| GerrySly | g'day guys, I have a question for you, is there a way you can mount a network computer only when it is available? | 00:36 |
| GerrySly | because the network I am on the computers aren't always on, but when I need to access them my computer has already been on and I need to mount them manually or just smbclient which can be rather tedious | 00:37 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. Depends on how its shareing things/getting mounted I imagine. | 00:37 |

| NickPresta | decay, the version in the repos is 2.6.22, I believe. If you want the most recent kernel, you have to compile it (and anything else related to it that needs to be compiled) from source. | 04:17 |
| decay | NickPresta: i see....do you know when x/k/ubuntu will add 2.6.24 to their repo? | 04:18 |

| xenos | i have an old kubuntu install cd. but i want to install the newest kubuntu, unfotunately i don't have a cd burner but I do have an sd card. I loaded the old cd and my sd card shows up. I extracted the iso that contained the newest kubuntu. Is there a way to install the newest kunbutu from the sd card? | 04:53 |
| Israphel | mmm | 04:53 |
| Israphel | you have to make a live pendrive | 04:53 |
| Israphel | by using the card reader | 04:53 |
| Israphel | an selecting USB-HDD in the boot sequence | 04:53 |
| === schumacher is now known as teh_raf | ||
| xenos | Israphel: i see. my laptop, which is where i'm isntalling kubuntu, has a card reader for the sd built in. i tried to see if it comes up a selectable option when i hit f12 (the key to select the peripheral to boot from) | 04:55 |
| xenos | but no luck. | 04:55 |
| Israphel | the setup menu in your laptop if by pressing F12 | 04:56 |
| Israphel | ? | 04:56 |
| Israphel | is very strange, the new pcs and laptops can boot up from usb without problem | 04:57 |
| Israphel | the kubuntu you have, is 7.04 ? | 04:57 |
| Israphel | you can install it and make a dist-upgrade | 04:57 |
| Israphel | can you tell me the model of your laptop? | 04:58 |
| xenos | dell x1 | 04:58 |
| PcMaX | spanish_ | 04:59 |
| xenos | i have the 7.04 v. on the sd card. but the 6.0 v. on the cdrom. only problem with the cdrom, is that it crashes all the time when it comes to partitioning the drive. weird. | 04:59 |
| PcMaX | there is a command that reescan all disp in the kubuntu_ | 05:00 |
| Israphel | i'm watching on google. That laptop HAS usb boot | 05:00 |

| Erickj92 | can i install kiba-dock on kubuntu? | 05:10 |
| Israphel | AWN is better | 05:11 |
| Israphel | in my arrogant opinion | 05:11 |
| Erickj92 | that is what im installing now | 05:11 |
| Erickj92 | does it have all the effects? | 05:11 |
| Israphel | yes, it has nice effects | 05:11 |
| Israphel | but there's one problem | 05:11 |
| Israphel | awn is always at the bottom | 05:12 |
| Erickj92 | i see | 05:12 |
| Erickj92 | that could get to be a problem | 05:12 |
| Israphel | for the people who use kicker at the bottom, yes | 05:12 |
| Israphel | like me | 05:12 |
| Israphel | for that reason i don't use docks | 05:12 |
| Erickj92 | is it hard to install kiba? | 05:12 |
| Erickj92 | or, even possible | 05:12 |
| Israphel | i've never tried it | 05:12 |
| Israphel | just watched sshots | 05:13 |
| Erickj92 | awn wont load... | 05:14 |
| Erickj92 | hrmm | 05:14 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kibadock - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:14 |
| Erickj92 | israphel, any ideas why awn wont load now? | 05:15 |
| Israphel | open it in Konsole and check the text | 05:15 |
| Erickj92 | active_png isnt set | 05:16 |
| Erickj92 | restarting AWN usually solves this issue | 05:17 |
| regeya | well, bud, if this was the official ubuntu channel, I'd say 'AWN isn't supported' or 'AWN is offtopic' or some worthless nonsense like that, but here's my question: have you been using awn with kde all along, or are you just now trying it? | 05:21 |
| Erickj92 | just trying it now | 05:21 |
| ibilic | I have no icons on my desktop and I cannot right click there... any ideas? | 05:21 |
| regeya | ah...well, if it's kde 3.x that doesn't have a compositor built in, and awn needs that. you need to run either something like xcompmgr, or hit alt-f2 and run compiz --replace | 05:22 |
| Erickj92 | i tihnk its kde4 | 05:22 |
| regeya | also, search the forums for some hints on integrating awn into the kde desktop (though you'd be making changes that'd make it more difficult to run gnome) | 05:23 |
| Israphel | kde4? your menu bar is black? | 05:23 |
| regeya | oh..well...no idea... | 05:23 |
| * regeya hasn't tried awn with kde4 :-} | 05:23 | |
| Israphel | is there another dock for kde? | 05:23 |
| * kiefer hasnt either :P | 05:23 | |
| Erickj92 | kooldock | 05:23 |
| Israphel | me neither | 05:23 |
| ibilic | i tried to uninstall kde4 and now when I log in with kde3, i don't see any icons on my desktop | 05:23 |
| Israphel | thats so | 05:24 |
| Israphel | strange | 05:24 |
| regeya | eh...I'm too fried for this. just getting over being sick, and fighting with bacula on my wife's laptop. just trying to do backups to an external hd, but I can't convince the system that the separate "volumes" don't have to be manually mounted :-} google is not being my friend. wish I'd kept notes when I had this set up at work...wait...holy moly, if I can ssh in to the work fileserver I still have those configuration | 05:25 |
| regeya | files. w00t | 05:25 |

| kiefer | Lul | 05:25 |
| ibilic | when I go to Dolphin and click on some of the icons on the left tab (e.g. Storage Media) it says that it's a Malformed URL | 05:26 |

| Israphel | mmm, dolphin is wrong configured | 05:27 |
| regeya | yeah kiefer; at least I know about it right now instead of having the jerks wait until I get to work for them to say 'hey, we've been without internet service since saturday' | 05:28 |
| vicno | hello | 05:29 |

| * kiefer picks up the phone "IM WORKING ON IT NOW!" | 05:29 | |
| vicno | and it's interesting | 05:29 |
| regeya | this place is so small everyone's within earshot, and I STILL have to answer the same question a dozen times | 05:30 |
| kiefer | Hahaha | 05:30 |
| kiefer | I like having my own office :P | 05:30 |
| vicno | is there any difference between freenode and #kubuntu | 05:30 |
| vicno | i want to know | 05:31 |
| Israphel | freenode is the server | 05:31 |
| Israphel | kubuntu is a channel | 05:31 |
| regeya | 'so is there a reason I can't go to our website?' 'yes, our internet service is out.' 'so...would there be a good reason for me to not be able to send email?'

| e`DrAvEn | i want to access and stream my media from my kubuntu based desktop on my winxp laptop over my wireless network. is there any simple way to do this? | 05:34 |
| crxyem | so, I'm compiling my first kernel, how long might this take ?? | 05:34 |
| mixed | ok i think i just f*ed up "bootmisc.sh", I think I deleted the last line, can someone help me ?? | 05:35 |
| crxyem | e'DrAvEn , what kind of media ?? | 05:35 |
| e`DrAvEn | audio | 05:35 |
| crxyem | mp3's flac etc... | 05:35 |
| e`DrAvEn | yeah my good audio sys is in my living room but desktop is in another room | 05:36 |
| crxyem | share the directory with samba, and then use winamp of foorbar to play the music from that share | 05:36 |
| crxyem | or someother media player | 05:36 |

| === fideas_ is now known as fideas | ||
| xenos | Israphel: I have an idea but I'm not sure how to excute this: if i could find the "install" program on my sd card and somehow point that "install" to install from the sd card, this can work. Any idea? | 05:37 |
| mixed | can someone tell me if there is an "exit 0" line missing from my "bootmisc.sh" file? | 05:37 |
| Israphel | you cant install kubuntu when you are on kubuntu XD | 05:37 |
| Israphel | you can use Wubi, but you have to be in windows | 05:38 |
| e`DrAvEn | what samba pkgs do i need to install? | 05:38 |
| Israphel | sama common | 05:38 |
| Israphel | and deps | 05:38 |
| vicno | i installed the ubuntu | 05:38 |
| crxyem | I can't remember but samba common might be the only one | 05:40 |
| Israphel | yes | 05:41 |
| Israphel | an "samba" if you are in gnome | 05:41 |
| Israphel | to add shared folders | 05:41 |
| Israphel | in kde doesn't needed | 05:41 |
| Israphel | (and doesn't work) | 05:41 |
| Israphel | somethin more to fix? | 05:42 |
| crxyem | so how long can a kernel compile take ?? | 05:43 |
| Israphel | a lot | 05:43 |
| Israphel | it depends | 05:43 |
| Israphel | how many patch you applied | 05:43 |
| Israphel | the speed of your CPU | 05:43 |
| crxyem | 1.4Ghz machine. full 2.6.24.3 kernel | 05:44 |
| Israphel | mmm, is enough, it wont be a lot of time | 05:44 |
| crxyem | sweet, just curious | 05:44 |
| crxyem | I started it a bit ago, figured it would be done by morning | 05:45 |
| crxyem | the only reason I needed to do this is because the current kernel in 7.10 is set for IDE max as 4, and I need at least 7 | 05:46 |
| Israphel | the average is about 8 hours, but i depends, i've never being 8 hours using a athlon x2 4000+ | 05:46 |
| Israphel | 7??!!! why? | 05:46 |
| crxyem | I have a highpoint ide card with 4 IDE devices, I have both Onboard IDE ports active with 2hd's and a cdrom | 05:47 |
| Israphel | omg | 05:48 |
| Israphel | nothing in my pc is ide | 05:48 |
| crxyem | 1.2TB worth of space between the 4 IDE drives on the Highpoint controller | 05:48 |
| Israphel | my dvd-rw is sata XD | 05:48 |
| crxyem | it's an older system | 05:48 |
| Israphel | don't you prefeer sata raid? :P | 05:49 |
| crxyem | if I had sata drives yeah | 05:49 |
| Israphel | jaja, well, everything can be re used | 05:50 |
| crxyem | but I came across some 500GB IDE drives , they were given to me , and I had all the other hardware | 05:50 |
| Israphel | is a good step | 05:50 |
| J4ZZ | ok lets try again, i have a problem with spdif passthrough. i have a 5.1 soundcard from c-media alsa installed an a xbox connected vie spdif. i just can't get the sound to get working. when i play with the settings in alsamixer and turn off IEC958 Output i get a scrambled signal. any ideas how to get it to work? | 05:50 |
| === jet is now known as jetpeach | ||
| Israphel | you killed me | 05:55 |
| * xenos dead | 06:00 | |
| ere4si | J4ZZ, if you have two sound cards one must be disabled - onboard sound must be disabled in the bios | 06:00 |
| Israphel | any new, xenos? | 06:00 |
| Israphel | pci integrated pheriperals | 06:00 |
| Israphel | or someting like that | 06:00 |
| e`DrAvEn | so my desktop is found under winxp but it asks 4 username and pass and won't allow me to access the computer | 06:03 |
| heinkel_111 | <ere4si> J4ZZ, if you have two sound cards one must be disabled - onboard sound must be disabled in the bios | 06:04 |
| heinkel_111 | <---not entirely true | 06:05 |
| jetpeach | when people use konqueror to access samba shared using smb://computername, are they able to use the "open with amarok" option and play mp3s? for me, when i try it, amarok tries to play the file but says it cannot find a suitable plugin. i have to download the file then play it | 06:05 |
| heinkel_111 | you can set one of the souncard to always load as teh first one | 06:05 |
| heinkel_111 | forgot how to, but my comp is configured like that | 06:05 |
| heinkel_111 | i can use bopth soundcards at once | 06:05 |
| ere4si | heinkel_111, you're rare then :) | 06:06 |
| Israphel | you can set alsa to share | 06:08 |
| Israphel | i can't open lan files with amarok too, i only could using totem (!) | 06:09 |
| jetpeach | thx, good to know. i've asked about this once before in a kde channel i think and they say the feature is implemented (to stream files over samba), but on none of my computers does it work... | 06:10 |
| jetpeach | i'm curious to try a suse live cd and see if it works | 06:10 |
| Israphel | but if totem could | 06:12 |
| Israphel | amarok must can, someday | 06:12 |
| jetpeach | i agree, the kde developers said kde4 has a big rewrite of all the kioslave code i guess (the code that handles this type of streaming over samba) | 06:13 |
| crxyem | I use amarok over a lan | 06:13 |
| jetpeach | but kde4 is still so buggy for me that i can't even get it to boot... crxyem, did you have to configure anything specially to get it to work? | 06:13 |
| crxyem | i use mysql as the database | 06:13 |
| crxyem | nfs mount the share to the music directory | 06:14 |
| Israphel | can we use plasmoids con kde 3.5 ? | 06:14 |
| jetpeach | oh, yeah i can get it to work if i smbfs mount using fuse the samba directories then click the files. so i guess this is a workaround that kinda works, i just always forget the problem mount commands and stuff... | 06:16 |
| Israphel | smbmount bla bla | 06:18 |
| e`DrAvEn | my music folder is setup for sharing with samba but when i try to access it on my laptop i get \\dell\music network path not found.. what gives? | 06:21 |
| jetpeach | try smb://dell.local and look there | 06:22 |
| triorieel | everytime I reboot I get a black screen. I have to stop kdm, install nvidia again, and start kdm to have things work again | 06:37 |
| triorieel | ^any ideas? | 06:37 |
| Israphel | thats so | 06:38 |
| Israphel | did you try | 06:38 |

| triorieel | no, but I guess that could be why the nvidia driver reinstallation works. but the question I guess is why does that file keep messin up? | 06:39 |
| Israphel | thats the strange point | 06:40 |
| J4ZZ | ok sry had a other problem meanwhile heinkel are u still there? | 06:50 |
| J4ZZ | ohh ok just saw that he is not ^^ | 06:50 |
| foibles | what program can i use to burn avi files to dvd while transcoding at the same time, in one fell swoop? | 06:52 |
| foibles | much like nero does | 06:52 |
| J4ZZ | ok but since his solution did not change anything i just post my question again hopefully some new guys came online to help me ^^ | 06:53 |
| J4ZZ | ok lets try again, i have a problem with spdif passthrough. i have a 5.1 soundcard from c-media alsa installed an a xbox connected vie spdif. i just can't get the sound to get working. when i play with the settings in alsamixer and turn off IEC958 Output i get a scrambled signal. any ideas how to get it to work? | 06:53 |
| Erickj92 | so is there a good dock for kubuntu? | 06:54 |
| Dr_willis | i find the normal panel to be very good. :) | 06:54 |
| foibles | what program can i use to burn .avi movies to dvd | 06:56 |
| foibles | in dvd video format | 06:57 |
| Israphel | DeVeDe | 06:57 |
| Dr_willis | there are several tools to convert avi files to dvd video format. :) | 06:57 |
| Dr_willis | devede is very handy at that. | 06:57 |
| Dr_willis | You then use whatever you want to burn the .iso file it makes. | 06:57 |
| foibles | Dr_willis, what about something like nero? | 06:59 |
| foibles | where it transcodes and then burns all in one step | 06:59 |
| foibles | i have a scant hard drive | 06:59 |
| Dr_willis | theres nero linux - bit i dpmt think it makes the video conervsions | 06:59 |
| foibles | sparing a 4.4 gig iso size isn't really something i can do | 06:59 |
| foibles | Dr_willis, there isn't, heh i checked | 06:59 |
| Dr_willis | some tools may convert on the fly. | 07:00 |
| Dr_willis | but i never do it that way | 07:00 |
| foibles | Dr_willis, i guess you do it the way you just described to me | 07:01 |
| Dr_willis | i have one pc making the .iso and i burn with the other pc. :) | 07:01 |
| foibles | sounds like you have a peculiar rig | 07:02 |
| Dr_willis | i got a fast burner on ne box and a fast cpu on the other. :) | 07:02 |
| foibles | ever thought about combining the two? | 07:02 |
| Dr_willis | Nope | 07:02 |
| Dr_willis | I rarely convert avi to dvd anyway | 07:03 |
| Dr_willis | I got my Mythtv Box and i got mo other machines. :) | 07:03 |
| triorieel | is kde for ubuntu conisdered highly unstable? | 07:04 |
| === ubuntu is now known as TiGrE_MeX | ||
| Dr_willis | hm I use kde and gnome on the same ubuntu box. No problems | 07:04 |
| triorieel | none at all? | 07:05 |
| Dr_willis | Not that i can rember. I mixx and match gnome and kde apps on the same desktp also | 07:05 |
| triorieel | have you ever played with the compiz part of kde? | 07:06 |
| Israphel | kwin? | 07:06 |
| Dr_willis | compiz is its own whole set of probolems. | 07:06 |
| ere4si | that's why there is #compiz | 07:06 |
| Dr_willis | !compiz | 07:07 |
| ubotu | Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion | 07:07 |
| triorieel | wow...Ive been getting lots of problems (althought some are prob compiz) | 07:07 |
| Dr_willis | I would bet thtey are compiz related. :) | 07:07 |
| Dr_willis | which is why i dont use compiz exce[t to show off. | 07:07 |
| triorieel | well, I know not all of my problems are compiz related | 07:09 |
| triorieel | but I could see a few being related to compiz | 07:10 |
| Dr_willis | disable compiz and see.. | 07:10 |
| triorieel | If some fo my probs are lreated to compiz...I guess that means compiz is more stable on gnome? | 07:11 |
| Israphel | kubuntu 8.04 will have compiz or kwin? | 07:11 |
| Dr_willis | i wouldent call compiz stable at all. | 07:11 |
| Dr_willis | KDE4 will not need compiz. | 07:12 |
| triorieel | ^tried running that earlier...that causes a complete crash before I get to see the desktop background | 07:12 |
| triorieel | KDE4 won't need compiz? | 07:12 |
| Dr_willis | kde4 will not need compiz as i said :) | 07:13 |
| triorieel | quick question as this may be aprt of my issue, how do I tell kde to stop loading what was loaded in previous session? | 07:13 |
| Dr_willis | they are going their own way for the eye candy. :) | 07:13 |
| Dr_willis | i just use 'kwin --replace' | 07:14 |
| Israphel | i'm just asking if kubuntu 8.04 will have compiz or kwin by deffault | 07:14 |
| Dr_willis | compiz is not standard in kubuntu at all. | 07:14 |
| Israphel | not at all | 07:14 |
| Dr_willis | kde4 wont use be needing compiz. | 07:14 |
| Israphel | i want a Sidebar Plasmoid | 07:14 |
| triorieel | I don't mean that...when I load up kde..I have to kill alot of programs I was running in a previous session (ie konversation, ktorrent, etc...) otherwise they wont load for the new session | 07:14 |
| Israphel | someone is going to do it? or have i to do it bymyself | 07:15 |
| Dr_willis | Israphel, kde4 is still very much a work in progress. | 07:15 |
| Israphel | for that reason | 07:16 |
| Israphel | i will wait | 07:16 |
| Israphel | to kde 4.1 | 07:16 |
| Israphel | and if noone make a plasmoid sidebar | 07:17 |
| Israphel | i will do it | 07:17 |
| Israphel | cause i want one | 07:17 |

| Dr_willis | phreak97, only ONE of the apt tools can be running at one time. if one crashes it can leave things in a confused state. | 10:45 |
| Dr_willis | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a | 10:46 |
| phreak97 | i installed something else no probs | 10:47 |
| Dr_willis | could be the package/mirror/web site its downloading from has some issues in that case | 10:48 |
| phreak97 | kopete AND gaim/pidgin dont work | 10:48 |
| phreak97 | whats another messenger i can try? | 10:48 |
| Dr_willis | try sudo apt-get install cowsay | 10:48 |
| DarkestHour | phreak, if you have another messenger on another machine, you can send me the error that way | 10:48 |
| phreak97 | couldnt find package | 10:49 |
| phreak97 | i dont | 10:49 |

| Dr_willis | Pidgin is in main... Hmmm. | 10:49 |
| DarkestHour | ahh, you could be right. | 10:50 |
| DarkestHour | i can tell him how to enable them in adept manager | 10:50 |
| Dr_willis | sudo apt-get install pidgin gives what sort of error? | 10:50 |
| phreak97 | Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have | 10:50 |
| phreak97 | requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable | 10:50 |
| phreak97 | distribution that some required packages have not yet been created | 10:50 |
| phreak97 | or been moved out of Incoming. | 10:50 |
| DarkestHour | yeah, thats got to be the problem then. | 10:51 |
| phreak97 | it says theres uninstallable dependancies | 10:51 |
| phreak97 | theres more error than that but i dont want to paste so much here | 10:51 |
| Dr_willis | wouldent hurt to enable the other repos i guess. | 10:51 |
| phreak97 | ok so how do i fix it | 10:51 |
| phreak97 | i thought i did | 10:51 |
| phreak97 | how anyway | 10:52 |
| Dr_willis | if universe was enabled.. you could of installed cowsay | 10:52 |
| DarkestHour | in adept manager goto adept then manage repositories | 10:52 |
| Dr_willis | Listen to DarkestHour :) | 10:52 |
| DarkestHour | check all 4 boxs in kubuntu software. | 10:52 |
| DarkestHour | close that, then click fetch updates in adept manager | 10:52 |
| DarkestHour | Dr_willis: i like adept manager. easy searching since i'm always messing with crap. | 10:53 |
| phreak97 | yeah, i did that before | 10:53 |
| phreak97 | maybe i didnt fetch update | 10:53 |
| phreak97 | s | 10:53 |
| DarkestHour | that would be why. | 10:53 |
| phreak97 | brb | 10:53 |
| Dr_willis | i tend to install and use synaptic | 10:55 |
| Dr_willis | update, upgrade, install :) | 10:55 |
| DarkestHour | yeah i been getting a lot of reccomendations to use it, i'm gonna check it it soon | 10:56 |

| comp8 | i tried that before but it didn't work...."darkest hour" | 10:59 |

| phreak97 | i think its installing | 10:59 |
| DarkestHour | give it a reboot comp8, just in case. | 11:00 |
| comp8 | ok let me try that... i'll back . thanks darkest hour.. | 11:01 |

| francesco | qlc mi potrebbe dare un mano? la mia kubuntu non mi automonta le periferiche usb | 11:04 |
| phreak97 | but it just tells me my msn password is wrong | 11:04 |
| Dr_willis | MSN and other im systems often break things and force people to use newer versions of Pidgin | 11:05 |
| Dr_willis | which then fixes the changes.. but then it starts all over again. | 11:05 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 11:05 |
| phreak97 | i just installed it | 11:05 |
| phreak97 | just then | 11:05 |
| Dr_willis | You just installed a VERY old version | 11:05 |
| phreak97 | ... | 11:05 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu only updates every 6 mo. | 11:05 |
| Dr_willis | thats how ubuntu works. | 11:05 |
| phreak97 | how do i update it | 11:05 |
| Dr_willis | <Dr_willis> EGADS what an old version in the repos. | 11:06 |
| Dr_willis | Use the source is one way... | 11:06 |
| Dr_willis | there may be other easier ways. | 11:06 |
| phreak97 | im going to die | 11:07 |
| Dr_willis | try some other msn clients. | 11:07 |
| Dr_willis | could be msn is actingup today. | 11:07 |
| Dr_willis | I dont use msn, so cant test it | 11:07 |
| phreak97 | how do i use the source? i seem to remember it was pretty easy when i had ubuntu last year | 11:08 |
| Dr_willis | get source , install build-essential and other needed packages.. compile it. | 11:08 |
| phreak97 | i've used ubuntu before.. when breezy was current | 11:08 |
| Dr_willis | heck. go get the windows version and run it in wine. :) | 11:08 |
| Dr_willis | heh | 11:08 |
| phreak97 | but i dont remember anything | 11:08 |
| phreak97 | ugh | 11:09 |
| phreak97 | ill just try kopete again | 11:09 |
| phreak97 | i dont see that pidgin should lose msn support.. i use trillian in windows and that hasnt had an update in three years | 11:10 |
| Dr_willis | could be msn is goofy today | 11:11 |
| Dr_willis | or you are doing somthing wrong. | 11:11 |
| DarkestHour | it could be you need to input you whole msn address or vice versa? | 11:12 |
| DarkestHour | i dont use msn either so i cant be sure of it, | 11:12 |
| phreak97 | you always have to input the whole address | 11:12 |
| phreak97 | msn supports non-hotmail addresses | 11:13 |
| phreak97 | neither kopete not pidgin can connect to msn | 11:14 |
| phreak97 | kopete crashes completely and pidgin tells me my password is wrong | 11:14 |

| profoX` | is using w32codecs and/or libdvdcss legal in belgium/the netherlands ? | 12:11 |
| mitchells00 | this is a completely honest question.. do you really care? | 12:13 |
| mitchells00 | if you do.. get VLC player | 12:13 |
| mitchells00 | it reads dvd's without codecs i'm pretty sure :P | 12:13 |
| mitchells00 | and all regions too! | 12:13 |
| mitchells00 | :) | 12:14 |
| llutz | mitchells00: so it's illegal to be used in many countries too ;) | 12:14 |
| mitchells00 | then most cheap no brand dvd players sold in alot of shops are illegal too? | 12:14 |
| llutz | don't know about hardware, software needs paying to the media-content-mafia (for css) to be legal, at least in germany | 12:15 |
| mitchells00 | i don't know about over there, but here modchips etc are legal as long as they allow you to play games/watch movies from other regions... | 12:16 |
| mitchells00 | aww in linux you still need libdvdcss.. | 12:16 |
| llutz | ^^ and that's illegal here as they call it copy-protection (but it IS playing-protection) | 12:17 |
| llutz | here's only linDVD as a legal dvd-player | 12:18 |
| mitchells00 | it's deemed legal because here restricting someone from viewing/playing it when there is no version in this region is seen as censorship | 12:19 |
| llutz | ^wise | 12:19 |
| mitchells00 | using it to pirate yes is illegal but if you legitimately bought the other region dvd then you should be able to view it | 12:19 |
| llutz | i don't know the situtation with regions here, but all those problems with css :( | 12:20 |
| mitchells00 | for instance, my sister bought a few dvd's from amazon.com, because they didn't have those seasons out here yet, and she had to watch them with VLC | 12:20 |
| mitchells00 | again it all comes down to the question, do you really think that the authorities are going to care if you, personally, use libdvdcss if it's the only method of viewing a dvd on your computer? | 12:22 |
| Lynoure | mitchells00: even distributing it for watching your own legimately bought dvds is illegal in some countries, unfortunately. (Luckily no longer here in Finland) | 12:24 |
| mitchells00 | Here using profanities over a landline or mobile phone is illegal... | 12:24 |

| jussi01 | comp8: if so, it is inputing the password, it just doesnt actually show it. | 12:32 |
| comp8 | imagine what should i do. | 12:32 |
| Sam1337 | Tm_T: So my /home can be in one partition and my /home/sam as the root directory of another partition without any problems? | 12:32 |

| cew27 | hello all i am a gnome user and just installed kde, just have a few questions | 12:51 |
| mitchells00 | maybe your wireless card is faulty? | 12:52 |
| ForgeAus | where do I get a list of mirrors for (k/x/ubuntu)? | 12:52 |
| rami | we do have laptops, and we only sit around 1 foot away from eachother | 12:52 |
| mitchells00 | ForgeAus: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors | 12:52 |
| cew27 | does anyone know if compix works on kde? | 12:52 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | hi, I would like to change the theme for kdm, any pointers being that kdmtheme doesn't work... | 12:52 |
| rami | might be, i never had those problems when i had Windows XP, | 12:52 |
| mitchells00 | is your sister using *buntu too? | 12:53 |
| rami | but it got virus infested, and the shop i bought is from refused to give me a Windows CD | 12:53 |
| comp8 | looking for a cyber cafe timer.. advcie | 12:53 |
| rami | no, she'd usin Vista | 12:53 |
| mitchells00 | rami: they're a dodgy shop then, your windows was probably fake... | 12:53 |
| mitchells00 | :( | 12:53 |
| rami | no no no, it is a well trusted and popular firm | 12:54 |
| mitchells00 | i really don't know.. | 12:54 |
| cew27 | does anyone know if compiz will run in kde | 12:54 |
| ForgeAus | thanx mitchells :) | 12:54 |
| rami | is has shops in 3 countries | 12:54 |
| mitchells00 | if they refuse to give you something you paid for then they're bad | 12:54 |
| mitchells00 | plain and simple | 12:54 |
| rami | i'll just ask them again | 12:54 |
| mitchells00 | they should have given you the cd when you bought the computer | 12:54 |
| rami | never got one, but i got CDs for the useless Microsoft Works | 12:55 |
| rami | i'l go to their site, | 12:55 |

| mitchells00 | rami: does your computer have a sticker on it somewhere with the XP serial number? | 12:57 |
| cew27 | rami: ji | 12:57 |
| ForgeAus | (I'm not looking to download a liveCD | 12:57 |
| rami | yep. on the bottom | 12:57 |
| ForgeAus | isn't there an au.ubuntu.org? | 12:57 |
| mitchells00 | then go and ask them if they can reinstall XP using your serial number, | 12:58 |
| mitchells00 | where are you located? | 12:58 |
| mitchells00 | sydney? | 12:58 |
| ForgeAus | closer to Melbourne actually | 12:58 |

| Antkin | Hello | 12:58 |
| ForgeAus | I'm not so concerned about speed | 12:59 |
| mitchells00 | i don't know the specific path but ftp://pacific.net.au has always been fast for me :) | 12:59 |
| ForgeAus | its more connectivity that matters | 12:59 |
| ForgeAus | ahh ok thanx :) | 12:59 |
| rami | and the computer is not in stock anymore, | 12:59 |
| ForgeAus | I'll try that one | 12:59 |
| rami | its obsolete | 12:59 |
| rami | so i'll just Download | 12:59 |
| ForgeAus | michells00 so do I just use deb ftp://pacific.net.au gutsy main restricted in sources.list? | 13:00 |
| mitchells00 | no you would have to point to a more specific directory i think | 13:00 |
| Antkin | Kubuntu 7.10 user since Nov 2007 | 13:00 |
| Antkin | Linux user since 1999 | 13:02 |
| mitchells00 | rami.. if you want.. it's technically legal if you install with your serial.. | 13:03 |
| mitchells00 | :P | 13:03 |
| Antkin | mitchells00 Hello | 13:04 |
| mitchells00 | ForgeAus: | 13:04 |
| mitchells00 | ftp://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu/dists/ look in there with a browser and choose your distro | 13:04 |
| mitchells00 | i think that would do it | 13:04 |
| ere4si | ForgeAus, your choice really - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors | 13:05 |
| ForgeAus | kubuntu gutsy | 13:05 |
| mitchells00 | ftp://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu/dists/gutsy-updates/ << try that | 13:06 |
| mitchells00 | ? | 13:06 |
| mitchells00 | xD | 13:06 |
| Antkin | ForgeAus I have used kubuntu gutsy since Oct 2007 without any major problems | 13:07 |
| ForgeAus | hehe Antkin its ok I don't need you to tell me that | 13:07 |
| ForgeAus | I have andLinux and the mirror us.ubuntu.org or whatever it was, wasn't working | 13:08 |
| ForgeAus | all I needed was a replacement | 13:08 |
| ForgeAus | for my sources.list file | 13:08 |
| vicno | and i used kde under the ubuntu OS | 13:08 |
| Antkin | ForgeAus thanks for that I hope your not offended, this is only my second day on IRC | 13:09 |
| ForgeAus | offended no, I just didn't see the point in you saying it | 13:09 |
| vicno | but i don't like the k theme | 13:09 |
| mitchells00 | i broke X.org agian... | 13:09 |
| mitchells00 | -_-;;; | 13:09 |

| ForgeAus | what error do you get? | 13:10 |
| mitchells00 | oh no i was playing with it :P | 13:10 |

| mitchells00 | hehehe | 13:10 |
| ForgeAus | kewl | 13:10 |
| Antkin | ForgeAus just keen to chat with somebody | 13:10 |
| mitchells00 | well say hello! | 13:11 |
| Antkin | I did say Hello | 13:11 |
| vicno | 大家好 | 13:11 |
| mitchells00 | da ja hao~ | 13:11 |
| vicno | mitchells00:so you can speak chinese | 13:12 |
| mitchells00 | a bit of ??? | 13:12 |
| Antkin | hello! | 13:12 |
| mitchells00 | omg no utf8 hold on | 13:12 |
| ForgeAus | :) | 13:12 |
| ForgeAus | whats utf8? it sounds familiar | 13:12 |
| mitchells00 | a bit of 廣東話 | 13:13 |
| mitchells00 | :) | 13:13 |
| jussi01 | !locales | ForgeAus | 13:13 |
| ubotu | ForgeAus: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 13:13 |
| ForgeAus | erm those characters are quite exotic | 13:13 |
| vicno | are you chinese? | 13:13 |
| mitchells00 | no :P | 13:13 |
| ForgeAus | jussi its not reigonal settings (like timezones and stuff) | 13:13 |
| ForgeAus | its the download sources | 13:13 |
| mitchells00 | no he's talking about utf8 | 13:14 |
| mitchells00 | xD | 13:14 |
| mitchells00 | reigonal settings | 13:14 |
| ForgeAus | oh utf8 is reigonal settings? | 13:14 |
| vicno | oh, i see | 13:14 |
| ForgeAus | IC | 13:14 |
| * ForgeAus shrugs | 13:14 | |
| mitchells00 | i just have alot of 國人 friends :P | 13:14 |
| mitchells00 | and i got bored one day :P | 13:15 |
| ForgeAus | lol isn't there an #ubuntu-<countrycode> for that? | 13:15 |
| Antkin | I want to remove Ubuntu from 4 computers and install Kubuntu | 13:15 |
| ForgeAus | or better yet #kubuntu-<country code> | 13:15 |
| ForgeAus | Antkin the easiest way is to install kubuntu-dekstop | 13:15 |
| mitchells00 | ant... just install kde over the top of them? | 13:15 |
| ForgeAus | with apt-get | 13:15 |
| ForgeAus | (and check out the ubuntu website for what gnome packages are safe to remove) | 13:16 |
| mitchells00 | i think i would actually prefer to have both gnome and kde packages installed.. | 13:16 |
| mitchells00 | more variety? | 13:16 |
| ForgeAus | mitchells each to their own, I wouldn't | 13:16 |
| ForgeAus | not anymore | 13:16 |
| mitchells00 | sudo apt-get install kde << i think.. correct me if i'm wrong :P | 13:16 |
| ForgeAus | GTK+ is the most of Gnome I ever want to see | 13:17 |
| mitchells00 | hehehehe | 13:17 |
| mitchells00 | i don't like gnome that much either.. | 13:17 |
| mitchells00 | i like KDE4 thouhg.. | 13:17 |
| mitchells00 | *gh | 13:17 |
| Antkin | ForgeAus I have KDE on my 4 ubuntu computers my other one is a dual boot with Kubutu 7.10 and Windows XP | 13:17 |
| jussi01 | mitchells00: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 13:17 |
| ForgeAus | but I think I will be forced to use Gnome stuff eventually | 13:17 |
| vicno | oh, that's really helpful | 13:17 |
| mitchells00 | ForgeAus: NO! you must resist! | 13:17 |
| ForgeAus | mitchell not on my own pc | 13:18 |
| vicno | i like gnome | 13:18 |
| ForgeAus | on others | 13:18 |
| mitchells00 | those evil little gnomes are going to steal your underpants! | 13:18 |
| ForgeAus | rofl | 13:18 |
| mitchells00 | hehe | 13:18 |
| ForgeAus | thats ok I like freeballing! rofl | 13:18 |
| ForgeAus | too much information? | 13:18 |
| mitchells00 | (yes that is a southpark rip-off but it seemed so appropriate in this situation) | 13:18 |
| mitchells00 | xD | 13:18 |
| Antkin | I prefer KDE 3.5 insted of Gnome | 13:19 |
| ForgeAus | I don't watch southpark | 13:19 |
| jussi01 | !ot | 13:19 |
| ubotu | #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! | 13:19 |
| mitchells00 | i do occasionally | 13:19 |
| ForgeAus | I like KDE3.5.x too | 13:19 |
| mitchells00 | ya i like it.. but i think KDE4 is sexy.. :P | 13:19 |
| ForgeAus | jussi relax I'm here to help!.. | 13:19 |
| ForgeAus | I think KDE4 hasn't come into its own yet | 13:19 |
| mitchells00 | yeah | 13:20 |
| mitchells00 | but it's still sexy.. | 13:20 |
| vicno | gnome is simple, clear. and i think kde is a little nobby. | 13:20 |
| jussi01 | ForgeAus: great. but please keep this channel free for help. | 13:20 |
| Antkin | I have used KDE since my Mandriva days so thats nearly 4 years | 13:20 |
| mitchells00 | vicno: gnome isn't nearly as customizable as it should be | 13:20 |
| ForgeAus | vicno gnome may be simple but it achieves that by too many tools that do too little | 13:20 |
| mitchells00 | and linus says gnome = fail '.' gnome = fail.. | 13:20 |
| ForgeAus | I truly agree and believe linux is right | 13:21 |
| mitchells00 | heh.. | 13:21 |
| ForgeAus | that gnome will fail | 13:21 |
| ForgeAus | in the long run | 13:21 |
| vicno | but i just like it :P | 13:21 |
| mitchells00 | *linux | 13:21 |
| mitchells00 | *linus? | 13:21 |
| ForgeAus | unless they change thier basic paradigm | 13:21 |
| jussi01 | Please Take the offtopic chatter to #kubuntu-offtopic! | 13:21 |
| ForgeAus | no linux != linus, but he did make it | 13:21 |
| vicno | linus is the farther of linux, right | 13:21 |
| mitchells00 | <ForgeAus> I truly agree and believe linux is right << didn't you mean linus? | 13:21 |
| ForgeAus | jussi this isn't offtopic | 13:21 |
| mitchells00 | and it's not chatter.. | 13:22 |
| mitchells00 | it's a debate :) | 13:22 |
| Dorwin6 | !search compiz | 13:22 |
| ubotu | Found: xgl, keys-#ubuntu-effects, sources.list-#ubuntu-effects, transset-#ubuntu-effects, cf, compiz, backspace-error-#ubuntu-effects, shift-backspace-#ubuntu-effects, plugins-#ubuntu-effects, beryl | 13:22 |
| jussi01 | ForgeAus: this is offtopic. The topic is Kubuntu Spport. Kubuntu support != Linux/KDE chatter/debate | 13:22 |
| Antkin | I think Linus is right Gnome will fail in the long run | 13:23 |
| mitchells00 | Antkin: bingo :D | 13:23 |
| mitchells00 | ok ssh | 13:23 |
| mitchells00 | or jussi will hurt us | 13:23 |
| mitchells00 | with whips... | 13:23 |
| Dorwin6 | hi jussi01, i finally got ATI driver works. Can you tell me the link to setup compriz | 13:23 |
| mitchells00 | >.>;;;;; | 13:23 |
| jussi01 | !compiz > Dorwin6 | 13:23 |
| Dorwin6 | thank you jussi01 | 13:24 |
| jussi01 | :) | 13:24 |
| Antkin | mitchells00 thanks for bingo | 13:24 |
| mitchells00 | i've never heard someone thank someone else for a bingo before.. | 13:25 |
| ForgeAus | dorwin try apt-get install compiz-fusion ??? | 13:25 |
| mitchells00 | WELL you see something new everyday! | 13:25 |
| ForgeAus | mitchell its ignoring my sources.list lines the only one that works is security.ubuntu.org | 13:25 |
| ForgeAus | for some reason | 13:26 |
| ForgeAus | thats wierd | 13:26 |
| mitchells00 | ohh is that that weird beryl thing? | 13:26 |
| ForgeAus | do I need a gpg key? | 13:26 |
| mitchells00 | no idea.. | 13:26 |
| ForgeAus | beryl got reintegrated into Compiz-Fusion | 13:26 |
| mitchells00 | i just googled your question... | 13:26 |
| mitchells00 | ya i know | 13:26 |
| gysel | à l'install de cd live kubuntu ça s'arrête sur une ligne ubuntu@ubuntu:$ qu'est ce que je dois mettre là? | 13:26 |
| ForgeAus | (originally beryl was a fork of compiz) | 13:26 |
| Antkin | I read the comments by Linus Gnove v KDE in a computer mag two years ago | 13:26 |
| mitchells00 | so it's that pretty useless desktop effects thing that slows down your computer and doesn't really look that great to begin with unless you have been tweaking it for 72 hours straight? | 13:27 |
| ere4si | ForgeAus, done sudo apt-get update? | 13:27 |
| mitchells00 | ohh i didn't think of that.. | 13:27 |
| mitchells00 | i do that automatically | 13:27 |
| vicno | sudo -i | 13:28 |
| mitchells00 | ohohh 12:30 whoops | 13:28 |
| mitchells00 | gotta get up for school tomorrow :O! | 13:28 |
| vicno | it's just 21:28 | 13:28 |
| ForgeAus | ahh yes update I forgot that | 13:28 |
| mitchells00 | in 中國 maybe.. xD | 13:28 |
| Dorwin6 | have anyone come across into this issue? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58095/ | 13:29 |
| Antkin | Can anyone please help? I want to remove Ubuntu from 4 computers and install Kubuntu | 13:30 |
| ForgeAus | Antkin I already did, you don't need to remove ubuntu | 13:30 |
| Dorwin6 | thanks forgeaus | 13:30 |
| ForgeAus | just sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop on them | 13:30 |
| mitchells00 | in 悉尼 澳洲 it's 00:32 | 13:30 |
| ForgeAus | (and check ubuntu's wiki to find out which gnome packages are safe to remove) | 13:31 |
| vicno | for(int i=0;i<4;i++) sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 13:31 |
| vicno | :p | 13:31 |
| sh4rm4 | whats wrong with ktorrent if it shows "stalled" on a torrent, but doesnt download d? | 13:31 |
| ForgeAus | lol vicno :) | 13:31 |
| ere4si | southerners - sheesh - quit changing your clocks an hour... | 13:31 |
| Antkin | ForgeAus I am very cross with Ubuntu they have banned me from their forums two weeks ago. | 13:31 |
| mitchells00 | what for? | 13:31 |
| jussi01 | Antkin: do what ForgeAus said, then follow !purekde | 13:31 |
| vicno | just kidding! | 13:31 |
| ForgeAus | antkin the underlying operating system is exactly the same other than the KDE desktop (instead of Ubuntu's Gnome) and a few other packages, | 13:32 |
| Antkin | I made some posts with a URL at the bottom and have been accused as a spammer. I did not mean to offend. I won't use a URL again on their forum | 13:33 |
| ForgeAus | !purekde > Antkin | 13:33 |
| Antkin | Yes I know that | 13:33 |
| ForgeAus | yes you do have to be careful about urls | 13:33 |
| ForgeAus | where you put them and why is what matters | 13:33 |
| Antkin | I have no problems with Kubuntu forums have posted over 40 times | 13:34 |
| Antkin | jussi01 what is !purekde | 13:36 |
| ronny__ | Hi, did anybody notice that updating a fresh installation of Kubuntu-7.10 CRASHES at the libqt3-mt package? What a nice first impression! :-P | 13:36 |
| mitchells00 | maybe only for you? | 13:37 |
| mitchells00 | ack what am i doing still talking | 13:37 |
| mitchells00 | i need ot go to bed | 13:37 |
| mitchells00 | bubaii everyone :D | 13:37 |
| ForgeAus | ronny? | 13:38 |
| ronny__ | ForgeAus: yes? | 13:39 |
| ForgeAus | it crashes? | 13:39 |
| ForgeAus | have you tried it on a different machine? if so have you checked your install media for errors? | 13:40 |
| ForgeAus | it may not actually be a problem with kubuntu-7.10 | 13:40 |
| ronny__ | I just retried in VirtualBox. Well, the update process "crashes", i.e. halts with an error message. | 13:41 |
| ForgeAus | on the same machine? could it be a hardware issue? | 13:41 |
| ForgeAus | or ram? or something? | 13:41 |
| ronny__ | Nope. Tried on several different real machines and even in VirtualBox with an ISO where I checked the MD5 sum... | 13:42 |
| ForgeAus | ok well then I guess you should report it as a bug ? | 13:42 |
| Antkin | I have written a guide aimed at the newbie about dual booting Windows and Linux and all because I put a URL at the bottom I have been banned on Ubuntu forums as a spammer, why did they not ask me to remove the URL in the first place that would have been so simple to do. | 13:43 |
| === ioricarlos is now known as meloncitabeba | ||
| meloncitabeba | Hola a todos | 13:44 |
| ronny__ | Looks like it was reported long time ago here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/183241 but status is still undecided. | 13:44 |
| ere4si | Antkin, that's a bit offtopic | 13:44 |
| ForgeAus | ronny then whats to say?... | 13:45 |
| Antkin | OK should I leave because that is the only thing I have an issue with? Were should I post? | 13:45 |
| cew27_ | hello i need help, my multiple desktops in kde have messed up i have twice as many as i set | 13:46 |
| ronny__ | ForgeAus: I think this bug is catastrophic (from a new Linux user's experience viewpoint) and should get much higher priority | 13:46 |
| ere4si | Antkin, #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:46 |
| ForgeAus | ronny I'm not in charge of the people who develop or bugtest kubuntu, and if the bug is reported already then I guess thats their job to deal with, hopefully it will be handled for the next issue | 13:47 |
| ForgeAus | that being said I do agree that its not very friendly a thing to happen | 13:47 |
| Cew27 | hello all i need help | 13:48 |
| ronny__ | I did hope to find someone here who takes care about the packages because it looks like Canonical does not really care and maybe the bug and its severity just did not get noticed by the developers/maintainers. | 13:48 |
| ere4si | ronny__, that is prob upstream from canonical so they are limited | 13:48 |
| ForgeAus | ronny in #ubuntu-dev you might have more luck | 13:49 |
| ForgeAus | or perhaps #ubuntu-bugs | 13:49 |
| ronny__ | ForgeAus: thanks, I will try there. | 13:49 |
| Antkin | Bye going to off topic | 13:50 |

| comp5 | thanks liutz. its a cyber cafe n i want to be able for clients to print from their sitting positions and i cant get to share my printer so that my main server can see it. | 15:31 |

| stephan | its very confusing | 15:32 |
| CuCbKu | what is the default username/pass to enter the system? | 15:32 |
| comp5 | you mean i cant share it thro' the net | 15:32 |
| llutz | comp5: does the printer work on the computer it is attached to? | 15:32 |
| dthacker | CuCbKu: the user/pw you created during install should get you in. | 15:32 |
| llutz | comp5: can you print there locally | 15:33 |
| CuCbKu | but i use livecd | 15:33 |
| comp5 | yes from the server only | 15:33 |
| llutz | comp5: it's a linux-server using cups? | 15:33 |

| comp5 | yes | 15:34 |

| llutz | comp5: edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf on linux-server and change "Listen" "Browse" "Allow" to your network | 15:36 |
| llutz | comp5: after restarting cups-server, install printer on clients as network-printer, address ipp://ip-of-your-server | 15:37 |
| llutz | comp5: how to do that on a windows-server, you better ask in #windows | 15:38 |

| vincent_ | alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device | 15:41 |
| MilhousePunkRock | TimS: Why not just look at top/htop? | 15:41 |
| dthacker | TimS: hard drive info would be the df command | 15:41 |
| vincent_ | also, it seems that no sound card is found | 15:41 |
| vincent_ | for example, kmix does not show anything | 15:41 |

| Dorwin6 | how do i uninstall seamonkey ? | 16:10 |
| flipstar | sudo apt-get remove seamonkey :) or use adept instead | 16:10 |
| Dorwin6 | tried that , doesnt work | 16:12 |
| flipstar | whats the error ? | 16:12 |
| Dorwin6 | sudo apt-get remove seamonkey | 16:12 |
| Dorwin6 | E: Couldn't find package seamonkey | 16:13 |
| Dorwin6 | it is under /home/darren/seamonkey | 16:13 |
| llutz | Dorwin6: _how_ did you install it? | 16:13 |
| flipstar | did you installed seamonkey via a .deb or compiled from source ? | 16:13 |
| Dorwin6 | via seamonkey installer | 16:13 |
| Dorwin6 | seamonkey | 16:13 |
| Dorwin6 | seamonkey-1.1.8.en-US.linux-i686.installer.tar.gz | 16:13 |
| Dorwin6 | seamonkey-installer | 16:13 |
| llutz | Dorwin6: rm -rf ~/seamonkey | 16:13 |
| Dorwin6 | that is not a proper way to uninstall application isnt it | 16:14 |
| Dorwin6 | it will still leaves a mark there | 16:14 |
| llutz | it wasn't a proper way to install it | 16:14 |
| flipstar | maybe try the installer .. via --uninstall .. | 16:14 |
| alexander_ | hi | 16:15 |
| llutz | Dorwin6: think about those things _before_ you install software without packaging-system | 16:15 |
| flipstar | there are nearly 30.000 apps in the repos .. | 16:15 |
| flipstar | err packages | 16:15 |
| Dorwin6 | yea | 16:15 |
| llutz | and lots of 3rd party deb too | 16:16 |
| Dorwin6 | nevermind, i guess i'll just install mozilla again, because amsn doesnt work without mozilla | 16:16 |
| ryancleminson | Hey | 16:16 |
| Dorwin6 | hello ryan :) | 16:16 |
| ryancleminson | Hows it going | 16:16 |
| llutz | Dorwin6: seamonkey = iceape in gutsy, and it is in universe-repo | 16:17 |
| alexander_ | blya | 16:17 |
| ryancleminson | I have never used the chat here | 16:17 |
| Dorwin6 | llutz : but how do i get amsn work with seamonkey instead of mozilla ? | 16:18 |
| llutz | Dorwin6: no idea since i don't use/need that | 16:18 |
| dam_ | hi everyone how do I get to my brother's pc through the router ?? | 16:18 |
| flipstar | !ssh | 16:19 |
| ubotu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 16:19 |
| dam_ | yeah but for example what do i do if I wanted to fetch a music file on his pc | 16:20 |
| Dorwin6 | ah it wont now | 16:22 |
| Dorwin6 | worked | 16:22 |
| flipstar | dam_: linux to linux ? | 16:23 |
| dam_ | yes | 16:23 |
| flipstar | !nfs maybe this helps | 16:24 |
| flipstar | !nfs | 16:24 |
| jpatrick | !nfs | dam_ | 16:24 |
| ubotu | dam_: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 16:24 |
| flipstar | hm | 16:24 |
| Daisuke_Ido | flipstar: i'm surprised the SFU option for using nfs on mixed networks hasn't gotten more popular | 16:30 |
| flipstar | SFU .. ? | 16:30 |
| flipstar | i prefer ftp anyway :) | 16:31 |
| llutz | Daisuke_Ido: most guys even ddon't know what it is/how to use it | 16:31 |
| somiran | why i can not enter into chat room in gaim | 16:34 |
| Daisuke_Ido | flipstar: services for unix (which is actually for windows) | 16:34 |
| Daisuke_Ido | provides nfs and other functions to windows users | 16:34 |
| Daisuke_Ido | in my limited experience, it was more reliable than samba | 16:35 |

| yao_ziyuan | i created a folder beginning with "." and it disappears in Dolphin. how do i find it and rename it? | 16:43 |
| llutz | yao_ziyuan: enable "view hidden files" | 16:44 |
| flipstar | or ctrl +h | 16:44 |
| yao_ziyuan | good | 16:44 |
| llutz | yao_ziyuan: files/dirnames starting with . are hidden :) | 16:44 |

| dennister | hey all...i'm looking to install kubuntu on a donated emachines pc, and am having trouble finding the hidden partition for the restore cd...can't find it even with gparted...anyone know these particular machines and where to find the hidden partition? | 16:47 |
| dennister | my only experience with emachines was 6 months ago, and the partition was easy to find | 16:48 |
| somiran | why i do not get into chat room in gaim will any1 please tell | 16:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | somiran: ask the pidgin devs | 16:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | besides, gaim is outdated | 16:49 |
| somiran | ok thanks | 16:49 |
| flipstar | dennister: whats about fdisk or parted ? | 16:50 |
| BluesKaj | dennister: it's usually about a 4G partition..on my HP it was the first partition, but gparted couldn't see it , so I used the Super Grub disk to reconfigure the mbr and voila it was listed in the menu as "recovery " | 16:50 |
| dennister | flipstar: u mean qparted? | 16:51 |
| dennister | supergrub, eh? i'll look for it | 16:51 |
| flipstar | parted as a little more options than qtparted .. | 16:51 |
| dennister | lousy xp...don't want to support it, but don't feel I should wipe it out, since it's going to someone else | 16:52 |
| Dorwin6 | are there any intel proset software for linux version ? | 16:52 |

| Ax-Ax | anyone here good at piping and such? i want a single row to 1. list a folder (musik) recursively for all files ending with .flac and 2. encode them to wav and then 3. encode them to mp3 an after that 4. move them to the folder ftp/asd | 16:56 |
| Lynoure | Ax-Ax: Certainly a bash script can do that. I'd skip step 2, though, I think you can go directly form flac to mp3 | 16:58 |
| Ax-Ax | hm | 16:58 |
| Ax-Ax | how? | 16:58 |
| gladier | Ax-Ax: its going to go soemthing like ls -lR |grep .flac |xargs |mencoder blah |mencoder blah && ls -lR |grep .mp3 |xargs |mv ftp/asd/ && ls -lR |grep .wav |xargs |mv ftp/asd | 16:59 |

| Artimus | How can I make Ubuntu recognize my downloaded packages? I'd like to copy /var/cache/apt/archives to a new box to avoid downloading a few hundred megs of updates. I've heard it won't see the packages, however. I can't setup a local apt-cache | 17:14 |
| ryancleminson | hi | 17:15 |
| llutz | Artimus: if that are actual versions, it should use them automagic | 17:15 |
| Artimus | llutz: From what I've read, it won't see them if it didn't download them itself | 17:16 |
| llutz | Artimus: i did that several times, it worked | 17:16 |
| Artimus | I'll give it a try. I didn't think about this (just found it on the internet). I could point the box at its own apt-cache | 17:16 |
| Artimus | (using apt-cacher) | 17:16 |
| llutz | Artimus: it have to be the versions, adept would download for update | 17:16 |
| Artimus | yeah | 17:17 |
| llutz | Artimus: use aptitude with -s for simulation, it will tell you how much it would like to download | 17:17 |
| Artimus | I've got Hardy installed in VMware right now. I'm going to install it onto the box itself. I don't want to download all of KDE4 and KDE3 *again* | 17:17 |

| Blsh | i installed a bcm43xx card in my laptop (ive used these a lot on linux they word faily well) but when i installed it, it didn't work out to well seems it couldn't find any networks.... | 18:16 |
| Blsh | so i took it back out and put in the one that came with the computer the RTL8101E | 18:17 |
| tekteen | Blsh: I tried bcm43xx on my laptop | 18:18 |
| tekteen | it did not work | 18:18 |
| Blsh | well i removed it because i could not scan (i guess my mobo on my newlaptop wont work with just any wifi card....) :( | 18:18 |
| === kaens is now known as kaens_ | ||
| tekteen | Blsh: ndiswrapper normally works | 18:19 |
| Blsh | yes i know :) | 18:19 |
| tekteen | although I had to install the latest one | 18:19 |
| tekteen | from source | 18:19 |
| Blsh | not even in vista i could scan :( | 18:19 |
| === kaens_ is now known as kaens | ||
| tekteen | that is vista for you | 18:19 |
| Blsh | witch is why i look at the bios for the problem.... | 18:19 |
| === kaens is now known as kaens_ | ||
| tekteen | no | 18:19 |
| tekteen | it is a driver issue | 18:19 |
| tekteen | or hw | 18:19 |
| Blsh | well tekteen besides the slowness of vista when i hae the RTK8101 it works fine and can scan, when i install the bcm43xx card i cant scan in linux or vista so its hardware not software | 18:20 |
| Blsh | its the bloody mobo | 18:20 |
| tekteen | ok | 18:20 |
| * tekteen has to get the phone AGAIN | 18:21 | |
| Blsh | this is what i get for buying a gateway lol | 18:21 |
| Blsh | and kk | 18:21 |
| * tekteen wants to disconnect the phone | 18:21 | |
| ke9v | hello all | 18:21 |
| tekteen | !ho|ke9v | 18:21 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ho - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 18:21 |
| tekteen | !hi|ke9v | 18:22 |
| ubotu | ke9v: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 18:22 |
| Blsh | !rtl8101e | 18:22 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rtl8101e - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 18:22 |
| tekteen | Blsh: what is in the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 18:22 |
| Blsh | tekteen same as the one you posted but with the mac of the bcm43xx that i already removed | 18:23 |
| tekteen | delete that | 18:23 |
| tekteen | it was removed. you do not need it | 18:24 |
| Blsh | at the top it says this file is automatically made each boot.... | 18:24 |
| tekteen | yep | 18:24 |
| tekteen | just delete it | 18:24 |
| tekteen | (that line) | 18:24 |
| tekteen | not the whole file | 18:24 |
| Blsh | ok deleted that line | 18:24 |
| Blsh | now what? | 18:24 |
| tekteen | is there one for wlan1? | 18:25 |
| tekteen | or any others? | 18:25 |
| Blsh | nope | 18:25 |
| Blsh | just the wlan0 for the removed bcm | 18:25 |
| tekteen | what is the output of sudo lshw -C network | 18:25 |
| Blsh | when i removed the line reran the ndiswrapper my computer just locked up | 18:26 |
| tekteen | don't rerun ndiswrapper | 18:27 |
| Blsh | but it did add the right thing since network manager started to connect | 18:27 |
| tekteen | restart the computer | 18:27 |
| Blsh | just lots of lagg..... | 18:27 |
| Blsh | i am lol | 18:27 |
| JoshOvki | it will lock up your computer if you rerun ndiswrapper ;) | 18:27 |
| Blsh | now you tell me.... | 18:27 |
| Blsh | i just remodprobbed it.... | 18:27 |
| tekteen | Blsh: bad idea | 18:28 |
| RurouniJones | Out of curiosity - Where would you lot stick an SVN repository on a linux box? (What does the mighty HFS docu have to say about that). | 18:28 |
| tekteen | Blsh: now tell me what is in that file | 18:29 |
| tekteen | /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 18:29 |
| Blsh | my ndiswrapper :), with the right mac | 18:29 |
| Blsh | but ifconfig still does not see it | 18:30 |
| tekteen | Blsh: better | 18:30 |
| tekteen | what is in /etc/network/interfaces? | 18:30 |
| tekteen | check again | 18:30 |
| chidam | in many of the installation i make,some packages cant be verified,are they safe, | 18:30 |
| Blsh | this is weird...., # PCI device 0x10ec:0x8136 appear twice, one with r8169 (for the hard line) and again for the wifi with ndiswrapper within the ()'s | 18:31 |
| tekteen | ? | 18:31 |
| === dpenesi is now known as SILOS | ||
| tekteen | are you saying it thinks they are both the same? | 18:31 |
| Blsh | my computer thinks it is..., one of the macs is for the hardline the other mac is for the ndiswrapper | 18:32 |
| JoshOvki | chidam: its up to your own disgression. I would carry on regardless | 18:32 |
| tekteen | Blsh: I think there is not a problem | 18:32 |
| Blsh | i mean wlan | 18:32 |
| Blsh | its pointing to the same device for different reasons :-\ | 18:32 |
| tekteen | Blsh: I think it will work (I hope) | 18:33 |
| tekteen | Blsh: modprobe ndiswrapper | 18:33 |
| JoshOvki | I had lots of problems with ndiswrapper and MAC addresses. and it seemed to just work | 18:33 |
| tekteen | Blsh: what is in /etc/network/interfaces? | 18:34 |
| Blsh | tekteen i don't have to run that everyboot :), i have ndiswrapper in /etc/modules | 18:34 |
| tekteen | ok | 18:34 |
| Blsh | auto lo, iface lo inet loopback | 18:34 |
| tekteen | add "auto wlan0" then run the command /etc/init.d/networking restart | 18:35 |
| JoshOvki | Blsh: do you plan on using knetworkmanager to connect to devices or are you going to just connect to the one? | 18:35 |
| chidam | i seem to be the only greenhorn here,i want some suggestions on where start learning about linux basically.... | 18:36 |
| Blsh | knetworkmanager | 18:36 |
| tekteen | greenhorn? | 18:36 |
| chidam | a newbie... | 18:36 |
| tekteen | chidam: linux.org has some good stuff | 18:36 |
| Blsh | unknown intergace wlan0=wlan0 | 18:37 |
| JoshOvki | tekteen: do you think it wise to get Blsh to add stuff to /etc/network/interfaces because thats going to mess up using knetworkmanger | 18:37 |
| sh4rm4 | how can i mount the sd-card i just put in my laptop-builtin sd-card reader ? | 18:37 |
| tekteen | JoshOvki: it will help knetworkmanager | 18:37 |
| tekteen | I know what I am doing :-) | 18:37 |
| flipstar | sh4rm4: there is no pop-up ? | 18:37 |
| Blsh | i know somewhat of what i am doing :D | 18:37 |
| JoshOvki | tekteen: but from my experience adding things into that file means that knetworkmanager wont detect the device | 18:37 |
| tekteen | I have broken it before and therefor know what broke it | 18:37 |
| tekteen | JoshOvki: adding anything more then auto DEVICE will break it | 18:38 |
| pushax | sh4rm4: if it doesn't auto detect you may see outthe controller chip that does the SD card reading, then seek out a driver | 18:38 |
| Helikaon | hey guys, this is going to sound like a damn stupid question, so i apologise. I take care of my families computers, have just installed a fresh copy of kubuntu on my sisters pc and sudo passwd isnt working for me, given i dont live here root access would be damn useful, can anyone tell me how i can get root? | 18:38 |
| Blsh | ROTFLMFAO!!!!! | 18:38 |
| Blsh | i got it !!!!!!!!!!! | 18:38 |
| JoshOvki | tekteen: fair enough | 18:38 |
| * JoshOvki steps back | 18:38 | |
| tekteen | Blsh: it works | 18:38 |
| tekteen | ? | 18:38 |
| Blsh | but now my computer locks up when i enable the wifi... | 18:38 |
| tekteen | JoshOvki: it is ok | 18:39 |
| Blsh | or gets reallly slow | 18:39 |
| sh4rm4 | pushax: so kubuntu should usually auto-mount it ? | 18:39 |
| Blsh | i should more or less say..... | 18:39 |
| tekteen | Blsh: :-( | 18:39 |
| tekteen | Blsh: run top | 18:39 |
| pushax | sh4rm4: it did for mine. did you try #sudo discover | 18:39 |
| tekteen | Blsh: why is it going slow | 18:39 |
| Blsh | when i disable the r8169 and ndiswapper then rerun depmod -r then modprobe ndiswrapper i get the device to show up :) | 18:40 |
| tekteen | Blsh: try sudo iwlist scanning | 18:40 |
| pushax | sh4rm4: I'm no expert so my suggestions are only sideliners... | 18:40 |
| sh4rm4 | pushax: not yet | 18:40 |
| JoshOvki | Helikaon: its always strongly discorrages but: sudo passwd root | 18:40 |
| Blsh | it just locked up | 18:40 |
| Blsh | i am going to redo everything after i rewrite the ndiswrapper config | 18:40 |
| sh4rm4 | pushax: i did it, nothing happened | 18:40 |
| Helikaon | JoshOvki: no work, even that tried to change the user passowrd, not root | 18:41 |
| tekteen | Blsh: restart (again) | 18:41 |
| Blsh | logging in :), when it lockes up i cant do anything but restart (lol) | 18:41 |
| pushax | sh4rm4: is you card reader a texas instruments chip? | 18:41 |
| sh4rm4 | no... | 18:41 |
| flipstar | Helikaon: just type sudo then you'll be asked for an password.. | 18:42 |
| JoshOvki | Helikaon: the other option is to do it via System Settings | 18:42 |
| sh4rm4 | pushax: it s a ricoh | 18:43 |
| Blsh | i keep locking up :( | 18:43 |
| dennister | ok, this burning supergrub.iso isn't working for me cuz all my spare cdrw disks may have errors on them (getting old, used a lot) | 18:43 |
| Blsh | damn realtek card :( | 18:43 |
| tekteen | Blsh: I do not know what would lock it p | 18:43 |
| Blsh | i am going to run everythign through the terminal and not konsole | 18:44 |
| Helikaon | JoshOvki: how do you do it via system settings? | 18:44 |
| Blsh | ctrl+alt+f1 here i come lol | 18:44 |
| pushax | sh4rm4: get or run ksysteminfo and see what's happening at your kernel leve when you plug a sd in | 18:44 |
| dennister | still trying to find the hidden restore partition on this emachines pc | 18:44 |
| beener | is there a arcade emu better then kxmame? | 18:44 |
| pushax | sh4rm4: maybe there's an error. if there's no detection then you need to seek out installing driver or firmware | 18:44 |
| sh4rm4 | pushax: its a 0e:06.1 Generic system peripheral [0805]: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter (rev 22) | 18:44 |

| tekteen | !hi|_Shade_ | 18:53 |
| ubotu | _Shade_: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 18:53 |
| pushax | sh4rm4: one you have ksystemlog you may need to add the kernel logs by doing the setup and locating the logs. it should be in the right directory to start | 18:54 |
| tekteen | Blsh: I like gutsy | 18:54 |
| Blsh | can i have gnome and kde without each others menu crud in the other wm? | 18:55 |

| tekteen | just don't use it | 18:56 |
| chidam | i tried kaffeine for opening a .avi file,i can hear the audio all right,but all i can see is bars on the screen | 18:56 |
| tekteen | do you want kde's gnome's or other (icewm, ect) | 18:56 |
| pushax | sh4rm4: once you find out all the details, if it did find it then you may simply need to mount the device | 18:56 |
| tekteen | chidam: try to open it in vlc | 18:56 |
| beener | @chidam get mplayer | 18:57 |

| rais | kubuntu 7.10 | 19:01 |

| Antkin | smurfslover Do you have a problem? | 19:10 |
| smurfslover | feels odd a live cd with kde4 but it's great kubuntu makes so much effort in supporting kde4 | 19:10 |
| smurfslover | xorg in 8.04 does not configure at all | 19:10 |
| smurfslover | had to rip xorg.conf from gutsy live cd | 19:11 |
| smurfslover | but now i can't install nvidia driver | 19:11 |
| nosrednaekim | smurfslover» thats because it 7.3... it is not supposed to need a config | 19:11 |
| smurfslover | it doesn't work without a config | 19:11 |
| smurfslover | so i took the conf from ubuntu gutsy live cd | 19:12 |

| smurfslover | i think i used jockey | 19:16 |
| smurfslover | or something | 19:17 |
| sh4rm4 | yes that s a nice python script to compile the driver especially for your kernel | 19:17 |
| sh4rm4 | including a gui | 19:17 |
| jussi01 | !envy | sh4rm4 | 19:17 |
| ubotu | sh4rm4: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 19:17 |
| sh4rm4 | ubotu: it didnt work here, but envy did | 19:17 |
| jussi01 | !bot > sh4rm4 | 19:17 |
| jussi01 | sh4rm4: We dont support envy, so please dont recomend it. | 19:18 |
| smurfslover | it's not the nvidia driver that causes problems it's hardy | 19:18 |

| MonctonJoe | sh4rm4: how do I get permission? | 19:44 |
| Piddy | thanks | 19:44 |
| intelikey | Piddy you install two OS's | 19:44 |

| JoshOvki | anyone here got backtrack2 and kubuntu dualooting? | 19:46 |
| smurfslover | i put grub on the same partition as the distro | 19:46 |
| tekteen | JoshOvki: I did at one point | 19:46 |
| tekteen | not anymore | 19:46 |
| smurfslover | then pclinuxos puts its grub in mbr and i make chainloaders to the other grubs | 19:47 |
| tekteen | JoshOvki: you need help | 19:47 |
| tekteen | ? | 19:47 |
| JoshOvki | tekteen: shame, ive been trying but had no luck. I might just try installing to a flash drive | 19:47 |
| Antkin | Sorry Windows thinks it's the only system in the world it has to go on first then you add Linux | 19:47 |
| intelikey | JoshOvki sorry. you didn't catch what i was saying, other os does not mean M$ * i.e. "no trouble with grub from other os's" is saying that other operating systems that use grub have no problem with your existing linux install.... | 19:47 |
| tekteen | JoshOvki: I never got it to work on a flash drive | 19:47 |
| stefan_ | okay,I did a reboot | 19:48 |
| JoshOvki | intelikey: ah i see :) | 19:48 |
| stefan_ | the driver is unused | 19:48 |
| smurfslover | pclinuxos as well as kubuntu include other distro's in grub | 19:48 |
| stefan_ | what can I try now? | 19:48 |
| smurfslover | but with kubuntu you need to use the alternate install cd to reconfigure your mbr when it's lost | 19:48 |
| intelikey | i was trying to help break the M$ mentality that there is only one OS... | 19:48 |
| tekteen | JoshOvki: you do not want it on your computer. you want to be able to hide all traces of it ;-) | 19:48 |
| x89x | can i run MS visual studio on ubuntu fiesty ?? | 19:48 |
| * jussi01 wonders why.... | 19:48 | |
| Antkin | Piddy Sorry Windows thinks it's the only system in the world it has to go on first then you add Linux | 19:48 |
| JoshOvki | tekteen: im studying computer forensics, i have good reason for having it :) | 19:49 |
| sh4rm4 | x89x: yes with vmware | 19:49 |
| tekteen | JoshOvki: uh... I am too | 19:49 |
| Piddy | Aw.. I don't wanna waste everything I have on kubuntu :( | 19:49 |
| JoshOvki | tekteen: what year | 19:49 |
| smurfslover | windows is too bloat to use a decent bootloader | 19:49 |
| tekteen | JoshOvki: I am studding pen testing at home | 19:49 |
| tekteen | I am 15 | 19:49 |
| x89x | sh4rm4 : HOw do i get vmware ? | 19:49 |
| intelikey | JoshOvki quick Q, on a box with no partition table what's the first assumption ? | 19:50 |
| Antkin | Piddy do you realy need windows? | 19:50 |
| smurfslover | windows doesn't even want to install on anything but hda1 | 19:50 |
| intelikey | s/box/disk/ | 19:50 |
| jussi01 | !vmware | x89x | 19:50 |
| ubotu | x89x: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 19:50 |
| tekteen | JoshOvki: I want to get a job pen testing when I am older. | 19:50 |
| sh4rm4 | download it from vmware.com ... use a trial to create your windows vm, then use the free vmware player on linux to run it | 19:50 |
| JoshOvki | i would think that its been fdisks so someone is hiding something. so rebuild the table and see whats there | 19:51 |
| JoshOvki | brb | 19:51 |
| Blsh | how can i get a deb for ndiswrapper 1.52? | 19:51 |
| intelikey | JoshOvki heh. ok. but i personally don't use partitions... so first assumptions are not always a good guess. | 19:51 |
| smurfslover | i prefer Virtualbox over vmware | 19:51 |
| intelikey | JoshOvki just thought it might help somewhere along the way... | 19:52 |
| sh4rm4 | smurfslover: is it free? | 19:52 |
| Antkin | Piddy is it Windows XP? | 19:52 |
| Piddy | Antkin: Yes. | 19:52 |
| smurfslover | there's a free version and there's an opensource version | 19:52 |
| smurfslover | proprietary version has usb support | 19:53 |
| JoshOvki | intelikey: just because you havnt set up partitions there is still a table for it. even if it is just one record to say the whole drive is one | 19:53 |
| reese | in which package do i find libgobject-2.0.so.0? | 19:53 |
| smurfslover | but all new features come to the open source version after a while | 19:53 |
| intelikey | smurfslover ? "there's a free version and there's an opensource version" opensource==free what am i missing ? | 19:53 |
| reese | i'm using gutsy 64bit, and I need that package to make work adobe reader with the 32bit emulation | 19:53 |
| x89x | whats the best jussi01 ?? | 19:53 |
| smurfslover | the free version is not open source | 19:53 |
| Antkin | Piddy I can not make any guarantee this will work but it is a last resort | 19:54 |
| smurfslover | you can't get the source code but you don't have to pay to use the program | 19:54 |
| smurfslover | open source is not necessarily free | 19:54 |

| icanhasadmin | So I completely screwed my kubuntu install.. it won't boot now. Last thing I did was change my video drivers from the open source Radeon flgrx to the open source Radeon vesa. Any suggestions? | 20:14 |
| rewati | tekteen ya right now i am using it | 20:14 |
| tekteen | rewati: it it eth0? | 20:15 |
| dennister | yeah...never had any probs with k3b before :( | 20:15 |
| jhutchins | icanhasadmin: Boot to runlevel 3 and fix it. | 20:15 |
| rewati | tekteen yes it is eth0 | 20:15 |
| jhutchins | icanhasadmin: Oh, that's right, kubuntu doesn't need runlevels. | 20:15 |
| tekteen | rewati: pastbin the output of ifconfig | 20:15 |
| jhutchins | icanhasadmin: Guess you'll have to use rescue mode. | 20:15 |
| jhutchins | icanhasadmin: Fun nic btw. | 20:15 |
| tekteen | pastebin* | 20:15 |
| icanhasadmin | jhutchins: thanks, rescue mode is tty... can you point me towards a command that might let me switch it back or diag the problem? | 20:16 |
| jhutchins | startx | 20:16 |
| icanhasadmin | uhm.. oh | 20:16 |
| jhutchins | just raw X is good for testing too, eliminates distractions of loading kde. | 20:16 |
| jhutchins | Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to exit. | 20:16 |
| rewati | tekteen http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58162/ | 20:16 |
| icanhasadmin | i feel stupid. i assumed that would do the same thing?... wait... hm, yep i'm an idiot. | 20:16 |
| icanhasadmin | so "startx" or "raw x".. or "rawx"? | 20:17 |
| tekteen | ok | 20:17 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as pro_ubuntu | ||
| jhutchins | Remember normally you're running the display manger (kdm), which you're bypassing this way. | 20:17 |
| jhutchins | for just plain X the command is X - uppercase, all by itself. | 20:17 |
| jhutchins | All you get is blank desktop and mouse. | 20:18 |
| tekteen | rewati, put this in your /etc/network/interfaces http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58164/ | 20:18 |
| icanhasadmin | i see. i also have gnome installed, does that make a differnece? | 20:18 |

| dushara | Hi does anyone have any i18n experience? | 20:19 |
| icanhasadmin | ok.. so when i "startx".. what x window system will load? just some failsafe one? | 20:20 |
| tekteen | dushara: is that changing keyboards? | 20:20 |
| tekteen | to the international one? | 20:20 |

| tekteen | rewati: did you do that? | 20:20 |
| tekteen | dushara: what do you need? if someone knows how they will answer | 20:21 |
| dushara | yes. But I'm interested in getting IIIMF going. | 20:21 |
| icanhasadmin | ok wish me luck | 20:22 |
| tekteen | dushara: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InputMethods | 20:22 |
| dennister | ok, here's the real prob: want to install kubuntu on emachines pc; it has one of those hidden recovery partitions at the end of the drive, and if I overwrite the mbr, I'll lose access to that recovery partition...any ideas as to what to do, besides backing up current mbr? | 20:22 |
| dushara | Thanks. I'll have a look at the fedora link (didn't notice that before :-) ) | 20:23 |
| tekteen | dennister: you could leave it there | 20:24 |
| tekteen | dennister: or back it up | 20:24 |
| tekteen | dennister: do you have another hd to back it up to? | 20:25 |
| tekteen | dennister: or do you want to leave it tere? | 20:25 |
| dennister | tekteen: of course, but installing kubuntu will mean installing a new mbr if i want it to dual boot | 20:25 |
| tekteen | dennister: kubuntu is smart | 20:26 |
| tekteen | it knows how to start your recovery OS | 20:26 |
| dennister | i know that...been working with it for 2.5 years | 20:26 |
| tekteen | dennister: what is the problem? | 20:26 |
| BluesKaj | dennister: isn't there an option to copy the recovery partition to dvd and use that instead of the HDD ? | 20:26 |
| BluesKaj | or only an option to boot into the recovery | 20:27 |
| BluesKaj | ? | 20:27 |
| chidam | tekteen:i'm getting a msg like unable to lock admin directory,is another process using it.I was trying to install vlc then.. | 20:27 |
| tekteen | !adeptfix | 20:28 |
| ubotu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 20:28 |
| dennister | don't think so...the point is that these recovery partitions are linked to the mbr (which is now windblows-only); by installing kubuntu i overwrite mbr to dual boot with grub...restoring original mbr would restore access to recovery partition, but destroy access to kubuntu | 20:28 |

| nosrednaekim | chidam: did you install the drivers for your videocard? in restricted-manager? | 22:10 |
| nosrednaekim | Erickj92: don't compile them... get them from the repositories | 22:10 |

| emilsedgh | what is the status of gnome games? they have good quality? i never tried | 22:11 |
| Erickj92 | i love the same gnome game | 22:12 |
| nosrednaekim | Erickj92: always look in the repositories before trying to compile | 22:12 |
| Erickj92 | it just lacks the feature of clear scores | 22:12 |
| nosrednaekim | emilsedgh: some are OK.... I prefer the kde ones though. | 22:12 |
| Erickj92 | nosredaekim, just come in here and say: !info <packagenamehere>? | 22:12 |
| nosrednaekim | Erickj92: well, you can "apt-cache search <packagename>" from the command line which does the same thing | 22:13 |
| Erickj92 | ok | 22:13 |
| chidam | nosrednaekim:thanks,i'm installing it now.... | 22:14 |
| emilsedgh | nosrednaekim: do they have good quality as kde4 games? | 22:14 |
| === mi_ is now known as todobg | ||
| nosrednaekim | emilsedgh: not as pretty :) | 22:15 |
| nosrednaekim | and nothing really original like kspaceduel (love that game) | 22:16 |
| emilsedgh | nosrednaekim: you have to try Kollision! its so fun, will come with 4.1 | 22:17 |
| nosrednaekim | haven't tried it... is it like jazzball? | 22:18 |
| nosrednaekim | BRB... gotta get out of this stone-age dapper :) | 22:18 |
| xxBasYxx | how can share desktop on kubuntu computer and what i need to use to connesct that remote desktop, i am on kubuntu too? | 22:20 |
| sMonk | Hello. | 22:21 |
| === todobg is now known as mi | ||
| Erickj92 | hello sMonk | 22:22 |
| Antkin | Monk Welcome do you have a problem? | 22:22 |
| mikademus | Gotta say, in spite of my misgivings, I am enjoying my Kubuntu experience. It is relatively smooth sailing and quite painless. And it does look easthetically comparable to Vista. Am really looking forward to a stable KDE4. | 22:23 |
| sMonk | I'm having a problem playing videos. Every video player seems to be messed up and all players give me an error. For example VLC gives me: Cannot set locale | 22:23 |
| Erickj92 | heh, not even close to vista | 22:23 |
| Erickj92 | vista is ugly | 22:23 |
| Erickj92 | kubuntu is sexy | 22:23 |
| swatto | when will we know when KDE4 is stable? | 22:23 |
| mikademus | I tried the beta, but it was almost unusable, unfortunately | 22:24 |
| spiroo | You never know. Hopefully KDE4.1 will be more user-friendly in July this year | 22:24 |
| Erickj92 | how can you tell which KDE you have? | 22:24 |
| mikademus | Yeah, but what I got between the crashed was one extremely beatiful sytem | 22:24 |
| Antkin | Monk I use Kaffiene without any problems | 22:24 |
| nosrednaekim | Erickj92» click "help->about kde" in any kde app | 22:25 |
| spiroo | You look which version you download? | 22:25 |
| mikademus | Anyone who knows how to install Matisse? | 22:25 |
| sMonk | Kaffiene has a messed up display too | 22:25 |
| Erickj92 | 3.5 | 22:25 |
| nosrednaekim | mikademus» its no longer buggy, but its missing alot of features | 22:25 |
| Erickj92 | heh | 22:25 |
| Erickj92 | i hear KDE4 is good, but doesnt let you customize things enough | 22:25 |
| mikademus | I tried the Kub/KDE4 alpha, and it didn't go well with my system :( | 22:25 |
| sMonk | so does MPlayer | 22:25 |
| nosrednaekim | oh... well THATS buggy :) | 22:26 |
| mikademus | hehe, yeah, I noticed | 22:26 |
| nosrednaekim | Erickj92» just plasma... everything else is just as configurable | 22:26 |
| mikademus | but it looked extremely good | 22:26 |
| sMonk | yeah | 22:26 |
| nosrednaekim | i'm runing 4.0.1 right now and have been for 3 months....rock olid | 22:26 |
| spiroo | the application menu does not look very well though :D | 22:26 |
| Erickj92 | i love KDE. i cant stand GNOME | 22:26 |
| spiroo | No KDE4.0.1 is not solid/stable | 22:27 |
| nosrednaekim | spiroo» you can change it... there is a classicalmenu that no-one mentions for some reason | 22:27 |
| mikademus | Being new to Linux, but a poweruser in other system, I could't stand Gnome, felt claustrophibic in the extreme | 22:27 |
| nosrednaekim | is for me.. but I have heards report it not, so i'm not telling anyone to jump on it. | 22:27 |
| spiroo | okay, but I guess that menu does not fit into KDE4 does it not? | 22:27 |
| sMonk | I get: Cannot set locale for VLC and : gnome_screensaver_control() for MPlayer and Kaffiene is just a messed up video screen with no movie.. I get sound out of all 3 | 22:27 |
| nosrednaekim | spiroo» it does... I can send you a screen shot if you'd like | 22:27 |
| mikademus | But the Mandriva was a very good distro, it detected and set up virtually all my hardware, which no other distro managed. But Gnome killed it for me | 22:27 |
| uboat | hello | 22:28 |
| spiroo | nosrednaekim: Just try desktop effects and you are screwed. My whole system failed. | 22:28 |
| Erickj92 | GNOME is just to far away from anything ive seen. been on windows my whole life, and KDE is the closest ive seen to windows | 22:28 |
| nosrednaekim | spiroo» desktop effect are rock solid too :) | 22:28 |
| BluesKaj | no kde on mandriva ? | 22:28 |
| Antkin | Monk have you taken the advise on how to set up DVD in kaffiene it is on the forum | 22:28 |
| mikademus | Perhaps as an option, but installed as Gnome | 22:28 |
| spiroo | Not for me, when I changed settings, screen went black as the darkest shadow you ever seen. | 22:29 |
| mikademus | #-FF-FF-FF-FF? | 22:29 |
| spiroo | v4.0.2 is out soon btw. | 22:29 |
| Antkin | BluesKaj I have used Mandriva for three years what do you mean no KDE? | 22:29 |
| mikademus | So, anyway, anybody who knows who to install Matisse? | 22:30 |
| spiroo | I hope some apps are coming soon. You cannot do anything for the moment in KDE4. Except those boring little games :D | 22:30 |
| adz21c | Hi, for a while now I not been able to have a bootsplash screen (infact it gives me issues with the live cd for install) It was an on and off issue with feisty, but gutsy i can't at all. Is this a known issue? (Gutsy x64) | 22:30 |
| sMonk | Antkin: This is a very new problem. I was watching videos not more than 3 days ago. I don't know what happend.. VLC player for instance started giving that error "Cannot set locale " but could still see the video, now nothing | 22:30 |
| adz21c | It just crashes my system at boot up | 22:30 |
| Antkin | Monk have you posted on Kubuntu software forum? | 22:31 |
| sMonk | Not as of yet. I just thought I'd try here first | 22:31 |
| Antkin | Monk first choice Kubuntu forum second chice IRC | 22:32 |
| spiroo | btw, does somebody know what the difference is from kde v3.5.8 -> kde v3.5.9 | 22:33 |
| sMonk | Oh ok. | 22:33 |
| mikademus | Wow, a really nice suite of default apps installed with 7.10, I'm really likeing Amorak! | 22:33 |
| nosrednaekim | spiroo» for kubuntu, not much. | 22:33 |
| nosrednaekim | spiroo» mostly a better KDE PIM, but kubuntu already had it | 22:33 |
| spiroo | okay :P | 22:33 |
| nosrednaekim | mikademus» amarok rocks:) | 22:33 |
| mikademus | I'm noticing! | 22:33 |
| nosrednaekim | spiroo» and i've heard alot of problems | 22:34 |
| spiroo | I guess I have to wait then for the big changes for KDE. | 22:34 |
| * regeya fires up quod libet :-> | 22:34 | |
| spiroo | nosrednaekim: Like what problems? | 22:34 |
| nosrednaekim | spiroo» just acting buggy, high CPU ue when pluigging external drives, freezing... yeah | 22:35 |
| spiroo | I have not noticed any bug of that kind anyway. | 22:35 |
| Antkin | mikademus noticing what? | 22:35 |
| spiroo | Wondering something else, the website http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com. Will those changes affect kubuntu or is kubuntu a development for itself? Ubuntu and Kubuntu seems to diff quite much. Even if most people say the only difference is desktop system. | 22:37 |
| nosrednaekim | spiroo» you can file wishes for kubuntu, yes | 22:37 |
| nosrednaekim | spiroo» and any kernel/driver stuff should be the same | 22:37 |
| spiroo | okay, yes I posted a wish for an update on Grub. Seems many people complain regarding bootup :D | 22:38 |
| spiroo | I know about grub2. But I think they/we should think out of the box and develop a new boot loader. Grub is old-school :P | 22:39 |
| Y-Town | I am getting ready to edit my menus is KDE to look and feel the way I want them to... Is there a file I can make a copy of before starting incase I dont like the outcome? | 22:41 |
| nosrednaekim | Y-Town» I think you can restore it to deafults | 22:42 |
| mikademus | Antkin: that Amorak rocks :) | 22:45 |
| mikademus | And the music I'm playing, come to think of it | 22:45 |
| mikademus | Though remixes of ROb Hubbard's "Commando" soundtrack can't fail | 22:46 |
| spiroo | Amarok ;) | 22:46 |
| mikademus | lol, kay, I'll get the hang of it eventually | 22:46 |
| spiroo | yes, Amarok beats Rhytmbox, Singbird, Winamp, XMMS and every single music player in the world! :D | 22:47 |
| spiroo | *songbird | 22:47 |
| mikademus | Well, I do love my Foobar2000 for my WInXP setup | 22:47 |
| mikademus | Hmm, since I am chatting in here, I could ask you what you think of the chances of success for my diabolic plan | 22:48 |
| mikademus | The only things keeping my on Windows is Photoshop, MS Office and Visual Studio 2008 | 22:49 |
| mikademus | Can I run Photoshop CS3 and VS2008 under Linux/Wine? | 22:49 |
| Y-Town | I am getting ready to edit my menus in kde and was wondering if there is a file I can backup before I start incase I want to go back to the way it currently is? | 22:49 |
| adz21c | mikademus: photoshop i think is a possibility, as for Vs2k8 i am thinking unlikely | 22:50 |
| nosrednaekim | mikademus» little hint... BTW, don't try it here, but "/media" will automatically display what yu are listening too | 22:50 |
| mikademus | Ah, that could get messy if too many do it... I immediately though about channels filled with adolescents *shudders* | 22:51 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Morrison | ||
| nosrednaekim | XD | 22:51 |
| Erickj92 | what is a good program that is like microsoft money for kubuntu? | 22:51 |
| mikademus | So, is there a consensus that Visual Studio might be a problem to get to work under Wine? | 22:52 |
| adz21c | mikademus: i would think so, personally i run XP under virtualbox for vs2k5, runs as if i am in windows | 22:52 |

| icanhasadmin | nosrednaekim: if this works i love you, seriously. | 22:53 |
| Erickj92 | lol | 22:54 |
| Erickj92 | nosrdnekim, looks like you'll have a new fan | 22:54 |
| Antkin | norsednaekin Hello | 22:54 |
| nosrednaekim | icanhasadmin» you'll need to log out and then back in | 22:54 |
| mikademus | Ok, so virtualisation is the way to go, then. :( But I'll ask in their channel, too. | 22:54 |
| icanhasadmin | nosrednaekim: I figured, thanks. I should note, I only love you if uninstalling xgl fixes my issue ;) | 22:54 |
| icanhasadmin | brb | 22:55 |
| mikademus | Speaking of virtualisation, is there a VM that can emulate different graphics adapters? Say a 3Dfx Voodoo? | 22:55 |
| icanhasadmin | Yep, I love you. | 22:56 |
| icanhasadmin | Seriously, I really do. | 22:56 |
| icanhasadmin | So now a question. Why is XGL made of such fail? and was it maybe a botched install or is it really just that bad? | 22:57 |
| Erickj92 | rofl | 22:57 |
| Erickj92 | i just did "sudo apt-get install kde4games" and it did all the steps, but where are the kde4games at? | 22:57 |
| nosrednaekim | icanhasadmin» you need a decent graphics card | 22:57 |
| nosrednaekim | Erickj92» uhh those are gonna be pretty old... | 22:58 |
| Arwen | icanhasadmin, XGL is made of fail because it's a hack of X | 22:58 |

| Blsh | how come on lspci i don't see my wifi device? | 22:59 |
| Erickj92 | what is an awesome game taht is 3d, and that will keep me entertained for hours? | 22:59 |
| * Arwen used to have fglrx running in XGL. Buggy piece of junk... | 22:59 | |
| icanhasadmin | nosrednaekim: if it's my crappy graphics card (which i admit is bad), why does fglrx CLAIM to support it? | 22:59 |
| Arwen | Erickj92, Unreal Tournament 3 | 22:59 |
| icanhasadmin | and i'm assuming fglrx installed xgl, because i didn't install xgll in any other way | 22:59 |
| Erickj92 | sweet | 22:59 |
| Arwen | icanhasadmin, well, it claims to support a lot of things (note that if you're lucky, you can use fglrx Catalyst 8.2 and dodge XGL altogether) | 23:00 |
| icanhasadmin | Arwen: Ultimately it would be nice if I could get it to work that way. I fear i lack neccesary expertise. | 23:01 |
| Arwen | bah, I tried it on my X300SE | 23:02 |
| Arwen | it didn't work (and it made the login screen unreadable too) | 23:02 |
| Arwen | and then the l-r-m team laughed at me when I filed a bug report | 23:02 |
| Arwen | so back on the free drivers for me... | 23:02 |
| x89x | how do i install kdevelop anyone ?????? | 23:02 |
| icanhasadmin | Actually.. wait.. I HAD IT working. Because I was able to run "Phun" which requires open GL, and I didn't have XGL installed. | 23:03 |
| nosrednaekim | icanhasadmin» what graphics car? | 23:03 |
| icanhasadmin | xpress 200m, absolute garbage.. but as i said it worked with Phun, which was primary reason for seeking out drivers | 23:03 |
| nosrednaekim | icanhasadmin» yep.. that works... running one right now | 23:04 |
| nosrednaekim | well, xpress1100, but its the same thing inside | 23:04 |
| x89x | kdevelop anyone ??? | 23:04 |

| Blsh | yes, i have the hard line (eth0) and a wifi by them (rtl8187B) | 23:10 |
| mikademus | Hmm, is this a bug? I have added a second panel to the desktop, but I can only configure the 1st from the panel settings, even when I go through the 2nd one to get to the settings? | 23:10 |

| mikademus | Yeah, that did it. What did I do? Seems like very strane syntax... | 23:13 |
| nosrednaekim | Blsh» right.... you only see one network device? | 23:13 |
| Blsh | yes | 23:13 |
| nosrednaekim | what does "iwconfig" say? | 23:13 |
| Blsh | is there another command like lkspci that show all devices? | 23:13 |
| regeya | I wont even say that I did a dist-upgrade to upgrade; that's not the tool you use to upgrade *buntu, even though that's precisely what dist-upgrade is there for | 23:13 |
| nosrednaekim | dewitt» it may be 7.10 still(there was a bug) but it sould be 8.04, so be careful | 23:13 |

| Daisuke_Laptop | Blsh: use the win98 driver with ndiswrapper. | 23:34 |
| pablo | a litle bit | 23:34 |
| pablo | i cant find how to do it | 23:35 |
| nosrednaekim | ya vista drivers don't work with ndiswrapper yet. | 23:35 |
| Blsh | yes i was using the win98 | 23:35 |
| Blsh | but reguardless of the driver shouldn't it show up in lshw or lspci???? | 23:36 |
| nosrednaekim | hmm true | 23:36 |
| Antkin | Blsh Win 98 no longer safe on the internet | 23:36 |
| Dominic | Blsh: is this a laptop? | 23:37 |
| x89x | how do i delete fiels using the xterminal >>? | 23:38 |
| Dominic | x89x: rm filename | 23:38 |
| x89x | Dominic : I want to remove the backup of my xorg. The file name is xorg.conf.20080303045834. SO i typed in rm etc\x11\xorg.conf.20080303045834 | 23:39 |
| x89x | its not working ?? Is tehre something wrong in that ? | 23:39 |
| Dominic | x89x: two things, you need to use "sudo" to get root permissions as it's a system file. Secondly, you need forward slashes on Linux (/), not backslashes. You probably want one in front of etc also. So /etc/x11/xorg.conf.2008... Lastly, backups are good and it probably doesn't take up much space :) | 23:40 |
| nosrednaekim | x89x» no need to remove that | 23:41 |
| nosrednaekim | Dominic» and that was 3 things ;) | 23:41 |
| Dominic | they just kept coming :) | 23:41 |
| x89x | I have 3 backups dominic. My working copy is the best. I have just edited the screen refresh rate | 23:41 |
| x89x | nosrednaekim : I am not able to remove it !! Its giving an error saying no such file or directory !! | 23:44 |
| nosrednaekim | x89x» forthly... you have to start with /etc | 23:44 |
| Dominic | x89x: use your tab key to automatically complete what you're typing - it'll ensure the file exists and avoids mistakes | 23:44 |
| x89x | I typed | 23:45 |
| x89x | x89x@x89x-desktop:~$ sudo rm /etc/x11/xorg.conf.20080303045834 | 23:45 |
| x89x | rm: cannot remove `/etc/x11/xorg.conf.20080303045834': No such file or directory | 23:45 |
| nosrednaekim | apparently it doesn't exist | 23:45 |
| x89x | the files is there. and tab is not doing anything here :( | 23:45 |
| nosrednaekim | how do you know its there? | 23:45 |
| Dominic | try doing "ls /etc/x11/" | 23:46 |
| x89x | even after /etc/!!! | 23:46 |
| nosrednaekim | uhh.... its an upper case X BTW | 23:46 |
| x89x | is it case sensitive !!! | 23:46 |
| nosrednaekim | fifthly ;) | 23:46 |
| nosrednaekim | ya | 23:46 |
| x89x | OMG !! | 23:46 |
| x89x | lol | 23:46 |
| prince_jammys | X11 | 23:46 |
| BobSapp | how do i install the restricted drivers under kubuntu for nvidia? | 23:47 |
| Dominic | BobSapp: you should have an icon in the taskbar for restricted drivers, or click on the K menu, System Settings, Advanced, Restricted Drivers. Then you can just tick the box. | 23:47 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | it requires goat's blood and the feathers of a chicken killed at exactly 27 weeks, 3 days, 12 minutes, and 15 seconds of age. | 23:48 |
| BobSapp | ty | 23:48 |
| x89x | nosrednaekim : Did using TAB. Still not working !!!! | 23:48 |
| Antkin | pablo Hello | 23:48 |
| === dent-42 is now known as bobby5 | ||
| nosrednaekim | Daisuke_Laptop» might have been faster to give the real answer ^_^............. but the humor would definately be lacking :) | 23:49 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | nosrednaekim: that's why i leave the real answers to others sometimes :) | 23:49 |
| x89x | nosrednaekim : its working :) | 23:49 |
| nosrednaekim | x89x» seriously.. don't worry about it | 23:49 |
| x89x | thnaks | 23:49 |
| x89x | hehe | 23:49 |
| x89x | i'll create a backup right now using the cp command | 23:50 |
| BobSapp | cp??? | 23:50 |
| x89x | btw whats SUDO for ?? whtas the full form ? | 23:50 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | sudo is the full form | 23:50 |
| nosrednaekim | sudo stands for "super user do" | 23:50 |
| x89x | thanks | 23:50 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | it runs a program with escalated privileges | 23:50 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | so be careful what you do with it :) | 23:50 |
| Ax-Ax | why doens't find sort files alfabethichaly? have i set something? | 23:51 |
| Dominic | Ax-Ax: you can pipe it to "sort", for instance: find /home/dominic -name file | sort | 23:51 |
| x89x | nosrednaekim : can i write sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/xorg.conf.backup2 to make a new backup ?? | 23:51 |
| nosrednaekim | yep | 23:52 |
| nosrednaekim | a backup in your home DIR of course | 23:52 |
| x89x | home !! | 23:52 |
| nosrednaekim | thats what ~ means | 23:52 |
| x89x | oh i though it'd be in the same path. What do i do if i dont want to wrote the whole path ? | 23:52 |
| Ax-Ax | Dominic, i just wondered why it goes "b, a, c, e, d" | 23:52 |
| nosrednaekim | x89x» cd there first | 23:52 |
| Blsh | well i installed a bcm43xx but now when i do network scans i see nothing | 23:53 |
| nosrednaekim | "cd /etc/X11/" then "cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup" | 23:53 |
| Dominic | Ax-Ax: I /think/ it's to do with the filesystem (which could then depend upon any number of factors, perhaps the order in which the files were written, or an index is maintained) | 23:53 |
| nosrednaekim | well, the second command will need sudo | 23:53 |
| x89x | nosrednaekim : All working :-) | 23:54 |
