AMcBainHi. I forgot how to mount my seagate external hdd, and I finally need it again. Dolphin and Konqueror both tell me "hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000" when I try and use them. Konsole says there is nothing on it (impossible) and I remember having to just type a few mount commands and it would work for a few hours. I need it because I need to get everything off of this PC for a transfer.02:02
Moogastufdf was missing02:02
ArtimusAMcBain: NTFS?02:05
AMcBainYes. But Linux should be able to handle NTFS ...02:05
tomtom__Can Someone please help me, I'm not able to install any programs or anything because Adept manager keeps saying database is locked another process is using the packaging system database.. what should I do?02:06
ArtimusAMcBain: If I remember correctly, that error usually means you didn't unmount the drive properly in Windows.02:06
Artimus(or osx/linux, for that matter)02:06
AMcBainWell I don't really have a choice ... Kubunbtu will silently drop the mount after several hours anyways (iirc)02:06

rainx79yes i do04:06
rainx79theres a space in my fstab04:07
jhutchinsrainx79: Ok, it pasted funny here.04:07
jhutchinsrainx79: Your problem is you didn't give users the permissions to mount it.04:07
rainx79oh04:07
jhutchinsrainx79: so you can mount it via sudo, but not as a regular user.04:07
jhutchinsrainx79: It should mount fine at boot (auto).04:08
rainx79i just tried sudo mount hdb04:08
rainx79I think I know what the problem may be04:08
jhutchinsrefused uid 1000 - that says you can't mount it as the first regular user.04:08
rainx79i forgot how to edit the fstab as root..04:10

adz21ctoyo|desk: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lmms/+bug/139721/+viewstatus05:27

ubotuKubuntu 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-fusion05:35

gothicemogeekHey I have a question! I need some emergency help on Kubuntu.05:39
kkathmanlets hear your prob :)05:40
toyo|desklol05:40
Daisuke-Laptopagain, nothing's an emergency, unless you have kubuntu running someone's life support equipment05:40
gothicemogeekI was updating my computer because a whole bunch of updates came in, and it some how updated the hadry alpha test version. Now i constantly have a full screen terminal window all the time. How do I get it back to gusty?05:40
toyo|deskhaha05:40
gothicemogeekand xP I actually have some one on life support right now whos a father of a friend of mine :(05:40
toyo|desknice05:40
Daisuke-Laptopgothicemogeek: then i hope for a swift recovery05:41
gothicemogeekhe isnt making it tonight. He has neumonia, Lupus which is making his lungs bleed out and eating his intestines, so :(05:41
Daisuke-Laptopnow, be glad it's not windows running the equipment.  that makes the blue screen of death quite literal05:41
gothicemogeekanyway, how do I get it back to gusty gibbon? xP05:41
gothicemogeekyeah no kidding.05:41
Daisuke-Laptopgothicemogeek: if it updated to hardy, you're probably going to have to do a reinstall05:42
gothicemogeekugh. really.05:42
gothicemogeekand i dont have the disk for it right now.05:42
gothicemogeekis there another way possibly to get it downgraded to gutsy without a reinstall?05:43
Dr_willisweird that it just 'upgraded'05:43
gothicemogeekit was listed under a 'full upgrade' too.05:43
gothicemogeekand not a system upgrade like it usually does for me05:43
gothicemogeek**usually listed05:43
Dr_willis as for the fullscreen terminal windows, try some alternative xterms, try resetting your kde settings, try a new user.05:44
gothicemogeekhow do I do all that?05:44
Dr_willissounds like a user config/compiz issue to me.05:44
Dr_willisMake a new user, see if it affects them also. would be a easy place to start05:44
gothicemogeekbut how do I do that?05:45
gothicemogeekbecause I can't even get to my desktop.05:45
gothicemogeekit acts like it is getting there, but then it doesn't.05:45
gothicemogeekit shows the kubuntu logo and then the loading bar, but never gets to the desktop login screen05:45
gothicemogeekinstead it goes to the full screen terminal window.05:46
snowolfgothicemogeek: you're on hardy?05:46
gothicemogeeksaying issued like no start up image or something like that05:46
gothicemogeeki am now when I was on gusty before. it upgraded my computer to that undr a full upgrade to the hardy alpha test version05:46
gothicemogeekand i need to get it downgraded back to gusty05:46

Dr_williswhat is your video card?05:47

gothicemogeekyes! thats what it is :D05:48
gothicemogeekand I don't know what my video card is. I know I have one xP05:49
Dr_willislspci command gives some of that info.05:49
gothicemogeekokay.05:49
Dr_willisthe 'startx' command may also give a clue as to whats going on.05:49
gothicemogeek-writes it down-05:49
Dr_willisyou CAN irc from the console also. :)05:50
gothicemogeekand snow, I went to the ubuntu+1 room and it told me to go here.05:50

Dr_williswireless networking?05:50
gothicemogeekyeah i have tried, but it wont connect to it05:50

Dr_willisIf you dont even know what video card you have... well... thats a very fundamental thing ya need to figure out.05:51
gothicemogeek*nods* and those two codes like lspci will tell me what it is?05:52
Dr_willisthey say whats on the system05:52
gothicemogeekahh okay05:52
gothicemogeekgood then05:52
Dr_willisis this a laptop? or desktop?05:52
gothicemogeekdesktop05:52
gothicemogeekhad a friend install kubuntu gutsy on it for me.05:53
gothicemogeek**feisty before i updated it to gutsy05:53
gothicemogeekand its built for wireless networking05:53
Dr_willisi dont 'do' wireless.. :) for many reasons.. heh05:53
Dr_willisyou are experinecing one reason now...05:53
gothicemogeek*nods* yup. xP and I dont like it.05:54
Dr_willisyou could boot to XP and see what IT saya the video card is.. :)05:54
gothicemogeekso i will try those commands, figure out what my video card is, and come back empty handed xD05:54
gothicemogeekyeah but would I need a disk for that too?05:54
WrathYea, i've im about ready to throw my computer at something because of wireless05:54
kkathmanouch05:54
prince_jammyssudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg05:54
Dr_willisneed a disk? You have only Linux on the box?05:54
Dr_willisgothicemogeek,  jot down and try the command prince_jammys  said.05:55
gothicemogeekYes. Only Linux.05:55
gothicemogeekIt USED to be windows.05:55
kkathmanprince_jammys:  yeah thats worth a shot at least05:55
gothicemogeekI did willis. thanks.05:55
gothicemogeeki wrote everythign down the first second I saw it xP05:55
Dr_willisgothicemogeek,  you could also boot a live cd.. but even then.. wireless will be the hassle.05:55
gothicemogeekbeen doing this for a month now05:55
gothicemogeek*nods*05:55
gothicemogeekbut the computer used to be windows until I had it fixed with Linux.05:55
Dr_willisgot some guye mad at work when i tole them to quit bending over backwards for wireless.. and run some &#&@&@! wires.05:56
gothicemogeekand my friend is making a live cd for me for linux, but like I said. my friend jennifers dad is dying tonight and he has not been able to finish it or send it to me yet.05:56
Dr_willisso he ran wires... and said to me the other day 'Best thing he ever did'05:56
Dr_willis:)05:56
gothicemogeeklol05:56
gothicemogeeki wish i could plug it in with wires, but it wasnt set up to do like dsl or stuff like that.05:56

Wrathwireless seems to be one of the major problems with linux, im usually stuck trying to get it to work though because i have a laptop05:59
gothicemogeekokay it said the xorg-xserver was not installed on it05:59
Wrathits xserver-xorg06:00
JucatoWrath: mostly depends on the wireless card/device and the drivers for it06:00
gothicemogeekoh. xP -goes back-06:00
WrathYea, I have a broadcom 4318 in here tho :x06:00
Stofferdo you think it's fine to install the kubutnu 8.04 beta, or should I wait for the stable version to come out?06:01
StofferI'd rather not wait any longer unless there's a good reason for it06:01
JucatoWrath: ah.. tough luck :)06:01
gothicemogeekit said that the xserver-xorg wasnt installed. *grr!*06:01
JucatoStoffer: wait :)06:01
gothicemogeekso i would guess i will have to reinstall the whole thing?06:02
gothicemogeekwith a live cd or sumtin?06:02
Wrathgothicemogeek: are you in X right now?06:02
gothicemogeekx...?06:02

JucatoStoffer: 2 weeks most probably06:03
StofferJucato, good.  I'm getting tired of the errors and glitches my system's throwing at me06:03

* kkathman munches on a late night hamburger and fries06:48
hellhoundis anyone on here that helps troubleshoot?  I am pulling my hair out06:48
kkathmanhellhound:  what seems to be yer prob?06:49
hellhoundkkathman: kkathman: one of my three kubuntu machines (this one only serving as a samba server) is running a little slow... it seems to sporatically run at normal speed only to revert back to its slower state after a few seconds... I have looked at top but do not see anything unusual06:49
kkathmanhellhound:  sorry I should have said - what seems to be THE problem - didnt mean to insinuate YOU have a problem :)06:49
kkathmanhellhound:  hard to say, but looking a top would be what I'd do too - are you running any big hogs like karamba or graphics ?06:51
kkathmanhellhound:  have you looked at the swap file space?06:51
hellhoundkkathman: no problem... I have tried googling, looked at top, looked at vmstat, and did a memcheck but I cannot seem to pin-point it..06:51
kkathmanhellhound:  is this a standalone or VM ?06:52
hellhoundkkathman: no special graphics, just barebone kubuntu (no compiz, no xorg changes, and even no OpenOffice as I removed all unnessary programs.. it is just a samba server06:53
kkathmanhmm no xorg either eh... hmm06:53
kkathmanwhen things slow down - I always kinda peek at CPU, then maybe think about looking at log files06:54
hellhoundkkathman: top show no moer than 1% CPU usage on anything but no more than two itms use cpu usage and mem % stays belwo 1% and only 1-4 show to have any mem usage06:54
kkathmanhellhound:  ok - so what's the "gauge" you are using on the perceived "slow down"06:54
hellhoundi have been keeping top up so I can see if i can spot anything as it is running slow... but nothing... it runns slow most of the time with a few seconds of normal speed about every 10 minutes06:55
kkathmanhellhound:  how are you judging that things are slow?06:56
hellhoundnormal speed for me is when I move my mouse, type something the terminal or click on a menu that it moves, types, or clicks pretty much immediatly (nothing intensive) and when it is slow it takes up to a minute for the mouse to move, about 30 seconds to type a letter and sometimes upto 2 minutes for a menu to click06:57
kkathmanohh wow06:57
kkathmansurely thats very odd06:58
hellhoundheheh i just saw something (Xorg) use 3% CPU usage (more than normally seen) and the computer was running fast but it stayed the same app[rox usage when it started running slow again but it ran normal for almost a minute06:59
Wrathsonds like a runaway server but i have no clue if nothing is showing on top06:59
kkathmanahh so it IS using xorg then06:59
hellhoundoh yes... but i did not change any setting in xorg... i just let the live cd set it up06:59
kkathmanyeah can't explain why you wouldnt see a CPU pegged at 100% or something06:59
hellhoundlet me see if i can paste top so you can take a look.. give me a sec... i am IRC on another kubuntu desktop that is running normally and has been for almost a year.07:01
kkathmanIve had Firefox take over the system at times and typing was slow - but that was readily seen07:01
kkathmanhellhound:  try using the pastebin to paste07:01
Wrathmaybe paste the output of: ps aux07:02
kkathmangood idea07:02
Wraththat seems to have pretty much the same details as top, but easier to paste07:02
kkathmantrue07:03
hellhoundis there a way to select all while top is running in a konsole window?  something like ctrl-a?07:03
kkathmananother runaway thing is artsd sometimes - but again that's easy to spot on the top07:03
kkathmanhellhound:  you can highliight and right click and copy07:04
hellhoundkkathman: yeah that is the problem... by the time i highlight it unselects it because it has refreshed07:04
Wrathtry copying the output of: ps aux07:04
kkathmanhellhound:  ps aux wont07:04
hellhoundty07:05
kkathmanhellhound:  you can use http://pastebin.ca probably to paste it07:06
hellhoundty still trying to highlight everything...07:06
hellhoundit is funny.. i just typed this waiting for my mouse to move07:07
kkathmanyeah mine was rather long too07:07
Wrathmaybe if you want to put the output of ps aux into a text file you can try: ps aux > temp.txt07:07
hellhoundit is not that it is long.. it is just that it takes a long time to scroll up and move the mouse07:08
Wrathyea07:08
hellhoundgot it copied... now just putting it in pastebin07:09
hellhoundok here it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6156407:10
Wrathi dont see anything that looks too strange there myself07:11
unholyskornHello everyone07:12
hellhoundwhat might be intersting to note is that top on the slow computer seems to be running at the same speed as top on my working computer.. they both update about once every 2 seconds... but the load average is higher on the slower computer than it is on my working one07:15
ubuntuhow do i delet things from a cd-live on my xp partition?07:15

Linux_Galorejust learnt never use an external NTFS drive with an eternal Etx3 drive on the same USB hub, when Kubuntu (7.10) mounts the NTFS drive it proceeds to destroy your Ext3 drive09:04

DarkriftXoh, ext3... mines 209:04
Dr_willisnever noticed the problem either.09:04
Linux_Galorewell we then tried to mount the NTFS drive on a standalone Kubuntu machine and the keyboard stopped working but worked in a terminal09:05
Dr_willisi wonder if its not a usb hardware issue.09:05
Linux_Galorewell the drive is USB09:05
CapitalTHi, when I bring the open dialog twice in VLC by the same method (ie. file->quick open or file->open) it crashes. Anybody with the same problem here?09:05
DarkriftXmight be09:05
Linux_Galoreso it looks like there is a nasty NTFS->USB bug in 7.1009:06
DarkriftXi have usb ntfs/fat/ext2 that ive used all at once09:06
DarkriftXi dont think thats it iether09:06
DarkriftXim using 7.1009:06
Linux_GaloreDarkriftX: on two machines ?09:06
DarkriftXand i have ntfs partitions mounted09:06
DarkriftXthe usb ntfs was my "backup/storage" drive for vista before i deleted it09:07
Linux_GaloreDarkriftX: was it on USB external09:07
DarkriftXyes09:07
Linux_GaloreDarkriftX: well we tried two machines and the module when loaded stuffed things up09:07
DarkriftXodd09:07
DarkriftXprob the device09:07
Linux_GaloreDarkriftX: drive works fine on a windows machine09:07
DarkriftXlol of course it does09:07
DarkriftXwindows doesnt fix errors, it works around them09:08
Linux_Galoreactually drive works fine on three windows machines we have used the drive on09:08
Linux_GaloreDarkriftX: yes but Linux should not self destruct an ext3 USB drive09:08
DarkriftXi have cf/sd cards that are soo trashed linux cant even fix them, but windows will read them (data gets corrupted all the time on them, but windows doesnt care)09:08
DarkriftXi see your point, but i still think its something else09:09
Linux_GaloreDarkriftX: two weeks of backups lost09:09
DarkriftXive even copied from the nfts tothe ext2 and vice versa09:09
DarkriftXouch09:09
Hamrai used to have 512 m flash drive formatted as NTFS, it never worked on feisty, i had to format it to fat09:09
DarkriftXdid you try upgrading your ntfs3g?09:09
digin4what's kubuntu remix09:10
DarkriftXmine worked out of the box, so that shouldnt matter09:10
Linux_GaloreIm just warning anyone, if you have a Ext3 USB backup drive and attach an NTFS USB drive be prepared for file corruption09:10
DarkriftXalso, keep in mind, my ext is ext2, so maybe thats the problem09:10
Linux_GaloreDarkriftX: I have been using the ext3 drive for a year with no issues until today09:11
DarkriftXi mean the combo09:11
DarkriftXi have ntfs + ext2 and you ahve ntfs + ext309:11

DarkriftXmake a directory for it (example /ntfs)09:24
DarkriftXthen 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /ntfs' should mount it (newer kubuntu has ntfs3g which gives read/write support)09:25

ubotuDo not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo09:26

Hamrai'll check it out, i just used the disks & filesystems thing in system settings, just a min09:30
sfc__Anyone have an idea how to fix my openoffice window? It worked fine before, but for the last few weeks every time I launch openoffice, it takes up the whole screen (covering the kicker panel and everything). Resize/move doesn't seem to work at all.09:30
sfc__(kde 3.5.8/kubuntu 7.10/openoffice 2.3)09:31
jussi01sfc__: running compiz i assume?09:31
Hamrai have ntfs-3g installed, and in the mount options i have "writable" checked09:31
sfc__jussi01: Indeed.09:31
jussi01sfc__: iirc, go to compiz settings, and change the back end to flat file09:32
sfc__jussi01: Can that be changed in the CompizCOnfig Settings Manager? (trying to find it in the list there)09:33
jussi01sfc__: yes09:33
sfc__Oh, I see it. Under a seperate section.09:33
jussi01:)09:33
Sir_CorgiIf I may, I believe another fix is to go to "Workarounds" and deselect "Legacy Fullscreen Support"09:33
jussi01sfc__: see what Sir_Corgi said also09:33
sfc__Oh, hey... there's my window/decorations around openoffice again. Sweet. Now I can't use my shortcuts to switch desktops, but I'll see if disabling legacy fullscreen support instead fixes that.09:35
jussi01!yay | sfc__09:36
ubotusfc__: Glad you made it! :-)09:36
Sir_CorgiOMG That was lazy.09:36
Sir_CorgiShame.09:36
* Sir_Corgi wags finger.09:36
sfc__Okay, just in case anyone asks at another point - switching to flat file back-end disabled my shortcut keys for switching desktops. But using "disable legacy fullscreen support" instead allowed them to work. :)09:37
sfc__jussi01 ++09:37
sfc__sir_corgi ++09:38
sfc__I totally should have asked about this problem two months ago :)09:38
jussi01:)09:38
jussi01sfc__: as an addidtional resource, you may want to drop into #compiz-fusion sometime09:38
sfc__Instead, I've been using it in its own desktop -- but then it was hard to open menus/dialogues within oo.09:39
sfc__jussi01: I definitely will. Thanks.09:39
Hamrais there any trouble when upgrading with compiz installed? or is it better to install it after upgrade? or maybe you advice not to install it in the first place?09:42
jussi01Hamra: there _shouldnt_ be. just remember to disable any 3rd party repos you have09:43

Linux_GaloreIm surprised *ubuntu doesnt offer an easy way to sandbox firefox ie have firefox run as a different user ie user=firefox  thus restricting the browsers ability to exploit the default user space09:49
Linux_Galorecall is safefox09:50

ogzyhi, i was trying squidgurat at 7.10, squidguard -C all never ends, what can be the reason, i tried -d didnt see any debug info still, does it really take so much time?09:50

Linux_GaloreCapitalT: dont know, Ive always found VLC to be a bit crappy in Linux09:54
Boohbahhow do i start kde 4?09:55

CapitalTcan anyone try bringing up the open dialog in vlc twice to see if it's reproduceable?09:57
Hamrado the firefox settings in windows and those in linux differ? can i copy my settings folder from windows, and paste it wherever the settings are here on linux10:00

Hamraok :)10:02

Dr_willisYou create a file called /forcefsck i think to force a fsck10:54
michael__i didnt know how to express the problem by google... :-/10:55
eagles0513875Dr_willis ?10:55
eagles0513875cmicallef no prob10:55
Dr_willisIf the file "/forcefsck" exists a file system consistency check10:55
Dr_willis(fsck) will be forced at the next boot up.10:55
Dr_willissudo touch /forcefsck10:55
eagles0513875Dr_willis so sudo -F shutdown -r now10:55
eagles0513875and that will force the fsck check10:55
eagles0513875cmicallef did u get my pm10:56
Dr_willisThat also just makes that file then does a reboot.10:56
cmicallefya eagle10:56
Dr_willisof coruse if the filesystem is very very very badly messed up  - it may not be able to do the making of the file10:56
eagles0513875so there is no simple command to just have it run fsck during boot to where u dont have to create the file10:56
Dr_willisnever noticed.. never worried :)  the scripts check the filesystem to see if its good..  i GUESS you could purposly flag the journel as being bad.. but theres other filesystems out besides just ext310:58
Dr_willisso what works for ext3. may not work for ext2, or other filesystems10:58
eagles0513875michael__ what file system u running10:58
michael__ext310:58
eagles0513875michael__ try this command man fsck and see what command options u get with it and could u past bin them to me plz10:59
Dr_williswhat are you trying to accomplish exactly?10:59
Dr_willisif you have a aparently good filesystem and want the system to auto-fsck it. use the touch command above.11:00

Dr_willisshowfsck - show the number of reboots before next forced fsck11:01
michael__Is this a good "hmmm"? :D11:01
Dr_willisHmm....11:02
eagles0513875michael__ run the command Dr_willis gave showfsck11:02
Dr_willisi had to install it. :) heh11:02
Dr_willis11/24 mount(s) until fsck for /dev/sdb211:02
eagles0513875Dr_willis what if u wanna force an fsck at next reboot how would one do that11:03
michael__10/24 mount(s) until fsck for /dev/disk/by-uuid/8b4049de-a0a6-48a1-8a5a-110e08301b5511:03
Dr_williseagles0513875,  sudo touch .... whatever...11:03
Dr_willislike given above11:03
eagles0513875i used to use a sudo -F or f to force at next reboot11:05
michael__should i do this?11:05
eagles0513875michael__ try the touch command that was given above11:05
michael__okay, and then reboot?11:05
eagles0513875michael__ ya11:05
Dr_williswhy are we doing this at all is what i wonder...11:06
eagles0513875Dr_willis im not sure if this is an issue like windows but sometimes running a checkdisk in winblows fixes certain problems im wondering if this is the same issue11:07
michael__okay, then till in a few minutes11:07
Dr_willisin the time we have been talking about it... :) i could of fsck'd the disks 4 times...11:09
Dr_willis:)11:09
Dr_willisi dont expect it to fix anything..unless theres some disk curruption. :)11:10
eagles0513875Dr_willis im thinking thats whathe has some mild disk corruption11:10
Dr_willisi had a hd that was so messed up. when it fsck'd EVERYTHING got moved to /lost+found11:11
Dr_willis:)11:11
Dr_willismade the system rather unbootable11:11
eagles0513875lofl11:11
eagles0513875were u able to recover the data11:11

eagles0513875michael__ lol good to hear11:17
Dr_willisi got no need for 64bitness11:17
eagles0513875Dr_willis lol that fixed it11:17
eagles0513875michael__ u had some minor corruption on teh disk so when ever things start becoming weird run that touch command again11:17
Dr_willisif the filesystem was currupted - it should allready detect it and do it anyway11:18
michael__okay11:18
eagles0513875Dr_willis me neither but if u can eek out the lil bit extra performance y not take it11:18
Dr_williseagles0513875,  because of other problem areas11:18
eagles0513875Dr_willis what other kinda problems r there with 64bit11:18
Dr_williseagles0513875,  lets see.. powersaving, java, flash, drivers, others.. (some are not muchof a problem any more)11:20

eldariaLilSarge: Yes, use the Acceleration., the higer, the faster13:31
LilSargepointer acceleration?13:33
eldariaLilSarge: in the mouse settings, push help, there it is explained pretty well. Basically Acceleration is how fast it moves compared to your movement, and the Threshold is how long before it will start accelerating.13:33

mefisto__does anybody know if the audio cd ripping feature in kde has a name? (the way it makes virtual folders MP3, Ogg Vorbis, etc)15:22
emilsedghmefisto__: you mean the audiocd:/ ? thats a kio slave15:23
mefisto__emilsedgh: if you put in an audio cd, then navigate to it with konqeror or dolphin, it will dispay a bunch of folders, first the actual CD audio files on the disk, then various other folders with each track inside, so ripping is done by just copying those "virtual" files and kde creates it as it is "copying"15:29
emilsedghyou could go there by typing audiocd:// in address bar, mefisto__15:29
emilsedghyou could use another applications, like KAudioCreator for ripping too15:30

mefisto__I'm not sure what that "add as podcast" is meant to do in d3lphin, but if you are trying to add a podcast to amarok it might be easier to copy the podcast url from the webpage, then add it to amarok directly16:18

anaises?16:21
Claybrain145mefisto - as for the podcast thing... I'm not familiar enough to know where to look for right-click actions to see where it's pulling that .desktop script to check for podcast.16:21
Claybrain145which is my assumption for why the error comes up...16:21
reesei mean, in vista, with the original drivers from realtek, the sound is like twice better and louder16:21
anaisspanich16:21
mefisto__Claybrain145: if the "add as podcast" thing is causing problems and you don't need that function, just delete it (or move it to another location in case you want to move it back)16:21

mefisto__Claybrain145: in konsole, type this: sudo mv /usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/amarok_addaspodcast.desktop ~/amarok_addaspodcast.desktop (this will move the file for the "add as podcast" thing to your home directory)16:23

Daisuke_Idofor instance, i just went to a dark theme, which obviously requires lighter text...  firefox picks up both parts of that, flock just changed the text colour, making it white-on-white17:21
mefisto__Daisuke_Ido: maybe the flock theme isn't playing nice with the kde theme. In my experience, firefox doesn't usually reflect kde themes unless it's using the default firefox theme17:22

jcgkffycsalso, I re installed windows, onto the first partition of my disk, I then went to re install kubuntu, on the last partition, my home partition and two swap partitins were let alone. When the kubuntu installer got the to partitioner phase it said that my disk was empty, I know it is not empty, since I can mount my other partitions using the windows ext2 driver, and I can also mount the volume properly onother linux systems18:01
jcgkffycsA similar thing happend to me before, and I was able to use cfdisk to make a minor change to my disk, and then it fixed the disk, this time the same strategy didnot fix the disk.18:02

azzcoNightrose: I finally found it but it's for use with pulseaudio, I really don't have any good experiences with it... Thanks anyways19:07
dwidmannsourcemaker: well, if I'm reading this correctly, you first need to make sure lvm is running (sudo /etc/init.d/lvm start should do the trick), then use "sudo crypsetup luksOpen <device> <name>"19:07
dwidmannsourcemaker: better would be to add it to the /etc/crypttab so it can be mounted by the /etc/init.d/crypsetup script19:08

SlimeyPetemaroo: yes, they're still a pain20:55

geniiMrJoey: You may need to remove lp driver, or reconfigure parport_pc with the address and irq21:33
MrJoeyOn my laptop's BIOS, there's an option to enable advanced LPT mode.  Will I need that?21:34
MrJoeyI can't turn it on because the BIOS is locked21:34

geniiMrJoey: Does it tell you in the bios what the address and irq is?21:35
MrJoeyYes, the irq is 7 and the address is 0x378 or so21:36
MrJoeyI don't remember exactly21:36
MrJoeyThere was 0x3... and 0x3B..., but it was the former21:36
Makuseruare there any graphing caculators in kubuntu?21:36

MrJoeyOh, goodie, modprobe parport-pc irq=7 io=0x378 ; modprobe plip made IRQ-less mode go away21:38

MrJoeyI'm worried about this:  Are there any parallel ports that will fit on both sides that aren't null modem?21:41
geniiMrJoey: use ifconfig to bring it down. Try: sudo ifconfig plip0 192.168.0.2 pointopoint 192.168.0.4 netmask 255.255.255.255 up21:41
geniiMrJoey: There are 25 pin plugs which are for other things. SCSI and parallel port scanners for instance21:42
MrJoeyCan I try sending data with lp instead (after deactivating plip)?21:45
MrJoeyI would think I could just do echo 'hi' > /dev/lp0 on one end and cat /dev/lp0 on the other21:45
geniiMaybe, haven't really tried it21:45

SeligArkinas far as any frontend is conserned,it succeeded22:32
JucatoSeligArkin: it should. because basically that package "locked" the database, because it may or may not break the system if left unattended. try removing/uninstalling the package first (if possible)22:32
