When I boot kubuntu, my monitor starts switching between analog/digital before it decides to go to standy-mode. I've specified the problem in a post on the ubuntuforums ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=661343 ), but I thought that I'd ask here in #kubuntu as well. I appreciate all the help I can get =) [02:08] unknown format [02:08] allan__➜ there are gui apps that do this on the fly. DeVeDe is one. sudo apt-get install devede. If you must encode and burn from the command line, I would just read up on ffmpeg and dvdauthor. Or google tovid and give it a try [02:09] As I've written in my post, I've tried all possible setups (DVI/VGA/gfx outputs) and the live dvd, but I can't dodge the problem :\ [02:09] ok [02:12] has anyone run into depmod crashing?

[02:15] i doubt there will be a speed increase with 2Gigs of ram though [02:15] that is what i figured, my problem is that Usplash uses the framebuffer and Usplash worked just fine... [02:16] so now i disabled Usplash and set my vga mode on the kernel option in grub... [02:16] and get nothing during boot [02:16] articpenguin3800: Well, depends on your current setup I guess :) [02:16] it will help in virtualbox though [02:17] zippercock : I dunno... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer [02:17] My gutsy install cds (desktop and alternate) never get past the "Starting system log daemon: syslogd, klogd." stage.

[02:29] http://subtrnl.homelinux.com/fb [02:29] thats the head part of the framebuffer modules file [02:29] What the hell kind of idiotic lunacy is that?! [02:29] The only reason the kernel has instabilities is because Debian and Ubuntu blindly patch it with idiotic bullcrap that never works [02:30] what does that mean [02:30] your average user doesn't spend much time in VT's though, and I guess they wanted to aim at a more general audience with it [02:30] snarkster: Debian/Ubuntu kernels suck [02:30] has anyone had depmod crash during install of new programs or updates [02:30] so it still didn't work. [02:30] which is just as well... [02:31] zippercock: If you're actually skilled with Linux, may I suggest ANY OTHER DISTRIBUTION. [02:31] !guidelines | Minataku [02:31] Minataku: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [02:31] I guess I will most likely go back to Slackware [02:31] zippercock: That or Gentoo. [02:31] zippercock: Good call, BTW. [02:31] its just a comment here, and a module load there to get it back, but yeah, its caused a little headache with the community. [02:32] well my issue is that I followed exactly what you told me, and therefore it ought to be working. [02:32] But... it isn't. [02:32] Not to mention that Debian/Ubuntu packages are also heavily patched to fix "bugs" [02:32] Other preconfigured things like this have caused me headaches too [02:32] "Bugs" being "things that don't work in Debian/Ubuntu because they just plain suck" [02:32] isn't kubuntu 8.04 an LTS? [02:32] limac: no [02:33] what? [02:33] hardy is the next LTS.. [02:33] ubuntu is? [02:33] Debian/Ubuntu have their place. [02:33] isn't it? [02:33] So instead of fixing the real problems, the ones that THEY caused, they blame it on the people who wrote the applications and patch those instead. [02:33] biovore: Hardy will not be an LTS release [02:33] but for ubuntu it is [02:33] ok.. is it the one after hardy? [02:33] what is after hardy! [02:33] ? [02:34] the name? ;P [02:34] do any of you know why modprobe ndiswrapper doesnt start after I put it in rc.local [02:34] I really like the polish of the systems, I just hate the modified packages that come with them. [02:34] Well, they usually go alphabetically now [02:34] So after Hardy Whatever [02:34] I'd imagine it'd be Idiotic Ibex [02:34] Minataku: Please take those comments to another channel. [02:34] Or some similar nonsense [02:34] to be honest the massive apt repos are what drew me in to leaving Slackware [02:34] which... well... apt is amazing. [02:35] More thought is put into making up a silly name than there is in making things work. [02:35] zippercock: Ever try Portage? [02:35] I think you'd like Gentoo, honestly. [02:35] I LOATHE PORTAGE!! [02:35] There's a large package repository [02:35] portage = a good way to break a system [02:35] !ot [02:35] :) [02:35] zippercock: Uh... no it's not.

[02:35] Unless you don't know what you're doing. [02:35] Or you DO and do something stupid. [02:36] dude using portage is like adding C flags to a .tgz [02:36] just don't do it [02:36] Or don't use insane, idiotic options [02:36] lol [02:36] Please take the ot chatter to another channel. Last warning. [02:36] The options are all described in the GCC manual page [02:37] Including the ones that are known to not work and produce bad code [02:37] I need help can some one please direct me to the location to get information as to why modprobe ndiswrapper doesnt not start automatically after putting it in rc.local [02:37] well either way, apt/aptitude/wajig are awesome tools (and faster than portage) [02:37] snarkster: try #linux [02:37] Kubuntu can compile things too, so there. On-topic justification complete. [02:38] or rather ##linux [02:38] Kubuntu can... after "$ sudo apt-get install build-essential" [02:38] why shoulod i goto #linux when I use kubuntu [02:39] snarkster: ##linux can generally help with those problems very quickly [02:39] I have a usb hard drive that the compter cannot access [02:39] how can I access it? [02:39] Sorry, but the whole "ease-of-use" thing is really starting to turn Kubuntu into a bad Windows clone.

[02:40] to your /etc/fstab [02:40] and then mkdir /mnt/sda1 [02:40] and then reboot [02:40] its not fat [02:41] zippercock: Well, not necessarily [02:41] well then, sub the filesystem [02:41] It's all very dependent on his specific setup [02:41] It may be a different device [02:41] its a format corrupted by a mac [02:41] true, but [02:41] Or there may be multiple partitions [02:41] should work [02:41] Better would be to not modify critical system files first [02:41] And instead manually mount it instead [02:41] maduser: Don't touch fstab yet [02:42] then again if using kubuntu you would likely just mess up all of your devs if you use an fstab entry [02:42] snarkster➜ To run a script or application at boot, first, create a script and place it in /etc/init.d/ Be sure to chmod +x it, sudo update-rc.d scriptname defaults [02:43] Hm [02:43] !info disktype [02:43] disktype: detection of content format of a disk or disk image.

[03:07] try 664 or 666 [03:07] or a+rw [03:08] marx2k, should I the user own the file or just root? [03:09] ah bit of a problem i downloaded 7.10 and burnt the dvd and inserted it to pc with windows on it, kubuntu loaded fine and then i asked it to install, it prompted me through all the steps for my info and when it got to the partition page it asked me to format 57% of the drive, i assumed it recognized windows and broke my 120gig drive in half so i continued on === dbmoodb is now known as dbmoodb_ === dbmoodb_ is now known as dbmoodb [03:10] then when it finished installing i rebooted and i get an eror saying error loading operating system [03:10] ehc: I imagine it would be you... but I am not sure. Though I think if it's in your directory, you should be owner [03:10] no windows or linux [03:11] nowisn: When you're in the grub menu (at boot), type 'b' and make it hd(0,0) and see if that helps [03:11] should i just start from scratch [03:11] nah not yet [03:11] there is no grub menu [03:11] Its probably on there, but the MBR or menu.lst is incorrect [03:11] eheehe [03:11] pc just verified dmi pool then gives the error [03:12] Hmmmm [03:12] when can we expect to see 4.0 ? [03:12] in an ubuntu release - ... [03:12] dbmoodb: 3 days [03:12] ? [03:12] oh.. heh [03:12] dont know [03:12] lol [03:12] nowisn: you only have 1 drive? [03:13] marx2k, it works if I ran tbird under sudo but not if I change the permissions to 777 and then try as user. [03:13] even when i try to boot a xp disk it says boot from cd/dvd then the error appears, it won't even boot from a cdrom [03:13] wow [03:13] what happened nowisn ? [03:13] ehc: did you list the ~/.gnupg directory? What are the permissions on it? [03:14] nowisn: That sounds more like a computer issue than an OS issue. Have you tried booting from a LiveCD? [03:14] Whoa... ok.. [03:14] I just totally fudged up my system [03:14] nope going to now [03:14] no [03:14] well at worst you will need to reinstall [03:14] - dude tis not a nas or other em device :) - so you are fine [03:15] playing with the MBR is irritating. Luckily Super Grub Rescue Disk was created :) === adam_ is now known as ackcontrols [03:15] unless you wiped your bios [03:15] hahahah "Kubuntu Installer BIOS WIpe Buf" [03:15] Bug [03:15] marx2k, 664 isn't enough, 777 is (the owner is user:user) [03:15] - bug [03:15] ehc: so 777 works? [03:15] no feature [03:15] how do I get the directory tree on dolphin? so far I find dolphin very unusable [03:16] marx2k, yeah [03:16] why was kolphin adopted over konq ? [03:16] marx2k, I just need to find how little permissions it needs [03:16] me-- can kubuntu wipe a bios [03:16] ah only if you really try nowisn- and i mean really really really try [03:16] it can if you write a program to do it.. [03:17] aka flash bios [03:17] just running a check on that dvd for errors again [03:17] marx2k, 764 works but 760 doesn't? [03:17] Man, I have to bend over backwards just to update my BIOS. If you find a way to do it FROM Linux, let me kinow :) [03:18] ehc: I hate octal permissions :D [03:18] marx2k, well it is working now. thanks [03:18] ehc: good. did you do that recursively? [03:19] just wondering if this could be caused by hardware issues, this is brand new hardware? [03:19] how new ? [03:19] nowisn: if the LiveCD booted, you should be fine as far as hardware [03:19] you might just need to re-write grub to the MBR [03:19] !fsck [03:19] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually.

[03:22] hoofharted: you might just want the Windows checkdsk to do it upoin booting into windows [03:22] i dont know [03:22] yes one hard drive and two others on a promise technologies 133tr2 controller card [03:22] - dont think it exists [03:22] no scuzi or sata drives [03:22] nowisn: it probably installed grub onto one of those other hard drives :) [03:23] oh [03:23] i get that too [03:23] just change it to target device is another number like if it is h0,0 try h0,1 .. etc [03:23] nowisn: your best bet might just be to download and burn Super Grub Rescue Disc [03:23] is there a way you can see your ip address instead of going to a website? ifconfig ? [03:23] http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/ [03:24] anybody in here have any experience with apt-cacher? i'm getting unexpected results when i use it in conjunction with Acquire::http::Proxy “http://apt-cache-machine:3142″; [03:24] thomas_newbie__: ifconfig for wired, iwconfig for wireless [03:24] hmm I only noticed one drive in the prompt [03:24] what is the default kernel installed on ubuntu 7.10?

[03:24] K super grub, okay got a link [03:24] esaym: generic [03:24] thank you [03:25] marx2k: k thx but what i get when i do ifconfig is my router's ip....Can I see my real ip using ifconfig? [03:25] nowisn: theres a point later in the install where there's an 'advanced' button in the lower right.. .thats where you specify where to install grub to (they really should make that more self-explanatory) [03:25] during install it goes to the partition page, i thought i only seen one drive [03:25] can i fsck a windows harddrive from here [03:25] thomas: ifconfig should bring up the current networking cards in your system and their own IPs [03:25] hoofharted: you can try. unmount it first, I think [03:26] LOL [03:26] nowisn: yeah but Im talking about later in the install [03:26] check the fecking manual before you blow his thing up [03:26] , hmm my screwup, always in a hurry [03:26] nowisn: if you didnt know to look at that area, you'd never know it even exists... it's really not obvious [03:26] oh crap if it installed on another drive i hope it didn't destroy any data [03:27] marx2k: ok done [03:27] nowisn: no, it wouldve just installed the grub to the MBR of another drive. no data loss [03:27] Oh thank god [03:27] :) [03:27] brb [03:27] marx2k: so no? i have a router and a modem in front of it [03:27] anyone else help? [03:27] whatcha need? [03:28] is there a way i can view my ip address..not my router's ip address using ifconfig? or what [03:28] i'm going to shutdown and pull that controller cards cables before loading again [03:28] naw, thats just internal [03:28] sure ifconfig [03:28] need to have it viewed from somehwere outside the router [03:28] you could do something like this [03:29] curl -0 "http://checkip.dyndns.org" | awk '{print $6}' [03:29] don't know, play with the bash regex and clean it up [03:29] sub[t]rnl: wow [03:29] sub[t]rnl: dont know what that does.... [03:30] sub[t]rnl: so answer is that it's complicated... [03:30] rofl [03:30] sub[t]rnl: that sux....the only way in that case is whatismyip.com [03:30] copy and paste that into a file, chmod +x it, then run it. pretty easy :D [03:30] no he is just getting the ip from checkip === Dark_away is now known as DarkDancer [03:30] why do you need your internet ip ?

[03:46] DarkDancer2: apt-get --reinstall install ... [03:46] I thought.. but ive rarely seen a case where someone needs to reinstall a package. [03:46] - did to get lprng working [03:46] Dr_willis: reinstalling a package is useful if some files get corrupted. I've had that happen, although it's rare [03:46] Referring to the problem I came in here for, (which I will detail for you if you would like to hear it) I am trying to help a friend get his mp3's working again. [03:46] - (on a arm) [03:47] alexbobp, every time ive seen someone want to reinstall a package.. they mistakenly think it will reset their USERS home dir settings.. [03:47] oh, I see the problem with my question. I meant, Is it possible to install Kubuntu PPC on a hard drive to be used in a PPC mac, from an x86 computer? [03:47] saw someone once who had to uninstall and reinstall HAL... fully uninstall, not just a reinstall... scary. [03:47] DarkDancer2: you probably would want dpkg-reconfigure then, not reinstalling [03:47] see what Dr_willis said [03:48] shee no down time ? [03:48] dpkg-reconfigure packet name? [03:49] yes - salt and pepper [03:49] Dunno. 'Twas on kubuntuforums.net, could probably dig it up if you want... [03:49] linux is on dev sda2 [03:49] hay all, I was wondering, Is anyone else having an issue keeping the current/correct time? [03:49] DarkDancer2: yeah. Sometimes for the mp3 thing, even "rm ~/.xine" works. [03:49] what's the specific symtom? [03:49] er, make that rm -r [03:49] !ntp [03:49] Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) [03:50] Well thats not the issue, My time will randomly go forward an hour, or back couple of hours, just at random times [03:50] alexbobp: re: PPC/x86, in theory it's possible, but I don't know if the system would like having its processor architecture changed on it... [03:50] dual booting [03:50] Thanks, will try. [03:51] SheeEttin: The reason I want to do it is I have an old mac with a busted CD drive, and I want to install Kubuntu on it [03:51] alex - floppy ? [03:51] If only VMWare could emulate PPC. I've used VMWare for offline installations before... [03:51] no drives you can steal from something else? [03:51] or you could just take a cdrive from another comp [03:52] ah - debootstrap ? [03:53] sub[t]rnl: yea thats awesome but I always thought I had to pay for that :S [03:53] sub[t]rnl: anyway i created an account with DynDNS [03:54] it's CD drive has one of those weird wide ribbon cables. I don't know where to find another one like it, [03:54] must be doing something wrong, unrecognized option [03:54] -usb boot ? [03:55] alexbobp: floppy, USB, network boot...? [03:55] weird wide ribbon cable? You mean an IDE cable? [03:55] it's way too old for usb boot. [03:55] os x ? [03:55] Dr_willis: yeah, but the wide kind. Lemme count the pins. [03:56] I do belive there are 40 and 80 pin? i forget. :0 [03:56] I'm not aware of any wide ribbon, 'cept maybe SCSI... [03:56] got a floppy drive ? [03:56] Hmm.. trying to rember what a scsi cable even looks like. [03:56] It has a floppy drive. [03:57] is there a floppy disk that can load stuff from the CD drive? [03:57] http://utils.blinkenlights.nl/scsi/50pinscsi.jpg ? [03:57] SheeEttin: Yes, that's it [03:58] is there a readme on installing grub? [03:58] SCSI it is. [03:58] first I'm going to try CD again.

[04:03] look in the help/info/about menu item normally [04:03] farchord: "lsb_release -a" [04:03] for kde.. for kubuntu - see SheeEttin [04:03] :) [04:03] Ok this is really on the odd side [04:03] * Dr_willis wonders how people forget what release they installed.. [04:03] :) [04:03] This system is a fresh install of Kubuntu [04:03] And, for some reason, it just told me there's a distro upgrade to 7.10 [04:03] but im already using 7.10 [04:03] Dr_willis: you'd be surprised at what can happen [04:04] * farchord scratches his head [04:04] * Dr_willis scratches his....... nose. [04:04] :) [04:04] farchord: known problem. CD-ROM repo probably still enabled (see /etc/apt.sources.list). [04:04] Thats a bug farchord :) [04:04] ahhhhh [04:06] Ok, SheeEttin that didn't change anything.... [04:07] sorry kind of a newb, which line do I comment out? [04:07] DarkDancer2: don't look at me, I didn't recommend anything to you >_> [04:07] ooo [04:07] nevermind [04:07] oh, sorry... ;) [04:07] foundit [04:08] hi, how i do to upgrade festy -> gust with CD? [04:08] someone please show me how to install grub from the shell, TY [04:08] sorry, that was alexbobp [04:08] sudo update-grub should 'install it' - dependiong on what you got going on.. it may be miss-configured. :) [04:09] !grub [04:09] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:09] nowisn: try the grub documentation, too [04:09] the grub homepage has some very well done docs. :) [04:09] DarkDancer2: what did I do? [04:09] TY so much [04:10] alexbobp, you said we should rm the .xine directory [04:10] so after mucking around inside my mac and adding a few PCI cards, it appears to boot but won't talk to the monitor, which is kind of a big problem. Any advice? [04:10] we did that then removed the libxine1 package and installed it again. no go. [04:11] DarkDancer2: what is the problem you're having with mp3s? [04:11] alexbobp: reseat video card, check BIOS for video init options, make sure monitor is plugged in & turned on, etc. [04:11] it's an integrated video card [04:11] how i do to upgrade festy -> gust with CD? [04:12] and it doesn't really have a bios [04:12] alexbobp, mp3's will not play since an update that came in this morning, they won't play in any app he has, except VLC. FLAC's play fine. [04:12] or, it doesn't have one with a config screen, anyway [04:12] cleit0n: I think the alternate installer can do that [04:13] mmmmm k now it won't update, gives a segmentation error on the linux image packet [04:13] vlc has it's own library. what messages do you get from other programs? [04:14] <.< [04:14] how do you disable system sounds? [04:14] DarkDancer2: try also reinstalling mpeglib [04:14] !conky [04:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about conky - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:14] mixed: system settings > notifications [04:14] !info conky [04:14] conky: highly configurable system monitor for X based on torsmo. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.4.7-0ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 140 kB, installed size 472 kB [04:16] alexbobp, just a sec, I'll get it for you. [04:16] SheeEttin, that was it, thanks, it's a little bit from SuSE 10.3 KDE [04:16] SheeEttin: http://www.kubuntu.org/download.php#latest here dont have this [04:17] anyone know if linuxquestions.org is down [04:18] cleit0n: 32-or or 64-bit processor? [04:18] I have the latest flash player 9.0.115.0 with FF 2.0.0.11 but it runs extremely slow... seems like 1 fps. Sound is ok. Any ideas on what to check? [04:18] SheeEttin: 32 === brad__ is now known as some_dude [04:20] ahhh found how! Good ol' apt-get upgrade. [04:20] why I upgrade my system and then I found sound card don't work? [04:20] my sound card is ALC262 [04:23] alexbobp, never mind, it did work, you are a genius.... ;) [04:23] hi all [04:23] a have a little poblem [04:23] don't we all [04:23] DarkDancer2: not really, but thanks [04:24] Hello, I'm new to using IRC....But not new to Kubuntu. I just finished setting up an old dell gx60 with a 32 in LCD screen, and it works, but I'm getting 2 errors when the desktop is loading. It says "file protocol died unexpectedly" and "process protocal died unexpectedly" in 2 different kde desktop windows, it loads really slow until I click OK and then it appears to work fine...any ideas what the problem is? [04:25] oakbrook: that probably means you saved your session with a konq/dolph window having a uri that is no longer available. [04:25] I often get that when I log off while I had open my flash drive, for example. [04:25] ahh [04:25] i agree with alexbobp [04:25] it's an annoyance, but nothing to worry about [04:26] Saves Sessions is a neat feature.. but can be an annoyance [04:26] I normally just disable them [04:26] * SheeEttin hasn't tried saved sessions since logging out didn't work in dapper [04:26] Can anyone help with a Flash Player slowness problem? [04:26] that's true at least it was true...the dolphin window was loaded at first but now it's not and it still does that. [04:27] brian_: how powerful is your CPU? [04:27] !ask [04:27] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:27] am i missing something about saved sessions? [04:27] I would check out the kde sessions settings. and tell it to strt with a new session, or somthing like that. :) i forget where the setting is even at [04:27] SheeEttin: 533Mhz with 256mb RAM (maxed). [04:27] oakbrook: maybe, try setting it to not save sessions, log out & back in, and set it to save them again [04:27] oakbrook: even if it has no content, a window with a uri in it will be saved and crash again if you log out and log back in. If you close the window and then log out, it shouldn't show up again. [04:28] brian_: turn the quality down low and that's pretty much all you're gonna get. [04:28] if its set to save the sessions on logoig. [04:28] logout. [04:28] oakbrook: system settings > advanced > session manager [04:28] I closed it, but it stil happens...where do I find the save sessions options? [04:28] SheeEttin: Thanks. [04:28] Bye all! [04:29] brian_: I can see why your flash is slow, but short of overclocking there's no software fix for a slow CPU. [04:29] hmm, I should probably go to bed too [04:29] also overclocking is a bad idea if you don't know what you're doing. [04:29] night y'all [04:29] alexbobp: It ran much smoother under Windoze though, so I thought I might need to check a setting... [04:30] can't figure it out so i'm going to just reinstall [04:32] I think I found it under system settings session manager, it was resuming the same session. I'll give this a try, thanks Dr. Willis! [04:33] brian_: unfortunately, adobe doesn't care that much about Linux, and I get the sense that flash for Linux is not really optimized. [04:33] You might be better off with gnash, but it will have fewer features. [04:33] the default configuration file for apache2 is /etc/apache2/apache2.conf ?? [04:34] alexbob: I was considering that before, I guess that's my only option now. Thanks. === tonyavila is now known as nugz1212 [04:39] eepers wrong area...eh how do i get to eh the open-source...eh the one with da lizzard? [04:42] I am having major issues w/ adept [04:42] I can't install/uninstall anything properly [04:43] it's causin havoc! [04:43] i always install synaptic, or use the shell for installing stuff [04:43] adept - always.. well annoyed me. :) [04:45] I need help...i watch the install on details and depmod crashes === sirin is now known as sirina [04:50] I'm a newbie and I don't understand what depmod is doing [04:52] what is depmod? *lol* [04:53] it do that on a kernel install/update? [04:53] you know...it's not very helpful to make fun of people who are trying to learn [04:53] sirina [04:54] I cant rember ever usng depmod either. [04:54] !hibernate [04:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:54] and im not a newbie. :) [04:54] depmod build the kernel module dependencies [04:54] ok [04:54] sounds vaguely familer. [04:54] so when you install a module.. it knows what there modules are need to make the module work.. [04:54] used after you compile modules.. i think... [04:54] :) [04:55] like you pci network card needs pci support.. [04:55] that is why nothing is working! [04:55] for the nic card driver to work.. [04:55] sudo depmod -a [04:55] You are installing Packages (.debs) and getting depmod errors? [04:55] should rebuild teh depmod [04:55] how [04:56] its run by the kernel install script when you update a kernel.. (or suppose to be) [04:56] Gargoyle76: i just wondered how he says d'he is a newbie though i don't know what depmod is [04:57] depmod -a will not complete [04:57] hey all :) [04:57] been a while :) [04:57] Gargoyle76: it was a serious question, didn't mean to make fun of it [04:57] man depmod [04:57] sorry. :) [04:57] apology accepted [04:57] *of him [04:57] ^_^ [04:57] okay. :) [04:58] i'm just really frustrated [04:58] oohh nice kde4 :) [04:58] yeah kde4 still very unstable [04:58] well its only a release candidate at this stage right? [04:58] probably won't be ready for show time for another year.. looks nice though.. :-) [04:59] ouffa. why Gargoyle76? [04:59] Gargoyle76: sudo apt-get install -f [04:59] see if that can complete.. [04:59] can't wait for the Windows version to come out :) lol! ... lets hope it brings lots of defectors to Kubuntu :) [05:00] I may have screwed up...i downloaded kde4...just to peak and it didn't work...so I tried to go back to my original mgr and it crashed from then on [05:00] uhm sayin' he speakin with him. sorry again, Gargoyle76. :) [05:00] hold one..I'll try that === aaron is now known as Quillan [05:00] I don't think I want all thoses windows users.. Linux not ready to handle the masses of stupid that follows microsoft around.. [05:01] Windows is the reason such mass's of stupids.. exist. :) [05:01] I'mstill googling for a directory tree in dolphin.. anyone find it yet? [05:01] to be fair both systems have their complexities and difficulties [05:01] i think the Technical term is "MS-Lemming-Zombie" :) but i wont rant any more. [05:02] dolphin directory tree?... um is it meant to have that? [05:02] use konqueror instead [05:02] or krusader [05:02] dolphin is kde4 (they have it backported for QT3 atm) [05:02] (although krusader isn't exactly a directory tree view either come to think of it) [05:02] it's trying to run depmod...seems frozen [05:02] harddrive going? [05:02] yeah I know dolphin is kde4 default file manager [05:03] me I'd still go with konqui tho [05:03] yeah.. same here.. [05:03] sounds like it's trying to access something [05:03] I think Dolphin is too simple to handle the functionality I want out of a file manager lol [05:03] I don't need another nautilus-like file manager [05:04] yeah.. [05:04] dolphin atleast can uses konquerors service menu entries and stuff.. [05:04] ok I found this http://dot.kde.org/1172721427/1172794484/1172821938/ looks like it or at least was missing entirely [05:05] yeah well thats probably something to do with k-parts or what is it again? that KDE equiv of bonobo or something... started with d anyway... [05:05] http://www.pastebin.ca/846270 here is what happened [05:05] been too long since I kubuntued I guess [05:06] but konqueror does have a file-tree [05:07] yes [05:07] at least thats one of its functions [05:07] yup [05:07] does dolphin have one? [05:07] yeah.. but kubuntu has opted to default to dolphin, to make our machines less usable [05:07] killermach I honestly do recommend either konqueror or krusader as finle managers [05:08] I mean dolphin is ok, but theres probably alot of functionality you can't get out of it that others probably do have [05:08] what a weekday is today? [05:08] depends on your needs [05:08] http://www.pastebin.ca/846270 here is what happened [05:08] ForgeAus: I prefer konqueror, been using since 1999 or so [05:08] well the only dolphin really has going for it is it looks nice.. [05:08] for basic purposes theres probably nothing wrong with dolphin [05:08] ForgeAus: but Gutsy has forced dolphin on me via default install [05:08] :) killermach then go for it... [05:08] can't you change the default? [05:08] what a weekday is today? ... [05:09] I mean the default file manager app not the default installed one [05:09] ForgeAus: I don't know.. can I change it? for nearly 10years I've never had to change the default kde file manager [05:10] um... I'm not certain as to where to change it to be honest... [05:10] brb I might be able to find out [05:10] tuesday, brainz! ;) [05:10] *head hurts* [05:10] hi [05:11] I mean the whole Doplhin things seems to have good intentions, I just find it a step backwards for my purposes [05:11] so/// how does one enable compiz in kubuntu? [05:11] marx have you installed it via adept? [05:11] Gargoyle76: sudo dpkg --configure -a --debug=320 [05:11] !compiz [05:11] 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 [05:12] groovy [05:12] hey stdin :) [05:12] ok...hold one [05:12] ForgeAus: I only use a file manager for one thing, managing/moving and finding files easily, none of which dolphin does better or as well as konqueror [05:13] killermach, yes but dolphin imho hasn't matured yet as an application [05:13] hello ForgeAus, and everyone :) [05:13] stdin how do you change the default file manager from dolphin to konqueror? [05:13] same thing...-_- [05:13] !dolphin [05:13] 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. [05:13] (or krusader for that matter?) [05:13] ForgeAus: I agree, so never replace a mature app w/ a new one. that's a basic no-no [05:13] ahh there ok :) [05:14] killermach one would think [05:14] but the KDE people must have their reasons [05:14] Gargoyle76: anymore debug info? [05:14] yeah but the kde4 dolphin is alot more mature [05:14] nope [05:15] ForgeAus: thanks.. I'll try it [05:15] don't thank me thank stdin :) [05:15] no, thank ubotu :) [05:15] Gargoyle76: what you have in /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic [05:15] and what arch you running? [05:16] lol stdin :) that too [05:16] hold one [05:16] but i think its time the web browser and file manager split ways [05:16] although thanking a bot is a little odd... don't you think? [05:16] !botsnack [05:16] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [05:17] what u wanna know [05:17] heheh [05:17] pc 32bit or pc 64bit ? [05:17] now the konq team can concentrate on making a awesome web browser [05:17] 32bit [05:17] well konqueror has had good css support.. [05:17] tosh laptop [05:18] apt apt-get yum glsapt/slapt-get rpm.. its all good... just don't try them all with your kubuntu :) [05:18] yeah thats true [05:18] Gargoyle76: what you have in /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic [05:18] of course theres lotsa others packman, pkgsrc, ebuild, etc... [05:19] list? [05:19] paste bin a directory listing.. [05:22] so when will flash start working again? [05:22] maybe never.. :-( [05:22] you can manualy install it.. [05:23] http://www.pastebin.ca/846276 [05:23] but it kinda a pain for people who arn't linux savy [05:23] what do you mean start working again? [05:23] when did flash stop working? [05:24] !flash [05:24] 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 [05:24] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads.

[05:29] might shed some light [05:29] so (core dumped) is ussually means the program did a boo-boo or something hardware messed up and the kernel dump the program to save the system.

[05:50] ForgeAus: I created a new account, and konqueror works fine onthat user [05:50] thomas_newbie__: you have a few things that may cause that [05:50] thomas_newbie__: 1st try to run on port 8080 to see if your ISP has port 80 incoming blocked [05:51] Howdy [05:51] killermach you may need to log into your other account or run it as kdesu to change it [05:51] killermach: and btw theres no "directoryindex" directive in the configuration files you know of? maybe thats the problem? [05:51] killermach: it doesn't because i have an apache server set up on port 80 on my windows machien [05:51] thomas_newbie__: 2nd make sure you are forwarding that port through your NAT firewall and/or have your iptables firewall allowing port 80 from outside world [05:51] ForgeAus: yea.. just rebooted even.. no fix it [05:51] either that or you have some kind of configuration fault [05:52] killermach: ohhhh [05:52] its also possible that you have corrupt konqueror even ... but I wouldn't suggest thats a likely cause at this stage [05:52] thomas_newbie__: so create an index.html file [05:52] killermach: i think you got it.....I might not be forwarding the port...I have a router [05:53] I'm not sure much about how multiple users affects konqueror configuration [05:53] yep.. you have to set up your NAT router to forward to that machine [05:53] killermach: but shouldn't the router anyhow still forward the port to my linux machien aswell? [05:53] Where can I download Fiesty Fawn? It's not listed here: http://www.kubuntu.org/download.php [05:53] Seems to be skipped [05:53] Gargoyle76: from what the dmsg says.. your disk looks kinda dead... could google on turning off DMA and doing the pci=irqroute thing might help [05:53] ForgeAus: individual users have individual settings for konqueror, I only made the other user to determine if my user profile is borked [05:54] killermach: in my config files, I don't see a DirectoryIndex directive like there should be....right [05:54] thx [05:54] that's what I was afraid you'd say [05:54] Gargoyle76: but as of right now.. you disk is probably so corrupted that currently installed OS is probably toast or close to toast.. [05:54] thomas_newbie__: it may be inthe global httpd.conf or the conf.d/ directory [05:55] biovore: the pci line in the dmesg kinds suggest the pci bus connection to the ide controller might have problems..

I was in kcontrol and enabled this through the peripheral settings. it then stated that the X server would need to be restarted. upon restarting, i am no longer taken into the desktop environment. i'm stuck at a text prompt asking me to log in. any ideas anyone?

[12:01] underdog➜ that will generate a new xorg.conf to get you back in X [12:01] hmm okay. so does this mean i will not be able to have a dual display?

[12:15] ActionParsnip: naturally, how else would I even start makign the connection? it says "08/01/2008 14:04:51 Got connection from client 192.168.1.102" and is using client protocol version 3.8 === schiste_ is now known as schiste [12:16] drif, just getting info [12:17] ok is there anyfirewalling on either pc blocking the connection [12:17] the firewall will also have to allow the vnc traffic out of your windows box [12:17] ActionParsnip: no [12:17] ActionParsnip: actually, a sec [12:19] does someone know where vthe data files from wesnoth are on my system?

[12:23] shaffy, i think theres an xorg.conf line or two that you need. if you look at "Section display" i think you need 2 [12:24] ActionParsnip: btw, do you happen to know if the support scheme is still the same between ati vs. nvidia? I'm still using 7.04 with ATI and not quite aware [12:25] drif, how do you mean? [12:25] ActionParsnip: in plain, better support for nvidia cards. [12:26] drif, all the way :) [12:27] thought so [12:27] drif, if i'm intending linux then i always go for nvidia [12:28] ciao [12:28] can some one tell me where the location is from the standard campains from wesnoth [12:30] Can somebody explain me how this work?

[14:03] Since when this channel is just about support? [14:03] from the very beginning? [14:03] read the topic? [14:04] Well, that's why I am here. I want to find support for my opinion! [14:04] Do you think people who go for Kubuntu don't choose KDE for it's features? Like it's rocking file manager konqueror? [14:05] i told you how to get the default KDE profile back for konqueror [14:05] if you have a specific question then I suggest you ask it [14:05] problem solved? [14:05] Well, I had. Why is it that Kubuntu thinks they need to cripple KDE? [14:06] funny how adding one simplified konq profile is "crippling" kde [14:06] heh [14:06] why do the search results i find on the wiki point to ubuntu? [14:06] humbolto: you'll get no more warnings here [14:06] looked for info about compiz and they tell me all sorts of gnome stuff [14:07] !compiz [14:07] Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default.

[14:25] Hello, how can I tell kubuntu that i don't wanna use dolphin as file manager, but only konqueror... [14:26] !d3lphin [14:26] 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. [14:35] hi all [14:36] if I install Koffice2, would it conflicts with my current Koffice? [14:36] Howdy all :-) [14:37] is dolphin a lightweight Konqueror ? (or sort of ) [14:37] mohi, how are you going to install it ? [14:37] yeah sort of [14:38] BluesKaj: adept-manager [14:38] ok mohi , then installing koffice 2 will prolly replace the original [14:40] BluesKaj: shit! [14:40] it won't conflict afaik [14:40] BluesKaj: does Koffice2 have live disk? [14:41] mohi, I didn't say it would destroy your settings and data , it should save all that [14:42] cool! tanx ;) [14:45] good mourning [14:48] no such thing :) [14:56] ubunturos: not quite... dolphin is a file manager - period - konqueror is mostly a kparts shell, i.e. it is a place where any contents provided by kparts can be displayed. so it acts as a web browser, a generic file viewer, and a file manager as well [14:58] LjL: hmm, so, could dolphin be like one of the kpart [14:58] 's content? [14:58] ubunturos: yes indeed. the file browsing part. [14:59] coo! - KDE rocks!

[15:25] ubuntu__: I wouldn't [15:25] I'd do /var and /home [15:25] trappist, why /var ? [15:26] ubuntu__, pag: http://blog.linuxkungfu.org/blog/index.php?/archives/15-My-Partitioning-Preferences.html [15:27] pag: short answer, logs can fill up your hard drive. if a /var partition fills up you'll be ok, but if / fills up you could have a bad day [15:27] trappist, true, but if you have ~10GB for / and do not run any web/mail servers, then fill up is highly unlikely [15:28] my var is < 500MB [15:28] hi all [15:28] one question, i dont see windows xp in grub menu when booting. It just dissapeared. Why is this? [15:29] pag: yeah that's the thing it really all depends on your usage. [15:29] !grub [15:29] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [15:29] pag: but "it depends" isn't all that helpful an answer to somebody asking for advice :) [15:29] Is it a good idea to make /home fat32 or shud I mae another partitition to share with Windows? [15:29] lovre, have you moved the XP entry within your menu.lst? [15:29] trappist: then you also should consider a separate partition for /tmp [15:29] ubuntu__: making /home fat32 is a very, very bad idea [15:29] stdin, why does every incarnation of the kde4 packages break URL handling (at least from konversation) in a novel way each time? >: [15:29] trappist: thanks :D [15:30] ubuntu__: back in my dual booting days I had a fat32 partition that I mounted as /data [15:30] trappist: I am still rather clueless x_X [15:30] LjL: what happens? [15:30] pag: i didnt touch anything. I just restarted comp, and there wasnt xp in the menu anymore [15:30] pag: can i get it back anyhow? [15:30] hmm [15:30] ubuntu__: fat32 doesn't understand unix file permissions. you'll find a lot of stuff doesn't work if /home is fat32. [15:30] trappist: hmmm do I need to set a mount point for my fat32? :S [15:30] lovre, pastebin your grub menu : kdesu kate /boot/grub/menu.lst ... maybe we can help [15:30] lovre, pastebin ( http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org ) your menu.lst please [15:30] ubuntu__: if you want access to it from linux, yes. [15:31] omw [15:31] ubuntu should mount it automatically [15:31] trappist: can I put a random name like /windows? [15:31] ubuntu__: sure [15:31] ubuntu__: if you are jsut a single user, mount it into $HOME/data [15:31] stdin: well, after the dist-upgrade i did today, i get "KDEInit could not launch 'kfmclient-kde4'.: Could not find 'kfmclient-kde4' executable.". before, URLs would simply open in Konqueror "4" instead of Konqueror "3" [15:31] (i'm talking while being in KDE 3) [15:31] ubuntu: you can mount any filesystem anywhere. [15:31] ubuntu: sometimes even twice. [15:32] which is pretty funky, but possible :P [15:32] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51208/ [15:32] here it is [15:32] Chousuke: :P [15:32] the only restriction is that you must have a / :) [15:32] and it's nice to mount something on top of / :) [15:32] lovre, is Windows at first partition of first hard-drive? [15:32] pag: there is only 1 hard drive [15:33] LjL: hmm, there should be a wrapper script in place for that, /me looks into it [15:33] lovre, but is it on first partition? ( sda1 ) [15:33] pag: no [15:33] hmmm ubuntu partitioning thingy says I have unusable space :S [15:33] pag: actually, yes, its sda1 [15:33] pag: sory [15:34] ubuntu__: you tried to create more than 4 primary partitions? [15:34] lovre, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51209/ that'll do it then :) [15:34] pag: as i can see, there is entry missing [15:34] llutz: yes [15:35] llutz: swap the onde for windows / /home and I was left with some space [15:35] *one [15:35] ubuntu__: you only can have 4, make one of them an extended drive with logical partitions in it [15:35] pag: thank you, i will restart to check it, brb [15:35] lovre, sure. come back to tell if it worked :) [15:35] ubuntu__: installing linux on logical partitions works fine [15:35] stdin: FYI, i just tried a PDF link instead of an HTML link (still in Konversation), and it opens with KPDF "3" as it should. (also, any URL i open from within Konqueror "3" opens in Konqueror "3", but i suppose Konqueror handles its own links internally) [15:36] llutz: :S [15:36] LjL: yeah, basically the wrapper script for kde4s kfmclient seems to have gone missing somehow [15:37] stdin: why does HTML go to kfm anyway? seems a bit counter-intuitive, shouldn't it just go to konqueror? === INFOEXCLUDED is now known as Weroc [15:39] LjL: it's always been kfmclient (from kde3), kfmclient was/is used to open konqueror in the right "mode" [15:39] makes it start faster [15:39] one of those wonderful KDE hacks, i see ;P [15:40] otherwise it'd have to determine the mime type as it get's the content (slower) === Weroc is now known as NoWaspAtWDC [15:40] stdin: well but somehow it does at least for PDF files [15:41] I prefer konq as a browser (seems safer somehow), but wish it was abit faster at loading webpages [15:41] still from http:// i mean of course [15:41] pag: it worked, thank you very much [15:41] lovre, np :) [15:42] BluesKaj: perhaps it'll improve with webkit... it's not that slow really though, if you time the loading time you'll probably find it's about on par with firefox, except that the loading feedback is different [15:43] nobody seems to like konqueror very much... but remember we're among the few who can claim their own html engine which is not only pretty good and pretty standards compliant, but which also has been ported to numerous successful commercial products :) [15:43] LjL, webkit? [15:44] BluesKaj, webkit is the port of khtml that's been created by Apple for their (Mac OS X default) Safari browser, and which is also used in Symbian S60 devices and a couple other places. there's currently an effort to merge it back with the original KHTML, or at least to make it usable from Konqueror. i think you can try it right now with the KDE 4 packages === tikal26 is now known as tikal26| [15:45] well, konq isn't the most appealing eyecandy-wise , but I've learned to appreciate it's flexibility :) [15:45] the liveCD used webkit by default [15:46] still running kde3.8 so i 'll wait til 4 is stable enuff for me to install without a miriad od backfixes :) [15:46] I've seen plasmoids embeded in webpages using webkit [15:46] BluesKaj: don't hold your breath ;) [15:46] hehe LjL === ubuntu_ is now known as klas === klas is now known as klaklast === klaklast is now known as klakla [15:51] did i say kde 3.8 ?...i meant 3.5.8 of course [15:52] stdin: also, konqueror doesn't start from the k menu in KDE 4 (i guess for the same reason), and System Settings also doesn't load [15:54] LjL: konqueror doesn't run because the .desktop uses kfmclient-kde4, systemsettings for another reason [15:56] hi! [15:56] I have one problem, on ubuntu and kubuntu [15:56] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=661770 [15:57] !IPv6 [15:57] To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [15:58] didn't I correctly disabled ipv6? [15:58] is my method correct? [15:59] stmartin, the tutorial describes the correct method to disable IPv6 [16:00] stdin, and launching Dolphin from the K menu results in *two* Dolphin windows opening, one in /home/kde4/KDE, and one in /home/kde4/4 (both of which, of course, don't exist. /home/kde4 itself is the correct directory for my KDE 4 user) [16:00] but why I can't update my linux? [16:00] LjL: yep, I'm working on that one as we speak [16:01] skype [16:01] Hello, is there anyone who could Give me a few pointers about samba in kubuntu? [16:01] gotta go , BBL [16:01] ok, thanks BluesKaj [16:01] mkitzman, the samba-doc package - has several html books on the topic. :) care to ask a more specifc question? [16:02] sure [16:03] I have a kubuntu system set up with a share I would like to mount in windows. I can see the computer on the network, but when I enter my username and password to try and mount it, it returns askinG for my password aGain [16:03] and here is the crazy part, I have added my samba user... [16:04] sorry about my "G"s, somethinG is GoinG on with my keyboard and GooGle desktop.... [16:05] mkitzman, use 'sudo smbpasswd -a YOURUSERNAME' and give the user a samba password. [16:06] i have done this, and verrified that my username was added. [16:06] also - you might want to enable the home shares in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file [16:06] is this needed? [16:06] Thats about alli have to do to get the home shares going. [16:06] You did enable a share? [16:06] None are enabled by default/ [16:06] yes, but not my home directory. [16:06] what one did you enable then? there may be a mistake in how ya did it. [16:07] /var/www [16:07] I normally just uncomment the homes.. the problem with sharing /var/www - is the owership OF that www dir. [16:07] I dont think you can just share it - and let everyone have write permission to it. [16:07] yeah, I chanGed the ownership of that directory to me... [16:08] I would enable the home shares - just to see that samba is working right.. then you could always link /var/www to /home/whatever/var/www i guess :) [16:08] or ssh in to the box and copy the files to the right place. [16:08] hmm [16:08] I could give that a whirl. [16:08] I dont mess with web servers. so cant tell ya more. there may be a better way to do it. === ubuntu_ is now known as XxXValeteXxX [16:09] its possible that messing with who owns stuff in that dir. May break the webserver. [16:09] no problem, thanks for the advice. :) [16:10] Hmm.. I got a link in /var/www/mythweb to my mythtv install . :) ya could make a linkto the users home/www i guess also [16:10] hmm, that could work as well [16:10] that's a good idea [16:10] ok people so how is this for a partitioning scheme: NFTS for Windows (primary); FAT32 at /windows (primary); swap (logical); / (primary); /home (logical). What do you think? :S [16:11] the linux partiotions are using reiserfs [16:12] well.. windows can read/write ext2/3 now a days.. and linux can read/write ntfs.. so do you need a fat32 any more? [16:12] can anyone recommend a program like dreamweaver, but for kubuntu, I need a wysiwyg html editor for linux, that is at leat good. ?

[17:13] Hwllo stmartin [17:14] remember last time i reported here that kubuntu has poor support for east asian language display and input (e.g. chinese)? [17:14] I have broadband connection. I chose Networking and on the second tab, i chose Static Ip address [17:14] what should I write in? [17:14] yao_ziyuan, no. :P [17:14] someone in #ubuntu-cn told me that ubuntu has perfect support for these while kubuntu doesn't [17:14] yao_ziyuan, Possible. Could be somthing that GNOME has worked on more then KDE has. [17:15] so my suggestion is make kubuntu as good as ubuntu in this aspect [17:15] Dr_willis do u know what do I need to write in? [17:15] yao_ziyuan: as you were told last time, this is not the place for that. [17:16] stmartin, my isp gives me a dyamic ip. If your assigns you a static ip. then you need toenter the ip they gave you. [17:16] yao_ziyuan: please file a bug [17:16] I have dynamic IP [17:16] Dr_willis: yes, particularly, KDE's support for east asian language input is via a program called SKIM while GNOME uses GIM, and SKIM sucks very much compared to GIM [17:16] stmartin, then you dont want to set a static ip. [17:16] than, what should I do? [17:16] stmartin, if its dynamic.. then its NOt static.. You set it to use dynamic ip. You dont write in anything [17:17] but, I must choose Static Ip or DHCP [17:17] You set the system to use the dhcp server. [17:17] jussi01: give me the bug filing url and i'd like to drop a few lines [17:17] !launchpad [17:17] Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects.

[17:19] Static Ip or DHCP? [17:19] stmartin, you said theres a dhcp button.. since youa re using dynamic - thats using dhcp. [17:19] which i though twas the default anyway. [17:20] I tried several times before with DHCP, but it seems like my connection isn't working properly [17:20] how can i hide and unhide the menubar in apps? [17:21] Thats possible.. stmartin or there could be some other quirk/thing going on. You are connected wired from the network card on the pc. to the cable modem? or whats your exact setup? [17:21] i have switch, and adsl modem [17:21] back in a moment -- testing something [17:21] adsl modem (d-link) [17:21] also, [17:21] another question: [17:22] now i found that KDE's clock can use the digital font [17:22] i think it should be default [17:22] it's a big selling point for me [17:22] I disabled ipv6 also [17:22] because of slow connection [17:23] then I get advice that I should change something in my networking panel [17:23] so I tried with Static IP address and seems it is working perfectly [17:24] I have Ethernet connection [17:24] an open source project's bug reporting and fixing process is much more efficient than a closed source one like Windows, isn't it?

Because the /boot directory of my distro is on another partition and i don´t know how to link to this directory [18:15] distro is on hda3 and /boot is on hda4 [18:15] thedoc2097, normally you mount /boot to the proper place on / [18:15] thedoc2097: So? [18:15] <_ubuntu_> u know its my 1st time to use linux and iam working from the booting CD too :D [18:15] which is /boot :) [18:16] _ubuntu_: Welcome [18:16] <_ubuntu_> thanx :) [18:16] <_ubuntu_> i have final exam tomorrow in linux [18:16] it´s a silly thing, but i have no other possibility as to put the boot directory to an another partition, because the distro i installed is a live distro and uses all the space of the partition [18:16] the only real differance in the grub configs - i think is the location of the root directive.. actually that may point to the root partition also. [18:16] <_ubuntu_> i got so curs to use every thing in it [18:17] Many disrtos set up seperate /boot partitions [18:17] <_ubuntu_> iam actually a windows lover , but i start to love linux [18:18] Hi! Why I have double ubuntu's when I boot ? [18:18] loving windows is like having an 'abusive lover' [18:18] <_ubuntu_> me and me :) [18:18] yeah, thats my problem. When I installed the backtrack3 distro there was no /boot directory on the distros partition, but if i boot from cd there is a boot directory, so i copied the /boot directory to hda4 [18:18] stmartin, you mean 2 Grub entries for ubuntu in the grub menu? [18:18] yes [18:18] <_ubuntu_> but u know in programs its so easy to work in windows [18:18] stmartin, one for each kernel, and options for a recovery mode. [18:18] and i don´t know what path i should use in grub /dev/hda4/boot/vmlinuz doesn´t work [18:18] There are 4 [18:19] 2 pairs same [18:19] _ubuntu_, it can be.. but it depends on the task [18:19] <_ubuntu_> in networks in prefer linux , [18:19] stmartin, Thats normal. [18:19] Dr_willis, which I should click on? [18:19] <_ubuntu_> yes exactly [18:19] The 1 or the 3-rd? [18:19] stmartin, try the first one? logically that would be the newest. [18:19] thedoc2097: You should probably read the grub entry [18:19] <_ubuntu_> ok guys , nice to see u here tonight [18:19] ??? [18:20] <_ubuntu_> keep the success [18:20] Grub is the kind of tool - its worth learning/reading and learning well. [18:20] and what will happen if I click on the 3-rd? [18:20] stmartin: The newest on unless it gives you issues then the 3rd [18:20] I can edit the grub entry that´s not the problem, but I am not sure what path i have to put in [18:20] <_ubuntu_> Bye :) [18:20] stmartin: You boot up in a old kernel (by default ) [18:20] _ubuntu_: come back soon [18:20] daskreech : you have any idea which path i have to use if the /boot directory is on hda4 [18:21] <_ubuntu_> i will after finals :) [18:21] hd(0,4) ? [18:21] but I have the updates, again on the 3-rd [18:21] no, hd0,3 [18:21] <_ubuntu_> thanx for ur kind DaSkreech :) [18:21] I think they are the same [18:21] thedoc2097: Ah right correct :) [18:21] lol :-) [18:21] stmartin: they would be [18:22] so why there are double same pair? [18:22] stmartin: Linux is good like that. as little discrimination as possible [18:22] stmartin: One is older [18:22] so the 3-rd is older? [18:22] hda4 would be hd0,3 in grub terminology [18:22] if the new one does something horribly wrong and breaks your machine you can just choose the old one and continue doing work [18:22] stmartin, look at the version #'s on the kernels.. I imagine one is higher.. that should be the first one [18:23] stmartin: Right [18:23] It keeps an entry for ALL your kernels.. just in case one dosent work. [18:23] stmartin: It's a safety feature [18:23] and No it dosent take up a lot of disk space. :P [18:23] stmartin: Suppose you install a new kernel and it breaks say your video card driver? [18:23] ok, thanks. And I still haven't solved the mistery with the network? [18:24] actually if you used envy, or automatix, installing a new kernel often WILL break the video card driver. [18:24] You couldn't do anything but now you can just go back to the one that works and there you go [18:24] so dont use those. :) [18:24] I tried with DHCP and it didn't work [18:24] I tried with Static IP, and it works [18:24] * DaSkreech thanks Dr_willis for the good plug :) [18:24] if it works.. whats the problem? [18:24] but I have dynamic Ip address, I am 100% sure [18:24] and do u know how to disconnect [18:25] disconnect? why bother?

[18:44] http://pastebin.com/m7d286c2e [18:44] JuJuBee, we can try/ im not too good at myswl however. [18:45] the GC is looooong drive from here [18:45] Ido have a book on MySql. :) it was in the bargin bin [18:45] argh! [18:46] But that problem is over my head. :) [18:46] Anyone know when they plan on releasing a Kubuntu Hardy Alpha with KDE4? [18:46] hi [18:46] Thanks anyway... [18:46] I would start small and build up with simpleer queries. and see if thers somthing fundamental you are doing wrong. [18:47] FunnyLookinHat, that question remains a mystery or closely guarded secret , it seems :( [18:47] is it normal that I get -DDATA_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/share/kde4/apps when building decibel? [18:47] BluesKaj, heh, figures : ) [18:47] Given the direction *buntu has been taking lately, it's probably a "closely guarded secret" [18:48] aka "Needless proprietarism" [18:48] But then I'm getting angry again [18:48] lol [18:48] Sorry [18:49] Hi. Can QtParted resize a vista partition cleanly? [18:50] FunnyLookinHat, I'm a bit reluctant to try kde4 anyway, after seeing all the probs ppl are having with it ...pll like me who are basically CLI neophites and filesystem ignoramases :) [18:53] err ignoramuses [18:53] But its the latest and greatest! and ya just gotta have the newest of everything! [18:54] hi an alle [18:54] hi to al [18:54] Im suprised we dont see more firefox 3. questions actually :) [18:54] never been an early adopter ...comes from being cheap and not rich mostly :) [18:55] I have FF3 beta running fine in windows [18:55] beta2 [18:58] yep. i just notice a lot of my extensions dont work. :( [18:58] but they will eventually [18:58] Dr_willis : got my answer from #mysql, someone finally answered. Thanks anyway. [18:59] hello [18:59] of coruse it seems that a lotof the extensions i did use. are getting integerated into firefox. :) enhanced tabs and so forth [18:59] do you know where i could get information about the kde4 packaging status ? [18:59] JuJuBee: What was it? [18:59] (or at best, link to actually usable packages) [19:00] I noticed FF3 works ok but doesn't launch from a desktop icon on my setup [19:00] I needed to specify the relation between the tables using a JOIN. Since I neglected to, I was getting the product of results from all tables (22+ million) rather than the 29 I expected. [19:00] bluestorm: but, but... kde4 is to be relased on 11 !?! [19:01] yes but it has been tagged already [19:01] hii [19:01] so they could be packages around [19:02] bluestorm: _If_ they are already packed, I would be willing to bet, no one would publish them before the official release ! [19:02] bluestorm: That would kinda spoil the party, wouldn't it? [19:02] hm [19:02] that's a point of view [19:02] but my use case is not "spoiling" [19:02] i'm writing a local press release [19:03] and would be happy to include a "url to the ubuntu packages" [19:03] i'll publish it on 11 too, but i can't wait for the ubuntu guys to decid to publish them to write my paper [19:03] is anybody else having problems with kopete logging into yahoo? [19:04] bluestorm: join the devel team then :) [19:04] so if i don't see anything a couple of day before 11, i just won't speak of the ubuntu packages [19:04] bluestorm: Oh, well, in that case you should definitely visit #kde4-devel . Perhaps jpwhiting or daskreech can advise you. [19:04] i cant log onto anything using kopete [19:04] (oh, he's already there :) [19:04] :-) [19:04] (of course i'll say "you can install them with your distro by the usual procedure" or something like that, but having a real link would have been nice) [19:04] hm [19:05] bluestorm: kde4 packaging status: "on target" [19:05] i m having problem with ntfs... [19:05] well then i guess its time to remove kopete [19:06] bluestorm: Normally the kde-packages are published at kubuntu.com . A link to their page will be a save bet. [19:06] ya i jst installed Kubuntu again... m waiting for updates [19:06] pidgin is better than kopete [19:06] The version-upgrade "tool" in adept Manager is not working well, the sources are not found (404) due this howto: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/7.10-release.php#upgrade [19:06] TunaTom: no, the'll be on the kubuntu-members-kde4 ppa [19:07] after the'll drip into -backports [19:07] ntweat: Yep but I give the Kopete team some props [19:07] has anybody worked with pykde anf konfigskeleton? i need help there [19:07] how do I kill compiz and make sure it doesn't start? I started it and restarted my laptop (I didn't put anything in ~/.kde/Autostart) and it keeps starting. that would be ok except knetworkmanager is running in the upper left corner instead of the system tray, and my power settings manager is gone completely [19:07] hm TunaTom, i'll do that at least, thanks [19:08] jughead: use "kwin --replace" to stop compiz, then just logout and back in to test if it stops restarting it [19:09] i need some help with ntfs any1?? [19:09] stdin, I did that command and logged out and tried restarting it won't stop [19:09] stdin: Thanks, but I thought about a (short) release note and install instructions :) [19:09] uninstall compiz :) [19:09] TunaTom: there will be, when 4.0.0 is released ;) [19:10] hydrogen, should I do that while it's running? I don't want a scneario were compiz wants to start but can't so I don't start x at all [19:10] stdin: Yes, that's what I told bluestorm :) [19:10] * TunaTom is doomed [19:10] jughead: if it can't start kwin should I think..

[19:31] ntweat: Or better: What is the label of the partition in dolphin or konqueror ? [19:32] thomas`: you forgot the "/ubuntu/" at the end of the line, it should be "deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty ...."

[19:35] i thouhg it asked if you wanted to still install them.. you can just have it install.. [19:35] dr: explain newbie here [19:35] currently I'm just chowning the event1 device to something my user can read [19:35] but [19:35] thats pretty ugly [19:35] ntweat, i recall some linux tool that can relable the ntfs disks.. I just change their labels from windows however. [19:35] ntweat: if you right click the partition and open the properties, have a look at the meta-info tab. There is a "Device File" [19:35] and it doesn't remember if atfer a reboot [19:36] hydrogen: It's not about an ugly label but mounting the partition. [19:36] I'm not talking to you!

[19:41] damn.. where did i rezise my panel meny [19:42] ntweat: Hmm. Mounting the partition is easy. You just have to know the device file. [19:42] ntweat: To be honest, I have no idea on how to easily find out which device. [19:43] tuna is it smething like sda?? [19:44] ntweat: most probably. [19:44] how many sda do you have? [19:44] tuna got them [19:44] which one is it? [19:44] tuna its sdb8 [19:45] then in console type sudo mount /dev/sdb8 /mnt [19:45] ans 1 sda1 [19:45] You might want to make some better mountpoint dirs. :) like /media/sdb8 and /media/sda1 [19:45] ntweat: one after another. [19:46] of course ifyou want the users to access them - then you may need extra options also. [19:46] Dr_willis: Good point. [19:46] and if you want it to be perment - you gotta edit the fstab file. [19:46] tuna the problem is that i dint shutdown windows i hibernated it [19:46] and if its ntfs - and you want them writeable - you want to use the ntfs-3g options/filesystem.... [19:46] Dr_willis: First finding out which is the correct partition [19:46] * Dr_willis ran out of ands. :) [19:46] sudo fdisk -l | less [19:46] and look :) i guess.

[20:34] NickPresta: cant find it in adept.. can i browse local files ? [20:34] mathias, for more information about the subtle (and not so subtle) differences between Linux and Windows, check out: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [20:34] why doesn't amarok pull track info from freedb* ? [20:36] I think you have to enable that feature. [20:36] mathias, the reason it can't find it is because you probably don't use the Universe and Multiple repository enabled. Check out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu Specifically the pictures which show how to enable Universe and Multiverse repositories. [20:36] Its not enavled by default [20:36] Bauldrick: I think it should... [20:37] Hmm.. i may be thinking of some other player..

[21:11] will the kernel free the cache memory when an app needs the memory or will go to the swap [21:11] Couldn't I just repartition my current HD , manually , then when my windows partition is resized, go back , and click 'use free space' on the partition manager ? [21:11] Last time I resized my partition , it went to ext3, then I had "unusable space" [21:11] without a swap [21:13] articpenguin3800, frees the cache memory before swap [21:13] XD windows would go to the swap right away in fact windows always goes to the swap [21:13] this ain't windows [21:15] Why is it that part of the free space left is then called "unusable" space ? [21:15] help someone im trying to do flash, and I have all the packets and stuff and when i try to install the file with nspluginwrapper it tells me there is no available viewer for the .so but the thing is i have what its asking for (libgtk2.0) installed [21:15] Name141, if possible make a swap partition about 2G [21:16] BluesKaj: I was wondering how to do so, I repartition my windows part, NTFS ,and then I have "free space" , then I go to repartition that space, and use almost all of it, as the / , then I have "unusable space" , thus I can't make the swap [21:17] dubbydubby: umm, are you following a guide or? [21:17] Name141, do you have the kubuntu live cd , or gparted live cd ? [21:17] BluesKaj: I was thinking I might could make the free space, after repartitioning the NTFS , and making it in to free space, then going back and saying for it to use "free space" ? [21:18] jussi01 iv tried a bunch of the guides already non of them work but im pretty good at reading errors [21:18] BluesKaj: Kubuntu Live, it's the only Ubuntu I can get to run right, besides Xubuntu, but then I can't read the screen at any resolution [21:18] dubbydubby, the file youwant is libGL.so.1.2 [21:18] dubbydubby: I assume you have seen the guide under !flash ?

[21:18] libGL [21:19] jussi01: its asking me for libgtk which i have installed [21:19] !find libgl.so.1.2 [21:19] Package/file libgl.so.1.2 does not exist in gutsy [21:19] BluesKaj: The orignal Ubuntu takes me to 'busybox' or whatever, and wont continue to boot [21:21] jussi01: here is the error /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [21:21] either way, I want to be able to keep windows , and use Kubuntu also. [21:22] Name141, then the swap partition is the least of your worries ATM ...system settings/monitor&display and try to change the resolution so you can see the panel etc [21:23] BluesKaj: I can see it all in Kubuntu right , however 800x600 doesn't fill the full screen [21:24] what graphics card , Name141 ? [21:24] the ONE time Ubuntu booted right, it worked right [21:24] but it still didn't fill the full screen also [21:25] nVidia GeForce 8300 GS [21:26] can you run the installer and partitoner without losing sight of the next tabs etc as you do the install? [21:27] tabs=buttons , i guess [21:27] yeah, but getting the partition setup is the problem.. and it acts like .. when you take a low def program (4:3) and display it on a HD monitor [21:27] If I move the res down to 800x600 [21:28] (it has those black 'bars' around it) [21:29] The monitor is a dell SE198WFP [21:31] !find libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 [21:31] Name141, yeah, you'll have to download and install the driver from here after fixing the swap, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_100.14.19.html [21:31] File libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 found in libgtk2.0-0 [21:33] ok BluesKaj, but I still don't understand why it wont let me use the space after I make the ext3 / [21:33] (and resize the NTFS (windows) so that I can make the ext3) [21:33] so I CAN make the swap [21:34] Name141, have you defragged windows , and make sure the ntfs partiton is has some headroom as well [21:34] I bought a dell vostro 1500 today with an intel 3945abg. Network manager shows networks, but can't connect. What can I do? [21:35] hi, when i try to boot up my computer. it comes up in a terminal style, but instead of it saying what directory its in it says (initramfs) and i cant get the computer to boot up at all. what is this and how can i fix it (im on a live cd now) [21:36] also , Name141 ..I suggest you go back into windows , download and burn GParted live cd and use that to resize and format the partitions you want to make before you install kubuntu ...it's much easier [21:36] BluesKaj: I think I should go in to the live CD and get on IRC with whatever IRC client there ? [21:36] BluesKaj: i am in windows [21:36] ok [21:36] I gave all the space back to NTFS [21:38] well, the above is my suggestion and method ...that's the safest way IMO [21:38] ok [21:39] Name141, warning ...it takes a long time :( [21:39] It didn't take no time in kubuntu [21:40] also, will this screw up all my data [21:40] (on windows) [21:41] hey anyone know how i can get the nspluginwrapper-i386 [21:41] Again, I figure I can just make the free space, and go back , then use the 'free space' option of the installer / [21:41] I've never tried the kubuntu partitioner qparted...maybe it's faster, dunno [21:42] so maybe the installer can setup the swap and / partition ? [21:42] dubbydubby, it's in the repos if you have all the sources enabled in adept [21:42] Name141, yes the installer has a partitioner app === coreymon is now known as coreymon77 [21:43] dubbydubby, Open adept package manager, On the menu of that screen you will want to click on Adept -> Manage Repositories, click the kubuntu software tab, check all the boxes "X",same goes for the third party software tab. Close,and then in the terminal "sudo apt-get update".Now you have more sources for applications other than the defaults that came with Kubuntu [21:44] Name141, BluesKaj, if I'm not mistaken, the installer in the partition editor does not resize/create new partitions. It only edits what you have so if you try to edit an existing partition (with Windows for example) it will format the partition. [21:44] the partition editor in the installer** [21:44] thx NickPresta , did you get that Name141 ? [21:45] Name141, if you need to resize/edit existing partitions, select QTParted inside K Menu. [21:46] thanks and bye all [21:46] NickPresta, Name141 , i've never used the kubuntu install partitoner to change any existing partitions. I've always used GParted to the partitoning first . [21:47] to do [21:47] "Although the Ubuntu installer does now include support for resizing NTFS partitions, it is not 100% effective.
