| nosrednaekim | is it an ecrypted access point? | 00:28 |
| vinny2 | no | 00:28 |
| vinny2 | do i need to install the drivers | 00:29 |
| nosrednaekim | probably not | 00:29 |
| vinny2 | it says its connecting, up intill 28 percent then it says connection failure | 00:30 |

| atomicpotato | I have an album in FLAC + CUE format, is there a tool on Linux that I can use to split it into multiple FLACs? | 00:35 |
| vinny2 | mandragora what version is it | 00:36 |
| mandragora | i don't really know... but i think it's gutsy gibbon... 7.1? | 00:36 |
| drarem | how can I echo something to another terminal and press the enter key, kinda of like this.. echo 'ls -lh ~' > /dev/pts1 | 00:36 |
| vinny2 | i have 8.04 | 00:37 |
| vinny2 | if u have that, u can install it under windows | 00:37 |
| ubuntu | /dev/sda4 is my boot/root partition.. /dev/sda1 is my windows partition.. http://rafb.net/p/hFGwsy55.html what is wrong on this /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 00:37 |
| vinny2 | but its not 100% stable | 00:37 |
| vinny2 | ubuntu can u help me with my wireless network | 00:37 |
| mandragora | i couldn't... i's to run linux from it's live cd and from there install it... but i'm trying and i'm not being able... | 00:38 |
| vinny2 | what os do u have installed now | 00:38 |
| atomicpotato | never mind then... I found it myself.... no thanks to the channel | 00:38 |
| mandragora | XP | 00:38 |
| vinny2 | ok, find 8.04 live cd, download it in xp. When ur done burning the disc, run it, under xp and it will let u install it in xp | 00:39 |
| vinny2 | thats what i did | 00:39 |
| mandragora | ok... i'll try | 00:40 |
| vinny2 | its easy to set up, no having to partion, and it is self installing almost | 00:40 |
| Daisuke_Ido | hardy is still alpha, it should not be recommended to new users. | 00:40 |
| vinny2 | i like the fact, u can install it and uninstall it under xp | 00:40 |
| vinny2 | no partioning | 00:40 |
| mandragora | does it have the latest KDE version? | 00:40 |
| vinny2 | no | 00:40 |
| vinny2 | it has 3. something | 00:40 |
| vinny2 | it doesnt have 4 | 00:40 |
| vinny2 | but it has the most up to date version of 3 | 00:41 |
| vinny2 | is it ok if i give him the link of a website? | 00:41 |
| vinny2 | i dont want to break any rules | 00:41 |
| mandragora | but as daisuke said, will be hard to me? i mean... this version is much difficult i've been 3 days ttrying to connect to internet | 00:42 |
| ubuntu | mandragora: 3.5.9 is used on 8.04 by default, there also is a kde4 version but i would really not reccomend you to use it since you seem to be new to kubuntu/linux | 00:42 |
| vinny2 | its my first time using ubuntu to, but ubuntu is an expert | 00:42 |
| ubuntu | =O geez thanks.. i woulnt call myself an expert lol | 00:43 |
| vinny2 | http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Operating-Systems/Linux-Distributions/Kubuntu-Hardy-Heron-32978.shtml | 00:43 |
| vinny2 | thats the link to 8.04 | 00:43 |
| vinny2 | that i used | 00:43 |
| mandragora | yeah ubuntu, i don't know anything about linux but i've rread that this verison of linux is the most friendly becouse of the KDE enviroment... | 00:43 |
| vinny2 | i wish i could use ubuntu, but when ever i install it, and boot it up for the first time, it says installion failed | 00:44 |
| vinny2 | only kubuntu worked when i installed it | 00:44 |
| vinny2 | xubuntu said it failed | 00:44 |
| mandragora | but the unix is so hard to me that i must read lot of tutorials for doing almost everything | 00:44 |
| ubuntu | kubuntu looks more like windows as ubuntu, thats why kde is more easy to most new users | 00:44 |
| mandragora | i couldn't even run the xubuntu live cd | 00:45 |
| vinny2 | kde 4 is almost like windows vista, only faster, smarter, and better | 00:45 |
| vinny2 | :) | 00:45 |
| vinny2 | dont run the live cd | 00:45 |
| mandragora | ;P | 00:45 |
| vinny2 | run the cd in windows | 00:45 |
| vinny2 | and it will guide u though how to install | 00:45 |
| vinny2 | and it will keep windows intact | 00:46 |
| vinny2 | so u can uninstall kubuntu is u dont like it | 00:46 |
| mandragora | lol, it was useless, and so it is the cd of kubuntu on windows, it says why i should have it.. | 00:46 |
| vinny2 | it installs it under windows, but when u boot up it says boot windows or boot kubuntu | 00:46 |
| mandragora | and this version, i mean the one i have can be installed on windows? | 00:47 |
| vinny2 | yes | 00:47 |
| vinny2 | and uninstalled in windows | 00:47 |
| mandragora | how? | 00:47 |
| vinny2 | really easily | 00:47 |
| vinny2 | idk, it just does | 00:47 |
| Dr_willis | I beliuve that is using the 'wubi' install method. | 00:47 |
| Dr_willis | which is putting a large file thats a virtual drive that it boots/runs from | 00:47 |
| vinny2 | thanks you dr willis | 00:47 |
| Dr_willis | I dident think that was in Gutsy however.. | 00:48 |
| vinny2 | its in 8.04 | 00:48 |
| vinny2 | i dont know how to install it any other way | 00:48 |
| Dr_willis | Thats Pre-releae-alpha stuff.. | 00:48 |
| vinny2 | im too afraid of ruining windows | 00:48 |
| vinny2 | not its alpha 5 | 00:48 |
| Dr_willis | vinny2, this is why one does backups. :) | 00:48 |
| vinny2 | i dont have an exturnal drive | 00:48 |
| === darren_ is now known as Dorwin6 | ||
| Dr_willis | i keep linux on its own hard drive. Makes it much easier to install. I dont use external drives for installing | 00:48 |
| mandragora | wich is the latest, but when i downloaded kubuntu was alpha, so i thought it would have had lot of bugs and chrases,,, | 00:49 |
| vinny2 | im so impressed with kubuntu, i have a 6 year old laptop and it runs fine | 00:49 |
| Dr_willis | WUBI can have its own set of... issues.. | 00:49 |
| vinny2 | and i only have 256mb of ram | 00:49 |
| vinny2 | like what | 00:49 |
| Dorwin6 | Hi guys, do u know where is the kubuntu source list ? | 00:49 |
| Dr_willis | Like it dont work very well for a lot of people. | 00:49 |
| ZeroOhm | can someone give me a good IRC channel for ubuntu? | 00:49 |
| Dr_willis | I dont use it, and i dont reccomnd using wibu | 00:49 |
| Dr_willis | ZeroOhm, #ubuntu ? | 00:49 |
| Dorwin6 | ZeroOhm : #ubuntu | 00:49 |
| vinny2 | wubi failed to install ubuntu, and xubuntu, but i have install kubuntu with it about 6 times and it worked every time | 00:49 |
| ubuntu | /dev/sda4 is my boot/root partition.. /dev/sda1 is my windows partition.. http://rafb.net/p/hFGwsy55.html what is wrong on this /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 00:50 |
| Dr_willis | vinny2, makes you wonder why it failed. The 3 are using the same installer program. | 00:50 |
| vinny2 | i think it has to do with my hardware and gmone | 00:50 |
| Jucato | ubuntu: sda4 = (hd0,3) | 00:50 |
| vinny2 | 6 year old laptops, cant teach an old pc new tricks... or in this case the os i really want | 00:51 |
| ubuntu | jucato: i love you <3 | 00:51 |
| Jucato | heh :) | 00:51 |
| vinny2 | i also like gos but i want to install it in wibi, not though a comand line | 00:51 |
| Daisuke_Ido | vinny2: gnome isn't going to make the install fail. | 00:51 |
| Dr_willis | you can install the gos packages on any ubuntu system easially enough. | 00:51 |
| vinny2 | well why would ubuntu, edubuntu, and xubuntu fail | 00:51 |
| vinny2 | how do i install gos | 00:51 |
| Dr_willis | vinny2, now ya know why i dont look forward for WUBI being ofiaially on the next release | 00:52 |
| Daisuke_Ido | why would you want to is the better question... | 00:52 |
| ubuntu | jucato: from all the times i asked on this chat u was 99% of the time the person to help me out =) thanks | 00:52 |
| Dr_willis | vinny2, the gos web site lists the proper repos to enable and packages to install. | 00:52 |
| Jucato | I was? wow! you're very much welcome :) | 00:52 |
| Dr_willis | theres also the geubuntu variant | 00:52 |
| vinny2 | because i like my mac, because of the dock, and i want it on my laptop | 00:52 |
| vinny2 | what package | 00:52 |
| vinny2 | debien | 00:52 |
| vinny2 | or something like that | 00:52 |
| Dr_willis | The gos-desktop metapackage most lilkely ONCE you enable the proper gos repositories | 00:53 |
| Dorwin6 | can anyone tell me where is the source list in kubuntu | 00:53 |
| Dr_willis | Dorwin6, /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:53 |
| Jucato | Dorwin6: /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:53 |
| vinny2 | grrr, i hate having to find things | 00:53 |
| Dorwin6 | thanks | 00:53 |
| mandragora | hey there | 00:53 |
| vinny2 | its such a pain | 00:53 |
| mandragora | this is the problem... | 00:53 |
| Dr_willis | vinny2, if wanting to use gos - it is worth wile to read the info at their web site. | 00:53 |
| mandragora | the partition | 00:53 |
| mandragora | i had my disk partition on windows...ç | 00:53 |
| vinny2 | where can i find, ec/apt/sources, just to know | 00:53 |
| vinny2 | i also want kde 4 but i need to no where that is | 00:53 |
| mandragora | but i don't know about it... | 00:54 |
| vinny2 | lol i want it all | 00:54 |
| Daisuke_Ido | vinny2: /etc/sources.list | 00:54 |
| Jucato | /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:54 |
| vinny2 | thanks | 00:54 |
| Daisuke_Ido | oopsie | 00:54 |
| Daisuke_Ido | yes | 00:54 |
| mandragora | HEYYY! | 00:54 |

| vinny2 | i can see my network and everything, but when i try to connect, it says connection failure | 00:55 |
| Dr_willis | I find the gos/geubuntu stuff to be a bit over hyped for what it does. | 00:55 |
| vinny2 | i have to use ethernet... grrr | 00:55 |
| Jucato | gos and geubuntu are 2 different distros I think | 00:55 |

| vinny2 | a new card? | 00:56 |
| Dorwin6 | what is the command to install updates ? | 00:57 |
| Jucato | Dr_willis: gOS is the everex one, OpenGEU (formerly geubuntu) is a different one. gOS is overhyped :) | 00:57 |
| Dr_willis | If im not at the desk.. im on the... err.. throne. in the reading room.. and i even have my bathroom wired with gigabit :) | 00:57 |
| Dr_willis | Jucato, ive tried both the desktops.. and found them both... well.. lacking. :) | 00:57 |
| Jucato | Dorwin6: "sudo apt-get update" to fetch updates and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to install them | 00:57 |
| Dorwin6 | thank you | 00:57 |
| Jucato | Dr_willis: I read that gOS doesn't even have a GUI text editor :) | 00:57 |
| Dr_willis | somthing aobut the 'lets claim to be super-light desktop but include all this eyecandy that makes the whole system sluggush!' :) | 00:57 |

| vinny2 | is there such thing as wifi cards compatible with kubuntu | 00:58 |
| Jucato | !wifi | 00:58 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 00:58 |
| vinny2 | i tried that ubotu | 00:58 |
| Jucato | if it works in Ubuntu, it should work in Kubuntu as well since they use the same backend (networkmanager) | 00:59 |
| Dr_willis | E17 used to be the big bloated thing.. and really the special effects are not that special. :) In fact its downright ugly at times.. if i want light- i will stick with jwm i guess. | 00:59 |
| vinny2 | idk if it works in ubuntu | 00:59 |
| vinny2 | i dont have ubuntu | 00:59 |

| vinny2 | im a noob | 01:05 |
| Dr_willis | I think some reading of the KDE and Linux beginner guides would be helpfull. :) | 01:05 |
| Jucato | hi nosrednaekim! | 01:05 |
| vinny2 | im not new to linux, just kde and kubuntu | 01:05 |
| Jucato | the the KDE/Kubuntu guides :) | 01:05 |
| vinny2 | lol, i feel stupid now | 01:05 |
| vinny2 | all these years of linux, and im reading a manual | 01:06 |
| Dr_willis | years of linux and you cant figure out kde? :) | 01:06 |
| vinny2 | i have never used it | 01:06 |
| Jucato | can't believe you haven't run into KDE all these years :) | 01:06 |
| vinny2 | again, dsl | 01:06 |
| vinny2 | damn small linux | 01:06 |
| Jucato | yeah, but not even once? just once? :) | 01:07 |
| vinny2 | its only like 50mb so its striped down | 01:07 |
| Dr_willis | sounds like your linux experience is very small like your disrto. | 01:07 |

| Dr_willis | :) and yes i use dsl at times also. | 01:07 |
| vinny2 | no, i dont no how to install with out desrupting windows | 01:07 |
| Dr_willis | vinny2, all these years and you never tried eh? | 01:07 |
| Jucato | ubuntu: sda4 is a swap partition.. it's not your boot partition | 01:07 |
| vinny2 | untill wubi | 01:07 |
| vinny2 | well i have tried normal ubuntu with the live cd | 01:07 |
| vinny2 | and knoppix, witch i think is kde | 01:08 |
| vinny2 | but i only used the live cd | 01:08 |
| vinny2 | never installed it | 01:08 |
| Dr_willis | knoppix can come with other desktops as well. | 01:08 |
| ubuntu | jucato: sda3 is the boot/root partition | 01:08 |
| Jucato | ubuntu: in fact, you don't have a boot partition. only a root partition (which would include /boot) at sda3 (hd0,2) | 01:08 |
| Dr_willis | slax is another nice live cd. | 01:08 |
| vinny2 | i think i used kill bill slax | 01:08 |
| vinny2 | once | 01:08 |
| vinny2 | live cd | 01:08 |
| vinny2 | but it does have wubi so i dont no how to install it | 01:08 |
| mandragora | hey thanks to all... i love u! | 01:08 |
| Jucato | ubuntu: yeah. sda3, not sda4 as you previously said. sda3 = hd0,2 | 01:08 |

| Jucato | ubuntu: yes | 01:09 |
| vinny2 | u already told me | 01:09 |
| ubuntu | jucato: thanks ;) | 01:09 |

| Jucato | ubuntu: sdb1 would be hd1,0... "a" = 0, "b" = 1, "c" = 2, etc | 01:10 |
| Dr_willis | I can do that with a normal install vinny2 :) | 01:10 |
| vinny2 | but i cant | 01:10 |
| ubuntu | jucato: lets see if it works ^.^ | 01:10 |

| Dr_willis | i did get slax isntalled/booting off my USB thumb drive last week. :) which is nifty | 01:11 |
| vinny2 | if i brake it, i cant afford a new one | 01:11 |
| Dr_willis | vinny2, this is why we have backups. | 01:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | uh | 01:11 |
| vinny2 | no exturnal | 01:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you're not going to "break" your pc. | 01:11 |
| Dr_willis | now we have gone full circle in this discussion. | 01:11 |
| vinny2 | by break i mean, screw up windows | 01:11 |
| Dr_willis | You have had years to learn it.. but are afraid to learn.. and now you are using a Pre-release version of kubuntu. thats asking for problems | 01:12 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you are aware that you don't have to buy a new computer if windows screws up, right? | 01:12 |
| Jucato | unless you don't have an extra partition, there's no reason why your Windows will be touched at all | 01:12 |

| vinny2 | and my mac, is for work | 01:12 |
| Daisuke_Ido | nosrednaekim: yeah, he's recommending that complete newbies switch to hardy so they can use wubi (a poor decision on the devs' part) | 01:12 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you can't put a word processor on the other pc? | 01:13 |
| nosrednaekim | whoa... who is reccomending that? | 01:13 |

| ubuntu_ | hi! i've just booted a Hardy livecd on a new machine. the livecd environment seems not to contain the rudimentary include files like sys/types.h etc. -- is there an apt command that installs them? | 01:18 |
| Dr_willis | Theres a lot not included on the live cd. :) due to size reasons. | 01:18 |
| ubuntu_ | i can understand that, certainly! | 01:18 |
| ubuntu_ | apt-get seems to do a good job of fetching them, even if i don't know quite where they are going (ram disk?) | 01:19 |
| ubuntu_ | but i couldn't quite figure out where these include files should come from | 01:19 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ubuntu_: try in #ubuntu+1 - this channel is for dapper through gutsy support. also, why would you compile anything on a live cd environment? | 01:19 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ubuntu_: build-essential is probably the package you're looking for | 01:19 |
| ubuntu_ | the reason is, i am trying to rescue my other linux installation: the new motherboard has an IDE controller which is rather new, and i need to compile a crucial kernel module | 01:19 |
| Dr_willis | of course all this stuff gets downloaded/installed to ram... | 01:19 |
| Dr_willis | So new its not in hardy. egads thats new. | 01:20 |
| ubuntu_ | oh no, it is in hardy... but my other installation is gentoo | 01:20 |
| drarem | can i send a command to another terminal? echo 'ls -lh .' > /dev/pts/2 | 01:20 |
| ubuntu_ | the trouble is that the gentoo livecd is not new enough to have it! | 01:20 |
| ubuntu_ | the fact that it's in hardy is exactly how i managed to get booted at all | 01:20 |
| Dr_willis | you could boot the hardy live cd and access the files perhaps? | 01:20 |
| ubuntu_ | yes, that i can do | 01:20 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ubuntu_: yeah, you're going to want build-essential, maybe use some chroot magic | 01:21 |
| ubuntu_ | but then there is another problem: i cannot chroot, because that system is 64-bit, and the 64-bit hardy livecd didn't work (why?) | 01:21 |
| Daisuke_Ido | but after that, i'm lost | 01:21 |
| ubuntu_ | i think (hope!) building in the 32-bit environment will do the trick though: thanks for the pointer to build-essential | 01:21 |
| Daisuke_Ido | um... | 01:22 |
| cpk1 | ubuntu_: you could mount one of your partitions and tell apt to download to there as well | 01:22 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you're compiling a 32-bit kernel module to use with a 64-bit kernel? | 01:22 |
| ubuntu_ | no, i will compile it 64-bit of course | 01:22 |
| ubuntu_ | but cross compile from this 32-bit environment (or do i miss some reason this won't work?) | 01:23 |
| ubuntu | okay.. that was smart.. edit a file, close the file, reboot to see if it works.. (forget to save the file) | 01:24 |
| prince_jammys | !tell prince_jammys about compiz | 01:29 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu :) see now Windows would of nagged you 100 times to save the file! | 01:30 |

| Makuseru | BluesKaj: it says "Error playing media: There is no avalible decoder" | 02:10 |

| matthew_ | what packages do i need to compile a new kernel? | 04:04 |
| mneptok | matthew_: why do you think you need to compile a kernel? | 04:06 |
| matthew_ | no module for my sound | 04:07 |
| matthew_ | previous kubuntu version had it, but not 7.10... | 04:07 |
| matthew_ | hardy has it too.. but just not 7.10 | 04:08 |
| yao_ziyuan | ktorrent can't open downloaded folders that containing chinese chars | 04:08 |
| yao_ziyuan | i suggest ubuntu uses the official bittorrent client | 04:08 |
| matthew_ | mneptok: scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.c:312: error: ‘KEY_RESIZE’ undeclared (first use in this function) | 04:13 |
| matthew_ | and kubuntu has no /proc/config.gz (every distro should have that!) | 04:13 |

| rewati | is my sound card | 04:14 |
| matthew_ | rewati: mine too.. that's what I am try to rebuild the kernel for. | 04:14 |
| rewati | ok do i need to recompile my kernel | 04:15 |
| matthew_ | It worked fine in 7.04 and in Hardy... but not in 7.10 | 04:15 |
| rewati | matthew_ ok do i need to recompile my kernel | 04:15 |
| matthew_ | that just didn't even include the kernel module | 04:15 |
| matthew_ | rewati: according to a google post.. and, appearantly, yes. | 04:15 |
| matthew_ | the module isn't there.. they just left it out, appearantly. | 04:15 |
| rewati | matthew_ can u give me sm link so that i can do that | 04:16 |
| matthew_ | rewati: on most distros, it's a simple process.. but I am right now trying to figure it out on kubuntu.. they've got something different going on... | 04:16 |
| matthew_ | that i don't understand yet | 04:16 |
| rewati | ok | 04:17 |
| rewati | i am using ubuntu but i have installed kbuntu on it so i think it shoud be same | 04:17 |
| rewati | matthew_ i am using ubuntu but i have installed kbuntu on it so i think it shoud be same | 04:19 |
| matthew_ | rewati: normally (but not with (k)ubuntu), you just: cd /usr/src/linux; zcat /proc/config.gz >.config; make menuconfig; make; make install | 04:20 |
| matthew_ | and, if upgrading, you add a "make mrproper" before make menuconfig | 04:20 |
| matthew_ | but i am getting errors even with make menuconfig | 04:21 |
| rewati | matthew_ i don have /proc/config.gz | 04:24 |
| matthew_ | rewati: correct.. sadly, they didn't select that option when building the kernel. | 04:25 |
| user1 | Hello all | 04:25 |
| rewati | matthew_ so wat to do now | 04:26 |
| matthew_ | rewati: but the kernel source package does appear to have a .config already in it | 04:26 |
| matthew_ | rewati: I don't know.. i am googling for the answer.. | 04:26 |
| rewati | there are two source 1 is generic which one to go with | 04:26 |
| rewati | mathew_ there are two source 1 is generic which one to go with | 04:26 |

| Erickj92 | i just installed Ubuntu along side Kubuntu, but Ubuntu is not showing up in my grub menu | 04:50 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | uh | 04:51 |
| qmr | Hey, how do I copy a CD on the fly in k3b ?? | 04:51 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | did you install the ubuntu-desktop package? | 04:51 |
| Erickj92 | the what?? | 04:51 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | how did you install ubuntu alongside kubuntu | 04:52 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | you are aware it's the same OS with a different desktop environment, right? there's no need for two installations | 04:52 |
| Erickj92 | i used the guided install to resize my harddrive, and let it do its thing | 04:52 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | that was pointless | 04:52 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 04:53 |
| Erickj92 | but i want KDE and GNOME | 04:53 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | you'll HAVE kde and gnome | 04:53 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | you select what you want from the login screen | 04:53 |
| Erickj92 | i see | 04:53 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | trust me, it's a much better use of space - you can keep settings between the two, share the same home directory | 04:54 |
| Erickj92 | i dont really want to share the same home directory | 04:54 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | i flip back and forth between gnome, kde, xfce, fluxbox, enlightenment, whatever i feel like at the time | 04:54 |
| Erickj92 | i want 2 different computers, basically | 04:54 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | ah... | 04:55 |
| Erickj92 | really? | 04:55 |
| Erickj92 | so should i just delete the partition with Ubuntu on it, and resize the partition with Kubuntu on it? | 04:55 |
| Erickj92 | or, what can i do at this point? | 04:56 |
| Erickj92 | Diasuke, what can i do now? | 04:58 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | sorry, checking on dinner | 04:58 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | well, i don't know why grub wouldn't show the other - possibly because they're the same kernel maybe? should have been something... | 04:58 |
| Erickj92 | i see | 04:59 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | but that's what i would personally recommend, deleting and resizing | 04:59 |
| Erickj92 | well im in gparted and see that i can get rid of Ubuntu | 04:59 |
| Erickj92 | but it wont let me resize the partition with Kubuntu on it | 04:59 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | no, that you'll have to do from the livecd | 04:59 |
| Erickj92 | ahh, i see | 04:59 |
| Erickj92 | how long will you be here? | 05:00 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | not long tonight | 05:00 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | bout to eat dinner, watch a movie and go to bed | 05:00 |
| Erickj92 | ok | 05:00 |
| Erickj92 | well if your not here, ill just try to get some one else | 05:00 |
| Erickj92 | so its: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? | 05:01 |
| qmr | How do I copy a CD on the fly in ubuntu? | 05:01 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | right | 05:01 |
| Erickj92 | ok | 05:01 |
| Erickj92 | or: sudo apt-get install xubunut-desktop | 05:01 |

| Pendeta | When I run tracert on any external url I get all stars except for the first and last line. Is this the fault of my ISP or a problem with my computer? | 06:04 |
| SilentDis | Pendeta: sounds like the machine is actually reaching the remote server, but something is blocking in between, does it happen to everything you traceroute to? | 06:06 |
| Pendeta | SilentDis, yes. However, most web pages still load in Firefox. But I have one website (my own) I cannot connect to in any way. For that web site I usually get all stars except for the first line. | 06:09 |
| Pendeta | ...when using tracert/ | 06:10 |
| SilentDis | Pendeta: whom are you using for an isp? | 06:10 |
| Pendeta | SilentDis, Telkomnet, an Indonesian ISP. | 06:12 |
| SilentDis | Pendeta: hmm... no idea on that one. i know comcast blocks in some areas in the US, for example, same with verizon. | 06:12 |
| Pendeta | SilentDis, what do they block and why? | 06:13 |
| SilentDis | Pendeta: they block because they think it's 'hacking' to do stuff like that, or they don't want their networks responding and 'wasting' bandwidth. i herd a multitude of answers from the comcast guys when i was using them. | 06:14 |

| Erickj92 | kooldock doesnt have the effects | 06:17 |
| Erickj92 | i like the kiba effects | 06:17 |
| prince_jammys | the bouncing? | 06:18 |
| Erickj92 | yeah, and the flying | 06:18 |
| prince_jammys | because it does do the zoom thing | 06:18 |
| Erickj92 | kooldock was alright. i just love the awesome effects that kiba-dock has | 06:18 |

| jussi01 | Y-Town: Im not sure which package they come in. but they are installed by default afaik | 09:36 |
| Y-Town | yea... I have been looking and just cant find | 09:36 |
| Y-Town | I found the gmome ones :o) | 09:36 |
| jussi01 | Y-Town: any partcular reason you need the package name? | 09:37 |
| Y-Town | so I can use it or install it... whichever is needed | 09:37 |
| jussi01 | Y-Town: you can use those tools in konsole | 09:37 |
| jussi01 | ie. ping www.google.com | 09:37 |
| Y-Town | <<<------ GUI | 09:38 |
| Y-Town | but I can I guess | 09:38 |
| GSF1200S | Jussi01: so its just setting access rights.. Im just making sure im not OPENING files as root | 09:38 |
| jussi01 | GSF1200S: correct. to open things as root you need to use sudo | 09:39 |
| jussi01 | (or kdesudo) | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | kdesu for gui apps | 09:39 |
| GSF1200S | right, but the only way to open the directory is to open konqueror/dolphin as root | 09:40 |
| GSF1200S | or sudo/kdesu | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip | GSF1200S, where is the folder located? | 09:41 |
| GSF1200S | home folder | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | try sudo chown <your user name> <folder> | 09:41 |
| jussi01 | GSF1200S: yes, if the folder is owned by root, the only one who can make changes is root. | 09:41 |
| jussi01 | but anyone can open it | 09:41 |
| Apple_Cat | GSF1200S: you can check permissions with " ls -l", and you will only be opening something as root if you sudo, or if you're asked for a password | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | GSF1200S, if you change the owner (chown) as root (the current owner). it willbe given to the user | 09:42 |
| GSF1200S | Ok.. this is all my bad.. im not being clear enough- I want to lock a folder to where only the root account can access and view the contents, including opening the files/running scripts, but I dont want those files scripts to run with admin/root privledges | 09:43 |
| GSF1200S | sorry I wasnt more clear | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip | GSF1200S, chown the individual files but leave the folder owned by root (my guess) | 09:45 |
| GSF1200S | ActionParsnip: cool.. ill give that a shot | 09:45 |
| GSF1200S | Thanks jussi01, Apple_Cat as well :) | 09:45 |
| jussi01 | :) | 09:47 |
| Apple_Cat | np | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | GSF1200S, any joy? | 09:49 |
| GSF1200S | trying as we speak: multitasking quite a bit :) let you know in a few.. | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | cool | 09:51 |
| Apple_Cat | man chown, and man chmod should sort things out if you have any problems | 09:53 |
| GSF1200S | that will do perfect guys | 09:56 |
| GSF1200S | thanks alot | 09:56 |
| GSF1200S | ActionParsnip, Apple_Cat- thanks :) | 09:56 |

| comp8 | i pasted it from Kate | 10:22 |
| Apple_Cat | hrm i might just leave it to ActionParsnip for a bit then | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | comp8, if you type pwd what do you get? | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | comp8, should be a single line | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | like /home/andy is what I get | 10:23 |
| comp8 | let me try that? | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | comp8, yeah go for it | 10:23 |
| comp8 | let me get this straight cd/etc/X11 right? | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | comp8, you need a space afer cd | 10:24 |
| comp8 | ok | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | cd /etc/X11 | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | comp8, ok so far | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ? | 10:25 |
| comp8 | still not working | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | you need to hit enter at the end | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | if you type pwd (and hit enter) what does it say? | 10:26 |

| ActionParsnip | comp8, ok now type sudo cp xorg.cong xorg.conf.bak | 10:27 |
| === lyrai is now known as SHOOT_THE_CORE | ||
| ActionParsnip | comp8, this will back up your xorg.conf incase things go wrong and we can easily roll back | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | comp8, all good? | 10:28 |
| comp8 | it says file not found | 10:28 |
| comp8 | the xorg.cong | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | if you typ pwd does it reply: /etc/X11 | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | comp8, its xorg.conf | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | not cong | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | conf = config | 10:29 |
| comp8 | let me try that | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | comp8, its really good practise to backup files like this before messing with them | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | comp8, you can copy/paste from here to the konsole too | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak | 10:31 |
| comp8 | it's now in the folder you had said what next? | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | ok now kdesu kate xorg.conf | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | this will enable us to edit the file | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | in kate | 10:32 |
| comp8 | sory what?? | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | kdesu kate xorg.conf | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | kdesu gives us admin power, kate is the program to run and we want to open xorg.conf | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | comp8, is it open? | 10:33 |
| comp8 | it;s open | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ok fabulous | 10:33 |
| comp8 | next | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | comp8, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-656870.html read that down a bit til you see the word monitor | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | and read down YOUR file on your system in kate | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | basically that guy has the same monitor as you | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | so if you copy his monitor config lines and paste it to yours so that ONLY that section is identical | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | you should be ok. | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | you get me. say if you dont cos it will cause hell if this file is damaged (hence the backup) | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | ? | 10:35 |
| comp8 | i still dont get it,let me read it a bit 1 min ok? | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | np | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | you need the line starting Section "Monitor" | 10:36 |
| comp8 | found it | 10:36 |
| comp8 | just copy paste right? | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | comp8, totally | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | comp8, only the monitor bit though | 10:38 |
| comp8 | mine is commented,does that matter? | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | comp8, the monitor bit wont be commented | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | comp8, yours just says http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58349/ | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | comp8, line 97 to 100 | 10:39 |
| comp8 | i've pasted it should i save the file? | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | yes save and exit kate | 10:39 |
| comp8 | i ahve whats next? | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | comp8, now when you restart (just to test) it should come back up and be ok | 10:40 |
| comp8 | let me restart now n we see,give me a minute...? | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | sure | 10:41 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | anybody knows where I can find information on creating an HA cluster with kubuntu? | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | whats HA? | 10:42 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | High Availability. | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | gundam_rx78nt1, do you mean just a load of redundant servers in a cluster | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | gundam_rx78nt1, found this: http://www.ram.org/computing/linux/linux_cluster.html | 10:45 |
| * ActionParsnip hopes comp8 comes back | 10:47 | |
| ActionParsnip | Apple_Cat, can you see anything wrong with my advice? | 10:48 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | ActionParsnip, I have read that one already. they are using their own written software for the redundancy functionality.. I want to create a clustered load balanced wed cluster. | 10:49 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | web cluster. It's so that my web site is up no matter which server goes down. | 10:49 |
| Apple_Cat | ActionParsnip: nope, it all seemed pretty straightforward | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Apple_Cat, cheers. Just dont like sending peeps toxorg.conf ville | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | gundam_rx78nt1, http://www.linux.com/feature/114005 | 10:53 |
| ForgeAus | hehe thats a paradox if ever I saw one, theres someone with the nickname human_being in ##windows! | 10:53 |
| Apple_Cat | lol xorg.conf ville | 10:54 |
| Apple_Cat | lol windows | 10:54 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | ActionParsnip: That is for redundant routers. | 10:56 |
| * ActionParsnip thinks aero looks cheap | 10:56 | |
| ActionParsnip | gundam_rx78nt1, its not something ive looked at. I'm just googling | 10:57 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | oh, ok | 10:57 |
| Apple_Cat | .....cheap...and icky | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Apple_Cat, I was talking to a guy in ##windows who said he bought Vista purely because of Aero | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | theres a cola called Ubuntu too now | 11:00 |
| Apple_Cat | each to his own i guess, but on the other hand.... WHY!?! | 11:00 |

| ActionParsnip | Danskmand, sup | 11:03 |
| Danskmand | I am connecting to the Ubuntu-server from my win-client using putty and have a Xming server running too on the client. I have set up putty to forwart the X11 to my client so I can work from my client...But I have a problem with my .Xauthority file thats in the home-dir....its owned by root, so when I start a program, I get a "unable to write" error.....when I chown the file to the user, it works like a charm....Until I reboot, its back to | 11:07 |
| Danskmand | How can I make it permanent ? | 11:07 |
| Danskmand | Actually this conversation runs that way using Pidgin.... | 11:08 |

| TheFuzzball | ActionParsnip: why? | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | TheFuzzball, that will make your system reboot | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | rewati, you done your updates yet? | 11:18 |

| comp8 | error actually,it just hangs and waits as if its about to start. It just brings up the kubuntu logo n then hangs ,this after loading everything | 11:30 |
| comp8 | now i have it on live cd, what next? | 11:30 |
| Apple_Cat | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg maybe ? | 11:30 |
| Apple_Cat | hrm ? | 11:32 |

| ActionParsnip | Apple_Cat, he cant run that if it hangs at login | 11:32 |
| Apple_Cat | so no more screen out of range ? | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Apple_Cat, you have a go but there is a backup of xorg.conf called xorg.conf.bak | 11:32 |
| Apple_Cat | yeah, i didn't see that before i posted | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | I gotta jet | 11:33 |

| comp8 | thats ok... | 11:38 |
| Apple_Cat | hm sorry,maybe it would be easier to just boot up into recovery mode | 11:39 |
| comp8 | how do i do that? | 11:39 |
| Apple_Cat | just reboot, then it should come up with the grub meny and there should some options, one of them will be ubuntu recovery mode | 11:40 |
| Apple_Cat | menu* | 11:40 |
| comp8 | its up waiting for me to type something | 11:42 |
| Apple_Cat | ok great, i think I'll try get you to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 11:42 |
| comp8 | so i just type that in? | 11:43 |
| Apple_Cat | what does it say on the screen ? | 11:43 |
| Apple_Cat | yep, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 11:43 |
| comp8 | right now it just says root@comp8:~# | 11:43 |

| jackault | Is there a way to get kinfocenter to generate a report containing all the system specs? | 11:45 |

| Apple_Cat | dmidecode -q | less, not kinfocenter, but will print system specs, jackault | 11:46 |
| Apple_Cat | say yes, comp8 | 11:46 |
| comp8 | there are several drivers listed with i810 seelcted | 11:46 |
| Apple_Cat | is it asking you to select anything ? | 11:47 |
| comp8 | it says select the desired x server driver with an ok button at the bottom but there is one already selected,should i say ok? | 11:48 |
| Apple_Cat | if it has already selected one, just select <OK> and continue | 11:48 |
| jackault | thanks Apple_Cat | 11:48 |
| Apple_Cat | next screen should ask for an identifier, it should say the name of your video card, select <OK> | 11:49 |

| Marphine | Hey folks I have an issue that I am hoping to find a resolution to that's related to the K3b burning app | 12:26 |
| Apple_Cat | no worries,comp8 ^^ | 12:26 |
| Marphine | It's the primary reason that I maintain a dual boot system these days | 12:26 |
| Apple_Cat | What's the issue ? | 12:27 |
| Marphine | What ha[ppens is that I go to launch the app, the cursor bounces like it's loading... | 12:27 |
| Marphine | and then... | 12:27 |

| Marphine | yup | 12:28 |
| Apple_Cat | purging ? | 12:28 |
| Marphine | elaborate please re: purging | 12:28 |
| jussi01 | sudo apt-get remove --purge packagename | 12:29 |
| Apple_Cat | yep, that's the one | 12:29 |
| Marphine | I will now | 12:29 |
| Marphine | what's it supposed to accomplish? | 12:30 |
| Apple_Cat | purging removes some config files and whatnot | 12:31 |
| Marphine | okay purged now reinstalling from konsole | 12:33 |
| Apple_Cat | so the theory is if you remove the program and it's config files, then reinstall you might get rid of whatever is causing the problems | 12:33 |
| baudthief | I guess I have to revert to MS office then :( | 12:34 |
| Apple_Cat | baudthief: ? | 12:34 |
| Marphine | grrrr | 12:34 |

| Dorwin6 | hi what is the command to install kubuntu package after downloading it | 13:33 |
| Dorwin6 | was it something like sudo apt-get install disp-update | 13:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Normally one uses 'sudo apt-get install whatever' | 13:34 |
| Dr_Willis | you DONT 'download' it beforhand normally | 13:34 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo dpkg -i whatever.deb | 13:34 |
| Dr_Willis | for dwnloaded ones.. BUT that may not get all the dependencies. | 13:34 |
| Dorwin6 | DR_Willis : how do i install of all the updates that I've just downloaded from sources.list | 13:36 |
| Jucato | Dorwin6: how did you download them? | 13:36 |
| * Jucato believes he already gave an answer to the same question earlier... | 13:36 | |
| Dr_Willis | sudo apt-get update | 13:36 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo apt-get upgrade | 13:36 |
| Dr_Willis | there ya go.. :) thas how i do it. | 13:37 |
| Dorwin6 | thanks that is what I am looking for | 13:37 |
| Dorwin6 | upgrades | 13:37 |
| Jucato | [Tue Mar 4 2008] [08:55:23] <Jucato> Dorwin6: "sudo apt-get update" to fetch updates and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to install them | 13:37 |
| Jucato | turns out I gave the same answer to the same question to the same person earlier :) | 13:37 |
| Dorwin6 | Jucato : I have just reformat again :( so its gone. | 13:38 |
| Dorwin6 | jucato : I shall write it down now | 13:38 |
| Dorwin6 | jucato : im trying to install kubuntu from scratch again to make sure I remember what everyone has thought me before | 13:38 |
| Jucato | :D | 13:38 |
| * Jucato hugs his IRC logs | 13:38 | |
| Dr_Willis | Dorwin6, that update, did NOT download the 'updates' it updated the LIST of packages. and thus knows what ones are now upgradeable :) | 13:38 |
| Dr_Willis | I think i got that rught. heh | 13:39 |
| Jucato | basically "sudo apt-get update" just checks if there are updates available | 13:39 |
| Dr_Willis | it fetches the list of updates i guess is correct to say. | 13:39 |
| * Jucato nods | 13:39 | |
| * Dorwin6 thank jucato and Dr_Willis for thier help | 13:40 | |
| Dorwin6 | will note down the commands now | 13:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Dorwin6, those are pretty much 'apt-get' fundamentals.. :) Lesson 1, day one. | 13:49 |
| Dr_Willis | I need to read more on the apt system also.. its so... interesting. | 13:49 |
| Dorwin6 | Dr_Willis : any book that you would able to suggest me to read | 13:50 |
| Dr_Willis | !apt-get | 13:51 |

| nosrednaekim | Arwen» man sed | 14:58 |
| Arwen | sed is too confusing | 14:58 |
| Arwen | also, is there any reason that amarok can't read album art embedded in FLAC files? | 14:59 |
| Odd-rationale | Did the kubuntu guys ever get around to redesigning the kubuntu website? I noticed that it is no longer in the topic, but the site seems to be the same.... | 14:59 |
| jussi01 | Odd-rationale: Id ask in #kubuntu-devel | 15:00 |
| nosrednaekim | Odd-rationale» they are working on it | 15:00 |
| nosrednaekim | should be ready by the time hardy is released | 15:00 |
| Odd-rationale | nosrednaekim: That is good to know! I don't really like the current design.... | 15:00 |
| Arwen | hehe | 15:01 |
| Arwen | nosrednaekim, I tried using sed with the expression "s/ /_" but that only seems to do the first line? | 15:02 |
| nosrednaekim | Arwen» there is probably a option to do it for every line | 15:03 |
| Arwen | argh, I can't understand the man page... | 15:04 |
| nosrednaekim | Arwen» are you doing capital r or small r? | 15:05 |
| Arwen | r? | 15:05 |
| nosrednaekim | for the file input.... or maybe I don't understand the man page either ^_^ | 15:06 |
| nosrednaekim | try "sed s/ /_ r filename" | 15:06 |
| Arwen | hrmm | 15:07 |
| nosrednaekim | and back up the file first of course ;) | 15:07 |
| Arwen | -e expression #1, char 2: unterminated `s' command | 15:07 |
| Arwen | :-? | 15:07 |
| nosrednaekim | bleh :) | 15:07 |
| Arwen | bah, I tried learning to use gawk too. ARGH EYECANCER. | 15:08 |
| nosrednaekim | try "sed s/" "/_ r filename" | 15:08 |

| nosrednaekim | (the internal ones)\ | 15:08 |
| Arwen | same error, except in char5 | 15:08 |
| Arwen | :-) | 15:08 |
| julle | How can i change Konversation to not open weblinks in Lynx? | 15:08 |
| Arwen | hmm, never mind, I found it. It was "sed -e 's/ /_/g' filename" | 15:09 |
| Arwen | julle, change your default browser in KDE | 15:09 |
| nosrednaekim | julle» configure->general->misc->default browser | 15:09 |
| julle | okey thax | 15:10 |
| nosrednaekim | ah... -e :) | 15:10 |
| nosrednaekim | shoulda seen that | 15:10 |
| Arwen | hmm, changing Konversation to use a grey on black colorscheme doesn't really work | 15:10 |
| Arwen | yay for invisible text | 15:11 |
| Jucato | Arwen: it's a long story, but you'll have to manually tweak colors in Konvi because some parts don't always follow the KDE color scheme | 15:11 |
| djdarkman | does kde have a partitioner? (qtparted doesn`t count) | 15:14 |
| Jucato | there's another one in kde-apps.org just forgot the name | 15:14 |
| Jucato | djdarkman: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Disk+Manager?content=70149 I think | 15:16 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, the default purple-pink text quits & joins is ugly. | 15:17 |
| jhutchins_wk | Why does a DE need a disk partition tool in the first place? | 15:19 |
| BluesKaj | I changed most of the default text clours in konverstion due to colour fatigue :) | 15:19 |
| Jucato | jhutchins_wk: admin tools perhaps | 15:20 |
| * jhutchins_wk rejects the wrongheaded notion that system administration should involve a GUI. That's Windows. | 15:21 | |
| clau30_ | hellp. does the kubuntu live-dvd have support for ntfs partitions? | 15:21 |
| clau30_ | i ment hello :) | 15:22 |
| Jucato | jhutchins_wk: I didn't say "system adminstrator". I said "system administration", which can be performed by a desktop user on his system | 15:22 |
| Arwen | clau30_, yes | 15:22 |
| Jucato | unless it's a wrongheaded notion that a user should do that | 15:22 |
| mrunagi | i cant seem to figure out remote desktop, does anyone have experience with this? | 15:22 |
| mrunagi | !vnc | 15:23 |
| ubotu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 15:23 |
| jhutchins_wk | Jucato: If the user thinks he needs a GUI to do it, yes. | 15:23 |
| mrunagi | what password does the remote desktop want? | 15:23 |
| clau30_ | Arwen: default or do I have to install it? gutsy 7.10 dvd i mean | 15:24 |
| Arwen | ntfstools should be installed by default | 15:24 |
| ghostcube | guys mac osx to linux samba or shh must be the same locale coding :| | 15:24 |
| ghostcube | mmaybe this is tthe prob here too | 15:24 |
| Jucato | I don't think gutsy has ntfstools installed by default, but it does have ntfs-3g installed but not enabled | 15:24 |
| ghostcube | hmmmm is there any idea for the compiz-taskbar thing maybe it doesnt recognize ShowAllWindows=false | 15:25 |
| clau30_ | Jucato: so I can use ntfs-xyz to mount those partionions? I'll try it out | 15:26 |
| clau30_ | thanks all | 15:26 |
| Arwen | ghostcube, hmm? compiz-taskbar only shows local windows here | 15:26 |
| djdarkman | thanks Jucato I found it too, one problem: t requires OpenSuSE's hwinfo, parted and HAL/DBus support, and is part of the DARKSTAR Linux Project. | 15:26 |
| Arwen | do you actually have it running? you have to remove the normal one and add the applet | 15:26 |
| ghostcube | Arwen: sure im compiz support :| | 15:27 |
| ghostcube | it doesnt work with kde 3.58 and 3.5.9 | 15:27 |

| LjL | !nickspam | root__, root______, root________ | 15:32 |

| znoG | hey all .. is it possible to do a minimal install of Kubuntu? (ie. no KDE .. like a base install). The idea is to install on a server so I want to avoid installing KDE and any graphical stuff. | 15:54 |
| stdin | znoG: just install the server edition then | 15:54 |
| znoG | didn't know there was a kubuntu server edition. Nice! Thanks | 15:55 |
| stdin | there is a Ubuntu server edition, not sure if there's a Kubuntu one, but then it would be the same anyway | 15:55 |
| znoG | yep, its ubuntu .. time to d/l | 15:56 |
| LjL | znoG, the only difference between Ubuntu and Kubuntu is that one has GNOME, and the other KDE. so a Kubuntu without KDE simply makes no sense | 16:01 |
| LjL | znoG: you can use the server-specific edition, or you could also actually do a minimal install of the non-server Ubuntu | 16:01 |
| LjL | !minimal | 16:01 |
| ubotu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 16:01 |
| znoG | LjL: yep, I figured. I thought since I have the Kubuntu DVD, I could save myself downloading an ISO by not installing any graphical stuff | 16:02 |
| znoG | cool, thanks! | 16:02 |
| LjL | znoG, however the normal ("live") CD (and i guess the DVD, but i've never used the DVD) is structured in a way that doesn't allow you to select what to install | 16:02 |

| m-lund | Hmm - seems like i have the same problem with konqueror 3.5.8 - not able to detect the java plugin when scanning for plugins. But firefox can. | 18:01 |
| BluesKaj | m-lund, try scanning,afterwards choose the default settings | 18:05 |
| m-lund | BluesKaj: Tried that. I'm sure it scans the right directories. It founds 2 out of 3 plugins: vlc and flash. But not java.... | 18:06 |
| m-lund | BluesKaj: An I have all the alternatives linked right together. And firefox finds all three of them. | 18:07 |
| BluesKaj | m-lund, in the konq/settings/ javascript tab / open new windows , choose allow instaed of smart | 18:08 |
| m-lund | BluesKaj: I don't think it is the issue. Java is not even on the list, after I have scanned for new plugins while other plugins are. | 18:10 |
| m-lund | BluesKaj: And I know for sure, that it is scanning the right directories. | 18:11 |
| BluesKaj | m-lund, there is a seperate setting option for java-javascript in konq, make sure you have it set up | 18:12 |
| chidam__ | i recommend using firefox, better than konq in my opinion | 18:13 |
| BluesKaj | chidam__, i used FF for a while but I'm still using konq if possible, altho it's more difficult to setup it's somewhat safer IMO | 18:14 |
| m-lund | BluesKaj: Same issue - But I would think I would be able to see the plugin right after having scanned for it. Also nspluginscanner doesn't detect the java-plugin. | 18:15 |
| coreymon77 | BluesKaj: why do you say that? | 18:15 |
| coreymon77 | BluesKaj: i use ff all the time, i find its extensions capabilities way too useful | 18:15 |
| m-lund | coreymon77: I actually prefer konqueror too... Especially the Web shortcuts build into krunner (alt+f2) | 18:16 |
| renewip | sorry for my stupid question! will Hardy be released with KDE4 or KDE3? | 18:16 |
| m-lund | renewip: Both. | 18:16 |
| coreymon77 | i believe the default will be kde3 | 18:17 |
| coreymon77 | but there will be kde4 packages | 18:17 |
| m-lund | renewip: there will be an ordinary KDE3 version. And a user supported KDE4 | 18:17 |
| BluesKaj | ok, m-lund , try this in the terminal : sudo update-alternatives --config java , post your output in pastebin | 18:17 |
| m-lund | BluesKaj: Only one line: There is only 1 program which provides java... (/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java). Nothing to configure. | 18:18 |

| ubotu | Level15: reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html | 19:45 |

| Arwen | !xfs | 19:46 |
| ubotu | xfs is a high-performance journaling filesystem originally developped by Silicon Graphics for their IRIX OS. It is now fully supported by Linux so you can install Ubuntu on it if you wish. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS | 19:46 |

| Erickj92 | or mean, channels | 20:05 |

| Erickj92 | 65 channels | 20:06 |
| Erickj92 | only 5 networks | 20:06 |
| trappist | Erickj92: irssi can keep up with that easily, but without clickiness it might get tough to navigate at that point, I dunno - never joined that many channels at a time. but it's extraordinarily configurable, so I'm sure it could be made pretty pleasant. | 20:06 |

| lod__air | hi, I like to ask for an advice before reporting a bug. I'm using both kde and gnome's desktops and when kdm is running i have only "logout" option in Kmenu, but if i run gdm as frontend i've got all (shutdown, restart, suspend and etc..) i've tried changeing kdm runlevel in all rc.d from S13 to S31 but no use.. | 21:33 |

| nosrednaekim | *XGL | 21:39 |
| lod__air | yes | 21:39 |
| limbeaux | i installed kde4 on 7.10, but it seems to be buggy and i get errors on network browsing | 21:39 |
| Ertain | In Adept, and in the repositories I'm using, when I click to upgrade (though not commiting the packs) it says it's going to remove a lot of KDE system packs. Can anyone shine any light on this? I'm using the KDE4 repository that's suggested in the Wiki, but I doubt that's the problem. | 21:39 |
| niall_ | limbeaux: I'm using it right now. Plasma has crashed once in the past three days, but immediately restored. The worst problem I have is that the KDE Control Centre network setting module doesn't work, so I had to manually write a smb.conf to share files. Otherwise it's fine. | 21:39 |
| lod__air | and i'm with alfa and have no 3d | 21:39 |
| lod__air | from personal exp. if something in kde craches over and over | 21:40 |

| pulaski | I've checked all the perms, the symlink and its target but the message is the same. | 23:24 |
| Bizzeh | icanhasadmin: get fglrx on there first | 23:24 |
| icanhasadmin | Bizzeh: I'm guessing I probabaly shouldn't use the repos? I can get the newest catlyst drivers from the site... | 23:24 |
| Bizzeh | newest ones from the site are your best bet | 23:25 |
| icanhasadmin | pulaski: I understand.. but did you TRY "chmod +x /myremove_all.py".. just for fun? | 23:25 |
| icanhasadmin | Bizzeh: So does that mean there's some hope? or i'm guessing there's some crazy work around i'll need to find after i install this.. | 23:26 |

| icanhasadmin | pulaski: that's really really odd. never run into anything chmod +x didn't fix. atleast not a permission problem | 23:29 |
| Bizzeh | icanhasadmin: im not sure then, first thing i do when installing a new copy of any linux dist is get fglrx on here, because standard ati drivers blow | 23:30 |

| Daisuke_Laptop | if you had an INPUT card, you could do it that way | 23:38 |
| mith_ | it's a tv out | 23:38 |
| meox | anyone | 23:38 |
| meox | help | 23:38 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | mith_: yeah, tv *out* | 23:38 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | not in | 23:38 |
| meox | plz | 23:38 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | you're not getting tv on your monitor that way, unfortunately | 23:39 |
| pulaski | icanhasadmin, thanks I got it to work my moving myremvoe_all.py to ~/ | 23:39 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | meox: if you knew the address of the irc server, you hsould be alright connecting through konversation | 23:39 |
| icanhasadmin | pulaski: great :) glad it worked out | 23:39 |
| meox | how do i find the wyldryde IRC adress | 23:39 |
| icanhasadmin | So, it appears I already have fglrx installed and working properly, go figure. | 23:39 |
| icanhasadmin | Does that mean compiz should work without glx loaded? | 23:40 |
| mith_ | i have searched for it or something in dcop about my tv screen...and googled it...hmm ... it looks like i must write a program my own for it :) | 23:40 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | ... | 23:40 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | mith_: are you just not listening? | 23:40 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | TV-OUT means it OUTPUTS a video signal TO the tv. it DOES NOT input a signal FROM the tv. | 23:41 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | meox: try irc.wyldride.org (i think) | 23:41 |
| icanhasadmin | OH, nevermind. apparently i have to start compiz and tell it not to check for glx.. YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME THAT y'know ;) ;) | 23:41 |
| mith_ | i know that...i don't watch the tv programs...i know it's output... i'm not stupid... my tv works as a secondary monitor | 23:41 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | okay, your question didn't make any sense | 23:42 |
| icanhasadmin | oo.. or i can just add the fglrx driver to the whitelist in compiz... | 23:42 |
| mith_ | and i want a small window on my primary monitor the actually pic inside that...which shows what's going on my secondary monitor (it's the tv) | 23:42 |
| icanhasadmin | fun | 23:42 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | you want a thumbnailed version of the output to the second monitor | 23:43 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | okay... | 23:43 |
| mith_ | yes yes :) | 23:43 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | NOW i understand, my apologies | 23:43 |
| icanhasadmin | Wait, mith, can't you just.. turn your head and look at it? | 23:43 |
| * icanhasadmin grins | 23:43 | |
| Daisuke_Laptop | in that case, i have absolutely no idea | 23:43 |
| mith_ | icanhasadmin: there is a wardrobe between my pc and my tv... | 23:44 |
| icanhasadmin | mith_: now i see your predicament | 23:45 |
| icanhasadmin | what video drivers you use? | 23:45 |
| mith_ | icanhasadmin: the newest restricted nvidia driver (from envy) | 23:46 |
| icanhasadmin | Ah, there's a subject I know absolutely nothing about. again, very sorry :/ | 23:47 |
| icanhasadmin | brb, need reboot x | 23:47 |
| mith_ | hmm it looks like i can do this with vlc i've googled for other words... | 23:49 |

| Daisuke_Laptop | !envy | 23:52 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 23:52 |
| jhutchins | mith_: Interesting, vlc within the same system? | 23:53 |
| mith_ | Daisuke_Laptop: okay i will remove it.... | 23:55 |
| mith_ | jhutchins: i don't know, but it can get a chance... | 23:56 |
| jhutchins | mith_: I think you would have to have a secondary output from the actual program redirected to your other desktop. | 23:57 |
| mith_ | jhutchins: yes i found the option in vlc, i test it in a few moments | 23:58 |
| icanhasadmin | So compiz won't start | 23:59 |
| icanhasadmin | fglrx is well, i even whitelisted it for compiz | 23:59 |
| icanhasadmin | even tried skip check (if my syntax was right) | 23:59 |
| icanhasadmin | gives me the classic "Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present." error | 23:59 |
