To be honest, I'm not really sure where to start in asking the question. This is my first serious linux install (that I am determined to keep). [01:53] I noticed that on startup kubuntu says it's loading drivers, but according to HP and Nvidia, HP has a custom driver for my chipset, due to it being on a laptop, which they have not bothered updating in awhile.

[02:03] PhilGold: if you are back at the rescue prompt, run "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [02:03] gigabyte unsupported? [02:03] give me a sec to get there. [02:03] Ice-DraVen: dunno [02:03] nosredna_ekim: Think it works, thanks [02:04] It's got to run the forced check to get there. [02:04] good nite everyone [02:04] PhilGold: right... [02:04] nite flip, thanks for help. [02:04] I still can't get X working [02:04] Any more ideas on the msn issue i have gaim but getting write & read errors [02:04] what happened to this channel? [02:05] Hmm.... So I just installed KDE 4.0, but it doesn't list any applications under the main menu, only thing listed under applications is for settings [02:05] CrazyWulf: #kubuntu-kde4 [02:07] hi all. anyone know what port Subversion (SVN) uses to download? [02:07] i have an iptables script that i must disable any time i want to check out with SVN [02:09] user__: no idea. [02:10] Ice-DraVen: nope.... [02:10] nosredna_ekim: me neither... one site says port 80, which i obviously have whitelisted, but it mentions Port 81 as well. I'll try that. BTW, what's up with the underscore? [02:11] user__: I got disconnected... so this is my backup nick when the other is taken (by the other me) and yeah.. i'm too lazy to gost [02:12] nosred, i ran it....have warning about being carefull changing this file, and various options [02:12] PhilGold: ok... scroll down do the "section Device" [02:12] there should be a sub-option "Driver" [02:12] mike: i c... i have changed my iptables config, going to restart x [02:13] section 'InputDevice'? [02:14] section device [02:14] PhilGold: farther down... [02:14] identifier generic video card, driver vesa [02:15] meh.... thought that might be the problem.... [02:15] :( [02:15] oddly enough, me too [02:16] PhilGold: ok... lets try installing the official nvidia drivers. [02:16] exit that file(ctrl+x) [02:16] but hey, at least i'm not at a blank black screen anymore. [02:17] :) [02:17] PhilGold: ok, first of all is this laptop attached to a wired network? [02:18] save modified buffer? [02:18] yes, it is a wired network, which due to furniture arrangement is causing no shortage of discomfort to me. [02:19] (Updates are very long =/) [02:19] i installed all alsa packages from source, now im trying to install kdm from Adept, but Adept says that it also needs to install alsa-utils 1.0.13, but this version of alsa-utils is old and a newer version is already installed. What should I do? [02:19] wasnt paying attention did anyone answer my question about changing text color of a minimized to kicker window? [02:20] PhilGold: ok.... run "sudo dhclient eth0" then to get a net connection.. [02:21] k [02:21] no errors [02:21] anybody have any idea as to how i can solve my problem? [02:22] nano, I'm more lost than you. [02:23] Nosred, I believe I have a connection. [02:23] PhilGold: are you confused by my question, or are you confused by ubuntu in general? [02:23] Both. [02:23] :) [02:28] this place is dead [02:30] PhilGold: ok [02:30] PhilGold: run "sudo apt-get update" [02:31] PhilGold: sorry for taking so long..... real-life(tm) ? [02:31] is there anyway to re-execute the hardware detection that is made during install? [02:31] *.... [02:31] fr0w: not that I know of.. [02:31] let's say i have 2 different computers [02:31] i have installed everything i needed in one of them [02:31] and i don't want to re-do everything in the other computer [02:32] so i'd just clone the first hd [02:32] and boot it in the second computer but it does not work [02:32] due to some problems in hardware detection i guess [02:33] fr0w: boot failsafe mode? [02:33] but then i'd have to boot in failsafe mode everytime? [02:33] fr0w: not neccesarily... [02:33] hey all... has anyone been able to use smb4k to connect to a vista box? [02:33] i can connect to xp boxes fine.. but it keeps asking for authentication on the vista ne. i have disabled the firewall and used everyone as the group that has read/write access [02:34] im-a-n00b vista has a new protocol for a auth called NTLMv2 [02:34] and seems like samba does not support this properly i guess [02:35] nosredna_ekim how come then? if i boot the failsafe mode what do i have to do to make the system "stable" again? [02:35] fr0w: 0_o... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! damn microsoft screwing stuff up again [02:35] reading package lists...Done [02:35] fr0w: lol, thanks.. been trying for a while wondering why i cant connect to it [02:36] PhilGold: great... [02:36] PhilGold: now run "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new" [02:36] im-a-n00b i've experienced some problems with vista and samba but samba being a domain controler [02:36] i wasn't able to test the shares [02:36] but i guess they have pretty much the same problem [02:36] fr0w: do you have any idea what hardware exactly it is not detecting? [02:37] fr0w: video card? [02:37] fr0w: bummer.. i have 3 ubuntu file servers at work and we may be upgrading the clients to vista at some point [02:37] im-a-n00b: use ultimate... so you can get NFS ;) [02:37] i installed the latest alsa from source and everything works great, but now im trying to install kdm but adept says that i have a missing dependency of some old alsa-utils pacakge (the newer version i have already installed). [02:37] nosredna_ekim i'd bet the video card since it cannot display the gdm [02:37] If anybody could share some insight i would really appreciate it [02:38] nosredna_ekim: ultimate supports nfs??? [02:38] nano__: run, from the command line "apt-get install -f kdm" [02:38] what will that do? [02:38] fr0w: try putting the HD back in the old computer and changing the video driver to vesa [02:38] so it will install kdm and now worry about dealing with dependencies? [02:38] nano__: force it to install... ignoreing dependencies [02:38] sweet [02:38] (it should) [02:38] Nosred, I have apparently locked up while typing out the command [02:39] nano__: oh.. and run it as sudo [02:39] nosredna_ekim that is good to know, how come i can't accomplish that with adept [02:39] there is no such option or what? [02:39] PhilGold: before or after hitting enter [02:39] nano__: too advanced of an option [02:39] nano__: and not a good one to use all the time [02:39] nosredna_ekim that would be the generic vga driver [02:39] nano__: but in this case its safe [02:39] right? [02:40] fr0w: right. [02:40] nosredna_ekim: thnk man [02:40] you have made my night [02:40] al'right ima give it a shot [02:40] thnx and goodbye [02:41] should i do a manual reboot, or is there something else i can do? [02:42] PhilGold: try "ctrl+c" [02:42] im-a-n00b, maybe this will help : http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS4434907782.html [02:42] BluesKaj: yay... getting a bit swamped here [02:42] hello room [02:42] BluesKaj: ok thanks :) [02:43] i am having a problem with my 26in screen not fitting correctly on my screen [02:43] i said that wrong [02:43] lol [02:43] hi nosredna_ekim .., I'll be here for a little while :) [02:43] my desktop is not fitting on my screen i have a 26in [02:45] PhilGold: anything? [02:45] Nosred, while still typing in...I actually typoed and tried to backspace to correct [02:45] westy_, describe , "not fitting" [02:46] BluesKaj: i cant believe that, they default to using a security protocol that no one has used in years.. and has the potential to make all existing network storage devices redundant [02:46] i have to hold the laptop sideways so the ethernet and power cords both reach their respective plugs. [02:46] my screen size is suppose to be 1177x667 but it wont change to that its at 1280x1020 [02:47] hi BluesKaj [02:47] im-a-n00b, that's the same ol' M$ doing their thing to force everyone to run their software :( [02:48] hi soulrider [02:48] BluesKaj: lol true [02:48] PhilGold: and? [02:49] its still locked up? [02:49] i dont know if nvidia allows a appp to rescale my hd screen like win. does [02:49] im-a-n00b, I'm not real knowledgeable about networking to vista [02:49] i installed gentoo but we wont go there it workd but wont work on my setup [02:50] westy_, what drivers are you using on your graphics card and monitor ? [02:50] I'm still just sitting at that screen. [02:50] I have one harddisk with 33 bad blocks (this number does not seem to increase with time, scanned several times). If there are/will be no more bad sectors , will the install program automatically format the swap and ext3 partitions so that these sectors are avoided? [02:50] would you like me to do a manual reboot? [02:51] PhilGold: yeah <_< [02:52] Svoda: it should [02:52] BluesKaj: i much prefer xp to vista... and linux to xp.. only reason vista is on both of those laptops im building is because they came with vista, the rebuild cd is vista, and they play games that require direct x (only reason i still have an xp partition... which hasn't been booted in months (hope it doesnt rust in that section of the disk lol)) [02:52] PhilGold: and run that command when you reboot [02:52] BluesKaj: going to try what the article says now.. ill let u know how it goes :) [02:53] im-a-n00b, good luck :) [02:54] BluesKaj: im using my graphic driver supported by ubuntu the nvidia gforce 7 series and my screen is using idk because its a tv screen [02:55] westy_, are you using the default nvidia restricted driver ? [02:55] no === jwosnick is now known as Newboid === Newboid is now known as JHW [02:56] westy_, in some cases the restricted driver is better than the nvidia proprietary recommended one [02:56] PhilGold: when you get back up run "sudo dhclient eth0" and then "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new" [02:56] does anyone know how to switch the caps-lock with the ctrl key? [02:56] i've tried both [02:56] using fancy linux trickery === JHW is now known as Newboid [02:56] not the physical act of rewiring the keyboard [02:57] sorry crashed. [02:57] BluesKaj: ok sofar no good... but i figure it may need a reboot.. and even if that doesnt end up fixing it, it is a very good point to know when i have to deal with people having issues dealing with ntlm and ntlmv2 [02:57] PhilGold: when you get back up run "sudo dhclient eth0" and then "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new" [02:57] Nosred, I'm sitting frozen, before entering the last command. [02:57] k, I'll do a manual reboot [02:57] yeah.. [02:57] is this the SECOND time it crashed? [02:57] or did you never do a reboot.. [02:57] Hi all, running a fresh install of Kubuntu 7.10 with KDE 4... apps requiring an "su" won't accept my password. Anyone know what to do? [02:58] brb gota restart x [02:58] Newboid: yeah... run them from the comand line with "kdesudo appname" [02:58] Newboid: its a known issue that is going to be fixed [02:59] eae [03:00] Nosredna_ekim, thanks very much... just trying to get in to add another account for my wife. [03:01] Nosredna_ekim -- I had to apt-get to install kdesudo. When I "kdesudo kuser-kde4" I get a bunch of error messages -- "authentication rejected" etc. [03:01] Newboid: oh.. are you on gutsy? [03:01] Doctor_Nick, system settings/regional&language/keyboard layout/Xkb options [03:01] could not find package [03:01] coo [03:01] said E: could not find package. [03:01] PhilGold: oh.... great...... [03:01] hello ... is there a way to remove compiz from command line? coz i chose compiz 3D settings and now my screen is black and i can only see my mouse ..anyone? thx .. plz HELP [03:01] PhilGold: more config file editing... [03:01] you sound thrilled [03:01] i think slackware users are about to hack me. help me please [03:02] sweet [03:02] thanks [03:02] nosredna_ekim -- yes, I'm using the download of Kubuntu 7.10 ISO file with KDE4 set up already... like the look and feel better than regular Ubuntu 7.10 that I used in the past (I think) but things like this are driving me crazy? [03:02] So I'm not a total Ubuntu newbie but things like this are beyond me. [03:03] k, just let me know [03:04] rhino7: you can troll better than that [03:05] smith__> no seriously i think those guys are the real hackers [03:05] Newboid: oh... ok, well the first thing I reccomend is installing all of kde3 with "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" it will give you some needed apps and such [03:05] PhilGold: ok, run "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" [03:07] heh, I just saw an article claiming that canonical(sp) just "killed" kde b/c kde4 will not make it into the next lts [03:07] * regeya already closed the window, it was a crap article [03:08] PhilGold: fid the line that says "deb gutsy main restricted" [03:08] there may be a # mark in front of it... [03:09] regeya, Hardy will not be receiving LTS due to KDE4 not being real ready for prime time [03:09] the file is blank [03:10] once kde4 is ready then the next RC will get LTS from reading between the lines IMO. [03:10] it pulled up, but there is nothing there. [03:10] I'm having trouble with my microphone [03:10] on windows it gets sound perfectly [03:11] but I almost have to scream into the mic on kubuntu for it to get sound [03:11] PhilGold: 0.o...... [03:11] Willabee, do you have you mic ctrl unmuted in alsamixer ? [03:11] nothing muted [03:12] PhilGold: you sure its blank? if so.... you have a seriously messed up installation.. [03:12] turned up to 71%? [03:13] PhilGold: double check that you type the right command... [03:16] BluesKaj: so far hasnt worked :( im still googling for the answer [03:17] turned mic up to max and still the same [03:18] im-a-n00b, i'm not surprised :( [03:18] Willabee, have you checked kmix switches tab [03:19] if it matters [03:20] I'm doing rosetta stone through Shockwave on firefox through WINE [03:20] Willabee, I have no idea what you just said ...a game ? [03:21] Rosetta Stone is a language thing [03:21] and part of it is comparing voice [03:21] since there isn't shockwave support on linux, I run it through WINE [03:23] PhilGold: hey... sorry, I have to go.... I think your install is totally messed up though... [03:23] well, this old guy is getting tired .. off to bed , nite all [03:23] night :) [03:24] I just turned mic boost on and it works now === olivier_ is now known as reivilo78 [03:25] does anyone know if i make a pdf in openoffice if i can make functional links [03:25] snarkster: probably [03:25] ok thank you === bmk789 is now known as bmk789_sleep [03:31] BluesKaj: fixed.... damn windows redundant security that only works when u dont want it to [03:31] im-a-n00b: lol [03:33] ok.. so besides having to turn the firewall off (as it sometimes works and sometimes doesnt... and sometimes works so well that nothing works), and sharing a folder, and giving everyone access to write to it, you then have to go into the control panel, and then network and sharing center, to change a totally redundant option of password protection sharing to off (its on by default) [03:34] now.. why would u need to have it still password protected if your going to give every bob and his dog (everyone) read and write access anyway [03:34] *end rant [03:39] okay [03:39] that sucks [03:39] its me westy [03:40] how do you go about reconfiguring xserver while its crashed and wont boot [03:40] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:40] i think [03:41] i installed the wrong driver for my card and thats what did tit [03:41] well i went from propritary to standard [03:41] lol [03:41] Yeah that's the command [03:41] ok [03:41] ill try that === _czessi is now known as Czessi [03:42] just make sure you select the right driver when it asks you what driver you want. [03:42] i did [03:42] but im having a problem with my desktop and fitting on my screen [03:42] well [03:43] it fits just to the left to far and up to down to far [03:44] i need to install 64bit kubunutu without a CD [03:44] and the livecd image doesn't work [03:44] brb [03:45] !install | thechris, see these links [03:45] thechris, see these links: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[03:49] desktop [03:49] though i don't see how that really matters. [03:50] try with the alternate image, it's less complex (so less can go wrong) [03:50] does the alternate has a different kernel? [03:50] if not i can't see it helping. [03:50] it loads it differently [03:50] the desktop system actually "boots" twice [03:51] once to load the image on the CD and once to actually boot the compressed image [03:51] yeah, i don't get past the first "boot" [03:52] what is the difference between linux kernal and actual linux distros?

[04:01] hello [04:02] I want to install mplayer, should I download mplayer or kmplayer [04:03] apparle: kmplayer is not mplayer [04:04] ten what is kmplayer [04:04] it's another alternative [04:04] it can use mplayer as it's backend [04:05] my kaffiene and amarok play some wav files and .mov files in steps. what should I do [04:05] if you want a good GUI to mplayer, try smplayer [04:05] smplayer is amazing :) [04:06] anyone know what ramdisk_size should be for a 64b install? [04:06] i'm wondering if my install image needs a different sized ramdisk_size [04:07] should be the same on 32bit as 64bit [04:08] what is the units? bytes === mi is now known as todobg [04:09] I think so yes [04:09] stdin: I want a good player with small number of dependencies [04:10] thechris: I don't think install uses a ramdisk. Do you mean swap space? [04:10] apparle: all smplayer needs is mplayer and Qt4, you should already have Qt4 installed [04:10] jhutchins: the install docs for "install from linux" give a ramdisk_size kernal argument [04:10] thechris: Oh, kubuntu, you're installing from the live CD running in ramdisk. [04:11] thechris: In any case, 64 vs 32 shouldn't matter. [04:11] where and how does your install fail? [04:14] stdin: I will give it a try. Can I change the icon of Kmenu [04:14] hello when I try to install from in windows it shows the launching brouser then disappears when I try to boot it from a reboot I click on install and it shows an error with reading it [04:15] apparle: you can, but it requires renaming the old icon and putting a new one in with the same name as the old one [04:17] anyone know why it would have problems when I try to install kubuntu?

[04:33] stdin: I will give smplayer atry [04:34] apparle: it looks like some files are *.ram and some are *.rm... maybe they're mis-named, extension wise [04:35] jimmy51: It is funny but I don't think you can get the codecs of real media for xine engine. Do you have the real player installed? [04:36] apparle: i sure don't. i've never much cared for it, even under windows. i was hoping amarok could handle them but i suppose they're closed source formats [04:37] does anyone know what making /dev/virtualbox writable means? [04:37] Im usiing virtualbox 1.5.2 [04:38] ok, how about a good place to run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" on boot? [04:38] jimmy51: they are closed source but there is a way to get them work [04:38] what is an alternate partition manager than gparted?

[04:41] apparle: working on it [04:42] how do i make /dev/vboxdrv writeable [04:42] oh i need to log out [04:43] apparle: ok, i've downloaded a *.bin file and can't figure out what to do with it [04:43] :( [04:45] !real [04:45] how do I get help from ubotu [04:45] jimmy51: run it in terminal [04:45] ubotu [04:45] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [04:45] can someone help me create new unpartioned space with fdisk step by step please? [04:45] jimmy51, chmod +x FILE.bin && ./FILE.bin where FILE = the filename [04:46] has anyone had any luck with the wusb54g networkcard in kubuntu [04:47] jimmy51: got it or should I explain in more detail [04:48] i need some hwlp with wireless internet [04:48] NickPresta, apparle: I think I've about got it installed. It wanted to isntall to Desktop, which wasn't cool. I'm trying to find a good place for it [04:48] jimmy51, what are you trying to install? [04:49] NickPresta: RealPlayer [04:50] jimmy51: Don't worry, we are going to remove real player. Just install it temporarily any where [04:51] apparle: ok, i think it's installed [04:51] I have the packages for fiesty. Will they work for gytsu [04:51] I have the packages for fiesty. Will they work for gutsy [04:51] apparle: i don't see it in the K menu, but there's a RealPlayer folder with stuff under it [04:52] jimmy51: Now go to the directory. Do you see a directory named codec [04:52] apparle: yup [04:52] can anyone help me [04:52] superkaramba is installed but it wont let me configure any of the themes [04:52] apparle: there are several *.so files under "codecs" === xevious- is now known as xevious [04:53] jimmy51: Copy the 'codecs' directory ro any suitable place [04:53] jimmy51: Copy the 'codecs' directory to any suitable place [04:54] apparle: like this? sudo cp ./codecs /home/aslanteigne/desktop/codecs [04:55] jimmy51: I am not good at commands. Right click on the folder >"copy" and then paste it any where you want [04:55] apparle: nevermind, i just used dolphin to copy them [04:55] jimmy51: now start kaffiene [04:55] apparle: started [04:56] go to tools menu> xine engine parameters [04:57] wait a minute. First of all run the real player from where ever you have installed and check if you can play the file in it [04:59] apparle: SWEET! playing in kaffeine! thanks for the help! [05:00] jimmy51: How come We have not done anything [05:00] jimmy51: check in amarok [05:01] apparle: sorry, i clicked ahead and found a place to enter the path to the codecs. i placed them in usr/lib/realcodecs, then typed that path in kaffiene's decoder settings [05:02] jimmy51: that was what I was about to tell. Smart 8-) Now you may remove real player [05:03] apparle: ok, thanks. is there a clean way to remove... or just rm RealPlayer folder? [05:03] jimmy51: that is the cleanest way [05:04] apparle: ok. man, still not playing in amarok though. [05:04] apparle: at least not via URL [05:04] jimmy51: It is playing if you enter the file directly?? [05:05] apparle: nope, not local either [05:05] jimmy51: check in kaffiene [05:05] apparle: so far just kaffeine likes the files. [05:06] jimmy51: kaffiene is playing but not amarok. that is really funny [05:06] jimmy51: both use the same engine [05:07] apparle: yeah, it seems weird. i'm noticing the *.RAM downloads are instant, so i think it just points to content online or something [05:08] jimmy51: I don't think so because the ram files are too small (compressed) [05:09] jimmy51:see if amarok can play any other real audio file like .ra or .ra [05:10] jimmy51: .rm [05:11] jimmy51: I just want to see if the codecs work for amarok or not [05:11] apparle: "There is no available decoder." that's ok, i'll just use kaffiene for now. i'll look into it further when it's not 6 hours until i clock in with no sleep yet :) [05:12] jimmy51: ok [05:12] apparle: thanks for the help in getting it to play. i liked a band back in high school and found one of the members hosts their music on a website and wanted to hear it since the CD's are out of print [05:13] apparle: a little nostalgia, now possible due to your help. good night (or day or morning, depending on where you may be)!

[06:31] navetz, sadly, I don't think there is anything that resembles Flash MX or anything simlar in GNU+Linux [06:31] NickPresta: well this kinda really sucks [06:31] hi [06:31] hi alev2477 [06:32] NickPresta: you wouldn't know how much memory is required to run flash in windows by any chance would you? [06:32] navetz, you can run Flash MX in Wine, I suppose. It has a gold rating, meaning it works > 90% [06:32] hello! [06:32] NickPresta: oh that sounds great actually [06:32] NickPresta: thanks [06:32] navetz, http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1027 [06:33] i am having a problem with grub. its misconfigured, but when i try to configure it correctly, it doesnt seem to save the settings i have specified, or perhaps i am setting them wrong [06:33] in short, when grub loads, i have to edit the 'root' entry to specify the correct partition manually, and then it will boot [06:34] tyson_, edit your menu.lst. /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:36] you da man [06:38] is there a package for 64 bit flash yet? [06:39] nChrist KDE4 is weird [06:39] Zombocom, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash#head-38245bd46a3334b4cc11601e161ddaa63439d2db [06:39] Zombocom, 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. [06:39] I know I know [06:39] :) [06:40] nick that's been broken for a while [06:40] Zombocom, indeed. [06:41] flash is a pretty big deal [06:41] for some people, yeah. [06:42] if someone isn't a network administrator [06:42] they probably need flash [06:43] more like want. [06:43] Zombocom, I understand the frustration with the broken flash. There is an immediate fix, but it's best to wait for the official fix. [06:43] not that often a _need_. [06:45] I thought Gnome was annoying, KDe is crap x.x [06:45] wtf slyboots [06:46] go back to your lulz [06:46] I just installed it, its terrible x.x [06:46] troll [06:46] Im not, Im just trying out KDE4 :( [06:46] slyboots, you're trying out KDE 4.0 [06:46] kde4 is in beta [06:46] glitchy as hell [06:46] It shows, I´ve... Torn the wallpaper on the desktop [06:47] slyboots, http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3174 [06:47] lol [06:47] my webcam has stopped working, my keyboard keys dont work right x.x [06:47] I lost my task bar in KDE 4. I have no idea how to get it back up [06:47] hah [06:47] Zombocom: Released already, but yes, in Kubuntu beta (or is Hardy actually still in alpha?) [06:47] If you have a serious problem with KDE 4.0 that needs attending to, join #kubuntu-kde4 [06:48] I have, everyone is dead x.x [06:48] lol [06:48] No doubt killed by KDE-4 :P [06:48] lol [06:48] sly [06:48] funny :) [06:48] Seriously though, how the hell do I.. reattach my desktop? [06:48] you're going to get me in trouble [06:48] duct tape [06:48] fixes everything [06:48] how did you tear the wallpaper? [06:48] There is a huge white border on the bottom left and right of the desktop [06:49] hahah [06:49] Í have no idea, I was moving icons around and it just.. shifted [06:49] Now I cant figure out how I did it [06:49] did you try doing a barrel roll? [06:49] wait [06:49] that just avoids damage [06:49] !ot [06:49] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [06:49] you've already taken it [06:49] eh, i lost my taskbar somehow when I changed my theme settings. [06:50] I tried KDE3 but I was having a host of issues, for some weird reason the volume control on my laptop does not work :( [06:50] !doesn't work [06:50] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [06:50] Anyway, Im going to rollback, I thought KDE4 was stable, I guess not [06:51] NickPresta, Sorry. [06:51] slyboots it is because of furries [06:51] but anywho [06:51] rahmat➜ right click on kicker, add applet, taskbar [06:51] when is this fix going to come out [06:51] There are fixes for almost every problem you can think of, especially something as common and needed as volume control :) [06:51] On my Thinkpad R61, pressing the volume control buttons brings up the OSD but it only moves between 0% and 11% and has no bering on the actual PCM volume [06:51] Zombocom, when it's ready. [06:52] Sound itself, if I use the .. kvol? application works fine, [06:52] OH GOD HOW DID THIS GET HERE [06:52] I AM NOT GOOD WITH COMPUTER [06:52] !tell Zombocom about caps [06:53] slyboots, I actually just fixed this yesterday on my desktop. Try this first: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3444817&postcount=4 [06:53] k [06:58] i use xfce i changed my resolution now my pc gets stuck how do i restoore it [06:58] Hi, i am trying to install a new graphics card, so after rebooting it, do I have to do the whole X configuration bit? [06:58] something along the lines of `dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh`? [06:59] i mean -phi? [07:00] anakin_, if your new card is going into exactly the same slot and uses exactly the same driver and such, you might be able to get away with doing nothing. You will probably have a broken X configuration after you install it, meaning a `sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg` will probably be needed [07:01] oh, well, i am changing from the wretched on board card to an nvidia geforce8 card. let me reboot and see what happens. see you in a bit. thanks. [07:02] Hi, there was no driver for my printer (Lexmark 2500) in the default database and http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-2500 s download links are dead, where should I look next? thanx [07:03] rc-1: download works fine here [07:03] rc-1: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=pbm2l2030&fromprinter=Lexmark-2500 [07:04] I just booted my computer after resizing some partitions and tried to log in to kdm. When my main account logs in with any window manager (kde or gnome), the screen goes black for a second and then goes back to the login screen. startx shows a black screen and then terminates. Other accounts can log in fine. What can cause this? [07:04] Okay, the OSD does not come up, but Vol up and down now works and mute is broken lol [07:05] An error occurred while loading http://home.t-online.de/home/paetzold-net/page_004.html: [07:05] alexbobp: sounds like you applied a bad theme or something [07:06] rc-1: still having trouble getting that driver? pm me your email and Ill email ti to you [07:06] slyboots, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdeutils/+bug/118723 Near the bottom, there is a link to a kmilo deb with the patch applied. The comment is #27 and this is the link (http://kenny-x.student.utwente.nl/stuff/kmilo_3.5.6-0ubuntu2_i386.deb) [07:07] slyboots, install that via `sudo dpkg -i kmilo_3.5.6-0ubuntu2_i386.deb` [07:07] jussi01: Gnome won't work either, and I haven't applied any themes anyway [07:07] NickPresta, Thank you :) [07:07] You dont know how I can change my keyboard layout as well? Seems to be stuck under international so a lot of symbol keys dont work [07:08] And I cant find the option under Keyboard Settings [07:08] slyboots, Region and Language > Keyboard Layout [07:09] Ack, I was looking in the wrong area :) [07:09] Fantastic!

[07:33] Sweet GOD! [07:33] You can *remove* the border! [07:33] * slyboots bows before the greatness of KDE! and *weeps* [07:33] Jesus, its been *months* I've been to get that feature on a media player [07:34] http://www.lexmark.com/lexmark/sequentialem/home/0,6959,204816596_666676871_0_en,00.html doesnt even LIST linux at all lol [07:34] rc-1, only savages and dirty commies use Linux [07:34] slyboots: what feature? [07:35] fignew, the ability to have a borderless window, so now I have a free-floating mplayer video window :) [07:35] lol [07:36] its a great feature, I could not figure out how to get it in gnome at all :P [07:36] Though goin got have to get shot of konqurer in favor of firefox ;) [07:37] Hello, i've installed a new graphics card, everything seems to be okay with the restricted drivers except that the resolution is much lower than it used to be on a crummy VIA on board card. [07:38] so how do i get better screen resolutions? [07:38] anakin_, so you have your restricted nvidia driver? [07:39] yep, for an nvidia geforce8 card [07:39] anakin_, see if you can adjust your resolution via `nvidia-settings` [07:40] anakin_: you can always put it first in the lists of resolutions in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (back it up tho!) [07:40] Oh, Is there a way I can enable true transparency in kterm? intead of that rubishy psudo-trans [07:41] probly need compositing [07:41] NickPresta: thanks, nvidia-settings has a tab for monitor/crt configuration [07:41] anakin_, it should work :) [07:41] rc-1, Hm, I know I cant do that in Compiz, because my graphical chipset is blacklisted x.x [07:41] slyboots, you can enable transparency in KDE itself :) [07:42] How do I enable that? [07:43] System Setting > Window Behavior > Translucency [07:45] slyboots, if you want it for just the terminal or other applications, go to the Window-Specific Settings and create a new rule for the application. Opacity is in the Preferences tab [07:45] ...Does not seem to be working at all, no matter what percentage I select it never becomes transparent [07:45] slyboots, you have checked off "Use Translucency/Shadows" and have set a percent to less than 100%? You have Applied the settings? [07:46] !mysql [07:46] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [07:46] Yup, everything is setup okay, its just not applying the effect [07:47] Compiz does not work on this chipset, if that might be a factor? (It has weird issues with XV rendering) [07:47] slyboots, hmm. I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you need to load up a fresh session of KDE? I don't remember... [07:48] Worth a shot [07:48] how long can you do a boring task that is wasting time etc? [07:49] sudoubungu, not long. I usually write a shell script to do it for me if it is that boring ;) [07:49] what if that task meant life or death? [07:50] sudoubungu, then I would get off IRC and focus on the task at hand :) [07:50] NickPresta> what if you had to do it for years? [07:51] NickPresta> what if people stole your stuff while you were doing that task? [07:51] !tell sudoubungu about ot [07:52] NickPresta> huh? [07:53] gparted trying to size from 230 gig to 215 and 46 GB used. how long? i waited 37 days [07:53] That seems to have enabled it ;) [07:53] sudoubungu, if you have waited that long to resize your partition, that would indicate a problem. [07:53] slyboots, so it works? [07:54] NickPresta> :( [07:54] Aye, Had to fiddle with the defaults but restarting got it going :) [07:54] slyboots, that's good [07:55] well, I'm off to bed. Goodnight #kubuntu [07:55] Goodnight :) [07:55] Thanks again for your help [07:56] can somebody tell me what is better ubuntu or kubuntu? [07:56] serrucho, Matter of personal taste [07:56] night NickPresta [07:56] Its not a case of one been better than the other, fundamentally they are the same thing [07:56] that`s right [07:57] If you have the hard-disk space, why not try both? [07:57] Just install ubuntu-desktop, and kubuntu-desktop [07:57] I already have it like that [07:58] a got the two versions [07:58] Oh, well whatever one you like better, Thats the best. [07:58] does java/jre work in konqueror? :s [07:59] * jussi01 endorses slyboots opinion there :) [07:59] ... Hmm.. [07:59] Video playback has stopped working [07:59] sveakex: I think so. do you have a problem? [07:59] Correction, Video output from video playback has stopped working x.x [08:00] sveakex: flash in konqueror is broken atm though. [08:00] jussi01: yeah but i am not running kubuntu, i wanted to see if it supposed to be like this or not as everybody seems unsecure if it works or not [08:00] supposed to work* [08:00] jussi01: it is? I have not noticed that... [08:00] jussi01: only if one installs from the packages, I guess... [08:01] Feck, FECK [08:01] Lynoure: I thought there was some issue with khtml and the _newest_ flash [08:01] as I thought, Enabling transparency has broken XV rendering [08:01] . you peice of crap Intel.. POS! [08:01] I hate you! I *hateee* youuuu [08:01] jussi01: might be that I have slightly older flash, gotta check [08:01] jussi01: you can have flash in kubuntu if you embed kmplayer in konqueror [08:02] * slyboots falls to his knees!

[11:07] maybe try reinstalling (it's proprietary software anyway) or restarting your X [11:07] akrus: the only modes are auto, 648x480 and 320x200 [11:09] i'll reconfigure it fom tty1. brb [11:11] :) looks like i made a backup of xorg.conf [11:14] cya [11:21] apparle: well replacing kmenu.png would destroy the original file [11:21] i can't get the audio to work, i have the snd_hda_intel modules loaded, and alsamixer is unmuted, everytime i try to play something in mplayer it says could not open/initialize sound device...

[11:48] grish, sudo cp sources.list sources.list_old [11:48] heh .. i dont play with them .. i couldnt find them before :) [11:48] grish, then if it goes wrong you can cp it back [11:49] now thats a nifty command :) .. does it work with netconfigs ?

You ar3e saying its Loseing a few min every so often? [11:52] !compiz [11:52] 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 [11:52] Dr_willis, the minutes are fine, the hour digit changes abnormally (later than usual) [11:52] LetsGo67: the commandline command for setting the time is date, I always forget the syntax, so see man date [11:52] !BERYL [11:52] Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [11:53] Lynourne, even then, my clock changes. [11:53] LetsGo67: More detail would be helpful... like when it changes and how [11:54] Lynoure: probably when my computer is off. [11:54] LetsGo67, how old is the system? [11:54] ActionParsnip: 5 days. [11:55] LetsGo67, the physical PC is 5 days old? [11:55] ActionParsnip: Windows Vista édition Familiale Basique, which I barely use. The PC was bought 5 days ago. [11:55] Has a (C)2007. [11:55] some days its like pulling teeth. :) heh heh... [11:55] LetsGo67, just checking as a low motherboard battery can cause that [11:55] SO if you set the proper date. then power down for an hr.. and power back up. what time does it say? [11:56] proper time i mean. [11:56] LetsGo67, is the time in the bios set correctly? [11:56] if you set the proper time and run for 2 hrs.. does the clock stay correct.. is also another good question. [11:56] I've heard cases where windows can change the system clock to local time on boot, and because linux expects it to be in UTC, that can cause problems [11:57] I can do the test on my own, but it affects both Xubuntu 7.10 and Windows Vista édition Familiale Basique. The hour digit is later than expected. The minutes, seconds and date are correct. [11:57] Both of them show a later time. [11:58] Anyone? [11:59] so its gaining an hr every hr? or an hr just at random> [11:59] please help, i added the kweather applet to my panel and now i cannot move or remove any applets from it [12:00] if its affecting both linux and windows.. thats weird. [12:00] i have no clue what that stupid kweather applet did to the panel [12:01] hmm. I dont even have kweather for my panel. [12:01] !find kweather [12:01] Found: kweather [12:01] Installing it now [12:01] its in the repo's. pretty popular i see [12:01] sigma_: I have never gotten that... What hinders the removals? No right point to click, no reaction, or what? [12:02] Its working fine here. [12:02] Lynoure: no right point to click anymore! [12:03] right clicking on the little 'handel' on the left side of the kweather applet dont work eh? [12:04] sigma_: I guess when in doubt, restarting panel does not hurt [12:04] Lynoure: how do i do that? [12:04] sigma_: dcop kicker kicker restart [12:04] Dr_willis: thats the problem, i dont have that handle anymore so i can't even move applets around [12:05] no handles on any of hte applets at all? [12:06] Dr_willis: nope none of them, the functionality just disappeared [12:06] how do i reset kicker to original settings? [12:07] sigma_: my handles only show up if I hover mouse at where they are. that is not the case in your case [12:07] Lynoure: it restarted but i still can't move anything around or remove anything, i tried hovering through the whole taskbar and there was not one handle [12:11] ok its back. i deleted the config file for kicker and it reset itself:) [12:13] can anyone tell me why Kopete has all of a sudden stopped working? [12:15] sigma_: then try removing kweather with purge option [12:25] can anyone still get on msn using kopete? [12:26] I keep getting an error message saying 'connection actively refused' :z [12:26] yes [12:26] i have a problem switching to tty, my screen looks like this: http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00008gh0.jpg [12:26] could anybody help me to solve this? [12:27] i tried using vga=791 but it just turn this screen totally black [12:28] You could try disabling the framebuffer. [12:29] use vga=normal, or the 'nofb' option -- details are here --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer [12:30] that image looks like the wrong refresh rates or other settings are being used on the lcd. [12:30] good luck. [12:31] apt-get install ZZZZZZzzzzz... [12:31] :) bye [12:33] :( [12:33] I can't get on msn anymore [12:38] bah, MSN hates me [12:39] I managed to get kopete to connect by telling it to use the http method, but it throws me back off after about 2 minutes [12:40] niall_: if you arent adverse to a different msn program, try kmess [12:41] I don't think Kopete is the issue [12:41] niall_: give it a go and see. ;) [12:41] I rebooted to windows earlier [12:41] and pidgin won't connect either === SaldainiS is now known as Maniak [12:42] but I can get on using the official msn client [12:42] aMSN also doesn't work [12:42] Perhaps they changed something server-side to block third party apps again? [12:42] i just get 'connection actively refused' the second I try to sign in [12:42] it's pretty much instantaneous [12:42] Who want? http://DIANA-MEINE-EX.gotdns.com/?id=5420a7e0 :) [12:44] :( [12:45] this totally sucks [12:46] while I can get on to see my contacts using the HTTP method, I can't actually send any messages to them [12:46] and if it try and connect normally it says 'connection actively refused' instantly [12:46] am I the only person getting this problem? [12:47] niall_: I have no problem connecting to msn with Pidgin [12:47] there's amsn as well [12:47] this sucks [12:47] scorpking: he noted before you joined that he tried amsn as well [12:48] no 3rd party client will let me connect to msn [12:48] firecrotch: oh ok. didn't know ;) [12:48] I only seem to be able to get on using Windows Live Messenger when I boot back into Vista [12:48] :< === romunov is now known as romunov_ === romunov_ is now known as romunov__ [12:50] maybe they banned me :( [12:50] niall_: I don't think so, if you can connect in Vista [12:50] they won't let me use 3rd party clients though [12:50] hi, can someone help me with cdrdao? I'm trying to get a toc file but it says "ERROR: Cannot setup device /dev/cdrw". Meanwhile k3b seems to work fine with the drive. I've tried entering the device into cdrdao (--device ATA:1000,0,0) but to no avail [12:50] I was signed into like 3 accounts at once [12:50] in windows? [12:50] who are you connected to the net niall_ ?

[12:52] Have you tried using Pidgin? [12:52] yes [12:52] maltron: it might be /dev/sdc or sdb or something else [12:52] I tried Pidgin on windows [12:52] it doesn't work [12:52] That's really odd. [12:52] aMSN and Kopete I've tried on here and they don't work either [12:52] only Windows Live Messenger lets me connect [12:53] everything was fine until last night. I was signed in on like 3 accounts, had web cam on one and multiple conversations on the others, then all of a sudden everything just closed, and now it won't let me back on :( [12:55] scorpking: yeah, I don't think so. It's actually a bit more complicated than than though [12:55] brb, I'm gonna reconnect to the internet and get a new IP [12:55] scorpking: normal cdroms seemt to mount to /dev/hda, but the eject cdrom command seems to want to eject hdb [12:56] maltron: if you use the drive in k3b you can view the debug/output and then look at the complete command that k3b used [12:56] well it works now ¬_¬ [12:56] scorpking: ok, lemme try that. [12:57] maltron: that's after the cd burned [12:57] they must have blocked my IP or something [12:58] niall_: Never heard of them doing that before [12:58] niall_: have you tried the removing the config directory for those programs in your home directory? [12:59] well I can connect now [12:59] maybe do mv .pidgen .old or where ever it is [12:59] so I don't need to [12:59] oh ok [12:59] pidgin is running on windows [12:59] I have Kopete and aMSN on Kubuntu [12:59] none of the 3 were working, I renewed my IP and now Kopete connected [13:00] well, hope you find the problem. i have to go. cheers [13:01] I bet Microsoft blocked my IP from connecting using anything other than the official client [13:02] since I was on 3 MSN accounts at once with webcam and multi way conversations on all of them, maybe I was just using too much bandwidth for one person. So they chucked me off and stopped me using anything other than the official client, which naturally only allows one account at a time [13:02] speculation ;D [13:05] maybe I should test this theory [13:09] how do you get a computer to run a cronjob as root? im trying to get my computer to shut itself down but it never works because it needr sudo authorization [13:10] can anyone explain to me how can I use lkl - userspace keylogger for x86 architecture according to this README: http://pastebin.ca/875931 I'm in a dir: /usr/share/docs/lkl/ and I do this: lkl -l -k us_km -o loglkl.txt and in return I get: Started to log port 0x60.

[14:19] no [14:19] !firewall [14:19] 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). [14:21] a firewall on linux [14:21] are you paralized by windows?

[14:25] hagabaka: iptables is part of the kernel [14:26] you can't remove it? [14:26] why would you want to do that? [14:26] you could probably hack it out of the kernel but I don't see why you'd want to [14:26] it's a package for me [14:26] well if you don't use networking why would you want it? [14:26] why not? [14:26] it does no harm [14:26] has no use either [14:26] so? [14:27] so if you want a miminal installation you would want to remove it [14:27] hagabaka: then compile the kernel by hand and remove iptables [14:27] well I'm sure embedded kernels don't include it, you can get rid of it at compilation time [14:27] then there are potentially other linux distributions that don't have firewall built-in :) [14:28] pedant ;p [14:30] i don't see the point of minimal installations anymore , even on a 10yr old pc. [14:31] which wifey still uses with XP ...she's afraid to switch to linux, which would run much faster :( [14:32] BluesKaj: what scares her about it? [14:34] she's been playing a solitaire game for about 5 yrs and has built up a 'number of games played' database which her scores are based on. [14:35] doesn't want to lose it [14:35] format her hard disk [14:36] anyone here use compiz on kde? [14:36] after she's disconnected from that thing, she won't have any problem switching to linux :) [14:36] is there anyway to back it up? [14:36] old pc .. I'm hoping it dies soon , so i can set up a new pc for her [14:36] and then run window solitaire in wine [14:37] does anyone here uses torrentflux? I changed download directory and chmod -w it, but I'm still not able to see it ... any ideas why is that ? [14:37] ever heard of 'pretty good solitaire' ?

I have my wifi setup and running sweet using knetworkmanager, but my network is a wpa-psk network with a hidden ssid. Each time i start up my laptop i have to right click network manager and click "connect to other wireless connection" and fill out the details and it connects.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package blender has no installation candidate. Anyone knows why ? [15:25] H_O_S: try doing "sudo apt-get update" first [15:27] doees kde not support brightness keys? [15:27] or brightness period? [15:27] mine work, but I think they're hardware-based [15:27] the power management brightness works too [15:28] H_O_S, maybe enabling the backports in your sources.list will get you access to it.

[15:37] Hi [15:38] I just wanted to know if the hardy alpha release already comes with kde 4.0 or not. if not i will install gutsy and after that install kde 4.0 [15:39] BluesKaj: found nothing for upstroke/downstroke adn wheere is the search function BluesKaj [15:40] admin91, there is no bootmanager in windows , just the Master Boot Record and it doesn't accomodate Linux , you're stuck with grub [15:40] nah [15:40] it can be done [15:40] Windows does include a reasonable boot manager [15:40] it just doesn'tusually shows its face [15:40] http://www.linux.com/articles/113945 [15:40] admin91: looks like there are instructions here ^^ [15:40] but I haven't followed them myself [15:41] thats' for 2 drives , does that make a diff?

I have to connect using WPA... but K Network Assistant fails, and i don't know how to configure Knetworkmanager [15:52] huh, fglrx AIGLX actually kind of works [15:53] Raizard➜ right click on the knetworkmanager icon in kicker, go to Connect to other wireless network. You can specify WPA in there [15:53] i know nut [15:53] but* [15:53] i don't have this option [15:53] i only have Manual configuration === Sbucatone is now known as Sbucat [15:54] if i try the manual configuration i can only use WEp [15:55] Raizard➜ you don't have a "Connect to other wireless network" option? [15:55] no [15:55] I tried "dd if=/dev/hdb5 of=bootsect.lnx size=512 count=1" but "unrecognized operand seze=512" [15:55] * size [15:56] the icon in the toolbar is like i am connected, but if i wait with the cursor on it, it says " Manual configuration" [15:56] right click on it === |aleksanteri| is now known as aleksanteir === aleksanteir is now known as aleksanteri [15:57] done [15:57] but this option is not here [15:57] admin91: "count=512" might work [15:57] odd [15:57] i have only Manual configuration [15:58] yes i know... The firts time i used it there was Connect to etc... [15:58] if you have ever used Manual Configuration, Networkmanager will have effectively disabled itself [15:58] so some of the options will dissapear [15:58] yes i used manual configuration [15:58] ew, good point. Delete any lines related to your device in the /etc/network/interfaces fie [15:58] my server is acting really weird in linux. its a compaq d500 - the cpu fan is on full speed as if its straining the cpu when its actually doing nothing and when i use it as a local webserver i have to wait ages for the pages to load (it acts as a LAMP server) [15:58] s/fie/file [15:58] any idea what the problem is? [15:59] Raizard: "kdesu kate /etc/network/interfaces". Then comment out (#) all the wireless bits (usually wifi0 or ath0) [15:59] then restart networkmanager or reboot [15:59] so i have to comment all with wlan0? [15:59] it says dd: opening '/dev/hdb5' : Permission denied [16:00] Raizard: yeah [16:00] oh and is there a way i can get the kde gui not to start automatically when the PC boots up? [16:00] Raizard➜ correct, then sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [16:00] sigma_➜ you could comment out the line in /etc/X11/default-display-manager [16:01] thx very much. i'll try and then go back here [16:01] sigma_: or you could do "sudo update-rc.d kdm remove" [16:03] hi [16:03] trying to burn an iso to a dvd with k3b [16:04] I get this error [16:04] Executing 'builtin_dd if=/dev/fd/0 of=/dev/scd0 obs=32k seek=0' [16:04] :-( unable to O_EXCL /dev/scd0: someone was in time to remount?

[16:07] if it's copy-protected you'll need libcss but I won't give any more info than that as it is illegal [16:07] at least, illegal in most countries ;) [16:07] illegal to tell me? [16:07] SlimeyPete: got libdvdcss2 ;) [16:07] :P [16:07] niall_: no, but against channel rules [16:07] weak [16:07] not really I don't think [16:07] !libdvdcss [16:07] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [16:08] yep [16:08] exactly, mentioning libdvdcss is fine, anything more probably isn't ;) [16:08] I can watch DVDs fine [16:08] I just want to rip the audio so I can add it to my Amarok collection [16:09] * SlimeyPete wipes the brown smudge off his nose [16:09] it's a dvd of a live show [16:09] niall_: http://f0rked.com/projects/simplerip [16:09] niall_: thats how I do it ;) [16:09] works like a charm [16:10] can I rip to flac? ;] [16:10] niall_: if you specify it has to use flac codec [16:10] I'm back [16:11] It works!!!

[17:12] can u upgrade from KE3 to KDE4 [17:12] which indicates you are ignorant to the ways of linux [17:12] ive had little linux experience [17:12] now you are asking if you can upgrade from 3 to 4 which........is an ignorant question with an educated undertone [17:12] well you can run them side by side which is better as kde4 is still quite a bit buggy, yet. [17:12] and all of that experience has been bad... [17:12] why has your experience been bad [17:13] fedora corrupted my hard drive... [17:13] my net didnt work for 6 months.... [17:13] what...?

[17:14] lol [17:14] you know what i mean [17:14] =) [17:15] i came in asking about linux over for example windows because i dont know all the differences and advantages over other os's [17:15] there are many advantages and disadvantages to using any for any reason [17:16] i still run vista because i dont see a suitable replacement for media center and my tv tuner............or good compositing software for linux [17:16] other than shake, but i cant find it [17:16] one of the main advantages would probably be more control over your computer then with windows. [17:16] whats a good image program for linux? i had photoshop on my windows [17:16] gimp [17:16] though gimp takes getting use to [17:16] its most similar to photoshop, i still prefer photoshop and you can run it on linux [17:16] agreed ol....

[17:32] interesting [17:33] the repos gave me 3 [17:33] 4.0.1 will also soon be released [17:33] unagi, it's in some kind of external repository [17:33] http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php [17:33] well [17:33] i assumed i was on 4 because it was very visually appealing [17:34] hehe [17:34] back [17:34] unagi [17:34] how do i make a boot screen [17:34] i got multiple hard drives.... with diff partitions on each.. [17:34] grub [17:34] !grub [17:34] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [17:34] ok how do i use it lol [17:35] .......... [17:35] you click the link [17:35] and read [17:35] ...a lost art, that. [17:36] so true [17:36] >_< [17:40] Is there any way to unlock the root acount under Kubuntu? I'm sick of this sudo stuff. [17:40] !root [17:40] 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 [17:41] I've read all that. [17:41] RobotGuy: we dont support root passwords in here. [17:41] You mean Kubuntu doesn't support root passwords, right? [17:41] !supportroot [17:41] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [17:42] root has no password [17:42] Fine, Debian or Gentoo it will be for me then. [17:42] RobotGuy, you can add a root password if you want, can't see why it matters one way or the other though. [17:43] I use kubuntu as root (graphical login). I have never understood what's wrong with it. I do not want to convince anybody tough. [17:46] alesan: what's wrong with it: if there's a malevolent application (trojan whatever), it'd have access to your entire system and could wipe it or install hooks you'd never find out [17:46] Hey, I installed kde4 on ubuntu, it works fine but gnome seems to be running in the background I sometimes see glimpses of the gnome background anyone know why? [17:46] *gnome desktop [17:46] alesan: if that's happening to you while running as a normal user, then you might lose your data, but it couldn't fuck with the system. [17:46] faris: kde4 support -> #kubuntu-kde4 [17:47] muesli: I don't give a damn to the system. I can reinstall any time. what is *really* important to me is my data (that is what I have backups for). [17:47] but, as I said before I do not want to convince anybody. Sorry this is a guaranteed flame, I won't continue talking about it [17:48] I'll go to eat some pizza instead :) [17:48] bye [17:51] !language | muesli [17:51] muesli: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[18:05] adz21c: it bombs out and eventually returns to the no screens error [18:05] cuz it refuses to let me boot enything but windows when its first... [18:05] let me try it locally [18:06] idk how to setup grub or use grub to get me a screent to select the OS [18:06] hi all [18:07] muesli - your use of the f-word. it's not welcome in here [18:07] paki [18:08] i found a bug in Kubuntu 7.10 and want to confirm it [18:09] Daisuke_Ido: i think you misunderstood the rules. i didn't insult anyone, i said "fuck with the system" [18:10] does kubuntu seriously remember your session when you shut down and restore it when you log back in? [18:10] unagi, kind of [18:10] Daisuke_Ido: if that's not welcome in here, i suggest you better start patching kubuntu, since it's all over the place in my source codes and even the kernel ;-) [18:10] it can remember what applications were running and restart them [18:10] thats crazy [18:10] ugh how do i turn up the brightness on my laptop =( [18:10] muesli, this is a family oriented channel, thats why they said to watch your language, [18:11] is there something like #kubuntu-normal-people then? ;-0 [18:11] yes, in fact there is [18:11] um..........what do you mean by normal [18:11] normall? [18:12] what are you trying to say [18:12] that if you have a mind towards family values then you arent normal? [18:12] Arwen: haha :) [18:12] and people wonder why the world is going down the drain [18:12] oh children [18:12] because family values isnt normal.... [18:12] Amarok developers have a different view on normal than many people :) [18:13] * Riddell hugs muesli [18:13] oh gosh, don't take me too seriously please :-) [18:13] Riddell: hey! :) [18:13] how do you turn up the brightness in kbuntu [18:13] unagi, turn the light on :D [18:13] should be under systemsettings -> display if anywhere [18:14] sigh [18:14] and if its not then,,,,,,,,,i dont get brightness [18:14] unagi: click on your batterry in system tray [18:14] in gnome the keys do it [18:14] ah there it is [18:14] now.........how do i get the brightness keys to work [18:15] i think kmilo does extra keys on laptops [18:15] !kmilo [18:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about kmilo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:15] !info kmilo [18:15] kmilo (source: kdeutils): laptop special keys support for KDE.

[20:11] no errors, but I still do not see LACIE in the Storage System [20:11] now type ls -l /media/LACIE/ [20:11] why do i get this error when i try to udate with apt get [20:11] There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. [20:12] Command not found... [20:12] psycholic: run it from konsole - sudo apt-get upgrade [20:12] sorry-- my mistake [20:13] I got the directory of LACIE on the terminal, but the whole point was to see it in the storage system, or in Dolphin [20:13] venik: what's the user and permissions there? [20:13] Dude do i cant find a file i just downloaded with axel any ideas? @ [20:14] tashiro_: download it again [20:14] :P [20:14] i did that like 3 times already [20:15] look where you save it [20:15] Scor-- where do I look?

[20:18] OK-- now it is all back the way it is SUPPOSED to be. All I did was unmount my flash USB drive, and that "fixed" the LACIE drive [20:18] I had seen this sort of unholy interaction b4 [20:19] hi folks [20:19] huh, apparently Photoshop CS2 runs in WINE now. Man I missed out on a lot. [20:19] is it possible to switch workspaces just by pointing to the right or left edge of the window? [20:19] venik: haha. glad to hear :) [20:19] nice looks like its working thanks [20:19] senorpedro: that is better in theory then practice [20:19] Now the USB drive is in the Storage System, and all is well, (probably until the next time I use a flash drive === Thecks_ is now known as Thecks [20:20] senorpedro: it is annoying [20:20] thanks for your help, ScorpKing [20:20] tekteen: i need it for surviving [20:20] Compiz can do it [20:20] how can i activate it??

But it is as good as focus on mouse over [20:21] In theory great [20:21] The two USB drives plug into the same USB hub-- maybe that is why they interact...

[22:01] !adeptfix [22:01] 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 » [22:01] !kde media manager [22:01] thanks :) [22:02] !kde mediamanager [22:02] !kdemediamanager [22:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about kdemediamanager - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:02] ehc: ask a question [22:02] flipstar do you think alternate installer will do the job ? [22:02] we know the factoids [22:02] i cant promise [22:02] but you always can try :) [22:02] :) [22:02] i'll try [22:03] tekteen, i pluged in a flash drive and when I go to storage media it tells me that the KDE media manager isn't running. I have always had flash drives work fine. [22:03] ok [22:03] i would try it at first place... but i know this exact version i'm trying to install worked without any problems at my boyfriend's place [22:03] try to restart kde [22:03] login/out [22:03] and he has almost the same machine as mine [22:05] lock file is still in /var/cache/apt/archives [22:17] I can't believe I cannot get a list of the apps I explicitly installed, are there any apps out there that can probably make this easier to figure out? === ebq is now known as qbe [22:19] vbgunz: I think adept has a history somewhere there [22:20] a nice clean history would be sweet if it excluded system updates and stuff :) [22:20] googling history [22:21] ohh, found this "sudo cat /var/log/apt/term.log" that looks like it may come in handy! [22:21] :) [22:22] I can parse that ;) [22:22] I hope this works! [22:28] is it just me or does gutsy's edition of kde4 seem to be missing most of these features: http://content.zdnet.com/2346-9595_22-183063-1.html ? :( [22:28] what do you miss ? [22:29] look at the features on that page ...most of them don't seem to be available in gutsy's kde4 [22:29] I've done a apt-cache search krunner and that doesn't even seem to exist [22:29] JohnMM: none of the keyboard shortcuts work [22:29] tekteen, so then how do you access the features? [22:29] and many widgets are missing [22:29] no idea [22:30] will this be fixed in the upcoming kubuntu release? [22:30] get the livecd [22:30] yes [22:30] ok cool [22:30] btw, no need for the livecd ...I've already upgraded my gutsy installation to kde4 [22:30] :) [22:30] me too [22:30] "Kickoff menu at lower left, which provides quick access to favorite applications, the new Dolphin file manager at upper left, and the new System Settings interface toward the right" .. its all there.. [22:30] but more stuff works [22:31] the livecd is better [22:31] I see the dolphin file manager and transparent windows but that's about it :( [22:31] I like the comic widget [22:31] hm im running hardy.. [22:32] like the bleeding edge eh flipstar ? [22:32] I'll wait for hardy to come out officially, looks like a release to look forward to :D [22:32] yes it still rocks [22:33] in the meantime, I suppose the transparent effects and dolphin will have to do [22:33] (unless I get adventurous and compile kde from source :D) [22:33] I do not like the kde composite effects [22:33] they hurt my eyes [22:33] they're a little laggy on my mac mini [22:34] I like compiz though [22:34] JohnMM: they are always laggy [22:34] but I suppose it's to be expected that those special effects would lag on a mac mini due to its integrated gfx [22:34] tekteen, ah [22:34] that is why they hurt my eyes [22:34] haha [22:34] compiz works though [22:35] just has less WM features [22:35] ok [22:35] thanks for the info :) [22:36] How do I get alt to stop doing what it's doing [22:36] Like when I play warcraft 3 it prevents me from clicking while holding alt [22:36] what is it doing [22:36] How do I disable the modifier keys === rouzic is now known as rouzic_ausente [22:39] Anyone? [22:39] alt makes you move the windows you click on [22:40] fivetwentysix & grul that is an xorg thang however it may be possable to disable it from kcontrol, i have never wanted to. [22:40] fivetwentysix, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=315350 [22:40] i suppose it's the same problem === nexxus6 is now known as FotografoDelCiel [22:42] thanks [22:42] But that's a solution for gnome users :-( [22:42] I need the KDE solution hehe [22:43] did you looked at systemsettings-->keyboard-->shortcuts ? [22:44] flipstar yes [22:44] fivetwentysix, kcontrol-> Desktop-> Window Behavior-> Window Actions-> Modifier key [22:45] i just copied from ubuntuforus, so i haven't tested it myself :p i'm currently in windows [22:45] fivetwentysix did you try what that post mentioned super alt click ? [22:45] Windows actions? [22:46] intelikey doesn't matter there is no preferences menu in kde [22:46] ? [22:46] has nothing to do with kde [22:46] it's simply modifying the modifier at the time. [22:47] simply go to [22:47] Code: [22:47] System -> Preferences -> Windows [22:47] that's from the post [22:47] gn8 guys [22:47] If I can actually change my modifier key [22:47] that would be perfect [22:47] so is " ==> WIN+ALT+Click does the trick!" [22:48] ok [22:48] So tell me [22:48] How do I do that [22:48] In KDE [22:48] you press the two keys and the mouse button...... [22:49] Oh ok [22:49] But I want to change the alt modifier to use win instead of alt [22:50] khotkeys [22:50] No such package. [22:51] package ? [22:51] alt+f2 type in khotkeys [22:52] ERROR: Communication problem with khotkeys, it probably crashed. [22:52] lol [22:52] heh. oh well. [22:53] Can't get it to run [22:53] you can use it in system settings [22:53] try in a konsole so you can see the error message [22:53] That's what i did [22:53] and that's the error message [22:53] anyways [22:53] Nothing in system settings [22:53] allows me to change the modifier keys [22:54] oh yuch. that's all it said... ? [22:54] system settings > Accessibillity [22:54] Input Actions [22:54] fivetwentysix: click new group [22:55] hi [22:55] holo: hi [22:55] ok [22:56] that's impressive... just stubled upon http://www.haiku-os.org/ [22:56] This is what I want to do, I want to configure X so that it doesn't use alt as my modifier key instead it uses win+alt === sam64 is now known as goop2 [22:56] ok [22:56] boots in qemu (no kvm) in less than 20 seconds including graphical interface and starting a virtual terminal... beating my ubuntu server under same conditions [22:56] thatnm [22:56] nm [22:57] awen_: ok [22:57] Who knows how to do this [22:57] fivetwentysix: I'm wondering why you want that [22:57] have a look in system settings, Keyboard & Mouse [22:58] I did! [22:58] And i can't change it [22:58] It won't let me [22:58] There's no prompt to change it [22:58] There's nothing you can do in System settings that allows me to change the modifier key mappings [22:58] fivetwentysix: it only lists the settings there... you will need to play with your xorg.conf [22:58] It doesn't say anything about it in xorg.conf [22:59] * awen_ can't remember the exact syntax [22:59] five as i said there is probably a way in kcontrol... kcontrol > desktop > window behaviour > modifier button [22:59] I deleted my xorg.conf file and now the 'Moniter & Display' section of 'System Settings' doesn't do anything [22:59] oh it's in the "window action" tab [22:59] i'm just starting using git. My project is shared among two individuals. Me and another guy. Each one has its own repository, so its not centralized. I thought about creating a project specific unix account in each of the tow machines. but this poses a problem: when one wants to edit a file in this account with a x window editor, one has problems with displays if using a other unix account for loging into the x window manager. So my question [22:59] is if there is a way of having non-unix accounts [23:00] goop2: im surprised that your xserver is starting at all [23:00] JoshOvki it probably wont [23:00] JoshOvki: it didn't before I deleted it [23:00] JoshOvki: now it does [23:00] oops.. wrong channel [23:00] sorry guys [23:00] goop2 where was the file you deleted ? [23:00] JoshOvki: if X doesn't find xorg.conf it creates a new one [23:01] ah ok, that makes sence [23:01] intelikey /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:01] goop2 and is that file there now ? [23:01] Please someone tell me how to remove alt as a modifier key. [23:01] Or modify the modifier keys. [23:01] fivetwentysix i just did. for kde3.x use kcontrol [23:02] fivetwentysix: I wonder why, mind to explain? === Timmy is now known as TimS [23:02] five as i said there is probably a way in kcontrol... kcontrol > desktop > window behaviour > in the 'window actions tab' modifier button [23:02] Tm_T It doesn't handle the way I want it to in windows applications. [23:02] intelikey: I have xorg.conf.1, 2, and 3, and a xorg.conf backup file [23:02] fivetwentysix: you mean what exactly? [23:03] It combines the alt effect with windows applications' alt effect [23:03] what alt effect? [23:04] goop2 well you can sudo dpkg-recongirure xserver-xorg -phigh to regenerate the default xorg.conf it needed. [23:04] intelikey: What does meta mean? [23:04] intelikey: Anyways it worked thank you so much, I've been pondering over this problem for a while! [23:05] intelikey: sweet - thanks [23:07] how is it possibile to share a ppp0 interface with a virtual interface [23:07] fivetwentysix http://www.linuxhq.com/guides/LUG/node86.html [23:08] intelikey: it said I don't have the xorg.conf file [23:08] hola1 you could bridge the two maybe ? but it's probably a beter idea to just make the ppp0 the default gateway [23:09] goop2 ? sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf ;sudo dpkg-recongirure xserver-xorg -phigh [23:11] errr typo === Deviance is now known as TimS [23:11] goop2 ? sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf ;sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh [23:11] recongirure =P [23:11] I already fixed it [23:11] sssh don't tell anyont. [23:12] ;/ [23:12] =P [23:12] * intelikey 's fingures are dyslexic today. [23:13] hehe === sam64 is now known as Goop2 [23:15] that worked after all.. sweet [23:15] only that created another problem [23:15] my old resolution feels huge =P [23:16] better than the "fonts too small to read" thing that kubuntu is noted for. [23:16] has flash been fixed yet? [23:16] !flash [23:16] 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 [23:16] 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. [23:16] if so the bot don't know it yet [23:16] ;/ [23:16] they need to get their asses in gear [23:17] i'm totally back in web 1.0 [23:17] yes and thier mules also [23:17] but without the flash ;o [23:17] intelikey: well that's why it feels so big :\ [23:18] Goop2 oh. thought you meant large lettering. what i do is adj all fonts size to about 14 usually makes it look right. [23:19] kcontrol > look+feel > fonts i think [23:19] intelikey: default gateway for host or client? [23:19] intelikey: well it used to seem fine, so I should be able to just get used to it again [23:19] hola1 the default gw for the host needs to be the outside connection. and for the client the host box [23:20] Does GOK work under KDE ? [23:20] anyway, I have to go eat [23:20] later peeps [23:20] Goop2 k. and i don't know why the default font size for all fonts is 9 in kubuntu. [23:21] intelikey: sorry, im a beginner. For the virtual interface which could be the gw [23:22] the ppp0 connection [23:22] back in a few. have to run. [23:24] Does the Gnome on-screen keyboard (gok) work under KDE ? === Flare183_ is now known as Flare183 [23:26] matttis: why not? apart from KDE having its own iiac [23:27] which is the differrent between netmask 255.255.255.0 and 255.255.255.255? [23:28] vzduch: how is it called ? [23:29] no idea, never used it [23:29] vzduch: when i press the buttons of gok, nothng happened [23:29] you might want to look in Kcontrol under Accessibility [23:29] is it because i have a keyboard attached ? [23:33] does anyone know if it's possible to empty the trash with a dcop call or anything at the command line? === guilherme is now known as floripaboy [23:35] matttis: try Kvkbd [23:35] Goop2: cool, thx [23:45] Hey [23:46] I'm running shockwave through firefox on WINE, but firefox freezes whenever I close a tab that uses shockwave [23:46] with that i can learn dvorak [23:46] Is there any way to fix or is it just from incompatibility issues? [23:47] why do you use firefox with wine ? === nivek_ is now known as nivek [23:47] so I can use shockwave [23:47] I used Tux Typing to learn Dvorak [23:48] can anyone help me as to why OpenOffice Word Processor does not print dashes or quotes when the work is exported to PDF or even directly printed? [23:48] Goop2: well, i need a hardware keyboard layout, before i really can start learning dvorak [23:49] matttis: I had a spare keyboard that I popped the keys out of =P [23:49] Goop2: well, maybe i'll try that too :-) [23:50] Willabee: if i remember correct, there is a shockwave plugin for linux ? [23:50] s/?/. [23:50] there is NOT [23:50] there's flash, but not shockwave [23:52] Goop2: do you think it is better to use dvorak instead of the default layout ? Is it worth to learn dvorak ? [23:52] shockwave is outdated.. they never made a Linux version before Flash came out [23:52] I do language learning online, and the website uses shockwave [23:52] matttis: Dvorak is more ergonomical, making it a bit faster too [23:53] hello [23:53] i want to locate the executable of kate [23:53] how do i do that? [23:53] matttis: the keys are arranged to make the most commonly used ones in the easiest places [23:53] there is a command [23:54] how come I can't load kdm themes to my kdm manager please? nothing shows up [23:54] andreas: whereis kate [23:54] im on Gutsy [23:54] andreas- or "which kate" [23:54] thx [23:54] olskolirc, how did you install these themes? or you mean you cant install kdm themes? [23:54] !find kdm [23:54] Found: kde-kdm-themes, kdmtheme, kdm [23:55] Goop2: how long did it take you to learn dvorak and can you "switch" between both if you want ? [23:55] hey [23:55] I can't install them in the kdm theme manager. I downloaded them from kde-look Dr_willis [23:55] I can't install kdm themes Dr_willis [23:56] matttis: I learned it in a couple days, and I haven't learned QWERTY, but there really isn't any reason you couldn't switch between.. [23:56] olskolirc, uncompress them and look at the files. Some times they got different layouts. [23:56] Never learned QWERTY? [23:56] matttis: it's like going from a BMX to a street bike [23:56] what am i looking for Dr_willis [23:56] What'd you use before dvorak? or just always used? [23:56] Willabee: I pecked a qwerty [23:56] Goop2: well, i thought one could confuse it [23:57] can anyone help me as to why OpenOffice Word Processor does not print dashes or quotes when the work is exported to PDF or even directly printed? [23:57] matttis: not really. most people say they can go between the 2 without a problem [23:57] olskolirc, uncompress the archive look in the files. ive seen so many messed up nested archives from kde-look.org its scary [23:58] ok, well, one reason more to learn it :-) [23:58] I though tin the past ive just dragged/dropped kdm theme archives to the kdmtheme tool [23:58] :D [23:58] i see two png files in one and a themerc file in another [23:58] in the same folder rather [23:58] you install with the .tar.gz I believe [23:59] good night
