[00:00] eric: are you on a fresh install, or have you updated yet? [00:01] it litterally took me weeks to get my nvidia drivers properly installed when i first got around to converting to linux :< [00:01] yeah i just installed the 8.4 alpha [00:02] 8.4? o_O [00:02] http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [00:02] That did the trick for me .. [00:02] didnt work for me :/ [00:02] o.O [00:02] it's the beta of the new one comming out in april [00:02] no scripts or envy or anything [00:02] Ouch [00:02] 7800 xfx [00:02] had to do it "manually" :> [00:02] heh, always a treat. [00:03] purged my old drivers, downloaded new ones, went command line and used some kernel producing program [00:03] i fail at english and tech talk so badly now [00:03] tired tbh [00:03] so baer white mi ;o [00:03] NexaMac: Welcome to my everyday life ;-) [00:03] lol [00:04] not all answers i give out may be correct either.. so if their wrong, up yours scotty! [00:04] so far i have to say i like linux [00:04] I have a love/hate relationship with it. [00:04] my first impression too, then nvidia made me dislike it, then nvidia made me love it :P [00:04] i can see that happining [00:04] Ati makes me want to shoot my computer >_> [00:05] terran4000: i got love/hate relationship with osx [00:05] its so incredibly stable at times, and good looking [00:05] but other times it crash or... applications crash for no reason [00:05] you cant change the look much [00:05] no terminal is ever used :/ [00:05] Not to mention installing anything decent takes 10 years [00:05] is getting too much like wind.o.s [00:05] I love ATI but i thought i would try a nvidia card since my last card was a X1800TX ATI man i loved that card [00:06] eric: Nvidia > ati [00:06] At least in linux [00:06] always has been, always will be like that imo :p [00:06] only downside to my geforce card is, that it makes my vodoo 3 banshee look so shitty :< [00:07] * terran4000 hugs his own old voodoo card. [00:07] :D [00:07] Well there just not keeping up with nvidia so much that i just have to go with Nvidia :( [00:07] Don't know why, but I seriously love that card. [00:07] hehe i had 2 voodoos running SLI or what ever they called back then [00:07] i still cant decide, do i upgrade to a 3200 NOK 768 mb vid card, or do i get 2x 256mb vid cards for like 2400 NOK [00:08] theres a hefty price difference, and i dont see the need for more then 512mb atm [00:08] Personal preference: go with one card. Less hassle [00:08] yeah but teh moneeeey [00:08] more RAM probably won't help you, though. [00:08] i can seriously upgrade my system to the double for a total of 4k NOK [00:08] Chousuke: agreed. [00:08] it doesn't affect speed that much, unless you have huge textures. [00:08] unless i go for the 768 card, then ill have to go up to 5k NOK [00:09] which i could build an entire computer for P [00:09] :P [00:09] if i wan't rinning linux i would do the 2 cards cause i think it would run faster than the 1 better card [00:09] Speaking of two video card and Sli ... does that even work in Kubuntu/Linux? [00:09] thats also a good question [00:09] was getting to that [00:09] i dbout it [00:10] meh i guess i can find out [00:10] heh [00:10] think my brother left behind 2 vid cards when he moved [00:10] 0.o [00:10] whats the name of the CDW/R program for KDE ? I need to burn a cd [00:10] I had enough trouble getting 2 head working! [00:10] qbuntu: K3B [00:10] 2 head? [00:10] er .. [00:10] dual head [00:10] >_> [00:10] dual head? [00:10] youre like an ogre? [00:11] lol [00:11] I'm just pissed that I don't have a 2nd card so I could get a 3rd monitor [00:11] oooh [00:11] dual screen? [00:11] Dual monitor just isn't enough these days. [00:11] aye [00:11] i really dont see why you would need more then 2 monitors [00:11] can anyone help because I can't change the default page that my apache2 server loads upon connection [00:12] im using 2, one for IRC and one for movies/gaming/whateverthefuckelse [00:12] I'm just too lazy to switch between desktops ^^ [00:12] thomasnuggetts__, have you edited your index.html page in /var/www? [00:12] yes it is in /var/www [00:12] ok well i'm going to see if i get to reinstall Kubuntu after messing up my Nvidia driver install :) [00:12] waaaaaaaaaaait [00:12] ok [00:12] why reinstall? [00:13] its easier and faster to remove the old drivers [00:13] NickPresta: yes it is in that folder [00:13] thomasnuggetts__, and looking at your httpd.conf, are you sure you're editing the correct file? Check where your document root is located. [00:13] what exactly did you mess up? [00:13] anyone running kubuntu on a it8212 ide controller? [00:13] cause i read a few people after installing the driver where not able to boot back in to the desktop [00:14] nah cause they noobed it up and dunno how to reconfigure i suppose [00:14] seriously [00:14] !xconfig | eric [00:14] eric: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [00:14] if everything fails and you cant get back into X, all you have to do is "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [00:14] select Vesa as driver [00:14] it just works [00:14] Well being that this is the first time i have tryed Linux i just might be in the same boat :( [00:14] took me about 10 reinstalls before i learned that [00:15] NickPresta: document root is /var/www and btw it is not the httpd.conf file...that file is empty it is the default.conf file [00:15] we just saved you tho :P [00:15] ok i'll wright that down too :) [00:15] eric: is your xserver currently working? [00:15] just keep a backup of a working xorg.conf [00:15] yeah [00:15] time to go get the cats some fresh food and me some paint (yeyz for painting walls AGAIN! ). Cheers guys and gals. [00:15] thomasnuggetts__, ah okay. I don't use the repo. version of Apache 2, I wasn't aware what the config. file was called. What happens if you remove or rename the index.html file? Do you get a directory listing (via auto index)? === terran4000 is now known as terran4000|away [00:15] yeah as far as i know [00:16] sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [00:16] !away > terran4000|away [00:16] my bad, sorry === terran4000|away is now known as terran4000 === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [00:17] eric: another lesson to be learned, if you read something in capitol letters you write it in capitol letters [00:17] like the folder X11 [00:17] x11 doesnt work cause its not named x11 its named X11 [00:18] yeah i was trying to get in the documents dir but it kept saying it was not there do i tryed using case sesetive and it worked [00:19] eric, GNU+Linux is case sensitive :) [00:19] NickPresta: aww ok it gave me an index [00:19] NickPresta: so... [00:19] ok so brbr if it works :) [00:20] thomasnuggetts__, check your conf file for the 'DirectoryIndex' directive. You should see something like: DirectoryIndex index.html. If you want to have index.php automatically load when you visit http://yoursite.com/, you need to add that to the DirectoryIndex directive [00:21] if kde4 releases......can kubuntu please search some better default fonts? [00:21] maybe it is my monitor...... [00:21] but damn [00:21] NickPresta: yes i was looking for that too...i have an apache server on windows and it uses that but i can't find directoryindex here in my confg file....i'm gonna look again... [00:22] am i whining if i think these fonts are ugly? [00:22] http://debianadmin.com/copper/displayimage.php?pid=1072&fullsize=1 [00:22] (from kubuntu site) [00:23] the menu i talk about [00:23] HS^, you can adjust your font settings within the System Settings dialogue [00:23] something looks wrong wit it.. some letters are all thick [00:23] well the best i can get is like the screenshot [00:24] these fonts dont even work without antialias or hinting [00:24] HS^: looks perfectly fine here o_O [00:24] NexaMac the screenshot? [00:24] HS^: What menu? [00:24] yes [00:24] ugh [00:24] NickPresta: am I working with a good apache version? its 2.2.3 [00:24] i think you use linux too long [00:25] to think those font look good [00:25] haha [00:25] no seriously [00:25] whats wrong with them? :< [00:25] look at the 'w'in View [00:25] NickPresta: would it help if I showed you the config file's contents? [00:25] thomasnuggetts__, the latest version of Apache 2 is 2.2.6, although 2.2.3 is fine if you're just running a home dev. server. Sure, !pastebin me your conf file [00:26] these are not sharp fonts [00:26] and looking at them for a long time will give you serious problems [00:26] nothing wrong :/ [00:26] wait [00:26] what kinda monitor are you using and whats your current resolution? [00:27] i see it the same as you in the screenshot [00:27] but i make a screenshot with a windows app next to it [00:27] sooo what youre saying is that the screenshot is fine but the original isnt? === thomasnuggetts__ is now known as thomas_newbie__ === thomas_newbie__ is now known as thomas [00:28] http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/4286/naamloosql7.png [00:29] no i say these font in screenshot and in kubuntu are horrible [00:29] look at the difference [00:29] hey [00:29] can someone help me with kmenu? [00:29] it may be small to see at first sight.... [00:29] !nickspam > thomas [00:29] but it matters a lot [00:30] HS^: sorry i'm trying to login properly [00:30] the mirc ones look worse to me :P [00:30] I just installed kubuntu [00:30] ooooh [00:30] and kmenu is being weird [00:30] you are joking [00:30] no im serious :/ [00:30] Jatz, what do you mean weird? [00:31] the mirc ones is smaller [00:31] a bunch of apps in it show _:Entries in Kmenu: (some app) App name [00:31] apart from that their pretty much the same [00:31] and more stuff after that [00:31] I just want it to show the app name [00:31] NexaMac .... you are very subjective i think [00:31] Jatz: did u try to edit them? [00:32] edit the menu item? [00:32] yeah [00:32] it doesn't look wrong. [00:33] so yeah, help? [00:34] i can't quite get ur problem really [00:34] well [00:35] in the menu it displays all this crap. it's all prefixed with _:Entries in KMenu: [00:35] annoying. [00:35] NickPresta: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51281/ [00:37] Jatz: u using en_ca? [00:37] I think [00:37] and going to trash does _:Verb Trash [00:37] try to change it to english US [00:38] looks liek its a known problem [00:38] scratch that [00:38] I was on EN-US [00:39] this is bugging me. [00:39] so ur not using en_ca atm? [00:39] nope [00:39] never was [00:40] thomas_newbie__, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51287/ [00:40] double check ur regional and language [00:41] it might be en_ca by accident [00:41] alright [00:41] nope, US English [00:41] NickPresta: nick why wasn't it there though by default? [00:42] NickPresta: how did you find that text? [00:42] thomas_newbie__, it is possible that you don't have 'mod_dir' but I doubt it. I got that text from my conf file :) [00:42] thomas_newbie__, does that fix the problem? [00:43] try to change the Kmenu to "Name Only" [00:44] NickPresta: let me check....I do have one stupid question though...when working in kate I cannot save the file directly to the /www folder because of permissions....the only way for me to get around it is save it somewhere and then use "kdesu konqueror" to copy and paste...any other easier way??? [00:44] Greenery, how? [00:47] anyone here using a macbook? [00:47] thomas_newbie__, you can run kate with root privileges, you can change the permissions on /var/www or you can change your document root to somewhere writeable by you (best option). [00:47] not a pro one but a regular cheapass macbook ? :< [00:47] brb [00:48] NickPresta: what do you recommend? change documentroot to /home? [00:48] !aptfix [00:48] 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 » [00:49] thomas_newbie__, i have a little directory in /home/myusername/ called 'public_html'. I put all my documents for the web in that folder. [00:53] [00:55] if eric/sadfish ever gets back, will someone highlight me? :P [00:59] hmm [00:59] can someone say my name? :o [01:00] NexaMac [01:00] someone will NexaMac [01:00] ok i'm installing lmms where is the qt3 dir at? [01:00] cheers === litbang is now known as riefzu [01:04] NickPresta: "You don't have permissino to access / on this server"?? [01:04] Hello. Trying to install Ubuntu dual boot with Vista... I have the installation program open from the liveCD... but the migration assistant isn't finding Vista... any thoughts on what I should do? [01:04] migration assistant? :< [01:04] is that the one that copies your userinfo from win to linux? [01:04] yeah [01:04] do you really need it? ;) [01:05] I'm just concerned that it isn't detecting Vista [01:05] well [01:05] thomas_newbie__, what are the permissions of your www folder? [01:05] make sure you partion manually :p [01:05] I partitioned from wondows... I used the guided option to use the largest free space [01:05] *windows [01:05] NickPresta: i created public_html folder in my home directory and changed documentroot [01:06] thomas_newbie__, make sure the directory is set to executable. It should look like rwxr-xr-x [01:06] how do fix this: checking QTDIR... configure: error: *** QTDIR must be defined, or --with-qtdir option given [01:07] i can't find the right qt folder [01:07] Flare183, do you have the -dev packages installed? [01:07] hmm [01:07] which package qt3-dev? [01:07] how can i check a ntsf file system on faults the file system is named sda2 [01:08] Flare183: libqt3-mt-dev [01:08] oh ok i hate that package but ok [01:08] NexaMac: I'm kinda new... could you guide me through using the manual partitioning option? [01:08] Hammer89: a lot of people are gonna argue on this one i guess, but you really dont need more then 10gb / partition and a swap partition, so do it manually and enter the info manually and you should be safe [01:08] sure [01:09] how much space were you planning on using for your kubuntu? [01:09] keep in mind you can access your windisks from kubuntu so you dont have to plan 2398749873 petabytes on games and music [01:09] NexaMac: it's actually Ubuntu... but the Ubuntu channel was too crammed [01:09] ah :P [01:09] even better [01:10] I have 17748 MBs free [01:10] unallocated [01:10] NickPresta: are you assuming i'm using the command line :S? and public_html is executable. The only difference is that public_html belongs to me and /www/ belongs to root [01:10] Hammer89: do you NEED a lot of that space? [01:10] probably not... [01:10] the ubuntu takes about 2500 + twice your ram, tho i would go for at least 10gb on the ubuntu partition :/ [01:11] how much ram do you have? [01:11] 2GB [01:11] Jucato: ok now what try the ./configure again? [01:11] yes [01:11] ok [01:11] then create a new parition Swap and make it 4096mb [01:11] that will not do it Hammer89 at least 3 gb you need [01:11] hmm [01:12] I have ubuntu running on a much slower system... [01:12] thomas_newbie__, well, you should only be concerned with public_html, since you aren't using the www folder anymore. public_html has to be world executable. Press Alt+F2 and type: chmod 755 public_html [01:12] Jucato: still same error [01:12] Jucato: i'm trying to install lmms [01:12] the newest version [01:12] Hammer89: well according to wesley 3gb should do the trick [01:13] *slightly confused* [01:13] hehe [01:13] allright [01:13] where are you currently? [01:13] are you on the manual partition screen? [01:13] yeah [01:13] 2 gb will cause that if you install a few programs you have you disk full kind of frustration will that be [01:13] create a new partition, select "swap" in the drop down menu and make it 4096 gb === gryc_ is now known as gryc [01:14] okay [01:14] then create another partition and name it / [01:14] this one should be at least 5gb tho i always go for minimum 10gb [01:14] "type for the new partition" what should I select? [01:14] Old rule of thumb was double the system RAM [01:14] For swap [01:14] if its swap, swap [01:14] if not its / [01:14] the options are primary and logical [01:14] or root [01:14] Currently, I'd say it's double up to 1GB of RAM [01:15] After that, the same as RAM [01:15] err leave it as it is [01:15] if you wanna install some games or kde4 i should take more gb than 3 [01:15] okay [01:15] Minataku: really? [01:15] hi lol [01:15] lol [01:15] That's how I do it, NexaMac [01:15] are we trolling rotterdmn? :< [01:15] lol no [01:15] NexaMac: Unless it's a collection system of mine with little HDD space [01:15] location for new partition... beginning or end? [01:15] NexaMac: In which case I'll bend it to fit [01:15] Minataku: aight, i wouldnt know, all my machines are either 1gb or 2gb so i just double it [01:15] I need help with virtualbox :'( [01:15] the shit won't work [01:15] Hammer89: leave it as it is :P [01:16] okay :P [01:16] !ohmy | rotterdmn [01:16] rotterdmn: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:16] oops! sorry [01:16] I made the swap partition [01:16] did you create both partitions Hammer89? [01:16] aight [01:16] next is the system [01:16] this one is simpler [01:16] how do I re-install FireFox? [01:17] create new partition, name it /, make it 5-6 GB since vista probably takes a fair share of whats left to function [01:17] is acting weirdy [01:17] I mean isn't even starting :( [01:17] i have configere yesterday a very old systemn with xubuntu i did take 4 gb / and 3 /home and 512 swap [01:17] ^^ [01:17] I still have 13653MB of unallocated space... vista isn;t using it... [01:17] rotterdmn: Make sure it's not already running [01:17] then be bold enough Hammer89 to make the / 8gb [01:17] 13 gb is so full if you download [01:18] i can almost guarantee you that without a few gig free windows is gonna be slow as hell [01:18] okay [01:18] only 8GB? [01:18] wesley: using the windisks is a fine way of getting around it :) [01:18] Hammer89: yes [01:18] I thought 10 was recommended... [01:18] windisks? [01:18] i recommend it, but seeing as youre dual booting i wouldnt do 10 with so little space left [01:18] wesley: dual booting vista and ubuntu [01:19] okay [01:19] mauw kubuntu is enough [01:19] :> [01:19] <--- osx + kubuntu <3 [01:19] Ew. OSX. [01:19] EW! MAC!

[01:37] hi. im not coming off a new install or upgrade or anything, i dont remember what i did. but the last time i restarted my computer it wouldnt boot up properly. it goes past the grub then instead of getting my login screen i get a terminal-like screen and it says "BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)" then it drops down and instead of my username it says "(initramfs)" in a terminal style prompt. i have limited commands [01:37] while in this, but i can tell that i am on my main partition because im able to cd through folders. i looked around the internet and the most common responce was to remove "quiet splash" and add "all_generic_ide" to the thing in the grub (pressing escape then e for edit and b to boot it up) but that didnt work for me. a few sites i looked at also suggested just messing with "noacpi, nodma, noapic, and nolapic" i tried each one of those, with [01:37] and without the "quiet splash" there and none of it worked.

[02:38] I just reinstalled and updated. My question is when updating it asked if I wanted to replace a config with the new installed one or to keep the current, should I have kept the current or went with the new installed one? [02:38] NexaMac: *I* messed up? All I did was install it... and the first time I booted it it didn't show the progress bar :P [02:38] ;) [02:39] it was for libqt4 I think [02:39] hmm, i have gold, looks fairly easy [02:39] I had several choices... memcheck... and safemode... or something [02:39] gonna try it [02:39] oh yeah [02:39] Hammer89: [02:39] open a temrinal and do sudo aptitude update [02:39] then sudo aptitude upgrade [02:39] okay [02:40] aptitude...? [02:40] Why? [02:41] why not? [02:41] I can't think of any reason not to... other than "don't fix what ain't broke" [02:41] Personal opinion but I find that apt gives one more flexibility. [02:41] hmmm....is there a way to find a process and terminate it? task manager type thing maybe? [02:41] top [02:42] or ps -ef | grep [02:42] well, NWN is appearently running somewhere in wine and i can't uninstall it untill it stop working [02:42] Not arguing, don't mistake my meaning, just wondering why you suggest aptitude. [02:43] Does anyone have any experiance with BusyBox? [02:43] when I go to enable visual effects, it returns this error: "The Composite extension is not available" [02:43] Darktan_: kill wine [02:43] Hammer89: its cause youre running vesa and havent set up xorg.conf properly et [02:43] yet* [02:43] in terminal or run command?

[03:02] I'll check [03:02] do you have compiz installed? and enabled it in xorg.conf? [03:02] isn't it installed by default on Ubuntu? [03:02] hi. im not coming off a new install or upgrade or anything, i dont remember what i did. but the last time i restarted my computer it wouldnt boot up properly. it goes past the grub then instead of getting my login screen i get a terminal-like screen and it says "BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)" then it drops down and instead of my username it says "(initramfs)" in a terminal style prompt. i have limited commands [03:02] while in this, but i can tell that i am on my main partition because im able to cd through folders. i looked around the internet and the most common responce was to remove "quiet splash" and add "all_generic_ide" to the thing in the grub (pressing escape then e for edit and b to boot it up) but that didnt work for me. a few sites i looked at also suggested just messing with "noacpi, nodma, noapic, and nolapic" i tried each one of those, with [03:02] and without the "quiet splash" there and none of it worked. What is this problem, and how can i fix it? Thanks in advance for the help. [03:02] Hammer89: it is [03:03] Hammer89: on Ubuntu, it is. you can confirm with #ubuntu [03:03] NexaMac: What now about answers? [03:03] * terran4000 shakes fist. [03:03] !envy [03:03] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [03:03] ubuntu it sounds like you're in a rescue shell. [03:03] Resticted Manager ? [03:03] Gleipnir: i have no clue what it is, and its bugging me. how can i get out of it? [03:04] is it a fresh install? [03:04] terran4000: compiz +ati :P [03:04] frank__: yes. System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Restricted Manager [03:04] frank__: they say Envy isn't supported .. meh. To hell with em, worked everytime I used it: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [03:04] NexaMac: Ah, to whom should I explain it to? [03:04] !worksforme [03:04] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [03:04] *raises hand* [03:04] terran4000: Hammer89 please :) [03:05] terran4000, frank__, exactly. Envy or automatix isn't supported. If it borks your system, we cannot help you :) [03:05] I do not have System Settings [03:05] composite problem [03:05] just system [03:05] frank__: Kubuntu? [03:05] yes [03:05] frank__: it's in K Menu -> System Settings, just above (or below) Find or Help [03:06] NickPresta, Jucato: I know I know. But until linux/kubuntu/whatever can make it 'easy' to enable and configure drivers ... why not. [03:06] it's not a separate menu, but an app. (you can also run it with Alt+F2, "systemsettings" [03:06] this is the end of my xorg.conf file... after editing it based on what I was told to do: http://pastebin.com/m24f39143 [03:06] Hammer89: ok. I'll give it a looksee [03:06] Terran, use what works. [03:06] It's a question of what people are willing to help you with. [03:06] Hammer89: you have repeated Extension Composite entries... both of which are set to disabled :) [03:06] yeah [03:06] I saw that... and scratched my head :P [03:07] Hammer89: i gotta hand it to you, giving out info like that, makes you hell of a lot easier to help then most people :< [03:07] Personally I use automatix2. But I do Admin for a living, so borking my box is generally a fairly quick fix. [03:07] was that the only thing wrong with it? [03:07] Hammer89: Alright ... [03:07] now, someone help me get compiz working on Kubuntu with a "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)" seeing as im too lazy to google for my own purpose [03:08] Hammer89: try removing the section with Composite 0, then the one with Composite Disable set to Enable [03:08] Hammer89: You want compiz correct? Do you have 1 or 2 monitors connected? [03:08] Nexa, you may just be my favorite person ever for that... [03:08] NexaMac: have you tried asking in #compiz-fusion [03:08] Jucato: I already deleted the one that was set to "disable" and changed the one set to "0" to 1 [03:08] might be more compiz users there than here [03:08] Ok I gtot it [03:08] terran4000: 1... I'm on my laptop [03:08] Hammer89: hm.. ok... [03:09] How do I activate the compiz thing? [03:09] Gleipnir: for what? :x [03:09] Hammer89: One thing that you WILL have to do if you want compiz is to get the newest drivers from ATI. [03:09] Hammer89: kubuntu's repos don't have the newest available ones, which just happen to have gotten compiz functionality [03:09] the pure slackerdom of that statement. [03:09] terran4000: I installed them just a little while ago from the restricted drivers manager.... I'm running ubuntu [03:10] Gleipnir: haha [03:10] You'll also want to remove lines 4 - 14 from that pastebin [03:10] Hammer89: yeah, restricted manager thingy doesn't have THE newest ones [03:10] Gleipnir: gimme a break, i google all day long for lazy asses to help them, is it too much to ask one question without googling myself? :< [03:10] It has the newest ones that are tested good and true. [03:10] terran4000: Ah.... delete lines 4-14? [03:10] Hammer89: after you get the new drivers :-) [03:10] nonononno I do much the same, not to worry. [03:11] I Identify. ;) [03:11] okay [03:11] so [03:11] will you google it for me? ;o === nelson_ is now known as nelson777 [03:11] Absosmeggin'loutly not. [03:11] ;) [03:11] :< [03:11] FINE [03:11] I do not see it in the menu as in ubuntu [03:11] here i am trying to get used to KDE so i can help out with KDE specific problems.. but noooo [03:11] terran4000: I'm not seeing my card on their site... [03:12] lol [03:12] kde is simple. [03:12] terran4000: wait... I think I found it [03:12] especially with how kubuntu puts it out. [03:12] NexaMac: if you want compiz with intel drivers ... try compiz-fusion and using xglx (or whatever it was called) [03:12] Gleipnir: ubuntuforums got 0 results, halp plox [03:12] aiglx you mean? [03:12] terran4000: cheers :p [03:12] Aiglx ... I thought that was ATI only??? [03:12] Could be wrong of course [03:13] you know what? [03:13] ive got 12 hours until work starts [03:13] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=351421&page=3 [03:13] There were 3 basic 'modes': 'normal', glx and aiglx (or so) [03:13] i bet i can beat mario galaxies THEN fix compiz [03:13] terran4000: I'm not sure they have a driver for my card [03:13] Gleipnir: thanks :P [03:14] terran4000: they have one for the Radeon Xpress 200... but not 200m [03:14] Hammer89: quick question, did you check ATI's homepage? [03:14] Hammer89: bollucks [03:14] cause they sure as hell had 200m drivers the last time i checked [03:14] Terran4000: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIGLX [03:14] i just couldnt get them to work properly [03:14] NexaMac: not seeing them for linux.... maybe you were trying to install a win driver? :P [03:14] Gleipnir: oo, nifty. Thanks for the update. [03:15] Hammer89: if i was, then i mustve been sleeping :o [03:15] lol [03:15] link me and ill check it [03:15] Yuo're mocking me aren't you? [03:15] http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html [03:15] Hammer89: if there is no driver for your card, then the repository "ati" driver's support compiz I believe (or at least from what I've read) [03:16] Hammer89: http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html [03:16] try them [03:16] it should be fglrx. [03:16] pretty sure those work [03:16] unless it's changed. [03:16] NexaMac: thing is... windows has a driver for the 200M... [03:17] I don't think I've seen the 200m on the fglrx list, hmm ... lets go find out ^_^ [03:17] I quit using ATI long ago due to it's bastardly lack of support. [03:17] Hammer89: aye, but 200 should be ok [03:17] Hammer, thats wrong thnking. [03:17] if not, a quick google search for them could give you interesting results [03:17] terran4000: I asked once on the compiz-fusion channel and they said the 200m should run compiz flawlessly [03:17] also theres the forums which Gleipnir so kindly ripped apart for me [03:18] well, the 200m will ... depends on the driver. [03:18] At your service. [03:18] Gleipnir: what do you mean? [03:18] [03:18] Well, compiling a c based driver for win32 and compiling a c based driver for Linux are VERY different propositions. [03:19] terran4000, Gleipnir, the ati default restricted driver for gutsy that actually works is the 8.37 , provides DRI and 3D , to some degree [03:19] right, but it's crap. [03:19] for the X200 series [03:19] **is getting lost** [03:19] don't believe me? fire up glxgears. ;) [03:19] Sorry hammer. [03:19] Ok, basically Linux has a driver for ATI [03:20] BluesKaj: It isn't until 8.4x that composite is supported though [03:20] hmm [03:20] Which is what we're after [03:20] the glxgears [03:20] You need to find out which driver it is. [03:20] are they supposed to go really really fast [03:20] yeah [03:20] or is the fact that their moving steadily a good sign? [03:20] the 8.43 driver doesn't do squat on my x200G [03:20] if glxinfo doesn't have your gpu info... whoopsies. [03:20] ;) [03:20] Gleipnir: sorry i just saw your message. no its not a fresh install [03:20] :< [03:21] Ubuntu: have you tried startx? [03:21] yes [03:21] steady isn't bad./ [03:21] Gleipnir: wont work if hes where i think he is [03:21] thats not a command [03:21] well, try the fgl_glxgears test with the 8.43 and see what happens [03:21] terran4000: was I supposed to be doing something? :P [03:21] lol === ubuntu is now known as ubuntu1 [03:21] you know the restore thingy? [03:21] ubuntu, I think you're boned. [03:21] not an xserver, not a proper boot [03:21] ha [03:21] is there nothing i can do [03:21] reinstall :P [03:21] try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:21] i'm trying to set a static lan ip address. I went to network settings and tried to change it manually but it doesn't change after applying changes [03:22] Gleipnir: i cant [03:22] Hammer89: haha, not yet. just some idle chit-chat ^^ [03:22] thomas_newbie__: man ifconfig [03:22] terran4000: alrighty [03:22] Gleipnir: i dont have full terminal commands, i have just a small handfull of them [03:22] best answer i can give at least [03:22] yeah, you're in a rescue shell. [03:22] bugger., [03:22] its the bluescreen of linux? ;o [03:22] lol [03:22] Hammer89: you have a x64 bit system? [03:22] 32 bit [03:22] ah [03:23] how can i get out of this rescue shell? [03:23] there has to be a way [03:23] ubuntu rescue shells are tricky, what did you do to get into it? [03:23] lol [03:23] modify something recently? [03:23] thats the thing [03:23] i dont know [03:23] Are you accidentally booted from a cd? [03:23] i dont remember doing anything that could cause damage [03:23] im on a live cd now [03:23] NexaMac: i want to do it using the GUI [03:24] you have a limited shell on the livecd/ [03:24] ? [03:24] Hammer89: my recommendation would be to try "Envy", though many people here would highly disagree with me. [03:24] thomas_newbie__: then i cant answer you :p maybe someone else can if you just wait it out, everyones busy ;o [03:24] or on the system from disk? [03:24] terran4000: what is it? [03:24] Hammer89: other than that, you can try getting the drivers from here: http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html [03:24] terran4000: and why would so many disagree? :P [03:24] terran4000: i know i would, never worked for me :< [03:24] Gleipnir: no, on the live cd im fine [03:24] Point ;-) [03:24] u have a full shell [03:24] only a partial on the actual HD [03:25] hrmmm [03:25] err , sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ,,need permission to edit the file [03:25] sid [03:25] sudo [03:25] haha [03:25] Hammer89: Envy is a perl script someone wrote to 'help' people install the "bleeding edge" drivers for ATI and NV [03:25] !envy [03:25] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [03:25] shhhh maybe they won't notice! [03:25] For some it works (like me) for other it's not [03:25] !sudo [03:25] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [03:26] I installed drivers already... from the Restricted Drivers Manager... [03:26] Yes yes, but like I said, the "Restricted Drivers Manager" doesn't have THE newest drivers available from ATI [03:26] BluesKaj: you COULD try sudo su before reconfigureing, but i highly recommend you dont [03:26] cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep ati [03:26] terran4000: right [03:26] at least dont forget to logout afterwards [03:27] Hammer89: thus, we have to get the newest drivers in there ourself without the restricted manager [03:27] terran4000: one other thing... I was supposed to delete lines 4-14 (in pastebin) in my xorg.conf, right? [03:27] Yeah [03:27] terran4000: gotcha [03:27] NexaMac, I wouldn't anyway...I'm not the one needing to edit the xorg file [03:28] Terran, most of the prepacked drivers should work ok. [03:29] Gleipnir: Not for composite [03:29] Well, at least the fglrx ones. [03:29] BluesKaj: well, if you know what youre doing you can just nano it [03:29] how do I install the driver from ATI's site? [03:29] you dont [03:29] how do i install aircrack? [03:29] http://stanchina.net/~flavio/debian/fglrx-installer.html [03:29] you download them and install them from your HD ;o [03:29] youre gonna hate me after a couple more hours Hammer89 [03:29] sudo apt-get install aircrack [03:30] NexaMac: that's what I meant, lol [03:30] thanks [03:30] terran4000, the newest drivers aren't necessarily working properly in gutsy on the lower end ATI Radeon onboards [03:30] NexaMac: already do, bro ;) [03:30] Hammer89: ill grow on ya [03:30] Gleipnir: the repo fglrx are 8.37? something like that? the newest are 8.43. [03:30] BluesKaj: true true, I never said they were ^_^ [03:30] BluesKaj: But he wants compiz, so he'll get it ... possibly ;-) [03:30] so, people, what am I s'posed to do? :P [03:30] Terran, I admit, I'm not sure. I avoid ATI at the moment like the plague. [03:31] Gleipnir: once I have the money for a new card same here! [03:31] i COULD help you Hammer89, but terran4000 is doing so well atm [03:31] compiz ...bah humbug eyecandy :) [03:31] Hammer, you have ati? [03:31] BluesKaj: humbug candy > no candy [03:31] lol, but look at all the pretty wobbly windows ^_^ [03:31] Gleipnir: yes [03:32] Gleipnir: Xpress 200m [03:32] you're gonna bloody hate me m8. [03:32] http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide [03:32] should that work? [03:32] Yes [03:33] sweet [03:33] Remember, if you bork your ATI drivers, you can ctrl-alt-f2 to a shell, and modify your xorg.conf with vim or nano. [03:33] If you want the newest drivers (and thus compiz) you'll have to go with the manual install [03:33] so Gleipnir is there anything i can do? [03:34] allright got a really serious problem here guys [03:34] If you do this... And you bugger your install, go back to Driver: VESA [03:34] my room is a mess and i cant find a RL rm commad [03:34] command [03:34] * terran4000 nods in agreement [03:34] after trying the newest drivers , they have to be uninstalled previous to installing the default restricted one [03:34] nah, Nexa, you want sort -u /dev/room [03:34] how to install aircrack [03:34] sudo [03:34] Apt-get [03:34] Gleipnir: more like rm /dev/room [03:35] Install [03:35] aircrack [03:35] terran4000: manual install... meaning? [03:35] tryed that doesnt work [03:35] really? [03:35] failing that get the src pkg and install it. [03:35] k [03:35] how [03:35] tgz or tar.gz [03:35] http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide#Method_2:_Install_the_Catalyst_7.12_Driver_Manually [03:35] hmm [03:35] google [03:35] Assuming you have Gutsy [03:35] richard_: it worked here [03:35] aircrack [03:35] terran4000: I have Gutsy, thanks [03:36] Good luck [03:36] Nexa, you need a place to sleep. [03:36] no time [03:36] sort is better. [03:36] ill oversleep for work then [03:36] cant risk it [03:36] so RM is a better choice [03:36] lol [03:36] can sleep at work come to think of it [03:36] With that, I must be off to move random boxes to a slightly less annoying part of the house. [03:36] Cya'll later. [03:36] cya [03:36] glhf :P [03:37] Terran [03:37] man i hate my neighbour [03:37] The term is "BOXEN" thanks. [03:37] ok then how do i run aircrack.... [03:37] hes been sniffing my router, and im too lazy to change the PW or encryption [03:38] richard_: what the hell man :P [03:38] richard [03:38] yes [03:38] what did you DL? [03:38] Are you actually trying to hack WEP? [03:38] Or what? [03:38] Gleipnir: "im boxen"? [03:38] got some boxen to do ò_O [03:38] boxen is the plural of box. [03:38] ;) [03:38] yeah but im a total noob :) [03:39] nubkin [03:39] Ok look. [03:39] What's your connection like? [03:39] please be 56k please be 56k [03:39] HAHAHAHA [03:39] dl at about 200k [03:39] ok [03:39] pull down this: [03:39] wait [03:40] waiting... [03:40] before you go on Gleipnir, how do you think the OP's will react to you teaching kiddos to hack WEP? :x [03:40] or rather crack wep [03:40] Fair enough [03:40] :) [03:40] kiddos? [03:40] tell him to google, or what to google, but dont act like your a talking manual [03:40] Richard, I assume this is your OWN WEP considering you already have a hardline to your current box? [03:40] yes.... [03:41] NOW were on the right track [03:41] And you are ONLY TESTING YOUR OWN NETWORK? [03:41] yessss.... [03:41] !firefox [03:41] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu.

[03:45] not at all. [03:45] sokay, questionable at best. [03:45] ;) [03:46] now [03:46] back to compiz problems [03:46] I have a lan setup at my home with 3 computers. I want to make sure that my router doesn not assign new ip's to each computer when restarted so I can port forward to my computer to reach my server. How do I keep my LAN ip static?? [03:46] after that, one of you smartasses can assist me in getting my wii to use a proper resolution :< [03:46] lol [03:46] LOL [03:46] HAHAHAHAHHAHA [03:46] Thomas, use static IP's [03:46] I came back at a weird moment ... [03:46] thomas_newbie__: disable DHCP in your router? [03:46] NexaMac: Just go to the wii setup menu >_> [03:47] And afk again ^_^ [03:47] NexaMac: do I need DHCP??? [03:47] terran4000: doesnt beat the bash quote where this guy came in right afte rthe sentence "i shook my coca cola can", and the first thing he saw was something like "now i got it all over, it exploded in my hand and my damn keyboard is sticky" [03:47] thomas_newbie__: no you DONT need DHCP [03:47] terran4000: wii menu didnt want to corporate [03:47] its MS all over again [03:47] i swear [03:48] NexaMac: why do I have it ??? [03:48] lol [03:48] XD [03:48] because it's easy. [03:48] at least i get a good laugh [03:48] NexaMac: and can't I keep DHCP and just configure through Kunubuntu or windows XP for it to stick to a particular address like 192.168.1.100 [03:48] thomas_newbie__: whats your standard gateway? [03:48] well i guess you can [03:48] hold on ill check my router [03:49] no. [03:49] it's dhcp or static [03:49] hmm [03:49] i see [03:49] yes you can keep DHCP on your router [03:49] true story Gleipnir [03:49] but then you have to assign each and every computer a static IP [03:50] or they will all end up using the same IP :/ [03:50] at least thats what happened here [03:50] ...

[04:00] >_> [04:00] Gleipnir: that one was toooo dry [04:00] thomas_newbie__: my guess is youve got a shitty ISP :P [04:00] unless its like all the time [04:00] !ohmy [04:00] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[04:03] You know you can install that under kde right? [04:03] its tertis fi youre too lazy to google [04:03] Gleipnir: why would i want to? [04:03] :P [04:03] Quest... that's only borderline legal [04:03] not th right place for it. [04:03] wheres the synaptics package manager in kubuntu? [04:04] no im not gonna google that [04:04] google will tell me to go back to windows [04:05] !adept [04:05] ok this is poop [04:05] adept is the Kubuntu package manager. Howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptHowto [04:05] yar i found it bazhang [04:05] thanks tho :P [04:05] so now i disabled DHCP. I want to assign a new IP it won't change it... [04:05] Nexa [04:06] Use apt-get [04:06] sheesh [04:06] thomas_newbie__: you wouldve been done hours ago with terminal :P [04:06] thomas_newbie__: you cant do that with dhcp normally [04:06] Gleipnir: i forgot what i was looking for :| [04:06] gnomtris [04:06] nur [04:06] bazhang: what? [04:06] bazhang: i disabled DHCP so I can assign a static LAN IP [04:07] does anyone know a text phonic reading program for linux? [04:07] w00t... compiz is alivee! [04:07] thomas_newbie__: normally you need to get your isp to give you a true static IP [04:07] Thomas: set your router for static [04:07] and then setup your box for static. [04:08] hmmmm [04:08] should be 192.168.*.* for linksys. [04:08] Hammer89: grats :D [04:08] :D [04:08] as in something that would read any given text file in an automatic manner [04:08] ive heard of something like it before [04:08] phonetically, aloud [04:08] Lazarus: losing your vision? :< [04:09] Gleipnir: yes, i'm there...advanced routing --> static routing ---> then i have to assign subnet mask, gateway, IP [04:09] NexaMac, heh, no [04:09] cant recall one, but search for phonetic in adept? :o [04:09] i just thought itd be cool to have stuff read to me while i multitask and do other things [04:09] an faq, a forum, an ebook [04:09] thomas_newbie__: ifconfig should give you all that info [04:09] i could get more info in at once [04:09] game, do some syntax [04:10] Lazarus: with todays standard in forums, you can forget all about phonetical :P [04:10] argh [04:10] my head fills up and empties [04:10] Gleipnir: whats the command for the spinning wheels? [04:10] glx [04:10] Thomas: you want to create a subnet. [04:11] nvm [04:11] ./spinwheels [04:11] x) [04:11] glxgears [04:11] tbh [04:11] AKA glxgears. [04:11] lol [04:11] i have all my data (both the OS and my /home directory) on the same partition now, but somthing happened and now i cant boot up. could i possibly make like a 10gb partition for the OS, and then have a seprate partiton for my /home directory? [04:12] of course. [04:12] ubuntu [04:12] provided you have 10 gigs free. [04:12] would there be anyway to get rid of the OS on my current partition [04:12] eventually. [04:12] so i dont have to burn 100gb of cds [04:12] i rememer when i was young, format c: fixed everything [04:12] remember* [04:13] ewwww. [04:13] :D [04:13] ubuntu, is the disk full? [04:13] we all gotta start somewhere! [04:13] NexaMac, of acccidently using warez from a dial up bbs.. fixed EVERYTHING and then some [04:13] no [04:13] for me it was win 3.11 [04:13] i have 50gb [04:13] free [04:13] othello <3 [04:13] Dr_willis: warez are overrated, gnometris ftw [04:13] ok, then open the box with ptparted or gparted. [04:13] ya [04:13] i know how to make partitions and such [04:14] but what im wondering is [04:14] resize the partition, and set the new one to boot. [04:14] oh ok [04:14] what would i do about the current one thought? [04:14] though* [04:14] then install an os onto it. [04:14] since i would just want my /home on there [04:14] ignore it for now. [04:14] and right now it has everything [04:14] how would i remove kubuntu from it [04:14] !compiz [04:14] 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 [04:14] i couldnt just delete it all off of there could i? [04:14] resize and create a clean bootable, Move everything over once you have that. [04:15] i cant do that [04:15] i have 100gb of data [04:15] why not....? [04:15] music, movies, etc [04:15] and? [04:15] how would i move that overt [04:15] over* [04:15] You don't have to. [04:15] what are you saying? [04:15] ubuntu: leave the pr0n save the rest [04:15] :P [04:15] unless you want to make a new partition. [04:16] NexaMac: no pr0n, anime [04:16] ok, hang on. Sorry I'm not being clear. [04:16] Gleipnir: no, the only new partition i want is for the OS [04:16] make a new partition. [04:16] alright [04:16] Set it to bootable. [04:16] alright [04:16] boot that part. [04:16] And you're good. [04:17] but Kubuntu will still be on my current partition will my data [04:17] that should give you a fully working system. [04:17] external usb hard drives.. are very handy [04:17] how would i get rid of i [04:17] t [04:17] right, so rm -rf everything but your ~ [04:17] er... /home/name. [04:17] oh, you CAN delete everything if your not booted to it? [04:17] yeah, it's all files. [04:17] as long as you have privlages [04:17] i assume [04:17] right [04:18] thank you very much [04:18] i was going to HATE [04:18] make sure it's not your / partition though. [04:18] lol [04:18] burnign 100gb === nivek_ is now known as nivek [04:18] to CDs [04:18] not even DVDs [04:18] since this stupid dvd burner wont burn [04:18] yeah... no good. [04:18] well im off to repartition [04:18] thanks [04:18] np m8. [04:19] <|Quest|> anyone happen to know how to passively decrypt ssl packets from a mitm? [04:19] QUEST, that doesn't belong here.

[04:22] HA [04:22] misread that sorry. [04:22] lol [04:23] dma on? [04:23] hdparm -tT /dev/sd* [04:24] ill brb testing compiz [04:25] Aloho [04:25] 'lo [04:25] Gleipnir: what does -tT exactly do? [04:25] open konsole: type hdparm --help [04:25] Gleipnir: atleast on help page -t represents perform device read timings.. [04:26] yup. [04:26] Gleipnir: that's why I asked [04:26] -T perform cache read timings [04:27] hdparm /dev/sd* should give you basic information. [04:28] Gleipnir: I've though hdparm doesn't support sata that well - if at all [04:28] true. [04:28] That's because you're *supposed* to use sdparm [04:29] which doesn't ship with ubuntu. [04:29] Anyone got time for a wifi question? [04:29] whats up knew? [04:29] What's up knewuser [04:29] >< [04:29] lol [04:30] Gleipnir: atleast it's provided on repository [04:30] yeah... there are a lot of things in the repos... [04:30] I just migrated to kubuntu from PCLOS. Clean install on a gateway laptop. I've got three problems, the first of which is that the wifi card keeps freezing. [04:31] Gleipnir: why suggest hdparm in the first place? [04:31] ok, what kind of card? [04:31] It's been raised in the forums, but I've been unable to find a response. [04:31] Realtek [04:31] because it gives you information. [04:31] knewuser: What do you mean "wifi card keeps freezing"? [04:32] Gleipnir: no dice with sdparm either [04:32] no... sdparm has different options. [04:33] SATA is not SCSI [04:33] terran400: when I activate the wireless network connection, the status bar hangs and nothing else can be done. [04:33] Anyone know if konqueror does IRC? [04:33] No matter how much the kernel devs want to think it is. [04:33] Gleipnir: [06:29] That's because you're *supposed* to use sdparm <- what was this then? [04:34] sdparm is designed to handle scsi and sata(in a backhand manner) [04:34] SATA is more like IDE. [04:34] Gleipnir: and naturally I'm not using same options automatically - even -a doesn't work with sdparm " [04:34] Additional sense: Invalid command operation code [04:34] REQUEST SENSE failed [04:35] back!

[04:39] Gleipnir: installed both of'em just few weeks ago [04:39] Nexano: you also did > compiz --replace [04:39] right? [04:40] what version of kubuntu are you using? [04:40] Gleipnir: me? 7.04 [04:40] ... [04:40] that MIGHT still be handling SATA as hda [04:41] or hd* [04:41] Gleipnir: I'm 100% sure those are sda and sdb [04:42] Well amigo, I may have to admit to you that despite my sysadminy goodness, I have no idea why neither of those are reporting drive info to you. [04:43] knewuser: still around? [04:43] Terran4000 Yep. [04:44] It's Realtek RTL 8185L [04:44] Whenever I try to activate a wireless connection, it hangs at 28% and no other commands can be executed. [04:44] Gleipnir: ran those timings - cached reads A: 255.19MB/sec B: 209.53MB/sec, buffered A: 43.13MB/sec B: 40.86BM/sec [04:44] Though it can see the wireless network, so *something* is working.

[04:46] no wobly windows or spinning cube :< [04:46] Gleipnir: those are first generation sata-drives [04:47] Timing cached reads: 1282 MB in 2.00 seconds = 641.40 MB/sec [04:47] Timing buffered disk reads: 86 MB in 3.38 seconds = 25.48 MB/sec [04:47] Nexano: when you do > compiz --replace on the command line, what is the output? [04:47] Terran4000: For what it's worth, I have the laptop next to the wireless router and, while it registers the network, it lists the signal strength as -1. [04:48] Gleipnir: how come the buffered is much lower than mine?

[04:50] Nexano: Realtek RTL 8185L [04:50] ah [04:50] never touched :< [04:50] could try ndiswrapper tho, its always worked for me [04:50] tho all my wireless are bcm [04:50] Terran4000: Do you think I should give ndiswrapper a shot? [04:50] shouldn't be. [04:50] but possibe. [04:51] bugger all that's strange. [04:51] knewuser: it might be worth a shot.

[04:59] thomas_newbie__➜ look at /etc/network/interfaces [04:59] Nexano: use sudo gedit /usr/bin/compiz [04:59] you can define static ip's in there [04:59] knewuser: dont use the graphical frontend [04:59] sub[t]rnl: ok, GUI --> network settings????? [04:59] terran4000: that did _NOTHING_ :p [04:59] sec [04:59] if you want to do it by !cli, then just edit the file located at /etc/network/interfaces [05:00] >< just open up /usr/bin/compiz in something that can write to it (aka with root permissions) [05:00] or by gui, yes, you can right click on the knetworkmanager icon in your system tray, go to manual configuration [05:00] terran4000: vim'ing [05:00] what do i edit? [05:00] select the interface you are wanting static, then set the ip [05:00] thomas_newbie__: what's wrong with vim? [05:00] Gleipnir: and yes, when trying to set dma instead of getting current status I get that ioctl-error [05:01] thomas_newbie__➜ system settings -> network settings -> same thing [05:01] Nexano: about line 54, "WHITELIST= ............" [05:01] it IS a bit daunting if you have no idea what you're doing. [05:01] ok [05:01] make sure "i810" is in there [05:01] terran4000: we'll maybe because I can't use it fully but it's so primitive...don't listen to me [05:01] WHEW [05:01] lol [05:01] sub[t]rnl: funny thing in the config file [05:01] sub[t]rnl: it says its STATIC IP! the one i wanted [05:01] thomas_newbie__: ... vim ... primative .... confused. but ok ^_^ [05:02] thomas_newbie__➜ what config file [05:02] terran4000: WHITELIST="nvidia intel ati radeon i810" [05:02] terran4000: just used to using kate or some GUI text editor thats all :S [05:02] terran4000: what do i do? P [05:02] Nexano: woot. that part is good [05:02] feh vim != primative! [05:02] Ok next is [05:03] sub[t]rnl: the interfaces text file [05:03] thomas_newbie__: vim is very complex actually. To the point where back in college I programmed and compiled a whole programming language in it. [05:03] thomas_newbie__➜ do you see -> iface eth0 inet static [05:03] sub[t]rnl: yeaa i know....but its not GUI like [05:03] Gui == slow. [05:03] GUI text editing is overrated :< [05:03] anywho [05:04] terran4000: knowing its late and easy to forget stuff, should i find some PCI ID and remove it from blacklist? [05:04] sub[t]rnl: yes sir [05:04] gui is fine, IDE is slow. [05:04] Nexano: on line BLACKLIST_PCIIDS="$T" [05:04] Espcially since java came out. [05:04] thomas_newbie__➜ if its setup with your address, netmask, and gateway the way you like it, for the settings to take effect, you'll need to sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [05:04] go on terran4000 [05:04] Nexano: change that line to: BLACKLIST_PCIIDS="" [05:04] yeaaa my quad core processor computer cant' handle a GUI text editor [05:05] terran4000: done [05:05] restart X and enjoy (hopefully) [05:05] thomas_newbie__: what are you using then? [05:05] sub[t]rnl: ty i think that is the solution i am looking for [05:05] sub[t]rnl: let me try [05:05] thomas_newbie__: the fact that your computer can handle it, makes non-gui editors a waste? :< [05:05] I used my computer yesterday...today I turned it on and it ran a file system check...says "Duplicate or Bad Block in use" and then is completley unresponsive...help pls?

[05:09] sorry, was trying to figure out who asked. [05:09] when it's got the os on it it is. [05:09] how soon after 4.0 release will be get a hardy heron release? [05:09] theres a -F option in the shutdown command to force a fsck on next boot [05:09] fscking mounted drives == bad. === Nexalol is now known as Nexano [05:09] yes, I know [05:10] the system tries to boot auto runs a check and then the "duplicate bad block" message [05:10] the only way to load it is through live cd? [05:10] yeah, on reboot works, but most don't like to do cli if they can avoid it. [05:10] abut I agree. [05:10] terran4000: wont boot thanks a lot [05:10] lol [05:10] j\k :p [05:10] Bad news with ndiswrapper.

[05:13] That makes sense, I like to do it via a livecd just so everything is "under my control" [05:13] aight so desktop effects work [05:13] but Konversation wont start terran4000 :p [05:13] lol [05:13] You're here aint ya.

[05:16] Really helps with switching between compiz and not-compiz without restarting X or killing anything. And it helps with some settings. [05:16] an icon that runs emerald --replace, kwin --replace or compiz --replace [05:17] And it sits in your taskbar for easy access. [05:17] and in your ram [05:17] like a lazy bum [05:17] :-) [05:17] Okay. Ndiswrapper is installed and loads at boot. going to knetworkmanager and telling it to connect...

When I connect to my domain.com/index.html it works only then [05:24] do you have your httpd.conf setup correctly?

[05:25] no, it sets webroot as well.

[06:22] while i don't want to start a potentially ugly flame war... you're not missing much. [06:23] KDE4 IS in the repos [06:23] You just have to set it up [06:23] Oh.. [06:23] So I would be able to sudo-apt get update it later? [06:23] one sec [06:23] sorry I misunderstood you earlier.. [06:23] kde 4.0 is NOT in the repos, it isn't released yet, however, chris0626891, you can install and then upgrade to 4.0 with an upgrade... in theory at least [06:23] Right.. [06:23] Hmm.. [06:23] its in the deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu gutsy main repo's [06:23] unfortunately this isn't theory, this is linux :) [06:24] true =P === Lazarus is now known as lazarus [06:24] But i wouldn't mind being a guinny pig. [06:24] http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php [06:24] could anyone point me in the right direction for a text to speech program? [06:25] !info festival [06:25] Did they have the actual GUI all set in place for the RC2 release? [06:25] festival: general multi-lingual speech synthesis system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.4.3-21ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 680 kB, installed size 2048 kB [06:25] Or have they upgraded the packages since then? [06:25] http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+text+to+speech [06:25] and also.. would I be upgrading to Hardy, or can I stay in Gutsy.. [06:25] (I'm sorry I'm asking so many questions! =P ) [06:26] chris0626891: is all more or less works. [06:26] You just have to download it, set it up and launch it [06:26] *it all [06:26] Pardon my grammar and spelling. The sleeping pills are starting to take effect. [06:26] floattttt [06:27] :D [06:27] float? old school ... binary is the only way to go man [06:27] * lascar is at an impasse [06:27] what do you mean "launch" it, simply go back to the kdm and select KDE4? [06:27] well I'll dive in and see if I can't figure it out.. [06:27] Thanks for your help guys. [06:27] One quick question though. Should I upgrade to Hardy before install KDE4-rc2? [06:28] it wont make a difference [06:28] 1st question, probably yes, 2nd question: wouldn't make a difference [06:29] who owns the arial font? [06:29] Acrobat? [06:29] no clue, but probably adobe [06:29] yeah, adobe! [06:29] thats what I meant [06:30] The typeface was designed in 1982 by Robin Nicholas and Patricia Saunders for Monotype Typography. [06:30] off wiki [06:30] i thought microsoft owned it [06:30] They probably do =P [06:30] well is using that mscorefonts package in the repo's legal? [06:31] font designers are creepy [06:31] theres a whole cult of em [06:31] lol [06:32] sooo... easy(ish) way to migrate the OS to another drive? [06:32] some one ought to design some decent fonts for the linux interface. its always the first thing i change after an install [06:32] i dont think you can do that and if you could it prob wouldnt be recommended [06:33] just backup and reinstall [06:33] Daisuke_Ido➜ dd? [06:33] i'va already backed up, i would really prefer not reinstalling though [06:33] sub[t]rnl: considered it. [06:33] wouldn't the two have to not be mounted in order for that to work? [06:33] yewp [06:34] hrm [06:34] usually when you don't reinstall something conflicts and you have a neverending pack of problems to deal with [06:34] so livecd. [06:34] sigma: this isn't windows. [06:34] Daisuke_Ido➜ yeah, might be the best bet [06:34] good point [06:35] !info mondo [06:35] mondo: powerful disaster recovery suite. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.22-1 (gutsy), package size 404 kB, installed size 1144 kB [06:35] !info mindi > sub[t]rnl [06:35] however, i'm also considering doing a clean gutsy install, i've been upgrading since edgy. [06:36] im always amazed at how later releases of linux get faster whilst the opposite is true for windows [06:37] sigma: lol ... not always true. But true enough :-) [06:37] wow, terran4000 confuses me [06:37] :> [06:37] I have that effect on people. [06:38] well ok i only really noticed it between xp and vista, that was just disgraceful [06:38] It also managed to get me 3 raises at my last job ^_^ [06:38] :D [06:38] windows blew it with vista [06:38] big time [06:38] Windows ME2 [06:38] Daisuke_Ido➜ lol [06:38] hello [06:38] !hi | ubuntu [06:38] ubuntu: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! [06:38] it's a depressing thought, but that's about where they went with the release... [06:39] u got that right, its like they were trying to get everyone to buy a new computer [06:41] Hi! I just got a HDTV, and am trying to set my resolution to 1080p. I think I configured my xorg.conf correctly but its not working, and defaulting to the resolution I used for my other monitor. Please help, my xorg.conf is at http://pastebin.ca/847668. [06:42] Hmm ok [06:42] Everything APPERS to work fine. [06:43] to me?// [06:43] With KDE4 RC2 [06:43] I believe they even updated the repos [06:43] since I don't believe they had the new login theme at KDE4RC2 [06:43] also its at 51 hz [06:43] not sixty like i want [06:44] Hmm none of these Widgets seem really... useful =P [06:44] rc-1➜ lets see your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [06:45] KDE4 seems a lot more stable than I thought it was going to be. :P [06:46] Though.. for some odd reason, it seems like... It's features in customization are lacking a tiny bit =( [06:46] This will probably be fixeed in 4.1 though [06:46] *thinks to himself* Wonder how this will drain my battery. [06:46] hi, do i need to install any additional package to make kde4 usable? right now it's just a bar on the bottom that doesn't respond to any click and 3 entry right click context menu on backgorund.. [06:46] kde 3.0 wasn't a shining example of excellence [06:46] Myrth. [06:46] by this point, though, the 3.5 line is pretty nice [06:46] I just installed KDE4.. [06:47] With the webpage.. [06:47] Want me to give you the link? [06:47] http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php [06:47] I used those easy instructions [06:47] No "compiling" required [06:47] chris0626891: i followed this too [06:47] shame they're dropping 3.5 completely in favour of 4 [06:47] chris0626891: what functionality you have in there [06:47] sub[t]rnl: hmm it says its at the right res now, but the sides and top/bot of the screen are cut off [06:48] still want the log [06:48] Daisuke_Ido: i've read that they're going to continue 3.5 [06:48] Everything. [06:48] Yeah [06:48] I just noticed that too [06:48] It's cut off.. [06:48] rc-1➜ no it wont complain if its getting set now [06:48] Let me try changing my screen resolution [06:48] Ah [06:49] ah thanks, what should i try then [06:49] Theres a "Screen Resize / Rotate" button... [06:49] can anyone help rescue me? [06:49] But.. it doesn't do anything when I cliced it =P [06:49] chris0626891: on the tv or in kde control somewhere [06:49] rc-1➜ well, my friend hard coded panels into the top and bottom to act as "buffers" and his works great. [06:49] is konqueror going to use webkit now? [06:49] rc-1➜ not elegent, hacky, but it worked [06:50] hurray i fixed it! [06:50] forgive the complete neophyte question but how do I run fsck on my hard drive from a live cd? [06:50] rc-1➜ do tell [06:50] How rc-1? [06:50] had to change my TV setting from PC to 1080p [06:50] The screen thing? [06:50] o_0 [06:50] thought the PC setting would work :) [06:50] Myrth[home]: Qt4.4 is going to ship with it, so I don't think there will be any escaping it [06:50] Does that fix the cut off? [06:50] thanks for help [06:50] Rc-1 does this fix the "cut off" taskbar? [06:50] yup [06:50] How do I do that? [06:51] What menu option did you go to? [06:51] 1. set your res to whats in my xorg.conf, 2. restart X, 3. set your TV to 1080p instead of PC [06:51] Would anyone know of a command line command that can fix apt-get and Adept install issues. not sure what the issue is but I remember there was a command once upon a time I did use? [06:51] i hit "format" on the remote [06:51] !apt-fix [06:51] 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 » [06:51] you may have to go to menu or something [06:52] .... =( [06:52] I don't have any remote =P [06:52] forgive the complete neophyte question but how do I run fsck on my hard drive from a live cd? [06:52] geh, so broke in WoW .. [06:52] see if you can do it with the TV buttons [06:52] look for menu [06:52] ubuntu fsck /dev/hda [06:52] aww man this looks so great now off to watch some ripped HDDVDS with my girl :) [06:53] Q-collective: i'm sorry for lagging, but is webkit opensource? [06:53] chris0626891: if you need help still in a bit im everynothing@gmail.com [06:54] it is saying " [06:54] fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005) [06:54] e2fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005) [06:54] Couldn't find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks... [06:54] fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hda [06:54] The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 [06:54] filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 [06:54] filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock [06:54] is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: [06:54] e2fsck -b 8193 [06:54] sorry [06:54] oh i see, i had deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu gutsy main [06:55] sorry, which is the spanish channel [06:55] do i need to remove my packages or upgrade would be fine after changing the source to new one?

I have a paper on my computer due tomorrow that I really would like to reclaim [06:56] Myrth[home]: yes, it is opensource [06:56] nexamac: only trying to make some gold in wow (and failing at it). What's up? [06:56] ill grind you the gold if you fix my sound [06:56] Q-collective: did it become recently? if not why khtml didn't benefit from it until now? [06:57] how do you use something like festival? [06:57] heh [06:57] a text to speech program [06:57] nexamac: ok, you know the usual questions ... [06:57] Intel Corporation 82801H [06:57] testing the speakers gives me no sound [06:57] mixers are set according to the guides [06:57] what is a "bad magin number in super-block"? [06:57] how do i explain linux that my sda7 root pertition is bigger, than 20GB? [06:58] i've resized it [06:58] nexamac: first question, if you (in command line) type: alsamixer [06:58] What does it say for "Card: "? [06:58] always got terminal up [06:58] alsamixer done [06:59] HDA Intel [06:59] good enough [06:59] What's the Master level at? [06:59] that would be PCM? [06:59] PCM != Master [06:59] Two different controls [07:00] fakk [07:00] wrong button :< [07:00] lol [07:00] Myrth[home]: the two have a little history, you should read up on dot.kde.org for more about that. But in a nushell: Apple forked khtml a few years ago into webkit, Apple remained it opensource but was a lousy maintainer and projectleader, recently Apple recommitted itself to the opensource development, kde devs didn't trust them at first glans and there was a lot of discussion going on whether keeping khtml or switching to [07:00] webkit, now trolltech seems to have made the choice for them with the inclusion of webkit in Qt 4.4, so keeping khtml seperate is rather silly now and effords are made to merge the two codebases into one. [07:00] Nexano: ok ... so what are the readings for Master and PCM? [07:01] PCM says 100<>100 [07:01] cant find PCM! tho [07:01] Q-collective: thanks :) [07:01] count? :< [07:01] o.O [07:01] Q-collective: almost completely correct :) [07:01] Not unless headphones/headphone-jack is where you plugged in the speakers [07:01] macbook [07:01] built in speakers ;) [07:02] oh yeah ... [07:02] well [07:02] Jucato: woot :p [07:02] also says 100 [07:02] ok, so you're using internal ones [07:02] yesh [07:02] well like I said before, check Master [07:02] their all set to 100 :< [07:02] Jucato: which part did I got wrong? :> [07:02] kk [07:02] For some reason I don't have a home directory now =P [07:03] Q-collective: except for the parts about "trolltech... made the decision for them" and the "keeping khtml separate is rather silly now" :) [07:03] But.. I remember there being a fix posted.. SOMEWHERE.. [07:03] chris0626891: good job :p [07:03] I just can't remember where... [07:03] Jucato: why is that wrong? [07:03] :( [07:03] Where do they store all of the KDE4 bugs / fixes? [07:03] ok, new idea nexamac [07:03] open up kmix [07:03] shoot terran4000 [07:03] Hello ... sorry having odd connection to irc problems.... Any other commands someone might have to help me fix Adept and/or apt-get program? the error reads "There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages" Any ideas? [07:04] And then open the mixer window [07:04] Q-collective: trolltech hasn't made the decision for KDE... in fact, it has only made the decision making even more complicated. and keeping khtml isn't silly, because khtml is used in a lot more places than just Konqueror... so to be able really replace it, QWebKit still needs a lot of work (for the KDE side of things) [07:04] terran4000: and then? ;o [07:05] (speaking of khtml as a kpart used in many places) [07:05] KevinAlaska: sudo apt-get install -f [07:05] QWebKit? a fork of Webkit? [07:05] just for fun, crank up every single slider to the top [07:05] Jucato: I see [07:05] and any green led thingy should be lit [07:05] thank you jussi01... I think that is the command I used once upon a time.. .cheers. :) [07:05] All of this under the Output tab of course [07:05] terran4000: done [07:05] tho PCM doesnt have a green LED [07:06] I know [07:06] Myrth[home]: a Port of WebKit to Qt [07:06] ok, test some sound [07:06] sorry, it's QtWebKit... [07:06] like with amarok or xmms [07:06] will do [07:06] KevinAlaska: :) [07:06] got it [07:07] terran4000: its playing, but theres no sound :/ [07:07] k [07:07] stick it on repeat so it keeps playing [07:07] how are the main ubuntu repositories for kde4 'testing' packages? [07:07] hey, i switched from http://ppa.launchpad.net/tsimpson/ubuntu to http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu, do i need to remove kde4 and install new or upgrade is ok?

[07:39] anyway. kde4 rc2 doesnt have adept oO [07:39] and in my systemsettings i saw no option to configure restricted driver for my card [07:39] intel 9345ABG [07:39] ... google is not helping too [07:39] if i run in Xephyr per kde4-rc2 manual "startkde" it runs kde 3.5 [07:40] run /usr/lib/kde4/bin/startkde [07:40] i installed the kde4 from livecd.. i didnt have kde3 before [07:40] Nexano, hehe i think its all information i know [07:41] KDE4 is not really 'stable' in my opinion. It's pretty and all, but it's not for production use 'yet' [07:41] With it's final release it should be but RC2 is just that: Release Candidate.

[08:40] terran4000_, seems ok to me [08:40] ActionParsnip: aptitude [08:40] terran4000_: because the redirect ">>" is done by the shell (as the user) [08:40] xoqa, the full command please [08:40] ActionParsnip: sudo aptitude install diveintopython [08:40] geh, makes sense I guess [08:40] terran4000_: echo "thing" |sudo tee -a file" is the way (-a is append) [08:40] so hwat, i dont do it afterall? :> [08:41] eh, ask stdin to translate.. [08:41] it's 3am. I gotta be off. [08:41] thanks for your help :p [08:41] replace "sudo echo" with "echo" and replace ">>" with " | sudo tee -a " [08:41] xoqa, just type "diveintopython &" at CLI (without quotes) [08:43] xoqa, http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/doc/diveintopython its in the repos so you can install it with sudo apt-get install diveintopython [08:43] Sorry for not fixing you're problem.

[13:25] 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ether net Controller (rev 13) [13:25] hi, I have a weird conection system at my campus. Basically, I have to introduce a user name and password to access the internet. (though I have no knowledge of or configuration for a proxy server) So when I open a browser I get prompted for username and password. Obviously this is fine for browsing the intenet but is akward for command line programs or other more "complicated connections." For instance, adept(i use kubuntu) could not connect to the servers. I so [13:25] //user:password@rest.of.the.url to all the urls in the source list. Unfortunately for packages that aren't downloaded from these urls, for instance the on free flash, still fail. For some programs like wget that allow the http-user argument I can alias them and their is no problem. Unfortunately for programs like amarok (internet streams) or kopete, I don't seem to get promted a password and conections fail. Does anyone know of a way to set a default http passwor [13:25] at least for kde? Sorry for the long post, not used to chating. [13:25] To MGalaxy: what de you mean by "personal time organizer"? Something like Korganizer?

[13:47] I just hear that the Ubuntu systerm may ruin the hardware of my laptop! [13:47] (ironic) [13:48] articpenguin3800: I like the idea KDE4 is going to part of the next release.

[13:49] Jucato, qubuntu: sorry, it was a joke [13:49] yes, u said it [13:49] articpenguin3800: Another point of view: Yep, but Kubuntu has the freedom to include KDE4 in Hardy. [13:49] its sad for the people who dont want to upgrade to new releases for 3 years [13:50] articpenguin3800: And for me the second was the sympatic choice. [13:50] sahin_h: it has always been the plan to have a KDE 4 version, with or without LTS [13:50] articpenguin3800: it's to make KDE4 for the next release [13:50] btw why is flash plugin installation broken (installing from the repository i take it ) [13:50] what changed is where we focus/put weight on now... [13:50] Jucato: Yes, I know, however the developers now can focus on KDE4 havily. [13:50] i feel bad for the people who are still with Dapper drake [13:50] articpenguin3800: it's their choice [13:51] articpenguin3800: for me LTS is just a name tag [13:51] articpenguin3800: My server at my home still on dapper.

[13:57] Jucato: right [13:57] articpenguin3800: those are basically dead releases [13:57] (i mean ati and x-org conf) [13:57] dbmoodb: "ati utility"? [13:57] ActionParsnip: Ok I managed to install tracert. Having problams with the command. Where should I tracert to? Wold my gateway bet the proxy? Thanks for your help!

(probably doesn't) [13:58] articpenguin3800: just what it looked like? I think there are screenshots floating around...like a museum of ubuntu screenshots [13:58] so samy you can't use the other projector when you hook it up ? mm [13:58] i use BC??? wifi card in HP NX6325 notebook [13:58] - nothing actually happens ...

[13:59] i have a bug i think ... if i move a panel that i just have added from the head panel to an other place its going back to its place before.. the head panel [13:59] dbmoodb: the screen function simply doesn seem to be implemented...

[14:03] irc - i didn't know [14:04] any decent irc client would have that. if it doesn't, it's not decent :P [14:04] excuse me : is there any one using laptop when you know the OS may ruin your hardware within a short time? [14:05] dbmoodb: your links helps. i'll have to try that. [14:05] If you enable laptop mode, then it will enable aggressive power management on the drive and that may lead to some reduction in hard drive lifespan. [14:06] how do u feel about that ? [14:06] i can't sudo apt-get anything [14:06] eh qubuntu [14:06] mark__: what does sudo apt-get update tell you? [14:06] enable laptop mode will probably be good, if you install the laptop utilities [14:06] mark__: if you need to paste long lines of text, use a pastebin [14:06] !pastebin | mark__ [14:06] mark__: 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) [14:07] besides that only affects certain drives and it is not ubuntu alone [14:07] dbmoodb: whats the next? [14:07] - so i take it samy crashed ? [14:07] how to complete the safer settings [14:08] it just says it couldn't find the package [14:08] ah well you can use it or you can just modify /etc/acpi/power.sh i think [14:08] the package being xawtv [14:08] dbmoodb:, qubuntu: http://ubuntudemon.wordpress.com/2007/10/26/laptop-hardrive-killer-bug/ [14:09] juscato i know [14:09] !info xawtv [14:09] xawtv: X11 TV application. In component universe, is extra. Version 3.95.dfsg.1-6ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 241 kB, installed size 704 kB [14:09] dbmoodb: can do me a favor to write down more details? [14:09] it can't find it though [14:09] "laptop-mode is disabled by default. If you have enabled laptop-mode (in /etc/default/acpi-support) you should definitely disable it!" [14:09] you just modify the -B to be -254 [14:09] ah jucato that is not at solution [14:10] yep, just wondering about your early advice.. don't have a laptop anyway :P [14:10] (lucky people...) [14:10] rofl [14:10] dbmoodb: what's that mean by 254? [14:10] or I have a laptop.. but... well... [14:10] ? know how to fix my problem ? [14:11] Jucato : u just simply shutdown that function? [14:11] pretty much [14:11] according to that blog... but I wouldnt know :) [14:11] q on a laptop ? === moha is now known as mohi|afk [14:12] I dont want it, for i may use my batter sometimes [14:12] !away > mohi|afk [14:12] yes [14:12] jussi01: ooh! sorry... ;) [14:13] mohi|afk: :) [14:14] it seems that im nuts to open the laptop mode, i think [14:14] Jucato ,dbmoodb: but i need it [14:15] Jucato ,dbmoodb: set -B to -254? [14:15] one sec [14:15] qubuntu: ask dbmoodb, I don't know anything about it [14:15] let me check [14:15] first i want you to check something [14:15] Jucato ,dbmoodb: check what? [14:15] i recommend you do a sudo apt-get install smartmontools [14:15] can I configure my trash so that files I send there are instantly deleted rather than stored in a "recycle bin" like way? [14:16] Jucato ,dbmoodb: i did [14:16] then run sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda|grep 193 [14:16] qubuntu: please stop asking me, coz I don't know [14:16] ForgeAus: Shift+Del? [14:16] so you can see the number [14:16] Jucato :sorry [14:17] Jucato that doesn't work when I drag and drop to trash icon does it? [14:17] ie you suggest I shift del or rightclick and delete it that way rather than dragging to trash? [14:17] of course.. because you're moving to the trash... unless your trash has a gaping hole, then it'd be moved to the trash :) [14:17] dbmoodb: no number there [14:17] ops ah ... [14:17] brb [14:17] ForgeAus: yep. if you're sure you don't need it [14:18] I have my windows recycle bin as a delete rather than a storage area [14:18] dbmoodb: when i run :sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep Load_Cycle_Count, it show the number 14042 [14:18] this isn't exactly windows.. so I'm not sure it will behave like windows everytime :) [14:18] maybe there's a feature.. but so far haven't seen one :) [14:19] oh ok [14:19] how old is the laptop qu [14:19] dbmoodb: then seconds later the number become 14050 [14:19] ah crap [14:19] * emilsedgh gives a piece of cake to Jucato [14:19] - yes it appear you are affected [14:20] emilsedgh: thanks.. but I'm a bit Vista right now [14:20] er.. I meant "bloated" [14:20] !vista [14:20] vista is the new operating system by the evil overlords from Redmond.

[14:22] dbmoodb: too bad to choose vista [14:22] lol [14:22] one sec [14:22] ok well is your disk hda or sda ? [14:23] dbmoodl: sda [14:23] dbmoodl: is there any difference? [14:23] run [14:23] hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda [14:23] and edit [14:24] i have set power.sh to 255 [14:25] you can try 255 [14:25] dbmoodl: what that mean? [14:25] hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda then [14:25] that means turn off power saving features - pretty much [14:25] A value of 255 will disable apm on the drive. [14:25] and /dev/sda is obviously the disk drive in question. [14:27] What is the recommend way of installing acrobat reader on kubuntu? Should I use Automatix or can you recommend any repository? [14:27] how do i turn on radio wifi on my a6vm laptop? in windows Fn + F2 doe- it [14:27] !automatix | daniel100119 [14:27] daniel100119: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [14:27] daniel100119: unfortunately, there is not an official acrobat package anymore, because (i think) of legal reasons. [14:27] daniel100119: try kpdf and see if you miss something [14:27] daniel100119: there might be some unofficial ones floating on the web [14:27] dbmoodl:/dev/sda: Permission denied [14:28] qubuntu: ok so re run sudo smartctl -a /dev/hda | grep Load_Cycle_Count [14:28] !medibuntu [14:28] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [14:28] daniel100119: ^ [14:28] ah i meant sudo ...

[14:31] oh .. [14:31] well i search in synaptic for dvb and it comes up with nothing [14:31] you used sudo [14:31] 14090 [14:31] daniel100119: that you can type that command, and have ubotu be more verbose to use about a general reason why things like automatix are not necessarily good (and in this case specifically, they're pretty pretty bad) [14:31] !find dvb [14:31] Found: dvb-utils, dvbackup, dvbsnoop, dvbstream, dvbtune (and 6 others) [14:31] so what was it before and now wait a few seconds to a minute [14:31] dbmoodl: added 1-2 per second [14:31] daniel100119: please pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file [14:32] are you sure ?

[14:35] right click/ unmount? [14:35] stmartin: yes [14:35] ok [14:35] I have other question [14:35] I have dual-boot (win xp and ubuntu) [14:36] how can I see the disk drives C: and D: via ubuntu?

[14:40] ah yeah [14:40] make the change in power.sh [14:41] and be aware that if you use suspend a lot you should probably use hdparm to set it up so it doesn't exit that mode [14:41] is that mean i cant your my laptop batter? [14:41] LjL: how bad is it? [14:42] eh [14:42] mark__: one second, i was busy with something else [14:42] no i mean do you use suspend ... [14:42] LjL: no problem [14:42] it is a state of low power usage [14:42] mark__: you just need to disable the cdrom repository [14:42] dbmoodl: sometimes [14:43] mark__: it is pretty bad, because almost everything is commented out. the easiest thing to do is to generate a new list, this site can do it automatically [14:43] !easysource > mark__ (mark__, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:43] oh yeah....

[14:44] well don't worry about it too much qu - most of the time you will be set now, when you supend something the -B 254 will be removed (from working) - so you might want to just issue a sudo hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda after you return from suspending or just install hdparm and configure it [14:44] dbmoodl: lucky man [14:44] ?

[16:06] voonte, you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [16:06] onishidato: in the konsole? [16:06] like this (/ect/X11/....) [16:07] yeah [16:07] cd [16:07] ie. cd /etc/X11 [16:07] to open it?? [16:07] Gulars, I've set the vga mode in menu.lst, what else do I need to change? [16:08] onishidato: that will take you to it on the command line... try it and see [16:08] this line: #color cyan/blue white/blue [16:09] Doesn't that just change the colors in the grub menu? [16:09] (ie: remove the hash mark) [16:09] will kubuntu 8.04 include kde 4.1? [16:09] wasn't that what you asked? [16:09] tinin: no, KDE4.1 will be end around end of year [16:10] thanx [16:10] Gulars, no hehe. I meant the text when different modules are being loaded and displayed a [ OK ] when it's done.

[16:10] jussi01 thanks [16:10] hmm [16:10] onishidato: :) [16:11] Gulars, I'll take a look at usplash thanks [16:11] and jussi01: can you tell me how to create a new folder?? with console [16:11] onishidato: mkdir foldername [16:12] !cli [16:12] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [16:12] voonte, that's just for not displaying the messages (ie: showing the kubuntu logo instead) [16:12] jussi01: i'm newbie here :) [16:12] onishidato: thats fine. see the message from the bot ^^:) [16:12] I'm thinking along the lines of looking at he init scripts, but really I don't know [16:13] Gulars, ok, then that's not what I want. I suppose usplash is similar to gentoo's gensplash then. I found the /lib/lsb/init-functions which has the color stuff [16:13] also had support for "fancy" output, that might be what I'm looking for [16:15] jussi01: thnks [16:15] jussi01: :) === mneisen_ is now known as mneisen [16:20] voonte, interesting - will check that out myself ;) === gerard is now known as gerardd [16:23] where I can see my swap partition?

[16:26] why I have /dev/sda6 none swap sw 0 0? [16:27] "none" there means that it doesn't have a mount point [16:27] stmartin: this entry in fstab seems to be correct. type " free" in the shell and take a look ... [16:27] "swap" means that it's a swap-type, "sw" is the swap option [16:28] anyone running kooldock? [16:28] and how to make it be mounted on boot? [16:29] or how to recognize, if it is mounted on boot? [16:29] [00:28] stmartin: this entry in fstab seems to be correct. type " free" in the shell and take a look ...

[16:29] it is ok [16:29] so it's mounted. it's automatically done by the system [16:30] er.. not "mounted"..

[16:31] no [16:31] just, I want to know it [16:31] Jucato: good question ... [16:31] stmartin: read a book :-) [16:32] I don't know which is booted and which not [16:32] actually, I am not sure [16:32] hard to convince :) [16:32] any help? [16:32] you saw the output of "free". you are sure now. :-) [16:33] and for / and /home? [16:33] or maybe you want to use something like "xosview" . nive tool for X.

[16:37] krokodil: that's why I wanted to know why you need to do it... If it is in some script, just make it check for which user it's being run as, and not do su if you don't need to [16:37] i'd like to be sure... [16:37] stmartin: really? "defaults Uses the default options that are rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async." [16:38] stmartin: then "auto and noauto With the auto option, the device will be mounted automatically (at bootup, just like I told you a bit earlier, or when you issue the mount -a command). auto is the default option.

[16:38] stmartin: I don't have to post every paragraph in that page do I? :) [16:39] ok, sorry [16:39] stmartin: a quick google search on "errors=remount-ro" yields this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=315850 [16:39] krokodil: you are welcome. by the way, if you use su with - and not with -l, it's a bit picky and wants the - to be the last su option (at least officially) [16:40] Lynoure : ok :) i have to leave, bye all [16:41] some days i hate linux...

[16:42] ok, thank you very much for the help [16:42] I appreciate your efforts [16:43] nvidia geforce 7600 GS, using the nvidia driver, and it was working fine before i restarted the machine... there may have been a kernel update that broke things, perhaps, i don't know.

[16:47] Does ubuntu automatically take care of rebuilding the nvidia driver when there's a new kernel update?` [16:47] Jucato: the reason i was looking at doing a fresh install is because i've been upgrading since edgy [16:47] voonte: supposed to [16:47] if you install from the repos like you should [16:47] voonte: if you use the package driver [16:47] ok [16:47] packaged* [16:50] here goes something...

[18:01] hello guys. [18:01] mathias_: its impossible for that to exist by definition [18:01] mathias_: Not usre if it's the same, but there is a nice firefox extension called Tab Mix Plus [18:02] mathias_: ietab really just opens the page with ie and then sticks it in a tab [18:02] ardchoille: i will try that [18:02] mathias_: so, by definition, its impossible to have ietab on linux [18:03] i just use the user agent switcher extension [18:03] coreymon77: i figuerd.. but i want somthing that can read those pages that mozilla dont do [18:03] Is there a character map available?

[18:05] mathias_: firefox extensions are not on adept, they are on the firefox website [18:06] coreymon77: well lazy or not i still want to use the page [18:06] Or, failing a charmap, does anyone know how to enter a german estset? (looks a bit like a B) [18:06] mathias_: go add it as its easy to do--almost no effort required :} [18:06] mathias_: as i said, 99% of the time all you need to do is trick the site into thinking you are using ie and it works [18:06] mathias_: If you're interested, it's here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122 [18:07] ardchoille: thats not what he wants [18:08] mathias_: why do you need ie, does the site just tell you that it requires ie, or is there another reason [18:08] mathias_: are activex controls used? [18:08] bazhang: user agent switcher works pretty much all the time for me [18:08] coreymon77: some options dosnt work in firefox [18:08] Never mind - I found a ß on the internet and can now copy/paste it!

[19:49] its an ancient camera === word|sleep is now known as word [19:52] what's the difference between purging a package and removing a package? [19:54] ibilic: purging removes any leftover config files [19:55] ibilic: purging also removes "configuration" files, which includes things like init scripts [19:55] !lamp [19:55] hmm is there a special kernel for SMP or is it enabled by default? [19:55] 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+) [19:55] basically anything flagged by the package as a config file [19:55] nils_: SMPness is now determined at boot time [19:55] I have a problem with vmware-server... should I purge it and install it again? or is that useless? [19:55] so you don't need a special SMP kernel [19:55] ibilic: depends on the problem [19:55] trappist: currently only shows me one cpu in /proc/cpuinfo [19:56] trappist: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51381/ [19:56] nils_: last time I had that problem I eventually learned one of my CPU slots was a dummy slot :/ [19:56] trappist: hehe. It's dualcore [19:56] trappist: hopefully there is no dummy core ;) [19:57] ibilic: looks like maybe you need to run vmware-config.pl [19:57] ibilic: which requires packages like build-essential and linux-headers [19:57] ibilic: at least, that's what I'd say if you'd installed vmware from the tarball. I've never used the package myself. [19:59] hello [19:59] I have both build-essential and linux-headers... now how do I run vmware-config.pl? [19:59] why konversation dont allow dcc send from user? [19:59] hello [19:59] It says "connection refused" [19:59] ibilic: again, I'm speaking from tarball experience, but "sudo vmware-config.pl" [19:59] bjr [19:59] I have active network, so no passive method [20:00] in french [20:00] Jeroi: one or the other of you is probably going through a firewall [20:00] !fr [20:00] Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [20:00] merci [20:00] well passive can connet to active user [20:00] I have autoaccept [20:00] why in Applications--->System Tools---->NTFS Configuration Tool, it gives me to enable read/write for all drives? [20:01] stmartin: why not? === i_got_5_on_it is now known as robot_jesus [20:02] stmartin: ntfs was read-only in linux for a long time. there are some caveats with enabling read-write, but it's available, so it's optional. [20:02] i want to choose only sda1 [20:02] not all [20:02] trappist: it doesn't work... I'll just purge it [20:02] trappist as in trappist monk ? [20:02] stmartin: do you have other ntfs partitions? [20:02] robot_jesus: yeah, like that [20:02] yes [20:02] robot_jesus: not a monk though, just a beer fan [20:02] 2 partitions [20:02] sda1 and sda5 [20:02] stmartin: might need to handle that manually via /etc/fstab [20:03] what to do in there? [20:03] stmartin: or there might be somewhere else to do one at a time, I dunno, I don't have any ntfs partitions [20:03] remove the partition that u dont wantto read/write [20:03] trappist: me too :) [20:03] Greenery: how? [20:03] stmartin: you could enable it on all, see what it does in fstab, then disable all and duplicate the change for the one you want [20:03] trappist: have you tried leffe ? [20:04] whats your favorite trappist beer :) [20:04] robot_jesus: it's not a trappist ale, and this is offtopic, but yes :) [20:04] instead of ntfs-3g, what to write? [20:04] [ 0.000000] WARNING: NR_CPUS limit of 1 reached. Processor ignored. [20:04] and there it is [20:04] robot_jesus: #kubuntu-offtopic [20:04] on terminal type this: kdesu kate /etc/fstab [20:05] then remove the partiton that u dont want to read/write [20:05] but make a backup first [20:05] nils_: woah [20:05] whoever compiled that was on drugs. [20:05] I opened fstab file [20:06] what is the package name for build-essentials? [20:07] Cheers! [20:07] snarkster: build-essential [20:07] !build-essentials [20:07] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [20:07] nils_: what version of ubuntu are you running? [20:07] trappist: 7.10 [20:08] nils_: I only have dual core, and my /proc/cpuinfo shows both cores... you're not running a weird kernel, are you? [20:08] trappist: obviously I do, but that one was installed by default [20:09] nils_: I have no guesses for you. I'm running the default gutsy kernel too, and I have two entries in my cpuinfo. [20:09] hmm there is an -386 kernel and a generic kernel, generic uses both cores [20:09] ah [20:09] I'm running -generic [20:09] guess that explains it [20:10] hi 1 q'n: dcop ksmserver ksmserver logout 0 2 2 [20:11] yeah [20:11] allows me to shutdown my kde session and halt the machine from a script, right? [20:11] now cpufreq doesn't work, strange [20:11] rjb: not willing to try it myself, but maybe. why? [20:11] is there a way to hibernate instead of halting? kde 3.5.8 on kubuntu gutsy [20:12] test [20:12] rjb: run kdcop and see what's available [20:12] This processor "AMD Athlon(tm) X2 Dual Core Processor BE-2300" is known _not_ to support power-saving. [20:12] hehe [20:12] only needs 45W anyways [20:12] trappist: what do you mean by why? [20:12] trappist: kdcop won't tell me that [20:13] rjb: ah I see, you're right... [20:14] Hi. I got s2ram working with s2ram -f -p -m but now I don't get what I need to do so that s2ram runs with those options, too, when I close the lid. Also, there aren't any suspend / hibernate buttons in the logout dialog. How can I set these things up? [20:14] the point is to be able to schedule a shutdown by 'at', for instance [20:15] or by kalarm, if one prefers [20:16] or if you want to leave a long job running but have the machine go to sleep once it's complete [20:16] rjb: looks like hibernate isn't an options [20:16] *option [20:17] Greenery thanks. It helped. [20:17] rjb: http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/3.4-api/kdecore/html/classKApplication.html#w35 [20:17] whatever, you can invent other use cases [20:17] ^^ [20:17] hello [20:17] trappist: http://api.kde.org/3.5-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdecore/html/kapplication_8h-source.html [20:17] Greenery, but why it doesn't give me option to choose in NTFS COnfiguration tool? [20:17] is more up to date [20:18] but i know about that [20:18] I have ubuntu 6.06 LST Dapper :) [20:18] stmartin: that i'm not sure, i use the manual configuration only cos auto configuration doesnt work for me [20:18] rjb: so, looks like the options are limited there [20:18] the question is, might there be some other way to achieve this [20:18] other than calling out to ksmserver from dcop [20:18] I'm sure there is, maybe through apic? [20:19] stmartin: just in case u want to read/write the other ntfs partition that u've recently removed, remember the line [20:19] my konquer uninstalled itself and adept is not allowing me to download packagers what do i do? [20:19] Greenery: what happens when u open NTFS Configuration tool? [20:19] rjb: maybe /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh [20:19] it gives u 2 options? [20:20] trappist: hmm maybe [20:20] stmartin: NTFS configuration tool won't open, so i have to use manually [20:20] I understand. [20:20] stmartin: so i have no idea how NTFS configuration tool looks like [20:21] have u ever tried to install it? [20:22] but is that what the power manager kicker applet is using? [20:22] stmartin: recently, no since the manual version works well enough for me [20:22] whyis the firefox statusbar so ugly in kubuntu? how can I change it appearance? === nils- is now known as nils_ [20:23] trappist: hibernate.sh calls /sbin/s2disk, but there is no such file on my system [20:23] MGalaxy: u could download other skins/themes for ur firefox if ur not satisfied wiotht he default one [20:23] *with [20:23] konquer is not working... can someone download smart boot manager and send it to me so i can reinstall kubuntu [20:24] rjb: sudo apt-get install uswsusp [20:24] hey i think i got it. it seems the power manager also exposes a dcop interface [20:25] Greenery: changing the theme doesnt work, in all themes the statusbar is the same [20:25] rjb: nice [20:25] MGalaxy: hmm it shouldn't be [20:26] MGalaxy: maybe u got extension that uses the statusbar location and has conflicts with the theme [20:28] Greenery: let me check, besides, Restart firefox does not work, it only closes FF, any solution? [20:28] "dcop $(dcop|grep ^power-manager) power-manager hibernate" is my guess [20:28] MGalaxy: sorry, have no idea about that [20:31] hello [20:31] hello [20:31] hello, is there an opposite of mkpasswd [20:32] my konquer isnt working i need help please [20:32] more details [20:32] SudoKing: haha you wish [20:32] =o [20:32] it just uninstalled itself [20:32] thebox: how?

[23:24] It's "interesting" rc 2 that is [23:24] I tried KDE4 and it was buggy enough yet that I decided to wait until Friday [23:24] at least there is finally a K buttin hehe [23:24] Jucato: the problem is that my borders disapear. [23:24] button* [23:25] I couldn't do any right-click config on the bar. [23:25] terran4000: i put mine to sleep, threated with feeding it to the dog :< [23:25] ive always had a k button on kde4 [23:25] I didn't have one on beta 2 or 3 [23:25] Jucato: i have compiz-fusion installed and i type "kde-window-decorator --replace" but blender and open office just won't get their borders back. [23:26] TheWhiteRook: you couldn't because that feature doesn't exist yet :) [23:26] NexaMac: o.O [23:26] ariane: ah compiz... try asking in #compiz-fusion [23:26] NexaMac: right, meowing right along. You are dual booting this mac right? [23:26] Jucato: ok thanks for the tip. [23:26] i dont think u can right click it yet. remember plasma is stil under heavy development [23:27] Jucato, for someone like me who has used kde for 4 years now, what kind of learning curve should I expect for kde 4.0? [23:27] not that much other than Plasma really. and even then remember that 4.0 is just the first in a series of long releases, so things can still change [23:28] Plasma and Dolphin (new default file manager) [23:28] wait... plasma? [23:28] very true, Jucato [23:28] i dont think its much of a learning curve for a end user. but yes it is for a programmer [23:28] nexamac: you and 'that' button [23:29] :< [23:29] wasnt me this time [23:29] lol [23:29] konqueror crashed the comp o_O [23:29] You're dual booting the mac right? [23:29] yes [23:29] And sound works on OS-X right? [23:29] i always dual boot so i have something to fall back on in case i mess up :P [23:29] yes [23:30] nexamac: did your sound randomly disappear? [23:30] how can I force the font DPI to a certain value? [23:30] nah, its just nexamac that just randomly disappears. [23:30] thanx.

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [23:30] remind me to use firefox [23:30] seriously [23:31] Heh. [23:31] but remember kde4.0.0 is only a technology review. so dont judge it too hard [23:32] terran4000: yes, sound works in osx [23:32] :P [23:32] nexamac: k [23:33] did anyone see that devs screenshot tour of the final kde4? [23:33] I think I did [23:33] it looks kinda interesting [23:33] nexamac: my sound wasn't working for a couple reboots, and I went into alsamixer and found that my PCM channel was turned all the way down, and turning it back up fixed it [23:34] there ya go, rook [23:34] TheWhiteRook: done that [23:34] oh. darn. [23:34] that's all I got on the sound thing. [23:34] im most intrigued by the amount of last minute work dat went into plasma [23:35] nexamac: you're part of the "audio" group? [23:35] ie: > groups | grep audio [23:35] the what? [23:35] hmm [23:35] nexamac adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner lpadmin admin netdev powerdev [23:35] guess so [23:35] yeah .. hmm [23:36] but it rely looks gud now [23:37] brb phone call [23:39] that was random >_> [23:39] Idea! Let's try something completely wack! [23:39] try playing a song as root [23:41] o-O [23:41] k [23:41] sec === wilson is now known as Wilson [23:42] any1 with raid0 install? [23:43] fincan: used to have one, what's up? [23:43] terran4000: root changed nothing [23:43] however [23:43] how do i mount something thats at /media/sdb1 to the storage folder? [23:43] im guessing its drivers knowing about the red light :/ [23:43] terran4000: I ve installation problem with raid0 setup since 7.04 [23:43] man [23:43] nexamac: so what is this red light you speak of? ?? [23:43] hi [23:44] ubuntu: wazup? [23:44] terran4000: told you last night :P where im supposed to insert a headset theres a red light on [23:44] nutin [23:44] fincan: can you be more detailed than that? [23:44] terran4000:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/110245 [23:44] nexamac: >_> I remember you telling me that ... but why is there a red light? [23:45] terran4000: my guess, drivers arent functioning or its not usable for other ghey reason [23:45] so [23:45] tell me, how do i uninstall sound drivers? never ever done that O_O [23:45] nexamac: rmmod [23:46] terran4000: there were no problems while I was using 6.10 but as I said since 7.04 I ve this problem that was reported in launchpad [23:46] fincan: I had a similar problem when trying to move my raid from 6.10 to 7.X [23:47] terran4000: could u solve the problem? [23:47] i noticed that when I loaded up this live kubuntu 64 bit cd that I get a string at btm of screen (about mapping) then black screen. Reading online I found a blod in which someone had the same prob, removed splash from the boot string and it worked. So I did. Worked but I see that there was some error msgs at the ebginning such as 'buffer i/o' thingies [23:47] fincan: well, you won't like my solution ...mostly because it's not one you'll want to do [23:47] terran4000: gave up using raid? XD [23:48] fincan: lol no. What I did was boot into something that could see the raid. Back it up 'somewhere' else. Then boot into 'current'/new system and build a new raid [23:49] nexamac: is that red light on when you're in os-x? [23:49] nope [23:49] what is that red light for anyway?!! [23:49] if i knew i would tell you :> [23:49] lol [23:49] it is prob a detionation warning device [23:49] what is the program to take screenshots with? [23:49] ScorpKing, hit printscreen [23:50] terran4000: lol some comfusing :), there s no solution still? [23:50] not working [23:50] ScorpKing, ksnapshot [23:50] ah [23:50] fincan: one sec. I'll look into it more in a few. [23:50] terran4000:ok :) [23:51] NickPresta: thanks. for some reason i have to start it manually [23:52] nexamac: can you do this for me: > lsmod | grep snd [23:53] never :< [23:53] pastebin in a sec [23:54] http://pastebin.com/d1cb9cb74 terran4000 [23:55] hello all.. I dont understand how to add my cell phone device to the computer?? any help? [23:55] I have an HTC touch phone [23:55] when i install kubuntu through deboostrap manually (just a apt-get install kubuntu-desktop after), admin mode doesn't work in the kcontrol configuration, i'm not sure how it all works, anything else i should do?, it spits out these errors: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51406/ [23:55] fincan: hmm lets try something funky [23:55] fincan: remove dmraid (outdated I think) and install "mdadm" [23:56] I remember dmraid giving me heaps of trouble till I just settled on mdadm [23:57] #linux aide [23:57] #linux_aide [23:57] terran4000: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/137319 [23:57] what rickhodgin wrote [23:57] possible solution? [23:57] terran4000: hmm but there s very important point that booting from live cd is enough to make one of raid membered hdds disable [23:58] ce trouve t'il des francais ici?
