[00:37] problems with grafic mode [00:37] ah [00:38] i believe you need to change /etc/apt/sources.list to point to Gutsy, instead of Edgy [00:38] and then you run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [00:39] i THINK [00:39] iirc, upgrading like that will cause the user to miss out on apps that are new to Gutsy but didn't exist in Feisty [00:39] !upgrade | luisdaniel (see the server upgrade for doing it from the shell) [00:39] luisdaniel (see the server upgrade for doing it from the shell): For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [00:39] That simply upgrades all the "currently installed" apps [00:39] stdin: Ah, thanks [00:39] stdin, ardchoille, I'm not sure, but looking at the steps at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades would a server install work from the command line if done on the desktop?

[01:17] yeah, i don't like dolphin, either [01:18] d3lphin != dolphin [01:18] stdin, what's with the d3lphin spelling ? [01:19] i've seen the version in kubuntu.. and screenshots of kde 4.. [01:19] because it's the kde3 version [01:19] d3lphin is ported back to kde3 from kde4, so it's a bit messy [01:19] I don't get why this suddenly stopped working [01:20] now, I have no KDE desktop and I can't access my Linux fs in Windopes [01:21] 3 is 3 and e is e or o is o ...the sticking of a number in a name is too chatsilly for my taste ...it reeks of trying too hard to be cool [01:21] BluesKaj: it's just to differentiate the 2 code bases [01:22] stdin, no matter :) === stdin changed the topic of #kubuntu to: Official Kubuntu support | FAQ: http://wiki.kubuntu.org/CommonQuestions | Kubuntu CDs! https://shipit.kubuntu.org | Pastes: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | OT in #kubuntu-offtopic please | KDE 4.0 SVN Package & RC2 LiveCD http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php | Tutorials Day logs at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuTutorialsDay | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken [01:22] It keeps telling me the disk is not formated and asks me if I format it [01:23] is there any other software available that enbles one to lount a linux fs from within windows?

[02:25] I have a question about mounting hard drives [02:25] nosrednaekim: yes [02:25] nosrednaekim: can you give me a manual ? ) [02:25] ilya_: well, its pretty simple...I can step you though it. [02:25] I 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, either [02:26] nosrednaekim: it would be great ! [02:26] secleinteer, make sure you uninstall the proprietary nvidia driver first [02:26] BluesKaj: how do i do that? [02:26] nosrednaekim: I have allready install new ATI drivers but there are some bugs [02:26] ilya_: ok, first you need to disable the included fglrx kernel driver... [02:26] ilya_: like which type? [02:27] secleinteer, what is the file extension on the download from nvidia ? [02:27] BluesKaj: .run [02:28] 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 conner [02:28] ilya_: yeah...I occasionally get that as well. [02:28] ok secleinteer there should be afolder in the same dir named "nvidia ...something" look in there for file that says "uninstall" [02:29] though its reallyjust a bunch of static [02:29] BluesKaj: you mean in the local directory that i have the .run in? [02:29] yes [02:30] BluesKaj: that's the only file i have in the local dir [02:30] are there any way to get my IrDa work? [02:30] secleinteer, so you didn't actually install the downloaded driver [02:30] nosrednaekim: ok. let's get back to man plz [02:30] BluesKaj: 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 too [02:31] nosrednaekim: *manual [02:31] BluesKaj: right now when i load kde, it doesn't have graphics support [02:31] BluesKaj: but could there be residue on my system? [02:31] BluesKaj: that's what i'm trying to remove [02:31] ilya_: which version of ATI drivers did you install? [02:31] nosrednaekim: 7.13 [02:31] run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg then reconfigure again [02:32] .13 is out? [02:32] wait... .13 is impossible..lol [02:32] nosrednaekim: wait [02:32] nosrednaekim: I'll check now [02:32] secleinteer, 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 least [02:33] BluesKaj: i've got x loading using vesa, so that's not a problem [02:33] good [02:33] BluesKaj: but are there any files i should get rid of? [02:33] i like to keep my system clean [02:34] nosrednaekim: realy [02:34] nosrednaekim: 7.12 ))) [02:34] seclhow did you install the nvidia .run file [02:34] secleinteer? [02:35] ilya_: so whats not working (besides the cursor bug) [02:35] i had try apt-get oncemore,but it did'nt work,then i download the driver from the nvidia website,and it work [02:35] BluesKaj: i did 'sh *.run' without x running [02:36] nosrednaekim: all working, but i can't to configure and start the compize [02:36] ilya_: ah.... right... fglrx is not a whitelisted driver,one sec while I find the command [02:36] nosrednaekim: yes [02:37] ilya_: run "mkdir -p ~/.config/compiz; echo SKIP_CHECKS=yes >> ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager" [02:38] how do i boot into safe mode if it's not an option in grub? [02:38] nosrednaekim: thanks [02:39] secleinteer, and there is no nvidia folder in the /home dir ? [02:39] ilya_: that work? [02:40] nosrednaekim: and at the last... How to configure compiz to show system buttons in window's menu ? [02:40] nosrednaekim: yeah... It's work ! thanks [02:41] BluesKaj: no, there isn't [02:41] ilya_: did that work? [02:42] nosrednaekim: yes [02:43] ilya_: sweet. [02:43] nosrednaekim: when I run compiz the effects took place, but the buttons such as maximaze close and minimize disposed.... [02:43] nosrednaekim: sorry for my bad english ) [02:43] ilya_: run "sudo apt-get install emerald" [02:44] nosrednaekim: allready done [02:44] then run "compiz --replace && emerald --replace" [02:45] nosredna_ekim: that would run emerald _after_ compiz exits successfully [02:45] stdin: yeah... but compiz always exits successfully. [02:46] or at least it should othewise he has a different problem [02:46] ok secleinteer try setting up the restricted driver in system settings/advanced/restricted driver admin mode [02:47] nosredna_ekim: no [02:47] nosredna_ekim: don't help [02:47] BluesKaj: i did that and restarted, and nothing happened [02:47] ilya_: ask in #compiz-fusion.... I need to go. [02:47] BluesKaj: when i run glxgears, i don't get anything [02:47] still no good [02:47] ubuntu__: :( [02:48] join #compiz-fusion [02:48] defrag didn't help... but it took awhile [02:48] secleinteer, prolly cuz your previous install of the proprietary driver is still loading / working [02:48] are there any way to get my IrDa work? [02:48] ubuntu__: sorry,I need to go.. [02:48] BluesKaj: so how would i undo that? [02:48] ok [02:49] BluesKaj: i think i'm going to reinstall [02:49] secleinteer, find the dir of the nvidia folder with the ./uninstall script in it [02:50] BluesKaj: ok, i'll try reinstalling and then uninstalling again [02:51] that's pretty drastic [02:51] BluesKaj: no, no, i was going to reinstall, but i'll first try reinstalling and uninstalling the nvidia proprietary driver [02:52] I 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] how can you uninstall it if you don't know which dir it's installed to ? [02:53] BluesKaj: no, i'm going to reinstall the driver first [02:53] and then i can look for it [02:55] an help? [02:55] *any [02:55] BluesKaj: ok, i'm having problems with that too, i'll just reinstall. i have a separate /home directory anyway, and no important files on it yet [02:56] 'm trying to install Gutsy, but I cannot get past the "Loading Linux Kernel" screen on both the Boot CD and the Alternate CD. I have used the "noapic" and "nolapic" options also. What else can I do? How can I see where it is failing?

In component main, is optional.

[05:06] se7en: I'm confused [05:06] i set option metamode to 1600x1200.. but it still used the defualt 1024x768 [05:07] di you comment out all other modes ? [05:07] ardchoille: the menu shortcut was probably designed for gnome nt kde [05:07] you mean under the sub section/modes? [05:08] ardchoille: Trying to run Tomboy on KDE, using Kmenu, does nothing. Tomboy doesn't start nor does it produce any error messages. Running tomboy from konsole works fine however. To fix this, just edit the Tomboy entry in Kmenu --> Utilities --> Tomboy (right-click) --> Edit item Now in 'KDE Menu Editor', just change the 'Command' line from 'tomboy --search' to 'tomboy' only and save it. [05:08] yeah. make a backup first of course [05:08] i didn't.. i will try that [05:08] but delete all the modes other than the one you want [05:08] will try [05:08] make sure you know the monitor supports the resolution, or you can cook it [05:09] se7en: Ah, ok. I don't use tomboy, I use basket :) [05:10] didn't work.. same thing [05:10] i have an extended screen displayed.. but everything is really choppy & pixely [05:12] howdy [05:14] hi [05:15] ok that reconfiguration did not work [05:17] it got to the part where it asks about the number of colors, then it broke out of the configuration utility into a command shell [05:17] never actually rewrote the xorg.conf file [05:20] ardchoille [05:23] have they come out with a way to have an animated background yet? [05:24] snarkster: It's possible to use a screensaver as your background... [05:24] it is? can you explain how? [05:25] gotta love Arizona this time of year. [05:25] Well, I've never tried it on Kubuntu, tried it on Ubuntu and it works [05:26] http://blog.prashanthellina.com/2007/08/22/matrix-desktop/ That ought to get you started [05:26] basically you have to disable whatever is drawing your current desktop, and set xscreensaver to draw on the root window [05:27] has anybody ever had to reconfigure the xserver? [05:27] using the util in kubuntu [05:27] ? [05:28] this is 2 days now that my computer's been almost unusable [05:28] jalbert: what kind of problem are you having?

I do have KDE so im not sure if itll work [05:36] why would moving files on my ext3 filesystem, from one folder in a partition to another on that same partition, actually /move/ the files? Its moving like 9GB into the same harddrive. [05:36] jalbert: are there any errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

[05:39] don't worry about it [05:39] it's not important [05:39] (my query, that is) [05:39] would help if i have xscreensaver installed. LOL [05:40] does anyone know of a script which tars up many files into many neat little 4.3GB packages? [05:40] the script would need all the locations of the files [05:41] hey maduser [05:41] did it work? [05:41] nope [05:41] probably bring my little ancient laptop to its knees.. [05:41] I tried to reconfigure it, but the configuration utility broke out into a command shell, like 3/4-way through [05:41] Im installing it now, gimme just a second [05:41] it got to the part where it asks about the number of colors, then it broke out of the configuration utility into a command shell [05:42] never actually rewrote the xorg.conf file [05:43] hmm how do i undo this if it kills kde? LOL [05:43] that's what happened to me [05:44] I was installing some video editor software [05:44] jalbert: boot into recovery mode and try to reconfigure it with dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [05:44] hmm guess i learn what broke and try to make it work [05:44] it had a lot of dependencies [05:44] -phigh?

How can I find out what causes this suspicious exact load of 1.00? [09:33] vlt: have you read http://gd4.tuwien.ac.at/.vhost/linuxcommand.org/man_pages/vmstat8.html [09:33] I think that it probably is only showing up when you do your top [09:35] Roy_M: Yes, I've read it. What do you mean "do your top"? [09:36] !top [09:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about top - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:36] hi all [09:36] vlt: how are you getting the cpu load. I presume you are using "top"? [09:37] Roy_M: Yes, `top` or a line > 1st from `vmstat 1` [09:39] vlt: 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 malicous [09:39] qparted won't let me resize a windows partition stating it is busy [09:40] vlt, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-find-out-linux-cpu-utilization.html [09:40] lingard, is it mounted? [09:41] it is [09:41] as far as i'm aware [09:41] is that bad? [09:42] lingard, it needs to be unmounted to do stuff like that [09:42] I have NFS resource. Can i mount it by click on icon? Same as for cdrom or USB devices? [09:42] lingard, make sure you backup all your data from your partition so if it goes wrong you dont lose your porn [09:43] its only vista on the prtition, so noting to worry about [09:43] how do i unmount using the terminal? [09:43] lingard, id reinstall vista with a smaller partition and leave the space for kubuntu unallocated [09:44] lingard, sudo umount /path/to/mount/folder [09:44] vista's on a seperate drive [09:44] lingard, ok i see. you want space for data i'm guessing rather than OS [09:46] no no, i want to install another os [09:46] with vlc the movies are real jumpy [09:46] like... jitterly [09:47] vista 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 disk [09:48] so the terminal command should look like sudo unmount /media/sbd1? [09:48] lingard, you may need to add the vista entry to your grub config [09:48] lingard, sounds cool to me [09:48] lingard: umount, not unmount [09:49] i'm pretty much sick of vista [09:49] it comes up not found [09:49] I'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] lingard, everyone is, its absolute garbage. WinME is better [09:49] though thats the path to the files on the drive [09:49] its cost me a fortune in new hardware [09:50] lingard, did you have xp before? [09:50] i did [09:50] lingard, was it ok? [09:50] it was fine [09:50] no hastle at all [09:50] lingard, then why install vista? [09:51] ActionParsnip: 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] Any idea? [09:51] i was testing it out :) [09:51] i really think mcrosoft should have added the option to downgrade vista [09:51] lingard, I hope to god you didnt pay for it [09:51] not at all [09:52] i have it on my laptop and its fine on there [09:52] vlt, do you mean 100% load?

[09:54] ActionParsnip: No, all services seem to work and respond normally. [09:54] vlt, can we have a pastebin of your top output please [09:56] I'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? [09:57] tzd, http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-applications/388-updating-tar-gz-file.html [09:58] ActionParsnip: great thanks! Tried finding something about it googling the command without any luck. Knew i could count on a legend like yourself :) [09:59] is the memory test on the live CD supposed to take over 2 hours? [10:01] lingard, depends how much ram you have [10:01] ActionParsnip: output of `top`: http://pastebin.ca/844996 [10:01] lingard, it takes more time to test 1gb than 256Mb [10:01] with vlc the movie is jumpy [10:02] its only about 380 or something [10:02] are you streaming kirk? [10:02] .iso will play fine with vlc but not all with kaffeine [10:02] no [10:02] extract the iso [10:02] nahhhhhh [10:02] is the file on dvd or your hdd? [10:03] hd [10:03] vlt, looks like you have 6 users connected [10:03] all these movies play perfectly on my other computer [10:03] using kaffeine [10:03] vlt, Cpu(s): 0.3% us [10:03] does it have the latest version of kaffeine? [10:03] yes [10:04] kirk, have you mounted the iso or just told kaffeine to play it? [10:04] i play it straight off my external like always [10:05] never any problems [10:05] until now.... [10:05] oh you mean you have burned the iso to a blank media and playing it in a dvd player hooked up to a tv [10:05] ?? [10:05] no [10:05] i just want the movie to play on my computer [10:05] ok [10:05] i have an s video cable i hook this computer up to my plasma [10:06] kirk, ok i see now [10:06] on my office computer everything plays now [10:06] i just move the external hd back n forth when watching movies [10:06] kirk, is the settings for the plasma right (refresh rate / resolution) [10:06] its hooked up to a reg monitor now [10:07] but wont even play movies with kaffeine, wont play any isos i have [10:07] I drug it in here to download codecs [10:07] thought that might be the prob [10:07] kirk, its a good port of call [10:08] No plugin found to handle this resource (//media/500gb/movies/blood_diamond.iso) [10:08] when i tried to play with kaffeine ^ [10:09] kirk, try mounting the iso first then tell kaffeine to play the folder [10:09] kirk, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-512698.html [10:09] i think my pc's talking to me in morse code :-S [10:10] kirk, xine dvd:/path/to/your/DVD/image.iso [10:10] lingard, wassup? [10:10] u definitely do NOT have to burn it. my other computer plays it as an iso [10:11] qparted says somethings not yet suported [10:11] i'll just copy every thing to this hdd and format the whole of the other one [10:12] kirk, try vlc. it might be ok [10:12] man... i just want it to work like my other computer does... [10:12] it plays with vlc, but jitters [10:12] is there a way to clone a hard drive with kubuntu? [10:13] kirk, mplayer? [10:13] ill try it [10:13] ActionParsnip: Ok, and what does that tell me ("6 users connected")? Where to look for the 1.00 load's reason? [10:13] i really like kaffeine the best [10:13] when it works [10:14] i like windows media centre :D [10:14] vlt, just my half ass analysis of your output. Looks like it but maybe someone else can verify [10:14] lingard, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/clone-your-ubuntu-installation.html [10:15] lingard, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-copy-clone-hard-disk/ is better, use dd [10:15] i'd try that if i were you kirk [10:15] if all else fails [10:15] i like puppy linux / kubuntu [10:16] you think its possible to install onto a udb stick? [10:16] *usb [10:17] wow [10:17] i just tried to play a .iso and it took me to the login screen [10:19] lingard, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-5151.html [10:20] do you guys sometimes think of that you're really gonna kick bill gates' ass? [10:20] s/think of that/think [10:21] i think for western users kubuntu has already been doing that (killing windows) [10:22] !ot | yao_ziyuan [10:22] yao_ziyuan: #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [10:22] but for east asian users, you have to install their input methods by default in order to enable their migration [10:23] it does include a support issue [10:23] yao_ziyuan: please state your question clearly ;) [10:23] put straight, automatically install input methods for an east asian user when he indicates his locale during installation [10:24] !bug | yao_ziyuan [10:24] yao_ziyuan: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [10:24] relevant keywords: skim, scim, pinyin (for chinese users) [10:25] it seems ubuntu supports east asian input method installation and configuration more easily than kubuntu [10:25] mostly because gnome and kde uses different interfaces for working with input method engines [10:25] for KDE, it's SKIM [10:26] yao_ziyuan: please file a bug, if you have a support question please ask. [10:26] yao_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. [10:27] the general problem is that kubuntu (more specifically, kde) does not support installing and configuring east asian input methods very well [10:28] yao_ziyuan: kde is a very open project, feel free to contribute. :) [10:28] i don't really know if it's kde's or kubuntu's responsibility to make it easier [10:28] maybe kde is only responsible for providing all the components [10:29] and kubuntu is responsible for wrapping up kde functionality with a user-friendly interface [10:32] wow, it takes a while to transfer 74gb [10:34] well, [10:34] let me tell you the easy way [10:34] there is a package 'fcitx' [10:34] which is a chinese pinyin input method [10:34] it's more robust and easier to set up [10:35] should consider it an alternative for a chinese user requesting to install chinese input capability === Harold is now known as HHarry [10:39] yao_ziyuan: you should make it a bugreport at bugs.ubuntu.com [10:40] i think maybe i'm wrong [10:40] kubuntu's Add/Remove Programs is supposed to be the easiest interface to install something, isn't it? [10:40] yao_ziyuan: just supply as much detail as you can at the bugtracker and we'll see :) [10:41] Now that xorg7.3 is being used in Hardy, will it then finally be possible to connect an external monitor to my laptop and obtain an "extended desktop" (i.e. not a desktop clone) without having to manually edit xorg.conf? In Gutsy, doing this is practically impossible for non-geeks. :-( === _czessi is now known as Czessi [10:53] the hardy alpha 2 is it usefull? [10:54] depends what you consider useful [10:54] to a developer/tester it is useful [10:54] but to others it might not be [10:54] ubuntu: its alpha, there are bugs, but it can of course be used. please direct further questions to #ubuntu+1 [10:55] yeah but its stable ( i mean stablere then vista ) [10:55] ubuntu: no [10:55] not stable [10:55] ubuntu: use gutsy. [10:56] nope going try hardy pre [10:56] of course it's more stable than vista :) [10:56] ubuntu: it needs testers though. if you're not afraid of bugs, and willing to report them, please test :) [10:56] where can i report them?

[11:02] onishidato: what does df -h say [11:02] onishidato, check your disk space usage [11:04] ardchoille: see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/2007-December/002066.html [11:04] if it doesn't? [11:04] Instead, due to the very high interest, development [11:04] efforts will be directed towards KDE 4 and releasing Kubuntu 8.04 with [11:04] the option of using either KDE 3.5 or KDE 4.

[11:06] dappermuis: Right, Hardy will have kde4 as an "option", but it won't be the default desktop. [11:06] HHarry, this is my second operation system, that prob happened with my 1st operation, so i can't try it now:) [11:06] onishidato, boot to the system with issues and log in at command line [11:07] ardchoille: yes, but I also remember reading somewhere that kde4 will be the default and 3.5 will be the option - it was a blog post, let me see if I can find it [11:08] dappermuis: It's not important, the post from Riddell is what to expect :) [11:08] so, if that, how can i get your support......:( [11:08] onishidato: you might want to install irssi a comand line chat too [11:08] onishidato, write / memorise the steps [11:08] ardchoille: see http://mhb.ath.cx/blog/kubuntu/frequently-asked-questions/ [11:08] dappermuis: http://people.ubuntuwire.com/~jpatrick/minutes/kubuntu-meeting-20071222.pdf [11:09] it will be stupid to not set kde4 as default because only so they got a brand new look what they got now is a other window styl [11:09] irssi?

[11:59] never mind... /usr/bin... [11:59] kubuntu's GUI is nicer [11:59] exit [12:00] ubuntu__: it is - just involves a little bit of fiddling [12:00] ok [12:00] !make-jpkg [12:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about make-jpkg - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:00] grr ...

[12:02] whats the default admin password [12:02] i'm just confused to this ksmoothdoc's output [12:04] xushi, whats it say? [12:11] nevermind, i just tried from another user, and it worked.. but it looks and acts horrible! i'm thinking of trying kooldock next [12:11] ksmoothdock's parabolic mode messes up its background during the zooming.. and there's no transparency from what i see [12:13] nm the transparency,, it's the parabolic zoom that's problematic [12:13] ubuntu_: you still here? [12:14] yes [12:15] ubuntu__: the admin password is your password [12:15] ah, try everything but that, thanks [12:15] np [12:16] "your password" yes [12:16] xushi, i'd try kiba-dock. i used it when i was playing with eyecandy but it was a phase [12:21] ubuntu__: huh? [12:22] ubuntu__: what are you trying to do (I was afk) [12:22] hehe, will do ActionParsnip [12:23] xushi: i still strongly recomend avant [12:24] i'm trying them all now tbh, and ye[ i'll also try avant too [12:24] just try to configure monitor setup for dual [12:24] ubuntu__: and your pass. did not work for the admin pass? [12:25] i did not set a pass [12:25] ubuntu__: what are you trying to achieve? [12:25] lower res on the 2nd monitor [12:25] its out of range at the moment [12:25] k .. so your trying to do something as root? via sudo, su or kdesu?? [12:26] gladier: I think the button in system settings (kdesu) [12:26] yeah sys settings [12:26] hello .. i installed openoffice 2.3 but cannot see any symbols, instead only the text like "new" "open" "print directly" , "bold" ... any Idea how to install symbols ?

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. [12:49] maybe it is not a kde but an ttf-opensymbol prob ? [12:51] ubuntu__, why? The dvd is mounted at a different point [12:51] ok i see [12:52] so the apps are running from the ram disk and not directly from the dvd ? [12:52] sort of [12:52] ok understand now [12:53] the dvd has a squashfs - this is mounted as a loop device, and any changes made are just temporarily stored in memory [12:53] ah [13:03] toolbarbuttons in ooffice 2.3 still lost - where can they be ?

[13:32] the ./configure always quits with "configure: error: *** libqtpod >= 0.4.1 not found." [13:32] and that is strange [13:32] I downloaded the libqtpod package from sourceforge (version 9.4.2) [13:32] and compiled it [13:33] it created /libqtpod and filled it with some data [13:33] but ipodslave quits with the same error as efore [13:33] perhaps you need to pass some kind of argument to ./configure to tell it where you have libqtpod installed [13:34] and that's ma problem [13:34] do 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] pls....how to set default aplications for some type of files?

[13:38] i need to compile something :) [13:41] it quits with "unknown Tag found! stop parsing" [13:42] I think it's because apple changed the ipod database and the 0.7.3 version of ipodslave is unable to read and parse it [13:43] older ipods are working (e.g. the 5th gen video) [13:43] that sounds reasonable [13:43] jep [13:47] but I'm not good enough in scripting to find out y myself in wich path the script is searching for libqtpod [13:48] ksal, as any other variable... export WHATEVER=something [13:51] nicoduck: I'm taking a look at the configure script right now [13:51] ok, thanks [13:55] nicoduck: it looks to me (not an expert here) as if it's just looking in your $PATH [13:55] ok [14:14] hmm, ut copying the /libqtpod to a dir named in $PATH doesn't help as well [14:16] nicoduck - pastebin the error message again please [14:17] the same error as above [14:17] "configure: error: *** libqtpod >= 0.4.1 not found." === why is now known as sbucat [14:17] (to short for pastebin ;-) [14:18] echo $path [14:19] hmm [14:19] echo #PATH [14:19] echo $PATH ** [14:20] /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [14:20] I copied /libqtpod to /usr/local/sbin/libqtpod [14:21] and the same error occured again [14:21] shouldn't libraries go into /usr/shared/lib or something.. === jasmin__ is now known as dhq [14:32] hm, now i disabled aiglx [14:32] however now googleearth wont work accelerated at all [14:33] direct rendering is still enabled but googleearth only wants to do opengl software emulation [14:36] I could i get kubuntu on a 8 core pc ?

[14:38] IT_Officer: yes, but what would you want that for? such boxes are usually servers. and if you want to use kubuntu up to your machines potential you will need to use an smp kernel === qolo is now known as robot_jesus [14:39] hhhhiiiiiii === dhq is now known as jasmin_ [14:49] icewaterman, sorry, ok, i will be using it for blender..

[14:55] i am not sure about that [14:56] if 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 architecture [15:03] icewaterman, ah.. what a shame if it does not.. [15:04] icewaterman, i will check on it. Does the dvd have a smp kernel 0n it ? [15:04] IT_Officer: blender was some 3d rendering software, right? [15:04] icewaterman, Its a 3d desinging and animation software [15:05] IT_Officer: this article says http://wbs.nsf.tc/articles/article8_e.html [15:05] it can do 2 threads [15:05] that means 2 processors will be used. however that article is kinda old, maybe newer versions can do better [15:07] however as 8 processor boxes are quite rare it may very well be that it will still be limited to 2-4 processors (dunno) [15:07] how do i delete a cached kde session so it starts fresh on reboot?

[19:17] but, in my servers, there are many users that change the password more than twice [19:17] Now you are gettint more clear on what you want.. [19:17] but im still not sure why this is a problem for the users. [19:18] seezer, 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 file [19:19] a read of the passwd command man pages..has some options you may want to look into. [19:19] Set the minimum number of days between password changes to MIN_DAYS. A value of zero for this field indicates that the user may change [19:19] his/her password at any time.

[21:19] I make changes to boot options quite a bit, never use update-grub though [21:20] if you change # defoptions=quiet nosplash nofb to be # defoptions=quiet nosplash nofb SOMTHING ELSE , You need to rerun update-grub to get the changes appled to the all the kernels.
