[00:00] <ibkanat> currrently have nvidia-glx installed.... I tried to do the nvidia install from download but didnt have the right headers
[00:00] <ibkanat> maybe now I do just had a update
[00:01] <ibkanat> it is supported by the nvidia driver I have had it working before
[00:01] <ibkanat> just a bit at a loss what to do now
[00:02] <ibkanat> is there a way to check if the module installed right?
[00:02] <parkin> !juk
[00:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about juk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:03] <Zealot87> can anyone help me with xorg, i was trying to set dual monitors and now it's all messed up, i just want it to work with one of my monitors again :P
[00:03] <Zealot87> it keeps thinking the agp graphics card is located at PCI;1;0;0 or something
[00:03] <Dr_willis> ibkanat,  check the troubleshooting guide at the !nvidia page I guess.
[00:03] <Zealot87> i dont know how to tell it that it isnt
[00:03] <Dr_willis> !nvidia | ibkanat
[00:03] <ubotu> ibkanat: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[00:04] <Dr_willis> Zealot87,   check in /etc/X11/ there may be a backuped/origibnal xorg.conf file.
[00:04] <ibkanat> thanks I have tried those will look again I guess
[00:05] <ibkanat> is it worth it to try out kde4 is it fairly stable?
[00:05] <Dr_willis> ibkanat,  There is a glx module that needs to get loaded I thouhgt.. or perhaps with nvidia cards it DOSENT need tog et loaded.
[00:05] <Dr_willis> dont get to excit3ed about kde4 at this time.
[00:05] <Dr_willis> its still a work in progress
[00:05] <Zealot87> how do i move files from the commandline?
[00:05] <ibkanat> ok I am using it and it looks nice
[00:06] <Dr_willis> It was constantly crashing on me.,
[00:06] <Zealot87> how do i make the 'dir' command go slowly so i can see all the directories?
[00:07] <Dr_willis> dir command?
[00:07] <Dr_willis> Hmmm
[00:07] <ibkanat> ok... I guess I will wait is it Kubuntu's or is kde 4 fairly unstable??? I thought they just had a final release
[00:07] <ibkanat> ls
[00:07] <Dr_willis> most people use 'ls' :) not dir.
[00:07] <Dr_willis> dir | less   for pageing the output
[00:07] <Zealot87> im used to windows command prompt
[00:07] <Dr_willis> I have ls for windows/dos :)
[00:07] <Zealot87> welll, i never learned ls then :P
[00:08] <Zealot87> i was really young when i used DOS
[00:08] <Dr_willis> time to learn the bash FUNdaMENTALs :)
[00:08] <Zealot87> which of the old xorg.conf files should i use
[00:08] <Dr_willis> Zealot87,  depends on what ones you got..  and what you did to enable the dual monitors.
[00:09] <Dr_willis> ls -l shows them and the date last changed.  try the earliest one
[00:09] <Zealot87> uhhh i used the xorg configure program in the new kubuntu :P
[00:09] <Dr_willis> ls -l still shows the date.
[00:09] <genii> Zealot87: kxgenerator ?
[00:09] <Dr_willis> New Kubuntu?
[00:10] <genii> Dr_willis:  :)
[00:10] <Zealot87> oooh that makes pretty lists :)
[00:10] <Zealot87> genii, it is in the system settings of kubuntu
[00:10] <ibkanat> thanks Dr_willis laters
[00:10] <Zealot87> after that didnt work though, i reverted to dpkg reconfigure but that just ruined my xorg.conf :P
[00:11] <Zealot87> ok now how would i switch the xorg.conf with an old one?
[00:12] <genii> Zealot87: it will be something like    sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf<date of one you want>  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:13] <Zealot87> and that will do the replacing for me?
[00:14] <genii> Zealot87: yes
[00:14] <Zealot87> i think its working, im starting x now
[00:14] <genii> Zealot87: where I put <date of one you want> substitute accordingly
[00:14] <Zealot87> yeah i used xorg.conf.1 because 2-9 were all yesterday :P
[00:15] <Zealot87> it worked!
[00:15] <Zealot87> thanks all for help!
[00:16] <Dr_willis> And once again logic and though pays off! :)
[00:16] <Dr_willis> Thought.
[00:16] <Dr_willis> and a little shell voodoo. (but its not)
[00:16] <wesley> how would you install ubuntu on 1 gb?
[00:17] <Dr_willis> wesley,  depends on what you want it to do.
[00:17] <Dr_willis> a 1gb usb drive? Or you are just real real tight on hd space?
[00:17] <biovore> wesley: hmm server install and install console system then install the gui stuff peice mill.. ( if on a HD )
[00:17] <wesley> just daily use but what i mean is the OX Computer i dis=d see 2 on ebay
[00:19] <wesley> it looks a nice computer that ox computer its runs fedora core 7 i did here
[00:19]  * Dr_willis is totally lost. :)
[00:19] <wesley> http://xoforall.com
[00:19] <Dr_willis> 1gb i going to be tight for  a kubuntu/ubuntu isntall.. its proberly doable. but not much space for  other things
[00:20] <wesley> you could chose for a flash usb thing to run your os on it?
[00:21] <Dr_willis> Installing ubuntukubuntu to a usb-flash has issues to watch out for also
[00:21] <wesley> i know i did try it with 2 gb mini sd
[00:21] <Dr_willis> running kubuntu on one of the OLPC  laptops will be a bit tight.
[00:22] <wesley> it gots 450 mhz and 256 mb ram
[00:23] <Dr_willis> yes.. and it will still be a bit tight..
[00:23] <Dr_willis> I imagine theres people doing it :)
[00:23] <Odd-rationale> wesley: I would think that you would need more than a gb. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[00:24] <Dr_willis> for a 'full' linux disrto on that thing. I think DSL, or PuppyLinux may serve better.
[00:24] <Odd-rationale> wesley: And even though your flash usb might say 1 gb, it might really be less than tha.
[00:24] <Odd-rationale> *that
[00:24] <Paddy_EIRE> zenwalk maybe Dr_willis
[00:24] <wesley> that things runs fedora its seems standaard the OX computer runs linux
[00:25] <Dr_willis> its running a very very very cut down fedora
[00:25] <Paddy_EIRE> matchbox window manager
[00:25] <Odd-rationale> wesley: I agree with Dr_willis. Use dsl or (my pref) puppy linux.
[00:25] <Dr_willis> it does run linux correct.. :) linux can run on lots of things..
[00:25] <biovore> well I have mashed debian sarge into 400MB and 128MB ram on a PI 233 MHz Machine and it worked ok.. Just don't expect much..
[00:25] <Dr_willis> that dosent mean you can install kubntu on it and have it run we..
[00:25] <posingaspopular> offtopic guys....
[00:25] <Daisuke_Ido> toasters...  microwaves...  the occasional hamster
[00:26] <Zealot89> i just dont work with the shell enough to remember all of the commands well enough.  but most importantly because i just switched back to kubuntu after the final year in an 8 year lifespan of my windows machine finally came to an end :P
[00:26] <wesley> yeah okay i know you need for kubuntu 2 gb but mint linux seems to run on it and fedora
[00:26]  * genii contemplates the linux powered internet coffee appliance
[00:26] <Dr_willis> I would think a minimal hd space needed for a useable kubuntu system would be about a 1gb+
[00:26] <wesley> but first getting one i live in dutch
[00:27] <genii> Dr_willis: With always using the wipe cache switch of apt-get I managed to install on 780Mb
[00:27]  * Dr_willis has lost the logic of this thread. :)
[00:27] <Dr_willis> genii,  You sicko! :0
[00:27] <genii> heehee
[00:28] <wesley> wipe cache off?
[00:28] <Dr_willis> when you isntall packages they get cached in /var/cache/apt/SOMTHING :)
[00:28] <Dr_willis> that cache can get a bit big at times
[00:28] <genii> wesley: apt-get stores in /var/cache/apt/archives, there is a switch whch always wipes it after installing the app
[00:29] <Dr_willis> so in 'theory' one can install kubuntu on a 1gb filesytem.. with work.
[00:30] <wesley> yeah okay but will everthing work on 450 mhz
[00:30] <biovore> kde will be slow and you need 384 MB ram for all the eye candy
[00:31] <wesley> What the Classmate PC?
[00:34] <genii> I remember now, made apt.conf entry of APT::Dir::Cache::pkgcache "/tmp";
[00:34] <ainrout> is linux another type of ubuntu, or is it just a "kernel"?
[00:35] <wesley> The Classmate pc looks intresting
[00:35] <genii> linux itself is just the kernel, yes
[00:35] <genii> ainrout: linux itself is just the kernel, yes
[00:36] <biovore> If your not doing graphics.. linux can be very small
[00:37] <genii> ainrout: A distrbution of linux like ubuntu is the kernel of linux (sometimes adjusted with patches to make the applications supplied with it operate properly) with a bundled set of applications
[00:37] <Dr_willis> Linux is all about layers and legos. :) Not layers like an Onion. :)
[00:37] <Dr_willis> PuppyLinux - is a full disrto that can fit under 50mb.
[00:38] <MaTiAz> linux is whatever you can make it :p
[00:38] <dorkface> Hi all.  I have a dell laptop that has volume control by buttons.  However, with kmix, the volume goes up and down 10% each time, not sensitive enough for my tastes.  Does anyone have enough experience with it to lead me in the right direction?
[00:38] <ainrout> aha, thank you
[00:39] <wesley> its not easy getting in europa a xo laptop
[00:40] <Dr_willis> i think id rather have an Asus EEEpc. then an XO. But thats just me. :P
[00:42] <flowers> does anyone run compiz?
[00:43] <wesley> The Asus eee pc is indeed al little better but expensive
[00:43] <Dr_willis> Yep. Depends on your needs.
[00:43] <Dr_willis> I cant afford either.. so im getting Neither. :P
[00:44] <amine> bonsoir tout le monde
[00:44] <amine> j'ai une question
[00:44] <biovore> !fr
[00:44] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[00:45] <stealthy> Anyone know if there's a way to do software T&L for gma950 on linux? I know the windows drivers do it, but this isn't windows
[00:45] <biovore> stealthy: T&L?
[00:45] <Doctor_Subtilis> is it possible to reinstall compiz-fuzion AND its dependencies from terminal?
[00:45] <Dr_willis> why do you need to 'reinstall' it?
[00:46] <Dr_willis> yes.its  doable Doctor_Subtilis
[00:46] <sweettooth> i'm trying to install a program and after doing a 'make' i get the following list of errors... http://pastebin.com/d1be944b4
[00:46] <sweettooth> help?
[00:46] <Doctor_Subtilis> it keeps saying that xgl is missing
[00:46] <Doctor_Subtilis> and it was working the other day
[00:46] <Dr_willis> sweettooth,  you did install the build-essential package?
[00:46] <Dr_willis> Doctor_Subtilis,  thats most likely a X driver issue. Not a compiz issue
[00:46] <sweettooth> what package is that
[00:46] <Doctor_Subtilis> it was working for a week or so actually, no problems
[00:46] <Doctor_Subtilis> gahh
[00:47] <sweettooth> Dr_willis: can i get that through apt-get?
[00:47] <Doctor_Subtilis> btw, this is Zealot87 who just switched his xorg.conf back, so that could be the problem then...i was hoping it wasnt
[00:47] <genii> Wow,this room seems full of Dr's
[00:47] <Doctor_Subtilis> hehe
[00:47]  * sweettooth is a linux nooberz :)
[00:48] <Doctor_Subtilis> Dr_willis; how can i get it reconfigured to work then? should i uninstall it and reinstall it and its dependencies?
[00:49]  * genii ponders the ubiquitous sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[00:50] <tlmarker> can someone help me with KDE4?
[00:50] <Dr_willis> Doctor_Subtilis,  if the X driver is messed up/not right - thats nothing to do with compiz
[00:50] <sweettooth> Dr_willis: as a matter of fact, yes I did install the build-essential package. I just checked.
[00:53] <sweettooth> why else  would i be getting these errors?
[00:53] <sweettooth> http://pastebin.com/d1be944b4
[00:53] <Doctor_Subtilis> well what should i do to fix X then?
[00:53] <Doctor_Subtilis> graphics are working just fine
[00:54] <genii> sweettooth: You are trying to compile Enlightenment window manager?
[00:54] <tlmarker> has anyone tryed the new KDE4?
[00:54] <sweettooth> genii: yes.
[00:55] <genii> sweettooth: Why not just install the package instead
[00:55] <sweettooth> genii: rpm?
[00:55] <genii> sweettooth: no.
[00:56] <genii> sweettooth: in konsole:    sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install enlightenment
[00:56] <sweettooth> ok let me try that 1 sec
[00:57] <Dr_willis> This is when it pays to summarize the question.. not just paste a pastebin site and expect people to read the actual queation
[00:57] <sweettooth> genii: got some errors.. wanna see?
[00:58] <genii> sure
[00:59] <genii> sweettooth: Was your computer connected to the internet when you installed kubuntu?
[00:59] <sweettooth> genii: http://pastebin.com/d233b8b22
[00:59] <sweettooth> genii: no.
[01:00] <BluesKaj> FF still won't launch from URL links in Thunderbird . None of the so called fixes that i've managed to track down will launch FF ...suggestions ?
[01:01] <Doctor_Subtilis> is there a compiz irc channel?
[01:01] <genii> sweettooth: sudo apt-get remove --purge enlightenment; sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/enlightenment* ; sudo apt-get install enlightenment
[01:01] <biovore> !compiz
[01:01] <ubotu> Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion
[01:02] <sweettooth> genii: ok one sc
[01:03] <sweettooth> genii: same errors
[01:04] <Doctor_Subtilis> anyone know how to reposition the kopete bubbles?
[01:07] <sweettooth> genii: got any other suggestions?
[01:08] <genii> sweettooth: The package you have been trying to compile is interfering
=== ForeverZero is now known as sea4ever
[01:08] <sweettooth> genii: i see. So what should i do?
[01:08] <genii> sweettooth: So if you are still in the directory which you tried "make" or "make install" from, do "make clean"
[01:09] <sweettooth> genii: Gotcha
[01:09] <sweettooth> genii: done.
[01:09] <genii> sweettooth: Then try again only: sudo apt-get install enlightenment
[01:10] <sweettooth> genii: ok, 1 sec
[01:10] <genii> laptop is dying need to go dig out cord, away a bit
[01:11] <sweettooth> genii: same eror =/
[01:11] <sweettooth> error*
[01:11] <Dr_willis> the Geubuntu and gOS repositories have all sorts of Enlightenment related packages. :P
[01:12] <Dr_willis> Not that i cared much for gOS or geubuntu very much.
[01:12] <stealthy> biovore: T&L - transform and lighting
[01:14] <genii> sweettooth: Well, since it thinks at least part of enlightenment is already in there, perhaps try instead:   sudo apt-get install --reinstall enlightenment
[01:14] <genii> back, incidentally ;)
[01:15] <stealthy> so anyway, does anyone know of some sort of software gma950 T&L emulation?
[01:16] <sweettooth> genii: nope :(
[01:17] <genii> sweettooth: OK, as before with "make clean"   but this time with "make dist-clean"
[01:18] <dick-richardson> how do I view quicktime in firefox?
[01:19] <sweettooth> genii: ok 1 sec
[01:19] <mathieu__> hola
[01:20] <mathieu__> how can I search which package contain a certain binary?
[01:20] <mathieu__> ie. Im looking for kde4-config
[01:20] <sweettooth> genii: make: *** No rule to make target `dist-clean'.  Stop.
[01:20] <crimsun> mathieu__: apt-find, http://packages.ubuntu.com
[01:20]  * genii ruminates
[01:20] <crimsun> s#find#file#
[01:21] <crimsun> (sorry, have been typing 'find' very often in the past twenty minutes)
[01:21] <iVoted> just a quick question... Where would i go to get more plasmoids for kde4?
[01:21] <mathieu__> thanks. (its weird that apt-find is not installed by default, then...)
[01:22] <crimsun> mathieu__: it's apt-file; see my above correction
[01:22] <mathieu__> err apt-file, lol
[01:22] <crimsun> note that http://packages.ubuntu.com has a variable delay
[01:23] <genii> sweettooth: OK. There is another way which may work. It will download the correct source code for enlightenment into the current directory and then compile it into a .deb file which you can then do: sudo dpkg -i <packagename.deb>   with. So we need to be in the dir above the one which you put the other source code in so it overwrites
[01:23] <_hufi_> how i can enter on kubuntu here?
[01:24] <_hufi_> www.knuddels.at
[01:24] <genii> sweettooth: So in this case it looks like your /home/sweettooth/desktop    directory
[01:24] <stdin> !java | _hufi_
[01:24] <ubotu> _hufi_: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) or earlier.
[01:24] <genii> desktop with uppercase D that is
[01:25] <mathieu__> iVoted: extragears-plasma-data
[01:25] <genii> sweettooth: so in that dir:  sudo apt-get source --compile enlightenment
[01:26] <stdin> mathieu__: that's just the images for the plasmoids, it needs extragears-plasma to work
[01:26]  * genii makes more coffee
[01:26] <genii> stdin: Any word on kde4 ligature yet? (just curious)
[01:27] <sweettooth> genii: ok 1 sec
[01:27] <sweettooth> genii: im going to make a new dir on my desktop and do it there
[01:28] <genii> sweettooth: OK
[01:28] <stdin> genii: if it wasn't released with 4.0.0, then it basically needs someone to go out and choose to package it
[01:28] <iVoted> mathieu__: thanks
[01:28] <umbert> salve
[01:29] <sweettooth> genii: E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list
[01:29] <umbert> c'è qlk italiano?
[01:29] <_hufi_> i dont understand
[01:29] <_hufi_> how i enable backports?
[01:30] <stdin> !backports | _hufi_
[01:30] <ubotu> _hufi_: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[01:30] <NickPresta> !backports | _hufi_

[01:31] <sweettooth> ok

[01:31] <NickPresta> umbert, tipo: /join #kubuntu-it
[01:32] <genii> sweettooth: OK back
[01:33] <sweettooth> genii: ok.. just let me know which lines to uncomment in sources file
[01:34] <_hufi_> stdin cant you simpely say what i have to type in the console to enter this side?
[01:34] <genii> sweettooth: edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list   .If you have lines beginning # deb-src  remove the # if you have no lines beginning like this then for every line which begins with deb <something>  duplicate this line and make the new line begin deb-src <whatever>
[01:34] <mith__> hi all
[01:35] <mathieu__> hmm im trying to build a kde4 program but I have problems doing it with the supplied kde4
[01:35] <mathieu__> is it supposed to work or.. well, not yet?
[01:35] <genii> sweettooth: Remember you need admin priveege to edit this file so from konsole is sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list   or from kde gui alt-f2 then kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:35] <stdin> _hufi_: just install sun-java6-jre
[01:35] <mith__> i have tried to install a .deb package but it says "the package doesn't exists" but... it's there!!...

[01:37] <dsmith_> anyone know if the netgear wireless 311 pci card works with *buntu?
[01:37] <genii> sweettooth: After saving the changes: sudo apt-get update     then try again    sudo apt-get source --compile enlightenment
[01:37] <sweettooth> genii: ok
[01:37] <dsmith_> e17? eww
[01:38] <dsmith_> well my opinion anyways

[01:50] <maco_> Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssseeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!1
[01:50] <Dr_willis> maco_: do /topic   to see the link you need
[01:50] <sweettooth> genii: ok
[01:51] <maco_> Dr_willis i dont understand!!!!
[01:51] <genii> maco_: go to channel #kubuntu-kde4
[01:52] <maco_> ok....
[01:52] <genii> maco_: Since you are also running 8.04 you will not find support yet in this channel, try instead #ubuntu+1 channel for that
[01:52] <maco_> Are you sending me to that channel???????????
[01:53] <maco_> Cant you help me???
[01:53] <genii> maco_: click on where it says #kubuntu-kde4 or #ubuntu
[01:53] <genii> #ubuntu+1   rather      to go there
[01:55] <genii> !ping
[01:55] <ubotu> pong
[01:55] <genii> Hmm
[01:56] <Daisuke_Ido> not to mention the topic in #ubuntu+1 pretty much says that if you don't know what you're doing, you have no business running hardy yet - not those exact WORDS, true, but the concept is there
[01:57] <maco_> And... why do you have this channel??? If you arent helping me!!!!!!
[01:57] <Dr_willis> !kubuntu
[01:57] <ubotu> Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE
[01:58] <genii> sweettooth: Any joy yet? I need to leave soon to catch the last priod of hockey at a friend's house :)
[01:58] <genii> *period
[01:58] <sweettooth> genii: lol
[01:59] <sweettooth> genii: looks like it went well but how do i know if its installed
[01:59] <genii> sweettooth: Good. You should have now at the login screen under where you choose session type the window manager enlightenment which you can choose
[02:00] <sweettooth> ooo ok
[02:00] <sweettooth> thanks :D
[02:00] <sweettooth> genii = the best
[02:00] <sweettooth> XD
[02:00] <sweettooth> g2g now.. got a date =)
[02:00] <sweettooth> c ya
[02:01] <genii> maco_: Some point to make: This channel is for supported versions of kubuntu. Hardy (8.04) is not yet a supported version. You can find some support for 8.04 in the channel #ubuntu+1 Also. kde4 is also not yet officially supported in this channel. So you have come to the wrong channel twice in a way of speaking. We have referred you to the corrct places to go for what you need.
[02:07] <CPrgmSwR2> Is there a cd out yet to install kubuntu with kde4 as default?
[02:07] <kilrae> genii: does kubuntu support windows?
[02:07] <Dr_willis> !windows
[02:07] <ubotu> For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[02:07] <genii> CPrgmSwR2: No. But a debian livecd with kde4 preview exists. Google may find you where to download it
[02:08] <stdin> CPrgmSwR2: have you seen the announcement page? it's on there
[02:08] <CPrgmSwR2> stdin yes hafl the programs are missing
[02:08] <stdin> CPrgmSwR2: what half?
[02:08] <CPrgmSwR2> Like okular
[02:08] <CPrgmSwR2> kopete
[02:09] <Dr_willis> they are in the repos i thought. Not isntalled by default.
[02:09] <CPrgmSwR2> And amarok2
[02:09] <CPrgmSwR2> Along with koffice21
[02:09] <NickPresta> CPrgmSwR2, amarok2 is not out yet, AFAIK
[02:09] <Dr_willis> look in the package maanger.
[02:09] <stdin> nothing has amarok2 or koffice2
[02:09] <stdin> those aren't released
[02:09] <CPrgmSwR2> okay
[02:09] <stdin> amarok isn't even in beta yet
[02:10] <CPrgmSwR2> okay
[02:11] <stroud> I tried gutsy alpha 3 and it doesn't seem to have the restricted drivers package.  I need it for the broadcom wireless driver
[02:12] <NickPresta> stroud, gutsy (stable) is released.
[02:12] <stroud> opps I meant the next release (hardy?)
[02:12] <NickPresta> hardy, yes.
[02:13] <NickPresta> !hardy | stroud
[02:13] <ubotu> stroud: hardy is Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[02:20] <parkin> is there any releaseschedule for the next version of kubuntu aswell?
[02:23] <Daisuke_Ido> there will be an 8.04 release, but as far as i know, it will NOT be a long-term support lease.
[02:23] <Daisuke_Ido> release*
[02:23] <parkin> ok
[02:24] <sMonk> Hello all
[02:28] <sMonk> Hey, I just noticed a lot of the core has updates (kde4).. is there a site to get "what" in the code is being updated?
[02:29] <maco_> How do I open KONKEROR from the Konsole??
[02:29] <maco_> ¿¿??
[02:30] <maco_> I want to open Konkeror from Gnome, from terminal
[02:30] <ubuntu_> anyone know how to fix grub error 5 i tried googlin it but couldnt find an answer
[02:30] <maco_> Could u help me??
[02:32] <Dr_willis> the command 'konqueror' starts konqueror.
[02:33] <Daisuke_Ido> Dr_willis: i think genii committed seppuku
[02:34] <Daisuke_Ido> and i completely understand why
[02:34] <Dr_willis> grub error 5 -  5 : "Disk geometry error" This error is returned when a read is attempted at a linear block address beyond the end of the BIOS translated area. This generally happens if your disk is larger than the BIOS can handle (512MB for (E)IDE disks on older machines or larger than 8GB in general).
[02:35] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  is this on a  old system?    You may need to enable the lba mode stuff.. Ive not had to mess with that in years, used to be a issue years ago with  hard drives.
[02:35] <ubuntu_> its not very old
[02:36] <NickPresta> Daisuke_Ido, :)
[02:36] <Dr_willis> has it ever worked , what have you done recently to it? what have you tried so far....
[02:36] <Daisuke_Ido> dark chocolate-covered espresso beans...  nomnomnom
[02:37] <trac1> have a question regarding system requirements
[02:38] <nosrednaekim> trac1: ok
[02:38] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. finding 2 different sites that give what error 5 means...
[02:38] <Dr_willis> 5 : Partition table invalid or corrupt This error is returned if the sanity checks on the integrity of the partition table fail. This is a bad sign.
[02:38] <ubuntu_> i had kubuntu on it a while ago but i formated my hd since then i have recently installed xp then i tried installing kubuntu and that happened...well i really dono what to try
[02:38] <NickPresta> trac1, what is your question?
[02:38] <trac1> is ubuntu going to work well on a p3, or do I need to install kubuntu?
[02:38] <trac1> new to linux alltogether
[02:38] <nosrednaekim> trac1: both should work about the same
[02:38] <NickPresta> trac1, I would imagine ubuntu will run slightly better (due to Gnome) than Kubuntu
[02:38] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  if its a clean install and nothign worth saving. I would say use fdisk and delete all the partitions, leaving the hd unallocated. restart the isntaller, and let it partition the drive.
[02:39] <trac1> i started w/ a new format
[02:39] <trac1> picked up a cheap lappy to play around w/
[02:39] <nosrednaekim> trac1: how fast is the processor?
[02:39] <ubuntu_> ok ty ill try
[02:39] <trac1> 933
[02:40] <nosrednaekim> p3's can range from 500 - 1ghz
[02:40] <nosrednaekim> trac1: nice... how much ram?
[02:40] <trac1> 256
[02:40] <nosrednaekim> trac1: ok, either kubuntu or ubuntu should work just fine
[02:40] <trac1> need to find some more, but it ran the graphic installer
[02:40] <NickPresta> trac1, that should run fine if you have the "special" effects turned off. I used to run Kubuntu (5.10) on a P3, 733 laptop with 256 RAM. You should be fine, at worst :)
[02:43] <trac1> altogether not a bad experience, things work differently then windows f/s
[02:43] <Dr_willis> sudo chown willis.willis /media/windows ----> no affect.
[02:44] <Dr_willis> doh wrong channel. :)
[02:44] <draik> Hello all
[02:45] <nosrednaekim> trac1: yep, thats the first step to learning linux :)
[02:45] <nosrednaekim> hey draik
[02:45] <draik> I have been looking into an internal wireless card for my new laptop
[02:45] <draik> Does anyone know if this is a good card... Orinoco 8660-FC -N  ?
[02:45] <draik> Hey nosrednaekim
[02:45] <nosrednaekim> draik: I think Orinoco's are good...
[02:46] <biovore> most intell chipsets work well..
[02:47] <draik> nosrednaekim: http://www.bizsyscon.com/product.php?id=3936
[02:48] <nosrednaekim> biovore: intel doesn't make wireless cards ;)
[02:49] <biovore> nosrednaekim: they make wireless chipsets.. (the part that matters)
[02:49] <nosrednaekim> biovore: yeah, but you just can't buy a mini-pci card
[02:52] <biovore> nosrednaekim: intel makes a 3945ABG Network card that is mini-pci expre
[02:52] <nosrednaekim> really? and sells it on retail?
[02:52] <Dr_willis> Argh - time to go to work. 3rd shift. :(  well  night all.

[02:58] <biovore> nosrednaekim: yeah.. I been messing with konqueror4.. seems to work fairly well after some updates..
[02:58] <draik> nosrednaekim: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsProxim
[02:58] <draik> I don't understand that first part... Supports network install?
[02:59] <nosrednaekim> draik: means it can netboot
[02:59] <nosrednaekim> draik: looks like it works just fine...
[02:59] <AmyRose> nosrednaekim: Yeah, it's so usable, it krashes on me every half hour
[03:00] <draik> Wait
[03:00] <draik> Those are not it
[03:00] <draik> Those are PCMCIA
[03:00] <draik> I am looking for miniPCI
[03:00] <nosrednaekim> not the first one...
[03:00] <nosrednaekim> its PCI
[03:00] <nosrednaekim> hmmm you want mini PCI...
[03:00] <nosrednaekim> never mind...

[03:01] <draik> biovore: :) You just solved it for me
[03:02]  * draik gives biovore a gold star
[03:03] <BluesKaj> well, Ive tried the the about:config in thunderbird preferences (network.protocol-handler.app.http - /opt/mozilla/bin/firefox) , but FF still won't launch from a link in thunderbird ...I wonder if anyone has actually solved this problem in gutsy ?
[03:03] <nosrednaekim> oh wow! I want one !! XD
[03:03] <nosrednaekim> biovore: I admnit i'm wrong :)
[03:03] <draik> BluesKaj: I don't have that issue. Thunderbird links open in FF
[03:03] <draik> How are your defaults?
[03:04] <BluesKaj> that really helps me draik :)
[03:04] <draik> biovore: And it seems to work right out of the box since Dapper
[03:04] <draik> BluesKaj: What are your defaults?
[03:04] <BluesKaj> FF & T-bird
[03:05] <BluesKaj> did a clean install after kde4 mucked up my setup
[03:05] <draik> BluesKaj: Do you have that setup through System Settings > Default Applications ?
[03:05] <BluesKaj> yeah
[03:08] <trac1> how much lag does Wine have, as compared to running an app in a windows environment?
[03:08] <biovore> depends on the app
[03:08] <biovore> sometime its not noticable.. sometimes..  forget about it..
[03:08] <draik> BluesKaj: I am looking at my settings for Thunderbird. Nothing stands out to me.
[03:08] <NickPresta> trac1, some applications have performance increases in Wine. Some have poor performance. It depends
[03:08] <stdin> trac1: sometimes wine is faster
[03:09] <BluesKaj> trac1,not really too bad ...I run a couple windows apps in wine with no noticeable lagtime
[03:09] <trac1> is shockwave doable? or not worth the hassle?
[03:10] <stdin> trac1: you'd have to install firefox in wine (and it should work fine)
[03:11] <BluesKaj> draik,  I've tried the the about:config in thunderbird preferences (network.protocol-handler.app.http - /opt/mozilla/bin/firefox), but that fix doesn't work either
[03:12] <trac1> thnx all
[03:16] <draik_> Someone had to call the house and disconnect me from the DSL connection :(
[03:17] <Daisuke_Ido> your...  dsl disconnects if you get a phone call?
[03:18] <draik_> Daisuke_Ido: Yes.
[03:18] <draik_> Takes about 30 sec (at least) to regain connection once the phone has been answered.
[03:19] <Daisuke_Ido> might i recommend those line filters that were provided by the phone company?
[03:19] <draik_> Like now
[03:19] <draik_> Bye all
[03:19] <Daisuke_Ido> they actually are useful
[03:19] <mith_> how can i configure my IrDa? or download a driver or sg?

[03:38] <stdin> unless you're planning on programming with apt, nothing
[03:38] <mith_> i tried to install a .deb package
[03:39] <stdin> what version of kubuntu are you on?
[03:39] <mith_> 7.10 gutsy
[03:39] <stdin> you probably want to report that as a bug then, if gdebi isn't working
[03:40] <stdin> for now just install the .deb the old fashioned way "sudo dpkg -i /path/to/package.deb"
[03:40] <mith_> after this message the gdebi says: " the package doesn't exist...etc"

[04:58] <test1-ba-pdgin> hi all, I have a big problem with the apt-get system:
[04:59] <test1-ba-pdgin> I downloaded all of the ubuntu repository and made the Packages.gz file with the dpkg-scanpackages utility but
[05:02] <test1-ba-pdgin> during downloding my local repository became biger and biger for about 2 weeks . each time I run the dpkg-scanpackages utility I could install more packages from my local repository until from 3 days ago after running it (dpkg-scanpackages) and then "apt-get update" the "apt-get install  ...." after this tells me: "E: Wow, you exceeded the number of versions this APT is capable of."
[05:04] <test1-ba-pdgin> what is my solution ? is the because of a big repository? but I download only from the main repository of ubuntu: "archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu" and thus it must do good without error as when I connect to this main repository from Internet !!!
[05:06] <sigma_1234> looks like you'll have to undo what you have done
[05:07] <sigma_1234> have you downloaded the entire repository to your computer?
[05:08] <test1-ba-pdgin> sigma_1234, yes

[05:23] <Nyle> hi
[05:23] <Nyle> I am using gusty how can i get kde4?
[05:23] <Nyle> ah nm topic scorlled too high
[05:27] <tlmarker> i have a question about the livecd
[05:29] <Agent_bob> !ask
[05:29] <ubotu> 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. :-)
[05:30] <tlmarker> sorry ubotu. I am having trouble getting KDE4 working by installing is. I downloaded the Kubuntu Live CD with KDE4, and it seemed to work. If I do a fresh install, will everything work as it did off the LiveCD?
[05:30] <andresj> kde4 icons were fixed! :)
[05:31] <Agent_bob> yuch,  apt-move uses three lamguages.(auk sh and perl)   i'm like come on. cant you do this in one lang.... K-rap!
[05:32] <andresj> tlmarker, ubotu is a bot :) and yes, it will probably work as it did in the livecd... or at least good enough (I'm using the kde4 pkgs in a non-fresh install and evthng works nicely)
[05:33] <tlmarker> i think my problems revolve around my nvidia card/drivers. do you think I will have problems with nvidia?
[05:34] <Agent_bob> !nv is pretty well supported.
[05:34] <andresj> tlmarker, kubuntu feisty (and probably gutsy) will ask you to install propietatry drivers
[05:35] <el_taco> is anyone else having problems with flash locking up firefox?
[05:35] <andresj> so that you can enjoy thenice expose, transparency, etc in kde4. (explore Ctrl-F8 to 10 and Ctrl-F12 in kde4 :))
[05:37] <nibbe> How do I open a .bin file? (realplayer installation). ./RealPlayer10GOLD-Linux.bin doesn't work "command not found"
[05:37] <Agent_bob> bash ./RealPlayer10GOLD-Linux.bin
[05:37] <nibbe> cannot execute binary file
[05:38] <Agent_bob> the reason you are getting the "command not found" error is because it's not executable.
[05:38] <Agent_bob> ah and it's a binary   so chmod it and run it
[05:38] <nibbe> chmod?
[05:38] <Agent_bob> yep
[05:38] <Agent_bob> man chmod if you need to
[05:38] <nibbe> what is chmod?
[05:39] <Jucato> "CHange MODe"
[05:39] <Agent_bob> man chmod
[05:39] <Agent_bob> next Q is probably what is man....
[05:39]  * Jucato resists the urge to answer that :)
[05:39] <Agent_bob> :)
[05:40] <nibbe> totally new to linux .-P
[05:40] <Agent_bob> i still think that all linux installers should first dump you into    man man    before it does anything else.  so you would at least have see a man page before installing.
[05:41] <nibbe> but the last time i installer realplayer i only had do to ./RealPlayer10GOLD-Linux.bin
[05:41] <Agent_bob> i doubt that.     you just don't remember chmod'ing it.
[05:42] <Agent_bob> probably did it through konq
[05:42] <nibbe> so I can do it through Konq? how?
[05:42] <Agent_bob> only exception would be if you dl'd it to a vfat mount and then ran it.
[05:43] <andresj> Agent_bob, if he is doing ./Real....bin "command not found" should not be the error.
[05:43] <Agent_bob> andresj try it with a file that's not executable
[05:43] <andresj> it says "Permission denied"
[05:44] <andresj> command not found appears when you don't put the './' in the beginning...
[05:44] <Agent_bob> ah yes some shells do.    some will return command not found  (dash)
[05:44] <andresj> oh i see... :)
[05:45] <Agent_bob> andresj you do have a valid point though.  bash should have said permission denied  so it's probably in the ./Desktop/ dir rather than ./
[05:46] <Agent_bob> nibbe   1. make it executable.   2. call it with the correct path.
[05:47] <Agent_bob> andresj do note.  "<nibbe> cannot execute binary file"   would assume correct path.
[05:47] <andresj> I like better the process of 1. ``chmod +x myfile.bin`` 2. double click
[05:48] <Jucato> hm... how do you double click in the terminal? :)
[05:48] <andresj> Jucato: you don't, you use Dolphin :)
[05:48] <Agent_bob> why chmod when you can right click    in your example?
[05:48] <andresj> Agent_bob: because it's longer
[05:48] <Jucato> Agent_bob: exactlikey :)
[05:48] <Agent_bob> :)
[05:49] <andresj> I like my Dolphin with the konsole below, so I can take the shortest route possible
[05:49] <Agent_bob> btw calling with the correct path is done by dubble click as well as by /path/to/blah
[05:51] <nibbe> error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[05:52] <andresj> nibbe, maybe the .bin is faulty, or maybe you need to install 'build-essentials'
[05:52] <nibbe> I got build-essentials

[05:54] <Agent_bob> if it needs development libraries   libstdc++5-3.3-dev and libstdc++6-dev are avalable in dapper   you can check your package cache for your release
[05:55] <nibbe> Works now. thanks
[05:56] <Agent_bob> when something like that comes up,  search either by the pointy clicky thingy or cli  apt-cache search *
[05:56] <surgy> im having sound problems, when i try to start a game it is having problems receiving input out put from the sound driver, but my driver is installe dproperly becuase i here the kde sound when my computer logs me in
[05:57] <Agent_bob> can you set the game to use "arts" ?
[05:57] <surgy> ------- sound initialization -------
[05:57] <surgy> /dev/dsp: Input/output error
[05:57] <surgy> Could not mmap /dev/dsp
[05:57] <surgy> ------------------------------------
[05:57] <Agent_bob> if not you'll probably have to kill arts and run your game then restart arts
[05:57] <Demonho-br> hello all
[05:57] <Agent_bob> !info arts
[05:57] <ubotu> arts: sound system from the official KDE release. In component main, is optional. Version 1.5.8-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 5 kB, installed size 36 kB
[05:58] <Demonho-br> Im trying to enable the transparancy on my panel.. but when i do it, minimized windows appear without colour.. i cant see these windows right.. what could i do to solv it ?
[05:59] <Agent_bob> surgy also possably "alsa" for it's output.
[05:59] <Demonho-br> i tried custon colours for inactivity windows, but.. if i choose black for example.. it works , but when i put my mouse on these windows everything turn blac
[05:59] <Demonho-br> black*
[06:00] <surgy> Agent_bob: so what should i do? should i disabble alsa and renable it? cuase i just rebooted and it didnt fix it
[06:00] <Agent_bob> surgy of course rebooting didn't fix it.  this is not windows
[06:00] <surgy> Agent_bob: good point
[06:01] <Demonho-br> the window what im using appears with strong colour on the panel.. the mainbar. but i would like to set all window even its not in use to appear with strong colour..
[06:01] <Agent_bob> surgy and yes.  if the game can't be configured to use arts/alsa  then you'll have to kill the kde sound server
[06:01] <surgy> how?
[06:02] <Agent_bob> that's kindof version specific.   kde3* kmenu system settings sound   stop sound server
[06:02] <surgy> im running kubuntu 7.10
[06:02] <Demonho-br> im running kubuntu 7.10
[06:02] <Demonho-br> nobody knows my question ? :(
[06:03] <Agent_bob> Demonho-br not me
[06:03] <Agent_bob> surgy you can always do it the cli way   sudo killall -9 arts
[06:04] <Demonho-br> Agent_bob, =(
[06:04] <surgy> ok sound system is restarting
[06:04] <Agent_bob> of course that won't help you see how to restart it.
[06:04] <surgy> for the third time..... it keeps trying to restart
[06:04] <Agent_bob> you don't want to restart it.  you want to kill it.
[06:05] <Agent_bob> disable it
[06:05] <surgy> arts: no process killed
[06:05] <Agent_bob> yeah it's probably full path   check the process table   i'm not running a gui.
[06:06] <surgy> lol i whould if i knew how, im not new to kubuntu but never had the need for this stuff
[06:06] <Agent_bob> ps ax | less
[06:06] <Agent_bob> pstree
[06:06] <Agent_bob> ksysguard
[06:07] <Agent_bob> many ways.
[06:07] <Demonho-br> to me. nothing
[06:07] <Demonho-br> no way
[06:07] <Demonho-br> =\
[06:08] <surgy> umm nope not there
[06:08] <Agent_bob> no arts in the list...    did kde change it's sound server in kde4 ?
[06:08] <Agent_bob> or is that kde4 ?
[06:09] <surgy> yeah its kde4 and i didnt see arts
[06:09] <Agent_bob> ps ax | grep -v grep | grep arts
[06:09] <knic> when using kde alt+tab is strange, on my other laptop when I use alt+tab it goes to the last window I had focus, on this one it walks through all the windows, example if I used speedchrunch and alt tabed to konqueror a single alt tab should bring me back to speedchrunch, but it doesnt can someone tell me how to fix it
[06:10] <surgy>  5626 ?        S      0:01 /usr/bin/artsd -F 10 -S 4096 -s 60 -m artsmessage -c drkonqi -l 3 -f
[06:11] <Agent_bob> looks to me like it's running.
[06:11] <Jucato> knic: where does it bring you?
[06:11] <Agent_bob> sudo killall -9 /usr/bin/artsd
[06:11] <surgy> ok its dead
[06:12] <Agent_bob> you can restart it when you are ready for it, the way you were restarting it.
[06:12] <Agent_bob> until then enjoy the game.
[06:13] <surgy> nope no sound
[06:13] <surgy> or should i restart arts and then test?
[06:13] <knic> Jucato: it throws all the apps in one giant circle and just traverses them no matter what was the last window I used before the current one
[06:14] <Agent_bob> surgy not if arts is killed.   it should have freed up /dev/dsp
[06:14] <Jucato> knic: um.. using Compiz?
[06:14] <Agent_bob> fuser /dev/dsp    maybe
[06:14] <surgy> Agent_bob: no it still doesnt have sound let me run the game through terminal and see what it outputs about sound
[06:15] <surgy> ------- sound initialization -------
[06:15] <surgy> /dev/dsp: Input/output error
[06:15] <surgy> Could not mmap /dev/dsp
[06:15] <surgy> ------------------------------------
[06:15] <Agent_bob> mmap    hmmm
[06:16] <Thecks> grep cores /proc/cpuinfo
[06:16] <Thecks> gives
[06:16] <Thecks> 2
[06:16] <Thecks> 2
[06:16] <Thecks> That means, 2 CPUs each with 2 cores right?
[06:16] <surgy> nope
[06:16] <surgy> outputs nothing
[06:16] <surgy> i have a single core amd athlon 64 3200
[06:17] <Agent_bob> surgy test this.    cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp      should be white noise   if not the issues is with the sound device..    ctrl+C  to kill it
[06:17] <surgy> yep white noise
[06:17] <Agent_bob> then the issue is with the game.  nothing wrong with your system
[06:17] <surgy> ok
[06:18] <surgy> im thinking a permisions problem, the game doesnt have permission to access the device
[06:18] <Agent_bob> sudo chmod 777 /dev/dsp
[06:19] <surgy> done
[06:19] <Agent_bob>   ^ btw that will not last past a reboot.
[06:19] <surgy> ------- sound initialization -------
[06:19] <surgy> /dev/dsp: Input/output error
[06:19] <surgy> Could not mmap /dev/dsp
[06:19] <surgy> ------------------------------------
[06:19] <surgy> same problem
[06:19] <surgy> let me reinstall
[06:19] <Agent_bob> yeah the game is hosed.
[06:20] <Agent_bob> game may be looking for "mmap" that it doesn't provide.   idk i'm not a C monkey
[06:21] <surgy> reinstalled still no sound
[06:22] <surgy> oh well ill look it up
[06:25] <knic> Jucato: no I am just using synergy
[06:25] <knic> Jucato: I meant I am just using kwin
[06:28] <surgy> Agent_bob: fixed it with this command: echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
[06:28] <Agent_bob> ah using the oss driver.  of course
[06:29]  * Agent_bob slaps fore head
[06:29] <surgy> lol
[06:29] <surgy> works now, thnx for your efforts
[06:29] <Agent_bob> welcome.
[06:30] <fizzz> need help installing firefox in linux
[06:30] <Agent_bob> surgy you should probably file a bug report with the game on that.   they will fix it if enough people complain about it.
[06:30] <andresj> fizzz, ``apt-get install firefox``
[06:30] <Agent_bob> sudo that even ^
[06:31] <fizzz> ok what should i type when that gets done
[06:31] <Agent_bob> nothing
[06:32] <Agent_bob> it should add an itom in kmenu networking

[06:54] <Agent_bob> does mv use hard links by default ?
[06:55] <ubuntu> hello all.. i want ubuntu on a usb drive... is there a version out there  like puppy or dsl?
[06:55] <Tm_T> Agent_bob: no, it's move
=== ubuntu is now known as ubuntu2
=== ubuntu2 is now known as ubun2
[06:55] <dhq> i have a 0b:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61)    it doesnt work on linux
[06:55] <Agent_bob> Tm_T yes. and it doesn't use hardly any io if it's on the same fs   so is it making a hardlink and then rm'ing the origenal ?
[06:56] <Tm_T> Agent_bob: IIRC it just change "link", no rm involved
[06:56] <Tm_T> Agent_bob: but you might like to consult ##linux in this matter
[06:56] <Agent_bob> hmmmm.
[06:57] <Agent_bob> yeah.  thanks.
[06:57] <Tm_T> np
[06:57] <Tm_T> sorry I don't know anything for sure about that
[06:58] <ubun2> is there a version of ubuntu that boots from usb?

[07:02] <Agent_bob> ahq and i'm not the guy to ask about network issues.  but i have seen that problem in here many times.  there is surely a wiki on it
=== Rikku is now known as Tidus
[07:13] <Agent_bob> note at ubotu, that link http://tinyurl.com/3exghs  says "sudo chmod `whoami`:`whoami`"  <<< which must either be a syntax error or a foolishness.
[07:14] <Tm_T> Agent_bob: hm?
[07:14] <blizzzek> hi
[07:17] <Agent_bob> Tm_T the instructions for booting an install iso from a linux installation in the ubotu call "!install"  has an obvious error,  namely  " sudo chmod `whoami`:`whoami` "
[07:17] <Tm_T> mmmh
[07:18] <Tm_T> Agent_bob: it should be "ok"
[07:18] <Tm_T> Agent_bob: what's the problem in it?
[07:18] <Agent_bob> the command is a do nothing command.
[07:18] <Agent_bob> same as   :
[07:18] <Agent_bob> except it returns an error and  :  doesn't
[07:19] <Tm_T> mmm
[07:19] <Tm_T> meh
[07:19] <Agent_bob> the windows portion of that instructions should probably work with most distros   i'm not sure about ubuntu tho
[07:20] <Agent_bob> not sure that the live iso will prompt for the path if it's not on a cd
[07:23] <Agent_bob> and the spelling nazi corrects a good post on that thread too    oh well.
[07:23] <Tm_T> Agent_bob: whatta?

[07:30] <phimic> hi all
[07:31] <phimic> i use kubutu gusty and want like to upgrade my kde 3.5.8 to kde4
[07:31] <phimic> ist there a good howto
[07:31] <Agent_bob> !kde4
[07:31] <ubotu> KDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/ - Support in #kubuntu-kde4
[07:33] <Tm_T> phimic: you won't upgrade to, you will use them side by side
[07:33] <Tm_T> phimic: more on links in that factoid and in topic
[07:34] <phimic> Tm_T: what means side-by-side? i dont want left a old kde installed
[07:35] <Tm_T> phimic: you do
[07:35] <phimic> Tm_T: so no workaround to upgrade to kde4
[07:35] <dak> whats with kde4base-data ?
[07:35] <Tm_T> phimic: anyway, install KDE4, use it a while, then remove what you don't need, whetever its KDE4 or some else
[07:35] <dak> just behind ?
[07:36] <Tm_T> phimic: there is, just install new and remove old, but, use them together first, to be sure you want it to be removed
[07:37] <phimic> Tm_T: ok thanks, did u checkout kde4?
[07:37] <Tm_T> phimic: whois me
[07:38] <phimic> Tm_T: :)
[07:47] <MaskedOne> Yay finally resolved all my Kubuntu 7.10 problems :D
[07:47] <Tm_T> Agent_bob: root?
[07:48] <MaskedOne> Any interesting problems here tonight?
[07:48] <miegamice> MaskedOne: I cannot mount my hdd, with winxp on it
[07:48] <Tm_T> MaskedOne: yes, my feets are cold
[07:50] <Agent_bob> miegamice pastebin the output of#    sudo fdisk -l ;mount ;cat /etc/fstab
[07:50] <MaskedOne> lol Tm_T
[07:51] <MaskedOne> miegamice: Can you see your WinXP HD listed in Konqueror?
[07:51] <MaskedOne> or does Linux not see it at all?
[07:52] <miegamice> MaskedOne: I'm not connected my hdd now...
[07:52] <miegamice> I need to go to school now...
[07:52] <MaskedOne> ah ok
[07:53] <Agent_bob> oh he was just babling...
[07:53] <dak> anyone know url that shows world wide repositorys ?
[07:53] <MaskedOne> lol ok
[07:53] <Agent_bob> as Tm_T says   !ot | miegamice
[07:53] <MaskedOne> nope not a clue dak
[07:55] <dak> wish it was like deb just on the main page
[08:01] <Agent_bob> what is /var/log/wtmp for ?
[08:05] <Agent_bob> and it seems just a little bit odd having a system that doesn't show a runlevel nor anyone logged in...
[08:08] <Lynoure> Agent_bob: hmm? Does not show a runlevel?  What does  runlevel  tell you then?
[08:08] <Agent_bob> hmmm and if i do  apt-get remove login   it wants to install  libssl0.9.7
[08:08] <Agent_bob> Lynoure runlevel tells me nothing     runlevel
[08:08] <Agent_bob> unknown
[08:09] <Lynoure> Agent_bob: you have some deeply customized Kubuntu installation? :)
[08:09] <Agent_bob> yes i already know that.
[08:09] <Lynoure> I did not, that's why I asked.
[08:09] <Agent_bob> i wrote the sysv init system.
[08:09] <fizzz> anybody know what i need to unrar stuff in linux >
[08:09] <fizzz> >?
[08:10] <Agent_bob> i'm actually in runlevel nine right now.
[08:10] <Agent_bob> !rar
[08:10] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[08:11] <Agent_bob> !info unrar-free | fizzz
[08:11] <ubotu> fizzz: unrar-free: Unarchiver for .rar files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.0.1+cvs20070515-1 (gutsy), package size 40 kB, installed size 124 kB
[08:11] <fizzz> yall got the apt get link for htat ??
[08:12] <Agent_bob> :)    sudo apt-get install unrar-free
[08:12] <Agent_bob> can i also set it up for you ?
[08:12] <vge> you need also to open a konsole!
[08:12] <vzduch> I'm looking for clues as to why my SAM4 won't connect to my local MySQL server when I start it in wine
[08:13] <fizzz> thankz bob
[08:13] <Agent_bob> np fizzz
[08:13] <Agent_bob> vzduch wine is tricky that way.     or in other words i have no clue.
[08:15] <Agent_bob> but one issue could be the differance in \/ win -vs- linux     idk.
[08:17] <buz> i'm having issues with my dvd burner on gutsy. it used to burn 16x just fine (on the same media i'm using now) but now it fluctuates between 2 and 8x all the time
[08:17] <Agent_bob> ERROR   Err http://archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/main Packages
[08:17] <Agent_bob>   Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
[08:18] <Agent_bob> from apt-get update    seems an dapper package database is hosed
[08:20] <Agent_bob> heavy io traffic buz ?
[08:21] <ardchoille> Agent_bob: That sources line doesn't look right to me. Would you mind pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list?
[08:21] <ardchoille> !paste | Agent_bob
[08:21] <ubotu> Agent_bob: 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)
[08:23] <Agent_bob> ardchoille it's not the source.  i rm'd the partial and reran apt-get update    it wourked ok    i guess that i just caught the server at a bad time and only got a partial file
[08:23] <Agent_bob> i can still pastebin my sources.list if you want
[08:24] <Agent_bob> http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d55ffac2e
[08:24] <ardchoille> Agent_bob: Nah, if you fixed it, then it's fine :)
[08:25] <Agent_bob> yeah i got it working.   but changed nothing on my end.   so it had to be a server hic-up
[08:25] <ardchoille> Yeah, that happens now and then
[08:25] <Montyous_> why linux is more famous than bsd as a server os, despite bsd is more secure and stable that linux?
[08:26] <Tm_T> Montyous_: sure?
[08:26] <Montyous_> ya
[08:26] <Tm_T> Montyous_: ok
[08:26] <Montyous_> so?
[08:27] <Tm_T> Montyous_: sorry, but this is Kubuntu support channel :)
[08:27] <Tm_T> if you have any support questions at hand, we are glad to help
[08:27] <Montyous_> kubuntu is based on linux
[08:27] <Tm_T> yes
[08:28] <Agent_bob> kubuntu is a GNU/Linux distrobution
[08:28] <Montyous_> ya
[08:28] <Tm_T> Agent_bob: thanks, I'll have her
[08:28] <Agent_bob> linux is the kernel  the rest is GNU
[08:28] <Montyous_> then my question is relavent
[08:28] <Tm_T> Montyous_: yes, but it isn't support question ;)
[08:29] <ardchoille> Montyous_: That's not really a support question. How does the answer to that question fix an issue on your system?
[08:29] <Montyous_> ic
[08:29] <Jucato> Montyous_: this channel is for Kubuntu support questions. questions about how to run Kubuntu, how to manage your Kubuntu system etc. Not about Linux vs BSD

[08:40] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[08:40] <Agent_bob> Roy_M i'm lagging pretty bad so my responce will be slow.    sudo fdisk -l    or   cat /proc/partitions    and the gui has some tools as well
[08:41] <Jucato> Roy_M: if they are mounted, you can use "df -h" to check. if not mounted, I think the Disks & Filesystems in System Settings Advanced tab gives the disk space too
[08:41] <Jucato> (can't be sure)
[08:42] <Agent_bob> Jucato df will give fs size  not disk size   unless you format whole disks   (i'm probably the only one that does that)
[08:42] <Jucato> oh yeah.. right...
[08:43] <Roy_M> thanks Agent_bob and Jucato
[08:44] <Agent_bob> Roy_M along with Jucato's "Disks & Filesystems"  qtparted/gparted    would also be a gui tool that could do that.
[08:45] <Agent_bob> there are probably others too
[08:46] <Roy_M> Agent_bob: Sure, giving qtparted a go becuase gparted never finishes "scanning disks"
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> hey all
[08:47] <Agent_bob> Roy_M hmmm then qtparted may not either.   they are both frontends to parted  afik
[08:47] <Roy_M> yeah thats what i thought  but qtparted has detected my disks and seems fine :/
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> wassup guys?
[08:48] <Agent_bob> k  good.    Roy_M fdisk is on almost all linux installs  so the cli way    sudo fdisk -l     is a quick lister  ;/
[08:49] <Agent_bob> handy to remember it.  with or with out the sudo...
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> without to list only
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> with to make changes
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> i think you have to use fdisk -x to play with partitions
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> -x = extended mode
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> real quick question guys. Is anyone running kde4?
[08:51] <Tm_T> ActionParsnip: quick answer, yes
[08:51] <Agent_bob> ActionParsnip some system have default permissions set so that without sudo fdisk wont list anything
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> Tm_T, is it worth getting?
[08:51] <Tm_T> ActionParsnip: for some it is, for some it aint
[08:52] <Agent_bob> sudo fdisk -l | grep Disk     # ta da
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> Tm_T, ok, to you personally
[08:52] <Tm_T> it's ok, but only in side of KDE3 on my use, though, I'm not "an average joe"
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> Tm_T, I'm very average joe. My system = aMSN / Firefox / OpenOffice
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> Tm_T, and Amarok
[08:53] <Tm_T> ActionParsnip: then its fine, at most

[08:54] <jono> hey Tm_T
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> Tm_T, yeah its my next project when i get the inclination
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> Tm_T, when i get in from work I cant be bothered with PCs as I'm on them all day
[08:55]  * Tm_T isn't with pcs, they're just tools (for work and fun)
[08:55] <Tm_T> ActionParsnip: anyway, perhaps #kubuntu-offtopic suits better for this kind of conversation

[09:10] <patrick_> Hallo! I have a folder with 300 jpgs. They should all be converted black and white. Is there a automatic way. (opening everyone in gimp is quite timeconsuming ;) ). Does anyone have a good suggestion?
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> !convert | patrick
[09:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about convert - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> patrick_, http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_convert.htm
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> patrick_, convert is the way
[09:11] <Jucato> convert is from imagemagick (iirc)
=== u^A is now known as u^A_
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> patrick_, convert -monochrome *.jpg
[09:12] <intelikey> there is a tool.   i can't think of the mane of it right now.     an convert may be.   but that's not the one i had in mind.
[09:13] <intelikey> ActionParsnip if the command line arg is not too long that way.   may need to    for Q in *.jpg ;do convert -monochrome "$Q" ;done
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> slanier, usb headset? Doesnt it just plug into your soundcards output?
[09:13] <slanier> no
[09:14] <slanier> a usb headset, has its own sound card built in
[09:14] <slanier> skype headset
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> intelikey, I've always just wildcarded :)
[09:14] <patrick_> thanks for the input, I'll give it a try
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> slanier, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-311473.html
[09:15] <intelikey> ActionParsnip yeah   but if there are enough files in one dir you may run into command line arg lingth limits on some apps.
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> slanier, did you google an answer yourself before asking?
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> intelikey, I don't understand
[09:15] <slanier> ahh thank you very much :D
[09:15] <slanier> hopefully this works
[09:16] <intelikey> ActionParsnip in simple terms if there are too many files only the first X many will be affected. and the rest ignored.   using a loop will solve that
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> intelikey, why is there a limit? Does the * get replaced with the file list on the command line, then executed?
[09:17] <slanier> okay this is a guide on how to get it to work with skype...hes the thing, the headset will work with skype..I just cant get it to work anywhere else. It defaults to system speakers
[09:17] <slanier> and i dont know how to change that
[09:17] <intelikey> yes
[09:17] <intelikey> ActionParsnip it's the shell that expands the wildcard
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> intelikey, i see, cheers for the info dude
[09:18] <intelikey> anytime
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> slanier, you may need to change the config in your apps
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> slanier, or do you want the usb to be your systemwide sound device all the time
[09:19] <slanier> well it would be nice to be able to switch back and forth...but knowing how to switch it would be nice
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> slanier, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283350

[09:21] <ActionParsnip> slanier, np man
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> easiest way is to get a standard headset. when yo want to use speakers, pull out the headphones
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2006/06/sennheiserm1451.jpg What is the point :(
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> How can I find out my default sound device?
[09:42] <intelikey> ActionParsnip maybe cat /proc/asound/cards   ?
[09:42] <intelikey> not sure if that will like the default or not.  i only have one.
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> intelikey, cheers man :) i'llhave a play
[09:45] <intelikey> ActionParsnip there are several files in /proc/asound you might look around there    also    alsactl   and alsamixer    are useful tools.

[11:18] <ubuntu_> what is so good that it is better than windows
[11:19] <nuxil> its free and open source
[11:19] <ubuntu_> i dont like the theme but it is faster
[11:19] <ubuntu_> can you play games on it
[11:19] <ubuntu_> :) like call of duty 4
[11:19] <SlimeyPe1e> the main advantages are that it's free (in both senses), you can get lots of free apps for it, and it's got a proper package manager
[11:19] <ubuntu_> or something like that
[11:20] <nuxil> you dont have to buy antivirus anymore :)
[11:20] <nuxil> ubuntu_, maybe with wine if you got a good high end pc
[11:20] <ubuntu_> thats great , ps i didnt buyt that
[11:20] <SlimeyPe1e> You can use Wine to play Windows games, ubuntu_, but it doesn't always work.
[11:20] <ubuntu_> ow ok

[11:23] <apparle> how to install KDE 4. I don't have net on the kubuntu PC. Which packages to download
[11:23] <grul> ubuntu_, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10429
[11:23] <SlimeyPe1e> ubuntu_: ubuntu and kubuntu are basically the same, they just look different and have different apps installed by default.
[11:23] <nuxil> !kde4 | apparle
[11:23] <ubotu> apparle: KDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/ - Support in #kubuntu-kde4
[11:23] <SlimeyPe1e> ubuntu_: everything which works on kubuntu also works on ubuntu
[11:24] <ubuntu_> k
[11:24] <ubuntu_> but are the games with the install?
[11:24] <ubuntu_> i run it now from the dvd
[11:24] <nuxil> ubuntu_, only diff from kubuntu and ubuntu is the desktop same goes for the rest of Xubunuts
[11:25] <ubuntu_> nice
[11:25] <ubuntu_> :)
[11:25] <SlimeyPe1e> ubuntu_: for commercial games you need the game CD. Some basic free games are included in the install - stuff like Solitaire and so forth.
[11:26] <ubuntu_> and can you run deamon tools on kubuntu?
[11:26] <nuxil> you dont need tp
[11:26] <stf> ubuntu_: no, but Linux has this functionality built-in
[11:26] <ubuntu_> oke :)
[11:26] <ubuntu_> its great to have this on notebook
[11:28] <SlimeyPe1e> ubuntu_: check out Adept (K -> System -> Adept Package Manager). It will give you a list of things which you can install. You can use Adept to download & install them automatically.

[11:50] <SSJ_GZ> appelza: echo "one two three" strips off the quotes.

[11:59] <Brujah> thanx. thats what I have been looking for.
[11:59] <stf> basse: -> #kubuntu-kde4 but I don't think it's possible. I think you need to run the whole systemsettings as root currently.

[12:55] <Wizard> i'm looking for some good article on system tweaking :)
[12:55] <ubotu> PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
[13:00] <juan> ooo some1 talking about PPC? does the ubuntu kernel have hotplugability goodness in it?
[13:01] <Jucato> Ubuntu no longer officially supports PPC

[13:16] <Chin1> need help please
[13:16] <Chin1> any 1 here?
[13:16] <appelza> ask dont ask to ask
[13:17] <Chin1> i've been trying to install the driver for my nvidia card m7950 GTX
[13:17] <Chin1> the synaptic is not working
[13:18] <Chin1> and i went to envidia, downloaded the driver, to install it manually but the terminal is telling me to disable the X
[13:19] <zorglu_> !ipv6
[13:19] <ubotu> To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[13:19] <Chin1> how can i disable the X, so i can install the driver manually... or better, how can i make the sync to work properly?
[13:20] <stdin> !x | Chin1
[13:20] <ubotu> Chin1: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[13:20] <stdin> replace "restart" with "stop" to stop it
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> Chin1, sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
[13:21] <Chin1> great. Thanks a lot guys... really appreciate your help.
[13:22] <Chin1> one more thing, is there anyway to make the sync work properly?
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> Chin1, how do you mean?
[13:22] <Chin1> i mean, i see some nvidia packages to be install, I installed but the don't fix my resolution??? neither upgrade my video drivers...!!!
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> Chin1, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[13:23] <Chin1> that should upgrade my driver?
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> Chin1, that will allow you to reconfigure your x server so that you can enable graphical resolutions
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> Chin1, you will need to install the driver first though
[13:26] <Chin1> ok. so after i install the driver, i should run the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg... right?
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> Chin1, yes
[13:28] <Chin1> thanks a lot man... i spend 5 days looking just for this...!!!
[13:28] <Chin1> have a good 1...

[15:52] <jussi01> Mason059: #kubuntu-kde4 ;)
[15:52] <Mason059> OK...on freenode?

[15:53] <larsemil> i have a problem - i cant lock my screen - i get an error saying no greeter plugin configured
[15:54] <larsemil> how do i install a greeter plugin?
[15:55] <nibbe> Is there anything I can do to increase the sound quality? When playing music the quality is like if it's recorded with a mobile phone from speakers.
[15:55] <jussi01> !sound
[15:55] <michaelnovakjr> nibbe: what are you using for audio?
[15:55] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[15:55] <nibbe> michaelnovakjr: I tried both amarok and kaffeine. Both had the same quality
[15:56] <michaelnovakjr> nibbe: did you check your kmix settings?
[15:56] <nibbe> never heard of kmix
[15:57] <michaelnovakjr> nibbe: that could be why.... kmix is like the sound settings for kubuntu
[15:57] <nibbe> looking into it now
[15:57] <michaelnovakjr> nibbe: its under the multimedia menu in the k menu
[15:57] <nibbe> Yeah, im looking at Kmix right now
[15:57] <michaelnovakjr> nibbe: ok, PCM is a good place to start
[15:58] <larsemil> ok i guess the kubuntu livecd with kde4 is broken then
[15:58] <michaelnovakjr> larsemil: it is not a final release as of yet.... its a stab in the dark
[15:59] <larsemil> michaelnovakjr: yeah, but hey - you know anything about how to install a greeter plugin?
[15:59] <nibbe> Fix'd now. Thanks :-)
[15:59] <michaelnovakjr> nibbe: no problem.
[15:59] <michaelnovakjr> larsemil: what version of kubuntu are you running?
[15:59] <larsemil> michaelnovakjr: just installed from the kde4 live cd thats on the mainpage of kubuntu
[16:01] <michaelnovakjr> larsemil: that could be a bug in KDE4 or in the Kubuntu code that works with KDE4
[16:01] <michaelnovakjr> larsemil: were you running KDE3 before this?
[16:01] <larsemil> michaelnovakjr: no. never used kde before.
[16:02] <jussi01> larsemil: try in #kubuntu-kde4  ;)
[16:03] <michaelnovakjr> larsemil: that is an idea, or just use the stable release of KDE... its really an excellent choice
[16:03] <larsemil> no then i will go for ubuntu. dont like kde3 at all. but kde4 is sooo goodlooking
[16:03] <michaelnovakjr> larsemil: good luck!
[16:06] <crackhead_25_> what's the console command to access a cd drive -- and clean/erase the data etc..??
[16:07] <michaelnovakjr> crackhead_25_: the cd drive is usually /dev/cdrom
[16:07] <michaelnovakjr> crackhead_25_: it mounts to /mnt/cdrom
=== dios is now known as Dios[RU]
[16:08] <crackhead_25_> ok... so, what? i just do rmdir or rm -a or something on that directory??
[16:09] <SlimeyPe1e> /media/cdrom
[16:09] <ardchoille> crackhead_25_: Is it a CD-R/RW? If not, then it is a finalised file system - you can't "erase" the data.
[16:09] <SlimeyPe1e> not /mnt
[16:09] <michaelnovakjr> SlimeyPele: ah yes, ::unix moment::
[16:09] <crackhead_25_> cdr-rw of course
[16:09] <crackhead_25_> i'm not an idiot :)
[16:10] <SlimeyPe1e> michaelnovakjr: :) Debian and some other Linuxes use /mnt IIRC.
[16:10] <michaelnovakjr> interesting
[16:10] <SlimeyPe1e> crackhead_25_: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-166487.html
[16:10] <michaelnovakjr> SlimeyPele: i use sun machines for certain things... /mnt comes to me quicker
=== jason_ is now known as jckl
[16:15] <crackhead_25_> thanks slimey.. also, if i'm not seeing /mnt/cdrom.. would you know why that is?
[16:15] <SlimeyPe1e> crackhead_25_: it's /media/cdrom
[16:15] <crackhead_25_> ahhh
[16:16] <SlimeyPe1e> some other linux distros, and all the old-style Unixes, use /mnt so michaelnovakjr got confused.
[16:16] <michaelnovakjr> my fault... kubuntu uses media for devices
[16:16] <jckl> anyone happen to know the options/changes i need to make in alsa to make my speakers mute when i plug in my headphones on a compaq laptop?
[16:16] <baligh> Hello
[16:16] <SlimeyPe1e> hi.
[16:17] <baligh> i'm new in kubuntu and linux world
[16:17] <SlimeyPe1e> welcome :)
[16:17] <ardchoille> baligh: Welcome :)
[16:17] <baligh> can anyone help me to install lazarus compiler
[16:18] <baligh> it's a free crossplatform pascal compiler
[16:18] <SlimeyPe1e> You mean the Pascal thingamebob?
[16:18]  * Jucato ubotu find lazarus
[16:18] <baligh> yep
[16:18] <ardchoille> baligh: sudo apt-get install lazarus
[16:18] <SlimeyPe1e> Should be easy. Open Adept (K -> System -> Adept PAckage Manager)
[16:18] <ubuntu_> rolf mayo
[16:18] <SlimeyPe1e> then just tell Adept to install Lazarus
[16:18] <crackhead_25_> slimey.. it won't work.. i try cdrecord on the /dev/hdd.. which is supposedly the only viewable/accessible target cd drive.. though it doesn't show the second cd drive in my box, which has the actual cd in it.. you know why this might be?
[16:19] <SlimeyPe1e> yeah, or use apt-get like ardchoille said
[16:19] <Jucato> !info lazarus
[16:19] <ubotu> lazarus: Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool for Free Pascal. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.22-1 (gutsy), package size 35749 kB, installed size 151628 kB (Only available for i386 powerpc sparc amd64)
[16:19] <jckl> isnt aptitude better than apt-get?
[16:19] <trpr> they do the same thing. its your choice
[16:19] <ardchoille> jckl: It's personal preference really
[16:19] <SlimeyPe1e> crackhead_25_: /dev/cdrom doesn't work?
[16:20] <baligh> tryin'
[16:20] <crackhead_25_> no, says error..
[16:20] <jckl> ok
[16:20] <SlimeyPe1e> jckl: it's cleverer, but both tend to work
[16:20] <crackhead_25_> i'm too tired to figure it out right now, though.. slimey, if you're around later, i'll retry..
[16:20] <jckl> i thought i read that aptitude was better for dependancies when removal
[16:20] <SlimeyPe1e> crackhead_25_: I idle in here all the time, but I'm not always looking at my PC.
[16:20] <crackhead_25_> ardchoille: do you have an opinion on if kubuntu is the fastest distro out there, or if and what if any are faster out of the box with least setup (but some ease of setup)??
[16:20] <SlimeyPe1e> but feel free to poke me
[16:21] <ardchoille> jckl: That used to be the case, but apt-get has the _auto-remove option now that does pretty much the same thing
[16:21] <jckl> aw ok
[16:21] <jckl> how would i check my alsa version
[16:22] <jckl> i want to see if there is a newer version to see if it will fix my headphones and speakers
[16:22] <ardchoille> crackhead_25_: That would really be a personal opinion and somewhat dependent on the hardware and other apps/services you have installed.
[16:23] <SlimeyPe1e> jckl: alsactl --version will show the version of alsactl, and I think that ties in with the alsa version
[16:24] <michaelnovakjr> crackhead_25_: what do you use linux for? casual or work related?
[16:24] <jckl> hmm ok thx
[16:25] <crackhead_25_> michaelnovakjr: both.. desktop productivity.. basically it's my only computer.. i just want it to be as fast and stable and efficient and indestructible as possible..
[16:25] <crackhead_25_> firefox keeps crashing now and then on kubuntu.. so does kopete.. and ktorrent.. and the X engine whenever it restarts seems to eff up.. and the mouse cursor disappears.. or the screen saver doesn't lock when it comes on (even though it's set to..) .. or when i try to sign in with a second guest account, while the first is on, the system crashes..
[16:26] <tlmarker> Will not installing nVidia drivers with a nVidia card cause KDE to crash?
[16:26] <baligh> which one is better ubuntu or kubuntu
[16:26] <muesli__> tlmarker: no
[16:26] <ardchoille> !ot
[16:26] <muesli__> baligh: which one is better mercedes or bmw?
[16:26] <ubotu> #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!
[16:26] <SlimeyPe1e> tlmarker: shouldn't do.
[16:27] <baligh> mercedes
[16:27] <SlimeyPe1e> but X might crash if the default nv driver doesn't support your card.
[16:27] <baligh> i can answer it
[16:27] <baligh> can u?
[16:27] <muesli__> baligh: since i prefer bmw and i use kubuntu i suggest you go with ubuntu then
[16:27] <muesli__> ;-)
[16:27] <jckl> isnt ubuntu and kubuntu pretty much the same with a different gui environament
[16:27] <baligh> lol
[16:27] <SlimeyPe1e> jckl: that's correct
[16:27] <jckl> i actually have both kde and gnome on here
[16:27] <SlimeyPe1e> different default apps too
[16:27] <baligh> i prefer kubuntu
[16:28] <jckl> my gnome apps work in kde as my kde work in gnome :)
[16:28] <muesli__> baligh: you should really go and checkout bmw then ;-)
[16:28] <tlmarker> is there a place to find what card the default driver supports?
[16:28] <jckl> it seems you guys get a lot of questions that depend on personal preference.
[16:28] <jckl> :)
[16:28] <crackhead_25_> michaelnovakjr: any opinion? feedback??
[16:28] <michaelnovakjr> nVidia drivers are a good thing to install
[16:29] <ardchoille> jckl: Well, most apps are personal preference. That which works for me may not suit your needs :)
[16:29] <muesli__> tlmarker: the "default" driver is probably vesa and should pretty much support anything  that's ever been out
[16:29] <michaelnovakjr> crackhead_25_: i am a fan of kubuntu, i tried openSuse again with 10.3 and hated it
[16:29] <michaelnovakjr> tlmarker: look in the restricted drivers section for the nvidia info
[16:29] <crackhead_25_> what about something gentoo based, like vector linux??
[16:30] <crackhead_25_> michaelnovakjr: can you pm me? this is off topic some..
[16:30] <SlimeyPe1e> muesli__: kubuntu will default to nv if it finds an nvidia card
[16:30] <SlimeyPe1e> tlmarker: what card do you have?
[16:30] <michaelnovakjr> SlimeyPele: it doesn't use it though
[16:30] <crackhead_25_> michaelnovakjr: how do i register my user??
[16:30] <muesli__> SlimeyPe1e: oh interesting. it didn't seem to do with 2 nvidia cards tho
[16:30] <crackhead_25_> (it doenst let me?? )
[16:31] <SlimeyPe1e> muesli__: oh right, well... AFAIK it *should* ;)
[16:31] <michaelnovakjr> crackhead_25_: on irc?
[16:31] <michaelnovakjr> you have to activate the nvidia drivers under restricted drivers, because they are closed-source
[16:32] <michaelnovakjr> it is recommended though, nVidia drivers will support more features specific to your needs
[16:34] <tlmarker> gForce 6 series. I installed it on windows, and am not 100% sure.
[16:34] <michaelnovakjr> tlmarker: do you know where the restricted drivers are?
[16:36] <tlmarker> yes. i was able to install them on KDE3.5. My problem is that I installed KDE4 to try it out and for some reason X crashes when I am using it. I would assume that being the drivers worked on KDE3.x, then they should work on KDE4.
[16:37] <SlimeyPe1e> ah yes, they should, but kde4 tries to use compositing stuff that kde3 doesn't.
[16:37] <SlimeyPe1e> that might cause problems.
[16:37] <michaelnovakjr> i would go to the KDE4 channel with that
[16:38] <michaelnovakjr> try in #kubuntu-kde4  ;)
[16:38] <BluesKaj> tlmarker, aha, kde4 not the same at all ..none of my graphics heavy apps like google earth would run on kde4
[16:43] <baligh> sudo didn't succeed
[16:44] <baligh> i'm tryin' adept
[16:44] <sylvain-fr> nuxil: "re" (after many hours...)
[16:44] <sylvain-fr> nuxil: I can run kdesu now. Thanks :-)
[16:45] <toboh> hi, Im a newbie that has just installed kubuntu, and my sound does not work. Ive tried the HdaIntelSoundHowto but it still does not work
[16:45] <michaelnovakjr> toboh: make sure libaudio is installed.... under the package manager
[16:45] <toboh> ok, im gonna check it right now
[16:46] <ardchoille> !sound | toboh Have you seen this info?
[16:46] <ubotu> toboh Have you seen this info?: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[16:46] <SlimeyPe1e> toboh: ATI sound chipset?
[16:46] <tlmarker> BluesKaj: would you recomment using kde4?
[16:47] <michaelnovakjr> The audio could also be muted
[16:47]  * SlimeyPe1e does not recommend kde4, yet
[16:47] <michaelnovakjr> toboh: by default the audio could be muted, you can fix that by going into the KMix panel
[16:47] <toboh> its not muted, just a sec im searching for the  libaudio
[16:47] <michaelnovakjr> toboh: ok
[16:48] <michaelnovakjr> toboh: mine wasn't working, I installed libaudio and some mp3 packages and the audio was picked up
[16:49] <BluesKaj> tlmarker, IMHO kde4 is not ready for prime time ...not on my setup at least :(
=== jason_ is now known as jckl
=== _nuu is now known as nuu
[16:49]  * SlimeyPe1e has an ATI HDA sound chipset and it isn't supported by ALSA in Gutsy
[16:50] <toboh> michael, im trying to search the libaudio (with exactly this name) at the kde package manager but I cant find it
[16:50] <jckl> i was able to fix my headphone/speaker problem with options snd-hda-intel model=laptop :)
[16:50] <BluesKaj> SlimeyPe1e, the ati sound card chips are supported by alsa .
[16:50] <SlimeyPe1e> BluesKaj: indeed, but not this one it would seem.
[16:50] <ardchoille> toboh: libaudio2 (I'm on Gutsy)
[16:50] <baligh> muesli__ how's u(r bmw
[16:50] <BluesKaj> alsa and kmix have to be configged is all ..it's aPITA but it can be done
[16:50] <toboh> ok, Ive got the newest version
[16:51] <toboh> just check it with aptitude
[16:51] <SlimeyPe1e> I've googled till my fingers went blue, and fiddled with various alsa options. None of the recommendations worked, for me.
[16:51] <jckl> what needs done in kmix
[16:51] <SlimeyPe1e> *shrug* not much of an issue, I don't really need sound anyway
=== muesli__ is now known as mueslix
[16:51] <jckl> hmm i have more stuff in kmix now

[16:52] <baligh> not mueslix
[16:52] <baligh> but kmueslix
[16:52] <toboh> by the way, the sound card (as far as I know) is a hda-intel, Intel Corporation 82801H ICH8 Family
[16:52] <toboh> is that really it?
[16:52] <ScorpKing> my nvidia card stopped working for no reason. i only get a blank screen. any ideas?
[16:52] <toboh> thats what alsaconf detects
[16:53] <BluesKaj> SlimeyPe1e, jckl open kmix and enable Master & PCM on the output tab , then CD & IEC playback (if listed) in the Input tab , next make sure Mix & IEC958 are enabled in the Switches tab , then click on Settings/Configure Kmix and apply
[16:53] <jckl> i looked it up
[16:53] <jckl> mine was a conexant
[16:53] <michaelnovakjr> toboh: the package is libaudio2
[16:53] <jckl> i looked up what i needed to use in an alsa file
[16:53] <SlimeyPe1e> BluesKaj: can't. No mixers found.
[16:53] <toboh> michaelnovakjr, its installed
[16:53] <SlimeyPe1e> ALSA is non-functioning.
[16:54] <ScorpKing> how do i reconfigure X ?
[16:55] <BluesKaj> SlimeyPe1e, ' cat /proc/asound/cards ' then ' asoundconf set-default-card "name of soundcard"
[16:55] <michaelnovakjr> toboh: do you have configs in KMix?
[16:55] <jckl> aplay -l will tell you your plaback hardware device
[16:55] <ardchoille> ScorpKing: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[16:55] <toboh> they disappear after I tried to follow the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[16:55] <crookshanks> there really needs to be a gtk or qt-based twitter app for linux
[16:55] <ScorpKing> thanks ardchoille
[16:55] <crookshanks> the only one out there is written using mono :(
[16:55] <BluesKaj> ScorpKing, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[16:56] <BluesKaj> oops
[16:56] <crookshanks> at least the only one in the ubuntu repository
[16:56] <toboh> and I can tell you more, the aplay -l, returns aplay: device_list:205: no soundcards found...

[16:56] <ardchoille> crookshanks: Oh, ok. thanks for that info :)
=== mathieu_ is now known as NamShub
[16:57] <toboh> i heard about this oss
[16:57] <toboh> is it possible to change to it?
[16:58] <michaelnovakjr> toboh: is linux-sound-base installed?
[16:58] <crookshanks> ardchoille: did some googling, found one called twitux.  guess i'll build it and try it out
[16:58] <BluesKaj> jckl, to find your soundcard : cat /proc/asound/cards
[16:58] <ardchoille> crookshanks: Cool
[16:59] <toboh> michaelnovakjr, yes it is
[16:59] <SlimeyPe1e> BluesKaj: doesn't work. I suspect that the problem is deeper down tbh.
[17:00] <michaelnovakjr> toboh: how about arts?
[17:00] <SlimeyPe1e> (asoundconf doesn't give any errors but it doesn't solve the problem)
[17:00] <toboh> michaelnovakjr, also installed
[17:00] <BluesKaj> SlimeyPe1e, do an lspci , and look for something like "sound controllers"
[17:00] <SlimeyPe1e> BluesKaj: It's an ATI 450.
[17:01] <michaelnovakjr> toboh: damn, I had the same problem too, whatever you do DONT uninstall alsa
[17:01] <SlimeyPe1e> it does appear in /proc/asound/cards correctly, but that's about it.
[17:01] <michaelnovakjr> toboh: it will kill your entire system
[17:01] <toboh> wow...
[17:01] <BluesKaj> SlimeyPe1e, then : asoundconf set-default-card "ATI 450"
[17:01] <MilitantPotato> In K3B what filesystem would be read in most devices? Joliet?
[17:01] <toboh> Ive just found out one bad thing
[17:02] <itsjustme> is there a camera review chat channel someone can advise me
[17:02] <toboh> ive looked at the list of alsa soundcards for intel and i cant find my chipset
[17:02] <toboh> ...
[17:02] <michaelnovakjr> toboh: alsa doesn't work well with integrated intel
[17:03] <jckl> what chipset toboh
[17:03] <toboh> ich8
[17:03] <toboh> intel hda ich8
[17:03] <ardchoille> itsjustme: Try searching google for "camera_model review", that help me to decie which one to buy. Also: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[17:03] <BluesKaj> SlimeyPe1e, toboh , to set up alsa on your system :  k-menu/system settings/sound system/enable sound system,then choose hardware tab/select the audio device/Advanced Linux Sound Architecture, click apply '
[17:03] <toboh> im searching now for some solution for that chip in google
[17:04] <itsjustme> I was hoping there would be a chatsite that I could learn from users and what there experiances were
[17:04] <toboh> BluesKaj, Ive already tried that
[17:04] <toboh> BluesKaj, Ive tried both the ALSA, OSS and automatic detec options
[17:06] <BluesKaj> toboh, have you set alsa in the terminal ?
[17:06] <jckl> what do you want to know about it toboh
[17:06] <toboh> well, Ive tried a lot of stuff =)
[17:06] <toboh> one of them was to set it in the terminal also
[17:06] <michaelnovakjr> toboh: what audio devices does it say you have installed?
[17:07] <cobb28> is now a bad time to install kubuntu 64bit?  Flash is a must have as well as a stable system.  Anyone have an opinion on this?

[17:07] <ubotu> cobb28: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[17:07] <BluesKaj> toboh, in the terminal type ' alsamixer ', make sure the Master, PCM, Line & CD are all unmuted ,by using the "M" key'

[17:09] <toboh> blues, gonna try it right now
[17:09] <jpatrick> toboh: for next time ;)
[17:09] <cobb28> ubotu: is that the only big issue currently? as opposed to a 32bit install? I;ve had bad luck with kubuntu in the past but would like to give it another try..currenlty using ubuntu with no issues but my new PC is coming ina few hours and I;d like ot do a fresh format
[17:09] <jpatrick> !bot > cobb28
[17:09] <BluesKaj> toboh, set the volume ctrls to about 71%
[17:09] <toboh> wow, alsamixer answered me  function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[17:10] <toboh> I think I have screwed up the mixer while trying to fix the sound
[17:11] <toboh> because after installing the newest version of the alsa, the sound options at kmix disappeared
[17:11] <toboh> notice that with the previous version of the alsa the sound was not working neither
[17:11] <BluesKaj> toboh, then you have to tell alsa what soundcard to use by : asoundconf set-default-card "name of soundcard"
=== profoX_ is now known as profoX`
[17:12] <toboh> BluesKaj, i know that my card is a Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family), but what name should I put?

[17:34] <genii> toboh: then also close kmix and reopen it by alt-f2 and type in kmix there to the window
[17:34] <toboh> ive got a FATAL: Error inserting snd_hda_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-rt/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel/snd-hda-intel.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

[17:36] <BluesKaj> toboh, you're on Ubuntu right , not running KDE ?
[17:36]  * BluesKaj doesn't know if that matters with alsa  :P
[17:36] <toboh> mmm, kubuntu and now at a KDE session
[17:36] <BluesKaj> ok
[17:37] <genii> BluesKaj: Shouldn't matter to alsa at all
[17:37] <BluesKaj> ok
[17:37] <toboh> but in the begining I was in gnome and it was not working neither'
[17:37] <miegamice> which program can open ...run file type? when I download some instalations, linux open those with kate writing program
[17:38] <genii> toboh: try       sudo depmod -a       then the sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel                     again
[17:40] <genii> toboh: The message you are getting about unknown symbol is normally when the driver does not match the kernel version
[17:41] <toboh> mmm, after the depmode I got the same message again
[17:41] <toboh> mmm, Ive tried one thing I saw at a website
[17:42] <toboh> im going to reboot and be back, ok?
[17:42] <genii> miegamice: Usually you would run that from a command prompt. It should be executable first. So in same directory the file is in, :    sudo chmod +x <put filename here>; ./<put filename here>
[17:42] <genii> miegamice: if the second command of ./<filename>   groans try instead   bash ./<filename>
[17:42] <genii> toboh: OK
[17:43] <genii> BluesKaj: I think he will likely need to recompile his alsa drivers to jibe with his nonstandard kernel
[17:44] <BluesKaj> genii, nonstd kernel ... how does that happen
[17:44] <BluesKaj> ?
[17:45] <genii> BluesKaj: He seems to have the realtime kernel as indicated by: [12:34:43] <toboh> ive got a FATAL: Error inserting snd_hda_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-rt/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel/snd-hda-intel.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)           << note 2.6.22-14-rt  as kernel dir there

[17:47] <ubotu> Inkscape is a powerful vector graphics drawing application - see http://www.inkscape.org/ for more
[17:47] <holo> yes, it seems so. any idea? it should be there, at least from a thread in ubuntu forum
[17:48] <genii> miegamice: So do first:  cd ~
[17:49] <ryjek> hi ppl, I got and IDE drive(s) and a IDE->USB converter, and when I reboot or change the IDE drive, dolphin gives back a hal-storage-removable-mount-all-option refused uid 1000 when I try to access the partitions
[17:49] <ryjek> ideas
[17:50] <genii> ryjek: Use uuid in fstab instead of /dev/sdX   or so
[17:50] <nuxil> its seen as a usb mass storage
[17:51] <ryjek> nuxil, yes it is
[17:51] <ryjek> well I can mount them genii manually
[17:51] <genii> ryjek: If you are putting different hd on same cable they will have different unique uuid but may have entirely different filesystems or so on. So make as many fstab entries as you have different drives you use on it but with uuid line replacing the /dev/sdX
[17:51] <ryjek> but that's the thing, everytime I have to do it manually
[17:51] <toboh> I think I really screwed up the sound
[17:52] <miegamice> genii: what i need to do with cd?
[17:53] <genii> miegamice: While in program Konsole to type in:  cd ~               then after that the commands I described earlier to make the file executable and then to run it
[17:53] <nuxil> mount it ordenary. mount -t "ntfs-3g" /dev/sdXY /media/usb
[17:53] <nuxil> if you put in fstab you should not need to mount manualy every time
[17:53] <snikker> i've got a "find" command that run when i start the pc. can i disable it?
[17:54] <miegamice> okey, i will try
=== sara is now known as tikal26
[17:57] <genii> nuxil: The problem will be same as I described just earlier. The system cannot tell the difference for instance between sda which is a certain drive and sda which is a different drive and needs different mounting options. This is frustrating for instance when you have more than 1 mass-storage external device. If you use uuid of drive instead it doesn't matter what order you plug them in or what port etc etc
[17:58] <mueslix> reminds me, how can you actually get the uuid of a device?

[17:58] <wad> Hi, guys. I've got a new laptop, and I'm configuring Kubuntu on it (moving here from SUSE 10.2).

[18:01] <ryjek> now I got a permission denied error
[18:01] <genii> ryjek: are you (attempting) mounting using sudo or as regular user ?
[18:01] <nuxil> question.. if i have file A on hdaX then in ex: /home/me/dir/ i got one file A there too.. what will happen if i mount hdaX in /home/me/dir ? what will happen to file A's ?
[18:03] <diego> hola
[18:03] <mot> how do i refresh the icon cache in kde?
[18:03] <mot> i compiled pidgin from source
[18:03] <ryjek> fu**
[18:03] <ScorpKing> nuxil: if you mount something over existing stuff the mounted ones will replace the existing ones until you've unmounted the disk
[18:03] <mot> but when i try to add it to quicklaunch it doesn't find any icon...i know there's a command to refresh the db
[18:03] <ryjek> forgot about giving the mount command
[18:03] <ryjek> ok it works now
[18:03] <ryjek> let's res is
[18:04] <genii> nuxil: For as long as the drive is mounted you see the file which is on it. When you umount you see the same old file below it it again
[18:04] <nuxil> ok

[18:16] <Autoscum> Everything seems to be working fine, but I'm not getting any sound.
[18:16] <Autoscum> Any ideas, anyone?
[18:17] <Autoscum> (Volumes are all up.)
[18:17] <wad> ScorpKing, so I've got the symbolic link in place, but it doesn't work. I'll try replacing it with a script that calls ssh-add, like you suggest.
[18:17] <shaffy> can anyone tell me how to tile windows on my kde desktop?  i can't seem to find such an option.
[18:17] <ScorpKing> miegamice: ok. where do you get the error? straight after executing the installer or while you're in the installer?
[18:18] <miegamice> ScorpKing: what you do to install your video card? I get error, after Uncompressing NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86 100.14.03
[18:18] <ScorpKing> shaffy: ask in #kde
[18:19] <Downix> hmm

[18:39] <miegamice> How ti install x server?
[18:40] <BluesKaj> blind_guardian, you can use both gnome and kde in 'buntu , but you must choose at login which desktop environment you want to use for  that session...if you want to install gnome just "sudo apt-get install gnome desktop"
[18:40] <blind_guardian> ScorpKing: yesi know but only my idea forhelping user if he has low speed
[18:40] <ScorpKing> miegamice: it should be installed. what is the error?
[18:40] <BluesKaj> err gnome-desktop
[18:41] <ScorpKing> blind_guardian: then take a look at apt-move or apt-cacher

[18:47] <blind_guardian> ScorpKing: can yoou help me forthat ?
[18:48] <ScorpKing> blind_guardian: right click on the desktop --> configure desktop --> multiple desktops
[18:49] <ScorpKing> Autoscum: keep it simple. :P
[18:49] <Autoscum> ScorpKing: Yep, that would be a good advice. :D
[18:49] <Vermux> hi
[18:50] <ScorpKing> miegamice_: any news?
[18:51] <Vermux> Im about to install Kubuntu on a different hard drive. How do I transfer all settings (users, favorites, notes...) to the new computer?
[18:51] <jpatrick> Vermux: cd /home
[18:51] <miegamice_> ScorpKing:  when i log off... there is a option, restart x server... but how can i log in in tty?
[18:51] <ignignokt> exit
[18:51] <blind_guardian> ScorpKing: i mean about application , for exemple if i run kopete in desktop 1 nd amarok in desktop 3 when i run to desktop 3 i don't want see minimise window of kopete
[18:51] <ignignokt> or i read that wrong, nvm
[18:51] <lod_> console sesion
[18:51] <ScorpKing> miegamice_: press ctrl+alt+f1
[18:51] <jpatrick> Vermux: rsync -av youruserFolder yourlogin@otherComputerIP:/home
[18:52] <Autoscum> Or just type "stopx" ?
[18:52] <blind_guardian> ScorpKing: doyou understand me
[18:52] <Autoscum> blind_guardian: You want multiple taskbars?
[18:52] <Autoscum> Yep.. :>
[18:53] <ScorpKing> blind_guardian: there is an option in kcontrol for that
[18:53] <Vermux> jpatrick: so I need to donload rsync, then type that command... and then what?
[18:53] <jpatrick> Vermux: you'll need openssh-server installed
[18:53] <blind_guardian> ScorpKing: what is it please ?
[18:53] <jpatrick> Vermux: it'll sync ALL files across, no install needed :)
[18:53] <ScorpKing> one moment..
[18:53] <Vermux> jpatrick: it will sync it over ethernet?
[18:54] <jpatrick> Vermux: yes
[18:54] <Strangelet> Hallo everyone, I have just switched over to Kubuntu this morning, I am liking it so far. Although it feels a bit unfamiliar, I should be fine soon. Though there is one issue. I am using a laptop and I dislike the "double tap to click" function, though I do not know how to disable it. I looked in the "keyboard and mouse" dialog, but I found nothing. How do I do this?
[18:54] <jpatrick> !rsync
[18:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:54] <jpatrick> hmm
[18:54] <ignignokt> amarok won't start. :( halp... no relevant console output other than "Amarok is taking a long time to load!"
[18:54] <jpatrick> Vermux: rsync's really good, I'll be back later :)
[18:54] <Vermux> jpatrick: so first step is to install openssh-server?
[18:55] <jpatrick> Vermux: on the server you'll be sending to
[18:55] <Vermux> jpatrick: it is just a workstation
[18:55] <blind_guardian> ScorpKing: i find it 'show windows fro all dektop"
[18:56] <blind_guardian> from*
[18:56] <ScorpKing> blind_guardian: that's the one
[18:56] <Autoscum> Oh, great..
[18:56] <Autoscum> No sound with flash.
[18:57] <Autoscum> (YouTube videos)
[18:57] <ScorpKing> lol
[18:57] <Autoscum> Any ideas on that, ScorpKing? :D
[18:57] <ScorpKing> nope.
[18:58] <Autoscum> Anyone else, then? =p
[18:58] <Strangelet> Hallo everyone, I have just switched over to Kubuntu this morning, I am liking it so far. Although it feels a bit unfamiliar, I should be fine soon. Though there is one issue. I am using a laptop and I dislike the "double tap to click" function, though I do not know how to disable it. I looked in the "keyboard and mouse" dialog, but I found nothing. How do I do this?
[18:59] <miegamice> ScorpKing: that is like console?
[18:59] <ScorpKing> miegamice: yes
[19:00] <miegamice> ScorpKing:  then I better will write all those commands on paper :D
[19:00] <ScorpKing> Strangelet: it's in kcontrol under peripherals --> mouse
[19:01] <dick-richardson> anyone using a printer/scanner that works well? I'm looking to buy one because the lexmark I currently have is as good as a paperweight in Linux :/
[19:01] <Strangelet> ScorpKing: Hm, I am there, but I still cannot find it
[19:01] <ScorpKing> miegamice: just reboot and press <ESC> for the grub menu. then install it
[19:02] <ScorpKing> miegamice: oh and select option 2 in the grub menu
[19:02] <cvw> Where is the option to disable the bouncing mouse cursor when starting applications?
[19:02] <ScorpKing> Strangelet: in the Icons section
[19:02] <miegamice> ScorpKing: recovery?
[19:02] <ScorpKing> yes
[19:02] <BluesKaj> Strangelet, kmenu/system settings/keyboard&mouse/mouse/single click to open files & folders ..I'm not sure this will work unless mouse emulation is enabled in xserver-xorg
[19:02] <miegamice> ScorpKing: ok i will, thank you
[19:03] <ScorpKing> yw
[19:03] <ScorpKing> BluesKaj: i think it works by default.
[19:03] <jpatrick> Vermux: I'm back, sorry
[19:03] <jpatrick> Vermux: have you installed openssh-server on the recieving computer?
[19:04] <miegamice> ScorpKing: ok... now my Pc shows, to install v-card, you need to be as root
[19:04] <ScorpKing> miegamice: in recovery mode?
[19:05] <miegamice> no... i will restart now :)
[19:05] <ScorpKing> hehe
[19:05] <Vermux> jpatrick: Im downloading kubuntu dvd
[19:05] <Strangelet> ScorpKing: I am sorry, could you rephrase that? I didn't understand. >.
[19:05]  * ScorpKing sends miegamice away..
[19:05] <jpatrick> Vermux: ah, ok
[19:05] <wad> I would like to add /home/wad/bin to my path. I know of several places where I can edit scripts to do it, but what is the Correct thing to do?
[19:05] <jpatrick> wad: it should pick it up it self...
[19:06] <Vermux> jpatrick: so u r saying to install it. Do I have to do anything special during installation?
[19:06] <wad> jpatrick, Ah, that's cool. So, I guess I need to reboot? I created the directory already....
[19:06] <Vermux> jpatrick: I mean, during installation of kubuntu?
[19:06] <ScorpKing> Strangelet: still looking for the setting? press alt+f2 and enter kcontrol
[19:06]  * miegamice in defense position
[19:06] <wad> But it's not in my path, of coruse.
[19:06]  * wad loggs off, then on again
[19:06] <jpatrick> wad: just exit and open the konsole again
[19:06] <wad> ok
[19:06] <Strangelet> ScorpKing: Oh! I already got to the dialog, I am in the mouse menu, but I am not sure what to do from there
[19:07] <jpatrick> Vermux: install openssh-server on the recieving end yes
[19:07] <xbehave> im in konqueror 4 how do i login to an ftp server?
[19:07] <cvw> jpatrick: how can ~/bin be added to the path of "Run Command"?
[19:07] <ScorpKing> Strangelet: on that screen now, do you see "Icons" (in the mouse menu)
[19:07] <jpatrick> cvw: hmm, don't know
[19:08] <cvw> jpatrick: k
[19:08] <cvw> Where is the option to disable the bouncing mouse cursor when starting applications?
[19:08] <jpatrick> Vermux: If you want to jot down the next steps I can tell you tell
[19:08] <Strangelet> ScorpKing: No, I don't see 'icons' :(
[19:08] <jpatrick> them*
[19:08] <Vermux> jpatrick: ssh client or server?
[19:08] <jpatrick> Vermux: server
[19:08] <ScorpKing> Strangelet: do you see the "reverse scroll direction" option?
[19:08] <Vermux> jpatrick: why do I need that?
[19:08] <Strangelet> ScorpKing: Yep, I see that
[19:09] <jpatrick> Vermux: to get access to transfer them across
[19:09] <ScorpKing> Strangelet: give me a second, i'll upload a screenshot
[19:09] <Vermux> jpatrick: Ic so what is ssh client? do I need it as well?
[19:09] <Strangelet> ScorpKing: Okay, thank you :)
[19:09] <Exploit_> how my i stop x for a video driver installation?
[19:10] <jpatrick> Vermux: ssh client is what you use to log into a ssh server
[19:10] <jckl> is there a way to change the increase/decrease percentage of my volume keys?
[19:10] <Vermux> jpatrick: which in this case I dont need, right?
[19:10] <jpatrick> Vermux: hopefully
[19:11] <jpatrick> Vermux: rsync should do it all
[19:11] <miegamice> ScorpKing: I enter in recovery mode, and linux cheked something :D
[19:11] <ScorpKing> miegamice: you done?
[19:11] <Vermux> jpatrick: Ic. so rsync uses open ssh server in order to transfer the data?
[19:11] <miegamice> ScorpKing:  what?
[19:11] <ScorpKing> miegamice: did the driver install?
[19:11] <jpatrick> Vermux: it logs into to it yes
[19:12] <miegamice> ScorpKing: I tried, but now that command didn't work :2
[19:12]  * ScorpKing sighs..
[19:12] <Autoscum> lol
[19:12] <Vermux> jpatrick: ok, so after I installed kubuntu and open ssh server all I need to do on the sending computer is rsync -av youruserFolder yourlogin@otherComputerIP:/home  ?
[19:13] <jpatrick> Vermux: first cd /home
[19:13] <Vermux> jpatrick: ok
[19:13] <ScorpKing> miegamice: when you are in recovery mode, cd /home/you/ and the ./NVIDIA......
[19:13] <jpatrick> Vermux: what's the IP of the recieving computer?
[19:14] <Vermux> jpatrick: I dont know currently, I assume 192.168.....
[19:14] <jpatrick> Vermux: and then rsync -av vermux vermux@192.168.1.4:/home/
[19:14] <jpatrick> Vermux: for example, -a means archive and -v is verbose
[19:15] <Vermux> jpatrick: archive means, it is compressing it?
[19:15] <jpatrick> Vermux: no
[19:15] <jpatrick> Vermux: see man:/rsync in konqueror :)
[19:16] <Vermux> jpatrick: ok, I will. Im waiting for the download to be over
[19:16] <ScorpKing> Strangelet: http://i14.tinypic.com/6y3ojf7.jpg
[19:16] <jpatrick> Vermux: it's really fast and neat
[19:17] <Vermux> jpatrick: sounds like that. u wrote my user name; did u mean the name of the machine?
[19:17] <Vermux> jpatrick: in rsync -av vermux vermux@192.168.1.4:/home/
[19:17] <Strangelet> ScorpKing: Okay, I have the same window up (phew!), so what do you mean by "icons"?
[19:17] <jpatrick> Vermux: no, the first is your home folder name and the second is your user name on the other computer
[19:17] <miegamice> ok... I will find linux for dumbass

[19:19] <ScorpKing> Strangelet: do you see the screen is split into two sections?
[19:19] <Strangelet> ScorpKing: Yes, a main dialog, and a navigation bar
[19:20] <ScorpKing> Strangelet: not those. the one is "Button Order" and the other is "Icons"
[19:20] <Vermux> jpatrick: by the way, the other computer has winxp on it. I want to install kubuntu as well. do u recommend any particular partition setting?
[19:20] <Strangelet> ScorpKing: Huh! I see both boxes, but neither are labelled. 0_0
[19:21] <ScorpKing> Strangelet: look on the photo between the two boxes
[19:21] <jpatrick> Vermux: at least 10GB for Kubuntu root and 1gb swap and 25GB Winxp and the rest /home
[19:21] <ScorpKing> Strangelet: there is "Reverse Scroll Direction". do you see that?
[19:21] <Strangelet> ScorpKing: "Reverse scroll direction"? Yah, I see it

[19:23] <jpatrick> Vermux: cool
[19:23] <Strangelet> ScorpKing: I already have that selected. The laptop's mouse still clicks when I double-tap the pad. :(
[19:24] <Vermux> jpatrick: os and data for xp should be on the same partition?

[19:24] <ScorpKing> Strangelet: correct me if i'm wrong. do you want to click once to open files and folders?
[19:24] <jpatrick> Vermux: if you want
[19:25] <jpatrick> Vermux: personally I don't have much experience with winxp
[19:25] <Strangelet> ScorpKing: Oh no! I am sorry, I guess I just phrased it wrongly. I am using a laptop, when I tap the pad twice, the mouse clicks, I want to disable that.
[19:25] <ScorpKing> lol
[19:25] <Vermux> jpatrick: ok. currently the xp has I think 120 gb. so I will have 40 gb for the rest
[19:26] <jpatrick> Vermux: that's good :)
[19:26] <Vermux> jpatrick: r u familiar with samba?
[19:26] <jpatrick> Vermux: no, I use ssh for all my needs

[19:27] <Strangelet> ScorpKing: Searched, I found none. :(
[19:27] <ScorpKing> Strangelet: try google then ;)
[19:27] <Strangelet> ScorpKing: Yessir, thank you for trying. :)
[19:29] <ScorpKing> Strangelet: hehe, you're welcome. i think what you are looking for might be set in xorg.conf but i'm not sure. good luck

[19:42] <stdin> wad: legal restrictions
=== janx is now known as polk22
[19:42] <wad> stdin, so I see, from that link under !mp3.
[19:43] <wad> Seems like someone would have made it easier to fix. You know, a dialog with an "I accept" button, which then does "apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" sort of thing.
[19:44] <stdin> wad: it's a possibility, but it's easier to install the codec when it's needed. amarok should ask you to install it (at least in feisty+)
[19:45] <wad> In kubuntu gutsy, it just puked out an error message.
[19:45] <stdin> wad: if you could report that (after making sure you're up-to-date) to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu it'd be helpful
[19:46] <michaelnovakjr> wad: did you import an mp3 into amarok?
[19:46] <wad> :)
[19:46] <andreas__> HEy i have a question on oppenoffice
[19:46] <andreas__> can anyone help me?#
[19:46] <wad> I'm migrating from a SUSE 10.2 laptop to a newer Kubuntu 7.10 laptop.
[19:47] <sigma_1234> what are the dependencies for adobe reader 8 in the medibuntu repo's?
[19:47] <stdin> andreas__: ask it and see
[19:47] <wad> I copied all my mp3s over, and the playlists. I told amarok where to scan my collection, and it was happy. I imported my playlists, and it was happy. I tried to play sone music, but it just barfed.
[19:47] <stdin> sigma_1234: have a look "apt-cache show <package>"
[19:47] <andreas__> well i create a table on oppen office and what i want is to write next to it
[19:47] <michaelnovakjr> wad: weird, have you ran the package updater recently?
[19:47] <andreas__> but i don't know how to do that
[19:47] <Autoscum> I got a problem - flash has no sound. (YouTube)
[19:47] <Autoscum> Ideas? :P

[19:48] <Autoscum> Not really. :D
[19:48] <bmk789> can someone recommend a network stumbler clone for kubuntu?
[19:48] <michaelnovakjr> wad: i wonder if opensuse does something odd with the mp3's that kubuntu doesnt understand
[19:48] <stdin> andreas__: double click it?
[19:48] <sigma_1234> stdin: im only getting it tommorow and need to download the dependencies at the same time (i have to use a university internet connection)
[19:48] <wad> Could be. I'm kinda noobish here, stull. :-/
[19:49] <wad> still
[19:49] <andreas__> i don't know if you know what i mean... I mean is that i can only write above or below the table
[19:49] <stdin> sigma_1234: if you're using the repository, apt will get the dependencies
[19:49] <andreas__> i want to write Out of the table, but next to it
[19:49] <sigma_1234> stdin: il be using internet explorer. lol
[19:49] <michaelnovakjr> wad: basically amarok looks for mp3 support, if it doesn't find it then it prompts you to install it.... that is usually how it works.... did you try downloading the package manually?
[19:50] <stdin> sigma_1234: why do you need adobe reader?
[19:50] <wad> no....
[19:50] <michaelnovakjr> wad: do you have xmms2-plugin-mad installed?

[20:11] <Jeroi> can someone help?
[20:11] <alison> Odd-rationale: i am not sure. Someone suggested installing "Wifi-radar"
[20:12] <alison> but that did not work correctly
[20:12] <alison> another suggestion was to install ndiswrapper

[20:26] <wad> And there was a button "install mp3 support"
[20:26] <michaelnovakjr> wad: awesome!

[20:26] <wad> SWEET!

[21:17] <malacoda> any ideas?
[21:19] <Daisuke_Ido> BluesKaj: because some banks (banks i refuse to ever deal with) insist on using activex controls
[21:21] <BluesKaj> Daisuke_Ido, they should be banned from internet banking ...activeX is vulnerable
[21:21] <Daisuke_Ido> BluesKaj: i quite agree
[21:21] <petoone> d
[21:22] <BluesKaj> activeX is banned by Canadian banks ...takes alittle while longer to load their pages , but i feel safer

[21:46] <toshinobu> genii: what do you mean exactly?
[21:46] <Dr_Willis> Hmm My fastwrite says its disabled also.. of course im not even srue what that setting does.
[21:46] <Strangelet> stdin: okay, thank you
[21:46] <Dr_Willis> harrison:  then MAKE the file perhaps?
[21:46] <antonio_> can somebody tellme how to install compiz-fusion??
[21:46] <Dr_Willis> !compiz | antonio_
[21:46] <ubotu> antonio_: 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
[21:47] <antonio_> ubotu, thats what i wass needing, thankyou
[21:48] <Dr_Willis> ubotu:  is a bot. :)
[21:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is a bot. :) - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:48] <genii> toshinobu: in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst at the end of tghe line which loads your usual kernel it has something like:     quiet splash         .So add after this usb-hand-off. You need to edit with admin privelege, eg: kdesu kate /boot/grub/menu.lst
[21:49] <toshinobu> genii: awesome, thanks.
[21:49] <genii> toshinobu: There is a fast way to see if it will work (just affects the one boot time) which is to interrupt Grub boot then edit the end of the line which loads the kernel to add again the usb-handoff then b to boot it
[21:49] <toshinobu> oh
[21:49] <toshinobu> i'll try the first method
[21:50] <genii> toshinobu: This option may or may not fix your issue, on intel based usb it works often to sort out the keyboard and tablet suddenly stopping
[21:50] <toshinobu> genii: it's a touchpad though... not usb
[21:51] <toshinobu> genii: integrated on the laptop
[21:51] <antonio_> whats the substitute for gedit in kubuntu_
[21:51] <antonio_> please
[21:51] <jpatrick> antonio_: kate
[21:51] <genii> toshinobu: The intel controller is for the usb but also has some subsystems which affect how the keyboard and touchpad get seen
[21:51] <Dr_Willis> !editor
[21:51] <ubotu> Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) | Terminal-based editors: vi/vim, emacs, and nano (user-friendly). | HTML/CSS editors: !html | Programming: !code
[21:52] <genii> toshinobu: Whether or not usb based
[21:52] <antonio_> jpatrick, thanks
[21:53] <toshinobu> genii:ok... is it usb-hand-off or usb-handoff
[21:54] <wad> Question: What good is this "wallet" thing? Whenever I fire up kopete, it forces me to type in a password. I've already logged in, and entered my private key into ssh-agent... seems kinda silly. Do I have to use this, or is there a way for it to just work without me entering passwords multiple times?

[22:08] <drewcipher> harrison:   sudo su works for me  (But, I might have set it up back when I first starting using Kubuntu when I thought I needed to be root)
[22:09] <Dr_Willis> sudo -s, or some other options can give a root shell.
[22:09] <hydrogen> sudo -i
[22:09] <hydrogen> or just sudo passwd
[22:09] <Dr_Willis> sudo su is a bit.. redundantly repetivitve
[22:09] <Dr_Willis> :)
[22:09] <hydrogen> to set a root passwd
[22:09] <hydrogen> and log in as root happily
[22:09] <Dr_Willis> hydrogen:  thats top secret... :)
[22:10] <Dr_Willis> hydrogen:  its like a Linux IQ test. if they know enough to figure that out.. they know enough to actually be trusted to do it.  Heh heh..
[22:11] <niall> ah ha
[22:11] <niall> turned out I had to install the kdmtheme package ;]
[22:14] <drewcipher> Dr_Willis:  I don't think  "sudo su"  is redundant.   su means 'substitute user" or "switch user" and w/out any flags defaults to super user.     probably a pointless discussion (my specialty)
[22:16] <niall> argh, installing new themes doesn't work ;/
[22:16] <Dr_Willis> drewcipher:  its spawning a seperate process  - i belive.. so that makes it about as redundant as   ... well.. spawning more processes then needed. :)
[22:18] <Zombocom> hey
[22:18] <Don-S> How do you uninstall Kubuntu and KDE 4 completely? (I'm using Ubuntu, and installed the Kubuntu libaries and so forth).
[22:19] <trafalgar> anyone here familiar with how to restore a the contents of a .bz2 file to a native Linux block device?
[22:19] <Dr_Willis> uncompress it.. then dd it back to the device
[22:21] <wad> What's the command to see where "apt-get install" put the files?
[22:21] <Dr_Willis> i use the synaptic or adept package manager and use it to see what files were in the package.
[22:21] <wad> ah, okay.
[22:21] <Dr_Willis> Theres a command line wya.. but i never can rember it.
[22:22] <trafalgar> Dr_Willis: I was thinking of uncompressing it using the following command (but don't know what to put after the >) bunzip2 /media/drive-1/file.bz2 >
[22:22] <niall> OK so kdmtheme doesn't actually do antyhing :/
[22:22] <Dr_Willis> !info unp
[22:22] <ubotu> unp: unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.12 (gutsy), package size 9 kB, installed size 72 kB
[22:22] <niall> kubuntu is starting to stress me out ;/
[22:22] <Dr_Willis> trafalgar:  read the bunzip man pages. or try unp. :) im lazy and use unp
[22:22] <Dr_Willis> niall:  i use kdmtheme to set my kdm themes....
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> It puts a kdm theme icon in the control center somewhere..
[22:24] <LjL> drewcipher, it's *technically*, not semantically redundant, because "sudo" switches user (to root, if not instructed otherwise), and "su" *also* switches user. there *is* redundancy. there is no redundancy in "sudo -i".
[22:24] <trafalgar> Dr_Willis: would you agree that it was indeed a direct install on a native block device if the output of file -s /dev/sda5 is /dev/sda5:  x86 boot sector, Microsoft Windows XP MBR, Serial 0xfe00fd; partition 1: ID=0x7, active, starthead 1, startsector 63, 125804952 sectors?
[22:24] <niall> Dr_Willis: It's in the appearence menu, but I selected a different theme and clicked apply, logged out and nothing had changed. Also installing themes does nothing :/
[22:25] <Dr_Willis> niall:  restart the kdm service.
[22:25] <Dr_Willis> dont just logout.
[22:25] <Dr_Willis> quck way - alt-ctrl-backspace :)
[22:25] <Dr_Willis> trafalgar:  you could always mount the file image with the loopback trick. and access it.  and see whats on it.
[22:25] <niall> hokay :}
[22:26] <trafalgar> Dr_Willis: how's that trick go?
[22:26] <Dr_Willis> I forget.. :)
[22:26] <Dr_Willis> !iso
[22:26] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[22:27] <wad> Grr. Adept won't show the jdk package. :(
[22:27] <wad> Does anyone now how to see where the system put files?
[22:27] <articpenguin3800> what is the file size that reiserfs excels at
[22:27] <malacoda> kubuntu isnt booting i need help
[22:27] <trafalgar> Dr_Willis: it
[22:27] <Dr_Willis> sudo mount -o loop -t filesystem  filename  mountpoint
[22:27] <Dr_Willis> I think.
[22:27] <wad> I used "apt-get install sun-java6-jdk" to install this, but I need to set the JDK_HOME variable to use the darn thing.
[22:27] <wad> And I can't figure out where it put the files.
[22:28] <wad> adept refuses to show me anything about it.
[22:28] <trafalgar> Dr_Willis: filename?
[22:28] <Dr_Willis> wad:   odd.. it should set that all right. check the !java wiki page
[22:28] <wad> !java
[22:28] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) or earlier.
[22:28] <Dr_Willis> trafalgar:  the name of the file... :)
[22:28] <trafalgar> Dr_Willis: it
[22:28] <trafalgar> 's a raw block device
[22:28] <toshinobu> i'm trying to login as root using "su" and it says authentication failure... even though i AM root. How can i change the pw?
[22:28] <trafalgar> Dr_Willis: don't know filename
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> trafalgar:  you said you had it in a file... whatever.bz
=== poker is now known as yasuma
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> uncompress it..   to whatever, then try mounting it.
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> toshinobu:  use sudo, not su in most cases
[22:30] <trafalgar> Dr_Willis: OK, so what comes after the > in bunzip2 file.bz2 >   ?
[22:30] <Dr_Willis> trafalgar:  i dont rember.. thats why i mentioned 'unp'
[22:30] <Dr_Willis> or check the man pages for bunzip2
[22:30] <wad> Ah, here it is: dpkg -L <packagename>
[22:30] <niall> ahhh, now it's worse
[22:30] <Dr_Willis> unp whatever.archive.name.is
[22:30] <hydrogen> bzip -d file.bzip2
[22:30] <toshinobu> Dr_Willis: thing is that cmake is using su and it needs to install KBFX as admin
[22:30] <hydrogen> err
[22:31] <hydrogen> file.bz2
[22:31] <mith_> are there any working flash editor for linux?
[22:31] <trafalgar> Dr_Willis: did, they don't say
[22:31] <trafalgar> Dr_Willis: I guess I can just pick something
[22:31] <Dr_Willis> toshinobu:  in most cases one does a ./configiure, make, then sudo make instsall.
[22:31] <niall> now it's using the horrible settings fromt he login manager, and not a KDM theme at all, not even the default one :<
[22:31] <trafalgar> Dr_Willis: I was thinking you wanted to mount the source server image
[22:31] <trafalgar> Dr_Willis: rather than the .bz2
[22:32] <Dr_Willis> trafalgar:  you cant mount it while its in a compressed file.. (at least i dont think so)
[22:32] <Dr_Willis> Uncomrepess the file, then mount it to check it out.. or dd it to whever you want.
[22:32] <trafalgar> Dr_Willis: right, but the source server is just Windows 2003 on a raw block device
[22:32] <toshinobu> Dr_Willis: KBFX only requires ./build.sh
[22:32] <Dr_Willis> toshinobu:  then try 'sudo ./build,sh'
[22:33] <trafalgar> Dr_Willis: e.g., on that server it's not compressed
[22:33] <Dr_Willis> trafalgar:  i think you need to start over from the beginning.. you are confusing yourself and me.
[22:34] <toshinobu> Dr_Willis: ok thanks
[22:34] <wad> Where is the most appropriate place to set an environment variable? .bashrc?
[22:34] <Dr_Willis> wad:  there or .bash_profile
[22:34] <wad> oh, thanks
[22:34] <Dr_Willis> Ive never had to mess with the java env variables in the past however.
[22:35] <Dr_Willis> You might just need to do the 'update-alternative'  thing to get java set right.
[22:35] <Dr_Willis> thats discussed on the !java page.
[22:35] <trafalgar> Dr_Willis: I have two things: (1) Windows 2003 Server Xen Guest installed on an OLD server partition and (2) a backup copy of that file compressed into a .bz2 file and I just need to move either one onto a NEW server partition
[22:36] <wad> Dr_Willis, do you write java apps?
[22:36] <Dr_Willis> wad:  nope.
[22:36] <wad> I do. :) IntelliJ won't run without this variable set.
[22:36] <Dr_Willis> trafalgar:  and how was the copy made?
[22:37] <Dr_Willis> wad:  I was thinking the update-alterntives thing did set them all properly.
[22:37] <trafalgar> Dr_Willis: probably with bunzip2
[22:37]  * wad tries it
[22:37] <Dr_Willis> trafalgar:  no.. thats how it was COMPRESSED...
[22:37] <wad> !java
[22:37] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) or earlier.
[22:37] <trafalgar> Dr_Willis: or whatever the compression equivalent is
[22:37] <trafalgar> bzip2?
[22:37] <trafalgar> trafalgar: probably bzip2
[22:38] <wad> I don't have any .bash_profile on this filesystem... I did a "find" from root.
[22:38] <Dr_Willis> trafalgar:  in short you have a hard drive Image file thats compressed..  You uncompress it. then either Mount it via the loop trick to access the files. or dd the uncompressed file to the device you want to copy it back to.
[22:38] <Dr_Willis> wad:  make one. :)
[22:39] <wad> Does it go into /etc or my home directory?
[22:39] <Dr_Willis> . files are user settings

[23:11] <thomas_newbie__> if I have a LAN and I have computer #1 with ip: 192
[23:12] <awag> hey guys, will my current kubuntu install be able to boot if i swap in a new motherboard with a different chipset on it?
[23:12] <awag> or will it freek?
[23:12] <thomas_newbie__> if I have a LAN and I have computer #1 with ip: 192.168.112.97 and default gateway:192.168.12.1 and other PC #2 ip: 192.168.12.205 and same default gateway, will they be able to communicate together?
[23:13] <drewcipher> thomas_newbie_: do they have the same subnet/netmask assigned?
[23:14] <thomas_newbie__> drewcipher: Yes
[23:14] <drewcipher> thomeas_newbie_:  oh, just noticed the .112.97 and .12.205.    thought they were in the same segment.
[23:14] <thomas_newbie__> drewcipher: so thats a no?
[23:15] <BluesKaj> acemo, after you done the settings , the change should only take a few secs
[23:15] <drewcipher> from the 192.168.112.97 machine, can you ping the 192.168.12.1?
[23:15] <thomas_newbie__> drewcipher: don't have it set up

[23:16] <antonio_> HELLO every one, i need to activate XGL for runnign compiz, how do i do it in kubuntu?
[23:16] <BluesKaj> what's going acemo ?
[23:17] <acemo> bluesKaj: the "Restarting sound system"
[23:17] <BluesKaj> acemo, it should take only afew secs ...stop it
[23:18] <drewcipher> thomas_newbie_:   I think you need to start with your router.  Until 192.168.112.97 can chat wtih the router trying to communicate with 192.168.12.205 will be tough.
[23:18] <Joeeigel> I keep getting errors when trying to install kubuntu... What should I do?
[23:18] <acemo> BluesKaj: after stopping it, changing the sound system to alsa again, it only took a few seconds

[23:19] <BluesKaj> acemo, good ! now do this: open kmix and enable Master & PCM on the output tab , then CD & IEC playback (if listed) in the Input tab , next make sure Mix & IEC958 are enabled in the Switches tab , then click on Settings/Configure Kmix and apply.
[23:20] <thomas_newbie__> drewcipher: so basically PC #1 192.168.112.97 is on a different subnet?
[23:21] <thomas_newbie__> drewcipher: having a router of 192.16.12.1 and IP 192.168.112.97, that means that the PC cannot communicate with the router. It would have to be 192.168.12.X ????
[23:21] <drewcipher> thomas_newbie_:  it depends on your mask.  if they are both set to 255.255.255.0 then yes.  If set to 255.0.0.0 theoretically possible (I think) but sloppy. I wouldn't do that.
[23:21] <acemo> BluesKaj: IEC playback aint listed, Mix aint listed, there is Headphone tho, wich i enabled
[23:21] <crimsun> acemo: remove ~/.asoundrc*, log out, and back in.
[23:21] <acemo> BluesKaj: still no sound
[23:22] <crimsun> acemo: your ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf is configured incorrectly.
[23:22] <BluesKaj> acemo, then :  in the terminal type ' alsamixer ', make sure the Master, PCM, Line & CD are all unmuted ,by using the "M" key', then set the volume ctrls to 71%

[23:22] <Strangelet> How do I get Kubuntu to inform me the battery is going dead minutes before it automatically hibernates?
[23:22] <drewcipher> thomaas_newbie_:   depending on your router you should be able to set it up to be the router for the two machines for sure (that's what it is there for).
[23:22] <acemo> crimsun, BluesKaj: rebooting brb
[23:23] <drewcipher> thomas_newbie_:  is there a reason you want them on different segments?
[23:23] <stdin> Strangelet: it should inform you that the battery is at a critical level with a status notification in the upper left corner of the screen
[23:23] <stdin> Strangelet: the battery monitor in the system try will also display the low status
[23:24] <Strangelet> stdin: Strange, an alert only came up seconds before it hibernated saying "5 minutes remaining, hibernating now"
[23:24] <Strangelet> stdin: or something like that

[23:30] <antonio_> my card is nvidia geforce FX
[23:30] <drewcipher> thomas_newbie__: (tab noted.  thanks).    To have machines communicate having those two IP addresses then you'd need to set up the subnet mask on both machines and the router to allow them to chat.  It is really the sloppy way to do it.
[23:30] <antonio_> but i dont now where are those options in kubuntu

[23:33] <antonio_> but if ubuntu had it, (i never installed it ) and its supose to be the same, why i cannot run compiz
[23:34] <drewcipher> thomas_newbie__:  cool.  it is actually the best way to learn about broadcast and netmask.    So, I should take it back if I said it is wrong.   If it was your company then I'd be worried but for a home network you're having fun on go for it.
[23:34] <BluesKaj> acemo, I have to state the obvious , check your audio connections: ,soundcard  output connections , headphones & speakers etc

[23:36] <joseph> surely, one of you know
[23:38] <acemo> crimsun: running `speaker-test -c2 -Dplughw:0` i do hear some noise from the left front and right front speakers..
[23:39] <crimsun> acemo: separately, correct?
[23:39] <acemo> crimsun: separately yeah, but its like the sound u hear when u put the radio on a non-excisting channel
[23:39] <acemo> crimsun: sorry cant think of the english word for it
[23:39] <crimsun> acemo: right, it uses pink noise
[23:39] <crimsun> that's intentional.
[23:40] <BluesKaj> crimsun, neat test :)
[23:40] <drewcipher> thomas_newbie__:  I hear ya.  You'd probably save yourself a lot of grief by starting with IP's like 192.168.12.100, 192.168.12.101, default gateway of 12.168.12.1 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0.  That would get them all talking to each other w/out tweaking the router or getting into changing the subnets.
[23:41] <acemo> crimsun: so.. i do have the plugs connected correctly then..? if i hear the "pink" noise
[23:42] <crimsun> acemo: sound does work correctly, yes.
[23:43] <acemo> crimsun: changed the command to 'speaker-test -c5 -Dplughw:0' and with rear right and center there is no sound
[23:43] <crimsun> acemo: -c6 -Dplug:surround51
[23:43] <crimsun> acemo: you could even try -c8 -Dplug:surround71
[23:44] <Adder---> When I open up my computer if theres an active internet connection I can use it without a problem. But, if I start the connection AFTER I start Kubuntu, the OS doesnt seem to auto-detect iit. What could be wrong? :S
[23:44] <Adder---> In other words my connection is detected during boot time, but not after :<
[23:45] <acemo> crimsun: -c6 -Dplug:surround51 does not gives any sound at all
[23:46] <crimsun> acemo: are the appropriate Side, Low, etc. mixer elements unmuted and set to levels greater than zero?
[23:46] <crimsun> acemo: keep in mind that you may need to try -c6 -Dplug:surround51 and -c8 -Dplug:surround71 depending on your mixer settings.
[23:46] <BluesKaj> Adder---, do you mean logout and back in shuts it off ?
[23:47] <acemo> center and rear right aint working
[23:48] <acemo> in kmix i put everything to the max
[23:48] <ardchoille> acemo: I noticed that on two of my computers, sounds doesn't work at all if the PCM setting is above 84
[23:49] <BluesKaj> acemo, don't !
[23:49] <crimsun> acemo: but is Side unmuted?
[23:49] <acemo> crimsun: Side is unmuted yes
[23:49] <BluesKaj> acemo, 71% is lots
[23:50] <Adder---> BluesKaj, its something like this: if the internet cable is plugged in the computer when it boots internet will work. If I plug it only afterwards internet doesnt work, in which case I have to reboot so the connection can be detected. :T
[23:52] <acemo> BluesKaj: lowered pcm to bout half, turned up the volume button a bit and still same
[23:53] <ardchoille> acemo: I'm hearing impaired and noticed that I can have the Master full up and the PCM at 81% and things work fine, just fyi
[23:53] <BluesKaj> what sound source and player are you using ..cd, mp3 in amarok or .... ?
[23:54] <xRaich[o]2x> Adder---: is the computer connected to a modem or how is the setup?
[23:54] <BluesKaj> ardchoille, in the red overloads the speaker amplifier inputs creating distortion, turning the speaker vol ctrls up is the way to go
[23:55] <acemo> ardchoille: here.. the Master is the PCM :s
[23:55] <ardchoille> BluesKaj: Ah, ok
[23:55] <ardchoille> acemo: Interesting
[23:56] <Adder---> xRaich[o]2x, theres a residential gateway here
[23:56] <BluesKaj> well gents, it's tvtime with wifey for a bit ...BBL

[23:57] <Adder---> xRaich[o]2x,  dhcp
[23:57] <xRaich[o]2x> Adder---: try restarting the dhcp client when reconnecting the cable
[23:57] <Adder---> xRaich[o]2x, how do I do that? x_0
[23:58] <limac> hey
[23:58] <xRaich[o]2x> Adder---: are any dhcp processes running?
