| jhutchins_wk | Is hardy out yet? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| sd32 | !hardy | 00:01 |
| 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 | 00:01 |
| jhutchins_wk | pedro: THat's what it means when it says #ubuntu+1 - hardy is supported there, for testing. | 00:01 |
| jhutchins_wk | Not here. | 00:01 |
| jhutchins_wk | Gutsy is the latest supported here, as it's a production release. | 00:01 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | hrmmm | 00:04 |
| pedro | thnks sorry to bother | 00:04 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | brainstorm is certainly pointing out what matters the most | 00:04 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | along with an incredibly painful jab at windows: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/235/ | 00:05 |
| mrunagi | is it possible to see the contents of a locked folder on an OSX hard drive? | 00:05 |
| === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde | ||
| lupul | thanks | 00:07 |
| pedro | i started amaro but i can't play mp3 music | 00:10 |
| pedro | what do i have to do | 00:10 |
| tin | does amarok tell you what package you need to install when you try to play mp3? | 00:10 |
| tin | i can't recall the package name of the top of my head | 00:11 |
| BluesKaj | tin: libxine1-ffmpeg | 00:11 |
| pedro | no it just say if i want to install the package i say yes but then i have to rsatart the amrok when i try again it can't play again | 00:12 |
| BluesKaj | tin, if you're on feisty or gutsy | 00:12 |
| miladen | when i put in my new external harddrive it says: hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000... Why cant i do anything with it? | 00:12 |
| tin | BluesKaj: oh, i'm set, i was just trying to recall it for pedro | 00:12 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 00:13 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | pedro: go to #ubuntu+1. this isn't help for hardy. | 00:13 |
| tin | pedro: make sure it got installed: use adept manager, or do 'aptitude search libxine1-ffmpeg' | 00:14 |
| miladen | no one knows? | 00:14 |
| tin | miladen: uid 1000 would be the user you made at install, and for some reason you don't have permission to mount it | 00:15 |
| miladen | tin im su... | 00:15 |
| tin | you = uid 1000, it = the drive | 00:15 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | tin: this is a pretty big bug that's been plaguing users since gutsy's release | 00:15 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | it's not as simple as you make it sound (oh if only) | 00:15 |
| miladen | tin can i do a sudo mount? | 00:16 |
| tin | miladen: i dunno, try it | 00:16 |
| miladen | tin is there such a command? :D | 00:17 |
| tin | Daisuke_Laptop says it's a bug, i dunno because my USB mass storages mounts fine | 00:17 |
| tin | 'sudo mount' is two commands | 00:17 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | tin: it doesn't affect everyone, but that exact problem covers a pretty fair percentage of all problems around here, and i don't think the solution is known (or if it is, i always miss it) | 00:18 |
| tin | sudo makes you super user for a single command (if you have your password) | 00:18 |
| tin | that is a big bug then, with thumb drives and external hard drives so inexpensive and easily available | 00:19 |
| sd32 | is sudo a s effective as kdesu? | 00:19 |
| mneptok | sudo is for the shell. kdesu is for graphical apps. | 00:20 |
| tin | you know, i HATE these dell/ms/hp keyboards with home/end/pgup/dp rearranged | 00:20 |
| sd32 | k | 00:20 |
| mneptok | you know what i hate? | 00:20 |
| mneptok | the moon. | 00:20 |
| sd32 | the moon???? | 00:20 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | mneptok: it's cool, we | 00:20 |
| tin | you probly won't call kdesu yourself. if you're at the CLI, you'd use sudo | 00:20 |
| mneptok | thurn that thing off! we're trying to sleep! | 00:20 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | ... | 00:20 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | mneptok: it's cool, we're bombing it soon | 00:21 |
| sd32 | lol | 00:21 |
| tin | i was about to say how much i liked the flexibility of X's networking | 00:21 |
| tin | since i'm at my dad's machine with Vista (the DVR is in this room too and i'm wathing carl sagan) | 00:21 |
| mneptok | billyons and billyons | 00:21 |
| tin | but konversation and konsole are upstairs on my kubuntu machine | 00:21 |
| sd32 | the cheeze will just absorb the bombs | 00:22 |
| tin | but I HATE this keyboard so much | 00:22 |
| mneptok | mmmm ... cheesebomb. | 00:22 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | sd32: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23371839/ | 00:22 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | i wasn't kidding. | 00:22 |
| * tin has an idea (also yay for USB) | 00:22 | |
| MartinCleaver | how come sshd is not installed and doesn't show in adept? | 00:22 |
| anon32 | does KDE have a keyboard-controlled mouse? | 00:22 |
| anon32 | I need a keypad cursor right now... | 00:23 |
| anon32 | MartinCleaver: apt-get install openssh-server | 00:23 |
| tekteen | MartinCleaver: ssh or ssh-server | 00:23 |
| mneptok | Daisuke_Laptop: at least it's the lunar souythern pole so we don't disturb Moonsanta | 00:23 |
| MartinCleaver | openssh-server is the same as sshd? | 00:23 |
| mneptok | MartinCleaver: openssh-server | 00:23 |
| tekteen | yes | 00:23 |
| MartinCleaver | ok. thanks. | 00:23 |
| tin | stupid windows "installed drivers" for USB HID Keyboard | 00:23 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | moonsanta lives at the lunar south pole. and he has a goatee. | 00:24 |
| tin | except it already has a USB HID Keyboard attached | 00:24 |
| mneptok | :( | 00:24 |
| tin | but at least i got my own keyboard now | 00:24 |
| anon32 | anyone? I'm in serious need of this.... | 00:24 |
| tin | anon32: go to system settings, mouse & keyboard area | 00:24 |
| tin | there is a keypad cursor available | 00:25 |
| anon32 | I need a way to turn it on without actually having a cursor | 00:25 |
| tekteen | anon32: alt+f12 | 00:25 |
| anon32 | alt+f12 doesn't do anything | 00:25 |
| tekteen | then use the arrow keys | 00:25 |
| tekteen | it sucks. but it works | 00:26 |
| anon32 | tekteen: it does work! yay | 00:26 |
| anon32 | how do I click? | 00:26 |
| mneptok | punch the monitor | 00:27 |
| tekteen | anon32: enter | 00:27 |
| MartinCleaver | ok. So if this machine goes belly up again I'll have at least attempted to keep a connection to it | 00:27 |
| anon32 | tekteen: thanks, it's genius | 00:27 |
| tekteen | anon32: np | 00:27 |
| * Daisuke_Laptop sighs | 00:29 | |
| Daisuke_Laptop | i really shouldn't do that | 00:29 |
| m4fia117 | hello | 00:29 |

| psilocyde | is there anyone here famillure with my name? | 00:38 |
| psilocyde | i was hoping i didnt have to rehash my problem | 00:38 |
| psilocyde | re discribe that is | 00:38 |
| psilocyde | well im have issues with apt | 00:39 |
| psilocyde | it keeps breaking | 00:39 |
| BluesKaj | oh sure we have idedtic memories here :) | 00:39 |
| psilocyde | lol | 00:39 |
| psilocyde | right | 00:39 |
| MartinCleaver | how come, adept wanted the install DVD yet is installing from the web? | 00:39 |
| psilocyde | well ive been here alot the past few days | 00:39 |
| psilocyde | any way | 00:40 |
| psilocyde | sec | 00:40 |
| tekteen | MartinCleaver: did it get at least 1 package from the cd? | 00:41 |
| MartinCleaver | not sure | 00:41 |
| tekteen | MartinCleaver: thats prob why | 00:41 |
| MartinCleaver | can I tell from a log file? | 00:42 |
| tekteen | MartinCleaver: look at the output | 00:42 |
| MartinCleaver | in the GUI? | 00:42 |
| mneptok | !enter | psilocyde | 00:42 |
| ubotu | psilocyde: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 00:42 |
| tekteen | MartinCleaver: also you may want to take the DVD repo out of the sources list | 00:42 |
| tekteen | MartinCleaver: yes it the gui | 00:43 |
| MartinCleaver | gui of adept has one line, downloading (18%); http:// ... / | 00:43 |
| MartinCleaver | says nothing there about the DVD | 00:43 |
| MartinCleaver | I'd expected file:// for the DVD | 00:43 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | MartinCleaver: the dvd is apparently still in your sources.list | 00:44 |
| tekteen | MartinCleaver: isn't there a button to show more information | 00:44 |
| MartinCleaver | ah, there is in the GUI a edit software sources button | 00:45 |
| * MartinCleaver was poking around in /etc | 00:45 | |
| tekteen | MartinCleaver: /etc/apt/sources.list (or the gui) | 00:45 |
| MartinCleaver | one of the reasons I am running Kubuntu on the desktop in place of Centos is so they both run a debian variant | 00:46 |
| MartinCleaver | less to think about | 00:46 |
| psilocyde | sorry, well apt keeps breaking. after a freash install i have been trying to do an update, every thing seems to download properly but halveway through installing those updates. adept manager crashes and i get the error like "adept manager was unable to finnish" | 00:47 |
| tin | MartinCleaver: just keep an eye on version skew between debian and ubuntu repos | 00:47 |
| MartinCleaver | funny. only the cdrom is listed as enabled but it looks like it is downloading from http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ | 00:47 |
| MartinCleaver | which respositories might I like in the Third Party list? | 00:48 |
| tin | debian stable is usually behind ubuntu, while debian testing is often ahead on popular packages | 00:48 |
| MartinCleaver | This machine crashed when I first booted into kubuntu this evening. | 00:49 |
| mneptok | psilocyde: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 00:49 |
| MartinCleaver | How muight I diagnose what happened? | 00:49 |
| MartinCleaver | I looked in dmesg and /var/log/messages | 00:49 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | at one point, debian stable was years behind everything else. it's gotten better though | 00:49 |
| psilocyde | ok, ill post the error in a sec for that | 00:50 |
| MartinCleaver | only thing weird was unregistered pardevice around the time of the crash | 00:50 |
| MartinCleaver | my screen blanked and I could not even ping the box | 00:50 |
| psilocyde | i get E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 00:51 |
| tin | do it! | 00:51 |
| tekteen | psilocyde: type it | 00:51 |
| tekteen | psilocyde: with sudo | 00:51 |
| Stoffer | is there any program that will go through a filesystem and find or remove any corrupted files? | 00:51 |
| psilocyde | yep | 00:52 |
| tin | in a unix it's called fsck (File System ChecK) | 00:55 |
| acee1235 | i cant seem to burn anything with k3b it fails when closing the disk just keeps churning away faster and slower indefinitely | 00:55 |
| tin | acee1235: try telling it not to close the disk, maybe your drive is weird | 00:56 |
| tin | many portables and car players will play open discs | 00:56 |
| BluesKaj | acee1235: try formatting the disc , it sometimes helps witholder discs or one that have xposed to heat sources | 00:57 |
| * BluesKaj vows to clean this KB | 00:58 | |
| acee1235 | they are new archiva grade dvds | 00:58 |
| mneptok | BluesKaj: god ida | 00:58 |
| acee1235 | the program wont stop now.... | 00:58 |
| BluesKaj | don't buy the combo dvds , the ones meant for stand alone dvd recorders and pcs...especially the Sonys , they are terrible | 01:00 |
| acee1235 | the drive wont stop spinning i even force killed k3b | 01:00 |
| psilocyde | well i get "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" then i get a prompt back in the terminal | 01:00 |
| Draco | anyone use Quanta? I've heard down to 3.3 supported CSS autocompletion, but I see no such feature in 3.5.6 | 01:00 |
| acee1235 | looks like i get to use to good old screw driver approach to stop it | 01:01 |
| psilocyde | did a search for the defered processing thing and it looks like a known bug | 01:01 |
| Draco | every time you install libraries ldconfig has to run | 01:01 |
| Draco | not sure about deferred processing, do programs requiring the libraries work properly? | 01:01 |
| psilocyde | well i da know ill look | 01:02 |
| Stoffer | anyone here use ktorrent? | 01:02 |
| acee1235 | ok something is wrong with the driver or somthing it did a horrid job of writing to the disk i can see wave in the tracks | 01:03 |
| acee1235 | is there a way to see if the driver is good these disks arent cheap | 01:04 |
| Draco | you mean the drive? | 01:04 |
| acee1235 | no the drive is fine it burns great under windows | 01:05 |
| Draco | that's going to be more expensive than a bunch of disks, though | 01:05 |
| acee1235 | the disks are $4 each | 01:05 |
| Draco | well, try with cheaper disks for test runs | 01:05 |
| tin | acee1235: it may be that the drive is weird, it just has windows drivers that know the weirdness | 01:06 |
| acee1235 | i think we are past test runs it doesnt work | 01:06 |
| tin | also, you simply CAN'T see how "good" a burn is by looking at the tracks | 01:06 |
| acee1235 | are there any fixes or has windows trumped linux once again | 01:06 |
| m4fia | anyone read that NASA uses REHL? | 01:07 |
| Draco | you can use $0.05 disks, or $4 disks, your choice | 01:07 |
| acee1235 | Draco i dont think its the disk ive burned 12 different disks | 01:07 |
| m4fia | did you check the md5's? | 01:07 |
| tin | what happens when you put the disks back in? | 01:07 |
| m4fia | i did that with a Ubuntu install, it usually the .iso image | 01:08 |
| tin | do they get mounted? or does the drive think they're still empty? | 01:08 |
| acee1235 | the drive goes nuts or says its blank | 01:08 |
| acee1235 | im not burning iso's | 01:08 |
| m4fia | o | 01:08 |
| Draco | well, you are at some point | 01:08 |
| acee1235 | just normal data backup | 01:08 |
| acee1235 | we arent getting anywere | 01:09 |
| Draco | do you have another drive, at all? | 01:09 |
| acee1235 | its a laptop and i dont have externer burners | 01:09 |
| m4fia | well do you have a windows machine? | 01:10 |
| acee1235 | its dual boot | 01:10 |
| m4fia | well PowerISO can check for curruption | 01:10 |
| acee1235 | can you wine that? | 01:11 |
| m4fia | after writing it checks | 01:11 |
| tin | i'd zip up the files, send them to the windows partition and try a burn in windows | 01:11 |
| m4fia | idk | 01:11 |
| tin | just make sure the drive didn't go weird between boots | 01:11 |
| m4fia | yeah | 01:11 |
| tin | the drive on my server just suddenly stopped working between boots | 01:12 |
| tin | although, it had been like a year between boots and the drive hadn't been used more than once in the past 5 or 6 years, hehe | 01:12 |
| Draco | Linux is not designed to handle bad hardware, also | 01:12 |
| acee1235 | this has been a persistent problem and ive burned under window seval time and spaced beween linux failures im attempting to go to linux as primary operating system but keep finding that it and hardware dont get alonf | 01:12 |
| acee1235 | define bad | 01:12 |
| Draco | hard disks with tons of bad sectors, etc | 01:13 |
| Draco | one of my friends said it was linux that trashed my system. really the hard drive blew up | 01:14 |
| acee1235 | we arent talking about hard disks and my hard disk is fine | 01:14 |
| tin | does the drive need special drivers in windows? or does it use the built-in ones? | 01:14 |
| tin | ie: did you need to reboot after installing the burning software | 01:14 |
| acee1235 | it works without special drivers | 01:14 |
| tin | maybe check the manufacturer's site | 01:15 |
| acee1235 | i installed xp and it worked immediately after install no rebooting other than what the system does on its own | 01:15 |
| Draco | my wireless card works without special drivers, and on windows boxes it installs no less than 3 background daemons | 01:15 |
| tin | there' nothing "wrong" with linux, it's just trying to speak to the drive using known standards, and the drive may have quirks that only the windows drivers know about | 01:15 |
| acee1235 | great so i have to build the system around the os | 01:16 |
| Draco | I've actually seen windows fail more when it comes to CD drives, regarding reading | 01:16 |
| acee1235 | is there a list of compatible hardware with linux or is it shoot and miss | 01:17 |
| Draco | No, you just need a burner from a reputable manufacturer | 01:17 |
| tin | acee1235: with many companies refusing to release specs and/or driver sources (possibly unable due ot NDAs), sometimes you do have to build around the OS if you want to be dedicated to free software | 01:17 |
| tin | i personally have had no hardware imcompatibilities besides graphics and wifi drivers | 01:18 |
| acee1235 | those are pretty substantial issues | 01:18 |
| tin | i need the ATI binary driver and i need to grab the firmware off my wifi card | 01:19 |
| tin | it's easily do-able | 01:19 |
| tin | it just puts off alot of people simply because it has to be done | 01:19 |
| Draco | wifi stuff is heavily harassed by United States government, specifically the FCC | 01:19 |
| tin | where the ubiquity of windows means the drivers are already there | 01:19 |
| tin | Draco: in this instance it's just Broadcom being private about firmware, which can be pulled right off the card anyway | 01:20 |
| tin | it's just an extra step | 01:20 |
| acee1235 | fine when i get money to buy a new laptop i may return to llinux for now its more of a headache than a benifit with current issues | 01:20 |
| tin | or you can use the ndis wrappers, which work fine anyway | 01:21 |
| acee1235 | thank you good night | 01:21 |
| tin | acee, why don't you keep it installed, and use it for everything you can | 01:21 |
| roko | hello | 01:21 |
| Draco | tin: well, the one which has a regulatory daemon, which is binary, is the one I'm talking about and in my old HP (which has broken PS, mobo, and blown up HD) | 01:21 |
| tin | perhaps the next kernel update will have better support for your drive | 01:22 |
| pedro | how i go to hady channel | 01:22 |
| pedro | ?? | 01:22 |
| pedro | i want to go there | 01:22 |
| tin | till then, ust use windows to do your backups | 01:22 |
| roko | how i change the chanel | 01:22 |
| tin | i still use windows to play games, but i'm in kubuntu for everything else (oh an IE web site testing in windows) | 01:22 |
| acee1235 | tin because for the majority of things im doing is does not function and it makes no sense to me to use an os that is less efficet at meeting my needs which are right now to pay a mortgage | 01:23 |
| pedro | !hardy | 01:23 |
| 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 | 01:23 |
| tin | majority of stuff? | 01:24 |
| sd13243 | shoutcast servers up again..yay | 01:25 |
| acee1235 | i cannot back of files i cannot distribute cd/dvd's of material to clients cups does not support my printer so i cannot print my homework. the graphics card is incompatable and ive had people try to fix that for the last month offering them $1000 if they could get linux to work equally as well as my windows os for my needs. they failed. | 01:25 |
| acee1235 | backup | 01:25 |
| acee1235 | i get payed $125/hr so every hour i waste trying to hack it together im lossing possible consulting time | 01:27 |
| Draco | what sort of consulting work? or rather not say | 01:28 |
| Sanne | acee1235: better complain to the hardware companies that don't support linux. | 01:28 |

| tekteen | hi Apple_Cat_ | 01:30 |
| acee1235 | im not trying to rant on linux i love what its trying to do i simply need something that works. as per consulting i cosult with the military and various government branches about autonomous vehicle design. i created an autonomous helicopter my sophmore year and it went from there | 01:30 |
| tekteen | acee1235: I am almost a sophmore (high school) :-) | 01:31 |
| acee1235 | im in Texas Tech, im a junior age 19 | 01:32 |
| sd13243 | cannonical has professional support | 01:32 |
| acee1235 | wonderful sand bowl | 01:32 |
| Draco | Well, choosing the software because of the hardware isn't always bad. | 01:32 |
| pushax | what dir do I use for KTTS ? | 01:33 |
| tin | acee1235: works for doing what though? is kubuntu working for web browsing and email and word processing? | 01:33 |
| tin | i would use it for that, and if you need windows for something, use that | 01:33 |
| tin | why are you trying linux anyway? windowsxp not working for something? | 01:34 |
| acee1235 | yes but then i have to print the stuff i typed in the word processor along with CAD drawings burn it to 3 encrypted disks and send them off. how much of that can i currently do on this pc | 01:34 |
| NickPresta | Does anyone successfully run XFCE with Kubuntu? The last time I tried to install xfce (back in Dapper, I guess), I had various problems where XFCE would conflict with KDE. Should I just install xubuntu-desktop? | 01:36 |
| acee1235 | im trying linux because i like the freedom of it being open source and because i got a bit of heat for being a SC EE dual major who had not used linux | 01:36 |
| Draco | If you are a CS major and haven't used linux or other unixish, /then/ you should be ashamed | 01:37 |
| acee1235 | its not necessary | 01:39 |
| crimsun_ | Draco: that's a bit extreme | 01:39 |
| acee1235 | most of what i do is in assembly or hard coded | 01:39 |
| acee1235 | what do you do draco? | 01:40 |
| Draco | crimsun_: I don't mean is a *nix user, just used it at one point | 01:40 |
| Draco | (excluding those who did assembly, or machine language, or something equally hard to master) | 01:41 |

| acee1235 | nice, good luck make contacts. my stomach is commanding me to remove myself from my cave and venture out for food so i must go | 01:44 |
| Draco | I've got a rather annoying algo class, not helped any by the fact we are using a pascal book for C++ | 01:47 |
| NickPresta | Draco, at least you get to learn about C++. My high school class was teaching VB 6.0 at the time on a couple K6's. :) | 01:49 |

| NickPresta | In case you haven't seen it yet, #kubuntu, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ | 01:58 |
| MartinCleaver | reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu - where do I get the list of sources to add ? | 01:59 |
| tekteen | MartinCleaver: which ones do you want? | 02:01 |
| MartinCleaver | What are my options? | 02:01 |
| Jahromeo | can anyone explain the diff between app-get remove and purge? | 02:01 |
| tekteen | Jahromeo: purge gets rid of config files | 02:02 |
| Jahromeo | so it would get rid of the install files as well? | 02:02 |
| Jahromeo | remove just removes app, purge removes app + install files? | 02:02 |
| Jahromeo | or do I have that incorrect? | 02:02 |
| Pici | Thats correct | 02:02 |
| tekteen | Jahromeo: sudo apt-get --purge remove blah | 02:02 |
| Jahromeo | that would then purge + remove? | 02:02 |
| Jahromeo | so it would del the files downloaded for install and uninstall the app at the same time? | 02:03 |
| MartinCleaver | making a network share my home directory - best done by editing fstab? Or is there a GUI way? | 02:03 |
| tekteen | Jahromeo: yes | 02:03 |
| tekteen | Jahromeo: remove removes the installed files | 02:03 |
| Jahromeo | it wouldnt del the option to dl those files again off my repo tho would it? | 02:03 |
| tekteen | purge removes the config | 02:03 |
| tekteen | no | 02:03 |
| Jahromeo | thanks tekteen easy to remember it then | 02:04 |
| Jahromeo | taking off kiba dock | 02:04 |
| tekteen | it is a way to remove the config files as well as the program | 02:04 |
| Jahromeo | and trying awn | 02:04 |
| Jahromeo | might find the dependencies are similar tho would i not? | 02:04 |
| Jahromeo | my synaptic is broken check this out | 02:04 |
| Jahromeo | kdesudo - command not found - when i enter in password for synaptic | 02:05 |
| Jahromeo | stupid frontends always break | 02:05 |
| tekteen | MartinCleaver: that is not a good idea | 02:05 |
| MartinCleaver | using a network share for home dir? | 02:05 |
| tekteen | yep | 02:06 |
| MartinCleaver | hmm. we used to do that 15 years ago | 02:06 |
| MartinCleaver | but, what do you suggest? | 02:06 |
| crimsun_ | Jahromeo: kdesu, or gksu | 02:06 |
| tekteen | you should have some sort of encryption, authentication, ect | 02:06 |
| MartinCleaver | I do | 02:06 |
| tekteen | cool | 02:06 |
| tekteen | nfs tab is the only way I know of | 02:07 |
| MartinCleaver | ok. ta. | 02:07 |
| tekteen | fstab not nfs | 02:07 |
| * MartinCleaver nods | 02:07 | |
| tekteen | I have lost my mind | 02:07 |
| MartinCleaver | too much nodding? | 02:07 |
| tekteen | lol | 02:07 |
| Jahromeo | crimsun_ kdesu? | 02:08 |
| tekteen | MartinCleaver: I personally use openvpn with nfs | 02:08 |
| crimsun_ | Jahromeo: (meant kdesudo) | 02:09 |
| MartinCleaver | My network disk is on my lan... | 02:09 |
| tekteen | MartinCleaver: ok | 02:09 |
| geggam | openvpn with nfs ? | 02:09 |
| tekteen | MartinCleaver: the issue is that I have a wireless network | 02:10 |
| tekteen | I am therefor paranoid | 02:10 |
| tekteen | therefore* | 02:10 |
| geggam | u are silly | 02:10 |
| tekteen | geggam: yep | 02:10 |
| crimsun_ | Jahromeo: in actuality, you should be able to use either as long as the 'kdesudo' package is installed. | 02:10 |
| Jahromeo | says no arguement supplied | 02:11 |
| crimsun_ | what syntax are you using? | 02:11 |
| tekteen | inside my head: ... ... ... ... ... ... | 02:11 |
| Jahromeo | hell i dont even know what it does my snaptic just is having hissies | 02:11 |
| Jahromeo | hmmm i installed kiba-dock - now i dont want it but if i try remove the packages i installed it tries to remove half my other paps | 02:13 |
| Jahromeo | what is avant window manager called in the repos? | 02:14 |
| MartinCleaver | tekteen: as long as its encrypted I'd not fret too much | 02:17 |
| tekteen | MartinCleaver: I don't either | 02:18 |
| ysome1hasLiz | hello all, Is there any way to run interactive cd's in kubuntu?? | 02:19 |
| tekteen | ysome1hasLiz: what do you mean? | 02:20 |
| MartinCleaver | so, is there a repository list somewhere? | 02:20 |
| ysome1hasLiz | I have a language learning CD and kubuntu won't execute it | 02:20 |
| MartinCleaver | e.g. I heard about a partner repository, for things like skype and vmware, but it's location eluding me | 02:21 |
| Jahromeo | ! medibuntu | 02:21 |
| ubotu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 02:21 |
| Jahromeo | also doubt you will be able to get hold of vmare but something like virtualbox works just as well @ martincleaver | 02:21 |

| ysome1hasLiz | I'm able to see the contents of the cd, but can't install it | 02:23 |

| Dragnslcr | rrbox- it already is | 02:36 |
| boggystudios | what is the file that Knetworkmanager looks at? | 02:37 |
| foibles | why does evolution keep freezing on me! | 02:37 |
| foibles | whats a good alternative for kde | 02:37 |
| Arwen | rrbox, it's out. But you need to use an unofficial repository or move to Hardy. | 02:37 |
| rrbox | ahhh that's why | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | You mean an alternative for Evolution? | 02:37 |
| Arwen | foibles, um, kmail/kgroupware? *shrug* | 02:37 |
| foibles | Dr_willis, sure | 02:37 |
| foibles | something like outlook | 02:37 |
| foibles | with mail/calender | 02:38 |
| Admiral_Chicago | Kmail | 02:38 |
| Arwen | Dr_willis, I think me means "a good alternative *to* Evolution for KDE" | 02:38 |
| Dr_willis | I dont use any. :) i was just clarifying what you were asking. | 02:38 |
| Dr_willis | It pays to be concise on irc. | 02:38 |
| foibles | Dr_willis, indeed | 02:38 |
| rrbox | kontact's way more loaded than evolution from my testing, and better at importing outlook data | 02:38 |
| foibles | Dr_willis, you don't use a desktop calender, mail reader? | 02:38 |
| foibles | rrbox, does it have a calender? | 02:38 |
| Dr_willis | foibles, i dont use any of those.. Other then the desktop applet that shows a basic calander. :) | 02:39 |
| rrbox | kontact's got everything | 02:39 |
| * Dr_willis is a luddite. | 02:39 | |
| Arwen | is that a kind of mineral? o.O | 02:39 |
| foibles | rrbox, whats the difference between kmail and kontact? | 02:39 |
| nosrednaekim | boggystudios» /etc/network/interfaces? | 02:39 |
| rrbox | kontact is the suite for all of them individual ones foibles | 02:39 |
| Dr_willis | Luddite - one that shuns mondern tech. :) | 02:39 |
| nosrednaekim | foibles» kontact contains kmail, as well as notes, contact book,etc | 02:39 |
| foibles | nosrednaekim, i see | 02:40 |
| rrbox | foibles: and the "must" is kmymoney | 02:40 |
| rrbox | kontact is pretty much like outlook, but more | 02:40 |
| boggystudios | nosrednaekim: yeah I think thats it, thanks | 02:40 |
| foibles | rrbox, im dling, ill know in just a sec | 02:41 |
| foibles | evolution is pretty nice, but it keeps freezing | 02:41 |
| foibles | i suspect that gtk is the culprit | 02:41 |
| rrbox | foibles: if ur importing easiest is cvs format, and save the template when you map the categories correctly | 02:41 |
| foibles | rrbox, kontact is just what i wanted | 02:42 |
| foibles | spanks! | 02:42 |
| rrbox | evolution is really nice, it just gives like two lines for notes in contacts | 02:42 |
| foibles | rrbox, evolution has a nicer gui as well | 02:43 |
| rrbox | and for me i have lots of notes for each contact, so scrolling on two lines was a joke | 02:43 |
| rrbox | i just wish kontact was able to dial using skype then i'm be the bomb | 02:44 |

| Dr_willis | 100% markup on the price. :) | 02:57 |

| mneptok | Arwen: or lsmod | grep SSE | 03:27 |

| kaan | i installed the application | 03:28 |
| kaan | so just tryin to use the command... | 03:28 |
| mneptok | kaan: in what app? | 03:28 |
| kaan | in the terminal | 03:28 |
| grul | NickPresta, I think it's just "aptitude remove" | 03:28 |
| mneptok | kaan: et tu en Quebec? | 03:28 |
| grul | I'm not certain though | 03:28 |
| kaan | no | 03:28 |
| mneptok | k | 03:28 |
| kaan | msg mneptok no | 03:28 |
| mneptok | kaan: what app in the terminal? sounds like irssi. | 03:29 |
| Arwen | mneptok, no results with SSE in name | 03:29 |
| kaan | i just tried the connect command and then it said use sudo apt get connect-proxy to use the command | 03:29 |
| kaan | then i installed it using that command | 03:29 |
| mneptok | Arwen: yeah, i think it's built in, and not used if the CPU doesn;t have SSE optimiztions | 03:29 |
| mneptok | +a | 03:30 |
| kaan | now im tryin to use the connect command and it sort of works but it doesnt actually connect.. | 03:30 |
| grul | NickPresta, after some reading I'm sure enough to say that aptitude forces the removal of unused dependencies, while with apt-get you can choose if you want to do it | 03:30 |
| kaan | it doesn't even ask my username | 03:30 |
| mneptok | kaan: there is no command "connect" | 03:30 |
| mneptok | kaan: connect to what? with what protocol? | 03:30 |
| kaan | SSH | 03:30 |
| kaan | i normally use that application or putty | 03:31 |
| mneptok | then the command is "ssh" | 03:31 |
| kaan | to connect | 03:31 |
| kaan | hm ok | 03:31 |

| icanhasadmin | fignew: that's very witty of you | 04:44 |
| fignew | sorry :( | 04:44 |
| icanhasadmin | fignew: you + ton = tasty :) | 04:44 |
| Nabiki | I have a quick question. I am installing kubuntu, and I am setting up partitions. I have a 320 GM drive, but it seems to be showing it as a 64GB or so drive. Any ideas? | 04:45 |
| fignew | doihasflavor? | 04:45 |
| Nabiki | I noticed this as I was telling it to set up 1GB for swap, 1GB for /boot, and 40GB for /, and it was almost full. | 04:45 |
| icanhasadmin | definately has a flavor | 04:45 |
| fignew | Nabiki: has it worked under any other operating system? | 04:45 |
| Nabiki | Brand new drive. | 04:45 |
| icanhasadmin | is it a maxtor? | 04:45 |
| Nabiki | WD | 04:46 |

| Nabiki | Should I try booting into windows, and hacking it up there? ;P | 04:47 |
| icanhasadmin | tell me that's a joke | 04:47 |
| Nabiki | Hehe. | 04:47 |
| Nabiki | I am actually gibing the Linux setup the larger of the two hard drives. ^_^ I only bother with windows forgames. For anything requiring actual productivity, I have been using Linux for quite a while. | 04:48 |

| jumpkick | Is there any way to make automounting just consistently work in Kubuntu/KDE? | 04:49 |
| jumpkick | it's really frustrating that it only seems to detect and mount media about 1/3rd of the time | 04:49 |
| icanhasadmin | jumpkick: is there anyway to make automounting not consistently work in kubuntu? | 04:49 |
| Nabiki | jumpkick: Are the items in your fstab? | 04:49 |
| icanhasadmin | i'm sorry, i'm obviously not being useful. goodnight all | 04:50 |
| jumpkick | icanhasadmin: attach a removable hard drive | 04:50 |
| jumpkick | Nabiki: nope, thought the point was plug in a USB device and the mounter figures it out | 04:51 |
| Nabiki | I see. | 04:51 |
| Nabiki | jumpkick: I can't help much. ;/ I haven't had that problem yet. | 04:52 |
| jumpkick | ah... | 04:52 |
| jumpkick | well | 04:52 |
| * Nabiki was thinking other issue. | 04:52 | |
| jumpkick | thanks anyway | 04:52 |
| jumpkick | I boot up and sometimes I get a "Media" icon like a USB key, I click and it mounts the drive as my user... | 04:52 |
| Nabiki | As long as all the sbus and hal stuff installs correctly, it SHOULD just work. | 04:52 |
| jumpkick | other times I get the icon, I click on it but it doesn't mount, but if I click "open folder as root" it mounts | 04:53 |
| jumpkick | but the device path is all different | 04:53 |
| Nabiki | Isee. | 04:53 |
| jumpkick | sometimes I get no icons at all if I go into the Media folder, not even the internal hard drive which is always supposed to be there | 04:53 |
| Nabiki | I am going to reboot and see if vista sees my new drive. ^^;; Then I will find a tool to format itwtih. | 04:53 |
| jumpkick | aggravating | 04:54 |
| jumpkick | Nabiki: good luck | 04:54 |
| Nabiki | Thanks | 04:54 |
| Apple_Cat_ | same usb port ? | 04:54 |
| jumpkick | Apple_Cat_: yes... the drive is a permanently attached, permanently powered external USB drive | 04:56 |
| jumpkick | same thing happens for samba share browser too | 04:56 |
| Apple_Cat_ | hrm ...? | 04:56 |
| Apple_Cat_ | everything is ok in your bios ? | 04:57 |
| Apple_Cat_ | ...not that it would make much difference, hmmm | 04:57 |
| jumpkick | Apple_Cat_: yup everything is fine | 04:57 |
| jumpkick | I can see the drive in the dmesg | 04:58 |
| jumpkick | during start up | 04:58 |
| Apple_Cat_ | is the drive new ? | 04:58 |
| jumpkick | sometimes the order the USB bus detects it in changes... | 04:58 |
| jumpkick | sometimes its detected as sdbc1, sometimes sdb1 | 04:58 |
| jumpkick | but it doesn't matter | 04:59 |
| jumpkick | the mounter should at least see the drive | 04:59 |
| jumpkick | I can mount it manually | 04:59 |
| jumpkick | it's a super PITA | 04:59 |
| jumpkick | the drive is a 750GB drive, it's less then a year old, but not exactly new | 04:59 |
| jumpkick | same happens for USB sticks though | 05:00 |
| Apple_Cat_ | I'm assuming you have asked google but didn't find anything ? | 05:00 |
| jumpkick | I have asked the google, the google tells me that Kubuntu shipped with some very strange DVD automounting bug | 05:01 |
| jumpkick | I'm not sure that it is the same | 05:01 |
| jumpkick | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/95868 | 05:01 |
| Apple_Cat_ | so sometimes it automounts sometimes it doesn't, rather than it always doesn't automount | 05:03 |
| Apple_Cat_ | (with some poor grammar thrown in for good measure ) | 05:04 |
| Nabiki | Ok.... Fdisk saw everything. I am not sure what kind of crack the installer is on. ;P hehehe | 05:04 |
| jumpkick | Apple_Cat_: yes... the behaviour is erratic | 05:06 |
| Apple_Cat_ | sorry, i g2g for a bit, just hang around here and I'm sure someone will know what's wrong | 05:07 |
| jumpkick | thanks Apple_Cat | 05:08 |
| jumpkick | I may just file a launchpad bug or post to the forum | 05:08 |
| Nabiki | Is 1GB too big for Swap? | 05:08 |
| jumpkick | Nabiki: I have 1GB for swap | 05:09 |
| jumpkick | 4GB ram | 05:09 |
| jumpkick | it never gets used | 05:09 |
| jumpkick | Linux kernel is awesome | 05:09 |
| Apple_Cat_ | that it is :) | 05:09 |
| Nabiki | Hehe. | 05:10 |
| jumpkick | htop is really nice | 05:10 |
| jumpkick | I like it a lot | 05:10 |
| Nabiki | I am running 32 bit vista, so clost to half my ram is ignored. 3 1GB strips, and a 2GB strip. The 2GB strip takes it over 4 GB, so the rest is ignored. | 05:10 |
| Nabiki | It reads as 3 gigs | 05:11 |
| jumpkick | yeah, windows is not so good for that... | 05:11 |
| Nabiki | Under Linux though, it will read it all. hehe. | 05:11 |
| Nabiki | Well, if you run 32bit linux, you can possibly have the same issue. | 05:11 |
| jumpkick | we had Win2k servers at my work you could do some giggering to get it to use 3GB for application and 1GB for OS | 05:11 |
| jumpkick | it was not the greatest | 05:11 |
| Nabiki | Hehe | 05:12 |
| jumpkick | I think 32-bit linux can do 4+GB if you turn on the right addressing param in the kernel | 05:12 |
| jumpkick | probably take a bit a performance hit for it though | 05:13 |
| Nabiki | The thing is, you have to turn on 64 bit addressing. | 05:13 |
| jumpkick | 32-bit limit for addressable space is 4GB (that's how many addresses you can have in 32-bit unsigned integer) | 05:13 |
| jumpkick | yeah, the kernel has to use "long"s to address over 4GB | 05:14 |
| jumpkick | unless you are running a 64-bit CPU which can treat an int as a 64-bit unsigned int I believe | 05:14 |
| jumpkick | so no performance hit | 05:14 |
| jumpkick | at least on mem addressing | 05:15 |
| Nabiki | I think that is the main difference between 32 bit and 64 bit inthe kernel. The big performance hit would come from running everything 32 bit with a 64 bit kernel. ;P But fromwhat I hear the hit is not so bad as to be noticed on most home machines. | 05:15 |
| Nabiki | I am running a 64 bit processer so I will runthe 64 bit kernel for now. | 05:16 |
| jumpkick | I don't think there's a big hit for running 32-bit on 64-bit | 05:16 |
| * Nabiki will have to learn how to set up a dual lib environment for programming stuff too. | 05:16 | |
| jumpkick | mind you my 64-bit cpu is so fast | 05:17 |
| jumpkick | you can just use VMWare server and set it to 32-bit guest for testing | 05:17 |
| Nabiki | I just hope my system will actually get use out of a dual core. Though, I payed less than a 100$ for it. ;P | 05:17 |
| jumpkick | Dual core is useful | 05:17 |
| Nabiki | I am thinking more for compiling. :-) | 05:17 |
| jumpkick | SMP -> much less slowdown when things get hectic | 05:18 |
| jumpkick | make -j 2 | 05:18 |
| jumpkick | but some things can not be built using make with parallel jobs | 05:18 |
| Nabiki | I mean as far as compiling 32 bit apps under 64 bit os. | 05:18 |
| jumpkick | yeah, for that I would use a chroot with all i386 libs or a VM | 05:19 |
| Nabiki | First thing I need to do is update my video drivers. O.o;; The fonts look ugly under the live CD. hehe ;P | 05:19 |
| jumpkick | indeed | 05:19 |
| Nabiki | the live CD is convenient. and with more ram, it is easier to use. :) | 05:20 |
| Nabiki | O.o The last system I built had 1GB of ram. Things did not run smooth while I was installing. hehe | 05:20 |
| Nabiki | I do however approve of the minimalistic approach the current live CD has to what it has "installed" on the CD. Makes things run a lot more smoothly than if they try to load everything. | 05:22 |
| Arwen | ☭yay for weird unicode characters☭ | 05:23 |
| Nabiki | HEhehe. | 05:27 |

| strog_ | it is doing it all by itself | 08:55 |
| Lynoure | strog_: then do try with another usb port. And if that does not help, with a different usb cable perhaps. The cable might be subtly faulty. | 08:56 |
| strog_ | i have another kubuntu machine and i connect my digicam with the same cable and it doesnt do any problems | 08:57 |
| strog_ | when i use the rear usb port it works on this new machine normally | 08:57 |
| Lynoure | strog_: then could be something subtly wrong with that particular usb port in the new machine. usb sticks might take less power than your cam. | 08:58 |
| strog_ | could be, but then it would do the same problems on the old kubuntu machine | 08:59 |
| Lynoure | strog_: no... I meant with the port on the new machine | 08:59 |
| strog_ | yeah but the rear ports have the same powersupply as the front | 09:00 |
| strog_ | i would tip that it is that the motherboard is a new one | 09:00 |
| strog_ | and that the bug for was never found until this day | 09:00 |

| heath | hello all... I'm having problems upgrading to a new kernel... can anyone help? | 12:27 |
| intelikey | heath maybe. | 12:27 |
| heath | I am just trying to run apt-get upgrade, and the install hangs on running grub | 12:28 |
| intelikey | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 12:28 |
| amerigo_ | I've seen this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/ but it's refered only to tranfer file... | 12:28 |
| amerigo_ | i need something to use sony ericsson k608i like a modem... | 12:29 |
| intelikey | heath if that doesn't get it, let me know. | 12:29 |
| amerigo_ | an obex tool i image | 12:30 |
| heath | yeah... the problem is I have a SATA card with mirrored drives and had to follow the fake raid how to to set up the system | 12:30 |
| heath | now I think grub can't figure out where my drives are... and I don't know how to install the kernel so I can do grub manually | 12:31 |
| jussi01 | amerigo_: I think you can do that with kppp but im not certain | 12:31 |
| amerigo_ | thank you again jussi | 12:32 |
| intelikey | heath umm edit /boot/grub/menu.lst by hand and add the new kernel+initramfs pair sudo mv /usr/sbin/update-grub . && sudo ln -s /bin/true /usr/sbin/update-grub && sudo dpkg --configure -a | 12:33 |
| intelikey | it's a work around for your particular issue. not at all a fix. you can later move the script "~/update-grub" back into /usr/sbin if you want to. | 12:35 |
| intelikey | heath the replacing process goes thusly. sudo rm /usr/sbin/update-grub && sudo mv ~/update-grub /usr/sbin | 12:36 |
| intelikey | just mentioned so you don't inadvertantly overwrite /bin/true | 12:36 |
| intelikey | which would be commical on some systems. every time "true" was called it would update the menu.list :))) | 12:37 |
| intelikey | although very anoying on others. | 12:38 |
| heath | wow that's a lot to take in... | 12:38 |
| Sbucatone | heya well my problem is this : i have installed open movie editor form repository but i have not effects so i know i must install a damned plug in :D but i can't get it | 12:40 |
| Sbucatone | anyone knows how to build that plug in | 12:40 |
| Sbucatone | ? | 12:40 |
| intelikey | heath also of note. i think that the initramfs for the kernel is generated in the update-grub script. so if the new one doesn't exist yet or is empty then# sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initramfs.img-<the version you are working on> <the version you are working on> <only if you need to manually generate a new one. | 12:40 |
| === schamann09 is now known as schamann09_ | ||
| === schamann09_ is now known as schamann09__ | ||
| heath | so basically I am moving update-grub so it will not run... linking true in update grubs place and what's the deconfigure going to do? | 12:41 |
| intelikey | heath the "<the version you are working on>" for the vmlinuz-<the version you are working on> and initramfs.img-<the version you are working on> must match the one you add to menu.lst | 12:42 |
| heath | if I just add those... do I need to do the firest thing you told me to do? | 12:42 |
| intelikey | heath in answer to your Q ^ it will finish setting up all updated packages that might have stalled because of the issue you faced | 12:42 |
| heath | first ** | 12:42 |
| intelikey | heath yes | 12:43 |
| intelikey | if you don't let dpkg (or in this case "trick it into") finish setting up all packages then every time you "mess" with any package manager you will have the same problem | 12:44 |

| intelikey | step 1.) sudo mv /usr/sbin/update-grub . && sudo ln -s /bin/true /usr/sbin/update-grub && sudo dpkg --configure -a #<<< finishes installing/setting up all packages "we hope" step 2.) sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst #<<< which i actually mentioned first. and should be accompanied with something like (ls -l /boot) is the point where you manually add the new kernel and initramfs.img pair in a listing in the menu list for g | 12:48 |
| intelikey | # <<< which is only ran if needed as per discovered in the "ls -l /boot" command makes a new initramfs image step 4.) sudo rm /usr/sbin/update-grub && sudo mv ~/update-grub /usr/sbin # <<<simply puts things back to factory (sorta) | 12:50 |
| heath | thanks a ton for the help... I will give that a shot. | 12:51 |
| intelikey | there you have the whole thing in two posts ^ copy and paste it some place safe. | 12:51 |

| nosrednaekim | Oakbox» right.... you changed it to a lighter scheme in kde4, and it changed their look within KDE4..... but when you logged into kde3 again, the colors were dark again. Thats the problem? | 15:18 |

| ubotu | Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 15:34 |
| blackflag-at-wor | how can I download a directory via sftp? | 15:34 |
| blackflag-at-wor | can someone help? | 15:34 |
| Vermux | which package should I download? xine-ui? | 15:34 |
| jussi01 | blackflag-at-wor: sftp:/address in konq | 15:35 |
| Vermux | xine-plugin? | 15:35 |
| blackflag-at-wor | I want to do this under console | 15:35 |
| jussi01 | Vermux: it would help for you to tell us what you are trying to do? | 15:35 |
| jussi01 | !scp | 15:36 |
| ubotu | SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 15:36 |
| blackflag-at-wor | ahh, is that not possible with sftp? | 15:37 |
| jussi01 | blackflag-at-wor: I thin there will be a directory option for scp | 15:37 |
| blackflag-at-wor | yes, I was looking for this but can not find a hint | 15:37 |
| Oakbox | blackflag-at-wor: i think you can use -r on a dir :) | 15:37 |
| Vermux | jussi01: Im trying to watch the video in http://www.nrg.co.il/online/10/ART1/503/329.html | 15:38 |
| Oakbox | blackflag-at-wor: scp -r bob@remote:/dir ./ as an example | 15:38 |
| blackflag-at-wor | hmm, when I do get -r I get invalid command | 15:38 |
| Vermux | jussi01: it doesnt work | 15:39 |
| Vermux | jussi01: vlc doesnt play it | 15:39 |
| Vermux | jussi01: Im using firefox | 15:39 |
| jussi01 | !enter | Vermux | 15:39 |
| ubotu | Vermux: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 15:39 |
| Vermux | jussi01: since cuplayer cannot be used under Linux, I installed the followingL http://userstyles.org/styles/2208 | 15:40 |
| Oakbox | blackflag-at-wor: or scp bob@remote:/dir/* ./ i know something like that works... | 15:41 |
| nosrednaekim | Oakbox» sorry, I had to go... did you fix it? | 15:41 |
| Oakbox | nosrednaekim: no i havent :( no one else seems to have an answer for me | 15:42 |
| nosrednaekim | Oakbox» how did you remove kde4? you probably didn't remove everything. | 15:42 |
| Oakbox | nosrednaekim: i did: sudo apt-get purge ked4-core | 15:42 |
| Oakbox | nosrednaekim: thats all i did to install it.... | 15:43 |
| blackflag-at-wor | ahh cool that works, thanks! | 15:43 |
| Oakbox | blackflag-at-wor: np :) | 15:43 |
| nosrednaekim | Oakbox» ok, now you need to do "sudo apt-get autoremove" | 15:43 |
| blackflag-at-wor | Im wondering how to to this with sftp, is there a way? | 15:43 |
| Oakbox | nosrednaekim: aah ok i will give it a go | 15:44 |
| nosrednaekim | blackflag-at-wor» to do what? sorry, I got here a bit late | 15:44 |
| nosrednaekim | Oakbox» kde4-core is simply a metapackage | 15:45 |
| blackflag-at-wor | download a directory with sftp | 15:45 |
| nosrednaekim | so removing it does almost nothing | 15:45 |
| blackflag-at-wor | I was only able to download a file but not a directory | 15:46 |
| jussi01 | blackflag-at-wor: man sftp ;) | 15:46 |
| blackflag-at-wor | hmm i was looking at man, I will look again!! | 15:46 |
| Oakbox | nosrednaekim: aah good to know, though you will not like my results :) it still has the dark colours and the .kde4 dir still comes back when i run texmaker once i have deleted it.... :( | 15:47 |
| blackflag-at-wor | thanks for help!!! | 15:47 |
| nosrednaekim | man doesn't say anything about Dir's that I can see | 15:47 |
| nosrednaekim | then again... it doesn't say ti doesn't work for dirs | 15:48 |
| nosrednaekim | Oakbox» humph... | 15:48 |

| zimon | rewati: alright. exactly the same as mine. that isn't supported by ubuntu's snd-hda-intel driver ... they misconfigured something | 19:18 |
| rewati | zimon ok then how to get it work | 19:18 |
| zimon | rewati: you need to get ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.16.tar.bz2 and compile the driver manually | 19:18 |

| rewati | zimon i downloaded it now how to compile it and install it | 19:21 |
| zimon | rewati: you need to run ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-card-options=hda-codec-sigmatel,hda-codec-conexant | 19:21 |

| rewati | zimon i installed it and it was sucess | 19:38 |
| rewati | zimon but still there is no sound | 19:39 |
| zimon | rewati: so you've got sound now? | 19:39 |
| rewati | it gave waring that it is muted | 19:39 |
| zimon | rewati: ah. run alsamixer in a konsole and unmute all channels | 19:39 |
| rewati | so i started alsa mixer and i saw it was not muted it was full | 19:39 |
| rewati | zimon ok i did that but still its not workin | 19:40 |
| zimon | rewati: what did the two digits beneath the bars say? 00 or MM? | 19:40 |

| rewati | zimon ok | 19:43 |
| rewati | zimon how??? | 19:43 |
| zimon | rewati: maybe i forgot something ... you could try recompile it with --with-card-options=all .... that makes the driver a bit large, but doesn't cause problems | 19:44 |
| zimon | rewati: or you didn't reload the module properly. do the last lines of dmesg show something with snd-hda-intel? | 19:47 |

| Arwen | actually, the configuration I'm going for has less effects than most people's kwin setups | 20:16 |
| * Arwen just wants the GPU rendering | 20:16 | |
| tekteen | you need a good driver then | 20:16 |
| aaroncampbell | I use the scale plugin, and I set "Initiate Window Picker for All Windows" to Screen Edge TopLeft . . . I use that for switching back and forth a lot, because it lets me switch to the program I'm looking for without worrying about what desktop it's on, or what other programs it's behind | 20:18 |
| philast | Hi | 20:21 |
| harmental | how can i check if CONFIG_HOTPLUG is enabled? | 20:22 |
| tekteen | hi | 20:22 |
| philast | I had a bit of a problem with a recent package update that's left me without crypto support when I boot. Bit of a problem. I can mount the partition under the Live CD but want to roll back the package updates so I can boot normally. | 20:22 |
| zimon | harmental: grep CONFIG_HOTPLUG /boot/config-`uname -r` | 20:23 |
| philast | It's to do with libvolume. I posted a message here: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3091891.0 but I'm feeling impatient :-P | 20:23 |
| * beautifulsnow asks: is there an utility that allows me to mount/unmount volumes on my fstab? | 20:23 | |
| tekteen | beautifulsnow: mount? | 20:24 |
| harmental | zimon: thx | 20:24 |
| philast | I wonder if anyone can offer a solution. | 20:24 |
| tekteen | beautifulsnow: you mean command line or gui? | 20:24 |
| beautifulsnow | tekteen, GUI | 20:24 |
| tekteen | beautifulsnow: konqueror prob will | 20:24 |
| tekteen | beautifulsnow: go to media:/ | 20:24 |
| beautifulsnow | tekteen, right now I have to unplug then unplug the usb drive, to trick ubuntu into mounting it for me ;) I dont feel like typing sudo mount blah blah all the time | 20:25 |
| tekteen | then right click to mount and unmount | 20:25 |
| tekteen | beautifulsnow: konqueror does it | 20:26 |
| * beautifulsnow blushes | 20:27 | |
| zimon | beautifulsnow: are you sure? if the usb drive is plugged in during boot, it's mounted to /media/disk or something similar, but not displayed on your desktop | 20:27 |
| beautifulsnow | well its supposed to mount it at boot, it has before, i didnt change anything. but everytime i log in now, i go to amarok (gotta have my tunes ;) ) and it doenst play anything (my collection is on usb drive) | 20:28 |
| beautifulsnow | then I realize the usb isnt mounted, and manually mount it | 20:28 |
| zimon | beautifulsnow: hm .. next time you reboot, look if there's something mounted to /media/.. maybe the mount point is just different so amarok doesn't find it | 20:29 |
| beautifulsnow | Oh, yes, it's supposed to be /media, and when I manually mount it, it goes to media | 20:30 |
| philast | I wonder if I'm asking in the right place. Since this issue is nothing to do with the desktop, should I be asking the Ubuntu people? Or could anyone point me in the right direction. Am I just being an idiot? | 20:36 |
| lukas__ | a | 20:38 |
| philast | was that for me? | 20:39 |

| Daisuke_Ido | ah | 21:43 |
| jinzougen | Would anyone know why applications aren't rendering progress bars? | 21:43 |
| trappist | I've been on irc a lot of years, first time I've seen d&r | 21:43 |
| jinzougen | s/aren't/wouldn't/ | 21:43 |
| trappist | wouldn't rendering? | 21:44 |
| jinzougen | wouldn't render* | 21:44 |
| trappist | jinzougen: try changing your theme - maybe yours has a bad implementation for progress indicators | 21:44 |
| jinzougen | It's weird. Firefox and thunderbird show the progress bar and their percentages, but no actual bar. | 21:44 |
| jinzougen | k. | 21:44 |
| trappist | oh, maybe your progress bar foreground and background colors are the same, if I'm understanding your description properly | 21:45 |
| blenheim | jinzougen: same problem in 6.10 kubuntu with newest stable firefox | 21:45 |
| rewati | i am not able to get sound | 21:45 |
| trappist | rewati: dude. the bot had some suggestions. did you try them. | 21:45 |
| rewati | yep i did that | 21:46 |
| trappist | did what, exactly, and what were the results. | 21:46 |
| jinzougen | By theme do you mean the widget style? | 21:46 |
| trappist | jinzougen: right, sorry | 21:46 |
| trappist | theme is kinda ambiguous | 21:46 |
| jinzougen | yeah, same problem for at least two seperate styles. | 21:46 |
| jinzougen | weird. | 21:46 |
| trappist | jinzougen: maybe it's a color issue... matching foreground and background | 21:46 |
| jinzougen | maybe... | 21:47 |
| jinzougen | Is the "preview" in the widget style selector respective of colors? | 21:47 |
| rewati | trappist i did install alsa for my card | 21:47 |
| trappist | dunno | 21:47 |
| rewati | now i have beep sound but no playback | 21:47 |
| rewati | amarok says device busy | 21:48 |
| jinzougen | Well, I guess it's something else. At least it's no a debilitating thing. | 21:48 |
| DHGE | rewati: kmix - look at the LED-like symbols maybe yours are OFF | 21:50 |
| Daisuke_Ido | rewati: restart artsd | 21:51 |
| rewati | DHGE at pannel where there is smallspeaker icon it says mixer not present | 21:51 |
| Daisuke_Ido | yeah, i'd say there's a pretty big issue there... | 21:51 |
| rewati | i tried restarting artsd it says /dev/dsp not present | 21:53 |

| synaptik | beautifulsnow: it depends on the theme, but i have yet to use a theme that needs compiling. maybe changing a config file here or there. there is also a package in the repos that adds some popular themes to the theme manager. | 22:32 |
| synaptik | many themes can be found at http://www.kde-look.org | 22:33 |

| Corty | amarok maybe | 22:47 |
| beautifulsnow | Nah | 22:47 |
| Corty | looks good :) | 22:47 |
| Corty | beautifulsnow, why not? ;) | 22:47 |
| oloughlin75 | banshee? | 22:48 |
| beautifulsnow | Amarok is all "hey look at this over here and look at this over there, are you confused yet?" ... while that screenshot looks very user friendly :D | 22:48 |
| oloughlin75 | its not amarok | 22:48 |
| beautifulsnow | banshee eh? Ill google it, thank you! | 22:48 |
| oloughlin75 | beautifulsnow: Just a gues... I only use amarok | 22:48 |
| zimon | it's banshee | 22:48 |
| beautifulsnow | lol I went on google and typed: banshe meedia player | 22:48 |
| nosrednaekim | doesn't put its name in the title <_< | 22:48 |
| oloughlin75 | yep its banshee | 22:49 |
| oloughlin75 | www.banshee-project.org | 22:49 |
| beautifulsnow | yeah it is! woohoo! | 22:49 |
| Corty | lol | 22:49 |
| nosrednaekim | that is Exaile.... a amarok rip-off in GTK | 22:49 |
| beautifulsnow | bye bye amarok of doom! | 22:49 |
| Corty | oh noez | 22:49 |
| nosrednaekim | oh.. maybe not :) | 22:49 |
| nosrednaekim | sure looks like it.. | 22:49 |
| Corty | beautifulsnow, but the look-at-this-and-that-thing is true.. | 22:49 |
| oloughlin75 | Corty: Features come with a price | 22:50 |
| beautifulsnow | oloughlin75: tell that to Apple and watch them snicker at you | 22:50 |
| oloughlin75 | Corty: You can hide some of the stuff though | 22:50 |
| Corty | yeah, right | 22:50 |
| beautifulsnow | ;) | 22:50 |
| zimon | beautifulsnow: apart from it's look i think amarok is the best media player for linux ... (ok, i don't know banshee too well) ... but all the simple players are a bit short on features | 22:50 |
| oloughlin75 | beautifulsnow: and how much can you configure apple products? | 22:50 |
| nosrednaekim | I still think thats exaile | 22:51 |
| beautifulsnow | ol | 22:51 |
| oloughlin75 | nosrednaekim: It is banshee! | 22:51 |
| oloughlin75 | nosrednaekim: http://banshee-project.org/Image:Banshee-0.11.0-release-library.png | 22:51 |
| nosrednaekim | ok ok... I've never really used each very much | 22:51 |
| oloughlin75 | same buttons and layout | 22:51 |
| beautifulsnow | oloughlin75: dont have to, theyre pretty good already ;D Anyway, I loooove my x/Ubuntu very much, I would never give up ubuntu for any other OS :) | 22:51 |
| rickest | not a match: http://www.exaile.org/screens | 22:51 |
| oloughlin75 | beautifulsnow: Same, I always have so many things open in linux because it doesnt bog down :/ | 22:52 |
| synaptik | clear | 22:53 |
| synaptik | haha, oops :p | 22:53 |
| beautifulsnow | yeah, virtual desktop with 4 desktops f.t.w! :) | 22:54 |
| * nosrednaekim concedes to oloughlin75.... banshee it is | 22:55 | |
| oloughlin75 | :) | 22:55 |
| beautifulsnow | Odd, that screenshot was on kdelook not gnomelook ;p | 22:56 |
| oloughlin75 | banshee isnt made for one or the other is it? | 22:56 |
| beautifulsnow | gtk based aparently, so its gnome, right? | 22:56 |
| beautifulsnow | yup it ssays "music management for gnome' | 22:56 |
| oloughlin75 | ha | 22:57 |
| rickest | beautifulsnow: you can run gnome apps in kde and vice versa, though, in case you didn't know | 22:57 |
| oloughlin75 | KDE apps are better, but gnome looks better :/ | 22:57 |
| zimon | but it'll load all the gnome-libs, just to play music. :-/ | 22:57 |
| beautifulsnow | Yeah I do, I heard/read KDE is crash crash friendly, though I like KDE better, I run Ubuntu with Gnome, but yeah, most of the apps I use are kde based :( | 22:57 |
| Daisuke_Ido | zimon: it will only *use* the gnome libs when they're needed | 22:58 |
| rickest | not all just the base stuff (still too much, I agree, but it's not a major issue) | 22:58 |
| oloughlin75 | beautifulsnow: konversation and amarok? I do the same thing ^_^ | 22:58 |
| Daisuke_Ido | if you have the disk space, it's pointless to whine about it, it's not going to kill you :) | 22:58 |
| beautifulsnow | I tried kubuntu and it didnt come with the automatic updates or add/remove programs menu, or wireless app... gnome seems to go more smooth to me :D but i love kde apps, I often wonder if i should install kde | 22:58 |
| zimon | Daisuke_Ido: yes, but they are needed cause it's linked to libgnome .. | 22:59 |
| beautifulsnow | i hate gnome file manager / nautilus >_>; | 22:59 |
| Daisuke_Ido | again, if the disk space is there, why whine or worry about it? it's not going to hurt anything | 22:59 |
| Daisuke_Ido | are you worried that the gnome libs are going to start infecting kde's libs with their gtkness?\ | 22:59 |
| oloughlin75 | beautifulsnow: it has add/remove programs... | 22:59 |
| beautifulsnow | i know Daisuke_Ido but i dont want to risk breaking anything because right now I love this distro 11110000% | 22:59 |
| beautifulsnow | oloughlin75: | 22:59 |
| beautifulsnow | oloughlin75: synaptic? | 22:59 |
| rickest | beautifulsnow: you can have both. apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 23:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | oi | 23:00 |
| zimon | Daisuke_Ido: i'm talking about memory usage ... loading tens of mbs of libs just for playing music is a waste of memory | 23:00 |
| beautifulsnow | i know rickest but i dont want it there if i dont need it ;p anyway, yes i am considering doing it, i already did install xubuntu desktop | 23:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | zimon: *shrugs* | 23:00 |
| oloughlin75 | beautifulsnow: It has the same thing as gnome I think, the add/remove... it uses aptitude for its package manager though | 23:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i do it to load amarok in gnome | 23:00 |
| rickest | beautifulsnow: I understand wanting to preserve a system that's working as is, too :) | 23:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | in fact, that actually loads MORE libraries | 23:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and there's no performance hit | 23:01 |
| synaptik | beautifulsnow: add/remove programs menu (simplified adept), automatic updates, wireless connection manager, are all included in Kubuntu | 23:01 |
| Daisuke_Ido | tens of MBs is a pointless thing to worry about in a world where most (not all, but most) desktop machines, and even laptops, have 512mb or better | 23:01 |
| mrunagi | sigh it sucks theres no adobe acrobat apps for linux =/ | 23:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | uhh | 23:02 |
| oloughlin75 | all low end machines now have 1 gig standard | 23:02 |
| rickest | and with 3GB ram it's kind of hard to quantify the concept of "wasting" memory | 23:02 |
| synaptik | you can also install synaptik in kubuntu if you don't like adept | 23:02 |
| beautifulsnow | synaptik: thats good to know, for some reason, maybe its because i installed it from kubuntu cd, it didnt recognize my wireless, my mouse and keyboard media buttons, and the dell Fn key.... ubuntu did all of them (same verison, same laptop, so i dont get it O_o) | 23:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | oloughlin75: thank you, that makes my point a little stronger | 23:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | synaptik: NO! can't have any gtk programs cluttering up a pure kde environment, nosiree! | 23:03 |
| beautifulsnow | LOL!!! :D | 23:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | see how dumb that sounds? | 23:03 |
| synaptik | it could be a version thing. hard to tell what exactly is on the cd | 23:03 |
| oloughlin75 | Daisuke_Ido: Just bought a $500 laptop thats got 2GB ram! :) | 23:03 |
| beautifulsnow | not bad :) | 23:03 |
| nosrednaekim | oloughlin75» dang... where? | 23:03 |
| oloughlin75 | prices drop too fast | 23:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | bottom line: if there's an app, be it gtk or qt, and you like it? use it. | 23:03 |
| beautifulsnow | (jerk! ;p where'd you get it ;___; ) | 23:03 |
| synaptik | Daisuke: heehee. but synaptic looks so much cleaner. adept is messy :p | 23:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it's not going to hurt anything | 23:03 |
| oloughlin75 | nosrednaekim: newegg... they sold out less than an hour after I bought :) | 23:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | synaptik: i was jsut making a point, i'm all for synaptic :) | 23:04 |

| fignew | Arwen: you can assign mute to any hotkey | 23:24 |
| LjL-Temp | Arwen, by default, probably yes, but unsure, but just reach the shortcuts settings | 23:25 |
| Arwen | where? | 23:25 |
| LjL-Temp | Arwen, in the same place as all other kde applications ;) also you can set mute globally in kmix | 23:25 |

| tekteen | Wish is a simple program consisting of the Tcl command language, the Tk toolkit, and a main program that reads commands from standard input or from a file. | 23:40 |
| tekteen | look at !google | 23:40 |
| mrunagi | so what else can i do | 23:40 |
| tekteen | that was just the caption when I searched "wish linux" | 23:40 |
| tekteen | X314: another program is using it | 23:41 |
| X314 | tekteen: so basically that is normal? | 23:41 |
| tekteen | I do not know | 23:41 |

| mrunagi | is it because im on the livecd? | 23:43 |
| X314 | hum. I am thinking to myself this might just be one of those days where one restarts the computer.. | 23:43 |
| rickest | tekteen: plus, I personally ran into the 2GB bug when moving huge stuff around. that took a while to find | 23:44 |
| tekteen | rickest: ok | 23:44 |
