| electroweak | hi guys I am having problem with my wifi | 00:07 |
| NickPresta | electroweak, what sort of problem? | 00:07 |
| electroweak | I can`t get it work | 00:07 |
| electroweak | I am using HP with broadcom | 00:07 |
| NickPresta | !doesn't work | electroweak | 00:07 |

| soulrider | NickPresta: nope | 00:58 |

| ubotu | To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository.

| NickPresta | soulrider, you might want to check out getopt or optparse (OO "version"). It replaces you whole parameters while block. We can discuss this in #kubuntu-offtopic if you want. | 00:59 |
| jeisma | !perl | 00:59 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about perl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:59 |

| redshadowhero | So, Kubuntu 8.04 is going to come with KDE 4, right? | 01:48 |
| Odd-rationale | redshadowhero: I believe so | 01:48 |
| Odd-rationale | redshadowhero: It may not be LTS though | 01:48 |
| ignoramus | hey all. does anyone know why some apps (i'm looking at you, Ktorrent) overlap the kicker panel, so that I can't see the bottom of the app's display? I can hide kicker to see, but it shouldn't be like that, amirite? | 01:48 |
| Odd-rationale | ignoramus: It is like that for me... | 01:50 |
| ignoramus | odd-rationale: doesn't that drive you nuts? | 01:51 |
| redshadowhero | Oh, I see. | 01:51 |
| Odd-rationale | ignoramus: I just position the window higher... | 01:51 |
| redshadowhero | Is that going to cause any problems come April? | 01:51 |
| NickPresta | No, Hardy is not being shipped with KDE 4.0 | 01:51 |
| Odd-rationale | NickPresta: WHAT! | 01:52 |
| Daisuke_Ido | NickPresta: isn't the whole thing that 3.5.8 won't be supported for the full 3-year LTS span, so it won't be an LTS release? | 01:52 |
| Daisuke_Ido | or rather, the 3.5 branch in general | 01:52 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Odd-rationale: there's no reason for a desktop distro to ship with kde 4.0 | 01:52 |
| Dragnslcr | Last I heard, KDE4 will be available in the standard repositories for 8.04, but it won't be the default on the normal installation media | 01:52 |
| Daisuke_Ido | even kde devs have said that 4.0 is a dev release for the most part, and that users should wait for 4.1 | 01:53 |
| ignoramus | Odd-rationale: with my poor vision, i need that crap maximized! There's gotta be a way for apps to respect Kicker's authoritar. Screen for those who haven't dealt with this > http://img225.imageshack.us/my.php?image=snapbi5.png | 01:53 |
| NickPresta | Dragnslcr, you're correct | 01:54 |
| Odd-rationale | but the kde website said that it will have kde 4 http://kde.org/download/ | 01:54 |
| NickPresta | It doesn't say 8.04 is the default. :) | 01:55 |
| Odd-rationale | : | 01:55 |
| Odd-rationale | ( | 01:55 |
| NickPresta | Odd-rationale, you can still install KDE 4.0 at your leisure. It just isn't going to be the default. Releasing an LTS with KDE 4.0 doesn't seem like a wise idea. | 01:56 |
| ignoramus | launchpad has Hardy listed as "KDE4" > https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/kubuntu-hardy-kde4 | 01:56 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Odd-rationale: you're still free to install it, i don't understand why you're going all sad-faced | 01:56 |
| Odd-rationale | ignoramus: It looks like that when you maximize? | 01:56 |
| ignoramus | Odd-rationale: yup | 01:56 |
| Odd-rationale | Daisuke_Ido: Will I have to uninstall kde 3? | 01:57 |
| NickPresta | Someone could always ask in #ubuntu+1 if they are unsure and want to hear the answer from the horses mouth :) | 01:57 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ignoramus: yes, that's to get kde 4 *ready* for hardy. it is not the default, will not be the default, and most certainly *should not* be the default | 01:57 |

| Dr_willis | My wife likes the comiz zoom feature - to let her see things zoomed in. :) | 01:57 |
| ignoramus | daisuke_ido: you're probably right... btw, anyone who's not a dev or kde master will probably have a tough time with KDE4 in the state its in right now (very rough) | 01:58 |
| * Dr_willis seconds;s ignoramus ;s oponiion :) | 01:58 | |
| Odd-rationale | Will there be an option to install kde 4 on installation? or will it have to be post-install like it is now? | 01:59 |
| * Daisuke_Ido thirds it | 01:59 | |
| ignoramus | dr_willis: it shows great promise, but definitely not ready as a "stable" release | 01:59 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Odd-rationale: post-install | 01:59 |
| Daisuke_Ido | just like you're not given the option to install gnome or kde on install | 01:59 |
| ignoramus | Odd-rationale: check Adept- you should have all the stuff right there... but don't say you weren't warned ;) | 01:59 |
| Daisuke_Ido | there's a single option depending on what iso you download. | 02:00 |
| * Odd-rationale doesn't want LTS; he wants KDE 4. | 02:00 | |
| NickPresta | Odd-rationale, you can stay with Gutsy :) | 02:00 |
| Dr_willis | Yea - Ubuntiu dosent seem to follow the 'lets ask a lot of questions at install to let the user customize things' approach. | 02:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you certainly live up to your nick | 02:00 |
| ignoramus | Daisuke_Ido: are you talking to me? what'd i say? | 02:01 |

| Daisuke_Ido | not you :D | 02:01 |
| ignoramus | aha :) | 02:01 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Odd-rationale :) | 02:01 |
| Odd-rationale | ignoramus: I already tried kde 4. It is still buggy. But in a couple months it should be quite solid. 4.1 comes out only like two months after... | 02:01 |
| Daisuke_Ido | 4.1 in what, june? | 02:01 |
| Odd-rationale | Daisuke_Ido: I'm glad you like my nick. :) | 02:01 |
| ignoramus | Odd-rationale: so i don't get what you're asking... what are you trying to accomplish? | 02:01 |
| DreadKnight | no point for that, the end of the world is in may xD | 02:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i can see it being default by *maybe* 8.10, more likely 9.04 | 02:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | DreadKnight: impossible, the end of the world isn't until december 2012 | 02:02 |
| DreadKnight | :D | 02:02 |
| Odd-rationale | ignoramus: sorry didn;t mean to adress just you.. | 02:03 |
| DreadKnight | 4.0.1 should be out in about 2 days right? | 02:04 |
| ignoramus | Odd-rationale: believe me, people will answer no matter what :), but I don't understand what you want - you said you've already tried KDE4, but you're asking how to get it? Maybe I'm misunderstanding? | 02:05 |
| Odd-rationale | ignoramus: Just replying to your comment to be warned before hand. I know by expereince. :) | 02:06 |
| ignoramus | Odd-rationale: so how long until you uninstalled? I think I made it a full day before I realized it was way too buggy, and many of my favorite options weren't there... | 02:06 |
| DreadKnight | omg xD | 02:07 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i personally haven't uninstalled it | 02:07 |
| Odd-rationale | ignoramus: about the same | 02:07 |
| DreadKnight | i used it for ... um.. weeks up until today xD | 02:07 |
| Daisuke_Ido | so i'm still pulling updates, and should get the upgrades around the time i should | 02:07 |
| ignoramus | Daisuke_Ido: how do you run KDE 3.5.8 without uninstalling 4? | 02:08 |
| Dr_willis | I just selected kde4 in the kdm menu | 02:08 |
| Dr_willis | or kde3 | 02:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | yeah, it's just a session selection | 02:08 |
| ignoramus | oh! well, i feel stupid :P | 02:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | however, i don't use kde on here | 02:08 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 02:09 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i'm a gnomie on my desktop | 02:09 |
| ignoramus | i was surprised on how much space it took up | 02:09 |
| DreadKnight | hardy has sorting for kde3 / kde 4 apps in the menu, like when running kde3, you get a suffix for the KDE4 apps :) | 02:09 |
| Dr_willis | testing out ubuntu+1 here this week. :) | 02:09 |
| ignoramus | ubuntu+1??? | 02:09 |
| DreadKnight | hardy | 02:09 |
| Dr_willis | We are getting wayyyyyy too much clutter in the menus these days. :) | 02:09 |
| DreadKnight | i've tried hardy the last few days | 02:10 |
| Dr_willis | not near as bad as my vista machine is getting. | 02:10 |
| ignoramus | dr_willis: don't tell that to Linus! | 02:10 |
| Dr_willis | Im thinking a sorting of KDE stuff in one submenu, and gnome in another.. would help me. :) | 02:10 |
| Odd-rationale | Dr_willis: You can do the btw | 02:10 |
| Dr_willis | Then i guess ya got 'other' menu :) | 02:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | gnome helps me keep things uncluttereded | 02:11 |
| Odd-rationale | Dr_willis: I saw a sript that does exactly that. | 02:11 |
| Dr_willis | #1 thing i like about the gnome menus. is i can disable the icons. I dont need icons nest to the program names.. i can read the names. | 02:11 |
| Dr_willis | heh | 02:11 |
| DreadKnight | O_o | 02:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i'm just thrilled to have finally found a gui-based program to check and repair using par2 volumes | 02:11 |

| Dr_willis | Ihavent messed with par files in ages. | 02:12 |
| Daisuke_Ido | haven't been on usenet for ages? :) | 02:12 |
| Dr_willis | Ive not been on the newsgroups much lately :) | 02:12 |
| Dr_willis | Easier to find what i want with torrents. | 02:12 |
| ignoramus | dr_willis: are usenet groups still pay-by-month? | 02:13 |
| Dr_willis | Gotta love downloading 100 rar' and 100 pars to make a zip, of an isu. | 02:13 |

| Odd-rationale | I probably shouldn't aks this here, but what is the best distro with kde 4 atm? | 02:13 |
| Dr_willis | theres free ones and comercial ones last i looked | 02:13 |
| DreadKnight | Odd-rationale: kubuntu ... or opensuse i guess | 02:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | my isp's newsserver's included, most free ones are terrible, expect to pay around $25 for full unlimited access | 02:13 |
| Dr_willis | Odd-rationale, I was thinking the kde4 site has a weekly livecd build - but not sure what its based on. | 02:13 |
| ignoramus | dr_willis: hmm... always checking out new ways to obtain, um, files... i've heard good things about DCC+ (i think its called that) | 02:13 |
| Dr_willis | ignoramus, dcc is annoying in ways | 02:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | directconnect is a joke | 02:14 |
| DreadKnight | ignoramus: dc++ | 02:14 |
| ignoramus | Daisuke_Ido: not worth it | 02:14 |
| ignoramus | yeah, thats it... no good, eh? | 02:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | not for me | 02:14 |
| ignoramus | Daisuke_Ido: slow? | 02:14 |
| DreadKnight | i like dc++ very nice for getting a song or two :P etc | 02:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | slow, required share amounts, and i could never get it working properly | 02:15 |
| ignoramus | DreadKnight: you should check out skreemr.com - http-style :) | 02:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | DreadKnight: and there's where you would want to look into something like soulseek (nicotine in linux) | 02:15 |
| DreadKnight | dc++ is the fastest if you join local hubs (i get a couple of mb's speed) | 02:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and this is all so so so very... | 02:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | !offtopic | 02:15 |

| ignoramus | haha! | 02:15 |
| DreadKnight | hmm, will check those 2 out... i used emule (amule) before... but it's very slow | 02:16 |
| ignoramus | thanks for the help, guys. going for cognac. be back tomorrow | 02:16 |
| DreadKnight | cognac? O_o | 02:17 |
| DreadKnight | erm | 02:17 |
| ignoramus | yeah, i get that a lot | 02:17 |
| DreadKnight | don't know what that is | 02:17 |
| DreadKnight | :D | 02:17 |

| dm_edge | hi everyone, Is there anyone here that knows how to solve network problems in kubuntu? I've been trying for hours to set up my network connection though nothing works. There was an internet connection once after installation, and after installing nvidia drivers I couldn't get an IP address by DHCP ever again, does anyone have an idea? I'm running kubuntu 7, and using admtek card (wired network) | 02:18 |

| heinkel_111 | I need a java runtime environmnet for some web application, but which package to install? I am confused about choices. PS: I do not hack java.... | 02:35 |
| heinkel_111 | will FreeJava work with "normal" websites | 02:36 |
| Dr_willis | heinkel_111, install the kubuntu-restricted-extras package. it shoul dinstall java and some other bits you want | 02:36 |
| heinkel_111 | ? | 02:36 |
| hemanathan | hi | 02:36 |
| ol_dude67 | heinkel_111, http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp | 02:36 |
| Dr_willis | Depends on the site :) | 02:36 |
| madik | erick: theres a bunch of possibilities | 02:36 |
| Dr_willis | Install that -extras package and you should be et. | 02:36 |
| Dr_willis | set | 02:37 |
| frank23 | heinkel_111: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | sell except for the flash disaster. | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 02:37 |
| heinkel_111 | Dr_Willis: oh yes, this is for airlines, banks and such stuff | 02:37 |
| heinkel_111 | totally boring but i need it to just work | 02:37 |
| ol_dude67 | flash is easy if you install by hand, other wise i think your screwed still. | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | heinkel_111, install the kubuntu-restricted-extras package. it installs the actual sun java stuff. | 02:37 |
| heinkel_111 | DR_willis: does it also attempt to install flash? | 02:38 |
| heinkel_111 | because i have working flash...don't want it destroyed | 02:38 |
| DreadKnight | heinkel_111: it does | 02:38 |
| heinkel_111 | can i stop it from doing that, interactively somehow? | 02:38 |
| ol_dude67 | if its installed already by hand it shouldnt...no guaranties. | 02:38 |
| DreadKnight | heinkel_111: not sure about reinstalling... if you got the flash package checked it shouldn't reinstall it ... | 02:39 |
| heinkel_111 | hmm. the kubuntu-restricted-extras is a metapackage, right? | 02:39 |
| DreadKnight | right | 02:39 |
| Dr_willis | It dident affect my flash that i saw. then again flashis easy to fix. :) | 02:39 |
| heinkel_111 | so I could just list the components and go a la carte? | 02:40 |
| madik | oui | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis | it dosent do that. but if you got flash working.. it shouldent try to reinstall it. | 02:40 |
| madik | but they are all quite useful | 02:40 |
| DreadKnight | heinkel_111: you could "check" the metapackage and uncheck the flash if it's on the list | 02:40 |
| DreadKnight | in adept | 02:41 |
| Makuseru | !epsxe | 02:41 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about epsxe - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:41 |
| heinkel_111 | i have to admit to being a command line apt fan now :-) | 02:41 |
| DreadKnight | :) | 02:41 |
| ubuntu | is it possible to log into a KDE4 session on the Hardy alpha 4 live cd? | 02:42 |
| DreadKnight | ubuntu: as far as i remember kde4 isn't installed by default.. hmm | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | I normally just grab an unofficial fixed flash deb at --> http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb | 02:42 |
| frank23 | Makuseru: epsxe is a pain to setup with all the plugins | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | But thats proberly not a reccomended way to fix it. :) | 02:43 |
| Dr_willis | epsxe can be a pain. :) | 02:43 |
| Makuseru | frank23: yes, yes it is | 02:43 |
| Dr_willis | But its nice when you find a plugin that does just what you need. | 02:43 |
| madik | Dr_willis: what ist fixed in this deb? myspace? | 02:43 |
| Makuseru | i cant get it to work ATM | 02:43 |
| Dr_willis | madik, it actually installs properly. :) | 02:43 |
| mith_ | hi...how can i create a x11 cursor theme? | 02:43 |
| DreadKnight | Rambo. John Rambo. | 02:44 |
| madik | and plays myspace-audio? | 02:44 |
| heinkel_111 | Hi guys, in a metapackage, are the "real packages" listed as "recommends" ? | 02:44 |
| Dr_willis | X11 uses one set of pointers for the mouse, KDE has its own set, and GNOME has yet another set. :) | 02:44 |
| Dr_willis | I would say check kde-look.org for example mouse cursor themes. | 02:44 |
| heinkel_111 | I can't see any required packages in the kubuntu-restricted-extras package | 02:45 |
| DreadKnight | heinkel_111: definetly not | 02:45 |
| mith_ | i can download a lot on kde-look, but i want to make my own...or try to make my own :) | 02:45 |
| madik | heinkel_111: no. its "depends" | 02:45 |
| DreadKnight | heinkel_111: just fire up adept :) sudo adept_manager for the command line maniac in you xD | 02:45 |
| Dr_willis | mith_, take one . Look at it. :) and how its laid out. | 02:45 |
| Dr_willis | mith_, then change it. :) | 02:45 |
| ubuntu | It's a shame Kubuntu doesn't come with any graphics editing tools by default | 02:45 |
| ubuntu | :/ | 02:45 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu, a simple apt-get install gimp and there ya go. | 02:46 |
| frank23 | Makuseru: how far did you get with epsxe? | 02:46 |
| madik | cause its so hard to install one later, ubuntu? | 02:46 |
| DreadKnight | ubuntu: it will soon ;) when koffice2 is out i guess :) krita | 02:46 |
| ubuntu | totally missing the point there kids | 02:46 |
| Dr_willis | do we need a kimp? :) | 02:46 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu, the cd is as full as it can be.. somthing has to go. | 02:46 |
| * Jucato wonders what he walked into... | 02:46 | |
| Makuseru | frank23: it isntalled and i got all the plugins installed, but when i try to open an ISO i get this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54803/ | 02:46 |
| DreadKnight | Dr_willis: krita rullz | 02:46 |
| heinkel_111 | DreadKnight: you must be wrong...look here : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54804/ <--- no "required" packages | 02:46 |
| Dr_willis | DreadKnight, not tried that one. Im ok in gimp skills. | 02:46 |
| heinkel_111 | and btw i see some others saw that in the meantime while i was pasting and binnning.... | 02:47 |
| Jucato | Dr_willis: there was a kimp project before iirc.... but it died quite fast irrc too | 02:47 |
| Dr_willis | Theres 'talk' about the next release taking up 2 cd's - but i dont think thats going to happen. | 02:47 |
| DreadKnight | Dr_willis: it rather better as in feature... still laks some community userbase and polishness | 02:47 |
| DreadKnight | heinkel_111: :) | 02:47 |
| ubuntu | DreadKnight: koffice2 is due out at the end april, but I hope that at least a release candidate or something lands into Kubuntu 8.04 | 02:47 |
| Dr_willis | DreadKnight, i Miss good old Deluxe Paint. | 02:47 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 02:47 |
| frank23 | Makuseru: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=550304 look here and do the step about upx | 02:48 |
| DreadKnight | ubuntu: sudo apt-get install koffice or koffice2 (which is alpha 6 = crappy atm) | 02:49 |
| DreadKnight | kde4 has some sort of Mspaint tool in it | 02:49 |
| ubuntu | I know how to install Krita and that, but it should totally be there already | 02:49 |
| Jucato | ubuntu: I don't think they're on schedule... Jan. 30 is supposed to be Beta 1... none so far | 02:50 |
| DreadKnight | ubuntu: agree :\ | 02:50 |
| Makuseru | frank23: "upx-ucl-beta is already the newest version." | 02:50 |
| frank23 | Makuseru: and you have decompressed the epsxe binary? | 02:50 |
| frank23 | Makuseru: had you done that before already? | 02:51 |
| Makuseru | epsxe opens | 02:52 |
| Makuseru | i can edit all the options and such | 02:52 |

| jeisma | sudo apt-get install alsa-utils? | 04:19 |
| sherl0k | well | 04:19 |
| sherl0k | from the looks of that error, it shows you have no sound card installed | 04:19 |

| kiefer_ | How do I change my default file browser from dolphin? | 05:02 |
| alexbe01 | !dolphin | 05:02 |
| ubotu | Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. | 05:02 |
| unagi | why woul du wanna do that | 05:02 |
| unagi | ew konq | 05:02 |
| alexbe01 | unagi: because d3lphin is terrible. | 05:02 |
| unagi | whats wrong with it | 05:02 |
| kiefer_ | its overly complilacted | 05:02 |
| alexbe01 | dolphin (the version in kde 4) is quite nice | 05:03 |
| Jucato | that's a first :) | 05:03 |
| kiefer_ | complicated* | 05:03 |
| Jucato | Dolphin > Konqueror > D3lphin... | 05:03 |
| stunatra | Dolphin is a bit slower than Konq. | 05:03 |
| alexbe01 | d3lphin is based on an outdated branch and is woefully behind, not to mention ugly and unwieldy | 05:03 |
| unagi | konq is slow to me | 05:03 |
| unagi | and it doesnt want to browse the internet | 05:03 |
| unagi | dolphin looks rpetty to me | 05:03 |
| alexbe01 | unagi: we're talking about a file manager, not a browser | 05:03 |
| Jucato | then there's something terrible wrong if Konq doesn't want to browse :) | 05:03 |
| kiefer_ | So how do I change my default to konq? | 05:04 |
| Jucato | kiefer_: look above | 05:04 |
| kiefer_ | oh, silly me, thanks :) | 05:04 |

| Daisuke_Laptop | woo! | 05:04 |

| unagi | are you telling me that konq isnt listed in kubuntu as a web browser? | 05:04 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | it is | 05:04 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | but we're talking about using it as the default file manager | 05:05 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | we're not even close to discussing it as a web browser | 05:05 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | i have my issues with it - until it handles gmail correctly, i won't touch it - but that's neither here nor there | 05:05 |

| virnik | huh | 06:38 |
| virnik | sure it have | 06:38 |
| virnik | another question | 06:38 |
| virnik | does somebody successfully modified kubuntu to kill compiz before hibernation? | 06:38 |
| ross_ | Is anyone using MySql.Data.dll to connect to MySql in MonoDevelop? | 06:38 |
| jussi01 | !anyone | 06:38 |
| ubotu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 06:38 |
| virnik | it really pains me to ass, when I have to kill compiz before hibernate | 06:39 |
| virnik | jussi01: nice, but this one is real question, do u have problem with that? | 06:39 |
| virnik | if u cant answer, just do not react | 06:39 |
| jussi01 | virnik: it was directed at ross_ | 06:40 |
| virnik | hmmm | 06:40 |
| Jucato | virnik: you can try asking in #compiz-fusion | 06:40 |
| virnik | anyway | 06:40 |
| virnik | this is #kubuntu | 06:41 |
| virnik | and I am using kubuntu | 06:41 |
| Jucato | !compiz | 06:41 |
| ubotu | Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion | 06:41 |
| virnik | so I am asking here...by the common logic | 06:41 |
| Jucato | yes, and we try to point you to the place where you might be able to get better help. | 06:41 |
| virnik | cos I need inf about script which is run by pressing hibernate from the shutdown menu of my KDM | 06:41 |
| virnik | Jucato: there is little missunderstanding | 06:42 |
| virnik | I am not asking about compiz...I really know compiz with it's behaviour | 06:42 |
| virnik | I am asking about kubuntu/ubuntu scripts | 06:42 |
| virnik | so, again, which script is called by pressing "hibernate" button? | 06:42 |
| mefisto__ | jussi01: just for the record, Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024" worked! screenres is now as it should be before and after login, fonts look perfect everywhere, I'm overjoyed. And it was so simple | 06:43 |
| jussi01 | mefisto__: thats fantastic :) | 06:43 |
| ross_ | jussi01: I'm getting compiler errors: "The class System.data.Common.DbConnection could not be loaded, used in System.Data, Version 2.0.0.0" | 06:43 |
| mefisto__ | and more importantly, xine video aspect is working right now | 06:43 |
| jussi01 | ross_: ahhh, ok, Ive no Idea about that error. there are a lot of people in #mysql that may be helpful if you dont get an answer here | 06:44 |
| ross_ | jussi01: Thanks, I am pursuing the question there right now... | 06:46 |

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 07:52 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that could be because sound is aural and display implies some sort of visual medium... | 07:53 |

| alan | also it says in my mtab that /dev/sda1 is mounted at /, and i know for a fact that isnt true. | 08:08 |
| Jucato | zorglu_: there must either be a cron or updatedb/locate config that sets it up? | 08:09 |

| apparle | ForgeAus: As I already said, I either have a computer 'with internet and Windows XP' or a computer 'without network but with kubuntu' | 10:26 |
| acemo | First you must find which model of sound card you use, so run this command: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec so i run the command and it says no such file or directory.. is there a other way of finding out wich model/codec i have? | 10:27 |
| apparle | jpatrick: Will I have to wait untill p.u.c is running again | 10:28 |
| ForgeAus | without a network doesn't matter if you have kubuntu all you need is access to the .deb files you can download to your usb drive | 10:28 |
| ForgeAus | (that is download in XP) | 10:28 |
| Jucato | ForgeAus: which goes back to his problem of packages.ubuntu.com being down... | 10:28 |

| ForgeAus | you don't need packages.ubuntu.com | 10:30 |
| ForgeAus | apt-zip? interesting... lol | 10:31 |
| Jucato | ForgeAus: he does if he wants an easy way to 1. download the .deb files and 2. see the dependencies | 10:31 |

| acemo | First you must find which model of sound card you use, so run this command: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec so i run the command and it says no such file or directory.. is there a other way of finding out wich model/codec i have? | 10:33 |
| apparle | Jucato: It may seem to you that its easy using p.u.c but its not. try installing any simple software like mplayer with p.u.c and you will understand what an headache it is!!!!!! Doing it for 6months. It takes me almost a week to install a software.> Download a package> Go home and check dependencies> Come back and download dependencies>Go home and check dependencies of dependencies and so on | 10:35 |
| Jucato | apparle: much easier than going to archive.ubuntu.com and searching for the .deb, trying to install it, realizing it needs some other .deb, going back to p.u.c, rinse and repeat | 10:36 |
| apparle | Jucato: Much difficult than apt-get. Don't tell me you use the method you told above | 10:37 |
| Jucato | fortunately no :) | 10:37 |
| Jucato | why can't you get an internet connection on your Kubuntu? | 10:38 |

| apparle | Jucato: Impossible. No permission from parents. Apt-zip is similar to apt-get for people like me . It is similar to aptoncd but it generates a linux script. This script can then e converted to DOS and then used on XP. I just don't know how to use apt-zip | 10:41 |
| apparle | nobody here knows how to use apt-zip. Last week I got many replies | 10:42 |

| Jucato | Gast909: you need to install "build-essential". there aren't any compilers installed by default | 10:52 |
| SlimeyPete | "g++ myprogram.c"? | 10:52 |

| SlimeyPete | apparle: I heard that the latest ALSA fixes the problem for some people | 11:12 |
| SlimeyPete | acemo: mine used to work in Fiesty | 11:12 |
| acemo | SlimeyPete: am tempted to install hardy.. | 11:13 |
| SlimeyPete | I guess that might work, though they may not have updated ALSA yet. | 11:14 |
| acemo | SlimeyPete: i shall find that out :) | 11:14 |
| SlimeyPete | :) | 11:14 |
| acemo | too bad there aint a kde4 version of hardy yet | 11:15 |
| acemo | anyone knows if the soundblaster live will work out of the box in kubuntu 7.10? friend of me has one laying around.. if that works i dont have to reinstall =) | 11:25 |
| SlimeyPete | acemo: it will. | 11:25 |
| acemo | great | 11:25 |
| SlimeyPete | in fact it'll work with pretty much any linux distro released in the last five years - the SB Live is very well-supported :) | 11:25 |
| acemo | thats pretty sweet :) | 11:26 |
| * SlimeyPete keeps one in a drawer for emergencies ;) | 11:26 | |
| acemo | think it will automagicly install it or ill have to manually do that? =p | 11:26 |
| sigma_1234 | would it be illegal to distribute linux with arial as the default interface font? | 11:27 |
| SlimeyPete | heh, now that I don't know, to be honest. I imagine the kernel module is installed by default so it *should* be loaded automatically but you may have to check your modules configuration in /etc/ | 11:27 |
| jussi01 | sigma_1234: consult a lawyer, but I think so. | 11:28 |
| acemo | sigma_1234: big chance yeah | 11:28 |

| Gast930 | if i want to compile a program with g++, i use "g++ -o -wall (name) (sourcefile)". how can i change the folders while using the console? | 11:32 |
| acemo | ../ to go up a folder | 11:33 |
| Gast930 | "../" | 11:33 |
| SlimeyPete | Gast930: cd | 11:33 |
| Gast930 | in windows / dos it is | 11:33 |
| Gast930 | cd | 11:33 |
| stdin | you need "cd" before there, cd = change directory | 11:33 |
| SlimeyPete | cd .. | 11:33 |
| Gast930 | ah | 11:33 |
| SlimeyPete | cd dirname | 11:33 |
| SlimeyPete | etc | 11:33 |
| Gast930 | in linux too? | 11:33 |
| acemo | ahh doh yeah.. | 11:33 |
| Gast930 | kk | 11:33 |
| SlimeyPete | Gast930: yes, it's the same but there must be a space between "cd" and "..", unlike DOS. | 11:33 |

| Jucato | yolnizzle: when are you getting this error? what are you trying to do? if you could give more details, that would assist you in getting help | 12:21 |
| Jucato | we are not mind readers :) | 12:22 |
| romunov | yes we are, speak for yourself | 12:22 |
| mith_ | how can i make a .o file? can i make it from a .h file? | 12:22 |
| oguz1327 | hi babes | 12:22 |
| yolnizzle | each time i try to run [./ configure ] | 12:22 |
| Jucato | yolnizzle: do you have build-essential installed? | 12:23 |
| yolnizzle | please how do i check ? | 12:23 |
| Jucato | mith_: um.. you need a .cpp that goes with the .h for that... what are you trying to do | 12:23 |
| Jucato | romunov: I'll keep that in mind next time | 12:23 |
| Jucato | yolnizzle: "sudo apt-get install build-essential" should install the basic things you need for compiling | 12:24 |
| yolnizzle | [ i downloaded some apps in tar.bz2 format. ] 10ks a lot jucato | 12:24 |
| ol_dude67 | jucato,why isnt in a regular install if you are going to use it in the first place? | 12:24 |
| ol_dude67 | just asking | 12:25 |
| Jucato | ol_dude67: hum? | 12:25 |
| Jucato | !b-e | yolnizzle | 12:25 |
| ubotu | yolnizzle: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 12:25 |
| Jucato | ol_dude67: I didn't understand the question | 12:25 |
| ol_dude67 | its ok a little off topic, but if you are going to build packages in linux it would seem you would get that in the actual install of kubuntu or ubuntu or whatever. | 12:26 |
| mmance | can someone tell me the limit for ext3 for the amount of files in a directory? | 12:27 |
| zorglu_ | mmance: is there a limitation ? | 12:27 |
| mmance | I am sure there is, I just don't know what it is. | 12:27 |
| Jucato | ol_dude67: because Ubuntu, like Debian, Fedora/Red Hat, etc. are what you call "binary distros". they provide binary packages as the default means of installing things on your system. these packages are built and tested to work on those particular distros/systems. compiling is the exception, not the rule | 12:27 |
| zorglu_ | ol_dude67: compiling from source is not considered the default behaviour | 12:27 |
| Pici | mmance: Wikipedia should have the answer, they have quite a bit of info on filesystem limit. | 12:28 |
| mmance | pici, nope, they did for ext2 but not for ext3 | 12:28 |
| Pici | mmance: really? hrm. | 12:28 |
| yolnizzle | ol_dude67: have you tried the autopackage format [ www.autopackage.org/packages ] | 12:28 |
| Jucato | ol_dude67: unfortunately, one of the dominant myths surrounding Linux is that you absolutely need to compile everything | 12:28 |
| mmance | I have to have 180,000 files in a directory | 12:28 |
| mmance | anyone have anything close to that? | 12:28 |
| ol_dude67 | just was wondering, like i have said before im a slack user by default. | 12:29 |
| ol_dude67 | i just switched to kubuntu not long ago.sorry for the dumb questions. | 12:30 |
| Jucato | it's not dumb | 12:30 |
| yolnizzle | ol_dude67: its not a dumb question we are all learners here too | 12:30 |
| Jucato | it's a common misconception.. and you coming from slack, I'm not surprised why you asked :) | 12:31 |
| zorglu_ | mmance: with only 180,000, you can write a test. if you want. | 12:31 |
| zorglu_ | mmance: i looked at it and didnt find the answer | 12:31 |
| Dragnslcr | mmance- a quick look at Wikipedia seems to say that the total number of available inodes is equal to B/2^13, where B is the size of the partition in bytes | 12:31 |
| zorglu_ | mmance: im would be highly surprised if it wasnt possible to do 180000 file/dir. on the other hand, im sure itwill be slow :) | 12:32 |
| mmance | well, I guess I will let you know, thought someone might know before I have to do it | 12:33 |
| mmance | I read that XFS has higher limits, if i really need to I can create a xfs partition for the project | 12:33 |
| Dragnslcr | mmance- so a 250 GB hard drive would have about 30 million inodes total | 12:33 |
| mmance | thats total files on disc though, is it not? | 12:34 |
| Dragnslcr | Yeah | 12:34 |
| mmance | not per directory | 12:34 |
| mmance | thats different | 12:34 |
| Dragnslcr | It doesn't matter, actually | 12:34 |
| zorglu_ | mmance: naive question, what need that many file in a single dir ? | 12:34 |
| Dragnslcr | It isn't possible to have that many files on a disk anyway | 12:35 |
| Dragnslcr | Since a file always takes up at least one block | 12:35 |
| Dragnslcr | So in practice, there is no limit to the number of files you can have | 12:35 |
| * zorglu_ is installing hardy on virtualbox just to try the last dpkg-deb :)) | 12:35 | |
| mmance | zorglu, I have to download all these html pages, and then text process them into a single file | 12:36 |
| mmance | with awk | 12:36 |
| zorglu_ | mmance: if you are the one downloading those pages, you can trivially make a 'fake' directory arch | 12:36 |
| mmance | arch? | 12:37 |
| zorglu_ | mmance: processing directory with that many files are much slower | 12:37 |
| zorglu_ | mmance: sorry architecture | 12:37 |
| mmance | I dont understand | 12:37 |
| zorglu_ | mmance: like .com/.example/.www/blabla | 12:37 |
| Dragnslcr | mmance- then you don't need to worry | 12:37 |
| Dragnslcr | mmance- there's no way you'll have millions of files at a time | 12:37 |
| mmance | well, I have a compiled text file with a raw list of the files that I pump to wget with -i | 12:37 |
| mmance | no, only around 150-180,000 | 12:38 |
| Dragnslcr | mmance- then the answer is no, you don't have to worry about a limit to the number of files you can have | 12:38 |
| mmance | I guess the only reason I ask is cause I already ran into command limits today with the command line and 3000 files in a dir | 12:39 |
| yolnizzle | jucato: each time i use the sudo apt-get command it returns with [Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' ] | 12:39 |
| mmance | you can't run cp or mv via commandline without donig things special | 12:39 |
| zorglu_ | mmance: the issue is with the length of the command line which is 32kbyte | 12:40 |
| zorglu_ | mmance: nothing to do with the fs :) | 12:40 |
| mmance | i know, i wasn't corrulating the tech, just my thoughts | 12:40 |
| zorglu_ | ok | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | this is when xargs comes in handy. :) | 12:40 |
| yolnizzle | each time i use the sudo apt-get command it returns with [Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' ] | 12:41 |
| Dragnslcr | Ooh, new kernel image this morning | 12:41 |
| mmance | well, either way, ill let you all know the outcome | 12:41 |
| LukeL | hello | 12:49 |
| snegoviK | hello people.... for some reason x-server stopped starting on boot. i tried the following: sudo update-rc.d -f kdm remove / sudo update-rc.d -f kdm defaults. I also tried renaming the symbolic link so that x11-common starts before kdm. Finally i tried runnin #init 5. These dont do anything :/ | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | snegoviK, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | ? | 12:50 |
| snegoviK | will do | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | I wonder if kdm is just crashing on you. :) | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | can you run 'sudo kdm' ? | 12:50 |
| snegoviK | oh i m kdm now | 12:50 |
| snegoviK | i just have to do startx every boot | 12:50 |
| romunov | snegoviK: what error do you get? | 12:51 |
| romunov | i've been experiencing a similar problem with kdm - i have to startx on every boot | 12:51 |
| snegoviK | romunov: errors during boot? | 12:51 |
| romunov | yepp | 12:51 |
| romunov | sweet: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: kdm is broken or not fully installed | 12:52 |
| snegoviK | same here actually :] | 12:52 |
| romunov | i did apt-get install kde to see what happens | 12:52 |
| romunov | it will install "menu" package | 12:52 |
| snegoviK | hm now that you mention it i did remove loads of kde apps which i dont need | 12:53 |
| snegoviK | maybe i removed something vital by accident | 12:53 |
| yolnizzle | did you tamper with you display driver ? mine crashed when i tried to use a sis driver inplace of my vesa | 12:54 |
| snegoviK | nah. this started after i removed kde4 | 12:54 |
| romunov | all i changed was install kde4 and then uninstalled it | 12:54 |
| romunov | ^_^ | 12:54 |
| snegoviK | rofl | 12:54 |
| snegoviK | then i had to reinstall kde3 because kde4 removed loads of crap | 12:54 |
| romunov | hum, i suspect you're my evil twin brother | 12:54 |
| snegoviK | haha :] | 12:55 |
| romunov | did you have K3b (burning dvds and cds)? | 12:55 |
| snegoviK | i still do | 12:55 |
| snegoviK | i reinstalled kde3 | 12:55 |
| yolnizzle | no | 12:55 |
| romunov | it uninstalled that as well, along the packages it had installed for kd4 | 12:55 |
| romunov | snegoviK: what did you find wrong with kde4? | 12:56 |
| yolnizzle | sorry i still have k3b i just neva used it | 12:56 |
| snegoviK | romunov: kwrite/kate constantly crash on start | 12:56 |
| romunov | how about desktop icons? did they behave ok? | 12:56 |
| romunov | i kept losing the "wrap" around them | 12:56 |
| snegoviK | yea i think so | 12:56 |
| romunov | and moving the wrap on one side of the desktop moved its corresponding icon on the other end of the desktop | 12:56 |
| romunov | really weird | 12:57 |
| snegoviK | nah the only prob i had with kde4 is crashing | 12:57 |
| romunov | i'll give it a few more weeks before reinstalling | 12:57 |
| romunov | and i'll probably do a fresh install | 12:57 |
| JuJuBee | Is there a quic way to flush my routing table other than using sudo route del... commands? | 12:57 |
| snegoviK | ok i installed menu as you said, dpkg-reconfigure works now | 12:57 |
| snegoviK | i will reboot see how that goes | 12:57 |
| snegoviK | thnx a lot all | 12:57 |
| romunov | report back | 12:58 |
| snegoviK | sure | 12:58 |
| yolnizzle | does any one know the detailed [code lines ] for installing ms-dos on a kubuntu | 12:58 |
| SlimeyPete | yolnizzle: ms-dos? You mean in a virtual machine? | 12:58 |
| yolnizzle | yep | 12:59 |
| Lord_Drachenblut | yolnizzle: you could always use dosbox if you are trying to run old dos games | 12:59 |
| SlimeyPete | yeah, dosbox is easiest | 12:59 |
| SlimeyPete | !dosbox | 12:59 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dosbox - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 12:59 |
| SlimeyPete | hrm | 12:59 |
| Jucato | !info dosbox | 12:59 |
| ubotu | dosbox (source: dosbox): A x86 emulator with Tandy/Herc/CGA/EGA/VGA/SVGA graphics, sound and DOS. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.71-0.1 (gutsy), package size 658 kB, installed size 2096 kB | 12:59 |
| SlimeyPete | better. | 12:59 |
| Jucato | if you want package info, use !info <package name> | 12:59 |
| Dr_Willis | dosbox is a lot of fun | 12:59 |
| Lord_Drachenblut | yolnizzle: but if dosbox won't work for you and you need a virtual machine you could check out virtualbox | 13:00 |
| Dr_Willis | dosbox has played about every dos game ive tossed at it. | 13:00 |
| SlimeyPete | yeah, it's pretty-much perfect. | 13:00 |
| yolnizzle | hope dosbox doesnt need to be compiled | 13:01 |
| Dr_Willis | yolnizzle, why would it.. its in the repos. :) | 13:01 |
| Lord_Drachenblut | So what are the thoughts on 8.04 so far? | 13:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Unless of course you want/need the absoulte latest version. | 13:02 |
| yolnizzle | my repos dont work ! | 13:02 |
| yolnizzle | each time i use the sudo apt-get command it returns with [Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' ] | 13:02 |
| romunov | the servers arent up? | 13:03 |
| Lord_Drachenblut | romunov: I was just in the process of doing some updates so i don't think it's the servers | 13:03 |
| Dr_Willis | yolnizzle, server may be down. | 13:04 |
| Dr_Willis | or yur dns server may be confused. | 13:04 |
| Dr_Willis | remove the us. from the lines in sources.list and try again? | 13:04 |
| yolnizzle | okay | 13:05 |
| dreamcoder | does anyone know where i can get a repositories list | 13:05 |
| Dr_Willis | !repositories | 13:06 |
| ubotu | The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | !easysource | 13:06 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about easysource - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | !source-o-matic | 13:06 |
| ubotu | source-o-matic is not available anymore, please use Software Sources (in your Applications / K menu) to configure your repositories. Do NOT enable "Proposed updates" unless you're willing to test possibly seriously flawed packages. | 13:07 |
| LamerMan | hi everyone! i use konqueror + fish:// for secure file transfer. After i first entered my password for a remote host, it does not ask for the password anymore. Even if i delete the key from /home/.ssh/ , it doesn't ask for password. Is it kept somewhere in konqueror? how can i delete it? | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. the kwallet perhaps? | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | i alwyas forget about fish:// and end up using sshfs | 13:08 |
| fabiano | hello | 13:09 |
| niall_ | hi | 13:09 |
| jussi01 | Does anyone know how to create styled arrows in krita? | 13:09 |
| niall_ | is there a way to revert to just the packages that would be there in a clean install, without reinstalling :x | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | niall_, not that i know of. | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | You could find a list I guess. and start removing whats not in the list. | 13:10 |
| LamerMan | Dr_Willis, it's not kwallet, unfortunatelly | 13:12 |
| yolnizzle | niall you could try using open office to create it or try downloading open euclide from [autopackage.org/packages] | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | LamerMan, no idea. ive never noticed it saving the passwords.. good luck. | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl . | 13:13 |
| yolnizzle | can any one remind me of how to edit my source list | 13:14 |
| Lord_Drachenblut | yolnizzle: /etc/apt/sources.list | 13:14 |
| guardian | hmm | 13:15 |
| romunov | sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.lis | 13:15 |
| guardian | i thought hardy alpha 4 would come with kde4 by default | 13:15 |
| romunov | sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list | 13:15 |
| guardian | doesn't seem to be the case | 13:15 |
| guardian | did i miss something ? | 13:15 |
| Tobias_S | hi what is the channle for Swedish Kubuntu? | 13:15 |
| Jucato | !kdesu | romunov and yolnizzle | 13:15 |
| Jucato | hm... | 13:15 |
| Jucato | !ping | 13:15 |
| ubotu | ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore | 13:15 |
| Jucato | hahah | 13:15 |
| Jucato | !kdesu | 13:16 |
| ubotu | In KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 13:16 |
| Jucato | there.. romunov & yolnizzle ^^^ | 13:16 |
| Lord_Drachenblut | guardian: hardy is slated to be a LTS release so i think there holding off on kde 4 until 8.10 because of that | 13:16 |
| Jucato | !se | Tobias_S | 13:16 |
| guardian | oh | 13:16 |
| ubotu | Tobias_S: Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du pa #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se | 13:16 |
| guardian | i see | 13:16 |
| romunov | Jucato: interesting, i never knew that | 13:16 |
| romunov | althoug i usually use "sudo nano.." | 13:16 |
| Jucato | Lord_Drachenblut: no. guardian: no | 13:16 |
| niall_ | ;/ | 13:16 |
| niall_ | i've totally broken my install | 13:16 |
| Jucato | Kubuntu Hardy will not be LTS, as decreed by Canonical. Kubuntu Hardy will come in 2 versions, one with KDE 3.5.8 (or 9) by default, and one with KDE 4.0.x | 13:17 |
| romunov | Jucato: what's the difference? :D | 13:18 |
| Jucato | romunov: of what? | 13:18 |
| Lord_Drachenblut | as decreed by the mighty canonical.... Sorry i don't keep up with what they say | 13:18 |
| Jucato | Lord_Drachenblut: been a hot issue since January :) | 13:19 |
| Jucato | er.. since Dec. iirc | 13:19 |
| yolnizzle | please where do i find my sources list for apt-get and how do i edit it without having to delete it first | 13:20 |
| Lord_Drachenblut | Jucato: well glad to see it's not going to be lts then, i been to busy lately to keep up with that news lately, and that kde4.X.X will be a out the gate option | 13:20 |
| neville | What's the command to tell my computer to shutdown in 30 minutes? | 13:20 |
| yolnizzle | !apt-get | 13:20 |
| Jucato | yolnizzle: the GUI way: K Menu -> System -> Adept Manager... once running. Adept menu -> Manage Repositories. | 13:20 |
| ubotu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 13:20 |
| Jucato | yolnizzle: the text edit way: Alt+F2, "kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list" | 13:21 |
| romunov | Jucato: between sudo and kdesudo.. other than the "kde" part :) | 13:21 |
| Whitman | neville, sudo shutdown -h +30 | 13:21 |
| Jucato | romunov: you didn't read? | 13:21 |
| yolnizzle | 10ks jucato | 13:21 |
| neville | Okay, thank you very much Whitman =] | 13:22 |
| romunov | Jucato: oops, sorry, missed the url | 13:23 |
| christophe_ | Hi ! I've installed compiz and I can't stand that my windows stick to the screen border .. any ideas how to remove it ? | 13:25 |
| yolnizzle | you guy here have been very good to me today im really greatful especially jucato & Dr watts 10ks a bunch guys | 13:25 |
| mefisto_ | I'm on (upgraded) gutsy, but I still have kdesu installed and kdesudo is not installed. Is it important to use kdesudo with gutsy or is kdesu the same? | 13:26 |
| kristjan_ | !ipv6 | 13:27 |
| ubotu | To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 | 13:27 |
| Jucato | mefisto_: well, kdesudo has some added benefits over kdesu, but you don't absolutely need to. if/when you upgrade to hardy, it might be installed anyway | 13:27 |
| kristjan_ | speaking of kdesudo - does anyone remeber then kubuntu 7.10 beta releases "kdesudo" application used user kde preferences? why did it change in final release? | 13:30 |

| FaiDillinGer | maybe with vlc ? | 14:45 |
| combinio | FaiDillinGer: but it looks i have no codecs :/ | 14:46 |
| SlimeyPete | I think mplayer will play them, but you may need the w32codecs | 14:46 |
| werner__ | vlc has many codecs within ... make a try? | 14:47 |
| genii | Isn't rmvb a Real Player format? | 14:47 |
| werner__ | www.fileformats.com or so ... | 14:47 |

| SlimeyPete | oh right. | 14:58 |
| genii | skar: There is one called getlibs but it is unsupported | 14:58 |

| BluesKaj | skar, ia32libs | 15:00 |
| skar | genii: nope, i remember using 32 bit apps natively on 64 bit systems | 15:00 |
| skar | BluesKaj: yup that's it, thanks a lot to you all :) | 15:00 |
| skar | BluesKaj: hmm ia32libs doesn't exist in the repo package list? wonder if i need to add a extra repo to the sources?!?! | 15:02 |
| skar | BluesKaj: ok found it, stupid me :) | 15:03 |
| werner__ | skar: and whats the solution? | 15:03 |
| skar | werner__: install the ia32-libs package, that's it, the loader will load these 32 bit libs for the 32 bit binaries we run :) | 15:04 |
| skar | werner__: i used to install 32bit vmware inside 64bit ubuntu like this | 15:04 |
| werner__ | ah, ok, i see ... what else :) | 15:04 |

| nyp4life | i have a wifi issue.. every time i use a bittorrent client i get kicked off my wireless network and cant get back on unless i restart.. any dieas | 16:15 |

| nyp4life | i tried lowering my global connections to 60 (someone suggested) but didn't work | 16:16 |
| Webbmaster | stdin: does that help? | 16:17 |
| stdin | Webbmaster: it does, I'll need to reupload kde4libs :p | 16:18 |
| Webbmaster | ah | 16:18 |
| Webbmaster | and once you have, it should work nicely | 16:18 |
| BluesKaj | nyp4life, have you configured the ports on the wireless gateway to work with the torrent client ports such as 6881 & 4444 in ktorrent ? | 16:22 |
| BluesKaj | nyp4life, TCP ports | 16:22 |
| nyp4life | i changed the ports to 50055.. same as i did in winxp n it works fine, just doesn't keep me on fo long | 16:23 |
| nyp4life | i tried four different clients.. currently with utorrent and wine | 16:23 |
| Whitman | Ok, odd problem. I'm trying to get a monitor to not go into standby after idle. I've unticked the box in the monitor power management settings and even commented out 'Option "DPMS"' in xorg.conf (and restarted x of course) yet the monitor still goes into standby mode. | 16:24 |
| Whitman | And this is on kubuntu 7.10 | 16:24 |
| BluesKaj | aha , utorrent is ok in wine for a while then it slows ...i tried that setupo too , not satisfactory in my experience. | 16:25 |
| nyp4life | so far utorrent has kept me on the network longest for some reason (~15 mins) | 16:25 |
| nyp4life | ktorrent and bittorrent (and i think bittornado was the other one) have kicked me off right away (~2mins) | 16:26 |

| nyp4life | no mattter what client i use i get kicked off | 16:30 |
| Lynoure | nyp4life: probably a matter of weird ap settings, then | 16:30 |
| nyp4life | can i fix this? | 16:30 |
| * BluesKaj doesn't understand the use of higher numbered ports | 16:31 | |
| nyp4life | well apparently port 6881 is blocked by some ISP's so its recommended to change ports to something over 50000 | 16:31 |
| nyp4life | or so i hear.. | 16:31 |
| Lynoure | nyp4life: really hard to tell without even knowing what your access point is, and more of an ap problem than kubuntu problem. | 16:31 |
| nyp4life | but it works fine in winxp.. | 16:32 |
| nyp4life | i have a linksys wrt54gp2 router if that helps.. | 16:32 |
| Lynoure | nyp4life: if it was blocked, it would just not work... you would not get kicked off your wireless (unless it has some weird weird configuration and our ISP wanted to punish you) | 16:32 |
| nyp4life | exactly.. so i dont no what the issue is | 16:32 |
| BluesKaj | 6881 is blocked on some euro torrent sites , like piratebay , which is being prosecuted as we speak | 16:32 |

| Lynoure | nyp4life: they are under /var/log, daemon or syslog might be the most relevant | 16:36 |
| phoenixz | stdin, you know something about the KDE4 repo causing adept manager to remove a bunch of packages it should _not_ remove? | 16:36 |

| mneptok | n1tro: checked all the output levels in alsamixer? | 17:25 |
| n1tro | hmm.. just a sec | 17:25 |
| n1tro | You're not talking about KMix ? | 17:26 |
| mneptok | no, alsamixer | 17:27 |
| mneptok | open a terminal and type "alsamixer" (no quotes)\ | 17:27 |
| n1tro | okay :D | 17:27 |
| n1tro | everything's 00 | 17:28 |
| mneptok | that would tend to make things somewhat quiet, yes. | 17:28 |
| n1tro | but I can still hear something | 17:28 |
| n1tro | but very low still | 17:28 |
| BluesKaj | n1tro, make sure the slider ctrls are up to 71% or so | 17:28 |
| nyp4life_ | Lynoure i downloaded drivers from realtek and i get errors in the first step of installation..... | 17:29 |
| nyp4life_ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54877/ | 17:29 |

| n1tro | thanks guys | 17:29 |
| BluesKaj | ok good | 17:29 |
| n1tro | btw, i wouldn't want to mind you with more questions but because this is a great channel i was just wondering if it's possible to be on two different irc server with Konversation? | 17:32 |
| n1tro | i don't wanna leave this channel because of quakenet ^^ | 17:32 |
| vedavox | n1tro: dunno about konverstaion, but try kvirc, it supports multiple servers easily | 17:33 |
| n1tro | oki :) | 17:33 |
| Jucato | n1tro: of course it's possible | 17:34 |
| Lynoure | nyp4life_: hmm, that does not really look like anything easily fixed, more like fault in the makedrv | 17:34 |
| n1tro | hmm.. quick reboot for irc | 17:34 |
| Jucato | n1tro: press F2 for the Server List and add it | 17:34 |
| nyp4life_ | as in fault from realtek? | 17:34 |
| nyp4life_ | its a good thing i live in a basement apt n have no windows to throw my computer out of... | 17:35 |

| Maxim000 | can't set font size in firefox. | 17:36 |
| nyp4life_ | something i can fix myself? | 17:36 |
| n1tro | hey dudes now that i'm in a row, how can i make all links open with firefox in kubuntu? | 17:37 |
| Lynoure | nyp4life_: maybe, if you have experience with makefiles and compiling. I won't be digging into it, not worth it even if it was my device... I'd just get a pci wlan card instead in that case, as they are pretty cheap, or grr at Realtek for messing up | 17:38 |
| nyp4life_ | i see | 17:38 |
| nyp4life_ | so until then.. no torrents for me.. back to xp for a week or so lol | 17:39 |
| Lynoure | nyp4life_: if torrents trigger it, it's probably because of high traffic, so setting maximum download speed could help | 17:41 |
| Maxim000 | I set it (4 examle) 16, but it still 10 or 9 :( | 17:44 |
| nyp4life_ | someone here suggested it was the peers so i lowered them from like 300 to 40.. i have to limit the dl speed too now? or should i do that INSTEAD of the global connections | 17:44 |
| Maxim000 | ctrl++ & ctrl+- works nice | 17:44 |
| Lynoure | nyp4life_: I'd limit just the total download speed. | 17:45 |
| nyp4life_ | k | 17:45 |
| Lynoure | nyp4life_: I wouldn't think the number of peers affect this. | 17:45 |
| nyp4life_ | and im trying the drivers again and when i try exctracting the tar.gz i get errors in Ark | 17:46 |
| nyp4life_ | can i do this from command line instead? would it make a difference? | 17:47 |
| Lynoure | nyp4life_: should not make a difference, but that's tar -zxf filename for you | 17:47 |

| vedavox | techbw: if you know the mountpoint of the cd will be, prob /dev/sda, but not sure about pcmcia | 19:04 |
| techbw | i would think it would need to load some drivers for the disk, maybe i should try put the cd in and see if it will boot, have never tried | 19:06 |

| BluesKaj | hemanathan,Open adept package manager, On the menu of that screen you will want to click on Adept -> Manage Repositories. Click the Kubuntu software tab,check all the boxes "X". The same goes for the third party software tab.

| crweb | venik: you would need ipp/cups drivers for windows probably | 23:14 |
| crweb | or setup samba printer sharing on kubuntu | 23:14 |
| venik | how do I do that? | 23:14 |
| hola1 | sameone know pppoe | 23:15 |
| venik | Windows does not seem to find this printer on the network when it browses for network printers | 23:15 |
| crweb | sudo apt-get install samba | 23:15 |
| crweb | venik: thats because it is searching for Windows shared printers via Windows File Sharing | 23:15 |
| crweb | you would have to setup kubuntu for windows file sharing with samba | 23:15 |
| venik | Adept says that SAMBA is installed | 23:16 |

| venik | I was hoping to find some GUI application for setting things up, rather than editing a long conf file... ;-( | 23:23 |
| shinda | hey guys, recently I've found my computer to complete stand stills, to the point where everything is frozen and I can't ssh (computer times out off of the network after a bit also) and no response from any devices ie mouse/ keyboard, anyone know if I can find or trace what might be triggering this to happen? | 23:24 |
| ScorpKing | shinda: open konsole and type free .what does it say on the swap line? | 23:29 |
| axel_ | Hello! I've got a problem with Kile. When I try to compile a document with citations I get a warning saying that there was no .nls-file. Can anybody help me cofiguring Kile? | 23:30 |
| filo1234 | hi to all i have a problem with kbluetooth, with my telephonei cannot send files on pc | 23:34 |
| ScorpKing | shinda: it sounds like your swap is turned off. | 23:34 |
| hola1 | filo1234: have you time to answer to my question in ubuntu.it? | 23:35 |
| shinda | sorry i was just in here a minute ago, talking about random system halts, anyways it happened again, someone mentioned free in konsole, | 23:39 |
| shinda | I get for swap: Swap: 1502036 0 1502036 | 23:39 |
| ScorpKing | shinda: oh ok. swap is on then. | 23:40 |
| ScorpKing | shinda: does it stops working after a while of being logged in? | 23:42 |
| shinda | ScorpKing, it differs last time it halted was after less then 30 mins, other times longer, like maybe a day | 23:43 |
| filo1234 | hola1: maybe come on | 23:44 |
| ScorpKing | shinda: weird. anything in the logs? maybe do a ram test | 23:44 |
| shinda | ScorpKing, any idea which log in particular I should be looking at | 23:44 |
| ScorpKing | no idea | 23:44 |
| ScorpKing | error messeges or something that doesn't look right | 23:45 |
| hola1 | filo1234: are you in .it? | 23:46 |
| filo1234 | yes | 23:47 |
| shinda | ScorpKing, nothing that I could find so far, got any advice on how to do a ram test? | 23:47 |
| ScorpKing | shinda: the livecd or the last grub entry. it's usually a lack of memory that cause that as far as i know | 23:48 |
| shinda | Thanks, I'll give it a try | 23:49 |
