secleinteerhi, can anyone help me with dpi issues when installing the nvidia driver?02:20
ilya_nosrednaekim: I know..02:20
nosrednaekimsecleinteer: when installing it?02:20
secleinteernosrednaekim: after installing it02:20
secleinteerall the fonts are larger than they should be02:20
nosrednaekimsecleinteer: even in KDE? or just KDM02:21
secleinteernosrednaekim: in both, i believe. definitely in kde02:22
ilya_nosrednaekim: all what I can to find that it is "ENE PCI Secure Digital Card Reader Controller" but anything more02:22
nosrednaekimilya_: lshw says its a ENE technology CB-71202:22
secleinteernosrednaekim: when i uninstall the driver, the fonts are the correct size02:22
amgestyjust try change the font?in the desktop setting02:22
nosrednaekimsecleinteer: hmm, I don't know anything about nvidia's sorry02:22
secleinteernosrednaekim: thanks for the help02:23
secleinteeramgesty: there are more problems than just font size, so just changing the fonts wouldn't help02:23
nosrednaekimsecleinteer: there is a setting kcontrol for font dpi02:23
ilya_nosrednaekim: and one more question. Do you try compiz ? It's work normal on 5051 ?02:24
secleinteernosrednaekim: i know, i tried it, but it didn't change anything. i installed using the driver from nvidia's site, so i'm about to try installing through the restricted manager02:24
nosrednaekimilya_: works great with the new ATI drivers (7.12)02:24
nosrednaekimilya_: I actually have a 5050.... you do have Xpress1100 graphics right?02:25
pacmanI have a question about mounting hard drives02:25
ilya_nosrednaekim: yes02:25
ilya_nosrednaekim: can you give me a manual ? )02:25
nosrednaekimilya_: well, its pretty simple...I can step you though it.02:25
pacmanI mounted a 2nd drive that has windows on it, so I can drop some files onto it, but it won't let me...and it won't let me change the permissions, either02:25
ilya_nosrednaekim: it would be great !02:26
BluesKajsecleinteer, make sure you uninstall the proprietary nvidia driver first02:26
secleinteerBluesKaj: how do i do that?02:26
ilya_nosrednaekim: I have allready install new ATI drivers but there are some bugs02:26
nosrednaekimilya_: ok, first you need to disable the included fglrx kernel driver...02:26
nosrednaekimilya_: like which type?02:26
BluesKajsecleinteer, what is the file extension on the download from nvidia ?02:27
secleinteerBluesKaj: .run02:27
ilya_nosrednaekim: after hour of work there are bugs with cursor and screen. It's look like a small copy of my screen under cursor and in the right bottom conner02:28
nosrednaekimilya_: yeah...I occasionally get that as well.02:28
BluesKajok secleinteer there should be afolder in the same dir named "nvidia ...something" look in there for file that says "uninstall"02:28
nosrednaekimthough its reallyjust a bunch of static02:29
secleinteerBluesKaj: you mean in the local directory that i have the .run in?02:29
BluesKajyes02:29
secleinteerBluesKaj: that's the only file i have in the local dir02:30
mith__are there any way to get my IrDa work?02:30
BluesKajsecleinteer, so you didn't actually install the downloaded driver02:30
ilya_nosrednaekim: ok. let's get back to man plz02:30
secleinteerBluesKaj: i'm not even sure if it's still installed, because i installed from the package manager manually, using sudo apt-get install, and then using the restricted drivers manager, and uninstalled that too02:30
ilya_nosrednaekim: *manual02:31
secleinteerBluesKaj: right now when i load kde, it doesn't have graphics support02:31
secleinteerBluesKaj: but could there be residue on my system?02:31
secleinteerBluesKaj: that's what i'm trying to remove02:31
nosrednaekimilya_: which version of ATI drivers did you install?02:31
ilya_nosrednaekim: 7.1302:31
amgestyrun: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg   then reconfigure again02:31
nosrednaekim.13 is out?02:32
nosrednaekimwait... .13 is impossible..lol02:32
ilya_nosrednaekim: wait02:32
ilya_nosrednaekim: I'll check now02:32
BluesKajsecleinteer, then you need to do a ' sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ' and choose the vesa driver (you can try nvidia if it's listed) so you can back to the desktop at least02:32
secleinteerBluesKaj: i've got x loading using vesa, so that's not a problem02:33
BluesKajgood02:33
secleinteerBluesKaj: but are there any files i should get rid of?02:33
secleinteeri like to keep my system clean02:33
ilya_nosrednaekim: realy02:34
ilya_nosrednaekim: 7.12 )))02:34
BluesKajseclhow did you install the nvidia .run file02:34
BluesKajsecleinteer?02:34
nosrednaekimilya_: so whats not working (besides the cursor bug)02:35
amgestyi had try apt-get oncemore,but it did'nt work,then i download the driver from the nvidia website,and it work02:35
secleinteerBluesKaj: i did 'sh *.run' without x running02:35
ilya_nosrednaekim: all working, but i can't to configure and start the compize02:36
nosrednaekimilya_: ah.... right... fglrx is not a whitelisted driver,one sec while I find the command02:36
ilya_nosrednaekim: yes02:36
nosrednaekimilya_: run "mkdir -p ~/.config/compiz; echo SKIP_CHECKS=yes >> ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager"02:37
sFEARshow do i boot into safe mode if it's not an option in grub?02:38
ilya_nosrednaekim: thanks02:38
BluesKajsecleinteer, and there is no nvidia folder in the /home dir ?02:39
nosrednaekimilya_: that work?02:39
ilya_nosrednaekim: and at the last... How to configure compiz to show system buttons in window's menu ?02:40
ilya_nosrednaekim: yeah... It's work ! thanks02:40
secleinteerBluesKaj: no, there isn't02:41
nosredna_ekimilya_: did that work?02:41
ilya_nosrednaekim: yes02:42
nosredna_ekimilya_: sweet.02:43
ilya_nosrednaekim: when I run compiz the effects took place, but the buttons such as maximaze close and minimize disposed....02:43
ilya_nosrednaekim: sorry for my bad english )02:43
nosredna_ekimilya_: run "sudo apt-get install emerald"02:43
ilya_nosrednaekim: allready done02:44
nosredna_ekimthen run "compiz --replace && emerald --replace"02:44
stdinnosredna_ekim: that would run emerald _after_ compiz exits successfully02:45

BluesKajthat's pretty drastic02:51

limacI enable compiz to test it out, I like it but my graphics car is sort of basic, so I want to get out of compiz, how can i do that?02:52

tzdI'm trying to update a "tar.gz" file with a newer file from dir X,  e.g: tar -uvzf x.tar.gz /dir/test.doc  What am I doing wrong?09:32
vltHello. I got a load of "1.00 1.00 1.00" on a nearly idle machine. This is a vmstat line "1  0   7776  79244   7980  82032    0    0     0    12 1793   735  0  0 100  0". How can I find out what causes this suspicious exact load of 1.00?09:32
Roy_Mvlt: have you read http://gd4.tuwien.ac.at/.vhost/linuxcommand.org/man_pages/vmstat8.html09:33
Roy_MI think that it probably is only showing up when you do your top09:33
vltRoy_M: Yes, I've read it. What do you mean "do your top"?09:35
se7en!top09:36
ubotuSorry, I don't know anything about top - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi09:36
ActionParsniphi all09:36
Roy_Mvlt: how are you getting the cpu load. I presume you are using "top"?09:36
vltRoy_M: Yes, `top` or a line > 1st from `vmstat 1`09:37
Roy_Mvlt: Ok what I think is happening is that when you run top, it it invoking vmstat which is supposed to provide statistics from vmware. I donot thik this process is running all the time and I donot think that it is malicous09:39
lingardqparted won't let me resize a windows partition stating it is busy09:39
ActionParsnipvlt, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-find-out-linux-cpu-utilization.html09:40
ActionParsniplingard, is it mounted?09:40
lingardit is09:41
lingardas far as i'm aware09:41
lingardis that bad?09:41
ActionParsniplingard, it needs to be unmounted to do stuff like that09:42
xakaI have NFS resource. Can i mount it by click on icon? Same as for cdrom or USB devices?09:42
ActionParsniplingard, make sure you backup all your data from your partition so if it goes wrong you dont lose your porn09:42
lingardits only vista on the prtition, so noting to worry about09:43
lingardhow do i unmount using the terminal?09:43
ActionParsniplingard, id reinstall vista with a smaller partition and leave the space for kubuntu unallocated09:43
ActionParsniplingard, sudo umount /path/to/mount/folder09:44
lingardvista's on a seperate drive09:44
ActionParsniplingard, ok i see. you want space for data i'm guessing rather than OS09:44
lingardno no, i want to install another os09:46
kirkwith vlc the movies are real jumpy09:46
kirklike... jitterly09:46
lingardvista won't boot after i installed kubuntu (not an issue at all :]) but i want a windows os still to transfer the files to before expanding the partiton to the whole disk09:47
lingardso the terminal command should look like sudo unmount /media/sbd1?09:48
ActionParsniplingard, you may need to add the vista entry to your grub config09:48
ActionParsniplingard, sounds cool to me09:48
llutzlingard: umount, not unmount09:48
lingardi'm pretty much sick of vista09:49
lingardit comes up not found09:49
tzdI'm trying to update a "tar.gz" file with a newer file from dir X,  e.g: tar -uvzf x.tar.gz /dir/test.doc  What am I doing wrong?09:49
ActionParsniplingard, everyone is, its absolute garbage. WinME is better09:49
lingardthough thats the path to the files on the drive09:49
lingardits cost me a fortune in new hardware09:49
ActionParsniplingard, did you have xp before?09:50
lingardi did09:50
ActionParsniplingard, was it ok?09:50
lingardit was fine09:50
lingardno hastle at all09:50
ActionParsniplingard, then why install vista?09:50
vltActionParsnip: Ok, I installed "sysstat" from your link and ran `iostat` but it doesn't tell me what's causing the 1.00 load, just that there's hardly disk io.09:51
vltAny idea?09:51
lingardi was testing it out :)09:51
lingardi really think mcrosoft should have added the option to downgrade vista09:51
ActionParsniplingard, I hope to god you didnt pay for it09:51
lingardnot at all09:51
lingardi have it on my laptop and its fine on there09:52
ActionParsnipvlt, do you mean 100% load?09:52
vltActionParsnip: Yes, I got a load of "1.00 1.00 1.00" for hours now but the machine is nearly idle.09:52
ActionParsnipvlt, is the system running badly?09:53
vltActionParsnip: No, all services seem to work and respond normally.09:54
ActionParsnipvlt, can we have a pastebin of your top output please09:54
tzdI'm trying to update a "tar.gz" file with a newer file from dir X,  e.g: tar -uvzf x.tar.gz /dir/test.doc  What am I doing wrong?09:56

lingardis the memory test on the live CD supposed to take over 2 hours?09:59
ActionParsniplingard, depends how much ram you have10:01

yao_ziyuani think for western users kubuntu has already been doing that (killing windows)10:21

ubotuyao_ziyuan: #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!10:22
yao_ziyuanbut for east asian users, you have to install their input methods by default in order to enable their migration10:22
yao_ziyuanit does include a support issue10:23
jussi01yao_ziyuan: please state your question clearly ;)10:23

yao_ziyuanrelevant keywords: skim, scim, pinyin (for chinese users)10:24
yao_ziyuanit seems ubuntu supports east asian input method installation and configuration more easily than kubuntu10:25
yao_ziyuanmostly because gnome and kde uses different interfaces for working with input method engines10:25
yao_ziyuanfor KDE, it's SKIM10:25
jussi01yao_ziyuan: please file a bug, if you have a support question please ask.10:26
fdovingyao_ziyuan: new contributors are always welcome. as most developers work on things they care about we would need some one caring about those things in order to get it fixed.10:26
yao_ziyuanthe general problem is that kubuntu (more specifically, kde) does not support installing and configuring east asian input methods very well10:27
fdovingyao_ziyuan: kde is a very open project, feel free to contribute. :)10:28
yao_ziyuani don't really know if it's kde's or kubuntu's responsibility to make it easier10:28
yao_ziyuanmaybe kde is only responsible for providing all the components10:28
yao_ziyuanand kubuntu is responsible for wrapping up kde functionality with a user-friendly interface10:29
lingardwow, it takes a while to transfer 74gb10:32
yao_ziyuanwell,10:34
yao_ziyuanlet me tell you the easy way10:34
yao_ziyuanthere is a package 'fcitx'10:34
yao_ziyuanwhich is a chinese pinyin input method10:34
yao_ziyuanit's more robust and easier to set up10:34
yao_ziyuanshould consider it an alternative for a chinese user requesting to install chinese input capability10:35

fdovingyao_ziyuan: you should make it a bugreport at bugs.ubuntu.com10:39

xushiksmoothdock's parabolic mode messes up its background during the zooming.. and there's no transparency from what i see12:11
xushinm the transparency,, it's the parabolic zoom that's problematic12:13

ActionParsnipubuntu_, on the live cd first boot there is no password. if you type passwd you can set one12:34
xushijussi01: excellent, thanks, gonna check it out now12:34
gladierit isnt asking for the root pass .. its asking for YOUR pass because the root password is currently infinitely complex12:34
ubuntu__i'm logged in as ubuntu12:34
ActionParsnipubuntu__, there is no root pass, you use your own to give you power12:34
ubuntu__i'm tryinf to su root12:34
ActionParsnipubuntu__, there isnt even a root account on your syste at present12:35
gladierubuntu__: sudo12:35
ubuntu__ok12:35
ardchoilleActionParsnip: There is a root account, it's just locked12:35
ubuntu__i see12:35
gladierinfinitely complex :)12:35
ActionParsnipubuntu__, you type sudo for cli commands (cp, mv, apt-get etc) and kdesu for graphical apps (like kate)12:35
ubuntu__ah12:36
ActionParsnipubuntu__, this will allow the app you run to have full power. you dont need root12:36
ubuntu__btw, theres a problem with the monitor & display module12:36
ubuntu__it says it couldnt be loaded12:36
ubuntu__because libpython not found12:37
ubuntu__all the other modules work fine12:38

firecrotchnicoduck:  and what was the problem?13:31
nicoduckthe ./configure always quits with "configure: error: *** libqtpod >= 0.4.1 not found."13:32
nicoduckand that is strange13:32
nicoduckI downloaded the libqtpod package from sourceforge (version 9.4.2)13:32
nicoduckand compiled it13:32
nicoduckit created /libqtpod and filled it with some data13:33
nicoduckbut ipodslave quits with the same error as efore13:33
firecrotchperhaps you need to pass some kind of argument to ./configure to tell it where you have libqtpod installed13:33
nicoduckand that's ma problem13:34
nicoduckdo you think that is a kind of an error "g++ -c -pipe -Wall -W -O2 -D_REENTRANT  -DQT3_SUPPORT -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -DQT_SHARED -DQT_TABLET_SUPPORT -I/usr/share/qt3/mkspecs/default -I. -I../src -I/usr/include/qt3 -o ipodtest.o ipodtest.cpp"13:34

nicoduckit quits with "unknown Tag found! stop parsing"13:41
nicoduckI think it's because apple changed the ipod database and the 0.7.3 version of ipodslave is unable to read and parse it13:42
nicoduckolder ipods are working (e.g. the 5th gen video)13:43
firecrotchthat sounds reasonable13:43
nicoduckjep13:43
nicoduckbut I'm not good enough in scripting to find out y myself in wich path the script is searching for libqtpod13:47
pagksal, as any other variable... export WHATEVER=something13:48
firecrotchnicoduck:  I'm taking a look at the configure script right now13:51

icewatermanIT_Officer: is blender capable of multithreading?14:55
icewatermani am not sure about that14:55
icewatermanif it is, it will be ok, once you have an smp kernel running. if it doesnt support multithreading, a 100 more processors is not going to give you any benefit over a single processor architecture14:56
IT_Officericewaterman, ah.. what a shame if it does not..15:03
IT_Officericewaterman, i will check on it. Does the dvd have a smp kernel 0n it ?15:04
icewatermanIT_Officer: blender was some 3d rendering software, right?15:04
IT_Officericewaterman, Its a 3d desinging and animation software15:04
icewatermanIT_Officer: this article says http://wbs.nsf.tc/articles/article8_e.html15:05
icewatermanit can do 2 threads15:05
icewatermanthat means 2 processors will be used. however that article is kinda old, maybe newer versions can do better15:05

VampireKinghow to open rar file with password ?19:04
Dr_willisVampireKing,  i think you might best use 'winrar.exe' and wine for that.19:07

Dr_willisThere are one-time-use password systems that you can use. Ive seen articals on them19:16
Dr_willisBut never used any of those.19:17
linxabut, in my servers, there are many users that change the password more than twice19:17
Dr_willisNow you are gettint more clear on what you want..19:17
Dr_willisbut im still not sure why this is a problem for the users.19:17
BluesKajseezer, my experience with rar is to extract within the folder 'extract here' in other words. Choosing hust one file will fully extract the iso or img file ..some img files balk at being burned on K3B but , sometimes just changing the .img  to .iso will work since all the correct iso info is already in the file19:18
Dr_willisa read of the passwd command man pages..has some options you may want to look into.19:19
Dr_willisSet the minimum number of days between password changes to MIN_DAYS. A value of zero for this field indicates that the user may change19:19
Dr_willis           his/her password at any time.19:19

th1hi, I have Kubuntu 7.10, and I use knetworkmanager to log into a WPA-Personal wlan.. is there a way to do it from the System level so it connects to the network before I login?22:21
sub[t]rnlalbankillapi➜ check ifconfig, or if your wanting information on your wireless device, iwconfig, and see if it has been assigned an ip22:21
ilyathe problem is that the cardreader don't visible22:21
ilyawhen I put a card in it - there are no activicy (22:21
geniiilya: Do you mean a card reader that reads the stripe or smart chip of a card, or a card reader which you put removable media like sdcards or so on22:22
albankillapisub[t]rnl It's solved!!! thanks you very much22:22

geniith1: Make some entry for the interface in the file /etc/network/interfaces22:26
geniith1: Anything you can pass to the interface by iwconfig at commadline can be used there22:27
