| nosrednaekim | miladen: are you using konversation? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| sven_oostenbrink | miladen, you install the programs directly from the internet | 00:00 |
| sven_oostenbrink | miladen, for example, apt-get takes the files from here: http://mx.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ | 00:00 |
| sven_oostenbrink | miladen, these are called repositories | 00:00 |
| miladen | yes Konversation | 00:00 |
| nosrednaekim | miladen: settings->configure notifications | 00:01 |
| sven_oostenbrink | miladen, the more repositories, the more software you can install.. you can configure these repositories in your sources.list file (exact location: /etc/apt/sources.list) | 00:01 |
| jorge__ | hola | 00:01 |
| miladen | ok wait, try writing my name again | 00:01 |

| jorge__ | gracias | 00:03 |
| sven_oostenbrink | jorge__, youre welcome | 00:03 |
| miladen | sven_oostenbrink: where is there a list of repositories? | 00:03 |
| miladen | so the more repositories= the more packages in adept | 00:04 |
| sven_oostenbrink | miladen, I could send you my list.. its not 100% perfect (will give a number of warnings about repositories not existing anymore) but it works well | 00:04 |
| nosrednaekim | miladen: there is an indefinate number of repositories... anyone can make one | 00:04 |
| sourcemaker | well, my question is offt-topic.... but maybe someone can answer them: how can I convert openoffice master documents to PDF in batch mode? | 00:04 |
| sven_oostenbrink | miladen, more or less.. repositories should not cause incompatibilities.. but the ones I have work good | 00:04 |
| miladen | sven_oostenbrink: isnt it irritating that you get an error message everytime u use adept | 00:04 |
| egork | jorge: yo hablo un poco. | 00:04 |
| tekteen | sourcemaker: I use macros for that | 00:05 |
| sven_oostenbrink | miladen, no, you wont get errors every time.. just once during hte update you will see some warnings | 00:05 |
| sourcemaker | tekteen: are this offical macros from OO? | 00:05 |
| sven_oostenbrink | you backup the sources.list, put the new one there, then you HAVE to run " sudo apt-get update" wait for it to finish, and then you enjoy the new packages | 00:05 |
| tekteen | sourcemaker: no | 00:06 |
| tekteen | sourcemaker: there are guides online | 00:06 |
| miladen | sven_oostenbrink: how can i get your list then? :) | 00:06 |
| penol | when i type apt-get install kde4-core i got this error = http://www.pastebin.no/3142 | 00:06 |
| sourcemaker | tekteen: ok.. thanks | 00:06 |
| sven_oostenbrink | miladen, check this: http://rafb.net/p/N7KAZM28.html | 00:07 |
| sven_oostenbrink | put the contents of that in /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:07 |
| miladen | how do i do that? :S | 00:07 |
| miladen | just windows style? | 00:07 |
| nosrednaekim | miladen: erase whats in it, and paste that :) | 00:08 |
| nosrednaekim | miladen: and open it with root of course, like "kdesudo kate /etc/sources.list" | 00:09 |
| miladen | sven_oostenbrink: doesnt work, when i do kdesudo kate etc/apt/sources.list it just shows up as a blank docu | 00:13 |
| miladen | ok | 00:13 |
| miladen | solved :) | 00:13 |
| miladen | ./etc/apt/sources.list | 00:13 |
| miladen | sven_oostenbrink: ok done, what now? | 00:15 |
| miladen | sven_oostenbrink: There are just as many packages available as befor | 00:16 |
| tekteen | miladen: did you update the repos? | 00:16 |
| miladen | no | 00:17 |
| tekteen | miladen: in the konsole type: sudo apt-get update | 00:17 |
| tekteen | miladen: with adept closed | 00:17 |
| miladen | i know, im doin it | 00:17 |
| miladen | didnt think befor :) | 00:17 |
| tekteen | miladen: what are you doing? I was not here. | 00:18 |
| miladen | updating my repository :) | 00:18 |
| tekteen | miladen: what is your goal here? | 00:18 |
| tekteen | :-) | 00:18 |
| miladen | sven_oostenbrink: Thanks a lot dude :) do you know if i can find a "php repository"? | 00:18 |
| kijutsu | I'm attempting to mount an XFS drive from another system to recover approximately 6 gig from a 750 gig hard drive. I keep getting a segmentation fault from xfs_check and a 'cannot read realtime bitmap inode (22)" error. I'm not sure what the crap is going on, can anyone help? | 00:19 |
| blizzzek | gn8 | 00:19 |
| miladen | tekteen: you follow? :) | 00:20 |
| * tekteen is confused | 00:21 | |
| applehypnosis | miladen: there are php/php module packages in the ubuntu respositories, if that's what you mean | 00:22 |
| tekteen | applehypnosis: I think he wants programs coded in php | 00:22 |
| miladen | I shouldnt download GNOME stuff when im running kubuntu right? | 00:22 |
| tekteen | miladen: u can | 00:23 |
| tekteen | miladen: they just boot up slower | 00:23 |
| CadaverPimp | What would stop a splash screen from showing up? | 00:23 |

| draik | Better | 00:23 |
| miladen | i need a "color scheme" so i can easily find colorcodes | 00:23 |
| tekteen | miladen: for html? | 00:24 |
| miladen | yea | 00:24 |
| miladen | (css) | 00:24 |
| tekteen | miladen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors | 00:24 |
| biovore | draik: you running amd 64? | 00:24 |
| miladen | tekteen what? i mean a package | 00:25 |
| sven_oostenbrink | miladen, you can run gnome stuff on kde, no problem, but it IS less efficient, because you will be loading extra gnome libraries.. so if you can, use KDE only stuff, but if there is no alternative, no problem, just install it and use it | 00:25 |
| draik | miladen: http://www.immigration-usa.com/html_colors.html | 00:25 |
| draik | biovore: No | 00:25 |
| draik | biovore: Intel p4 2.0GHz | 00:25 |
| tekteen | miladen: I do not under stand the question | 00:25 |
| miladen | lol guys: i want a palette | 00:25 |
| tekteen | miladen: wikipedia has one | 00:26 |
| miladen | I know HTML colors :) i want the colorpalette, you know where I click a place and it tells me the color | 00:26 |
| draik | miladen: I gave you a complete list | 00:26 |
| miladen | nevermind guys :) i know wikipedia has one, i was just asking if such a package existed | 00:26 |
| sven_oostenbrink | miladen, I dunno if there is such a thing as a php repository but it can.. Check google.. You can install PHP and lots of php related material from the standard repos though anyway | 00:26 |
| draik | biovore: It's an oldie laptop | 00:27 |
| miladen | sven_oostenbrink: Adept is really slow now :S | 00:28 |
| miladen | HERE IT WAS: kColorEdit | 00:31 |
| achilles | hi, what software do you guys recommend for creating websites? | 00:33 |
| nhowell | notepad | 00:33 |
| tekteen | achilles: kate :-) | 00:33 |
| sven_oostenbrink | miladen, did you do an apt-get update after the new sources.list | 00:33 |
| nhowell | rofl | 00:33 |
| achilles | with a gui:P | 00:33 |
| tekteen | achilles: I hear NVU is good | 00:33 |
| sven_oostenbrink | miladen, and please, tell me you made a backup of the original sources.list in case you want to go back? :) | 00:33 |
| sven_oostenbrink | miladen, anyway.. its not slow here, no problems iwth it | 00:34 |
| achilles | is it likea dreamweaver? | 00:34 |
| miladen | yes i did :)( | 00:34 |
| tekteen | achilles: it is by mozilla | 00:34 |
| tekteen | achilles: I know nothing about is | 00:34 |
| miladen | achilles download Windows XP, then throw it out and use Kate :) | 00:34 |
| nhowell | Im getting an error with an update I wanted to ask about | 00:34 |
| tekteen | !ask | nhowell | 00:35 |
| ubotu | nhowell: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 00:35 |
| nhowell | nevermind. they must have fixed it recently. sry for the bother. How is everyone today? | 00:36 |
| tekteen | ok | 00:36 |
| nhowell | it was xserver-xorg-core erroring out on the package upgrade install | 00:37 |
| nhowell | but I just tried it again and it worked fine. | 00:37 |
| draik | biovore: Got anything with the splash screen? | 00:38 |
| Odd-rationale | What was this probelm with the xorg package, anyways. I just heard about it and don't know what was the matter. | 00:38 |
| U238Willy | achilles, NVU now goes by Kompozer | 00:39 |
| achilles_ | thanks i will try nvu | 00:40 |
| U238Willy | Quanta+ is another gui web design program | 00:40 |
| achilles_ | thanks :) | 00:40 |
| nhowell | Odd: I came in this morning to find the adept-updater alerting me of some package upgrades. All of them ran in fine, but xserver-xorg-core errored out. Tried it again, errored. Restarted X, errored. So once things piped down for the day, I thought I'd drop in and ask you guys. As I was asking, I ran the updater again, and it worked fine. They must have updated the package throughout the day. | 00:40 |
| U238Willy | NVU has stopped devel.. the project continues under the new name. | 00:40 |
| achilles_ | oh | 00:41 |
| Odd-rationale | nhowell: I just saw the topic today. Then I ran an update and everything was fine. | 00:41 |
| Odd-rationale | But what was the problem in the first place? | 00:41 |
| nhowell | Still looking into that myself | 00:42 |
| achilles_ | quanta says its to work with html but can you creat wiith out coding? | 00:42 |
| andy_ | hey guys i just installed kubuntu and im having an adept package manager error when i try to update | 00:42 |

| achilles_ | i want to start programming but what language should i learn first theres so many:P | 00:46 |
| tekteen | achilles_: python or C++ | 00:46 |
| U238Willy | that's a loaded question | 00:46 |
| biovore | I vote for lolcode.. its awsome.. :-P | 00:47 |
| achilles_ | linus says c++ sucks:P | 00:47 |
| tekteen | achilles_: python is a scripting language | 00:47 |
| U238Willy | starting out.. i'd go for python as well.. | 00:47 |
| U238Willy | or ruby | 00:47 |
| tekteen | achilles_: and works with QT | 00:47 |
| tekteen | Which means it works on windows and linux | 00:47 |
| andy_ | seems to work now | 00:47 |
| andy_ | thanks a lot | 00:47 |
| achilles_ | oh nice:) | 00:47 |
| tekteen | andy_: np | 00:48 |
| achilles_ | i think theres some python books in my schools library | 00:48 |
| tekteen | achilles_: how old are you? | 00:48 |

| Strangelet | 14 here! :D | 00:49 |
| U238Willy | but if web stuff is your thing.. you might want to look into php | 00:49 |
| tekteen | Strangelet: Just turned 15 | 00:49 |
| achilles_ | lol | 00:49 |
| Strangelet | tekteen: happy birthday! :D | 00:49 |
| tekteen | ty | 00:49 |
| Strangelet | np :P | 00:49 |
| achilles_ | i want to make my own softwre | 00:49 |
| achilles_ | ware | 00:49 |
| tekteen | achilles_: then python is the way to | 00:50 |
| tekteen | go | 00:50 |
| achilles_ | yeah :) | 00:50 |
| tekteen | achilles_: but you can not protect the source | 00:50 |
| achilles_ | :P | 00:51 |
| tekteen | achilles_: it has to be open source (which is not such a bad thing) | 00:51 |
| achilles_ | i know:) | 00:51 |
| achilles_ | you mean that python has to be open source? | 00:51 |
| tekteen | achilles_: python is a scripting lang. | 00:52 |
| achilles_ | but anything you do with it has to be open source? | 00:52 |
| tekteen | achilles_: you send the source and on run time it compiles is | 00:52 |
| achilles_ | oh | 00:52 |
| tekteen | achilles_: that is what a scripting lang is. :-D | 00:52 |
| achilles_ | interesting | 00:53 |
| tekteen | achilles_: scripts run slower. but are good for applications since the libs are all c++ | 00:53 |
| achilles_ | and what is C what type is it | 00:53 |
| tekteen | achilles_: compiled | 00:54 |
| tekteen | achilles_: but harder to work with | 00:54 |
| achilles_ | so you can only have binary with it? | 00:54 |
| tekteen | achilles_: it is also much faster | 00:54 |
| achilles_ | not open? | 00:54 |
| tekteen | achilles_: yes | 00:54 |
| achilles_ | ok im getting the hung of it:P | 00:54 |
| tekteen | that is what compiled means :-) | 00:55 |
| tekteen | achilles_: lets continue in #kubuntu-offtopic | 00:55 |
| achilles_ | comiple is the process of translating source to binary right? | 00:55 |
| tekteen | achilles_: yes | 00:55 |
| tekteen | lets not flood the channel | 00:55 |
| achilles_ | yeah sorry :P | 00:55 |
| tekteen | ... More :-) | 00:55 |

| Jabapyth | draik: so your screen is competely blank? | 01:24 |
| draik | Jabapyth: Yes. | 01:24 |
| Dr_willis | grub --> total blankness --> kdm login ? | 01:24 |
| draik | Dr_willis: Yes | 01:24 |
| Dr_willis | does the consolkes work after you login? | 01:24 |
| Dr_willis | alt-ctrl-f1 and so forth. | 01:24 |
| draik | Dr_willis: Let me check... | 01:24 |
| draik | Yes. | 01:25 |
| draik | BUT | 01:25 |
| draik | Its superimposed | 01:25 |
| Jabapyth | to upgrade to gutsy, do you just do a ful adept upgrade? | 01:25 |
| draik | I am getting a really closeup of the screen | 01:25 |
| Dr_willis | So the framebuffer displayed console is all goofed up. | 01:25 |
| draik | How do I fix that? | 01:25 |
| Dr_willis | Now ya know why i always disable the framebuffer. :) You Might be able to change the framebuffer res and get it working. | 01:25 |
| Jabapyth | draik: oh, this has happened to me before. restart the x server | 01:25 |
| draik | Jabapyth: I'm restarted the X Server many times. Nothing changes | 01:26 |
| Jabapyth | hmm | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | I was thinking i was told that the splash does not rely on the framebuffer. But it might be a resolution issue. | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | Some times ive had differnt X video cards/drivers/ goof up with the framebuffer consoles also. | 01:26 |
| draik | Dr_willis: The video card is ATi. The driver is ati. Try VESA? | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | You want to lose all performace for X, just so you have a purty splash? :) | 01:27 |
| draik | No | 01:27 |
| Dr_willis | you could try the recovery/rescue mode, that normally disables the framebuffer also. | 01:27 |
| regeya | I am so looking forward to kde 4.1. :-D | 01:27 |
| justin_ | why is it that just out of the blue my screent will go black as if changing resilutions then a little text input thing then it will got black then another blinking text thingy. this just happens out of nowhere | 01:28 |
| Dr_willis | see if you can get to the consoles after the recovery mode boot, after starting X with startx, it could be the ATi drivers are fighting with the fremabuffer stuff. | 01:28 |
| draik | Dr_willis: I have 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 | 01:28 |
| draik | Those are my only resolutions | 01:29 |
| draik | Ok | 01:29 |
| draik | So I restart and choose recovery mode? | 01:29 |
| draik | Then go to a console? | 01:29 |
| draik | Then type "startx" | 01:30 |
| draik | And see if that works? | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | revovery mode goes to the console. :) then try startx. and see if that messed up the consoles. | 01:30 |
| draik | Ok | 01:30 |
| draik | Also, I'm using -generic instead of -386, if that matters. | 01:31 |
| draik_ | Dr_willis: Sorry, someone called the house and disconnected me | 01:38 |
| draik_ | How do I get console from within XFCE? | 01:38 |
| draik_ | It seems that it defaults to XFCE when I entered "startx" | 01:39 |
| draik_ | Last thing I saw was your comment about "revovery mode goes to the console. :) then try startx. and see if that messed up the consoles." | 01:40 |

| miketalanca | I have a pretty big problem. After the Xorg update, I had some problems, reinstalled my nVidia drivers, and went to reboot again...and now I cannot boot at all; for a normal boot it freezes at the loading screen right when it says "resuming normal boot" and stops in the middle of booting when I try to boot into recovery mode. | 02:08 |
| ehc | I have moved some programs into the kde Autostart directory but sometimes kde will keep a program running on restart and Autostart will cause a second one to start. Is there a way to have an applicaiton start only if it isn't already running? | 02:09 |

| Dr_willis | draik, hmm.. the console is the terminals on the alt-ctrl-F1 through f6 keys. if you are in Xfce. then you allready got X going. :) | 02:41 |
| draik | Dr_willis: I was in a console from recovery mode. I entered "startx" and I got into XFCE. | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | draik, then you did exactly what you wanted to do. :) | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | startx just starts up X and spawns whatever default desktop ya got set. | 02:43 |
| draik | Dr_willis: Oh. Ok. So how do I change xfce to KDE? | 02:43 |
| Dr_willis | given that its just a test.. it dont matter. You must of selected xfce from gdm/kdm some how proberly a setting file in your home dir. | 02:44 |
| Dr_willis | You could make a .xinitrc file and put in it 'startkde' that may go to kde. | 02:44 |
| Dr_willis | but this is all just for testing out the fremabuffer/splash/video issues. | 02:44 |
| niall | :x | 02:45 |
| draik | Ok | 02:45 |
| niall | so I take it you can't just log out and choose a different session and log back in then? ;x | 02:45 |
| draik | Everything worked. Console was the correct, decent size. How do I get it to do that in normal boot, rather than recovery? | 02:46 |
| Dr_willis | disable the framebuffer Like i alwyas say :) been saying it all day. | 02:46 |
| jabapyth | how do i start the x-server from command-line? | 02:47 |
| jabapyth | or for that matter, kde? | 02:48 |
| Dr_willis | append the 'nofb' option to the kernel= lines in menu.lst or edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and edit the line to be like --> # defoptions=quiet nosplash nofb Then rerun 'sudo update-grub' | 02:48 |
| Dr_willis | jabapyth, 'startx' is the command. | 02:48 |
| jabapyth | thanks | 02:48 |
| jabapyth | bye | 02:48 |
| Dr_willis | You can set what X runs by default by editing the .xinitrc file (make it) | 02:48 |

| draik | xRaich[o]2x: When I did the update-grub, it added 386. I've been using the generic. Should I remove it or does it matter? | 03:55 |
| xRaich[o]2x | jimmy51: install pptp-linux | 03:56 |
| xRaich[o]2x | draik: should be ok | 03:57 |
| draik | xRaich[o]2x: Does it matter which one I use? | 03:57 |
| Jabapyth | how do i downgrade a package? | 03:57 |
| xRaich[o]2x | draik: just pick the right one when booting ;) | 03:57 |
| draik | xRaich[o]2x: Which one would be the right one? | 03:58 |
| xRaich[o]2x | draik: dunno. i don't really know much about the kernel labeling in ubuntu ^^ but i don't really think i should cause any trouble. i'd pick the generic | 03:58 |
| draik | Generic it is | 03:58 |
| niall_ | is there anyway I can edit the appearance of the K Menu? | 03:58 |
| xRaich[o]2x | niall_: you can use a replacement like kbfx or tastymenu | 03:59 |
| xRaich[o]2x | niall_: kbfx is pretty much horrible but some people seem to like it ^^ | 03:59 |
| xRaich[o]2x | i think there also is a kde3 kickoff menu | 03:59 |
| draik | xRaich[o]2x: What now? Anything wrong with my /etc/initramfs-tools/modules file? | 04:00 |
| xRaich[o]2x | draik: nope everything's fluffy | 04:00 |
| draik | So... reboot? | 04:00 |
| xRaich[o]2x | draik: give it a try ^^ | 04:00 |
| * draik reboots, then crosses his fingers | 04:00 | |
| CppIsWeird | I upgraded to 7.10 from 7.04 and now my sound plays these ultra high pitched squeals. Any ideas as to a course of action? | 04:01 |
| xRaich[o]2x | jimmy51: is it working? | 04:01 |
| genii | Mute your microphone? | 04:01 |
| CppIsWeird | not the microphone | 04:01 |
| CppIsWeird | when the computer tries to output sound is when it does that | 04:02 |
| ploo | how do you install and enable SSHD from cli? | 04:02 |
| xRaich[o]2x | CppIsWeird: intel chipset? | 04:02 |
| CppIsWeird | like the boot up sounds, etc. | 04:02 |
| CppIsWeird | yep | 04:02 |
| xRaich[o]2x | reduce cd volume | 04:02 |
| CppIsWeird | eh... ok... | 04:02 |
| xRaich[o]2x | did the trick on my box ^^ | 04:02 |
| spawn57 | pioo apt-get install openssh-server | 04:03 |
| draik | xRaich[o]2x: Ok | 04:03 |
| xRaich[o]2x | draik: works? | 04:03 |
| CppIsWeird | didnt work | 04:03 |
| xRaich[o]2x | hrm | 04:03 |
| draik | xRaich[o]2x: I rebooted. No splash screen. I see text. I wanted to see the splash screen, though. On the bright side. Boot time has gone from ~3 mintues to just under a minute. | 04:03 |
| xRaich[o]2x | draik: seems like your video card doesn't like the splash | 04:04 |
| xRaich[o]2x | CppIsWeird: did you reduce it in alsamixer? | 04:04 |
| draik | Oh well | 04:04 |
| draik | I can live without it | 04:05 |
| CppIsWeird | no, kmix | 04:05 |
| xRaich[o]2x | try that | 04:05 |
| draik | Now I am just wondering if it is conflicting with something else that I am not aware of right now. | 04:05 |
| CppIsWeird | k, one sec. i had a high pitched squeal that did go away when i turned off line-in | 04:05 |
| xRaich[o]2x | draik: dunno. but that was all i could think off right now ^^ | 04:05 |
| draik | xRaich[o]2x: That's fine. It may not produce the end results I wanted, but my boot time is cut down to a third | 04:06 |
| xRaich[o]2x | CppIsWeird: just juggle around with some settings. i had the high pitch problem when alpha testing hardy and CD volume fixed it | 04:06 |
| CppIsWeird | but i dont hear the actual sound | 04:07 |
| xRaich[o]2x | hrm | 04:07 |
| CppIsWeird | like every time im supposed to hear a ding from a messenger, i get a screetch | 04:07 |
| CppIsWeird | i had a buttload of problems getting my sound to work in 7.04, and after like a month of screwing around i finally got it | 04:08 |
| xRaich[o]2x | CppIsWeird: odd.... | 04:08 |
| CppIsWeird | i will sooner go back to windows before going through that crap again. >_< | 04:08 |
| xRaich[o]2x | sad to hear that | 04:08 |
| xRaich[o]2x | maybe you should submit a bug report | 04:08 |
| jimmy51 | xRaich[o]2x: sort of. it's getting further, but the remote end is disconnecting | 04:13 |
| xRaich[o]2x | jimmy51: well that's a far as i can get. don't know much about vpn | 04:14 |
| xRaich[o]2x | seems like a configuration problem | 04:14 |
| jimmy51 | xRaich[o]2x: thanks for the help so far... i'm further than i would be without the proper libraries installed! | 04:14 |
| xRaich[o]2x | np problem.... mind head feels funny... it's 5 am and i'm all out of tea | 04:15 |
| xRaich[o]2x | neeeeeed sleeeeeep | 04:15 |
| niall_ | you were right | 04:15 |
| niall_ | kbfx is horrible | 04:15 |
| xRaich[o]2x | but on the other hand i feel kinda awake... | 04:15 |
| xRaich[o]2x | niall_: it sure is ^^ | 04:16 |
| xRaich[o]2x | niall_: wait for kde4.1. it should have some nice menus ;) | 04:16 |
| niall_ | that's not out till July | 04:16 |
| xRaich[o]2x | it's sure worth waiting for ^^ | 04:17 |
| niall_ | ;D | 04:17 |
| niall_ | I think 4.0.4 is out by April | 04:17 |
| xRaich[o]2x | kde4.0 is pretty much the most amazing DE i've ever used | 04:17 |
| niall_ | so that's probably what they'll include in Kubuntu 8.04 | 04:17 |
| niall_ | yeah | 04:17 |
| niall_ | I liked it, it just ran really slow | 04:18 |
| jimmy51 | xRaich[o]2x: i've found a ubuntu guide for what i want to do: http://tipotheday.com/2007/11/28/connect-to-windows-vpn-server-pptp-with-ubuntu-gutsy/ is that worth trying? | 04:18 |
| niall_ | so I'm holding out for a proper distribution | 04:18 |
| xRaich[o]2x | runs very fast over here | 04:18 |
| ploo | there any problems installing kubuntu 7.10 on lcd labtop with 8600gt nvidia card? | 04:18 |
| ploo | stops when trying to load the install | 04:18 |
| xRaich[o]2x | jimmy51: looks smexy give it a lick ^^ | 04:19 |
| jimmy51 | what? | 04:19 |
| jimmy51 | (if that's linux lingo, i don't know what it means...) | 04:19 |
| ploo | fatal error no screens found | 04:19 |
| xRaich[o]2x | jimmy51: nevermind... i'm weird.. way to tired ^^ | 04:19 |
| xRaich[o]2x | jimmy51: just try the howto you have posted | 04:20 |
| smax | hi | 04:20 |
| smax | i installed Qt 4 but g++ cant see it. | 04:20 |
| xRaich[o]2x | smax: did you install the dev packages? | 04:21 |
| smax | whats to add to my PATH | 04:22 |
| smax | yes | 04:22 |
| ardchoille | smax: KDE4? | 04:22 |
| smax | xRaich[o]2x: sudo apt-get install libqt4-gui libqt4-dev | 04:22 |
| smax | im on feisty fawn | 04:22 |
| smax | are those the correct packages ? | 04:22 |
| xRaich[o]2x | hmm dunno programming in qt4 works like a charm over here. running gutsy | 04:23 |
| xRaich[o]2x | packages look correct to me | 04:23 |
| smax | error: QApplication: No such file or directory | 04:23 |
| xRaich[o]2x | smax: you familiar with building qt4 apps? | 04:24 |
| xRaich[o]2x | qmake etc? | 04:24 |
| smax | i used g++ | 04:24 |
| smax | this is my hellow world. | 04:24 |
| smax | i know C++, just now getting into Qt. | 04:24 |
| xRaich[o]2x | ah ok | 04:24 |
| xRaich[o]2x | qt is different | 04:24 |
| xRaich[o]2x | it extends c++ | 04:24 |
| xRaich[o]2x | so you need some different tools | 04:25 |
| niall_ | nn! | 04:25 |
| === orga is now known as organix | ||

| xRaich[o]2x | and tada it should work | 04:27 |
| smax | ok | 04:27 |
| xRaich[o]2x | at least i think so ^^ | 04:27 |
| xRaich[o]2x | can't think straight anymore :P | 04:28 |
| smax | no erros. but i got a qt.pro | 04:28 |
| smax | rather than an a.out | 04:28 |
| xRaich[o]2x | run qmake | 04:28 |
| smax | now i have a Makefile | 04:29 |
| xRaich[o]2x | run make | 04:29 |
| smax | hello.cpp:6: error: ‘argc’ was not declared in this scope | 04:29 |

| xRaich[o]2x | how does your code look? | 04:29 |
| xRaich[o]2x | nopaste please | 04:29 |
| smax | xRaich[o]2x: thanx pal | 04:30 |
| smax | it worked | 04:30 |
| smax | i have a qt bin file. | 04:31 |
| xRaich[o]2x | congrats ;) | 04:31 |
| smax | xRaich[o]2x: Do you like the designer? | 04:32 |
| xRaich[o]2x | smax: sure | 04:32 |
| smax | i have heard some controversy about it. | 04:32 |
| smax | but nothing speciffic. | 04:32 |
| xRaich[o]2x | way better than layouting by hand | 04:32 |
| xRaich[o]2x | it gives me the results i want. a lot faster than doing it with code | 04:33 |
| ploo | how come when I try to install kubuntu it does not boot the livecd or graphical installer? | 04:34 |
| smax | ploo is your boot device priorit set to cdrom ? | 04:34 |
| ploo | it boots off CD | 04:34 |
| ploo | get the kubuntu thing | 04:34 |
| ploo | for start and shit like that | 04:34 |
| ploo | after that nothing | 04:34 |
| xRaich[o]2x | ploo: check the md5 of the iso you downloaded | 04:35 |
| xRaich[o]2x | and check the cd | 04:35 |
| ploo | nvidia 8000's having problems? | 04:35 |
| xRaich[o]2x | maybe something went wrong | 04:35 |
| ploo | it will do a text based install | 04:35 |
| organix | i'm running nvidia 7800gt working as intended | 04:36 |
| genii | organix: Mine too | 04:36 |
| organix | kde4 works beautifully too ;) | 04:37 |
| xRaich[o]2x | id check the cd first | 04:37 |
| ploo | there iso's with kde4? | 04:37 |
| xRaich[o]2x | yep | 04:37 |
| ploo | url? | 04:37 |
| xRaich[o]2x | kubuntu.org | 04:37 |
| xRaich[o]2x | inside the kde4 announcement | 04:37 |
| organix | It is only a live CD though, correct? | 04:37 |
| biovore | !kde4 | 04:38 |
| 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 | 04:38 |
| xRaich[o]2x | dunno i have kde4 running here. never tested the live cd | 04:38 |
| ploo | NO screens found | 04:38 |
| ploo | is what happens | 04:38 |
| ploo | when trying to boot | 04:38 |
| se7en | ploo: as far as i know the kde4 live cd doesn't even have knetworkmanager | 04:38 |
| xRaich[o]2x | ploo: hmmm i had that error a few years ago... but that was with the closed driver | 04:39 |
| xRaich[o]2x | se7en: run the kde3 knetworkmanager | 04:40 |
| xRaich[o]2x | or use the solidshell | 04:41 |
| xRaich[o]2x | dunno if it's already suited to do the job | 04:41 |
| se7en | well if you can't connect to the internet how you get kde3's networkmanager xRaich[o]2x | 04:41 |
| ploo | kubuntu have 64bit? | 04:41 |
| xRaich[o]2x | se7en: pppoeconf | 04:41 |
| xRaich[o]2x | works for dsl | 04:42 |
| organix | ploo: yes | 04:42 |
| se7en | ok xRaich[o]2x i didn't know that | 04:42 |
| xRaich[o]2x | ploo: yep but has some issues with closed source | 04:42 |
| xRaich[o]2x | no flash, skype and so on | 04:42 |
| ploo | issues like? | 04:43 |
| xRaich[o]2x | see above | 04:43 |
| ploo | do I gain much using 64bit? | 04:43 |
| xRaich[o]2x | not really | 04:43 |
| xRaich[o]2x | for a few things it just means more work | 04:44 |
| xRaich[o]2x | the 32bit needs less care | 04:44 |
| xRaich[o]2x | at least it was that way when i tried it the last time ^^ | 04:44 |

| justin_ | and how do i upgrade the version | 04:47 |
| xRaich[o]2x | i'd say yes | 04:47 |
| justin_ | how do i upgrade to a newer version | 04:48 |
| justin_ | i found it nvm | 04:49 |
| xRaich[o]2x | justin_: check the wiki there should be a howto or something | 04:49 |
| justin_ | its a big button in the package manager | 04:49 |
| justin_ | why is it that out of the blue, my moiniter goes black twice. i think x server is restarting or somthing or at least that what it looks like, ok let me restate why is it that out of nowhere X restarts twice then goes back to normal | 04:53 |

| ubuntu | so there's no textual installer on the desktop livecd? | 05:12 |
| ubuntu | because the icons on the desktop are still not loading | 05:13 |
| ubuntu | and i can't start the installer any other way other than that desktop icon? | 05:13 |
| organix | ubuntu: try browsing your desktop through dolphin or whatever? | 05:14 |
| ubuntu | y'know i thought i tried that... but now i just feel dumb. let's see if it starts it. looks like it's going to | 05:15 |
| organix | if that fails, try your trusty shell | 05:15 |
| ubuntu | well how do i run it from the shell? | 05:15 |
| organix | good question :) | 05:15 |
| organix | ./installer-name | 05:15 |
| organix | maybe | 05:15 |
| ubuntu | hrm, it's slooooow. | 05:16 |
| ubuntu | the window came up | 05:16 |
| ubuntu | but it's still loading | 05:16 |
| organix | out of curiosity, why are you attempting to install on such a slow PC? | 05:16 |
| ubuntu | because XP is atrocious | 05:17 |
| ubuntu | this isn't my machine | 05:17 |
| ubuntu | but i can't stand seeing someone using XP. the livecd has been working fairly well once it's loaded | 05:17 |
| organix | could always try xubuntu if kubuntu fails | 05:18 |
| ubuntu | yea | 05:18 |
| ubuntu | i thought about it | 05:18 |
| organix | i personally don't like xfce | 05:18 |
| ubuntu | yea i used to use it | 05:18 |
| ubuntu | but i found kde was much more mature WM | 05:18 |
| ubuntu | and xfce was actually running worse on the box i was using it on | 05:19 |
| ubuntu | didnt feel lighter at all | 05:19 |
| organix | some argue it's not | 05:19 |
| NeoOokami | Xubuntu's a bit heavier than a regular Xfce desktop. | 05:20 |
| organix | Neo0okami: interesting, I wonder why. | 05:20 |
| NeoOokami | They're quite a bit of Gnome bits still in it to make up where Xfce's lacking. | 05:20 |
| NeoOokami | It's a lot more minimalistic by itself. | 05:21 |
| organix | I see | 05:21 |
| NeoOokami | Though if you're worried about being ultralight you shouldn't be using a desktop environment anyways~ | 05:21 |
| organix | ./agreed | 05:21 |
| ubuntu | well... | 05:21 |
| organix | all my servers run debian | 05:21 |
| ubuntu | i'm setting this up for a soon-to-be ex windows user | 05:21 |
| ubuntu | a console environment is not a viable replacement | 05:22 |
| NeoOokami | Don't get me wrong. I use desktop environments. XD | 05:22 |
| ubuntu | profoX`: is pissing me off! | 05:22 |
| NeoOokami | ubuntu: I meant more a plain window manager and just the apps you want. | 05:22 |
| ubuntu | NeoOokami: plain like what? | 05:22 |
| ubuntu | like flux? | 05:23 |
| NeoOokami | ubuntu: Yeah. Just the window manager. | 05:23 |
| organix | ubuntu: is your PC still loading Dolphin? haha | 05:23 |
| ubuntu | well | 05:23 |
| NeoOokami | Gnome, KDE, and even Xfce load up quite a bit to provide functionality. | 05:23 |
| ubuntu | dolphin works great | 05:23 |
| snarkster | Ive never used Flux. are there any screen shots of it? | 05:23 |
| ubuntu | konquerer works great | 05:23 |
| ubuntu | NeoOokami: what do you suggest then? | 05:24 |
| organix | google: fluxbox screenshots | 05:24 |
| NeoOokami | For a former windows user I suggest Gnome or KDE. | 05:24 |
| ubuntu | ja | 05:24 |
| ubuntu | i'm goin with kde | 05:24 |
| ubuntu | or at least trying to | 05:24 |
| ubuntu | so i have to download the alternate CD to install with the text installer? | 05:24 |
| NeoOokami | I like both honestly. Though my presence here should indicate my preference. | 05:24 |
| ubuntu | that is lame | 05:24 |
| ubuntu | NeoOokami: well you mentioned a ' | 05:25 |
| ubuntu | plain window manager' | 05:25 |
| genii | Please.Someone put me out of this profoX misery | 05:25 |
| ubuntu | seriously | 05:25 |
| NeoOokami | If you're worried about being ultra light. | 05:25 |
| ubuntu | can someone ban him for like 20 mins? | 05:25 |

| LamerMan | ok, thanks. | 05:41 |
| organix | or, have fun with pipes ^^ | 05:41 |
| LamerMan | organix could you please make an example? i try program1 && program2, is that wrong? | 05:48 |

| hydrogen | LamerMan: no | 05:48 |
| hydrogen | LamerMan: you can lauch a program in the background but adding & to it | 05:48 |
| organix | LamerMan: should work fine... | 05:48 |
| hydrogen | organix: no, it won't | 05:48 |
| hydrogen | that will lauch one program, if it ends successfully it will launch the next | 05:49 |
| hydrogen | program1 & launches it and puts it in the background | 05:49 |
| LamerMan | hydrogen like &program1 ? | 05:49 |
| LamerMan | or program1& or program1 & ? :) | 05:49 |
| se7en | LamerMan: kwrite& kate& | 05:49 |
| LamerMan | ok thanks. | 05:49 |
| LamerMan | it works, but now the shell blocks until all the programs exit (and redirects stdout or all programs to the shell). How could i make it not block completely? | 05:59 |
| LamerMan | i type pr1& \n pr2& \n | 05:59 |
| genii | Why are you putting in the newline? | 06:00 |
| LamerMan | should i make it in one single line? | 06:00 |
| se7en | kwrite& kate& | 06:00 |
| hydrogen | err | 06:02 |
| hydrogen | newlines are fine | 06:02 |
| hydrogen | you may need a space before the & | 06:02 |
| AdmPaul | Somehow I got both Synaptic and Adept package managers installed on my system. I can remove Synaptic without a problem, correct? | 06:02 |
| LamerMan | i'm new to linux :) shell does not block until the programs exit but it won't return until i press enter in the shell. If i put that script in rc.local to launch programs automaticall, won't it block? :) | 06:03 |
| hydrogen | no | 06:03 |
| ardchoille | AdmPaul: Yes, it's just a gui front-end to APT | 06:03 |
| LamerMan | ok | 06:04 |

Maube rc.local start before x-server or some other stuff that prevents java from starting proreply? where is it better to start it (propably rc.local is not the best place)? | 06:33 |
| LamerMan | * i place the string "java -jar my.jar&" in rc.local | 06:33 |
| Lynoure | LamerMan: what kind of application is it? if it requires gui, it cannot get it at that stage yet | 06:35 |
| LamerMan | yeah, it need gui | 06:35 |
| LamerMan | *needs | 06:36 |

| len | If you have a module that lucks up your system on boot, how do you remove that module from the modules list if that module causes your system to lock before you can get to the file to edit it? Is there a grub cheat code to skip loading most most modules or something so you can to the file do disable it? I tried recovery mode, but it still loaded the module. | 07:08 |

| makers_mark | i'm running ubuntu 7.10 and i set up my webcam to work with skype and kopete but it just won't work for another admin account. | 07:10 |
| crimsun | len: you could try using init=/bin/bash | 07:13 |
| crimsun | len: at that point you could remount / rw, edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, save it, sync, remount / ro, and reboot | 07:14 |

| arrrghhh | installed about 10 maybe unique machines | 07:40 |
| arrrghhh | and this one has been the worst... other than that dell vostro which failed completely. | 07:41 |
| arrrghhh | so can i save the install? i really don't want to have to go thru that again. | 07:41 |
| JoshOvki | ive installed it on about 20 machines, at first i had problems, but not i have vert little | 07:41 |

| arrrghhh | they simply would not install | 07:44 |
| arrrghhh | wouldn't really give a reason, just couldn't | 07:44 |

| JoshOvki | sorry arrrrg i misinturprited something | 07:48 |
| zorglu_ | q. when i unlog from ssh, it frequently freezes. where should i look to be able to fix it ? | 07:48 |
| arrrghhh | Lynoure: i just want to install grub | 07:49 |
| arrrghhh | i have a complete install, but no bootloader | 07:49 |

| zorglu_ | Lynoure: nope, the client ssh. and only when i unlog | 07:51 |
| zorglu_ | Lynoure: not all the time tho. sometime it works without issue | 07:51 |
| Lynoure | arrrghhh: your pastebin did not contain anything about the errors you got... | 07:51 |
| zorglu_ | Lynoure: unfortunatly i cant figure out what cause it. all that is over LAN between 2 ubuntu i386 | 07:52 |
| arrrghhh | Lynoure: sorry http://pastebin.com/m39d50fc8 | 07:52 |
| arrrghhh | and the error when installing kubuntu was just 'grub could not be installed' - it didn't give me any explanation as to why. lilo did the same thing, just said it could not be installed. | 07:53 |
| JoshOvki | this using the same CD both times? | 07:54 |
| Lynoure | zorglu_: If the remote hangs up on you, instead of you user logging out, then it is quite normal for it to hang for a bit... I guess you could strace the process while it has frozen, but often these 'sometimes' errors are timeconsuming to look into | 07:54 |
| zorglu_ | Lynoure: ok. this is not the usual 'timeout' issue. this one i got it fixed by configuration :) this is only when i do ctrl-d. then it stay frozen forever (well at least 5min, which is the most i have waited before doing killall ssh) | 07:55 |
| zorglu_ | Lynoure: ok i will do strace next time. btw i asked a friend of mine and he experiences the same issue | 07:56 |
| arrrghhh | Lynoure: so was that the wrong way to install grub? | 07:57 |
| Lynoure | arrrghhh: not really, if you want to do it manually... I guess you had reasons for that | 07:58 |
| arrrghhh | well | 07:59 |
| arrrghhh | it didn't work | 07:59 |
| arrrghhh | is there any other way to save the install? | 07:59 |
| Lynoure | arrrghhh: what do you mean by "save the install"? make a clone of the whole disk, rescue the effort that has gone into installing, something else? | 08:00 |
| arrrghhh | no no... like the install is done, it just needs a bootloader | 08:00 |
| Lynoure | It's weird if it did not put it there itself... | 08:00 |
| arrrghhh | it tried to | 08:01 |
| arrrghhh | but gave me an error | 08:01 |
| Lynoure | Was that this Error 15 then too, or something else? | 08:01 |
| arrrghhh | said it couldn't do it... i really wish i knew why. i'm wondering if this hdd is messed up, i don't know | 08:01 |
| === joshovki is now known as JoshOvki | ||
| arrrghhh | well the error i received when the actual grub installer tried from the kubuntu install it just said it couldn't do it, this is a fatal error you'll need to manually start linux etc | 08:02 |

| jussi01 | Chin1: ok, please calm down, and tell me exactly what you have done. | 08:52 |
| arrrghhh | i still get an error 15: file missing | 08:52 |
| icewaterman | Chin1: for your synaptics touchpad try to handle it as a normal ps2 device for starters. and for the nvidia graphics card: you rely on binary drivers from nvidia - bug them, noone here can help you. another approach is to try the nv driver (it is open source but offers no 3d acceleration). | 08:53 |
| arrrghhh | that was obnoxious | 08:53 |
| arrrghhh | anyone have any ideas? | 08:54 |
| arrrghhh | i figured supergrub could handle it, but no go. same result. | 08:54 |
| jussi01 | arrrghhh: whats the prob? | 08:54 |
| icewaterman | arrrghhh: same here. | 08:55 |
| Chin1 | well, i fully installed the UBUNTU, after that the OS is runnign under the lowest Resolution, i guess from the Mother Board Video Card, not my actual video card...!!! | 08:55 |
| blaz | hi | 08:55 |
| jussi01 | Chin1: are you running ubuntu or kubuntu? | 08:55 |
| icewaterman | Chin1: manually edit xorg.conf to include your graphics card. google for how to do that. | 08:55 |
| blaz | is this ok that kdebase-bin-kde3 will be removed after I have apt-get install kde4-core ? | 08:55 |
| icewaterman | Chin1: another hint: disable onboard graphics in systems bios. | 08:55 |
| Chin1 | I RELOAD the Synaptic Package Manager to see if it would install the NEW/GOOD driver for my video card, and NOTHING.. | 08:55 |
| JoshOvki | arrrghhh: apparently deleteing the savedefault line is ment to sort it out? | 08:56 |
| arrrghhh | uhm the kubuntu installer failed at the grub installation. lilo wouldn't go either. didn't give me an error just "i can't do this" and now when i'm trying to install grub after everything else is already installed, i get the same error | 08:56 |
| arrrghhh | JoshOvki, deleting what savedefault? | 08:56 |
| JoshOvki | a line in your menu.lst | 08:56 |
| icewaterman | Chin1: you installed ubuntu - you are in the wrong channel, kubuntu does not use synaptic package manager, try #ubuntu instead | 08:56 |
| Chin1 | after that went to nVIDIA, check their DRIVER for Linux 32, downloaded it, tryed to installed manually in the Terminal, using the SUDO...and it runs, but STOPS and gave me an error...!!! | 08:57 |
| icewaterman | arrrghhh: do an md5sum check on the iso you downloaded | 08:57 |
| Chin1 | thats what i did...!!! After that I got stock...!!! | 08:57 |
| arrrghhh | icewaterman, already did, passes | 08:57 |
| JoshOvki | arrrghhh: i cant see how it can work. take a look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=439266 | 08:57 |
| icewaterman | Chin1: -> #ubuntu | 08:58 |
| arrrghhh | so that's fstab i'm editing? | 08:58 |
| arrrghhh | lemme see | 08:58 |
| icewaterman | arrrghhh: did you choose some fancy filesystem for / ? | 08:59 |
| arrrghhh | ext3? | 08:59 |
| icewaterman | arrrghhh: ok, thats not fancy | 08:59 |
| icewaterman | should be fine | 08:59 |
| arrrghhh | is there a way to boot a rescue mode from the livecd? | 08:59 |
| arrrghhh | linux rescue or rescue don't work | 08:59 |
| icewaterman | arrrghhh: you could always try knoppix | 08:59 |
| arrrghhh | yea i think i have a cd sittin around here | 09:00 |
| arrrghhh | sheesh this is way more trouble than i've ever had with ubuntu | 09:00 |
| JoshOvki | install ubuntu and do apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 09:00 |
| arrrghhh | i don't see how an fstab entry prevents supergrub from installing grub on my drive... | 09:06 |
| arrrghhh | uhm my /boot/grub directory is empty | 09:11 |
| arrrghhh | can i install grub on an installed o/s from knoppix? | 09:11 |
| icewaterman | arrrghhh: of course | 09:11 |
| arrrghhh | how? | 09:12 |
| icewaterman | knoppix comes with grub, so just look into the grub manual how to install it. you will of course get an old grub version this way, but it'll work and you can always replace it with the one from ubuntu later | 09:12 |
| arrrghhh | i couldn't install knoppix with supergrub | 09:12 |

| jussi01 | arrrghhh: I know, but its the same proceedure :) | 09:14 |

| la | how about recompiling the kernel? | 09:52 |
| arrrghhh | hw isn't there a way to opt to simply not use the kwallet service? | 09:53 |
| llutz | hw: stop that service in kwallet settings menu | 09:53 |
| jussi01 | hw: just set the kwallet pw to nothing | 09:53 |
| la | i don't think that kwallet is the major resource eater in kubuntu | 09:53 |

| llutz | type "passwd" and change it | 09:55 |
| arrrghhh | that's what i thought | 09:55 |
| arrrghhh | i don't need to sudo -i or anything | 09:55 |
| arrrghhh | or sudo su - or whatever | 09:55 |
| llutz | just do, don't ask | 09:56 |
| arrrghhh | ok that's the most retarded statment i've ever heard | 09:56 |

| ksweeley | Hello, I am new to Kubuntu and I have just installed the 64-bit version and I am trying to install Creative's 64-bit driver for my Sound Blaster X-Fi and I keep getting "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details." Can anyone help? | 10:07 |
| MaskedOne | Basically using a 64-bit OS is asking for trouble, untill the technology is more developed and the software as well | 10:08 |
| ksweeley | Well, Creative only has a 64 bit driver for Linux for the Sound Blaster X-Fi card. | 10:08 |
| ksweeley | I don't understand why Creative didn't release a 32-bit driver for Linux for the Sound Blaster X-Fi. | 10:09 |
| hw | Ok, now I have set "load-on-demand" of the kde wallet service to disabled and now kopete doesn't start anymore. Any ideas how to get rid of kwallet service and keep kopete working? =) | 10:10 |
| ksweeley | So, does anyone know why this error is popping up: "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"? | 10:11 |
| llutz | MaskedOne: i was referring to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/183969 which doesn't matter if you use kubuntu or ubuntu. But be happy if you haven't had any trouble (it's fixed right now) | 10:11 |
| llutz | ksweeley: you need to install build-essential | 10:11 |
| ksweeley | And where can I install build-essential? | 10:11 |
| llutz | sudo aptitude install build-essential | 10:12 |
| ksweeley | Okay, just installed build-essential and tried installing the drivers again, now I'm getting "make: *** [copy_modules] Error 1 Installation Unsuccessful" | 10:18 |
| llutz | ksweeley: you used "sudo make install"? | 10:19 |
| ksweeley | No. | 10:19 |
| Creationist | This may not be a Linux-related question, but I have recieved a few threatening emails and posts to my blog by a certain IP address. Nothing bad enough to go to the police with, but I'm sure it's someone that I know. Running a WHOIS on the IP places them in my state, but is there any way to narrow it down any further than that? | 10:20 |
| ksweeley | Like I said, I am completely new to Kubuntu. | 10:20 |
| llutz | then use it, you need root-rights to install modules | 10:20 |
| llutz | ksweeley: what are you trying to install? | 10:20 |
| ksweeley | Drivers for my Sound Blaster X-Fi card. | 10:21 |
| llutz | is that that card with the worst linux-support of all? ;) good luck | 10:21 |
| ksweeley | I've extracted the files and included is a "installer" file. | 10:21 |
| llutz | ksweeley: there should be a readme-file aswell | 10:22 |
| dhq | how do i recover my partition | 10:22 |
| ksweeley | Yes, it's "Readme.txt" | 10:22 |
| blaz | how I should install nvidia restricted drivers in hardy ? In system settings, under advanced tab, there is no option for restricted drivers | 10:24 |
| ksweeley | Okay, interesting, I tried using "installer --with-alsainc=" and now the installer states "Installation Complete" Does this mean that if I reboot Kubuntu, sound should work? | 10:25 |
| ardchoille | blaz: Hardy support in #ubuntu+1 | 10:27 |

| extremis | hi... I am a n00b and I need help getting kde4 to use the kwin effects like shadows/translucency/expose/etc and I am using vmware fusion and running the kubuntu kde4 livecd installed version of kubuntu.. none of the effects are working and I am curious what steps I have missed | 12:16 |
| extremis | all the effects are enabled in system settings -> display | 12:16 |
| extremis | I'm guessing that compiz isn't enabled... but I assumed that the livecd would install everything I needed | 12:17 |

| ardchoille | extremis: If all the kde4 support takes place in #kubuntu-kde4, why do you think you have a better chance of support here? | 12:31 |
| extremis | I'm not convinced that everyone in here is running kde4 | 12:31 |
| extremis | s/kde4/kde3 | 12:31 |
| |Quest| | extremis whats the problem | 12:32 |
| extremis | I'm unfamiliar with the requirements of the livecd version of kubuntu/kde4 to enable the compiz like effects (translucency/shadows/expose/etc) | 12:32 |
| |Quest| | try #kde | 12:32 |
| extremis | by default it is lacking those features it seems | 12:32 |
| extremis | and the site setup doesn't include steps to enable those features... I have enabled them in system settings -> display with no results | 12:33 |
| extremis | so, I am assuming it is something simple like I am not running the right Xserve | 12:33 |
| extremis | or that my hardware just lacks the ability since I am running inside of vmware fusion | 12:33 |
| extremis | does the livecd, upon install, configure the Xserve to support those features? | 12:34 |
| extremis | or do I need to install a new Xserve, or install additional packages? | 12:34 |
| extremis | quest? | 12:36 |
| extremis | these questions are primarilly focused around the kubuntu/kde4 livecd recently released | 12:37 |
| extremis | well, I guess I am someone else's problem then... this channel isn't as friendly as expected | 12:39 |
| |Quest| | try #kde :) | 12:40 |
| extremis | they try to pass the buck just like you | 12:40 |
| extremis | they of course tell me to come here | 12:40 |
| |Quest| | you are just out of luck. nothing else is wrong | 12:40 |
| |Quest| | #kubuntu-offtopic ? | 12:40 |
| extremis | so you are telling me that it installs and enables everything I need by default? | 12:40 |
| |Quest| | iam new too | 12:41 |
| extremis | because I do know that the effects were disabled under the display settings, I am assuming that more needs to be configured | 12:41 |
| extremis | quest, ahhh... well that makes sense | 12:41 |
| extremis | the documentation on the livecd is pretty much nonexistent | 12:41 |
| extremis | "install the livecd" "good luck" | 12:41 |

| IanCal | then says there is a new version to upgrade to, 7.10 (which I'd installed), tries to upgrade to that and fails in exactly the same way | 14:58 |
| IanCal | this is going straight from install to upgrade, without changing or doing anything | 14:59 |

| mefisto__ | it should be version 2.0.0.11 | 15:00 |
| llutz | mefisto__: .6 is from cd | 15:00 |
| ardchoille | smeril: Ok, first of all use pastebin in the future. secondly, the first time I had you run that you said output was nothing | 15:01 |
| ardchoille | !pastebin > smeril | 15:01 |
| tekteen | IanCal: take the cd out of your sources.list | 15:01 |
| llutz | he | 15:01 |
| smeril | can i update without get new cd | 15:01 |
| llutz | ardchoille: output was empty, he has .se language Installerad != installed | 15:01 |
| jckl | install newer version of firefox | 15:01 |
| ardchoille | llutz: Ah, good catch that | 15:01 |
| IanCal | tekteen, thanks will try that. Why would that break things though? Surely it couldn't be finding updates on the cd, since they are all already installed | 15:02 |
| tekteen | IanCal: no idea | 15:02 |
| IanCal | *why would/how could (sorry) | 15:02 |
| IanCal | ah | 15:02 |
| IanCal | fair enough :) | 15:02 |
| tekteen | IanCal: I think it is because the cd is first | 15:02 |
| ardchoille | smeril: You are on Gutsy, but is this an upgrade from feisty? | 15:03 |
| IanCal | but the packages are the same version as the installed ones. Anyway, what's weirder to me is that it can detect that one package upgrade would break something else, but only AFTER it's downloaded 240 megs of files | 15:03 |
| smeril | whats the difference? | 15:04 |
| llutz | i guess he has installed from CD without network, so only CD is activated in sources.list | 15:04 |
| IanCal | seems like it's not checking the dependencies correctly | 15:04 |
| ardchoille | smeril: I am wondering how you ended up with firefox 2.0.0.6 if you just installed it on Gutsy, the current firefox in the repos for Gutsy is 2.0.0.11 | 15:05 |
| smeril | is there a problem with that? | 15:05 |
| ardchoille | smeril: Is this an upgrade from feisty or did you try to manually install firefox from the firefox site or soemthing? | 15:06 |
| IanCal | anyone have a similar problem when they've done a fresh install before? | 15:06 |
| smeril | before i went here to irc i tried the website and diffrent comands from internet instructions | 15:07 |
| llutz | smeril: do you have unrestricted online-access? please paste your /etc/apt/sources.list to pastebin | 15:07 |
| ardchoille | smeril: I thought so | 15:07 |
| llutz | !pastebin | 15:07 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 15:07 |
| mefisto__ | IanCal: I had a similar problem, but that was upgrading from feisty to gutsy. apt-get dist-upgrade fixed it | 15:08 |

| jckl | smeril: view the contents of /etc/apt/sources.lst and then open the pastebin link in a web browser and copy the contents of the file and paste in the browser | 15:12 |
| ardchoille | smeril: Go to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org in your web browser and paste your /etc/apt/sources.list there, not in the channel | 15:12 |
| neopsyche | the window hides itself? | 15:12 |
| smeril | i will try | 15:12 |
| ardchoille | smeril: Perhaps you would be more comfortable in a support channel where folks speak your native language? | 15:13 |
| mefisto__ | smeril: kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list will open the file in file editor. copy the text and paste it in pastebin | 15:14 |
| smeril | what do i go after | 15:14 |
| smeril | where do i go after | 15:14 |
| ardchoille | smeril: If you have pasted it into the web pastebin, give us the url | 15:14 |

| vivek | what is compiz fusion?? | 15:17 |
| ian__ | hey, I was IanCal here a few mins ago. Just wanted to say thanks for the suggestion of "apt-get dist-upgrade". Works fine now | 15:17 |
| tekteen | vivek: search it on youtube | 15:18 |
| tekteen | !youtube | 15:18 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about youtube - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 15:18 |
| smeril | does that help? | 15:19 |
| tekteen | lol | 15:19 |
| ian__ | have no idea why adept wasn't able to sort the problem out, or present me with a better message than "Something has failed" and an exit. My only input to dist-upgrade was to say "install new version" which should have been done anyway by the updater | 15:19 |
| ian__ | shame, because (k)ubuntu is supposed to be new user friendly. Not so friendly if doing recommended updates after installing fails and stops you from using apt until you know another command to run | 15:20 |
| llutz | smeril use "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" from a console and try to make it looking like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52614/ | 15:20 |
| ian__ | anyway, thanks for the help :D | 15:20 |
| applehypnosis | alison: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements | 15:21 |
| smeril | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52616/ | 15:22 |
| mefisto__ | smeril: your all sources are commented out. You can try uncommenting them yourself, or go to the source-o-matic site given a few minutes ago and create a new sources.list file | 15:22 |
| ian__ | when using su/sudo/similar, how long do you stay logged in for? | 15:23 |
| jckl | ian did you build essentials? | 15:23 |

| vivek | how to install compiz fusion in Kubuntu 7.10 | 15:23 |
| ardchoille | !compiz | vivek | 15:23 |
| ubotu | vivek: 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 | 15:23 |
| llutz | smeril: or just save my paste and copy it to /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:23 |
| ian__ | I haven't had to retype my password since I ran the updater a while ago, been able to change system settings and run kate with root permissions | 15:24 |
| mefisto__ | smeril: remove the # AFTER every line that says Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify | 15:24 |
| ian__ | jckl: All I did was install from cd, then run the updater. Then it failed :) | 15:24 |
| jckl | i couldnt compile anything at first | 15:24 |

| fannagoganna | hi, which KDE4 packages are in kubuntu -- kdenetwork, kdepim, etc.? | 15:25 |

| ian__ | jckl: I didnt need to compile anything | 15:25 |
| ardchoille | fannagoganna: kde4 support is in #kubuntu-kde4 | 15:25 |
| ian__ | jckl: it's all fine now | 15:25 |
| ian__ | thanks though | 15:25 |
| ian__ | jckl: the fix was sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 15:26 |
| jckl | ian: sudo aptitude install build-essential | 15:26 |
| jckl | aw | 15:26 |
| jckl | ok | 15:26 |
| jckl | everything failed for me until i did those | 15:26 |
| ian__ | I'm really quite concerned about this security problem though. | 15:27 |
| llutz | smeril: join #kubuntu-se and let the people there explain you what to do in swedish. i guess it's easier for all | 15:27 |
| smeril | lluts where is your paste | 15:27 |
| smeril | ? | 15:27 |
| llutz | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52614/ | 15:27 |
| smeril | just tell me again how to acces the source list | 15:28 |
| smeril | and i will try copy and paste | 15:29 |
| llutz | smeril: save my paste to a file 8make sure you get all lines) and copy that file to /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:29 |
| ian__ | hang on, I can open kate as "sudo kate" and edit system files without a password, but I had to enter a password to copy a file? | 15:29 |
| smeril | acces denied | 15:30 |
| mefisto__ | ian__: sudo asks for a password, unless you've already entered it in the last few minutes | 15:30 |
| llutz | smeril: sudo cp sile-you-saved.txt /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:30 |
| llutz | file | 15:30 |
| smeril | file not found | 15:31 |
| ian__ | mefisto__: I know, but I hadn't entered it for about 10-15 minutes. I can still open kate with sudo, but I couldn't copy. I've tried using different konsole windows but it didn't make a difference | 15:32 |
| jckl | smeril: sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:32 |
| smeril | what do i do after i saved | 15:33 |
| jckl | file -> quit | 15:33 |
| smeril | after that | 15:33 |
| ian__ | is there a way of changing the length of time you have between re-entering the password? | 15:33 |
| ian__ | 1-2 minutes seems like a good time, 20 seems very excessive | 15:34 |
| mefisto__ | smeril: sudo apt-get update, then (re)install firefox again | 15:35 |
| ian__ | and could give rise to security problems where you don't know that a script is running something in superuser mode | 15:35 |
| Tallen | Any way to make Konversation have a transparent background? | 15:35 |
| ian__ | I'm suprised that you don't have to re-enter the password when switching apps, too | 15:36 |
| smeril | smeril@sm-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get update | 15:36 |

| jckl | unzip it | 15:36 |
| ian__ | that seems like a glaring problem to me | 15:36 |
| jckl | erm wrong window lol | 15:36 |
| jel | Tallen: probably only by using a compositing window manager that knows how to do that with any window. KDE4 might have a version of konversation available which does it, but probably not yet. | 15:37 |
| ian__ | back in a bit, must kill x | 15:37 |
| Tallen | jel: oh, I just noticed I can in Xchat but not in Konversation. | 15:37 |

| ubotu | Patches are files describing the changes in code to achieve some results. There are a number of ways these can be produced, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems may provide some useful guidelines. | 15:52 |
| nuxil | jimmy51, example of use.. cd /usr/src/linux ; patch -p0 new-patch | 15:53 |
| nuxil | that if the patch is in /usr/src/linux | 15:53 |
| nuxil | but look up man patch | 15:53 |

| nuxil | *whereis | which | 16:00 |
| hola | nuxil: of course, but i would like to edit it with terminal | 16:01 |
| cef | hola: not sure about the file, but if you right-click on the K, you'll get an option for the menu editor | 16:01 |

| jimmy51 | should this do anything? sudo patch -p01 kubuntu_08_ppp_support.patch | 16:05 |
| jckl | jimmy extract the patch | 16:05 |
| jckl | then use patch -E -p01 < path i believe | 16:05 |
| jimmy51 | jckl: it just looks like a text file or something... nothing to extract | 16:06 |
| cef | a .patch file is text | 16:06 |
| jckl | "patch -E -p01 < path" path is the path of the files | 16:06 |
| jckl | you need to get the source files for the patch | 16:06 |
| cef | but you need to redirect the file into patch | 16:06 |
| jckl | cef can better help i bet | 16:06 |
| jimmy51 | here's what i've got: sudo patch -E -p01 kubuntu_08_ppp_support.patch | 16:07 |
| cef | but you need the source code for the app you intend to patch first | 16:07 |
| jimmy51 | cef: whoa | 16:07 |
| nuxil | indeed | 16:08 |
| cef | jimmy51: UNLESS it's patching a config file | 16:08 |
| cef | where did you get this patch jimmy51 | 16:08 |
| cef | ?? | 16:08 |
| jimmy51 | cef: here's the bug page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/knetworkmanager/+bug/151867 | 16:08 |
| nuxil | you can also cd dir ; cat new-patch | patch -p0 | 16:08 |
| jimmy51 | cef: there's a link on there to patches and fixed versions or whatever. i don't know what any of it means, so i'm trying to learn how to apply the guy's fixes | 16:09 |
| jimmy51 | cef: so i don't have to boot to XP to get work done (need to vpn and rdp into work) | 16:09 |
| cef | ok.. that patch is a source code fix | 16:11 |
| jimmy51 | cef: should i just give up and stick with XP? | 16:13 |
| cef | jimmy51: You might be better off downloading zanfur's precompiled package: http://www.zanfur.com/knetworkmanager/network-manager-kde_0.2ubuntu1-0ubuntu5~pptp_i386.deb | 16:13 |
| jimmy51 | cef: that sounds better. it's a deb, so i can use package installer, right? | 16:14 |
| mefisto__ | that's much easier | 16:14 |
| cef | download that, and then run "sudo dpkg -i network-manager-kde_0.2ubuntu1-0ubuntu5~pptp_i386.deb" or yeah, use the package installer | 16:14 |
| cef | but remember: you're using someone elses packages, so if it breaks you're sort of on your own. chances are, it'll work fine. | 16:15 |
| cef | note: there is only a .i386 package that I can see, so if you're using x86-64 packages/install, you won't be able to use that | 16:15 |
| jimmy51 | cef: ok. i figured i could trust these guys, since the package manager is on the post | 16:16 |
| mefisto__ | cef: is that the right link? or is it the knetworkmanger one? | 16:16 |
| cef | jimmy51: most likely trust it, and it's signed by the guy.. and afaik robin (zanfur) knows what he's doing. | 16:17 |
| cef | jimmy51: I don't forsee a problem, but better you know than me not warning you at least | 16:17 |
| cef | ahh, you might need http://www.zanfur.com/knetworkmanager/knetworkmanager_0.2ubuntu1-0ubuntu5~pptp_all.deb as well | 16:18 |
| jimmy51 | cef: ok, thanks for the warning. | 16:18 |

| ubotu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 16:29 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 16:29 |
| jel | subopt: same way you upgrade anything else: install the lastest package using adept (or synaptic or aptitude) | 16:29 |
| subopt | ubotu: thanks | 16:29 |

| === cinemagoo is now known as Respatix | ||
| g2g591 | azlon: if the packages on the cd are upto date and the cd is in your sources, apt will prefer the cd | 17:27 |

| === serge is now known as sea4ever | ||
| g2g591 | azlon: if you have a kubuntu cd with upto date packages and added it to your sources , useing apt-cdrom, synaptic, or adept, and the packages on it are up to date, apt will use the cd | 17:29 |
| azlon | nuxil: i removed all of the gnome stuff and want to install KDE from a cd i downloaded yesterday | 17:29 |
| azlon | i just commented out everything except the CD... we will see how this works | 17:30 |
| stdin | azlon: only works with the alternate cd, not the desktop cd | 17:30 |
| azlon | what??? | 17:30 |
| azlon | crap! | 17:30 |
| azlon | ugh | 17:31 |
| azlon | guess i will just download it | 17:31 |
| g2g591 | azlon: no, stdin is wrong | 17:31 |
| azlon | erm... | 17:31 |
| azlon | ill try it and see what happens | 17:32 |
| g2g591 | azlon: the packages are on the reguler cd too, otherwise what would the cd install from? | 17:32 |
| bob__ | anyone know why my gdeskletts wont work it tries to come up then just dies | 17:32 |

| bob__ | oops | 17:34 |
| g2g591 | bob_: different set of apps, | 17:34 |
| stdin | g2g591: there is an alternate cd for hardy too, but it's probably quicker to install kubuntu-desktop over the internet than downloading the CD (if your system has internet that is) | 17:34 |
| g2g591 | stdin: i know | 17:34 |
| bob__ | what is the dif. kubuntu and ubuntu? | 17:35 |
| g2g591 | stdin: there are some packages on the cd, i notice build-essential for one, and glibc, | 17:35 |

| bob__ | o ok | 17:37 |
| bob__ | i am a noob | 17:38 |
| g2g591 | bob_: we have a start menu,-like thing and stuff, see kde.org for some screenshots | 17:38 |
| bob__ | o so it is more like windows? | 17:39 |
| jckl | i have both gnome and kde installed | 17:39 |
| JoshOvki | same here | 17:39 |
| jckl | you can choose what one you want to load at login | 17:39 |

| jckl | also i think using a command | 17:39 |

| nuxil | JoshOvki, to set in monitor mode. turn the iface down and use tcpdump or a sniffer tool. | 17:57 |

| artur_ | Hello folks. I have a problem that is a message appearing when I try to do somethings like, when save a .odt , when i want to attribute a icon to a file and other things that i don't remember now. The message is the following (i will translate to english cause my kubuntu is in another language) I was not possible to find the MIME type ; (in the next line) application/octet-stream ...and a OK button. How could i make this message stop | 18:02 |
| artur_ | appearing. It appears when i do many kind of thins. | 18:02 |
| nuxil | RickKnight, remove the .kde dir.. but that will remove all your custom setup.. but it might not be a kde issue.. check the X log for erros first | 18:03 |
| RickKnight | nuxil: I did remove the .kde directory. Same problem. Like I said, a new user works fine. | 18:03 |
| nuxil | RickKnight, any errors in X org log ? | 18:04 |
| Greenery | RickKnight: have you updated recently? | 18:04 |
| nuxil | grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 18:05 |
| nuxil | RickKnight, you can also remove the .Xauthority file in you home dir | 18:06 |
| RickKnight | nuxil:I have a failed to initialize GLX | 18:06 |
| nuxil | that should not cause the X to shut down | 18:06 |
| Greenery | RickKnight: try updating first, there was an issue with the last update for xserver-xorg-core | 18:07 |
| RickKnight | nuxil:I didn't think GLX would. | 18:07 |
| RickKnight | nuxil: In Xorg.0.log.old I have a Fatal error sig 11 at the bottom. | 18:08 |
| nuxil | RickKnight, do as Greenery says, apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade | 18:08 |
| RickKnight | OK, I'll try the update. Looks like I need to reboot now. Locked up. | 18:10 |
| nuxil | RickKnight, if that fails.. try a older xorg server,, you will most likely find it in /var/cache/apt/archives/ if you didnt clean your cache | 18:10 |
| nuxil | erm | 18:10 |
| nuxil | to late | 18:10 |
| RickKnight | OK. But if the problem is Xorg, why am I able to create a new user in console and then use the new user without any problems? | 18:11 |
| artur_ | Message appearing: It was not possible to find the MIME type ; (in the next line) application/octet-stream ...and a OK button. How could i make this message stop appearing? | 18:12 |
| Greenery | RickKnight: did you have any program on autostart? | 18:13 |
| sperlo | hello all, having a bit of a problem with connecting my phone. ask here? or someplace else? | 18:14 |
| RickKnight | Greenery: Nothing in autostart, that I remember, but I'll check. Last night I had a problem with OO.org, and tried to log off and then back on. That's when it started. | 18:14 |
| nuxil | RickKnight, ls .kde/Autostart/ -la | 18:14 |
| nuxil | RickKnight, if you removed your .kde then there should not be any autostart of any app | 18:15 |
| Greenery | RickKnight: the last update for xerver-xorg-core breaks java apps, so OO.org might caused it | 18:16 |
| nuxil | RickKnight, did you try apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade | 18:16 |
| Greenery | RickKnight: upgrade your kubuntu and try to use your old user again, see if it loads this time | 18:16 |
| stevec_ | join #ubuntu | 18:16 |
| nuxil | RickKnight, if that fails.. try a older xorg server,, you will most likely find it in /var/cache/apt/archives/ if you didnt clean your cache | 18:17 |

| mia | its for my son | 18:40 |
| jussi01 | mia: is it made for linux? | 18:40 |
| nuxil | RickKnight, ok one idea.. copy all the stuff you need from your user.. delete the user and its home dir.. then recreate the user and cp your files back | 18:40 |
| mia | ummmm....not sure | 18:40 |
| mia | don't think so | 18:41 |
| jussi01 | mia: you will probably need to use !wine | 18:41 |
| mia | merlot or white? | 18:41 |
| mia | LOL | 18:41 |
| mia | sorry | 18:41 |
| organix | haha | 18:41 |
| jussi01 | !wine > mia | 18:41 |

| RickKnight | nuxil: recreating my user should work, I am able to create a new user. Was hoping to avoid that. Guess I'll try that after I eat. | 18:42 |
| mefisto_ | RickKnight: you have my sympathy | 18:42 |
| mefisto_ | can I mount to a dir that is not empty? | 18:43 |

| user_ | doesn't matter. | 19:35 |
| user_ | Use this: | 19:35 |
| user_ | added options line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base: | 19:35 |
| user_ | options snd-hda-intel model=acer | 19:35 |
| crimsun | have you verified that that's the correct model by inspecting his SSID? | 19:36 |
| user_ | in /etc/modprob.d/alsa-base, add that line "options snd-hda-intel model=acer". Then you should be good to go. You have to restart X or reboot for it to take effect | 19:36 |
| KlavKalashj | user_: ok, thank you, will try reboot. brb | 19:39 |

| KlavKalashj | crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52666/ | 19:52 |

| KlavKalashj | user_: taking a look at that tutorial now, thank you for url=) | 19:53 |
| KlavKalashj | crimsun: nice=) | 19:53 |
| mefisto_ | Jeroi: fonts can also be in .fonts/ in your home dir, so they can be installed per user, or systemwide | 19:54 |
| crimsun | KlavKalashj: did you try model=3stack, too? | 19:54 |
| user_ | mefisto | jeroi: this is correct, but i think they are in usr/share by default, right? | 19:55 |
| crimsun | KlavKalashj: we likely need to update the code for your quirk, since it's not in the source code. | 19:55 |
| Jeroi | how to make sumbolic link with kde3? | 19:55 |

| Jeroi | oh drag and drop | 19:56 |
| Jeroi | nice | 19:56 |

| dorkface | Hi all, I was wondering how to roll back an installed program, like wine. would there be an apt-get command for it? | 19:57 |
| KlavKalashj | crimsun: kk | 19:57 |
| user_ | crimsun: good detective work ;) | 19:57 |
| user_ | dorkface: to reinstall an older version? | 19:57 |
| dorkface | user_: yeah | 19:57 |
| nosrednaekim | dorkface: yeah... you can apt-get install a specific version if you know what version it was | 19:58 |
| user_ | dorkface: afaik, you'd have to remove all files of the new version, and compile the older version, as the repos only keep the updated version. Anyone else? | 19:58 |
| Jeroi | hmm how can I copy fonts from windows folder to fonts as I dont have privlidges to save into kubuntu font folder | 19:58 |
| user_ | nosrednaekim: yeah, thats what i meant ;) | 19:58 |
| dorkface | nosrednaekim: cool, I'll check that out | 19:58 |
| user_ | jeroi: run "sudo konqueror" | 19:59 |
| nosrednaekim | Jeroi: sudo | 19:59 |
| user_ | jeroi: then you will have write permissions | 19:59 |
| nosrednaekim | dorkface: synaptic has the ability to choose versions | 19:59 |
| user_ | nosrednaekim: it does?!? | 19:59 |
| dorkface | I'm using kde :) | 19:59 |
| crimsun | KlavKalashj: I need to scoot now to catch the train, but leave me a private query if it still doesn't work; I'll need to catch up with you to debug it further. | 19:59 |
| dorkface | does adept manager have that option? | 19:59 |
| user_ | dorkface: install synaptic | 19:59 |
| dorkface | user_: can do :) | 20:00 |
| nosrednaekim | user_: yeah | 20:00 |
| user_ | nosrednaekim: shoot, i'm switching right now, then. No wonder all gnome freaks say Adept sucks :) | 20:00 |
| nosrednaekim | user_: synaptic is much nicer.... ATM | 20:00 |
| user_ | nosrednaekim: well, i'll keep both, but use synaptic for now. thanks for the info. i thought they were essentially the same, just built with different toolkits | 20:01 |
| dorkface | user_: can do :) | 20:03 |
| dorkface | oops | 20:03 |
| vijay_ | Packgae installer --Error: Dependency is not satisfiable -- why this? | 20:03 |
| user_ | nosrednaekim: so can you force-install an older version through synaptic? | 20:03 |
| nosrednaekim | user_: I think so | 20:04 |
| user_ | vijay: try running "sudo apt-get -f install", and if that doesn't work, you can install the depency manually, either by compiling or finding a .deb package | 20:04 |
| persept | if I know correctly, KDE 4 will be in Hardy? | 20:07 |

| senorpedro | is it possible to set the panel in kde4 on autohide?? | 20:31 |
| Lynoure | lokpest: if you use kmixer for the settings, do note that the green light is for whether it plays in your speakers, and red light is whether stuff can be recorded from that source | 20:31 |

| jel | sasha_: do to what? If you mean to get the php source code then, no, you can't. | 20:47 |
| Darkrift411 | I was in here yesterday because my wife did something that made my wifi stop working. I thought buying a pcmcia wifi card would fix it, but apparently it didnt work. anyone know why neither wifi cards (build on and pcmcia) arent even being detected? | 20:47 |
| respati | senorpedro, adept manager is not in the menu. sorry i just figured out it because i have installed kubuntu thru the linuxmce dvd and that is disabled to avoid automatic updates that would mess something up | 20:47 |
| jel | sasha_: you can download the original source via FTP or some other way that you have access to the actual files on the server. | 20:48 |
| Dragnslcr | sasha_- PHP just outputs normal HTML. wget will fetch the HTML just fine | 20:48 |

| das6745 | go kde-menu->system settings->default applications | 20:50 |
| jel | sasha_: another issue you might be seeing is that you need to log into some sites before you can access certain content, and wget won't have the login that your browser has. Look at it's cookie options for that, or program something using python's mechanize or similar. | 20:50 |
| val0 | Darkrift411 what happens when you try to bring the interface up? | 20:50 |
| user_ | das6745: got it, and it works like a charm! I always use kcontrol instead of system settings, but this is a good one to know. thanks! | 20:50 |

| val0 | Darkrift411 your wireless interface | 20:50 |
| sasha_ | I have an account on my colege's site with courses. I would like to download that site on my computer with wget | 20:51 |

| das6745 | user_: thx you too, i miss that kcontrol is more powerfull | 20:51 |
| jel | sasha_: ok, read the man pages for wget, and figure out how to let it use your browser's cookies then. Login with your browser, then use its cookies in wget as a "key" to get your stuff. | 20:52 |
| Darkrift411 | sudo lshw doesnt show my built on wifi, or the pcmcia card | 20:52 |
| Darkrift411 | it just shows ethernet device (lan) | 20:52 |
| val0 | Darkrift411 ok, what about "ifup eth0"? | 20:52 |
| nosrednaekim | Darkrift411: weird... | 20:52 |
| Darkrift411 | eth0 appeares to be my wired lan | 20:52 |
| val0 | Darkrift411 oh ok | 20:53 |
| jel | sasha_: alternatively, use something built into your browser, or kget might work | 20:53 |
| nosrednaekim | Darkrift411: you sure you are are running the right kernel? | 20:53 |
| user_ | das6745: true, but i didn't see a place to set default browser in there, so system settings is good for something! :) | 20:53 |
| sasha_ | jel:thanks a lot for advice | 20:53 |
| Darkrift411 | yes | 20:53 |
| Darkrift411 | its been working for like 6 months | 20:53 |
| sasha_ | ok | 20:53 |
| sasha_ | I shall try | 20:53 |
| Darkrift411 | but yesterday my isp had a hickup, and my wife needed to get on, so she started messing with stuff | 20:53 |
| val0 | Darkrift411 I've had the same issue with the pcmcia cards not working on my x23 and took me 3 days to get it running | 20:53 |
| nosrednaekim | not good... | 20:53 |
| Darkrift411 | i came home and wifi managers and other things were open | 20:54 |
| respati | senorpedro, i'll have to check if i even should install adept_manager. i guess the automatic udates can mess up linux media center edition. but i think I can shut off automatic updates and just use it for manual downloads of specific programs cant i? | 20:54 |
| Darkrift411 | she ran everything under the internet settings section and somehow changed something | 20:54 |
| val0 | Darkrift411 how about activate at start up option? :D | 20:54 |
| user_ | darkrift411: dumb question: do you have wireless enabled? | 20:54 |
| Darkrift411 | yes | 20:55 |
| Darkrift411 | the onboard wifi was working, but its a pain in the arse chipset, so i bought a belkin pcmcia card to avoid the hassle.... but that isnt even detected | 20:55 |
| user_ | Darkrift411: when you right click network manager, does it even list any wireless options? | 20:55 |
| Darkrift411 | right now all i have open is kwifimanager | 20:55 |

| miketalanca | If it matters here is my sudo fdisk -l when starting up from a livecd: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52680/ | 20:59 |
| user_ | miketalanca: try this maybe > http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html | 21:01 |

| Darkrift411 | i c | 21:07 |
| user_ | i probably should have mentioned that ;) | 21:08 |
| Darkrift411 | im still pissed that somehow i ended up buying a pcmcia card with the same damned chipset in it that i was trying to avoid | 21:08 |
| user_ | darkrift411: linux can be frustrating like that... i'm always checking to make sure the stuff is compatible | 21:09 |

| Darkrift411 | onboard and pcmcia both not detected | 21:10 |
| val0 | Darkrift411 so i guess that site helped a little? i had the same problem, i bought 2 different cards but both used the same stupid chip set | 21:10 |
| Darkrift411 | yes firecrotch | 21:10 |
| user_ | Darkrift411: yeah, but both pcmia *and( built-in go at the same time? | 21:10 |
| Darkrift411 | i had been using the onboard for 6-10 months, and something happened yesterday | 21:10 |
| firecrotch | Wow I would have figured you'd have gotten that solved by now. That thread on ubuntuforums didn't help? | 21:10 |
| Darkrift411 | i couldnt get drivers reinstalled, so i gave up, and bought a new card (pcmcia) | 21:11 |
| nosrednaekim | Darkrift411: hmm do you have a liveCD? | 21:11 |
| Darkrift411 | when i put it in, its not detected, and it seems to use the exact same install method/drivers as the onboard does | 21:11 |
| Darkrift411 | no, but i guess i should dl one | 21:11 |
| tdn | firecrotch, I do not have access to a Windows installation, so I cannot get Helvetica from there. | 21:11 |

| user_ | Darkrift411: i dont know what you mean- just download either the 32 bit or 64 bit version from the site | 21:24 |
| Darkrift411 | i meant do the regular install cd's function as a livecd also? i thought they did, but wastn sure | 21:24 |

| Artimus | I came here this morning with Automount issues in Gutsy. If anyone wants this for their notes, this was the solution I found. If automount doesn't work and/or HAL can't start, run this command as root and reboot: /usr/lib/hal/hald-generate-fdi-cache | 22:15 |
| jpatrick | TimS: no | 22:15 |
| TimS | jpatrick: Is there another program that can? | 22:15 |
| jpatrick | TimS: unrar e archive.rar | 22:15 |
| user_ | frojnd: i would say try the ATI one (that's what you are using). If it doesn't work, you can always go back and use vesa (which is generic) | 22:15 |
| TimS | Will it prompt for password? | 22:16 |
| user_ | tims: if its password protected, then yes | 22:16 |
| TimS | Alright =] | 22:16 |
| Odd-rationale | Artimus: Is this the fix for automounting ntfs? | 22:17 |
| Artimus | Odd-rationale: No | 22:17 |
| Odd-rationale | Artimus: OK | 22:17 |
| Artimus | This is an issue where out of the box, HAL gets messed up (it'll give errors on loading KDE) | 22:18 |
| Artimus | I don't have any NTFS drives, so I haven't ever looked into that one | 22:18 |
| Odd-rationale | Artimus: OK. Mine's different, then. | 22:18 |
| Artimus | I've had issues where NTFS drives won't mount because of them not being cleanly unmounted from Windows. | 22:18 |
| Artimus | (that was mounting manually) | 22:18 |
| Odd-rationale | Artimus: I have an external hdd | 22:19 |

| adydas | is there anyway to learn the path of a sound device ( a mic ) | 22:19 |
| Artimus | Odd-rationale: Just heads up, if you just unplug it instead of clicking "Safely Remove Hardware" in Windows or unmounting it nicely in Linux, Linux *WILL NOT* mount it next time you plug it in | 22:20 |
| Odd-rationale | Artimus: I can mount it manually form the command line. So it is really no problem. But it would be nice if it worked like my FAT32 flash drive. | 22:20 |
| user_ | odd-rationale: can you format it to ext3? | 22:20 |
| Artimus | user_: Might as well make it FAT32 by that point. | 22:21 |

| homelessjoe | anyone know how to remove cups without removing kde? | 22:36 |
| Maara | update-rc.d -f kdm remove | 22:37 |
| jpatrick | homelessjoe: no | 22:38 |
| homelessjoe | that will allow me to remove cups without having apt remove kde? | 22:38 |
| homelessjoe | jpatrick: arg | 22:38 |
| === TimS is now known as TimS|Film | ||
| homelessjoe | i dont need cups since i dont print anything! ugh so stupid | 22:39 |
| homelessjoe | theres no way to break the "dependency" on it? even though its not actually dependent on it? | 22:39 |
| === TimS|Film is now known as TimS|Away | ||
| firecrotch | homelessjoe: what is it saying is dependent on cups ? | 22:40 |
| homelessjoe | kde | 22:41 |
| homelessjoe | and vice versa | 22:41 |
| firecrotch | that's odd. I would expect kubuntu-desktop to be dependent on it, but not kde itself | 22:41 |
| homelessjoe | technically it does say kubuntu-desktop | 22:42 |
| firecrotch | kubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package that depends on _everything_ that is installed by default | 22:42 |
| CppIsWeird | ive got an Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family), i had it working in 7.04, upgrading to 7.10 i get nothing. anyone know what i can do? i cant find too much on google other then people messing with alsamixer settings which have done nothing for me. | 22:43 |
| jason__ | i am having an issue with kaffeine or xine not sure what the problem is but it keeps saying that all the video drivers failed to load. it was working fine last night but now it won't do didley | 22:43 |
| homelessjoe | is there a way to delete that met package without actually removing anything? in a way breaking that dependency | 22:43 |
| homelessjoe | meta* | 22:43 |
| firecrotch | you can just remove kubuntu-desktop, it shouldn't delete the things that it depends on | 22:44 |
| homelessjoe | hmm | 22:45 |
| homelessjoe | i really hope so | 22:45 |
| homelessjoe | that seems to remove all of kde | 22:45 |
| firecrotch | well, I don't even have kubuntu-desktop installed on my system, and I'm running KDE :) | 22:45 |
| homelessjoe | *is going to try it now* | 22:45 |
| homelessjoe | omg my machine is running like ass for some reason! is there a way to turn off power management? | 22:46 |
| firecrotch | homelessjoe: besides, it would list all packages that are going to be removed before doing anything | 22:46 |
| firecrotch | just make sure that it ONLY lists kubuntu-desktop, and you'll be fine | 22:47 |

| Kloplop32 | I have a quick question, where is the bash script that acts after the user is logged in? I need to set a variable with export, but global, and not just in that terminal session | 23:10 |
| adz21c | i think one of might be ~/.profile, but don't take my word on that | 23:12 |
| sourcemaker | simple question: nvidia-glx is working fine... nvidia-glx-new not... shouldn't I use nvidia-glx-new for newer nvidia cards? | 23:13 |
| adz21c | sourcemaker: which card? | 23:13 |
| sourcemaker | 7800GT | 23:13 |
| Kloplop32 | hm... | 23:14 |
| adz21c | yea i would think new is what you should be using | 23:14 |
| Kloplop32 | I have a FX one, and I know glx on linux was meant for general FX | 23:14 |
| alex_mayorga | hello all, what's the easiest way to go from ubuntu to kubuntu? | 23:14 |
| sourcemaker | adz21c: but with glx-new... I receive an api missmatch | 23:14 |
| Kloplop32 | install the KDE environment | 23:14 |
| adydas | how can i idenfity a sound device | 23:15 |
| adz21c | alex_mayorga: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 23:15 |
| alex_mayorga | adz21c, thanks | 23:15 |
| adz21c | sourcemaker: sounds like somethings going wrong when removing the old driver | 23:15 |
| adz21c | sourcemaker: then you get a mix of both and it isn't happy | 23:16 |
| sourcemaker | adz21c: the old driver is working fine | 23:16 |
| Kloplop32 | adz21c, do you know where that ~/.profile may be at? | 23:16 |
| Kloplop32 | sourcemaker, then I would just stay with the old one :/ | 23:16 |
| sourcemaker | adz21c: when I purge nvidia-glx and install nvidia-glx-new... kdm is not working due api missmatch | 23:16 |
| adz21c | sourcemaker: yea thats what I mean, the old driver is install, but doesn't remove correctly then install new and u get a mix and all hell breaks loose | 23:17 |
| sourcemaker | adz21c: ok | 23:17 |
| steve_ | hi | 23:17 |
| steve_ | oh ffs | 23:17 |
| adz21c | sourcemaker: like Kloplop32 says tho, unless you have problems with the old driver might as well stick to it | 23:17 |

| Darkrift411 | any words of wisdom for me? | 23:18 |
| Scubar | does anyone know how i could get some form of sound on my X-Fi Prelude sound card ? | 23:18 |
| adz21c | alex_mayorga: odd, but other than performing a full install from a kubuntu disc or picking out packages individually thats the key package | 23:18 |
| TheGull | \part | 23:18 |
| alex_mayorga | in the aptitude punctuation a bigger number is a worst thing right? | 23:19 |
| jason__ | ok, i solved the problem, i didn't have libxine1-x installed | 23:19 |
| adz21c | Scubar: the X-Fi only has some beta 64bit drivers available | 23:19 |
| lod_ | I have a Q. about Cedega, to update from 6.0 to 6.0.5 must I apply all updates before 6.0.5 | 23:19 |

| Darkrift411 | when will ms learn | 23:24 |
| Scubar | ill take a look | 23:24 |
| Scubar | unforunately the Prelude is made by Auzentech | 23:25 |
| Scubar | although they still use the creative drivers but not sure which ones | 23:25 |
| adz21c | Scubar: well they will use the same chip | 23:25 |
| nickpresta | I applied the latest updates (including the previously broken X package) so I think that could be the problem... | 23:25 |
| Scubar | that only has 64bit driver :\ | 23:27 |
| Scubar | unless im being blind | 23:27 |
| adz21c | yea | 23:27 |
| adz21c | there is only a 64bit driver | 23:27 |
| adz21c | and its beta | 23:27 |
| Scubar | im runnin i386 | 23:27 |
| adz21c | i was thinking about getting an xfi till i found | 23:27 |
| adz21c | out | 23:27 |
| Darkrift411 | should going from 7.04 to 7.10 give any more hw support? | 23:28 |
| Scubar | Auzentech are making a driver at the moment but they only say its scheduled for Q1 08 | 23:28 |
| Scubar | i hate waiting | 23:28 |
| nickpresta | Darkrift411: I would imagine so. Newer kernel, etc. | 23:28 |
| Darkrift411 | cool | 23:28 |
| PriceChild | Darkrift411, yes, for the latest hardware | 23:28 |
| Darkrift411 | im scared still | 23:29 |
| adz21c | Scubar: i don't think there is much else u can do except use an onboard card if you have one till then? | 23:29 |
| adz21c | Scubar: under linux | 23:29 |
| Darkrift411 | ppl in here told me not to do the "version upgrade" but right now my computer is as good as useless without wifi | 23:29 |
| Kloplop32 | .profile isn't it adz21c :/ | 23:29 |
| nickpresta | PriceChild: if possible, could you list the packages that were affect via the latest update or which were directly related to X? I think I need to downgrade. | 23:29 |
| adz21c | Kloplop32: your just trying to set an enviroment variable when logging in? | 23:29 |
| Kloplop32 | do you at least know how/where to set environmental variables? | 23:30 |
| Kloplop32 | yep | 23:30 |
| adz21c | Kloplop32: and what did you put? | 23:30 |
| PriceChild | nickpresta, it has been fixed with newer packages. | 23:30 |
| Kloplop32 | export PSPDEV=/user/local/pspdev | 23:30 |
| nickpresta | PriceChild: I'm having trouble logging into my desktop and the only thing I've done recently is update those packages. =( | 23:30 |
| gan|y|med | hi | 23:31 |
| adz21c | Kloplop32: weird cos it worked for me | 23:31 |
| PriceChild | nickpresta, not related. | 23:31 |
| PriceChild | nickpresta, give the channel more information on the errors you are experiencing. | 23:31 |
| Scubar | i have the special SoundFX that came with my Asus Blitz mobo | 23:32 |
| Kloplop32 | yeah, I know it works in the terminal, but it isn't global systemwide. It has to be able to be used inside of a C script compiled by gcc | 23:32 |
| nickpresta | For some reason, whenever I try to login, the computer hangs before I can get to the desktop or the login process sends me back to the login screen. | 23:32 |
| Scubar | so i could try popping that in and using that in linux and using my Prelude in Vista | 23:32 |
| adz21c | Kloplop32: oh ok, got ya, it isn't on a per user basis then | 23:32 |
| Kloplop32 | I can go: echo $PSPDEV and it returns blank, but then I do export... then it works | 23:32 |
| Kloplop32 | well I am the only user, it just has to be able to be constant and preset in the system | 23:33 |
| lotfi | i'm here | 23:33 |
| lotfi | lol | 23:33 |
| adz21c | Kloplop32: try /etc/rc.local? | 23:34 |
| Kloplop32 | because when it starts a session export only works in that section | 23:34 |
| Kloplop32 | yes I already tried that | 23:34 |
| Kloplop32 | and I already tried /etc/init.d/rc.local | 23:34 |

| vlt | adydas: amarok fades the next track in. I need it to play immediately and only the current one to fade out. | 23:52 |
| adydas | well i just setit up and tryed and does excatly what he wants.. :p | 23:52 |
| bascule | wants fade in in the second tune | 23:52 |
| adydas | oh | 23:52 |
| bascule | not sure why though ... :) | 23:52 |
| adydas | what about no crossfading, and turn on fade out | 23:53 |
| adydas | so it starts the next one, and fades out the other? | 23:53 |
| hydrogen | thats only on exit | 23:53 |
| adydas | oh bummer | 23:53 |
| adydas | well im out of ideas :P | 23:53 |
