| [mfk] | thank you with that link, i've seen the image of the installation/disinstallation of Wubi (700mb) so i've thinked, I've simply moved the file to the trash!!! but i haven't disinstalled it! | 00:00 |

| [mfk] | really thanks :) | 00:00 |
| unagi | does anyone know how to take raw data from a gps and plot it out in google maps? | 00:00 |
| ignoramus | [mfk]: on behalf of all who helped - no problem. | 00:00 |
| [mfk] | so what do you suggest for the next installation? Manual or what? I believe i have to read the link you pasted me previuosly about the Breezy loaded on external USB drive | 00:01 |
| ignoramus | [mfk]: well, i'd suggest Kubuntu, naturally ;) | 00:02 |
| === patrick_ is now known as oloughlin75 | ||
| [mfk] | oh yes of course, Kubuntu :) but i was asking if make the installation manually or throught the gui | 00:03 |
| ignoramus | [mfk]: let me ask you a question - how do you set a message for when you leave the irc server? | 00:03 |
| ignoramus | [mfk]: manual, because you may run into issues installing an OS onto an HDD which you cannot boot from. Just to be safe | 00:04 |
| unagi | does anyone here use gps with ubuntu? | 00:04 |
| [mfk] | ignoramus: i don't know, i've installed this IRC opensource client called Bersirc IRC Client 2.2.14 about 5 minutes before entering here, why? | 00:04 |
| mixed | how do I find out information in my computer, like the CPU/MEM KDE SuSE style? | 00:05 |
| oloughlin75 | Does 8.04 come with KDE4 or do you have to install it? | 00:05 |
| mixed | I meant to say how do I find out information about my computer? CPU/Mem/distro installed etc | 00:05 |
| ignoramus | [mfk]: cause when you left, it said this: "<-- [mfk] has left this server ("Yummy, like ircing on a cake! [ http://www.bersirc.org/ - Open Source IRC ]")." | 00:05 |
| [mfk] | unagi : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1808141 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=219463 | 00:05 |
| [mfk] | dunno but i believe you can simply try //quit blah blah blah | 00:06 |
| ignoramus | [mfk]: that works :P | 00:07 |
| [mfk] | eeheh yes :) | 00:07 |
| sub[t]rnl | mixed➜ /proc/ will have your information. i.e cat /proc/cpuinfo , also look to lshw,lspci,df -h,free -m. kinfocenter for a gui | 00:07 |
| [mfk] | okay i've to go to bed here 1.07 | 00:07 |

| [mfk] | thank you all for the help | 00:07 |
| ignoramus | sub[t]rnl: crap, i never knew about kinfocenter before! Where in the menu is it, or can it only be accessed via terminal or Run command? | 00:08 |
| [mfk] | ignoramus: i will follow you suggestion about the manual installation (for the USB bootup trouble). However i'm going to read the thread i've printed about loading Kubuntu on external USB drive | 00:09 |
| ignoramus | [mfk]: good luck to you, kind sir | 00:09 |
| mixed | sub[t]rnl, thanks for the info, I don't see anything similar to I think is :/sysinfo on SuSE, I'll figure it out later, thanks, im outie | 00:09 |

| bobleny | snarkster, the part of the out put that says, "used", is that the amount of RAM that my system is using? | 00:17 |

| bobleny | snarkster, I just installed a new memory chip, and according to the, "used part", I am using more ram than I had before??? | 00:18 |
| snarkster | bobleny: rightyou just upgraded memory right? | 00:18 |
| mefisto__ | snarkster: can you suggest something? or hint at what is causing the error? | 00:18 |
| bobleny | Correct... | 00:19 |
| oloughlin75 | How do I get .wma to play? 95% of my library is wma | 00:19 |
| snarkster | bobleny: if you just upgraded adding more momory then you will use more memory automatically | 00:19 |
| bobleny | snarkster: lol... How? | 00:19 |
| snarkster | mefisto__: nope if it breaks like that I usually just re-install | 00:19 |
| sub[t]rnl | bobleny➜ gnu/linux tries to cache and buffer as much memory as possible. It does this to be more efficient. the line you'll want to pay attention too from free -m is the buffers/cache line, to get a grasp on what is "actually" available | 00:20 |
| snarkster | bobleny: did you install more memory? | 00:20 |
| bobleny | snarkster: Yes. | 00:20 |

| FrauHansen | hi guys. is there a command to switch between virtual desktops, so that i can use it with xbindkeys? | 00:25 |
| bobleny | sub[t]rnl: Does windows do that? | 00:25 |
| sub[t]rnl | if linux needs more memory that it has free after cache and buffering, it will let go of some of the buffer | 00:25 |

| sub[t]rnl | well, if you see the splash screen and a moving progress bar, then it will be ok. If it doesn't do anything after the progress bar, it sounds like kdm isn't getting loaded due to a bad xorg.conf | 00:43 |

| sub[t]rnl | not a current install, that I'm aware of | 01:35 |
| biovore | vmware might.. its kinda ify though.. | 01:35 |
| frank23 | mojosound: i think that is possible but really not recommended. windows has to survive the shock of booting under completely new (virtual) hardware | 01:35 |

| frank23 | i think that is the section you need | 02:30 |
| ubotu | Found: libruby1.8, libxml++2.6-dev, libxml++2.6-doc, libxml++2.6c2a, libxml-commons-resolver1.1-java (and 122 others) | 02:30 |

| frank23 | libxm might be in libmotif3 | 02:35 |
| tarin | anyone know anything about installing the server version of gutsy | 02:36 |
| frank23 | tarin: I never tried it but what's your problem? | 02:38 |
| tarin | well everything is command line until i can get an internet connection to work so that i can install kde | 02:39 |
| frank23 | yeah | 02:40 |
| momal | Hey I am having trouble getting audio working after few package updates the other day here is the info on my problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=692884 | 02:40 |
| tarin | problem is i keep getting a sendamail error when i try to access the net interfaces to setup the eth0 | 02:40 |
| fumanchu | tarin, i think the server version comes without kde or whatever and you shouldn't install it .. that's because you don't need it in a server.. | 02:41 |
| tarin | yeah i know but im not very good in the command line yet | 02:42 |
| tarin | im still fairly new to linux | 02:42 |
| fumanchu | why don't install the regular version then.. | 02:42 |
| frank23 | tarin: you could install kubuntu first then install the ubuntu-server package if you just want to try things out | 02:43 |
| tarin | i am going to be running a webserver | 02:43 |
| fumanchu | you can have the webserver anyway.. | 02:43 |

| brian_ | Hey I am trying to copy files from my root hard drive to my back up hard drive but it is telling me "Access is denied" | 03:49 |
| MrJoey | Make sure you're doing it as superuser, for one thing | 03:50 |
| brian_ | I believe I am | 03:50 |
| brian_ | I am doing it as root | 03:50 |
| MrJoey | For instance, in the terminal, sudo su, then cp -r old_files /media/something/backup_files | 03:50 |
| MrJoey | Also, type mount | 03:51 |
| === zakame_ is now known as zakame | ||
| MrJoey | and make sure that rw is one of the options on the target drive | 03:51 |
| MrJoey | If you're writing to NTFS, you may run into trouble because NTFS write support is quite new | 03:51 |
| brian_ | It's just ext3 | 03:51 |
| MrJoey | Mount should give you listings, one of which might be: /dev/sdb3 on /media/sdb3 type ext3 (rw) | 03:52 |
| MrJoey | I mean 'mount | 03:52 |
| MrJoey | ' | 03:52 |
| MrJoey | If it says (ro), you won't be able to write to it | 03:52 |
| brian_ | ?? Its mounted is /proc | 03:53 |
| brian_ | What does that mean? | 03:53 |
| MrJoey | Well, there's other stuff, too | 03:53 |
| MrJoey | /dev/sda2 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) | 03:53 |
| MrJoey | proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev | 03:53 |
| MrJoey | .. | 03:53 |
| MrJoey | That's what my 'mount' starts with | 03:53 |

| kaan | hey everyone | 04:44 |
| kaan | I'm new to Kubuntu | 04:44 |
| Absurdo | congratulations! | 04:44 |
| kaan | and need to develop a simple ray-tracing program | 04:44 |
| kaan | which compiler do you guys recommend? | 04:45 |
| kaan | thnx absurdo | 04:45 |
| kaan | oh c++ | 04:45 |
| biovore | gcc/g++ | 04:45 |
| kaan | and I love kubuntu so far | 04:45 |
| Absurdo | i learning python :D | 04:45 |
| kaan | how do I install gcc/g++???? | 04:45 |
| MrJoey | sudo apt-get install build-essential | 04:45 |
| biovore | apt-get install build-essentials | 04:45 |
| biovore | essential | 04:46 |
| kaan | sweet | 04:46 |
| === Jim__ is now known as uppity | ||
| MrJoey | Then to install libraries, you do sudo apt-get install foo-dev, where foo is the name of the library | 04:46 |
| kaan | which libraries? | 04:46 |
| MrJoey | apt-cache search foo will let you search for stuff (though you may want to pipe it into less if the list gets long) e.g.: apt-cache search foo | less | 04:46 |
| kaan | hm ok | 04:47 |
| MrJoey | What will you raytrace to? The screen? A picture file? | 04:47 |
| kaan | yep a picture file | 04:47 |
| MrJoey | Okay, if anything, you might need a library for the target picture format (unless you build the structure manually) | 04:47 |
| kaan | but i guess it would be cool if i could render it in OpenGL | 04:47 |
| kaan | ah gotcha | 04:47 |
| kaan | thnx mrjoey | 04:48 |
| kaan | :) | 04:48 |
| MrJoey | Then you would install libgl1-mesa-dev (if you want to use OpenGL) | 04:48 |
| MrJoey | I found that out by typing `apt-cache search opengl | less` followed by using some background knowledge of the Linux software stack | 04:48 |
| MrJoey | (to pick the right one) | 04:49 |
| kaan | okay so I installed g++ how do I run it??? | 04:49 |
| kaan | just use Kate and compile? | 04:49 |
| kaan | is there an IDE for it? | 04:50 |
| mefisto__ | apt-cache show package will give you more info, if you need a longer description | 04:50 |
| stdin | kaan: Kate is a decent IDE for C/C++ with highlighting and indentation, kdevelop is a more in-depth IDE with features like code completion. But for a simple app you can just write it an any editor and do "g++ main.cpp -o myapp" then run it with "./myapp" | 04:55 |
| kaan | sweet i was just checking out Kate but I'm gonna need something more than simple... so thank you | 04:56 |
| WeedGrinch | When i try to copy files onto my flash drive it tells me "I/O error" any help? | 04:58 |
| mefisto__ | WeedGrinch: is it mounted? can you see files on it? | 05:00 |
| kaan | what filesystem does your flash drive use? Format? | 05:00 |
| WeedGrinch | i dk the format | 05:01 |
| WeedGrinch | and yea, i can see what is o it | 05:01 |
| WeedGrinch | i tried as root, and no luck | 05:01 |
| WeedGrinch | ill try on KDE :( | 05:02 |
| mefisto__ | WeedGrinch: can you create a new file on the disk? try creating just an empty text file | 05:02 |
| stevan__ | how do i install a .tar | 05:02 |
| stratman4300 | stevan | tar -xvf /filenamehere will expand the file in it's current location | 05:04 |
| uppity | a .tar is just another compression form | 05:05 |
| pramod | :D | 05:07 |
| pramod | i use kubuntu 7.10 along with windows XP... how i set the default boot os to Windows XP? | 05:08 |
| stratman4300 | pramod... what are you using for a boot loader?? | 05:09 |
| MrJoey | edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change default to the OS number (as in, the OS list, the top item being zero) | 05:09 |
| MrJoey | (If you're using GRUB) | 05:09 |

| yasahiro | well... last time i tried converting a video, my computer shut down... all by itself... | 09:26 |
| yasahiro | at the time... i figured it was just something wrong with the program, and forgot about it. now, i cant play a game without it shutting down.. | 09:27 |
| yasahiro | any ideas? | 09:29 |
| yasahiro | now, my worst fear is that my processor is overheating.. | 09:31 |

| yasahiro | hello zakame | 09:33 |

| zakame_ | are there any messages that come up before your computer shuts down? | 09:34 |

| zakame_ | hmm so I just shutdown, powers off? | 09:34 |
| zakame_ | *it | 09:34 |
| yasahiro | pretty much | 09:34 |
| yasahiro | no confirmations... | 09:34 |
| yasahiro | just... shuts down | 09:35 |
| zakame_ | that's weird | 09:35 |
| yasahiro | granted, it does go through the process, which is all fine and good, but i dont want it to shut down... lol | 09:35 |

| jpatrick | fumanchu: yes, we knew that | 09:46 |

| yasahiro | Thermal 1: ok, 44.0 degrees C | 09:46 |

| cpk1 | I was in the middle of upgrading to gutsy and it looks like adept zombified, can I kill it and then restart without causing problems? | 09:48 |

| fumanchu | why? .... cause it may be exploited ?? maybe.. whatever.. bye.. | 09:49 |

| stdin | fumanchu: because you know people are working on it, so why publicise it? | 09:52 |
| fumanchu | why not? | 09:53 |
| stdin | because it scares people who don't know any better, makes them think that there's some easy way for an outsider to gain root access. when that clearly is not the case | 09:53 |
| fumanchu | so.. there shouldn't be news in television cause it scares people .. you should not be informed about things that concern you.. ok. gbye | 09:55 |
| stdin | no, but people look at news to gain information. you're shoving it in their face with no context, that's the difference | 09:57 |

| Jado` | hi, i have problems on my laptop with wifi since i installed kubuntu | 13:17 |
| Jado` | is there somebody to help ? | 13:17 |
| Dr_Willis | It all depends on the chipset... | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | !wireless | 13:18 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | and i dont use wireless much. sorry | 13:18 |
| Jado` | actually it's not detected, and when i boot with windows, hardware is detected and i can connect to the point access, but i cannot obtain an IP Adress | 13:19 |
| Dr_Willis | If the card is not detected. You will need to figure out its chipset, and what extra drivers you may need to install for it. | 13:20 |
| Dr_Willis | some very new chipsets/cards may just not be supported yet. | 13:20 |
| Jado` | ok, but why it doesn't work on windows since i installed linux ? | 13:21 |
| Jado` | even when i plug a network cable, nothing happens | 13:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux and windows should not be affecting each others hardware.. you may want to try powering down and booting to windows. Not doing any 'resume/hibernate' stuff. that may be goofingup things. | 13:22 |
| ForgeAus | actually DrWillis it might be a stateful behaviour thing? if one puts the hardware into a state? | 13:24 |
| ForgeAus | my computer doesn't seem to support hibernation... | 13:25 |
| Jado` | i powered down and booted on windows, i still have my network problems (cable and wifi) | 13:25 |
| Dr_Willis | ForgeAus, posible - but ive seen that happen ONCE on all these machines iv4e had over the years.. and it was a soundcard that wouldent work right if i booted to windows first, then soft/rebooted to linux. a 'cold' boot to either os., would work fine | 13:25 |
| Dr_Willis | I would find it more likely that a cable/router/somthing else has goofed up. | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis | wired networking is not working under linux either? | 13:27 |
| Jado` | under windows it doesn't work anymore | 13:27 |
| Jado` | under linux i didn't try | 13:28 |
| Jado` | but i think it should work | 13:28 |
| Dr_Willis | if it fails to work under linux and windows - i would think its either a hardware issue.. or some odd config issue. Like trying to get the same ip as another machine on the lan | 13:32 |

| oloughlin75 | How do I turn off the xserverver and go right into command line:? | 14:36 |
| frank23 | oloughlin75: sudo invoke-rc.d kdm stop | 14:36 |
| oloughlin75 | thank you! | 14:36 |

| oloughlin75 | whats the difference between that and startx? | 14:37 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy Folks :) | 14:37 |
| frank23 | oloughlin75: this stops and starts the kde login manager kdm and that brings along with it X. I don't know the details more than that | 14:38 |

| Alex135 | frank23: thx | 14:44 |
| frank23 | Alex135: mostly * Stable release update, support new Flash in Konqueror I guess. It's crazy but when core component of kde changes everything else in kde has to be recompiled | 14:44 |
| Alex135 | frank23: hopefully they will hurry up and get kde4.1 up and about... cuz its useless the way it is now | 14:45 |
| Alex135 | btw, is hardy worth downloading and installing? | 14:46 |
| frank23 | Alex135: are you talking about kde 3.5 or kde 4.0? | 14:46 |
| Alex135 | frank23: kde4.0 | 14:47 |
| frank23 | What I pasted was for kde 3.5 | 14:47 |
| oloughlin75 | How do I install libc? The nvidia drivers are telling me I do not have it | 14:47 |
| Alex135 | fank23: oh for my question yes i was talking about kde3.5 | 14:48 |
| frank23 | I'll wait for kde 4.1 before switching | 14:48 |
| Alex135 | same | 14:48 |
| frank23 | I get 700kB/s from my mirror so downloading big updates is not painful | 14:49 |
| Alex135 | soon the unaversity i get my internet from might become a mirror for different distros of linux, if so i will have much faster download rates (like instant on everything) | 14:50 |
| Alex135 | i mean for updates... | 14:50 |
| frank23 | Alex135: that's be nice | 14:50 |
| oloughlin75 | How do I install libc? The nvidia drivers are telling me I do not have it | 14:55 |
| frank23 | oloughlin75: you definitely have it | 14:55 |
| oloughlin75 | the nvidia drivers are telling me i do not | 14:56 |
| frank23 | oloughlin75: maybe you need libc6-dev but why don't you use the nvidia drivers in the ubuntu repository | 14:58 |
| oloughlin75 | libc header files not found, please install your distrobutions libc development package? | 15:01 |
| * BluesKaj wonders if kubuntu has a default "resticted driver" pkg in system settings/advanced , like the pkg for ATI equipped desktops and laptops. | 15:02 | |
| frank23 | oloughlin75: maybe you need libc6-dev but why don't you use the nvidia drivers in the ubuntu repository | 15:02 |
| BluesKaj | for nvidia | 15:02 |
| oloughlin75 | I installed the nvidia binary x.org driver, but when I watch youtube or something with a lot of motion the screen like twitches | 15:03 |
| frank23 | oloughlin75: what card do you have? | 15:03 |
| Alex135 | This is going to sound like a n00bish question at first, but Kubuntu has screensavers that take an image of the desktop and morph it / mess around with it right? | 15:03 |
| BluesKaj | oloughlin75, check in system settings/advanced for a restricted driver pkg ...that may be the wat to go , if you have that option. | 15:03 |
| oloughlin75 | GeForce Go 6200 | 15:03 |

| BluesKaj | Crashed, you said the burner wasn't working ? | 15:29 |
| Crashed | /media/cdrom0 | 15:29 |
| Crashed | Well, it's not burning. :P | 15:29 |
| BluesKaj | good | 15:29 |
| Crashed | Good? | 15:29 |
| BluesKaj | not good | 15:29 |
| Crashed | I've literally spent the last 10 hours trying to install windows. :( | 15:29 |
| BluesKaj | good that it's listed , not good that it's not burning | 15:30 |
| BluesKaj | 10 hrs , why ? | 15:30 |
| Crashed | I've tried multiple things. | 15:31 |
| Crashed | Most of the time was taken by the 4x CD-RW writer. | 15:31 |
| Crashed | Oh cool, it actually looks like it's erasing the file now. | 15:31 |
| BluesKaj | oooh , an oldie ? | 15:31 |
| Crashed | The CD-RW is on another PC :P | 15:31 |
| Crashed | The writer* | 15:31 |
| Crashed | I have two, actually. | 15:31 |
| Crashed | DVD-+RW/CD-+RW on this one | 15:32 |
| Crashed | and an old CD-RW on another one. | 15:32 |
| Crashed | K3b wasn't working on this PC, so I went into the other one to burn XP | 15:32 |
| Crashed | I burned it, popped it in here and it didn't even read the damn cd. | 15:32 |
| Crashed | Popped it back into the other pc and it messed up my computer real bad. It would lock up while trying to read the cd. | 15:32 |
| Crashed | And I just popped it back into this one, and told it to erase the cd. Which it *looks* like it's doing. | 15:33 |
| BluesKaj | like wifey's , she's got an old 366mhz HP/celeron/mitsui burner | 15:33 |
| Crashed | http://pastebin.com/m465dccb3 | 15:33 |
| Crashed | Errors :( | 15:33 |
| BluesKaj | Crashed, have you got your boot sequence in BIOS set up to look at the cdrom drive first | 15:34 |
| Crashed | yes | 15:34 |
| Crashed | That shouldn't affect me not being able to erase this CD, though. | 15:34 |
| BluesKaj | yeah | 15:35 |
| Crashed | I can't delete or write anything to this CD-RW disc. | 15:35 |
| BluesKaj | Crashed, have you tried K3B ? | 15:35 |
| Crashed | That's what I'm using :| | 15:35 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 15:35 |
| Crashed | It takes 30 minutes to write the iso to the cd on my other computer/burner. | 15:36 |
| Crashed | I've done that twice, and both times it's been failing. | 15:36 |
| Crashed | I wish I had a dvd-rw to test on | 15:38 |
| BluesKaj | maybe the ISO is buggy ...does K3B do a md5 sum check ? | 15:38 |
| Crashed | It does | 15:38 |
| Crashed | I highly doubt the iso is buggy, though | 15:38 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, I always keep a few dvd+rws around for testing purposes | 15:39 |
| BluesKaj | cd+rws as well | 15:39 |
| Crashed | Man this is so annoying :( | 15:39 |
| Crashed | New computer and I can't play some of the games I've been wanting to try. | 15:39 |

| tribaldata | When i try to start firefox it doesn't start if i go from console and type in firefox i get this : | 16:07 |
| tribaldata | You should really not run firefox through sudo WITHOUT the -H option. | 16:07 |
| tribaldata | Anyway, I'll do as if you did use the -H option. | 16:07 |

| tribaldata | Anyone could lend me a hand ? | 16:07 |
| tribaldata | Anyone ? | 16:09 |
| llutz | tribaldata: start firefox as user, not as root, not with sudo | 16:10 |
| BluesKaj | tribaldata, can you launch FF from with in the FF file ..prolly on your /home/user file ..it will look like a text file with just firefox as the title | 16:10 |
| tribaldata | i try that but i just get another konsole line | 16:12 |

| llutz | tribaldata: you start ff as user which owns the x-session? | 16:15 |
| tribaldata | llutz: i try that but i doesn't start | 16:16 |
| BluesKaj | tribaldata, I still think you should try launching from within the FF folder , as described above | 16:17 |
| DexterF | hi | 16:18 |
| tribaldata | try that already. no pid is created | 16:18 |
| DexterF | I just tried to suspend this machine, running feisty. remember it worked once, now didn't, it just booted as usual. how come? | 16:19 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, sounds like it's not completely installed | 16:19 |
| BluesKaj | tribaldata | 16:19 |
| tribaldata | BluesKaj: yep ? | 16:20 |
| BluesKaj | try reinstalling FF in adept | 16:20 |
| tribaldata | BluesKaj: already done that with apt-get remove firefox then apt-get clean then apt-get install firefox | 16:21 |
| tribaldata | same result | 16:21 |
| BluesKaj | uhoh | 16:21 |
| BluesKaj | does konq surf ok , tribaldata | 16:22 |
| tribaldata | yup | 16:22 |
| BluesKaj | good | 16:22 |
| tribaldata | BluesKaj: it is the weirdest thing, i switch my display from my svideo to my normal laptop then stuff began to go on the bad side for FF | 16:23 |
| tribaldata | i rebbooted re-installed and i'm still getting the same error | 16:23 |
| tribaldata | the only info i get it's when i try to run it a root | 16:23 |
| tribaldata | BluesKaj: Does this mean that something is already trying to connect to my 0:0 ?? : Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server | 16:25 |

| BluesKaj | april | 16:50 |
| SlimeyPete | RoboCop: the version number is 8.04, which means "4th month of 2008" | 16:50 |
| SlimeyPete | so yeah, april | 16:51 |
| ForgeAus | then 8.10 I presume | 16:51 |

| SlimeyPete | releases are every six months | 16:51 |

| SlimeyPete | ForgeAus: yeah | 16:51 |

| ForgeAus | 8.10 should be good for KDE4 by then it will be better, I hope... | 16:51 |
| ForgeAus | I don't expect much from KDE4 yet... | 16:51 |
| BluesKaj | ran hardy , not really much diff except for the oreganic looking almost chaos-theory looking desktop | 16:53 |
| BluesKaj | think I'll stck with Gutsy til Oct when 8.10 is released | 16:54 |
| genii | BluesKaj: Thats about my plan as well. I'll run 8.04 for testing on a partition I don't care about | 16:55 |
| BluesKaj | hmm genii, that's a thought ... a seperate partition for hardy might be a good idea | 16:56 |

| ForgeAus | argh my VMware Linux vmdk died | 17:17 |
| Crashed | How do I install geck/ie for wine? | 17:17 |
| ForgeAus | well its still there it just doesn't mount it for some strange reason | 17:17 |
| ForgeAus | what kinda issue Crashed? | 17:17 |
| ForgeAus | geck/ie? um not sure you can | 17:17 |
| Crashed | My windows application crashes because it tries to load an html page. | 17:17 |
| ahmos | nothing genii I think that it is a permission problem,no? | 17:17 |
| Crashed | Gecko* | 17:17 |
| ForgeAus | how are you trying to install it? | 17:17 |
| ForgeAus | you can use ies4linux | 17:17 |
| ForgeAus | that should work | 17:17 |
| Crashed | Well, when I run my app, it asks if I want to install gecko. I click yes, but my application crashes sometime before or after I click yes. So it never installs. | 17:18 |
| ForgeAus | ahh I know why HDA not SDA! | 17:18 |
| genii | ahmos: No, if no msg then thats good. When things execute properly no extra messages. Only when errors. | 17:18 |

| xaka | how to disable loading "dri" module in Xorg? i have no seen it in xorg.conf, but it loading (i see it in Xorg.log) | 17:19 |
| ahmos | genii: I had fixed it before but I forgot the command it was something like sudo chmod 666..... | 17:19 |
| genii | ahmos: If you can get your video into kino now, you know what the module you need is. To make it load every time, put the name raw1394 into the file /etc/modules (you need to edit with admin privelege for that) | 17:20 |
| Crashed | Arrg, it asks me if I want to install gecko *after* the html page starts loading. :( | 17:20 |
| ahmos | no i can't get a video now! | 17:21 |
| genii | ahmos: If the dev exists but it just won't let you use it every time. Instead of always changing the permissions of the device file, add your username into the group of plugdev instead. | 17:21 |

| BluesKaj | vhozard, can't help with xawtv but tvtime is more up to date I believe | 17:48 |
| ahmos | genii: yes it is working ,you are my HERO :) | 17:48 |
| Crashed | How do I completely remove WINE? | 17:48 |
| toothpick | thanks for the help, got it now. | 17:48 |
| Crashed | App files, directories, I want it gone. | 17:48 |
| vhozard | BluesKaj, yes I know but you can't record with tvtime | 17:48 |
| ForgeAus | apt-get remove wine | 17:48 |
| genii | ahmos: Glad you got it. No more chmodding it etc etc. Have fun with Kino :) | 17:49 |
| ForgeAus | but after that there'll be leftovers | 17:49 |
| ForgeAus | so delete your .wine directory thats still there | 17:49 |
| ForgeAus | and anything under it | 17:49 |
| ForgeAus | (should be in a user or root home directory) | 17:49 |
| ahmos | thank you hero ;) | 17:49 |
| ForgeAus | oh wait you need a sudo first | 17:49 |
| ForgeAus | sudo apt-get remove wine | 17:49 |
| Crashed | Man, this thing is still in my applications folder. | 17:51 |
| Crashed | BEGONE. | 17:51 |

| Crashed | nosrednaekim: I think I got banned from the ubuntu repositories. | 17:53 |
| vhozard | haha, thats not possible | 17:54 |
| Crashed | I kept trying to apt-get stuff, and it kept timing out for whatever reason. | 17:54 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed: sometimes you pay for quality CD's lol | 17:54 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you can't get banned from the repos, that's ridiculous | 17:54 |
| Crashed | and recently I tried it, and it said permission denied or something. | 17:54 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed: well, did you try adding new repositories? | 17:54 |
| vhozard | put sudo in fronst of the code | 17:54 |
| Crashed | Oh right, I keep forgetting that. :P | 17:54 |

| vhozard | i always do | 17:58 |

| nosrednaekim | Crashed: so running "apt-get somepackage" also give you that error? | 18:08 |

| karthikp | Speaking of wine, the wine config applet in kubuntu gutsy system settings seems to be broken. | 18:19 |
| karthikp | Is there anyway to fix it? | 18:19 |
| jussi01 | karthikp: it works here | 18:19 |
| JohnFlux | sparr: upgrade to kde4 :-) | 18:19 |
| jussi01 | karthikp: what is the issue? | 18:19 |
| karthikp | I couldn't find anything useful online, so I forgot about it. | 18:19 |
| karthikp | Okay. | 18:20 |
| karthikp | I get an error message. | 18:20 |
| karthikp | Lemme look it up. | 18:20 |
| Toothpick | Greets | 18:20 |
| karthikp | First, I get this window saying it appears you don't have all the drives set up. | 18:20 |
| karthikp | Which is okay. | 18:20 |
| karthikp | Then, I get this message saying the module Windows Applications could not be loaded. | 18:21 |
| karthikp | The diagnostics is: | 18:21 |
| karthikp | Possible reasons: | 18:21 |
| karthikp | * An error occured during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module. | 18:21 |
| karthikp | * You have old third party modules lying around. | 18:22 |
| * jussi01 reminds karthikp of pastebin... | 18:22 | |
| karthikp | What's pastebin? | 18:22 |

| jussi01 | :) | 18:22 |
| karthikp | Okay, it doesn't allow me to select the text! | 18:23 |
| karthikp | Never mind. THe thing is, this error popped up when I clean installed gutsy back last year. | 18:23 |
| karthikp | So, there was no last kde session and there were no modules "lying around" | 18:24 |
| karthikp | The system was fresh and I figured it was broken. | 18:24 |

| MrJoey | I know this isn't 100% Linux specific, but is it possible to limit the amount of RAM Windows uses (like one would do in Linux by appending the kernel argument mem=320M) | 18:45 |
| MrJoey | And a similar question, is it possible to tell Linux to use gaps of memory | 18:45 |
| MrJoey | e.g. to use 0..320M, 400M...800M, 900...1015M ? | 18:45 |

| MrJoey | As those ranges are bad RAM | 18:50 |

| Daisuke_Ido | looking now | 19:33 |
| patrick_ | i can just make the 1.0.15, they worked a few weeks ago | 19:34 |

| patrick_ | got the alsa-utils installed -- i needed two packages that I found on the internet | 19:57 |
| stratman4300 | unagi: what type of graphics card do you have??? | 19:57 |
| unagi | nvidia geforce go 7400 | 19:57 |
| stratman4300 | unagi: did you use the restricted drivers manager?? | 19:58 |
| unagi | i dont remember | 19:58 |
| stratman4300 | unagi: or did you make changes manually? | 19:58 |
| unagi | i made changes manually | 19:58 |
| unagi | and put them back | 19:58 |
| unagi | stratman4300: i made changes manually and put them back | 19:59 |
| stratman4300 | unagi: open the KDE system settings menu, and go to advanced | 19:59 |
| stratman4300 | unagi: then start the restricted drivers manager | 19:59 |
| unagi | it says in use for the video | 20:00 |
| patrick_ | SOUND!!! :D | 20:00 |
| stratman4300 | what is your current resolution?? | 20:00 |
| unagi | 800 x 600 | 20:00 |
| stratman4300 | can't go any higher?? | 20:00 |
| unagi | no | 20:00 |
| stratman4300 | what driver is in use when you look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf?? | 20:00 |
| stratman4300 | in the devices section | 20:00 |
| unagi | supposedly nvidia | 20:00 |
| unagi | but kubuntu says vesa | 20:01 |
| stratman4300 | where is kubuntu saying vesa?? | 20:01 |
| unagi | settings > monitor > hardware | 20:01 |
| patrick_ | wow openoffice support word 07 | 20:01 |
| stratman4300 | have you restarted X since setting up your nvidia hardware?? | 20:02 |
| unagi | stratman4300: i dont know what yo umean by setting up my hardware | 20:02 |
| stratman4300 | after you made your changes | 20:02 |
| unagi | many times | 20:02 |
| unagi | stratman4300: my video card was running fine, i added gibberish to my xorg to show my mom that in linux when something goes wrong you can fix it | 20:02 |
| unagi | stratman4300: unfortunately i cant seem to get it back up | 20:02 |
| wilbur_ | anyone running kubuntu on acer 3000 series laptops ? | 20:03 |
| stratman4300 | you took out what you added?? | 20:03 |
| unagi | yes | 20:03 |
| stratman4300 | okay do this.... open the resricted drivers manager.... uncheck nvidia.... hit apply...or.. okay | 20:03 |
| stratman4300 | restart your x session.... | 20:04 |
| stratman4300 | the go back into the restricted drivers manager, and check the check box and restart your X-session... this should re-install the drivers | 20:04 |
| stratman4300 | or at least update your config files | 20:04 |
| filo1234 | hi guys i have a problem with amarok | 20:05 |
| filo1234 | when i switch off amarok, my hd external usb get down | 20:05 |
| unagi | brb | 20:05 |
| unagi | didnt work | 20:09 |
| unagi | i dont understand | 20:10 |
| unagi | does anyone know anything about xorg? | 20:11 |
| stratman4300 | you need to be patient | 20:11 |
| filo1234 | so amarok work but i have my mp3 on external hd and when i close amarok, external usb hd, get umount | 20:12 |
| stratman4300 | one sec let me look up a bit on nvidia drivers real quick | 20:12 |
| unagi | i am patient........this has been going on for 2 hours | 20:12 |
| stratman4300 | unagi: run a sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-glx nvidia-settings | 20:14 |
| stratman4300 | unagi: then a sudo modprobe -r nvidia | 20:14 |
| stratman4300 | then open the restricted drivers manager and see if the check box is checked or not | 20:14 |
| Arwen | whoo, transparent window decorations are shiny | 20:15 |
| unagi | FATAL: Module nvidia not found. | 20:16 |
| stratman4300 | after the modprobe?? | 20:16 |
| unagi | thats the output of modprobe | 20:17 |
| unagi | and there is no entry in restricted drivers | 20:17 |
| stratman4300 | no entry at all?? | 20:17 |
| unagi | not for nvidia | 20:18 |
| stratman4300 | okay.... try rebooting your PC now.... then check the restricted drivers manager.... it should pick up your nvidia card and ask if you want to install software | 20:18 |
| unagi | and it says i need to isntall a package for it to work | 20:18 |
| unagi | ok brb | 20:18 |
| liz_ | ok this has happened to me twice already. While installing from adept manager the installation freezes. Right now it's frozen at 20% while installing java. | 20:22 |
| liz_ | should I close and reinstall? | 20:23 |
| stratman4300 | liz: does it show anything when you hit show details?? | 20:23 |
| liz_ | stratman: yes it shows a half loaded blue screen | 20:24 |
| karthikp | Doesn't java pop up a EULA or something like it? | 20:24 |
| stratman4300 | yeah it does..... sounds like your not getting the whole screen though | 20:24 |
| stratman4300 | is adept maximized?? | 20:24 |
| stratman4300 | liz: is your window maximized?? | 20:25 |
| liz_ | stratman: the screen is not maximized, but even when I do it's just stuck | 20:25 |
| karthikp | How about trying to apt-get from a terminal instead? That would launch that 8-bit looking screen and let you get past the eula. | 20:25 |
| stratman4300 | yeah you could install just java via terminal then install the rest with adept | 20:26 |

| stratman4300 | sun-java5-plugin | 20:29 |
| patrick_ | apt-get install sun-java5-plugin | 20:29 |
| liz_ | ok I'll try that then, Thx stratman4300 and karthikp | 20:29 |
| stratman4300 | np | 20:30 |
| liz_ | thx patrick, hope it works | 20:30 |
| stratman4300 | then you can do the rest like usual with adept | 20:30 |
| stratman4300 | oh make sure you use sudo.... like this... sudo apt-get install sun-java5-plugin | 20:30 |
| patrick_ | Konversation is the best IRC client ive ever used :) | 20:30 |
| stratman4300 | yeah it's nice :) | 20:31 |

| patrick_ | pidgins implementation is annoying | 20:31 |
| karthikp | It's the only one I've used :) | 20:31 |
| karthikp | And I like it, anyway. :) | 20:32 |
| Arwen | Konversation won't let you auto-rejoin on kicks... | 20:32 |
| Arwen | lame | 20:32 |
| wilbur__ | help! | 20:33 |
| trappist | Arwen: awesome | 20:33 |
| trappist | I hate irc clients that automate obnoxious behavior | 20:34 |
| liz_ | wow ok, now I got: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarilly unavailable) is another process using it? | 20:34 |
| trappist | like spewing away messages to every channel you're on | 20:34 |
| stratman4300 | liz: do you have adept open still?? | 20:34 |
| patrick_ | !adeptfix | 20:34 |
| ubotu | 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 » | 20:34 |
| Arwen | there's never an excuse for not having an option | 20:34 |
| Arwen | especially one people might use | 20:35 |
| liz_ | stratman4300: adept is not open | 20:35 |
| patrick_ | liz - do the above comman the ubot said | 20:35 |
| trappist | Arwen: if the option automates bad netiquette, that's a pretty good excuse. if I wrote an irc client it wouldn't have that option. | 20:35 |
| patrick_ | command* | 20:35 |
| stratman4300 | okay make sure you use sudo... type like this. sudo apt-get install sun-java5-plugin | 20:35 |
| stratman4300 | try that | 20:35 |
| Arwen | trappist, then people would just use a different one. That's not an excuse. | 20:36 |
| trappist | Arwen: so, all applications should implement every feature that's technically possible that people might want to use, no matter if it's obnoxious, destructive, etc.? | 20:37 |
| trappist | gotta disagree. | 20:37 |
| Arwen | trappist, you can implement whatever feature you want, but not implementing X feature won't stop people from using it. | 20:38 |
| Arwen | so doing so as a matter of making a point is kind of silly | 20:38 |
| Arwen | specially if there's a reason to use it | 20:38 |
| liz_ | I did what ubotu typed and it's asking if I should kill process 6585.... I'm guessing I say yes | 20:38 |
| patrick_ | Yes liz | 20:38 |
| === _czessi is now known as Czessi | ||

| patrick_ | told* | 20:39 |
| patrick_ | locked* | 20:39 |
| trappist | if I wrote an ftp client, it wouldn't have a button that said 'upload random data until the server's disk fills up', even if it was specifically requested, and it wouldn't be to make a point | 20:39 |
| liz_ | thx patrick :) | 20:40 |
| sourcemaker | are there release notes for the new kdebase update for gusty? | 20:41 |
| Arwen | trappist, but there's no legitimate reason one would want that. | 20:42 |
| Arwen | so that's not a valid argument | 20:42 |
| liz_ | cool, all went well, i think it's done, thx all! Be seeing u in the near future | 20:45 |

| shazow | hiya, after a fresh install and enabling restricted nvidia drivers, my xorg wont start, with the following output: http://pastebin.com/m2a350b2e (no visible errors), using the default xorg.conf generated by nvidia-xconfig... lsmod shows nvidia module is loaded fine (using nvidia-glx-new). Any idea what I'm missing? | 21:28 |
| stratman4300 | unagi: did you do ANYTHING else other than add jibberish to xorg.conf.... it shouldn't be behaving that way period | 21:28 |
| unagi | i did nothing | 21:28 |
| unagi | i even replaced it with a secondary that i have | 21:28 |
| Crashed | nosrednaekim: compatible? | 21:28 |
| stratman4300 | have you had any issues with apt recently?? | 21:28 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed: checkin | 21:29 |
| unagi | http://pastebin.org/19089 | 21:29 |
| unagi | no | 21:29 |
| buz | shazow: can you paste your entire xorg log | 21:29 |
| unagi | stratman4300: http://pastebin.org/19089 | 21:29 |
| nosrednaekim | shazow: could i have th contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log? | 21:29 |
| shazow | buz: that is my entire log, but i think i have an idea what's happening.. it's using the wrong vga port | 21:29 |
| buz | never seen anything like that | 21:30 |
| shazow | i know how to fix that, thanks! | 21:30 |
| stratman4300 | if we can get apt working... we can get the nvidia module recompiled and installed from scratch | 21:30 |
| shazow | (I have a VGA and DVI port in my videocard, it's showing the screen on my VGA which the monitor isn't on) | 21:30 |
| olimpico | Does anyone here knows how to configure knetworkmanager in PCLOS??? | 21:30 |

| shazow | ie. it's running, i just dont see it | 21:31 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed: seems its supported quite well | 21:31 |
| Crashed | Ooh | 21:31 |
| stratman4300 | unagi: what happens when you do sudo apt-get install -f again?? | 21:31 |
| Crashed | nosrednaekim: out of curiosity, does this card support hardware mpeg1/2/3/4/whatever encoding? | 21:31 |
| Crashed | It was given to me for free, I really know nothing about it. | 21:31 |
| olimpico | buz: I use Kubuntu, actually I'm running it now, but a freind of mine uses PCLOS, but I installed knetworkmanager and it's not able to establish a connection. In the PCLOS channel, nobody has any idea. | 21:32 |
| buz | what does pclos use by default | 21:32 |
| unagi | it goes through successfully | 21:32 |

| nosrednaekim | Crashed: nah...kdetv is probably easier | 21:34 |
| oloughlin75 | Crashed: Windows will do that :) | 21:34 |
| olimpico | jussi01: He tried, but his weird Wireless card was not recognized by Kubuntu, and PCLOS did recognised it. And it works with the normal config from PCLOS, but it's not very confortable. | 21:34 |
| Crashed | I need windows :( | 21:34 |
| stratman4300 | unagi: when that's done run sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx | 21:34 |
| nosrednaekim | olimpico: you may want to erase all of the intrfaces out of /etc/network/interfaces | 21:34 |

| Arwen | oloughlin75, doesn't move? isn't that default? | 21:39 |

| mefisto__ | sergiu21: is ktorrent really running? (ctrl-esc and search the list) | 21:55 |
| SlimeyPete | ForgeAus: different plugins I guess, maybe people have favourites | 21:55 |
| oloughlin75 | I install 7.11 ForgeAus. KDE4 broke too much of the KDE3 stuff | 21:55 |
| nosrednaekim | ForgeAus: half the improvents in the past month to compiz were things to help it work with kde4 | 21:55 |
| newGuy | in kde, how do I add a program to run at startup? | 21:56 |
| nosrednaekim | !autostart | 21:56 |
| ubotu | To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. | 21:56 |
| unagi | nosrednaekim: any ideas? | 21:56 |
| nosrednaekim | unagi: unfortunately....no.... thats very odd.. | 21:56 |
| unagi | omg............ | 21:56 |
| sub[t]rnl | whats unagi trying to do? | 21:56 |
| unagi | im trying to get out of low graphics mode | 21:56 |
| nosrednaekim | unagi: fix X | 21:56 |
| unagi | all i did was add a bad string to xorg, restarted x, took it out, restarted x | 21:57 |
| ForgeAus | why's it in low graphicx mode? | 21:57 |
| unagi | why doesnt x run right | 21:57 |
| ForgeAus | what card is it? | 21:57 |
| unagi | geforce go 7400 | 21:57 |
| sub[t]rnl | so, your trying to get it to run the nvidia driver? | 21:57 |
| ForgeAus | nvidia has drivers | 21:57 |
| ForgeAus | !nvidia | 21:57 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 21:57 |
| unagi | yes | 21:57 |

| unagi | yes | 21:57 |
| sub[t]rnl | enable it in restricted devices manager, and run sudo nvidia-xconfig | 21:58 |
| ForgeAus | thats one reason I like AndLinux the X server already works with my ATI drivers because windows has them :) | 21:58 |
| mefisto__ | Crashed: did you get kdetv to work? | 21:58 |
| unagi | its checked but says 'not in use' | 21:58 |
| sub[t]rnl | yeah, check it then run the command I told you | 21:58 |
| Crashed | mefisto: it's only been 5 minutes. Do you really think a newbie like me could get it to work in 5 minutes? :P | 21:58 |

| nosrednaekim | Crashed: it is... | 21:59 |
| Crashed | Oh shoot. | 21:59 |
| ForgeAus | Crashed don't use bad language | 21:59 |

| nosrednaekim | Crashed: but we give you some fair warnings first | 21:59 |
| unagi | i started with ubuntu then installed kubuntu over it | 21:59 |
| unagi | the login didnt change | 21:59 |
| sub[t]rnl | unagi➜ enable it in restricted devices manager, and run sudo nvidia-xconfig. | 22:00 |

| unagi | i did sub[t]rnl now what | 22:00 |

| sub[t]rnl | unagi➜ alt + e | 22:01 |
| newGuy | so if I put a file named synergystart into ~/.kde/Autostart and make it executable, it will run every time I start kde? | 22:01 |
| sub[t]rnl | ForgeAus➜ hrm, can't remeber | 22:01 |
| Crashed | jussi01: I'll try to PG13 my language. :] | 22:01 |

| nareshov | Hi, is there a poster/flyer on KDE available online? | 22:01 |
| unagi | ctrl + e or alt + e | 22:02 |
| nekostar | hey | 22:02 |
| sub[t]rnl | alt + e | 22:02 |
| newGuy | thanks | 22:02 |
| nekostar | is there a kde4 mastered alpha4 of hardy? | 22:02 |
| unagi | what does alt + e do | 22:02 |
| sub[t]rnl | sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart | 22:02 |
| jussi01 | nekostar: kde 4 support in #kubuntu-kde4 and hardy support in #ubuntu+1 | 22:02 |
| ForgeAus | I think theres a KDE4 of suse but dunno about Hardy | 22:02 |
| nosrednaekim | nekostar: I don't think so | 22:03 |
| nekostar | jussi01 i'm in ubuntu+1 :P | 22:03 |
| nekostar | no one answered there i'll try the other one | 22:03 |
| Crashed | Hm. How do I check stats on my harddrive, like space? | 22:03 |
| sub[t]rnl | df -h | 22:03 |
| Crashed | df, that was it. | 22:03 |
| nekostar | nosrednaekim darn - there's one for 7.10... | 22:03 |
| Crashed | thanks sub. | 22:03 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed: df | 22:03 |
| Crashed | Hey, so I've only used 4.1GB out of 40? Woot :] | 22:03 |
| === patrick_ is now known as patrick__ | ||
| mefisto__ | Crashed: konqueror has some graphical disk size view mode too | 22:04 |
| === patrick__ is now known as oloughlin75 | ||
| ForgeAus | serendipity Crashed :) | 22:04 |
| Crashed | My last system (which I was using for 8 years straight, up until yesterday!) only had 12.5. That was a hassle. | 22:04 |
| Crashed | mefisto: I prefer command line for quick data like that. | 22:04 |
| sub[t]rnl | hehe, file size view in konq is nice too, for hunting down the hogs | 22:05 |
| Ryu010 | hello? | 22:05 |
| * ForgeAus looks around for ken | 22:05 | |
| sub[t]rnl | but, the cli du works just as good | 22:05 |
| oloughlin75 | Uhhmm, I just installed compiz, and now my mouse is like invisible!!! | 22:05 |
| mefisto__ | Crashed: yes, but file size view can quickly show you what is filling up your disks | 22:05 |
| ForgeAus | oh wait there is a Ken! | 22:05 |
| Crashed | Oh, neat. | 22:05 |
| jussi01 | !hi | Ryu010 | 22:05 |
| ubotu | Ryu010: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 22:05 |
| Crashed | I've used a program called Space Monger in Windows that does that. | 22:05 |
| Crashed | And I downloaded that xcruise linux 'game'. It's pretty cool. | 22:05 |
| Ryu010 | anyone know where i can get a driver for a Broadcom 4328, i have spent about 3 days looking and decided to ask for help | 22:05 |
| Crashed | 3D file system :] | 22:05 |
| jussi01 | !bcm43xx | Ryu010 | 22:06 |
| ubotu | Ryu010: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 22:06 |
| Ryu010 | i have tried that one | 22:06 |
| Crashed | apt-get upgrade should update all my drivers, right? | 22:06 |
| unagi | i logged out presssed alt + e and logged back in | 22:06 |
| ForgeAus | wb unagi | 22:06 |
| unagi | still in low graphics | 22:06 |
| unagi | still says vesa drivers | 22:06 |
| unagi | still says restricted not in use | 22:07 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed: it will update your kernel, yes, but you since you are running such an old kernel,...... | 22:07 |
| ForgeAus | unagi, do you have a backup of your xorg.conf | 22:07 |
| unagi | yes, and that doesnt work | 22:07 |
| Crashed | Well, I ran that command about 8 minutes ago. It's still going. | 22:07 |
| ForgeAus | hmm then its not xorg.conf that is the problem aparently, I'm not sure how to get a list of what xorg is doing | 22:08 |
| unagi | ok alt tab isnt working now | 22:08 |
| unagi | all i did was add a string and remove a string ForgeAus | 22:08 |
| jussi01 | Ryu010: so whats the issue, why didnt it work? | 22:08 |
| ForgeAus | unagi, strings can be very fickle sometimes :) | 22:08 |
| unagi | it was a bunch of symbols...... | 22:08 |
| ForgeAus | jussi its functioning, but not in the mode he wants | 22:08 |
| Ryu010 | in the wifi manager my device would not show up | 22:08 |
| nosrednaekim | unagi: I think bullet-proof X is all messed up | 22:08 |
| ForgeAus | (its defaulting to a vesa driver instead of an nvidia one) | 22:08 |
| ForgeAus | bulletproof X? | 22:09 |
| unagi | why the heck is it using vesa when nvidia is listed | 22:09 |
| nosrednaekim | ForgeAus: yeah... its a ubuntu thing | 22:09 |
| nosrednaekim | unagi: is your login screen brown? | 22:09 |
| ForgeAus | vesa mesa peice'o' .... hmmm did I say that out loud? | 22:10 |
| unagi | no my login screen is my custom login scream | 22:10 |
| oloughlin75 | Uhhmm, I just installed compiz, and now my mouse is like invisible!!! | 22:10 |
| ForgeAus | wow kewl trick oloughlin | 22:10 |
| ForgeAus | doesn't sound too handy tho | 22:10 |
| MartinCleaver | I currently run Centos 5.1 on my quad core desktop. I just downloaded the kubuntu 7.1 amd64.iso DVD and want to try it. Will installing from this DVD make the machine dual boot? | 22:10 |
| oloughlin75 | How do i get it back?! | 22:10 |
| nosrednaekim | MartinCleaver: you have the option | 22:10 |
| Crashed | What's the command to check your RAM stats? | 22:10 |
| unagi | ok fine | 22:11 |
| nosrednaekim | unagi: so, its gdm? | 22:11 |
| jussi01 | Crashed: free | 22:11 |
| unagi | i dont know | 22:11 |
| unagi | i guess | 22:11 |
| oloughlin75 | It is a bit hard to find a button by trying to make it look selected.. | 22:11 |
| unagi | i changed it to kdm i guess it defaulted back | 22:11 |
| unagi | ooooooh | 22:11 |
| unagi | do i have to fix it in gnome? | 22:11 |
| * ForgeAus shrugs | 22:11 | |
| nosrednaekim | unagi: thats very possible... | 22:11 |
| unagi | fascinating | 22:11 |
| nosrednaekim | unagi: change to kdm and then reboot... | 22:11 |
| unagi | i did change to kdm | 22:12 |
| Crashed | I read briefly, but why does Kubuntu try to use up 90% RAM? | 22:12 |
| ForgeAus | GDM KDM WDM XDM they're all just different types of the same thing | 22:12 |
| unagi | apparently it didnt work | 22:12 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed: look at the line that says +/- buffers/cache | 22:12 |
| SlimeyPete | Crashed: it caches programs and data which you have used so that it doesn't have to load from disk next time you use them | 22:12 |
| Crashed | So the cache is basically memory it's using, but just for convenience? | 22:13 |
| mefisto__ | Crashed: it doesn't use up ram, it puts it to use | 22:13 |
| ForgeAus | yeah | 22:13 |
| oloughlin75 | and performance | 22:13 |
| trappist | Crashed: it un-caches when it needs the ram | 22:13 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed: right, and it can be quickly allocated to "real memory" | 22:13 |
| Crashed | Sorry, I've been using windows for so long that that's been the primary use of ram. Using it up. | 22:13 |
| Crashed | Alright, that's cool. | 22:13 |
| oloughlin75 | Does anyone know to make the mouse visible? | 22:13 |
| ForgeAus | Windows is the same, using ram, caching ram | 22:13 |
| Crashed | 747 - 270 = "real" used ram | 22:14 |
| trappist | oloughlin75: you have an invisible mouse?! | 22:14 |
| oloughlin75 | trappist: yes! | 22:14 |
| trappist | that's awesome. | 22:14 |
| oloughlin75 | It is there because buttons become selected | 22:14 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed: maybe... | 22:14 |
| ForgeAus | hehe I thought so to trappist, as to how to fix it, however | 22:14 |
| oloughlin75 | but its awfully hard to use | 22:14 |
| nosrednaekim | oloughlin75: are you actually running compiz? | 22:14 |
| trappist | spraypaint! | 22:14 |
| oloughlin75 | i have no idea | 22:14 |
| mefisto__ | oloughlin75: my guess is you need some option in xorg.conf specific to your videocard/driver | 22:14 |
| oloughlin75 | Does video card affect the display of the mouse? The bouncing icons and scrolling and stuff are still working | 22:15 |
| trappist | oloughlin75: yes, it does | 22:15 |
| ForgeAus | why are your icons bouncing? | 22:15 |
| oloughlin75 | when i launch a program | 22:15 |
| trappist | oloughlin75: or, it can. your video card can be put in charge of rendering the mouse cursor. | 22:15 |
| ForgeAus | hehe I was kidding | 22:15 |
| oloughlin75 | you know how it does the bouncing when it loads | 22:16 |
| mefisto__ | oloughlin75: setting options in xorg.conf can work around problems that drivers can have | 22:16 |
| oloughlin75 | ... what should I set? | 22:16 |
| nosrednaekim | oloughlin75: and only now just happened when you installed compiz? | 22:16 |
| oloughlin75 | yes nosrednaekim | 22:16 |
| oloughlin75 | i logged out and it disappeared | 22:16 |
| nosrednaekim | oloughlin75: try running "compiz --replace" and seeif it comes back | 22:16 |
| oloughlin75 | no | 22:17 |
| ForgeAus | it can also remove those gawd-awful messages you get in a console/terminal window when you run programs because the touchpad drivers are enabled | 22:17 |
| ForgeAus | assuming your using a desktop PC that is | 22:17 |
| wilbur__ | where do i get alsaconf ? | 22:17 |
| oloughlin75 | how do i disable compiz? | 22:17 |
| nosrednaekim | ForgeAus: you only need those if you have a touchscreen, I turn them off on my laptop as well | 22:17 |
| nosrednaekim | oloughlin75: "kwin --replace | 22:18 |
| nosrednaekim | oloughlin75: and uninstall it.. | 22:18 |
| Bauldrick | !pastebin | 22:18 |
| ForgeAus | TouchScreen? wow thats unlikely | 22:18 |
| 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) | 22:18 |
| Bauldrick | just need the add | 22:18 |
| ForgeAus | although that being said I'd love a 17" convertible notebook... when technology catches up :) | 22:18 |
| ForgeAus | then again I guess I'd settle for A4 size thats enough for me... | 22:19 |
| Crashed | Back to pretending I know how to install mythtv / kdetv / tv time. | 22:19 |
| ForgeAus | not sure that displays come in a4 size tho | 22:19 |
| ForgeAus | lol Crashed | 22:19 |
| ForgeAus | you have video in/out on your display hardware? | 22:20 |
| Crashed | Aw man. This tutorial sucks. | 22:20 |
| Crashed | It wants me to install php/mysql/phpmyadmin. | 22:20 |
| nosrednaekim | don't do mythtv! | 22:20 |
| nosrednaekim | <_< | 22:20 |
| Crashed | video in/out? I have a tv tuner :P | 22:20 |
| nosrednaekim | its complicated.. | 22:20 |
| Crashed | I have s-out, I think. | 22:20 |
| Crashed | ...okay. TV Time time. | 22:21 |
| ForgeAus | Video4Linux uh? | 22:21 |
| ForgeAus | KdeTV sounds good | 22:21 |
| Crashed | kdetv.org isn't even up anymore. | 22:21 |
| Crashed | Would you go out and buy a new ford if ford didn't even exist!? :| | 22:22 |
| ForgeAus | how about a used ford? | 22:22 |
| Crashed | xvoutput: No XVIDEO port found which supports YUY2 images. | 22:22 |
| ForgeAus | can't say I'm used to Ford not existing | 22:22 |
| Crashed | Would I be getting that error because I don't have the cable hooked up at this very moment> | 22:23 |
| Arwen | Crashed, what video card? | 22:23 |
| DareDevill | sub[t]rnl hi | 22:23 |
| Arwen | and try software YUV -> RGB conversion then | 22:23 |
| ForgeAus | Arwen its a tv tuner | 22:23 |
| Arwen | ForgeAus, you can't output video through a TV tuner... | 22:23 |
| ForgeAus | ahh ok... | 22:24 |
| ForgeAus | interesting, I think mine does but Crashed, maybe you odn't have one? | 22:24 |
| Arwen | most cards support YUY2... | 22:24 |
| sub[t]rnl | DareDevill➜ greetings | 22:24 |
| Agent_bob | i'm having trouble with a shell script. can't seem to get [ 1 -gt UID ] to work correctly and it turns out that UID is not set, any insight ? | 22:25 |
| Crashed | Arwen: X800XL, but does a video card even have to do anything with a tv tuner card? | 22:25 |
| mefisto__ | Crashed: did kdetv start up with a wizard on the first run? | 22:25 |
| Crashed | I just yanked the cable off my tv, and rewired the entire FLOOR to hook it up to my PC :P | 22:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Agent_bob, isent is $UID ? | 22:25 |
| Crashed | mefisto: I think it did, but it crashed instantly. | 22:25 |
| Arwen | Crashed, I'm assuming you're trying to watch videos from the XVIDEO error | 22:25 |
| Arwen | if not, please ignore me... | 22:26 |
| nosrednaekim | sub[t]rnl➜ I like that little icon :) | 22:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Agent_bob, i would have to say - check the advanced bash scripting guides for examples. :) thats what i always do. | 22:26 |
| sub[t]rnl | :> | 22:26 |
| Crashed | I'm trying to watch TV :] | 22:26 |
| Agent_bob | Dr_Willis in english please ? | 22:26 |
| kaminix | Don't remember how I turned it off, but how do I turn on the adept auto updating utility? | 22:26 |
| ForgeAus | Arwen I just don't find you ingorable | 22:26 |
| Arwen | Crashed, on your display? | 22:26 |
| Arwen | or on your TV? | 22:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Agent_bob, try echo UID, and echo $UID | 22:26 |
| sub[t]rnl | Agent_bob➜ echo $UID | 22:26 |
| ForgeAus | kaminix adept_updater ? | 22:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Agent_bob, bash basics.. variables start with a $ | 22:26 |
| Agent_bob | Dr_Willis yes, it's not set. | 22:26 |
| ForgeAus | something like that | 22:26 |
| Crashed | Arwen: on my TV tuner. | 22:27 |
| Crashed | On my PC. | 22:27 |
| ForgeAus | check out your /usr/bin dir, thers lotsa adept_this and adept_that | 22:27 |
| mefisto__ | kaminix: it's adept_notifier | 22:27 |
| ForgeAus | one of them is the reminder | 22:27 |
| Crashed | On my monitor. | 22:27 |
| kaminix | ForgeAus: But how do I set it to autostart without some ugly .kde/Autostart script? | 22:27 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed➜ with your eyes... | 22:27 |
| Arwen | Crashed, then at some point the video must go through your video card and onto your display | 22:27 |
| ForgeAus | ahh see Mefisto knows :) | 22:27 |
| Crashed | I hope that clears it up, but I just confused myself :P | 22:27 |
| Dr_Willis | echo $UID --------> 1000 | 22:27 |
| ForgeAus | it will ask you when you close it kaminix | 22:27 |
| Arwen | so your drivers must support hardware overlays or something | 22:27 |
| wilbur__ | How do I reinstall ALSA | 22:27 |
| wilbur__ | please help | 22:27 |
| Crashed | Ah. | 22:27 |
| Arwen | or you must use software color conversion | 22:27 |
| Arwen | you using fglrx? | 22:27 |
| Crashed | I'll do anything, I just don't know how to do anything. | 22:27 |
| Agent_bob | echo "uid is $UID" -----> uid is | 22:27 |
| Crashed | Yes | 22:27 |
| Crashed | Thanks to nosrednaekim. | 22:28 |
| Arwen | do you have Option "VideoOverlays" "On"? | 22:28 |
| nosrednaekim | Arwen➜ probably not | 22:28 |
| Dr_Willis | echo "uid is $UID" | 22:28 |
| Dr_Willis | uid is 1000 | 22:28 |
| kaminix | ForgeAus, mefisto__: Thanks | 22:28 |
| Arwen | you need it, fglrx runs with no XVideo otherwise | 22:28 |
| Crashed | What file was it, again? | 22:28 |
| Agent_bob | like i said, it's not set. so i'm wondering why | 22:28 |
| nosrednaekim | Arwen➜ yep... forgot about that.... | 22:28 |
| Arwen | /etc/X11/xorg.conf under "Device" | 22:28 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed➜ just a sec, there'sa fast command you can run to set it | 22:28 |
| sub[t]rnl | Agent_bob➜ thats strange, UID is an internal var set by bash | 22:28 |
| Dr_Willis | try in a different terminal? - never heard of that getting unset. | 22:28 |
| MartinCleaver | thanks nosrednaekim | 22:29 |
| unagi | fixed! | 22:29 |
| Agent_bob | console | 22:29 |
| Dr_Willis | May want to check in #BASH - there may be some thing going on - we are missing | 22:29 |
| wilbur__ | How do I remove and reinstall ALSA | 22:29 |
| Agent_bob | well it isn't bash. it's dash do they have a channel ? | 22:29 |
| ForgeAus | wait in Bash? | 22:29 |
| sub[t]rnl | if he's using bash, and isn't doing unset UID in his ~/.bashrc, it should be there | 22:29 |
| sub[t]rnl | ah ha, its dash, not bash | 22:29 |
| ForgeAus | dash in ubuntu yeah | 22:30 |
| Crashed | http://pastebin.com/m6dd87a8f | 22:30 |
| Crashed | Look good? | 22:30 |
| ForgeAus | but it is bashish :) | 22:30 |
| Agent_bob | ForgeAus yes shell script. not a bash script. | 22:30 |
| Agent_bob | no bashism involved. | 22:30 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed➜ "sudo aticonfig --ovt" | 22:30 |
| Crashed | would it be okay if I renamed the identifier from generic to x800XL? | 22:30 |
| ForgeAus | well a particular type of shell script | 22:30 |
| ForgeAus | of course theres several types of shells too | 22:31 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed➜ don't modify things you don't have to in that file | 22:31 |
| Crashed | Ran that, nosred. | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | dash is the default system shell, its 'sh' not bash. so there may be differances.. never noticed that one befor. | 22:31 |
| Crashed | Checked the file, that option isn't there. | 22:31 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed➜ ooops,don't run that command... well ok, no big deal | 22:31 |
| mefisto__ | Crashed: you can if you also change the reference to it in the server layout section | 22:31 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed➜ the command is "sudo aticonfig --ovon" | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | dash does not seem to set the UID | 22:32 |
| ForgeAus | actually it stands for debian some-name-starting-with-a shell :) | 22:32 |
| Crashed | Ran that too, nothing there :P | 22:32 |
| sub[t]rnl | Agent_bob➜ set one of your own then! | 22:32 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed➜ meh.... | 22:32 |
| Arwen | having VideoOverlay on requires OpenGLOverlay off, but that's actually misleading since it switches XV off on demand :-P | 22:32 |
| ForgeAus | of course its based on the ash shell which itself is based on sh :) | 22:32 |
| sub[t]rnl | try something like... id |awk '{print $1}' |sed 's/uid=//' | 22:32 |
| Crashed | Should I do it manually? | 22:32 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed➜ sure | 22:32 |
| Agent_bob | test# echo -e '#!/bin/dash \n\necho "uid is $UID"' > testing.sh ;sh testing.sh | 22:32 |
| Dr_Willis | i just ran dash and looked at 'set' | 22:33 |
| Dr_Willis | uid was not set. :) | 22:33 |
| Agent_bob | see if your UID is set in dash or not. i may have something else broken. | 22:33 |
| Agent_bob | k | 22:33 |
| Crashed | http://pastebin.com/me53b299 | 22:33 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed➜ be careful where you put it... | 22:33 |
| Crashed | :[ | 22:33 |
| Agent_bob | so i can't use UID in shell scripts... hmmm | 22:34 |
| Crashed | http://pastebin.com/me53b299 - put it right there. | 22:34 |
| sub[t]rnl | Agent_bob➜ set one yourself.. | 22:34 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed➜ looking | 22:34 |
| Agent_bob | and USER is not readonly so anyone can do an# USER=root ;myscript.sh | 22:34 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed➜ wrong paste....... | 22:35 |
| Agent_bob | sub[t]rnl heh yeah but this needs to identify the user not have the user identify themselves | 22:35 |
| Crashed | http://pastebin.com/m6dd87a8f | 22:35 |
| Crashed | The copy + paste functionality doesn't seem up to par with windows. | 22:35 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed➜ there are hotkeys... | 22:36 |
| Crashed | Yeah, that's what I'm using. | 22:36 |
| SlimeyPete | Crashed: there's also the mousebuffer, which can be handy | 22:36 |
| Agent_bob | Crashed true. it has so many more functions that it's impossable to use as a point/click thing | 22:36 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed➜ I suppose thats right.... | 22:37 |
| Crashed | What is? | 22:37 |
| Agent_bob | Crashed left click higlight point where you want it pasted and middle click | 22:37 |
| nosrednaekim | the location, and what it says. | 22:37 |
| Crashed | The error seems right? | 22:37 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed➜ no...the new file | 22:38 |
| Crashed | Hm. | 22:39 |
| Crashed | I'm trying to do a little hack that this site is explaining, but when running the command 'sudo rmmod saa7134_alsa && sudo rmmod saa7134 && sudo modprobe saa7134' - I get the error that saa7134 is in use. | 22:39 |
| Crashed | I made sure mythtv, tv time, and kdetime aren't running. | 22:39 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed➜ you probably have tvtime or another video program running. | 22:39 |
| Crashed | ps doesn't show them | 22:40 |
| nosrednaekim | hum, odd. | 22:40 |
| Crashed | ps aux | grep tv comes up nothing. | 22:40 |
| Agent_bob | well my script wants to do one thing for users and another for root. but if it can't tell who is root and who isn't, then i'm Yobe'd | 22:40 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed➜ well, I don't know what could be using it, and I don't know any commands to tell you. | 22:41 |
| Crashed | :[ | 22:41 |
| Agent_bob | fuser | 22:41 |
| nosrednaekim | Crashed➜ well, now that you fixed X, maybe try restart X... | 22:42 |
| unagi | lol | 22:42 |
| Crashed | restart isn't a command. | 22:42 |
| unagi | sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart | 22:43 |
| sub[t]rnl | ps aux |grep anything <- kinda silly to just check if a process is running. Better to just use pgrep -l something | 22:43 |
| Agent_bob | sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart <generic | 22:43 |
| sub[t]rnl | /tipoftheday | 22:43 |
| unagi | interesting | 22:43 |
| * sub[t]rnl goes back to corner | 22:43 | |
| unagi | i could use ?dm in my script | 22:43 |
| Agent_bob | sub[t]rnl or pidof | 22:44 |
| nosrednaekim | unagi➜ I don't think so... | 22:44 |
| unagi | why not | 22:44 |
| sub[t]rnl | Agent_bob➜ pidof doesn't function like pgrep. pgrep you can enter partial commands, and it will turn up all relevant | 22:44 |
| Agent_bob | unagi ? will match any single char. | 22:45 |
| sub[t]rnl | like, pgrep -l kon (will show konqueror, konsole, et cetra) pidof has to be exact | 22:45 |
| giuseppe | ciao | 22:45 |
| sub[t]rnl | hence the "grep" in pgrep | 22:45 |
| sub[t]rnl | :D | 22:45 |
| unagi | ?? for 2 chars? | 22:45 |
| Agent_bob | sub[t]rnl didn't say it was the same. | 22:45 |
| Agent_bob | unagi yes | 22:45 |
| giuseppe | qualcuno sa come cambiare lingua a kubuntu? | 22:45 |
| sub[t]rnl | yeah, thast why its -not- better to use pidof | 22:45 |
| nosrednaekim | ooo, you can actually do that with any command? cool! | 22:45 |

| DexterF | trying to play back an mkv file, folds a full hd video. tried smplayer, mplayer, kaffeine, vlc so far, none of them are doing too well. | 22:47 |
| DexterF | vlc screws up generally, kaffeine stutters, mplayer de-syncs audio/video | 22:48 |
| SlimeyPete | DexterF: what output modules are they using? | 22:48 |
| SlimeyPete | xv? vesa? | 22:48 |
| unagi | im so happy to have my video back =)\ | 22:48 |
| DexterF | machine is an athlon 3200+ | 22:48 |
| DexterF | SlimeyPete: Xv on an Radeon X800 using r300 | 22:49 |
| Agent_bob | i.e. mixed regex and shell word expansion .* only matches inodes that start with . in the shell but the app that is acting on them may use regex where .* matches everything | 22:49 |
| SlimeyPete | ok. I was wondering if they were in VESA or X11 mode or something. | 22:49 |
| DexterF | SlimeyPete: cpu alone wouldn't even play that without losing frames | 22:49 |
| Arwen | DexterF, does your CPU suck? that's the obvious question to media playback issues. | 22:50 |
| Arwen | and what does MKV have to do with it? | 22:50 |
| SlimeyPete | Athlon 3200 is not amazing but should manage HD, I've thought. | 22:50 |
| unagi | my trash wont let me empty it | 22:50 |
| Arwen | you'd have to convert that to Intel terms for me to understand | 22:50 |
| SlimeyPete | certainly 720p (even my Athlon 1.2 can manage 720p divx) | 22:50 |
| Arwen | does disabling deblockign help? | 22:51 |
| DexterF | so then it's H264, and I've pretty much given detailed info on the cpu, Arwen | 22:51 |
| SlimeyPete | H.264 is enormously cpu-hungry though | 22:51 |
| SlimeyPete | hrm, 3200 might not be good enough for H.264. Do you know if it works in Windows? | 22:51 |
| Arwen | DexterF, how am I supposed to infer that it's H.264 simply from "MKV"? | 22:51 |
| Arwen | that's like inferring FLAC from an OGG extension | 22:51 |
| patrick_ | I need help with my invisible mouse! I uninstalled compiz and it is still invisible | 22:52 |
| DexterF | Arwen: because today hardly anything else is packed into mkv but h264 | 22:52 |
| patrick_ | im guessing if i change the theme it will work | 22:52 |
| patrick_ | but how do i open that? | 22:52 |
| * Agent_bob can't imagine blaming the cpu for such things. still using a p1 | 22:52 | |
| Arwen | DexterF, I've seen MPEG-2, XviD, and WMV. Lots of things are. | 22:52 |
| Arwen | you could just say "H.264" | 22:52 |
| Crashed | Thanks for giving me a heart attack guys. | 22:53 |
| Crashed | VideoOverlays isn't a valid option. | 22:53 |
| Crashed | I had to find that out the hard way. | 22:53 |
| Arwen | VideoOverlay | 22:53 |
| Arwen | not Overlays | 22:53 |
| patrick_ | brb | 22:53 |
| Crashed | You clearly said "VideoOverlays" :P | 22:53 |
| Arwen | hehe, sorry | 22:53 |
| Crashed | I rebooted my system 3 times until I finally went into the command line and tried starting X myself. | 22:54 |
| DexterF | Arwen: made your point already and go write in your pointy-ears-poetry-book "told off guy on IRC who had a vocabulary lapse" and then feed your ego on it for the next week or so, but next time you don't have anything helpful to say, just.. don't say anything, ok? | 22:55 |

| jussi01 | DexterF: Please dont abuse the bot | 22:56 |
| Crashed | How do you restart X again? | 22:56 |
| Crashed | something init.d restart | 22:56 |
| SlimeyPete | DexterF: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=85618 <--- suggests your proc may just not be quite up to it | 22:56 |
| DexterF | Crashed: ctrl-alt-backspace the none-kind way :) | 22:56 |
| genii | perhaps sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart | 22:56 |
| SlimeyPete | if it's 1080p | 22:56 |

| Agent_bob | genii ? | 22:57 |

| mefisto__ | anyone had any success authoring dvds with menus in k/ubuntu? | 22:58 |
| patrick_ | Alright, I am back. I installed compiz, and my mouse went invisible. How do I get it visible again? I cleaned the xorg.config of all the extra crap, and uninstalled compiz* | 22:58 |
| DexterF | SlimeyPete: I wonder if going fglrx (closed src ati driver, just in case...) might help, possible they hacked some vid acceleration into it that r300 doesnt have... totally not what I want tho, I was glad I got rid of fglrx... | 22:58 |
| Agent_bob | genii i'm fameliar with xdm gdm and kdm are there others floating around that i should know about ? | 22:58 |
| SlimeyPete | DexterF: I'd put money on it, tbh | 22:58 |
| SlimeyPete | not much money, though ;) | 22:59 |
| Arwen | ATI writing decoding acceleration? yeah right.. | 22:59 |
| mefisto__ | patrick_: maybe you could pastebin your xorg.conf? someone might spot something that's causing it | 23:00 |
| Manad | hi | 23:00 |
| DexterF | SlimeyPete: Socket A/AGP. Means cpu, board, ram, video have to be upped... I really consider recoding the video rather... :) | 23:01 |
| Manad | does anyone here mostly connect to the Internet through wireless? | 23:01 |
| DexterF | Manad: just ask the question | 23:01 |
| patrick_ | mefiest - I dont think i can manage copy and paste and navigating to pastbin and getting it without seeing the mouse | 23:01 |
| SlimeyPete | Manad: yes, I do | 23:01 |
| Crashed | VideoOverlay is also not a valid option. | 23:01 |
| Crashed | By the way, are there any other handy short-cuts I should know about? | 23:01 |
| Crashed | CTRL + ALT + INSERT appears to restart the system. | 23:02 |
| Crashed | CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE restarts X. | 23:02 |
| patrick_ | my xorg is fine -- its the same as it was when i was using the mouse normally | 23:02 |
| Crashed | Is there anything that shuts down X and brings me to the command line? | 23:02 |
| Manad | If I boot the computer, Network Manager won't connect to the wireless network until I go Root. I remember Windows had the same problem, you couldn't be a Limited user and use the wireless network (unless an admin was logged in and enabled it). | 23:02 |
| Manad | I want to know if this is a normal problem | 23:02 |
| Manad | or if the community has an established work-around | 23:02 |
| DareDevill | world>galaxy>universe>multiverse>___ whats next? | 23:03 |
| DexterF | Manad: totally not. what wifi hardware? | 23:03 |
| === tackat_ is now known as tackat | ||
| Manad | atheros card. Not sure which exactly. I'm using the default drivers. | 23:03 |
| kaminix | Is the flash plugin "supposed" to still be broken after todays update or have I messed something up? | 23:03 |
| DexterF | DareDevill: SumHawkingThingy? ;) | 23:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Manad: if it won't connect except as root, there's a serious problem | 23:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and i assume by using it as root you mean launching it with sudo | 23:04 |
| Manad | Daisuke: it won't connect unless I go in and enter the password (which I can't do without being root). I know the password is right cause I had to enter it like 25 times. | 23:04 |
| DareDevill | DexterF ... | 23:04 |
| DexterF | Manad: possilby replacing kdenetworkmanager with WiCD helps... at least sorted out some connection issues on a laptop I recently ran into. | 23:04 |
| Manad | I installed WICD (another network manager), and this one keeps me online when I boot up without having to go root. It runs a daemon constantly, which I guess is like a Linux "service" that launches at boot-time. The problem is that WICD sucks and is buggy, so if there's a way I can do it in Network Manager, I'm all ears | 23:04 |
| Manad | ha :P | 23:05 |
| DexterF | Manad: what version of wicd, and did you deinstall knetworkman. ? | 23:05 |
| Fitzou | Hi | 23:05 |
| DexterF | you can only have one of those two installed or the bite each other | 23:05 |
| mefisto__ | patrick_: you could try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to start over. maybe rename your current xorg.conf first as a backup | 23:05 |
| DexterF | they* | 23:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | unfortunately, i hear so many bad things about knetworkmanager that i'm extremely glad i don't use kde anymore :\ | 23:05 |
| Manad | no, I didn't deinstall knetworkman, but I think WICD did | 23:05 |
| Fitzou | I have some problem to install Usb Stick for wireless :s | 23:06 |
| intelikey | mefisto__ dpkg will backup the current config when reconfiguring | 23:06 |
| DexterF | Manad: don't know if this leaves some junk around... I had a pretty good read-up on this, lemme see if I can find it | 23:06 |
| Fitzou | some french speaker ? ^^ | 23:06 |
| patrick_ | ok mef | 23:07 |
| Daisuke_Ido | !fr | Fitzou | 23:07 |
| ubotu | Fitzou: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 23:07 |
| Manad | by the way, I couldn't do "apt-get remove wicd", I got a segmentation fault. Is it because it's not an official Kubuntu package? | 23:07 |
| mefisto__ | intelikey: yeah I know, but backing it up yourself makes it easier to find (for me) | 23:07 |
| Fitzou | thanks ^^ | 23:07 |
| Daisuke_Ido | apt-get caused a segfault? | 23:07 |
| Manad | yes | 23:07 |
| DexterF | Manad: hard to tell. you dont happen to speak german..? | 23:07 |
| Manad | sorry, no | 23:07 |
| Manad | french and english | 23:08 |
| Fitzou | bye | 23:08 |
| intelikey | try a dpkg --purge wicd | 23:08 |
| Manad | Actually, I forgot my USB key at work, so I'm going to try to get ahold of the package files for Network Manager before I do that...so I have some way of getting back online :P | 23:09 |
| DexterF | Manad: installed wicd by adding the wicd deb source to your list? | 23:09 |
| Manad | yeah dex | 23:09 |
| DexterF | ah, ok. well. should really have deinst'ed knetworkm. well... som you removed wicd and reinst'ed knwm? | 23:10 |
| Manad | no, I have not. I'm planning on doing that, which is why I asked if it was possible to ever make it remember the WPA key if I'm not root | 23:10 |
| DexterF | Manad: guess youll have to manually dive into the conf files and hack them up good. or reconf the corresponding packages. | 23:11 |
| === _czessi is now known as Czessi | ||
| Manad | I don't know I know how to do that. Are there specific insturctions somewhere? | 23:12 |
| DexterF | Manad: looks like a permissions problem to me tho. did your wifi work out of the box? | 23:12 |
| Manad | yeah it did | 23:12 |
| DexterF | as root only then, too? | 23:12 |
| Manad | well, basically, to enter the WPA key, I had to be root. Then the internet works, until I reboot. After a reboot, I can't logon to the wireless network until I go in the network manager and re-enter my WPA key (it wasn't empty: the previous one was there (albeit hidden)). But re-entering it makes me connect immediately. | 23:14 |
| unagi | where are default kde icons located | 23:14 |
| Arwen | /usr/share/icons/stuff I think | 23:14 |

| Arwen | yeah | 23:14 |
| Crashed | didn't work :( | 23:15 |
| Crashed | Same error as VideoOverlays. Unsupported option. | 23:15 |
| Arwen | pastebin your xorg.conf | 23:15 |
| Arwen | remember, it's: | 23:16 |
| Arwen | Option "VideoOverlay" "On" | 23:16 |
| DexterF | Manad: well, I'd say go with intelikeys suggestion and purge wicd, reinst knwm and reconf from sys settings. you might need to have a look at the files, dont know right now where the wifi setting ssit, somewhere in /etc | 23:16 |
| Arwen | under the device section | 23:16 |
| Crashed | uh | 23:16 |
| Crashed | Hm | 23:16 |
| Crashed | Identity "Blah" | 23:16 |
| Manad | how can I download a package without installing it? | 23:16 |
| Crashed | Option "VideoOverlay" "On" | 23:16 |
| Crashed | Like that? | 23:16 |
| Arwen | yes | 23:16 |
| Crashed | Ah! I misunderstood before. | 23:16 |
| Arwen | I assume you mean "Identifier" | 23:16 |
| Crashed | Yeah. | 23:17 |
| DexterF | Manad: apt-get download or so. its in the manpage | 23:17 |
| Crashed | Arwen: Is there a hotkey to stop X? | 23:17 |
| mefisto__ | Manad: apt-get -d package-name | 23:17 |
| cpk1 | Manad: aptitude download | 23:17 |
| Crashed | So I don't have to reboot again if this doesn't work. | 23:17 |
| Manad | and what do you mean by "reconf from sys settings". Is there a "Restore" function of sorts? My panel just crashed, so I can't take a look right now. | 23:17 |
| DexterF | SlimeyPete: its only 720p even. guess the file might me fscked up | 23:17 |
| frank23 | Crashed: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace restarts X | 23:18 |
| Crashed | Yeah, frank, but if Xorg.conf is broke then restarting it won't help :P | 23:18 |
| DexterF | Manad: well, like go to the kmenu, sys settings, set things | 23:18 |
| Crashed | I'd like to drop it, go to command line and edit xorg.conf. | 23:18 |
| sub[t]rnl | Crashed➜ if xorg.conf is broke, it will take you to the command line. :P also note sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop | 23:18 |

| unagi | i want my tuner working | 23:21 |
| Manad | Panel just crashed again...I think there's a lot of weird problems going on | 23:21 |
| Crashed | unagi: maybe you should bug everyone here like I do. :] | 23:21 |

| mefisto__ | unagi: it might be simpler to buy a new one that is supported | 23:22 |
| unagi | ok.....tell me where to find an express card tuner that is supported | 23:22 |

| Manad | guys, sorry to ask this many newbie questions, but is there a keyboard shortcut for running programs? I want to open Konqueror but since the panel crashed again, there's no shortcut menu. | 23:23 |

| SlimeyPete | alt-f2 | 23:24 |
| Dragnslcr | Alt-F2 I think | 23:24 |

| Dragnslcr | Katapult is also nice | 23:24 |
| Dragnslcr | You can try Alt-Space to see if it's running | 23:24 |

| Agent_bob | sub[t]rnl again posix compliant not bashism | 23:37 |
| sub[t]rnl | i c | 23:37 |
| Arwen | Crashed, I don't know. If you played the stream with MPlayer, it'd print this stuff but... | 23:37 |
| Arwen | maybe your capture card specs will do | 23:37 |
| sebastian | thx | 23:37 |
| sebastian | i found it | 23:37 |
| * Arwen doesn't know how to watch TV with MPlayer | 23:38 | |
| * Crashed installs mplayer | 23:38 | |
| Agent_bob | sub[t]rnl probably one of my most used scripts. http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d5c1c23e0 | 23:39 |
| Crashed | hm | 23:39 |
| Crashed | I tried mplayer tv:// | 23:39 |
| mefisto__ | Crashed: kmplayer can use your tv card | 23:39 |
| Crashed | I get a green screen. | 23:39 |
| sub[t]rnl | Agent_bob➜ now thats handy too | 23:39 |
| Crashed | mefisto: will it be able to give arwen the info he needs? | 23:39 |
| mefisto__ | what info? | 23:40 |
| Agent_bob | http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d4c8d4ce3 | 23:40 |
| oloughlin75 | My xorg.conf is not working, I am on a livecd that does. Is there a way to copy it over? | 23:40 |
| Crashed | Audio codecs and stuff. | 23:40 |
| gary_ | Evening.. | 23:40 |
| Crashed | TV Time isn't playing any sound. | 23:40 |
| gary_ | I've got 102 messages on a pop3 account that kmail simply refuses to download. I can telnet to the pop3 server, so there are no connection problems. | 23:41 |
| oloughlin75 | damn, i gues ill just reinstall | 23:41 |
| frank23 | Crashed: what kind of tuner is it? some have a sound cable that has to loop back to the sound card input | 23:41 |
| gary_ | Can i debug kmail? | 23:41 |
| Crashed | It's some phillips tuner | 23:42 |
| mefisto__ | Crashed: "sudo lshw |grep -i bttv" might tell you something | 23:42 |
| Arwen | Crashed, also take care that your sound is being routed right. I read that it goes to your sound card's line-in? | 23:42 |
| Crashed | Well, there's a bunch of jacks in the back of my tuner card. | 23:42 |
| Crashed | Looks like they're for sound. | 23:43 |
| Agent_bob | sub[t]rnl here's a toy for you. http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=da30e9bc | 23:43 |
| oloughlin75 | This is my 5th time install kubuntu in the past day and a half | 23:43 |
| Agent_bob | or this one http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d7fb3c5c2 | 23:43 |
| mefisto__ | Crashed: normally sound out of tv card -> in sound card (with a cable) | 23:43 |
| * linhack hallo | 23:43 | |
| sub[t]rnl | Agent_bob➜ these all yours? | 23:43 |
| sebastian | update | 23:43 |
| sebastian | where can i find the update manager? | 23:44 |
| Crashed | there's no cables here mefisto | 23:44 |
| Agent_bob | yeah | 23:44 |
| gary_ | kmail says Transmission complete, No new messages. | 23:44 |
| sub[t]rnl | nice man | 23:44 |
| frank23 | Crashed: there might be IR input, IR output and maybe sound | 23:44 |
| mefisto__ | sebastian: did you lose it again? | 23:44 |
| gary_ | I know there's a bunch. | 23:44 |
| Crashed | AUDIO IN, AUDIO OUT, REMOTE in the back. | 23:44 |
| sebastian | it werent the right one | 23:44 |
| Agent_bob | sub[t]rnl like "do-nothin'" scripts ? i wrote "runners" to replace "spinners" http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d7710e543 | 23:45 |
| Crashed | VHS, CABLE, VIDEO IN | 23:45 |
| sebastian | before it started itself when i logged into the computer, but now it wont | 23:45 |
| mefisto__ | Crashed: audio out should connect to your sound card's line in | 23:45 |
| sub[t]rnl | Agent_bob➜ I like the percentage display on your mem script. | 23:45 |
| Agent_bob | :) | 23:45 |
| Crashed | That it does not do, mefisto. | 23:45 |
| gary_ | lil help please? | 23:46 |
| Crashed | I don't know what kind of cord connects to those. | 23:46 |
| mefisto__ | Crashed: you probably won't get sound from the tv card without the cable | 23:46 |
| Crashed | Darn | 23:46 |
| sebastian | where can i find the update manager?? | 23:46 |
| mefisto__ | sebastian: in the system menu, or type adept_updater | 23:46 |
| gary_ | I like kontact. I really don't want to use evo. | 23:46 |
| sebastian | type in the terminal? | 23:47 |
| Crashed | mefisto: do you know what kind of cable would hook up to these ports? They're different sizes. | 23:47 |
| oloughlin75 | yes | 23:47 |
| Crashed | oh nevermind! | 23:48 |
| Crashed | They're not different sizes. | 23:48 |
| frank23 | sebastian: in the K menu->System->Adept Package manager | 23:48 |
| Crashed | They're jsut very deceving :P | 23:48 |
| Crashed | I rerouted the audio out on the sound card to the audio out on the tv tuner,. | 23:48 |
| Agent_bob | in case any one missed the "mem" script. http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d28bc7439 <<< displays the actual memory usage. | 23:49 |
| Crashed | What the hell, TV Time isn't running, but I can hear 'Canada's Worst Handyman' playing. | 23:49 |
| mefisto__ | Crashed: should be line in of the sound card | 23:49 |
| Crashed | mefisto: why is it playing sound if tv time isn't running? :( | 23:50 |
| mefisto__ | Crashed: maybe check ksysguard to see if it's still there, or some other player | 23:51 |
| frank23 | Crashed: the card probably sends sound output all the time | 23:51 |
| Crashed | :| | 23:51 |
| Crashed | so it's constantly using cpu and disk space? | 23:51 |
| Agent_bob | sub[t]rnl here's one you might like. http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d71405ced temp. | 23:51 |
| Crashed | Hm. | 23:51 |
| frank23 | Crashed: not necessarily. card does probably all the work | 23:51 |
| sub[t]rnl | get outta myy /proc!!!! | 23:52 |
| sub[t]rnl | :> | 23:52 |
| Crashed | It's a cheap $20 card. | 23:52 |
| sub[t]rnl | Agent_bob➜ remind me, the test condition -z returns "true" if file is.. empty? | 23:52 |
| Crashed | I got the 64 3000+ s939 for $10 :) | 23:52 |
| sub[t]rnl | can't remember | 23:52 |
| Crashed | I guess I just got it cheap. | 23:52 |
| frank23 | Crashed: that doesn't surprise me ;-) I had a card like that and gave up on it | 23:53 |
| Agent_bob | sub[t]rnl -z if it doesnt exist | 23:53 |
| mefisto__ | Crashed: the audio side of it is very simple. the tv card is receiving tv signal, you've plugged the sound into your sound card. the pc is just processing sound with your soundcard | 23:53 |
| Crashed | Ah, I see. | 23:53 |
| Agent_bob | sub[t]rnl [ -z "" ] is true. [ -z "anything" ] is false | 23:53 |
| Crashed | I have to press 'Q' to quit tvtime. | 23:53 |
| Crashed | Killing the process isn't enough. | 23:54 |
| frank23 | Crashed: and the sound on cable is just some fm channel I think | 23:54 |
| Arwen | Crashed, you watching digital TV or analog? | 23:54 |
| Crashed | Analog. | 23:54 |
| Arwen | for analog, you just plug into your sound card | 23:54 |
| wilbur_ | when starting ndisgtk, it states "loading application", then just disappears... anyone know how to fix this ? | 23:54 |
| Arwen | easy :-) | 23:54 |
| sub[t]rnl | Agent_bob➜ nice work. I use conky to keep real time light weight displays of my system, but its fun looking at code. thanks | 23:54 |
| Crashed | Arwen: do you have experience with TV Time? | 23:54 |
| Arwen | nope | 23:54 |
| sub[t]rnl | Agent_bob➜ trying to learn myself | 23:54 |
| Agent_bob | sub[t]rnl so [ -z "$1" ] is true if they entered a command line argument, false if they didn't. | 23:54 |
| frank23 | wilbur_: try sudo ndisgtk in a terminal | 23:54 |
| Crashed | Hm, so you wouldn't know if it's current saving a bunch of TV on my system? | 23:54 |
| Arwen | nope | 23:54 |
| Crashed | Alright. | 23:54 |
| gary_ | This is weird.. Thunderbird works just fine. | 23:54 |
| sub[t]rnl | Agent_bob➜ I just used, if [ $1 ]; then | 23:55 |
| sub[t]rnl | Agent_bob➜ but again, I'm bash | 23:55 |
| Agent_bob | sub[t]rnl that's a different test. that tests if the command "$1" expands to is true or not. | 23:55 |
| frank23 | Crashed: the people at #ubuntu-mythtv have lots of experience with tv tuners | 23:56 |
| belorix | No sound when IMing in Pidgin but works for everything else please help | 23:56 |
| === ubuntu is now known as fitoria | ||
| mefisto__ | Crashed: here's a tip. if you have an old vcr lying around, you can use the vcr's tv tuner to get the tv signal, and plug it into the tv card's video input. you'll get a much better signal than a cheap (or even expensive) tv card | 23:57 |
| Crashed | Oh really mefisto? | 23:57 |
| Crashed | I've got a bunch of VCRs laying around that my mom was gonna throw out the other day. | 23:57 |
| Crashed | That's an awesome tip. :] | 23:57 |
| Agent_bob | sub[t]rnl i.e. [ ! -z "$1" ] == [ "$1" ] | 23:57 |
| sub[t]rnl | Agent_bob➜ right, just saying thats how I check for a positional param | 23:58 |
| sub[t]rnl | Agent_bob➜ mind if I pm? | 23:58 |
| Arwen | Crashed, go watch digital TV. It's much more fun. | 23:58 |
| Crashed | I've got digital upstairs. | 23:58 |
| Crashed | This TV seems a bit lagged. | 23:58 |
| Agent_bob | sub[t]rnl i'm not registered. so i can't reply | 23:58 |
| frank23 | mefisto__: is that true? what would be the difference between that and the tuner on the card itself. I figured the video capture is where you lose quality | 23:58 |
| Crashed | And terrible quality :P | 23:58 |
| mefisto__ | Crashed: you'll have to change the video input to "composite" or "s-video" instead of "tuner" in whatever program you're watching in | 23:58 |
| sub[t]rnl | bah, lazy | 23:59 |
| sub[t]rnl | :> | 23:59 |
| Arwen | Crashed, heh | 23:59 |
| Crashed | When I changed it to composite, it gave me a blank screen. | 23:59 |
| sub[t]rnl | Agent_bob➜ say I wanted to store $5 through $9 in a var. whats the cleanest way to do it? | 23:59 |
| mefisto__ | frank23: they just skimp on the tuner in most tv cards. vcrs have pretty good quality tuners | 23:59 |
