[00:00] Hi I am installing kubuntu via netboot but the disk controller is not recognized. It is ich8 chipset, ahci is enabled. any advice? [00:00] <^TheCrono> does the intsall know what is /home what is swap and what is extended? [00:00] <^TheCrono> i used to know how to install ubuntu heh [00:00] <^TheCrono> but that was 5.10 === lex is now known as Puppadores [00:01] what is the min/suggested ram for kubuntu? [00:02] Taggnostr: I would suggest 384 or more.. else it runs like a slug.. [00:02] Taggnostr: depends on how heavy of a user you are ;) [00:03] stdin : I tried the fix on the referred page and the package now installs but still firefox does not load plugin ? [00:04] wimpies: have you restarted firefox? [00:04] I'm playing with my new laptop (Thinkpad T61), and the sound is rather screwy. There is a volume control icon at the bottom right, but it doesn't do anything. Regardless of where I set the slider, the volume stays the same: medium. There is a "mixer" button, and it has a "PCM" slider (whatever PCM stands for) which actually controls the volume. Do you guys use something else? kmix seems lame to me. [00:05] For example, in KMix, there are a bunch of cliders for microphones on the "output" tab. Huh?!? [00:05] I just have to run 1/2 programs [00:05] s/cliders/sliders/ [00:05] stdin yes I did [00:06] wimpies: I can't really help much, I don't use flash often and I run hardy not gutsy [00:07] My keyboard stopped responding. I couldn't even Ctrl + Alt + F1, but then I did an Alt + SysRq + R, and I was able to Ctrl + Alt + F1 into a VT and open up irssi to get here. Why is this happening in KDE? [00:08] Anyone? This is a horrible showstopping bug. Please help me. [00:09] dmesg show any hints [00:10] Nope. [00:10] Tonren: I think most people here are seeking help, rather than providing it. :) I know I'm certainly in the first category. [00:11] Tonren: Did you have stuff on the display? [00:11] wad: Yeah, I mean, other than the keyboard not functioning, KDE is functioning exactly as it should. [00:11] I even used my Firefox bookmarks to navigate to a few threads on the issue. [00:11] It seems unnervingly common, but there are no solutions. [00:11] Tonren: Just use the mouse. Keyboards are overrated anyway. [00:11] stdin : do you have flashplugin installed ? Can you check if you have an /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin ? [00:11] * wad ducks [00:12] Tonren: I guess I can ask a serious question: Did you change anything recently on the system, that could have affected this? [00:12] wimpies: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 Jan 6 09:09 /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin -> /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so [00:12] Specifically, anything in xorg.conf, maybe? [00:12] Tonren:i'm hearding alot of these reports... you need to disable slow keys in systemsettings->accesibility [00:13] Hey, look! Someone who knows stuff! [00:13] Tonren: your mouse still works, right? [00:13] stdin : hmm, thx ... i have that too :( [00:15] <^TheCrono> Wow, 1.2GB is the size of my folder 'small games' [00:15] español [00:15] <^TheCrono> i might not even keep those, they may not work [00:15] does anyone know how to register a nick [00:15] hola ayuda en español [00:15] !es | sebiz [00:15] <^TheCrono> type /chanserv help [00:15] sebiz: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [00:15] <^TheCrono> or /nickserv help [00:16] <^TheCrono> its going to take 6 hours to compress my shit [00:16] <^TheCrono> stuff* [00:16] <^TheCrono> That's a long time [00:17] wad: I don't think so, really. And, yeah, the mouse still works. [00:17] <^TheCrono> i even have 4 compressors going at once [00:17] Tonren: then go to system settings->accesibility and disable slow keys [00:17] stdin : it works now ... for some reason (Just started and started firefox two or three times) [00:18] nosrednaekim: Slow Keys is disabled; it was never enabled. [00:18] identify [00:18] wimpies: flash is odd, I guess sometimes it needs a kick :p [00:18] Thx CUALL [00:18] Tonren: hmmm.. let me see [00:19] nosrednaekim: Every time I Ctrl + Alt + F7 back to KDE, I have to Alt + SysRq + R to get back to my VT. [00:19] I'm on an HP Compaq Presario v2565us laptop. [00:19] hello, does the second item on this page (http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/k/knetworkmanager/knetworkmanager_0.2ubuntu1-0ubuntu7/changelog) mean it's already in place in the package? [00:20] my php bug was firefox [00:20] everything was working [00:20] firefox is caching the mime types [00:20] Tonren: hum, are you certain slow keys is disabled? [00:21] nosrednaekim: Absolutely, positively certain. [00:21] nosrednaekim: What does slow keys do? Let you hold keys down to type them? [00:22] Tonren: you have a probem with the keyboard? [00:22] <^TheCrono> I typed for the help and got it. but still don't get get it. it said identify and set. what do i type register my nick [00:22] <^TheCrono> its /msg nickserv register password i think [00:22] <^TheCrono> not sure [00:22] let me try [00:24] here's an excerpt: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53091/ [00:24] that didn't seem to do anything [00:24] txwikinger: Yes.. a terrible, horrible problem. [00:25] It might be that slowkeys somehow switched on [00:25] txwikinger: nosrednaekim was thinking the same thing, but it definitely isn't. No chance at all. [00:25] there is or was a bug in kdenetworkmanager that prevents me from connecting to a windows server vpn. this changelog shows a fix was implemented, but i'm not sure if it's in 7.10 [00:25] try to press one key for several seconds and see [00:26] Tonren: what exactly happens? [00:26] txwikinger: I tried that, nothing happened [00:27] jimmy51: see what version you have [00:27] txwikinger: Just nothing. The keyboard completely stops responding. If I hit Alt + SysRq + R, I can hit Ctrl + Alt + F1 and go to a VT, which is what I'm doing now [00:27] anyone here running ubuntu or kubuntu on their PS3 ? [00:28] What makes you guys chooses Kubuntu over Ubuntu ? [00:29] <^TheCrono> KDE [00:29] !ot [00:29] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [00:29] Jesus... there are dozens of people on the boards with this exact same problem, and no one knows how to fix it. [00:30] Tonren: You could try to remove xserver-xorg-input-evdev and relogin .. maybi this helps [00:30] Perhaps such an application doesn't exist, but I was wonder if there was any way to easily make brackets that I can print? I am aware of bracketmaker.com but a local application is preferred. Any ideas? [00:30] stdin: (linux newness shows... ) how do i check my version from the command line? i see it in the adept gui, but i'm curious about the cmd line method... apt-version or something? [00:31] jimmy51, to check your system version: lsb-release -a [00:31] jimmy51, lsb_release, sorry [00:31] jimmy51: "apt-cache policy " so in your case "apt-cache policy knetworkmanager" [00:31] <^TheCrono> man, my computer is using 30gigs of my HD..and i can'tfind that 30 gigs anywhere [00:32] <^TheCrono> windows/programfiels is only 4GB [00:32] hello [00:32] stdin: ok, i'm running "1:0.2ubuntu1-0ubuntu5" [00:33] stdin: his changelog says "1:0.2ubuntu1-0ubuntu6" [00:33] jimmy51: then you don't have it, if you look at the changelog "knetworkmanager (1:0.2ubuntu1-0ubuntu6) hardy; urgency=low" you can see it's in hardy [00:33] i have p4 ht processor but kubuntu does not display two processors is there some way i can enable hyperthreading? [00:34] stdin: is there any way i can force mine to upgrade to the version the fix is in? [00:34] ^TheCrono, you could always do: `sudo du -sh /` and see where the bulk of your space is being used. cd into the largest folder and run `du -sh` there until you find the root of your problem. Check out `filelight` too, in the repos. [00:34] i tried ht=on acpismp=force but nothings seems to work [00:35] <^TheCrono> i'm not on kubuntu yet, i'm deleteing stuff off my HD so i can partition easyer [00:35] jimmy51: you can either request a backport on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/knetworkmanager or wait for hardy to be released [00:36] <^TheCrono> i got an 80 gig HD, main partiton is 74GB, 50GB is free, everything on the partition is 15GB..wheres the other 10? [00:36] <^TheCrono> 10gb is hiding somewhere [00:37] stdin: thanks for the help. i'll look around on the link you sent and try to request it. [00:38] jimmy51: you just file a bug report saying "Please backport knetworkmanager to gutsy because ..." and put in the reason [00:40] :-\ My computer froze. [00:43] <^TheCrono> well, here goes, i hope this is bootable [00:44] Tonren: Can you do things with the mouse> [00:44] ? [00:44] hi === scubar is now known as Scubar [00:46] back.. [00:47] txwikinger: It's working fine now. [00:47] txwikinger: It will continue to do so until it randomly decides to break again. [00:48] do you have a lot of swapping going on at the same time? [00:48] thanks txwikinger [00:48] nosrednaekim: I didn't do anything :) [00:48] txwikinger: you tld him to remove that package [00:49] Ah.. was that helping? [00:49] !helpersnack | txwikinger just accept a cookie ok? [00:49] txwikinger just accept a cookie ok?: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [00:49] :) [00:50] thanks nosrednaekim [00:51] Hi, I set system settings -> monitor&display -> power saving to 5hour, but monitor turns off after 10min. How can i find what is turninig off my monitor?... [00:52] guys, I am trying to run Compiz Fusion on an intel 965 (aka X3100) [00:52] Tonren: hey, if you have a forums account, mind posting what worked for you? [00:53] rysiek|pl: and... [00:53] I have set "SKIP_CHECKS=yes" and compiz runs... and X hangs [00:54] I get "I830 Vblank Pipe Setup Failed 0" in Xorg.0.log [00:54] uhm, kubuntu starts without gui [00:54] ...and google was not of much help [00:54] is there something like the CTRL+Shift+u then unicode shortcut in KDE to create unicode chars which are not on the keyboard? [00:54] rysiek|pl: what driver are you using? i810 or intel? [00:54] nosrednaekim: intel === sea_4_ever is now known as sea4ever [00:56] nosrednaekim: I tried i810 while fighting with the widescreen problem (nvm, solved), but... xorg wouldn't even get up with that; should I try once again? It might have been the other options that were changed that killed xorg then [00:56] no.. intel is the correct driver [00:56] rysiek|pl: ask in #compiz-fusion [00:56] <^TheCrono> Ugh, anyways, what is the command to install kubuntu?..it left me at a prompt saying ubuntu@ubuntu [00:57] nosrednaekim: ok, thx [00:57] Taggnostr: are you in recovery mode? [00:57] ^TheCrono: it did install.. [00:57] <^TheCrono> so..what hapepned? [00:57] X probably isn't starting because its dosn't like its configuration.. [00:57] <^TheCrono> How do i fix this? [00:57] depends.. how much unix you know? [00:57] <^TheCrono> lol, i'm in here asking if it installed [00:58] so nothing then.. [00:58] <^TheCrono> Not much, i'm trying to learn [00:58] i know as much unix as a goat does english [00:58] I've a monitor with 1680x1050 but I'm running on a virtual machine so it is in a window [00:58] <^TheCrono> I remember a desktop and the like last time. [00:58] ^TheCrono, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop - installs the full kuybuntu desktop on your system [00:58] <^TheCrono> why do i need to downlaod kde? [00:58] <^TheCrono> i jsut got it and installed it [00:58] <^TheCrono> kubuntu desktop [00:58] it tried some resolution but they failes, then it asked me the user and pass without gui [00:58] ^TheCrono: you installed using kubuntu desktop installer CD/DVD? [00:58] <^TheCrono> 7/10 [00:59] <^TheCrono> cd [00:59] <^TheCrono> yes, [00:59] Taggnostr: this is in a vm? which VM manager? [00:59] <^TheCrono> kubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso [00:59] ^TheCrono, you are making very little sence.. If you installed using the Kubuntu cd. then you have kde. [00:59] ugh [00:59] i'm having the hardest time with kde4 [00:59] <^TheCrono> KDE won't load though [00:59] ^TheCrono: when you booted of the CD did it find your graphics? [00:59] virtual box, I've just installed the guest addition, reboot and the gui didn't start [00:59] ^TheCrono, NOW you are starting to make sence. [00:59] <^TheCrono> No clue. [00:59] thats why theres a kde4 channel [01:00] it forwards to #kde.. ? [01:00] ^TheCrono: when you put the disk in the drive and booted the CD ... did a desktop come up? [01:00] So The newly installed system is not booting to the X login screen then? YOu are just getting a console prompt?

[01:03] ill let adept update all my packages first as ive just installed again [01:03] after the 15th attempt at making vista and kubuntu install [01:03] was being a pain in the ass [01:04] yeah.. vista has 2 be the first partition on the drive [01:04] <^TheCrono> i did, and i installed it..it had the kubuntu icon with the blue bar going abck and forther, then ti said kubunto laoded or somethign and gave me a ubuntu@ubuntu prompt [01:04] yea [01:04] i just found that out [01:04] stupid vista [01:04] español [01:04] ^TheCrono: yeah.. thats not the gui I am talking about..

Crono ? [01:04] <^TheCrono> yes [01:05] hola [01:05] <^TheCrono> had several options [01:05] the X windowing system dosn't look to have started.. [01:05] como estas [01:05] nosrednaekim, when I start it there is the kubuntu logo with the progress bar, when it reachs the end appears: usplash: Setting mode 1280x1024 failed, 1152x864 failed using mode 1024x768 [01:05] why not just get the live cd and install it that way [01:05] <^TheCrono> let me try again [01:05] <^TheCrono> i thought i did [01:05] !usplash [01:05] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [01:05] well theres ur problem then [01:05] he got the desktop-cd..

This time open the run command : kdesu kate /boot/grub/menu.lst . Then add this to the bottom of your gub/menu.lst: http://www.pastebin.ca/869266 [01:11] !sound | Ubuntu [01:11] Ubuntu: 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 [01:11] ubuntu: do other sounds work? [01:12] thx ubotu [01:12] !kiss ubotu [01:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about kiss ubotu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:12] and no, NO sound works, nosrednaekim [01:12] oh and save it , ^TheCrono [01:13] ubuntu: what does kmix show? anysound channels? [01:14] lucky i just looked up what kdesu does [01:14] what do u mean sound channels? [01:14] never knew that sudo graphical apps = bad idea [01:14] ubuntu: any sliders? [01:14] shows master on, headphone on, pcm on, master mono on [01:15] on input tab the cd is on, and switches external amplifier is on... [01:15] I suggest you follow that link that intelikey(through ubotu) gave you [01:16] ubuntu , make sure mix is on in the switches tab [01:16] BluesKaj lines 5 & 6 can cause issues in some cases. just fyi. [01:17] ok nosrednaekim, i did open a tab to that link :) [01:17] intelikey, his pc is very similar to mine , so i thought I'd risk it. :) [01:17] I'll try that blueskaj [01:18] <^TheCrono> when KDe loads, the second line in the list of [OK] gives an error, but i cannot read it as it happens to fast [01:18] <^TheCrono> on the prompt [01:18] When trying to play a DVD, I keep getting errors saying "Could not read NAV packet." What do I need to do to REfix this? This is yet another example of something that worked one day and not the next.... grr. [01:19] ^TheCrono, are on live cd ? [01:19] <^TheCrono> no [01:19] ^TheCrono you might still read it at ctrl [01:19] <^TheCrono> at what? [01:19] at ctrl+alt+f8 [01:19] <^TheCrono> let me try that [01:20] ok [01:20] ^TheCrono also dmesg may have the error message [01:21] whitch ssh server is good for kubuntu? openssh-server? [01:21] yes [01:21] "yes" for me? [01:21] yes [01:21] :P [01:22] <^TheCrono> ctrl alt f8 took me to a blank screen [01:22] <^TheCrono> with a blinking line [01:22] hmm blank? ok. anyway dmesg may still have the error message [01:22] <^TheCrono> dmesg? [01:23] yes it's a command [01:23] <^TheCrono> jsut type dmesg [01:23] <^TheCrono> ? [01:23] you can filter the output if you like dmesg | less [01:23] <^TheCrono> um? [01:23] <^TheCrono> type dmeg | less? [01:23] yes [01:23] <^TheCrono> dmesg [01:23] <^TheCrono> ok [01:24] i'm planning on reinstalling a server for my home. it's mostly file sharing, media streaming, printer services, but I do like setting up ssh and X11 forwarding... was wondering if there was some wonderful service i was overlooking so that i can add it to my plan. i've been through a couple of books, but i've noticed some things they didnt consider too. [01:24] ^TheCrono you do know how to switch tty's don't you ? ctrl+alt+f# the gui is generally in tty7 [01:25] console == tty [01:25] <^TheCrono> tty's? H <--see that letter h?..it knows more about unix than i do ::D [01:25] <^TheCrono> can't i jsut install ubuntu 5.10 and update and get kde? [01:25] <^TheCrono> i know ubuntu 5.10 works [01:25] what is a 'shell'? .. the command list? [01:26] can somebody please help me with vnc? I have realvnc on my xp box and when i try to connect from my ubuntu box it says x connection broken [01:26] ^TheCrono: that'd take a LONG time :) [01:26] ubuntu a shell is a command intrupreter like the ms command.com [01:26] well sorta like [01:26] well really not much like but far better. [01:27] lol [01:27] can't I type a command in konquerer? [01:27] nope [01:27] <^TheCrono> why would it take a long time? [01:27] konqueror isn't a shell [01:27] ok lol [01:27] ubuntu with the terminal eumlator feature of konq yes. [01:27] ^TheCrono: because you would have to go through 4 versions to get to gutsy [01:27] <^TheCrono> i'm nto sure it installed..i click install..it laods the kernal..kubuntu sign comes up with a blue bar..then a command prompt [01:28] yeah.. not installed [01:28] <^TheCrono> nothing else happens [01:28] <^TheCrono> maby that is the problem? [01:28] ah ok intelikey, I knew I heard something like that before [01:29] ubuntu you can look in the konq menus and enable the "terminal emulator" if you like. [01:29] * intelikey recons it's still there... [01:29] alt-f2 -- konsole :-P [01:30] biovore doesn't kde have a default hot key to open a terminal too [01:30] <^TheCrono> so is there a command i can use to install kbuntu? [01:30] intelikey: no clue.. [01:30] ^TheCrono: well its more like 1000 commands if you where to atempt to do it.. probably better of with the alternate installer and manualy configure X. [01:30] ^TheCrono if you have the alternate install CD else the dvd if neither of them. then no. [01:31] I'll see about that intelikey [01:31] <^TheCrono> so, i need to instal ubuntu 5.10 and update? [01:31] ^TheCrono does the live CD boot and run kde for you ? [01:31] <^TheCrono> i don't have live cd [01:32] yeah you do. http://mirrors.gigenet.com/ubuntu/kubuntu/gutsy/ that's what you said you got. [01:33] <^TheCrono> yeah, it gives me a text based menu [01:33] does it boot and run kde for you ? [01:33] <^TheCrono> no [01:33] ??? [01:33] <^TheCrono> it goes to a menu with 5 or 7 options [01:33] * intelikey [01:33] one of which is install ubuntu ? [01:33] ummm is one of those options "start or install kubuntu" [01:33] one is safe graphics mode ? [01:33] <^TheCrono> start / install kde start kde graphics safemode thing check memory oem boot form hard disk [01:34] can some one help with this--"he APT Database could not be opened! This may be caused by incorrect APT configuration or some similar problem. Try running apt-setup and apt-get update in terminal and see if it helps to resolve the problem." [01:34] I"M STUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! [01:34] mia: did you run those? [01:34] ^TheCrono ok and you select safe graphics mode and it does what ? [01:34] how? [01:34] <^TheCrono> haven't tried, heh, one sec [01:35] !adeptcrash | mia [01:35] mia: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [01:36] got a error message - "could not run the specified command" [01:37] a friend and I tried all last evening to correct the problem and it hasn't been corrected. something tells me I may have to reload everything. [01:37] joy [01:38] did you try the commands that the error message spit out ? [01:38] yes [01:38] nothing [01:38] hey [01:38] sudo apt-setup ;sudo apt-get update [01:38] it worked === ubuntu_ is now known as theCronoWorks [01:38] but, its running off the cd, so tis slow [01:38] and it gave me an error..cannot find io slave [01:38] and you see the installer icon [01:38] says "command not found" [01:39] @me intel? [01:39] yes theCronoWorks [01:39] where would this icon be? desktop? [01:39] desktop [01:39] got it [01:39] also "E: Line 2 too long in source list/etc/apt/sources.list" [01:39] good luck with it. theCronoWorks [01:40] i installed 96xx driver on my toshiba m10 laptop and now i cant see anything on my screen ... it sis the correct driver but i cant see anything on my screen .. i tried to change the resolution on my desktop using the termina root > video .. no luck ANY HELP would be appreciated [01:40] mia then you obviously have an error there. lets see about rebuilding the sources.list file shall we ? [01:40] i'll be here to asks another question in 5 minutes don't worry [01:40] !source-o-matic [01:40] source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic [01:41] i installed 96xx driver on my toshiba m10 laptop and now i cant see anything on my screen ... it sis the correct driver but i cant see anything on my screen .. i tried to change the resolution on my desktop using the termina root > video .. no luck ANY HELP would be appreciated [01:41] mia see ubotu above ^ [01:42] raj_ ctrl+alt+plus_sign [01:42] ubotu the website is not in english [01:43] in roder to make 4 partitions without reformatting them i need manual don't i? [01:43] ok, heres the scary part [01:43] raj_ see if it's just a wac rez if so you can edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and fix it. if not i'd sujest reconfiguring the thing. maybe even use the vesa driver to trouble shoot. [01:43] theCronoWorks: yes [01:44] arghhhhhhhhhhhhh [01:44] mia, intelikey, source-o-matic is gone. use the Software Sources application [01:44] LjL walk him through it. [01:44] LjL: Gone gone forever-like? [01:45] i need 4 partions, 1 20GB for windows and a bit of data, 1 2gb swap file, 1 6gb ext system/linux, and 1 /home at 50gb....without loosing the stuff on the HD i have now [i have a folder i need, too big for Cd ior dvd]....can anyone walk me through this part? heh [01:45] genii: seems so [01:45] Damn [01:45] intelikey, i'd rather walk through editing sources.list manually to be honset [01:45] I seiously cannot loose this file. [01:45] partitioning on yuour own isn't so scary theCronoWorks [01:45] and don't wanna screw up. [01:45] i'm a born and bred Windows person trying to learn something new [01:45] and I'm not having very good luck with it [01:46] mia, can you summarize the problem for me? [01:46] theCronoWorks how big are we talking ? [01:46] my adept doesn't work [01:46] 80gb hard [01:46] I can't get into my program files [01:46] i posted the 4 partions [01:46] no the file you "must keep" [01:46] oh [01:46] its a fodler, its like..8gb [01:46] all i gto are cdrws [01:46] so yeah [01:47] i need that 8gb on my /home partition [01:47] ok and it's where now ? [01:47] mia, ok, that's not a very useful summary so i'll ask you to do some things you were probably already asked to try. close Adept, and type « sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. pastebin the output. [01:47] its on my HD which is in one partition [01:47] intelikey thx 1 sec [01:47] you lost me at pastebin the output [01:47] the language is so new to me [01:48] single partition will make that difficult. if you can resize that partition down to the 20g size you are good to go if not then we have work to do. [01:48] i want to resize it..but will it damage the data on it? [01:48] theres 50gb free on it [01:48] "E: Invalid operation dis-update" [01:49] theCronoWorks if you are asking me to promice that you or the program will neither one make a mistake. then you have already made one. [01:49] the only thing i want is the windows installation and my'transfer'folder which has all the stuff i need [01:49] lol [01:49] i can survive without the data, but i want to be sure [01:50] if i loose it i loose it, oh wells heh [01:50] but id like to save if by all means [01:50] !pastebin | mia [01:50] mia: 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) [01:50] theCronoWorks the partitioning step of the installer is supposed to let you resize the partition see what it says if it says it can.... we'll go from there if not we'll do something else. [01:50] mia: dist-upgrade, not dis-upgrade. why don't you just copy and paste what i give you? [01:51] ok, for the windows 20 gb partitiion...it needs to be ntfs obviously..what do i point it to? [01:51] theCronoWorks, there's no reason to lose any data on the windows partition [01:51] ummmmmmm [01:51] i clicked edit partion on the main one [01:51] I did [01:51] theCronoWorks have you started the installer yet ? [01:51] thanks for the help [01:51] yes, i'm at partition window [01:51] "prepare partitions" [01:52] yes resize it grab the end and drag it down toward the start [01:52] it shows two fo them..one is 79990mb and one is 8mb [wtf 8mb partition?] [01:52] are you serious..grab and drag? [01:52] does the partition editor show the the data portion of the partition [01:52] ? [01:52] it has two boxes ontop [01:52] i installed 96xx driver on my toshiba m10 laptop and now i cant see anything on my screen ... it sis the correct driver but i cant see anything on my screen .. i tried to change the resolution on my desktop using the termina root > video .. no luck ANY HELP would be appreciated [01:52] no luck [01:52] if that's what you mean [01:53] oens pink one is yellow [01:53] one says sda1 and oen says free [01:53] theCronoWorks i mean click that and say resize then in that window grab and drag yes. [01:53] i can't drag it [01:54] could someone help me with some bugreport etiquette? i've never submitted one and don't want to waste people's time or make them mad [01:54] Says i need to specify a partition for the root system [01:54] only the end is a handle. but also you can try the size box below it [01:54] no resize options or anything, jsut edit/delete [01:54] mia, so can you pastebin the thing? [01:54] Hello, does anybody know what should I install to be able to change Gnome theme? (I use a couple of GTK apps) [01:54] don't delete. [01:55] its step 4 of 6 btw [01:55] theCronoWorks take your time study all the application in front of you carefully. familearize your self with it. explore it. [01:55] ohmy [01:56] well, i don't think we have to worry now [01:56] andresj, GTK apps should normally use the GTK->Qt engine by default, therefore ideally looking just like KDE apps. try Appearence / GTK Styles in the system settings. [01:56] if you have not "applied changes" dont. [01:56] i hit undo..whew..i accedently hit delete [01:56] then i hit undo and it came back [01:56] it's safer than you think [01:56] you can bail out [01:57] LjL, I use KDE4. [01:57] i can edit the partition..but what filesystem do i use? [01:57] it hasn't actually writen anything to disk until you tell it to apply changes [01:57] andresj: in that case you should probably ask in #kubuntu-kde4 (see /topic) [01:57] root would be ext3 correct? [01:57] don't change the partition type just resize it down [01:58] i can't [01:58] LjL, already asked :) I thought people here would know, though. As it is not a KDE4-specific issue... [01:58] you mean yb resizeing the boxes above the list right? [01:58] theCronoWorks ok you need to back out of there and boot windows. disable pagefile/vertual memory and then defrag it [01:58] andresj, well, it can be, since KDE 3 *does* provide a KDE way to set up GTK styles. === root__ is now known as sexymikey [01:59] hrm, how do i disable pagefile/virtual memory? [01:59] theCronoWorks then you should be able to resize it [01:59] * intelikey does not do windows [01:59] theCronoWorks: why would you do that? [01:59] never done that before [01:59] intel toldme to :D [01:59] LjL to resize an ntfs partition. [01:59] ah, the Windows swap. [01:59] he needs it defraged [02:00] LjL, that's true :) [02:00] ive not defraged sence maby...1998 lol [02:00] intelikey: right click on My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Resources (?), deactivate virtual memory [02:00] ok [02:00] intelikey: of course that wasn't for you [02:00] heh theCronoWorks [02:00] theCronoWorks if none of these guys will tell you how to disable vertual memory in windows there is always ##windows [02:01] heh [02:01] Well, hopefully I did this right: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/knetworkmanager/+bug/185217 [02:01] theCronoWorks ah see ljl [02:01] Does that look like a reasonable backport request? [02:01] as long as you keep a reasonable amount of free space on your volumes, fragmentation shouldn't be a big issue on any modern filesystems (including ntfs), true [02:01] let me see about deactivating it, then i'll try...defrag will take years [02:01] well,i'm using 30 out of 80 gb [02:01] right now [02:01] theCronoWorks if you really want to save that data, i don't know another way. [02:02] well, brb === david____ is now known as w7a [02:02] Oh I GIVE UP! [02:02] and you should dump all the junk you can to make it less than 20g === ronnie is now known as trophyhead [02:03] I've got a machine at work that's running as a netatalk server (for a mixed group of Macs running everything from OS 8.6 to 10.5) and I'm running into tail fragmentation issues...I have to leave tail packing on on reiser, though, because resource forks are saved in a separate file; when I went ext3 -> reiser3, I recovered 20GB of space, it's true. [02:03] jimmy51, the steps to follow for a backports request are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#head-37a793d5ee480081f1c9f19e07fcdcdae5e6a9ed [02:05] <^theCronoAFK> where was it again? [02:05] LjL <^theCronoAFK> where was it again? [02:06] intelikey: right click on My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Resources (?), deactivate virtual memory <<<< that i think. [02:07] but my log file is way too big. 8m of irc log is too much [02:07] 8MB? mwahah [02:07] <^theCronoAFK> don't have resources :D..winxp[ [02:07] <^theCronoAFK> i have an 18mb log file btw [02:07] LjL i don't log over a weak at a time [02:07] ^theCronoAFK: well then it's called something else. that's why i put a question mark there. there are three buttons - it's one of those three. [02:08] @ljlhead:~/.muh$ du -h 2.1G . [02:08] <^theCronoAFK> under virtual memory.. 'no paging file' should be it right? [02:08] yep [02:08] it should warn you that it's a bad idea. :) [02:09] <^theCronoAFK> it didn't lol [02:09] the only time i had to play with that it did... [02:09] <^theCronoAFK> defrag might take awhile [02:09] <^theCronoAFK> think defrag is nessicary? [02:09] it probably will. but someone will still be here. [02:10] yes it is absolutely nessicary [02:10] that's why you couldn't resize it while ago [02:10] <^theCronoAFK> well,its been a minute..still at 1%..how long will you guys be around? lol [02:11] * intelikey awaits the 325 answers to that...... [02:11] <^theCronoAFK> i wonder if it would be faster to burn my files onto a cd then reformat [02:11] possably. [02:11] <^theCronoAFK> time to pick and choose what i REEEALY want [02:11] thought you didn't have the disks for that ? [02:12] <^theCronoAFK> i do, but it would be like 12 disks lol [02:12] * intelikey scrolls up.... if this guy proves to be a liar he's on his own. [02:12] Does kubuntu use Hg? [02:12] <^theCronoAFK> lol [02:12] <^theCronoAFK> i got like...7-8 cds [02:13] <^theCronoAFK> the fiels are about 8.5gb [02:13] <^theCronoAFK> disks are 700mb [02:13] hi all : ) I recently bought a 2.0 usb card, just wondering how do I know if its working?, my webcams cheap so didnt seem to improve resolution,any help greatly appreciated : ) also is there a defrag or cleanup disk program in kubuntu? [02:13] <^theCronoAFK> thouhg, defrag just jumped to 3% [02:14] <^theCronoAFK> i don'tthink defrag stays at a constant speed, after the first 30% it may fly to 100 [02:15] trophyhead why not just use the one in windows ? === genii_ is now known as genii [02:16] trophyhead you were talking about defragging a windows file system weren't you ? [02:16] is it included in the kubuntu package? [02:18] !defrag [02:18] The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. [02:18] trophyhead ^ [02:18] !virus | trophyhead see this one too [02:18] trophyhead see this one too: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [02:21] ok so I take it with kubuntu files dont pile up over time, good, just thought my puter would get slower & slower, filled with stuff I browsed at & deleted, thx : ) [02:21] <^theCronoAFK> hrm,2.9gb music [02:21] <^theCronoAFK> and most of it is my own [02:21] <^theCronoAFK> 2gb of it probably...i need that [02:21] trophyhead welcome [02:22] <^theCronoAFK> what os or environment has it where there is no bar on the bottom but 5 orbs on top of the screen? === lmcenoobi is now known as Respatix [02:22] <^theCronoAFK> i seen that and thought it look kinda cool [02:23] <^theCronoAFK> but dujnno what os/environment it was, i am sure it was linux though [02:23] sounds like a theme [02:23] hello! can someone take a peek at my USB problem please....I would love to have my mouse and such http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53111/ [02:23] ^theCronoAFK: link? [02:23] <^theCronoAFK> hrm, let me look [02:26] steveny looks like you have a 1.1 and a 2.0 hub there. what exactly is not working ? [02:26] <^theCronoAFK> can'tfind it anymore === BluesMurf is now known as tuxick [02:27] Hey, can anyone help me? [02:27] wow, steveny, that sounds a lot mroe serious than my wife's acpi fan problem...hey, are you gobucks747? [02:27] depends on the problem ubuntu_ [02:27] You might wnt to pick a better nick also ubuntu_ [02:27] ubuntu_ yes. it's down the hall on the left, and please flush when finished [02:28] Well, I have two problems. One, my kde panel has vanished permenently. So, I deleted the .kde config folder in my home directory. Now, I cant even log in becauase of an error about a dcon server or something isn't working. [02:29] yyeah...steveny, it looks like your usb ports are detected! [02:29] dcom... [02:29] well....I was....a few installs ago:( [02:29] <^theCronoAFK> does KDE have any drastic gui changes/themes? [02:29] My second problem is that the 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' command, says X cant detect my ati card. [02:29] And no, all i did was change the background [02:30] heh steveny [02:30] :-( [02:30] and installed that overhead command line thingy, like yakuaga or something. [02:31] <^theCronoAFK> it would be nice to use somethign that doesn't have a button in the bottom left with a popup menu [02:31] So? [02:31] <^theCronoAFK> like, have the start vbutton in the dead center of the screen...and tis all red and says 'start' [02:31] once my usb ports see my stuff, I'll be a happy camper:) ...but everyone seems to be stumped:( [02:31] <^theCronoAFK> and a orbit menu comes out [02:31] <^theCronoAFK> like in nwn [02:31] ^theCronoAFK you can change that. or use something else. i like blackbox personally with no bars [02:31] ^theCronoAFK- you can move the KMenu to anywhere you like in the taskbar [02:32] So, am I just sol then? [02:32] <^theCronoAFK> yeah i know that, but orbit menus would be cool nonetheless [02:32] Dragnslcr or remove it. [02:33] have the middle click do something besides paste... like display the menu [02:33] Ack, can anyone help me or not? :P [02:34] ubuntu_ alt+f2 type in "kicker" [02:34] okay? Thats it? [02:34] <^theCronoAFK> start emnu as the middle button?..nice [02:34] <^theCronoAFK> menu* [02:34] ubuntu_ i can point you at the bot like but that's all i can do with ati. you could use vesa until you get ati streightened out. [02:35] <^theCronoAFK> i like when people get on my pc to..you know..rbowse or something, and they are like 'o,O' [02:35] !ati | ubuntu_ [02:35] ubuntu_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:35] al right, well thanks anyway. [02:35] <^theCronoAFK> but it seems at kde-look..its all the same layout..just diffrent colors and pictures [02:35] but the kicker is the easy one. ubuntu_ [02:36] Ooh, before I forget, does anyone have any reccomendations for a FPS? [02:36] <^theCronoAFK> half-life 2 [02:36] <^theCronoAFK> doom 2 [02:36] <^theCronoAFK> unreal [02:36] I was thinking specifically for linux, but thanks. [02:36] <^theCronoAFK> allof thsoe work on linux [02:36] <^theCronoAFK> half-life 2 runs perfectly on wine [02:36] <^theCronoAFK> unreal has a linux install iirc [02:37] Without wine, and something not from unreal. I have plently of iwndows games and I own all the UT [02:37] <^theCronoAFK> install;er* [02:37] <--has a simple usb issue, I bought & installed a 2.0 card, I know it's working when cam is ok, but how do I find out if the system didn't read them as just extra usb ports, (1.0)'s [02:37] <^theCronoAFK> i used to map for unreal,also, you can get doom 2 and use a linux port, zdeeom is linux i believe [02:37] !tome [02:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about tome - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:37] !game [02:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about game - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:37] they keep removing useful information [02:38] <^theCronoAFK> i thinkw ere supposed to be in #kubuntu-offtopic though [02:38] <^theCronoAFK> ever played never winter nights intel? [02:38] not a gamer [02:38] <^theCronoAFK> oh ok [02:38] short answer, no. [02:39] kmix shows 2 audio devices, how do I set one to default? [02:39] <^theCronoAFK> they had a nice menu system..you would right click, an a ring would appear around your mouse with diffrent things, and you would click on an item in the ring and it would replace the old one with a new one [02:39] do I have to do something in the shell in order to see the cd? mount or things like that? [02:39] <^theCronoAFK> i wonder if that can be done in kubuntu [02:39] and the few games i have played are stratagy turn based i like to think, not fight. [02:40] Taggnostr, an icon should appear on your desktop when you put a cd in [02:40] <^theCronoAFK> wesnoth? [02:40] yeah it has potential. but needs writers [02:40] i just play the ones that came with kubuntu (tremulos, sauerbraten..etc.... [02:40] moparisthebest actually x doesn't work, I've to copy some file from the cd but I don't know how can access it [02:40] too one dimentional really [02:40] oh, in that case use mount Taggnostr [02:40] <^theCronoAFK> i play snes and 64 emulators alot recently [02:41] what is the syntax? [02:41] <^theCronoAFK> and i will soon get simcity 4 [02:41] Taggnostr, mount myiso.iso /mnt/iso/ -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 [02:41] make sure /mnt/iso is a directory [02:41] you can mount it to whatever directory you like [02:41] Taggnostr sudo mount [02:41] could I mount in /tmp too? [02:41] <^theCronoAFK> defrag is at 5% compression at 28...i'll prolly jsut reformat everything [02:42] I don't see why, its not going to take up harddrive space or anything [02:42] <^theCronoAFK> alot of the stuff i am saving..i already have [02:42] <^theCronoAFK> on cd [02:42] Taggnostr you can find the device with either of sudo fdisk -l or cat /proc/partitions and the mountpoint is an empty dir normally /mnt [02:42] but /tmp may have things, so you would probably have to mount it in a folder in temp [02:42] you can make a dir if needed. [02:43] Taggnostr you can mount to any dir and if you mount to /tmp what ever you mount there may aquire some odd temporary files.... [02:43] i sujest using /mnt that's what it's for [02:43] I just want to avoid to create and then delete a folder [02:43] ok [02:44] so sudo mount my.iso /mnt ? [02:44] mount -o loop isoname.iso /mountplace [02:44] yes but if it's an iso you'll need to add an argument. -o loop [02:45] uhm it can't find the iso [02:46] find / -iname *.iso [02:46] I'm in a virtual machine, the iso should be the one with the guest additions [02:50] is there a way to find it? [02:50] hola [02:52] Taggnostr ^ [02:52] with find I can't find it [02:53] is there a way to stop it while it shows the result? [02:53] is there a way to make dosemu not mess on the asc2 charset ? [02:53] Taggnostr ? pipe it through less [02:53] | less [02:54] it seems the same [02:54] is it because you get no results? [02:55] I get find: ....: Permission denied for about 2/3 pages [02:55] and I can't see any *.iso [02:55] example of the dosemu issue "#" should have been a dubble vertical [02:56] Taggnostr sudo it and the errors will go away but that's not likely to help. cause if it didn't find it then it probably isn't there. [02:57] with sudo nothing appears [02:57] and "I" should have been the single virtical [02:57] Taggnostr that's what i said. [02:57] uhm [02:58] mount your other file system where you can access it then find the iso and copy it or just mount it in place... [02:59] the problem is that I'm inside the virtual machine [02:59] and the fs is not accessable to you ? [02:59] * intelikey confesses ignorance of mvware [02:59] vmware even [03:00] I mount the guest additions from the menu of the vm, I don't know if and where there is a file with the additions and how can I put them inside the vm [03:01] i would install vmware but it would taint my kernel and break my gpl... [03:01] * BluesKaj suggests dual booting ...vmware is a PITA mostly [03:02] <^theCronoAFK> what is vmware? [03:02] I'm using vbox actually [03:02] virtual machine ware [03:02] !vmware [03:02] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [03:02] <^theCronoAFK> what is virtual machine? [03:02] <^theCronoAFK> oh === u^A is now known as u^A_ [03:03] sacktime ..nite folks [03:04] anyone use isdnvbox ? [03:04] or any answering machine in linux for that matter ? [03:05] <^theCronoAFK> you mean like a phone answering machine? [03:05] yes [03:05] <^theCronoAFK> lol no [03:05] * intelikey didn't expect that ^theCronoAFK did... [03:06] how would I configure what device the keyboard volume buttons control? [03:06] it shows up as muting, or turning up or down, but the volume doesnt change [03:07] !mediakeys | moparisthebest [03:07] moparisthebest: keyboard shortcuts can be set in K -> System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse. Try also "Input Actions" in KControl. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KDEMultimediaKeys - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [03:07] I've found the problem [03:07] <^theCronoAFK> why is it Kcontrol and not just Kontrol? [03:07] vbox mount the iso as a cdrom so mount /cdrom /mnt is enough [03:08] ^theCronoAFK because it's not system configuration tool it's kde configuration tool thus k control [03:10] can I run ati 3d drivers on ubuntu? [03:10] yes [03:10] !nv | don [03:10] don: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:10] I thought so [03:10] thanks [03:12] ^theCronoAFK the gnome counter part is gnome control center why gnome same reason. [03:14] intelikey, about the mediakeys thing, I looked in all of those places and nothing is set, however some program is listening for those keys because it says things like 'mute on' and 'mute off' [03:14] so how do I know what is causing that? [03:15] moparisthebest got me. khotkeys maybe ? [03:15] it was already set up from the base install :/ [03:15] * intelikey has 101key so can't test. [03:16] if I remember right, it worked in feisty and broke on the upgrade... [03:16] moparisthebest ummm yeah look in the /etc/init.d/ dir and see about laptop_mode or laptopkeys or something [03:16] but ill see what happens :) [03:16] ok [03:17] i do recall a script that setup some keys there [03:17] <^theCronoAFK> OH [03:17] there is a laptop_mode, ill have a look [03:17] <^theCronoAFK> the 6gb ext system/linux is for linux [03:17] <^theCronoAFK> and the 50gb partition is for data [03:17] <^theCronoAFK> keep the OS diffrent from the data [03:18] <^theCronoAFK> what file system do i need for the linux parition and the data partuition? [03:18] <^theCronoAFK> est 3 on both? [03:18] ^theCronoAFK yeah and the data is mounted on /home and is ext3 fs [03:18] <^theCronoAFK> ext3 [03:18] <^theCronoAFK> both are ext3? [03:18] both ext3 yes [03:18] <^theCronoAFK> what do the point to? [03:18] <^theCronoAFK> there was a point to option [03:19] <^theCronoAFK> when editing a partition [03:19] got me. i don't recall a "point to" option [03:19] <^theCronoAFK> i'ma leave the 20gb parition free for no, only if i need to install windows will i use it [03:20] <^theCronoAFK> there is two options in the edit menu [03:20] <^theCronoAFK> only [03:20] <^theCronoAFK> 2 [03:20] <^theCronoAFK> one says 'for: and one says 'point to: [03:20] <^theCronoAFK> under for: it says ext3 ext 2 etc etc [03:21] <^theCronoAFK> under point to it said i think /mac /windows /home [03:21] <^theCronoAFK> or something [03:21] <^theCronoAFK> music is done compressing :D..that's the bulk i think of it [03:21] heh ok the "for" is the file system type and the "point to" is the mount point. so ext3 home [03:21] that's the 50g [03:21] <^theCronoAFK> both are ext3 home? [03:22] whats the konsole code for installing the latest version of Pidgin? [03:22] ext3 / is the smaller system fs [03:22] ^theCronoAFK not both /home but both ext3 one is / the other /home [03:23] <^theCronoAFK> hrm 716,000kb won't fit on a 700mb disk will it? [03:23] * intelikey wonders who wrote ubiquity [03:23] <^theCronoAFK> 716,800kb* [03:23] <^theCronoAFK> i think i may jsut dleete the music also, lol [03:23] ^theCronoAFK not without over burning and that's not always a good idea [03:23] <^theCronoAFK> well, i told winrar to put them into 700mb cd parts [03:24] <^theCronoAFK> it gave me 4 files, 3 are 716.800kb [03:24] <^theCronoAFK> the other is 600 something' [03:24] <^theCronoAFK> 337mb actually [03:24] * intelikey wonders why you didn't just put the mp3 on disk rather than rar'ing them [03:25] mp3 is already compressed [03:25] <^theCronoAFK> i would need mroe disks? [03:25] <^theCronoAFK> oh [03:25] <^theCronoAFK> your right [03:25] <^theCronoAFK> :D [03:25] laptop_mode just sets up power-saving related options intelikey [03:26] ill figure it out eventually im sure :) [03:26] depending on how your cd manufacturer measures mb it may or may not fit. 1024*1024*700 for instance or 1024*1000*700 or just 1000*1000*700 [03:26] moparisthebest umm k but one of the scripts was for keys [03:27] .... /etc/init.d/keymap.sh but there is another [03:27] <^theCronoAFK> well, two more files to compress, then i can start the reformat process [03:27] found it. /etc/init.d/hotkey-setup [03:28] yep, found it about 2 seconds before you did, thanks :) [03:28] now if I can just track down what mine does [03:29] i also have /etc/init.d/winkeys.sh but you probably don't have that one. [03:29] <^theCronoAFK> the fiels fit exactly onto the cd [03:29] <^theCronoAFK> burnign and compressing at the same time..compressing twice actually [03:29] <^theCronoAFK> :D [03:33] echo 'keycode 125 = Decr_Console' | loadkeys # the [l-logo] key to decrease [03:33] omg I hear sounds! [03:33] is there a ringing in your ear ? [03:33] <^theCronoAFK> Lol [03:33] gosh I hope its not my ears [03:33] :) [03:34] i'm hoping its my laptop :) [03:34] break glass and you'll know [03:34] :) [03:34] hay anyone had any trouble installing apps lately? [03:34] <^theCronoAFK> So in essence, after i get kubuntu installed, via graphical safemode..how do i fix it to work in normal mode? [03:35] I dont want to get cut thx :P [03:35] I am new to KDE and everytime I try to install something or update I get an error message about thing being broken [03:35] <^theCronoAFK> what are you trying to install? [03:35] <^theCronoAFK> windows programs? [03:35] anything at this point. like the KDE themem manager [03:35] <^theCronoAFK> oh [03:35] no, not windows apps [03:35] ^theCronoAFK install and setup the propritary driver for your vidio card, but use the vesa driver until you do that. [03:36] <^theCronoAFK> what error? [03:36] <^theCronoAFK> you eman restricted driver intel? [03:36] no, I am not using restricted drivers [03:36] user121: The exact error msg would be helpful [03:36] Helloes! [03:36] it's only restricted because it's propritary non-free closed source. [03:36] <^theCronoAFK> that was @ intel , user121 [03:36] error commiting changes [03:36] I notice via Adept that I have AppArmor installed. [03:37] Great! [03:37] But how do I use it? [03:37] here is the next question intelikey :) [03:37] that file sets keycodes like this [03:37] setkeycodes 6f $KEY_MUTE [03:37] <^theCronoAFK> not that i really care..but..isd it legal to use restricted stuff on linux? [03:37] but I need to know what handles $KEY_MUTE [03:37] ^theCronoAFK: what kind of restricted stuff? [03:37] Like, drivers? [03:38] user121 konsole command# sudo apt-get install -f [03:38] <^theCronoAFK> yeah, liek ati/mp3 drivers [03:38] its legal ^theCronoAFK, unless you are in the USA and try to play a DVD :rolleyes: [03:38] ATI drivers are perfectly legal. [03:38] MP3's are where it gets tricky. [03:38] <^theCronoAFK> i have a dvd player, then again, what do i care about what'slegal or not heh [03:38] Nobody was ever sentenced to anything for DVD's and MP3 codecs... [03:38] intelikey: why should I have to use apt what is wrong with the other packet managers? [03:38] <^theCronoAFK> of course toona [03:39] <^theCronoAFK> user121 nothing is better and more compatiable than apt [03:39] One of the kids behind libdvdcss was arrested, but never trialed [03:39] user121 do you want some one else to help you ? [03:39] ^theCronoAFK: You should be okay. [03:39] <^theCronoAFK> apt-get is the best way to install anything [03:39] intelikey: no, just asking what the difference between the two [03:39] t00na, but dvdcss was declared illegal in the USA [03:39] <^theCronoAFK> t00na..i use bitorrent on a daily basis..i'm not very worried..jsut curious [03:40] user121 none really, that i care about. use aptitude in place of apt if you liek [03:40] like [03:40] bittorrent is perfectly legal as well [03:40] moparisthebest: It's just a trade secret that was legally figured out. [03:40] <^theCronoAFK> 90% of the uses it goes through are not [03:40] user121 but do use the konsole and not the gui app [03:40] we meed the error messages if any [03:40] <^theCronoAFK> apt-get made things so much easyer [03:40] t00na, it was more reverse engineered, and the judge ruled something stupid like 'you bought it with encryption so now you can't remove it' === ubuntu_ is now known as some_dude2 [03:41] I typically use GUI, but and not scared of a console [03:41] <^theCronoAFK> if someone buys something, it should be illegal for the sell to place a condition on its use [03:41] <^theCronoAFK> seller* [03:41] console != konsole [03:42] then you get into things like microsoft, where you just 'buy' a license to use the software, not the actual software itself ^theCronoAFK ;) [03:42] <^theCronoAFK> bitorrent sells me all ym software [03:42] It's your DVD. You should be able to do whatever you want with it. [03:42] <^theCronoAFK> its a rgeat software distributor [03:42] ^theCronoAFK copyright should be illegal [03:42] You bought it, and you aren't costing them anything by using libdvdcss with it. [03:42] <^theCronoAFK> yeah, that's why all my music is creative commons [03:43] It all comes down to what is right. [03:43] t00na, I agree with you fully, but that stupid judge doesnt [03:43] <^theCronoAFK> so are any images i take === some_dude2 is now known as some_dude [03:43] That stupid judge ain't gonna catch you. [03:43] intelikey: lol I was under the impression Konsole = typicall shell. I guss I will look the difference up at some point [03:43] I live in the USA, and have dvdcss installed, but it is illegal currently [03:43] Stupid judge doesn't have tabs on the world. [03:43] <^theCronoAFK> no one is really unless your gettign too big on the net for somethign illegal [03:43] <^theCronoAFK> just use an anon proxy if you want to be safe [03:43] I think it's unconstitutional for it to be declared illegal. [03:44] hopefully it does get put down in the future [03:44] <^theCronoAFK> and don't downlaod nicenewmovie..2 days after nicenewmovie is released [03:44] I think it will eventually [03:44] How about this: I make a company that sells TV dinners. [03:44] But in the EULA of that TV dinner, you can only use my partner company's brand of microwave to cook it. [03:44] <^theCronoAFK> lol [03:44] If you use any other microwave, i'll send the cops to bonk you on the head. [03:45] user121 konsole is a terminal emulator like gnome terminal and xterm console is the linux vertual terminal you can access the console with alt+ctrl+f# where # is 1-7 and 7 being the console that xorg is running in. [03:45] <^theCronoAFK> i wuld say ef you and your company, and use the tv dinner in another microwave [03:45] sounds like a very microsoft thing to do t00na :) [03:45] Microsoft TV Dinners [03:45] ^theCronoAFK: then go ahead and use dvdcss to your heart's content. [03:45] moparisthebest: they run Windows CE. :D [03:45] <^theCronoAFK> but,i have a real hardware dvsd player..so lol [03:45] <^theCronoAFK> dvd* [03:45] <^theCronoAFK> connected to my TV [03:46] moparisthebest: interesting name.... [03:46] I'm too lazy to use a real DVD player. [03:46] hardware DVD players are legal because they paid royalties to decrypt the DVD [03:46] <^theCronoAFK> and the only reason i use mp3 is because ogg isn't accepted on music sites most of the time [03:46] Airforce5555, thanks, are you one of the few who knows what a mopar is? :) [03:46] <^theCronoAFK> liek i can't put ogg on my myspace page [03:46] just like that microwave that heats up my TV dinners. [03:46] they paid royalties to me. [03:47] act, im not exactly sure what a mopar is. It just reminded me of a mmorpg private server XD [03:47] hehe, moparscape.org? it's mine :P [03:47] is it? [03:47] anyway, back to my question [03:47] it is* [03:47] <^theCronoAFK> is it a wow server? [03:47] mopar? as in dodge? [03:47] <^theCronoAFK> just curious [03:47] runescape [03:47] <^theCronoAFK> oh [03:47] but no, mopar stands for dodge, chrysler plymouth and jeep, car companies :) [03:47] lol [03:48] <^theCronoAFK> they need a good open source mmorpg [03:48] I found that I have AppArmor preinstalled on my Kubuntu [03:48] how do I use it? [03:48] so no affiliation with moparscape? [03:48] ^theCronoAFK, there is planeshift [03:48] vroom vroom [03:48] user121: i see. does apt-get have a way to browse all the apps listed in the repos? Other than using a GUI? [03:48] <^theCronoAFK> didn'tlikepl;aneshift very much though lol [03:48] nope Airforce5555, I made that nick years ago because they are my favorite cars :) [03:48] lol [03:48] user121: lol i mean simiar to the way adapt or symantic do [03:48] helloes???? [03:48] * intelikey thought that mopar was as widely known as delco or fomoco [03:49] ^theCronoAFK, we kinda 'made' runescape open source ;) [03:49] no, not nearly as widely known it seems intelikey [03:49] only seems like older guys know what it means [03:49] who's never heard of mopar? [03:49] Daisuke_Ido: not me [03:49] you calling me old ? [03:50] * Airforce5555 raises his hand [03:50] of course, i'm probably about the middle of the age scale around here [03:50] * Airforce5555 is not old though =\ [03:50] intelikey: mopar is chrysler, delco is gm [03:50] i'm 22, and most people my age don't recognize the name :/ [03:50] k, i'm 28, which explains a little bit [03:50] so maybe I am calling you old? :) [03:50] I am a honda person... [03:50] regeya and fomoco is ford moter company [03:50] ew, honda [03:51] honda and toyota [03:51] nothign beats reliability!!! [03:51] * moparisthebest gags [03:51] intelikey: sorry, I misread your statement [03:51] what are my chances of getting ion3 to 'work' with kde (in terms of having kicker display and play nice and whatnot) ? [03:51] * Daisuke_Ido hugs his clown car [03:51] Adlai: that depends: what's ion3 [03:51] :) [03:51] Daisuke_Ido: one of those sexy tiling window managers [03:51] !info ion3 [03:51] ion3 (source: ion3): keyboard-friendly window manager with tiled windows. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 20070506-2 (gutsy), package size 1592 kB, installed size 4084 kB [03:52] Can anyone help me? [03:52] so, like a super-bloated wmii? [03:52] How do I use AppArmor on Gutsy? [03:52] one of those light ones like ratpoison or such [03:52] moparisthebest: no, it's very light weight, although I suppose running kde underneath would make it super-bloated [03:52] t00na does it have a man page ? [03:52] thats what I meant [03:52] people use them cause they like key-shortcuts in there text editors left well alone :) [03:53] ok.... according to apt kdm theme is already installed, yet I do not see it in my menu. any thoughts? [03:53] i don't even know what apparmor is [03:53] intelikey: nope [03:53] !apparmor [03:53] For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [03:53] the bot knows all :) [03:53] I dont know what apparmor is either, at least for the next few minutes :) [03:53] user121 ummm logout sense you instaled it ? [03:54] intelikey: ok ill give that a shot [03:55] just thinking that kde might not be able to detect the new themes unless you restart it... there shoud be a buildsycoco for the menu though [03:56] intelikey: yeah, still nothing. Do you know which menu item it would appear under? [03:57] no i don't LjL might [03:58] it's probably not in the kmenu - afaik it's available in kcontrol [03:58] i'm afraid i'm not much help on gui things. i haven't started xorg today. and only one time in the last weak. [03:58] Daisuke_Ido to the rescue [03:59] kcontrol sounds right. [03:59] Daisuke_Ido: ahh, that would expalin it then [03:59] intelikey: the finny thing? i haven't used kde since about two days after gutsy's release [03:59] or maybe a system settings submenu ? [03:59] funny* [04:00] yes. i have kde and gnome installed but when i do start xorg i use blackbox heh. [04:01] <^theCronoAFK> xorg? [04:01] ^theCronoAFK that's the pointy clicky thingy that looks like windows [04:01] :) [04:01] <^theCronoAFK> oh [04:01] yeah, x-windows* [04:01] <^theCronoAFK> gui [04:01] yep [04:01] <^theCronoAFK> then what is kde? [04:02] I fixed everything \o/ [04:02] k desktop environment [04:02] grr all these damn "k" are confusing [04:02] <^theCronoAFK> ? [04:02] now that it works I've to configure everything \o/ [04:02] lol where is kcontrole? [04:02] user121 alt+f2 kcontrol [04:03] !kde [04:03] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

[04:03] intelikey: ahh there we go. thx [04:04] <^theCronoAFK> what is the diffrence between kde and gui? [04:04] ^theCronoAFK xorg is the gui that kde runs in [04:05] <^theCronoAFK> then what does kde do? lol..'desktop environment' is extremely vauge [04:05] the x-window-system provides the gui the desktop environment uses the gui and makes/moves/decorates windows in it. [04:06] <^theCronoAFK> oh [04:06] <^theCronoAFK> makes it look less...blande and windowsy [04:06] <^theCronoAFK> KDE is just a visual addon right? [04:07] window managers are more than gust visual addons [04:07] ^theCronoAFK if you want to see what bare xorg is do this sometime sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop then login and type X [04:07] <^theCronoAFK> lol [04:07] that will put you in a bare xorg [04:07] <^theCronoAFK> i'll get lost in mono-block land [04:07] just so you'll know. [04:08] <^theCronoAFK> is there any way to code the layout..so maby one day i could code in the feature i was talking about..with the start button? [04:08] and you can ctrl+alt+backspace to kill it then startx is a script that will put back in xorg + a desktop environment [04:09] <^theCronoAFK> lol, can you attack sounds to events in the theme? [04:09] i'm trying to install nvidia drivers and when i run the kdm stop command it goes back to the black kubuntu screen with a blue bar under it [04:09] <^theCronoAFK> attach* [04:09] ^theCronoAFK a way to code something in linux ? are you kidding ? [04:10] <^theCronoAFK> lol [04:10] <^theCronoAFK> no [04:10] is there something i'm missing in the command sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop? [04:10] reverend_joshua: what's the error message? [04:10] no error message [04:10] ^theCronoAFK: there are over 20 scripting/programming languages for linux [04:10] it just goes back to the splash screen [04:10] well the short answer is YES! emphaticatly yes. there surely is. [04:11] <^theCronoAFK> what si the best language to use that can drasticly change KDE gui? [04:11] but it doesn't do anything from there [04:11] <^theCronoAFK> i am planning on starting to learn a language, as currently i am jobless and bored lol [04:11] reverend_joshua depends on what you want it to do and if it's running ? [04:12] reverend_joshua oh sorry i missed your second post [04:12] <^theCronoAFK> i figure gui is a reletivly easy thing to modify [04:12] reverend_joshua yes at the splash screen use alt+f1 [04:12] ah [04:12] ^theCronoAFK: kde uses a gui system call QT. KDE is written to use QT with C++ [04:12] thanks [04:12] ^theCronoAFK not as easy as the cli. but yes [04:12] <^theCronoAFK> so i ened to elarn QT/c++? [04:12] <^theCronoAFK> need to learn* [04:12] ^theCronoAFK: but you can do QT stuff with scripting languages like python and perl as well [04:12] <^theCronoAFK> cli? [04:13] !cli [04:13] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [04:13] yes.. CLI is hthe hear of the system.. [04:13] <^theCronoAFK> hear? [04:13] the gui just an abstraction layer [04:13] ^theCronoAFK: you can't do everything in a gui.. [04:13] <^theCronoAFK> where is the best place to go to elarn to script with QT/C++, the KDE gui [04:14] www.trolltech.com <-- makers of QT [04:14] <^theCronoAFK> biover, i know jack abotu coding..this is jsut a start [04:14] <^theCronoAFK> learn QT before C++? === LeeJunFan_ is now known as LeeJunFan [04:14] I start with python or introduction to c++ [04:14] QT is a big step.. you have to know c++ first.. [04:14] <^theCronoAFK> Oh [04:14] ^theCronoAFK: most ubuntu based devel is done with python [04:14] learn C++ and everything on linux falls into place.. [04:14] http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Python_introduction_to_signals_and_slots [04:14] * intelikey skiped all that and just learned shell scripting [04:15] <^theCronoAFK> So mess with python first? [04:15] Python is fairly simple to get started in.. [04:15] python is easier to learn than c++, IMO [04:15] <^theCronoAFK> ive seen books on C++..oh my god [04:15] !nvidia [04:15] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:15] and no compiling [04:15] <^theCronoAFK> python doesn't need to compile? [04:15] just write the script and run it [04:15] * intelikey is glad no one has pointed him to perl (gag) [04:15] :) [04:16] ruby? [04:16] ;/ [04:16] <^theCronoAFK> what si somethign simple and unimportant in kubuntu that i can modify with python? [04:16] I don't know much about ruby but the perl to ruby comparison keep shying me away from it [04:16] python \o/ [04:17] ^theCronoAFK: i was just reading the pyqt tutorial Riddell gave last month [04:17] you could start there [04:17] i started to try to learn perl went to #perl and that changed my mind about it for ever. [04:17] <^theCronoAFK> assholes in #perl? [04:17] <^theCronoAFK> lol [04:17] ^theCronoAFK: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuTutorialsDay/PyKDE [04:17] much worse [04:18] <^theCronoAFK> this is why i left linux, because #ubuntu and #knoppix were all elitist aholes [04:18] is there a way to get compiz-beryl to run on KDE? [04:18] <^theCronoAFK> and i wasn't even going to dare going into #debian [04:18] how do I free the adept manager? it says that someone else are using apt [04:19] !adeptcrash | Taggnostr [04:19] Taggnostr: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [04:19] I always have this problem [04:23] before that it says that there is a distro update, how can I do it now? [04:24] anyone know off hand if amarok can remember where is left off in a track? [04:24] if not I'll go to #amarok [04:24] <^theCronoAFK> ask in #lad [04:24] <^theCronoAFK> or that\ [04:24] :() { S=1 ;echo "\n #?\c" ;until [ "$S" -gt 70 ] ;do echo "-?\b\c" ;sleep .1 ;S=$(($S + 1)) ;done ;echo "!#\b\b\b\c" ;S=1 ;until [ "$S" -gt 70 ] ;do echo "\b!=\b\b\c" ;sleep .1 ;S=$(($S + 1)) ;done ;echo "!=\b\b" ; } ; : [04:24] not a big deal, just curious [04:24] <^theCronoAFK> omg what langauge is that inteli?

[04:48] <^theCronoAFK> its amazingly user freindly compared to last time [04:49] <^theCronoAFK> 5.10 was horriable..it was like trying to survive in vietnam without a gun [04:49] im-a-n00b note what i just told ^theCronoAFK about that. if you are installing it automatically checks for bad blocks [04:50] how do i add the media repository so i can play mp3s [04:50] intelikey: thanks, but this drive is an external usb... making partitions using command line [04:50] /-justin_-\ on what media player? [04:50] ^theCronoAFK i must be vietnamees then i though the installer on 5.4 was better than this ubiquity is.

[04:56] yes [04:56] ^theCronoAFK: yep [04:56] everything is case sensative, ^theCronoAFK [04:57] Is there a way to enable shortcuts like in the ones in Firefox for Konqueror? For example, ctrl-enter to add on .com to an address? [04:59] <^theCronoAFK> don't brwosers do that anyways?

[05:04] <^theCronoAFK> Lol [05:04] <^theCronoAFK> That one line has more than many paragraphs [05:05] <^theCronoAFK> compiz plugins are almsot exclusivly written in C :/ [05:05] but i do get my modem reset pretty regularly. [05:05] <^theCronoAFK> so i will have to do somethign for KDE [05:06] ^theCronoAFK you like pastebin better http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d12ad52e4 [05:07] ^theCronoAFK, do you know much about dolphin? [05:07] need a script for pasting things? http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d6fb91463 [05:07] <^theCronoAFK> i know nothing about dolphin [05:07] oh [05:07] ok [05:08] * toyo|desk is getting sorta annoyed with its inability to remember that I want to see hidden files [05:08] :( [05:08] <^theCronoAFK> why not just unhide everything? [05:08] <^theCronoAFK> that's a shot in the dark though [05:08] toyo|desk: kde3 or kde4? [05:09] lol [05:09] umm I think its 3.5 [05:09] let me see [05:09] 3.5.8 [05:09] thats what it says [05:09] what version of Dolphin? (Help -> About Dolphin) [05:09] 0.9.2 [05:10] yep D3lphin... [05:10] ... [05:10] whats that mean? [05:10] ^theCronoAFK because you can't remove the dot from .filename and expect the system to still find them "why you can't `unhide everything'" [05:10] !d3lphin [05:10] Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. [05:11] toyo|desk: anyway... isn't there an option in View -> Adjust View Properties to show Hidden files by default? [05:11] but I like dolphin....I would just like it better if it could remember what I told it [05:11] :/ [05:11] (sorry I don't have dolphin right now) [05:11] ah [05:11] er.. d3lphin... [05:11] <^theCronoAFK> arn't hidden files, hidden because of a property, and not a file extension? [05:11] umm yeah there is but it dosent keep the setting [05:11] ^theCronoAFK, no [05:11] <^theCronoAFK> oh [05:11] ^theCronoAFK no [05:11] ^theCronoAFK: no [05:11] they are hidden because they have a . in front [05:11] <^theCronoAFK> i get the point [05:11] anyone for fourths? :D [05:12] blame the net lag :P [05:12] ^theCronoAFK it's not extention. it's names that start with dot [05:12] anyway umm [05:12] <^theCronoAFK> oh [05:12] so I wonder if my dolphin is just broken [05:12] :( [05:12] toyo|desk: is there an "Apply to" "All folders" option? [05:12] when i have some files selected in KRUSADER and i copy them to another window, i want to clear selected group afetr copy, move, etc... Where to set it plz?, I can't find id.... [05:12] toyo|desk: well, D3lphin, the KDE 3 clone/fork of Dolphin, is basically unfinished.. so it might not really be there at all [05:12] Jucato, yeah I tried that but then when I change to another folder it forgets what I clicked [05:13] :( [05:13] damn [05:13] ^theCronoAFK oh yeah. i should warn you. forget everything you think you know about computers, and welcome to linux. [05:13] <^theCronoAFK> yeah lol [05:13] lol [05:13] lol [05:13] <^theCronoAFK> ive been on linux befiore for almsot as year [05:13] (again anyone for fourths? :D) [05:13] <^theCronoAFK> ubuntu 5.10 [05:13] hm.. that should be almost 2 years then :) [05:13] <^theCronoAFK> it was horrible..not because of the system, but the people [05:13] <^theCronoAFK> so i just left [05:14] <^theCronoAFK> and got xp [05:14] Jucato, so you think that it may just be broken in the 3.5 release? [05:14] you started with the wrong *buntu :P [05:14] Jucato :) [05:14] toyo|desk: more like "not implemented" :D [05:14] <^theCronoAFK> i rememebr going into #ubuntu..they told me to go to #debian...people in debian said use google [05:14] toyo|desk: D3lphin (the one used in Kubuntu) isn't really an "official" Dolphin... it's a split [05:14] well I consider things that are menu items that dont work broken [05:14] haha [05:15] <^theCronoAFK> google ffs [05:15] oh [05:15] I see [05:15] well [05:15] damn [05:15] ^theCronoAFK yep that what they say in #debian just google it. or rtfm [05:15] I like it [05:15] <^theCronoAFK> well, it was use google or flame him for wanting to run a windows program and not adopting the eltiest anti-micrsuck emntalilty * [05:15] I just came to kubuntu from gentoo and gnome [05:15] haha [05:15] but sometimes you get a streight answer there. [05:16] I got pissed off at stuff not working [05:16] <^theCronoAFK> well, i consider google a last resort [05:16] <^theCronoAFK> some condier it the first resort lol [05:16] I go to google first cause it's faster [05:16] ^theCronoAFK most do. [05:17] * Agent_bob considers google a lost cause. [05:17] when I know what it is I'm looking for at least [05:17] * ^theCronoAFK considers google and wikipedia lost causes [05:17] * Jucato considers Agent_bob a lost cause [05:17] * Jucato runs [05:17] :) [05:17] <^theCronoAFK> most of the time i don't know what i am lookign for [05:17] * Agent_bob investigates Jucato [05:17] howto automatic deselec selected files in krusader afer copy, move, etc. They stay selected :( [05:18] <^theCronoAFK> and i end up typing into google "that program that atkes the dots and does the thimng" [05:18] <^theCronoAFK> and i either get 40 trillion or 40 results [05:18] <^theCronoAFK> like yesterday i asked someone what DLC is...they said google it...first 10 results where all diffrent [05:19] <^theCronoAFK> and turns out none of them was it [05:19] ^theCronoAFK: Google ranking [05:19] ^theCronoAFK oh i never have that good of a search, the high end is right but the low end is way too high. it's 40 trillion or none. [05:19] how could I copy a file if I can't write in the folder? [05:19] <^theCronoAFK> google ranking? [05:19] Taggnostr you can't. root can. sudo cp blah /dest [05:20] Taggnostr: depends on where you are copying it to... [05:20] ok, thanks [05:21] * Agent_bob turns Jucato over to the tax assessor for a three year old tax fraud. [05:21] * Agent_bob runs. [05:22] :D [05:22] it worked [05:22] I can legally say that I have never been eligible to pay taxes ever since.. there's no reason I would have to use fraud :P [05:22] of course I could be liable for being offtopic.. that'd be a different crime :D [05:23] :) [05:23] question: trying to install Nvidia driver... following the instrutions from the nvidia website... "can't find libc..." shouldn't libc be installed on my machine by default? [05:24] * genii has a sudden urge to !ot Jucato but resists [05:24] humm I just clicked a check box to install ati drivers [05:24] :D [05:24] val0 install glibc maybe ? not sure. but yes libc6 is installed [05:24] that was cool as hell [05:24] haha [05:25] <^theCronoAFK> buttons anc checkboxes, the furute of opensource [05:25] <^theCronoAFK> future* [05:25] not [05:25] Agent_bob that's what I thought... it's an obsolutely fresh install... arg [05:25] val0 oh wait. install build-essential [05:26] i bet the error message is in error. [05:26] Agent_bob hmm... you think so? ok i'll try... brb [05:26] if not at least it gives me a chance to hide.... [05:26] <^theCronoAFK> can't wait untill i'm done backing up..i feel left out not having problems for you guys to assist me on [05:27] <^theCronoAFK> but i will as soon as i do two more cds, because then i will install kubuntu [05:27] <^theCronoAFK> the problem is [05:27] <^theCronoAFK> i have to use grphical safemode because kubuntu doesn't regocnize my ati radeon x1300 [05:27] <^theCronoAFK> :/ [05:28] !ati | ^theCronoAFK [05:28] ^theCronoAFK: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:28] in advance... [05:28] <^theCronoAFK> i need an os before i can do that [05:28] <^theCronoAFK> and my drivers come with kubuntu..that's the problem [05:28] ^theCronoAFK: envy? [05:28] <^theCronoAFK> i don't think i need restricted to run KDE [05:28] <^theCronoAFK> envy? [05:28] <^theCronoAFK> zorg i mean [05:28] or maybe using the one that ubuntu supplies is the problem [05:29] <^theCronoAFK> xorg* [05:29] http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [05:29] no vesa is fine for xorg/kde [05:29] @ ^theCronoAFK [05:29] <^theCronoAFK> without safemode? [05:29] that is safemode sorta [05:29] <^theCronoAFK> i know [05:30] <^theCronoAFK> safemode is not a good end solution [05:30] the vesa driver is a low end bios call driver [05:31] but it works well enough with low end output [05:31] and normal xorg/kde is low end [05:31] <^theCronoAFK> i think the first thing is enabling restricted drivers,hopefully that will clear stuff up [05:31] <^theCronoAFK> well, i'm going all out with compiz and kibadock [05:31] <^theCronoAFK> so i need that Hardware [05:31] it is surely low end cause i ran kde on a p1 100mhz box for a while [05:32] ^theCronoAFK yeah. hopefullE [05:32] <^theCronoAFK> they should implment a repeat feature in youtube [05:32] i have this problem when trying to upgrade via adept. While trying to install the the Linux IMG i get an error and it just stops.. then i reboot and linux wont load forcing me to reformat? [05:33] <^theCronoAFK> did you reformat in the first place? [05:33] yes [05:33] <^theCronoAFK> oh, well, i'm out, agent bob..your next [05:34] so try next time from konsole and see why it's doing that [05:35] anyone have any ideas? [05:35] so try next time from konsole and see why it's doing that [05:35] sudo apt-get install update? [05:36] rule one. if a gui app explodes on you. use a cli equlivant and see why. [05:36] sudo apt-get update ;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [05:38] Jucato it's all yours. i am 'fini' [05:38] kye@GotWork:~$ sudo apt-get install update [05:38] Reading package lists... Done [05:38] Building dependency tree [05:38] Reading state information... Done [05:38] E: Couldn't find package update [05:38] broken apt thats the problem and obviously a bug. that not the first one in here with that. [05:39] the update must have hozed it. or. did kye mess up his own sources.list ? [05:39] kye pastebin your sources.list and lets see [05:40] not sure i just formatted then ran the updates [05:40] should i try sudo dpkg --configure -a [05:40] ? [05:40] lol my goal with kubuntu is to never have to use the cli [05:40] LD [05:40] XD [05:40] kye wait [05:40] you added "install" [05:40] what fun is that toyo|desk [05:41] see i'm too sleepy to do this.

[05:41] ty Agent_bob [05:41] there are just some things that are better done through the CLI, imo [05:41] i will let you know if i get the error [05:41] welcome kye [05:42] not me you wont. i'm went [05:42] shalom all. [05:42] * MacAnthony is about out too [05:42] MacAnthony, yes I understand that and yes I still use CLI every day at work [05:42] I dont want to have to use it at home as well [05:42] haha [05:43] battery is spent for myself and my lappy [05:43] umi tady nekdo cesky?

[06:03] monzie: can't find it right now and I have about 5 minutes of battery left [06:04] MacAnthony: no worrries. Thans for your time! [06:04] <^theCronoAFK> shoot, where are firefox bookmarks saved?..i forgot to backup mine so i ened to save them and uplaod them to the net [06:05] would removeing my .kde help? would it restore my knetworkmanager to a "sane" configuration? [06:05] search in the bug reports with the error message taht knetworkmanager gives you, and you should be able to find it [06:05] no, it's an issue with networkmanager [06:05] MacAnthony: there is no error message [06:05] how come ctrl+tab doesn't switch between virtual desktops like it's supposed to? [06:05] the "no active device" message [06:05] I just dont see my wireless. Driver and all are installed. I can manually connect with ifup [06:05] is kdestop for kde4 available? [06:06] monzie did you try my idea? [06:06] JoshOvki: nope. What is your idea? [06:06] monzie: knetworkmanager will ignore interfaces which appear in /etc/network/interfaces, they are considered manually configured [06:06] am i wrong? does ctrl+tab actually work for everyone else? [06:07] genii: oh ok. Should I just remove all the entries there and give it a try? [06:07] monzie: make a backup of you /etc/network/inferfaces empty out the original and restart [06:07] monzie: Comment them out with a # [06:07] <^theCronoAFK> Where are firefox bookmarks located? onw indows..if anyone knows [06:07] How can I get two different X sessions running so that can run myth on one videocard/monitor combo and kde on another? [06:07] genii/ JoshOvki: then I need to restart KDE or my system? [06:08] monzie: No. just ifconfig them down [06:08] genii: ok [06:09] genii:isnt it usual best to restart so it pulls everything up a-fresh? [06:09] JoshOvki: If he can't reconnect i imagine thats what he'll end up doing anyhow [06:09] very true [06:11] ^theCronoAFK: Documents and Settings\[WindowsUserName]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\[profile name]\bookmarks.html [06:11] so am i officially the only person that has ever used Ctrl+tab? [06:11] <^theCronoAFK> i made a bookmarks .html [06:12] <^theCronoAFK> well..time for the big moment, about to install kubuntu 7.10!!!! [06:12] <^theCronoAFK> and i don't know what i am doing :D...so brb [06:12] tommstein isnt ctrl + tab used just for switching tabs in a program [06:12] winkey + tab for going between v desktops [06:14] JoshOvki, that seems to be what Ctrl+tab does sometimes in kubuntu (although not other times), but in kde it's usually to switch virtual desktops. winkey+tab isn't doing anything [06:15] ok, in System Settings > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts === ubuntu is now known as ^TheCrono [06:15] <^TheCrono> hello0 [06:16] where it says Current Scheme change it to KDE Default for 4 Modifier Keys [06:16] aw, god damn it, i must have clicked on every set of settings except that one. thanks, JoshOvki [06:16] hi again ^TheCrono [06:16] on live disk? [06:16] <^TheCrono> when i make a home dir [06:16] <^TheCrono> yes [06:16] tommstein: No problem :) [06:17] <^TheCrono> i want a /home and a linux/system parition, both are ext3 right? [06:17] you saved me some frustration [06:17] Thats good to know :) i will have to make up for the lack of frustration with the people in work though [06:18] yes [06:18] and a swap file [06:18] <^TheCrono> and the /home dirt points to mountpojiint /home correct? [06:18] which is set to swap [06:18] <^TheCrono> er [06:18] <^TheCrono> the /home/ pertition points to the /home mountpoint [06:18] <^TheCrono> right? [06:18] are you manualy doing your partitions? [06:18] yes thats right [06:19] <^TheCrono> manually yes, there will be 4 partitions [06:19] <^TheCrono> where does system mount point to? [06:19] \ [06:19] <^TheCrono> the one kubuntu will be on [06:19] <^TheCrono> ok [06:19] <^TheCrono> swap points to? [06:19] ummm :S yeh [06:19] :P [06:19] <^TheCrono> swap points to / also>? [06:19] <^TheCrono> \ [06:20] i think that can stay empty [06:20] aslong as it is set to swap [06:21] <^TheCrono> 60gb is 60000 MB right? [06:21] yeh [06:21] 60, 000, 000, 000 byets :P [06:21] <^TheCrono> /home/will be 60 gb, swap 2gb and system 6 gb..and 10gb left over incase i need windows [06:21] <^TheCrono> on an 80gb hard drive [06:22] i would make system a bit bigger, because every program that is installed goes into that area [06:22] <^TheCrono> you can't run them from /home/? [06:22] i wouldnt [06:22] you dont really get to set where they install [06:23] <^TheCrono> well, everyone earlyer said even 5gb was mroe than enough for kubuntu [06:23] kopete doesn't seem to be loading my AIM contact list [06:23] mine is on a 80GB HD and its set to 30gb /home 2gb Swap 15gb System and the rest is a FAT32 so i can use it for swapping data between linux and windblows [06:23] is there a setting i can change so it will load my contact list? === mitch_ is now known as corinth [06:23] really?:S as soon as you start putting anything big in it dies [06:24] <^TheCrono> they said put it in /home/ [06:24] <^TheCrono> idk i'll just do what my plan was and well see, i can always reinstall [06:24] Hello All [06:24] <^TheCrono> hello [06:24] Crono, was it you who had the install problem yesterday?> [06:24] give it a go, but i have never had any success in installing programs to home [06:24] <^TheCrono> the 60gb /home/is primary or logical? [06:25] <^TheCrono> nah,i wasn't here yesterday [do you mean abotu 7 hours ago? [06:25] nah, must have been crusis or something [06:25] my mistake :) [06:25] primary i think. no 100% tho [06:25] been a while since my last install [06:25] <^TheCrono> dunno, intelilike said my plan was ok [06:25] anyone else have problems with pidgin? it just sorta hangs when i try to connect [06:26] Does anyone know how to assign volume + and - keys for kmix-kde4? [06:26] vincent_ mine is connected ok [06:26] corinth try #kubuntu-kde4 [06:26] ahh k thanks JoshOvki, one day ill get kubuntu fully working :D [06:26] Thanks! [06:26] <^TheCrono> i'll do 10/50 for system/home [06:26] vincent, same here [06:27] <^TheCrono> i would do jsut 60 for system..but someone said that wasn't a good idea [06:27] :p [06:27] TheCrono that should be ok then [06:27] but hey; at least ubuntu has great community support [06:27] <^TheCrono> primary is the one the computer boots from right? [06:27] <^TheCrono> thank god [06:27] <^TheCrono> that would make system primary [06:27] <^TheCrono> ? [06:28] are you talking about primary and slave crono? [06:28] <^TheCrono> i'm creating a partition..it says "type for new partition primary/logical" [06:28] <^TheCrono> for the 50gb /home/ [06:28] ahh [06:28] <^TheCrono> as i understand it, one is primary and all other partitions are logical no? [06:29] no idea, i thought you were talking about something else.. sorry ^TheCrono :( [06:29] <^TheCrono> i'll make system primary and the rest logical [06:29] <^TheCrono> nah, not multiple hardrives [06:31] <^TheCrono> so now i got dev/sda1 ext3 / 10kmb [06:31] hey guys. [06:31] <^TheCrono> next is /home/ [06:31] <^TheCrono> hey [06:31] hey calcmandan [06:31] i hope everyone is having a great day. [06:31] or evening. [06:31] <^TheCrono> i am sorta [06:31] i am, thanks :D [06:32] well, itd be better if i could get pidgin working, lol [06:32] for months, if not the last year, i've been using a little screenshot trick that I got used to using on a mac when i worked for apple. [06:32] i use kopete [06:32] kopete kept crashing for me, as soon as it would open it crashed [06:32] that sucks. [06:33] did you get it via repo or via the website? [06:33] repo [06:33] try getting the app through the website, and install it manually. [06:33] <^TheCrono> should i ptu the free 17mb in as just another partition..or leave it free..it exist incase i need windows [06:33] should i get it via werb? [06:33] <^TheCrono> 17gb* [06:33] ahh k thanks calcmandan.. should i uninstall the kopete i have now? [06:33] why not? [06:33] you can always redownload it later. [06:33] just apt-get remove kopete [06:33] nah i mean the version of kopete [06:34] ah thanks [06:34] i need help myself. [06:34] <^TheCrono> if i have an empty ntfs file system partition..i can use it to store files via kubuntu right? [06:34] i gotta, go. got work soon [06:34] using kubuntu... [06:34] <^TheCrono> like picuters/music [06:34] whats up? im pretty new, but ill try! [06:34] yeh sometimes crono [06:34] i have problems with it every now and then [06:34] but on the whole it works [06:34] Catch ya all later. Goodluck TheCrono [06:34] cya JoshOvki [06:35] <^TheCrono> i can change it from ext3 to ntfs later? [06:35] on a mac, the key combo is alt-$, and highlight an area and you get a screenie of that area on the desktop named screenshot001.png, 002.png, etc [06:35] i dont think so ^TheCrono [06:35] well, i've been using the same key combo [06:35] TheCrono not without losing it all [06:35] ^TheCrono: no [06:35] bye [06:35] i tied scrot to the key combo through accessibility settings in kde [06:35] <^TheCrono> of course,i know i'llloose it, but i am jsut syaing [06:35] <^TheCrono> i can change it later right? [06:36] <^TheCrono> i'm not sure if i'll need windows, but i don't want 17gb of unuseable space [06:36] the default name of the file is the date and time of the screenshot [06:36] <^TheCrono> i'll make ti ext3 for now [06:36] i've managed to get it to rename the file to screenshot.png. [06:36] <^TheCrono> can i invent a mount point like /extra/ or something? [06:36] but on the next screen, it doesn't create a new file with screenshot1.png. [06:36] ohhh... [06:36] i hear you calcmandan [06:37] i was wondering if there is a known switch to rename that will append a number. [06:37] on the filename [06:37] i dont know what it is specifically, but im almost certain there is one [06:37] i looked up the man entry for rename and it doesn't describe it [06:38] have you asked this on the #ubuntu chan? [06:38] but if i copy and paste the same item in a directory, it'll automatically append a number on the end of the filename before the extension. [06:38] calcmandan: Then likely it does not do it [06:38] no. [06:38] i know the functionality is there, i just wish it was a bit more intuitive. [06:39] i'm sure the osx screenshot app is scrot in disguise. [06:39] calcmandan: That is not a feature of the command rename but rather a feature of the file browser you are using [06:39] oooooohhhhhhh [06:39] genii: what would you suggest? [06:39] or am i stuck with date and time on the scrot? [06:40] or maybe write my own rename app and add that feature. [06:40] but learn c first. [06:40] lol [06:40] what is a alternative to amule? [06:40] calcmandan: use mv instead of rename eg: mv oldname newname [06:42] im having a brainfart. how do i setup my computer to be on a workgroup? [06:43] crwlr: man smblient may be enlightening [06:44] the top priority for kubuntu to really take off: east asian (esp. chinese) language display and input [06:44] or else it won't be used [06:46] yao_ziyuan: Well, perhaps find us some developers willing to work on it ;) [06:46] genii: there is an easy: follow what ubuntu exactly does for installing chinese language support and "complex script inputting" [06:46] genii: mv has the numbered option with --backup. is that what you're implying? [06:47] calcmandan: It has many useful options :) But yes [06:48] yao_ziyuan: Since ubuntu uses gnome and kubuntu uses kde it is not quite that simple to implement as what it may seem [06:49] genii: for input, the problem is with the SKIM package [06:49] genii: for display, the problem is that kubuntu does not ship with a good enough chinese font like ubuntu does [06:49] hey, before i tarnish my near-perfect working kubuntu, is compiz-fusion any good? [06:49] vincent_: I know how you feel about that. [06:50] vincent_: but i don't know. [06:50] genii: ubuntu's chinese font is with a minor problem. i suggest both variants use the open source "wenquanyi" fonts [06:50] yao_ziyuan: The fonts are not so hard to fix, SKIM is another matter [06:50] calcmandan: ive heard really good things about it, i might give it a whirl [06:50] genii: if i install ubuntu and then chinese language support and then kubuntu-desktop, i can use the chinese input methods well in kde [06:50] i'm running dapper/ [06:50] lts [06:51] haven't grown the balls to upgrade . [06:51] vincent_: You can go back from compiz --replace of course with kwin --replace [06:51] probably won't until the next lts comes out [06:51] genii: that is directly using scim, without skim. [06:51] i can't get wireless to work with any of the live discs. [06:51] kwin replace? [06:51] vincent_: kwin --replace yes [06:52] ohh perfect [06:52] im gonna get it as soon as i get pidgin workin [06:52] thanks genii [06:52] vincent_: alt-f2 then kwin --replace to replace default kde window manager if after doing alt-f2 compiz --replace no good/want to switch back [06:53] ill write that one down ^^ [06:53] yao_ziyuan: Perhaps make mention in #kubuntu-devel , that is where the developers hang out [06:56] <^TheCrono> can i enable the restricted drivers for ati, while using the live cd? [06:56] <^TheCrono> after i install it [06:56] <^TheCrono> kubuntu [06:57] <^TheCrono> !ati [06:57] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:57] ^TheCrono: You can, but not to the installed system, only to what the livecd runs. === joris is now known as Jonyjack [06:57] hello everybody [06:57] Well, not easily to the installed system, lets say [06:57] i have a little problem [06:58] !ask [06:58] 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. :-) [06:58] is there any french people ???

[08:55] xorg is using 82935 virt [08:56] top says nothing is using the memory...ksysguard says i have no memory lweft [08:57] top hasa line mem: of, used [08:57] yes, it says 1.2gig used [08:58] virt = The total amount of virtual memory used by the task.

[09:01] 102, 2 active, 100 sleeping 0 zombie [09:01] its not adding up [09:01] xorg is using 7%, but it still says 1.2gb is used, and i can feel it running slow [09:02] thecrono, can you ping websites?

[09:09] thecrono, can we have a pastebin of df -h [09:09] that's terrible preformance [09:10] if your disks are really full systems run like dogs [09:10] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53136/ [09:10] i jsut installed kubuntu to an empty drive about 1 hour ago [09:11] thecrono, ok disk space is fine too [09:11] drive typ? [09:11] ext3 [09:12] thats the filesystem [09:12] ppibburr, do you mean sata / pata / scsi? [09:12] oh,i don't know the type [09:12] i don't know that, my computer runs xp fine [09:13] i can probably run hl2 3 times :D [09:13] thecrono, can we have your lspci please [09:13] ive neevr had such bad preformance [09:13] pending drive and access... [09:13] what is that? [09:13] lspci, a command [09:13] thecrono, its a cli command :D [09:14] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53138/ [09:16] thecrono, have you got all the latest updates for your system? [09:17] ? [09:17] what do you mean? [09:17] thecrono, sudo atp-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [09:17] i did that in adept [09:17] i cannot update anyways [09:17] why not? [09:17] somethign about lock [09:18] thecrono, thats probably cos adept is open [09:18] close x, and in a terminal tty [09:18] since performance is slow :) [09:19] thecrono, does it boot fast enough? [09:19] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [09:19] boots fine [09:19] thecrono, kde3 or kde4? [09:19] 3.5.8 [09:19] thecrono: does the slowness persist when your computer is detached from the net, by the way? [09:19] ive never detached it from the net heh [09:20] but probably [09:20] my latency on this server for instance is 58ms [09:20] i'm not doing anything netwise [09:21] thecrono: well, because if you have mystery slowness, online computer, nothing that looks like the cause in the process list, one option is that your computer has been taken over and the processes doing stuff hidden. and sometimes when you are netless, some of such processes fail to be less busy [09:21] oops: fail to be so busy [09:21] you mean someone cracked into my PC..in other words? [09:22] no [09:22] dunno, why,i have nothing on it but kubuntu heh [09:22] thecrono: not saying that is the cause, it's just one of the possible causes [09:22] well, i see no other options [09:24] let m,e try rebooting [09:24] thecrono: but if you have no services and have not installed software from weird sources, or ran weird commands/scripts, it's unlikely cause, I think. [09:25] thecrono, i'd try a reboot [09:25] k [09:29] well,its using 418MB now [09:29] thecrono, keep top running to see if it climbs [09:29] which is still too much [09:30] 412 [09:31] thecrono, its not bad. theres a lot of stuff sat "ready" from what i read [09:31] 448 [09:31] is 440ish mb normal? [09:31] yea, i run around 300-400 [09:32] thecrono, least its going down :) [09:32] thecrono, let mefire up my virtualbox [09:32] how do i make firefox my default browser? [09:33] 451mb [09:33] now its taking time for windows to load [09:33] konquerer is taking FOREVER [09:34] edit prefferences system defualts, i n firefox [09:34] mem: 255944K total, 251912K used, 4032K free here [09:34] 43mb now heh [09:34] thecrono: Linux always tries to use allyour memory [09:34] why? that's stupid [09:34] thecrono: memory which is not in usebyapplications is used to cache data [09:34] now chat is going slowe [09:34] no, it'sa very good idea [09:34] it speeds things up considerably. [09:35] thecrono, windows does it too. why do you think you need a swap file [09:35] thecrono: not using memory is stupid, its used for buffers/cache [09:35] not when it turns your computer into a slideshow [09:35] thecrono: lack of memory is not your problem, I'd guess. [09:35] thecrono: linux automatically fills memory with cached data. When an app needs to use some of that memory the cached data is automatically deleted. [09:36] now its starting to freeze every coupleof seconds [09:36] so apps still get to use as much RAM as they need [09:36] 445mb used out of 12## [09:36] that's normal, stop worrying, it isn't the cause of your problems. [09:36] then what is? [09:37] Might be a DMA issue. try running "sudo hdparm /dev/sda" where sda is the device for your harddisk (might be sdb, sdc etc depending on which cable it's on) [09:37] see if DMA is turned on. [09:39] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53139/ [09:40] is it a SATA drive? [09:40] no idea [09:40] my HD? [09:40] yeah [09:40] my HD is i think [09:40] in that case DMA's not the issue, hmm. [09:41] try running "top" to see processor usage [09:41] see if anything's caning your processor [09:41] i'mrunning it now..nothing is [09:41] PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S PU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND [09:41] 4550 root 15 0 62648 28m 8012 S 7.0 2.3 2:19.45 Xorg [09:41] 5665 thecrono 16 0 31744 15m 12m S 4.3 1.3 0:16.17 ksysgu === eva is now known as eva__ [09:42] the only two processes using memory [09:42] hmm, yeah, looks fine [09:42] * SlimeyPete scratches head [09:43] Mem: 1294188k total, 463224k used, 830964k free, 45888k buffers [09:43] Mem: 449288k total, 440444k used, 8844k free, 9920k buffers [09:43] my cpu is a 2.5ghz celeron too [09:43] ^^ mine, and I have no problems [09:43] hmmmm [09:43] i doubt xorg is using 2.5ghz of processing power [09:44] and i don't have this problem with windows, so it can't be the cpu [09:44] thecrono: more interesting is the 2nd line (used +/- buffers) [09:44] shouldn't be. [09:44] why is that llutz? [09:44] thecrono: because that is the amount of really used RAM without buffers/cache [09:45] SlimeyPete, you are running at 98% mem. thecrono you are running at 35% mem [09:45] 45mb used, and the rest is buffer?

[09:46] ah right, yes [09:47] thecrono: because its intelligent RAM-Usage [09:47] thecrono: it's buffering data which you have used or might use. This is sensible, and every half-decent OS does it. [09:47] don't worry, the buffer automatically clears when apps need to use more RAM. [09:48] this doesn't get us much closer to solving your problem though,hrm. [09:48] I wonder what graphics driver xorg is trying to use... might be VESA. [09:48] thecrono: use "free -m" to see how much RAM really is in use, but like SlimeyPete says, thats not your problem [09:48] SlimeyPete, update chipset driver maybe [09:48] yeah, could be a chipset issue I guess [09:49] chipset drives the ram :D [09:49] hrm [09:50] i now have 3 browsers open with about 20 tabs in each [09:50] everything runs fine [09:50] cept chat is refreshign slow [09:50] [i see a line go down when ever a new one appears] [09:50] thecrono, weird [09:50] right, graphics drivers then, I'll bet [09:50] thecrono, what client you using forchat? [09:50] in fact I'd put money on it [09:50] konvorsation [09:50] SlimeyPete, me too [09:51] i installed restricted ati drivers [09:51] thecrono: glxinfo |grep rendering [09:51] thecrono, try another like xchat and do what llutz says [09:51] thecrono: do a "less /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and look for section(s) named "Device", and let us know what they say [09:51] you did? hmm [09:51] were things running slow before that? [09:52] direct rendering: yes [09:52] I wonder if you've found a bug/incompatibility in ATI's rubbish drivers.... [09:52] i didn't ntoice..the first thing after installing kubuntu was i got restricted drivers [09:52] i planned on getting compiz [09:53] thing is, ATI (until very recently) paid little attention to Linux and their drivers were/are... erm, "interesting" to use [09:53] * ActionParsnip hates ATi LOTS [09:53] I'm using them without a problem, mind [09:53] i like the were/are :) [09:54] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53140/ [09:54] thecrono: try "glxinfo |grep rendering" [09:54] thecrono: ah, I more meant the "device" section, not "inputdevice" :) [09:54] that's the entier result pete [09:55] thecrono, can we have a pastebin of the whole xorg.conf please [09:55] O.o [09:55] that was the whole thing [09:55] thecrono: your xorg only contains that one input device section and nothing else? O.o [09:55] thecrono@Neckron-Ninty-Nine:~$ glxinfo |grep rendering [09:55] direct rendering: Yes [09:55] thecrono@Neckron-Ninty-Nine:~$ [09:55] did you scroll down? [09:55] (using the cursor keys or pageup/down) [09:55] there was nothing to scroll down tolol [09:55] cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:55] thecrono, its a bit more, thats the output going through less. press enter to scroll down [09:55] th crono, enter [09:56] use the cat and pastbin the whole thing [09:56] how do i copy the whole thing?..its bigger than my screen [09:57] start selecting and drag [09:57] thecrono, kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:57] thecrono, you can read the file but wont be able to edit it :) [09:57] draging should scroll [09:57] ah, the many ways of doing the same thing in Linux ;) [09:57] pattern not found, press return [09:58] dragging doesn't scroll [09:58] smiley :) [09:58] in konsole? [09:58] thecrono: hrm, you know what, there's an easier way to see if it's the ATI drivers, hang on [09:59] thecrono, just open the xorg.conf file and pastebin it. you only need kdesu / sudo to edit it [09:59] thecrono: "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.ati ; sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.1 /etc/X11/xorg.conf" then log in and out again (these commands will cause X to use your old drivers rather than the ATI ones) [10:00] cp: cannot stat `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.1': No such file or directory [10:00] thecrono: read off timestamps, ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.STAMP [10:00] where stamp is a timestring [10:01] huh? [10:01] ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf* [10:01] that will list all backups [10:02] /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.ati [10:02] is that it? O.o [10:02] you just made the ati tho [10:03] the install script should make a backup [10:03] man wtf, why the heck when i paste somethign into cjhat and hit enter....it enters on the konsole [10:03] that is so annoying [10:03] thecrono: hrm, ok, two steps forward and one back, heh... [10:03] Hey there im having trouble with Ktorrent on kubuntu, yesterday it worked fine, today it wont connect to any trackers, and no the trackers are not down and there are plenty of seeds for this torrent [10:04] thecrono: that doesn't sound normal either O.o but I don't know xchat very well (I assume that's what you're using) [10:04] konvorsation [10:04] oh right, well, I don't use that, does sound like odd behaviour though. [10:04] i paste into the bar..it pastes fine..i hit ENTER..and knsole goes down a line [10:04] ?? [10:04] do you have your mouse over the konsole window at the time? [10:04] no [10:05] weird. [10:05] whats running in konsole? [10:05] anywyas, about this preformance problem? [10:05] nothing [10:05] thecrono: ok, do "kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf", that will openagraphical editor for you with the file in [10:05] you may find it more intuitive than using the terminal [10:06] x and kde not handling events correctly [10:06] ppibburr: does sound odd, doesn't it [10:06] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53141/ [10:06] very, and sounds like a good place to have a brea [10:06] break [10:07] see, i paste into konvorsatyion..when i hit enter, konquerer loads the next link [10:07] if every widget in Qt is getting the event [10:07] ?? [10:07] which they are [10:08] pete,will you be on tomorrow? [10:08] its 5am here [10:09] i need to sleep [10:09] graphical apps contain widgets, from the root Object to windw, screen button etc, each can handle events, X passes input events to kde/Qt/Gtk, then handles them, but the handler is broke [10:09] and i don't wanna really go through all the same stuff with someone new :D [10:09] thecrono: ok, try this: do "kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf", this will give you admin rights so that you can edit the file. Change "fglrx" to "ati" and log out and back in again. If you can't get graphics back, log in in text mode and run "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.ati /etc/X11/xorg.conf" to get backto where you are now. [10:10] thecrono: I am always here, but not always watching (I'm at work during your night-time cos I'm in the UK ;) ) [10:10] thecrono: but if I'm watching then I'll be happy to help [10:11] where is fglrx? [10:11] ok [10:11] letme relog [10:11] thecrono: in the section that's just called "Device", it's a little way down. [10:12] the Input to manager mis-com could lead to application lag [10:12] like my first gui's >.< === Sbucatone is now known as Sbucatino === ubuntu is now known as TheCrono [10:18] i lost video [10:19] using live cd now [10:20] what was the command to switch bag?

[10:22] TheCrono: which partition on HD contains / ?

This started happening after I upgraded Kdesktop some other things: /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_once_init_enter_impl === ubuntu is now known as thecrono [10:32] /etc/x11/xorg.conf.ati no such fileor directory [10:32] ............

[10:34] the char for X and the char for x arequite different [10:37] how different is the Linux cmd line then the MSDos cmd line? [10:38] quite [10:38] same basic principles [10:38] just diff cmds to learn [10:38] i'm going to sleep now [10:39] you be on in about 18 hours pete? [10:39] konsole is more powerful than cmd though [10:39] thecrono: maybe [10:39] poke me, if I'm watching I'll help you out some more if I can [10:39] 7 hours ago..tomorrow heh [10:39] well, i sitll ahve that problem [10:39] you got it installed then crono ? [10:39] bad preformance one [10:40] yes, but it runs horrible [10:40] i'llleave it as check it in the monring, later === thecrono is now known as thecronoAFK [10:41] scubar: the shell evniroments are powerful, and since linux usually ships with, and enables getting other scripting languages easily and command line is powerful [10:42] hi i have a simple question: Does "sudo reboot" command make any harm to the system when run repeatedly to restart system? [10:49] hey, nobody know how to solve "undefined symbol: g_once_init_enter_impl" error? [10:50] <_StefanS_> de4dsnake: where do you see it? [10:50] well after upgrading kdesktop and some other things, i cannot run any program that is not made particularily for kde [10:51] so when for example i try to run firefox in konsole [10:51] i get the following: [10:51] "/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_once_init_enter_impl" [10:51] <_StefanS_> did your upgrade finish correctly? [10:52] well adept didnt complain about anything [10:52] <_StefanS_> de4dsnake: open a konsole and do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:52] its been more than a week ago when i did this upgrade [10:53] ok [10:53] doing now [10:53] <_StefanS_> de4dsnake: this thread might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=583537 [10:53] if only firefox worked :P [10:53] ill try konqueror [10:54] <_StefanS_> heh [10:55] yea i saw that thread [10:55] didnt help much [10:55] didnt understand what to do [10:55] after the ldd thing [10:56] <_StefanS_> paste the output from ldd to paste.ubuntu-nl.org, and let me check it out [10:56] hi [10:58] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53147/ [10:59] <_StefanS_> de4dsnake: looks fine, can you send me the output from dist-upgrade in konsole?

[11:03] and I have a Intel 82810 intergrated graphics driver [11:03] !lash64 [11:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about lash64 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:03] <_StefanS_> Scubar: medibuntu.org, install flashplugin-nonfree [11:03] and i have 512 mb memory [11:03] !flash64 [11:03] You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [11:03] awww i dont use firefox [11:03] i use opera [11:03] is there a way i can get intel drivers on there as it is old [11:04] and when i use safe graphics mode, and it all loads and a bar with three colours repetedly apperas, i cant do ANYTHING [11:04] if i turn it off the bars dissaper but i can still see the place where they where [11:04] i am trying to run it LIVE [11:05] now im on windows [11:05] <_StefanS_> jhend60: what intel gfx chipset do you have? [11:05] 82810 [11:05] <_StefanS_> wow thats old [11:05] i no [11:05] it should still work [11:05] ok, im back, logged out and back in but still cant run anything thats not for kde [11:05] this is an old pc im saving up for new [11:05] <_StefanS_> well, vesa (safe mode) should work [11:06] it just has a bar at top [11:06] <_StefanS_> de4dsnake: http://www.debianhelp.org/node/11241 [11:06] with colours [11:06] and stops loading off disk [11:06] no more disk action [11:06] <_StefanS_> de4dsnake: do updatedb and locate libglib [11:06] <_StefanS_> de4dsnake: you might have some extra copy lying around that disrupts the gtk stuff (firefox, thunderbird etc..) [11:06] i have never used ubuntu or linux before [11:06] only windows so im a total noob [11:06] <_StefanS_> jhend60: download the alternate install, it will do it in text mode [11:07] god [11:07] my nets not to fast [11:07] and i will get in trouble if i download anymore [11:07] i will go over cap [11:08] is there any difference in alternate cd?

[11:13] apparently there are a few 82810 graphics probs [11:13] <_StefanS_> de4dsnake: try this first [11:13] hmm, everythign including vmware ran fine before i upgraded kdesktop [11:13] <_StefanS_> jhend60: yes unfortunately [11:13] <_StefanS_> jhend60: try with a recent bios is possible [11:13] <_StefanS_> is/if [11:14] <_StefanS_> de4dsnake: sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib.old && sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libglib-* /usr/local/lib.old/ [11:14] ???

[12:04] <_StefanS_> de4dsnake: should take while to complete, but hopefully it will work [12:05] jhend60: for text-based install, yes [12:06] <_StefanS_> de4dsnake: it should reinstall all gtk stuff.. [12:06] i see [12:06] so its either do that or get new pc? are those my only options? [12:06] it keeps asking me for confirmations [12:06] is there a yes for all|?

[12:08] yes [12:08] <_StefanS_> ok go ahead [12:08] ok man, thx a lot. brb [12:10] ok, back still no success [12:10] im going for lunch now, ill b back in 40 mins [12:11] thx a lot for trying to help me out. [12:11] <_StefanS_> ok [12:12] thanks for every1 trying to help me to GET linux started... [12:12] i guess ill have to wait... [12:12] <_StefanS_> no problem, it was just bad luck on the i810 [12:20] how can i change the default file manager dolphin to konqueror? [12:21] normaly if i open my home folder over the system menu, dolphin starts... [12:21] or if i plugin any usb storage and say "open in a new window" dolphin will be started. [12:22] !d3lphin | noaXess [12:22] noaXess: Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. [12:23] ok.. thanks NickPresta [12:25] will d3lphin will be supported or developed for the future? cause on the web from d3lphin.. : but at the moment I have really no time to code on D3lphin [12:25] https://marrat.homelinux.org/D3lphin [12:26] noaXess, d3lphin is Dolphin ported to KDE 3.5.X. In KDE 4.0+, you use Dolphin, which is updated and works better (apparently). [12:27] NickPresta: aha... okay.. [12:27] where to get more features? plugins? [12:27] noaXess, for what? [12:27] noaXess, I don't know of a place. You could check http://kde-look.org [12:27] ActionParsnip: g. for the compressing feature with right klick.. [12:28] noaXess: likely, as its under active development [12:28] noaXess, you need to look into service menus [12:28] can only use tar or gziped tar. or bzipped tar.. and sometime i need zip :) [12:28] noaXess, http://legroom.net/2007/04/20/adding-custom-actions-kde-context-menus [12:29] noaXess, theres a zip one there you can modify [12:30] noaXess, you should google more. That took me 3 seconds [12:30] ActionParsnip: okay. :=) [12:35] does any one know how to change chanell [12:35] ?????????/ [12:35] You mean in your irc client? [12:35] sakey: as in join a new one or just change? [12:35] /join #pick_a_channel [12:35] /join #channelname [12:36] it will be wiorth while to read a few irc beginner guides. :) [12:36] !irc [12:36] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [12:38] ActionParsnip: ha :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588321 [12:39] noaXess, see, if you'd done that first you wouldnt have to ask [12:39] noaXess, good find though :) [12:40] ActionParsnip: yeah.. i know.. but sometime it's easier to ask.. get some hints and tipps and then mostly it work :) [12:40] thax but will i find the chanel name's?? [12:40] noaXess, I'd google first then ask for help :D [12:40] where will i find the channel names [12:40] sakey, what client do you use? [12:40] ActionParsnip: yeah..

[15:37] blueskaj : I have a recent NVIDIA 8600 or something. So besides HW, all should be available ?

[17:00] because M$ doesn't handle i/o in the same way that linux does [17:00] thecronoAFK, try disabling restricted driver, maybe that will rule out whether is graphics issue [17:00] intelikey: my username changed from henrik_ to root__ .... [17:01] root__ ok what did you learn ? from the startx command ? [17:01] restarting, brb [17:02] does it give an EE: message for why it doesn't start ? [17:02] will you guys be around in 3 hours or so?..i'ma go for a bit in an hour [17:02] thecronoAFK someone will. [17:02] say it starts up gdm, but i can'ät go anywhere from there [17:02] if i try to login [17:02] intelikey: I suspect XGL issues with his setup [17:03] it just sets back to login again [17:03] and says [17:03] genii thecrono ? [17:03] your session lasted shorter than 10 seconds [17:03] intelikey: Yeah [17:03] and then it refers to the paste I did earlier [17:03] genii yes. just trying to rule out all others. [17:04] root__ but you did try "startx" didn't you ? see gdm is not going to be as forthcomming with information as the startx script === |aleksanteri| is now known as aleksanteri [17:04] oh... i'll try.. [17:04] brb again [17:05] ok [17:05] without the ati drivers, it runs slower [17:05] the windows tear apart when i move them [17:06] but chat works faster lol [17:06] genii what do you think on "root henrik"s problem ? it's bound to be in userland but what ? [17:06] so it is graphics issue then [17:06] is there another ati driver? [17:06] intelikey: Let me catch up on scroll, I have been in #ubuntu giving help ad missed the nature of the issue [17:07] i dont know, ive got nvidia myself. but i read ati is releasing the drivers opensource [17:07] i would expect new, decent ait drivers coming in soon [17:07] intelikey: r give me a synopsis ;) [17:07] i hope, can't run compiz on vesa [17:07] *or [17:07] u should also check ur xorg.conf [17:08] i wonder if i can run 3d applications though [17:08] genii ok. gdm works but user login blanks back to gdm he deleted .kde and says it's not a free space issue. [17:08] intelikey: OK, got it [17:08] i don't know how [17:08] deleted .kde [17:08] wow, thats dumb [17:09] however; i have not had him do a df or anything. only sujested trying startx for an error message [17:09] @ genii ^ [17:09] why would someone delete .kde? [17:09] intelikey: Thanks for the concise explanation :) [17:10] coreymon77: to set kde back to default, i do that quite often [17:10] coreymon77 trying to get the system where they could login to kde ??? [17:10] dont you ned .kde though? [17:11] coreymon77 kde will make it if it's not there [17:11] coreymon77: It is supposed to get re-created if not there [17:11] that's the point [17:11] genii: since when has linux ever done what its supposed to do? :P [17:11] what do i need to check in xorg.conf [17:12] i dont know, u need to find sum1 who knows a lot about x11 [17:12] and make him check for u [17:12] genii you're up.

It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions. [17:19] gaim conflicts with gaim ??? [17:19] yeah, moving windows tears them, and the screen refresh rate appears to be garbage [17:19] Thanks. :D [17:20] errr kubuntu-desktop conflicts with gaim ??? [17:20] thecrono_: what processor do you have? [17:20] thecrono: Also you are using some ATI card, I think I recall perhaps x1650 or such model.

And how did you last install or put the driver onto kubuntu for the ATI ? From restricted drivers, or compiled it, etc? [17:21] intelikey, says "scanning for devices" and then "no devices found" [17:21] intelikey, says "scanning for devices" and then "no devices available", sorry [17:21] restricted drivers [17:21] and restarted [17:22] phoenixz err crap. sorry. i don't know then.

[17:23] good [17:23] thecrono_: you should paste us the xorg.conf with ur ati drivers enabled [17:23] ok [17:23] does the most recent hardy alpha have KDE4 as default?

[17:40] ok [17:40] hi there [17:40] is anyone here still using dapper drake, or have you all upgraded already? [17:40] thecrono, another way is to : Open adept package manager, On the menu of that screen you will want to click on Adept -> Manage Repositories. Click the Kubuntu software tab,check all the boxes "X". The same goes for the third party software tab. Close,and then in the terminal "sudo apt-get update".Now you have more sources for applications other than the defaults that came with Kubuntu [17:40] how to fix firefox downloads dialog - stuff like "Open" and "Open destination folder" don't work? [17:41] sorry jazzles upgraded here [17:41] thecrono maybe sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx* ???

[17:42] press enter and forget it [17:42] thecrono, remove it as a source [17:42] thecrono, you can do it through adept [17:42] thecrono: Also in the Software Sources bottom panel you can uncheck where it lists the cdrom [17:43] thecrono: Anyhow, after that your restricted repos should be fine [17:43] * BluesKaj backs off ...too many repository cooks :) [17:43] !kernel-image-rt [17:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about kernel-image-rt - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [17:43] heal [17:43] also, w/ Dolphin - how come i can't slide the Name/Size/Date boxes to make them shorter/longer?

[17:44] i'm still trying to add soruces [17:44] it keeps crashing [17:45] thecrono: Hmm. That sounds like some other issue entirely then [17:45] blueskaj yeah i offered an alternative to the synaptic command and his error got fourty-leven responces.

(sorry,..I'm not sure because I don't use Emerald) [18:07] its the sickness [18:07] thats where i turn on all the effects === josh__ is now known as Mediapirate [18:08] Mediapirate, okay, whats your problem... How may we be of assistance today? [18:09] oh no sorry phoenixz thanks for you help mate but i'm good [18:09] !effects [18:09] Desktop Effects are supported on graphics cards that use the default Intel and ATI drivers and the restricted !NVIDIA drivers, except for the following, which are blacklisted due to stability/compatibility issues: Intel 965, ATI Rs480 and Rv350, ATI Mobility x300, x600 and x700 - Join #compiz-fusion for anything not officially supported by Ubuntu [18:09] hellmaster ^ [18:10] i was using the effects and apparently i pressed some combination of keys by accident and turned them off [18:11] im at the compiz manager [18:11] but dont rememeber in wich part was that option [18:11] #compiz-fusion [18:12] maybe someone in there can show you [18:13] does k3b often cause ppls computers to crash? [18:13] it shouldn't [18:13] you mean X [18:13] or the whole OS? [18:13] i used it one time. it didn't crash me. [18:13] * The_Machine uses it every day [18:14] err the whole OS [18:14] after like 5mins it was ok again [18:15] so i use gnomebaker now [18:16] Mediapirate, sometimes K3B is confused by unusually poorly constructed codecs or sonydvd-r disks [18:16] ok well i was using verbatim discs [18:16] * genii hisses at Sony [18:16] oh well its ok [18:17] yeah, i made the mistake of letting wife buy sony dvdrw disks ...they don't work on pcs [18:18] Mediapirate, if you have an xvid avi file , then K3B can be confused by that as well [18:18] what do they work on blueskaj? [18:18] err well i was burning an iso of kubuntu 64bit for my mate [18:19] Mediapirate, the consumer stand alone dvd recorders [18:20] uhoh Mediapirate , that should work :P [18:20] Hi guys. I just fscked my problem disk (500GB, needed to get more memory to be able to run fsck). Anyway, it's now cloning inodes or something. First it did two inodes with one block each, now it's working on an inode with over a million blocks. If each block takes the same time to fix it ought to take abot 2/3 year to finnish this. :s What should I do? :s [18:21] Mediapirate, di you do checksum of the ISO first , just be sure ? [18:21] kaminix: The drive was ext2 or ext3? [18:22] di=did [18:22] genii: ext3 [18:22] kaminix: Was it part of a raid1 setup? [18:22] errr no [18:23] genii: Nope, just a simple USB drive. MyBook Essential 500GB [18:24] kaminix: Ah, OK. Could be going kaput then. I've seen 3 like that now [18:24] (the WD MyBooks) [18:25] I've had problems using fsck on it before. It still works fine, except some non-daily functions like df -h, fsck etc. [18:25] kaminix: Do you have sync as a mount option? [18:26] Not sure genii, why? [18:28] kaminix: For removable drives "sync" is better than "defaults" which has "nosync" for an option. Sync means not to leave any unwritten blocks of data around in computer buffer. So all is written to disk then tidied up right when you do it. So yanking the drive does not result in corrupt/unfinished disk writes [18:28] Mediapirate, stating the obvious, but I have to ask this: did you choose "Burn DVD ISO Image" on K3B ? [18:28] genii: Thanks, that I have needed to know for quite awhile ^^ [18:29] yes blueskaj i did. Oh well not to worry [18:29] my mate whats to know how you "change resolution in the console"? [18:30] he thinks he knows but want to know if there is an easier way [18:30] Mediapirate, sometimes it won't work cuz the ISO is a CD ISO image, not a DVD ISO ... silly but true [18:30] ok thanks mate [18:31] Mediapirate svgatextmode set that up and you can change console rez on the fly [18:32] thanks [18:33] i wouldn't use fbcon with it though no need adding confusion to the display hardware [18:34] good morning folks [18:34] sebastian^ [18:35] thanks intel_ikey [18:35] heh. welcome [18:36] morning in germany ?...hmm it's afternoon here in eastern canada :) [18:36] late morning you know...

[19:19] intelikey: Do you mean shared screen or so? [19:19] also, does ark support .part files? === Mediapirate is now known as Mediapirate|AWAY [19:19] thecrono: Yes, we were trying to unstick Adept so you could remove all the fglrx stuff before continuing to next step of installing new ati drivers [19:19] i got 4 700mb .part files [19:20] ah yes, how do i do that again? [19:20] thecrono: then just cat them together [19:20] i did the sudo kill #### [19:20] what's after that? [19:20] 5465* [19:21] thecrono: in a konsole type cat FILE1.part FILE2.part > FULL-FILE [19:21] thecrono: Open Adept now and search for fglrx. Make sure you un-install things there which are installed [19:21] hello, i tried to install the KDE env. from a Kubuntu live CD on a Ubuntu OS. (all gutsy) i did not succeed using apt-cdrom ...!! Some says it would work if i use an alternate ubuntu CD . Is this info real ? thanks [19:21] put all of the .part files there [19:21] thecrono: Then back to http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide#Method_2:_Install_the_Catalyst_8.1_Driver_Manually [19:22] shalom to all. i left. [19:22] is there any way to put kubuntu into permanate admin mode, so i don't have to type a password for ever single command? [19:23] well, i got a problem..adept foudn two fglrx and both were not installed [19:23] thecrono. I dont know about kunbuntu but in some distro you can login simply as root [19:23] with a root passwd [19:24] i select things lsited as 'installed' and required remove genii? [19:24] xorg-video-driver was listed as installed for fglrx [19:24] Hi. My Gateway ML6720 laptop has a Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 graphics card that's supposed to use the "i810" drivers, however X fails to start. I get the warning "I810: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1)". Here's my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/m4b09751 [19:24] thecrono: Just the ones which have actually fglrx in the name for now [19:25] well fglrx has 4 results, none installed.hows that? [19:25] thecrono: Thats fine then. So exit the package manager [19:26] i did: sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++5 dkms [19:26] and its going [19:26] it still wants my gibbon cdrom [19:26] :/ [19:26] i don't have a gibbon cdrom [19:26] thecrono: So then hit ctrl-c to interrupt it [19:27] hello, i tried to install the KDE env. from a Kubuntu live CD on a Ubuntu OS.

Is this info accurate ? thanks [19:27] trial and error psycose [19:27] try the alternate then ask [19:27] thecrono: cat /etc/apt/sources.list and put the reults of that into pastebin please [19:27] :D [19:27] hey all, im very new to kubuntu...i would like to ask where i can find desktop themes and how do i install it? [19:27] !paste [19:27] 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) [19:28] !theme [19:28] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [19:28] awesme! thanks [19:28] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53207/ [19:29] thecrono: Reading [19:29] Ma Salaam riyaadh [19:29] k [19:29] thecrono: please excuse me, i want to ask before try, that is the power of the knowledge... if you don't know don't answer ;-) [19:29] np, thouhg, i don't know the answer [19:29] maby genii does [19:30] thecrono: Put a # at the beginning of line 6 open it with: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [19:30] thecrono: Then after putting the # ctrl-x then Y then Enter [19:30] they need to get a universe copy/paste hotkey...each program i have uses a diffrent method of copy/paste..and none work together [19:31] psycose: Yes, the alternate or dvd can be used as a mini-repository with apt-cdrom but not the usual one since the livecd part takes too much room on the cd [19:32] y [19:32] its downlaoding now..appears to have worked [19:32] thecrono: Good, finally we are progressing [19:32] yay! [19:33] genii: thanks for your response !!! [19:33] i am doing this and wanting compiz, bnecause i want to start leanring code so i can change the KDe layout drasticly..starting with python [19:33] psycose: Anytime [19:33] already have an idea i want to try...even though i know jack about python lol [19:33] thecrono: Work needs me a minute or three but I'll be around. If you get hung up on the tutorial wait til i get back and we'll go rom there [19:34] ok [19:37] is there a bug in the graphics when uploading the gusty live dvd? [19:39] Hi all Iam new to linux and tryig stuff.... [19:39] thecrono: OK, back. Any progress? [19:39] sometimes everything hangs [19:40] is there some keys to press to get out of it? [19:40] Vermux: Depends on the video card. i810 don't like vesa driver for instance [19:40] is there a kde mail client similar to evolution that will connect to an ms exchange server? [19:41] Guits: If it's a graphical app freezing try ctrl-alt-esc then put it on frozen window and click [19:41] Guits: If in commandline try ctrl-c [19:41] the whole desktop freezez [19:41] but the mouse === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde [19:42] Guits: when you do ctrl-alt-esc you should get a big X or a skull and crossbones for the cursor which will kill any window you put it on. so if a certain window is freezing things this will close it forcibly [19:43] thecrono: Alive over there? [19:43] um yeah [19:44] i have tried that but no big x [19:44] was talking about how the grizzly man was eaten :O [19:44] how do i create deb packages? [19:45] thecrono: Ah, that nut who went to go live with them, yeah [19:45] is that the: sh ati-driver-installer-8-01-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/gutsy command? [19:45] thecrono: Yes [19:45] he shoulda had a gun [19:45] him and his girl friend were eaten [19:45] thecrono: use bash instead of sh there hwever [19:45] by the very bear they were talking about a few days before [19:45] bash atiblah blah>?

[19:47] thecrono: Are you in the same dir you downloaded ati-driver-installer-8-01-x86.x86.run into? [19:47] ah, i need to downlaod it [19:48] haven'rt dl it yet [19:48] its in /home/technical/ [19:48] how do i point it there? [19:48] * genii slaps thecrono lightly on the wrist [19:48] //home/technical/ * [19:48] three slashes [19:48] not two [19:48] w/e anyways lol [19:49] itas downlaoded [19:49] thecrono: You downloaded the file to a network drive ?

[19:49] and it said they were locked [19:49] couldn't enable them [19:49] thecrono: One thing at a time :) [19:50] now what? [19:50] thecrono: does: ls show the right file there? [19:50] thecrono@Neckron-Ninty-Nine:~$ ls [19:50] Desktop Emulators Technical [19:51] already got my emulators on there :D [19:51] thecrono: you need to "cd Technical" and yes, linux is case sensitve [19:52] one quick question..is there anyway to make xchat black background with white letters...its hurting my eyes with whtie bakcground rgey l;etters [19:54] nosrednaekim: Odd that cd ~ would dump in /home and not /home/name [19:54] woah... thats odd [19:54] err..oen sec..blakc text black background [19:54] Is ther an inbuilt firewell in linux? === Mediapirate|AWAY is now known as Mediapirate [19:55] ok, its good [19:55] Mediapirate: yes [19:55] Mediapirate: it is called iptables [19:55] !firewall [19:55] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [19:55] i installed that appl btw [19:55] I sugg. guard dog [19:56] HI everybody! [19:56] thecrono: So the directory Technical is actually located globally someplace like /home/yourusername/Technical ? [19:56] its /home/technical/ [19:56] nothign is above home [19:56] er, well, system stuff is [19:57] like etc, src etc etc [19:57] I have just installed Kubuntu on my laptop and I ve forgot the adm passwd i ve set. is there any way to reset it or will i have to reinstall everythiing? [19:57] thecrono: You have a user whose login name is "technical" [19:57] ? [19:57] no [19:57] thecrono is the only user [19:57] i created the folder technical [19:57] for..technical stuff [19:57] instead of throwing it onto /home/ [19:58] How do i forward a port in linux firewall? or isn't it that sorta firewall [19:58] kdesu kate /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common [19:59] that next right? [19:59] to blacklist old drivers [19:59] Pliz Help me guyss!! [19:59] thecrono: Hmm. OK. at any rate, go into the directory the ati file is at. like: cd Technical if it showed there when you did the ls commmand [19:59] 1 .run 1.changes. and 4.debs [20:00] if it showed there? [20:00] do you want me to copypasta? [20:00] I cant remember the adm passwd i ve set how can I reset a new one. [20:00] ouch oem [20:00] !root | oem [20:00] oem: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:00] there is no spoon [20:00] oem: well, you can do "sudo passwd root" [20:02] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53211/ [20:02] genii [20:02] hello does anyone knows a walkaround ktorrent error "error reading past the end of file?"

[20:03] thecrono: looks good [20:04] thanks :) i will do the same i suppose [20:04] fglrx has been blacklisted [20:05] even and even if I do "passwd oem" it ask me the current passwd [20:05] getit command not found???

[20:07] !kdesudo | thecrono [20:07] thecrono: In KDE, use « kdesudo » (Gutsy) or « kdesu » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [20:08] i know [20:08] You may also need to edit the file (if it exists): [20:08] sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-restricted [20:08] Put a # in front of the line "blacklist fglrx", if it is present. Otherwise, the kernel module will not load automatically, and you will not get 3D acceleration. === Mediapirate is now known as Mediapirate|AWAY [20:08] that file is empty [20:09] oem: when you reboot your computer follow these instructions [20:09] oem: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53212/ [20:09] thecrono: from what I remember, the file is actually /etc/default/linux-restricted-common [20:10] thecrono: this is the ati installer right?

[20:10] i'm doing the manual install of the new drivers [20:10] hey, do you guys/gals know what the big difference between the restricted Nvidia driver that comes with ubuntu and the one you d/l from the nvidia site? I've noticed that with the restricted driver that I get from ubuntu I can't detect my monitor properly and that it doesn't come with the Nvidia config manager [20:10] yes [20:10] thecrono: right.... well then the file I just mentionedis the correct one [20:10] val0: Nvidia's drivers are usually newer. [20:11] k [20:11] Thanks earthcreed. I am goingg to try that!! [20:11] when i try to configure the opengl driver on the xine motor of kaffeine, i have an error message: impossible to initialize the new video driver opengl [20:11] that file is empty also [20:11] maby its jsut doesn't exit [20:11] :D [20:12] thecrono: Sorry for lag, boss needed me right away to help unload some stuff outside, no time to type out why here, etc [20:12] oem: remember to reset your user password it is passwd e.g. passwd oem [20:12] dunno about nvidia's new drivers but ati's recommended new drivers don't work very well...the default restricted driver is much better on my setup [20:12] genii, i'm at : sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_8.452.1-1*.deb fglrx-kernel-source_8.452.1-1*.deb fglrx-amdcccle_8.452.1-1*.deb [20:12] doing that now [20:12] earthcreed thanks... also, would you think that the difference in drivers could affect the way plain text is displayed? I have this giant 28" monitor and using anything in text mode is painfull... can't tell the difference between m and m, letters all "bleed" together [20:12] thecrono: If blacklist-restricted isn't there in modprobe.d just continue to next step [20:13] thecrono: Good :) [20:13] do someone can help about my opengl issue ?

[20:36] yes, i amde firefox default [20:36] but, the issue is, pages are being incorrectly displayed [20:36] thecrono, ok now; Open Konqueror/Settings/Configure Konqueror/File Associations/ under "Known Types" choose Inode/System Directory/Application Preference Order ,move Konqueror to the top , click apply, close konq configure.Then open Konqueror Settings on the toolbar and choose "Configure View Profiles",choose "File Managaement",then save. [20:38] hrm, still opens in dolphin [20:38] when i click the computer, then home on the menu bar on the bottom [20:38] did you close konq [20:38] no [20:39] heh [20:39] close it [20:39] still dolphin [20:40] i closed it, opened it, hit file management then saved it [20:40] then clsoed it [20:40] then clicked system menu > home folder [20:40] it gave me dolphin still [20:40] !dolphin [20:40] Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. [20:41] i just did that [20:41] it changed nothing,i saved/applied it aswell [20:41] can any one tell me how to change the keyboard layoout for the login screen from qwertz to azerty?

Unfortunately I have a graphics card that is based on the via platform [21:30] dusty-sts, i use zenwalk for all my servers [21:30] It is a Via Chrome9 hc igp [21:30] I have winxp already on the first partition with 41gb.

[21:31] vermux* [21:31] Vermux, set up a 1 gig swap [21:31] id do 2gb..or maby 5..he ahs tons fo space [21:31] Vermux, then perhaps a 15 to 20 gig / partition [21:31] Vermux, unless you think you will need more space, I suggest you allot about 20gbs for the linux partition [21:31] vermux, you wanna use all 118 gb? [21:32] If you are going to be using it for most things, then go ahead and allot a lot of space. [21:32] thecrono: why wouldn't he [21:32] who knows [21:32] thecrono: yes, what else I can do with them? maybe Samba experiments?/ [21:32] lol [21:32] heya [21:32] thecrono: I got 2TB of linux filesystem :) [21:32] make a 2Gb swap file, a 15GB linux system part, and the rest as a /home/ partition [21:33] thomas_: How in the world have you got 2TBof linux filesystem! [21:33] swap part* [21:33] hi all [21:33] Hey, Doc [21:33] how can I install xgl in kubuntu ? [21:33] /home/ would be for general data, that way if somethign goes wrong with the system its on its own paritiion [21:33] thecrono: I have 1gb ram, I will install 2 GB ram more if the machine works fine [21:33] JoshOvki: 4*320GB + 500GB + 160BG + 80GB [21:33] that's good, i got 1.5gb ram, and 2gb swap [21:34] but in your case, 2gb swap is not even noticeable [21:34] thomas_: lol, how much is used? [21:34] any help? [21:34] JoshOvki: about 1.7 TB [21:34] !xgl [21:34] 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 [21:34] thecrono: but, is it enough for 3GB RAM that I will have? [21:34] any linux distro can run on 3gb ram [21:34] thomas_: how?! [21:34] hanx [21:34] thanx [21:35] JoshOvki: hmm, music, movie, tv [21:35] thomas_ = modern day black beard har ahr arr arr! [21:35] thecrono: 2GB swap partition is enough if I will have 3 GB RAM? [21:35] lol [21:35] do 5gb, it depedns on you i guess, i did 2gb [21:35] thecrono: it's bluebeard [21:35] i did 2gb because ti was recommended [21:35] i used to have debian installed on a machine with a 2gb harddrive, 128mb ram, and a 500mhz processor [21:35] thecrono: ok, Im doing 5Gb [21:35] 2GB is enough swap [21:35] more than you'll use [21:36] thecrono: system partition, u mean for the root? [21:36] Can anyone help me with my display driver problems? is there someway to force the screen to display at a higher resolution? === kyle__ is now known as g2g591 [21:36] vermux...is your computer part of the flux copacitor?..if not..2gb swap is plenty [21:36] after I installed kde4 packages, KDE3 is also using konqueror-kde4 to open links. is there a way to let it use kde3 konqueror? [21:36] Vermux: 5GB swap is wasted space [21:36] make it 2 [21:36] thomas_2 or 5gb? Im confused [21:36] 2 [21:36] 2 [21:36] 2 [21:36] lol [21:36] 2 is good [21:36] 5 - 3 [21:36] ok [21:36] agreed [21:36] :) [21:37] yes vermux, the 15gb system partition is the one linux will install to [21:37] does it matter which one is the first one? swap root and home ? [21:37] your data, like music,movies, saved stuff will be on /home/ [21:37] no but seriously, I run a dozen of apps, servers, and vmware on a 2 GB ram + 2 GB swap laptop [21:37] i don't think so [21:37] and it doesn't even use all the memory [21:38] Im making the first partition the root, then, home, and then swap [21:38] though [21:38] hrm...your leaving windows on the pc? [21:38] Vermux: if you want efficient HD use, make / first then swap and then /home [21:38] circman07 what video card do you have? what monitor do you have? do you have the right driver installed for your video card? [21:38] thecrono: yes [21:39] does windows already have its own partition? [21:39] sorry gegen aussschalter gekommen :/ [21:39] thomas_why swap in the middle? it doesnt sound logical to me [21:39] thecrono: yes, it has 41 GB [21:39] this is where it is placed on the disk [21:39] I have a laptop so I am using the built in monitor, I currently and using the Vesa drivers because I can't seem to get the via drivers to compile for my VIA Chrome9 hc IGP [21:39] because your hd otherwise always have to go to the end of the hd for swap files [21:39] the farth to the end, the longer it takes to load [that's prolly wrong, but meh it sounds good] [21:39] Vermux: now it wil be between the two most used partitions [21:40] Is it possible to edit the xorg.conf file and add monitor settings I know are supported? [21:40] circman07 what laptop do you have? what do think the resolution should be? what resolution do you currently have? [21:40] thomas_sounds good to me [21:40] Vermux: hence it will be accesed faster [21:40] anybody think different? [21:40] nope [21:40] haha, ok [21:40] ever used linux before? [21:40] I have an averatec 2260-eh1, the native resolution in windows is 1280-1024, and currently the best it will let me have is 800-600 [21:40] which one is the first, the root? [21:41] yes / [21:41] ok, sec. yes I used it a litlle [21:41] circman07 also please prefix your messages with val0 that will let me know that you are talking to me and i will respond sooner [21:41] anything you know about computers, throw it away [21:41] Vermux: are you going to resize the windows ntfs partition or did you already made it smaller on purpose [21:41] circman07 ok give me a min or two to take a look [21:41] val0: I will, sorry [21:42] thomas_I made it only 40GB [21:42] ok [21:42] nm then ;) [21:42] thomas_I have total of 160 GB [21:42] jes [21:42] great [21:42] i got 80GB :D [21:42] thomas_: why, u think I should change it? [21:42] Vermux: no I did the exact same :) [21:42] thomas_the win installation? [21:43] are there any toshiba laptop specific modules for kubuntu [21:43] i deleted my win installation [21:43] thecrono: I sadly need it for school [21:44] Vermux: no 40 GB is more than enough to run a few apps and games in windows :-) [21:44] so [21:44] i need to reset router, brb [21:44] if there are no drivers for ati in the restricted drivers section of kubuntu [21:44] what's my next move? are there any other sources i can look for for ati drivers? [21:45] thomas_: so the rest is the home aprtition, hencce 101 GB [21:45] Vermux: jeps, sounds nice :) [21:45] circman07 I just looked up the specs for your machine and the max resolution (the specs claim) is 1280 x 800, are you sure you got 1280x1024? [21:45] Vermux: thats where all the data has to come ;-), movies, music, documents [21:45] val0: nope, forgot it was widescreen. [21:46] Anyone know a good tutorial or howto on configuring bind on gusty gibbon? [21:46] Val0:1280X800 sounds right [21:46] Vermux: and in the / partions all the aplications will be hosted [21:46] thomas_: hey, why did the installation took off 2 MB from the swap partition? I specified 2 GB but it wrote to only 1998 MB? [21:46] partition* [21:46] Vermux: it unexplainable [21:46] I can't write to my VFAT partition on my second internal hard drive.. help! [21:47] thomas_?? [21:47] Vermux: no, it always happens, has something to do with the size of the clusters on your HD [21:47] thomas_it added the 2mb to the root partition [21:47] !!! [21:47] brian_: make sure permissions are set right [21:48] how do I check that? [21:48] Vermux: it realy doesn't mather [21:48] 2mb ain't makin' the difference [21:48] thomas_ ok [21:48] brian_: kcontrol === u^A is now known as u^A_ [21:49] Vermux: Back, but only briefly before logging off..anything to assist with that may not take a long time? [21:49] circman07 ok still looking brb [21:49] val0: I appreciate your help. [21:49] everytime i play a youtube video, firefox crashes [21:49] what do I do? [21:49] genii: takin care off him ;-) [21:49] genii: no thanks [21:50] thomas_: so Im making the partitions ext3 [21:50] oreth: did you try reinstalling firefox/flash? [21:50] jep [21:50] thomas_: Yes, nice, checked backscroll after checking in :) [21:50] bright idea :) [21:50] Vermux: Looks like you are in good hands [21:50] well [21:50] See everyhone later [21:50] what's the recommended way to install flash? [21:50] thomas_install boot loader? [21:50] i just let firefox install it for me [21:50] Vermux: jes [21:50] thomas_: I clicked advanced [21:51] Where do I find Kcontrol? [21:51] Vermux: MBR [21:51] I usually do it through the dialoge box that pops up when you visit a flash page (I usually just visit www.homestarrunner.com to get it to pop up) [21:51] circman07 can i query you? i want to send you a few links [21:51] well [21:51] that's how I installed it [21:51] thomas_what about it? [21:51] hmm [21:51] does any other flash work? [21:51] Vermux: install bootloader in MBR [21:51] this is a fresh install at that [21:51] oh I see [21:51] Vermux: it should have that option [21:51] val0: Sure [21:51] thomas_I dont know, it sways (hd0) [21:52] yeah [21:52] *says [21:52] thats ok [21:52] anonymous5929: all other flash seems to work === yohan is now known as gravedal [21:52] oreth: well I'll keep looking/thinking but I think i'm at a loss on this one... [21:52] thomas_: Installation is in process [21:53] Vermux: It will most likely go flawlessly ;-) [21:53] I'd stoill reccomend uninstalling/reinstalling firefox [21:53] thomas_I hope so, my machine made me a lot of problems [21:53] Where can I find Kcontrol? [21:53] use run [21:53] Vermux: under linux it will no longer ^^ [21:54] thomas_: oy, it is on 5% for 2 minutes already [21:54] just let it be [21:54] thomas_it was under linux and win earlier [21:54] ah okay [21:54] what are your thoughts on ubuntu vs sabayon? [21:54] then what was the problem Vermux? [21:54] thomas_I think the power supply made all the problems, I replaced it with a different one [21:54] ok [21:55] thomas_: The computer used to freeze [21:55] wazzup? [21:55] good luck then with the new powersuply [21:55] thomas_ up untill asn hour ago [21:55] thomas_it is a used one I found [21:55] somone here know why steam is drivin so slow in kubuntu? [21:55] well, if it was ok before it will most likely be so now [21:56] thomas_ : the computer used to freeze all the time with win, then I installed kubuntu and it didnt freeze even once, untill today [21:56] val0: I am blocked from PM's cause I am unregistered [21:56] Vermux: yeah, very strange [21:56] thomas_or yesterday [21:56] thomas_then, I got cmos checksum error when booting yesterday [21:56] Vermux: sounds like PSU indeed [21:57] circman07 register your nick with nickserv :D [21:57] val0: but thanks for all the help, sadly I have to leave work and head home to try to sort this mess out [21:57] I have 256 mb ram can I install kubuntu [21:57] thomas_when the computer froze it made a click noise [21:57] val0:I will but this is just chatzilla hastily installed on the work computer. See you guys later, and thanks [21:57] circman07 got an email? [21:57] val0: shady.revolution@gmail.com [21:57] Vermux: a click noise, I would have a look ath your HD then [21:58] circman07 i'll email it to you right now [21:58] val0: thanks a ton! [21:58] See ya guys later [21:58] circman07 no worries, lates [21:58] thomas_: do u recommend using bad blocks? do u know how to use that? [21:58] Vermux: using bad blacks? [21:58] blocks* [21:59] somone here know why steam is drivin so slow in kubuntu? [21:59] thomas_there is a program called badblocks [21:59] somone here know why steam is drivin so slow in kubuntu? [21:59] thomas_ it suppose to check the hdd [21:59] Vermux: ah no, don't knwo that, i guess it scans the hd for bad blocks? [21:59] yes [22:00] does anybody know how to use badblocks? [22:00] Vermux: you could give it a try [22:00] but just a chkdsk will do [22:00] thomas_with win or linux? [22:00] win [22:00] or in linux [22:00] what you prefer [22:00] I would prefer linux [22:00] :p [22:01] Is there anyway to tell when the last fsck was run? [22:01] thomas_just typpe chckdsk [22:01] ? [22:02] konsole [22:02] man fsck ;-) [22:02] TimS: yeah.. I think there is a way with tune2fs [22:02] how do I check permissions in Kcontrol? [22:03] permissions for what?

[22:07] too slow to type :/ He would have needed php to have ctype support [22:07] thanasi: why not just hold the power button down for a few secs instead of unplugging? [22:08] that doesn'twork [22:08] Weird, because I thought PHP 4.2.0 onwards it was the default. [22:08] brian_: click on the HD, then click modify [22:08] you... unplug? yeah, SlimeyPete has the right idea. the power button's there for a reason [22:08] hi guys. i want to clone a disk but not with dd. what can i use? [22:08] thanasi: but I have heard of this issue, quite a few people experience it and I'm not sure that there's a fix for it yet. [22:08] thanasi: dd [22:08] power button does nothing at all [22:08] thanasi: you held it down for five secs? [22:08] thanasi: k3b [22:08] erm, thecrono ^^ [22:08] yes [22:08] thomas__: clone a hard drive with k3b? [22:08] thecrono: man.. you are having all the luck... ^_^ [22:08] hehe.. hard drive and the new one is bigger than the old one [22:08] how odd. Is your computer purpose-built to break Linux or something? ;D [22:09] Daisuke_Ido: sory misread [22:09] Is there a way I can check the permissons on the hard drive? [22:09] well, my video is fixed, now i need to get flash working [22:09] Daisuke_Ido: a disk can also be a cd [22:09] Daisuke_Ido: dd takes too long [22:09] thanasi: you're cloning. nothing else is going to be any faster. [22:09] man, flash worked on the lvie cd..youd think ti would work on installation === thanasi is now known as ScorpKing [22:10] thanasi: there wont be much that would do it faster then dd [22:10] thanasi: cloning disks takes really long, especially if they are on the same bus. [22:10] thomas_: ok, I want to increase the size of the icons a litlle, but last time it causes a lot of problems when I tried to change the resolution. Do u know what to do? [22:10] ScorpKing = thanasi [22:10] Is there a way I can check the permissons on the hard drive? [22:10] Vermux: so you want bigger icons [22:10] thomas__: but normally that would be "copy a disk" or "duplicate a disk". clone tends to infer a hard disk (or partition thereof) [22:10] Vermux: check kcontrol [22:10] hi guys. i can't remember what that boot cd is called with the partition manager on. [22:10] ScorpKing: do it overnight, less hassle about the time it takes :) [22:11] ScorpKing: there is many, one is from http://gpartedclonz.tuxfamily.org/ [22:11] thomas_: first updated? [22:11] updates [22:11] ScorpKing: kubtuntu live cd [22:11] Ther only permissions I see are mount permissions and that doesn't help at all. I can't write to the drive in while Root [22:11] Anyone know of an easy way to uninstall the KDE3 desktop without messing up KDE4? [22:11] what do i ened to do to get flash-plugin-nonfree? don't use !flash i tried it [22:11] wastedfluid: the go perfectly next to each other [22:11] ScorpKing: also has Clonezilla for your cloning needs :) [22:12] brian_: sudo chown -R username:username /mount/point [22:12] Lynoure: nvm. i'll go look for the one i want. one sec [22:12] thecrono: go to adobe.com. get flash player. download the tar.gz, untar the tar.gz, cd to the directory it creates, and run the installer script [22:12] guys, I just installed kubuntu. Do I need to apply all updates or there are updates I need to be careful about? [22:12] ScorpKing: nvm me then... [22:12] didn't we already go over this? [22:12] that's it? [22:12] Vermux: just aply then [22:12] Vermux: get all updates [22:13] yep [22:13] Vermux: nothing to wory about [22:13] thomas_; I know they go completely well with each other, but I want to remove KDE3. I'm satisfied with KDE4. [22:13] * ScorpKing pass Lynoure some coffee.. [22:13] that would be a question for the kde4 channel. [22:13] then remove KDE3, although I wouldn't advise it [22:13] Why not? [22:13] "kubuntu-desktop" - right? [22:13] jep [22:14] because you'll loose alot of aplications [22:14] I think [22:14] except kubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage [22:14] I tink so too [22:14] can I work freely while updating the system? [22:14] Vermux: yep [22:14] should eb able to [22:14] It says changing of ownership not permited!! WTF? [22:14] i did [22:14] Vermux: just don't log out or reboot ;) [22:14] brian_: do it as root [22:14] will flash player integrate into firefox? [22:15] yes, thecrono [22:15] thecrono: yes, the script will put it the right place [22:15] how do I switch to root in Konsole? [22:15] sudo [22:15] sudo [22:15] Thats what I did! [22:16] hmm [22:16] sudo chown -R ect [22:16] brian_ try sudo su [22:16] val0: no [22:16] wont change a thing [22:16] brian_: unmount hd [22:16] What on earth could be causing this? [22:16] brian_: then chown [22:16] waht about resolution? can I play with the screen resolution while updating? [22:16] brian_: then mount again [22:16] Vermux: jes [22:17] thomas__ why not? will allow him to switch to root without a command to see if that actually works... the sudo that is [22:17] Vermux: you can do anything except log out, kill X11 or shut down [22:17] val0: the sudo will work fine [22:17] Still tells me "changing of ownership is not permited [22:17] um, the scripted opened in kate [22:17] val0: what on earth could be wrong with it [22:17] well, killing all processes is a big no-no too ;) [22:18] how do i run this script? [22:18] brian_: when hd is unmounted? [22:18] thomas__ i have no idea... more of a troubleshooting idea rather than a direct solution [22:18] Not when I try that action. Should I unmount it for this? [22:18] vermux you can do almsot anything while it updated [22:18] brian_: jes [22:18] ok [22:18] read what I said before [22:18] [23:16] [22:19] thecrono: to run a script from the terminal, "cd" to its location then type "sh erm, "sh ", without the <>s of course ;) [22:19] thecrono: you'll probably have to chmod 777 it first [22:20] thomas_; "kubuntu-desktop" didn't remove kde3. ;/ [22:20] Nope, that didn't help either [22:20] then do kdelibs [22:20] and kdecore [22:20] thecrono@Neckron-Ninty-Nine:~/Technical$ sudo sh install_flash_player+9+linux.tar.gz [22:20] ?? [22:20] brian_: dont know then [22:20] ok, when I change the resolution to 1024x768 and click apply it doesnt change it? [22:20] good night u all [22:20] ignore the ? [22:20] chmod 777? [22:20] thecrono: lol its an archive [22:20] thecrono: extract it first [22:20] thecrono: "tar xvzf the_tar_package" [22:20] but there is a script isnide it [22:21] thomas_; it says neither are installed.. lol, but i just logged into kde3.5.8 [22:21] Wow this sucks. It shouldn't be having this problem. [22:21] wastedfluid: reboot [22:21] somebody know why? [22:21] sigh.. don't want to do that :/ [22:21] bah. [22:21] Vermux: hmm [22:21] from 1280x1024 [22:21] Vermux: are graphix drivers installed? [22:21] vermux, what video card do you have? [22:22] vermux,kubuntu requires some good setting up to be done [22:22] but we will help you [22:22] I think I got it to work..

[22:45] i used to have an icon on the taskbar that looked like a speaker. now it had disappeared Any ideas how to get it back? [22:45] professional_min: [22:46] professional_min: yes, so are most servers [22:46] I found it difficult..need to study about sudo [22:46] thats the way linux servers are [22:46] ok, this is the problem: and it happaned also last time after I install: I cant get into administrative mode in order to change these things now. [22:46] Limbeaux: "kmix" [22:46] I just installed and updated kubuntu [22:46] hi, i wana know if my swap partition is working because I have a 1.0G.B ram and aout 98% of it is used...I'm very new to linux ,thanks [22:46] professional_min: you can get a graphical user interface (gui) [22:46] Hi, i installed kubuntu 7.10 on my USB stick, but I get GRUB Error 17 when it boots, unable to find the file on the partition.. but it does exist on the (hd1,1) [22:46] ahmos: most of that is probably in cache... [22:47] can Ubuntu desktop could be a server? [22:47] professional_min: why not? [22:47] professional_min: yes, it can [22:47] kmix doesn't give me volume adjustment. it brings up the mixer [22:47] now3d: I think you have to make it hd(0,1) [22:47] ubuntu desktop edition can also be set-up to webserver? [22:47] professional_min: yes [22:47] !lamp > professional_min [22:47] ahmos: what does "top" show as free? [22:48] nosredna_ekim: hd(0,1) would be my C drive wouldnt it tho..? [22:48] now3d: not if you are booting from the USB [22:48] nosredna_ekim: ah.. does it swap them!? [22:48] how to install GUI in ubuntu server? [22:49] my free memory is about 5% if you meant that [22:49] professional_min: sudo apt-get install kde [22:49] nosredna_ekim: i wish it just used the /dev/sd** names like normal.. why do they have to be different and use hd(0,1) etc.. [22:49] professional_min: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [22:49] wow [22:49] now3d: I think it does... [22:49] professional_min: or sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [22:49] as soon as the video started loading flash..my computer locked up and froze..had to pull the plug again [22:49] nosredna_ekim: ok, i will give it a try now, thanks for the tip [22:50] got it. I had to set sound device as autodetect [22:50] after which would it look like the desktop edition? like in windows.. [22:50] the latter installs all of the kubuntu desktop programs [22:50] later* [22:50] professional_min: yes [22:50] professional_min: yes, you need to choose if you want ubuntu or kubuntu though [22:50] anyone know hwat would cause that? [22:51] it happaned also last time after I install: I cant get into administrative mode in order to change these things now. [22:51] in system settings [22:51] what happened vermux? [22:51] which of the two could you recommend--ubuntu or kubuntu desktop in ubuntu server [22:52] professional_min: neither and then kubuntu [22:52] thecrono: graphics driversmaybe... [22:52] professional_min: I like neither [22:52] what does that have to do with grphics drivers>? [22:52] professional_min: but I guess kubuntu is better [22:52] its flash [22:52] tekteen: which one could you recommend then? [22:52] thecrono: In system settings, Im trying to go into Administrative mode under Monitor and Display, Hardware [22:53] professional_min: kubuntu or none at all. My server runs none [22:53] thecrono: it doesnt ask me for the passwd [22:53] maby you don't need one? [22:53] no, I cant access dialog boxes [22:53] thecrono: nasty! did you try it again? [22:53] I'm sorry but how I can know if the swap partition is working? [22:53] scared to lol [22:53] let me trty [22:54] thecrono: it happaned also last time after I installed [22:54] tekteen: but after successfull configuration of the server...can GUI be then disabled so that others cannot do anything to the server? since most of my collegues have no idea about linux command? [22:55] the first time I tried to change the resolution it did ask me for the password. but since then, it never [22:55] professional_min: yes [22:55] thecrono: is there a known bug for that? [22:55] professional_min: you just need to turn off kdm and x from starting on boot [22:56] or just have a password.... [22:56] tekteen what's the command? [22:56] professional_min: just make a password [22:56] * tekteen thanks jussi01 [22:56] * tekteen has also lost his mind [22:56] tekteen: what's the command to disable GUI on boot? [22:56] !helpersnack > tekteen [22:57] it crashed as soon as the box turned black [22:57] it turns grey, then black, as soon as it turns black..freeze [22:57] prg2g brb [22:57] professional_min: there is no need to do that. just like on windows you can have a password when it boots [22:57] g3g brb [22:57] okay.. [22:58] thecrono: google and see if anyone else has had tha problem,I haven't heard of it yet [22:58] ** Kubuntu meeting in a couple of minutes in #ubuntu-meeting [22:58] thanks Riddell [22:58] professional_min: I am back [22:58] tekteen: you mean during start up what will appear in the screen will look like that of UBUNTU desktop? I've tried ubuntu desktop before actually.. and I like its welcome screen and login [22:59] professional_min: It will look like the KUBUNTU login [22:59] which I like [22:59] you can find a screenshot online [22:59] tekteen: can I have the link? thanks [22:59] ok [23:00] can anyone help me? [23:00] !ask | ahmos [23:00] ahmos: 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. :-) [23:00] what is the command to launch Monitor & Display? [23:01] how can i know if swap partition is working ? [23:01] professional_min: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyGibbon/Tribe5/Kubuntu?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=smkdm.png [23:01] ahmos: run "free -m" and see how swap you have [23:02] why kubuntu doesnt let me go into Administrative mode in system Settings, in Monitor & Display? [23:02] tekteen: it looks beautiful... [23:02] I've just installed it [23:02] professional_min: that will appear on boot [23:03] tekteen: and after which it will go then to desktop. Right? Just like that in xp [23:03] yep [23:03] nosredna_ekim: ace! it worked, i USB booted Kubuntu!! [23:03] now3d: sweet [23:03] tekteen: but again that's for ubuntu server installed with GUI to have a look like a desktop. Right? [23:03] yes it is working ,the used space is14 M.B..thank u [23:04] professional_min: yep [23:04] nosredna_ekim: i dunno why the installer didnt figure out that it needed to be hd(0,1) tho... also my "Japanese" install looks rather english to me.. [23:04] why kubuntu doesnt let me go into Administrative mode in system Settings, in Monitor & Display? [23:04] but why my 1.0G.B ram is full? [23:04] professional_min: linux does not know the diff between desktop and server. It is just what programs are installed [23:04] ahmos: look at the line that says "=/- buffers and chace [23:04] *+/- [23:05] Vermux, in the terminal: sudo dpkg --configure -a , then relogfin [23:05] professional_min: install the server part (it is hard to config. without there install tool) and then install the desktop ontop [23:05] relogin [23:05] 393 used 610 free [23:06] BluesKaj: log out and log in from the kde? [23:06] yeah [23:06] tekteen: after successful installation of ubuntu server...with LAMP of course...and tried to enter our static IP address what appears is the configuration page of the ADSL modem. what do you think? [23:07] BluesKaj: it happaned also last time after I installed kubuntu [23:07] any idea how to enable Japanese input..? Normally it is Shift+Space, but that does not work.. [23:07] professional_min: I do not understand, Is this after the install? [23:08] BluesKaj: it doesnt work [23:08] man, flahs is busted [23:08] flash [23:08] BluesKaj: maybe reboot? [23:08] tekteen: yeah after the install.

[23:08] Vermux, maybe [23:08] professional_min: so you want to create a staticip? [23:09] all those problems crashed firefox..not froze my computer [23:09] why kubuntu doesnt let me go into Administrative mode in system Settings, in Monitor & Display? It is not the first time it happans after a fresh install [23:09] Vermux, do you see the update manger in the panel ?...you may need to update some apps first [23:09] thecrono: why were you running it as superuser? [23:09] tekteen: I have static IP actually assigned by our ISP. but when I typed it in the browser..what will appear is the configuration page ADSL modem [23:09] vermuxes updated failed [23:09] adept update manager [23:10] of course it wouldn' [23:10] what Diasuke_Ido?

[23:10] something about the commit [23:10] i didn't stutter: why did you install it as superuser. it doesn't go in /usr/anything [23:11] professional_min: although I can still help [23:11] if tis global it does [23:11] professional_min: what are the choices? [23:11] tekteen: how to help this ? [23:11] Professional_min: if you're connected to a router, use dhcp, the router will give you the right external ip [23:11] BluesKaj: so I did sudo apt-get-f install [23:11] aha Vermux ,, that explains the lack of admin options... you still have broken pkgs [23:11] /home/thecrono/.mozilla didn't work either btw [23:11] g2g591: his is setting up a cable modem [23:12] you mean...webserver won't work with ADSL modem and switch alone? [23:12] Vermux, can you install synaptic? [23:12] perhaps /home/sierra-x/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [23:12] instead of just .mozilla [23:12] BluesKaj: ok, now it asked me for the password, but still didnt give me the Administrative mode [23:12] professional_min: the cable modem does not know how to reach the internet [23:12] i don't have sierra-x/ [23:12] BluesKaj: what is it? [23:12] duh [23:12] that's my username :) [23:12] i have /usr/lib/mozilla [23:12] professional_min: that is the box the server plugs into [23:13] tekteen: any solution that you could offer? [23:13] i tried that awell, the plugin is installed fine..but its broken..is the ENTIER flash player jsut a .so file? [23:13] Thanks alot guys, You've been alot of help! [23:13] yes [23:13] and it isn't broken [23:13] professional_min: also you know you are not allowed to run a webserver on dsl without a business plan [23:13] about:plugin says shockwave flash player is installed [23:14] professional_min: I think [23:14] professional_min: you need to talk to Verison [23:14] BluesKaj: I tried to run Adept_manager and it gave me the error: DCOP Communications error- there was an error setting up inter-process communications for kde [23:14] oh man [23:14] either that or your computer just hates flash, which is a possibility, i suppose :\ [23:14] firefox is using libgnash [23:14] ah... [23:14] tekteen: I contacted our ISP already.. I do have static IP. it's business plan [23:14] how do i make ti use the other .so? [23:14] professional_min: ok [23:14] nm [23:14] lemme look real quick [23:15] professional_min: so what is the static IP? [23:15] Vermux, synaptic is a pkg manager like adept or apt , but it has the option to fix broken pkgs that are installed by either adept or apt. [23:15] Shockwave Flash 8.0 r99.

[23:15] BluesKaj: how do I manually install it? [23:16] professional_min: call up support? [23:16] Vermux, try: sudo apt-get install synaptic [23:16] could try removing gnash [23:16] I'm from philippines..

[23:32] mozilla will not use libflashplayer.so [23:32] :( [23:32] or flashplugin what ever it was [23:33] !flash | thecrono [23:33] thecrono: 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 [23:33] 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. [23:33] .. [23:33] none of that works [23:33] i had to install from adobe.com [23:33] and even that didn't work [23:33] so i had to manuallyplace the .so file [23:33] but firefox won't use it' [23:35] oh this isn'tgood, i did kdesu dolphin..and it says /home/is completely empty :O [23:36] thecrono: /home/thechrono?
