| ubuntu | kisi | 00:00 |
| PRODIM | i installed kubuntu because i want kde ubuntu :) | 00:00 |
| mkquist | well if it works on live cd then it should work on hd install... so somethings screwed up in the xorg.conf i would think | 00:04 |
| mkquist | PRODIM: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but pick vesa or vga and see if you screen works... even at a lower resolution | 00:05 |
| PRODIM | ok | 00:06 |
| mkquist | PRODIM: you can always put it back if it doesnt help =p | 00:06 |
| PRODIM | i will use vga and 640x480 | 00:06 |

| ubotu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 00:09 |

| K`zan | Is there a special channel for the ubuntu server? | 00:18 |
| stansmith | mrunagi sup dude | 00:19 |
| tekteen | K`zan: #ubuntu is for server and desktop | 00:19 |
| stansmith | !ubuntu-server | K`zan | 00:19 |
| ubotu | K`zan: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support | 00:19 |
| tekteen | oh | 00:19 |
| mrunagi | what kind of server | 00:20 |
| stansmith | a patchy? LOL | 00:20 |
| mrunagi | server for webpages? | 00:20 |
| tekteen | lol | 00:20 |
| stansmith | thats how apache got its name you know | 00:21 |
| stansmith | it was "a patchy" web server | 00:21 |
| mrunagi | i dunno much about apache | 00:21 |
| deuryte | Oloughlin75: i found it in add/remove it was to enhanvce and give firewall more options, which i removed, the other wasthis " Pnscan is a multi threaded port scanner that can scan a large network very quickly. If does not have all the features that nmap have but is much faster."// which i am unable to access or see. | 00:21 |
| Oloughlin75 | !firewall | deuryte | 00:22 |
| ubotu | deuryte: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 00:22 |
| stansmith | hey guys, im having trouble running xeyes | 00:22 |
| mrunagi | am i the only one that doesnt worry about firewalls? | 00:22 |
| Oloughlin75 | deuryte, use IPTables and I would remove al lblocked ports/IPs | 00:22 |
| stansmith | i dont, but i prob should | 00:22 |
| mrunagi | eh | 00:22 |
| deuryte | Oloughlin75: i have firestarter already but thought gaurdog would help even more, this is what it said.........Guarddog is a firewall configuration utility for KDE. It is aimed at two groups of users: novice to intermediate users who are not experts in TCP/IP networking and security, and those users who don't want the hassle of dealing with cryptic shell scripts and ipchains/iptables parameters. | 00:23 |
| Wasserstoff | I will give you | 00:23 |

| feierfox | hmmm, soon i have to install a *buntu on a laptop. i will never see this laptop again and the user are not interessted into *buntu. is kubuntu the right choise? i ask because it will not have LTS :/ | 00:39 |
| feierfox | what would you do? | 00:39 |
| feierfox | personal i prefer KDE, no question | 00:39 |
| nosrednaekim | feierfox» well, if you are installing gutsy, neither have LTS | 00:40 |
| feierfox | hmm? | 00:40 |
| feierfox | i talk about hardy | 00:40 |
| feierfox | and it's a hard question for moe | 00:40 |
| feierfox | giving this person a kubuntu WITHOUT LTS or a ubuntu with LTS | 00:41 |
| feierfox | and i prefer KDE and would wish to spread it | 00:41 |
| Wasserstoff | then use kde | 00:41 |
| Wasserstoff | lts is not that big of a deal | 00:41 |
| Wasserstoff | for the average joe | 00:41 |
| nosrednaekim | feierfox» do KDE.... within 18 months they will probably want to upgrade anyway... Dell is going with Gutsy | 00:42 |
| feierfox | hmm, when i have installed the *buntu, i will never see this laptop again | 00:42 |
| feierfox | and the owner isn interessted into it | 00:42 |
| feierfox | so i think LTS would be much improtant | 00:43 |
| tekteen | feierfox: I had the same issue | 00:43 |
| feierfox | because the person would never do a dist-upgrade | 00:43 |
| tekteen | feierfox: yes the person would | 00:43 |
| feierfox | no | 00:43 |
| nosrednaekim | feierfox» you are installing Hardy NOW? | 00:43 |
| feierfox | never-ever :) | 00:43 |
| tekteen | feierfox: adept does it | 00:43 |
| tekteen | and tells the user about it | 00:43 |
| feierfox | no, in the beta stadium | 00:44 |
| feierfox | hmm, but if i chose kubuntu, on the next dist-upgrade the person is confronted by KDE 4 (!!!) | 00:45 |
| tekteen | feierfox: I am in a group that refurbs computers and ships them out with windows 2000 (for non-profits) or kubuntu (for people) | 00:45 |
| Wasserstoff | yes | 00:45 |
| Wasserstoff | and if you choose ubuntu | 00:45 |
| Wasserstoff | then on a dist upgrade hopefully in the near future | 00:45 |
| storbeck | Why are you installing Linux for someone if they have no idea how to use it? | 00:45 |
| Wasserstoff | the user is encountered by having to switch to kde | 00:45 |
| tekteen | feierfox: no the person would not get kde4 | 00:45 |
| Wasserstoff | because gnome has finally rolled over and died | 00:45 |
| Wasserstoff | and god knows its about time | 00:45 |
| feierfox | everything looks different and this will could confusing the person | 00:45 |
| tekteen | feierfox: the dist upgrade would upgrade kde3 | 00:46 |
| tekteen | I know | 00:46 |
| tekteen | the dist-upgrade will not install kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 00:46 |
| feierfox | storbeck, because i think ubuntu is the right coise for people without an idea | 00:46 |
| Wasserstoff | feierfox: then install it..? | 00:47 |
| Wasserstoff | I don't see what your problem is | 00:47 |
| storbeck | Install Windows. | 00:47 |
| tekteen | I know the problem | 00:47 |
| feierfox | tekteen, what will a dist-upgrade install then? | 00:47 |
| tekteen | update kubuntu-desktop | 00:47 |
| tekteen | which is kde3 | 00:47 |
| tekteen | I looked it up :-) | 00:48 |
| feierfox | my problem: leaving the laptop with a fresh installed LTS ubuntu or with a kubuntu (which i prefer) | 00:48 |
| tekteen | then go with kubuntu | 00:48 |
| Wasserstoff | then use it.. | 00:48 |
| feierfox | the person who owns the laptop, isnt'interessted in it | 00:48 |
| Wasserstoff | ALl you will get here | 00:48 |
| Wasserstoff | is opinions | 00:48 |
| tekteen | I install kubuntu with firefox and a few other programs | 00:48 |
| feierfox | so he will never make a dist-upgrade | 00:48 |
| Wasserstoff | and I'll tel you right now | 00:48 |
| Wasserstoff | that in the #kubuntu channel | 00:48 |
| Wasserstoff | the opnion will be, use kubuntu | 00:48 |
| tekteen | to make it easy | 00:48 |
| Wasserstoff | in the #ubuntu channel, the opinion will be use ubuntu | 00:48 |
| Wasserstoff | and thats that | 00:49 |
| feierfox | so the ubuntu with LTS would be the right choise | 00:49 |
| feierfox | but i prefer KDE! | 00:49 |
| tekteen | I like kubuntu | 00:49 |
| feierfox | me to! | 00:49 |
| Wasserstoff | well | 00:49 |
| tekteen | I had this problem | 00:49 |
| Wasserstoff | sounds like you have no end to your trouble then | 00:49 |
| Wasserstoff | I would suggest flipping a coin | 00:49 |
| tekteen | I went with kubuntu and a few gnome programs | 00:49 |
| Wasserstoff | as it's the only non-biased way of deciding | 00:49 |
| feierfox | or i teach the person using dsit-upgrade | 00:50 |
| feierfox | BUT, the he gets KDE4!! | 00:50 |
| feierfox | and this will confusing him! | 00:50 |
| feierfox | :O | 00:50 |
| Wasserstoff | yep | 00:50 |
| Wasserstoff | sounds like a coin it is | 00:50 |
| tekteen | feierfox: no he will not! | 00:50 |
| feierfox | yes | 00:50 |
| Wasserstoff | ubotu: do you happen to have a coin? | 00:50 |
| feierfox | :/ | 00:50 |
| tekteen | feierfox: hardy will use kde3 with a dist-upgrade | 00:50 |
| feierfox | what will he get then in 8.10, tekteen? | 00:50 |
| tekteen | KDE3 | 00:51 |
| Wasserstoff | no | 00:51 |
| tekteen | oh | 00:51 |
| Wasserstoff | eventually it will switch to kde4 | 00:51 |
| tekteen | yes | 00:51 |
| nosrednaekim | feierfox» thats a ways down the road. | 00:51 |
| feierfox | hardy... but waht is with the time after hardy | 00:51 |
| tekteen | that would be kde4 | 00:51 |
| feierfox | i cant touch this installation anymore | 00:51 |
| Wasserstoff | okay | 00:51 |
| Wasserstoff | then use gnome | 00:51 |
| Wasserstoff | you can rest assured | 00:51 |
| tekteen | I suggest gnome | 00:51 |
| Wasserstoff | knowing that they will never have a major update | 00:51 |
| Wasserstoff | ever | 00:51 |
| feierfox | but its "GNOME" | 00:51 |
| * tekteen kicks himself | 00:51 | |
| feierfox | JUST gnome!! | 00:51 |
| Wasserstoff | they are lucky to copy two features from kde every six months | 00:51 |
| Wasserstoff | feierfox: if we keep going in circles this is only going to get stupider | 00:52 |
| * tekteen kicks himself for saying use Ubuntu | 00:52 | |
| Wasserstoff | you knew the options when you came in here | 00:52 |
| Wasserstoff | and you sitll know them | 00:52 |
| Wasserstoff | stop being redundant | 00:52 |
| Wasserstoff | and just decide | 00:52 |
| feierfox | or... i will sleep over it | 00:52 |
| * tekteen says that asking can not help | 00:52 | |
| feierfox | ;/ | 00:52 |

| darko | login* screen | 02:00 |
| remedialjoe | when "nv" is set as the driver it tells me compatible NVIDIA X driver not found .. but when i run it with "nvidia" .. it still quits at "initializing system services" | 02:00 |
| remedialjoe | but no error message.. there is an (II) message saying, Module already built in" | 02:01 |
| panfist | where do i configure whether icons take single or double clicks? | 02:01 |
| BluesKaj | this is very strange , received this message when trying to install kubuntu on a formatted ext3 partition : http://www.pastebin.ca/918347 | 02:02 |

| BluesKaj | remedialjoe yeah, i had that earlier as well | 02:04 |
| remedialjoe | BluesKaj whats the deal?? | 02:04 |
| remedialjoe | what have I done/How can I repair/avoid | 02:04 |
| ere4si | BluesKaj, found this - http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DCOPserver | 02:04 |
| BluesKaj | dunno remedialjoe , been in and out of here all day asking about it , but i'm not getting any answers | 02:05 |
| remedialjoe | so did you just not update/install nvidia driver? | 02:05 |
| remedialjoe | are you using nvidia-glx as well? | 02:05 |
| panfist | for zip archives, if i right click on them i have an option to extract. that option is not available for rar files even though i have installed support for rars and they work fine in ark | 02:05 |
| remedialjoe | panfist install rar/unrar | 02:06 |
| remedialjoe | and it will work from GUI... type sudo apt-get install rar | 02:06 |
| remedialjoe | or search your add/remove for it | 02:06 |
| panfist | so should i uninstall unrar | 02:07 |
| remedialjoe | oh you installed unrar.. i thought that would have worked.. yah you might as well.. and see if the package rar works | 02:07 |
| panfist | not there | 02:07 |
| panfist | i just installed rar and the context menu entry is still not there | 02:07 |
| remedialjoe | for creating a rar or unraring .. if you are wanting to unrar .. just go ahead and extract | 02:08 |
| panfist | im trying to extract hundreds if not thousands of rars | 02:08 |
| panfist | being able to select more than one and being able to "extract here" would be nice | 02:08 |
| darko | does anyone know any movie player (.avi file) that supports subtitle... cuz I have separate subtitle file example subtitle.srt and ofcourse it's syncronized with movie time | 02:08 |
| panfist | ive tried figuring it out in the command line, | 02:08 |
| BluesKaj | ere4si, well thanks for the heads up but , it's too late now i, can't do anyrhing since I reformatted the partition...strange that this kde message kept re-appearing tho,http://www.pastebin.ca/918347 | 02:09 |
| panfist | unrar * doesn't work it just matches the first file and even then it doesnt unrar it | 02:09 |
| remedialjoe | what shows up when you select a bunch and right click? | 02:09 |
| remedialjoe | you could try going into the ark or whatever the unzipp program is called.. and then selecting them all inside the program itself | 02:10 |
| ere4si | BluesKaj, annoying more than strange - maybe | 02:10 |
| darko | does anyone know any movie player (.avi file) that supports subtitle... cuz I have separate subtitle file example subtitle.srt and ofcourse it's syncronized with movie time | 02:10 |
| panfist | the same thing that shows up if i select 1 rar and right click, it doesnt include extract. although it does for zips. ahhh i will try to browse from within ark and see what happens | 02:10 |
| panfist | ark doesnt support browsing like that it seems, like winrar does | 02:10 |
| remedialjoe | hrmm | 02:10 |
| ere4si | darko: vlc works with those | 02:10 |
| BluesKaj | gutsy hasn't been very stable for mysetup sunce I mistakenly upgraded kde to 3.5.9 ... | 02:10 |
| darko | ere4si: thanks | 02:11 |
| ere4si | k | 02:11 |
| darko | as I'm new any nice download manager ? | 02:11 |
| remedialjoe | I'd like to revert back to 7.04 .. but 7.10 uses so much less power :( | 02:11 |
| panfist | well there has to be a way to manually edit the context menu right> theres no reason i cant just manuall add an association for *.rar | 02:11 |
| remedialjoe | panfist after updating i can't even get into GUI.. so thats about as much as I can help for now .. :/ | 02:11 |
| panfist | did you try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 02:12 |
| remedialjoe | *nods | 02:12 |
| panfist | did you try to enable/disable the kernel framebuffer | 02:12 |
| ere4si | remedialjoe, tried the vesa driver from dpkg? | 02:12 |
| remedialjoe | freezes at "initializing system services" .. BluesKaj has had the same issue today as well | 02:15 |
| BluesKaj | remedialjoe , I'm gonn reinstall 7.10 , but without any language pack upgrades, that's what did me in this morning. | 02:15 |
| remedialjoe | hrmm.. I haven't (knowingly) installed anything like that .. | 02:15 |
| BluesKaj | also sticking with kde358 | 02:15 |
| remedialjoe | but there wasn an english-locale update i think | 02:15 |
| remedialjoe | how do i keep 7.10 from installing 3.5.9 ? | 02:15 |
| BluesKaj | i think i did the knee-jerk update. I'd better be more vigilant about the adept notifire from now on. | 02:15 |
| BluesKaj | remedialjoe, not to worry it's optional, 358 is the default | 02:15 |
| remedialjoe | ere4si no i have not .. i will attempt it | 02:15 |
| ere4si | works all the time but the resolution can be large... | 02:16 |

| ICM | I have followed several howtos on how to install Compiz Fusion under KDE 7.10, but no luck whatsoever. I'm running three monitors on two graphics cards, one is a dual-head Nvidia 7600GS, the other is an onboard 6150LE. Both are using the restricted driver 'nvidia', I believe, and I simply can't get compiz fusion to work. I'm just stuck. How do I enable it in KDE? | 02:31 |
| nosrednaekim | ICM» doesn't compiz not work with Twinview? | 02:32 |
| Dr_willis | icm try getting it going on one monitor/card first.. then go from there. | 02:32 |
| Dr_willis | Compiz does work with twinview for me - on my 8800 gts | 02:32 |
| Dr_willis | But thats just a single card. 2 video outs. | 02:32 |
| nosrednaekim | hum. | 02:33 |
| ICM | To be honest, I'm not sure how I have it set up. it's using Xineview or something of that sort? | 02:33 |
| nosrednaekim | !xinerama | 02:33 |
| ubotu | xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead | 02:33 |

| darko | does anyone know any good download manager except downloader for X | 02:34 |
| Dr_willis | the 2 are 'similer' things.. but twinview is nvidia's variatiion. I normally do not need xinerama enabled. | 02:34 |

| Dr_willis | darko, i never do. | 02:36 |
| ICM | So I may just have to give up on Compiz | 02:36 |
| ICM | Well, how is KDE 4 working out? How stable is it? Why.. would I want to upgrade, and *can* I upgrade? | 02:37 |
| nosrednaekim | ICM» yes, you can.... its faily stable... but somewhat lacking in features | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | ICM, Option "Xinerama" "0" | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | in xorg.conf turns OFF xine4rama | 02:37 |
| ICM | But why would I want it disabled, Dr_willis | 02:38 |
| ICM | nosrednaekim: What kind of features rae missing? :/ | 02:38 |
| Dr_willis | ICM, you DONT want to use xinerama WITH twinview.. its that simple. :) | 02:38 |
| Dr_willis | twinview supercedes xinerama | 02:38 |
| ICM | Dr_willis: alright.. so I can just hit the little 'X' to unchek it... | 02:38 |
| ICM | uncheck* | 02:38 |
| Dr_willis | ICM, i have no idea what check box enables/disalbes what. :) thats why i posted the line from the xorg.conf | 02:38 |
| Dr_willis | is the X to 'disable' it or 'X to enable it' :) and so on. | 02:39 |
| darko | nosrednaekim: any idea how to integrate kget in firefox ? | 02:39 |
| ICM | Well, I suppose I need to restart X. | 02:39 |
| ICM | Be right back (I hope) | 02:39 |
| Reconizer | can anyone help me please what do i do when i want to download a linux application which isnt listed in synaptic when i search for it? | 02:39 |
| Reconizer | nalioth | 02:39 |
| Dr_willis | sudo nvidia-xconfig --no-xinerama | 02:39 |
| Dr_willis | should also disable it. :) | 02:40 |
| Reconizer | Bruce | 02:40 |
| Reconizer | :-) | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis | ICM on a complex setup like you got - I imagien you will have to do some manual editing of the xorg.conf - Or get very lucky with the nvidia tools. | 02:40 |
| nalioth | Reconizer: what's up? | 02:41 |
| Reconizer | can anyone help me please what do i do when i want to download a linux application which isnt listed in synaptic when i search for it? | 02:41 |
| Reconizer | i want to install xmind | 02:41 |
| Reconizer | but its not in synaptic | 02:41 |
| Dr_willis | use the source and cmpile it - is the normal way | 02:41 |
| ICM | So yes, I disabled Xinerama. | 02:42 |
| ICM | now KDE won't start | 02:42 |
| ICM | I'm.. in irssi right now | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | sudo nvidia-xconfig --enable-all-gpus | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | 02:42 | |
| storbeck | xmind isn't in the repos because it cost $100 | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | nvidia-xconfig -A (shows 1000+ options you can set) | 02:43 |
| Reconizer | Dr_willis i dont know how | 02:43 |
| Reconizer | :( | 02:43 |
| Reconizer | it has a binary tar | 02:43 |
| ICM | Dr_willis: --enable-all-gpus didn't work | 02:43 |
| remedialjoe | the the basic english language pack that is breaking kubuntu | 02:43 |
| ICM | couldn't honor it, as it couldn't determine the # of GPUs in this | 02:43 |
| ICM | You know what, why did I disable Xinerama in the first place? | 02:44 |
| ICM | Seriously, it was working. Compiz wasn't | 02:44 |
| Dr_willis | ICM, you want to use Twinview NOT xinerama. | 02:44 |
| ICM | Alright, then how the hell do I actually get KDE to start | 02:44 |
| ICM | You keep telling me I want to use twinview not xinerama but not why | 02:44 |
| raoman | i need help. my adept manager is not working....... | 02:44 |
| Dr_willis | nvidia-xconfig --twinview to enable twniview | 02:44 |
| Dr_willis | ICM, i said earlier that twinview supercedes xinerams | 02:45 |
| Dr_willis | IT replaces it.. its Nvidias replacement for it.. | 02:45 |
| remedialjoe | http://pastebin.com/d5fa6a2f6 <-- Packages breaking update right now | 02:45 |
| ICM | May I attempt to restart X now, Dr_willis ? | 02:45 |
| Dr_willis | ICM, go for it. :) | 02:45 |
| ICM | actually, I'm not sure how one does that, without x actually running | 02:45 |
| ICM | >_< | 02:45 |
| Dr_willis | try 'startx' | 02:45 |
| ICM | because that makes too much sense, forgot about that | 02:45 |
| ICM | Fatal Server Error: No Screens Found | 02:46 |
| Dr_willis | it might of been a good idea to backup your original xorg.conf first. also. | 02:46 |
| storbeck | !xorg | 02:46 |
| ubotu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 02:46 |
| ICM | a.. bit late | 02:46 |
| Dr_willis | there may be backups allready in the /etc/X11 dir | 02:46 |
| ICM | Alright... but um... | 02:46 |
| ICM | What do I do now | 02:46 |
| Dr_willis | jot down this "if all else fails' ---> # sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 02:47 |
| Dr_willis | that is the 'lets start over and reconfigure X' command. :) | 02:47 |
| remedialjoe | -phigh ? | 02:47 |
| robert__ | good! | 02:47 |
| ICM | Are you kidding me | 02:47 |
| ICM | I don't have the time for this | 02:47 |
| remedialjoe | yea thats what i'm saying | 02:48 |
| ICM | I mean... Seriously | 02:48 |
| Dr_willis | reenable xinerama then. and it may get ya back working. | 02:48 |
| Dr_willis | You are trying to do a complex thing. with 2 cards. | 02:48 |
| storbeck | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 02:48 |
| ICM | Works perfectly well in Windows | 02:48 |
| Dr_willis | I have spent many an hr reading the nvidia readmes and docs.. | 02:48 |
| Dr_willis | ICM, and that proves very little. | 02:48 |
| remedialjoe | yah XP is far superior man | 02:48 |
| storbeck | lol @ XP is superior | 02:49 |
| remedialjoe | they have thousands of developers getting paid | 02:49 |
| remedialjoe | to make things work | 02:49 |
| Dr_willis | more time reading,learning. | 02:49 |
| remedialjoe | vs ubuntu breaking monthly | 02:49 |
| MimmoX | hi everyone | 02:49 |
| Dr_willis | remedialjoe, and some times it actually does work! :) | 02:49 |
| storbeck | No, Ubuntu doesn't break. | 02:49 |
| storbeck | The USER breaks it. | 02:49 |
| remedialjoe | no xp always worked for me | 02:49 |
| remedialjoe | i just liked the idea of free software | 02:49 |
| Dr_willis | Xp wouldent even boot on my laptop. | 02:49 |
| remedialjoe | wow .. horrible laptop? | 02:49 |
| remedialjoe | how old is that | 02:49 |
| Dr_willis | and there was nothing i could do to 'force' it to boot. | 02:49 |
| ICM | Dr_willis: you're far better wtih configuring X than I am | 02:50 |
| Dr_willis | it was brand new one. had vista.. whiped out vista. | 02:50 |
| remedialjoe | that's the most rediculous thing i've heard of.. unless your disc/ drive is broken | 02:50 |
| ICM | ~_~ | 02:50 |
| Dr_willis | ICM, yes.. and ive spent many an hr working with xorg.conf files and manually tweaking twinview settings. | 02:50 |
| ICM | Well I don't have "many an hr" | 02:50 |
| remedialjoe | no kidding | 02:50 |
| ICM | the only way at this rate is to reinstall Kubuntu | 02:50 |
| Dr_willis | ICM, check /etc/X11/ for a backup of xorg.conf OR use that command i noted earlier to totally reconfigure X. | 02:51 |
| remedialjoe | good luck updating 7.10 right now | 02:51 |
| Dr_willis | reinstalling is overkill and 'windows' thinking. | 02:51 |
| ICM | there are various configs, no clue which one is the correct one | 02:51 |
| storbeck | ICM, do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 02:51 |
| storbeck | and be done with it | 02:51 |
| Dr_willis | using 2 seperate video cards - can be a real real real big pain. | 02:52 |
| remedialjoe | with linux* | 02:52 |
| Dr_willis | 1 video card with 2+ outputs is much easier. | 02:52 |
| ICM | storbeck: What will that do? | 02:52 |
| storbeck | It will reconfigure your xorg | 02:52 |
| ICM | Dr_willis: I don't have all the f'n money in the world, alright, this worked | 02:52 |
| storbeck | Set it back to defaults. | 02:52 |
| remedialjoe | ICM: I agree with storbeck even tho i'm bashing linux right now | 02:52 |
| ICM | heh, 'bashing linux' | 02:52 |
| ICM | anyway | 02:52 |
| Dr_willis | its more of 'ranting and rambling' :) | 02:53 |
| remedialjoe | it will take 3 minutes | 02:53 |
| ICM | storbeck: so my work is... gone | 02:53 |
| raoman | im using kubuntu 7.10 n i'm facing problems updating n my external drives wudn't mount either. does the same happen with kubuntu 6.10??- need some advice guys.... | 02:53 |
| remedialjoe | ICM: not at all just run what storbek says and it will re configure you xserver to run again | 02:53 |
| mrunagi_ | is there any way to get mounting an iso act like mounting an actual disk and sit on the desktop and in storage media? | 02:53 |
| Dr_willis | work is gone? this isent windows... | 02:53 |
| storbeck | It doesn't format your computer. | 02:53 |
| mrunagi_ | raoman: are they ntfs? | 02:53 |
| storbeck | It just reconfigures your X | 02:53 |
| Dr_willis | mrunagi_, ive used the fuseiso tool to get them there.. | 02:53 |
| Dr_willis | !info fuseiso | 02:53 |
| ICM | That's not what I meant, I meant in terms of positioning monitors and such >_< | 02:53 |
| ubotu | fuseiso (source: fuseiso): FUSE module to mount ISO filesystem images. In component universe, is optional. Version 20070507-1 (gutsy), package size 20 kB, installed size 92 kB | 02:53 |
| mrunagi_ | cool ill try that Dr_willis | 02:54 |
| ICM | if TwinView is so great, why is it not working, eh? | 02:54 |
| storbeck | ICM, what would you rather have? No X, or a default X? | 02:54 |
| remedialjoe | ICM: Yes .. unless you can find a backup xorg.conf .. there *should be one | 02:54 |
| ICM | I'm trying to find the command in my scrollback | 02:54 |
| ICM | xD | 02:54 |
| mrunagi_ | raoman: ? | 02:54 |
| Dr_willis | ICM, go read the twinview docs befor ranting about twinview. is a good idea. There may be some options for 2 seperate video cards that ive not used. | 02:54 |
| raoman | mrunagi: yup... but they worked fine whien i used 7.10 (genome) | 02:54 |
| remedialjoe | icm nano bash_history | 02:55 |
| ICM | "may be" -_- | 02:55 |
| mrunagi_ | raoman: what happens when you plug them in | 02:55 |
| Dr_willis | by using xinerama - instead of twinview - you will be loseing some features. Such as windows try ingto maxamize across both monitors. (i recall that being a big issue), and proberly other ones as well. | 02:55 |
| raoman | mrunagi: nuthing pops up until i re-boot my system | 02:55 |
| mrunagi_ | and when you manually mount them? | 02:56 |
| remedialjoe | should i stay or should i upgrade ... *sings.. Should i stay or should I upppgraaade | 02:56 |
| ICM | Dr_willis: I don't give a crap about that feature | 02:56 |
| remedialjoe | *guitar rif | 02:56 |
| === firephoto_ is now known as firephoto | ||
| mrunagi_ | Dr_willis: what is iocharset? | 02:57 |
| ICM | different monitors that are on different levels in terms of height in comparison to one another | 02:57 |
| Dr_willis | mrunagi_, dosent sound familer to me. | 02:57 |
| raoman | mrunagi: i havent tried it man, im still new to linux, im not gud at it. how do i do it anyway? | 02:57 |
| remedialjoe | ICM: Sounds like you have quite the control center there.. have you heard of "synergy" | 02:57 |
| mrunagi_ | what was the string you would type to mount an iso with fusio | 02:57 |
| ICM | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org is what I'm about to try, per storbeck's recommendation | 02:58 |
| remedialjoe | ICM: Unrelated.. but runs on windows/mac/linux .. lets you mouse/keyboard work between all machines networked | 02:58 |
| ICM | remedialjoe: yes, I use it. | 02:58 |
| remedialjoe | =D | 02:58 |
| remedialjoe | slick | 02:58 |
| remedialjoe | hmm | 02:58 |
| Dr_willis | synergy - is a handy tool to rember. :) | 02:59 |
| raoman | mrunagi: /dev/sda1 ...? | 02:59 |
| remedialjoe | i'm scared to upgrade the latest language packs.. i'm afraid kmserver won't start again | 03:00 |
| mrunagi_ | Dr_willis: i installed and used fuseiso but it didnt sit on the desktop or in storage media | 03:00 |
| ICM | storbeck: dpkg-reconfigure: command not found | 03:00 |
| remedialjoe | is there an equivalent of windows' "restore point" feature ? | 03:00 |
| mrunagi_ | remedialjoe: yea | 03:00 |
| ICM | nevermind, typo | 03:01 |
| mrunagi_ | !keep | remedialjoe | 03:01 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about keep - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:01 |
| mrunagi_ | wow ok | 03:01 |
| ICM | storbeck: it tells me that xserver-org isn't installed :/ | 03:01 |
| mrunagi_ | its called keep | 03:01 |
| remedialjoe | awesome.. ty | 03:01 |
| Dr_willis | mrunagi_, no idea there. I normally just mount the thing manually. I thought it showed an icon on my desktop. | 03:01 |
| storbeck | Heh | 03:01 |
| ere4si | !info keep | 03:01 |
| ubotu | keep (source: keep): backup system for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 0.4.0-1ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 202 kB, installed size 1156 kB | 03:01 |
| ICM | something tells me, that's... um.. quite a problem | 03:01 |
| Dr_willis | mrunagi_, but i normally keep all icons off the desktop | 03:01 |
| mrunagi_ | id be fine if it was just in storage media | 03:02 |
| storbeck | xorg | 03:02 |
| storbeck | not org | 03:02 |
| remedialjoe | Is this going to backup links? | 03:02 |
| Dr_willis | mrunagi_, thats a special feature of the file manager. kioslave. Not sure how to make anything else show up there. | 03:02 |
| remedialjoe | i'm looking at keep.. do i just set "/" as the folder i want.. and if i do that.. will it decide to backup my external media mounts? | 03:02 |
| remedialjoe | or will it just show them as dead links | 03:02 |
| Dr_willis | "if all else fails' ---> # sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 03:03 |
| storbeck | ICM, you have to sudo when using dpkg-reconfigure | 03:03 |
| Dr_willis | with or without the -phigh :) | 03:03 |
| ICM | I did, I'm doing it now | 03:03 |
| storbeck | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 03:03 |
| ICM | but I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing. | 03:03 |
| remedialjoe | just keep hitting yes | 03:03 |
| remedialjoe | until the emultate 3 button mouse | 03:03 |
| remedialjoe | and then up until "save file" | 03:03 |
| remedialjoe | lol | 03:03 |
| remedialjoe | do i have to exclude /dev and /media and others? with keep? | 03:04 |
| ICM | storbeck: Well, I went through it. Now what? | 03:04 |
| remedialjoe | startx | 03:04 |
| storbeck | ^ | 03:04 |
| mrunagi_ | does anyone know of any emulators for .iso in kubuntu? | 03:04 |
| ICM | wouldn't it be wise to do /etc/init.d/kdm restart ? | 03:04 |
| remedialjoe | its not started? | 03:05 |
| storbeck | ICM, if it makes you happy. Sure | 03:05 |
| ICM | I have no clue | 03:05 |
| ICM | Fatal Server Error: no screens found | 03:05 |
| ICM | I'm going to cut my losses and reinstall. | 03:05 |
| mrunagi_ | ICM: dont do that | 03:05 |
| remedialjoe | uhm | 03:05 |
| Dr_willis | OR look for a backed up xorg.conf file | 03:05 |
| mrunagi_ | ICM: stop! | 03:05 |
| ICM | I did, Dr_willis . | 03:05 |
| mrunagi_ | no no man startx see what it says | 03:06 |
| Dr_willis | but its work time for me.. good luck. | 03:06 |
| remedialjoe | are you using nvidia driver? | 03:06 |
| remedialjoe | you may have to set the driver back to "nvidia" instead of "nv" | 03:06 |
| mrunagi_ | start x should tell him why | 03:06 |
| remedialjoe | no screens found * ? | 03:07 |
| ICM | yes. | 03:07 |
| storbeck | no screens founds means that you don't have the right drivers for your chipset | 03:08 |
| storbeck | copy /var/log/Xorg.0.log in pastebin | 03:08 |
| ICM | used 'nv' this time | 03:09 |
| ICM | insteda of 'nvidia' | 03:09 |
| remedialjoe | ICM: have you updated recently? | 03:10 |
| remedialjoe | i'm not saying you should | 03:10 |
| remedialjoe | ! | 03:10 |
| remedialjoe | i am just wondering.. cause updating seems to break my xorg ATM | 03:10 |
| ICM^ | remedialjoe: I did what you said, but backwards (using 'nv' instead of 'nvidia') | 03:11 |
| remedialjoe | ICM did this get you back into x? | 03:11 |
| ICM^ | yes | 03:12 |
| remedialjoe | hoorah | 03:12 |
| ICM^ | though I did get the error (EE) Failed to initialize GLX Extension (compatible nvidia X driver not found) | 03:12 |
| remedialjoe | yah that is what i am getting right now | 03:12 |
| remedialjoe | right when its .. "initializing system services" | 03:12 |
| nosrednaekim | probably a borked kernel module... | 03:12 |
| remedialjoe | no | 03:12 |
| ICM^ | well, it's just in the VT | 03:12 |
| remedialjoe | its the latest language pack update | 03:12 |
| ICM^ | doesn't affect anything | 03:12 |
| remedialjoe | oh you were able to get in? | 03:12 |
| remedialjoe | fully? | 03:12 |
| ICM^ | yes | 03:12 |
| remedialjoe | right on | 03:12 |
| ICM^ | except I don't have my other monitors | 03:13 |
| remedialjoe | that sucks | 03:13 |
| ICM^ | I'll have to reconfigure them | 03:13 |
| ICM^ | I hope twinview is a package. | 03:13 |
| remedialjoe | i think its built into xorg .. and is just an xorg.conf option .. but i'm not 100% | 03:13 |
| ICM^ | oh, of course it isn't | 03:13 |
| storbeck | Try pressing ctrl + alt + backspace | 03:13 |
| ICM^ | that broke it | 03:14 |
| ICM^ | it certainly stopped | 03:14 |
| ICM^ | but didn't restart | 03:14 |
| storbeck | Hrm | 03:14 |
| remedialjoe | type startx again | 03:14 |
| remedialjoe | but like | 03:14 |
| remedialjoe | it will *restart instead of quit when you reboot | 03:14 |
| remedialjoe | but you are in singal user mode right now | 03:14 |
| ICM^ | I'm rebooting my system right now | 03:14 |
| remedialjoe | or something like that | 03:14 |
| remedialjoe | *hopes it goes into xwindows for ya | 03:15 |
| ICM^ | heh | 03:15 |
| ICM^ | grrr | 03:15 |
| remedialjoe | i'm gonna update and see if it is this new locales package.. | 03:15 |
| * ICM^ hits 'boot from first hard disk' >_< | 03:15 | |
| remedialjoe | lol | 03:15 |
| ICM^ | I still have an install disc in the drive | 03:15 |
| ICM^ | though I may reinstall anyway, just because I've had it installed for a day | 03:15 |
| ICM^ | and already, I screwed so much up | 03:15 |
| storbeck | Note: NV is not Nvidia | 03:15 |
| ICM^ | Nvidia > NV | 03:16 |
| ICM^ | that's as far as I know | 03:16 |
| ICM^ | well, storebe, remedialjoe, it booted and went into KDE | 03:16 |
| ICM^ | (yay?) | 03:16 |
| remedialjoe | you are further along then i am ICM | 03:16 |
| remedialjoe | :/ | 03:16 |
| ICM^ | I think I may give up on Compiz | 03:17 |
| ICM^ | which is complete crap because I totally want it :/ | 03:17 |
| remedialjoe | uhm | 03:17 |
| remedialjoe | icm | 03:17 |
| remedialjoe | yo | 03:17 |
| remedialjoe | what you can try is | 03:17 |
| remedialjoe | add another user | 03:17 |
| remedialjoe | and play with it on there | 03:17 |
| remedialjoe | so it doesn't effect your main user | 03:17 |
| storbeck | Have you run, nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals ? | 03:18 |
| remedialjoe | until you get it down pat and can implement | 03:18 |
| ICM^ | heh | 03:18 |
| ICM^ | storbeck: no | 03:18 |
| ICM^ | and should I be using the 'nvidia' drivers now? | 03:18 |
| storbeck | Well if you want to get back on nvidia | 03:18 |
| storbeck | I'm pretty sure you need to run that to use compiz on nvidia | 03:18 |
| ICM^ | alright, I have to restart the X server | 03:20 |
| ICM^ | control+alt+backspace? | 03:20 |
| ICM^ | Let us hope this works | 03:20 |
| storbeck | Yes | 03:20 |
| ICM^ | Well, KDE still loads | 03:21 |
| ICM^ | oh crap | 03:21 |
| remedialjoe | initializing system services? | 03:21 |
| ICM^ | it's doing that really messed up resolution crap | 03:21 |
| remedialjoe | oh | 03:21 |
| remedialjoe | you will have to run nvidia-settings | 03:21 |
| ICM^ | where you have to move your mouse to the edge of the screen | 03:21 |
| remedialjoe | sudo nvidia-settings | 03:21 |
| ICM^ | ... I also don't have a cursor | 03:21 |
| remedialjoe | ... | 03:21 |
| ICM^ | I have one, but it's transparent | 03:21 |
| ICM^ | I had this problem on this computer in gnome on Gentoo, KDE on Gentoo, Gnome on Ubuntu.. not now | 03:22 |
| ICM^ | and no one (After spending nine hours asking people) could figure it out | 03:22 |
| ICM^ | Looks like it is time for a reinstall | 03:22 |
| Reconizer | how do i install konversation through konsole? | 03:22 |
| remedialjoe | sudo apt-get install konversation | 03:22 |
| Reconizer | why the sudo? | 03:22 |
| remedialjoe | root access for apt-get | 03:23 |
| storbeck | Reconizer: Try doing it without sudo | 03:23 |
| storbeck | See what happens | 03:23 |
| remedialjoe | sudo = do as root | 03:23 |
| Reconizer | thanks | 03:24 |
| ICM^ | Guys, thanks for your help | 03:24 |
| ICM^ | I'm going to reinstall Kubuntu in a few days | 03:24 |
| Reconizer | yw icewater1an | 03:24 |

| Reconizer | for linux | 03:25 |
| remedialjoe | Reconizer: whats wrong with using a plugin for amarok? | 03:25 |
| storbeck | KDE 4 is still in major baby stages. | 03:25 |
| storbeck | You don't want it yet. | 03:25 |
| Reconizer | remedialjoe how does that work? | 03:25 |
| remedialjoe | Reconizer: you could try an amarok script/plugin .. go into amarok, go up to scripts and click get new | 03:25 |
| remedialjoe | there are a bunch | 03:25 |
| remedialjoe | some are so swet like right click look for youtube music video.. hehhe. but i'm sure there was an alarm clock plugin | 03:25 |

| Reconizer | i can use every linux app now | 03:26 |
| Reconizer | without using a lot of resources | 03:27 |

| espacious_ | i have an old lappy 1400 mhz 700 ram kubuntu works quite good, how would kde4 run? | 03:29 |
| remedialjoe | Reconizer: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=23160 | 03:29 |
| remedialjoe | Reconizer: Sorry.. i just looked.. just go back into the script manager for amarok.. and click on "get new scripts" | 03:30 |
| remedialjoe | its there .. called "weekalarm" | 03:30 |
| fignew | espacious_: KDE4 will run fine when it's ready | 03:31 |
| remedialjoe | welp here goes the upgrade.. will let you all know if the update on a fresh system without nvidia drivers breaks | 03:31 |
| remedialjoe | ;] | 03:31 |
| nosrednaekim | espacious_» kde4 is only using 300MB of RaM for me..so it should run fine | 03:31 |
| storbeck | You're going to be disappointed in kde4 | 03:32 |
| freyyr | hey, I'm having trouble starting a kde session. KDM loads up, but when I try to login, it reaches "Starting System Services" and loads back to the login screen. any ideas? | 03:32 |
| storbeck | The menubar is HUGE and you can't resize it. | 03:32 |
| freyyr | I'm currently at the console using BitchX. | 03:32 |
| remedialjoe | freyyr: JOIN THE CLUB | 03:32 |
| remedialjoe | that was me an hour ago | 03:32 |
| remedialjoe | you're running nvidia? | 03:32 |
| Daisuke_Ido | storbeck: some people like it, and you CAN resize it... requires a little editing though | 03:32 |
| freyyr | ATi. | 03:32 |
| remedialjoe | damn | 03:33 |
| remedialjoe | its the new language package | 03:33 |
| remedialjoe | that you just updated last | 03:33 |
| remedialjoe | i'm pretty sure | 03:33 |
| remedialjoe | i'm going through a re install right now | 03:33 |
| freyyr | yeah, that's what I just installed. | 03:33 |
| storbeck | How? | 03:33 |
| storbeck | I never found a configuration for it anywhere. | 03:33 |
| remedialjoe | freyyr: I re installed and upgraded, that did not work | 03:33 |
| remedialjoe | freyyr: its broken right now and nobody is saying boo diddly | 03:33 |

| freyyr | anyone submitted a bug report yet? | 03:34 |

| freyyr | I'll do it I guess... from LYNX. | 03:35 |
| fignew | espacious: correct | 03:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | there were changes committed to make it a) resizable and b) two rows | 03:35 |
| remedialjoe | nosrednaekim: Does anyone have access to add that into the topic? | 03:35 |
| espacious | ok thanks for quick info | 03:35 |
| freyyr | I thought we were past this. | 03:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | we have not gotten those changes here yet :\ | 03:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | but i knew i had seen info on the panel | 03:35 |
| storbeck | Hm? | 03:36 |
| nosrednaekim | remedialjoe» lemme see | 03:36 |
| freyyr | well, actually, maybe somebody else ought to submit the report. I've only got console access right now, and i'm not too quick with lynx. | 03:36 |
| remedialjoe | same here | 03:36 |
| remedialjoe | i'm in the same position. i hope someone does | 03:36 |

| bhuey | hello, I'm having problems installing a tftp package where /etc file aren't being installed that are needed. How do I fix this problem ? | 03:38 |
| bhuey | file=files | 03:38 |
| nosrednaekim | this is why I NEVER update | 03:38 |
| freyyr | really wish people would bugtest their packages before they go mainstream. | 03:39 |
| freyyr | and a lang pack... that's going to break a LOT of installs. | 03:39 |
| Arwen | freyyr, tell me about it.... In Hardy, one of the devs released a "firefox-dev" package that... installs nothing. | 03:40 |

| Wasserstoff | Welcome to the redundant train | 03:43 |
| Wasserstoff | choo choo | 03:43 |
| nosrednaekim | bleh!... no ops are answering.. | 03:43 |
| remedialjoe | also the original upgrading glitch is still there ??? | 03:43 |

| Wasserstoff | It's not in the topic :) | 03:43 |
| storbeck | I was seeing if it would give any suggestions how to add to it. | 03:44 |
| freyyr | why the hell do you even need to update a friggin' language pack? have languages magically changed since november? | 03:44 |
| remedialjoe | how could this not be checked | 03:44 |
| remedialjoe | before being "okayed" | 03:44 |
| freyyr | well, it's a main package. so everyone's gonna get it. | 03:44 |
| nosrednaekim | remedialjoe» complain in #kubuntu-devel ;) | 03:44 |
| remedialjoe | same with the upgrade glitch | 03:44 |
| nosrednaekim | though... no-one is around there | 03:44 |
| Wasserstoff | mm | 03:44 |
| remedialjoe | which is still there, even though we are 5 betas into the next release | 03:44 |
| heinkel_111 | oh there is major trouble on the way? | 03:44 |
| Wasserstoff | no, don't go there to complain | 03:44 |
| Wasserstoff | then you are just being annoying | 03:45 |
| nosrednaekim | heinkel_111» yeah | 03:45 |
| remedialjoe | lol | 03:45 |
| Wasserstoff | one would assume that it's a bug that was not triggered on the testing system | 03:45 |
| nosrednaekim | well.. yeah.... | 03:45 |
| Wasserstoff | for whatever reason | 03:45 |
| remedialjoe | they only tested it once on 1 system? | 03:45 |
| remedialjoe | hahahahha | 03:45 |
| heinkel_111 | maybe it is a good idea not to restart the computer for a while then,,,i got the new packages 2 hrs ago :( | 03:45 |
| freyyr | FOSS. no budget, remember? | 03:45 |
| Wasserstoff | who knows | 03:45 |
| Wasserstoff | I sure don't | 03:45 |
| remedialjoe | heinkel_111 *nods you are too right | 03:45 |
| Wasserstoff | I didn't test it | 03:45 |
| * nosrednaekim retracts the statement to go to that other channel | 03:45 | |
| storbeck | Or just turn off auto-install updates. | 03:45 |
| remedialjoe | I've already initiated my complaint in here.. no worries .. ;] | 03:46 |
| remedialjoe | ... storbeck .. but i already installed.. there is no way to warn ppl | 03:46 |
| heinkel_111 | storbeck: it wasnt auto when i got it, it was idiot ;-) I manually upgraded the language packs | 03:46 |
| remedialjoe | people are probably without interfaces right now | 03:46 |
| remedialjoe | not everyone knows how to get into bitchx | 03:46 |
| Wasserstoff | I'm sure if you are patient and all that it will be fixed soon :) | 03:46 |
| freyyr | well, it'll be good for them. it'll be nice and retro. | 03:47 |
| remedialjoe | Wasserstoff Just like the initial upgrade glitch was fixed? | 03:47 |
| Wasserstoff | or | 03:47 |
| Wasserstoff | if you omgneed it now | 03:47 |
| Wasserstoff | Then you can uninstall the language packs | 03:47 |
| Wasserstoff | remedialjoe: well, maybe it won't be | 03:47 |
| remedialjoe | Wasserstoff Having to go into console to manually select YES or NO " | 03:47 |
| Wasserstoff | remedialjoe: then you can switch to gentoo | 03:47 |
| remedialjoe | lol | 03:47 |
| Wasserstoff | I heard they are much easier to use | 03:47 |
| Wasserstoff | and more reliable | 03:47 |
| remedialjoe | i've heard the opposite about being easier to use.. i'd be annoyed to have to learn another package manager after putting my faith into deb based so long | 03:48 |
| freyyr | this brings noglista. we should start a MUD since we're all conna be at the CLI soon anyway. | 03:48 |
| remedialjoe | but.. i have no heard any reliability issues so .. | 03:48 |
| remedialjoe | lol fre | 03:48 |
| heinkel_111 | MUD that sounds like old-skool text based multiplayer game? | 03:48 |
| remedialjoe | ... i downloaded gentoo and buntu for the re install.. used up my last blank :( .. i'm bust till tomorrow I think | 03:48 |
| remedialjoe | unless there is someway to revert back to the old language pack/ | 03:49 |
| Wasserstoff | just uninstall the language packs.. | 03:49 |
| freyyr | most likely. | 03:49 |
| freyyr | but I'm not a whiz with apt. so... | 03:49 |
| Wasserstoff | English is the standard language | 03:49 |
| remedialjoe | same.. that is what i am figuring out, after this smoke | 03:49 |
| freyyr | could try aptitude. | 03:49 |
| freyyr | I'll see with that. | 03:49 |
| Wasserstoff | I don't have the error myself, so I cannot tell you how to fix itr | 03:49 |
| freyyr | brb | 03:49 |
| remedialjoe | gl =] | 03:49 |
| remedialjoe | Wasserstoff you got the latest update and rebooted? | 03:50 |
| freyyr | actually, can I open a new TTY so I don't have to keep switching in and out of bitchx? | 03:50 |
| Wasserstoff | No. | 03:50 |

| stunatra | is it just me, or is devede really slow? | 03:55 |
| remedialjoe | i noticed that too.. are you using the older mplayer fix? | 03:55 |
| stunatra | not sure, whatever is in the repos is what I am using. (on Gutsy) | 03:56 |
| remedialjoe | stunatra check the devede website.. i think they have a fix | 03:56 |
| stunatra | 2 hours to convert to 1 DVD seems a little bit long to me lol | 03:56 |
| stunatra | thanks remedialjoe I will do that. | 03:57 |
| Arwen | hehe, encoding a DVD on a competent PC should take about 5 minutes :-P | 03:57 |
| remedialjoe | i could be mistaken.. but i remember having to revert back to the previous mplayer to use devede | 03:57 |
| stunatra | Note for Ubuntu Gutsy users: by default (as November 21, 2007) Gutsy comes with Mplayer/Mencoder buggy version 1.0RC1 (like Feisty); | 03:58 |

| mrunagi_ | im still ticked off | 04:04 |
| remedialjoe | whaat | 04:04 |
| remedialjoe | oh with dolphin | 04:04 |

| mrunagi_ | yes it is | 04:05 |
| mrunagi_ | i mean fine.........if something happens you cant complete the opperation..........put it BACK! | 04:05 |

| remedialjoe | could you run that | 04:05 |
| mrunagi_ | what progrem | 04:05 |
| mrunagi_ | is it too late? this happened 2 hours ago | 04:05 |
| remedialjoe | i will try to find it.. but i am using lynx.. so it might take me a while | 04:05 |
| remedialjoe | no i don't think so | 04:06 |
| remedialjoe | this program is for like fire/damaged drives | 04:06 |
| remedialjoe | also works on removable media.. memory cards etc for lost photos | 04:06 |
| remedialjoe | you can usually recover 3-4 formats worth of data, pretty impressive | 04:06 |

| freyyr | It worked! | 04:08 |
| mrunagi_ | ive just never heard of files disappearing | 04:08 |

| Wasserstoff | mrunagi_: but what though... | 04:11 |
| remedialjoe | freyyr i think its language-pack-kde-en or language-pack-en | 04:11 |
| remedialjoe | freyyr one of those two worked for me | 04:11 |
| remedialjoe | or both* | 04:11 |
| Wasserstoff | mrunagi_: what programs exist that need to be explicity translated into english.. | 04:11 |
| freyyr | i removed them all, and everything seems normal. | 04:11 |

| remedialjoe_ | i remember it being pretty powerful | 04:14 |

| ubuntu | yes | 04:58 |
| Hydrogen | People have had the problem in here | 04:59 |
| ubuntu | dont install them | 04:59 |
| Hydrogen | but havn't seen warnings about it yet | 04:59 |
| ubuntu | but then dont listen to me im trying to recover what data i can because kubuntu decided to dump my clipboard data | 04:59 |
| Hydrogen | I'm still very very very curious as to how language packs can break logging in | 04:59 |
| ubuntu | its a virus | 04:59 |
| ubuntu | lol | 04:59 |
| ubuntu | i work at my parents store while im in town and people are shocked when i tell them a. microsoft is single handedly responsible for viruses and b. i dont have to worry about them | 05:00 |
| remedialjoe_ | BluesKaj: Uninstalling the language-pack-en and/or language-pack-kde-en seems to fix it for now* | 05:00 |
| remedialjoe_ | ooh have to get rid of dolphin | 05:01 |
| remedialjoe_ | ubuntu did you do that yet? | 05:01 |
| ubuntu | no =( | 05:01 |
| ubuntu | i like dolphin | 05:01 |
| remedialjoe_ | i think the move problem is related to that | 05:01 |
| BluesKaj | Hydrogen, remedialjoe, too late for me , borked kde and the dcopserver, couldn't get past login ...had to do clean install | 05:01 |
| ubuntu | just kill me already | 05:01 |
| ubuntu | i have to use konq? | 05:01 |

| Hydrogen | doing a clean instasll was a bit exagerrating | 05:02 |
| remedialjoe_ | ubuntu well if you want to avoid the copy/move thing altogether | 05:02 |
| Hydrogen | however | 05:02 |
| Hydrogen | I don't understand the ability for it too happen | 05:02 |
| ubuntu | i wouldnt even know how to word that problem for google | 05:02 |
| BluesKaj | Hydrogen, there was no other way , I asked for help and waited for hours, but nobody kne waht the fix was. | 05:03 |
| BluesKaj | knew what | 05:03 |
| ubuntu | how many passes does it make? | 05:03 |
| remedialjoe_ | ubuntu not too sure | 05:04 |

| storbeck | ubuntu, You want to make your own live cd? | 05:18 |
| remedialjoe_ | there are a bunch of ways | 05:18 |
| remedialjoe_ | i think stor will know more then i tho | 05:18 |
| ubuntu | yea so like when i reinstall maya will be installed already | 05:18 |
| storbeck | lol, for all the questions you ask I think you have a long way to go before you can do that. | 05:18 |
| remedialjoe_ | reconstructor ? | 05:19 |
| ubuntu | like what questionds | 05:19 |
| ubuntu | .... | 05:20 |
| storbeck | <ubuntu> i cant remember how to mount ntfs on lviecd | 05:20 |
| remedialjoe_ | ubuntu take a look at http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/ ..t his may or may not be what you are looking for =] | 05:20 |
| storbeck | For example | 05:20 |
| ubuntu | um ok | 05:20 |
| ubuntu | its not exactly straight forward | 05:20 |
| ubuntu | but whatever, demean and patronize me | 05:21 |
| remedialjoe_ | ;] they will | 05:21 |
| ubuntu | belittle is probably a more appropriate word | 05:21 |
| remedialjoe_ | uhmm i think reconstructor is gnome based :/ | 05:21 |
| storbeck | I'm not patronizing you. I'm just saying you have some more to learn before you can tackle making your own livecd. | 05:22 |
| remedialjoe_ | ubuntu: http://www.atworkonline.it/~bibe/ubuntu/custom-livecd.htm | 05:22 |
| remedialjoe_ | thats the hard way | 05:22 |
| ubuntu | stumbling on something as backwards and sideways as mounting an ntfs volume on kubuntu livecd is not enough for someone to judge whether i can or cannot make my own livecd | 05:23 |

| SilentDis | question: my motherboard died. rather than just replace, i decided to upgrade. going from 32-bit environment to a single-core 64-bit chip (amd939 on an ASRock 939Dual board). I'll be dropping my 2 drives into this box... will i be having any prolems? | 05:33 |

| ubuntu | why do people want to go to 64bit so bad | 05:34 |
| SilentDis | remedialjoe_: cool. | 05:34 |
| remedialjoe_ | because time is running out till 2038 ;] | 05:34 |
| ubuntu | heh | 05:35 |
| SilentDis | ubuntu: i went because it's actually cheaper lol | 05:35 |
| remedialjoe_ | you know about y2038 ... | 05:35 |
| ubuntu | well getting a 64 chip and running 64 is 2 different things | 05:35 |
| SilentDis | omg y2038! *runs in circles* | 05:35 |
| ubuntu | you mean y2k38 | 05:35 |
| ubuntu | its funnier that way | 05:35 |

| storbeck | Heh... | 05:42 |
| storbeck | ubuntu: ls -al | 05:43 |
| SilentDis | ubuntu: ls -al will list everything for you... i vaguely remember a df command that makes it easy, but not off the top of my head | 05:43 |
| jhutchins_wk | -a should be unnecssary in most cases. | 05:43 |
| ubuntu | maybe i wasnt being clear | 05:43 |
| ubuntu | this folder has 100 subdirs with files in them | 05:43 |
| SilentDis | ubuntu: you're looking for the the df stuff... does a size check, etc... lets see if the bot has info | 05:44 |

| ubuntu | ? | 05:45 |
| ubuntu | im going to have to go through each folder one by one this is gonna be fun | 05:45 |
| SilentDis | df -h will get you for each partition... there was something you could pass to it to just get the current dir... but i can't for the life of me remember what it was | 05:46 |
| remedialjoe_ | -l | 05:46 |
| remedialjoe_ | hold on | 05:46 |
| SilentDis | ubuntu: you're running kde. use the graphical tools. kinfocenter does a great drill-down | 05:46 |

| ubuntu | if there was a way to do it | 05:49 |
| ubuntu | lemme clarify again | 05:49 |
| ubuntu | these files are in 100 folders | 05:49 |
| SilentDis | konq should do it in tree list view. then click on the size field, and it'll sort 'em | 05:49 |
| SilentDis | kinfocenter will as well, nice, easy-to-read list of everything, how much is in 'em, etc | 05:49 |

| mrunagi | do you have to safely remove ext3 drives too or is that an ntfs thing | 06:14 |
| cody | Has anyone had to deal with the canadian language pack lock up? im woried about updating my system | 06:14 |
| mrunagi | what is the deal with these language packs | 06:15 |
| mrunagi | where are these packs? | 06:15 |
| cody | they should be in the ubuntu repositories | 06:15 |
| mrunagi | do i need to be concerned? | 06:16 |
| cody | do you use english-CA? | 06:16 |
| mrunagi | why would anyone need to install language packs | 06:16 |
| cody | they come with the system updates | 06:16 |
| mrunagi | i havent seen them | 06:16 |
| mrunagi | wait a second........is the reason kubuntu asks for where you live is not only for time zone but repo locations too | 06:17 |
| mrunagi | ? | 06:17 |
| cody | it selects your language pack... | 06:17 |
| cody | the repos should be the same | 06:17 |
| mrunagi | oh | 06:17 |
| cody | you can change your language pack by right clicking the clock and selecting date and time format | 06:17 |
| mrunagi | oh i see | 06:18 |
| mrunagi | so if i havent seen these language packs i shouldnt worry? | 06:18 |
| cody | if you dont use english-CA then it doesnt affect you... | 06:18 |
| Daisuke_Ido | doesn't the english-CA pack just add "eh" to the end of sentences and change "ou" to "oo"? </joke> | 06:19 |
| mrunagi | lmao! | 06:19 |
| cody | :P | 06:19 |
| mrunagi | i thought the en language packs were doing damage | 06:19 |
| cody | en-CA | 06:20 |
| cody | thats the only one | 06:20 |

| mrunagi | god bles america! :D | 06:20 |
| cody | i just finished the install, ill reboot and see if i can log in | 06:20 |
| Daisuke_Ido | mrunagi: en-CA is the culprit. our neighbors to the north are borked for the moment | 06:20 |

| Reconizer | cody | 06:22 |
| cody | had to change to the en-US language pack to boot | 06:22 |
| Reconizer | i missed you | 06:22 |
| Reconizer | my pal | 06:22 |
| cody | good man you did :D | 06:22 |
| Reconizer | cody :0 | 06:22 |
| noodles12 | hi, i just installed kubuntu 7.10, but there seems to be nothing in my kmenu under kmenu>>system (i believe this is where things like synaptic and stuff are?) | 06:23 |
| Reconizer | kde on windows :O how does that make you feel cody? | 06:23 |
| cody | windows in kde, how does that jmake you feel reconizer | 06:24 |
| cody | right click your kmenu, and click menu editor. is it enabled? | 06:24 |
| noodles12 | i see more applications, terminal applications, in its submenu. but i don't see where to enable or disable it | 06:25 |
| remedialjoe_ | my multicolumn view isn't showing the full title name.. and there are no coloum lines to expand =[ | 06:26 |
| cody | if they are there when you expand system, it should appear in kmenu... maybe try refreshing your desktop? i dont know why it would not appear | 06:27 |
| noodles12 | cody: synaptic wasn't installed by default. Is this normal for kubuntu? or maybe nothing in my "system" is installed? | 06:27 |
| cody | its called adept installer in kde. open it by kmenu > add/remove programs | 06:28 |
| cody | there is also adept manager | 06:28 |
| cody | or use apt-get in terminal | 06:28 |
| noodles12 | cody: there is no add/remove programs in my kmenu. I am reusing my /home partition where i previously had pclos and opensuse installed. is it possible whatever prior kde configs i had left over in my /home screwed up my kubuntu install? | 06:29 |
| === krwk is now known as krawek | ||
| cody | thats a possibility | 06:30 |
| cody | try installing kde with apt-get? | 06:30 |
| cody | that could resolve the problem | 06:30 |
| noodles12 | so just apt-get install kde-base ? or would i need to uninstall it first? | 06:31 |
| SilentDis | noodles12: i'd suggest sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop | 06:31 |
| cody | i wouldnt recommend uninstalling it. if you need to remove kde, install gnome and then reinstall kde | 06:31 |
| Hydrogen | huhwut? | 06:32 |
| cody | ^^ that should work | 06:32 |
| Daisuke_Ido | what? | 06:32 |
| Hydrogen | If you need to remove kde... install gnome and then install kde? | 06:32 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that may be the worst advice ever... and i listen to my own! | 06:32 |
| SilentDis | i came into this discussion late... but i do recommend using the 'named' packages to grab stuff for ubuntu. kubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop, etc | 06:32 |
| Hydrogen | I think something got lost in translation. | 06:32 |
| remedialjoe_ | how come my multi column view in konq is only listing 16 characters now | 06:33 |
| cody | install kubuntu-desktop would be the best way, thank you silentdis | 06:33 |
| remedialjoe_ | before it listen almost the entire file name contents | 06:33 |
| remedialjoe_ | listed* | 06:33 |
| remedialjoe_ | what have i done here | 06:33 |
| noodles12 | ok thanks gusy. i'll try that... stupid opensuse! | 06:34 |
| SilentDis | cody: nt. seen a lot of problems with kde being 'dropped in' without the ubuntu-specific stuff. lotta settings have to be done by hand and such, real pain in the ass, and especially useless when it's already done for ya with the <n>ubuntu-desktop packages :) | 06:34 |
| remedialjoe_ | found it tools/configure konquerer, appearece .. width for icon text | 06:34 |
| noodles12 | it says kubuntu-desktop is already it's newest version... | 06:35 |
| noodles12 | should i remove it and then reinstall? | 06:35 |
| SilentDis | noodles12 if you do, make SURE you throw either gnome or xfce at it first | 06:35 |
| SilentDis | noodles12 something like 'aptitude install ubuntu-desktop' reboot, choose to use gnome. then a 'aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop' | 06:36 |
| noodles12 | SilentDis: if i just booted into recover mode. would i be able to aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop and then install kubuntu-desktop? | 06:36 |
| SilentDis | noodles12 what is the original problem? there's usually an easier solution is all :) | 06:37 |
| SilentDis | afk 1 moment, gotta release excess caffinated liquids :) | 06:37 |
| Dezine | I just install KDE 4 and for some reason there is no bottom bar? | 06:37 |
| noodles12 | SilentDis: i came i started with ubuntu, then pclos, then opensus... kept the same /home folder. I installed kubuntu and my kmenu>system is empty and there is no kmenu>add/remove programs so i feel like i'm missing things or teh remnants of messing w/ the kde setup from the other 2 distros are still in my /home folder and messing with my fresh kubuntu install | 06:38 |
| SilentDis | noodles12 ohhh... how about the real easy method then? :D | 06:39 |
| noodles12 | SilentDis: yea hook it up =) | 06:39 |
| SilentDis | noodles12 you are in safe mode now, right? | 06:39 |
| noodles12 | no. i'm in normal kubuntu | 06:39 |
| SilentDis | noodles12 er, recovery mode. whatever. stupid windowsisms are hard to brake lol | 06:39 |
| noodles12 | SilentDis: i can go into recovery mode in a bit, i'm in regular session right now | 06:41 |
| SilentDis | noodles12 ok. boot to either recovery or off your ubuntu cd. mount whatever drive /home is on, and rename your home folder. go from /home/noodles12 to /home/noodles12-old. reboot. login as normal. your home folder will be rebuilt from scratch for you, and you can just go in and port all your files over without worry | 06:41 |
| ajajaja | I prefer Windows over Kubuntu though ... | 06:41 |
| ajajaja | Too much clicking around on Kubuntu ... | 06:41 |
| remedialjoe_ | clicking around | 06:41 |
| remedialjoe_ | ajajaja | 06:41 |
| remedialjoe_ | are you not familiar with katapult | 06:41 |
| ajajaja | alt ----><--- ? | 06:42 |
| noodles12 | SilentDis: that command ( just ot make sure is ) "mv /home/noodles12 /home/noodles111 " right? | 06:42 |
| remedialjoe_ | so good | 06:42 |
| ajajaja | Plus I dont like the default Nautilus behavior on Kubuntu | 06:42 |
| SilentDis | noodles12 exactly :) | 06:42 |
| noodles12 | sweet... i'll be back! | 06:42 |
| ajajaja | Why is Kubuntu in spatial mode by default ? Can someone tell me ? | 06:43 |
| Liono | i need to setup a network with windows clients and kubuntu server. (authenticate windows clients from the server via LDAP i gues?) what do i need to do first. this is my first day of networking. did even pluged the wires ? | 06:43 |
| cody | thanks silentdis for that easier workaround | 06:43 |
| cody | looking at that makes mine look retarded : / | 06:43 |
| remedialjoe_ | ajajaja: can you tell me what spatial mode is | 06:44 |
| remedialjoe_ | i know it has something to do with konq (i think) | 06:44 |
| SilentDis | cody i dealt with the same thing going from 6.06 to 7.10. didn't bther to upgrade my box, just grabbed a package list, renamed my home, and did a fresh install. sooo nice having /home on a seperate partition :) | 06:44 |
| ajajaja | yes Its when you open a folder , then open another one and it opens another window which could stay at the same place | 06:44 |
| ajajaja | it is _very_ annoying ! | 06:45 |
| remedialjoe_ | oh | 06:45 |
| remedialjoe_ | i enjoy it | 06:45 |
| remedialjoe_ | ;] | 06:45 |
| remedialjoe_ | minimal | 06:45 |
| SilentDis | cody as for your method being retarded... it's not, would work just fine too, but there's nearly always an easier way. ;) | 06:45 |
| remedialjoe_ | i hear there was a big pepsi/coca cola over that one tho | 06:45 |
| ajajaja | So why the Hell is Kubuntu acting like taht ? | 06:45 |
| ajajaja | i prefer pepsi if you ask me .... | 06:45 |
| remedialjoe_ | no man only coke tastes good.. pepsi can't taste as good. | 06:46 |
| ajajaja | SO you use Konqueror in kinda spatial mode ? | 06:46 |
| remedialjoe_ | there's no way | 06:46 |
| ajajaja | omg ! thats not true ! | 06:46 |
| SilentDis | coke, out of the fountain only. this discussion is closed. | 06:46 |
| SilentDis | *snicker* | 06:46 |
| ajajaja | you are mean | 06:46 |
| === Liono is now known as Liono_ | ||
| remedialjoe_ | lol | 06:46 |
| ajajaja | pepsi MAXX | 06:46 |
| remedialjoe_ | truely i prefer pepsi when i am mixing drinks.. but coke if i am just enjoying a carbonated beverage | 06:47 |
| Liono_ | can any one see me? | 06:47 |
| remedialjoe_ | mind you i prefer jones cola cause of the evaporated cane sugar | 06:47 |
| remedialjoe_ | Liono_: yep | 06:47 |
| Liono_ | remedialjoe i need to setup a network with windows clients and kubuntu server. (authenticate windows clients from the server via LDAP i gues?) what do i need to do first. this is my first day of networking. did even pluged the wires ? | 06:47 |
| Daisuke_Ido | remedialjoe_: good luck. | 06:47 |
| remedialjoe_ | lol | 06:48 |
| ajajaja | i prefer JD and COke | 06:48 |
| SilentDis | remedialjoe_ well... yeah. jones sodas in general is not to be classed with such brutish beverages as produced by either pepsi or coke though. kinda like compairing a fliet mignon made at a 5-star new york restaurant to a burger from mcdonalds... | 06:48 |
| remedialjoe_ | Liono_: I said I could see you.. But I can't anser that for you =] | 06:48 |
| remedialjoe_ | SilentDis: this is very true | 06:48 |
| ajajaja | filet mignon | 06:49 |
| Liono_ | i need to setup a network with windows clients and kubuntu server. (authenticate windows clients from the server via LDAP i gues?) what do i need to do first. this is my first day of networking. ? | 06:49 |
| remedialjoe_ | Liono_: spend another 3 years reading how-to's ? | 06:49 |
| SilentDis | Liono_ why does it 'have' to be a kubuntu server? wouldn't ubuntu server be a better match for something like that? the packages for samba are already setup then. | 06:50 |
| remedialjoe_ | lol | 06:50 |
| Liono_ | SilentDis iam too used to kde. | 06:50 |
| surgy | !samba | Liono_ | 06:50 |
| ubotu | Liono_: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 06:50 |
| SilentDis | Liono_ try this then: aptitude install ubuntu-server (i believe that's the correct meta-package, someone will correct me if i'm wrong, i'm sure) :) | 06:51 |
| SilentDis | Liono_ that way you'll have both your kde gui and all the packages setup for a true server environment | 06:51 |
| Liono_ | surgy SilentDis so i need to install samba first and make a network, to use LDAP ? | 06:51 |
| surgy | Liono_: listen to SilentDis he prolly knows more about it | 06:52 |
| SilentDis | Liono_ I have not gone through the whole 'making windows like my linux boxes' fiasco... instead i just 'upgraded' my network to use all debian-based OSes... well, cept my tiny webserver, but that's just because i'm lazy and haven't poked my head into it's closet in months lol | 06:52 |
| remedialjoe_ | hahahaha | 06:53 |
| Liono_ | ic.. | 06:53 |
| Liono_ | so before installing ldap. i need to make a network by samba? right? | 06:53 |
| ajajaja | Do you really think kubuntu will get kde 4.0 in a short time, knowing how unstable it is ? | 06:53 |
| SilentDis | i think it's uptime is around 9 or 10 months now... i think that was the last power outage we had... | 06:54 |
| surgy | Liono_: for simple file sharing and printer sharing samba is awsome, and im certain it can do more, i just never needed more | 06:54 |
| noodles12 | SilentDis: hey it didn't work. I got a "unable to start ksysstartupconfig" or something like that... " check installatoin" | 06:54 |
| remedialjoe_ | i think you are running into the upgrade problem noodles12 | 06:54 |
| noodles12 | remedialjoe_: what upgrade problem? it was a clean install.. sortof.. | 06:55 |
| SilentDis | noodles12 ok, you ARE missing something in the install, or some package is marked funny it sounds like. what release of kubuntu are we talking here? | 06:55 |
| noodles12 | 7.10 | 06:55 |
| remedialjoe_ | noodles12: did you upgrade/update | 06:55 |
| Liono_ | surgy so before installing ldap. i need to make a network by samba? right? | 06:55 |
| === gota____ is now known as gota | ||
| surgy | Liono_: to be perfectly honest i dont even know what ldap is, so you shouldnt listen to me | 06:56 |
| remedialjoe_ | yah truely you should scrap all windows clients and go *nix completely.. it will save you loads of problems | 06:56 |
| SilentDis | Liono_ in all seriousness... we are probably not gonna be able to answer this right off for you. i would highly recommend doing a quick 'aptitude install ubuntu-server' and hopping over there, they'll be FAR more knowledgable about setting that kinda thing up. use, general desktop troubleshooting, BASIC networking, etc, that's our forte | 06:57 |
| SilentDis | !ubuntu-server | 06:57 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support | 06:57 |
| noodles12 | SilentDis: when i moved /home/noodles12 to /home/noodles12_backup i got that msg. i just renamed it back to /home/noodles12 to boot here to talk to u guys =). did i need to mkdir /home/noodles12 ? i was assuming kubuntu would just make a new directory | 06:57 |
| remedialjoe_ | yah.. once you've setup your server in ubuntu .. come back and we will show you how to throw KDE back on | 06:57 |
| Liono_ | SilentDis yes. but what to do next. | 06:58 |
| SilentDis | noodles12 it shoulda made it for you... i did just have an idea though... | 06:58 |
| SilentDis | Liono_ read that whole !info bit... there's a server-specific room which will have people who are FAR more inclined to have the info you need. #ubuntu-server | 06:58 |
| noodles12 | SilentDis: now Kmenu>settings disappeared | 06:59 |
| Liono_ | SilentDis k | 07:00 |
| SilentDis | noodles12 what about just renaming ~/.kde to ~/my-.kde-backup and restarting x (ctrl-alt-backspace)? | 07:00 |
| noodles12 | i'll try it | 07:00 |
| noodles12 | brb | 07:01 |
| ajajaja | Are there any kubuntu devs hanging aound here sometimes ? | 07:01 |
| remedialjoe_ | in addition to the language pack upgrade bit .. after removing the two packages, if you add another you won't get the "can't set locale" issues .. i used language-pack-ca-en and everything *seems smooth | 07:01 |
| SilentDis | ajajaja they lurk, and are known to pounce and boot windows fanbois. it is really entertaining to watch :D | 07:02 |
| ajajaja | But they must not be many of them here | 07:02 |
| ajajaja | Kubuntu is to l33t for them i suppose ... | 07:02 |
| SilentDis | ajajaja big brother is watching you. love big brother. fear big brother *giggle* | 07:02 |
| ajajaja | Click here ... Click over there | 07:02 |
| grul | what? how? kubuntu is too l33t for kubuntu devs? | 07:03 |
| ajajaja | for Windows fanbois | 07:03 |
| grul | i see | 07:03 |
| ajajaja | MS-Windows sry ... | 07:03 |
| grul | now it all made sense | 07:03 |
| * SilentDis gets ready for the Two Minute Hate | 07:03 | |
| remedialjoe_ | *grabs lighter | 07:03 |
| alucardromero | Is there a compiled list of supported printers on the interwebs? | 07:03 |
| ajajaja | So how can i get rid of Nautilus on my default Kubuntu ? | 07:03 |
| remedialjoe_ | what do you prefer to use over nautilus | 07:04 |
| grul | as far as i know kubuntu is as much click here, click there as windows, except there are options to click here and click there, which there aren't in windows | 07:04 |
| SilentDis | alucardromero probably over at the cups homepage... i can tell you from experience, virtually anything HP works. | 07:04 |
| ajajaja | i dont want nautilus i want konqueror | 07:04 |
| ajajaja | Plus i dont like that feet logo ... | 07:04 |
| alucardromero | Yeah, that's why I'm thinking about getting an HP printer. I have a Lexmark 4350. | 07:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | hp and brother both tend to be good | 07:04 |
| remedialjoe_ | i am using konqueror | 07:04 |
| remedialjoe_ | why aren't you | 07:05 |
| SilentDis | HP has much linux <3 :) | 07:05 |
| ajajaja | so why do I have Nautilus as file manager on my Kubuntu ? | 07:05 |
| remedialjoe_ | dolphin was installed by default .. i removed that and konqueror defaulted | 07:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ajajaja: if you're using kubuntu, konqueror is the default file manager. | 07:05 |
| remedialjoe_ | ajajaja: are you sure its not Dolphin | 07:05 |
| alucardromero | I've noticed... it's even compatible with the HP fax machine printers. | 07:05 |
| alucardromero | It's awesome. | 07:05 |
| ajajaja | no plus they tel me sometimes to use kate | 07:05 |
| SilentDis | ajajaja did you install ubuntu, then 'side-grade' to kubuntu? | 07:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | kate is a text editor | 07:05 |
| ajajaja | but i dont seem to find any kate program | 07:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you're comparing apples to toyotas | 07:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | um | 07:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | do you even HAVE kde? | 07:06 |
| alucardromero | He has LMNOP... :P | 07:06 |
| SilentDis | apples are tasty. toyotas are tasty with enough salt on them... | 07:06 |
| ajajaja | Yes I have KDE with the feet logo top left corner | 07:06 |
| SilentDis | sorry, i'll go sit in my corner. | 07:06 |
| remedialjoe_ | wow | 07:06 |
| Daisuke_Ido | uh | 07:06 |
| remedialjoe_ | ajajaja: | 07:06 |
| alucardromero | LoL... that's Gnome... isn't it? | 07:06 |
| SilentDis | ajajaja that's Gnome. | 07:06 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that's NOT kde | 07:06 |
| ajajaja | Its Kubuntu | 07:06 |
| Daisuke_Ido | no | 07:06 |
| Daisuke_Ido | no it isn't. | 07:06 |
| ajajaja | no its kubuntu i know what im saying ! | 07:06 |
| remedialjoe_ | this guy is shwacked | 07:07 |
| SilentDis | ajajaja kubuntu = Ubuntu with KDE. ubuntu = ubuntu with Gnome. | 07:07 |
| Daisuke_Ido | either you're really confused or you're trolling. | 07:07 |
| ajajaja | uh ??? | 07:07 |
| alucardromero | Yeah, this is giving me diarrhea. | 07:07 |
| remedialjoe_ | either he's trolling or he didn't install kde properly from a ubuntu install | 07:07 |
| ajajaja | My screenshots dont look the same as others ? Why ? | 07:07 |
| alucardromero | Is the background orange or blue? | 07:07 |
| Daisuke_Ido | troll. | 07:07 |
| ajajaja | Orange | 07:07 |
| SilentDis | ajaja, type the following at a prompt and tell me the package status: aptitude show kubuntu-desktop | 07:07 |

| Myrth[home] | hi, is it possible to choose which applications will start next time with kde desktop? | 07:10 |
| Myrth[home] | it's really annoying to close everytime all the applications i don't want but they popup again everytime | 07:11 |
| alucardromero | Whoa... *!*@nor75-15-82-67-191-232.fbx.proxad.net just got... PWNED! :P | 07:11 |
| SilentDis | Myrth[home] sounds like you have them in a saved session | 07:11 |
| SilentDis | Myrth[home] no biggie. kubuntu 7.10? | 07:11 |
| Myrth[home] | doesn't session gets resaved on close? | 07:11 |
| Myrth[home] | right now 8.04 =] , but happened always | 07:12 |
| alucardromero | It has to... anything you have open comes back when you boot back up. | 07:12 |
| SilentDis | Myrth[home] it's an option, just like everything else in KDE ;) | 07:12 |
| Myrth[home] | alucardromero: i close everything, log out, then it reopens again | 07:12 |
| remedialjoe_ | i've had that happen | 07:12 |
| alucardromero | Whoa... phantom apps? | 07:12 |
| Dezine | I'm having some issues with KDE4.. There's no bottom bar and my desktop resets everytime I log out (icon placement and widgets). | 07:12 |
| remedialjoe_ | i think it was kopete | 07:12 |
| remedialjoe_ | and konqueror file browsing | 07:12 |
| Myrth[home] | for example epiphany - i logged into gnome one time. since then it opens always | 07:13 |
| SilentDis | Myrth[home] there SHOULD be an option somewhere right off the menu for 'save session'. otherwise, when you hit the logoff button, it should have a checkbox you can drop a tick into | 07:13 |
| alucardromero | KDE4... icky. Got rid of that right away. | 07:13 |
| Myrth[home] | no, no kde4 for me :P | 07:13 |
| alucardromero | I couldn't find any network manager or network tools. | 07:13 |
| Dezine | anybody? | 07:13 |
| Myrth[home] | kde3 is perfect for me | 07:14 |
| SilentDis | Dezine kde4 is still very wonky beta. is there a specific room anywhere that might have more info? *pokes the bot* | 07:14 |
| SilentDis | !kde4 | 07:14 |
| ubotu | KDE 4.0.1 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0.1 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.1.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-4.0.1.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 | 07:14 |
| SilentDis | there we go :) | 07:14 |
| Dezine | thanks | 07:14 |
| alucardromero | Dezine: I would switch back to KDE3 a.s.a.p. | 07:14 |
| SilentDis | wow, it is released. shows how up on things i am lol | 07:14 |
| Dezine | Eh, I don't use KDE3 | 07:15 |
| alucardromero | For me, lots of typical use items were missing from KDE4. | 07:15 |
| Dezine | I typically use gnome but want to check out kde4 for a bit, kde3 isn't my thing | 07:15 |
| alucardromero | Ah, okay. | 07:15 |
| remedialjoe_ | where is the "sessions" manager thing | 07:15 |
| Dezine | I think it has great potential and I don't want to miss out :) | 07:16 |
| SilentDis | i went from gnome when i first switched to linux, then to kde later. | 07:16 |
| alucardromero | It does... the widget system is awesome, but it gets confusing. | 07:16 |
| alucardromero | KDE3 is to KD3 as WindowsXP is to WindowsVista... for me anyways. | 07:17 |
| SilentDis | oy working at a gas station part time is REALLY not a good idea for me lol | 07:17 |
| Dezine | Yeah, I'd like to get it working, I think I can get used to it. | 07:17 |
| alucardromero | Wait... I did that wrong... | 07:17 |
| alucardromero | KDE3 is to KD4 as WindowsXP is to WindowsVista... for me anyways. | 07:17 |
| alucardromero | It's just better to stick with the older ones. | 07:18 |
| SilentDis | as if i don't smoke enough already, now there's all sorts of interesting 2-for-1 deals staring me in the face during my shift lmao | 07:18 |
| remedialjoe_ | my User Management module could not be loaded.. hrmm | 07:18 |
| Dezine | I like new stuff, I like betas and sometimes alphas if I feel risky. | 07:19 |
| azzco | alucardromero: kde 3 is at 3.5.9 kde4 is it 4.0.1! Right now you can't really compare the two | 07:19 |
| alucardromero | Heh, true. | 07:19 |
| alucardromero | !kde4 | 07:19 |

| SilentDis | is the plan for 8.04 or 8.06 anyway? | 07:20 |
| alucardromero | From the screenshots I've seen, they're using KDE3. | 07:20 |
| alucardromero | 3.5.9 to exact. | 07:20 |
| remedialjoe_ | where do i find the option for save session on exit? | 07:20 |
| alucardromero | Gnome or KDE? | 07:20 |
| remedialjoe_ | kde | 07:20 |
| SilentDis | was gonna say, if it's 8.04, they might go kde4. if it's 8.06lts, they'll be sticking with kde3 | 07:20 |
| SilentDis | i can almost guarntee 8.10 with kde4 though. just how things move | 07:21 |
| azzco | SilentDis: then we'll have KDE4.1 so most likely it'll be a bit more stable :) | 07:22 |
| alucardromero | dcop ksmserver default saveCurrentSession | 07:22 |
| SilentDis | azzco exactly | 07:22 |
| SilentDis | standard ubuntu mantra there. available via extra repos, matures over time, include for general consumption. serves the community really well imo :) | 07:23 |
| remedialjoe_ | alucardromero: ha, thankyou | 07:24 |
| alucardromero | ;) | 07:24 |
| remedialjoe_ | lol | 07:24 |
| SilentDis | *scribbles that little line down furiously on scraps of paper* | 07:25 |
| remedialjoe_ | *copies/pastes into tips/tricks.txt | 07:25 |

| remedialjoe_ | nexuiz is callin | 07:25 |
| SilentDis | remedialjoe_ darn you and your working computer. this laptop sucks lol | 07:25 |
| alucardromero | *brews cup of coffee* | 07:26 |
| remedialjoe_ | speaking of laptops sucking .. hahaha | 07:26 |
| SilentDis | it serves me well as a chatbox for when i'm playing wow or doing work on my main box. outside that... it's a paperweight lol | 07:26 |
| alucardromero | Mine rocks, and it was only 375.00 | 07:26 |
| alucardromero | As long as it runs Half Life 2 Deathmatch, I'm okay. | 07:27 |
| SilentDis | i hate you, and hope you perish horribly in a fire. :P | 07:27 |
| remedialjoe_ | half life 2 deathmatch on a laptop for 375 thats a score.. it will run nex then, no? | 07:27 |
| alucardromero | Oh, and did I mention, I can play HL2DM on high settings. | 07:27 |
| SilentDis | hmm... i shouldn't say that... aluardromero, what machine, and where did you get it? | 07:28 |
| alucardromero | Yes, indeed... runs Nex nice. | 07:28 |
| remedialjoe_ | what kind of videocard is in that puppy | 07:28 |
| alucardromero | It's a Acer Aspire 5315 | 07:28 |
| Myrth[home] | mmm.. i know it's java and ubuntu+1.. but maybe someone knows?.. all my java apps after upgrade to 8.04 started giving this error: http://paste2.org/p/14365 | 07:28 |
| SilentDis | is that the little thing they have over at wal-mart? | 07:28 |
| alucardromero | Intel 965 integrated | 07:28 |
| remedialjoe_ | i've never played with intel video chipsets before | 07:29 |
| alucardromero | 1GB Ram, 80GB HDD, 1.73GHz Celeron... all Intel chipset. | 07:29 |
| remedialjoe_ | i mean more then the older ones.. nothing with great 3d | 07:29 |
| SilentDis | alucardromero it is! did you order that from their website or just pop into the evil empire and buy it? | 07:29 |
| alucardromero | Well, if you keep WinVista on there, hardly anything will run. | 07:29 |
| alucardromero | The evil empire. | 07:30 |
| SilentDis | kicks ass with kubuntu though? i was looking at the specs going "hey, not bad, would run linux nice..." myself when i saw it. | 07:30 |
| remedialjoe_ | which drivers does *nix use for intel vid? | 07:30 |
| alucardromero | Yeah, OpenGL drivers work great too. | 07:30 |
| SilentDis | alucardromero sweet! how's it do with stuff like compiz / World of Warcraft? | 07:31 |
| alucardromero | Umm... xserver-xorg-video-intel | 07:31 |
| remedialjoe_ | hm | 07:31 |
| alucardromero | I haven't tested Compiz yet and I don't play World of Warcraft. | 07:31 |
| remedialjoe_ | nex and tron are about all I play | 07:31 |
| Myrth[home] | are there plans for xorg to have multi-head without reboot?... | 07:31 |
| remedialjoe_ | armagetron .. | 07:31 |
| remedialjoe_ | lol | 07:32 |
| alucardromero | Heh. | 07:32 |

| SilentDis | darn. compiz is fun... and i suffer from complete WoW addiction lmao | 07:32 |
| alucardromero | I play Nex rarely because of HL2DM. | 07:32 |
| SilentDis | wait, it plays HL2? | 07:32 |
| remedialjoe_ | this is even after nex 2,3 | 07:32 |
| alucardromero | I had a dedicated server running Nex, but... for some damn reason they have a background process killer. | 07:32 |
| remedialjoe_ | weird | 07:33 |
| SilentDis | if it does ok in HL2, then it'll scream with WoW. guess i know where my government rebate check is going! | 07:33 |
| alucardromero | I would log in through shell and see about a dozen screens with "(Dead ??)" | 07:33 |
| alucardromero | Totally. | 07:33 |
| remedialjoe_ | Oh | 07:33 |
| alucardromero | My rebate check is going to an Eight Virtues PC. | 07:33 |
| remedialjoe_ | that probablye xplains why some servers like galt quit unexpectedly | 07:33 |
| remedialjoe_ | maybe its a script that runs again after it dies? | 07:34 |
| alucardromero | Yeah, that's what I'm guessing. | 07:34 |
| remedialjoe_ | lol | 07:34 |
| SilentDis | finally be able to ditch this POS as well. woot! | 07:34 |
| remedialjoe_ | man keep it | 07:34 |
| alucardromero | Yeah, use it as a server. | 07:34 |
| alucardromero | :P | 07:34 |
| remedialjoe_ | for when ppl come by and need to use the interwebs | 07:34 |
| remedialjoe_ | or that | 07:34 |
| SilentDis | roflmao | 07:34 |
| SilentDis | oh, it'll sit in the basement and gather dust. don't worry about that :) | 07:35 |
| remedialjoe_ | bathroom interwebbin | 07:35 |
| SilentDis | lmao | 07:35 |
| alucardromero | Have you seen the Eight Virtues PCs? | 07:35 |
| alucardromero | The come shipped with Ubuntu. | 07:35 |
| alucardromero | :P | 07:35 |
| SilentDis | actually... i do have a bit of an oddball here for ya... | 07:35 |
| SilentDis | i have 3 Point-of-sale touch screen computers sitting here... was thinking of turning them into linux boxen | 07:36 |
| alucardromero | Ooooh... not a bad idea. | 07:36 |
| SilentDis | they currently run Win98, touchscreen is driven like a mouse pointer | 07:36 |
| remedialjoe_ | mythboxes! | 07:36 |
| remedialjoe_ | man | 07:36 |
| SilentDis | they are rather low powered. P2 233s with 64mb ram | 07:36 |
| SilentDis | 20gb drives | 07:36 |
| alucardromero | Servers...OMGWTFAZNBBQROTFLMAOKTHXBAI!!! | 07:37 |
| SilentDis | anyone played with anything like this? how's linux support of 'weird' pointer interfaces like that? | 07:37 |
| alucardromero | It would probably be treated as a moust pointer as well. | 07:38 |
| SilentDis | i know the lotto terminal at work runs MontaVista linux (seen it boot up a couple times) | 07:38 |
| remedialjoe_ | isn't that the generic wacom tablet driver | 07:38 |
| alucardromero | I was thinking that too, but he said in Win98 it's driven like a mouse pointer. | 07:38 |
| SilentDis | i have no idea how i'm gonna get them to start from a CD though. the PSU inside is dinky, just enough to run the board and 1 drive. | 07:38 |
| SilentDis | i *think* i saw a 'boot from usb' option though... was gonna try throwing a CD drive into an external HD enclosure and give it a go. | 07:39 |

| vanchuck | KDE is crashing at graphical login... right at "Initilising System Services" | 08:15 |
| vanchuck | /var/log/kdm.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log contain no errors | 08:15 |
| vanchuck | tried reinstalling nvidia drivers, using nv and vesa instead, still same problem | 08:16 |
| vanchuck | ~/.xsession-errors contains some errors though, first one is "startkde: kpersonalizer not found! please install to properly configure your user" | 08:16 |
| vanchuck | later on it says 'kdeint: Communication error with launcher. Exiting!' | 08:17 |
| vanchuck | if I type in startkde on command line it comes up with different errors... | 08:17 |
| vanchuck | any clues? :-( | 08:17 |

| Oscar_Acosta_ | hello | 08:22 |
| Oscar_Acosta_ | how do I disable this icon zooming effect when launching a certain application shortcut from the panel? | 08:23 |
| vanchuck | if anyone cares, it seems my problem is related to the language pack update that went out a few days back | 08:24 |
| storbeck | Heh, yeah | 08:25 |
| vanchuck | hah, and it's only Canadian English that causes the problem | 08:25 |
| vanchuck | us poor Canadians | 08:25 |
| storbeck | People were in here earlier complaining about it. | 08:25 |
| vanchuck | always being made fun of | 08:25 |
| storbeck | It's a bug. | 08:25 |
| sgrover | vanchuck - I ran into that one today (I'm in Calgary) | 08:27 |
| sgrover | Did you sort it out? | 08:27 |
| vanchuck | just trying the qt-language-select thing now | 08:28 |
| sgrover | I recovered from it, so can give you some tips... | 08:28 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | hello. I would like to know what packages I have installed on the system so I can rebuild it. | 08:28 |
| sgrover | hehe.. that failed for me. I was able to get into the kcontrol and set the language there. I had "default" selected, so set it to us english. | 08:28 |
| storbeck | gundam_rx78nt1: Good luck with that. XD | 08:28 |
| sgrover | but, I "fixed" it with the rollback option earlier... | 08:28 |
| === naboo is now known as NaBoO | ||
| Oscar_Acosta_ | gundam_rx78nt1: dpkg -l | 08:29 |
| NaBoO | hello! | 08:29 |
| storbeck | You may want to do, dpkg -l > output | 08:30 |
| storbeck | Considering it will be a rather large list | 08:30 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | ok. see the problem is since the last update, I lost my audio and wireless. I recovered wireless by removing and re-installing the linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic package but I can't recover audio. | 08:31 |
| vanchuck | sgrover: yeah, I'm gonna try to rollback now, the language-selector trick didn't work for me | 08:31 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I followed the audio troubleshooting guide in the ubuntu forum and still can't get the drivers to load. | 08:32 |
| storbeck | What's wrong with the audio? | 08:32 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | Heck, I can't find any audio drivers. | 08:32 |
| sgrover | vanchuck: On the rollback, the first package didn't seem to have the version number. I just stripped of the = part | 08:32 |
| storbeck | Are you sure it's not just on mute? | 08:32 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | yes, because aplay -l returns no audio card found. | 08:32 |

| tuxwulf | Anyone here understand syslog.conf ...? | 08:37 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | storbeck: any idea how to get it fixed w/o having to do the ms-windoze method (re-install). | 08:38 |
| piqoni | Does Your ubuntu/kubuntu stuck when using GOogle Earth? | 08:38 |
| sgrover | gundam_rx78nt1: try "lspci". Your audio card *should* be listed. | 08:38 |
| sgrover | if it is, then it's probably a case of the right modules not being loaded. | 08:39 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | yes, it is listed. | 08:39 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I can't find any modules. | 08:39 |
| sgrover | try "lsmod | grep snd" | 08:39 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | there are no snd_ or snd- modules | 08:39 |
| piqoni | Does Your ubuntu/kubuntu stuck when using GOogle Earth? | 08:39 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | none are loaded. | 08:39 |
| sgrover | did you by chance install the Server version of buntu? | 08:39 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | no, I didn't, what happened was that I did the update from 2 weeks ago. | 08:40 |
| sgrover | it doesn't enable the audio devices in the kernel | 08:40 |
| piqoni | Does Your ubuntu/kubuntu stuck when using GOogle Earth? | 08:40 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | it had problems creating the initrd image, | 08:40 |
| sgrover | ahhh... | 08:40 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | and in the forum I was instructed to remove the linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic package. | 08:41 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | since then, I haven't had audio or wireless working | 08:41 |
| sgrover | the linux-headers package *should* match what you have installed. | 08:41 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I got wireless corrected. | 08:41 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | by re-installing the linux-headers package, but audio still fails. | 08:41 |
| sgrover | what kind of sound card? | 08:41 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | it's an Intel 8280, uses the snd_hda_intel drivers | 08:42 |
| sgrover | it's a module problem. If we're lucky, you have the same card I do.. :) | 08:42 |
| sgrover | one sec... | 08:42 |
| sgrover | nope, not so lucky - I have an nvidia chipset. | 08:43 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | sorry, 82801g | 08:43 |
| sgrover | hmm.. I have the snd_hda_intel modual loaded... | 08:43 |
| sgrover | Did you try to remove the module then re-add it? | 08:44 |
| sgrover | rmmod snd_hda_intel | 08:44 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | sgrover: I don't have the driver/module for any card on the system. | 08:45 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I try to do a modprobe snd_hda_intel and get the following error: | 08:45 |
| sgrover | I bet you do, but burried under a different name... :) | 08:45 |
| sgrover | One sec, I'm trying to track mine down. | 08:45 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel not found. | 08:45 |
| storbeck | gundam_rx78nt1: Reinstall the kernel | 08:47 |

| Stecchino | just can not get the layout correct | 08:49 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | storbeck, I have ran module-assistant after re-installing the alsa source. | 08:49 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | It fails during the compilation. | 08:50 |
| storbeck | Hrm | 08:50 |
| storbeck | O_o | 08:50 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | how do I re-install the kernel? | 08:50 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | !kernel | 08:51 |
| ubotu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages | 08:51 |
| sgrover | hmm... I don't see a "kernel" package for this sort of thing... just the headers, and the vmware/nvidia modules... | 08:51 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | hence forth I ask, how? | 08:52 |
| sgrover | agreed... but... | 08:52 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | with any other distro, that would be re-compiling it. | 08:52 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | which is what I am used to. Not with ubuntu/kubuntu. | 08:52 |
| sgrover | if you have the build-esential pacakge, you could too.. :) | 08:52 |
| === schumacher is now known as tehrafff | ||
| sgrover | But I refuse to compile a kernel for buntu - it's supposed to be low maintenance.... | 08:53 |
| sgrover | and unless you have a special need, the stock kernel should be fine. | 08:53 |
| storbeck | What error is it giving you when building alsa-sources | 08:53 |
| bask | hi there. could anyone tell me how to start a program through ssh on my home computer without stopping when i logout? | 08:53 |
| storbeck | source* | 08:53 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | storbeck, give me a moment | 08:54 |
| sgrover | bask command & | 08:55 |
| sgrover | or use screen | 08:55 |
| sgrover | bask: command & | 08:55 |
| sgrover | gundam_rx78nt1: can you run Adept? | 08:55 |
| Stecchino | Can nobody help me with azerty keyboard on a macbook? | 08:56 |
| sgrover | I did a search on Kernel there. (got a crap load more listed than aptitude search did...) You'll see which kernel you have installed - linux-generic, linux-image-xxxxx, etc.... You *could* try to remove that package, then reinstall it.... | 08:56 |
| sgrover | I wouldn't recommend a reboot before the reinstall though... :) | 08:57 |
| storbeck | You want the linux-generic. That holds the audio configs | 08:57 |
| sgrover | storbeck: don't think that's quite right. | 08:57 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | storbeck: you were saying steps with module-assitant. | 08:57 |
| storbeck | Oh? | 08:57 |
| sgrover | I don't have linux-generic installed, and I'm listening to the music right now. | 08:57 |
| storbeck | You don't have /usr/src/linux-headers-****-generic/ ? | 08:58 |
| sgrover | oops, my mistake.. mis-followed the line... yes, I do have linux-generic installed. | 08:58 |
| sgrover | (it IS 2:00am here.. LOL) | 08:58 |
| storbeck | /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic/sound/ :) | 08:58 |
| storbeck | It's 4:00 AM here =D | 08:59 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | failed during the pci_save_state. Exited with an error 2. | 08:59 |
| sgrover | so between the two of us we should be able to get a reasonably straight line.. :) | 08:59 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | storbeck: east coast? | 09:00 |
| sgrover | gundam_rx78nt1: did you see my note about adept? That's an option... | 09:00 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I don't have adept. | 09:00 |
| storbeck | Yes | 09:00 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | not boston right? | 09:01 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | LOL | 09:01 |
| bask | sgrover i tried but it doesn't work | 09:01 |
| sgrover | ok, then you can do it from the command line... the packages you want to remove/reinstall (WITHOUT A REBOOT IN BETWEEN): linux-generic and linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic | 09:02 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | ok, here goes nothing... If I don't return, it failed and I will be crying while re-installing. | 09:02 |
| sgrover | gundam_rx78nt1: see you in about an hour then?? :) | 09:03 |
| sgrover | at worst... | 09:03 |
| sgrover | g'luck | 09:03 |
| sgrover | bask: if you use the & character after the command it returns control immediately to the command line (backgrounds the command). But I think that will terminate when your connection terminates. | 09:03 |
| sgrover | I use screen for this type of thing. | 09:03 |
| bask | it doesn't even start. it gives x error | 09:04 |
| bask | i did it wothout X | 09:04 |
| sgrover | apt-get install screen, then just run "screen", enter your command, then ctrl-a d, and log out... | 09:04 |
| sgrover | bask: what command you trying to run? | 09:04 |
| storbeck | Have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-source | 09:04 |
| bask | ktorrent | 09:04 |
| storbeck | Bah, already left. | 09:04 |
| bask | i logged through ssh. i started ktorrent. but when i log out and then log in again ktorrent isn't running | 09:05 |
| sgrover | bask: no, it wouldn't be. | 09:05 |
| sgrover | logging out ends the user initiated processes. | 09:05 |
| sgrover | use screen | 09:06 |
| bask | yes but at home i'm logged. i hoped there would be a way to keep the process runing at home through the session started there | 09:06 |
| * Signil is away: away | 09:06 | |
| sgrover | ssh in. install and run screen. Enter your command. do the "ctrl-a d" to disconnect the current screen session, then logout. | 09:07 |
| storbeck | Use screen at home, then login to the existing session when you're no there. | 09:07 |
| sgrover | when you log back in do "screen -r" to reconnect to your screen session. | 09:07 |
| bask | and how do i log to the existing session? :D | 09:07 |
| phimic | hello all | 09:07 |
| phimic | i got a problem with my /var partition | 09:07 |
| sgrover | You can even have multiple screen sessions.. | 09:07 |
| sgrover | But that's a little more advanced, and will need some reading.. :) | 09:07 |
| === schumacher is now known as tehrafff | ||
| phimic | i choose the size to small, it is a LVM partition and i would like resize it but i cannot umount it | 09:07 |
| storbeck | !screen | 09:08 |
| ubotu | screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen | 09:08 |

| student | how do i get the address bar | 09:11 |
| student | i cant see it on the toolbars | 09:11 |
| storbeck | student: Just do this in bash | 09:12 |
| storbeck | rm -rf ~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc | 09:12 |
| student | its giving me permission denied | 09:14 |
| student | is there no way od doing it using the gui | 09:14 |
| storbeck | sudo it | 09:14 |
| storbeck | Note: That resets your konqueror settings back to default | 09:14 |
| storbeck | Did it work? | 09:17 |
| student | i am having problesm with sudo | 09:17 |
| storbeck | How? | 09:17 |
| student | rm -rf | 09:18 |
| storbeck | sudo rm -rf ~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc | 09:18 |
| storbeck | Type in your password when it asks, then you're done | 09:18 |
| student | is there a way to do it with gui | 09:18 |
| storbeck | lol, are you serious? | 09:19 |
| student | nothing seems to work | 09:19 |
| storbeck | What error is it giving you? | 09:19 |
| student | command not found | 09:19 |
| student | lets start | 09:19 |
| storbeck | What command are you giving? | 09:19 |
| storbeck | Just copy and paste this: | 09:20 |
| student | just a minute | 09:20 |
| storbeck | sudo rm -rf ~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc | 09:20 |
| student | permiison denied | 09:21 |
| storbeck | Did you type in your password? | 09:21 |
| student | student@student-desktop:~$ | 09:21 |
| student | it did not ask me for the password | 09:21 |
| storbeck | lol... | 09:22 |
| student | help on this pliz | 09:23 |
| storbeck | I find it hard to believe you're getting permission denied if you're using sudo | 09:24 |
| student | truly | 09:24 |
| storbeck | Close the terminal and start over | 09:24 |
| intelikey | where ? | 09:24 |
| storbeck | When you type sudo it should ask you for your password | 09:24 |
| intelikey | there are some things that root has noting over nobody | 09:25 |
| intelikey | so again where ? | 09:25 |
| student | it only gives me the options for comamnd | 09:25 |
| jussi01 | student: are yopu on a school pc or soemthing? | 09:25 |
| storbeck | intelikey: He's trying to do sudo rm -rf | 09:25 |
| student | my personal computer | 09:25 |
| student | here is my problem: | 09:25 |
| intelikey | storbeck simple cause fs mounted ro | 09:25 |
| storbeck | student, copy/paste what you typed | 09:25 |
| student | I have lost the address bar on konquerer | 09:26 |
| student | student@student-desktop:~$ | 09:26 |
| storbeck | So you typed nothing, great | 09:26 |
| student | student@student-desktop:~$ sudo | 09:26 |
| storbeck | That's not what I told you to type. | 09:26 |
| student | lol | 09:26 |
| storbeck | sudo rm -rf ~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc | 09:26 |
| student | then what | 09:26 |
| storbeck | For the 3rd time, copy/paste that | 09:26 |
| student | the sam thing again | 09:27 |
| storbeck | Again? You never did it in the first place | 09:27 |
| intelikey | but in #kubuntu the most common cause is pebcak | 09:27 |
| student | i typed sudo rm -rf then pressed return | 09:27 |
| storbeck | student, I'm done helping you | 09:28 |
| storbeck | If you don't know how to copy/paste you should be using Windows. | 09:28 |
| student | then after that the secon command ie ~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc | 09:28 |
| storbeck | It's all one command. Hence me saying COPY/PASTE what I typed. | 09:28 |
| storbeck | I didn't say break it apart onto more than one line. | 09:28 |

| intelikey | kubuntu-desktop cause konq will take some things with it | 09:31 |
| jussi01 | storbeck: you would need to purge... ;) | 09:31 |
| intelikey | jussi01 that too | 09:31 |
| storbeck | jussi01: I don't expect him to even copy/paste what I said before. | 09:31 |
| student | lol | 09:31 |
| storbeck | So I'm not even worried about it. | 09:31 |
| student | u want me to reinstall | 09:32 |
| student | lol | 09:32 |
| student | i thot there was a better way | 09:32 |
| student | assume somebody is not on the internet | 09:32 |
| jussi01 | student: whats the actual issue, I missed it? | 09:32 |
| student | the command you gave me would install the browser | 09:33 |
| storbeck | jussi01: He hid his address bar and can't find the option to view it. And he fails to delete the config file which would set it back to defaults. | 09:33 |
| storbeck | So my best advice would be to uninstall linux and install windows. | 09:33 |
| student | i am ruunig both mind u | 09:34 |
| jussi01 | storbeck: please be constructive, even if things are not going right :) | 09:34 |
| intelikey | storbeck better advice might be 12lb sledge adjustment to the computer... | 09:34 |
| jussi01 | student: its very easy to renable the address bar in konq | 09:34 |
| student | jussi01:thats right | 09:34 |
| student | how | 09:35 |
| storbeck | jussi01: I'm being constructive. | 09:35 |
| student | jussi01:how | 09:35 |
| storbeck | If people can't understand how to use linux, they shouldn't be using it. The whole point of an OS is to use it. | 09:35 |
| jussi01 | grr, Im on gnome at school, its just a right click add toolbar right? | 09:35 |
| jussi01 | storbeck: people need to learn somewhere. | 09:35 |
| student | i am on kde | 09:35 |
| student | i am better than u think | 09:36 |
| intelikey | jussi01 or konq menu view > main toolbar | 09:36 |
| student | if u are gud in one part u are not gud in all | 09:36 |

| ali3n51 | what is the similiarity of kde 3 and kde 4 | 10:38 |
| ali3n51 | i can login in diffirent betwen kde3 and kde 4 | 10:40 |
| ali3n51 | there is something new about kde 4 | 10:40 |
| el-gokulo | both uses qt as library? :P | 10:40 |
| el-gokulo | kde 4 uses the newer qt library | 10:40 |
| ali3n51 | oh really | 10:40 |
| ali3n51 | why there 2 login | 10:40 |
| ali3n51 | the kde 3 and kde 4 | 10:41 |
| storbeck | Because you didn't uninstall kde3 | 10:41 |
| ali3n51 | how to uninstall kde 3 | 10:41 |
| el-gokulo | i wouldnt recommend it | 10:41 |
| ali3n51 | why | 10:41 |
| storbeck | sudo apt-get remove kde | 10:42 |
| ali3n51 | there something happen if i uninstall kde 3 | 10:42 |
| storbeck | sudo apt-get autoremove | 10:42 |
| storbeck | sudo apt-get update | 10:42 |
| el-gokulo | kde 4 is far from being ready for use. in my opinion | 10:42 |
| ali3n51 | what i supposed to used | 10:42 |
| Lynoure | ali3n51: no support from this channel anymore, for example. and I bet upgrade is not officially supported from kde4-only gutsy | 10:42 |
| ali3n51 | for now i am using kde | 10:42 |
| ali3n51 | kde3 | 10:42 |
| el-gokulo | many features from kde 3.5.x are not already working in kde 4 | 10:43 |
| ali3n51 | oh really | 10:43 |
| storbeck | 4 is still in baby stages. | 10:43 |
| ali3n51 | so what the best to used kde 3 or kde 4 | 10:43 |
| el-gokulo | its just the first step to a new kde experience | 10:43 |
| el-gokulo | right now its better to stay with kde 3 | 10:43 |
| storbeck | kde4 reminds me too much of vista. | 10:43 |
| el-gokulo | wait for kde 4.1 to try it out again. but its unknown when it will be released | 10:44 |
| ali3n51 | what i'm going to do | 10:44 |
| Lynoure | storbeck: the looks are greatly changable. :) and what's under the hood is nothing like Vista | 10:45 |
| storbeck | I know. | 10:45 |
| storbeck | But the default look does. | 10:45 |
| ali3n51 | u mean kde 4.0 is release accidentally like vista | 10:45 |
| el-gokulo | you can keep both versions installed it wont hurt you | 10:45 |
| storbeck | Lynoure: In perspective though, I think KDE and Gnome are both too much like Windows. :P | 10:46 |
| ali3n51 | if u can't choice where to login you can't open the kde | 10:46 |
| AlferedHichcok | i cant understand. where to put BASE dc=example,dc=com and what does the comands in 'Populating The LDAP Tree' heading in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer means........ can any one help? | 10:47 |
| ali3n51 | wait i change it to kde 4 to discover something | 10:47 |
| Lynoure | storbeck: that just baffles me :) | 10:47 |
| el-gokulo | try kde 3 for some days out. then kde 4. and you should notice the differences | 10:47 |
| ali3n51 | have read the bible | 10:48 |
| storbeck | Lynoure: I think it's the whole idea of "have a gui for everything" | 10:48 |
| Lynoure | storbeck: to me too much windows would be forcing to do things through the gui... mostly I don't have to, unless I want to | 10:49 |
| GSF1200S | how would I make the 'edit as root' option in konquerors right click menu open Kate instead of Kwrite? | 10:49 |
| storbeck | Hm, you have a point. :D | 10:50 |
| el-gokulo | GSF1200S, settings -> configure konqueror -> file association | 10:51 |
| GSF1200S | hmm.. i looked there- guess I need to figure out which option changes the root editor. text files already open up in kate by default, just not when I use the edit as root option | 10:52 |

| happy | What program does everyone prefer for partitioning ? | 10:55 |
| thomaspost | gnome gtk gui partition manager | 10:56 |
| storbeck | thomaspost: That works in KDE? | 10:58 |
| SlimeyPete | parted seems to be the favourite | 10:59 |
| SlimeyPete | but make sure you back up your data first (some bloke didn't do so yesterday and then had a go at me because parted broke ;) ) | 10:59 |
| SlimeyPete | though I didn't even tell him to use it... | 11:00 |
| SlimeyPete | (some people are odd) | 11:00 |
| thomaspost | gparted will work in both enviroment so long as you have the dependancy | 11:00 |
| SlimeyPete | there's qtparted too, for KDE. | 11:00 |
| thomaspost | qtparted is for kde | 11:00 |
| happy | that they are, I'm just looking for a partitioner that will show me all current partitions with the ability to mod,add and delete partitions, preferably command line | 11:01 |

| storbeck | happy, because it's slow | 11:02 |
| happy | page render times ? | 11:04 |
| storbeck | Just everything, even opening the browser. | 11:04 |
| storbeck | I'm going with swiftfox. I can feel a noticable difference. | 11:04 |
| ere4si | been using swiftfox for a year - it's quicker | 11:04 |
| storbeck | I'm trying to get apps that use less resources | 11:05 |
| happy | I never found swiftfox to be faster, infact i thought it was the opposite.... I wonder where I went wrong ? | 11:06 |
| GSF1200S | Ok, does anyone know the .rc file that controls the config for the right click menu in konqueror? | 11:07 |

| ali3n51 | welcome back | 11:07 |
| ali3n51 | hello | 11:07 |
| ali3n51 | i explore kde4 | 11:08 |
| ali3n51 | there something new in kde 4 | 11:08 |
| emilsedgh | !kde4 | ali3n51 | 11:09 |
| ubotu | ali3n51: KDE 4.0.1 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0.1 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.1.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-4.0.1.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 | 11:09 |
| emilsedgh | ali3n51: btw, its not ready as a daily DE | 11:09 |
| ali3n51 | how to change the bootscreen in kubuntu linux | 11:09 |
| happy | are there any major problems with swiftfox? I'm thinking of switching right now | 11:10 |
| ere4si | nope | 11:11 |
| storbeck | I haven't heard of any | 11:11 |
| ere4si | it's just an optimised firefox | 11:11 |
| happy | so updating and plugins all work the same ? | 11:11 |
| ere4si | plugins do | 11:12 |
| happy | and updating is just done through apt ? | 11:12 |
| ere4si | no - it's installed with a script | 11:13 |
| ere4si | from their site | 11:13 |
| ali3n51 | how to change the boot screen | 11:14 |
| ere4si | !usplash | ali3n51 | 11:15 |
| ubotu | ali3n51: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 11:15 |
| GSF1200S | anyone else know of a way to make kate launch when I use the 'edit as root' option? | 11:15 |
| ali3n51 | you mean you want to add in apt | 11:15 |
| happy | no , i just wanted to know what happens when a new firefox version comes out, how do you go about updating swiftfox ? | 11:17 |
| ere4si | swiftfox is always one version behind firefox - takes time to optimise it | 11:17 |
| ere4si | and mozilla doesn't offer swiftfox | 11:18 |
| happy | yep i gathered that | 11:19 |
| ere4si | http://getswiftfox.com/ happy | 11:19 |
| happy | yeah I'm just reading that now, thanks though | 11:19 |
| ere4si | k | 11:19 |
| happy | so the bad for swiftfox is it's proprietary, not all plugins are fully compatible and it's always one version behind ? | 11:22 |
| storbeck | The newest version of firefox isn't always the best one. | 11:22 |
| ere4si | haven't found a plugin that doesn't work | 11:23 |
| happy | do you know what kind of performance increase you get ? | 11:24 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | storbeck: are you still there? | 11:25 |
| storbeck | Yes | 11:25 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I fixed it. | 11:25 |
| ere4si | happy: it's only a second or two mostly | 11:25 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | Installed the new kernel 2.6.24-8-generic | 11:25 |
| storbeck | Nice :D | 11:25 |
| storbeck | Did you apt-get install it? | 11:25 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I like to thank you and stoffer for the help. | 11:26 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | no, I did a script on the forum | 11:26 |
| ere4si | dillo is way quicker but hasn't been developed for ages | 11:26 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | it worked wonderfully. | 11:26 |
| storbeck | Nice | 11:26 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | now I am listening to my music. | 11:26 |
| storbeck | You're welcome | 11:27 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | well, let me get back to work. duties call. | 11:27 |
| storbeck | Have fun | 11:27 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | see you guys next week. I am off for the next few days. | 11:27 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | Going to Vail for some skiing. | 11:28 |
| storbeck | Haha, those are some nice "work duties" | 11:29 |
| happy | does anyone know of a program similar to nodebox or processing, except using python running under linux ? | 11:31 |
| storbeck | pyGTK? | 11:33 |
| ere4si | happy: this says it's for ubuntu 7.10 - http://dev.nodebox.net/wiki/Qt | 11:34 |
| storbeck | http://nodebox.net/code/index.php/Movies_for_Mecca | 11:37 |
| storbeck | Very nice! | 11:37 |
| happy | Great, thanks for that | 11:38 |
| storbeck | Nodebox looks neat. | 11:39 |
| happy | besides mac only | 11:40 |
| AlferedHichcok | sudo slapadd -l init.ldif bdb_db_open: only one suffix allowed backend_startup_one: bi_db_open failed! (-1) slap_startup failed | 11:41 |
| happy | I really just want to start off "drawing" with some python code, then make it more complex once i get my head around that, do you think something like nodebox would be the way to go or would there be a library for python that supports that ? | 11:43 |
| happy | i was thinking maybe pygame ? | 11:43 |
| happy | sorry for being a bit off topic also | 11:44 |
| storbeck | You could use pygtk and cairo | 11:44 |
| storbeck | http://www.pygtk.org/articles/cairo-pygtk-widgets/cairo-pygtk-widgets.htm | 11:44 |
| storbeck | http://www.cairographics.org | 11:45 |

| ubotu | 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. :-) | 11:59 |
| bittyx | Sorry :) OK, I've just installed kubuntu, everything in order, until I tried to set my resolution - I have a widescreen monitor. I've just set it to LCD 1680x1050, the Generic option, since I couldn't find my particular monitor anywhere on the list. | 12:00 |

| bittyx | When I restarted, the picture was all mangled, and I can't see anything on my desktop now. It's as if .. | 12:01 |
| bittyx | OK, thanks :) | 12:01 |
| tekteen | bittyx: if you can not see the desktop. you may also want to try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in a terminal | 12:02 |
| tekteen | you can get to a terminal by typing ctrl+alt+F2 | 12:03 |
| tekteen | then back to the main desktop with alt+F7 | 12:03 |
| bittyx | Yup, I just read that part at the linked page, I'm gonna try that now. Thanks again for helping. Bye! | 12:07 |

| adred | hi how to remove KDE groupware wizard? | 12:46 |
| storbeck | adred: What is the package name? | 12:47 |
| adred | i dont know why im asking i dont how to remove it by using konsole. usually i just remove apps by their name but KDE group wizard has broken long name... | 12:49 |
| adred | i dont know thats why im asking bcoz i dont how to remove it by using konsole. usually i just remove apps by their name but KDE group wizard has broken long name... | 12:49 |
| Dr_willis | it may not be a specific ap. it may be part of a larget package | 12:49 |
| adred | u mean it is a group of apps? | 12:49 |
| Dr_willis | No idea. I cant recall ever using any groupware stuff. I doubt if its a single package all by itself. | 12:50 |
| Dr_willis | You could use the package manager tool and search for the filename and see what package its found in. | 12:51 |
| storbeck | Try, sudo apt-get remove egroupware | 12:51 |
| adred | im on it | 12:51 |
| adred | egroupware it not installed | 12:52 |
| storbeck | bah | 12:52 |
| storbeck | do dpkg -l > output | 12:54 |
| storbeck | then look through there until something looks like it | 12:54 |

| JuJuBee | Greetings... I have a shell script I wish to run as a cron job. I can run it from CLI, but for some reason it does not execute via crontab... Any help? | 12:58 |
| storbeck | JuJuBee: http://www.adminschoice.com/docs/crontab.htm | 12:59 |
| Dr_willis | JuJuBee, give the full path to the script | 12:59 |
| Dr_willis | and you are wanting the script ran as root? | 12:59 |
| JuJuBee | My crontab entry is 0 2 * * 1,2,3,4,5 /usr/local/myCrons/dothis.sh | 13:00 |
| storbeck | Did you chmod it? | 13:00 |
| bittyx | Hi, it's me again. I've managed to restore my screen resolution rather easily, but, again, it's 1280x1024, instead of the wide 1680x1050 it's supposed to be. I've tried the autodetect script, and editing the xorg.conf. Neither works. I don't think other solutions apply to me. Could my video card cause such a problem? | 13:00 |
| === tackat is now known as tackat_lunch | ||
| Dr_willis | Its possible its the moniotr not reporting that it can do that res. | 13:01 |
| storbeck | JuJuBee: chmod +x /usr/local/myCrons/dothis.sh | 13:01 |
| Dr_willis | I recall using a xmodeline generator web site ages ago for my widescreen laptop. But i havent had to mess with that in ages. | 13:01 |
| omeow | Hi there. | 13:01 |
| JuJuBee | Already +x | 13:02 |
| JuJuBee | I have 2 that I need run as cron, one runs fine the other does not. | 13:02 |
| bittyx | Well, actually, when I run the autodetect, there's the part where it displays the possible resolutions, with some already selected. The 1680x1050 is selected already. When I go to System Settings -> Monitor & Display, the largest possible resolution is 1280x1024, whereas the Refresh rate is 76 Hz (I cannot change it), instead of 60 Hz, which my monitor would support. | 13:02 |
| jussi01 | bittyx: try this, under the "Monitor" section add a bit tht says Option "Preferred Mode" "1680x1050_60.00" | 13:03 |
| jussi01 | but with your preferred mode | 13:03 |
| jussi01 | leave off the _60.00 | 13:03 |
| storbeck | Shouldn't it be 1-5 instead of 1,2,3,4,5? | 13:04 |
| omeow | Adept just installed a list of updates and now I can no longer type a double quote. If I try it, then a / appears instead. What happened? | 13:04 |
| JuJuBee | storebeck, according to the docs, it is comman separated list | 13:04 |
| storbeck | Hm | 13:04 |
| Dr_willis | I thouight 1-5 was the same as 1,2,3,4,5 | 13:05 |
| jussi01 | omeow: sound like your keyboard variant got changed | 13:05 |
| jussi01 | !keyboard | 13:05 |
| ubotu | To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts | 13:05 |
| Dr_willis | but i rarely use cron. :) | 13:05 |
| omeow | jussi01: It's still set to US int which is what it was set to before. | 13:05 |
| jussi01 | omeow: not sure then :( | 13:06 |
| storbeck | Your crontab entry seems valid | 13:06 |
| storbeck | I don't see why it's not working | 13:06 |
| bittyx | jussi01: Nope, tried the preferred mode, with and without _60.00. Still the same. Any other ideas? I'm really new to Linux so I have no idea how things go with drivers and such - perhaps there is a problem with those? | 13:07 |
| adred | hi, i think its the KDE server configuration wizards. package name, kdepim-wizards. il try removing it | 13:07 |
| JuJuBee | Me either. I have several crons running. All files have same file perms, just this one not working. | 13:07 |
| storbeck | Does crontab -l display it right? | 13:07 |
| JuJuBee | appears to | 13:07 |
| jussi01 | !fixres | bittyx have you tried the instructions here? | 13:07 |
| ubotu | bittyx have you tried the instructions here?: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

| jussi01 | bittyx: and just checking, you did restartx after making the change? | 13:08 |
| storbeck | How long have you ad it running? | 13:08 |
| storbeck | had* | 13:08 |
| bittyx | Yup. The options that would apply to me don't change anything. | 13:08 |
| bittyx | Well, does CTRL+ALT+BKSP do the same? | 13:08 |
| bittyx | If yes, then I've done that. | 13:09 |
| JuJuBee | I have been using it since Sept. It was running at 8am at first, but then I changed the time to 7am and now it doesn't work. So I tried 2am instead and same, not working. | 13:09 |
| storbeck | Ah | 13:09 |
| adred | i have removed it thanks..:) | 13:09 |
| jussi01 | bittyx: should yes. but its generally better to log out and ctrl+e ;) | 13:09 |
| JuJuBee | Ah ? you see something? | 13:10 |
| storbeck | Heh, so it only works at 8AM? | 13:10 |
| bittyx | jussi01: Ah, what does ctrl+e do? | 13:10 |
| JuJuBee | Well, I did not try setting it back to 8, I want it run earlier if possible. | 13:10 |
| bittyx | jussi01: Nevermind, I'm just gonna try it. Is there any other place where I could find ideas as to what the problem is? | 13:11 |
| jussi01 | bittyx: restarts x if you are at the login screen :) | 13:11 |
| storbeck | I don't know. I'm stumped | 13:11 |
| adred | Hi, how do I remove the files from ~/.thumbnails through the konsole? | 13:11 |
| JuJuBee | I will try 8am again and see what happens | 13:11 |
| jussi01 | bittyx: the link the bot gave you would be a good place to start | 13:11 |
| JuJuBee | Can't believe it will make a diff. | 13:11 |
| storbeck | adred: rm -rf ~/.thumbnails/* | 13:11 |
| jussi01 | bittyx: also, what kind of gfx card you have? | 13:11 |
| JuJuBee | Where does cron log errors? | 13:11 |
| bittyx | jussi01: Perhaps there is a problem with the video card? The autodetect script sets vesa as the default driver. | 13:12 |
| jussi01 | bittyx: which card is it? | 13:12 |
| bittyx | jussi01: I've already been to that link, it doesn't help. As to the video card, it's an Asus EAH2400PRO. It's a rather cheap card, but it works fine with WinXP, so I suppose it should work here, too. | 13:13 |

| Dr_willis | sime times kde dosent see menu changes. | 13:35 |
| Dr_willis | xmms is a bit old and out of date in many ways. You may want to start trying other media players | 13:36 |
| adred | i mean xmms2. is it old? | 13:36 |
| Dr_willis | xmms2 - was way -- flakey/weird last i tried it. i havent tried it again in ages. | 13:36 |
| Dr_willis | i stick with 'bmpx' these days | 13:36 |
| adred | ok. is audacious good? | 13:37 |
| Dr_willis | If it does what you need. :) | 13:37 |
| Dr_willis | try it and see | 13:37 |
| Dr_willis | amarok is also nice | 13:37 |
| * jussi01 likes the stock amarok :) | 13:37 | |

| Dr_willis | :) | 13:40 |
| adred | still | 13:40 |
| dasnipa | 29 viruses? you be screwed | 13:40 |
| storbeck | You have 29 viruses on linux? | 13:41 |
| adred | yeah, it's crystal clear | 13:41 |
| adred | i think it's on my windoze partition | 13:41 |
| adred | is it? | 13:41 |
| storbeck | Heh, Windows IS the virus. | 13:41 |
| Dr_willis | clamv - scans windows systems for window viruses - correct. :) | 13:42 |
| Dr_willis | Not sure what it does if anything for linux systems | 13:42 |
| jussi01 | Dr_willis: it scans linux systems for windows viruses also... (ie. in email) | 13:42 |
| adred | so will clamav delete them? | 13:42 |
| adred | what if those files are crucial to my windoze system?:( | 13:43 |
| Dr_willis | adred, good question.. it depends on if it found the virus 'installed' or Just IN a file.. | 13:43 |
| Dr_willis | there may be 29 warez apps with ciruses in them. that you havent ran.. | 13:43 |
| Dr_willis | OR there may be a bunch all over the system/windows dir and other places.. | 13:44 |
| teo- | i have broadcom 4311 card.. and i dont have linux driver i am using windows driver with ndiswrapper can i put the card in monitor mode?? | 13:45 |
| adred | but they wont any harm to my box right? | 13:45 |
| adred | do | 13:45 |
| adred | i mean kubuntu box | 13:45 |
| Dr_willis | since they are not getting 'ran' - No. | 13:46 |
| Dr_willis | unless you are using wine. and running the binaries that are infected | 13:46 |
| adred | Dr_willis: have you experienced this? Should I delete those viruses? im going crazy, clamav detects 52 viruses already. but my Kaspersky doesn't even notice it.. | 13:50 |
| Dr_willis | depends on what its finding.. and if they are false positives | 13:50 |
| Dr_willis | and where they are at. | 13:50 |
| jussi01 | bittyx: so, how did things go? | 13:50 |
| bittyx | jussi01: Nyah, nothing. I guess I'll just give up. :( | 13:50 |
| Dr_willis | at the LEAST i would run a few other virus checker tools | 13:50 |
| jussi01 | bittyx: dont give up yet, can I see your xorg.conf now? | 13:50 |
| Dr_willis | 52 false positives - i would say would be rare. :) | 13:51 |
| bittyx | jussi01: I've reverted it to the same one I've pasted for you - I couldn't even startx with the modified one | 13:51 |

| dverzolla | I'm getting troubles with screensaver... how solve this? | 13:54 |
| bittyx | jussi01: That displays a lot of stuff, and in the end, "Aborted (core dumped)" | 13:54 |
| bittyx | jussi01: The next command also says "Warning: Could not find configuration file" | 13:54 |
| bittyx | jussi01: Now, in the manual you linked me to, there's a comment that aticonfig doesn't seem to work for Gutsy Gibbons, which is what I'm using, and that is from the Feisty part of the manual. | 13:55 |
| bittyx | jussi01: But the instructions for Gibbons just point to Feisty. | 13:55 |
| adred | Dr_willis: I was wrong, around 90 percent of 52 are just errors.lol. clamav couldn't access to root files of my box thus the error reports :) | 13:56 |
| bittyx | jussi01: Oh, btw, the "lspci -nn | grep VGA" command, which should report the graphics controller; I get this when i type it: "02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device [1002:94c3]" | 13:59 |

| andy | i just uninstalled wine and deleted it from my K menu reinstalled wine and it hasn't installed icons on k menu | 17:12 |
| andy | why wouldn't it install icons? | 17:13 |

| andy | ty | 17:15 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | check lost & found or Other (don't remember which would have it) | 17:16 |
| Lynoure | On my system Wine icons went unintuitively into a category of their own, so I only noticed them when I was about to give up hope on finding them :) | 17:17 |
| nosrednaekim | Daisuke_Laptop: lol | 17:17 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | Lynoure: it actually makes sense to do it that way - categories are determined by packages (initially), and windows apps aren't packaged in that way... i guess if there were a database for wine that saw what you installed, it could put it in the proper category, but putting all windows programs together, while not entirely intuitive, does make sense | 17:19 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | and that was a whole lot of s-o-c typing so forgive me if i repeated myself | 17:19 |

| rickest | Ahmuck: or something like http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=275561 | 17:32 |
| Ahmuck | in the old dos days, and windows 9x days you could hook up a serial cable from one pc to another and do data transfer. since usb is serial, linux doesn't have this? | 17:32 |

| venik | this is becoming like WINDOZ... | 19:47 |
| venik | when I type: blkid I get all the other drives listed, but not the USB hard drive | 19:48 |
| hellmaster | hi everyone | 19:49 |
| flipstar | seems like the drive is missing | 19:49 |
| flipstar | hi hellmaster | 19:49 |
| hellmaster | i have a question: if i want to make a DVD video and make my own screen and everything what program can i use? | 19:49 |
| hellmaster | i have the videos in avi format | 19:49 |
| BluesKaj | make your own screen ? | 19:50 |
| venik | flipstar-- Krusader does see the drive, but Mountman cannot mount it | 19:50 |
| llutz | hellmaster: qdvdauthor, mandvd maybe you'll need to convert videos before (with avidemux) | 19:50 |
| venik | it says that the drive does not exist | 19:50 |
| hellmaster | thanks | 19:50 |
| jussi01 | kdenlive is a good video editor | 19:50 |
| hellmaster | llutz | 19:50 |
| venik | reboot time... | 19:51 |
| hellmaster | let me explain just in case llutz, i have a compilation of family videos, and i want to make a dvd with them | 19:52 |
| hellmaster | i want it to have a menu so they can choose what episode (video) they want to see | 19:53 |
| hellmaster | birthday, new year, etc.. | 19:53 |
| hellmaster | those will help me right? | 19:53 |
| llutz | hellmaster: they will | 19:53 |
| BluesKaj | jussi01: ok chrooted to "root@ubuntu#" in the konsole , since I was unable to save genii's instructions would you mind scrolling back and posting them for me ? thanks | 19:54 |
| flipstar | BluesKaj: You boot to livecd, mount the old / then loopmount /dev /proc /sys into the mountpoint. Also if net needed then hosts and interfaces. then chroot into the mountpoint and what you need to original system | 19:54 |
| BluesKaj | todisc is a good app to set up menus | 19:55 |
| flipstar | copyright by genii :) | 19:55 |
| llutz | hellmaster: but be carefull, qdvauthor is very mighty but needs a lot of reading/testing/learning | 19:55 |
| hellmaster | in what sense llutz?? | 19:56 |
| BluesKaj | flipstar , not sure how to about that .. 'sudo loopmount /dev /proc /sys' ? | 19:57 |
| hellmaster | ive done things like that before with nero vision, but since i change to linux, nero vision no more | 19:58 |
| flipstar | probably sudo mount -t proc proc /target/proc sudo mount -t sysfs sysfs /target/sys | 19:58 |
| flipstar | err since you are root without sudo | 19:59 |

| BluesKaj | flipstar , I have no access to my kubuntu partiton , the login and the tty are inaccessible on both generic and recovery , so I was advised to uninstall the language packs that came with yesterdays updates , (which I tried to avoid on this last install BTW) in order to fix my broken setup. | 20:04 |

| Arwen | flipstar, hmm? no, it exists on MS Windows Server and probably Linux too | 21:28 |
| Arwen | just don't know how to use it | 21:28 |
| flipstar | if you really need this 512mb you can do this .. | 21:28 |
| x_link | flipstar: Okey then =) | 21:28 |
| ScarFreewill | how can I set my http proxy in cli? | 21:28 |
| x_link | But 64-bits should be better? | 21:28 |
| flipstar | not nessesary | 21:28 |
| x_link | Okey. | 21:29 |
| flipstar | it might be faster in some apps | 21:29 |
| x_link | flipstar: But then I will stay I guess. | 21:29 |
| x_link | But now my RAM isn't dual-channel I guess? | 21:29 |
| BluesKaj | x_link: depends on your graphics card | 21:29 |
| _dennister | x_link, i echo flipstar's comment..don't do what I did and change a running system | 21:29 |
| x_link | Since it only uses 3.5GB =/ | 21:29 |
| ScarFreewill | x_link, you'll get less support for various applications as well as packages if you use 64bit version | 21:29 |
| Arwen | 64-bit is faster until you have to load 32-bit libs for compatibility | 21:29 |
| BluesKaj | 64 bit is lacking with ATI hardware | 21:29 |
| _dennister | I just did and now i'm in here looking for help :( | 21:29 |
| x_link | _dennister: Did you just change to 64-bits? | 21:29 |
| _dennister | no, i've tried various times to go 64-bits...always sorry | 21:30 |
| x_link | _dennister: Okey, what didn't you like with it? | 21:30 |
| BluesKaj | _dennister: that's been my experience too | 21:30 |
| x_link | I'm not trying to be negative or a pain in the ass with my questions. I just wanna know =) | 21:30 |
| x_link | So no hard feeling for my questions! =) | 21:30 |
| _dennister | the fact taht some apps won't work with it...like flash...sorry, but I love good rhetoric | 21:30 |
| _dennister | I'd miss listening to good presentations like michael geist, eben moglen... | 21:31 |
| _dennister | hey, BluesKaj long time no chat | 21:31 |
| BluesKaj | yeah _dennister , how you been ? :) | 21:32 |
| x_link | _dennister: Okey. | 21:32 |
| x_link | Just one last thing. | 21:32 |
| _dennister | u must be a real expert by now...it's been rough lately, BluesKaj , but I'm recovering now since i moved again | 21:32 |
| x_link | Now that I have 4GB RAM, but only 3.5GB works. | 21:32 |
| x_link | Then I my RAM isn't working as Dual-Channel, right? | 21:32 |
| _dennister | and it'll be even better when i win my lawsuit against my old landlords...more hardware, here we come :) | 21:33 |
| x_link | _dennister: hehe | 21:33 |
| _dennister | but anyway, i need some help with kde4/kde3 | 21:33 |
| flipstar | x_link: no..the problem is that a 32bit system can only adress 3.5gig ..so everything else cant be used | 21:33 |
| BluesKaj | _dennister: far from 'expert " I'm afraid , aamof , i'm in particularly bad jam with this latest update that borked my setup :P | 21:33 |
| _dennister | yeah, i think my latest update this morning is what borked me up, too...what did u update? | 21:34 |
| x_link | flipstar: I know, but am I using Dual-Channel now or Singel-Channel? | 21:34 |
| BluesKaj | I tried kde4 , but it wasn't for me | 21:34 |
| x_link | BluesKaj: Not me either =/ | 21:34 |
| x_link | BluesKaj: Just upgraded to KDE 3.5.9 | 21:34 |
| BluesKaj | oww x_link | 21:35 |
| x_link | =) | 21:35 |
| x_link | But KDE 4.0 isn't done yet- | 21:35 |
| _dennister | well i can't get into kde3 now since my update of today...kde4 is the only way I can get logged in to the xserver | 21:35 |
| flipstar | x_link: you have to take a look at your motherboard for that | 21:35 |
| x_link | It will maybe look better in 3-6 months or so. | 21:35 |
| x_link | flipstar: Okey. | 21:35 |
| x_link | flipstar: I only have 4 memory-slots, and I have RAM-sticks in every one. | 21:35 |
| x_link | So it must be Dual-Channe.. | 21:35 |
| x_link | Channel. | 21:35 |
| BluesKaj | _dennister: it was yesterday , the word is that a language package upgrade is the offending item | 21:36 |
| x_link | But I thought since it only uses 3.5GB of those 4GB maybe it's not dual-channel right now. | 21:36 |
| flipstar | x_link: yep if your board support this, you have it :) | 21:36 |
| ScarFreewill | BluesKaj, how long do you think kde3 wil be available for kubuntu? | 21:36 |
| _dennister | BluesKaj, yep! that's it! i'd forgotten, thanks! | 21:36 |
| flipstar | ScarFreewill: at least until 8.10 :) | 21:36 |
| x_link | flipstar: okey, I will reboot now to see =) | 21:37 |
| ScarFreewill | lts right? | 21:37 |
| BluesKaj | ScarFreewill: prolly another 6mos | 21:37 |
| _dennister | so perhaps I should purge the language pack? will that help me get back into kde3 and its apps? | 21:37 |
| mohi | hi, is it possible to connect two laptops with their wireless for internet and file sharing? | 21:37 |
| ScarFreewill | BluesKaj, but if its in the lts wouldn't it be available for a little longer? | 21:38 |
| BluesKaj | _dennister: that's what I'm trying to do...I have absolutely no acces to either the login page or the tty on either generic or recovery :P | 21:38 |
| BluesKaj | ScarFreewill: if it's LTS yes | 21:38 |
| BluesKaj | <--running on live CD | 21:39 |
| ScarFreewill | ah got inet working for my kde appes | 21:40 |
| ScarFreewill | eth0 down | 21:40 |
| _dennister | i get the login page, type in my password, only 2 out of 6 or 8 icons get lit up, and then i'm dropped back into the login screen...i did login successfully with a console login, but 'starx' wouldn't work...dropped me right back into console | 21:40 |
| Exilant | all formated now, i hope that backup worked :) | 21:41 |
| ScarFreewill | I'm off Good Luck _dennister | 21:41 |
| _dennister | bye ScarFreewill | 21:42 |
| rjb | hmm tried bitpim, but it's not able to talk to my phone over usb afaics | 21:42 |
| BluesKaj | _dennister: exactly the problem I had yesterday ...ran out of options and patience (IMO anyway) and did 3 clean installs so far ..all fail upon rebooting after setting up my fav apps and sources ..left the graphics settings alone , except for enabling the restricted default driver | 21:42 |
| _dennister | oh, nooooooo!!! and now ur in livecd!...I can't do a clean install now...I've got that lawsuit I'm still preparing | 21:43 |
| _dennister | hearing is on march 13 :P | 21:44 |
| BluesKaj | trying to rescue my last install, but it's taking a while , cuz my cli abilities are rather limited | 21:44 |
| _dennister | ok...locales 2.3.6 is conflicting with language-pack-en-base | 21:44 |
| _dennister | does anyone have a link to the fix for this thing? | 21:45 |
| mathew_ | hey does anyone hear know a quick and easy to set up tv viewer? | 21:45 |

| mathew_ | on piture | 21:45 |
| BluesKaj | _dennister: you may be able to rescue it , genii seems to think it can be done | 21:46 |
| Exilant | rjb: you might have some luck with bitpim nonetheless, for example it can browse the filesystem on my s81, but doesn't automatically recognise it or can do anything else | 21:46 |
| _dennister | there were 3 language related updates i allowed today...does anyone remember precisely which ones they were? | 21:46 |
| rjb | Exilant: i tried, but couldn't get bitpim to communicate w/ my samsung *at all* | 21:46 |

| rjb | bluetooth is kind of flaky, every once in a while the devices just disconnect, breaking a long-running file transfer | 21:52 |
| BluesKaj | flipstar: mount: proc already mounted or /media/target/proc busy ; mount: according to mtab, proc is already mounted on /media/target/proc | 21:55 |
| rjb | and the speed reminds me of the times i used a printer cable to hook 2 pc's together | 21:55 |
| Exilant | hehe :) | 21:55 |
| rjb | PLIP it was called - IP over a parallel line (== printer cable) | 21:56 |
| Exilant | those were the days | 21:57 |
| Exilant | actually, that was better than the serial cable | 21:57 |
| rjb | faster, yes | 21:57 |
| * BluesKaj wonders what's next after mounting | 22:00 | |
| === tackat_running is now known as tackat | ||
| flipstar | BluesKaj: after mount youre near to your target..try unmounting first .. | 22:03 |
| MrJoey | What Ubuntu package is fdisk in? | 22:03 |
| Arwen | !search fdisk | 22:03 |
| ubotu | Found: | 22:03 |
| BluesKaj | flipstar: unmounting ?? | 22:03 |
| flipstar | its in base install | 22:04 |
| flipstar | with umount .. | 22:04 |
| BluesKaj | pls explain | 22:04 |
| flipstar | umount media/target/proc | 22:04 |
| BluesKaj | ok, don't understand why tho | 22:05 |
| trappist | now, any easy way to dump all crontabs to file I could use to restore them? | 22:05 |
| === jerome_ is now known as Jahromeo | ||
| Jahromeo | !compiz | 22:05 |
| crookshanks | anyone know if it's possible to increase the buffer limit on pasting into konsole? | 22:06 |
| Jahromeo | ? compiz | 22:06 |

| MrJoey | Okay, fdisk is apparently in the package "mount" | 22:06 |
| flipstar | it says it already is mounted.. you also could just restart BluesKaj .. | 22:06 |
| BluesKaj | flipstar: did the cmd and this was the message : umount: media/target/proc is not mounted (according to mtab) | 22:06 |
| flipstar | crookshanks: in kde3 setting-->progress or similar | 22:07 |
| _dennister | ok, well i've pinged genii...will have to wait until he comes back from whereever | 22:07 |
| Aranel | I have a problem with Xterm. Here: xterm: Can't execvp /usr/X11R6/bin/luit: No such file or directory | 22:07 |
| flipstar | BluesKaj: restart would probably easyier..i did a error when i said mount media/blah instead of /media/blah .. | 22:08 |
| crookshanks | flipstar: progress? i can't find that option | 22:09 |
| BluesKaj | restart ? ...I | 22:09 |
| flipstar | crookshanks: i dont know how it is called..but it is in the menu there .. | 22:09 |
| swatto | anyone else go the bug when you click on a internet link in a program it trys to load the link in konqueror and then konqueror just disappears... | 22:09 |
| BluesKaj | I'm on Live CD , flipstar | 22:09 |
| flipstar | yes | 22:09 |
| Jahromeo | yep swatto had it with segmenation issues | 22:09 |
| Jahromeo | i reformatted | 22:09 |
| crookshanks | flipstar: do you mean the history buffer? that's not linked to pasting though is it? | 22:09 |
| flipstar | crookshanks: this is what you wanted to change dont you | 22:10 |
| swatto | hmmm | 22:10 |
| crookshanks | flipstar: not history, i wanted to increasing the pasting buffer | 22:10 |
| flipstar | crookshanks: default is 1000 lines | 22:10 |
| flipstar | no it is not the bash history.. | 22:10 |
| flipstar | thats a different thing | 22:10 |
| crookshanks | flipstar: i don't think i'm explaining my question well enough | 22:11 |
| crookshanks | flipstar: if i paste into konsole from my clipboard, using shift+insert, there's apparently a limit onto how much i can paste | 22:11 |
| flipstar | yes..1000 lines .. | 22:11 |
| crookshanks | flipstar: that's not the case as far as i can tell | 22:12 |
| crookshanks | i just tried to paste 413 lines and it stopped short | 22:12 |

| dogma | ? | 22:52 |
| SlimeyPete | use gaim or pidgin or kopete for msn chat. | 22:52 |
| hydrogen | err | 22:52 |
| hydrogen | gaim is pidgin | 22:52 |
| hydrogen | so you can't use one or the other | 22:52 |
| SlimeyPete | can too - older versions of kubuntu call it "gaim" ;) | 22:53 |
| dogma | when i launch kopete that's crash | 22:53 |
| dogma | (sorry for my english it's my main language) | 22:53 |
| dogma | (not*) | 22:53 |
| SlimeyPete | try pidgin then | 22:53 |

| rickest | Jahromeo: partimage makes a backup of your whole partition so it's at least similar | 23:02 |

| BanTam | but im a little confused about the instructions | 23:31 |
| Arwen | well, for starters, paste your xorg.conf and walk through the steps you've taken so far | 23:31 |
| BanTam | ok | 23:32 |
| BanTam | http://pastebin.com/m7cb5b969 | 23:33 |
| BanTam | theres my xorg.conf | 23:33 |
| === kvl3vr4 is now known as franciscoo | ||
| Arwen | BanTam, ok, and what are you trying to accomplish? | 23:34 |
| BanTam | what confuses me is, in the device section, am i adding the settings for the 2nd monitor (the one im trying to add) or for my MAIN monitor, and for the Monitor section, am i adding the settings to reflect on my MAIN monitor or the 2nd? | 23:34 |
| BanTam | im trying to get my dual monitors working BOTH with 3d acceleration | 23:34 |
| BanTam | im currently using xinerama (thats not the xorg.conf file in using for xinerama though.. | 23:35 |
| dogma_ | i've downloaded again kopete but i dont where must i click there a lot a files i understand nothing... | 23:35 |
| dogma_ | on windows we must click on .exe files and on kubuntu how can i install a software? | 23:35 |
| Arwen | BanTam, under Monitor/Screen, you enter in the settings for your first display | 23:36 |
| Arwen | and then you add the rest of the settings in Device | 23:36 |
| Arwen | via Blah2Option | 23:36 |
| Arwen | I see two problems with your xorg.conf so far | 23:36 |
| Arwen | Metamodes should be "Horiz1xVert1-Horiz2xVert2" | 23:36 |
| BanTam | the device section, should reflect which monitor? main or 2nd? | 23:37 |
| Arwen | second | 23:37 |
| Arwen | MonitorLayout "CRC, CRT" doesn't look right either | 23:37 |
| Arwen | CRT, CRT* | 23:37 |

| Arwen | 20000 packages, some of which ought to be phased out :-P | 23:38 |
| BanTam | [6:37:32 pm] <Arwen> CRT, CRT* <--shouldbe a * and not " ? | 23:38 |

| nosrednaekim | Arwen» actually,its upwarsd of 25000 now | 23:39 |

| BanTam | how about : Metamodes should be "Horiz1xVert1-Horiz2xVert2" i enter that? or the #'s | 23:39 |
| dogma_ | ^^ | 23:39 |
| Arwen | the numbers | 23:39 |
| Arwen | like 1280x1024-1280x800 | 23:39 |

| Arwen | BanTam, look at the syntax more carefully | 23:40 |
| dogma_ | i deep in sh*t ^^ | 23:40 |
| BanTam | oh sorry i see should be n x | 23:40 |
| Arwen | "1024-768" "1024-768" <-- should be 1024x768-1024x768 | 23:40 |
| nosrednaekim | flipstar» hardy or gutsy? | 23:40 |
| BanTam | thanks for pointing that out | 23:40 |
| flipstar | ehm hardy.. | 23:40 |
| Arwen | you also don't need "MergedNonRectangular" since they're the same rez | 23:40 |
| nosrednaekim | flipstar» well.... almost 25000 :) | 23:40 |
| flipstar | jep :P | 23:41 |
| BanTam | and the monitor section you say should reflect the MAIN monitor correct? | 23:41 |
| Arwen | yes | 23:41 |
| Arwen | the CRT2Whatever options reflect your secondary | 23:41 |
| BanTam | so that SHOULD work then? | 23:41 |
| BanTam | with those changes? | 23:41 |
| BanTam | Oh how about my drivers ? is the fglrx driver ok? | 23:41 |
| Arwen | well, your monitorlayout setting looks dodgy | 23:41 |
| Arwen | and you can't use it with fglrx, only atu | 23:42 |
| Arwen | ati* | 23:42 |
| BanTam | ok | 23:42 |
| sMonk | nosrednaekim: so if I do: "sudo apt-get remove language-pack-base language-pack-en" Won't that mess up all my fonts? or no? | 23:42 |
| BanTam | well i will give it a whirl and see what happens thanks so much. will let you know what hapens | 23:42 |
| Arwen | BanTam, wait! | 23:42 |
| BanTam | ok | 23:43 |
| nosrednaekim | sMonk» certainly not your fonts...it just removes the canadian english dictionaries... | 23:43 |
| sMonk | nosrednaekim: or should i dpkg? | 23:43 |
| Arwen | BanTam, are both your monitors attached via VGA? | 23:43 |
| BanTam | yes | 23:43 |
| sMonk | ok | 23:43 |
| nosrednaekim | sMonk» you do use canadian repositories, right? | 23:43 |
| Arwen | then I think it should be crt1 and crt2 but I'm not sure | 23:43 |
| BanTam | uts a dual head | 23:43 |
| Arwen | for MonitorLayout | 23:43 |
| Arwen | you really don't have DVI? o.O | 23:43 |
| sMonk | mostly yes.. except for the spell check, because it only seems to work on US | 23:43 |
| BanTam | well one monitor is using the adapter | 23:44 |
| nosrednaekim | sMonk» okey.... then removing those should fix it | 23:44 |
| Arwen | then it should be "tmds, crt" | 23:44 |
| sMonk | nosrednaekim: thank you. | 23:44 |
| BanTam | even though its a crt monitor? | 23:44 |
| Arwen | yeah | 23:45 |
| BanTam | Ahh | 23:45 |
| sMonk | btw, when do you think it will be "safe" to re-install them? | 23:45 |
| Arwen | confusing, but the values actually reflect the port | 23:45 |
| BanTam | good lookin | 23:45 |
| BanTam | your RIGHT! it did mention that somewhere | 23:45 |
| nosrednaekim | sMonk» not sure... I think somone is already found a fix.. | 23:45 |
| dogma_ | its not possible.. what can i do to install kopete when I got it? | 23:45 |
| nosrednaekim | dogma_» whats not possible? | 23:45 |
| BanTam | Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS (TMDS), CRT" # LVDS = Laptop Screen, TMDS = DVI Port, CRT = VGA Port NOT MONITOR TYPE! | 23:46 |
| BanTam | Option "CRT2Hsync" "30-65" | 23:46 |
| sMonk | I found a site that tells you to dpkg -i an older file | 23:46 |
| BanTam | thats what the how to says | 23:46 |
| BanTam | Your good | 23:46 |
| Arwen | oh, and unless you uninstall fglrx, the "ati" driver will not run with 3d accel | 23:46 |
| flipstar | sMonk: you just have to find this particular file in the cache..then you can install via dpkg.. | 23:46 |
| BanTam | so who would i enter that? "MonitorLayout" "LVDS (TMDS), CRT" | 23:46 |
| dogma_ | because i dont understand on windows it's so easily to install a software here there is a lot of file and i dont know on what file can i click ton install.. | 23:46 |
| nosrednaekim | sMonk» that works if you still have the older file around | 23:47 |
| Arwen | "MonitorLayout" "TMDS,CRT" | 23:47 |
| Arwen | "MonitorLayout" "TMDS, CRT" * | 23:47 |
| BanTam | ok | 23:47 |
| Arwen | without the asterisk... | 23:47 |
| BanTam | so then i need to uninstall the ATI proprietary drivers? | 23:47 |
| nosrednaekim | dogma_» its even easier in Linux.... open up the add-remove packages | 23:47 |
| sMonk | true.. well, I'll go remove them pgks.. thanks guys | 23:47 |
| Arwen | BanTam, yeah. You know, fglrx has a similar dual-head mode... | 23:47 |
| BanTam | the second monitor is using the adapter so should i put CRT, TMDS or no? | 23:48 |
| Arwen | yeah, that would be it | 23:48 |
| Arwen | first, second | 23:48 |
| BanTam | k | 23:49 |
| BanTam | do i need to change the identifier name of the monitor or no? | 23:49 |
| Arwen | no | 23:49 |
| not|root | \/j #ubuntu-complaints | 23:49 |
| BanTam | k | 23:50 |
| BanTam | and the driver should be ATI not fglrx | 23:50 |
| jcgkffycs | I've been using kde4 for awhile, but it has a lot of bugs, and finally crashed completely. I cannot get it up again. But I got accustomed to the present windows feature.

| nosrednaekim | jcgkffycs» "compiz --replace && emerald --replace" | 23:51 |
| BanTam | ok im going to uninstall the ati prop driver now then give this a shot | 23:51 |
| BanTam | will i still have gl effects with the ati driver? | 23:51 |
| Arwen | yes, but somewhat slower | 23:51 |
| nosrednaekim | BanTam» depends on your hardware | 23:51 |
| BanTam | ok | 23:51 |
| Arwen | don't try motion blurring for one | 23:51 |
| nosrednaekim | ^_^ | 23:51 |
| Arwen | last time I tried that, I killed X :_) | 23:52 |
