| penos | this is so boring | 00:00 |
| sandeep | hey I have a question if you dont mind | 00:01 |
| penos | i mean... | 00:01 |
| penos | there are many difference ways to think | 00:01 |
| fizzz | been trying to turn off x server and login as root but not haveing any luck any ideas ? | 00:01 |
| penos | evil people like hitler or ghengis khan always sought to harm innocent people | 00:02 |
| penos | but person like mother teresa wanted to help weak people | 00:02 |
| bascule | !root | fizzz | 00:02 |
| ubotu | fizzz: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 00:02 |
| penos | you know what i mean? | 00:02 |
| sandeep | My internet in kubuntu has been running really really snail slow, when i go through windows, it works fine, but then I go back to kubuntu and everything is slow again, anyone know what the problem is? | 00:02 |
| penos | there are so many different types of people in this world | 00:02 |
| sandeep | Penos: only 2 | 00:02 |
| sandeep | noobs and pros | 00:03 |
| fizzz | well i have tried that but it keeps saying that i am running in x server | 00:03 |
| bascule | penos: off topic sure, but reflect on this, ghandi and hitler wlaked the earth at the same tome .. :) | 00:03 |
| Dr_willis | fizzz, kill the kdm service. | 00:03 |
| penos | bascule: who is ghandi? | 00:03 |
| Dr_willis | then as root use startx, of course I cant think of any reason you NEED to run X as root.. | 00:03 |
| fizzz | can i msg u dr w ? | 00:04 |
| Dr_willis | fizzz, i may be gone at any time.. so its best to not bother. :) | 00:04 |
| sandeep | penos: ,,,, srsly? lol :p Ghandi was one the best pasificts in the world, he helped india reach its independence | 00:04 |
| bascule | penos: *gasp* wikipedia will tell you, Einstein said "In years to come few will believe that such a one as this once walked the earth uin flesh and blood' | 00:04 |
| fizzz | well i tried the sudo command and it keeps saying not root when i was in the window | 00:05 |

| gleesond | where do I run Xephyr :1 | 00:41 |
| gleesond | in the terminal? | 00:41 |
| Dr_willis | That will launch a kde4 session inside its own window. | 00:42 |
| gleesond | should I put in rc.local | 00:42 |
| Dr_willis | you DONT do it in rc.local | 00:42 |
| Dr_willis | you can log out of KDE and there should also be a kde4 entry in the KDM sessions menu. | 00:42 |
| Dr_willis | Or you can test out kde4 in its own window | 00:42 |
| gleesond | oh ok | 00:42 |

| [ka]killer | is there anyway i can edit the xorg.conf file with out kdm running? | 01:30 |
| bmk789 | [ka]killer: "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 01:31 |
| Odd-rationale | [ka]killer: Did you back it up? | 01:31 |
| [ka]killer | sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf~ /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:31 |
| crafty_ | how do I add a new DVD writer to dapper drake? | 01:31 |
| bmk789 | crafty_: as in? | 01:32 |
| crafty_ | craftycorner | 01:32 |
| bmk789 | crafty_: most hardware like that should be plug and play | 01:32 |
| bmk789 | just try using it | 01:32 |
| [ka]killer | how do i save in nano | 01:33 |
| crafty_ | do I put a DVD in it before reboot? | 01:33 |
| bmk789 | [ka]killer: ctrl+x | 01:33 |
| crafty_ | because I had to unplug power to get dapper to start up | 01:33 |
| bmk789 | crafty_: you can, are you trying to boot the dvd? | 01:33 |
| k4ever | hi all | 01:33 |
| crafty_ | no | 01:33 |
| bmk789 | just put it in whenever then | 01:33 |
| [ka]killer | when i restart kdm i just get a _ flashign in the top left corner | 01:34 |
| bmk789 | wait | 01:34 |
| crafty_ | comp still thinks it's using the old dvd | 01:34 |
| bmk789 | crafty_: sure the IDE ribbon the the right way and jumpers set correctly and stuff? | 01:34 |
| crafty_ | yes, it is | 01:34 |
| bmk789 | [ka]killer: that means its not working | 01:34 |
| k4ever | anyone else out there using kde4 and can't create files or folders with dolphin-kde4 or konqueror-kde4? | 01:34 |
| [ka]killer | -_- think i couldnt figuter that out for myself? | 01:34 |
| kezef | hey all | 01:35 |
| bmk789 | k4ever: #kubuntu-kde4 | 01:35 |
| kezef | hey anyone know a repository for kde themes | 01:35 |
| Odd-rationale | kde-look.org | 01:35 |
| k4ever | wow there is an irc page for it all ready, thanks! | 01:35 |
| [ka]killer | got it | 01:35 |
| [ka]killer | had re-commented the endsection by mistake | 01:36 |
| [ka]killer | got it working | 01:42 |
| [ka]killer | now | 01:42 |
| [ka]killer | while xorg is working | 01:42 |
| crafty__ | when I connect power to the new DVD writer, my boot up doesn't get past the root file system | 01:42 |
| [ka]killer | sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf~ | 01:42 |
| [ka]killer | humm | 01:42 |
| [ka]killer | make sure its not trying to boot from it in bios | 01:43 |
| [ka]killer | thats what happoned with my usb dvd drive | 01:43 |
| crafty__ | hwo | 01:43 |
| crafty__ | how | 01:43 |
| [ka]killer | if i left it plugged in during boot it tried to boot from it | 01:43 |
| [ka]killer | f11 is generally bios settings is it not? | 01:43 |
| [ka]killer | or what ever it is -_- it says it on the bios loading screen | 01:43 |
| articpenguin3800 | if i use gnome will there be a degrade in performance | 01:43 |
| crafty__ | it's not safe to plug in power while the computer is powered up is it? | 01:44 |
| [ka]killer | gnome is verry good with performance on low end systems | 01:44 |
| [ka]killer | crafty__, i wouldnt reccomend that | 01:44 |
| crafty__ | thought not | 01:45 |
| [ka]killer | kde on the other hand is a little more resource heavy | 01:45 |
| crafty__ | how is this fixed? do I delete this drive then reinstall it? | 01:47 |
| stdin | [ka]killer: got stats to back that up? | 01:47 |
| [ka]killer | make sure in the bios that it is not trying to boot from it | 01:47 |
| [ka]killer | stdin: personal experiance | 01:47 |
| [ka]killer | gnome runs perfectly fine on my brothers crappy ass dell, and kde was slowing it down like f**k | 01:47 |
| crafty__ | <[ka]killer> talking to me? | 01:47 |
| [ka]killer | yes the first one anyway | 01:47 |
| stdin | [ka]killer: I've found kde to be lighter than gnome, even ran it fine on a P1 | 01:48 |
| [ka]killer | then it may just be my crappy ass brothers crappy ass dell | 01:48 |
| [ka]killer | the cpu is a bit f**ked up >.> | 01:48 |
| [ka]killer | long story involving a heat sink and thermal paste that was more like glue | 01:48 |
| T3 | hey | 01:51 |
| T3 | i'm looking for the package that contains 'spawn' command | 01:51 |
| NickPresta | hi, T3 | 01:51 |
| T3 | any idea? | 01:51 |
| NickPresta | spawn..would that be the inetd-like daemon? | 01:52 |
| T3 | spawn is the command that creates a fork | 01:53 |
| T3 | a fork of process | 01:53 |
| T3 | create a child process in a multitasking operating system | 01:53 |
| NickPresta | T3, hmm. Google isn't returning anything meaningful. Is it possible `spawn` is apart of a utilities package? | 01:58 |
| Odd-rationale | How do I get things to start up on start up in KDE? | 01:58 |
| mrbrdo | hello | 01:59 |
| T3 | NickPresta: I really don't know.. I've never used it before.. looking at google too, without success | 01:59 |
| mrbrdo | my Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) is not working, ifconfig -a doesn't show it | 01:59 |
| mrbrdo | using 7.10 with kde4 | 01:59 |
| NickPresta | Odd-rationale, easiest way is to add the application (or sym-link the application) to ~/.kde/Autostart | 01:59 |
| === Klowner_ is now known as Klowner | ||
| NickPresta | mrbrdo, if you think this is a KDE 4.0 issue, head to #kubuntu-kde4 | 01:59 |
| T3 | mrbrdo: lspci returns what? | 01:59 |
| mrbrdo | what i just said | 02:00 |
| mrbrdo | Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) | 02:00 |
| stdin | mrbrdo: you probably want to install knetworkmanager and use it | 02:00 |
| Odd-rationale | NickPresta: Can I put a custom script there, too? | 02:00 |
| mrbrdo | 10:00.0 Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) actually | 02:00 |
| mrbrdo | stdin i can't without internet! | 02:00 |
| mrbrdo | and don't you think i need drivers first, or something | 02:00 |
| NickPresta | Odd-rationale, yep. | 02:00 |
| stdin | mrbrdo: then you need a kde3 install | 02:00 |
| mrbrdo | why? | 02:00 |
| Odd-rationale | NickPresta: Thanks! | 02:00 |
| T3 | mrbrdo: knetworkmanager comes with kubuntu.. | 02:01 |
| stdin | mrbrdo: no, intel have free drivers, included. but unless you know the command line tools to configure the device, you need knetworkmanager (kde3) | 02:01 |
| T3 | you don't need to install.. | 02:01 |
| mrbrdo | actually that's not true :) | 02:01 |
| mrbrdo | The program 'knetworkmanager' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: ... | 02:01 |
| mrbrdo | and, IFCONFIG -A DOES NOT show anything but eth0 and lo0 | 02:02 |
| mrbrdo | it should even if i haven't configured anything yet | 02:02 |
| T3 | ifconfig ath0 up | 02:02 |
| mrbrdo | no such device | 02:02 |
| mrbrdo | same for eth1 | 02:02 |
| T3 | hmm | 02:02 |
| stdin | mrbrdo: for that device it is | 02:02 |
| mrbrdo | ifconfig -a shows all devices you know ;) | 02:02 |
| T3 | i guess you will need to check your kernel set up | 02:02 |
| stdin | mrbrdo: modinfo iwl3945: license: GPL | 02:02 |
| mrbrdo | i just did a clean install | 02:03 |
| mrbrdo | isn't it ipw3945 | 02:03 |
| T3 | i know this a kind of deep work, but.. | 02:03 |
| stdin | description: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux | 02:03 |
| mrbrdo | lol loading that module worked | 02:04 |
| mrbrdo | but that's kinda weird tho | 02:04 |
| mrbrdo | i had ipw3945 loaded | 02:04 |
| mrbrdo | and it didn't work.. isn't that weird? what's the difference between these two | 02:04 |
| stdin | mrbrdo: make sure to add that module to your /etc/modules then | 02:04 |
| mrbrdo | i've got wlan0 and wmaster0 that's correct right? | 02:04 |
| stdin | I don't know, I have an atheros | 02:04 |
| T3 | yeah.. me too | 02:05 |
| mrbrdo | i do too but it doesn't fit into my new notebook :P | 02:05 |
| T3 | mrbrdo: but all you need to do is set it up with your wireless configuration | 02:05 |
| mrbrdo | has some weird cardbus | 02:05 |
| mrbrdo | let's see if i can still work with iwconfig :P | 02:05 |
| mrbrdo | what's the format for inputting the key anyone knows? | 02:07 |
| mrbrdo | tried e54e5441 which is my key in hex but that didn't work :P | 02:07 |
| mrbrdo | nvm wrong key i think :D | 02:08 |
| MGalaxy | what can be the reason of this error at the beginning of a program "demuxer error: cannot peek" | 02:09 |
| mrbrdo | yay it worked | 02:09 |
| mrbrdo | thx for the help | 02:09 |
| mrbrdo | stdin how can i blacklist ipw3945 | 02:09 |
| stdin | !blacklist | 02:09 |
| ubotu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 02:09 |
| mrbrdo | ty | 02:09 |
| T3 | NickPresta: http://linux.die.net/man/8/spawn | 02:09 |
| T3 | this one | 02:09 |
| T3 | NickPresta: tip: it didn't came with postfix | 02:10 |
| T3 | already tested | 02:10 |
| mrbrdo | lol | 02:10 |
| mrbrdo | i don't even have nano installed | 02:10 |
| mrbrdo | wtf :P | 02:10 |
| stdin | T3: /usr/lib/postfix/spawn ? | 02:10 |
| T3 | yeah! thanx | 02:11 |
| mrbrdo | hm that's weird i don't have graphical boot either | 02:12 |
| mrbrdo | any idea what to apt-get for that? | 02:13 |
| T3 | mrbrdo: what do you mean by graphical boot? | 02:13 |
| T3 | do you have kde installed, man? | 02:13 |
| mrbrdo | like windows or something | 02:13 |
| mrbrdo | yes | 02:13 |
| mrbrdo | kde4 | 02:13 |
| mrbrdo | i mean that boot during the init stages | 02:13 |
| mrbrdo | right after grub | 02:13 |
| mrbrdo | before kdm | 02:14 |
| T3 | hm.. k | 02:14 |
| T3 | all text mode? | 02:14 |
| mrbrdo | yes until kdm | 02:14 |
| chris12349 | I'm looking for amarok 2, are there debs available? | 02:14 |
| stdin | chris12349: no, it's not even in the beta stages yet | 02:16 |
| stdin | mrbrdo: because the kde4 cd doesn't really install anything but kde4, try installing "ubuntu-minimal" and "ubuntu-standard" | 02:17 |
| mrbrdo | is that for kubuntu too? | 02:17 |
| chris12349 | stdin: :) oops! I though I saw screenshots thanks! | 02:17 |
| mrbrdo | i hope it won't install gnome | 02:17 |
| stdin | mrbrdo: -minimal and -standard install no GUI items | 02:18 |
| mrbrdo | ok cool i'll do that | 02:18 |
| mrbrdo | stdin btw thanks for that i was wondering where all the std apps had gone :) | 02:19 |
| Odd-rationale | Can I play last.fm in amarok? | 02:21 |
| lextul | yes | 02:21 |
| Odd-rationale | Or do you need to pay for that account? | 02:22 |
| boggystudios | One of my friends messed with the Knetworkmanager settings on my other laptop and it is stuck on manual now. How do I switch it back to automatic? | 02:27 |
| mrbrdo | yeah | 02:28 |
| mrbrdo | that's what i want to know too! | 02:28 |
| Odd-rationale | http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3088367.0 | 02:28 |
| mrbrdo | i've got it on manual too and it won't go to auto | 02:28 |
| Odd-rationale | There you go ^ | 02:28 |
| Crell | Hi all. In Gutsy, is there a way to get Konqueror back as the default file manager? I'm highly disenchanted with Dolphin. :-( | 02:30 |
| mrbrdo | ty lemme try | 02:30 |
| NexaMac | dolphin is teh suck :< | 02:30 |
| Odd-rationale | The fix didn't work for me, so I just deleted everything in /etc/network/interfaces and rebooted. That did the trick. ;) | 02:30 |
| mrbrdo | i'm getting these errors all the time when i run knetowrkmanager: DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket | 02:31 |
| mrbrdo | when it's starting and so | 02:31 |
| mot_ | oh shit | 02:32 |
| mot_ | why would "rm -rf *(2)*" remove *everything* from the desktop? | 02:32 |
| mrbrdo | i did that once too | 02:33 |
| mot_ | is there a way to get it back? | 02:33 |
| mot_ | i have an entire application package there | 02:33 |
| mot_ | ...i can't lose that | 02:33 |
| Crell | NexaMac: It wouldn't be so bad if it had actual tabs. Any idea how to get rid of it? | 02:33 |
| mrbrdo | don't think u can | 02:33 |
| mot_ | it's almost a hundred pages. | 02:33 |
| Dr_willis | bash does not do wildcards like dos.. it does regular expressions | 02:33 |
| mot_ | okay well | 02:33 |
| Dr_willis | echo *(2)* | 02:33 |
| Dr_willis | would show what would of been removed. | 02:34 |
| mot_ | it prints *(2)* | 02:34 |
| mixed | anyone ever had problems connecting to online games with QUAKE???? | 02:34 |
| mot_ | is there any way to get it back? | 02:34 |
| mrbrdo | hm KNotify4 keeps crashing now that i removed interfaces | 02:34 |
| mrbrdo | lol | 02:34 |
| Dr_willis | No it dosent print *(2)* here.. of course you have no files now for it to match | 02:34 |
| mot_ | is it possible to get them back? | 02:34 |
| Dr_willis | undeleteing from a rm.. Hmm what filesystem? | 02:35 |

| boggystudios | thanks Odd-rationale | 02:37 |
| Odd-rationale | boggystudios: How did you fix it? Did you just replace the /etc/network/interfaces file? | 02:37 |
| mrbrdo | i deleted that file | 02:38 |
| mrbrdo | and knotify4 keeps crashing now | 02:38 |
| mrbrdo | i'm just gonna reinstall :P | 02:38 |
| Odd-rationale | mrbrdo: Before you do that, try deleting every thing in /etc/network/ | 02:38 |
| mrbrdo | everything? | 02:38 |
| MGalaxy | when I run LDOCE 2005 @ kubuntu 7.10 I get this error message, http://phpfi.com/289836 ,any solution? | 02:38 |
| mrbrdo | i'll try, for you :) | 02:38 |
| boggystudios | Odd-rationale: I tried the interfaces file so now I am going to read the rest of the file ;) | 02:39 |
| Odd-rationale | mrbrdo: Yes everything. | 02:39 |
| Odd-rationale | but don't delete the folder itself | 02:39 |
| mrbrdo | yeah got it, let's see | 02:40 |
| === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh | ||
| mixed | thank you, Dr_Willis | 02:40 |
| mrbrdo | knotify still crashing | 02:40 |
| Odd-rationale | mrbrdo: OK you can reinstall now... | 02:41 |
| mrbrdo | :) | 02:42 |
| mrbrdo | i'm gonna have to do the same steps tho | 02:42 |
| mrbrdo | to connect i'll have to iwconfig | 02:42 |
| mrbrdo | and then install knetworkmanager | 02:42 |
| mrbrdo | but then it'll be on manual again :P | 02:42 |
| mrbrdo | i could try backuping the network dir maybe | 02:42 |
| bascule | mrbrdo: just make the iwconfig stuff into a small simple bash script | 02:43 |
| bascule | unless you really need roaming mode on | 02:43 |
| mrbrdo | would be fun for school | 02:44 |
| Odd-rationale | mrbrdo: Well have fun! See you later! | 02:44 |
| * bascule has iwconfig and i[tables in a script, sudo ./netup.sh | 02:44 | |
| mrbrdo | sounds fun :P | 02:45 |
| bascule | it's reall incredibly simple | 02:46 |
| mrbrdo | i know but i kinda want the knetworkmanager to work | 02:46 |
| mrbrdo | i hope this kde4 isn't still all broken i was looking forward to it | 02:46 |
| bascule | it's reasonably broken :) | 02:46 |
| mrbrdo | bah | 02:47 |
| mrbrdo | isn't it an official release | 02:47 |
| mrbrdo | ala stable | 02:47 |
| boggystudios | Odd-rationale: I fixed it by commenting everything except "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback" | 02:47 |
| bascule | yes, but with a view as a development platform | 02:47 |
| bascule | it works, mostly | 02:47 |
| mrbrdo | :) | 02:47 |
| mrbrdo | boggystudios he's gone ;) | 02:48 |
| Darktan_ | what is a good way to convert vidoe files under kubuntu? namely ripped dvd's to something else | 02:48 |
| boggystudios | mrbrdo: well that worked for me so try it and see if it works for you | 02:48 |
| boggystudios | later everybody | 02:49 |
| brian_ | How can I get a SimpleDrive mounted so I can write to it? It reports "/dev/sda1 on /media/sda1 type ntfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,iocharset=utf8)" with the mount command. | 02:49 |
| bascule | Darktan_: to avi, go for acidrip or k9copy | 02:49 |
| bascule | !info acidrip k9copy | 02:50 |
| ubotu | acidrip: ripping and encoding DVD tool using mplayer and mencoder. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.14-0.2ubuntu5 (gutsy), package size 63 kB, installed size 308 kB | 02:50 |
| Darktan_ | ok, that will work on already ripped DVDs? | 02:50 |
| bascule | no, what do you wanna do? | 02:50 |
| Darktan_ | well i already ripped the DVD and gave it back to my friend, i have the vob, ifo bup files on the hard drive, i want to convert them | 02:51 |
| Darktan_ | if i can;t do that, i can get the DVD's back | 02:51 |
| bascule | acidrip will do this, need to tell it where the vobs are though, k9 probably can too | 02:52 |
| Darktan_ | ok | 02:52 |
| Darktan_ | i'll try it | 02:52 |
| Darktan_ | i assume i need to get mplayer as well? | 02:52 |
| bascule | apt will pull in the deps, sudo aptitude install acidrip | 02:53 |
| Darktan_ | ok | 02:53 |
| Darktan_ | is aptitude any different than apt-get? | 02:54 |
| bascule | a little, same basic functions though | 02:54 |
| jhutchins | Darktan_: Supposedly handles the database better. | 02:54 |
| bascule | aptitude is more thorough at removal | 02:54 |
| jhutchins | Darktan_: You may also be interested in tovid. | 02:54 |
| Darktan_ | ok | 02:54 |
| Darktan_ | ! tovid | 02:54 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tovid - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:54 |
| Darktan_ | what is it? | 02:55 |
| jhutchins | Darktan_: It's a set of wrapper scripts with a GUI, designed for mastering DVD's and building nice menu screens. | 02:55 |
| Darktan_ | ahh | 02:55 |
| jhutchins | !find tovid | 02:55 |
| ubotu | Package/file tovid does not exist in gutsy | 02:55 |
| jhutchins | Darktan_: http://tovid.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page | 02:55 |
| jhutchins | Darktan_: It's just scripts really, so safe to install from tarball. | 02:56 |
| jhutchins | Darktan_: It's packaged for a lot of systems, surprized it's not in kubuntu. | 02:56 |
| Darktan_ | ok, thx, bookmarked it, i might use it | 02:56 |
| Darktan_ | i usually just plug my laptop in to the tv | 02:56 |
| jhutchins | That works too. | 02:57 |
| jhutchins | If you want to share, though... | 02:57 |
| jhutchins | Darktan_: btw for packages use !find or !info, !<word> is for keywords. | 02:58 |
| jhutchins | (some of which are also packages.) | 02:58 |
| Darktan_ | OK, thx | 02:59 |
| Darktan_ | well acidrip won't pull up the already ripped one, so i | 02:59 |
| Darktan_ | i'll just get the dvds again | 02:59 |

| tribaldata | Guys want you using to play divx in kubutu ?/ | 03:06 |
| martalli | is this caused by some utility i should get rid of, like sticky keys/ | 03:06 |
| martalli | ugh, i can't even type a question mark | 03:06 |
| martalli | this has happened before, and i can 'fix' it with restarting the xserver or a full reboot, so i think it is something with kde or maybe the xerver | 03:07 |
| Dr_willis | I play divx with all the video players. | 03:08 |
| Dr_willis | You may need the w32codeces installed. | 03:09 |
| martalli | it would be in the non-free-codecs from medibuntu | 03:10 |
| Dr_willis | There is some sort of 'disabled-accessiablity' feature that can affect those keys.. but ive never really messed with it., | 03:11 |
| Dr_willis | I though it enabled a systemtray icon also. | 03:11 |
| martalli | hmm | 03:13 |
| Dr_willis | the kind of thong that always activates in the middle of a hot gaming session! :) | 03:13 |
| martalli | Dr_willis: let me look around | 03:13 |
| martalli | i am wondering if it wasn't the google search doing thay | 03:17 |
| martalli | the ctrl-ctrl keyboard shortcut is probably the problem.... | 03:18 |
| mi_ | kde4 working better with compiz | 03:19 |
| mrbrdo | ok i'm having this problem with knetworkmanager | 03:27 |
| mrbrdo | when i try to manually configure | 03:27 |
| mrbrdo | i get (in terminal) | 03:27 |
| mrbrdo | kcmshell (kdelibs): WARNING: Could not find module 'kcm_knetworkconfmodule'. | 03:27 |
| mrbrdo | and nothing happens | 03:28 |
| mrbrdo | it doesn't open anything | 03:28 |
| biovore | configure manualy from the terminal... | 03:28 |
| biovore | sudo ifconfig eth0 <ip address> netmask <netmask> | 03:28 |
| mrbrdo | i wanna get it working | 03:28 |
| mrbrdo | the knetworkmanager | 03:28 |
| mrbrdo | i know how to conf from console | 03:28 |
| biovore | does it pop up a kdesu dialog for a password? | 03:30 |
| mrbrdo | well | 03:32 |
| mrbrdo | it does if i run it without sudo, yes :) | 03:32 |
| level1_ | Hi, by defualt, root prevents me from doing a lot of stuff relating to passwords, forcing me to change them at inconvient times and not letting me change passwords to other passwords that are "similar"... how do I configure these options? | 03:32 |
| mrbrdo | but then i get a few other errors thrown at me too | 03:32 |
| biovore | level1_: if your root.. it shouldn't be doing that.. | 03:32 |
| level1_ | biovore: well, I have sudo access... this is my own computer, only I use it | 03:33 |
| level1_ | biovore: I don't usually run as root | 03:33 |
| biovore | level1_: you changing user passwords from the command line? | 03:34 |
| level1_ | biovore: no, kde gui | 03:34 |
| biovore | no clue on the gui.. | 03:34 |
| biovore | kdesu sometimes does weirdness (not real root) | 03:35 |
| mrbrdo | i'm doing upgrade now i hope this fixes the network manager problems | 03:36 |
| level1_ | kde gui won't let me change my password from bXXXXX74 to bXXXXX[+ because they are too similar | 03:37 |
| biovore | I wouldn't hold my breath.. | 03:37 |
| level1_ | I'm changing them for good reason | 03:37 |
| mrbrdo | level1_ what about passwd? | 03:37 |
| biovore | biovore: yeah.. not sure about the gui polices.. | 03:37 |
| level1_ | mrbrdo: same error | 03:37 |
| mrbrdo | weird | 03:37 |
| biovore | should be able from the command line though.. | 03:38 |
| Agent_bob | biovore use root account to adjust passwords it's not restricted. | 03:38 |
| biovore | yes.. | 03:38 |
| acme64 | howdy | 03:38 |
| mrbrdo | ydwoh | 03:38 |
| acme64 | omghax | 03:38 |
| biovore | sudo passwd <username> | 03:38 |
| mrbrdo | lol | 03:38 |
| === kymoie_ is now known as kymoie | ||
| acme64 | so i downloaded this kde theme | 03:38 |
| acme64 | it came in a tar, and a ton of files and stuff | 03:38 |
| Agent_bob | no. sudo -i then passwd <name> | 03:38 |
| acme64 | readme says run ./configure, but that results in an error | 03:39 |
| biovore | yup that works to | 03:39 |
| acme64 | what do i need to do? | 03:39 |
| mrbrdo | u need to tell us which error | 03:39 |
| biovore | depends on the error | 03:39 |
| mrbrdo | i guess ur just missing some build tools :P | 03:39 |
| biovore | probably missing a lib and headers need to compile | 03:39 |
| acme64 | well, its checking for a bunch of stuff, some checks say yes some no | 03:39 |
| acme64 | then it stops at | 03:39 |
| acme64 | checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X libraries. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! | 03:39 |
| Agent_bob | biovore and it's safer. that leaves you in the root shell, just incase you do something "stupid" like locking the sudoers account. | 03:40 |
| mrbrdo | u need the xorg dev package then i think | 03:40 |
| mrbrdo | Agent_bob what's the difference with -i and -s | 03:40 |
| biovore | interative shell verse forked shell | 03:40 |
| biovore | enviroment settings | 03:40 |
| Agent_bob | or should i say. something that results in a less than planned for state. | 03:40 |
| acme64 | i searched xorg in adept, nothing came up | 03:41 |
| biovore | -i is technicaly safer | 03:41 |
| level1_ | biovore: is there a way to change the defaults so it won't be annoying? | 03:41 |
| biovore | possibly.. the policy settings I think are in /etc/pam.d/ | 03:41 |
| mrbrdo | acme64 it's Xorg or X11 or something | 03:41 |
| biovore | its a pam thing.. | 03:41 |
| mrbrdo | acme64 and it has to have -dev at the end | 03:41 |
| Agent_bob | mrbrdo sudo -i is vertually the eqlivant of su - | 03:41 |
| dropinbombs | need some help with ics please i want to share my wireless connection which is wlan0 with my eth0 thats connected to my xbox through a crossover cable | 03:41 |
| mrbrdo | Agent_bob aha and sudo -s is like su? | 03:42 |
| Agent_bob | yep | 03:42 |
| mrbrdo | cool didn't know that | 03:42 |
| biovore | dropinbombs: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/ | 03:42 |
| biovore | !firewall | 03:42 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 03:42 |
| dropinbombs | biovore i did that last time and it screwed up lol is there a gui i could use | 03:42 |
| biovore | Firestarter might work ok | 03:43 |
| biovore | you guarddog | 03:43 |
| dropinbombs | thanks :) | 03:43 |
| Agent_bob | both guarddog and firestarter are very limited in the options avalable. | 03:43 |
| biovore | yes.. | 03:43 |
| dropinbombs | aw omg lol wasnt for me hey biovore is there a gui i could use to set up my ics? | 03:44 |
| julkie | hey | 03:44 |
| julkie | how can i configure kde4 taskbar? | 03:44 |
| dropinbombs | im going to search in adept for ics see if anything comes up | 03:45 |
| dropinbombs | or couldnt i just configure the gateway of the eth0 to point to my wireless connection? | 03:45 |
| Agent_bob | you can. | 03:46 |
| dropinbombs | hmm that sounds like an idea | 03:46 |
| acme64 | checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.3 and < 4.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation! | 03:47 |
| acme64 | theres literally a hundred qt packages, which one do i get now? | 03:47 |
| SpookyET | hi | 03:47 |
| dropinbombs | so basically eth0 will be static ip 192.168.0.1 with gateway of 192.168.2.3 and my wireless ip is 192.168.2.3 and my gateway for that to the router is 192.168.2.1 sounds right? | 03:47 |
| Agent_bob | dropinbombs or you can bridge the two interfaces | 03:48 |
| SpookyET | How come openoffice ubuntu renders fonts horribly while openoffice from openofice.org renders them properly | 03:48 |
| dropinbombs | agent bomb how do i bridge them? like that right? | 03:48 |
| dropinbombs | so my router ip is 192.168.2.1 so the gateway for the wireless would be 192.168.2.1 then the eth0 gate way would be wireless ip? | 03:49 |
| Agent_bob | dropinbombs no i would call that linking the one to the other but that is uni-dirrectional. a bridge is bi-dirrectional. and thus by default less secure. you probably want what you mentioned. i was just pointing out "bridge-utils" and making both interfaces appear to the system as one interface. | 03:51 |
| dropinbombs | aww | 03:52 |
| Agent_bob | i wouldn't reccomend bridging a lan with an internet interface. | 03:52 |
| === _czessi is now known as Czessi | ||
| dropinbombs | so the way that i said is pretty good? | 03:52 |
| Agent_bob | yes | 03:52 |

| mrbrdo2 | hi | 03:52 |
| mrbrdo2 | again | 03:52 |
| mrbrdo2 | :) | 03:53 |
| dropinbombs | all i have to do is set the network settings up | 03:53 |
| dropinbombs | thanks so much | 03:53 |
| Agent_bob | route add default gw 192.168.2.3 | 03:53 |
| Agent_bob | badabing | 03:53 |
| dropinbombs | :) | 03:53 |
| dropinbombs | im in routes selected eth0 and changed the ip to 192.168.2.3 | 03:53 |
| dropinbombs | that didnt work :( | 03:54 |
| mrbrdo2 | i'm getting this output when running knetworkmanager and it's driving me crazy | 03:54 |
| mrbrdo2 | http://www.pastebin.ca/855635 | 03:54 |
| mrbrdo2 | and when i try to manually configure i get this | 03:54 |
| mrbrdo2 | kcmshell (kdelibs): WARNING: Could not find module 'kcm_knetworkconfmodule'. | 03:54 |
| mrbrdo2 | and then nothing opens | 03:54 |
| mrbrdo2 | this is right after kwallet prompt | 03:55 |
| mrbrdo2 | and google doesn't know anything about this | 03:55 |
| dropinbombs | sweet | 03:55 |

| dropinbombs | that didnt work | 04:01 |
| biovore | acme64: firewall? | 04:01 |
| dropinbombs | lol was worth a try | 04:01 |
| acme64 | ? | 04:01 |
| biovore | sorry.. I mean mrbrdo_ | 04:01 |
| mrbrdo_ | well | 04:01 |
| mrbrdo_ | my LAN is firewalled to the outside | 04:01 |
| acme64 | hmm this make command spewed a ton of errors or sometihng... | 04:02 |
| dropinbombs | i tried to place my eth0 gateway to 192.168.2.3 but when i try to connect to the xbox ip 192.168.0.2 it doesnt work | 04:02 |
| mrbrdo_ | but as far as this particular box is concerned i don't know.. if it's firewalled by default then yes.. else no | 04:02 |
| mrbrdo_ | Agent_bob: http://www.pastebin.ca/855643 | 04:02 |

| neosaki | Is there anyway I can get a copy of the Kubuntu install CD with 2.6.23.1? | 04:04 |
| biovore | acme64: I seen that before.. I headers for that in some weird kde development header package somewhere.. | 04:04 |
| acme64 | meaning? | 04:04 |
| biovore | acme64: Don't remember what one unfortionaly.. | 04:04 |
| biovore | acme64: your missing a dependency | 04:04 |
| acme64 | im still missing someting? | 04:04 |
| acme64 | ic | 04:04 |
| acme64 | how do i find out | 04:05 |
| biovore | acme64: your missing kcommondecoration.h | 04:05 |

| mrbrdo__ | ah | 04:08 |
| biovore | acme64: I built it once here.. I spent 30 mins looking for the right package that has those headers in it.. | 04:08 |
| acme64 | lol | 04:08 |
| mrbrdo__ | maybe it's because kwallet didn't pop up this time tho, (remembered from before probably) | 04:08 |
| dropinbombs | Agent_bob i got bridge utils but i dont know how this works | 04:08 |
| biovore | acme64: it's a kde development package.. | 04:08 |
| mrbrdo__ | hm this is getting weird.. if i go to system settings - date & time, everything is greyed out but there is no button to let me 'play root' to change anything | 04:08 |

| dropinbombs | aww thank you | 04:09 |
| biovore | dropinbombs: not totaly what you want.. but it shows how to setup a br interface (bridged) | 04:09 |
| biovore | debian and ubuntu are very simular.. should work.. | 04:10 |
| Agent_bob | ubuntu is/was based on debian | 04:10 |
| crimsun | still is. | 04:10 |
| biovore | Agent_bob: it true.. just dont say it in the debian channel :-P | 04:10 |
| Agent_bob | crimsun someone corrected me on that. said that more packages were going the other way these days. | 04:11 |
| dropinbombs | aww | 04:11 |
| rileynowokowski | I need some help with Adept Manager, it's giving me some problems, if anyone can PM, that'd be great! | 04:11 |
| ardchoille | rileynowokowski: It would be great if you could keep it in the channel. That way others can learn things. I can't begin to tell you all of the great info I have learned just being here. | 04:13 |
| dropinbombs | so now im confused i dont know what im trying to do well i do but i dont know how to get there. I have my computer with 2 internet cards on them one is eth0 it connects to my Xbox through a crossover cable Then i have a wireless card also that connects to the net. Now my Xbox is modded so i can stream music off the internet but i need a way to get there. | 04:13 |
| Hirvinen_ | !ask | rileynowokowski | 04:13 |
| ubotu | rileynowokowski: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 04:13 |
| * Agent_bob seconds ardchoille | 04:13 | |
| mrbrdo_ | eh keeps knocking me out | 04:14 |
| mrbrdo_ | can i remove the network-manager package | 04:14 |
| mrbrdo_ | or is it important | 04:14 |
| mrbrdo_ | since i won't be using network-manager-kde aka knetworkmanager | 04:14 |
| dropinbombs | so i use a crossover cable from the xbox to my computer now i need eth0 to share or use the wlan0 internet, and the eth0 card also has to be able to ftp stuff back to the xbox | 04:14 |
| Hirvinen_ | mrbrdo_: Just turn it off. | 04:14 |
| mrbrdo_ | Hirvinen_: how do i do that? | 04:15 |
| rileynowokowski | okay, I went to install KDE 4.0, by following the instructions on the Kubuntu website, and i did it all through third party repositories, it started to load, and everything went well, then it crashed about 60% of the way in, and now whenever i go to open Adept Manager i get this error "Another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get aptitude). Would you like to | 04:16 |
| rileynowokowski | attempt to resolve this problem? No will enter read-only mode and Cancel to quit and resolve this issue yourself" so I click "Yes" and it just takes me to the KDE Crash Handler | 04:16 |
| Hirvinen_ | mrbrdo_: rclick icon in the panel -> options -> configure -> general settings -> uncheck "Start..." and then close it. | 04:16 |
| Agent_bob | dropinbombs i would still sujest making a 'nat' from the eth iface and pointing the xbox to the box with two faces as the default gw be sure to turn on ipv4_forwarding on the gw and set the other to the same dns | 04:16 |
| rileynowokowski | I am a complete noob on linux, too, thought i should add that in. | 04:17 |
| acme64 | damn, so no idea what package i need :( | 04:17 |
| dropinbombs | aww okay im not lost now :) | 04:17 |
| mrbrdo_ | Hirvinen_: that's for network-manager-kde | 04:17 |
| mrbrdo_ | i was asking for network-manager | 04:17 |
| mrbrdo_ | that's not the gui | 04:17 |
| ardchoille | rileynowokowski: Support for kde4 is in #kubuntu-kde4 | 04:18 |
| Agent_bob | the inet--gw--lan setup is pretty simple and well documented. even as network illiterate as i am, i setup my first nat without "much" help. secret is in the route command and the iptables nat table | 04:19 |
| Agent_bob | there are scripts that can make it realy easy. only trouble i had was getting a second nat to be bi-dirrectional that i finally ended up bridging. | 04:20 |
| Hirvinen_ | mrbrdo_: Is NetworkManager started at boot? | 04:24 |
| acme64 | sweet found d eb file for the domino install | 04:24 |
| Hirvinen_ | mrbrdo_: I think(but am not sure) it's started by its KDE/Gnome/whatever applet. | 04:25 |
| acme64 | how do i instlal those again, dpkg name? | 04:25 |
| Hirvinen_ | mrbrdo_: In which case what I described, would be sufficient. | 04:25 |
| Agent_bob | -i | 04:25 |
| acme64 | hmm aptget gave me an error | 04:29 |
| acme64 | listed 2 dependencies i need but wont install for some reason | 04:29 |
| Agent_bob | dpkg does not pull in deps use apt for that | 04:30 |
| acme64 | goh i know | 04:32 |
| acme64 | it said what i was missing | 04:32 |
| acme64 | so i apt get kde core | 04:32 |
| acme64 | but it wont install kdebase, or kdelibs | 04:32 |
| Agent_bob | bersion conflict | 04:33 |
| Agent_bob | version even | 04:33 |
| Agent_bob | maybe kdebase-bin | 04:34 |
| acme64 | get that? | 04:35 |
| robert_ | yay | 04:35 |
| Agent_bob | idk it's your dependancy issue not mine. i try to stick with packages in the repos i figure if 20,000 packages are not enough i should just turn the power off and walk away. | 04:36 |
| Agent_bob | some of the things in multiverse are remarkable. and i don't know anyone that has tried them all..... | 04:37 |
| acme64 | lol | 04:38 |
| acme64 | adept found it | 04:39 |
| acme64 | and installed it | 04:39 |

| Agent_bob | :) | 04:39 |
| acme64 | no worries | 04:39 |
| acme64 | if this was a main os id be more concerned | 04:40 |
| acme64 | but me being a noob im just tryin to learn and mess around | 04:40 |
| acme64 | someone yesterday told me never to "alien" a rpm package | 04:40 |
| acme64 | so i did anyway lol | 04:40 |
| Agent_bob | good, you learn a lot by the "try it and reformat" methood. i know i did. | 04:40 |
| acme64 | its the windows way lol | 04:40 |

| acme64 | well i was thinkin somethin like an iso of the drive | 04:45 |
| acme64 | then expand it back on if i break something | 04:46 |
| acme64 | a compressed image | 04:46 |
| Agent_bob | tarball maybe | 04:46 |
| Agent_bob | that would exclude the blank space of the drive while preserving the perms and ownership. | 04:47 |
| Agent_bob | tar was after all writen for that purpose | 04:47 |
| acme64 | cool | 04:48 |
| Agent_bob | echo -e '#!/bin/sh \n\n[ -d "$2" ] && [ -d "$1" ] && tar -cf - "$1" | tar -xf - -C "$2" || echo error!' > tarcopy.sh && chmod 755 tarcopy.sh | 04:52 |
| MGalaxy | I have a problem with AWLAscii.ttf font ( includes in LDOCE 2005 ) It is not shown properly, any solution? | 04:54 |
| neosaki | So, if I decide to recompile the kernel for SMP as well as 64-bit, where should I start? | 04:55 |
| till_ | hi. i'm surfing the web at proxy behind a proxy server (http) but it seems not to work in the newest konqueror-kde4... is there any solution? | 04:55 |
| Agent_bob | i thought smp was built in to the default kernels neosaki | 04:55 |
| neosaki | but 64-bit isn't | 04:56 |
| neosaki | Perhaps I should have clarified that better >.> | 04:56 |
| === lyn is now known as OpheLia | ||
| Agent_bob | neosaki you can't just change the kernel for 64bit, you have to install the 64bit system and then yes 64bit is built in. | 04:57 |
| neosaki | Does Kubuntu have IA64 support? | 04:58 |
| neosaki | !IA64 | 04:58 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ia64 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:58 |
| neosaki | Nevermind, found the ISO | 04:58 |
| Sajes | Is there an option in xorg.conf where you can enable truetype? | 05:12 |
| rahmat | how do you think of KDE4? | 05:14 |
| ardchoille | rahmat: kde4 isn't finished. One should reserve judgement until one has all the evidence :) | 05:14 |
| hydrogen | I stilll think its better than sliced bread | 05:15 |
| indystorm_ | hey how can I get kde4 on kubuntu? | 05:15 |
| ardchoille | indystorm_: support for kde4 is in #kubuntu-kde4 | 05:15 |
| hydrogen | !kde4 | indystorm_ | 05:15 |

| acme64 | ok uh...i broke somethin | 05:19 |
| acme64 | wassup ForgeAus | 05:19 |
| ForgeAus | acme, shouldn't you go to the hospital :) lol | 05:19 |
| acme64 | they dont support my distro :( | 05:19 |
| ForgeAus | they? | 05:19 |
| acme64 | hospitol | 05:19 |
| ForgeAus | oh | 05:19 |
| acme64 | ok so i cant move any windows around | 05:20 |
| ForgeAus | well generally they put broken things in plastercasts and stuff | 05:20 |
| acme64 | the minimize and maximize and all that jazz is gone | 05:20 |
| ForgeAus | did you install compiz/beryl or something like that? | 05:20 |
| acme64 | well i was messing with the themes | 05:20 |
| acme64 | i got domino and dekorator | 05:20 |
| ForgeAus | hmmm | 05:21 |
| ForgeAus | I don't know much about domino and dekorator | 05:21 |
| acme64 | if i hit alt and space i get the menu to move windows around | 05:21 |
| acme64 | and that works | 05:21 |
| addyk | Is kde4 out? | 05:21 |
| addyk | I saw some packages with kde4 at the end | 05:21 |
| hydrogen | topic.. | 05:22 |
| acme64 | arg this is lame | 05:22 |
| acme64 | why is that even a seperate application | 05:24 |
| MGalaxy | I installed kubuntu 7.10 from dvd, after that , in the middle of upgrade process some error occurred and the process failed, but now adept manager doesn't show any upgradable packages, what should I do? | 05:24 |
| acme64 | whatever handles the windows should do that | 05:24 |
| addyk | Oh yeah :D Silly me... | 05:24 |
| addyk | thanks hydrogen | 05:24 |
| acme64 | MGalaxy: same thing happened to me | 05:24 |
| addyk | Um... a simple command to install all? sudo apt-get install kde4 ? | 05:24 |
| hydrogen | acme64: run kwin | 05:24 |
| kadam | Is there a way to get persistent tabs in Kate or KDevelop? As in, when you press 'enter' to go to the next line, it's automatically indented the same as the line you were on? | 05:26 |
| hydrogen | yes | 05:26 |
| acme64 | QPainter::begin: Cannot paint null pixmap | 05:26 |
| acme64 | QPainter::end: Missing begin() or begin() failed | 05:26 |

| hydrogen | kadam: yea | 05:27 |
| hydrogen | its in settings | 05:27 |
| vers | hey, i have a problem....i go to school online and alot of my teachers require microsoft word documents and pictures to be transfered...is there anyhing i can do? | 05:27 |
| hydrogen | you can use openoffice | 05:27 |
| hydrogen | it supports .doc | 05:27 |
| hydrogen | or you can stab the school | 05:28 |
| hydrogen | and tell them to support open formats | 05:28 |
| vers | lol | 05:28 |
| hydrogen | like they should | 05:28 |
| kadam | hydrogen: I'm sorry, in Kate or KDevelop? Do you know the official name of it? Methinks I missed it... | 05:28 |
| hydrogen | kadam: kate has it, kdevelop embeds kate for the editing | 05:28 |
| kadam | hydrogen: I agree!!! In addition, work done by students FOR school should all be made open... In all sectors 8) | 05:28 |
| kadam | hydrogen: Oh I did not know that... | 05:29 |
| vers | how about transfering pics? | 05:29 |
| hydrogen | kadam: settings->configure kate->indentation | 05:29 |
| hydrogen | vers: what do they want you to use on windows? | 05:29 |
| vers | word | 05:29 |
| hydrogen | you can put pictures in openoffice documents | 05:29 |
| vers | and when i try and paste a pic it doesnt work | 05:29 |
| hydrogen | its a full featured word processor | 05:29 |
| vers | ohhh ok | 05:30 |
| vers | sorry ...im a newbie at this | 05:30 |
| vers | but i like it | 05:30 |
| hydrogen | no worries! | 05:30 |
| vers | alot better than microsoft | 05:30 |
| hydrogen | openoffice is not the greatest program | 05:30 |
| hydrogen | but it gets the job done | 05:30 |
| vers | thats what i like....simplicity | 05:30 |
| kadam | vers: Make sure you save it as a .doc filetype though; or the relavent M$ extension... it sucks to get to school and realize you can't open the document there becaue it's in .odf format... Unless that's a non-concern; I might just be imagining that memory :) | 05:34 |
| vers | lol..thanks...i just took a look and figured it out.... | 05:37 |
| ForgeAus | kadam I wonder why oo.o havn't made an addon filter for office users to open .odfs in mso ... | 05:40 |
| ForgeAus | or .odt's or whatever the extension is for the file in whatever office app is appropriate for it | 05:40 |
| ForgeAus | the converter pack is extensible isn't it? | 05:41 |

| jungletech | anyone know why? | 05:47 |
| kadam | ForgeAus: I'm not sure... I think MS should support it by default... Just a sign of their poor sportsmanship 8) | 05:48 |
| jungletech | I think it might have something to do with the restricted bit, but not sure why | 05:51 |
| arrrghhh | so my sound isn't working on my laptop... i guess i never really tested it until now, but i get absolutely nothing from it. i've never had to do anything special on any of the other machines i've installed kubuntu on for sound... | 05:54 |

| CppIsWeird | how do i get kde to not group tasks in the task bar? i've hunted for it and so far i cant find it | 06:08 |
| arrrghhh | CppIsWeird: right click on the taskbar, go to configure panel | 06:09 |
| fizzz | i typed that but it didnt do anything | 06:09 |
| arrrghhh | select taskbar, find "group similar tasks" | 06:09 |
| arrrghhh | sounds like you want 'never' | 06:09 |
| CppIsWeird | ahh | 06:10 |
| arrrghhh | fizzz: do you get an error? | 06:10 |
| CppIsWeird | duh, dont know how i missed that | 06:10 |
| CppIsWeird | thanks | 06:10 |
| arrrghhh | yea it happens | 06:10 |
| arrrghhh | i have that problem, sometimes you just need a little help | 06:11 |

| fizzz | k sorry | 06:12 |
| fizzz | but i need to turn off my x server | 06:13 |
| arrrghhh | man pages are great when people read them... but sometimes they are cryptic and don't really help. that's usually not the norm, but sometimes. like the manual for virtualbox? sheesh. | 06:13 |
| arrrghhh | you need to turn off your x server | 06:13 |
| MephistOdyssey | are apt-get really functional? | 06:13 |
| arrrghhh | you want to stop your x server? | 06:13 |
| Agent_bob | fizzz i probably misunderstood your question. for how long do you want the xserver turned off ? | 06:13 |
| arrrghhh | MephistOdyssey: apt-get is extremely functional... | 06:14 |
| fizzz | just so i can install my video card driver | 06:14 |
| arrrghhh | fizzz: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop | 06:14 |
| Agent_bob | sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop | 06:14 |
| arrrghhh | assuming you're not running gdm as well | 06:14 |
| MephistOdyssey | sorry, apt-build | 06:14 |
| arrrghhh | MephistOdyssey: i think so, but i'm not sure. | 06:14 |
| Agent_bob | or actually sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop | 06:14 |
| arrrghhh | well that would take care of any other dm's lol | 06:14 |
| Agent_bob | i may start kde but not from kdm so why assume that others do | 06:15 |
| arrrghhh | certainly | 06:15 |
| arrrghhh | so no one has a single freakin suggestion for my sound | 06:15 |

| arrrghhh | and 1.4 isn't that old... | 06:16 |
| arrrghhh | i guess it depends if you're developing or not | 06:16 |
| Agent_bob | maybe same reason i am arrrghhh | 06:16 |
| arrrghhh | why's that? | 06:16 |
| arrrghhh | cuz it's LTS? | 06:17 |
| Agent_bob | LTS and dialup connection. | 06:17 |
| arrrghhh | your dialup doesn't work in anything newer? | 06:17 |

| arrrghhh | i see | 06:17 |
| arrrghhh | i forget people still use dialup :P | 06:17 |

| CppIsWeird | yeah | 06:22 |
| fizzz | can yall type that command again i typed it but the screen went black and no propt came up | 06:22 |
| arrrghhh | CppIsWeird: if you want to change that, you'll have to do some work on the window decorations... i'm not sure where that setting is, you're gonna have to do some pokin around | 06:22 |

| arrrghhh | fizzz: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` | 06:30 |
| arrrghhh | i think | 06:30 |
| arrrghhh | and you'll probalby need build-essentials | 06:30 |
| arrrghhh | sounds like nvidia drivers | 06:30 |
| x_zeuss | has anyone installed kubuntu with kde 4? | 06:30 |
| fizzz | nvidia | 06:30 |
| Agent_bob | x_zeuss several people | 06:30 |
| x_zeuss | can it succesfully replace a 3.5 kde desktop? | 06:30 |
| arrrghhh | x_zeuss: i'd say no based on my testing | 06:30 |
| Agent_bob | depends on the definition of "success" | 06:30 |
| arrrghhh | i mean it looks really good | 06:31 |
| x_zeuss | arrrghhh: what made u say no? what didn't work that good? | 06:31 |
| arrrghhh | but it's not nearly as mature as 3.5.8 | 06:31 |
| arrrghhh | well | 06:31 |
| arrrghhh | a lot of the configuration options were not present | 06:31 |
| x_zeuss | in what way mature? | 06:31 |
| arrrghhh | plasma's not really ready | 06:31 |
| arrrghhh | neither is phonon | 06:31 |
| arrrghhh | don't get me wrong, it was pretty | 06:31 |
| arrrghhh | but i felt like i couldn't do anything with it | 06:31 |
| x_zeuss | so u wouldn't recomand it for a day to day use | 06:32 |
| arrrghhh | nope | 06:32 |
| Agent_bob | arrrghhh did you check the bug reports to see if hda and your version of everything has known issues, cause i have seen several mention an hda bug. | 06:32 |
| arrrghhh | hrm | 06:32 |
| arrrghhh | i haven't... | 06:32 |
| arrrghhh | i don't really know what kinda card it is | 06:32 |
| arrrghhh | realtek | 06:32 |
| arrrghhh | intel | 06:32 |
| arrrghhh | hda | 06:32 |
| Agent_bob | that of course would/should be kernel specific, seeing that alsa is a kernel thang | 06:32 |
| arrrghhh | ja | 06:32 |
| arrrghhh | crap i guess no sound for now... | 06:33 |
| arrrghhh | every other machine i have it was flawless, no need to even fiddle with it | 06:33 |
| arrrghhh | i'm spoiled by the simplicity of ubuntu lol | 06:33 |
| Agent_bob | arrrghhh if you can get the guys in #alsa on it they can probably fix you in about five or less | 06:34 |
| arrrghhh | lol | 06:34 |
| arrrghhh | i'll keep that in mind when i'm back home | 06:34 |
| arrrghhh | i'm in a hotel right now, and looking at the time and the flight i need to catch tomorrow, i need to go to bed... thanks tho | 06:34 |

| erik__ | Hello :) I'm using Kubuntu with KDE 4. I have no major issues, but although KDE fonts (K-menu etc) are easy to read, all applications have very small fonts (looks like they are around 7-8, although I set all fonts in my settings to 10 and larger). Anyone able to help me with this?) | 06:36 |
| Agent_bob | xorg-dev maybe ? | 06:38 |
| Agent_bob | erik__ tiny unreadable fonts have long been a gripe of mine. but, in dapper the kcontrol look and feel fonts section does affect the fonts perfectly not that that can be applied distro-wide what version are you using ? | 06:41 |
| Agent_bob | gutsy and kde4 ? | 06:41 |
| Agent_bob | oh too late. | 06:41 |

| erik__ | In answer to my earlier question in this room regarding small fonts in KDE 4, it has been solved: go to settings -> fonts, and force the DPI to 96, restart KDE and all is good :) | 06:59 |

| mike-kubuntu | i've done some googling on the issue and forum searches and found some people getting hte same problem but no solution, i've notice although i have removed the old kde packages the way it said and then done an apt-get autoremove, there are still some previouse packages on the system which are getting in the way of the upgrade, any idea what other packages could be messing with it? | 07:26 |

| skurakai | hi. is normal that amarok in kubuntu doesn't know diacritic? and other non latin characters :-) | 07:32 |
| xptical | has anyone tried to run kubuntu with an encrypted /home/ filesystem? | 07:33 |
| skurakai | and second problem - czech translate in kubuntu, linuxmint kde ... doesn't work correctly. Is it problem in czech language pack or in my HW. | 07:33 |
| xptical | join /ubuntu | 07:36 |
| xptical | oops | 07:36 |
| xptical | :P | 07:36 |
| mike-kubuntu | no one about the wierd kde4-core depends on kdebase-workspace >= 4:4.0.0? i've followed the guide | 07:41 |
| Daisuke_Ido | try updating/upgrading again after doing the dist-upgrade | 07:45 |
| xptical | so, I'm guessing encrypted filesystems are getting crickets... | 07:45 |
| mike-kubuntu | DAisuke_Ido: still no luck, made sure i had no other lines in my sources.list and removed the packages mentioned int he guide and did an autoremove and the dependency issues still there | 07:49 |
| PolitikerNEU | Is it possible that even though I have 7.10 gutsy, adept_updater offers me to upgrade to 7.10 - and if I want to install the upgrade, I get error messages (I use kubuntu 7.10, 64 bit) | 08:01 |
| appelza | how do I add a second ip using ifconfig? | 08:03 |

| appelza | not using debian based on this device im working with, but the answer is ifconfig eth0:1 <ip> | 08:04 |
| Lynoure | appelza: yes, it is. :) | 08:06 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kbluelock - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:12 |
| nuxil | hmm | 08:14 |
| ActionParsnip | hey all | 08:26 |
| nuxil | hi | 08:28 |
| sebastian^ | good morning folks | 08:28 |
| sammy | so I'm using kde, I have an ldap server with address books set up for everyone individually. I know how to set up ldap access through kde resources, but doesn't that setup the resource for all the users? how do I set up the ldap contact list for each user individually? | 08:29 |
| sammy | (I know, not exactly a kubuntu question) | 08:29 |
| nuxil | donno.. never tried it | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | sammy, another dude was messing with ldap a few days ago | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | sammy, surely the ldap gives a central control for addressbooks etc. why do you want one setting up for individual users? | 08:32 |
| nuxil | arrg.. i'll go script my own kbluelock.. since the one with kbluetooth dosent work for me ;/ | 08:32 |
| Lynoure | sammy: Which method of "through kde resources" you meant? Anything you can set without sudo is affecting that user only | 08:33 |
| sammy | Lynoure: oh! well that's that then. setting up an ldap contact resource in the system settings is per user? | 08:33 |
| Lynoure | sammy: the setting you set as a user, without sudo, are the ones under ~/.kde, so yes :) | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | sammy: its cool, Lynoure just made it clear | 08:34 |
| sammy | ActionParsnip: ldap allows me to have one big address book for all my users, but everyone has their own address book for private use, which is also available from a web interface. | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | sammy, ok cool :) | 08:36 |
| Lynoure | It was nice to see an ldap question that was solidly in the pro bono range of things :) | 08:37 |
| sammy | Lynoure: how so? | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | sammy, couldnt they just add them in the email client in their local profile? | 08:38 |
| sammy | ActionParsnip: this way my addressbook transcends clients and storage options etc. anything that supports ldap addressbooks supports my addressbook, no upgrading, no migrating, no importing/exporting | 08:39 |
| sammy | maybe I don't understand the question | 08:39 |
| Lynoure | sammy: usually the ldap questions are quite large :) | 08:40 |
| sammy | Lynoure: the best way to learn is to teach yourself. I just come in here when I'm feeling lazy ;) | 08:43 |
| sammy | and ldap is a beast | 08:44 |
| jet_ | how many people using kde4 here? | 08:45 |
| Lynoure | jet_: Unless you are compiling stats, try #kubuntu-kde4 | 08:46 |
| jet_ | ah will do thanks | 08:46 |
| jet_ | sorry should've read the channel topics... | 08:47 |
| Lynoure | jet_: it happens :) and some people try to compile stats, though that happens rarely :) | 08:47 |

| jgadmin | morning | 11:19 |
| mellh | hi@all | 11:20 |
| jussi01 | jgadmin: morning! can we help? | 11:20 |
| jgadmin | Yea got a quick qestion | 11:20 |
| mellh | i test the irc the first time | 11:20 |
| jgadmin | Anybody else having install problems with Kubuntu 7.10? Specifically the system update once Kbuntu is fresh installed. | 11:21 |
| jussi01 | jgadmin: what specifically about it? | 11:21 |
| jgadmin | Got a zillion errors, when the updates were applying, left the system hosed. | 11:21 |
| mellh | i use kubuntu 7.10 with kde4 without any bigger problems | 11:22 |
| jgadmin | Only way I could get it to work was to install Ubuntu, get allo the freaking updates, reboot, then install KDE. | 11:22 |
| mellh | @jgadmin do you use adept_manager or aptitude? | 11:23 |
| jgadmin | Mind you I've been at this for 34 hours now.... I lost track of the re-installs.... LOL | 11:23 |
| jgadmin | Aptitude on the shell | 11:23 |
| mellh | k | 11:24 |
| jussi01 | jgadmin: I need some more info on the problems... | 11:24 |
| mellh | can you paste the log of aptitude somewere? | 11:24 |
| jgadmin | Basically if you do a fresh install of Kubuntu 7.10, and then get the updates, the system crashes, because of all the errors in the updates. | 11:24 |
| jgadmin | No on the log.... That was the previous install LOL | 11:25 |
| mellh | but i use a fresh installed kubuntu 7.10 with all updates and kde4 without ANY big probs | 11:25 |
| jussi01 | jgadmin: tell us exactly what you did, ie. using adept, or ? | 11:25 |
| mellh | i used "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade" | 11:26 |
| jgadmin | Well.... Did a fresh install of Kbuntu, then got the "Restricted Drivers", and then all of the updates for Kbuntu | 11:26 |
| jussi01 | jgadmin: cool. did you use adept to get the updates? did you enable any repositories? | 11:27 |
| jgadmin | When it was unpacking the updates and installing them, there were over 3000 errors in scripts. | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | lo all | 11:27 |
| mellh | maybe a packet was broken, which should do the unpacking task | 11:28 |
| jgadmin | Enabled the Resposotories, and used the application on the desktop (by the clock) to get the updates. | 11:28 |
| jussi01 | jgadmin: ok. when in that app, did you get the list of updates? or just update? | 11:29 |
| mellh | you mean adept_updater? | 11:29 |
| jussi01 | jgadmin: and did you enable any 3rd part repos? | 11:29 |
| jgadmin | Anyway..... Can someone tell me how to uninstall Gnome from this (Ubuntu install, with KDE added)? | 11:29 |
| jussi01 | !purekde | jgadmin | 11:29 |
| ubotu | jgadmin: purekde is If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | jgadmin, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/gnome | 11:30 |
| jgadmin | thx got the URLs | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | jgadmin, i misread your request. my link is to install gnome | 11:31 |
| jgadmin | So just a rehash..... Ubuntu Fresh Install, Got the Restriced Drivers, Updated Ubuntu, Rebooted, then Installed KDE, which I'm in now. | 11:31 |
| mellh | how can i get rid of kde3.58 when i use kde4 on kubuntu 7.10? | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | jgadmin, ignore mine :) | 11:31 |
| jgadmin | k | 11:31 |
| jgadmin | How do I tell which version of KDE is installed? | 11:32 |
| nibbe | The application unknow (nspluginviewer) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV). This happens when I go to any site with Flash. How do I fix it? | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | jgadmin, in konqueror -> help -> about kde | 11:33 |
| jgadmin | k thx | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | mellh, http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=665153 | 11:33 |
| mellh | @Action: but if he uses kde4.0 and kde3.5x there are different konquerors with different kde-versions. (but i thiks he only uses kde 3.58) | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | mellh, thats how id get it. Let me google some more | 11:34 |
| jgadmin | KDE 3.5.8 here..... How do I updated to KDE 4? | 11:35 |
| mellh | i think it isnt usefull to do that at this moment unless for testing | 11:36 |
| nuxil | so i made my own kbluelock in bash. it works for single phone. http://pastebin.ca/855903 since the one in kbluetooth doesnt work. "at least not with me", however. is there other tools that is faster than hcitool scan ? it seems like it needs "10 sec ++" to scan again after a scan.. erm. | 11:36 |
| jgadmin | ok | 11:36 |
| nibbe | The application unknow (nspluginviewer) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV). This happens when I go to any site with Flash. How do I fix it? | 11:36 |
| mellh | kde4.0 is more or less stable, but you will miss alll the functions, which made kde better than gnome | 11:37 |
| jgadmin | Thanks again...... You all RoCk!!!! later | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | mellh, but kde4 uses less resources :) | 11:37 |
| mellh | yes, but if you have to use kde3 apps, (adept) these resources are empty | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | mellh, i use mainly command line personally (apt) but you have a good point | 11:39 |
| SSJ_GZ | http://software-libre.rudd-o.com/KDE_4.0.0_emergency_FAQ#Is_KDE4_Faster_or_Slower_than_KDE3.3F | 11:39 |
| mellh | thx ssj | 11:40 |
| SSJ_GZ | np :) | 11:40 |
| mellh | any system relevant thinks are done via command line. when adept has any broken package he jusr gives useless errors with OK button | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mellh, i've never used it cos I like CLI | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mellh, sudo apt-get isnt hard but noobs like a pretty thing to click imho | 11:42 |
| mellh | but i reolved this little "memory problem" of kde3.5 while using 4gb of ram ^^ | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | mellh, what do you use your system for? | 11:42 |
| mellh | the system with 4gb ram is used for multimedia, gaming (et qw, doom3...) and verry importand image processing | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | mellh, nice | 11:44 |
| marco__ | hi, which is the channel for Hardy problems? | 11:45 |
| marco__ | (can0t install kde4) | 11:45 |

| Jack111 | what could i use like the abby finereader in kubuntu to edit pdf files?? | 12:52 |
| GuyFromHell | going ot just try restarting... | 12:56 |
| AmyRose | I installed KDE 4.0.0, and I can't seem to figure out what to do to get a static .gtkrc-2.0 file for GTK apps. (That is, no matter what I try, when KDE 4 starts up, my GTK apps are back to the plain Raleigh theme). Any ideas? | 12:57 |
| Jack111 | any idea how to edit pdf files in kubuntu? | 12:57 |
| AmyRose | Jack111: KWord can open them, but its ability to edit them depends on how the PDF is structured. | 12:58 |
| AmyRose | YMMV | 12:58 |
| Jack111 | YMMV? | 12:58 |
| AmyRose | Your Mileage May Vary | 12:58 |
| Jack111 | THANKS | 12:59 |
| AmyRose | It depends on the PDF itself | 12:59 |
| bazhang | !ymmv | 12:59 |
| ubotu | ymmv is short for "Your mileage may vary". It means that someone else's experience with compatibility, performance etc. may not necessarily match yours. Also see !wfm | 12:59 |

| ubotu | 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.

| FaiDillinGer | can someone tell me please how do i install xen on my kubuntu gutsy ?? | 13:01 |
| AmyRose | I've had better luck with VirtualBox | 13:01 |
| AmyRose | as in, it actually works =P | 13:02 |
| FaiDillinGer | i heard xen was the best virtualisation software | 13:02 |
| FaiDillinGer | thats why i want that one | 13:02 |
| AmyRose | Well, it doesn't work with all hardware. | 13:02 |
| FaiDillinGer | oh really ? | 13:02 |
| AmyRose | Yeah, you need a CPU with special features if you want to use all the features | 13:02 |
| FaiDillinGer | i got a core2 quad | 13:03 |
| AmyRose | oh, you should be fine then | 13:03 |
| FaiDillinGer | it should have instructions | 13:03 |
| FaiDillinGer | yep | 13:03 |

| AmyRose | ActionParsnip: But KDE runs great on it! | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | AmyRose, or gentoo ;) | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | AmyRose, then its cool | 13:05 |
| AmyRose | Um, no. I don't like waiting for the OS to compile | 13:05 |
| AmyRose | It runs Kubuntu Gutsy and will have KDE 4.0.0 on it in a while | 13:06 |
| nibbe | How do I install an old ver. of flash on Konqueror? | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip | AmyRose, its a good experience to go through (even ifi didnt make it) | 13:06 |

| AmyRose | ActionParsnip: I did. And I got bored. | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip | AmyRose, fair point :) | 13:06 |

| jussi01 | :) | 13:07 |
| AmyRose | jussi01: I already asked there | 13:07 |
| FaiDillinGer | i really enjoy kubuntu | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | nibbe, what are you trying to achieve | 13:07 |

| rotini | ubuntu and kubuntu are the same below the DE, right? So for a lot of questions, either channel would probably work? | 13:11 |
| AmyRose | yes, rotini | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | rotini, indeed but some gui methods of accessing things is different | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | rotini, CLI is identical though :D | 13:12 |
| AmyRose | but you're more likely to be helped here, especially if you're on KDE, because every time I'm in #ubuntu, it's crazy | 13:12 |
| rotini | AmyRose: but I'm thinking that there are a lot more eyes on a given problem in #ubuntu | 13:13 |
| AmyRose | rotini: Yeah, but your questions fly away faster too | 13:13 |
| rotini | yeah | 13:13 |

| hellmaster | im new with it but ive manage pretty well | 14:18 |
| hellmaster | the problem is that my windows dont have the bar with the maximixe buttons | 14:18 |
| hellmaster | and minimize | 14:18 |
| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: are you trying to use compiz | 14:18 |
| hellmaster | yes | 14:19 |
| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: do you have a nvidia card? | 14:19 |
| mooper | hullo, my laptop wont boot properly unless there is an external screen plugged in :( | 14:20 |
| nosrednaekim | mooper: you probably have that screen set as the primary screen | 14:21 |
| mooper | nosrednaekim: the external screen? | 14:21 |
| mooper | hmm, I think it might be the propietory drivers causing trouble | 14:22 |
| nosrednaekim | mooper: yes | 14:22 |
| nosrednaekim | mooper: its possible. in any case, a quick "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" should fix it | 14:22 |
| nuxil | i made a script to lock my X in Kde. when my bluetooth is off on my phone it locks X . http://pastebin.ca/856022 .. i did this since the kbluelock pack seems to be broken my my system.. however.. are there tools faster than hcitool scan to discover a bluetooth signal "mac and name" ? | 14:24 |
| nuxil | seems like obexftp -b uses hcitool scan | 14:24 |
| hellmaster | how can i repair my problem | 14:25 |
| hellmaster | can anyone help | 14:25 |
| hellmaster | ?\ | 14:25 |

| hellmaster | is just that now all my screens dont have the bar on top of them that have the minimize and maximize buttons and also my cube desktop is not working | 14:25 |
| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: do you have an nvidia card? | 14:26 |
| hellmaster | no my card is an ati9000 | 14:26 |
| hellmaster | im in a laptop | 14:26 |

| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: did you install XGL? | 14:27 |
| nuxil | nosrednaekim, ? | 14:27 |
| hellmaster | GL Desktop | 14:27 |
| nosrednaekim | nuxil: you know more about it than me :) | 14:27 |
| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: run this | 14:27 |
| nosrednaekim | "sudo apt-cache policy xserver-xgl" | 14:28 |
| hellmaster | ok | 14:28 |
| mooper | nosrednaekim: that seems to have borked everything nicely | 14:28 |
| nosrednaekim | mooper: now whats wrong.. | 14:28 |
| hellmaster | yes | 14:28 |
| hellmaster | now what | 14:29 |
| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: what did it say? | 14:29 |
| hellmaster | installed none | 14:29 |
| hellmaster | i originally installed ubuntu 7.1 | 14:29 |
| hellmaster | and then installed the rest of things | 14:29 |
| mooper | nosrednaekim: did the autodetect monitor thing and it has lots of pretty vertical stipes going down the screen | 14:29 |
| hellmaster | i know ubuntu was running gnome | 14:29 |
| hellmaster | does that has to do with it | 14:29 |
| hellmaster | it says installed none | 14:30 |
| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: ok, I need the output of "glxinfo" in a pastebin | 14:30 |
| nosrednaekim | mooper: yech! | 14:30 |
| hellmaster | candidate 1:1.1.99.1 | 14:30 |
| hellmaster | ok | 14:30 |
| nosrednaekim | mooper: so you have no working screen? | 14:30 |
| mooper | :( | 14:30 |
| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: ok. | 14:30 |
| hellmaster | do i paste it here? | 14:30 |
| * genii sips his coffee | 14:30 | |
| hellmaster | or send you a txt file? | 14:31 |
| genii | !paste | 14:31 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 14:31 |
| mooper | nosrednaekim: nope | 14:31 |
| mooper | nosrednaekim: I think its best just to be lazy and reinstall and stop fucking about with it maybe :) | 14:31 |
| hellmaster | how do i do that? sorry im new in this... | 14:31 |
| nosrednaekim | mooper: ok, reboot into recovery mode and unplug your secondary monitor (safe mode should use your laptop scren) | 14:31 |
| mooper | nosrednaekim: okay | 14:32 |
| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: run "glxinfo" copy the output and paste it at that URL. then give us the url of your paste | 14:32 |
| hellmaster | its kind of difficult it doesnt let me expand the window | 14:32 |
| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: and if you need your window borders back,do "alt+f2" and then "kwin --replace" | 14:32 |
| mooper | nosrednaekim: I have prompt | 14:33 |
| hellmaster | that was all i need it | 14:33 |
| hellmaster | THANKS!! | 14:33 |
| nosrednaekim | mooper: ok, run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 14:33 |
| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: lol, you don't want compiz? | 14:34 |
| nibbe | what is 'X' ? when I try to configure a theme it says: "Can't find X libraries. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!" | 14:34 |
| hellmaster | yes | 14:34 |
| hellmaster | i want it | 14:34 |

| hellmaster | can i do it throug repository | 14:34 |
| hellmaster | ? | 14:34 |
| nosrednaekim | mooper: yeah... it won't blow nothing up ;) | 14:34 |
| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: oh yes... | 14:34 |
| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: run "sudo apt-get install emerald" | 14:35 |
| mooper | Im assuming it has the correct bus identifyer | 14:35 |
| nosrednaekim | mooper: yeah... its good about things like that | 14:35 |
| hellmaster | thanks nosred | 14:35 |
| hellmaster | i was running the compiz in Gnome | 14:36 |
| mooper | nosrednaekim: This is a tricky question. Its asking me about ram reserved for video. My ATI mobility does use system mem as bvideo mem but I think its transparent to the os | 14:36 |
| hellmaster | where you trying to check if the compiz could run with my ati?? | 14:36 |
| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: yeah, in kde, you need emerald (or at least its easier that way) | 14:36 |
| hellmaster | ok the process finished | 14:36 |
| nosrednaekim | mooper: leave it as default | 14:36 |
| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: yeah. | 14:36 |
| hellmaster | now i have to apt-install right? | 14:36 |
| hellmaster | sorry i already installed | 14:37 |
| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: install what? | 14:37 |
| hellmaster | hehehe | 14:37 |
| nosrednaekim | :) | 14:37 |
| nosrednaekim | ok, try running, from a alt+f2, "compiz --replace && emerald --replace" | 14:37 |
| hellmaster | again i lost my windows bars | 14:38 |
| nuxil | hmm hmm | 14:39 |
| mallize | so, anyone have a step by step to get upgrade to the new KDE4 release? | 14:39 |
| nosrednaekim | mallize: read the topic | 14:39 |
| hellmaster | do i write kwin --replace again? | 14:39 |
| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: ok, run kwin --replace again | 14:39 |
| hellmaster | ok they are back | 14:40 |
| hellmaster | but | 14:40 |
| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: could you run "compiz --replace &&emerald --replace" from a terminal so I can see what the output is? | 14:40 |
| hellmaster | ok let me check something | 14:40 |
| nosrednaekim | mooper: finished yet? | 14:41 |
| mooper | yeah, just rebooting but it takes such a long time | 14:41 |
| nosrednaekim | :) | 14:41 |
| hellmaster | says checking for xgl not present | 14:42 |
| nosrednaekim | hellmaster: thats probably ok.. as long as it finds "glx_from pixmap" or whatever its called | 14:42 |
| nibbe | how do i use a .kth file? (a theme) | 14:42 |
| mooper | nosrednaekim: My thanks. you are rightious | 14:42 |

| SatManUK | sound is always the first to go.. | 17:10 |
| SatManUK | either when amarok is playing or when im on skype - usually a sound application allerts me to the screen blank before | 17:10 |
| SatManUK | but here is what was running at the time.. | 17:10 |
| SatManUK | I was on a skype call | 17:10 |
| SatManUK | with kopete in the background | 17:10 |

| === marco__ is now known as lonelyman | ||

| stf | 4.0 was released | 17:14 |
| SatManUK | whats the difference? | 17:14 |
| stf | it's that KDE 4.0 is only usable by nerds, and then barely. | 17:14 |
| SatManUK | is it just the libs? | 17:14 |

| SatManUK | i don't see any difference between kde 3 and kde 4 in the updates it downloaded | 17:17 |
| SatManUK | some programs seem to run on kde 4 and some on kde 3 | 17:17 |
| SatManUK | like i have two versions of konqueror installed | 17:17 |
| SatManUK | konqueror kde4 | 17:17 |
| SatManUK | and konquror - why | 17:17 |
| Downix | tyvm | 17:18 |
| stf | yes, you do. but you're still in a KDE3 session. to go in kde4 you need to choose kde4 in KDM (the login screen) | 17:18 |
| stdin | because you have 2 versions of kde, that's why | 17:18 |
| SatManUK | and if i remove kde3 then i will loose more than i gained? | 17:20 |
| stf | yes. | 17:20 |
| SatManUK | ah i see.. | 17:21 |
| SatManUK | i logged into tty9 with a kde4 session and i see the difference | 17:21 |
| SatManUK | it looks like kde3 from opensuse interface | 17:22 |
| stf | (that's only the app launching interface, "Kickoff", btw.) | 17:22 |
| SatManUK | aha | 17:23 |
| SatManUK | is it a opensuse rip off? | 17:23 |

| nuxil | stdin, l2ping -c1 -t1 -i hci 00:3A:3B:8C:A2:FB needs a sudo first | 17:37 |
| SatManUK | i don't believe my problem is even related with sound because - the triggure issue in this case was kopete. | 17:37 |
| nuxil | how can i change it so it dosent need a sudo | 17:37 |

| jussi01 | saebbi: we dont support it. | 20:19 |
| saebbi | jussi01 i see... does it work the other way around? | 20:19 |
| jussi01 | saebbi: in short, dont mix repos... | 20:19 |
| jussi01 | IMHO. | 20:19 |
| ScorpKing | saebbi: for that i suggest apt-cacher but like everyone will tell you, it's not recomended or supported | 20:20 |
| saebbi | jussi01 ok.. u mind explaining why? what could happen if did mix them? | 20:20 |
| trappist | saebbi: ubuntu packages have the advantage of being able to make assumptions about other packages on your system and how they're packaged, which will be different for debian packages. you might get lucky with some packages, but for the most part it won't work and you'll probably hose your system trying to make it work. | 20:20 |
| jussi01 | saebbi: trappist has a pretty good explanation :) | 20:20 |
| ScorpKing | !debian | saebbi | 20:21 |
| ubotu | saebbi: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 20:21 |

| saebbi | ok thank you guys, makes sense not to mix them then i guess | 20:22 |
| trappist | saebbi: what you *can* safely do (though you might still run into dependency issues) is take debian *source* packages and build them. | 20:22 |
| * ScorpKing nods.. | 20:22 | |
| saebbi | sigma_1234 nothing particular.. few days ago a buddy wanted to install a software on his debian, which was only available as 0.99 in the debian reps, but 2.1 in the ubuntu reps... | 20:23 |

| maddler | didn't noticed... on irssi over ssh and topic wasn't fully shown... | 21:01 |
| jmeng | hey, the kde4 packages from http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu aren't up to date, are they? I installed them but I can't change most settings (there is no bg image, the panel isn't configurable, ...) | 21:03 |

| jmeng | oh bummer ;) | 21:04 |
| hydrogen | See the topic.. | 21:04 |
| Black_Monkey | kde4 isn't exactly finished - hasn't got full feature parity with kde3.5 yet | 21:04 |

| stdin | Black_Monkey: what's kde4 final? and for that matter, what's kde3 final? there is no "final" | 21:06 |
| jmeng | Dr_Willis: it disappeared a couple of weeks ago ;) | 21:06 |
| Dr_Willis | its final in the sence that i guess its final for the developers to start building on. | 21:06 |
| Black_Monkey | stdin: true | 21:06 |
| stdin | jmeng: see my statement | 21:06 |
| Black_Monkey | but the release, often called final :-) | 21:06 |

| stdin | it's KDE 4.0.0 | 21:07 |
| * hydrogen points out that this is not #kubuntu-kde4 | 21:07 | |
| stdin | not even a .0.1 release yet | 21:07 |

| Zombocom | when it reaches 4.2? | 21:08 |
| Zombocom | or what | 21:08 |
| Dr_Willis | when it happens.. :) | 21:08 |
| SSJ_GZ | Zombocom: Up to distros to decided. | 21:08 |
| SSJ_GZ | -d | 21:08 |
| hydrogen | Will be standard in hardy | 21:08 |
| hydrogen | it sounds like | 21:08 |
| hydrogen | or at least an option to be standard | 21:09 |
| stdin | for new installs, yes | 21:09 |
| hydrogen | However, it should be a bit more polished by then | 21:09 |
| stdin | we should have at least 4.0.1 by then | 21:09 |

| n0va | lo all, I'm interested in kUbuntu 7.10 64bit and need to know if the Helix player will install for FireFox in kUbuntu 7.10 64 | 22:04 |
| Jay-Oh-En | stdin: wow | 22:04 |
| stdin | Jay-Oh-En: "To replicate your packages selection on another machine". what wan't clear? so we can update it if needed? | 22:04 |
| jussi01 | miegamice: kmenu -> system settings -> advanced -> restricted drivers | 22:04 |
| Jay-Oh-En | stdin: thats clear but not what i wanted/asked for i said "text file output" maybe like a program that can put a text file with the output of all of my packages i installed | 22:06 |
| stdin | Jay-Oh-En: yes, it created "my-packages" | 22:06 |
| miegamice | jussi01: there is no place, like advenced | 22:06 |
| jussi01 | miegamice: yes, its a tab up the top | 22:06 |
| Jay-Oh-En | stdin: ill try it | 22:06 |
| jussi01 | miegamice: are you on kde 3 or 4 ? | 22:07 |
| Dr_Willis | 5 :) | 22:07 |
| jussi01 | hehe | 22:07 |
| miegamice | jussi01: kde 3 | 22:07 |
| miegamice | i think | 22:07 |
| jussi01 | miegamice: so in system settings, in the top left corner | 22:08 |
| Jay-Oh-En | stdin: maybe you can change "To replicate your packages selection on another machine" to "to get a text file with the output of all the packages you installed blah blah blah" something like that | 22:08 |
| Jay-Oh-En | stdin: but now that i know what it does i wont ask any other questions | 22:08 |
| Dr_Willis | I thought it was rather clear. :) | 22:09 |
| Jay-Oh-En | Dr_Willis: sorry :[ i didnt get it til he explained to me that thats what it does | 22:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Well its a rather straight forward command, of course.. if you know bash basics. | 22:09 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 22:09 |
| Jay-Oh-En | stdin: or instead of changing that whole sentence change the mypackages part to mypackages.txt | 22:10 |
| Dr_Willis | I got a similer script also i found. | 22:10 |
| miegamice | jussi01: apearance? | 22:10 |
| Jay-Oh-En | Dr_Willis: i still havent got around to buying a bash book so you know where im coming from right? | 22:10 |
| Jay-Oh-En | Dr_Willis: i didnt mean to harp on anybody | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Jay-Oh-En: theres 100000000000000's of bash tutorial web sites. :) | 22:11 |
| jussi01 | miegamice: no | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | the use of > redirections is rather fundamental.. and worth learning about. Lots of neat things ya can do. | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Of coruse that whole backup/restore command eqeuence could proverly be changed to a rather fancy looking ssh command also. :) | 22:11 |
| jussi01 | miegamice: just to clarify, how did you install this system? | 22:12 |
| Jay-Oh-En | Dr_Willis: are they free? | 22:12 |
| miegamice | jussi01: linux? or what? | 22:12 |

| jussi01 | miegamice: nm. above all the little icon should be a tab that says advanced | 22:13 |
| Jay-Oh-En | Dr_Willis: if i install ubuntu from a disk what all can i delete so its not like how it is now | 22:13 |
| Jay-Oh-En | Dr_Willis: i have a home folder formated | 22:13 |
| stdin | mjwild: why do you need nero? k3b is pre-installed | 22:14 |

| flowers | does anyone know anything about ram disks? | 22:39 |
| miegamice | flowers: what disks? | 22:39 |
| flowers | a ram disk | 22:40 |
| flowers | miegamice: it's a temporary disk fromed on your systems memory | 22:40 |
| rbDESKTOP | nobody in the other chan | 22:41 |
| flowers | miegamice: i know for windows there are diffrent programs to do so, and was wondering if anyone knew anything for *nix | 22:41 |
| miegamice | flowers: dont know... maybe if you say in my language, i will remember :) | 22:41 |
| geos | I think the live-CDs are using ram disks | 22:41 |
| flowers | miegamice: what language? | 22:42 |
| flowers | geo | 22:42 |
| miegamice | latvian | 22:42 |
| flowers | geos: your probably right, but i was wondering if i could permanently set something up that would run at boot, so i could say, install amarok in it | 22:42 |

| ehamberg | Hello, I use kwin from KDE 4 in KDE 3.5.8, but I can't turn off its notifications in the control panel. (I guess kwin 3's control panel is shown.) How can I turn off these notifications? I was told to use kcmshell4, but that command isn't available in KDE 7.10, it seems. | 22:43 |
| ehamberg | Err, it was of course not in my $PATH as I don't use KDE 4. Sorry! :) | 22:44 |

| FaiDillinGer | can someone please help about kbluetooth on gutsy | 22:48 |
| FaiDillinGer | i cannot send files from mobile phone to pc | 22:48 |
| FaiDillinGer | but i can send from pc to mobile phone | 22:48 |
| miegamice | because you cannot find pc from mobile, right? | 22:49 |
| FaiDillinGer | i can find the pc | 22:49 |
| geos | flowers: perhaps "mount /dev/ram0 /media/ramdisk" may help you | 22:49 |
| FaiDillinGer | but when i try to connect to it with my mobile phone, it says connection interrupted | 22:49 |
| FaiDillinGer | the tray icon of kbluetooth becomes blue for a second and then it becomes grey again | 22:50 |
| flowers | geos: how do i specify size? | 22:50 |
| FaiDillinGer | i already try googling about this, but i cannot find any answers | 22:51 |
| miegamice | FaiDillinGer: I don't know about bluetooth on pc... | 22:51 |
| geos | menu.lst | 22:51 |
| geos | ramdisk_size=x | 22:51 |
| FaiDillinGer | miegamice: thx anyways. if anyone can provide any help, itd be welcome | 22:52 |
| geos | FaiDillinGer: you need a ftp-server on your pc for doing this | 22:54 |
| miegamice | how do I install nvidia video card... i saw, that linux support my video card, but when I tried to install that, it send an error.. | 22:55 |
| FaiDillinGer | geos: oh really ? it wasnt needed any ftpd on feitsy | 22:55 |
| FaiDillinGer | geos: it is pretty weird why i would need an ftpd since i dont even get the lit of services from the pc | 22:56 |
| FaiDillinGer | list of services | 22:56 |
| geos | FaiDillinGer: bluetooth-standard says so: But its File Transfer Profile not Protocol | 22:56 |
| geos | oh | 22:56 |
| hola | how to connect to kubuntu in a small net | 22:57 |
| geos | but without services running your clients won't get a list | 22:57 |
| FaiDillinGer | file transfer is just one of many services | 22:58 |
| FaiDillinGer | why dont i get other services | 22:58 |
| geos | that's correct | 22:58 |
| geos | i don't know which other service are running on your pc | 22:58 |
| geos | mom i try on my machine | 22:59 |
| === u^A is now known as u^A_ | ||
| geos | FaiDillinGer: perhaps you can install pushobexd and try again | 23:05 |
| geos | FaiDillinGer: a sorry! The correct paket name: obexpushd | 23:07 |
| FaiDillinGer | geos: it is already installed | 23:08 |
| geos | Another approach: Is any other bluetooth-device connected to the pc or mobile? | 23:10 |
| FaiDillinGer | geos: unfortunately i do not have any other bluetooth device i can try with | 23:12 |
| geos | Ok then this can't be a problem. If the pc is slave of an other connection it can't offer services to the mobile | 23:15 |
| FaiDillinGer | geos: it turns out, after googling, that this is a know bug on gutsy : https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebluetooth/+bug/146145 | 23:17 |

| ainrout | i installed vmware in ubuntu and windows xp in vmware, but i don't find my nvidia video card in windows xp, how do i fix this | 23:49 |
| ainrout | and this is my last question: is a "physical windows install" (which is recommended only for advanced users) physical only regarding the harddisk, or is it "more physical" in other ways, too? | 23:49 |
| Dr_willis | I kate may not have an auto-indenting feature.. | 23:50 |
| Dr_willis | ainrout it means to a real physical disk. thats it as far as i know | 23:50 |
| ainrout | Dr_willis: oh, just that, nothing more? | 23:51 |
| Dr_willis | ainrout, nothing else that i know of. | 23:51 |

| Dr_willis | nov 'nv' | 23:59 |
| Dr_willis | Not nv. :) | 23:59 |
| ibkanat | I tried both the nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new | 23:59 |
| Dr_willis | what is your video card? | 23:59 |
| ibkanat | yeah I did have failure when the xconfig changed it so I had to put it back to nv | 23:59 |
