[00:00] it could be the search indexing service [00:00] wha! [00:00] turn it offf! [00:00] where can I turn it off [00:00] well, first, take a look at your task list and see what's using it [00:01] no need to be hasty [00:01] ps reports 119 proccesses [00:01] this isnt windows man [00:02] running KDE? hit ctrl + esc [00:03] no search results returned for search [00:03] index [00:03] or service [00:03] whats the proc name [00:04] atomicpotato: whats the proccess naame [00:05] Mreh. I got lazy and fixed my sound by way of an audio splitter XD [00:05] strigi, but why not look for what's actually using CPU cycles? or do you not have a GUI? [00:07] how do i reinstall drivers for my wireless network adapter? [00:07] atomicpotato: its slow, it is something probably kernel related [00:07] or powermanagement related [00:08] hmm [00:08] rkvirani, try using top, it's a console version of taskmanager/whatever [00:08] hrm [00:08] can anyone point me to a good tutorial for setting up wine? [00:08] hmm is there any magic in getting a tun or tap interface working under kubuntu 7.10? I've loaded hte module but openvpn just isn't very happy [00:08] I wonder if its the wifi drivers [00:08] that are slow [00:09] the slowness seeems to be with my network connection only [00:09] acee1234, there's not much to it.. apt-get install wine [00:09] i did that [00:09] but it cant run anything [00:10] explain [00:10] hahaha [00:10] WINE in general can't run anything [00:10] well I guess it would help if I were using sudo :-) [00:10] * tekteen thinks that we have no life. Seeing as the Super Bowl is on [00:10] the fwcutter crap or whatever :D [00:10] atomicpotato: sec im gonna try photoshop and copy the error [00:10] stupid broadcomm [00:10] they suck! [00:10] oh... photoshop... hehe [00:11] you want the latest WINE [00:11] follow the instructions at winehq.org [00:14] Anyone terribly familiar with VMWare? [00:14] tzanger: don't even try to use the kde vpn manager, you've gotta go old school and use pptp-command and some manual hacking. [00:14] sensae: I use workstation daily [00:14] (running it in windows though) [00:14] anyone know what utility I can use to configue wireless? [00:15] jhutchins: oh I wasn't using the vpn manager at all [00:15] invoking openvpn on the commandline [00:15] mixed, knetwork manager works fine. [00:15] tzanger: The other thing I've found is that I often have to try to connect several times before it works. [00:15] jhutchins: hmm it is connecting fine [00:15] I'm trying to install the latest NVidia driver, but it says I need to exit my X session. How can I do this? I tried to kill kwin and Xorg, but to no avail... [00:16] oh well [00:16] I'm trying to get a routed network across this [00:16] stunatra, thanks [00:17] adam: You need to go to a console (ctrl-alt-F1 for instance), then stop dm. [00:17] yw [00:17] adam: /etc/init.d/dm stop [00:17] adam: sudo of course [00:17] jhutchins: Okay, I'll do that, thanks :) [00:17] adam: Pretty sure it's just dm, could possiblly be kdm instead. [00:17] I can add the route, I can ping the other side of the tunnel, but i can't get past it. weird. [00:18] tzanger: possibly the problem is the settings on the far end. [00:19] stunata, is there another utility besides knetwork manager? for some reason knetworkmanager isn't working in my disto [00:20] I'm rather jealous of VMWare Fusion, it's their Mac fork. Apparently you can use bootcamp to dualboot OSX and Windows, and then inside OSX, boot your Windows partition as a VM with DirectX support :/ [00:20] so i noticed the XGL implementation in ubuntu defaults to the pc101 style keyboard mapping..I'm attempting to manually set it to pc105 with this command: setxkbmap -rules xorg -model pc105 -layout us >>> However, I get this error: Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property [00:20] yeah, installed fusion on my mates macbook pro-- pretty nice integration [00:21] I'm searching around for solutions, but nothing seems to work.. it's like it's missing a component. [00:21] I'm sure the dx support will bleed over to the other vm varients sooner or later [00:21] I would love to be able to open my Windows partition as a VM, even without DX support [00:22] it's a bit more tricky if your wanting to use your current windows system (rather then creating the vm machine from scratch) [00:23] get a backup of your computer and restore it into a vm machine [00:23] If you create a VM from scratch, can you get that effect? Being able to open a VM of Windows, or boot into it natively? [00:23] you can open it for sure-- boot into it natively I'm not sure about [00:24] the higher end vm products allow something like that [00:24] gsx server or something? [00:24] <-- terrible memory. [00:24] yeah, but you can run windows in a vm within linux no problem [00:25] The way I've got my machine set up at work is have my main os running (windows in my work case) [00:25] and then just dedicate my second monitor to showing the kubuntu vm machine when I've got it up [00:25] with vmware tools, the mouse transfers fine between both machines and you can drag-drop files to and from easily [00:27] helo, can someone please help me with my wifi network adaptor? [00:28] tyson__: have you tried the restricted drivers manager? [00:28] tyson__: what type is it? [00:30] . [00:31] tekteen: :no. intel pro [00:32] can anyone tell me what this means?

[00:35] ok will do next time [00:35] what is the problem? [00:35] is knetworkmanager started? [00:35] hello... Someone just helped me terminate KDM using /etc/init.d/kdm stop? It worked, I have a follow up question though... [00:36] because im an imaptient and lazy bastard, i told knetworkmanager to not use the wallet anymore (in the hope that it would stop prompting me 4 the password all the time) and well, when i rebooted next time, it didnt work [00:36] tyson__: ok [00:36] keeps returning this error [00:36] i have since re-enabled teh wallet, but that wont start, and the icon in the try for the network manager says manual configuration [00:36] tyson__: ok [00:36] I know the problem [00:36] ok [00:37] Please pastebin the contents of /etc/network/interfaces [00:39] whenever i try to start photoshop with the newest wine i get "Unable to Continue because of a Hardware or System Error." any ideas?

Now my computer boots into CLI, and typing "/etc/init.d/kwin start" says it's already started. Typing "kwin" says "cannot connect to X server". Pressing yields a blank console screen. Does anyone know what's happening or how to fix it?

[00:48] i guess my question is too hard for you guys [00:48] Can you help me with my Amarok? === scott__ is now known as scott25 [00:48] tyson_: nope [00:49] tyson_: lol [00:49] mndo: well, it's in alpha right now, and thus not suitable to use outside of devel and testing..so no one here is really going to lend an ear to your problems..they're expected. [00:49] !ask|killbox [00:49] killbox: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [00:49] mndo: kadam's X doesn't start after he installed a new nvidia driver [00:49] kadam: if that don't work, probaby your X is misconfigured.. [00:49] well, tekteen you da man!!! [00:49] thanks mate [00:49] right as rain now [00:49] np [00:50] kadam: I never had an nvidia myself, so I don't know anything about it precisely... but if the free nv driver worked and you really need a GUI -- by all means sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select the nv driver again. [00:51] once you're done with your essay, you'll have time to mess with the proprietary driver :) [00:51] i think i understand what happened also. somehwere along the line i did something that added the line into interfaces, and so knetmanager took that as my manual configuration. with that line removed, knetman configures it automagically, yes? [00:51] excitatory: i don't it's still in alpha state, but a few days ago was working, maybe someone had the same problem.. i'll ask on devel.. thnx anyway.. [00:51] o.o [00:51] mndo: THank you, but init 5 didn't work... :) [00:51] tyson_: you prob did it through knetmanager === Pici` is now known as Pici [00:51] tyson_: I have had issues with it before [00:52] excitatory: kde 4.0 has been released (which of course doesn't mean it's production quality, but heh :P) [00:52] Ralesk: Hehe, I can always use vi...

[00:54] yeah, that's why I said it's a good suggestion :) [00:55] oh sorry, didn't see it :) [00:55] need help. My Amarok played audio tracks about a day ago, Then it stoped playing audio tracks, so I reinstalled it. Thats when the problem started. [00:56] killbox: it's amarok for kde3? [00:56] I don't know. I am new at KuBuntu. [00:57] amarok in kde3 is amarok [00:57] amarok 2 is kde4 [00:57] Ok. There you have it [00:57] then it's likely so :) could you check whether kaffeine makes any sound? [00:57] tekteen: I did. It seems that it wants a password, however, I am not prompted for one [00:58] draik: ok [00:58] Kaffeine doesn't [00:58] tekteen: Any idea as to how/where I would enter a password? [00:58] draik: I have no idea [00:58] never done it [00:58] I see. in Amarok, tell me what you've set in the Engine settings [00:58] Ok. Thanks.

[01:47] :P [01:47] pre-pong but yes that too [01:47] hehe [01:47] i remember, and i'm not that old, when 25 mhz was considered fast and 100 mhz was considered blinding lol [01:48] better than computers we had slot-cars :) [01:48] and they still used for-loops to delay game timing [01:48] lol [01:49] Is badblocks having an issue, or is my drive probably toasted? [01:49] slot-cars ? [01:49] sensae badblocks takes a long time. [01:50] intelikey: I know it does, but I used the -s flag. It was doing it's thing normally, and now I'm getting scrolling "Buffer I/O error on device hdb, logical block (number)" [01:50] i love old marilyn manson, he was funny [01:51] The numbers are sequential, it looks like sectors. Is that badblock's way of telling me those are bad? [01:51] I'm used to running it without the -s flag, where any output = bad sign === litbang is now known as riefzu [01:53] sensae oh my. sounds like you have found something. could be 1. cable loose (dirty or otherwise not connecting full time) 2. controler on the drive failing. 3. physical defect on the hd 4. a peace of code that is triping an unknown error. (to test for this one you can cat /dev/zero > /dev/hd? and run badblocks again) ***destroies all data *** [01:53] intelikey: what are slot-cars ? [01:54] "we got to ride to the abbey of thelema to the abbey of thelema..." [01:54] xenobius electronic racing cars that use a special "slotted" track [01:54] oh we had those [01:54] cheaper versions [01:54] but we had them :) [01:55] hi, is there some way how to setup adblocking filter in akregator? [01:55] intelikey: do any programming ? [01:56] sensae i stopped using ext3fs after it did that to my hd three times. use ext2 exclusively now and not a problem sense. and for the record, yes i know that everyone will say that that wasn't the problem. but it still happened. [01:57] xenobius only shell scripting [01:57] and that's not programming [01:57] "i don't like the drugs but the drugs like me..i don't like the drugs the drugs the drugs..... norm life baby god is white and unforgiving and we're piss tested and we're praying." [01:58] intelikey: in linux it seems to be a very important thing to know though [01:58] one might say that scripting period isn't programming :P [01:58] write once, interpret anywhere :P [01:58] echo "4id36on596t3787567c5307o275687645de" | tr -d -- [0-9] [01:59] echo "4id36on596t3787 567c5307o275687645de" | tr -d -- [0-9] <<< looks better like that tho [02:00] god i wish i didn't have to be a good decent well behaved sla... i mean citizen of the us and could roll a dubey.. sigh [02:00] intelikey: Hrm. This is very odd. I ran it again without -s, and it listed a single bad sector, and then keeps having I/O errors [02:00] sensae the i/o errors are what i was addressing [02:01] pain in my ass to find my appli :/ [02:01] depends on how anal you want to be in your definition of programming. :) [02:01] :) [02:02] doc heh i guess [02:02] intelikey: Ah. Doing it to /dev/hda comes up clean (so far) and they're on the same IDE channel. Could badblocks be getting I/O errors if the controller on the drive itself is dying? [02:02] define(pain_ass) [02:02] and yes ive seen many a fight over is 'scripting' programing.. and at the most common definition i say yes it is. :) [02:02] sensae yes that was #2 in the list ^ [02:03] if you can 'program' a vcr, then programing a bash shell - is still programing. :0 [02:03] * Dr_willis goes back to work. [02:03] sensae i stopped using ext3fs after it did that to my hd three times. use ext2 exclusively now and not a problem sense. and for the record, yes i know that everyone will say that that wasn't the problem. but it still happened. <<< repost [02:03] while ( define(pain_ass) == TRUE ) { print GRRRRR!; $/ }; [02:03] mixed, who are you? [02:03] intelikey: Ah, didn't see that one. -twitches- Okay, now the drive is clicking. [02:03] Which is very odd, because badblocks isn't turning up anything bad. Maybe it's hdb that's clicking [02:03] hehehe [02:04] * xenobius hugs Dr_willis [02:04] Dr_willis i'll have you to know that bash is not installed here thank you very much :) [02:04] dude do you have any reefer ? since i'm loving you up so much i may as well get something out of it :P [02:04] intelikey, wow.. you are just too leet to be hanging in this channel. :) you should go to #debian :P [02:04] can someone kick mixed please? [02:04] lol [02:04] y0 dawg, newbie Q, what's a pretty strong chm reader in linux world? something I can install via Adept? [02:04] mixed1, its your clone.. You handle it. :) [02:04] - /msg nickserv help [02:05] irc is such a wonderful medium :) [02:05] redear, chm reader? [02:05] someone should make a superset protocal that isn't a proprietary service [02:05] yep [02:05] NickPresta: yep [02:05] sensae you hear a drive "clicking" repetedly ? that sounds like controler failure [02:05] Dr_willis, I turned wireless on, unhooked lan cable, and lost connection to konversation, however my nick didn't get logged out [02:05] Drive clicking is bad. :) i agree [02:06] mixed1, then use the nickserv serices to kill it. or wait for it to time out. [02:06] intelikey: I did for about 30 seconds. I'm badblocking hda and it's still clean so far. I'm thinking the controller on hdb is screwed and that's what was clicking [02:06] "yesterday man I was a Nihilist, now today i'm just a bore" [02:06] Perhaps no chm reader was ever associated w/ 6.06LTS Kubuntu distro? [02:06] does anyone know any self proclaimed nihilists ? :P [02:06] sensae, "nickserv" services?

My main concern is getting the information off the RAID [02:08] intelikey: And hrm.. badblocks says it's running on hda, but the HD activity light is completely dead. [02:08] oh my. and unraid them before you do a cat write.... [02:08] Its fun in an office meeting if someone gets up to go to the bathroom.. everyone moves around...

I finnally found my app : http://stardust.3.free.fr/guest/b4z44r/captur1.png where is the executable ? [02:13] "power management" [02:14] sensae think of it as an amputation and you can see why with i/o (blood gushing every where) the system can't function properly. it's a "first things first" emergency [02:15] Heh yea [02:15] *yeah [02:15] "where is all my i/o going ???" [02:16] MEDIC! [02:16] I unplugged hdb, I'm going to badblocks hda and if it's fine, pull the data off, wipe hdb, run badblocks on it again, and then set the system back up [02:16] good on ya then.

[06:04] I think the bigger bug is not having the ability to *install* it [06:04] the amount of code required to make it work requires that it get tested pretty throughly [06:04] bfrog: not everyones system is the same, and if you want it, just enable -proposed!

[08:27] I'm trying to figure my way around this irc, so I can find help when I need it [08:28] Have you been using ubuntu long, foof? [08:28] ross: not very long, but I've been a linux user for years... what issue are you having with monodevelop? [08:29] I'm trying to use the MySql.NET.dll libraries, and all of the examples are "usinging System.Data"....I can't find System.Data [08:30] sorry, should have been MySql.Data.dll [08:32] ross: hmm.. you can check on the mono website and see if mono has System.Data [08:32] I found the Channel list...that should get me closer to where I need to be.... [08:32] they have a list of all classes there [08:32] ##mono is what you're looking for [08:33] Thanks a lot foof--I appreciate that. I have been digging there... [08:34] I'm having a little trouble digging up the channel list here--I'm really new to irc [08:34] I keep getting 4000+ channels, 0 shown [08:35] ross: the channel list will be huge.. you can usually find which channel you need at the website or just #whatevertopicyouwant [08:35] and about 90% of the time you'll find the channel you need [08:36] Thanks a lot foof--which website are you talking about? [08:37] ross: whatever program you're using, they'll have info about a support channel. [08:37] ok, I think I found it [08:37] foof: Thanks a lot, I think I'm making progress :) [08:38] I am getting really angry with the developers. [08:39] I can't change any of the themes for KDM or the KDE splash themes since I upgraded to gutsy. What gives? [08:39] foof: do you have any opinions as to the *easiest* irc software to use in linux? [08:39] If it isn't broken, then don't fix it! [08:40] gundam_rx78nt1: would we ever see any progress though? [08:40] How can I change the kde splash theme? [08:41] gundam_rx78nt1: not sure....might be in settings...I'm a newbie myself [08:41] ross: not at the expense of usability. If I wanted to be restricted in how I can personalize my desktop enviroment, then I would have stayed with Windows! [08:42] and kept that ugly damn green start button. [08:42] gundam_rx78nt1: I'm recently converted from windows too...I love that I made the move [08:43] I have been using linux for a while. Changed from slackware to red hat to suse to gentoo to kubuntu. [08:43] Everything was wonderful until Gutsy came along. [08:43] gundam_rx78nt1: I switched from windows to Gentoo, installed that a few times, and now I'm hooked on ubuntu [08:44] gundam_rx78nt1: I really like my current installation [08:44] I still like gentoo. As a server, as a desktop I prefer kubuntu.

[08:47] join #mono [08:49] ross: I just like that I set up my server back in Oct '04 and they have been running since then w/o any hitches or problems. [08:49] I can't rebuke that reliability. [08:49] gundam_rx78nt1: no kidding, that is amazing [08:50] gundam_rx78nt1: I give myself a pat on the back if I go a few days without rebooting [08:50] Kubuntu detected every part of my HP DV6400 laptop including the remote control w/o me having to configure anything.

So there might still be some around. [10:03] is this the one libavcodec1d ? [10:03] oh ok....don't worry I wasn't planning on doing anything just wondering [10:04] Mediapirate: (It's even recommended in Freenode's FAQ.) [10:04] does sdc = hd2? [10:04] generally [10:04] scd? [10:04] in the dev folder [10:04] Ok thanks Peng [10:05] ubuntu: that's usually sda/b/c/d for disks [10:05] ubuntu: so sdc will be the secondary master [10:06] so if i have a grub already installed on hd0 and sdc is a removable storage drive, would this be bootable on another machine? [10:06] i can play mp3's but i don't have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed === __rysiek|pl__ is now known as rysiek|pl [10:07] ScorpKing: on Kubuntu you should install kubuntu-restricted-extras [10:07] ubuntu: hd0 means the first disk as far as i know [10:08] so hd2 should be sdc regardless of partitions? [10:08] rysiek|pl: yeah but i'm trying to figure out how i play mp3's if i don't have it installed [10:08] ScorpKing: besides, those are only "metapackages", i.e. they just pull the needed packages (with codecs, flash, etc) from the repo [10:08] ubuntu: yep [10:09] ScorpKing: they don't, by themselves, install the codecs, they just have the packages with codecs in their dependancies [10:09] rysiek|pl: ok i see. so it must be this one then libavcodec1d ? [10:09] so if i put a grub on hd2 (as well as there being one on hd0) will this mess up the boot? [10:09] ScorpKing: possibly, yeah; just aptitude show kubuntu-restricted-extras and look on dependancies [10:10] ubuntu: if you have 2 bootable disks the bios will decide what gets booted first [10:10] great, thanks :) [10:10] rysiek|pl: hehe. i forgot about that one. thanks :) [10:10] ScorpKing: you're welcome :) [10:12] do i need w32codecs as well? once again i don't have it installed but can play anything. :) [10:14] kubuntu-restricted-extras has flash and java as well. hehe. my flash and java is working so i'll rather leave it alone for now [10:15] i need to go work. cheers guys.

Do all ubuntu installations use utf-8 by default? [13:10] remove it. remove it from the cache. perhaps enable a different repository for it. [13:11] could be it was just a bad download that one time. [13:11] you may just need to remove it from the cache [13:11] ok i will try this [13:12] Ramla: see here.. http://files.wmx.ch/upload/jpg/70_snapshot3.jpg [13:12] Ramla: that are files, that i have copied fomr a windows box to my kubuntu [13:13] Yeah, windows doesn't use utf-8 (at least by default) so those filenames are just encoded in a different character set. I think there are conversion tools available if you want to get rid of all broken filenames [13:13] it can't remove it too :D ha ha [13:16] it should be in /var/cache/apt somewhere. You will need root access to remove it. [13:19] good morning folks [13:24] how can I dell dpkg to remove a pagacke even if it`s list is corrupted? [13:24] files list file for package `frostwire' contains empty filename [13:27] noaXess: are these files on a mounted fat32 partition? [13:27] sveri: no. on my ext3 standard kubuntu filesys.. [13:27] the same problem i have.. if i moutn a network share.. [13:28] noaXess: did you copy them from a fat32 partition? [13:28] but in this case i can moutn the share with iso-8859-1 and it worked. [13:28] sveri: from a ntfs.. [13:29] noaXess: i had these problems too, iirc i mounted the partitions with iso-8859-1 option and copied them to my ext partition [13:29] sveri: hm. then.. i need to change to chars.. if i see them.. cause i can't recopy them.. [13:29] i downloaded the source code for a couple of kde packages from ubuntus repositories. kdebase and kdelibs. [13:30] i tried mayn times to build it but there was always some error left to fix. errors that seemed to be inside the packages themselves, not the dependencies [13:31] missing misc files, missing .desktop files, missing Kfoobar.h include files etc etc [13:31] is this something you recognize? [13:32] noaXess: iconv can convert characters in files from iso to utf8 maybe you find something that does the same only for the filenames [13:32] why the firefox frozes when flash is open ? [13:32] sveri: no prob.. i will change manually.. on work :) [13:32] I HAVE THE SAME FRIGGIN PROBLEM [13:33] @VampireKing [13:33] noaXess: *hrhr good solution [13:33] !fffc [13:33] If Firefox is crashing on sites using Flash try adding "export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1" to /etc/firefox/firefoxrc (ref: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/14911 ) [13:33] sveri: :) [13:33] can someone help me to connect @ quakenet?

I've never heard of udatedb :) nice shortcut if there is such a thing tho [15:53] the list is the database that it gets from sources.list [15:53] ForgeAus, it's, sudo updatedb [15:53] hmmm it worked [15:54] ohhh no [15:54] so reset your sources.list to be the default and reupdate it [15:54] it didn`t [15:54] what exactly is wrong dj? [15:54] your finding packages in your list that shouldn't be there? [15:54] ForgeAus, I'm referring to the database not the sources.list [15:54] I have a corrupted packagees, and corrupted dpkg list, and I want to somehow re download all packages [15:55] yeah Blues, but the database is built from the souces in sources.list [15:55] my IDE controler is malfunctioning [15:55] (at least that was my point) [15:55] djdarkman, use synaptic to fix broken pkges [15:55] dj shouldnt u replace the motherboard?

[15:56] the database also includes compiled debs and otherpkges not listed in the source repositories [15:56] but if the ide controller is faulty its going to be a recurring problem [15:56] sigma_1234: yes but it recurs in "just" on or two days [15:57] I just want to tell apt to re download all packagees and reistall them [15:57] hi [15:57] until I`ll have the time to put my machine in for repair this would be a greate help [15:57] you should probably just format [15:57] sigma_1234: done that [15:58] djdarkman,Open adept package manager, On the menu of that screen you will want to click on Adept -> Manage Repositories.

[16:18] like ones where I wouldn't have minded so much if I didn't have a 300mb file downloading in the b/g thats halfway through or something [16:20] I guess I could boot my Kubuntu in a VM and see what output I get running Xserver in there [16:20] but thats not likely going to help since it doesn't use fglxr inside the VM [16:20] does it?

[16:34] Scorp not sure I thought it was the reverse [16:34] ah ok [16:34] Crossover is Wine + extras, so all apps that work in wine work in crossover, + a few more [16:34] (its mostly optimized for Microsoft Office) === _aleksanteri_ is now known as aleksanteri [16:35] not sure what does and doesn't work in it from what works in wine but I'd gather wine is less compatible than crossover [16:35] yep, that's where crossover office comes from then [16:35] plus it's handy that it installs stuff into the kmenu windows icons and all :) [16:36] ScorpKing, good point about w32codecs and kubuntu-restricted-extras...I just assumed noaXess had them installed. [16:36] is there an easy to speed up the scroll wheel? [16:36] ScorpKing, BluesKaj: will try that.. [16:36] BluesKaj: i have another saying about assumptions :P hehe [16:36] alinon I think you can configure it in kcontrol (or system-settings) [16:36] i tried system settings but the scroll wheel isn't listed there [16:36] just up how many lines it scrolls to make it scroll quicker??? [16:37] yes forgeaus [16:37] wow really? hmmm sounds like an oversite to me [16:37] I would have assumed it'd be there [16:37] me too ;) i checked online to confirm others have noticed it's missing too [16:37] alinon I'm sorry I don't know where it is then [16:37] this 1 line crap stinks [16:37] alinon: the option is somewhere. the default is three lines i think [16:38] i'd like 6 please hehe =) [16:38] I must confess I rarely use it [16:38] but I like to have it functional since it can be handy [16:38] yeah ScorpKing , I think i know what the saying is ...I think it begins with "never" :) [16:38] i've spend the passed hour trying to find an answer, this was my last resort [16:38] BluesKaj: i can pm it to you ;) [16:38] *spent [16:39] sure [16:39] alinon is it a version specific thing? [16:39] forgeaus: i'm not sure what you mean by that [16:39] either an earlier KDE or Kubuntu may still have it available but thats a little extreme a solution [16:40] forgeaus: oh yeah i dunno, the 6+ versions i used had trouble using my mouse all together heh [16:40] I'm certain I've seen one in Edgy and probably Feisty too, as for Gutsy or the new one (That starts with H) I don't know... [16:40] hardy heron haha [16:40] what kind of mouse you got? [16:41] standard logitech wireless mouse [16:41] usb? ps2? microsoft? logiech? noname? [16:41] ok logitech wireless seems like it should be ok [16:41] yeah, it's showing up when i do a command to list usb [16:41] * ForgeAus shrugs [16:42] I converted the chm with libchm_bin, but it doesn't look like there's a HTML with the frames [16:42] sounds like just one of those things... I don't really know how to help you [16:42] Schuen did it have content before you converted it? lol [16:42] little things like this is what keeps linux from hitting the main stream - because even the best distro's still can't keep the simple stuff simple haha [16:42] ForgeAus, what do you mean? [16:43] if it was an "empty" chm then of course theres going to be no (or blank) html in the frames [16:43] thank you much for help forgeaus [16:43] but it sounds more likely that the conversion failed [16:44] I don't know much about libchm_bin [16:44] ForgeAus, I mean there isn't a file with the 2 frames, only the contents [16:44] what happens if you click a contents link? [16:45] it opens... [16:45] isn't that waht its supposed to do? [16:45] I'm confused [16:45] sigh... [16:45] heh [16:45] thats how chm's normally work [16:45] it's nice to have the indices in a frame to the left, don't you think? [16:46] you click an index link it shows you the corresponding content [16:46] you don't have any index [16:46] Schuen yeah it'd be nicer [16:46] but the conversion might not be smart enough to set it up in frames [16:47] too bad [16:47] it also generated a lot of non sense files [16:47] if you want taht it shouldn't be too difficult to make one from that HTML file [16:47] I guess so [16:47] guys, is there a way to input a UNICODE char using Alt + NumPad? [16:47] just have a HTML editor copy the contents and link each heading [16:47] into respective frames [16:48] to much work tho uh? [16:48] a program can do that [16:48] in windows there is dunno about linux rys [16:49] heeh Schu a chm glossary would be interesting to convert :) [16:49] ForgeAus: yeah, I know that on windoze it works [16:49] [16:49] BBL , gotta reboot the router ...very slow today for some reason [16:51] Schuenemann: i'm sure i've used a converter for linux before. no idea what it's called though. will see if i can find it on google [16:52] ScorpKing, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-convert-chm-files-to-html-or-pdf-files.html [16:52] it's not exacly important though [16:53] hm.. will take a look anyway. need to convert a few files myself [16:53] how to add an entry to the bot?

But there has to be a better way. [18:20] Firefishe: there is an option to go and install it after you install, but [18:20] g2g591: k. I see, though, that it does come with Dolphin as a file manager? [18:20] Firefishe: it comes with the kde 3x version of Dolphin [18:20] g2g591, file or directory non-existent [18:21] g2g591: I was just kind of wondering...why? [18:21] k i tried again after installing build-essentials.. still no go [18:21] Schuenemann: run ls to make sure it is there [18:21] Why eliminate konqueror as the standard kde file manager? [18:21] I WANT AUDIO!! lol [18:21] g2g591, ls (after sudo -i) has nothing! [18:21] Firefishe: you can make konqueror default easily after you install [18:21] Schuenemann: you need to cd in to the directory again after you sudo -i [18:22] g2g591: I mean, the icon view command didn't even allow me to sort by type or kind [18:22] g2g591, oh, I didn't realize it changed the directory.

[18:55] hemanathan: ok. close knetworkmanager and try again [18:55] ScorpKing, he's able to ping google ..dialup must be connected [18:55] scorpking: how to close knetworkmanager i;m new to linux [18:55] BluesKaj: i use dialup and have the same problem. it took me weeks to figure out [18:56] hemanathan: right click on the network icon in the system tray and select quit [18:57] if i do a dist-upgrade to feisty now... can I resolve my broken packages? [18:57] ok ScorpKing , "dialupking" it is :) [18:57] scorpking: yes it's working thank you very much [18:57] BluesKaj: the problem is that knetworkmanager does not support dialup. there are patches available [18:58] scorpking: i've many doubts regarding linux can you help me [18:58] hemanathan: i can try [18:58] D4RIO, dapper>edgy>feisty>gutsy [18:59] D4RIO: but because you already skiped, i think you're pretty screwed [18:59] when i start kppp and connect it shows as connected at 2 what it means === Pricey is now known as PriceChild [18:59] scorpking: when i start kppp and connect it shows as connected at 2 what it means [19:00] oh yes [19:00] hemanathan: 2 what? i don't use kppp btw. what modem do you have?

[19:16] miladen: nope, wine is the best we have, but it will improve, then will start sucking again after the changes windows 7 brings [19:16] None, just manually, why? [19:16] windows 7? [19:16] miladen: the version after vista [19:16] where can i read about windows 7?

[19:47] nuno: Check out kubuntu.org, on the front page they have simple instructions [19:47] adam_: Okay [19:48] !kde4 > nuno [19:48] adam_: well what I heard about this morning was an upstream change in linux, then I saw there was an update to the ubuntu kernel, looked in the git tree and saw that it fixes this issue [19:48] A package?! [19:48] trappist: Which hardware are you having trouble with? [19:49] shingoki: I'm not having any trouble :) I'm just trying to help [19:49] Upstream change? As in, debian? And I presume a git tree is, like, a change log? [19:49] Hm... and is KDE4 compatible with Compiz Fusion? [19:49] trappist: ah ok :) Then which hardware is someone else having trouble with? ;) [19:49] adam_: upstream as in kernel.org, and the git tree is the source repository ubuntu's using for kernel source [19:49] shingoki: nvidia card [19:49] nuno: Yes.

[21:08] nekomimi Im just downloading something from a website [21:08] nekomimii no particular program I think, just whatever is standard when you download from a link? i'm not sure [21:09] bitmonster: I would save what you have under different name, then try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" to create a new xorg.conf. maybe comparing the old with the new will tell you something [21:09] jeisma firefox kget ? [21:10] bitmonster: I'm no expert with configuring xserver, I'm having my own probs with it atm [21:10] nekomimi get firefox you mean? i just tried to through adept but it said something about there may be a break in packages and it stopped.. [21:11] 2 [21:12] jeisma kget is a download manager for kde [21:12] mefisto__: ok, thank you anyway [21:12] jeisma or are you just useing konqerior ? [21:12] nekomimi im just using konqueror cause i can't get firefox for some reason [21:13] im trying to get into adept again and its giving me this message [21:13] Another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude). [21:13] how do i fix this? [21:13] when i click yes, adept crashes [21:13] jeisma open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install firefox if you are using ubuntu based [21:13] mefisto__: now it only has one screen left (despite the uncommented lines) [21:14] im using kubuntu [21:14] jeisma sudo apt-get install firefox [21:14] test i think i will work [21:14] !adeptfix | jeisma [21:14] jeisma: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [21:14] ok [21:15] hey all [21:16] dpkg: error processing gconf2-common (--configure): [21:16] Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should [21:16] reinstall it before attempting configuration. [21:16] what should i do about that nekomimi [21:16] can anybody help me with a wifi issue? or maybe its a torrent issue? [21:16] every time i use a torrent client (currently ktorrent) i get kicked off my wireless network after about 2-3 mins [21:16] nyp4life: ok [21:17] i don't know [21:17] same happened with deluge n some others from adept === marcel is now known as cobol [21:17] when im not using a client the connection is fine [21:18] ..is this a normal problem? [21:18] nyp4life: its problebly not the client thats wrong [21:18] yea i dont think its client-specific either [21:18] is there a visual tool to zip/unzip files? [21:18] nyp4life: you are using a wireless router does it have a config thats reject the torrent protocol [21:19] khell ARK [21:19] nyp4life: try changing the port ktorrent uses to a higher number. (just guessing your isp might be blocking commonly used ports) [21:19] nyp4life: yeah thats right [21:19] how do i check that? i changed the port to 50055 already thinking it would work [21:19] khelll sudo apt-get install ark [21:20] its good [21:20] yes thanks [21:20] i was using utorrent on winxp just fine [21:20] and firefox works perfectly here in kubuntu when im not dl/ul torrents [21:20] If I install a -docs package, where do the docs go? [21:21] jussi01: usually in /usr/share/docs, but dpkg -L would tell you [21:21] i dont think i can make a full transition to linux if i cant get this figured out.. :( [21:22] nyp4life: try installing utorrent in wine [21:22] bonsoir [21:22] nyp4life: is ktorrent using the same port no. as utorrent in windows? [21:22] ive heard wine is buggy.. ill do that if there's no other solution but is there any other way [21:23] des francais ici ? [21:23] nyp4life: utorrent works fine in wine, wine doesn't do well with other apps [21:23] yea should i try a different port? [21:23] !fr | shoken [21:23] shoken: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [21:23] nyp4life: no, if that port works in utorrent/windows, it should work in ktorrent [21:24] hmm.. i think im gonna try utorrent with wine n come back if it kicks me off again.. [21:24] thanks guys [21:25] Hello! I got a question about kdesvn. I can't checkout a repository into a working copy. The repository was created as follows: File > Subversion-Admin > Create and open a new repository. As location I selected a local folder. That seemed to work. Now I want to checkout this repository into a local folder using: Subversion > Common > Checkout of a repository. This does not work. Although I've chosen the right directories for repository and working [21:25] directory. There is an error message saying that the repository was not a working copy. If I switch the two directories there is another error message saying that the working copy is not a working copy. === ubuntu is now known as ubuntu__ [21:28] add: If I try to open the working directory using File > Open there is an error message saying that the project archive can not be opened. So I checked the rights of this directory but the user I am working with can read and write the directora and in addition it is the owner of it. [21:28] while i wait for wine.. im also having audio problems.. as in NO audio whatsoever [21:29] nyp4life: new install? [21:29] yes [21:30] !sound | nyp4life [21:30] nyp4life: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [21:30] !ac97 [21:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about ac97 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:31] nyp4life: there's a "test sound" button in system settings too. You should hear something if it's working [21:31] are there openoffice specialists here? [21:32] sourcemaker: I'm not really a specialist but I can try to help you === blank_ is now known as blankb [21:33] axel: I have a lot of documentations... and I will convert them to pdf via command line... [21:33] axel: have u started the subversion server and connecting to that? [21:33] open document => update All => convert to PDF? [21:35] I did'nt find a working macro [21:36] sourcemaker: Please stay on. I'm searching in the man-pages. [21:36] axel: thank you === richard is now known as richard_the_king [21:37] is there a way with konsole or adept to look for useless packages ? [21:37] ibou: there is a autoclean paramter [21:37] ibou: thats autoremove [21:38] ibou: but autoclean removes outdated packages from your cache (they take up space and are useless) [21:38] they are not useless if you want to reinstall a package you've removed [21:39] mefisto__: but the also have old versions too [21:39] ditto [21:40] sourcemaker: autoclean in konsole or adpt ? [21:40] sudo apt-get autoclean [21:40] sourcemaker: there is -pt. It prints an document on a printer. If you choose the pdf-Printer of kde this could work. I don't know it, as I have not tried it before. [21:40] mefisto same with aptitude ? [21:40] goodbye! [21:41] adz21c: As far as I know kdesvn does it automatically. (starting the svn-server) [21:41] adz21c: or am I wrong? [21:41] ibou: I think so. "aptitude --help" should show you the options available [21:42] axel: i couldn't say, but kdesvn works fine for me but i launch the server manually [21:42] g2g591: i sould use "sudo apt-get autoremove" alone ? [21:43] ibou: autoremove clears out the local repository of retrieved package files. autoclean remove packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies for some package and that are no more needed [21:43] sourcemaker: isn't it the other way around? [21:44] autoremove removes (uninstalls) packages [21:44] mefisto__: hm.. yes... sorry [21:44] mefisto__: my mistake [21:44] ok thanks [21:44] ibou: man apt-get :-) === tecumseh is now known as Tecumseh [21:48] hola === LinaLove is now known as Insane^ === Insane^ is now known as Insane` [21:52] hey :) [21:53] hi there [21:53] okay.. so i guess this is the most stupid question ever, but how do i open a ssh session with kubuntu? :| [21:54] start the terminal and then issue ssh -h [21:55] thanks (: [21:56] Tecumseh: what's the -h for? [21:57] just tested it, it doesn't work, it should've been help [21:57] ssh --help does work though [21:57] mefisto__: help This command shows you the options you have. [21:57] ok, I see === eric is now known as eric_ [22:00] hola? === tati is now known as tati_ [22:00] adz21c: checking out a repository from the i-net worked.

[22:10] axel: cos i have to launch the server each time lol === grg is now known as grg_ [22:11] adz21c: It seems this is a bug. [22:12] adz21c: First you have to open the repository you want to checkout. Then Subversion > Repository > Checout current repository path. [22:13] axel: So I file -> open -> file://my/repo/path, then go via that menu? [22:14] <_Angelus_> guys [22:14] <_Angelus_> why isnt kiba-dock available on kubuntu? [22:15] Hi [22:15] adz21c: Yes. === inaety__ is now known as inaety [22:15] axel: doesn't work for me,when i files -> open it opens the dir as if it was a working copy [22:16] axel: nothing important the server launches when i start PC anyway, just curious [22:16] adz21c: The only difference is, that instead of file:// there is ksvn+file:/ [22:16] ok [22:16] i try that one mo [22:17] is there a reason why nspluginviewer in Konqueror segfaults while trying to play flash movies?

(feisty) [22:18] gnucash isnt really good [22:18] Junkie: I don't think kubuntu provides the packages, so unless someone else does I would imagine not [22:19] Meh, I didn't think so, thanks anyway. [22:19] Konqueror's Gnash plugin isn't that good (because Gnash really doesn't work all that well), that's why I'm asking [22:19] Junkie: you could try downloaded the source packages and compiling it yourself, might need to upgrade some of your libs [22:19] KDE is hell to compile [22:19] Junkie: i don't recommend to use it, try it out with a liveCD [22:19] I'm mucto lasy :) [22:19] is it? i didn't find it that hard [22:19] much to* [22:19] too** [22:22] i've installed kubuntu-restricted-extras, i restart firefox, but flash plugin is not installed, what have i missed ? [22:23] !flashissues | enzo [22:23] enzo: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. Fixes have landed in -proposed for testing, but most most users are advised to wait until packages are approved and released in -updates. [22:23] rg [22:23] How can I use google talk with kubuntu? [22:24] I've already installed Flash, so that's a non issue [22:24] it works fine in Firefox and I presume other Mozilla-based browsers, the wrapper plugin is just plain broke in Konqueror [22:24] NickPresta: you think i'll be able to do a apt-get upgrade to get last flash plugin when it will be ok §? [22:24] norv, we know. The issue is being worked on [22:24] enzo: don't count on it being fixed for a while [22:25] ok, so i install by my own [22:25] NickPresta: is there a temporary fix? can I get a downgraded version or something? [22:25] enzo: I'm not an authority or anything, but it's been about a month [22:25] norv, I don't know if there is a fix, sorry. [22:25] Can someone help me with Google talk in KUBUNTU? [22:26] NickPresta: do you know the latest version that /did/ work? [22:26] mir_, Google Talk uses the Jabber protocol. You can use Pidgin, or anything that supports Jabber. === word|sleep is now known as word [22:27] thanks, but I have problem with installing [22:27] norv, I would imagine the version prior to this one (the broken one). You could look at the bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/173890 [22:27] mir_, problems installing what? [22:28] ok i got my audio working.. but its very scratchy.. any way to make it cleaner? [22:28] NickPresta: thanks [22:29] thanks I have lost the problem [22:29] NickPresta: I'll probably be able to find a deb somewhere, at least [22:29] mir_, I don't understand what you need help with... [22:29] norv, at the very least, you could use checkinstall to compile and create a deb so when the official fix comes, APT will recognize there is an update :) [22:30] adz21c: was "is it? i didn't find it that hard" addressed to me? [22:30] NickPresta: well, finding an old working tarball might be hard. it won't work from cvs/svn of course (because that's the latest) [22:31] axel: no someone said kde is hard to compile [22:32] NickPresta: I'd like to avoid downloading all of kdebase though.. and the disk space that all the -dev packages will take [22:33] hi is there a possibility at akregator to mark news with for example a blue flag like the red flag? [22:33] adz21c: IC. [22:34] adz21c: Which step did not work? [22:34] how to change subtitles size in kaffeine? Is it possible ?

First open the repository to check out from in Kdesvn. [22:36] axel: how do u mean open it? without the server running already it attempts to open a repo as a working dir, thats my problem [22:36] hello everyone [22:37] I am a newbie and I need some gelp [22:37] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 [22:37] help [22:37] plz [22:37] NickPresta: oops [22:37] adz21c: how chan I figure out wether a SVN-server is running? [22:37] axel: check your processes for svnserve [22:37] I would like to know how can I config the sound? [22:37] NickPresta: I don't think it's that one, because flash movies work perfectly fine in Firefox [22:38] yea i need help with sound too [22:38] mp3's sound like crap [22:38] hi guys [22:38] adz21c: Question from a beginner: How to view the active processes? [22:38] axel: ctrl-esc [22:38] ksysguard no longer shows the process usage % [22:38] how can I get it back [22:38] ? [22:39] mefisto__: Thanks! [22:40] adz21c: There is no svn-process. [22:40] araizen: right-click in the window, show column [22:40] axel: yea thats what I mean without a server I can't open my local repo as a repo, what do u put as the url?

[22:44] do you know where aRts is? [22:44] my mp3's sound terrible.. is there any way to make it sound normal? === ubuntu is now known as ubuntu_ [22:44] axel: how did u create the repository? [22:44] adz21c: In the Open-Dialogue: Try the path /home/... without anything before it. [22:44] nyp4life: terrible how? === ubuntu_ is now known as angelpirate [22:45] just really scratchy.. dont sound clean at all [22:45] axel: same result [22:45] nyp4life: and other sounds are ok? [22:46] adz21c: I created the repository using Kdesvn: File > Subversion-Admin > Create and open a new repository. [22:46] axel: i try that, i made mine with cli, one mo [22:47] axel: thats it [22:47] adz21c: does the checkout work as described, too? [22:47] nyp4life: i know something you could try.. [22:48] sorry its not only mp3's [22:48] nyp4life: open up kmix, go to the switches tab, and play with those. Especially try toggling the various 3d mix switches. [22:48] axel: yes [22:49] video playback isnt as clear as in xp also.. [22:49] adz21c: great! [22:51] 'switches' tab only has channel mode and input source (3 of them) [22:51] and 'headphone' and 'iec958' with radio buttons [22:52] nyp4life: make sure everything looks correct (channels, etc), then also play around with the switches.. [22:53] I had this same issue on a friend's pc, scratchy, almost degraded sound, but once we turned one of the 3d mix settings off, it was clean. [22:53] under channel mode there is 6ch and 8ch.. dont really notice a difference.. [22:53] hey nyp4life [22:53] yea, that probably wouldn't matter [22:54] do you know where is the aRts programme? [22:54] k i just unclicked the two 3D buttons from the output tab and it sounds much better [22:54] arts program.. no i dont [22:55] do you know where I can configure the sound/ [22:55] ?? [22:55] angelpirate: kmix [22:55] Hello - there are better channels for this but ubuntu rocks so I am here. Can anyone offer advice on selecting and moving more than one text box in OpenOffice Writer. [22:57] theone: holding control then clicking each one? ctrl-A will select all..which might help too..but I would have to see what you're talking about to know if that would work. [22:58] theone: when you select each one, you might have to make sure you're clicking near the txt boxes' border so that the little resize/move grabbers appear and actually select the box and not the text inside. [22:58] hey excitatory [22:58] yes? [22:58] exitatory - Yes - that is what I thought too -- for some reason I am having trouble getting the second box to click. [22:58] do you know where is the configuration program of the midi/ [22:58] ?? [23:00] exitatory- in other words the grabber doesn't appear. The boxes are not locked. In other programs that is how I do it but I have't tried it with OpenOffice so I thought maybe there was something special. [23:00] is there a reason why kdialog --msgbox "`kdesu apt-get install -y inkscape`" wouldn't work? [23:01] exitatory - what happens is I click one and then when pressing ctrl to click the other - it selects leaving the first one no longer selected. === solidliquid is now known as solid_liq [23:02] The little green square boxes appear but transfer from the old box to the new one selected. Also drawing around the boxes with the select tool is not working to highlight multiilpe boxes. [23:02] excitatory: were u the one helping me with the torrent issue? [23:02] how is it possibile to share pppoe connection between clent and server [23:02] angelpirate: system settings>sound. hardware tab. you can choose your midi device (your soundcard, if it has built-in midi) [23:02] angelpirate: open up kcontrol (way better than the default System Settings), go to the Sound & Multimedia, then Sound System, then Hardware tab [23:03] hdevalence, sudo apt-get install -y inkscape , would be better in the terminal , kdesu is for run programs [23:03] theone: try shift? i'm not really sure, i rarely use any office app [23:03] nyp4life: nope [23:04] BluesKaj: yeah, but I don't want to open a terminal -- and inept takes too long to load [23:04] lol ok well i have a problem with torrents.. any client i use eventually kicks me off my wireless network [23:04] lol inept [23:04] utorrent with wine lasted longest (~10 mins) [23:05] excitatory - thanks I appreciate it - I have tried and exhausted shift, alt etc. before coming here. I appreciate your effort. [23:05] Can you offer a channel maybe that I might find someone who uses this? [23:05] Hm.... I ran the distro updater and it spent 48 minutes downloading the files and now the windows just disappeared... [23:05] Hello. I am doing a version upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10. It is stuck configuring wvdial on the installation phase. It sounds like its a dial-up tool, in which case I do not need it. The error is that it "Failed to open device". Is there a way to skip the current step in the install terminal? [23:06] hdevalence, the run program box is exactly that to run apps aftert installation, not to install them. [23:06] BluesKaj: yeah, but I want to run the 'apt-get' program which is already installed [23:07] Is the updater still running in the background or something? [23:07] Me? Yes [23:07] anybody know why my torrent client kicks me off my wireless network? [23:08] bigred: no, i was refering to my question :P [23:08] I don't see a window for the updater :| [23:08] you might have too many peers nyp4life [23:08] hdevalence, apt-get is designed to run in the konsole /terminal , not the run box [23:09] yeah, but if I push it hard enough, I could probably get it to work [23:09] Junkie: I got the same thing when I upgraded to gutsy. try "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [23:09] k ill try lowering the global [23:10] hdevalence, afaik that command in the run box will open adept [23:11] ok, well, I have a question [23:12] hey,,, how u doin?, I am a bignner at linux (kubunto), I have some problem with sound, I have SB 5.1 the ASLA can identrify but nothing plays exept this noise, can u help me?

[23:19] hi there, anyone knows how to get numlock on when X starts (not when KDE starts, when X starts, at the login manager) [23:20] !numlock [23:20] To enable Number Lock by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock [23:20] bye [23:20] I see that asked a lot.. and ive got NO idea why people always want the numlock on. [23:21] Hey everyone [23:21] prolly have numbers in the login pw [23:22] so they got one hand on the letter keys. and move the other hand to the numpad just for a few #s? Seems a bit - slow. :) [23:22] Dr_Willis: well, for one, I always use the numpad when i input numbers.. (when i learned to type, i struggled with learning how to hit the number keys above the letters) [23:22] Hello [23:22] Can someone tell me how do I configure strigi of kde4? Can I even configure it? Thanks [23:22] I want to test Hardy. I've just installed Alpha 4. Now I want to test KDE4. I go about by first installing kde4-core. That shows a rather big dependancy error list. Any ideas? [23:22] could be i type mor eleft handed theni do right. :) i rarely use the numpad. other then its enter key every so often [23:23] DiceyDaysx: in konq, strigi:/configure [23:23] thorns, i would not mess with kde4 at this time. - If you want to toy with it - check out a kde4 live cd. [23:23] !hardy | thorns [23:23] thorns: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [23:23] No, I really would like to, Dr_Willis. [23:23] how do i erase a dvd-rw? [23:23] Dr_Willis: as for me it is because my password contains lots of numbers and i sometimes forget to press numlock, so that makes me type nothing instead of my actual pasword [23:23] BluesKaj: Ok, sure. [23:23] nyp4life, , just let the next burn overwrite it [23:24] excitatory: It says protocal not supported. [23:24] i tried that with k3b.. it said write successful but the disc shows the old files [23:24] thorns, well kde 4 has its own channel :) and #ubuntu+1 for hardy [23:24] BluesKaj [23:24] DiceyDaysx: are you sure you spelled strigi:/ correctly? [23:24] mohanad, ? [23:25] BluesKaj, I have two sound card Via and SB 5.1 how can I choose SB 5.1 as the default card [23:25] excitatory: copied and pasted it [23:25] is it installed? [23:25] yeah [23:25] mohanad,in the terminal : asoundconf set-default-card "name of soundcard" [23:26] excitatory: It is Find Files/Folders KDE4 in raptor right? [23:26] DiceyDaysx: what does strigi:/status say (remember, do this in konq) [23:26] or is it strigi-client. I seem not to have that installed [23:27] strigi is installed by default in gutsy [23:27] BluesKaj, how can I know the correct name of the card? [23:27] mohanad: asoundconf list [23:27] I installed kde4-core. I usually use gnome, but am trying out kde4. [23:27] k3b didn't overwrite the old files on DVD-RW [23:27] mohanad, cat /proc/asound/cards [23:28] downloaded strigi client, but no difference. [23:28] can i use gnome apps in kde? [23:29] DiceyDaysx: well, if you're a gnome user, you're much better off using the kde4 livecd.. you might have dependency problems, but it's hard to say. Also, you're really not missing much, kde 4.0 is mostly a framework release.. it's still pretty ugly.. 4.1+ will be much nicer.. [23:29] nyp4life, yes.. and visa-versa [23:29] thx [23:29] nyp4life, they all run on top of X. - you might have some quirks - depending on the app. [23:29] !ipv6 [23:29] To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [23:30] hi "ubuntu.com" doesn't load - why? [23:30] I like it well enough. Got things working pretty well, other than my icons on the desktop looking weird. [23:30] But no prob, I'll just forget about it. What about dragonplayer. I installed that and am wondering how do I run that. [23:31] BluesKaj, Thanks man, everything is working properly, ur the BEST [23:33] mohanad, YW , glad to help :) [23:34] anyone know what sets screen resolution for kdm? [23:35] mefisto__: usually your xorg.conf file [23:35] excitatory: it is supposed to, but doesn't [23:36] how do i get my machine graphics back to vessa so i can see the screen? [23:37] xcell , sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [23:37] will that put it back? [23:38] you will have the option [23:38] nice, thank you. [23:38] Hi [23:39] ill be back, hopefully [23:39] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg only (re)creates xorg.conf, right? [23:39] no [23:39] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [23:40] I am attempting to have Kubuntu load up Compiz-Fusion and the Avant-Window-Navigator as soon as I bootup, the problem is, the only way I know how to do this is by creating a bash script in ~/.kde/Autostart. This generates some problems because this sometimes prevents the power manager from appearing in the taskbar. Is there an alternative to this? [23:40] can I reconfig xserver, without changing xorg.conf? [23:42] mefisto__, xorg.conf is what holds all the xserver configs.... [23:42] mefisto__, what are you want ing to change exactly? [23:42] mefisto__, reconfiguring it will change some parameters depending on the options you choose [23:43] Strangework: this isn't perfect, but try appending an & to your compiz command, make a new line, sleep 5&, new line, dcop kicker kicker restart [23:43] Dr_Willis: kdm is always 1024x768, even if I only have 1280x1024 in xorg.conf [23:43] Strangework, put a delay in the script - so the powermanager has time to startup? [23:45] Dr_Willis: if I log out after startup, kdm is at the correct 1280x1024, but on first startup it's 1024x768 [23:45] I thouhg i saw a checkbox or some setting tool in kde to set a specific res as the default for the system. But i dont have the problem. So not sure if thats a fix or not [23:51] mefisto__: you know.. my kdm was doing that for a while. I think i just commented out the modeline in the xorg.conf and it fixed it. [23:51] excitatory: so you have no modelines? [23:52] no, they've been pretty useless for a while, unless you're using certain configurations with open drivers [23:57] argh, whenever a kernel is updated, it always sets my grub config to boot from (hd1,0) and not (hd0,0) like it should be.. (i can manually fix it, but i have to do this after every kernel update..) [23:58] mefisto__, have you tried the admin mode in system settings/monitor & display/resolution ?
