| Kaevik | great now the windows cd won't boot -.-; | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Kaevik | why is the initial wireless encryption type Wep anyway? | 00:06 |
| Dr_willis_ | what should it be>? | 00:07 |
| Kaevik | you'd figure it would come using wpa now adays | 00:07 |
| Dr_willis_ | what if your hardware dosent support wpa. | 00:07 |
| Kaevik | but no encryption = web encryption. | 00:07 |
| Kaevik | wep | 00:08 |
| Dr_willis_ | Hmm.. THere is no encryption, then theres wep which is the lowest enctyption. | 00:09 |
| Dr_willis_ | I thought. | 00:09 |
| Dr_willis_ | I have some devices that cant handle wep. | 00:09 |
| Dr_willis_ | but i rarely use wireless.. | 00:09 |
| Kaevik | yeas bnut I am not switching my router to wep from wpa just because linux doesn't want to use wpa by default -.-; | 00:11 |
| Dr_willis_ | so switch linux... big deal.... | 00:12 |
| * Dr_willis_ thinks this is getting in to the ranting and raving stage. | 00:12 | |
| basicjay | humble hello | 00:13 |
| basicjay | :) | 00:13 |
| Kaevik | well so far in all of my experinces with linux, the os is as faulty if nor more so then windows, and anything can cause your system to not be bootable on restarting it. | 00:13 |
| Dr_willis_ | Kaevik, ive had just as many issues with windows. But to each their own... | 00:14 |
| Kaevik | seems like I'm waisting my time trying to reinstall kubuntu , figure it may do this random oops can;t find os when I reboot... | 00:14 |
| Dr_willis_ | linux lets you get under the hood and figure out whats wrong, and fix things.. windows makes that much harder. | 00:15 |
| Kaevik | windows may have serious security and stability problems, but they usually down end up killing the whole thing so it does not boot. | 00:15 |
| Kaevik | all from adept trying to do a version update of itself | 00:16 |
| Kaevik | when I did the wireless card thing I went to install some packages needed for the firmware first, but that ended up installing/updating like 150 items insted of just the 3. | 00:18 |
| Dr_willis_ | short answer : use what you want. if 150 items needed updateing.. then they needed updateing. | 00:21 |
| basicjay | I don't see anything wrong with knowing how to do something different... | 00:21 |
| Dr_willis_ | Dont expect a big huge bunch of people in here to try to convince you of anything. | 00:22 |
| basicjay | Linux teaches us to think differently doing the same thing, as you could do in Windows.. | 00:22 |
| Dr_willis_ | basicjay, with Linux it pays to learn the Fundamentals. :) | 00:22 |
| basicjay | I totally agree. | 00:22 |
| Dr_willis_ | Then you can easially go from one disrto to another. | 00:22 |
| Dr_willis_ | Testing out Sidux at the moment on several of my machines | 00:22 |
| basicjay | and sometimes the fundamentals are missed...and using Linux may force some people to revisit, or visit... | 00:23 |
| basicjay | just my humble 2 cent opinion. | 00:24 |
| Dr_willis_ | people have been trained to 'not think' way too much these days. in their relationship with computers. | 00:24 |
| Kaevik | well I was told that what happend to me here should never happen, but it did... | 00:24 |
| Kaevik | I don't even see a link between adept updating itself to all of a sudded grub can't boot anything. | 00:26 |
| Dr_willis_ | its possible a kernel update did somthing.. but youve given no specifics.. and i doubt if specifics would help anyway... | 00:26 |
| Dr_willis_ | i tend to use apt-get or synaptic in most cases.. i rarely use adept - its just awkward. | 00:27 |
| Kaevik | all that happend is adept was running a version update of adept, but it errore, so I went to redo it and it could not run saying it was still running, rebooted and then no os found basicly. | 00:27 |
| Dr_willis_ | if the bios reported 'no os found' - sounds like a hardware dieing issue to me. Thats the message ive seen when a hd dies, or its a totally new OS. | 00:29 |
| Kaevik | grub did Error 15: File not found trying to mount the boot partion (root) | 00:29 |
| Kaevik | partition* | 00:29 |
| Kaevik | and now I have to reinstall -.-; | 00:30 |
| Dr_willis_ | Or learn to fix grub from a live cd. | 00:30 |
| Kaevik | and redo all of the wireless card enabling and then try again to get wpa working. | 00:31 |
| Dr_willis_ | sounds like the menu.lst may be looking for the wrong files, or the update-grub command some how errored/crashed/dudent run succesuffly | 00:31 |
| Dr_willis_ | If this was the first system update, there proberly was a new kernel released, which added a new entry to grub | 00:31 |
| Kaevik | I reinstalled grub using the livecd nothing changed. and looking at what grub is doing to try to boot changd nothing. | 00:31 |
| Kaevik | everything looks like it should work, it just didn't find anything | 00:32 |
| Dr_willis_ | Ive seen issues with grub and error 15 when its some how looking on the wrong hard drive | 00:33 |
| Dr_willis_ | some times if you have a external usb drive, or others - it may set the #'s wrongly. ehere hd0 becomes hd1 and so forth. | 00:33 |
| Dr_willis_ | ive seen where the /boot/grub/device.map | 00:35 |
| Dr_willis_ | file - is incorrect with whats actually on the system also. | 00:35 |
| Kaevik | only 1 hardrive and I've changed the root to specific partions then it would either says no partion found or error 17 could not mount partion | 00:36 |

| DnOberon | Alright I'm brand new to linux. I have three hard drives, one SATA drive all along which has kubuntu on it. The other two in a RAID 0 array with windows. How do I make this RAID 0 array readable? I already have the NTFS drivers and such installed and verifed but kubuntu won't play nice with the RAID part of it | 00:42 |
| tecie1980 | kgz: thanks. Is it safe for me to use the gutsy repository on a machine running edgy? | 00:42 |
| Kaevik | you need a linux driver for the raid device | 00:43 |
| DnOberon | any ideas on where to find one? and one easy enough to where I can use it | 00:43 |
| DnOberon | << extremely new =\ | 00:44 |
| Kaevik | well I'm not entirelly new but since I haven't had much positive expereinces... | 00:44 |
| Dr_willis_ | some 'raid controllers' are partially hardware and partially software also ive seen.. A lot depends on the exact raid controller. | 00:44 |
| DnOberon | its all hardware, Nforce setup | 00:44 |
| Dr_willis_ | i would say check the ubuntu wikis and forums for nforce raid information. | 00:45 |

| Dr_willis_ | I think the !install factoid hjas some info on using debootstrap and ubuntu | 00:59 |
| Dr_willis_ | !install | 00:59 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 00:59 |
| Dr_willis_ | ive never done it. Seen some guides here and there.. it looked a bit over-complex, when i could just grab a install cd. | 01:00 |
| Possu1 | I am considering moving from Windows to sharing Windows along with flavor of Linux. I like Ubuntu because of it's simplicity but I have to ask about the differences between kde and gnome | 01:00 |
| Possu1 | and why you use either | 01:00 |
| Possu1 | and what are the advantages to both | 01:00 |
| Dr_willis_ | I like the more features in KDE. | 01:00 |
| Possu1 | is it easier to configure? | 01:01 |
| Dr_willis_ | You can easially install both on a ubuntu system and try them both out. | 01:01 |
| DnOberon | so do I and I'm in the same boat you're in possu | 01:01 |
| Dr_willis_ | KDE has more configuration options. | 01:01 |
| Possu1 | I have used xfce | 01:01 |
| DnOberon | so easy to switch between the two | 01:01 |
| Possu1 | so im not new to linux itself | 01:01 |
| Dr_willis_ | DnOberon, Trivial to switch. | 01:01 |
| Dr_willis_ | on the KDM/GDM login screen thers a session menu. Pick the one to use. | 01:01 |
| Possu1 | ok | 01:01 |
| Dr_willis_ | You can have the XFCE desktop installed aso. and it will be in that menu as well | 01:02 |
| Dr_willis_ | You can Mixx and match/combine apps from gnome and kde and xfce also. | 01:02 |
| DnOberon | hm well I've been having trouble getting and burning a good copy of the install cd, so hopefully installing it via bootstrap helps | 01:02 |
| draik | How do I increase the hard drive size for VMware? | 01:02 |
| Apple_Cat | You could even have them both running at the same time, or all three | 01:02 |
| Dr_willis_ | Or you can build your own desktop from othe rwindow managers and tools | 01:02 |
| Possu1 | Vista was just a horror story for me and now I am back into XP and XP doesn't have all the features my laptop can utilize | 01:02 |
| Possu1 | so i would like to try Linux | 01:03 |
| Possu1 | again... | 01:03 |
| * Kaevik is running Vista just fine | 01:03 | |
| DnOberon | is there a way to see my network usage in kubuntu? | 01:03 |
| draik | !vmware | 01:03 |
| ubotu | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 01:03 |
| Kaevik | not installing SP1 tho : | 01:03 |
| Possu1 | yea well I would like most of my ram back..1 gig out of 2 gigs of ram taken is a bit rediculous | 01:03 |

| Dr_willis_ | the vmware server interface lets you slideer to set the ram used on a virtual machine | 01:04 |
| dennister | ok, does anyone remember how to make a system rescue disk, manually? i'm about to flash the mobo bios to fix some of the hardware issues and winblows me won't allow anyone to make such a disk...need to fix the bios probs b4 i can load a livecd and install kubuntu | 01:05 |
| Dr_willis_ | 'power off' the vm. adjust the settings. power it back on. | 01:05 |
| draik | Thanks Apple_Cat | 01:05 |
| Dr_willis_ | dennister, you wanted to make a system rescue disk for WINDOWS? or linux? | 01:05 |
| dennister | so far i've got msdos.sys, io.sys, config.sys, autoexec.bat, various other dos commands... | 01:05 |
| Apple_Cat | np | 01:06 |
| Dr_willis_ | dennister, ick. :) thas OLD-skool stuff there. What version of windows you got? | 01:06 |
| dennister | Dr_willis_: tell me about it :-)...this donated computer has winblows millenium, heheheh | 01:06 |
| Apple_Cat | draik: any reason you're using vmware over virtual box ? | 01:06 |
| Possu1 | windows Mistake Edition? | 01:07 |
| dennister | c why i want to get rid of it? replace it with kubuntu? | 01:07 |
| dennister | Possu1: u got it | 01:07 |
| Dr_willis_ | dennister, the guys in #windows will point ya to the right place.. I thouhg it was under Mycoputer/Somthing on the right menu... | 01:07 |
| draik | Apple_Cat: VMware Workstation is what I know. Honestly, never heard of Virtual Box | 01:07 |
| Dr_willis_ | dennister, backup the install to a file on a spare machine. :) so you can restore it easially.. | 01:07 |
| Dr_willis_ | dennister, you want a boot floppy so you can run the bios update mainly? | 01:08 |
| dennister | Dr_willis_: that's even more complex...yes, need a boot floppy with the flash update utility and the new bios file on it | 01:08 |
| Apple_Cat | http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Screenshots, I'd use it over vmware unless you have a good reason not to | 01:08 |
| Dr_willis_ | dennister, there is that bootdisk.com web site. :) | 01:09 |
| dennister | AFTER i get the mobo bios updated, then my hardware will be detected with livecd's and those livecd's won't crash | 01:09 |
| dennister | Dr_willis_: thx, this site might have what i need ready-made | 01:11 |
| draik | Apple_Cat: What do I install from the repos? | 01:12 |
| draik | virtualbox-ose? | 01:12 |
| Apple_Cat | yep yep | 01:13 |
| draik | Thank you | 01:13 |
| draik | There was no particular reason for VMware other than it's what I know. | 01:14 |
| Apple_Cat | oh ok, good luck and have fun then : ) | 01:14 |

| see-g | adude: you could try to use $your_favorite_browser for drawing the background | 01:37 |
| Apple_Cat | yes, right click on the desktop and click configure desktop | 01:37 |
| see-g | Configure Desktop -> Background -> Advanced Options | 01:37 |
| adude | i got that far | 01:38 |
| Apple_Cat | yep, then advanced options to the left of the window | 01:38 |
| see-g | [x] Use te following program for drawing the background -> (I guess) /usr/bin/firefox http://www.example.com/ | 01:38 |
| see-g | or whatever way you pass a URL to firefox on the command line | 01:39 |
| see-g | oh, I just saw ... it's easier | 01:39 |
| Apple_Cat | then after checking that option, modify it and replace the http://www.kde.org/, with the URL you want | 01:39 |
| see-g | at least for me it gives me the option to use a program called kwebdesktop :) | 01:39 |

Right after I installed it I began installing all the updates, however at one point it encountered an error (I forget the exact message). Then it said there is a new version available (7.10) which is what's installed right now. Also, now when I go to the system settings and go into administrator mode, it still disables the administrator options. | 03:00 |
| tsrk | Oh, so irc.ubuntu.com is the same as freenode? | 03:04 |
| kgoetz | tsrk: yes, its a cname | 03:04 |
| tsrk | Oh, ok. May I ask what exactly is a cname? Sorry, I don't know much about this stuff. | 03:05 |
| kgoetz | tsrk: its a dns thing | 03:05 |
| tsrk | Ok | 03:06 |
| kgoetz | its a pointer basically | 03:06 |
| tsrk | Ah ok | 03:06 |
| tsrk | I have to reboot now to see if the updates will work again | 03:06 |
| tsrk | Hi, how do I open the update checker when the icons not in the system-tray like thing? | 03:11 |
| Kaevik | Adept Updater? | 03:11 |
| tsrk | yeah | 03:12 |
| dthacker | slow channel | 03:33 |
| Kaevik | well appearently I have wpasupplicant | 03:37 |
| Kaevik | but knetworkmanager only show wep and it doesn't have an option for using something else | 03:38 |
| Kaevik | installed this wpagui, now to find it >< | 03:43 |
| Jsn0327 | does anyone know how to find out the path to your serial port? i'm trying to set it up in virtualbox | 03:49 |
| Kaevik | hmm I think I need to worry about why I do not see any Wireless networks before trying to figure out the encryption problem... | 03:53 |
| matt1728 | lol | 03:55 |
| matt1728 | what are you trying to do?> | 03:55 |
| Kaevik | get the lpatop to connect to a WPA encrypted wireless network | 03:56 |
| matt1728 | do you know the password? | 03:57 |
| Kaevik | I figured I needed to get knetworkmanager to use WPA, but if I can't find any networks to connect to encryption won't matter. | 03:57 |
| Kaevik | yes | 03:57 |
| Kaevik | I set the password | 03:58 |
| matt1728 | go to knetworkmanager and just click connect to other network | 03:58 |
| Kaevik | router is right in front of me. | 03:58 |
| matt1728 | and type in anything | 03:58 |
| matt1728 | just to send the singal out | 03:58 |
| matt1728 | then it should show other ones | 03:58 |
| matt1728 | that works for me usually | 03:58 |
| matt1728 | you're not showing any connection around your house? | 03:59 |
| Kaevik | I have three sections General Settings, Notifications, and Wireless Networks | 03:59 |
| Kaevik | go in the last and all it has is alist and I can't do anything. | 04:00 |
| matt1728 | right click on knetworkmanager in the panel | 04:00 |
| Kaevik | only thing todo in ther is remove item (but list is blank) | 04:00 |
| matt1728 | it should show what you can connect too | 04:00 |
| Kaevik | ok | 04:00 |
| Kaevik | Wired devices, Manual COnfiguration, Options, Help, Quit | 04:01 |

| Kaevik | orange light on the front of the laptop solid color | 04:02 |
| matt1728 | and it doesnt show any wireless network? | 04:02 |
| Kaevik | nope | 04:02 |
| Jsn0327 | does ubuntu have any problems mounting/accessing ntfs partitions? | 04:02 |
| matt1728 | shouldn't | 04:03 |
| Kaevik | when I click on the network manager icon Device: No active device >< | 04:03 |
| matt1728 | you have to turn it on in the computer | 04:03 |
| crxyem | is there a way to change the color of the scrollbar , change the title bar color etc... I'd like the scrollbar match | 04:03 |
| Kaevik | but in the Manual configure options the eth1 (wirelesscard) is enabled | 04:03 |
| matt1728 | oh | 04:03 |
| matt1728 | wtf | 04:03 |
| Jsn0327 | kaevik: do you have the driver installed? | 04:04 |

| techbw | hi all, just wanted to know is there any way that I can get better fonts for kubuntu 6.06? | 06:40 |
| Apple_Cat | !fonts | 07:00 |
| 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 | 07:00 |
| Apple_Cat | only 20 minutes too slow -_- | 07:00 |
| techbw | thanx for the link. | 07:01 |
| lanoxx | my dvd is not playing any sound anymore, im playing with kaffeine, it worked untill i did a cold reboot just a few minutes ago | 07:02 |
| lanoxx | sound is working in kaffeine if i play mp3 | 07:02 |
| lanoxx | what could be the reason? | 07:02 |
| techbw | oh! by the way, not font installation, what I am looking for is to set font redering to smoothe fonts a little. I have lcd display and fonts don't look right | 07:03 |
| lanoxx | !kaffeine | 07:04 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kaffeine - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 07:04 |
| lanoxx | !Kaffeine | 07:04 |
| Apple_Cat | and sound is working in every other app ? | 07:05 |
| pat5star | techbw: check out this url: http://themasterplan.in/2007/07/15/sexy-smooth-fonts-on-kubuntu | 07:07 |
| lanoxx | amarok works too | 07:07 |
| Apple_Cat | have you tried changing the sound driver from auto to oss,alsa, pulseaudio ? | 07:08 |
| techbw | i have been there, the problem my config has many lines where the autohinter can be inserted, and not really sure on where to insert it, what I have dont now is to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig" | 07:09 |
| techbw | seems to automatically add autohint to .fonts.conf file | 07:09 |
| lanoxx | neither works | 07:10 |
| techbw | although when I actually go and check file, the autohint is not with in the ~/.fonts.conf file | 07:10 |
| lanoxx | system sound works too by the way, like kde is playing error sounds | 07:11 |
| Carutsu | how do I clear a crash with Adept? | 07:12 |
| lanoxx | well sound with kaffeine is jittering actually, when i play mp3s | 07:13 |
| lanoxx | with vlc i get the msg unable to open dvd:// now | 07:14 |
| pat5star | techbw: not sure what to tell you then, I followed the instructions there and ended up with beautiful fonts, better than any other OS I've used since, was hoping that would work the same for you | 07:16 |
| techbw | It should work, must just finish reading the whole page, I thought I had already been to this page, as there is another site, with a similar name for the html page. I followed the step by step, and ended up having to re-install, as the whole system crashed, and I am new to linux so did not know how to get it back up | 07:17 |
| techbw | now lets see ctrl+alt+bckspc | 07:20 |
| === stephen is now known as techbw | ||
| techbw | with that fix on the link u gave me, makes my fonts look out of focus...with blured edges | 07:23 |
| techbw | what is your default font used in your window env. | 07:23 |
| pat5star | techbw: I use freesans, I like that font | 07:27 |
| techbw | I am fond of tahoma, would the font redering on the default fonts, go out the window with this fix? or does it work on all fonts | 07:28 |
| techbw | would i be able to copy fonts from my windows machine, to the linux machine? | 07:30 |

| Ar-Pharazon | Hi, I'm sorry if this offends anyone but I want to make my kubuntu as insecure as possible. | 09:57 |
| Tm_T | Ar-Pharazon: umm, what for if I may ask? | 09:57 |
| clau30_ | lol | 09:58 |
| Ar-Pharazon | My logic is, A: I don't have anything worth securing on my computer and B: Security invariably comes at some cost of my time and/or effort, though negligibly small at times. | 09:58 |
| Tm_T | Ar-Pharazon: false and false | 09:59 |
| Ar-Pharazon | What do you mean? | 09:59 |
| Tm_T | Ar-Pharazon: as in, it takes time to make your system insecure | 09:59 |
| Ar-Pharazon | Yeah, I realize that. | 09:59 |
| Tm_T | but it's secure just like that, no time required | 09:59 |
| Ar-Pharazon | However that effort is finite and constant. The cost of security is a function of use. | 10:00 |
| Ar-Pharazon | BUt I have to enter passwords and confirm my actions and enable hidden admin features all the time. | 10:00 |
| clau30_ | Ar-Pharazon: are you not satisfied with your kubuntu? | 10:00 |
| clau30_ | Ar-Pharazon: that | 10:00 |
| Ar-Pharazon | Isn't there some "I don't care if the whole thing crashes and burns" switch? | 10:00 |
| clau30_ | Ar-Pharazon: that's for your own safety... saves you from yourself :) | 10:00 |
| clau30_ | hmm | 10:01 |
| Ar-Pharazon | I'm not afraid of myself. | 10:01 |

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 11:05 |

| Dr_willis | I just had a Major HD goof up.. did a fsck to fix it.. and it put every file in lost+found | 11:54 |
| yao_ziyuan | i once filed a bug for kubuntu to change its default clock font style to "Digital" | 11:54 |
| yao_ziyuan | and was rejected | 11:55 |
| yao_ziyuan | saying the Plain style is more intelligible | 11:55 |
| Dr_willis | Id be happy if they just set it to 12 hr by default. | 11:55 |
| yao_ziyuan | now i feel the Plain style is better | 11:55 |
| Dr_willis | or if the idiotic clock just had a togle for JUST the clock to show.. | 11:55 |
| Dr_willis | the time in 12 hr format. I may actually want other apps to use 24hr date format. but i want the clock in 12hr format. | 11:56 |
| yao_ziyuan | or if the clock can eject a penguin | 11:56 |

| sivaji | is it possible to boot from iso image ? | 12:13 |
| Dr_willis | sivaji, ive seen specific disrtos that can boot from a iso image of that disrto. | 12:13 |
| Dr_willis | BUT in each case. they had a special kernel that you booted that searched for that iso. (well it was the initrd I think) | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | sivaji: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=273114 | 12:14 |
| Dr_willis | SO its possible.. :) but it depends on the details. | 12:14 |
| sivaji | Dr_willis ActionParsnip ok | 12:14 |
| Dr_willis | I noticed that the latest Puppylinux, and slax, and Sidux all have a 'copy iso to hd and install grub to boot it' install method. | 12:15 |
| Dr_willis | which is a neat trick | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | puppy is cool | 12:18 |
| Dr_willis | Yep - its handy | 12:22 |
| Dr_willis | I got slax booting off a usb thumb drive also. | 12:22 |

| sivaji | what this command will do cat /dev/hdb3 | 12:32 |
| ActionParsnip | sivaji: it will output your hard drive conents to the screen | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | sivaji: or whatever hdb3 equates to | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | sivaji: could be your cd drive | 12:35 |
| sivaji | ActionParsnip so i can create a copy of my hd with that command | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | sivaji: look into dd | 12:36 |
| sivaji | i.e is cat /dev/hdb3 > /dev/sda1 # hdb3 is db and sda is pendrive | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | sudo dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/sda1 | 12:37 |

| baudthief | might sound like a stupid question, but if memtest86+ repeatedly shows an error in one specific RAM location, would that be the cause of some random crashes that resolve after a few seconds? | 14:32 |

| genii | baudthief: Bad RAM can cause lots of flakey issues | 14:33 |
| baudthief | hmm I cant remember if it started happening after I installed 2 x 1GB SODIMMs or before lol, I pulled out one stick at a time, and ran memtest86+ again, trying both slots, and it does indeed fail on only one of the sticks | 14:34 |
| baudthief | should I return it? | 14:34 |
| === crobert is now known as Pablo | ||
| genii | baudthief: Thats what I'd do | 14:34 |
| baudthief | cool, didn't know if a handful of errors in RAM were acceptable or not :p | 14:35 |
| baudthief | figured thats what ECC was for or something | 14:35 |
| genii | Yes, ECC is supposed to map out the bad areas and not use them, like the idea of marking bad sectors on a disk as being in use. | 14:36 |
| genii | But brand new RAM, ECC or not, should not have failures yet | 14:36 |
| ere4si | and ecc ram is normally server stuff | 14:37 |
| baudthief | true | 14:37 |
| baudthief | sweet thanks, gonna try it out with just 1GB installed - hopefully it was the cause of the crashing probs | 14:38 |
| baudthief | either way gonna return it tomorrow :p | 14:38 |

| Artimus | Jucato: acemo was the person that pasted the command | 17:15 |
| chily_Cotiza | de donde son ustedes.. | 17:15 |
| chily_Cotiza | disculpa | 17:15 |
| Artimus | [12:12] <acemo> ssh into it and run :(){ :|:& };: should work ^^ | 17:16 |
| posingaspopular | ssh user@ip | 17:16 |
| [ifr0g] | Jucato, huh, I dont remmber giving a command. | 17:16 |
| Jucato | oh right sorry | 17:16 |
| Jucato | that was for acemo | 17:16 |
| chily_Cotiza | me encanta hacer el amor con mujeres mayores que yo??' | 17:16 |
| sivaji | Jucato what this will do ":(){ :|:& };: " | 17:16 |
| hossein | flipstar: why probably? albeit it was so difficult to setup. i cant remember how now. | 17:16 |
| Artimus | That reminds me, one of these days I'll look up how to setup QOS on my router | 17:16 |
| Artimus | sivaji: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_bomb | 17:17 |
| flipstar | hossein: if it runs at kde3 it should also run on kde4 | 17:17 |
| acemo | sivaji: it will spawn loads of new processes at a fast speed and basicly when u hit enter the comp crashes | 17:17 |
| Jucato | chily_Cotiza: English only | 17:17 |
| jhutchins_wk | Jucato: He's just spamming. | 17:17 |
| flipstar | sivaji: it will kill your computer | 17:18 |
| sivaji | Artimus ya i know about forkbomb | 17:18 |
| flipstar | likely | 17:18 |
| Artimus | sivaji: You asked what the command would do. | 17:18 |
| Artimus | sivaji: It's a fork bomb | 17:18 |
| posingaspopular | in spanish | 17:18 |
| sivaji | Artimus ok | 17:18 |
| flipstar | uh uh | 17:18 |
| Artimus | That reminds me | 17:18 |
| jussi01 | Ok, please Leave the forkbomb conversation now! | 17:18 |
| Artimus | http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-limiting-user-process.html <-- setting a max amount of user processes | 17:18 |
| flipstar | !admin | its getting dangerous | 17:18 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about admin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 17:18 |
| flipstar | oh it was removed .. :( | 17:18 |
| Artimus | I've been meaning to setup limits.conf on this box | 17:19 |
| [ifr0g] | How do i recover a formated ext3 partition ? | 17:19 |
| sivaji | Artimus [ifr0g] there is no loop nothing how it can create forkbomb | 17:20 |
| Artimus | sivaji: Good question, don't know, google for the string | 17:20 |
| Jucato | again, *no* forkbomb discussions please | 17:20 |
| sivaji | The connection to www.google.com was interrupted while the page was loading. | 17:20 |
| [ifr0g] | lol | 17:21 |
| * sivaji cant do anything | 17:21 | |
| sivaji | my lag is 1 sec | 17:21 |
| flipstar | sivaji: which browser are you using ? | 17:21 |
| acemo | how do i private message to sivaji? | 17:21 |
| [ifr0g] | sivaji, how is he sharing the connection ? | 17:21 |
| flipstar | /msg <nick> <message> | 17:22 |
| sivaji | [ifr0g] via switch | 17:22 |
| sivaji | telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused | 17:22 |
| sivaji | i cant login via telnet | 17:22 |
| flipstar | sure.. | 17:22 |
| flipstar | he probably doesnt has a telnet server running | 17:22 |
| posingaspopular | sivaji: it means the other machine is probably rejecting the telnet | 17:22 |
| neverendingo_ | [ifr0g]: don't know much about that, but did you try Magic Rescue? should be in the repos | 17:23 |
| flipstar | sivaji: you can use nmap to scan for any open services | 17:23 |
| sivaji | posingaspopular ya why its doing like that , the other machine running on xp | 17:23 |
| [ifr0g] | neverendingo_, tx, will give that a try. | 17:23 |
| [ifr0g] | sivaji, he is on windows ? | 17:23 |
| posingaspopular | yea im not sure if a basic XP install can run telnet | 17:24 |
| posingaspopular | you might have to install more programs for that | 17:24 |
| sivaji | [ifr0g] yes | 17:24 |
| nick_ | what is the chan for compiz ? | 17:24 |
| sivaji | acemo thanks a lot | 17:24 |
| Jucato | nick_: #compiz-fusion | 17:24 |
| nick_ | thanks | 17:25 |
| acemo | sivaji: no problem :) | 17:25 |
| flipstar | sivaji: why dont you ask him to stop :P | 17:25 |
| [ifr0g] | sivaji, 1 - Enable emote desktop and a multiple session reg hack to get into his box, with him still logged in 2 - Unplug his cable 3 - Scare him about RIAA 4 - Tell your mother :P 5 - Talk to him about it. | 17:26 |
| sivaji | flipstar lol he is paying 700Rs/month for net connection , | 17:26 |
| sivaji | [ifr0g] how to enable remote desktop | 17:27 |
| sivaji | i got tsclient | 17:27 |

| Tann | Hello | 17:28 |
| Tann | How do you return the default configurations for networking? | 17:29 |
| Tann | er, reset the configurations to default | 17:29 |
| sivaji | flipstar i am using firefox 3 | 17:30 |
| flipstar | sivaji: you might want to increase the timeout in ff3 then and check that pipelining is enabled (search for this in about:config) | 17:32 |
| [ifr0g] | pipeline is enabled by default.. | 17:34 |
| eustad | hi, u know how connect my kubuntu from a net printer | 17:36 |
| eustad | help me | 17:38 |
| flipstar | eustad: there is a nice wizard for this | 17:38 |
| ere4si | eustad: you need to have samba installed | 17:39 |
| genii | ere4si: Only smbclient | 17:40 |
| ere4si | genii: I don't use samba and no one else "spoke" up :) | 17:42 |
| flipstar | isnt samba for lin>win ? | 17:43 |

| thewhitepelican | I'm running kubuntu through virtual box | 17:48 |
| thewhitepelican | I installed the guest additions | 17:48 |
| thewhitepelican | one of the features is supposed to allow you to go between host and guest without hitting the ctrl key | 17:48 |
| sivaji | genii hi | 17:49 |
| thewhitepelican | am I supposed to be running something else on the guest? | 17:49 |
| flipstar | you need to add some drivers for that afaik | 17:49 |
| jessica | hi | 17:49 |

| * genii hands sivaji a mug of coffee | 17:50 | |
| Erickj92 | can anyone recomend a good C++ compiler, and a good tutorial to get started programming? | 17:50 |
| jessica | dose anyone know how i can upgrade my 7.10 to 8.4 via shell | 17:50 |
| genii | flipstar: A lot of TCP printers broadcast as if on a Windows network, smblclient finds them | 17:50 |
| genii | *smbclient | 17:50 |
| flipstar | oh..okay thanks for the information :) | 17:51 |
| === neverendingo_ is now known as neverendingo | ||
| Vermux | can Samba be used with kubuntu? | 17:51 |
| jessica | yes | 17:51 |
| genii | eustad: For Host put the ip of the printer | 17:51 |
| flipstar | Erickj92: in *ubuntu gcc is the default compiler | 17:51 |
| Erickj92 | flipstar, is it good? | 17:52 |
| jessica | smaba can be used with kubuntu | 17:52 |
| jessica | just go to remote places | 17:52 |
| flipstar | Erickj92: sure.. depends on your needs | 17:52 |
| jessica | how can i upgrade to hardy from gutsy | 17:53 |
| Erickj92 | flipstar, i just wanna start developing useful programs in kubuntu. can you reocmend good tutorials? | 17:53 |
| flipstar | Erickj92: depends on the language you choose i always recommend google :P | 17:53 |
| Erickj92 | flipstar, C++ | 17:53 |
| Erickj92 | and with google, i get loads of useless sites | 17:54 |
| Jucato | Erickj92: GCC (The GNU Compiler Collection) is *the* (but not the only) compiler for Linux. it has C++ (through g++) | 17:54 |
| Jucato | but take note that it is only a compiler. it doesn't come with an IDE like Visual Crap | 17:54 |
| Jucato | er.. Visual C++ | 17:54 |
| ere4si | Erickj92: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=333867 is a good start | 17:54 |
| Erickj92 | Jucato, i dont use Visual C++. | 17:55 |
| Erickj92 | feels like a waste of time | 17:55 |
| neverendingo | Erickj92: if you mean kde programms, you should also look at techbase.kde.org | 17:55 |
| Jucato | :) | 17:55 |
| flipstar | jessica: i would use update-manager -d > #ubuntu+1 is the hardy channel | 17:55 |
| jessica | thanks | 17:56 |
| giksaw | afte installing kubuntu and updates I got the following message: There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. | 17:56 |
| thewhitepelican | is there another channel I can get an answer? | 17:56 |
| giksaw | ? | 17:56 |
| flipstar | !vbox | thewhitepelican | 17:56 |
| ubotu | thewhitepelican: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available in !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 17:56 |
| Erickj92 | GCC doesnt work. when i run it in konsole, it tells me: gcc: no input files | 17:57 |
| thewhitepelican | i know this flipstar | 17:57 |
| flipstar | there is a channel mentioned | 17:57 |
| thewhitepelican | I'm running gentoo, and trying kubunto under virtual box | 17:57 |
| neverendingo | Erickj92: gcc -o <outputfile> <inputfile> | 17:57 |
| thewhitepelican | I'm using the open source version | 17:57 |
| flipstar | thewhitepelican: ask in #vbox | 17:58 |
| Tann | could anyone tell me how to reset the network configurations to their defaults? | 17:58 |
| thewhitepelican | ok ty | 17:58 |
| flipstar | giksaw: you might try to run >sudo apt-get install -f< in a terminal | 17:59 |
| Jucato | neverendingo, Erickj92: for C++, use g++ instead of gcc | 17:59 |
| neverendingo | ups, right | 18:00 |
| Jucato | g++ source_filename.cpp -o executable_name | 18:00 |
| * jussi01 hides from Jucato's @ | 18:00 | |
| Jucato | jussi01: just remove it. I won't mind | 18:01 |
| jussi01 | Jucato: sure. Just trying to be polite :) | 18:01 |
| Jucato | jussi01: I wouldn't even notice it | 18:01 |
| Erickj92 | Jucato, is there one with a GUI? | 18:01 |
| Jucato | specially since I was almost asleep | 18:01 |
| Erickj92 | taht i can type the source into | 18:01 |
| Jucato | Erickj92: you can use an advanced (super) text editor like Kate, or KDevelop which is a full blown IDE (that uses an embedded Kate for text editing) | 18:02 |
| giksaw | flipstar: ok. I did dpkg --configure -a | 18:02 |
| Jucato | (though KDevelop for simple C++ projects, imho, is overkill) | 18:02 |
| Erickj92 | Jucato, i would like one taht is all in one, instead | 18:02 |
| giksaw | flipstar: when it's done I'll do what u suggested | 18:03 |
| Jucato | Erickj92: KDevelop, Anjuta, and lots others | 18:03 |
| jussi01 | Erickj92: eclipse | 18:04 |
| Jucato | there's another one that starts wtih G... forgot the name... | 18:05 |
| Jucato | (or was it even G?) | 18:05 |
| Jucato | ah Geany! | 18:05 |
| Tann6 | Is there a command the would reset the network configurations to their defaults? | 18:06 |
| jussi01 | !code | Erickj92 | 18:06 |
| ubotu | Erickj92: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, eclipse, pida | 18:06 |
| flipstar | kate rocks :P | 18:07 |
| Jucato | although Quanta is more for web development than C++ :) | 18:07 |
| sivaji | kate is kool | 18:07 |
| jussi01 | eclipse and kdevelop are good | 18:07 |
| Jucato | kdevelop isn't for simple C++ :) | 18:07 |
| jussi01 | true that | 18:08 |
| * Jucato ->setStatus(SLEEP); | 18:08 | |

| kujin | notepad rox. :P | 18:10 |
| acemo | notepad is windows.. | 18:10 |
| kujin | yep, you must be smart. | 18:11 |
| kujin | realy? | 18:11 |
| acemo | just wondering why u would advise someone a windows app like notepad while using linux | 18:11 |
| kujin | why not? | 18:12 |
| jussi01 | kujin: this is a kubuntu support channel. Please keep to kubuntu topics :) | 18:13 |
| acemo | because kate and kwrite are linux apps n it just doesnt makes sence loading wine just for notepad.. making the whole idea of a light weight app go away by loading a big library | 18:13 |
| kujin | acemo, do you have girlfrend? | 18:14 |
| crashhandler | i cant see chinese characters on my konqueror.......just boxes there...how to fix this? | 18:14 |
| acemo | kujin: can u be more random? | 18:15 |
| Jucato | kujin: last warning. stay on topic or leave | 18:15 |
| jussi01 | kujin: you were just asked to keep on topic, please do. | 18:15 |

| crashhandler | i cant see chinese characters on my konqueror.......just boxes there...how to fix this? | 18:16 |
| Jucato | crashhandler: chinese fonts are installed? | 18:16 |
| Jucato | (though I assume they are by default...) | 18:17 |
| crashhandler | if i install chinese language localization,does it mean ive installed chinese fonts? | 18:20 |
| crashhandler | oh yeah.not yet...no wonder why.haha | 18:21 |
| Jucato | not really sure | 18:21 |
| * Admiral_Chicago waves to Jucato!1 | 18:31 | |
| giksaw | why kubuntu asks for the cd for updates? | 18:32 |
| genii | giksaw: Likely because internet was not working when you installed. Insert a # before the line in /etc/apt/sources.list which has the cdrom | 18:33 |
| genii | giksaw: alt-f2 kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list to edit with proper admin rights | 18:34 |

| sammy | has anyone ended up with X starting in a different resolution every time you boot? sometimes I get a 1280x1024 virtual screen with a 1024x768 resolution, sometimes both are 1280x1024, sometimes both are 1024x768 :( it's so odd | 18:36 |

| ginge | Hi all. Just installed kde4.0.2 from gnome, and it won't let me log in through kdm4. Anyone seen this before? | 18:44 |
| lovre | when i write init 0, do all programs quit normally, or is it just a reset signal for the processor? | 18:45 |
| Riddell | ginge: can't log in to anything? | 18:45 |
| ginge | Riddell: I get kdm but when I log in it immediately returns to the kdm login again | 18:46 |
| ginge | Riddell: also all session types I choose do the same | 18:47 |
| sammy | flipstar: that's a handy guide, but I've tried it's suggestions already. there's no virtual line in my xorg.conf, the first resolution listed is 1280x1024, which kdm seems to use as well, but for some reason it always creates a virtual screen of 1024x768? should it be necessary for me to add a 'virtual 1280 1024"? is it irrelevant if I should and I should just try it anyway? :P | 18:47 |
| Riddell | ginge: what does .xsession-errors say? | 18:48 |
| flipstar | sammy: which graphic card/drivers you have installed ? maybe its an problem there | 18:49 |
| sammy | nv drivers with a geforce2 mx - by far, nothing fancy. | 18:49 |
| sammy | edid seems to work just fine | 18:50 |
| ginge | Riddell: (sabayon-apply): Fatal exception! Exiting abnormally. ... File "/usr/sbin/sabayon-apply", line 106 | 18:50 |
| sammy | and it honors my 1280x1024 mode request | 18:50 |
| Riddell | ginge: sounds like a gnome bug that one | 18:50 |
| ginge | Riddell: damned gnome. | 18:51 |
| icewaterman | sammy: in monitor section try adding Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024@60" | 18:52 |
| icewaterman | and add a modeline named 1280x1024@60 | 18:52 |
| sammy | icewaterman: never heard of that option. lemme give it a try. (if you don't mind I'll use my 1280x1024@85 hz modeline) | 18:54 |
| icewaterman | sammy: as long as you add the appropriate modeline it doesnt matter | 18:55 |
| sammy | icewaterman: excellent. brb | 18:56 |

| crashhandler | argh | 18:57 |
| crashhandler | chinese fonts still cant be rendered properly in konqueror! | 18:57 |
| crashhandler | but no problem with firefox | 18:57 |
| genii | crashhandler: Have you tried View ... Set Encoding ... Manual ... And then choosing one of the Chinese fonts from there? | 19:00 |
| crashhandler | genii^ ive tried every set of chinese encoding there,but no luck,it still shows boxes | 19:00 |
| genii | crashhandler: Did you install xfonts-intl-chinese package? | 19:02 |
| crashhandler | genii^ yes | 19:03 |
| crashhandler | ive just installed opera | 19:04 |
| crashhandler | and chinese chars are shown properly | 19:04 |
| crashhandler | this is sad ,hahaa...because konqueror is lighter and faster | 19:04 |
| flipstar | did you restarted konqueror ? | 19:04 |
| crashhandler | yes | 19:04 |
| crashhandler | even ive restarted pc | 19:04 |
| flipstar | would had been too easy anyway :) | 19:05 |
| crashhandler | and also decharged the bios battery ^_^; | 19:05 |
| crashhandler | hahaahah | 19:05 |
| flipstar | crashhandler: you can set some fonts in konqueror>fonts | 19:06 |
| flipstar | there is an option for language specific encoding | 19:08 |
| sammy | icewaterman: the xorg log said that "NV(0): Option "PreferredMode" is not used", which is okay, because I found I had specified 1280x1024x85 not 1280x1024@85 for my first modeline in my screen section :) editing that fixed the resolution in both kdm and X once I started my session. why usplash ignores my settings in usplash.conf is another story. | 19:08 |
| crashhandler | flipstar^ no luck.i have changed the standard fonts from dejavu to simhei,but still got boxes!! | 19:08 |
| sammy | what have we learned today, kids? 10 years of editing X's config files and there's still a 99% chance, when something is wrong, that it's a user error :) | 19:08 |
| flipstar | hm it should take the settings from systemsetting>language anyway i guess | 19:10 |
| KalEl | hi... is there a chan for kubuntu hardy heron like #ubuntu+1 for ubuntu hardy heron? | 19:11 |
| flipstar | yep.. #ubuntu+1 :) | 19:11 |
| KalEl | ok thanks | 19:12 |
| euskedai | hi | 19:12 |
| roland | hello everyone | 19:13 |
| roland | could some1 help me with "dcop communication error" | 19:13 |
| roland | i face this error whenever i open most of the applications i have..! | 19:13 |
| roland | and in the end it asks me to check if "dcopserver" program is running | 19:13 |
| icewaterman | sammy: dunno about uspash | 19:15 |
| icewaterman | sammy: i had a similar problem just 2 days ago | 19:15 |
| sammy | icewaterman: that's okay. if it wants to draw the kubuntu splash at 1600x1200, it can knock itself out. thanks for the suggestions, I think that option might work on other drivers, like the nvidia, but not the nv | 19:15 |
| flipstar | sammy: you can specify the splash size in menu.lst from grub.. | 19:16 |
| sammy | I haven't started trying to play any nifty 3d games yet, so I haven't bothered to try the binary driver. | 19:17 |
| icewaterman | sammy: i get the Option "PreferredMode" is not used" as well but if i skip it, it will not give me 1280x1024 | 19:17 |
| sammy | flipstar: I'll try that, and if it flat-out ignores resolution specified in the usplash.conf, I'll see if someone has already filed a bug | 19:17 |
| icewaterman | so it seems to be lying | 19:17 |
| sammy | icewaterman: interesting! do you use nv or nvidia? or another driver? | 19:17 |
| icewaterman | sammy: radeon | 19:18 |
| icewaterman | because of their open source drivers i do not by nvidia anymore | 19:18 |
| icewaterman | the open source ati drivers i mean | 19:18 |
| icewaterman | nvidia can screw their binary shit somewhere else. | 19:18 |
| sammy | icewaterman: well, just to stick to the 'only changing one thing at a time' I commented out the line when I fixed my mistake, so it doesn't look like it does anything on the nv driver, not for me, anyway. 'worked as advertised' | 19:18 |
| roland | could some1 help me with "dcop communication error" | 19:18 |
| icewaterman | roland: logout, login and then hope it works again :) | 19:19 |
| flipstar | sammy: for e.g. adding vga=795 into kernel line in menu.lst will make the bootsplash 1024x1024 .. just google for it :) | 19:19 |
| noodles12 | i got jre installed for firefox. but it doesn't work for konqueror? do i install it again thru konqueror? | 19:19 |
| sammy | icewaterman: I remember feeling the same way over the last few years about nvidia and ati, but I haven't purchased a video card in... many, many years. | 19:19 |
| roland | icewaterman, did tht for the last 1 week.. same issue | 19:19 |
| icewaterman | roland: clean /tmp | 19:19 |
| roland | icewaterman, how do i do tht | 19:20 |
| icewaterman | roland: logout, press ctrl+alt+f1 | 19:20 |
| icewaterman | login as normal user | 19:20 |
| icewaterman | sudo to root | 19:20 |
| icewaterman | stop kdm | 19:20 |
| flipstar | icewaterman: nvidia binary driver works great here :=) | 19:20 |
| sammy | flipstar: oh, I'm not doubing you, I'm sure that will work, I just didn't know if it somehow uses a combination of vga settings on the kernel line and it's configuration file, or just ignores it's conf file completely, which is misleading | 19:20 |
| roland | icewaterman, how do i stop kdm | 19:20 |
| icewaterman | roland: /etc/init.d/kdm stop | 19:21 |
| roland | ok | 19:21 |
| roland | then.. | 19:21 |
| icewaterman | then remove all there is in /tmp | 19:21 |
| sammy | noodles12: when you say you got jre installed for firefox, did you use a package manager or install from the command line? or did you do the entire install through firefox? | 19:21 |
| roland | icewaterman, and then i start it back up?! | 19:21 |
| icewaterman | roland: cd /tmp | 19:21 |
| icewaterman | find -exec rm -rf '{}' \; | 19:21 |
| icewaterman | only in /tmp, otherwise it is going to hurt! | 19:22 |
| euskedai | hi how connect to printer in windows equipment | 19:22 |
| roland | ok | 19:22 |
| icewaterman | roland: /etc/init.d/kdm start | 19:22 |
| roland | ok | 19:22 |
| icewaterman | roland: see if problem is gone | 19:22 |
| gary_ | Evening.. | 19:22 |
| roland | so tht mean i logout get back in.. sudo to rood /kdm stop then cd /tmp then find -exec rm -rf .... then /kdm start | 19:23 |
| roland | right? | 19:23 |
| noodles12 | sammy: i think i just clicked the packages from adept_manager when i first installed kubuntu. it was awhile ago | 19:23 |
| flipstar | euskedai: install smbclient then K-button .. System ... Printing ... select New Printer ... Select Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) | 19:23 |
| icewaterman | roland: yes, and if this is a multi-user station, you should logout from the console again | 19:23 |
| sammy | noodles12: as far as I know, installing the jre through the package manager should make it available to both firefox and konqueror, but I'm going to go verify that. | 19:24 |
| icewaterman | otherwise someone else might use your root-account via ctrl+alt+f1 until you shut the box down | 19:24 |
| gary_ | Does anyone know how to transfer files to and from a Windows mobile device in Ubuntu? | 19:24 |
| coreymon77 | gary_: windows mobile as in a pocket pc? | 19:26 |
| gary_ | coreymon77: I guess.. Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional | 19:26 |
| sammy | gary_: which windows mobile device? are you trying usb or bluetooth? | 19:26 |
| gary_ | Usb | 19:26 |
| roland | ok icewaterman ill give it a try | 19:27 |
| roland | thanks | 19:27 |
| coreymon77 | gary_: you heard of synce | 19:27 |
| sammy | is there a setting on your device to put it into different usb modes? some phones have two modes, one for syncing with the software it expects to see running on the other end, and one as a usb drive, which should show up in ubuntu just like a usb key or usb hard drive | 19:27 |
| gary_ | coreymon77: Think so, but i really dont want to synchronize the phone. Just transfer files. | 19:28 |
| coreymon77 | sammy: or he could just use the synce package | 19:28 |
| gary_ | Can i do that with synce? | 19:28 |
| coreymon77 | gary_: oh, its a phone huh? | 19:28 |
| coreymon77 | gary_: does it use activesync on windows? | 19:29 |
| gary_ | Uhm... yes? | 19:29 |
| gary_ | And yes.. | 19:29 |
| coreymon77 | gary_: okay, then this should work | 19:29 |
| sammy | coreymon77: I assumed it was. though, I'm better with blackberries and nokias than windows mobile devices. I didn't know synce did file xfer too. nifty. | 19:29 |
| gary_ | k.. I'm all ears. | 19:29 |
| gary_ | I'm using Kitchensync to synchronize my Sony ERicsson phone with Kontact atm. Can i still do that if i install synce? | 19:30 |
| coreymon77 | gary_: you might, i dunno | 19:31 |
| coreymon77 | gary_: ive only used it to transfer files to my pda | 19:31 |
| coreymon77 | gary_: i think you can use anything to sync | 19:31 |
| gary_ | sammy: Windows mobile only has one mode. | 19:31 |
| coreymon77 | gary_: this just gets the thing connected | 19:31 |
| gary_ | ok? | 19:31 |
| gary_ | So sudo apt-get install synce and i'm home free? | 19:32 |
| coreymon77 | gary_: ya, this just allows the device to communicate with your computer | 19:32 |
| coreymon77 | gary_: no | 19:32 |
| gary_ | Darn it.. I knew it wasn't that easy. | 19:32 |
| coreymon77 | gary_: is it ever? :P | 19:33 |
| gary_ | I guess not.. | 19:33 |
| coreymon77 | gary_: okay then | 19:36 |
| gary_ | Uhm? | 19:36 |
| coreymon77 | first thing we gotta do is add a few repostories | 19:37 |
| gary_ | I'm reading up on synce | 19:37 |
| gary_ | synce is already in my apt-cache | 19:38 |
| gary_ | Found a wiki | 19:38 |
| coreymon77 | gary_: okay, you can use that | 19:38 |
| coreymon77 | gary_: follow a wiki for it | 19:38 |
| Erickj92 | how do i build and run my main.cpp in KDevelop? | 19:39 |
| gary_ | I just needed a pointer. I'd rather figure the rest out. | 19:39 |
| gary_ | Thanks for the tip corey.. | 19:39 |
| coreymon77 | no prob | 19:39 |
| flipstar | Erickj92: there is a ##c++ channel .. | 19:41 |
| ImLiz | Hello all, does one have execute the hplip.run command as superuser?? | 19:42 |
| Erickj92 | flipstar, it told me to ask here on the website for KDevelop | 19:42 |
| ImLiz | meaning "sudo sh hplip-2.8.2.run" or just "sh hplip-2.8.2.run" ? | 19:44 |
| flipstar | without sudo will install for current user only | 19:44 |
| flipstar | i guess | 19:45 |
| ImLiz | oh ok, thx flipstar | 19:45 |
| JasonWard | how do I do this. on windows to print an ascii character I'd type alt+code. how does it work on linux? | 19:46 |
| flipstar | JasonWard: try kcharselect | 19:46 |
| Erickj92 | how do i build a project in KDevelop? | 19:47 |
| JasonWard | flipstar: ? | 19:47 |
| JasonWard | i want to do this. alt+81 and then it will give me Q | 19:47 |
| flipstar | shift+alt gr + <key> let you choose some special keys | 19:48 |
| andres_ | holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | 19:49 |
| ImLiz | the hplip installer said "error: you are running the installer as root and it's highly recommended I run it as a non-root user" guess I have to run it w/o sudo | 19:50 |
| JasonWard | what is this altgr? wikipedia also suggests it but I don't have one | 19:50 |
| acemo | JasonWard: should be ur left alt button | 19:50 |
| flipstar | the alt on right side .. | 19:51 |
| flipstar | acemo: left ? | 19:51 |
| flipstar | you have your keyboard turned over? :P | 19:51 |
| JasonWard | flipstar: lol. it doesnt do anythin | 19:53 |
| JasonWard | +g | 19:53 |
| flipstar | try all keys except numpad | 19:53 |
| flipstar | i get ΩŁ€®Ŧ¥↑ıØާЪŊĦJ&Ł¦<>©‘’Nº×÷˙on my keyboard | 19:54 |
| acemo | flipstar: i dont have the gr part written on my keyboard n dun use it myself.. always guessing the wrong one | 19:54 |
| JasonWard | flipstar: still doesnt work. | 19:57 |
| flipstar | then you might try kcharselect as suggested first | 19:57 |
| king | icinizde turkce bilen varmi | 19:57 |
| flipstar | there is also an addon for kicker to switch it there | 19:57 |
| JasonWard | what is kcharselect? | 19:59 |
| coreymon77 | king: erm, english? | 19:59 |
| flipstar | a program..you can install via adept | 19:59 |
| jcfp | !tr | king | 19:59 |
| ubotu | king: Turk ubuntu kullanicilari, turkce yardim yada geyik icin #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. | 19:59 |
| JasonWard | so I have to use a third party program in order to type ascii with my keyboard? | 20:00 |
| flipstar | since you dont have an alt gr i dont have an other idea | 20:00 |
| flipstar | you can also try the taskbar extension for that | 20:01 |
| flipstar | but i already mentioned that | 20:01 |
| king | eyvallah ubuto | 20:02 |
| king | eyvallah ubotu | 20:02 |
| genii | I think we need a !yvw for ubotu | 20:06 |
| flipstar | which means..? | 20:08 |
| flipstar | oh, got it (thanks, google :P) | 20:09 |
| genii | heh | 20:09 |
| * genii hands jussi01 a mug of coffee | 20:14 | |
| * BluesKaj slurps a glass o' juice | 20:16 | |

| BluesKaj | hiya genii :) | 20:18 |
| jussi01 | someone remember how get something running in ssh and leave it running even after you close the ssh connection? | 20:19 |
| nosrednaekim | jussi01: I think you have to daemonize it... | 20:19 |
| JasonWard | flipstar: what taskbar extension? kcharselect? | 20:20 |
| flipstar | table of chairselect | 20:26 |
| nicholas_ | The guidance-power-manager claims my battery is at 0% even it is not. I used kpowermanager while I was on openSUSE, it claimed my battery is at 0% as well. What is the problem? Is it something with the HAL daemon or is my battery damaged? | 20:26 |
| nosrednaekim | probably something with HAL | 20:27 |
| nosrednaekim | or rather ACPI | 20:27 |
| nicholas_ | what should I do? | 20:27 |
| nicholas_ | nosrednaekim: ^^ | 20:28 |
| nicholas_ | nosrednaekim: Should I boot up with specific parameters? | 20:28 |
| nosrednaekim | nicholas_: if it doesn't support it, there isn't much you can do AFAIK.... google your laptop model and ubuntu and see what comes up, maybe someone found a workaround | 20:31 |
| angasule | how do I add shortname=winnt to the USB pendrive options permanently? | 20:36 |
| lascar | *music | 20:40 |
| flipstar | with e2label | 20:43 |
| flipstar | e2label device [ new-label ] | 20:44 |
| angasule | flipstar: was that for me? I guess not? | 20:46 |
| flipstar | yes it was | 20:48 |
| roland | icewaterman, hello | 20:48 |
| roland | icewaterman, i did wht u asked me to do.. /etc/init.d/kdm stop... it says no such file or directory | 20:49 |
| flipstar | roland: do you have kdm (kde) installed ? | 20:49 |
| icewaterman | roland dont tell me you did run the find command outside /tmp | 20:50 |
| icewaterman | because that would have potentially deleted all files on your system... | 20:50 |
| angasule | flipstar: well, e2label seems to apply to ext2, this is vfat (like all pendrives unless reformatted, AFAIK), and it changes the filesystem label, I need the mount option shortname to be set to winnt (rather than 'lower') | 20:50 |
| flipstar | icewaterman: not without sudo | 20:50 |
| roland | flipstar, well this is the first time i use ubuntu.. and it started giving me a dcopserver error... | 20:50 |
| roland | icewaterman, no i did tht! then got into cd /tmp... and did the find -exec... | 20:50 |
| icewaterman | firephoto: i told him to go sudo before because he needed to flush /tmp | 20:50 |
| mehmet | can anyone knowing c help me? | 20:51 |
| mehmet | i have a problem with my code | 20:51 |
| icewaterman | roland: lets hope so. | 20:51 |
| icewaterman | roland: what does dpkg -l kdm say? | 20:51 |
| roland | i didnt go sudo | 20:51 |
| icewaterman | roland: do you have kubuntu installed at all? | 20:52 |
| mehmet | is there anyone knowing c? | 20:52 |
| flipstar | angasule: no..its ext3 also see man e2label for details | 20:52 |
| roland | icewaterman, ubuntu... i went to ubuntu channel when i stated my problem they said i should ask here | 20:52 |
| angasule | flipstar: I did see man e2label | 20:52 |
| flipstar | so you read the "e2label - Change the label on an ext2/ext3 filesystem" | 20:52 |
| icewaterman | roland: if you have ubuntu installed then you should be in #ubuntu. ubuntu does not come with kdm but gdm instead | 20:53 |
| flipstar | angasule: oh wait you said vfat..? | 20:53 |
| angasule | flipstar: ext3 is ext2 + journalling, I know that, so what? I'm dealing with vfat | 20:53 |
| roland | icewaterman, they asked me to come here :s | 20:53 |
| nosrednaekim | roland: in recovery console, run "rm .DCOP*" in your homedirectory | 20:53 |
| roland | nosrednaekim, recovery console?! | 20:53 |
| flipstar | angasule: then you probably can do this with tune2fs | 20:53 |
| angasule | flipstar: YES, it's a USB pendrive, they all came with vfat, as I mentioned above, and I want to change a *mount option*, not a partition label | 20:54 |
| icewaterman | roland: well, i dunno if gnome does put temporary files to /tmp at all | 20:54 |
| === mehmet is now known as tripoli | ||
| flipstar | angasule: shortname means label to me .. | 20:54 |
| nosrednaekim | roland: in the login manager... the sessions button->session->failsafe | 20:54 |
| roland | ok | 20:54 |
| angasule | flipstar: are you serious? | 20:54 |
| roland | ill give it a try | 20:54 |
| roland | brb | 20:54 |
| posingaspopular | angasule: you mean, you want to change the mount point | 20:55 |
| angasule | I'll start from scratch | 20:55 |
| angasule | I want USB pen drives (one in particular, but in general would be cool), which come with VFAT, to mount using the OPTION shortname=winnt, that is NOT a label, it's a MOUNT OPTION, there is no fstab entry for them since kubuntu uses that pop-up dialog to make it more GUIfied | 20:56 |
| angasule | if anybody else mentions some ext2/ext3 tool, I'll send Steve Ballmer to your house, with extra chairs | 20:57 |
| Sevalecan | developers developers developers developers! | 20:58 |
| angasule | Sevalecan: now dance! | 20:59 |
| posingaspopular | you can do that using an alias afaik | 20:59 |
| posingaspopular | but dont quote me on that | 21:00 |
| angasule | posingaspopular: alias? how? where? searching for 'alias' won't be useful :) | 21:00 |
| posingaspopular | http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/03/30/creating-shortcuts-with-user-aliases/ | 21:01 |
| posingaspopular | thats probably better than I can hope to explain it | 21:01 |
| angasule | posingaspopular: those are shell aliases... | 21:03 |
| roland | it didnt work | 21:03 |
| angasule | am I in the twilight zone? or maybe Redmond? | 21:03 |
| roland | icewaterman, didnt work | 21:04 |
| icewaterman | roland: /etc/init.d/gdm stop and start will be what you need to get gdm stopped/started | 21:05 |
| roland | k | 21:05 |
| icewaterman | roland: though again, you are totally wrong here | 21:05 |
| roland | icewaterman, well i asked in ubuntu and AGAIN they pointed me here | 21:05 |
| icewaterman | roland: dcop is indeed a kde issue | 21:05 |
| icewaterman | but you problem is most likely ubuntu related nontheless | 21:06 |
| icewaterman | roland: you might have more luck in #kde | 21:06 |
| roland | icewaterman, no lusck again | 21:13 |
| roland | icewaterman, when i tried doing tht, it gave me once again... no such file or directory | 21:13 |
| icewaterman | roland: ls -l /etc/init.d/gdm | 21:13 |
| icewaterman | if that one is not there, then you have a problem... | 21:14 |
| JasonWard | how do I make a file executable? | 21:14 |
| icewaterman | or are not running ubuntu | 21:14 |
| JasonWard | I type | 21:14 |
| JasonWard | chmod u+x b.py | 21:14 |
| posingaspopular | ./file.py | 21:14 |
| neverendingo | angasule: if i understand correctly, the the fourth field in fstab is what you are looking for. you can type in whatever option you need. it just needs to be comma-separated. see man fstab or man mount | 21:15 |
| JasonWard | chmod u+x b.py, is not setting the executable flag. why? | 21:16 |
| roland | icewaterman, its there.. | 21:16 |
| neverendingo | JasonWard: try it with u+x, without whitespace | 21:17 |
| icewaterman | roland then run it | 21:17 |
| icewaterman | but gdm stop/start will not help you with kde issues | 21:17 |
| JasonWard | neverendingo: there is no whitespace in chmod u+x b.py | 21:18 |
| angasule | neverendingo: kubuntu doesn't have an fstab entry for USB drives | 21:18 |
| neverendingo | oh, sry, missread | 21:18 |
| JasonWard | ok | 21:18 |
| angasule | anyway, someone else already gave me an answer in another channel, which doesn't look very kubuntuish, but at least it should work | 21:18 |
| JasonWard | chmod u+x b.py, is not setting the executable flag. why? | 21:23 |

| Dragnslcr | motya- it doesn't take root access to delete everything out of your home directory | 22:33 |
| motya | yeah :) | 22:33 |
| carlzenox | can i use C++ on kubuntu? | 22:33 |
| motya | wow | 22:34 |
| motya | this question rox! | 22:34 |
| motya | :D | 22:34 |
| lazarus | how do i coustomize ubuntu | 22:34 |
| Dragnslcr | carlzenox- sure, gcc/g++ works fine | 22:34 |
| motya | KDE written in C++ | 22:34 |
| carlzenox | k | 22:34 |
| andycr | carlzenox: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 22:34 |
| Dragnslcr | !themes | lazarus | 22:34 |
| ubotu | lazarus: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 22:34 |
| motya | wtf? | 22:34 |
| lazarus | i am consfused with how to install themes due to the terminal thing | 22:35 |
| Dragnslcr | !changethemes | 22:36 |
| ubotu | To change gnome themes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy. Kubuntu themes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu. Xubuntu users should /msg ubotu xfce-themes | 22:36 |
| andycr | lazarus: On Gnome themes are drag and drop. On KDE, they are a bit less forgiving. | 22:36 |
| === Czessi_ is now known as Czessi | ||
| andycr | Your best bet is to find .deb files of the themes you want | 22:36 |
| lazarus | i have gome/kde installed | 22:36 |
| andycr | lazarus: Yes, but gnome themes will only work on gnome, and you said you are using kde now | 22:37 |
| lazarus | where can i find .deb themes only | 22:38 |
| motya | nowhere | 22:38 |
| andycr | lazarus: I would search kde-look for deb | 22:38 |
| motya | its really dumb | 22:38 |
| motya | use kcontrol | 22:38 |
| andycr | motya: ? | 22:38 |
| lazarus | what is xubuntu | 22:38 |
| motya | there u can find "install new themes" | 22:38 |
| andycr | lazarus: Ubuntu with XFCE | 22:38 |
| motya | use downloaded tgz file from kde-look.org | 22:39 |
| motya | thats all | 22:39 |
| === Czessi is now known as czessi_ | ||
| andycr | motya: They made a front end for compiling the theme engines? | 22:39 |
| motya | mope | 22:39 |
| motya | nope | 22:39 |
| motya | dunno really | 22:39 |
| andycr | motya: Ah, I assumed he meant widget themes, maybe he meant icon themes | 22:40 |
| lazarus | XFCE? sorry complete noob | 22:40 |
| === czessi_ is now known as Czessi__ | ||
| === Czessi__ is now known as Czessi_ | ||
| motya | What? | 22:40 |
| carlzenox | so the g++ thing just save my files as .cpp? | 22:40 |
| andycr | lazarus: Don't worry about it, XFCE is mostly just for old computers | 22:40 |
| andycr | carlzenox: I think you're looking for an IDE. GCC is just a compiler - what turns your code into machine code. | 22:41 |
| Dragnslcr | carlzenox- if you're looking for a full IDE, KDevelop is pretty good | 22:41 |
| carlzenox | k | 22:41 |
| andycr | KDevelop is good, and Eclipse is, in my opinion, excellent | 22:42 |
| lazarus | how do i install beryl | 22:42 |
| === Czessi_ is now known as Czessi__ | ||
| dvoid | im having a problem with samba , i tried to share a directory, and when i try to browse it with konqueror it says "the file or folder smb://192.168.0.7/things does not exist." but i can see the share when browsning shares, but i cant browse the share itself. i have cheked for permissions etc and cant find anything wrong, any ideas? | 22:42 |
| Dragnslcr | You don't | 22:42 |
| Dragnslcr | Beryl has been merged back into Compiz | 22:42 |
| andycr | lazarus: Beryl is ancient, the new desktop effects program is compiz-fusion and is installed by default. | 22:42 |
| Dragnslcr | Not in Kubuntu it isn't | 22:43 |
| Dragnslcr | It's only installed by default in Ubuntu | 22:43 |
| lazarus | on KDE? aswell | 22:43 |
| Dragnslcr | Compiz doesn't always work perfectly with KDE | 22:43 |
| andycr | Dragnslcr: I thought he said he started with Ubuntu and installed KDE manually, maybe I misunderstood | 22:43 |
| Dragnslcr | Oh, maybe | 22:43 |
| Dragnslcr | I missed that part | 22:43 |
| lazarus | yes i did | 22:43 |
| andycr | lazarus: The system you're running right now - did you install Ubuntu with gnome then set KDE up, or did you install Kubuntu? | 22:44 |
| andycr | Ah | 22:44 |
| andycr | Ok, in that case | 22:44 |
| Dragnslcr | So yeah, Compiz is probably already installed | 22:44 |
| andycr | Yeah | 22:44 |
| andycr | There's a compatibility package | 22:44 |
| carlzenox | omg this is gona be gay | 22:44 |
| andycr | Which makes compiz work better with KDE | 22:44 |
| carlzenox | do i have to re learn C++ for linux? | 22:44 |
| Dragnslcr | carlzenox- huh? | 22:44 |
| andycr | carlzenox: We don't even know what program you used on your previous operating system | 22:45 |
| carlzenox | windows O.o | 22:45 |
| andycr | lazarus: Install "compiz-kde" | 22:45 |
| andycr | carlzenox: No, I mean the program you used to do C++ work | 22:45 |
| Dragnslcr | carlzenox- the language itself is the same on any operating system, only some functions may or may not be available | 22:45 |
| carlzenox | Dev-C++ | 22:45 |
| lazarus | via terminal | 22:45 |
| andycr | lazarus: Either that or with synaptic | 22:45 |
| andycr | "sudo apt-get install compiz-kde" or synaptic->compiz-kde->install | 22:46 |
| andycr | carlzenox: The language is exactly the same | 22:46 |
| carlzenox | i dont thing int main() works | 22:46 |
| Dragnslcr | I don't know why it wouldn't | 22:47 |
| andycr | carlzenox: It does. | 22:47 |
| andycr | try | 22:47 |
| andycr | Adding "int main() { return 0; }" to a file | 22:47 |
| andycr | Then g++ (the file you saved) -o programname | 22:47 |
| andycr | then ./programname | 22:47 |
| andycr | Will get you the most basic setup possible | 22:47 |
| carlzenox | undefined reference to `main' | 22:48 |
| we6jbo | hi | 22:48 |
| cannon | hi | 22:48 |
| andycr | carlzenox: Please paste your code at pastebin.ca | 22:48 |
| andycr | Then link us to it | 22:48 |
| andycr | It's probably a minor mistake | 22:48 |
| we6jbo | What package do I need to install a NIS client on this machine? | 22:48 |
| andycr | lazarus: After that completes you should be able to start compiz with "compiz --replace" | 22:49 |
| === Czessi-m is now known as Czessi-m_ | ||
| carlzenox | http://pastebin.ca/950942 | 22:49 |
| andycr | Assuming your card is set up | 22:49 |
| andycr | carlzenox: The code is fine, can you explain how you're trying to compile it? | 22:50 |
| andycr | (IE what you're typing into the terminal to compile it) | 22:50 |
| === Czessi-m_ is now known as Czessi-m__ | ||

| nick_ | how to install xgl | 22:51 |
| andycr | and your c++ file is called "lol"? that's the right file? | 22:51 |
| carlzenox | ya :p | 22:51 |
| andycr | you may try adding .cpp to the end of the name both of the file and in the command | 22:52 |
| andycr | It may use that to determine the file type. I doubt it, but it's worth a try | 22:52 |
| lazarus | i think it messed up | 22:52 |
| andycr | lazarus: ? | 22:52 |
| === Czessi__ is now known as Czessi | ||
| andycr | carlzenox: Yes, I get an error when I don't use a file extension of .cpp, so try that | 22:53 |
| lazarus | now i have no x in theto close my apps with lol tio right corner | 22:53 |
| andycr | lazarus: Hmm. That could be one of two things. | 22:53 |
| lazarus | damn touch pad mouse | 22:54 |
| andycr | Can you move the windows if you hold down alt and drag over any part of them? | 22:54 |
| Daisuke_Ido | lazarus, compiz? | 22:54 |
| carlzenox | andycr: it makes the executable fiile but it wont open when i click it | 22:54 |
| Daisuke_Ido | emerald --replace | 22:54 |
| andycr | carlzenox: It's opening, but you can't see what it's doing because it's a console program | 22:55 |
| lazarus | nope | 22:55 |
| andycr | carlzenox: You need to go into the terminal you compiled it with (or one in the same folder) and type: | 22:55 |
| andycr | ./programname | 22:55 |
| andycr | (programname replaced with the name of your program) | 22:55 |
| andycr | that runs it | 22:55 |
| andycr | you should see the output in the terminal you use | 22:56 |
| carlzenox | you get 1 free rape token :D | 22:56 |
| andycr | carlzenox: What are you talking about? | 22:56 |

| Orfeous | are there any application like Dreamweaver in Windows? for ubuntu? | 23:00 |

| andycr | Though the last time I used dreamweaver was around 10 years ago, so who knows if I remember it correctly | 23:01 |

| ahmos | hi, can any body tell me why after installing some programmes i don't find an icon for it in the k menu and every time i must run it from terminal,and when i close trminal the programme is closed too?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 23:25 |
| Daisuke_Ido | first thing, one exclamation point is more than enough | 23:27 |
| ahmos | :D | 23:28 |
| Daisuke_Ido | second, what programs, and are you installing them through adept? | 23:28 |
| ahmos | alot,but for example xpenguins | 23:29 |
| ahmos | Daisuke_Ido: where r u? | 23:33 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you haven't answered the question -_- | 23:33 |
| Daisuke_Ido | are you installing from the repos? | 23:34 |
| ahmos | i have (alot,but for example xpenguins) | 23:34 |
| ahmos | yes | 23:34 |
| Daisuke_Ido | hmm | 23:34 |
| Daisuke_Ido | well, is there an "other" or "lost and found" in your kmenu? | 23:34 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i ask because i've given up on kde until 4 stops being horrible :) | 23:35 |
| ahmos | no | 23:35 |
| Jucato | ahmos: press Alt+F2, and run "kbuildsycoca" then check the menu if some of those were added to the menu | 23:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | hey, nice :) | 23:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i actually didn't know about that | 23:36 |
| Jucato | 1. Some programs do not really get added to the menu (like command line stuff, maybe some games). | 23:36 |
| Jucato | 2. You might be able to find some apps that can be added to the menu by running "kappfinder" and checking those that you want to add automatically | 23:37 |
| Jucato | 3. Worst case scenario, you can add a menu entry for the app yourself, although if it's a command line app, that will be a bit useless | 23:37 |
| ahmos | aha.but kbuildsycoca didn't work | 23:38 |
| ahmos | i can't find kmail to in my k menu | 23:39 |
| ahmos | i must start it with terminal | 23:39 |
| Jucato | aah Kubuntu removed that because you can find KMail in Kontact | 23:39 |
| Jucato | you don't need to start it from the terminal. you can run it from Kontact, or press Alt+F2 and run it from there | 23:40 |
| ahmos | ah u r right :) | 23:40 |
