miladenHey bobbob00:56
prince_jammysmiladen: i would say about the same, since you get busted when you serve files on the web or peer to peer. OS doesnt matter00:56
bobbobok i got a network with xp and ubuntu xp can see ubuntu but ubuntu wont show xp?00:56
NickPrestamiladen, if they have your IP address and logs of you downloading illegal files, your OS doesn't matter much.00:56

ubotuDolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin.01:31
ebentonthere were local updates too so that may have caused some problems01:31
nosredna_ekimoloughlin75 » you could probably go back to the other kernel...01:31
oloughlin75how do I do that?01:32
nosredna_ekimoloughlin75 » try running " sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.22-7-generic"01:34
squarebottleHey, does anybody know off the top of their head the command (is it debconf or something?) to autodetect and setup monitors and stuff?01:35
squarebottleOr is there an even easier way to enable a second monitor if I plug one into my laptop?01:37
Xavier_Zsquarebottle: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg01:37
hdevalenceew01:37
hdevalencethere's no other way?01:37
claydohsquarebottle: what video card? nvida has a tool that helps  a lot in the dual monitor area01:37
Xavier_Zsquarebottle: gksudo nvidia-settings01:38
squarebottleIt's a nvidia card, yeah.01:38
squarebottleXavier_Z: You mean, kdesu? Or would I still use gksudo?01:38
claydohbut the commandline setup is imo the best way to set up the basics01:38
Xavier_Zsquarebottle: kdesu01:38
oloughlin75nosred: no old kernals are listed in adept01:38
Xavier_Zsorry01:38
Xavier_Zsquarebottle: that's assuming you have nvidia-glx installed01:39
tzangergood evening. How would i tell apt to get and forcibly reinstall kopete?  I already have it, but I'd like to replace all th ebinaries with the ones in the package01:39
hdevalencetzanger: do you want to purge config?01:39
claydohyou can reinstall a package in Adept01:39
Xavier_Ztzanger: sudo aptitude reinstall kopete01:39
oloughlin75tzanger:  in adept, there is a reinstall option01:39
tzangerhmm okay01:39
Xavier_Ztzanger: to purge: sudo aptitude purge kopete && sudo aptitude install kopete01:40
tzangerkopete keeps crashing out when msn connects, icq and jabber are fine01:40
squarebottleSo in order of easiness since I'm actually going to be passing this on to somebody else... a run dialog and kdesue nvidia-settings is probably easiest, and sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg would be all commandline? Yes?01:40
hdevalencetzanger:01:40
hdevalenceerr01:40
Xavier_Ztzanger: to clearn apt-download files: sudo aptitude clean01:40
Xavier_Z*clean01:40
squarebottlekdesu*01:40
hdevalencetzanger: wait01:40
hdevalenceI had a similar problem01:40
claydohsquarebottle: yes, assuming you have the nvidia restricted drivers installed, nvidia-settings is the tool01:41
Xavier_Zsquarebottle: yeah01:41
sparr_I need a static linux binary of any program that can write EXIF tags to JPEG images.  exiv2 is my first choice, but I am open to anything.  Where might I find such a thing?01:41
tzangerhdevalence: you did?01:41
hdevalencetry doing a full updgrade in adept or "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" and then resart kopete01:41
hdevalencemine was something about SSL not working01:41

hdevalencetzanger: ick01:42
tzangerdebsums seems to think that everything is fine, but I am not sure why it's crashing :-(01:42
claydohsparr_: why a statc binary01:42
JavaBeansHi all01:43
sparr_claydoh: to be run on a machine with old/missing libraries01:43
hdevalencetzanger: if you do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and see the list of packages it wants to dl, see if there is a crypto one in there01:43
stevarinohi all, does anyone in here use any bluetooth a2dp devices with linux?01:43
hipoploiafter i install nvidia restricted driver all i get is a blank screen after the second restart of the comp......any idea whats causing it ....nvidia 400mx 64mb card01:43
Xavier_Zhipoploi: did you change the driver line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf?01:44
claydohsparr_: dunno, you prob have to compilw it that way yourself. What old distro?01:44
Xavier_Zhipoploi: change "nv" to "nvidia" if you have not01:44
sparr_claydoh: no idea01:44
tzangerhdevalence: I don't see anything sticking out as looking like crypto01:44
hipoploiXavier_Z: what do u mean?01:44
hdevalencetzanger: oh well :(01:45
hdevalencemight not be the same prob anyways01:45
Xavier_Zhipoploi: open xorg.conf: kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf01:45
tzangerhdevalence: yeah I'd thought that too, but thanks for the assistance :-)01:45
claydohsparr_: I wonder if picassa would do that. It is static iirc01:45
JavaBeansAlso don't forget to set your monitor driver01:45
Picachoowine wont allow sounds if i install a windows game by it?01:45
Xavier_Zhipoploi: find line Driver "nv" and change "nv" to "nvidia"01:45
sparr_claydoh: im really trying to avoid "image editors", they tend to muck up other things when manipulating the metadata01:46
JavaBeansElse you will not have many resolutions, the xorg.config is where you need to go to edit if your monitor is not in the standard set of drivers supported by Kubuntu01:46
tzangerhdevalence: it's crapping out trying to print a contact property apparently01:46
