[00:00] mefisto__: I've got 2 hauppauge pvr-150s [00:01] actually, digital TV in America is pretty bad too. Dunno about Europe and Asia, probably the same there too. [00:01] sub[t]rnl cleanest ??? not sure. i know several ways to get there. but the cleanest would be questionable. probably an array [00:01] (dtv encourages people to encode at really low bitrates) [00:01] hey [00:01] Agent_bob➜ yeah, trying to avoid bash arrays until I really need it. [00:01] I just speed up the fps 2x [00:02] Closed captions made it *much* slower. [00:02] Turned it off, and it's nice and smooth now. [00:02] frank23: give it a try. probably the vcr tuner will be better, but I don't know about your card specifically [00:02] mefisto__: what card do you have? [00:02] I can't believe this.. I enter the wrong password in Kmail, but it still says Transmission complete, No new messages. [00:02] Wtf? [00:03] Q=("$@") ;your_var=${Q[5-9]} or however the syntax is.

[00:21] would I* [00:22] frank23: iwconfig might do what you want [00:22] MrJigsaw: I am pretty sure that card is supported, you need to install the restricted modules (and maybe the headers for the kernel) of whatever kernel you are using and then install the nvidia driver, should be pretty straightforward, here is some documentation [00:22] !nvidia | MrJigsaw [00:22] MrJigsaw: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:23] Nope [00:23] 7950GT isent supported :| [00:23] purpleposeidon: what about WPA?

[00:29] purpleposeidon: hehe [00:29] wpa_supplicant is fairly painless.

[00:32] not sure, have a looksie [00:32] sub[t]rnl: ok [00:33] Thanks biovore :) [00:34] Dual-View isent that good supported in linux yet, i see. [00:35] it is.. but you have to do something in xorg.conf to setup dual-view [00:35] no gui for setting it up.. [00:35] ye [00:35] Well, there was a gui :) [00:35] But when i max kvirc on second screen it fills out both screens :) [00:36] yeah.. xineorama setting [00:36] So how do i make Amarok capable of playing mp3, WMA and FLAC ? :D [00:36] !mediaubuntu [00:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about mediaubuntu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:36] !restricted [00:36] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:37] uh, and how do i make FireFox default browser ? :D [00:38] MrJigsaw: Alt+f2 -> type kcontrol and press enter -> KDE Components -> Default Applications -> Web Browser [00:39] Thanks.. [00:39] i hope this is an ok question. i have a 64bit system running vista 32 bit, i an going to install Kubuntu on and duel boot. should i install the 64bit or 32bit Kubuntu, which is better? [00:40] dosn't really matter.. life is easier for beginners with the 32bit version.. (some things are busted on 64bit) [00:40] And now im at all these starters questions, do anyone know why kvirc makes åæø squares? And how do i fix? :) [00:41] Has to do with the unicode language settings [00:41] Is there a room for (hardy)? [00:41] what is busted on the 64bit? is it the nvidia drivers? [00:41] thanks biovore, i think i got it now :)= [00:42] XceII: yes #ubuntu+1 [00:42] thanks frank, by the way, hardy alpha $ rocks [00:42] 4 [00:43] have a good day folks [00:45] well [00:45] its 01:42 at my place.. kinda going to sleep soon ;P [00:46] does anyone know what problems on the 64bit Kubuntu before install??? please. [00:46] basicly anything closed source [00:46] flash [00:47] they can work.. but its extra work to get them working.. [00:47] thats all?? [00:47] multimedia codecs [00:47] some of them have problems on 64bit === adam_ is now known as adambrz [00:48] The only real reason for 64bit is if your running 4GB or more..

[01:14] for example, this site: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 it loades up, says done and goes in white screen [01:20] Is there a way to speed up amarok? Whenever I edit trak information, it takes a while before its reflected in the list [01:21] i dont think amarok kan handle 51k songs ;-/ [01:22] I only have 3k! [01:22] It definetly cant handle 51k songs though [01:22] damn its slow ;> [01:23] there a way to speed it up when I edit track information? [01:23] I edited like 3 albums and its had the circle busy icon for like 5 minutes [01:23] MrJigsaw: takes a while to open each song and read the ID3 tags [01:24] and input them into a database [01:24] it sure does :) [01:25] Is koffeine better at handeling many files ? [01:26] once it builds the database its fast [01:26] Okay [01:26] only have to do it once.. [01:26] Where is the sound options in kubuntu ? [01:26] kmix [01:28] amarok can handle 51k songs easily [01:28] ...but not with sqlite :\ [01:28] sqlite? :) [01:28] who has 51k songs? [01:29] I do [01:29] legally? [01:29] get lost dude ;P [01:29] MrJigsaw: you're going to have to use mysql [01:29] lol [01:29] i would get lost with that much music [01:29] chould problably be counted on 2 hands how many legal CD's ive got ;) [01:29] 51k copies of 'in rainbows' that he legally paid $0.00 for [01:29] there we go [01:30] !piracy [01:30] piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

[01:31] tell it to rescan. [01:31] and wait.............. [01:31] this is why you don't use sqlite. [01:31] rescan will just pick up the changes [01:32] what do you use? [01:32] I use mysql on the backend here.. [01:32] I have a fairly large collection here.. [01:32] is it noticeably better than sqlite? [01:32] I pull them all off network storage.. [01:32] yes.. [01:32] mysql, 35k+ [01:32] sqlite has limits [01:32] noticably? it blows sqlite out of the water. [01:33] mysql is an actual database server.. [01:33] i will look how to set it up [01:33] sqlite is a file on the disk.. [01:33] google [01:33] i did a rescan and it didnt fix the tracks that i changed....

I cant even change a single track... [01:44] Ive been trying apt-cache search, and apt-get install, but install finds an old one and search finds nothing ;/ [01:45] MrJigsaw➜ it should have made you realize that the application you are after is probably in the repo's. And installing a pre packaged .deb from the repositories is as simple as sudo apt-get amsn rather than unzipping and compiling anything from source [01:46] sudo apt-get install amsn* [01:46] compiling dude.. i got kubuntu first time TODAY :/ [01:47] MrJigsaw: what are you trying to do? [01:48] Installing the newest build of aMSN [01:48] hello all. Any of you guys know how I can see all the make targets in the kernel? I'm building from source and need a little refresher on how it all works. [01:48] in the terminal type: sudo apt-get install amsn* [01:48] Ive done that ffs.. [01:48] But its an OLD build.. [01:49] you have to download it and compile it than [01:49] packages in the repositories aim at stability over bleeding edge. If there isn't an absolute reason you need the latest, stick with simplicity (especially if your new) [01:49] How do i compile i then ? :) [01:50] Well.. this one is looking shit, like it dosent support my high resulotion [01:50] MrJigsaw: cd to the directory, sudo ./configure, sudo make, and finally sudo make install [01:50] !language [01:50] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[02:04] try ex. blkid /dev/sda2 then using that as the /dev/ entry in your fstab [02:04] haven't used uuid in fstab [02:05] i'm pretty sure that will solve your troubles [02:06] whats a good java ide? [02:08] thank you [02:30] anybody know the technical name for that 4 pin power connector on the back of most portable hard drives? [02:30] the molex conector? [02:31] 4 pin, white plastic, bevels on 2 corners. :) [02:31] I dunno, it's round. [02:31] black, inlayed in the case of the portable hard drive. [02:31] round? Hmm.. That sounds like a Power supply connector. [02:31] It has a 5 V , a 12 V and 2 ground wires. [02:31] yah, it would be. [02:31] I need the more technical name. [02:31] That can vary dependng on the brand of portable hd/enclosuer [02:31] I'm trying to find a dc-dc car lighter power adaptor for it. [02:32] I got like 5 different portable hd's and they all got different conectors. [02:32] I feel stupid, but why did my Gutsy installation CD use LILO instead of Grub? [02:32] Proberly be best to get a dc-ac adaptor and use the one that came with the hd. [02:32] lame. So I'm probably stuck going with the incredibly hackish dc-ac-dc route. [02:32] yep. [02:32] if the thing wants 5v and 12v - you aint going to get both from the cig. lighter. :) [02:32] Hi Guys I have a question for the ssh-professionals :D How can I connect through a gateway-server to another server using fish ?

[02:35] maybe mine has one.. I just got it Saturday... [02:35] Also, how do I look for a library in a package with adept? [02:35] Nope. Dodge ram truck. ive seen them sort of 'hidden' inside the center console, or right at the base of the console and so on.

Have just installed Kubuntu, but don't think the driver for my graphics card has installed (or installed properly). It's a Radeon Mobility HD 2400. I followed instructions to install the fglrx driver, but that doesn't seem to have made any difference. It's not showing on the Restricted Drivers Manager either. Any ideas? [03:10] this is true but my permissions was wrong on login without manager so just a note to check if kde 4 is uninstalled [03:11] TuB^➜ is that a really new Gfx card? [03:11] just wanted you to have the info in case you needed it for kde 4 [03:11] ses59_➜ k, thanks for the info then ses59_ [03:11] Agent_bob: i'm running as root because I'm executing /usr/src [03:12] nosrednaekim: Came out in summer 07 I've read somewhere. [03:12] thomas_newbie__ the command you posted should not need sudo [03:12] TuB^➜ ok, then you'll need the latest ATI drivers [03:12] it's only displaying info to stdout which is non-root anyway [03:13] TuB^➜ the ones in restricted-manager don't support those. [03:13] Agent_bob: I think when I execute it its giving me all code [03:14] test [03:14] nosrednaekim: Any chance you can point me to a hold-your-hand guide for this? If not, I'm sure google's my friend! [03:14] Hey [03:14] TuB^➜ yeah...one moment [03:14] thomas_newbie__ the only reason i mentioned it, is your nick sujests that you might not fully understand why and what sudo actually does. unnessecary over use of sudo is no better than logging in as root. [03:15] OK people, tell me this - if I downloaded Ubuntu Hardy, but installed kubuntu-desktop, and use KDE 80% of the time, barely ever use Gnome apps (boo), and have the "Kubuntu" screens during boot and shut-down, am I an Ubuntu user or a Kubuntu user? [03:15] mm [03:15] well [03:15] Agent_bob: yes i now what sudo does.....you're right [03:15] people blow the dangers of root out of proportion in my opinion [03:15] jacob➜ you are a Linux user :) [03:16] TuB^➜ http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide [03:16] Yup, but more specifically...I say I'm an "Ubuntu KDE" user [03:16] Ubuntu / KDE [03:16] Agent_bob: but it doesn't give me the specific lines with those words [03:17] Thanks a lot, nosrednaekim [03:17] TuB^➜ uninstall any previous drivers you installed first though === NDPMB is now known as NDPMacBook [03:17] Yeah, am on that [03:17] jacob➜ kubuntu -is- ubuntu + kde [03:17] jacob➜ call yourself what you want.... as long as you use KDE, we won't send Konqui after you :) [03:17] ... [03:18] remember back in the day when we logged in as root, compiled our own kernels every month, and checked tripwire logs? [03:18] * sub[t]rnl goes back to his wine [03:19] Maybe the GNOME mascot should be Beowulf (because in the story, he fights a dragon :) ) [03:19] lol [03:20] Does Kubuntu use Synaptic by default? [03:20] no.... Adept [03:20] but I use synaptic anyway [03:20] Ah, I've seen that [03:20] Yeah, I prefer Synaptic [03:20] bah, no loyalty [03:21] is there an issue with the repositories lately? [03:21] sener➜ not that I know of [03:21] sub[t]rnl➜ heh, im interesting in the kde4 adept. [03:21] i keep jamming up when apt-get update or install [03:22] nosrednaekim➜ :> [03:22] I have KDE4 on here...but I still use KDE 3.5 [03:22] Anybody notice the resemblance of KDE 4 to Vista? [03:22] just thought there was an issue at the repo end. [03:22] nope [03:26] how can I avoid getting into maintenance mode on boot if there's drive missing which is included in /etc/fstab? [03:26] looking for an opinion: I couldn't get my external ntfs usb hard drive working in ubuntu because of a policy issue or something, so I just converted it to fat32. That was a good idea right? No serious drawbacks to a fat32 filesystem over ntfs? [03:27] drif➜ you'll need to configure your divices to use a UUID [03:27] drif➜ that is if your switching out drives and they are getting a different device node and boot order.. use blkid /dev/whatever [03:28] Stoffer➜ you can't store files over 2 gigs(I think)... but otherwise you are good [03:28] wait...that's a serious drawback [03:28] no...that won't work at all [03:28] sheeee-ooot [03:28] since i installed a new linksys router - i'm having this issue when i apt-get - : 99% [Connecting to ca.archive.ubuntu.com (129.97.134.71)] and it times out - any idea why? [03:28] sub[t]rnl: could you help me with that command [03:29] ok...well, then I'll be back later trying to get an external ntfs usb drive working [03:29] thomas_newbie__➜ which? [03:29] nosrednaekim, thansk [03:29] Stoffer➜ does it need to be accessed by windows?you could always use ext3 [03:29] My sister is having a serious sound problem that I can't seem to fix [03:30] nosrednaekim, yeah, because I'm planning to use it to copy files from a windows machine [03:30] ah..ok [03:30] nosrednaekim, if the world was perfect, and everyone ran linux, then np [03:30] sub[t]rnl: find . -name "*.c" -exec grep -i [fuck] '{}' \; [03:30] nosrednaekim, unfortunately.... [03:30] thomas_newbie__➜ lets keep the language out of it [03:30] Stoffer➜ ^_^ [03:31] nosrednaekim, then again the ntfs-3g issue w/ externals in k/ubuntu isn't that convenient either.... I don't even understand the problem... [03:31] sub[t]rnl: ok sorry, but you get the idea. Well just a question I don't understand the part after the swear word. And It's not working...its giving me output but not any matches...just lines of code [03:31] nosrednaekim, ntfs-config definitely doesn't fix it [03:32] can I use 'default' and noauto in conjunction in fstab line? does the latter outrule auto (as set by default) [03:33] thomas_newbie__➜ remove the ['s from your piped grep pattern [03:33] thomas_newbie__➜ if your wanting to redirect stderr, add 2>&- to the end (if your using bash) otherwise, use 2>/dev/null [03:33] How do I kill a process I dont have permission o kill? [03:34] sudo [03:37] sub[t]rnl: ok I think i'm running the command in the right directory /usr/src. I ran it at school under Fedora and got a lot of results from programers comments...but i'm not finding anything here [03:39] yeah, best to read up on find and grep then. Just break it down find . (find in the current directory that you run it from) -name "*.c" (any files ending with .c) -exec (run this command on found matches) grep -i (filter for, not case sensitive) [03:40] just change the . to a more general location, like /usr, if you want a broader search [03:42] thomas_newbie__➜ if you wanted to know the '{}' \; at the end, thats just a normal part of the -exec in find, to run the command once on every file found.. you can also read up on xargs as a program to pipe find too. [03:44] My sister is having a serious sound problem that I can't seem to fix [03:44] sub[t]rnl: OK i see, thanks for the help. [03:45] my sound will not work and my brother is really good at computers [03:46] !alsa | scott_ [03:46] scott_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [03:46] troubleshooting link is very helpfull [03:47] The sound system is enabled [03:47] All she gets is a looping sound [03:48] like a piece of the sound is in a loop [03:48] we are both on here lol [03:48] hehe, ok, show me lspci -v |grep -i audio [03:48] run that from konsole [03:50] 00:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] (rev 06) [03:50] Subsystem: Ensoniq Creative Sound Blaster AudioPCI64V, AudioPCI128 [03:50] 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

[03:52] Both ogg, MP3, and streaming audio from the nwt [03:53] try this modprobe snd-ens1371 [03:54] let me know if you get any output [03:55] ok [03:55] No, same thing [03:56] sounds like a broken record [03:56] yeah, really strange [03:56] :/ [03:57] As I said, I can't figure it out [03:57] I have never seen anything like it [03:57] denise: A broken.... what? ;) [03:57] scott_➜ yeah, that makes two [03:57] I was thinking about doing a re-install of the OS [03:58] scott_➜ just to make sure that sound module is loaded, do lsmod |grep ens [03:59] modprobe snd-ens1371 [03:59] denise@ubuntu:~$ lsmod |grep ens [03:59] snd_ens1371 27680 3 [03:59] gameport 16776 2 snd_via82xx,snd_ens1371 [03:59] snd_ac97_codec 100644 3 snd_via82xx,snd_via82xx_modem,snd_ens1371 [03:59] snd_pcm 80388 6 snd_via82xx,snd_via82xx_modem,snd_ens1371,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss [03:59] snd_rawmidi 25728 3 snd_mpu401_uart,snd_seq_midi,snd_ens1371 [03:59] snd 54660 19 snd_via82xx,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_seq_oss,snd_via82xx_modem,snd_ens1371,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_timer [03:59] yeah, its loaded [04:00] did the trouble just happen automagically? or was it like this from scratch [04:00] it was working fine then no sound at all I took my computer to scott to fix it [04:01] wild [04:01] sorry I couldn't help more [04:01] That is okay, you tried some stuff I did not :) [04:01] I can only think of a defective motherboard [04:02] yeah, that could be [04:02] is the sound like a reverbing echo that gets louder? [04:02] or the same constant loop of sound [04:02] then my computer is f@#$ed [04:03] Please, watch the language [04:03] No, not louder [04:03] The same constant loop [04:04] k, last ditch effort would be adjust settings in alsamixer, but i doubt that will fix your woes.. [04:04] sorry [04:04] bbiab [04:04] I tried fooling around with kmix [04:04] you know how hard it is to whatch something on utube with no sound [04:05] I also tried a live cd, the only one I had was the 6.06 [04:05] I got the same thing with the amarok in 6.06 [04:07] scott_➜ you've only tried with amarok? [04:08] i also like to use amarok on my computer if we cant fix it i will have to remove it :( [04:08] I tried kaffiene in the 6.06, but it crashed on me [04:08] ok, i would try a couple other media players. [04:08] On her current Kubuntu 7.10 I also tried other things [04:09] k. pop into #amarok and see if anyone has seen this problem. [04:09] Okay, I will have her try xine or mplayer [04:09] thats where you'll find the audio geeks :> [04:09] but, she gets no sound systems though [04:11] try with mplayer for sure though [04:11] Speaking of Amarok, how does it work for peopel here? [04:11] Crashes a lot in Hardy for me [04:11] xine is amaroks engine [04:11] Though lately it hasn't been so bad [04:11] amarok is great here. best thing since sliced bread [04:12] I really love the program, it just needs to smooth its edges [04:12] Or maybe it's just the fact that I'm using an alpha version of the distro [04:12] I hope it's the latter [04:12] tis [04:12] Main problem is with internet streams...it sometimes goes unstable trying to add them, and a lot of the time I get a stupid "demux plugin not available" message, even though clicking the stream again brings it up just fine [04:13] They say it's a problem with the current xine-lib that's supposed to be fixed in the next release [04:13] 1.1.12 or something [04:13] Apparently it's available in CVS or something but I'm too lazy to get it and install it [04:13] But otherwise Amarok has been behaving well the last day or two [04:14] Just got the message..."No suitable demux plugin. This often means that the file format is not supported." [04:14] But clicking on the stream again, no problem at all [04:18] I tried Mplayer and same thing [04:19] It seems to very slowly play through the song, but while looping === ubuntu is now known as kernco [04:25] I'm running a live cd right now, not sure if it's 32-bit or 64-bit. How can I find out? [04:26] scott_➜ hrm [04:26] scott_➜ mind trying something real quick? [04:26] kernco: Is it red or yellow? [04:27] I burnt it from an image I downloaded...just forgot to label it >_< [04:27] ok [04:27] what is that? [04:27] jacob: I noticed that too in gutsy No suitable demux plugin. [04:27] kernco: uname -a should tell you [04:28] Yea, I get the "No suitible demux plugin" as well when I know I can play the sound [04:28] genii: Thanks [04:29] scott_➜ edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and add pnpbios=off in the kernel boot line [04:30] Allright, I will get my sister to do that [04:30] kk [04:31] sub[t]rnl: how do you do those arrows? [04:31] -> maybe? [04:31] nope :P [04:32] i seem to have lost the kmenu on black bar along the bottom of my screen... i'm in kde4 and cannot restore it, and googled to no avail, does anyone know what i might be able to do to get it back? [04:35] im back [04:35] hi denise. [04:36] denise➜ did you add pnpbios=off to your /boot/grub/menu.lst? [04:36] Yea [04:37] no change then? [04:37] And I rebooted [04:37] no change [04:37] hi david [04:37] k, it was an old bug fix I dug up on launchpad. had to take a stab at it.

[04:39] If that does not fix it, we will know it is hardware [04:39] yicks [04:39] alt f2 brought up the command interface [04:39] aye [04:39] but plasma brings nothing up [04:40] night [04:40] run plasma (command) === genii_ is now known as genii [04:40] click launch [04:40] then nothing [04:41] david_➜ try #kubuntu-kde4 [04:42] is there currently a "Kubuntu" way of installing compiz and emerald....

I've got a weird problem with the kvpnc program. For some reason, if I start it via the kmenu or alt+f2, it runs as root instead of my uid [07:18] higher resolutions, I showed you the link on how to do it [07:19] obviously not cause the screen complains about the input being to large. [07:19] Netkiller➜ your using the i810 driver, it tells you step by step how to upgrade to the intel driver, or install 915resolution to get higher resolutions [07:19] If I could SEEE what I was doing I would do that >_< [07:19] The binary isn't suid, though. And if I start it directly from a terminal, it does run with my uid [07:20] But first I need to lower the resolution by editing the xorg.conf which I am asking for help with. [07:21] Netkiller➜ line 115 of your xorg.conf Virtual 1440 900 remove that. [07:21] thats it? [07:21] Netkiller➜ also remove the 800x600 modes [07:22] I guess the question is twofold: HTF does it manage to run as root in the first place and how do I make it not do that in a convenient way (a dedicated terminal being an inconvenient way :P)?

[12:37] app* [12:37] the free command shows a lot of info [12:38] MrJigsaw: Top shows overall stats at the top of the screen. [12:38] Isent there a program with a gui for it? :D [12:39] MrJigsaw: try KSysGuard [12:39] it's in the System menu I think [12:39] it shows graphs. [12:39] therss all kinds of system monitors out. Depends on what you want. [12:39] htop is really nice [12:39] are there any other system console tools? [12:39] like that?

[12:41] Dorvak? ;S [12:41] Firewall guess DareDevill? [12:41] DareDevill: on irc servers u usually only run proxy scanner ... the rest is usually done by firewalls and such [12:41] i* [12:41] DareDevill, I imagine some of the basic firewalling guides will show you the fundamental things to do. But i imagine the bigest security hole will be the ircd deamon itself. [12:42] hardware/software [12:42] block scans and so forth. [12:42] MrJigsaw c1|freaky Dr_Willis sure. firewalling is first assumption. but what about ddos? [12:42] what about it... [12:42] Mem: 3632400k total, 3410972k used, 221428k free - How much is that in Mb? :S [12:43] if you got 100000000000 machines all trying to connect to your irc server at the same time.. well... [12:43] how to prevent ddos [12:43] Firewall ;> [12:43] no. firewalls dont prevent it [12:43] okay [12:43] if there was a 100% fool proof way to do that.. well... I imagine that the various sites you hear about getting DDOS'd wouldent be getting ddos'ed :) [12:44] Uhm.. dos that i pasted before meens kubuntu is useng 3400Mb of my 4Gb rams? ;| [12:44] MrJigsaw, Linux grabs about all the ram it can for disk cache and so forth. [12:44] see how much swap its using. - proberly none :) [12:44] compare that to a windows machine. [12:45] I dont use the swap thingy [12:45] total used free shared buffers cached [12:45] Mem: 3114988 2036524 1078464 [12:45] i got 3 gb ram. and it seems 1 gb is free - approx. [12:45] Mem: 1034112k total, 569724k used, 464388k free, 17516k buffers [12:45] windows vista? [12:45] 10Gb ram kiss_kill? ;| [12:45] 1G [12:46] Dosent kubuntu 32Bit support 4Gb Memory ? [12:46] 1G+256M haha [12:46] I think that OVER 4gb ( in some cases) needs 64bit. [12:46] i use kubuntu [12:46] but in some cases - you may not get the full use of 4gb exactly - with 32bit. [12:47] ALl right.. [12:47] I read up on it once.. a lot depends on the specific mb/chipset/other things. [12:47] Ive got 4Gb, but only shows 3.6Gb ;( [12:47] It got into a nasty thread on a forum i found. [12:47] MrJigsaw, that sounds like the issue i was reading in the thread. [12:47] Okay [12:47] memory fro the video card, and otehr things have to get mapped somewhere also I think was the jist of it. [12:47] Well 400Mb mem isent worth crying over ;P [12:48] Which program du you guys use instead of photoshop ?? gimp ? [12:48] if I lost 400MB of RAM I'd only have 112 left [12:48] and then I'd cry [12:49] Well.. [12:49] How much have you got ? [12:49] 512 [12:49] in this laptop [12:49] my pc is doing a distribution upgrade and has paused on installing upgrades [12:49] Well no wonder you would cry ;) [12:50] Kubuntu would cry. In fact, Kubuntu would probably fail to start. [12:50] in htop it seems that its using 508/3547 :-) [12:50] it has enough trouble booting in 256MB [12:51] Where do I find the .desktop files? [12:52] Damn its nizzle.. i dident think my wireless keyboard would work in linux, but it does and also the media files.. [12:52] bluetooth wireless? [12:52] or just a normal wireless. :) [12:52] normal wireless i think [12:52] its Logitech MX3200 :) [12:53] and this is spurising because? :) [12:53] they are normally designed where they dont need any drivers. [12:53] uhm.. im using wine to run utorrent ( hope its okay to ask questions about wine using this app, its not directly illegal though ), but when i try opening utorrent it just show whats behind it.. is utorrent fucked then ? [12:53] Dr_Willis: dno.. [12:54] MrJigsaw, you may want to try some of the older versions of utorrent. [12:54] 1.6.1 im using, its pretty old :/ [12:54] I recall some issues with utorrent and wine. I perfer ktorrent [12:54] Try a newer one then. :) [12:54] i like deluge [12:54] It worked great all night.. [12:54] like it never refreshing its window right after you minimized it..\ [12:54] !deluge [12:54] deluge is a new Bittorrent client, created using Python and GTK+, intended to bring a native, full-featured client to !GTK environments such as GNOME and Xfce - See http://deluge-torrent.org/ for more information or http://download.deluge-torrent.org/stable/ubuntu/feisty/ for downloading. [12:55] what wine are you using? [12:55] uhm dunno.. i just wrote apt-get install wine ;P [12:55] wine progresses greatly between versions. you can try using the wine ubuntu repository which installs the latest wine and updates itself every two weeks [12:56] but really, for bittorrent there's no reason to use wine. ktorrent and azureus do their job... [12:56] I dont like any of those clients.. [12:56] parkin_: is deluge nice ? [12:58] http://winehq.org/site/download-deb [12:58] and it's still a mistake. running stuff in wine is prone to errors, if your only problem with ktorrent/azureus is that you don't like/aren't used to them, get used to them because it'll save you headaches [12:59] Its not the only problem :-) [12:59] Ktorrent has all the features i need. :) what do ya really need.. ya start it up.. let it run for a few days.. get your.. err.. Linux isos downloaded.. there ya go. [12:59] Theyre banned at some of my sites...

[13:08] Sigh. Still having sound problems. I've installed the drivers for my card, and it's showing up, but even with the speakers on maximum volume, I can only hear sound from the speakers very faintly. Any suggestions? [13:08] how do I combine split files into one file for rar? [13:08] You did partition the drive and make a / and a swap? [13:08] yup .. i tried first to create /, home and swap [13:08] Greenery, with multi part rars' ive just used the unrar command and told it the name of the first file. No need to join them === tom__ is now known as TuB^ [13:08] but then i only skipped home and created root (/) and swap [13:09] still the same problem [13:09] okay thanks [13:09] ive just tryed to install my nvidia from restricted drivers [13:09] usiRev, could just let the installer partition the virtual disk. [13:10] and get an error wont allow me to enable === altisim03 is now known as Midway [13:10] so use the "automatic partitioning? [13:11] usiRev, may as well. You aint gaining a lot by having a seperate /home on a virtual disk. [13:11] I do tend to use vmware more then virtualbox :) so i may wrong. but i dont see much benifit in it. [13:11] Dr_Willis: i tried to have separate /home, but then left that idea, but still the installer has problems to create swap space [13:12] ill try to leave all to installer, no manual partitioning .. will see what happens ..:) [13:12] i dont recall ever installing ubuntu in virtualbox. I tend to just test live cds with the things [13:13] well.. im running this under winXP ..:) [13:13] no restarts needed ..:D [13:13] i cant install my nvidia card drivers plz help [13:14] viktor, you may want to check the ubuntu forums for your exact nvidia card. the restricted-manager tool has always worked for me. [13:14] But i hear some specific nividia cards can cause issues [13:14] 8500gt it never had a problem when i used kubuntu in the past [13:15] so the stuff was working and suddendly stopped? or did you reinstall? [13:16] What program do you guys use instead of photoshop ? :-) [13:16] I use gimp for most all my image needs. [13:16] and making icons. :) [13:16] Dr_Willis: not even the automatic partitioner can help ... still problem with creating swap [13:18] but the live cd is booted on virtualbox .. [13:20] mmkay ... cya [13:20] I would say try out the free vmware [13:21] * Dr_Willis wonders if usirev did create a virtual disk for virtualbox to use...

I was wondering can I install Synaptic and totally remove adept? [13:26] aharoon, xmms is a very old program. it may not have the ability to use special fonts like that. (i could be wrong, check the xmms settings, and command line options if you want) You may want to try a more mondern player like bmpx, or the xmms2 (not tried that in ages) [13:26] ThunderX, installing synaptic is trivial. No need to remove adept [13:26] I use synaptic all the time. I perfer it to adept [13:27] yes, but can i remove it? [13:27] ok what is program like xmms can i use ? i like something looks like winamp in windows [13:27] Amarok is totally wubish [13:28] amarok not like winamp [13:28] Sure it aint, its better ;) [13:28] http://peecee.dk/upload/view/97209/full <- This means that im using 510Mb memory, right?

What concerns me is that I'm using NVIDIA RAID 0+1 on 4 hard drives. Also, I have an ATI Radeon X1950 GT graphics card driving two monitors. I have an AMD 64 x 2 5200 cpu. Does kubuntu support this hardware? [14:06] Pendeta: should, try with liveCD first [14:07] I installed 7.10 and immediately did updates. There was an error at some point (I wasn't babysitting the computer) regarding another installer running- kind of odd since the updater opened and downloaded just fine. Now I can't install anything because it thinks an installer is already open. Reboot did not resolve this problem and I cannot find the problem process. Any ideas?

[16:12] do i need the sun java development kit? [16:13] icewaterman, you most likely have it installed , it may be hidden , try this in the run command box: kdesu kate /boot/grub/menu.lst , then check if hiddenmenu is uncommented (no # in front) [16:13] Help!! I have installed the newest Nvidia drivers and now my monitior is really screwed up! [16:13] brian, uninstall it [16:13] BluesKaj: no, i cannot reinstall it (grub-install /dev/hda) [16:13] The screen is too small, I can't [16:13] BluesKaj: the package is there [16:14] I'm not telling you to install grub, just to check and edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file [16:15] exist a boot-up manager for kubuntu ?

I am not a geek but used linux for a while. i heard that its possible to use as many user accounts simultaniously with only one cpu and may moniters + key board mice. is that a good idea? [16:15] Ah ok I am uninstalling the nVidia Drivers.. This happened before aswell.Do I need to get different Drivers? [16:15] BluesKaj: i have, but grub is not in mbr anymore [16:15] so i need to reinstall [16:15] that can be done by grub-install /dev/hda [16:15] dont, install any driver, just let it be [16:16] but not for me [16:16] for some reason that always fails [16:16] it usally get screwed up when u install a driver that doesent come with ubuntu [16:16] Where can I find the correct drivers for my 6200? Aparently the default ones are wrong.. [16:16] MGalaxy: It's probably like that in Adept because Adept is run as root (not as your own user), so it is styled according to the settings of the root user. Go Kicker -> Run Command and run "kdesu kcontrol" and under the themes bit change it to look how you want. [16:17] download from nvidia, but i dont know how it will work [16:17] i'm searching for a software like submitwolf but for linux... it's for submit websites to search engines.. any hint?

[17:49] * Dunas watches the torrent download ever so slowly. @.@ [17:49] Dunas, blisted drivers? [17:49] Dunas, you mean like closed source drivers? [17:49] Yes, such as the RTL818x ones. [17:49] Dunas, sorry, don't understand the "blisted" part of it :) [17:50] I remember trying Ubuntu, and in order to force this laptop to connect to the internet, I had to modify the blacklisted drivers- I think they refer to the closed source ones, or ones that cause fatal errors. [17:51] ...and with 150 kB/s, Bittornado says it'll take three hours more than when it hit 1 kB/s. Oo [17:51] Dunas, Ah, thats more often about malfunctioning drivers I think.. But closed source drivers are also discouraged as they are -officially- illegal.. However, they are not banner AFAIK, you have to use the "restricted driver manager" to install them [17:51] anyone know if the ipod touch can do 802.11x authentication yet? [17:52] so I could't upgrade, the process was blocked. 30 min ago a nice person here helped me to solve the problem. My question is what I have to do to solve the problem when I want to upgrade once again [17:53] http://peecee.dk/upload/view/97245/full Does this meen im using 475Mb ram ? [17:53] phoenixz, all I remember from that time was that I had to do something in the terminal and remove the RTL818x driver from the list. I think it was "sudo gedit blist" or something. [17:53] * JoshOvki taps fingers while headers update [17:53] The Restricted Driver Manager didn't help. [17:53] Nor, for the record, did ndiswrapper. Oddly enough. [17:54] Dunas: did you have to edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist ? [17:54] That's the file. [17:54] Dunas: it wasnt something like echo "blacklist ath_pci" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist was it? [17:54] MrJigsaw, I guess it does [17:55] ...no, not that complex. [17:55] ok [17:55] Dunas, what JoshOvki says.. [17:55] I had to open it in gedit and remove the rtl818x drive from the list. The wireless worked perfectly following that. [17:55] Dunas, I mean, Im pretty sure you're talking about that file [17:56] Dunas, you could open it using gedit yeah, but you'd have to use sudo to edit it as root user [17:56] * JoshOvki goes back into his corner and allows phoenixz to sort it out [17:56] Dunas, then you can comment out the driver using # [17:56] Right. "sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" [17:56] Dunas, yeap [17:56] I was wondering if Kubuntu had something similar, since that was the only way this crappy integrated card would work. [17:58] can anyone help me figure out why ubuntu doesnt give me the right resolution? [17:58] unagi: have you tryed to edit your xorg.conf yet? [17:58] unagi, ubuntu or kubuntu?

[18:07] i have kde 4 :D but where is the options for it and to put my plasmoids downloads that i got from kde? [18:07] alromaithi, if you're using kubuntu, you can add a KDE4 repository to install KDE4 right next to your current KDE3 to try it [18:07] !plasmoids [18:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about plasmoids - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:07] !plasma [18:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about plasma - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi === Thecks_ is now known as Thecks [18:08] alromaithi, I'd suggest google :) Im not an expert yet [18:08] thomas_newbie__, google, and maybe there is a honey channel on freenode? [18:08] alromaithi: try installing extragear-plasma p.s. this should be asked in #kubuntu-kde4 [18:08] alromaithi: join #kubuntu-kde4 for kde4 support [18:09] phoenixz: i checked and no [18:09] i googled but google queries kde-look.org plasmoids stuff but not the project phoenixz [18:09] Is there any way to play drm files in Ubuntu yet? For instance, I'm trying to use netflix to play an online movie but it says of course it needs IE and Media player. Is there a way to play that in linux? [18:10] thomas_newbie__: interesting subject honey pots. I've been using one in university for the past year. But thats on a windows 2003 server [18:10] install User Agent Switcher extension for Firefox, then tell it to pretend you're running IE7 and vista [18:10] flats, you *could* try mplayer.. if it works, let me know :) [18:11] thomas_newbie__, in that case, google.. [18:11] hi all [18:11] i dont understand why i cant have the right resolution [18:11] anyone experienced broken KDE today after installing language updates? [18:11] unagi, Using 2 monitors? [18:12] phoenixz: i have something to say which gave me a headache since i talked about Ubuntu for everybody [18:12] Level15, what is broken exactly? [18:12] phoenixz: no [18:12] alromaithi, say what? :) [18:12] phoenixz, nearly all kde apps fail to initialize. msg on console says kdecore (KLocale): WARNING: Definition of PluralForm is none of NoPlural/TwoForms/French/OneTwoRest/Russian/Polish/Slovenian/Lithuanian/Czech/Slovak/Arabic/Balcan/Macedonian/Gaeilge/Maltese: Definition of PluralForm - to be set by the translator of kdelibs.po [18:12] phoenixz: they say it sux :( because i cant prove that its good and looks glossy , the reason is beacause i dont know how to make it look glossy [18:13] this started happening after installing updates today, and is happening both on desktop and laptop [18:13] alromaithi, ah.. Well, compiz usually does the trick quite nicely.. 50% of people I've shown it actually convert within the day.. :) [18:13] alromaithi, in about 1 more month I guess, when KDE4 is ironed out (read, stable enough), KDE4 will DEFINATELY convert people.. KDE4 is like the definition for glossy I suppose [18:14] phoenixz: i can make ubuntu look glossy and cool because its easy to do such thing for gnome , but in KDE Kubuntu its very hard and complicated i get a headache i sometimes stay for 8 days in a row just wasting my time gazing on the PC trying to make it look glossy but in th eend i get pissed and go and do something crazy because of such tiring pain [18:14] Level15, that does sound like a prob. yeah.. Id recommend doing a reinstall of the kde libs with adept manager.. [18:14] phoenixz: i have compiz but now with KDE4 compiz is not supported [18:14] alromaithi you see the link i pasted in the the other channel? [18:15] phoenixz, adept doesn't start either :-P though i can do it by hand... [18:15] KDE4 should work with compiz, but it actuallyu doesnt need it, it has its own render engine [18:15] alromaithi, read the above [18:15] Level15, in that case, apt-get [18:15] alromaithi: you need to keep your kde4 questions to #kubuntu-kde4 :) [18:15] Level15, not sure if it works, but try apt-get update kde* [18:15] phoenixz, it's just kind of outrageous that the updates break the system... [18:16] Level15, it would be yeah, but Ive had a near problem these past few days too.. it was only because of cautiously checking the update list that I saw that kubuntu would remove some 20% of my software, bu accident. it was fixed in the hour.. [18:17] Level15, its a slip up I guess.. A bad one, surely [18:17] phoenixz: your saying KDE4 is better then compiz? i thought compiz is the only one with magic lamp minmize and closing sidekicks with great rain and snow with leaf aside s falling and cover tabing and etc.. [18:18] phoenixz, yeah... pretty bad one... thanks god it's KDE, not something more vital like apache, LDAP or samba [18:18] alromaithi, not saying its better.. Its built in for one, so really part of kde.. that would be better I suppose.. Worse would be that its missing many of the special effects that compiz has.. but that would be a #kubuntu-kde4 channel discussion.. [18:19] Level15, strange still that it breaks.. I mean, this one time adept would simply remove packages by accident.. but not break them [18:19] phoenixz, yeah... I'm actually surprised noone else has experienced it ... i thought I'd find a ton of people trying to fix it here on the channel [18:21] Level15, Meaning you probably did something out of the ordinary... probably.. [18:21] Level15, using any 3rd party repos? [18:21] phoenixz, in the laptop, i did install kde4 but removed it later and switched back to the official repos. On the desktop, no unofficial repos [18:22] Level15, Im using the kde4 repo as well but its from kubuntu itself, which should work ok (besides that minor delete lots of stuff problem I had, which was kde4 repo related) [18:23] i think that when 8.04 comes out i'll reinstall from scratch... maybe will give a try to ubuntu too [18:23] Why is amarok SO fucked up :S ?! [18:24] !ohmy | MrJigsaw [18:24] MrJigsaw: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [18:24] When i add number to a playlist, and plays the playlist, it just erases my collection ;S [18:24] Level15, for the time being.. try a reinstall of all kde related files [18:24] MrJigsaw, it erases files from disk? [18:24] No [18:24] phoenixz, yeah, i'm on that right now [18:24] from collection [18:26] MrJigsaw, Amarok rocks over here.. If you have a problem with it, try the #amarok channel [18:26] MrJigsaw, more chance they will help you there [18:26] oh, dident know there was a such :) [18:26] Thanks [18:27] Hello everyone!

[18:28] i guess kind of [18:28] i got the driver working but the resolution is wrong [18:28] all i want is 1440 x 900 to work [18:28] how to do this - one os on the server....has accounts..... users as clients using on diferent machings. ? [18:28] each user has seperate account and seperate client machine. (making a net cafe) === blue_ is now known as flykhmaiguy [18:29] unagi: in the modes section in you xorg.conf file in the 24bit section do you have somehthing that reads 1440x900??? [18:29] Liono: Kiosk mode might be what you are looking for === ricardo__ is now known as razhaa [18:29] MilhousePunkRock whats that do [18:30] yup [18:30] but kde won't let you set it to that?? [18:30] Liono: I don't really know... Google probably knows ;) Basically it should be possible... [18:30] kde nor nvidia-settings [18:31] unagi: what you could do is remove all other resolution entries EXCEPT 1440x900 from the 24bit field, thus forcing X to use 1440X900.... it's worth a shot [18:31] there are no other resolutions [18:31] hmmmm [18:31] how did you end up getting the driver to work?? [18:32] unagi: there is a preffered res setting you can add to xorg IIRC, dont remeber the correct syntax though [18:32] jussi01: wouldnt that require the res setting to be available in the settings already? [18:34] unagi: what solved your issue with the driver... i'm just wondering for future reference [18:34] i dont remember [18:34] i guess i just reinstalled it [18:34] did it work after i walked you through recomiling it yesterday?? [18:35] i had to go so didn't find out [18:35] i dont remember what exactly i had to do to get ubuntu to use nvidia [18:35] have you tried googling the resolution problems?? [18:35] yes [18:35] unagi: Did you try nvidia-settings already? [18:36] what am i trying in nvidia-settings [18:36] unagi: Setting the resolution, the KDE control center section for displays is a bit flaky...

[18:41] phoenixz, yeah, same stuff [18:41] tim|imac: You cant. [18:42] Level15, problem then would be.. eeh.. I'd purge everything and reinstall, with apt-get as well. [18:42] Level15: I went to an online transaltion and tried to tell negro: I apologise but spanish is not my language [18:42] MilhousePunkRock: yeah, but the Kubuntu 7.10 iso i just downloaded won't give me a live desktop in parallels :S [18:42] denis: You will need to know the sudo password after all... [18:42] genii, Oh, ok :P [18:42] I do know it [18:42] Level15, problem is, purging kde files will also purge everything above that, so you'd have to reinstall all of that.. [18:42] only one account [18:42] jeez [18:42] i don't have time for that now [18:42] but it doesn accept it [18:42] damn [18:43] denis: Does it say the password is wrong? Does it say that for all super user actions? [18:43] Level15, your situation sucks [18:43] ay, pardon my french [18:43] denis, have you testet sudo on console? [18:43] phoenixz, indeed it does [18:43] BIG TIME [18:43] sudo works [18:43] Level15, Im trying to think of another solution.. Have you tried google yet? [18:43] tim|imac: Isn't parallels some virtualising thing? I am pretty sure there are pre-made images (like there are for vmware) [18:44] Level15, Im sure the problem is small in reality, just the results a re a bit bigger [18:44] yes, it says that the password is wrong, but only in this case [18:44] why don't you upgrade with apt/aptitude? [18:44] i don't want premade images, i want my own partition scheme :P but if someone can paste me a sources.list, I can solve my problems :) [18:44] tim|imac: Just a regular sources.list? [18:44] yeah, more than enough, I'll localise it for nl myself :) [18:45] unagi: look at this link. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [18:45] Level15, You could first simulate a purge and get a list of packages that would be removed.. copy that list to a file, then purge, then install from that file.. that way you dont have to remember what packages to install [18:45] phoenixz, to be honest, I am really close to make a backup and reinstall the whole OS [18:45] Level15, This procedure would not take much longer because if you just reinstalled kde* you should have all the packages in the apt cache still.. [18:46] Level15, THAT would probably be even better :) [18:47] tim|imac: http://pastebin.ca/901514 [18:47] phoenixz, i'll give it a try your way, if it fails i'll reinstall... not necessarily kubuntu [18:47] MilhousePunkRock: thx!

[21:45] Agent_bob➜ aye [21:45] sub[t]rnl: i get that.. but where in it.. :/ ? [21:46] in your kernel boot line [21:46] do grep ^kernel /boot/grub/menu.lst [21:46] so you know what the line looks like [21:46] sub[t]rnl and i did think of shift yestergo, but "bird atmoshperic conditions" shot my modem. down until just a little while ago [21:47] Agent_bob➜ ugh [21:47] sub[t]rnl: should i do the same as when i boot normally. seperate them with '--' ?

[21:52] it still wont let me edit in menu.lst ;S [21:53] MrJigsaw also you should never use plain su use su - because it makes it the equievelant of a root login shell i.e. full root environment. sudo -i is the same as sudo su - [21:53] hi all, how can i clone my root partition? is 'cp -r -p' enough ? [21:53] nosrednaekim: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55796/ here is the output of glxinfo. [21:54] flipstar not unless they have fixed some bugs in cp cp -a --one-file-system [21:55] gundam_rx78nt1➜ thaks [21:55] flipstar i like tar better though. [21:56] Agent_bob: so 'cp -a --one-file-system' is the right option for that ? [21:56] flipstar yeah. also if it's a bite for bite clone. dd if=/dev/hda1 of=location_of_clone [21:56] theres no need for tar since it goes directly from on disc to antother :) [21:57] is that big update push that was released last night break anything? I want to know before I accept the changes... [21:57] great thx Agent_bob [21:57] flipstar np [21:57] gundam_rx78nt1➜ that looks good... [21:58] * cicero_123 meanders back into the fray after some coffee... i guess using dolphin in root to tinker around isnt a good thing... my cd rom wont respond and hdc1 has a mountpoint called that doesnt exist on the disk and the fs type is set to auto, but cant mount. how do i undo the damage? [21:58] flipstar note that hda1 is example only. can be whole disk if they are the same size or partition or what ever. [21:58] I have removed vmware-player and now installed vmware-server... Module vmnet is not loaded. Please verify that it is loaded beforerunning this script. [21:59] what's wrong? [21:59] noserednaekim: so what should I do? Remove the drivers and install them manually after I remove all config files? [21:59] cicero_123➜ change that to /media/hdc1 [21:59] yes i know that, thanks anyway Agent_bob .. btw it also copies permissions and sow ? [21:59] gundam_rx78nt1➜ no... that won;t do any good, thats as good of results you are going to be getting. [21:59] nosrednaekim: k. what is the command? [21:59] sourcemaker: the problem is with one of the files for the vmnet module. [22:00] I found the fix for it on the vmware website. [22:00] flipstar dd is bite for bite. cp -a is copy and preserve links and owner/perms [22:00] flipstar tar will preserve links and perms too [22:00] cicero_123: kdesu kate /etc/fstab [22:00] cicero_123➜ uhh where is it saying the stuff? [22:01] in kinfo [22:01] mefisto__➜ please... i'm handling him....no need giving confusing commands... [22:01] nosrednaekim: I had it working smoothly up until I updated some stuff.

[22:01] cicero_123➜ go to systemsettings->advanced->disks and partioning and change it there [22:01] what dd does that cp and tar dont do is copy free space and system inodes [22:01] @ flipstar [22:02] hm no need for that..i'll use cp -a then :) [22:02] system inodes = superblocks file allocation tables mbr's etc... [22:03] flipstar yeah cp -a --one-file-system /source /destination [22:03] guess it will also work when i chroot and update grub .. [22:03] be back later on. Got to take care of the pooch. [22:03] could somebody help me please, i get my laptop frozen randomly on kde [22:04] when i open my laptop, it shows a message saying "laptop lid is closed nothing to do" [22:04] hello,i mad a back with tar, and when i tried to restore from tar after it made a few extractions I got a message something like "extract denied" [22:04] flipstar if you plan on booting the new location you'll have to update the boot loader and the fstab [22:05] have someone had a simular problem??? [22:06] yes .. know that .. thx Agent_bob [22:06] blekos➜ did you tar it with sudo? [22:06] manuel__ lid switch issues. yes manuel__. but i don't have a fix for you.

[22:19] cicero_123➜ glad that worked [22:19] Arwen➜ sure, right click, quit, and tell it not to start again [22:19] ok [22:19] nosrednaekim: now all i have to do is figure out how to restore the cd-rom. [22:20] and that speaker icon for kmix is really ugly :-) [22:22] Barack Obama voted FOR the Patriot Act, more funding for America's aggression in Iraq, and every increased spending measure he could get his lying articulate hands on. Hmmm lets add some more contradictions and exposed lies...... In the NH debate, he called for going into Pakistan. In many speaches he has advocated going into Africa for peacekeeping. (Sounds like that would be worse than Vietnam!) [22:22] Oh yeah!!! THAT WILL REALLY HEAL AMERICA. Keep on believing it Obamatards.

That aside, transcode isn't the greatest tool. [22:25] nosrednaekim: ? [22:25] yeah... thought there was a little bot-bite about that [22:25] hola, to DivX? You want DivX Linux Edition (somewhere on divx.com) [22:25] you probably need to decode to uncompressed video using ffmpeg or something first [22:25] Anyone know how to fix socket operation fatel errors [22:26] Arwen: yes, i would like to onvert dvd into divx [22:26] you need http://labs.divx.com/DivXLinuxCodec [22:26] instructions should be on the page [22:27] hello? [22:28] hey Ryu010 [22:28] !hello [22:28] Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! [22:29] hows it going in here? [22:29] Arwen: what do you not like about transcode? what do you use instead? mencoder? [22:30] Ryu010➜ good :) [22:30] mefisto__, I use Windows for encoding because AviSynth only runs there. I dislike transcode because it's really just ffmpeg repackaged. [22:31] Arwen: so what's wrong with ffmpeg? [22:31] Arwen: thk. is it only a codec or it it a program [22:31] it's not AviSytnh [22:31] hola, it's both [22:31] mefisto__, very limited filtering [22:32] Arwen: you mean as in using filters when encoding? [22:32] yes, like deinterlacing, overlays, splices, resizing, etc [22:32] and it doesn't have AviSynth's scripting syntax [22:33] Arwen: sounds like you're quite used to avisynth [22:33] it's the only video editor I'd ever consider using [22:33] lol [22:35] * mefisto__ is transcode-ing right now [22:36] I also don't like transcode because it depends on GTK 1.2 for some reason [22:36] the message i get from tar is tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors [22:38] how do I preserve file permissions for files from /etc/skel? [22:39] did i make a mistake switching to JFS [22:39] twosouls82: how are you transferring them? Permissions should be preserved. Do you have a non-standard umask? [22:39] Arwen: sorry...have you tried it? [22:40] hola, nope. I just know that's the only DivX encoder on Linux. [22:40] Arwen: i sked you that becouse i jasted installed it but i dont knoew how to lunch the programm [22:40] crimsun: I made the files in there more secure and added some more defaults for our foundation, the /etc/skel has been copied by using systemsettings [22:41] try typing "divx --help" into a console [22:41] and I haven't changed the umask [22:41] Arwen: i tried but it does not exist [22:41] one sec [22:42] twosouls82: I don't know systemsettings well (or very much at all); check its implementation. [22:45] even when I use "sudo useradd --create-home " the file ownerships of the files from /etc/skel are not preserved [22:46] hola, oh, I see. You have to write the encoder yourself >_> [22:46] seems logical to me btw [22:46] lame, ah well... [22:46] but there must be a way to preserve it for specific files [22:47] twosouls82➜ if they were preserved, then you'd never own anything in your home DIR [22:47] since root is who copies them. [22:47] hola, probably this is beyond your skill (it's beyond mine at least). Maybe I could interest you in XviD instead? [22:48] nosrednaekim: that's why I said "seems logical to me btw" =) [22:48] Arwen: which are the differences [22:48] nosrednaekim: do you know how to preserve it for specific files? [22:49] twosouls82➜ nooo..... thats just slightly to hard-core for me :) [22:49] hola, not much. XviD is a bit higher quality. [22:49] for me to, for now :) [22:49] too* [22:51] twosouls82, write a script...? [22:53] wow KDE4 sucks [22:53] what's kde4 like? [22:54] it's like.. nothing else really.. the desktop is bloated [22:54] less control than gnome even [22:54] Arwen: ok....tell me so [22:54] kwin is much worse than compiz [22:54] is there any 4.0.1 live cds yet? [22:54] what are desktop effects like? [22:54] the menu is just plain annoying [22:54] copacetic: I was thinking of that, and I am investigating where to refer to (execute) it.. in such a way that useradd and other applications that add users user it too [22:55] giovanni_home: desktop effects are so-so.. compiz for kde3 is much better [22:55] ChaosMachine: dunno.. but you can install kde4 alongside [22:56] mah... it's a work in progress... I'll wait the next kubuntu version [22:56] I'm comfortable with kde 3 right now [22:56] giovanni_home: it's work in progress yes, but since when is a full release rather some kind of a release candidate alpha alpha? [22:56] rehello room. :) where is the dvd-cd burner supposed to be mounted? [22:57] it's like: let's call it the final release.. maybe people will try it! [22:57] yereth➜ yes,you can change the menu [22:57] hi. I hope I'm not unwelcome as an Ubuntu user with a non-GNOME-specific problem. [22:57] cicero_123➜ well, burners are not mounted [22:57] yereth: they chose to release a final version so as to have more (beta)-tester [22:57] hola, apt-get install mencoder + this guide (http://f0rked.com/projects/simplerip). It's crude, but about as good as you'll get. [22:57] nosrednaekim: well, I tried to change a bunch of stuff, but I got a black screen [22:57] cellofellow➜ depends on the problem [22:58] nosrednaekim: how do i active it? [22:58] giovanni_home: I know, but really, on the website they pretended it was amazing.. not even close [22:58] but you are not forced to use it :) yereth [22:58] I know, I'm just worried for the future of KDE [22:58] I am trying to get myswl working and am getting this error: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [22:58] getting another gnome, but worse [22:58] nosrednaekim: I have some MP3 files that I've ripped and now I cannot tag them so my MP3 player can read the tags. It's rather picky about them for some reason. I've tried EasyTag and id3tag. None work. What's a better way? [22:59] It'd be nice if the tagger supports images. [22:59] don't worry... it's gonna be better === gsf_ is now known as guizolla [22:59] cellofellow➜ no idea... [22:59] hope so [22:59] first, let the digikam fix the rotation of images in the viewer :P [22:59] yereth➜ underneath, it is an amazing improvement [22:59] digikam team* [22:59] This players' one of those designed for Windows Media Player, so I blame M$ for my problems. [23:00] however we should admin than windows vista is ahead as far as desktop effects are concerned [23:00] nosrednaekim: I'm sure.. what was the gui thing called again? something like QT [23:00] we should admit, sorry [23:00] giovanni_home: ow come on, Vista is bloated and ugly [23:00] ahah :) [23:00] * cellofellow agrees [23:00] OSX rules all [23:00] yereth➜ yeah, they switched to qt4 form qt3 [23:00] right [23:00] Arwen: thaks ciao [23:00] that was it [23:00] * Arwen thinks desktop effects are silly [23:00] * cicero_123 pipes up--> bloated, ugly, and slowwwwww [23:01] Arwen: Apple invented *useful* desktop effects [23:01] but they have desktop effects since a year ago... we have kde4 now, in beta state [23:01] such as getting an all window overview [23:01] yereth, no such thing [23:01] hi ;) [23:01] OSX is not the right choice... it depends to closely on microsoftoz [23:01] anything they've done with shiny 3d accel could be done in 2d too [23:01] Need help with service menu menu [23:01] Arwen: get back to your console.. hit ctrl-alt-f1 I dare you and do everything from there :P [23:02] I am... lol [23:02] irssi in a screen [23:02] Arwen: I use irssi in a screen as well [23:02] Arwen: but also desktop apps [23:02] no, but really, 3d acceleration is a bad idea at this point seeing as many chips (ATI!) are very unstable with 3d [23:02] Ey guys, how do i run a .deb file on my desktop? [23:03] miladen, dpkg -i blah.deb [23:03] miladen➜ right click and tell it to install with gdebi [23:03] Arwen: you mean drivers suck? [23:03] yeah [23:03] miladen: deb file are meant to be installed, not executed [23:03] a lot [23:03] Arwen: buy nvidia :) [23:03] zzz, still proprietary [23:03] and Intel = no games at all [23:03] but much better [23:03] I make 3D graphics in a shell. [23:03] :-P, nothing like directfb [23:03] join #freaks [23:04] what's that shit of directfb copacetic [23:04] No, I make it in Vi. [23:05] I make movies in emacs though. [23:05] I cook with emacs [23:05] lol [23:05] I cook emacs [23:05] and watch porno movies [23:05] emacs is very versatile. [23:05] but no one wants to eat it [23:05] is there an easy command telling it to install all needed packages or do i have to list them myself? [23:06] emacs > notepad [23:06] ;) [23:06] sudo apt-get install * [23:06] lol [23:06] don't do that, miladen [23:06] System menu menu, not service menu menu ;) [23:06] mm [23:06] I'm not using emacs recently... I've switched to kate... and I use vi in console because is the fastest editor [23:06] mary-kate? [23:06] kate is sexy [23:06] yereth what then? [23:06] I think installing the "emacs" package is equivilent to apt-get install * [23:07] miladen: needed packages for what? [23:07] Haha @ hydrogen === jerry_ is now known as jlr4u [23:07] how do i get my dvd/cd burner-player to play cd's? [23:07] i wanna install an app that requires 6 other packages ex. === profoX_ is now known as profoX` [23:07] cicero_123: insert them first [23:07] how do i get it to install all of them? [23:07] stuff like sun-java.jre [23:07] hi, how can i install the nvidia drivers? everytime i run nvidia-xconfig i get a module nvidia not found error. i have nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel [23:07] cicero_123, Put in a CD and fireup xmms. [23:07] stevarino: try envy [23:07] miladen: just do apt-get install and it auto installs the rest [23:08] no it doesnt yereth [23:08] miladen: ah.. you can use automatix2 for stuff like java.. google for automatix [23:08] yes. i have. when i first installed linux (about 4 days now) i was fiddling around in root with dolphin, (which i now know is not a good thing) and now it doesnt play. [23:08] err [23:08] using automatix [23:08] will eat your babies [23:08] lol [23:08] miladen: do apt-cache search , then install the packages you want with sudo apt-get install [23:08] and kill your herds of cattle [23:08] hydrogen: you have a better suggeston? [23:08] cicero_123, What does it do? [23:08] and probably destroy your crops [23:09] install java..? [23:09] Does it give an error message? [23:09] Volume? [23:09] What? [23:09] moreover automatix rapes your sister [23:09] o_o [23:09] giovanni_home: thanks, i thought envy was abandoned and unsafe, but it looks like i was wrong :) [23:09] what's directfb anyway? [23:09] direct frame buffer [23:10] anyone using it? [23:10] yereth: it's a useless piece of software [23:10] giovanni_home: sounds good [23:10] ahaha [23:10] yereth, To be honest, I don't even think the developers use it. [23:10] copacetic: the kde daemon comes up and asks what i want to do. open window, copy cd, or do nothing. if i type open window i get a permission denied [23:10] copacetic: so it's just for the nurd's enjoyment, lacking social life..? [23:11] hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000? [23:11] yeah. sometimes if i try to open it in dolphin [23:11] cicero_123, Learn how to use a console and sudo then. :D [23:11] dolphin sucks [23:11] dolphin is good [23:11] simpler than konqueroz [23:11] Walrus > Dolphin [23:12] whale > walrus [23:12] giovanni_home: do i need to install something to use deb's? ark is throwing errors at me [23:12] pwnt [23:12] i am learning. this is my 5th day with linux/kubunt [23:12] ;) [23:12] u [23:12] konqueroz is getting bad... it doesn't open correctly a lot of websites [23:12] stevarino: use "ar" [23:12] stevarino, sudo dpkg -i blahblah.deb [23:12] stevarino: to use what? [23:12] :) [23:12] giovanni_home: ... dolphin is not a web browser..? [23:13] :) [23:13] i am learning what not to do. i need to re-enale the dvd/cd burner/player [23:13] does dolphin fish? [23:13] giovanni_home: oh, i d/l the deb for envy, but ark is trying to open it by default and is failing wonderfully [23:13] They fly-fish :D [23:13] dolphin doesn't have a delete option in the context menu... [23:13] I meant that konqueror isn't even good as browser anymore [23:13] stevarino, NO ENVY [23:13] giovanni_home: even? it's still a great everything-browser [23:13] stevarino: dpkg --force-all-and-more -i envy*deb [23:13] Arwen: ? is there another method for nvidia? [23:14] !nvidia [23:14] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:14] yes, there is [23:14] it's called "installing it" [23:14] fish works on dolphin [23:14] you can just install nvidia-glx [23:14] nareshov: good [23:14] nvidia is trash. [23:14] is there a cosole command that will undo the damage that i did in root with dolphin and remount--reënable or whatever it needs to do to work again? [23:15] ugh.. dolphin doesn't show a location-toolbar by default.. smells like gnome [23:15] yereth➜ you can get it back :) [23:15] cicero_123, Just hit the undo key on your keyboard. [23:15] :/ [23:15] nosrednaekim: I know, I just don't like where it's heading [23:16] cicero_123, This isn't paint or word processor. If you mess something up while using root you can't just undo it. :D [23:16] it has no tree view... [23:16] yereth➜ I understand, and I don'treally like dolphin either. [23:16] You can fix it, but you can't undo it. [23:16] lol [23:16] Arwen➜ yeah, it does [23:16] "the process for fish://... protocol died unexpectedly [23:16] " [23:16] where? [23:16] nosrednaekim: back to konqueror :P [23:16] http://pastebin.com/m25181e43 need help is setting a net cafe [23:16] Arwen: heh thanks [23:16] i remember envy leaving a bad taste in my mouth last time [23:16] speaking of... === stevarino is now known as stevarino_brb|fo === stevarino_brb|fo is now known as stevarino_food [23:17] yereth: dolphin is for people who like simple things [23:17] ya [23:17] giovanni_home: install gnome then :P [23:17] yereth: it's ugly for me [23:17] Pfft, konqueror is for wimps. [23:17] Real men use Lynx. [23:17] nosrednaekim, where? [23:17] copacetic elinks [23:18] copacetic: does lynx brows my filesystem? [23:18] Yes. [23:18] browse* [23:18] real men don't even use the computers, they surf the internet speaking on the phone like a modem [23:18] im going to kill amarok if it currupts my wma's again [23:18] * hydrogen likes dolphin [23:18] wma? [23:18] copacetic: real man cut wood and hunt deers.. so stfu :) [23:18] why? [23:18] Hahahahah @ giovanni_home [23:18] real men don't hang out in irc chat [23:18] ahah [23:18] I think is what yereth is saying [23:19] Real men know deers isn't a word >_> [23:19] just because arwen [23:19] :P [23:19] real men have penises [23:19] pwnt [23:19] and with that, I'm going to get dinner [23:19] I'm dutch.. shoot me :) [23:19] copacetic: i know. that is why i am thinking of reinstalling kubuntu. [23:20] How can I make a link to my home folder and other devices on my desktop without the little arrow thingy that represents links? [23:20] You should know, you're a unix geek. :D [23:20] so a question for the 'pussies': where can I find cool widgets? [23:20] hydrogen: you eat with your penis? [23:21] or directly from .... [23:21] nm [23:21] sigh. real men use a magnetized needle and a steady hand. http://xkcd.com/378/ [23:21] copacetic: i really like kubuntu. it is a whole lot better than win2k and makes more sense than vista. but i was goofing around when i first installed it, and think i can fix the damage that i did in root. i just need to get the burner/player to be enabled and mounted or whatever its setting should be instead of to nowhere. [23:21] copacetic: I've been using GNOME a lot; I've only been really messing around with KDE recently and I'm liking it. I'm looking for some gconf-edit like thing that lets me put device icons on the desktop [23:22] mount /media/cdrom [23:22] so where do I find cool screenlets? [23:22] w berlusconi [23:22] yereth, from the screenlets website. They have a few goodies. kde-look.org may have some too [23:22] is there a way to get kde to automount removabke storage media? [23:23] Arwen: should be so out of the box [23:23] theunixgeek: Right click on the open desktop -> configure desktop -> behavior -> device icons tab [23:23] NickPresta: cheers [23:23] keen. cdrom even if it is also a dvd and cd burner? [23:23] giovanni_home, pops a stupid dialog actually === hydrogen is now known as HYDROGONE [23:24] yes... is that that boring? :) just choose mount [23:24] not acceptable when using a fullscreen konsole [23:24] oloughlin75, he already left :D [23:24] wooo amarok didnt currupt the files! it only took it 5 mins to change track info on a cd [23:24] lol [23:25] oloughlin75: try s-vista [23:25] I'm trying to decide what I like better, bitchx or irssi. [23:25] amarok rules [23:25] best music player ever [23:25] I think irssi is taking the lead. [23:25] s-vista? [23:25] yeah1! [23:25] and Im back [23:25] yereth➜ queue a "amarok 2 sucks" report ;) [23:25] oloughlin75: vista [23:26] nosrednaekim: does it? [23:26] yereth, I'm old school. I think xmms or audacious is the best. [23:26] copacetic: noooooo [23:26] giovanni_home: I still use it quite a bit :) [23:26] yereth➜ its more like WMP [23:26] is there an amarok 2 in repos? [23:26] uglier? [23:26] nosrednaekim: :( I'll stick with kde3 [23:26] xmms is gtk0.3 [23:26] yeah, and Im back with a big problem, but I will share it tomorrow [23:27] True, but amarok is...blah [23:27] so be ready [23:27] It's too big and windows-like. [23:27] I remember there was this advanced theme manager for kde3 [23:27] mefisto__➜ don't think so... [23:27] any idea what it's called? [23:27] oloughlin75: I sometimes use vista... and often get BSOD [23:27] yereth➜ theme manager? [23:27] so DTV in the US is going to force thousands of people to buy new hardware or loose all telivision service. bend ofer america. again! [23:27] iv never had a BSOD in it [23:27] nosrednaekim: I think not [23:27] linux is mor eproblematic -- err easier to break [23:27] Kubuntu and Ubuntu are, like, so far apart from each other.... [23:28] theunixgeek, Not really. [23:28] yereth➜ I mean... whats a theme manager? besides the one in kcontrol/systemsetting? [23:28] just the looks [23:28] copacetic: try vlc [23:28] copacetic: keen. i now have a dvd icon on my desktop, but instead of playing when i double click it it opens in dolphin. [23:28] vlc is ok for a movie player. [23:28] Not so much for a music player. [23:28] intelikey, you know what? upgrades happen, so... [23:28] copacetic: well, Kubuntu couldn't really be renamed to Ubuntu KDE Edition because of all the different apps in them. [23:28] nosrednaekim: yes something different.. I'm kind of looking for a nicer desktop for kde3 [23:28] cicero_123: open vlc for that sort of things [23:28] k [23:28] cicero_123: don't click on the icon [23:28] cicero_123, right click -> open with [23:28] Arwen do i get kissed too ? [23:28] yereth➜ try out the Domino theme [23:29] woah -- it looks like i cant use xmms for more than a playlist [23:29] yeah XMMS is pretty functionless [23:29] Exaile is nice (if gtk) [23:29] How is it functionless? [23:29] just playlists.. [23:29] kubuntu has fix for local root exploit? [23:29] nosrednaekim: what's that? [23:29] Just because it doesn't have album pictures, popups all over, and is low on resources? [23:29] my multimedia choices appear to be amarok, k3b, kaffeine, or kmix [23:29] kmix?! [23:30] yereth➜ a MAC os X looking theme [23:30] I lost my knetworkmanager and it does nothing when I try to open it. If you google "knetworkmanager does nothing" there are a lot of other folks with the same problem. [23:30] How can i edit in grub's menu.lst ? [23:30] copacetic➜ hey.. I didn't say it wasn't nice for its purposes, but it can NOT compare to amarok in features [23:30] nosrednaekim: sounds nice [23:30] copacetic: use it to manage more than 100 songs and youll see what i was saying [23:30] When i open it en kate it says access denied.. [23:30] copacetic: don't use xmms... we must abandon old gtk1.2 apps [23:30] open it ind* [23:30] In "useless" features. :D [23:30] MrJigsaw: sudo kate /file/ [23:31] MrJigsaw➜ "kdesudo kate /boot/grub/menu.lst" [23:31] nosrednaekim: you have a link? [23:31] MrJigsaw: no, don't use sudo [23:31] oloughlin75➜ please use kdesudo with graphical apps [23:31] I've always had trouble getting radio stations to play in Amarok too. [23:31] Which works fine in xmms. [23:31] :/ still learning. Is there a specific reason? [23:31] What then mefisto__? [23:31] Arwen "you know what? upgrades happen, so..." only to people stupid enough to buy the new junk. which is not one bit better than the old junk. which was worth $0 then and even less now. but i'm OT so i'll stop now. [23:31] see nosrednaekim's instructions [23:32] !kdesudo | oloughlin75 [23:32] oloughlin75: In KDE, use « kdesudo » (Gutsy) or « kdesu » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [23:32] Nonsense, I use sudo all the time. [23:32] what is the default dvd player? [23:32] Not for running programs though... [23:32] copacetic: follow that link. it's not nonsense [23:32] cicero_123➜ kaffiene [23:32] cicero_123, kaffeiene [23:33] xine or vlc - best for playing videos [23:33] yereth➜ http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=42804 [23:33] ubuntu: if you're typing in a console you can use sudo with graphical apps... [23:33] thanx. :) everything works now, and i can be free of ms [23:33] ubotu: if you're typing in a console you can use sudo with graphical apps... [23:33] yereth➜ you can probably find a deb somewhere as well [23:33] giovanni_home: ubuto is a bot [23:33] stop typing, I'm trying to select a line [23:33] ahah [23:34] type type [23:34] it's just said me it's not intelligent [23:34] 5th day of linux/kubuntu. thanx all. :) have a good day. [23:34] :P [23:34] cicero_123➜ cheers! [23:34] yereth➜ lol [23:34] * Arwen has no desire to be "freed of ms" [23:34] giovanni_home you should not use sudo with graphical apps. [23:34] why intelikey [23:34] nosrednaekim: configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check [23:35] I never use to like MS, but now I despise them after what they did with OLPC. [23:35] yereth➜ like I said.... find a deb ;) [23:35] eheheh [23:35] giovanni_home cause it's not made for them. if you want to be in here asking us how to streighten out what it messes up, then go ahead. [23:35] nosrednaekim: ugh.. i386 [23:35] intelikey: kdesu is slower [23:36] gmail looks so fugly in konquerer [23:36] Why would you use sudo to run a graphical app in the first place? [23:36] oloughlin75➜ well, congrats on getting it to work in the first place [23:36] intelikey: I've been using sudo in console for years without problems [23:36] giovanni_home so use what ever you want. but don't come crying to me that you can no longer login as user or that blah wont run anymore. [23:36] intelikey: don't worry about that [23:37] console != X-apps [23:37] intelikey: I mean graphical apps in console [23:37] giovanni_home: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo explains [23:37] curses? [23:37] nosrednaekim: oops.. forgot build-essentials [23:37] that site says you cant sudo kate, but you can [23:38] nosrednaekim: didn't compile stuff for a while [23:38] guys [23:38] I got a question for the next time I mess up xorg... how do you delete it/rename it? It always warns me about token xorg and conf or something and rename doesnt work [23:38] why is konqeuror displaying some of the fonts incomplete? [23:39] Because konqueror is terrible. [23:39] oloughlin75- sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [23:39] sudo kate works for me [23:39] other then that copacetic? [23:39] giovanni_home: wowowowow [23:39] giovanni_home: kdesu no sudo [23:39] giovanni_home: never use sudo for graphical applications [23:39] rename doesnt work? [23:39] Or cp instead of mv if you want to make a copy [23:39] !worksforme | giovanni_home [23:39] giovanni_home: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [23:39] yeah [23:39] oloughlin75- the shell command to rename a file is mv [23:39] do not mv xorg.conf [23:39] oo [23:40] giovanni_home: always use kdesu [23:40] That's stupid. [23:40] lol [23:40] hey guys... you're bothering me... I understood, but I'll keep using sudo... kdesu is slower [23:40] giovanni_home: alright then, dont say we didnt warn you [23:40] copacetic- well, the assumption is that you would then replace it with another xorg.conf file [23:40] copacetic: for the next time i mess up xorg and cant figure out how to delete the bad one and rename the backup [23:40] come on guys [23:40] no need to kill him for that stupid line : [23:40] :P [23:40] moreover don't tell others to use it. === Angelus is now known as _Angelus_ [23:41] "checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X libraries.

[23:43] copacetic 6.6 is LTS still supported offically [23:43] copacetic➜ what? its still officially supported [23:43] So? [23:43] so, its perfectly ok for him to still be using it, and we will support it for another year at least [23:43] copacetic so you show your iq by laughing at someone for using it. that what. [23:43] :( i just d/l what the server gave me [23:44] How does that show my IQ? [23:44] besides dell laptops, anyone else know of any cheap models that work flawlessly out of box from say Lenovo, HP, Acer for an example? [23:44] hallo [23:44] dsmith_➜ acer 5050 works great here. [23:44] nosrednaekim: build-dep needs a package [23:44] nothing works out of the box dsmith_ [23:44] :) [23:44] yereth➜ oh.... it needs a source deb? [23:44] ok,.. [23:44] I'm laughing because it's old. Doesn't matter if it's "officially supported." It's still old.

[23:46] You can install linux on a Compaq Armada. [23:46] R61a? [23:46] You could probably find one for $10. [23:46] lol I am talking new [23:46] stevarino➜ what would? [23:46] dsmith_ most older hardware is supported. [23:46] I have installed on a few laptops already [23:47] I have Kubuntu 7.06 and want to upgrade to 7.10 but it always makes me problems [23:47] intelikey: I know.. :) [23:47] dsmith_: I have a Gateway MT3422 and the only thing that didnt work OTB was the sound [23:47] denis: BACKUP, then upgrade [23:47] dsmith_➜ well, then go intel, best advice I can give for low-end stuff. [23:47] rookie, me [23:47] it'll get you away from broadcom, etc [23:47] oloughlin75: thats the problem I have with a panasonic CF-51 [23:47] dsmith_: Never get an ATI card in it! [23:47] there is nothing to backup [23:47] ati, never [23:48] broadcom, never [23:48] it's all-new [23:48] nvidia isn't better [23:48] is so :P [23:48] denis, If you're having upgrade problems, just download the newest iso, burn and re-install. [23:48] dsmith_: Did you try the lastest alsa drivers? My sound needs them, and kubuntu hasnt upgraded them yet [23:48] no, I don think so, but I have another problem, as I already mentionend [23:48] oloughlin75: I dont remember [23:49] I did download the newest iso [23:49] quite a bitch to compile a package [23:49] Then why are you trying to upgrade? [23:49] it said it would be DVD of 7.10 [23:49] so many dependencies [23:49] copacetic: you beat me to saying that :) [23:49] how do I see the version of my system? [23:49] yereth: Just takes a few minutes :/ [23:49] denis: uname -a [23:49] and i had to install some random package else i got an error [23:49] because the newest iso is old, that is to say there are updates for most of the packages on it. [23:49] thanks [23:49] erm.. [23:50] that's the kernel :) [23:50] ?

[23:50] or is it dash in place of underscore [23:50] Not app/security updates. [23:50] those are called dependencies [23:51] 7.10 [23:51] isn't that the newest? [23:51] yes [23:51] yeah that's latest. and there are losts of updates for it. [23:51] we're pretty close to 8.04 iirc [23:51] yes, aroun 154 [23:51] d [23:51] lots of lost updated, :P [23:51] so why does it say there is an upgrade? [23:52] btw: I have problems with apt-get update after updating [23:52] it was released a few months ago [23:52] bug in the upgrade notifier ? [23:52] yup [23:52] biovore: what happened to MD LUG?

[23:52] is there a command to upgrade everything to 7.10, cuz this really sucks [23:53] i had the same problem after updates [23:53] i thought apt-get dist-upgrade would do the trick... [23:53] biovore that's yet another argument against running the latest rather than the LTS but i need not go there. [23:53] dsmith_: Capitol College in Laurel Maryland 6:00 -> 9 ish (nea Powder mill road and parkway [23:53] stevarino, sudo gksu "update-manager -c" [23:53] biovore: too far [23:53] Hrm, that must be an ubuntu only app [23:54] kdesu -> gksu [23:54] Disregard my comment. [23:54] Ah [23:54] when I enter sudo dpkg --configure -a, it asks me to either keep the old files or take the new ones. Whast do I haave to do? [23:54] gksudo and kdesudo are also avalable [23:55] copacetic: thanks.. i'm burning the dvd of 7.1 now (yes, i had a 6.06 cd iso and a 7.10 dvd iso, i have no clue why either) [23:55] denis if everything is working keep the old ones [23:55] ok [23:55] hhrmm.. too much whiskeyt [23:56] I always keep the old ones.
