[00:09] <master_> ach so
[00:09] <Demonho-br> hello
[00:09] <joh6nn> it's cool guys, he's asking there.  he's just politely finishing up the convo here
[00:09] <master_> na ja dann werd ich mal bei den deutschen vorbeischauen
[00:09] <Demonho-br> where can i ask about kubuntu kde4 rc2 ?
[00:10] <joh6nn> viel gluck
[00:10] <master_> danke
[00:10] <Demonho-br> here ?
[00:10] <Demonho-br> hello ? someone running kde4 ?
[00:11] <joh6nn> Demonho-br: dunno, what's your question?
[00:11] <ScottG> what is a CLI command to move the contents of /home/home to /home  ? :)
[00:11] <joh6nn> ScottG: what've you got in /home/home?
[00:12] <ScottG> all my /home stuff that I just moved :)
[00:12] <ScottG> can't boot
[00:12] <joh6nn> heh
[00:13] <joh6nn> whoops
[00:13] <joh6nn> mv should work fine
[00:13] <ardchoille> Going to need sudo for that mv as /home is owned by root
[00:13] <joh6nn> a good point
[00:13] <ScottG> right.. but not sure of the syntax to move all from /home/home to /home
[00:14] <yamal> ScottG: your /home empty except for the /home/home dir?
[00:14] <ScottG> yes
[00:14] <Demonho-br> joh6nn, well i installed the kubuntu with kde4 rc2
[00:14] <joh6nn> ok
[00:14] <Demonho-br> joh6nn, but my internet is wireless .. i didnt find anyplace to configure it
[00:14] <joh6nn> ah
[00:14] <Demonho-br> please, save my life
[00:14] <ScottG> mine first :)
[00:14] <Demonho-br> lol
[00:15] <Demonho-br> ok scott first
[00:15] <ScottG> I'm on Mandriva.. :)
[00:15] <ScottG> on the laptop.. battery dying :)
[00:15] <joh6nn> ScottG: "sudo mv /home/home/* /home" would work, i think
[00:15] <ScottG> need.. to.. boo.. Kubuntu :)
[00:15] <ScottG> ok
[00:15] <ScottG> boot
[00:15] <ScottG> ok
[00:16] <AddyK-W32> Hello can someone tell me the fastest sorting algorithm for many elements/entries?
[00:16] <Demonho-br> joh6nn, now my time.
[00:16] <Demonho-br> do u know how to configure the wireless there ?
[00:16] <crimsun> AddyK-W32: em, we need /much/ more info.
[00:16] <joh6nn> not offhand, and i'm still on gutsy
[00:16] <Demonho-br> joh6nn, in my ubuntu, i see that thing.. restricted drivers.. so i can use and configure it. but in kde..
[00:17] <Demonho-br> joh6nn, but that kde4 is gutsy
[00:17] <Demonho-br> =\
[00:17] <Demonho-br> hmmm
[00:17] <joh6nn> but if i had to guess, i'd say that if you run systemsettings and go to the advanced tab, you should see the same restricted drivers thing
[00:17] <Demonho-br> maybe u dont have the kde4 :P
[00:17] <AddyK-W32> crimsun: Graph Colouring using Genetic Algorithms 2800 entries with 40 elements each
[00:17] <Demonho-br> there is no place
[00:17] <AddyK-W32> 2800 entries to sort
[00:18] <crimsun> AddyK-W32: you're better asking in -offtopic
[00:18] <AddyK-W32> I need to know the fastest for larger number of elements...
[00:18] <joh6nn> Demonho-br: no, i'm not on KDE4; i'm on normal gutsy
[00:18] <crimsun> AddyK-W32: (and still, need more info, e.g., what's the initial state?)
[00:18] <Demonho-br> i see
[00:18] <AddyK-W32> crimsun: can I PM? :D
[00:18] <crimsun> AddyK-W32: I'm fairly busy ATM, sorry.
[00:19] <joh6nn> Demonho-br: if you hit alt-f2, and run systemsettings, there's no advanced tab?
[00:19]  * chull smiles
[00:19] <AddyK-W32> No probs :) thanks :)
[00:19] <Demonho-br> joh6nn, i dont know.. i can try later
[00:19] <coreymon77> hi everybody
[00:19] <coreymon77> im back!
[00:19] <Demonho-br> joh6nn, because i need to know first how to configure
[00:19] <Demonho-br> =\
[00:19] <Demonho-br> or i will not boot my kubuntu kde4
[00:19] <Demonho-br> :D
[00:19] <djwilcox> hi having a bit of grief with mysql
[00:19] <Demonho-br> systemsettings
[00:19] <joh6nn> systemsettings should get you to the network configuration, too
[00:19] <chull> my husband was having trouble opening his KOrganizer after upgrading to Gutsy. we downloaded a new KOrganizer.. but how is it SUPPOSED to open?
[00:19] <chull>  my husband needs to use the calendar function
[00:19] <Demonho-br> joh6nn, there must show me restricted drivers ?
[00:19] <Demonho-br> alright
[00:20] <joh6nn> i don't know; what's your wireless chipset?
[00:20] <djwilcox> mysql_install_db doesnt work anyone got any tips
[00:20] <Demonho-br> for while i will look for more information
[00:20] <Demonho-br> joh6nn, i have an Inter 3945ABG
[00:20] <Demonho-br> yeah. not an Atheros
[00:20] <Demonho-br> =\
[00:20] <djwilcox> cannot install tables
[00:20] <joh6nn> er. hmm
[00:20] <joh6nn> no idea if you need a restricted driver, then
[00:20] <Demonho-br> it is not working in pc-bsd too
[00:20] <Demonho-br> joh6nn, in ubuntu gutsy i needed
[00:20] <Demonho-br> gnome rox ! :D
[00:20] <segfault2k> :S!
[00:21] <joh6nn> then you'd need it
[00:21] <segfault2k> Demonho-br, dont flame :B
[00:21] <Demonho-br> joh6nn, and how to install programs ? i didnt find synaptic too
[00:21] <Demonho-br> segfault2k, lol.. i love gnome
[00:21] <shaffy> can anyone tell me of an offline (i.e. does not require the internet) dictionary?
[00:21] <Demonho-br> but i think i will love kde4 too
[00:21] <djwilcox> edited /etc/mysql/my.conf and commented out bind adress
[00:22] <joh6nn> Demonho-br: there should be something labeled Add & Remove programs in the start menu
[00:22] <Demonho-br> joh6nn, i had read something about adept  or something like it
[00:22] <joh6nn> or k-menu, if you're a purist
[00:22] <joh6nn> yep, adept
[00:22] <Demonho-br> joh6nn, hmm
[00:22] <Demonho-br> joh6nn, first my internet needs to be working
[00:22] <Demonho-br> dang
[00:22] <ScottG> ok.. it won't boot.. saying no write access..
[00:22] <Demonho-br> Im being a newbie
[00:22] <joh6nn> i think the specific command you need is "adept_installer"
[00:23] <Demonho-br> adept_installer
[00:23] <Demonho-br> alright
[00:23] <Demonho-br> i will look now
[00:23] <Demonho-br> :D
[00:23] <Demonho-br> thanks
[00:23] <joh6nn> no problem
[00:24] <ardchoille> ScottG: Check the ownership/permissions of $HOME
[00:24] <djwilcox> anyone else got problems with mysql
[00:25] <djwilcox> cant install  mysql tables
[00:25] <ScottG> ok
[00:25] <NickPresta> djwilcox, what exactly is wrong with your installation of mysql?
[00:25] <joh6nn> djwilcox: i'm having some DB troubles at the moment, but i can't guarantee that they're mysql related, since i don't know what i'm doing
[00:25] <djwilcox> new install of mysql
[00:25] <wesley> how can i enable the use of graficals kdm themes in kdmtheme ?
[00:25] <djwilcox> tried mysql_install_db and it fails
[00:26] <djwilcox> cant install mysql tables
[00:26] <joh6nn> wesley: you want to install a new kdm theme?
[00:26] <ardchoille> wesley: You need to go to the kdmtheme ui (system settings > Appearance > KDM theme) and click the Administrator mode button
[00:26] <wesley> no thats not right
[00:27] <wesley> By default, the use of special graphical themes with KDM is disabled
[00:27] <joh6nn> wesley: define "special graphical themes"
[00:27] <wesley> how can i enable ?
[00:28] <ardchoille> wesley: Did you install kdmtheme?
[00:28] <wesley> yes
[00:28] <ardchoille> wesley: system settings > Appearance > KDM Theme Manager > click the Administrator mode button and go from there.
[00:29] <wesley> no thats not right i do that but he says that
[00:29] <wesley> Override files found, selected theme will not have effect.
[00:29] <wesley> Please see /usr/share/doc/kdm/README.Debian for more informations
[00:29] <asoiwaejfa> how does one add an extended partition to an existing hard drive with unallocated space?  when I try to do so with fdisk or gparted, it will only allow me to create a primary partition, is there something i might have missed when i partitioned my drive upon initial install?
[00:29] <articpenguin3800> is kde 4 going to be supported by canonical in hardy
[00:29] <coreymon77> i would think so
[00:30] <ardchoille> wesley: And did you read /usr/share/doc/kdm/README.Debian ?
[00:30] <wesley> uh yes but i dont realy get it what i need to do
[00:31] <penos> hi
[00:31] <joh6nn> articpenguin3800: no, not in hardy
[00:32] <joh6nn> probably in whatever comes after hardy
[00:33] <ardchoille> wesley: Hmm.. I've never run into that problem
[00:34] <wesley> nope my first time in 7.04 i did not had that problem
[00:35] <luisdaniel> hi
[00:35] <luisdaniel> how to update from shell?
[00:35] <joh6nn> luisdaniel: update the entire install?
[00:35] <luisdaniel> update from 7.04 to 7.10
[00:36] <joh6nn> is there a particular reason you need to do it from the shell?
[00:37] <luisdaniel> problems with grafic mode
[00:37] <joh6nn> ah
[00:38] <joh6nn> i believe you need to change /etc/apt/sources.list to point to Gutsy, instead of Edgy
[00:38] <joh6nn> and then you run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:39] <joh6nn> i THINK
[00:39] <ardchoille> 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] <stdin> !upgrade | luisdaniel (see the server upgrade for doing it from the shell)
[00:39] <ubotu> 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] <ardchoille> That simply upgrades all the "currently installed" apps
[00:39] <ardchoille> stdin: Ah, thanks
[00:39] <NickPresta> 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?
[00:40] <NickPresta> oh lol. stdin beat me to it
[00:40] <stdin> :)
[00:42]  * joh6nn bookmarks that link
[00:49] <joh6nn> anybody here ever use apt-cacher?
[00:49] <stdin> you mean apt-cache?
[00:50] <ardchoille> !info apt-cacher
[00:50] <ubotu> apt-cacher: caching proxy system for Debian package and source files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.3 (gutsy), package size 59 kB, installed size 284 kB
[00:51] <stdin> I just rsync the cache of my systems to my local archive, but I'm "special" :)
[00:53] <biovore> oO
[00:56] <joh6nn> stdin: apt-cacher is a caching system for apt, so that if you have 2 or more boxen in a lan, all running the same debian derivative, one box can download all the packages, and share them around, so that the majority of the bandwidth is internal, as opposed to everybody having to download the packages individually
[00:57] <stdin> joh6nn: I have several systems running different versions, so I have a local repo instead
[00:58] <joh6nn> i found multiple tutorials on how to set-up apt-cacher
[00:58] <joh6nn> but i'm still stuck
[01:02] <sfears> hello
[01:02] <tekteen> hi
[01:04] <sfears> i'm working with a tv running as a second monitor.. but the resolution isn't very good.  any ideas on getting a better looking picture?
[01:05] <joh6nn> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is my usual first step when i have video trouble
[01:06] <sfears> how can i get into that file making sure i don't change anything that's already set?
[01:06] <sfears> xserver-xorg.conf
[01:06] <sfears> ?
[01:08] <harold> sfears: create a backup beforehand
[01:08] <NamShub> Hi
[01:09] <NamShub> I used to have a PS2 mouse that was working fine. I upgraded to a USB once and now it seems jerky/unresponsive when the CPU is under heavy usage. How can i have better "priority" on the mouse?
[01:12] <BluesKaj> sfears, kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf  , look at the without edit permission
[01:12] <BluesKaj> file
[01:12] <NamShub> since I recompile kde4 about everyday... this basically means I got used to kde's numpad navigation :S
[01:13] <jalbert> ardchoille
[01:13] <jalbert> I'm having display driver problems again
[01:15] <ilya_> help plz with tuning cardrider in kubuntu
[01:16]  * stdin clears a couple of bans, ignore the flood
[01:17]  * stdin is done
[01:17] <jalbert> for some reason, this fsdriver program is not working anymore
[01:17] <matthew> i cannot wait for kde 4
[01:17] <matthew> but what's with dolphin?  it looks dumb
[01:17] <stdin> have you seen the kde4 version?
[01:17] <joh6nn> yeah, i don't like dolphin, either
[01:18] <stdin> d3lphin != dolphin
[01:18] <BluesKaj> stdin, what's with the d3lphin spelling ?
[01:19] <matthew> i've seen the version in kubuntu.. and screenshots of kde 4..
[01:19] <stdin> because it's the kde3 version
[01:19] <stdin> d3lphin is ported back to kde3 from kde4, so it's a bit messy
[01:19] <jalbert> I don't get why this suddenly stopped working
[01:20] <jalbert> now, I have no KDE desktop and I can't access my Linux fs in Windopes
[01:21] <BluesKaj> 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] <stdin> BluesKaj: it's just to differentiate the 2 code bases
[01:22] <BluesKaj> stdin, no matter :)
[01:22] <jalbert> It keeps telling me the disk is not formated and asks me if I  format it
[01:23] <jalbert> is there any other software available that enbles one to lount a linux fs from within windows?
[01:23] <jalbert> *mount*
[01:23] <BluesKaj> <--just feeling old and grumpy tonight , stdin
[01:24] <BluesKaj> besides that strigi search doesn't seem to work
[01:24] <harold> jalbert: google: ext2fs first 2 entrys
[01:25] <jalbert> yeah that's what isn't working
[01:25] <jalbert> suddenly it stopped working after a reboot
[01:25] <jalbert> It keeps telling me the disk is not formatted and asks me if I want to format it
[01:26] <harold> jalbert: what do you want to accomplish ?
[01:26] <jalbert> I need to edit my xorg.conf file
[01:27] <jalbert> the refresh rate and resolution is all screwy
[01:28] <harold> jalbert: can you startup linux ? use a virtual console if the graphics mode is not available ?
[01:28] <joh6nn> jalbert: ext2fs in windows is unmaintained, as far as i know.
[01:28] <joh6nn> i had major problems with it.  when i had it installed, my windows stability crapped out completely
[01:29] <jalbert> I can boot to a shell an that's it
[01:29] <jalbert> I guess I could edit my xorg.conf in emacs or something
[01:29] <BluesKaj> joh6nn, yeah it's also very unstable on 64 bit systems
[01:30] <harold> jablert: joh5nn I used to have /home on ext2 shared for windows with either ext2fs or ext2ifs, troublesome but working.
[01:30] <jalbert> but then I wouldn't be able to stay on IRC while doing it
[01:30] <joh6nn> i keep saying that Canonical should take the time to develop a stable windows ext3 driver
[01:30] <joh6nn> would be so nice
[01:30] <harold> jalbert: nano, easy editor.
[01:31] <harold> joh6nn: no way thats gonna happen...
[01:31] <crackhead_25> what's the command to find out the general volume space statistics of my hard drives?? or how do i do that with the gui??
[01:31] <nosrednaekim> crackhead_25: df
[01:31] <jalbert> nano?
[01:31] <joh6nn> harold: why not?  how much more incentive would newbs have to make the switch, if there was a guarnatee they could move back and forth with no problems?
[01:32] <harold> joh6nn: put your data on a fat formated external usb disk ??
[01:33] <joh6nn> i said newbs, not us
[01:33] <joh6nn> also, doesn't help if your data doesn't fit on a usb disk
[01:33] <jalbert> how do I use ext2fsd?
[01:34] <BluesKaj> crackhead_25, in the gui : system settings/adavanced/disk&filesystems
[01:34] <jalbert> I guess I  need to reboot now
[01:36] <harold> joh6nn: canonical develops for linux not for windows, just close the starting flaming...
[01:36] <joh6nn> harold: wasn't trying to start a flame, but i'll let it drop
[01:37] <BluesKaj> joh6nn, i still dual boot , but i use kubuntu 99% of the time ...windows is required in some situations in my case
[01:37] <harold> I dualboot only for WoW ;)
[01:37] <joh6nn> BluesKaj: same here.  i have a dying old pentium 2 in the corner, running win2k, that i boot about once every 2 months
[01:39] <BluesKaj> yeah joh6nn, if linux came up with a better scanner prog then i'd prolly dump windows entirely
[01:39] <NickPresta> harold,  WoW runs perfectly fine in Wine
[01:39] <joh6nn> never used a scanner with linux; i've heard good things about Gimp + Sane?
[01:39] <biovore> xsane and gimp works fine here..
[01:40] <biovore> I guess it depends on what scanner you have though..
[01:41] <harold> BluesKaj: I connect my scanner in virtualbox (winxp) and share the files through shared dir.
[01:41] <nosrednaekim> HP scanner and Xsane works beautifully
[01:42] <harold> NickPresta: I didn't get it to work....
[01:42] <NickPresta> harold, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9429
[01:43] <BluesKaj> the scanner works on kooka but the results are terrible , and the ctrls don't help much
[01:45] <crackhead_25> what's the command to do a checksum on a file with w given string input??
[01:45] <crackhead_25> (string input for comparison)
[01:45] <harold> NickPresta: thnx, but i will keep it running in windows for now, I'm terminating at next payment anyway.
[01:46] <stdin> crackhead_25: echo "string  file"|md5sum -c -
[01:46] <stdin> crackhead_25: 2 spaces is important
[01:48] <crackhead_25> stdin: what's "echo" mean?
[01:48] <Absurdo> someone use Konversation?
[01:48] <stdin> echo just prints what you put in, "echo 1" prints "1"
[01:49] <BluesKaj> a lot of ppl here do, Absurdo
[01:49] <harold> Absurdo: here
[01:50] <jalbert> ok this is really pissing m,e off
[01:50] <Absurdo> harold: /away set away, how i back away mode? /away again not works :(
[01:50] <harold> absurdo; /back
[01:50] <Absurdo> THANKS
[01:50] <jalbert> no matter what I do, the kde screen resolution is still all jacked up
[01:51] <harold> jalbert: did you get to the file ?
[01:54] <deamon3> hi
[01:54] <NickPresta> hi, deamon3

[01:57] <crackhead_25> anyone know the command to see if my cd drives are properly installed and what media if any are in the cd drives??
[01:58] <nosrednaekim> crackhead_25: try "mount"
[01:58] <Dannilion> Humm... Kontact keeps swallowing my email messages. I don't think it's meant to do that.

[01:59] <ubuntu__> i want to resize my windows partition to install kubuntu, but there's no option for it
[01:59] <ubuntu__> help?
[01:59] <nosrednaekim> ubuntu__: no option where?
[01:59] <deamon3> lol
[01:59] <Dannilion> okay... emails go in my inbox then a minute later completely disappear... and they're not being filtered anywhere the filters go
[01:59] <ubuntu__> in the install thingy
[01:59] <deamon3> download partition magic in your windows
[01:59] <stdin> !lol > deamon3
[02:00] <nosrednaekim> ubuntu__: go into "manual" partitioning mode
[02:00] <BluesKaj> !partition magic
[02:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about partition magic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:00] <ubuntu__> ok
[02:00] <deamon3>  lol
[02:00] <stdin> ubuntu__: or use the resize option, I think it's the 2nd option
[02:00] <deamon3> oooooo
[02:00] <deamon3> sorry
[02:00] <deamon3> XD
[02:00] <BluesKaj> parition magic is dangerous and unstable ...believe me
[02:00] <ubuntu__> it's not there
[02:01] <BluesKaj> !GParted
[02:01] <ubotu> GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/
[02:01] <ubuntu__> it was there when i installed it on a different computer...
[02:01] <nosrednaekim> ubuntu__: use qtparted then (close the install program first)
[02:02] <ubuntu__> do i have to install qtparted?
[02:02] <stdin> no, it's on the liveCD
[02:02] <j-albert> here's my xorg.conf file: http://www.pastebin.ca/844659
[02:03] <ubuntu__> ah... found it
[02:03] <j-albert> can't figure out why the fefresh rates are all screwed up
[02:04] <ubuntu__> "Hopelessly many bad sectors has been detected!" Doesn't sound good
[02:04] <j-albert> *refresh*
[02:04] <nosrednaekim> ubuntu__: ouchy....
[02:05] <ubuntu__> can i fix that?
[02:05] <ubuntu__> :(
[02:06] <nosrednaekim> ubuntu__: is the windows partition NTFS?
[02:06] <BluesKaj> j-albert, first of all try installing the right nvidia driver for your graphics card
[02:06] <deamon3> men
[02:06] <j-albert> I wish I'd never even tried to install that damn video editing software
[02:06] <ubuntu__> yes
[02:06] <deamon3> enter in your windows and download the partition magic
[02:06] <BluesKaj> !nvidia | j-albert
[02:06] <ubotu> j-albert: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:06] <deamon3> is easy .....
[02:07] <j-albert> um...
[02:07] <deamon3> partition magic in windows XP
[02:07] <j-albert> I cn't get into KDE to do it
[02:07] <nosrednaekim> ubuntu__: you may need to defrag from within windows first
[02:07] <j-albert> let alone have a browser window open
[02:07] <ubuntu__> ok
[02:08] <ubuntu__> bye
[02:08] <nosrednaekim> ubuntu__: oh wait
[02:08] <nosrednaekim> ubuntu__: is it Vista?
[02:08] <j-albert> well I'm going to go get something to eat
[02:08] <j-albert> this problem will be here when I get back
[02:08] <j-albert> later
[02:09] <killavus> Hiho. I have following problem: My friend which configured his WLAN using ndiswrapper have his connection on-line and can talk with me using Kopete.

[02:13] <ilya_> hi all
[02:13] <deamon3> hiii
[02:14] <nosrednaekim> hey ilya_
[02:14] <ilya_> I have a problem with card reader on my Acer Aspire 5051.. It doesn't work
[02:14] <ilya_> can sb help with it ?
[02:14] <nosrednaekim> ilya_: well... congrats.... I have the same lappy :)
[02:15] <nosrednaekim> ilya_: and no... the card reader does not work
[02:15] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: ((
[02:16] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: do u know the model of reader ?
[02:16]  * Dannilion wonders idly what the differnce between the card readers in the Aspire 5051 and the Aspire 5630 are, since that one works
[02:17] <ilya_> Dannilion: don't know
[02:19] <mith__> hi all
[02:19] <nosrednaekim> ilya_: dmesg doesn'teven show anything when i put a SD card in
[02:19] <mith__> are there any way to get my IrDa work?
[02:20] <secleinteer> hi, can anyone help me with dpi issues when installing the nvidia driver?
[02:20] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: I know..
[02:20] <nosrednaekim> secleinteer: when installing it?
[02:20] <secleinteer> nosrednaekim: after installing it
[02:20] <secleinteer> all the fonts are larger than they should be
[02:21] <nosrednaekim> secleinteer: even in KDE? or just KDM
[02:22] <secleinteer> nosrednaekim: in both, i believe. definitely in kde
[02:22] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: all what I can to find that it is "ENE PCI Secure Digital Card Reader Controller" but anything more
[02:22] <nosrednaekim> ilya_: lshw says its a ENE technology CB-712
[02:22] <secleinteer> nosrednaekim: when i uninstall the driver, the fonts are the correct size
[02:22] <amgesty> just try change the font?in the desktop setting
[02:22] <nosrednaekim> secleinteer: hmm, I don't know anything about nvidia's sorry
[02:23] <secleinteer> nosrednaekim: thanks for the help
[02:23] <secleinteer> amgesty: there are more problems than just font size, so just changing the fonts wouldn't help
[02:23] <nosrednaekim> secleinteer: there is a setting kcontrol for font dpi
[02:24] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: and one more question. Do you try compiz ? It's work normal on 5051 ?
[02:24] <secleinteer> nosrednaekim: 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 manager
[02:24] <nosrednaekim> ilya_: works great with the new ATI drivers (7.12)
[02:25] <nosrednaekim> ilya_: I actually have a 5050.... you do have Xpress1100 graphics right?
[02:25] <pacman> I have a question about mounting hard drives
[02:25] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: yes
[02:25] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: can you give me a manual ? )
[02:25] <nosrednaekim> ilya_: well, its pretty simple...I can step you though it.
[02:25] <pacman> 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] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: it would be great !
[02:26] <BluesKaj> secleinteer, make sure you uninstall the proprietary nvidia driver first
[02:26] <secleinteer> BluesKaj: how do i do that?
[02:26] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: I have allready install new ATI drivers but there are some bugs
[02:26] <nosrednaekim> ilya_: ok, first you need to disable the included fglrx kernel driver...
[02:26] <nosrednaekim> ilya_: like which type?
[02:27] <BluesKaj> secleinteer, what is the file extension on the download from nvidia ?
[02:27] <secleinteer> BluesKaj: .run
[02:28] <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 conner
[02:28] <nosrednaekim> ilya_: yeah...I occasionally get that as well.
[02:28] <BluesKaj> ok secleinteer there should be afolder in the same dir named "nvidia ...something" look in there for file that says "uninstall"
[02:29] <nosrednaekim> though its reallyjust a bunch of static
[02:29] <secleinteer> BluesKaj: you mean in the local directory that i have the .run in?
[02:29] <BluesKaj> yes
[02:30] <secleinteer> BluesKaj: that's the only file i have in the local dir
[02:30] <mith__> are there any way to get my IrDa work?
[02:30] <BluesKaj> secleinteer, so you didn't actually install the downloaded driver
[02:30] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: ok. let's get back to man plz
[02:30] <secleinteer> 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] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: *manual
[02:31] <secleinteer> BluesKaj: right now when i load kde, it doesn't have graphics support
[02:31] <secleinteer> BluesKaj: but could there be residue on my system?
[02:31] <secleinteer> BluesKaj: that's what i'm trying to remove
[02:31] <nosrednaekim> ilya_: which version of ATI drivers did you install?
[02:31] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: 7.13
[02:31] <amgesty> run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg   then reconfigure again
[02:32] <nosrednaekim> .13 is out?
[02:32] <nosrednaekim> wait... .13 is impossible..lol
[02:32] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: wait
[02:32] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: I'll check now
[02:32] <BluesKaj> 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] <secleinteer> BluesKaj: i've got x loading using vesa, so that's not a problem
[02:33] <BluesKaj> good
[02:33] <secleinteer> BluesKaj: but are there any files i should get rid of?
[02:33] <secleinteer> i like to keep my system clean
[02:34] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: realy
[02:34] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: 7.12 )))
[02:34] <BluesKaj> seclhow did you install the nvidia .run file
[02:34] <BluesKaj> secleinteer?
[02:35] <nosrednaekim> ilya_: so whats not working (besides the cursor bug)
[02:35] <amgesty> 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] <secleinteer> BluesKaj: i did 'sh *.run' without x running
[02:36] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: all working, but i can't to configure and start the compize
[02:36] <nosrednaekim> ilya_: ah.... right... fglrx is not a whitelisted driver,one sec while I find the command
[02:36] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: yes
[02:37] <nosrednaekim> ilya_: run "mkdir -p ~/.config/compiz; echo SKIP_CHECKS=yes >> ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager"
[02:38] <sFEARs> how do i boot into safe mode if it's not an option in grub?
[02:38] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: thanks
[02:39] <BluesKaj> secleinteer, and there is no nvidia folder in the /home dir ?
[02:39] <nosrednaekim> ilya_: that work?
[02:40] <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 ! thanks
[02:41] <secleinteer> BluesKaj: no, there isn't
[02:41] <nosredna_ekim> ilya_: did that work?
[02:42] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: yes
[02:43] <nosredna_ekim> ilya_: 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_ekim> ilya_: run "sudo apt-get install emerald"
[02:44] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: allready done
[02:44] <nosredna_ekim> then run "compiz --replace && emerald --replace"
[02:45] <stdin> nosredna_ekim: that would run emerald _after_ compiz exits successfully
[02:45] <nosredna_ekim> stdin: yeah... but compiz always exits successfully.
[02:46] <nosredna_ekim> or at least it should othewise he has a different problem
[02:46] <BluesKaj> ok secleinteer  try setting up the restricted driver in system settings/advanced/restricted driver admin mode
[02:47] <ilya_> nosredna_ekim: no
[02:47] <ilya_> nosredna_ekim: don't help
[02:47] <secleinteer> BluesKaj: i did that and restarted, and nothing happened
[02:47] <nosredna_ekim> ilya_: ask in #compiz-fusion.... I need to go.
[02:47] <secleinteer> BluesKaj: when i run glxgears, i don't get anything
[02:47] <ubuntu__> still no good
[02:47] <nosredna_ekim> ubuntu__: :(
[02:48] <ilya_> join #compiz-fusion
[02:48] <ubuntu__> defrag didn't help... but it took awhile
[02:48] <BluesKaj> secleinteer, prolly cuz your previous install of the proprietary driver is still loading / working
[02:48] <mith__> are there any way to get my IrDa work?
[02:48] <nosredna_ekim> ubuntu__: sorry,I need to go..
[02:48] <secleinteer> BluesKaj: so how would i undo that?
[02:48] <ubuntu__> ok
[02:49] <secleinteer> BluesKaj: i think i'm going to reinstall
[02:49] <BluesKaj> secleinteer, find the dir of the nvidia folder with the ./uninstall script in it
[02:50] <secleinteer> BluesKaj: ok, i'll try reinstalling and then uninstalling again
[02:51] <BluesKaj> that's pretty drastic
[02:51] <secleinteer> BluesKaj: no, no, i was going to reinstall, but i'll first try reinstalling and uninstalling the nvidia proprietary driver
[02:52] <limac> 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] <BluesKaj> how can you uninstall it if you don't know which dir it's installed to ?
[02:53] <secleinteer> BluesKaj: no, i'm going to reinstall the driver first
[02:53] <secleinteer> and then i can look for it
[02:55] <limac> an help?
[02:55] <limac> *any
[02:55] <secleinteer> 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] <ctothej> '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?
[02:56] <onishidato> hello everyone
[02:56] <onishidato> :D
[02:56] <ilya_> nosrednaekim: for abuot cardreader yenta_cardbus must work
[02:56] <limac> how can I get out of compiz?
[02:57] <CygnusX1> limac: try killall compiz.real
[02:58] <madrock> hi all
[02:59] <gan|y|med> hi
[02:59] <onishidato> !hello |madrock
[02:59] <ubotu> madrock: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu!
[03:00] <madrock> thanks
[03:00] <onishidato> tekteen: thanks for your help
[03:00] <madrock> I finally got Gusty working.
[03:00] <madrock> All god now.
[03:00] <madrock> good...
[03:01] <madrock> I think I nned some more coffee.
[03:02] <gan|y|med> i have a problem with xv video overlay/playback. i am using gutsy with the fgrlx drivers, and i can use xv overlay in kaffeine (so it works with xine). however, with mplayer it sometimes works (i can choose xv for video output) and sometimes it doesn't (x11/xshm has to be used). any ideas?)
[03:03] <madrock> Is anyone able to sugest a good webmail for Gusty?
[03:06] <limac> thx
[03:11] <crackhead_25> what's the command to set the network card active?
[03:11] <crackhead_25> i used iwconfig.. and i think i can set it right.. but is there one to use after that?
[03:13] <ilya_> ppl I have a little problem with compiz. I can't understand why the window's headers and borders dispose when I run it... May be sb can help me with it ?
[03:13] <amgesty> try :ifconfig eth0
[03:13] <n8k99> crackhead_25: i also use dhclient
[03:15] <claydoh> ilya_: do you have the package kde-window-decorator installed?
[03:17] <ilya_> claydoh: don't now
[03:17] <ilya_> claydoh: how can i check it ?
[03:18] <Dragnslcr> ilya_- do you have an nVidia card?
[03:18] <claydoh> either from Adept, or run the command 'kde-window-decorator' from a konsole or from alt-f2
[03:19] <ilya_> Dragnslcr: no, I have ATI
[03:19] <claydoh> kde and compiz need a little extra than what gnome needs
[03:19] <ilya_> Dragnslcr: is it critical ?
[03:21] <ilya_> claydoh:kde-window-decorator: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a decoration manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current decoration manager
[03:21] <claydoh> sorry my bad, follow the direction in the error message
[03:21] <claydoh> kde-window-decorator --replace
[03:22] <ilya_> claydoh: the trouble is in compiz... if i will follow the directions in the message - i'll replace compiz with default manager....
[03:22] <onishidato> !paste
[03:22] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic)
[03:22] <draik> What is the proper way of restarting KDE?
[03:22] <ilya_> claydoh: it isn't the way to decide this problem
[03:23] <claydoh> no, kde-window-decorator is specific to compiz
[03:23] <draik> Due to a recent upgrade, video won't work. I just did "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and when I try "startx", it won't work.
[03:24] <claydoh> if you wanted to switch back to a normal desktop, then you would invole kwin
[03:24] <claydoh> 'kwin --replace'
[03:24] <Dragnslcr> ilya_- there's a known issue with missing borders and nVidia cards
[03:25] <onishidato> check this out, how can i fix it??? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51045/
[03:25] <onishidato> can i use sudo fuser?
[03:26] <maduser> are you in root?
[03:26] <onishidato> who?
[03:26] <maduser> you
[03:26] <onishidato> i don't know
[03:26] <maduser> nevermind
[03:26] <draik> onishidato: Does it have your username or does it say "root"?
[03:26] <claydoh> onishidato: try deleting the lock file in your paste
[03:27] <claydoh>  /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
[03:27] <maduser> in the terminal type sudo su
[03:27] <maduser> then rm -R  /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
[03:27] <ofx> Hi all
[03:27] <onishidato> and?
[03:27] <maduser> thren try again
[03:28] <onishidato> ok
[03:28] <maduser> wait
[03:28] <ofx> Guys, does anyone know how to set up my fqdn on my kubuntu?
[03:28] <stdin> !aptfix | is a better solution to rm
[03:28] <ubotu> is a better solution to rm: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[03:28] <ofx> which conf file sets domain name on it
[03:28] <maduser> do that
[03:29] <stdin> ofx: /etc/hosts
[03:29] <onishidato> ok
[03:29] <onishidato> thanks
[03:30] <stdin> you can also try "/var/cache/apt/archives/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a" if that doesn't work
[03:30] <ofx> stdin: i just add the entry hostname.dnsdomain.net
[03:30] <onishidato> got it stdin
[03:31] <stdin> ofx: <IP address> <hostname>
[03:31] <ofx> stdin: for example, on gentoo based systems, i know there's a conf file called /etc/conf.d/net where i can add a entry such dns_domain="homeunix.net"
[03:33] <stdin> ofx: why do you need to set a fqdn?
[03:35] <ofx> stdin: i have three linux boxes using gentoo on a dnsdomain called homenix.net, i just installed kubuntu on my notebook and i would like to add it my dnsdomain
[03:37] <stdin> ofx: not sure
[03:39] <ofx> stdin: okk thanks anyway :D
[03:43] <waldek_> waldek
[03:45] <ofx> stdin: solved.
[03:45] <stdin> care to share? :p
[03:45] <ofx> stdin: of course not
[03:46] <ofx> stdin: you just need to add the fqdn in your /etc/hostname also
[03:46] <ofx> stdin: whiskey.homenix.net for example
[03:46] <stdin> oh, simple enough. if you know how :)
[03:47] <ofx> stdin: also you need to add the fqdn on your /etc/hosts like...
[03:47] <ofx> stdin: 127.0.1.1       whiskey.homenix.net
[03:48] <marx2k> I have a motherboard with a fairly new nVidia nForce chipset which doesn't seem to be supported in Ubuntu (yet)- does anyone know what I can do about it or where to get more information about it?
[03:48] <ofx> stdin: and at last you need to run /etc/init.d/hostname.sh
[03:48] <ofx> stdin: then you logout and then login and youre on your dnsdomain. you can check it running "dnsdomainname"
[03:48] <ofx> stdin: thats all :D
[03:49] <stdin> simple :p
[03:50] <ofx> stdin: yup
[03:52] <Lazarus> hi there
[03:52] <Lazarus> does anyone know how to make a certain file self terminate after a given time?
[03:52] <Lazarus> and be non copy-able?
[03:52] <Lazarus> well, text document
[03:52] <Lazarus> or picture
[03:53] <Lazarus> i have a story i have to loan to an associate, and i dont want him to copy it
[03:55] <ofx> guys: does anyone patch bcm43xx driver to allow inject?
[03:57] <ardchoille> Lazarus: If the content of the file is viewable on a computer, there's really no way you can keep the content from being somehow copied. There's ctrl+c/ctrl+v, hilight+middle click, screenshot, etc.
[03:57] <Lazarus> ardchoille, true, but its not nessecarily so covert
[03:58] <Lazarus> i just want him to read it, then have it self delete after a few hours
[03:58] <Lazarus> so its not on his hard drive
[03:58] <Lazarus> because he has other people who WOULD copy it who have access to his workstation
[04:20] <jalbert> hey, can anyone help me with an xwindows problem?
[04:20] <maduser> what?
[04:20] <jalbert> well
[04:21] <jalbert> kde boots up, but there's a problem with the refresh rate
[04:21] <jalbert> or the resolution
[04:21] <maduser> change that in the sys settings
[04:22] <jalbert> well... how can I do that without having xwindows open
[04:22] <maduser> it won't open?
[04:22] <jalbert> I'm in Windows noe
[04:22] <jalbert> now
[04:22] <maduser> will it boot into console?
[04:22] <jalbert> yep
[04:23] <maduser> you messed with xorg
[04:23] <jalbert> um... yeah
[04:23] <maduser> need to get a defult xorg
[04:23] <jalbert> ok
[04:23] <maduser> and delete the orginal
[04:23] <nowisn> where do i go to learn and ask questions about linuxmce using kubuntu?
[04:23] <jalbert> I can edit xorg from windows
[04:23] <nowisn> sorry hello
[04:23] <maduser> do you have a backup?
[04:23] <jalbert> I think so
[04:24] <ardchoille> nowisn: #linuxmce
[04:24] <jalbert> there's an xoeg.conf.backup
[04:24] <maduser> great
[04:24] <nowisn> TY
[04:24] <maduser> delete the xorg.cong
[04:24] <maduser> and rename  xoeg.conf.backup to xorg
[04:24] <maduser> xorg.conf
[04:24] <jalbert> ok
[04:24] <jalbert> I did that. Now I'm going to reboot
[04:25] <maduser> is it  xorg.conf.backup and not e?
[04:25] <maduser> do that
[04:25] <jalbert> xorg.conf.backup
[04:25] <maduser> good
[04:25] <maduser> do that and reboot
[04:25] <jalbert> ok rebooting..
[04:25] <jalbert> brb in a few minutes
[04:25] <ardchoille> jalbert: And if that works, make a backup of it in case this happens again
[04:26] <chadwick> 5\
[04:26] <maduser> si
[04:31] <jalbert> ok that didn' work
[04:31] <ardchoille> jalbert: Did you simply rename the back as xorg.conf?
[04:32] <nowisn> does the two cd isos for linuxmce have kubuntu on it or do i need to install kubuntu first?
[04:32] <RC_> can anyone help on how to change shortcut in konsole for scrolling up  from shift+pageup to ctrl+pageup ?
[04:32] <maduser> hmmmm
[04:33] <ardchoille> nowisn: Support for linuxmce is in #linuxmce
[04:33] <nowisn> K
[04:34] <jalbert> yes I did
[04:34] <nowisn> just thought I'd ask here cause there all sleeping, lol
[04:34] <maduser> jailbert log into console
[04:34] <jalbert> That time, kde didn't even start st sll
[04:34] <jalbert> *at all*
[04:35] <ardchoille> jalbert: Do you still have a copy of your original xorg.conf?
[04:35] <maduser> and do ls /etc/X11
[04:35] <maduser> the change in winodws may not have gone
[04:35] <maduser> at all
[04:36] <jalbert> it did
[04:36] <jalbert> I just opened the file and it's different
[04:37] <ardchoille> jalbert: You can always completely reconfigure xorg with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:37] <jalbert> that'll work?
[04:37] <maduser> from console
[04:37] <maduser> do you know UNIX?
[04:38] <ardchoille> jalbert: Yes, your kubuntu install from console
[04:38] <jalbert> "know UNIX"?
[04:38] <ardchoille> jalbert: This is where learning the command line comes inhandy :)
[04:39] <jalbert> I can so a lot of things from the command line, but I don't know everything
[04:39] <jalbert> *do*
[04:40] <jalbert> so then how can I install the proper nvidia driver?
[04:41] <jalbert> alright I'm going to give it a try
[04:41] <jalbert> ttya lin a bit
[04:41] <jalbert> heh
[04:41] <jalbert> tty *all in* a bit
[04:45] <rishad> hi i just installed kubuntu and now i installed firefox and kubuntu-restricted-extras. however the flash plugin doesnt work in firefox for some reason. it asks me to download adobe flash player and install via firefox which i do but everytime i refresh a page with flash the same "missing plugin" prompt comes. what do i do?
[04:46] <maduser> need to do a manual install
[04:46] <maduser> flash plugin from site
[04:46] <maduser> then run the program
[04:46] <maduser> abobe
[04:48] <rishad> ok. ill try.
[04:56] <billybobobo> is there a good way to create a tarball (gzipped) of a specific size?  I have 12GB of data I want to tar up into three 4GB archives
[04:58] <se7en> !tomboy
[04:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tomboy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:58] <se7en> !info tomboy
[04:58] <ubotu> tomboy: desktop note taking program using Wiki style links. In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.0-1 (gutsy), package size 2333 kB, installed size 6504 kB
[04:58] <sigma_123> doesnt ark do that? i know winzip could split files
[04:58] <billybobobo> i don't see it
[04:59] <billybobobo> nor Keep
[04:59] <se7en> somebody uses tomboy ... i can start it from the console but not from the kmenu
[04:59] <sigma_123> what does tomboy hav 2do with splitting a archive
[05:00] <billybobobo> nothing at all
[05:00] <se7en> sigma_123: it is a note-taker
[05:01] <sigma_123> thats because tomboy is a gnome app not kde
[05:01] <se7en> so is there a tomboy for kde
[05:02] <sigma_123> dont think so. just use the notes feature in kontact
[05:04] <billybobobo> i have 28,000 images in 12GB that I need to split into DVDs; can a DVD hold 9,999 items?  Ark keeps dieing and i don't know how to select a chunck for a tgz file otherwise
[05:05] <ardchoille> se7en: You might want to check out basket, it's quite nice and it's in the repos
[05:05] <sfears> can anyone help me force a second monitor (tv) to use a higher resolution?
[05:05] <se7en> ardchoille: thanks got the prob already     Now in 'KDE Menu Editor', just change the 'Command' line from 'tomboy --search' to 'tomboy' only and save it.
[05:05] <osiris> sfears, cant you force the video mode in xorg.conf ?
[05:06] <ardchoille> se7en: I'm confused
[05:06] <sfears> i set option metamode to 1600x1200.. but it still used the defualt 1024x768
[05:07] <osiris> di you comment out all other modes ?
[05:07] <sigma_123> ardchoille: the menu shortcut was probably designed for gnome nt kde
[05:07] <sfears> you mean under the sub section/modes?
[05:08] <se7en> 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] <osiris> yeah.  make a backup first of course
[05:08] <sfears> i didn't.. i will try that
[05:08] <osiris> but delete all the modes other than the one you want
[05:08] <sfears> will try
[05:08] <osiris> make sure you know the monitor supports the resolution, or you can cook it
[05:09] <ardchoille> se7en: Ah, ok. I don't use tomboy, I use basket :)
[05:10] <sfears> didn't work.. same thing
[05:10] <sfears> i have an extended screen displayed.. but everything is really choppy & pixely
[05:12] <snarkster> howdy
[05:14] <sfears> hi
[05:15] <jalbert> ok that reconfiguration did not work
[05:17] <jalbert> 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] <jalbert> never actually rewrote the xorg.conf file
[05:20] <jalbert> ardchoille
[05:23] <snarkster> have they come out with a way to have an animated background yet?
[05:24] <firecrotch> snarkster:  It's possible to use a screensaver as your background...
[05:24] <snarkster> it is? can you explain how?
[05:25] <snarkster> gotta love Arizona this time of year.
[05:25] <firecrotch> Well, I've never tried it on Kubuntu, tried it on Ubuntu and it works
[05:26] <firecrotch> http://blog.prashanthellina.com/2007/08/22/matrix-desktop/  That ought to get you started
[05:26] <firecrotch> basically you have to disable whatever is drawing your current desktop, and set xscreensaver to draw on the root window
[05:27] <jalbert> has anybody ever had to reconfigure the xserver?
[05:27] <jalbert> using the util in kubuntu
[05:27] <jalbert> ?
[05:28] <jalbert> this is 2 days now that my computer's been almost unusable
[05:28] <firecrotch> jalbert:  what kind of problem are you having?
[05:28] <snarkster> jailbert just write a small xorg.conf and go from there
[05:29] <jalbert> xorg.conf is all f-d up
[05:29] <jalbert> I tried to reconfigure it, but the configuration utility broke out into a command shell, like 3/4-way through
[05:30] <jalbert> that happened twice now
[05:30] <firecrotch> jalbert: have you tried  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:30] <jalbert> I tried fixing it manually, butthat doesn't work either
[05:32] <firecrotch> what kind of problems are you having? can you paste your xorg.conf?
[05:32] <jalbert> when I boot, it won't open xwindows
[05:32] <jalbert> just goes to a blank screen with a blinking cursor
[05:32] <jalbert> one sec
[05:33] <booker> Hello all! Greetings from England
[05:34] <firecrotch> hello, booker
[05:34] <booker> hi firecrotch
[05:34] <booker> This is the place to come for Kubuntu tech support, right?
[05:34] <jalbert> http://www.pastebin.ca/844849
[05:35] <firecrotch> Yup
[05:35] <snarkster> Thank you firecrotch good news
[05:35] <jalbert> there. My xorg.conf
[05:35] <firecrotch> jalbert:  thanks, I'll take a look at it
[05:35] <jalbert> thank you
[05:35] <firecrotch> snarkster:  were you able to get it to work?
[05:36] <snarkster> im working on it right now.. I do have KDE so im not sure if itll work
[05:36] <billybobobo> 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] <firecrotch> jalbert:  are there any errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[05:36] <jalbert> one sec
[05:36]  * se7en kicks the tomboy out and uses basket ... thanks to ardchoille
[05:38] <jalbert> http://www.pastebin.ca/844853
[05:38] <booker> Just a very quick question (I'm using Kubuntu right now); when I connect through pppd, Firefox accesses the web just fine, but Konqueror never does :/
[05:38] <jalbert> I don't get why the configuration util screwed up like that
[05:39] <booker> (whoops, sorry if I'm interrupting another discussion here.....)
[05:39] <jalbert> don't worry about it
[05:39] <booker> it's not important
[05:39] <booker> (my query, that is)
[05:39] <snarkster> would help if i have xscreensaver installed. LOL
[05:40] <billybobobo> does anyone know of a script which tars up many files into many neat little 4.3GB packages?
[05:40] <maduser> the script would need all the locations of the files
[05:41] <jalbert> hey maduser
[05:41] <maduser> did it work?
[05:41] <jalbert> nope
[05:41] <snarkster> probably bring my little ancient laptop to its knees..
[05:41] <jalbert> I tried to reconfigure it, but the configuration utility broke out into a command shell, like 3/4-way through
[05:41] <snarkster> Im installing it now, gimme just a second
[05:41] <jalbert> 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] <jalbert> never actually rewrote the xorg.conf file
[05:43] <snarkster> hmm how do i undo this if it kills kde? LOL
[05:43] <jalbert> that's what happened to me
[05:44] <jalbert> I was installing some video editor software
[05:44] <firecrotch> jalbert: boot into recovery mode and try to reconfigure it with dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[05:44] <snarkster> hmm guess i learn what broke and try to make it work
[05:44] <jalbert> it had a lot of dependencies
[05:44] <jalbert> -phigh?
[05:44] <pacman> I'm still having problems getting my other hard drive to let me put files on it
[05:44] <firecrotch> yes
[05:44] <snarkster> what did you install?
[05:45] <jalbert> while I was installing the dependencies, it started uninstalling KDE!
[05:45] <jalbert> it was mesa
[05:45] <jalbert> mesa is a clone of opengl
[05:46] <jalbert> firecrotch, what is -phigh?
[05:46] <firecrotch> jalbert:  it sets it to ask only high-priority questions while reconfiguring
[05:47] <jalbert> ok thx
[05:47] <jalbert> I'll give it a try...
[05:50] <booker> ...does anyone have any answers on the Konqueror front? Or is now the wrong time to ask?
[05:53] <wiggles> i killed windows
[05:53] <wiggles> not in a good way
[05:53] <booker> disconnect
[05:53] <pacman> ??
[05:53] <firecrotch> wiggles:  Explain more?
[05:54] <wiggles> i can't boot into it
[05:54] <wiggles> even safe mode
[05:54] <wiggles> it just ends up restarting
[05:54] <firecrotch> wiggles:  XP or Vista?
[05:54] <wiggles> xp
[05:54] <ardchoille> !ot | wiggles
[05:54] <ubotu> wiggles: #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!
[05:55] <firecrotch> wiggles:  Is this in some way related to you installing Kubuntu?
[05:55] <wiggles> yeah
[05:55] <wiggles> how can i view the windows files in the live cd?
[05:55] <firecrotch> wiggles: so you had windows xp installed, then installed Kubuntu along side it?
[05:56] <wiggles> i tried
[05:56] <wiggles> it couldn't resize the partition
[05:57] <wiggles> so i defraged
[05:57] <wiggles> no good
[05:57] <wiggles> i used the fix disk thingy in windows
[05:57] <wiggles> not it's all fucked up
[05:57] <firecrotch> wiggles:  my guess is the partition table on your hard drive is really messed up
[05:59] <firecrotch> ardchoille:  clearly his problem was related to him trying to install kubuntu
[06:01] <joey_> ugh...can anyone hhelp me install fluxbox?
[06:01] <snarkster> nah it doesnt seem to work
[06:01] <ardchoille> joey_: sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[06:02] <snarkster> this perticular xscreensaver doent seem to recognize that I want to run 1 screensaver i have to use some sort of demo mode.
[06:02] <joey_> huh? ok...this is my first foray into linux so im not sure what that means
[06:02] <se7en> !fluxbox
[06:02] <ubotu> fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox
[06:03] <ubuntu> how can i view a windows partition with the kubuntu live cd?
[06:04] <stdin> !ntfs
[06:04] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE
[06:05] <joey_> im lost
[06:05] <ardchoille> joey_: Ok, is this your first time with Linux?
[06:05] <joey_> yes
[06:06] <ardchoille> joey_: And do you know which release of kubuntu you are using?
[06:06]  * se7en wounders if you can actualy see all partitions on a kubuntu live cd
[06:06] <joey_> the most recent
[06:06] <nowisn> breath in slowly first then exhale, lol
[06:07] <nowisn> don't give up on it, once you learn its fun
[06:07] <nowisn> its a learning curve for sure
[06:07] <joey_> i know...it was my new years resolution to dump windows
[06:07] <ardchoille> joey_: Ok, in the Linux world it's going to take some reading and learning on your part. Good starting points are  http://www.kubuntu.org/faq.php  and  http://www.kubuntu.org/doc/index.php . and of course being i this channel
[06:07] <nowisn> lol
[06:08] <nowisn> me too
[06:14] <jalbert> !nvidia
[06:14] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:14] <navetz> i keep getting this error
[06:14] <navetz> alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[06:14] <navetz> can someone help me fix my sound
[06:15] <jalbert> good news: I managed to configure the xorg.conf to use the vesa driver
[06:16] <jalbert> but I want to install the nvidia driver
[06:16] <jalbert> this 600x800 resolution is unbearable
[06:19] <marx2k> So, how do I figure out what can I do if it seems as though my current nForce chipset is currently unsupported in Ubuntu?
[06:22] <snarkster> well the animated background doesnt work.. shucks.. good night all
[06:22] <andrew_> is kubuntu going to have kde 4 included in it's next release?
[06:23] <volodya> hi. Anybody knows how to make kdesktop/kicker *not* resize/move itself when external monitor is added via xrandr?
[06:41] <sfears> i'm still looking for some help setting my second monitor (tv) display resolution.  it won't go past 1024x768 even after i've edited the xorg.conf file.. is there another file it looks at for screen resolution?
[06:42] <kirk> hey ppl
[06:45] <miranda_> I am trying to run a dual display with two independant X sessions so that I can run both myth and kde, but my second video card will not show in lspci if my first video card is in place. Any idea why?
[06:47] <volodya> heh, it seems multiple monitors is a big problem these days
[06:48]  * volodya continues to google for kubuntu multiple monitors xrandr issues
[06:48] <noaXess> !lvm
[06:48] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[06:48] <miranda_> yeah, well if your video card won't show up that would be a big problem ;)
[06:49] <miranda_> I think it would be good if the ubuntu devs improved dual display though. That is something that is ridiculously easy on windows
[06:49] <kirk> how can i download and install codecs manually to install on another computer
[06:49] <volodya> miranda_: you have two video cards, physically?
[06:50] <kirk> codecs for kaffeine, to watch movies etc
[06:50] <miranda_> yoiodia: yes. One is nvidia, one ati
[06:50] <miranda_> yoiodia: One AGP and one PCI
[06:51] <miranda_> yoiodia: I also have a third onboard, but it disables when a secondary videocard is detected.
[06:51] <jalbert> hey thanks you guys, I got it all straightened out
[06:52] <jalbert> all I have to do now is reinstall compiz-fusion
[06:52] <miranda_> yoiodia: If I pull the agp card just to check things out, the nvidia card shows up as 5:02.0, which is my netwoork card when the agp card is installed.
[06:52] <richard_> Hi all. Can anyone help sort out xorg resolution problem.
[06:52] <miranda_> rochard: what is your problem?
[06:52] <jalbert> and upgrade to Gutsy
[06:52] <jalbert> what's the problem?
[06:53] <jalbert> the xorg problem?
[06:53] <richard_> miranda_: xorg wont keep my settings 1024x768
[06:53] <kirk> how can i download and install codecs manually to install on another computer
[06:53] <jalbert> won't keep it?
[06:53] <miranda_> richard_: are you using kde?
[06:54] <richard_> after loading nvidia legacy driver all i can get is 800x600 or 1280x960
[06:54] <richard_> miranda_: yes kubuntu nearly fresh install
[06:54] <jalbert> ok at the command line, type:
[06:54] <miranda_> richard_: are you on a laptop?
[06:54] <jalbert> kdesu kate etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:55] <volodya> miranda_: this is strange. and AGP card should disable the onboard one, but the second PCI one should work
[06:55] <richard_> miranda_: no desktop with old ish lcd
[06:55] <miranda_> kirk: if you know the name of the package, try searching for it in google by typing packagename site:packages.ubuntu.cojjm
[06:56] <miranda_> You can then download the *.deb package
[06:57] <richard_> jalbert: i have edited the xorg.conf and can get it to 1024x960 if i chnge monitor. then change res to 800x600 then back to 1024x768 but on reboot all is lost
[06:58] <jalbert> hmmm
[06:59] <jalbert> what resolution do you want?
[06:59] <jalbert> 1024x768
[06:59] <jalbert> ?
[06:59] <richard_> jalbert: miranda_:i can post my xorg.conf and xorg.0.log if some one can explame how on konversation
[07:00] <jalbert> use pastebin
[07:00] <richard_> jalbert: yes
[07:00] <jalbert> www.pastebin.ca
[07:01] <volodya> uhm, well, I suppose I get to hack on kicker so that it does not insist on being located on "VGA" output.
[07:02] <richard_> jalbert: trying that now thanks ;-)
[07:03] <jalbert> paste the code in there, then click "Submit Post"
[07:03] <jalbert> it'll give you an URL like tinyurl.com
[07:03] <jalbert> copy and paste that URL here
[07:04] <richard_> jalbert: ok try this http://www.pastebin.ca/844911
[07:08] <richard_> jalbert: got it?
[07:10] <jalbert> I was just now having problems with getting the resolution I wanted
[07:11] <jalbert> so I ran the xorg configuration utility from the dhell
[07:11] <jalbert> *shell*
[07:12] <jalbert> I chose "nvidia" from the list of drivers
[07:12] <jalbert> 1024x768 was the resolution it defaulted to
[07:13] <jalbert> I wanted 1440x900, so I manually edited my xorg.conf and put that in there in the list of display modes
[07:13] <richard_> i used the restricted drivers which worked but only gave me 800x600 or 1280x960
[07:13] <jussi01> !ati | jalbert, have you looked at this
[07:13] <ubotu> jalbert, have you looked at this: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:13] <jalbert> yeah
[07:14] <jalbert> what card do you have?
[07:14] <richard_> jalbert: nvidia vanta
[07:14] <jalbert> vanta... never heard of that
[07:14] <vzduch> about as antique as the Riva TNT2
[07:15] <vzduch> NV6
[07:15] <jalbert> I think the legacy is the one you want
[07:15] <richard_> jalbert:  i changed the monitor in kcontrol
[07:15] <vzduch> the Linux legacy driver should do.. for Windows, you'd need an even older version
[07:16] <richard_> i have the legacy driver and it works i get glxgears but resolution wont stick
[07:17] <Jay-Oh-En> can somebody help me make koqueror go faster
[07:17] <andrew_> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

[07:17] <vzduch> !away > rouzic_ausente
[07:18] <richard_> andrew_: i ran dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and that didn't help much either but will try yours
[07:18] <andrew_> Ok.
[07:20] <the_padawan> hello all, this should be an easy one on IRC, how can i find a list of servers and a list of rooms in konversation?

[07:21] <vzduch> apart from this not being a Kubuntu problem ;)
[07:22] <the_padawan> vzduch: yeah, alright, i hate the thought of installing a different client because this one doesn't come with a populated server/channel list
[07:22] <the_padawan> vzduch: thanks though
[07:23] <darth_chatri> anyone using tabs in vim?
[07:23] <snowdonke1> Hi.  I want to watch soccer on ESPN360.com but they say I need Windows.  Is there a way to identify my machine as a Windows one?
[07:26] <jussi01> snowdonke1: I dont think so. its wacky drm stuff... bleh
[07:28] <snowdonke1> jussi01: oh, that's unfortunate
[07:29] <osiris> you could TRY changing your user agent to IE, but that prolly wont work
[07:30] <jussi01> what _may_ work is trying to run windows media player under wine, but hardly likely in my opinion
[07:33] <Jay-Oh-En> ok in my konqueror i try to open a page with flash on it and while emulating IE in konqueror it only shows a grey box (the page requires  IE)

[08:06] <kirk> hey ppl
[08:08] <kirk> i have my other computer hooked up to a 50'' samsung plasma, with a fresh kubuntu install, with an 500 gig external hd with about loads of movies and videos i wanna be able to watch. kaffeine shuts down everytime i try to play a movie. apparently i need codecs. this computer isnt online.... any idea how to install codecs manually?
[08:10] <robotgeek> kirk: can you get it online?
[08:10] <robotgeek> kirk: it would be a lot easier :)
[08:10] <kirk> yeaaaaa
[08:10] <kirk> i guess i could, i was hoping for an easier way
[08:11] <robotgeek> kirk: you could save yourself a lot of pain, if you can get it online.
[08:11] <kirk> lolok
[08:11] <kirk> i was wanting to be lazy and not drag it in here
[08:11] <kirk> i have four 8gb flash drives...
[08:12] <kirk> that are never used
[08:12] <jussi01> kirk: it is possible, but a real pain in the rear end...
[08:12] <kirk> i'll take ur word for it
[08:12] <jussi01> kirk: go buy a long network cable ;)
[08:12] <kirk> lol yep

[08:15] <kirk> mainly need kaffeine to play the .iso .avi. and mpg
[08:15] <robotgeek> kirk: avi is just a container format, you will need codecs which are available in !restricted
[08:15] <robotgeek> kirk: you might need to mount the iso before you can play it.
[08:16] <robotgeek> and kaffeine should just play the mpg files anyways
[08:16] <kirk> hmmm
[08:16] <kirk> its not playing either
[08:16] <kirk> they're all on the external hd, which is mounted
[08:16] <kirk> everytime i try to play anything it crashes

[09:17] <jussi01> kirk: ?
[09:17] <kirk> where do i find vlc?
[09:18] <jussi01> kirk: in the universe repo

[09:23] <kirk> when i installed it, it wasnt online

[09:26] <ardchoille> kirk: does that new install have an internet connection now?
[09:26] <kirk> yeaaa i had to drag it in here to get codecs

[09:32] <vlt> Hello. 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?
[09:33] <Roy_M> vlt: have you read http://gd4.tuwien.ac.at/.vhost/linuxcommand.org/man_pages/vmstat8.html
[09:33] <Roy_M> I think that it probably is only showing up when you do your top
[09:35] <vlt> Roy_M: Yes, I've read it. What do you mean "do your top"?
[09:36] <se7en> !top
[09:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about top - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> hi all
[09:36] <Roy_M> vlt: how are you getting the cpu load. I presume you are using "top"?
[09:37] <vlt> Roy_M: Yes, `top` or a line > 1st from `vmstat 1`
[09:39] <Roy_M> 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] <lingard> qparted won't let me resize a windows partition stating it is busy
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> vlt, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-find-out-linux-cpu-utilization.html
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> lingard, is it mounted?
[09:41] <lingard> it is
[09:41] <lingard> as far as i'm aware
[09:41] <lingard> is that bad?
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> lingard, it needs to be unmounted to do stuff like that
[09:42] <xaka> I have NFS resource. Can i mount it by click on icon? Same as for cdrom or USB devices?
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> lingard, make sure you backup all your data from your partition so if it goes wrong you dont lose your porn
[09:43] <lingard> its only vista on the prtition, so noting to worry about
[09:43] <lingard> how do i unmount using the terminal?
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> lingard, id reinstall vista with a smaller partition and leave the space for kubuntu unallocated
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> lingard, sudo umount /path/to/mount/folder
[09:44] <lingard> vista's on a seperate drive
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> lingard, ok i see. you want space for data i'm guessing rather than OS
[09:46] <lingard> no no, i want to install another os
[09:46] <kirk> with vlc the movies are real jumpy
[09:46] <kirk> like... jitterly
[09:47] <lingard> 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] <lingard> so the terminal command should look like sudo unmount /media/sbd1?
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> lingard, you may need to add the vista entry to your grub config
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> lingard, sounds cool to me
[09:48] <llutz> lingard: umount, not unmount
[09:49] <lingard> i'm pretty much sick of vista
[09:49] <lingard> it comes up not found
[09:49] <tzd> 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] <ActionParsnip> lingard, everyone is, its absolute garbage. WinME is better
[09:49] <lingard> though thats the path to the files on the drive
[09:49] <lingard> its cost me a fortune in new hardware
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> lingard, did you have xp before?
[09:50] <lingard> i did
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> lingard, was it ok?
[09:50] <lingard> it was fine
[09:50] <lingard> no hastle at all
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> lingard, then why install vista?
[09:51] <vlt> 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] <vlt> Any idea?
[09:51] <lingard> i was testing it out :)
[09:51] <lingard> i really think mcrosoft should have added the option to downgrade vista
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> lingard, I hope to god you didnt pay for it
[09:51] <lingard> not at all
[09:52] <lingard> i have it on my laptop and its fine on there
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> vlt, do you mean 100% load?
[09:52] <vlt> ActionParsnip: Yes, I got a load of "1.00 1.00 1.00" for hours now but the machine is nearly idle.
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> vlt, is the system running badly?
[09:54] <vlt> ActionParsnip: No, all services seem to work and respond normally.
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> vlt, can we have a pastebin of your top output please
[09:56] <tzd> 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?

[10:03] <ActionParsnip> vlt, Cpu(s):  0.3% us
[10:03] <lingard> does it have the latest version of kaffeine?
[10:03] <kirk> yes
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> kirk, have you mounted the iso or just told kaffeine to play it?
[10:04] <kirk> i play it straight off my external like always
[10:05] <kirk> never any problems
[10:05] <kirk> until now....
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> 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] <ActionParsnip> ??
[10:05] <kirk> no
[10:05] <kirk> i just want the movie to play on my computer
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> ok
[10:05] <kirk> i have an s video cable i hook this computer up to my plasma
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> kirk, ok i see now
[10:06] <kirk> on my office computer everything plays now
[10:06] <kirk> i just move the external hd back n forth when watching movies
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> kirk, is the settings for the plasma right (refresh rate / resolution)
[10:06] <kirk> its hooked up to a reg monitor now
[10:07] <kirk> but wont even play movies with kaffeine, wont play any isos i have
[10:07] <kirk> I drug it in here to download codecs
[10:07] <kirk> thought that might be the prob
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> kirk, its a good port of call
[10:08] <kirk> No plugin found to handle this resource (//media/500gb/movies/blood_diamond.iso)
[10:08] <kirk> when i tried to play with kaffeine ^
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> kirk, try mounting the iso first then tell kaffeine to play the folder

[10:10] <ActionParsnip> lingard, wassup?
[10:10] <kirk> u definitely do NOT have to burn it. my other computer plays it as an iso
[10:11] <lingard> qparted says somethings not yet suported
[10:11] <lingard> i'll just copy every thing to this hdd and format the whole of the other one
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> kirk, try vlc. it might be ok
[10:12] <kirk> man... i just want it to work like my other computer does...
[10:12] <kirk> it plays with vlc, but jitters
[10:12] <lingard> is there a way to clone a hard drive with kubuntu?
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> kirk, mplayer?
[10:13] <kirk> ill try it
[10:13] <vlt> ActionParsnip: Ok, and what does that tell me ("6 users connected")? Where to look for the 1.00 load's reason?
[10:13] <kirk> i really like kaffeine the best
[10:13] <kirk> when it works
[10:14] <lingard> i like windows media centre :D

[10:15] <lingard> if all else fails
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> i like puppy linux / kubuntu
[10:16] <lingard> you think its possible to install onto a udb stick?
[10:16] <lingard> *usb
[10:17] <kirk> wow
[10:17] <kirk> i just tried to play a .iso and it took me to the login screen

[10:20] <yao_ziyuan> do you guys sometimes think of that you're really gonna kick bill gates' ass?
[10:20] <yao_ziyuan> s/think of that/think
[10:21] <yao_ziyuan> i think for western users kubuntu has already been doing that (killing windows)
[10:22] <jussi01> !ot | yao_ziyuan
[10:22] <ubotu> 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] <yao_ziyuan> but for east asian users, you have to install their input methods by default in order to enable their migration
[10:23] <yao_ziyuan> it does include a support issue
[10:23] <jussi01> yao_ziyuan: please state your question clearly ;)
[10:23] <yao_ziyuan> put straight, automatically install input methods for an east asian user when he indicates his locale during installation
[10:24] <jussi01> !bug | yao_ziyuan
[10:24] <ubotu> 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] <yao_ziyuan> relevant keywords: skim, scim, pinyin (for chinese users)
[10:25] <yao_ziyuan> it seems ubuntu supports east asian input method installation and configuration more easily than kubuntu
[10:25] <yao_ziyuan> mostly because gnome and kde uses different interfaces for working with input method engines
[10:25] <yao_ziyuan> for KDE, it's SKIM
[10:26] <jussi01> yao_ziyuan: please file a bug, if you have a support question please ask.
[10:26] <fdoving> 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] <yao_ziyuan> the general problem is that kubuntu (more specifically, kde) does not support installing and configuring east asian input methods very well
[10:28] <fdoving> yao_ziyuan: kde is a very open project, feel free to contribute. :)
[10:28] <yao_ziyuan> i don't really know if it's kde's or kubuntu's responsibility to make it easier
[10:28] <yao_ziyuan> maybe kde is only responsible for providing all the components
[10:29] <yao_ziyuan> and kubuntu is responsible for wrapping up kde functionality with a user-friendly interface
[10:32] <lingard> wow, it takes a while to transfer 74gb
[10:34] <yao_ziyuan> well,
[10:34] <yao_ziyuan> let me tell you the easy way
[10:34] <yao_ziyuan> there is a package 'fcitx'
[10:34] <yao_ziyuan> which is a chinese pinyin input method
[10:34] <yao_ziyuan> it's more robust and easier to set up
[10:35] <yao_ziyuan> should consider it an alternative for a chinese user requesting to install chinese input capability
[10:39] <fdoving> yao_ziyuan: you should make it a bugreport at bugs.ubuntu.com
[10:40] <yao_ziyuan> i think maybe i'm wrong
[10:40] <yao_ziyuan> kubuntu's Add/Remove Programs is supposed to be the easiest interface to install something, isn't it?
[10:40] <jpatrick> yao_ziyuan: just supply as much detail as you can at the bugtracker and we'll see :)
[10:41] <xst> 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. :-(
[10:53] <ubuntu> the hardy alpha 2 is it usefull?
[10:54] <dappermuis> depends what you consider useful
[10:54] <dappermuis> to a developer/tester it is useful
[10:54] <dappermuis> but to others it might not be
[10:54] <jussi01> ubuntu: its alpha, there are bugs, but it can of course be used. please direct further questions to #ubuntu+1
[10:55] <ubuntu> yeah but its stable ( i mean stablere then vista )
[10:55] <jussi01> ubuntu: no
[10:55] <jussi01> not stable
[10:55] <jussi01> ubuntu: use gutsy.
[10:56] <ubuntu> nope going try hardy pre
[10:56] <dappermuis> of course it's more stable than vista :)
[10:56] <fdoving> ubuntu: it needs testers though. if you're not afraid of bugs, and willing to report them, please test :)
[10:56] <ubuntu> where can i report them?

[10:58] <ActionParsnip> hi all. my www sucks :(
[10:58] <dappermuis> HHarry, it's gonna be the default in hardy
[10:58] <onishidato> hey guys, i can't log in my account now, how can i do?? when i start my PC, when it appear the log in screen, i fill with password, but when i press enter, the screen will shutdown and return again with the log in screen. i don't know what wrong.. can someone help me?
[10:58] <se7en> onishidato: that normaly happens when your hdd is full
[10:58] <dappermuis> onishidato, that usually happens when there's a problem with your user account
[10:58] <ardchoille> dappermuis: kde4 is not going to be the default in Hardy Herron
[10:59] <ubuntu> yes thats cool kde4 its the futere you can sat kde3 is like xp without WOW and kde4 is Like vista but without sheise
[10:59] <dappermuis> or ardchoille, i remember reading it somewhere - lemme find the link
[10:59] <onishidato> se7en: full?? i don't think so, cause i have 40GB for my Linux, it ca't be....
[10:59] <yao_ziyuan> (k)ubuntu probably has the largest user community among all distros
[10:59] <se7en> log on without x and do df -h onishidato
[10:59] <onishidato> dappermuis: what can i do now?
[10:59] <yao_ziyuan> because i can join #ubuntu-cn, #ubuntu-tw, #ubuntu-jp
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> onishidato, try df -h
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> onishidato, please provide pastebin :)
[11:00] <onishidato> ActionParsnip: i can't:)
[11:01] <onishidato> i'm using 2 Linux program

[11:01] <ActionParsnip> onishidato, listen to HHarry. you can log in at command line and df -h there
[11:02] <onishidato> and what can i do next
[11:02] <onishidato> ??
[11:02] <se7en> onishidato: what does df -h say
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> onishidato, check your disk space usage
[11:04] <dappermuis> ardchoille: see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/2007-December/002066.html
[11:04] <onishidato> if it doesn't?
[11:04] <dappermuis> Instead, due to the very high interest, development
[11:04] <dappermuis> efforts will be directed towards KDE 4 and releasing Kubuntu 8.04 with
[11:04] <dappermuis> the option of using either KDE 3.5 or KDE 4.
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> onishidato, its a standard command
[11:04] <HHarry> onishidato: did you login already ?
[11:05] <spaci76> hi@ll
[11:05] <HHarry> onishidato: any errors there ??
[11:06] <ardchoille> dappermuis: Right, Hardy will have kde4 as an "option", but it won't be the default desktop.
[11:06] <onishidato> HHarry, this is my second operation system, that prob happened with my 1st operation, so i can't try it now:)
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> onishidato, boot to the system with issues and log in at command line
[11:07] <dappermuis> 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] <ardchoille> dappermuis: It's not important, the post from Riddell is what to expect :)
[11:08] <onishidato> so, if that, how can i get your support......:(
[11:08] <se7en> onishidato: you might want to install irssi a comand line chat too
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> onishidato, write / memorise the steps
[11:08] <dappermuis> ardchoille: see http://mhb.ath.cx/blog/kubuntu/frequently-asked-questions/
[11:08] <jpatrick> dappermuis: http://people.ubuntuwire.com/~jpatrick/minutes/kubuntu-meeting-20071222.pdf
[11:09] <ubuntu> 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] <onishidato> irssi?
[11:09] <jussi01> !info irssi

[11:10] <HHarry> ubuntu: can you do your discusion about future stuff in #ubuntu+1 please ?
[11:10] <onishidato> it says can't connect to X server, what's that means?
[11:10] <ubuntu> why that?
[11:11] <HHarry> ubuntu: becourse the that channel is reserved for that ...
[11:11] <jpatrick> HHarry: it's good to let others now what we plan to do
[11:11] <onishidato> it says can't connect to X server, what's that means?
[11:12] <jpatrick> onishidato: that you don't have an X server running
[11:12] <onishidato> !X server
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> !x

[11:18] <onishidato> that problem happened....
[11:18] <onishidato> so
[11:18] <onishidato> any suggest?

[11:30] <fabricio> i have a problem with Wireless WPA autentication under Kubuntu 7.10
[11:31] <fabricio> network works without password
[11:31] <Lynoure> jasmin_: the pastebin did not seem to contain the model or firmware info. Do you happen to know what firmware it has?
[11:32] <jasmin_> Lynoure: no
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> gladier, are you using compiz?
[11:32] <jasmin_> Lynoure: how do i find it
[11:32] <fabricio> i have a problem with Wireless WPA autentication under Kubuntu 7.10
[11:32] <gladier> ActionParsnip: nope
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> gladier, the program is called switcher
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> gladier, i'm googling for a solution, you should too
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> gladier, do you have all the latest updates?
[11:36] <gladier> im checking that now
[11:37] <Lynoure> jasmin_: no idea, like I said, I usually steer clear of these. But I know firmware versions can differ in ways that affect how they work with linux
[11:38] <gladier> ActionParsnip:fixed it kcontrol went to window settings and some how compiz had unchecked the show window list on switching windows.. from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588519
[11:38] <jasmin_> Lynoure: :(
[11:38] <xushi> hi all
[11:39] <xushi> can someone please recommend me a good Dockbar like the one on OSX that works with KDE ?
[11:39] <emilsedgh> xushi: ksmoothdock or kooldock
[11:41] <xushi> thanks a lot!
[11:42] <Lynoure> jasmin_: most usb modems are not just very linux-friendly. But some people have gotten some airtel usb modem models to work, so maybe there is still hope.
[11:43] <gladier> speedtouch work great aswell
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> !kdocker | xushi

[11:43] <xushi> and which one works with Compiz too

[11:44] <xushi> argh! too many choices
[11:44] <jussi01> best by a long way IMHO
[11:44] <sub[t]rnl> didn't know avant worked in kde

[11:49] <ActionParsnip> DaveyD, sweet :)
[11:49] <DaveyD> none of the fancy 3d stuff is enabled
[11:49] <DaveyD> how do i turn that on
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> DaveyD, can you run glxgears?
[11:50] <DaveyD> hmm where do i find it
[11:50] <ardchoille> DaveyD: You mean compiz?
[11:50] <jussi01> !compiz
[11:50] <ubotu> 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
[11:50] <DaveyD> oh
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> DaveyD, you can run konsole or you can find run program in your menu
[11:50] <onishidato> HHarry: are you there?
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> jussi01, i just wanna find out if he has 3d accel
[11:51] <DaveyD> i'm quite new to the linux desktop, ive only every used linux via ssh
[11:51] <DaveyD> *ever
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> DaveyD, get a propt u pand type glxgears
[11:51] <jussi01> ActionParsnip: yeah, but I think the wiki page takes care of that ;)
[11:51] <DaveyD> ok
[11:51] <onishidato> ActionParsmip:
[11:52] <onishidato> ActionParsmip: do you remember about the login desktop? i did but it still not working
[11:52] <ubuntu__> buntu@ubuntu:~$ glxgears
[11:52] <ubuntu__> gdbm fatal: lseek error
[11:52] <ubuntu__> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
[11:53] <ubuntu__> btw, my graphics card is ATI x1600
[11:53] <xushi> strange, the ksmoothdock .deb package i got says it depends on kdelibs4 >=4:3.2.2, however it's not installed. checking in adept manager, It seems to be installed (kdelibs4c2a is the package name there)
[11:53] <ubuntu__> so i assume hardware accellation should work
[11:53] <gladier> ubuntu__: livecd or installed?
[11:54] <ubuntu__> liveced
[11:54] <ubuntu__> -e
[11:54] <gladier> are you planning to install?
[11:54] <ubuntu__> possibly
[11:54] <ubuntu__> not yet tho
[11:54] <ubuntu__> i wanna try it out first
[11:55] <ubuntu__> its between sabayon and kubuntu
[11:56] <gladier> sabayon is nice ... very nice - however when you start updating stuff it starts to get a little messy with configs and the like - and ive found that most dependancies arent listed in ebuilds - which REALLY annoys me
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> xushi, is it not in the rpositorys?
[11:56] <xushi> ActionParsnip: no, i couldn't find it
[11:56] <ubuntu__> ic

[11:57] <ActionParsnip> xushi, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KSmoothDock?action=show&redirect=Montanamax%2FKSmoothDock
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> xushi, actually dont bother with that
[11:57] <gladier> iirc your going to need to setup xgl and use propritary drivers @ ubuntu__
[11:57] <ubuntu__> i see
[11:57] <romunov_> how do i choose a helper application in firefox (i'm looking for kpdf) to open directly from the url?
[11:58] <ubuntu__> was was just expecting it to work of the cd
[11:58] <romunov_> it opens up a directory browser and i'm stuck - i don't know which file to choose
[11:58] <gladier> sabayon has a custom app to setup xgl
[11:58] <gladier> they cheat :)
[11:58] <ubuntu__> yeah
[11:58] <ubuntu__> so isnt it possible to enable accellation via livecd?
[11:59] <romunov_> never mind... /usr/bin...
[11:59] <ubuntu__> kubuntu's GUI is nicer
[11:59] <HdB> exit
[12:00] <gladier> ubuntu__: it is - just involves a little bit of fiddling
[12:00] <ubuntu__> ok
[12:00] <gladier> !make-jpkg

[12:00] <gladier> whats the name of the silly package?
[12:01] <Lynoure> hmmm... silly package?
[12:01] <ilya> ppl, somebody knows how to tune konqueror to play the Flash ??
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> xushi, kiba-dock is good. should be in repos
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> xushi, http://taufanlubis.wordpress.com/2007/11/27/how-to-install-kiba-dock-in-ubuntu-gutsy/
[12:02] <jussi01> !flash | ilya
[12:02] <ubotu> ilya: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[12:02] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[12:02] <ubuntu__> whats the default admin password
[12:02] <xushi> i'm just confused to this ksmoothdoc's output
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> xushi, whats it say?
[12:11] <xushi> 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] <xushi> ksmoothdock's parabolic mode messes up its background during the zooming.. and there's no transparency from what i see
[12:13] <xushi> nm the transparency,, it's the parabolic zoom that's problematic
[12:13] <tekteen>  ubuntu_: you still here?
[12:14] <ubuntu__> yes
[12:15] <tekteen> ubuntu__: the admin password is your password
[12:15] <ubuntu__> ah, try everything but that, thanks
[12:15] <tekteen> np
[12:16] <ubuntu__> "your password" yes
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> xushi, i'd try kiba-dock. i used it when i was playing with eyecandy but it was a phase
[12:21] <tekteen> ubuntu__: huh?
[12:22] <tekteen> ubuntu__: what are you trying to do (I was afk)
[12:22] <xushi> hehe, will do ActionParsnip
[12:23] <jussi01> xushi: i still strongly recomend avant
[12:24] <xushi> i'm trying them all now tbh, and ye[ i'll also try avant too
[12:24] <ubuntu__> just try to configure monitor setup for dual
[12:24] <tekteen> ubuntu__: and your pass. did not work for the admin pass?
[12:25] <ubuntu__> i did not set a pass
[12:25] <gladier> ubuntu__: what are you trying to achieve?
[12:25] <ubuntu__> lower res on the 2nd monitor
[12:25] <ubuntu__> its out of range at the moment
[12:25] <gladier> k .. so your trying to do something as root? via sudo, su or kdesu??
[12:26] <tekteen> gladier: I think the button in system settings (kdesu)
[12:26] <ubuntu__> yeah sys settings
[12:26] <sonja> 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 ?
[12:27] <gladier> ubuntu__: if its kdesu its asking for your users password
[12:27] <ubuntu__> doesnt work anyway, monitor & display mode could not be loaded
[12:27] <gladier> since your on the livecd the password should be ubuntu
[12:27] <ubuntu__> ah
[12:27] <ubuntu__> mode=mod
[12:28] <tekteen> gladier: he is on the the live cd?
[12:28] <gladier> yep
[12:28] <xushi> jussi01: do you have any tutorials on how to install Avant manager ?
[12:28] <xushi> or what the package is called if it's in the repo
[12:28] <tekteen> ok
[12:28] <ardchoille> gladier: Since when does the livecd need a password. using sudo has never asked for a passwd on any livecd I've used
[12:28] <ubuntu__> library files for "libpython2.5.so" not found in path
[12:28] <gladier> kdesu might be different *shrug* .. either way its asking for the password and i gave it to him :)
[12:29] <ardchoille> ok
[12:29] <ubuntu__> ardchoille: the monitor & display module said i need root access to make changes
[12:29] <jussi01>  /nicklist screen
[12:31] <ubuntu__> btw, "ubuntu" does not work for root password
[12:32] <gladier> then goto a term and type passwd
[12:32] <gladier> hold on
[12:32] <gladier> type whoami
[12:32] <gladier> maybe the username is kubuntu, in which case the password is kubuntu
[12:32] <tekteen> ubuntu__: hove you tried nothing?
[12:32] <jussi01> xushi: 1 moment, ill go grab the info
[12:32] <xushi> thanks for the help
[12:32] <ubuntu__> tekteen:  i'll try that
[12:33] <tekteen> have*
[12:33] <ubuntu__> didnt work
[12:33] <tekteen> ubuntu__: open a konsole
[12:33] <ubuntu__> no one know the default pass for root ?
[12:33] <ubuntu__> i'm in the konsole
[12:33] <ardchoille> ubuntu__: There isn't one
[12:33] <tekteen> ubuntu__: type passwd
[12:33] <tekteen> set a password
[12:33] <tekteen> then try
[12:33] <jussi01> xushi: https://edge.launchpad.net/awn
[12:33] <ubuntu__> ok
[12:33] <ubuntu__> but that wont set the root pass
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_, on the live cd first boot there is no password. if you type passwd you can set one
[12:34] <xushi> jussi01: excellent, thanks, gonna check it out now
[12:34] <gladier> it isnt asking for the root pass .. its asking for YOUR pass because the root password is currently infinitely complex
[12:34] <ubuntu__> i'm logged in as ubuntu
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu__, there is no root pass, you use your own to give you power
[12:34] <ubuntu__> i'm tryinf to su root
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu__, there isnt even a root account on your syste at present
[12:35] <gladier> ubuntu__: sudo
[12:35] <ubuntu__> ok
[12:35] <ardchoille> ActionParsnip: There is a root account, it's just locked
[12:35] <ubuntu__> i see
[12:35] <gladier> infinitely complex :)
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu__, you type sudo for cli commands (cp, mv, apt-get etc) and kdesu for graphical apps (like kate)
[12:36] <ubuntu__> ah
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu__, this will allow the app you run to have full power. you dont need root
[12:36] <ubuntu__> btw, theres a problem with the monitor & display module
[12:36] <ubuntu__> it says it couldnt be loaded
[12:37] <ubuntu__> because libpython not found
[12:38] <ubuntu__> all the other modules work fine
[12:38] <gladier> your the only one with that problem
[12:39] <ubuntu__> strange
[12:39] <gladier> maybe reinstall python2.5
[12:39] <ubuntu__> i'm on livecd remember
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu__, whats the error you get?
[12:40] <ubuntu__> diagnostics is libpython2.5.so not found in path
[12:40] <xushi> how can i find out if a package is installed or not through apt-cache ?
[12:41] <ardchoille> xushi: apt-cache policy package_name
[12:41] <ubuntu__> i'm using the live dvd
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> xushi, sudo apt-get install libpython
[12:42] <gladier> nope
[12:42] <gladier> that package doesnt contain that file
[12:42] <gladier> python2.5-dev
[12:42] <sonja> anybody knows how to fix missing symbols in openoffice 2.3 ? instead text like new, open, blod, underline, etc is displayed
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> sonja, do you mean in file, edit,view etc?
[12:42] <gladier> ubuntu__: sudo apt-get install python2.5-dev
[12:43] <ubuntu__> cant install anything, just using live dvd
[12:43] <sonja> ActionParsnip: yes
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu__, you can. you have a ramdrive in your ram
[12:44] <ubuntu__> ah
[12:45] <tekteen> ubuntu__: any file you edit is put into ram
[12:45] <ubuntu__> ok, understand, like a layer that intercepts hhd writes?
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> sonja, http://www.kde-forum.org/artikel/13660/menu-button-icons-missing-again.html may apply
[12:46] <sonja> ActionParsnip:  ?
[12:46] <sonja> ah
[12:46] <sonja> thanks
[12:46] <ubuntu__> *hdd
[12:46] <sonja> -i check
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu__, not really, a ramdrive gets created and mounted as a drive, thats all
[12:47] <ubuntu__> ok
[12:49] <ubuntu__> but there must be some sort of enhanced write filter so that programs that try to write to the DVD write to ram instead
[12:49] <DaDaedalus> !flash
[12:49] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[12:49] <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.
[12:49] <sonja> maybe it is not a kde but an ttf-opensymbol prob ?
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu__, why? The dvd is mounted at a different point
[12:51] <ubuntu__> ok i see
[12:52] <ubuntu__> so the apps are running from the ram disk and not directly from the dvd ?
[12:52] <gladier> sort of
[12:52] <ubuntu__> ok understand now
[12:53] <gladier> the dvd has a squashfs - this is mounted as a loop device, and any changes made are just temporarily stored in memory
[12:53] <ubuntu__> ah
[13:03] <sonja> toolbarbuttons in ooffice 2.3  still lost - where can they be ?
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> sonja, i cant find anythng really. I'll keep looking
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> sonja, can you do a screengrab so we can see your screen please
[13:06] <icewaterman> anyone using the open source r300 driver with ubunut?
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> sonja, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-419679.html
[13:07] <icewaterman> googleearth is painfully slow and has severe texture malfunctions with that one
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> icewaterman, glxinfo | grep direct
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> icewaterman, do you have direct enable
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> *direct rendering
[13:11] <icewaterman> http://home.arcor.de/irc-stuff/pics/googleearth_r300.png
[13:11] <icewaterman> ActionParsnip: direct is enabled
[13:11] <icewaterman> yes
[13:12] <Gocoo> hello
[13:12] <icewaterman> and it works with other 3d stuff, just googleearth seems to be bitching. if it is a problem with the driver, then it is a regression, because googleearth did work before with debian (older version of the driver/xorg of course)
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> icewaterman, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> icewaterman, id email googleearth to see whats what
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> icewaterman, maybe theres a setting you need to modify in googleearth
[13:14] <Gocoo> I have problem, how to set default aplications...if I open something in midnight commander, it will open in bad program..
[13:15] <icewaterman> ActionParsnip: one strange thing is also that xorg crashes when i run xvinfo. xv works fine though
[13:17] <Gocoo> has anybody sollution for my problem?
[13:20] <Gocoo> pls...
[13:20] <Gocoo> how to set defaul aps?
[13:22] <nicoduck> hiho
[13:22] <nicoduck> can anyone help me qith compiling software?
[13:23] <nicoduck> I wanted to compile ipodslave and with this i need libqtpod
[13:23] <sigma_> how do i run a .jar program in kubuntu? i tried clicking on it but it opens in Ark and the program doesn't start
[13:24] <nicoduck> maybe over the terminal?
[13:25] <Gocoo> must type java file.jar ?
[13:26] <firecrotch> nicoduck:  why compile something that is in the repos?
[13:26] <nicoduck> because the rpos version is too old
[13:26] <nicoduck> it isn't working with my ipod classic and I hope that the new version will fix this problem
[13:27] <sigma_> thats not good. it gave a error. worked on windows with sun java. how do i install that?
[13:29] <firecrotch> nicoduck:  what version is in the repos?
[13:29] <nicoduck> 0.7.3-ubuntu4
[13:30] <firecrotch> wow that *is* old
[13:30] <nicoduck> I tried to compile 0.8pre2
[13:30] <thomas__> hi
[13:31] <firecrotch> nicoduck:  and what was the problem?
[13:32] <nicoduck> the ./configure always quits with "configure: error: *** libqtpod >= 0.4.1 not found."
[13:32] <nicoduck> and that is strange
[13:32] <nicoduck> I downloaded the libqtpod package from sourceforge (version 9.4.2)
[13:32] <nicoduck> and compiled it
[13:33] <nicoduck> it created /libqtpod and filled it with some data
[13:33] <nicoduck> but ipodslave quits with the same error as efore
[13:33] <firecrotch> perhaps you need to pass some kind of argument to ./configure to tell it where you have libqtpod installed
[13:34] <nicoduck> and that's ma problem
[13:34] <nicoduck> 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] <Gocoo> pls....how to set default aplications for some type of files?
[13:34] <nicoduck> or more an informatin
[13:35] <firecrotch> well now, that's way over my head, nicoduck
[13:35] <nicoduck> ok^^
[13:35] <Gocoo> ...pls>
[13:36] <nicoduck> ./configure --help gives me a lot of parameters to define paths, but nothing about libqtpod
[13:36] <Gocoo> nicoduck: pls do you know how set default aplications?
[13:36] <nicoduck> no
[13:36] <firecrotch> nicoduck:  what kind of problem are you having with the repo version of ipodslave ?  maybe there's an easier solution than compiling from source
[13:37] <nicoduck> it alwys quits with an error message when I type in 'ipod:/' and have my classic connected
[13:37] <firecrotch> whats the error message?
[13:38] <nicoduck> mom
[13:38] <ksal> hi
[13:38] <ksal> how can I set $QTDIR in my kubuntu?
[13:38] <ksal> i need to compile something :)
[13:41] <nicoduck> it quits with "unknown Tag found! stop parsing"
[13:42] <nicoduck> 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] <nicoduck> older ipods are working (e.g. the 5th gen video)
[13:43] <firecrotch> that sounds reasonable
[13:43] <nicoduck> jep
[13:47] <nicoduck> but I'm not good enough in scripting to find out y myself in wich path the script is searching for libqtpod
[13:48] <pag> ksal, as any other variable... export WHATEVER=something
[13:51] <firecrotch> nicoduck:  I'm taking a look at the configure script right now
[13:51] <nicoduck> ok, thanks
[13:55] <firecrotch> nicoduck:  it looks to me (not an expert here) as if it's just looking in your $PATH
[13:55] <nicoduck> ok
[14:14] <nicoduck> hmm, ut copying the /libqtpod to a dir named in $PATH doesn't help as well
[14:16] <gladier> nicoduck - pastebin the error message again please
[14:17] <nicoduck> the same error as above
[14:17] <nicoduck> "configure: error: *** libqtpod >= 0.4.1 not found."
[14:17] <nicoduck> (to short for pastebin ;-)
[14:18] <gladier> echo $path
[14:19] <gladier> hmm
[14:19] <gladier> echo #PATH
[14:19] <gladier> echo $PATH **
[14:20] <nicoduck>  /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[14:20] <nicoduck> I copied /libqtpod to /usr/local/sbin/libqtpod
[14:21] <nicoduck> and the same error occured again
[14:21] <biovore> shouldn't libraries go into /usr/shared/lib or something..
[14:32] <icewaterman> hm, now i disabled aiglx
[14:32] <icewaterman> however now googleearth wont work accelerated at all
[14:33] <icewaterman> direct rendering is still enabled but googleearth only wants to do opengl software emulation
[14:36] <IT_Officer> I could i get kubuntu on a 8 core pc ?
[14:37] <chazco> Hi... after creating 2 .desktops (one for the menu, one for a mime type) how can I make KDE re-read them without having to logout and back in? On Gnome I use update-mime-database, but can find a KDE equiv command...
[14:38] <icewaterman> 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
[14:39] <ubuntu__> hhhhiiiiiii
[14:49] <IT_Officer> icewaterman, sorry, ok, i will be using it for blender..
[14:49] <IT_Officer> heavy rendering
[14:49] <IT_Officer> icewaterman, what would you advice ?
[14:55] <icewaterman> IT_Officer: is blender capable of multithreading?
[14:55] <icewaterman> i am not sure about that
[14:56] <icewaterman> 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] <IT_Officer> icewaterman, ah.. what a shame if it does not..
[15:04] <IT_Officer> icewaterman, i will check on it. Does the dvd have a smp kernel 0n it ?
[15:04] <icewaterman> IT_Officer: blender was some 3d rendering software, right?
[15:04] <IT_Officer> icewaterman, Its a 3d desinging and animation software
[15:05] <icewaterman> IT_Officer: this article says http://wbs.nsf.tc/articles/article8_e.html
[15:05] <icewaterman> it can do 2 threads
[15:05] <icewaterman> that means 2 processors will be used. however that article is kinda old, maybe newer versions can do better
[15:07] <icewaterman> 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] <Sylphid|work> how do i delete a cached kde session so it starts fresh on reboot?
[15:08] <IT_Officer> noo :(

[15:56] <|Quest|>  which distro is best to make my pc a server ?
[15:56] <sylvain_TPE> Quest: it depends of what you want to use the server to
[15:57] <|Quest|> web
[15:57] <|Quest|> shell
[15:57] <sylvain_TPE> But with many distribs you can get a server CD
[15:57] <|Quest|> c
[15:57] <sylvain_TPE> if it's for the web and not a home server, it must be secure
[15:58] <|Quest|> yes
[15:58] <|Quest|> so whats the best option
[15:58] <sylvain_TPE> BSD if you know
[15:58] <BluesKaj> !server
[15:58] <ubotu> Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI.

[16:00] <|Quest|> BluesKaj well thats in *buntu.. any other or its your favourit?
[16:01] <sylvain_TPE> Quest: I think ubuntu is not the best for a server, it's better for the beginners in Linux
[16:01] <BluesKaj> |Quest|, dunno , I don't use a server
[16:02] <sylvain_TPE> Quest: you should search for a version of GNU/Linux *especially* designed for a server, it must exists

[16:04] <sylvain_TPE> sigma_123: *buntu is not designed to use as a server, so it may not be the better choice
[16:04] <sigma_123> huh?
[16:05] <sigma_123> oh i see
[16:05] <sylvain_TPE> sigma_123: what ?
[16:05] <sigma_123> nm didnt understand what u said
[16:07] <BluesKaj> sylvain_TPE, there is an ubuntu-server distro and if you haven't used it , don't give advice about it
[16:08] <patrick_> hello
[16:09] <patrick_> I could use some help with amarok after an update it's not starting anymore
[16:10] <kdrlx> this probably might have been asked umpteen times here .. but here goes .. why doesn't kubuntu use Koffice instead of openOffice.org ? Its lightweight and feature-enough for desktop use ..
[16:14] <Sylphid|work> how do i delete a cached kde session so it starts fresh on reboot?
[16:16] <sylvain_TPE> Max_TPE: youhou ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
[16:17] <jpatrick> sylvain_TPE: please don't do that
[16:21] <Max_TPE> sylvain_TPE > PV
[16:23] <BluesKaj> Sylphid|work, do you mean locked session ?
[16:24] <Sylphid|work> BluesKaj: no i just want to remove all my running gui apps when i log in
[16:24] <Sylphid|work> reason is i have a problem with knetworkmanager
[16:25] <Sylphid|work> its stuck with my ethernet device being connected
[16:25] <Sylphid|work> even though the cable is unplugged
[16:26] <Sylphid|work> or if i could clear the knetworkmanager cache files that would work as well
[16:26] <Sylphid|work> but im not sure where they are located
[16:26] <Sylphid|work> im asuming ~/ something
[16:31] <patrick_> does someone know if there'S a problem with amarok, because when I upgrade/update it with adept updater it didn't start anymore, any thoughts?
[16:32] <Lynoure> patrick_: if you start if from commandline, any errors/messages?
[16:33] <patrick_> havedn't tried that I'm kind of new to kubuntu
[16:35] <sylvain_TPE> Max_TPE: t'es là ?
[16:35] <patrick_> how do I do that exactely? sudo /usr/etc/amarok?
[16:36] <Max_TPE> OUi :)
[16:36] <jussi01> patrick_: just type amarok from the command line
[16:36] <sylvain_TPE> patrick: if the problem appeared after an update, you can try to remove this version of amarok and install another version
[16:36] <sylvain_TPE> patrick_: see man aptitude for more details
[16:37] <sylvain_TPE> Max_TPE: on peut pas chatter en privé ici je crois (t'as pas reçu mon mail ?)
[16:37] <Lynoure> patrick_: just    amarok

[16:44] <jussi01> (ie. Im ssh'ed in to the server a thome, and left my work ssh on... i want to kill it)
[16:46] <knoppix> hello, I reinstalled apache2 php5 and mysql on a machine, but why does apache2 keeps treating php files as ordanary files?
[16:47] <jawee> hey, I'm having a problem with Gusty on my laptop
[16:47] <jawee> Feisty never had this issue. Every time I leave my laptop for about an hour, when I go back to it is frozen
[16:48] <jawee> there is no screensaver or powersaving options enabled, though I get the same results whether I leave it up or locked
[16:48] <jawee> otherwise working fine with everything out of the box
[16:48] <jawee> It's a Dell Inspiron 1501 if that matters
[16:49] <jussi01> jawee: can you give us a few more specs?
[16:50] <jawee> jussi01: AMD Turion 64 X2 @ 1.8GHz, 1GB of RAM, CD-RW/DVD-ROM Cobo, Broadcom bcm43xx wireless
[16:51] <jussi01> jawee: try adding noapic nolapic to the grub boot lines
[16:53] <sourcemaker> !vmware-player
[16:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vmware-player - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:53] <sourcemaker> !vmware
[16:53] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[16:54] <sourcemaker> How can I install the vmware-player
[16:54] <jawee> jussi01: thanks!
[16:54] <jussi01> jawee: Im not certain that will have any results, but its worth a try.
[16:55] <jussi01> !virtualizers
[16:55] <ubotu> There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications
[16:55] <sourcemaker> !VmWare
[16:55] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it.

[16:56] <jawee> I'll say I definitely recommend VirtualBox btw. gives me better preformance
[16:56] <sourcemaker> apt-cache search vmware... there is no package
[16:56] <jawee> sourcemaker: do you have the multiverse repo enabled?
[16:57] <sourcemaker> yes... I have
[16:57] <jawee> jussi01: Also, I don't know if you know what to do about this. Their is no boot screen. It's simply blank whilst I boot.
[16:57] <jussi01> jawee: sorry, no idea on that one.
[16:58] <jussi01> jawee: whats the graphics card on it?
[16:59] <jawee> jussi01: It's an ATI I know, but I'll need to run an lshw to find the model
[16:59] <jussi01> jawee: ahh, you have a very similar config to mine at work. Im pretty sure those grub options will work for you
[17:00] <jawee> jussi01: Okay. I'm looking into adding them. I've never really messed with grub that much, though I used to fiddle with lilo on my old laptop.
[17:00] <|Quest|> i was disconnected.     back...        so which distro is prefered in terms of security and stablitliy for a server (web, shell, etc)
[17:01] <sourcemaker> what's the name of the vmware repository url?
[17:01] <aleksanteri> debian.
[17:01] <jawee> |Quest|: I say Debian, but everyone will say something different.
[17:01] <jussi01> jawee: all good, its quite simple, when grub starts there is a something that tells you what key to press to edit the boot options.
[17:02] <|Quest|> jawee ic..  isnt there any special features. or speciality?
[17:02] <blekos> hello, I did a cut & paste on some files but the cut files remained on my desktop. Shouldn't have been completely removed?

[17:11] <lucky_lucas> jpatrick: lol
[17:12] <lucky_lucas> jpatrick: How can I be sure that kile uses texlive instead of tetex
[17:12] <jpatrick> djdarkman: installed libapache2-mod-php5?
[17:12] <jpatrick> lucky_lucas: don't know, I write my .tex files by hand
[17:13] <djdarkman> jpatrick: yes, that`s why I don`t understand why this doesn`t work
[17:13] <jpatrick> djdarkman: maybe it's your confg
[17:13] <djdarkman> jpatrick: didn`t touch it
[17:13] <lucky_lucas> jpatrick: Then how can I be sure that pdflatex uses texlive
[17:14] <djdarkman> sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 apache2
[17:14] <djdarkman> libapache2-mod-php5 is already the newest version.
[17:14] <djdarkman> apache2 is already the newest version.
[17:14] <jpatrick> lucky_lucas: use: texi2pdf
[17:15] <lucky_lucas> jpatrick: Arf ok

[17:15] <jpatrick> Catalin1234: I do not have a dchp connection sorry
[17:16]  * genii sips his coffee
[17:17] <Catalin1234> although initially the my wired network was working, after I changed from DHCP to the manual IP address that I usually have the KNetworkManager shows "No active device"... I tried switching back to DHCP but the KNetworkManager showed the same thing. Initially it showed my IP address... and everything as normal...
[17:17] <Catalin1234> i don't want to use DHCP
[17:18] <Catalin1234> i want to use my usual static IP
[17:19] <genii> Catalin1234: The best practice for this scenario is to use dhcp on the router but assign always the same ip by mac address

[17:20] <djdarkman> ohhh man this is realy frustrating, it`s started to feel like in windows, how can I make apache say why doesn`t it process php files?
[17:21] <jussi01> !lamp
[17:21] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)

[17:55] <sub[t]rnl> sudo mkswap /dev/hda(whatever)
[17:55] <sub[t]rnl> sudo swapon /dev/hda(whatever)
[17:55] <ScorpKing> i've changes fstab so it doesn't use the UUID but still nothing. did sudo mkswap /dev/sda3 and no errors
[17:56] <sub[t]rnl> then do swapon
[17:56] <sbucat>  anyone can tell me if in his machine this works ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=652843 i have a little problem with installer ...and someone with downloading

[17:56] <sourcemaker> kwalletmanager does not work... too
[17:56] <moriancumer> Can I run KDE4 along side KDE 3.x? If I just sudo apt-get install kdebase-bin kdebase-workspace kdebase-kde4 kdebase-runtime
[17:57] <sourcemaker> it seems... that there is a problem with KDE Wallet... how can I fix?
[17:57] <moriancumer> will KDE 3.x break
[17:57] <ScorpKing> ok. sudo swapon /dev/sda but mount shows nothing. it shows in free though. thanks sub[t]rnl. :) hope it mounts during the next boot. heh
[18:06] <sub[t]rnl> ScorpKing➜ me too :>
[18:06] <ScorpKing> :)
[18:06] <sub[t]rnl> if it doesn't, do swapon -a in a bootscript
[18:08] <sourcemaker> kde wallet is not working... what's wrong...??????
[18:08] <sub[t]rnl> sourcemaker➜ run it from konsole, see what it complains about
[18:08] <sourcemaker> I had a kernel panic... after that nothing is working... kontact, kopete, kdewalletmanager
[18:08] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: I tried... no output... no window...
[18:09] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: kcontrol and kde wallet... endless-loop
[18:09] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: nothing is working when kde wallet is required...
[18:09] <sub[t]rnl> so you get a kernel panic on boot
[18:09] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: no... while working
[18:10] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: help help help :-) I can't working now
[18:10] <sub[t]rnl> yeah, your in some serious trouble
[18:11] <sub[t]rnl> do you remember what happened to cause it? Did you rebuild your kernel? or use a newer one?
[18:12] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: no... it's the default ubuntu kernel: kwalletmanager
[18:12] <sourcemaker> 2.6.22-14-generic
[18:12] <nosrednaekim> or load another kernel module?
[18:12] <sourcemaker> no-- nvidia is disabled
[18:12] <sourcemaker> but first of all... I need kdewallet working! :-)
[18:13] <sub[t]rnl> so the kernel panics only when using kdewalletmanager?
[18:13] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: no... but I can't reproduces... but after the kernel panic... kde wallet is not working...
[18:13] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: I was working fine.. 3 minutes ago
[18:14] <sub[t]rnl> reinstall kdewalletmanager
[18:14] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: how?
[18:14] <sub[t]rnl> sudo apt-get install --reinstall kwalletmanager
[18:17] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: no changes... same probleme
[18:17] <sub[t]rnl> whats the exact error your getting
[18:18] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: there is the problem... there is no problem shown
[18:18] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: no error message
[18:18] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: when I open kcontrol and go to kwallet... the module hangs... without response
[18:19] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: stable software!
[18:19] <ScorpKing> sourcemaker: run kcontrol from konsole and keep it visible in the backgroud to see if something shows
[18:21] <sourcemaker> ScorpKing: what's the command... kcontrol opens the window and termines thes console thread
[18:21] <ScorpKing> heh. let me check
[18:22] <sourcemaker> --nofork :-)
[18:22] <ScorpKing> if i open konsole (terminal) and type kcontrol it opens
[18:22] <sub[t]rnl> sourcemaker➜ what happens when you run kwalletmanager from konsole?
[18:23] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: no response... seems like a endless-loop
[18:23] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: there is no output on the console
[18:23] <sub[t]rnl> do you see the icon in your system tray?
[18:23] <sub[t]rnl> for the wallet?
[18:23] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: the window freeze...
[18:23] <sub[t]rnl> what window? konsole?
[18:23] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: no... the kde window of kcontrol
[18:24] <ScorpKing> maybe the wallet is broken
[18:24] <sub[t]rnl> i'm not asking you to use kcontrol
[18:24] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: the console does not show any error messages
[18:24] <sub[t]rnl> run "kwalletmanager" from konsole
[18:24] <vlt> Hello. 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? --output of `top`: http://pastebin.ca/844996
[18:24] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: the same problem starting kwalletmanager from konsole
[18:24] <sub[t]rnl> then look for the wallet in your system tray
[18:24] <sub[t]rnl> ps ax|grep kwallet
[18:24] <sub[t]rnl> see if its running
[18:24] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: the tray is not visble...
[18:25] <sub[t]rnl> sourcemaker➜ you don't have kicker running?
[18:25] <sourcemaker> sub[t]rnl: yes.. I have running... but the kwalletmanager does not start normal... it still hangs and freezes

[18:43] <catalin> hello people, it's me again (catalin1234)

[18:44] <Demonho-br> its a verb !
[18:44] <catalin> it seems that the internet is working, but the KNewtorkManger shows "No active device"
[18:44] <catalin> can anyone tell me why this is happening
[18:45] <nosrednaekim> catalin: cause Knetworkmangler is buggy ;)
[18:46] <knights> I've spooned my cupsd.conf file up trying to get cups lan sharing to work under gutsy. Now my printer is seen on the network but I can't print to it on any machine now as it says 'Printer Not Connected' but it is connected
[18:46] <catalin> okey... so i'll just ignore it
[18:46] <catalin> tx
[18:47] <sourcemaker> I am confused... restarting the system solves the kwallet problem...
[18:47] <nosrednaekim> knights: lan sharing is simple... you can do it from kprinter....
[18:49] <Demonho-br> hello
[18:49] <Demonho-br> someone want to chat with a Stranger ?
[18:49] <Demonho-br> :D

[18:54] <ferro> hello everyone. I am a newby at Linux and I can't get my webcam to work. I really need some help.
[18:55] <knights> nosrednaekim: So whats the name of the prog I need to use to set up cups print sharing?
[18:55] <nosrednaekim> !webcam
[18:55] <ubotu> Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[18:55] <nosrednaekim> knights: system settings-> printers
[18:56] <knights> nosrednaekim: Is that the same as running kcontrol, then going to printers?
[18:56] <knights> (I'm under GNOME)
[18:57] <nosrednaekim> knights: run "systemsettings"
[18:57] <nosrednaekim> though I think it probably is the same tool.
[19:00] <ferro> Thank you for the links, but I already try the things at the first link. Nothing worked, needer camorama, xawtv or easycam. I don't realy know which driver I should install manually (using acer aspira 5720 with gutsy gibbon). I my webcam (acer crystal eye) does not appear at the list in the second link.
[19:01] <nosrednaekim> ferro: run "lspci" and see if you can find the exact model of the webcam
[19:03] <tlayton> iRon,Lure: kdm-kde4, a few bugs here, logging in to kde3&kde4 just produced a terminal window, all accounts were listed in the garbled looking list, and it said 'welcome to debian' instead of 'kubuntu'
[19:04] <nosrednaekim> if it looks garbled and messy... its kde4 ;)
[19:04] <tlayton> also, unlike kdm, kdm-kde4 didn't remember the last user login name
[19:04] <VampireKing> how to open rar file with password ?
[19:07] <Dr_willis> VampireKing,  i think you might best use 'winrar.exe' and wine for that.
[19:08] <Dr_willis> Im not sure the unrar tools have a password feature. you could check their man pages however.
[19:08] <VampireKing> no other options ?
[19:09] <sub[t]rnl> unrar?
[19:09] <Dr_willis> Command line tools.. check the docs.. or wine and winrar.exe
[19:09] <Dr_willis> I am unsure if unrar supports passwords or not.
[19:09] <sub[t]rnl> it does
[19:10] <Dr_willis> the only password protected rar's ive ever seen are from... well... lets not go there... :)
[19:10] <sub[t]rnl> lol
[19:10] <sub[t]rnl> VampireKing➜ unrar -p <password> pron.rar
[19:11] <Dr_willis> heh - wouldent that make the passowrd seen in the 'ps ' output ?
[19:11] <Dr_willis> that could be considered a security issue.
[19:11] <seezer> Dr_willis: c'mon.. you suggested wine and winrar..
[19:12] <Dr_willis> seezer,  so. :)
[19:12] <sub[t]rnl> theres already a buffer overflow in unrar anywho
[19:12] <Dr_willis> whos idea was it to use RAR :)
[19:12] <Dr_willis> not mine. :P
[19:12] <ScorpKing> heh
[19:12] <seezer> but history -c exists ;)
[19:12] <Dr_willis> its probery an rar of a bunch of zips. that are then put together to make a iso., that contains ace files. :)
[19:12] <linxa> hi
[19:13] <Dr_willis> which then has more rars
[19:13] <linxa> is it possible to configurate kubuntu with the next configuration?
[19:13] <seezer> Dr_willis: ;)
[19:13] <Dr_willis> linxa,  clarify that question a bit.
[19:13]  * sub[t]rnl rubs his temples
[19:13] <linxa> if i log on my server
[19:14] <linxa> i can change my password many times
[19:14] <linxa> i need tah my server let me change my password one tinme per session
[19:14] <noaXess> good evening all
[19:14] <noaXess> !backup
[19:14] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[19:14] <linxa> is it possible?
[19:15] <Dr_willis> linxa,  proberly is.. but not sure why you are doing this song and dance.
[19:15] <jussi01> jawee: excellent :D
[19:15] <Dr_willis> linxa,  ive seen all sorts of  password 'tricks'
[19:16] <linxa> it´s for security
[19:16] <Dr_willis> I dont see how changing your password all the time makes it more secure.
[19:16] <linxa> yeha
[19:16] <linxa> yeah
[19:16] <Dr_willis> There are one-time-use password systems that you can use. Ive seen articals on them
[19:17] <Dr_willis> But never used any of those.
[19:17] <linxa> but, in my servers, there are many users that change the password more than twice
[19:17] <Dr_willis> Now you are gettint more clear on what you want..
[19:17] <Dr_willis> but im still not sure why this is a problem for the users.
[19:18] <BluesKaj> 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] <Dr_willis> a read of the passwd command man pages..has some options you may want to look into.
[19:19] <Dr_willis> 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] <Dr_willis>            his/her password at any time.
[19:19] <Dr_willis> -m, --mindays MIN_DAYS

[19:42] <ScorpKing> i have a nvidia geforce fx5200 and it's been working for a long time until today. no updates done and re-install does not fix it. how can i remove the binary driver and try the one in the repo's?
[19:43] <Ymdar> You might be...well. Actually I wanted to ask stupid questions and was almost saying I was a n00b to linux in general but got the answer to the question I was about to ask just about the time I logged in here.
[19:44] <Voyage_> i installed wine because i planned on installing nlite, to shrink windows down (I want to install it onto my asus eee pc) i cannot run nlite now and wine is not able to install it...it always asks me to debug. any help?

[19:48] <gauravvijay> why does ./.bashrc says permission denied, but source ./.bashrc works?
[19:51] <voonte> gauravvijay: ./.bashrc tries to execute the file, and you don't have execution permissions
[19:52] <jawee> gauravvijay: you have to do chmod +x to allow execution of a file, but you don't want to use that here. You want to read the file with more or less or open it with a text editor such as kate or nano

[20:08] <NickPresta> alex-baum, there is Kate, a great multiple purpose syntax highlighting editor. There is also Aptana (http://www.aptana.com/) which is a GREAT editor for JavaScript and HTML/CSS.
[20:08] <NickPresta> gauravvijay, permission denied when you're trying to do what?
[20:08] <gauravvijay> i tried $./.bashrc
[20:09] <gauravvijay> it happens when i try to pen a new shell as well
[20:10] <gauravvijay> NickPresta, all other scripts are working, and same bashrc was working earlier as well
[20:11] <NickPresta> gauravvijay, strange. I can execute .bashrc. What are it's permissions (ls -l .bashrc | awk '{print $1}')?
[20:11] <gauravvijay> NickPresta,executable
[20:12] <NickPresta> gauravvijay, and it's owned by you and your group?

[20:58] <roob> hello all.dolphin seems retarded and wont remember any of my settings...ie the view mode and to show hidden files. is there a way to perm set these?
[20:59] <roob> !dolphin
[20:59] <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.
[20:59] <Dr_willis> Dolphin is... well.. i wont go there. :)
[21:00] <roob> yea..i think i hate it lol
[21:00]  * tekteen likes konqueror
[21:00] <roob> yea ive been using knoquerorforever...
[21:00] <roob> why the switch to dolphin?
[21:01] <roob> is dolphin the new konqueror?
[21:01] <emilsedgh> no
[21:01] <roob> good
[21:01] <emilsedgh> dolphin is konquerors friend

[21:09] <ubuntu> how do i reformat a usb drive that i don't have write premission on?
[21:10] <wpk> you don't
[21:10] <ubuntu> why not?
[21:13] <Schuenemann> I can't see any output between GRUB and login. I inserted "nofb" in grub defoptions, but still the same
[21:13] <Dr_willis> If you cant write to it.. you cant write to it..
[21:14] <Dr_willis> Schuenemann,  i always use nofb and nosplash
[21:14] <sub[t]rnl> Schuenemann➜ remove splash in menu.list
[21:14] <Dr_willis> you did rerun 'update-grub' ?
[21:14] <Schuenemann> omfg
[21:14] <Schuenemann> Dr_willis: I forgot again!
[21:14] <Dr_willis> :)
[21:14] <Dr_willis> Its like the old LILO days!
[21:14] <Dr_willis> :)
[21:14] <Schuenemann> brb
[21:15] <Dr_willis> make a script that edits menu.lst then runs update-grub :)
[21:15] <Dr_willis> 'editgrub.sh' ==> sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst     sudo update-grub
[21:15] <Dr_willis> :P
[21:15] <zipper> Anyone know if there are any themes for amarok in the repositories?
[21:16] <ubuntu> Dr_willis: Why not?  I'm root.
[21:17] <Dr_willis> ubuntu,  then i would gues syou are doing somthing wrong.
[21:17] <Schuenemann> Dr_willis: thanks
[21:17] <Dr_willis> sub[t]rnl,  it rescans the #settings in menu.lst as far as i know. and rebuilds the menu.list according to it. I think the front of the menu.lst even mention it.
[21:18] <articpenguin3800> what file systems use delayed allocation
[21:19] <sub[t]rnl> no need to run update-grub unless you are wanting to generate a new default or scan for new kernel images
[21:19] <Dr_willis> or change the default settings for all the current kernels.
[21:19] <Dr_willis> unless thers somthing I missed.
[21:19] <sub[t]rnl> I make changes to boot options quite a bit, never use update-grub though
[21:20] <Dr_willis> 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.
[21:20] <sub[t]rnl> only when I fixed the framebuffer issues
[21:20] <Dr_willis> thats about all i do also. :)
[21:20] <Dr_willis> disable the fb, and splash, make the grub time out 30 sec. and purty colors.
[21:20] <sub[t]rnl> hehe
[21:20] <ubuntu> whats the password on the live cd?
[21:20] <Dr_willis> some times i uncomment the windows example. so windows is the first menu entry - and i can set the default to 0,
[21:20] <Dr_willis> for the wifes machine.
[21:21] <sub[t]rnl> I enable the framebuffer, no splash, and purty colors.  Gotta have my 1024x768 tty's
[21:21] <Dr_willis> They dont work too good for me on my machines.
[21:22] <Dr_willis> always have some quirk/issue with the fb's
[21:22] <sub[t]rnl> yup, same
[21:22] <sub[t]rnl> I had to un blacklist em, then update-initramfs to get the vga= option to work
[21:26] <Schuenemann> dolphin is weird
[21:26] <nosredna_ekim> heh
[21:26] <nosredna_ekim> thats an understatement
[21:26] <Schuenemann> heh
[21:26] <Schuenemann> it's UI is too confusing
[21:27] <Dr_willis> but its simpilfied! :)
[21:28] <Schuenemann> and it's only partially translated
[21:31] <Schuenemann> how to set konqueror as default file browser?
[21:31] <Dr_willis> !dolphin
[21:31] <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.
[21:32] <Schuenemann> thanks
[21:33] <ubuntu> what is the root password on the kubuntu live cd?
[21:34] <Schuenemann> ubuntu, I don't think there is one
[21:35] <zipper> ubuntu, in (k)ubuntu you want to use 'sudo' instead of switching to root as you usually would
[21:35] <nosredna_ekim> !root
[21:35] <ubotu> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

[21:43] <albankillapi> we have selected again the option "connect directly to the internet"
[21:43] <nosredna_ekim> albankillapi: and.... can you ping anything?
[21:44] <mith__> thanks again good night
[21:44] <albankillapi> no, I can't
[21:44] <nosredna_ekim> albankillapi: not even the router?
[21:44] <albankillapi> not even the router
[21:45] <nosredna_ekim> "ping 192.168.1.1"
[21:45] <albankillapi> there is another strange stuff: the list of disposable nets that is supposed to appear when you clic at knetworkmanager icon does not appear anymore
[21:46] <albankillapi> We are trying to use wireless
[21:47] <nosredna_ekim> albankillapi: ah....!
[21:47] <nosredna_ekim> well, its probably a wireless problem then

[21:49] <albankillapi> hey does anybody know how to go back to de default configuration for the network in knetworkmanager??????????????
[22:06] <sub[t]rnl> albankillapi➜ make sure there is nothing in your "/etc/network/interfaces" except auto lo auto eth0 auto eth1 (or whatever your wireless interface is called).  Whatever interface that is in here, knetworkmanager will configure.
[22:06] <sub[t]rnl> albankillapi➜ when your done, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

[22:17] <ilya> I have some problem with cardreader
[22:17] <ilya> can sb help ?
[22:20] <albankillapi> sub[t]rnl:  I did what you suggest, and after that I received this message: ignoring unknown network interface eth1=eth1

[22:20] <ilya> I hear that yeanta_cardbus can help me.... but I don't konw how to install it
[22:21] <th1> hi, 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]rnl> albankillapi➜ check ifconfig, or if your wanting information on your wireless device, iwconfig, and see if it has been assigned an ip
[22:21] <ilya> the problem is that the cardreader don't visible
[22:21] <ilya> when I put a card in it - there are no activicy (
[22:22] <genii> ilya: 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 on
[22:22] <albankillapi> sub[t]rnl It's solved!!! thanks you very much
[22:22] <sub[t]rnl> albankillapi➜ anytime

[22:25] <genii> ilya: This will tell us what make and model hopefuly for which to look for correct driver
[22:25] <th1> can anyone help on how to connect to WLAN (with WPA-PSK) at boot time instead of after I log in to KDE and KNetworkManager connects me?
[22:26] <genii> th1: Make some entry for the interface in the file /etc/network/interfaces
[22:27] <genii> th1: Anything you can pass to the interface by iwconfig at commadline can be used there
[22:29] <th1> genii, but does that work for WPA? I thought it only worked for WEP..
[22:29] <ilya> genii: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51141/
[22:29] <genii> th1: Good point, I use only a wep connection this way.
[22:29] <ubuntu> Hello
[22:29] <genii> th1: Should be worth a try though
[22:30] <genii> ilya: OK, reading
[22:30] <th1> genii, nah there is no option to set the WPA mode
[22:30] <ubuntu> Are you not able to use KDE in the server addition of ubuntu?
[22:32] <genii> ubuntu: Most certainly you can although it installs without any graphical desktop or so on by default
[22:33] <genii> ubuntu: You can do: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop         for example
[22:33] <genii> th1: :(
[22:34] <Schuenemann> I HATE when they change the interface without any reason
[22:34] <genii> ilya: As I look into this specific reader from ENE it looks like it required a kernel patch at the time of Ubuntu Feisty
[22:35] <[d-_-b]> the
[22:35] <NickPresta> [d-_-b], ?
[22:35] <ilya> genii: so if I upgrade my kubuntu 7.04 to kubuntu 7.10 it will work ?
[22:36] <genii> ilya: Possibly. If you have not much to lose by doing so I would recommend it
[22:37] <sub[t]rnl> th1➜ run wpa_supplicant in a boot script
[22:37] <ilya> genii: ok, thanks
[22:37] <genii> ilya: I found the bug report, let me look to see if it was resolved for kernels 2.6.22

[22:57] <Schuenemann> my GTK applications (firefox and thunderbird) are too big and don't fit my screen. What's wrong
[22:58] <genii> Schuenemann: do please: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf|grep Virtual
[22:58] <genii> Schuenemann: Is there some result?
[22:58] <Schuenemann> none
[22:59] <genii> Schuenemann: Most likely then you had previously a higher resolution set when you installed these applications
[22:59] <JasonTheGreat[NH> im a new kubuntu user any tips

[23:06] <FaiDillinGer> can someone please help me setup kbluetooth. i manage to send files to my phone but not from the phone to the computer. i just installed kubuntu 7.10 today

[23:07] <genii> Schuenemann: Interesting. I installed from the regular disk (ubuntu) then kubuntu-desktop and all the apps are correctly sized
[23:07] <Schuenemann> genii, I only noticed in firefox and thunderbird
[23:08] <genii> Schuenemann: Perhaps they are pulling their default resolution from somewhere that kde does not set
[23:09] <Schuenemann> ...
[23:10] <genii> Schuenemann: Out of all the possible resolutions you could set the screen to, is it currently set to some lower resolution than the xorg.conf would show could be possible?
[23:11] <Schuenemann> I'll see

[23:13] <genii> Schuenemann: I would suspect then that those apps are assuming 1280x1024 and not 1024x768
[23:13] <FaiDillinGer> when i type hcitool scan i can find my bluetooth device, but when i type sudo hidd --search , i do not get any results... can someone please help me setup bluetooth on my computer so that i can send files from a cell phone ?? thx
[23:14] <Schuenemann> genii, but it's not all big... in firefox's case, it's just one toolbar

[23:15] <phoenixz> !aptfix | phoenixz
[23:15] <wesley> why is deleting big files on ntsf a problem in kubuntu?
[23:16] <phoenixz> wesley, ntfs driver problem?
[23:16] <phoenixz> !apt-fix | phoenixz
[23:16] <Daisuke_Ido> same reason anything else in ntfs is a problem.  ntfs is a closed filesystem, all we have is reverse-engineered drivers, and they may not be (and probably are not) perfect
[23:16] <phoenixz> !apt-fix
[23:16] <ubotu> If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[23:17] <wesley> uh i can write and read and windows have i deleted
[23:17] <Daisuke_Ido> ...yes.
[23:17] <Daisuke_Ido> you CAN
[23:18] <Daisuke_Ido> but if problems crop up, deal with it
[23:18] <genii> Schuenemann: I'm about 90% that it has somehow to do with the fonts it's using
[23:18] <Daisuke_Ido> or use an open or better supported FS
[23:18] <wesley> i dont wanna lose al my files again and a home will become a mess
[23:18] <Kernel> i installed msttcorefonts and i get this at the end : http://pastebin.com/m516b10f1 ...could this be the reason why some text in wine isnt being displayed correctly?
[23:19] <genii> Schuenemann: Perhaps try gtkfontsel
[23:19] <Daisuke_Ido> convert to fat32 from within windows, i guess?  there is, of course, the 4gb filesize limit
[23:20] <wesley> i dont wanna install that big virus
[23:20] <Daisuke_Ido> what, windows?
[23:20] <Schuenemann> Daisuke_Ido, lol
[23:21] <Daisuke_Ido> *forehead smack*
[23:21] <wesley> yeah its does slowing you com down and letting you think that you com is bad
[23:21] <Daisuke_Ido> if you're not using windows, why the $^#% are you using ntfs?
[23:21] <Schuenemann> genii, I reduced the size by 1 and it fits... but it's a bit small
[23:21]  * Daisuke_Ido needs a cigarette and a lie down
[23:22] <Schuenemann> genii, correcting: it's damn small
[23:22] <Psycoshot> Hello. Does anyone know how to put Video's on iPods without iTunes? I use kubuntu. Or if there is a better channel to ask this??
[23:22] <wesley> because i did give vista a try but after a time i did get slow i could not play video,s so i decides to take vista GB and give it to linux and keeping my media partie
[23:23] <Daisuke_Ido> ah ha...
[23:23] <Daisuke_Ido> hrmm...
[23:23] <wesley> but small files will be deleted
[23:23] <Daisuke_Ido> if you went *completely* linux (and i can only hope that is the case)
[23:24] <Daisuke_Ido> you can move everything you want off, back it up, whatever you have to do to clear that drive, and format it as ext3 or so
[23:24] <wesley> i went before completely linux i did had all ext3 but a big home give a mess
[23:25] <sweettooth> hello
[23:25] <Daisuke_Ido> for sure.  i would personally recommend a smallish (15-20gb) partition for /home (single user), and the rest to be partitioned as a separate entity (probably mounted under /media somewhere)
[23:25] <Schuenemann> huh? "A new distro version is available". Wth? I'm using gutsy
[23:25] <sweettooth> i'm trying to enable CompizFusion - i ran 'compiz --replace' and it does nothing. Any help please?
[23:26] <ardchoille> !compiz | sweettooth
[23:26] <ubotu> sweettooth: 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
[23:26] <sweettooth> i followed those instructions
[23:26] <wesley> yeah that what i have now but that big parti is a ntfs
[23:26] <ardchoille> sweettooth: What about the last sentence in that factoid?
[23:26] <sweettooth> lemme check 1 sec
[23:27] <sweettooth> u mean add compiz startup?
[23:27] <ardchoille> sweettooth: "further help in #compiz-fusion"
[23:27] <wesley> but if i deleted or resize that ntfs will that not give problems after rebooting
[23:28] <gaprea> hallo
[23:28] <Schuenemann> I'm using gutsy and I'm upgrading to gutsy now. What's the catch?
[23:28] <sweettooth> ok ty
[23:28] <FaiDillinGer> goddamn bluetooth
[23:30] <gaprea> please can anyone tell me if i can get some help with diskless installation here?
