[00:00] <Romina> fdoving, kubuntu-desktop should be a meta package
[00:00] <Romina> but lemme search
[00:00] <Romina>   Installed: (none)
[00:00] <Romina> interesting *g*
[00:00] <fdoving> did you uninstall any apps after installing?
[00:00] <Romina> maybe because I additionally installed xfce and gmome,  icewm and ...
[00:00] <Schuenemann> Romina, did you remove something from the default installation?
[00:00] <Romina> nope
[00:00] <Romina> I only installed tons of new stuff
[00:02] <fdoving> Romina: well, you should try to install at least kubuntu-default-settings then. kubuntu-desktop too, if you want the apps it recommends.

[00:07] <Dagon> Does anyone know when KDE 4 is going to be ready for download?
[00:09] <phoenixz> Hi there, how can I FORCE X to take a certain resolution?? My laptop is driving me *nuts* here, every time when I restart, X will show a wrong resolution on the external video.. I had it correctly one tijme, but now again, its wrong, the desktop is like just 10% (or so) bigger than the monitor and so I have to scroll around which is a bad thing (tm) for presentations..
[00:10] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: Problem solved
[00:10]  * bascule fails yo understand the desire to have something that currently has considerably less function than it's predecessor (kde3.5)
[00:10] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: apt-get install ivman pmount usbmount

[00:11] <michael> hello everyone happy new year.....my kdm theme manager doesn't work it does accept any theme i try to install..... anyone know how to fix it?

[00:14] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: Always the same... never upgrade... alway fresh clean install *g*
[00:15] <sub[t]rnl> sourcemaker➜ hehe, yeah there always seems to be snags
[00:15] <Schuenemann> comodo, what kind of server?
[00:15] <comodo> ftp
[00:16] <bascule> have a look at webmin
[00:16] <bascule> !info webmin
[00:16] <ubotu> Package webmin does not exist in gutsy
[00:16] <bascule> something like that it's called I am sure
[00:16] <comodo> ok i'll check it out thanks man
[00:17] <shaffy> can anyone offer any solutions to my current network problem:  i am connected to my wireless network, i can access my router through my webbrowser, but no internet capabilities are present for any applications.  also, other computers connected wirelessly to the network have internet capabilties.  it is just my kubuntu OS (my dualboot XP OS works fine, too).
[00:18] <shaffy> also, i am using the Wicd connection manager
[00:18] <bascule> shaffy: does it say unknown host?
[00:19] <Romina> fdoving, thank you for the tip with the "kubuntu-default-settings"  package
[00:19] <shaffy> bascule: do you mean in firefox?  it just shows server not found.  my Wicd manager shows me connected to my network fine, too.
[00:19] <Romina> fdoving, it helped ... now,  ~/.kde/share/config/profilerc   changes when I change something
[00:19] <bascule> shaffy: dns issue, why are you not using knetworkmanager?
[00:20] <shaffy> bascule:  i hate it.  i've always had problems with it connecting to my network.
[00:20] <shaffy> bascule:  but now it seems i'm having issues with wicd.  \
[00:20] <bascule> well you need to set nameserver into /etc/resolv.conf
[00:20] <fdoving> Romina: good thing it worked. going to bed, nite.
[00:21] <bascule> nameserver router.s.i.p
[00:22] <Romina> fdoving, are you still here?
[00:22] <mcvdjp> =))
[00:22] <Romina> fdoving, there is just one very small question remaining
[00:22] <Romina> at a default installation ....
[00:22] <shaffy> bascule:  THANK YOU!  it worked!
[00:22] <Romina> does  ~/.kde/share/config/profilerc   contain anything?
[00:22] <bascule> shaffy: welcome :)
[00:22] <shaffy> bascule:  how does such an error occur?
[00:23] <shaffy> i saw it switched from 192.168.0.1 to the erroneous 192.168.2.1
[00:23] <tony_> holaaaaa
[00:23] <Romina> if  ~/.kde/share/config/profilerc   does not contain anything on a plain default installation of kubuntu,   I could delete its content right now,  isn't it?
[00:23] <bascule> shaffy: well netwotkmanager would set nameserver for you with avahi, guess wicd doesn't do this
[00:24] <shaffy> bascule:  thanks again. :)  have a great day/night.
[00:25] <bascule> shaffy: np, you too, bed time for me, 2 x-files episodes, then sleep :)
[00:27] <ogre> how do i show wallpapers ive downloaded off the net?
[00:29] <Schuenemann> Romina, I believe so
[00:29] <Schuenemann> it appears to contain only what you changed
[00:30] <Romina> cool Schuenemann
[00:30] <Romina> th
[00:30] <Romina> x
[00:31] <shaffy> bascule:  hehe night then.

[01:17] <Jonny> Little help: ping machine works, but ping machine.domain.com doesn't
[01:17] <Jonny>  It gets the address of machine by looking it up in DNS, and resolv.conf has search domain.com
[01:17] <Jonny> ...any ideas anyone? :)
[01:17] <Jonny> Other clients within the same network run fine (they are debian)
[01:17] <Jonny> Thus it appears to be a clientside issue
[01:17] <Jonny> Adding machine.domain.com to /etc/hosts resolves the problem, but I'd like to know why this happened in the first place
[01:18] <nosrednaekim> Jonny: did you try putting a debian resolv.conf in ubuntu?
[01:18] <biovore> you have a DNS server?
[01:18] <biovore> thats registered?
[01:18] <InspironUser> Anyone run moblock on kubuntu?  How stable is it?
[01:18] <biovore> maybe I am just reading that wrong..
[01:18] <Jonny> biovore, I said other clients can handle things fine. The DNS server is local, the domain is an internal domain
[01:19] <Jonny> nosrednaekim, the resolv.confs are indeed identical :)
[01:19] <biovore> resolve.conf point to your local dns server first?
[01:19] <Jonny> biovore, it's the only one in the list at present ;)
[01:19] <biovore> firewall?
[01:19] <Jonny> This is a fresh install of kubuntu, all the network settings are the same as other clients here
[01:19] <Jonny> No firewalls involved - pinging it without the FQDN works fine
[01:20] <biovore> well its defently a dns resolution problem..
[01:20] <Jonny> Pinging external domains also works normally, and connecting to the machine I'm pinging and dig A machine.domain.com works properly
[01:20] <Jonny> Yeah.
[01:20] <Jonny> Something on this machine, but I can't figure out what
[01:21] <biovore> need to see what its doing when it runs gethostbyname()
[01:21] <Jonny> hehe
[01:21] <Jonny> Well it's too late to be picking through strace output now
[01:21] <Jonny> I was wondering if anyone else had come across this behaviour, that's all
[01:22] <biovore> well running wireshark on the dns server will show if it's asking to resolve a domain name..
[01:22] <Jonny> I've seen it on Windows clients many a time, but this is one of the few times I've seen a linux system do it
[01:22] <Jonny> After repeated double checks of configs and so on
[01:22] <Jonny> Yes I may check that next week
[01:22] <Jonny> Thanks for your help anyway :) Good night
[01:55] <pdenapo> Hi, I want to ask a question: I'm having the following trouble, my folders in kmail get orderered in reverse alphabetical order, how can I get them sorted in the correct order?
[01:57] <brmassa> i tried to install the kubuntu0-extra but i still cannot see any videos on kafeine
[01:57] <brmassa> nor ogg theora. even mp3 are ok.
[01:57] <tekteen> !w32codecs |brmassa
[01:57] <ubotu> brmassa: The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[01:58] <tekteen> !medibuntu |brmassa
[01:58] <ubotu> brmassa: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[01:58] <tekteen> brmassa: hope this helps :-)
[01:58] <brmassa> tekteen: for gutsy too?
[01:59] <tekteen> brmassa: yep
[01:59] <grunger> can anyone tell me where does Knotes store its data?
[02:00] <brmassa> tekteen: thanks. why the ubuntu says the kubuntu-restricted-extras package would be enough?
[02:00] <tekteen> brmassa: it does mp3 and java (not sure about flash)
[02:01] <tekteen> brmassa: w32codecs does every format
[02:01] <sub[t]rnl> grunger➜ ~/.kde/share/apps/knotes
[02:01] <tekteen> brmassa: also if u want to read dvds ...

[02:19] <GuyFromHell> stdin: ah, thank you =)
[02:47] <earthsound> i am having a problem with a couple of settings not sticking after a reboot: display resolution and network DNS servers. any ideas?
[02:47] <earthsound> i'm running kubuntu 7.10
[02:49] <earthsound> the DNS servers are going back to my ISPs default DNS servers and the display resolution is defaulting to 1600x1200 (instead of 1280x1024)

[02:57] <matthew_> When I copy music to ogg vorbis format, is that something any windows user can use?
[02:57] <xjdriver69> vlc
[02:57] <matthew_> Or should I use mp3 to give to windows users?
[02:57] <Schuenemann> matthew_, certainly
[02:58] <matthew_> Schuenemann: they won't need any special software download?
[02:58] <Schuenemann> matthew_, to play mp3, you need mp3 player. To play ogg, you need ogg player. I wouldn't call that "special"
[02:58] <Schuenemann> but I think WMP can play it
[02:58] <Schuenemann> and winamp, probably
[02:58] <matthew_> I don't know what comes with windows
[02:58] <matthew_> I don't use windows.. haven't for many years
[02:59] <matthew_> been all linux since 1998
[02:59] <Schuenemann> WMP is M$ crappy player
[02:59] <Schuenemann> IIRC I played one at work (win XP)
[02:59] <matthew_> ok.. great then
[02:59] <matthew_> because k3b gives me errors when trying to rip as mp3
[03:00] <Schuenemann> you don't have the mp3 encoder, maybe
[03:00] <Schuenemann> wait, k3b to rip?
[03:00] <matthew_> from music cd to ogg vorbis works fine with k3b
[03:00] <Schuenemann> hmm didn't know that
[03:00] <Schuenemann> I use kaudiocreator
[03:00] <earthsound> matthew_: in order to play an ogg file, a windows user will need the right codec
[03:01] <earthsound> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Media_help_(Ogg)
[03:01] <Schuenemann> matthew_, I guess you need lame to encode to mp3
[03:01] <Schuenemann> but I'd stick to ogg. It's free

[03:43] <Ed_E> Why don't you guys just put the version of flash before the newest one available in the repo's?
[03:44] <Ed_E> *Cricket's chirping*
[03:46] <stdin> Ed_E: because we don't distribute flash
[03:46] <stdin> Ed_E: the package just downloads the version from adobe
[03:47] <Ed_E> Is there a kubuntu repo, or do you guys use Ubuntu's repo's only?
[03:47] <stdin> kubuntu uses the XX.archive.ubuntu.com repos
[03:48] <Ed_E> I see...what about throwing the .deb for the older Flash on the site and having people downgrade...that's what I had to do to get Konqueror working again in Arch.  I had to back up to the prior version again, otherwise the NSPlugin App kept crashing.
[03:49] <stdin> Ed_E: like I said, the older .deb would still download the latest version of the flash plugin
[03:50] <Ed_E> Meh?
[03:50] <Ed_E> If you have an outdated deb it's not going to upgrade it.
[03:50] <stdin> "<stdin> Ed_E: the package just downloads the version from adobe"
[03:51] <stdin> it grabs the tar.gz, unpacks it and installs it
[03:51] <Ed_E> So no matter what version of the deb...it's designed to get the newest from Adobe...that's silly.
[03:52] <stdin> well adobe don't archive the versions and we can't redistribute it, so there's no choice
[03:53] <Ed_E> Well, I've discovered the first thing in Arch that is easier than Ubuntu.
[03:53] <Ed_E> All I had to do was downgrade to the older version and everything was working fine for me again.
[03:54] <stdin> maybe Arch distribute the .so, I don't know. we can't as it's illegal
[03:55] <Ed_E> Well, when you install a package and keeps it cached until you wipe your cache clean.  Basically when I upgrade I had the new package cached as well as the old.  All I had to do was uninstall one and install the other cached one.
[03:57] <stdin> yes, but the package in the cache just downloads the new tar.gz anyway, so that doesn't help here
[04:36] <jimmy51> howdy
[04:37] <jimmy51> i tried out suggestions earlier to restore my graphics after trying to install the non-free ATI driver
[04:38] <jimmy51> the restore worked, but attempting to install the driver again caused the same problem
[04:38] <jimmy51> Q:  is there a way to force a re-download of the driver?  also, is there some log I can check to see what the issue was?
[04:57] <sonoftheclayr> Does anyone know of any tweaks to make KDE faster?
[04:58] <Ed_E> Yeah...switch from Kubuntu to Sidux LOL
[04:58] <sonoftheclayr> Oh yeah?
[04:58] <Ed_E> Dude...Sidux is super fast.
[04:58] <Ed_E> It's based on KDE too
[04:59] <Ed_E> I like to say it's like Debian with a rocket up it's ass.
[04:59] <sonoftheclayr> Okay so it's debian based? That's good. Make it easier
[04:59] <Ed_E> Yep, but it doesn't come with Synaptic or anything...
[04:59] <Ed_E> So, you can add synaptic but you have to do it from the CL
[04:59] <Ed_E> So, it's not a noob distro
[05:00] <sonoftheclayr> That's fine I usually use the CL to install things anyway
[05:00] <Ed_E> But it's fast dude...or Arch, but Arch will turn someone back to Windows crying if your not advanced.
[05:00] <sonoftheclayr> I'm using irssi right now. I don't mind using the CL. I prefer it sometimes
[05:00] <Ed_E> Oh, cool
[05:00] <Ed_E> Yeah bro...your not an Ubuntu user LOL
[05:00] <Ed_E> Arch or Sidux
[05:00] <Ed_E> You like Debian...Sidux all the way.
[05:00] <sonoftheclayr> Thanks. I'll check them out
[05:01] <Ed_E> Hey...you keep up on Linux news?
[05:01]  * dr_willis will stick with Ubuntu
[05:01] <Ed_E> Distro hopping is fun...
[05:01] <sonoftheclayr> I try to
[05:01] <Ed_E> Well, do me a favor...
[05:01] <Ed_E> http://www.linux-revolution.com
[05:01] <Ed_E> That's my site...
[05:02] <Ed_E> I haven't really pushed it too much yet because I'm trying to get advice on what to change and what not yet, but I'd like people to come check it out and let me know what they think.
[05:02] <sonoftheclayr> Look's good. First thing I'd do is get an RSS feed
[05:03] <dr_willis> once ya learn the fundamentals of linux. :) the disrto differances .. can get annoying. :)
[05:03] <Ed_E> Well, none of the news is mine...but I should add the RSS
[05:03] <sonoftheclayr> Yeah one of the main things that turns me off sites is a lack of a feed
[05:03] <Ed_E> I'm pulling other RSS's
[05:03] <Ed_E> Hmm...
[05:03] <Ed_E> Thanks
[05:04] <Ed_E> My goal is to take the best RSS and have them available on my site
[05:04] <sonoftheclayr> That would ne good
[05:04] <Ed_E> Those sites on there are my most common news sites, so for me...I don't even use a RSS reader anymore...I have all the news updated on there.
[05:08] <jeff__> has anyone gotten projectm to work?
[05:09] <Ed_E> I'll make sure that all the RSS feeds are available on my site...

[06:23] <max32167> you mean i must manually copy it to  /etc/apt/ dir ?
[06:23] <sub[t]rnl> save the contents to "sources.list".  Then sudo cp sources.list /etc/apt/ && sudo apt-get update

[06:44] <ardchoille> I'd be willing to bet copying over the entire ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok directory would work
[06:44] <jsokzb538h> that is the mysql light db, which doesn't contain any thing, I configured amarok to use postgresql

[07:43] <yao_ziyuan> adept-manager is easily broken
[07:43] <yao_ziyuan> and when it's broken, it can't be back
[07:43] <dsmith_> no
[07:43] <dsmith_> ouch
[07:43] <yao_ziyuan> i tried to download several wxpython packages
[07:43] <yao_ziyuan> probably one of them was not completely downloaded due to a network problem
[07:44] <yao_ziyuan> and while installing these packages, adept-manager reported an error

[07:45] <yao_ziyuan> so anyway adept-manager should be more robust...

[09:14] <Peaker> Hi, I have a bug here where sometimes whatever key I press is sent to the app as if it was pressed about 20 times. I suspect its caused by some driver lag, does anyone know about this or solutions to this?
[09:15] <Peaker> I press Ctrl+W to close a Firefox tab, and instead it closes 20 tabs, typically killing firefox :-(
[09:16] <pag> Peaker, I've heard about it, and the 'fix' (not *really* fixes the problem, but makes it more apperant) was to disable keyboard repeat in kcontrol
[09:25] <yao_ziyuan> wanna query about that latest alpha 2 release
[09:25] <yao_ziyuan> is it good?
[09:25] <yao_ziyuan> is i worth upgrading to?
[09:27] <Peaker> pag: Not being able to backspace or move continuously is probably even worse...

[09:40] <yao_ziyuan> or:
[09:40] <yao_ziyuan> does reinstalling a package in adept-manager/synaptic/whatever also reset the package's configuration?
[09:41] <jussi01> yao_ziyuan: it depends on whether you completely remove it or not, and it will never remove file you have created
[09:42] <fuzzy> my sounds doesn't work, can anyone point me in the right direction?
[09:42] <ardchoille> yao_ziyuan: Where is the configuration file you ruined?
[09:42] <ardchoille> !sound | fuzzy
[09:42] <ubotu> fuzzy: 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
[09:42] <yao_ziyuan> i only know that i ruined SKIM, SCIM, SCIM-PINYIN
[09:42] <fuzzy> thx
[09:42] <yao_ziyuan> these 3 are essential for chinese input
[09:42] <jussi01> fuzzy: what kind of sound card?
[09:43] <fuzzy> in kinfocenter it pulls up as ALC260

[09:50] <jussi01> yep: of course - you remove it the same as any other program from the repositories
[09:51] <fuzzy> if the drivers for my sound card were incorrect, it wouldnt show up in kinfocenter, right?
[09:58] <yao_ziyuan> what is the diff between Remove and Completely Remove a package?
[09:59] <jussi01> yao_ziyuan: remove just removes the files, completely remove takes all of the programs config files
[10:00] <yao_ziyuan> good

[10:02] <sourcemaker> I have downloaded the kde4 live cd... Can I start this with XEN?

[12:28] <Black_Monkey> hi, what's all the kde4 upgrades I'm getting today?
[12:30] <Black_Monkey> is that the latest svn?
[12:30] <Arielle> sorry I do not understand
[12:30] <Arielle> i am only 11
[12:31] <guardian> thx jussi01
[12:31] <cef> Black_Monkey: are you running hardy or gutsy?
[12:31] <Black_Monkey> gutsy
[12:31] <cef> won't be latest svn then
[12:31] <cef> it might be bugfixes
[12:31] <cef> which it does need (cos things I have keep crashing)
[12:32] <cef> hopefully it'll address some of that
[12:32] <Black_Monkey> it says on some packages that it's updating from 3.9.7 to 3.9.8... and had "svn" somewhere
[12:32] <pag> Black_Monkey, I don't really know, but KDE 4.0 has been tagged for release a while ago... they *might* be packages for that (disclaimer: I'm just guessing.)
[12:32] <bratzgal> i am 11 honestly
[12:32] <Black_Monkey> pag: yeah, tagged yesterday, I thought that...
[12:32] <bratzgal> http://blingee.com/profile/arielle12er/

[12:39] <ardchoille> joe_: Then you need to go to the support channel for freespire
[12:39] <joe_> no, cus this is ubuntu, same thing
[12:40] <ardchoille> This is the support channel for Kubuntu. The support channel for Ubuntu is #ubuntu. Freespire is not Ubuntu.
[12:40] <joe_> yes freespire is. go read the web sitew
[12:40] <joe_> ubuntu, kubuntu, same thing, sheese
[12:43] <meduxa> hi all, I want to try a speech to text app (if there is any for gutsy or feisty). Any recommendation?
[12:43] <_Angelus_> guys is kde4 RC2 too buged? or is it ok for use?
[12:44] <sub[t]rnl> meduxa➜ KTTS
[12:45] <pag> _Angelus_, if you have to ask, then you probably should wait to 4.1 ;)
[12:45] <sub[t]rnl> _Angelus_➜ its ok to use, if  you don't mine being buggy :p
[12:45] <_Angelus_> how much buggy?
[12:45] <meduxa> I thought that one was a text to speech only app. Thnks. I'll try
[12:45] <_Angelus_> :o
[12:46] <onishidato> !password
[12:46] <ubotu> Forgot your password? Boot into recovery mode. What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords
[12:47] <pag> _Angelus_, personally I wouldn't call it buggy - it just lacks some of expected functionality (at least it did ~a month ago, and I don't think packages have updated much)
[12:47] <_Angelus_> oh
[12:47] <_Angelus_> so i doesn't crash with every click i make? :P
[12:47] <_Angelus_> thenkl its ok
[12:48] <_Angelus_> *then
[12:48] <pag> not every click... 1 in 10 000 probably :)
[12:49] <_Angelus_> oh
[12:49] <_Angelus_> its ok then
[12:49] <_Angelus_> but, somehow installing kde4 RC2 removed my kdebase-bin-kde3
[12:49] <_Angelus_> O_o
[12:56] <walkover> hey! how do i make compiz start automatically with every session? (There is no compiz session to choose)
[12:56] <ardchoille> !compiz | walkover
[12:56] <ubotu> walkover: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion
[12:56] <walkover> thanks
[12:57] <ardchoille> yw
[12:57] <Black_Monkey> oh yeah, with the kde4 packages on kubuntu, the panel's gone and I can't get it back
[13:01] <vzduch> anyone know why a VirtualBox pkg that's listed w/ dpkg -l could not be removed using dpkg -e?  error says unable to read archive
[13:05] <Black_Monkey> hm, I have a 2nd session that I can't get back into, is there any way to kill it off?
[13:07] <meduxa> hi again, from what I've read, ktts is a text to speech app, not a speech to text app, right?
[13:07] <meduxa> I'm looking for a speech to text app that works for gutsy or fesity
[13:07] <meduxa> feisty
[13:07] <meduxa> if there is any
[13:08] <meduxa> any help?
[13:15] <Black_Monkey> when logged onto kde4, I can't use sudo :/
[13:22] <guardian> is the RC2 live cd installable ?
[13:22] <guardian> the KDE4 RC2 live cd i mean
[13:22] <guardian> and then will i be able to update ?
[13:23] <ghosTM55> can i get kde4 via apt-get after the kde4 released?
[13:23] <pag> guardian, I'm 60 % sure, it's installable. And if you can install it, of couse you can also update it (if not graphically, then at least with command line)
[13:24] <pag> ghosTM55, there will be packages, yes.
[13:24] <ghosTM55> pag: thx , i see
[13:24] <Black_Monkey> ghosTM55: you can install kde4 packages now, and run them alongside kde3
[13:25] <ghosTM55> Black_Monkey: kde4 ain't in my source
[13:25] <guardian> ok downloading :)
[13:27] <ghosTM55> Black_Monkey: how can i get kde4 via apt?
[13:28] <pag> ghosTM55, read the instructions from link in the topic ;)
[13:28] <membrive> ghosTM55, you can add now unofficial apt repos for kde4, but still not kde4 final
[13:29] <ghosTM55> pag: thx 4 help , i'm only a newbie ;-)
[13:29] <lokpest> hi, where do I check those things with either status [ok] or [fail] flashing away fast on the screen when im turning the computer off?
[13:29] <ghosTM55> membrive: thx too
[13:30] <Daisuke_Ido> check in /var/log (iirc)
[13:30] <lokpest> uhm, yeah, more specicific would be great though
[13:30] <Daisuke_Ido> i'm looking.
[13:34] <Daisuke_Ido> yeah, not seeing it.
[13:37] <lokpest> Daisuke_Ido: ok :/
[13:38] <lokpest> it freakin imposible to see, onscreen like a second, tops
[13:38] <sub[t]rnl>  /var/log/boot is where it would be logged too
[13:39] <sub[t]rnl> has to be enabled in /etc/default/bootlogd though
[13:39] <lokpest> even tried to record it whith my phonecamera..... *rolleyes*
[13:39] <lokpest> sub[t]rnl: "(Nothing has been logged yet.)"
[13:39] <sub[t]rnl> has to be enabled in /etc/default/bootlogd though
[13:41] <lokpest> change BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=No to BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes
[13:41] <kingincrimson> ciao
[13:41] <lokpest> sub[t]rnl: sounds obv, but just to be sure
[13:41] <arken> Hello. I need help with my kubuntu PC. I installed the restricted drivers for my GeForce 8500 GT, and now my max resolution is at 640x480. How can I change this?
[13:41] <kingincrimson> hello
[13:41] <sub[t]rnl> lokpest➜ yup thats the one
[13:43] <membrive> arken, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and change your windows modes (read some info in google if u didnt this never)
[13:43] <membrive> your graphics modes* (sorry)
[13:45] <_Angelus_> guys, somebody here knows how to make the panel in kde4 shorter, like the screen shots on kubuntu's website?
[13:48] <arken> membrive: Can you give me slightly more detailed information?
[13:49] <membrive> with "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" you can reconfigure the X server, with that you can define what resolution you want, for example
[13:50] <membrive> anyway you can modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf with any text editor
[13:51] <arken> ok. thank you. I did this and now I assume I should restart?
[13:52] <membrive> for example, you can read about that http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973
[13:52] <membrive> yes
[13:52] <membrive> you need restart X server
[13:52] <arken> how do i do that?
[13:52] <arken> just the whole computer?
[13:52] <membrive> control + alt  + backspace
[14:04] <sivaji> how to change my DNS address ?
[14:05] <_Angelus_> so nobody knows how to resize the panel in kde 4?
[14:05] <_Angelus_> :/
[14:05] <sivaji> _Angelus_ try  #ubuntu
[14:05] <_Angelus_> you sending me in the "gnome" channel to get help on kde 4?
[14:05] <_Angelus_> lol
[14:06] <RurouniJones> What command can you use to rejoin some files that have been split using the "split" command? "join" doesn't seem to cut the mustard
[14:07] <sivaji> RurouniJones use cat
[14:07] <RurouniJones> Ah yes, cheers
[14:08] <SSJ_GZ> _Angelus_: You could try #plasma.  I think aseigo is the one who changed the default size; ask him how this was accomplished.
[14:08] <SSJ_GZ> _Angelus_: There's a chance that it is literally hard-coded into Plasma.
[14:08] <_Angelus_> ok
[14:09] <SSJ_GZ> _Angelus_: Note that RC2 is badly out of date, though.
[14:09] <_Angelus_> out od date SSJ_GZ ? RC2 is the latest kde4 release O_O
[14:11] <RurouniJones> can still be out of date compared to the code trunk.
[14:11] <SSJ_GZ> Yeah, it's about 10000 revisions out of date, I think.
[14:11] <RurouniJones> which is eminently possible given the amount of work being done on KDE
[14:30] <TimS> How can I unrar split archives, as in part1, part2
[14:31] <theTheme> Is it possible to make kontact run in the system tray?

[15:16] <onishidato> vzduch: what do you mean?
[15:16] <onishidato> src?
[15:16] <vzduch> package source
[15:16] <onishidato> vzduch: type sudo apt-get install pidgin
[15:17] <vzduch> onishidato: it's not that easy unfortunately
[15:17] <onishidato> vzduch: why?
[15:17] <onishidato> vzduch: what's wrong?
[15:17] <vzduch> if an 'apt-cache search pidgin' returns nothing, there's no source for it
[15:17] <jacou> hello, I have a pb with kubuntu : neither konqueror or dolphin is able to show me what is in my /media/camera when I click on USB Mass Storage Interface in /media
[15:18] <vzduch> jacou: is the camera mounted?
[15:18] <jacou> where could this pb comme from  ?
[15:18] <GLADtr> so
[15:18] <jacou> I actuelly don't know
[15:18] <jacou> how can I tell ?
[15:18] <vzduch> type 'mount' in a terminal and paste to pastebin
[15:19] <onishidato> vzduch: have you upgrade you apt?
[15:19] <vzduch> onishidato: the pkgs don't come out of the blue, you need an adequate source
[15:19] <jacou> then it is not mounted
[15:19] <onishidato> vzduch: how about you apt setting?
[15:19] <vzduch> that's what I asked for
[15:19] <vzduch> define 'apt setting'
[15:20] <onishidato> vzduch: have you set it to multiverse?
[15:20] <vzduch> is it in multiverse?
[15:20] <jacou> but I can't see the camera in /dev/
[15:20] <vzduch> that's what I asked for
[15:20] <jacou> which is funny cos' I can see it if I plug it in my other computer...
[15:21] <vzduch> onishidato: apt-cache showpkg pidgin
[15:21] <vzduch> it should give info on what repo it's in
[15:22] <onishidato> so you shoulde set it into multiverse
[15:23] <onishidato> vzduch: system->apt manager-> adept-> manager...
[15:23] <onishidato> vzduch: and change it into multiverse
[15:24] <zipper> I'm trying to extract data, that is split up in several rar-files (.r00 , r01 and so on). Ark cannot seem to do this for me, any hints?
[15:24] <vzduch> onishidato: I asked you to look for something for me, would you please be so kind.. :)
[15:25] <vzduch> I'm not on *buntu myself, trying to find this out for someone else
[15:25] <onishidato> vzduch: ok
[15:25] <jacou> vzduch: why doesn't the camera appear in /dev with this kubuntu but appears in my /dev with my gentoo (in /dev/sb1 to be precise) ?
[15:25] <vzduch> jacou: no idea
[15:25] <jacou> 16:30:16 < vzduch> I'm not on *buntu myself, trying to find this out for someone else <= lol, me too
[15:25] <onishidato> can any one tell me this error: "Dependency is not satisfiable: libssi09.6"
[15:26] <vzduch> dependency conflict

[15:41] <belsebubb> Anyone got ntop runnign without errors | warnings ??
[15:44] <Warrior> Is there a n00b help channel? I'm trying to figure some stuff out that I think is pretty elementary, but don't want to bog the main forum
[15:45] <SSJ_GZ> Warrior: Here's fine :)
[15:45] <belsebubb> Warrior, your in it
[15:45] <pag> Warrior, could you be more specific on 'some stuff' - it's hard to guess ;)
[15:45] <Warrior> sweet
[15:46] <Warrior> lol. simple things. like, can't figure out how to make Dolphin my default file browser. i dislike whatever Nautilus
[15:47] <belsebubb> Warrior, you want kde?
[15:47] <Warrior> p.s. i'm using Gnome on a kubuntu system
[15:47] <jacou> ...
[15:48] <Warrior> am i about to be stoned by you?
[15:48] <Warrior> lol.
[15:48] <belsebubb> Warrior, gnome is just a DE they both got the same base system
[15:48] <Warrior> do they use different programs by default though?
[15:49] <pag> Warrior, for gnome related questions you're probably better off in #ubuntu - most of us here use KDE, and our knowledge in gnome isn't probably as good as theirs
[15:49] <Warrior> alright. thats what i was about to realize. thanks pag
[15:49] <Warrior> so, even if kubuntu is my base system, and i installed the gnome package, should i proceed as if i were using ubu?
[15:50] <SSJ_GZ> Warrior: I think that would make the most sense, yes :)
[15:50] <jannis> moin
[15:51] <onishidato> can any one tell me this error: "Dependency is not satisfiable: libssi09.6"
[15:51] <Warrior> thanks all.
[15:51] <jacou> Warrior: the only difference between kubuntu and ubuntu is the DE you use
[15:51] <pag> onishidato, it's pretty self-explanary. what are you trying to do?
[15:51] <Warrior> :)
[15:52] <onishidato> pag: trying to install yahoo for linux
[15:52] <jacou> yahoo for linux ?
[15:52] <onishidato> jacou: yep
[15:53] <jacou> what is it ?
[15:53] <onishidato> jacou: it yahoo program for linux
[15:54] <pag> onishidato, why? Kopete probably provides almost the same functionality... but to be more helpful: how are you trying to install it?
[15:54] <jacou> ah yahoo messanger
[15:54] <jacou> why don't you use pidgin or kopete ?
[15:54] <onishidato> pag: i'm trying to know how can yahoo run in linux
[15:55] <onishidato> jacou: he he, lots of aims, he he
[15:56] <pag> onishidato, so, how are you trying to install it. via .deb? or some other file format?
[15:56] <onishidato> deb
[15:58] <pag> those packages must be ancient.. there's no 'libssi' in gutsy, and libssl (which I expect it to need) is at version 0.9.8 ...
[15:59] <onishidato> so i can't install it?

[16:31] <jimmy51> has anybody run into this before?
[16:31] <tekteen> jimmy51: did u use the restricted drivers manager?
[16:32] <tekteen> jimmy51? How did you install the restricted drivers?
[16:35] <jimmy51> tekteen:  i tried that initially, but that always left me with a dead gui
[16:35] <jimmy51> blank screen until reconfiguring xserver
[16:35] <happytiger> how to remap my f1-f12 keys? I have xkb option = dk in my xorg.conf file and I can type my local characters but problem is that
[16:35] <jimmy51> i'll get a link to the procedure i used.... hang on
[16:35] <happytiger> Alt+f2 doesnt open run and alt+f4 doesnt close windows
[16:36] <happytiger> so seems my f1-f10 keys are not mapped correctly
[16:36] <tekteen> happytiger: go to system settings
[16:36] <happytiger> runnibg kde4
[16:36] <tekteen> happytiger: nm
[16:37] <happytiger> tekteen: lol yeah is says layout = dk in there to

[16:42] <tekteen> jimmy51: u did the "ubuntu" way
[16:42] <yao_ziyuan> i just tried upgrading all upgradable packages in kubuntu 7.10
[16:43] <jimmy51> tekteen:  what's the easy way?
[16:43] <yao_ziyuan> this time, except that some packages don't install (e.g. qt3mt), everything is fine
[16:43] <tekteen> jimmy51: can u see the k menu?
[16:43] <jimmy51> tekteen:  and will it perform better than this?  it takes about 15 seconds for the IRC window to refresh anytime someone talks
[16:43] <jimmy51> tekteen:  i sure can

[16:44] <tekteen> go to the system settings program
[16:44] <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.

[16:45] <tekteen> jimmy51: then go to the advanced tab
[16:45] <jimmy51> tekteen:  ok.  by the way, if you're steering my towards the restricted drivers page, that was what i tried first.  after a reboot i would only get a blank screen
[16:46] <tekteen> ok
[16:46] <tekteen> jimmy51: the best thing I can do is get u back to the way it used to be
[16:47] <happytiger> hmm seens something is wrong in kde4 regarding keyboard shortcuts cant add new once in systemsetting-kde4
[16:47] <Ruge3> do you use vmware-server on kubuntu 7.10???
[16:47] <jimmy51> tekteen:  tekteen:  ok, i'm in advanced
[16:48] <tekteen> jimmy51: I thought u said that the restrict. driver manager did not work?
[16:48] <Ramchan> had anyone tried ntfsclone command to backup hard disk ?
[16:48]  * tekteen uses qemu and virtualbox not vmware-server
[16:49] <tekteen> Ramchan: I backup my hd with dd gzip and split
[16:50] <happytiger> I use wmware workstation 6.0.2 build-59824 in gutsy and it works just perfekt in both kde 3 and kde 4
[16:50] <Ramchan> tekteen: can u give a eg
[16:51] <jim__> when updating from 6.06 to 7.10, is there a way to just update, and not completely reinstall?
[16:51] <jimmy51> tekteen:  after my fresh install, i tried enabling the restricted drivers.  it required a reboot, and after rebooting, my gui was dead.  i restored back to the generic drivers.  i read online and found a way to use the ATI supplied drivers.  after following the procedure (and disabling the normal fglrx stuff) i'm running on  the real deal, but it's running like crap.
[16:51] <Jodak> are there flash and java plugins that will work with konqueror?
[16:51] <Jodak> for a 64 bit
[16:51] <Ruge3> happytiger: i cannot personalize the configuration of nat network vmnet8, some idea???
[16:51] <jimmy51> tekteeen:  i was thinking installing the propietary drivers would unlock my card's potential and i could see pretty 3d stuff, like games
[16:52] <tekteen> Ramchan: dd if=/dev/hda1 | gzip | split -B 700000 backup.date.iso.
[16:52] <jimmy51> tekteen:  but now it seems like i'm running on a 200mhz machine or something
[16:52] <Ramchan> thnx tekteen :)
[16:52] <tekteen> jimmy51: All my linux computers do use 3d drivers
[16:53] <happytiger> Ruge3:   changing in  /etc/vmware/vmnet8/nat/nat.conf doesn help???
[16:53] <tekteen> Ramchan: make sure it is unmounted!
[16:53] <Ruge3> happytiger: it doesn't work!!!
[16:53] <Ramchan> yep
[16:53] <eMaX> hi all
[16:54] <Ruge3> with ifconfig i cannot see vmnet8
[16:54] <tekteen> Ramchan: also use man split
[16:54] <tekteen> Ramchan: find out how to use it
[16:54] <happytiger> Ruge3: Hmm havent tried that with this last install of wmare, worked before
[16:54] <Ruge3> i also tried with vmware-config-netwok.pl
[16:54] <jimmy51> tekteen:  what can i check to see why it's running like a dog?
[16:55] <eMaX> is there a way to browse pdf files with konqueror? Instead of the small preview, I'd like to have something like a folder / file tree on the left and an xpdf or similar view of the currently selected file in the main window, so that I don't have to constantly "go back" like I have to with konqueror
[16:55] <tekteen> jimmy51: run the 3d test program
[16:56] <jim__> when updating from 6.06 to 7.10, is there a way to just update, and not completely reinstall?
[16:56] <tekteen> jimmy51: it is probably called fglx_gears
[16:56] <dr_willis> !update
[16:56] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[16:56] <jeff___> any one have any good rescorces for linux mce ?
[16:56] <dr_willis> jim__:  it may be best to do a clean reinstall.
[16:56] <dr_willis> !mce
[16:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mce - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:56] <tekteen> jimmy51: fglrx_gears?
[16:56] <tekteen> jimmy51: something close
[16:56] <jim__> that bwould them mean reinstalling all my software
[16:56] <jeff___> thnks
[16:57] <tekteen> jimmy51: this will tell us if the 3d works
[16:57] <dr_willis> jim__:  yes it would.. but upgrading can often cause issues.
[16:57] <happytiger> !kde4
[16:57] <ubotu> kde4 is KDE 4 is the next major release of the K Desktop Environment. For more information, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_4 - The Release Schedule is available at http://tinyurl.com/2gqwmr - RC 2 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php
[16:57] <jim__> and even one program can take up to a few hours
[16:58] <dr_willis> jim__:  sounds like you are doing some..  odd.. things..
[16:58] <jim__> no, my internet connection is 20k doalup
[16:59] <dr_willis> well upgrading till download  several 100mb of pacakges also...
[16:59] <dr_willis> so Your main issue is dialup. I guess.
[16:59] <jim__> I have the CD for the basics
[16:59] <dr_willis> If you did a clean install from a Kubuntu  - that would save some time, You have to upgrade in steps. from one release to the next..
[17:00] <dr_willis> even a clean install of 7.10 proberly has 100mb+ of upgrades  once you get it nstalled cleanly
[17:00] <jimmy51> tekteen:   command not found ... it's either something else or i don't have it
[17:00] <dr_willis> depending on what you use.
[17:00] <RurouniJones> He is gone dr_willis
[17:00] <dr_willis> Well! how rude. :)
[17:00] <RurouniJones> I think it was accidental
[17:01] <dr_willis> heh heh..
[17:01] <dr_willis> Accident waiting to happen.
[17:01] <tekteen> jimmy51: type fgl<Tab many times>
[17:01] <dr_willis> I wonder how many mb the first upgrade from a Clean Kubuntu install is.
[17:01] <dr_willis> The Kubuntu/Ubuntu cd's dont get 'remasterrd' every few months with updates do they?
[17:01] <jpatrick> dr_willis: sometimes
[17:02] <tekteen> until it gives you all the programs that start with fgl
[17:02] <Jeroi> dr_willis thats because 1.10 is already quite old version and programs have upgraded since the release of 1.10 many times already
[17:02] <jpatrick> dr_willis: iirc it was done for Dapper once
[17:02] <dr_willis> Ok. I just never rembered that happening. :)
[17:06] <tux2> ...
[17:06] <tux2> hello
[17:06] <ubuntu_> hi
[17:06] <Jeroi> hi
[17:07] <tux2> can somebody help me ?
[17:07] <raingirl> :p
[17:08] <tekteen> !ask|tux2
[17:08] <ubotu> tux2: 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. :-)
[17:09] <Ramchan> tekteen - once u backup hd  to image, how do u extract ?
[17:09] <tux2> ok : -sorry for my english- : i've a problem with kubuntu when i want to add a program
[17:10] <tux2> i cannot :why ?
[17:10] <pag> tux2, how are you trying to add it?
[17:11] <pag> (and which program?)
[17:11] <tux2> with "Add/Remove programs"
[17:11] <tekteen> Ramchan: cat backup.date.iso.* | gzip -d > /dev/hda1
[17:11] <tekteen> no
[17:11] <brunatos> hello everyone i' got a probleme with kubuntu 7.10(gutsy) when i would make an upgrade, the system crashed and now dpkg won't do nothing [Xcuse my poor english i'm french]
[17:11] <tekteen> cat backup.date.iso.* | gzip -d | sudo dd of=/dev/hda1
[17:12] <tux2> i must give a password but i'ts never ok.Why ?i gave my passwd and the root passwd
[17:12] <tekteen> Ramchan: look at the second one
[17:12] <Ramchan> ya cool
[17:12] <tux2> i'll test to add something with Konsole
[17:12] <tux2> gd bye
[17:12] <pag> tux2, hmm.. open konsole ( somewhere in KMenu ) and type " id -u "  what does that output?
[17:13] <zipper> I'm trying to extract data, that is split up in several rar-files (.r00 , r01 and so on). Ark cannot do this for me, any hints?
[17:14] <pag> zipper, " sudo apt-get install unrar "
[17:14] <tux2> pag:i've a number,the"UID"
[17:14] <tekteen> zipper: I use xarchive for that
[17:14] <zipper> pag, i have unrar-free, it cannot extract them either =/
[17:14] <zipper> tekteen, thx
[17:14] <brunatos> does anyone install Kubuntu 7.10 ???
[17:15] <tekteen> zipper: when u install xarchive also install unrar
[17:15] <Kubuntu-Gregg> hi folks -- i have a file that has been sent to me in multiple parts, in teh format waterfall.avi.001, waterfall.avi.002 etc.  I am looking for a program (gui preferred but not required) to put it back together
[17:15] <brunatos> Xtremsplit
[17:15] <tekteen> zipper: xarchive will use unrar
[17:15] <elf_> !mpg
[17:15] <Kubuntu-Gregg> brunatos: was that aimed at me?
[17:15] <pag> zipper, that unrar-free is exactly the reason; it doesn't support all the features of unrar
[17:15] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[17:16] <dr_willis> lots of people have installed 7.10  :)
[17:16] <brunatos> yep
[17:16] <tekteen> Kubuntu-Gregg: it looks to me like cat would do it
[17:16] <Kubuntu-Gregg> thanks
[17:16] <brunatos> yes meeee dr willis
[17:16] <Nevoeiro> hi. just curiosity... does next version of kubuntu include 3d desktop effects like compiz (or something like that)?
[17:16]  * pag hopes that it won't
[17:16] <Kubuntu-Gregg> tekteen: how do i use that?
[17:16] <dr_willis> !compiz | Nevoeiro
[17:16] <ubotu> Nevoeiro: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion
[17:16] <Kubuntu-Gregg> !xtremsplit
[17:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xtremsplit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:16] <mixed> how do I know which version of kubuntu I have?
[17:16] <Nevoeiro> he.. thx dr_willis
[17:16] <tekteen> Nevoeiro: kubuntu 4,0 has a composite manager
[17:17] <dr_willis> The  KDE4 has its own alternative
[17:17] <dr_willis> :)
[17:17] <Nevoeiro> :)
[17:17] <u1> yepa
[17:17] <brunatos> it's a prog for join splitted files
[17:17] <Nevoeiro> i prefer kde than gnome..
[17:17] <Nevoeiro> hehe
[17:17] <brunatos> like 001&002...
[17:17] <Kubuntu-Gregg> in the repos?
[17:17] <Jodak> I cant seem to get a working flash or java plugin for ubuntu 7.10 atall - on any browser
[17:17] <mixed> anyone knows how I can find out what version of kubuntu is installed in my machine?
[17:17] <pag> mixed, in konsole, do: " lsb_release -a "
[17:18] <zipper> pag, hmm, but even with multiverse and universe in my sources.list i cannot find any "unrar" package?
[17:18] <brunatos> it crash my pc on the install and it 's broken now i'm came for looking some help
[17:18] <mixed> pag, ubuntu 7.10, gutsy, thanks!
[17:18] <dr_willis> !info unrar
[17:18] <ubotu> unrar: Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:3.7.3-1.1 (gutsy), package size 94 kB, installed size 232 kB
[17:18] <pag> zipper, " sudo apt-get update " is a friend ;)
[17:18] <dr_willis> zipper:  you did a sudo apt-get update, after changing the sources.list ?
[17:18] <Nevoeiro> *click*
[17:18] <Arelis> Hi all. I really prefer to use KDE, but Ubuntu is so focused on GNOME>. Will Kubuntu work fine with all my hardware? Printers, USB sticks, cd-roms..
[17:19] <dr_willis> Arelis:  they use the same linux foundation. should work identically
[17:19] <tekteen> Arelis: yes
[17:19] <Arelis> Also, i don't like Kubuntu's modifications. How can i install 'vanilla' kde, is it without the modifications, and does it support that hardware?
[17:19] <WaltzingAlong> Arelis: if you prefer kde then use kubuntu instead of ubuntu
[17:20] <tekteen> Arelis: is vanilla a theme?
[17:20] <Arelis> tekteen: No. it means unmodified KDE
[17:20] <mixed> page, thank you!  i am now downloading the extras
[17:20] <Arelis> let me rephrase that question..
[17:20] <mixed> anyways, so howś it hanging peoples!  happy new year :-)
[17:20] <Arelis> I don't like Kubuntu's modifications. How can i install an unmodified kde, is it without the modifications (Dolphin), and does it support that hardware?
[17:21] <pag> Arelis, compiling vanilla kde will probably work? :D
[17:21] <brunatos> can we reinstall kubuntu since delete the usr/ ???
[17:21] <pag> Arelis, dolphin can be disabled, default settings can be removed..
[17:21] <dr_willis> !dolphin
[17:21] <ubotu> Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin.
[17:21] <Arelis> pag: application choice, too.
[17:21] <Kubuntu-Gregg> brunatos: where can i find xtremsplit?
[17:22] <pag> Arelis, install kde-core and build ontop of it?
[17:22] <brunatos> i found it on the web not on depots
[17:22] <Kubuntu-Gregg> ok
[17:22] <Arelis> I would like to have an unmodified, stable KDE, (last time i used Kubuntu Feisty it was unstable.. even Adept crashed)
[17:22] <Arelis> pag: Tried that once. Made every piece of hardware fail :P
[17:22] <Arelis> (except videocard)
[17:22] <Arelis> with hardware i just mean printers, usb sticks, cd-roms, dvds (not the video codecs, though), wacom tablets...
[17:23]  * dr_willis thinks Arelis  had some bad luck.
[17:23] <dr_willis> ive never had kde screw up  for me that much.
[17:23] <Arelis> dr_willis: It was on a previous pc.. that was wrongly built, anyways :)
[17:23] <pag> Arelis, I manage to understand the rest, but usb sticks? :O
[17:23] <tekteen> Arelis: If I were to do this I would 1.use gentoo and 2. install the minimal ubuntu version then install kde
[17:24] <Arelis> tekteen: 'kde' package?
[17:24] <tekteen> Arelis: or not and
[17:24] <Kubuntu-Gregg> tekteen: how do i use cat to join that file?
[17:24] <tekteen> Kubuntu-Gregg: I do not know if cat would work
[17:24] <Arelis> pag: Automounting of USB sticks.
[17:24] <Kubuntu-Gregg> tekteen: oh -- im sorry i mis read you
[17:25] <brunatos> what can i do after a upgrade crash that broke the dpkg command ??? i've test to do a dpk --configure -a but there is a probleme in the fil of status of dpkg
[17:25] <tekteen> Kubuntu-Gregg: do u want to try it
[17:25] <Kubuntu-Gregg> yes
[17:25] <tekteen> Kubuntu-Gregg: open a konsole
[17:25] <tekteen> Kubuntu-Gregg: cd to the folder
[17:26] <Arelis> !kde
[17:26] <Kubuntu-Gregg> ok
[17:26] <ubotu> KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information.
[17:26] <Arelis> !kde-core
[17:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kde-core - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:26] <Arelis> (ii) kde -- This will install the following KDE packages: kde-amusements, kdeaccessibility, kdeaddons, kdeadmin, kdeartwork, kdegraphics, kdemultimedia, kdenetwork, kdepim, kdesdk, kdeutils, kdewebdev, kdevelop3 and the kde-core metapackage (see details below). <-- sounds like what i need
[17:27] <tekteen> Kubuntu-Gregg: type "cat <filename without 00#>* > test.avi"
[17:27] <u1> hi guy
[17:27] <brunatos> hi
[17:27] <bottiger> take a look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime?action=show&redirect=NTPTimeSynchronisation#head-ac6f1801d153ace57eb035524ce05d1955b8c243 should "/etc/cron.daily/ntpdate" really contain "*sudo* ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com" and not just "ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com" ?
[17:27] <tekteen> Kubuntu-Gregg: the star goes after the filename with no spaces
[17:27] <Kubuntu-Gregg> tekteen: how do i escape spaces in the file name?
[17:28] <tekteen> Kubuntu-Gregg: word\ word2
[17:28] <Kubuntu-Gregg> ok
[17:28] <tekteen> Kubuntu-Gregg: or "word word2"
[17:28] <Ramchan> have anyone tried  console based IRC client ?
[17:29] <Artimus> Ramchan: I used irssi for a while.  I missed Konversation eventually
[17:30] <Kubuntu-Gregg> tekteen: thanks - that works nicely
[17:30] <tekteen> Kubuntu-Gregg: did u play it?
[17:30] <Kubuntu-Gregg> yes
[17:30] <tekteen> Kubuntu-Gregg: cool
[17:30] <brunatos> nobody can help me with my broken system ??? i'm forced to use a livecd..... but i won't reinstal and loose all my files
[17:30] <Kubuntu-Gregg> thank you
[17:31] <tekteen> brunatos: u can backup /home
[17:31] <brunatos> i haven(t graphic mode
[17:31] <tekteen> brunatos: and for the future make a seperate /home partition
[17:31] <brunatos> the probleme was that i do a upgrade that it crash
[17:32] <brunatos> and dpkg is blocked
[17:32] <tekteen> brunatos: I never upgrade. the program has never once succeeded for me
[17:32] <brunatos> there is a bug in /var/lib/status file
[17:32] <brunatos> :'(
[17:32] <tekteen> brunatos: u have the live cd
[17:32] <tekteen> ?
[17:32] <brunatos> yep
[17:33] <brunatos> i run like that
[17:33] <tekteen> brunatos: use that to backup /home
[17:33] <brunatos> ok i'll try this for recup my home folder
[17:33] <tekteen> brunatos: to another drive/computer/usb stick
[17:33] <Arelis> (ii) kde -- This will install the following KDE packages: kde-amusements, kdeaccessibility, kdeaddons, kdeadmin, kdeartwork, kdegraphics, kdemultimedia, kdenetwork, kdepim, kdesdk, kdeutils, kdewebdev, kdevelop3 and the kde-core metapackage (see details below). <-- sounds like what i need. Is this the unmodified, original, KDE? With it's stableness included?
[17:34] <brunatos> but i've got an other question about graphics cards
[17:34] <tekteen> brunatos: what is it?
[17:34] <grignonf> salut kubuntu ;D  >> j'ai enfin reussit a l'installer  xD
[17:34] <brunatos> with the 7.10 the order of output of my graphics card change
[17:35] <brunatos> i'm obliged to connect on SVGA
[17:35] <pag> Arelis, it's metapackage that will pull everything that is developed under kde project - you can't have 'vanilla' kde as such, because kdelibs in the repos are patched alredy
[17:35] <brunatos> but dvi not work properly
[17:35] <tekteen> brunatos:? that sounds beyond me
[17:35] <pag> Arelis, though.. the KDE I have (which is the one from the repos) is rockstabel, so..
[17:35] <Arelis> pag: I mean, without the settings.. without dolphin, without konqueror being 'simplified'..
[17:36] <Arelis> I don't care about security patches.
[17:36] <pag> Arelis, just don't install kubuntu-default-settings, and you will probably be fine
[17:36]  * tekteen is going to lunch. I will be back soon :-)
[17:37] <Jodak> does anyone know any flash or java plugins that actually work for kubuntu 7.10?
[17:37] <jun> hi, i just installed kubuntu and im unable to surf via konqueror.
[17:37] <pag> Arelis, I didn't mead security patches - more like the shutdown dialogue and such
[17:37] <Arelis> pag: Shutdown dialogue is ok too.
[17:37] <jun> always keeps saying An error occurred while loading http://google.com:
[17:37] <pag> jun, disable knetworkmanager, if you're not using it
[17:38] <Arelis> pag: As long as it does not install strigi (or i can remove it), as long as it doesn't modify major decisions KDE makes..
[17:38] <Arelis> pag: But kubuntu-desktop pulls in kubuntu-default-settings right?
[17:39] <pag> Arelis, yup. but you always can " sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ; sudo apt-get remove dolphin kubuntu-default-settings stringi etc "
[17:39] <Arelis> does that actually remove the settings?
[17:39] <pag> Arelis, 'should'
[17:47] <shadowxp> How do you enable the Emerald/Compiz effects in KDE?
[17:48] <emilsedgh> !compiz | shadowxp
[17:48] <ubotu> shadowxp: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion

[18:54] <Arelis_> !flash > jpatrick
[18:54] <ugur_> it says : "bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument"
[18:54] <aram> i got problem with installing flash pleye
[18:54] <jpatrick> Arelis_: yes you did, at 19:51, and 52 UTC+1 ;)
[18:55] <Arelis_> jpatrick: huh? I think that was another person.
[18:55] <aram> player when i try to install it give me
[18:55] <aram> aram@aram:~$ sudo apt-get intstall 1.rpm
[18:55] <aram> E: Invalid operation intstal
[18:55] <Arelis_> Or it was in the #ubuntu channel
[18:55] <aram> what should i do
[18:56] <ugur_> aram is your kubuntu 64 bit?
[18:56] <aram> no
[18:56] <batis610> how can i read audio .ram files?
[18:56] <Arelis_> ugur_: you misspelled it
[18:56] <ugur_> it shoul be easy then
[18:57] <jpatrick> Arelis_: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3307/ hmm..
[18:57] <aram> ugur_: this is what the adobe web site says
[18:57] <aram> Click the "Download .rpm" link. A dialog box will appear asking you where to save the file.
[18:57] <aram> Save the .rpm file to your desktop and wait for the file to download completely.
[18:57] <aram> In terminal, navigate to the desktop and type # rpm -Uvh <rpm_package_file>. Click Enter. (Note: This must be done as a root user). The installer will instruct you to shut down your browser(s).
[18:57] <aram> Once the installation is complete, the plug-in will be installed in your Mozilla browser. To verify, launch Mozilla and choose Help > About Plug-ins from the browser menu.
[18:57] <Arelis_> oh, so it was here?
[18:57] <jpatrick> nm
[18:57] <ugur_> where is the misspell can you tell?
[18:57] <Arelis_> sorry, then.
[18:57] <Arelis_> ugur_: "intstall" should be "install"
[18:58] <aram> but when i try that it is not working and i use sudo get-ins.....but also it doesnt work any help please?
[18:58] <aram> ugur_: are u with me?
[18:58] <ugur_> yes

[18:59] <aram> Arelis_: ok what command shall i use
[18:59] <Arelis_> aram: search google for 'ubuntu rpm'
[19:00] <aram> Arelis_: i use kubuntu not ubuntu
[19:00] <jpatrick> !alien | aram
[19:00] <ubotu> aram: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[19:00] <Arelis_> aram: same.
[19:00] <jpatrick> aram: yep, it's exactly the same, apart from KDE/GNOME
[19:00] <ugur_> yes kubuntu uses .deb

[19:02] <ugur_> arelis did you look it up in ubuntuforums.org?
[19:02] <ugur_> mine is gutsy 64 so i cant help
[19:02] <ugur_> but i have read that it should be easy in 32 bit

[19:14] <TSK> Greetings, folks.  I was wondering...  I've got a laptop that's running the generic kernel and I was hoping there might be a laptop specific kernel available like some of the other distros I run.  Y'know, with all the acpi and all that laptoppy stuff compiled in by default.  :)  Anyone know where I might find that sorta thing, or a website which would cover that information?  Google's not finding much useful for me.
[19:16] <sd132> help, i am getting commit errors package breakage when updating kubuntu,how do i fix this
[19:16] <Alonea> is there an easy way to downgrade from gusty? or somewhere where they have the previous versions?
[19:18] <NickPresta> Alonea, I don't believe there is a support way to downgrade from Gutsy to Feisty
[19:19] <NickPresta> Alonea, you can, however, backup all your important information, and install Feisty via LiveCD. That is probably the safest way.
[19:19] <NickPresta> s/support/supported
[19:19] <Arelis_> Hi all. I've recently installed KDE, but Flash won't work.. 'nsviewerplugin' crashes when it tries to load. I've installed the fix from '!flash'. I've looked around on the 'net and found that the new version of Flash doesn't work on Konqueror, because of a different backend. How can i install the old flash player? Or should i just use Opera?
[19:19] <Alonea> NickPresta: figures. gusty is waaaaay too buggy for me. where can I get a feisty cd? I didn't see one on the site.
[19:20] <TSK> Arelis_: I have that same nsviewerplugin crash issue too.
[19:20] <Alonea> NickPresta: I have all my personal info on a separate partition (aka. "home"). I only have to reinstall root. ^__^.
[19:20] <Arelis_> TSK: Yeah, it's because of the new flash player.
[19:20] <NickPresta> Alonea, http://kubuntu.com/download.php find the correct mirror and change "gutsy" in the URI to "feisty".
[19:21] <aram> i want to install this 3 os :win xp ,win 2003 and ubuntu can any one help with order i mean which one istall first and then other...?
[19:21] <TSK> Arelis_: Lame.  What's worse is that the package manager tells me I have Firefox installed (which I'd prefer to use over Konq for web browsing) yet I cannot find it anywhere on the system, even with the 'find' command.
[19:21] <TSK> It's as if the package manager is confused...
[19:22] <NickPresta> aram, it is best to install Kubuntu last (as Windows will over write the bootloader installed by Kubuntu). I would suggest Win 2K3, Win XP, and then Kubuntu
[19:22] <Arelis_> TSK: just uninstall the package and reinstall.
[19:22] <Arelis_> TSK: i'm installing opera as a fix :)
[19:22] <Alonea> NickPresta: I am getting 404 not found errors. Is there a specific US mirror I should go for?
[19:22] <NickPresta> Alonea, try this (it is a fast mirror): http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/kubuntu/feisty/
[19:23] <aram> NickPresta: thanks a quistion is i have never used boot loader ubuntu is it good choise?
[19:24] <Alonea> NickPresta: there we go! thanks. I will try gusty again in a couple months. Give them time to make it more stable. I might even try a different flavor.
[19:24] <NickPresta> aram, GNU GRUB (referred to as GRUB mostly), is a bootloader for the system which allows a user to have several different OS on their computer at once. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRUB for more information. GRUB is installed with *buntu at install time.
[19:25] <NickPresta> Alonea, heh. Good luck to you.
[19:25] <Alonea> NickPresta: you too. have a good one.
[19:25] <TSK> GRUB is the best of the bootloaders I've tried so far.  I'm glad it's pretty much standard on most distros now.
[19:25] <aram> NickPresta: thanks now i understand
[19:26] <Arelis_> TSK: Hmm.. Opera doesn't support it either
[19:26] <TSK> Lame.  :(
[19:26] <TSK> I'm SURE Firefox will, but I gotta get Firefox up and running before that knowledge helps me any.  :)
[19:27] <TSK> Anyways...  Kernel upgrade...  Anyone know if there are alternate kernels available for Ubuntu besides the "generic" kernel that comes on the CD?
[19:27] <TSK> Ideally I'd like to find a "laptop" kernel if there's such a thing for Ubuntu/KUbuntu.  :)
[19:27] <NickPresta> TSK, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel
[19:28] <TSK> NickPresta: TYVM.  I'll pop over there now and see if that's something I've read before or if it's new to me.  I'm still pretty new to Kubuntu.  I'm normally a Mandriva user on my own system.  :)
[19:29] <NickPresta> TSK, no problem. Be sure to check out ubuntuforums.com. There is a good chance someone else has asked a question you have and there are usually good answers :)
[19:30] <TSK> NickPresta: Hmmm...  Hadn't yet come across that page you sent, but from what I see there, it looks like the only way to upgrade an Ubuntu kernel is to compile one from source?
[19:31] <TSK> NickPresta: Aye.  The Ubuntu forums have had some very helpful stuff re: some of the other issues I had getting this laptop up and rolling.  The ACPI is the last little issue I'm fighting with.  That is gonna require a kernel rebuild to get 100% functionality it's looking like.
[19:32] <NickPresta> TSK, well, if you feel that the included kernels aren't meant for you, you can compile your own, for sure. While it isn't a problem, compiling your own kernel means you have to do some leg work on your own and you have to remember to upgrade things like video drivers on your own. Check out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[19:32] <TSK> Bizarre that Ubuntu doesn't have a few flavors of common kernels like some other distros do.  At the very least it'd be nice if they supplied a kernel customized a little for the average laptop user.  :)
[19:34] <ugur_> aram you can manually adjust grub to boot from any of these os at any time but xp->2003->ubuntu is the correct order i assume
[19:34] <TSK> NickPresta: Aye.  I've compiled kernels in the past, but it's been a while since then.  I was just hoping it'd be easier than that, but it's looking like I'll be compiling tonight...  :)

[19:36] <Arelis_> TSK: I installed firefox beta 3... how can i remove it?
[19:36] <NickPresta> TSK, heh, okay. I can only assume that the reason behind having only a couple kernels, with generic being the main, is because that is what the majority of users need and anyone needing anything special probably needs the latest kernel so they would have to compile anyways. You could always ask in #ubuntu-devel if you're curious.
[19:36] <NickPresta> Arelis_, how did you install it?
[19:36] <Arelis_> NickPresta: some guide on the 'net
[19:37] <Arelis_> NickPresta: Had to do with copying to /usr/lib
[19:37] <TSK> Arelis_: Eeek.  I installed Firefox 3 beta once on my Mandriva and it mangled my Firefox 2 and I had to do some digging to clean it all up.  :(
[19:37] <NickPresta> Arelis_, well, you should be able to just delete the firefox 3 folder. Which guide did you use?
[19:38]  * TSK is waiting for Firefox 3 to get out of beta before installing it again.
[19:38] <Arelis_> NickPresta: Something someone on #ubuntu-offtopic gave me.
[19:39] <sigma_123> is there a kubuntu package for the firefly media server?
[19:39] <Arelis_> NickPresta: FOund it. http://www.topicalmatt.com/23-12-2007/firefox-3-beta-2-in-ubuntu-710
[19:39]  * TSK has captured the kernel build guide and will put that to use tonight.
[19:39] <TSK> TYVM, NickPresta.  I appreciate the pointers to the correct information, sir.  :)
[19:40] <NickPresta> Arelis_, run this in a terminal to remove Fx3: sudo rm /usr/bin/firefox-3.0 /usr/lib/firefox-3.0
[19:41] <NickPresta> Arelis_, that should remove the beta files and the symlink in /usr/bin.
[19:41] <NickPresta> TSK, no problem. That is what #kubuntu is here for
[19:41] <TSK> NickPresta: Aye.  I still appreciate it tho.  ;)

[19:42] <ugur_> bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
[19:42] <ugur_> enabled: 1
[19:42] <diagono> ah
[19:42] <Arelis_> NickPresta: it's still running..
[19:42] <diagono> sorry
[19:43] <diagono> can someone help me with my multiscreen?
[19:43] <Arelis_> NickPresta: and /usr/bin/firefox is still the beta
[19:43] <NickPresta> Arelis_, did you close Fx3?
[19:43] <Arelis_> NickPresta: yes, and killed it too.
[19:44] <NickPresta> Arelis_, silly me. Run this: rm -r /usr/lib/firefox-3.0
[19:44] <NickPresta> Arelis_, I forgot the -r switch for directories.
[19:45] <Arelis_> NickPresta: I deleted that. (Followed the guide's instructions, because yours didnt work). Still, firefox 3 is running
[19:45] <Arelis_> /usr/bin/firefox is firefox 3.0b's script
[19:45] <Arelis_> NickPresta: /usr/bin/firefox-3.0 doesn't exist
[19:46] <NickPresta> Arelis_, it should, according to that guide. You created a symlink of /usr/bin/firefox-3.0 to /usr/lib/firefox-3.0/firefox
[19:46] <crimsun> (/usr/lib/firefox-3.0-3.0b3pre in hardy)
[19:46] <Arelis_> NickPresta: read again.
[19:46] <crimsun> (presuming you're using the firefox-3.0 package in hardy)
[19:46] <Arelis_> sorry, my mistake
[19:46] <Arelis_> yes indeed
[19:47] <Arelis_> i think he has renewed his guide
[19:47] <NickPresta> Arelis_, ah okay. That explains the confusion :)
[19:48] <NickPresta> !xinerama | diagono
[19:48] <ubotu> diagono: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[19:49] <Arelis_> NickPresta: yep, he's renewed his guide. I used his old one, which overwrote the original firefox....
[19:49] <diagono> okey thx
[19:49] <diagono> will check it out
[19:50] <Arelis_> moz_libdir=/usr/local/lib/firefox-3.0b2 <-- aha.
[19:50] <Arelis_> hmm, no, wait.. doesn't exist
[19:50] <NickPresta> Arelis_, ah okay. That is rather silly of the author, to suggest overwriting your package manager's version with a beta. At any rate, manually remove any instances of firefox on your system and then install firefox via the repos. Try using `locate` to search for firefox3 stuff.
[19:51] <Arelis_> NickPresta: all traces of firefox should be removed?
[19:51] <Arelis_> /usr/lib/firefox and the like?
[19:51] <TSK> http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html <- Another useful tidbit re: kernel building on Ubuntu that I just came across.
[19:52] <NickPresta> Arelis_, yep. The package manager will reinstall all the appropriate files.
[19:53] <Arelis_> NickPresta: command 'firefox' not found (installed firefox via apt-get)
[19:53] <Arelis_> 'mozilla-firefox' neither
[19:53] <NickPresta> Arelis_, when you installed the beta, did you already have firefox from the repos installed?
[19:53] <Arelis_> NickPresta: yes
[19:54] <NickPresta> Arelis_, have you removed firefox via apt-get remove yet?
[19:54] <Arelis_> NickPresta: autoremove --purge
[19:54] <TSK> Aighty.  Thanky muchly, folks.  I'ma go see if I can successfully compile a laptop kernel for this beastie.  I'll catch you folks later.  :)
[19:54] <NickPresta> bye TSK
[19:54] <n6hgg> Arelis_: try Firefox with a capital F
[19:54] <TSK> Be well, all.  TY again NickPresta.
[19:54] <Arelis_> n6hgg: not found
[19:54] <n6hgg> okay
[19:55] <NickPresta> Arelis_, try: sudo apt-get purge firefox
[19:55] <Arelis_> NickPresta: autoremove --purge
[19:55] <Arelis_> NickPresta: i'd think autoremove --purge removes more than apt-get purge
[19:56] <Arelis_> NickPresta: But i did what you suggested. still not found.
[19:56] <Arelis_> The program 'firefox' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:sudo apt-get install firefoxbash: firefox: opdracht niet gevonden
[19:57] <adm> evening all
[19:57] <NickPresta> Arelis_, okay, did you install it as per the instructions?
[19:57] <NickPresta> adm, hi
[19:57] <kristian_> hi adm
[19:57] <Arelis_> NickPresta: The beta? yes, via the guide
[19:57] <NickPresta> Arelis_, no, I'm talking about firefox from the repos. You wanted to remove Firefox 3, didn't you?
[19:57] <adm> how are we all
[19:57] <nuxil> what do i need to do, to get tvout to work on my gforce 8800 gts card ? i have set the resolution to 800x600
[19:57] <Arelis_> NickPresta: yes.
[19:58] <Arelis_> NickPresta: which instructions?
[19:58] <nuxil> and i have also installed the nvtv + the newest drivers
[19:58] <NickPresta> Arelis_, sudo apt-get install firefox
[19:58] <Arelis_> NickPresta: yes i did.
[19:58] <Arelis_> Instellen van firefox (2.0.0.11+2nobinonly-0ubuntu0.7.10) ...Please restart any running Firefoxes, or you will experience problems.
[20:00] <adm> I want to connect though my windows machine to my linux machine.
[20:00] <Joelito> How, can I change the language of adept-manager language when Installing debian (netinstall) + KDE?
[20:00] <adm> I have installed ssh on the linux box but not sure of the next steps
[20:00] <NickPresta> Arelis_, so you have installed Firefox from the repos. but there is no /usr/lib/firefox?
[20:01] <adm> anyone able to provide some help
[20:01] <nuxil> !nvtv
[20:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nvtv - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:01] <Arelis_> NickPresta: only no /usr/bin/firefox
[20:01] <NickPresta> Arelis_, so if you type this in a terminal: /usr/lib/firefox/firefox What happens?
[20:02] <Arelis_> NickPresta: it works :D
[20:02] <NickPresta> Arelis_, okay, we're getting somewhere. Now we just need to symlink that to /usr/bin/firefox.
[20:02] <NickPresta> Arelis_: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
[20:03] <Arelis_> NickPresta: many thanks! :D
[20:04] <NickPresta> Arelis_, no problem
[20:04] <Arelis_> NickPresta: it's working again :)
[20:04] <Arelis_> NickPresta: you might want to post that to the internet. I'm sure many others have the same problem. Also, a symlink /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox also has to be created.
[20:06] <NickPresta> Arelis_, okay. I'm not sure about /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox though. I don't have it and the firefox package doesn't create /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox.
[20:07] <Arelis_> NickPresta: then firefox 3 did :)
[20:07] <NickPresta> :)
[20:10] <dice14u> hello anyone, I have a fresh install of kubuntu gutsy and it freezes every once and a while without warning
[20:11] <dice14u> the only thing i have changed is i used the propriatary fglrx drivers (but the freezing was prior to that fact)
[20:11] <sourcemaker> is there a youtube mozilla firefox plugin around ?
[20:12] <sourcemaker> dice14u: I have the same problem... I also do not know why...
[20:13] <dice14u> sourcemaker you mean a flash mozilla plugin? or something like
[20:13] <dice14u> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=youtube&status=4
[20:14] <dice14u> flashplugin-nonfree might work for you
[20:14] <dice14u> if it isn't a broken package
[20:14] <sourcemaker> dice14u: nice
[20:23] <corinth> I just finished installing kubuntu from gnome-terminal using "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop". Logging in, none of my desktop items are on the desktop, such as the default shortcuts to open my external media. How do I enable the desktop to show my icons?
[20:25] <corinth> Also, my volume + and - buttons worked without configuration in Ubuntu. Pushing up or down volume in my keyboard in Kubuntu only toggles the GUI between 0% and 11%, but it doesn't actually change the volume
[20:29] <Alonea> oh my...I think kubuntu knows I am going to get rid of it. it just got 5 times worse. I have had to reboot twice cause it just seems to crash or wont let me change to a different window.
[20:33] <jevon> anyone know where to find additional repositories for 7.10?

[21:32] <limac> u guys prefer intel or amd?
[21:34] <ardchoille> limac: The only person who is qualified to say which works best for you.. is you :)
[21:34] <limac> i don't know
[21:34] <limac> intel == too costly
[21:35] <limac> amd == resonable
[21:35] <dr_willis> sounds like you got your answer then.
[21:35] <jussi01> limac: If you are looking for discussion, #kubuntu-offtopic is the way to go. This is strictly Kubuntu support

[21:45] <Alonea> Dj_FlyBy: you probably will have to ndiswrapper it. Broadcom card?
[21:47] <shad-99> hi all
[21:47] <squarebottle> Hello.  I'm having trouble with Kubuntu blanking my screen after a while of perceived inactivity, which is a problem because it still does it when I'm trying to watch movies and stuff. The power save feature in kcontrol is disabled, the screensaver is disabled, and I've tried entering "xset -dpms" too, but it still blanks the screen. I know it's not the monitor itself doing it because the power light would switch from blue to ora
[21:47] <squarebottle> Any ideas?
[21:47] <shad-99> any one knows how to enable broadcom wireless wpa adapter on a dell inspiron 9100
[21:49] <shad-99> ok bye
[21:52] <Dj_FlyBy> Alonea: unlikely Broadcom (most likely a SiS integrated card - Its a laptop Acer Aspire 5004)

[22:15] <Arelis> Hi all. I've installed the 'kde' package, but it's FAR too many programs, and when i try to remove one, it wants to remove all of KDE. how can i remove some programs i don't need, without removing all of KDE?
[22:17] <NickPresta> Arelis, if you're referring to apt wanting to remove kubuntu-desktop, it is just a meta-package. You can remove it
[22:17] <Arelis> NickPresta: no, i'm talking about this:
[22:17] <Arelis> NickPresta:
[22:18] <Arelis> err
[22:18] <Arelis> NickPresta: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3311
[22:18] <yao_ziyuan> a usability question: is it just adept-manager that sometimes requires manual unlock of the package database or other package managers such as syneptic also have such a problem?
[22:18] <segfault2k> hi, someone has installed kde4 rc2 from kubuntu mirrors? ( http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php ), i've read the install howto, but i cant get kde4 running, it stuck at splash screen :(
[22:19] <NickPresta> Arelis, first, do a "sudo apt-get -s autoremove". See what it wants to remove.
[22:19] <Arelis> NickPresta: Nothing.
[22:20] <NickPresta> Arelis, that is strange. I don't know how to help you. I would wait and ask your question again later.
[22:21] <Arelis> NickPresta: it isn't meant to happen?
[22:21] <dubbydubby> i could try and help i just can't read that language
[22:21] <Arelis> dubbydubby: hold on
[22:21] <NickPresta> Arelis, I can remove individual parts of KDE without KDE being removed.
[22:22] <Arelis> dubbydubby: here ya go

[22:23] <Arelis> NickPresta: kubuntu-desktop or kde?
[22:23] <jussi01> !seen > segfault2k
[22:24] <segfault2k> danke jussi01
[22:24] <jussi01> :)
[22:24] <NickPresta> Arelis, default kubuntu install, so kubuntu-desktop, I assume
[22:24] <NickPresta> Arelis, what happens if you try to remove kde? Does it actually remove all those packages?
[22:24] <Arelis> NickPresta: THat's the difference, then. this is the 'kde' package
[22:24] <reza> I want install xfardic on kubuntu but cann't do this. anybody know why?
[22:25] <Arelis> NickPresta: yes, it does.
[22:25] <Arelis> I installed this with aptitude..
[22:25] <NickPresta> Arelis, hmm, strange. You could try asking in #kde. See if they can help you or if anyone there has a similar problem.
[22:25] <Arelis> and aptitude wants to do the same thing
[22:25] <fdoving> Arelis: that is because the 'kde' package depends on all modules of kde, if you install kubuntu-desktop, it only recommends those packages, so you will be able to remove them. this could be reported as an wishlist bug. making the depends recommends.
[22:26] <neversfelde|mobi> Hi, Has somebody experiences with KDE and funambol. Is it possible to sync KDEs pim with opensync?
[22:26] <Arelis> fdoving: so it is not fixable?
[22:26] <NickPresta> and there you have it, Arelis. fdoving to the rescue :)
[22:26] <Arelis> fdoving: I don't like kubuntu-desktop.
[22:26] <fdoving> Arelis: everything is fixable.
[22:27] <Arelis> fdoving: will you assist me, please? :)
[22:28] <dice14u> you can remove the binary and the link
[22:28] <dice14u> Arelis you have ubuntu and then you also installed the kubuntu desktop?

[22:29] <fdoving> Arelis: ok. i'll just have to install something with a bunch of depends. hang on.
[22:29] <Arelis> dice14u: I have Ubuntu, then installed the 'kde' package.
[22:29] <Arelis> not kubuntu-desktop
[22:30] <NickPresta> !it | UsThEre
[22:30] <ubotu> UsThEre: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[22:31] <UsThEre> oh, scusa :-S
[22:32] <fdoving> Arelis: ok, first, run: dpkg -P kde <list of packages you want to remove>
[22:32] <fdoving> Arelis: in my example: 'dpkg -P kde kcalc ksim'
[22:33] <Arelis> fdoving: it removed the kde package..
[22:33] <fdoving> it should.
[22:33] <fdoving> it also removed the packages you wanted to remove, right?
[22:33] <fdoving> but nothing else, except the kde package?
[22:33] <dice14u> he wants to keep kde but remove just the prog
[22:33] <Arelis> fdoving: not really... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3313/
[22:34] <dice14u> and it is showing them as un-needed
[22:34] <fdoving> Arelis: kde package isn't installed? - you need to remove kdenetwork too.
[22:34] <damianos> hi
[22:34] <fdoving> Arelis: 'dpkg -P kde kdenetwork ksirc'
[22:35] <damianos> is it possible to reencode sound in divix movie
[22:35] <Arelis> fdoving: it worked! it's gone!
[22:35] <Arelis> !installkde
[22:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about installkde - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:35] <fdoving> Arelis: hang on.
[22:35] <Arelis> !kde
[22:35] <ubotu> KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information.
[22:35] <fdoving> Arelis: there is more.
[22:35] <damianos> I have standalone dvd player which is able to read divix movie from usb
[22:35] <damianos> but in this movie is used strande audio codec
[22:35] <Arelis> fdoving: should i do it with these, too?:
[22:35] <Arelis> .. stupid paste
[22:36] <Arelis> kde-amusements, kdeaccessibility, kdeaddons, kdeadmin, kdeartwork, kdegraphics, kdemultimedia, kdenetwork, kdepim, kdesdk, kdeutils, kdewebdev, kdevelop3
[22:36] <damianos> is mencoder is able to do it ?
[22:36] <fdoving> Arelis: if you want to remove a package they depend on, yes. they are meta-packages, that means empty packages that depend on a bunch of real packages that contains programs.
[22:36] <fdoving> and docs etc.
[22:36] <Dr_Willis> strande audio codec ? Or you mean a strange unknown codec?
[22:37] <fdoving> Arelis: when you'
[22:37] <damianos> I mean I can see video but I can not hear audio on dvd player
[22:37] <Dr_Willis> You may want to try to convert the movie/audio to use divx and mp3 for audio.
[22:37] <fdoving> Arelis: are finished with the dpkg -P part.. tell me. you need to do more to make the rest stay during dist-upgrades.
[22:37] <Dr_Willis> or check the players docs to see what it can play. Id hope it canhandle the mp3 codec.
[22:37] <damianos> Ok, how to do it, via mencoder ?
[22:37] <Dr_Willis> I tend to use avidmux,
[22:38] <Arelis> fdoving: uh-oh... how to fix that, then?
[22:38] <dice14u> !flashplugin-nonfree
[22:38] <damianos> Dr_Willis standard one is able to read this is the first movie without sound
[22:38] <Arelis> isn't it better to just install kubuntu-desktop?
[22:38] <fdoving> Arelis: now, you have a bunch of packages that apt-get/aptitude wants to remove. you can get the list with the command 'apt-get autoremove' , make sure to press 'n' when it asks you if you want ro remove or not. you don't want that.
[22:39] <Dr_Willis> I tend to install Kubuntu-desktop, Ubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop, mythubuntu-desktop. and... err.. not sure about that last one.. :)
[22:39] <fdoving> Arelis: what you want. is to take the list of packages and cut/paste it into a textfile, save it somewhere. tell me when you've done that.
[22:39] <Dr_Willis> fdoving:  :) been there done that befor. Aptitude decided to remove 400 pacckages once on me.
[22:40] <Arelis> fdoving: done.
[22:41] <fdoving> Arelis: ok, now run 'sudo apt-mark unmarkauto $(cat path/to/file.txt)
[22:41] <fdoving> Arelis: where you replace path/to/file.txt with the real path to your file containing the packagelist.
[22:41] <Arelis> fdoving: done.
[22:42] <fdoving> Arelis: then run 'apt-get autoremove' again, does it list any packages for removal?
[22:42] <Arelis> fdoving: nope.
[22:42] <fdoving> Arelis: then you're done.
[22:42] <Arelis> fdoving: what if i get a new package that it wants to autoremove?
[22:42] <fdoving> Arelis: 'apt-mark unmarkauto <list of packages separated by spaces>'
[22:42] <Arelis> fdoving: also, can you please pastebin this conversation (i have limited utilities now) so i can store this fix?
[22:45] <Arelis> fdoving: and i think this is really not worth it. Tomorrow, i'm going to remove what i installed now, and install kubuntu-desktop, then remove dolphin and strigi. How can i make the autoremove work again?
[22:46] <fdoving> Arelis: just don't delete the packagelist-file. then use 'apt-mark markauto $(cat file.txt)'

[22:47] <mauri> hi guys, why kaffeine is not able to choose a movie languages or subtitles?
[22:47] <Arelis> fdoving: Thank you. I'm going to bed now. Wow, the people in here know much more about the core of ubuntu than the people in.. #ubuntu
[22:48] <fdoving> Arelis: g'nite.
[22:48] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. Im in BOTH  channels.. so what does that mean? :)
[22:48] <Dr_Willis> I know more when im in here.. then when im in there?
[22:48] <fdoving> i'm only here :)
[22:48] <Arelis> Dr_Willis: You're experienced :P
[22:48] <Arelis> bye
[22:48] <Arelis> night all :
[22:48] <Arelis> :)
[22:48] <Arelis> thanks for the fix, fdoving `
[22:49] <Dr_Willis> Im amazed at the weird and strange things people try to get their ubuntu/kubuntu systems to do../worring about  trivial stuff. :) I bet the #OSX room dont have people trying to do half the things i see in #ubuntu :)
[22:49]  * Dr_Willis wonders if OS-X even HAS themes...
[22:52] <wagner> hello
[22:52] <fdoving> Dr_Willis: you can change languages and some colors. afaik :)
[22:52] <Dr_Willis> fdoving:  Ill refrain from ranting about OSX :P
[22:53] <fdoving> Dr_Willis: a friend of mine got his first macbook some time ago, and was extremely impressed that he didn't need to restart to change language :)
[22:53] <fdoving> restart/re-install.
[22:53] <Dr_Willis> heh.
[22:54] <Dr_Willis> ive been seeing way too many badly done comaprisons of Ubuntu and OS-X - Seems everyone is just out gunning for Ubuntu now a days.
[22:54] <Dr_Willis> Hysterical predictions of doom and gloom.. since there Might be some changes to 'LTS' when Most people done even understand what LTS means.. and so forth.
[22:55] <ardchoille> !ot
[22:55] <ubotu> #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!
[22:55] <Dr_Willis> Is there any Other Disrtos the even have the same 'idea/method as LTS?" Ubuntu is the only oen ive ever heard the term used. :)
[22:55] <Dr_Willis> At lesat im not ranting about OSX - but discussing Ubuntu specifc terms.  heh heh.
[22:55] <fdoving> Dr_Willis: it's just a sign that ubuntu is getting popular. it's a good thing :)
[22:56] <NickPresta> Dr_Willis, Debian Stable is an LTS ;)
[22:59] <pm2> Hi - I'm using Fiesty, trying to get a bluetooth adapter working.  When I plug it in, a message pops up from the "KDE Bluetooth Framework" saying, "Failed to connect to the SDP server.  Please make sure that sdpd is running; without it, other devices will not be able to find out which services your computer offers."
[22:59] <pm2> Any idea how to fix this?
[23:00] <Dr_Willis> I recall having to install some extra bluetooth related packages  when using feisty. But i dont rember their names

[23:14] <rick_> Hi all
[23:15] <rick_> Anybody have any solution for KdeprintFax problem?
[23:16] <stdin> mauri: we're doing a svn snapshot right now to see how the upgrade will probably go. as soon as the official kde4 sources are released expect to just be able to update (but you may have to remove the older version first, we can't say for sure)
[23:17] <mauri> stdin: perfect I understand. Just a question. what is svn? (sorry for the stupid question)
[23:18] <NickPresta> !svn | mauri
[23:18] <ubotu> mauri: svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/
[23:18] <stdin> svn is the revision control system the KDE project used to allow it's developers to collaborate on the code
[23:18] <dubbydubby> hey anyone im having a problem with the nspluginwrapper saying it cannot find a suitable viewer.

[23:26] <dubbydubby> someone know anything about when an official flash fix will be out?
[23:26] <LinuxReign> no idea about that, should be soon thou
[23:27] <danny> is there something that would break konqueror and amarok in subtle little ways and not be fixed by installing the kubuntu metapackages and removing .kde ?
[23:28] <maybeway36> try reinstalling konqueror and amarok maybe
[23:28] <maybeway36> weord
[23:28] <maybeway36> you tried rm -r .kde
[23:28] <dubbydubby> run amarok in terminal and see what errors pop up
[23:32] <LinuxReign> have u guys tried hardy?
[23:34] <danny> LinuxReign: isn't ther a kubuntu+1 channel for that?
[23:35] <jpatrick> LinuxReign: try #ubuntu+1
[23:35] <danny> dubbydubby: no errors
[23:36] <dubbydubby> danny whats not working on it then?
[23:39] <downix> grr, can't get a java game to run
[23:41] <danny> dubbydubby: the search in the top-right of konqueror is missing, that's the main thing
[23:41] <nuxil> Does anyone got time to help me get the tvout-put to work? in nvidia-settings everything seems fine, but my tv dosent show anything. i tried with several options. twinview. clone etc.been restarting the X server and and the pc 1000 times now.

[23:44] <karim> hi aLL
[23:47] <karim> help me
[23:48] <stdin> !ask
[23:48] <ubotu> 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. :-)
[23:49] <e-uoaphys> hi guys, on this page: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php it has improper instructions. It took me about a week to get it working using those directions but finally got it
[23:49] <e-uoaphys> the instructions (or maybe the packages are broken) never tell you how to get "KDE 4" into your GDM or KDM login screen as an option
[23:49] <e-uoaphys> so you install all the packages, and there is no way to get into KDE4 from there
[23:50] <e-uoaphys> any ideas?
[23:50] <etm26> exit
[23:51] <stdin> e-uoaphys: the reason it doesn't tell you is because it's done automatically
[23:52] <e-uoaphys> stdin: then the packages must be broken.. cos it doesn't add a "KDE 4" option to a vanila Ubuntu installation of 7.10
[23:53] <e-uoaphys> now, when i went to the RC1 instructions previously released, and manually edit the file to show "KDE 4" and copy over the system default file, then it shows up... (took me about a week to find that out)
[23:53] <stdin> the packages are fine, hundreds have tested them, if the file /usr/share/xsessions/kde4.desktop exists then it's not us
[23:53] <downix> ya know, ubuntu's package issues are driving me batty
[23:53] <karim> so How I can do to save the lists of sources of origin?
[23:54] <downix> some things are on the ball, others are out of date
[23:54] <e-uoaphys> stdin: then maybe ubuntu isn't looking there
[23:54] <supermacro> Hi all, does anyone know how I can keep one program always in a particular workspace? For example I want Kopete to be in workspace 4, and firefox in workspace 1 everytime I open them.
[23:54] <stdin> e-uoaphys: it should, if not then it's a bug in GDM
[23:55] <e-uoaphys> stdin: I went ahead and installed kubuntu desktop just to get KDM and all the stuff for kubuntu, just to make sure
[23:55] <e-uoaphys> and then ran KDM (kde3 kdm)
[23:55] <e-uoaphys> still no kde 4
[23:55] <stdin> supermacro: right-click the title bar->Advanced->Special Application Settings...-> Desktop
[23:55] <downix> like Ubuntu now is telling me that it has to remove dpkg
[23:56] <downix> for some reason, I don't think that is a smart idea
[23:56] <e-uoaphys> stdin: im not 100% positive cos now my machine is fixed, but from what I could tell the kde4.desktop file was never created in /usr/share/xsessions, because once I copied it over to there, and changed the word "KDE" to "KDE 4" it started working (as per RC1 instruction page)
[23:57] <stdin> e-uoaphys: all display managers look in /usr/share/xsessions/ for the sessions available, sometimes it requires a restart of the display manager to see it (didn't for me) but that's where it looks
[23:57] <e-uoaphys> i used ctrl alt BKSP to get it to reset, and even rebooted the system
[23:57] <stdin> I'm looking at the .deb now, and it is there
[23:57] <e-uoaphys> hmm
[23:58] <e-uoaphys> which package is supposed to copy that over?
[23:58] <supermacro> thx a lot! that works
[23:58] <e-uoaphys> # kdebase-bin
[23:58] <e-uoaphys> # Install kdebase-workspace kdebase-kde4 kdebase-runtime
[23:58] <e-uoaphys> those are the ones I installed
[23:58] <stdin> kdebase-workspace-data (installed with kdebase-workspace)
[23:59] <e-uoaphys> yea, i uninstalled it all and reinstalled it twice before I started digging into file editing
[23:59] <e-uoaphys> stdin: having compiz installed shouldn't hurt it should it?
[23:59] <karim> who are french??
[23:59] <e-uoaphys> compiz installed under GNOME
