[00:00] is there any essential functionality missing from 804-beta-KDE4? or does everything pretty much work? === dude_ is now known as phoku2 [00:21] Roos [00:33] Hi. [00:34] I installed emerald and compiz, and imported a theme into the Emerald theme manager. How do I activate the theme? (emerald --replace doesn't work, and compiz --replace messes up the desktop and forces me to restart), help? [00:34] Nutzebahn: Open emerald theme manager. [00:35] Nutzebahn: double-click on the theme [00:36] Odd-rationale: Double click it inside Emerald theme manager? Because that didn't work. [00:36] Nutzebahn: hmm. dunno then. That is what i always have done... [00:37] Nutzebahn: after you click it, often you have to restart emerald [00:39] nosrenaekim: How do I restart it? [00:39] Nutzebahn: #compiz [00:40] anyone good with vmware? [00:40] or know of any good alternatives [00:40] VirtualBox. [00:41] will that allow me to create a vm *and* run it? [00:41] Yes. [00:41] It is free and open source. [00:41] oh cool [00:42] that's what I'm looking for [00:42] :) [00:43] I actually have a couple more issues... [00:44] well, I have many issues, but specifically kubuntu based ones [00:44] is there any essential functionality missing from 804-beta-KDE4? or does everything pretty much work? [00:44] Nutzebahn: emerald --replace restarts it [00:44] Armagguedes: I'm not sure... I haven't used it...,... you can ask in #ubuntu+1 [00:44] first off I have a partial install of vmware workstation that won't uninstall fully [00:45] I'm stuck and I don't know what to do [00:50] any advice? :D [00:51] nosrednaekim: emerald replace isn't doing anything. [00:53] Nutzebahn: try asking in #compiz-fusion [00:55] using the same conky script that worked in ubuntu but in kubuntu the window isn't transparent [01:05] *sigh* I hate being a noob... I have the debian package for virtualbox, but I don't know how to install it [01:06] Double click it. [01:06] I did that... I get "utility is not in your PATH, please contact admin" [01:08] so confused [01:10] I can't install Ubuntu. Alternate cd or otherwise. Kubuntu installs just fine, I'm running it now. Ubuntu just seems to hate me, 64 bit or otherwise. [01:10] Any ideas? [01:10] none here [01:11] galfrid: if your GUI environ won't run anything if you double click it, use 'sudo dpkg -i vbox-package-name.deb' [01:11] I get an "Errno 5 Check cd for defects, clean disk drive, or move to a cooler enviroment." [01:11] first, maybe read 'man dpkg' quickly [01:11] I've burned like 4 different cds already, and none work.

[01:41] vlt, no [01:41] frank23: if your working to the sector try cfdisk or fdisk [01:42] vlt: no. to be honest, checkinstall is not recommended/shunned by them :) [01:42] how many iterations are requiired... so erase the hard disk secure with SHRED?

[01:46] Apple_Cat: not sure [01:46] Armagguedes: try firestarter? [01:46] k, thanks anyway :) [01:47] guarddog, firestarter.. what else is there? [01:47] not aware of any others [01:47] !firewall [01:47] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

[01:55] nonewmsgs: I resemble being called a 'no one' :) [01:56] nonewmsgs: s/resemble/resent/ [01:56] pat5star: resent? :) [01:56] hehe [01:56] kgoetz: :) [01:57] c-ron: you don't have to upgrade to hardy yet for kde4, I'm on gutsy and have kde4 installed, and can choose from my login screen whether to boot kde3 or kde4 [01:58] pat5star, nice. [01:58] how do i specify a user/group for samba for an ntfs mount ? [01:58] c-ron: I can look for the link for you if you want, but it's in ubuntu's how to guide...very easy to do [01:58] for Hardy-related questions: #ubuntu+1 and for KDE4 questions: #kubuntu-kde4 [01:59] okay... pat5star .. that's okay... i just want to upgrade to see how may bugs i can find and help fix to that the next ubuntu rocks hard like death metal [01:59] * pat5star is very impressed with kde4, but still using kde3.5 till some last bugs are ironed out [01:59] quick question about KDE 4, how do you change the clock from 24 hour to am/pm? [02:00] drbrown: might find more KDE4 users in #kubuntu-kde4 [02:00] sorry [02:00] thanks [02:01] c-ron: that's cool of you. I'd like to do that too but not very helpful, if only they needed java programmers :P [02:02] actually my last statement got me wondering...what is kde programmed in mostly? If I had to guess, I'd say c++ [02:02] mostly C++ [02:03] you can user other languages as long as there are bindings for them [02:03] pat5star: KDE in C++. A lot of apps that come with Kubuntu were written in Python (PyQT) [02:03] Jucato: ya, and I'm lost in that...been poking around a little with C lately but still much to learn [02:03] (the system config apps, that is0 [02:03] Artimus: pyKDE [02:03] Jucato: but I doubt Java is one of them [02:03] Jucato: sure, my mistake [02:04] pat5star: KDE doesn't have one yet. but there's Qyoto for Qt+Java [02:04] er sorry [02:04] Jambi [02:04] Jambi = Qt + Java (from Trolltech). Qyoto = Qt + Mono (3rd-party) [02:04] pat5star: you don't need to learn C before you start learning C++ [02:04] if C++ is your goal [02:05] C > C++ [02:05] Jucato: I make a living programming server side, which java excels at. I've never had the need for C or C++, but wish I had taken the time to learn it, just so I could help with add ons, bug fixes. Hard to fit into my schedule tho :( [02:06] kgoetz: ">" statements are mostly subjective :) [02:06] anyway let's not get into a programming language discussion here [02:06] Jucato: sure :) [02:07] Jucato: agrees, but vi is better than emacs :P [02:07] :( ubotu doesnt start wars [02:07] (btw kgoetz, if you say C > C++, you should love GTK/GNOME more :P) [02:07] Jucato: i run GNOME :P [02:07] pat5star: none of that either :P [02:07] how bad is the performance when I use kubuntu with an encrypted file system? It's is maybe better to create a encrypted patition for the user home? [02:07] heh [02:07] Jucato: just kidding around...that's got to be one of the oldest flame war starter topics, don't you think? lol [02:08] pat5star: C vs C++ is I think older :P [02:08] pat5star: i think unix v multis is older :D [02:08] let's keep it objective, like 5>4, or kde > gnome [02:08] Jucato: i'd be supprised, both tools predate C++ [02:08] kgoetz: oh right... C++ hehe [02:08] anyway [02:08] hmmmm...I've never got into a lively discussion about which program vs another program is the best for starting flame wars :P [02:09] me neither [02:09] pat5star: dpkg > ubotu (it has 'start an [editor,language] war) as afunction ;) [02:09] (dpkg debians bot, not the package management tool) [02:10] * Jucato dons his op hat and raises the !offtopic warning flag [02:10] kaffeine > starbucks [02:10] sorry [02:11] anyway now for some support [02:11] * kgoetz tempts fate by takin Jucato 's hat and putting it on prince_jammys [02:11] (then stops tempting) [02:11] netscape vs IE? mozilla vs opera? mac vs linux? vi vs emacs? kubuntu vs ubuntu (to feebly attempt to bring it back on topic!), dolphin vs konqueror? etc. etc. etc. lol [02:12] or actually how about a serious one? I use konversation with kubuntu...what does everyone else use in kubuntu for an irc client? [02:13] konversation [02:13] I use irssi, via ssh. [02:13] i tend to use xchat on all my mchines and os's [02:13] :) [02:13] td-linux uses konversation ;) [02:13] embrace diversity [02:14] anyone use guarddog? i need to open ports for dcc [02:15] prince_jammys: is that an irc client?

[02:51] oren, a download tool. [02:51] i use easynews.com [02:51] gets files basically [02:51] wget ftp://foobar.zip [02:51] Its very handy in scripts and so forth.

[03:11] grub [03:11] ah its in boot/grub [03:11] tip of the day. learn to use the locate command. [03:11] locate menu.lst [03:11] :) [03:11] where should i type that next time? [03:11] shell [03:11] !shell [03:11] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[03:13] you can execute shell commands in converstion [03:13] one more question, to open a program under root permissions i type "kdesu konqueror" (or w/e the program is) but when i try and open a .txt file it says "KDEInit could not launch kate" [03:13] maduser, locate uses a database for its searches use 'sudo updatedb' to update the database. It auto updates like once a day [03:13] dose some one know how to dissable fsck on startup? [03:14] Dr_willis: thing that hurts slocate IMHO is that when I need to find a file that I just recently put in and/or installed, I have to wait a minute for the database to rebuild (ie: sudo updatedb) [03:14] tahir, for root level editing of files. you proberly want to use kdesu kate /path/to/file [03:14] dwidmann, its a tradeoff. [03:14] /home/kevin/.sudo_as_admin_successful [03:14] /etc/pam.d/sudo [03:14] /etc/sudoers [03:14] /var/lib/dpkg/info/kdesudo.list [03:14] /var/lib/dpkg/info/kdesudo.postrm [03:14] indeed [03:14] tahir, or better learn to use the console editor. sudo nano /path/to/file [03:14] tahir, running the gui file manager as root - can cause problems. [03:14] im guessing alot of stuff is done in console in linux? [03:15] yeah [03:15] ah kk, im going to have to get use to that [03:15] sorry for the lame questions, i just started [03:15] tahir, its easier from an irc-tech point of view to tell you a text command :) [03:16] Dr_willis: viiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [03:16] linux is all about layers. [03:16] often its much easier to use a command, then a gui tool [03:16] ah ic [03:16] so how long does it take to get use to it [03:16] heh I first learned about layers from the OSI model [03:17] ive been a windows user for years now and i finally think i have enough knowledge to start linux [03:17] can you use command prompt? [03:17] yep [03:18] but alot of the basic stuff [03:18] nothing too complex for me [03:18] then unix should be easy' [03:18] tahir: sounds like an *** backwards approach. Coming from another OS can actually make it harder to learn Linux [03:18] uh oh [03:18] Lots of habits to break .. [03:19] like? [03:19] GUI overdependence? [03:19] well i just figured a semi pro user of windows is the same as a linux nub [03:19] the kubuntu system settings seems to be short of many options, is there a way to get the usual kde settings menu? [03:20] lanoxx: alt + space then type "exec kcontrol" [03:21] learn the fundamentals, link the basics together. :) [03:21] whats kapult for anyway? [03:21] dwidmann: cool, thanks. i wonder why there is no link to it in the menu [03:21] a pro-windows user - has just memorized where all the setting tools are at in windows.. :) [03:21] lanoxx: you can add one [03:21] maduser: quickly launching things [03:22] sure, now i know [03:23] lanoxx: right click on the panel, configure panel, menus tab, optional menus box, check "settings" [03:23] hah its true Dr_willis [03:23] windows just makes things so much easier [03:23] but thats probably because im use to it [03:24] windows makes some things much harder.. [03:24] to be honest, linux kind of scares me [03:24] tahir: it is .... after a while you'll find that some things are a pain in Windows when compared with Linux in general [03:25] dwidmann: thanks, its there now :) [03:25] brb [03:25] have to restart [03:25] half the problems new users have with linux - is their bad-windows-habbits getting in the way [03:25] anyone know what %F does in wxvlc %F [03:26] lanoxx, i would guess 'path/filename' [03:28] its strange, typing wxvlc dvd:// in the console plays the dvd, but when i set it in the autoplay settings i get /media/cdrom0 is not a file [03:29] Hello everyone. I have two problems. [03:30] One, Firefox is stopping my X server for no apparent reason. I thought it was Flash, but that wasn't it. [03:30] lanoxx, it may be trying to mount /media/cdrom0 when it shouldbe /media/cdrom [03:30] Also my networking service isn't starting at boot up, even though it's listed as starting up on boot in System Services. [03:35] Dr_willis, lannoxx: no, apparently it forces that argument onto the command even though you didn't put it there, I was never able to get that to work either [03:36] make a script that takes the arument and trims out the extra bits I guess? [03:36] I never play dvd's :) and i never want to autoplay or autostart anything with optical media either. [03:36] :) [03:37] need help with dcc [03:40] need help with scandisk usb flash drive [03:41] * Dr_willis waits for some more details [03:41] you have to mount a drive before you can use it [03:41] i can't dcc get [03:41] have tried opening ports [03:41] etc etc [03:41] i think it's guarddog [03:42] how do I get to system services on disk, not just files [03:42] but doc on that is rather poor? [03:42] you could just disable the firewal competely asobi get the files.. then reenable it. [03:42] i could [03:42] tiffany, that made no secne to me what so ever. [03:42] but isn't there a way to do with the firewall on? [03:43] asobi, proberly - see if theres a iptables faq/howto, and perhaps the guarddog web site/faq/forums may have the exact settings you need. [03:43] I dont use a firewall My router handles it. [03:43] besides, i am not certain it's the firewall [03:43] on the S3 scandisk is a format and programs it says linux comp. but its not working right [03:43] that's the thing, the guarddog documentation is very poor [03:44] asobi, its just a gui to the iptables commands.. so you could use guarddog to build the iptables rules, then edit the rules as you want. [03:44] if you have a router also. it might be the router causing the problems [03:44] i opened ports in router already [03:45] and i think i did for firwall as well [03:45] think is the operative word [03:45] asobi, so you say it works with the firewall being disabled? [03:45] no [03:45] let me try that now [03:46] if the router has a 'dmz' setting - set that pc to be in the dmz, and disable the firewall, see if it works. :) [03:46] yes [03:46] works with firewall off [03:46] Can anyone figure out why my network service is not starting at boot up? [03:47] so clearly it's the firewall [03:47] -__ [03:47] * asobi goes back to reading [03:48] asobi, do you even need the firewall? [03:48] O.o [03:48] the router is proberly blocking most of all what you want blocked. [03:49] THis isent windows. :) [03:49] well [03:49] i don't really know much about routers [03:50] I doubt if you are gaining much by the firewall. of course its a good topic to learn about [03:50] i know port forwarding and similar simple tasks [03:50] but otherwise, not much else [03:50] heh [03:50] use one of those network scan sites to see what it says about your router. [03:50] link? [03:50] google.com [03:50] :) [03:50] I dont know what sites are around any more. grc.com used to be popular. [03:51] any one will work? [03:51] or do i need one for kubuntu? [03:51] try several.... [03:51] there are none specific for a single os. [03:51] They are web sites taht scan your ip - and tell you what ports are open === Randune is now known as Randuni [03:53] hi all [03:54] thanks, scanning now [03:54] can I ask a question in here about Kubuntu 8.04 beta? [03:54] do it in #kubuntu+1 [03:54] k..thx [03:54] maybe it's #ubuntu+1 [04:00] hi all [04:00] when I boot the beta cd and select the option "try kubuntu without altering your system"..I just get dumped to: Busybox v1.1.3 (initramfs) _ [04:02] i assume you mean live cd? [04:02] check if you meet system requirements [04:03] or better yet, wait for official release? [04:09] Can uNSLUng 6.10 use a Fat16/Fat32 disk or does it have to be etx3? [04:10] I found the prob..thx all === bones is now known as SRN9 [04:12] Hey just a qestion, anyone know how to get a video off of a verizon phone with sound? [04:17] Hey,is there a reason why my screen saver doesn't come on? I'm running Kubuntu 7.10... There is no error. [04:18] sounds offtopic, SRN9; #kubuntu-offtopic [04:20] What sounds offtopic? [04:21] OK, this chat is dead today... [04:21] Bye! [04:21] argh [04:22] heh [04:25] Hmm...

[04:54] comes with mondo and mindi [04:55] comes with lots of apps - if you have a partition somewhere to move stuff to it can save some stuff from ailing drives [04:56] can i clone from hard drive to hard drive?

I used to use no-ip, but that was under windoze, dunno if they have a linux tool. [05:42] Most companies don't seem to like supporting linux. :( [05:43] my router does dyndns, so i havent checked for client side tools personally [05:43] yeah :( [05:43] Yet half of them use linux for their servers and such... [05:44] because no ones told management yet ;) [05:44] And more and more offices are switching to linux too (especially with Windows S***sta). [05:50] most of them cant see any profit in supporting linux. but they see profit in using linux [05:52] Exactly. [05:54] Most of them probably end up developing their own specialized drivers and software (for stuff they can't find or get the needed performance out of with freely available stuff). Yet, they never sell or release any of it. [05:54] With perhaps a few exceptions... [05:55] iirc ESR estimates 90% of code is written for in house use, and stays in house [05:55] I don;t think they realize just how large the linux community is, for personal or business. [05:56] They are probably right. And all of that is essentially money down the tubes unless they get alot of use out of what's developed. [05:56] Developers in those settings don't do it for free ya know... [06:03] re-align: so? if they had to write it in the first place they have to support it. theres no loss in making it public [06:04] Exactly. [06:04] And yet...they don't...

[07:30] i still have to load it everytime [07:30] save view profile "File aaManagement" works here for me.

[07:39] is there a 'home' icon in the menu? drag it to the desktop/panel see if that works [07:39] i deleted that button [07:39] !dolphin [07:39] Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. [07:40] Dr_willis: I had read in Kubuntu forums that I could change it to /usr/bin/kdm . What do you think? [07:40] How can I get dolphin to open folders with hidden files shown as default? [07:40] caris_mere, that makes MUCH more sence to me. then to the kde4 kdm login tool.. which you removed me [07:41] caris_mere, thas what that dpkg-reconfigure command i gave earlier basicially doies [07:42] !automate [07:42] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [07:42] Dr_willis: I used the dpkg-reconfigure command, but it still puts the kde2 kdm in that file [07:43] can dolphine split view into top/bottom? [07:43] caris_mere, that sounds like a bug to me. [07:44] ere4si: doesn't seem to be a dcop command for flipping it either, so I think that rules out the option of turning on view hidden files within a startup script [07:44] dolphine was rather basic lsat i used it. [07:44] dwidmann: thnx for the efort :) [07:44] *effort [07:45] ere4si: well, that was d3lphin anyway, I wonder about dolphin [07:45] it's such a necessary feature for me [07:45] the kde4 dolphin does not have the problem with hidden files [07:45] * dwidmann installs kdbus [07:45] how can i default konqueror into file manager instead of browser? [07:45] !dolphin | asobi [07:45] asobi: Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. [07:46] asobi: sorry [07:46] juss, i am being unclear. when i click on konqueror, i want it to open as file manager, not web browser [07:47] asobi: read wrong. change your menu item command to open: kfmclient openProfile filemanagement [07:47] newb here. how do i do that? [07:48] /usr/bin/konqueror --profile filemanagement works also [07:48] and i have it set as a quick launch button now [07:48] asobi: right click on it, edit item [07:48] Dr_willis: I am currently getting in by using the failsafe bootup and then typing kdm art the command line...and it has been working [07:48] in the kmenu that is [07:49] caris_mere, you could just put 'kdm' in the rc.local :) [07:49] ah [07:49] and change cmd [07:49] im glad i never tried the kde4 stuff yet. [07:49] yes :) [07:49] I wish I hadn't [07:50] thank you [07:50] asobi: yw [07:50] awww, kdbus doesn't seem to want to work :( [07:51] why did they change to dolphine? konqueror is superior ~_~ [07:52] asobi: good question .... konqueror > d3lphin. [07:53] they wanted to make things more 'user friendly' [07:54] * asobi finds konqueror more intuitive @_@ [07:54] wow, kde menu editor is great [07:55] indeed [07:55] Dr_willis: bah ..... screw user friendly [07:56] dont get me started on bending over backwards for users that dont want to learn how to use their tools. :) [07:56] But hay,, i tend to use mc in a xterm 90% of the time [07:56] haha [07:56] mc is NOT user friendly =P [07:57] i figured out how to set up and install my second sata drive, but i'm having permissions problems [07:58] i have chmod 666 /dev/sdb1 [07:58] asobi, i find it very user friendly [07:58] and also chmod 666 /archive (the mount point) [07:58] Dr_willis: it works now...did the manual changing of the session manager [07:58] its rather stright forward and everything is lavled.. it says F8 = Delete... [07:58] what more do ya want. [07:58] :) [07:58] * asobi is visual =P [07:58] but when i use a non su terminal and try to cd to /archive i get "permission denied" [07:58] mc is very visual. [07:58] Dr_willis: kioslaves? [07:58] 2 panes, a from and to... :) [07:58] pictures [07:58] gui [07:58] dwidmann, wthats what the fusekio stuff is for [07:59] asobi, mc can show images and videos on the console. [07:59] :) [07:59] i'm a total linux newbie, but the console is awesome [07:59] oh?! [07:59] totally sweet [07:59] or under X it even launches other apps [07:59] or at least it CAN if configured right [07:59] * asobi only tried mc once...maybe i will look at it again [07:59] when you are doing some system rescue and need to do some complex filemanagement from the terminal. Mc is hard to beat [08:00] mc is powerful...just not user friendly =P [08:00] does anyone know how to give a normal user permissions to a mount point when chmod 666 doesn't do the trick? [08:00] * jussio1 feels this discussion is getting offtopic, can we move back to support please? [08:00] asobi, i define it as bveing user friendly. [08:00] ummm, fine, off to offtopic I go [08:00] userfriendly does not have to mean crippled. [08:00] :) [08:00] simula, you normally DONT EVER chmod a mountpoint. [08:01] simula, the fstab has a 'user' or 'users' opton to allow the users to mount filesystems [08:01] specific filesystem have other options as well [08:01] i dinked around in fstab with pico.... i guess i'll do more fstab research [08:01] thanks dr. willis [08:01] ugh [08:01] how do i install xgl in kubuntu 7.10? [08:01] fstab and mounting - are a must learn about aspect of linux. :) [08:01] !xgl [08:01] Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion [08:02] simula: man fstab = good source of research [08:02] thanks dwidmann... thanks to you guys i'm starting to get up to speed on this linux thing :) [08:02] also, i installed the linux-restricted- drivers package but when i go to the restricted drivers app. and enter my root password it still stays greyed out and i can't enable the restricted nvidia drivers... [08:02] mot_, i thoght it wasnted the users 'sudo' password. Not the root users password [08:03] same password [08:03] i enable root. [08:03] you could try a kdesu restricted-manager (if thats the proper name) [08:04] also [08:04] i have all of those packages for compiz installed [08:04] it's still claiming xgl isn't there [08:04] is there an xorg.conf config util? [08:04] what gpu mot? [08:05] nvidia [08:05] -_- what nvidia? [08:05] 6800 ultra [08:05] nvidia has its own (2 of them) config tools to config the xorg.conf file [08:05] nvid :) [08:05] not familiar with that :/ [08:06] Oh i see 3 now.. nvidia-glx-config nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig [08:06] mot_: you shouldnt need xgl for nvidia [08:06] jussio1, i was about to mention that also.. :) [08:06] also, one more question [08:06] nvidia supports aiglx [08:06] yakuake won't retain my settings [08:06] in fact xgl i think can caue problems if you install it on a nvidia system and try to remove it. [08:07] whenever i reboot, the height/width of yakuake have returned to default (though the schema remains the same) - ideas? [08:09] hmm [08:10] how do i get rid of klamav from systray? [08:12] right click on it? [08:13] tried :/ [08:14] kmenu setting has systray unchecked [08:16] kmenu? what does that have to do with klamav> [08:17] * Dr_willis installs klamav to see.. [08:17] i meant kmenu editor thingy [08:17] oh whoa, it's not that of a big deal...i don't want to to go through the trouble of installing it [08:17] What does the kmenu editor have to do with klamvin tye system tray? right click on the icon in the systemtray [08:18] the kmenu editor has a checkbox asking if you want it in systray [08:18] Its a whole 15mb! find a virus scanner for window thats under that! :) [08:18] the kmenu editor edits the K menu... I dont see where thats comming from.. :) [08:18] or somthing has a confusing name [08:18] when i right click -> quit, it remains in systray @_@ [08:18] hi! is there a way in kate to search&replace in all open files? [08:19] oh ok [08:19] forget kmenu editor [08:19] Right click on the klamav icon in the system tray -> quit [08:19] :) [08:19] when i right click -> quit, it remains in systray @_@ [08:20] it said that it won't quit if it's updating or scanning [08:20] but it's doing neither [08:20] far as i can tell [08:21] maybe i should kill it from terminal [08:21] id wait a little [08:22] try again in a bit, its possible it is doing something... [08:22] it may ust be slow to download the updates [08:23] it shows when it's updating [08:23] not showing now [08:23] i wait [08:23] it's not a big deal [08:24] * asobi is picky about systray clutter >.< [08:24] thanks for all the help so far^^ [08:25] i love it that i don't have to reboot :) [08:25] mount -a... yeah! [08:26] does ktorrent have a command line interface? [08:27] no, but bittorrent does [08:31] disable auto-updates for klamav -> and you can then quit it from the system tray [08:31] :) [08:39] hi [08:40] can anybody help me out to connect me to the internet? [08:40] you are connected to the internet [08:40] i'm from Windows [08:40] using VirtualBox [08:40] oh ok, what type of connection do you have?

[08:45] so you can get on the internet on your host system? or is it a problem with the host and guest ? [08:45] my PC has a dual boot system [08:46] so you have windows on one and kubuntu on the other? [08:46] yep [08:46] and there is no internet on the kubuntu one ? [08:46] yep [08:46] any help? [08:47] are you trying to use dhcp ? [08:47] no [08:47] i have enabled the roaming mode....that's all [08:49] why isn't kubuntu detecting my ethernet card even it's listed in the Driver Database? [08:50] can you paste the output of lspci into a pastebin ? [08:51] in here? [08:51] !paste [08:51] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[08:51] i'll be back [08:56] .. [08:59] i just installed kubuntu 7.10. during boot, i get some odd screen displays (shades of grey and lines changing colors/moving across the screen). I get this on the livecd if i dont use the acpi=off boot param. last time i installed, this was auto added for me. what is the easiest/best way to boot with this option from grub? i tried adding that line to the boot commands and it didnt seem to work [09:05] think i found it === papy is now known as Papy [09:06] or not [09:08] guten morgen jemand da der mir bitte helfen kann [09:09] !de | christopher [09:09] christopher: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [09:10] christopher: or you could ask here, if you use english :) [09:12] im back [09:12] wb [09:13] orthos05847381: pong. how can I help you?

[09:20] I know, but how did you set your networking up if you aren't using DHCP ? [09:21] it's autoconfigured i think..I have installed the firmware and that's all..Is there any way to overcome this problem? [09:23] firmware means the firmware for the USB ADSL MODEM [09:24] hi! is there a way in kate to search&replace in all open files? [09:25] have you tried to use DHCP? it might end up making things easier, unless of course you have a particular reason for choosing not to [09:25] urlauber, hit f1 in kate and check its docs? [09:26] during boot, before x starts, its trying to init my wifi, but failing with irq_ready timeout, and the boot process isnt going anywhere [09:26] how do i make it just continue [09:26] it keeps doing the timeouts every once in a while [09:26] i clicked the Network monitor applet icon->Manual Configuration-> [09:27] and selected DHCP [09:28] it shows that the icons of the two monitors are connected... [09:29] is there any way to configure the DHCP other than that? [09:30] ..wait you are on Kubuntu and not Ubuntu ? [09:30] theres the config files in /etc/ or the command line commands. i guess [09:31] i'm using gnome [09:31] Ok, try #ubuntu then : ) [09:31] what? [09:32] does that matter? [09:32] This room is for KDE support, whereas ubuntu is for GNOME support [09:32] ok [09:32] thanks anyway [09:32] yep, hope you get it sorted out ^.^ [09:53] How can I get the sd cards to read from my hp printer? [09:57] crazyj, good luck there. Even my widiws machines need special drivers for that. [09:58] They dident just make it a usb-media-reader hub (well this is on a canon printer) i think my hp was the same way. [09:59] on windows I had no probs but now that I switched i cant get anything [10:00] sure there wasent some special drivers that got installed? [10:01] could try a sudo fdisk -l, and see if the cards are seen [10:01] How can i unrar my files ?

[12:47] I have read that Kubuntu 8.04 Beta has been released... one of the new feature is to use an encrypted file system... Can I also encrypt only my home directory ? I think using a encrypted file system slows down the system.... right?

[13:12] dcorbin_work: in adept_manager you can search for openoffice then filter out the not installed packages and completly remove all [13:12] the program that u told me to use don't create the partition ! [13:13] Kheops: sorry. not good with that stuff [13:13] lol [13:13] flipstar: well, that won't help with dependent libraries, but it's a start.

[13:33] nop [13:33] i just ask,, [13:33] this is an official channel of Helping users [13:33] right ? [13:33] most here are volunters [13:34] How are we going to know if you mounted the correct volume? Can you check? [13:34] how do I start kde4 in a "new window" again?

COnfigure Konversation [13:42] ah ok [13:42] yeah didn't notice the tab [13:42] thanks [13:42] Kheops: I'm not sure what happened. but I'm sure that 40GB isn't always as advertised. it's not exactly 40GB. and some parts are used for information [13:43] Kheops: a 40GB drive is 40GB, not 40GiB [13:43] Kheops: 40 gigabytes is appoxibmately 37.25 gibibytes, which is the standard 2^n measure used in computing. [13:44] i know [13:44] bit and byte [13:44] the producers don't write on the HDD's what GB it is [13:44] :) [13:45] they just write 500 GB but gibi or giga,, [13:45] ...

[13:46] BysmuthMage: lol !! [13:47] Kheops: I didn't tell you that [13:47] hmm but i can format and create partitions without install kubuntu ?

[14:31] !register [14:31] By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. [14:31] nitin: you already can chat [14:32] I also like ubuntu and kubuntu. I have installed both on my computer. I used ubuntu since 7.04 === nitin is now known as nitinnir [14:33] i tried gnome 2.22 a few days ago .. but didnt liked it much.. [14:34] Gnome is :/ [14:34] At first i used ubuntu a lot and found kde hard, but now I prefer to use kde. [14:35] im using kde since start..only used gnome once when i accendly downloaded the wrong livecd :/ [14:36] GNOME [14:36] here i have dial up connection, so i cannot download. therefore i have to wait for cd from canonicla, [14:36] then you probably watch more that you order the right one :) [14:37] now i have decided to stick with version until 9.04 [14:38] 9.04 or 8.04 ? [14:38] at first i thought linux is very hard and it is only for the geeks, but i have managed to make my pc do all the basic functions that i need [14:38] #kubuntu-offtopic is the place for chatting if you don't really need support. [14:38] i mean until version 9.04 [14:39] Ukonpoika: heres not much traffic so i think this is no problem :) [14:39] flipstar, once a bad habit is born, it dies hard. ;) [14:40] rules are rules. traffic or none. please follow them. thanks [14:41] yessir [14:41] :) [14:45] nitinnir: you could download an iso image over dialup. I've done it a couple of times. It's just not particularly enjoyable to do so ... and a download manager is a must. [14:46] how long does it take to download an iso over dialup? [14:47] Quite a while. If you can manage to keep the connection up as often as possible it'll take a week or two [14:47] IIRC [14:48] I prefer ordering cd from canonical even though i have to wait for sometime [14:49] what is kernel headers? [14:50] you could also try contacting your Ubuntu LoCo (local community) and asking if they had CD's delivered to them last release. some LoCo's are given some amount of CD's to give away [14:50] nitinnir: header files used for compiling things [14:51] If you had an optimal 56K connection 700Mb takes about 29 hours. But of course no one has an optimal connection. [14:51] genii: yeah, maybe you'd get that if you connected from within your ISPs office (literally) [14:52] Should take less than a week if the connection is decent .... mine wasn't [14:52] hello [14:52] torrent might be a good idea as you can stop and resume [14:52] Yup [14:52] nitinnir: kernel headers are source code files which are required if you want to install a new module (driver) [14:54] I'm having an issue on my laptop where everytime I boot I have to reinstall the nvidia drivers before I can get into KDE. if I "kdm stop" and then type "startx" it says that there is something wrong with the nvidia kernel. After reinstalling the nvidia driver (from nvidia's download) it all works great until a reboot. Any ideas? [14:54] genii: Ii eventually broke down and coughed up the dough for a satellite connection. Now I've got all the new disappoints it has to offer. [14:54] Kubuntu 7.10, alienware 9700 (sorry, forgot the important stuff) [14:55] BlkHtBrigade: I've had that problem before .... didn't know what I was doing so I reinstalled using envy and it seemed to work okay. [14:56] it's aggrivating =/ Almost the same thing is happening with the wireless drivers. [14:58] Ubuntu 8.04, is beta worth trying, or just stick with 7.10 until official release? [14:58] ? [14:58] ccvp: i would say stick with 7.10 [14:59] ccvp: your choice. I am sticking to gutsy though [14:59] official release is barely a month away anyway [14:59] Is it possible to use a burnt iso of a new release to upgrade? [14:59] http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/beta === dude_ is now known as phoku2 [14:59] At least he finallly have a name we can spell.

But it is a mouthful [15:01] Howdy all [15:01] O.o [15:01] I was hoping for ingenious iguana [15:01] Oh come on, Ibex' look hilarious!! [15:02] Anal Cumlatta is good too [15:02] has to use the letter "i" [15:02] Jucato: where can i find i a list of LoCu's ? [15:03] pretty lame names so far , hardy heron ,gawd gimme a break :) [15:03] What's the set name for J? [15:03] flipstar: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams [15:03] thanks [15:03] Jaundiced Jaguar? [15:03] neville_: they only decide before a new release [15:03] shortly before [15:04] Hmm, so still time :P [15:04] It should have been Hungry Hippo [15:04] usually about 5 minutes before release, judging by the names [15:04] heh the release names are funny [15:05] prince_jammys: no [15:05] * LimCore prefers "7.10" [15:05] LimCore: they're meant to be non-serious [15:05] is it just me or is 7.10 easier [15:05] to remember [15:05] limcore [15:05] they're definitely goofy [15:05] well that's the formal/real name of the release. the animal names are just "codenames" [15:05] When I ordered my first copy of Kubuntu, 7.04, my Mum found the package, and with the name Feisty Fawn, she thought it was something.. unsavory. [15:06] neville_: lol [15:06] So they're not all good [15:06] neville_: heh [15:06] Ever since Feodra screwed itself up permanently with FC2, the community evolutionized, and basically Ubuntu became the new "masses" standard....it's the most, microsoft'ized, and "window'ized" and automated'ized linux distro these days...........sad, but the only way to get the masses to use linux, is to make it easy, and automated,, meaning you wont see the day when the masses use console only [15:06] Ubuntu has degraded itself because of this :) [15:06] Can I clarify: 7.10 is Gutsy, right? I've not booted to Kubuntu for a while so I've forgotten what version I'm on :S [15:07] hungrymouse: yes [15:07] thanks. [15:07] * genii tries to explain the Warty Warthog cd to Mother [15:07] hungrymouse: correct [15:07] ccvp: this doesnt have to be sad [15:07] heh [15:07] ccvp: some people like to "just use the tool" [15:07] ok, time to raise the offtopic warning [15:07] i remember when FC2 [15:07] and ms is a bad, bad tool [15:07] was where it was "at" [15:07] now its all about ubuntu etc, and kde ubuntu [15:08] how big is the kubuntu iso [15:08] regular ubuntu = 695 megs i think [15:09] It won't be bigger than a single standard CD-R [15:09] Hmm, can you buy pieces of the repositories on disks? [15:10] AptonCD is greatm provided you have a decent internet connection in the first place :P [15:11] neville_: The alternate cd can be used as a mini-repository, it has a lot of packages on it since no gui [15:12] It does provide a GUI anyway though, doesn't it? Otherwise, that wouldn't make much sense [15:12] And, more along the lines of a DVD disk or 20 :P [15:12] it doesn't provide a GUI installer [15:12] but once you've installed you get a GUI [15:12] Ah [15:13] neville_: The room they saved by not making it a livecd was used to pack more stuff on the media [15:15] Is there an idea of how much space would be saved? [15:18] cze [15:18] siemak [15:18] siemka [15:24] The machine which I was running my mysqld had its chipset die. Now I'm getting the message that mysql can't bind to port 3306. What can I do to fix it? [15:25] I wish thugs in the ghetto would quit wasting $5,000 on 29" rims, for their 1984 regal, or caprice, that is worth $300, and rusted/falling apart. . . . don't they know the concept of depreciation? instead of investing.............those rims lose 80% value in 3 months HEH [15:25] !offtopic [15:25] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [15:26] hi, can anyone help me get my realtek 8187b wireless card working? i have downloaded the windows drivers, used the 98 version in ndiswrapper, but it won't recognize the device, saying i isn't there [15:27] hi folks, i'm currently using v100.14.19 of nvidia drivers in k7.10. i was wondering if it's possible to upgrade to a newer version by d/lding it from nvidia.com [15:27] !nvidia [15:27] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:27] fulat2k: there are instructions there for doing that way ^^^ [15:27] fulat2k: yes sure [15:27] fulat2k: yes, the easiest way is to download and install envy [15:27] !envy [15:27] 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 » [15:27] No, don't say Envy!! [15:27] envy would be an bad choise [15:27] -_-v [15:28] uhh.. [15:28] ok [15:28] Why is Envy a bad choice? [15:28] it changes much in the whole system [15:28] Envy can break your setup , if you're not careful [15:29] (so does manually installing the driver from nvidia.com... though that's probably a bit easier to fix... maybe...) [15:29] -_-v [15:29] hello. I have a problem. I installed the nvidia drivers for my pc. but it says that my monitor doesn't support that resolution/refresh rate. and I can't log in graphically. how do I fix this? [15:30] guess no one can help... [15:30] ubuntu: what's your graphics card: [15:30] hmm... wiki page doesn't say antying bout upgrading [15:30] 8600GT. [15:31] and did it work before you installed a driver? [15:31] perhaps if I could edit a configuration file. but I don't know which one. I am using livecd now but I don't know how to mount when in liveCD [15:32] fulat2k: you will basically have to install the new driver. that's what "upgrading" a driver is about [15:32] hungrymouse: it worked before [15:32] ubuntu: /etc/xorg.conf is the file [15:32] fulat2k: you can use the instructions on nvidia.com [15:33] ubuntu: um... why did you install the new driver then >< [15:33] coz nvidia drivers are better [15:33] Jucato: i think i'll wait a while. i'm not doing any gaming and my display works perfectly :P [15:35] this is probably the wisest choise [15:35] how do I mount my hardrive from LiveCD? [15:35] oh how i hate ati's x200 [15:36] ubuntu you should be able to use the gui in systemsetting>advanced>hard drives [15:36] i wanted to show off compiz-fusion to my in-laws (who are already running ubuntu), but i couldn't get it working with the stupid x200 chipset :( [15:36] Daisuke_Laptop: why? I have it running here fine [15:36] xgl? [15:37] or aiglx using the newest driver? [15:37] Daisuke_Laptop: used that, but now I just use an more up to date ati driver than what is in the gutsy repoes [15:37] yeah, i installed the newest driver from their site [15:37] still nada [15:37] but no matter [15:38] what does it spit out when you type 'compiz --replace' [15:38] your hard drive, probably. [15:40] where do I go to tell it to only use the normal drivers, ie not nvidia ones [15:41] ubuntu: the way I do it is just amnually edit /etc/Xorg.conf to use vesa instead of nvidia === dude__ is now known as phoku [15:53] which is better: kubuntu 8.04 kde4 beta or kubuntu 8.04 kde3 beta [15:54] there is no 'better' [15:54] which has better graphics [15:54] !best | thiemster [15:54] thiemster: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[15:54] jussio1: that didn't really answer my question [15:54] kde4 appears nicer i guess [15:55] does it use less memory [15:55] cause i have a 8-year-old computer with 512MB [15:55] thiemster: the thing is, your question is *very* subjective [15:55] and i also want to install kubuntu 8.04 (when the final version comes out) on a laptop with 256MB of memory [15:55] thiemster: they both use around the same.

[16:54] you find qtparted in the repos, you can install via adept_manager , mkfs is part of the system [16:55] okok [16:57] Hello everybody, i'm stuck with something here in kubuntu ( surely newbie's probs ) [16:57] someone could help me? [16:57] sure..but you need to tell us what problem you have ..makes sence or ? [16:59] Well i've got kubuntu and winxp on the same computer, and i wanted to shared files on ntfs partition with my network while i'm under kubuntu.. [16:59] i experienced some problems so i decided to copy the files i wanted to share on my kubuntu partition [17:00] the problem is when i copy a file ( a movie is the case ) i can't read it in kubuntu.. [17:01] it loads perfectly when it's on my ntfs partition but once the copy done, the file seems corrupt [17:01] which ntfs driver you are using ? maybe you should try ntfs-3g [17:02] which is strange because i have no problem with .srt files or others [17:02] i don't know i just installed kubuntu 7.10 [17:02] are they not included? [17:02] drims: you sure there is a problem with this file .. or you just cant play it ? [17:02] What is the file extension of this movie? [17:03] maybe you just dont have the right codecs for the file installed [17:03] not at all [17:03] because i can read it if the fim is on my ntfs partition ( i'm still under kubuntu ) [17:03] oh..okay [17:04] it's only once copied that it doesn't load [17:04] (i mean copied on my ext3 partition the one kubuntu is on ) [17:04] drims: Is the size the same after copying? [17:04] you probably can play other films on the same drive..? [17:05] Unable to open '/home/drims/Nouveau dossier/bclc.avi' [17:05] oh this might be an permissions thing [17:05] i can play all the films which are on the original partition ( ntfs ) but not once copied.. [17:06] which player are you using ? [17:06] vlc [17:06] then just try "kdesu vlc once.. [17:07] "kdesu vlc /home/drims/Nouveau dossier/bclc.avi" in this case [17:07] to see if its an permission problem [17:07] libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable. [17:08] [00000290] main input error: no suitable access module for `/home/drims/Nouveau' [17:08] [00000281] main playlist: nothing to play [17:08] .. weird.. [17:08] try kdesu vlc "/home/drims/Nouveau dossier/bclc.avi" [17:08] with quotes [17:09] there is an emtpy space in the filename .. [17:09] Put the file in a directory without spaces in the name [17:09] works also with quotes [17:09] i tried with quotes, same problem [17:09] i'll change quickly the folder's name [17:10] same problem.. [17:10] wey [17:10] [00000304] main input error: no suitable access module for `dossier/bclc.avi' [17:10] trying to create local folder /root/.kde/share: Permission denie [17:10] the "encrypted dvd support unavailable" makes me think it could be libdvdcss2 which is needed [17:11] but it's weird because like i said before, if i wanna play at their original location it works without any problem [17:12] drims: What does ls -l /home/drims/dossier/bclc.avi report? [17:13] why on my memory stick said is a virtual partition [17:13] the -l is lowercase L there [17:13] how do I start Samba? [17:14] i think i found the problem, when i copied the files the autorisation changes to root for playing the file [17:14] i just changes the attributes and it seems to work now [17:14] Vermux: If it's installed, then: sudo /etc/init.d/samba start [17:16] s.a [17:16] big thank you for all for that problem ;) [17:16] now i have a new one ;) === ubuntu is now known as ubuntuME [17:16] why am i not allowed to share files (while i'm under kubuntu) from my ntfs partition on my networks? [17:17] it says : only the folders associated with your user can be shared [17:18] then the partition is probably not assignet to your user [17:19] flipstar: how i start fkfs [17:19] mkfs [17:19] how can i change that? [17:20] yes indeed i just saw that in the properties.. thanks [17:20] nick_: in a terminal type sudo mkfs. device [17:20] drims: okay..btw how did you copied the files ? [17:21] .. it's the 6th times that i try to switch to linux but each time i came back for little issues like that.. i hope it's the good one ;) [17:21] in fact i think that i openned dolphin with the root attributes under my common user [17:22] once copied i was unable to open them but now it's fixed [17:22] okay..thats good :) [17:23] other questions... can i create a root user ? [17:24] no..you shouldnt [17:24] because i think that 95% of my issues are linked with the permissions things [17:24] just change the permissions once [17:24] oh k.. i get by then [17:26] türk varmı bu kanalda?? === dfr_ is now known as zauwn === jgw_ is now known as jgw__ === emonkey-t is now known as emonkey [17:28] i can't change the permissions of my ntfs partition.. [17:28] genii: if I changed the contents of the smb.conf file, do I need to restart the samba service or it updates automatically? [17:28] i change those but when i click OK and go back to the properties, nothing changes.. [17:28] ubuntuME: #ubuntu.tr ? [17:29] drims: the mounted partition ? [17:30] flipstar: yes [17:30] if I changed the contents of the smb.conf file, do I need to restart the samba service or it updates automatically? [17:30] Vermux: You need to restart it. use "restart" instead of "start" in this case [17:30] oops [17:30] genii: I started it again. it means that 2 same services are running now? [17:31] drims: how did you mounted it ? [17:31] it should work with a browser with root rights..but you still can change the mount options [17:32] flipstar: kubuntu did it itself when i installed it, /media/sda1 [17:33] Vermux: Yes [17:33] drims: hm you also checked the options with subdirs ? [17:33] . [17:34] genii: waht is the netbios name? [17:34] flipstar: i didn't do it for the moment because i'm (i don't know why now) unable to change the permissions for others ( my network ) [17:35] flipstar: when i click OK it goes back like before : Denied [17:36] Vermux: Netbios name is the name Wincdows computers see it as. If your linux box is called FredSmith netbios is: FREDSMITH [17:36] flipstar: and if i checked the option for subfolder a dialog box open with a progression bar but it stays stuck at 0% [17:36] hi [17:37] Vermux: You should kill extra samba instances running, eg: sudo killall smbd [17:37] genii: I did stop instead of start [17:37] Can somebody tell me how do deinstall kde and install gnome? [17:37] -d +t [17:38] genii: where is the smb.conf the netbios appears? because I dont c this line [17:38] Vermux: Because you started a second instance it may not have a lockfile/pidfile which the script can use to close it prroperly. === tackat_ is now known as tackat [17:39] genii: ok, I killed it and started it again [17:40] Vermux: There is not usually some "netbios name" entry in the samba config file. It just has a workgroup entry. Then the name the Windows machines see for your computer is it's usual lunux name but all in uppercase [17:40] lunux -> linux [17:40] okay^^ bye bye [17:41] genii: ok, I see it now on the windows machine [17:41] genii: it is lower case === daniele_ is now known as guest3242 [17:43] genii ,I subbed the iso file in your command with mine ,but no joy. here's the output ,http://www.pastebin.ca/955475 === tackat_ is now known as tackat [17:47] genii: I cant read the file from the shared directory even though I set permissions [17:49] Vermux: How did you go about setting these permissions?

[18:16] Vermux: Do you mean you can copy a file to the shared directory, or copy it from the shared directory to somewhere else? [18:17] sourcemaker: the is no menu it should detect the card if you run it kmenu>system>driver manager [18:17] flipstar: thanks [18:20] is there a tool to search inside ftp servers? beside google i mean [18:23] Vermux: sudo chmod -R 754 /export When you have read only =yes in smb.conf it won't overwrite file permissions you set earlier manually on that directory. eg: when you did chmod u+rwx,g+rx,o+rx /export or chmod 744 or so [18:25] genii: how do I c the current permissions for a file?

[18:54] during boot, before x starts, its trying to init my wifi, but failing with irq_ready timeout, and the boot process isnt going anywhere [18:54] how do i make it just continue [18:54] it keeps doing the timeouts every once in a while === richard__ is now known as rcg1984 [18:57] So far I have a RAID set active now, how do I mount the harddrives? [18:57] how can i write to my ntfs drive in kubuntu?

[19:00] flipstar: alright thanks. [19:01] wesley: look into permissions of this disc [19:01] rcg1984: youre welcome :) [19:02] is using ntfs-config a safe way to write to the drive? [19:02] ntfs3g worked great for me [19:03] i played wow off a ntfs drive for 4 months [19:03] and that has lots of read/writing [19:03] it seems to be working fine [19:04] then it prob is [19:04] thanks everyone [19:04] hi [19:05] ok, i enabled my nvidia restricted drivers and not x doesnt seem to want to start, how can i disable those and make it use the ones it was using? [19:05] not x = now x [19:09] gah. my upgrade to heron failed early on, and now I have a bazillion alert nessage with dependency failures [19:10] with a #$#$#@$# alert window that masks the 'close' button and a 'report bug' button that doesn't work [19:10] hardy=beta, beta=risky [19:11] hi [19:11] algyz: hi man :) [19:12] alright, I just editted the fstab file to: /dev/mapper/sil_ahbiejbgcgaf /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8-8 0 0 I pointed to that specific folder but mounted it in my Storage Media which gives me the error: "hal-storage-fixed-mount-all-options refused uid 1000" [19:13] hello, I'm trying to get my cannon i550 printer going on my kubuntu gutsy with kernel 2.6.22-14-generic. I've found a link in the ubuntu forums that details instructions. I need to get a driver from ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/bj/linux/. The name of the driver is: bjfiltercups-X.X-X.i386.rpm. The bjfilterpixus550i... drivers at there don't show one specifically for kernel 2.6.22-14. The latest kernel listed for the [19:13] 550i is 2.4-0. Would this be suitable or can someone suggest another approach" [19:14] I have no clue why Ubuntu mounted it in the Storage Media. How do I fix this issue? [19:14] is there a command line tool to configure your xorg.conf? [19:14] hey i want to know why my partition don't remain mounted ? [19:14] hellhound: Any resolve to your slow xeon box yet? [19:14] i game the command to mount.. [19:14] i need to remove nvidia drivers and make it use something else [19:14] gave* [19:14] Jucato: u are here ? [19:14] hmm he is away.. [19:15] somebody here for support ? [19:15] il ya quelqu'un [19:15] what type of partition is is? [19:15] hmmm [19:15] !fr | baizidimohamed [19:15] ext3 [19:16] i just format it [19:16] :) [19:16] baizidimohamed: #ubuntu-fr === baizidimohamed is now known as moomo [19:16] and i mounted..but after restart unmount [19:16] baizidimohamed: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [19:16] genii: no not yet... LimCore thought it might be the display driver or something... which I am trying to test out, but it seems as thought it is just processing things slow and in spurts... in otherwords for a few seconds it runs fine and then it drags for another few seconds ( i say it drags when the mouse cursor does not respond for a few seconds) [19:16] Kheops: is there a line in /etc/fstab for it? [19:16] what is fstab ? [19:16] hellhound: I also suspect the display driver, especially if it is an ATI card [19:16] Kheops: it's a configuration file [19:17] !fstab | Kheops [19:17] rcg1984: just add uid=1000 to the fstab entry [19:17] Kheops: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [19:17] ky [19:17] Kheops: look at the file. each line shows a device and where it gets mounted [19:17] i must look [19:17] oky [19:17] Kheops: if you have the proper fstab line, it will get mounted automatically [19:17] wat is best distribution for linux ,, [19:18] so? /dev/mapper/sil_ahbiejbgcgaf /media/windows ntfs-3g uid=1000 [19:18] hellhound: What does: lspci | grep VGA say is your video card? [19:18] genii: yeah i just found out it is ati (built into the server board) do you know of any other drivers or anything that might help it out [19:18] moomo there is no best distro it's a personal preference === moomo is now known as baizidimohamed [19:18] Does anyone here use a canon i550 printer with their kubuntu? === baizidimohamed is now known as momo1512 [19:19] rcg1984: better uid=1000,gid=1000 for group also :) [19:19] flipstar, alright will do [19:19] hellhound: does: grep xgl /etc/X11/xorg.conf produce a line ? [19:19] hello kubunteros [19:19] genii: it says VGA compatible controller: ATI technologies Onc Rage XL (rev 27) [19:19] rcg1984: this only applies if youre the first user in the system..else the uid id different.. [19:19] alright [19:20] is there anyone to speak to when one has been banned? [19:20] flipstar: I'm the only user on this computer [19:20] hello all [19:20] good :) [19:20] it's adept being broken. aptitude works just fine, and find a way around the few broken packages [19:20] livingdaylight: #ubuntu-ops [19:20] genii: no grep xgl /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not produce anything [19:20] prince_jammys, thx amigo [19:20] how can I use sudo bla and have a path set so that "bla" is found as a command? Root has the right path using sudo su -, and the current user also has the right path, only when using sudo, the path appears to be different [19:21] hellhound: OK. To see which video driver is being used: grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf and usually the last entry is the video (but not always) [19:21] what's the command for cycle umount than mount? [19:22] rcg1984: mount /place -o , remount [19:23] genii: the driver is "ati" [19:23] Does anyone know of a channel devoted to printers on kubuntu? [19:24] i don't [19:25] you could try asking the question here and in #ubuntu [19:25] hellhound: Hmm. OK. So for older ati cards this should be right. Can you copy and paste the entire /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to the pastebin website please [19:25] !paste | hellhound in case you don't know about pastebin [19:25] hellhound in case you don't know about pastebin: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [19:25] pulaski: there's probably no such channel, but you might try #cups, since kubuntu uses cups for printing [19:26] thanks for responding trappist I've found there now. [19:27] genii: give me a sec this may take a min or two [19:28] hi, my screen saver is running realllllllllllllllllllllllllly slow.. i'm logged in remotely to my machine.. i don't want to have to reboot the machine or reboot the X session.. what should i do, to get my session viewable?? [19:28] hellhound: OK [19:28] genii: can you help? i know you're good [19:28] I can't find any documentation at all on Kitchensync... is that app outdated? I want to sync a WM6 phone with Kontact [19:29] genii: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60900/ [19:29] crackhead100: run `top`, see what's eating your resources (first thing listed, usually) and kill it [19:29] will shipit have kde 4 disks? [19:29] trappist: did that.. it rotates.. [19:29] crackhead100: Likely it's just a machine in the middle someplace thats causing the slowdown, about which not much can be done. Have you done a tracepath to your remote box? [19:29] hellhound: Reading [19:30] genii: it's definitely the local machine [19:30] trappist: what do i do if it's "swap"?? [19:31] arcticpenguin380: nope..they dont have beta's yet [19:31] I can't find any documentation at all on Kitchensync... is that app outdated? I want to sync a WM6 phone with Kontact [19:31] trappist: can i kill kswapd? [19:31] trappist: how can i make the swap bigger,t oo, as i think that must be what's slowing it? [19:31] you shouldnt kill kswapd [19:32] when hardy is released will they have kde4 discs? [19:32] flipstar: can i make kswap bigger? [19:32] hellhound: I would suggest to comment out the line 71 [19:32] flipstar: could the swap be too small? or does that change take a partition restructuring? [19:32] you can increase swap by resizing the disc/swap partitiion [19:32] flipstar: yeah, i can't really do that on the fly, from within the session, from a command console, can i? [19:33] flipstar: do you know how i can tell swap to stop dragging everything so slow in this session? [19:33] since it probably is mounted..nope [19:33] genii: the Option "dpms" on the monitor section [19:33] i read [19:33] is not on the fstab [19:34] hmmm strange [19:34] i mounted the partition and he isn't there [19:34] :| [19:34] hellhound: Yes. Although likely it will not be some dramatic improvement. I was looking for dri or xgl extensions in there, but none. [19:34] Kheops: if you mount something it doesnt appear suddenly in fstab [19:34] flipstar: i got back in... it was kopete and firefox which were slowing things down... [19:34] flipstar: you have any suggestions to cure that in the future? [19:34] crackhead100: if swap's killing you it's because something's using way too much memory. run top again and hit shift-m to sort by memory usage, and see what it is [19:35] hhmmmm [19:35] but ? [19:35] how can i save the mounting? [19:35] crackhead100: which client are you using ? maybe you could get a better one.. [19:35] trappist: i got in.. i killed firefox and kopete [19:35] after rebooting no mount [19:35] :) [19:35] hellhound: You may want to install the proprietary ati driver. [19:35] flipstar: i'm using kubuntu 7.10.. what do you mean? oh... kopete.. and firefox were the culprits... [19:35] crackhead100: yeah firefox leaks pretty bad. consider switching to firefox3-beta, much better on your memory [19:36] crackhead100: oh youre connected via ssh ? === momo1512 is now known as poulicroque [19:36] i thought it might be vnc or so [19:36] flipstar: so how can i save my mount ? [19:36] flipstar: Thanks, it's working now :-) [19:36] Kheops: add it in fstab [19:36] flipstar: well, i was.. to the command.. 'cause it was so slow, i couldnt drop via alt-f6 or whatever.. [19:36] hmm oky [19:36] trappist: what about kopete? [19:36] rcg1984: cool :) [19:37] kopete is nul [19:37] i can type a command or something like that ? [19:37] kopete is for noob [19:37] genii: yeah i am just using it as a file server... but it is very time consuming to edit my samba conf ...etc (i do not have it up yet to the other desktops so i do not know it runs slow as fr as moving and saving files) [19:37] Kheops: someone posted a helpful link for you some time ago.. [19:37] i read it [19:37] ;) [19:38] poulicroque: then what's better for combining a few aim names very efficiently.. ? [19:38] but don't exist any usefull command ? [19:38] crackhead100: never heard of serious problems with kopete - I use bitlbee for chat, and my wife uses ... um, used to be called gaim, I forget what it's called now [19:39] trappist: u use linux for chating ? [19:39] :))))) [19:39] Kheops: of course, I use it for everything [19:39] Kheops: yes.. some of us like to talk to people toooo : ) [19:39] lol [19:39] linux is not for fun.. [19:39] hellhound: If you have restricted-manager-kde, you can run it by: alt-f2 ... restricted-manager-kde and it should tell you if there is a suitable driver to install [19:39] and games [19:39] and chating [19:39] poulicroque [19:39] Kheops: if you say so [19:39] and other stuff like this [19:39] Kheops: then it's useless by that definition [19:39] nop [19:40] Kheops: not all of us are sysadmins : P [19:40] it is usefull to Servers [19:40] that's all [19:40] mcdonnald is good.. [19:40] ooh a troll! [19:40] xd [19:40] Win32 best bussniess ever seen [19:40] :) [19:40] Kheops: wow, great evangelist you are.. [19:40] that's why u aren't rich [19:40] ;) [19:40] i'm Dark Archon or Dark Angel [19:40] :) [19:41] anyhoo... [19:41] trappist: yeah, what other advice [19:41] brb i have to work now don't use linux for CHATING [19:41] :))) [19:41] crackhead100: I just snooped my wife's process list to see what's running, but apparently the process is still called 'gaim' even if the app isn't [19:42] crackhead100: pidgin! [19:42] trappist: yeah.. gaim doesnt work as well.. pidgin.. i dont know.. i will have to check.. it seems not to be as space efficient on the desktop.. kopete is really customizable.. [19:42] anyway she never seems to have any problems with it [19:43] trappist: i have thousands of contacts in mine.. so i need something better for a power user.. [19:43] crackhead100: ah, I don't have the kind of chat experience to give you a recommendation there [19:44] trappist: what's a good channel on this server fo rme to check? [19:44] I can't find any documentation at all on Kitchensync... is that app outdated? I want to sync a WM6 phone with Kontact [19:44] crackhead100: I use bitlbee, which runs as an irc server and is an irc-to-instant-message gateway, so I do all my chatting in my irc client... over ssh, in a screen session, so I never disconnect, I just reattach [19:44] crackhead100: I dunno, most channels are product-specific [19:45] genii: it responded "your hardware does not need any restricted drivers" [19:45] trappist: that's interesting.. ill have to check it out.. that probably makes it a lot faster.. and more stable.. [19:46] trappist: but then which irc client are you using? id need to have a really customizable irc client.. easy with keystrokes and lots of options.. [19:46] crackhead100: yep. not sure what challenges might be presented by thousands of buddies, though. might work out just fine, or you may need to tweak your irc client [19:46] crackhead100: I use irssi, which is a console client, so *very* keystroke-friendly, and also very highly customizable [19:47] how can i check and see if my swap can be extended, btw? [19:49] hellhound: OK. So it may then be some other issue causing slowdowns. Have you ran memtest on the ram in the box to make sure it passes? [19:49] crackhead100: how much ram do you have, how much swap, and are you running 32bit or 64bit [19:49] genii: yes and it passed without any errors [19:50] crackhead100: basically if you're running 32bit, you can have a total of 4GB of addressable memory including swap (which should be more than enough unless something's gone so horribly wrong no amount of memory will save you) and if you're 64bit I'm not sure what the limit is but it's way more than you'll ever need [19:50] Thanks trappist, I have a little more to go on now. cya [19:50] pulaski: enjoy :) [19:50] trappist: 32.. [19:51] Hi all, anyone know what settings to use to get KVpnc to connect to a Win XP VPN server? [19:51] trappist: i have 2gb of real ram sticks.. and then not sure how much swap.. i could be at 4 already total.. [19:51] hellhound: Is it using the hard drive a lot? [19:51] If you want some extra cash, just click this link and sign up http://www.AWSurveys.com/HomeMain.cfm?RefID=maconga Just fill out the surveys and you get cash! [19:52] genii: right now yes ( i am copying my backup of files to the harddrives now... but I notice no changes even when it is not copying and even after a fresh boot [19:52] crackhead100: probably no reason to add to that. if you got into swap with that much ram, something was leaking badly and you wouldn't ended up in the same situation, just might've taken longer [19:53] trappist: ill update to ffbeta3 and see what happens [19:53] trappist: where do i get ffb3? [19:54] http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html [19:54] http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases [19:55] mine is longer :P:P [19:55] trappist: if i see it in my adept, is that the smae? ff3? i shouldnt have to get it from their repo necessarily, right? [19:55] hola soy nuevo con unbutu [19:56] crackhead100: if it's in adept and you're on gutsy, I have no idea because it's not in any official gutsy repos [19:56] como puedo actualizar unbutu desde internet [19:56] crackhead100: if you were to upgrade to hardy, it's there by default [19:56] hellhound: Perhaps put into pastebin: result of command dmesg and contents of file /var/log/syslog for scrutiny [19:56] !es | server_ [19:56] server_: En el canal donde esta solo se premite hablar ingles. Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.

[19:58] jhutchins_wk: actually he got into this problem running firefox2 :) [19:59] jhutchins_wk: however if ff was the culprit leaking mem, and its beta is iknown to be better, shouldnt .. [19:59] crackhead100: yes :) [19:59] crackhead100: The thing about betas is that they're betas for a reason. [19:59] trappist: i just installed ff3.. however, it didnt load when i loaded the firefox now?? (i closed and reopened it..) [20:00] crackhead100: it's probably a new command line... I have no idea how it was packaged, but it's probably designed to not step on your ff2 [20:00] cdpuk: kvpnc doesn't work well with pptp, you need to work with the pptp tools from the console. [20:00] crackhead100: try dpkg -L packagename | grep bin [20:01] crackhead100: Did you install it from an ubuntu package or from the mozilla installer? [20:01] jhutchins_wk: I seem to have got it working, it just wasn't nagging me to install pptp unless I reselected the profile, so I had no idea it wasn't installed - thanks anyway [20:05] genii: ok my dmesg is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60906/ [20:05] hellhound: Reading === xaos is now known as markus-xaos [20:08] how do I create the icon that switch between languages?

[20:50] !ntfs [20:50] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE [20:50] i read [20:50] no info [20:50] oh, *make* ntfs? You want to create a new ntfs partition? [20:50] YES [20:50] dthacker-work: A safe kernel if you did a 32 bit install is: linux-image-2.6.22-14-386 [20:51] so how can i do this [20:51] ? [20:51] isnt the generic to prefer ? [20:51] Aha. Right. Not sure if that's even possible yet. [20:52] how can i make ntfs on kubuntu ???? [20:52] Kheops: you probably need windows to create a windows partition [20:52] no [20:52] dthacker-work: You can install by: apt-get install linux-image-2.6.22-14-386 or as flipstar suggests the generic one by: apt-get install linux-image [20:52] is there a way to correct page offset on a printer [20:52] u don't say it correctly flipstar [20:52] try again [20:52] Kheops: if you know it, why you asking ? [20:53] dthacker-work: Hopefully the files to build from are in the old /var/cache/apt/archives directory [20:53] Kheops: looks like you need to use mkfs.ntfs somehow. The manual is at: http://linux.die.net/man/8/mkfs.ntfs [20:53] but I've never done it so can't give any further help [20:53] dthacker-work: Did it give some message, or else working, etc? [20:53] k [20:53] :))) [20:54] ok ok [20:54] no need other programs [20:54] to do that [20:54] another ppl to help ? [20:54] genii: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually type dpkg --configur -s to correct the problem. Now following directions..... [20:55] dthacker-work: It may be unable to complete that, since we did not copy over any networking info/setups before chroot. But hopefully it will use what it had previously [20:55] genii: update-initramfs ran and generated /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic [20:56] dthacker-work: gOOD. yOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO REBOOT TO THE HARD DRIVE NOW [20:56] Bah capslock [20:56] genii: ok! fingers and toes crossed :) [20:56] If apt-get reports a break for trying to upgrade a package, what does it mean and how do I override it?

[21:19] CJS3141: yeah...well, they are working on these things... [21:19] CJS3141: could be a bug. Have you filed one or checked the database? [21:20] linux is all about the feedback...... [21:20] dthacker-work: No, it seemed like it should be such a simple thing--I mean how many of you prefer 24 over 12 hour display? [21:20] how do I get my swap partition back ? I upgraded the kernel.

The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory.

[23:14] how do i unzip 7z in ark? [23:15] nosrednaekim: came out in january i think [23:15] it does not seem to work by default. [23:15] Unit193: right click on the file then extract [23:15] does not work... [23:15] ill try the drivers package from the ati site, see if this works [23:16] Bizzeh: yeah, you need them [23:16] Unit193: whats the error ? [23:16] i would have to be in linux..in win :( now [23:17] thats a wired error message @_@ [23:17] well.... [23:18] missing package i think but when i look for it i can't find it... [23:18] right, installed, brb [23:22] Unit193: ark can extract 7z files per default .. [23:22] 7-zip is opensource .. [23:22] right... [23:23] there must been an error with the package.. [23:23] is there an error message while trying to extract ? [23:23] can't even open [23:24] anyone using sane? my scanner works only as root, seems a permission issue, but i havent found any udev rules that would change the permissions for the scanner [23:24] i am using hardy btw. [23:24] Unit193: then its probably an access/permission problem [23:25] icewaterman: youre in the scanner group ? (btw go to #ubuntu+1 ) [23:25] flipstar: k [23:25] i'll try to change it... [23:25] flipstar: but i am in scanner group, just there seems to be no rule that would account for my scannr [23:27] flipstar: i have feisty [23:28] Unit193: type "kdesu konqueror" then navigate to the file right click>change permissions ¦ | [23:30] will kde 3.5.9 has the same problem to me ? [23:31] i just added the virtualbox source to my sources.list file, however I cannot find the gpg key on their website...can anyone point me to it? [23:32] markperry: you don't really need it === MysT is now known as [GuS] [23:33] what kde you use nosrednaekim [23:34] just tired of the error message everytime I run apt-get update upgrade [23:35] ahmos: 4.09 [23:35] *4.0.2 [23:35] oO [23:36] thats more realistic :) [23:36] ohh [23:37] i'm afraid that when i upgrade,i mess up my oss ..:) [23:38] like i usually do :D [23:38] you cant actually upgrade to kde4..just install it beside [23:39] Hi i think I'm having a problem with dns, though I don't know why, or how. If I try nslookup on myself it returns ** server can't find 1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa: NXDOMAIN [23:39] does it have alot of problems [23:39] no major problems i would say [23:41] sorry for being silly ..but what is the diffrrence between gusty and hardy than kde [23:41] see http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/beta#head-e55186d5d312cfd6b8d74a407dbef271a1edfc46 for that [23:42] how can i refresh the classes-tree in kdevelop? it shows old/wrong functions; autocompletion is working correctly though [23:42] ahmos, #kubuntu-offtopic might be a better place to ask [23:42] I want to create a file of exactly one gigabyte with random data in it, what would be the quickest/simplest way? [23:43] do you advice me to install the beta version or to wait for the stable version?!! [23:44] dd, nevermind [23:44] kde4 does not mean hardy and hardy does not mean kde4 [23:44] http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/suse-linux-help/58658-command-generate-large-dummy-files.html [23:44] ahmos: wait for stable [23:44] ahmos: you also can use kde4 in gutsy [23:45] can anyone point me to the gpg key for virtualbox? [23:45] it is not a kde 4 problem but i need more stable version of the system [23:45] markperry: once you install virtualbox, commend out the repository... [23:46] markperry: or you can ask in #vbox [23:46] in the same way i want to learn everything in linux but it seems too hard.. [23:46] I asked in #vbox...they sent me here...lol [23:47] ahmos, too hard? i find most of it rather straight forward. :) [23:47] learn the linux fundamentals and you cant go wrong. [23:47] just rember to pay attention to the details. [23:47] i also can't get nmap to work with dial-up help? [23:47] yes but i want to be like you all :D not just a normal user.. :D [23:48] read, read ,read, read,,, and did i mention read? [23:48] :) [23:48] then when needed, to back to what you read. when you need it.. [23:48] yes and may i mention your help, no? :) [23:48] Linux has gotten to be the most documented OS i know of. :) [23:48] of course some times the docs can be a little out of date in some places.. but the fundamenals havent changed much. [23:49] again, maybe #kubuntu-offtopic would be a better place to talk [23:49] me? [23:49] i missed the original question. :) i just joined. [23:49] nmap should work with dialup Unit193 - whats the specific problem>? [23:50] not work very fast... :) but it should work [23:50] it says it... [23:50] hi everyone, I'm sure support questions drive you crazy, but I'm not finding an answer elsewhere, trying to upgrade kunbuntu alpha 6 to beta 8.04, I follow the instructions on the site, launch kdesu "adept_manager --dist-upgrade-devel", choose version upgrade, follow though, click "finish" at which point it's supposed to launch the upgrade manager, but it doesn't and I can't figure out why or how to just launch it manually instead [23:50] well it's looking for DSL [23:51] jnk, try just a 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' ? [23:51] jnk: since you are already using hardy, no need for a dist-upgrade [23:52] hmm [23:53] Dr_willis_: I've done those commands, they seem to execute ok, but it's not exactly a dist upgrade [23:53] nosrednaekim: ok, that makes sense, how does one upgrade from alpha6 to beta then? [23:53] where can I set the system to shut down when I press the power button - can't find it anywhere? [23:53] jnk, the normal update/upgrade does the alpha-> beta [23:54] goodbye flipstar,nosrednaekim and Dr_willis_ thank you all for giving me your time,meet you later [23:54] well, it told me 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. when I ran those apt commands [23:55] jnk, sounds to me like its all up to date. [23:55] !kde4 [23:55] KDE 4.0.2 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0.2 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.2.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-4.0.2.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 [23:57] jnk: check sources.list /run update-manager [23:57] Dr_willis_: strange [23:59] jnk, what makes you think its NOT up to date? [23:59] * Dr_willis_ just realized he wasent in #ubuntu+1 , well he is.. but not here. :)
