| feierfox | how to auto-shut-down my PC?? | 00:48 |
| Liono_ | i need a script that runs on boot. and soon after kde lauches and desktop is visible, it locks screen. 2. i need the script to lock screen 'after every 30 minuts of unlock' is this right :? | 00:48 |
| Liono_ | activate screen "DISPLAY=:0.0 kdesktop_lock --forceunlock" | 00:48 |
| Liono_ | set timeout "at now +60min 'kdesktop_lock --forcelock'" | 00:48 |
| feierfox | : how to auto-shut-down my PC? | 00:48 |
| Dr_willis | when do you want it to shut down? | 00:49 |
| tekteen | do you want it to always shutdown at the same time? | 00:50 |
| feierfox | half hour | 00:50 |
| feierfox | after a | 00:50 |
| feierfox | just need a command | 00:51 |
| feierfox | want to go to bed now | 00:51 |
| Dr_willis | halt, or shutdown command. | 00:51 |
| Dr_willis | but some how it needs to get ran as root in a half an hr. | 00:51 |
| feierfox | and want to shut down my pc a haldf hour later | 00:51 |
| Dr_willis | I got my halt command set SUID. (which is not a good idea) , so i could just make a little script that waits 1/2 an hr. then runs it as my user. | 00:51 |
| Dr_willis | guess ya could use the at command, with sudo. | 00:52 |
| scjp_ | ld, ? | 00:52 |
| tekteen | the at command? | 00:52 |
| Dr_willis | man at | 00:53 |
| Dr_willis | at executes commands at a specified time. | 00:53 |
| feierfox | shutdown -t 1800 means it will shut down in an half hour? | 00:53 |
| tekteen | echo "shutdown -h now" | at +30 min | 00:53 |
| tekteen | no | 00:54 |
| Dr_willis | Other valid forâ | 00:54 |
| Dr_willis | mats are +m, where m is the number of minutes | 00:54 |
| feierfox | hm? | 00:54 |
| tekteen | with sudo | 00:54 |
| tekteen | echo "shutdown -h now" | sudo at +30 min | 00:54 |

| Liono_ | how to auto run a script at boot and keep it running when a user logs in. (in a way that the user or any other user cant stop that script from running or delete the file or logs out of it)? | 01:01 |
| Dr_willis | depends on what its doing. | 01:02 |
| Dr_willis | /etc/rc.local is one place to start things | 01:02 |
| Liono_ | but that will run a thing for ALL users. | 01:06 |
| Dr_willis | rc.local gets ran befor X even starts up. | 01:06 |
| Liono_ | right? | 01:06 |
| Dr_willis | it gets ran once.. at system boot. | 01:06 |

| yassine_ | i've just installed kubuntu 7.10 kde4..... and i want to install kde3.5.8.. wich commande do i have to execute?? | 01:06 |
| Liono_ | Dr_willis and it continues for ever? | 01:07 |
| Liono_ | Dr_willis and it continues running for ever? | 01:07 |
| Dr_willis | Liono_, basicially. Unless you some how Kill what you ran. or the program exits. :) | 01:07 |
| Dr_willis | I normally use rc.local to run a few services I made up. | 01:07 |
| SlimeyPete | yassine_: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop will probably work, but I'm not 100% sure. | 01:07 |
| Liono_ | is there a way that in a user login say 'user1' who is not root or admin. a script is run by a sudoer /admin on boot (so he cant stop it) ? | 01:09 |
| Liono_ | Dr_willis ^ | 01:09 |

| yassine_ | SlimeyPete: i wanted to be sure, it's : sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop..... thks | 01:10 |
| Dr_willis | or other ways.. how do you expect a user to run somthing. befor the user logs in? :) ya could use su in rc.local to runs omthing as a different user i guess.. dependiong onwhat you are running | 01:10 |

| adrock358 | got a question-ola here | 01:17 |
| adrock358 | after I update my system my video card gets screwy, and I can't boot up. I see all lines of colors and stuff. the only way to fix it is if i unplug my computer to reset the ide settings. | 01:18 |
| adrock358 | Anybody have any suggestions? I am a complete noob. | 01:18 |
| Dr_willis | ide settings? How the heck are you resetting ide settings? | 01:19 |
| Dr_willis | How did you install the video card drivers in the first place? what is the video card? | 01:19 |
| adrock358 | well, i don't know what it is. it says something about ide settings | 01:19 |
| Dr_willis | IDE is the hard drive - nothingtodo with the video. | 01:19 |
| adrock358 | i didn't install the video card. just installed ubuntu from live cd | 01:20 |
| scjp_ | ld, yes i did | 01:20 |
| Dr_willis | after installing - one of the first things todo is install the proper video card drivers for your video card. | 01:20 |
| ld | scjp_: i'm downloading oracle-xe now, and i'll try to install and run it | 01:20 |
| scjp_ | ld, but there is no "/etc/init.d/oracle-xe" file | 01:20 |
| adrock358 | hmmm. cool. didn't know that. | 01:20 |
| Dr_willis | same thing i do in windows. :) heh heh.. | 01:20 |
| adrock358 | is there a way to find out the name of my card? | 01:20 |
| ld | scjp_: the package gets 4 mins to download | 01:20 |
| adrock358 | yeah. i do it in windows too. | 01:21 |
| scjp_ | ld, which i needed it to configure oracle-xe | 01:21 |
| Dr_willis | its your machine.. look in the docs? inside the case? what drivers do you install in windows? | 01:21 |
| scjp_ | ld, i hope you will be able to configure the oracle-xe and then send me the missing files i dont have | 01:21 |
| ld | scjp_: what os are you using? | 01:21 |
| scjp_ | ld, i am using ubuntu, kubuntu both | 01:21 |

| Dr_willis | Its possible your Monitor is not set right. also. | 01:54 |
| Artimus | biovore: Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" | 01:55 |
| Artimus | Dr_willis: It's set to the same values I've been using for 4 years | 01:55 |
| Artimus | I blame the nvidia driver for this... | 01:55 |
| Dr_willis | Artimus, possibially true. :) | 01:55 |
| biovore | possibly.. nvidia does like to do weird stuff.. | 01:56 |

| Dr_willis | ubuntu_, you can 'chroot' over to the hd's system with the proper use of the chroot command.. depends on what you are trying to do as to whats best. | 02:10 |
| ubuntu_ | just log in really | 02:10 |
| ubuntu_ | _maybe_ work on vega strike development | 02:11 |
| the_darkside_986 | afaik, everything admin must be done with "sudo" on the live cd. like grub and mounting. i know this from experience :| | 02:11 |
| scjp_ | ld666, command not found same error message even the damn file oracle-xe exists | 02:12 |
| ld666 | scjp_: try to figure out which command was not found | 02:13 |
| scjp_ | ld666, oracle-xe command | 02:13 |
| oem | hello | 02:14 |
| oem | need to connect to my openssh-server | 02:14 |
| ld666 | scjp_: maybe you forgot to 'chmod +x /etc/init.d/oracle-xe' | 02:14 |
| scjp_ | ld666, same thing | 02:15 |
| scjp_ | ld666, just wana cry | 02:15 |
| scjp_ | ld666, should i change the port number or leave it as default 8080 | 02:17 |
| Liono_ | how to log all the "screen unlocking events" for ever. and continuous even resumable after shutdowns ? | 02:17 |
| ld666 | if you created /etc/init.d/oracle-xe file properly and you made it executable, there should be no error like 'oracle-xe command not found' | 02:17 |
| scjp_ | ld666, should i change the port number or leave it as default 8080 | 02:18 |
| ld666 | scjp_: if there is no other software binding to that port, there should be no reson to change it | 02:18 |
| the_darkside_986 | i can't find the local config file for the KDE top-menu-bar... i want to put a Kubuntu icon in it and resize it to half size. by default it is too large and looks out of place. any ideas? | 02:18 |
| Dr_willis | the #kde guys may know. | 02:20 |
| scjp_ | ld666, now got loads of errors | 02:20 |
| the_darkside_986 | oh ok | 02:20 |
| ld666 | scjp_: you can check if any software is using port 8080 by commands: 'fuser -n tcp 8080' or 'netstat -nls | grep 8080' | 02:20 |
| ld666 | scjp_: tell me exactly the error messages | 02:20 |

| ubuntu_ | apt-get update is not considered _admin_ ? | 02:21 |
| ubuntu_ | cant run apt-get install even with sudo | 02:22 |
| Dr_willis | Installing stuff to when booting off the live cd - with the apt-get stuff.. is not doable i think. | 02:23 |
| ld666 | scjp_: if the default /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/listener.ora file could not be created during installation, there would be a message about it | 02:23 |
| Dr_willis | If you chroot to the installed system. you can then install stuff | 02:23 |
| ld666 | scjp_: please try to pass log from installing the oracle-xe package | 02:23 |
| scjp_ | ld666, okie there is no file created at the name of listener.ora at that directory | 02:24 |
| scjp_ | ld666, if you have a look on your installation directory you should have listener.ora file, if you can pass me that one, i will just make one | 02:25 |
| ld666 | scjp_: that should not be the case here. either oracle gets installed and creates listener.ora, or it had fatal error during installation... | 02:25 |
| scjp_ | ld666, okie let me pass you the log fie | 02:26 |
| ubuntu_ | did i say thanks | 02:26 |
| ubuntu_ | thanks | 02:26 |
| scjp_ | ld666, how should i find the log file, r we looking for the listener.log file | 02:27 |

| ld666 | scjp_: that is not ordinary... | 02:28 |
| scjp_ | ld666, okie there is just only one log file called listener.log in the log folder | 02:29 |
| Dr_willis | adrock358, what was yiour chipset anyway? | 02:30 |
| ld666 | scjp_: i think private chat started working from now... it will be much easier if we could paste some lines instantenously... | 02:31 |

| kyled185 | *confused* | 02:45 |
| kyled185 | Dr_willis: were you talking to me? | 02:46 |
| Dr_willis | its possible your cpu isent throttling down. kyled185 | 02:46 |
| Dr_willis | theres some extra power saving tools/packages you couldisntall. or test out the powertop tool and its suggestions. | 02:47 |
| Dr_willis | !powertop | 02:47 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about powertop - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:47 |
| kyled185 | Dr_willis: well, the nvidia proprietary driver is retarded and causes glitches/hangs when it speeds down/up so the current workaround is to disable that | 02:48 |
| kyled185 | Dr_willis: would that make heat billow up from underneath my laptop's keyboard and make my fingers sweat? | 02:49 |
| Dr_willis | Yep. Video card and cpu run so hot these days. without the right drivers they get real warm. | 02:50 |
| kyled185 | meh, nvidia might have easier drivers to install, but they are just crap when it comes down to it | 02:51 |

| Dr_willis | sounds bad... | 02:53 |
| eddy | HI again... | 02:53 |
| Jahromeo | do adept/synaptic do the same thing | 02:53 |
| Jahromeo | just diff ways of doing it? | 02:53 |
| Jahromeo | had synaptic in pclinux | 02:53 |
| Dr_willis | they are all front ends to the apt-get tools | 02:53 |
| Jahromeo | k | 02:53 |
| biovore | there graphical front ends to the CLI apt-get command | 02:53 |
| Israphel | they do the same | 02:54 |
| eddy | someone know about a anjuta anjuta tutorial | 02:54 |
| Israphel | with different colour | 02:54 |
| Dr_willis | if apt-get is core dumping.. thats bad.. | 02:54 |
| eddy | in spanish preferably | 02:54 |
| Israphel | en gallego, a ver si encuentro | 02:54 |
| eddy | spanish avaliable | 02:54 |
| Jahromeo | jerome@AbadonwareLinux:~$ sudo apt-get install skype-common | 02:54 |
| Jahromeo | Reading package lists... Done | 02:54 |
| Jahromeo | Segmentation fault (core dumped) | 02:54 |
| biovore | probably a hardware problem | 02:55 |
| Jahromeo | jerome@AbadonwareLinux:~$ sudo apt-get install synaptic | 02:55 |
| Jahromeo | Reading package lists... Done | 02:55 |
| Jahromeo | Segmentation fault (core dumped) | 02:55 |
| Jahromeo | what the hell is up with that | 02:55 |
| Dr_willis | or a nasty currupted data file for the apt settings | 02:55 |
| biovore | could be a corrupted file somewhere | 02:55 |
| Jahromeo | my adept etc is broken | 02:55 |
| Jahromeo | my adept auto crashes when opened | 02:55 |
| biovore | or hardware failure | 02:55 |
| Israphel | tutorial http://barrapunto.com/articles/07/09/02/2256235.shtml | 02:55 |
| Jahromeo | i had no issues in pclinux | 02:55 |
| Dr_willis | Jahromeo, yes.. we get it.. :) somthingis broke with your apt system. | 02:55 |
| Israphel | eddy http://barrapunto.com/articles/07/09/02/2256235.shtml | 02:55 |
| Jahromeo | anyone care to help me fix it? this is a bloody fresh install | 02:56 |
| Jahromeo | only installed it today and i havnt even used adept yet | 02:56 |
| Dr_willis | for a start you may want to boot the live cd. and fsck the filesystem. | 02:56 |
| Dr_willis | its possible theres some disk issue. | 02:56 |
| biovore | Jahromeo: dmesg have any weirdness in it about your harddisk.. | 02:56 |
| kyled185 | or run memtest86 | 02:56 |
| Dr_willis | yea - check dmesg output also. | 02:57 |
| Jahromeo | you guys are missing the point - this partition just worked 100% with kde pclinux | 02:57 |
| Jahromeo | 100% | 02:57 |
| Jahromeo | and its just been formatted again | 02:57 |
| biovore | that dosn't mean squat torwards what might be wrong | 02:57 |
| Dr_willis | Jahromeo, so what do you want us to do then? It used to work.. your logic implies that its still working.... | 02:57 |
| Jahromeo | problem with my kbuntu install came when it was mirroring repos it got stuck forever then fsckd up sources list | 02:57 |
| Dr_willis | yep. Possible the adept packages/settings got messed up. | 02:58 |
| ign0ramus | hello all. could someone please look at this error message and perhaps give me some insight as to what's going wrong? --> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56287/ | 02:58 |
| Jahromeo | no way to just fix adept from konsole? | 02:58 |
| Dr_willis | try an 'apt-get --version' command ? :) see if tha works | 02:58 |
| Dr_willis | adept is a front end to the apt-get commands. | 02:58 |
| Jahromeo | apt 0.7.6ubuntu14 for i386 compiled on Oct 15 2007 20:39:10 | 02:58 |
| Dr_willis | if those are crashing - adept aint going tobe working either. | 02:58 |
| Dr_willis | at leat it dident crash. :) | 02:59 |
| Dr_willis | try a 'sudo apt-get update' ? see if that crashes | 02:59 |
| maltron | Hi all. Can anyone help me get sound working on my gutsy 64 bit system? I have a Soundblaster live card (I've tried several others as well) and so far as I can tell the sound system is up and running, but I get no output | 02:59 |
| biovore | lappy% md5sum /usr/bin/apt-get | 02:59 |
| biovore | 831133ffe61cd4f97d02fbe61c3f20ec /usr/bin/apt-get -- x86 | 02:59 |
| biovore | SB Live should work.. | 02:59 |
| biovore | use alsamixer from the command line.. | 03:00 |
| biovore | the sound setup is kinda funky in my opinion | 03:00 |
| Jahromeo | Segmentation fault (core dumped) - apt get keeps throwing that out | 03:00 |
| maltron | biovore: funky in a good way? | 03:00 |
| Israphel | we are two | 03:00 |
| kyled185 | maltron: I used to have a soundblaster card and everytime I installed a new linux distro it would default to be muted | 03:00 |
| Israphel | i don't think so | 03:00 |
| biovore | maltron: funky in a bad way.. | 03:00 |
| biovore | maltron: all the sound drivers all homebrew affairs | 03:01 |
| maltron | i see... | 03:01 |
| biovore | maltron: some cards work well others don't | 03:01 |
| Dr_willis | Jahromeo, i would sya ask in #ubuntu , someone in there may be better at trouble shooting apt problems. | 03:01 |
| Jahromeo | thanks | 03:01 |
| biovore | Jahromeo: what the md5 check sum on /usr/bin/apt-get? | 03:01 |
| maltron | biovore, kyled185: yeah, I've swapped cards a few times. NOrmally they just work though. On this machine I used to get sound, but now nothing... bit confused. | 03:02 |
| biovore | !sound | 03:02 |
| ubotu | 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 | 03:02 |
| Dr_willis | if youve swapped out sound cards. You may need to reconfogiure alsa to see/use the new card | 03:02 |
| oloughlin75 | alsaconf might help whoever is having sound issues | 03:02 |
| adrock358 | Dr_willis. I'm back. did you mean the video buffer? the options are 1 and 8. | 03:02 |
| maltron | Dr_willis: as in "sudo apt-get reconfigure alsa"? | 03:03 |
| Dr_willis | adrock358, no idea. im just repeating what ive seen on the forums/threads. a lot of them are out of date. | 03:03 |
| adrock358 | thanks | 03:03 |

| BluesKaj | ok, then just exit | 03:18 |
| maltron | oh hang on | 03:19 |
| maltron | it just worked then | 03:19 |
| maltron | maybe because some software was installing | 03:19 |

| maltron | BluesKaj: well the modules seem to be loaded | 03:24 |
| BluesKaj | that's all I can suggest for now ...unless someone else has some ideas, cuz it looks like the driver isn't installed | 03:24 |
| maltron | BluesKaj: from lspci: snd_pcm 94344 5 snd_emu10k1,snd_via82xx,snd_via82xx_modem,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss | 03:25 |
| maltron | emu10k1 is my card! | 03:25 |
| BluesKaj | yes and the driver looks like it' isn't installed | 03:26 |
| maltron | well it comes up in lsmod... I thought that meant it was installed? I'll check the internet anyway, but as far as I can tell the kernel modules are installed | 03:27 |
| BluesKaj | if alsa doesn't see the driver , that no such device message usually comes up | 03:28 |
| oloughlin75 | maltron: did you try doing alsaconf in terminal? | 03:28 |
| maltron | oloughlin75: you mean asoundconf | 03:28 |
| maltron | ? | 03:28 |
| oloughlin75 | no, alsaconf | 03:28 |
| BluesKaj | alsaconf ? | 03:29 |
| oloughlin75 | sudo alsaconf | 03:29 |
| maltron | -bash: alsaconf: command not found | 03:29 |
| oloughlin75 | hmm, must be new to alsa 1.0.15/16? | 03:29 |
| maltron | I tried looking for it but couldn't find it in the repositories | 03:29 |
| maltron | I thought you must mean asoundconf | 03:29 |
| oloughlin75 | ALSA CONFIGURATOR, it scans your hardware and looks for and isntalls the right driver | 03:30 |
| maltron | what package is it in? | 03:30 |
| oloughlin75 | maltron: im guessing alsa-utils | 03:30 |
| maltron | already installed, no such command | 03:31 |
| oloughlin75 | must be from the newer version of alsa | 03:31 |

| oloughlin75 | so everything gets loaded fresh | 03:45 |
| maltron | ok | 03:45 |
| oloughlin75 | maltron: have you ever had sound with your sound card? | 03:46 |
| maltron | oloughlin75: with a previous card, yes, but this one was given to me by a friend, because I thought the old one must have been busted | 03:47 |
| maltron | I also have onboard sound which doesn't work | 03:47 |
| oloughlin75 | whats the new card? | 03:47 |
| maltron | 00:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 08 | 03:47 |
| BluesKaj | SB cards are pretty std ...don't see why alsa doesn't see it | 03:47 |
| maltron | BluesKaj: could it be because the cards are conflicting? | 03:48 |
| maltron | The machine came with a different sound card which seemed to work for a while | 03:48 |
| juan_ | alguien habla español?? | 03:48 |
| oloughlin75 | !es | juan | 03:48 |
| ubotu | juan: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 03:48 |
| maltron | I think at the time I had problems with my headphones, so I thought it was the card and replaced it | 03:48 |
| maltron | headphones were dodgy, so I solved that problem, but the sound hasn't really worked since | 03:49 |
| BluesKaj | maltron, 2 sound cards ? | 03:49 |
| maltron | 1 onboard, 1 pci | 03:49 |
| maltron | then I swapped the pci one for a different one, then I swapped it again for the SB | 03:49 |
| BluesKaj | oh geez , whay didn't you say so ? BIOS has to be reset in Peripherals to disable one card , you make the choice | 03:50 |
| tj__ | how would i switch compiz on and off i can't find the option | 03:50 |
| === michi is now known as silverpower | ||
| maltron | BluesKaj: Sorry mate, I thought I did! | 03:51 |
| maltron | BluesKaj: thing is it came with two cards and worked when I first got it... okay, so reboot, go into bios and disable the onboard sound? I do remember trying that a while back and couldn't find anything in the bios, but I'll give it another go | 03:52 |
| maltron | back in a minute | 03:52 |
| oloughlin75 | !compiz | 03:52 |
| ubotu | Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion | 03:52 |
| BluesKaj | maltron, can you do that , open the BIOS and disable the onboard (most Likely) | 03:52 |
| maltron | will do | 03:52 |
| maltron | back in a couple of minutes | 03:52 |
| maltron | rebooting.... | 03:52 |
| tj__ | i have it installed i just want to switch it off when i go to play a game | 03:53 |
| BluesKaj | maltron," peripherals " in the BIOS | 03:53 |
| tj__ | and does anyone know where the mic settings are | 03:53 |
| BluesKaj | alsamixer , then kmix | 03:54 |
| tj__ | just type in cli? | 03:54 |
| BluesKaj | alsamixer yes | 03:54 |
| BluesKaj | kmix is the little speaker icon in the panel | 03:55 |
| tj__ | ok alsamixer is up what do i do | 03:55 |
| BluesKaj | unmute any ctrls with the M key , then use the uo arrow key to increase the volume to 71 or so | 03:56 |
| BluesKaj | up arrow | 03:56 |
| BluesKaj | unmute = 00\ | 03:57 |
| maltron | BluesKaj: sorry, was rebooting | 03:57 |
| maltron | I disabled onboard sound | 03:57 |
| BluesKaj | maltron, did you find the peripherals ? | 03:57 |
| BluesKaj | good | 03:57 |
| maltron | no, just onboard sound, and I disabled it | 03:57 |
| maltron | it was in the "onboard devices" menu | 03:58 |
| maltron | ok | 03:58 |
| BluesKaj | now run cat /proc/asound/cards | 03:58 |
| maltron | still getting two sound cards | 03:58 |
| BluesKaj | gawd | 03:58 |
| maltron | lemme try again | 03:59 |
| maltron | I'll be back in a couple of minutes. Rebooting again! | 03:59 |
| oloughlin75 | maltron: it might be easiest to just compile from source | 03:59 |
| maltron | hmm, not keen on that route. Alsa and source code is painful! Plus, I know it worked once upon a time, so I'd like to fix it. I'm sure it can be done... | 04:00 |
| tj__ | ok my mic works but not in teamspeak and i hear a echo of everything | 04:02 |
| Liono_ | wine.. and virtualisation? any other method used to play non native linux games? | 04:03 |
| tj__ | even typeing its kinda cool | 04:03 |
| tj__ | cedega | 04:03 |
| tj__ | liono- cedega | 04:03 |
| hydrogen | cedega is wine | 04:04 |
| hydrogen | pretty much | 04:04 |
| tj__ | yeah true but its tweaked to run games better u can get it free off thepiratebay.org | 04:04 |
| oloughlin75 | !piracy | 04:05 |
| ubotu | piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 04:05 |
| tj__ | they ripped off wine and used their code iots not piracy | 04:06 |
| BluesKaj | oloughlin75, you should direct the post to tj__ | 04:06 |
| maltron | oloughlin75, BluesKaj: okay, I have sound. | 04:06 |
| maltron | oloughlin75, BluesKaj: strangely alsaplayer doesn't work still | 04:07 |
| maltron | same error message as before | 04:07 |
| maltron | but mplayer works | 04:07 |
| Dr_willis | cedega is legal.. thepiratebay - is questionable.. :) | 04:07 |
| tj__ | got my mic working thanks and no echo | 04:07 |
| BluesKaj | alsaplayer is iffy , stick with amarok | 04:07 |
| maltron | BluesKaj: yeah, cool. Just thought it should work with alsa! | 04:07 |
| tj__ | thanks good doctor | 04:07 |
| adrock358 | Dr_willis. The solution was to install start-up manager, and fix my screen resolution. | 04:07 |
| oloughlin75 | maltron: sound isnt enough for you?! :D | 04:08 |
| BluesKaj | maltron, alsa is still being used with amarok | 04:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and getting cedega from the pirate bay is not legal. | 04:08 |
| adrock358 | Does anyone know what the best streaming media prog is? | 04:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and supporting cedega is not right. | 04:08 |
| maltron | BluesKaj: yeah, amarok works. I mean I guess that I thought alsaplayer would have been the ideal tool to test alsa, but I guess not! | 04:08 |
| maltron | BluesKaj, oloughlin: thanks heaps guys, I really appreciate it | 04:08 |
| oloughlin75 | maltron: just dont break it! | 04:09 |
| maltron | hehehe | 04:09 |
| maltron | no worries | 04:09 |
| maltron | I'll keep that in mind! | 04:09 |
| BluesKaj | yeah maltron , very few ppl use the alsaplayer | 04:09 |
| BluesKaj | well folks , it's off to the sack time | 04:09 |
| oloughlin75 | what -is- alsaplayer? | 04:09 |
| maltron | good night | 04:09 |
| BluesKaj | nite all | 04:09 |
| oloughlin75 | night | 04:10 |
| maltron | oloughlin75: alsaplayer is a redundant program which clearly nobody should ever use because it doesn't actually work! | 04:10 |
| oloughlin75 | alrighty -- i dont think i have it on my system anyway | 04:10 |
| maltron | i installed it I think just a few minutes ago, as I thought, given that it's an alsa program, that it would be useful | 04:11 |
| maltron | actually it isn't! | 04:11 |
| adrock358 | streaming media players anyone? i installed vlc, but it won't play from this one site. I'll have to look into that. | 04:11 |
| oloughlin75 | adrock358: try the mplayer mozilla plugin | 04:11 |
| oloughlin75 | !find mplayer mozzila | 04:12 |
| ubotu | Found: kmplayer-base, kmplayer-konq-plugins, kmplayer, kmplayer-doc, python-templayer (and 12 others) | 04:12 |

| oloughlin75 | !find mplayer mozilla | 04:12 |
| oloughlin75 | WhereAmI_: werent they like $500 a few months ago? | 04:13 |
| WhereAmI_ | kinda | 04:13 |
| WhereAmI_ | 320$ still on the official site | 04:13 |
| WhereAmI_ | gotta love technology | 04:13 |
| WhereAmI_ | but this is the cheapest one I've seen recently | 04:13 |
| tj__ | how do i switch desktop manager from compiz | 04:14 |
| oloughlin75 | tj__: in termal type sudo metacity --replace & | 04:15 |

| oloughlin75 | sudo apt-get install compiz-kde compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra | 04:20 |
| oloughlin75 | compizconfig-settings-manager emerald librsvg2-common | 04:20 |

| oloughlin75 | Jahromeo: | 04:25 |

| oloughlin75 | and type in | 04:25 |
| oloughlin75 | kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:25 |
| oloughlin75 | the driver is under the device section | 04:25 |
| oloughlin75 | Driver"nvidia" or "nv" | 04:26 |
| Jahromeo | it says nv | 04:26 |
| Jahromeo | i want to know what version | 04:27 |
| oloughlin75 | oh, im not sure how to tel which version specifically | 04:27 |
| biovore | nv is the opensource driver.. nvidia is the closed source one from nvidia | 04:27 |
| Jahromeo | isnt there a driver version like pclinux has 100.xx and 169.xx | 04:27 |
| Jahromeo | etc | 04:27 |
| biovore | yes | 04:27 |
| biovore | its in nvidia-settings | 04:28 |
| biovore | I think its also shows up in dmesg | 04:28 |
| biovore | the nvidia driver from the repos I think is 169.xxx | 04:28 |
| Jahromeo | where do i find nvidia settings? | 04:29 |
| biovore | open a shell | 04:29 |
| biovore | type nvidia-settings | 04:29 |
| biovore | not everything is in the gui | 04:29 |
| Dr_willis | There is a gui program :) its just not in the menus | 04:29 |
| Jahromeo | why is compiz not on a menu | 04:30 |
| Dr_willis | nvid<tab> | 04:30 |
| Dr_willis | ccsm is the compiz settings tool. Its not installed by default | 04:30 |
| Dr_willis | !ccsm | 04:30 |
| ubotu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 04:30 |

| Jahromeo | though that compiz-kde or kde-compiz whatever it is woulda installed the manager | 04:31 |
| Jahromeo | stupid it doesnt | 04:31 |
| Jahromeo | but thanks for help | 04:31 |
| Dr_willis | compiz is not considerd part of the kde stuff.. | 04:31 |
| Dr_willis | !compiz | 04:31 |

| biovore | compviz and kde don't mix all that well | 04:31 |
| Dr_willis | gives the info on getting it going. | 04:32 |
| oloughlin75 | biovore: they work alright | 04:32 |
| Dr_willis | kde4 is not going to play nicely with compiz either. :) | 04:32 |
| Dr_willis | of course - some wouls say that compiz has been pushed out of the nest befor it was ready for primetime | 04:32 |
| * Dr_willis mixxes his metaphores. | 04:32 | |
| Dr_willis | Jahromeo, ccsm is not installed by default by ubuntu either. Its considerd a bit too complex | 04:33 |
| Dr_willis | i think there is a cleaned up ccsm in the works. | 04:33 |
| Jahromeo | weird pclinux u just dl compiz and its there | 04:33 |
| Dr_willis | go use pclinux then | 04:33 |
| Dr_willis | They are not related to ubuntu./kuubntu - so they can do whatever they want. :) | 04:33 |
| Jahromeo | heh i just came back from it - repos updates are too slow | 04:33 |
| biovore | install ubuntu (gnome).. there by default | 04:33 |
| Jahromeo | infequent | 04:33 |
| oloughlin75 | Jahromeo: pclinux is meant to be very very user friendly | 04:33 |
| Jahromeo | and its based on dying mandiva stuff | 04:34 |
| Jahromeo | thats no longer being updated | 04:34 |
| Jahromeo | so no thanks :P | 04:34 |
| Dr_willis | How much do you want to throw on a user.. and how much space do you have.. and what do you want to be the 'officiaally supported' bits.. is the big limitations | 04:34 |
| Jahromeo | if i already have a version of something will apt-get prompt for overwrite? | 04:35 |
| oloughlin75 | is there an enlightenment installer for buntu? | 04:35 |
| oloughlin75 | Jahromeo: it wont install it | 04:35 |
| Jahromeo | thanks | 04:35 |
| oloughlin75 | Jahromeo: itll just say up to day | 04:35 |
| oloughlin75 | date | 04:35 |
| Dr_willis | There is enlightment for ubuntu, and theres the enligutment desktop spinoffs called 'gOS' and 'gebuntu' as well | 04:36 |
| Jahromeo | k trying compiz on here to see if its any diff | 04:36 |
| oloughlin75 | i installed gOS earlier and is pissed me off | 04:36 |
| oloughlin75 | i liked the desktop though :/ | 04:36 |
| Dr_willis | gOS is lacking in ways - as is gebuntu | 04:36 |
| Dr_willis | i dident even find the desktop that much of an impreoivemnt | 04:36 |
| oloughlin75 | i liked how it mixed fluxbox and gnome features | 04:37 |
| Jahromeo | is there a wkthru for apt-get e.g. how to look for things in the cache i keep forgetting commands | 04:37 |
| oloughlin75 | Jahromeo: man apt-get | 04:37 |
| asdfasd | i'm buying a video card--is nvidia still better for linux? | 04:38 |
| Jahromeo | oooo man gives a manual of a command? | 04:38 |
| Jahromeo | more supported than ati yeah | 04:38 |
| Jahromeo | and officially supported better | 04:38 |
| oloughlin75 | Jahromeo: man is quite useful :) | 04:38 |
| biovore | yeah.. nvidia is the best.. followed by intel.. then ati | 04:38 |
| asdfasd | thanks, guys | 04:38 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. fluxbox? it was using Enlightment as far as i saw oloughlin75 | 04:39 |
| oloughlin75 | Dr_willis: no i mean enlightment had features of flux and gnome | 04:40 |
| Dr_willis | oloughlin75, except that enlightment was around way way befor those 2 :) | 04:40 |
| Dr_willis | enlightment has an intereesting history. | 04:40 |
| oloughlin75 | did it have the click for menu befor flux/blackbox? | 04:41 |
| oloughlin75 | it would be nice to have the mac os x like bar with the effects that gos had | 04:41 |
| Dr_willis | enlightment has gone through so many reinventions its scary | 04:41 |
| oloughlin75 | its on r17 i think now | 04:42 |
| Dr_willis | its the always-a-work-inprogress-windowmanager-thatgres-into-a-desktop | 04:42 |
| oloughlin75 | is it installable? like enlightenment-desktop or something? | 04:42 |
| oloughlin75 | lol | 04:42 |
| Dr_willis | Not noticed. parts are int he repos. but no -desktop package | 04:43 |
| Dr_willis | You can set up the gos/gebuntu repos and isntall their stuff under ubuntu | 04:43 |
| oloughlin75 | i could figure out how to install anything iin gos :/ | 04:43 |
| oloughlin75 | always missing -something- | 04:43 |
| Dr_willis | use the package manager same as ubuntu :) | 04:43 |
| oloughlin75 | ya but alsa in the repos is old and doesnt support my card | 04:44 |
| Dr_willis | alsa is always old. :) | 04:44 |
| oloughlin75 | so i compile from source -- which i couldnt in gos | 04:44 |
| oloughlin75 | didnt have kernal source | 04:44 |
| Dr_willis | never noticed.. they are using ubuntu as the core. so you should of been able to. | 04:44 |
| oloughlin75 | tried getting it and it kept failing | 04:44 |
| Dr_willis | i went the other way and installed ubuntu first.. then gebuntu/gos | 04:44 |
| biovore | gos has all that stuff.. it the ubuntu base + enligtenment.. uses the same repos I think.. | 04:45 |
| oloughlin75 | how do i get the enlightenment part? | 04:45 |
| Dr_willis | !find enlightment | 04:45 |
| ubotu | Package/file enlightment does not exist in gutsy | 04:46 |
| Dr_willis | it was int he repos.. if i spel it right. | 04:46 |
| Dr_willis | gos/gebuntu uses a teweaked version | 04:46 |
| Dr_willis | http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2007/12/steps-to-install-gos-on-ubuntu-gutsy.html | 04:47 |
| oloughlin75 | thanks Dr_willis | 04:48 |
| Dr_willis | http://geubuntu.wikispaces.com/Installing+Geubuntu+from+packages | 04:48 |
| Dr_willis | amazing what you find when you google. :) | 04:48 |
| oloughlin75 | i found a different one lol | 04:49 |
| oloughlin75 | oh i think compiz is messing up | 04:49 |
| Dr_willis | gos wont be using compiz :) | 04:50 |
| oloughlin75 | what the remove command for compuz? sudo apt-get purge compiz*? | 04:52 |
| Dr_willis | i wouldent suggest removing it. | 04:52 |
| Dr_willis | it can cause other issues | 04:52 |
| oloughlin75 | .......// boo | 04:53 |
| Dr_willis | go ahead then..... have fun | 04:53 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 04:53 |
| oloughlin75 | i dont remember if i set compiz to load on startup | 04:53 |
| Dr_willis | that was an issue i had.. it still wanted to start even after it was removed... | 04:54 |
| oloughlin75 | switching to gos brb :) | 04:54 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu/kubuntu some how rembered it | 04:54 |
| oloughlin75 | hola :D | 04:56 |
| adrock358 | do you guys know if you have to open ports for streaming media? | 04:57 |
| oloughlin75 | no | 04:57 |
| Dr_willis | there shouldent be any closed ports by default | 04:57 |
| oloughlin75 | adrock358: the mplayer mozilla plugin works well | 04:57 |
| adrock358 | i don't know what i use, but it works fine. it's just kind of choppy. but i'm on a wireless connection though | 04:58 |
| adrock358 | do you have to open ports though for streaming? | 04:59 |
| oloughlin75 | no | 04:59 |
| adrock358 | i'll try to edit firefox so it uses mplayer for streaming. thank you oloughlin75. | 04:59 |
| Jahromeo | does kubuntu have any form of vnc client/server installed by default | 05:00 |
| oloughlin75 | Dr_willis: do you know what the gos launcher bar is called? | 05:00 |
| Dr_willis | nope | 05:01 |
| Dr_willis | I found gos lacking in other ways.. so i dumped it after about 2 hrs.. | 05:01 |
| oloughlin75 | eww it puts all the files on top of eachother | 05:01 |
| Jahromeo | dr_willis was that a nope to vnc ? | 05:02 |
| oloughlin75 | Dr_willis: i install the real one earlier today and dumped it | 05:02 |
| Jahromeo | does kubuntu have any form of vnc client/server installed by default | 05:02 |
| Dr_willis | kde and gnome both have a vnc client/server built in. :) | 05:02 |
| Dr_willis | or you can install others. | 05:02 |
| wad | I booted off the kubuntu 7.1 CD, did "apt-get install openssh-server", and now I'm trying to connect to the box with ssh. What's the default username and password? (The server is a pain to get to physically) | 05:02 |
| Dr_willis | krdc or somthing is the kde one. | 05:02 |
| wad | s/7.1/7.10/ | 05:03 |
| Jahromeo | thanks dr_willis - no tightvnc or such installed by default? | 05:03 |
| Dr_willis | wad, i imagine you need to get on the machine and set a password/username the default user is 'ubuntu' but has no password. Not sure ssh will let the users in with no password | 05:04 |
| Dr_willis | Jahromeo, not by default - install tightvnc ifyou want. | 05:04 |
| Dr_willis | I tend to use vnc4server/viewer | 05:04 |
| Dr_willis | or kdes own kdrc | 05:04 |
| wad | Dr_willis: okay, thanks. | 05:04 |
| Jahromeo | cant find tightvnc | 05:06 |
| Jahromeo | but i can find server | 05:06 |
| Jahromeo | heh weird | 05:06 |
| Dr_willis | !find vnc | 05:06 |
| ubotu | Found: libvncserver-dev, xvnc4viewer, directvnc, libsvncpp-dev, libsvncpp0c2a (and 18 others) | 05:06 |
| Dr_willis | !find tightvnc | 05:06 |
| ubotu | Found: tightvncserver, xtightvncviewer, tightvnc-java | 05:06 |
| Dr_willis | I tend touse vnc4server | 05:07 |
| Dr_willis | !find vnc4 | 05:07 |
| ubotu | Found: xvnc4viewer, vnc4-common, vnc4server | 05:07 |
| Jahromeo | ill try tightvnc first using it at work | 05:07 |
| Jahromeo | then ill try vncserver | 05:07 |
| Jahromeo | whats the diff between em? | 05:07 |
| Jahromeo | where does kubuntu hide vnc in the menu? | 05:08 |
| Dr_willis | no idea. thatw why i said the name of the command earlier. :0 | 05:09 |
| Jahromeo | why dont alot of things auto get imported to menus? | 05:10 |
| oloughlin75 | most gui things do | 05:11 |
| Dr_willis | i find the menus are getting way too cluttered as it is | 05:11 |
| Dr_willis | hit alt-space and type a few letters | 05:11 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 05:11 |
| biovore | you can't do everything from a gui.. GUI components in linux are just option limited front ends to gui tools. | 05:12 |
| Dr_willis | katapult is fun | 05:12 |
| biovore | its a nice fast simple calculator too :-P | 05:12 |
| Jahromeo | never seen katapult b4 | 05:12 |
| sparr | katapult is one of those hidden features of kubuntu that no one ever discovers on their own, i think | 05:13 |
| sparr | it was a mystery to me for so long | 05:13 |
| Jahromeo | trying ur vnc , tightvnc sucks on this :( | 05:13 |
| oloughlin75 | so what is it? :D | 05:13 |
| sparr | just popping up "at random" | 05:13 |
| sparr | its a quick launcher, kinda like mac spotlight | 05:13 |
| sparr | or quicksilver | 05:14 |
| sparr | but less powerful | 05:14 |
| Dr_willis | even vista has a feature similer you can get. :) | 05:14 |
| Jahromeo | how come katapult doesnt find firefox | 05:14 |
| Jahromeo | but i have that installed | 05:14 |
| oloughlin75 | it showed a splash and disappeared? | 05:14 |
| sparr | because its crap :) | 05:14 |
| Dr_willis | if you installed firefox recently - i need to reread the menus/cache | 05:14 |
| sparr | oloughlin75: you didnt type... | 05:14 |
| Jahromeo | so e.g. restart | 05:14 |
| Dr_willis | or logout.. | 05:14 |
| Dr_willis | or reboot 1000000000000 times if you want. | 05:14 |
| sparr | katapult is a poor imitation of quicksilver... i wish there was a good file indexing service for linux | 05:14 |
| oloughlin75 | sparr: type what? | 05:14 |
| sparr | id love to have mac's spotlight functionality | 05:15 |
| Dr_willis | or do a song and dance and then logout. :) | 05:15 |
| sparr | oloughlin75: "e" | 05:15 |
| Dr_willis | i always disable indexing. :) | 05:15 |
| Jahromeo | going to sleep thankls for help guys | 05:16 |
| oloughlin75 | how do you get katapult to work? | 05:16 |
| Dr_willis | hit alt-space | 05:16 |
| Dr_willis | i think by default | 05:16 |
| Dr_willis | assuming you dident enavle the 'windows compatiabilty' type layout/keyboard thing | 05:16 |
| oloughlin75 | it shows a splash screen and disappears | 05:16 |
| Dr_willis | type some ltters | 05:17 |
| oloughlin75 | ooooooo | 05:17 |
| Dr_willis | alt-space, then k | 05:17 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 05:17 |
| oloughlin75 | awesom | 05:17 |
| oloughlin75 | thats so obscure | 05:17 |
| eddy | hi again, i already install the wireless driver with ndiswrapper, but when i try to make a iwlist scan or iwconfig the the system said "no wireless extension" | 05:24 |
| eddy | what can i do | 05:25 |
| oloughlin75 | sudo ndiswrapper -m | 05:25 |
| eddy | plzz | 05:25 |
| oloughlin75 | then restart the computer | 05:26 |
| eddy | its only that, restart the computer | 05:26 |
| WhereAmI_ | does anyone else have problems with amarok loading huge collections? | 05:26 |
| eddy | ? | 05:26 |
| WhereAmI_ | like it doesn't load them all? | 05:26 |
| oloughlin75 | WhereAmI_: how big? | 05:26 |
| WhereAmI_ | big | 05:27 |
| oloughlin75 | about how many song? | 05:27 |
| eddy | its really to easy, ok see a | 05:27 |
| WhereAmI_ | let me load it | 05:28 |
| oloughlin75 | WhereAmI_: is it more than like 20k songs? | 05:28 |
| WhereAmI_ | well I got it to load them all | 05:28 |
| WhereAmI_ | I think so | 05:28 |
| oloughlin75 | you need to use mysql | 05:28 |
| WhereAmI_ | hmm | 05:28 |
| WhereAmI_ | I assume theres a guide online? | 05:28 |
| oloughlin75 | ill get you a link | 05:28 |
| oloughlin75 | ya | 05:28 |
| oloughlin75 | the swlite that amarok uses by default is terrible with more than 10k songs | 05:29 |
| charlie | Is there a command to automatically fix permissons? mine are all messed up | 05:29 |
| oloughlin75 | WhereAmI_: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/MySQL_HowTo | 05:30 |
| WhereAmI_ | ok thanks | 05:31 |
| oloughlin75 | first sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client | 05:31 |
| WhereAmI_ | then it should work awesomely? | 05:31 |
| oloughlin75 | then read the mysql setup section | 05:31 |
| oloughlin75 | then in amarok do setting > configure amarok > collection > set database to mysql and enter the info | 05:32 |
| charlie | Is there a command to automatically fix permissons? mine are all messed up | 05:32 |
| oloughlin75 | charlie: permissions on what? | 05:32 |
| charlie | Everything. | 05:33 |
| oloughlin75 | ... | 05:33 |
| charlie | It seems the permissions are messed up everywhere | 05:33 |
| Dr_willis | gee... i would say NO.. :) | 05:33 |
| Dr_willis | heh heh | 05:33 |
| oloughlin75 | what do you mean? | 05:33 |
| charlie | like | 05:33 |
| Dr_willis | since theres a lot of didfferen tperms on different files.. | 05:33 |
| charlie | Nano warns me it can't access history an stuff | 05:33 |
| Dr_willis | be more specific and we can try to help | 05:33 |
| charlie | and lynx gives me this | 05:33 |
| charlie | Is there a command to automatically fix permissons? mine are all messed up | 05:33 |
| charlie | oops | 05:33 |
| charlie | lynx gives me Can't Access `file://localhost/usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html' | 05:33 |
| charlie | Alert!: Unable to access document. | 05:33 |
| Dr_willis | Your users home dir, should be owned by them and all the files in there should be owned by them. | 05:33 |
| oloughlin75 | charlie, you are a limited use for a reason | 05:33 |
| charlie | I assume permissions are screwed up | 05:33 |
| oloughlin75 | its for your own proection | 05:34 |
| charlie | I'm the administrator... | 05:34 |
| Dr_willis | try 'nano /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html' | 05:34 |
| NickPresta | charlie, you shouldn't be running as root. | 05:34 |
| oloughlin75 | you really shouldnt | 05:34 |
| Dr_willis | if you want to alter system files. You need to do so with root permissions | 05:34 |
| charlie | What makes you think i'm running as root? | 05:34 |
| charlie | i'm not running as root | 05:34 |
| charlie | I just tried to start lynx | 05:34 |
| charlie | charlie@ubuntu:~$ lynx | 05:35 |
| charlie | Can't Access `file://localhost/usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html' | 05:35 |
| charlie | Alert!: Unable to access document. | 05:35 |
| charlie | lynx: Can't access startfile | 05:35 |
| charlie | And other programs have access errors too | 05:35 |
| Dr_willis | Im not sure that your 'address/path' is correct for what you are doing | 05:35 |
| Dr_willis | lynx /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html | 05:35 |
| charlie | oh boy | 05:35 |
| charlie | Dr_willis: | 05:35 |
| charlie | I don't think you understand | 05:35 |
| charlie | ALL i'm doing is running lynx | 05:35 |
| charlie | that's it | 05:35 |
| charlie | and i get that | 05:36 |
| charlie | My permissions are messed up. | 05:36 |
| Dr_willis | you are tyelling it a file.. but the path to that file is most likely NOT /localhost/usr | 05:36 |
| Dr_willis | try cat /localhost/usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html | 05:36 |
| charlie | oh my god | 05:36 |
| charlie | i'm not trying to access that file | 05:36 |
| charlie | nevermind | 05:36 |
| WhereAmI_ | do you happen to know if the new amarok will do this better? | 05:36 |
| Dr_willis | http://localhost/usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html would be correct. | 05:37 |
| e`DrAvEn | how do i restart sshd? | 05:37 |
| charlie | e`DrAvEn: sudo invoke-rc.d ssh restart | 05:37 |
| charlie | i think | 05:37 |
| oloughlin75 | WhereAmI_: no, your only choice is to use mysql or postreql or whatever the other one is | 05:37 |
| charlie | might be openssh or something | 05:37 |
| WhereAmI_ | ok | 05:38 |
| Dr_willis | sudo /etc/init.d/ssh | 05:38 |
| Dr_willis | restart | 05:38 |
| Dr_willis | works also.. oops 2 lines.. | 05:38 |
| e`DrAvEn | thanx hope this works i was unable to connect and i think it's because i don't connect to the net until after sshd is already started | 05:39 |
| e`DrAvEn | hm no luck | 05:42 |

| Dr_willis | a few clicks.. and it converts. | 05:55 |
| * music`freak don't know no scripting :/ | 05:55 | |

| charlie | Does anyone know of a good SFTP/SCP Client? (linux) | 06:08 |
| Dr_willis | gnome and kde file managers can do ssh/sftp. then theres ssh/scp :) | 06:09 |
| Dr_willis | Then theres the fuse-ssh tools. | 06:09 |
| Dr_willis | Depends on your needs | 06:09 |
| Dr_willis | fish:// is the one for kde's file manager i belive. | 06:09 |
| liz_ | 'sup ppl, how can I get a different user to access the internet? | 06:27 |
| unagi | does kopete hang alot for everyone else or just me | 06:30 |
| Dr_willis | liz_, run the app as a different user. :) depends on the details. | 06:39 |
| Dr_willis | I tend to install/use 'sux' to switch users. | 06:39 |
| liz_ | thx Dr_willis, I tried that once and it asked if I used the sudo command.. | 06:40 |
| Dr_willis | depends on what you are running. | 06:40 |

| Dr_willis | what APP are you tryign to run anyway? | 06:41 |
| liz_ | just trying to access the internet under a different user | 06:42 |
| Dr_willis | sux bgates | 06:43 |

| Dr_willis | is one of proberly a dozen ways to do it. | 06:43 |
| liz_ | so I have to install sux first? or already on 6.06 and do I run it in root or different user? | 06:44 |
| Dr_willis | users can use sux. :) | 06:45 |
| darkdream | morgen | 06:46 |

| Dr_willis | I hate them all. :) | 07:08 |
| tj__ | from someone that uses 1 | 07:08 |
| tj__ | ;) | 07:08 |
| Dr_willis | They all lack functionality that i get with the normal kde panel | 07:09 |
| tj__ | yeah but i think it looks cooler :P | 07:09 |
| Dr_willis | go get a screen shot of a OS-X desktop. and set it as your wallpaper for looks | 07:10 |
| Dr_willis | :P | 07:10 |
| tj__ | i do know what u say is true | 07:10 |
| tj__ | do they even support kiba-dock anymore | 07:10 |
| Dr_willis | I use dual monitors and a lot of these fancy docks just dont work well with them. | 07:10 |
| Dr_willis | !find kiba | 07:11 |
| Dr_willis | ive heard of others using it. | 07:11 |
| ubotu | Package/file kiba does not exist in gutsy | 07:11 |

| tj__ | yeah | 07:12 |
| Dr_willis | That one had real issued with 2 screens | 07:12 |
| Dr_willis | and it requires compiz, or similer | 07:13 |

| tj__ | !find avant | 07:15 |
| ubotu | File avant found in wims-modules | 07:15 |
| Dr_willis | its not in the normal repos under gutsy | 07:16 |

| thechris | hey, i'm having playback issues with wma files and wmv files | 07:28 |
| thechris | kubunutu64 | 07:28 |
| thechris | any ideas on how to fix this (not trying to install wma/v) | 07:28 |
| Daisuke_Ido | yeah, go to 32 bit. unless you have 4+gb ram, 64-bit isn't worth the headaches | 07:29 |
| Daisuke_Ido | normally that would be handled by w32codecs... but it's not 32 anymore! | 07:30 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i apologize if i sound bitter | 07:30 |
| thechris | i have 8G of ram | 07:31 |
| thechris | though i'm planning to run 2 virtual computers on my computer | 07:31 |
| thechris | so it probably works out | 07:32 |
| biovore | I have had some luck with mplayer | 07:32 |
| Daisuke_Ido | then you have a valid reason to be using 64 bit :) | 07:33 |
| Daisuke_Ido | erm... is there a build of VLC for 64-bit? | 07:33 |
| WhereAmI_ | http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8492026&st=1TB&lp=9&type=product&cp=1&id=1186003685416 | 07:34 |
| WhereAmI_ | 1TB hard drive for 230$ | 07:34 |
| Daisuke_Ido | WhereAmI_: will you STOP spamming that f****** hard drive already? anyone that cares knows about it, and the rest don't. | 07:34 |
| thechris | i'll probably end up going with 32b kubunutu then for my desktop OS, and run a 64b server or such | 07:34 |
| Daisuke_Ido | welcome to the free market, the price starts high and falls as time goes on | 07:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that's how it works! | 07:35 |
| thechris | that doens't seem like a terribly good deal | 07:35 |
| WhereAmI_ | eh? | 07:35 |
| WhereAmI_ | earlier I said something about it | 07:35 |
| WhereAmI_ | now I posted a direct link | 07:35 |
| thechris | last i had seen it was around 250 for 1T | 07:35 |
| WhereAmI_ | [01:36] <shaggylaptop> i might get 2 | 07:36 |
| WhereAmI_ | [01:37] <shaggylaptop> or 4 for my raid5 setup | 07:36 |
| WhereAmI_ | [01:37] <shaggylaptop> you seen some with more than 16MB cache? | 07:36 |
| WhereAmI_ | that guy liked it in a media center chat | 07:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | well isn't that just lovely! would you like a cookie?: | 07:36 |
| WhereAmI_ | yes. | 07:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | too bad. | 07:37 |
| WhereAmI_ | and I believe for the entire time I shall post this hard drive here every hour or so | 07:37 |
| thechris | now i want brownies | 07:37 |
| WhereAmI_ | it was going to be the end after that link | 07:37 |
| Daisuke_Ido | WhereAmI_: that would be an extremely bad idea | 07:37 |
| WhereAmI_ | but since you like it so much | 07:37 |
| thechris | thats fine by me | 07:37 |
| Daisuke_Ido | *i* can't do anything about it | 07:37 |
| thechris | i can use /ignore if i care enough | 07:37 |
| Daisuke_Ido | thechris: true | 07:37 |
| WhereAmI_ | yup | 07:38 |
| thechris | its just a debate of how apathetic i get | 07:38 |
| Daisuke_Ido | but i'm sure there are ops floating around who get irritated by spam | 07:38 |
| WhereAmI_ | just like I'm going to daisuke_Ido right now | 07:38 |
| === ubuntu__ is now known as dallas | ||
| WhereAmI_ | don't need to listen to some idiot that has had a bad day | 07:38 |
| === dallas is now known as randomoutburst | ||
| Daisuke_Ido | i don't need to deal with spam, welcome to ignore! | 07:38 |
| WhereAmI_ | showing people a deal, besides most of the time people aren't around 24/7 in an IRC and see two little posts | 07:39 |
| === randomoutburst is now known as dallasb | ||
| dallasb | i just downloaded kubuntu and i finally got a wireless connection but i cant pull up any websites anyone know what the problem might be? | 07:40 |
| dallasb | irc works just fine obviously but no internet | 07:40 |
| Daisuke_Ido | dallasb: using konqueror? | 07:40 |
| dallasb | yes | 07:40 |
| Daisuke_Ido | try installing firefox, just to see if that works. if so, it's a konqueror issue, if not, it's a little more widespread. i've seen both | 07:41 |
| Dr_willis | I recall seeing many others with an identical issue.. but i never was able to figure out what the fix was. :) | 07:41 |
| Dr_willis | I though it was somting tiodo with the kde/konqueror proxy settings | 07:41 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Dr_willis: same here | 07:42 |
| ForgeAus | great 266 ppl on a channel and nobody responds :( | 07:42 |
| ForgeAus | not here I meant in #Windows | 07:42 |
| dallasb | ok, im d/l it now | 07:42 |
| thechris | thats illegal | 07:42 |
| ForgeAus | whats illegal? | 07:42 |
| dallasb | so is konqueror not a very good browser? | 07:42 |
| Dr_willis | it id 3 am :) | 07:43 |
| Dr_willis | i use firefox or opera | 07:43 |
| ForgeAus | dallasb konqueror is great but its browsing isn't at firefox standards | 07:43 |
| thechris | i was just kidding. #windows ; i'm dl'n it ; ... | 07:43 |
| dallasb | ahh, i use ff with windows and i love it | 07:43 |
| Daisuke_Ido | dallasb: it's a good browser | 07:43 |
| dallasb | for sure | 07:43 |
| ForgeAus | I'd agree with Daisuke on that :) | 07:44 |
| dallasb | have you used swiftfox? | 07:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | no, konqueror | 07:44 |
| ForgeAus | its also a wonderful file manager :) | 07:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | oh, wait a tick.. how are you downloading ff? | 07:44 |
| ForgeAus | dallasb easiest way to install firefox is apt-get install firefox | 07:44 |
| ForgeAus | hehe | 07:44 |
| dallasb | yep | 07:44 |
| dallasb | thats what im doing :) | 07:44 |
| ForgeAus | swiftfox is just a customized version | 07:44 |
| dallasb | or did | 07:44 |
| ForgeAus | you get to tailor it for your CPU specifically, etc... | 07:45 |

| gold44 | it's a VCD, when i popped it in, i dont see a cdrom ico n on desktop | 09:38 |
| Dr_willis | if you erased it... im not sure it will make an icon on the desktop | 09:39 |
| Dr_willis | if you erased it. :) its no longer a vcd. | 09:39 |
| gold44 | Dr_willis: no, when i pop cdrw into drive, icon did not come out | 09:39 |
| gold44 | i think an app is using the cdrom | 09:40 |
| gold44 | and that is preventing me to erase the disk | 09:40 |
| Dr_willis | Normsally if somting is accessing the cd. it wont let it get ejected. | 09:40 |

I ve read hear:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/Lenovo3000N200_0769B2G, to use sth like: "To get your keyboard controls working, go to Sound Preferences and under Devices -> Default Mixer track -> Device, choose "HDA Intel (Alsa mixer)".

| === fede is now known as f-pardo | ||
| Dr_willis | Jado`, the resticted-manager tool installed the drivers i needed for my 43xx card. | 10:53 |
| Jado` | Dr_willis do you know how to install the "software sources" ? | 11:03 |
| Jado` | or someone else ? | 11:03 |
| Dr_willis | enable all the repos with the package manager toom | 11:06 |
| Dr_willis | tool | 11:06 |
| hola | Dr_willis: do you know gnome | 11:08 |
| Dr_willis | I use gnome at times. :) | 11:08 |
| hola | Dr_willis: i would like to tell to gnome do not ask me user and password when it start and enter so dirtly in the environment....in kde i know how to do that | 11:09 |
| Dr_willis | gdm has a auto login option as well I belive. | 11:10 |
| Dr_willis | You could set up kdm to auto login also and have it start up gnome. | 11:10 |
| hola | sorry, what is gdm | 11:10 |
| Dr_willis | !gdm | 11:11 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 11:11 |

| hola | Dr_willis: ok i dont know how to do that but i will try to find aorund | 11:12 |
| Dr_willis | how are you doing it in kde? You use the kdm config tool to enable auto logging in. - You can just set the default desktop to be gnome if you want to start gnome and still use kde's kdm | 11:13 |
| hola | Dr_willis: ahhh ok...... but if i use ubuntu standalone it is not possibile, or im worng | 11:14 |
| Dr_willis | standalone? GDM has autologing features also if you are just using gnome. | 11:14 |
| hola | Dr_willis: do you know hot to find them | 11:15 |
| Dr_willis | you might have to edit the gdmrc config file. Not sure if the gdm gui config tool has auto login settings in it or not.\ | 11:15 |
| Dr_willis | !find gdm | 11:15 |

| add616 | kubuntu is support beryl? | 11:20 |
| Dr_willis | !beryl | 11:20 |
| ubotu | Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 11:20 |
| Dr_willis | use compiz instead | 11:20 |
| Dr_willis | !compiz | 11:20 |
| ubotu | Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion | 11:20 |
| Jado` | how can i install "software sources" on kubuntu ? | 11:21 |
| add616 | how i can run this through console terminal | 11:22 |
| Dr_willis | !source-o-matic | 11:22 |
| ubotu | source-o-matic is not available anymore, please use Software Sources (in your Applications / K menu) to configure your repositories. Do NOT enable "Proposed updates" unless you're willing to test possibly seriously flawed packages. | 11:22 |
| Dr_willis | Software Sources (in your Applications / K menu) to configure your repositories. | 11:22 |
| pteague | ok, any idea why i can get the 64bit live cd version to run for over 25 minutes running top with no problems, but the installed 64bit version locks up running top? | 11:22 |
| Dr_willis | add616, read the !compiz factoid web site and isntall the proper packages to enable compiz | 11:23 |
| Jado` | Dr_willis i can't find it | 11:23 |
| Dr_willis | i just manually edit my /etc/apt/sources.list or use synaptic, or adept to enable all the extra repositories. | 11:24 |
| Jado` | what should i do with my sources.list ? | 11:24 |
| Dr_willis | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu | 11:25 |
| Dr_willis | shows how to enable all the different repositories (sources) | 11:26 |
| Jado` | i don't have internet on the pc with the problem :/ | 11:26 |
| add616 | i am using kubuntu not ubuntu | 11:26 |
| Dr_willis | add616, that posted !compiz url told how to enable compiz on kubuntu last i looked at it. | 11:27 |
| Apocalypse_dn | Hi! how it's going? | 11:27 |
| Dr_willis | howdy | 11:28 |
| Jado` | so, Dr_willis ? | 11:28 |
| romunov | i followed this tutorial to install compiz: http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/8/29/How-to-install-Compiz-Fusion-on-Ubuntu-Feisty---tutorial-for-advanced-andor-KDE-as-well-as-Xfce-users | 11:29 |
| Dr_willis | Jado`, if you dont have any internet then things get a bit harder. Wnat are you wanting toinstall anyway? theres some 'aptoncd' commands out. but i never used them | 11:29 |
| Dr_willis | May be easier to plug the thing in wired somewhere, and isntall whatever you need first. | 11:29 |
| Jado` | i can't plug this doesn't work either : / | 11:30 |
| Dr_willis | if wired networking is not working.. thats very weird. | 11:30 |
| romunov | you can acces the sources.list by "nano /etc/apt/sources.list" | 11:30 |
| Jado` | yes but what should i do with my sources.list ? | 11:30 |
| Dr_willis | wont do much good to worry about sources if you have no networking :) | 11:30 |
| Jado` | it's working but i can't make it work Dr_willis | 11:30 |
| Jado` | i want to install driver for broadcom 43xx but i have this error : "the sofware source for the package "bcm43xx-fwcutter" is not enabled" | 11:31 |
| Jado` | so i want to enable "sofware source for the package" | 11:31 |
| romunov | you need to get the url for the repository | 11:31 |
| Dr_willis | Jado`, 'software source' = the repository. | 11:31 |
| add616 | ok | 11:31 |
| Dr_willis | its not a 'thing' you download. its a site/url/server you enable to allow iit to download the needed files. | 11:31 |
| add616 | what the function of terminal console | 11:32 |
| romunov | you need to google for the repository link for that particular package and copy that link into the sources.list | 11:32 |
| Dr_willis | add616, huh? | 11:32 |
| add616 | if posible to acces terminal console | 11:32 |
| Jado` | so i need to make function my wired connection ? | 11:32 |
| Dr_willis | Theres the konsole terminal, and then theres the consoles add616 - for all your command line needs. | 11:32 |
| Jado` | i'll be back | 11:33 |
| Dr_willis | Jado`, that would make things much easier. | 11:33 |
| add616 | for now i am downloading in repositories | 11:34 |
| add616 | what anti virus to install in kubuntu | 11:35 |
| stdin | none | 11:35 |
| add616 | why | 11:35 |
| stdin | !virus | add616 | 11:35 |
| ubotu | add616: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 11:35 |
| stdin | !antivirus | 11:36 |
| ubotu | antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus | 11:36 |
| add616 | is safe to used ubuntu? | 11:38 |
| Dr_willis | as safe as anything else is in this world... :) | 11:39 |

| add616 | not in xp | 11:41 |
| Jado | no it's not the same machine ^^ | 11:41 |
| add616 | sharing files to xp using ubuntu machine | 11:41 |
| Dr_willis | thats not internet connection shareing then. :) | 11:41 |
| Dr_willis | thats setting up samba/shares | 11:41 |
| Dr_willis | !SAMBA | 11:41 |

| Dr_willis | theres a kde front end to confgure samba also. Not sure if its installed by default. | 11:42 |
| Jado | when i go to network setting, i can see that there is no "ip address" in front off eth1 (which my eternet connection") | 11:42 |
| Jado | of* | 11:42 |
| Dr_willis | Jado, on my machines eth0 is the wired network, eth1 is the wireless. | 11:42 |
| Dr_willis | Jado, see what 'sudo ifconfig' says | 11:43 |
| Jado | for me eth0 is wireless and eth1 ethernet | 11:43 |
| Dr_willis | But i touhgt wireless wasent working... | 11:43 |
| Jado | yes it is disabled, and i can't enable it | 11:44 |
| Dr_willis | it may be your router is not giving out proper ip#'s or the dhcp server on it is off. or you got it set to use a static ip. on the wired network thats not correct. | 11:44 |
| Jado | i try to configure manually ? | 11:44 |
| Dr_willis | if you dont even have an ip# for the interface - you need to reconfigure it. | 11:45 |
| Jado | ok | 11:45 |
| Dr_willis | or just enable dhcp and let it get a ip | 11:45 |
| Dr_willis | Then try pinging google.com with (ping google.com) and also (ping 64.233.167.99) | 11:45 |
| Jado | dhcp is enabled, because i can talk to you with this machine which is configured by dhcp | 11:45 |
| Jado | sudo ifconfig gives me 2 paragraph (one with eth1, the other with lo) | 11:46 |
| Jado | google is responding | 11:46 |
| Jado | how do i stop the ping ? | 11:46 |
| compi | howzit everyone.... How do i install "wine" on Kubuntu 7.1???????????? | 11:47 |

| tomaz | how do I change the path for every user that logs on the system? | 11:48 |
| RomanRudenko | Or should I switch to IDE for that? | 11:48 |
| Dr_willis | RomanRudenko, you proberly dont want to 'move' the installed system from the vmware hd to a real hd. there may be a lot of little issues. | 11:48 |
| tomaz | I mean, the $PATH | 11:48 |
| compi | i am not able to install via add/ remove programs as it is not on the list!!! | 11:48 |
| Dr_willis | default path is set in /etc/profile I thought. | 11:48 |
| Dr_willis | compi, enable the extra repositories its in the 'universe' repository | 11:48 |
| tomaz | etc/profile is read every time that i log in? | 11:48 |
| RomanRudenko | Dr_willis: What kind of issues can I expect? | 11:49 |
| Jado | Dr_willis, ping to google is working, but http://www.google.fr on Konqueror isn't | 11:49 |
| compi | Dr_willis... how do i do that??? | 11:49 |
| Dr_willis | RomanRudenko, at the least your UUID's in the grub menus and fstab will be wrong most likely | 11:49 |
| Dr_willis | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu | 11:50 |
| compi | thanks... having a look now.... | 11:50 |
| Dr_willis | use Software Sources (in your Applications / K menu) to configure your repositories. is one way also | 11:50 |
| Dr_willis | adept/synaptic and that add/remove programs also have some check box's somewhere to enable them | 11:50 |
| add616 | how can activate samba | 11:51 |
| Dr_willis | Jado, try the package manager adept to update/upgrade the system see if that works..if so you can then install extra packages. | 11:51 |
| Dr_willis | !samba | add | 11:51 |

| RomanRudenko | Dr_willis: So a one-off configuration change? That does not sound too bad. Would there be something more crazy to deal with (e.g. modules installed to match the initial virtual hardware, and no autodetection to switch over once installed on new hardware)? | 11:51 |

| Jado | Dr_willis, ping to google is working, but http://www.google.fr on Konqueror isn't | 11:52 |
| RomanRudenko | Or this is the kind of crazy thing where only experimenting would give the answer? | 11:52 |
| Dr_willis | RomanRudenko, plus all the hardware will be totally different. :) not sure how that will affect the sound, and other things. | 11:52 |
| tomaz | worked, thanks | 11:52 |
| Dr_willis | RomanRudenko, id just do a clean isntall to the real hd. and copy over the needed config files from the virtual install. | 11:52 |
| add616 | if possible that windows application can run on ubuntu | 11:52 |
| add616 | like ms office, etc... | 11:53 |
| Dr_willis | add616, Huh? what does window sapplications have to do with samba? | 11:53 |
| Dr_willis | wine can run a lot of windows apps.. but i rarely use it. | 11:53 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. That repo url- has not been updated for gutsy. | 11:54 |
| Jado | Dr_willis, any idea for me ? | 11:55 |
| Dr_willis | Jado, did the update/upgrade work yet? it may be that konqueror is just confused. if the package manager is able to see the internet and download stuff. then you should be avble to enable the extra repos. and install whatever extra drivers you need. | 11:56 |
| Dr_willis | actrually the restricted-manager tool can proberly auto download them if the network is working | 11:57 |
| add616 | compiz is not working | 11:57 |
| add616 | how can enable compiz | 11:57 |
| Dr_willis | add616 for starters if ysing nvidia card - you need to install the nvidia drivers. | 11:57 |
| Jado | i have the same problem from the restricted manager, although ping is working | 11:58 |
| Jado | what should i add on the sources.list ? | 11:58 |
| Dr_willis | Jado, fire up adept and use its manage sources feature. to enable the universe and multiverse and other sources | 11:59 |
| Dr_willis | repository = source :) | 12:00 |
| add616 | i completed download in reprisotory, my problem how can activate compiz | 12:00 |
| Dr_willis | adept manager - > adept menu -> manage reposiutories. check all the different ones, main, universe, restricted, multiverse and so on. | 12:01 |
| Dr_willis | add616, you installed everything that !compiz guide told you? | 12:01 |

| Dr_willis | You normally dont need to pirate stuff for linux | 12:04 |
| Jado | yes it's what he told | 12:04 |
| Jado | Dr_willis i just opened adept, what shoud i do next ? | 12:05 |

| wsjunior | Gutsy | 12:25 |
| wsjunior | It seems it's a problem with kdesu and sudo | 12:25 |
| wsjunior | I saw some bug reports without solution | 12:25 |

| Thecks | However, it gets to step three and after I click next, it checks the HDD and then just stops. | 12:33 |
| Thecks | Step 3 is choosing your keyboard layout. | 12:34 |

| gundam_rx78nt1 | I would like to know if it is safe to perform the update. | 12:43 |
| SAngeli | Hi, is it possible to know why anytime I update my system, I get this error with system crash? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56350/ any advice please? | 12:43 |
| pteague | seems like your missing debugging symbols, but i wouldn't know why | 12:45 |
| SAngeli | pteague: any advice how to at least fix this? | 12:46 |
| SAngeli | pteague: it is not a nice feeling seeing yon your pc this error | 12:46 |
| pteague | SAngeli> have you tried reinstalling? what version did you initially install from? | 12:47 |
| SAngeli | I installed few weeks ago and it is 7.10 latest from cd | 12:48 |
| SAngeli | It would be not nice to reinstall what already has been istalled | 12:48 |
| SAngeli | perhaps, it should be fixed by knowing which files to reinstall | 12:48 |
| SAngeli | but I do not know which ones | 12:49 |
| Pendeta | Is it possible to configure 2 monitors from the LiveCD? Connect to the Internet? View files on a NTFS? | 12:50 |
| pteague | i know when you run aptitude or apt-get search from the terminal it will tell you whether something is installed or not & whether there is a conflict with something... not sure how to do a search for everything though | 12:50 |
| sylvain-fr | Hi all | 12:50 |
| pteague | Pendeta> by default the live cd pulls up both my monitors, but in a mirrored view, i haven't tried configuring past there | 12:51 |

| jussi01 | /names | 12:52 |
| Pendeta | pteague, can you connect to the Internet? | 12:52 |
| pteague | Pendeta> yep | 12:52 |
| sylvain-fr | I search how to disable some buttons on the stop menu (hibernate, turn off, restart...) | 12:53 |
| Pendeta | peteague, can you mount NTFS file system? | 12:54 |
| pteague | Pendeta> kind of depends on what drivers your lan card requires... a couple of my computers used to have issues as the drivers for their lan card weren't on the install cd... i've not had issues with my 2 desktops or my laptop | 12:55 |
| pteague | Pendeta> i can mount it after i've installed... i've not tried off the live cd | 12:55 |
| pteague | Pendeta> if you're wanting to just mess around with it & not wanting to mess up your windows install... i'd suggest downloading vmware server or virtualbox for windows (both free) & install (k|x)?ubuntu under that | 12:56 |
| Pendeta | pteague, I really want to install to duel boot. Problem is that I created a nightmare for myself by installing XP on a fake raid 0+1; I don't know if ubuntu can be installed on that or not. | 13:01 |
| pteague | 0+1 is striped & mirrored ? | 13:02 |
| Pendeta | Yes. | 13:03 |
| Pendeta | 4 hard drives. | 13:03 |

| pteague | Pendeta> that's the reason i put together a file server... i'm not sure that you're going to be able to get win raid to work with linux & vice versa | 13:04 |
| jlr4u | How can I add functionality to the desktop right-click in Kubuntu? | 13:05 |
| Pendeta | What is a file server? | 13:06 |
| Jado | anyone knows why i can ping websites but not connect to internet ? | 13:06 |
| pteague | a separate box that's not used as a desktop | 13:06 |
| pteague | Pendeta> http://www.google.com/search?q=fileserver | 13:08 |
| Lynoure | Jado: if you can ping websites, you _are_ connected to internet... so what do you mean? | 13:08 |
| Pendeta | pteague, thanks. I'll read that. | 13:08 |
| pteague | i use mine for storing files, my subversion repositories, & my test server for web development | 13:09 |
| Jado | Lynoure i mean i can't connect to website by konqueror for example | 13:09 |
| Lynoure | Jado: Any firewalling at play? what happens if you try a) with an ip? b) telnet www.google.com 80 ? | 13:10 |
| ForgeAus | hey Lynoure :) | 13:10 |
| ForgeAus | hehe telnet google? | 13:10 |
| Jado | i tried ping www.google.fr | 13:10 |
| Jado | and it worked | 13:10 |
| ForgeAus | Jado as long as you don't flood with pings I don't see why it shouldn't | 13:11 |
| Jado | it shouldn't because i can't access on google.fr (or any other website) in konqueror :( | 13:11 |
| ForgeAus | you mean you have dns but no browsing? | 13:12 |
| Jado | Lynoure telnet www.google.com 80 works well | 13:12 |
| prince_jammys | Jado: do---> www-browser google.com | 13:12 |
| prince_jammys | Jado: ok if telnet works forget it | 13:12 |
| pteague | could be that port 80 or tcp services are blocked... icmp is a different connection type | 13:12 |
| Jado | google.com contacted, waiting for reply... | 13:12 |
| connyosis | hi there. I have a friend who is going to install kubuntu but he doesn't want X to start on boot. He prefers logging in at a prompt and starting X manually should he feel like it. How does one go about making kubuntu not start X at boot? | 13:13 |
| sars | hi some one know a good php editor for kubuntu feaisty fawn ho color php function and give information about param like dreamweaver? | 13:13 |
| Jado | ForgeAus i don't know what that means, but i mean that i can ping on the terminal, but i can't browse | 13:13 |
| prince_jammys | sars don't know, i just use kate | 13:14 |
| ForgeAus | yes but you can resolve domain names like it will connect to www.google.fr you don't need to give it a string of numbers (ie an IP like 241.295.81.132 | 13:14 |
| ForgeAus | wait 295 is invalid but you get my point | 13:14 |
| pteague | sars> there's something like gphpedit or something... it's more of a gnome app, but it works under kde... however, i prefer eclipse + phpeclipse | 13:14 |
| Jado | i know what an IP is ^^ but i don't understand what you mean | 13:15 |
| Jado | my english is bad :/ | 13:15 |
| pteague | kate is nice :) but just does syntax highlighting | 13:15 |
| ForgeAus | well dns all it does is translates the name to the number | 13:15 |
| prince_jammys | Jado: try in browser window::: 64.233.167.99 | 13:15 |
| Jado | ok so dns works well | 13:15 |
| ForgeAus | ie www.google.fr has an IP, and that ip is transparent to the user because of DNS | 13:15 |
| ForgeAus | prince I don't think that will fix | 13:15 |
| sars | thank you i will try eclipce | 13:16 |
| ForgeAus | he has a config issue | 13:16 |
| ForgeAus | either network config or konqueror config | 13:16 |
| Jado | www-browser google.com didn't worked | 13:16 |
| prince_jammys | ForgeAus: yes, but be | 13:16 |
| ForgeAus | jado I suggest perhaps an apt-get reinstall konqueror (is there a reinstall?) ??? | 13:16 |
| prince_jammys | Jado: no ouput at all? | 13:16 |
| Jado | waiting for reply ... | 13:16 |
| Jado | i stopped it | 13:16 |
| prince_jammys | ForgeAus: yes but why would www-browser not work | 13:16 |
| prince_jammys | if its a konq issue | 13:17 |
| ForgeAus | prince configuration issue like I said | 13:17 |
| pag | Jado, you can ping, but konq doesn't work? - try disabling knetworkmanager; should fix the issue | 13:17 |
| ForgeAus | feel free to use www-browser if thats valid instead of konqueror if you like | 13:17 |
| prince_jammys | www-browser independent of konq | 13:17 |
| Jado | 64.233.167.99 doesn't work neither | 13:17 |
| ForgeAus | or get firefox, whatever | 13:17 |
| Jado | www-browser doesn't work. | 13:17 |
| ForgeAus | konqueror isn't connected to the internet | 13:17 |
| ForgeAus | www either? | 13:17 |
| ForgeAus | hmmm somethings wrong somewhere | 13:17 |
| Jado | www ? | 13:18 |
| ForgeAus | can ping but can't http at all? | 13:18 |
| ForgeAus | Jado i was abbreviating | 13:18 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy All : ) | 13:18 |
| ForgeAus | explicityl I meant "www-browser" (I just shortened it) | 13:18 |
| pag | hello BluesKaj :-) | 13:18 |
| BluesKaj | hi pag | 13:18 |
| Lynoure | Jado: which browsers have you tried? have you restarted konqueror? | 13:19 |
| ForgeAus | it could be a port thing | 13:19 |
| ForgeAus | if port 80 is blocked by something? | 13:19 |
| Lynoure | proxy settings could do that too | 13:19 |
| Jado | telnet www.google.com 80 works well | 13:19 |
| Jado | i don't have proxy | 13:19 |
| Jado | i tried konqueror only | 13:19 |
| ForgeAus | ok well I don't know then | 13:19 |
| Jado | i restarted my computer several times | 13:19 |
| pag | Jado, please: do me a favour; disable knetworkmanager, and try, if the konqueror starts working. | 13:20 |
| prince_jammys | Lynoure: he tried konq and a text-only browser:: problem is not konq specific | 13:20 |
| ForgeAus | its not port psecific its not konq specific | 13:20 |
| ForgeAus | sounds elusively specific | 13:20 |
| Lynoure | prince_jammys: weird then than telnet to a site works... | 13:20 |
| ForgeAus | hard to track down to just one issue | 13:21 |
| pag | Jado, I know it sounds like a stupid idea, but I've noticed it works in ~70% of similiar problems | 13:21 |
| prince_jammys | Jado: just to quadruple check :::: www-browser any site | 13:21 |
| prince_jammys | Jado: other than google :) | 13:21 |
| ForgeAus | yeah well I guess google could have been cached | 13:21 |
| Jado | how do i disable knetworkmanager ? | 13:21 |
| ForgeAus | but how do you cache telnet??? | 13:22 |
| pag | Jado, alt+f2 -> killall knetworkmanager | 13:22 |
| prince_jammys | ah knetworkmanager, that's sounds promising | 13:22 |
| prince_jammys | that | 13:22 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, try Firefox to eliminate konq as the prob | 13:22 |
| Jado | www-browser www.hp.com --> www.hp.com contacted. waiting for reply ... then nothing | 13:22 |
| ForgeAus | BluesKaj its doesn't appear to be just konqui | 13:23 |
| prince_jammys | Jado: read above about knetworkmanager | 13:23 |
| BluesKaj | it may not appear to be but are you sure ? | 13:24 |
| Jado | i killed knetworkmanager process | 13:24 |
| prince_jammys | BluesKaj: yes, tried text only browser and didnt work | 13:24 |
| Jado | but it still doesn't work | 13:24 |
| pag | Jado, restart konqueror? | 13:24 |
| prince_jammys | you have to restart it, i think | 13:24 |
| Jado | i restarted it | 13:25 |
| Jado | should i restart my pc ? | 13:25 |
| prince_jammys | no, knetworkmanager | 13:25 |
| pag | Jado, no. | 13:25 |
| prince_jammys | unless it restarts automatically | 13:25 |
| * BluesKaj retreats :) | 13:25 | |
| pag | prince_jammys, I'd suggest we keep knetworkmanager off... | 13:26 |
| prince_jammys | pag oh OK | 13:26 |
| Jado | i resi keep it off | 13:26 |
| prince_jammys | disregard, i thought it was necessary | 13:26 |
| Jado | i keep it off* | 13:26 |
| Jado | i still can ping | 13:27 |
| Jado | i restarted konqueror but it still doesn't work | 13:27 |
| pag | Jado, try the following in Konsole: sudo /etc/init.d/interfaces resart | 13:27 |
| pag | s/resart/restart | 13:27 |
| ForgeAus | probably not needs restart probably needs reconfig and/or reinstall | 13:27 |
| thecoko | list | 13:28 |
| Lynoure | Jado: out of curiousity... are you on irc from that machine or another? Does your other networking work? | 13:28 |
| ForgeAus | unless konqui isn't whats wrong of course | 13:28 |
| thecoko | Hi, where ara the chanel list? | 13:28 |
| Jado | i'm on a windows xp machine, my network works well | 13:28 |
| Jado | sudo /etc/init.d/interfaces restart not found :/ | 13:29 |
| dZen|n| | hello do some of you have enemy territory game installed ? I have problems with downloading packets | 13:29 |
| Distro^Junkie | hmmm can't get sound outta all my speakers for surround | 13:29 |
| prince_jammys | Jado: wireless, correct? | 13:29 |
| BluesKaj | Distro^Junkie, have you checked the vol ctrls in alsamixer ? | 13:30 |
| Distro^Junkie | yep | 13:30 |
| Distro^Junkie | turn on surround and it comes surround in 2 of the speakers | 13:30 |
| Jado | first i wanted to connect wireless, but i don't have drivers, then i plugged an ethernet cable in order to download drivers for the wireless, but it didn't work | 13:30 |
| jpatrick | Tonio_: yo | 13:30 |
| BluesKaj | Distro^Junkie, how about in kmix? | 13:31 |
| Tonio_ | jpatrick: re ;) | 13:31 |
| Tonio_ | just a little switch to kde4 to take kdesudo snapshots for kde-apps ;) | 13:31 |
| Distro^Junkie | same | 13:31 |
| Jado | why " sudo /etc/init.d/interfaces restart " isn't found ? | 13:31 |
| Jado | pag prince_jammys have you another idea for me ? | 13:32 |
| Distro^Junkie | and I know they all work cause I dual boot with windows (wife is a mindless winblows user) | 13:32 |
| prince_jammys | Jado: no sorry -- but i recall earlier you were having trouble related to wireless | 13:32 |
| BluesKaj | ok, Distro^Junkie , using amarok ? | 13:32 |
| pag | Jado, probably because I remembered the path wrong.. | 13:32 |
| Distro^Junkie | amarok or last.fm | 13:32 |
| prince_jammys | Jado: or maybe related to having more than one interface? i dont know ... check pag | 13:33 |
| Distro^Junkie | amarok is only giving me the xine engine | 13:33 |
| Jado | i have two interface | 13:33 |
| Jado | wireless and ethernet | 13:33 |
| Jado | wireless is by defaut but doesn't work | 13:33 |
| pag | Jado, and umm.. try installing firefox (apt works, right?) then we will at least see, if it works. | 13:33 |
| Jado | so i'm trying ethernet | 13:33 |
| BluesKaj | ok Distro^Junkie , but have you got the speaker arrangement tab set for surround 5.1 or whatever setup you have ? | 13:34 |
| Jado | "package firefox is not available, but is referred to by another package. this may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoloted, or is only available from another source" | 13:35 |
| Jado | when apt-get install firefox | 13:35 |
| Distro^Junkie | yes I do BluesKaj | 13:35 |
| pag | Jado, ' sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install firefox ' | 13:36 |
| BluesKaj | well, then Distro^Junkie I'm stumped , short of making sure the connections are ok | 13:36 |
| Jado | adept manager doesn't work neither, when i do "fetch updates" it stucks at 27% "waiting for headers" | 13:36 |
| Distro^Junkie | is alsa installed by default ? | 13:36 |
| BluesKaj | nope | 13:37 |
| Jado | in the terminal also : 27% "waiting for headers" | 13:37 |
| Jado | when apt-get update | 13:37 |
| pag | Jado, just wait.. it should timeout at some point | 13:37 |
| sylvain-fr | I search how to disable some buttons on the stop menu (hibernate, turn off, restart...) | 13:37 |

| siofwolves | I enabled the ATI drivers in Restricted Drivers - System Settings and my box wouldn't boot to the login screen yesterday. according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI thats the way to go too. where do i go next ? btw radeon 9800 is my card. | 13:43 |
| Jado | i just rebooted my computer and i directly tried www.google.fr on konqueror it worked then i tried a research and it didn't, finally i retried www.google.fr and it wasn't working anymore | 13:44 |
| sylvain-fr | Does someone know "multi-seat" ? | 13:44 |
| Jado | any other idea ? | 13:45 |
| siofwolves | btw if i try a manual install 'sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev debhelper libstdc++5 dkms' that seems to work, but, './ati-driver-installer-8.443.1-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/gutsy' doesn't. do i need to be in a specifuc directory? | 13:45 |
| BluesKaj | siofwolves, are you on a desktop ? | 13:45 |
| siofwolves | BluesKaj, yup | 13:45 |

| prince_jammys | Jado: sorry, no -- check on the web? | 13:48 |
| BluesKaj | siofwolves, check system settings/monitor&display/admin mode /configure monitor and look for the appropriate driver in the drop down list...apply , then reboot. | 13:49 |

| Enissay | i've just installed apache, and my browser try to download index.html from www directory... how can i fix this? | 14:02 |
| PeP` | BluesKaj: and do you know where I can download the iso or alpha 4 with KDE4? or would installing a command-line system and then the packages xserver-xorg, xfonts-base, kde4-core and maybe kdm be ok? (bit long...) | 14:02 |
| CaNCeRouS_CraB | i have a dual boot system in windows there is no static ut in kubuntu there is horrible static | 14:02 |
| BluesKaj | KDE4 isn't ready for prime time , but if you're adventurous , read the MOTD for kde4 sources | 14:03 |
| frank23 | PeP`: check this iso out http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/gutsy/kde4/ | 14:03 |
| frank23 | PeP`: it's unsupported though | 14:04 |
| PeP` | frank23: thank you | 14:04 |
| BluesKaj | CaNCeRouS_CraB, describe static and the setting in which it happens | 14:05 |
| PeP` | frank23: actually that is gutsy... I am looking for the alpha 4 of hardy | 14:05 |
| CaNCeRouS_CraB | BluesKaj static noise... and default setting i dint do anything with the settings | 14:06 |
| CaNCeRouS_CraB | BluesKaj its sort of a hissing sound | 14:06 |
| BluesKaj | are you using amarok or a player of any kind or do you just have the volume cranked up | 14:06 |
| frank23 | PeP`: oh. you probably have to install kde4 after you install the regular kubuntu hardy | 14:08 |
| PeP` | frank23: Ok... I wanted to test the combination without the old KDE interfering, but I guess I'm going to have to install a command-line system and then kde4-core | 14:09 |

| ahmad_ | gunndam, yup im'm using the knetwork manager. | 14:50 |
| SlimeyPete | ubuntufreak: you can mount your hard disk (it might be automounted in fact) and edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 14:51 |
| SlimeyPete | if that's what you're after | 14:51 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | do you see available wireless netowrks or it doesn't show any? | 14:52 |

| TuxOtaku | hey guys, how would I go about changing KDE 3.5's default file manager to dolphin instead of konqueror? | 15:13 |
| BluesKaj | !dolphin | 15:13 |
| ubotu | Dolphin, 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. | 15:13 |
| TuxOtaku | ok cool | 15:14 |
| BluesKaj | so just sub dolphin for konq in that tutorial | 15:14 |
| simon_ | hello, how do I mount a drive? | 15:15 |

| ubotu | Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Kubuntu, go to System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Disks & Filesystem. See also !fstab and !DiskMounter | 15:18 |
| TuxOtaku | one more question...does anyone know if there's a firefox theme based on the new crystal theme in KDE? | 15:19 |
| BluesKaj | simon_, also , install ntfs-3g and ntfs-config if you need access to an external drive . | 15:19 |

| simon_ | thx | 15:20 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as Mwahahaha | ||

| sigma_1234 | someone is probably still making it | 15:23 |
| sigma_1234 | anyway why bother using firefox. use konqueror | 15:23 |
| BluesKaj | sigma_1234, unfortunately FF has fewer "issues" on gutsy than konq does. | 15:25 |
| simon_ | I can see my drive in the "System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Disks & Filesystem", but when I click it in the Dolphin - Storage Media I get "hal-storage-fixed-mount-options refused uid 1000" as an error message at the bottom. | 15:27 |
| prince_jammys | simon: what is the name of the mount point? | 15:29 |
| siofwolves | after a week of trying i have installed an ati driver :) i used this guide for anyone that needs it. -> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide | 15:29 |
| === crazymax is now known as _MadMax_ | ||
| BluesKaj | yes siofwolves , it depends on what you want to do with your graphics | 15:31 |
| BluesKaj | siofwolves, I use the restricted driver cuz I want to have google earth , DRI and 3D ,on my onboard low end x200g ati card . | 15:33 |
| sigma_1234 | yeah but firefox is so slow and eats resources | 15:34 |
| BluesKaj | sigma_1234, I beg to differ ..FF runs clean and fast here | 15:34 |
| stdin | check it's mem usage | 15:35 |
| sigma_1234 | really? where did you download it from? | 15:35 |
| sigma_1234 | it uses over 100mb. konq uses about 50 and its a file manager | 15:36 |
| siofwolves | BluesKaj, i just want to have the correct driver installed for my card, anything which I ran ie, scorched 3D would be very slow, which is'nt right. | 15:36 |
| simon_ | hm, Kopete crashes for me when I try to log in at msn, is there another better IM out there for KDE? | 15:36 |
| BluesKaj | stdin, it does what I need it to do , konq hasn't kept up with innivations IMO ...was a konq user and fan for a long time but since Gutsy it's too restricted and PITA in some ways | 15:36 |
| stdin | BluesKaj: try FF3, you'll soon switch back :p | 15:37 |
| * siofwolves is happy now | 15:37 | |
| sigma_1234 | what is the word kompete supposed to mean? | 15:38 |
| BluesKaj | siofwolves, yesterday I suggested that you use the restricted default driver in system settings advanced | 15:38 |
| sigma_1234 | sorry meant kopete | 15:38 |
| siofwolves | BluesKaj, i couldn't boot though. it frooze before the login screen. | 15:39 |
| BluesKaj | stdin, yeah FF3 is not ready for prime time | 15:39 |
| stdin | BluesKaj: tell that to the person that decided to make it the default FF version in hardy :/ | 15:39 |
| BluesKaj | siofwolves, did you try to setup your monitor driver like I suggested? | 15:39 |
| _Angelus_ | BluesKaj: the only 3issues i found in konq where, a bit flower then FF , you must use and old version of flash or it crashes , and amsn's direct linke to hotmail's acoount doenst workin it (which i dont use anymore cause i changed to gmail( | 15:40 |
| BluesKaj | _Angelus_, and gmail still doesn't render properly in konq | 15:40 |
| tj__ | i used the ad/remove programs to install open arena but i can't find the program folder so i can add maps can anyone help | 15:40 |
| _Angelus_ | i use gmail from kmail BluesKaj which works very good using pop3 and smtp | 15:41 |
| siofwolves | BluesKaj, yeah i did earlier, didn't try the restricted default driver in system settings advanced again though. i will next time ;) | 15:41 |
| BluesKaj | I'm using FF cuz it works right now ..as soon as konq is brought up to date , I'll switch back . | 15:41 |
| ForgeAus | hehe someone should make a kubunturix! :) (kubuntu on interix!) | 15:42 |
| BluesKaj | siofwolves, i suspect it's the same driver as the one you used in that tutorial | 15:42 |
| siofwolves | heh i have a monitor with packard bell on but it says NEC on the back. (NEC is what is the driver i'm using) | 15:42 |
| BluesKaj | _Angelus_, I'm still using kmail ..works fine with FF as the browser | 15:43 |
| siofwolves | BluesKaj, i agree. i never knew the monitor needed to be correctly selected. i do now though. | 15:43 |
| BluesKaj | yes gmail is linked to my kmail as well | 15:44 |
| BluesKaj | siofwolves, yes ppl overlook the importance of monitor drivers | 15:44 |
| siofwolves | BluesKaj, thanks for your help. :) | 15:45 |
| tj__ | how do i see .folders in the home dir | 15:47 |
| _Angelus_ | tj__: command line or dolphin? | 15:47 |

| jahromeo | where are the .bin files stored for aptget? | 17:47 |
| NickPresta | !info ktorrent | 17:48 |
| johey | Arwen: Is there a package for it, or should I apt-get remove it first and then install it from source or something? | 17:48 |

| NickPresta | johey, there is version 2.2.1 in the repos. Any reason why you need 2.2.5? | 17:48 |
| johey | NickPresta: Yes. <2.2.5 is banned from a site. | 17:48 |
| Arwen | johey, download the source, copy over the debian packaging information from a Debian source package, build. | 17:49 |
| NickPresta | johey, ah I see. You would have to compile, it seems. | 17:49 |
| jahromeo | where are the .bin files stored for aptget? | 17:49 |
| SlimeyPete | they're .deb, not .bin | 17:49 |
| NickPresta | johey, I would use checkinstall, to create a deb so your update process is not screwed up in the future. | 17:49 |
| SlimeyPete | and they're somewhere in /var/apt | 17:49 |
| Arwen | or install the Hardy package Phttp://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/net/ktorrent) | 17:49 |
| Arwen | (http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/net/ktorrent)* | 17:49 |
| NickPresta | !checkinstall > johey | 17:49 |
| SlimeyPete | /var/apt/cache I think | 17:49 |

| jahromeo | \ | 17:50 |
| ScorpKing | jahromeo: /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 17:50 |
| Arwen | !checkinstall | do not use | 17:50 |
| ubotu | do not use: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 17:50 |
| jahromeo | scorpion maybe you can help me - my apt-get gets corrupted and i get segmentation faults | 17:50 |
| jpatrick | Arwen: why not? | 17:50 |
| jahromeo | if im using a frontend such as adept | 17:50 |
| Arwen | jpatrick, it kills dependency handling | 17:51 |
| jahromeo | so i switched to synaptic didnt have the fault whole day and its occured again | 17:51 |
| jahromeo | is there a quick fix other than del the bin and using the console? | 17:51 |
| ScorpKing | jahromeo: any errors from the command line? | 17:51 |
| jahromeo | command line is fine - if i use that , but soon as i use frontend it corrupts the .bin | 17:51 |
| jahromeo | no matter if its adept or synaptic | 17:51 |
| NickPresta | Arwen, I don't know if it is a problem but KTorrent in Hardy requires libc6 >= 2.7.1. Gutsy only has 2.6.1. | 17:51 |
| johey | Oki, NickPresta. Thanks! | 17:51 |
| Arwen | NickPresta, well, that would be a problem. Hehe. | 17:51 |
| NickPresta | Which is why you should use checkinstall install of installing a deb meant for something else :) | 17:52 |
| Arwen | NickPresta, no, that means you should make a proper deb package | 17:52 |
| Arwen | per !packaging | 17:52 |
| NickPresta | I aware of packing, and I'm not going to argue with you, but some people may find that intimidating and time consuming for something as simple as upgrading a minor version of KTorrent. | 17:53 |

| NickPresta | jahromeo, apt-cache search PACKAGE | 17:55 |
| ScorpKing | jahromeo: maybe reinstall adept? | 17:55 |
| jahromeo | thanks | 17:55 |
| jahromeo | adept/synaptic both do it | 17:55 |
| jahromeo | im not going to use frontends anymore | 17:55 |
| jahromeo | they corrupt my things and cause me headaches | 17:55 |
| ScorpKing | jahromeo: you can also try to start adept_installer from konsole and see if any errors show in konsole | 17:56 |
| jahromeo | it does it with synaptic too | 17:56 |
| jahromeo | until i del those 2.bin files | 17:57 |
| jahromeo | neither will run | 17:57 |
| jahromeo | nor will apt-get | 17:57 |
| NickPresta | jahromeo, we need error messages and such. We can't guess the problem (most of the time ;) anyways) | 17:57 |
| ScorpKing | what .bin files? | 17:57 |
| IIVQ | question: how do I disable spell-checking in kubuntu? | 17:57 |
| NightBird | IIVQ: that may be a program specific thing, what program are you wanting to do it in? | 17:59 |
| jahromeo | jerome@AbadonwareLinux:/var/cache/apt$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 17:59 |
| jahromeo | Reading package lists... Done | 17:59 |
| jahromeo | Segmentation fault (core dumped) | 17:59 |
| jahromeo | that is it | 17:59 |
| jahromeo | thats all it is | 17:59 |
| jahromeo | i del the .bin and apt-get/frontend works again well synaptic does - adept is a piece of bollocks that keeps crashing so i dont use it | 17:59 |
| IIVQ | NightBird, in this case: in XChat | 17:59 |
| unagi | anyone have funky crap going on when they start kubuntu, like tray icons not showing up and adept notifier in a window? | 18:00 |
| ScorpKing | jahromeo: what .bin ? | 18:00 |
| IIVQ | but actually, in all programs (except for openoffice) | 18:00 |
| jahromeo | in the apt/cache folder | 18:00 |
| NickPresta | unagi, you running Compiz Fusion? | 18:00 |
| unagi | yes | 18:00 |
| NightBird | IIVQ: dunno then | 18:00 |
| jahromeo | sudo rm pkgcache.bin srcpkgcache.bin - dels and stops segmentation error to frontend like adept/synaptic | 18:00 |
| IIVQ | NightBird, Konqueror also has spell checking on input boxes. It's annoying the hell out of me | 18:00 |
| unagi | NickPresta: yes | 18:00 |
| NickPresta | unagi, That is the problem. I don't think they know of a fix yet. | 18:00 |
| unagi | oh | 18:00 |
| ScorpKing | jahromeo: what does dmesg | tail say? please don't paste here. | 18:01 |
| unagi | would it maybe help if i delayed the start of comppiz? | 18:01 |
| ScorpKing | !paste > jahromeo | 18:01 |
| Distro^Junkie | The ALSA soundsystem is either busy or not present. <--- keep getting this in the last.fm radio player | 18:01 |
| NickPresta | unagi, I don't think so. Ask in #compiz-fusion. There may be a fix since I last checked. | 18:02 |
| Distro^Junkie | but its showing it as an option in the player | 18:02 |
| jahromeo | im telling you its the .bin that corrupts | 18:02 |
| jahromeo | when i del em frontend works fine | 18:02 |
| jahromeo | but ill paste it | 18:02 |
| jahromeo | http://pastebin.com/m7ffa9bc9 | 18:02 |
| ScorpKing | jahromeo: i don't say it's not. i just can see why. nothing in dmesg | 18:03 |
| jahromeo | nobody yesterday for 2 hrs could tell me why its doing what its doing\ | 18:03 |
| jahromeo | in kubuntu/ubuntu/compiz-fusion | 18:04 |
| jahromeo | i had em all stumped | 18:04 |
| jahromeo | best solution was del .bin and dont use a frontend | 18:04 |
| jahromeo | when im not using frontend it doesnt happen | 18:04 |

| simon12 | hello. Im playing around in nvidia settings, trying to get my dual view config to work. It finaly works pretty nice, except that its my secondary monitor that acts as the main one. I cant find any way in the UI to select wich one should be the main one. Anyone knows? | 18:05 |
| biovore | you can do everything in CLI.. you can't do everything from a GUI.. | 18:05 |
| jahromeo | http://pastebin.com/m24b2492c | 18:05 |
| biovore | simon12: I think there is an option you can put in xorg.conf to say.. to the right or to the left.. It also maters what port on the graphics card your using. | 18:05 |
| jahromeo | if i use a frontend like adept/synaptic it corrupts pkgcache.bin srcpkgcache.bin and i gotta del em before apt-get will work again or i get segmentation faults | 18:05 |
| ScorpKing | jahromeo: nope, no full disks. | 18:06 |
| simon12 | yes, Ive set it to the left, that works fine, except the tasbar is on the right side, and so is the login window. | 18:06 |
| * ScorpKing thinks.. | 18:06 | |
| simon12 | so I assume the right one is, for some reason, acting as the main monitor | 18:06 |
| biovore | swap the connections on the graphics card.. (simplest way to go) | 18:06 |
| simon12 | that one is a crt | 18:07 |
| simon12 | cant do that | 18:07 |
| jahromeo | anway i need to restart x so i can use compiz | 18:07 |
| jahromeo | brb | 18:07 |
| biovore | swap where the monitors are sitting on the desk :-P | 18:07 |
| simon12 | the monitor I want to be secondary that is now functioning as primary only has a vga input | 18:07 |
| simon12 | its actually a projector to be precis :D | 18:07 |

| ScorpKing | simon12: have you looked in the monitor and display section in kcontrol? | 18:08 |
| simon12 | hm kcontrol.. | 18:08 |
| simon12 | where do I find this kcontrol? | 18:09 |

| jahromeo | so scorpion you have a think on why frontend corrups those .bins? | 18:14 |
| ScorpKing | jahromeo: no idea what else it could be with adept. try asking in #linux and #ubuntu | 18:14 |
| ScorpKing | jahromeo: reinstall adept maybe | 18:14 |
| jahromeo | linux channel aint newb friendly to say the least - they dont like noob users | 18:14 |
| jahromeo | scorpion - it does it on synaptic/adept | 18:14 |
| jahromeo | synaptic only once in like 2 days, adept every time i open | 18:15 |
| ScorpKing | really weird | 18:15 |
| jahromeo | compiz is working but now i got that error where my x boxes etc dissapear what is string to fix that again? e.g. parts of menus are missing | 18:15 |
| jahromeo | yep it is | 18:15 |
| NickPresta | jahromeo, emerald --replace | 18:17 |
| jahromeo | thats not it | 18:17 |
| jahromeo | didnt even have emerald installed | 18:17 |
| jahromeo | its some nvidia command | 18:17 |
| jahromeo | that i cant remember | 18:17 |
| jahromeo | To fix your compiz window decorations (titlebars) with an nVidia graphics card, run « sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24 », then restart !X. | 18:18 |
| jahromeo | its that | 18:18 |
| NickPresta | ah okay. | 18:18 |
| Jahromeo | does adept start by default when you start a machine | 18:20 |
| Jahromeo | caus i keep getting adept errors | 18:20 |
| Arwen | is there a way to tell how much of my RAM is being used, discounting buffers and cache? | 18:20 |
| ScorpKing | Jahromeo: have you tried - sudo apt-get update ? | 18:20 |
| Jahromeo | yes | 18:21 |

Hmm, When the computer starts the loading screen and Grub is shown on the projector aswell. Think its possible to change primary display from bios or something? | 18:23 |
| Jahromeo | if i wanna use apt-get aftger restart then i gotta del the 2.bin | 18:23 |
| Jahromeo | restarting to fix driveri ssues | 18:24 |

| ScorpKing | Jahromeo: the 2 .bin's seems to be the database. after you delete them you must run sudo apt-get update coz they are supposed to be the from what i can see | 18:29 |
| ScorpKing | there* | 18:29 |
| Jahromeo | k ill try that scorp | 18:30 |

| noformat | hello all. I'm trying to do a kubuntu install here, but the installer won't let me proceed without formatting various partitons. They've gotta data on them that can't go anywhere else. Is there any way I can get around this? | 18:32 |
| ScorpKing | !tab > Jahromeo | 18:32 |
| arcticpenguin380 | will kubuntu ever have the requirments of vista? | 18:32 |
| surgy | arcticpenguin380: if it ever does you will never see me again | 18:33 |
| Jahromeo | ScorpKing: OOO thats nice thanks | 18:34 |
| ScorpKing | :D thants better. | 18:34 |
| ScorpKing | that's* | 18:34 |
| Jahromeo | i must say im not liking kubuntu | 18:35 |
| Jahromeo | my firefox wont even run | 18:35 |
| Jahromeo | it doesnt do anything hourglass turns, and then it closes | 18:35 |
| ScorpKing | Jahromeo: seems like you have a few not-so-nice problems on that box :P | 18:36 |
| sigma_1234 | Jahromeo we meet again :) | 18:37 |
| Jahromeo | yeah im not liking this 7.10 :P | 18:37 |
| Jahromeo | too buggy for me | 18:37 |
| Jahromeo | op | 18:37 |
| Jahromeo | jerome@AbadonwareLinux:~$ firefox | 18:37 |
| Jahromeo | Segmentation fault (core dumped) | 18:37 |
| Jahromeo | if i get one more frikking segmentation error i am going to have the biggest hissy | 18:37 |
| sigma_1234 | Yeah those things should work without tinking. kubuntu is prob not liking your hardware | 18:37 |
| Jahromeo | where are firefox settings stored | 18:37 |
| Jahromeo | its a new machine quad core etc | 18:38 |
| prince_jammys | Jahromeo: ~/.mozilla | 18:38 |
| Jahromeo | how do i fix a segmenation fault in firefox | 18:38 |
| Jahromeo | are there more .bins i can del | 18:38 |
| sigma_1234 | where did you buy it from? not sahara i hope | 18:38 |
| Jahromeo | i put it together myself | 18:39 |
| Jahromeo | cpu sahara - hdd rectron - mboard rectron - keyboard/mouse rectron - case pcmall.co.za - dvd - rectron - ram rectron | 18:39 |
| Jahromeo | mostly a rectron machine | 18:39 |
| prince_jammys | Jahromeo: don't know -- some people have had success restoring the default preferences, as in "mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozbackup" | 18:39 |
| prince_jammys | Jahromeo: gnome or KDE? | 18:39 |
| Jahromeo | kde | 18:40 |
| Jahromeo | kubunmtu | 18:40 |
| prince_jammys | Jahromeo: yeah i get that sometimes myself and use KDE --- have yet to determine why sometimes firefox hangs and sometimes it doesnt | 18:40 |
| Jahromeo | so how do i fix? | 18:40 |
| prince_jammys | Jahromeo: you can try the above -- but it's not necessarily a fix | 18:41 |
| prince_jammys | Jahromeo: if it doesn't work, you move the directory back | 18:41 |
| Jahromeo | do i just alt+f2 and run that? | 18:41 |
| prince_jammys | Jahromeo: yes | 18:41 |
| ScorpKing | Jahromeo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/57393 | 18:42 |
| sigma_1234 | that sahara stuff is dodgy. is the proc on a one or 3year warranty? | 18:42 |
| prince_jammys | Jahromeo: if it doesn't work, then: "mv ~/mozbackup ~/.mozilla" | 18:42 |
| Jahromeo | only my cpu is sahara scorpion | 18:42 |
| Jahromeo | still no luck | 18:43 |
| Jahromeo | *sigma sorry | 18:43 |
| Jahromeo | willl it be ok to stay with this till new versionn comes out and would upgrade fix all these issues im having hopefully?? | 18:44 |
| Jahromeo | bandwidth is expensive here and to keep reinstalling and dling 200-300 mb is pissing me off no end | 18:44 |
| Jahromeo | its becoming cheaper to run a windows box even if you have to pay licencing | 18:44 |
| ScorpKing | Jahromeo: do a memtest. i don't think your programs is the problem. it could be something with the kernel or memory management but i'm no pro, just guessing | 18:44 |
| Jahromeo | thing is scorpion pclinuix was fine | 18:45 |
| prince_jammys | but it's mozilla that's segfaulting, not apt | 18:45 |
| Jahromeo | and its same pc | 18:45 |
| sigma_1234 | something hardware wise sounds realy off on ur pc | 18:45 |
| Jahromeo | i know but apt-get was segmenting too and i fix that by del .bin files for it, is there no such option for ffox? | 18:45 |
| prince_jammys | Jahromeo: oooh there's more to it than i thought | 18:46 |
| sigma_1234 | you shouldnt have to delete anything | 18:46 |
| BluesKaj | !flashissues | 18:46 |
| * ScorpKing agrees.. | 18:46 | |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now, although it might not have yet reached all mirrors. If the update fails to install Flash, try « sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree » | 18:46 |
| Jahromeo | is there a repair option if i reinstall kubuntu? | 18:47 |
| prince_jammys | Jahromeo: deleting bin files is playing with fire -- things can become a mess | 18:47 |
| Jahromeo | thing is i dont want to lose my 200-300mb of upgrades ive already done | 18:47 |
| Jahromeo | meh its only way to use apt-get | 18:47 |
| Jahromeo | my frontend like synaptic/adept corrupt them | 18:47 |
| Jahromeo | so i no longer use the frontend | 18:47 |
| Jahromeo | is there anyway to reinstall kubuntu without losing all my updates? - like a repair install? | 18:48 |
| ScorpKing | Jahromeo: take a look at apt-move and apt-cacher. with that you can save all your upgrades | 18:48 |
| sigma_1234 | disable updates. your bandwidth is too pricey | 18:48 |
| Jahromeo | yeah sigma this is my point | 18:48 |
| prince_jammys | Jahromeo: yes, look into those packages -- also check out package aptoncd | 18:48 |
| prince_jammys | !info aptoncd | Jahromeo | 18:48 |
| ubotu | jahromeo: aptoncd (source: aptoncd): Installation disc creator for packages downloaded via APT. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.97-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 135 kB, installed size 1024 kB | 18:48 |
| Jahromeo | if i keep getting hit with nonsense like this im going to use windows - its becoming cheaper even with licencing | 18:49 |
| ScorpKing | aptoncd doesn't support kubuntu. the gnome downloads will be big to get it installed | 18:49 |
| Jahromeo | man is there no repair option like windows - press r - and it reinstall but keeps settings/files | 18:49 |
| ScorpKing | Jahromeo: that's why i keep /home on a second partition. ;) | 18:50 |
| prince_jammys | Jahromeo: i have never had that "repair" option repair anything for me ,lol | 18:50 |
| Jahromeo | im not worried about personal info there is none on here - but my dls like skype , ffox etc | 18:50 |
| Jahromeo | will those be overwritten? | 18:50 |
| Jahromeo | bandwidth is like 10 dollars a gig here | 18:51 |
| Jahromeo | its expensive i cant sit redownloading things again | 18:51 |
| prince_jammys | Jahromeo: if you reinstall kubuntu, yes they will be overwritten | 18:51 |
| ScorpKing | Jahromeo: all of the settings is in /home/you/.<somehiddenfile> | 18:51 |
| prince_jammys | Jahromeo: you can cache the stuff and not have to redownload it | 18:51 |
| Jahromeo | snore im tempted to wait till april | 18:52 |
| Jahromeo | and have the upgrade fix these bugs | 18:52 |
| Jahromeo | i cant format its too expensive | 18:52 |
| ScorpKing | Jahromeo: i pay $46 for 1GB btw ;) | 18:52 |
| sigma_1234 | what country scorpking? | 18:54 |
| ScorpKing | 1GB 3G in South Africa | 18:54 |
| sigma_1234 | thats different though. its not a fixed line so should cost more | 18:55 |
| * BluesKaj is beginning to wonder if it's too much to ask to have konqueror actually work on flash sites , or is this some kind of purst punishment on ppl who like media on websites ? | 18:56 | |
| ScorpKing | sigma_1234: true, but i move around a lot | 18:56 |
| sigma_1234 | but dam you actually get 3g. i live in metro durban and i dont! | 18:56 |
| ScorpKing | hehe | 18:56 |
| sigma_1234 | works for me blueskaj. but i uninstalled it to save bandwith | 18:57 |
| BluesKaj | back to FF I guess , even the US repos don't seem to have the right flash plugin for konq | 18:57 |
| ScorpKing | BluesKaj: konq use the ff plugin on my box and it works great | 18:58 |
| sigma_1234 | nosrednaekim: did you eventually buy a eeepc? | 18:58 |
| BluesKaj | weird , it won't go on my setup | 18:58 |
| llutz | BluesKaj: works here too | 18:58 |
| nosrednaekim | sigma_1234 » nah... I really really want one though, but I don't have enough money. I don't want to go to college broke :) | 18:58 |
| BluesKaj | what , repos are you using ScorpKing ? | 18:58 |
| ScorpKing | BluesKaj: http://za.bla | 18:59 |
| ubuntu_ | hello | 18:59 |
| ScorpKing | !hi | 19:00 |
| ubotu | Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 19:00 |
| ubuntu_ | I have Kubuntu 7.10 install problems | 19:00 |
| ubuntu_ | How are you | 19:00 |
| sigma_1234 | lol it just got released in sa. surprisingly the same price as in the usa. but thats probably because asus has a local office here | 19:00 |
| ScorpKing | sigma_1234: join offtopic plz | 19:00 |
| ScorpKing | !ask | ubuntu_ | 19:01 |
| ubotu | ubuntu_: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 19:01 |
| BluesKaj | llutz, what sources are you using ? | 19:01 |
| llutz | BluesKaj: de.archive.. | 19:01 |
| ubuntu_ | ok thanks | 19:01 |
| Jahromeo | scorpion im also in ZA :P | 19:01 |
| Jahromeo | cpt | 19:01 |
| Jahromeo | and 70 rand a gig man, im going to have us capped before long dling updates | 19:02 |
| BluesKaj | odd , i changed mine to US , cuz i suspected that the canadian ones weren't up to date | 19:02 |
| llutz | BluesKaj: 9.0.48.0.2+really0ubuntu12.2 0 from http://de.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy-updates/multiverse Packages | 19:02 |
| ScorpKing | :D nice. there is #ubuntu-za btw | 19:02 |
| ubuntu_ | ASUS CUSL2 512MB 1GHZ boots desktop Live CD but install on 30 GB HD seems to hang up | 19:02 |
| ubuntu_ | also QTPart hangs when I try to use that | 19:02 |
| sigma_1234 | ubuntu-za | 19:03 |
| nosrednaekim | ubuntu_ » are you trying to do dual-boot? | 19:04 |
| ubuntu_ | no | 19:04 |
| ubuntu_ | wipe out whole HD and install just kubuntu using most automated (simple) method possible | 19:05 |
| nosrednaekim | ubuntu_ » is it crashing on formatting or partitioning? | 19:05 |
| ubuntu_ | I think so | 19:05 |
| nosrednaekim | which one. | 19:05 |
| ubuntu_ | I got to copying files once (around 66%) | 19:06 |
| nosrednaekim | so it got past formatting. | 19:06 |
| ubuntu_ | but mostly freezes whole desktop around 5% | 19:06 |
| ubuntu_ | I tried several different HD | 19:06 |
| nosrednaekim | sounds like a bad CD. | 19:06 |
| ubuntu_ | I ran CD verify and it passed though | 19:06 |
| ubuntu_ | should I run again? | 19:06 |
| ubuntu_ | can I verify from the 7.10 liveCD desktup | 19:07 |
| nosrednaekim | yeah, I think there is checkCD on the grub boot menu | 19:07 |
| ubuntu_ | I used that one before | 19:07 |
| nosrednaekim | hum. | 19:11 |
| ubuntu_ | ok I'll check the CD once more | 19:11 |
| ubuntu_ | be back in a little bit | 19:11 |
| nosrednaekim | ubuntu_ » can't really say what the problem is then... | 19:11 |
| nosrednaekim | ok | 19:12 |
| ubuntu_ | ok | 19:12 |
| ubuntu_ | \leave | 19:12 |
| ubuntu_ | doh | 19:12 |
| ubuntu_ | allways get the wrong slash | 19:12 |
| nosrednaekim | :) | 19:12 |
| vlt | Hello. Since the recent big update for kde programs (example line from /var/log/aptitude: [UPGRADE] konqueror-nsplugins 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27.3 -> 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27.4) nspluginviewer crashes every time. Any known solution? | 19:19 |
| nosrednaekim | thats not what I would call a big update..... but when does it crash? | 19:20 |
| Jahromeo | what is 7.10 - gutsy or feisty? | 19:20 |
| hydrogen | gutsy | 19:20 |
| Jahromeo | thanks | 19:21 |
| hydrogen | lsb_release -c | 19:21 |
| BluesKaj | nope , back to FF , no flash joy in konq | 19:21 |
| nosrednaekim | ha, i'm exactly the opposite, flash works in konq, but not in ff | 19:22 |
| nosrednaekim | and I prefer FF | 19:22 |
| hydrogen | flash doesn't work. | 19:22 |
| emilsedgh | BluesKaj: FF is wrong, thats Fx :D | 19:22 |
| hydrogen | ff doesn't work. | 19:22 |
| hydrogen | use opera | 19:22 |
| hydrogen | and enjoy life | 19:22 |
| BluesKaj | FF works fine , konq doesn't with flash i mean | 19:22 |
| BluesKaj | opera is too busy | 19:23 |
| vlt | nosrednaekim: Everytime I open a web page containing some element that requires nspluginviewer. | 19:26 |
| vlt | nosrednaekim: ... I get a crash report window about nspluginviewer. | 19:27 |
| nosrednaekim | I think the latest version of flash no longer works with konqueror..... | 19:28 |
| BluesKaj | welcome to the nspluginviewer cpuhog app | 19:28 |
| vlt | BluesKaj: Any solution? | 19:29 |
| BluesKaj | vlt, it seems to depend on your sources.list repositories, whether they have the right version flashplugin-nonfree that works with konqueror . I'm using a US repos source but I haven't been able to get youtube videos to work in konq :( | 19:34 |
| BluesKaj | so it seems to be a hit and miss thing, vlt | 19:35 |
| vlt | BluesKaj: I use "deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted universe multiverse" ... dapper-updates and dapper-security | 19:38 |

| X9nLinux1 | Hi everybody. Running Dapper on an old iMac. Using a second monitor plugged into the extra port. Just did a fresh install. The monitor has set up with wrong resolution. Looks like 640x480. Went into System settings => Monitors. Won't reset right. How do I fix? | 19:42 |
| galbatorix | zut, c'est anglais ici ? | 19:42 |
| galbatorix | je suis francais :$ | 19:42 |
| galbatorix | I am french | 19:42 |
| nosrednaekim | !fr | 19:43 |
| ubotu | Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 19:43 |
| galbatorix | merci | 19:43 |
| nosrednaekim | X9nLinux1 » so you want a higher res? | 19:44 |
| X9nLinux1 | yes! | 19:44 |
| nosrednaekim | X9nLinux1 » does the hardware support it? | 19:45 |
| nosrednaekim | ie, the graphics card | 19:45 |
| X9nLinux1 | 870 x 1152 iirc | 19:45 |
| X9nLinux1 | yes it does... it WAS running previously | 19:45 |
| nosrednaekim | ok,so you are effectively trying to run dual-head? | 19:45 |
| X9nLinux1 | JUST discovered something on side of the settings display panel.. | 19:45 |
| X9nLinux1 | yes except for that has not yet worked... | 19:45 |
| nosrednaekim | with different res's on each monitor? | 19:45 |
| X9nLinux1 | so far only the secondary monitor is showing with first one going black | 19:46 |
| X9nLinux1 | They are probably different, not 100% positive though. | 19:46 |
| nosrednaekim | it may be going black because you are exceeding its res/refresh. | 19:46 |
| nosrednaekim | but at 640x480, I doubt it ;) | 19:47 |
| X9nLinux1 | it is happy during startup, but then goes black when things finish starting up and only second monitor shows | 19:47 |
| djdarkman | how can I force reload the alsa? | 19:48 |
| djdarkman | I can`t seem to find it in ubuntu | 19:48 |
| nosrednaekim | well, thats because X starts and has a totally different monitor settings than the kernel framebuffer | 19:48 |
| nosrednaekim | djdarkman » /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart | 19:48 |
| ScorpKing | djdarkman: it's alsamixer | 19:48 |
| djdarkman | it doesn`t work | 19:49 |
| nosrednaekim | !dualhead | X9nLinux1 | 19:49 |
| ubotu | X9nLinux1: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 19:49 |
| X9nLinux1 | am trying a restart on it right now... lets see how that goes. Will go check your link in just a minute. | 19:50 |
| nosrednaekim | X9nLinux1 » I really have no clue how to do dual-head, or anything more complicated than a simple mirrored projector set-up | 19:50 |
| djdarkman | nosrednaekim: in knoppix I typed /etc/init.d/alsa force-restart ,and it realy restarted alsa in ubuntu it just doesn`t work | 19:50 |
| nosrednaekim | djdarkman » whats the problem? | 19:50 |
| djdarkman | nosrednaekim: skype is the problem it messes up some type of recording buffer, voice only works for half an hour | 19:51 |
| X9nLinux1 | well, so far I've not found anything good on dual heads on Mac, ... but not done fishing by a long shot | 19:51 |
| nosrednaekim | oh... skype <_< | 19:51 |
| djdarkman | I have to restart my computer for skype to work again | 19:51 |
| djdarkman | probably something with my soundcard driver | 19:52 |
| nosrednaekim | possibly... did you try restarting sound in system-settings? | 19:52 |
| hanswerner | auch jemand hier der deutsch spricht? | 19:52 |
| djdarkman | no such option | 19:54 |
| nosrednaekim | well, change some value, change it back, and hit apply | 19:54 |

| NickPresta | hey BluesKaj | 19:56 |
| BluesKaj | NickPresta, hey ...i need a canadian sources.list , if you have one ...forgot to backup | 19:57 |
| X9nLinux1 | nosrednaekim : Is there any such thing as some 'vision impared' setting that could be triggered innadvertently somehow? The resolution is not acting like simply wrong size screen. Its more like moving around with a magnifying glass all over the place. | 19:57 |
| nosrednaekim | X9nLinux1 » that usually happens when you are sending the monitor a higher res than is supported | 19:58 |
| theo__ | Qui parle francais ici ? | 19:58 |
| NickPresta | BluesKaj, I actually don't have a canadian mirror sources.list. I have http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu repos though. | 19:58 |

| theo__ | ah merci | 19:58 |
| theo__ | euh thanks | 19:59 |
| X9nLinux1 | nosrednaekim : That can't be the case because the exact same hardware had the same version and software a few weeks ago and only had hard drive changed out. | 20:00 |
| nosrednaekim | odd. | 20:01 |
| X9nLinux1 | it appears that the Display 'Configuration' might end up resolving the problem once I find the right one. Still playing for a bit. | 20:01 |
| X9nLinux1 | its odd because it wouldn't log in right at first... but now that it did, its allowing changes fine. | 20:03 |
| X9nLinux1 | nosrednaekim: Is there a way to correctly identify the monitor in the software? (Kind of like Apple's System Profiler) | 20:07 |
| nosrednaekim | X9nLinux1 » yeah I think thats in the last tab..... | 20:08 |
| nosrednaekim | its in the "hardware" tab | 20:09 |
| X9nLinux1 | Last tab (Dapper) is power saving... third tab is the one to choose monitor, but it doesn't tell what I have. "Autodetect" gives the 'main' monitor that is less important right now... so can't get it to figure out how to fix itself | 20:09 |
| X9nLinux1 | yeah, that's where I'm at | 20:10 |
| nosrednaekim | X9nLinux1 » you have to be in admin mode | 20:10 |
| X9nLinux1 | did that too | 20:10 |
| nosrednaekim | X9nLinux1 » and here in gutsy, its has a choice for promary or secondary | 20:10 |
| X9nLinux1 | It 'might' insist that both monitor choice and resolution choice be changed at same time. Still playing | 20:11 |

| kroot | <NickPresta>, where you from? I'm from Ukraine | 20:18 |
| X9nLinux1 | nosrednaekim: Monitor keeps 'snapping'. Is that a normal symptom of wrong refresh rate? (the monitor itself should be fine) | 20:21 |
| sfire | X9nLinux1: you may want to just manually modify the xorg.conf file | 20:22 |
| sfire | I've found the GUI tools to be totally and completely useless | 20:22 |
| X9nLinux1 | wouldn't even have a clue how to do that. Hey, might have something finally starting to behave at least better. Will know in a minute | 20:24 |
| X9nLinux1 | ok, dropped to 1024 x 768 resolution and it not only works, mirroring also is working at the moment | 20:25 |

| fiendskull9 | i have a 22" widescreen monitor that supports 1680x1050. Ive just finished installing nvidia drivers and i can only go up to 1400x1050. Would the best way to fix this be in the x config, or is there a better way to do it in kubuntu? | 20:54 |
| sd32 | run the monitorwith the plug and play driver | 20:55 |
| fiendskull9 | sd32: the pnp driver didnt show 1680x1050 either | 20:56 |

| ScorpKing | !autostart | MrAgrid | 21:28 |
| ubotu | MrAgrid: To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. | 21:29 |

| sub[t]rnl | fiendskull9➜ free -m (pay attention to the buffer/cache line) Linux buffers and caches as much ram as it can. Trust me its a feature. | 21:42 |

| sub[t]rnl | fiendskull9➜ run free -m and look at the buffer/cache for an idea of how much is "really" being used | 21:43 |
| fiendskull9 | ah 1.4gb | 21:43 |
| fiendskull9 | cached | 21:43 |
| sub[t]rnl | Liono➜ auth.log should catch any sudo based, if not you can always grep the users ~/.bash_history | 21:43 |
| fiendskull9 | so when i need ram itll just throw something out of cache not being used? | 21:44 |
| vlt | sub[t]rnl: Thank you. I enabled -backports in sources.list. Now a huge amount of packages are marked as to be updated. How can I avoid this? | 21:44 |
| sub[t]rnl | fiendskull9➜ if you need more ram than is available, linux frees up whats in its buffer, yes | 21:44 |

| biovore | surgy: I think the best you could do is use gimp.. Its not plainly obvious that you can do that kind of stuff with it.. So might want keep it as a last resort kind of thing. | 21:58 |
| NickPresta | simon12, compiz --replace && emerald --replace | 21:58 |
| BluesKaj | surgy, try the new gimpshop app | 21:58 |
| sub[t]rnl | wonder why emerald isn't loading for him like it should though.. | 21:59 |

| vlt | sub[t]rnl: What happens to updates of this package when I disable the repo after installing the package? | 22:00 |
| ubotu | surgy: gimpshop is a hack that makes The Gimp look and feel more like Photoshop. A .deb for Ubuntu is available via http://plasticbugs.com/?page_id=294 | 22:00 |
| biovore | it dosn't get updated anymore.. | 22:01 |
| sub[t]rnl | vlt➜ ^^ | 22:01 |
| prince_jammys | surgy i think there's a package that does exactly what you want but i don't remember what it's called .... | 22:01 |
| surgy | BluesKaj: i dont think acting like photo shop will work for me | 22:01 |
| Arwen | rather than use a UI hack on GIMP... why not use real Photoshop | 22:01 |
| Arwen | ? | 22:01 |
| NickPresta | Arwen, because Photoshop costs several hundred dollars | 22:01 |
| Arwen | on an entirely other note, is there a good KDE image editor? | 22:01 |
| NickPresta | Arwen, Krita is decent. | 22:02 |
| prince_jammys | Arwen: krita | 22:02 |
| Arwen | NickPresta, and a UI hack feels just as cheap as it is | 22:02 |
| vlt | So what is the reccommended way to define which packages from -backport to use and which not? | 22:02 |
| Arwen | vlt, in /etc/apt/preferences with pins | 22:02 |
| vlt | Arwen: Thank you, I'll check this ... | 22:02 |

| NickPresta | simon12, you should just click on it. The changes should happen on the fly | 22:07 |

| vlt | ahmos: Hidden files begin with a ".", so rename it. | 22:09 |

| conorn | Can anybody help me with startup programs please? Is there a GUI option in Kubuntu (7.10)? I've tried command line, to no avail :9 | 22:34 |
| NickPresta | conorn, To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local | 22:36 |
| BluesKaj | conorn, or you can also, alt+F2 , kdesu konqueror /usr/share/autostart , then add the app you'd like to autostart by dragging it into the file page | 22:37 |
| BluesKaj | and saving | 22:37 |

| _Angelus_ | guys | 22:49 |
| _Angelus_ | somebody knows a linux application that can convert videos to 3gp format? | 22:49 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | !find 3gp | 22:49 |
| ubotu | Package/file 3gp does not exist in gutsy | 22:50 |
| Arwen | _Angelus_, 3GP = castrated MP4 | 22:50 |
| Arwen | !find MP4Box | 22:50 |
| ubotu | Package/file mp4box does not exist in gutsy | 22:51 |
| ConstyXIV | does gutsy have the WebKit konqueror? | 22:51 |
| _Angelus_ | Arwen: wrong , there are 2 types of 3GP :) | 22:51 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | the kind that sucks and the kind that really really sucks? | 22:51 |
| _Angelus_ | Arwen: there is the h263 and the mpeg4 types of 3gp | 22:52 |
| Arwen | _Angelus_, I'm assuming you don't mean "Nokia 7650 Video Recorder Video File"? | 22:52 |
| Arwen | otherwise there's only one kind of 3gp | 22:52 |
| shuman | hi there everyone :) | 22:52 |
| Arwen | either way, you just need a video encoder and mp4box from gpac | 22:53 |
| _Angelus_ | Arwen: there are those 2 i named , and i need the h263 format of 3gp file | 22:53 |
| Arwen | um... again, 3gp is just a container. It only has one format. | 22:53 |
| Arwen | you need mp4box and a video encoder | 22:53 |
| Arwen | perhaps MEncoder or ffmpeg | 22:53 |
| simon12 | hmmmm I think something is wrong with my emerald. nothing happens when I run emerlad from the console. and when I select a theme in the emerald manager nothing happens. Not to mention that my decoration totaly disappears when I run compiz. Anyone? | 22:53 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | simon12: emerald --replace | 22:54 |
| shuman | can anyone please tell me how are multimedia keys mapped in kubuntu? I'm curious how it's done... | 22:54 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | and if that doesn't work, #compiz-fusion would probably work better | 22:54 |
| ConstyXIV | i know konqueror has a adblock-like, but does it have anything like noscript? | 22:55 |
| Enissay | i cant access to my exernal hard disk.... but i can access as root... and when i try to copy a file from there it says that the file doesn't exist!!!!! any help... | 22:56 |
| conorn | Do I have to get Mplayer do stream Divx? | 22:56 |
| conorn | Do I have to get Mplayer *to stream Divx? | 22:56 |
| Arwen | conorn, in order to do what? And MPlayer can't stream anything. | 22:56 |
| conorn | Stream Divx from eg. Stage6 | 22:56 |
| Arwen | um... playing streams is not referred to as "streaming" | 22:57 |
| Arwen | for future reference | 22:57 |
| Arwen | and no you don't, you just need a player that can handle AVI with XviD and MP3 | 22:57 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | preferred: vlc | 22:57 |
| conorn | yes, like VLC player | 22:57 |
| Arwen | preferred: mplayer | 22:57 |
| * Arwen hates VLC. Especially on Kubuntu. | 22:57 | |
| conorn | sorry, I'll elaborate a bit | 22:57 |
| shuman | so nobody knows how it works? | 22:58 |
| Arwen | VLC doesn't randomly crash when using the open dialog for anyone else? | 22:58 |
| conorn | I need to "play a stream" on web page (stage6) using VLC, preferably. | 23:00 |
| Arwen | um... open -> stream -> enter URL | 23:00 |
| ecue | can someone point me in the dual head monitor set up site again | 23:00 |
| sourcemaker | Is it possible to synchronize kcalender with lotus notes? | 23:01 |
| conorn | yes, ok, but imbedded in a web page....ir. VLc plugin? | 23:01 |
| conorn | yes, ok, but imbedded in a web page....ie. VLC plugin? | 23:01 |
| sourcemaker | And can I synchronize my blackberry with linux?? | 23:01 |
| NickPresta | ecue, Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 23:02 |
| Arwen | conorn, why would you ever want video inside a browser? And no, that doesn't work with anything at all last I checked. | 23:04 |
| Arwen | and last I checked, VLC plugin doesn't do anything right | 23:04 |
| conorn | Arwen, because it worked no problems in Ubuntu with Mplayer, and I've just switched to Kubuntu and am just curious. | 23:05 |
| conorn | It's things like these are important IMO, aimple thinga you qould expect to just......WORK! | 23:07 |
| conorn | BTw...I'm only a bit drunk | 23:07 |
| Arwen | well, actually, my opinion is that no browser should ever do anything besides show web pages | 23:07 |
| Arwen | so... | 23:07 |
| conorn | well, you are obviously a good spokesperson for the integration of Linux into society...... | 23:09 |
| Arwen | please, the very core UNIX philosophy is "one tool to do one job" | 23:10 |

| conorn | c'mon, get with the times, stop being so idealistic | 23:10 |
| Arwen | um... no? | 23:11 |
| Arwen | anyway, if mplayer-plugin does it for you, go use it | 23:11 |
| conorn | helpful. | 23:11 |
| ecue | thank you | 23:13 |
| ecue | i've tried a million ways | 23:13 |

| shaffy | i hope someone can help me with my problem. does anyone know of a way to reinstall the network/connection manager without have your linux box connected to the internet? can i just download the necessary packages to a flash drive and install them from there? | 23:28 |
| sfire | yep... you can download the packages and all dependancies | 23:29 |
| sfire | just tell it to install it and see what it is going to want... then go download them | 23:29 |
| Arwen | shaffy, yes. Just make sure you download all of them. | 23:29 |
| shaffy | sfire and arwen: is there anyway to connect my box to the net without a manager? | 23:31 |
| Arwen | yeah | 23:31 |
| Arwen | ifconfig | 23:31 |
| shaffy | will that work for wireless, too? | 23:31 |
| Arwen | probably not | 23:31 |
| shaffy | okay, so i'll just plug it in, | 23:32 |
| shaffy | and is there any special commands for ifconfig? | 23:32 |
| Arwen | <ifconfig up/down interface> :-P | 23:32 |
| Arwen | probably "ifconfig up eth0" | 23:32 |
| sfire | shaffy: wireless is iwconfig | 23:33 |
| shaffy | okay, so with ifconfig, if i plug in my ethernet cable, and input "ifconfig up eth0" it should allow me to use the net? | 23:34 |
| sfire | 95% of the time yes | 23:34 |
| shaffy | hehe okay. | 23:34 |
| sfire | unless the router doesn't have DHCP or something | 23:35 |

| Arwen | hmm, I dunno, never tried these things | 23:39 |
| nosrednaekim | shaffie » you may have to say "ifconfig eth0 up" | 23:40 |
| Arwen | hmm, I knew I was doing something wrong | 23:40 |
| shaffie | nosrednaekim: the problem is, when i just type ifconfig, it only lists "lo" eth0 is not even present | 23:40 |
| Arwen | that's because it's not up | 23:41 |
| nosrednaekim | shaffie » right... because its not up. | 23:41 |

| shaffie | hehe | 23:41 |

| Arwen | ping [IP address] | 23:47 |
| sub[t]rnl | ubuntu_➜ k, the grub equivalent would be (hd0,3). So when the grub screen comes up, hit "e" and enter that | 23:47 |
| shaffie | it says the network is unreachable | 23:47 |
| nosrednaekim | shaffie » now that its up, run "sudo dhclient eth0" | 23:47 |

| Arwen | or... never mind | 23:48 |
| BluesKaj | ubuntu_, yes , you may have to put a # (or comment) the line Hiddenmenu in the boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:48 |

| Arwen | you want X11 autologin, somewhere under the users control panel | 23:51 |
| Arwen | Stoffer, ^^ | 23:51 |
| Stoffer | Arwen, what if I disable kwallet, because only the network manager uses it | 23:51 |
| shaffie | can anyone help me to connect my linux box to the internet via ethernet cable and ifconfig? (i do not have a network manager installed and i can't install one w/o the internet) | 23:51 |
| Arwen | Stoffer, won't affect anything (other than network manager) | 23:51 |
| nosrednaekim | shaffie » did you try running dhclient? | 23:51 |
| ubuntu_ | can I use qpart, delete partition and reload kubuntu | 23:51 |
| Stoffer | Arwen, will the network manager save the password itself? | 23:51 |
| Dr_willis | with a wired connection, you should jjust be able to plug it in. and when ya boot up - it defsults to dhcp | 23:51 |
| Arwen | Stoffer, yeah, just not encrypted | 23:52 |
