| jussi01 | shockhead: cant right now, as I am on hardy | 17:02 |
| shockhead | but even if it works in hardy, just wondering.... | 17:03 |
| firecrotch | I want to try a fresh install of hardy (currently running gutsy) but I have no way to burn the ISO image to a CD, does anyone have any suggestions? | 17:03 |
| shockhead | jussi01: i'm pretty sure that xembed isn't in konq yet....? so r115 wouldn't work with either... that's waht i read anyway. | 17:03 |
| jussi01 | shockhead: apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree returns: Installed: 9.0.115.0ubuntu4 | 17:03 |

| Shrek | jussi01: I may do that. is it always the manufacturer who makes the driver, or are there third parties who make drivers for linux? | 17:07 |
| ubuntu | hello | 17:07 |
| firecrotch | Shrek: Some manufacturers make drivers, but a lot are made by third parties | 17:08 |
| jussi01 | Shrek: Sometimes it is 3rd parties, if the specs are public or someone reverse engineers it. However, best to talk to the manufacturer ang get them aware that linux is a good idea | 17:08 |
| Shrek | then I wonder if there is someone I could contact and ask if they would make a driver | 17:09 |

| ubuntu | hi all.... i m getting a grub error 15 file not found.. can anybody please help? | 17:11 |
| shockhead | jussi01: could the konq error be because I'm using the kde4 ppa? i think i'm getting konqueror 3.5.8 from that... which might not have the patch... | 17:12 |
| mefisto__ | ubuntu: newly installed? or did you change something? | 17:12 |
| jussi01 | shockhead: just thought of something, I know why mine works... I grabbed a deb off the forums.. | 17:12 |
| firecrotch | ubuntu: do you have a live CD or another way to access the contents of the hard drive? | 17:12 |
| ubuntu | mefisto__: i think i updated a newly installed version of kubuntu 64 | 17:12 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: i am on a live CD | 17:12 |
| shockhead | jussi01: ooh... do you have a link? | 17:12 |
| jussi01 | shockhead: 1 moment | 17:13 |
| ubuntu | i got the error after installing JRE | 17:13 |

| slow-motion | hi | 17:14 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: ok i ll try to... actually i m quite new to Linux on the whole | 17:14 |
| jussi01 | shockhead: I assume you are on 32bit? | 17:15 |
| shockhead | jussi01: yeah | 17:15 |
| firecrotch | ubuntu: you should be able to access the hard drive via the System Menu (it's the computer icon on the bottom panel) | 17:16 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: i tried to get to it thru the thru the konsole and then vi but it seems to be an emtpy file | 17:17 |
| mefisto__ | ubuntu: are you on livecd? | 17:17 |
| firecrotch | ubuntu: you're probably looking at the one for the live environment, which doesn't exist | 17:17 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: yes... | 17:18 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: i m also panicking | 17:18 |
| ubuntu | mefisto__: yes i m on live cd... | 17:18 |
| firecrotch | ubuntu: there's no need to panic, it's most likely a simple issue | 17:18 |
| mefisto__ | ubuntu: it'll be fine, relax | 17:18 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: i m glad u say that | 17:19 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy All : ) | 17:19 |
| firecrotch | ubuntu: all that error means is that it's trying to load the linux kernel, but it's not where it expects it to be | 17:19 |
| firecrotch | Howdy, BluesKaj | 17:19 |
| jussi01 | shockhead: I cant find it now, it may have disappeared as the fix was released. but there are still lots of issues on the forums with some fixes attached - search with flashplugin-nonfree | 17:19 |

| pharaon | how could i install a codec for mp3 and movies ? | 17:20 |
| Shrek | jussi01: and firecrotchI think I am going to contact Robter Krawitz from gutenprint and see if perhaps gutenprint would be interested in developing a driver | 17:20 |
| shockhead | jussi01: thanks, will do | 17:20 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: i tried loading the grub menu n then e to edit the line which said (hd0,0) | 17:20 |
| jussi01 | Shrek: nice | 17:20 |
| mefisto__ | ubuntu: you need to mount your linux partition in the livecd session so you can get to your menu.lst on the hard disk | 17:21 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: mefisto__ i also looked in the system folders - root/boot/ but there is no folder called grub in it | 17:21 |
| BluesKaj | pharaon, install libdvdcss2,libxine1-ffmpeg, w32codecs and kubuntu-restricted-extras | 17:21 |
| ubuntu | mefisto__: but how do i that | 17:21 |
| samuel16 | Hello everybody | 17:21 |
| pharaon | BluesKaj: thanks .. i try | 17:22 |
| samuel16 | I have a problem with python-pygame | 17:22 |
| BluesKaj | !multimedia | pharaon | 17:22 |
| ubotu | pharaon: Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications | 17:22 |
| pharaon | i have kubuntu 7.10 | 17:23 |
| pharaon | and he dont install aotomatic | 17:23 |
| samuel16 | Because I have installed it froms source | 17:23 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: mefisto__ i saw on the ubuntu forum where they said shifting back to hd(0,0) from hd(1,0) fixed their proble,, but for me its only one single hard disk | 17:23 |
| firecrotch | ubuntu: If you open the System Menu and go to Storage Media, your hard drive should show up there | 17:23 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: it does but there is no folder called grub inside the folder boot | 17:23 |
| samuel16 | I mean from source because freevo won´t run with the deb package of python-pygame | 17:24 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: unless i m looking at the folder structure of the live cd ? | 17:24 |
| samuel16 | And now I want to install freevo but dependency python-pygame must be installed | 17:24 |
| firecrotch | ubuntu: I think you're looking at the live CD | 17:24 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: i feel the same | 17:24 |
| mefisto__ | firecrotch: does livecd mount linux partitions automatically? | 17:25 |
| samuel16 | But if I install python-pygame it gives me back error 1 | 17:25 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: i can see my hard disk but when i double click it, its nothing inside | 17:25 |
| samuel16 | How can I install freevo without to install python-pygame? | 17:25 |
| samuel16 | from source? | 17:25 |
| firecrotch | mefisto__: Now that I think about it, I'm not sure... | 17:25 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: mefisto__ the hard disk when double clicked shows sda1 | 17:26 |
| firecrotch | Well that answers that... it's mounted. | 17:26 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: but it doesnt show anything inside | 17:27 |
| BluesKaj | pharaon, do you know how to use the adept pkg installer ? | 17:27 |
| mefisto__ | ubuntu: and in the sda1 directory? does it show your disk's root dir? | 17:27 |
| ubuntu | mefisto__: on the left vertical menu there is a icon for root but i feel that belongs to the live cd | 17:28 |
| mefisto__ | firecrotch: I'm just echoing what you're saying, I'll let you handle it, OK? | 17:28 |
| WorldBFree | is there a way to install kde 4 as the standalone wm instead of alongside kde 3 on 7.10? | 17:28 |
| jpatrick | WorldBFree: #kubuntu-kde4 for KDE 4 support | 17:29 |
| ubuntu | mefisto__: when i open the sda1, it shows nothing inside it | 17:29 |
| firecrotch | mefisto__: Alright | 17:29 |
| * BluesKaj wishes the sites dealing with multimedia issues were more kubuntu/kde oriented. New users are confused by the gnome approach. | 17:29 | |

| jussi01 | BluesKaj: it is a wiki after all... | 17:30 |
| * BluesKaj has no idea how | 17:30 | |
| jussi01 | BluesKaj: you got a launchpad account? | 17:30 |
| ubuntu | mefisto__: thanks for the concern... i really appreciate it. | 17:30 |
| BluesKaj | i thought that was up to the kubuntu members | 17:30 |
| firecrotch | ubuntu: in konsole, type "umount /dev/sda1" | 17:30 |
| firecrotch | without the quotes | 17:30 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: brother, wat do u think i shud od | 17:30 |
| ubuntu | do* | 17:30 |
| ubuntu | firec | 17:31 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: ok | 17:31 |
| jussi01 | BluesKaj: as long as you have a lp account you can edit the wiki, just try to make sure its correct when you do. :) and respect it if it says in the notes not to edit.. | 17:31 |
| BluesKaj | jussi01, no , in my experience launchpad doesn't help much | 17:31 |

| firecrotch | ubuntu: Not at all, it happens :) | 17:41 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: whew | 17:42 |
| firecrotch | ubuntu: did you run the mkdir /mnt/sda1 command? | 17:42 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: yes i had done that | 17:42 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: i had done that by mkdir mnt/root | 17:42 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: but i think i had messed up when i came to the part wher i had to replace th uuid | 17:43 |
| firecrotch | ubuntu: Um? you shouldn't have had to replace anything.... just run it as I typed it | 17:44 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: ok i ll do that | 17:44 |
| firecrotch | ubuntu: you should not get any output from it, it will just bring you back to a prompt | 17:44 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: its says permission denied | 17:45 |
| mefisto__ | firecrotch: you could just mount in /mnt. don't need a new dir | 17:46 |
| firecrotch | ubuntu: silly me, sorry. you need to put sudo in front of the command, so it should read "sudo mkdir /mnt/sda1" | 17:46 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: ok | 17:46 |
| firecrotch | mefisto__: not if there's something else mounted there | 17:46 |
| firecrotch | mefisto__: like a cd-rom drive :) | 17:46 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: yes it came to th prompt as u said | 17:47 |
| firecrotch | ubuntu: the next command is: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 | 17:47 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: ok | 17:47 |
| firecrotch | ubuntu: after that, you should be able to just open up Konqueror, put /mnt/sda1 into the address bar, and it will take you to the root of your installed system | 17:48 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: ok it came bac to the prompt | 17:48 |
| firecrotch | So inside of /mnt/sda1 is your installed system. There should be a directory called boot | 17:49 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: ok | 17:49 |
| Vermux | jussi01: ok, I installed it. but this web says that there are missing java plugins | 17:50 |
| jussi01 | Vermux: have you restarted firefox/konq? | 17:50 |
| firecrotch | ubuntu: inside of there should be the grub directory, with the menu.lst file inside of it | 17:50 |
| Vermux | jussi01: no | 17:50 |
| Vermux | firefox | 17:50 |
| jussi01 | Vermux: that would help | 17:50 |

| firecrotch | ubuntu: yes please :) | 17:51 |

Does anyone know what is a fix for this as I don't want to lose my drive contents! And why doesn't installer allow to over write system files in installl? Why do you have to partition and zap your drive? | 18:04 |
| === StoneApple is now known as StoneNewt | ||
| jussi01 | Vermux: weird, it gives me the same here, but everything still works | 18:04 |
| kiskoma | sorry i'm beginer | 18:04 |
| jussi01 | Vermux: anyway, I need to run | 18:04 |
| firecrotch | Dunas: First we have to figure out why it's so slow :) I'm looking up how to turn on boot logging right now | 18:04 |
| Dunas | firecrotch: Thanks. :D I'm pretty new to all this, so be careful about how complex that is. >> << Could kill this computer if I do something wrong. | 18:05 |
| firecrotch | Dunas: we won't let that happen :) | 18:05 |
| Vermux | try to do the test | 18:05 |
| unagi | i constantly have the kde window decorator crash on me............here is the backtrace http://pastebin.org/19754 can anyone tell me what this means? | 18:05 |
| Vermux | jussi01: ^ | 18:05 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: ok it renamed,, there s one more file in there with the same name but with dpkg-bak extn | 18:05 |
| firecrotch | Dunas: Just for my own info, what are the specs of the machine? | 18:05 |
| mefisto__ | Dunas: you could try this: at grub menu when you boot, press "e" to edit the kernel line, and add "profile" at the end, then enter. press "b" to boot. It will take longer than usual to boot, but after that it should boot up a little faster | 18:06 |
| ubuntu_ | Where does linux store its boot kickstarts? | 18:06 |
| unagi | !decorator | 18:06 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about decorator - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 18:06 |
| snowdonkey | Hi. Can someone explain why defragmenting isn't necessary with an ext3 filesystem? | 18:06 |
| Dunas | firecrotch: AMD64 Turion processor, ATI mobile graphics card, RTL8185 wireless chipset, and if you tell me how I can find the RAM and other specs. | 18:06 |
| firecrotch | ubuntu: that's fine, as long as you have one copy that exactly matches what it says in the menu.lst file, it will work | 18:06 |
| unagi | !defrag | snowdonkey | 18:06 |
| ubotu | snowdonkey: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. | 18:06 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: ok cool | 18:06 |
| snowdonkey | unagi: Nice, thanks. | 18:07 |
| famval | hi | 18:07 |
| DaSkreech | Hi unagi got your problem sorted/ | 18:07 |
| mefisto__ | looks like ubuntu had a bad/interrupted kernel upgrade | 18:08 |

| firecrotch | Dunas: I can't seem to find out how to turn the logging on... I'll get it, just give me a moment | 18:11 |
| mefisto__ | unagi: happens to me too (when I start compiz). I made a .desktop file and put it in kmenu to start it again | 18:12 |
| Dunas | Ok. | 18:12 |

| mefisto__ | tj__: gaim is now pidgin, I believe | 18:14 |
| tj__ | hmm i don't get it | 18:14 |
| tj__ | changed name to pidgin | 18:14 |
| BluesKaj | yeah tj__ , mefisto has it correct , pidgin is the gaim substitute in kubuntu now | 18:15 |
| mefisto__ | pidgin is gaim everywhere, not just kubuntu | 18:15 |
| tj__ | thanks do u think the xfire plugin for gaim would work for it | 18:15 |
| vlt | Hello. When I have open an OpenOffice window and then---from another pc but logged in as the same user---open an office document it opens on the first pc. Any idea how to prevent this? | 18:15 |

| mefisto__ | ubuntu: how did it go? | 18:17 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: otbut i cant bo | 18:17 |
| ubuntu | boot | 18:17 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: i m getting some microcode error | 18:17 |
| firecrotch | ubuntu: Do you have a different error now? | 18:17 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: it wont letme login to the x server/ | 18:18 |
| ubuntu | firecrotch: u know it used to throw the microcode error but it ended up booting anyways | 18:18 |
| firecrotch | Dunas: in /etc/default/bootlogd, change BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=No to BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes | 18:18 |
| BluesKaj | hey ubuntu , there several new users who don't bother giviung themselves anick using the ubuntu handle , perhaps you could nick yourself to identify yourself from the ubuntus who frequent this room on a daily basis . Then we know who we're talking to :) | 18:18 |

| Dunas | Alright. It's set. | 18:22 |

| walmik | firecrotch: cool | 18:23 |

| DaSkreech | walmik: You can type /nick newnick as well | 18:25 |
| DaSkreech | It's a lot faster | 18:25 |
| walmik | DaSkreech: oh... i went the longer way i guess,,, but i ll remember this tip, thanks | 18:25 |
| Vermux | hi | 18:25 |
| ubuntu_ | My "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic" was zero bytes. copied over backup so hope this works. to get system working agian. | 18:26 |
| firecrotch | Welcome back, Dunas | 18:27 |
| walmik | firecrotch: microcode error "bcm43xx_microcode.fw" not available or load failed | 18:27 |
| walmik | firecrotch: it keeps looping over this line at some interval and asks me for walmik-laptop login and password | 18:27 |
| Dunas | Thank you. | 18:27 |
| mefisto__ | walmik: that .bak extension, and the other file that was in /boot, suggests that a kernel upgrade was interrupted. "sudo dpkg --configure -a" should fix that. | 18:28 |
| walmik | firecrotch: i m on a compaq pressario amd64 turion | 18:28 |
| walmik | mefisto__: shud i type it now in the konsole | 18:28 |
| mefisto__ | walmik: are you on livecd or ...? | 18:28 |
| firecrotch | walmik: boot from the hard drive, and enter your username and password at the prompt, then do that | 18:29 |
| walmik | mefisto__: live cd :( | 18:29 |
| khelll | how to change file encoding from console ? | 18:29 |
| walmik | firecrotch: ok i ll do that | 18:29 |
| mefisto__ | walmik: by the way --configure has 2 dashes | 18:29 |
| firecrotch | You can ignore those microcode errors for the time being | 18:29 |

| firecrotch | sub[t]rnl: do you know where upstart keeps the boot log then? | 18:36 |
| mefisto__ | sub[t]rnl: so there is no boot log now? | 18:36 |
| sub[t]rnl | well, I'm guessing it gets written to /dev/console, so, nowhere | 18:36 |
| sub[t]rnl | :/ | 18:37 |
| sub[t]rnl | you can install a prior version of bootlogd to get it working again, sec | 18:37 |

| ForgeAus | ie browse to a .deb list? | 18:44 |
| firecrotch | ForgeAus: You mean you just want to fetch the deb instead of installing it? | 18:44 |
| ForgeAus | firecrotch I want to get the .deb from a browser and copy it over to my kubuntu so that I can install it there | 18:45 |
| ForgeAus | (my kubuntu's networking is non-functional right now) | 18:45 |
| firecrotch | You'll need to find it on packages.ubuntu.com then | 18:45 |
| ForgeAus | I need to fix fglxr and the networking and possibly X before I can get apt up | 18:45 |
| walmik | mefisto__: hi there | 18:45 |
| ForgeAus | ok thanx :) | 18:45 |
| walmik | firecrotch: hello | 18:45 |
| mefisto__ | ForgeAus: http://www.getdeb.net/ might have the deb you're looking for | 18:45 |
| firecrotch | ForgeAus: All you should need to do to get apt working is get the networking working :) | 18:46 |
| firecrotch | no need for X at all | 18:46 |
| walmik | mefisto__: firecrotch: unfortunately i m still not able login | 18:46 |
| firecrotch | walmik, welcome back again | 18:46 |
| walmik | firecrotch: i m still in live cd | 18:46 |
| firecrotch | walmik, when you boot, you get a login: terminal right? | 18:47 |
| walmik | firecrotch: yes i do | 18:47 |
| walmik | firecrotch: but its got that microcode error looping every now n then | 18:47 |
| firecrotch | walmik: you can ignore that while you're working | 18:48 |
| walmik | firecrotch: oh ok | 18:48 |
| firecrotch | walmik: you'll still be able to log in and everything | 18:48 |
| walmik | firecrotch: ok | 18:48 |
| walmik | firecrotch: u know i think i messed up some time before i came to this channel.. i d replaced th uuid with sda1 and ths | 18:49 |
| walmik | firecrotch: and it was displayed as something that was not resolved | 18:49 |
| walmik | firecrotch: but maybe the configure thing took care of it | 18:49 |
| tj__ | i'm using compiz and my header bar has disappeared for all the windows anybody know how fix this | 18:50 |
| firecrotch | walmik: so you did "dpkg --reconfigure -a" ? | 18:50 |
| GNU\colossus | I'd like to associate all video/* media with mplayer running in a terminal (that is closed after mplayer exits) from CLI - any hints on how to do so? | 18:50 |
| walmik | firecrotch: no not reconfigure... only configure. | 18:50 |
| walmik | firecrotch: was i to do reconfigure? | 18:50 |
| firecrotch | walmik: no no, sorry, my mistake | 18:51 |
| walmik | firecrotch: np | 18:51 |
| firecrotch | so you're still getting that error, and still not getting a graphical login? | 18:51 |
| walmik | firecrotch: th way u had pointed out in the initial error that its not knowing wher the kernel is... wat do think cud thisproblem be? | 18:52 |
| walmik | firecrotch: i had run into some troubles getting the nvidia drivers installed as well | 18:52 |
| mefisto__ | ahh | 18:52 |
| walmik | firecrotch: cud it be related? | 18:52 |
| walmik | mefisto__: was that aah for me | 18:53 |
| firecrotch | walmik: Ok, now we're getting somewhere | 18:53 |
| mefisto__ | walmik: yes | 18:53 |
| walmik | firecrotch: man this is like awesome... | 18:53 |
| firecrotch | the trouble you had with the nvidia drivers is causing you to not be able to get X to run | 18:53 |
| walmik | mefisto__: do u think life ll getback to normal for me? | 18:53 |
| firecrotch | walmik: How did you install the nvidia drivers? | 18:54 |
| walmik | firecrotch: using a lil program called envy | 18:54 |
| walmik | firecrotch: for days i struggled to get the reso from 800 x 600 to 1280 x 800 | 18:55 |
| walmik | firecrotch: i m back to 800 now... | 18:55 |
| firecrotch | oh my | 18:55 |
| firecrotch | You used Envy to install the driver, then you did an upgrade, didn't you? | 18:55 |
| walmik | firecrotch: i gues i did that | 18:56 |
| firecrotch | walmik: That's what has caused your problem | 18:56 |
| walmik | firecrotch: i wanted to install eclipse, for which i had to install jre which had its own trouble | 18:56 |
| walmik | firecrotch: what shud i do now? | 18:56 |
| mefisto__ | firecrotch: can we change nv or nvidia to vesa, so he can log in normally and continue from there, instead of livecd | 18:57 |
| walmik | firecrotch: even jre is not installed properly giving me headaches to use phpeclipse | 18:57 |
| firecrotch | mefisto__: That should work, yes | 18:57 |
| ForgeAus | thanx :) | 18:57 |
| walmik | mefisto__: by default it used vesa but it only allowed me 800 x 600... ths is obviously befor nvidia | 18:58 |
| ForgeAus | ok firecrotch how do I go about fixing networking? | 18:58 |
| firecrotch | walmik: We need to get you back to a state where you can use your system, regardless of the resolution, then we can fix the resolution | 18:58 |
| ForgeAus | was ok from the live cd, its meant to be DHCP | 18:58 |
| walmik | firecrotch: ya i think that makes perfect sense | 18:59 |
| ForgeAus | (but I lost my /etc/ and trying to fix things) | 18:59 |
| firecrotch | ForgeAus: you lost your entire /etc/ ?! | 18:59 |
| ForgeAus | yes | 18:59 |
| * Level15 can't stop laughing | 18:59 | |
| ForgeAus | it decided it wanted to be called a file instead of a directory | 18:59 |
| firecrotch | ForgeAus: You didn't delete that file, did you? | 19:00 |
| firecrotch | You can probably turn it back into a directory | 19:00 |
| ForgeAus | not exactly | 19:00 |
| ForgeAus | fsck did that for me | 19:00 |
| tj__ | is there a way to restart compiz the windows headers have disappered | 19:00 |
| ForgeAus | and placed a heap of files with numerical names in lost+found | 19:00 |
| firecrotch | tj__: killall -9 compiz.real && compiz --replace | 19:00 |
| rothchild | tj__ try compiz --replace | 19:00 |
| walmik | mefisto__: firecrotch: do i turn it to vesa by going into the system settings | 19:01 |
| sub[t]rnl | tj__➜ if its just the decorations, do emerald --replace | 19:01 |
| firecrotch | walmik: If you're on the live cd, no | 19:01 |
| ForgeAus | its mostly symlinks to anything in /etc/ that got broken, but fglxr is one thing I really needed to fix | 19:01 |
| walmik | firecrotch: ok | 19:01 |
| ForgeAus | I don't think I lost any libs | 19:01 |
| tj__ | i did that and got a kwd crash | 19:01 |
| firecrotch | walmik: you'll have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (on the hard drive) | 19:02 |
| firecrotch | walmik: and change nvidia (or nv) to vesa | 19:02 |
| walmik | ok... just that or also the resolution | 19:02 |
| jouellette | Hi, Can anyone help me create a .deb package? It uses cmake and I"m having issues building the package correctly | 19:02 |
| firecrotch | walmik: Just that. Leave the resolution for now | 19:02 |
| walmik | firecrotch: ok | 19:03 |

| mefisto__ | walmik: boot from hard drive and login, then "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" to edit the config file, and change "nv" or "nvidia" to "vesa" | 19:03 |
| DaSkreech | jouellette: ^^^ | 19:03 |
| firecrotch | ForgeAus: I don't recommend this often (especially in linux) but... | 19:03 |
| walmik | mefisto__: u have telepathy... i was just gonna ask how to do that | 19:03 |
| firecrotch | ForgeAus: it's gonna be easier to reinstall | 19:03 |
| ForgeAus | hehe firecrotch but I"m learning a heck of a lot more the hard way :) | 19:04 |
| DaSkreech | walmik: That's not out till KDE 4.1 | 19:04 |
| twosouls82 | :D | 19:04 |
| mefisto__ | firecrotch: it's case-sensitive, so watch the X11 when you type | 19:04 |
| jouellette | DaSkreech: yeah, but it doesn't say anything about cmake, and that's what's causing issues... | 19:04 |
| DaSkreech | jouellette: #kubuntu-devel might be able to point you to help docs for that | 19:05 |
| firecrotch | mefisto__: I had it right :-P | 19:05 |
| jouellette | DaSkreech: thanks | 19:05 |
| walmik | mefisto__: ok thats an eleven after x isnt it... not a double L | 19:05 |
| mefisto__ | oops | 19:05 |
| ForgeAus | besides reinstalling will remove all the downloads, etc on the drive... | 19:05 |
| firecrotch | ForgeAus: The only lesson here is that fsck can sometime fsck up your system | 19:05 |
| mefisto__ | walmik: yes, uppercase X and one one | 19:05 |
| walmik | mefisto__: ok cool.. i ll do that | 19:06 |
| firecrotch | ForgeAus: If you're referring to packages that you've downloaded, yes, but unless you're on dialup, that shouldnt be too bad | 19:06 |
| ForgeAus | nah it was fscked up before I had to fsck it | 19:06 |
| Dunas | Here's where I am. I really want to get Steam running in Wine, but it's being a complete arse. I think I need to update my graphics card or something, but it's hard to say what's wrong- even the people in #winehq can't really figure it out. Kubuntu is nice, but I spent $50 for games I can't play, and I'm not liking that prospect. I'm strongly tempted to change distributions/reinstall XP. Can someone talk me out of it? ; ; | 19:06 |
| ForgeAus | firecrotch, vmware server is installed in there, lotsa wine apps | 19:06 |
| === kristjan is now known as kristjan_ | ||
| ForgeAus | and downloads in general (from theming to text files to iso's) | 19:07 |
| firecrotch | ForgeAus: well, since /etc/ doesn't really change a lot, a good way to start your endeavor would be to copy /etc/ from a live CD session | 19:07 |
| kristjan_ | ok then is hardy heron CD with kde4 going to be released? how long do we hate to wait? | 19:07 |
| ForgeAus | already done that :) | 19:07 |
| ForgeAus | (cept that it has caspar, so I think Ir eally should have copied one from a fresh vmware install maybe) | 19:08 |
| firecrotch | ForgeAus: Shouldn't matter too much, but that might work out better | 19:08 |
| ForgeAus | well now I have fglxr it should help but still no networking | 19:09 |
| firecrotch | ForgeAus: well, what is networking doing? are you not getting an IP from DHCP? | 19:09 |
| sled | hello | 19:10 |
| ForgeAus | I don't even seem to have an /eth0/ | 19:10 |
| sled | how can I turn on my second screen? I have a DELL Inspiron 6400 notebook | 19:10 |
| sled | I set up a dual screen, but my second screen is always black | 19:10 |
| sled | but the LED is green | 19:10 |
| firecrotch | ForgeAus: /etc/init.d/networking restart any help? | 19:11 |
| vlt | Hello. When I have open an OpenOffice window on one screen and then---from another pc but logged in as the same user---open an office document it opens on the first pc. Any idea how to prevent this? | 19:11 |
| ForgeAus | dunno I'll have to reboot into kubuntu and try it | 19:12 |
| ForgeAus | hmm maybe I can use vmware to boot into it | 19:12 |
| tj__ | so when i open up the command line and type emerald --replace it work sthen i close the command line and the window headers disappear | 19:12 |
| firecrotch | ForgeAus: That might not be a bad idea, but doesn't vmware use a generic hardware profile inside the guest OS? | 19:12 |
| ForgeAus | thats ok | 19:13 |
| ubuntu | ciao | 19:13 |
| ForgeAus | it deosn't have grub so I'm goina need my feisty LiveCD .iso | 19:14 |
| ForgeAus | (well it has bits of grub but not in that partitions boot sector) | 19:14 |
| firecrotch | ForgeAus: Have you tried dpkg-reconfigure -a ? | 19:14 |
| twosouls82 | you can use VMWare to boot a existing Windows installation... but to boot an existing Linux.. I have never found a solution | 19:14 |
| Dunas | How do I get the latest AMD64 ATI drivers up and going for my computer? | 19:15 |
| firecrotch | !ati | 19:15 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 19:15 |
| ForgeAus | firecrotch yes | 19:16 |
| Dunas | Ok, so it's obviously not the driver that's causing wine to not run Steam properly. | 19:16 |
| firecrotch | ForgeAus: What abotu with --force? | 19:16 |
| ForgeAus | what do you mean twosouls | 19:16 |
| ForgeAus | it works fine | 19:16 |
| ForgeAus | firecrotch, wait till I have it booted :) its in the process now | 19:17 |
| ForgeAus | wow it did have grub in its boot sector, interesting! | 19:17 |
| twosouls82 | ForgeAus: I must have misinterpreted something | 19:18 |
| ForgeAus | its not booting | 19:19 |
| ForgeAus | twosouls maybe because I'm using windows XP as my host OS? | 19:20 |
| ForgeAus | gets to the kubuntu splash screen (the one with the blu progress bar) | 19:20 |
| twosouls82 | ForgeAus: so the not bootting install is a virtual install using VMWare hosted on XP? | 19:20 |
| Wallgod | mefisto__: firecrotch: hello there! i m NOT in a live CD anymore | 19:20 |
| twosouls82 | booting* | 19:20 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: mefisto__this is walmik | 19:20 |
| theunixgeek | Anyone use GNUstep? I need help opening Project Builder. | 19:21 |
| theunixgeek | [2:19pm] theunixgeek: I don't know where it's located. | 19:21 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: That's good! | 19:21 |
| Wallgod | mefisto__: firecrotch now the display isnt 800 either... i m seeing some light at the end of the tunnel | 19:21 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: Follow the instructions here on how to set up the proper nvidia drivers: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 19:21 |
| mefisto__ | Wallgod: good work | 19:21 |
| ForgeAus | hehe twosouls the not booting one right now is the one thats already installed natively on my HDD (I tried booting it from inside vmware) | 19:22 |
| Wallgod | mefisto__: firecrotch: no no,, the credit is entirely to u guys | 19:22 |
| ForgeAus | I tried recovery mode seemed to start working but hangs on Begin: waiting for root file system | 19:23 |
| mefisto__ | Wallgod: you came here and found the help you needed, and did the right things, so you fixed it really | 19:23 |
| ForgeAus | wait maybe because I have it mounted in ext2ifs | 19:23 |
| twosouls82 | ForgeAus: so I understood that part right :) I said I never found a way to do that (the other way around booting an non virtual XP installation in VMWare is no problem) | 19:23 |
| Wallgod | mefisto__: u r so modest! | 19:23 |
| twosouls82 | ForgeAus: that's a good reason for it not to work I guess | 19:24 |
| ForgeAus | erm I have to reboot for it to unmount :( | 19:25 |
| ForgeAus | maybe later someday | 19:25 |
| ForgeAus | right now 2 tired I gotta sleep but thanx for the help anyway firecrotch :) | 19:26 |
| twosouls82 | ForgeAus: isn't there a control panel applet being supplied with that fs driver? | 19:26 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: shud i use envy? | 19:26 |
| ForgeAus | yes twosouls | 19:26 |
| twosouls82 | can't you unmount it there? | 19:26 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: NO | 19:26 |
| ForgeAus | yes | 19:26 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: never! | 19:26 |
| ForgeAus | but it tells me I have to reboot for it to work | 19:26 |
| twosouls82 | :s tsss | 19:26 |
| firecrotch | ForgeAus: No problem :) | 19:26 |
| twosouls82 | :) | 19:26 |
| twosouls82 | ForgeAus: good night | 19:26 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: oh ok... but ther is ths nvidia settings menu in the start menu | 19:26 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: so does that mean there are some drivers in her already? | 19:27 |
| ForgeAus | if that doesn't work later what I'll do is chroot to it from my feisty.iso | 19:27 |
| ForgeAus | and see what I can do from there | 19:27 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: whatever you did with envy is just going to mess things up even more, most likely | 19:27 |
| twosouls82 | ForgeAus: what was the problem, did it give you an error? | 19:27 |
| twosouls82 | :) | 19:28 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: oh.. i ll follow the nstructions of this page u gave me the link to | 19:28 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: That ought to fix your problem | 19:28 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: Before you do that... your wireless is working on your computer, correct? | 19:29 |

| vigge_sWe | hello. How do I mount my shared folder? | 19:41 |
| vigge_sWe | ? | 19:43 |
| usuari | #vilafranka | 19:44 |
| mefisto__ | firecrotch: i"m here now | 19:44 |
| vigge_sWe | how do I mount my shared folders? | 19:45 |
| firecrotch | mefisto__: Heh, well I was going to ask if you were going to be around to maybe help Wallgod, since I have to go to sleep (2pm here already) but he's disappeared | 19:46 |
| mefisto__ | firecrotch: I'm going to bed to :) I was waiting for sunrise to take photos, now I'm finished | 19:47 |
| BluesKaj | vigge_sWe, right click on the folder you want to share/sharetab/configure file sharing | 19:47 |
| vigge_sWe | how do I do mount a folder from windows xp then? | 19:48 |
| firecrotch | mefisto__: Ah, alright, well, have a good sleep-time-thing... | 19:48 |
| mefisto__ | firecrotch: you too | 19:48 |
| firecrotch | mefisto__: I somehow doubt that will happen :( | 19:49 |
| BluesKaj | vigge_sWe, do you have ntfs-3g installed ? | 19:49 |
| vigge_sWe | no I don't think so, but I use VirtualBox | 19:49 |
| Wallgod | mefisto__: firecrotch | 19:51 |
| Wallgod | mefisto__: firecrotch: hio there ... got dicsconnected | 19:51 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: I'm still here, mefisto__ is gone though | 19:52 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: oh ok... i m gonna do that setup now | 19:52 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: Okay, once you've got the nvidia driver setup properly, then you can work on getting your wireless card to work | 19:52 |
| vigge_sWe | BluesKaj : how do I instal ntfs-3g? Can I use it when both windows xp and kubuntu are running? | 19:52 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: ok... u know these settings for 7.10 is something that i had done earlier as well... | 19:53 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: shud i try the ones mentioned for 7.4 | 19:54 |
| sled | hello | 19:54 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: not if you're not using 7.04 | 19:54 |
| firecrotch | sled: hello! | 19:55 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: i m not.. | 19:55 |
| BluesKaj | !ntfs-3g | vigge_sWe | 19:55 |
| ubotu | vigge_sWe: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 19:55 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: then don't use those instructions :) | 19:55 |
| vigge_sWe | I have no partitions | 19:55 |
| vigge_sWe | virtual harddrive | 19:55 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: also when i do lcpci command, i get Nvidia Corporation unknown device ... maybe because we made it to vesa | 19:55 |
| sled | I managed to use the dual screen feature, but my mouse cursor looks strange on my second screen | 19:56 |
| sled | it's like a big rectangle | 19:56 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: That wouldnt cause that. As long as you know it's nvidia, its fine | 19:56 |
| BluesKaj | !virtual box | vigge_sWe | 19:56 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about virtual box - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 19:56 |
| BluesKaj | !virtualbox | vigge_sWe | 19:57 |
| ubotu | vigge_sWe: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available in !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 19:57 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: u know while editing the xorg.conf file... i changed the driver from nvidia to vesa but left the manufacturer details to Nvidia Corp | 19:57 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: that's okay too | 19:57 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: ok | 19:57 |
| Arwen | firecrotch? must be painful... | 19:58 |
| vigge_sWe | 1. virtualbox is free. 2. #vbox sent me here to #kubuntu... | 19:58 |
| BluesKaj | vigge_sWe, in other words help is available in #vbox) | 19:58 |
| vigge_sWe | they still sent me here... | 19:58 |
| firecrotch | Arwen: You get used to it after a while... :) | 19:58 |
| Wallgod | the only instructions for 7.10 say that i shud enable the restricted drivers which will instal th right drivers... i have done this in the past so its already enabled | 19:58 |
| === gladstone_____ is now known as TimS | ||
| Wallgod | firecrotch: wat do u suggest i shud do now | 19:59 |
| ddamron | hey, | 19:59 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: hang on one moment | 19:59 |
| ddamron | I'm trying to X into my dcerouter from my laptop | 19:59 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: ya np | 20:00 |
| ddamron | oops, | 20:00 |
| ddamron | wrong thread, | 20:00 |
| ddamron | sorry guys! | 20:00 |
| BluesKaj | vigge_sWe, well, in xp you should be able to setup file sharing as you would normally with another pc. | 20:01 |
| vigge_sWe | but anyway, I seem to get erorr when typing sudo mount -t vboxsf [-o OPTIONS] Skrivbord /mnt/share in terminal | 20:01 |
| vigge_sWe | virtualbox has folder sharing but you need to mount it with sudo mount -t vboxsf [-o OPTIONS] Skrivbord /mnt/share but it gave me errors | 20:01 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: You should be able to change /etc/X11/xorg.conf back to nvidia then, and it *should* work | 20:01 |
| Toyd | Where can i download the latest live cd? | 20:02 |
| BluesKaj | vigge_sWe, so perhaps your question should be directed to the the ppl in the #windows chat | 20:02 |
| firecrotch | Toyd: http://kubuntu.org | 20:02 |
| vigge_sWe | of*** | 20:02 |
| vigge_sWe | #windows | 20:02 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: i had done that in our previous step... thats how i came without the live CD in this session | 20:02 |
| vigge_sWe | oops | 20:02 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: oh i get it | 20:03 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: change it back to nvidia | 20:03 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: actually, I have a better solution | 20:03 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: also, there are these few things in adept that show uninstalled, like nvidia driver settings and nvidia xconfig | 20:03 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: in konsole: dpkg-reconfigure xorg-nvidia | 20:04 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: ok | 20:04 |
| firecrotch | at least I think that's the proper command | 20:04 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: is there a keyboard shortcut to firing up konsole? | 20:05 |
| tekteen | Wallgod: why not create one? | 20:05 |
| tekteen | or use katapult | 20:06 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: shud there be a gap after dpkg? | 20:06 |
| tekteen | !katapult | 20:06 |
| ubotu | katapult is the new application launcher for KDE, to be used with applications, bookmarks, and Amarok playlists. Once you have installed, hit Alt+f2 -> katapult, then hit Alt+Space, and type what you want. | 20:06 |
| firecrotch | wallgod: dpkg-reconfigure xorg-nvidia | 20:06 |
| Wallgod | tekteen: ok i ll try that.. thanks for the tip | 20:06 |
| tekteen | np | 20:06 |
| BluesKaj | hehe ''firing up a konsole" | 20:07 |
| vigge_sWe | how do I use samba/filesharing?????? | 20:08 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: it says xorg-nvidia is not installed | 20:08 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: I figured as much... I have to find the right command | 20:08 |
| === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo | ||

| BluesKaj | Wallgod, reminds of the geeky audio guys i used to chat with , firing up their tube amps :) | 20:10 |
| LukeLM | !samba | 20:10 |
| ubotu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 20:10 |
| Toyd | where can i find the kubuntu live-cd? | 20:11 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: ok it gave some installer kinda screenshots and finally said only one head can be configure now, remaining will have to be done later manually | 20:11 |
| BluesKaj | vigge_sWe, you don't need samba for a virtual box sharing AFAIK | 20:12 |
| Toyd | i cant find it on kubuntu.org | 20:12 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: and then it comes to an <ok> where it has stopped | 20:12 |
| Toyd | !sambal | 20:12 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sambal - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:12 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about spicy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:12 |
| vigge_sWe | yes I do. when you sent me to the windows support they told me to use samba... | 20:12 |
| Toyd | !live cd | 20:12 |
| ubotu | The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 20:12 |
| firecrotch | use the arrow keys to highlight it, and hit enter | 20:12 |
| Toyd | !download live cd | 20:12 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: but i cant click on it,. nor does hitting the enter key do anyting | 20:13 |
| BluesKaj | vigge_sWe, they obviously misunderstood your question | 20:13 |
| vigge_sWe | and the ones at virtualbox support don't want to tell me how to use the vbox "folder sharing" | 20:13 |
| vigge_sWe | so I guess I better do the samba thing | 20:13 |
| BluesKaj | try samba then, vigge_sWe ...see what happens | 20:13 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: I just want to make sure you're looking at what I think you are... it's a grey box on a blue background? | 20:13 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: yes it is... i selected and hit enter, now its asking for video cards bus identifier | 20:14 |
| firecrotch | Is there a default setting? | 20:14 |

| Wallgod | firecrotch: i think there was one in the previous screen(with the ok button | 20:15 |
| === senane is now known as HostiL | ||
| Wallgod | firecrotch: and in this screen there is something like PCI:0:18s | 20:16 |

| vigge_sWe | what should I have as servername and sharename? | 20:16 |

| Wallgod | ok | 20:16 |
| BluesKaj | Wallgod, lspci | grep VGA | 20:16 |

| Wallgod | BluesKaj: oops! shud i have used the pastebin? | 20:19 |

| Wallgod | firecrotch: ok cool | 20:19 |
| vigge_sWe | what should I have as servername and sharename? | 20:20 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: its still says incorrect format | 20:21 |
| BluesKaj | vigge_sWe, open konqueror type smb:/ in the addressbar, a file showing your samba shared folders should open | 20:21 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: Try "PCI:12:0:0" | 20:22 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: i tried that | 20:22 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: not exactly that... i ll try it | 20:23 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: I have to admit, I know *nothing* about setting up nvidia graphics cards, just from what I've read | 20:23 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: woah! looks like it tookk it... | 20:23 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: u have some seruous good intuition | 20:24 |
| firecrotch | That format *might* be wrong, if it is, you can just run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-zorg again | 20:24 |
| firecrotch | When you're done with the reconfigure, you'll have to restart X | 20:24 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: i hope this thing works! it now asks for how much memory to be used by the casrd | 20:25 |

| tr_tr_tr | Hi, someboy knows what files attach to bug in launchpad ? (dmesg, lspci | 20:25 |
| tr_tr_tr | ... | 20:25 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: it also says that it shud be left blank and shud be specified only if card lacks RAM | 20:25 |
| Wallgod | firecrotch: or if xserver has problems identifying it | 20:26 |
| firecrotch | Leave it blank then, nvidia cards certainly have their own ram | 20:26 |

| BluesKaj | rufus_, if you intend to dual boot with windows , put it on the first partiton , then the 2nd partition should be ext3 for kubuntu and a small 1-2 G linux swap partition should be the last one | 20:29 |
| firecrotch | alien_doggy: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/130559 | 20:29 |

| rufus_ | BluesKaj, how can I select to put it on the second one? | 20:30 |
| BluesKaj | Arwen, click on playlists | 20:30 |
| Arwen | BluesKaj, and then? | 20:30 |
| rufus_ | and wont kubuntu automatically make my swap partition? | 20:30 |
| firecrotch | Wallgod: Defaults for everything :) | 20:30 |
| BluesKaj | Arwen, then the shoutcast list shoul be in the playlist tree | 20:31 |

| Daisuke_Ido | you have a couple options | 21:53 |
| Daisuke_Ido | getdeb | 21:53 |
| Daisuke_Ido | or enable the backports repo, because 0.7.0 is in there | 21:54 |

| ubotu | yasahiro: Cinelerra is a video editor and compositor that cannot be included in Ubuntu for legal reasons. Install instructions can be found on http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu | 21:57 |

| Arwen | bah, nothing beats Cinelerra | 21:59 |
| neville | I thought it only supported partitions as big as 40Gb :/ | 21:59 |
| Arwen | neville, Windows' partitioning tool has that limit. | 21:59 |
| Arwen | The real limit is somewhere around 250GB | 21:59 |
| neville | Ahh | 21:59 |
| neville | Makes sense :P | 21:59 |
| Aloha | MrJigsaw: did that idanish dictionary help at all? | 22:00 |
| MrJigsaw | No | 22:00 |

| kaminix | Arwen: Not the tool I used last time. Is it as easy as that one? The one I used replaced the make install, asked me a bunch of stuff and did everything for me. | 22:03 |
| Arwen | You're thinking of !checkinstall which kind of sucks | 22:04 |
| Arwen | A lot. | 22:04 |
| kaminix | Why does it suck? | 22:05 |
| Arwen | breaks apt's dependency handling | 22:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | sweet. upgrading to wine .9.54 makes PS work perfectly | 22:06 |
| unagi | wow all that trouble to install open arena and the mouse acts weird | 22:06 |
| kaminix | Awww... this looks like pain. I think I'll just use checkinstall... thanks :p | 22:06 |

| rufus_ | are plasmoids like screenlets for KDE? | 22:10 |
| hydrogen | right now they are pretty much a superkaramba replacement | 22:11 |
| hydrogen | in the future the concept at this point is for them to replace at least some windows | 22:11 |
| Z0d14k1 | plasmoids look _REALLY_ cool. There just aren't enough of them to push me to KDE4 full time..... Need more functionality. | 22:12 |
| rufus_ | hmm... what is a antiX Fluxbox theme? | 22:12 |
| neville | Has KDE4 still got all of the great things that made 3.5.8 great? Or is some/most of the things missing? | 22:13 |
| siofwolves | Arwen, it worked thanks. had to do a bit of work to find the device name (/dev/sdf), but working anyhow. | 22:13 |
| hydrogen | depends on what you considder the things are that made kde3.5.8 great | 22:13 |
| selckin | neville: lots missing wait for 4.1 | 22:13 |
| rufus_ | does kubuntu come with kde4? | 22:13 |
| neville | Okay, thanks for that | 22:14 |
| rufus_ | hmm... what is a antiX Fluxbox theme? does it work with KDE or is it only for fluxbox | 22:14 |
