| NickPresta | BluesKaj, lang-pack problems? I just updated :X | 00:00 |
| flipstar | NickPresta: only for those that have the canadian language pack installed | 00:01 |
| NickPresta | flipstar, like en-ca? | 00:01 |
| nosrednaekim | jcgkffycs» uhh you shouldbe getting borders.... no errors there | 00:01 |
| junaid | hi all | 00:01 |
| nosrednaekim | NickPresta» just -en and -base | 00:02 |
| junaid | how do i check which kubuntu i have on my machine | 00:02 |
| NickPresta | junaid, lsb_release -a | 00:02 |
| nosrednaekim | NickPresta» but it only seems to effect canucks... | 00:02 |
| jcgkffycs | I had borders, but i couldn't move any of the windows, then i restarted and the borders went away | 00:02 |
| BluesKaj | NickPresta, nosrednaekim , it seems to be much more than just lang-pack probs ... I tried the location as US on the last install but that din't make any diff | 00:02 |
| junaid | can any one refer me to a link where i find instructions on how to install compiz in kubuntu | 00:03 |
| NickPresta | What are the problems or symptoms? | 00:03 |
| NickPresta | !compiz | junaid | 00:03 |
| ubotu | junaid: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion | 00:03 |
| BluesKaj | !compiz | 00:03 |
| junaid | thanks | 00:04 |
| BluesKaj | NickPresta: updated X ...how? | 00:04 |
| NickPresta | BluesKaj, I just updated. :X = emoticon for "being silent" | 00:06 |
| matt_ | Ok, so I have a NTFS formatted hdd with about 60gb of files on it. Reformatting isn't exactly an option I willing to take, but Kubuntu will not let me change permissions for the drive. I have it mounted no problem, but I can't delete any files or edit/write to it. Any way I can fix this? | 00:07 |
| BluesKaj | NickPresta: login page and tty's aren't accessible on generic, recovery got a tty prompt but the launchpad fix didn't help me | 00:07 |
| jcgkffycs | nosrednaekim: since I know it did at one point work, is there a way to completely remove and reinstall it as if it were never installed? | 00:07 |
| ere4si | matt_, is ntfs-3g installed? | 00:07 |
| NickPresta | BluesKaj, okay. I won't logout or go to a tty until there is a fix :) | 00:07 |

| punkn00dlez | Lemme check. I think it is... | 00:08 |
| Arwen | Jahromeo, docks suck anyway | 00:08 |
| Jahromeo | snore make it go away :P | 00:08 |
| Jahromeo | i cant see what irc windows etc i have open | 00:08 |
| Jahromeo | this huge black bar at the bottom | 00:08 |
| BluesKaj | NickPresta: yeah, don't ..mkae sure you remove language-pack-en-base | 00:08 |
| alethes | I just did an update and now kde won't start and I get an error about being unable to contact kdeinit...is this a known issue? | 00:09 |
| BluesKaj | err make sure that you do remove it | 00:09 |
| BluesKaj | i think kubuntu developers otta be ashamed for sending down such a mess ...I think they owe a lotta ppl an apology for this mess | 00:10 |
| punkn00dlez | ere4si, no it is not currently installed. I did try and install ti however, it installed no problem,but when it was installed, I still couldn't do anything. BTW, I kicked Windows to the curb, so it's not even on my system at all...stupid thing crashed one too many times. | 00:10 |
| BluesKaj | punkn00dlez: don't be too quick to rid of windows if you want this latest offering from kubuntu ...be careful what you wish for | 00:12 |
| Jahromeo | how do i customize my taskbar to not get in the way of kiba -dock? | 00:12 |
| alethes | BluesKaj is that language-pack-en-base package related to my issue? | 00:12 |
| ere4si | punkn00dlez, how is it mounted - fstab? | 00:12 |
| BluesKaj | alethes: not sure ...it affects different systems in different ways | 00:12 |
| punkn00dlez | I assume so. I'm still pretty new at this ubuntu stuff. But I did take a looksie at it once and it said it was | 00:13 |
| alethes | I did see an error about a .po file, so it's possible | 00:13 |
| alethes | BluesKaj didn't fix it :/ | 00:14 |
| alethes | still can't start x now | 00:14 |
| kai | hello all | 00:14 |
| punkn00dlez | ere4si, yes, it seems to be mounted in fstab. this is the last line: /dev/hdb1 /hdb1 ntfs uid=1000,gid=1000,auto,rw,users 0 0 | 00:14 |
| punkn00dlez | The owner is set for me, instead of root. Still nothing. When I go into properties to allow read and write, it says it can't change it | 00:15 |
| kai | Im having a serious problem with me kDE | 00:16 |
| alethes | is anybody able to tell me what needs to happen so I can start X after the latest update? | 00:16 |
| ere4si | punkn00dlez, still think you need ntfs-3g from what I've read - I've never used ntfs or xp | 00:16 |
| BluesKaj | alethes: i'm in the middle od another install, but this time I'm not taking any upgrades ... gonna hide that adept notifier where the sun don't shine :) | 00:16 |

| BluesKaj | Daisuke_Ido: iset up the last install as location NYC and that din't make any diff | 00:17 |
| Daisuke_Ido | but what language pack? | 00:17 |
| Daisuke_Ido | en-CA? | 00:17 |
| BluesKaj | enus | 00:17 |
| alethes | honestly no idea | 00:17 |
| BluesKaj | repos enus | 00:17 |
| ere4si | punkn00dlez, did you see the ntfs-3g link? | 00:17 |
| alethes | I uninstalled the language-pack-en-base package and it didn't make a difference | 00:18 |
| punkn00dlez | Yes. I've installed it through Adept again. Do I need to reboot? | 00:18 |
| BluesKaj | i don'r use the en-ca lang pack , never have afaik | 00:18 |

| ridell | where can i looking for some drivers for printer hp deskjet 1020? | 01:12 |
| Arwen | icanhasadmin, wine will use them automagically | 01:12 |
| Arwen | install them to /usr/share/fonts/truetype | 01:12 |
| NickPresta | icanhasadmin, msttcorefonts is the package you want. | 01:12 |
| icanhasadmin | Thank you both, can i apt-get install msttcorefonts? | 01:13 |
| Arwen | and if you have a Windows install, you can do "ln -s <windows mount point>/WINDOWS/Fonts /usr/share/fonts/truetype/winfonts" | 01:13 |
| NickPresta | Arwen, I know. I am informing him that envy isn't supported and he should be thankful that you're helping him :) | 01:13 |
| Arwen | icanhasadmin, yes | 01:13 |
| BanTam | im extremly thankful, i never said or implied i wasnt | 01:13 |
| Arwen | I link the fonts from my Windows install, gets me all of em with no waste of disk space :-) | 01:13 |

| Tonren | How can I stop ~/.kde/share/config/gtkrc-2.0 from being rewritten every time I restart? | 01:14 |
| icanhasadmin | lol these days there's a lot of disk space to go around, I respect the efficiency tho ;) | 01:14 |
| Arwen | BanTam, back to the point, try with the corrected MetaModes line | 01:14 |
| BanTam | ok | 01:14 |
| flipstar | a lot? yes enough? no | 01:14 |
| BanTam | i fixed that, so i use the restricted drivers now? | 01:15 |
| Arwen | GAH, Hardy's firefox3 is NOT SHOWING IMAGES | 01:15 |
| Arwen | BanTam, noo. you don't want any restricted drivers at all if you're trying this. | 01:15 |
| beautifulsnow | Theres images of hardy already ? O.o | 01:15 |
| BanTam | ok | 01:15 |
| Arwen | beautifulsnow, 5 of em in fact | 01:15 |
| NickPresta | beautifulsnow, hardy is in Alpha 5 now, IIRC | 01:15 |
| beautifulsnow | I went on google images and put "hardy".... *crosses eyes in pain* | 01:16 |
| BanTam | let me try this brb | 01:17 |
| david_ | After a year (or a tad over) of using linux solely, I went back to windows just to play around and I could not stop with the sinister snicker...the whole time saying to myself " Oh yeah, I keep forgetting.. I cant do that with here". | 01:18 |
| flipstar | Arwen: is you sure that firefox wont show images in hardy ? | 01:19 |
| david_ | meant to say... "I cant do that here" | 01:19 |
| Arwen | flipstar, yeah. I think the bug is in xulrunner, but... | 01:19 |
| flipstar | then look at this :) http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/2669/ff3tg5.png | 01:19 |

| Arwen | seems to be video card specific for some god-unknown reason | 01:20 |
| BanTam | well | 01:20 |
| Arwen | there's even an open bug about it | 01:20 |
| BanTam | i got one monitor | 01:20 |
| BanTam | but the resolution is like 640x480 | 01:20 |
| Arwen | hmm, xorg.0.log pelase | 01:20 |
| Arwen | please* | 01:20 |
| BanTam | as it boted i had 2 monitors until i entered my pwrd then the 2nd monitor went out and the resolution chaned | 01:21 |
| Arwen | it worked until you logged in? | 01:21 |
| Arwen | were they spanned or mirrored? | 01:21 |
| Tonren | Anyone...? How can I stop ~/.kde/share/config/gtkrc-2.0 from being rewritten every time I restart? | 01:22 |
| Arwen | Tonren, chmod 000 ~/.kde/share/config/gtkc-2.0 will probably work | 01:22 |
| Arwen | now, whether or not that's what you want... | 01:22 |
| Tonren | Arwen: Yeah yeah... the car won't have trouble starting if you blow it up. It just won't exist. ;-P | 01:23 |
| BanTam | SOB it wont let me paste, when i paste nothing comes out | 01:23 |
| BanTam | DAMMIT | 01:23 |
| Tonren | Arwen: I'm mystified, here. All I want to do is remove ONE line in the file to make my GTK apps stop screwing up | 01:24 |
| Tonren | Arwen: But every time I restart, it's back, and there's no indication of what's populating it | 01:24 |
| Arwen | "While you're dying I'll be still alive / And when you're dead I will be still alive" w00t | 01:24 |
| Tonren | And there doesn't seem to be any documentation of it anywhere. I Googled it too. | 01:24 |
| Arwen | BanTam, o.O | 01:24 |
| Arwen | thank the lord the dualhead nonsense is fixed in Hardy :-P | 01:24 |
| flipstar | Tonren: did you taked a look at the file ? | 01:25 |
| flipstar | especially the first lines | 01:25 |
| BanTam | so how do i paste this now? | 01:25 |
| Arwen | BanTam, slowly? :-P | 01:25 |
| Tonren | flipstar: Of course! I couldn't very well edit it without taking a look. | 01:25 |
| BanTam | this has been a total headache | 01:25 |
| Arwen | BanTam, scroll through it and look for errors and stuff | 01:25 |
| crazy_bus | I need java to access blackboard but I'm not sure whether I should use the official plugins or icedtea. Which would people recommend? | 01:25 |
| flipstar | hah it just says what to do .. | 01:25 |
| Tonren | flipstar: It says what to do if you *don't* want KDE to override my GTK settings. | 01:26 |
| Tonren | flipstar: I do--I just don't want that damn line to show up. | 01:26 |
| BanTam | WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found | 01:26 |
| Arwen | that would be a problem... moving on | 01:27 |
| BanTam | i see a bunch of stuff | 01:27 |
| BanTam | too much to paste in here | 01:27 |
| flipstar | Tonren: so why dont you edit it and say kde to not override...? | 01:27 |
| Tonren | flipstar: Because I don't want to spend 3 hours tweaking it by hand to match my KDE theme. | 01:28 |
| Arwen | BanTam, eh. X-related issues are nightmares to solve over IRC :-\ | 01:28 |
| Tonren | Arwen: howcome? | 01:28 |
| Arwen | Tonren, massive logs... | 01:28 |
| Tonren | Ahh, true | 01:28 |
| Tonren | I usually open irssi in a screen window, and I have a command line script for sending files to pastebins | 01:29 |
| Arwen | BanTam, if you let me log in to your box, I might be able to help more, but alas :-P | 01:29 |
| BanTam | sure tell me how | 01:29 |
| BanTam | i got nothing to lose | 01:29 |
| BanTam | lol | 01:29 |
| Arwen | lolol | 01:29 |

| Arwen | but um... careful with strangers | 01:30 |
| BanTam | i hear ya | 01:31 |
| BanTam | like i said i got nothing on here right now im worried about losing so it dont matter | 01:31 |
| BanTam | so what am i doing here? i gotta install ssh? | 01:32 |
| flipstar | why dont you just open a query.. | 01:32 |
| Arwen | BanTam, basically, apt-get install openssh-server, make sure your router isn't in the way, and give me your login password (if you dare) | 01:32 |
| BanTam | ill pm it to you | 01:33 |

| prince_jammys | icanhasadmin: oh and like you said also in: /mnt/windows/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/comctl32.dll | 01:48 |
| icanhasadmin | ...well thank you. I don't think the forced !command was necesary :P | 01:49 |
| icanhasadmin | :D :D you guys are the best as always | 01:49 |
| icanhasadmin | I have an even dumber question... 2 partitions on my windows drive, i'm guessing they are different mnt points? and how do i tell them apart? | 01:50 |
| prince_jammys | icanhasadmin: how do you mean? there's two windows installations? | 01:51 |
| prince_jammys | icanhasadmin: each should have its own mount point | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | icanhasadmin, try the 'mount' command - see whats mounted where.. and look at the contents of the mountpoints | 01:51 |
| icanhasadmin | tyty | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | many windows machines have a 'recovery' partitin these days. | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | You really dont need it mounted under linux. :) | 01:51 |
| Arwen | ^^ - which is an evil waste of disk space | 01:51 |
| Arwen | delete it | 01:51 |
| david_ | how do I get my NVidia video card driver installed | 01:51 |
| prince_jammys | icanhasadmin: yes, "mount" by itself should show you what's mounted. sudo not necessary | 01:51 |
| icanhasadmin | it says /dev/sda1 on /media/sda1.. why are there 2 points? | 01:52 |
| Dr_willis_ | Arwen, seen that break a few windows machines for my friends. :) | 01:52 |
| Dr_willis_ | icanhasadmin, thats ONE mount point. | 01:52 |
| Arwen | o.O | 01:52 |
| icanhasadmin | lol@arwins discspace saving ocd | 01:52 |
| prince_jammys | icanhasadmin: there aren't. /media/sda1 is the mount point /dev/blah is the device | 01:52 |
| icanhasadmin | thank you | 01:52 |
| Dr_willis_ | !mount | 01:52 |

| icanhasadmin | sorry i get confused. Once you tell me tho i'm ok for life ;) | 01:52 |
| icanhasadmin | is it normal for kubuntu to mount windows in /media? | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis_ | learning how linux mounts filesystes,.... Is one of the top 10 things to learn.. on yoyur path to Linux-Leetness. :) | 01:53 |
| prince_jammys | icanhasadmin: yes, that's standard in ubuntu | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis_ | icanhasadmin, every thing normally gets mounted in /media/SOMTHING | 01:53 |

| draik | No command arguments supplied! | 01:54 |
| prince_jammys | icanhasadmin: /media is how ubuntu does it. i put mine on /mnt some time ago. you can mount wherever you want | 01:54 |

| flipstar | draik: as it says you have to supply an command | 01:54 |
| prince_jammys | draik: paste what you typed | 01:55 |
| draik | Dr_willis_: flipstar: I haven't. This is a popup message when I login to my account. | 01:55 |

| prince_jammys | gotcha | 01:55 |

| flipstar | "" | 02:01 |
| Alethes | icanhasadmin: you can quote it like flipstar said or you can just tab complete it | 02:02 |
| Dr_willis_ | icanhasadmin, quote the whole name/path or escape the space. | 02:02 |
| Dr_willis_ | It can get TRICKY at times. :) | 02:02 |
| icanhasadmin | kk | 02:02 |
| Dr_willis_ | cd 'Program Files' | 02:02 |
| icanhasadmin | i'll figure out on my own what tab complete means ;) | 02:02 |
| Alethes | if you start typing the name and hit tab, it'll complete it | 02:02 |
| icanhasadmin | gotcha | 02:02 |
| icanhasadmin | like usernames in irc | 02:02 |
| icanhasadmin | lol | 02:02 |
| Alethes | yep | 02:02 |
| Dr_willis_ | icanhasadmin, you may want to track down a bash beginners guide or 2 :) and do some readng | 02:02 |
| Dr_willis_ | !tab | 02:02 |
| ubotu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 02:02 |
| flipstar | or just use 'blah \ blah' | 02:02 |
| icanhasadmin | I find it amusing how all the 'tricks' all this software has I used to use on windows, actually seems to be built based on common linux commands | 02:03 |

| Strangelet | I accidentally removed everything on my KDE panel, now, I am trying to move things back into place, but applets such as the 'system tray' and 'taskbar' cannot seem to be moved. How do I move them? | 02:05 |
| draik_ | Dr_willis_: There is nothing in Autostart | 02:05 |
| === draik_ is now known as draik | ||
| flipstar | draik_: probably a restore from last session | 02:06 |
| flipstar | Strangelet: everything in kicker can be moved | 02:07 |
| Strangelet | flipstar: Understood, though I do not know how some things can be moved, i.e. taskbar | 02:07 |
| Alethes | BluesKaj: still not fixed? | 02:07 |
| tcm_ | Strangelet: I've had same problem few weeks ago. I solved it by adding (how it should be on the panel) right to lef | 02:08 |
| Dr_willis_ | draik, theres a kde tool that helps ya manage the sessions also i think. | 02:08 |
| Strangelet | tcm_: ehh, I think the developers should know about this. :p | 02:09 |
| icanhasadmin | So I'm still up in there air between gnone and kde.. anyone want to win me over on KDE? I just need some convincing | 02:09 |
| prince_jammys | Strangelet: first unlock the panel, then you have to mouse over the stuff until you see a little arrow. when you see it, grab it and move it, it's pretty annoyinh | 02:09 |
| === john_ is now known as kl3v3r | ||
| BluesKaj | i removed them , Alethes... now comes the test ..gonna reconfigure my nonexistent xorg file , cuz i gotta have DRI and 3D for google earth ..BBL | 02:09 |
| Strangelet | prince_jammys: Umm, where should I mouse over for the taskbar? | 02:10 |
| Dr_willis_ | icanhasadmin, use them both.. and see. | 02:10 |
| draik | flipstar: How do I find it? | 02:11 |
| Dr_willis_ | I set up the wife with Gnome, I tend to use kde. | 02:11 |
| Alethes | icanhasadmin: I used gnome for years and I use kde now | 02:11 |
| draik | Dr_willis_: Do you know the app? | 02:11 |
| flipstar | no this aint good to use both.. | 02:11 |
| Dr_willis_ | draik, use the package manager and search - i forget its name | 02:11 |
| prince_jammys | Strangelet: on the left edge | 02:11 |
| icanhasadmin | I am using them both :) very different. I just.. I don't know. Undecided :P | 02:11 |
| Strangelet | prince_jammys: Thanks! I will start mousing around now. :P | 02:11 |
| Dr_willis_ | very different? Hmm.. never noticed. | 02:11 |
| Dr_willis_ | Heh | 02:11 |
| flipstar | draik: if this happend the first time you can ignore it..if you dont use kdesu when exiting the current session it wont occure in the next one | 02:11 |
| Alethes | icanhasadmin: I can give you one good reason -- the developers are not as stubborn :D | 02:12 |
| Alethes | the attitude of the devs for kde is totally different than that of the gnome devs from my experience | 02:12 |
| Dr_willis_ | one reason.. KDE4 | 02:12 |
| Dr_willis_ | :) | 02:12 |
| icanhasadmin | Alethes: see that's what i'm talking about! lol | 02:12 |
| Alethes | or at least 4.1 haha | 02:12 |
| Strangelet | prince_jammys: can't find it. :( | 02:13 |
| prince_jammys | Strangelet: it can be hard. an alternative is to see if you can delete it and add it back | 02:13 |
| Alethes | gnome has a nice clean look, but the backend is pretty shoddy | 02:13 |
| Alethes | and kde can be made to look like gnome | 02:13 |
| prince_jammys | Strangelet: the panel is unlocked, right? | 02:13 |
| Strangelet | prince_jammys, yassir | 02:13 |
| icanhasadmin | Any hope for me getting compiz/beryl or something pretty like that to run on an ati xpress laptop card? i don't want a walk through, just a yes or no :) | 02:14 |
| Alethes | icanhasadmin: kde can do everything gnome can do and more. gnome is quite a bit behind as far as features go. | 02:14 |
| prince_jammys | Strangelet: i just tried it.. the little vertical bar and the arrow popped up on the far left of the taskbar | 02:14 |
| draik | Dr_willis_: I don't use it for shutting down. How about I use it this time? | 02:15 |
| draik | Dr_willis_: kdesudo -u root halt will that work? | 02:16 |
| icanhasadmin | Alethes: Yeah, I liked the whole "find a new desktop background" thing. Right in the menu, easy to find, seemed updated and had cool options | 02:16 |
| Strangelet | prince_jammys: No avail. :( | 02:16 |
| === kvl3vr4 is now known as francisco | ||
| Dr_willis_ | draik, theres no need to use kdesu for non-gui apps | 02:16 |
| Dr_willis_ | sudo halt | 02:16 |
| Dr_willis_ | Or cheat like i do . and make it where the user can use the halt/shutdown command. no sudo needed | 02:17 |
| prince_jammys | Strangelet: weird. it's working over here. | 02:17 |
| flipstar | you dont need to cheat for that..just use kmenu :=) | 02:17 |
| Dr_willis_ | i got the suid bit set on halt. :) | 02:18 |
| Dr_willis_ | at one time i had a user named 'halt' that had no password. and the default shell was halt. | 02:19 |
| Dr_willis_ | so 'halt' at LOGIN: would halt the box. :) | 02:19 |
| flipstar | haha | 02:19 |
| Alethes | haha | 02:20 |
| Alethes | man, you know that'd be a weird hack if you could just automatically turn every failed login into a ln to a command | 02:20 |
| Alethes | so everything just worked haha | 02:20 |
| Dr_willis_ | Alethes, Hmm.. Proberly doable. :) | 02:21 |
| Alethes | yeah, but it's a horrible idea :D | 02:21 |
| icanhasadmin | that was all really funny. | 02:21 |

| BluesKaj | Arwen: i have an ati x200G onboard and the restricted driver works well . even tvtime | 02:39 |

| tekteen | pat_: bcm43xx is the wifi driver | 03:06 |
| tekteen | they are unrelated | 03:06 |

| pat_ | tekteen: I understand that, and I believe I caused this because I was trying to get my wifi working. Now my new prob is that I cannot boot into the gui sinced I caused this problem | 03:06 |

| nosrednaekim | pat_» it may happen every time you update, i'm not sure | 03:12 |

| noodles12 | AgentZ86: kubuntu is just ubuntu with KDE instead of gnome. | 03:28 |
| jumpkick | my kubuntu desktop went blank (no desktop icons, but taskbar still), so I restarted X, now when I try to login to the desktop again from KDM, I get to "initializing system services", then X crashes and I'm back to KDM | 03:30 |
| jumpkick | is there some way I can troubleshoot this? | 03:30 |
| mrunagi | kubuntu doesnt correct my spelling anymore | 03:31 |
| AgentZ86 | noodles12: well, I'm not sure really I want to run the java app from www.fxcm.com and it's actually working, but when I open a position in my trade I can't set stops/limits, and someone told me they are using Kubuntu and they don't have a problem, so I wanted to test for myself. I don't know why it would be different, or why I can't use all the features of this trading platform, but I figured I would try it | 03:31 |
| mrunagi | how can i turn that back on | 03:31 |
| noodles12 | jumpkick: i'd check in /var/log/syslog & /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 03:31 |
| jumpkick | noodles12: thanks I'll tail both those and see what happens | 03:32 |
| pat_ | jumpkick: I just had that prob and nosrednaekim solved it for me: uninstall lang packs doing this from a term: sudo apt-get remove language-pack-kde-en language-pack-kde-base | 03:32 |
| noodles12 | AgentZ86: if it works fine in kubuntu just "sudo apt-get install kubuntu" then log out. and change the session to kde and log back in. u should then be in "kubuntu" and try your ap | 03:33 |
| AgentZ86 | noodles12: basically I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy and all works very well, however this java start app I thought worked, but after further review I noticed I could not set my stop/limit orders, the button just does not work. But the close position button does work. | 03:33 |
| jumpkick | pat_: I noticed those lang packs were updated and xine was uninstalled when I first logged in today | 03:34 |
| jumpkick | I'll give that a shot | 03:34 |
| AgentZ86 | noodles12: thanks, but why would kubuntu be any different for this java app ? | 03:34 |
| pat_ | same thing for me, that's when my probs started | 03:34 |
| nosrednaekim | jumpkick» yup... you canucks are getting hit hard this week:) | 03:34 |
| AgentZ86 | I'll try it anyhow I have to see | 03:34 |
| noodles12 | AgentZ86: I honestly have no idea on that issue. just trying ot save you from installing kubuntu on dif. partition. My guess is maybe something with the kdelibs or different default preferences in kubuntu | 03:34 |
| pat_ | I had my lang pack set to en-ca (canada), I reinstalled them, set everything to en-us and it all appears to work fine now | 03:34 |
| AgentZ86 | and sudo apt-get install kubuntu, won't harm my current Ubuntu installation ? | 03:35 |
| pat_ | nosrednaekim: thanks again, this was my last stop before reinstalling. You saved me a couple of hours for sure :) | 03:35 |
| nosrednaekim | pat_» you are welcome....alot of people have been reinstalling.. and THEN coming here | 03:36 |
| AgentZ86 | noodles12: and sudo apt-get install kubuntu, won't harm my current Ubuntu installation ? | 03:36 |
| nosrednaekim | AgentZ86» nope... and its "kubuntu-desktop" | 03:36 |
| noodles12 | AgentZ86: kubuntu-desktop | 03:36 |
| noodles12 | nvm he beat me | 03:36 |
| AgentZ86 | oh, ok thanks, | 03:36 |
| noodles12 | AgentZ86: and no it won't. | 03:36 |
| AgentZ86 | can I use the applications/add remove menu for that also ? | 03:36 |
| jumpkick | nosrednaekim - yeah I'm a Canadian... :D ... removing language-pack-kde-en has resolved it | 03:37 |
| pat_ | nosrednaekim: if anyone asks in the future, I've tested several ways now, it appears that if I select en-us and then upgrade, I'm not having those probs anymore. Since there isn't any difference between canada and the usa really, it's no big deal till they get this fixed | 03:37 |
| AgentZ86 | or synaptic ? or just apt-get is the best ? | 03:37 |
| jumpkick | thanks everybody | 03:37 |
| nosrednaekim | pat_» yeah... thats probably best... or just switch to a US mirror | 03:37 |
| noodles12 | AgentZ86: i think all the above. though kubuntu uses adept_manager instead of synaptic. you might already have it since you had ubuntu installed first. | 03:37 |

| shaffy | what's going on though? | 03:41 |
| nosrednaekim | the lang-pack is screwed up | 03:41 |
| shaffy | but why just the canucks? | 03:41 |
| jumpkick | the lang-pack update nuked us | 03:41 |
| noodles12 | kubuntu officially stopped supporting canadians | 03:41 |
| shaffy | lol | 03:42 |
| shaffy | yeah | 03:42 |
| jumpkick | bitterness over the dollar going to $1.01 is my bet | 03:42 |
| pat_ | shaffy: after you do that, reinstall it, switch everything to en-us, upgrade, and no more problems (other than the fact you have to suffer americans dreadful spelling errors, lol) | 03:42 |
| shaffy | pat_: they will fix it eventually, though? | 03:43 |
| jumpkick | that and those US McDonald's dollar menu ads | 03:43 |
| nosrednaekim | shaffy» probably. | 03:43 |
| pat_ | shaffy: I'm sure they will, nobody wants to suffer canadians fury :P | 03:43 |
| shaffy | lol yeah | 03:43 |
| nosrednaekim | shaffy» its confirmed and they are working on it... BTW..... if you look at the error, its something about plurals or something ;) | 03:43 |
| jumpkick | shaffy: sudo apt-get remove language-pack-kde-en | 03:43 |
| jumpkick | fixed it for me | 03:43 |
| jumpkick | if you can get to a shell to do it | 03:44 |
| shaffy | okay.. so language-pack-kde-base does not need to be removed then? | 03:44 |
| jumpkick | didn't exist on my system | 03:44 |
| nosrednaekim | shaffy» it may..not sure. | 03:44 |
| nosrednaekim | shaffy» try without | 03:44 |
| AgentZ86 | installing kubuntu-desktop now via synaptic, and all dependencies which synaptic automatically selected fingers crossed | 03:44 |
| shaffy | okay, thanks everyone. much appreciated.. i knew something was up. | 03:44 |
| nosrednaekim | AgentZ86» BTW... are you canadian? | 03:45 |
| AgentZ86 | no | 03:45 |
| nosrednaekim | AgentZ86» awesome... you shouldn't have any problems then | 03:45 |
| noodles12 | lol | 03:45 |
| AgentZ86 | thanks | 03:45 |
| mot | how do i reconfigure xorg.conf? | 03:45 |
| shaffy | okay, later everyone. thx. i'll be back in a few mins. peace. | 03:45 |
| jumpkick | lol | 03:46 |
| nosrednaekim | mot» "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" what is your problem? | 03:46 |
| BluesKaj | language-pack-kde-base must be removed as well | 03:46 |
| BluesKaj | we canadians gotta stick together ... someone owes us an apology for this mess :) | 03:47 |
| jumpkick | we need a metapackage... so we can "sudo apt-get install help-canadians" | 03:47 |
| AgentZ86 | crap it's asking for my default display manager ? I don't know what it is ? | 03:48 |
| Pici | jumpkick: eh? | 03:48 |
| jumpkick | Pici: to automatically remove the lang packs | 03:48 |
| nosrednaekim | AgentZ86» select gdm | 03:48 |
| jumpkick | eh | 03:48 |
| AgentZ86 | thanks | 03:48 |
| jumpkick | kdm | 03:48 |
| Pici | :p | 03:48 |
| jumpkick | gdm is gnome | 03:48 |
| jumpkick | the enemy! | 03:48 |
| AgentZ86 | oh crap | 03:49 |
| jumpkick | :P | 03:49 |
| Strangelet | I accidentally removed everything on my KDE panel, now, I am trying to move things back into place, but applets such as the 'system tray' and 'taskbar' cannot seem to be moved. How do I move them? | 03:49 |
| nosrednaekim | jumpkick» but he is using ubuntu... | 03:49 |
| AgentZ86 | I already have ubuntu installed so I want the kdm darn | 03:49 |
| jumpkick | it actually doesn't matter | 03:49 |
| nosrednaekim | AgentZ86» it doesn't matter | 03:49 |
| jumpkick | they both will work fine | 03:49 |
| AgentZ86 | where can I change it after the install finishes | 03:49 |
| AgentZ86 | ? | 03:49 |
| jumpkick | ^^ - what he said | 03:49 |
| nosrednaekim | AgentZ86» "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm" | 03:50 |
| noodles12 | AgentZ86: just log out. change session to kde. and log back in | 03:50 |
| nosrednaekim | noodles12» I think he means the display manager | 03:50 |
| noodles12 | oh.. my bad | 03:50 |
| mrnotproper | :q | 03:50 |
| mrnotproper | ohh sorry.. | 03:50 |
| shaffy | okay, i'm back. so where do i change the language setting so i can do an update without my comp crashing? | 03:51 |
| noodles12 | shouldn't he keep it as gdm? since he is just trying kubuntu . he already has ubuntu installed? | 03:51 |
| AgentZ86 | yep when synaptic got to a point it asked which display manager I wanted kdm or gdm for default | 03:51 |
| shaffy | change it to american english i'm guessing? | 03:51 |
| nosrednaekim | shaffy» ya.... REAL english ;) | 03:51 |
| shaffy | hehe | 03:51 |
| nosrednaekim | shaffy» british english might actually be closer though | 03:51 |
| jumpkick | non-english english | 03:52 |
| jcgkffycs | I there a global shortcut key combination toswitch desktops? | 03:52 |
| nosrednaekim | jcgkffycs» no, you can set one though | 03:52 |
| jcgkffycs | how? I have looked through all the config dialogues. | 03:52 |
| Peng | Ok. I'd like to install Kubuntu on a system with two hard drives in RAID 1, with partitions with some data on them. Can I reuse the partitions without losing data? | 03:52 |
| AgentZ86 | so I wanted kdm ?? display manager right ? | 03:53 |
| nosrednaekim | AgentZ86» doesn't matter. | 03:53 |
| AgentZ86 | once install completes I can "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm ? | 03:53 |
| noodles12 | AgentZ86: i don't think it | 03:53 |
| AgentZ86 | doesn't matter, ok | 03:53 |
| nosrednaekim | Peng» yes, I think you can | 03:53 |
| BluesKaj | brit english and canadian english have the *our spellings in common | 03:54 |
| jumpkick | my bet is it would be an update-alternatives | 03:54 |
| AgentZ86 | I was just thinking to stay with the most pure kde as I can in my test of this java app. I want to see the difference between how it works with Ubuntu vs Kubuntu | 03:54 |
| jumpkick | AgentZ86: testing a java app doesn't matter | 03:54 |
| jumpkick | (I'm a java programmer @ work) | 03:54 |
| Peng | nosrednaekim: One thing is, the installer seems to be aware of the disk (/dev/sd*) devices, not the RAID devices.. | 03:55 |
| jumpkick | long as they both launch the KDE desktop the are the same | 03:55 |
| nosrednaekim | Peng» yes, I think you have to use the alternate installer to correctly set up the RAID | 03:55 |
| === Arwen is now known as anon32 | ||
| AgentZ86 | Jumpkick thats what I thought, but I'm missing a feature of an app. on my Ubuntu where someone else is using Kubuntu and has no problem, and I dont' know why so I figured I would try the Kubuntu also to see if there was any difference on my end | 03:55 |
| nosrednaekim | !raid | 03:55 |
| ubotu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 03:55 |
| jumpkick | both gdm and kdm esseentially hand-off X to kwin, etc | 03:55 |
| Peng | nosrednaekim: The alternate installer? As in when booting, not "Start and install Kubuntu"? | 03:56 |
| nosrednaekim | Peng» another whole CD | 03:56 |
| nosrednaekim | !alternate | 03:56 |
| ubotu | The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 03:56 |
| adred | hello, why is it that theres no compiz icon after i installed it. i followed the instructions in help.kubuntu but its not working | 03:56 |
| jumpkick | AgentZ86: dependancies are a bit different for gnome desktop (gtk based) vs. kde desktop (qt-based) | 03:56 |
| Peng | nosrednaekim: I have the DVD, so it should have it. One boot entry is "alternate installer" or something. | 03:57 |
| nosrednaekim | adred» there IS no compiz icon. | 03:57 |
| Peng | nosrednaekim: Is the alternate installer a CLI? | 03:57 |
| nosrednaekim | Peng» ah... yeah thats probably it | 03:57 |
| jumpkick | AgentZ86: you might consider that you will still have the gnome dependancies if you are installing kde in addtion to gnome | 03:57 |
| adred | ok, but i tried to run through run command by typing ccsm, it didn't load up | 03:58 |
| jumpkick | for a true test you probably want to do a clean install of kubuntu (no gnome libs) inside a VM | 03:58 |
| AgentZ86 | thats something I did consider that is why I was considering to install on a separate partition to try my test, but I really don't understand why a java app would work on Kubuntu and not on Ubuntu | 03:58 |
| Peng | Right, it's a CLI... | 03:58 |
| noodles12 | jumpkick: or he could install kubuntu-desktop. then go into kubuntu and remove ubuntu-destkop ? | 03:58 |
| adred | so how do i access compiz then? | 03:59 |
| nosrednaekim | adred» use "compiz --replace" | 03:59 |
| AgentZ86 | I don't want to mess up my Ubuntu though I use this thing for work everyday | 03:59 |
| adred | i did it already.. | 03:59 |
| noodles12 | AgentZ86: i missed a bit of the chat. are you in kubuntu and tried the app? | 03:59 |
| jumpkick | noodles12: he could but he doesn't want to mess up his gnome desktop | 03:59 |
| AgentZ86 | no I'm in Ubuntu | 03:59 |
| jumpkick | AgentZ86: install vmware-server, put a kubuntu image in a vm and test | 04:00 |
| AgentZ86 | Ubuntu, the app works, but there is like one right click feature with a menu that has one menu item disabled | 04:00 |
| jumpkick | delete VM when done | 04:00 |
| jumpkick | oh | 04:00 |
| AgentZ86 | I right click and I should be able to select stop/limit or close, and only the close button works in the trading platform | 04:00 |
| jumpkick | AgentZ86: eclipse-trader or something? | 04:01 |
| AgentZ86 | Someone told me they use Kubuntu and the app works perfect, and the right click menu items work well, so I figured I try something with Kubuntu to see for myself | 04:01 |
| jumpkick | sounds fishy | 04:02 |
| AgentZ86 | it's www.fxcm.com it's their java platform | 04:02 |
| jumpkick | maybe you don't have permission or maybe the channel doesn't support it | 04:02 |
| jumpkick | or maybe time of day prevents it | 04:02 |
| BluesKaj | ok gents , after removing those language packs , evertime i run an install I get this :perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:LANGUAGE = (unset),:LC_ALL = (unset),LANG = "en_CA.UTF-8". perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C")....I't's prolly just unimportant but zi'd still like to get rid of the warnings . ...any suggestions ? | 04:02 |
| adred | the instructions say, KMenu->Settings-> CompizConfig...but i couldn't' find "CompizConfig icon nor link in the KMenu...:( | 04:02 |
| AgentZ86 | but it says for apple users standalone platform or something, but it seems to all work but that feature, | 04:03 |
| jumpkick | BluesKaj: ignore it | 04:03 |
| AgentZ86 | I'm guessing i have to restart to open kubuntu desktop huh ? | 04:03 |
| nosrednaekim | BluesKaj» install a us lang pack | 04:03 |
| prince_jammys | adred: try typing in terminal::: ccsm | 04:04 |
| AgentZ86 | be back after test | 04:04 |
| jumpkick | AgentZ86: log out / login or xnest | 04:04 |
| AgentZ86 | thanks | 04:04 |
| BluesKaj | the US lang pack didn't work the previous install , nosrednaekim | 04:04 |
| jumpkick | xnest is how I tested kde4 | 04:04 |
| adred | it says ccsm is not currently installed | 04:04 |
| nosrednaekim | BluesKaj»^_^ | 04:05 |
| BluesKaj | it was broken too | 04:05 |

| prince_jammys | adred: try:: compiz --replace | 04:05 |
| noodles12 | Strangelet: there should mea small arrow towards buttom left of the applet. right click there to move | 04:05 |

| nosrednaekim | adred» you downloaded it off the ATI website? | 04:10 |
| oloughlin75 | I bet he apt-get'ed it | 04:10 |
| adred | no, i just stumbled on certain forum thread discussing about How To install ati drivers. i just followed whats written there | 04:11 |
| noodles12 | AgentZ86: u in kubuntu now? how'd it go? | 04:11 |
| AgentZ86 | hmm, It said on reboot I was using Kubuntu but I saw no selection for Gnome or KDE it just went to Kbuntu automatically ? | 04:11 |
| nosrednaekim | adred» ohhhh | 04:11 |
| nosrednaekim | bye guys | 04:11 |
| adred | something has gone wrong? | 04:11 |
| noodles12 | AgentZ86: you change the session at the login screen to change between the two | 04:11 |
| AgentZ86 | I can't tell anything really different desktop appears the same, still looks like Gnome | 04:12 |
| AgentZ86 | I didn't see a selection to change anything I'll try again | 04:12 |
| adred | should i redo it? maybe you a better idea on how to install it | 04:12 |
| adred | have | 04:12 |
| adred | sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx --> that's the one i used to install the ati driver | 04:16 |

| r240 | 1) i have no sound. a quick look shows that soundblaster is detected, it just seems like the driver/module is not loaded for some reason. 2) i have no video either. it seems i have to install extra (forget what it's called now, restricted extra maybe?) package for codecs which apparently includes java which i am not sure if i want. I would probably want support for rm, mpg and the like as well. I have installed flash nonfree so in | 04:48 |
| r240 | ternet streaming is fine. 3) i have firefox 2 but for some reason, every time i download something, the download manager will only allow me to save to root,home or desktop, none of my other two partitions are listed. 4) i need support to play mp3 as well | 04:48 |
| mkquist | r240: if u have no video and audio r u booting to shell? | 04:49 |
| r240 | i am not even sure what that means -_- | 04:49 |
| r240 | <--- total newb :/ | 04:49 |
| mkquist | well, u said u have no sound and u have no video... | 04:50 |
| r240 | i can't play video and i have no sound | 04:50 |
| mkquist | r240: ahh.. ic now.. diff, yes youll need restricted see !medibuntu for that | 04:50 |
| mkquist | !medibuntu | 04:50 |
| ubotu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 04:50 |
| r240 | i have onboard sound as mobo beeps when i over-backspace in xchat | 04:50 |
| r240 | i can grab restricted from adept yest? | 04:51 |
| AgentZ86 | java app no different, in kde, I wonder why that one person can use it in Kubuntu, it's probably nothing to do with it, and more likely something to do with my java install or something | 04:51 |
| mkquist | r240: for sound i find this post useful - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 | 04:51 |
| mkquist | r240: yes, that side will tell you how | 04:51 |
| AgentZ86 | well, thanks for the help all, chat at ya tomorrow | 04:51 |
| mkquist | r240: the medibuntu one that is | 04:52 |
| r240 | so you know, i have read several pages on my sound problem already and i have only a headache to show. then again, i am a total newb @_@ | 04:52 |

| regeya | heh, every new computer I've had since '98, I've had to fight with sound problems on (except the ones where I say 'to heck with this, my old sound card worked!' and throw that'un in) | 04:56 |
| BanTam | goto /etc/ndiswrapper and delete the folder that has your drivers name on it | 04:56 |
| Konner | It says access denied i tried that | 04:56 |
| BanTam | and make sure all the files for your driver are available before you do it again | 04:56 |
| r240 | the thing is my sound worked under v6 immediately after install | 04:57 |
| Konner | i put all the files in. | 04:57 |
| r240 | 7.1 not so lucky :/ | 04:57 |
| BanTam | you did sudo rm /etc/ndiswrapper/drivername? | 04:57 |
| r240 | anyways, anyone can explain step 3 please? | 04:57 |
| BanTam | you gotta do it as root | 04:57 |
| Konner | oh. | 04:57 |
| BanTam | :) | 04:57 |
| regeya | well, r240 you can probably find your sound card under kinfocenter (under K menu -> system) it'll likely be listed under pci | 04:58 |
| noodles12 | r240: if i'm not mistaken. step 3 is jus tto go that site and look for chipset manufacturer of your card? | 04:58 |
| regeya | that's essentially equiv. to running 'lspci' from the command line | 04:58 |
| r240 | i know it's silly but i have no idea how to look for my chipset | 04:58 |
| noodles12 | r240: or someting close to what you got from typing "lspci -v" in the konsole | 04:58 |
| r240 | i can find my sound card but step 3 suggests i need to know the driver name? | 04:59 |
| r240 | which i can't find | 04:59 |
| regeya | r240: and if you don't find it in kinfocenter or via lspci, if you still have windows installed, you can likely find it under the control panel | 04:59 |
| r240 | apparently i have type 10 alsa emulation for my driver? | 05:00 |
| regeya | r240: lspci or kinfocenter will give you a list of the hardware on the pci bus. unless you're using usb audio or something, that's where your sound card is likely to be, on the pci bus. if you look for 'sound' or 'audio' or something similar, you can usually get a clue as to what chipset you have | 05:00 |
| r240 | that's the thing, what is chipset? | 05:00 |
| r240 | i have a soundblaster live 5.1 | 05:00 |
| r240 | under kinfocenter, it lists a lot of info that i don't understand -_- | 05:01 |
| regeya | ok...hey, I think that's what I have. | 05:01 |
| r240 | well then! show me what you know! | 05:01 |
| regeya | 00:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a) <- yep | 05:01 |
| regeya | so that's... | 05:01 |
| r240 | where are you reading that? | 05:01 |
| regeya | emu10k1 | 05:02 |
| regeya | r240: lspci | 05:02 |
| regeya | from the konsole | 05:02 |
| r240 | ah, i am in kinfocenter | 05:02 |
| r240 | let me get to konsole | 05:02 |
| regeya | in my case, my chipset is emu10k1 | 05:02 |
| regeya | it's also listed in kinfocenter | 05:02 |
| regeya | the pci tab is just the output of lspci, I think | 05:02 |
| r240 | where mine say emul10kl, it's listed under synth devices | 05:03 |
| regeya | anyways, I wonder what your chipset is; my card was just supported pretty much out of the box | 05:03 |
| Konner | I couldnt remove it | 05:03 |
| Konner | it says its a directory | 05:03 |
| r240 | ugh. it did for 6 but not for 7.1 | 05:03 |
| BanTam | ok try this | 05:03 |
| BanTam | sudo ndiswrapper -e <drivername.inf> | 05:04 |
| Konner | I removed the .inf | 05:04 |
| Konner | but i cant reemove the directory | 05:04 |
| Konner | so it cant install | 05:04 |
| r240 | so my chipset is emu10kl? | 05:04 |
| BanTam | try that command | 05:04 |
| Konner | k | 05:04 |
| r240 | it says module emu10kl is not found | 05:06 |
| r240 | but that's what's showing under lspci | 05:06 |
| crimsun_ | snd-emu10k1 | 05:07 |
| crimsun_ | emu10k1 is the OSS/Free's name. | 05:08 |
| r240 | i typed sudo modprobe snd-emu10kl per step 4 | 05:09 |
| r240 | it gave me fatal: module not found | 05:09 |
| crimsun_ | r240: it's not an 'el' | 05:16 |
| crimsun_ | r240: it's a 'one' | 05:16 |
| Konner | Ahh | 05:17 |
| Konner | I got the drivers and stuff installed | 05:17 |
| BanTam | ok | 05:17 |
| Konner | but the manual configuration doesnt work | 05:17 |
| Konner | i have it on that | 05:17 |
| r240 | eee emmmmm uuuuuuuuu one zero kay ellll right? | 05:17 |
| Konner | i cant choose my network | 05:17 |
| Konner | :( | 05:17 |
| BanTam | what happens when you right click on the network manager? | 05:17 |
| Konner | It says wired | 05:17 |
| Konner | and below for wireless it says manual | 05:17 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | one zero kay one | 05:18 |
| r240 | oh | 05:18 |
| crimsun_ | r240: you seem to have missed my memo. not l as in 'el' but 1 as in 'one'. | 05:18 |
| BanTam | hmm | 05:18 |
| Konner | i need to turn off manual configureation | 05:18 |
| BanTam | did you try reboting after you install the drivers? | 05:18 |
| Konner | It worldnt work | 05:18 |
| Konner | because of manual configureation | 05:18 |
| Konner | i need to turn that off | 05:19 |
| hvgotcodes | i just installed kde4 on regular ubuntu -- effects like shadows/translucency don't work -- is this a known issue or did i bork something up? | 05:19 |
| r240 | hmm | 05:19 |
| r240 | what should i expect or do i move on to step 5? | 05:19 |
| r240 | let me try | 05:19 |
| BanTam | you need to right clikc then go into options | 05:19 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | hvgotcodes: the guys in #kubuntu-kde4 might have better luck helping you figure that out | 05:20 |
| hvgotcodes | thankyou | 05:20 |
| BanTam | and check off start knetmanager automatcially at startup | 05:20 |
| Konner | What else after that | 05:20 |
| Konner | ok | 05:20 |
| Konner | after that? | 05:20 |
| BanTam | that should do it | 05:20 |
| Konner | ok | 05:20 |
| Konner | brb | 05:20 |
| BanTam | k | 05:20 |
| r240 | um | 05:21 |
| r240 | what do i do after i type: sudo nano /etc/modules snd-emu10k1 ? | 05:22 |
| r240 | it's giving me a weird menu thingy | 05:22 |
| r240 | ooops | 05:23 |
| r240 | i add snd-emu10k1 beneath fuse and lp? | 05:24 |
| regeya | whoops, r240, was gone; wife is doing thesis, I made the mistake of setting up a postgres8.2 db with oobase as the frontend...heh | 05:24 |
| * regeya has two different tech support hats on right now :-> | 05:24 | |
| r240 | it's ok, others have been helpful | 05:25 |
| regeya | eeeexcellent | 05:25 |
| r240 | how do i exit module? should i save before i exit? | 05:25 |
| * regeya realizes he had intended to go to bed nearly two hours ago...good night, all... | 05:26 | |
| Konner | uhh | 05:31 |
| BanTam | whats wrong? | 05:32 |
| Konner | it didnt disable manual configuration | 05:32 |
| BanTam | lol | 05:32 |
| Konner | still says Manual | 05:32 |
| BanTam | ok | 05:32 |
| BanTam | right click on it | 05:33 |
| BanTam | the go into manual configuration | 05:33 |
| r240 | help. how do i save module in konsole? | 05:33 |
| Konner | I clicked that many times | 05:34 |
| Konner | what do i do after | 05:34 |
| BanTam | what do you see? | 05:35 |
| Konner | uhh.. | 05:35 |
| BanTam | after you click on manual config what happens? | 05:35 |
| Konner | All it does is let me disable the connection or enable or config the connection | 05:35 |
| BanTam | it doens show you any wireless networks? | 05:36 |
| Konner | no | 05:36 |
| Konner | I cant pick any because of the manual configuration | 05:37 |
| BanTam | what happens when you left click on it? | 05:37 |
| Konner | It brings up some box saying no device | 05:38 |
| BanTam | im wondering if the dirvers are actually working | 05:38 |
| Konner | It all worked fine on ubuntu but i like the KDE enviroment | 05:39 |
| BanTam | your going to have to go back into linux and at the terminal type iwconfig and see if it shows youe wifi adapter | 05:39 |
| Konner | ok | 05:39 |
| Konner | Ahhh | 05:43 |
| BanTam | ? | 05:44 |
| Konner | no it doesnt show i have a wireless device | 05:44 |
| Konner | No wonder. | 05:44 |
| BanTam | you folled all the steps? | 05:44 |
| BanTam | followed? | 05:44 |
| Konner | yea | 05:44 |
| Konner | h | 05:44 |
| BanTam | what happened after you entered sudo modprobe ndiswrapper? | 05:44 |
| Konner | It did nothing actualy | 05:45 |
| BanTam | ok | 05:45 |
| BanTam | and then you finished by entering sudo ndiswrapper -m ? | 05:46 |
| evilbug | is there any way to stop touchpad tap-click without an external app? (there is no Touchpad tab in Mouse menu). | 05:46 |
| Konner | Yeah after that | 05:46 |
| Konner | it regestered something | 05:46 |
| beener | rm-fR ~ / .config / deluge can some one tell me what this does? | 05:46 |
| BanTam | yeah thats what tells it to start when you login | 05:46 |
| BanTam | well im not sure beener but its going to delete something | 05:47 |
| BanTam | prob your deluge folder | 05:47 |
| beener | i was told it was a solution to fix delugs loading problem | 05:47 |
| BanTam | yeah it will delete it | 05:47 |
| BanTam | lol | 05:47 |
| BanTam | thatll fix it alright | 05:47 |
| beener | so it should only delet that folder? | 05:47 |
| BanTam | konner: i would try running sudo modprobe ndiswrapper again, the after you enter that type iwconfig | 05:48 |
| BanTam | also you type sudo ndiswrapper -l | 05:48 |
| Konner | Hmm | 05:48 |
| BanTam | it will tell you if it installed the driver you should see the drivers name | 05:49 |
| beener | ? | 05:49 |
| Konner | Ok | 05:49 |
| Konner | ill brb again | 05:49 |
| BanTam | ok | 05:49 |
| Konner | i hope this works | 05:49 |
| Konner | x] | 05:49 |
| BanTam | me too | 05:49 |
| BanTam | beener whats wrong? | 05:49 |
| Lynoure | beener: without the space after rm, nothing. With a space DON'T DO IT. | 05:50 |
| beener | it that im trying to help a friend and that the only solution i get but for an odd reson. when he ran it his free space went from 5 to 11 gigs | 05:50 |
| beener | this was before i asked | 05:50 |
| Lynoure | beener: it would delete your whole home because of there being extra spaces in the path. | 05:50 |
| Lynoure | unless it just gave an error, anyway, nothing you'd want. | 05:51 |
| beener | damn i thnk that what happend... | 05:51 |
| anon32 | BanTam, welcome back | 05:52 |
| BanTam | :) | 05:52 |
| BanTam | thanks | 05:52 |
| Lynoure | beener: that's bad. I hope you had either backups or a brand new install... | 05:52 |
| beener | nope i know he didnt | 05:52 |
| beener | should it only delete the home folder? | 05:52 |
| Lynoure | beener: it probably also tries to delete your / (root filesystem) | 05:54 |
| beener | damn | 05:54 |
| Lynoure | beener: and .config and deluge, but at that point those would not be left anymore | 05:54 |
| beener | when he told me it jump from 5 to 11 gigs | 05:55 |
| beener | i told him to cut the power | 05:55 |
| BanTam | someone gave me a similiar command years ago in one of my many failed attempts to learn linux wiped out my entire drive | 05:55 |
| Strangelet | I cannot move many of the applets on my main KDE toolbar. The taskbar won't move either. The K Menu is virtually the only movable thing, And that is because it has an option. I am apparently supposed to see an 'arrow' or something of the sorts when I hover my mouse over it, but I see nothing. I also tried putting the applets back in, from left to right, taht did not work either. What can I do?? | 05:55 |
| BanTam | theres some real assh*les out there | 05:55 |
| beener | so he booted it up and got to the mantance shell ran fschk or sumthing along the lines. and now it boots fine | 05:56 |
| BanTam | i need a ciggarette | 05:56 |
| BanTam | brb | 05:56 |
| beener | hes just missing some music and movies now | 05:56 |
| Lynoure | beener: that one, in theory, could have been a botched rm -rf ~/.config/deluge , which would just remove the deluge directory and everything in it | 05:56 |
| beener | his whole home folder is basicly gone he said | 05:57 |
| Konner | Ok | 05:57 |
| Konner | Im getting some airwaves going on | 05:57 |
| Konner | xD | 05:57 |
| Konner | it found it | 05:57 |
| Konner | but im not getting ANY connection | 05:57 |
| Lynoure | beener: best way to live with it is to consider it a learning experience. Lessons: 1) Do not run commands you are not sure about 2) Whitespace in commands is significant 3) Take backups regularly | 05:58 |
| beener | if it runs now it not that bad, right? i know he can always get the files again. | 05:58 |
| beener | yea | 05:58 |
| Lynoure | beener: and also it might help to know something similar happens to very very many people at some point of their Linux life | 05:59 |
| Konner | BanTan | 05:59 |
| beener | ... i knew they were harsh comands but it was the only "fix" i found | 05:59 |
| beener | least it boot now | 05:59 |
| Konner | pssh | 06:00 |
| billyBobO | does anyone know if Wubi will be available for Kubuntu 8.04? Or will kubuntu-desktop be needed to install afterwards? | 06:00 |

| Konner | It wouldnt conenct | 06:02 |
| Konner | But it was doing something | 06:02 |
| BanTam | is it wep protected? | 06:02 |
| Konner | I might need to check the forums on how to disable this | 06:02 |
| Konner | :S | 06:02 |
| Konner | yeah its WEP | 06:02 |
| BanTam | id it prompt you for the key? | 06:02 |
| Konner | No | 06:02 |
| Konner | it wouldnt do anything | 06:02 |

| BanTam | i dont use adept for u pdates i have nothing but probs with it | 06:14 |
| BanTam | it gives me errors halfway through the upgrade | 06:14 |
| BanTam | type 1st: sudo apt-get update | 06:14 |
| konner | Nope aparently no updates | 06:14 |
| BanTam | then: sudo apt-get upgrade | 06:14 |

| BanTam | !envy | 06:27 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 06:27 |
| mkquist | konner: was it ur system partition? | 06:27 |
| intelikey | nick77 so close the windows that are pointing to it. and right click the icon on the desktop and tell it to umount | 06:27 |
| konner | Yeah the first time i installed Ubuntu it gave me only 7 GB and i tried resizing it | 06:27 |
| nick77 | it was amarok.......... i closed it thanks | 06:28 |
| kaminix | Hmm... the new kaffeine package is not compatible with the old kaffeine-xine package in repos. When I run aptitude full-upgrade it wants to remove kaffeine and kaffenie-xine, then when I reinstall kaffeine and then kaffeine-xine they get removed again. | 06:28 |
| konner | this is funny | 06:28 |
| mkquist | konner: yeah that can be a problem | 06:28 |
| konner | whats with kubuntu and everything with a K | 06:28 |
| intelikey | !kde | 06:28 |

Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. | 06:28 |

| mkquist | konner: nothing funny, it just idenifies it from like gome... or xubuntu.. simple really | 06:29 |

| konner | I still need some help installing Wine | 06:30 |
| konner | :S | 06:30 |
| intelikey | konner sudo apt-get install wine | 06:30 |
| konner | I did that | 06:30 |
| konner | it says i need binfmt-support | 06:30 |
| konner | i downloaded te package | 06:30 |
| konner | and Gdebi just quits | 06:31 |
| BanTam | did you try sudo apt-get install wine ? | 06:31 |
| intelikey | konner sudo apt-get -f install | 06:31 |
| konner | I did that too | 06:31 |
| intelikey | what did it say ? | 06:31 |
| intelikey | !pastebin | 06:32 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 06:32 |

| ubotu | konner: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 06:32 |
| konner | hmm | 06:35 |
| konner | How do i install .deb packages on kubuntu | 06:37 |
| konner | the Gdebi doesnt work well | 06:37 |
| prince_jammys | konner: sudo dpkg -i packg_name.deb | 06:38 |
| intelikey | prince_jammys no. | 06:38 |
| intelikey | apt-get if possable. | 06:39 |
| konner | wow | 06:39 |
| konner | thats what i neded | 06:39 |
| konner | now wine is downloading | 06:39 |
| konner | =] | 06:39 |
| intelikey | i.e. using things not in the repos will cause problems later on. | 06:39 |
| prince_jammys | intelikey: is that not how one installs deb files? | 06:39 |
| konner | it worked fine for me | 06:40 |
| konner | now wine works | 06:40 |
| intelikey | prince_jammys yes. only meant that you should sujest trying apt. didn't mean it as a rebuke. sorry it came accross that way | 06:40 |
| prince_jammys | i already directed him to the link that goes through apt | 06:40 |
| prince_jammys | it's right up there | 06:40 |
| konner | Now my windows products will work | 06:40 |
| konner | <3 | 06:41 |
| prince_jammys | konner: intelikey is right - installing through apt is ideal and preferred | 06:41 |
| prince_jammys | !3rdparty | 06:41 |
| ubotu | Packages contained in 3rd party repositories are not included in Ubuntu for a reason. Whether this be poor packaging standards, bugs or malicious authors. You should trust the maintainers of these repositories before using them. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297814 for consequences. | 06:41 |
| prince_jammys | in this case, you should be fine, but going through repositories is always preferable | 06:42 |
| intelikey | yes and wine is very well supported in the repos | 06:42 |
| konner | I download .deb packages from packages.ubuntu.com | 06:43 |
| prince_jammys | that's ok, but unnecessary | 06:43 |
| konner | THeres a easyer way to do it? | 06:43 |
| prince_jammys | !apt | 06:43 |
| ubotu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 06:43 |
| prince_jammys | using apt-geyt | 06:44 |

| konner | Is there a way to get Windows Live Messenger on linux? | 06:44 |
| prince_jammys | deals with dependencies, downloads and installs | 06:44 |
| konner | I dont like the msn clones it has | 06:44 |
| konner | it doesnt connect directly to the windows live network | 06:45 |
| prince_jammys | this i don't know about | 06:45 |
| konner | crap =/ | 06:45 |
| prince_jammys | konner: try using "adept":: it's a gui front-end for apt | 06:45 |
| prince_jammys | konner: there you can search for software by keyword | 06:46 |
| prince_jammys | thousands of packages | 06:46 |
| prince_jammys | the command line version is: apt-cache search keywords | 06:47 |
| prince_jammys | and once you see a package you like: sudo apt-get install packg_name | 06:47 |
| prince_jammys | to remove: sudo apt-get remove packg_name | 06:47 |
| prince_jammys | to update the list from the repositories: sudo apt-get update | 06:48 |
| prince_jammys | :) | 06:48 |
| prince_jammys | but you can do all this from gui using "adept" in your system meny | 06:48 |

| prince_jammys | konner: if you don't have for example "universe" enabled, you can also do that from Adept | 06:51 |

| Roy_M | Hi, I built some kernel modules one machine (an emulated image) and am trying to put them on another machine (a real embedded machine). However, when I do my modprobe command that inserts them, I get errors. I am starting to think that the images are not identical. See http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57559/ for the output of "uname -a". Is it s big deal that one is i686 and the other is i586? | 07:54 |
| Daisuke_Ido | yeah, and this is probably not the place. try ##linux | 07:56 |
| intelikey | or #kernel | 07:56 |
| intelikey | but yes the arch is important in "many" cases. | 07:56 |
| Roy_M | sure, thanks intelikey and Daisuke_Ido | 07:58 |

| nicolah | hi guys using kde is it possible to have *all* windows without top border ? (since I'm using a tiny notebook with low resolution) thanks | 13:38 |
| storbeck | killall kwin | 13:39 |
| storbeck | granted, you won't be able to move or close anything | 13:40 |
| storbeck | other than going to file -> close | 13:40 |
| nicolah | killing kwin won't let me us the alt+tab function to switch windows | 13:41 |
| nicolah | (just tested) | 13:42 |
| storbeck | Interesting | 13:42 |
| nicolah | you understand that without top border and without top panel that's the only way to switch windows | 13:44 |
| nicolah | I'm using xandros+kde on the eeepc so I'm looking for way to gain as much space as possible | 13:44 |
| storbeck | killall kwin killed your top panel? as in your menubar? | 13:45 |
| nicolah | uhm let me try again | 13:46 |
| nicolah | I don't know if it kills the top panel because it's hidden and it shows whenever i reach the top left corner, but with kwin killed it does'nt show | 13:47 |
| storbeck | Hm, weird. I wasn't aware it did that | 13:47 |
| nicolah | if I run kwin it shows again, so I don't know if it kills it of if it prevent from showing | 13:47 |
| AndrewB | Hmm, where can I help translate kubuntu? I can't find it on launchpad | 13:48 |
| storbeck | Well, the window decorations are handled by kwin | 13:49 |
| nicolah | is there a way to tell kwin just to create windows without top border ? | 13:49 |
| nicolah | that would make kde great for eeepc | 13:50 |
| storbeck | I know that when a lot of people install compiz they lose their window decorations | 13:59 |
| storbeck | (not intended) | 14:00 |
| storbeck | I suppose you could try to recreate the mistake | 14:00 |
| nicolah | uhm | 14:00 |
| flipstar | that comes when they dont start an window decorator with compiz .. | 14:01 |
| flipstar | or even install so compiz can start it by itself .. | 14:01 |
| storbeck | Eh, not always | 14:01 |
| anto | hey homies | 14:01 |
| storbeck | Sometimes the theme itself doesn't work right with compiz | 14:01 |
| storbeck | But hey, it was just a suggestion | 14:02 |
| storbeck | Isn't there a default window decoration that you can pick that basically has no top border, except 3 buttons that stick out (min,max,x) | 14:03 |
| storbeck | Or maybe just deleting all the installed themes | 14:06 |
| noaXess | hi all | 14:07 |
| noaXess | wich pecl package i need to install over pear.. that i can use all the pecl features? pecl_http? | 14:08 |

| Lynoure | kpenrose: unless you are taking a poll on it's popularity, just ask your question and someone might answer | 14:15 |
| storbeck | Haha | 14:16 |
| tekstacy | is there a "right" place to make a folder for all users to share? | 14:16 |
| storbeck | Good one, Lynoure | 14:16 |
| Lynoure | tekstacy: Often giving full permission to a folder for all users is a bad idea, the place is not that standard as the result. Consider making one for group users instead, not likely that all your system users need to get there too | 14:19 |
| kpenrose | The question is too long to type for an audience that can't help. | 14:19 |
| nosrednaekim | kpenrose» what? | 14:20 |
| Lynoure | kpenrose: If you are taking a poll, I do like openvpn, but no, not using it currently (hmph, ciscos) | 14:20 |
| tekstacy | Lynoure, ahh, makes sense. Thank you | 14:20 |
| kpenrose | I'll ask in the #openvpn channel | 14:20 |

| tekstacy | To you guys who hang out in here and answer the questions.... | 14:34 |

| nosrednaekim | You are very welcome... and i'm probably right in saying the first 2 weeks were the hardest? | 14:35 |
| tekstacy | nosrednaekim, yes | 14:35 |
| nosrednaekim | tekstacy» missing windows programs or just learning how Linux works? | 14:36 |
| tekstacy | both. But I learned how to use Wine, that helped alot | 14:37 |
| nosrednaekim | long live WINE :) | 14:37 |
| tekstacy | After a week or so, I get used to "finding the answers" when things go bad, then it ges easy | 14:37 |
| soussou | hi all | 14:38 |
| tekstacy | Honestly, I am so f**king happy with this, it's like the fun I had first learning | 14:38 |
| soussou | is there a kde4 release in the works? | 14:38 |
| nosrednaekim | yep..... giyf. | 14:38 |
| soussou | tekstacy: what r u talking about? | 14:38 |
| nosrednaekim | soussou» yeah... for hardy | 14:38 |
| soussou | nosrednaekim: r u serious? I downloaded hardy alpha 5, and there's no kde4 desktop, just dolphin, and some packages | 14:39 |
| soussou | but nothing really like a full fledged kde4 desktop | 14:39 |
| AgentZ86 | HI all, fyi no effect on kubuntu and fxcm.com java app, same as ubuntu, my lack of that one button, (right click)(menu) stop/loss just doesn't work, but I"m going to do a fresh kubuntu on separate partition to confirm. Then I have to conclude it's something to do with my java installation or java webstart | 14:39 |
| tekstacy | kubuntu in general, I noticed this morning it's been six months w/o windows | 14:39 |
| nosrednaekim | soussou» there will be two cds for hardy.... kde3 and kde4, the kde4 CD is still int he works | 14:40 |
| soussou | cool, thanks for the good news | 14:40 |
| nosrednaekim | AgentZ86» or web browser? | 14:40 |
| tekstacy | if you just want to "check it out" openSUSE has a live cd w/ kde4 | 14:40 |
| soussou | I would hate seeing some other distro beating kubuntu to the punch | 14:40 |
| nosrednaekim | or use the Gutsy kde4 CD | 14:40 |
| soussou | tekstacy: I did try opensuse 11, it's kde4 for sure, but too buggy, it keeps crashing all the time | 14:41 |
| flipstar | i just tried fedora9 ..was stable for me :) | 14:42 |
| flipstar | it comes with kde4 as default | 14:42 |
| soussou | does fedora9 have kde4 desktop? | 14:42 |
| flipstar | yes but it still is a alpha or something | 14:43 |
| soussou | woow, I swear, I did download it, tried it in vbox, and gave it up, didn't see the point of another gnome distro, ubuntu beats the crap out of fedora | 14:43 |
| tekstacy | isn't fedora k? | 14:43 |
| nosrednaekim | tekstacy» no...mostly GNOME | 14:43 |
| flipstar | haha i just used it to fix my kubuntu :) | 14:43 |
| nosrednaekim | though they are trying to do a little more KDE | 14:43 |
| flipstar | it has kde4 .. | 14:44 |
| AgentZ86 | I like K, best, but I've been using Ubuntu and have trouble deciding they both work so well now with just about all the apps I like to use | 14:44 |
| nosrednaekim | soussou» BTW. you can grab the KDE 4.0.1 packages in hardy.. | 14:44 |
| nosrednaekim | apt-get install kde4-core | 14:44 |
| AgentZ86 | how can one choose between gnome or kde they are both good now | 14:44 |

| soussou | I am not seeking support, and I am not a developer | 14:47 |
| soussou | I am here hanging out with fellow linux users | 14:48 |
| nosrednaekim | :) | 14:48 |
| nosrednaekim | morning wad | 14:48 |
| wad | I'm trying to figure out how to connect my kubuntu laptop to my home WPA wireless network. Let me explain what I've done so far: | 14:48 |
| soussou | I don't see the point behind trashing UE, or mint, or any derived distros, they're all cousins | 14:48 |
| jussi01 | soussou: you may find #kubuntu-offtopic more to your needs :) | 14:49 |
| soussou | jussi01: I am not seeking any help | 14:49 |
| JuJuBee | flipstar : any suggestions ? | 14:49 |
| soussou | just chilling with you boys | 14:49 |
| JuJuBee | or is it toast ? | 14:49 |
| soussou | I am not trolling either | 14:49 |
| wad | 1. When I bring my laptop between home and work, my network nettings would get completely munged. So eventually I just wiped out network manager, and wrote some scripts to connect me to my home wired LAN, work wired LAN, work wireless WEP network, or wireless PCMCIA sprint card. All good so far. | 14:49 |
| flipstar | JuJuBee: try fsck .. | 14:49 |
| soussou | so just be easy on me guys, OK? | 14:50 |
| flipstar | if you have ext3 you'll be lucky | 14:50 |
| JuJuBee | Thanks, never thought of that... | 14:50 |
| JuJuBee | The drive is not ext2, I think it is fat32 | 14:50 |
| soussou | can I ask a generla filesystem question too? | 14:50 |
| JuJuBee | I use it between windows and linux | 14:50 |
| flipstar | oh .. | 14:51 |
| soussou | I have about 160 MB of free space | 14:51 |
| nosrednaekim | wad» use wpa-supplicant | 14:51 |
| flipstar | then you might have some data loose.. | 14:51 |
| soussou | how do I claim it and make it part of my filesystem? | 14:51 |
| wad | 2. But despite spending several hours trying to manually configure this laptop to connect to my home wireless WPA network, I have so far failed. So now I just did "apt-get install knetworkmanager" which installs networkmanager, and tinkered with the GUI settings. My objective is to get it to connect, then harvest the config files, so I can do it manually on my own. | 14:51 |
| jussi01 | soussou: sure, just trying to get across that this is a support channel, not a place for general chatter (#kubuntu-offtopic) | 14:51 |
| flipstar | soussou: try qtparted | 14:51 |
| wad | nosrednaekim: Of course. I've spent about an hour trying to get that to work. | 14:51 |
| wad | nosrednaekim: no joy so far. | 14:51 |
| nosrednaekim | wad» so have I..... the only thing that I found that works is Knetwrkmanager, as much as I hate it | 14:52 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as substr | ||
| soussou | does formatting a partition automartically makes it part of the filesystem? | 14:52 |
| soussou | *automatically | 14:52 |
| nosrednaekim | soussou» what filesystem? | 14:52 |
| soussou | linux filesystem | 14:52 |
| wad | nosrednaekim: so, you got it to work! Can you give me some hints? | 14:52 |
| nosrednaekim | soussou» well, it can be mounted. | 14:52 |
| soussou | I have a small chunk of my hard disk free | 14:52 |
| flipstar | no..not generally formating..try qtparted! | 14:53 |
| wad | nosrednaekim: I've tried several things, and I can't get it to show me a list of available networks. What's the magic? | 14:53 |
| soussou | very small, about 160 MB | 14:53 |
| nosrednaekim | wad» no... knetworkmanager just worked.... though i'm not useing it right now (no WPA) | 14:53 |
| wad | rats. | 14:53 |
| patoruzu | sorry..i felt: hey guys...i've been dragging this problem for a week now...i dont seem to find a solution: after i upgraded to kde 3.5.9 the kded process goes to the roof each time I plug an usb drive..... | 14:53 |
| patoruzu | any ideas? | 14:53 |
| wad | I'll killed knetworkmanager, and now I'm trying to resurrect it. | 14:53 |
| JuJuBee | How do I use dosfsck to check /dev/sdb ? | 14:53 |
| nosrednaekim | wad» no list of availalable netowrks? comment out everything in your /etc/network/interfaces | 14:53 |
| wad | nosrednaekim: okay! | 14:54 |
| JuJuBee | or fsck if possible | 14:54 |
| flipstar | JuJuBee: fsck will automaticly try to determine..just type <sudo fsck /dev/sdb> | 14:54 |
| wad | nosrednaekim: anything else before I go offline and try it? | 14:54 |
| nosrednaekim | !diskcheck | 14:54 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about diskcheck - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 14:54 |
| nosrednaekim | wad» yeah... after editing it... kill knetowrkmanager and run "sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart" then restart knetworkmanager | 14:54 |
| AgentZ86 | anyone- when installing kubuntu on seperate partition with Ubuntu on my first partition etc. should I create and use a seperate swap as well, or no problems using the same Ubuntu swap ?? | 14:55 |
| JuJuBee | flipstar : fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdb | 14:55 |
| JuJuBee | Tells me the superblock could not be read... | 14:55 |
| nosrednaekim | AgentZ86» they can use the same swap as long as you don't hibernate | 14:55 |
| wad | nosrednaekim: allright. Thanks! | 14:55 |
| flipstar | err then try fsck.vfat it was vfat or ? | 14:56 |
| * wad goes offline | 14:56 | |
| soussou | never mind, I tried qparted, that small chunk of free space doesn't even show | 14:56 |
| AgentZ86 | hmm, I'll make seperate swap cause I don't know if I hybernate or not, I just use defaults | 14:56 |
| AgentZ86 | thanks | 14:56 |
| nosrednaekim | AgentZ86» do you tell it to hibernate when you sut down? | 14:56 |
| nosrednaekim | *shut | 14:57 |
| AgentZ86 | no | 14:57 |
| nosrednaekim | then you don't | 14:57 |
| AgentZ86 | thanks I just restart I don't think I've ever turned off the computer, and it just uses it's defaults whatever it has on it when I installed Ubuntu, I'm assuming Kubuntu will do the same, ??? right | 14:57 |
| soussou | what would be the best IDE for developing qt4 apps? | 14:58 |

| flipstar | it will be overwritten | 17:10 |
| Sbucatone_ | flipstar: i know | 17:10 |
| TheFarmer | tekstacy: And it'll do whatever it needs to do (lilo? grub or whatever?) to the main drive to just tell it there is another OS on the external ? | 17:10 |
| Sbucatone_ | flipstar: but in my card if i left that stuff it doesn't work ... i don't know why but when i change them after it works | 17:11 |
| tekstacy | TheFarmer, you would install it on a flash drive as the only os. | 17:11 |
| flipstar | hm..the right file for dns namerserver changes is /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf .. | 17:12 |
| coggz | ill fix it later. bye thanks for your help | 17:12 |

| ScorpKing | limbeaux: from the d at the end i think it should be a deamon | 17:17 |
| limbeaux | it is a gui for proftpd | 17:17 |

| flipstar | limbeaux: then use kdesu instead of sudo :> | 17:17 |

| flipstar | right click->edit ¦-> | 17:19 |

| jaymacdonald | The release number corrsponds to the release date. | 17:45 |
| maniac | from very start. | 17:45 |
| maniac | it started with linuxdcpp crashing at start. and then, after some updates. it got worse | 17:45 |

| flipstar | hi | 18:13 |
| aris | i do have a question on kubuntu | 18:13 |
| flipstar | go on .. | 18:13 |
| aris | how i may run a deb file | 18:13 |
| flipstar | open it with gdebi | 18:13 |
| aris | i have downloaded skype for Linux | 18:13 |
| aris | where is gdebi? | 18:14 |
| flipstar | you might install gdebi before.. | 18:14 |
| flipstar | search for it in adept | 18:14 |
| frank232 | aris: can't you just click on it? | 18:14 |
| aris | yes i clikc on skype.deb | 18:14 |
| aris | but cannot run | 18:14 |
| flipstar | !info gdebi | 18:15 |

| aris | can you tell me where to look for gdebi? | 18:15 |
| flipstar | search for it in adept or type sudo apt-get install gdebi | 18:15 |
| maniac | flipstar: I could use compiz. But it's initialization did not look good. And I dont see any use of it. And it caused problems for 3d games | 18:15 |
| frank232 | aris: is there an error message? | 18:16 |
| frank232 | aris: use adept to install gdebi-kde if it's not installed | 18:16 |
| maniac | aris: you can also run "dpgk -i skype-file-name.deb" from console. But gdebi-kde should be accessible with right click. | 18:16 |
| root__ | dvgfghuil | 18:17 |
| flipstar | maniac: yes..if i dont start it at login it might flicker for a second..and framerate i little bit lower in 3d games, i agree | 18:17 |
| aris | the error message is that it opens with another program ARK | 18:17 |
| flipstar | and btw i find it very usefull | 18:17 |
| psilocyde | could someone please help with my adept package manager problem? | 18:17 |
| flipstar | aris: you need to install an program that can deal with that..like gdebi | 18:17 |

| maniac | psilocyde: past "sudo adept_updater" | 18:24 |
| psilocyde | ty will do | 18:24 |
| frank232 | aris: anyways you probably need to use a terminal and run sudo dpkg -i skypepackagename.deb | 18:25 |

| Waterstoff | in fact, thats some pretty bad advice | 18:41 |
| trappist | now that you mention it... you're right | 18:42 |
| Waterstoff | 1) Don't use sudo unless you have good reason | 18:42 |
| flipstar | psilocyde: libncursesw5 is installed..? | 18:42 |
| Waterstoff | 2) Make the file executable and run the file, its a bin for a reason | 18:42 |
| Waterstoff | 3) sh files _usually_ end with .sh, not with .bin | 18:42 |
| psilocyde | flipstar: how do i verify that? | 18:42 |

| flipstar | err psilocyde sorry that was the wrong one.. | 18:44 |
| trappist | aris: actually, let's start with this - do file <filename> | 18:44 |
| aris | trappist...it is RealPlayer10Gold.bin | 18:44 |
| Waterstoff | it is an executable file | 18:44 |
| flipstar | psilocyde: apt-cache policy libncursesw5 | 18:44 |

| DaSkreech | but thats for windows!! ^_^ | 20:01 |
| flipstar | so it is on dvd .. not in the repos | 20:01 |
| DaSkreech | ATE IS N | 20:01 |
| flipstar | btw for what do you need such things oO | 20:02 |
| Arwen | help with compiz please. The taskbar shows every single window on every viewport. Can I get it to only show the current one? | 20:02 |
| DaSkreech | apt-get install frontpage 0_0 | 20:02 |
| prince_jammys | Arwen: i had this problem when i had compiz installed and remember searching the web and having no luck | 20:05 |
| prince_jammys | Arwen: eventually i stumbled into "it can't be done", but maybe that's wrong. have you tried the taskbar settings? | 20:06 |
| Arwen | taskbar settings? | 20:06 |
| Arwen | in KDE? | 20:06 |
| prince_jammys | yeah | 20:06 |
| Arwen | oh cool, there's a patched taskbar that's compiz-aware | 20:07 |
| Arwen | never mind, yay! | 20:07 |
| mefisto__ | MasseR: I think it's something like "apt-get install kaffeine=version.you.want.installed" but check man apt-get, I may be wrong | 20:08 |
| frank232 | Arwen: by the time Kde 4.1 is released, kwin should have decent compositing | 20:08 |
| Arwen | screw KDE4 | 20:08 |
| flipstar | err kde4.01 | 20:08 |
| Arwen | 4.01 is already oit | 20:09 |
| Arwen | out* and it still sucks | 20:09 |

| Arwen | yeah, searching for drop shadows.. | 20:11 |
| Eirikeb | Ive tried googling this, but is there some kind of recomended partition system for a fileserver? | 20:11 |
| Arwen | yeah, use a functional one | 20:11 |
| flipstar | jfs maybe | 20:12 |
| Arwen | oh, turning off reflections did the trick | 20:12 |
| Arwen | Eirikeb, use a reliable one like ext | 20:12 |
| Arwen | instead of a "fast" one like reiser | 20:12 |
| flipstar | reiser is better for small files.. | 20:12 |
| Arwen | correction: for LOTS of small files | 20:13 |
| flipstar | ext3 is better for general.. | 20:13 |
| flipstar | jfs for servers | 20:13 |
| llutz | xfs better for bigger files (video etc) | 20:13 |
| flipstar | note:my opinion | 20:13 |
| Arwen | !compiz > kubuntu | 20:13 |
| Waterstoff | yes | 20:13 |
| Arwen | !compiz > Arwen | 20:13 |
| Waterstoff | note that this is all opinion | 20:13 |
| llutz | so use ZFS, and solaris of course ;) | 20:13 |
| Arwen | hehe | 20:13 |
| flipstar | or wait for ext4 :) | 20:14 |
| Waterstoff | unless your a crazy ricer that sits in front of your computer with a stopwatch that has millisecond precision, you most likely will not notice a difference | 20:14 |
| Waterstoff | between any | 20:14 |
| llutz | Waterstoff: on a heavy loaded fileserver you'll see the differences very quick | 20:14 |
| flipstar | yep also on the root partition..(there many small files) | 20:15 |
| Waterstoff | maybe on a true fileserver.. not much where else | 20:15 |
| limbeaux | i dont think krfb can be configured to run as a service and accept request. | 20:15 |
| flipstar | krfb can autoaccept | 20:15 |
| llutz | Waterstoff: we talked about fileserver | 20:16 |
| flipstar | but run as service..maybe copying to /etc/init.d ..but guess not | 20:16 |
| limbeaux | yeah, i will just have to figure out how to set up vnc | 20:17 |
| flipstar | limbeaux: you could use other proggys than krfb.. | 20:18 |
| flipstar | like x11vnc | 20:18 |
| limbeaux | any with a gui? i am intermidate at best with kde/linux | 20:18 |
| flipstar | no it doesnt have a gui | 20:18 |
| flipstar | no interaction required | 20:19 |
| flipstar | of course you should run it with x11vnc --passwd <password> else it run without a pass(!!) | 20:20 |
| flipstar | then you could add this to autostart..thats it | 20:21 |
| limbeaux | hmm ok | 20:22 |

| trappist | flipstar: there are other things to use instead of cron if you want different functionality, but cron is pretty much what you want to use for regularly scheduled tasks | 20:38 |
| mefisto__ | Jewsus: I just looked at that page with firefox3 beta and it looks fine | 20:38 |
| flipstar | it just have to run like every 5 minutes.. | 20:38 |

| llutz | flipstar: write a bash-script with a while-loop and use sleep to wait for xxx minutes (man bash tells you how) | 20:42 |
| Jewsus | llutz: but im sure he'll use different commands | 20:42 |
| Jewsus | maybe he can put them in an array | 20:43 |
| flipstar | no just one simple command.. | 20:43 |
| trappist | flipstar: while true; do somecommand;sleep $((60*5));done | 20:43 |

| Daisuke_Ido | how would i see what processes are hogging a device? /dev/dsp to be exact | 20:56 |
| jhutchins_wk | Daisuke_Ido: top, ps, fuser /dev/dsp | 20:56 |
| flipstar | Arwen: maybe its for scaring people.. | 20:57 |
| Arwen | the cube is actually kind of pointless. much slower than just sliding desktops | 20:58 |
| DaSkreech | Arwen: Helps people visualise the desktops | 20:58 |

| konner | yeah gusty | 21:21 |
| MrJoey | Is there a way to reinstall the supplementary drivers that are removed at installation for the destination computer? | 21:22 |
| nosrednaekim | Arwen» :) | 21:22 |
| nosrednaekim | konner» run "sudo apt-get update"first then | 21:22 |
| trappist | nordisk: if there was a "best" there would probably only be one. depends on what you need out of an rdbms. | 21:22 |
| Arwen | yay 4 software rendering | 21:22 |
| Arwen | it's actually pretty fast considering... | 21:22 |
| nosrednaekim | MrJoey» uhhh run that by us again... is abit more down-to-earth language? | 21:22 |
| konner | Ok i ran that | 21:22 |
| MrJoey | I'm using a USB hard drive to run Kubuntu on my computer, but I can't get it to boot on another computer using the same bootstrap CD | 21:22 |
| DaSkreech | nordisk: Depends on the purpose | 21:22 |
| MrJoey | If you get rid of "using the same bootstrap CD" from my last sentence, then it is down-to-earth :) | 21:23 |
| nosrednaekim | MrJoey» ah!.... well that would depend if the device is refered to byt he same grub/disc ID I would think | 21:23 |
| DaSkreech | MrJoey: You have a initrd file I think | 21:23 |
| DaSkreech | Oh that too | 21:23 |
| MrJoey | My initrd file is both on a CD and on the hard drive | 21:23 |
| BanTam | whats better to use, performance wise? fglrx driver or ati? | 21:24 |
| MrJoey | I can bootstrap by using the CD with root=/dev/sdc4 set as a kernel parameter | 21:24 |
| konner | What do i do after sudo apt-get update | 21:24 |
| trappist | konner: usually, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 21:24 |
| coggz | hi, still no wireless | 21:24 |
| nosrednaekim | MrJoey» but what if when you move to another computer, the USB disc becomes sdb4? | 21:24 |
| MrJoey | "fglrx driver or ati?" ==> Well, I don't think nonfunctionality is very good performance-wise :) (I've had no luck with fglrx, but then again, I don't try much) | 21:24 |
| MrJoey | Very good point! | 21:25 |
| MrJoey | Why didn't I think of that? | 21:25 |
| crashed | nosrednaekim: would you remember what I did to configure this TV tuner properly? | 21:25 |
| MrJoey | I have an sda and an sdb (2 hard drives) | 21:25 |
| nosrednaekim | crashed» I don't recall you ever getting it working | 21:25 |
| MrJoey | the computer I was booting to has only 1 | 21:25 |
| Arwen | BanTam, fglrx is faster, but they're both kind of slow | 21:25 |
| crashed | I got it working three different times. | 21:25 |
| crashed | And I can't get it working this time. | 21:25 |
| MrJoey | I was thinking maybe the USB driver starts at sdc anyway | 21:25 |
| BanTam | ok thanks | 21:25 |
| MrJoey | But I ought to try the sdb | 21:26 |
| DaSkreech | crashed: Documentation is great :) | 21:26 |

| konner | i need to mark it | 21:26 |
| BanTam | i got 2 just in case | 21:26 |
| konner | found it | 21:26 |
| konner | x] | 21:26 |
| MrJoey | As for the fglrx, you can try it, but you will lose 3D rendering from the standard "ati" or "radeon" driver due to some problem. You have to uninstall fglrx to get it back to normal, not just edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 21:26 |
| flipstar | https://shipit.kubuntu.org/ | 21:26 |
| nosrednaekim | MrJoey» better yet, I think you can tell it to set root by UUID | 21:27 |

| MrJoey | MrJoey» better yet, I think you can tell it to set root by UUID ==> How would I find the UUID of that other hard drive? | 21:30 |
| konner | Ok just to be safe i went to ship it and ordered me 2 kubuntu CDs and 2 ubuntu CDs | 21:30 |
| crashed | But if I know what card number and what tuner number, what could be causing the problems? | 21:31 |
| tr3ei | or it works with ubuntu too ? Because i have the same problem with ubuntu. I've even tried ubuntu/kubuntu 8.04 and i've got the same result | 21:31 |
| MrJoey | Where is the actual UUID specified? | 21:31 |
| MrJoey | Is it randomly generated and put somewhere, or is it part of the hard drive that never changes? | 21:31 |
| Daisuke_Ido | nevermind, kppp won't help, that's ppp, not pppoe | 21:31 |
| MrJoey | sort of like a MAC address | 21:31 |
| flipstar | MrJoey: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid -al | 21:31 |

| tr3ei | i've tried to run pppoeconf for eth0 or eth0:avahi only... and this way it asks me the user and the pass... but at the end... it still doesn't work :| | 21:33 |

This menu entry will go to the single user level and launch a custom script. If the script fails, it will drop to the single user level command line. | 21:36 |

| pedro | how do i monut a partition | 23:01 |
| pedro | ?? | 23:01 |
| Eirikeb | <-- gz me, just fucked up my installation | 23:01 |
| Konner | argh | 23:01 |
| tekteen | !ohmy | 23:01 |
| ubotu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 23:01 |
| Konner | it wont start again | 23:01 |
| tekteen | Eirikeb: so what happened | 23:02 |
| tekteen | what did you mess up | 23:02 |
| Konner | ubuntu is a less pain | 23:02 |
| Eirikeb | cant use adminstrator mode | 23:02 |
| Eirikeb | have no idea what my su password is | 23:02 |
| tekteen | Eirikeb: your password | 23:02 |
| tekteen | sudo | 23:02 |
| tekteen | !root | 23:02 |
| ubotu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:02 |
| Eirikeb | so im not supposed to be able to write su, then enter the password? | 23:03 |
| tekteen | no | 23:03 |
| tekteen | write sudo | 23:03 |
| tekteen | then your password | 23:03 |
| Eirikeb | okay, then the problem is that administrator mode doesnt work, it just sends me back to kcontrol | 23:03 |
| tekteen | ok | 23:03 |
| tekteen | on that you just use you password | 23:04 |
| Eirikeb | tried the solutions google gave me | 23:04 |
| Eirikeb | mhm | 23:04 |
| Eirikeb | done several times | 23:04 |
| hola | i need help to configure my webcam | 23:04 |
| tekteen | ok | 23:04 |
| tekteen | is this the first user you installed? | 23:04 |
| soussou | hi guys | 23:04 |
| Eirikeb | well, the problem startet when I changed the name of the first user to admin (old name eirik) | 23:05 |
| Eirikeb | and then created a new user called, gues whatt eirik | 23:05 |
| soussou | I am trying to have a simple qt4 application run on my box | 23:05 |
| tekteen | ok | 23:05 |
| Eirikeb | then kubuntu asked what I wanted to do with the old /home/eirik so I just took the choice which deleted and recreated the folder | 23:05 |
| tekteen | Eirikeb: can you post your /etc/goups | 23:06 |
| soussou | I am using codeblocks as my main IDE, I installed libqt4-dev from the repos, but when I try searching for the actual library files for qt4, I find nothing, the include files are all there, but no library files | 23:06 |
| soussou | anyone knows where those libs are? | 23:06 |
| soussou | normally development library files are in /usr/lib/package-name | 23:07 |
| tekteen | Eirikeb: do you know what the pastebin is? | 23:07 |
| soussou | but when I tried searching for library files for qt4, i found nothing in /usr/lib/qt4 | 23:07 |
| tekteen | Eirikeb: no wait | 23:07 |
| Eirikeb | more or less | 23:07 |
| Eirikeb | got no folder called groups | 23:07 |
| Eirikeb | : o | 23:07 |
| soussou | anybody has any ideas as to where those libs are? | 23:07 |
| tekteen | Eirikeb: when you use admin | 23:07 |
| Vermux | so whatz up? | 23:07 |
| Eirikeb | I cant even log onto him using GUI | 23:07 |
| tekteen | Eirikeb: do you try to use admin mode as the user erik? | 23:08 |
| Eirikeb | get some error | 23:08 |
| Eirikeb | and the cause of the error (google says so) is that I didnt create a new folder for that user/deleted that user's folder | 23:08 |
| tekteen | Eirikeb: admin mode only works as a user who is an admin (even if you know the password) | 23:08 |
| Eirikeb | ah, thats logical | 23:09 |
| Konner | .... | 23:09 |
| Konner | Ima install Ubuntu im sick of Kubntu | 23:09 |
| tekteen | Eirikeb: sudo is not made for this purpose | 23:09 |
| Eirikeb | but how do I change that, because right now I cant get my admin account (the old "1st" account) to work | 23:09 |
| soussou | anybody has any ideas where the qy4 libraries actually are? I tried building simple qt4 apps, but I can't find those damn libraries, include files are all there, but no object library files | 23:10 |
| tekteen | Eirikeb: I will look it up | 23:10 |
| tekteen | Eirikeb: why do you want a separate admin user? | 23:11 |
| Eirikeb | message I get when I try to log on as eirik using KDE: "Could not start kstartupconfig. Check your installation | 23:11 |
| Eirikeb | I don't want a seperate admin user, I want the admin user to be the administrator, but I cant do that since I can't log onto him | 23:11 |
| tekteen | Eirikeb: open a konsole and type su admin | 23:12 |
| tekteen | Eirikeb: we are going to make erik an admin | 23:12 |
| Eirikeb | ctrol-alt-f1? | 23:12 |
| tekteen | why not | 23:12 |
| Eirikeb | okay, kubuntu login: _ | 23:13 |
| tekteen | login as erick | 23:13 |
| Eirikeb | okay | 23:13 |
| tekteen | eirik | 23:13 |
| Eirikeb | yeah, thats done | 23:13 |
| tekteen | now type su admin | 23:13 |
| tekteen | type in the admin pass | 23:13 |
| Eirikeb | okay, logged on as admin now | 23:14 |
| * tekteen is looking up the command | 23:14 | |
| venik | I have a really dumb question: how do I start matlab after I have installed it? I can do it from the terminal by typing matlab in the /opt/matlab/bin folder, but I want to be able to click on an icon to start it | 23:15 |
| tekteen | Eirikeb: usermod -a admin eirik | 23:15 |
| Eirikeb | that prints awhole lot of options | 23:15 |
| tekteen | ok | 23:16 |
| Ors | Hi there, I am new to kubuntu and I have some problem with the installation | 23:16 |
| Eirikeb | -a, --append append the user to the supplemental groups | 23:16 |
| tekteen | Eirikeb: usermod -aG admin eirik | 23:16 |
| tekteen | sorry | 23:16 |
| tekteen | Ors: what is the problem | 23:17 |
| Ors | at one point I receive a message that busybox etc. and enter help for a list of build-in commands. However, there is no error message | 23:17 |
| Eirikeb | usermod: unable to lock password file | 23:17 |
| Vermux | so what do u think about Firestarter? | 23:17 |
| tekteen | ok | 23:17 |
| tekteen | Eirikeb: sudo... | 23:18 |
| Eirikeb | I had the same problem, fixed it by reinnstalling from an alternate disc, instead of live cd | 23:18 |
| Eirikeb | heh | 23:18 |
| Eirikeb | okay, no error message, so I guess it worked | 23:18 |
| tekteen | ok | 23:18 |
| tekteen | type exit | 23:18 |
| tekteen | then type groups | 23:19 |
| Ors | tekteen: what shall I type? | 23:19 |
| tekteen | Ors: no idea | 23:19 |
| cbo | after upgrading to kde-3.5.9 i cannot check 'mount as user' external drives. now it mounts as root:root a can not write on it... any help is wellcome please | 23:19 |
| tekteen | Ors: do not know the error | 23:19 |
| Eirikeb | ors, look what I did to fix it, worked for me at least | 23:19 |
| Eirikeb | groups -> eirik_1 dialout cdrom floppy audio video plugdev sanner lpadmin | 23:20 |
| Eirikeb | sanner=scanner | 23:20 |
| tekteen | Eirikeb: logout | 23:20 |
| tekteen | log back in | 23:20 |
| tekteen | now try groups | 23:20 |
| Eirikeb | the same plus lpadmin admin | 23:21 |
| Eirikeb | thats good yes? | 23:21 |
| tekteen | cool | 23:21 |
| Ors | Eirikeb: what did you do? | 23:21 |
| yao_ziyuan | there are packages removed but actually whose installation files are still cached on the hard disk. how do i clear them? | 23:21 |
| tekteen | now go log in to the gui | 23:21 |
| tekteen | and try it | 23:21 |
| tekteen | if you are logged in... log out then in | 23:21 |
| Eirikeb | Ors: I re-installed. I got the same error message while using a live CD, so I just figured i'd try to install with an alternate cd, and that worked | 23:22 |
| tekteen | you will now be able to use your password as admin | 23:22 |
| Eirikeb | log in to the guy as in: startx? | 23:22 |
| tekteen | bye | 23:22 |
| tekteen | yes | 23:22 |
| Eirikeb | okay, goodbye, thanks for the help. I owe you a beer : D | 23:22 |
| tekteen | I am underage :-) | 23:22 |
| venik | can anyone tell me how to make the matlab starting script execut from a clickable icon? | 23:22 |
| Eirikeb | not that startx works : P | 23:22 |
| Ors | Eirikeb: tx | 23:22 |
| tekteen | give me beer! | 23:23 |
| tekteen | bye | 23:23 |
| Eirikeb | Server is allready active for display 0 | 23:23 |
| Eirikeb | bye | 23:23 |
| Eirikeb | <3 | 23:23 |
| Vermux | who recommend on Firestarter? | 23:23 |
| venik | what does katapult do? | 23:23 |
| swatto | whts the command to remove packages please? | 23:24 |
| swatto | apt-remove or or something? | 23:24 |
| Eirikeb | good luck Ors : D | 23:24 |
| venik | apt-get remove package | 23:24 |
| swatto | cheers | 23:24 |
| venik | apt-get remove packagename | 23:24 |
| prince_jammys | venik: katapult is a launcher. it also finds indexed files in your homedir i think. | 23:24 |
| venik | I clicked on it, saw the sling picture, and then it disappeared | 23:25 |
| prince_jammys | venik : do alt space | 23:25 |
| prince_jammys | venik: and then type something like "konq" | 23:25 |
| prince_jammys | venik: and you hit enter to run the app | 23:26 |
| venik | nice-- thanks | 23:26 |
| venik | but it does not work with the matlab launching script | 23:26 |
| prince_jammys | venik: it doesn't work with everything. i don't really use it, so i don't know what the exact criteria are | 23:27 |
| venik | how do I kill it? | 23:27 |
| venik | I don't want it running in the background | 23:27 |
| prince_jammys | venik: not sure | 23:28 |
| prince_jammys | venik: probably somewhere in .kde or in /usr/share/autostart, or maybe thru system-settings | 23:28 |
| venik | ok | 23:28 |
| prince_jammys | how about that for a straight answer | 23:28 |
| venik | I still don't know how to start matlab from an icon... ;-( | 23:29 |
| prince_jammys | you mean create a launcher for it? | 23:29 |
| _Angelus_ | guys | 23:29 |
| venik | yes (I guess) | 23:29 |
| psilocyde | help with setting up a good sources.list file? | 23:29 |
| _Angelus_ | when the new version of kuubuntu is out, would i be able to upgrade without rebooting? | 23:29 |
| prince_jammys | venik: is "matlab" the name of an executable? meaning can you run it from a terminal | 23:30 |
| sam64 | how would I go about changing the way Konqueror sorts files? | 23:30 |
| venik | If I am in the right folder, and type matlab, it runs | 23:30 |
| venik | but if I press alt space and type it, it does nothing | 23:30 |
| prince_jammys | sam64: view->sort | 23:31 |
| prince_jammys | venik: try making a launcher for it in the K menuy | 23:31 |
| sam64 | prince_jammys: I want to change the way it does it though. It doesn't sort numbers properly. | 23:31 |
| venik | prince-- I don't see how to create a launcher from the K menu | 23:32 |
| prince_jammys | sam64 i think i know what you mean. it sorts them as strings and not numerically, right? | 23:32 |
| sam64 | prince_jammys: something like that | 23:32 |
| sam64 | prince_jammys: I remember there being a setting, but I don't remember where :\ | 23:33 |
| prince_jammys | venik: first click on the menu, then right click on the menu and click on "edit menu" | 23:33 |
| prince_jammys | venik: once you're in the menu editor, create new item and make the command for that item be "matlab" | 23:33 |
| prince_jammys | sam64: yeah i don't know either | 23:34 |
| sam64 | :\ | 23:34 |

| psilocyde | I have a fresh kubuntu install here, need help with verry low sound | 23:52 |
| bizzeh | anyone know why kubuntu doesnt work properly on a widescreen | 23:52 |
| venik | psil- have u tried the volume control? | 23:53 |
| psilocyde | lol | 23:53 |
| psilocyde | yes | 23:53 |
| psilocyde | ty | 23:53 |
| psilocyde | thats a fair question | 23:53 |
| venik | the mixer, I mean, not the one on your sound system | 23:53 |
| psilocyde | yes | 23:53 |
| psilocyde | all jacked to 10 | 23:53 |
| psilocyde | and its barely audible | 23:54 |
| bizzeh | you plugged into the speaker out, and not the line out? | 23:54 |
| psilocyde | yes | 23:54 |
| psilocyde | i had this problem before | 23:54 |
| psilocyde | its a bug | 23:54 |
| psilocyde | but i dont remeber how to fix it | 23:54 |
| venik | the sound in kubuntu is rather flaky, in my experience | 23:55 |
| psilocyde | ya | 23:55 |
| venik | it often disappears entirely | 23:55 |
| psilocyde | i see | 23:55 |
| psilocyde | well | 23:55 |
| venik | and I reboot to bring it back, as in the WINDOZ days | 23:55 |
| psilocyde | ya, that dodnt help me. | 23:55 |
| psilocyde | low on every boot | 23:56 |
| bizzeh | hmmn | 23:56 |
| bizzeh | kubuntu installs half as much data than vista | 23:56 |
| bizzeh | vista installs in half the time | 23:56 |
| bizzeh | and everything works | 23:56 |
| xxBasYxx | how to play dvd from VIDEO_TS dir on kub? | 23:56 |
| bizzeh | ubuntu doesnt recognise my gfx card, and when i got it to do, it wont pick up my full resolution | 23:56 |
| bizzeh | and now the installer has crashed out on grub install | 23:57 |
| psilocyde | vista costs many dollars and comes with a drm hypervisor | 23:57 |
| psilocyde | so what ever | 23:58 |
| bizzeh | doesnt cost alot when you buy OEM | 23:58 |
| bizzeh | and doesnt have a drm hypervisor at all | 23:58 |
| psilocyde | oy | 23:58 |
| bizzeh | thats FOSS hippie communistic bullshit | 23:58 |
| psilocyde | oh really? | 23:58 |
| bizzeh | spread by assholes just to try and damage peoples opinion | 23:58 |
| psilocyde | i wont argue it with you but read the documentation | 23:59 |
| roomy | can somebody give me some support ? i've just installed squid (proxy server) but i can't find it im really unexperienced in using linux ... | 23:59 |
| bizzeh | documentation and actual implementation, are two different things | 23:59 |
