[00:02] <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
[00:03] <kernco> It's says "no candidate version found for libdvdcss2"
[00:04] <TeslaTony_> I think Hardy Heron has some goofy things about it that aren't finished, so those guides *might* not work
[00:05] <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...
[00:06] <kernco> No one else is in #kubuntu+1 *cires*
[00:06] <TeslaTony_> Erm...#ubuntu+1?
[00:06] <gamma9mu> !hardy
[00:06] <ubotu> Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[00:06] <TeslaTony_> Yeah. Listen to the bot
[00:06] <Roey> (something is weird with the Wacom on Kubuntu 8.04)
[00:11] <TeslaTony_> Roey: I've been wanting to get a wacom tablet. For the most part, how are they on Linux?
[00:13] <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
[00:14] <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?
[00:15] <wpk> ep: it should work
[00:15] <ep> thanks
[00:17] <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...
[00:19] <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
[00:22] <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)
[00:23] <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"
[00:27] <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
[00:28]  * TeslaTony_ snerks
[00:28] <TeslaTony_> My complaints can't be taken all THAT seriously if I'm using Linux...
[00:29] <Roey> :)
[00:29] <Roey> I'll bbiab
[00:29] <Roey> rebooting
[00:45] <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
[00:46] <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)
[01:05] <rofl> is there a cmd like "for %a in (*.txt) do unlink %a" in bash ?
[01:05] <Roey> rm *.txt ?
[01:06] <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
[01:07] <Roey> rofl:  for n in *.txt; do unlink "$n"; done
[01:07] <Rageon> i cant find where to scan for new plugins in konqueror?
[01:07] <Roey> Rageon:  Settings->Configure Konqueror->Plugins->[Scan for new plugins]
[01:07] <rofl> because i dont want do delete the existing txt files just the links
[01:08] <Roey> ok
[01:08] <Roey> er
[01:08] <Roey> what do you mean, just the links
[01:08] <Roey> if you delete the only link to that file, you're deleting the file
[01:08] <Rageon> Roey is plugins inside the Behavoiur tab or?
[01:09] <Roey> Rageon:  Plugins is another entry down that left-hand list
[01:09] <kgoetz> rofl: do you have files with symlinks to them and you want to delete the symlinks?
[01:09] <Rageon> its not there for me :s
[01:09] <Rageon> everything but
[01:09] <rofl> no, i have real txt files and some bad links (recursive)
[01:09] <kgoetz> rofl: then use find , tell it to look for symlilnks and -exec rm -vi {} \;
[01:09] <Roey> Rageon:  it should be the second-to-last entry, above "Performance"
[01:09] <kgoetz> ask in #bash for more specific help though
[01:09] <rofl> in reality, it are DLL files , i made wrong symbolic links into the wine folder
[01:10] <Rageon> goes crypto > browser ident > performance for me :s
[01:10] <rofl> but i dont wont to delete the wine dlls
[01:11] <rofl> rofl@rul0r:~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32$ for n in *.dll; unlink $n
[01:11] <rofl> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `unlink'
[01:13] <kgoetz> rofl: ; do unlink
[01:14] <rofl> kgoetz: could u pls type the entire command
[01:15] <rofl> i just get a strange > command prompt when using that for command
[01:15] <kgoetz> rofl: for f in *.dll; do unlink $f; done
[01:15] <kgoetz> rofl: because teh command isnt completed (eg, hasnt said done yet)
[01:16] <rofl> ah... thx :)
[01:16] <kgoetz> :)
[01:16] <kgoetz> just ^C to get rid of the > prompt
[01:16] <kgoetz> afk a while
[01:16] <kgoetz> thoreauputic: hey mate
[01:19] <gamma9mu> !kde4
[01:19] <ubotu> 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
[01:23] <adude> can i format a harddrive using the live cd?
[01:23] <Jucato> sure
[01:23] <Jucato> use QtParted in the CD
[01:23] <adude> ok thanks
[01:25] <adude> when i reinstall kubuntu does it format the harddrive before it installs?
[01:26] <kgoetz> it can as part of the installer
[01:27] <Jucato> adude: only if you tell it to
[01:28] <adude> that might be my problem
[01:28] <adude> i had install the kde4 and had problems with the package manager
[01:29] <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)
[01:30] <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.
[01:31] <DarkriftX> !aptfix
[01:31] <ubotu> If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[01:31] <DarkriftX> sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a
[01:32] <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.
[01:34] <Roey> SteamMachine:  you're trying to watch youtube too? ;)_
[01:34] <SteamMachine> Say what?
[01:35] <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
[01:36] <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] <LimCore> kkathman: right click on desktop and there
[01:36] <Jucato> (actually that was removed in Kubuntu...)
[01:37] <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 :)
[01:38] <Jucato> kkathman: kubuntu uses guidance-power-manager instead
[01:39] <kkathman> ahh good to know - I was on SUSE for a while and they use kpowersave, Jucato
[01:39] <Jucato> <-- Kubuntu     openSUSE ------>
[01:39] <SteamMachine> libx264-57 - anyone actually EVER used this?
[01:39] <kkathman> openSUSe is ok, it has its strengths and weaknesses like every distro I suppose
[01:41] <kkathman> but thats offtopic :)
[01:41]  * Jucato nods
[01:43] <SteamMachine> Also.
[01:43] <SteamMachine> My coffee is cold.
[01:45] <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?
[01:47] <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] <SteamMachine>   libavcodec1d libavutil1d
[01:48] <SteamMachine> Should I force them (some how?)
[01:48] <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?
[01:49] <SteamMachine> 7.10
[01:49] <kkathman> ahh
[01:49] <kkathman> no clue why you'd get those messages
[01:49] <SteamMachine> hrm
[01:50] <len> That reminds me, I also have to reinstall/setup VirtualBox.  :)
[01:52] <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.
[01:53] <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
[01:54] <len> OK,  Too bad there is no kubuntu+1
[01:54] <draik> len: That was to be swap DVDs, not videos
[01:55] <len> I'd look at my VB setup, but it's gone since the reinstall.  I remember cdrom/dvd mounting was a pain though.
[02:02] <SteamMachine> Okay, libfaad-dev - can't be found.
[02:02] <SteamMachine> any fix?
[02:04] <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
[02:05] <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
[02:06] <nonewmsgs> afaik everything seems to be the same, but wallpaper reset and little things.  the only big deal is my email
[02:07] <nonewmsgs> but iirc i had to do my evolution email in gnome because it was always like that in K
[02:09] <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
[02:10] <kkathman> change it
[02:10] <kkathman> you can mount it anywhere
[02:10] <nonewmsgs> so umm how can i get my mail
[02:11] <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
[02:12] <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
[02:14] <nonewmsgs> back
[02:16] <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
[02:17] <kkathman> most I think have like .mbox suffixes
[02:17] <bobleny> The resolution on my laptop is 1280 X 800. When I play games, I need a resolution of 1024 X 768. The problem is, when the resolution is set to 1024 X 768, it streches and blurs the images. Is there a way to center the screen on the screen
[02:17] <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
[02:18] <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] <kkathman> is it still on a drive?
[02:18] <nonewmsgs> yes and i have a backup of that
[02:19] <romulo> hi, what version of kde4 is on hardy mirrors?
[02:19] <kkathman> !hardy
[02:19] <ubotu> Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[02:20] <kkathman> nonewmsgs:  so you are on a new machine that has kubuntu, but your gnome was on a different drive?
[02:20] <nonewmsgs> no it was all on one drive and i copied /home and remounted it on new drive.  everything else is still where it was
[02:20] <megatron> hey, does anyone know where i could possibly find a project i could contribute html/css/javascript or php for free?
[02:21] <megatron> on the net i mean?
[02:21] <sh4rm4> is there an option to create a launcher icon in the taskbar, which does not start a single non-kde app, but unfolds a menu ? i know this option as Launcher, from xubuntu
[02:21] <kkathman> nonewmsgs:  ok.. then you should be able to just drag and drop your mbox files
[02:21] <nonewmsgs> i dont see any mbox files
[02:21] <nonewmsgs> and i dont know how to use any of the searches
[02:21] <kkathman> nonewmsgs: you'll need to enable viewing system files
[02:21] <nonewmsgs> i did that part
[02:22] <kkathman> nonewmsgs:  I forget what directory its in, Its been a while since I used gnome
[02:23] <kkathman> nonewmsgs: http://opensource-notebook.com/2007/03/how-to-move-mail-from-evolution-to-kmail/
[02:27]  * nonewmsgs crosses fingers
[02:29] <nonewmsgs> yay
[02:29] <nonewmsgs> it worked
[02:29] <nonewmsgs> i tried to do that with thunderbird and it wasn't havnin' none of that
[02:29] <nonewmsgs> i was like kmail you know K is my true love and it gave me some sugar
[02:29] <adude> does anybody no where i could find info for installing lunix on my mp3 player?
[02:29] <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
[02:30] <nonewmsgs> is kmail compareable to thunderbird
[02:31] <kkathman> yes
[02:31] <billyd> Was wine  installed with apt-get or adept?
[02:32] <Itaku> when i open a new session from KDE to gnome how do i switch from GNOME to KDE/
[02:32] <Itaku> when i open a new session from KDE to gnome how do i switch from GNOME to KDE?
[02:32] <Dr_willis> you mean you have 2 X sessions going?
[02:32] <Itaku> 1 KDE
[02:32] <Dr_willis> You can use alt-ctrl-F7 and F8
[02:32] <Itaku> one GNONE
[02:32] <Itaku> alt and ctrl
[02:32] <Itaku> brb
[02:32] <Dr_willis> to get from one X session to another
[02:34] <billyd> What is program to configure sound card??
[02:34] <Dr_willis> !alsa
[02:34] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[02:35] <billyd> Tks
[02:43] <blackwaltz> I can't seem to get lm-sensors working :(
[02:43] <Kr|ptiX> billyd: it was installed with apt-get
[02:43] <bobleny> The resolution on my wide screen laptop is 1280 X 800. When I play games, I need a resolution of 1024 X 768. The problem is, when the resolution is set to 1024 X 768, it stretches and blurs the images. Is there a way to center the visible screen on the actual screen so that the picture isn't stretched?
[02:46] <gon> !ntfs
[02:46] <ubotu> 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
[02:54] <blackwaltz> :( looks like I might have to compile a new kernel just to get the sensors working ... I wonder why the coretemp module isn't in the ubuntu kernel?
[02:56] <eddy> hi ... hey i want know how much license of free software are?
[02:57] <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
[02:59] <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
[03:00] <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> :)
[03:02] <nonewmsgs> Dr_willis, good evening friend
[03:02] <Dhraakellian> yeah, give away the software, sell support services
[03:02] <Dr_willis> Well time for me to go to work. Bye all.......
[03:02] <eddy> yes i know but what kind of licence are? for example GPL, GFDL, LGPL, are others?
[03:03] <Jucato> !offtopiv

[03:05] <Matt1728> hey i was wondering if there's a way to change the kmenu icon
[03:05] <Jucato> Matt1728: <apt> Instructions for changing the K menu icon: http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdebase/faq/panel.html#id2551958 . Alternatively, use kbf
[03:06] <Matt1728> thanks
[03:06] <dthacker> make it start button [ducks]
[03:06] <Matt1728> lol
[03:06] <Matt1728> that site doesnt work
[03:07] <Jucato> oh waitt
[03:07] <Jucato> Matt1728: http://docs.kde.org/kde3/en/kdebase/faq/panel.html#id2552401
[03:08] <Matt1728> thanks
[03:08] <Matt1728> it works now
[03:09] <nonewmsgs> kkathman, kmail is working great for me -- thanks
[03:27] <surgy> if i go out and buy an internal tv tuner card, will kubuntu support it?
[03:29] <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.
[03:30] <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.
[03:31] <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
[03:33] <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
[03:34] <surgy> Claybrain145: yeah right whats the chances of that?

[03:35] <eddy> how can i crate another partion after i install kubuntu
[03:36] <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> surgy - I did find a couple sites...
[03:37] <eddy> ummm qparted
[03:37] <Claybrain145> I got an MSI TV @nywhere card.. and found a couple sites to help configure it...
[03:37] <Claybrain145> just doing a google search
[03:37] <Claybrain145> eg:
[03:37] <Claybrain145> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/cant-get-msi-tvanywhere-to-work-492693/
[03:37] <Claybrain145> and http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/lofiversion/index.php/t9880.html
[03:38] <eddy> qparted is k i guest
[03:38] <eddy> so qpartd
[03:39] <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?
[03:40] <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?

[03:42] <Claybrain145> there is also a link in there to the ubuntu forums
[03:43] <Claybrain145> for a related question of configuration
[03:43] <eddy> the qpartedis the same livecd
[03:43] <eddy> ?
[03:44] <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.
[03:45] <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
[03:46] <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.
[03:47] <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.
[03:48] <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
[03:49] <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...
[03:51] <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.
[03:52] <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...
[03:53] <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.

[04:07] <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
[04:09] <kgoetz> it autodetects
[04:10] <ruben> so how can i enable dual monitor support then?
[04:11] <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?
[04:12] <ruben> 804
[04:12] <kgoetz> asked in #ubuntu+1?
[04:13] <ruben> no, just kubuntu-kde4 but no one is answering

[04:27] <Helios> Hello
[04:27] <Helios> Anyone who uses ubuntu as well as kubuntu here?
[04:29] <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,... :)
[04:30] <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
[04:31] <Helios> well i use kubuntu...
[04:31] <kkathman> kubuntu = kde + ubuntu, basically
[04:32] <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
[04:33] <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
[04:34] <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...
[04:35] <kkathman> it can go either way, but upgrading is harder if you have both
[04:36] <Helios> i think i gonna use it in alternate way.. like once ubuntu and the release after kubuntu...
[04:37] <Helios> how can i uninstall a whole package?
[04:38] <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.
[04:39] <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
[04:40] <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?
[04:41] <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
[04:42] <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 :)
[04:43] <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
[04:44] <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> ??
[04:45] <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
[04:46] <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
[04:47] <kkathman> again - Im done - cuz its offtopic
[04:47] <Daisuke_Ido> and i'm in -offtopic :)
[04:48] <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
[04:49] <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
[04:50] <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...

[06:02] <ubuntu_> jussi01: cool thanks.  but these are intergrated cards, i neeed an external type unit though

[06:31] <jussi01> MrBarrett: whats the issue?
[06:32] <MrBarrett> so im up to step 4 made a new partition of 9gb and dont know if im on the right track
[06:33] <MrBarrett> in now scanning
[06:33] <MrBarrett> dts
[06:33] <MrBarrett> ahh now i see the free space, what now
[06:33] <MrBarrett> ?
[06:34] <jussi01> argh, got to go to work, hopefully someone else is around.
[06:34] <MrBarrett> i am doing this with a live cd
[06:35] <MrBarrett> i want to keep a duel win xp system
[06:36] <eddieftw> MrBarrett: okay i'll help you at
[06:36] <MrBarrett> cheers
[06:36] <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
[06:37] <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
[06:38] <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
[06:39] <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
[06:40] <MrBarrett> free space says 7221mb?
[06:41] <eddieftw> hmm that's doesn't sound right..
[06:41] <MrBarrett> next..... ne root file system defined.... correct in partitioning menu?
[06:42] <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
[06:44] <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
[06:45] <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
[06:46] <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> sorry thanks
[06:46] <erik__> Hey.. I have a problem when stasrting kde4.. the screen goes black.. this does not happen with kde3.. kde4 used to work earlier but suddently stopped working after an update I think
[06:47] <jussi01> you need to set the partition that you want as root as /
[06:47] <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.
[06:48] <MrBarrett> Mount point
[06:48] <MrBarrett> ?
[06:48] <jussi01> yes
[06:49] <jussi01> !tab
[06:49] <ubotu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[06:49] <MrBarrett> in create partition?
[06:50] <MrBarrett> what do i call it "/"?
[06:50] <MrBarrett> anything else?
[06:50] <jussi01> yes, the mount point should be just /

[06:52] <MrBarrett> sorry im am amature
[06:53] <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
[06:54] <MrBarrett> what size is best for me?
[06:54] <jussi01> MrBarrett: double your ram size and make it that much
[06:54] <MrBarrett> tar
[07:10] <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
[07:11] <MrBarrett> just the fee and the swap?
[07:11] <MrBarrett> *free
[07:11] <MrBarrett> ?
[07:12] <eddieftw> yea that should do it...
[07:12] <MrBarrett> leave window alone?
[07:12] <jussi01> yes!
[07:12] <eddieftw> yea leave it alone
[07:12] <jussi01> leave windows alone or its gone.
[07:12] <MrBarrett> of here goes nothing!
[07:12] <jussi01> make sure it isnt being formatted
[07:13] <MrBarrett> 8ok
[07:13] <MrBarrett> *ok
[07:15] <eddieftw> !aptlock | eddieftw
[07:22] <MrBarrett> at the ready to install window it says warning this will destroy all data on any partition you have removed as well as on the partitions that are going to be formatted and........ partition #2 if IDE1 master (hda) as swap... partition #3 if IDE1 master (hda) as ext3... should i install???
[07:22] <MrBarrett> i want to keep windows xp

[07:25] <MrBarrett> partition #3 if IDE1 master (hda) as ext3... the "ext3" is correct?
[07:26] <jussi01> yes
[07:26] <wesley_> how can i start kde3 systemsetting in kde4?
[07:26] <jussi01> ext3 is the filesystem kubuntu uses

[08:17] <Darkrift2> is kbfx the only way to change your "K" button?
[08:18] <snake_> Darkrift2: from what i know yes :)
[08:19] <Darkrift2> i wonder if it takes lots of resources
[08:19] <Darkrift2> already have compiz running :S
[08:19] <Darkrift2> i dislike the boring blue button :(
[08:19] <snake_> Darkrift2: it depends on what pc you have. i mean the parameters
[08:20] <Darkrift2> ill try it
[08:20] <MrBarrett> <--- just installed kubuntu and when i try to access my external USE hard drive it says... hal storage removable mount all options refused uid 1000.... please help
[08:20] <MrBarrett> *usb drive
[08:21] <snake_> MrBarrett: from what i see here its difficult to have a response because no one talks
[08:21] <snake_> try #ubuntu
[08:29] <blackwaltz> snake_: time of day thing
[08:31] <blackwaltz> MrBarrett: rather than trying to let it automount, maybe it'll work if you use the ntfs-3g command to mount it
[08:31] <snake_> blackwaltz: he is talking in ubuntu lol
[08:31] <blackwaltz> snake_: I wouldn't know that because I'm not?
[08:32] <xp-killer> ubuntuuuu
[08:32] <jussi01> Its a bit quiet this time of morning, will get busier as the day goes on.
[08:33] <chx> hi. i would like to share my HSDPA connection over wifi
[08:33] <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] <chx> I tried googling without much success
[08:33] <chx> Europe night? It's 9:33AM right here :)
[08:33] <drif> middle of the night? :D
[08:33] <blackwaltz> 3:33am Here ....
[08:33] <drif> 10:33am
[08:34] <chx> also, since when serious hackers obey such silly things like day and night? sleep is overrated :P
[08:36] <drif> chx: pity, mercy.. probably. sleep, nope.
[08:38] <troofy> is it a good idea to use a server for desktop use also. (linux)?
[08:38] <drif> troofy: depends on usage
[08:39] <troofy> normal desktop use. chating. movies. downloads.   server , webserver, ircd
[08:40] <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
[08:41] <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
[08:42] <Jucato> troofy: it's less about the machine and probably more about your connection
[08:42] <troofy> hm
[08:43] <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
[08:44] <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
[08:45] <troofy> hm
[08:45] <dwidmann> You'll probably want hte -generic kernel instead of the -server kernel though
[08:48] <troofy> ic
[08:51] <xp-killer> hello anyone?

[10:01] <Jucato> dunno
[10:01] <xp-killer> Jucato: how do i look in linux to see?
[10:02] <Jucato> maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I don't know your machine
[10:02] <Jucato> "cat /proc/cpuinfo" maybe?
[10:02] <xp-killer> lol maybe
[10:02] <xp-killer> i dont trust maybes
[10:04] <xp-killer> Jucato: how long was the 8.04 out?
[10:04] <Jucato> it's not even out yet
[10:04] <eddieftw> cat /proc/cpuinfo is correct
[10:04] <xp-killer> Jucato: i just came back to linux after months and i saw 8.04
[10:04] <Jucato> if "out" == "stable release
[10:04] <xp-killer> beta
[10:04] <xp-killer> its not stable?
[10:05] <xp-killer> Jucato: when will we be able to upgrade to it?

[11:52] <napoleao> thanks Jucato
[11:53] <napoleao> was not that, but it did help finding, in kde4 I have to go to task manager settings, and choose show only....

[12:00] <andy_> hey all
[12:02] <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?
[12:03] <Jucato> shockhead: submitted where and how? and yes, it takes time for mirrors to sync
[12:04] <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
[12:05] <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
[12:06] <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...
[12:07] <Jucato> shockhead: it actually depends. it will take longer for a fix to go down to gutsy than it is for hardy
[12:08] <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
[12:09] <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]  * Jucato goes off to dinner
[12:09] <shockhead> Jucato: thanks for the info, enjoy your food
[12:10] <andy_> hey all :D
[12:13] <dcorbin_work> openoffice.org says it is "Candidate version 2.2.0-1ubuntu5"  yet openoffice.org-core{02,10} both refer to 2.3
[12:14] <dcorbin_work> Can anybody explain to me how to fix this without doing a complete version upgrade of my system?
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> hey all
[12:16] <Dr_willis> hmmm...
[12:18] <Plantain> Hey, I'm playing with the beta, and for some reason it's picking up a screen closed message on login, what could be up?
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> Plantain: not seen that one. does restarting x help any?
[12:19] <Plantain> ActionParsnip: No, it does it on every login. It works fine after I resume, but it's annoying
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> Plantain: is it before or after you logon?
[12:22] <Plantain> after I've logged in, I can see my desktop etc

[12:40] <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
[12:41] <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
[12:42] <cuznt> i know
[12:42] <cuznt> but the mac was the 1st do drop
[12:42] <cuznt> thats even better
[12:43] <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.
[12:44] <Tidus> it's not a fair competition unless they're all running the exact same hardware
[12:45] <Tidus> different drivers might have different security holes
[12:45] <kgoetz> judging by the first bit i dont think the competition holds anyway
[12:46] <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
[12:47] <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
[12:48] <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
[12:50] <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 :)
[12:52] <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> :)
[12:53] <kgoetz> Dr_willis: sure :)
[12:54]  * Dr_willis goes backing to reading imporntant news like the 'Second Life Sex Toys Piracy Law suits;
[12:54] <Dr_willis> :)
[12:56]  * kgoetz notices Dr_willis only visits teh best news sources
[12:57] <Dr_willis> I just wonder who actually DOES spend time in second life..  Its like one huge spam fest it seems.. :)

[13:04] <rynol> Duxbury Connexant 56k modem
[13:04] <rynol> Hi sorry for that
[13:04] <brmassa> guys, why opera is not on Hardy repositories?
[13:05] <rynol> I need help to install a Duxbury Connexant 56k modem on Kubuntu Hardy beta version
[13:05] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. I thoiught it was
[13:05] <Dr_willis> guess its not.
[13:05] <Dr_willis> It may be getting added to that one special repo. But  i forget what it was called.
[13:06] <Dr_willis> one that had vmware, and other businesses  programs and related packages
[13:08] <Dr_willis> http://deb.opera.com/ - has its own repo it seems for it
[13:09] <kgoetz> brmassa: because they dont allow redistribution
[13:10] <brmassa> kgoetz: hmmm i didnt know that.
[13:11] <brmassa> Dr_willis and kgoetz: thanks
[13:13] <peter__> is it possible to type this character ° on a us keyboard??
[13:13] <peter__> and if yes, which key is it?
[13:14] <Dr_willis> theres those fancy-character-tools that can let ya cut/paste/do it.. buti never use them
[13:14] <peter__> so is there no key for it? because in german keyboard layout it is
[13:14] <Dr_willis> 0_°    <--- Popeye
[13:15] <Dr_willis> I dont see any on my keyboard. :)
[13:15] <Dr_willis> and im in the usa
[13:17] <prince_jammys> w4ts0N1-
[13:17] <prince_jammys> oops
[13:17] <prince_jammys> w4ts0N1-
[13:17] <prince_jammys> crap
[13:17] <Dr_willis> oopsoops
[13:17] <Dr_willis> :)
[13:28] <dcorbin_work> peter__: It's not ON the keyboard, but you can generally type any character if you know it's "code" by using ALT + num-keypad (for the code)
[13:30] <peter__> thx dcorbin_work
[13:30] <Dr_willis> I thought that was desktop-dependant
[13:30] <Dr_willis> dd
[13:30] <Dr_willis> it dont seem to do diddle here. :)
[13:31] <Jucato> dcorbin_work: hm.. that only works in Windows afaik
[13:31] <Jucato> peter__: try googling about "compose key"
[13:32] <dcorbin_work> Jucato: I think it's actually a function of the keyboard, but I don't know about Unicode support.
[13:32] <arkygeek> hi
[13:33] <Jucato> dcorbin_work: the Alt+keypad numbers isn't a function of the keyboard but of the system
[13:33] <Jucato> and by system, I mean the Window System (mostly)
[13:35] <arkygeek> hi all.   i seem to be unable to print to secure printers using iprint since i did the move to hardy.   anyone know anything about this?
[13:37] <shockhead> hi arkygeek.... i keep getting told this, so i'd best pass it on. hardy questions in #ubuntu+1 :-)
[13:38] <arkygeek> shockhead: already there, and asked.... thought i would ask here too
[13:38] <katad0t1s> Hi all. I want to try kde 4 and I was wondering if the 7.10 remix offers the same updated stuff as 8.04 beta does. If not what are the diffs?
[13:39] <dthacker> !kde4
[13:39] <ubotu> 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
[13:39] <drarem> how do I keep the tremulous server from running every time I reboot?
[13:39] <drarem> I tried Services, don't see it in there
[13:44]  * Tw|sT peeks in
[13:45] <dthacker> drarem: look for a start script in /etc/init.d.
[13:48] <drarem> i see a tremulous-server.sh in there
[13:48] <drarem> either I can edit that or find where it runs from
[13:49] <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
[13:50] <SlimeyPete> yeah... sudo update-rc.d scriptname remove    I think
[13:50] <SlimeyPete> that should prevent it running.
[13:50] <drarem> thanks :)

[14:10] <JediMaster> Hey guys, can someone do me a quick favour and post a gutsy or heron (heron pref) sources.list for kubuntu on pastebin for me please?
[14:17]  * JediMaster pokes everyone
[14:17] <JediMaster> Any chance someone could paste their /etc/apt/sources.list into http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org please?
[14:18] <neville> Depends
[14:18] <neville> What's in it for us? :P
[14:18] <JediMaster> a hug?

[14:21] <PolitikerNEU> Hi, does anybody know why I cannot use intel wlan proprietary driver in kubuntu 8.04?
[14:22] <Jucato> PolitikerNEU: #ubuntu+1 for Hardy questions. thanks
[14:24] <JediMaster> Jucato: thanks
[14:31] <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
[14:32] <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
[14:33] <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...
[14:34] <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?
[14:35] <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?
[14:36] <jhutchins_wk> lingard: scp user@other.com:/path/to/file /path/to/save file
[14:37] <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
[14:38] <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
[14:39] <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.
[14:40] <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
[14:41] <clau30_> lingard: as easy as starting a program (daemon) :)
[14:42] <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
[14:43] <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!  :)
[14:44] <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?
[14:45] <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
[14:46] <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.
[14:47] <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
[14:48] <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
[14:49] <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
[14:50] <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.
[14:51] <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] <clau30_> lingard: on kde, try the little file server applet for kicker
[14:51] <lingard> i have a domain with an ftp server but i want something seperate
[14:52] <toti_> Having problems with my Laptop. It's doing crap like this: http://totix800.to.funpic.de/fehler.png  It's seems to me like their is no prob with kubuntu but does this look like a damaged graficboard to you?
[14:52] <jhutchins_wk> toti_: Misconfigured X server - wrong driver or more likely wrong specs for it.
[14:53] <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.
[14:54] <toti_> It's running on native resolution
[14:56] <toti_> And it's running on it's native frequency to
[15:04] <jhutchins_wk> toti_: Well, in that case, especially if the problem is exactly the same in Windows, it could be hardware.
[15:09] <RsjH> Hi all
[15:10] <neville> HELLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[15:10] <neville> RsjH
[15:10] <neville> ;/
[15:10] <Jucato> neville: hm...
[15:10] <jpatrick> curious
[15:10] <neville> Doubtfire-esque, no? :P
[15:12] <RsjH> Can you help with external modem (Duxburry) driver installation non Usbfor faxing purposes
[15:16] <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?
[15:19] <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
[15:20] <Darkside> bah, i just rebooted X and the problem has disappeared
[15:21] <Darkside> i'll let you know if it comes back
[15:22] <Darkside> jhutchins_wk, would you reccomend the fglrx drivers?
[15:22] <Darkside> recommend *
[15:24] <Exilant> well, they work, have 3d-accel, but a very own list of problems
[15:25] <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
[15:26] <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
[15:27] <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
[15:28] <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
[15:29] <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
[15:30] <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
[15:31] <trappist> nm, found it :)
[15:31] <Exilant> i dunno, there were big problems
[15:31] <Darkside> =/
[15:31] <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
[15:32] <Darkside> heh
[15:32] <Darkside> i haven't used hibernation on my laptop yet, kubuntu boots up so fast
[15:34] <ubuntu> i have a question regarding usb drive mounting in kubuntu
[15:34] <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
[15:37] <Exilant> darkside: works fine
[15:37] <Darkside> k
[15:37] <Darkside> im gonna have a go with them
[15:39] <Darkside> ok restart time...
[15:39] <Darkside> i'll let you know if things work
[15:42] <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?
[15:44] <Darkside> ok yeah its working
[15:44] <Darkside> wow
[15:46] <clau30_> Darkside: glxgears ;)
[15:46] <Darkside> 12194 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2438.617 FPS
[15:46] <Darkside> is that good or bad?
[15:46] <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?
[15:47] <nosrednaekim> Darkside: is that full screen?
[15:47] <Darkside> no
[15:47] <Darkside> ill go full screen
[15:47] <nosrednaekim> Darkside: full screen is the only decnet way to test ;)
[15:47] <clau30_> Darkside: that's very good :)
[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
[15:48] <nosrednaekim> 0.o
[15:48] <nosrednaekim> BunnyRevolution: it could be dangerous and more than likely it'll break something
[15:48] <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?
[15:49] <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!? :(
[15:50] <stdin> no, you're not
[15:50] <chris062689> Hmm
[15:51] <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] <aet061484> good day to all
[15:51] <stdin> chris062689: the eeePC uses KDE anyway
[15:52] <mehrabi> hello,i have problem in the kppp!since of sellected connet,kppp showing error:''no dial tone''
[15:52] <chris062689> true...
[15:52] <chris062689> ok ootiing into a live cd :D
[15:52] <aet061484> i have some problem about my canon s100sp lately
[15:52] <chris062689> Be back in a while :D
[15:52] <nosrednaekim> Darkside: play a game.... if it works great, then your graphics card is good. if it doesn't, then you can't do much about that :)
[15:52] <aet061484> can anyone please help
[15:52] <Darkside> what game
[15:52] <Darkside> :P
[15:52] <Darkside> lmao

[16:37] <lingard> i've just done a clean install and i have a hauppauge tv card so getting that set up's on my todo list
[16:38] <lingard> i've had it all working before, it worked fine

[16:40] <surgy> anyone know the command to reconfigure xorg? i forgot it
[16:41] <lingard> crazy_bus: how did you install lirc?

[16:41] <Jucato> surgy: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[16:41] <BunnyRevolution> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

[16:46] <sybren> hi folks! I might have been a little too enthousiastic in the cleanup of my Kubuntu 8.04, and I can't seem to find the ipw3945 kernel module. Which package is it stored in?
[16:46] <Paulderpauli> hi
[16:47] <Jucato> sybren: linux-ubuntu-modules for the version of the kernel you are using/booting into
[16:48] <crazy_bus> lirc is now setup but IRKICK isn't making kaffeine do what I tell it to.  The buttons still only do what they did before I changed them.  Anything I should do to make them work?
[16:50] <sybren> Jucato: thanks! I didn't find it because it was renamed from ipw3945 to iwl3945
[16:56] <lingard> see file:///usr/share/doc/lirc/html/help.html#new_remote
[16:58] <crazy_bus> thanks lingard will try that
[17:03] <crazy_bus> lingard: that recommends a number of commands that do not work for me such as mode2. which says mode2: error opening /dev/lirc  mode2: No such file or directory
[17:19] <randomoutburst> i have 8.04 and when i go to install amarok from synaptic for some reason it wont download all the libs anyone know why?, i use gnome should i add a certain repository?
[17:19] <Daisuke_Ido> you should ask in #ubuntu+1
[17:20] <Daisuke_Ido> that's the channel for hardy support.
[17:20] <randomoutburst> k thanks
[17:21] <crazy_bus> bye everyone.  Most sleep and thanks for all the help

[17:24] <lingard> anyone know where the default apache server folder goes?
[17:25] <lingard> can't find the little bugger anywhere
[17:25] <starenka_> not working
[17:25] <starenka_> not working
[17:26] <starenka_> lingard: locate apache?
[17:26] <starenka_> locate httpd.conf ?
[17:26] <lingard> found it
[17:26] <lingard> would that be the default page when the ip is entered?
[17:27] <jpatrick> lingard: default is /var/www
[17:27] <lingard> thank you very much :)
[17:27] <lingard> do i have to turn something on to be able to access it from outside my network?
[17:28] <jpatrick> lingard: you'll have to forward port 80 on your router to your computer's IP
[17:29] <starenka_> or 443
[17:31] <lingard> woo
[17:31] <lingard> sorted, thanks :D
[17:31] <lingard> is there any way to access it from a s60 phone?
[17:32] <metbsd_> does firewall must be install at router?
[17:33] <metbsd_> if i have a router without firewall, now i wanna add firewall, where should i add it
[17:42] <jinzougen> I'm trying to set up kubuntu to let me input korean hangul, but in the regional settings, it says "command not found " when I click the "install new language" buttn.
[17:44] <vlt> metbsd_: Firewalling should happen _before_ routing: [Internet] <--> [Firewall] <--> [Router] <--> [Network to protect]. FW/Router can reside on one machine.
[17:49] <BunnyRevolution> metbsd_: u r bsd?

[18:04] <nosrednaekim> !install

[18:06] <TimS> How can I kill a proccess from the command line?
[18:06] <eldaria> kill -9 processid
[18:06] <trappist> kill -9 is generally a bad idea, good for a last resort
[18:06] <eldaria> and to see what processes are running 'ps -ef'
[18:06] <trappist> kill should suffice
[18:07] <TimS> Thankyou
[18:07] <eldaria> oh, hmm I always use -9 since only a kill many times does nothing if pushing the close button did not do anything.
[18:09] <markit> eldaria: ctrl + alt + esc --> special mouse cursor -> click on the frozen window
[18:09] <BunnyRevolution> fi your in a kubuntu, use ctl-alt-esc and click
[18:09] <markit> this should work also
[18:09] <BunnyRevolution> er, i'm slow today
[18:09] <weedar> Is there a simple way to setup a VPN-server on a (k)ubuntu server?
[18:09] <markit> BunnyRevolution: :)
[18:10] <eldaria> nice one, did not know about that one. :-)
[18:10] <markit> I'm a bit confused... is 4.0.3 going to be released in some day's time, or just they jump to 4.1 in some mont's time?
[18:11] <nosrednaekim> 4.0.3 is coming in two days
[18:11] <markit> oh, ok, was confused by http://polishlinux.org/kde/kde-4-rev-790000-better-stability-and-performance/
[18:11] <markit> will 4.0.3 be the rev. 790000 cited in that article, or is a different branch?
[18:12] <emilsedgh> differrent branch
[18:13] <nosrednaekim> 790000 is the 4.1 branch
[18:14] <emilsedgh> markit: http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/4.0/
[18:14] <emilsedgh> http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE
[18:15] <emilsedgh> trunk is the 4.1 branch.when it got released, 4.1 will go into branches/ and trunk will be be dedicated to 4.2 development
[18:19] <markit> oh, thanks
[18:20] <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?
[18:23] <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
[18:24] <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
[18:25] <eldaria> is kubuntu-desktop not a meta package?
[18:25] <genii> eldaria: Yes, a collection of KDE apps and KDE bundled for ubuntu
[18:26] <eldaria> so removing it will not actually remove the apps? but only the meta-package.
[18:27] <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.
[18:28] <nose> hey guys good morning
[18:28] <nose> i am new on kubuntu
[18:28] <genii> eldaria: With --purge (in apt-get) it will also remove conf files, but not ones specifically in user's /home directories, just in system areas
[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
[18:29] <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
[18:30] <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???
[18:31] <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> can i do it while asking you??
[18:31] <eldaria> sure
[18:32]  * genii makes another pot of coffee
[18:32] <nose> > i try to but then the next appears:
[18:32] <nose> > Otro proceso está utilizando la base de datos del sistema de empaquetado (probablemente otra aplicación Adept o apt-get o aptitude).
[18:32] <nose> > ¿Desea resolver este problema? Entre en modo de solo lectura y cancele parar salir y resolver este asunto usted mismo.
[18:33] <eldaria> hmmm my spanish is not good, (If that is what it is)
[18:33] <nose> ok
[18:33] <nose> i´l trnaslate for you
[18:34] <eldaria> also when do you get this message?
[18:35] <nose> it says in a few words that theres another process is using the data base of the system (probably another aplication of adept manager or apt-get aptitude) do i wish to solve this?? etc etc
[18:36] <eldaria> ok so you probably have another application running that is used for installing programs
[18:36] <nosrednaekim> !aptfix
[18:36] <ubotwo> If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[18:36] <eldaria> before trying that perhaps you have the add/remove programs running?
[18:37] <nose> how do i do that??
[18:37] <nose> can you guide me please??
[18:38] <eldaria> Do you have any other programs running besides Konversation?
[18:38] <nose> mm yahoo messenger
[18:38] <nose> wich i happily find out that i can use it here
[18:38] <nose> that would be the problem??
[18:39] <nose> i m using it trough kopete of course
[18:39] <eldaria> ohy ok.
[18:39] <nose> should i quit that??
[18:39] <genii> No
[18:40] <eldaria> no
[18:40] <nose> then what should i do???
[18:40] <nose> cause nothing else is runing on
[18:41] <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?
[18:42] <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
[18:43] <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
[18:45] <nose> the thing is let me explain real wuick
[18:46] <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
[18:47] <genii> nose: OK, since you restarted during updates, best to follow the !aptfix way and to do manual update from command line then
[18:48] <nose> ok can you guide me to do so??
[18:48] <eldaria> !aptfix nose
[18:48] <ubotwo> How should I know?
[18:48] <eldaria> !aptfix
[18:48] <ubotwo> If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[18:49] <nose> first what do i do whit the konsole?? is stills open
[18:49] <eldaria> yes
[18:49] <eldaria> konsole=terminal
[18:49] <nose> the one you told me to open
[18:50] <eldaria> yes
[18:50] <nose> yes
[18:50] <nose> TERMINAL-kONSOLE
[18:50] <nose> WHAT DO I DO WHIT IT
[18:50] <nose> ??
[18:50] <nose> sorry for that
[18:51] <TimS> Is there a program that I can track my network usage and create a graph? I am using a wireless interface with a windows dirver if it makes any difference

[18:53] <hydrogen> you are pretty annoying
[18:53] <eldaria> nose: if you have you console open, you need to type sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a
[18:54] <nose> ok i wil copy and paste where should i start copying?
[18:55] <eldaria> start at 'sudo'
[18:55] <nose> ok

[19:15] <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
[19:16] <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
[19:17] <eldaria> nose: is it done installing for you?
[19:17] <nose> ok theres in KONSOLE-TERMINAL a gray screen
[19:18] <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
[19:19] <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??
[19:20] <nose> sorry
[19:20] <nose> jejej
[19:20] <nose> i found waht to do
[19:20] <jpatrick> !enter
[19:20] <ubot3> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[19:21] <grul> does anyone know how to move a process to a screen? if i for example started irssi outside of a screen and don't want to terminate and restart it, but move it to the screen
[19:21] <Pici> !test
[19:21] <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
[19:22] <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
[19:23] <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.

[19:24] <nose> finalley
[19:24] <nose> love you
[19:24] <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
[19:25] <nose> while i was finding things in kubuntu i discover that it has yahoo messenger installed will i be able to install the newest version of that or itĺl stay that way???

[19:40] <PhilRod> Kr|ptiX: I think that basically means the version of python you have installed doesn't match the version that cedega wants
[19:41] <PhilRod> you might need to install another version of python
[19:43] <eldaria> ok, i'm back, just had to reboot after an update, although it did not fix my issue. ;-) did nose get his icons fixed?

[20:23] <luis__> ok
[20:24] <luis__> but
[20:24] <eldaria> if you just bought it perhaps it is still possible to bring it back? If you live in EU usually you can within 1-2 weeks.
[20:24] <luis__> the thing is that i am using kopete but now if i want to check my hotmail messenger i cant cause i did set up to start automatically with yahoo how do i get back?
[20:25] <luis__> jaaaaaaaaaaa

[20:29] <luis__> can you guide me?
[20:29] <eldaria> in system settings
[20:29] <luis__> ok
[20:29] <ScorpKing> luis__: in konsole type - sudo adduser <her_name>
[20:30] <eldaria> or in the konsole yes. :-)
[20:30] <luis__> wich one will be the best way??
[20:30] <luis__> konsole or settings or is the same?
[20:30] <genii> Someone used a convoluted way to get this printer to work: http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=627471
[20:30] <luis__> oo
[20:30] <luis__> lets see it
[20:32] <luis__> ok lets go to the konsole

[20:35] <ScorpKing> luis__: type in konsole - sudo adduser hername
[20:36] <luis__> is asking for a password
[20:36] <luis__> my password or a new password??
[20:37] <genii> luis__: Their new password
[20:37] <luis__> she will be able to change thAT LATER RIGHT?
[20:37] <genii> Yes. You can almost always change your own password.
[20:38] <genii> (unless it's purposely set otherwise)
[20:38] <luis__> is asking for room number???
[20:38] <luis__> what does that means??
[20:39] <genii> luis__: room number dept number etc you can leave blank
[20:39] <luis__> ok

[20:45] <TimS> It doesn't work for me
[20:45] <TimS> When I start it, the proccess starts, but no gui appears
[20:45] <TimS> Any others?
[20:45] <ScorpKing> !info krec
[20:46] <ubot3> krec: sound recorder utility for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 374 kB, installed size 1164 kB
[20:46] <TimS> Thank you =]
[20:46] <ScorpKing> you're welcome
[20:47] <ScorpKing> TimS: there is also krecord. it might be the same thing tho
[20:47] <TimS> I've marked them both for install, so Ill tell you in a sec :P
[20:47] <ScorpKing> righto.. :)
[20:50] <TimS> Audacity is so not cool.
[20:50] <TimS> I opened it again and it froze my network connections, froze amarok, froze kicker.
[20:51] <ScorpKing> TimS: i'm also having problems with it on kubuntu. it might be the sound settings. maybe it doesn't use the default kde stuff
[20:53] <TimS> ScorpKing: Probably not, these multi-platform applications rarely do :P
[20:54] <ScorpKing> TimS: i don't think it uses artsd
[20:54] <TimS> It doesn't as far as I am aware.
[20:56] <ScorpKing> hmm.. then it might work if you install the sound daemon the gnome use
[20:56] <ScorpKing> gstreamer i think
[20:56] <TimS> How do I restart aRts
[20:57] <Daisuke_Ido> sudo killall artsd
[20:57] <Daisuke_Ido> should restart itself
[20:58] <ScorpKing> not sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart?
[20:58] <Daisuke_Ido> that would probably work as well
[20:59] <TimS> I am trying to figure out why my mic isn't working for recording
[20:59] <TimS> I can hear it through the speakers now
[21:08] <azzco> TimS:  any progress?
[21:08] <TimS> No :(
[21:08] <TimS> Apart from the fact Kopete no longer thinks my MSN password works.

[21:40] <MrBarrett> <--- in austalia has optus usb wireless will it plug and play into kubuntu?
[21:41] <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
[21:42] <bluesman> ScorpKing: i have to close knetworkmanager?
[21:42] <Kr|ptiX> k thanks traappist
[21:42] <ScorpKing> bluesman: yes
[21:42] <bluesman> ok thanks
[21:42] <bluesman> it works
[21:42] <bluesman> i coudn't understand!
[21:43] <bluesman> links2 went too :)
[21:43] <ScorpKing> :) i though they fixed that by now
[21:43] <MrBarrett> whats the difference between the kubuntu 700mb version and the 4gb version?
[21:44] <JasonWard> mefisto__: ok done. but how do I get it to apply the changes?
[21:44] <MrBarrett> !version
[21:44] <ubot3> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell
[21:44] <MrBarrett> 7.1
[21:45] <trappist> MrBarrett: the 4gb version is for dvds, and has a lot more packages.
[21:45] <mefisto__> JasonWard: "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" will load your .Xmodmap file
[21:45] <MrBarrett> <--- thinks he'll get the DVD

[21:48] <wesley> how can i start kde3 battery manager ?
[21:48] <MrBarrett> ok ekelund?
[21:48] <mefisto__> JasonWard: I just noticed xmodmap can clear the key altogether, so "xmodmap -e clear Caps_Lock" should disable it completely rather than set it to ctrl
[21:49] <ekelund> MrBarrett: thanks, but Im not in kde for the moment. Is there a graphical application named mount? (I guess its a wrapper against mount in my shell)
[21:49] <ekelund> I told my friend, but Im not at his place so I can't see the desktop
[21:49] <MrBarrett> <-- is out of his depth

[22:12] <squarebottle> Heya. I've installed the Kubuntu Hardy beta, and I'm having issues with UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall). I wanted to see if it was interfering with some Firefox extensions and my ability to use the Jabber protocol, so I disabled it and restarted. The internet didn't work at all until I enabled UFW again, at which point it immediately worked as well as before. I disabled it again and restarted, and indeed, the connection wouldn't wor
[22:13] <squarebottle> Also, it appears that in spite of what the status says, the Firewall is not actually disabled until you restart.
[22:13] <squarebottle> Has anybody else run into this?
[22:14] <psyco> Has anyone installed frostwire on kubuntu?

[22:17] <ScorpKing> mefisto__: righto.. ty
[22:18] <psyco> The problem is, double clikc debs doesnt work

[22:18] <Ark1> hi, im in a lot of trouble here, a jerk friend of mine ran rm -rf / and i really need some of the stuff that was on that comp, is there ne way to get it back?
[22:19] <ScorpKing> mefisto__: and yyyy at the end?
[22:19] <mefisto__> ScorpKing: year is optional, so just leave it off
[22:19] <stdin> Ark1: not really, at least not on ext2/3. there is software out there but non that are free (that I've ever found)
[22:20] <ScorpKing> mefisto__: ok
[22:20] <Ark1> stdin: can u point me to a place that sells that?
[22:20] <mefisto__> ScorpKing: I think that's right, I could be wrong
[22:20] <jussio1> Ark1: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html
[22:20] <ScorpKing> mefisto__: np. i'll get it working just now
[22:21] <Riff> I have kubuntu and everytime i run the connection assistant it goes off to update newtwork settings and then locks up. i can't get it do do anything without courpting the install
[22:22] <dorkface> what is the command to make it so that not even "sudo rm" will delete a file?
[22:22] <stdin> Ark1: I haven't searched in months, time for a google search. but the important thing is to unmount the FS immediately
[22:22] <stdin> Ark1: else you run the risk of the blocks being overwritten
[22:22] <stdin> Ark1: so run from a LiveCD
[22:23] <Ark1> all i have done is tried various commands in "busybox", but i got nowhere
[22:23] <mefisto__> dorkface: you mean you want a particular file that cannot be deleted?
[22:25] <ScorpKing> mefisto__: date 033123222008 fixed it

[22:25] <dorkface> mefisto__: yeah, I heard that you could make it so a file will not be deleted, even with root capabiliteis
[22:26] <austinmatherne> Hi, I just installed Kubuntu 7.10 (coming from Ubuntu not Windows/Mac) and from some reason my "Find Best Server" button under Software Sources doesn't work.  It closes out the windows evertime I click on it.
[22:27] <algyz> austinmatherne:  start from terminal and look for errors
[22:28] <philipp__> hey
[22:28] <mefisto__> dorkface: "chattr +i filename" will set the immutable attribute. you can check file attributes with "lsattr"
[22:28] <dorkface> mefisto__: ah, ty
[22:28] <austinmatherne> algyz: thanks, but what do I need to start from terminal?
[22:29] <mefisto__> dorkface: -i will remove the attribute, of course
[22:29] <stdin> dorkface: it will also mean it can't be written to
[22:29] <dorkface> mefisto__: I know, I'd just use it to combat stupidity or carelessness :)
[22:29] <dorkface> stdin: good to know, thanks :)
[22:30] <algyz> austinmatherne:  if you're using adept, then sudo adept_manager
[22:30] <stdin> austinmatherne: use kdesu or kdesudo, not sudo
[22:30] <mefisto__> kdesudo, not sudo
[22:30] <dorkface> kdesu == kdesudo?
[22:30] <jussio1> !kdesudo
[22:30] <ubot3> In KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[22:31] <stdin> as long as you have kdesudo installed, yes
[22:31] <algyz> austinmatherne:  yes, kdesu :)
[22:32] <mefisto__> I think kdesudo remembers your password for a while, but kdesu asks every time
[22:32] <algyz> but sudo works as well  :)
[22:32] <stdin> mefisto__: if you have kdesudo installed, then kdesu runs kdesudo
[22:32] <stdin> algyz: no
[22:32] <mefisto__> algyz: that link explains
[22:32] <austinmatherne> using kdesudo adept_manager I get a warning saying "_attachPty () 30"

[22:37] <billyd> Hello :-)
[22:39] <rysiek|pl> hi guys
[22:39] <billyd> Does Kubuntu require that you download and compile alsa drivers for each sound card - especially ones that have been round a while?"?
[22:39] <frank23> billyd: no alsa drivers are compiled already
[22:39] <algyz> billyd:  my card is working out of box, realtek ac'97
[22:40] <rysiek|pl> I have installed kubuntu beta (works great) and am thinking about mounting my original, gutsy /home in hardy. should I take care of anyting? or just mount and it will work?
[22:40] <billyd> I know, but why must I down load the stuff for an ensoniq card - they're almost old enough to vote
[22:40] <austinmatherne>  I get "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:18: FutureWarning: apt API not stable yet" and "ASSERT failure in QWidget: "Widgets must be created in the GUI thread.", file kernel/qwidget.cpp, line 951" when trying to lunch find best server under software sources from terminal after window closes.
[22:41] <billyd> I got a RealTek ALC833 on mb, founf nothing fir ti, so I'm trying to use an ensoniq card
[22:42] <mefisto__> gkffjcs: on mine, ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/podcasts is a symlink to my music collection directory
[22:42] <billyd> I fought all day to download drivers from Alsa and need to kiss the systems butt to get it to configure - seems impossible
[22:44] <gkffjcs> mefisto__: yeah, I know that is where the files actually are, but if I copy them over amarok doesn't recognise them, I still need to resubscribe to all the feeds. which is a really big hassel.
[22:44] <billyd> I'm gonna try something else and try to avoid using a 2X4
[22:45] <mefisto__> gkffjcs: do you have that symlink pointing to your amarok collection's podcasts?
[22:47] <gkffjcs> that is no a simlink, that as a directory, that directory is where the podcasts are downloaded to, there is no metadata in that directory. if I move the contents of that directory to the same directory under my new install the new amarok doesn't recognise that there are even files there, none the less figure out their feeds, mefisto__.
[22:48] <gkffjcs> I really don't care about the podcasts them selves, I just want to know if you can extract the feeds from amarok and import them to a new install of amarok.
[22:49] <mefisto__> gkffjcs: so you have the podcasts in  ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/podcasts now? have you restarted amarok?

[22:53] <gkffjcs> restarting amarok doesn't do it.
[23:03] <reaktae> hi guys, i've setup the KDE Kiosk Admin Tool and restricted the default user not to be able to run any tasks as a SU but now I can't make any changes. Is there a way to renew / create superusers in kubuntu's "repair console"?
[23:03] <eigenvalue> hello. does someone know whether the "async" option of "mount" does appear in the file "/etc/mtab". "sync" seems to appear (with my USB-filesystems) but "async" isn't mentioned..
[23:05] <eigenvalue> reaktae: its possible: i think passwd root in single user was enough, but im not really sure..
[23:05] <reaktae> eigenvalue: tried that... any other ideas? anyone else?
[23:12] <sourcemaker> reaktae: you can mout with a linux recovery cd...
[23:12] <BusError> is there a working 'advanced'  CD burning app beside K3b ? here k3b ejects the media before trying (and failing) to verify it. thats darn useless
[23:12] <root> speaking spanish
[23:13] <reaktae> sourcemaker: but then what? how do I edit user groups then?
[23:13] <frank23> !es
[23:13] <ubot3> Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[23:13] <root> tkans
[23:13] <root> gracias
[23:13] <sourcemaker> reaktae: you can change the password from root and start the admin tool via root?
[23:13] <sourcemaker> reaktae:  without su
[23:14] <reaktae> sourcemaker: I can't become root at all here...
[23:14] <_myrtille_> gute nacht :)
[23:15] <Ace2016> sudo su not working?
[23:16] <reaktae> ace2016: nope.
[23:16] <Ace2016> can't just use su, and type in the root password?
[23:17] <Ace2016> reaktae: any errors produced by sudo su?
[23:17] <reaktae> ace2016: not at all. i can sudo su but the commands i fire as root don't do anything...
[23:18] <Ace2016> don't do anything? echo hello doesn't put hello in a new line? whoami doesn't show output?
[23:18] <reaktae> ace2016: nope... they are ignored...
[23:20] <Ace2016> does sudo followed by any commands work?
[23:20] <TimS> BusError: Ubuntu hardy comes with a nice one if you can stand GTK, but I cant for the life of me remeber its name
[23:21] <reaktae> ace2016: asks for a password and then the same thing... no error msgs..
[23:21] <BusError> TimS: as long as it works :-)
[23:21] <Ace2016> gnome baker?

[23:33] <linus_> what is the command line arg for installing new prog remotly
[23:33] <linus_> ?
[23:34] <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?
[23:35] <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
[23:36] <JasonWard> Hello. what would you say is the most hardcore distribution?
[23:36] <Artimus> JasonWard: Loaded question in a biased channel.
[23:37] <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
[23:38] <Dragnslcr> "hardcore" doesn't have a very precise definition
[23:38] <mimmo> ciao
[23:38] <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
[23:39] <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
[23:40] <linus_> so i dont have to put in the repositories name?
[23:41] <ubuntu> GerrySly: so you want to have the disk checked for errors on every boot?
[23:41] <GerrySly> yeah if that's possible
[23:43] <linus_> or is it possible to do an auytomatic update
[23:43] <linus_> ?
[23:43] <GerrySly> apt-get update
[23:45] <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
[23:47] <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
[23:48] <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
[23:49] <ubuntu> linus_: this error means that another program was/is trying to updage the repos but is either still running or died ungracefully
[23:50] <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 :(
[23:55] <its43> salutations
[23:56] <its43> hey, i was wondering, does anyone here know how to setup a shared internet connection on linux?
[23:58] <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
[23:59] <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
