Dr_willisFarnesk,   can you get into the console with the rescue mode?00:50
Dr_willisTann,  thats very odd.00:50

xen_Hey there i cant seem to browse the net with konquerer, but i can with firefox, is there some setting i should be enabling to browse the www with konqurer?00:51
nosrednaekimDr_willis: slow keys00:51
xen_btw ff has crashed and it wont start again so i dont actually have a working browser atm00:51
TannDr_willis: What is really odd is that It was working and a few moments later, it wasn't I restarted my computer and it still didn't work.00:51
jussi01xen_: try killing the ff processes00:51
xen_no, its not running00:52

intelikeythis old p3 system boots in less than 5 seconds.  only 22 processes and 17 lines of startup dialog http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d79ab70a0    (i consider that a "nice clean system startup")00:57
intelikeyTann what do you need ?00:57
Dr_willisTann,  kdm isent a wm ;) its a login manager.     Does the keybaord work in the console?   alt-ctrl-f1 ?00:57
xen_norsednaekim sorry im using a wireless adapter, i can use the internet fine with ff, but ff is dead i dont want to use ff anyhow00:58
intelikeyDr_willis he may need to reset the keyboard    alt+sysRQ+r00:58
xen_norsednaekim not using knetworkmanager btw00:58
intelikeyDr_willis sorry if that's off base.  i just got here.00:58
Dr_willisintelikey,  im vague on his exact issues also. keyboard dont work in kde, but it does in gnome is the Gist of it all.00:59
intelikeyDr_willis hmmm ok that sounds like a misconfigured kde i18  or something   possably need to set his language again ?01:00
xen_Dr_willis i tried the localhost, but it says it cant connect to that either01:00
xen_i have konquere set to connect to net directly01:00
xen_and am not using a proxy01:01
xen_but still doesnt connect :S01:01
Dr_willistry making a new user. see if it works for them.01:01
nosrednaekimxen_: ok01:01
Dr_willisI dont use Konqueror as a web browser. So cant really say what may be wrong.01:02
intelikeyi have see that issue described in here before xen_   you can irc from the box but not browse ?     there should be something on the forums about that01:02
xen_yup01:02
xen_one problem, i dont have a working browser lol01:02
=== u^A is now known as u^A_
xen_my system crashed earlier on today, ever since that firefox doesnt work anymore01:02

xen_yup, tyvm01:03
Dr_willissudo apt-get install opera01:03
Dr_willis:)01:03
Dr_willisthen crash it!01:03
xen_lol01:03
xen_seems to be my luck today01:03
xen_i dont like opera so much though, i cant find a good adblock plugin or anything01:03
xen_though i havent really had a good look as yet01:03
|Tann|Dr_willis: Yes, the keyboard works in the terminal01:04
Dr_willisi use so many extensions for firefox :) i cant stand any other browsers01:04
xen_yeah i love firefox, but it just doesnt work anymore :S01:04
xen_even after reinstalling it and everything01:04
xen_no crash log about it either :S01:04
Dr_willis|Tann|,  -->  <intelikey>  that sounds like a misconfigured kde i18  or something   possably need to set his language again ?01:04
|Tann|Dr_willis: How would I go about doing that?01:05
Dr_willisno idea :) I just use english01:05
Dr_willisI would guess in the settings menu, some keyboard setting tool.01:06
mixedhow can i update to gutsy gibbon from feisty?01:06
Dr_willissystem settings -> region/language  perhaps |Tann|01:06
Dr_willis!update | mixed01:07
ubotumixed: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes01:07
mixedDr. Willis, thank you01:07
|Tann|Dr_willis: k01:08
Dr_willisUpgrading to  The Next release right now. :) lets see how Hardy does.  heh01:08
mixedDr. Willis, how do I update feisty using command line?01:08
Dr_willisthat guide disent say so? I just ran update-manager -d  here.01:09
Dr_willisWhich i think is the 'proper' way.   apt-get dist-update  i think MAY not get all the stuff correctly01:09
Dr_willisI rarely upgrade,  :)  i normally do clean reinstalls.01:09
mixedDr. Willis, before I update to gutsy gibbon feisty needs to be updated.  How do I update feisty?01:09
mixedDr. Willis, I have a spanking brand new installation of feisty, I just installed it a few days ago, didnt realized it was so old01:10
xen_i hate to sound like a critic, but ubuntu has really gota do something about smoothing out upgrades, ive never been able to succesfully upgrade without problems01:10
Dr_willisGiven the total disaster ive seen with windows and their upgrades...... :)01:11
Dr_willisOf course with windows a reinstall is a 'fix' for broken systems. So  its all relative.01:11
Dr_willisOften its the users installing 3rd party apps, or using tools like envy/automatix/so forth that cause the upgrade issues.01:11
mixedcorrect!  and the things that are wrong with redmond isn't a defficiency, it's a  "feature"01:12
Dr_willisI always do a clean reinstall - since that way i know what the other 'users' are starting with - from a tech support point of view01:12
mixedDr. Willis, sorry for all the noob questions, I am still not familiar with the utilities in ubuntu, I used to use SuSE01:12
xen_yeah but i mean c'mon, how many people have 3rd party apps, just about everyone i know, in otherwords, you cant upgrade without a problem01:12
TannDr_willis: That didn't work01:13
Dr_willismost of the upgrade issues ive seen are  from the nvidia/ati , and wireless, and other drivers also.01:13
Dr_willisevery 6 mo with a new release the channel is full of upgrade-issues :) then it calms down.01:14
intelikeyxen_ google hates me.   i did look for that issue and an easy fix   no can find.  but i'm sure that someone here or in #ubuntu can point you to one.       and yes if you use linux then you have all third party apps or a third party kernel    one of the two.01:18
intelikeyi guess i posted that just a little too late01:20
Dr_willisHmm.. Update manager - 'there are 995 packages to be upgraded' :)   Hardy here I come!  - Lucky this is a test pc.01:24

hexchcan somebody help, my problem is that my kde is laggy...?02:10
NickPrestahexch, what are you system specs?02:13
hexchyou mean hw?02:14
NickPrestahexch, yeah. Processor, graphics card, RAM, etc02:14
hexchamd x2 6000+, 3gb ram, nvidia 8600gt02:15
NickPrestahexch, it definitely should not be laggy. It should be smooth. Has this always been an issue or just recently?02:15
hexchwell i used ubuntu before worked fine, just gut kubuntu this week02:16
intelikeydid i hear that kde4 with some affects is always laggy ?02:16
NickPrestahexch, which nvidia driver are you using?02:16
hexchlet me check02:17
hexchnvidia02:18
NickPrestahexch, so the proprietary nvidia driver?02:18
hexchwell the system automaticly loaded the driver02:18
internat85Hi, with kde, how do i setup vnc so that i can connect to the existing session?02:18
hexchwhat should I change it to ?02:18
GerrySlyhey guys, how would I check information like if any windows managing system is installed (kde, gnome)02:19
NickPrestahexch, well, the 'nvidia' driver should be working well. However, I don't think the system automatically installed it for you (due to licensing restrictions). What does: grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf output?02:19
GerrySlyI am running a server and I want to VNC into it, but I dunno if it has KDE or Gnome installed02:20
hexch Driver          "kbd"02:20
hexch        Driver          "mouse"02:20
hexch        Driver          "wacom"02:20

Dragnslcrinternat85- K Menu -> Internet -> Krfb -> Configure -> Allow Uninvited Connections02:20
Dragnslcrinternat85- though you way want to also look into using a VNC server that has SSL support02:21
NickPrestahexch, okay. Fair enough. That is rather strange that things are laggy.02:21
internat85does it always run on display 0?02:21
yao_ziyuanwhat are console ways to change screen resolution?02:21
Dragnslcrinternat85- if you enable it from the Krfb settings, yeah02:21
hexchI think so to :(02:21
NickPrestahexch, you can try disabling effects like transparency, etc, if they are turned on.02:22
yao_ziyuanHardy 4 has a bug in changing screen resolution. i have to use a console way02:23
yao_ziyuanlike XFdrake?02:23
NickPrestayao_ziyuan, hardy support in #ubuntu+102:23
yao_ziyuani know02:23
hexchok i try that02:23
Dr_willisthres a dpkg-reconfigure SOMTHING command02:23
Dr_willis:)02:23
Dr_willisor you an manyally edit the xorg.conf02:23
yao_ziyuanbut this is a general question: how to change screen resolution in console?02:23
NickPrestaYou can try manually editing your xorg.conf or you can do: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg02:23
Dr_willis!fixres02:23
ubotuThe X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto02:23

mixedwhat's the app that I can use to burn gutsy-gibbon image to a CD and make it bootable?02:34
NickPrestamixed, k3b can burn an ISO image02:34
mixedk3b works on gnome as well, right?  im going to have to install it02:35
NickPrestamixed, if you need support for Ubuntu, ask in #ubuntu. This is for Kubuntu and KDE02:36
mixedNickPresta, sorry, I usually use kubuntu, I installed feisty in this lappie from an old CD I thought had kubuntu02:37
NickPrestamixed, ah okay. gnomebaker is for the GNOME desktop.02:38
mixedNickPresta, I'm going to reinstall gutsy then ubuntustudio and then off course kubuntu02:39

sparr_im not in a gaming mood this month, so i havent had to deal with nvidia lately...  always dread it03:16

Darkrift412sent it in, they replaced mobo, wifi, kb and hd to fix it...... now im stuck with vista again03:17
Darkrift412and im afraid to start back into that hellish crap to get kubuntu back on here03:18
AMcBainOr at the very least, can anyone direct me to a channel than can help with the drive problem? It would be very bad for me to redo all the partitions and start over not knowing whether Kubuntu can even read my backup ...03:18
intelikeydid they replace the os as well ?   or was that your doing ?03:18
Daisuke_Laptopi would really like some empirical evidence for "nvidia screws up linux every time"03:18
Darkrift412what do you mean03:18
Darkrift412it comes with vista03:18

Daisuke_Laptopno i didn't.  i said "generally"03:20

ubotuHey guys: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/03:23
NickPresta:)03:23
intelikeyhow about if you don't have a ubuntu help question....    never mind.03:23
Darkrift412i did have a question03:24
Darkrift412never got a reply03:24
Darkrift412someone got me stuck on another topic03:24
Daisuke_Laptopokay, what was the question?03:24
Darkrift412over a simple comment that i made without sitting for 2 minutes thinking about it first03:24
Darkrift412anyone know if 7.10 has built in drivers for the bcm43xx wifi card?03:24
Dr_willisone normally uses the fwcutter tools for the bcm cards to download the proper files/drivers03:25
Darkrift412thats what i was afraid of03:25
NickPrestaDarkrift412, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDriver%2903:25
Daisuke_Laptopouch...  afaik, broadcom support is still not built in, *but* the...  what the good doctor said03:25
Daisuke_Laptopis it a mini-pci wifi card?03:25
Darkrift412yup03:25
Darkrift412dell card in a compaq laptop03:26
Dr_willisSome of the cards require different drivers also. depending on the exact chipset03:26
Darkrift412with a broadcom chipset....03:26
Dr_willisbroadcom makes a lot of chipsets.03:26
Darkrift412i wonder if gateway designed the carbon that the chipset is made out of :S03:26
Darkrift412i remember a 2-3 week fight to get my wifi working last time03:27
Darkrift412without wifi, my internet consists of me sitting behind my daughters dresser on the floor with my laptop trying to download drivers and other tools for hours at a time03:27
intelikeywhat's an opensource wifi chip ?        or are there any?03:27
Dr_willisWith the release of gutsy my wireless in my laptop started working fine. :)  had a friend with a new hp 2000?? somthinglaptop - we had to isntall the latest wireless stuff for his to work03:27
Daisuke_Laptopralink is probably the closest03:28
Daisuke_Laptopintel has great support as well03:28
NickPrestaralink is the best, by far03:28
Daisuke_Laptopatheros isn't as great, but isn't bad by any means03:28
intelikeyralink    k.03:28
Daisuke_Laptopi *found* a mini-pci g card on newegg for $3203:28
Daisuke_Laptophowever, i don't know the chipset...  yet03:28
Darkrift412hrmmmmm03:28
Darkrift412im about to get a belkin usb stick wifi card and try that out03:29
Daisuke_Laptopoooh03:29
Daisuke_Laptopit's atheros03:29
Darkrift412or better yet, illl look into those dlink media center wireless hubs03:29
Daisuke_Laptopmadwifi to the rescue!03:29
huhligwow03:30
Daisuke_Laptop'ello huhlig03:31
AMcBainCan I please get some help on my ext hdd + dolphin issue? I'm trying to start my whole PC over, but that's kinda hard when your intended main OS when you are done can't even read your back up hdd now!03:31
huhligI just tried both hardy and gutsy and neither work03:31
Daisuke_Laptophardy isn't for general use yet03:31
NickPresta!doesn't work | huhlig03:31
ubotuhuhlig: 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.03:31
huhligubotu, ok, when it switched graphics mode the screen goes black and never comes back03:32
huhligswitching to a console doesnt work03:32
NickPrestahuhlig, did you try booting in safe graphics mode?03:32
huhligyep03:32
huhligsame black screen03:32
huhligsafe mode worked in hardy03:32
NickPrestahuhlig, which graphics card?03:32
huhlignvidia FX 360M03:33
huhligquadra03:33
huhligNickPresta, any ideas?03:34
AMcBainKubuntu: Dolphin: "hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000": Seagate FreeAgent Drive (external hardrive). How much simpler can I make it!?03:35
AMcBainI just want to be able to access my data103:36
NickPrestathe 100.14.23 nvidia display driver supports the Quadro FX 360M. That was released back in October 2007. I'm not sure how to go about fixing the LiveCD issue but if you can install the system in "safe graphics mode" and then install the proprietary nvidia driver, things should be fine03:36
Darkrift412odd that console doesnt work though03:37
Darkrift412console shouldnt care about your display drivers03:37
NickPrestaagain, he just said "Doesn't work". I don't know what that means :)03:37
huhligok, I finally got myself to a console03:39
Dr_willisAMcBain,  install the ntfs-config tool, run it. check  the enable check boxs  - worked for me.03:39
huhligwhat copmmand do I need for console installation03:39
huhliglike the old debian installer03:39
AMcBainDr_willis: but Kubuntu can read my other NTFS partition that is already on the PC ... so why not an external HDD with NTFS?03:41
intelikeyyou need the alternate install cd03:41
intelikeyhuhlig the live cd has no text based install03:41
doobehHmm, I just resized my monitor down to 800x600, and now I'm trying to put it back up to normal, but the Okay/Apply button is hidden behind the bottom bar03:43
AMcBainDr_Willis: I got it by hand, creating the folder I wanted it to be on /dev and then mounting it.03:44
doobehanyway to... hide the bottom bar temporarly so I can change the res ? :)03:44
AMcBainBut it was rather silly that I even had to do that.03:44
ubuntuhello03:44
intelikeyso move the window03:44
intelikeyalt+click drag03:44
ubuntui need help installing kubuntu 7.1003:45
Darkrift412doobeh see if you can drag the window up and resize it from the bottom, normally works for me03:45
ubuntui am in the prepare partitions of the install process03:45
doobehalt-drag worked, thanks03:45
ubuntuand i have already setup an ext3 and swap partition03:45
ubuntui am able to select the ext3 partition but cant select the swap partition03:46
Darkrift412select it for what03:46
ubuntuso that i can set it as the swap03:47
Darkrift412oh :S03:47
ubuntuwill kubuntu automatiocally do that?03:47
Darkrift412is it labeled swap?'03:47
ubuntuyes03:47
Darkrift412then yes03:47
ubuntuand i want it to be used as swap03:47
ubuntuok03:47
Darkrift412i mean, not a drive label03:48
Darkrift412but in the partitioning util, does it say swap03:48
ubuntuyes in the "Type" coloumn03:48
Darkrift412i havent used the 7.10 installer yet, but in the other versions, thats how it worked03:48
Darkrift412then you should be good03:48
Darkrift412i dotn believe it will let you go forward without a swap partition setup properly03:48
ubuntuok thankyou i am continuing with the install :-)03:49
Darkrift412can you install stuff on the live cd?03:49
ubuntui dont think so the changes will be lost when you reboot03:50
intelikey<Darkrift412> i dotn believe it will let you go forward without a swap partition setup properly <<< sorry i can't say about 7.10 but earlier ubiquities will let you.03:50
intelikeyDarkrift412 yes you can install on the live CD if you have the ram for it03:51
Darkrift412i can deal with that, but i just want to test run the bcm43xx driver installation from a live cd before killing my windows partition03:51
Darkrift412my problem would be getting the driver installers and stuff to the live cd :S03:51
Darkrift412unless the livecd can read ntfs nativly03:51
* intelikey doesn't use swap nor partitions.03:52
Dr_willislive cd has ntfs read support.03:52
Darkrift412nice03:53
Darkrift412ok, how about this.... anyone know how i would find my wifi's chipset in vista?03:53
tyson_Darkrift412: is it a laptop?03:54
Darkrift412yes03:54
tyson_u know the model number?03:54
Darkrift412its a bcm43xx, but i need the specific version03:54
tyson_ok03:54
tyson_go to the manufacturer's site03:54
Dr_willisi would google for that exact make/model laptop and linux.03:54
Darkrift412compaq v6210us03:54
tyson_they should list it03:54
intelikeyDarkrift412 maybe  ##windows03:54
Darkrift412i have, but i find lots of useless/wrong info03:54
tyson_then download a program called everest home (its free)03:55
tyson_it will tell you also03:55
Darkrift412nice03:55
tyson_i expect it will be broadcom or intel03:55
tyson_...and i would think that kubuntu will support that03:55
Darkrift412i know its broadcom 43xx03:56
Darkrift412PCI/AGP 14E4-4311: Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN [NoDB]03:58
Darkrift412does that mean its the 4311?03:58

alakhiahad a question about auto-mounting in kde05:33
alakhiai have two usb mass storage devices ... and they get mounted as /media/disk and /media/disk-105:34
alakhiadepending on which one I mount first05:34
Agent_bobremovable or internal alakhia ?05:34
alakhiaremovable, Agent_bob05:34
Agent_bobah ok.  usb.    sorry.  i'm lagging real bad05:35
alakhiaproblem is that my sym-links don't work unless I get the order right05:35
alakhiano problem, Agent_bob05:35
alakhiaanyway I can name the dir created in /media based on device ID or something like that?05:35
Agent_bobalakhia hmmm   what do the links point at ?     ls -l /media/disk /media/disk-105:36
alakhiaI have symlinks like ~/Pictures -> /media/disk/Pictures05:36
alakhiabut if the drive that has pictures is mounted first, this works05:37
alakhiaotherwise, the drive shows up as /media/disk-1 and my Pictures symlink points to the first drive05:37
Agent_bobyeah you can't mount on /media/disk/Pictures unless /media/disk is mounted05:37
alakhiawhich doesn't have the Pictures dir05:37
alakhiaI'm not trying to mount another dir within a mounted dir05:38
alakhiai'm basically mounting /media/disk and /media/disk-105:38
Agent_bobthe mountpoint for disk 2 is actually on disk 1     unless you change that you'll always have that issue.    OR! you could make the same dir on the other disk, and let it mount in reverse order.05:38
alakhiawell, in my case, kde is05:38
alakhiano no, the two mountpoints are separate05:39
alakhiathe order doesn't matter05:39
Agent_bobclue_by_four*** a symlink is not a mountpoint.  it only points to one.05:39
alakhiaright ... the symlinks are in my home dir05:40
alakhiai juse need a consistent way to point my symlinks ...05:40
Agent_bobok.   again   ls -l /media/disk /media/disk-105:40
Agent_boblets see what is happening?05:41
alakhiaright now, my /media/disk has Pictures dir05:41
Agent_boband if you hadn't noticed, i'm lagging.05:41
alakhiaok05:41
Agent_bobwait.   i think i see what you are trying to say.     and "you can't"    a symlink can not point to more than one destination"05:43
alakhiai want the symlink to always point to the same drive05:44
dick-richardsonhow do I compile source code that I wrote?05:44
dick-richardsoncpp myfile.cpp something.exe?05:44
Agent_bobnow.  if you want to make them manually mounted you can setup fstab and make symlinks that will work every time that the fs is mounted.05:44
alakhiabasically, i want the thumbdrive usb to be /media/thumb ... and my backup drive to be /media/backup05:45
Dr_willisyou dont need to name it .exe :)05:45
alakhiais there a way for the auto mounter to do that?05:45
Dr_willisalakhia,  you could set the thumbdrives label to be thumb?  that may  let it get automounted to /media/thumb05:45
alakhiahow do I set the label?05:46
dick-richardsonDr_willis: right, but the output of the cpp command should be executable?05:46
Dr_willisTheres a bit of voodoo magic in how ithe stuff picks names.05:46
Dr_willisalakhia,  depends on its filesystem :)05:46
alakhiait's fat3205:46
Dr_willisproberly safest to set its label in wndws if its vfat/ntfs05:46
alakhiahmmm, ok05:47
Dr_willisIt might not even have a Label if its just being called 'disk'05:47
alakhiaright ... that's why my symlinks always break05:47
Agent_bobdick-richardson executable is not determined by name but by permission05:47
alakhiaboth devices want to be called /media/disk05:47
Dr_willisYou could always set up a specific fstab entry based on label - also.05:47
Dr_willisor uuid,05:47
Dr_willisbut that overrides the automounting stuff at times.05:48
dazzahi, what's the channel for kubuntu+1?05:48
Darkrift412alakhia, try pointing to the drives id, not the drive type05:48
dazzaie the hardy channel05:48
Darkrift412yes, like he said, uuid05:48
Darkrift412the id will always be the same for that device, no matter what else is plugged in05:48
dick-richardsonAgent_bob: yes i know...what I'm saying is that running cpp on my source code results in a compiled binary, correct?05:48
alakhiauuid ... what is that?05:48
stdindazza: #ubuntu+105:48
Darkrift412so if you point at that uuid, it will always point at the same drive no matter what05:48
dazzathanks stdin05:48
Darkrift412under your mount points, you have devices sorted by uuid05:48
Darkrift412im not at a *nix box right now, so i cant give more details05:49
Dr_willisI find the LABEL option looks nicer in fstab then using UUID :)05:49
Darkrift412but there shoudl be a path that says something about "device by uuid" or something05:49
Dr_willis!uuid05:49
ubotuTo see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)05:49
Dr_willisls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid05:49
Dr_willisis another way to see  the uuids05:49
Dr_willis ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/05:50
sub[t]rnlblkid05:50
Dr_willislrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2008-02-02 16:50 VistaBoot -> ../../sda205:50
Darkrift412check each device and see which one has the uuid you want, and then point your "shortcut" to that uuid path instead of /disk05:50
Dr_willisshows my disk is label VistaBoot :)05:50
Dr_willisLABEL=Vistaboot /media/VistaBoot ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 005:50
Dr_willisis my fstab entry for that.05:51
Dr_willisOR i could use the UUID=#########  /media/VistaBoot ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 005:51
Dr_willisfor example.05:51

Dr_willisAgent_bob,  nope. a line in fstab overrides the automounting. BUT when you go to access the device in konquer - i think it will mount then.06:00

AMcBainAny idea why Amarok has a problem with multiple albums with the same name? I gave two Gold [Disc 1] and Gold [Disk 2] for Aerosmith and Joe Cocker. It insists when I choose an album cover that I am doing it for the Aerosmith album (as it comes first alphabetically) even when I distinctly click on the Joe Cocker image06:55
AMcBainOkay, I admit that since Albums are composed of songs, it might be a bit hard to keep them apart (as albums have no affinity towards a certain artist)06:56

AMcBainThough when it asks you the first time to restart the X-Server ... click no, and restart the PC manually yourself.07:56

MilhousePunkRockAMcBain: The always used to b there... The just changed it to extras for the windows version08:08
sub[t]rnlAMcBain➜ kcontrol -> kde components -> default applications08:08
AMcBain?? There is no kcontrol08:09
sub[t]rnlalt + f2 and type kcontrol08:09
AMcBainnevermind. found it under system settings.08:09
ol_dude67AMcBain, open firefox and set it in preference under edit.08:10
AMcBainThat doesn't do it.08:10
AMcBainI tried that last time. Seems to be broke,.08:10
ol_dude67ah ok,08:10
* AMcBain remembers he has to install Thunderbird ...08:10
jessiesudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser08:11
jessiethere it is!08:11
AMcBainOh no!08:13
jessieAMcBain: sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser08:13
AMcBainI can't find my files for Thunderbird ... I know I grabbed them ...08:13
jessiethat'll do it for you...08:13
jessieAMcBain: thats no good!08:13
AMcBainThat means I've lost ZILLIONS of e-mails forever.,08:14
AMcBainHow do you explain that to others? Please resend? :P08:14
jessiehahaha.... ummm... you cant? haha08:14
val0running vmware server on kubuntu, trying to add a serial number but get the "need to be an administrator to enter serial number error". what's the solution? thanks08:14
jessieval0: run vmware as root?08:15
ol_dude67sudo then the number08:15
jessieaka using sudo08:15
val0ol_dude67: sudo vmware ####-####?08:15
ol_dude67no just sudo and the number08:16
AMcBainI know I went into the folder at least ... so why didn't I copy it? Since the install had to reformat the partitions to ext3 ... that means I lost them forever, unless they are on the disk somewhere that I don't see.08:16
val0ol_dude67: in the console?08:16
jessieol_dude67: that dont make no sense. it should be something like... sudo vmware-register08:16
jessieAMcBain: .thunderbird?08:16
val0jessie: that's what i am confused about08:17
ol_dude67well when i installed it i just had to put sudo the number in consol,when it was installing08:17
AMcBainjessie: My previous OS was Windows.08:17
jessieval0: no joke, shouldnt be just the number.08:17
AMcBainSo it doesn't start with .thunderbird ...08:17
AMcBain(iirc)08:17
travkin_:))08:17
val0jessie: i know that i can run config vmware again and enter it there, but i don't remember how to enter in manually08:17
jessieAMcBain: ohhhh....... hmm... thats not good at all. yeah, i dont know what you could do. try using a file thingy ma jigger..08:17
TheWhiteRookAMcBain, I rebooted and the problem fixed itself08:18
AMcBainOk08:18
TheWhiteRook:)08:18
AMcBainOh weird. ls sees some folders I don't.08:18
AMcBainI did copy it.08:18
AMcBainls++08:18
TheWhiteRookwhen google fails... reboot...08:18
AMcBainOh. they show up as red on ls. that's bad.08:19
AMcBainIs there anyway to get Linux to see folders with *spaces* in their names!?08:20
AMcBainOr at least let me rename them?08:20
AMcBainIt won't even let me cd there even if I use ''08:21
jessieAMcBain: i have spaces in em08:21
jessieahh..... use the tab08:21
AMcBaintab?08:21
jessieie, if you have a folder named "Jessie Morris", type in "cd Jessie" click tab... waula!08:22
sub[t]rnlAMcBain➜ what makes you think linux doesn't recognize spaces?08:22
sub[t]rnlheh..08:22
AMcBainls shows them in red and won't let me ls or cd there.08:22
Dr_willissub[t]rnl,  :) lack of  experience :)08:22
AMcBainAnd Dolphin won't show them either.08:22
AMcBainSo by process of elimintation ...08:22
Dr_willistry a ls -l08:23
AMcBainelimination*08:23
Dr_willisred often means broken links08:23
Dr_willisin ls at least. :)08:23
Dr_willisor was that flashing red? i forget.08:23
AMcBainls -l shows them as ??? Which they shouldn't be, as they copied themselves nicely ...08:23
Dr_willisI gotta find a 'what all the colors in ls mean' web site someday08:23
Dr_willisshows what as ??>? the owner?08:24
AMcBainI think this is a side affect of having to manually mount this ..08:24
jessieDr_willis: what does one have to do to get colors on ls?08:24
AMcBain?? for everything. owner , mod etc.08:24
Dr_willisjessie,  its the default.. ls --color can force it.08:24
Dr_willisls -l Firefox_wallpaper.png08:24

Dr_williswhat filesystem are these files on?08:25
AMcBainNTFS08:25
Dr_willis alias ls='ls --color=auto'08:25
Dr_willisis the default on ubuntu i thought08:25
AMcBainI could visit a lab PC and see if they are really there or what-not.08:25
AMcBain(all labs are PC, except one or two mac ones somewhere ...)08:25
AMcBainLet me go and come back and see where I get.08:26
jessiethank you!08:26
AMcBainIf they are truly gone I will be very angry.08:26
jessiehey, Dr_willis how do i make that alias change perminate?08:27
* AMcBain runs off to go try his 'experiment'.08:27
Dr_willisedit your .bashrc or .bash_profile08:27
jessiei dont seem to have one.... :S08:28
AMcBainYou can always create one.08:28
AMcBainUsing a text editor.08:28
Dr_willisthats weird.08:28
AMcBain(nano is installed by default, I think)08:28
Dr_willisI got a rather complex one by default08:28
jessieDr_willis: you're telling me. and yeah, would you pastebin it for my convinence?08:28
Dr_willisdoes all sorts of nice things. :)08:28
jessiehaha.... like what?08:29

Dr_willisyou want all subdirs? that may take a lot of cpu time08:40
jessiewhoops... now its butt slow... haha08:40
AMcBainOkay, the folders do exist, but now I'm going through the whole "mount causes error" shit agian.08:41
AMcBainagain*08:41
jessieAMcBain: what is the exact error?08:41
AMcBainWell, it says the directory doesn't exist, while Dolphin says it does, but says "hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000"08:42
jessieAMcBain: try force mounting it by hand08:43
AMcBainI did. I had to do that to override my idiocy at unplugging it from the Windows PC and not removing it nicelty.08:43
AMcBainnicely*08:44
jessieie, sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 ...08:44
jessieyou did it like that?08:44
AMcBainYep,08:44
AMcBainSays /media/sdc1 doesn't exist ...08:45
AMcBainwhich it does ...08:45
jessieyou sure it does?08:45
jessieAMcBain: ls -l /dev/sd*08:45
jessiepastebin it08:45
jessieplease08:45
AMcBainI know. You wouldn't want that pasted to the channel.08:46
jessieAMcBain: meh... you never know. people do it all the time!08:46
AMcBainhttp://pastebin.stonekeep.com/154708:46
jessieAMcBain: ok, do "sudo umount /dev/sdc1"08:48
jessiethen, sudo mkdir /media/sdc108:48
AMcBainmounting straight "sdc" doesn't work ... one sec.08:48
jessieAMcBain: well, yeah, you have to mount partitions, not disks08:48
AMcBainIt says it wasn't mounted in the first place ...08:49
jessieAMcBain: ok, thats fine then. so do the sudo mkdir /media/sdc108:49
AMcBaindone08:49
AMcBainNow what?08:50
jessieAMcBain: alright, now "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /media/sdc1"08:50
* AMcBain rejoices.08:50
jessieAMcBain: better? haha08:50
AMcBainAnd my "bad" folder is there now too.08:50
jessieAMcBain: you may need to use sudo to copy things over. file permissions may be all funky08:51
AMcBainSeems to work08:51
AMcBainShows up green under ls08:52
jessieAMcBain: awesome. glad i could help. btw, that mount command is pretty general08:52
jessielike, it goes "sudo mount -t "file_sys" "/device/to/mount" "/place/to/mount/to"08:52
AMcBainNow I just have to figure out why Thunderbird only gives me the option on first start to not import anything. It's a radio button with only one option. So dumb.08:53
jessieAMcBain: it does? hmmm...08:53
Dr_willishal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000" - can be  fixed by installing/running the ntfs-config utility and checking the box;s :) but that just adds a proper fstab entry  for the devices mainly08:53
AMcBainI tried that.08:54
AMcBainBut the program installs, and when I run it, I get no window.08:54
jessieAMcBain: that is quite retarded!08:54
AMcBainI can try again.08:54
Dr_willissudo ntfs-config08:55
AMcBainjessie: yes, well, I'll just have to follow their steps to running the profile manager.08:55
Dr_willis oh you are talking about Thunderbird08:55
AMcBainOh lovely. The Thunderbird FAQ doesn't have a category about migrating from itself to itself (different platforms or a reinstall)08:57
mixedDr_willis, thank you for the 411, I think, I just updated ubuntustudio with kde, don't know how I did it but it worked, kinda drunk right now but it's all good, cheers!08:57
jessieAMcBain: ok, just take the folder08:58
jessieand move it to your home dircectory08:58
jessierename it to .thunderbird08:58
AMcBainWait ... I do see a thingy for it.08:58
jessieAMcBain: thats good!08:59
AMcBainOn their webpage.08:59
jessieAMcBain: i would guess its something like what i suggested, right?09:00
AMcBainWell, sorta. I gotta fix some pathing stuff, as it came from XP ...09:01
AMcBainExcept the profile.ini checks out ...09:01

ThecksIt's not just us..09:56
ThecksYeah, basically KNetworkManager is crap - as soon as you try "Manual Configuration", wireless will never work for you again. Handy, eh?09:56
ThecksAnyway, you can get it back to auto-config by doing:09:56

JoshOvkijpatrick: i said no sarcastic answers ;) i know how it works, i was asking kiefer is it working :)10:36
kieferand is it?10:36
ThecksWell, nothing else will be playing, but doesn't mean it's not in use.10:36
ThecksBut then why should it matter if an application is making a sound, they should both be able to use the audio right?10:37

ThecksI don't think it's a case of the files failing10:39
ThecksAs if I kill Amarok restart (sometimes have to do it twice) it will work again10:39

Dr_willis_Angelus_,  powersaving can be a very big hassle.   thats about all i know about it. :)11:29
ubuntu_brb11:29
JoshOvki_Angelus_: whats the problem (as i wasnt here for the question)?11:29
_Angelus_JoshOvki:  when  i go to System Settings, and monitor and display, and power saving, the only option i have is to set the time when monitor turns off, but i dont havethe option to set the timer when computer goes in standby mode .11:32
_Angelus_when i go to K menu , logout, i have the option to suspend , and to hibernate, which i dont know  what suspend is if its the same as sleep or standby11:33
XcellAmerica needs help: http://youtube.com/watch?v=3MzShg7yXik no pun intended, play it loud.11:34
JoshOvki_Angelus_ : Unforinutaly kubuntu doesnt support power saving aswell as windblows11:35
_Angelus_JoshOvki:  on Archlinux i had the options to set when my computer goes to standby , when to hibernate, and when to turn off the monitor, i dont think that kubuntu doesnt have this, RIGHT? :?11:36
Dr_willisit may be due to some kernel differeances that the same power saving features are not enabled11:37
kieferJosh: Installing vlc now :)11:38
JoshOvkiIt is a feature that has never been built into kubuntu. its available in ubuntu11:38
Dr_willisoften powersaving features can be  limited depending on the bios features.11:38

JoshOvki_Angelus_ it cant find anyway of getting it to run when your system is idle sorry11:42
_Angelus_i didnt understand JoshOvki11:43
Lynoure_Angelus_: it's in power manager: "When the system is idle for more than X min"11:46
Lynoure_Angelus_: Do you need more detailed help in finding it?11:48
JoshOvkii could google this but i would rather get your recommendations. Whats the best program for burning DVD's?11:48
JoshOvkias in film DVD's11:49
_Angelus_yes Lynoure where the power manager?11:49
Lynoure_Angelus_: click on the battery icon11:49
_Angelus_i dont have a battry icon in system settings :/11:49
jussi01JoshOvki: my preference is vlc11:50
Lynoure_Angelus_: it has separate options for Mains powered and battery powered.11:50
Lynoure_Angelus_: tray, not system settings11:50
JoshOvkijussi01, you can burn with VLC?11:50

Lynoure_Angelus_: hmm, then I'm not sure but you could install kde-guidance-powermanager and see what happens11:51
jussi01JoshOvki: ^^11:51
Dr_willisi was using devede earlier today. :) works decently well. the menus it makes are not al that fancy but it works11:52
Lynoure_Angelus_: I have never tried it on desktop, myself11:54
_Angelus_Lynoure: does suspend stand for standby in kubuntu? causei have to options when im logging out, suspend and hibernation11:54
solid_liq_Angelus_, you can set it this way:  sudo echo "runlevel 0" | at now + 4 min11:56
Lynoure_Angelus_: suspend stands for suspend to ram11:56
Lynoure_Angelus_: hibernate is suspend to disk11:56
Lynouresolid_liq: that does not take idle vs active into account11:57
_Angelus_hmm11:58
solid_liqit will11:58
_Angelus_Lynoure: but is suspend to ram and standby mode the same thing?11:58
Lynouresolid_liq: hmm, I don't see how it would.11:59
solid_liqno, standby is suspend to disk11:59
Lynoure_Angelus_: I'm not sure what standby mode you mean...11:59
solid_liqer11:59
_Angelus_Lynoure: well on some distros and windows, there is an option to go to standby mode12:00
Lynoure_Angelus_: Tell me what it does, and I can tell you if it is the same. :)12:00
_Angelus_thats the problem Lynoure, i dont know if its the same12:00
_Angelus_uhmm , did you ever put your television in standby mode?12:01
Lynoure_Angelus_: ok, tell me what you'd want it to do, then :)12:01
_Angelus_i think its similar12:01
Lynoure_Angelus_: no image and still responds to remote... no idea how that would translate to computers12:01
LynoureNever used one with a remote12:02
Lynoure_Angelus_: hibernate writes the situation on the system onto the disk, it takes about as long as boot to recover. suspend to ram writes it to ram, takes couple of seconds to recover.12:03
Lynoure_Angelus_: Staying in hibernation takes no electricity, staying in suspend to ram take a little, as the memory takes some electricity to keep. You can decide which one you want, or even experiment.12:04
Lynoure_Angelus_: on many systems neither work out of the box, so you want to be careful about having files saved when experimenting12:06
_Angelus_Lynoure: both worked here, i just tried them 2mins ago12:06
Lynoure_Angelus_: good :)12:06
_Angelus_Lynoure: windows has standby mode if im not wrong, and even archlinux12:07
_Angelus_not sure dough12:07
Lynoure_Angelus_: I don't use Windows much, nor Archlinux, sorry12:07
Lynoure_Angelus_: but the descriptions of what these do should be enough to let you choose.12:07
_Angelus_i'll just use suspend to ram then12:07
_Angelus_its faster, and saves energy , and components life.12:08
Lynoure_Angelus_: all good reasons12:09
_Angelus_yeah :)12:09

BluesKajdangb, if you intend to dual boot windows/linux , then partition your HDD first with windows first then linux, and linux swap and the end. I recommend using GParted Live CD partition editor. It'simple and effective15:18

BluesKajreivilo78, the Radeon proprietary drivers on gutsy don't work very well . You'll have to uninstall them first in order for the restricted driver to work properly : https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_cat81-inst.html16:05

BluesKajok reivilo78 , follow the uninstall instructions in the URL I posted above, if you're using the proprietary radeon driver16:09
tekteenIs it a hardware or soft modem?16:09
BluesKajreivilo78, then install the restricted driver in 'advanced' ...you'll need to be in admin mode to do so16:10

reivilo78ok16:15
Daisuke_Idoam i not getting through?16:15

reivilo78the open source ones work better16:15

ubotuYou should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users.  (Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.)  The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently.  See also «/msg ubotu Guidelines»19:07

ahmedok does anyony how to display arabic id3 an xmms19:11
draikWhen I try to run some apps, I get "Segmentation Fault (core dumped)". What is this and how do I fix it?19:11
Midtronicdraik: that's a program crashing, and without more info, we probably can't do anything19:12
thoreauputicdraik: it's a segfault - a bug is making it crash19:12
sensaeI just moved from OpenSuSE to Kubuntu because I need better support for restricted drivers / the like. It's working well, but OpenSuSE autodetected my NTFS drives and automounted them, whereas taking a peek at my fstab, Kubuntu didn't. Anyone know the flag for mounting NTFS partitions read-only?19:12
draikMidtronic: What do you need?19:12
Midtronicseg faults are generally in the program though, if you can replicate it you should send a bug report to the authors19:12
Midtronicdraik: app name, core dump, any errors that the program may spit out before it dies19:12

ahmedhi i installed kalmAV i want to enaple autoscan it say u need to load ,odel dazuko when i said ok load i get the message u can not load dazuko successfull19:14
thoreauputicdraik: to get a decent trace though, you would need an unstripped binary :)19:14
Midtronicdraik: I don't know the program, but maybe see if it has a verbose output mode19:14
draikMidtronic: Uplink is a game. I don't think I have many options with it.19:15
thoreauputicdraik: if it's proprietary, you probably have no recourse but to complain to the supplier ;)19:15
sensaeArgh, the NTFS partitions are marked as in use. I guess I didn't get a clean shut down in Windows. BRB19:15

tzangerquick question.  I am trying to uninstall toshutils and toshset packages (my laptop can't use them) -- so sudo apt-get remove toshset toshutils.  apt tells me it's going to also remove kubuntu-desktop, powermanagement-interface and acpi-support.  I'm 99% certain I want those other packages... what's going on?19:16
kadamI just did an adept update, and it says there's a new distro version available.  I'm using gutsy 7.10; what would this upgrade be?19:16
thoreauputicdraik: reinstalling stuff in linux really doesn't change anything19:17
SlimeyPetetzanger: you do want them. Kubuntu-desktop is marked as depending on the things you are trying to remove.19:17
tzangerit's the toshset package that's doing it19:17
tzangerSlimeyPete: weird, why would kubuntu-desktop depend on toshset?19:17
SlimeyPetetzanger: dunno... kubuntu-desktop dependson tonnes of stuff without any apparent reason19:17
thoreauputicdraik: unless it's a config problem, but then you would need to purge the config, and in any case it would be fixable with an editor19:18
tzangerSlimeyPete: ok, I will leave it the hell alone then :-)  thank you :-)19:18
SlimeyPeteseems like a silly way to do things, to me, but I guess thekubuntu devs have their reasons.19:18

SlimeyPetehi.19:18
draikthoreauputic: Ok. Good to know.19:18
Mediapiratehi gizkaguy19:19
kadamif I have 7.10, why would adept ask me to upgrade to 7.10?19:19
draikI think there may be a deeper issue, though, because Kaffeine doesn't respond too well as a user; kdesu makes it respond a bit better. As a user, it lags and crashes. Would there be an underlying issue here?19:19
gizkaguykadam: did you install kubuntu as 7.10 or upgrade?19:20
MediapirateAnyone know a good program to extract rars in linux?19:20
draikMediapirate: unrar19:20
Midtronicdraik: my immediate guess is that there's some permissions issues... normal user can't get stuff that root can19:21
kadamgizkaguy: as 7.10.  It actually went through a unch of stuff and said I was already up to date 8)  Scared me for a sec,tho...19:21

SlimeyPeteok for personal use, but don't rely on them for important work19:25

scott25ScorpKing: so i need to buy a new hard drive... but it is possible that something else could be messed23:09
ScorpKingscott25: you can reset the bios settings to the defaults and try again. if that doesn't work try 'badblocks /dev/hda' or get a new disk23:10
scott25i have never changed bios settings23:10
ScorpKing!dvd | Manad23:11
ubotuManad: 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 DVDs23:11
scott25would it be possible for something to change it?23:11
kieferDrWillis: Could you take a look at this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54647/ and tell me why it took all that before my wireless would connect?23:11
kiefer(excuse my noob-ish attatude in konsole :] )23:11
ScorpKingscott25: sometimes yes. try another disk and see if it works23:12
Dr_willisI dont do much at all with wireless..23:12
kieferOhk lol23:12
Manadthanks scorp, but those are the instructions I followed. The first line they tell you to do, sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh  , returns "command not found"23:12
kieferCan someone tell me why it took all this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54647/ before my wireless connected? :)23:12
fyrmedicI just installed 64bit Kubuntu. How do I know that both processors are working?23:12
Dr_willisI think the path to that script has changed recently23:12
=== garic is now known as de4dsnake
Dr_willislocate install-css.sh23:12
Dr_willis/usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh23:12
ManadI did23:13
Dr_willisis where mine is at.23:13
ManadI went there manually23:13
ManadI found the script23:13
Dr_willisdo a sudo bash /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh23:13
Manadand typing "install-css.sh" at the console doesn't work, it gives me the same error.23:13
Dr_willisperhaps23:13
Dr_willisYou need to do ./installwhatever23:13
Dr_willisif in the same dir23:13
scott25ScorpKing: im using this badblocks thing and it is just printing random numbers... what do they mean?23:13
Manadthat worked...23:13
Manadwhat does "bash" do?23:13
Dr_willistells it to run the script. :)23:13
Dr_willisyou really SHOULD be uysing the medibunti repo to install the stuff. Not that script23:14
Manadthe google results don't mention it. I was copying and pasting23:14
sensaescott25: If badblocks is printing random numbers, IIRC it's printing the sectors that are bad23:14
ScorpKingscott25: can you pastebin some of it?23:14
Manadthank you23:14
ScorpKingscott25: nevermind23:14
Dr_willisif the script was not executable , then you need the bash command.23:14
Manad!medibuntu | Manad23:14
ScorpKingscott25: if you didn't run it with the -s switch then it's badblocks like sensae said23:15
scott25ScorpKing: can i do something to fix these sectors that are bad23:15
scott25so far it printer 0 and now its listing the numbers 28 and on (in order), right now it is at 8423:16
Manadit works now :P23:16
sensaescott25: Not really. If there are only one or two then you can get tools that hide those sectors23:16
sensaescott25: So it's printed 28-29-30-.. all the way to 84?23:16
scott25yes and its still going23:17
scott25now it is at 10023:17
Paddy_EIREhey I installed kde4 from this repo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu gutsy main I installed it using 'sudo aptitude install kde4-core'  Is it just me or is this extremely barebones?23:17
ScorpKingscott25: not that i know of. strip the disk (it makes very nice things to put your coffee cup on) an get a new one23:17
JoshOvki!kde423:17
ubotuKDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/ - Support in #kubuntu-kde423:17
sensaescott25: Then all those sectors are bad. That pretty much means that whole section of your drive is bad, which means the entire drive is screwed.23:17
* ScorpKing nods..23:18
Paddy_EIREJoshOvki, that does not explain or answer the question23:18
JoshOvkibut it points you were to get the answer23:18
sensaerofl, I got my mouse situation half fixed23:18
sensaeNow the scroll wheel goes back / forward23:18
ScorpKinghehe23:18
sensaebrb, messing with xorg.conf some more23:19
scott25ScorpKing: is there a certain type of hard drive that i need to buy23:19
Dr_williseither ide or sata - depending on your machine. :)23:19
Dr_willisand of fourse laptops use  the smaller laptop sized ones.23:19
ScorpKingscott25: i've found that seagate last very long for some reason. they also have a three year gurantee i think23:19
scott25well i have never bought a hard drive since i haven't had to... so how do i know if i need ide or sata?23:20
Dr_willisBrand wise. Ive never noticed much of a differance. Ive had different brands die -  Of course in 3 years time i will be on my 3rd pc and have updated the hd's 2x :)23:20
Dr_willislook at the hd you got and the cables its connected to.23:21
sensaescott25: Technically, Maxtor are just rebranded Seagate drives, so they're a good bet too. Personally I've had good luck with Western Digital (I have 3 in my system now that have been going for years) but I've heard mixed things about em23:21
FaiDillinGerhi there23:21
sensaescott25: You need to look inside your computer. If the drive is connected with this kind of cable: http://www.gshop.com.au/images/ide_133_cable.jpg You need IDE23:21
* kiefer is on his way to becoming a BASH expert - hoorah :)23:22
ScorpKingscott25: western digital is good as well ;)23:22
sensaescott: Also known as PATA. If it's connected with this kind of connector http://www.macgurus.com/ccp51/media/images/category/sata/eSATA_TypA_lrg.jpg you need SATA23:22
sensaebrb, restarting X23:22
Dr_willisamazing how cheap HDs are these days  :)23:22
Dr_willismore amazing how fast i fill them up23:23
sensae-sigh-23:23
kieferLmao, I remember buying a PC back in the day with a 500mb Hdd.. DOS used to pwn..23:23
FaiDillinGerhas anyone got a clue on how activating numlock when Xorg starts ??? please ?23:23
sensaeDoes anyone know what command in xorg.conf binds the back / forward buttons?23:23
Dr_willis!numlock23:23
ubotuTo enable Number Lock by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock23:23
FaiDillinGerthx Dr_willis23:24
ScorpKingsensae: i wouldn't go for maxtor. it makes up for 85% of the failed disks i get23:24
* kiefer will brb23:24
Dr_willisi must be the only person that uses the extra mouse buttons for stuff OTHER then forward/back in the browser. :)23:24
sensaeScorpKing: Really? Maxtor are literally Seagate drives. They both come from the same shops.23:24
sensaeDr_willis: What do you use em for?23:25
Dr_willissensae,  grenades and medpacks in games. :)23:25
Dr_willisive never used them for forward/back in any os. heh23:25
Dr_willisactually on windows i got one set for teamspeak chat also.23:25
ScorpKingsensae: i didn't know that. most maxtor drives i see are a lot thinner that seagate so i don't think it's that much the same. ;)23:25
ScorpKingthan*23:25
sensaeDr_willis: lol, well of course. I'm just used to it in Firefox23:26
Dr_willisone wonders wher the parts for the hds come from..23:26
Dr_willisand how these different companies can do that much differently.23:26
kieferDrWillis i couldnt care less, my mate works in a dell warehouse, hehe :) free stuff ftw!23:27
sensaeScorpKing: Well, I may be off about being in the same shops, but that's what I had heard working in a computer shop, and they generally looked exactly the same. I know for a fact Seagate owns Maxtor.23:27
scott25would it be bad to open my computer case while it is on23:27
Dr_willisscott25,  not if you are carefull.23:27
kieferscott25: yes it would be bad :)23:27
sensaescott25: You just have to be very careful23:27
Dr_willisBut if its never been open befor.. i would power down. and UNPLUG it from the wall23:27
kieferscott25: always remember to wear a static electricity bracelet when opening a PC :)23:27
Dr_willisif its never ever been opened befor.. you proberly are due for a good dusting out also.23:28
SlimeyPeteI know people who run PCs with the case permanently open23:28
sensaescott25: If in doubt of yourself, turn it off23:28
SlimeyPetethey tend to wind up full of biscuit crumbs and tobacco23:28
scott25well if i randomly disconnect you will know i wasn't careful enough23:28
Dr_willisI find dead flys and moths in mine. :)23:28
kieferSlimeyPete: my desktop hasnt had its case on it since the day i got it lol23:28
sensaekiefer: I've never found an absolute need for an anti-static wristband. You just have to ground yourself on the case first23:28
ScorpKingsensae: well, that's just my opinion. i still work in a computer shop ;)23:28
kiefersensae: true, i got one for free, so i wear ir anyway lol23:29
SlimeyPeteyeah, no need for a bracelet, just touch the case.23:29
kieferit*23:29
Dr_willisstick your tounge to the power supply for 20 sec! :)23:29
kiefer...at a M$ convention believe it or not..23:29
kieferLMFAO23:29
sensaekiefer: If I had one I got for free I'd wear it23:29
mefisto__this is driving me nuts. what determines the kdm login screen resolution? I've edited xorg.conf to only have 1280x1024, but kdm still displays at 1024x76823:29
kieferSensae: Hehe, Yup :)23:30
Dr_willismefisto__,  you did restart the X server after changing that file?23:30
Dr_willisalt-ctrl-backspace23:30
mefisto__of course. I even did a full reboot23:30
Dr_willisstand on your head while rebooting? ;)23:30
sensaeSo, does anyone know how I can change what mouse buttons do back / forward?23:30
ScorpKingmefisto__: in /boot/grub/menu.lst there's a kernel option vga=xxx that you can change that i think23:30
ScorpKingsensae: i've seen mounse button config options on google when i searched for the settings of a ten button mouse once23:31
ScorpKingmouse*23:31
kieferDrWillis: ive found standing on my head solves nothing.. except for what my pc looks like upside down :)23:32
mefisto__ScorpKing: and it would be vga=1280 1024 ?23:32
=== Warrior is now known as Warrior86|Away
ScorpKingmefisto__: one sec. i might have bookmarked the link23:33
scott25the hard drive is maxtor... does that tell me which type i need to buy23:33
ScorpKingscott25: now you know why it doesn't work anymore ;)23:33
scott25but it doesnt tell me if it is ide or sata23:34
* kiefer will bbs, (Need to goto uni office to pay some fee's tee-hee)23:35
ScorpKingscott25: ide will be a 40pin connection and sata a thin red or black connection23:35
scott25can i unplug it while in livecd23:35
matissecrimsun: "Audacity doesn't support PulseAudio, nor Esound for the moment. You'll have to kill pulseaudio before you use this application."   this cant be the solution ...23:35
PsycoshotHey, Kubuntu has problems detecting my Logitech USB headset. Does anyone know why?23:36

FaiDillinGeryo. i got an external usb harddrive that is constantely pluged in to my computer. but it is not mounted automatically when i boot kubuntu. (the auto option is set in fstab). anyone got a clue on how to solve this problem ? thx23:37
sensaeYes! I got my mouse working23:37
ScorpKing:) hehe23:37
sensaethe only thing wrong is that when I middle lcick it will load random URLs instead of giving me a scrolling orb23:37
scott25i guess i will turn off my computer and take it out and ill come back here on a laptop if i can't figure out the type23:38
ScorpKingi have to go. the weather is getting bad and i don't feel like having my box struck by lightning. nite guys. have fun23:38
FaiDillinGergood nite23:38
matissecrimsun: thanks for the help, but at the moment I won't try pulseaudio. it really has nice feature, but "never change a running system" :-) Would be to much patchwork I think23:41
sensaeDoes anyone know how I can change what my middle mouse button -does- in Firefox?23:41
matissesensae: it was possible to choose, but now in Vers. 2.x it isn't possible23:44
sensaeArgh23:44
matissesensae: but you can change the behavior in about:config23:44
matissesearch for "middlemouse"23:44
sensaeAh, that should work. Thanks23:44
sensaeFor some reason it redirects to a different page, it's rather random and I'm not sure wtf it thinks it's doing, lol23:44
matisseabout:config redirects you ?23:45
sensaeNo, middle mouse23:45
matisseahh23:45
matissei know23:45
sensaeI'm not sure what it does. Right now middle mouse goes to bash.org, lol23:45
matisseit does a google lucky search with your clipboard content23:46
sensaeAhh23:46
sensaemiddlemouse.contentLoadURL is what controls it23:46
matissechange middlemouse.contentLoadURL23:46
matisseright23:46
sensaeIs there any way to set it so I get a scroll ball?23:46
matisselike in Iexplore ?23:47
matisse:-)23:47
sensaeYes, and in Firefox on Windows23:47
Mach3I finally got the official nvidia driver installed on my system (thanks to envy), now i want to try out some of these "desktop effects" that i should be able to use now.   How do I actually get the effects to work? I see a config utility for them, and under the "Actions" tab there are lots of keyboard shortcuts, but none of these work.  What needs to be done?23:47
matissei dont think that its possible23:47
sensaeBah, I was afraid of that. Oh well, I can live without it I guess23:47
mefisto__sensae: in preferences, advanced, general tab > "use autoscrolling23:47
matissecool23:48
sensaeThanks much, that works.23:48
