[17:03] 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] 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.

Perhaps its a good idea to send a letter/email to konica minolta? [17:07] 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] hello [17:08] Shrek: Some manufacturers make drivers, but a lot are made by third parties [17:08] 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 [17:09] then I wonder if there is someone I could contact and ask if they would make a driver [17:09] lu === senane is now known as HostiL [17:09] Shrek: I missed the earlier part of the discussion: what are you looking for a driver for?

[17:12] 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] ubuntu: newly installed? or did you change something? [17:12] shockhead: just thought of something, I know why mine works... I grabbed a deb off the forums.. [17:12] ubuntu: do you have a live CD or another way to access the contents of the hard drive? [17:12] mefisto__: i think i updated a newly installed version of kubuntu 64 [17:12] firecrotch: i am on a live CD [17:12] jussi01: ooh... do you have a link?

[17:15] jussi01: yeah [17:16] ubuntu: you should be able to access the hard drive via the System Menu (it's the computer icon on the bottom panel) [17:17] 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] ubuntu: are you on livecd? [17:17] ubuntu: you're probably looking at the one for the live environment, which doesn't exist [17:18] firecrotch: yes... [17:18] firecrotch: i m also panicking [17:18] mefisto__: yes i m on live cd... [17:18] ubuntu: there's no need to panic, it's most likely a simple issue [17:18] ubuntu: it'll be fine, relax [17:19] firecrotch: i m glad u say that [17:19] Howdy All : ) [17:19] 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] Howdy, BluesKaj [17:19] 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 [17:20] hiya firecrotch [17:20] how could i install a codec for mp3 and movies ? [17:20] 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] jussi01: thanks, will do [17:20] firecrotch: i tried loading the grub menu n then e to edit the line which said (hd0,0) [17:20] Shrek: nice [17:21] 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] firecrotch: mefisto__ i also looked in the system folders - root/boot/ but there is no folder called grub in it [17:21] pharaon, install libdvdcss2,libxine1-ffmpeg, w32codecs and kubuntu-restricted-extras [17:21] mefisto__: but how do i that [17:21] Hello everybody [17:22] BluesKaj: thanks .. i try [17:22] I have a problem with python-pygame [17:22] !multimedia | pharaon [17:22] pharaon: Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically.

[17:24] And now I want to install freevo but dependency python-pygame must be installed [17:24] ubuntu: I think you're looking at the live CD [17:24] firecrotch: i feel the same [17:25] firecrotch: does livecd mount linux partitions automatically? [17:25] But if I install python-pygame it gives me back error 1 [17:25] firecrotch: i can see my hard disk but when i double click it, its nothing inside [17:25] How can I install freevo without to install python-pygame? [17:25] from source? [17:25] mefisto__: Now that I think about it, I'm not sure... [17:26] firecrotch: mefisto__ the hard disk when double clicked shows sda1 [17:26] Well that answers that... it's mounted. [17:27] firecrotch: but it doesnt show anything inside [17:27] pharaon, do you know how to use the adept pkg installer ? [17:27] ubuntu: and in the sda1 directory? does it show your disk's root dir? [17:28] mefisto__: on the left vertical menu there is a icon for root but i feel that belongs to the live cd [17:28] firecrotch: I'm just echoing what you're saying, I'll let you handle it, OK? [17:28] is there a way to install kde 4 as the standalone wm instead of alongside kde 3 on 7.10? [17:29] WorldBFree: #kubuntu-kde4 for KDE 4 support [17:29] mefisto__: when i open the sda1, it shows nothing inside it [17:29] 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 pokes BluesKaj to go update the wiki [17:30] BluesKaj: it is a wiki after all... [17:30] * BluesKaj has no idea how [17:30] BluesKaj: you got a launchpad account? [17:30] mefisto__: thanks for the concern... i really appreciate it. [17:30] i thought that was up to the kubuntu members [17:30] ubuntu: in konsole, type "umount /dev/sda1" [17:30] without the quotes [17:30] firecrotch: brother, wat do u think i shud od [17:30] do* [17:31] firec [17:31] firecrotch: ok [17:31] 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] jussi01, no , in my experience launchpad doesn't help much [17:31] yeah/!

[18:06] 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] Where does linux store its boot kickstarts?

Can someone explain why defragmenting isn't necessary with an ext3 filesystem? [18:06] 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] 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] !defrag | snowdonkey [18:06] 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] firecrotch: ok cool [18:07] unagi: Nice, thanks.

[18:27] Welcome back, Dunas [18:27] firecrotch: microcode error "bcm43xx_microcode.fw" not available or load failed [18:27] firecrotch: it keeps looping over this line at some interval and asks me for walmik-laptop login and password [18:27] Thank you. [18:28] 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.

[18:36] sub[t]rnl: so there is no boot log now? [18:36] well, I'm guessing it gets written to /dev/console, so, nowhere [18:37] :/ [18:37] you can install a prior version of bootlogd to get it working again, sec [18:37] https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/98955 [18:37] down at the bottom is a .tar.gz that is working [18:37] I might try a different distribution at this rate.
