[00:00] night guys [00:00] nn [00:00] how can i mount a printerfilter? [00:00] in cups [00:00] jacob: nothing shows up when you go to Help -> Amarok Handbook? [00:02] if I went to isntall kde4 what is the package in synaptic that I'm supposed to install? [00:02] kde4-core [00:02] iirc [00:02] i wouldnt do that.... [00:03] bad? [00:03] that's what i did... [00:03] like i have heard, it is not fit enough for general using [00:03] yeah. i found it very slow [00:04] I have no sound in flash after installing oss [00:04] generally dissapointed with the menu bar. much prefer kde 3's [00:04] prawned, all I see is kde4base and synpatic tells me it's fot development only [00:04] what version of kubuntu are you running [00:04] me? gutsy [00:04] hm [00:05] works for me. but i downloaded the iso and reinstalled yesterday so... [00:05] you're missing some repos [00:05] praWned, im using gutsy gibbon [00:06] have a look to see if you can find out the repos for it [00:06] should be on kde site :) [00:06] there are a cupple of kde4 pakages in synaptics..... [00:06] hang on [00:08] http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.2.php [00:09] praWned, thanks!!!! [00:13] :) [00:13] np [00:13] hope it runs nicer for you than me [00:14] praWned, why is it that kde4-core doesnt show up in synaptic?? :-( [00:14] didn't really like it much. some cool bits. but i generally prefer my kde 3.5 with compiz-fusion. its running so sweet :) [00:14] any ideas on no sound in flash, but everything else works? [00:14] you have added the repos yes? [00:14] malforrmed line in repo [00:15] is that what it says when u try add it? [00:15] how do I add this to the repo: "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu gutsy" [00:15] praWned, no, i tried to get a new list in synaptic [00:16] open synaptic. go Settings > Repositories : Click New [00:17] in the url box put : http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu [00:17] mixed, copy and paste it to your sources list , save , then do a sudo apt-get update. [00:17] or do it like tht. i think he is solely using gui tho [00:17] in distribution box: gutsy [00:17] hey is there a way to remove passwords for a user. [00:17] section(s): main [00:17] so the user doesnt need a password to login [00:18] mixed, alt+F2 , kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list [00:18] click ok. then hit the reload button [00:18] Blueskaj, ok then what should I type? [00:18] zPliskiN, you can set kdm to autologin a user, [00:18] what you posted above [00:19] how do you do that ? [00:19] and there may bee a setting in the kdm config file to allow several users to login with no password [00:19] Check the kdm config tool. [00:19] alright [00:19] BluesKaj, I added this line and it makes synaptic cry: "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu gutsy" [00:19] not all gdm./kdm options have 'settings' in the gdm/kdm config tools. :) some times ya just gotta edit the configs. [00:20] But autologin - is in the gui config tools i recall [00:20] !find kdm, [00:20] No packages matching 'kdm,' could be found [00:20] !find kdm [00:20] Found: kde-kdm-themes, kdmtheme, kdm [00:20] mixed: you forgot the rest of the line [00:20] mixed , did you see my posat about, alt+F2 , kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list ? [00:21] err post [00:21] BluesKaj, yes [00:21] ur missing the "main" part on that line [00:22] BluesKaj, problem is I dont know what else goes after that [00:23] BluesKaj, I think i have "main" mising at the end :-( im still a kubuntu noob [00:23] that's whats missing [00:23] mixed: do you have your sources.list file open? [00:25] praWned, no, I already fixed it and did the update [00:25] * Daisuke_Ido gives mixed a thumbs up [00:26] BluesKaj, now I can see kde4-core as an option! Im going to install this puppy :-) [00:26] mixed: yay :) hope it works better for you than I [00:26] Daisuke_Ido, thank you === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [00:27] praWned, I already tried KDE4 and I hated it! But I hate more this updated version of KDE and using gnome is not an option [00:27] mixed , heh I wish you luck ...good to see you're resourceful :0 [00:28] well you also have the option of xfce or fluxbox (if you're REALLY minimalistic) [00:28] Daisuke_ido, xfce is too boring, specially since I have a fast processor [00:29] ah [00:29] brb [00:29] hmm, tried out enlightenment? [00:29] especially DR17 [00:31] nope, dont have time for that, id rather stick to KDE [00:31] fair enough [00:32] just thought i'd point out a few alternatives [00:32] ok I just finished installing KDE4, lets take it for a test spin! BRB [00:32] I wonder how well Enlight. works as a kwin replacement, [00:32] probably not too well [00:33] I notifced that when i installed openbox - it added a kde-openbox and a gnome-openbox session to KDM. [00:33] anyone has an encrypted home that gets mounted at kdm login? [00:34] Normally home would get mounted at boot time. if its onitsd own partition/filesystem [00:34] a user could use fuse i guess and have their own encrypted directory/folder. [00:34] yeah...you should encrypt the entire disk...not only home [00:35] it now gets decrypted right at the start of the boot process [00:36] kdm and gdm can read files from the users /home/USERNAME dir. [00:36] so having it get mounted/uncrypted after the user actually logs in may be a little tough. [00:36] what if the user just 'ssh' in? [00:36] majestic: i know, but i realized too late that for example the locate/updatedb is bad [00:37] well, it's my laptop, so it's really a single-user box [00:39] its really NOT a 'single user' :) since the system needs to remain flexiable where it can handle other users also. [00:39] it just only has one user. Heh. [00:39] You could rewrite the various kdm session scripts to do whatever you wanted i guess. [00:40] it all depends on how paranoid you want to be, and how much work you want to do. [00:42] don't want to do much work [00:42] :) [00:43] yes, a kdm script would probably be the right thing [00:43] a whole lot of work for very little gain also I think. [00:44] I'm dreaming of a masked system, one encrypted home, one fake home, and depending on the password one gets mounted [00:45] dunno if that would fool the people at the customs [00:46] OK KDE4 works on my distro, anyone knows how to change the menu 3.5 style?? === stdin changed the topic of #kubuntu to: Official Kubuntu support | FAQ: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQ | Kubuntu CDs! https://shipit.kubuntu.org | Pastes: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | Chat in #kubuntu-offtopic | KDE 4 support in #kubuntu-kde4 | Tutorials Day logs at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KTD | Please add ideas: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/SoC | KDE 3.5.9 is out! http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-359.php | Hug Day! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20080313/KDE [00:47] mixed: afaik not easily possible [01:01] sure it is [01:01] plasma [01:02] meh [01:02] en español [01:02] cnales [01:02] !es [01:02] Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [01:03] if i remember right, there are two different menu widgets [01:03] i am wanting to convert a mp3 file to a m4a file, how can i do this? [01:05] try soundkonverter [01:05] note: this is generally not a good idea [01:05] stdin: i've actually been using it, but it "fails" on certain files. [01:05] you *will* lose quality [01:06] Daisuke_Ido: talking to me/uss? [01:06] yep [01:06] what are you converting for? ipod? === ubuntu is now known as jose [01:06] the reason i am doing this: mp3 "audiobook" needs to be "m4b" (m4a renamed to m4b). [01:07] i don't get it, but okay :) [01:07] its going to be 32 kbps, quality will be fine for audiobook... [01:07] Daisuke_Ido: all i need to do is convert it to a m4a file, (i believe this is the same as mp4, but not sure). [01:07] ah, yeah, you're alright there... not sure why soundkonvertor won't do it === cody is now known as ctaylor [01:07] hi can some body give me the place in spanish? [01:07] Daisuke_Ido: it does some of the mp3's, but not all. it "hangs" at 100%, and never actually saves the files. [01:08] you can always try using ffmpeg/mencoder manually, but it's not for the faint hearted === ctaylor is now known as cody_ [01:08] !es | jose [01:08] stdin: been thinking of it. [01:08] jose: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [01:08] thanks [01:09] has any one recently installed kubuntu7.10 image and tried to run the upgrades and lose the whole system and have to re-install? [01:09] yeap mate [01:09] that hapened to me [01:09] Daisuke_Ido: stdin could the fact that I am "combining" about 8 mp3's to one using cat > file possibly be the reason it is failing? [01:10] I'd think so, I don't think you can just "cat" several mp3's together [01:10] tkesler: yes that happened to me twice now [01:10] i know [01:10] the 1st would play but the others would probably fail [01:10] is there a solution around this? [01:10] stdin: it's worked for many of them that i am doing, surprisingly enough. [01:10] i am kind of new to linux [01:11] i am too [01:11] matt__: you could convert them all to raw (not wav) then cat them all together and encode the result I guess [01:11] nice :P [01:11] i am trying to do this again through konsole this time [01:11] stdin: http://www.mehtanirav.com/2007/07/28/tip-combining-multiple-mp3-files-into-one/ [01:11] just to see where it goes [01:12] !mount | compilerwriter [01:12] does anybody know about eyeOS? whats that*lool* [01:13] matt__: that would depend on the robustness of the player/decoder, each mp3 has a header in it, some players/decoders will ignore them and some will error out [01:14] stdin: but what is weird, is i've been catting many mp3s, and soundkonver has done more than half, i'd say, but there are a few it doesn't do. i don't think it has anything to do with bitrate, size, or length either. [01:14] george_--> did it give you an error "commiting changes"? [01:14] matt__: it could do, I'm no expert on the mp3 format so I can't say for sure either way [01:15] hm... i wouldn't know.. coz i left the pc on during the night to do this update and in the morning [01:15] I'd still go for the converting to raw first [01:15] it had stuck at some point [01:15] stdin: me neither. but if i first converted to a wav, do you think that may make it work? [01:15] matt__: not wav, but raw (wav has a small header too) [01:15] so i had to close the updater and that was it [01:15] i rebooted and it said file not found [01:16] stdin: i don't understand what you mean by headers, but how would i do the raw conversoin? [01:16] I don't know if it was in the boot loader or OS [01:16] maybe not bitrate, size, or length, but sampling rate? [01:17] we don't have the same problem then mate, the first time i tried to update it stuck on running local scripts [01:17] Daisuke_Ido: that is where i know nothing of :( [01:17] matt__: something like this "mpg123 -s *.mp3 > bigfile", raw is the same "format" as wav but it just doesn't have a header saying "Hi, I'm a wav file" [01:17] dang:( === cody_ is now known as ctaylor === ctaylor is now known as codyt === codyt is now known as c_taylor [01:18] !nickspam > c_taylor [01:18] so i am trying konsole now, so if any error appears i can track it down.. [01:19] stdin: not sure i understand, what does mpg123, that the command? [01:19] what's the apt cmd for update is it 'apt-get update'? [01:19] for a fresh install, using manual install. 15gb primary partition mounted as /, 500 mb logical mounted as /boot,200 gb logical mounted as /home, 1 gb primary mounted as swap. is this all ok ? [01:19] tkesler: yes, but that only downloads the *list* of new packages [01:19] tkesler: if you actually want to upgrade your system, that's apt-get dist-upgrade [01:20] matt__: mpg123 is a command like mp3 player/decoder, the -s option tells it to send the output to stdout (the console) instead of the audio device, then "> bigfile" tells the shell to send the output to the file "bigfile" [01:20] that's what i am now doing apt-get dist upgrade [01:20] is there a new dist?? I thought 7.10 was the latest [01:20] stdin: alright, after trying this command, it keeps complaining of a lot of illegal mpeg headers... [01:20] stdin: so this is probably caused from the mp3 tags after each other, right? [01:21] i have 7.10 Kubuntu but after the innitial boot it says that a new dist is availabl [01:21] stdin: makes since now, this particular ebook was orignally a lot of small 2mb files... [01:21] stdin: so esentially, i suppose the large file .mp3 contains 200 headers or so. [01:22] matt__: makes sense [01:22] stdin: but still makes me wonder why some of the others were working even though they had 2-8 "headers". [01:22] Note: Illegal Audio-MPEG-Header 0x43443454 at offset 0x72e89b5. [01:22] Note: Trying to resync... [01:22] Note: Skipped 236 bytes in input. [01:22] Note: Illegal Audio-MPEG-Header 0x00004344 at offset 0x74da931. [01:22] Note: Trying to resync... [01:22] stdin: so what is it doing with the headers? [01:23] probably trying to ignore them and carry on [01:23] stdin: think it'll work? [01:24] matt__: maybe, you'll have to play it to find out [01:24] stdin: so this file, it has no extension or header, but it IS a wav file, correct? [01:28] i'm trying the 'dist-upgrade' option...I hope it doesn't crash this time [01:28] -_- [01:29] ^_- [01:31] matt__: yeah [01:34] stupid wifi... [01:35] root = primary partion [01:35] /boot = logical partition [01:35] /home = logical partion [01:35] swap = primary [01:35] is this correct ? [01:36] eeeeek: [01:36] no [01:37] eeeeek: boot=primary, root=primary ideally, otheres can be logical [01:37] or make all 4 primary and do the job properly [01:37] afk [01:37] it doesn't really matter, grub doesn't care [01:39] I have a ntfs partition as primary so no more then 4 primary partitions [01:40] help - how do I reverse a patch (applied using GNU patch of course)? [01:41] I'll give this a go [01:41] /boot = primary [01:42] and the rest logical [01:44] or better yet, does anyone know of a good howto on manual partitions, i have read a couple but they seem to have conflicting views [01:44] Does anyone know if there is a way to get kmail to simply delete an email without first sending to the trash can to be deleted later the second time in a selective fashion? [01:45] Arwen: patch -R < patch [01:46] stdin, can I still use that if the patch I want to reverse failed to apply? [01:48] Arwen: if it failed to apply then the original file would be left alone, you'd probably see .orig and .reg files too [01:48] stdin, what if only some hunks of the patch failed? [01:49] it should still do that [01:49] hmm [01:59] *sigh* whoever had the stupid idea to use xml for config files [01:59] how do I enable compiz??? [02:00] Exilant: it seems to be a spreading idea [02:00] !compiz | mixed [02:00] mixed: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion [02:01] stdin, thank you [02:01] HELP! i have an extra sound card that ubuntu didnt install by itself....its a creative live board and im not sure how to install it......HELP! [02:02] kgoetz: well, i really don't know. In principle, all those different config formats are bad, but they just are a lot more read- and editable by humans (and machines) [02:06] david_: perhaps give more detail and less panic. [02:06] Exilant: i dont think different forms are particularly bad. its only a problem when the format isnt obvious (in which case the format is broken) === cpk1_ is now known as cpk1 [02:08] anyone know why i get sound with mp3 but not video? [02:10] anyone know why i get sound with mp3 but not video? [02:10] oren: maybe the codecs aren't there? [02:11] kgoetz, im not sure what package i have to install for it....it says Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 when i do lspci [02:11] it was working but then i tried something to turn on spdif and now no good, mp3 is good [02:12] are you using the same program for both? [02:14] david_: are you sure it didnt install it, or has it not configured it? [02:14] david_: also, are you running *ubuntu* or *kubuntu*? [02:14] ubuntu.. [02:16] dav then ask #ubuntu [02:17] I BIG GREETINGS FROM UKRAINE [02:18] small howdy from over here. [02:20] folks anyone had succes running netbeans in AMD64? [02:30] folks how can I have libmawt installed on my machine? === chagas is now known as eddieftw [02:33] anyone know why i get sound with mp3 but not video? [02:33] it was working but then i tried something to turn on spdif and now no good, mp3 is good [02:33] !info libmawt [02:33] Package libmawt does not exist in gutsy [02:33] !find libmawt [02:33] No packages matching 'libmawt' could be found [02:34] Frederick get the source code and build it. [02:34] test [02:34] clay_ [02:34] thanks bob. [02:34] np [02:35] how do i set the clock from 24-HOUR mode to 12-HOUR mode [02:35] Agent_bob: too much work to install netbeans :p [02:36] netbeans=easy. [02:36] Frederick i agree. [02:36] clay_: ubuntu is with the packages messed up somehow netbeans is broken on amd64 [02:36] xtknight languages section of the system settings [02:36] I was trying some work arounds [02:37] ok. gotcha. [02:37] Agent_bob, entering hh:mm:ss instead of HH:MM:SS doesn't work [02:37] I will do the ultimate work around and use vista :p [02:38] Agent_bob, hh:mm:ss is not interpreted in the example, it shows as just "hh:mm:ss". yet "HH:MM:SS" is replaced properly with the 24-hour format. [02:38] xtknight oh ? you applied the change ? [02:38] Agent_bob, ya i tried [02:38] xtknight- right-click the clock and go to Date & Time Format [02:38] but isn't there supposed to be a P in there xtknight ? [02:38] entering HH shows 22. which is correct. the example is updated. if I type "hh:mm:ss", i see exactly "hh:mm:ss" in the example [02:38] oh, i dont know, is here? [02:39] Dragnslcr, yup this is where i am [02:40] something seems awfully fishy. i have a US locale yet i have A4, metric, and "Monday" as start of week [02:41] * Agent_bob stopped using kde when they changed the defaults to display the first day of the week as monday. [02:41] i dunno im just giving kde a test run [02:41] * kgoetz wonders what day you start on [02:41] sunday [02:41] sunday [02:42] oh, "pH:MM:SS AMPM" is proper. [02:42] odd [02:42] what has always been the first day of the week [02:42] ok it works, i think [02:42] right.... [02:42] why is A4 the default for US English? [02:42] when there's a US Letter option [02:42] [02:42] monday is first day of week because God rested on the 7th, the sabboth. [02:43] and why is metric default for US ? [02:43] ya lol [02:43] might be a bug [02:43] i was thinking it had something to do with me installing kubuntu-desktop after regular Ubuntu [02:44] instead of Kubuntu [02:44] but if everyone's the same i'll report it [02:45] * kgoetz wishes he could get a4 to be his default without pain [02:46] i juste installed kubuntu-desktop over ubuntu, too. worked fine after I fixed the font rendering. [02:46] anyone managed to run netbeans 6 in AMD64? I have it broken with the following bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/192761 [02:48] Fred. try running VM with graphics switches off (command line switches)?? [02:48] im trying kde cuz gnome doesn't allow multiple-desktop backgrounds and they havent fixed the file->save dialog bugs (filename retained thru navigation) [02:48] seems more solid i dunno [02:48] clay_: cant, I need to to netbeans [02:49] anyone reccomend a gnome version of kontact? or should I Just grab kontact [02:49] Yuji_ evolution ? [02:49] hey folks, what files do kbluetooth need full control over for it to work properly? [02:50] Agent_bob I thought it was just email -- I'll give it a try! [02:50] idk [02:51] fred: it 'seems' like there may be a way to get the classpath for the actual netbeans app altered, but not sure how. [02:51] I do it with Eclipse all the time. you can start eclipse by issuing the VM command. [02:52] clay_: which command would it be? [02:52] i installed server-ubuntu + gnome + kde + fluxbox + blackbox + twm + xfce4 + icewm + windowmaker + .... i can't even remember what all is on that system... [02:52] sorry Fred, that was cryptic. I just meant launch eclipse with java.exe. -- from batch file (windows) [02:52] and i still only use the console ! [02:53] maybe google: "modify netbeans classpath". [02:53] Hello ppl! === keith__ is now known as compilerwriter [02:54] clay_: to do it I need netbeans to run :p [02:54] hey some one can give me a hand?, i need to config the keyboard :S [02:54] I'm saying modify the startup "OF" netbeans. I know what you're saying. [02:54] NetBeans IS a java app, I believe. [02:54] I believe you can configure the keyboard by using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:55] k [02:57] what's with installing any kde4 apps with hardy? can't install anything because of deps on v3.97 of kde. [02:58] Fred: http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqStartupParameters [02:58] bye Fred. It's been real nice. [02:58] storbeck i could be wrong. but i doubt that that is what he was looking for. and 1. it will have to be done as root 2. the changes only affect newly started xserver 3. kde may override those changes. [02:59] Well yes, I figured he would use sudo. ctrl + alt + bksp will restart the server, and KDE won't override the changes. [02:59] it can. [02:59] How would KDE override it? [03:00] That's generally the whole point in the xserver-xorg, but okay. [03:04] are there any musicians here? === keith__ is now known as compilerwriter [03:05] Hi! Is this the right channel to ask about issues with the current kubuntu hardy alpha version? [03:05] !compiz [03:05] Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default.

[14:12] i have another question. When i call man for a command, i enter the subroutine or something, and i can exit with q. Is there a way to get the contents of man in stdout? [14:12] you mean a string that forwards it to another file besides man? [14:13] lovre: man | cat [14:14] jlt: Are you running as root? [14:14] no [14:14] genii: no [14:14] jlt: OK. Did you have a separate /home partition previously? [14:15] genii: I did and I still do. [14:16] jlt: Did the partition names change after upgrade, or else the fstab modified so that / is mounted as /home now? [14:17] Or possibly another / from a different linux install, etc etc [14:17] genii: Not sure about the partition names. But everything is still mounted in the same place as before. [14:18] SSJ_GZ: thank you. I thought i tried that, but it seems i didnt :D thank very much [14:18] lovre: np :) [14:18] jlt: Looks like perhaps this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/175982 [14:19] SSJ_GZ: another question. The command "top" also goes into a program something like man. But i cant get it as a string with cat [14:19] SSJ_GZ: top | cat ->doesnt work [14:19] SSJ_GZ: it still just runs top [14:20] SSJ_GZ: is there a way to get a current state of top and send it to stdout [14:20] lovre: top -bn1 [14:22] SSJ_GZ: thanx again :D :D youve helped me alot :D [14:22] lovre: Hehe - you're welcome :) [14:24] genii: will try what's described there. thanks [14:27] jlt: Hope it helps.

[15:59] genii: client .. trying to connect to a windoze box [15:59] is smb need to access winos ? [16:00] fuhreal: OK, so the sm.conf file is pretty much moot there then. Clients only use smbclient [16:00] *smb.conf [16:01] fuhreal: In file browser put url like: smb://x.x.x.x where x.x.x.x is replaced by the IP of your Windows computer [16:02] genii: i wish i could find the bar in dolphin that i could type in ....

[16:08] i.e. stream em ' [16:08] fuhreal: just mount the share in fstab [16:08] samba is fine [16:08] jussi01: but i don't want it mounting all the time [16:09] fstab means automount [16:09] flipstar: but if i put it in fstab, won't it always try to mount on boot? [16:09] yes..but doesnt matter if it failes [16:09] fuhreal: yeah, but if its not there it wont mount [16:09] fuhreal unless you specify 'noauto' [16:10] jussi01: when i try to just use samba amarok complains about the plugin for the network is not suitable [16:10] you can put in the mount options the word noauto and then it won't be booted [16:10] but it works fine with rythmbox .. i just like amarok better [16:10] fuhreal: you need it mounted via fstab [16:10] really .... [16:10] and you can put "noauto,user" also there and it will let regular users mount it as well [16:12] rudd-o__ you prefer 'user' over 'users' ? [16:14] so ..... any idea why ryhtmbox doesn't require the fstab declaration but amarok does? [16:15] fuhreal cause amarok is weaker and requires more support ??? [16:15] ps... DMG2ISO is a great app [16:16] Agent_bob: lol ...... but its so perty [16:17] "beauty is a curse" [16:17] ???

[19:59] i have gimp and works [20:00] mostprobably it does not have the right command [20:00] what it has as a command gimp-remote -n %F [20:01] gimp-remote %F yes [20:01] without the -n here [20:02] gimp-remote is for an already-running gimp [20:02] it started gimp here [20:03] and in konsole it also works [20:03] drkns: just try without the -n [20:03] here it says Unknown option -n [20:03] Ah, the man page at their site explains it will open an instance if none exists [20:04] does anybody know where I can disable the hibernation and suspend buttons in the kde3 shutdown menu? there should be a file somewhere for this... [20:04] That page http://www.gimp.org/man/gimp-remote.html [20:05] thank you very much flipstar [20:05] solved the problem [20:12] hi i just want to ask has anyone tryed kxdocker ? [20:13] i have [20:13] a little quirky, but it works once you have it set up [20:13] raylu is it easy to set up [20:13] i decided in the end that i don't need a dock [20:13] i use katapult instead :D [20:13] no, it's actually a bit of a pain [20:13] but is that really an issue for you? [20:13] well ... not really [20:13] :d [20:14] good :D [20:14] i'm kinda newbie but i manage to set things up [20:14] hmm there is a suspend button on the shutdown menu? how come I never see one? :) [20:14] after the 3 or 4 trial :D [20:15] Dragonath: clock logout first :) [20:15] err click [20:15] raylu ... i should download the source file right :D [20:15] I did [20:16] ForsakenSoul, i don't remember. if it's not in the repositories, yes [20:16] I only have log out, hibernate, restart and turn off [20:16] isnt it hibernate ? [20:16] yeah there is no repository .. no binary for kubuntu [20:16] er [20:16] what binaries do they have? [20:16] well hibernate kills the power to the pc [20:16] you'll never see binary "for kubuntu" [20:16] I'm more interested in it staying powered [20:17] but to consume less power [20:17] type laptop-mode start [20:17] raylu mybad [20:17] didn't see the debian binary [20:17] will it actually have any effect as I have a desktop pc? :) [20:18] guess yes..never tried [20:18] heh there is no such command [20:19] /etc/init.d/laptop-mode start maybe [20:20] google tells me it's part of a toolkit [20:20] or install laptop-mode-tools === NDPTAL86 is now known as NDPTAL85 === NDPMB is now known as NDPMacBook [20:20] then try again :) [20:21] turns out suspending isn't so good when your hard drive is active [20:21] raylu sorry for bugging you again .. i've installed the deb binary but can't find it anywere in the k menu [20:21] correct [20:21] should i search for the files manualy ? [20:22] ForsakenSoul, i don't remember it appearing either [20:22] i just ran the "kxdocker" command [20:22] could not run [20:22] just my luck [20:22] :D [20:24] <_Angelus_> guys [20:24] ForsakenSoul: list the files in the deb file and see where it would be installed [20:24] <_Angelus_> can someone tell me how to recover data from a formated partition? [20:24] just what i was thinking of doing [20:24] <_Angelus_> the filesystem on it is ext3 [20:24] you formated it and want to recover ? [20:25] <_Angelus_> long story [20:25] _Angelus_: What was the filesystem before? [20:25] _Angelus_: try this - http://www.porcupine.org/forensics/tct.html [20:25] <_Angelus_> i want to recover some pictures [20:25] <_Angelus_> before it was NTFS [20:26] _Angelus_: Not much hope I'm afraid. You may want to send it to a data recovery lab if the pictures are super important [20:27] <_Angelus_> genii: on reiserfs i used to do "reiserfsck --rebuild-tree -S /dev/xxx" [20:27] <_Angelus_> aint there something similar for ext3? :/ [20:27] _Angelus_: you could try debugfs as well [20:28] ScorpKing: That will only work if he had ext on it before but he did not [20:28] ah right [20:29] _Angelus_: If you formatted an ext3 partition with ntfs you would also have an equally difficult time retrieving files from the previous filesystem. [20:29] <_Angelus_> no [20:29] * ScorpKing tries to remember the program he used to recover pictures as much as three OS's installs/formats back.. [20:29] <_Angelus_> i formated an ntfs partition with ext3 genii [20:30] _Angelus_: stay here. i'm just going to see if i can find the program i used last time [20:30] <_Angelus_> ScorpKing: no no relax dude [20:30] <_Angelus_> i re-formated the partition with reiserfs [20:30] ScorpKing any idea what dtd dicer-toaster daemon is [20:30] you can use foremost or photorec to data carve [20:30] <_Angelus_> and im running reiserfsck --rebuild-tree -S /dev/hdb1 [20:30] <_Angelus_> :p [20:31] _Angelus_: found it - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TestDisk - have fun ;) [20:32] it takes a looong time to get photos but it's pretty good [20:33] * genii tries to understand how integrity checking a reiser filesystem will assist in recovering something on an ntfs filesystem which was then formatted over with ext3 [20:34] genii: yeah it beats me too ;) [20:35] http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Data_Recovery_Examples - testdisk [20:35] ScorpKing have you tried kxdocker ? [20:35] If the partition has been reformated to another filesystem [20:35] ForsakenSoul: nope [20:35] ok ... [20:35] just want to ask you if you know what Don't forget to tell your system to start the dtd dicer-toaster daemon first, or KXDocker 0.21 won't work [20:35] ForsakenSoul: kooldock and ksmoothdock [20:36] should mean :D [20:36] hehe. it should be in some of the docs [20:36] ScorpKing where can i find those 2 docks ? [20:37] !info kooldock [20:37] kooldock (source: kooldock): Dock for KDE with cool visual enhancements. In component universe, is optional.

[20:46] hello === chuck_ is now known as Shadow_mil [20:47] hi [20:48] i have install xgl-server [20:48] for active [20:48] KDE effect [20:48] but when [20:48] I dissinstall him === anon32 is now known as Arwen [20:48] the effect didn't go away [20:49] did you restarted X ? === dbimport is now known as Orochimaru-sama [20:49] yes, i have restard Kubuntu.. [20:50] What is "X"? [20:50] the X-server [20:50] haw i did that? [20:51] with ctrl+alt+backspace but you already did with restarting the pc [20:52] I have restar the pc, but the effect don't go away [20:53] im pretty sure you can disable them somewhere in menu/systemsettings [20:57] Hi, sometimes my KDE restarts, wihout i want that action, last time i change song in amarok and kde jumps to login screen..., or during instaltion with adept it jump to login screen, it happends randomly... any ideas plz? [20:57] where is the session manager where i define which programs to start with the operating sistem [20:57] !autostart [20:57] 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. [20:58] genii: btw, i just managed to delete an recover files with ext3rminator. usage: sudo ext3rminator -d /dev/loop0 -m test2.txt -r tmp/ [20:58] and* [20:58] basy: does X restart when you type glxinfo | grep direct ? you might want to save unsaved data before [20:58] that is one awesome name for an app [21:00] trappist: ext3rminator? [21:01] it's an awesome app as well ;) [21:01] ScorpKing: yeah [21:03] flipstar where is the .kde folder ? [21:04] in $HOME , hidden [21:04] found it [21:04] ~/.kde/ also should work :=) [21:05] ther is no files there [21:05] in autostart ? [21:05] yeah [21:05] in autostart only user applications.. [21:06] do you search for services ? [21:06] no i'm looking for a way to make my kooldock to start with the system [21:06] to load in the when the system starts [21:06] so copy kooldock to autostart .. [21:06] a symlink to kooldock [21:06] not the binary itself [21:07] a symlink ok [21:10] flipstar i'm sure you are anoyed by now from my stupid questions ... but i can't find the file which starts kooldock [21:10] type which kooldock [21:10] then ln -s ^ $HOME/Autostart [21:11] you mean, ln -s $(which kooldock) ~/.kde/Autostart/ [21:12] or echo "/usr/bin/kooldock" > ~/.kde/Autostart/kooldoch.sh [21:12] ForsakenSoul: listen to the pro's :) [21:12] with no shebang? [21:12] haha flipstar :P [21:13] ScorpKing don't you mean echo "/usr/bin/kooldock" > ~/.kde/Autostart/kooldock.sh [21:13] :D [21:14] ScorpKing does the K menu in the dock work fo you ? [21:14] ForsakenSoul: ah yes but it won't make a difference ;) i like the fixed spelling more [21:15] ForsakenSoul: perfectly [21:15] wow ... [21:16] is my pc aways the most screwed one [21:16] :D [21:16] doesn't work for my any other confs to work [21:16] unless you click it once and then remove the mouse ;) you have to click it again to hide the menu [21:17] the menu doens't even show up [21:17] ForsakenSoul: your pc will get better as you use linux for longer [21:17] ForsakenSoul: you have to enable that in the settings [21:17] i've enabled k menu in the setting [21:17] ah. weird.. [21:17] i have the icon but nothing happens when i click on it [21:18] btw i've been useing linux since december [21:18] but mostly ubuntu and some opengeu [21:18] * ScorpKing tells ForsakenSoul's box to behave.. [21:18] tried opensuse .. but it's not to my liking [21:19] well ScorpKing no matter i'll make a custom panel in the left end of my pc to house my K meny :D [21:19] K menu* [21:19] ForsakenSoul: or you can just assign a shortcut key combination to it ;) [21:19] by the way none of the icons work ... probably have to reinstall the whole thing [21:21] Which file controls the loading of plasma apps at login ?

[22:24] tysine: pastebin the results of ifconfig [22:25] the only thing that changed since it last worked reliably was that i moved from usa to australia, and i am using a differnet router. when i couldnt connect to the router here, i was messing with my interfaces file, and well... i have a few versions of it renamed, but could never get wifi to connect [22:25] tysine: I am willing to bet your wireless interface has been deleted as well [22:25] ok [22:25] flipstar current kernel source [22:26] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59535/ [22:26] Fleck: im confused..whats about current kernel source ?

[22:43] tysine: try: sudo iwconfig eth1 eesid "LAN" [22:44] asobi: at least you need to restart it to apply the update [22:44] asobi: no, but like flipstar said, you will need to restart it after the update [22:45] thanks [22:45] tysine: did that do / say anything? [22:45] Konqueror, browsing SMB shares. I need to enter user password that's validated by domain server. Does anyone know the syntax for that? (I know the information, I just need to know how to enter it!) [22:47] i used the command sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "LAN", and nothing was echoed [22:47] type iwconfig [22:47] and see if anything is different [22:47] Shadow_mil: it is now [22:48] three rows of 0 packets [22:48] does eth1 have a IP now? [22:48] ...and: tcpdump: pcap_loop: recvfrom: Network is down [22:49] iwconfig is the same [22:49] wifi isnt connected to anything, just landline [22:49] are you able to connect wirelesses to this router with another PC?

[22:51] failed [22:52] does iwconfig say anything different? [22:52] dariocoll: don't ask to ask, just ask [22:52] the only change is with this line... [22:52] x excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:72455 Missed beacon:0 [22:52] the value there (72455) keeps rising [22:53] thats the tx line [22:53] Shadow_mil: ok thanks, my question is: i have installed winxp and kubuntu, and i need to reinstall xp, if i do it, winxp will "eat" the grub? or i will conserve the dual boot? [22:54] dariocoll: probably it will clear grub...but ou can backup i [22:54] dariocoll: winxp will install its own bootloader over grub or any other bootloader you might have, nor can you change this [22:54] however, if you boot back onto the kubuntu livecd [22:54] you can reinstall grub [22:55] how i can reinstall it? [22:55] I'm done with Micro$oft windoze. [22:55] i don't want to loose my kubuntu, i have installed compiz and was it dificult for me :p [22:55] dariocoll: simple answer: Just turn that xp partition into extra storage :P [22:55] Not going to use it ever ever ever again.

[22:56] Dariocoll, I suggest you to partition your HD. [22:56] i have it partitioned [22:56] JTBlaze: he has [22:57] i concur partitioning is good [22:57] ( sorry for my bad english please ) [22:57] I see... [22:57] Well, turn one partition into NTFS. [22:57] Then install microsoft Windoze over it. [22:57] tysine: something has turned your network interface into fubar [22:58] yes [22:58] Make sure you move all data from one partition to another.. [22:58] To avoid data loss. [22:58] i have a hunch its something to do with interfaces [22:58] Then format into NTFS. [22:58] ...but being a newb, im not sure [22:58] Once formatted and changed into NTFS, install windoze. [22:59] Yes, there's a problem, once Windoze is installed, GRUB is substituted by Window's MBR then Ubuntu is to be installed afterwards [23:00] I suggest you to install Windows first, then install Kubuntu. [23:00] JTBlaze: he can do a floppy with grub [23:00] Didn't know that. [23:00] JTBlaze: or usb stick [23:00] Ok, OK. [23:01] tysine: Well you have two main problems: A. Lo interface is gone... "somehow" B.
