| Daisuke_Ido | X9nLinux1: glad you haven't left | 00:10 |
|---|---|---|
| Daisuke_Ido | i think what you will have to do is use the livecd to resize and move those partitions | 00:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | (since you can't move or resize them when they're mounted) | 00:10 |
| X9nLinux1 | Yup, still here. | 00:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i don't know how OS X demands space though, so i can't guarantee anything | 00:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | if OS X won't install on the freed space, it would probably be both quicker and easier to start from scratch, installing OS X first | 00:11 |
| X9nLinux1 | Once 'something' is available it at least gives me a fighting chance to sort that part out | 00:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | again, i'm no expert in powerpc, so grain of salt and all that | 00:11 |
| X9nLinux1 | this is a secondary machine, so I don't have to be in a warp speed hurry either | 00:12 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that's always a plus :) | 00:12 |
| Daisuke_Ido | is that one of the old brightly-coloured berry imacs? | 00:12 |
| X9nLinux1 | frankly, part of this is to get used to handling the two systems. | 00:12 |
| X9nLinux1 | no, its a dark blue color. Just a regular imac | 00:13 |
| X9nLinux1 | I don't do those flower power things | 00:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | heh. that was just a complete side thing... i'm considering acquiring an imac at some point | 00:13 |
| X9nLinux1 | Well, do you like to work on your machine much? | 00:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i don't work on it much | 00:14 |
| X9nLinux1 | if the answer is yes, I wouldn't do an imac ever again. They are a royal pita to open up until you finally get used to them | 00:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | oh, no, i was just looking for an imac for fun | 00:14 |
| X9nLinux1 | For working on them, I love the old beige boxes, whip the cover off and start throwing new stuff in and out. Still running one (g3) right now even. | 00:15 |
| X9nLinux1 | am seriously entertaining trying to see if I can get dapper to install on one of those even. Maybe I like that kind of self flogging | 00:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | what i have now i built myself, and i wouldn't trade it, just playing with an imac would be interesting for me (i haven't actually *used* a mac since system 7) | 00:15 |

| vinegaroon | stond: you probably need to remount it | 00:18 |
| x_link | That has always installed the nvidia-driver for me. | 00:18 |
| X9nLinux1 | Well, I'll go explore the live cd to see if it will behave. If all else fails, there's always a reinstall. Thanks | 00:18 |
| X9nLinux1 | Warning: Gloating dad syndrome here! | 00:18 |
| x_link | I just re-installed my system. But that doesn't install nvidia now for me. | 00:18 |
| X9nLinux1 | oops, sorry about the extra | 00:18 |
| x_link | Does anybody know why? | 00:18 |
| vinegaroon | x_link: have you tried using the restricted drivers manager? | 00:19 |
| x_link | No? | 00:19 |

| crxyem | ah | 00:28 |
| vinegaroon | murat: what is the error you're getting? | 00:28 |

| bobby55 | sorry for butting in mid-conversation | 00:28 |

| leo_rockw | vinegaroon: port 80 is just the regular port | 01:45 |

| leo_rockw | vinegaroon: not when it works. i don't remember if it said it when i had the dns problem | 01:47 |
| murat | with wired devices | 01:47 |
| leo_rockw | ubuntu_: kubuntu comes with support for bluetooth, but if they are not working with the livecd then idk if they will work in your final installation | 01:48 |

| deathwire | hi. I have a problem with my kubuntu gutsy system where it doesn't detect when I insert usb devices such as flash drives and cameras, but on my kubuntu fiesty laptop, it works just fine. (Note: my gutsy system is an upgraded fiesty system). any ideas? | 01:55 |
| sotero | yes | 01:56 |
| seishinbyou | other question, bluetooth is not popular in Japan and I wonder what people use it for in the west. Is it a type of wireless USB? | 01:56 |
| sotero | i need conected web cam to | 01:56 |
| ubuntu_ | how can I mount my hd through a live cd? | 01:56 |
| jhutchins | seishinbyou: Sortof. | 01:57 |
| sotero | kubuntu no have vmware more? | 01:57 |
| deathwire | seishinbyou, I use bluetooth to communicate to my cellphone: transfering images, ring tones, using it as a modem, etc | 01:57 |
| jhutchins | seishinbyou: It mostly connects headsets to cellphones, but there are a few other uses. | 01:57 |
| seishinbyou | Thanks. I've actually never seen someone use a headset on a cellphone, but knew there were other uses, just not what, really. | 01:58 |
| ubuntu_ | ?? How do I mount my hd using a live CD ?? | 01:58 |
| deathwire | is there some group my user needs to be in to detect when devices are plugged in? what is the program that should be running to check when the devices are plugged in? | 01:58 |
| deathwire | is there a way to downgrade to feisty? | 02:01 |
| deathwire | oh if I go to "media:/", everything is there | 02:05 |
| deathwire | so what's the name of the program that's supposed to pop-up when you plugin a device? | 02:05 |
| leo_rockw | deathwire: it's in the tip of my tongue, and I can't remember it!! | 02:06 |
| === queenofFrance is now known as billytwowilly | ||
| jhutchins | I don't think it's a seperate program, I think it's an internal KDE function. | 02:10 |
| leo_rockw | jhutchins: yeah, but it has a name | 02:11 |
| jhutchins | Ookay. | 02:11 |
| deathwire | is there a setting for it somewhere? | 02:11 |

| jmichaelx | i just downloaded the .tar.bz2 file for installing secondlife, but Ark is unable to unzip it. would anyone have an idea as to why? i am asking because i think this is more of an Ark issue than a seconflife issue. | 02:41 |
| jawee | jmichaelx: for now you can just do tar xfjv filename.tar.bz2 | 02:41 |
| jawee | I never use GUI tools for extracting larger files as it hangs a bit sometimes | 02:42 |
| jmichaelx | jawee: are there any known issue with Ark/ | 02:42 |
| jmichaelx | ? | 02:42 |
| jmichaelx | ok | 02:42 |
| jawee | jmichaelx: I'm not the person to ask, sorry. You can look on Launchpad though. | 02:42 |
| jmichaelx | jawee: ty | 02:42 |
| * Jucato remebers having no trouble bunzipping the SL client before | 02:42 | |
| leo_rockw | jmichaelx: sometimes i unpack with ark and i get and error saying it didn't work, but in fact it does | 02:42 |
| Jucato | but that was long ago... | 02:43 |
| jmichaelx | leo_rockw: it didn't even give me an error | 02:43 |
| leo_rockw | ooo, ok | 02:43 |
| jmichaelx | Jucato: with the previous secondlife client, i had no issues. | 02:43 |
| Jucato | hm... must be new. did tar -xjvf work? | 02:44 |
| jmichaelx | jucato: yes, ithas only been out a few days | 02:44 |
| jmichaelx | Jucato: yes, it is working | 02:44 |
| Jucato | weird | 02:45 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: I had the same problem initially. What I did was first load up the partition manager to find out what the hard drive was called | 02:47 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: then I loaded up a terminal and used "sudo mount -t filesystemtype /dev/hda2" | 02:48 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu\ | 02:48 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: filesystemtype would be something like ntfs if it's a Windows drive, or ext3 if it's Linux. And you have to mount it somewhere, so I created a folder with "mkdir" called hd1, then mounted it in there. just add the directory name to the end of the mount command | 02:49 |
| jmichaelx | weird that secondlife has no instructions for installing/upgrading except for the scant info inthe redme file | 02:49 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: my finished commands were like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58833/ | 02:51 |
| jmichaelx | to upgrade something like secondlife, that is not installed via apt-get, should one just delete the dir it was installed to, and then just install again? | 02:53 |
| leo_rockw | jmichaelx: yes, unless the file you got is an upgrade and not a full install | 02:53 |
| jmichaelx | leo_rockw: ty much, it is afullinstall | 02:54 |
| leo_rockw | jmichaelx: np | 02:54 |
| ubuntu_ | thanks stupendo44 | 02:58 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: did it work for you? | 02:59 |
| ubuntu_ | well, I typed "sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda2 ~/hd1" | 02:59 |
| ubuntu_ | and got command not found | 02:59 |
| stupendo44 | you didn't use the quotes, did you? | 02:59 |
| stupendo44 | you have to type it without the quotes | 02:59 |
| stupendo44 | also, it may not be hda2 | 03:00 |
| ubuntu_ | no quotes | 03:00 |
| stupendo44 | and did you create the "hda1" directory? | 03:00 |
| ubuntu_ | it says that device does not exist | 03:00 |
| stupendo44 | it may not be hda2 | 03:01 |
| stupendo44 | you have to find out first | 03:01 |
| stupendo44 | first, is it a Windows partition you are trying to access? | 03:01 |
| ubuntu_ | how do I do that? | 03:01 |
| ubuntu_ | sorry, I'm a noobie | 03:01 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: which IRC program are you using? | 03:02 |
| stupendo44 | let's talk in a PM for less noise | 03:02 |
| ubuntu_ | konversation | 03:02 |
| stupendo44 | ok | 03:02 |
| stupendo44 | you should see a tab on the bottom with "stupendo44" | 03:02 |
| Jucato | (he can't PM/reply if his nick is not registered) | 03:02 |
| leo_rockw | stupendo44: only if he has a registered nickname | 03:02 |
| stupendo44 | no way to PM unless he's registered? | 03:03 |
| ubuntu_ | yeah, it wont let me talk | 03:03 |
| stupendo44 | oh, well | 03:03 |
| Jucato | you can use the main channel. that's its purpose :) | 03:03 |
| ubuntu_ | sorry | 03:03 |
| stupendo44 | anyway | 03:03 |
| Jucato | second life discussion is offtopic anyway | 03:03 |
| stupendo44 | no prob | 03:03 |
| stupendo44 | first question, what kind of drive are you trying to access? Is it a Windows drive? | 03:03 |
| ubuntu_ | yes (for now) | 03:04 |
| leo_rockw | stupendo44: there's a way for him to talk to you. you have to allow getting non registered users' pm. i don't remember how, check freenode's site | 03:04 |
| ubuntu_ | I just want to grab data off of it so I can install linux | 03:04 |
| stupendo44 | leo_rockw: thanks | 03:04 |
| leo_rockw | stupendo44: np | 03:04 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: where are you going to put the data? | 03:05 |
| ubuntu_ | I have kopete | 03:05 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: but you | 03:05 |
| stupendo44 | you're running off a livecd right? | 03:05 |
| ubuntu_ | flash drive to another pc | 03:05 |
| stupendo44 | ok | 03:05 |
| ubuntu_ | yes | 03:05 |
| stupendo44 | and that mounts fine, right? | 03:05 |
| ubuntu_ | i guess I should ahve asked if flash drives work | 03:06 |
| stupendo44 | generally they work fine | 03:06 |
| stupendo44 | easiest things to get working, actually | 03:06 |
| ubuntu_ | ok cool | 03:06 |
| stupendo44 | ok, go to KMenu > System, and you should see KParted, I think | 03:07 |
| stupendo44 | load that up | 03:07 |
| stupendo44 | actually, it might be qtparted | 03:07 |
| stupendo44 | yeah | 03:08 |
| ubuntu_ | yep got it | 03:08 |
| stupendo44 | ok, on the left what do you see? | 03:08 |
| stupendo44 | /dev/hda? | 03:08 |
| ubuntu_ | sda | 03:09 |
| stupendo44 | ok | 03:09 |
| stupendo44 | no hda's? | 03:09 |
| stupendo44 | if you select sda, what shows up on the right side? | 03:09 |
| Jucato | I think starting gutsy, either Ubuntu or the kernel switched to using sda instead of hda for everything | 03:10 |
| ubuntu_ | my hd comes up | 03:10 |
| stupendo44 | ok, and how many different partitions are there? | 03:10 |
| stupendo44 | and which one says ntfs? | 03:11 |
| ubuntu_ | looks like 2 | 03:11 |
| stupendo44 | ok, tell me what they say | 03:11 |
| ubuntu_ | strange though | 03:11 |
| ubuntu_ | number 1: /dev/sda1 ntfs | 03:12 |
| ubuntu_ | number 2: /dev/sda1 free | 03:12 |
| stupendo44 | what's the size on each one? | 03:13 |
| ubuntu_ | #1 233.75 & #2 7.84 | 03:13 |
| stupendo44 | ok | 03:13 |
| stupendo44 | then go to a terminal | 03:14 |
| ubuntu_ | k | 03:14 |
| ubuntu_ | there | 03:14 |
| stupendo44 | don't type any of the quotes, just the command | 03:14 |
| ubuntu_ | ok | 03:14 |
| stupendo44 | type "cd ~" | 03:14 |
| stupendo44 | the tilde is to the left of the 1 | 03:14 |
| Daisuke-Ido | wait wait wait... /dev/sda1 is showing as ntfs *and* free? | 03:14 |
| ubuntu_ | gotcha | 03:15 |
| stupendo44 | Daisuke-Ido: thanks, I didn't notice that. Why would that be? | 03:15 |
| cuznt | checking for GCC version... ./configure: 2732: Syntax error: Bad substitution | 03:15 |
| cuznt | any idea? | 03:15 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: type "mkdir windows" | 03:15 |
| ubuntu_ | k | 03:15 |
| Daisuke-Ido | cuznt: try 'bash configure' | 03:15 |
| ubuntu_ | done | 03:16 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: type "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 ~/windows" | 03:16 |
| cuznt | thank you | 03:16 |
| Daisuke-Ido | cuznt: that worked? | 03:16 |
| stupendo44 | Daisuke-Ido: maybe it was a typo? | 03:16 |
| Daisuke-Ido | stupendo44: that's my guess | 03:17 |
| Daisuke-Ido | cuznt: what are you trying to compile? | 03:17 |
| Jucato | (or an error in the configure script) | 03:18 |
| stupendo44 | Daisuke-Ido: help me out here. Does he have to be root in order to copy files from the newly mounted partition, or can he just not write? | 03:18 |
| Daisuke-Ido | to copy *from*? he shouldn't have to be root, no | 03:18 |
| Jucato | depends on the permissions he used to mount though. specially if it's NTFS | 03:19 |
| stupendo44 | ok, I guess we'll find out | 03:19 |
| Jucato | iirc simply mounting an NTFS partition requires root to even read | 03:19 |
| cuznt | make[1]: Entering directory `/home/bewofthe/alsa-test-0.9.4/support'make[1]: Nothing to be done for `first_rule' | 03:19 |

| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: oh, sorry | 03:23 |
| ubuntu_ | :o) no prob | 03:24 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: so what happened | 03:24 |
| ubuntu_ | what do you mean? | 03:24 |
| stupendo44 | after the sudo mount command | 03:24 |
| ubuntu_ | oh crap | 03:24 |
| stupendo44 | were there any errors or anything | 03:24 |
| ubuntu_ | sorry I totally missed that line you typed | 03:25 |
| stupendo44 | :) | 03:25 |
| stupendo44 | that' | 03:25 |
| stupendo44 | that's all right | 03:25 |
| stupendo44 | just remember, don't type the quotes. It screws everything up | 03:25 |
| ubuntu_ | ok, nothing happend | 03:27 |
| stupendo44 | but no errors | 03:27 |
| ubuntu_ | it just dropps down to the prompt again | 03:27 |
| ubuntu_ | no | 03:27 |
| stupendo44 | no errors is good | 03:27 |

| * Daisuke-Ido grumbles | 03:27 | |
| nosrednaekim | Windows support is NOT here BTW guys | 03:28 |
| stupendo44 | ok, type "sudo konqueror ~/windows" | 03:28 |
| Daisuke-Ido | is it really so much to ask for both kde and gnome to adopt a single location for their trash? | 03:28 |
| ubuntu_ | wow | 03:28 |
| stupendo44 | Daisuke-Ido: don't they both store it on the ntfs partition? :) | 03:29 |
| ubuntu_ | allot of stuff | 03:29 |
| Daisuke-Ido | stupendo44: i'm being serious. | 03:29 |
| nosrednaekim | Daisuke-Ido: they can't agree | 03:29 |
| nosrednaekim | dumb.. I know | 03:29 |
| ubuntu_ | lots of errors | 03:29 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: that should probably allow you to copy anything you need to the flash drive. When you plug in your flash drive, an icon should appear on the desktop | 03:29 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: just remember that because this is a liveCD, you would have to go through these steps if you restart the computer | 03:30 |
| stupendo44 | Daisuke-Ido: I know, I'm sorry. I couldn't resist | 03:30 |
| ubuntu_ | lots of errors | 03:31 |
| ubuntu_ | permissions denied | 03:32 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: lemme guess, denied accessing Documents and Settings? | 03:32 |
| ubuntu_ | windows | 03:32 |
| ubuntu_ | cd windows | 03:32 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: right, you have to be root | 03:33 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: you could do "sudo su" | 03:33 |
| stupendo44 | then try accessing it | 03:33 |
| ubuntu_ | su | 03:34 |
| stupendo44 | but either way, you'll probably be more confortable using konqueror to copy the files | 03:34 |
| ubuntu_ | lol, oops.... wrong screen | 03:34 |
| ubuntu_ | your right | 03:34 |
| ubuntu_ | would you happen to know the password for root on the live cd? | 03:35 |
| stupendo44 | um, is there one? | 03:36 |
| stupendo44 | anybody else? | 03:36 |
| ubuntu_ | I hope so | 03:36 |
| stupendo44 | you can try ubuntu or kubuntu | 03:36 |
| ubuntu_ | k | 03:36 |
| stupendo44 | sometimes, it's just blank | 03:36 |
| nosrednaekim | ubuntu_: there is no password for root | 03:36 |
| stupendo44 | I'm not really sure | 03:36 |
| nosrednaekim | sudo has no password though | 03:36 |
| ubuntu_ | tried, blank, root and guest | 03:37 |
| nosrednaekim | so you can do "sudo passwd" | 03:37 |
| nosrednaekim | and enter a new passwrd or root | 03:37 |
| stupendo44 | nosrednaekim: thanks | 03:37 |
| ubuntu_ | cool, it worked | 03:38 |
| ubuntu_ | thanks | 03:38 |
| nosrednaekim | *password for root | 03:38 |
| nosrednaekim | ok... later guys | 03:38 |
| nosrednaekim | good luck | 03:38 |
| ubuntu_ | thanks | 03:38 |
| ubuntu_ | I wonder why I cant access the drive from KDE Konqueror | 03:39 |
| ubuntu_ | but I can in konsol | 03:39 |
| stupendo44 | what happens in konqueror | 03:41 |
| stupendo44 | you have to be root in order to access it | 03:41 |
| stupendo44 | some reason I don't, though | 03:41 |
| stupendo44 | it works fine for me, but then again, I'm not on a livecd | 03:41 |
| stupendo44 | so if you just try loading konqueror from the desktop, you'll get permission denied | 03:42 |
| ubuntu_ | actually now it shows up as mounted | 03:43 |
| leo_rockw | what about sudo konqueror ? | 03:43 |
| Jucato | please use kdesu, not sudo | 03:43 |
| leo_rockw | konqueror should work w/o being root, tho. even on a live cd | 03:43 |
| ubuntu_ | but gives me this... | 03:43 |
| ubuntu_ | Could not enter folder /home/ubuntu/windows | 03:43 |
| leo_rockw | yeah, Jucato, you're right | 03:43 |
| stupendo44 | Jucato: thanks. I was just about to recommend that | 03:44 |
| Jucato | stupendo44: perhaps you mounted your NTFS in fstab w/ the correct permissions/options | 03:44 |
| leo_rockw | i use kdesu myself, idk why i put sudo | 03:44 |
| Jucato | (or used ntfs-3g) | 03:44 |
| Jucato | leo_rockw: reflex action :P | 03:44 |
| leo_rockw | Jucato: most likely | 03:44 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: from the desktop, you can hit ALT + F2 and run "kdesu konqueror" | 03:44 |
| stupendo44 | Jucato: no, I followed the same steps I gave him | 03:45 |
| Jucato | weird | 03:45 |
| stupendo44 | I just added it to my fstab a second ago, but not until after I had tried what I told him | 03:45 |
| stupendo44 | unless he ran "mkdir" under "sudo" for some reason. would that make a difference? | 03:45 |
| leo_rockw | that would make a difference | 03:46 |
| stupendo44 | it doesn't seem to, I just tried it | 03:46 |
| stupendo44 | I can access just fine, even if I create the directory under sudo | 03:46 |
| leo_rockw | weird | 03:47 |
| jombee | anyone else have a problem with the latest alpha of hardy where the right mouse button doesn't work at all | 03:47 |
| stupendo44 | I wonder if the difference is that I'm not running off a livecd. I installed and created a password. granted, I'm not root though | 03:47 |
| ubuntu_ | sheesh | 03:48 |
| ubuntu_ | nothing | 03:48 |
| stupendo44 | where? console or konqueror? | 03:48 |
| ubuntu_ | konqueror | 03:49 |
| stupendo44 | how'd you load konqueror? using kdesu? | 03:49 |
| ubuntu_ | hey could it be that I have it open in konsole? | 03:49 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: I think it should still work | 03:50 |
| leo_rockw | no, that wouldn't be the problem | 03:50 |
| ubuntu_ | k | 03:50 |
| ubuntu_ | I opened konqueror through ALT+F2 and by clicking the computer next to the K-menu button | 03:51 |
| ubuntu_ | niether one will open the drive | 03:52 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: what happens when you try to access ~/windows through the console | 03:52 |
| Jucato | ubuntu_: he said use "kdesu konqueror" in Alt+F2 | 03:53 |
| stupendo44 | try using "sudo su" at the terminal and then "cd ~/windows" | 03:53 |
| stupendo44 | not generally a good idea, but it's just a test | 03:53 |
| ubuntu_ | its blank screen when I click on media | 03:54 |
| ubuntu_ | I am in windows in terminal | 03:54 |
| leo_rockw | if you're in windows in terminal try running konqueror . | 03:55 |
| leo_rockw | (notice the "." at the end) | 03:55 |
| ubuntu_ | but it gives me "no such fill or dir" error | 03:55 |
| ubuntu_ | thats what I have been trying to do | 03:55 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: try "cd ~/windows" | 03:56 |
| stupendo44 | notice the tilde | 03:56 |
| ubuntu_ | ok now the error is gone | 03:56 |
| ubuntu_ | when I clcik on the drive it gives me a blank screen as if the drive is empty | 03:57 |
| stupendo44 | which drive? where? | 03:58 |
| ubuntu_ | media:/sda1 through konqueror | 03:59 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: you won't be able to access it through there. only through "~/windows" or "/home/ubuntu/windows" (same thing) | 04:00 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: that's why we mounted it | 04:00 |
| ubuntu_ | sweet | 04:00 |
| Kubuntu_ | does anyone here have problems with kopete hanging on msn and on devices? | 04:00 |
| ubuntu_ | it just let me in | 04:00 |
| ubuntu_ | I'm looking at my windows files | 04:01 |
| ubuntu_ | too bad I cant burn a cd of my data | 04:02 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: you should be able to | 04:02 |
| ubuntu_ | having only one dvd drive | 04:02 |
| ubuntu_ | really? | 04:03 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: is it a burner? | 04:03 |
| ubuntu_ | yeah | 04:03 |
| ubuntu_ | could i make a virtual drive in memory? | 04:03 |
| stupendo44 | once you load the cd burning app (can't remember what it's called) you should be able to take the ubuntu cd out and put in a blank. I'm not 100% sure on this, but I'm pretty sure | 04:03 |
| ubuntu_ | hmmm | 04:04 |
| ubuntu_ | worth a shot | 04:04 |
| stupendo44 | k3b would be the app | 04:04 |

| bobleny | Hey, is there a way to boot into my ubuntu via a flash drive? | 04:04 |
| ubuntu_ | yes, I love that program | 04:04 |
| ubuntu_ | yes bob through your BIOS | 04:05 |
| ubuntu_ | if your flash drive is bootable | 04:05 |
| stupendo44 | bobleny: http://www.pendrivelinux.com | 04:05 |
| ubuntu_ | and your BIOS supports it | 04:05 |
| stupendo44 | ubuntu_: let me know if it works out. If you change your username and register it, you can PM me | 04:06 |
| bobleny | Thats not quite what i'm looking for.... I would like to boot into ubuntu, bypassing the bootloader. Is there a way to do that? | 04:08 |
| Kubuntu_ | how slow is pendrive linux | 04:08 |
| stupendo44 | Kubuntu_: faster than a cd, depending on the speed of your pendrive. some are slow, some are fast. usually based on cost | 04:09 |
| stupendo44 | bobleny: I don't understand, how can you bypass the bootloader. Isn't it required in order to know what to boot? | 04:10 |
| bobleny | I guess I wanto to fake a bootloader... I installed ubuntu without a bootloader and know I want to say, burn one onto a cd or something so I can load into ubuntu. | 04:12 |
| ubuntu_ | cool ok | 04:12 |
| stupendo44 | bobleny: well, I'm not sure exactly, but however you got it to start you can probably just copy right over to the pen drive. That's basically what the guide on pendrivelinux.com has you do. Maybe you can try to follow the guide most of the way, and modify it for your setup | 04:15 |
| Kubuntu_ | !hardy | 04:16 |
| ubotu | Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 04:16 |

| Kubuntu_ | how do you uninstall something from source | 04:19 |
| Kubuntu_ | !kernal | 04:21 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kernal - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:21 |
| Kubuntu_ | what exactly is a kernel | 04:21 |
| stupendo44 | !kernel | 04:22 |
| ubotu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages | 04:22 |
| Kubuntu_ | oh i spelled it wrong lol | 04:22 |
| Kubuntu_ | !headers | 04:22 |
| ubotu | To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages | 04:22 |

| klobster | how did you install kde? | 04:43 |
| moregreen | synaptic | 04:43 |
| moregreen | im on gutsy btw | 04:43 |
| klobster | i mean kde-desktop package? | 04:43 |
| moregreen | well i dont really know | 04:43 |
| moregreen | i had it workin | 04:43 |
| moregreen | today i tried and it stopped... | 04:44 |
| klobster | do you see the kde start up splash screen | 04:44 |
| klobster | ? | 04:44 |
| moregreen | no | 04:44 |
| moregreen | im thinking i should reinstall. how would i go about doing that | 04:45 |
| klobster | apt-get -remove kde-desktop && apt-get -install kde-desktop | 04:46 |
| klobster | but I am not sure that's a very "linux" way to solve the problem | 04:47 |
| moregreen | that && means "also do this line:" | 04:48 |
| moregreen | ? | 04:48 |
| moregreen | :P | 04:48 |
| klobster | yeah it does | 04:48 |
| moregreen | E: Command line option 'r' [from -remove] is not known. | 04:49 |
| moregreen | maybe try r? | 04:49 |
| moregreen | no... | 04:49 |
| klobster | doh! sorry no dash before remove or install | 04:50 |
| moregreen | yeah duh | 04:50 |
| moregreen | i just realized that | 04:50 |
| klobster | sorry, victim of syntax :/ | 04:50 |
| moregreen | its not the code, its the syntax | 04:50 |
| moregreen | :P | 04:51 |
| moregreen | ok im tryin to reinstall it but its not in any sources | 04:51 |
| moregreen | "kde-desktop | 04:51 |
| moregreen | so what aliases could it go by | 04:51 |
| leo_rockw | kubuntu-desktop | 04:52 |
| klobster | ^^ | 04:52 |
| moregreen | cool | 04:57 |
| moregreen | thanks guys | 04:57 |
| leo_rockw | moregreen: np | 04:57 |
| ForgeAus | leorock theres a minor issue you can't really use apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop because its a metapackage | 04:59 |
| ForgeAus | but I do recommend an apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 04:59 |
| ForgeAus | apt-get remove kubuntu desktop doesn't actually remove any apps just the kubuntu-desktop metapackage (which I guess you could essentially think of it as a wrapper) | 05:00 |
| ForgeAus | oops kubuntu-desktop | 05:00 |
| Jucato | !puregnome | 05:02 |
| ubotu | If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> | 05:02 |
| moregreen | nice | 05:03 |
| moregreen | so fresh and so clean clean | 05:03 |
| coreymon77 | !purekde | 05:03 |
| ubotu | purekde is If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 05:03 |
| ForgeAus | Jucato does the "pure" thing alter bootsplashes and DM's and stuff? (ie does an ubuntu install converted using kubuntu-desktop, then purified by removing ubuntu-desktop specific packages, show the same bootsplashes, and kdm as kubuntu? | 05:04 |
| Jucato | I think it removes kdm as well. not sure about usplash stuff | 05:05 |
| ForgeAus | ok well sofar I've only had kubuntu and added ubuntu-desktop to it | 05:05 |
| ForgeAus | so I still booted in KDM and stuff | 05:06 |
| ForgeAus | I don't think I've tried GDM and Ubuntu's bootsplash before | 05:06 |

| Jucato | !iso | Stoffer | 05:13 |
| ubotu | Stoffer: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 05:13 |

| moregreen | and before, i didnt see kubuntu all over | 05:31 |

| leo_rockw | moregreen: does alt+F2 work? | 05:36 |
| moregreen | what does that do | 05:36 |
| moregreen | im not on k now | 05:37 |
| leo_rockw | it's the "run command" menu | 05:37 |
| moregreen | ah | 05:37 |
| leo_rockw | if you can do that then you can run kicker | 05:37 |
| leo_rockw | kicker is the kde bar | 05:37 |
| moregreen | ah ok | 05:38 |
| moregreen | well, get this | 05:38 |
| moregreen | when i mouse over where the bar would be | 05:38 |
| moregreen | i get a hand | 05:38 |

| moregreen | when using K programs, like amarok....the play button and all the buttons are blank | 05:39 |

| cicero123 | hello room | 05:42 |
| moregreen | hey cicero | 05:42 |
| cicero123 | been using kubuntu for almost a month now. :) | 05:43 |
| moregreen | did you by any chance hear of an invisible kubuntu | 05:43 |
| moregreen | when you log in all you see is the blue desktop | 05:43 |
| moregreen | :P | 05:43 |
| moregreen | thats what i got | 05:43 |
| cicero123 | i am trying to put it on dell laptop, and i really goofed badly. i am used to mouses and not touchpads and need some help. in the middle of the install i cancelled and instead of restarting i hit the pad wrong and it quit. how do i restart the process without damaging the vista part of the disk? | 05:45 |
| klobster | moregreen: do you have another user account you can log into kde with? | 05:46 |
| moregreen | yes i should try that | 05:48 |
| cicero123 | does anyone know what i should do? | 05:50 |
| chowder | Does anyone know how to change the default resolution for OpenGL? | 05:53 |
| Livy_01 | hello | 05:53 |
| anniku989 | !dolphin | 05:56 |
| ubotu | Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. | 05:56 |
| chowder | i was playing the game Urban Terror, I changed the screen resolution and the game crashed. terminal output points to too high of a resolution. It set the default OpenGL resolution too high. i just need to find that file so i can edit the default resolution | 05:58 |
| chowder | can anyone help me? | 05:58 |
| nanothief | chowder: the file should be in your ~ folder, something like ~/.urban_terror, if the game works like most apps | 06:07 |
| nanothief | err nevermind | 06:07 |
| user5 | happyday | 06:12 |
| nanothief | when replying to messages with kmail, the html seems to be stripped. Is there a way to disable this? | 06:12 |
| leo_rockw | nanothief: don't send html | 06:14 |
| nanothief | leo_rockw: I don't want to send html, I want to reply to html | 06:14 |
| sfears | how do i refresh the desktop icons? | 06:14 |
| leo_rockw | nanothief: there should be a link on top of the email that says "allow html" or smth like that | 06:15 |
| sfears | i moved some files on the desktop in kde 3.. logged out and into kde 4.. all the files i moved off the desktop are still showing but unavailable | 06:15 |
| sfears | is there some kind of desktop cache? | 06:15 |
| nanothief | leo_rockw: yeah I see the html when viewing the email, but if I click "reply", it all disappears, and I cannot find an option to stop that | 06:16 |
| leo_rockw | nanothief: i'm not sure then... i just yell at the people that send me html. and i have an ascii ribbon campaign signature (http://www.asciiribbon.org/) | 06:17 |
| nanothief | leo_rockw: I have too many non-nerd friends to be able to do that :P | 06:19 |
| leo_rockw | nanothief: that's why i put that signature | 06:20 |
| sfears | how do i add widgets to the kde4 taskbar? i don't have any right click options | 06:27 |
| leo_rockw | sfears: drag and drop | 06:27 |
| sfears | i also don't have a k menu anymore | 06:27 |
| sfears | drag & drop doesn't seem to work.. the icons just disappear behind it | 06:27 |
| leo_rockw | sfears: it took me a while to figure it out too.... | 06:27 |
| leo_rockw | sfears: mmhh... now, that's not good | 06:27 |
| crxyem | ok, just did a dist-upgrade and lost my wireless connection, ipw2200, my router is wpa | 06:28 |
| leo_rockw | sfears: i'm on kde 3.5.9 now, so i can't give you any other solution | 06:29 |
| sfears | thanks anyway | 06:29 |
| cicero123 | sigh. afk for an hour. | 06:30 |
| ForgeAus | hmmm AndLinux leaves behind the XFCE packages (which isn't very much but its not professional) even if you get the KDE version | 06:41 |
| ForgeAus | and its odd how X passes through to Win32 as its display manager, running kwin is strange inside it | 06:41 |

| storbeck | CorporateMusk, How did you install it? | 08:06 |
| pushax | ailean what is a creative vision? is that a hdtv card or sound card? | 08:07 |
| CorporateMusk | storbeck: I downloaded the tar.gz from the website, and un packed it. I should've used aptitude or apt-get, but I wasn't thinking at the time | 08:07 |
| CorporateMusk | storbeck: thunderbird is working fine, I just have to type the full path to launch it, and I'm lazy | 08:08 |
| storbeck | Did you make install? | 08:08 |
| storbeck | ie. sudo make install | 08:08 |
| CorporateMusk | storbeck: no, just unpacked it and ran it | 08:08 |
| storbeck | Ah, is it just one file? | 08:09 |
| noaXess_kubuntu | enwe: just tried that before.. no change :( | 08:09 |
| noaXess_kubuntu | come back later | 08:09 |
| storbeck | CorporateMusk, You can put it in /usr/bin but make sure it still can find the other files/folders | 08:09 |
| ailean | pushax, mp4 player | 08:09 |
| CorporateMusk | storbeck: It's a directory full of stuff, if I invoke the file 'thunderbird' in that directory thunderbird starts | 08:09 |
| pushax | ailean: are the zen player | 08:10 |
| storbeck | You could make a link to /usr/bin | 08:10 |
| CorporateMusk | storbeck: can I just create a sym link in /usr/bin | 08:10 |
| prince_jammys | move it to /usr/local | 08:10 |
| storbeck | Yes | 08:10 |
| prince_jammys | better to separate manually installed stuff from the rest | 08:10 |
| pushax | ailean I hear you need to seek out the lib to make it read first. have you got it reading th ememory and up and downign songs? | 08:10 |
| CorporateMusk | prince_jammys: It's in /usr/local/thunderbird/ | 08:10 |
| pushax | ailean: and vids | 08:11 |
| prince_jammys | oh, then you can add /usr/local to your path | 08:11 |
| ailean | pushax, ah i got it! | 08:11 |
| ailean | thanks :) | 08:11 |
| prince_jammys | so you can just type "thunderbird" | 08:11 |
| CorporateMusk | prince_jammys: how do I add it to my path? | 08:11 |
| prince_jammys | lemme see | 08:11 |
| pushax | has anyone worked out how to get java working on firefox 3? | 08:13 |
| storbeck | I still vote to just make a sym link to /usr/bin | 08:13 |
| prince_jammys | sym link is fine, but you'll have to do it over every time you install something like this | 08:14 |
| CorporateMusk | storbeck: I will add the sym link for now, but I am curious how to add things to my path | 08:15 |
| prince_jammys | it's easy as hell, i just can't remember | 08:15 |
| prince_jammys | i thought /usr/local was in your path by default | 08:16 |
| nanothief | CorporateMusk: in your ~/.bashrc file, put something like export PATH="$PATH:/my/new/path/" | 08:16 |
| nanothief | and /usr/local shouldn't be in your path, I don't think | 08:16 |
| prince_jammys | i guess i added it a long time ago | 08:17 |
| CorporateMusk | nanothief: why not? | 08:17 |
| pushax | has anyone worked out how to get java working on firefox 3? | 08:17 |
| nanothief | CorporateMusk: well there shouldn't be any executable files in there (they would be in /usr/local/bin) | 08:17 |
| nanothief | so there isn't need | 08:18 |
| prince_jammys | ::: /home/tantalus/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games | 08:18 |
| nanothief | *isn't any need | 08:18 |
| prince_jammys | yeah /usr/local/bin | 08:18 |
| prince_jammys | is there a bin subdir in your thunderbird? | 08:18 |
| prince_jammys | better yet, why not apt-get install? you can save your settings, and then get updates, etc | 08:19 |
| CorporateMusk | prince_jammys: I could apt-get install, but I don't want to download the whole thing again, I'm on a limited GPRS connection | 08:20 |
| prince_jammys | ah | 08:20 |
| CorporateMusk | nanothief: so I should move my thunderbird executable to /usr/local/bin | 08:20 |
| CorporateMusk | nanothief: should I move the whole thunderbird dir, or just the executable? | 08:20 |
| prince_jammys | ahem symlink is looking good now | 08:21 |
| nanothief | CorporateMusk: that should have been done for you, I don't know what went wrong | 08:21 |
| nanothief | did you do sudo make install? | 08:21 |
| CorporateMusk | nanothief: no, I downloaded it, unpacked it, and ran it | 08:21 |
| CorporateMusk | I know, not the right way | 08:21 |
| nanothief | oh right | 08:21 |
| nanothief | well I'm not sure if it will work if you move the executable | 08:22 |
| nanothief | you could do what prince_jammys suggested (ln -s ...) | 08:22 |
| prince_jammys | right, it may expect files to be in the same dir | 08:22 |
| CorporateMusk | is there any reason I shouldn't sym link? | 08:22 |
| prince_jammys | nah that was storbeck, i introduced the path confusion | 08:23 |
| prince_jammys | no | 08:23 |
| prince_jammys | symlink it up | 08:23 |
| prince_jammys | and sorry | 08:23 |
| CorporateMusk | then storbeck has the short and sweet | 08:23 |
| CorporateMusk | maybe I'm looking for the difficult, hence why I didn't use aptitude | 08:23 |
| prince_jammys | i personally can't stand it when some dweeb introduces a new faulty "solution", just like i did :P | 08:24 |
| nanothief | prince_jammys: well it would have worked anyway :D | 08:24 |
| prince_jammys | maybe not | 08:24 |
| CorporateMusk | I was originally looking for how to add things to the path, but now I think that might not be a good idea | 08:25 |
| prince_jammys | depends on where it expects to find the files | 08:25 |
| CorporateMusk | putting things in the right place sounds better | 08:25 |
| nanothief | nah you should try to keep you path as small as possible | 08:25 |
| prince_jammys | i misread and thought you were COPYING to /usr/bin | 08:25 |
| prince_jammys | not linking | 08:25 |
| nanothief | hmm | 08:25 |
| nanothief | I don't think it would make a difference though, copying as compared to symlink | 08:26 |
| prince_jammys | could make a mess if he ever installs through apt | 08:26 |
| nanothief | ya | 08:26 |
| nanothief | I find that I avoid installing anything without using apt, as it makes everything so much easier | 08:27 |
| nanothief | anyway... does anyone know a way to get kmail to store mail messages from imap servers for offline usage? | 08:28 |
| prince_jammys | i store them locally | 08:28 |
| prince_jammys | but i didn't configure anything that i recall | 08:28 |
| prince_jammys | you mean grab ALL messages? | 08:28 |
| storbeck | nanothief, If he copied it, he would have to copy all the folder contents, which isn't a good practice | 08:29 |
| storbeck | Which is why I suggested to symlink it | 08:29 |
| nanothief | no, I don't want to move files to local inbox, so that on my gmail account, the mail is sorted as well | 08:29 |
| nanothief | storbeck: oh I didn't realize he had to copy te folder contents | 08:30 |
| prince_jammys | it was indeed the simplest solution | 08:31 |
| nanothief | well the simplest solution was sudo apt-get install thunderbird :P | 08:31 |
| storbeck | Didn't your teachers every introduce the KISS method? :P | 08:31 |
| prince_jammys | heh | 08:32 |
| prince_jammys | i thought it was KISS until the problem started unravelling | 08:32 |
| storbeck | w00t! Full Metal Alchemist is on | 08:32 |
| prince_jammys | symlink is best | 08:32 |
| storbeck | I finally figured out why my keys were sticking :D | 08:33 |
| storbeck | There was a small pebble inside my keyboard | 08:34 |
| cicero123 | reHello room. | 08:35 |
| cicero123 | i need help with a laptop that got interupted installing kubuntu | 08:35 |
| storbeck | Hi, cicero123 | 08:35 |
| cicero123 | hey storbeck | 08:35 |
| nanothief | cicero123: so you just can't restart the installation? | 08:36 |
| cicero123 | no, it is frozen | 08:36 |
| CorporateMusk | gotta love flaky gprs connections | 08:36 |
| storbeck | ? | 08:36 |
| cicero123 | i am afraid to restart it. it was partitioning the disk (1/2 vista, 1/2 kubuntu | 08:36 |
| storbeck | eek | 08:37 |
| nanothief | cicero123: did you have anything important on the disk before you started? | 08:37 |
| cicero123 | the intstaller is frozen but the kubuntu that is running from the disk is working | 08:37 |
| cicero123 | yes. | 08:37 |
| CorporateMusk | thanks storbeck, prince_jammys, and nanothief | 08:37 |
| storbeck | You're welcome, CorporateMusk | 08:37 |
| nanothief | CorporateMusk: np | 08:37 |
| prince_jammys | my pleasure | 08:37 |
| prince_jammys | :) | 08:37 |
| nanothief | cicero123: what do you mean by interupted? | 08:38 |
| storbeck | cicero123, You may have to reinstall everything. =/ | 08:38 |
| cicero123 | i was frustrated and hit the cancel key (i am not used to laptop cursor pads) and started tapping on the dumb thing, and cancelled the install | 08:38 |
| prince_jammys | ouchy | 08:39 |
| cicero123 | i didnt mean to hit it, i was trying to move the mouse over. | 08:39 |
| storbeck | You canceled it in the middle of partitioning? | 08:39 |
| cicero123 | the cursor over | 08:39 |
| === wyf__ is now known as wyf | ||
| === wyf is now known as wyfdhu | ||
| cicero123 | now i cant get it to go back to partitioning | 08:39 |
| cicero123 | and i am afraid to touch anything else | 08:39 |
| storbeck | cicero123, Try closing the installer and start it back up | 08:40 |
| prince_jammys | you're currently on the live cd right now? | 08:40 |
| prince_jammys | redundancy ahem | 08:40 |
| cicero123 | k. started the install and the cursor that is the dots chasing themselves in a ciricle is going | 08:42 |
| jani | hi | 08:42 |
| storbeck | LOL @ curser that is the dots chasing themselves | 08:43 |
| VilleVicious | I installed Kubuntu today and the only problem I've had is with my monitor: it has optimal resolution of (1680x1050) and I can select it from system settings> Monitor & display but it leaves black bars on the sides of my screen | 08:43 |
| cicero123 | the installer wont turn off, though. it just blanks out white in the background though. | 08:43 |
| wyfdhu | how to use gcc? | 08:43 |
| jani | i am about to buy a new computer, but do not understand any of those cryptic mobileprocessor cpu names... what is a good mobileprocessor nowadays? is amd tk or tl serie beter? is intel core duo better than amd series? | 08:44 |
| storbeck | wyfdhu, gcc source.c -o program.exe | 08:44 |
| wyfdhu | can it debug c++? | 08:44 |
| nanothief | VilleVicious: I would recommend downloading the nvidia or ati drivers (the same as your graphics card), and seeing if they fix it | 08:45 |
| nanothief | wyfdhu: no you use gdb for that | 08:45 |
| storbeck | wyfdhu, Read the man pages. | 08:45 |
| storbeck | There's a whole section on debugging options | 08:45 |
| wyfdhu | oh~ got it~~thank u | 08:46 |
| nanothief | jani: for the most part, higher cost --> better chip | 08:47 |
| mornfall | Ei. | 08:48 |
| mornfall | Hm. Wrong channel. | 08:48 |
| cicero123 | it is hard to describe. there is the window labelld "install" that is all white and larger in the background, and there is a small blue window labelled "installing system" that is blank in the inside also. when the cursor is on the little blue window it is an arrow. when the cursor is on the white window it is "busy (rotating dots in a circle). nothing else is happenning | 08:48 |
| cicero123 | i really goofed, didnt i? | 08:49 |
| storbeck | Just try restarting into the livecd | 08:50 |
| cicero123 | like reinsert the cd? | 08:51 |
| storbeck | You took the livecd out? | 08:51 |
| cicero123 | no, it wont eject | 08:52 |
| storbeck | Well, just leave it in and restart | 08:52 |
| cicero123 | like reboot | 08:52 |
| cicero123 | k. | 08:52 |
| cicero123 | it showed a text screen that read, KDM not running. it gave an angry beep, and now the black kubuntu splash screen is on with instructions to remove the disk | 08:55 |
| cicero123 | and press enter to continue. shall i leave the disk in or out? | 08:56 |
| storbeck | o.O; Did it boot from CD or the HD? | 08:57 |
| cicero123 | it booted from the cd, but i shut it off. and that is when i got the kdm message and the instruction to restart the computer without the disk. | 08:58 |
| cicero123 | during the shutdown phase | 08:58 |
| cicero123 | the computer is now off and the cd tray is open | 08:59 |
| cicero123 | should i restart with the livecd? | 09:00 |
| storbeck | Wait, let me see if I'm following. You rebooted - after it started back up, you got that error message - it popped out the CD - and you turned it off again? | 09:00 |
| storbeck | Or did it give you that message while it was shutting off the first time? | 09:00 |
| === ubuntu__ is now known as ubuntu__898 | ||
| ubuntu__898 | 986 | 09:01 |
| cicero123 | i defragged the hd on the laptop that had vista on a dell laptop. i ran kubuntu from the livecd and started partitioning. i tried to move the cursor as it was partitioning the disk and instead it asked if i wanted to cancel. i tried to move the cursor away but instead in my frustration hit the pad with my finger and it i shut down the process. the installer gui than froze in the background but the rest of the live cd still worked. | 09:02 |
| storbeck | Yes, I've got all that but I'm talking about if you got the error message after you rebooted and it started back up, or while it was rebooting in the shut down process | 09:03 |
| cicero123 | i then tried to restart the installer from the live cd and got only a "busy" cursor and a smaller box that was also blank labelled "installing system". when i turned off the computer as kubuntu was giong thru the shutdown process a text screen appeared as the background and one of the lines read, "KDM not working" and it beeped. the black spash screen with the blue kubuntu logo and the process bar that runs backwards showed up with | 09:04 |
| cicero123 | instruction to remove the cd and press enter. | 09:04 |
| cicero123 | sorry. i got it during the shutdown process. | 09:05 |
| cicero123 | i havent restarted the computer yet. | 09:05 |
| storbeck | Ah okay, yes just restarted with the CD in. (Start the whole process over from scratch) | 09:05 |
| cicero123 | k. | 09:06 |
| storbeck | Hopefully the partitions weren't messed up too bad and it will be recoverable | 09:06 |
| noiseidea | hello, does anyone know a way to make Kubuntu's Konsole to copy text to clipboard once you highlight it? Like Putty etc. | 09:06 |
| storbeck | noiseidea, It does | 09:06 |
| storbeck | Use the 3rd mouse button. | 09:06 |
| cicero123 | k. i got the live cd decision screen with all the options | 09:07 |
| storbeck | Just choose install | 09:07 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: k | 09:07 |
| noiseidea | storbeck: that's the trick, I don't want to push any buttons, I want Konsole to copy it automatically. | 09:09 |
| noiseidea | like Putty | 09:09 |
| storbeck | noiseidea, It does. I mean use the 3rd mouse button to paste it. | 09:09 |
| noiseidea | aah | 09:09 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: it is loading. got some sort of microcode error like 750000 and then it wen blank | 09:09 |
| storbeck | cicero123, Eek | 09:10 |
| cicero123 | now i got lighter blue loading screen | 09:10 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: now the kde livecd desktop is loaded. | 09:11 |
| storbeck | w00t! | 09:11 |
| VilleVicious | I went and installed installed new drivers using system settings>restricted drivers, now the black bars are gone but the best reoslution available is 1280x1024 | 09:11 |
| cicero123 | i am plugging a spare mouse into the back port so i dont make any more stupid mistakes with the laptop mousepad | 09:11 |
| Dorwin6 | hi guys : can anyone tell me how to install codec to play avi with kaffeine | 09:11 |
| storbeck | Hehe, good idea cicero123 | 09:12 |
| noiseidea | storbeck: but if I want to paste it to let's say Google, the 3rd button doesn't work there | 09:12 |
| Dorwin6 | i cant seem to play avi files | 09:12 |
| storbeck | Dorwin6, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 09:12 |
| Dorwin6 | thanks storbeck | 09:15 |
| storbeck | np | 09:15 |
| VilleVicious | any ideas how to get good resolution without the black bars on the side | 09:15 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: doh. i need a usb mouse. oh well. the live cd part is working, and it is on as ubunut_ | 09:15 |
| cicero123 | *ubuntu_ | 09:15 |
| storbeck | cicero123, Awesome :D Try and see if it can still repartition and keep your vista intact | 09:16 |
| Dorwin6 | cicero123 : of course live cd will always allowed u to work, are you planning to install it ? :) | 09:16 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: yes | 09:16 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: re-run the install>? | 09:16 |
| storbeck | Yes | 09:16 |
| cicero123 | k | 09:16 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: i went to the manual partition part and have 5 partitions listed, sda 1-5. one is fat 16, one is ntfs, one is ext3 one is swap and the last is fat 32 | 09:19 |
| pushax | has anyone got java working in firefox3 ? I've looked and tried many said solutions but none work. | 09:19 |
| storbeck | cicero123, You shouldn't have to manually partition it | 09:22 |
| pushax | This is ridiculous a said professional OS and Java wont work in browsers. Now I'm in Alpha 5 Hardy but still, this should not be an issue. The problem is it seems no one is addressing the interface of java to Firefox3. | 09:22 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: right, but if i let it run automatically it will further partition the hard disk. | 09:23 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: or is that an incorrect assumption? | 09:24 |
| storbeck | Ah, so it installed linux partitions? | 09:24 |
| Dorwin6 | storbeck : i installed the updates, however, still have not be able to see the movie | 09:24 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: it looks like the partitions installed. but i dont think the os did. | 09:24 |
| storbeck | Yes, if it was still in the partitioning section, it wouldn't have installed anything | 09:25 |
| storbeck | Just delete all the linux partitions and then partition it manually :) | 09:25 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: delete ext3 and swap? | 09:26 |
| warren_ | hi | 09:27 |
| storbeck | Yes | 09:27 |
| warren_ | can someone give me a kde program to convert an avi to dvd easily? | 09:27 |
| storbeck | warren_, Convert avi to dvd? | 09:27 |
| warren_ | yes | 09:28 |
| warren_ | my dvd can't read avi and divx | 09:28 |
| Dorwin6 | warren_ : are u able to play avi ? | 09:28 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: k it they are now listed as one file "freespace" | 09:28 |
| Dorwin6 | I have this issue aswell, cant play avi | 09:29 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: shall i go back and let it partion automatically now? | 09:29 |
| storbeck | cicero123, Do you know how to partition for linux? | 09:29 |
| warren_ | no | 09:29 |
| warren_ | i mean on my home dvd player (on tv) | 09:29 |
| storbeck | warren_, DeVeDe | 09:29 |
| cicero123 | no, the last time i was into computers fat32 was the latest thing | 09:30 |
| warren_ | but i would like to use a kde program | 09:30 |
| storbeck | How many GBs do you have to work with? | 09:30 |
| swatto | morning all | 09:30 |
| cicero123 | it is an 80 gig hd but vista is hogging 56 g | 09:31 |
| Dorwin6 | warren_ : try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 09:31 |
| storbeck | Ok, you could do this then. This is what I use | 09:31 |
| storbeck | Root / (10GB) Home /home (10GB) Swap swap (1GB) | 09:32 |
| cicero123 | the partitioner wants 1 gig for a swap file and 23 gigs for ext3 | 09:32 |
| storbeck | But you can do it however you like | 09:32 |
| cicero123 | k. | 09:32 |
| ubuntu__ | Quick question: How do I deleted a linux-swap partition? It will not give me the option to do so. | 09:33 |
| cicero123 | i think i will follow the partitioners recommend for 23 gigs | 09:33 |
| ubuntu__ | Doing this from the the live disk fyi. | 09:33 |
| storbeck | It wants 23 because that's how much you have left on your HDD. :] You're welcome to use it | 09:33 |

| Harley_V | So... | 09:34 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: the family that uses the laptop will eventually be migrating to kubuntu full time so i want up to half. there will be three user accounts. | 09:34 |
| noaXess | hi all.. | 09:34 |
| Harley_V | Hi | 09:34 |
| storbeck | You should have plenty of room :) | 09:34 |
| Harley_V | Anyone mind helping me with my issue? | 09:35 |
| noaXess | i get QSettings: failed to open file '/etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc' if i run any qt app.. any idea? the file exists.. | 09:35 |
| storbeck | ubuntu_, Is the drive mounted? | 09:35 |
| Harley_V | Yes, but I can't unmount it currently | 09:35 |
| Harley_V | in QTparted it won't let me "unmount" | 09:35 |
| ^V^ | noaXess: do you have read access to that file? | 09:36 |
| ^V^ | can you view it ina text editor? | 09:36 |
| noaXess | hm.. | 09:36 |
| storbeck | Harley_V, Are you in the LiveCD? | 09:36 |
| Harley_V | Yes | 09:36 |
| noaXess | can't read it.. ok.. then i need to have read right to it.. correct? | 09:37 |
| Harley_V | I've tried going into sudo and still nothing useful happens. | 09:37 |
| storbeck | The LiveCD uses the Swap. Download gparted from the website (it's an iso) burn it to a cd | 09:37 |
| storbeck | Then delete the swap | 09:37 |
| ^V^ | noaXess: hmmm | 09:37 |
| ^V^ | noaXess: what apps are you trying to run? | 09:37 |
| Harley_V | I can't make fdisk work? | 09:37 |
| storbeck | The LiveCD uses the swap so you won't be able to delete it. | 09:38 |
| noaXess | ^V^: why do you have a nicknam like this.. :).. | 09:38 |
| ^V^ | noaXess: Why not? | 09:38 |
| Harley_V | but I CREATED the swap disk a minute ago | 09:38 |
| === fideas__ is now known as fideas | ||
| noaXess | ^V^: i run eg gconf-editor | 09:38 |
| Harley_V | How about I run through my full issue. | 09:39 |
| noaXess | now i set chmod +r to the file.. before it was rw-rw---- 1 root root and now it is rw-rw-r-- 1 root root.. all other files in /etc/qt3 has rw-rw-r-- 1 root root | 09:39 |
| Harley_V | I created a swap partition of 2gigs and an ex3 partition of 38gigs and installed kubuntu to it respectfully. | 09:39 |
| Harley_V | Unfortunately, Kubuntu will not boot, only the Windows MBR is working | 09:40 |
| Harley_V | and, even more unfortunately, the windows will no longer boot either-it's missing a file now | 09:40 |
| Harley_V | So I'm stuck on this live disk until I figure out how to solve my problems. | 09:40 |
| noaXess | Harley_V: a tipp. install only kubuntu to the whole hd.. then install virtualbox.org and install a virutal windows.. i do that and it works.. also with external hd's, usb, and and and | 09:41 |
| storbeck | Harley_V, Did you make a /boot ? | 09:41 |
| Harley_V | Not an option, noaxxess | 09:41 |
| Harley_V | and no, stor | 09:41 |
| Harley_V | I mounted it to / | 09:41 |
| storbeck | o.O Why? | 09:41 |
| Harley_V | because I didn't have space for a boot partition | 09:42 |
| Harley_V | I had too many partitions to introduce a boot | 09:42 |
| Harley_V | already on that HDD* | 09:42 |
| Harley_V | So, basically, I'm just trying to get rid of this swap for now and then start new | 09:43 |
| storbeck | Just resize it, no need to delete it | 09:43 |
| Harley_V | I can't do ANYTHING with the swap | 09:43 |
| Harley_V | Everything is greyed out | 09:43 |
| Harley_V | Minus the "property" window | 09:44 |
| ^V^ | noaXess: did chmod'ing the file help? | 09:45 |
| storbeck | Harley_V, Try using gparted | 09:45 |
| noaXess | ^V^: jep .. it was only the png file for the compiz cube plugin.. | 09:45 |
| Harley_V | Good news: swap drive deleted using the instlaler | 09:46 |
| Harley_V | :P | 09:46 |
| storbeck | What was the problem? | 09:46 |
| Harley_V | Now...to fix my windows AS WELL AS somehow install Kubuntu | 09:46 |
| Harley_V | It wouldn't let me delete the swap drive in QTparted | 09:46 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: sorry. i am pretty slow. i get the error mp rppt fo;e suste, os defined. please correct this from the partitioning menu | 09:46 |
| Harley_V | so I used the installer to delete it | 09:46 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: * no root file system is defined. Please correct theis from the partitioning menu | 09:47 |
| storbeck | cicero123, Did you make a / partition ? | 09:47 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: ic. i just did | 09:48 |
| cicero123 | i have a warning: file system doesnt have expected sizes for windows to like it. cluster size is 2k (1k is expected); number of clusters is 24026 (47959) expected);; the size of FATs is 94 sectors (1.88 is expected). | 09:50 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: maybe i had better undo the changes and go back to automatic | 09:51 |
| storbeck | As long as you deleted the old partitions, you'll be just fine with automatic :] | 09:51 |
| cicero123 | k. | 09:52 |
| storbeck | I'm glad that your windows partitions are still there :] everything seems to have worked out | 09:55 |

| cicero123 | storbeck: i did have a question about user accounts. i am the only one that uses this computer so i am my user account. with this laptop that three people share (a mom and 2 kids), should i have the first login name as the mom or should i set up four acounts with one being an admin thing for the mom to use when she needs to tweak the system. | 10:03 |
| Harley_V | What spot should I put grub in? | 10:04 |
| cpk1_ | cicero123: you dont need an "admin" account, the user specified during install gets put in sudoers which effectively makes it an admin | 10:04 |
| cpk1_ | only when using sudo though | 10:05 |
| === cpk1_ is now known as cpk1 | ||
| storbeck | If the mom is going to be the main user/admin I'd set hers up during the install | 10:05 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: keen. thanx | 10:06 |
| storbeck | (cpk1 is 100% right ;]) | 10:06 |
| Harley_V | ERm | 10:06 |
| Harley_V | I need some assistance on Grub | 10:06 |
| Harley_V | Last time I shoved GRUB into (hd0) it didn't load, but then again I didn't have a boot partition | 10:07 |
| cpk1 | cicero123: later on if you want someone else to also have power just put that user in the sudoer group and then they can do anything root can when they use sudo | 10:07 |
| cicero123 | k. | 10:08 |
| cpk1 | first linux install cicero123? | 10:09 |
| cicero123 | cpk1: first for a laptop with a vista partition. i have used linux for about a month on my desktop with another disk running win2k | 10:10 |
| cicero123 | the laptop is for a friend who liked the concept of ubuntu/edubuntu. i told her i would put it on her laptop, and i am on needles and pins not wanting to make a mistake. | 10:11 |
| cpk1 | well thankfully ubuntu seems to be easy than windows in my opinion | 10:12 |
| cpk1 | should go smoothly as long as windows was installed first | 10:12 |
| cicero123 | cpk1: i think she will really like it. i am using the kubuntu disk, and dl the edubuntu packages she wants to use | 10:12 |
| cicero123 | i accidentlally stopped the install during partitioning. :( | 10:13 |
| cicero123 | storbeck has been very kind in helping me | 10:14 |
| storbeck | cicero123, What wireless card is it? | 10:14 |
| storbeck | You might need to manually install the drivers. | 10:15 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: i am not sure which wireless card. i can look it up in a bit. i got a ready to install screen but insteadof installing in partions #3 (ext3) and #4 (swap) it wants to make partition #7 ext3 and #8 as swap. is that to be expected? | 10:17 |
| storbeck | eek. I don't think you deleted the old partitions | 10:17 |
| cpk1 | if you have 6 other partitions i suppose it is | 10:18 |
| storbeck | You should be alright though | 10:18 |
| cpk1 | cicero123: did you write the changes to disk when you deleted the partitions | 10:18 |
| cicero123 | cpk1: :( i guess not. | 10:18 |
| cicero123 | cpk1: i thought so. | 10:19 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: can i erase the duplicated partions later? | 10:19 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: and add them to the ext3 space? | 10:20 |
| storbeck | Yes | 10:20 |
| cpk1 | might as well just do it now | 10:21 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: participate in the package usage survey? that helps them figure out what hardware and software is bein used? | 10:21 |
| cpk1 | if you havent even formatted to ext3 | 10:21 |
| storbeck | cicero123, It's up to you | 10:22 |
| cicero123 | if it helps. yes | 10:22 |
| cicero123 | cpk1: how do i delete the duplicate particitons? | 10:22 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: she likes to participate in stuff like that | 10:22 |
| cicero123 | *partitions | 10:23 |
| cpk1 | I use fdisk, which is a command line tool | 10:23 |
| cpk1 | it would be "fdisk /dev/hda" if hda was where the hard drive is | 10:23 |
| cpk1 | and then "p" would print out your partition table | 10:24 |
| cicero123 | cpk1: i dont want to loose vista | 10:24 |
| cpk1 | d deletes | 10:24 |
| cpk1 | so dont delete any partition that is non ext3 | 10:24 |
| etfb | Having a problem with Firefox: the button on the Downloads window, that's supposed to open the folder that all downloads are put into, doesn't do anything. Any ideas? | 10:25 |
| cpk1 | once you have told it to delete the partitions you tell it to write this to the partition table with "w" | 10:26 |
| storbeck | etfb, You might get better luck in #firefox | 10:26 |
| etfb | storbeck: Cool; thanks. Byeeeee! | 10:26 |
| storbeck | cicero123, You can also use gparted | 10:27 |
| storbeck | It's a bit more noob friendly. :P | 10:27 |
| cpk1 | I forgot the gui partitioners =P and I always have had problems using them with sata | 10:27 |
| storbeck | (You're going to need to apt-get gparted) | 10:29 |
| cpk1 | or qtparted since this is the kubuntu channel =) | 10:30 |
| storbeck | Hehe, I suppose so | 10:30 |
| etfb | storbeck: Looks like #firefox is dead. Anyone here using Firefox with the "Save files to..." option set? Can you do an experiment for me? | 10:31 |
| mauricio | hi list | 10:31 |
| mauricio | today i install ubuntu | 10:32 |
| storbeck | What is the experiment? :P | 10:32 |
| cpk1 | the button doesnt do anything for me either | 10:32 |
| cpk1 | doesnt seem like too big of a deal anyways | 10:33 |
| etfb | storbeck: Open the downloads window and click the button at the bottom. If it does nothing, you have the same bug I have. | 10:34 |
| mauricio | someone could say me how can i set Adep to install the new modules in my /opt partition? | 10:34 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: i wrote gparted down to get. :) thanx | 10:34 |
| cpk1 | etfb: seems like it would be more of a firefox problem not a kubuntu problem | 10:34 |
| cicero123 | i see what it did. partition #7 and #8 have replaced partitions #3 and #4 so they arent duplicated | 10:35 |
| storbeck | Nope, doesn't do anything. | 10:35 |
| storbeck | You might want to write a report to firefox :P | 10:35 |
| etfb | cpk1: I think it's actually a KDE-specific issue related to Firefox assuming the existence of Nautilus under Linux. Because KDE uses Konq instead, it's silently failing. That's my guess | 10:35 |
| storbeck | etfb, I'm on Fluxbox | 10:36 |
| etfb | I was just hoping other KDE users might have debugged it and found an explanation. | 10:36 |
| etfb | storbeck: Does fluxbox use KDE? | 10:36 |
| storbeck | No | 10:36 |
| cicero123 | afk | 10:36 |
| etfb | storbeck: What's the standard file manager? | 10:36 |
| cpk1 | if I browse my directories I either use konq or terminal | 10:36 |
| storbeck | there is no "standard" file manager, but I use Rox | 10:36 |
| storbeck | (although I rarely use it) | 10:37 |
| etfb | storbeck: Could still be the same issue then. They test Firefox in Gnome, and it works, so they think it's fine. | 10:37 |
| etfb | Maybe I should try installing Nautilus (or whatever the Gnome one is) and see if it magically works... | 10:37 |
| storbeck | Well yes it's the same issue, but I don't think it's a KDE problem. It's a firefox problem | 10:37 |
| storbeck | In all my years of using Firefox, I've never used that feature anyway so I'm not too worried | 10:38 |
| etfb | I just tried it on my wife's computer (she uses Ubuntu, I use Kubuntu and our daughter uses Xubuntu) and it works for her. | 10:39 |
| pauloeloy | :D | 10:39 |
| pauloeloy | /say $whois $me | 10:39 |
| etfb | So yes, it's a FF problem. But the good thing about FF is that you can usually override the defaults, which is why I'm asking among the KDE users first. Next trick is to check the FF bugzilla... | 10:39 |

| Harley_ | <Harley_> Whenever I try and mount ANY Partition I get this error: hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 99 | 10:46 |
| storbeck | cicero123, Is it connected to the internet? | 10:47 |
| Harley_ | So nobody knows the answer? | 10:47 |
| cicero123 | i have a dsl router and i plugged it in with a cable | 10:47 |
| Harley_ | I literally cannot boot into my computer anymore. | 10:48 |
| Harley_ | All I can boot into is this Live CD. | 10:48 |
| storbeck | Hrm, try going into your router configs and set up that computer to be in the DMZ | 10:48 |
| cicero123 | i would get that harley because i wasnt in the user settings with admin permissions changing it there | 10:48 |
| cpk1 | a normal router configuration should allow it | 10:48 |

| storbeck | I've never heard of someone having so much trouble with installing kubuntu as you have XD | 10:50 |
| cpk1 | Harley_: you can chroot into it | 10:50 |
| storbeck | (Although it's understandable considering the circumstances) | 10:50 |
| Harley_ | cpk1: How would I go about doing that? | 10:51 |
| cicero123 | its my fault, i got frustrated and started tapping the mousepad that stopped it in the middle of partitioning the disk | 10:51 |
| Harley_ | Whenever I try and boot into windows I get a missing hal.dll file in my system32 folder. | 10:51 |
| Harley_ | and now I get the error: hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 99 | 10:51 |
| Harley_ | *when attempting to mount the partition so that I can check my system32 folder. | 10:52 |
| storbeck | Harley_, Boot into a LiveCD, mount the windows drive, download the hal.dll from somewhere online and put it in your system32 folder | 10:52 |
| Harley_ | Stor | 10:52 |
| Harley_ | that's what i'm saying-it won't work | 10:52 |
| Harley_ | I'm in LiveCD since this is the ONLY thing I can get into. | 10:52 |
| cpk1 | Harley_: can you mount the drive from the live cd? | 10:52 |
| Harley_ | I CANNOT access my windows partition since it will not let me | 10:52 |
| Harley_ | No, Cpk1 | 10:52 |
| Harley_ | it gives me that error that I've posted | 10:52 |
| Harley_ | error: hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 99 | 10:53 |
| storbeck | What command are you giving? | 10:53 |
| Harley_ | right click, mount | 10:53 |
| storbeck | sudo mount it | 10:53 |
| cicero123 | i am about ready to cry. :( i got a minimal bash grub line. whatever that means. | 10:54 |

| VilleVicious | When I use the aptfix command, Konsole gives me command not found text | 10:55 |
| nanothief | VilleVicious: I'm guessing use apt fix instead | 10:55 |

| cpk1 | Harley_: is that partition in your fstab? | 10:57 |

| cpk1 | cicero123: during boot up? | 10:58 |
| cicero123 | yeah. when i was installin i got a grub fatal error | 10:58 |

| cpk1 | and then you rebooted? | 10:59 |
| * cpk1 headesks | 10:59 | |
| storbeck | He didn't reboot. He was installing and grub failed during the install so it brought him to a grub prompt | 11:00 |
| cicero123 | it went to the kubuntu splash screen, popped open the disk, and told me press enter. and now i have a grub prompt | 11:00 |
| cicero123 | with minimal bash like line edition support. | 11:01 |
| cicero123 | *line editing | 11:01 |
| storbeck | cicero123, Are you sure you're not installing Gentoo? *chuckles* | 11:01 |
| cpk1 | you are going to have to boot from the live cd most likely | 11:01 |
| cicero123 | go back to the live cd? | 11:01 |
| cpk1 | did it have a more specific grub error? | 11:02 |
| storbeck | cicero123, Why don't you do this. Boot into the livecd, install qtparted or gparted, delete all the linux partitions. then reboot and start from scratch | 11:02 |
| cicero123 | update-grub failed. this is a fatal error. was all it said | 11:03 |
| cicero123 | k | 11:03 |
| cpk1 | probably dont need to go that overboard | 11:04 |
| cicero123 | what is the exit command for grub, or should i just turn it off? | 11:04 |
| cpk1 | reboot will work | 11:04 |
| storbeck | cpk1, Probably not, but I think it might help him simplify things | 11:04 |

| Dekans | I'm on kubuntu hardy but it was the same on gutsy | 11:19 |

| harmental | i solved it by deleting the ~/.kde/share/config/medianotifierrc file | 11:20 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: some of them deleted okay, some of them are mounted. how do i unmount them | 11:20 |
| * Raize uses Vista | 11:20 | |
| harmental | you should NOT set the usb drive to automount (otherwise the problem returns) | 11:21 |
| storbeck | umount -a /dev/hd | 11:21 |
| storbeck | (change hd with the one u want to unmount | 11:21 |

| Dekans | let's hope :p | 11:22 |
| harmental | Dekans: btw you shoulld also remove your usb HDD from the fstab | 11:22 |

| cicero123 | slower than snot in winter | 11:32 |
| Dekans | harmental: everyone is sleeping :( | 11:40 |
| storbeck | cicero123, Did you get it figured out? | 11:40 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: it is 4 am and i am really tired. i keep getting a microkernel error on booting | 11:40 |
| cicero123 | but kde loads | 11:41 |
| storbeck | So it installed? | 11:41 |
| harmental | you could some channel in Europe...its noon here | 11:42 |
| cicero123 | no, if id ont use the livecd i get a grub line | 11:43 |
| cicero123 | and i cant get to m$ vista | 11:43 |
| storbeck | So where are you at in the install process? | 11:44 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: one of the larger linux partitions is active, and the command to unmount only freezes qparted | 11:44 |
| storbeck | Hm | 11:44 |
| storbeck | Have you tried closing gparted, then unmounting? | 11:45 |
| Raize | vistakiller, lost.servehttp.com :) | 11:46 |
| vistakiller | :P | 11:46 |
| Raize | Oh, wait. His box runs XP. | 11:46 |
| Raize | lost.servehttp.com:8080 is forwarded to me :) | 11:47 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: i really appreciate all your help. but it looks like i rally goofed. | 11:47 |
| storbeck | Mehhhh I'd hate to see you walk away with no linux and no windows =/ | 11:48 |
| Raize | Just stick a windows disc in and hit go. | 11:48 |
| Raize | Or stick an ubuntu disc in and hit go. | 11:49 |
| Raize | Unless you really foobared the disc I guess. | 11:49 |
| storbeck | Try downloading the gparted iso and burning it to a cd, then try deleting all the linux partitions | 11:49 |
| storbeck | (by using the gparted livecd) | 11:50 |
| storbeck | That -should- work | 11:50 |
| Raize | A windows XP disc should be able to do that by itself too, if not then i'm sure an ubuntu discs setup deal would. | 11:50 |
| Raize | Think I remember gparted being like gOS though, annoyed the shit outta me. | 11:50 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: i need sleep very badly. if i come back after about 8 hours of sleep, i should be thinking clearer | 11:51 |
| storbeck | Okay, have a good night | 11:51 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: will you be on in about 8 hours? | 11:51 |
| pipatron | Hey folks, I'm trying out some USB speakers, but I can't figure out how to actually send the sound to the speakers instead of the internal soundcard in my laptop from KDE | 11:51 |
| storbeck | Nope, I'll be at work unfortunately | 11:51 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: k. i do thank you for all the help you have given so far. | 11:52 |
| storbeck | You're welcome :] Sorry I couldn't help you that much | 11:52 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: i am sure if i get rid of the linux partitions and get vista going i can start over again. | 11:52 |
| storbeck | Hopefully :] | 11:53 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: what is grup error 17? | 11:53 |
| storbeck | cicero123, Here's a howto on how to fix error 17 | 11:54 |
| storbeck | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 | 11:54 |
| storbeck | Note: I'm not sure it will work 100% since you don't have Kubuntu fully installed | 11:54 |
| asobi | pipa: google it. there's alot of help on playing sound on laptop. | 11:55 |
| cicero123 | i just made a pot of coffee... i will hang on a few more minutes. going to the help thread right now | 11:55 |
| asobi | something to do with changing mixer settings i think | 11:55 |
| storbeck | I believe error 17 means that the partition exists but the filesystem type isn't recognized by grub | 11:56 |
| storbeck | Or was it installed? | 11:59 |
| cicero123 | i am sorry. i thought i could stay awake, but i will try again when i wake up. again you have been very helpful even though it was my stupidity that caused the problem in the first place. after some sleep, a shower and some breakfast i will be ready to go with whomever is here. | 11:59 |
| cicero123 | it says it installed but their was a fatal grub error. | 11:59 |
| storbeck | Did you see that link I sent? | 12:00 |
| VilleVicious | How do I make Kubuntu understand that I have a 16:9 screen? | 12:00 |
| cicero123 | storbeck: yes. i have it bookmarked | 12:01 |
| cicero123 | goodnight all. bbl. afk... | 12:01 |
| Aranel | How can I test OSS output ? | 12:03 |
| pushax | VilleVicious: have you inspected the Monitor Select area? | 12:09 |
| pushax | VilleVicious: do #kdesu kcontrol | 12:09 |
| VilleVicious | Could somebody give me the command to free package database? I tried to change my monitor settings and lost all visual and had to re-install Kubuntu. | 12:20 |
| pushax | VilleVicious: the monitor and vid card settings are held in xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ dir | 12:23 |
| pushax | VilleVicious: if something goes wrong like that yu can usually revert to an older file to reset the changes. | 12:23 |
| pushax | VilleVicious: what do you mean by free package database ? | 12:24 |
| pushax | VilleVicious: which version of Kubuntu are you using? | 12:26 |
| VilleVicious | after re installing I tried to run adept manager it says the package system database is being used by other processes | 12:26 |
| VilleVicious | 7.10 | 12:26 |
| pushax | do a Ctrl Esc to get process list and see if it's running in background... crashed... | 12:27 |
| pushax | Also in a comand line do # sudo dpkg --configure -a to clean up any previously bad installing processors | 12:28 |
| VilleVicious | Ok now advice on the monitor problem: I tried changing the monitor setting from monitor&display> hardware and it said that the change need a reboot to take place, and after the reboot it just showed a black screen | 12:37 |
| VilleVicious | I decided to reinstal to get it working at all | 12:38 |
| pushax | VilleVicious: maybe it picked a frequency your monitor couldn't display. | 12:40 |
| pushax | VilleVicious: what moniotr do you have and what video card? | 12:41 |
| pushax | VilleVicious: good advice is to get used to using Kate and a program called Krusader. both allow you to edit and manipulate files in root mode. to get root mode you can start them from shell with kdesu kate or kdesu krusader | 12:42 |
| pushax | old versions of linux used to default to 24bit graphics which also caused programs with monitors and vid cards. | 12:44 |
| VilleVicious | I have a Lg flatron wide 20" and ati radeon 9600 card | 12:45 |
| pushax | Use Krusader to reinstate the older files where a configuration doesn't work. | 12:45 |
| pushax | what res is the LG? | 12:45 |
| nanothief_ | VilleVicious: did you try installing the ati drivers? | 12:46 |
| VilleVicious | 1680x1050 | 12:46 |
| pushax | VilleVicious: yeah goto ADept and search for 'xserver' you'll see drivers for ATI and ATI HD cards. install both of them | 12:47 |
| murat | i've got a problem with display | 12:49 |
| murat | could somebody help me ? | 12:49 |
| pipatron | murat: Not unless you ask your question | 12:50 |
| murat | my screen size is 640x480 and i could not do it 1024x768 | 12:50 |
| VilleVicious | I found xserver-xorg-video-ati and xserver-xorg-video-ati-dbg the first one is installed allready | 12:51 |
| pushax | reinstall the first and then install the second | 12:52 |
| VilleVicious | ok | 12:52 |
| pushax | that may help but least you'll know you ahve the base ATI drivers. | 12:53 |
| pushax | VilleVicious: did you want my xorg.conf file? I have the same sysmtem in most respects. same res mlcd monitor and x700 ATI which will work witht eh driver I ahve chosen as yours | 12:54 |
| pushax | then you can simply replace the xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 and reboot. | 12:55 |
| pushax | any java programmers here? | 12:58 |
| pipatron | I hope not :) | 12:59 |
| pushax | hehehe | 12:59 |
| pushax | just wondering what they think of IcedTea Java | 12:59 |
| pushax | murat did you fix the monitor? | 13:00 |

| storbeck | What do you mean it's at the bottom? | 14:37 |
| adm | it's zero | 14:37 |
| storbeck | Could you get a screenshot? | 14:37 |
| adm | wait | 14:38 |
| adm | i think its working | 14:38 |
| storbeck | Your soundcard appears to support both analog and digital | 14:38 |
| dewitt | ? i am runing kubuntu 7:04 at full speed on DSL ubuntu and kubuntu 7:10 runs at snail pace ? | 14:38 |

| adm | storbeck: the PCM rises up and down now when I press the Fn keys, but still no sound | 14:39 |
| storbeck | Try plugging headphones or speakers in | 14:40 |
| adm | ok | 14:40 |
| storbeck | Hear anything? | 14:41 |
| adm | storbeck: no :( | 14:42 |
| storbeck | Are you able to switch between analog and digital? | 14:42 |
| adm | How would I do that? | 14:43 |
| asobi | regarding kde 4: A new multimedia interface (Phonon), making KDE independent of any one specific media framework <--- what does that mean? | 14:43 |
| storbeck | Click on switches | 14:43 |
| adm | Theres headphone, IEC958, Caller ID and Off-hook | 14:44 |
| storbeck | bah | 14:45 |
| nosrednaekim | asobi: any KDE application simply calls phonon to play any sounds/video and then phono contacts the backend (gstreamer, DirectShow, xine, etc) | 14:45 |
| asobi | hmm, so how does it work in kde3? | 14:45 |
| storbeck | What type of sound are you trying to play? | 14:45 |
| adm | Some testsong in amarik | 14:46 |
| adm | amarok* | 14:46 |
| storbeck | Are you added to the audio group? | 14:47 |

| storbeck | It's a long shot =/ | 14:51 |
| adm | storbeck: installed | 14:51 |
| storbeck | Try running it | 14:51 |
| storbeck | And make sure everything is up | 14:51 |
| === _czessi is now known as Czessi | ||
| adm | storbeck: Everything that is possible to change is up | 14:52 |
| asobi | what do you have olimp? | 14:53 |
| storbeck | Another long shot, try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras | 14:53 |
| adm | Ok | 14:54 |
| olimpico | storbeck: I just installed it, now what?? | 14:54 |
| storbeck | lol, not you olimpico | 14:55 |
| olimpico | mmmmmmm | 14:55 |
| storbeck | oh wait, you both are having the same problem | 14:55 |
| adm | :D | 14:55 |
| storbeck | Ok, try playing the song again | 14:55 |
| adm | still installing storbeck | 14:56 |
| storbeck | ok | 14:56 |
| adm | storbeck: master is PCM now then? | 14:57 |
| storbeck | yes | 14:57 |
| storbeck | if that doesn't work, try putting it back to front | 14:57 |
| storbeck | although if they're both up all the way it shouldn't matter | 14:57 |
| adm | still no sound | 14:58 |
| adm | I think I will give hardy a shot | 14:59 |
| adm | It seems that this is a known bug | 14:59 |
| storbeck | Well, I have one more suggestion | 15:00 |
| adm | Ok, shoot | 15:01 |
| storbeck | 1 sec | 15:02 |
| * cuznt shoots | 15:02 | |
| cuznt | /remark this line, this is default audio driver | 15:03 |
| cuznt | what does that mean please? | 15:04 |
| storbeck | adm, add this to the end of your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base | 15:07 |
| storbeck | options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-eapd | 15:08 |
| adm | storbeck: still nothing | 15:10 |
| storbeck | Try restarting it | 15:10 |
| adm | ok, brb | 15:10 |
| adm | storbeck: no difference... :( | 15:15 |
| storbeck | Well, I'm out of ideas. =/ I don't know why it's not working. I have an intel soundcard and mine works fine | 15:15 |
| adm | Ok, anyway, thanks for your time :) | 15:16 |
| nosrednaekim | cuznt: where is this? | 15:17 |
| storbeck | you're welcome :) | 15:20 |
| cuznt | the unremark? | 15:21 |
| cuznt | i am trying to make my sound work | 15:22 |
| cuznt | i have an install disk from my manufacturer SiS | 15:22 |
| cuznt | and in my /etc/modules.conf file it say to change it | 15:23 |
| cuznt | but also says //remark this line, this is default audio driver #====== added those lines ============= | 15:24 |
| cuznt | and i wonder what remark this line means take away th (#)? | 15:24 |
| hony | i think the mean what remark this line is append (#) at the head of this line. | 15:29 |
| cuznt | add it or take it away... | 15:29 |
| cuznt | hrmmmm is is an odd fish that | 15:30 |
| cuznt | alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias usb-controller usb-uhci #alias sound-slot-0 via82cxxx_audio//remark this line, this is default audio driver #====== added those lines ============= alias char-major-116 snd options snd major=116 cards_limit=1 #--- Intel 8x0 and SiS 7012 ---------- alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 options snd-intel8x0 index=0 id="ICH" #--- Via8233 Via686a ------------------------------- #alias snd-card-0 | 15:32 |
| cuznt | snd-via82xx #options snd-via82xx index=0 id="VIA" //================================= | 15:32 |
| hony | the mean what take it away is enable this line | 15:32 |
| cuznt | that is what it reads exactly. | 15:32 |
| cuznt | so i cut and pasted it into my modules config and removed all the #'s and //remark this line, this is default audio driver | 15:33 |
| storbeck | That was smart... | 15:33 |
| katcita | hi | 15:34 |
| katcita | everytime I restart my computer or my network, my extra dns are removed, anyway I can get them to survive a restart? | 15:35 |
| hony | you can edit resolv.conf | 15:37 |
| cuznt | i can | 15:38 |
| cuznt | as root even | 15:38 |
| hony | append your extra dns to it | 15:39 |
| hony | my english is bad,i'm chinese, can you know my mean? | 15:40 |
| katcita | hony: that's what i do, but they get removed from resolv.conf after each restart | 15:40 |
| katcita | hony: so everytime I restart my network or computer I have to add extra dns to resolv.conf | 15:41 |

| Daisuke_Ido | does using the .d/ suffix for a subdirectory work with resolv.conf as well? | 15:44 |
| storbeck | Ok :) | 15:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | for instance, sources.list.d/ has additional sources lists that are considered part of sources.list | 15:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | would resolv.conf.d/ do the same? | 15:45 |
| infbliss | is there a possibility of getting source code of a package using apt-get | 15:45 |

| jussi01 | tvtime works nicely, just want to record | 16:50 |
| nuxil | then its not pvr | 16:50 |
| nuxil | jussi01, afik you cant rec wit tvtime.. try zapping instead | 16:51 |
| jussi01 | nuxil: its a normal tv input card, you can choose channels through normal tv input, or you can plug a digibox or dvd in via svideo or rca | 16:51 |
| nuxil | i know what card type it is.. i had one of thouse a time back. | 16:52 |
| nuxil | i cant remember how i did what you want. its been years since i did it.. | 16:53 |

| icheyne | hi all - I'm getting really frustrated because whenever I logout, my PCM volume mixer setting keeps resetting itself to a really quiet volume. How do I keep it high permanently? | 17:23 |
| BluesKaj | icheyne, have you set the vol ctrls in alsamixer ? | 17:27 |
| icheyne | no I haven't | 17:27 |
| icheyne | I can do it in alsamixer | 17:27 |
| icheyne | but how do I make it remember that? | 17:27 |
| icheyne | hang on I'll try | 17:27 |
| nuxil | icheyne, i have had same problem | 17:28 |
| nuxil | only way i could fix it was like this | 17:28 |
| nuxil | run this command | 17:28 |
| nuxil | echo -e '#!/bin/bash\ndcop kmix Mixer0 setMasterVolume 100' > ~/.kde/Autostart/setvolume | 17:28 |
| icheyne | awesome | 17:28 |
| icheyne | I'll try now | 17:28 |
| icheyne | thanks | 17:28 |
| nuxil | wait | 17:29 |
| nuxil | also chmod 755 /.kde/Autostart/setvolume | 17:29 |
| nuxil | then try | 17:29 |
| ZeH | found some info on a forum and he says i should type "sudo gedit ......" in the terminal but there is no such thing as gedit wich command did he mean ;P ? | 17:29 |
| icheyne | what is the \ndcop bit about | 17:29 |
| icheyne | ZeH: in Kubuntu try sudo kedit | 17:29 |
| nuxil | it sets the volume trough dcop service | 17:29 |
| ZeH | icheyne ok | 17:29 |
| icheyne | thanks nuxil | 17:29 |
| icheyne | I'll try now | 17:29 |
| BluesKaj | nuxil, i like your command but setting the volume to 100 is much too high , just around 71% is below clipping | 17:30 |
| nosrednaekim | ZeH: its "kdesudo kate" | 17:30 |
| ZeH | icheyne didnt work either | 17:30 |
| icheyne | won't that command just set the | 17:30 |
| ZeH | nosrednaekim ok will try | 17:30 |
| icheyne | master volume high - not just the PCM? | 17:30 |
| nosrednaekim | ZeH: if you are on fiesty or previous, it will be "kdesu kate" | 17:30 |
| nuxil | you want both? | 17:30 |
| BluesKaj | ZeH, gedit is the editor for the gnome desktop , kate is the editor for kde (kubuntu) | 17:31 |
| icheyne | ZeH: yes it should have been "kdesu kate" or "kdesu kwrite" | 17:31 |
| Flare183 | d_mitry: see? | 17:31 |
| ZeH | nosrednaekim ok kdesu kate worked | 17:31 |
| ZeH | thx | 17:31 |
| icheyne | nuxil: just PCM really | 17:31 |
| nuxil | ok | 17:31 |
| icheyne | would the command be? "echo -e '#!/bin/bash\ndcop kmix Mixer0 setPCMVolume 100' > ~/.kde/Autostart/setvolume" | 17:32 |
| d_mitry | Flare183, see what? :P | 17:32 |
| Flare183 | !autostart | d_mitry | 17:32 |
| ubotu | d_mitry: To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. | 17:32 |
| Flare183 | that | 17:32 |
| d_mitry | oh, k. thanks. | 17:32 |
| d_mitry | it's not a program, but one command. | 17:32 |
| Flare183 | d_mitry: exactly | 17:33 |
| BluesKaj | icheyne, also opening alsamixer in the terminal, setting the ctrls , then under session choose quit instead of just exiting on X | 17:33 |
| icheyne | BluesKaj: thanks I'll try that too :) | 17:34 |
| BluesKaj | icheyne, have you set the sound system up in system settings | 17:34 |
| BluesKaj | ? | 17:34 |
| icheyne | BluesKaj: just checking | 17:35 |
| Maxim000 | there are no bootlog in /var/log. Just /var/log/boot with one string "(Nothing has been logged yet.)" How can I enable bootlogging? | 17:35 |
| sigma_1234 | what exactly changed in hardy 6? looks the same to me except for the kde version updates | 17:35 |
| icheyne | BluesKaj: there's not much to setup? | 17:35 |
| BluesKaj | icheyne, hardware | 17:35 |
| nosrednaekim | sigma_1234: there should be a compiz config tool int here somewhere | 17:35 |
| icheyne | BluesKaj: there aren't too many settings I can tweak? | 17:36 |
| icheyne | BluesKaj: even in the hardware section | 17:36 |
| sigma_1234 | i thought that came in a few alphas back. because i remember seeing a screenshot of it | 17:36 |
| nuxil | icheyne, | 17:37 |
| sigma_1234 | icheyne: whats the problem with your sound? | 17:37 |
| BluesKaj | icheyne, choose the hardware tab/select the audio device/Advanced Linux Sound Architecture, click apply. Also if you want to set the custom sampling rate, and quality | 17:38 |
| nuxil | open kmix and tell me what row. pcm is on. from left to right | 17:38 |

| BluesKaj | nuxil, using the cli is very effective, but using the GUI is much easier for ppl to remmeber who don't save the commands in a text file for future reference | 17:42 |
| sigma_1234 | very true | 17:43 |
| nuxil | BluesKaj, true. but the command i gave him was piped to a file. as a script. | 17:44 |
| nosrednaekim | sigma_1234: yup, thats the general idea | 17:44 |
| nuxil | BluesKaj, but people should also get used to use cli " espesialy in a *nix* envoierment | 17:45 |
| sigma_1234 | i dont get the point. i mean honestly was it brain surgery to install compiz manually. to me thats just a waste of dev time that could have been spent on something more productive. | 17:46 |

| nuxil | most ppl use windows :p | 17:47 |
| sigma_1234 | yes hence if you want them to convert | 17:48 |

| BluesKaj | calling ppl whores who like to use a gui isn't called for , nuxil | 17:52 |

| sigma_1234 | im a manual package installer myself. i just feel that adept complicates the whole matter | 17:52 |

| jussi01 | warren_: does it give you an error? | 19:44 |
| warren_ | it shuts down quietly | 19:44 |
| jussi01 | warren_: are you familiar with the command line at all? | 19:44 |
| warren_ | yeah | 19:45 |
| warren_ | but i don't like to install debs in commandline :) | 19:45 |
| jussi01 | warren_: could you try installing a deb with: sudo dpkg -i debname | 19:45 |
| warren_ | i did it like that | 19:45 |
| jussi01 | warren_: I want to see the output and an error if it thorows one | 19:45 |
| warren_ | it's strange | 19:46 |
| jhutchins | !info sonatat | 19:46 |
| jhutchins | !info sonata | 19:46 |
| jussi01 | warren_: and it installed? | 19:46 |
| warren_ | because when you launch it by double licking on a deb when installing it shuts down | 19:46 |
| jussi01 | jhutchins: bot is laggy/dead | 19:46 |
| warren_ | when you launch the installation with gdebi-kde in commandline you can seee the install windows but it doesnt do anything | 19:46 |
| warren_ | OSError: [Errno 12] Ne peut allouer de la mémoire | 19:46 |
| warren_ | it is in french | 19:46 |
| jussi01 | what does that mean in english? | 19:47 |
| warren_ | Cannot allocate memory | 19:47 |
| engin | slm | 19:47 |
| jussi01 | hrm, have you tried purging and reinstalling gdebi-kde? | 19:47 |

| jussi01 | engin: ?? | 19:47 |
| engin | araniza yeni katildim. yeniyim.. simdilik bir sorum olacak. en iyi msn programi. linux icin. | 19:48 |
| jussi01 | warren_: Im not sure how to fix that one, save a reinstall, I dont just recomend tthem at a drop of a hat. Please file a bug about it. | 19:48 |
| warren_ | So when launching gdebi-kde graphically it shuts down, when launching it in commandline not, it doesn't install (0%) with this error | 19:48 |
| jussi01 | engin: what language is that? | 19:49 |
| warren_ | there is already a report | 19:49 |

| life | Hey guys | 19:56 |
| jussi01 | hi | 19:56 |
| life | I got a quick problem for you guys... kubuntu boots normally but when I try to use knetworkmanager to select a point to connect to (and enter hex wep), it freezes the entire system | 19:57 |
| life | freezes near 28% or so at "configuring device" | 19:57 |
| JoshOvki | life: are you using ndiswrapper? | 19:57 |
| life | JoshOvki: yep. | 19:58 |
| life | JoshOvki: the device is recognized alright but just freezes when associating I guess | 19:58 |
| JoshOvki | life: i had a simular problem a while ago with it. I belive it turned out to be that the MAC address was set to 00:00:00:00 i found a patched madwifi what my wifi | 19:59 |
| ZeH | on a ubuntu forum they say i should use "sudo ndiswrapper ....." but that doesnt exist in kubuntu whats the right one ? | 19:59 |
| life | JoshOvki: Hmmm, what's strange is it was working fine just the other day. | 20:00 |
| JoshOvki | life: that is odd then. i know very little about ndiswrapper, i got away from it as soon as i could. i had major problems with my Athros card | 20:00 |

| Regital | i don't know how to get it to work | 20:52 |
| coreymon77 | i used to have that card | 20:52 |
| coreymon77 | very easy | 20:52 |
| Regital | really? | 20:52 |
| coreymon77 | yup | 20:52 |
| coreymon77 | single command should do it | 20:52 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: is your network encrypted | 20:53 |
| Regital | indeed it is | 20:53 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: wep? | 20:53 |
| Regital | umm... i'm pretty sure yeah | 20:53 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: is it a jumble of letters and numbers or is it a passphrase | 20:53 |
| Regital | passphrase | 20:53 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: as in a word? | 20:54 |
| Regital | yeah | 20:54 |
| Regital | well... name and 2 numbers | 20:54 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: i think that is wpa, if im not mistaken | 20:54 |
| Regital | ok | 20:54 |
| jussi01 | !overshare | 20:54 |
| ubotu | Um thanks... We *really* did not need to know that... | 20:54 |
| coreymon77 | jussi01: am i right? | 20:54 |
| jussi01 | coreymon77: no. you can have wep passphrase | 20:54 |
| coreymon77 | oh | 20:55 |
| coreymon77 | so lets try wep first | 20:55 |
| life | Is there some way to start kwallet manually? | 20:55 |
| nosrednaekim | life: kwalletmanager is what tab gives me | 20:55 |
| Regital | wep it is then | 20:55 |
| ZeH | going from windows to linux wasnt the easiest thing :P | 20:55 |
| life | nosrednaekim: Ah, so run kwalletmanager? | 20:55 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: type iwconfig into console and pastebin the results for me okay? | 20:55 |
| nosrednaekim | yp | 20:55 |
| life | nosrednaekim, thanks! | 20:55 |
| Regital | well im on my laptop right now and my linux is on my desktop | 20:56 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: do you have access to the desktop? | 20:56 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: does it have internet at all? | 20:56 |
| Regital | no | 20:56 |
| Regital | the desktop doesn't have internet | 20:56 |
| Regital | i prolly should've told that earlier | 20:57 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: okay, well, type iwconfig into console and tell me if ra0, ra1 etc is listed | 20:57 |
| Regital | no ra's at all | 20:57 |
| coreymon77 | okay, lets assume that its ra0 then | 20:57 |
| Regital | ok | 20:58 |
| Regital | what's next? | 20:59 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: okay, type this into console on the desktop | 20:59 |
| jmichaelx | ok, i have often used kaffeine to play movies, and i often watch movies that are subtitled. in the past kaffeine has asked me to select which subtitles to use, and all went well. now it askes me to select, and then tells me it can't find the subtitles. any suggestions? | 20:59 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: sudo iwconfig ra0 essid [youressid] key [wepkey] | 20:59 |
| nosrednaekim | jmichaelx: maybe there aren't any? | 21:00 |
| jmichaelx | this was in KDE 3.5.8, so i upgraded to 3.5.9, but the problem remains. | 21:00 |
| jmichaelx | nosrednaekim: : i think i just mentioned that they had always played fine. they are there. | 21:00 |
| jmichaelx | if they weren't there, it would not give me the list to selct from to begin with | 21:00 |
| nosrednaekim | jmichaelx: but are you sure this particular movie has subtitles? | 21:00 |
| jmichaelx | select* | 21:00 |
| Regital | coreymon77: it says SET failed on device ra0 ; No such device | 21:01 |
| jmichaelx | nosrednaekim: : yes, it has subtitles. they are there in plain site. i can open them in kate. | 21:01 |
| coreymon77 | hmm | 21:01 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: try this, lscpi | 21:01 |
| jmichaelx | nosrednaekim: : like i said, it worked fine the last time i watched it | 21:01 |
| nosrednaekim | jmichaelx: weird... what happens when you right lick on the movie while its playing at open subtitles that way? | 21:01 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: tell me if your ralink card appears anywhere | 21:01 |
| Regital | it does | 21:02 |
| jmichaelx | nosrednaekim: : it does not let me do that | 21:02 |
| coreymon77 | okay | 21:02 |
| coreymon77 | lets figure something out, open up system prefs | 21:02 |
| jmichaelx | nosrednaekim: : by the way, the movie plays fine with the subtitles in mplayer, but not in kaffeine | 21:02 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: and click on network settings | 21:03 |
| nosrednaekim | jmichaelx: oh! hrm | 21:03 |
| jmichaelx | nosrednaekim: : my guess that this is just one more kubuntu gutsy bug that has cropped up | 21:03 |
| jmichaelx | hrm? | 21:03 |
| Regital | coreymon: where is that? | 21:03 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: where is what | 21:03 |
| nosrednaekim | jmichaelx: I would suppose so ^_^ | 21:03 |
| jmichaelx | for me gutsy has just been a struggle with one bug after another | 21:04 |
| khussein | Is there a way to enable internal mic in Dell D830? | 21:04 |
| jmichaelx | i have been a big k/ubuntu fan, but i finally switched my desktop to fedora 8, but not this laptop | 21:04 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: system prefs or network settings | 21:04 |
| jmichaelx | sigh | 21:04 |
| Regital | coreymon77: heh.... system pref | 21:04 |
| Regital | i hate being a noob | 21:04 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: kmenu, system pregerences | 21:05 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: preferences* | 21:05 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: i mean, system settings | 21:05 |
| Regital | ok | 21:05 |
| Regital | coreymon77: ok im in network settings | 21:05 |
| jmichaelx | by the way, what is the deal with the new kaffeine in the repos, without a corresponding upgrade for kaffeine-xine? | 21:06 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: is there a card listed there | 21:06 |
| Regital | yeah | 21:06 |
| Regital | 2 | 21:06 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: what are they | 21:06 |
| jmichaelx | is this a medibuntu issue, or a canonical issue? | 21:06 |
| Regital | eth0 and wlan0 | 21:06 |
| nosrednaekim | jmichaelx: is that the cause? | 21:06 |
| nosrednaekim | jmichaelx: no idea,though I did hear of it | 21:06 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: oh, its wlan0 now | 21:06 |
| coreymon77 | thats odd | 21:07 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: okay then | 21:07 |
| jmichaelx | nosrednaekim: : no, it isn't. i didn't upgrade to the new kaffeine | 21:07 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: try this one | 21:07 |
| jmichaelx | i have no idea why the newer kaffeine is even there. it's ridiculous. | 21:07 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid [youressid] key [wepkey] | 21:07 |
| === johannes_ is now known as Vantskruv | ||
| Regital | coreymon77: it says Error for wireless request "Set Encode" | 21:09 |
| jmichaelx | lol, i just upgraded to KDE 3.5.9 to see if it would fix this kaffeine problem, and now my bash history has been wiped | 21:09 |
| jmichaelx | good grief | 21:09 |
| Regital | Invalid argument "password" | 21:09 |
| Regital | webkey w/e | 21:09 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: oy | 21:10 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: tou do know, that you have to replace [youressid] with your network name and [wepkey] with your wireless password | 21:10 |
| jmichaelx | Regital: make sure you put quotation marks around your essid in that command coreymon77gave you | 21:10 |
| coreymon77 | without the []'s | 21:10 |
| Regital | yeah | 21:10 |
| Regital | i know | 21:10 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: you know what, screw this, lets do it graphically | 21:11 |
| Regital | lol ok | 21:11 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: go back to network settings | 21:11 |
| Regital | ok | 21:11 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: look at the bottom of the window, do you see an administrator mode button, click on that button and then enter your password | 21:12 |
| Regital | done | 21:12 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: click on wlan0 and press configure | 21:13 |
| Regital | done | 21:13 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: first things first, do you want to use dhcp or do you want a static ip | 21:13 |
| jmichaelx | coreymon77: i am not trying to bud in, but did you guys compile the serialmonkey ralink drivers and blacklist the ubuntu drivers? | 21:14 |
| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: this is a gutsy system, should that already be done | 21:14 |
| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: shouldnt* | 21:14 |
| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: that was for feisty | 21:15 |
| jmichaelx | coreymon77: as far as i know the gutsy ralink drivers workk very poorly for most people | 21:15 |
| jmichaelx | no, feisty worled fine. look at the forums. | 21:15 |
| jmichaelx | worked* | 21:15 |
| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: im gonna give this a shot, then ill do that | 21:15 |
| jmichaelx | i had no issues with rt2500 infeisty on 2 different machines. the gutsy ralink drivers have been useless for me. | 21:15 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: so, do you want automatic dhcp or a static ip? | 21:16 |
| Regital | ok... =p either dhcp or static goes for me, unless there's major down sides on either one | 21:16 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: aka, do you plan on forwarding any ports? | 21:16 |
| jmichaelx | coreymon77: ok, i will leave you alone then. if nothing else works, i would defintely suggest the serialmonekey drivers. he'll be far happier. | 21:16 |
| Regital | lol forwarding any ports? | 21:16 |
| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: as i said, thanks for the suggestion, let me just try this, then ill give your thing a shot | 21:17 |
| jmichaelx | np, wish you both luck | 21:17 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: you have no clue what im talking about right? | 21:17 |
| Regital | about forwarding ports? | 21:17 |
| Regital | no | 21:17 |
| Regital | so i don't think i will then eh? | 21:17 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: okay then, lets stick with dhcp | 21:17 |
| Regital | ok | 21:17 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: so, in the configure window, choose automatic | 21:17 |
| Regital | ok | 21:18 |
| eviljames | So I have set xorg to start without the -nolisten tcp option, and ran xhost + for no access control, but X does not listen on port 6000... what gives? | 21:18 |
| Nakkel | coreymon77: Regital is a bit computer illiterate at the moment. Moving from Windows and like. Also I once allready talked him through how to config his card manually, didnt help then. | 21:18 |
| coreymon77 | Nakkel: thanks for the tip | 21:18 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: am i going too quickly for you | 21:18 |
| Regital | oh no | 21:18 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: okay, click the box that says activate when the computer starts so that there is a x in it | 21:19 |
| Regital | o | 21:19 |
| Regital | k | 21:19 |
| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: i am assuming, since his key is a passphrase, that if it is wep, it is ascii right? | 21:20 |
| coreymon77 | Nakkel: you can answer that too | 21:20 |
| jmichaelx | coreymon77: i think so. | 21:20 |
| coreymon77 | okay then | 21:20 |

| jmichaelx | Nakkel: i have had a miserable time in gutsy with anything wireless. the only way i have been able to use rt2500 based cards has been to compile the serialmonkey drivers, and then either use the commandline or RutilT to connect. | 21:21 |
| khussein | Can someone help me enable USB in VirtualBox? | 21:21 |
| jmichaelx | using rt2500, you need to remove network manager. | 21:22 |
| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: thats why when my rt2500 died, i made sure i got a new card that works well, i have an atheros card now, it works pergectly | 21:22 |
| nosrednaekim | khussein: you need the non-opensource version you know. | 21:22 |
| Regital | coreymon77: so i leave it as ASCII? | 21:22 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: choose ascii as the key type | 21:22 |
| jmichaelx | coreymon77: yeah, atheros usually works in most distros, if it is the right atheros. the other option is intel. | 21:23 |
| khussein | nosrednaekim: Isn't this the version that I can get through aptitude? | 21:23 |
| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: this is the perfect atheros, its also a better card | 21:23 |
| Regital | done | 21:23 |
| nosrednaekim | khussein: not unless you added the virtualbox repository | 21:23 |
| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: the card is the Airlink101 AWLH4030 wireless g card, its the best card ive ever had | 21:23 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: now click okay | 21:23 |
| jmichaelx | gutsy was a dramatic step backwards in regards to wireless, not to mentionseveral other ways | 21:23 |
| Regital | done | 21:23 |
| khussein | Ahuh .. is this the only way? | 21:24 |
| khussein | I mean to enable the USB? | 21:24 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: now, go to routes | 21:24 |
| jmichaelx | corey, i have 2 atheros PCMCIA cards, and they are nice. unfortunately, my laptop has no PCMCIA port | 21:24 |
| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: this is a pci card | 21:25 |
| Regital | coreymon77: where would that be? =p | 21:25 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: up at the top of the window, there is a tap that says routes on it | 21:25 |
| Regital | the routes | 21:25 |
| Regital | oh | 21:25 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: are you still in network settings? | 21:25 |
| Regital | yeah | 21:25 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: are you on the routes tab | 21:26 |
| Regital | coreymon77 indeed | 21:26 |
| jmichaelx | coreymon77: is Regital's card PCI or mini-PCI... or something else? | 21:26 |
| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: the rt2500 is a pci card | 21:26 |
| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: he is on a desktop | 21:27 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: now, on the right side, there is a pulldown menu next to device, click on that and choose wlan0 | 21:27 |
| Regital | done | 21:27 |
| jmichaelx | he may have luck then. i have an ancient AMD K6-2 desktop with an rt2500 PCI card that is working fine. the rt2500based mini-PCI would never work well in gutsy in my laptop. | 21:28 |

| Nakkel | coreymon77: Just make him punch "ipconfig /all" on Windows CLI. ;) | 21:32 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: it should bring up the wireless connection status window | 21:32 |

| jmichaelx | coreymon77: try looking at the threads regarding rt2500 in the forums... | 21:37 |
| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: i used to have an rt2500, i have spent hours and hours on that card, so i know what im doing with it | 21:37 |
| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: let me try what i am trying, then ill give your suggestion a shot | 21:38 |
| gilles | I see the other pc on my network but I don't view the share folders. What can I do ? | 21:38 |
| jmichaelx | coreymon77: i was not questioning that, i was only pointing out that many, many people have had a number of serious issues with gutsy | 21:39 |
| nosrednaekim | !samba | 21:39 |
| gilles | yes | 21:39 |
| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: i know, many many people, but not all, i dont want to get any more complicated then i have to for him | 21:39 |
| jmichaelx | but it is often like that with computers and OS's | 21:39 |
| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: so im trying it the easier way, then, if that doesnt work, we will go through compiling the other driver | 21:40 |
| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: he also doesnt have any internet on his desktop, so downloading and compiling a new driver would prove to be a little difficult | 21:41 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: are you still there? | 21:41 |
| jmichaelx | coreymon77: i understand, with your experience with that chipset, you'll get his going with time. | 21:41 |

| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: :P | 21:42 |
| jmichaelx | i should have taken my own advice about the forums.. seems a lot of people have the same issues with subtitles right now. the last libxineupdate broke subtitles. | 21:42 |
| nosrednaekim | jmichaelx: hehe :) | 21:43 |
| fat-head | ive installed kubuntu and when trying to update kubuntu with adept manager it downloads the files but when it installs them it gets to 53% of the files but then it crashes and give an error that some files might be corrupt and have caused a break. this has happened 2 times i had to wash my hard drive after the first time and then reinstalled kubuntu again but now i have the same problem | 21:43 |
| jmichaelx | coreymon77: i have been through the same stuff. i always had luck getting broadcom going, and i thought that feisty was the best for wireless that i had seen. | 21:43 |
| coreymon77 | fat-head: try sudo dpkg --configure -a | 21:43 |
| jmichaelx | i tried to help alocal guy get bcm43xx working the other day at a coffee shp, but could never get it to work. it was the first time i had tried in gutsy. | 21:44 |

| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: when i had the broadcom chip cards, that was back in the days of ndiswrapper, the days of 5.10 and dapper, and this was a bcmw5050, or something like that | 21:45 |
| jmichaelx | ok, i have another kaffeine question... i just read where one guy claims that upgrading to the new kaffeine fixed his subtitle problem... but for me, if i upgrade to the new kaffeine, it removes libxine entireley, and i can play practically nothing | 21:45 |
| coreymon77 | jmichaelx: so let me tell ya, it was a plain in the bloody arse | 21:46 |
| jmichaelx | coreymon77: lol | 21:46 |
| nosrednaekim | jmichaelx: are you sure you have the latest package lists? | 21:46 |
| fat-head | does that mean next time i reinstall kubuntu i have to run sudo spkg --configure -a first then use adept ? | 21:46 |
| jmichaelx | nosrednaekim: : if i am missing something, i have no idea what it could be | 21:46 |
| coreymon77 | Regital: where did you go? | 21:46 |
| gilles | I see the other pc on my network but I don't view the share folders. What can I do ? | 21:47 |
| fat-head | what did " sudo dpkg --configure -a " do ? | 21:47 |
| fat-head | ? | 21:48 |
| coreymon77 | fat-head: fixed it? | 21:48 |
| fat-head | no | 21:48 |
| fat-head | i only managed to install 53% of the files adept downloaded then it crashed | 21:49 |
| fat-head | now that i refreshed adept the other half havent installed | 21:49 |
| fat-head | and wont install | 21:49 |
| fat-head | argh!! and i thought switching from ubuntu to kubuntu would be as easy as everyone told me | 21:50 |
| nosrednaekim | fat-head: run "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 21:50 |
| coreymon77 | fat-head: dont use adept, this isnt time for graphical methoids | 21:50 |
| coreymon77 | fat-head: something like this usually requires command line actions | 21:51 |
| fat-head | when u first installed kubuntu did u update everything with adept right away ? | 21:51 |
| fat-head | or did u use apt-get | 21:51 |
| fat-head | is using apt-get safe? arnt i supposed to use the one given " adept manager " | 21:52 |
| fat-head | ? | 21:52 |
| coreymon77 | fat-head: adept is apt-get | 21:52 |
| fat-head | lol | 21:52 |
| fat-head | k | 21:52 |
| coreymon77 | fat-head: adept just slaps a graphical interface on top | 21:52 |
| fat-head | so adept is synaptic too ? | 21:53 |
| coreymon77 | fat-head: synaptic does the same thing, it just slaps a graphical interface on top of apt-get | 21:53 |
| fat-head | kk | 21:53 |
| fat-head | but its strange i didnt get breakage when i used apt-get or synaptic with gnome ubuntu | 21:53 |
| coreymon77 | fat-head: that has nothing to do with it | 21:54 |
| coreymon77 | fat-head: there is obviously a package that has a bug it in | 21:55 |
| jmichaelx | hmm, apparently there is no fix at this time for the subtitle problem. people are having otherproblems with kaffeine/xine right now, too | 21:55 |
| fat-head | thats the problem it just closed and showed the error it didnt let me see | 21:55 |
| === cuznt is now known as raid | ||

| fat-head | not apt-get | 22:01 |
| fat-head | it was adept which gave me error | 22:01 |

| bobwhoops | hi all, I'm running kubuntu on a pretty slow machine, and some things are ridiculously sluggish. Are there any "low hanging fruit" I can disable to make things speed up? | 22:39 |
| NickPresta | bobwhoops, you can disable transparency, large bubble tooltips | 22:41 |
| NickPresta | bobwhoops, how slow is the machine? | 22:41 |
| bobwhoops | NickPresta: the actual ghz is pretty good (2.8), but it's kinda misleading since the cache is practically non-existant and there's a built-in intel graphics | 22:42 |
| moope1 | hullo, ubuntu is taking ages to load on boot. It seems to spend a long time looking for resume images. Any one know how to fix? | 22:43 |
| NickPresta | bobwhoops, still, it should be fine for the most part. Perhaps it is a RAM problem? | 22:43 |
| moope1 | I mean kubuntu.... | 22:43 |
| bobwhoops | NickPresta: no problems on my previous distro | 22:43 |
| NickPresta | bobwhoops, hmm. Strange. | 22:44 |
| bobwhoops | NickPresta: where do I disable transperancy? | 22:44 |
| NickPresta | bobwhoops, K Menu > System Settings > Window Behavior > Translucency. Similarly, you can try disabling GUI effects (System Settings > Appearance > Style > Effects) | 22:46 |
| bobwhoops | NickPresta: translucency was disabled by default, and I've already turned off the GUI effects. No change | 22:47 |
| NickPresta | bobwhoops, are there any applications specifically or does KDE and the whole system feel sluggish? | 22:47 |
| bobwhoops | NickPresta: it's only for some things though. mostly it runs snappy, but things like adept are ridiculously slow | 22:47 |
| NickPresta | moope1, perhaps this can help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=422875 | 22:47 |
| NickPresta | bobwhoops, Adept runs snappy for me (less than 3 seconds to start up) see if something like 'sudo apt-get install` takes a long time to run. | 22:49 |
| bobwhoops | NickPresta: no, running it from the CLI is fine. It's just things like clicking on something in adept can take 10+ seconds | 22:50 |
| NickPresta | bobwhoops, oh. I have no idea what the problem could be. Sorry. Perhaps ask again later. | 22:51 |

| tom_ | 23:32 | |
| killermach | found it.. ccsm | 23:32 |
| killermach | hmm.. I used beryl for months,it seems to have more options/features than compiz | 23:34 |
| killermach | how do I rotate the compiz cube? | 23:34 |
| kral | turk yokmu | 23:35 |
| michael__ | never mind | 23:36 |
| michael__ | going for the 32 | 23:36 |
| adz21c | michael__: either is good, I think for none servers 64bit doesnt have much to offer (unless u got more ram than 32bit works with) | 23:36 |
| kral | ak ubuntuya sattiz bizi d | 23:36 |
| adz21c | michael__: although i use 64bit and i have no issues. If your in doubt/novice i would say stick with 32 | 23:36 |
| michael__ | kubuntu seems to work with AMD chip when dealing with 64 bit | 23:37 |
| adz21c | it does for intel too | 23:37 |
| michael__ | I chose Intell (first time in 10 - 15 years) for the Quad core | 23:37 |
| adz21c | yea, i usually stick to amd, but at the time of my pc upgrade i got more for my money with intel :-) | 23:38 |
| michael__ | Intel spanked AMD with the Quad core | 23:38 |
| JESUSfreak_ | hey which one is more efficent amd or intel? | 23:38 |
| adz21c | depends what u mean by efficient | 23:39 |
| michael__ | you might as well draw a line through the middle of the room and tell the crowd to pick a side | 23:39 |
| adz21c | not exactly an easy question to answer | 23:39 |
| michael__ | not easily done | 23:39 |
| JESUSfreak_ | if i want to run a vista on my pc which processor should i use | 23:39 |
| adz21c | either | 23:39 |

| charwood | I just installed Hardy Heron Alpha 6 on my new notebook. I'm trying to get wireless to work. It has the Intel 3945 card in it. I am using the ilw3945 and iwlwifie_mac80211 modules and it seems to be working-ish. KWifiManager sometimes sees my access point and sometimes doesn't. (It's 2 feet away). But it won't connect. | 23:57 |
