It won't work when I am in KDE, but it will work when I an in gnome [00:50] My keyboard is having problems. It won't work when I am in KDE, but it will work when I an in gnome. is there a way to fix that? [00:50] Farnesk, can you get into the console with the rescue mode? [00:50] Tann, thats very odd. [00:51] Tann, try some other window manager? Like icewm, or xfce see if it works there? Does it work in the KDM login screen? [00:51] 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] Dr_willis: slow keys [00:51] btw ff has crashed and it wont start again so i dont actually have a working browser atm [00:51] Dr_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] xen_: try killing the ff processes [00:52] no, its not running [00:52] Dr_willis: I don't use KDM as my default WM [00:52] the process or anything [00:52] its just dead lol [00:52] but, im not worried about that, i just would like to use konquer, but it wont connect to the net :S [00:53] anyone? :S [00:54] is there something i should be enabling in Konqurer to browse? [00:54] Not that i know of. [00:54] so http://google.com just does what exactly? [00:55] An error occurred while loading http://google.com: [00:55] Could not connect to host http://google.com/. [00:56] try http://localhost [00:56] :) sounds almost like a proxy setting is set. [00:56] xen_: you uing knetworkmanager? [00:57] Dr_willis: I don't use KDM as my default WM === u^A_ is now known as u^A [00:57] this 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] Tann what do you need ? [00:57] Tann, kdm isent a wm ;) its a login manager. Does the keybaord work in the console? alt-ctrl-f1 ? [00:58] 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 anyhow [00:58] Dr_willis he may need to reset the keyboard alt+sysRQ+r [00:58] norsednaekim not using knetworkmanager btw [00:58] Dr_willis sorry if that's off base. i just got here. [00:59] intelikey, im vague on his exact issues also. keyboard dont work in kde, but it does in gnome is the Gist of it all. [01:00] Dr_willis hmmm ok that sounds like a misconfigured kde i18 or something possably need to set his language again ? [01:00] Dr_willis i tried the localhost, but it says it cant connect to that either [01:00] i have konquere set to connect to net directly [01:01] and am not using a proxy [01:01] but still doesnt connect :S [01:01] try making a new user. see if it works for them. [01:01] xen_: ok [01:02] I dont use Konqueror as a web browser. So cant really say what may be wrong. [01:02] i 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 that [01:02] yup [01:02] one problem, i dont have a working browser lol === u^A is now known as u^A_ [01:02] my system crashed earlier on today, ever since that firefox doesnt work anymore [01:03] and theres no firefox process to kill either [01:03] xen_ ummm well maybe one of us can find you a url and you can wget the page and read it locally [01:03] yup, tyvm [01:03] sudo apt-get install opera [01:03] :) [01:03] then crash it! [01:03] lol [01:03] seems to be my luck today [01:03] i dont like opera so much though, i cant find a good adblock plugin or anything [01:03] though i havent really had a good look as yet [01:04] <|Tann|> Dr_willis: Yes, the keyboard works in the terminal [01:04] i use so many extensions for firefox :) i cant stand any other browsers [01:04] yeah i love firefox, but it just doesnt work anymore :S [01:04] even after reinstalling it and everything [01:04] no crash log about it either :S [01:04] |Tann|, --> that sounds like a misconfigured kde i18 or something possably need to set his language again ? [01:05] <|Tann|> Dr_willis: How would I go about doing that? [01:05] no idea :) I just use english [01:06] I would guess in the settings menu, some keyboard setting tool. [01:06] how can i update to gutsy gibbon from feisty? [01:06] system settings -> region/language perhaps |Tann| [01:07] !update | mixed [01:07] mixed: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [01:07] Dr. Willis, thank you [01:08] <|Tann|> Dr_willis: k [01:08] Upgrading to The Next release right now. :) lets see how Hardy does. heh [01:08] Dr. Willis, how do I update feisty using command line? [01:09] that guide disent say so? I just ran update-manager -d here. [01:09] Which i think is the 'proper' way. apt-get dist-update i think MAY not get all the stuff correctly [01:09] I rarely upgrade, :) i normally do clean reinstalls. [01:09] Dr. Willis, before I update to gutsy gibbon feisty needs to be updated. How do I update feisty? [01:10] Dr. Willis, I have a spanking brand new installation of feisty, I just installed it a few days ago, didnt realized it was so old [01:10] 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 problems [01:11] Given the total disaster ive seen with windows and their upgrades...... :) [01:11] Of course with windows a reinstall is a 'fix' for broken systems. So its all relative. [01:11] Often its the users installing 3rd party apps, or using tools like envy/automatix/so forth that cause the upgrade issues. [01:12] correct! and the things that are wrong with redmond isn't a defficiency, it's a "feature" [01:12] I always do a clean reinstall - since that way i know what the other 'users' are starting with - from a tech support point of view [01:12] Dr. Willis, sorry for all the noob questions, I am still not familiar with the utilities in ubuntu, I used to use SuSE [01:12] 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 problem [01:13] Dr_willis: That didn't work [01:13] most of the upgrade issues ive seen are from the nvidia/ati , and wireless, and other drivers also. [01:14] every 6 mo with a new release the channel is full of upgrade-issues :) then it calms down. [01:18] xen_ 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. [01:20] i guess i posted that just a little too late [01:24] Hmm.. Update manager - 'there are 995 packages to be upgraded' :) Hardy here I come! - Lucky this is a test pc.

[01:58] secleinteer: I was not awareAIM HAD video chate [01:58] AFAIK, it is not [01:58] MSN video chat works though [01:58] nosrednaekim: it does [01:58] but i guess msn would work [01:59] secleinteer: ask in #kopete [01:59] nosrednaekim: i asked there too ;p [01:59] ok :) [01:59] in kde3 yes u should be able to [01:59] well, web cam, not audio [02:02] question, I just tossed on a copy of kubuntu 8 alpha 4 [02:02] is there a known bug in the libpython [02:03] huhlig: #ubuntu+1 [02:03] ahh thank you [02:10] can somebody help, my problem is that my kde is laggy...? [02:13] hexch, what are you system specs? [02:14] you mean hw? [02:14] hexch, yeah. Processor, graphics card, RAM, etc [02:15] amd x2 6000+, 3gb ram, nvidia 8600gt [02:15] hexch, it definitely should not be laggy. It should be smooth. Has this always been an issue or just recently? [02:16] well i used ubuntu before worked fine, just gut kubuntu this week [02:16] did i hear that kde4 with some affects is always laggy ? [02:16] hexch, which nvidia driver are you using? [02:17] let me check [02:18] nvidia [02:18] hexch, so the proprietary nvidia driver? [02:18] well the system automaticly loaded the driver [02:18] Hi, with kde, how do i setup vnc so that i can connect to the existing session? [02:18] what should I change it to ? [02:19] hey guys, how would I check information like if any windows managing system is installed (kde, gnome) [02:19] hexch, 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? [02:20] I am running a server and I want to VNC into it, but I dunno if it has KDE or Gnome installed [02:20] Driver "kbd" [02:20] Driver "mouse" [02:20] Driver "wacom" [02:20] Driver "wacom" [02:20] Driver "wacom" [02:20] Driver "nvidia" [02:20] internat85- K Menu -> Internet -> Krfb -> Configure -> Allow Uninvited Connections [02:21] internat85- though you way want to also look into using a VNC server that has SSL support [02:21] hexch, okay. Fair enough. That is rather strange that things are laggy. [02:21] does it always run on display 0? [02:21] what are console ways to change screen resolution? [02:21] internat85- if you enable it from the Krfb settings, yeah [02:21] I think so to :( [02:22] hexch, you can try disabling effects like transparency, etc, if they are turned on. [02:23] Hardy 4 has a bug in changing screen resolution. i have to use a console way [02:23] like XFdrake? [02:23] yao_ziyuan, hardy support in #ubuntu+1 [02:23] i know [02:23] ok i try that [02:23] thres a dpkg-reconfigure SOMTHING command [02:23] :) [02:23] or you an manyally edit the xorg.conf [02:23] but this is a general question: how to change screen resolution in console? [02:23] You can try manually editing your xorg.conf or you can do: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:23] !fixres [02:23] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[02:34] mixed, k3b can burn an ISO image [02:35] k3b works on gnome as well, right? im going to have to install it [02:36] mixed, if you need support for Ubuntu, ask in #ubuntu. This is for Kubuntu and KDE [02:37] NickPresta, sorry, I usually use kubuntu, I installed feisty in this lappie from an old CD I thought had kubuntu [02:38] mixed, ah okay. gnomebaker is for the GNOME desktop. [02:39] NickPresta, I'm going to reinstall gutsy then ubuntustudio and then off course kubuntu [03:02] what should i use to watch a dvd?

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] did they replace the os as well ? or was that your doing ? [03:18] i would really like some empirical evidence for "nvidia screws up linux every time" [03:18] what do you mean [03:18] it comes with vista [03:18] nVidia hasn't screwed up my system yet [03:18] because, you know, it really sounds like you're talking out of your rear end with that statement [03:19] Dragnslcr: nor mine [03:19] oh, sorry, i was talking out of my ass [03:19] Darkrift412 oh yeah you did mention "HD" sorry i overlooked that one. [03:19] please excuse me [03:19] X only started "X" :( kdm doesn't do anything [03:19] it will never happen again comment nazi's [03:19] ugh. [03:19] just remember that absolute statements generally aren't === matrii is now known as fideas [03:20] ooooh, you just made one [03:20] and just because *you* have an issue with it doesn't mean it's "teh sux0rz" [03:20] evenin' folks, if I were looking to dl some torrents, what program do you guru's recommend? for ubuntu.. [03:20] no i didn't. i said "generally" [03:20] you are generalizing [03:20] o_- KTorrent worked well for me when I used it [03:20] but i'm not stating it as absolute truth [03:21] ktorrent?..thanks [03:21] * Darkrift412 writes a script to add -generally to the end of every sentance he types so as to not piss off the comment nazi's again [03:21] ktorrent is your best bet for a qt-based client [03:21] Darkrift412: stop trolling [03:21] thats 2 for ktorrent :) TY [03:22] I use ktorrent all the time. [03:22] that's three :) [03:22] 3..! [03:22] o_, make that 3 for KTorrent. *Is using it right now* [03:22] four! [03:22] wine utorrent.exe [03:22] :) [03:22] Darkrift412 careful. you'll get the language nazi's after you too... [03:22] i use ktorrent all the time - generally [03:22] Darkrift412: again, stop trolling. [03:22] :) [03:22] thanks guys.. [03:23] I'll prolly be back :P [03:23] pretty new at this :) [03:23] how about if you arent offering usefull help, you just dont reply?

[03:24] i did have a question [03:24] never got a reply [03:24] someone got me stuck on another topic [03:24] okay, what was the question? [03:24] over a simple comment that i made without sitting for 2 minutes thinking about it first [03:24] anyone know if 7.10 has built in drivers for the bcm43xx wifi card? [03:25] one normally uses the fwcutter tools for the bcm cards to download the proper files/drivers [03:25] thats what i was afraid of [03:25] Darkrift412, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDriver%29 [03:25] ouch... afaik, broadcom support is still not built in, *but* the... what the good doctor said [03:25] is it a mini-pci wifi card? [03:25] yup [03:26] dell card in a compaq laptop [03:26] Some of the cards require different drivers also. depending on the exact chipset [03:26] with a broadcom chipset.... [03:26] broadcom makes a lot of chipsets. [03:26] i wonder if gateway designed the carbon that the chipset is made out of :S [03:27] i remember a 2-3 week fight to get my wifi working last time [03:27] without 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 time [03:27] what's an opensource wifi chip ? or are there any? [03:27] With 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 work [03:28] ralink is probably the closest [03:28] intel has great support as well [03:28] ralink is the best, by far [03:28] atheros isn't as great, but isn't bad by any means [03:28] ralink k. [03:28] i *found* a mini-pci g card on newegg for $32 [03:28] however, i don't know the chipset... yet [03:28] hrmmmmm [03:29] im about to get a belkin usb stick wifi card and try that out [03:29] oooh [03:29] it's atheros [03:29] or better yet, illl look into those dlink media center wireless hubs [03:29] madwifi to the rescue! [03:30] wow [03:31] 'ello huhlig [03:31] Can 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] I just tried both hardy and gutsy and neither work [03:31] hardy isn't for general use yet [03:31] !doesn't work | huhlig [03:31] huhlig: 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. [03:32] ubotu, ok, when it switched graphics mode the screen goes black and never comes back [03:32] switching to a console doesnt work [03:32] huhlig, did you try booting in safe graphics mode? [03:32] yep [03:32] same black screen [03:32] safe mode worked in hardy [03:32] huhlig, which graphics card? [03:33] nvidia FX 360M [03:33] quadra [03:34] NickPresta, any ideas? [03:35] Kubuntu: Dolphin: "hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000": Seagate FreeAgent Drive (external hardrive). How much simpler can I make it!? [03:36] I just want to be able to access my data1 [03:36] the 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 fine [03:37] odd that console doesnt work though [03:37] console shouldnt care about your display drivers [03:37] again, he just said "Doesn't work". I don't know what that means :) [03:39] ok, I finally got myself to a console [03:39] AMcBain, install the ntfs-config tool, run it. check the enable check boxs - worked for me. [03:39] what copmmand do I need for console installation [03:39] like the old debian installer [03:41] Dr_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] you need the alternate install cd [03:41] huhlig the live cd has no text based install [03:43] Hmm, 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 bar [03:44] Dr_Willis: I got it by hand, creating the folder I wanted it to be on /dev and then mounting it. [03:44] anyway to... hide the bottom bar temporarly so I can change the res ? :) [03:44] But it was rather silly that I even had to do that. [03:44] hello [03:44] so move the window [03:44] alt+click drag [03:45] i need help installing kubuntu 7.10 [03:45] doobeh see if you can drag the window up and resize it from the bottom, normally works for me [03:45] i am in the prepare partitions of the install process [03:45] alt-drag worked, thanks [03:45] and i have already setup an ext3 and swap partition [03:46] i am able to select the ext3 partition but cant select the swap partition [03:46] select it for what [03:47] so that i can set it as the swap [03:47] oh :S [03:47] will kubuntu automatiocally do that? [03:47] is it labeled swap?' [03:47] yes [03:47] then yes [03:47] and i want it to be used as swap [03:47] ok [03:48] i mean, not a drive label [03:48] but in the partitioning util, does it say swap [03:48] yes in the "Type" coloumn [03:48] i havent used the 7.10 installer yet, but in the other versions, thats how it worked [03:48] then you should be good [03:48] i dotn believe it will let you go forward without a swap partition setup properly [03:49] ok thankyou i am continuing with the install :-) [03:49] can you install stuff on the live cd? [03:50] i dont think so the changes will be lost when you reboot [03:50] 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. [03:51] Darkrift412 yes you can install on the live CD if you have the ram for it [03:51] i can deal with that, but i just want to test run the bcm43xx driver installation from a live cd before killing my windows partition [03:51] my problem would be getting the driver installers and stuff to the live cd :S [03:51] unless the livecd can read ntfs nativly [03:52] * intelikey doesn't use swap nor partitions. [03:52] live cd has ntfs read support. [03:53] nice [03:53] ok, how about this.... anyone know how i would find my wifi's chipset in vista? [03:54] Darkrift412: is it a laptop? [03:54] yes [03:54] u know the model number? [03:54] its a bcm43xx, but i need the specific version [03:54] ok [03:54] go to the manufacturer's site [03:54] i would google for that exact make/model laptop and linux. [03:54] compaq v6210us [03:54] they should list it [03:54] Darkrift412 maybe ##windows [03:54] i have, but i find lots of useless/wrong info [03:55] then download a program called everest home (its free) [03:55] it will tell you also [03:55] nice [03:55] i expect it will be broadcom or intel [03:55] ...and i would think that kubuntu will support that [03:56] i know its broadcom 43xx [03:58] PCI/AGP 14E4-4311: Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN [NoDB] [03:58] does that mean its the 4311?

[05:34] removable, Agent_bob [05:35] ah ok. usb. sorry. i'm lagging real bad [05:35] problem is that my sym-links don't work unless I get the order right [05:35] no problem, Agent_bob [05:35] anyway I can name the dir created in /media based on device ID or something like that? [05:36] alakhia hmmm what do the links point at ? ls -l /media/disk /media/disk-1 [05:36] I have symlinks like ~/Pictures -> /media/disk/Pictures [05:37] but if the drive that has pictures is mounted first, this works [05:37] otherwise, the drive shows up as /media/disk-1 and my Pictures symlink points to the first drive [05:37] yeah you can't mount on /media/disk/Pictures unless /media/disk is mounted [05:37] which doesn't have the Pictures dir [05:38] I'm not trying to mount another dir within a mounted dir [05:38] i'm basically mounting /media/disk and /media/disk-1 [05:38] the 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] well, in my case, kde is [05:39] no no, the two mountpoints are separate [05:39] the order doesn't matter [05:39] clue_by_four*** a symlink is not a mountpoint. it only points to one. [05:40] right ... the symlinks are in my home dir [05:40] i juse need a consistent way to point my symlinks ... [05:40] ok. again ls -l /media/disk /media/disk-1 [05:41] lets see what is happening? [05:41] right now, my /media/disk has Pictures dir [05:41] and if you hadn't noticed, i'm lagging. [05:41] ok [05:43] wait. i think i see what you are trying to say. and "you can't" a symlink can not point to more than one destination" [05:44] i want the symlink to always point to the same drive [05:44] how do I compile source code that I wrote? [05:44] cpp myfile.cpp something.exe? [05:44] now. 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. [05:45] basically, i want the thumbdrive usb to be /media/thumb ... and my backup drive to be /media/backup [05:45] you dont need to name it .exe :) [05:45] is there a way for the auto mounter to do that? [05:45] alakhia, you could set the thumbdrives label to be thumb? that may let it get automounted to /media/thumb [05:46] how do I set the label? [05:46] Dr_willis: right, but the output of the cpp command should be executable? [05:46] Theres a bit of voodoo magic in how ithe stuff picks names. [05:46] alakhia, depends on its filesystem :) [05:46] it's fat32 [05:46] proberly safest to set its label in wndws if its vfat/ntfs [05:47] hmmm, ok [05:47] It might not even have a Label if its just being called 'disk' [05:47] right ... that's why my symlinks always break [05:47] dick-richardson executable is not determined by name but by permission [05:47] both devices want to be called /media/disk [05:47] You could always set up a specific fstab entry based on label - also. [05:47] or uuid, [05:48] but that overrides the automounting stuff at times. [05:48] hi, what's the channel for kubuntu+1? [05:48] alakhia, try pointing to the drives id, not the drive type [05:48] ie the hardy channel [05:48] yes, like he said, uuid [05:48] the id will always be the same for that device, no matter what else is plugged in [05:48] Agent_bob: yes i know...what I'm saying is that running cpp on my source code results in a compiled binary, correct? [05:48] uuid ... what is that? [05:48] dazza: #ubuntu+1 [05:48] so if you point at that uuid, it will always point at the same drive no matter what [05:48] thanks stdin [05:48] under your mount points, you have devices sorted by uuid [05:49] im not at a *nix box right now, so i cant give more details [05:49] I find the LABEL option looks nicer in fstab then using UUID :) [05:49] but there shoudl be a path that says something about "device by uuid" or something [05:49] !uuid [05:49] To 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] ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid [05:49] is another way to see the uuids [05:50] ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/ [05:50] blkid [05:50] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2008-02-02 16:50 VistaBoot -> ../../sda2 [05:50] check each device and see which one has the uuid you want, and then point your "shortcut" to that uuid path instead of /disk [05:50] shows my disk is label VistaBoot :) [05:50] LABEL=Vistaboot /media/VistaBoot ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 [05:51] is my fstab entry for that. [05:51] OR i could use the UUID=######### /media/VistaBoot ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 [05:51] for example. [05:51] what is the package I'm interested in if I'm trying to get a useful backtrace out of twinkle (a sip softphone for KDE) ? there's the kde debug info, but I forget what the name of the packages are that provide that [05:52] fstab for usb drives tho [05:54] Dr_willis will that fstab line mount when you plug in the device ? [05:56] Hi everybody,my computer keeps hanging..and I discovered that my craphic card temprature becomes too high so it hangs...so any ideas [05:57] Hello People [05:58] ahhhh, thanks Dr_willis ... I'll try /dev/disk/by-uuid [06:00] hi Dr_willis, [06:00] anybody who can help me with cedega? [06:00] Agent_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] at least thats how it seems to work. :) === sam64 is now known as Goop2 [06:01] Dr_willis hmmmm ok. so they have a kio calling a mount command now ? nice (if you like that kind of thing) [06:01] its been in there for ages. I think. [06:02] I'm having an audio problem.. it sounds like there's way too much gain or something [06:02] well i probably never noticed it because users can't mount here... [06:02] Goop2 alsamixer adjust it ? [06:03] I would, but I have no idea what to adjust === Hilary_ is now known as Hilary === Hilary is now known as huhlig [06:03] what is the command for closing the x server please [06:04] ? [06:04] input gain? mic ? line in ? recording level ? [06:04] ahmos sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop [06:04] output [06:04] tahnks [06:04] thanks [06:04] ahmos, rstart the kdm service or hit alt-ctrl-backspace to kill it NOW. :) [06:05] ok [06:05] Agent_bob: I muted all 3D sound, and anything else just affects the volume itself [06:05] alt-ctrl-backspace != command for closing the x server [06:06] Goop2 you do see there is both "input" and "output" settings? [06:06] Agent_bob: yeah [06:06] k [06:07] so use the app you are using to record and turn down the recording volume [06:07] that isn't even on [06:07] actually turning down PCM helped [06:08] it had a huge effect on the volume, but it got rid of the gain sound [06:10] it wasn't input I was having trouble with [06:11] my output was buzzy [06:11] I have a weird error, when I click on my kde panel I get a "Malformed URL. system:/" error any ideas? [06:11] what is the package I'm interested in if I'm trying to get a useful backtrace out of twinkle (a sip softphone for KDE) ? there's the kde debug info, but I forget what the name of the packages are that provide that [06:26] tzanger you could try searching in a package-manager apt-cache search bug or debug or what ever...

[06:31] that isn't remotely close.. [06:31] Agent_bob: yes, but someone had told me about a "secret" repository that had debug packages for WAY more packages than what normally showed up... I can't remember what the heck that was though [06:31] tzanger: It doesn't appear that there is a package with the debug symbols for twinkle [06:48] you ppl in here? [06:50] we are [06:50] Well, I am :) === kiefer_ is now known as kiefer === kiefer is now known as kiefer_ [06:51] hey kiefer_ [06:51] Hello :) [06:51] good to see you on again [06:51] Haha, always on [06:53] haha.... nice! [06:53] Lol, Ty [06:54] kiefer_: so did you get whatever problem it was sorted out? [06:54] I had lots of problems/questions, most got sorted [06:54] kiefer_: did you get the one you asked me about sorted out? i cant remember for the life of me what it was [06:55] Any 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 image [06:56] Okay, 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) [06:57] nixternal, So what are the chances you could point me towards a good list of packages to install for getting KDE4 on Hardy? I saw the gutsy stuff with the special PPA repo but nothing for Hardy === u^A_ is now known as u^A [06:59] how do I set Dolphin to be the default file manager in KDE4? [07:00] how to resize a panel in KDE4? :D [07:01] travkin: http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Projects/Plasma/FAQ#How_can_I_change_the_height_of_the_panel.3F === ani is now known as abattoir [07:01] How do you do anything in something. That's the ultimate question. Solve it and you have the answer to anything. (though I think 42 already takes that cake) [07:03] travkin, How did you get KDE4 installed? With Gutsy PPA or on hardy? [07:07] travkin: you can't until 4.0.2 at the earliest [07:07] without some fairly adventuresome config file changes [07:10] hi. where I can see list of packages of kubuntu. So I see what are latest versions of some I am interested. [07:10] ugh, found a new album with the same name as another. This is getting fairly annoying. [07:10] jmut: packages.ubuntu.com === kiefer__ is now known as kiefer === kiefer is now known as kiefer__ [07:14] kiefer__: mmm.thats lovely. Now only need to find what each name stands for :D . thanks [07:15] Lol, No problem :) [07:21] Can Amarok rip CDs? [07:21] (well, I'm pretty sure it can, I just wondered how) [07:22] (exactly what i thought when you asked) [07:22] I'm around enough people that pretend to be literalists that I watch out for it too [07:24] Hi,I need a little help for choosing wich nvidia driver I should Install(X.org legacy driver,x.org driver,x.org new driver) I have geforce 7300 LE [07:25] AMcBain: It definetly can.. By means of the kio slaves... [07:25] huh? [07:25] Can't remember how you do it exactly... [07:25] AMcBain: Just as you would simply open an audio cd in Konqueror and copy the wav/mp3/ogg files it offers you... [07:26] i dont know i always use k3b [07:26] That works? It never worked under Windows ... (though that could be the OS) [07:26] It always ended up giving me links .. [07:26] AMcBain: KDE >> Windows [07:26] Only one > unless you meant to bit shift ... [07:26] webilder's turned out to be a neat little program [07:27] AMcBain: It works, I have done it, it will start copying and you will notice it's slower than it should be, that's when the encoding takes place [07:27] well i like k3b, cause if i down load say like the new ubuntu, it almost always burns it as an iso. [07:27] where do I go to change the default login image/background? [07:28] anybody help me please!! [07:28] what is wrong ahmos? [07:28] gundam_rx78nt1, did you look in systems? [07:28] ahmos: nvidia-glx-new [07:28] AMcBain: http://docs.kde.org/userguide/audio-cd.html --Not sure if that will be helpfull, IM on wireless so its taking time to load, so I havnt read it [07:28] I need a little help for choosing wich nvidia driver I should Install(X.org legacy driver,x.org driver,x.org new driver) I have geforce 7300 LE [07:28] ahmos: If you have problems with that, just go for nvidia-glx [07:29] ahmos: nvidia-glx-new, like i said a minute ago [07:29] Anyway Im off to watch some good old fashioned TV, Bye all, BBL. [07:29] 7300? install new. [07:29] kiefer: Yeah, I found an article one it, but it wasn't really telling me much, and if I go MilhousePunkRock's approach I can't get mp3s ... [07:29] ol_dude67, I did change it in the kcontrol but it doesn't work. I get the "defaul" login screen and then the image I selected for a split second. [07:29] aha because my graphic card is overheated after a while so that the system hangs [07:29] AMcBain: Lame installed? [07:29] and the audiocd: kioslave is awesome [07:29] ahmos: That's not a driver issue, that's an hardware issue [07:29] I would like to have the image I want as the default background. [07:30] ahmos: that's not a driver issue, that's a "get some forking ventilation" issue [07:30] ok so is there any solution [07:30] oh left click on desktop and go to configure [07:30] yeah [07:30] Ah yes lame. the item nobody can bundle with anything because they don't want to get in any trouble yet it ends up being the most useful ... [07:30] ventilation [07:30] if the card's overheating, it's not an os problem [07:30] AMcBain: you got it :) [07:31] while i like the idea of using free formats like ogg vorbis, i have 177gb of mp3s that say otherwise [07:31] AMcBain: I rip my CDs with the good ol' KaudioCreator though... [07:31] ok thank's pople for help..;) [07:32] kaudiocreator offers the most flexibility [07:32] FunnyLookinHat: on 7.10 - gutsy ppa [07:32] *but* it's still no EAC [07:32] Daisuke_Ido: If my mobile player and my car stereo would play ogg, I would re-rip my ~300 CDs [07:32] FunnyLookinHat: on hardy - hardy ;) [07:32] it's working stable [07:32] Daisuke_Ido: Funny, that's one thing I miss from Windows too [07:32] without any problemz [07:32] just 2 things missing [07:33] cdparanoia just isn't up to par [07:33] hey guys anyone know of any file recover apps ? [07:33] program hotkeys + panel resize [07:33] it's good, don't get me wrong [07:33] but it's not EAC [07:33] Apparently Kaffeine rips CDs but it doesn't recognize that I just installed lame. [07:33] fortunately, EAC works under wine [07:35] * AMcBain wonders where lame really installed, as Kaffeine looks in /usr/lib/codecs [07:35] did you restart kaffeine? [07:35] AMcBain: You did restart Kaffeine after installing lame, did you? [07:36] Daisuke_Ido: Seems like I am a bit faster this morning ;P [07:36] I opened if *after* I isntalled lame [07:36] MilhousePunkRock: that's twice. i'm watching you. [07:36] :P [07:36] AMcBain: now that lame is installed, you can use the audiocd:/ kioslave [07:37] uh ... okay [07:37] Unfortunately system settings do not allow you to specify a bitrate, only a "quality", IIRC [07:37] true [07:37] but if you've noticed, lame has gone to a "quality" based set of presets [07:37] V0 - V8 [07:38] V0 being the former alt-preset-extreme [07:38] Daisuke_Ido: I encode - CBR 192 [07:38] V8 being barely adequate for spoken-work [07:38] APX for me [07:38] Or however that was done, can't remember, been a while since I set it up... [07:39] anyone know of any utilities avaiable that can recover data deleted on fat32 disk? [07:40] how do I change the settings of the taskbar (or whatever it's called in KDE)? [07:40] how do I chang the kdm theme? [07:41] change, sorry it's been a long day. [07:42] Aha! [07:42] mp3's now show up in dolphin [07:42] JoeyJoeJo➜ right click on the tasbar -> configure panel [07:42] !kdmtheme | gundam_rx78nt1 [07:42] gundam_rx78nt1: To customize your !KDM theme, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu - However, see http://subtrnl.homelinux.com/kdmtheme.html for working around bug #132723 (http://tinyurl.com/2prhgc) [07:43] thanks sub[t]rnl [07:44] Dang. I hit the "Dolphin-Tooltip Segfault" error again. [07:44] Seems weird to have a segfault related to a Tooltip. That would be the last thing I would expect to crash an app. [07:45] (yes I can reproduce it, that's why I gave it a name) [07:45] GRRRR I've got that weird bug in KDE 4 that I've seen in Com piz, in which the system tray icons are all opened in their own mini windows... [07:48] does anyone know how to fix the system tray icon bug? [07:49] 1) Get steps to reproduce it 2) Check them again 2a) get someone here to verify 3) Post to "bug repository" [07:49] 2a is optional, I suppose [07:53] Anyone know why i only get 2 desktops when i have it set for 4? [07:54] How can anyone really manage more than 1? Multitasking really doesn't exist. You are only doing one thing at a time. [07:54] at any given time* [07:55] AMcBain: I just hooked up a second screen two days ago... :D [07:55] MilhousePunkRock: URandR [07:56] ever code a website that has multiple files... it clusters up your desktop.. having more than 1 is an easy way to keep the clutter down and easy to switch between the desktops [07:56] Though when it asks you the first time to restart the X-Server ... click no, and restart the PC manually yourself. [07:56] i use to have 2 monitors on my pc but not anymore [07:56] As when it does it, it doesn't quite shut down right,. [07:56] You get a blank screen with a blinky cursor and anything you type does nothing. Kubuntu never restarts. [07:57] So, just do it yourself. Other than that, URandR is a very nice program. [07:57] (oh, and before you try it ... it doesn't show up via apt-get/adept. Use Google, first hit.) [08:01] horray [08:02] ls [08:02] nick__: wrong window :P [08:03] I asked this in #kubuntu-kde4, but no one's there: does anyone know how to get the system tray icons to stop appearing in their own little windows when the desktop effects are enabled? [08:04] People don't usually answer things here or in #kde (etc) unless it's interesting, they are interested or the answer is quick ... so you could be here/there a while and get no reply or just plain ignored :-/ [08:05] heh. thought so. Worth a shot though... === solid_liquid is now known as solid_liq [08:06] I kinda thought people would answer anything on IRC, but then again, I hang out on ##java and almost anything gets a response there, if only a bot spam to rtfm [08:07] * AMcBain wonders why FF's settings are under the "edit" menu ... [08:07] most anyone here will answer your question if they know it, your just around at the wrong time. Most are idle. [08:07] hey guys and gals [08:07] Hey, while I'm thinking about it ... how do I make FF the default browser? [08:07] The linuxdcpp package for Gutsy Gibbon is 0.698, while there has been 1.01 out there quite some time. Is this package no longer maintained? Is there any third party repository with a newer version? [08:08] oh.. i read about this somewhere. its something like debian-default.... [08:08] AMcBain: The always used to b there... The just changed it to extras for the windows version [08:08] AMcBain➜ kcontrol -> kde components -> default applications [08:09] ?? There is no kcontrol [08:09] alt + f2 and type kcontrol [08:09] nevermind. found it under system settings. [08:10] AMcBain, open firefox and set it in preference under edit. [08:10] That doesn't do it. [08:10] I tried that last time. Seems to be broke,. [08:10] ah ok, [08:10] * AMcBain remembers he has to install Thunderbird ... [08:11] sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser [08:11] there it is! [08:13] Oh no! [08:13] AMcBain: sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser [08:13] I can't find my files for Thunderbird ... I know I grabbed them ... [08:13] that'll do it for you... [08:13] AMcBain: thats no good! [08:14] That means I've lost ZILLIONS of e-mails forever., [08:14] How do you explain that to others? Please resend? :P [08:14] hahaha.... ummm... you cant? haha [08:14] running 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? thanks [08:15] val0: run vmware as root? [08:15] sudo then the number [08:15] aka using sudo [08:15] ol_dude67: sudo vmware ####-####? [08:16] no just sudo and the number [08:16] I 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] ol_dude67: in the console? [08:16] ol_dude67: that dont make no sense. it should be something like... sudo vmware-register [08:16] AMcBain: .thunderbird? [08:17] jessie: that's what i am confused about [08:17] well when i installed it i just had to put sudo the number in consol,when it was installing [08:17] jessie: My previous OS was Windows. [08:17] val0: no joke, shouldnt be just the number. [08:17] So it doesn't start with .thunderbird ... [08:17] (iirc) [08:17] :)) [08:17] jessie: i know that i can run config vmware again and enter it there, but i don't remember how to enter in manually [08:17] AMcBain: ohhhh....... hmm... thats not good at all. yeah, i dont know what you could do. try using a file thingy ma jigger.. [08:18] AMcBain, I rebooted and the problem fixed itself [08:18] Ok [08:18] :) [08:18] Oh weird. ls sees some folders I don't. [08:18] I did copy it. [08:18] ls++ [08:18] when google fails... reboot... [08:19] Oh. they show up as red on ls. that's bad. [08:20] Is there anyway to get Linux to see folders with *spaces* in their names!? [08:20] Or at least let me rename them? [08:21] It won't even let me cd there even if I use '' [08:21] AMcBain: i have spaces in em [08:21] ahh..... use the tab [08:21] tab? [08:22] ie, if you have a folder named "Jessie Morris", type in "cd Jessie" click tab... waula! [08:22] AMcBain➜ what makes you think linux doesn't recognize spaces? [08:22] heh.. [08:22] ls shows them in red and won't let me ls or cd there. [08:22] sub[t]rnl, :) lack of experience :) [08:22] And Dolphin won't show them either. [08:22] So by process of elimintation ... [08:23] try a ls -l [08:23] elimination* [08:23] red often means broken links [08:23] in ls at least. :) [08:23] or was that flashing red? i forget. [08:23] ls -l shows them as ??? Which they shouldn't be, as they copied themselves nicely ... [08:23] I gotta find a 'what all the colors in ls mean' web site someday [08:24] shows what as ??>? the owner? [08:24] I think this is a side affect of having to manually mount this .. [08:24] Dr_willis: what does one have to do to get colors on ls? [08:24] ?? for everything. owner , mod etc. [08:24] jessie, its the default.. ls --color can force it. [08:24] ls -l Firefox_wallpaper.png [08:24] -rw-r--r-- 1 willis willis 1047890 2008-01-29 07:50 Firefox_wallpaper.png [08:24] Everything but the name is a ? [08:24] ??? for the mode ? instead of -rw------ ? [08:24] yep [08:24] Thats dont soubnd good. [08:25] hmmm.... not the default on mine. but thats good to know! [08:25] what filesystem are these files on? [08:25] NTFS [08:25] alias ls='ls --color=auto' [08:25] is the default on ubuntu i thought [08:25] I could visit a lab PC and see if they are really there or what-not. [08:25] (all labs are PC, except one or two mac ones somewhere ...) [08:26] Let me go and come back and see where I get. [08:26] thank you! [08:26] If they are truly gone I will be very angry. [08:27] hey, Dr_willis how do i make that alias change perminate? [08:27] * AMcBain runs off to go try his 'experiment'. [08:27] edit your .bashrc or .bash_profile [08:28] i dont seem to have one.... :S [08:28] You can always create one. [08:28] Using a text editor. [08:28] thats weird. [08:28] (nano is installed by default, I think) [08:28] I got a rather complex one by default [08:28] Dr_willis: you're telling me. and yeah, would you pastebin it for my convinence? [08:28] does all sorts of nice things. :) [08:29] haha.... like what? [08:29] How do I change my screen res. ? lol [08:29] reads a .alias_settings file so you just add your alias's there.. sets a nice prompt.. sets other things [08:29] Dr_willis, you know how to install KDE3 from ubuntu? [08:29] hmmmm... sounds quite nice. and im just gonna copy mine over from another user [08:30] * solid_liq waves to Dr_willis [08:30] wow.... much better!

[08:32] You may of just deleted your default ones from your users home dir [08:32] Dr_willis, you mean maybe "kubuntu-desktop" package? [08:32] mixed, proberly :) thats on the Kubuntu faq by the way. :P [08:33] heck install xubuntu-desktop for more fun! :) [08:33] I dont think thers a fluxbuntu-desktop yet.

[08:35] Dr_willis: what does that do? haha [08:36] http://pastebin.com/m7e69b458 [08:36] shows the bytes used in the current dir. [08:36] willis@mint:~(93.644 Mb)$ gedit .bashrc .bash_profile [08:36] thanks! but where do i stick it? /usr/bin? [08:36] for Examplke [08:37] I got a bin in my home dir. You could put it in /bin or /usr/bin if you want [08:37] i got lots of little scripts/tools like that. :) [08:37] start a collection! [08:38] haha... thats awesome! [08:39] Check out the advanced bash scripting guide. and the bash prompt howto for more. [08:39] will do! hey, how would i change it so its recursive? -R? [08:40] you want all subdirs? that may take a lot of cpu time [08:40] whoops... now its butt slow... haha [08:41] Okay, the folders do exist, but now I'm going through the whole "mount causes error" shit agian. [08:41] again* [08:41] AMcBain: what is the exact error? [08:42] Well, it says the directory doesn't exist, while Dolphin says it does, but says "hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000" [08:43] AMcBain: try force mounting it by hand [08:43] I did. I had to do that to override my idiocy at unplugging it from the Windows PC and not removing it nicelty. [08:44] nicely* [08:44] ie, sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 ... [08:44] you did it like that? [08:44] Yep, [08:45] Says /media/sdc1 doesn't exist ... [08:45] which it does ... [08:45] you sure it does? [08:45] AMcBain: ls -l /dev/sd* [08:45] pastebin it [08:45] please [08:46] I know. You wouldn't want that pasted to the channel. [08:46] AMcBain: meh... you never know. people do it all the time! [08:46] http://pastebin.stonekeep.com/1547 [08:48] AMcBain: ok, do "sudo umount /dev/sdc1" [08:48] then, sudo mkdir /media/sdc1 [08:48] mounting straight "sdc" doesn't work ... one sec. [08:48] AMcBain: well, yeah, you have to mount partitions, not disks [08:49] It says it wasn't mounted in the first place ... [08:49] AMcBain: ok, thats fine then. so do the sudo mkdir /media/sdc1 [08:49] done [08:50] Now what? [08:50] AMcBain: alright, now "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /media/sdc1" [08:50] * AMcBain rejoices. [08:50] AMcBain: better? haha [08:50] And my "bad" folder is there now too. [08:51] AMcBain: you may need to use sudo to copy things over. file permissions may be all funky [08:51] Seems to work [08:52] Shows up green under ls [08:52] AMcBain: awesome. glad i could help. btw, that mount command is pretty general [08:52] like, it goes "sudo mount -t "file_sys" "/device/to/mount" "/place/to/mount/to" [08:53] Now 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] AMcBain: it does? hmmm... [08:53] hal-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 mainly [08:54] I tried that. [08:54] But the program installs, and when I run it, I get no window. [08:54] AMcBain: that is quite retarded! [08:54] I can try again. [08:55] sudo ntfs-config [08:55] jessie: yes, well, I'll just have to follow their steps to running the profile manager. [08:55] oh you are talking about Thunderbird [08:57] Oh lovely. The Thunderbird FAQ doesn't have a category about migrating from itself to itself (different platforms or a reinstall) [08:57] Dr_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! [08:58] AMcBain: ok, just take the folder [08:58] and move it to your home dircectory [08:58] rename it to .thunderbird [08:58] Wait ... I do see a thingy for it. [08:59] AMcBain: thats good! [08:59] On their webpage. [09:00] AMcBain: i would guess its something like what i suggested, right? [09:01] Well, sorta. I gotta fix some pathing stuff, as it came from XP ... [09:01] Except the profile.ini checks out ... [09:01] why package should I install to play quicktime movies in FF ?

[09:52] kiefer: I am Googleing at the moment, now that we've narrowed it down to only KNetworkManager [09:53] JoshOvki: Googleing :) [09:53] Josh0viki right now its empty. cos i set it up manualy. been trying all sort of stuff to get the gui configuration to work,, but i gave up.. i dont realy need it. i manage fine in cli :) [09:53] Thecks: Let me know if you find anything. as i wouldnt mind using KNetworkManager again :) [09:53] i just use a script to set up the wifi [09:53] Okay, Now I have a problem lol, Whenever I try to play a .ogg/.mp3/Audio CD, All i get is some sharp feedback, an ear peircing sound, any suggestions?

[09:56] Anyway, you can get it back to auto-config by doing: [09:56] kiefer, if you read what I posted, I have tried to change the theme with kdm theme manager and nothing changes, it stay with the default loging page. [09:57] I believe that it is a bug. [09:57] Now, does anybody here have managed to change the kdm theme? [09:57] On gutsy?

[10:39] I don't think it's a case of the files failing [10:39] As if I kill Amarok restart (sometimes have to do it twice) it will work again [10:39] So maybe it's just Amarok [10:39] But then it never used to either [10:40] Now I can't get it to make the error come up hah [10:40] lol [10:40] sods law [10:40] Yup [10:41] you check the error on amarok's site?

[11:25] wanted to dual boot... [11:25] but i cant .. [11:25] <_Angelus_> guys i have a problem about power saving [11:26] brb [11:26] having 3 partitions allready. make installing a litlte harder also. [11:26] Hey, can I somehow set the viewmode detailed list view add as standard view in konq? [11:26] yea [11:26] You might want to move your apps over to the other drives. to free up a partition. [11:27] <_Angelus_> fwhats the differece beetween suspend and standby and hibernation. and why i only have the option to switch of the monitor in the power saving tab... [11:27] my partitions are ntfs [11:27] brb [11:27] ubuntu_, of course they are. :) linux goes on its own partitions. which are ext3. [11:27] yea [11:27] now i tryed to edit a partition [11:27] the apps one [11:28] it locked at scanning disks... [11:28] :\ [11:28] what locked up? [11:28] ubuntu_: it takes a minute or 2 to scan the disks [11:28] a minute or 2? [11:28] yo [11:28] i think 5 minutes + [11:28] vista can resize ntfs paritions. also. [11:28] i don't have vista [11:28] Xp sp 2 [11:29] <_Angelus_> somebody answers me [11:29] im going to reboot [11:29] brb [11:29] ubuntu_: also, be sure you have defragmented a few times be for partitioning - other wise you may have data loss [11:29] ok [11:29] im gonna reboot brb [11:29] _Angelus_ : Demanding someone to answer you wont make people answer you [11:29] _Angelus_, powersaving can be a very big hassle. thats about all i know about it. :) [11:29] brb [11:29] _Angelus_: whats the problem (as i wasnt here for the question)? [11:32] <_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 . [11:33] <_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 standby [11:34] America needs help: http://youtube.com/watch?v=3MzShg7yXik no pun intended, play it loud. [11:35] _Angelus_ : Unforinutaly kubuntu doesnt support power saving aswell as windblows [11:36] <_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? :? [11:37] it may be due to some kernel differeances that the same power saving features are not enabled [11:38] Josh: Installing vlc now :) [11:38] It is a feature that has never been built into kubuntu. its available in ubuntu [11:38] often powersaving features can be limited depending on the bios features. [11:38] kiefer: cool, took a looktime [11:38] josh: lol, i was wathcing bruce almighty [11:38] watching* [11:38] * Dr_willis is watching Astro Boy... [11:39] oooh nice [11:39] Its... weird in ways. :P [11:39] <_Angelus_> kubuntu has the option to put to computer to standby/suspend/sleep JoshOvki , its from Kmenu > logout > suspend. but what i need is the option to set a timer for it. [11:39] Girls Ahoy - Best anime ever :) [11:39] Not seen that one.. I proberly would get in trouble with the wife for watching that one.

[11:48] i could google this but i would rather get your recommendations. Whats the best program for burning DVD's? [11:49] as in film DVD's [11:49] <_Angelus_> yes Lynoure where the power manager? [11:49] _Angelus_: click on the battery icon [11:49] <_Angelus_> i dont have a battry icon in system settings :/ [11:50] JoshOvki: my preference is vlc [11:50] _Angelus_: it has separate options for Mains powered and battery powered. [11:50] _Angelus_: tray, not system settings [11:50] jussi01, you can burn with VLC? [11:50] <_Angelus_> Lynoure: im not using a laptop [11:50] JoshOvki: oops, sorry, read worng [11:51] jussi01: dont worrie about it. human error an all :P [11:51] !info devede [11:51] devede (source: devede): program to create video DVDs. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 2.13-0.0 (gutsy), package size 741 kB, installed size 1700 kB [11:51] _Angelus_: hmm, then I'm not sure but you could install kde-guidance-powermanager and see what happens [11:51] JoshOvki: ^^ [11:52] i was using devede earlier today. :) works decently well. the menus it makes are not al that fancy but it works [11:54] _Angelus_: I have never tried it on desktop, myself [11:54] <_Angelus_> Lynoure: does suspend stand for standby in kubuntu? causei have to options when im logging out, suspend and hibernation [11:56] _Angelus_, you can set it this way: sudo echo "runlevel 0" | at now + 4 min [11:56] _Angelus_: suspend stands for suspend to ram [11:56] _Angelus_: hibernate is suspend to disk [11:57] solid_liq: that does not take idle vs active into account [11:58] <_Angelus_> hmm [11:58] it will [11:58] <_Angelus_> Lynoure: but is suspend to ram and standby mode the same thing? [11:59] solid_liq: hmm, I don't see how it would. [11:59] no, standby is suspend to disk [11:59] _Angelus_: I'm not sure what standby mode you mean... [11:59] er [12:00] <_Angelus_> Lynoure: well on some distros and windows, there is an option to go to standby mode [12:00] _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 same [12:01] <_Angelus_> uhmm , did you ever put your television in standby mode? [12:01] _Angelus_: ok, tell me what you'd want it to do, then :) [12:01] <_Angelus_> i think its similar [12:01] _Angelus_: no image and still responds to remote... no idea how that would translate to computers [12:02] Never used one with a remote [12:03] _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. [12:04] _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. [12:06] _Angelus_: on many systems neither work out of the box, so you want to be careful about having files saved when experimenting [12:06] <_Angelus_> Lynoure: both worked here, i just tried them 2mins ago [12:06] _Angelus_: good :) [12:07] <_Angelus_> Lynoure: windows has standby mode if im not wrong, and even archlinux [12:07] <_Angelus_> not sure dough [12:07] _Angelus_: I don't use Windows much, nor Archlinux, sorry [12:07] _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 then [12:08] <_Angelus_> its faster, and saves energy , and components life. [12:09] _Angelus_: all good reasons [12:09] <_Angelus_> yeah :) [12:13] is it really that difficult to find a program to burn a film to DVD :S [12:13] K3B? [12:14] JoshOvki: what was wrong with devede? [12:14] tryed it, but something missing, i could go hunting for the missing file but im lazy [12:14] i used that devded program just earlier today. :) [12:14] it dosent 'burn' it makes the dvd iso image ready for you to burn. technically. :P [12:14] Dr_willis: I dont remember, do you need dvd2css for burning dvds? [12:15] jussi01, not tthat i know of. I instgalled a bunch of packages.. so its hard to tell heh. [12:15] jussi01: ive not got 7gb of disk space free for it to make the iso to :P [12:15] JoshOvki, sucks to be you then. :) [12:15] Dr_willis sucks to be me when im trying to burn to DVD anyway [12:15] Free up some space. [12:16] I only got 4gb dvd disks - dual layer is to expensive. [12:16] y as des francais [12:16] ????

[15:18] dangb, 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.

[15:29] depends on the package [15:29] they'll install correctly if that's what you mean [15:29] whether or not they work though... [15:30] at worst they might pull dependencies from debian repos, if you went and added those repos, and that sometimes might mess things up for you.

[17:48] ScorpKing: It's more for the fact that this box often goes places where DHCP isn't available [17:48] oh, ok, i always downloaded it from eclipse.something [17:48] Anyways, it seems to work. I can now get my Workspace files off my ext hdd. [17:49] after I remount it :-/ [17:49] Artimus: so the ip address has to be something else all the time? [17:49] ScorpKing: It's often DHCP.

What is this and how do I fix it? [19:12] draik: that's a program crashing, and without more info, we probably can't do anything [19:12] draik: it's a segfault - a bug is making it crash [19:12] I 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] Midtronic: What do you need? [19:12] seg faults are generally in the program though, if you can replicate it you should send a bug report to the authors [19:12] draik: app name, core dump, any errors that the program may spit out before it dies [19:12] thoreauputic: Is there a way of knowing which bug?

I don't think I have many options with it. [19:15] draik: if it's proprietary, you probably have no recourse but to complain to the supplier ;) [19:15] Argh, the NTFS partitions are marked as in use.

[19:16] *shrug* [19:16] quick 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] I 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? [19:17] draik: reinstalling stuff in linux really doesn't change anything [19:17] tzanger: you do want them. Kubuntu-desktop is marked as depending on the things you are trying to remove. [19:17] it's the toshset package that's doing it [19:17] SlimeyPete: weird, why would kubuntu-desktop depend on toshset? [19:17] tzanger: dunno... kubuntu-desktop dependson tonnes of stuff without any apparent reason [19:18] draik: 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 editor [19:18] SlimeyPete: ok, I will leave it the hell alone then :-) thank you :-) [19:18] seems like a silly way to do things, to me, but I guess thekubuntu devs have their reasons. [19:18] hello everyone [19:18] hi. [19:18] thoreauputic: Ok. Good to know. [19:19] hi gizkaguy [19:19] if I have 7.10, why would adept ask me to upgrade to 7.10? [19:19] I 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? [19:20] kadam: did you install kubuntu as 7.10 or upgrade? [19:20] Anyone know a good program to extract rars in linux? [19:20] Mediapirate: unrar [19:21] draik: my immediate guess is that there's some permissions issues... normal user can't get stuff that root can [19:21] gizkaguy: 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] but what they might be... you should look at the logs and see if you can glean anything useful [19:23] bye [19:23] Midtronic: How/where do I begin? [19:24] .. o.o [19:24] How safe / mature are the write drivers for NTFS now? [19:24] reasonably safe. [19:25] ok for personal use, but don't rely on them for important work [19:25] Heh alright, that makes me feel safe using them.

[22:38] yes [22:40] ScorpKing: how do i set hda1 as / and hda2 as /home [22:40] scott25: when you install it [22:40] you tell it to mount hda1 as / and hda2 as /home [22:41] whats better to use, synaptic or adept manager? [22:41] so i dont need to do anything in cfdisk to set its path [22:41] crimsun: seems to be difficult to use... any hints ? [22:41] scott25: correct [22:41] Yeah babe [22:41] yeayea === emonkey-t is now known as emonkey [22:42] matisse: it's not very difficult to use. Make sure you have pavucontrol installed. [22:42] cfdisk dosent set the mount point does it? it just fdisks the partitions, then you tell the installer which one ot use for / and for /home, the installer then formats / and /home [22:43] ok i wrote it... do i have to reboot or can i just go ahead with the installation [22:43] * ScorpKing agrees.. [22:43] crimsun: I first installed pulseaudio. Do I need that too ? [22:43] scott25: just install it now [22:44] cause, it seems to be a port opening service [22:45] matisse: yes, you need pulseaudio [22:46] ScoYoucan also edit /etc/fstab to change after install [22:47] :info pulseaudio [22:48] !info pulseaudio [22:48] pulseaudio (source: pulseaudio): PulseAudio sound server. In component main, is optional. Version 0.9.6-1ubuntu2.1 (gutsy), package size 293 kB, installed size 1028 kB [22:49] Anyone know how I can get my mouse working right? ie Mouse4 and Mouse5 go forward/back and I can middle click and move to scroll? [22:49] how can i get a driver update for Hda-Intel (hv:0)? [22:49] crimsun: do I have to close all progs using output devices, before it can work ? got an error: Connection failed: Connection refused [22:50] smeril, I assume you' [22:50] you'd get an updated kernel source and build it [22:50] why? [22:50] matisse: you need to configure it, at least. e.g., if you plan to use it as a system-wide daemon, you need to enable it, and you need to add your user to the pulse-access group and log out and back in [22:50] !hdaintel | smeril [22:50] smeril: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [22:50] matisse: see /usr/share/doc/pulseaudio/ [22:50] ok, thanks [22:50] thanks [22:51] matisse: of course, you also need to switch all audio apps to use pulseaudio if available/applicable [22:51] i got it working temporarily but it stopped [22:51] For more information see http://pulseaudio.org/ [22:51] README (END) :-) [22:52] matisse: are you on gutsy? [22:52] yes [22:52] NickPresta: i found this - http://linuxcommand.org/script_library.php :D [22:52] matisse: heh, it has been changed for hardy. [22:52] is there a way to have the kmenu list items alphabetically instead of (seemingly) randomly ? (im not using the new v4) === torje is now known as cybrhuman [22:53] Does anyone know how to get all my mouse buttons working? [22:53] depends on the mouse. Theres dozens of guides/howtos on differnt mice [22:53] !mouse [22:53] Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [22:54] ScorpKing: does it usually take a long time to scan and detect the disks during installation [22:55] scott25: it depends on the size of your box [22:55] ok it finally did it, so im guessing i go to manual... then do i check off the format boxes for each of them? [22:56] Alright, thanks Dr_willis [22:56] is there a way to set konqueror or dolphin to sort numbers differently? To make it put 2 before 10 and not opposite. [22:56] Next up. I have a 7.1 sound card, but I'm only getting sound out of one of the jacks. [22:57] ScorpKing: is there a mountpoint for swap or do i just set the type as swap then leave the mount point blank [22:57] scott25: there's no mountpoint for swap [22:57] ScorpKing: do i need to check off format for swap [22:58] scott25: no need [23:01] quit [23:02] New/media:/hda5//paule118-desktop/home/ Folder [23:02] eeeeeeeeeeee [23:02] rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr [23:02] tttttttttttttttttttt [23:03] Media you there [23:03] paule118: don't do that [23:03] oh sorry [23:04] ScorpKing: "The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of IDE1master (hda) failed" it gave me the same error but it went further then last time [23:05] scott25: does dmesg | tail say anything? [23:06] if you are using the whole HD for your Ubuntu install. You can just fdisk the drive and delete ALL the partitions. leaving it all unallocated. and the installer can then partition/format it as needed automaticially [23:06] ScorpKing: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54646/ [23:06] Dr_willis: it fails everytime [23:06] I would fdisk, delete all parittions, reboot, let the installer try again. If that still fails.. well theres something serious going on. [23:07] Dr_willis: see that paste [23:07] I don't even care if I get surround on the jacks. Is there any way to get my system to output audio multiple times on the different jacks? [23:07] looks to me like hda is going bad. [23:07] is my hard drive failing? [23:08] yeah, or the BIOS settings [23:08] hi [23:08] scott25: usually if the disk fails you'll get I/O errors [23:08] I need help playing encrypted DVDs. I tried running the install-css.sh script as people said I should (googled it before coming here), but it says "command not found" [23:09] can anyone tell me what I can do? [23:09] ScorpKing: so i need to buy a new hard drive... but it is possible that something else could be messed [23:10] scott25: 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 disk [23:10] i have never changed bios settings [23:11] !dvd | Manad [23:11] Manad: 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 [23:11] would it be possible for something to change it? [23:11] DrWillis: 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] (excuse my noob-ish attatude in konsole :] ) [23:12] scott25: sometimes yes. try another disk and see if it works [23:12] I dont do much at all with wireless.. [23:12] Ohk lol [23:12] thanks 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] Can someone tell me why it took all this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54647/ before my wireless connected? :) [23:12] I just installed 64bit Kubuntu. How do I know that both processors are working? [23:12] I think the path to that script has changed recently === garic is now known as de4dsnake [23:12] locate install-css.sh [23:12] /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [23:13] I did [23:13] is where mine is at. [23:13] I went there manually [23:13] I found the script [23:13] do a sudo bash /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [23:13] and typing "install-css.sh" at the console doesn't work, it gives me the same error. [23:13] perhaps [23:13] You need to do ./installwhatever [23:13] if in the same dir [23:13] ScorpKing: im using this badblocks thing and it is just printing random numbers... what do they mean? [23:13] that worked... [23:13] what does "bash" do? [23:13] tells it to run the script. :) [23:14] you really SHOULD be uysing the medibunti repo to install the stuff. Not that script [23:14] the google results don't mention it. I was copying and pasting [23:14] scott25: If badblocks is printing random numbers, IIRC it's printing the sectors that are bad [23:14] scott25: can you pastebin some of it? [23:14] thank you [23:14] scott25: nevermind [23:14] if the script was not executable , then you need the bash command. [23:14] !medibuntu | Manad [23:15] scott25: if you didn't run it with the -s switch then it's badblocks like sensae said [23:15] ScorpKing: can i do something to fix these sectors that are bad [23:16] so far it printer 0 and now its listing the numbers 28 and on (in order), right now it is at 84 [23:16] it works now :P [23:16] scott25: Not really. If there are only one or two then you can get tools that hide those sectors [23:16] scott25: So it's printed 28-29-30-.. all the way to 84? [23:17] yes and its still going [23:17] now it is at 100 [23:17] hey 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] scott25: not that i know of. strip the disk (it makes very nice things to put your coffee cup on) an get a new one [23:17] !kde4 [23:17] KDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/ - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 [23:17] scott25: 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. [23:18] * ScorpKing nods.. [23:18] JoshOvki, that does not explain or answer the question [23:18] but it points you were to get the answer [23:18] rofl, I got my mouse situation half fixed [23:18] Now the scroll wheel goes back / forward [23:18] hehe [23:19] brb, messing with xorg.conf some more [23:19] ScorpKing: is there a certain type of hard drive that i need to buy [23:19] either ide or sata - depending on your machine. :) [23:19] and of fourse laptops use the smaller laptop sized ones. [23:19] scott25: i've found that seagate last very long for some reason. they also have a three year gurantee i think [23:20] well 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] Brand 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 :) [23:21] look at the hd you got and the cables its connected to. [23:21] scott25: 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 em [23:21] hi there [23:21] scott25: 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 IDE [23:22] * kiefer is on his way to becoming a BASH expert - hoorah :) [23:22] scott25: western digital is good as well ;) [23:22] scott: 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 SATA [23:22] brb, restarting X [23:22] amazing how cheap HDs are these days :) [23:23] more amazing how fast i fill them up [23:23] -sigh- [23:23] Lmao, I remember buying a PC back in the day with a 500mb Hdd.. DOS used to pwn.. [23:23] has anyone got a clue on how activating numlock when Xorg starts ??? please ? [23:23] Does anyone know what command in xorg.conf binds the back / forward buttons? [23:23] !numlock [23:23] To enable Number Lock by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock [23:24] thx Dr_willis [23:24] sensae: i wouldn't go for maxtor. it makes up for 85% of the failed disks i get [23:24] * kiefer will brb [23:24] i must be the only person that uses the extra mouse buttons for stuff OTHER then forward/back in the browser. :) [23:24] ScorpKing: Really? Maxtor are literally Seagate drives. They both come from the same shops. [23:25] Dr_willis: What do you use em for? [23:25] sensae, grenades and medpacks in games. :) [23:25] ive never used them for forward/back in any os. heh [23:25] actually on windows i got one set for teamspeak chat also. [23:25] sensae: 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] than* [23:26] Dr_willis: lol, well of course. I'm just used to it in Firefox [23:26] one wonders wher the parts for the hds come from.. [23:26] and how these different companies can do that much differently. [23:27] DrWillis i couldnt care less, my mate works in a dell warehouse, hehe :) free stuff ftw! [23:27] ScorpKing: 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] would it be bad to open my computer case while it is on [23:27] scott25, not if you are carefull. [23:27] scott25: yes it would be bad :) [23:27] scott25: You just have to be very careful [23:27] But if its never been open befor.. i would power down. and UNPLUG it from the wall [23:27] scott25: always remember to wear a static electricity bracelet when opening a PC :) [23:28] if its never ever been opened befor.. you proberly are due for a good dusting out also. [23:28] I know people who run PCs with the case permanently open [23:28] scott25: If in doubt of yourself, turn it off [23:28] they tend to wind up full of biscuit crumbs and tobacco [23:28] well if i randomly disconnect you will know i wasn't careful enough [23:28] I find dead flys and moths in mine. :) [23:28] SlimeyPete: my desktop hasnt had its case on it since the day i got it lol [23:28] kiefer: I've never found an absolute need for an anti-static wristband. You just have to ground yourself on the case first [23:28] sensae: well, that's just my opinion. i still work in a computer shop ;) [23:29] sensae: true, i got one for free, so i wear ir anyway lol [23:29] yeah, no need for a bracelet, just touch the case. [23:29] it* [23:29] stick your tounge to the power supply for 20 sec! :) [23:29] ...at a M$ convention believe it or not.. [23:29] LMFAO [23:29] kiefer: If I had one I got for free I'd wear it [23:29] 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 1024x768 [23:30] Sensae: Hehe, Yup :) [23:30] mefisto__, you did restart the X server after changing that file? [23:30] alt-ctrl-backspace [23:30] of course. I even did a full reboot [23:30] stand on your head while rebooting? ;) [23:30] So, does anyone know how I can change what mouse buttons do back / forward? [23:30] mefisto__: in /boot/grub/menu.lst there's a kernel option vga=xxx that you can change that i think [23:31] sensae: i've seen mounse button config options on google when i searched for the settings of a ten button mouse once [23:31] mouse* [23:32] DrWillis: ive found standing on my head solves nothing.. except for what my pc looks like upside down :) [23:32] ScorpKing: and it would be vga=1280 1024 ? === Warrior is now known as Warrior86|Away [23:33] mefisto__: one sec. i might have bookmarked the link [23:33] the hard drive is maxtor... does that tell me which type i need to buy [23:33] scott25: now you know why it doesn't work anymore ;) [23:34] but it doesnt tell me if it is ide or sata [23:35] * kiefer will bbs, (Need to goto uni office to pay some fee's tee-hee) [23:35] scott25: ide will be a 40pin connection and sata a thin red or black connection [23:35] can i unplug it while in livecd [23:35] crimsun: "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 ... [23:36] Hey, Kubuntu has problems detecting my Logitech USB headset. Does anyone know why? [23:36] :-) [23:36] mefisto__: http://wiki.antlinux.com/pmwiki.php?n=HowTos.VgaModes [23:36] thanks ScorpKing [23:36] yw [23:37] scott25: no [23:37] yo. 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 ? thx [23:37] Yes! I got my mouse working [23:37] :) hehe [23:37] the only thing wrong is that when I middle lcick it will load random URLs instead of giving me a scrolling orb [23:38] i 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 type [23:38] i have to go. the weather is getting bad and i don't feel like having my box struck by lightning. nite guys. have fun [23:38] good nite [23:41] crimsun: 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 think [23:41] Does anyone know how I can change what my middle mouse button -does- in Firefox? [23:44] sensae: it was possible to choose, but now in Vers. 2.x it isn't possible [23:44] Argh [23:44] sensae: but you can change the behavior in about:config [23:44] search for "middlemouse" [23:44] Ah, that should work. Thanks [23:44] For some reason it redirects to a different page, it's rather random and I'm not sure wtf it thinks it's doing, lol [23:45] about:config redirects you ? [23:45] No, middle mouse [23:45] ahh [23:45] i know [23:45] I'm not sure what it does. Right now middle mouse goes to bash.org, lol [23:46] it does a google lucky search with your clipboard content [23:46] Ahh [23:46] middlemouse.contentLoadURL is what controls it [23:46] change middlemouse.contentLoadURL [23:46] right [23:46] Is there any way to set it so I get a scroll ball? [23:47] like in Iexplore ? [23:47] :-) [23:47] Yes, and in Firefox on Windows [23:47] I 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] i dont think that its possible [23:47] Bah, I was afraid of that. Oh well, I can live without it I guess [23:47] sensae: in preferences, advanced, general tab > "use autoscrolling [23:48] cool [23:48] Thanks much, that works. [23:54] yay [23:55] I got my BT mouse working on my powerbook in kubuntu :D [23:55] right click!!! [23:56] a bittorrent mouse? awesome [23:56] atomicpotato: no lol [23:57] Bluetooth [23:57] (that was the sound of a joke going over your head :-P) [23:58] nohey mhey man, I've heard worse alright, there are some users that are clue less [23:59] konqueror i s soo slow [23:59] actyually my entire computer is slow running linux [23:59] isays the CPU is running at half all the time [23:59] 700mhz
