| storbeck | You can have as many KDE versions installed as you want. | 00:10 |
| mixed | storbeck, how do i install the previous version of KDE 3.5? | 00:11 |
| mixed | storbeck, i mean how do i install the version prior to 3.5? I think the current one is 3.5 | 00:12 |

| SlimeyPete | tony_: "search for it"? You want to know what command to run? Or you want to know where it put the files? | 00:20 |
| tony_ | nvclock-gtk | 00:20 |

| storbeck | tony, You can use tab completion. | 00:20 |
| tony_ | flipstar: didn't work | 00:20 |

| storbeck | Try typing nvclock and pressing tab | 00:21 |
| cuznt | i am | 00:21 |
| SlimeyPete | tony_: dpkg -L packagename | less to see all the files. | 00:21 |
| tony_ | it starts the command line version of nvclock | 00:21 |

| genii | Kr|ptiX: sudo apt-get install libk3b2-mp3 | 00:33 |
| genii | Kr|ptiX: I get the feeling how you install things is to download some .deb file all the time, last time it was missing libs for the flash plugin. | 00:34 |
| Kr|ptiX | how do i fix that error? | 00:36 |
| Kr|ptiX | so it doesnt do it again | 00:37 |
| genii | Kr|ptiX: If what you are trying to accomplish is to install mp3 support for k3b, the first thing I told you | 00:37 |
| genii | Kr|ptiX: sudo apt-get install libk3b2-mp3 | 00:37 |
| genii | ^ | 00:37 |
| Kr|ptiX | i did that but when i do sudo rpm -i <file> will it still give me that error? | 00:38 |
| Dr_willis | rpm ? | 00:38 |
| Kr|ptiX | i always get that error | 00:38 |
| Jsn | this is driving me crazy! I uninstalled knetworkmanager, reinstalled it and it still will not open when selected | 00:38 |
| Dr_willis | What disrto you running? | 00:38 |
| Kr|ptiX | gusty | 00:39 |
| Dr_willis | Kr|ptiX, how are you using 'rpm' at all? | 00:39 |
| genii | dr_willis: [20:34:20] <genii> Kr|ptiX: I get the feeling how you install things is to download some .deb file all the time, last time it was missing libs for the flash plugin. | 00:39 |
| * Dr_willis is totally confused then. :) | 00:39 | |
| genii | Dr_willis: He seems to refuse to use any kind of ubuntu/debian package manager | 00:39 |
| Dr_willis | Guess hes on his own then... | 00:40 |
| Dr_willis | if hes using rpm's instead of the .debs hes VERY much on his own. | 00:40 |
| === Kazuharu is now known as kiefer | ||
| kiefer | o_o @ KDE4 | 00:40 |
| Kr|ptiX | so i should be using debs files not rpms | 00:40 |
| kiefer | Just upgraded, looks so damn coo XD | 00:40 |
| Kr|ptiX | i didnt kno im a newb srry | 00:41 |
| flipstar | rpm is redhat or so | 00:41 |
| Dr_willis | Kr|ptiX, ubuntu uses the apt-get system, which uses debs. I got NO idea how you got the idea you should be using rpms. | 00:41 |
| Dr_willis | redhat/mandrake/so on are rpm based | 00:41 |
| genii | Kr|ptiX: Ubuntu uses .deb files and not .rpm files. Most things can be installed from a package manager like Adept or Synaptic in the graphical way, and with apt-get in the command line way | 00:41 |
| kiefer | Hey willis :p | 00:41 |
| Dr_willis | thats the 'core' differance in many of the disrtos.. | 00:41 |
| Kr|ptiX | oh k | 00:41 |
| genii | Kr|ptiX: Use the Adept program to install most things. When you cannot find what you need there (rarely) then find a .deb package which is for the correct Ubuntu version | 00:42 |

| Jsn | alright, i have read this line 5 times and can not figure out what they are talking about. does anyone know how to do this in the services manager | 00:52 |
| Jsn | Add knetworkmanager to the comma-separated list of applications to exclude from the session management (in the bottom of the window), and click Apply. | 00:52 |
| genii | Kr|ptiX: When you right-click on the knetwork icon in bottom right you should see a list of networks in range. If you don't see a list when you know there are some around, likely there is some entry for your usual connection in the file /etc/network/interfaces which makes knetworkmanager believe it is manually configured. | 00:52 |
| Shadow_mil | how you playing audio and video files? | 00:52 |
| Shadow_mil | oren: * | 00:52 |

| Shadow_mil | oren: what type of audio files you are playing? | 00:54 |
| Kr|ptiX | i think it fails to obtain a ip | 00:54 |

| crxyem | not sure about gdm | 01:20 |
| fignew | AMcBain: does lsmod | grep -i "ipw2200" say anything? | 01:21 |

| fignew | anyways... the wireless card is installed | 01:31 |
| fignew | just a matter of telling it what to connect to | 01:32 |
| AMcBain | Well that may be, but the default driver doesn't let me see wireless networks ... | 01:32 |
| fignew | AMcBain: orly? | 01:33 |
| AMcBain | Unless there is some program I'm missing that shows the networks ... | 01:33 |
| fignew | is knetworkmanager installed? | 01:33 |
| AMcBain | Seems to be. | 01:35 |
| AMcBain | I'm using the ethernet with it right now. | 01:35 |

| ar0nic | w32 packages, medibuntu, divx as wekk | 01:41 |
| ar0nic | 'well* | 01:41 |
| flipstar | ffmpeg codec..? | 01:41 |
| ar0nic | any codec i could find that i didnt already have i downloaded | 01:41 |
| ar0nic | ffmpeg i do have. | 01:41 |
| ar0nic | its included in the w32 codecs isnt it? | 01:42 |
| flipstar | nope | 01:42 |
| ar0nic | cant remember cause ive wowah' | 01:42 |
| flipstar | omg netsplit | 01:42 |
| ar0nic | is the person helping me still here | 01:43 |
| ar0nic | anyway ffmpeg is there | 01:43 |
| ar0nic | the only ones i havent installed yet are the mplayer essentials | 01:43 |
| flipstar | so no vid in vlc..? | 01:43 |
| ar0nic | kind of a noob and having problems doing it from the gui | 01:43 |
| ar0nic | no vid in vlc, mplayer, kaffiene\<--which sucks) xine | 01:44 |
| ar0nic | notta | 01:44 |
| ar0nic | they all do the same thing cept kaffiene which does nothing at all | 01:44 |
| AMcBain | heh, just like me! None of my programs will play DVDs ... (all xine related I think) | 01:44 |
| flipstar | btw what kind of video you try to play ? | 01:45 |
| ar0nic | avi | 01:45 |
| ar0nic | divx | 01:45 |
| flipstar | libxine1-ffmpeg you need then | 01:45 |
| ar0nic | where do i check to see all installed codecs | 01:46 |
| ar0nic | and also im having an issue using arc to extract the mplayer essecianels pack because of sadmin privledge | 01:47 |
| ar0nic | what would be the cli command | 01:48 |
| flipstar | depends on archive format | 01:48 |
| ar0nic | tar.bz2 | 01:49 |
| flipstar | then tar -xf <file> | 01:49 |
| ar0nic | its downloaded on the desktop and it has to be extracted to the codecs dir. | 01:50 |
| ar0nic | where can i find that program flipstar | 01:50 |
| ar0nic | ?? | 01:50 |
| ar0nic | not program im sorry package | 01:51 |
| ar0nic | the lipxine1-ffmpeg | 01:51 |
| genii | .tar.bz2 requires: tar -xjf name if you want different extract dir,: tar -xjf name -C /other/place | 01:51 |
| flipstar | type in konsole sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg | 01:51 |
| ar0nic | already have it installed | 01:52 |
| ar0nic | i thought i did.... | 01:52 |
| flipstar | maybe you installed too much codecs | 01:53 |
| ar0nic | flipstar thats what im thinking | 01:53 |
| ar0nic | what would be the minimum codecs i need and also what about removing the ones already on here? | 01:53 |
| ar0nic | do i delete those from the package manager? | 01:54 |
| flipstar | yep | 01:54 |
| ar0nic | what would be the bare package choice for you | 01:55 |
| ar0nic | i have a wide array of formats i watch...all from a windows box | 01:55 |
| linoss | anyone of a software application that records a phone conversation utilizing the internal modem on a PC? | 01:56 |
| wimpies | when I press the 'right' arrow key in xine my movie does not skip 7 seconds as it should but but returns to the kind of like the last keyframe. | 01:58 |
| ar0nic | dude there is a 1000 packages | 01:58 |
| flipstar | use filter function | 01:59 |
| ar0nic | the ones i have seem to be the ones i need | 02:01 |
| ar0nic | i have the ffmpeg codec library from medibuntu | 02:01 |
| ar0nic | and the win32 codec binaries | 02:01 |
| ForgeAus | um how do I make a user who can manage files with root-like priveleges | 02:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | add the new user to the admin group | 02:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | assuming you mean you want them to be able to use sudo | 02:04 |
| ForgeAus | you mean adm ? | 02:04 |
| ForgeAus | there is no admin group | 02:05 |
| ForgeAus | no I want them to be able to write to the place their home is mounted | 02:05 |
| ForgeAus | (note its not mounted under /home/<username> | 02:05 |
| ForgeAus | I put it in /mnt/and/ (which is on a different drive) | 02:05 |
| keeper | *sigh* i can't find anything on how to fix the problem I'm having | 02:06 |
| flipstar | in systemsettings>usermanagement>$username>edit>preveliges>administer the system maybe ? | 02:07 |
| Jucato | ForgeAus: there is an admin group. it's the sudoers group | 02:07 |
| keeper | is there a way to turn framebuffer off, other than running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? | 02:08 |
| flipstar | add it to blacklist .. | 02:08 |
| kgoetz | ForgeAus: where is their home, and why did you make it so they cant write to it? | 02:08 |
| ForgeAus | kogetz I didn't make it so they can't write to it | 02:09 |
| ForgeAus | but its on a mounted partition | 02:09 |
| kgoetz | where is it mounted from? | 02:10 |
| ForgeAus | um fstab I guess | 02:10 |
| kgoetz | ForgeAus: pastebin the output of `mount` | 02:10 |
| ForgeAus | its under /mnt/and/ | 02:10 |
| kgoetz | also pastebin the output of `ls -lh /mnt` and `ls -lh /mnt/and/` | 02:10 |

| kgoetz | i wouldnt expect user to be required | 02:30 |
| kgoetz | i'm supprised 'defaults' doesnt do it though | 02:30 |
| * ForgeAus shrugs | 02:30 | |
| keeper | you can set permissions with the mount cmd | 02:32 |

| ccarr013 | my kubuntu | 02:36 |
| keeper | do you remember what the errors were, dalton2345 ? | 02:36 |
| ccarr013 | don't start wifi | 02:36 |
| dalton2345 | it didnt say keeper | 02:37 |
| dalton2345 | just said 3 errors and reboot | 02:37 |
| ccarr013 | don't even recognize the wifi card | 02:37 |
| keeper | most likely it didn't download properly, or the cd is damaged , try downloading again and burn another cd, if possible | 02:37 |
| dalton2345 | keeper...the weirdest thing....i used that cd for another install and went well | 02:38 |
| kgoetz | !wifi | ccarr013 | 02:39 |

| billytwowilly | how do I make a directory readable/writeable recursively by everyone? | 02:39 |
| kgoetz | billytwowilly: chmod | 02:40 |
| === ronye is now known as RonPeC | ||
| billytwowilly | yah, chmod what though? | 02:40 |
| kgoetz | -R +o-rw or something | 02:40 |
| * kgoetz doesnt use letter notation | 02:40 | |
| ar0nic | flipstar ever heard of automatix | 02:41 |
| ar0nic | or anyone for that matter | 02:41 |
| kgoetz | !automatix | ar0nic | 02:41 |
| ubotu | ar0nic: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 02:41 |
| ForgeAus | hehe use 777 for full permissions | 02:41 |
| kgoetz | just dont... | 02:41 |
| ForgeAus | ie sudo chmod 777 /path/to/directory | 02:41 |
| ar0nic | well its worth a shot | 02:42 |
| ar0nic | nothing else has worked | 02:42 |
| billytwowilly | yah, I know about 777, I don't know how to specify recursive so all stuff under dir get same permissions | 02:42 |

| ^JSN | how do you join a workgroup on kubuntu? I see an option for a domain but not for a work group | 02:42 |
| ar0nic | i cannot for anything to get my players to play video | 02:42 |
| ForgeAus | billy use chmod --help | 02:42 |
| ForgeAus | that should tell you :) | 02:42 |
| ForgeAus | (note: kgoetz was right about the -R according to what chmod --help told me | 02:43 |
| keeper | yeah chmod -R a+rw ./ should set read and write access for all, recursivley in the current directory | 02:43 |
| ForgeAus | that doesn't help me with my winuser problem | 02:43 |
| kgoetz | ar0nic: sure its a codec thing, not an xorg/driver thing? | 02:43 |
| ForgeAus | I can't seem to chmod and/or chown the user directory | 02:44 |
| ForgeAus | probably a filesystem thing | 02:44 |
| ForgeAus | (ie cofs/ntfs instead of ext3) | 02:44 |
| billytwowilly | thanks | 02:44 |
| kgoetz | ForgeAus: what is cofs? | 02:44 |
| ForgeAus | hmm maybe I can fix that | 02:44 |
| ForgeAus | cofs = colinux file system | 02:44 |
| kgoetz | oh. | 02:44 |
| keeper | do you have permissions to chmod and/or chown ? | 02:44 |
| ForgeAus | um root does | 02:44 |
| ForgeAus | and even root can't change it | 02:45 |
| ForgeAus | well the command goes through without error but doesn't make the actual change | 02:45 |
| ar0nic | well eveything else works kgoetz | 02:45 |
| kgoetz | ar0nic: what is 'everything else'? | 02:45 |
| ar0nic | it identifies all video hardware properly | 02:45 |
| ForgeAus | it still doesn't make sense tho because root user can write to it | 02:45 |
| ForgeAus | problem is I can't (or don't want to?) set root user's home to be /mnt/and lol | 02:46 |
| ForgeAus | looks like thats about the only way to do it | 02:46 |
| ForgeAus | ok trying something else | 02:47 |

| kgoetz | ar0nic: what does 'everything else works' mean? | 02:48 |

| ar0nic | ive read every codec tutorial there is heh | 02:51 |
| kgoetz | ar0nic: can you pastebin `grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf` , `lsb_release -a` and `lspci |grep VGA` | 02:52 |
| kgoetz | arrrghhh: and x11vnc is running on the srever, and listening on an external interface? | 02:52 |
| ForgeAus | anyone here use mldonkey? | 02:53 |
| arrrghhh | kgoetz, yes. not sure what you mean by external interface, but if i was logged in i would be able to use it. i was working on it, and i rebooted it. now i can't vnc into it, but ssh/apache work. | 02:53 |
| ForgeAus | anyone know how to put my /.mldonkey in a place other than ~/ ? | 02:53 |
| ForgeAus | that way I dont need the winuser user | 02:53 |
| kgoetz | arrrghhh: odd. i dont know x11vnc at all, so i cant really help | 02:53 |

| arrrghhh | and kgoetz... how would it work with regular vnc? | 02:54 |
| ForgeAus | heeh I don't get why 7 short lines is considered a flood but anyway... | 02:54 |
| kgoetz | !tell ar0nic about pastebin | 02:54 |

| ForgeAus | arrrghhh yes I've seen that too and I still can't fathom it | 02:56 |
| keeper | oops, sorry about that kgoetz | 02:56 |
| ForgeAus | fignew what does the amount of users matter? | 02:56 |

| arrrghhh | so has anyone here used vnc to login to a machine remotely? seems pretty simple, setting it up was a snap. | 02:59 |

| yuri_ | k | 03:01 |
| yuri_ | ty | 03:01 |
| ^JSN | i mean with windows machines, for a small network you join a work group. for a large networks you join domains. all i see in kbuntu is domain | 03:02 |
| arrrghhh | ^JSN, what are you trying to do, file sharing with windows machines? | 03:02 |
| kgoetz | ubotu: no, cedega is cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega or ask the irc channel #cedega | 03:02 |
| ^JSN | yep | 03:03 |
| yuri_ | how i can change directory in console?... | 03:03 |
| arrrghhh | ^JSN, then there's no reason to connect to a workgroup. | 03:03 |
| arrrghhh | yuri_, cd | 03:03 |
| arrrghhh | !bash | yuri_ | 03:03 |
| ubotu | yuri_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 03:03 |
| ^JSN | arrghh: how do you do file shareing without being able to see the other computer on the LAN? | 03:04 |
| ForgeAus | JSN??? um I don't think thats a good idea | 03:05 |
| ForgeAus | but if your talkinga bout samba don't search by name use IP's instead | 03:06 |
| arrrghhh | ^JSN, did you go to remote places? | 03:06 |
| ^JSN | YES | 03:06 |
| ^JSN | sorry for the caps | 03:06 |
| arrrghhh | ForgeAus, and there's no need to do that either. | 03:06 |
| arrrghhh | ^JSN, when i went to my uncles house his computers just showed up in remote places... i dunno. | 03:06 |
| arrrghhh | ^JSN, you went to the "Samba Shares" icon right? | 03:07 |
| ^JSN | no i did now though and your right, it is there | 03:08 |
| ^JSN | what is the login authorization? i tried the username and password of my desktop and it's not letting me in | 03:09 |
| arrrghhh | ^JSN, i have no idea, that's created on your windows box that's sharing it. | 03:09 |
| ^JSN | well what would it be if you were trying to get onto another ubuntu box? | 03:10 |
| arrrghhh | ^JSN, i would assume the username/pass you use to login... if that's not working try creating another user on the windows box... my uncle had a dummy acct for that as i recall, but i could be wrong. | 03:11 |
| ^JSN | ok thanks | 03:12 |
| jerbear | does anyone know of a good OSD program to use in scripts (other than xosd)? | 03:14 |
| arrrghhh | so there's instructions on how to "VNC Server with Login Screen via GDM" but nothing with KDM... wtf... | 03:17 |
| some_dud | about how much ram does kde use ? | 03:20 |
| arrrghhh | some_dud, uh... that really depends on what you're doing. you can see how much it's using by going to kinfocenter and click memory. | 03:23 |
| some_dud | I have 83mbs of ram left, but it's using 64% for disk cache, so that's not to bad right ? | 03:24 |
| fignew | cache = good | 03:25 |
| spawn57 | hi folks, I dunno why knetworkmanager isn't showing my wireless connection. It shows it fine in my the network settings applet in control center though | 03:25 |
| some_dud | that's going to be over a gig of cache | 03:25 |
| fignew | some_dud: the more the better | 03:26 |
| fignew | cache is pretty much = free ram | 03:26 |
| fignew | if the kernel needs room for a program... it can erase the cache :) | 03:26 |
| some_dud | my firefox is just a little slow when I'm restoring it from the task bar | 03:26 |
| Jucato | nah, that's just firefox being naturally like that :) | 03:27 |

| keeper | can problems be caused by having framebuffer on as well as having it turned off ? | 03:37 |
| some_dud | I was thinking of using gnome, but I seem to hate gnome most of the time | 03:38 |
| keeper | oren, is there no sound at all, or just no sound when playing video files ? | 03:39 |

| majestic | hello,,I was wondering if someone can point me to the direction creating a raid 1 within the installation wizard? | 03:44 |
| arrrghhh | actually sound has never worked on this laptop with kubuntu. can someone help me? kmix is running and i thought it was an issue with it not having an available mixer or whatever, but it seems to be working... i have volume controls. | 03:45 |
| arrrghhh | and yes the volume is turned all the way up on both the laptop's manual control and kmix. | 03:46 |
| arrrghhh | anyone? keeper? lol | 03:48 |
| keeper | do you know if the drivers are installed ? | 03:48 |
| arrrghhh | i'm not even sure how to troubleshoot the problem. keeper i have no idea, with every kubuntu installation i've done i never had to install any drivers for sound. | 03:49 |
| keeper | same laptop each time? | 03:49 |
| arrrghhh | it looks like they are. keeper no, i've done a lot of installations of kubuntu. well, a lot for me at least. about 10 or so unique machines, and this is the only one i've had sound issues with. | 03:49 |
| majestic | hello,,I was wondering if someone can point me to the direction creating a raid 1 within the installation wizard? | 03:50 |

| arrrghhh | "WARNING: at /build/buildd/linux-source-2.6.22-2.6.22/fs/inotify.c:172 set_dentry_child_flags()" - i noticed a lot of these errors in dmesg. what do they mean? | 03:54 |
| leo_rockw | babeck: i only toyed w/ kde4, if i had the answer i would help you here :-P | 03:54 |
| babeck | leo_rockw: I wasn't certain how I felt about it until 4.0.1, but now I'm afraid there's no going back for me. | 03:55 |
| arrrghhh | i should check out 4.0.2. is there a lot of improvement on the configuration side? | 03:56 |
| manatatas | are there any screeenshots of newest kde? | 03:56 |
| leo_rockw | babeck: i have everything tunned up on my 3.5.9... i'm not ready to leave yet lol | 03:56 |
| leo_rockw | manatatas: the looks of 4.0.2 and 4.0.0 are basically the same. it's just less buggy | 03:57 |
| babeck | arrrghhh: Honestly, the configuration has gotten better, it's no where near 3.5. | 03:57 |
| arrrghhh | keeper, did that help? | 03:57 |
| manatatas | leo_rockw: where can i see it? | 03:57 |

| jerbear | anyone using hardy heron yet? how is it? | 03:58 |
| keeper | yeah, I'm just trying to work out what could be wrong | 03:58 |
| leo_rockw | babeck: give me my final release amarok 2! lol | 03:58 |
| arrrghhh | i think... lol | 03:58 |
| oscar | hi | 03:58 |
| Jucato | jerbear: #ubuntu+1 please (but it's still in alpha, almost beta) | 03:58 |
| arrrghhh | keeper, oh ok... yea i have no clue, i've never had to wrestle with sound on any kubuntu install. i've had to wrestle with video, but never sound. | 03:58 |
| leo_rockw | hey oscar | 03:59 |
| babeck | leo_rockw: You see the latest screenshots? It is starting to shape up pretty well. | 03:59 |
| leo_rockw | babeck: for amarok? i have it installed | 03:59 |
| babeck | leo_rockw: oh even better. how are you liking it? | 03:59 |
| keeper | arrrghhh, is there any sound if you run the program as root ? | 04:00 |
| leo_rockw | babeck: i can up a screenshot if you want to see it | 04:00 |
| arrrghhh | keeper, "the" program? kmix, or the program that is actually playing the sound? | 04:00 |
| leo_rockw | babeck: it's still very buggy (like, i would try to run it and it would crash) | 04:00 |
| babeck | that would be awesome | 04:00 |
| keeper | yeah ie. kdesu amarok | 04:01 |
| leo_rockw | babeck: like it happened right now lol: Amarok has crashed! We are terribly sorry about this :(But, all is not lost! Perhaps an upgrade is already available which fixes the problem. Please check your distribution's software repository. | 04:01 |
| arrrghhh | keeper, i did "sudo vlc" and dragged a video on to it. no sound. | 04:01 |
| babeck | leo_rockw: I like the part about an upgrade being available. lol | 04:02 |
| babeck | leo_rockw: you build it from svn? | 04:02 |
| leo_rockw | babeck: no, kubuntu repos | 04:02 |
| leo_rockw | babeck: same way i installed kde4 and koffice 2 | 04:02 |
| oscar | hi everybody, there is any command for check ir my xgl rendering is activated? | 04:03 |
| babeck | leo_rockw: Ah I think I may already have that. Does it look like this: http://amarok.kde.org/blog/archives/605-Nearing-first-alpha,-and-lots-of-cool-new-stuff.html | 04:04 |
| Jucato | not sure about xgl, but in general, it's "glxinfo | grep render" | 04:04 |
| keeper | just as a side note arrrghhh, use kdesu for running GUI programs rather than sudo, | 04:04 |
| oscar | I cannot run compiz on my kubuntu Gutsy | 04:04 |
| oscar | ok Jucato thanks I'l try | 04:04 |
| arrrghhh | keeper, i also tried vlc (as root) with some plain audio stuff. the progress bar moves, and if there's video it the video plays. and sudo vlc worked... i dunno. | 04:05 |
| leo_rockw | babeck: yeah, but mine has a huge sign on top saying "don't report bugs. pre-alpha means: we know it's unstable" | 04:05 |
| leo_rockw | babeck: http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/5783/amarok1ur2.png | 04:05 |
| arrrghhh | keeper, kdesu vlc just gave me the gui admin password screen. | 04:05 |
| oscar | glxinfo | grep render returns direct rendering "yes" | 04:06 |
| oscar | but i cannot initialize compiz | 04:06 |
| leo_rockw | oscar: why do you need xgl? | 04:06 |

| oscar | I am trying to activate compiz | 04:07 |
| leo_rockw | oscar: what video card? | 04:07 |
| arrrghhh | jeez amarok has a long way to go before it's final... | 04:07 |
| leo_rockw | arrrghhh: yup, def | 04:07 |
| oscar | Intel 945 | 04:07 |
| oscar | leo rockw: im trying the command compiz --replace | 04:08 |
| leo_rockw | oscar: oh, i was gonna say that both ati and nvidia provide aiglx | 04:08 |
| babeck | leo_rockw: that's what i've got, I've yet to fall in love with it yet. | 04:08 |
| basy | Hi, I'm looking for text editor that can do this: i have 200 lines in file, each 20 chacters and i want to cut lines 101 to 200 and past them to end of lines 1 to 100, so result 100 lines each 40chars... | 04:08 |
| oscar | it returns checking for Xgl: not present | 04:08 |
| arrrghhh | keeper, well what's strange is when i set my sound system to ALSA it just continually has the "restarting the sound system" window up, and it goes to 100% and then starts over. if i set it to "autodetect" it restarts the sound system no problem... | 04:08 |
| leo_rockw | basy: do a python script | 04:08 |
| StevenJ | I currently have a couple partions setup. 1ST Primary Partion is XP. 2ND Primary Partion is XP64. The next partion is an extended with 3 logical partions as root / swawp and /home directory. After installing Linux Mint (a build off kubuntu) the computer restarts but no grub was loaded. Any thoughts? | 04:09 |
| basy | leo_rockw: i have no experience :( | 04:09 |
| leo_rockw | basy: it's a good time to start learning :-D | 04:09 |
| oscar | I have ran compiz fusion using ubuntu | 04:09 |
| leo_rockw | basy: python is really not hard for people without programming experience | 04:09 |
| oscar | but now in KDE i can't activate it | 04:09 |
| basy | leo_rockw: how to start? | 04:10 |
| arrrghhh | StevenJ, have you tried supergrub? | 04:10 |
| StevenJ | arrrghhh, I keep reading about supergrub, but I downloaded and ran it and wasn't really to sure how it worked. | 04:10 |
| arrrghhh | linux mint is trash anyways... my that's just my opinion. | 04:10 |
| arrrghhh | StevenJ, it will attempt to fix grub... | 04:11 |
| StevenJ | arrrghhh, will it destroy my already functional boot.ini file on my windows partions? And/OR is there a way I can add Linux to my boot.ini on the windows machine? | 04:12 |
| oscar | leo rockw: i can see that i have activated indirect rendering and the composite extension | 04:12 |
| leo_rockw | basy: if you go to python.org there is a documentation link on the left | 04:12 |
| leo_rockw | basy: the guido von rossum manual is the most complete | 04:12 |
| arrrghhh | StevenJ, you HAVE TO use grub to load linux. do you really think microshaft would want you using it's bootloader to boot linux? at any rate, grub will let you choose all your windows installs just fine. | 04:12 |
| oscar | but, when konsole said: Starting kde-window-decorator... | 04:13 |
| arrrghhh | at least it always has for me. make sure they are all listed when it goes to install it over the windows bootloader. | 04:13 |
| StevenJ | LOL, true.. But people have said that it can be done.. | 04:13 |
| arrrghhh | StevenJ, it's possible, but grub does it for you. at least it always has for me like i said. | 04:13 |
| kgoetz | StevenJ: it wont touch your boot.ini - you should be able to chainload the windows bootloader from grub | 04:13 |
| leo_rockw | basy: you could get dive into python: http://www.diveintopython.org/index.html | 04:13 |
| arrrghhh | keeper, any other troubleshooting ideas? everything seems to be working, but there's simply no sound. | 04:13 |
| kgoetz | StevenJ: fwiw, your not allowed to use ntloader to boot other os's | 04:14 |
| oscar | "/usr/bin/compiz.real (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format" | 04:14 |
| StevenJ | kgoetz: "fwiw"? | 04:14 |
| arrrghhh | for what it's worth | 04:14 |

| StevenJ | Last question is bout partions.. Is the way I set it up sounds correct to you? 1st Primary XP 2nd Primary XP64 3rd Extended with 3 Logical Partions inside of it that are in the order of EXT3 "/", Swap, EXT3 "/home"? Or do you recommend something else? | 04:16 |
| StevenJ | about* | 04:16 |
| babeck | Ok, here's how you get Konsole to have transparency in KDE4 (for anyone that cares). If you have already opened konsole you must kill any instance of konsole you already have running (pkill konsole in one of the ttys) then alt+f2, enter konsole --enable-transparency. | 04:16 |

| ForgeAus | kgoetz StevenJ: fwiw, your not allowed to use ntloader to boot other os's ??? | 04:25 |
| ForgeAus | I'm not so sure thats true | 04:25 |
| ForgeAus | why wouldn't you be allowed? | 04:25 |
| arrrghhh | i'm wondering if it's the wifi here. i need to make myself a patch cable at work tomorrow. and ForgeAus, microshaft doesn't want you to. it's probably doable, but they don't want you to do it so they're gonna make it very difficult. | 04:25 |
| ForgeAus | the only reason i know of that ntloader can't boot linux is because it doesn't have a way to use a bootstring.... but you can use a bootsector image (like from using the dd command) | 04:26 |
| ForgeAus | what do you mean they don't want you to? | 04:26 |
| ForgeAus | what they wan't doesn't factor into it | 04:26 |
| arrrghhh | uhm... they don't want you to? microsoft doesn't want you to? | 04:26 |
| arrrghhh | well if they wanted you to it would be easy... that's my point. | 04:26 |
| ForgeAus | who say's it isn't easy? just make a disk dump of the boot sector and refer to it in boot.ini | 04:27 |
| ForgeAus | and voila | 04:27 |
| ForgeAus | thats not so difficult is it? | 04:27 |
| kgoetz | your welcome to, but i dont see why your going to bother tbh | 04:27 |
| kgoetz | seems like a waste of time | 04:27 |
| arrrghhh | yea i'm with kgoetz on this one. | 04:28 |
| ForgeAus | kgoetz I guess it might be... I don' t know, depends on what you need it for | 04:28 |
| arrrghhh | i mean grub did it all for me. why would i want to do more work just so i can use the microsoft boot loader? | 04:28 |
| ForgeAus | but I was just objecting to the whole "not allowed" thing | 04:28 |
| kgoetz | its not, but thats a seperate issue | 04:29 |
| ForgeAus | arrghhh what I don't understand is why you need 2 different boot loaders | 04:29 |
| ForgeAus | they're doing the same job just for different operating systems | 04:30 |
| keeper | !search partition | 04:30 |
| ubotu | Found: partitioning, ntfs, disks, fstab, uuid, partition, gparted, ntfs-3g, home, mount-#kubuntu | 04:30 |
| keeper | !tell keeper about partitioning | 04:31 |
| kgoetz | ForgeAus: you need two because one hasnt been updated since 1985 and only supports a small number of systems properly (microsofts), and one is contantly updated, and supports multiple os's | 04:31 |
| arrrghhh | ForgeAus, i use grub.... i don't need 2 bootloaders. | 04:32 |
| ForgeAus | kgoetz thats not entirely true Vista too has a bootloader, but yet still no support for boot strings | 04:32 |
| ForgeAus | arrrghhh how do you boot windows? (or isn't windows your other operating system?) | 04:32 |
| ForgeAus | generally one chains from grub to their windows boot loader... | 04:33 |
| ForgeAus | which means you are useing 2 | 04:33 |
| arrrghhh | i don't really boot windoze but i select it from grub... | 04:33 |
| ForgeAus | arrrghhh fine select an os from grub as your primary boot loader but if you want to boot another operating system from there mostly you chain to the other one right? | 04:34 |
| ForgeAus | really you should only need one | 04:34 |
| arrrghhh | meh | 04:34 |
| ForgeAus | (apparently according to microsoft they put some effort into making Vista's boot loader generic) | 04:35 |
| ForgeAus | but even if thats the case there will probably be nowhere to support a boot string... | 04:35 |
| arrrghhh | i haven't booted windows in ages, i don't even have it on my main computer anymore just this laptop for games. | 04:35 |
| mika__ | hi all | 04:36 |
| arrrghhh | hi mika__ | 04:38 |
| mika__ | arrrghhh ... hi I have problem with flash not having sound | 04:38 |
| arrrghhh | just adobe flash in web pages you mean? | 04:38 |
| mika__ | arrrghhh ... nope, installed flash_plugin-non free with adept | 04:39 |
| mika__ | (I'm on 64 bit system) so cant install from adobe website | 04:39 |
| arrrghhh | well that didn't answer my question exactly but OK. so you use firefox? | 04:39 |
| mika__ | ahh .. well youtube | 04:40 |
| arrrghhh | oh flash doesn't work with 64-bit. i heard you have to run a 32-bit browser... sorry | 04:40 |
| arrrghhh | i switched back to 32-bit mainly due to the flash issue. i can't believe adobe still has not released a 64-bit version... i figured adobe would be more on top of it. | 04:40 |
| mika__ | I see | 04:40 |
| arrrghhh | ja... sorry. run a 32-bit browser or go back to pure 32-bit. i didn't notice a difference in performance at all. until EVERYTHING is 64-bit, i don't think it really matters. | 04:41 |
| arrrghhh | reboot, brb. | 04:41 |
| mika__ | ok | 04:41 |
| arrrghhh | still no sound | 04:47 |
| arrrghhh | and why does kubuntu save all my open programs by default? i never asked it to do that, it just does. | 04:47 |
| ForgeAus | what do you mean by "save all your open programs by default" ? | 04:48 |
| ForgeAus | you mean session management? | 04:48 |
| arrrghhh | sure. like i restart... which never works on this machine for some reason... and when i boot back in, it reinstates all the programs i had open when i went to restart it. | 04:49 |
| ForgeAus | yeah it stores your session information, normally does so because it tries to recover to the same state if you have a crash or something like that | 04:51 |
| arrrghhh | yea for whatever reason whenever i restart this machine it fills the progress bar and just sits there forever. i just hold the power button until it turns off. if i shut it down, it turns off just fine. | 04:51 |
| ForgeAus | try pressing the enter key instead of turning it off | 04:52 |
| arrrghhh | can i turn that off? i want a fresh new session every time. | 04:52 |
| ForgeAus | um not sure, there probably is a way but I can't think where its set | 04:52 |
| arrrghhh | it doesn't do anything. i tried enter, ctrl-alt-del, ctrl-c, ctrl-x. nothing. | 04:52 |
| ForgeAus | probably in system-settings administration somewhere I guess | 04:53 |
| arrrghhh | does anyone know where the session management stuff is? stupid gnome asks you. | 04:53 |
| ForgeAus | Jucato would know if he were paying attention, he's probaly asleep or something... | 04:53 |

| ForgeAus | see :) | 04:54 |
| Jucato | I was about too until I got pinged | 04:54 |
| arrrghhh | ForgeAus, i found it. oh and you did too lol | 04:54 |
| ForgeAus | thanx Jucato | 04:54 |
| arrrghhh | indeed, thank you. now if i could only get sound working... | 04:55 |
| Jucato | arrrghhh: just a word of caution, once you start with a completely blank session, some apps that you might have thought were autostarted by default might not be running anymore | 04:55 |
| Jucato | (kmix, katapult, etc) | 04:55 |
| arrrghhh | Jucato, yea i ran into that problem before, i just put whatever i needed in autostart. thanks for mentioning that tho. | 04:55 |
| psilocyde | Hi folks, Broke my Wireless somehow on my laptop. Can anyone tell me how to get my network setting to default I.e. similar to after A fresh install? | 04:59 |
| psilocyde | Im running 7.10 | 04:59 |
| Daisuke_Ido | psilocyde: 2 things, was it being controlled by knetworkmanager originally | 05:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ? | 05:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and... did you go to manual configuration at some point? | 05:01 |
| psilocyde | Daisuke yes | 05:01 |
| psilocyde | yes on you sec ? | 05:01 |
| psilocyde | so yes x2 | 05:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | psilocyde: kdesu kate /etc/network/interfaces | 05:02 |
| StevenJ | Yea no luck with supergrub. It couldn't even boot the partition. | 05:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | psilocyde: and look for your wireless interface in there | 05:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | iface wlan0 or ath0 or eth1 or ra0... something like that | 05:04 |
| psilocyde | ok its on another install on this machine i would have to reboot | 05:04 |
| keeper | I'm not sure how to set up LVM partitions using the alternative cd - manual install, is there any related info or documentation on it ? | 05:04 |
| psilocyde | so what am i looking for? to see if its active? or... | 05:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | if it's in that file, remove it | 05:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that will give knetworkmanager control of the interface again | 05:05 |
| psilocyde | ah ok | 05:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and it should be back to normal | 05:05 |
| psilocyde | ok so /etc/network/interfaces and remove the entry for my eth card | 05:06 |
| Daisuke_Ido | for your wireless | 05:07 |
| Daisuke_Ido | whatever that happens to be | 05:07 |
| psilocyde | ok yes, thank you. will give it a go | 05:07 |
| Daisuke_Ido | best of luck, see you in a few | 05:07 |
| psilocyde | its the intel 3495 | 05:08 |
| psilocyde | if that matters | 05:08 |
| psilocyde | ok brb | 05:08 |
| mika__ | quick question ... what is the kde version of gdebi, or is there any ? | 05:09 |
| leo_rockw | mika__: gdebi-kde | 05:12 |
| foibles | hi there | 05:12 |
| foibles | im having trouble playing HD video formats | 05:12 |
| leo_rockw | hey foibles | 05:12 |
| foibles | they render somewhat pixellated | 05:13 |
| foibles | leo_rockw, hello there | 05:13 |
| leo_rockw | i'll be afk for a while | 05:13 |
| === leo_rockw is now known as leo_away | ||
| mika__ | ok thanks ... umm .. firefox flash still no sound (64 bit) | 05:14 |
| mika__ | bummer | 05:14 |
| foibles | is there a codec for gutsy missing that doesn't allow for the correct playing of HD media? | 05:16 |
| some_dud | when I install the server versin, and then kde from the net, the codecs work, but off the dvd, nope | 05:20 |
| keeper | if you have all the codecs installed, it could be your video drivers | 05:21 |
| keeper | what video card do you have, and what drivers do you have installed ? | 05:22 |
| User249 | I can't get X to start. I installed KDE 4 on my kubuntu machine to try by adding the launchpad repo. I used the same commands to uninstall as I used to install, but apparantly they were ambiguous and uninstalled parts of my KDE 3 as well. | 05:22 |
| StevenJ | Whats the difference between: kubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso and kubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso? | 05:23 |
| === [MA]yuriy is now known as yuriy | ||
| User249 | these packages were kdebase-bin, kdebase-workspace, kdebase-kde4, kdebase-runtime | 05:23 |
| User249 | i've reinstalled them, and nothing in the X11 log file looks bad, so i'm not sure what's missing | 05:23 |
| keeper | alternative is just a text based installer, wheras the desktop is the livecd + GUI installer | 05:24 |
| User249 | question: if you bork your KDE installation on Kubuntu, how can you revert it to default? | 05:24 |
| StevenJ | keeper, thank you very much. | 05:24 |
| awag22 | User249: click on the unbork button | 05:25 |
| keeper | User249, with or without reinstalling ? | 05:25 |
| User249 | without reinstalling | 05:25 |
| keeper | np StevenJ | 05:25 |
| keeper | what has gone wrong with your install, User249 ? | 05:26 |
| User249 | i installed KDE 4 and then went to uninstall it. i didn't realize some of the package names were ambiguous, since the site said they would be separated | 05:27 |
| StevenJ | Any recommendation on a fast server to download it from keeper? | 05:27 |
| User249 | i basically did this: apt-get install kdebase-bin kdebase-workspace kdebase-kde4 (followed by an install) | 05:27 |
| User249 | (followed by a remove, sorry) | 05:27 |
| StevenJ | I was trying the USC Santa Barbra, no bueno. And the torrent is going like 6K.. not good either. | 05:28 |
| keeper | StevenJ, just try to find a mirror as close to you as possible, sometimes your isp will host the image also | 05:28 |
| StevenJ | I'm with RR... if you happen to know if they have it.. That would be cool. Yea I tried the Santa Barbra server and was only pulling 23K | 05:29 |
| StevenJ | I'm here in California. | 05:30 |
| User249 | when I boot now it just takes me to a tty | 05:30 |
| StevenJ | Whats the difference between the CD and the DVD? | 05:31 |
| keeper | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors | 05:31 |
| StevenJ | 4Gbps sounds nice to me.. | 05:32 |
| StevenJ | Ty | 05:34 |
| foibles | what can i use to format a partition i have as ntfs | 05:35 |
| foibles | gparted doesn't seem to want to do the job for me | 05:35 |
| StevenJ | What happened with Gparted? | 05:36 |
| foibles | it doesn't have it available as an option | 05:36 |
| foibles | "ntfs" is greyed out | 05:36 |
| foibles | ive got 11 perfectly good gigs that i need to keep windows readable | 05:36 |
| StevenJ | Do you have any other partions? | 05:36 |
| foibles | yeah | 05:36 |
| StevenJ | Are you trying to create a new ntfs partion from unallocated space? Or are you trying to delete the NTFS partition? | 05:37 |
| User249 | well i found the problem | 05:38 |
| User249 | kdm was no longer installed | 05:38 |
| foibles | it actually already was ntfs | 05:38 |
| foibles | as a windows partition | 05:38 |
| foibles | but i reformatted it to ext3 | 05:38 |
| foibles | and i just want to put it back as ntfs | 05:38 |
| foibles | how would i delete it clean | 05:38 |
| StevenJ | You should be able to use Gparted to delete the partion. Then with the free unallocated space be able to create a new ntfs partion. Or just leave it blank and try to format it with a windows XP/Vista disk or 2000 if your still using that. | 05:39 |
| psilocyde | Daisuke_Ido: Awsome! thank you so much. Im Live and typing! | 05:39 |
| psilocyde | *awesome even, | 05:40 |
| psilocyde | thanks again | 05:41 |
| StevenJ | Did you try deleting the ext3 partion? | 05:41 |
| foibles | StevenJ, trying that out now | 05:41 |
| Daisuke_Ido | awesome :D | 05:43 |
| Daisuke_Ido | congratulations, glad that worked for you | 05:43 |
| psilocyde | yes, im very happy. Now i need to figure out my sound problems | 05:44 |
| psilocyde | I get very low sound. alsa seems to be busted | 05:44 |
| psilocyde | or something | 05:44 |
| foibles | gparted just does it uncannilly fast | 05:45 |
| foibles | like delete, bam! done | 05:45 |
| StevenJ | Well its not done until you hit apply... | 05:45 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. tell me about it, I had my share of sound problems | 05:45 |
| foibles | leads me to believe it really didn't do anything | 05:45 |
| foibles | from livecd it always takes a while | 05:45 |
| psilocyde | ya, | 05:45 |
| StevenJ | Did you hit apply though? | 05:45 |
| foibles | StevenJ, yes | 05:45 |
| mika__ | psilocyde ... got all working finally though .. | 05:46 |
| StevenJ | Did you got back and try to create your NTFS partion on the unallocated space left from deleting that ext3 partion? did it let you? | 05:46 |
| psilocyde | mika: nice | 05:46 |
| foibles | doing so right now | 05:46 |
| foibles | gah, i just had two red bulls | 05:46 |
| psilocyde | ive got an intel sound chip onboard | 05:46 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. what sort of sound problem do you have ? | 05:46 |
| foibles | i feel messed up | 05:46 |
| psilocyde | been a pain in the but | 05:46 |
| psilocyde | i get very low volume | 05:47 |
| StevenJ | Are you going to be loading XP or a Windows OS onto that partion you are creating.. Or is there already xp loaded and your trying to create a second ntfs partion? | 05:47 |
| psilocyde | alsa mixer is stuck on mute | 05:47 |
| foibles | its just going to be storage space | 05:47 |
| foibles | it was formerly my XP partition | 05:48 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. try recompiling latest alsa | 05:48 |
| foibles | but i don't need m$ anymore | 05:48 |
| foibles | and am making a full migration off dual boot | 05:48 |
| foibles | was having trouble getting fstab to recognize ext3, so im going back to ntfs | 05:48 |
| psilocyde | explain "recompile" please. Im a linux newb | 05:49 |
| psilocyde | or ill google | 05:49 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. let me see if I can get you a link | 05:49 |
| psilocyde | wonderful | 05:50 |
| foibles | StevenJ, yup its still greyed out | 05:54 |
| foibles | after deleting it | 05:54 |
| foibles | as is xfs | 05:54 |
| foibles | which would have been my next choice | 05:54 |
| StevenJ | The only other thing I can think of... | 05:54 |
| StevenJ | Is boot to XP.. | 05:54 |
| StevenJ | and see if you can delete the partition using the Disk Manager.. | 05:54 |
| StevenJ | And then formating it with NTFS | 05:55 |
| foibles | StevenJ, i think thats what i did for the other ntfs partition i made | 05:55 |
| foibles | but thats a real hassle | 05:55 |
| foibles | its so slow | 05:55 |
| StevenJ | or using a windows based 3rd party software such as Partion Magic or DriveCopyPro | 05:55 |
| StevenJ | Click "Quick Format" | 05:55 |
| StevenJ | then it will go faster.. | 05:55 |
| foibles | perhaps | 05:56 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 05:57 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. took a while to find that | 05:57 |
| StevenJ | Well sometimes the easier longer way is better then trying to figure out a new way that you don't even know if it will work. | 05:57 |
| psilocyde | ty so much, didnt seem long at all | 05:58 |
| StevenJ | Its wierd that Gparted didn't work for you the way you wanted to.. It usually works flawlessly for me. Did it even fully delete that ext3 partion even if it didn't let you format to a ntfs partion? | 05:58 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. I just recently installed kubuntu and 1st did not have sound at all | 05:58 |
| psilocyde | i have internet to distract me thanks to you :) | 05:58 |
| psilocyde | oh wait that was daiku. sorry daiku | 05:59 |
| StevenJ | You also want to check and see if there are any flags marked on it (if your still in gparted) sometimes there are flags marked that make it do certian things they may hinder what you really want to do with it. | 05:59 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. so esp that part which explains how to get & compile latest version of ALSA might work for you, | 05:59 |
| psilocyde | mika__ do you have the intel sound as well | 05:59 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. yes I have ... | 06:00 |
| psilocyde | ah cool | 06:00 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. I'm on 64bit gutsy | 06:00 |
| psilocyde | ah ok | 06:01 |
| StevenJ | mika__, out of curiousity, how does the 64 bit run compared to the 32 bit? | 06:01 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. if you're on 32bit should be easier to get flash working | 06:01 |
| psilocyde | oh good | 06:01 |
| StevenJ | Yea I don't believe flash even worked on 64bit XP the last time I was on it.. | 06:01 |
| StevenJ | If that helps you any... | 06:01 |
| mika__ | Stevenj .. honestly I cant tell much difference on performance | 06:02 |
| StevenJ | Ahh ok.. | 06:02 |
| mika__ | Stevenj .. however havent been running this for long ... just 2 days .. mostly trying to get sund working + flash | 06:02 |
| mika__ | Stevenj .. anyways, I managed to get flash working ok .. even with firefox (youtube) | 06:03 |
| StevenJ | is it adobes flash or some 3rd party? | 06:03 |
| mika__ | Stevenj .. installed flashplugin-non-free from ubuntu repos | 06:04 |
| StevenJ | ahh.. | 06:04 |
| psilocyde | mika__ i need a bit of hand holding here | 06:04 |
| psilocyde | could you walk me through it? | 06:05 |
| mika__ | psiloclyde .. you want to compile alsa right ? | 06:05 |
| psilocyde | yes | 06:05 |
| mika__ | psiloclyde .. are you familiarb with konsole ? | 06:06 |
| psilocyde | im in there | 06:06 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. did you download the source files yet ? | 06:06 |
| psilocyde | i have dl'd the kernal headers from the first link | 06:06 |
| psilocyde | tools and headers | 06:07 |
| psilocyde | so now i need to know what files from the ftp | 06:08 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. and did you install build-essential and other needed (sudo aptitude install build-essential libncurses-dev gettext linux-headers-`uname -) | 06:08 |
| psilocyde | yes | 06:08 |
| ar0nic | guys ive got hell of an issue with my media codecs and such, ive installed all nessicary players and codecs | 06:08 |
| ar0nic | and still get sound and no video | 06:08 |
| mika__ | ipsilocyde .. ok if you have done that ... get the source files from alsa site ... | 06:08 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. you can use wget also from konsole | 06:08 |
| ar0nic | i think i may of went package crazy but ive also noticed one more thing, when booting ubuntu for a split second it gives a very distorted screen then switches to the kubuntu loadscreen | 06:09 |
| psilocyde | theres where i need help. what packages from the alsa site | 06:09 |
| ar0nic | im going to try out envy although the system has my exact vid card recognized | 06:09 |
| psilocyde | there are many | 06:09 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. ok .. go to alsa website http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page | 06:10 |
| psilocyde | im sorry if im being thick | 06:10 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. on the top right you see latest versions .. | 06:10 |
| psilocyde | ok | 06:11 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. no problem :) | 06:11 |
| ar0nic | anyone anyone? | 06:11 |
| Ahmuck | kubuntu hardy channel? | 06:12 |
| ar0nic | is a distorted screen at bootup if only for a second an indication of bad drivers | 06:12 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. so you would need alsa-drive, alsa-lib and alsa-utils | 06:12 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. download those .. that hdaintel howto has pretty good instructions on how to compile them | 06:13 |
| psilocyde | ok done | 06:13 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. in konsole follow the instructions from howto site (first link I gave to you) | 06:14 |
| psilocyde | will do, working with that now thank you | 06:14 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. great | 06:14 |
| mika__ | psilocyde ... I need to go for a while, good luck with fixing the sound problem | 06:17 |
| psilocyde | thanks again, take care | 06:18 |
| mika__ | psilocyde .. nb | 06:18 |
| storbeck | Is sure is quiet on freenode tonight. | 06:20 |
| ar0nic | yes it is | 06:20 |
| ar0nic | how you feel about automatix storbeck | 06:21 |
| storbeck | What is it? | 06:21 |
| ar0nic | a media package installer | 06:21 |
| ar0nic | im having issue with not being able to play any video | 06:21 |
| ar0nic | sound is a ok | 06:21 |
| psilocyde | can anyone help where mika__ left off? | 06:21 |

| storbeck | I've never used a package installer :P | 06:21 |
| ar0nic | <--noob | 06:22 |
| psilocyde | <-----me2 | 06:22 |
| psilocyde | im recompiling the alsa drivers | 06:22 |
| ar0nic | but ive been all over the net for my issue | 06:22 |

| storbeck | w00t for netsplit | 06:23 |
| ForgeAus | whats the difference between purging and removing packages? | 06:23 |
| ForgeAus | and how do you reinstall a package with apt-get ? | 06:23 |
| === Kazuharu is now known as kiefer | ||
| prince_jammys | purging deletes configuration files, removing doesn't | 06:24 |
| prince_jammys | so if you remove and then reinstall, your old settings will still be there | 06:24 |
| psilocyde | says bash: cd: alsa-driver*: No such file or directory | 06:24 |
| ar0nic | him | 06:24 |
| ar0nic | hmm* | 06:24 |
| prince_jammys | ForgeAus: sudo apt-get install --reinstall package_name | 06:25 |
| ForgeAus | thanx prince :) | 06:25 |
| foibles | ok | 06:32 |
| foibles | whats wrong with this fstab line | 06:32 |
| foibles | UUID=4ABC7316BC72FBAF /media/hda1 ext3 defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 | 06:32 |
| foibles | this is not good and proper for me | 06:33 |
| foibles | as /media/hda1 is only accessable as root | 06:33 |
| === Kazuharu is now known as kiefer | ||
| foibles | anyone? | 06:34 |
| prince_jammys | it mounts properly, other than the permissions? | 06:35 |
| foibles | prince_jammys, yes | 06:35 |
| foibles | ubuntu sees it | 06:35 |
| prince_jammys | maybe uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=007 (if your uid is 1000) | 06:36 |
| foibles | prince_jammys, it is | 06:36 |
| foibles | how do i check again? | 06:36 |
| prince_jammys | echo $UID | 06:36 |
| foibles | yup | 06:37 |
| prince_jammys | that's what i use on my NTFS partition | 06:37 |
| foibles | prince_jammys, it was an ntfs | 06:37 |
| foibles | now its ext3 | 06:37 |
| foibles | would anything change for that, really? | 06:37 |
| prince_jammys | i don't know | 06:38 |
| prince_jammys | you could try those options and remount | 06:38 |
| ar0nic | for some reason after installing envy drivers i rebooted and it took me straigh to the console... | 06:38 |
| ere4si | !envy | 06:38 |
| ubotu | envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 06:38 |
| foibles | ar0nic, envy is a whack program | 06:38 |
| ar0nic | im havin an issue getting any videos to play] | 06:39 |
| ar0nic | sound is fine | 06:39 |
| ar0nic | everything else is not | 06:39 |
| ar0nic | and i notice some display when first booting ubuntu | 06:39 |
| ar0nic | display corruption | 06:40 |
| storbeck | This is taking longer to compile than a stage 1 gentoo install with all unsupported hardware | 06:40 |
| ar0nic | then it gives me the kubuntu logo then jumps over to a distorted screen then jumps back | 06:40 |
| ar0nic | and does this twice while loading | 06:41 |
| asobi | using nvidia? | 06:41 |
| ar0nic | ati | 06:41 |
| ar0nic | hey guys | 06:41 |
| ar0nic | im trying to load and im getting this message | 06:41 |
| ar0nic | no resume image, doing normal boot | 06:41 |
| ar0nic | then it takes me straight to my root login | 06:42 |
| ere4si | ar0nic, remove envy and use the resticted drivers manager then we can helop | 06:42 |
| ere4si | *help | 06:42 |
| ar0nic | ok but i cant get back into kubuntu | 06:42 |
| ar0nic | how do i load up the kde from console? | 06:42 |
| storbeck | ar0nic, login via text prompt and use startx | 06:42 |
| ar0nic | no screens found | 06:43 |
| ar0nic | i think i broke it with envy | 06:43 |
| ar0nic | fatal io error 104 | 06:43 |
| ar0nic | no devices detected =| | 06:43 |
| storbeck | lol, good luck | 06:43 |
| ar0nic | try safe graphics mode | 06:44 |
| ar0nic | then remove envy | 06:44 |
| ar0nic | then hopefully ill be back in | 06:44 |
| foibles | ar0nic, you have fubar'd your system | 06:44 |
| ar0nic | fuck it im goin to format and reinstall | 06:44 |
| foibles | envy is horrid | 06:44 |
| foibles | ar0nic, sorry that happened to you | 06:44 |
| ar0nic | ok well put yourself in my situation for a second bro | 06:44 |
| ar0nic | tell me what you would do | 06:44 |
| foibles | ar0nic, ive been where you are | 06:44 |
| ar0nic | you want to use this as a basic web and media box | 06:45 |
| ar0nic | all of my movies music etc is on my windows box | 06:45 |
| foibles | i just moved my stuff to safe space, then reformatted/reinstalled | 06:45 |
| ar0nic | ive got samba taken care of and i can share files | 06:45 |
| ar0nic | but none of my files work with the usual codec package installs | 06:45 |
| ar0nic | sound will work no video | 06:45 |
| foibles | ar0nic, were you having problems getting video card drivers to work the old fashioned way? | 06:45 |
| ar0nic | this is with almost every player | 06:45 |
| foibles | is the box you're using relatively new? | 06:46 |
| foibles | using kubuntu gutsy? | 06:46 |
| ar0nic | no foibles in fact it identified my card in a command someone gave me | 06:46 |
| ar0nic | i wish i could remember it | 06:46 |
| ar0nic | but it read it out what it is word for word | 06:46 |
| ar0nic | p4 | 06:46 |
| ar0nic | laptop | 06:46 |
| foibles | ar0nic, i always had an easier time getting my stuff to work with ubuntu, not kubuntu | 06:46 |
| foibles | and i installed the kubuntu-desktop packages after the fact | 06:47 |
| foibles | so you don't know the name of your video card? | 06:47 |
| ar0nic | no of course i do | 06:47 |
| ar0nic | raedon mobility 7500c | 06:47 |
| foibles | ar0nic, what is it | 06:47 |
| foibles | ati seems to have problems more often than not | 06:47 |
| ar0nic | but i used a command someone gave me and it out verbatim | 06:47 |
| foibles | ar0nic, try installing ubuntu rather than kubuntu | 06:48 |
| foibles | its easier to configure stuff | 06:48 |
| ar0nic | lspci |grep vga | 06:48 |
| ar0nic | heh im already midway thru a format | 06:48 |
| foibles | yep | 06:48 |
| ar0nic | under that it displayed the exact card in the pc | 06:48 |
| Daisuke_Ido | foibles: you didn't just recommend that he reformat to install ubuntu did you? | 06:48 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ubuntu-desktop | 06:48 |
| foibles | Daisuke_Ido, i said that once upon a time, thats what i did | 06:48 |
| ar0nic | so that would generally mean its got it configured properly | 06:48 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that's all that's needed | 06:48 |
| ar0nic | Daisuke_Ido? | 06:49 |
| ere4si | ar0nic, you don't need to reinstall - boot into recovery console - type dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choose vesa as the video driver - then reboot and remove envy | 06:49 |
| ar0nic | ive only had one issue | 06:49 |
| foibles | Daisuke_Ido, nay, he used envy and it fubar'd his system | 06:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ouch | 06:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ere4si has the answer then | 06:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | envy is evil. | 06:49 |
| foibles | it is | 06:49 |
| ar0nic | after i set vesa tho is it going to play my vids and stuff? | 06:50 |
| foibles | it messes up your system one way or another | 06:50 |
| foibles | ar0nic, yes | 06:50 |
| psilocyde | daisuku! | 06:50 |
| psilocyde | hi | 06:50 |
| psilocyde | lil help getting my sound card up and running? | 06:50 |
| psilocyde | i get low sound output | 06:50 |
| psilocyde | low volume that is | 06:50 |
| ar0nic | like i said guys i did a standard install and added all the packages you would need to play divx avi's and such but i would only get sound.. | 06:51 |
| psilocyde | i have recompiled alsa | 06:51 |
| ere4si | ar0nic, after you remove envy we'll get the vid card set up right | 06:51 |
| psilocyde | with the latest version | 06:51 |
| ar0nic | k | 06:51 |
| ar0nic | wherre is recovery console...? | 06:52 |
| ar0nic | sorry =x | 06:52 |
| psilocyde | now when i do a cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec i get a cat: /proc/asound/card0/codec#*: No such file or directory | 06:52 |
| ere4si | ar0nic, at the grub menu - the second option | 06:52 |
| ar0nic | so dont use the cd? | 06:53 |
| ere4si | no | 06:53 |
| ar0nic | got it | 06:53 |
| ar0nic | its loading | 06:53 |
| ere4si | k :) | 06:54 |
| ar0nic | auto detect? | 06:55 |
| ar0nic | or choose it my self? | 06:55 |
| ere4si | choose vesa ar0nic | 06:56 |
| foibles | ere4si, he has an ati video card | 06:56 |
| ere4si | and envy | 06:56 |
| ar0nic | default bus identifier? | 06:58 |
| ar0nic | ? | 06:58 |
| ar0nic | what about automatix i also installed that is that evil as well? | 06:58 |
| ar0nic | default bus identifer guys? | 06:58 |

| ar0nic | scanline heaven. lol it looks like shit | 07:02 |
| ar0nic | but im in | 07:02 |
| foibles | ar0nic, use the driver manager in kde console to load the proper video drivers for your card | 07:03 |
| foibles | or have you already tried that | 07:03 |
| ere4si | ar0nic, envy comes with a readme that tells how to uninstall it | 07:03 |
| ar0nic | havent.... | 07:03 |
| ar0nic | ive booted back into the kde | 07:03 |
| ar0nic | formatting. | 07:08 |
| ar0nic | apparently what im wanting to do is very easy and generally does it on its own and its not on my end...ive also went codec crazy so t hat couldnt help, apparently my vid card wasnt setup properly and then installed envy and nwo its fubard | 07:10 |
| ar0nic | after i redid the xorg.cfg the touchpad didnt work the vid was terrible | 07:10 |
| ar0nic | couldnt change resolution etc etc etc | 07:11 |

| cicero123 | i have a dell laptop running vista. i tried to load kubuntu on it last week but got a fatal grup error. i was told to use qparted to delete the linix partition but i cant get it to delete | 10:45 |

| cicero321 | when i try to delete the linux part it reads, " partition is mounted" | 10:54 |
| cicero321 | if i am guessing correctly i need to unmount the penquins and delete them, and then expand the ms partition | 10:57 |

| ForgeAus | possibly | 11:13 |
| cicero321 | sudo unmount /dev/sda5 | 11:13 |
| ForgeAus | it makes sense linux would be on an ext3 type partition | 11:13 |
| ForgeAus | yes | 11:14 |
| cicero321 | ForgeAus: command not found | 11:15 |
| === hrhansen is now known as hansen | ||
| ForgeAus | thats because you typed uNmount instead of umount | 11:20 |
| cicero321 | k | 11:20 |
| === Kohlrabi_ is now known as Kohlrabi | ||
| cicero321 | it zays not mounted, but it does show in qparted as active | 11:22 |
| cicero321 | it will now let me delete it | 11:22 |
| cicero321 | ForgeAus: delete the penguins? | 11:23 |
| cicero321 | sda 5-8 are ext and two linux swap files | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | cicero123, if you just run mount with no options it will show what is mounted | 11:24 |
| ForgeAus | cicero careful which partition your removing | 11:26 |
| ForgeAus | (or partiions) | 11:26 |
| === bluszcz_ is now known as bluszcz | ||

| cicero321 | yes the grup installer had a " catastrophic error" and i was told that i needed to use qparted to delete it and rerun the install | 11:27 |
| cicero321 | *grub | 11:27 |
| cicero321 | i got a microkernel error 58000 or something and then a black screen with grup error 17 | 11:28 |
| cicero321 | *grub | 11:28 |
| cicero321 | so i ran the live cd again and am using qparted to remove kubuntu and go back to how it was originally | 11:29 |
| cicero321 | a dell vista laptop with media select and fat 32 swap partitions | 11:30 |
| cicero321 | and then i want to try another live cd disk to repartion the laptop and put kubuntu on. | 11:30 |
| ForsakenSoul | can someone help me | 11:31 |
| cicero321 | i am so afraid of messing her laptop up. i didnt find out she hasnt done any backup to her laptop until i was already installing kubuntu | 11:31 |
| ForsakenSoul | my net doesn't seem to work in text mdoe | 11:31 |
| ForsakenSoul | mode | 11:31 |
| cicero321 | ForgeAus: okay i deleted the partition | 11:33 |
| cicero321 | i still have two linux swap files showing that it wont let me delete. are those for the live cd? | 11:33 |
| ForgeAus | no | 11:33 |
| ForgeAus | perhaps one is | 11:33 |
| ForgeAus | but I'd unmount all swaps if at all possible | 11:34 |
| ForgeAus | in fact umount -a I think is the command (you may or may not need to use sudo before the command depending on if you have privileges or not | 11:34 |
| ForgeAus | its best to keep just one swap partition | 11:34 |
| ForsakenSoul | can someone please help me .... i've curently messed up my system and i'm trying to install the desktop file again but in text mode my pc has no net | 11:36 |
| ForgeAus | forsaken that sonds bad | 11:37 |
| cicero321 | ForgeAus: it says that they arent mounted, but i cant get them to delet | 11:37 |
| ForgeAus | you can use the live cd to reinstall but that will give you a "Fresh" kubuntu | 11:37 |
| ForgeAus | (ie you'll loose any settings/files you had) | 11:37 |
| ForgeAus | what does it say when you try to delete them? | 11:38 |
| ForsakenSoul | ForgeAus any suggestions | 11:39 |
| ForsakenSoul | how i can start the eth0 in the text mode | 11:39 |
| ForsakenSoul | yeah i can reinstall but i've just installed it yesterday :D | 11:39 |
| cicero321 | there is no option in qparted to delete.it is " greyed" out | 11:39 |

| pucko- | de4snake, have you specified the 100dpi fonts before the 75dpi ones? | 11:46 |
| de4snake | pucko-: where do i do that? | 11:46 |
| cicero123 | ForgeAus: at this point i just want to get vista working on her computer. do ineed to set one of the ms partitions to active or can i just reboot with an two swap files? | 11:47 |
| de4snake | heres my mess in xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59575/ | 11:48 |
| sigma_1234 | what syntax should i use when searching for files in konqueror? | 11:48 |
| Jucato | syntax? | 11:49 |
| sigma_1234 | its some *. thing before the keyword. but i have forgotten it. if you dont use it it wont work | 11:50 |
| ForgeAus | cicero I'm having trouble with that you have 2 swap files | 11:50 |
| ForgeAus | first of all they're not files they're partitions if they're linux swap ones in qtparted | 11:51 |
| ForgeAus | second of all theres no need for more than one | 11:51 |
| icewaterman | is there a native tool to defragment fat32 on linux? | 11:52 |
| cicero321 | when i set up the install the first time it was interrupted, and so i installed it a second time and made a mess | 11:52 |
| cicero321 | ForgeAus: i am trying to undo the mess, and get vista running again, and hopefully retry. | 11:53 |
| pucko- | de4snake, i have no idea. looks ok to me. | 11:54 |
| de4snake | :( | 11:54 |
| cicero321 | ForgeAus: i am not used to laptop mouse controlpads. i got frustrated and started tapping it, and in the process the install stopped in the middle. | 11:55 |
| cicero123 | ForgeAus: so i restarted it and ended up with a mess | 11:57 |
| ForgeAus | cicero then why don't you use the vista setup and start clean with a single partition | 11:58 |
| kuser51 | i dowloaded and install the compiz fusion, why can,t activate? | 11:58 |
| cicero123 | because she didnt make a backup of her stuff | 11:58 |
| ForgeAus | vista has diskpart, it may not know what the partitions are (they'll show up as unknwon unless they're fat or ntfs) | 11:58 |
| cicero123 | and she is going to be prety mad | 11:58 |
| kuser51 | what i can do to run my compiz | 11:58 |
| ForgeAus | juyst remove all unknown partitions | 11:58 |
| cicero123 | ic | 11:58 |
| kuser51 | the csm is already...but i can't enabled or activate the compiz fusion | 11:59 |
| cicero123 | k | 11:59 |
| kuser51 | is any configuration start the new one.... | 11:59 |
| cicero123 | i am rebooting the laptop | 11:59 |
| ForgeAus | I still don't know how your going to grow and/or shrink the one you want vista on | 11:59 |
| cicero123 | :( | 11:59 |
| ForgeAus | ask in #windows they might know | 12:00 |
| ForgeAus | (or you could download hirens boot cd theres lots of partitioning tools on that) | 12:00 |
| cicero123 | hirens? | 12:00 |
| kuser51 | please help me to resolve my problem | 12:00 |
| jussi01 | kuser51: which gfx card? | 12:00 |
| kuser51 | nvidia | 12:00 |
| jussi01 | kuser51: have you followed the tutorial? | 12:01 |
| ForgeAus | yes do a search for it, (its kind of a win98 LiveCD with lotsa extra partitioning, diagnostics and so on tools) | 12:01 |
| jussi01 | !compiz | kuser51 | 12:01 |
| kuser51 | of course not | 12:01 |

| kuser51 | if video card can the effect | 12:01 |
| cicero123 | ForgeAus: k. how do i get to the visa diskpart? | 12:02 |
| ForgeAus | its built into vista setup (if its anything like XP's) | 12:02 |
| kuser51 | i mean the vdeo card configuration | 12:02 |
| jussi01 | kuser51: go follow the tutorial, if you have any probs, ask here then | 12:02 |
| cicero123 | ForgeAus:thank you for your help. i really appreciate it very much | 12:03 |
| cicero123 | ForgeAus: i cant find it. i only goes into the dell bios, or into grub error 17 | 12:13 |
| cicero123 | ForgeAus: wow. it jest went inot a psa+ pre-boot system analysis... | 12:15 |
| ForgeAus | cicero? does vista have a recovery console option? | 12:15 |
| ForgeAus | (to boot into a recovery console?) | 12:15 |
| ForgeAus | if so run the command fixboot with it | 12:16 |
| ForgeAus | this is more in the realm of #windows than #Kubuntu | 12:16 |
| ForgeAus | I'm not all that vista-savvy really | 12:17 |
| cicero123 | ForgeAus: it wont boot into anything but the hd (grub), cd player, nic card, or the system anylizer | 12:17 |
| ForgeAus | what did it used to do? | 12:17 |
| cicero123 | ForgeAus: load into vista | 12:17 |
| ForgeAus | well boot into the CD drive with a Vista CD | 12:17 |
| ForgeAus | and see what options it gives you, I'd be looking for a recovery console and to use the command fixboot if at all possible | 12:18 |
| cicero123 | ForgeAus: k | 12:18 |
| cicero123 | i have to wait until the duo core processor gets done testing itself. :( | 12:18 |

| mika__ | I cant get mic to work | 13:46 |
| mika__ | ... skype | 13:46 |
| zgmf-x20a | damn i havent been on kubuntu for maybe 5 months, but it should be available via adept | 13:46 |
| mika__ | it was working yesterday | 13:46 |
| pjoter | i just tried the live cd heh | 13:46 |
| pushax | de4dsnake: have you tried to st it at 1 to see if the lowest value clears the rpoblems? then try the highest value to see if you can force it to trip to base value | 13:46 |
| jpatrick | pjoter: see the private messages from ubotu | 13:46 |
| zgmf-x20a | make sure the repos are checked off though | 13:46 |
| pjoter | hey thx jpatrick yea | 13:46 |
| pushax | de4dsnake: ...have you tried to set... I meant | 13:47 |
| mika__ | jpatrick .. hi, any ideas for making mic work again | 13:47 |
| pjoter | but they fib a little on appdb as zgmf-x20a told me | 13:47 |
| zgmf-x20a | pjoter: you may have better luck, i think alot of the game issues where attributed to hardware | 13:47 |
| de4dsnake | pushax: 1 desktop in setting should make it to 4 icons. 2 desktop 8 icons as each desktop has got 4 viewports (4 sides of compiz cube) | 13:47 |
| jpatrick | mika__: check the settings in kmix | 13:47 |
| zgmf-x20a | pjoter: however software should have worked, but ...... doesnt.... lol. seems like one of those hit or miss linux type mysteries.... hahaha | 13:48 |
| pjoter | darn it to hell | 13:48 |
| zgmf-x20a | hahahahahaha | 13:48 |
| pjoter | lol | 13:48 |
| de4dsnake | pushax: so the setting should b at 1 desktop, but instead after reboot i get 8. Probably a bug or malconfiguration. When i set it to to and then back to one, it fixes itself. | 13:49 |
| mika__ | jpatrick .. have done that .. looks ok to me .. although when comparing to kmix snapshot on skype page there is no button (i guess mute) on mic slider | 13:49 |
| pjoter | you mean it's technically not such a big thing building such an app-layer? | 13:49 |
| zgmf-x20a | pjoter: well dont get your hopes up yet man, havent tried it in over a month due to my near brain hemoraging the first time trying it.... lol. so maybe the newer updates may solve problems for apps your working with | 13:49 |
| pjoter | no i won't | 13:49 |
| pjoter | i like kubuntu already | 13:49 |
| jpatrick | mika__: make sure it's set to record | 13:49 |
| mika__ | jpatrick ... what indicates that ? | 13:49 |
| jpatrick | mika__: the red button in "Input" in kmix | 13:50 |
| pushax | de4dsnake: I don't have compiz installed so I can't search for the config file. mayeb you can search for contents that will hold the real value | 13:50 |
| zgmf-x20a | pjoter: naw its simple as anything to install. personally i gave up after trying all the things on appdb said to do, and many many reinstalls and reconfigures and i got squat, so i rely on the classic dual boot method | 13:50 |
| zgmf-x20a | unfortunately.... | 13:50 |
| pjoter | mh ok | 13:51 |
| mika__ | jpatrick ... I have 3 capture bars under input tab | 13:51 |
| zgmf-x20a | kinda hate how i have to rely on windoze for my gaming.... and things to just work when i need them too, but hey, cant change that | 13:51 |
| pjoter | wine emulates the whole windows API i guess? is this even possible ? | 13:51 |
| pushax | de4dsnake: is the most you can have 8? Maybe like you say, a bug is causing a difference of 1 | 13:51 |
| pjoter | or always doomed to be an bricolage thing | 13:51 |
| de4dsnake | pushax: well if i set it to 3 ill have 8 instead of 12 | 13:52 |
| pushax | hehhe | 13:52 |
| pushax | de4dsnake: wish ya luck. try googling the prob? | 13:52 |
| zgmf-x20a | pjoter: lol, well it is still in developement, it has ALOT of promise, and does emulate how windows works pretty well, but i dunno, personally my experience was bad, but some others it works, thus was my conclusion of hardware based discrepencies | 13:53 |
| de4dsnake | but as is said, if i go from 2 or 3 or more back to one it gets fixed | 13:53 |
| pjoter | ok i will check it out | 13:53 |
| pjoter | thx | 13:53 |
| pjoter | are there anti virus scanners for linux too? | 13:53 |
| pushax | de4dsnake: restart now that you pass that command before. mayeb you did have a ownership issue on your files | 13:53 |
| zgmf-x20a | pjoter: no problem man. i say give it a run just so you can experience it see if it works, and if so, gold, if not, wait it out for the development to get on the issues | 13:54 |
| pjoter | yea | 13:54 |
| de4dsnake | pushax: ok ill try, brb | 13:54 |
| pushax | de4dsnake: you could also try to purge the package in question and reinstall it, therefore new start values. | 13:54 |
| zgmf-x20a | anyways, so anyone a kontact user here? | 13:54 |
| LadyNikon | i used to be zgmf-x20a | 13:55 |
| LadyNikon | then i switched to using google calendar | 13:55 |
| pushax | de4dsnake: in Adept you can purge the installs. | 13:55 |
| LadyNikon | zgmf-x20a: whats the issue? | 13:55 |
| zgmf-x20a | LadyNikon: cool, do you remeber how to get sms messaging up and running on it? | 13:55 |
| LadyNikon | ah.. never used that feature sorry. | 13:55 |
| zgmf-x20a | i keep getting thise error: There is no application set which could be executed. Please go to the settings dialog and configure one. | 13:55 |
| zgmf-x20a | awwwwwwww | 13:55 |
| zgmf-x20a | ok ok, thanks though. anyone else? | 13:56 |
| zgmf-x20a | i have been surfing the settings, but cant find what im supposed to configure! | 13:56 |
| jpatrick | !virus | pushax | 13:57 |
| ubotu | pushax: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 13:57 |
| jpatrick | pjoter: ^^ sorry | 13:57 |
| pjoter | hehe | 13:57 |
| pjoter | hey basically linux is the concrete, nail and screw metal alloy and raw glass etc from which the doors and windows and walls are build (KDE/GNOME) and the application programmer uses those already assembled things to build houses and huts right?? | 13:57 |
| Death_Syn | Hi! | 13:57 |
| genii | I think the !virus factoid needs updating, there are over 800 viruses that are for linux | 13:58 |
| Death_Syn | Since I installed 4.0.2, my 3.5.9 desktops seem to have the / directory in them, I see all the directories under / on the desktop. Googling hasn't been successful in finding a fix for this so far. Anyone know how I can fix? | 13:58 |
| Death_Syn | running gutsy | 13:58 |
| zgmf-x20a | pjoter: linux is the kernal, GNU is everything that makes it work | 13:58 |
| zgmf-x20a | i think | 13:58 |
| zgmf-x20a | lol | 13:58 |
| pjoter | but that's too technical to imagine for me | 13:58 |
| de4dsnake | pushax: it didnt fix it | 13:59 |
| mika__ | jpatrick .. remember were there some trick you renamed some alsa conf file and restarted alsa | 13:59 |
| jpatrick | !sound | 13:59 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 13:59 |
| de4dsnake | pushax: i try asking in compiz channel | 13:59 |
| pjoter | !virus | pjoter | 14:00 |
| pushax | de4dsnake: ok. maybe you can purge the package in question. other words use adept to 'purge' then delete the directory withthe settings in your home dir. then reinstall. therefore getting a clean install of that item | 14:00 |
| Signil | has any1 tried hotwire? | 14:00 |
| pushax | de4dsnake: do that as last resort though. Maybe there is a simple answer | 14:00 |
| mika__ | my sound is working .. only microphone doesnt | 14:01 |
| pjoter | hey what is ubotu programmed in? | 14:01 |
| pushax | new skype version out today! | 14:01 |
| pushax | pjoter: assemly and 'c' | 14:02 |
| pjoter | assembly ?? ^^ | 14:02 |
| pushax | pjoter: assembly and 'c' | 14:02 |
| pjoter | really | 14:02 |
| pjoter | why | 14:02 |
| pjoter | kinda hardcore | 14:02 |
| pjoter | !enter | pjoter | 14:02 |
| pushax | pjoter: that's the kernel, but it seems python, java, is popular. | 14:03 |
| Signil | has any1 tried hotwire? | 14:03 |
| pjoter | hey hold on i meant the bot! not ubuntu! | 14:03 |
| jpatrick | !msgthebot | pjoter | 14:03 |
| ubotu | pjoter: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotwo Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 14:03 |
| pjoter | the uboto bot | 14:03 |
| pjoter | hehe | 14:03 |
| pushax | pjoter: the kernel up until recently was pure assembly, but they change it to C and small amount of asm. | 14:04 |

| pjoter | yea | 14:06 |
| pjoter | mi espanol no es muy bien jose, visita kubuntu-es | 14:07 |
| pjoter | pushax perhaps! i would be interested | 14:08 |
| pjoter | is it a client side bot jpatrick or is it a whole little irc client itself? | 14:08 |
| Death_Syn | guh | 14:08 |
| Death_Syn | Since I installed kde 4.0.2 ppa packages on gutsy, my 3.5.9 desktops seem to have the / directory in them, I see all the directories under / on the desktop. Googling hasn't been successful in finding a fix for this so far. Anyone know how I can fix? | 14:09 |
| Death_Syn | a dude in #kde told me its a kubuntu problem, before I even mentioned kubuntu | 14:09 |
| Death_Syn | and sent me here :/ | 14:09 |
| jpatrick | pjoter: it's a supybot | 14:10 |

| pjoter | i was in a bot channel once and remember the name | 14:11 |
| jpatrick | pjoter: http://supybot.com/ | 14:11 |
| zgmf-x20a | ARGH nothng in the help files, or on the site.... lol. its a mgical function apparently.... so anyone using kontact, seriously, there has to be someone who knows how to configure this function | 14:11 |
| pjoter | ok phyton then | 14:11 |
| pjoter | yea thx | 14:11 |
| Death_Syn | zgmf-x20a: which function? | 14:11 |
| jpatrick | pjoter: but let's take the offtopic discussion in #kubuntu-offtopic :) | 14:11 |
| pjoter | heh ok | 14:12 |
| zgmf-x20a | beside a contact when you input a number, it has SMS in brackets to send a message, but when looking into configure to configure it, i cant find options for it | 14:12 |
| pushax | What's the best WYSIWYG HTML editor on linux? | 14:12 |
| Death_Syn | zgmf-x20a: ooh | 14:12 |
| Death_Syn | let me try that | 14:12 |
| zgmf-x20a | it will ouptu this message :There is no application set which could be executed. Please go to the settings dialog and configure one. | 14:13 |
| Death_Syn | quanta maybe | 14:13 |
| pjoter | would you propose using an wysiwyg editor even if you know how to do it by hand pushax ? | 14:13 |
| pushax | pjoter: how did I know someone was going to say that.... or notepad | 14:13 |
| pjoter | hey hehe no i was really wondering | 14:13 |
| pjoter | i thought of all those big and expensive enterprise products out there like dreamweaver and there must be some point | 14:14 |
| pushax | pjoter: tools. man, tools. If I do wood work I 'm not going to use a knife to plane... hhehhe.. | 14:14 |
| pjoter | but then i wondered what they actually do | 14:14 |
| Death_Syn | zgmf-x20a: Settings / Configure Kontact / Contacts / General/ General/ Script-Hooks SMS Test: | 14:14 |
| Death_Syn | er Text | 14:14 |
| Death_Syn | now | 14:14 |
| Death_Syn | as to what program to put in there, I don't know | 14:14 |
| Death_Syn | but that's where to put it | 14:14 |
| pjoter | mh interesting ok. but dreamweaver e.g. is it already reliable in terms of proper code etc? it wasn't some time ago as i remember | 14:14 |
| pushax | pjoter: the worlds getting too complicated. so it's easier to use an editor. Least then you can see fast what's going on, even though you can type the whole lot in yourself. | 14:15 |
| zgmf-x20a | Death_Syn: ahhhhh yes yes, i was looking at that but i thought it was possibley for an automated script, like an intro to every sms text message sent | 14:15 |
| zgmf-x20a | so that is actually where to put the script, dang thats alitle troublesome | 14:16 |
| zgmf-x20a | lol | 14:16 |
| pjoter | mh the world really gets completed and complicated... i also thought that once | 14:16 |
| Death_Syn | zgmf-x20a: well, for Fax, mine at least includes a push to kdeprintfax, that looks like it would actually submit a fax | 14:16 |
| zgmf-x20a | Death_Syn: yes i have the same configuration up on mine | 14:16 |
| pjoter | hey that was interesting to me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity ! last off topic post though ;) | 14:16 |
| pushax | cheers all | 14:16 |
| Death_Syn | reminds me, need to start pushing vcards from my winphone to my kontact | 14:17 |
| Death_Syn | i sorely miss my treo | 14:17 |
| Death_Syn | wish I could get my / directory off my desktop | 14:17 |
| Death_Syn | seems to be on every user's desktop on the system, too | 14:18 |
| Death_Syn | I'm afraid to install kde 4.0.2 on any more of my boxes until I can get rid of this | 14:18 |

| psilocyde | hi folks, I need help with my audio.I did a fresh install of kubuntu gutsy and was treated to verry low audio volume. I asked around and did some googling and i discovered it was a known bug with my on-board intel based sound hardware. I found this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto and stumbled through recompiling my alsa drivers and rebooted. still no sopund. Thats as far as my limited linux knowhowedness h | 14:45 |
| psilocyde | as gotten me. | 14:45 |
| zgmf-x20a | psilocyde: can you switch to alsa? | 14:54 |

| genii | psilocyde: Did you open kmix to make sure things were not muted, like the PCM input? | 14:56 |
| zgmf-x20a | genii: right right i saw that, but has he disabled the ability to go into the alsa options? i had the same problem, went into alsa found the meter was set to lower 20% by default, uped it and boom, problem solved | 14:57 |
| zgmf-x20a | on both alsa and hda intel | 14:57 |
| zgmf-x20a | psilocyde: o right, kubuntu. lol im on ubuntu at the moment. yes, kmix, try that just like genii said | 14:58 |

| chinamann | anyone here to explain how to use KDE 4.0.2? | 15:41 |
| jussi01 | chinamann: ask in #kubuntu-kde4 :) | 15:42 |

| fuhreal | Anyone know where the KDE theme manager can be found? I found all the styles under "System settings" but can't find anything saying "themes" | 15:44 |
| jpatrick | fuhreal: kde-look.org | 15:44 |
| fuhreal | jpatrick: Yes i found something there.... and its a theme ... so i right clicked the theme in dolpphin and installed it... now i can't find it | 15:45 |
| jerbear | is there a way to have the keyring not prompt me for my password everytime networkmanager connects? or maybe to have it use kwallet instead? | 15:45 |
| jpatrick | fuhreal: what tpye of theme is it? | 15:46 |
| fuhreal | jpatrick: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Thinking+about+blue?content=26392 | 15:48 |
| Jucato | fuhreal: I'd recommend staying away from "KDE Theme Manager" mostly because it sucks... | 15:48 |
| emilsedgh | Jucato: it should be removed | 15:48 |
| fuhreal | :| | 15:48 |
| Jucato | hm.. let me check what kind of theme this is | 15:49 |
| Jucato | emilsedgh: it's good for 2 things though | 15:49 |
| fuhreal | some of those beryl themes are nice ... but i take it i'd have to install beryl | 15:49 |
| Jucato | beryl or compiz-fusion. yet | 15:49 |
| emilsedgh | Jucato: i never found a usage for it | 15:49 |
| Jucato | emilsedgh: easy saving and restoring of already existing/installed themes | 15:49 |
| jerbear | why does vpn connections through network-manager not use kwallet? | 15:49 |
| emilsedgh | maybe | 15:50 |
| Jucato | so that you can save your favorite settings and then restore it after experimenting | 15:50 |

| * jpatrick thinks he senses something coming up | 15:52 | |
| emilsedgh | Jucato: lets hope that it will be improved, in KDE 4.5 probably :D | 15:52 |
| jerbear | why does vpn connections through network-manager not use kwallet? | 15:53 |
| jussi01 | !repeat | jerbear | 15:54 |
| ubotu | jerbear: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com http://wiki.ubuntu.com http://www.ubuntuforums.org or http://www.kubuntuforums.net while you wait. Also see !patience | 15:54 |
| Jucato | emilsedgh: well, a lot has to happen first on many different fronts before KDE's theme management can be as easy as GNOME's but still as powerful... (and one of them actually involves kde-look.org cleaning up its mislabelled themes) | 15:54 |
| emilsedgh | Jucato: well, i like the current things...i have exactly no problem with current | 15:54 |
| jerbear | does anyone use vpn connections? | 15:54 |
| Jucato | emilsedgh: you don't. you know what you're doing. but you probably have never or very rarely encountered user support questions about installing this or that theme from kde-look, only to find out that it's not in the right category, so that the instructions that would normally work don't | 15:55 |
| emilsedgh | Jucato: kde-look is just good for preview's | 15:56 |
| emilsedgh | Jucato: the best way is to widget styles from package manager and other things using a HotNewStuff | 15:56 |
| emilsedgh | to install | 15:56 |
| Jucato | um.. emilsedgh... you can't install widget styles through khotnewstuff... and not all styles are always available fro package managers | 15:56 |
| emilsedgh | Jucato: then i would change my distro ;) | 15:57 |
| emilsedgh | Jucato: but reall,y, KDE4 hasnt many 'look' things.just Oxygen widget style and windeco | 15:58 |
| emilsedgh | and icons | 15:58 |
| emilsedgh | others are too ugly | 15:58 |
| Jucato | emilsedgh: if that's your criteria. sure... you're not my intended audience | 15:59 |

| Tw|sT | PMref would be a killer addition to the repos. I wish the dood who made it would build a better setup for it though... but it's a great Cuseeme compatibile reflector, and it works with NAT. | 16:50 |
| oxi_ | thanks | 16:50 |

| frank_ | lovre: well it 'should' not. but you can backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf just in case | 16:50 |
| Tw|sT | I've been looking for a simple way to set it up as a service, but their service installer doesn't work correctly for me. | 16:50 |
| Tw|sT | Not to mention, the PMref service installer is only written for Win32 & Mac... which means I'll have to adapt it to linux. | 16:51 |

| astan | frank_: i'd like to do it to test something. i'm having an issue with my RAID controller, and a couple of people with the same problem have said that using XFS instead of EXT3 seemed to not trigger the problem.. probably due to different disk access patter.. i'd like to test if that's true for me too. | 16:55 |
| astan | but the installer supports installing to to XFS? | 16:56 |

| astan | frank_: hm. ok. | 16:56 |
| lovre | frank_: i didnt try it yet.. The monitor is VGA but the output is DVI, so i need an adapter.... | 16:58 |

| ar0nic | 7.10 | 18:28 |
| ar0nic | fresh install | 18:28 |
| ar0nic | my first install went fine, configured everything perfectly i could not get any video thru any player with all needed codecs | 18:29 |
| krzysiek | I have a little problem with rmvb. Can anybody help me?? | 18:29 |
| ar0nic | so i tried removing all packages and using automatix | 18:29 |
| jussi01 | ar0nic: on this install???? | 18:29 |
| ar0nic | i then purged automatix and tried envy | 18:29 |
| ar0nic | then had to format | 18:29 |
| ar0nic | no | 18:29 |
| ar0nic | this is a clean install | 18:30 |
| jussi01 | ok, dont use those scripts. | 18:30 |
| ar0nic | but messing with the xorg.conf has made my touchpad not work | 18:30 |
| jussi01 | now, what exactly happened with that error it just gave you? | 18:30 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | automatix and envy? both have been obsolete for at least a year :\ | 18:30 |
| ubuntu | so i cant acess my /etc/fstab cause i cant acess my hd... | 18:31 |
| ar0nic | it hasnt gave me an error jussi01..when i booted up kubuntu it tried to acces the terminal program | 18:31 |
| jussi01 | ar0nic: in order to help you, I need you to follow what I say, and report clearly to me the errors that it gives - if you do other things while im talking to you, it may mess up what I am attempting | 18:31 |
| ubuntu | and i also dont know how to fix my windows install...=/ | 18:31 |
| daSkreecH | ubuntu: ok type mkdir drive | 18:32 |
| ubuntu | i think this is a boot issue btw | 18:32 |
| ar0nic | my touchpad doesnt work so i canceled the terminal program attempt | 18:32 |
| ar0nic | and now im in the gui with no working touchpad | 18:32 |
| jussi01 | ar0nic: do you have mouse access at all? | 18:32 |
| ubuntu | mkdir drive returns nothing | 18:32 |
| ar0nic | unfornutely no. | 18:32 |
| ar0nic | my touch pad was working just fine | 18:33 |
| jussi01 | ubuntu: when a unix/linux comand is successful it usually returns nothing | 18:33 |
| ubuntu | mkdir: cannot create directory `drive': File exists | 18:33 |
| ubuntu | -i tried again | 18:33 |
| ar0nic | then it wanted to load the terminal and it quit working... | 18:33 |
| ar0nic | should i go back to the terminal and reconfigure xorg.conf again for the mouse and keyboard ? | 18:33 |
| jussi01 | ar0nic: please try restarting x for me, (ctrl+alt+backspace then ctrl+e) | 18:34 |
| ubuntu | everytime i try to acess the hds it says it refused uid 999 | 18:34 |
| ubuntu | >.< | 18:34 |
| ar0nic | rebooted x | 18:34 |
| ubuntu | i tried acessing through sudo konqueror(dont know if this helps but...) and nothing either | 18:35 |
| ar0nic | ok when i reboot i immediantly get a kdesudo window | 18:35 |
| jussi01 | ar0nic: put your password in | 18:35 |
| krzysiek | I have a little problem with rmvb. Can anybody help me?? | 18:35 |
| ar0nic | it wants admin privledges and t he command is konsole -session (series of #'s and letters) --noclose | 18:35 |
| ubuntu | seems that the only solution so far is reinstall... BUT, im still worried about my windows instalation, AND will the same thing happen again when i update it al over... | 18:35 |
| ar0nic | so load back into terminal? | 18:36 |
| ar0nic | it opened a shell konsole.. jussi01 | 18:36 |

| ubuntu | no use | 19:39 |
| ubuntu | errors | 19:39 |
| hokatichenci | So I've got this brand new system that I put kubuntu 7.10 on, I'm trying to get my monitor working, but the System Settings administration mode is completely broken | 19:40 |
| hokatichenci | Is this a known issue? Seems pretty major for the administration mode to completely break... | 19:41 |
| nosrednaekim | hokatichenci: is this not the primary (first created) user? | 19:42 |
| hokatichenci | no, it is the primary user, this is a fresh install | 19:44 |
| hokatichenci | Installed the system, apt-get update + upgrade, reboot = admin mode totally borked | 19:44 |
| nosrednaekim | hokatichenci: try tunning "kdesudo kcmserver displayconfig" | 19:45 |
| ar0nic | im becoming jaded on kubuntu | 19:45 |
| nosrednaekim | ar0nic: problems? | 19:46 |
| hokatichenci | nosrednaekim: lots of complaints while trying to run kdesudo | 19:47 |
| ubuntu | i can, now with the other fix | 19:47 |
| nosrednaekim | hokatichenci: pastebin them | 19:47 |
| ar0nic | i wish i wouldnt of fubared my first install, everything worked off the rip except my video playback issue | 19:48 |
| hokatichenci | kcmserver displayconfig was command not found | 19:48 |
| hokatichenci | kdesudo systemsettings was a lot of complaints | 19:49 |
| ubuntu | dang i must say kubuntu looks good but it crashes like crazy | 19:49 |
| ar0nic | yeah its very buggy it seams | 19:49 |
| ubuntu | ubuntu neve bugged on me | 19:50 |
| ubuntu | T.T | 19:50 |
| nosrednaekim | hokatichenci: sorry, "kdesudo kcmshell displayconfig"\ | 19:52 |
| nosrednaekim | without the \ | 19:54 |
| ar0nic | ugh i give up | 19:55 |
| ar0nic | the support channels the tutorials are all useless | 19:55 |
| ar0nic | it could very well be user error but this is rediculous | 19:56 |
| Pici | ar0nic: Have you tried asking in #ubuntu ? | 19:56 |
| ar0nic | yes. | 19:56 |
| hokatichenci | nosrednaekim: I think I've gotten around the problem | 19:57 |
| hokatichenci | I was able to do a sudo systemsettings and work my way around the retardation | 19:57 |
| nosrednaekim | sudo? | 19:58 |
| hokatichenci | yeah | 19:59 |
| nosrednaekim | use kdesudo.... sudo isn't meant for graphical apps | 19:59 |
| hokatichenci | Not sure why X has to be so complicated for this screen | 20:00 |
| hokatichenci | kdesudo of systemsettings was totally broken :) | 20:00 |
| hokatichenci | lots of dcop errors | 20:00 |
| nosrednaekim | unless of course kdesudo is broken | 20:00 |
| nosrednaekim | could you pastebin them? | 20:01 |
| hokatichenci | its graphical errors, nothing to the konsole | 20:02 |

| llutz | Daisuke_Ido: don't waste your time with those trolls | 20:09 |
| Daisuke_Ido | llutz: oh, i'm not. | 20:09 |
| ar0nic | Daisuke- im going to ubuntu | 20:09 |
| ar0nic | kubuntu is a problematic f**k | 20:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ar0nic: same base system. what's going wrong now? | 20:10 |
| ar0nic | maybe its kde im not a fan of | 20:10 |
| nosrednaekim | couldn't even give me a pastebin... huh. | 20:10 |
| ar0nic | not sure | 20:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ar0nic: desktop environments are completely subjective, and lead to the most pointless flame wars ever | 20:11 |
| ar0nic | my first install was perfect, sans the video playback issue, i tried everything there was to do to get that problem working, i then moved on to vid drivers and installed envy on the advice of a zillion threads | 20:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | the advice of a zillion threads that were how old? | 20:11 |
| ar0nic | 07 | 20:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | envy is neither recommended nor supported | 20:11 |
| ar0nic | any how, this fubard the install | 20:12 |
| Daisuke_Ido | no surprise, honestly | 20:12 |
| ar0nic | so i said f it ill format and reinstall, so i do so, and go back to trying to setup up the appropiate drivers for my vid card | 20:12 |
| Daisuke_Ido | there's a restricted driver manager for both kde and gnome that will set up the appropriate drivers for you | 20:12 |
| ar0nic | using the reconfigure xorg.conf | 20:12 |
| ar0nic | neither of them worked Daisuke_Ido | 20:13 |
| ar0nic | nothing worked | 20:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | what's your card? | 20:13 |
| ar0nic | i purged all installed codecs and started fresh | 20:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | codecs have nothing to do with video drivers. | 20:13 |
| ar0nic | first trying automatix which i found out many people do not enjoy | 20:13 |
| vinnie5 | ok heres the deal. I installed kubuntu /root=hdb5, /swap=hdb6, /home=hdb7. I then installed pclinuxos /root=hdb8, /swap=hdb9, /home=hdb10. I then realized i may have screwd up on kubuntu so I reinstalled it. I deleted hdb5,6,7 which moved 8,9,10 back to positions 5,6,7. kubunto then created hdb3,4,8 so grub is now confused on finding pclinuxos. can someone please tell me how to fix menu.lst so it will boot correctly? | 20:14 |
| ar0nic | Daisuke_Ido i understand that but when you've installed all proper codecs and you still have no vid playback but perfect sound what do you do? | 20:14 |
| ar0nic | i moved on to the driver aspect | 20:14 |
| nosrednaekim | vinnie5: #1, you can keep the /home's and the swaps the same. | 20:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | what proper codecs did you install? | 20:15 |
| vinnie5 | ahh | 20:15 |
| ar0nic | started with medibuntu | 20:15 |
| ar0nic | w32 codecs | 20:15 |
| venik | what is the closest thing to the Device Manager of WINDOWS? | 20:15 |
| vinnie5 | so.... i should just start from scrach again? | 20:15 |
| ar0nic | restricted drivers\modules as well | 20:15 |
| ar0nic | vlc player | 20:15 |
| ar0nic | m player | 20:15 |
| ar0nic | xine | 20:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | okay, vlc wouldn't give playback? | 20:16 |
| ar0nic | no | 20:16 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it doesn't use external codecs | 20:16 |
| nosrednaekim | vinnie5: are you sure those partitions are now named 5,6,7? I didn't think partitions changed names | 20:16 |
| Daisuke_Ido | kind of a blue...liney output? | 20:16 |
| ar0nic | and the first thing i did after my format and reinstall was install only vlc | 20:16 |
| ar0nic | no | 20:16 |
| ar0nic | black screen | 20:16 |
| Daisuke_Ido | are you using compiz? | 20:16 |
| ar0nic | do not know what that is but it is defaulted as off i believe right? | 20:16 |

| vinnie5 | no hdb4 is my /root for kubuntu | 20:19 |
| ar0nic | like i said i dont understand why these issues are happening | 20:19 |
| nosrednaekim | vinnie5: ok.. do you have a hdb1,2,3 ? | 20:19 |

| StevenJ | Mandrvia absolutely wouldn't install at all it kept trying to access some partions on my raid parity. So I was trying out Linux Mint and now Kubuntu. | 20:55 |

| Ayabara | anyone running kubuntu hardy here? | 21:45 |
| Arwen | Ayabara, me | 21:45 |
| Dr_Willis | I am on one machine. :) | 21:45 |
| tekteen | Ayabara: go to #ubuntu+1 for hardy help | 21:46 |
| jpatrick | !hardy | Ayabara | 21:46 |
| Ayabara | Arwen: is it working well for you? I have Ubuntu working good on my XPS M1530, and I'm thinking about installing kubuntu-desktop. I can never decide between Gnome and Kde, so it's best to have both installed :-) | 21:46 |
| ubotu | Ayabara: 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 | 21:46 |
| jpatrick | tekteen: beat me to it.. :) | 21:46 |
| tekteen | lol | 21:46 |
| Ayabara | tekteen: ok | 21:46 |
| Dr_Willis | IF you have to ask... dont use it. :) | 21:46 |
| Arwen | Ayabara, it's mostly functional. Not any more broken than Gutsy at least. | 21:46 |
| Dr_Willis | I always install kubutu and ubuntu desktops | 21:47 |
| Ayabara | good thing I only asked if someone else use it :-) | 21:47 |
| Arwen | although the latest kernel release causes auto-reboots whenever you try to use a console framebuffer | 21:47 |
| Dr_Willis | there were some major issues with hardy in the last 2 weeks or so. | 21:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Arwen: heh - thats a new one.. I alwyas wonder how these issues like that happen. | 21:47 |
| gxk | anyone who have any ideas of why the installer crashes at 25% and the cdrom stops reading | 21:47 |
| Arwen | yep... and nobody can ever confirm the problems I have | 21:48 |
| Arwen | so.. | 21:48 |
| Dr_Willis | i always disable the framebuffer, | 21:48 |
| Arwen | I always use it | 21:48 |
| Arwen | I use it more than I use X... | 21:48 |
| Dr_Willis | I use the console a lot. :) i just dont use the framebuffer console. | 21:48 |
| vinny13 | ok i need help | 21:48 |
| Arwen | yeah, I can't tolerate 640x480 | 21:48 |
| Arwen | dunno about you | 21:49 |
| vinny13 | I think my wireless is crossed with my ethernet or something... | 21:49 |
| kristjan_ | Arwen: using nvidia drivers? | 21:49 |
| Arwen | generic vesafb | 21:49 |
| tekteen | vinny13: what goes wrong? | 21:49 |
| Dr_Willis | you are talking so someone that started on a Timex Sinclare.. I can handle 40 x 80 characters | 21:49 |
| Ayabara | do you experienced kde'ers prefer kaffeine for your video player, or is mplayer & vlc better choices? | 21:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Ayabara: depends on what i am watching | 21:49 |
| vinny13 | well when i use iwconfig my wireless pops up as eth0 and it doesnt work | 21:49 |
| Dr_Willis | lately ive been using gmplayer mainly | 21:49 |
| Arwen | Ayabara, MPlayer. Nothing else. | 21:50 |
| Arwen | and not GMPlayer... oh my god worthless garbage.. | 21:50 |
| tekteen | I like kaffiene and vlc | 21:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Arwen: yadda yadda.. :) | 21:51 |
| kristjan_ | Arwen: if you higher resolution, then some manual tweaking is required https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/129910 | 21:51 |
| kristjan_ | *if you want | 21:51 |
| Arwen | kristjan_, that's not it | 21:51 |
| tekteen | I use mplayer for information and as a tool | 21:51 |
| Dr_Willis | i got my laptop set up where it boots geexbox for fast video player. | 21:51 |
| Arwen | it KERNEL PANICS when I try to load vesafb and X at the same time | 21:51 |
| Ayabara | Arwen: it puzzles me a bit that the mplayer volume on my system is much lower than the volume of totem and vlc (with volume to max, of course). I have to set a digital gain to make it loud enough | 21:51 |
| Dr_Willis | I got a few videos that are using some funky codec i cant get going in ubuntu. :( | 21:51 |
| Arwen | Dr_Willis, MPlayer with DirectShow loading will probably work | 21:52 |
| vinny13 | any ideas? | 21:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Ayabara: ive noticed that issue also.. geexbox uses mplayer, and it has a much higher volume, then mplayer under ubuntu. | 21:52 |
| vinny13 | ugh lag? | 21:52 |
| tekteen | Ayabara: I use vlc when kaffiene is too low (volume) | 21:52 |
| Dr_Willis | brb | 21:52 |
| Arwen | I turn my speakers up when I have volume issues... | 21:52 |
| Vermux | oy, I clicked alt+F2 in the middle of version upgrade installation and I dont c that window anymore | 21:53 |
| tekteen | Arwen: I can't I have a laptop | 21:53 |
| Arwen | hah | 21:53 |
| * Ayabara also has a laptop | 21:53 | |
| Ayabara | and turning up the volume is risky business, cause suddenly another app will make a sound that is _loud_ | 21:54 |
| Arwen | Ayabara, disable that app then | 21:54 |
| Arwen | any app that makes noise is one that needs to die, imo | 21:54 |
| Ayabara | if I adjust with mplayer as a reference I mean | 21:54 |
| * tekteen adds kde4's konsole to the to die list | 21:55 | |
| Arwen | although, one problem I do have with MPlayer is that it implements volume control by boosting system volume | 21:55 |
| Ayabara | Arwen: I have, but it still annoys me that mplayer is low. I know I'm not easy to please here :-) | 21:55 |
| Arwen | irritating because it doesn't change it back | 21:55 |
| basy | hi i have installed package gimp-help-cs on my Kubuntu, how can i see this manual? plz | 21:55 |
| tekteen | anyone know how to disable sound in kde4's konsole? | 21:55 |
| Arwen | I think the option you need to turn off is "audible bell" | 21:55 |
| Arwen | not sure where it would be though | 21:55 |
| tekteen | ok | 21:56 |
| tekteen | I can do it in kde3 | 21:56 |
| Vermux | is it ruined? | 21:56 |
| Ayabara | one more question. do you use compiz-fusion with your Ubuntu? is it as simple as turning it on? last time I had to get some custom kicker and panel stuff. | 21:56 |
| kristjan_ | Ayabara: in hady? in gutsy you have to download other desktop pager | 21:58 |
| Ayabara | kristjan_: in hardy I haven't tried yet. Installing kubuntu-desktop as we speak | 21:58 |
| Ayabara | kristjan_: it works better in hardy? | 21:59 |
| kristjan_ | Ayabara: no idea :-) | 22:00 |
| kristjan_ | only played around with kde4 cd | 22:00 |
| Ayabara | ok :) | 22:00 |
| Ayabara | The default for Hardy will be KDE 3.x, right? | 22:02 |
| SlimeyPete | so I hear | 22:02 |
| tekteen | I think there are 2 cd's for hardy | 22:02 |
| fuhreal | is there any way to force an update check? | 22:04 |
| basy | Hi, My kubuntu default languages in order are: sk, cz, en, All aplications are in [sk] but gimp is [en], there is no [sk] translation of gimp and i want it in [cz] language, plz help. | 22:05 |
| SlimeyPete | fuhreal: "sudo apt-get update" in a terminal is one way | 22:05 |
| SlimeyPete | you can also force it via Adept | 22:05 |
| re-align | Anyone know how to get the default Windows fonts into Kubuntu (i.e. is there a package on medibuntu)? | 22:09 |
| tekteen | !msfonts | 22:09 |
| ubotu | Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 22:09 |
| urbi | hehe | 22:09 |
| fuhreal | Anyone know how i can figure out why the installer keeps dieing no matter what i try to install? | 22:13 |
| SlimeyPete | run it from a terminal | 22:13 |
| SlimeyPete | see if it spits out any error messages | 22:14 |
| SlimeyPete | also, try using apt-get, aptitude or synaptic instead and see if that makes a difference | 22:14 |
| zaquan | helo | 22:14 |
| SlimeyPete | hi. | 22:14 |
| zaquan | can i ask | 22:14 |
| SlimeyPete | !ask | 22:14 |
| ubotu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 22:15 |

| zaquan | can u tell me how to do that | 22:16 |
| tekteen | K Menu > Internet > kopete | 22:16 |

| tekteen | no | 22:16 |
| tekteen | you know what the start menu is? | 22:16 |
| zaquan | ok i get it | 22:16 |

| fuhreal | Any way to force KDE to remake menu's ? i.e. I just installed eTerm and i wanna get it in the menu | 22:18 |
| _Angelus_ | guyz | 22:18 |
| Arwen | fuhreal, dcop kicker kicker restart | 22:18 |
| _Angelus_ | somebody would be gentle enough to help me plan a good partition table ? | 22:18 |
| _Angelus_ | fuhreal: just run kbuildsyscoca | 22:18 |
| Arwen | _Angelus_, sure. What are you looking for? | 22:18 |
| tekteen | _Angelus_: how much space do you have? | 22:19 |
| _Angelus_ | i have 2 hard discs , a laptop one connected with an adaptor (60GB) and a Maxtor one set as primary (80GB) | 22:19 |
| _Angelus_ | people told me that the laptop one is slow | 22:19 |
| fuhreal | _Angelus_: whats kbuildsyscoca ? | 22:20 |
| Arwen | _Angelus_, it would probably be slower | 22:20 |
| _Angelus_ | fuhreal: some program that will make your new icons apear in kmenu :p | 22:20 |
| fuhreal | !kbuildsyscoca | 22:20 |
| ubotu | If your K menu is out of date, like after installing an application and not finding it in the K menu, you should type "kbuildsycoca" in a terminal to rebuild the KDE configuration cache | 22:20 |
| _Angelus_ | so what would be a good partition table ? :p | 22:21 |
| _Angelus_ | i want most of the space for /home, since i store all big files and torrents there | 22:21 |
| Arwen | _Angelus_, well, I'd set your entire laptop disk as extra storage | 22:21 |
| Arwen | set maybe 10GB or so of the primary one for system | 22:22 |
| Arwen | and the rest as main storage | 22:22 |
| tekteen | _Angelus_: 10 GB . | 22:22 |
| tekteen | 10GB / 2GB swap | 22:22 |

| ubotu | 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. | 23:24 |

| aib | I installed the packages but the packager didn't ship libQtDbus.so.4. rather, he linked against the one in /usr/lib (the kde4 packages are all in /usr/local/lib) and thus there is a missing symbol. the packager expected the users system to be identical | 23:42 |

| Regital | just yellow/pink background | 23:46 |
| Regital | sound works just fine tho | 23:47 |
| ^u^ | Regital, vlc plays ogg vid fine so maybe it is the file | 23:48 |

| ^u^ | not good | 23:49 |
| Regital | ? | 23:49 |
| === coleopter is now known as coleopter_ | ||
| Dr_willis | depends on where the videos are comming from | 23:50 |

| ^u^ | heheh | 23:53 |
| Regital | yeah =p | 23:53 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 23:57 |
| Dr_willis | ive seen movies lately that have some really... odd... codecs. :) | 23:57 |
| fuhreal | is there a default keystroke for CTRL+ALT+E ? | 23:58 |
| flake | what's a good c64 emulator, i have vice installed in synaptic but i cant find it or run it apparently | 23:58 |
| Dr_willis | flake: check the package docs, you need to get the proper roms for it. that are not included by default. | 23:58 |
| Dr_willis | for legal reasons. | 23:58 |
| Dr_willis | Or rebuild vice from source for the latest version. Its a little old in the repos | 23:58 |
| flake | ah | 23:58 |
| Dr_willis | Yep - i was annoyed that other disrtos include the stuff for vice that ubuntu decided not to include. | 23:59 |
| Dr_willis | but they are taking the legal-safe-road. | 23:59 |
| flake | I can respect that | 23:59 |
| Dr_willis | So its hard to really blame ubuntu for being parnoid. :) | 23:59 |
| Dr_willis | but i MUST play my wavy navy! | 23:59 |
