| kernco | What do I need to do to play DVDs in Kubuntu Hardy? I have installed kubuntu-restricted-extras, but that didn't seem to do it. | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| Dhraakellian | libdvdcss? | 00:02 |
| Dhraakellian | don't recall right off the bat how to get it | 00:02 |
| Dhraakellian | !libdvdcss | 00:02 |
| ubotu | For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 00:02 |
| kernco | It's says "no candidate version found for libdvdcss2" | 00:03 |

| TeslaTony_ | I think Hardy Heron has some goofy things about it that aren't finished, so those guides *might* not work | 00:04 |
| TeslaTony_ | If they don't, try #kubuntu+1 | 00:05 |
| kernco | Yeah, none of the things I've done in previous versions of Ubuntu seem to working with Hardy | 00:05 |
| Odd-rationale | TeslaTony_: i don't think #kubuntu+1 is a real support channel... | 00:05 |

| TeslaTony_ | Yeah. Listen to the bot | 00:06 |
| Roey | (something is weird with the Wacom on Kubuntu 8.04) | 00:06 |
| TeslaTony_ | Roey: I've been wanting to get a wacom tablet. For the most part, how are they on Linux? | 00:11 |
| Roey | TeslaTony_: they're ok but they're finnicky with the button strip | 00:13 |
| Roey | but generally ok | 00:13 |
| Roey | the software is the bigger issue... photoshop can out-do gimp in some important areas | 00:13 |
| ep | I lost 3d after running "dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server" The graphics adaptor is the same, just got a new monitor. To get back 3D, can I just change "nv" to "nvdia" in xorg.conf? | 00:14 |
| wpk | ep: it should work | 00:15 |
| ep | thanks | 00:15 |
| TeslaTony_ | Roey: I hear that a lot about photoshop. Kinda sad linux still has some deficient areas, although I suppose there isn't anything like paid programmers... | 00:17 |
| Roey | TeslaTony_: I don't think it relates to that--I think that Photoshop is more connected with a wider audience and in that way stands in a better position to receive comments and criticism from users | 00:19 |
| TeslaTony_ | Probably. Something I've found about Linux, though, is that a lot of the programs are from people who do <blank> first, but are decent programmers on the side. GIMP probably also suffers from "Okay, how do we be exactly like PhotoShop without getting sued?" | 00:22 |
| Roey | heh | 00:22 |
| Roey | well look at Krita then | 00:22 |
| Roey | but to be honest | 00:22 |
| Roey | a lot of the stuff seems unpolished sometimes | 00:22 |
| Roey | KDE 3.5.9 is great--warts and all-- | 00:22 |
| Roey | but 4.0.2 is honestly unusable (and that's been acknowledged) | 00:22 |
| Dhraakellian | wha? oh, right, n-dash | 00:23 |
| Dhraakellian | KDE 4.0 is the "eat your children" release | 00:23 |
| TeslaTony_ | "Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. Linux, however, is an extremely good value for the money" | 00:23 |
| Roey | Dhraakellian: well yes yes | 00:27 |
| Roey | TeslaTony_: oh I'm not complaining | 00:27 |
| Roey | I mean, I am | 00:27 |
| Roey | but i'm accepting of it | 00:27 |
| * TeslaTony_ snerks | 00:28 | |
| TeslaTony_ | My complaints can't be taken all THAT seriously if I'm using Linux... | 00:28 |
| Roey | :) | 00:29 |

| Roey | rebooting | 00:29 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | GIMP probably also suffers from "Okay, how do we be exactly like PhotoShop without getting sued?" | 00:45 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | tell me, have you actually sat down and *used* the GIMP? because apart from having a lot of the same functionality | 00:45 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | it's completely different, and tends to be the example thrown out when people complain that they can't use photoshop (but the gimp's learning curve is too high!) (it actually isn't that bad) | 00:46 |
| rofl | is there a cmd like "for %a in (*.txt) do unlink %a" in bash ? | 01:05 |
| Roey | rm *.txt ? | 01:05 |
| rofl | unlink *.txt does not work | 01:06 |
| Roey | out of curiosity, why are you using unlink specifically instead of rm? | 01:06 |
| rofl | i need to do it on a filename per filename basis | 01:06 |
| Roey | rofl: for n in *.txt; do unlink "$n"; done | 01:07 |

| Roey | ok | 01:08 |
| Roey | er | 01:08 |
| Roey | what do you mean, just the links | 01:08 |
| Roey | if you delete the only link to that file, you're deleting the file | 01:08 |
| Rageon | Roey is plugins inside the Behavoiur tab or? | 01:08 |
| Roey | Rageon: Plugins is another entry down that left-hand list | 01:09 |
| kgoetz | rofl: do you have files with symlinks to them and you want to delete the symlinks? | 01:09 |
| Rageon | its not there for me :s | 01:09 |
| Rageon | everything but | 01:09 |
| rofl | no, i have real txt files and some bad links (recursive) | 01:09 |
| kgoetz | rofl: then use find , tell it to look for symlilnks and -exec rm -vi {} \; | 01:09 |
| Roey | Rageon: it should be the second-to-last entry, above "Performance" | 01:09 |
| kgoetz | ask in #bash for more specific help though | 01:09 |
| rofl | in reality, it are DLL files , i made wrong symbolic links into the wine folder | 01:09 |
| Rageon | goes crypto > browser ident > performance for me :s | 01:10 |

| Jucato | sure | 01:23 |
| Jucato | use QtParted in the CD | 01:23 |
| adude | ok thanks | 01:23 |
| adude | when i reinstall kubuntu does it format the harddrive before it installs? | 01:25 |
| kgoetz | it can as part of the installer | 01:26 |
| Jucato | adude: only if you tell it to | 01:27 |
| === rofl_ is now known as sh4rm4 | ||
| adude | that might be my problem | 01:28 |
| adude | i had install the kde4 and had problems with the package manager | 01:28 |
| DarkriftX | adude, that problem is easy to fix :S | 01:29 |
| DarkriftX | you have to install one of its dependancies | 01:29 |
| adude | then i went back to kubuntu 7.10 and i have the same problem | 01:29 |
| DarkriftX | eery time i installed kubuntu kde4 i got the same thing | 01:29 |
| DarkriftX | paste me the error, it tells you what to install (kinda) | 01:29 |
| SteamMachine | Hiya | 01:30 |
| DarkriftX | try to run the package manager and tell me what it says (something about packageman or something) | 01:30 |
| SteamMachine | I'm having some serious mp3 playback issues with amarok | 01:30 |
| SteamMachine | Namely, I uninstalled certain packages that kept requesting upgrade (Even after they had been upgraded) | 01:30 |
| adude | i tells me another process iis using the package database | 01:30 |
| SteamMachine | but now Amarok can't enable mp3 playback | 01:30 |
| DarkriftX | oh, thats easy to fix | 01:30 |
| DarkriftX | i think | 01:30 |
| SteamMachine | and I'm completely at a loss. | 01:30 |
| DarkriftX | !aptfix | 01:31 |

| SteamMachine | libavcodec1d libavutil1d libpostproc1d - these were the packages I removed | 01:32 |
| SteamMachine | but when I attempt to reinstall them, it complains of multiple unmet dependencies | 01:32 |
| SteamMachine | and I also attempted to compile ffmpeg from source, but it told me option --enable-vorbis (amongst others) could not be found. | 01:32 |
| Roey | SteamMachine: you're trying to watch youtube too? ;)_ | 01:34 |
| SteamMachine | Say what? | 01:34 |
| Roey | all I hear with ffmpeg is regarding gstreamer and youtube | 01:35 |
| Roey | hehe | 01:35 |
| SteamMachine | Ah. | 01:35 |
| SteamMachine | It seems that the weakest link here is libx264-57. | 01:35 |
| SteamMachine | I can't install it and it's saying it's referred to but can't be found | 01:35 |
| kkathman | anyone know how you change the default power settings? Apparently the system is set to turn my monitor off every 15 minutes and I dont want that. | 01:36 |

| Jucato | (actually that was removed in Kubuntu...) | 01:36 |
| Jucato | kkathman: System Settings -> Display | 01:37 |
| SteamMachine | I've tried various methods of repairing this. | 01:37 |
| SteamMachine | But without certain dependencies... :( | 01:37 |
| kkathman | Jucato: thanks - I was looking for kpowersave but it wasnt running :) | 01:37 |
| Jucato | kkathman: kubuntu uses guidance-power-manager instead | 01:38 |

| len | I did a clean install of 8.04 after an attempted upgrade from 7.10 didn't go so well. I just want to set up my HP Photosmart C5180 printer only to discover that it is no longer in the list. I had no problem installing in 7.10 with out having to ad any extra package. The list of printers listed under HP seems to be only about half as long as it it in 7.10. What's going on? | 01:45 |
| SteamMachine | Okay. | 01:47 |
| SteamMachine | I think I've made some progress. | 01:47 |
| SteamMachine | I still can't get amarok to enable mp3, but now it's only requesting | 01:47 |
| SteamMachine | The following packages have been kept back: | 01:47 |

| draik | How do you add a 2nd drive in VirtualBox? I want to add my 2nd DVD drive, but cannot manage to find a way. | 01:48 |
| kkathman | SteamMachine: this is for Hardy? | 01:48 |
| SteamMachine | 7.10 | 01:49 |
| kkathman | ahh | 01:49 |
| kkathman | no clue why you'd get those messages | 01:49 |
| SteamMachine | hrm | 01:49 |
| len | That reminds me, I also have to reinstall/setup VirtualBox. :) | 01:50 |
| len | I seem remember VB is pretty picky about what devices are named in order for them to be recognized, (ie dvd's, etc.) and you have to create link for it to see it just how it wants to see them. | 01:52 |
| len | Nobody else has noticed missing printer definition files in Hardy that were available in 7.10? | 01:53 |
| Jucato | len: try asking in #ubuntu+1 | 01:53 |
| draik | len: I want to install a game, but it won't let me swap videos correctly. | 01:53 |
| SteamMachine | http://po-ru.com/diary/fixing-ffmpeg-on-ubuntu-edgy/ - okay, so it's all going well, except it complains about --enable-vorbis not found | 01:53 |
| len | OK, Too bad there is no kubuntu+1 | 01:54 |
| draik | len: That was to be swap DVDs, not videos | 01:54 |
| len | I'd look at my VB setup, but it's gone since the reinstall. I remember cdrom/dvd mounting was a pain though. | 01:55 |
| SteamMachine | Okay, libfaad-dev - can't be found. | 02:02 |
| SteamMachine | any fix? | 02:02 |
| nonewmsgs | i have copied and backed up my /home partition but some things seem a bit off like my ff extensions didn't copy and my evolution email client is no longer set up and it acts like i have no mail. | 02:04 |
| Jucato | nonewmsgs: did you copy even the hidden directories and files? | 02:04 |
| nonewmsgs | yes | 02:04 |
| Jucato | hm.. that would be weird... how about ownership and permissions? | 02:05 |
| nonewmsgs | i still have the originals too in a /homeOLD directory and i tried recopying .evolution but it's the same 4kb | 02:05 |
| nonewmsgs | i followed a guide someone linked me to here | 02:05 |
| nonewmsgs | but my bookmarks are gone so i dont remember which one | 02:05 |
| nonewmsgs | i got a new hard drive and i wanted to move my /home | 02:05 |
| nonewmsgs | afaik everything seems to be the same, but wallpaper reset and little things. the only big deal is my email | 02:06 |
| nonewmsgs | but iirc i had to do my evolution email in gnome because it was always like that in K | 02:07 |
| kkathman | home files wont be completely compatible but then most stuff should still work | 02:09 |
| kkathman | but you wouldn't use evolution in kubuntu anyway, or shouldnt | 02:09 |
| nonewmsgs | the new drive mounts at /home | 02:09 |
| kkathman | change it | 02:10 |
| kkathman | you can mount it anywhere | 02:10 |
| nonewmsgs | so umm how can i get my mail | 02:10 |
| nonewmsgs | idc about wallpaper, etc, but my email messages are another story | 02:11 |
| kkathman | nonewmsgs: iirc evolution's mail files are mbox | 02:11 |
| kkathman | and you can import those to kmail | 02:11 |
| nonewmsgs | suweet | 02:11 |
| kkathman | the other way around is harder however (kmail to evolution) | 02:12 |
| nonewmsgs | can i import them to thunderburd | 02:12 |
| kkathman | hmm I think so, yes | 02:12 |
| kkathman | I believe thunderbird does have an mbox import | 02:12 |
| nonewmsgs | hold on im in gnome right now, im going to go back into K | 02:12 |
| nonewmsgs | back | 02:14 |
| nonewmsgs | how can i find mbox | 02:16 |
| kkathman | nonewmsgs: well, on your gnome install you should be able to find your mail files | 02:16 |
| DarkriftX | does | 02:16 |
| Kr|ptiX | how do i remove wine when doin sudo apt-get remove wine it says it not installed but when doin command wine in terminal its works | 02:16 |

| bobleny | ? | 02:17 |
| DarkriftX | does 'cat /proc/partitions' efectivly show you all drives on the system that are mountable? | 02:17 |
| kkathman | nonewmsgs: its pretty well documented in google and the forums | 02:17 |
| nonewmsgs | i am supposed to reinstall gnome? | 02:17 |
| kkathman | no | 02:17 |
| kkathman | if you have the files | 02:18 |
| kkathman | or your home directory | 02:18 |
| nonewmsgs | i have a /home that is ~300gb | 02:18 |

| nonewmsgs | how can i automatically view pictures in kmail | 02:57 |
| nonewmsgs | eddy most free software is free as in free use and in free of cost | 02:57 |
| Dhraakellian | eddy: if you pay for a distro, it's usually just the cost of the physical discs, any hardcopy manuals included in the box, and possibly a support contract too | 02:59 |
| Dhraakellian | the software itself is freely available through a number of methods | 03:00 |
| Dr_willis | I recall mandriva/mandrake comming with some rather hefty sized books when i last bought it - ages ago. | 03:00 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 03:00 |
| nonewmsgs | Dr_willis, good evening friend | 03:02 |
| Dhraakellian | yeah, give away the software, sell support services | 03:02 |

| surgy | if i go out and buy an internal tv tuner card, will kubuntu support it? | 03:27 |
| Claybrain145 | surgy, I ahve one and it appears to be recognized by kubuntu, but I haven't taken the time to test it out yet. | 03:29 |
| Claybrain145 | I check Device Manager and there aren't any missing drivers or anything like that. | 03:29 |
| surgy | well will i actually be able to use it like a dvr? | 03:30 |
| nonewmsgs | how does autodetection of new hardware work in linux? like does someone have to do a search or is it all automatic | 03:30 |
| Claybrain145 | I dunno.. I just started using it last week, haven't plugged it in yet to a cable. I was just saying it had no device conflicts. | 03:30 |
| Claybrain145 | So I imagine if you can find the software for it, you should be okay. | 03:31 |
| Matt1728 | can someone help me set up Kmail to a Mail.com account | 03:31 |
| nonewmsgs | Matt1728, do you know where there are instructions for a different email client ie outlook? | 03:33 |
| kgoetz | rofl | 03:33 |
| Claybrain145 | surgy - It would be better to check with the TV Tuner manufacturer to see if they support linux or not. | 03:33 |
| kgoetz | forward the bot to ##F_Y_C | 03:33 |
| surgy | Claybrain145: yeah right whats the chances of that? | 03:34 |

| nonewmsgs | eddy you have to use the livecd and gparted or qparted | 03:36 |
| eddy | plz | 03:36 |
| eddy | whats the difference | 03:36 |
| nonewmsgs | not much. one is k and one is gmoe | 03:36 |

| Claybrain145 | I got an MSI TV @nywhere card.. and found a couple sites to help configure it... | 03:37 |

| eddy | so qpartd | 03:38 |
| Claybrain145 | It's not impossible to configure it, as to get it to work as a DVR, I am not 100% sure... | 03:39 |
| Claybrain145 | could never get it to work with a cable box even under windows XP... | 03:39 |
| Claybrain145 | any experts on vid cards here? | 03:39 |
| kgx | hi. if i have a bash function, is there any way to tell if a parameter that was sent to it was quoted using double or single quotes? for instance, i need to differentiate between `my-fuction "asd"` and `my-fuction 'asd'` | 03:40 |
| surgy | is the ati all in wonder searies fully supported in kubuntu? | 03:40 |

| eddy | the qpartedis the same livecd | 03:43 |
| eddy | ? | 03:43 |
| Claybrain145 | wow, I should shut up. I don't have any real answers, just know how to locate them on this series of tubes I have before me. | 03:44 |
| Claybrain145 | sorry Surgy, ignore my comments. | 03:44 |
| surgy | lol | 03:45 |
| surgy | no you help a small amount :) | 03:45 |
| jtisme | kgx not that i know of the parser throws them away after it determines what to do based on double or single quotes | 03:45 |
| surgy | i just want a tv tunner for my desktop becuase i dont have shelf space for another tv | 03:46 |
| surgy | but i dislike windows | 03:46 |
| kgx | jtisme: yeah wouldnt think so. thanks | 03:46 |
| Claybrain145 | eh, I hope it tell you what you need to know. I've had such a bad experience with this TV Tuner card and configuring it against my cable box (had comcast, and now with Verizon)... I just gave up trying to. | 03:46 |
| Claybrain145 | I can get the incoming signal, but I can't change channels with the card. | 03:47 |
| surgy | hmm | 03:47 |
| surgy | well i want it to be like a tv and receave all input from the coax, i would be happy with simple analog cable | 03:47 |
| Claybrain145 | maybe I missed something, perhaps there is a way, but i haven't figured it out yet. | 03:47 |
| Claybrain145 | If you can get the incoming signal, and then have the cable box on top, that should be cool... | 03:48 |
| surgy | lol | 03:48 |
| Claybrain145 | I dunno, about using a DVR in conjunction. | 03:48 |
| surgy | i dont want to pay $160 for another cable box | 03:48 |
| Claybrain145 | well, I just installed Kubunt last week, and I havne't had too many problems with what I usually do with it... this TV @nywhere card is also an FM Tuner.. about to try to configure that sometime this week... | 03:49 |
| Claybrain145 | surgy - google has always been my best friend in finding information. somehow, Yahoo and ask.com seem to lack in knowing what I'm really asking for with my key words.. google hits it almost every time. | 03:51 |
| Claybrain145 | I would say, if there is a way to do it in Windows, then you should be able to find a way to do it in Linux. | 03:51 |
| Claybrain145 | After a week... I had to install some plug-ins for some different sound formats I work with, but have had no issue with anything else... | 03:52 |
| Claybrain145 | I even saved an open office document as a Windows Office XP-2003 document and sent it to my GF, and she had no trouble opening it. | 03:53 |

| ruben | anyone know where the screen resolution information is stored with kubuntu kde4? i checked in xorg.conf and didn't see any monitor info in it | 04:07 |
| kgoetz | it autodetects | 04:09 |
| ruben | so how can i enable dual monitor support then? | 04:10 |
| ruben | and how can i tell what video driver the sys is using? | 04:11 |
| kgoetz | dunno. i thought it was meant to work it out for itself | 04:11 |
| kgoetz | ruben: are you running 7.10 or 8.04? | 04:11 |
| ruben | 804 | 04:12 |
| kgoetz | asked in #ubuntu+1? | 04:12 |
| ruben | no, just kubuntu-kde4 but no one is answering | 04:13 |
| kgoetz | i'd think its a +1 question | 04:13 |

| === pramod is now known as Helios | ||
| Helios | Hello | 04:27 |
| Helios | Anyone who uses ubuntu as well as kubuntu here? | 04:27 |
| kkathman | not sure why you'd use both unless you are testing one versus the other | 04:29 |
| Helios | yeah this is wat i want to do,... :) | 04:29 |
| kkathman | test away then | 04:30 |
| Helios | to see which is better... | 04:30 |
| kkathman | kde is better - no question | 04:30 |
| kkathman | but gnome can be simplier for the inexperienced user | 04:30 |
| kkathman | but make no mistake - kde is better by far | 04:30 |
| Helios | well i use kubuntu... | 04:31 |
| kkathman | kubuntu = kde + ubuntu, basically | 04:31 |
| Helios | well sometimes i find some kinks in kde like it crashes sometimes... | 04:32 |
| kkathman | unusual, usually that can be traced to some user setting | 04:32 |
| kkathman | but there are bugs in everything | 04:32 |
| kkathman | nautilus, as a file manger is terrible, if you are more than a casual user | 04:33 |
| Helios | yeah.. ok will see to it... never used ubuntu... will try it on the 8.04 version | 04:33 |
| kkathman | wont be much different | 04:33 |
| Helios | i found it nice and simple compared to kde... | 04:34 |
| kkathman | its still gnome | 04:34 |
| Helios | and ubuntu can also be changed to kubuntu if am not mistaken... | 04:34 |
| === mike__ is now known as tcpdumpgod | ||
| kkathman | it can go either way, but upgrading is harder if you have both | 04:35 |
| Helios | i think i gonna use it in alternate way.. like once ubuntu and the release after kubuntu... | 04:36 |
| Helios | how can i uninstall a whole package? | 04:37 |
| Helios | i tried installing Kde4... | 04:38 |
| Helios | but the kde 4 programs do not seem to be starting when i click on them... | 04:38 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you're not missing much. | 04:38 |
| Daisuke_Ido | but as far as changing... if you're using ubuntu, just install kubuntu-desktop and select kde from the session menu at login | 04:39 |
| kkathman | kde4 just isnt ready -I think it wont be ready for some time, to be honest | 04:39 |
| Helios | i am using kubuntu... | 04:39 |
| Helios | so this is the beta version? | 04:39 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and if you're using kubuntu to start, install ubuntu-desktop and same thing, select gnome from the session menu at login | 04:39 |
| ruben | kkathman: agreed. been using it for a couple of days now and there are some noticible bugs | 04:39 |
| kkathman | well the whole thing keeps getting delayed | 04:40 |
| ruben | but i will say this, once they fix those issues it will be a heck of an environment | 04:40 |
| Daisuke_Ido | kde4 is at a final release, but like gnome 2.0, kde 3.0, and most other first releases, it won't be *good* until at least 4.1 | 04:40 |
| kkathman | I did some beta testing and worked with the kde team for a while - they honestly are a bit in disarray | 04:40 |
| Helios | like kde gnome also has some upgrades? | 04:40 |
| kkathman | gnome is gnome - deficient in major ways - especially their apps | 04:41 |
| ruben | i think they've thrown a lot of usefull default functionality in it. regarding the team being in disarray...welcome to community based s/w :-) | 04:41 |
| kkathman | name any gnome app and the kde equivalent is clearly superior | 04:41 |
| Helios | deficient? wat is means... sorry i know that a stupid question... :S | 04:42 |
| kkathman | gnome doesnt even have a credible web editor like quanta | 04:42 |
| ruben | helios: kkathman: okok, lets not be starting flame wars | 04:42 |
| kkathman | sorry we'll take it offtopic | 04:42 |
| kkathman | but ruben you know its true :) | 04:42 |
| ruben | lol, i plead the 5th | 04:43 |
| kkathman | chicken :) | 04:43 |
| ruben | ;), just politically correct | 04:43 |
| kkathman | I hate that terms | 04:43 |
| kkathman | lol | 04:43 |
| ruben | no one's perfect | 04:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | kkathman, xchat. | 04:44 |
| TeslaTony | Does anyone know of a linux based iris scanner that can use an off-the-shelf webcam? | 04:44 |
| kkathman | ?? | 04:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you said name an app and you'd say how the kde equivalent is better | 04:45 |
| Daisuke_Ido | let's hear it :) | 04:45 |
| ruben | konversation is pretty good me thinks | 04:45 |
| kkathman | oh - xchat isnt that bad, but clearly not as good as kde irc apps imho but again,...offtopic | 04:45 |
| Daisuke_Ido | yeah, until you want to script, i dunno, ANYTHING | 04:45 |
| prince_jammys | inkscape, firefox | 04:45 |
| Daisuke_Ido | or change anything significant in any way | 04:45 |
| kkathman | kvirc is superior to xchat in every way | 04:45 |
| Daisuke_Ido | if by superior you mean inferior, then sure | 04:46 |
| ruben | lmao | 04:46 |
| kkathman | no I mean what superior means | 04:46 |
| prince_jammys | don't get me wrong, i'm all the way kde. but there's a few of gnomish apps that are quite good | 04:46 |
| kkathman | xchat is probably the best gnome has to offer tho :) | 04:46 |
| kkathman | which is sad | 04:46 |
| kkathman | again - Im done - cuz its offtopic | 04:47 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and i'm in -offtopic :) | 04:47 |
| ruben | my take it this: the heck with judging which apps are better on which environment. if its a kde-based app and you like gnome, then just fire the dang thing up in kde | 04:48 |
| ruben | not sure what the big deal is really | 04:48 |
| ruben | you may run into some styling ui issues here and there but that's about it | 04:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ruben, i use a mix of kde and gnome apps all the time | 04:49 |
| ruben | my point exactly | 04:49 |
| ruben | so what's the fuss all about then? in truths, there is no clear superior environment in linux. they both have their advantages and disadvantages | 04:50 |
| ruben | hmm, let me fix that last | 04:50 |
| ruben | they all have their adv...disadv... | 04:50 |

| jussi01 | argh, got to go to work, hopefully someone else is around. | 06:34 |

| eddieftw | MrBarrett: okay i'll help you at | 06:36 |
| MrBarrett | cheers | 06:36 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| eddieftw | you want to set it up so that you have some room left for your xp (add more file if you want) and then the rest of the space for ubuntu | 06:36 |
| MrBarrett | its an 80gb with 45gb in use | 06:37 |
| eddieftw | okay so maybe set 20 gigs for your kubuntu? | 06:37 |
| MrBarrett | i just set 9gb is that ok? | 06:37 |
| eddieftw | there should be a slider or something similar to show which part of the hard drive you want to partition | 06:37 |
| eddieftw | yea that should be more than enough | 06:37 |
| eddieftw | you can always add more or less later | 06:38 |
| MrBarrett | i did a manual partition | 06:38 |
| eddieftw | okay what do you see now? | 06:38 |
| MrBarrett | im up to step 4 on k7.1 | 06:38 |
| eddieftw | is there a section where you can click 'next' and that should parition the hd? | 06:39 |
| MrBarrett | i have one for free space to i check format? | 06:39 |
| eddieftw | yes that should be the one that is partitioned at 9gigs? | 06:39 |
| eddieftw | if so, then you check format | 06:39 |
| MrBarrett | yest | 06:39 |
| MrBarrett | free space says 7221mb? | 06:40 |
| eddieftw | hmm that's doesn't sound right.. | 06:41 |
| MrBarrett | next..... ne root file system defined.... correct in partitioning menu? | 06:41 |
| eddieftw | is there a way i can get a screenshot or someting similar | 06:42 |
| eddieftw | a visual would be amazing right no | 06:42 |
| eddieftw | now* | 06:42 |
| MrBarrett | its hard im installing on another computer | 06:42 |
| eddieftw | ah yea, i think it has to do with the parition | 06:44 |
| eddieftw | the parition that is formatted should be 9gigs right | 06:44 |
| eddieftw | and you are trying to isntallit on that | 06:44 |
| MrBarrett | wont let me check the format box | 06:45 |
| eddieftw | it should be already formatted? | 06:45 |
| MrBarrett | 9gb yes | 06:45 |
| eddieftw | im confused slightly | 06:45 |
| MrBarrett | step 4 of 6 | 06:45 |
| eddieftw | thats not the issue, i know where you are and what you're trying to do, im trying to remember the proper way to proceed | 06:46 |
| eddieftw | i normally just do the whole thing:/ | 06:46 |

| MrBarrett | at what step juss? | 06:47 |
| jussi01 | erik__: use #kubuntu-kde4 you will need to be patient as its quiet at this time of day. | 06:47 |

| MrBarrett | whats a swap partition? | 06:53 |
| jussi01 | !swap | 06:53 |
| ubotu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 06:53 |
| jussi01 | MrBarrett: like a pagefile in windows | 06:53 |
| MrBarrett | what size is best for me? | 06:54 |
| jussi01 | MrBarrett: double your ram size and make it that much | 06:54 |
| MrBarrett | tar | 06:54 |
| MrBarrett | so back to step 4 of 5 do i check both the freespace and swap for format and click yes? | 07:10 |
| jussi01 | MrBarrett: yes, just dont format your windows partition | 07:10 |

| Jucato | !night | 08:33 |
| ubotu | It's the middle of the night in the US and Europe, and surrounds. This means that a lot of people are likely asleep, therefore there are less potential people who can answer your question. Please be patient, and consider asking at a time when more people will be awake. This is particularly true in the quieter channels. | 08:33 |

| troofy | is it a good idea to use a server for desktop use also. (linux)? | 08:38 |
| drif | troofy: depends on usage | 08:38 |
| troofy | normal desktop use. chating. movies. downloads. server , webserver, ircd | 08:39 |
| drif | troofy: atleast to me linux machine is quite versatile - services I need are lightweight such as occasional file storage, http-daemon etc. | 08:40 |
| dwidmann | troofy: think drif meant the server use/load | 08:40 |
| drif | troofy: I see no controversy between those two uses for the same system | 08:40 |
| troofy | some people say if iuse server as desktop. it will make it slow and disconect users in ircd when i download something . lag them if i play a game | 08:41 |
| drif | troofy: that's entirely upto your internet connection | 08:41 |
| Jucato | troofy: it's less about the machine and probably more about your connection | 08:42 |
| troofy | hm | 08:42 |
| troofy | the machine speed will not be slowed? | 08:43 |
| drif | but disconnect ircd-users? not likely to happen | 08:43 |
| Jucato | depends.. I doubt you'd be using a lowend machine for a server *and* a desktop at the same time | 08:43 |
| Jucato | low-end | 08:43 |
| troofy | i use ubuntu. should i use server install or desktop install to use both as server and desktop | 08:44 |
| drif | troofy: desktop install works fine, just install additional services afterwards | 08:44 |
| jussi01 | troofy: desktop | 08:44 |
| dwidmann | troofy: depends how you plan to set up the desktop .. if you're just going to dump in kubuntu-desktop or such, it won't make a difference, if you're going to be pickier go with the server install | 08:44 |
| troofy | hm | 08:45 |
| dwidmann | You'll probably want hte -generic kernel instead of the -server kernel though | 08:45 |

| shockhead | hi folks, how long does it take for new packages to show up in the repositories? | 12:02 |
| shockhead | is there a delay once a package is submitted? | 12:02 |
| Jucato | shockhead: submitted where and how? and yes, it takes time for mirrors to sync | 12:03 |
| shockhead | Jucato: just looking at this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/201591 which refers to the package linux - 2.6.24-13.23 | 12:04 |
| shockhead | but it's not in the repositories.. just wondering if that was a problem somewhere or if it's just usual to have a delay | 12:05 |
| Jucato | shockhead: you are in hardy? | 12:05 |
| andy_ | !compiz | 12:05 |
| ubotu | 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 | 12:05 |
| shockhead | yep, sorry should probably be in #ubuntu+1 | 12:06 |
| * Jucato nods | 12:06 | |
| * shockhead always makes this mistake | 12:06 | |
| Jucato | shockhead: also it doesn't say if the package was uploaded already | 12:06 |
| shockhead | but it guess it's just a general question... | 12:06 |
| Jucato | shockhead: it actually depends. it will take longer for a fix to go down to gutsy than it is for hardy | 12:07 |
| shockhead | Jucato: i thought that since it's there with a version number that it would be uploaded already... didn't know it worked like that | 12:08 |
| shockhead | is the launchpad janitor a bot? | 12:09 |
| Jucato | shockhead: well, it could, or it couldn't. packages are made locally on a computer first before it's uploaded of course. and version number are made there too. best to ask in #ubuntu+1 if the package is available already | 12:09 |
| Dr_willis | hmm.. Im testing out streamripper to rip some streams. but only a few ever get moved to the 'complete' dir. Most stay Incomplete. Anyone Ever noticed this? | 12:09 |

| ActionParsnip | Plantain: not seen that one. does restarting x help any? | 12:19 |

| cuznt | http://arstechnica.com/journals/microsoft.ars/2008/03/30/vista-second-os-to-fall-to-hackers-in-security-contest | 12:40 |
| cuznt | not spam | 12:40 |
| cuznt | osx vs vista vs linux.... an ubuntu remained untouched | 12:41 |
| * cuznt wonders how could that be???? | 12:41 | |
| Tidus | there isn't a version of windows to date that's untouchable | 12:41 |
| cuznt | i know | 12:42 |
| cuznt | but the mac was the 1st do drop | 12:42 |
| cuznt | thats even better | 12:42 |
| cuznt | Nevertheless, Vista's fall on the last day left the Sony Vaio laptop running Ubuntu as the ultimate winner—Linux was the last OS left standing. | 12:43 |
| Tidus | it's not a fair competition unless they're all running the exact same hardware | 12:44 |
| Tidus | different drivers might have different security holes | 12:45 |
| kgoetz | judging by the first bit i dont think the competition holds anyway | 12:45 |
| kgoetz | it was a hack in flash, not vista | 12:46 |
| Dr_willis | Tidus, so they all need to be running on apple machines then? | 12:46 |
| Tidus | Dr_willis: yeah, since that's about the only way you're gettin osx on there | 12:46 |
| kgoetz | Tidus: same hardware simply isnt feasible | 12:46 |
| Tidus | 3 US$600 mac minis isn't feasible? | 12:47 |
| kgoetz | not convinced its that important, as long as their all the same arch | 12:47 |
| kgoetz | doze isnt designed to run on mac hardware, so expecting it to is unfair | 12:47 |
| Dr_willis | it was just a contest.. :) you are trying too hard to level the field.. | 12:48 |
| Dr_willis | if linux got hacked first due to an apache flaw.. i bet the windows guys wouldent let that be an excuse. | 12:48 |
| Tidus | newer mac hardware is core2duo | 12:48 |
| Dr_willis | back to reading the news ..... US Attorney General: Piracy funds terror | 12:48 |
| Dr_willis | but windows isent specifically designed to run on them.. so that could be an 'excuse' also. | 12:50 |
| Dr_willis | It was just a contest.. :) | 12:50 |
| Dr_willis | i bet my Timexsinclare would be the winner! | 12:50 |
| kgoetz | Dr_willis: its just a dodgy contest with a dodgy article :) | 12:50 |
| Dr_willis | kgoetz, sounds like standard fair on the dodgy news sites.. | 12:52 |
| Dr_willis | if windows had cam4e out on top. i bet MS would be all over it.. | 12:52 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 12:52 |
| kgoetz | Dr_willis: sure :) | 12:53 |
| * Dr_willis goes backing to reading imporntant news like the 'Second Life Sex Toys Piracy Law suits; | 12:54 | |
| Dr_willis | :) | 12:54 |
| * kgoetz notices Dr_willis only visits teh best news sources | 12:56 | |

| drarem | I tried Services, don't see it in there | 13:39 |
| * Tw|sT peeks in | 13:44 | |
| dthacker | drarem: look for a start script in /etc/init.d. | 13:45 |
| drarem | i see a tremulous-server.sh in there | 13:48 |
| drarem | either I can edit that or find where it runs from | 13:48 |
| SlimeyPete | scripts in init.d are run automatically at bott time, however I think you can use update-rc.d to disable them | 13:49 |
| SlimeyPete | *boot | 13:49 |
| SlimeyPete | yeah... sudo update-rc.d scriptname remove I think | 13:50 |

| eagles0513875 | im having a rather severe issue with trying to install kubuntu and its really starting to upset me can anyone possibly help me | 14:31 |
| SlimeyPete | eagles0513875: just describe your problem and if anyone here can help, they will | 14:31 |
| eagles0513875 | here is my issue and i tried both the alternat cd and regular one of hardy beta when coming to intall wiht the desktop up or just the installer in the regular cd it freezes while loading partitions in the alternate cd it installs fine but the probelm arises when booting after install it hangs on loading hardware devices. is this because my hardwear is too new | 14:32 |
| eagles0513875 | should i switch ovr to the kubuntu+1 channel | 14:33 |
| Jucato | eagles0513875: or bad burns... orcorrupted download.... #ubuntu+1 | 14:33 |
| eagles0513875 | Jucato this even happened on gutsy | 14:33 |
| eagles0513875 | and i used that cd on a previous machine and it worked fine | 14:33 |
| Jucato | oh... | 14:33 |
| eagles0513875 | let me get in the other channel and ask in there | 14:34 |
| lingard | whats the best way to access selected files from remote locations outside lan? | 14:34 |
| eagles0513875 | lingard it would be vpn | 14:35 |
| lingard | are they easy to set up? | 14:35 |
| jhutchins_wk | lingard: ssh/scp | 14:35 |
| lingard | eek | 14:35 |
| lingard | it sounds complicated? | 14:35 |
| Tw|sT | eagles0513875 : HAve you tried using a different optical drive? (if you have one handy) | 14:35 |
| jhutchins_wk | eagles0513875: Have you verified the md5sum of both the .iso file and the CD? | 14:35 |
| jhutchins_wk | lingard: scp user@other.com:/path/to/file /path/to/save file | 14:36 |
| Tw|sT | If the disc just worked on a separate system, it could be that the rom drive is going bad.... maybe a dust particle on the laser, but could also just be the laser reaching EOL (end of lifespan) | 14:37 |
| eagles0513875 | Tw|sT this is a laptop | 14:37 |
| Tw|sT | ah... | 14:37 |
| eagles0513875 | i wish i could but not that easy | 14:37 |
| eagles0513875 | it reads the cd and everything just fine | 14:37 |
| Tw|sT | you'd have to test it against a USB CD drive then.... if the laptop will boot from a USB CD drive, that is.... | 14:38 |
| jhutchins_wk | eagles0513875: You know, none of that really matters. the md5sum of the iso and CD matter though. | 14:38 |
| Tw|sT | I've got one here, on hand, just for that specific reason | 14:38 |
| eagles0513875 | jhutchins_wk thing is i have my burner set to verify data on the cd and everything checks out | 14:39 |
| Tw|sT | I had a laptop that the DVDRW started acting up on, and the replacement from HP was $349, so it was a no brainer to just go to Best Buy and pick up a $79 18x lightscribe USB external. | 14:39 |
| eagles0513875 | Tw|sT thing is this laptop is under warrenty got it as an xmas present | 14:40 |
| lingard | is it easy to set up a machine as an FTP server? | 14:40 |
| lingard | or even a web server | 14:40 |
| === Trevi is now known as Trevinho | ||
| clau30_ | lingard: as easy as starting a program (daemon) :) | 14:41 |
| lingard | how about standard router configuration? i have an O2 wireless box (thompson 780 i think) | 14:42 |
| clau30_ | lingard: setting it up might be a bit more difficult, but there are plenty of ressources on the net | 14:42 |
| lingard | thanks | 14:42 |
| Tw|sT | eagles0513875 : ah... in that case, you gotta be totally sure before sending it in for an RMA/warrantee-repair. | 14:43 |
| clau30_ | lingard: what do you mean? routers have a web interface afaik | 14:43 |
| Tw|sT | eagles0513875 : tough break, either way... Best of luck m8! :) | 14:43 |
| lingard | to access it remotely i'd need to enter my IP address wouldn't i? then how would the router know which machine is the server? | 14:44 |
| lingard | or am i overcomplicating it? | 14:44 |
| PupenoG- | Is there a screen saver that would show a web page? | 14:45 |
| eagles0513875 | Tw|sT hp even messed up vista with all their junk they add to it | 14:45 |
| clau30_ | lingard: well, first you should be connected with it some way (wire or wireless) | 14:45 |
| clau30_ | lingard: then you'd have to enter the IP address of the router | 14:45 |
| eagles0513875 | Tw|sT thanks | 14:46 |
| clau30_ | lingard: don't you have the handbook? should be described there I think | 14:46 |
| lingard | lol, no manual | 14:46 |
| clau30_ | lingard: (sorry, I personally don't own a router) | 14:46 |
| lingard | but yes, enter the ip for the gui | 14:46 |
| jhutchins_wk | lingard: Setting it up is easy. Securing it so you don't instantly become a spambot, not so easy. FTP is the most notoriously hackable protocol we run. | 14:46 |
| lingard | security isn't really an issue | 14:47 |
| lingard | i don't think.... | 14:47 |
| clau30_ | lingard: are you connected with the router? | 14:47 |
| lingard | yeah | 14:47 |
| clau30_ | lingard: and do you know it's (ip) address? | 14:47 |
| lingard | yup | 14:47 |
| jhutchins_wk | lingard: Security is always an issue if you're connected to the internet. The average "half-life" of a raw Windows XP machine connected to the net is about ten minutes. | 14:47 |
| clau30_ | lingard: type it in a web broswer, that should bring up the interface | 14:47 |
| clau30_ | heh, true :) | 14:48 |
| jhutchins_wk | lingard: Anyway, what you usually do is tell the router to forward traffic for certain ports (ie 80 for http) to a certain internal machine. | 14:48 |
| * thoreauputic never runs ftp servers and only uses ftp clients if absolutely no other way exists | 14:48 | |
| thoreauputic | ftp is like telnet - passwords in the clear etc. etc. | 14:49 |
| LjL | thoreauputic: you mean like IRC? | 14:49 |
| thoreauputic | LjL: heh | 14:49 |
| lingard | so would a web server be better? | 14:49 |
| thoreauputic | LjL: true that :) | 14:49 |
| clau30_ | lingard: it depends what do you need | 14:49 |
| jhutchins_wk | LjL: Like IRC except it can give someone root access. | 14:50 |
| lingard | i want to be able to (and allow others with ro permission) access files on my pc | 14:50 |
| jhutchins_wk | lingard: learning to use scp would be good. | 14:50 |
| thoreauputic | lingard: scp , sftp | 14:50 |
| thoreauputic | sshfs | 14:50 |
| jhutchins_wk | lingard: Most ISP's include a free basic web page, that's a good way to share things that need sharing. | 14:50 |
| Tw|sT | eagles0513875 : yeah... I can vouch for that. I have the same prob here. From a clean install of the OEM build, I had to spend about an hour cleaning up after their worthless demo apps, then scour the registry with CCleaner. I've got another system running Vista Ult (retail) and it has heat problems with the motherboard... but, I didn't narrow it down to that until I'd pulled everything else that I possibly could, which caused th | 14:51 |
| Tw|sT | ime since I've had that copy. I hope that the techs I've been talking with are invalidating my old vsid, so that when I do finally replace this motherboard and call it in yet again, they won't give me some crap about not being able to reactivate again. The OEM copies don't have that option... which has been making alot of ppl very angry... understandably. | 14:51 |
| jhutchins_wk | lingard: That way you're not placing your own system at risk, and most ISP's have at least a quarter of a clue about securing their hosts. | 14:51 |
| lingard | i'm looking to share about 150gb | 14:51 |

| jhutchins_wk | toti_: Misconfigured X server - wrong driver or more likely wrong specs for it. | 14:52 |
| lingard | whats the non adept app manager thats on ubuntu? | 14:53 |
| toti_ | But there are the same problems on (I know shame on me) Windows | 14:53 |
| Pici | lingard: Synaptic | 14:53 |
| lingard | cheers | 14:53 |
| jhutchins_wk | toti_: I would guess it's the scan frequencies of the monitor that are wrong. LCD's don't like being driven at anything other than their "native" resolution. | 14:53 |
| toti_ | It's running on native resolution | 14:54 |
| toti_ | And it's running on it's native frequency to | 14:56 |
| jhutchins_wk | toti_: Well, in that case, especially if the problem is exactly the same in Windows, it could be hardware. | 15:04 |

| Darkside | hi, when i'm using Opera or Firefox, and i bring up a shell window in front of it, all the graphics on the opera or firefox screen become garbled | 15:16 |
| Darkside | any idea why? | 15:16 |
| jhutchins_wk | Darkside: Is your graphics system embedded? Does it "share" system memory? | 15:19 |
| Darkside | n... hmm | 15:19 |
| Darkside | i'm pretty sure it doesn't | 15:19 |
| Darkside | I'm on a laptop, the card is an ATI Mobility Radeon X600 | 15:19 |
| Darkside | and i'm using the open source drivers | 15:19 |
| Darkside | bah, i just rebooted X and the problem has disappeared | 15:20 |
| Darkside | i'll let you know if it comes back | 15:21 |
| Darkside | jhutchins_wk, would you reccomend the fglrx drivers? | 15:22 |
| Darkside | recommend * | 15:22 |
| Exilant | well, they work, have 3d-accel, but a very own list of problems | 15:24 |
| Darkside | heh | 15:25 |
| Darkside | supposedly the open source drivers support some 3d acceleration on my card, but its *really* slow | 15:25 |
| jhutchins_wk | Does anybody know if the cups administration bug ever got fixed? I'm planning to revise my blog and take the resolution off the front page, I'd like it verified as gone if it is. | 15:25 |
| Exilant | well, depends if you need 3d | 15:25 |
| Exilant | or _want_ | 15:26 |
| Darkside | Exilant, i would like to be able to use google earth at a reasonable speed :P | 15:26 |
| jhutchins_wk | Darkside: I would recommend getting a solid 2d resolution first, since most of what you'll do with a PC is 2d. If you really want 3d, mess with that seperately. | 15:26 |
| jhutchins_wk | Darkside: Remember change one thing at a time and keep notes. | 15:26 |
| Darkside | mm | 15:26 |
| jhutchins_wk | 3d is still very much in the developmental stage. | 15:27 |
| Darkside | the version of fglrx available through the driver manager isn't the latest version is it... | 15:27 |
| jhutchins_wk | If you're on a laptop, then it probably _is_ an on-board/embedded chipset, and probably _doesn't_ have dedicated video RAM. | 15:27 |
| SlimeyPete | the x600 does, I believe | 15:27 |
| SlimeyPete | some of the better laptop chipsets have their own RAM these days | 15:28 |
| Darkside | its a PCI-E graphics card, as far as i understand | 15:28 |
| Exilant | darkside: well, it runs ok here (fglrx) | 15:28 |
| Darkside | and yeah, i believe it has its own video RAM | 15:28 |
| Darkside | 256mb i believe... not completely sure though | 15:28 |
| Darkside | I can play HL2: Ep 2 on it, with decent quality :P | 15:29 |
| Darkside | Exilant, what graphics card are you running? | 15:29 |
| Darkside | and are you on a laptop or a desktop? | 15:29 |
| Exilant | laptop | 15:29 |
| Exilant | RADEON 9600/9700 | 15:30 |
| Exilant | at least that's what fglrxinfo tells me | 15:30 |
| Darkside | hrm | 15:30 |
| trappist | hey I know I set my default smb password for kde somewhere, can somebody tell me where that is? | 15:30 |
| Darkside | i heard the fglrx driver doesn't work with hibernation | 15:30 |

| Exilant | so i got so used to not using hibernation | 15:31 |
| Exilant | that i don't know if it works | 15:31 |
| Exilant | hm, i'll test | 15:31 |
| Darkside | heh | 15:32 |
| Darkside | i haven't used hibernation on my laptop yet, kubuntu boots up so fast | 15:32 |
| ubuntu | i have a question regarding usb drive mounting in kubuntu | 15:34 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Thomas-wmii | ||
| Thomas-wmii | I have a 128-mb flash drive that holds my old c++ code, and when i plug it in, it returns an error | 15:34 |
| Exilant | darkside: works fine | 15:37 |
| Darkside | k | 15:37 |
| Darkside | im gonna have a go with them | 15:37 |
| Darkside | ok restart time... | 15:39 |
| Darkside | i'll let you know if things work | 15:39 |
| Exilant | darkside: however, took almost 3 minutes down and up again, might as well reboot | 15:42 |
| Darkside | ok | 15:42 |
| Darkside | im using the fglrx drivers now... how could i test them? | 15:42 |

| BunnyRevolution | hi. i currently have python-central < 6.x installed but need >= 6.0 for a program i am running. i understand i can get this via a hardy repo. is this the best option? | 15:46 |

| Darkside | no | 15:47 |
| Darkside | ill go full screen | 15:47 |

| Darkside | when i go fullscreen the gears are only in the bottom left corner | 15:47 |
| nosrednaekim | BunnyRevolution: I wouldn't upgrade pthon-central. | 15:47 |
| Darkside | and i get this: 1365 frames in 5.0 seconds = 272.682 FPS | 15:47 |

| chx | hi. after a certain uptime,i have too many open windows to manage. a bunch of them are just unclosed chat windows. so i click on taskbar, click on group together always, then close all the windows, then change back the grouping. how could i do this simpler? ie. how could i close a group of windows? | 15:48 |
| nosrednaekim | BunnyRevolution: what program are you trying to install? | 15:49 |
| chris062689 | Feels like KDE isn't supported as well as GNOME, am I right!? :( | 15:49 |
| stdin | no, you're not | 15:50 |
| chris062689 | Hmm | 15:50 |
| BunnyRevolution | nosrednaekim: gramps 3.x | 15:51 |
| chris062689 | Well I like KDE better than GNOME personally... | 15:51 |
| BunnyRevolution | a deb from gramps-project website | 15:51 |
| chris062689 | Though I suppose it will be hard to use some KDE applications on my EeePC due to it's small screen size. | 15:51 |
| Darkside | any other 'benchmarks' i could test out? | 15:51 |

| Keigo-kun | How hard would it be for me to go from a fresh installed Kubuntu 7.10 to a "desktop free" minimalist ubuntu install? | 18:20 |
| Keigo-kun | Is it even possible? | 18:20 |
| genii | Keigo-kun: Yes. If you uninstall the kubuntu-desktop. You still need ubuntu-minimal for core stuff however | 18:23 |
| Keigo-kun | so I should basically start it up, open synaptic, get ubuntu-minimal and then simply remove ubuntu-desktop? | 18:23 |
| Keigo-kun | *kubuntu-desktop | 18:23 |
| genii | Keigo-kun: That would be the idea, yes | 18:23 |
| Keigo-kun | genii: Heh, sounds simple enough :) I'll give it a try | 18:24 |
| genii | Keigo-kun: However, since it may be difficult to remove an app you are using, recommend to do from console login only, using apt-get or aptitude | 18:24 |
| eldaria | is kubuntu-desktop not a meta package? | 18:25 |
| genii | eldaria: Yes, a collection of KDE apps and KDE bundled for ubuntu | 18:25 |
| eldaria | so removing it will not actually remove the apps? but only the meta-package. | 18:26 |
| coggz | does anyone here own a tablet pc? | 18:27 |
| genii | It removes all the subcomponents | 18:27 |
| eldaria | My experience is that it is pretty difficult to "roll back" after installing a meta-package, becuse of all dependancies are still installed. | 18:27 |
| eldaria | ok, nice. | 18:27 |
| nose | hey guys good morning | 18:28 |

| eldaria | coggz: no but I do own a pen tablet, basically what makes a laptop different from a tablet PC. :-) | 18:28 |
| nose | can you help me?? i like to install java, mozilla and flash player but i dont know how | 18:28 |
| eldaria | nose: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted | 18:29 |
| nose | what do you mean eldaria i am new and theres a lot i dont get sorry for that | 18:29 |
| eldaria | nose: sorry make that sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 18:30 |
| eldaria | oh sorry | 18:30 |
| nose | and how do i do that??? | 18:30 |
| eldaria | nose: you need to go to the menu, then to System and open the adept-manager | 18:31 |
| nose | ok | 18:31 |
| eldaria | nose: then search for the package kubuntu-restricted-extras and install it. | 18:31 |

| nose | then what should i do??? | 18:40 |
| nose | cause nothing else is runing on | 18:40 |
| eldaria | ok, so that is the only applcation you have running, then I guess you probably had a crash earlier of your adept installer, then you need to open a ckonsole. | 18:41 |
| eldaria | *konsole | 18:41 |
| eldaria | you can find it in start -> System | 18:41 |
| genii | nose: In bottom right near clock, do you see maybe an orange icon? | 18:41 |
| nose | yes i did when i was trying to up date wich another problem that i have | 18:42 |
| nose | a wallet that is what i see in that color | 18:42 |
| nose | let me do the system, thing | 18:42 |
| nose | ok eldaria i did open the konsola whats next | 18:43 |
| genii | nose: OK, not the wallet. If you put the mouse on it, it would say maybe "Adept Update Manager" Or so. If one like this, close it then go back to the other instructions | 18:43 |
| nose | the thing is let me explain real wuick | 18:45 |
| nose | i did try to update adept manager, but everytime i try to do so something happens goes wrong and if i restart the pc everything get lost and then i jave to reinstall kubuntu again because nothing works | 18:46 |
| genii | nose: OK, since you restarted during updates, best to follow the !aptfix way and to do manual update from command line then | 18:47 |
| nose | ok can you guide me to do so?? | 18:48 |
| eldaria | !aptfix nose | 18:48 |

| genii | nose: A couple mor steps yet | 19:12 |
| nose | ok | 19:12 |
| genii | *more | 19:12 |
| eldaria | nose: with mozilla I guess you mean firefox? for that there are indeed some more steps. | 19:13 |
| nose | yes | 19:13 |
| nose | thats how every thing started | 19:13 |
| genii | Good thing the flashplugin is fixed ;) | 19:14 |
| eldaria | genii: yes indeed, but I still think there are issues with Flash and konqueror | 19:14 |
| nose | cause when i first install kubuntu i try to install mozilla, but then it was asking me some program to open the application and then i find out that in order to do so i needed to update and from then i have been having problems sice 3 days ago reinstalling over and over cause the errors trying to update | 19:15 |
| eldaria | nose: ouch, yes I have had issues with the adpet updater in the past, so personally I started doing all updates from konsole. :-) | 19:16 |
| nose | nice | 19:16 |
| nose | now i know | 19:16 |
| eldaria | nose: is it done installing for you? | 19:17 |
| nose | ok theres in KONSOLE-TERMINAL a gray screen | 19:17 |
| eldaria | nose, yes it might ask you to agree to some license from Sun, scroll down and select agree, (If you agree) :-) | 19:18 |
| nose | but i cant | 19:18 |
| nose | is freeze | 19:18 |
| finek | hi | 19:18 |
| eldaria | nose: you have to use the arrow keys. | 19:19 |
| finek | i have ati graphic card 9250 how can i install drivers for it? | 19:19 |
| nose | ok thats the license | 19:19 |
| nose | but whats next?? | 19:19 |
| nose | is that it?? | 19:19 |

| ubot3 | Failed. | 19:21 |
| nose | its done | 19:21 |
| nose | whats next | 19:21 |
| finek | i try to find help there https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI but it is only for 9500 and higher | 19:21 |
| finek | what can i do when i have 9250 | 19:21 |
| eldaria | nose: so to istall firefox, you can type: sudo apt-get install firefox | 19:21 |
| genii | finek: The builtin xorg driver for the Radeon series is the best driver for your 9250. You may need to change "ati" to "radeon" in the xorg.conf file, but that is about it | 19:22 |
| nose | ok so this means that they are already installed right?? | 19:22 |
| eldaria | nose: by 'they' you mean java and flash, then yes | 19:22 |
| finek | genii and it is all what i must do? only edit one file? | 19:23 |
| nose | yes | 19:23 |
| eldaria | nose: but to install firefox you need that last line I wrote. | 19:23 |

| eldaria | nose: Yes, and some other things like mp3 support, and some other things. | 19:24 |
| nose | love you love | 19:24 |
| genii | finek: Yes, the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf because as I said there is no additional/extra driver to install which wil work better for the 9250 Radeon than what is already provided | 19:24 |
| nose | now one more thing | 19:24 |
| finek | ok thx | 19:24 |

| bluesman | hello | 21:36 |
| n72poyyo | thnx to all.. great help this one... | 21:36 |
| bluesman | i ve just installed kubuntu 8 but i can't surf websites | 21:36 |
| bluesman | i can use apt or irc | 21:36 |
| bluesman | but cannot resolve hostname in konqueror | 21:36 |
| bluesman | i ve seen an alert before telling to add resolv.conf | 21:37 |
| mefisto__ | JasonWard: check to see if you have a .Xmodmap file in your home dir | 21:37 |
| bluesman | i ve added it as empty | 21:37 |
| bluesman | now i see there are my dns and the dns put by kppp | 21:37 |
| bluesman | but still can surf using konqueror! what's the problem?thanks | 21:38 |
| JasonWard | I don't | 21:38 |
| Kr|ptiX | does any1 kno how to uninstall wine completely cuz when doin apt-get remove wine but when i do the command wine iit says its still installed | 21:38 |
| mefisto__ | JasonWard: "xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmap" will make one with your current kbd map | 21:38 |
| trappist | Kr|ptiX: did you install wine from source at some point? | 21:39 |
| ScorpKing | bluesman: close knetworkmanager | 21:39 |
| JasonWard | mefisto__: so I type exactly that with > ~ and all? | 21:39 |
| mefisto__ | JasonWard: yes | 21:39 |
| Kr|ptiX | i think i tried to install the newer verison once | 21:39 |
| MrBarrett | <--- in austalia has optus usb wireless will it plug and play into kubuntu? | 21:40 |
| mefisto__ | JasonWard: then open that file and look for the capslock line (probably keycode 66) and you can change it to Control_L or Control_R so it will work like another ctrl key | 21:41 |
| trappist | Kr|ptiX: can't do it with apt-get, then. removing /usr/local/bin/wine may help. | 21:41 |
| ScorpKing | bluesman: knetworkmanager has no dialup support so it tries to route traffic through eth0 which is down. close it or configure eth0 to have an ip address manually | 21:41 |
| mefisto__ | JasonWard: or set it to some other key if you want | 21:41 |
| bluesman | ahh | 21:41 |
| bluesman | ScorpKing: i have to close knetworkmanager? | 21:42 |

| linus_ | what is the command line arg for installing new prog remotly | 23:33 |
| linus_ | ? | 23:33 |
| cham_eleon | Does anyone know, how I can sort files on a FAT32 filesystem i.e. an usb stick? | 23:34 |
| linus_ | or can you point me to a good getting started web page | 23:34 |
| Dragnslcr | linus_- you mean apt-get? | 23:34 |
| GerrySly | hey guys, how would I recheck a mounted HDD? I have all these random things popup in the HDD when I restart the computer but when I attempt to remove them it says they don't exist | 23:35 |
| linus_ | thanks but how do i search for apps | 23:35 |
| Dragnslcr | linus_- apt-cache search | 23:35 |
| JasonWard | Hello. what would you say is the most hardcore distribution? | 23:36 |
| Artimus | JasonWard: Loaded question in a biased channel. | 23:36 |
| mimmo | ggggggggggggg | 23:37 |
| Dragnslcr | You mean nonsensical question | 23:37 |
| ubuntu | GerrySly: bad idea to do this, you'll be better off booting from a live CD and checking the disk from there | 23:37 |
| ubuntu | GerrySly: incidentally this is exactly what I'm doing right now | 23:37 |
| Dragnslcr | "hardcore" doesn't have a very precise definition | 23:38 |
| mimmo | ciao | 23:38 |
| === _roconnor is now known as roconnor | ||
| GerrySly | well the question is how do I check the disk? just remount it and check it or is there a command to recheck it? | 23:38 |
| linus_ | apt-cache search so i can browse the web for goodie's using this statement | 23:38 |
| GerrySly | when I load windows in vmware it checks the drive before loading, that is what I wanna do in linux because I can't get rid of this crap on the drive yet it is still showing up when I ls it and view it in Dolphin | 23:39 |
| Dragnslcr | linus_- no, it searches the package list that's available from the repositories | 23:39 |
| linus_ | so i dont have to put in the repositories name? | 23:40 |
| ubuntu | GerrySly: so you want to have the disk checked for errors on every boot? | 23:41 |
| GerrySly | yeah if that's possible | 23:41 |
| linus_ | or is it possible to do an auytomatic update | 23:43 |
| linus_ | ? | 23:43 |
| GerrySly | apt-get update | 23:43 |
| Dragnslcr | linus_- apt-get update will fetch the current package lists from any repositories you have enabled. apt-cache search uses this list that's saved locally | 23:45 |
| ubuntu | GerrySly: beats me :( I know it will do it every 30 mounts and this is configurable, but heck if I can remember where or how | 23:45 |
| linus_ | thanks but i do need to be root before i can get them. This is the error i get when running the updates | 23:47 |
| linus_ | E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied) | 23:47 |
| linus_ | E: Unable to lock the list directory | 23:47 |
| linus__ | oh man what happened therre | 23:48 |
| mefisto__ | GerrySly: "sudo tune2fs -c 1" will change the frequency of fsck checks to 1, ie every boot | 23:48 |
| ubuntu | linus_: this error means that another program was/is trying to updage the repos but is either still running or died ungracefully | 23:49 |
| ubuntu | linus_: if no other program is using it, try deleting /var/lib/apt/lists/lock (sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock) and see if it helps | 23:50 |
| ubuntu | nice, so my HDD has bad sectors after all :( | 23:50 |

| its43 | hey, i was wondering, does anyone here know how to setup a shared internet connection on linux? | 23:56 |
| FrauHansen | ubuntu: every hdd has bad sectors, even when they're factory new | 23:58 |
| lukkka | ciao a tutti | 23:58 |
| FrauHansen | its43: did you try google? have a look at this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html | 23:58 |
| lukkka | notte a tutti | 23:59 |
| ubuntu | FrauHausen: right, that's what CRC is for, but recently I've started seeing very high I/O wait times, plus some other inconsistencies that led me to believe the disk is dying | 23:59 |
