| psilocyde | its in the damn kernal | 00:04 |
| psilocyde | ok sorry | 00:04 |
| psilocyde | your right nick my appolagies | 00:04 |
| NickPresta | if you need help, that's fine, but this isn't the place to argue about Vista versus GNU+Linux. | 00:04 |
| psilocyde | yes i need help with this low sound thing | 00:05 |
| NickPresta | psilocyde, try typing in 'alsamixer' into a terminal and making sure your volume is all the way up | 00:06 |
| NickPresta | check out !sound too | 00:06 |
| psilocyde | ok master is at 00 | 00:07 |
| psilocyde | how do i get that to 10? | 00:08 |
| sergiu | use google | 00:08 |
| sergiu | ;> | 00:08 |
| NickPresta | If you look at the bottom where it says Master or PCM, etc. There should be red brackets on either side of the 'selected' channel. Make sure there are red brackets surrounding the Master channel. Then just press the up arrows. | 00:09 |
| psilocyde | oh ok thanks | 00:09 |
| psilocyde | ok that works for all of them eccept master | 00:10 |
| psilocyde | !sound | 00:11 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 00:11 |
| NickPresta | psilocyde, hmm. I don't know anything off-hand that could be causing that. See if you can spot an applicable solution in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 00:11 |

| psilocyde | hey folks, i think i may have found the answer to my problem | 00:29 |
| NickPresta | Dark-Alien-Core, you need the `convert` utility. Install the imagemagick package: sudo apt-get install imagemagick | 00:29 |

| Dark-Alien-Core | ah very thx | 00:30 |
| psilocyde | thats for gtk right? | 00:30 |
| NickPresta | psilocyde, kdesudo instead of gksudo. You can use kate instead of gedit | 00:30 |
| psilocyde | ok thanks | 00:30 |
| Daisuke_Ido | psilocyde: nothing save gedit there is gtk specific | 00:31 |

| r240 | nothing has worked | 00:32 |
| tekteen | acee1234: add this to /etc/sudoers using visudo. This will allow you not to use a password for some commands. %admin ALL= NOPASSWD: PROGRAM1,PROGRAM2,ect | 00:33 |
| NickPresta | r240, you need to provide more information. If you need to, pastebin your full, detailed question and post it here with a summary of your problem | 00:33 |

| r240 | it's detected and everything | 00:35 |
| mrunagi | is kubuntu good with sata.........or does it typically need drivers | 00:35 |
| r240 | i THINK i loaded the module | 00:35 |
| tekteen | acee1234: np | 00:35 |
| feierfox | is there an ubuntu off-topic-channel? | 00:35 |
| acee1234 | if no one knows how to fix a graphics driver issue here were might i ask ive been trying to get it fixed for a week and it worked for a while so i know it should be possible to fix | 00:35 |
| tekteen | mrunagi: good | 00:35 |
| tekteen | feierfox: (k)ubuntu-offtopic | 00:35 |
| Konner | Im going to try openSUSE .. | 00:35 |
| feierfox | hmm, in an offtopic channel for the *buntuusers it makes no sense, to seperate both | 00:36 |
| feierfox | there should be only one offtopic channel | 00:36 |
| * feierfox so he said | 00:36 | |
| tekteen | ok | 00:36 |
| NickPresta | Konner, you've posted twice in this channel that you're switching from Kubuntu to something else. Any reason why you keep telling us? :) | 00:36 |
| tekteen | well... whatever | 00:36 |
| r240 | what's the cmd for listing devices? spci -v? | 00:37 |
| NickPresta | feierfox, KDE users and Gnome users don't get along, duh ;) | 00:37 |
| tekteen | lspci | 00:37 |
| feierfox | oh, i forget | 00:37 |
| feierfox | :D | 00:37 |
| r240 | what about modules? modl? | 00:37 |
| feierfox | GNOME users a mostly trolls | 00:37 |
| feierfox | i in a kubuntu-channel here, so i think it is ok to say something like this | 00:38 |
| feierfox | :O | 00:38 |
| feierfox | i'm | 00:38 |
| tekteen | you have been taught well | 00:38 |
| feierfox | but we are the unwanted kind | 00:38 |
| MrJoey | r240> lspci and lsmod | 00:38 |
| r240 | thanks | 00:39 |
| feierfox | we don't got LTS | 00:39 |
| feierfox | :´ | 00:39 |
| feierfox | :´( | 00:39 |
| MrJoey | -v makes lspci verbose | 00:39 |
| MrJoey | How do I extract a Kubuntu Live CD, edit some scripts, and put it back together? I know how to mount and recursive copy, but how do I get the boot stuff, too? | 00:40 |
| feierfox | needs KDE3.5x more resources than GNOME 2.2x? | 00:40 |
| tekteen | MrJoey: I will find the wiki page | 00:41 |
| MrJoey | Thank you | 00:41 |
| acee1234 | so fastest solution for graphics issue is reformat? | 00:42 |
| tekteen | MrJoey: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 00:42 |
| tekteen | MrJoey: what do you want to edit? | 00:43 |
| tekteen | MrJoey: I have done it before :-) | 00:43 |
| Arwen | feierfox, less actually | 00:43 |
| Arwen | though running Firefox will easily make up that difference... | 00:43 |
| r240 | no sound even though everything looks fine. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57646/ | 00:43 |
| acee1234 | tekteen: how do i edit through that all i see is mode commands | 00:44 |
| * tekteen does not understand | 00:44 | |
| tekteen | acee1234: what do you mean? | 00:45 |
| MrJoey | This would be the best case: I'd like a live CD that will have a new menu option which will go to the single user level, then run a script (which will image a hard drive with a 2.4GB .gz file and a few tiny files). | 00:45 |
| acee1234 | tekteen: how do i add lines to the sudoers file through visudo i dont see an edit option in the man | 00:45 |
| BluesKaj | heh, after this language pack fiasco .. a few good things took place subsequent to the clean install. Konq actaully does flash, java and xine quite well | 00:46 |
| tekteen | acee1234: type visudo | 00:46 |
| rodolfo | como era el canal en español? | 00:46 |
| MrJoey | Although if creating a new menu option would be hard, it would be acceptable to simply replace the single user mode | 00:46 |
| acee1234 | tekteen: ....im going to bash my head on a wall now | 00:46 |

| tekteen | ? | 00:48 |
| tekteen | what happened | 00:48 |
| tekteen | acee1234: explain what is going on | 00:49 |
| MrJoey | What does the "rsync --exclude=/casper/filesystem.squashfs -a mnt/ extract-cd" do? It ran rather quickly. Did it create a bunch of hardlinks for the files instead of deep copying? | 00:50 |
| tekteen | no | 00:50 |
| tekteen | it excludes the big thing | 00:50 |
| tekteen | and copies everything else | 00:50 |
| server_ | hi | 00:51 |
| acee1234 | tekteen: when i reboot the screen goes to a console like thing several times then i get an x-server BSOD then thats goes away when you tell it not to debug then it tries a few more times and eventually comes up with a dialog telling me im in low graphics mode. | 00:51 |
| MrJoey | ah | 00:51 |
| tekteen | acee1234: I have no idea | 00:52 |
| r240 | i have 44k songs and no sound. please help http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57647/ | 00:53 |
| acee1234 | tekteen: seems a common response seems reformat is the general consensus | 00:53 |
| tekteen | acee1234: I do not like to say that | 00:53 |
| acee1234 | tekteen: suggestions, for alternative? | 00:54 |
| tekteen | acee1234: I try to stop people when they are about to (if I know how to fix it) but never recommend it | 00:54 |
| tekteen | acee1234: first off... are you in canada | 00:54 |

| MrJoey | When the [K]ubuntu Live CD starts, how does the "single" argument trickle down so that the runlevel is set accordingly? | 01:03 |
| nosredna_ekim | MrJoey» hum.... don't know. Did you get your boot device stuff all sorted out? | 01:03 |
| tekteen | MrJoey: runlevel is set in /etc/init.d/rc | 01:03 |
| acee1234 | tekteen: no such section exists | 01:04 |
| tekteen | acee1234: ok | 01:04 |
| tekteen | so | 01:04 |
| tekteen | add these 3 lines to the bottom | 01:04 |

| acee1234 | tekteen: ok | 01:06 |
| tekteen | acee1234: save and restart x | 01:06 |
| BluesKaj | prince_jammys: one thing good that came out of that mess was konq is no longer crashing and nspluginviewer isn't as unstable as it was | 01:06 |
| acee1234 | tekteen: i cant restart x without crashing so ill reboot brb | 01:06 |
| prince_jammys | BluesKaj: good. i don't have those problems, thankfully | 01:07 |
| prince_jammys | BluesKaj: funny thing is i was about to install the updates when i saw your post here | 01:07 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, I think that was a problem with kde 3.5.9 | 01:07 |
| BluesKaj | well forwarned is forarmed :) | 01:08 |
| tekteen | BluesKaj: I never had the problem | 01:08 |
| prince_jammys | i'm pretty wary of updates in general | 01:08 |
| BluesKaj | blessing in disguise for me | 01:09 |

| purge_kdewallet | any other ideas khaije1? | 02:09 |
| Dragnslcr | purge_kdewallet- in kvpnc, go to Settings -> Configure kvpnc -> General | 02:09 |
| purge_kdewallet | i keep unchecking that | 02:10 |
| khaije1 | purge_kdewallet: whats the exact message you get? | 02:10 |
| purge_kdewallet | it doesn't save it | 02:10 |
| purge_kdewallet | that was it above | 02:10 |
| tanner | nosredna_ekim: perhaps you mean libqt4-dev, however that is already installed | 02:10 |
| purge_kdewallet | i'll repost here: | 02:10 |
| purge_kdewallet | Package kde-pwmanager is not installed, so not removed | 02:10 |
| nosredna_ekim | tanner» so whats missing? | 02:10 |
| khaije1 | purge_kdewallet: no, when you try that for kallet | 02:11 |
| nosredna_ekim | tanner» I was meaning qt3 programs...but that works for qt4 | 02:11 |
| tanner | nosredna_ekim: there is no such package for qt3 however | 02:11 |
| Dragnslcr | purge_kdewallet- that option stays checked? | 02:11 |
| purge_kdewallet | in kvpnc | 02:11 |
| purge_kdewallet | the option in kvpnc to use kwallet won't save me unchecking using it | 02:11 |
| tanner | hmm i may have found it | 02:12 |
| Dragnslcr | purge_kdewallet- I remember having problems with kvpnc not saving settings, so I think that problem is specific to kvpnc | 02:12 |
| purge_kdewallet | that is why i want to purge kwallet | 02:12 |
| purge_kdewallet | so it will never bring up this stupid bot-like program again | 02:12 |
| tanner | damn | 02:12 |
| khaije1 | purge_kdewallet: i need to go but i would say verify your package manager is in a consistent state | 02:13 |

| purge_kdewallet | its like an ftp over ssh | 02:14 |
| purge_kdewallet | yeah, i tried that | 02:14 |
| purge_kdewallet | here is what i get | 02:15 |
| Arwen | how does one get "fish" from "scp"? | 02:15 |
| purge_kdewallet | Package kwalletmanager is not installed, so not removed | 02:15 |
| Arwen | or more likely "sftp" | 02:15 |
| purge_kdewallet | yeah, one of those | 02:15 |
| Dragnslcr | purge_kdewallet- what does the entry in Adept say? | 02:15 |
| purge_kdewallet | fish is the protocol konqueror uses to access that through scp, or sftp | 02:15 |
| purge_kdewallet | Adept, I don't have that installed | 02:16 |
| purge_kdewallet | i am using Xubuntu | 02:16 |

| purge_kdewallet | i am running Xubuntu | 02:16 |
| purge_kdewallet | not KDE X | 02:16 |
| Dragnslcr | Installing kvpnc was probably not a good idea then | 02:17 |

| purge_kdewallet | it keeps bugging me with kvpnc | 02:23 |

| purge_kdewallet | its on the system somewhere | 02:24 |
| purge_kdewallet | because the GUI still bugs me | 02:24 |
| purge_kdewallet | could it be part of the kde network manager? | 02:25 |

| purge_kdewallet | under /usr/bin? | 02:25 |
| purge_kdewallet | no such file | 02:25 |
| purge_kdewallet | kwall* | 02:25 |
| Arwen | kwallet is in kwalletmanager.... | 02:25 |

| purge_kdewallet | thats when i try to remove using apt-get | 02:27 |
| Dragnslcr | I doubt that kwallet is actually running, since it clearly isn't on your system | 02:27 |
| purge_kdewallet | let me open kvpnc and give you what is in the GUi | 02:28 |
| Dragnslcr | I find it more likely that kvpnc is complaining about not being able to find kwalletmanager | 02:28 |
| purge_kdewallet | i would too imagine that would be the case | 02:28 |
| Dragnslcr | kvpnc seemed to be a bit buggy when I tried it | 02:28 |

| purge_kdewallet | Scott7, try a sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 02:45 |
| purge_kdewallet | have you tried that yet? | 02:45 |
| Scott7 | Thanks that got it | 02:46 |
| purge_kdewallet | Welcome! | 02:47 |
| purge_kdewallet | darn, i can't even purge kpvnc | 02:47 |
| purge_kdewallet | sudo apt-get purge kvpnc says it purges | 02:47 |
| purge_kdewallet | upon reinstall the configuration files are still there | 02:48 |
| willis_ | You are refering to the USERS config files? | 02:48 |
| willis_ | or system config files? | 02:49 |
| purge_kdewallet | both | 02:49 |
| purge_kdewallet | the purge should at least remove the users config files | 02:49 |
| purge_kdewallet | which is what i want first | 02:49 |
| purge_kdewallet | then if possible, the root's config files | 02:49 |
| willis_ | lets clarify.. removiung packages with the package manager will NOT NOT NOT touch config files in the users home dirs. | 02:50 |
| purge_kdewallet | darn, thats a shame | 02:50 |
| willis_ | and thus.. Not touch config files in the /root/ dir either | 02:50 |
| purge_kdewallet | it should have a -override flag | 02:50 |
| willis_ | Its not a shame..it would be a disaster if it did otherwise. :) | 02:50 |
| purge_kdewallet | well, maybe, there should be a way to purge a software's configure files | 02:50 |
| willis_ | 'oops the root user just removed my .vimrc' i spent 4 yrs making... :) | 02:51 |
| willis_ | Now the prolifferation of config files in the users home dir - is getting to be an issue. | 02:51 |
| purge_kdewallet | i hate having to clean it myself | 02:51 |
| purge_kdewallet | after removing programs, its like taking out the trash | 02:52 |
| purge_kdewallet | dpkg purges files | 02:53 |
| purge_kdewallet | not apt-get, forgot that both have purge commands, yet they do different things i think | 02:53 |
| willis_ | they both remove the system config files... | 02:57 |
| willis_ | not user config files. | 02:57 |
| purge_kdewallet | oh, ok | 02:57 |
| willis_ | and even THEN they 'should' (i think) backup config files you have changed manually | 02:58 |
| purge_kdewallet | i think the less auto, the better | 02:58 |
| willis_ | In linux rember 'users and the system' are as seperated as they can get it. | 02:58 |
| purge_kdewallet | yeah, /home | 02:58 |
| purge_kdewallet | and other dirs in the root / | 02:58 |
| willis_ | and YES the users home dirs are getting way way too cluttered with 10000+ .config files. | 02:58 |
| willis_ | every little trivial app makes a .whatever config file it seems | 02:59 |
| purge_kdewallet | yeah, and doesn't necessarily clean it | 02:59 |
| ForzaPalermo | anyone here good with getting ssh working properly? i am trying to get it to work using public/private keys | 03:01 |
| purge_kdewallet | ForzaPalermo: are you trying to change the size of the ssh keys | 03:02 |
| Arwen | I'm writing a shell script and I want it to pause for an arbitrary length of time (like 10 seconds) | 03:03 |
| Arwen | how would I do that? | 03:03 |
| NickPresta | Arwen, `sleep`? | 03:03 |
| Arwen | ah, yes, that's what I was thinking of | 03:03 |
| NickPresta | :) | 03:03 |
| ForzaPalermo | purge_kdewallet, no | 03:04 |
| ForzaPalermo | i got ssh to work without the keys | 03:04 |
| purge_kdewallet | wow | 03:04 |
| ForzaPalermo | but with them i have errors | 03:04 |
| purge_kdewallet | i didn't think that was possible with ssh | 03:05 |
| purge_kdewallet | so its like a telnet session? | 03:05 |
| ForzaPalermo | purge_kdewallet, ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused | 03:05 |
| ForzaPalermo | thats what i get when i type SSH LOCALHOST | 03:05 |
| ForzaPalermo | but im not using port 22 | 03:05 |
| purge_kdewallet | that is using keys | 03:06 |
| ForzaPalermo | and i dont have port 22 in the config file | 03:06 |
| purge_kdewallet | oh, ok, i was just about to suggest checking that config file | 03:06 |
| purge_kdewallet | you know you have to edit the /etc/ssh/sshd.conf, not ssh.conf | 03:06 |
| clinton | hrm.. no #kubuntu+1 channel eh? | 03:06 |
| ForzaPalermo | yes | 03:06 |
| purge_kdewallet | okay, just checking | 03:06 |
| purge_kdewallet | (common problems) | 03:07 |
| Dragnslcr | ForzaPalermo- if you don't specify a different port, ssh will try to connect on port 22 | 03:07 |
| ForzaPalermo | Dragnslcr, i did | 03:07 |
| purge_kdewallet | yeah, i have had the same problem | 03:07 |
| ForzaPalermo | specfiy a diff port | 03:07 |
| purge_kdewallet | yeah, i had to use the -p 22 to let it use the default | 03:07 |
| ForzaPalermo | i ran a sudo nmap localhost | 03:08 |
| ForzaPalermo | and under the port i use | 03:08 |
| ForzaPalermo | it says unknown | 03:08 |
| purge_kdewallet | thats really odd, i would play with the config file | 03:08 |
| purge_kdewallet | try putting port 0 and a port larger than 65535 | 03:08 |
| ForzaPalermo | what else is there to play with | 03:08 |
| purge_kdewallet | see if it gives the same error | 03:08 |

| purge_kdewallet | it might be a problem with the latest version of ssh | 03:09 |
| ForzaPalermo | so change ports u think? | 03:09 |
| purge_kdewallet | compilerwriter2: yes, ext3 | 03:09 |
| ForzaPalermo | or try it with 22? | 03:09 |
| ForzaPalermo | and see if it works | 03:09 |
| purge_kdewallet | i have tried changing ports | 03:09 |
| purge_kdewallet | and had the same problem you had | 03:09 |
| Y-Town | Can anyone please tell me how to make an application on your desktop use double click to work instead of single click in KDE? | 03:09 |
| compilerwriter2 | cool thanks purge_kdewallet | 03:10 |
| purge_kdewallet | and still have that same problem, but i would try changing the port to "0" or "65536" and see if you get the same error | 03:10 |
| purge_kdewallet | if it is the same error, its a bug in ssh | 03:10 |
| purge_kdewallet | if not, i don't know the answer | 03:10 |
| ForzaPalermo | ok ill give it a try | 03:10 |
| purge_kdewallet | you can always use socat for port redirection | 03:10 |
| purge_kdewallet | if you can't solve it | 03:10 |
| ForzaPalermo | ill be disc onnected a few timies | 03:10 |
| compilerwriter2 | Y-town why would you want to do that. I have fits whenever I am forced to use my wife's machine and have to remember to double click. | 03:10 |

| remedialjoe_ | my card just isn't good enough | 06:02 |
| solid_liq | do they look convincing tho? | 06:02 |
| remedialjoe_ | oh | 06:02 |
| remedialjoe_ | no its more like quake 1 | 06:02 |
| drarem | so you need 4Gb of ram to run ubuntu on a 64-bit amd? | 06:02 |
| remedialjoe_ | but heavily modified physics/ | 06:03 |
| remedialjoe_ | new weapons | 06:03 |
| solid_liq | drarem, lol no | 06:03 |
| solid_liq | cool | 06:03 |
| remedialjoe_ | solid_liq: ID software released the engine for quake for free | 06:03 |
| remedialjoe_ | solid_liq: and people built this game off it | 06:03 |
| solid_liq | oh okay, cool | 06:03 |
| remedialjoe_ | solid_liq: there is no gameplay like it that i have found | 06:03 |
| solid_liq | sweet :) | 06:03 |
| drarem | ok then still dont know why 7.10amd gives me black screen | 06:03 |
| drarem | puter is media center, and vista-media ready, maybe that is why | 06:04 |

| ubotu | On IRC, if you own a nick that is currently being used, you can make it quit by typing: /msg nickserv GHOST <username> <password> | 06:04 |
| remedialjoe_ | drarem: i had the same issue on my turion | 06:04 |
| remedialjoe_ | er | 06:04 |
| === kevin_ is now known as maduser | ||
| remedialjoe_ | drarem: Is it a Compaq? | 06:05 |
| remedialjoe_ | oh | 06:05 |
| remedialjoe_ | HP | 06:05 |
| remedialjoe_ | you said | 06:05 |
| drarem | HP m7640n | 06:05 |
| remedialjoe_ | same company basically.. hrmm | 06:05 |
| brian__ | Is there anyway to get Gwenview to change pictures faster? When I press to go to the next picture, it loads very slowly. | 06:06 |
| drarem | tomorrow will try 32-bit to make sure it's not this puter | 06:06 |
| Arwen | brian__, turn off resizing filters | 06:06 |
| brian__ | Arwen, how do I go about doing that? | 06:07 |
| ol_dude67 | how do you change the resolution on kubuntu, the window is bigger then my monitor. | 06:07 |
| Arwen | brian__, under settings, it's presented as "image smoothing" | 06:08 |
| regeya | meh. wife tells me that she was told that to get onto the campus wireless network 'you have to download something.' upon further inspection the only thing they mention is that you need the cisco vpn client(!) | 06:08 |
| remedialjoe_ | ol_dude67: do you have a video card driver installed? | 06:08 |
| regeya | wife's laptop is running kubuntu btw. | 06:09 |
| ol_dude67 | yes its an intel 9455gz | 06:09 |
| ol_dude67 | oops 945 | 06:09 |
| brian__ | Arwen, that does nothing. It had no effect at all | 06:09 |
| Arwen | eh? dunno then | 06:09 |
| regeya | why in the world would a vpn client be a requirement...meh, too late to think about it. | 06:09 |
| brian__ | Regardless of what setting I have it on, it still renders the image slowly. | 06:09 |
| remedialjoe_ | ol_dude67: hrmm i'm not sure if there is a configuration applet like nvidia.. hold on a sec.. did you try adjusting the resolution yet? | 06:09 |
| ol_dude67 | thats what im trying to find is the resolution but cant seem to find it. anywhere. | 06:10 |
| remedialjoe_ | ol_dude67: start/system settings/Monitor and DIsplay | 06:10 |
| remedialjoe_ | kmenu | 06:10 |
| remedialjoe_ | sorry | 06:10 |
| remedialjoe_ | *ducks | 06:10 |
| ol_dude67 | i was going to say its not there. | 06:11 |
| remedialjoe_ | =] | 06:11 |
| aib | KNetworkManager closes as soon as I open it. I never even see the interface. I tried opening it from the command line and from the debugger, but there seems to be no way that I can interact with it | 06:12 |
| ol_dude67 | i just rebooted and it was like what the heck happened then i remembered i switched to kdm instead of gdm and it threw it off. now i dont know where it was to fix it the last time. | 06:12 |
| remedialjoe_ | ol_dude67: did you find it?? | 06:13 |
| ol_dude67 | nope i have now monitor or display settings. | 06:13 |
| remedialjoe_ | Should be under "computer administration" | 06:14 |
| remedialjoe_ | under system settings | 06:14 |
| ol_dude67 | remedialjoe_, nope its not there. | 06:14 |
| remedialjoe_ | ol_dude67: that is very weird | 06:14 |
| remedialjoe_ | ol_dude67: try alt-f2 and launching "kcontrol | 06:15 |
| remedialjoe_ | ol_dude67: then on the left hand side click on Peripherals .. Then Monitor and Display *should be there | 06:15 |
| ol_dude67 | remedialjoe_, it wasnt installed i am installing it now. | 06:17 |
| ol_dude67 | thanks tho | 06:17 |
| remedialjoe_ | ol_dude67: how did you go about installing kde ? | 06:17 |
| ol_dude67 | apt-get | 06:17 |
| remedialjoe_ | ol_dude67: did you install the "kubuntu-desktop" package ? | 06:17 |
| ol_dude67 | ya | 06:17 |
| remedialjoe_ | very wacky | 06:17 |
| ol_dude67 | ya well i probably didnt do it right as im really use to slack. | 06:18 |
| purge_kdewallet | anyone know how to use dig? | 06:18 |
| remedialjoe_ | well "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" *should grab everything ou need to get goin .. hopefully just installing kcontrol works tho | 06:19 |
| ol_dude67 | ill let ya know here in a sec. | 06:20 |
| val0 | I am trying to compile a program and during the configure phase it checks to see if I have glib 2.0 or greater installed. It breaks telling me that I don't while the package manager tells me that I do... i am stuck | 06:20 |
| remedialjoe_ | val0: did you grab build-essentials ? | 06:21 |
| val0 | remedialjoe, sure did | 06:21 |
| remedialjoe_ | thats all i got on that subject sorry ;P | 06:22 |
| val0 | lol, thanks | 06:22 |
| purge_kdewallet | val0, what program are you trying to compile? | 06:22 |
| val0 | purge_kdewallet: irssi | 06:22 |
| purge_kdewallet | you know there is an ubuntu package for that? | 06:23 |
| purge_kdewallet | sudo apt-get install irssi | 06:23 |
| val0 | purge_kdewallet: yeh i do, just wanted to try and compile my own... learning process | 06:23 |
| purge_kdewallet | what was the exact error? | 06:24 |
| purge_kdewallet | did you download glib and try to compile that first, then irssi? | 06:24 |
| purge_kdewallet | for a beginner program, i would recommend trying to compile TOR | 06:24 |
| purge_kdewallet | https://torproject.org | 06:24 |
| ol_dude67 | remedialjoe_, after installing monitor and display i got the control for it.so it worked. | 06:24 |
| purge_kdewallet | its relatively easy on linux users using ubuntu | 06:24 |
| ol_dude67 | remedialjoe_, thanks for the help, i need to know what to look for so that way if i didnt have it i could install it. so thanks alot. | 06:25 |
| val0 | i believe that Glib was already preinstalled on my system, the error i get is: "Checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0. result: no error: GLIB is required to build irssi" | 06:25 |
| remedialjoe_ | ol_dude67: np .. i hope it works for you.. its kind of concerning me that it wasn't there from the start tho.. try installing the kubuntu-desktop package again if you can.. eithercase, good luck ! =] | 06:26 |
| purge_kdewallet | sometimes when you compile programs, having the program already installed through apt-get is not enough, you have to compile it manually | 06:26 |
| purge_kdewallet | especially for glib | 06:26 |
| purge_kdewallet | sometimes programs, such as irssi, might be looking for glib components in the wrong spot on your computer | 06:26 |
| ol_dude67 | oh i already changed the resolution and its back to its right size now. | 06:26 |
| val0 | ok maybe i am totally confused, but libglib2.0 is GLIB right? | 06:26 |
| remedialjoe_ | val0: try libglib2.0 | 06:27 |
| remedialjoe_ | er | 06:27 |
| remedialjoe_ | val0: try libglib2.0-dev | 06:27 |
| purge_kdewallet | yeah | 06:27 |
| remedialjoe_ | if that doesn't work i will shutup | 06:27 |
| purge_kdewallet | the dev is a good start too | 06:27 |
| val0 | ok will do | 06:27 |
| purge_kdewallet | remedialjoe, that is a good idea | 06:27 |
| remedialjoe_ | ty :D | 06:27 |
| purge_kdewallet | that fixes a lot of the problem | 06:27 |
| purge_kdewallet | *problems | 06:27 |
| remedialjoe_ | i try.. oh how i try | 06:27 |
| purge_kdewallet | you wouldn't happen to know how to use dig? | 06:28 |
| remedialjoe_ | never heard of it | 06:28 |
| purge_kdewallet | it is supposed to help diagnose dns problems | 06:28 |
| val0 | NICE! it worked. well sort of... i get a different error now which in my books mean progress! | 06:28 |
| remedialjoe_ | lol | 06:28 |
| remedialjoe_ | =] | 06:28 |
| purge_kdewallet | i can't lookup yahoo.com properly lol, its a dns problem | 06:29 |
| remedialjoe_ | purge_kdewallet: what are the issues you are having with it | 06:29 |
| remedialjoe_ | hrm | 06:29 |
| purge_kdewallet | my dns through vpn is failing on certain websites | 06:29 |
| Arwen | w00t, using a fullscreen transparent konsole + compiz snow = fun | 06:29 |
| purge_kdewallet | the websites that aren't going through their ip-v6 | 06:29 |
| remedialjoe_ | oh | 06:29 |
| remedialjoe_ | wow you are implementing ipv6 already.. you are bashful | 06:30 |
| purge_kdewallet | and i have to find the problem so i can get the tech people to fix it | 06:30 |
| purge_kdewallet | no, my school is | 06:30 |
| purge_kdewallet | its a *.edu | 06:30 |
| purge_kdewallet | *.edu = ipv6 | 06:30 |
| remedialjoe_ | word | 06:30 |
| remedialjoe_ | hmm | 06:30 |
| remedialjoe_ | it works on http://www.webmaster-toolkit.com/dig.shtml | 06:31 |
| remedialjoe_ | ;] | 06:31 |
| remedialjoe_ | heheh hrmm | 06:31 |
| purge_kdewallet | i'll have to take a look at that | 06:31 |
| purge_kdewallet | the manual is aweful | 06:32 |
| patrick__ | y'a des francais(québécois) ici .. | 06:32 |
| remedialjoe_ | looks like a few sites have web interfaces for it already | 06:32 |
| purge_kdewallet | hahaha | 06:32 |
| purge_kdewallet | i can't get to it | 06:32 |
| remedialjoe_ | the only thing i can think of | 06:32 |
| purge_kdewallet | its not on ipv6 | 06:32 |
| purge_kdewallet | do you have an ip for that? | 06:32 |
| remedialjoe_ | is your router set to use your schools dns servers? | 06:32 |
| purge_kdewallet | yeah | 06:32 |
| purge_kdewallet | i can't change the dns server to opendns either | 06:32 |
| val0 | thanks for all the help. it works now i can sleep in peace! | 06:32 |
| remedialjoe_ | val0: np . glad to help.. Cheers =] | 06:33 |
| purge_kdewallet | do you have the ip for that website | 06:33 |
| purge_kdewallet | ping <website here> will give you an ip | 06:33 |
| val0 | :) g'night all! | 06:33 |
| remedialjoe_ | 64.130.52.204 | 06:33 |
| purge_kdewallet | sweet | 06:33 |
| purge_kdewallet | that worked | 06:33 |
| remedialjoe_ | is anyone else having issues with the dns resolving? | 06:34 |
| remedialjoe_ | very weird you can't use opendns | 06:34 |
| purge_kdewallet | it has to do with the vpn certificate specifying the dns servers | 06:34 |
| purge_kdewallet | the vpn writes over the resolv.conf and doesn't allow you to change it and /etc/init.d/networking restart without breaking the vpn connection | 06:35 |
| purge_kdewallet | im bookmarking that page! | 06:35 |
| remedialjoe_ | hehehe .. ij ust googled "dig online utility" | 06:35 |
| remedialjoe_ | but glad it helps | 06:36 |
| remedialjoe_ | uhm | 06:36 |
| remedialjoe_ | hrmm | 06:36 |
| remedialjoe_ | i'm pretyy interested now in the vpn issue | 06:36 |
| remedialjoe_ | hmmm | 06:36 |
| remedialjoe_ | did you have to setup a vpn connection on your router.. and/or the schools firewall? | 06:37 |
| remedialjoe_ | or did they just open the port for you | 06:37 |
| purge_kdewallet | its setup for the whole school | 06:37 |
| purge_kdewallet | this is the only computer having the dns issue | 06:37 |
| purge_kdewallet | the resolv.conf and everything looks okay | 06:37 |
| purge_kdewallet | but the dig results are not good | 06:38 |

| purge_kdewallet | and i can't sudo apt-get update because of that | 06:41 |
| purge_kdewallet | that a bad problem with ubuntu | 06:43 |
| purge_kdewallet | their repositories are all DNS!!!! None of them are IPs for people without DNS!!! | 06:43 |

| Hydrogen | what..? | 06:45 |
| remedialjoe_ | have you tried this for firefox? | 06:45 |
| remedialjoe_ | Type about:config in firefox URL field | 06:45 |
| remedialjoe_ | filter ipv6 | 06:45 |
| remedialjoe_ | set network.dns.disableIPv6 to true | 06:45 |
| remedialjoe_ | that might solve websurfing issues but not other appz | 06:46 |
| purge_kdewallet | i have tried all browsers | 06:46 |
| purge_kdewallet | well, two: konqueror and firefox | 06:46 |
| remedialjoe_ | with disabling ipv6 dns? | 06:46 |
| remedialjoe_ | hrmmmm | 06:46 |
| Hydrogen | ;; SERVER: 149.84.147.111#53(149.84.147.111) <-- us.archive.ubuntu.com | 06:47 |
| purge_kdewallet | its not only web surfing that is affected | 06:47 |
| purge_kdewallet | i can't even ping | 06:47 |
| remedialjoe_ | i understand | 06:47 |
| remedialjoe_ | but i am reading that this might work for web surfing but not other appz | 06:47 |
| remedialjoe_ | might be a step closer | 06:47 |
| remedialjoe_ | *keeps reading | 06:47 |
| purge_kdewallet | i am using ssh to bypass lots of it | 06:47 |
| remedialjoe_ | The solution is to edit /etc/dhc3/dhclient.conf and unremark the line "prepend...." and replace the default dns with your ISP's dns. | 06:47 |
| purge_kdewallet | i can just do an ssh me@server -X to bring up the web browser remotely | 06:47 |
| remedialjoe_ | ^^ | 06:47 |
| purge_kdewallet | thats a good idea | 06:48 |
| remedialjoe_ | found at : http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-77648.html | 06:48 |
| purge_kdewallet | but its getting the dhcp from the server over dhcp | 06:48 |
| purge_kdewallet | over vpn i mean | 06:48 |
| purge_kdewallet | resolv.conf is for dns, the dhclient should be for dhcp, which can redirect dns requests to the router | 06:49 |
| purge_kdewallet | but in my case the router is remove because of the vpn | 06:49 |
| purge_kdewallet | if i were the vpn programmer, i probably would lock that file down as well as the resolv.conf | 06:49 |
| remedialjoe_ | "It's interresting that ubuntu is not able to configure it's IP DNS from the router. " | 06:50 |
| remedialjoe_ | try it | 06:50 |
| remedialjoe_ | see if it sticks | 06:50 |
| remedialjoe_ | Ubuntu has a newer Internet protocol called IPv6 turned on by default. However, some hardware — such as NICs and modems — shows broken behavior when exposed to IPv6 related DNS requests. This leaves you wondering why DNS resolution seems slower or doesn't work at all. | 06:51 |
| remedialjoe_ | maybe a different NIC ? | 06:51 |
| remedialjoe_ | ;/ | 06:51 |
| purge_kdewallet | i am getting some problems with my network card too | 06:52 |
| purge_kdewallet | its dropping an average of 25% of packets | 06:52 |
| purge_kdewallet | i think that is a separate problem though | 06:52 |
| remedialjoe_ | konversation crashed | 06:52 |
| remedialjoe_ | but i got the last msg i think | 06:52 |
| remedialjoe_ | it could be the culprit | 06:52 |
| remedialjoe_ | 25% packet loss | 06:53 |

| remedialjoe_ | OUCH | 06:53 |
| remedialjoe_ | unacceptable | 06:53 |
| purge_kdewallet | i think i need to call my isp | 06:53 |
| purge_kdewallet | its with or without the vpn | 06:53 |
| remedialjoe_ | i'd try a different cable | 06:53 |
| remedialjoe_ | or nic first | 06:53 |
| remedialjoe_ | thats all they will tell u | 06:53 |
| purge_kdewallet | its wifi | 06:53 |
| purge_kdewallet | but its a strong signal | 06:53 |
| remedialjoe_ | what kind is it | 06:54 |
| purge_kdewallet | 802.11g | 06:54 |
| remedialjoe_ | sorry model/brand | 06:54 |
| remedialjoe_ | usb/pci ? | 06:54 |
| purge_kdewallet | intel 2200/bg | 06:54 |
| purge_kdewallet | internal | 06:54 |
| remedialjoe_ | ping your router | 06:54 |
| remedialjoe_ | any packet loss? | 06:54 |
| purge_kdewallet | can't, im on the vpn now | 06:54 |
| purge_kdewallet | well, maybe | 06:54 |
| purge_kdewallet | let me try | 06:54 |
| purge_kdewallet | no loss | 06:55 |
| remedialjoe_ | so its not wifi/router | 06:55 |
| remedialjoe_ | for the pl issue | 06:55 |
| remedialjoe_ | hrm | 06:55 |
| purge_kdewallet | there is no packet loss when i do a ping charter.net | 06:55 |
| remedialjoe_ | is there anyway you can plug in the NIC | 06:55 |
| remedialjoe_ | and see if ipv6 works through that | 06:55 |
| purge_kdewallet | (my isp) | 06:55 |
| purge_kdewallet | all other sites have packet loss | 06:56 |
| remedialjoe_ | sounds like their backbone is having issues? | 06:56 |
| purge_kdewallet | sounds like charter is doing deep packet inspections | 06:56 |
| remedialjoe_ | yeah | 06:56 |
| remedialjoe_ | wow | 06:56 |
| purge_kdewallet | it is really slowing down regular connections, and encrypted connections even more | 06:56 |
| purge_kdewallet | it could be a brute-force attack as well | 06:56 |
| Daisuke_Ido | welcome to the modern world without net neutrality. | 06:56 |
| remedialjoe_ | :/ | 06:57 |
| purge_kdewallet | lol | 06:57 |
| purge_kdewallet | maybe i should flood ping and see what the loss rates are | 06:57 |
| === dan__ is now known as Y-Town | ||
| Y-Town | peacefull | 06:58 |
| purge_kdewallet | i'll ping myself from the vpn connection | 06:58 |
| purge_kdewallet | thats peacefully | 06:58 |
| Y-Town | :o) | 06:58 |
| purge_kdewallet | wow, not much packet loss | 06:59 |
| purge_kdewallet | 0% packet loss on a flood ping | 06:59 |
| purge_kdewallet | but 25 - 50% loss on a regular ping | 06:59 |
| purge_kdewallet | whats wrong with that picture? | 06:59 |
| purge_kdewallet | definitely its the isp doing packet inspection | 06:59 |
| remedialjoe_ | big brother is watching you | 06:59 |
| purge_kdewallet | they can't inspect flood pings | 06:59 |
| purge_kdewallet | because its not a protocol, but rather broken protocol strings | 07:00 |
| remedialjoe_ | i don't see how that would effect dns resolves tho | 07:00 |
| purge_kdewallet | if the internet is multiplexed, this would be a possible outcome | 07:00 |
| purge_kdewallet | UDP is a targeted protocol for packet inspection | 07:00 |
| purge_kdewallet | since it is used by many p2p | 07:01 |
| purge_kdewallet | aka, torrents | 07:01 |
| remedialjoe_ | hrm | 07:01 |
| purge_kdewallet | nothing out of the ordinary under the peerguardian logs | 07:01 |
| purge_kdewallet | do you all use peerguardian for linux? | 07:01 |
| remedialjoe_ | well.. | 07:02 |
| remedialjoe_ | i tried but then things pointed me to moblock | 07:02 |
| remedialjoe_ | and i felt uneasy | 07:02 |
| Y-Town | night | 07:02 |
| remedialjoe_ | so i haven't been dling | 07:02 |
| purge_kdewallet | you should try the one one sf.net | 07:03 |
| purge_kdewallet | called iplist | 07:03 |
| purge_kdewallet | very stable, and has a GUI | 07:03 |
| remedialjoe_ | wow there are hardy packages already | 07:03 |
| remedialjoe_ | coolness thx | 07:03 |
| purge_kdewallet | how come apt-get distupgrade doesn't upgrade me to hardy? | 07:04 |
| remedialjoe_ | sometimes i don't know why ubuntu does the things it does | 07:05 |
| remedialjoe_ | =] | 07:05 |
| mrunagi | y do ppl want hardy so bad | 07:06 |
| purge_kdewallet | the kde4 | 07:07 |
| remedialjoe_ | also because the install bugs haven't been fixed in gutsy? | 07:07 |
| remedialjoe_ | :/ | 07:07 |
| Arwen | mrunagi, Hardy? it has more xrandr. But honestly, I couldn't tell it apart from Gutsy. | 07:07 |
| Arwen | and argh, compiz makes the eyes burn after a while.. | 07:08 |
| remedialjoe_ | yah i got woozy after using it for too long | 07:09 |
| raoman | i have kubuntu 6.10 cd. when i tried to boot for installation, i get some error message saying that something is wrong with my HDD. ( running on Pentium 3 with winXp on 40GBmaxtor and ubuntu 7.10 on 10GB seagate) can anyone help me? | 07:09 |
| purge_kdewallet | i can try | 07:09 |
| purge_kdewallet | am sure others here will too | 07:10 |
| remedialjoe_ | purge_kdewallet: are you on dsl? | 07:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | raoman: you might want to go to 7.10 | 07:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | 4.10 will no longer be supported come april | 07:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | err | 07:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | 6.10 | 07:10 |
| purge_kdewallet | i am on cable | 07:11 |
| purge_kdewallet | charter is a cable provider | 07:11 |
| purge_kdewallet | they are a small little comcast | 07:11 |
| purge_kdewallet | raoman, what is the error? | 07:11 |
| raoman | Daisuke_Ido: i tried it already, had problems mounting USB drives, and my adept manager got screwed | 07:12 |
| remedialjoe_ | purge_kdewallet: which vpn client are you using | 07:13 |
| purge_kdewallet | kvpnc | 07:13 |
| purge_kdewallet | very buggy | 07:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | so you're going WAY back to a version that is barely supported in the hope that things will be better? | 07:13 |
| purge_kdewallet | the only one that exists though | 07:13 |
| raoman | purge _kdewallet: hdd:ide_intr:huh?expected NULL handler on exit followed by Buffer I/O error on device HDD, logical block 177902 | 07:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i assure you, this is an incredibly bad idea | 07:13 |
| purge_kdewallet | raoman, try running the live cd | 07:13 |
| remedialjoe_ | purge_kdewallet: look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-408866.html | 07:13 |
| purge_kdewallet | and there are commands to run scans on the hard disk from the live cd | 07:14 |
| raoman | purge _kdewallet: i tried booting several time, getting same error msg | 07:14 |
| purge_kdewallet | booting from hd or live disk? | 07:14 |
| remedialjoe_ | raoman: that sounds like the optical drive is on the same ide cable as the hd | 07:14 |
| remedialjoe_ | but try the live cd like purg said | 07:15 |
| raoman | purge _kdewallet: booting from live CD live cd | 07:15 |
| remedialjoe_ | raoman: Desktop or laptop | 07:15 |
| remedialjoe_ | i'm betting desktop | 07:15 |
| raoman | purge _kdewallet: desktop, but i had no problems installing Kubuntu 7.10 | 07:15 |
| remedialjoe_ | oh hrm | 07:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ... | 07:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | if you had no problems installing it, why didn't you just fix the problems it had with USB (can be done) instead of go back to a flaky release? | 07:16 |
| purge_kdewallet | the error reads: hard disk /dev/hdd has an interrupt on the IDP port, expected 0 MSB, thus a buffer overflow (V flag) on /dev/hdd, at logic memory location 177902 | 07:16 |
| purge_kdewallet | do you have another computer to burn a new live disk, the latest version uses a different kernel, if you don't I would recommend using an older version of a live disk you have | 07:17 |
| remedialjoe_ | purge_kdewallet: You can add an alias section specifically for the ___+ interface, and I think you'll want to add a prepend directive to specify the necessary dns entries. | 07:17 |
| remedialjoe_ | " " | 07:17 |
| purge_kdewallet | sometimes the older kernels bypass problems like this and allow them to run, any live disks around with kernel 2.4? | 07:17 |
| raoman | purge _kdewallet: i tried fixing usb problem on 7.10, but didnt workout. probably coz i didnt do it right. im still a rookie.. | 07:17 |
| remedialjoe_ | also purge_kdewallet .. | 07:18 |
| remedialjoe_ | Have you installed network-manager? It watches and reconfigures your connections. | 07:18 |
| remedialjoe_ | Nope, no network manager. Plain and simple default config. | 07:18 |
| purge_kdewallet | remedialjoe, my interface is virtual, tap when vpnc, and then eth1 otherwise | 07:18 |
| remedialjoe_ | maybe un installing network-manager ? | 07:18 |
| remedialjoe_ | yes you can still add the section for the virtual interface | 07:19 |
| remedialjoe_ | they have it listed as cisco0 | 07:19 |
| purge_kdewallet | at this rate i may have to reinstall the OS lol with my problem | 07:19 |
| purge_kdewallet | i really think its a problem either with the Ubuntu and the VPN server or a bug in KVPNC | 07:19 |
| remedialjoe_ | purge read this please | 07:19 |
| remedialjoe_ | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-408866.html | 07:19 |
| purge_kdewallet | u need to translate that into an ip | 07:20 |
| purge_kdewallet | or give me a min lol | 07:20 |
| remedialjoe_ | oh right my bad | 07:20 |
| remedialjoe_ | http://91.189.94.186/archive/index.php/t-408866.html | 07:20 |
| raoman | purge_kdewallet: i have ubuntu 7.10 running, can i install KDE interface on it? | 07:20 |
| remedialjoe_ | raoman: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 07:21 |
| Daisuke_Ido | actually | 07:21 |
| Daisuke_Ido | sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop | 07:21 |
| remedialjoe_ | ouch | 07:21 |
| purge_kdewallet | i would do a disk check before installing anything new though remdialjoe | 07:21 |
| purge_kdewallet | if he is on 7.10 now stably, i would run those disk check utils | 07:21 |
| Daisuke_Ido | aptitude handles dependencies better, so that if you decide to not go with kde, it can all be removed in one fell swoop | 07:21 |
| raoman | purge _kdewallet: okay, does it still come with USB drive mounting problem? | 07:21 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that's the ONLY reason i would recommend the change | 07:22 |
| remedialjoe_ | Daisuke_Ido: thx | 07:22 |
| purge_kdewallet | not that i am aware, i even got gmail to mount on it fine | 07:22 |
| remedialjoe_ | good call | 07:22 |
| purge_kdewallet | in the future, if you can't unmount, try the umount /dev/sda1 command, where sda1 is the usb flash drive | 07:22 |
| remedialjoe_ | also make sure you have the USB folder you were working on closed before trying to unmount the disc ;] | 07:23 |
| remedialjoe_ | or drive* | 07:23 |
| purge_kdewallet | also, i am guessing your USB drive is new | 07:23 |
| remedialjoe_ | i'm so tired.. can't sleep.. should just listen | 07:23 |
| purge_kdewallet | there is a new USB driver error in some of the newer USB flash drives? i have a problem with opensuse unmounting my newer flash drives | 07:23 |
| purge_kdewallet | remedialjoe, this website covers a problem i have had in the past with anonet | 07:24 |
| remedialjoe_ | it _sounds_ like the same sort of issue | 07:25 |
| purge_kdewallet | i ran into that problem with anonet, but this is a different problem | 07:26 |
| purge_kdewallet | anonet uses the vpn software to connect to its network | 07:26 |
| purge_kdewallet | this is the same problem i had with that, but it was resolved a while back | 07:26 |
| remedialjoe_ | even the last post? feb 1st 2008 | 07:26 |
| remedialjoe_ | archon256 | 07:26 |
| purge_kdewallet | yeah, the article wasn't dealing with anonet, but its a common problem that is hard to find on the web | 07:27 |
| purge_kdewallet | if i want dns, i can just setup a local dns server | 07:28 |
| purge_kdewallet | using TOR | 07:28 |
| raoman | purge _kdewallet: y wouldnt my external HDD (NTFS) mount even after i installed ntfs-3g? shudnt it fix d problem? | 07:28 |
| purge_kdewallet | 7.10 has the proper software installed natively | 07:28 |
| purge_kdewallet | you shouldn't have to install any additional software, the ntfs-3g should have come with 7.10 | 07:28 |
| purge_kdewallet | did you try to mount it manually? | 07:29 |
| purge_kdewallet | mkdir /media/usbdisk | 07:29 |
| purge_kdewallet | sudo mount /dev/hdd /media/usbdisk | 07:29 |
| purge_kdewallet | you might need a sudo on that mkdir as well | 07:29 |
| raoman | purge _kdewallet: i installed it because i had problems mounting my USB drives. i browsed through the forum pages b4 installing. | 07:30 |
| purge_kdewallet | assuming that hdd is the usb disk | 07:30 |
| ForgeAus | are AMD/ATI now opensource drivers? | 07:30 |
| raoman | purge _kdewallet: nope, i didnt | 07:30 |
| purge_kdewallet | Forge: ATI has for a while, about 2 years | 07:30 |
| ForgeAus | uh? I'm confused | 07:30 |
| purge_kdewallet | try that | 07:31 |
| purge_kdewallet | see if that works raoman | 07:31 |
| purge_kdewallet | make sure you find the right /dev/ | 07:31 |
| ForgeAus | back when I got edgy radeon was tough to get working because the drivers were proprietary and the opensource versions were difficult... | 07:31 |
| purge_kdewallet | it can be /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, /dev/usbdisk, or /dev/hdd | 07:31 |
| purge_kdewallet | usually one of those | 07:31 |
| ForgeAus | ie fire xgl etc.. | 07:31 |
| ForgeAus | I'm certain that was less than 2 years ago | 07:32 |
| purge_kdewallet | oh, i didn't read above, "opensource" | 07:32 |
| purge_kdewallet | lol | 07:32 |
| purge_kdewallet | thats news to me | 07:32 |
| ForgeAus | same here | 07:32 |
| purge_kdewallet | they have had the proprietary out a while | 07:32 |
| raoman | purge _kdewallet: okay, i'll try installing KDE now... thx bro | 07:32 |
| purge_kdewallet | np | 07:32 |
| remedialjoe_ | purge_kdewallet: sorry if i am repeating myself.. so the issue isn't that your dns is changing back to the wrong settings? | 07:32 |
| ForgeAus | but aren't the opensource drivers for radeon for Xorg better than the propritary versions? | 07:32 |
| purge_kdewallet | its dns servers are working on other computers | 07:32 |
| purge_kdewallet | but not properly here | 07:33 |
| ForgeAus | (still a pain tho) | 07:33 |
| purge_kdewallet | the network admin says the dns servers are twice as fast as any others | 07:33 |
| purge_kdewallet | so it would be *nice* if it worked | 07:33 |
| purge_kdewallet | i was hoping dig could help | 07:33 |
| remedialjoe_ | but you said opendns wouldn't even work | 07:33 |
| purge_kdewallet | the actual command might help me debug | 07:33 |
| purge_kdewallet | but the flags are hard to set | 07:33 |
| remedialjoe_ | purge 208.67.219.99start/ubuntu.php | 07:33 |
| remedialjoe_ | its the same solution | 07:33 |
| remedialjoe_ | hrm | 07:33 |
| purge_kdewallet | yeah, i tried editing the resolv.conf | 07:33 |
| purge_kdewallet | but to read the resolv.conf with the opendns settings | 07:34 |
| purge_kdewallet | i would have to /etc/init.d/networking restart | 07:34 |
| purge_kdewallet | which would break the vpn connection | 07:34 |
| purge_kdewallet | and thus i was in an endless loop | 07:34 |
| purge_kdewallet | (the vpn reset the resolv.conf) | 07:35 |
| purge_kdewallet | if the dhcp settings are changed, they will reflect the router at the vpn server side | 07:35 |
| remedialjoe_ | doesn't it just reset the settings? | 07:35 |
| purge_kdewallet | not the client side router here | 07:35 |
| remedialjoe_ | it won't actually completely re create the resolv.conf will it | 07:35 |
| purge_kdewallet | no, you have to reset networking for it to read | 07:35 |
| purge_kdewallet | it will completely recreate it | 07:35 |
| purge_kdewallet | and move the other file to another file name | 07:36 |
| purge_kdewallet | whoever wrote the kvpnc was in a rush i think | 07:36 |
| purge_kdewallet | hey, i have to get some sleep | 07:36 |
| purge_kdewallet | i'll try staying in here and jump in some time tomorrow | 07:36 |
| remedialjoe_ | hehehe.. take it easy yo.. and GL figuring it out.. if you do and see me around let me know what was up | 07:36 |
| remedialjoe_ | i'm on now and then | 07:37 |
| purge_kdewallet | good room to give back to the ubuntu community and get help learning new things at the same time | 07:37 |
| remedialjoe_ | true true | 07:37 |

| ActionParsnip | jussi01, true | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | jussi01, is it hard to make kde3.5 apps use kde4. Id imagine they'd have made it backward compatible at some points | 10:15 |
| jussi01 | ActionParsnip: if you are on kde4, you can use kde3.5 apps, of courese, just not inegrated perfectly. ;) | 10:15 |

| alesan | it is FAR too quick | 12:45 |
| alesan | I can barely point it where I need | 12:45 |
| alesan | I like a mouse like the one on the macintosh, very slow ;) | 12:46 |
| flipstar | systemsetting-->mouse | 12:46 |
| === michael__ is now known as Igor | ||
| alesan | flipstar: yes, and? no setting seems to control mouse speed | 12:46 |
| alesan | it is a bluetooth mouse, the touchpad and IBM's nipple are ok | 12:47 |
| flipstar | systemsetting-->mouse-->advanced-->mouse pointer acceleration | 12:47 |
| alesan | flipstar: maybe I've not been clear. the problem is the SPEED not the acceleration | 12:48 |
| alesan | nothing in that panel works for me; I have already tried | 12:48 |
| flipstar | you set acceleration to 1.5 or something ? | 12:48 |
| alesan | long ago I remember a xset command to slow down the mouse, or similar. I must find it again | 12:48 |
| flipstar | and clicked apply ? | 12:49 |
| flipstar | maybe 1.0 is better,just tried | 12:49 |
| alesan | I understand what you mean. yes if I set to 1.0 the mouse gets more... mh how can I describe | 12:50 |
| flipstar | for me it is slower at all.. | 12:50 |
| alesan | yes slower but also for quick movements | 12:50 |
| SlimeyPete | mouse settings do tend to go a bit funny if you attach a mouse after X has started | 12:50 |
| SlimeyPete | and you have to use xset | 12:50 |
| alesan | a good setting of the mouse is that, if you use if slowly, it moves slowly, if you make a very quick and short movement it goes already across the screen | 12:51 |
| alesan | with a setting of 1..0x it seems like the good old days with a non-proportional mouse on the commodore 64 | 12:51 |
| alesan | SlimeyPete: as it is a bluetooth mouse, it is guaranteed it will be attached only after X (and KDE and bluez thing) has started | 12:52 |
| alesan | SlimeyPete: do you have an example how to operate xset? let me serach on the net | 12:52 |

| omeow | Adept just installed a list of updates and now I can no longer type a double quote. If I try it, then a / appears instead. What happened? My keyboard layout did not change. It's still set to what it was. US int. | 12:55 |
| soussou | is there a way I can update kubuntu and have kde4 as the default desktop? | 12:56 |
| soussou | someone suggested i install kde4-core | 12:56 |
| alesan | is KDE4 working well? | 12:56 |
| soussou | but that package doesn't even exist | 12:56 |
| soussou | alesan: according to some sources, it's not perfect, but it's working | 12:56 |
| kaminix | soussou: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.1.php | 12:56 |
| flipstar | omeow: locale -a | 12:56 |
| kaminix | Instructions on the page. | 12:57 |
| soussou | i tried using opensuse 11, it's buggy, but very interesting | 12:57 |
| SlimeyPete | alesan: "xset m <acceleration> <threshold>" I think. Acceleration can be a fraction e.g. 1/10. | 12:57 |
| willis_ | interesting because of the bugs? :) | 12:57 |
| SlimeyPete | so you can go much lower than the GUI tool allows | 12:57 |
| soussou | no, simply interesting in and out of itself, regardless of the bugs | 12:58 |
| alesan | soss | 12:59 |
| alesan | soussou, kaminix: thanks | 12:59 |
| alesan | SlimeyPete: will try that thanks | 12:59 |
| kaminix | You're welcome :) | 13:00 |
| omeow | flipstar: What do I need to do with that? | 13:01 |
| soussou | what distro has the most stable kde4 desktop? | 13:02 |
| soussou | I tried opensuse 11, it works, but crashes frequently | 13:03 |

| ubotu | noaXess: Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. | 13:36 |

| Apple_Cat_ | is there a way to change the icons for programs, example would be change firefox icon so the the icon at the top left of window and icon in alt tab is affected by the change also | 13:38 |
| Apple_Cat_ | i assume they both use the same icon, where should i be looking, I've tried /usr but didn't find much | 13:39 |
| noaXess | pag: thanks :) | 13:39 |
| flipstar | Apple_Cat_: i guess this is implemented into the program itself..dont know if its enough to replace the icon.. | 13:40 |

| nosrednaekim | copondo» switch to the newer FGLRX drivers and ditch XGL | 13:44 |
| copondo | I tried installing that. Either I didn't follow the instructions correctly, or the new FGLRX don't work with my hardware. How can I check to see if my ATI is supported, where can I get a good HowTo? | 13:45 |
| nosrednaekim | !ati | 13:46 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 13:46 |
| nosrednaekim | I think there is a link off that page for manually installing the drivers ^^ | 13:46 |
| copondo | If it installs successfully, should I then uninstall Xgl or does FGLRX become my new compositing manager? | 13:47 |
| nosrednaekim | copondo» uninstall XGL | 13:48 |
| nosrednaekim | copondo» and you'll need to erase the "no compositing" line from your xorg.conf | 13:48 |
| copondo | lspci on my ThinkPad returns "ATI Technologies Inc RS200/RS200M AGP Bridge [IGP 340M]" | 13:49 |
| nosrednaekim | copondo» oh.... thats old.... you might be better off with the open source ATI drivers. | 13:51 |
| TheGateKeeper | when is the next version due out & am I right in thinking it is an LTS version & you should be able to upgrade to it from dapper? | 13:51 |
| nosrednaekim | !khardy | 13:51 |
| ubotu | Kubuntu Hardy Heron expects to ship with both KDE 3 and KDE 4 as 2 separate disks. KDE 4 should be offered by shipit. The KDE 3 CD will be commercially supported for 18 months and KDE 4 will be community supported. | 13:51 |
| nosrednaekim | TheGateKeeper» Its not LTS, but I think you will be able to upgrade from dapper | 13:51 |
| TheGateKeeper | ok thanks nosrednaekim | 13:52 |
| TheGateKeeper | will give it a try when it comes out | 13:52 |
| copondo | nosrednaekim, how do I obtain those open source ATI drivers? | 13:52 |
| TheGateKeeper | hopefully they will put upgrade info on their wiki | 13:53 |
| nosrednaekim | TheGateKeeper» they probably will | 13:53 |
| nosrednaekim | copondo» they are already installed..... they come with X | 13:53 |
| nosrednaekim | copondo» edit your xorg.conf and change Driver "fglrx" to Driver "ati" and erase the last three lines which should be turning compositing off. | 13:54 |
| TheGateKeeper | be nice if I can use the update-manager | 13:56 |
| copondo | Default is Driver ati. Whenever I change to fglrx X refuses to start. I'm not very farmiliar with which lines to turn compositing off with. By the way thanks so much for your suggestions so far. | 13:56 |
| nosrednaekim | copondo» so you aren't using fglrx right now? | 13:56 |
| nosrednaekim | copondo» ah... then you have no need for XGL | 13:57 |
| nosrednaekim | have you tried running compiz without XGL? | 13:57 |
| copondo | Right now I'm using ati. I've experimented with radeon - no difference. With fglrx, X doesn't start | 13:57 |

| Dragonath | pushax: I did that | 15:09 |
| pushax | Dragonath: I need the java.default_java_location_others | 15:09 |
| noaXess | Dragonath: why will the app entry in taskbar be twice? | 15:09 |
| Dragonath | /usr/java | 15:10 |
| pushax | noaXess: it because there are two stages running. one to kickstart and the other the real app. I believe | 15:10 |
| Dragonath | noaXess: probably because it shows you the window that's asking for your root password | 15:10 |
| pushax | Dragonath: okt that's the default setting. so you have java working in firefox2? | 15:10 |
| Dragonath | so there's two windows - one is the real adept manager window, and one is adept manager asking for your password | 15:11 |
| Dragonath | yes java works in my firefox | 15:11 |
| pushax | noaXess: the kickstart part should close once it's done it's task | 15:11 |
| noaXess | Dragonath: no.. eg. if i close the app and run it again.. i don't need enter a password.. and it happends again.. two taskbar entries.. after few seconds the first goes away.. | 15:11 |
| pushax | Dragonath: ok thanks for time. | 15:11 |
| Dragonath | maybe it still runs the password checker | 15:12 |
| noaXess | pushax: then it's really normal.. also that the mouse app icon jumps around until the first kickstart part closes.. | 15:12 |
| Dragonath | but it finds out that you just typed in the password | 15:12 |
| Dragonath | so it's nice and lets you go | 15:12 |
| Dragonath | hmm pushax maybe java doesn't work in my ff :) | 15:12 |
| heras | How can you set tab indentation length in Kate from 8 to 4? Emax mixed mode allows "Number of spaces" but I'd rather have 'shorter' tabs. | 15:13 |
| pushax | noaXess: yep. the mouse shoudl have the busy mode going. maybee the kickstart is really kdesu running the task chosen but showing the icon and name fo the app to run | 15:13 |
| pushax | Dragonath: hehehehe. | 15:13 |
| Dragonath | heras: I think the standard length for a tab symbol is 8 spaces | 15:13 |
| noaXess | pushax: okay.. i think i understand.. only for information.. the app itself runs while the mouse pointer jumps and the second taskbar entry is doing something.. | 15:14 |
| pushax | Dragonath: oh well least it's the deafult. I'll start from scratch on geting it going | 15:14 |
| Dragonath | there's two types of whitespace (maybe more, not sure), one is just one char long, the other is 8 | 15:14 |
| Dragonath | pushax: good luck | 15:14 |
| heras | Dragonath: Yes, I thinks so to, but I believe vimrc allows you to change tab length for instance | 15:14 |
| Dragonath | heras: I don't think kate is so advanced as to let you do that, but I'm not sure - I'm no KDE expert :) | 15:15 |
| pushax | noaXess: most likely. I'm no expert as I've only been with linux for a month on this round. I believe that KDEsu is a separate program that runs other tasks. it handles masqurading or running with other use privileges | 15:15 |
| heras | Dragonath: ok, thanks anyway :) | 15:15 |
| Dragonath | yes, for all I know kdesu is a graphical frontend for su | 15:16 |

| Arwen | the VLC plugin sucks major >_< | 18:07 |
| Vermux | During the previous startup, KNotify crashed while instantiating KNotify. Do you want to try again or disable aRts sound output? | 18:07 |
| Vermux | If you choose to disable aRts output now, you can re-enable it later or select an alternate sound player in the System Notifications control panel. | 18:07 |
| jussi01 | Arwen: works perfectly here. | 18:07 |
| Vermux | it happaned when I try to install VLC | 18:07 |

| jussi01 | Arwen: correct. but the thing is it works, unlike some others. | 18:08 |
| jussi01 | Vermux: try again | 18:08 |
| Arwen | eh, I don't use a plugin, but mplayer-plugin was ok last time I checked | 18:08 |
| jussi01 | Arwen: yeah, mplayers one is ok, but I have had issues with it on some sites. | 18:09 |
| Vermux | why it wants me to insert the CD of 7.10? | 18:09 |
| jussi01 | Vermux: because you still have it marked as a repository | 18:09 |
| Vermux | it asked me to do that several times when I installed updates | 18:09 |
| Vermux | ? | 18:09 |
| Vermux | can I cancell that, or I have to insert the CD? | 18:09 |
| jussi01 | insert it this time, then ill tell you how to fix | 18:10 |
| Vermux | k | 18:10 |
| jussi01 | Vermux: you can turn it off in adept -> manage repositories -> third party repositories -> uncheck the cd | 18:11 |
| jussi01 | Vermux: but you need to wait for the install to finnish before you do that. | 18:12 |
| Vermux | ok, I did that | 18:13 |
| Vermux | I installed | 18:13 |
| Vermux | and changed that option of the Cd | 18:13 |
| Vermux | jussi01: ^ | 18:13 |
| jussi01 | :) | 18:14 |
| Vermux | what now? | 18:14 |
| jussi01 | Vermux: now restart firefox and try that site | 18:14 |
| jussi01 | Vermux: it says no video for a bit while it buffers, then starts playing | 18:15 |
| jussi01 | the time it takes depends on your internet connection. | 18:15 |

| jussi01 | zizzfizzix: you have a lot of strange repos, including debian ones. there are a million things that could be causing this. | 18:41 |
| jussi01 | !debian | zizzfizzix | 18:41 |
| ubotu | zizzfizzix: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 18:41 |

| amunra | I have both installed - both feel the same... albeit Ubuntu is a bit faster | 18:43 |

| cinex | oh | 19:02 |
| zizzfizzix | jussi01: how to enable these gutsy upgrades? | 19:02 |

| tominglis | hi, how do i check to see which version of the uvc video driver i am running? | 19:04 |
| tominglis | i am trying to troubleshoot a problem i am having with my webcam | 19:05 |
| tominglis | and i think i've installed the latest version of the driver from the Linux UVS Subversion repository | 19:05 |
| zizzfizzix | jussi01: i have all enabled | 19:05 |
| tominglis | but i don't know how to check that | 19:05 |
| zizzfizzix | what should i backup from my installation before reinstalling kubuntu? | 19:06 |
| tominglis | http://developer.berlios.de/projects/linux-uvc | 19:06 |
| jussi01 | zizzfizzix: most stuff in $home | 19:07 |
| zizzfizzix | okay i will | 19:08 |
| zizzfizzix | anything else? | 19:08 |
| ere4si | tominglis, here's the wiki - http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=Linux+UVC | 19:08 |
| jussi01 | zizzfizzix: /etc can be a good idea | 19:09 |
| jussi01 | zizzfizzix: remeber to grab the .folders also | 19:09 |
| zizzfizzix | ~/.folders? | 19:10 |
| zizzfizzix | ahh | 19:10 |
| zizzfizzix | .xxxxx | 19:10 |
| zizzfizzix | :) | 19:10 |
| jussi01 | yeah, like .kde .mozilla etc | 19:10 |
| zizzfizzix | $home and /etc | 19:10 |
| zizzfizzix | nothing else? | 19:10 |
| zizzfizzix | do you think i should choose kubuntu iso with kde 3.5.9 and add 4.0.1 or just kubuntu 4.0.1? | 19:12 |
| jussi01 | 3.5.9 will be more stable imho | 19:12 |
| tominglis | ere4si: yes i know, i used that to install the driver, although i think the location mentioned under ubuntu 6.06 is wrong | 19:14 |
| tominglis | ere4si: i just want to check what version i have running right now | 19:14 |
| tominglis | ere4si: i.e. whether i was successful installing it | 19:14 |
| ere4si | tominglis, I couldn't find much on google about it and don't use it - try typing uvc in konsole - or man uvc | 19:16 |
| ere4si | tominglis, something should show if it is there | 19:16 |
| flaccid | !compiz | 19:16 |

| tominglis | ere4si, i think it's just a .ko driver file or set of them, is there no command to see all loaded driver modules? | 19:17 |
| Pici | lsmod | 19:17 |
| ere4si | tominglis, not that I know but I know little | 19:17 |

| jackault | sup? | 19:57 |
| jackault | oh and the webserver went down. | 19:57 |
| trappist | see if you can find out who downloaded your task bar, and make him give it back | 19:58 |
| jackault | Ridiculous, he'd never give it back! It was such a lovely taskbar with transparency and all, guess I'd just have to log out and in again to get it. | 19:58 |
| jackault | which I did. But why'd it go down? | 19:59 |
| trappist | well kicker sometimes craches. I just do alt-f2 -> kicker when that happens. | 19:59 |
| trappist | *crashes | 19:59 |
| jackault | And that would take the webserver with it? | 19:59 |
| trappist | not usually, no | 20:00 |

| ubotu | FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 20:19 |
| idream | hi people | 20:24 |
| jussi01 | hi | 20:25 |
| Arwen | "Note: At present FreeNX is limited to desktops where both local and remote machines are running Linux/Unix. Running FreeNX as server on Ubuntu with the free 'NX Client for Windows' from [WWW] NoMachine on a Windows workstation is working fine." <-- um, so is it cross-platform or not? | 20:26 |
| Arwen | stupid wiki pages... | 20:27 |
| limbeaux | that is on the ubuntu forums as well | 20:27 |
| limbeaux | i was hoping not to have to install an odd client as well | 20:27 |
| limbeaux | vnc was hopefull, but I cannot get my windows client to connect to the linux box | 20:28 |
| rickest | limbeaux: were you using "linuxhost:1" for example? You can't just use "linuxhost" to connect to a linux box's VNC | 20:30 |
| limbeaux | no | 20:30 |
| rickest | limbeaux: that's probably the problem. unlike windows, VNC on linux doesn't show the same desktop you see as the local user. It's a different X session running | 20:30 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, i had mine working , but did some thing on the windows box(wifey's) and now I can only access one way (linux to windows) , which is fine most of the time , but it would be nice for wife to be able fetch files from my linux box . | 20:31 |
| rickest | so they connect string must include the port to connect to which, by default, is ':1' | 20:31 |
| limbeaux | didn't know you had to use the display number | 20:31 |
| rickest | limbeaux: yes. the number you provide is actually addded to 5900 (VNC's default port), so ":1" means 5901 | 20:32 |
| rickest | FWIW, FreeNX is imho far superior to VNC and I used VNC for yearzx | 20:32 |
| BluesKaj | bbiab...gotta go get the mail | 20:34 |

| DaSkreech | ubuntu_: Unmount it and mount ffrom the command line | 20:44 |
| BluesKaj | you can setup Fonts in the configure / konverstaion to show nicknames in bold and in "colours " | 20:44 |
| DaSkreech | ubuntu_: You know how to do that? | 20:44 |
| limbeaux | i never would have though that desktop sharing would be such a challenge | 20:44 |
| DaSkreech | limbeaux: always the stuff you don't expect | 20:44 |
| niklasv | anyone know of an alternate server for kubuntu hardy alpha? ie not cdimage.ubuntu.com | 20:44 |
| MartinCleaver | wow. My screen just blacked out during install. | 20:45 |
| MartinCleaver | Has it trashed? | 20:45 |
| nosrednaekim | !hardy | 20:45 |
| ubotu | Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 20:45 |
| ubuntu_ | daskreech im not sure about the permissions part | 20:45 |
| niklasv | ah ok sorry | 20:46 |
| limbeaux | krfb ( i think) works like vnc on windows, it would be nice if you could make it a service and not have to click the accept button to allow access | 20:46 |
| DaSkreech | sudo mount /dev/device /tsap -o umask=0022 | 20:46 |
| DaSkreech | then sudo chroot /tsap | 20:46 |
| * MartinCleaver wonders whether the machine is installign | 20:46 | |
| limbeaux | MartinCleaver probably not, mine did the same thing | 20:46 |
| nosrednaekim | MartinCleaver» totally? | 20:46 |
| MartinCleaver | should I be able to ctrl-alt-f2? | 20:46 |
| MartinCleaver | yes | 20:46 |
| limbeaux | MartinCleaver give it a minute to be sure | 20:47 |
| MartinCleaver | I was in the graphical installer, installing off a DVD | 20:47 |
| ubuntu_ | daskreech where does the fs type go | 20:47 |
| DaSkreech | ubuntu_: Should auto detect | 20:47 |
| DaSkreech | Linux is a lot friendlier these days :) | 20:47 |
| MartinCleaver | mind you, when I booted off the DVD, at one point the login screen corrupted for maybe 5mins | 20:47 |
| limbeaux | yes | 20:48 |
| limbeaux | that has happened to me too | 20:48 |
| MartinCleaver | hmm. caps lock is not responding though | 20:48 |
| ubuntu_ | daskreech it wont autodetect..... its ext3 | 20:48 |
| MartinCleaver | DVD light is off | 20:48 |
| DaSkreech | sudo mount /dev/device /tsap -o umask=0022 -t ext3 | 20:48 |
| ubuntu_ | daskreech still no go.. | 20:49 |
| limbeaux | MartinCleaver: i have had so many problems with that installer, i gave up on it. It really is much simpler to use text install. | 20:49 |
| MartinCleaver | i just used the default | 20:50 |
| MartinCleaver | would have happily used the text one | 20:50 |
| Y-Town | anyone know of a gnome application that will allow you to use a control panel atmosphere more like KDE control panel? | 20:50 |
| === ubuntu__ is now known as smax | ||
| limbeaux | funny thing is that i don't see the option on the "desktop" download. I had to download the "Alternative" version to get the text install | 20:50 |
| DaSkreech | ubuntu_: Are you sure you are using the right /dev ? | 20:50 |
| ubuntu_ | yes | 20:50 |
| limbeaux | "text install" option | 20:51 |
| DaSkreech | ubuntu_: What' the error? | 20:51 |
| Crashed | Can anyone help with a TV tuner issue? I can't seem to properly configure my pci tv card. | 20:51 |
| DaSkreech | !tv | 20:51 |
| ubotu | http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out | 20:51 |
| * DaSkreech hides :) | 20:51 | |
| Crashed | I have raped linuxtv.org to death :( | 20:51 |
| ubuntu_ | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error | 20:52 |
| MartinCleaver | how long should I leave this machine before resetting it? | 20:52 |
| DaSkreech | ubuntu_: what device are you mounting ? | 20:53 |
| ubuntu_ | my hdd partition | 20:53 |

| Y-Town | anyone know of a gnome application that will allow you to use a control panel atmosphere more like KDE control panel? | 20:54 |
| MartinCleaver | My monitor is implying that it is getting no signal | 20:54 |
| Arwen | Y-Town, gnome-control-center perhaps | 20:54 |
| MartinCleaver | dvd light is off | 20:54 |
| Arwen | or gconf-editor | 20:54 |
| Y-Town | Arwen: Thanks I will take a look | 20:54 |
| MartinCleaver | hah, but the hard disk light is on, and I did tell it to format the disk | 20:55 |
| limbeaux | MartinCleaver 5 mins or so. kubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso is what i used to install because of error just like that | 20:56 |
| sd132 | why do i have 2 incks? | 20:56 |
| sd132 | *nicks | 20:56 |
| MartinCleaver | does this mean I have to download a whole new dvd? I'm installing for 64bit | 20:56 |
| BluesKaj | sd132: cuz you prolly din't exit the chat client the last time | 20:57 |
| * MartinCleaver is on his eeepc now | 20:57 | |
| nosrednaekim | MartinCleaver» you can just reboot and install with the alternate installer.... it should be on the same DvD. | 20:57 |
| nosrednaekim | MartinCleaver» ahhh! I want! | 20:58 |
| sd132 | BluesKaj: i did, i the second nick just showed up a few minutes ago and there both registered to me | 20:58 |
| Y-Town | Arwen: Thanks, Thats exactly what I was looking for. I wonder why ubuintu doesnt put it in the settings list | 20:58 |
| MartinCleaver | how long might a 12gb disk format take? I suspect that's the first action it is taking and would prefer to not interrupt it | 20:58 |
| MartinCleaver | disk light is on solid | 20:59 |
| Arwen | MartinCleaver, it ought to take seconds.. | 20:59 |
| MartinCleaver | oh | 20:59 |
| MartinCleaver | in that case | 20:59 |
| sd132 | it kicked me to my alt nick and stayed | 20:59 |
| nosrednaekim | MartinCleaver» if the disk light is on... its probably ok | 20:59 |
| BanTam | 80gb format took about a minute or 2 for me | 20:59 |
| nosrednaekim | waiting can'thurt I suppose | 20:59 |
| Arwen | unless you tried zeroing it... | 20:59 |
| MartinCleaver | 3:53 I started | 21:00 |
| Arwen | then that's 20s/GB | 21:00 |
| MartinCleaver | didn't do any zeroing | 21:00 |
| MartinCleaver | dvd light is still off | 21:00 |
| MartinCleaver | who votes to kill it? | 21:00 |
| BluesKaj | sd132: did you just register? | 21:01 |
| DaSkreech | nosrednaekim: Any idea why ubuntu_'s partition won't mount ? | 21:01 |

| nosrednaekim | DaSkreech» try mounting without a -t? | 21:01 |
| DaSkreech | nosrednaekim: Yeah it freaks | 21:02 |

| DaSkreech | what did you do? | 21:02 |

| ubuntu_ | hey im the noob here | 21:05 |
| Limbeaux | i am also trying upgrade to kde4 all it said was to install kde4-core, is there more to install? | 21:05 |
| nosrednaekim | ubuntu_» hehe...well good job :) | 21:05 |
| DaSkreech | ubuntu_: ;) | 21:05 |
| nosrednaekim | Limbeaux» you can install "kde4" and that will give you everything | 21:05 |
| Limbeaux | ahh ok. | 21:06 |
| MartinCleaver | ok. I don't seem to be able to control that dvd boot menu | 21:06 |
| MartinCleaver | cursors don't work | 21:06 |
| MartinCleaver | I have 2 usb keyboards | 21:07 |
| MartinCleaver | the one I use mostly is bluetooth, but the other is hardwired | 21:07 |
| * MartinCleaver boots without bt kbd | 21:08 | |
| MartinCleaver | nope. didn't like that | 21:09 |

| ubuntu_ | whoops sorry | 21:10 |
| stdin | it will choose the CD only if the version on the CD is the same or higher than the one in the online repo | 21:10 |
| DaSkreech | nosrednaekim: how's kubuntu-kde4-desktop ? | 21:10 |
| * MartinCleaver curses | 21:10 | |
| nosrednaekim | DaSkreech» whats that? | 21:11 |
| DaSkreech | ubuntu_: CD first then internet. If the version numbers are the same | 21:11 |
| DaSkreech | In general that's what you want | 21:11 |
| BluesKaj | ubuntu_: open your sources.list and type # in front of the cd deb and save the file, if you dan't want the cd tobe a source | 21:11 |
| MartinCleaver | once the dvd boots can I use the text installer once kde starts? | 21:11 |
| nosrednaekim | ubuntu_» erase the CD from the sources.list | 21:11 |
| MartinCleaver | keyboards worked fine from within | 21:11 |
| DaSkreech | nosrednaekim: I'm assuming that we have a KDE and a kubuntu-desktop | 21:11 |
| ubuntu_ | i want to use only the cd even with lower versions | 21:11 |
| DaSkreech | so we probably have a KDE4 and akubuntu-kde4-desktop | 21:11 |
| nosrednaekim | DaSkreech» not sure how its working in hardy | 21:12 |
| DaSkreech | ubuntu_: Then erase the internet | 21:12 |
| nosrednaekim | but that sounds logical | 21:12 |
| DaSkreech | I should really jump to hardy next week | 21:12 |

| nosrednaekim | MartinCleaver» no | 21:16 |
| MartinCleaver | ugh | 21:18 |
| MartinCleaver | are usb kbds generally not okay? | 21:18 |

| BanTam | would i need a different ver of ndiswrapper for 64 bit? | 21:24 |
| nosrednaekim | BanTam» probably.... more importantly,you would need a 64 bit windows driver | 21:25 |
| BanTam | i have those already | 21:25 |

| Limbeaux | hmm i keep getting forbidden when trying to install kde4. | 21:34 |
| dan__ | What do most of you prefer: KDE or Gnome? I have tried both and still a little unsure which I will go with | 21:35 |
| jpatrick | dan__: I prefer KDE | 21:35 |
| dan__ | jpatrick: do t=you run ubuntu with kde loaded or just kubuntu? | 21:36 |
| DaSkreech | dan__: Wrong chan to ask that | 21:36 |
| jpatrick | dan__: just Kubuntu | 21:36 |
| jetsaredim | i accidentally fat-fingered a chmod command and 777'd / on my server - is there any way to get out of this without reinstalling? | 21:36 |
| dan__ | DaSkreech: Just looking for a senses... | 21:37 |
| DaSkreech | dan__: really use the one you feel more comfortable/productive in | 21:37 |
| stdin | if you ask in #kubuntu, you're going to get the answer "kde" | 21:37 |
| * DaSkreech whispers That means KDE to dan__ ;-D | 21:38 | |
| dan__ | :o) | 21:38 |
| jetsaredim | is there a default root password? | 21:38 |
| DaSkreech | dan__: What you can do is stuff that bugs you about either environment ask about it in the respective chans. | 21:38 |
| stdin | !root | jetsaredim | 21:38 |
| ubotu | jetsaredim: 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 | 21:38 |
| nosrednaekim | !root | 21:38 |

| nosrednaekim | this show me hitting it before you ;) | 21:39 |
| DaSkreech | Oh yeah I hate that | 21:39 |
| jpatrick | nosrednaekim: admit it, we faster than me | 21:39 |
| jpatrick | you* | 21:39 |
| MartinCleaver | can lvms only contain one primary partition? | 21:40 |
| jetsaredim | stdin: did you not see my comment about chmod -R 777 /?? | 21:40 |
| nosrednaekim | we faster than me?.....schitzophrenia is a terrible thing my freind(s) | 21:40 |
| jetsaredim | I can't get sudo to work since its not setuid root | 21:40 |
| MartinCleaver | or one partition, period? | 21:40 |
| DaSkreech | dan__: #kubuntu will help you get over KDE annoyances and #ubuntu will help you get over Gnome annoyances | 21:40 |
| nosrednaekim | jetsaredim» you're going to need to chroot in from a liveCD | 21:40 |
| stdin | jetsaredim: well you'll have to try booting into recovery mode then and fix manually | 21:41 |
| DaSkreech | If you have something you can't get around then you can start to make choices based on how much either side will rub you the wrong way | 21:41 |
| nosrednaekim | dan__» and if you ask for help with your GNOPME annoyances here, we are going to say "GNOME IS an annoyance.. switch to KDE" | 21:41 |
| jetsaredim | stdin: sounds like i should just reinstall | 21:41 |
| MartinCleaver | I have an LV and I was going to make 2 partiions in it, one for tmp, the other for root/ | 21:41 |
| weswh- | does anyone know much about vmware server? the official support listed on their site doesn't sound perfect...but I've heard good things about just using apt-get install vmware-server... | 21:41 |
| weswh- | running feisty - should i look at an alternate package? | 21:41 |
| stdin | jetsaredim: if you did chmod recursively, then it may be easier (after a backup) | 21:41 |
| MartinCleaver | weswh-: I installed vmware server easily on a centos box | 21:42 |
| MartinCleaver | I think I just used a package | 21:42 |
| MartinCleaver | worked like a charm | 21:42 |
| DaSkreech | dan__: Having said all that how can we convince you that KDE is the one and only choice for you to get married to? | 21:42 |
| weswh- | mmhmm. just wondering if the official repo for is the way to go | 21:42 |
| dan__ | It has only been 10 years since I been on IRC.. so needles to say.. | 21:42 |
| MartinCleaver | I have an LV and I was going to make 2 partiions in it, one for tmp, the other for root/ - it seems to let me only create one partition, and then calls the rest of the space unusable. | 21:42 |
| nosrednaekim | wedding! I love weddings! drinks all around! | 21:42 |
| weswh- | dan__: welcome back? | 21:43 |
| nosrednaekim | weswh-» if it has the latest version, yes... of not, no :) | 21:43 |
| dan__ | DaSkreech: Im torn... I generally like KDE better.... | 21:43 |
| weswh- | nosrednaekim: yeah I am a bit of a newbie when it comes to apt still. to look at the exact version of what will be installed, what's the syntax? | 21:43 |
| DaSkreech | \o/ | 21:43 |
| MartinCleaver | why does it call the rest unusable? the graphical one didn't have this constraint. | 21:44 |
| nosrednaekim | weswh-» apt-cache policy vmware-server | 21:44 |
| nosrednaekim | dan__» do you use more kde apps,or more GNOME/gtk apps? | 21:44 |
| MartinCleaver | I suppose I'm not going to get an answer | 21:45 |
| dan__ | DaSkreech: I just got back on linux after ten years as well.... Atleast I found the right distro to start with | 21:45 |
| DaSkreech | dan__: The Kommunity here is great | 21:45 |
| weswh- | now this is a very basic question...but, when I do an 'update' and fetch list of updates etc, am I getting the latest apt list refreshed and stuff? | 21:45 |
| DaSkreech | MartinCleaver: Did you read the LVM docs? | 21:45 |
| Arwen | am I the only one that thinks Kubuntu's default panel laout is ugly? | 21:45 |
| Arwen | huh | 21:45 |
| weswh- | or is it like BSD, where I need to 'update ports' | 21:45 |
| DaSkreech | weswh-: It goes to the server and updates the list of what is available and what version it is | 21:46 |
| dan__ | nosrednaekim: kde.... but from what I seen gnome has a couple that are nice too | 21:46 |
| DaSkreech | Arwen: highly doubtful | 21:46 |
| * MartinCleaver has been battling with http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-over-lvm-filesystem#comment-906 | 21:46 | |
| DaSkreech | MartinCleaver: this is with the alternateCD? | 21:46 |
| nosrednaekim | weswh-» no.... you only need to run that one command. | 21:46 |
| dan__ | nosrednaekim: Remote desktop in gnome I found to be far superior | 21:46 |
| MartinCleaver | no, its with the text installer, it included an LVM option | 21:47 |
| nosrednaekim | weswh-» its not like ports/gentoo where you have to relink dependednies and such (I think thats what that does) | 21:47 |
| MartinCleaver | It sees the LVs no problem | 21:47 |
| weswh- | DaSkreech: so ubuntu does everything from the server with regard to apt...in real time? and only falls back to something if you've told it you aren't using internet etc. | 21:47 |
| DaSkreech | dan__: tried krdc ? | 21:47 |
| nosrednaekim | dan__» tryed krdc? | 21:47 |

| weswh- | that's very slick...i hate managing the ports tree in BSD. i mean, it's interesting from a standpoint that I in theory know what is there...but I could always roll back to something older if I needed to | 21:47 |
| MartinCleaver | it just doesn't let me create a second partition inside an LV. This could be by design, that would make sense I suppose | 21:47 |
| dan__ | DaSkreech: Yep.... dont like it | 21:47 |
| jpatrick | !lag | nosrednaekim | 21:47 |
| ubotu | nosrednaekim: You have lag, I don't have lag | 21:47 |

| dan__ | DaSkreech: Terminal Server Client was great and very fast for me to log into my server | 21:49 |
| MartinCleaver | ok. well I'll just put it together I guess. Didn't hurt last time. | 21:49 |
| DaSkreech | MartinCleaver: Server? | 21:50 |
| DaSkreech | dan__: Well you can install that in KDE no issues | 21:50 |
| MartinCleaver | yes, but lightly loaded for now | 21:50 |
| MartinCleaver | more of a desktop really | 21:50 |
| MartinCleaver | I use vmware and run servers on it too | 21:50 |
| DaSkreech | MartinCleaver: no I meant a heavy server | 21:51 |
| MartinCleaver | so, no. Desktop. | 21:51 |
| DaSkreech | that's when you would start optimizing where /tmp is on the disk etc | 21:51 |
| BluesKaj | youtube is merely a curiosity to me, but it's great for testing flash on browsers :P | 21:51 |
| dan__ | DaSkreech: thats more than likely what I will do... I have it now. | 21:51 |
| DaSkreech | other wise /tmp with / is fine | 21:51 |

| david__ | I did, that is what is giving me this error | 21:56 |
| sd32 | does anybody know of a online virus scanner that works with linux?(so i dont have to deal with installing clamwin) | 21:57 |
| weswh- | ok so I just went through this azureus update process...and it created a new startup script for me. fair enough...so I renamed it to what my old one was, simply 'azureus'. When I used to run that file...it ran the script and launched the app | 21:57 |
| weswh- | now it is opening in Kate...what's the difference? (clicking through konquerer) | 21:57 |
| nosrednaekim | david__» what error? | 21:58 |
| weswh- | ok there's something i don't get for sure. the old script...which is now named azureus.old - still launches the app... | 21:58 |

| rickest | arcticpenguin380: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReiserFS#Criticism | 22:29 |
| trappist | arcticpenguin380: metadata journaling is like, before it commits an action it logs "about to do this", then it does it, then it logs that it was done. so when you reboot, if there's an "about to do this" log without a "done" log, it executes the transaction. | 22:30 |
| panzi | hi | 22:31 |
| trappist | rickest: nice link | 22:31 |
| panzi | the kubuntu repositories seem to be broken! | 22:32 |
| panzi | all .deb files have a size of 0 bytes when you download them | 22:32 |
| stdin | which one, there are many mirrors | 22:32 |
| gshie | a few days ago i installed KDE using the kubuntu-desktop (and other packages). For several days, it would just stop when it it got to 'initializing system services' when launching KDE but today it decided to work for some reason. I looked it up on the docs and a lot of people seem to have had this problem...... does anybody here know about that? | 22:32 |
| arcticpenguin380 | oh well i will go to JFS then | 22:32 |
| panzi | deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-357 feisty main | 22:32 |
| trappist | arcticpenguin380: I'm pretty happy with ext3 now | 22:32 |
| panzi | if there are mirrors, where can I find a list? | 22:33 |
| nosrednaekim | !langpack | gshie | 22:33 |
| ubotu | gshie: A recent update broke some KDE language packs, leaving the user unable to login. (http://launchpad.net/bugs/195647) This has now been fixed and an updated package is in the -updates repo. If you removed the packages with the interim fix you can reinstall them with: << sudo apt-get install language-pack-kde-en language-pack-kde-en-base >> | 22:33 |
| trappist | arcticpenguin380: I tried xfs for a while, but grub hates it if /boot is on xfs | 22:33 |
| panzi | actually it seems to be all under http://packages/* | 22:33 |
| gshie | ubotu: thanks! | 22:33 |
| ubotu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 22:33 |

| panzi | well not yet | 22:35 |
| panzi | I have no time for an big system update | 22:35 |
| panzi | gah, I should have downloaded all the packages before they removed it | 22:35 |
| stdin | it's been out for months, hardy will be out soon | 22:35 |
| panzi | but I didnt had time! | 22:36 |
| panzi | damnit, thouse half year release cycles are far to short | 22:36 |

| panzi | I update once a year! | 22:36 |
| panzi | yeas | 22:37 |
| panzi | yes | 22:37 |
| stdin | well, start planning an hour or two, it's not an interactive process after it starts so you just need to check on it every 10-15 mins | 22:37 |
| panzi | because its tedious | 22:37 |
| trappist | stdin: it does get interactive when it finds modified config files | 22:38 |
| nosrednaekim | tedious? its one command.... but do do back ups :) | 22:38 |
| panzi | it's not an hour. i have installed a lot on my system which is not provided by ubuntu and therefore this all will stop to work when the system is updated. | 22:38 |
| stdin | it should ask those all in one go, when pre-configuring | 22:38 |
| panzi | therefore its more easy when I install the system from scratch | 22:39 |
| trappist | panzi: that's why you stick with the package manager :) or put stuff like that on its own partition | 22:39 |
| panzi | and that takes twao days at least | 22:39 |
| trappist | stdin: I didn't have any such luck on my gutsy upgrade | 22:39 |
| panzi | LOTS of stuff is just not available in the pkg mngr | 22:39 |
| panzi | like updated thunderbird (security updates) | 22:40 |
| stdin | security updates are always available | 22:40 |
| stdin | if not file a bug | 22:40 |
| panzi | or netbeans nightlieys (because of mercurial plugin and ws bpel etc.) | 22:40 |
| trappist | panzi: I try to keep distro-independent stuff in /opt, on its own partition | 22:40 |
| panzi | and then amarok is never up to date | 22:41 |
| gshie | is it just me, or is ubotu amazing? | 22:41 |
| panzi | and I had big problems with one amarok version (couldnt play most of my files) so I had to compile it myself | 22:41 |
| panzi | gshie: its just you. its a distro like every other | 22:41 |
| nosrednaekim | !botsnack | 22:42 |
| ubotu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 22:42 |
| trappist | panzi: a stable distro isn't going to give you new versions of software just because a new version's available. you can find backports repos and 3rd party repos for updates to individual packages you like. it's a lot better than building from source, especially when it comes time to upgrade the distro. | 22:42 |

| panzi | ok, in 3 weeks when I'll buy a new PC I'll switch to fedora again, I think | 23:04 |
| Artimus | nosrednaekim: Yes, but aren't we using KDE3 Adept until Intrepeid? | 23:04 |
| nosrednaekim | Artimus» probably. | 23:04 |
| panzi | good by | 23:05 |
| nosrednaekim | bye panzi | 23:05 |
| BluesKaj | heh, panzi, will be sorry :) | 23:09 |

| pedro | guys i need to know what is the nvidia driver | 23:54 |
| sd32 | which one? | 23:55 |
| mrunagi | !hardy | 23:55 |
| ubotu | Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 23:55 |
| SlimeyPete | pedro: the package for the "official" driver is called nvidia-glx, but the recommended way of installing is via the Restricted Drivers Manager | 23:55 |
| SlimeyPete | (nvidia-glx-legacy for old drivers I think) | 23:55 |
| pedro | ok thnaks :) | 23:56 |
| mrunagi | i have yet to get an answer so far lol | 23:56 |
| sd32 | !patience | 23:57 |
| ubotu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 23:57 |
| pedro | guys why i can't run wine on hardy | 23:58 |
