| stdin | CDs from shipit will have KDE4, upgrades from gutsy will stay KDE3 unless you decide to install KDE4 too | 00:09 |
| djzn | is KDE 4.0 a promise in terms of people may start looking for KDE instead of GNOME from now on? | 00:10 |
| djzn | and eventually a more closer interest on Kubuntu than Ubuntu? | 00:10 |
| stdin | KDE 4.0 is just the latest version of KDE, if you decide to use it instead of Gnome then great, if not then it's you're choice | 00:11 |
| djzn | i mean... i try try try to use GNOME, but it's a pain... | 00:11 |
| stdin | it wasn't created to directly compete with Gnome, but to be a better KDE | 00:11 |
| djzn | then I try try try to use KDE, it's another pain (too many menus, too many features, too many hundred different ways to achieve something) | 00:12 |
| Odd-rationale | djzn: Try just using a wm like *box | 00:12 |
| djzn | no, i think GNOME and KDE actually are the way to go, but it's funny how they keep "losing" it.... | 00:13 |
| Odd-rationale | djzn: My personal favorite is fluxbox | 00:14 |
| djzn | there is no functionality in fluxbox | 00:14 |

| NickPresta | You can manually add the Windows entry if you want to try. http://pastebin.ca/893310 (add that at the very bottom) but try `update-grub` first. | 01:17 |

| mdshaw89 | Hello! Any pointers to knetworkmanager? All of a sudden it stopped working! It was working fine - now it doesn't. I changed router settings, uninstalled/re-installed and nothing. | 02:55 |
| Dr_willis | Uninstalling/reinstalling is 'windows thinking' :) | 02:57 |
| jeisma | could anyone tell me how to open beryl on startup? | 02:57 |
| Dr_willis | I would say check the forums for info on that mdshaw89 it may be some common issue | 02:58 |
| sub[t]rnl | mdshaw89➜ make sure there is nothing defined in /etc/network/interfaces/ you'll only want "auto eth1" or whatever your device is. Otherwise knetworkmanager won't control it. | 02:58 |
| Dr_willis | jeisma, beryl? or compiz-fusion? | 02:58 |
| jeisma | Dr_willis beryl | 02:58 |
| sub[t]rnl | mdshaw89➜ /etc/network/interfaces | 02:59 |
| mdshaw89 | aaahhh | 02:59 |
| mdshaw89 | my /etc/network/interfaces has all kind of junk in it | 02:59 |
| Dr_willis | jeisma, Berly is basicially dead. You could lauch it from a script in .kde/Autostart i guess | 02:59 |
| mdshaw89 | okay - so looks like I need to wipe it | 03:00 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, what's wrong with Compiz-Fusion? | 03:00 |
| jeisma | NickPresta i never tried compiz-fusion | 03:01 |
| Dr_willis | time to start :) | 03:01 |
| Dr_willis | !compiz | jeisma | 03:01 |
| ubotu | jeisma: 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 | 03:01 |
| Dr_willis | !beryl | 03:01 |
| ubotu | Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 03:01 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, I would ditch Beryl and give compiz-fusion a try. It has the core features that you like in Beryl and then some. It is also more stable and updated/developed | 03:01 |
| juan | jeisma keep a beryl install if possible, alot of Beryls features remain unported | 03:02 |
| NickPresta | juan, like what? | 03:03 |
| tyson_ | does compiz fusion work well on gutsy kubunt? | 03:03 |
| NickPresta | tyson_, yep. | 03:03 |
| jeisma | NickPresta i followed your advice and i just removed beryl and goin onto compiz | 03:03 |
| juan | input redirection (a major set back for may thins), switching to top of cube | 03:03 |
| mdshaw89 | Now my ath0 won't enable at all???? | 03:04 |
| mdshaw89 | device shows up in ifconfig | 03:04 |
| NickPresta | juan, okay. Fair enough (although there are more than enough faces on the cube that you don't need the top). I would hardly consider those "alot of Beryls features" | 03:05 |
| tyson_ | should i get compiz or compiz-kde? | 03:05 |
| NickPresta | tyson_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion Read the section on Installing (for Kubuntu) | 03:06 |
| juan | the input redirection 'hack' allowed stuff alot functionality that wont hit compiz for along time, the tob/bottom cube makes a nice screenlock and is also a very nice way to see all your desktops at the same time/get to a desktop fast | 03:06 |
| jeisma | NickPresta how will i go about making this compiz start on startup? | 03:06 |
| juan | compiz-kde | 03:06 |

| jeisma | juan what do you mean sessions? i don't now what that means | 03:07 |
| sub[t]rnl | compiz-kde only contains a window decorator for compiz that looks like kwin. | 03:08 |
| jeisma | COuld someone tell me how to get rid of the tooltips that come up when you do a mouseover the windows or any icon on the bottom bar menu | 03:08 |
| juan | kde by default keeps all your aplications, so when u start up the programs you were using last time you shut down, also start, if you use session compiz gets saved | 03:08 |
| jeisma | including the taskbar, and hwen you hover over windows | 03:08 |
| jeisma | i guess i don't use session juan | 03:08 |

| NickPresta | juan, what happens when you run: sudo aptitude dist-upgrade | 03:13 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, have you install compiz-fusion? | 03:13 |
| jeisma | NickPresta and now none of my windows have headers?? help! | 03:13 |

| jeisma | could not run the specified command i mean | 03:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | well of course | 03:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it's part of the previous line | 03:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you don't have window decorations because you don't have a window decorator | 03:15 |
| jeisma | ok soo how do i get that? | 03:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager emerald librsvg2-common | 03:15 |

| jeisma | no i already did that | 03:15 |
| armadill0 | jeisma, ok | 03:15 |
| juan | not sure ill try it once i diside which version of the file i need to keep | 03:15 |
| jeisma | armadill0 and hten everything shakes a bit, goes black for a sec and then that's it | 03:16 |
| Daisuke_Ido | jeisma: use the command i gave you | 03:16 |
| jeisma | armadaill0 oh i did it again and they're back.. | 03:16 |
| jeisma | Daisuke_Ido i already did that as aprt of the command above wen i installed everything | 03:16 |
| armadill0 | jeisma, ok. so, that command works? | 03:16 |
| jeisma | armadill0 yup | 03:16 |
| armadill0 | jeisma, great. was that the only problem? | 03:17 |
| jeisma | armadill0 well i want to be able to do the same things as beryl how do i open compiz and do that? | 03:17 |
| armadill0 | jeisma, you can control a great deal of compiz with ccsm | 03:17 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, the compiz setting manager is called ccsm. | 03:18 |
| armadill0 | jeisma, you can run that command, "ccsm" | 03:18 |

| armadill0 | jeisma, and if you have it you can run "emerald-theme-manager" | 03:18 |
| jeisma | armadill0 and NickPresta i ran ccsm and it said could not run specific command | 03:19 |
| armadill0 | jeisma, you may have some packages missing | 03:19 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, did you run: sudo apt-get install compiz-kde compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compizconfig-settings-manager emerald librsvg2-common | 03:19 |
| NickPresta | all one line | 03:19 |

| sub[t]rnl | -f is fix broken dependencies | 03:21 |
| NickPresta | it will fix broken depends | 03:21 |
| NickPresta | and sub[t]rnl beats me again.. :) | 03:21 |
| sub[t]rnl | hehe | 03:21 |
| jeisma | i just tried again and it didn't work? | 03:21 |
| * sub[t]rnl goes back to the corner | 03:21 | |
| jeisma | or did i need need to try and install it again? | 03:21 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, after you run: sudo apt-get -f install, it should have resolved all the dependency issues and everything should be installed properly. does `ccsm` not work? | 03:22 |
| jeisma | NickPresta ccsm still does not work | 03:22 |
| jeisma | can i somehow just remove all of this and someone walk me thorugh it? | 03:22 |
| jeisma | or can someone just figure out what's wrong cause i have no idea | 03:23 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, the instructions really aren't harder than described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion#head-1447dbabe59744a63cad770f4d2143fb45cb4aad | 03:23 |
| jeisma | yeah i did all of that | 03:23 |
| jeisma | except that stuff before updating | 03:23 |
| jeisma | cause im on gutsy | 03:23 |
| jeisma | 7.10 is gutsy right? | 03:23 |
| NickPresta | yes | 03:23 |
| jeisma | so that's correct then? | 03:23 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, yep. | 03:24 |
| jeisma | so what's the problem? | 03:24 |
| jeisma | i tried installing those things again and it said they're broken packages again | 03:24 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, and you ran 'sudo apt-get -f install'? | 03:24 |
| jeisma | yup and i did that again | 03:25 |
| jeisma | what type of output should i get cause it said.. | 03:25 |
| jeisma | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 03:25 |
| jeisma | should they all be 0? | 03:25 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, that should indicate that everything is working fine. | 03:25 |
| Creationist | Could someone please tell me how to disable TwinView in xorg.conf? | 03:25 |
| jeisma | NickPresta but i type in ccsm and nothing happens except it saying could not do specificed command or whatever | 03:26 |
| NickPresta | Creationist, you can do it easily in `nvidia-settings` | 03:26 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, run: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 03:27 |
| jeisma | i thought that was only got ubuntu? | 03:27 |
| Creationist | Creationist: How do I do that? Setting it to use "Separate Monitor" instead of twinview doesn't add the necessary line to xorg.conf. Disabling TwinView in xorg.conf is the only way I've found to fix my refresh rate problem. | 03:27 |
| jeisma | ok done | 03:27 |
| jeisma | now what? | 03:27 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, now you should be able to start 'ccsm' | 03:28 |
| jeisma | NickPresta well i typed it in, and then nothing happened this time | 03:28 |
| jeisma | NickPresta rather than it saying specificed command blah blah | 03:28 |
| Creationist | NickPresta: How do I do that? Setting it to use "Separate Monitor" instead of twinview doesn't add the necessary line to xorg.conf. Disabling TwinView in xorg.conf is the only way I've found to fix my refresh rate problem. | 03:28 |
| juan | Creationist: how is twinview working, through xorg o throguh proprietry drivers? | 03:29 |
| draik | Is anyone here familiar with PHLAK or know where I may be able to get assistance with the apps (ie: What each app does and how to use it). | 03:29 |
| NickPresta | Creationist, you go to the second list item (Display Configuration) and then click on Configure beside the Configuration option (which should be set to twinview). Set it to separate screens. Then make sure you save to X configuration file. Doesn't that work? | 03:29 |
| Creationist | juan: I have no idea... | 03:29 |
| Creationist | NickPresta: No, it's always been set to separate screen. | 03:29 |
| NickPresta | juan, AFAIK, twinview is unique to nvidia GPUs which support dual-display functionality. | 03:29 |
| Creationist | NickPresta: I remember disabling twinview in xorg.conf was the only thing that allowed me to use my monitor's native 60hz refresh rate... Unless you know of a different way. | 03:30 |
| jeisma | NickPresta anything? | 03:30 |
| jeisma | anyone know why my compiz won't work? | 03:30 |
| jeisma | i think i may try beryl again and hit up | 03:30 |
| juan | they evolved into 1, wierd stuff happens with x sometimes its worth checking the setting for nvidia settings | 03:30 |
| juan | jeisma was beryl working fine? | 03:31 |
| Creationist | jeisma: What version of Kubuntu are you running and what do you mean by "won't work?" | 03:31 |
| NickPresta | Creationist, I don't know how to set the refresh rate. I let mine setup automatically (at 50Hz right now). | 03:31 |
| Creationist | NickPresta: Yeah, mine automatically set to 50 as well, but that makes things a bit fuzzy and hard on my eyes. | 03:31 |
| ubuzztu | is there a usb bootable kubuntu? | 03:31 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, so typing `ccsm` from the command line doesn't give any output but it doesn't open up? | 03:32 |
| jeisma | juan yeah it was working fine, i just wanted it to startup when i started the computer | 03:32 |
| jeisma | NickPresta correct | 03:32 |
| jeisma | Creationist 7.1 and i mean some things look different but i can't change anything | 03:32 |
| tyson_ | is there a way to avoid having to type in my password to kwallet everytime i connect to the internet with my wifi? | 03:32 |
| NickPresta | Creationist, check out ftp://download.nvidia.com/solaris/1.0-8178/README/appendix-g.html It has details on setting rates and such with Twinview. | 03:33 |
| Creationist | jeisma: And you've install compizconfig-settings-manager? | 03:33 |
| jeisma | Creationist yes | 03:33 |
| ubuzztu | is there a usb bootable kubuntu? | 03:33 |
| jeisma | NickPresta if you have no more ideas, im just goin to try and get bac to beryl | 03:33 |
| NickPresta | !usb | ubuzztu | 03:33 |
| ubotu | ubuzztu: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 03:33 |
| jeisma | or anyoen else for that matter? :( | 03:33 |
| affan | !printer | affan | 03:34 |
| jeisma | now how do i get rid of compiz? | 03:34 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, that is your decision, of course, to go back to Beryl. Keep in mind that Beryl won't be updated again. But if it works for you, that's fine. | 03:35 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, just retype all those install lines you executed a few minutes ago and replace "install" with "remove" | 03:35 |
| jeisma | NickPresta yeah the only problem is i can't get it to work | 03:35 |
| Creationist | jeisma: I don't understand. You say it works, but you can't change anything? | 03:35 |
| juan | you can have both installed that way you can switch to compiz and try and fix it if beryl fails | 03:35 |
| jeisma | Creationist nothing happens when i do ccsm on the command line | 03:36 |
| jeisma | Creationist i can't change anything myself but the only diff not is my window headers are transparent | 03:36 |
| juan | window boarders, try running emerald --replace | 03:37 |
| juan | ? | 03:37 |
| Creationist | jeisma: Does it report anything or just drop straight to the terminal again? | 03:37 |
| jeisma | this is what i get | 03:39 |
| jeisma | jeisma@jeisma-laptop:~$ ccsm | 03:39 |

| jeisma | and i did that in alt f2 and it just does nothing | 03:39 |
| Creationist | jeisma: Have you tried purging all compiz related packages and reinstalling? | 03:40 |
| jeisma | actually that's what i just did | 03:40 |
| jeisma | and i got that | 03:40 |
| jeisma | but there are some extra window effects i've noticed | 03:40 |
| jeisma | i didn't do that myself | 03:40 |
| jeisma | juan NickPresta should i be expecting some window to show up when i do ccsm? | 03:41 |
| jeisma | i go to settings > compiz settings manager and nothing comes up | 03:41 |
| jeisma | but i get this | 03:43 |
| jeisma | compizconfig-settings-manager is already the newest version. | 03:43 |
| juan | hmm, i dont have compiz atm clean install but all i can think is putting the menu option into a dialog and clicking run in terminal (just incase it isnt running ccsm but the other tool they made) | 03:43 |
| jeisma | when i try and install that | 03:43 |
| lokem | hi folks, is the wiki entry on compizfusion (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion) still good on 7.10? | 03:43 |
| jeisma | lokem im actually having a problem with it right now, and they told me to use that | 03:43 |
| jeisma | so if that works for you, tell me all exactly you did | 03:44 |
| lokem | jeisma: sure thing. what configuration are u using? | 03:44 |
| jeisma | what do you mean? kub7.1 | 03:44 |
| lokem | jeisma: uh.. hardware wise :) | 03:44 |
| === robotgee1 is now known as robotgeek | ||
| jeisma | lokem sorry gateway is all i know, 512mb of ram | 03:45 |
| jeisma | and not that great of a processor | 03:45 |
| lokem | jeisma: cool. instalilng it now. i'm using a latitude d630. | 03:45 |
| jeisma | lokem ok cool tell me how it goes, i just can't manage to open the sttings manager | 03:46 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, did you upgrade your Gutsy install from Feisty? Do you have any third party repositories (Treviño's, etc)? | 03:46 |
| jeisma | NickPresta i installed it from cd | 03:47 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, so this is a fresh Gutsy install? | 03:47 |
| jeisma | NickPresta yes | 03:47 |
| NickPresta | Can you post the output of `dpkg -l | grep compiz` to a pastebin | 03:47 |
| NickPresta | !pastebin | 03:47 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 03:47 |
| lokem | jeisma: odd... i can't even do a compiz --replace | 03:49 |
| juan | NickPresta: aptitude dist-upgrade wont reproduce the bug as its fixed now, i dont think im going to report it as its unfixable and unimportant | 03:49 |
| NickPresta | juan, okay | 03:49 |
| jeisma | NicPresta http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54955/ | 03:49 |
| juan | thx for all the help NickPrest & stdin | 03:49 |
| jeisma | lokem i had that trouble at beginning too.. and then it just ended up working in a min | 03:50 |
| lokem | jeisma: ahh... i know why. Xgl is not present... shesh. | 03:50 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, I found the problem (I think). You have conflicting versions. Your python-compizconfig is 0.5.2 (good) but your compizconfig-settings-manager is 0.6.99 (bad). | 03:51 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, run this: sudo apt-get remove compizconfig-settings-manager python-compizconfig | 03:51 |
| jeisma | ok done NickPresta | 03:51 |
| jeisma | now what? | 03:52 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, now, do this: sudo apt-get -V install compizconfig-settings-manager python-compizconfig | 03:52 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, paste the output of that (don't install) to a pastebin | 03:52 |
| jeisma | NickPresta you want the entire output? it's lengthy | 03:53 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, in a pastebin, sure | 03:53 |
| jeisma | ohh in apastebin ok | 03:53 |
| lokem | jeisma: eesh.... xserver-xgl is REALLY slow. | 03:53 |
| jeisma | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54957/ NickPresta | 03:53 |
| jeisma | lokem ha yeah how is it coming along for you? | 03:54 |
| lokem | jeisma: | 03:54 |
| lokem | jeisma: got it working. but it's way too slow. | 03:54 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, have you added any repositories to your sources.list? Can you pastebin the output of `cat /etc/apt/sources.list`? | 03:54 |
| jeisma | lokem at least you got it working | 03:54 |
| lokem | jeisma: true :P | 03:55 |
| jeisma | NickPresta http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54958/ | 03:55 |
| jeisma | lokem you had no trouble with your settings manager? | 03:55 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, do you notice anything funny? Comment out (put a # infront of the line) the last find. The one that looks like: deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy | 03:56 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, so type in: `kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list`. and then comment out the last line, save the file and close Kate. | 03:57 |
| jeisma | NickPresta i just put # in front? | 03:57 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, yep. # deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy | 03:58 |
| jeisma | NickPresta now what? | 03:58 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, run this: sudo apt-get remove compizconfig-settings-manager python-compizconfig | 03:58 |
| jeisma | now what | 03:59 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -V install compizconfig-settings-manager python-compizconfig | 03:59 |
| NickPresta | you should notice that the versions for the two packages are now the same. | 03:59 |
| jeisma | THEY ARE | 04:00 |
| jeisma | and now.. | 04:00 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, good. Things should work fine now. | 04:00 |
| NickPresta | run ccsm and enjoy | 04:00 |
| jeisma | I LOVE YOU | 04:00 |
| jeisma | Haha | 04:00 |
| NickPresta | you added a line to your sources.list for Feisty so you were installing an old version of cssm but the backend was a different version | 04:00 |
| NickPresta | in a sense | 04:00 |
| tekstacy | Do I NEED grub if I only have one os on the system? | 04:00 |
| jeisma | NickPresta now how do i go about using all tehse effect on compiz? | 04:01 |
| jeisma | such as cube gears.. | 04:01 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, the setting manager is fairly self explanatory. Just enable the effect and check out the key bindings for them. Then try them out | 04:01 |
| jeisma | where do you find the key bindings? | 04:02 |
| NickPresta | tekstacy, I don't know if you _need_ GRUB but if you don't want to hit enter/wait every time, you can change the default timeout to 1 second (so you don't notice the GRUB menu) | 04:02 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, if the plugin has a key binding, you can usually find an Action tab in the effect window. | 04:03 |
| tekstacy | Oh, duh, forgot that. Thanks! :) | 04:03 |
| NickPresta | tekstacy, do you know how to do that? | 04:03 |
| tekstacy | yeah, done it a few times. Guess I just had a brain freeze | 04:04 |
| NickPresta | tekstacy, ah okay. :) | 04:04 |
| NickPresta | and if no one else has any other pressing matters, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight all. | 04:04 |
| tekstacy | I'm building a system to use remaster-sys to make a cool live cd | 04:05 |
| jeisma | NickPresta ok last question, i just want to get the desktop cube to work how do i do that? it says ctrl alt down and nothing ahppens | 04:05 |
| jeisma | anyone know what Super means? | 04:06 |
| jeisma | as a key | 04:06 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, you actually want the Rotate Cube plugin. Check it off, press "control" and "alt" and left click yourmouse button and move left/right/whatever | 04:06 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, and the Super key is usually the Windows Key (between Control and Alt on some keyboards) | 04:07 |
| jeisma | NickPresta how come it's not a cube though? its just a plane rotating | 04:07 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, do you have the Desktop Cube plugin enabled or the Rotate Cube plugin enabled? | 04:08 |
| jeisma | i think both actually | 04:08 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, good. | 04:08 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, if you press Control+Alt+Down, it unfolds. If you press Control+Alt+Left Mouse click and move the mouse, it is a cube. | 04:08 |
| jeisma | NickPresta when i do down it down't do anything | 04:10 |
| NickPresta | jeisma, hmm. you will just have to play with it. You can join #compiz-fusion (/join #compiz-fusion) and ask in there. They can help you. | 04:10 |
| jeisma | ok thanks | 04:10 |

| boggystudios | How do I force ffmpeg to us mp3 as the audio codec? | 05:28 |
| sub[t]rnl | with the -acodec option? | 05:30 |
| sub[t]rnl | i.e. -acodec libmp3lame | 05:30 |
| boggystudios | it won't take libmp3lame | 05:31 |
| sub[t]rnl | whats the error? | 05:32 |
| boggystudios | it just says "Unknown encoder 'libmp3lame'" | 05:33 |
| sub[t]rnl | ah, you need to install it then | 05:33 |
| sherl0k | the ffmpeg compile in ubuntu does not have mp3 support built in i believe | 05:34 |
| sherl0k | you need to compile ffmpeg manually and add in the codecs, it's all in the readme | 05:34 |
| boggystudios | yes this is true but I have already compiled ffmpeg with mp3 support | 05:35 |
| Jucato | is lame installed? | 05:36 |
| boggystudios | yes | 05:36 |
| Jucato | how about plain -acodec mp3? | 05:36 |
| boggystudios | that was the first one I tried, lol | 05:37 |
| Jucato | hm... | 05:37 |
| sub[t]rnl | maybe check what you codecs you have installed | 05:38 |
| sub[t]rnl | if you have mencoder, do mencoder -oac help | 05:38 |

| sub[t]rnl | chupie➜ have you looked into GOLB and openGoGear | 06:29 |
| chupie | no, i haven't | 06:30 |
| sub[t]rnl | look into those, MTP isn't supported in linux natively, but there are packages to get it supported | 06:31 |
| chupie | ah, k | 06:31 |
| coolbhavi | I have a geforce 4 card | 06:32 |
| sub[t]rnl | libmtp/mtpfs for support | 06:32 |
| coolbhavi | does it run compiz? | 06:32 |
| holycow | it will | 06:32 |
| coolbhavi | with 512MB ram 3 ghz PD | 06:32 |
| holycow | no | 06:33 |
| holycow | i have a umpc | 06:33 |
| holycow | 800mhz cpu that scales down to 600mhz | 06:33 |
| holycow | generic intel video acceleration | 06:33 |
| holycow | 1 gig ram | 06:33 |
| holycow | compiz is super fast on it | 06:33 |
| coolbhavi | OK | 06:33 |
| coolbhavi | :) | 06:33 |
| holycow | no glitches, drag or tare (as there shouldun't be with offscreen compositing anyway) | 06:33 |
| neville | Because, even though it's dodgey at heart, it's very lite | 06:33 |
| coolbhavi | OK | 06:34 |
| holycow | they really have done an amazing job at showing just what can be done with offscreen compositing with properly accelerated ogl hardware | 06:35 |
| neville | It's amazing on the whole, isn't it? | 06:39 |
| holycow | yeah i'm really enjoying the creativity of the whole thing. the plugins are really amazing too | 06:40 |
| holycow | however as of kde4, warts and all, i'm sold on kwin and where its going | 06:40 |
| holycow | i think the kde level integration is the right way to do that imho | 06:41 |
| neville | And, it can only get better, which gets me jumpy, and makes me hate time for moving so slowly | 06:42 |
| holycow | lol! | 06:43 |
| holycow | i'm just so jazzed by the whole kde infrastructure after 4 | 06:43 |
| neville | Hey, maybe that means we should find some direction in our lives, before we start living only for each release of KDE :P | 06:43 |
| holycow | with all the plasma things happening ... if someone were to say sell a flash like ide for creating plasma widgets, kwin animations, etc, i would pay lots of money for it | 06:44 |
| neville | Oh yeah, I'd do the same, but I'd also have to pay for some creativity -_-v | 06:44 |
| holycow | lol | 06:45 |
| holycow | well i wish i was better with code | 06:45 |
| holycow | neville: did you know plasma widgets can be publised on the web? | 06:46 |
| holycow | i have no idea how this would work but i presume they would be flashlike in nature as they use a plugin on ff of some sort | 06:46 |
| holycow | plasma is supposed to be able to natively handle osx widgets too | 06:46 |

| patrick_ | Hallo! I have a major konqueror problem: Everytime I surf to a https site konqueror asks me where I want to save the site instead of displaying it... WHAT IS WRONG?! | 08:11 |
| voicu | shall i post the script on a pastebin? | 08:11 |
| voicu | patrick_: your dependencies are wrong, open control center and go at kde components->file associations | 08:12 |
| patrick_ | voicu: and what do I have to change there? | 08:14 |
| voicu | type html in the filter box above | 08:14 |
| voicu | you will get at least 2 results (at least on my comp): application: xhtml+xml and text: html | 08:15 |
| patrick_ | voicu: konqueror is at top. And http works. However all https sites... are wrong | 08:15 |
| voicu | hmm, then it could be a kio slave problem | 08:16 |
| voicu | patrick_: try asking in #kde | 08:17 |
| patrick_ | voicu: thanks I'll try there | 08:18 |
| Jucato | er... | 08:18 |
| Jucato | hm.. he didnt go into #kde though... | 08:19 |

| emilsedgh | s/i/it | 08:42 |

| emilsedgh | nah | 08:43 |
| emilsedgh | not pid | 08:43 |
| emilsedgh | when you pressed ctrl+z it gives you a number | 08:43 |
| emilsedgh | s/gives/gived | 08:43 |

| rockets | psi_: flash player works jsut fine under firefox | 08:57 |
| rockets | psi_: nspluginwrapper | 08:57 |
| psi_ | i could never get the 64 bit version to work | 08:57 |
| miki | i can't configure monitor and display in hardy ? | 08:57 |

| rockets | thats so not cheating. | 08:57 |
| rockets | anyway i dont care about flash player | 08:57 |
| rockets | im only using linux for work | 08:57 |
| psi_ | fair enough | 08:58 |
| rockets | i dont need flash player to set up an exchange server | 08:58 |
| psi_ | rockets: u any good with kubuntu | 08:58 |
| rockets | psi_: not really. ive been running ubuntu for like a year and just switched now to kubuntu | 08:58 |

| Fleck | psi_ :D isn't there package? | 09:01 |

| emilsedgh | there is a way that i cant remember :( | 09:06 |
| llutz | neville: set DISPLAY correctly | 09:06 |
| neville | llutz sorry if I sound stupid, but I don't quite understand what you mean >.> | 09:07 |
| llutz | you need to set the env-variable DISPLAY | 09:07 |

| Fleck | thanks jason - reading ;)) | 09:08 |
| neville | llutz would you be able to point me in the right direction with that? I have a rough idea of what that means, but no idea about how to apply it | 09:08 |
| llutz | neville: to use your 1st local running xserver you need to set "DISPLAY=:0", the 2nd would be "DISPLAY=:1" and so on. Remote servers are "DISPLAY=machinename:0" etc | 09:11 |
| llutz | neville: and of course you must have the right to open apps there (xauthority) | 09:11 |
| neville | llutz: Okay, thanks alot for the help =] | 09:11 |
| neville | Yeah, that's taken care of, it was just getting it setup that was the problem | 09:12 |

| Fleck | ok got drivers - nvdia.ko nvidia_legacy.ko and nvidia_new.ko - i need new, but kubuntu loads on starup nvidia.ko :/ | 09:52 |
| Fleck | why is that? | 09:52 |
| Sbucatone | Fleck: maybe because is not loaded in modules check it out | 09:53 |
| Fleck | i should add nvidia_new in /etc/modules ? | 09:53 |

| Sbucatone | Fleck: to know, but you have loaded in modules ? right ? | 10:03 |
| Makuseru | jason: no, im not | 10:03 |
| Sbucatone | Fleck: then blacklisted older module right ? | 10:04 |
| jason | yolnizzle, the games package is called kde-games, so you can sudo apt-get install kde-games, if that's what you're looking for | 10:04 |
| Fleck | Sbucatone yep i have in /etc/modules too - dunno if that works but ;) | 10:04 |
| Fleck | Sbucatone blacklist nvidia in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 10:04 |
| Sbucatone | Fleck: well done :) | 10:04 |
| Fleck | and new module is called nvidia_new | 10:04 |
| Fleck | modprobe nvidia is old | 10:05 |
| Fleck | modprobe nvidia_new is new one | 10:05 |
| Sbucatone | Fleck: yes i know it was because i have intel card and so it's a bit better supported | 10:05 |
| Sbucatone | and i was no sure | 10:05 |

| jason | yolnizzle, i'm not sure what you mean | 10:07 |
| yolnizzle | jason, my link is bad is there no code i could use to get a specific game without downloadin the whole kde pack | 10:08 |

| gundam_rx78nt1 | I have a computer with an amd64 processor. I was wondering if I should install the 64bit version of kubuntu or the 32bit. What are the differences and what would be the pro's and con's of either or? | 10:20 |
| SlimeyPete | 64bit allows you to use more than 3GB of RAM. | 10:20 |
| SlimeyPete | and there's a slight performance increase, but it's not generally noticable. | 10:20 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | well, I currently have only 2 GB on it. so that isn't a problem. | 10:20 |
| SlimeyPete | 64bit has slightly worse software support (e.g. flash), but there are workarounds for this | 10:21 |
| SlimeyPete | I'd go with 32bit if I were you, though 64bit will still be OK. | 10:21 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | SlimeyPete: where can I get those workarounds so I can read them and make a sound decision? | 10:21 |
| SlimeyPete | gundam_rx78nt1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202537 | 10:22 |
| SlimeyPete | you have to install and run 32-bit firefox, then install the flash plugin in that. | 10:22 |
| SlimeyPete | (as far as I understand it) | 10:23 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | Thanks. Now I do have one complaint:why are things broken from Fiesty to Gutsy? KDM theme manager, no able to change the resolution anything higher than 640x480 in virtual terminals (CTRL+ALT+F[1-6]), etc? | 10:24 |

| ubotu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 11:30 |
| SlimeyPete | it's the newest available. If you need a later version you'll need to compile it | 11:31 |
| SlimeyPete | or wait for the next version of Kubuntu | 11:31 |
| jussi01 | !info php5 hardy | 11:31 |
| ubotu | php5 (source: php5): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (meta-package). In component main, is optional. Version 5.2.4-2ubuntu4 (hardy), package size 1 kB, installed size 20 kB | 11:31 |
| c0rle0n3 | my version is 5.2.1 | 11:31 |
| c0rle0n3 | not this hardy | 11:31 |
| c0rle0n3 | which I want to | 11:32 |
| jussi01 | c0rle0n3: that one is in the next release of ubuntu | 11:32 |
| c0rle0n3 | humm | 11:32 |
| SlimeyPete | hardy is the next version of k/ubuntu | 11:32 |
| SlimeyPete | if you need 5.2.4, you'll need to upgrade your OS to hardy. | 11:32 |
| c0rle0n3 | there is no way to install it without upgrade my os? | 11:32 |
| SlimeyPete | compile it. | 11:32 |
| jussi01 | c0rle0n3: quite simply, you need to compile it. (or upgrade to hardy, which is still very alpha) | 11:33 |
| c0rle0n3 | maybe tar -xvzf php... | 11:33 |
| SlimeyPete | get the source from the php website and then compile it. | 11:33 |
| c0rle0n3 | I did, it says error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. | 11:33 |
| c0rle0n3 | never saw this before | 11:34 |
| SlimeyPete | yeah, you need to instal a c compiler | 11:34 |
| SlimeyPete | sudo apt-get install build-essential | 11:34 |
| c0rle0n3 | ok | 11:35 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | where can I get information on building a custom kernel using the config of the generic? I just want to add support in 2 areas. | 11:38 |
| c0rle0n3 | configure: error: xml2-config not found. Please check your libxml2 installation. libxml2 is already the newest version. libxml2 set to manual installed. | 11:38 |
| c0rle0n3 | now I'm lost | 11:38 |
| SlimeyPete | c0rle0n3: probably best to ask in #php from this point onwards, to be honest | 11:41 |
| SlimeyPete | they will know more about how to compile it | 11:41 |

| forg | Would ubuntu autorecognise a new SATA HD.

Thanks in advance. (the pci card is listed in lspci) | 11:51 |
| jussi01 | forg: I dont know which module it might need, but you may need to modprobe it to get it working | 11:52 |

| redheat | hi everyone | 12:30 |
| redheat | just a quick help would be appreciated here | 12:30 |
| redheat | right now I'm writing from my laptop | 12:30 |
| redheat | I'm trying to install Kubuntu with KDE4 on my system, but after I have inserted the DVD and waited to login into the destkop manager nothing happened | 12:31 |
| redheat | anyone? | 12:31 |
| redheat | helloo | 12:31 |
| SlimeyPete | patience. | 12:31 |
| redheat | ok | 12:31 |
| SlimeyPete | you're probably best-off asking in #kubuntu-kde4. You'll need to be patient though - people don't watch IRC 24/7 so it may take a few minutes or longer to get an answer. | 12:32 |
| SlimeyPete | :) | 12:32 |
| n1tro | SlimeyPete: the command nice doesn't work :E | 12:33 |
| redheat | slimeypete, the problem has nothing to do with KDE4, but with why the installation process didn't go straight to | 12:33 |
| redheat | to the GUI manager? | 12:33 |
| redheat | It just hanged there | 12:33 |
| redheat | you know that initial screen after you choose install KDE, where a lot of preinstalla scripts are initiated.. | 12:34 |
| redheat | and then it flickered for a while, and it didn't log me in into the GUI, the funny thing, when I inserted the DVD into my laptop, I went to the GUI with no problems at all | 12:34 |
| SlimeyPete | n1tro: it doesn't? You mean it doesn't run? | 12:34 |
| SlimeyPete | redheat: sounds like it's misrecognising your graphics card | 12:35 |
| redheat | that's what I thought...NOt again I mean for crying out loud | 12:35 |
| n1tro | i write "nice file:///home/n1tro/.wine/drive_c/Ohjelmatiedostot/World of Warcraft/Wow.exe" and nothing happens | 12:35 |
| redheat | this is too much.. | 12:35 |
| redheat | I just bought a new LCD Monitor and a new Graphics Card.. | 12:35 |
| redheat | it is a DELL Ultrashartp 20" monitor, and the new 8800 GTX card.. | 12:36 |
| redheat | SlimeyPete, what can I do to get around this, I just pressed enter on the desktop, and it got me to the Ubuntu command line | 12:36 |
| SlimeyPete | redheat: 8800GTX might be too new for the nvidia drivers, I would suggest googling a bit ofind out about compatibility | 12:36 |
| redheat | and I looged in as root | 12:37 |
| SlimeyPete | redheat: well, you could edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and try enabling the "vesa" driver instead | 12:37 |
| SlimeyPete | n1tro: that's not how you use nice. Hang on, I'll find you a web page | 12:37 |
| redheat | would this work, since I haven't installed Kubuntu? | 12:37 |
| n1tro | why doesn't he just go to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and just disable his current graphics drivers? | 12:38 |
| redheat | I was thinking of using the Safe graphics mode | 12:38 |
| redheat | n1tro, I haven't even installed Kubuntu yet, you know what I'm saying.. | 12:38 |
| SlimeyPete | n1tro: try http://www.newlinuxuser.com/howto-change-process-priority-using-the-nice-command/ | 12:38 |
| n1tro | wtf :D | 12:38 |
| redheat | I mean this is happening right from the instlalation page | 12:38 |
| SlimeyPete | redheat: should still work :) You can edit the file and then restart x. | 12:39 |
| n1tro | well that's very weird | 12:39 |
| n1tro | SlimeyPete: sorry but that link isn't working :D | 12:39 |
| SlimeyPete | ah right. It doesn't work for me either but I am having connection problems at the moment so lots of stuff doesn't work ;) | 12:40 |
| SlimeyPete | I'll look for another | 12:40 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ajuda - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 12:40 |
| n1tro | stupid kubuntu, everybody should know that wow has number one priority :D | 12:40 |
| SlimeyPete | aha, google rocks | 12:40 |

| SlimeyPete | that's the google-cache text | 12:41 |
| n1tro | but slimey that means i need to run that nice everytime | 12:42 |
| n1tro | i play wow | 12:42 |
| n1tro | that's just stupid ;o | 12:42 |
| redheat | Slimey, you won't believe this, I just typed startx and it gave me fatal error..NO SCREENS FOUND would you believe that? | 12:42 |
| redheat | anyhow..gotta go and check for answer for this crap.. | 12:43 |
| redheat | thank you so much SlimeyPete, and you too n1tro.. | 12:43 |
| redheat | thank you folks..truly appreciate it.. | 12:44 |
| n1tro | laters :) | 12:44 |
| SlimeyPete | n1tro: not really stupid - you couldn't do it automatically on any other OS either. I suggest writing a quick script or alias. | 12:46 |
| n1tro | btw what do you exasctly write? nice -20 wow.exe ? | 12:46 |
| n1tro | because that doesn't seem to work | 12:47 |
| SlimeyPete | nice wow.exe -20 | 12:48 |
| SlimeyPete | or similar | 12:48 |
| SlimeyPete | well, nice wow.exe -19 unless you're root | 12:49 |

| jussi01 | dscorbin: weird, mine adjusts fine | 13:00 |
| dscorbin | jussi01: I don't even get the "two pointed cursor" when I move the mouse over the edge. | 13:01 |

| n1tro | anybody know how to set nice -20 to wine? | 13:06 |
| n1tro | or what ever programs wine uses | 13:06 |
| n1tro | because i try to write "nice wine -20" but it doesn't accept it and it doesn't accept "nice wow.exe -20" either | 13:06 |
| xt828 | what's the -20 supposed to do? | 13:07 |
| n1tro | give it the maximum priority | 13:07 |
| n1tro | over other programs | 13:07 |
| xt828 | have you tried doing it through the KDE system guard? | 13:08 |
| n1tro | nope | 13:08 |
| n1tro | but i have no idea what you're talking about | 13:08 |
| stefan_ | does someone know if yahoo has its own email blacklist servers? | 13:09 |
| xt828 | in the K Menu, under system, there's an entry KSysGuard (Performance Monitor) | 13:09 |
| xt828 | it's somewhat reminiscent of task manager in windows | 13:09 |
| ndazza | hi, how can i turn down the volume of kde system notifications? | 13:10 |
| xt828 | you can re-nice processes there by rightclicking on the process and selecting "Renice" from the options | 13:10 |
| n1tro | hey thanks :) i guess that will work fine | 13:11 |
| JohnFlux | n1tro: nice -20 wine | 13:11 |
| JohnFlux | n1tro: the order matters | 13:11 |
| JohnFlux | nice wine -20 would run "wine -20" | 13:12 |
| n1tro | JohnFlux: does it affect wow.exe the same way then? | 13:13 |
| JohnFlux | n1tro: yep | 13:13 |
| JohnFlux | n1tro: but | 13:13 |
| n1tro | ye? | 13:13 |
| JohnFlux | n1tro: that doesn't mean it's a good idea :) | 13:13 |
| n1tro | it doesn't ? :O | 13:13 |

| JohnFlux | n1tro: if you give it a very high priority, then when will X get to run to actually display it? :-) | 13:14 |
| n1tro | i have no idea.. | 13:14 |
| xt828 | annoyingly, the wine appdb is down at the moment, but when it comes back up, check there to see if there are any recommendations for running wow better | 13:15 |
| JohnFlux | n1tro: X will be your bottleneck as well. you don't want the program to have a much higher niceness than X | 13:15 |
| n1tro | okay i keep that in mind :D | 13:15 |
| n1tro | so is 15 okay? | 13:15 |
| xt828 | depends on what your X nice is | 13:15 |
| xt828 | why do you want to increase its priority, anyway? | 13:16 |

| elmargol | Hi, how can I change my default browser from lynx to firefox? (If I klick on a link on kopete it opens it using konsole + lynx) | 13:16 |
| n1tro | xt828: because for some reason my processors aren't working 100% when my wow is playing | 13:16 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | go to your kcontrol and change kde defaults | 13:16 |
| kenalex | why you guys choose kubuntu over ubuntu. does kubuntu have alot more features ? | 13:16 |
| === no0tic_ is now known as no0tic | ||
| gundam_rx78nt1 | kenalex, it's a preference thing. | 13:17 |
| xt828 | i like kde more than i like gnome | 13:17 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | As you know, linux is about choice. | 13:17 |
| xt828 | also, i like blue more than i like that orangey brown colour | 13:17 |
| kenalex | ok | 13:18 |
| elmargol | noone? | 13:18 |
| vedavox | I think KDE is a lot more customisable, and been using KDE since version1 | 13:18 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | vedaox, your dating yourself. Anyway, so have I. | 13:18 |
| elmargol | KDE has every feature you don't need :D | 13:19 |
| vedavox | elmargol: in kcontrol, go to defailt applications and set the default browser | 13:19 |
| kenalex | gundam_rx78nt1: so i see its about choice. its like going into a pizza parlor and having a million choices of what toppins you can have with that pizza :) | 13:19 |
| elmargol | vedavox: I don't have default applications there | 13:19 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | true. | 13:19 |
| kenalex | gundam_rx78nt1:right now i am doing some distro hopping | 13:20 |
| vedavox | elmargol: do you have system settings? from the main k menu | 13:20 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | kenalex, I believe that many of us here have done that also. I started with slackware back in 1993. | 13:20 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | 100 floppy disks, 8 hours to install... the good ol' days... | 13:21 |

| xt828 | n1tro, have a look at this for some wow-on-wine tips: http://www.wowwiki.com/Linux/Wine | 13:21 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | now, I do prefer for setting up a server, I would go with gentoo. for desktop/laptop purpose, I prefer kubuntu. | 13:22 |
| vedavox | I changed all my boxes to kubuntu a few months ago, had been on debian sid for the last 5 years | 13:22 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I stay away from redhat. | 13:22 |
| elmargol | vedavox: No | 13:22 |
| elmargol | I have actions -> Settings -> control center | 13:22 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | elmargol: do Alt-F2 and type kcontrol. | 13:23 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | then look at the menu there. | 13:23 |
| elmargol | done | 13:23 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | under kde components. | 13:23 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | you should find it there. | 13:23 |
| kenalex | i find fedora very easy to break | 13:23 |
| ndazza | n1tro: you're trying to improve wow performance? | 13:23 |
| JohnFlux | What does it mean if I have a load of 5, but no apps using any cpu? | 13:24 |
| JohnFlux | I'm guessing that means the kernel is using all the cpu | 13:24 |
| JohnFlux | but no idea why | 13:24 |
| vedavox | elmargol: click on web browser and just enter firefox in the box | 13:24 |
| ndazza | JohnFlux: they're probably sleeping as soon as they try to use cpu, or perhaps something suddenly stopped taxing the cpu | 13:24 |
| n1tro | ndazza: it's not only that, my processors aren't using their full power when wow is running | 13:24 |
| n1tro | so it lags | 13:24 |
| elmargol | there is no "web browser" at KDE Components | 13:25 |
| JohnFlux | n1tro: newest video drivers? | 13:25 |
| ndazza | n1tro: wow won't max out more than 1 core | 13:25 |
| elmargol | ndazza: not true | 13:25 |
| ndazza | n1tro: but i can point you to some recommendations to make wow faster | 13:25 |
| vedavox | elmargol: under kde components, then default applications, then web browser | 13:25 |
| n1tro | JohnFlux: i guess so | 13:25 |
| ndazza | elmargol: it will use 2 cores but it won't max them out | 13:25 |
| ndazza | at least not under linux | 13:25 |
| elmargol | vedavox: I don't have defalt applications at kde components | 13:26 |
| kenalex | nitro:what class and race do you play in wow | 13:26 |

| kenalex | oh one of those melee demons | 13:27 |
| vedavox | elmargol: do you have kubuntu installed, or running kopete under ubuntu? | 13:27 |
| n1tro | i'm not melee, i'm resto | 13:27 |

| elmargol | yes I only have kdebase | 13:28 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | elmargol: did kcontrol open for you? | 13:28 |
| elmargol | gundam_rx78nt1: yes | 13:28 |

| ndazza | n1tro: script? no | 13:29 |
| ndazza | n1tro: in theory it might help, especially if you kill all your x sessions beforehand | 13:29 |
| ndazza | n1tro: but if you have gigs of ram and dual core or better it probably won't make much difference | 13:29 |
| elmargol | vedavox: Yes I think I'm missing some kde components | 13:30 |
| n1tro | the real problem isn't power :D | 13:30 |
| ndazza | (i have gigs of ram and dual core, so i didn't bother) | 13:30 |
| n1tro | it's just that my computer refuses to use that power on linux | 13:30 |
| kenalex | nitro: i played a dwarf paladin on hakkar. have stop playing for about a year now | 13:30 |
| n1tro | oh | 13:30 |

| gundam_rx78nt1 | then you are missing stuff... | 13:32 |
| vedavox | elmargol: try installing the kdebase package should put then in for you | 13:32 |
| n1tro | btw ndazza what program do you use for your linux to detect those extra buttons if your mouse? | 13:33 |
| n1tro | *in your mouse | 13:33 |
| ndazza | n1tro: i only use 5 buttons (ie 3 plus scroll wheel) | 13:34 |
| ndazza | i have another 2 but i don't use them | 13:34 |
| n1tro | ;o | 13:34 |
| ndazza | there's guides on the net to enabling them but i haven't bothered | 13:34 |
| n1tro | those two buttons are like MUST for me | 13:35 |
| n1tro | i'm missing like 6 spells that don't work in wow because i have two buttons linux doesn't recognize | 13:35 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | elmargol: you can also change the file associations for htm to firefox. | 13:35 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I just did it on my box. | 13:36 |
| BluesKaj | howdy all :) | 13:36 |

| FaiDillinGer | anyone knows how i acan get kopete to open firefox instead of konqueror when i check out my mails in my hotmail account ?? | 13:38 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | that is the good thing about linux, there is more than one way to skin a windows box... | 13:38 |
| vedavox | ndazza, you can enable them in Xorg.conf if its a standard mouse | 13:39 |
| yolnizzle | right click on the link it should bring out an open with firefox dialogue | 13:39 |

| gundam_rx78nt1 | FaiDillinGer: kcontrol > KDE components > Default Applications > Web Browser > type in fire fox... | 13:40 |
| BluesKaj | FaiDillinGer, set the default browser in system settings/default applications and in the terminal: sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser | 13:41 |
| FaiDillinGer | thx BluesKaj : its already set in system settings. ill do it for the terminal | 13:42 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 13:43 |
| FaiDillinGer | lol kopete still opens konqueror to check out the hotmail account. btw everything else works with firefox but this | 13:44 |
| BluesKaj | FaiDillinGer, the terminal setting tries to make the default broser a global setting unless otherwise chosen in an application | 13:44 |
| FaiDillinGer | BluesKaj: fine | 13:44 |
| BluesKaj | like kopte, | 13:44 |
| BluesKaj | you may have to configure kopete on it's own | 13:45 |

| BluesKaj | prolly too many coffee spills on it | 13:46 |
| christianp | problems with noatun, i try playing a small .vaw file, but it seems not to work. any ideas? | 13:46 |
| BluesKaj | christianp, does the wav file appear to play, but without audio | 13:47 |
| BluesKaj | ? | 13:47 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | my amarok is choppy on play back of mp3's. this started after upgrading to Gutsy. Xmms plays the files fine... any ideas? | 13:47 |
| vedavox | gundam_rx78nt1: using moodbar in amarok? | 13:48 |
| === tolga is now known as tilky | ||
| BluesKaj | gundam_rx78nt1, reinstall libxine1-ffmpeg | 13:48 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | no, just standard installation. | 13:48 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | libxine1-ffmpeg? Ok. | 13:48 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I will do that once I get home. I can ssh and do that but I can't test it for another 3 hours. | 13:49 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | BluesKaj: is this from experience? | 13:49 |
| BluesKaj | no, it's new in amarok in gutsy | 13:50 |
| vedavox | On another forum someone else was saying choppy sound in amarok, but kaffeine worked fine | 13:51 |
| BluesKaj | mine wouldn't play mp3s at all , not that I care :) ...strictly wav or lossless for this guy | 13:51 |
| vedavox | they were using mandriva though | 13:51 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | has anybody else experienced this: vga=791 or if using the hex code, you will get a blank screen in the virtual terminals (ALT+F1-6). | 13:51 |
| c0rle0n3 | hi | 13:51 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | during booting. | 13:52 |
| c0rle0n3 | How to update php 5.2.1 to 5.2.5 | 13:52 |
| c0rle0n3 | I'm using kubuntu 7 with has default instalation of apache2 and php5.2.1 | 13:52 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I was wondering if someone had a fix for this | 13:52 |
| BluesKaj | gundam_rx78nt1, that's the std setting for TTY prompts from F1 - F6 | 13:52 |
| BluesKaj | F7 returns the desktop | 13:53 |
| vedavox | c0rle0n3: check the backports or hardy repos, else compile by hand | 13:53 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | what do you mean? I only get a blank screen. no login prompt. now if I just let it boot up without the vga statement in my grub menu.lst file, then I get 640x480 display instead of 1024x768. | 13:54 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | which the vga statement is used. | 13:54 |
| ahmos | Hi,there is for example a program for kde and another same program for kde4,which I should install? | 13:54 |
| c0rle0n3 | vedavox: how I do that? | 13:54 |
| vedavox | ahmos: if you are using kde3, use the kde3 version | 13:55 |
| Emiliano | òò | 13:56 |
| BluesKaj | gundam_rx78nt1, sounds like you have to reset you xorg.config file resolution settings , some timea amonitor driver upgrade will help or : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver.xorg | 13:56 |
| vedavox | c0rle0n3: just checked, hardy has 5.2.4, unless you want to install from the source yourself, you will have to wait until it hits the repos | 13:57 |
| BluesKaj | err sorry sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 13:57 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | BluesKaj: it was working fine 2 weeks ago when I had Feisty installed. I just upgraded to Gutsy and since then, it doesn't work. I have removed and reconfigured my xorg.conf file many times to no avail. | 13:58 |
| vedavox | gundam_rx78nt1: I had a problem like that, thinking of going back to using LiLo, its a lot easier | 13:58 |
| ahmos | thank's vendavox | 13:58 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | LiLo... (shudders)... it's been so long since the lilo days... | 13:58 |
| FaiDillinGer | BluesKaj: i found out how to make kopete check out hotmail with firefox. in kcontrol, i made the 1st application for text/html to be firefox | 13:58 |
| BluesKaj | FaiDillinGer, cool :) | 13:59 |
| vedavox | gundam_rx78nt1: I was using it until 5 months ago on debian, this new fangled grub nonsense :P | 13:59 |
| BluesKaj | good to know | 13:59 |
| christianp | sorry, BluesKaj, i was googling for solutions ;) | 14:00 |
| BluesKaj | I liked LILO , it was easier | 14:00 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | vedavox: I believe it's a kernel issue. It's reported and confirmed as a bug. | 14:00 |
| christianp | BluesKaj: it seems it's interrupted but no sounds played | 14:00 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I was wondering if someone has found a fix for it. | 14:00 |
| vedavox | time to go | 14:01 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | with my luck no developers are here to answer that question. | 14:01 |
| BluesKaj | gundam_rx78nt1, maybe a monitor driver / graphics card driver check may be in order ...I had to revert to the restricted driver in system settings /advanced to get DRI and 3D working on this pc | 14:02 |
| BluesKaj | after installing gutsy | 14:03 |
| BluesKaj | christianp, try a cd , something that you know has audio on it | 14:05 |

| BluesKaj | nareshov, adept notifier ? | 14:07 |
| SlimeyPete | no, knotify is a kde thing | 14:07 |
| SlimeyPete | it sends notification events when stuff happens (though I'm not sure exactly what its function is) | 14:08 |

| redheat | hi everyone | 14:28 |
| redheat | need some help if possible, I just installed Kubuntu with KDE4, finally, and I was wondering how can I get it conneted to the internet.. | 14:28 |
| nosrednaekim | redheat: are you using wired? | 14:29 |
| redheat | nope, wireless | 14:29 |
| nosrednaekim | redheat: encrypted? | 14:29 |
| redheat | yes | 14:29 |
| nosrednaekim | redheat: wpa or wep? | 14:30 |
| redheat | wep | 14:30 |
| nosrednaekim | ok, this is a bit difficult, so let me find you a tutorial. | 14:30 |
| redheat | thank you.. | 14:30 |
| nosrednaekim | the first thing you should do after getting this woking is go get knetworkmanager ;) | 14:31 |
| redheat | nosrednaekim, I have better idea can you show me how to allow administrator login ? | 14:33 |
| nosrednaekim | redheat: "sudo -i" | 14:34 |
| redheat | I did that.. | 14:34 |
| redheat | I was talking about logging in with an adiministrator account.. | 14:34 |
| nosrednaekim | oh.. you mean running GUI apps that require root priveledges? | 14:34 |
| redheat | no no | 14:34 |
| redheat | I mean loggin in from the login windows with a root account | 14:35 |
| nosrednaekim | redheat: oh, right, then run "sudo passwd root" | 14:35 |
| redheat | I did that too | 14:35 |
| redheat | but it tells me no administrator login allowed | 14:35 |
| kenalex | do any of you guys use the 64 bit version of kubuntu | 14:35 |
| redheat | do you remember that windows in Ubuntu gives you the option to | 14:35 |
| nosrednaekim | oh... X might not be letting root user log in (for security reasons) | 14:35 |
| grul | sudo su | 14:35 |
| redheat | nope, sorry only 32 bit | 14:35 |
| nosrednaekim | kenalex: yes | 14:35 |
| redheat | sudo su? | 14:36 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | redheat, change your kde profile config file. you will find a line that say root login = false | 14:36 |
| nosrednaekim | redheat: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 | 14:36 |
| BluesKaj | kenalex, i did but switched to x86 , due to graphics card probs | 14:36 |
| nosrednaekim | gundam_rx78nt1: where is this file? | 14:36 |
| kenalex | i am noticing that flash isn't available for the 64 bt version | 14:37 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | should be in /etc/kde if I am not mistaken. | 14:37 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | give me a moment and let me check. | 14:37 |
| BluesKaj | kenalex, yeah , but you can around that by installing ia32libs | 14:37 |
| redheat | nosrednaekim, wasn't there a wi-fi wizard that made it easy to configure the wi-fi network? | 14:37 |
| kenalex | oh ok | 14:38 |
| BluesKaj | err grt | 14:38 |
| redheat | I remember last time I used a wi-fi wizard and it get me through all that with no command line..of course thank you so much for your help | 14:38 |
| nosrednaekim | redheat: yes, but its kde3.... you have to install it manually after you get internet(which admittedly needs to be fixed) | 14:38 |
| BluesKaj | &#$@** KB ! | 14:38 |
| redheat | exactly | 14:38 |
| redheat | ok.. | 14:38 |
| nosrednaekim | redheat: the kde4 liveCD was not really intended to be installed | 14:39 |
| redheat | I thought so | 14:39 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | you would need to edit the /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc file. | 14:39 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | look for the line AllowRootLogin=false and change it to true. | 14:39 |
| snarkster | morning all | 14:39 |
| redheat | anyhow...thank you so much for your help truly truly appreciate your help.. | 14:39 |
| redheat | morning to you too | 14:40 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | you will be able to log into kde as root then. | 14:40 |
| redheat | you all take care and have a nice day | 14:40 |

| Pentarex | ok but how to install firefox when its .tar.gz | 15:28 |
| Pentarex | i try with run-mozila,sh | 15:28 |
| SlimeyPete | Pentarex: use adept | 15:28 |
| Pentarex | but nothing happens | 15:28 |
| SlimeyPete | or apt-get | 15:28 |
| SlimeyPete | !adept | 15:28 |
| ubotu | adept is the Kubuntu package manager. Howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptHowto | 15:28 |
| jussi01 | Pentarex: firefox is in the repositories | 15:28 |
| Pentarex | i try but :) | 15:28 |
| Pentarex | jussi01: ooo i will try right now | 15:28 |
| Pentarex | :) | 15:28 |
| jussi01 | Pentarex: epiphany also | 15:29 |
| Pentarex | sudo apt-get install firefox :) | 15:29 |
| jussi01 | :) | 15:29 |
| Pentarex | and its downloading | 15:29 |
| Pentarex | 10nx guys | 15:29 |
| jussi01 | excellent | 15:29 |
| Pentarex | konqueror its little buggy :P | 15:29 |
| jussi01 | Pentarex: always check the repositories before downloading something off the net | 15:29 |
| Pentarex | ok 10nx i forgot :) | 15:30 |
| Pentarex | is there someone from Bulgaria here ? | 15:30 |
| Pentarex | no one :P | 15:31 |

| Pentarex | what is the different from ctrl+alt+F1 and konzole from kmenu | 15:32 |
| stdin | konsole runs in X | 15:33 |
| SlimeyPete | Pentarex: konsole runs in a window in the graphical environment. | 15:33 |
| Pentarex | aa :) | 15:33 |
| SlimeyPete | if you hit ctrl-alt-f1 you temporarily leave the graphical environment entirely. | 15:34 |
| Pentarex | and ctrl+alt+f7 back in | 15:34 |
| Pentarex | :) | 15:34 |
| SlimeyPete | yeah. | 15:34 |
| Pentarex | thanks again | 15:34 |
| SlimeyPete | the general rule is "use konsole unless your graphics are broken" :) | 15:34 |
| Fridolf | Or you're going to do anything that might fiddle with X | 15:35 |
| Fridolf | like installing display drivers :) | 15:35 |
| BluesKaj | and then there are the CLI junkies who think GUIs are for Linux imposters | 15:36 |
| Pentarex | 10nx alot for the answer | 15:36 |
| Pentarex | answers* | 15:36 |
| === _ubuntu is now known as Arska | ||
| Fridolf | On the subject of consoles, I think I remember that you could save the console in ram and scroll through it somehow | 15:38 |
| Pentarex | ok one more question | 15:38 |
| Pentarex | is there program like photoshop ? | 15:38 |
| Fridolf | but I can't remember how to do it? almost sure I did on fedora once | 15:38 |
| Fridolf | yes, gimp | 15:38 |
| Pentarex | a 10nx | 15:38 |
| SlimeyPete | Fridolf: shift-pgup? Or use screen. | 15:38 |
| niall_ | is KDevelop any good? | 15:38 |
| Fridolf | photoshop is almost perfectly runnable in wine too, except some plugins | 15:39 |
| Fridolf | hmm okej | 15:39 |
| Fridolf | I'll try it :) | 15:39 |
| SlimeyPete | niall_: it seems popular, but for me it crashes an awful lot | 15:39 |
| dewitt | i am running kubuntu fiesty, adept crashed and went away now it is saying it is still open. tell me how to close it. | 15:39 |
| Pentarex | winex (cedega) is it good ? | 15:39 |
| Fridolf | nope | 15:39 |
| SlimeyPete | Pentarex: it's OK, but normal wine is just as good for most things (and sometimes better) | 15:39 |
| Fridolf | cedega is really crappy if you ask me, wine works alot better | 15:39 |
| SlimeyPete | crossoveroffice is pretty good. | 15:39 |
| niall_ | SlimeyPete: I'm going to be using it for PHP development incidentally, is it worth it? | 15:39 |
| Pentarex | :) | 15:39 |
| Fridolf | just google wine and you'll find download links | 15:40 |
| Pentarex | and what is this folder lost+found on my sda2 its like 9 gb | 15:40 |
| SlimeyPete | niall_: haven't tried it for PHP. It's probably worthwhile if your project is quite large. Personally I use Quanta. | 15:40 |
| Pentarex | sudo apt-get install wine :) | 15:40 |
| Fridolf | yeah but that's probably old versions | 15:40 |
| niall_ | SlimeyPete: Quanta? | 15:40 |
| Fridolf | but you can add a updated repo from winehq | 15:40 |
| SlimeyPete | Pentarex: http://www.freeos.com/articles/3102/ | 15:41 |
| Fridolf | Photoshop only works okay in the latest wine version which is 0.9.54 or something like that | 15:41 |
| SlimeyPete | niall_: I think it's in the repos. It's an IDE for web development. | 15:41 |
| SlimeyPete | niall_: it's very nice. | 15:41 |
| n1tro | anybody know how to get ventrilo fun on kubuntu? | 15:42 |
| n1tro | *run | 15:42 |
| Fridolf | yeah I know | 15:42 |
| Fridolf | what do you need help with? | 15:42 |
| BluesKaj | Fridolf, I trust the older versions , some apps aren't ready for some setups and ppl have more trouble than it's worth using the so called "Newer & Better" versions | 15:42 |
| n1tro | Fridolf: talkin' to me? :D | 15:42 |
| batis610 | i want to find a link was given to me few days ago on this room .... did konversation client keep history or not? | 15:42 |
| Fridolf | yes I do :) | 15:42 |
| Pentarex | SlimeyPete: ok its for linux crashes :) | 15:42 |
| n1tro | Fridolf: well i just want to talk to my friends over ventrilo ^^ | 15:42 |
| Pentarex | SlimeyPete: 10nx | 15:43 |
| SlimeyPete | Pentarex: basically, yes | 15:43 |
| Fridolf | BluesKaj: although with wine it's not like that, because wine is pretty beta and newer usually is better | 15:43 |
| bjwebb | hi, loads of new kde updates | 15:43 |
| n1tro | but i tried using ventrilo with wine but it was complaining about codecs | 15:43 |
| bjwebb | has this got a name? | 15:43 |
| Pentarex | but why in sda2 not in sda1 | 15:43 |
| bjwebb | like 4.0.1 or something? | 15:43 |
| niall_ | 4.0.1 is out yeah | 15:43 |
| bjwebb | okies | 15:43 |
| BluesKaj | batis610, what app are you researching ? | 15:44 |
| SlimeyPete | Pentarex: dunno, maybe fsck has never done anything to sda1 | 15:44 |
| niall_ | 4.1 is due out in July | 15:44 |
| Fridolf | oh man, there's a good ventrilo guide on appdb on winehq but appdb is down as USUAL! | 15:44 |
| n1tro | ;< | 15:44 |
| n1tro | well mind giving me the link so i'll check it later? | 15:44 |
| Fridolf | anyway the codec you need is in w32codecs from medibuntu | 15:44 |
| Pentarex | SlimeyPete: man the text editor in gimp is alwful | 15:45 |
| Pentarex | :( | 15:45 |
| Fridolf | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 15:45 |
| Fridolf | install w32codecs | 15:45 |
| Fridolf | You'll find the codev in /usr/lib/codecs/msgsm32.acm | 15:46 |
| batis610 | BluesKaj: my question is: how can i find my conversation history on 'Konversation client'? | 15:46 |
| Fridolf | copy or link it to the wine windows/system32 directory | 15:46 |
| BluesKaj | Pentarex, try gimpshop/windows version..it runs better in wine on my setup, than gimpshop linux | 15:46 |
| rofl | somebody knows how to get the startmenu as displayed in vixta.org (looks vistaish) in kubuntu ? | 15:47 |
| n1tro | Fridolf: i find the codecs where..? | 15:47 |
| Fridolf | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 15:47 |
| BluesKaj | batis610, you have to turn logging on in konversation ...it will save the text ...unfortunately you can't go back and look, if it's turned off right now | 15:48 |
| Fridolf | it's called w32codecs and is a pack of windows codecs which might be nice to have | 15:48 |
| hydrogen | if it was in this channel batis610.. | 15:48 |
| Fridolf | among them is the gsm codec ventrilo uses | 15:48 |
| hydrogen | !logs | batis610 | 15:48 |

| Fleck | wheres the intel-hda sound driver? | 15:49 |
| BluesKaj | right on , hydrogen ..good to know :) | 15:49 |
| Pentarex | where is the hand tool in gimp | 15:50 |
| Pentarex | the pointer | 15:50 |
| Fridolf | Hmm, what does the pointer do? | 15:51 |
| BluesKaj | Fleck, prolly on the intel -sound site | 15:51 |
| Pentarex | how to tell it | 15:51 |
| Fleck | after kubuntu update i have no sound :( | 15:51 |
| Fleck | snd-hda-intel module is missing | 15:51 |
| Fleck | so stupid | 15:51 |
| Pentarex | when the text is marked i want to unmarked | 15:51 |
| SlimeyPete | Pentarex: yeah, it's dreadful, but gimp is the best image editor at the moment I'm afraid. | 15:51 |
| rofl | why does xserver-xorg suck that much ? you cannot even choose the refreshrate you like. in vesa its even worser, always 60 hz | 15:51 |
| jussi01 | !intelhda | Fleck | 15:51 |
| ubotu | Fleck: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 15:51 |
| Fridolf | I kinda like gimp alot more than photoshop for photo editiing and restoring | 15:52 |
| SlimeyPete | Pentarex: there are other apps (like scribus and inkscape) which are more text-oriented but they are DTP apps rather than photo editors | 15:52 |
| Fridolf | but not for making new pictures and filters and stuff | 15:52 |
| Pentarex | Fridolf: ok tell me how to unmark the text ? | 15:52 |
| Fridolf | hmm, esc! | 15:53 |
| Fridolf | ? | 15:53 |
| Pentarex | nope :( | 15:53 |
| Pentarex | i have a one scan CV and i want to add some text | 15:53 |
| Pentarex | but omg i have to go in college to do that :P | 15:54 |
| Fridolf | Open layer box with Ctrl + L | 15:54 |
| Fridolf | and just select another layer :) | 15:54 |
| Pentarex | yes 10nx a lot :) | 15:54 |
| Pentarex | omg where do u study :P | 15:54 |
| Fridolf | Pentarex: Are you asking me? | 15:55 |
| Pentarex | Fridolf: i am joking.... i was saying if u want to use gimp u have to go in college and u give me the right answer | 15:56 |
| Pentarex | Fridolf: it was a joke | 15:56 |
| Fridolf | haha okey :P | 15:56 |
| hydrogen | yea | 15:56 |
| hydrogen | the gimp ui definatly looks like it was designed by a five year old with a box of crayons | 15:57 |
| Fridolf | Anyway I am taking a photography course right now :P It pwn =D | 15:57 |
| Fridolf | Hydrogen: Just use another theme | 15:57 |
| Pentarex | bye bye for now and 10nx a lot | 15:58 |
| n1tro | Fridolf: i installed the files but i have no codecs folder in my computer | 15:59 |
| Fridolf | n1tro: /usr/lib/codecs/msgsm32.acm | 15:59 |
| Fridolf | copy that to your wine windows/system32 dir | 16:00 |
| n1tro | yeah i tried but there's no folder codecs where to copy from | 16:00 |
| Fridolf | hmmm are you sure you installed w32codecs correctly? | 16:00 |
| n1tro | nope :( | 16:01 |
| Fridolf | well you have to do that :) | 16:01 |
| n1tro | that page of yours was a mess for me :E | 16:01 |
| n1tro | i just copypasted that stuff to console | 16:01 |
| Fridolf | okay... | 16:01 |
| BluesKaj | BBL , errands ...again | 16:01 |
| Fridolf | Well, read this: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Ventrilo_Via_Wine | 16:02 |
| reagleBRKLN | hi just upgraded to 4.0.1 packages, but still can't resize/move panel, perhaps this was only for SUSE? | 16:02 |
| rofl | is there a package for windows fonts ? | 16:05 |
| LamerMan | is KDE4 worth to upgrade to it from KDE3? :) or should i wait a little bit more? | 16:05 |
| jussi01 | wait | 16:05 |
| LamerMan | why, is it still unstable? | 16:05 |
| jussi01 | LamerMan: of course... if you want stable, i recomend to wait till 4.1 | 16:06 |
| rofl | which kee version is in gutsy? | 16:06 |
| rofl | kde | 16:07 |
| jussi01 | 3.5.8 rofl | 16:07 |
| FaiDillinGer | id wait a little more if i was you | 16:07 |

| n1tro | please | 16:12 |
| n1tro | i had to reboot | 16:12 |
| rofl | [17:02] <Fridolf> Well, read this: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Ventrilo_Via_Wine | 16:12 |
| n1tro | no not that one | 16:12 |
| n1tro | where he said move files from this path to another | 16:13 |
| rofl | [16:59] <Fridolf> n1tro: /usr/lib/codecs/msgsm32.acm | 16:13 |
| rofl | [17:00] <Fridolf> copy that to your wine windows/system32 dir | 16:13 |
| n1tro | okay thanks a lot :)) | 16:13 |
| niall_ | oh man, I can't remember how UML works at all | 16:15 |
| psi_ | hi all | 16:15 |
| psi_ | i have just plugged in my usb hard drive witch is formatted in ntfs how do i mount it? thanks | 16:15 |
| rofl | mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/usbxy /media/usbdisk | 16:16 |
| rofl | you have to create the media folder first | 16:16 |
| psi_ | rofl: thanks but how do i know witch usb device it is? | 16:16 |
| NickPresta | what is the proper way to close my Xephyr session with KDE4? Do I just close the xterm/etc? | 16:17 |
| rofl | dunno :) | 16:17 |
| psi_ | i have already created media folder | 16:17 |
| psi_ | how would i find out | 16:17 |
| rofl | look at the files in /dev | 16:17 |
| psi_ | ok what am i looking for | 16:17 |
| rofl | something like usbd0 i guess | 16:17 |
| lontra | where would someone request a backport? | 16:17 |
| psi_ | i have a usblp0 | 16:18 |
| lontra | i've got the latest R from r-project's ubuntu repo and i'd like to request a newer version of rkward to be backport | 16:18 |
| kiefer | Hello all :) | 16:18 |
| rofl | you could unplug the disk and then compare the /dev to earlier version | 16:18 |
| NickPresta | lontra, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports | 16:18 |
| NickPresta | hi, kiefer | 16:18 |
| niall_ | how do I setup a mysql database? | 16:19 |
| lontra | NickPresta: thanks | 16:19 |
| rofl | niall i would install phpmyadmin and use that | 16:20 |
| niall_ | hmm | 16:20 |
| niall_ | ok | 16:20 |
| NickPresta | niall_, there is phpmyadmin, kmysqladmin to help with creating and editing databases | 16:20 |
| niall_ | which is best? | 16:21 |
| rofl | kmysqladmin is probably easier to use | 16:21 |
| NickPresta | phpmyadmin requires PHP, a webserver, and a browser to use. kmysqladmin doesn't :) | 16:21 |
| niall_ | well I'm going to be developing in PHP | 16:21 |
| niall_ | so I've got that already ;] | 16:22 |
| NickPresta | niall_, then you probably already have a LAMP type setup. I prefer kmysqladmin but I don't mind phpmyadmin either. I sometimes even use `mysql` ;) | 16:22 |
| niall_ | LAMP? | 16:22 |
| NickPresta | Linux Apache MySQL/MSSQL PHP/Python/Perl | 16:23 |
| niall_ | yeah :} | 16:23 |
| niall_ | oh, how do I change where apache is pointing? that is to say the directory is serves to 127.0.0.1 | 16:24 |
| rofl | are there some fonts with fixed width like courier in the default kubuntu install ? | 16:24 |
| rofl | look in the httpd.conf | 16:24 |
| NickPresta | niall_, you need to edit your apache conf file. I forget where it is placed by default when you install Apache via the repos. look for something called apache.conf or httpd.conf | 16:24 |
| NickPresta | rofl, there is 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono', 'Andale Mono', 'Deja Vu Sans Mono', and 'Freemono' to name a few | 16:25 |
| rofl | NickPresta: is there something that lets me see if the font is fixed-width ? | 16:26 |
| NickPresta | rofl, usually, fonts that end in 'mono' are monospaced fonts | 16:26 |
| rofl | thx | 16:27 |
| hydrogen | or are sick | 16:27 |
| hydrogen | one of the two | 16:27 |
| rofl | lol | 16:27 |
| NickPresta | heh | 16:27 |
| NickPresta | you can also try 'gfontview' for a font viewer for Type 1 and TrueType fonts. | 16:27 |
| rofl | that has to be installed first | 16:28 |
| NickPresta | rofl, yep. | 16:28 |
| niall_ | httpd.conf is empty :z | 16:29 |
| NickPresta | niall_, the file should be somewhere in /etc/apache or something similar | 16:29 |
| rofl | look in /etc/apache2 | 16:29 |
| jason | the ubuntu install for apache does not use httpd.conf, it uses apache.conf | 16:29 |
| niall_ | yeah, i looked in there, there's a file called httpd.conf, there's just nothing in it | 16:29 |
| NickPresta | ah okay. thanks jason | 16:29 |
| niall_ | ah ha | 16:30 |
| niall_ | right, ServerRoot, is that what I change? | 16:30 |
| rofl | yep | 16:30 |
| niall_ | neat | 16:31 |
| rofl | except you wanna use virtual servers | 16:31 |
| dewitt | tell me how to close adept when i don't see it, | 16:31 |
| rofl | ps aux | 16:31 |
| rofl | then kill processid | 16:31 |
| NickPresta | !aptfix | dewitt | 16:31 |
| ubotu | dewitt: 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 » | 16:31 |
| niall_ | virtual servers? | 16:32 |
| rofl | yes for hosting more than one domain | 16:32 |
| rofl | google for it | 16:32 |
| NickPresta | niall_, do you want to change where your configuration and log files are kept or where you can place documents to get them on the web? | 16:32 |
| niall_ | NickPresta: place my HTML and PHP files. I'm not going to be serving to the web though, I'm just going to test things locally then upload them to my FTP | 16:33 |
| NickPresta | niall_, then you want to change your DocumentRoot option. Leave ServerRoot alone. | 16:34 |
| NickPresta | niall_, and change ServerRoot back to whatever it was before. | 16:34 |
| NickPresta | niall_, you can create a folder called 'public_html', 'www' or whatever in your home directory and then change your DocumentRoot variable to '/home/USERNAME/public_html' and place your files in there. Apache will serve them | 16:35 |
| hydrogen | or you can use mod_userdir | 16:36 |
| hydrogen | which is a fairly common thing | 16:37 |
| Nyle | fuck you | 16:37 |
| hydrogen | he's pretty creative.. | 16:38 |
| rofl | -.~ | 16:39 |
| rofl | soembody tried linuxmint ? that looks quite nice and is ubuntu based | 16:40 |
| NickPresta | rofl, I've heard good things about linux mint | 16:42 |
| rofl | i.e ? | 16:42 |
| rofl | the kde version should be out soon | 16:43 |
| jason | I thought mint was just ubuntu with the propietary drivers installed at installation instead of having to install them yourself | 16:43 |
| rofl | afaik it also offers the codecs and a nicer startmenu/look | 16:44 |
| rofl | NickPresta: in which folder are the kuduntu default fonts to look at in gfontview ? | 16:45 |
| PriceChild | !mint | rofl | 16:47 |

| tomahasamoot | The sensons utilty is telling me a much different CPU temp from the BIOS. Sensons says temps range from the upper 50s to mid 60s. So I went into the BIOS to change the fan settings, but the BIOS said 38-39. What gives? I've got an Intel Q6600, a Gigabyte motherboard, and I'm running Kubuntu 7.10 amd64. The sensors pkg is libsenors3, with it87 and coretemp kernel modules. | 16:59 |

| psi_ | i have windows xp dual booted with kubuntu 7.10/kde4 but every time i want to boot windows i have to enable acpi in bios why won't kubuntu work with acpi? | 17:02 |
| sub[t]rnl | tomahasamoot➜ when you rebooted to your bios, the processor activity slowed, and the cpu cooled? | 17:02 |
| tomahasamoot | sub[t]rnl: I don't think so, it was such a short time. Plus, as soon as I got logged in, it was showing the temp in the low 60s... but it might change that fast? | 17:04 |
| sub[t]rnl | mine sure does. When I'm encoding video it runs hot, but the second I stop the temp drops drastically | 17:04 |

| mathew_ | huh lol i was i created another problem | 18:03 |
| NickPresta | mathew_, well, I would start with using the last known 'good' xorg.conf (that doesn't cause taskbar or dual monitor problems), and then do what you did to 'fix' your X problems, one change at a time, to see what is causing the flashing taskbar issue. | 18:03 |
| mathew_ | fixing my xorg made this happen | 18:03 |
| mathew_ | i dont get how xorg can do this | 18:03 |
| NickPresta | mathew_, yes, undo your 'fixes'. Clearly the fix caused another problem :) | 18:03 |
| mathew_ | it didnt | 18:04 |
| mathew_ | it created non boot | 18:04 |
| mathew_ | so i fixed the non boot by using the backuped one | 18:04 |
| mathew_ | now i have this dodgy thing | 18:04 |

| yao_ziyuan | the first linux distro that will rule the world have two essential things: | 18:10 |

| vesimaenaudio | NickPresta: okay...i try | 18:11 |
| Tecumseh | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55001/ | 18:11 |
| yao_ziyuan | kubuntu already has the former | 18:11 |
| yao_ziyuan | but lacks the latter | 18:11 |
| yao_ziyuan | i tried PCLinuxOS 2007 and it seemed to have both (but a KDE < 3.5.8) | 18:12 |
| yao_ziyuan | now i'm downloading its 2008 version which includes KDE 3.5.8 | 18:12 |
| NickPresta | yao_ziyuan, okay. | 18:12 |
| yao_ziyuan | as long as you guys still can't figure this essence out, kubuntu is crap. | 18:13 |

| NickPresta | Tecumseh, according to the azureus wiki, it means your router doesn't support UPnP or someone on your LAN is using the UDP port. First, try port forwarding the port in question (20931) to your computer. | 18:15 |
| Xbehave | how do i get themese for emerald in gutsy (i want the gpl1s ive managed to get the non gpl) | 18:15 |

| Tecumseh | NickPresta: port is forwarded though. | 18:17 |
| Xbehave | yet another stab to the beryl users then | 18:18 |
| stdin | Xbehave: beryl is also dead | 18:18 |
| Tecumseh | brb, rebooting router | 18:19 |
| * Jucato hands stdin a shovel | 18:19 | |

| NickPresta | trojan_force, the latest stable version is 2.6.24 :) | 18:22 |
| trojan_force | kk | 18:23 |
| trojan_force | what do u use | 18:23 |
| trojan_force | ? | 18:23 |
| stdin | gutsy uses 2.6.22, hardy will use 2.6.24 | 18:23 |
| trojan_force | okies | 18:23 |
| Xbehave | vesimaenaudio: it should be doable with pam auto mount stuff, what encryption is used? | 18:24 |
| spiroo | Is Hardy stable enough these days, or should you wait. I mean they are Alpha-phase for the moment. | 18:24 |
| stdin | spiroo: the answer to that depends on what type of user you are | 18:25 |
| TameLion | spiroo: If you have to ask, you should probably wait :) | 18:25 |
| vesimaenaudio | Xbehave: i dont know.. where i can see it? | 18:26 |
| Xbehave | spiroo: unless you want to report bugs your probably better just updating the kernel if you want it | 18:26 |
| NickPresta | Tecumseh, I haven't been able to find any helpful information regarding your specific issue. You may consider using another version of Java (perhaps java-gcj) | 18:26 |
| spiroo | stdin, TameLion: Well I am quite out of the box user, if I have music player, internet working I do not need much more than that. | 18:27 |

| NickPresta | Tecumseh, is there any specific reason why you _have_ to use Azureus? Deluge i a similar replacement and KTorrent is just awesome. | 18:27 |
| spiroo | Xbehave: I am not out for the new core, would be KDE 4.0.1 in that case. | 18:27 |
| Xbehave | vesimaenaudio: i dont know much about cross platform encryption so im not going to be much help, there may be a way of seeing it without repooting | 18:27 |
| Cavallito | I have some problems. My keboard works ok at the start but then suddenly space and all keys stoped to repat the char if I hold the key. So if I hold key "d" I just get one d not dddddd :) ? Where is the problem. I dont know any other way how to describe this :/ | 18:28 |
| stdin | spiroo: you can try it out, but I'd suggest keeping gutsy installed and install hardy on another partition. at this moment it's mostly working but that can change very quickly. test out the liveCD for a while before you decide | 18:29 |
| stdin | remember that it's still not officially supported yet so it's up to you to figure things out | 18:29 |
| Tecumseh | I tried KTorrent, but didn't get through the ip-blocking filter configuration | 18:30 |
| vesimaenaudio | Xbehave: maybe there is, if can look..i cant..in stick is only autorun.inf, AutoVerify.exe and fpclear.exe -files. | 18:30 |
| spiroo | stdin: Allright then :P Will probably try it out, I will get my Stable Internet Line very soon though, So I am not sure. Anyway, is there huge changes in Hardy, or what Is it to expect? Does not say to much on the website kubuntu.org | 18:31 |
| rofl | it should be possible to use utorrent.exe with wine | 18:31 |
| Xbehave | vesimaenaudio: its possible to use luks and the windows equivelenat or truecrypt across both platforms, there may also be others too | 18:31 |
| stdin | spiroo: it's only been developed for 3 months so far so there are more changes to come, but most are core changes right now | 18:32 |
| Tecumseh | rofl: I didn't install Kubuntu (or any linux distro for that matter) just to fall back to windows programs | 18:32 |
| spiroo | I must though say, everyone is working really effective, I mean they released KDE 4.0.1, and it is almost out for every single desktop system or what you call it :P | 18:32 |
| rofl | Tecumseh: you won't find some good linux replacement for every windows program | 18:33 |
| rofl | especially if you code yourself | 18:33 |
| Xbehave | will installing feistys theme package get around my emerald problem | 18:34 |
| NickPresta | Tecumseh, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/azureus/+bug/57875 Check near the middle, where John Dong explains the situation (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/azureus/+bug/57875/comments/117) and if you follow the posts, there appears to be a fixed up deb. | 18:34 |
| rofl | its easier to do my coding in delphi and run the app in wine than learning c++ and how to use those fancy widgetsets | 18:34 |
| spiroo | stdin: Allright, seems not to much changes. Then my personal opinion, says theres not to much to better up. Only make more of it :) Would love when Amarok 2, Kopete 1.0, KDE4.1, Decibel, KOffice2 is out. | 18:34 |

| Douglas_E | NickPresta: yes | 18:37 |
| NickPresta | stdin, does amarok2 (1.80-0ubuntu1~gutsy1~ppa1) need to be run within a KDE4 session? | 18:38 |
| spiroo | stdin: okay :) It will take some time, I understand. It is just so hard when they release betas and previews. I install them directly most of the time :P | 18:38 |
| Tecumseh | NickPresta: thanks for the read, I fear I have seen this thread before and tried it. But I'll retry anyway | 18:38 |
| Douglas_E | rofl how do you open port 22 on the router? | 18:38 |
| stdin | NickPresta: I think it should run in a kde3 session, haven't tried though. it may need plasma running | 18:38 |
| spiroo | Now I just miss Photoshop CS3 for Linux/KDE :P Hopfully there will be now, when Adobe uses QT. | 18:39 |
| NickPresta | Tecumseh, okay. Give Deluge a try if you haven't. It's similar to Azureus. | 18:39 |

| rofl | Douglas_E: the router should apply the setting immediately, but you have to reboot it eventually | 18:45 |
| Douglas_E | rofl one other question, it says private or public? | 18:45 |
| rofl | public for outside(WAN) access | 18:46 |
| rofl | you can also choose another port . i.e. port 222 forwarded to 192.168.1.2 port 22 | 18:46 |

| vbgunz | whats the matter with the latest flash ugrade? | 18:49 |

| NickPresta | !flashissues | vbgunz | 18:50 |
| ubotu | vbgunz: The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now, although it might not have yet reached all mirrors. If that is the case for your mirror, please wait a couple of hours. | 18:50 |
| vbgunz | I just got a flash update, downloaded it and it broke something that wasn't broken :/ | 18:51 |
| vbgunz | was it supposed to fix something? | 18:51 |
| NickPresta | vbgunz, apparently it was supposed to fix the flash plugin problem | 18:51 |

| HristoBG | ok ok 10nx :) | 18:54 |

| rofl | 10x ? nice | 18:55 |
| hydrogen | you forgot the n | 18:55 |

| HristoBG | hydrogen: the linux says its already mounted in /media/sda2 | 18:57 |
| rofl | then umount it and mount it again with R/W enabled | 18:57 |
| rofl | if its ntfs, use ntfs-3g | 18:58 |
| HristoBG | in the console to mount and unmount right | 18:58 |

| HristoBG | rofl: ext3 :) | 19:00 |

| rofl | should be umount /media/sda2 & mount -t ext3 /media/sda2 | 19:01 |

| naftilos76_ | just got straight from fedora 8! | 19:02 |
| HristoBG | nice :) | 19:02 |
| naftilos76_ | so... | 19:03 |
| naftilos76_ | has anybody got a clue how i can type accents ? | 19:03 |
| naftilos76_ | language is greek | 19:03 |

| HristoBG | what | 19:04 |
| HristoBG | u want to | 19:04 |

| HristoBG | wright on greek | 19:04 |
| naftilos76_ | shall i repeat? | 19:04 |
| rofl | on windows you could do ALT-GR + ascii code | 19:04 |
| HristoBG | iaso :P | 19:04 |
| hydrogen | mm, I'm not sure how the how the language stuff works that well as I don't use it | 19:04 |
| hydrogen | I'm sure theres documentation about it | 19:04 |
| hydrogen | and I know its possible | 19:04 |

| HristoBG | hydrogen: how to unmount | 19:06 |
| NickPresta | trappist, I don't know of a GUI application but you can combine some simple bash scripting and `mencoder`. | 19:07 |

| NickPresta | naftilos76_, this is an English only channel. Thanks. | 19:07 |
| trappist | NickPresta: I'm not afraid of the console, but what would I use to detect the sample rate of the existing files? | 19:07 |
| naftilos76_ | sorry....getting out NOW! | 19:07 |
| trappist | NickPresta: keeping in mind I have mp3, mp4, flac, ogg, etc. | 19:07 |
| vesimaenaudio | Xbehave: okay..thanks. must boot to XP when need stick. | 19:08 |
| rofl | trappist: try wine with foobar 2000 | 19:09 |
| trappist | rofl: looks promising-ish | 19:09 |
| rofl | watcha mean ? | 19:10 |
| hydrogen | emm | 19:10 |
| trappist | rofl: I mean, it could work | 19:10 |
| hydrogen | thats kind of a crazy way to do it | 19:10 |
| rofl | yes, i think so | 19:10 |
| The_ManU_212 | hi | 19:10 |
| hydrogen | try uhh, transkode | 19:10 |
| hydrogen | I think it can do that | 19:11 |
| Xbehave | vmware is an option, im abit coFPManager, confused by the wine situation | 19:11 |
| hydrogen | not sure how well the filtering works, but worth a try | 19:11 |
| rofl | foobar is relatively straight-forward coded and doesnt use much winapi | 19:11 |
| Xbehave | doh stupid middle click "vmware is an option, im abit confused by the wine situation" | 19:11 |
| hydrogen | right, but its not the smartest way to go about doing it | 19:11 |
| hydrogen | when there are native applications that can do the same thing | 19:11 |
| The_ManU_212 | i still use edgy and today i got a kernel update, i used adept and all ran normal as everytime but it crashed when i should get the popup for dist-upgrade | 19:12 |
| rofl | sure, but you have to know em and they have to be good | 19:12 |
| hydrogen | right | 19:12 |
| The_ManU_212 | then i opened manually adept and ran apt-get update, i think all is installed fine | 19:12 |
| The_ManU_212 | is that right? | 19:12 |
| trappist | rofl: looks like foobar is gonna require some wine hackery. it instantly complains I'm not on XP | 19:12 |
| hydrogen | suggesting that people use win apps in wine for all of their needs gives a good case for just using windows | 19:12 |
| trappist | hydrogen: apt-cache search transkode doesn't come up with anything | 19:13 |
| Creationist | I'm trying to compile a Qt app by source, but get this error when running make: uic: File generated with too recent version of Qt Designer (4.0 vs. 3.3.7). How can I fix this? | 19:13 |
| hydrogen | !search transkode | 19:13 |
| ubotu | Found: | 19:13 |
| Xbehave | trappist: set the windows version to xp should work | 19:13 |
| hydrogen | trappist: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=37669 | 19:13 |
| rofl | and you should use the zipped version w/o installer | 19:13 |
| hydrogen | Creationist: you need to use qt4 rather than qt3 | 19:14 |
| hydrogen | probably some update-alternatives foo | 19:14 |
| Xbehave | hydrogen: honesty suggests letting them make thier own mind up its not my job to sell ubuntu to them, if foobar is the best tool for the job then using it under wine is my recomendation | 19:14 |
| hydrogen | its trying to use uic3 to create a file from ui4 | 19:14 |
| hydrogen | Xbehave: but who knows if it _is_ the best tool for the job | 19:14 |
| hydrogen | its the familiar tool, but if you are after familiarity then stay on windows | 19:14 |
| Creationist | hydrogen: Really? Looks like it wants me to use 3 instead of 4. Either way, how do I fix it? | 19:14 |
| brad_ | oh hi | 19:14 |
| brad_ | the ati driver install seems to think I'm running xorg 1.3.0 | 19:15 |
| brad_ | what gives? | 19:15 |
| Xbehave | who knows if anything is the best tool, vi vs emacs, i reomend what i know | 19:16 |
| rofl | brad, theres a script called ati.rb, use it to install the driver | 19:16 |
| brad_ | how can i get my X version ? | 19:16 |
| trappist | there's also envy | 19:16 |
| trappist | brad_: X -version | 19:16 |
| hydrogen | Xbehave: then why not just reccommend using windows? I assume you know it better than linux if you are more familiar with programs on windows than linux | 19:17 |
| brad_ | it says 1.3 | 19:17 |
| NickPresta | trappist, you still there? | 19:17 |
| Creationist | I know Windows a lot better than Linux. Yet I still use and recommend Linux more often ;) | 19:17 |
| trappist | brad_: I believe that's version 1.3 of the protocol, not the software | 19:17 |
| trappist | NickPresta: I think so, what's up | 19:18 |
| Creationist | I just keep Windows for gaming and video editing... neither of which is possible with Linux (at least not useful) | 19:18 |
| Creationist | I'm trying to compile a Qt app by source, but get this error when running make: uic: File generated with too recent version of Qt Designer (4.0 vs. 3.3.7). How can I fix this? | 19:18 |
| NickPresta | trappist, http://pastebin.ca/894176 that uses mplayer to get information from audio/video files. You can use awk/grep/whatever to extract the information for rate comparison and such. | 19:19 |
| Xbehave | hydrogen: because i know about linux, if i only recomend a wine app if dont know of any stable linux tools, it has nothing to do with familiarity | 19:19 |
| rofl | Creationist: you have to install qt54 | 19:19 |
| rofl | qt4 | 19:19 |
| trappist | NickPresta: hey that's a pretty good start, thanks | 19:19 |
| Xbehave | *...i only recomend a wine app if... | 19:19 |
| Creationist | rofl: You happen to know exactly which package I need? apt has TON of different qt4 packages | 19:19 |
| brad_ | trappist: I'll buy that | 19:19 |
| emilymare | webcam | 19:19 |
| brad_ | I'm looking for the ati.rb | 19:19 |
| NickPresta | trappist, I used it when I wanted to get all files in my audio folder with a bitrate of 320kbps or higher. | 19:19 |
| hydrogen | hmm | 19:20 |
| rofl | brad_: look in google | 19:20 |
| hydrogen | it looks like its using uic4 but trying to compile with qt3.. actually | 19:20 |
| rofl | Creationist: wait a sec | 19:20 |
| hydrogen | which suggests.. interesting things | 19:20 |
| emilymare | hey does anybody of you now how i can make a webcam conversation with kmess | 19:20 |
| rofl | i think its qt4-core and qt4-dev | 19:20 |
| emilymare | ?? | 19:21 |

| fhd | hi. I'm wondering whether I should use apt-get dist-upgrade on a regular basis. Normaly, I don't see differences between upgrade and dist-upgrade, but with this KDE4 launchpad repository, dist-upgrade seems to be trying to install some unrelease packages which upgrade doesn't want to install. any clues? | 19:33 |
| ScorpKing | fhd: you should only use apt-get upgrade afaik | 19:34 |
| fhd | ScorpKing: well, I tend to use dist-upgrade because it seems to be updating some hold back packages which I prefer. However, I'm quite shock that it tries to actually install unreleased software | 19:35 |
| HristoBG | so no one will tell me how to unmount sda2 :( | 19:35 |
| rubikcube | hi, could someone please give me the md5 of the current kubuntu desktop (i386) cd iso image? | 19:35 |
| ScorpKing | fhd: it's because dist-upgrade is only to upgrade from one release to the next | 19:36 |
| rofl | rubikcube: that is printed on the download page | 19:37 |
| fhd | ScorpKing: the manpage says it has a different dependency handling. only good for distribution upgrade? | 19:37 |
| ScorpKing | HristoBG: sudo umount /dev/sda2 | 19:37 |
| HristoBG | umount ok | 19:37 |
| HristoBG | 10n | 19:37 |
| HristoBG | 10nx | 19:37 |
| rofl | rubikcube: for what the hell do ya need the checksum ? | 19:37 |
| rubikcube | rofl: I know, but I have the impression that there might be a wrong version on the site I downloaded it from | 19:37 |
| ScorpKing | !dist-upgrade > fhd | 19:37 |
| rubikcube | after a fresh install and trying to do an adept-update, it stoppen in the middle and told me it had to upgrade to 7.10 (although that's what I had installed, of course) | 19:38 |
| fhd | ScorpKing: thanks :D | 19:38 |

| HristoBG | ScorpKing: i still have no rights to create folders in sda2 :( | 19:38 |
| HristoBG | ScorpKing: where to mount it ? | 19:39 |
| ScorpKing | HristoBG: what filesystem is it? | 19:39 |
| rofl | rubikcube: strange, but if you had errors on your cd, you would have had an error message at the installation | 19:39 |
| HristoBG | ScorpKing: ext3 | 19:39 |
| rofl | errors like crc | 19:39 |
| rubikcube | rofl: the cd is ok | 19:40 |
| ScorpKing | HristoBG: make a directory im /media for it and mount it there | 19:40 |
| ScorpKing | in* | 19:40 |
| HristoBG | a thnaks | 19:40 |
| rofl | rubikcube: maybe you try sudo apt-get update in a shell instead | 19:40 |
| rubikcube | or has there been an upgrade, like 7.10 -> (unoffical 7.10.a)? | 19:40 |
| rofl | rubikcube: not that i know | 19:40 |
| ScorpKing | HristoBG: that won't solve your permission problems btw. tell me when it's mounted | 19:40 |
| rubikcube | the upgrade hangs anyway, so I'll just try to update again | 19:41 |
| SlimeyPete | nah, there are no x.x[a-z] versions in kubuntu. 7.10 is the current version until 8.04 comes out. | 19:41 |
| HristoBG | ScorpKing: look | 19:42 |
| HristoBG | hristo@hristo-desktop:/media$ sudo mount /mnt/sda2 | 19:42 |
| HristoBG | mount: can't find /mnt/sda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 19:42 |
| HristoBG | i create dir mnt in media | 19:43 |
| ScorpKing | HristoBG: sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/<your_dir> | 19:43 |
| rofl | HristoBG: isnt it in /media/sda2 | 19:43 |
| HristoBG | 10nx :) | 19:43 |
| rubikcube | so I'll just try and update only the kernel + apt/adept first... | 19:43 |
| HristoBG | ScorpKing: done :) | 19:43 |
| HristoBG | ScorpKing: now what | 19:44 |
| doilgheas | hi how can i start tomcat as user (without sudo) and how can i start tomcat without the security manager? i've kubuntu 7.10 and tomcat5.5 | 19:44 |

| HristoBG | thank youuuuuuuu | 19:45 |
| HristoBG | :) | 19:45 |
| rubikcube | other strange thing was that in the live cd part of the install cd, the help page (on the very first install screen) directed to some 7.10 beta page, but I guess that's just something that people forgot to change for the final release | 19:45 |
| HristoBG | now i am going to watch North Ireland - Bulgaria !! GO GO BULGARIAAA :P | 19:45 |

| Taras | its stuck on the language selection | 20:28 |

| sd132 | lontra: kde 4 updates | 20:28 |
| rofl | Taras: you need to choose expert mode, then resize an existing partition | 20:28 |
| ScorpKing | !paste > |test| | 20:28 |
| Agent_bob | acee1234 so type "mount" and see what it says about it | 20:29 |
| Taras | ok, problem is im not an expert | 20:29 |
| lontra | sd132: have you tried sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? | 20:29 |
| venik | I am having trouble adding a WINDOWS network drive ... Kubuntu seems blind to the drives on my WINDOWS machine | 20:29 |
| sd132 | lontra: no, let me try that | 20:29 |
| rofl | Taras: it's called manual partitioning | 20:29 |
| venik | I tried Remote PLaces/Network | 20:29 |
| ScorpKing | acee1234: let Agent_bob help you. i'm going to bed. have fun ;) | 20:29 |
| acee1234 | ScorpKing: thank you | 20:29 |
| tekteen | |test|: I have no idea. sorry | 20:29 |
| venik | add a network folder | 20:29 |
| acee1234 | Agent_bob: ok did "fdisk-l" reported it as fat 32 | 20:30 |
| rofl | Taras: you just have to create a swap partition 1.5 times the size of you ram, and one partiotion with ext3 for / | 20:30 |
| biagio | hello | 20:30 |
| The_ManU_212 | i still use edgy and today i got a kernel update, i used adept and all ran normal as everytime but it crashed when i should get the popup for dist-upgrade | 20:30 |
| The_ManU_212 | then i opened manually adept and ran apt-get update, i think all is installed fine | 20:30 |
| acee1234 | Agent_bob: still can write to it and see anything in windows | 20:30 |
| The_ManU_212 | is that right? | 20:30 |
| Taras | ok | 20:30 |
| acee1234 | Agent_bob: cant | 20:30 |

| acee1234 | Agent_bob: looking for missed instruction | 20:31 |
| |test| | and this needs this package | 20:31 |
| lontra | someone should update the /topic as flash is fixed now | 20:31 |
| sd132 | lontra: it says the packages ahve been kept back and not upgraded | 20:31 |
| Agent_bob | acee1234 type "mount" and show me what mount says about that fs | 20:31 |
| lontra | sd132: then don't force them! just wait ... ppa isn't a full repo | 20:31 |
| |test| | i should test it but has try what i can | 20:31 |
| sd132 | lontra: ok thanks for the help!!! | 20:31 |
| |test| | and didn´t becoma it installed correct | 20:31 |
| lontra | sd132: np ... just remember ppa is sort of a testing ground | 20:32 |
| lontra | sd132: ppa is where kde4 comes from btw | 20:32 |
| |test| | cuz the version who my kubuntu allows to install didn´t match the needed | 20:32 |
| |test| | so i think must do it manual | 20:32 |
| pm1 | hey :) | 20:32 |
| acee1234 | Agent_bob: http://pastebin.com/m45f58838 | 20:32 |
| Agent_bob | looking | 20:33 |
| sd132 | lontra: do you think i should remopve kde 4 until its fixed? | 20:33 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: that command only seems to result in changing the resolution, not the driver, what am i dong wrong? | 20:33 |
| pm1 | hey could any1 help me | 20:33 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: it should ask for both, if not then you'll have to try without the -phigh | 20:34 |
| lontra | sd132: nope ... kde4 works fine keep ... if you want to remove it and reinstall it (not sure if that would fix it) go ahead ... what i'd suggest is commenting out that line in /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment it when you want to install kde4 stuff or upgrade packages | 20:34 |
| lontra | sd132: er if kde4 works for you keep it . | 20:34 |
| pm1 | stdin ... cood u tell me how to uninstall kubuntu | 20:34 |
| acee1234 | Agent_bob: im also interested in writing to sda5 but i dont want to mess with that partition tll i figure it out on another its an encrypted partition will all my taxes email backups etc | 20:34 |
| rofl | pm1: just install another distribution | 20:35 |
| Agent_bob | acee1234 and what is the exact device/inode that you are playing with right now ? | 20:35 |
| stdin | pm1: remove the partition it's installed on | 20:35 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: ok, i scrolled to the bottom as far as i could see... ill try without phigh | 20:35 |
| sd132 | lontra: ok thanks, it seems to cause more problems than fix so i think i will uninstall it | 20:35 |
| acee1234 | Agent_bob: the what | 20:36 |
| pm1 | is there not a rm code | 20:36 |
| lontra | sd132: so uninstall it based on the instructions at www.kubuntu.org and if you want to try again later when 4.0.2 is out or whatever just reinstall ;D | 20:36 |
| Agent_bob | acee1234 the location of the filesystem in question | 20:36 |
| Agent_bob | the inode name ? | 20:36 |
| acee1234 | /dev/sda3(fat 32) and /dev/sta5(ntfs) | 20:37 |
| pm1 | acee1234 .. is there a rm to unistall kubuntu ? | 20:37 |
| Agent_bob | so /dev/sda3 | 20:37 |
| Agent_bob | ? | 20:37 |
| acee1234 | pm1: acee1234 rm? | 20:37 |
| venik | I am having trouble adding a WINDOWS network drive ... Kubuntu seems blind to the drives on my WINDOWS machine | 20:37 |

| sd132 | lontra:can i just uninstall the kde 4 desktop package will that work?( thanks again for the help!!) | 20:38 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: its asking me about how much vram I want, and saying the i810 needs specification, what should I put in kb? in the bios on the machine its set to 8mb... | 20:38 |
| pm1 | is therer a rm code to unistall kubuntu ? | 20:38 |
| acee1234 | dev/sda3 | 20:38 |
| acee1234 | what is rm code | 20:38 |
| Agent_bob | acee1234 and it's not incripted ? | 20:38 |
| acee1234 | sda3 is not encrypted | 20:38 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: you can leave it blank if you want, but 8MB is 8192KB | 20:38 |
| lontra | sd132: possibly uninstalling kde4-core will do it ... you might need to run sudo apt-get autoremove after and look for any kde4 packages lurking around | 20:38 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: you sure leaving blank is OK? | 20:39 |
| acee1234 | Agent_bob: what is rm code? | 20:39 |
| Agent_bob | k sudo mount -o uid=000 /dev/sda3 /media/sda3 | 20:39 |
| Agent_bob | acee1234 beets me what he meant. | 20:39 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: I've left it blank before, but it's up to you | 20:39 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: youve left it blank in conjunction with i810? im just concerned to get this right thats all | 20:40 |
| pm1 | acee1234 cood u help me unistall kubuntu ? | 20:40 |
| Agent_bob | acee1234 he may have been asking for a command to rm (remove/delete) some call commands code | 20:40 |
| lontra | pm1: what do you want to do with that partition just delete it? | 20:40 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: yeah, it's default is blank anyway | 20:40 |
| lontra | pm1: or overwrite it? | 20:40 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: ok done | 20:40 |
| Agent_bob | acee1234 you did "sudo mount -o uid=000 /dev/sda3 /media/sda3" ? | 20:41 |
| acee1234 | Agent_bob: returned mount: mount point /media/sda3 does not exist | 20:41 |
| Agent_bob | k | 20:41 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: see if X works now | 20:41 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: use kernels framebuffer driver? | 20:41 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: don't use flamebuffer | 20:41 |

| acee1234 | pm1: im not the guy to know, im learning the ropes sorry | 20:41 |
| Agent_bob | acee1234 then rerun the command | 20:41 |
| pm1 | klkl who cood help me ? | 20:42 |

| acee1234 | Agent_bob: ill give it a go thank you | 20:44 |
| pm1 | how do i do tht ?:S coz it was ma mate tht installed it | 20:44 |
| [ka]killer | anyone else having problems with ktorrent 2.2.5? | 20:44 |
| IS | no | 20:44 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: x started, logging in via gui now... | 20:44 |
| Agent_bob | pm1 are you running linux or windows now ? | 20:44 |
| [ka]killer | >_< | 20:44 |
| pm1 | linux | 20:44 |
| xst | Does anyone know an image viewer with a slideshow feature that can make a slideshow with all the contents of a directory including all its subdirs? | 20:45 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: im very skeptical, i dont believe its actually using the i810, its impossible surely | 20:45 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: why? | 20:45 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: if it is, then why didnt the same driver work when chosen from control panel in kde using vesa driver and instead freeze | 20:45 |
| Agent_bob | pm1 you reboot into windows recovery console and use the fixmbr and fdisk tools that windows provides | 20:45 |
| rofl | pm1: start your system with the linux livecd then start gparted and delete your linux partitions, then increase your xp partition | 20:45 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: whats the easiest way to check if the proper intel driver is working for sure?? | 20:45 |
| pm1 | i dont have live cd bt ? | 20:46 |
| Agent_bob | pm1 anytime you want to evict an os use a different os to do it. | 20:46 |
| IS | no! | 20:46 |
| lontra | jack_spratt: this will tell you if it's using i810 --> cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep i810 | 20:46 |
| rofl | pm1: then ask your friend to undo | 20:46 |
| Daisuke_Ido | or use partitionmagic to delete the linux partition and expand the windows partition, then use a windows boot cd to run fixmbr | 20:46 |
| IS | HELLO | 20:46 |
| pm1 | wats partitionmagic ? | 20:47 |
| IS | a program | 20:47 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: look for a line "(II) LoadModule: "i810" " in the Xorg.0.log | 20:47 |
| IS | helps set a partition | 20:47 |
| rubikcube | pm1: is there already a windows on your box or any data you need to save? | 20:47 |
| pm1 | no | 20:47 |
| Agent_bob | and do note that all the examples given above are following the "use a different os to evict an os" form | 20:48 |
| lontra | jack_spratt: and if you run that command that i told you --> cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep i810 ... then you can save time and answer stdin | 20:48 |
| IS | NO | 20:48 |
| rubikcube | pm1: very good, then just insert your windows CD/DVD and follow its instructions, accept when it asks whether it shall delete anything on disk | 20:48 |
| Agent_bob | pm1 then just insatll windows. | 20:48 |
| pm1 | i allready got it but | 20:48 |
| stdin | lontra: what not just "grep i810 /var/log/Xorg.0.log" ? | 20:49 |
| lontra | stdin: sure ;) | 20:49 |
| lontra | stdin: does the same thing | 20:49 |
| stdin | i810 will match a few things in the log anyway | 20:49 |
| Agent_bob | IS define "set a partition" ? | 20:49 |
| IS | :) | 20:49 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: i used lontra's command, 5 lines of text listed | 20:49 |
| IS | set up | 20:49 |
| Agent_bob | *parted | 20:50 |
| aharoon_ | hi i had a proplem when i installed kde4 i was going to textmode then i solved by install kubuntu-desktop now i go to text mode then i have to run startx i want to get graphical login screen how to?? and how to install kde4 without have any troubles | 20:50 |
| Agent_bob | *fdisk | 20:50 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: which part gives the answer | 20:50 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: what's the 1st line? | 20:50 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:"loadmodule: "i810" | 20:51 |
| rubikcube | pm1: but? | 20:51 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: there's you're proof then | 20:51 |
| IS | i'm not answering anything | 20:51 |
| lontra | jack_spratt: unless you see (EE) with i810 after it you're in the clear with your video | 20:51 |
| Agent_bob | aharoon_ dpkg -l | grep ii | grep -E ' .dm' | cut -d' ' -f3 | 20:52 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: so you two are sure that, since Im looking at a kde desktop and i810 driver is being used, the i810 driver is definitely working according to what I have said?? | 20:52 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: certainly sounds like it | 20:52 |
| Agent_bob | aharoon_ if that shows anything run dpkg-reconfigure <what ever it showed here> | 20:53 |
| aharoon_ | what is this im new to linux dont understand this | 20:53 |
| Daisuke_Ido | well 4.0.1 is out now | 20:53 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:hmmmphr | 20:53 |
| jeisma | when i use compiz fusion rotate cube and a window is up, it goes incredibly slow | 20:53 |
| jeisma | is that my graphics card or my ram? | 20:53 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: well, thanks a lot | 20:53 |
| Daisuke_Ido | jeisma: you're using xgl? | 20:53 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: why didnt the driver work before then when it was selected and run by default in the livecd bootup? | 20:54 |
| XceII | I just put a new mobo in, the only problem i have is muting sound, is there a way I can fix this? | 20:54 |
| stdin | Agent_bob: you may want ' .dm\b' there ;) | 20:54 |
| jeisma | Daisuke_Ido i don't know | 20:54 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: and why doesnt it ever work with other distros in the same situation? | 20:54 |
| Daisuke_Ido | what graphics card, and how much ram? | 20:54 |
| * Agent_bob must have come at the preschool hour... | 20:54 | |
| jeisma | no idea about graphics card and i think 512mb of ram | 20:54 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: probably because it tried intel first and apparently there a bug where some chipset variations get detected as something else with that driver | 20:55 |
| aharoon_ | ok i made sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm then ut gave me choice between kdm aand kdm-kde4 i select kdm | 20:55 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Agent_bob: *nod* | 20:55 |
| deepfreez | how know this error: kvirc: symbol lookup error: kvirc: undefined symbol: _ZN6KviSSL10globalInitEv | 20:55 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: is that what you think that whole "EE detecting sil_164" thing was about? | 20:56 |
| aharoon_ | is this the only thing i have to do?? or there is another thing? | 20:56 |
| jeisma | Daisuke_Ido so is it the graphics card or memory? | 20:56 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i don't know | 20:56 |
| Agent_bob | stdin yeah \b doesn't matter, he didn't even recognize it as a command string. | 20:56 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: because ive encountered that error message on countless other distrps too | 20:56 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you have no idea what kind of graphics card you have? | 20:56 |
| Daisuke_Ido | how did you even get compiz running? | 20:56 |
| Agent_bob | stdin but thanks for the heads up there. | 20:56 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: that seems to be some chipset it's detecting | 20:56 |
| Daisuke_Ido | jeisma: try lspci | grep VGA | 20:57 |
| stdin | aharoon_: try "echo /usr/bin/kdm | sudo tee /etc/X11/default-display-manager", that should force it to use kdm | 20:57 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: so why, when we used the same driver again having reselected it, did it not on that occasion mis detect the chipset as before?? | 20:57 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: the default video driver for intel chipsets is the "intel" driver and, as I said, it seems to have a bug in it that the older "i810" driver does not | 20:58 |
| artemis | help i have a problem : i turn on my pc and the logo of kubuntu shows up , it loads up to a point and then boots sth like busy box built-in shel.how can i boot to my kubuntu kde desktop again? o_0 | 20:58 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: so by default kubuntu selects the 'intel' made intel driver, whereas it should use the newer xorg driver | 20:58 |
| IS | ´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´¶´´´¶´´´´´´´´´¶´´´¶´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´ | 20:59 |

| jack_spratt | stdin: but the official driver has those bugs it it which makes it never work for me | 20:59 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:is that what youre saying? | 20:59 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: both the "intel" and "i810" drivers are the official drivers, but the "intel" one has support for newer chips | 20:59 |
| massisimo | does anyone use envy or installed graphic drivers with it? | 21:00 |
| Agent_bob | artemis mount the root fs from the busybox shell or boot an older kernel/initramfs pair | 21:00 |
| giovannid | hi there | 21:00 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:so the driver im currently using is not xorg but made by intel corp? | 21:00 |
| XceII | I just put a new mobo in, the only problem i have is muting sound, is there a way I can fix this? | 21:00 |
| giovannid | exscuse for the BIG ot... do you prefer: "everything went well" or "everything has gone all right?" | 21:00 |
| Agent_bob | artemis but you'll need to fix that broken initramfs after you access the root file system | 21:01 |
| jeisma | Daisuke_Ido 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200 M] | 21:01 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: well no, both intel and xorg make it. intel open-sourced their graphics driver a long time ago now | 21:01 |
| byronc | I'm debugging a Qt4 application with gdb and would like to get something more useful in backtraces than '0xb7a03c36 in QGraphicsSimpleTextItem::paint () from /usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4' Can I use the libqt4-debug package to do this? | 21:01 |
| aharoon_ | i run echo /usr/bin/kdm the resul is /usr/bin/kdm then i run sudo tee /etc/X11/default-display-manager and it dont show anything and it seems like it hungs it didnt goto new line | 21:01 |
| giovannid | no one her can speak english? :) | 21:01 |
| giovannid | here | 21:02 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:so its a collaborative project between intel and xorg, or it is by xorg based on a modification of intel corps | 21:02 |
| stdin | aharoon_: no, paste the whole command in, including the | character | 21:02 |
| stdin | aharoon_: "echo /usr/bin/kdm | sudo tee /etc/X11/default-display-manager" | 21:02 |
| artemis | Agent_bob: i am a n00b. how can i mount the root fs from the busybox - shell? | 21:02 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:because in other channels its usually referred to as either 'the intel driver' which i assume means intel corp made it, or its 'the xorg driver' which means its newer and made by xorg | 21:03 |
| aharoon_ | ok it gives me /usr/bin/kdm | 21:03 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: well intel pays developers to work on it with the unpaid developers, all the code is open to all though | 21:03 |
| IS | lol i like fish | 21:03 |
| stdin | aharoon_: good, that's what it should | 21:03 |
| n1tro | i guess it's impossible to get that divx plugin for firefox with linux? | 21:03 |
| n1tro | so i can watch videos in stage6 and stuff | 21:04 |
| aharoon_ | ok if i restart now do i get the login graphical screen or i get textmode and i have to type startx | 21:04 |
| Agent_bob | artemis depends on what the exact error is. may only need to insert a module or may need to create a device node and insert more than one module. but that's really not for beginners. easier to boot an older kernel or a live cd and fix it from there. | 21:04 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: so there is no distinction between the official intel and the xorg foundations driver for this chipset anymore? is this collaboration a recent thing then, because up to about september a different driver was used i thought, which worked alongside the bios hack, but all that has now been replaced with newer drivers... | 21:05 |
| Agent_bob | artemis and you do need to file a bug report against the kernel update. | 21:05 |
| NetSKaVeN | hell-o! | 21:06 |
| lontra | jack_spratt: i810 was a precursor to the intel driver | 21:06 |
| jack_spratt | so the driver im using now is the old one, but im not using it in conjunction with the bios hack...how? | 21:06 |
| lontra | jack_spratt: the new intel driver includes that fix | 21:06 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: it was always open, but the new driver dropped support for some older chipsets so those hack wern't needed and the bug that caused the need for it could be fixed | 21:07 |
| NetSKaVeN | where can we report bugs in Gutsy's KDE 4 packages? | 21:07 |
| === PriceChild is now known as pricey | ||
| lontra | !kde4 | 21:07 |
| ubotu | KDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/ - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 | 21:07 |
| artemis | Agent_bob: and how can i do it? o_0 | 21:07 |
| NetSKaVeN | thanks lontra | 21:08 |
| Agent_bob | define "it" please ? | 21:08 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: but this new one version contains a new set of bugs that completely cripple it as far as this chipset is concerned, great | 21:08 |
| stdin | NetSKaVeN: you can, but you should report them to bugs.kde.org too | 21:08 |
| aharoon_ | ok if i restart now do i get the login graphical screen or i get textmode and i have to type startx | 21:08 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: you're the 1st person I've seen with that problem, what exactly does "lspci | grep VGA" show? | 21:09 |
| NetSKaVeN | stdin: yeah, but I don't know if the bug is KDE problem or Kubuntu problem | 21:09 |
| stdin | NetSKaVeN: what is it? | 21:09 |
| NetSKaVeN | a lot xD | 21:09 |
| stdin | give me an example and I can give you an idea of if it's upstream or not | 21:10 |
| NetSKaVeN | mmm | 21:10 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: 82845g/gl[brookdale-g]/ge cehipset (rev 03) | 21:10 |
| NetSKaVeN | kopete's msn display offline here but I'm online, for example | 21:10 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:(thats paraphrased | 21:10 |
| jack_spratt | ) | 21:10 |
| stdin | NetSKaVeN: upstream | 21:11 |
| artemis | Agent_bob: thanks for the help..i will do what you said xD hope i will do it right xD bb | 21:11 |
| lontra | NetSKaVeN: unless it's a packaging bug it's upstream | 21:11 |
| NetSKaVeN | ok, I will investigate the kde bugs then | 21:11 |
| NetSKaVeN | thanks for the info | 21:11 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:so the driver that im using and that works now is the old driver that i had working before the new ones came and messed it all up - this is just the old driver that i used to use with the bios hack, but without the hack this time? | 21:11 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: my server has "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)", seems the "/ge" is the only difference | 21:12 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: yeah, it's the driver that was used before "intel" became default" | 21:12 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: you should probably report the bug on launchpad (now you have a working system) | 21:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | well, i have finally taken my first step into the world of the gimp | 21:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | not the worst thing i've ever touched | 21:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | however, it's no photoshop | 21:14 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: no i got the ge, i listed it - or which ge? seems theyre the same to me | 21:14 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: yeah, they are the same, the case made me think it was different for a sec. | 21:15 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: im still not completely sure how this old driver is working without the bios hack now, before when i used this driver (as it seems to be the same one) i had to use that hack (sorry im a bit slow, i still dont understand this et) | 21:15 |
| jack_spratt | *y | 21:15 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:so we have the same chipset exactly, but mine doesnt work and yours does | 21:15 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: the driver usually works without the hack, but higher video modes will need it | 21:16 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:so ill still need the hack in certain circumstances with this driver? | 21:16 |
| stdin | as far as I know, I still use it to get 1280x1024 on my server | 21:17 |
| stdin | you should report the issue here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+filebug and attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old (that'll be the where the log got moved when you started X again) | 21:18 |
| Xbehave | i have compiz working most stuff runs fine,but alt-F2 sometimes comes up completly blank | 21:18 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:ok i will when i feel i have a good enough grasp | 21:20 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:this is a cross distro problem for me though so im very anxious to understand how to fix the problem as you have just don on other distros; apart from anything else in my search for a solution to this problem over the last few months live picked up several others with the same problem. are we saying then that the fix is simply to use the old driver, say, the one kubuntu currently includes on its livecd? | 21:21 |
| Xbehave | if i manage to blindly stab the options button it works and everythings fine | 21:22 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: the workaround is to use the old driver, the fix should be done upstream (by x.org) in the intel driver so you don't have to use the old driver | 21:23 |
| jeisma | howq do i know if its my graphics card or my ram that sucks when compizfusion goes slow | 21:23 |
| jeisma | i try and rotate the cube when i have windows up and its slow | 21:23 |
| jeisma | without windows, its fast | 21:23 |
| artur_ | Is there anyway to install the Sodipodi using the apt-get? Some repository to add? I was trying to compile, but every ./configure tried, a problem was reported. | 21:24 |
| jeisma | windows being firefox, terminal, etc | 21:24 |
| jeisma | or is it my processor? | 21:24 |
| Xbehave | jeisma im not sure but if youve got swap usage it normally means that its ram you could do with, to find out type free in a terminal | 21:25 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:fair enough, but this is first time ive seen this workaround work, and TBH its not much of a work around the way i see it as the i810 driver is included with kubuntu by default, unlike most other distros it seems, which ship only one 'intel' driver. in PCLOS for instance the intel i810 driver, which should refer to the driver im currently using, us just a simlink back to the new 'xorg' intel driver, so you have to get a copy of the real i810 driver | 21:25 |
| jack_spratt | from elsewhere, but even when you do, and replace the intel driver thats installed by default, or even replace it completely, it still doesnt work nomatter what you do | 21:25 |
| jeisma | Xebhave ok so i typed in free, how do i know whats goin on? | 21:26 |
| jeisma | Mem:: 449336 443388 5948 | 21:26 |
| jeisma | total, used, free respectively | 21:26 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: the i810 driver is deprecated, it's marked for removal from upstream at a later date. that's why some distros don't ship it | 21:27 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:i accept that but the new one dont work which causes hell when the old one is awol | 21:27 |
| MarcC | how do I revert to the last version of the Flash plugin? | 21:28 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: which is why it needs to be reported | 21:28 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:is the i810 driver im now using constituted in a single .ko file? | 21:28 |
| stdin | MarcC: short answer: you can't | 21:28 |
| tekteen | MarcC: You can install flash on firefox | 21:28 |
| MarcC | stdin: no kidding? I'm using the latest plugin and CPU use is thru the roof | 21:28 |
| tekteen | lol | 21:28 |
| MarcC | I mean, I installed this one myself | 21:29 |
| tekteen | ok | 21:29 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: it's a xorg driver, not a .ko "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/i810_drv.so" | 21:29 |
| Daisuke_Ido | time to install ff3 | 21:29 |
| Xbehave | jeisma is there no line called swap? | 21:29 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:so the driver that works is a single .so file? | 21:30 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i think this problem has been diagnosed more than once now | 21:30 |
| MrRoland | is kde4 instaled by default in kubuntu ? | 21:31 |
| MarcC | no | 21:31 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: yeah, it's loaded directly by xorg | 21:31 |
| whyhankee | hi all, small question, on launchpad, subscribing to a bug is enough when there's no more info to add (as comment), right? | 21:31 |
| stdin | whyhankee: if you want updates on it, yes | 21:32 |
| whyhankee | stdin: and to get counted as an extra person being bitten i guess :) thx | 21:33 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: so I know for a fact that this driver works, if I copy it into other distros then it might work right? will it just show up in configuration screens like it does on kubuntus, so long as i copy it to the right place i mean? | 21:33 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: it's possible, but it may not. you can't tell with a .so it depends on how xorg was compiled | 21:34 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: that doesnt sound encouraging | 21:35 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: do you think its likely even that if i restart in live mode, or install using vesa with kubuntu and try to get this driver working again that it will? | 21:37 |
| Xbehave | where should i ask about my kubuntu + compiz problem? | 21:37 |
| Daisuke_Ido | hmm | 21:37 |
| Daisuke_Ido | now to figure out how to get java working in firefox 3.0 | 21:38 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: it should do, don't see why a live session would behave differently than an installed one in this respect | 21:38 |
| jack_spratt | stdin::ok, and do you think the same would work with ubuntu rather than kubuntu? | 21:39 |
| Xbehave | Daisuke_Ido: link /opt/firefox/plugins to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ that gets most plugins working | 21:39 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: they use the same packages, so yes | 21:40 |
| Daisuke_Ido | trying to test out an embedded java irc applet | 21:40 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and firefox keeps locking up :\ | 21:40 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:and do you think that in future, as in pclinuxos, some day the i810 driver will just be removed by default by the package manager in ubuntu/kubuntu? | 21:41 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: when it get's removed upstream, yes | 21:41 |
| stdin | we can't build what isn't there | 21:41 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:what do you mean removed upstream? excusse my ignorance | 21:41 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:surely you wont have to build anything, just leave present what is alreay built? | 21:42 |
| Daisuke_Ido | nope | 21:42 |
| stdin | upstream is the project: xorg, downstream is us (k/x/ed/u/buntu) and debian | 21:42 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: every package you install is built for ubuntu from source | 21:43 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:sure | 21:43 |
| stdin | when the source for the i810 module is removed by xorg, then we can't possibly ship it | 21:43 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:why not? youll still have the source and the package that you have, so long as they dont change the licesing or something surely you can ship it as long as you like] | 21:44 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: no, because that would mean that we have to stay at that versions of xorg forever | 21:44 |
| stdin | or branch xorg into another project all together to just maintain that one dirver | 21:45 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: whats wrong with that - you can ship both side by side, simultaneously, like you do at the moment | 21:45 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:but presumably they have abandoned developent on this driver as its been superseeded | 21:45 |
| Agent_bob | ([k|x|ed|u]buntu) | 21:46 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: not totally, but it's marked to be removed at a later date. when it's removed upstream (by xorg) we can't do anything about that | 21:46 |
| stdin | we can't just copy the source from one version to another because it wouldn't build anyway | 21:47 |
| The_ManU_212 | is that right? | 21:47 |
| The_ManU_212 | i still use edgy and today i got a kernel update, i used adept and all ran normal as everytime but it crashed when i should get the popup for dist-upgrade | 21:47 |
| The_ManU_212 | then i opened manually adept and ran apt-get update, i think all is installed fine | 21:47 |
| stdin | The_ManU_212: if you get no error messages from "sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" then you're fine | 21:48 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:i still dont understand really. Say im writing a book, and i go through several proofs before i publish it, but all versions are gpl's, if some people get access to the first rough proof and like it, then they can read it and distribute it to like minded people as long as they like, even if the book ends up much different and continues to be edited and rereleased into the future. whats stopping people distributing the original version if they like | 21:49 |
| jack_spratt | it or if it works? | 21:49 |
| The_ManU_212 | stdin: but i dont want to make a upgrade | 21:49 |
| The_ManU_212 | and i dont want to reconfigure all stdin | 21:49 |
| stdin | The_ManU_212: it won't reconfigure all, just configure what's not yet configured | 21:49 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: we could stay with one version of Xorg forever, but then we'd get no updates/new features/bug fixes ever again | 21:50 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:why? why are two different drivers mutually exclsive? intel dropped support for some other chips recently in the new driver you said, surely its reasonable to ship the old one too then as an acceptable and very necessary alternative...? | 21:52 |
| Agent_bob | and probably wouldn't need them either | 21:52 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: because the api/abi would change over time | 21:52 |
| The_ManU_212 | stdin: and the upgrade part how to test without upgrade? | 21:53 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:how could the api change if the chips remain the same (again excuse my ignorance). | 21:53 |
| stdin | The_ManU_212: why don't you want to run dist-upgrade ? | 21:53 |
| miladen | is it "unrar e filename.rar" ? | 21:53 |
| florianr | Hello! I use google desktop, now I found a verry large file in: ~/.google/desktop/repo/1000 ... It is nearly 1 GB .... | 21:53 |

| jack_spratt | stdin:who am I talking to by the way, id like to know who this so helpful and knowledgeable individual is | 21:54 |
| miladen | is it "unrar e filename.rar" ? | 21:54 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:i see | 21:54 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: /whois me to see my real name | 21:54 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:but surely thats a long way off | 21:54 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: like I said, it's marked for a later date. that date is not defined yet | 21:55 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: ok that makes more sense now, thanks | 21:55 |
| The_ManU_212 | stdin: all is running fine and many is configured, other packages installed or some scripts in /usr/bin etc | 21:56 |
| stdin | The_ManU_212: if dpkg --configure -a worked, then whatever you have installed is installer properly | 21:57 |
| Agent_bob | it's no wonder that people have so much trouble communicating on irc. none of them act like they even know hos to read. (not at this particular channel) | 21:58 |
| Agent_bob | hos/how | 21:58 |
| Xbehave_ | with compiz kde colour picker / run dialog fail to show anything but dialogs (and the dialogs are permeninatly blank) | 21:59 |

| Alex135 | Are the openGL screensavers that take a screenshot and deform it suposed to work properly in Kubuntu? | 22:08 |
| jeisma | Daisuke_Ido well how about changing how your login looks, where do i do that? | 22:08 |
| atef | Hi everybody! | 22:08 |
| Alex135 | jeisma, go to System Settings and then spash screen | 22:09 |
| Alex135 | splash screen* | 22:09 |
| Artimus | Is Flash working yet? I've been reading the mailing lists, and I've seen people say Flash is working for Gutsy in Konqueror again. For me, I get solid gray squares that crash/lag Konqueror. | 22:09 |
| jeisma | Alex135 i mean when im tying in my password | 22:09 |
| jeisma | Alex135 that backround | 22:09 |
| _Angelus_ | guys | 22:09 |
| _Angelus_ | will i loose any data if i re-size my /home partition? | 22:09 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:is this channel logged online somewhere so I can review our earlier conversation? | 22:09 |
| stdin | !logs | 22:10 |
| ubotu | Channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - Logs for LoCo channels are at http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ - See also « /msg ubotu ircstats » | 22:10 |
| Alex135 | jeisma yes i know, however changing the indavidual background of the splashscreen is beyond me, if you want to change the splash screen you can go to that option and change it | 22:10 |
| Xbehave_ | whats the command for the kde run dialog? | 22:11 |
| The_ManU_212 | thx stdin | 22:12 |
| jeisma | Alex135 but isn't that just the different splash screens? | 22:12 |
| DreadKnight | Xbehave_: alt + f2 ? | 22:12 |
| jeisma | Alex135 i don't see where you can change the bg here | 22:12 |
| Xbehave_ | i want to stick it in a konsole so i can find out whats wrong | 22:12 |
| jeisma | Alex135 nevermind i read it wrong | 22:12 |
| Alex135 | :) | 22:12 |
| stdin | Xbehave_: the "command" is "dcop kdesktop KDesktopIface popupExecuteCommand" | 22:12 |
| Daisuke_Ido | boot. head. | 22:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | TWICE. | 22:13 |
| _Angelus_ | so no one knows if i can resize my /home partition without loosing data? | 22:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | should be able to | 22:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | using qtparted or gparted | 22:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | of course, you should really do that from a live cd | 22:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | since you can't do it when it's mounted | 22:14 |
| _Angelus_ | yeah | 22:14 |
| _Angelus_ | but how much chance do i have to loose data? | 22:14 |
| Xbehave_ | thx,brb going to restart x see if it helps | 22:15 |
| Alex135 | Are the openGL screensavers suposed to take an image from the desktop and deform it? | 22:16 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:are you sure that address is corrct? it seems only to want ubuntu not kubuntu bugs reporting there...? | 22:16 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: ubuntu and kubuntu use the same packages, think of Ubuntu as the brand and Kubuntu as one of it's products | 22:17 |
| jack_spratt | stdin: well they do operate rather differently, though I know kde is rather 'tacked on' to gnome, ubuntus primary focus | 22:18 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:are you an evangelist? | 22:18 |
| jack_spratt | stdin:thanks for telling me that btw! | 22:18 |
| TimS | kde is not tacked on to gnome | 22:18 |
| stdin | jack_spratt: ubuntu is a project, it just so happens that it's primary product goes by the same name ;) | 22:18 |
| TimS | Kubuntu does not have gnome. | 22:18 |
| Alex135 | Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE installed instead of gnome (aswell as some other stuff) | 22:19 |
| TimS | Think of it as a car. You get the pergeuot 300 and the pergeuot 300 desil. One has petrol one has deisil. | 22:19 |
| TimS | But, you spell it right. | 22:19 |
| Ms-suse | whats the linux equivalent for active directory server? | 22:19 |
| TimS | That was terrible. | 22:19 |
| TimS | Ms-suse: Whats that? | 22:20 |
| Ms-suse | TimS, you know like server 2003, hosting a server based network based on active directory | 22:21 |
| TimS | /var/www? | 22:21 |
| Pentarex | is there any program like Flash get | 22:21 |
| TimS | I am not too good with servers :p | 22:22 |
| TimS | Kget | 22:22 |
| TimS | !kget | 22:22 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kget - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 22:22 |
| TimS | !info kget | 22:22 |
| ubotu | kget (source: kdenetwork): download manager for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 442 kB, installed size 1196 kB | 22:22 |
| Xbehave | Ms-suse: there are a few i think, i think novell have the best ones erm not sure if theres a complete equivelent | 22:22 |
| Pentarex | ok 10nx | 22:22 |
| Xbehave | thats not flash get is it thats just get | 22:22 |
| TimS | Flash get is a firefox plug in | 22:23 |
| TimS | You can get it for firefox. | 22:23 |
| Ms-suse | Xbehave, k, thanks | 22:23 |
| TimS | I assumed he meant download managers | 22:23 |
| TimS | Alex135: There are a lot of OpenGL screensavers | 22:24 |
| TimS | Some deform the desktop, some don't | 22:24 |
| Alex135 | TimS: yes, but the ones that do, are the suposed to take an image from the desktop? | 22:24 |
| TimS | I believe so. | 22:24 |
| Alex135 | TimS: because every time i try them, they just get some random image, and not an actual desktop image | 22:25 |
| TimS | Oh, an Image of anything in particular? | 22:25 |
| Alex135 | no, like of the space shuttle and such | 22:25 |
| Daisuke_Ido | flashGOT is a firefox plugin | 22:25 |
| Daisuke_Ido | flashGET is a windows-based download manager | 22:25 |
| TimS | Ah, it could be a setting in that case. | 22:25 |
| Daisuke_Ido | (which is what flashgot was originally designed to work with) | 22:25 |
| TimS | Ah, I did not realise there was a difference. | 22:26 |
| TimS | Well, I got the right one to start off with =] | 22:26 |
| Alex135 | TimS: i have tried with all the settings, non have anything to do with that | 22:26 |
| TimS | I would try it out, but I have no graphics drivers | 22:26 |
| TimS | The current nVidia ones for my card are broken :P | 22:26 |
| Alex135 | that hapened to my old one a while ago, then i finally got a new PC... | 22:27 |
| jklinck | hi :) with "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" i have no chance to switch my graphic driver, in the xorg.conf is also no driver entry for my intel card (Ubuntu Hardy; KDE 4) Gfxcard & Xorg.conf > http://pastebin.com/m3a6bc0cd | 22:27 |
| Alex135 | TimS: what do you mean when you say they are broken, when you try them do they just make your GUI go away and only text mode works? | 22:27 |
| TimS | Alex135: They cause random kernel freezes | 22:28 |
| TimS | Its a known bug, they haven't fixed it yet | 22:28 |
| TimS | I have the old ones, but I haven't got round to installing them | 22:28 |
| jklinck | i think its not the normal behaviour of dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to go directly to the keyboard settings by skipping the graphic settings | 22:28 |
| Alex135 | ah, ok | 22:28 |
| jklinck | or not? | 22:28 |
| Daisuke_Ido | jklinck: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 22:29 |
| TimS | You need to add -phigh | 22:29 |
| TimS | Daisuke_Ido: Does phigh stand for something? | 22:29 |
| Alex135 | TimS: just curious, because every time i install Nvidia drivers, i find that my monitor goes into sleep mode (indicating its recieving a signal it doens't know how to display) | 22:29 |
| Daisuke_Ido | TimS: priority - high | 22:30 |
| TimS | Ah, cool =] | 22:30 |
| jklinck | xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration | 22:30 |
| jklinck | file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080207003127 | 22:30 |
| TimS | Alex135: Sounds like a bad refresh rate. | 22:30 |
| jklinck | and nothing happens | 22:30 |
| c1|freaky | jklinck: what driver do you want to install? | 22:30 |
| Daisuke_Ido | jklinck: you'll need to restart your xserver | 22:30 |
| c1|freaky | you need to add the lines by yourself in hardy | 22:30 |
| jklinck | oh :/ | 22:30 |
| c1|freaky | hardy is really missing those configuration steps | 22:31 |
| c1|freaky | jklinck: what driver are u trying to switch to? | 22:31 |
| c1|freaky | are u trying to install the ati drivers manually? | 22:31 |
| Alex135 | TimS: dunno what it was, but i go into the Xorg.conf and i discover the normal resolution declaration functions arn't in there aswell as a lot of other things, but dpkg-reconfigure fixes it | 22:31 |
| jklinck | 965 GM (intel) so i installed the intel drivers | 22:31 |
| TimS | Alex135: I sometimes get it on other distros and have to use boot options, its not a great monitor. | 22:31 |
| TimS | Ah. Odd :P | 22:31 |
| Alex135 | TimS: hapened in Fedora too, but it could have been a combination of outdated Vidcard and probs with configuring the Xserver | 22:32 |
| jklinck | c1|freaky: so the whole autoconfiguration of the graphic adapters for xorg doesnt work in hardy right? | 22:32 |
| miladen | how do i run a .run file? | 22:32 |
| jklinck | miladen: ./foobar.run | 22:33 |
| miladen | ok thx | 22:33 |
| c1|freaky | yes. i had to add a few lines so the aticonfig --initial worked | 22:33 |
| Artimus | miladen: You might have to mark it as executable first. chmod +x foobar.run | 22:33 |
| miladen | thx dudes, ill try them all :D | 22:33 |
| dan__ | hello.. "huge" question comming up. :P | 22:34 |
| dan__ | since I installed KDE4 my xserver (I think) sometimes crashes when I, for example, use flash or pdf.. when I reboot some letters are lilac (in a sort of pattern).. and xserver (I think :P) won't start.. however.. If I let the comp be for a while it usually starts again.. anyone having the same problem or know any of it? | 22:34 |
| TimS | Fedora does that to people. | 22:34 |
| c1|freaky | jklinck: someone told me they are trying to get rid of the xorg.conf but im not sure ... | 22:34 |
| blue|palm | hi, i have just installed kate from kde 4 onto a regular ubuntu desktop, but the fonts are really ugly (aliased) is there any way to fix this? | 22:34 |
| Alex135 | TimS: Any idea why i am forced to add the boot option -nolapic to get my kernel to load (running on duel core 64 bit) | 22:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | they're trying to get to a point where users never need to touch the xorg.conf | 22:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and it's getting there | 22:35 |
| TimS | Nope, sorry. I am running dual core, 32 bit | 22:35 |
| jklinck | c1|freaky: i think for the casual user its really hard to debug the xserver and to set the right paramters in the xorg.conf.... so a new way of configuration(easier) would help a lot | 22:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | every successive release has gotten a bit better on this front | 22:36 |
| jklinck | blue|palm: #kubuntu-kde4 | 22:36 |
| miladen | chmoit sais bash: ./: is a directory | 22:36 |
| dan__ | oh.. and it crashes in kde3 | 22:36 |
| miladen | sorry, It says .. | 22:36 |
| miladen | it sais bash: ./: is a directory when i try to run it... | 22:37 |
| jklinck | c1|freaky: but i think I'm not ready for the bleeding edge of ubuntu hardy :) so i switch back to gutsy... | 22:38 |
| jklinck | miladen: what for a cmd have you tried? | 22:38 |
| Daisuke_Ido | miladen: remove the space between / and the filename | 22:38 |
| c1|freaky | ok ^^ | 22:38 |
| jklinck | c1|freaky: but thanks for the information | 22:39 |
| miladen | Daisuke_Ido that did the trick :D | 22:39 |
| dan__ | meh. whi do I always get the wierd errors :( | 22:39 |
| c1|freaky | np | 22:39 |
| c1|freaky | :D | 22:39 |
| Daisuke_Ido | dan__: if letting the comp sit for a while (off) fixes the problem, it's a hardware issue. | 22:40 |
| jklinck | dan__: i think you are not alone... but "have you tried to turn it off and on again"? xD | 22:40 |
| dan__ | oh yeah. then it works | 22:41 |
| tzd | can anyone tell me if: "cp -a" will be enough for a move of "home" directory please? Read all kinds of guides and the last one I've found used find .. pipe ... and that definitely didn't work... I want to move my home folder to a separate partition | 22:41 |
| dan__ | but is it a kde4 issue. since it never happened before | 22:41 |
| Alex135 | dan_: i had a few strange errors a while back, found out it was due to a failing hdd | 22:41 |
| Artimus | tzd: Looks like it. It has all the options you need | 22:42 |
| dan__ | Alex135: meh. now i got all worried. :P | 22:42 |
| smeril | when i try to add a new user in terminal with comand adduser it says that only root can add users what can i do about that? | 22:42 |
| Artimus | tzd: I add -v for verbose as well. But -a is all you need. | 22:42 |
| Alex135 | dan_: glad i could calm your nerves :P | 22:42 |
| jklinck | smeril: use "sudo adduser NAME" | 22:42 |
| dan__ | Alex135: :P | 22:42 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it's probably not a direct result of kde4 | 22:42 |
| Daisuke_Ido | more or less just a coincidence that the problems are showing up now | 22:43 |
| Ms-suse | when is kde4 going to be available as an alternate install in the 8.4 | 22:43 |
| Ms-suse | ? | 22:43 |
| Alex135 | dan_: i was having strange isues like when i installed java it would download, but on the install part of it, it couldn't find the file | 22:43 |
| dan__ | ah. kk. thanks anyways guys | 22:43 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Ms-suse: it's going to be in the repos | 22:43 |
| tzd | Artimus: Are you sure :) Been trying past 7-8 hours to get it working and now I'm finally back to where i started ;) The thing that messed it up badly was most likely the: cp -a /var/* thingie but I'm not sure, that's why I'm asking here :) | 22:43 |
| Ms-suse | Daisuke_Ido, so, it wont be included in the isos? | 22:43 |
| smeril | thanks but what is the next step? | 22:43 |
| jklinck | smeril: if you need root privileges you can run it as a so called sudoer(the users who are allowed to run root cmd's) but to tell the system that this command should run under root u must use "sudo" in front of the cmd | 22:44 |
| tzd | Artimus: the var folder was a side thingie that i wanted to run on a separate partition as well... just as with tmp and usr and also home | 22:44 |
| smeril | i think i made it | 22:45 |
| jklinck | smeril: there is no next step, type in the user password twice and you created one | 22:45 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Ms-suse: not to my knowledge, no | 22:45 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and it shouldn't be | 22:45 |
| Alex135 | you can alwase get into root by running 'sudo su' but then i have had GUI problems with that, like starting up apps that require a gui dont work right | 22:45 |
| Artimus | tzd: cp -a is just an alias for cp -dpR, those are the options I use every day. cp -a /home /newhome | 22:45 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it's *not ready* for end users, yet NO ONE seems to get that. | 22:45 |
| Artimus | tzd: You have to be careful, cp -a /home/USER/* will not actually grab the dotfiles from their home directory | 22:46 |
| tzd | Artimus: I'll give your advice a shot though :) Will i be able to do it KDE or do i need to it in text mode? | 22:46 |
| jklinck | Alex135: you have GUI problems because your X-Environment is not present... so the apps dont know where the desktop is | 22:46 |
| gustavonarea | Hello, everyone. I was using KDE and for a reason I don't know, my system got frozen. I pressed CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE and when I logged in again, all my KDE-related configurations disappeared. Everything, including my emails, is lost. I'm using Kubuntu Gutsy. Could someone help me out, please? | 22:46 |
| Daisuke_Ido | they think "oh, hey, 4.0, neat, all the bugs should be worked out and it'll be the best thing since sliced bread and it'll even walk my dog and do my laundry and wash my dishes" but it AIN'T LIKE THAT. | 22:46 |
| Artimus | tzd: Open up a terminal. Should be under System. "Konsole" or "Terminal Program" | 22:46 |
| Ms-suse | Daisuke_Ido, well, it doesnt bother me that it's not ready, i would just rather have it natively installed rather then installing it from repos | 22:46 |
| gustavonarea | That's not it. Many personal files were deleted too. | 22:47 |
| tzd | Artimus: oh ok... hmm how do i get the dot files? I suppose i need them as well? | 22:47 |
| Alex135 | jklinck: yeah thats probably it... how do i fix that? | 22:47 |
| Artimus | tzd: They're the linux version of "hidden files". It's all of your settings, so yeah. | 22:48 |
| gustavonarea | The only "new" thing to my system was Gnomad. I was not doing anything sensitive. I'm using Linux for years, I'm not new at all. Any hints? | 22:48 |
| jklinck | Alex135: open the apps with root priviliges with the command "kdesu" | 22:48 |
| jklinck | Alex135: as a normal user | 22:49 |
| Artimus | tzd: What exactly are you trying to do here? Make a backup or move it? | 22:49 |
| tzd | Artimus: move it | 22:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Ms-suse: not gonna happen | 22:49 |
| Artimus | tzd: Alright, where is it going to be moved to? | 22:49 |
| Alex135 | jklinck: ah ok, i was just wondering if there was a setting i had to set somewhere | 22:49 |
| tzd | to a partition called sda8 | 22:49 |
| Artimus | tzd: Is it mounted? | 22:50 |
| tzd | Artimus: to a partition called sda8 | 22:50 |
| tzd | Artimus: not yet | 22:50 |
| Artimus | tzd: Mount the thing somewhere first. /media/sda8 or something. | 22:50 |
| === yerkorn is now known as Yerkorn | ||
| nik | UE' | 22:50 |
| tzd | Artimus: ok mounted it to: /mnt/newhome | 22:51 |
| Artimus | tzd: Alright. cp -av /home/* /mnt/newhome/ | 22:51 |
| Artimus | The added v will just show you what it's doing... | 22:51 |
| Alex135 | Why do i need to add the -nolapic boot option to make my kernel load? (Duel Core 64bit Processor and ubuntu version) | 22:54 |
| tzd | Artimus: ok and that will do it? | 22:55 |
| jklinck | Alex135: (APIC) A Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC) that can handle interrupts from and for multiple CPUs, and, usually, has more available interrupt lines that a typical PIC. | 22:55 |
| Alex135 | jklinck: oh | 22:56 |
| jklinck | Alex135: the L in no"l"apic is for laptop functions, wich are also deactivated | 22:56 |
| Alex135 | jklinck: i thought that stood for local... | 22:57 |

| LilSarge | can someone help me get Compiz / Emerald working.... i'v tried everything | 22:59 |
| Alex135 | LilSarge: it doesn't work right in Kubuntu | 22:59 |
| LilSarge | my cousin got it working on his... was that luck? | 23:00 |
| Alex135 | LilSarge: are you wanting the gnome desktop effect functions to work? | 23:01 |
| LilSarge | KDE | 23:01 |
| ali__ | hi everybody | 23:01 |
| LilSarge | hi | 23:01 |
| Alex135 | LilSarge: ah, well i tried to get it working and to get the Gnome Desktop effects to work in KDE and i had no success | 23:01 |
| jklinck | Alex135: on high load it performs slower with deactivated apic | 23:01 |
| Alex135 | LilSarge: what have you tried? | 23:02 |
| ali__ | try to install kcompiz | 23:02 |
| ali__ | i did n it works | 23:02 |
| ali__ | but.. not as good as gnome ;) | 23:02 |
| LilSarge | umm i dont know this stuff on top of my head, just went to websites for help and my cousin tried helping | 23:02 |

| Pentarex | can anyone help me with NVIDIA driver install ? | 23:02 |
| Alex135 | jklinck: any idea how to get it to load my kernel without the -nolapic boot option included? | 23:03 |
| ali__ | well i first added internet repos n then deactivated all DVD repo | 23:03 |
| ali__ | unistalled all compiz packages | 23:03 |

| Pentarex | anyone ? | 23:03 |
| Alex135 | Pentarex: i can | 23:03 |
| Pentarex | Alex135: aa thank you | 23:03 |
| Pentarex | Alex135: what i must to do | 23:03 |
| Artimus | tzd: Sorry, had a phone call to deal with. Yes, that will copy it over. Tell me when that's done. | 23:04 |
| Pentarex | Alex135: ctrl+alt+f1 :) then | 23:04 |
| ali__ | but i have even bigger problem with kubuntu now!! | 23:04 |
| Pentarex | Alex135: but i dont know the pass for root in this console | 23:04 |
| Pici | !root | 23:04 |
| ubotu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:04 |
| jack_spratt | its possible to install kubuntu onto a 2gb usb pendrive isnt it? | 23:04 |
| ali__ | i can not use my kontact kmail and akregator | 23:05 |

| Alex135 | Pentarex: alright, while i wait il lget up the info i need | 23:06 |
| Artimus | tzd: When you're done, you're going to need to tell the box to mount sda8 (or whatever you said it was) as your new home partition. | 23:06 |
| sensae | Anyone know what's up and how I can fix it? It interferes with my NFS mounting in fstab | 23:06 |

| Artimus | tzd: I think there's actually a nice way to do it in KDE. I've never tried it. | 23:08 |
| Pentarex | i think it was /msg cs reg but ... | 23:09 |
| Artimus | tzd: It's called Disk & Filesystems. It should be under System Administration... | 23:09 |
| tzd | Artimus: you mean via the control center? I'm in there as well although I'm quite sure the settings won't last? | 23:09 |
| Pentarex | Alex135: when u rdy i am too | 23:10 |
| Alex135 | Pentarex: /msg nickserv register <your-password> | 23:10 |
| tzd | Artimus: I'll give the kde another chance ;) | 23:11 |
| Artimus | tzd: Anything that requires you to click the Administer button is pretty permanent :P | 23:11 |
| tzd | Artimus: should be alright then... probably just me doing something wrong in there... this time i'll be more careful | 23:12 |
| Artimus | tzd: Otherwise, adding an fstab line isn't too hard. I've just never used the little GUI thing. I still use apt from the command line out of habbit | 23:12 |
| tzd | Artimus: yeah im usually more into the whole GUI thing although it's quite nice using commands as well | 23:13 |
| Artimus | tzd: I recommend you just move your old home directory when you're done, rather than delete it. Just in case things didn't work. | 23:14 |
| jack_spratt | its possible to install kubuntu onto a 2gb usb pendrive isnt it? | 23:15 |
| ali__ | so wat about my Kontact not working? | 23:15 |
| tzd | Artimus: alright, added: /home to mount location. Type is ext3. Checked the options: "activate on start" and "writeable". Mount rights are set to: Only system admin can activate or inactivate | 23:16 |
| Artimus | tzd: Sounds right to me. Click save if there's a save button and quit out. We'll check fstab just to verify. | 23:16 |
| tzd | Artimus: ok, will run mv /home /home.bak | 23:16 |

| Artimus | tzd: Not quite yet | 23:16 |
| Artimus | tzd: You don't want to do that until right before you reboot... | 23:17 |
| tzd | Artimus: ok | 23:17 |
| genii | jack_spratt: If you basically copy the livecd version and modify the fstab 2Gb is OK. If you want a fullblown install, look more towards 4Gb | 23:17 |
| Artimus | tzd: Alright, open a terminal and run this as a normal user: cat /etc/fstab | grep home | 23:17 |
| tzd | Artimus: i've clicked ok and set the mount point etc, although, the partition is inactivated? | 23:17 |
| sensae | Every time I start up I have to go into the network manager, and disable / enable my wired connection to get it to DHCP. Anyone know how to fix this? | 23:18 |
| Artimus | tzd: The command will tell you if it worked. It should spit out a line, please paste that line here (it's not that long) | 23:18 |
| tzd | Artimus: /dev/sda8 /home ext3 nouser,atime,auto,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 | 23:18 |
| jack_spratt | genii: more towards? will a fresh install fit on a 2gb one? | 23:18 |
| Artimus | tzd: That's fine. /dev/sda8 was your new partition, right? | 23:18 |
| genii | jack_spratt: No, not enough room. Default install is about 2.6G | 23:18 |
| tzd | Artimus: yep :) | 23:18 |
| jack_spratt | hmm, are kubuntu xubuntu any smaller do you know? | 23:19 |
| Demonho-br | helloooo | 23:19 |
| Artimus | tzd: Alright. Close anything you have open (specifically any email clients). mv /home /homebak | 23:19 |
| Demonho-br | hello, my keyboard is u.s im running kde and i can see the flag u.s in my panel.. but i cant type everything right. ´e ´a C~ao i want these symbols.. above letters. how can i do it ? | 23:19 |
| genii | jack_spratt: Xubuntu takes just about 2G, very close | 23:19 |
| Artimus | tzd: Then reboot and hope for the best... Everything looks right to me. | 23:19 |

| Demonho-br | in kcontrol i had set. use keyboard layout. its us intl keyboard model pc105 because its a notebook | 23:20 |
| Demonho-br | :( | 23:20 |
| tzd | Artimus: the "nouser" in fstab.. that doesn't affect my right to use the partition as user? | 23:20 |
| Artimus | tzd: That just says that you as a user can't unmount it | 23:20 |
| tzd | Artimus: ok cool. ok, will give it a go and hopefully I'm back within the next 5-10 minutes. Thanks for your help and patience in this matter! Highly appreciated! :) | 23:20 |
| Artimus | tzd: I wish you the best | 23:21 |
| tzd | Artimus: cheers :) | 23:21 |
| genii | jack_spratt: A way of basically using the Casper version (livecd) and moving then modifying some files on it to work on a usb stick can be found here: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-usb-bar | 23:23 |
| genii | jack_spratt: That will run on less than 1 Gb leaving room for installing a few things | 23:24 |
| yurimxpxman | what can I use to convert a video to VOB? | 23:25 |
| Daisuke_Ido | k3b | 23:25 |
| tekteen | yurimxpxman: mencoder | 23:25 |
| tekteen | yurimxpxman: for a gui dvd creator use devede | 23:26 |
| tekteen | !info devede | 23:26 |
| ubotu | devede (source: devede): program to create video DVDs. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 2.13-0.0 (gutsy), package size 741 kB, installed size 1700 kB | 23:26 |
| Edulix | hi sometimes alsa amarok (using xine backend) says that the device is in use | 23:26 |
| Edulix | I restart alsa (/etc/init.d/alsa restart) and it still says so | 23:27 |
| Edulix | and the only way I've found to fix it is..rebooting | 23:27 |
| Edulix | (not even cat /dev/random > /dev/audio works, it says "device busy") | 23:27 |
| crimsun | well, using oss emulation is blocking unless you have hardware capable of multiopen. | 23:28 |
| crimsun | so, as root/using sudo, lsof /dev/dsp* /dev/audio* /dev/mixer* /dev/seq* /dev/snd/* | 23:28 |
| jack_spratt | genii: thats really great thanks | 23:28 |
| genii | jack_spratt: np | 23:30 |
| sub[t]rnl | heres another usefull page for all things usb. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ | 23:31 |
| pdenapo | Hi, the latest kernel 2.6.22.14.21 for gutsy seems to have some nasty bug. My computer fails to boot with it,it hangs with a message "waiting for the root filesystem" | 23:32 |
| pdenapo | the kernel 2.6.25-5 from hardy has the same problem. However a _vanilla_ 2.6.24 kernel compiled by hand just works fine | 23:33 |
| pdenapo | I seems to be something related to the ide disk | 23:33 |
| genii | pdenapo: Likely your initram does not not contain the driver needed to understand what ide controller driver to load prior to mounting root fs | 23:34 |
| c1|freaky | ok now again. i have a question about apt-pinning. i installed drivers from ati.com and dont want ubuntu to upgrade the drivers to the ubuntu versions. i wrote the following in /etc/apt/preferences: http://main.freakyy.de/apt-pinning.txt - it still tries to install ubuntu packages when doing apt-get upgrade - can someone help me and tell me what im doing wrong? | 23:35 |
| pdenapo | I just skiped using the initrd | 23:35 |
| pdenapo | and the vanilla kernel works | 23:35 |
| jack_spratt | genii: how would I go about making a fresh kubuntu install share an existing KDE distro's /home directory? | 23:35 |
| pdenapo | I would like to report the bug properly, however how may I capture the messages from a kernel that fails to boot? | 23:35 |
| jack_spratt | pdenapo: boot up a livecd, and access the logs | 23:36 |
| genii | c1|freaky: Since the ubuntu drivers are contained within the meta-package of restricted-drivers it could be a bit tricky if you use other restricted drivers than the ati one | 23:36 |
| c1|freaky | im using ati drivers but from ati.com | 23:36 |
| c1|freaky | i dont want to use the ones from kubuntu | 23:36 |
| c1|freaky | they never worked for me. | 23:36 |
| Pentarex | Alex135: | 23:37 |
| c1|freaky | and now they even try to replace the working ones ^^ | 23:37 |
| Alex135 | Pentarex: yes? | 23:37 |
| tzd | Artimus: that didn't work I'm afraid. The error message i get when i try to login is: "could not start kstartup config" | 23:37 |
| Pentarex | how to id | 23:37 |
| Alex135 | ? | 23:37 |
| Pentarex | how to identified me | 23:37 |
| genii | jack_spratt: Is the /home on a separate partition ? | 23:37 |
| jack_spratt | no | 23:37 |
| Pentarex | to ident my nickname | 23:38 |
| Pentarex | ? | 23:38 |
| Alex135 | /msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password> | 23:38 |
| Demonho-br | what about my Keyboard !! ? | 23:38 |
| pdenapo | jack_spratt: the problem is that if the kernel cannot mount the root filesystem, syslog won't just work | 23:38 |
| jack_spratt | genii: no | 23:38 |
| sub[t]rnl | c1|freaky➜ is there a reason your leaving out the pin-priority in your /etc/apt/prefrences? | 23:39 |
| jack_spratt | pdenapo: im not sure sorry | 23:39 |
| c1|freaky | sub[t]rnl: its optional .. | 23:39 |
| c1|freaky | ill try priority 99 | 23:39 |
| c1|freaky | ? | 23:39 |
| sub[t]rnl | try 1001 | 23:39 |
| pdenapo | jack_spratt: many thanks anyway | 23:40 |
| jack_spratt | :) | 23:40 |
| andre_ | hello all... | 23:40 |
| c1|freaky | sub[t]rnl: still tries to upgrade :(( | 23:40 |
| jack_spratt | genii:? | 23:41 |
| tzd | Artimus: actually now when i checked my home dir, the free space is a lot bigger (it's using the partition). Although it won't work when i move the default home directory. | 23:41 |
| Daisuke_Ido | mmmkay, patience certainly got interesting with the new version | 23:41 |
| andre_ | i was using gnu/linux many years ... - in many distros (suse6.2-9.2 / debian3.1/4.0 gentoo lfs and so on) - but kubuntu is the best distro off all !!! | 23:41 |
| andre_ | iam thanking all developers of kubuntu ! | 23:42 |
| andre_ | ubuntu is better as distro, but i dont like gnome, so iam using kubuntu... | 23:42 |
| Daisuke_Ido | just out of curiosity, why don't you like gnome? | 23:43 |
| Chaos_17 | test | 23:43 |
| genii_ | Gah. Ghosted | 23:44 |
| andre_ | cause it have to less options for personalisations... | 23:44 |
| === genii_ is now known as genii | ||
| andre_ | hope my english is not to broken *g | 23:45 |
| genii | c1|freaky: Did you get my last message or 2? | 23:45 |
| genii | jack_spratt: So as I gather.. you want to keep a standalone install on hard drive, then occasionally boot to usb but use the /home on the hard drive as the /home when you boot to usb? | 23:45 |
| andre_ | of course, i mean the best desktop-distro... on servers i would prefer debian or gentoo | 23:47 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i wouldn't recommend gentoo unless you like working on your computer more than getting work done | 23:47 |
| Daisuke_Ido | debian on a server, most definitely | 23:47 |
| jack_spratt | genii: perhaps, but im also considering squeezing kubuntu onto a 4gb ish partition next to an existing kde based linux install, and to save space and to make for ease of use, have them both share the same /home folder | 23:48 |
| c1|freaky | i got it to work | 23:48 |
| c1|freaky | i forgot the version part | 23:48 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i just hear a lot of new users saying "oh, i hate gnome" and i have to ask why... and i inevitably get the same answer: "you can't change it" and i have to ask "did you try it, or were you just told that gnome sucks?" most of the time, they're just told and never bother to look for themselves. | 23:48 |
| jack_spratt | genii: does that sound plausible? cant i just set the home mount point on another automounted partition? | 23:48 |
| c1|freaky | thank you :D | 23:48 |
| andre_ | Daisuke_Ido, i dont understand why u wouldnt recommend gentoo | 23:49 |
| genii | jack_spratt: Yes, that will work. | 23:49 |
| jack_spratt | genii so during the installation process i have the opportunity to set the home mount point, and then i can point it to another partition | 23:50 |
| jack_spratt | genii: and the .kde files etc being shared wont mess up either one of the installations? | 23:50 |
| andre_ | gentoo is great if u need special server-applicatioons... or secial settings | 23:50 |
| genii | jack_spratt: You could also do something like put a bindmount of /mountpoint/harddrive/home /home or so | 23:50 |
| genii | jack_spratt: So that all new users will also be created on the hd as well and not on the usb | 23:50 |
| jack_spratt | genii, hmm, whats a bindmount? | 23:51 |
| jack_spratt | ! bindmount | 23:51 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bindmount - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:51 |
| genii | jack_spratt: bind mount is to mount a directory somewhere else | 23:51 |
| jack_spratt | i see like a permanent virual link | 23:52 |
| tlayton | hmm, with today's updates, it's like my mouse driver is loaded twice. every click is a double click, including on spaces like the window bars. anybody? | 23:52 |
| jack_spratt | genii: ok that sounds like it could work - can you create a bindmount without using cli? | 23:53 |
| genii | jack_spratt: Well, best is to put an fstab entry for it, but you may have to use cli for that part. | 23:53 |
| jack_spratt | genii: ok im pretty comfortable with fsmount | 23:54 |
| jack_spratt | genii: you see, my dads familiar with pclos, but only kubuntu will work with his video card without VESA | 23:54 |
| sensae | Hrm. Would I have a problem mounting an NFS of my /home on an openSuSE system right on top of my home on Kubuntu? | 23:54 |
| jack_spratt | genii:so to have both might be a compramise (windows is already on there in another partition) | 23:55 |
| Daisuke_Ido | what's his video card? | 23:56 |
| genii | jack_spratt: I would say to setup the kubuntu usb stick with whatever default user, then afterwards create a new user with same name as on hd. Then make an fstab entry for just that user to mount for instance /mnt/olddrive/home/username to usb dir of /home/username | 23:56 |
| jack_spratt | Daisuke_Ido: intel 845 chipset | 23:57 |
| jack_spratt | genii: sounds like a plan, very useful, thanks | 23:57 |
| genii | jack_spratt: np | 23:58 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ow... | 23:58 |
| jack_spratt | Daisuke_Ido: meh, just tried replacing the i810 drivers on pclos07 with that from kubuntu, but it still just freezes on test like before | 23:59 |
