| NickPresta | Does anyone know if there was any change to configuration or compile-time changes to the Firefox 2.0.0.13 source? Since the last update, Firefox has really slowed down when connecting to multiple sites (or a single site with multiple images).

| vistalite | Hello, Jucato | 00:58 |
| BluesKaj | !Broadcom | praktora | 00:58 |

| vistalite | please i need some help i want to try out KDE4 can i install KDE and use it as a separate session next to KDE 3.5 > | 00:58 |
| vistalite | ?? | 00:58 |
| SlimeyPete | vistalite: yes | 00:59 |
| SlimeyPete | !kde4 | 00:59 |
| 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 | 00:59 |
| vistalite | ok ty | 00:59 |
| vistalite | so how do i install it | 00:59 |
| genii | Visit the links and read them | 00:59 |
| vistalite | ok | 00:59 |
| SlimeyPete | just install the packages you can find at the above URL | 00:59 |
| SlimeyPete | they will install alongside kde3, by default | 00:59 |
| Dr_willis | Or wait for the next kubuntu release and install the kde4 version. :) | 00:59 |
| SlimeyPete | you don't have to do anything special in order to keep your kde3 installation | 00:59 |
| Dr_willis | it may be a better idea to test kde4 on a live cd. | 00:59 |
| vistalite | no | 01:00 |
| vistalite | i hate live cds | 01:00 |
| vistalite | live cds are slow | 01:00 |
| Dr_willis | if you dont LIKE kde4.. well... its worth the wait. | 01:00 |
| Dr_willis | and i dont find the live cd's slow at all. | 01:00 |
| Dr_willis | kde4 can be a bother to uninstall later. | 01:00 |
| vistalite | the fact that its prone for semantical debate makes live cds unworthy to me | 01:01 |
| Dr_willis | vistalite, whatever... they are still darn handy tools.. no idea what you are going on about with the 'debate' stuff... | 01:01 |
| Dr_willis | the easiest way to test drive kde4 is with a live cd. | 01:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | vistalite, if you hate them so much, just install. either way, stop whining about it :) | 01:02 |
| Dr_willis | I see perhaps a dozen people a month in here that install kde4, then a day later they want to remove it.. then that causes problems. | 01:02 |
| Dhraakellian | will OO.o 2.4 be backported to Gutsy? | 01:02 |
| genii | Probably not | 01:03 |
| vistalite | Dr_willis: i am using Linux via Wubi its maybe less than 40 minutes for me to replace my backup root.disk and have the system backup and also have it in a state prior to kde4 installs | 01:03 |
| Dr_willis | You are using wubi? you are brave.. | 01:04 |
| Dr_willis | and lucky that it works. :) | 01:04 |
| Dhraakellian | I've been having some problems with oowriter | 01:04 |
| Dr_willis | I wonder if theres going to be an official #Ubuntu-Wubi channel or not. | 01:04 |
| vistalite | Dr_willis: no luck involved pure skills | 01:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | modest, too... | 01:05 |
| Dr_willis | vistalite, you are nominated to hang in the Wubi channel then. I cant find anyone else that even wants to touch it. | 01:05 |
| vistalite | lol | 01:05 |
| vistalite | Dr_willis: i had no choice i couldnt make another partition on my system | 01:05 |
| Dhraakellian | what is wubi? | 01:05 |
| vistalite | wubi = barbapapa linux | 01:05 |
| Dr_willis | Dhraakellian, a 4 letter word. :) Heh.. It may get to be a very very very very common 'wubi aint working' faq/problem in this channel soon with the next release. | 01:06 |
| Dr_willis | !wubi | 01:06 |

| Dr_willis | It lets you install linux to a 'file' under windows. and boot it. | 01:06 |
| Daisuke_Ido | wubi is quite possibly the worst idea since greedo shooting first. | 01:06 |
| Dhraakellian | ah | 01:06 |
| Dhraakellian | I see. | 01:06 |
| vistalite | no Wubi is great | 01:07 |
| Dr_willis | I rember the linux on 'dos filesystem' years ago. | 01:07 |
| genii | Daisuke_Ido: I entirely agree and am in disappointment it will be officially supported | 01:07 |
| vistalite | i love Wubi D: | 01:07 |
| vistalite | Daisuke_Ido: you are wrong | 01:07 |
| Dr_willis | given the # of wubi problems i see in here a week... i dont think so. :) | 01:07 |
| vistalite | i will exclame your wrongness with a mighty set of symbols Daisuke_Ido ...YOU R WRONG!!!!!!!!!!! | 01:08 |
| vistalite | :) | 01:08 |
| * Dr_willis pokes vistalite in the wubi | 01:08 | |
| Daisuke_Ido | vistalite, the "system" it installs is slow, your linux filesystem is (being on a windows partition) prone to fragmentation, further slowing things down... | 01:08 |
| Jucato | ahem... | 01:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | the inclusion of Wubi will make hardy (for me) forever known as the april fools' release... | 01:09 |
| vistalite | Daisuke_Ido: not really my linux install is on a separate filesystem which i formatted to be used as filesystem for linux but formatted as ntfs by windows | 01:09 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i'm going to try to wrap my head around that | 01:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you created another partition | 01:10 |
| vistalite | Daisuke_Ido: thanks to Wubi i dared to try linux again | 01:10 |
| vistalite | i created another partition on a disk without shit installed on it | 01:10 |
| genii | Does wubi use some loadlin scheme? | 01:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | to contain a loopback disk image... when you could have just installed linux TO that partition | 01:11 |
| vistalite | genii: yes i know so.. | 01:11 |
| * Dr_willis thinks the term filesystem got used incorrectly/too many times.. :) | 01:11 | |
| vistalite | because Wubi fails to work when windows wasnt closed down correctly | 01:11 |
| vistalite | it will prompt busybox | 01:11 |
| vistalite | in that case | 01:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that's a pretty big failure | 01:11 |
| vistalite | no its not | 01:11 |
| vistalite | its on windows | 01:11 |
| Dr_willis | windows crashing will kill linux... :) | 01:11 |
| vistalite | it cant access the filesystem | 01:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | yeah, THAT's the failure | 01:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it's on windows | 01:12 |
| vistalite | when windows wasnt closed down properly | 01:12 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and by definition less than reliable | 01:12 |
| vistalite | yes it is | 01:12 |

| Dr_willis | Poor wubi - doesnet even have an official wiki page yet.. Just a forum thread and a bug report... | 01:15 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 01:15 |
| Azzco | Does anyone know if the alternate CD install is coverd in the usb disk section of the wiki? | 01:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Bug #2: Wubi exists. | 01:16 |
| Dr_willis | Azzco, ive seen info on 'pendrivelinux.com' web site - on settingup usb sticks to boot identically to the live-cd. :) | 01:16 |
| vistalite | Wubi beats a live cd | 01:16 |
| Dr_willis | Azzco, i also got the gOS ubuntu variant isntalled to my thumbdrive with their docs | 01:16 |
| Azzco | Yeah but I haven't been able to boot a liveCD graphicly for several releases =/ | 01:16 |

| Dr_willis | They exist. | 01:23 |
| vistalite | ty :) | 01:23 |
| Dr_willis | I tend to stick with the other emulators. Not seen many N64 games i wanted to play. | 01:23 |
| vistalite | legend of zelda ocarina of time | 01:23 |
| vistalite | best game ever made | 01:23 |
| Dr_willis | I do have a usb-gamepad adaptor that lets me play with a n64 controller. | 01:23 |
| vistalite | where did you buy it Dr_willis? | 01:24 |
| Dr_willis | I thinki have the remake of that for the Gamecube. came with my other zelda game. | 01:24 |
| Azzco | I just compiled zsnes1.42, just for the netplay feature, it was kind of annoying to compile though =/ | 01:24 |
| Dr_willis | got the adaptor at walmart for like $10 | 01:24 |
| vistalite | yeah | 01:24 |
| vistalite | i want to play smash bros 64 online | 01:24 |
| _stijn_ | ha walmart :p reminds me of southpark | 01:24 |
| vistalite | _stijn_: you remind me of the netherlands | 01:24 |

| Dr_willis | try the other ones.. theres about a dozen+ to choose from. | 01:30 |
| vistalite | which ones beside dolphin konqueror and nautilus are any good? | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | proberly close to 2 dozen now a days. | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | depends on your needs. | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | I tend to use 'mc' :) | 01:30 |
| vistalite | mcx | 01:31 |
| vistalite | mc | 01:31 |
| vistalite | never heard of it | 01:31 |
| Dr_willis | time to learn it. Its a must have tool. comes in handy | 01:31 |
| Dr_willis | Plus its very small, works well over ssh/console. | 01:31 |
| Dr_willis | !info mc | 01:31 |
| ubotu | Package mc does not exist in gutsy | 01:31 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm i think the bot is broke, | 01:31 |
| Dr_willis | !info xterm | 01:31 |
| ubotu | Package xterm does not exist in gutsy | 01:31 |
| stdin | the !info function is broken atm | 01:32 |
| Dr_willis | ok. :) | 01:32 |
| vistalite | :) | 01:32 |
| Dr_willis | Poor bot.. has been so sick lately | 01:32 |
| stdin | also !find is broken, so you're stuck with apt-cache and packages.ubuntu.com | 01:33 |
| vistalite | hmz i cant find mc via adept_installer | 01:34 |
| stdin | it's in universe, look in adept manager | 01:34 |
| vistalite | k ty | 01:36 |
| Dr_willis | search for 'file manager' in the package manager. :) | 01:40 |
| Dr_willis | Theres sevral other 2 pane file managers, then thers the ones for xfce, then thers some others also out. | 01:40 |
| Dr_willis | well bbl... | 01:40 |
| kristian_ | Hello. I'm quite a newbie, hoping someone might help with a question. | 01:41 |
| Azzco | What's wrong with konqueror and split view? | 01:41 |
| Azzco | !ask | 01:41 |
| ubotu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 01:41 |
| kristian_ | How can I install a package with an older version than the one already installed?? :) | 01:42 |
| stdin | sudo apt-get install package=version | 01:42 |
| kristian_ | I need to install libasound2_1.0.13-2_i386 since i suspect libasound2_1.0.14-2_i386 has a bug in regard to my usb soundcard | 01:42 |
| kristian_ | How do I know what exact string to put instead of "version"? | 01:43 |
| stdin | the _ separates it, so you'd need sudo apt-get install libasound2=1.0.13-2 | 01:43 |
| kristian_ | Thank you very much, will try now. | 01:43 |
| kristian_ | Version '1.0.13-2' for 'libasound2' was not found - this is the name of my downloaded deb-package, though | 01:44 |
| kristian_ | I suppose it is just not in the repository, but do you know some way to install a deb-package that is an older version? | 01:45 |
| vistalite | i am using dolphin for KDE4 in KDE3.5 now is that going to break my system? | 01:45 |
| stdin | if you want to manually install the .deb use "sudo dpkg -i --force-downgrade libasound2_1.0.13-2_i386.deb" | 01:45 |
| kristian_ | That seems to be exactly what I need... | 01:46 |
| Azzco | vistalite: no but you're loading 2 sets of librarys so it might slow down a bit | 01:48 |
| kristian_ | Wow, that went really fast. Now I just need to restart to test things. My hopes aren't too high, though, this is the built in sound card of my Novation X-Station synth, which should be supported according to the lib-specs... | 01:48 |
| kristian_ | Thanks again! | 01:48 |
| vistalite | ok | 01:48 |
| vistalite | can i install the KDE4 widgets also on KDE 3.5? | 01:49 |
| gregory | when the upgrade to hardy is official released, will it possible to upgrade and keep kde 3.5? | 01:49 |
| Dr_willis | kde4 is not forced on you. :) from what i hear | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis | theres is a kubuntu with kde4 and one without. | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis | Even the variants have variants! | 01:50 |
| stdin | an upgrade will only upgrade kde3, if you want kde4 you have to install the kubuntu-desktop-kde4 package or install fresh | 01:50 |
| gregory | ok, good. thanks | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis | using kde4 right now.. its missing some 'things' that i very much.. well.. err miss. :) | 01:51 |
| Dhraakellian | so it's just like the difference between Kubuntu and Ubuntu in that respect? | 01:51 |
| * Dhraakellian is holding out for 4.1 | 01:51 | |
| Dr_willis | i did notice onthis test box last week that a lot of kde3 stuff got 'removed' (replaced?) by some of the kde4 versions or so it seemed. | 01:52 |
| Azzco | Yeah kde4 feels a bit incomplete | 01:52 |
| gregory | dr_willis: exactly, that's why i want to keep 3.5 until kde4 matures quite a bit | 01:52 |
| Jucato | because it is | 01:52 |
| Dr_willis | I just want the Clock in the panel to show 12 hr format! :) | 01:52 |
| Azzco | I wish that the icons in the taskbar didn't have to be so big | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis | I like them big.. :) i just wish the ones i added, where moveable.. :) | 01:54 |
| NickPresta | They aren't 'big'. They are proportionate to the taskbar height. | 01:55 |
| Dr_willis | !ohmy | 01:55 |
| ubotu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 01:55 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 01:55 |
| NickPresta | ;) | 01:55 |
| vistalite | so can i have a dragable desktop in kubuntu? | 02:08 |
| Dhraakellian | dragable desktop? | 02:09 |
| === _stijn_ is now known as C | ||
| === C is now known as _stijn_ | ||
| vistalite | http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qSA-q1qniMY <-- dragable desktop | 02:19 |
| NickPresta | vistalite, there are virtual desktops, which serve the same purpose (minus the eye candy). You can install Compiz-Fusion, which provides a 'pretty' way to switch between said desktops. | 02:20 |
| vistalite | i know | 02:20 |
| vistalite | but its not the same :( | 02:20 |
| NickPresta | vistalite, what makes draggable desktops unique? | 02:21 |
| Jucato | basically draggable desktops are just a fancy way to 1. switch between desktops (already possible) and 2. rearrange virtual desktops (not yet) | 02:21 |
| NickPresta | ah, I see. Jucato what do you mean 'rearrange' virtual desktops? | 02:21 |
| vistalite | NickPresta: its special because windows osx and GNU/linux cant do it only amiga os can do it | 02:21 |
| Jucato | NickPresta: just how I interpret that Amiga feature. for example, VD 1 has all your PIM, VD 2 has your browser, VD 3 has your office suite, VD 4 has your games... then you'd want to put VD 4 in between VD 1 and 2, etc. | 02:22 |
| Jucato | that works better if you named the VD's | 02:23 |
| Jucato | let me finish the vid and refresh my memory | 02:23 |
| NickPresta | Jucato, ah, I understand. I suppose you could achieve a similar effect but you would have to manually move the applications from virtual desktop to virtual desktop (and manually remember which desktop is which) | 02:24 |
| Jucato | (it's taking a long tie to buffer) | 02:24 |
| Jucato | NickPresta: yeah, the point is you'd have to move the *apps* from one VD to another. not the VD (with the apps) themselves... I think :) | 02:24 |
| Jucato | like I said.. need to finish the vid first :P | 02:24 |
| * Jucato hasn't seen the vid in a loong time | 02:24 | |
| NickPresta | heh. Any idea if draggable VDs is planned for KDE? | 02:25 |
| vistalite | A unique feature of Workbench is multiple screens. These are conceptually similar to X Window System virtual desktops or workspaces, but are generated dynamically by application programs as necessary. Each screen can have a different resolution and colour depth. A gadget in the top-right corner of the screen allows screens to be cycled — as the OS stores all screens in memory simultaneously, redrawing is instantaneous. Screens can | 02:25 |
| vistalite | also be dragged up and down by their title bars. | 02:25 |
| vistalite | see this guy that wrote it is a genius | 02:26 |
| vistalite | nobody even can mimic it today | 02:26 |
| Jucato | btw. in KDE 4 and Compiz, there's a plugin/feature that lets you see all virtual desktops so you can drag apps around | 02:26 |
| vistalite | thats cool | 02:26 |
| vistalite | like spaces | 02:26 |
| Jucato | er... OS X Spaces got the idea from Linux :) | 02:27 |
| Jucato | or *nix | 02:27 |
| Jucato | *nix has had that for years. OS X only got that in Leopard :) | 02:27 |
| osx | what | 02:27 |
| vistalite | ideas are open and shared willingly or unwillingly but implementation varies | 02:28 |
| vistalite | and apple again did a good job there | 02:28 |
| Jucato | of copying? yeah | 02:28 |
| Jucato | :P | 02:28 |
| Jucato | anyway.. the discussion is a bit offtopic. to answer your original question: no, there isn't anything exactly like Intuition | 02:29 |
| Jucato | but who knows? with compositing and stuff it might be possible very soon | 02:29 |
| vistalite | :) | 02:29 |
| Jucato | except for each screen having different resoluctions | 02:29 |
| vistalite | aw :( | 02:30 |
| Jucato | *maybe* | 02:30 |
| * Jucato hasn't been keeping up with X and compositing development | 02:30 | |
| vistalite | yeahs thats cool you can actually play a game in one screen of amiga os and do word processing in the next | 02:30 |
| === ubuntu__ is now known as chinomorenox | ||
| * ryanakca wishes there was an X version of screen | 02:31 | |
| Jucato | ryanakca: there isn't? | 02:31 |
| NickPresta | ryanakca, what's wrong with GNU Screen? | 02:31 |
| === chinomorenox is now known as lesclaypool666 | ||
| Jucato | NickPresta: can GNU screen do GUI? :) | 02:31 |
| NickPresta | Jucato, I always assumed if you were using screen, GUI wasn't a big deal. My mistake :) | 02:32 |
| ryanakca | NickPresta: GNU screen can't handle X apps... Ctrl-A-D doesn't disconnect your X apps ;) | 02:32 |
| ryanakca | lol | 02:32 |
| ktownhero | hola peeps | 02:32 |
| Dr_willis | i just use the exit command.. :) | 02:33 |
| Dr_willis | or 'nohup' :) old-skool | 02:33 |
| Jucato | ryanakca: technically isn't X built on a server-client architecture that would make that possible? after all we have remote X sessions, remote desktops, etc | 02:33 |
| NickPresta | I always preferred Rat Poison to screen anyways... | 02:33 |
| Dr_willis | twin :) is an amuseing variant.. but its gotten less usefull for me over the years | 02:33 |
| haker | anyone know php? | 02:34 |
| _stijn_ | yes | 02:34 |

| haker | wont work :( | 02:35 |
| ryanakca | haker: #php please | 02:35 |
| haker | ryanakca: no help there >.> | 02:35 |
| ryanakca | haker: sorry, ##php | 02:35 |
| NickPresta | haker, off-topic, but you have to have fopen_url_wrappers open, and HTTP wrappers enabled. | 02:35 |
| haker | ##php is not helping =| | 02:35 |
| Jucato | doesn't mean this would be the correct place to ask :) | 02:36 |
| ryanakca | haker: be patient? Ask again in a while, maybe someone who knows the answer will be around? | 02:36 |
| NickPresta | haker, /msg me and I can briefly help you. | 02:36 |
| _stijn_ | it's 3AM :p | 02:36 |

| nosrednaekim | thats pretty hot (the cpu temp) | 02:54 |
| metbsd | zzzzz im downloading dvd of kubuntu | 02:54 |
| metbsd | i hope it's worth it | 02:54 |
| kristian_ | Hi. Does anyone know stuff about ALSA? | 02:54 |
| vistalite | yeah | 02:54 |
| vistalite | cpu temp | 02:54 |
| vistalite | think i have dust | 02:55 |
| vistalite | :( | 02:55 |
| vistalite | it shut down 2x when i played with compiz fusion windows decoration :/ | 02:55 |
| nosrednaekim | vistalite: yeah.. better blow off the dust | 02:55 |
| nosrednaekim | kristian_: depends... what is your problem? | 02:56 |
| kristian_ | The version of ALSA (1.0.14) that comes with gutsy has a lot of problems (with my hardware at least). I know I'm not the only one experiences this. Does anyone know if there it is possible to install the version 1.0.16 without breaking KDE? | 02:56 |
| bobleny | I have a really stupid question: How do I force a mount? | 02:56 |
| nosrednaekim | kristian_: yeah.... thats perfectly fine | 02:56 |
| nosrednaekim | bobleny: "sudo mount /dev/device /mnt" | 02:57 |
| bobleny | But that doesn't force it? | 02:57 |
| kristian_ | I have installed version 1.0.13 which actually solved a lot of problems, but then a lot of dependencies weren't met, and now that I just tried installing something completely different, it removed everything connected to ALSA... | 02:57 |
| nosrednaekim | what error is it giving you? | 02:57 |
| kristian_ | ... which ment all of my programs and the entire KDE... | 02:58 |
| nosrednaekim | kristian_: thats fine | 02:58 |
| nosrednaekim | oh0.o | 02:58 |
| kristian_ | Yeah... | 02:58 |
| kristian_ | But it's okay, I just installed it... again ;) | 02:58 |
| bobleny | Volume is scheduled for check. | 02:58 |
| bobleny | Please boot into Windows TWICE, or use the 'force' mount option. | 02:58 |
| nosrednaekim | bobleny: try "-f " in there thene | 02:58 |
| kristian_ | I think it's probably too late........ | 02:58 |
| nosrednaekim | kristian_: do you have an HDAIntel chipset? a 81018 or whatever? | 02:58 |
| kristian_ | But I'll tell you my problem in short, maybe you will be able to judge what kind of upgrade might help me. | 02:59 |
| kristian_ | Yes, I do. I also have an external usb sound interface. | 02:59 |
| nosrednaekim | kristian_: ok. | 03:00 |
| kristian_ | The external sound card doesn't have too great support in version 1.0.14. Mp3s makes Amarok crash (if I select the external card as default device), and aRts crashes all the time too. KNotify doesn't work... and so on. | 03:00 |
| kristian_ | I've narrowed it down to the ALSA library (libasound2), but it seems that *everything* needs that version "14". | 03:01 |
| nosrednaekim | kristian_: you *could* just upgrade to hardy which should fi most sound problems | 03:02 |
| kristian_ | If I want to install a newer version, it tells me, that the dependencies of that newer version isn't met. It seems to depend on some pretty basic libraries, and I don't know if I might be able to just upgrade them too... | 03:02 |
| nosrednaekim | but don't do that today since there seems to be problems with the hardy kernel modules ATM | 03:02 |
| kristian_ | ... Probably they have other dependencies and so on. | 03:02 |
| nosrednaekim | !intelhda | kristian_ this might have some useful info if you haven't already seen it | 03:03 |
| kristian_ | You have a point, but it appears that Hardy has the same version of ALSA. | 03:03 |
| ubotu | kristian_ this might have some useful info if you haven't already seen it: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 03:03 |
| nosrednaekim | kristian_: I think its 1.0.16 | 03:03 |
| kristian_ | Oh, okay, I think where I read it was in some pre-release discussion of sorts.... | 03:03 |
| kristian_ | Oh, the page tells me to upgrade my alsa-driver by recompiling (part?) of my kernel?? | 03:04 |
| nosrednaekim | yes | 03:05 |
| nosrednaekim | if thats the right method for your grapics card | 03:05 |
| kristian_ | That's ... interesting. I've never tried that before. BUT the exact same method was pointed out elsewhere, so I might give it a try. Is it ... hard? | 03:05 |
| kristian_ | (sound card) | 03:06 |
| nosrednaekim | sound card yes...haha...long day :) | 03:06 |
| kristian_ | I mean, "compiling" and "kernel" - sounds drastic. Not that I don't need to do a complete reinstall anyway. | 03:06 |
| kristian_ | No I really, really appreciate your help :) | 03:06 |
| nosrednaekim | give it a shot.... the worst you can do is learn :) | 03:06 |
| kristian_ | That's true. But what would you say are my chances of success? In other words, is it likely that I a lot of stuff will go wrong during for example the "./configure"-phase? | 03:08 |
| nosrednaekim | its possible.... but in that stage you really can't break anything | 03:09 |
| kristian_ | Or is this - in other words - a trivial matter? | 03:09 |
| nosrednaekim | if you follow the directions, it should Just Work | 03:09 |
| nosrednaekim | I've heard of second-day users doing this, so it shouldn't be too hard | 03:09 |
| kristian_ | Great. Thanks so much. Back to doing a from-the-top with my live-dvd... *sigh* | 03:09 |
| kristian_ | :) :) | 03:09 |
| nosrednaekim | yeah... if you have to do a reinstall, do it with hardy | 03:10 |
| kristian_ | Oh, would you say it's that stable? | 03:10 |
| nosrednaekim | the release candidate is coming out in a day or so... I think. | 03:11 |
| nosrednaekim | so it should be pretty stable | 03:11 |
| nosrednaekim | tho, as I said, they are having kernel isues right now, but that should be sorted out in a day or so | 03:11 |
| kristian_ | Cool. Would you choose KDE 3.4 or 4? I tried installing 4 on gutsy and I didn't think it worked so well. But then I suspected, that it wasn't "incorporated" in a sufficiently deep manner or something like that. You know, maybe I didn't install all the *other* things that are supposed to go with it - or something like that? | 03:13 |
| kristian_ | (That's 3.5...) | 03:13 |
| genii | kristian_: kde4 is purposely minimalistic | 03:13 |
| dwidmann | genii: why? | 03:13 |
| genii | dwidmann: It's just the new design philosophy | 03:14 |
| nosrednaekim | kristian_: kde4 is getting better, but I would still go kde3 and ass kde4 if you want to try it | 03:14 |
| kristian_ | Yeah, but when I made my kicker slimmer and I couldn't change the font size of the clock, I kinda thought... | 03:14 |
| nosrednaekim | *add | 03:14 |
| kristian_ | ... that wasn't too cool... | 03:14 |
| dwidmann | genii: I hope you're wrong ... or I'm going to have to look for someone to kick in the balls >.< | 03:15 |
| epimeth | I set up desktop effects *just* the way I like it... then I restarted and lost all of my settings :-( | 03:15 |
| epimeth | how do I save them? | 03:15 |
| kristian_ | (I feel with you epimeth...) | 03:15 |
| genii | dwidmann: Go harass em in #kubuntu-devel or #kubuntu-kde4 ;) | 03:15 |
| epimeth | lol | 03:15 |
| dwidmann | genii: somehow I feel that won't get me very far ... but for example .... take a look at gwenview, enough to make me cry. | 03:16 |
| * epimeth thanks kristian_ | 03:16 | |
| * _stijn_ sleep | 03:16 | |
| BluesKaj | been fooling some with kde 4.03 , starting to understand some of it but I get feeling it's purposly quite different altho i suspect it'll take more getting used to, than 3.x | 03:16 |
| epimeth | kristian_: do you know how to save? | 03:16 |
| kristian_ | I suppose. I had expected *prettier*, but I think I like 3.5 better... | 03:16 |
| nosrednaekim | .0.3 is out? sweet :) | 03:17 |
| kristian_ | No, sorry, I just f*d up /everything/... | 03:17 |
| * genii mourns gwenview | 03:17 | |
| BluesKaj | kristian_, yeah 4 is more mac-like ...mac users will prolly luv it | 03:17 |
| kristian_ | Yeah, but wasn't Gnome supposed to be the osx-pleaser...? | 03:17 |
| dwidmann | plasma in its current state is nowhere near as function as kdesktop and kicker ... | 03:18 |
| kristian_ | I'm still waiting for some *really* cool ways of thinking desktop environments... | 03:18 |
| dwidmann | bash: /usr/lib/kde4/bin/kcontrol: No such file or directory | 03:18 |
| * dwidmann tears up | 03:18 | |
| BluesKaj | no kidding , dwidmann | 03:18 |
| kristian_ | Well, thanks again everyone, see you. | 03:20 |
| dwidmann | A lot of the other apps seem to be straight ports with reorganized menus to be more usable, that makes more sense to me ... I hope the crippled apps are just incomplete ports and everything else is being added back later or I'll have to finally motivate myself to do somethign | 03:20 |
| epimeth | nobody is using custom desktop effects? | 03:22 |
| nosrednaekim | epimeth: sure am.,... are you on hardy? | 03:23 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | kde4? crippled? noooo.... | 03:23 |
| genii | I'm not crazy about eye candy on my computer. I like to basically leave it alone so long as it runs the things I require correctly | 03:23 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | surely you can't be serious! | 03:23 |
| epimeth | nosrednaekim: yup | 03:23 |
| dwidmann | Daisuke_Laptop: some of them are | 03:24 |
| soho | hi | 03:24 |
| epimeth | Daisuke_Laptop: I am serious. And stop calling me shirley! | 03:24 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | dwidmann: i'm sorry, the correct answer was ... epi got it :D | 03:24 |
| soho | :> | 03:24 |
| epimeth | nosrednaekim: so how do I save the settings? | 03:24 |
| dwidmann | :S | 03:24 |
| nosrednaekim | epimeth: so in the "desktop effects" dialog "Custom effects" doesn't work? it doesn't allow you to modify it with CCSM? | 03:25 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | dwidmann: i also forgot the <sarcasm> tag... i am as yet completely unimpressed with kde4's look, feel, and direction :( | 03:25 |
| epimeth | nosrednaekim: I had it set up *prefectly*, then restarted and lost all of my settings :-( | 03:25 |
| epimeth | also, for some reason the mouse is determining which window has focus... I *Really* don't like that | 03:26 |
| soho | how delete kubuntu ? | 03:26 |
| nosrednaekim | epimeth: yeah... I noticed that, I'm going to change that default setting. | 03:26 |
| dwidmann | Daisuke_Ido: Look isn't really all that bad -plus you can still use plastic if you want to, the biggest area hurting it right now is probably plasma, which is incomplete as things stand currently. | 03:26 |
| epimeth | soho: you want to delete kubuntu or just kde? | 03:27 |
| soho | يا اخوان فيه احد عربى انا ما افهم انجليزي :( | 03:27 |

| nosrednaekim | epimeth: would you mind filing a bug? | 03:33 |
| epimeth | nosrednaekim: I don't know that it is a bug... I think there may be a way to save the settings I just don't know about | 03:33 |
| epimeth | nosrednaekim: "feature" :-) | 03:33 |
| nosrednaekim | epimeth: nah.. its a bug :) | 03:33 |

| nosrednaekim | epimeth: eh, did you post it against my app? | 03:37 |
| epimeth | nosrednaekim: I'm not actually sure... lemme check launchpad | 03:37 |
| nosrednaekim | the appication is desktop-effects-kde4 | 03:38 |
| nosrednaekim | err.. without the 4 | 03:38 |
| epimeth | nosrednaekim: I think I filed it under kdebase | 03:39 |
| nosrednaekim | well... what was the bug... | 03:40 |
| nosrednaekim | actually, I g2g.... | 03:40 |
| epimeth | nosrednaekim: I still don't fully get how launchpad is organized | 03:40 |
| nosrednaekim | epimeth: :) | 03:40 |
| Jucato | who does? :) | 03:40 |
| epimeth | nosrednaekim: you want me to file the bug, or will you take care of it? | 03:40 |
| * Jucato hides.. gtg 2 | 03:40 | |
| Jucato | s/2/too/ | 03:40 |
| nosrednaekim | epimeth: I'll try to remember :) | 03:41 |

| epimeth | s/guts/guys | 03:41 |
| Jucato | adios gutsy? no no it's just 6 months old :) | 03:41 |
| epimeth | nosrednaekim: where is the setting for mouse focus? | 03:42 |
| nosrednaekim | epimeth: probably under general i'd guess | 03:42 |
| epimeth | cheers | 03:42 |
| epimeth | nosrednaekim: "click to focus" is enabled :-( | 03:44 |
| nosrednaekim | yeah..... but disable focus flows mouse | 03:45 |
| epimeth | wtf? effects level is set to no effects... this is a kde3 setting! grrrr..... | 03:45 |
| epimeth | okay... now that desktop effects is enabled, its fine. | 03:46 |
| nosrednaekim | bye | 03:47 |
| epimeth | adios | 03:47 |

| Itaku | is it possible to block me from typing in rm -rf /? | 03:48 |
| epimeth | lol | 03:48 |
| Itaku | cuz i accidently typed it in a few times | 03:48 |
| Itaku | went to type in a path and accidently hit enter .-. | 03:48 |
| epimeth | you can't rm -rf / if you aren't root | 03:48 |
| Itaku | root terminal | 03:48 |
| epimeth | why????????????????????????????? | 03:49 |
| Itaku | more access | 03:49 |
| Itaku | dont have to sudo | 03:49 |
| Itaku | cuz im lazy | 03:49 |
| epimeth | then consider it a lesson learned. | 03:49 |
| NickPresta | Itaku, I suppose you learned your lesson then? :) | 03:49 |
| Itaku | 2 lessons | 03:49 |
| epimeth | root terminal = BE CAREFUL | 03:49 |
| genii | Well, thats what happens and no one to blame but yourself after for defeating th built in safeties | 03:49 |
| Itaku | but is there a way to make it so it doesnt listen to that | 03:49 |
| genii | Itaku: Yes. | 03:50 |
| Itaku | how? | 03:50 |
| NickPresta | Itaku, do you find yourself accidentally typing rm -rf / frequently? It doesn't seem like something that needs to be prevented by the system. You should prevent yourself from typing that. | 03:50 |
| genii | Itaku: In sudoers file make a cmnd_alias to the command you don'e ever want to run. Then exclude whatever users from being able to do it. | 03:50 |
| genii | There are many tutorials on how to do this sort of sudoers editing/setups | 03:51 |
| epimeth | genii: does that stop you from being able to run it if you sudo -s ? | 03:51 |
| epimeth | erm sudo -i ? | 03:51 |
| genii | epimeth: Yes | 03:51 |
| epimeth | ah | 03:51 |
| epimeth | cool | 03:51 |

| Itaku | so like | 03:51 |
| Itaku | ive never used sudoers file | 03:51 |
| genii | To reiterate:There are many tutorials on how to do this sort of sudoers editing/setups | 03:52 |
| epimeth | Itaku: /etc/sudoers | 03:52 |
| Itaku | no but how do i make a cmnd_alias | 03:52 |
| Itaku | wait in in root though | 03:52 |
| genii | I'm going to make you work for it and google | 03:52 |
| genii | ;) | 03:52 |
| Itaku | ... | 03:53 |
| epimeth | good on you, genii! | 03:53 |
| epimeth | Itaku: man sudoers | 03:53 |
| genii | Itaku: This may get you started https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers | 03:54 |
| genii | epimeth: I generally feel that huge mistakes caused by laziness will only be repeated if you encourage the laziness ;) | 03:55 |
| Itaku | is there an rm command that ignores when its told to delete /? | 03:56 |
| genii | No | 03:57 |
| === narg_ is now known as narg | ||
| NickPresta | Maybe create your own version of rm and place it in ~/bin. That might work? | 03:58 |
| Itaku | i found --preserve-root fail to operate recursively on `/' | 04:00 |
| Itaku | is there a way to make it always do that | 04:00 |
| gerenuk | Itaku: if you don't run it as sudo it won't delete /, replace rm /directory_to_be_deleated with ls, so that it shows which files you are about to delete, and also use rm -i to play it safe | 04:00 |
| epimeth | gerenuk: he wants rm -rf specifically | 04:01 |
| Itaku | NickPresta: ill do that oonce you teach me c | 04:01 |
| Itaku | :p | 04:01 |
| gerenuk | rm -rf on root ? | 04:02 |
| epimeth | but yea... if you alias rm with rm --preserve-root | 04:03 |
| epimeth | gerenuk: yes | 04:03 |
| epimeth | gerenuk: he's very silly | 04:03 |
| Itaku | yeah | 04:04 |
| Itaku | i know | 04:04 |
| epimeth | Itaku: did you catch the alias? | 04:04 |
| gerenuk | oh ok, have fun and good luck then ^_^ | 04:04 |
| NickPresta | Itaku, you could easily write it in BASH, etc. You could write a bash function and have that instead of root. Of course, this all seems superfluous. I suggest you just stop typing the offending command. | 04:04 |
| genii | hehe NickPresta | 04:04 |
| Itaku | its always on accident | 04:05 |
| genii | The reason root is locked out is exactly that, accidents happen | 04:05 |
| Itaku | root@itaku-desktop:~# alias rm='rm --preserve-root' | 04:05 |
| Itaku | i just did that | 04:06 |
| NickPresta | Itaku, I don't know about your keyboard layout, but 'rm -rf /' are not close together. It seems hard to 'accidentally' type that. If you seriously need to rm something referencing an absolute path, use -i as well. | 04:06 |
| Itaku | was gonna hit shift | 04:06 |
| Itaku | but messed up | 04:06 |
| NickPresta | Use the shift on the left side of your keyboard? | 04:07 |
| Itaku | right side | 04:07 |
| Itaku | im right handed | 04:07 |
| NickPresta | At any rate, we have given you enough tips. I don't think there is much more _we_ can do for you. :) | 04:07 |
| Itaku | but does what i did work? | 04:07 |
| NickPresta | Itaku, it should, yep | 04:08 |
| epimeth | Itaku: it should | 04:08 |
| Itaku | k | 04:08 |
| genii | I'm tempted to tell you to try it but I won't be quite that mean | 04:08 |
| Itaku | thanks | 04:08 |
| epimeth | Itaku: only one way to find out :-) | 04:08 |
| epimeth | Itaku: thats a temporary solution tho | 04:09 |
| Itaku | epimeth: hell no :p | 04:09 |
| epimeth | Itaku: you should add that to root's bashrc | 04:09 |
| Itaku | bashrc | 04:09 |
| Itaku | that stores aliases? | 04:09 |
| epimeth | its a file that executes on every interactive login | 04:09 |
| epimeth | as in, sudo -i | 04:09 |

| austin__ | anyone know how to disable the new pink theme on kde4? | 05:41 |
| genii | hehe | 05:41 |
| austin__ | been googling to no avail... | 05:47 |
| austin__ | I'm not too big a fan of pink lace personally... | 05:47 |
| genii | I asked in #kubuntu-kde4 fror you but no one's responding yet | 05:47 |
| austin__ | thanks | 05:48 |
| austin__ | didn't know about that channel, I'll lurk there as well | 05:48 |
| genii | It's quiet as hell in there | 05:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i would imagine that hell would be rather noisy, what with the screams of the damned and all that | 05:49 |
| austin__ | depends on the level you're on | 05:50 |
| austin__ | the 9th level would be pretty quiet, with the freezing and all | 05:51 |
| Daisuke_Ido | of course, that all depends on what you believe. | 05:51 |
| Daisuke_Ido | personally, i believe there can be no freezing in hell until such time that the chicago cubs win a world series | 05:52 |
| austin__ | true, true, I was going by dante | 05:52 |
| austin__ | I prefer the pastafarian outlook | 05:53 |
| austin__ | what with the beer volcano and stripper factory and all | 05:53 |
| genii | austin__: According to some folks in #kubuntu-devel the pink theme should revert back on it's own whenever you next update | 05:53 |
| Ragnarel | austin__, http://blog.nixternal.com/2008.04.01/new-kubuntu-kde-4-remix/ is this ur issue? | 05:53 |
| austin__ | Ragnarel: yes | 05:55 |
| Ragnarel | just a joke from Kubuntu Hardy, it seems (read comments) | 05:56 |
| austin__ | that's what I was reading | 05:56 |
| austin__ | yeah, I can deal with a joke, as long as it reverts in a few days...I'd prefer some way to disable it manually, but eh | 05:57 |
| Daisuke_Ido | idunno, i kinda like it -_- | 05:57 |
| austin__ | heh | 05:57 |
| Daisuke_Ido | perhaps not PINK | 05:57 |
| Daisuke_Ido | but it would make a festive holiday decoration in christmas colours | 05:57 |
| austin__ | I was liking the black/vista-ish look, aside from the plasma crashes | 05:57 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you mean kde4 does something other than crash? | 05:58 |
| hydrogen | well | 05:58 |
| Ragnarel | patience! xD | 05:58 |
| hydrogen | its done all sorts of things for me | 05:58 |
| hydrogen | and hasn't crashed in like two months | 05:58 |
| hydrogen | so | 05:58 |
| hydrogen | meh | 05:58 |
| Daisuke_Ido | hydrogen, raised your blood pressure, caused hair loss, things like that? :) | 05:58 |
| hydrogen | no | 05:58 |
| hydrogen | nice try though | 05:59 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i fully believe that kde4 will be *great* | 05:59 |
| hydrogen | feel free to troll elsewhere | 05:59 |
| Daisuke_Ido | once the bugs are worked out of plasma | 05:59 |
| Ragnarel | uhm I tried to use kde4 and was impossible for me | 05:59 |
| Ragnarel | I mean, still not very stable | 05:59 |
| hydrogen | plasmas been quite reliably for me for a while now as well | 05:59 |
| hydrogen | the tooltips still have a habbit or not disappearing when they should | 05:59 |
| hydrogen | but other than that | 05:59 |
| austin__ | I haven't added any widgets, however, I've had quite a few wm crashes requiring clearing out plasma settings to get plasma back | 06:01 |
| austin__ | and now I have the elton john theme | 06:01 |
| austin__ | so yeah | 06:01 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i think my biggest real problem with kde4 right now is purely aesthetic - i like having a few icons on the desktop, but i don't like each one being treated as a separate framed widget - now i don't know if that's still the case in 4.0.3, or if that behaviour can be turned off, but that's where i stand at the moment | 06:01 |
| Ragnarel | I experienced that in less than 1 hour using kde4, austin__ | 06:01 |
| hydrogen | Daisuke_Ido: the plan is for icons to not exist at all for 4.1 | 06:02 |
| hydrogen | hurray! | 06:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | actually go to 'plasmoid' launchers? | 06:02 |
| austin__ | Daisuke_Ido: yeah, I test a lot of apps for wine, and quite a few install shortcuts...select all + delete no longer works :-( | 06:02 |
| Ragnarel | well, finally I think that I will not upgrade till 4.1 release | 06:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | because that would be alright | 06:02 |
| hydrogen | a dir lister plasmoid | 06:03 |
| austin__ | Ragnarel: I experience it a lot when running the wine test suite...I've gotten used to it now, but that gray screen is still _very_ annoying | 06:03 |
| genii | At they rate they produce kde versions a 4.1 release will likely be along in ...perhaps 5 years | 06:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i'm excited to see what 4.1 has to offer | 06:03 |
| hydrogen | genii: or you know--- four months | 06:04 |
| hydrogen | but you're close! | 06:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | genii, i don't think so, i think that the impression that linux is a good desktop OS is spreading, and making devs feel a little bit of pressure to get things fixed | 06:04 |
| hydrogen | of course, 4.1 will have a few new things, and not just three things copied from gnome and a new note taking application | 06:04 |
| * genii expects something like 4.0.5 in maybe 4 months | 06:04 | |
| hydrogen | like another desktop I can name... | 06:05 |
| Ragnarel | well, when 4.1 will be released, developers will say that real kde will be 4.1.1... xd | 06:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | well copied from gnome eliminates a couple options right there... | 06:05 |

| Martin_ | someone know how to bridge a ppp0 and eth0 connection | 09:17 |
| llutz | Martin_: for "connection-sharing" you'll need to activate ip-forwarding/nat on the box with internet-access. | 09:19 |
| Martin_ | llutz: how would i do that | 09:19 |
| llutz | Martin_: try http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/configuring-ip-forwarding-through-ubuntu-587164/ | 09:19 |
| Martin_ | thanks llutz | 09:20 |
| llutz | Martin_: in general you have to enable ip-forwarding on that box. on the client you need to set default route (gateway) to the pc with internet. Also you have to set a nameserver on the client for dns. Set an external dns or install dnsmasq on the pc sharing the connection | 09:23 |

| fat-head | its happened with quite a few other apps from synaptic which come with gui but i end up having to " run command " | 11:35 |
| jussi01 | fat-head: if you read the description in synaptic, then you would know why you havent got a menu entry :) | 11:35 |
| jussi01 | fat-head: it says: This is the console version. | 11:35 |
| fat-head | jussi01 i added it to aynaptic through source checkinstall | 11:35 |
| jussi01 | fat-head: btw, are you on ubuntu or kubuntu? | 11:36 |
| fat-head | yes but when i used ubuntu i was able to install nvclock through checkinstall and it appeared int he menus | 11:36 |
| fat-head | im on kubuntu | 11:36 |
| PhilRod | Martin_: are you sure you don't mean "ssh -X hostname"? | 11:37 |
| jussi01 | fat-head: hrm, Im not a big fan of checkinstall, and havent used it much, so Im afraid i dont have answers for you. sorry. | 11:38 |
| Martin_ | PhilRod: that should be the same or ... i can ssh in no problem but i can't start any X applications | 11:39 |
| andybleaden | Hi. Anyone had any recent success converting .ape files. I used to use monkeys audio but have had real trouble with it last time I tried it. Anyone else have any joy...especially with say soundkonvertor??? | 11:45 |
| PAdAM | haloo? | 11:47 |
| jussi01 | PAdAM: hi. | 11:48 |
| andybleaden | HI | 11:48 |
| andybleaden | PAdAM: you new on this | 11:48 |
| andybleaden | ? | 11:48 |
| PAdAM | jop | 11:49 |
| andybleaden | Anyone anygood with .ape files? | 11:49 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: What do you mean by "good with"? Playing them? | 11:58 |
| PhilRod | Martin_: sorry, got distracted. Can you check that DISPLAY gets set in the ssh session (eg, "echo $DISPLAY" without the quotes) | 11:59 |
| praveen_ | i want to make a makefile | 12:03 |
| anyko | hi | 12:03 |
| praveen_ | i need to create one | 12:03 |
| anyko | i have a question... about kmail | 12:03 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: sorry .....I mean had success at converting them into wav files | 12:03 |
| jussi01 | !ask | anyko | 12:03 |
| ubotu | anyko: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 12:03 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: I actually did have success converting them to wav and then to flac, yes. I'll find the script, hang on | 12:04 |
| jussi01 | andybleaden: you may also have a some success asking in #ubuntustudio , however it is a bit quiet in there, so you may need to be patient | 12:04 |
| anyko | okay.. so i try everthing to send emails via smtp... with several servers it dosn't work | 12:04 |
| anyko | i check everything, my identitys | 12:05 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: many thanks...just tried to download the mac tar giz thing to give it another try...not hopeful | 12:05 |
| jussi01 | anyko: I often find the security settings are often at fault ffor mail failures | 12:06 |
| anyko | in e.g? | 12:06 |
| anyko | tls an so one? | 12:06 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Did you use this or something else: http://jmac.sourceforge.net/ ? | 12:07 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: hmm...just tried this: http://gimpel.gi.funpic.de/wiki/index.php?title=Howto:convert_ape_to_wav/mp3/ogg_on_Linux | 12:08 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: I'm guessing mac and jmac are different. I've used jmac. You'll need java, though | 12:09 |
| jussi01 | anyko: yeah, thats what Im talking about. check your provider to see which settings they use. | 12:09 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: think I have that...hmm...is there a quick konsole way to check? | 12:10 |
| anyko | i check the provider he works with tls... and if i try to send without it dosnt work, too | 12:10 |
| anyko | he always talk about an unknown transport protokol | 12:10 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Just a sec | 12:11 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: You got all the files from that page you posted, right? | 12:11 |
| anyko | but i don't know, how i can check what the problem is.... i check with telnet, if my computer is able to talk with the ptovider... ab it works | 12:12 |
| andybleaden | I only got as far as the tar gz download and then extracted them...nothing more...not that hot at installing from tar gz...in fact very bad | 12:12 |
| andybleaden | :( | 12:12 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: If that's all, then no problem. I can guide you through it | 12:13 |
| jussi01 | anyko: have you tried using the "check what the server supports" button? | 12:13 |
| andybleaden | :) | 12:13 |
| anyko | yes | 12:13 |
| jussi01 | anyko: what is the exact error message it gives? | 12:14 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: I have downloaded both jmac and mac tar gz now | 12:14 |
| anyko | where can i found it? | 12:15 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: So you've extracted the mac .tar.gz file already? | 12:15 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: yes | 12:15 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: into a folder in home | 12:15 |
| jussi01 | anyko: well tell me what happens when you try to connect and get mail. | 12:16 |
| anyko | jussi01: it is something like unable to send message: unknown transport protokol | 12:16 |
| anyko | jussi01: i get mails, but he just do not send them | 12:16 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Right. Now open the console and go to that folder | 12:16 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: the mac folder | 12:17 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: or home | 12:17 |
| jussi01 | anyko: Im sorry, I dont know the answer to that one :/ | 12:17 |
| anyko | jussi01: okay | 12:17 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: The mac folder | 12:18 |
| anyko | jussi01: it seemed that nobody could | 12:18 |
| anyko | jussi01: thanks | 12:19 |
| jussi01 | anyko: sorry I couldnt help more :/ | 12:19 |
| anyko | jussi01: dosn't matter | 12:20 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: see this is where I get in the mire...its title is mac so I should type cd /mac ? | 12:21 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Nop, just "cd mac" without the quotes | 12:21 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: in ! | 12:23 |

| prophet | hi i have just installed kubuntu beta with kde4 and wanted to know why the digital clock and the menu button don't get smaller the 32px when changing panel size? And why do the parts of them that are not visible anymore (because over oversize) appear at the top of the desktop (they are wrapped around from bottom to top)? | 12:37 |
| prophet | can i fix this? | 12:37 |
| prophet | can i show seconds on the digital clock? | 12:38 |
| Dr_willis | prophet, kde4 is still very much a work in progress | 12:38 |
| Dr_willis | a lot of things like that are not 'there' yet. | 12:38 |
| Dr_willis | Theres a lot of kde4 related packages not installed by default also. These add in some missing functionality. But not a lot. :) | 12:39 |
| Dr_willis | right click on the clock and check its properties. thats about all the features it has. | 12:39 |
| prophet | ok | 12:39 |
| prophet | thats really sad | 12:40 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Now that there is a little more action in here I can rephrase my question from hours ago: Does Gutsy have some kind of disk encryption by default? | 12:40 |
| Dr_willis | its really a 'work in progress' | 12:40 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: ok jmac is extracted but in a folder called jmac..had real trouble with the tar zxvf jmac-1.74.tar.gz command | 12:40 |
| jussi01 | prophet: Kde4 suport in #kubuntu-kde4 :) | 12:40 |
| Dr_willis | MilhousePunkRock, Not by default that i know of. Hardy i think does.. | 12:40 |
| MilhousePunkRock | On today's fsck I noticed the messages "Starting early crypto disks" and "Starting remaning crypto disks" while booting... | 12:40 |
| Dr_willis | It may be that gutsy did have it.. I just never noticed. :) | 12:40 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Dr_willis: Where do those messages possibly come from if I never set anything up manually? It does not ask for a password either though... | 12:41 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Trouble. Should've been pretty straightforward | 12:41 |
| RogueJediX | *Trouble? | 12:41 |
| Dr_willis | Actually i do recall some gusty disk encryption stuff when gutsy first came out. - I never messed with it. | 12:41 |
| MilhousePunkRock | prophet: I have noticed the same behaviour, probably there is no option to resize the clock yet... KDE3 had font size settings for the clock, IIRC... | 12:42 |
| prophet | MilhousePunkRock: Ok thanks. | 12:42 |
| prophet | Then i'll switch back to normal ubuntu... | 12:42 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: had trouble...trying again and it worked...now i have a folder called jmac-1.74...do not not why | 12:43 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: That's alright, because that means it extracted properly | 12:43 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: god knows why it did not before...anyway...i am used to this | 12:44 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Dr_willis: The good side of this is, that I researched a little about security and anonymity now... I might set up a totally encrypted system when I do a clean install after the Hardy release... :D Not that I have anything to hide though. I'll just do it for the main reason I do geeky stuff, because I can... ;) | 12:44 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Now go into that folder and in that folder is another one called "distributables" | 12:44 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: ok | 12:44 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Go into that one too and you're ready to go | 12:44 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: into it via konsole or konqueror | 12:44 |
| MilhousePunkRock | prophet: There probably already is a fully configurable clock for plasma though... | 12:44 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Via konsole. Sorry, should've been more clear | 12:45 |
| prophet | MilhousePunkRock: The analog one it pretty good but to small on a 24 px panel | 12:45 |
| TeslaTony | How can I customize my keyboard layout, especially for a specific program? | 12:46 |
| MilhousePunkRock | prophet: I installed KDE4 again just two days ago (had a nice pink environment and a unicorn because of the date), I haven't done much with it yet... If I can't composite to work properly on my louse 16 MB laptop video chip, I might stick to KDE 3.5 or even switch to Gnome though... | 12:46 |
| andybleaden | oh no http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62007/ | 12:46 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: am i missing something really easy here | 12:47 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Drop the / | 12:47 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Just "cd jmac-1.74" | 12:47 |
| MilhousePunkRock | TeslaTony: As in "using keyboard layout A for program X" and "keyboard layout B for the rest"? | 12:47 |
| TeslaTony | MilhousePunkRock: And I have no idea how to customize my layout at all | 12:48 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: right i know what I am doing wrong...i was cd /home then jmac..i just do it from the first konsole prompt | 12:48 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: now I am in | 12:49 |
| MilhousePunkRock | TeslaTony: Basically that can be done in the regional settings of the Control Center. But I have no idea how that can be done selectively, if at all... | 12:49 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: do I find distributables | 12:49 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Easy. Just type "cd distributables" | 12:50 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: done that and it worked yiipee 1rst time | 12:50 |
| TeslaTony | MilhousePunkRock: Thanks. That may be enough for me to use as a starting point to figure the rest on my own | 12:50 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Excellent. Now, do you remember where the .ape file is? | 12:51 |
| prophet | MilhousePunkRock: I have found 4+ more or less worse bugs within the first 5 minutes of use. And to that comes that i'm missing some features i want. kde was never an alternative for me and i wanted to give kde4 a try because they really made nice features. But at the moments i'm tending to go back to gnome because its not stable/unbuggy enough for me | 12:51 |
| MilhousePunkRock | TeslaTony: If it's system wide, it is probably set in the locales somewhere... | 12:51 |
| MilhousePunkRock | prophet: It's a .0 release, it still has edges and all... I would not use it on a productive system yet... | 12:51 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: both now in home | 12:52 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Okay, showtime. Type in "java -jar jmac.jar -d" and then the path to your file | 12:53 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Something like "java -jar jmac.jar -d /home/andybleaden/myapefile.ape" | 12:53 |

| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Dp you know how to copy and paste in linux? | 13:00 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: yup did that and this happened ( copied via copying your text and shift and insert into the konsole?? | 13:01 |
| Dr_willis | juan_, wget, or scp perhaps. | 13:01 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62011/ | 13:02 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Weird. That should've worked. Do you know where i could find an .ape file to fiddle around with it? | 13:03 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: I'm sorry, I'm stupid. Just realised what I did wrong | 13:04 |
| juan_ | Dr_willis: dont suppose you know the commands to do a recursive get? | 13:04 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: no probs ...what info do you need | 13:04 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Insted of java -jar jam -d etc etc. Type "java -jar jmac.jar d" | 13:04 |
| Dr_willis | with wget? nope. | 13:04 |
| jussi01 | juan_: I think there is a spider command, iirc | 13:04 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: No minus in fron of the d. Sorry, my bad | 13:05 |
| jussi01 | juan_: see "man wget" | 13:05 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: its cookin' | 13:05 |

| andybleaden | decompressing | 13:06 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: There we go | 13:06 |

| === severedfifth is now known as jono | ||
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: I can explain that. The ~ character means your home folder | 13:08 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Typing ~ or /home/andy/ is essentially the same | 13:08 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: As for the \ characters: When you put a space in the command line, it thinks it has to follow another command or something, in layman's terms | 13:09 |
| === Ringgeist is now known as t00r | ||
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: that is new | 13:10 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: to me | 13:10 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: So, when you typed in jmac.jar -d John Cage - The Seasons.ape, it thought it had to decompress files called John, Cage,- and The and dump it in a file called Seasons.ape | 13:11 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: So you have to put a \ in front of every space of the filename in order not to confuse it | 13:11 |
| BluesKaj | howdy all | 13:11 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: i see ...so if I copy that pasted command into somewhere useful and follow it everytime I should get it right? | 13:12 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: or alternatively temp rename all ape files as 1.ape etc like I used to with mac before | 13:13 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: what happens with the .cue file then...never understood them either | 13:14 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Right. Alternately, you could use quotes, like "John Cage -The Seasons.ape" | 13:14 |
| Dr_willis | i always use single quotes :) | 13:14 |

| ryy | Hello, I am unable to install new programs because it always says "another process is using the packaging system database.." How can I find the culprit process and kill it? | 13:15 |
| llutz | !aptfix | ryy | 13:16 |
| ubotu | ryy: 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 » | 13:16 |
| Dr_willis | andybleaden, yes. bash treates themn differently..i forget the specifcs however. | 13:16 |
| Dr_willis | plus i dont have to use the shift key to do ' | 13:16 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 13:16 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: this is where it is up to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62013/ | 13:16 |
| ryy | I try it right now. | 13:16 |
| llutz | try echo "$PATH" '$PATH' and you'll see the difference | 13:16 |
| andybleaden | Dr_willis: aha! | 13:16 |
| Dr_willis | llutz, yea. i knew it had somthing to do with variables and expansion. :) | 13:17 |
| Dr_willis | just couldent put it in words.. heh | 13:17 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Yeah, just sit tight. ape files take a while | 13:17 |
| ryy | Thank you, its working now. Would mind telling me what that command does? | 13:18 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: oh yes that I remember and its well worth the wait...what did you mean re bash treats them different ( remember this is the man who could not change folders...and while I am on the subject....why do I have to sometimes use a / and not when cd ing | 13:19 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: i take it the cue thing splits ape file up if I remember rightly for media players | 13:21 |
| jussi01 | ryy: simply, when adept opens it locks the database file so nothing else can use it. if it crashes, it does not unlock it. that command unlocks the database. | 13:21 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: I'm not really clear on spaces in filenames and bash myself. And yeah, the cue file usually splits it into tracks | 13:23 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: I could next time do this if the file is called 1 :~/jmac-1.74/distributables$ java -jar jmac.jar d ~/1.ape 1.wav | 13:23 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: You can still use the cue file and the wav file you're about to get together | 13:23 |
| andybleaden | RogueJediX: aha | 13:23 |
| RogueJediX | andybleaden: Exactly | 13:23 |
| ryy | thanks again. | 13:23 |

| MilhousePunkRock | anyko: Can you send with other programs? I know for myself that I can not use my university's SMTP server if I am not in the university's IP name space... | 13:48 |
| Bredren | Yes dwidmann | 13:48 |
| Bredren | dwidmann: is that the good way to do ? | 13:49 |
| dwidmann | replace the comma after bind with a space and you should be good really, If I remember right | 13:49 |
| dwidmann | Bredren: if all else fails, copy the line out of your /etc/mtab | 13:49 |
| anyko | MilhousePunkRock: of course in the university it is the same problem, i only could recive the other mails, | 13:50 |
| Bredren | great dwidmann, I just need to copy/paste from etc/mtab | 13:50 |
| MilhousePunkRock | anyko: So it is your university's SMTP server? | 13:51 |
| KingOfDos|lap | is there a way that calendarserver will be added to the ubuntu repository? | 13:51 |

| kymoie | why is irc taken out of kopete for KDE4? | 13:51 |
| MilhousePunkRock | anyko: Did you run the encryption test? | 13:51 |
| dwidmann | Bredren: you're welcome | 13:52 |
| MilhousePunkRock | kymoie: I guess noone here knows... kde4 is discussed in #kubuntu-kde4 anyway... | 13:52 |
| anyko | MilhousePunktRock: i try everything, with identities, secrurity-options, ... yes, you mean the security support from server, didn't you? | 13:52 |
| KingOfDos|lap | ok. calendarserver will be added "soon" i guess. but calendarserver already has that status for a few months. | 13:53 |
| kymoie | thanks MilhousePunkRock | 13:53 |
| KingOfDos|lap | i want to create a OS indipendend workstation/method. when i want to use a couple of Sunbird installations (or other software), then i need calendarserver or another iCal / CalDAV function. | 13:54 |
| anyko | MilhousePunkRock: i also try to talk via telnet, and it works, but kmail only talk about an unknown transportProtokol..., maybe here is a missing package... but i install Kmail again and it dosn't work again | 13:54 |
| MilhousePunkRock | anyko: I find the way KMail handles accounts a bit confusing myself... You did set up an identity for the new transport you want to use, did you? | 13:54 |
| anyko | yes | 13:54 |
| MilhousePunkRock | anyko: Are you registered with the server? We can talk German in a query, that will simplify things... | 13:56 |

| dwidmann | Jucato: my 25ish keystrokes vs your 45ish keystrokes :P | 14:24 |

| dwidmann | ksal: nothing at all | 14:25 |

| Jessica | how can i set it so i can log in as root | 14:27 |
| Jucato | !root | Jessica | 14:27 |
| ubotu | Jessica: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 14:27 |
| dwidmann | I really like that description, has a kind of Matrix-esque taste to it | 14:28 |
| KubuntuJack | what is the correct channel for asking about hardware compatibility of k/ubuntu? | 14:28 |

| KubuntuJack | and maybe the last :) can i run a raid on on the ICH9R ? | 14:32 |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: ahci?? | 14:32 |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: would probably be fakeraid ..... which ends up making the cpu do the work anyway .. | 14:33 |
| dwidmann | What's AHCI mode for SATA drives though? I have a board with an ICH9R southbridge so i can test I suppose. | 14:34 |
| KubuntuJack | ahci -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Host_Controller_Interface | 14:34 |
| nyko | genii: hey how are you today | 14:35 |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: what's special-er about it? | 14:35 |
| genii | dwidmann: ahci mode is native mode for sata. As opposed to for instance compatability/ide emulated | 14:35 |
| KubuntuJack | should allow hotswitching, but also speed up transfer. mind you i know nothing of this, have staid away some years from hardware ;) | 14:35 |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: wait around for a few, I saw that option in bios, I'll give it a go | 14:36 |

| philipp_ | how can i find out which ports get data from the Internet? | 14:40 |
| genii | KubuntuJack: 7.10 supported my Asus p5k-e sata controller but module mv_sata was needed. In this case also a linux souce code for the motherboard chipset came on cd from Asus, but it was for compilation under RedHat | 14:40 |
| genii | nyko: Good, this is with the usb suspend still disabled then? | 14:41 |
| BluesKaj | philipp_, are you trying to set up a p2p or torrent client ? | 14:41 |
| nyko | genii: i dunno | 14:41 |
| genii | nyko: To answer your first question, I'm a bit tired but otherwise all right :) | 14:41 |
| ksal | BluesKaj: isn't it the same thing? | 14:41 |
| philipp_ | Blueskaj... somethink simmelar.... a conection with netcat | 14:42 |
| dwidmann | I'm going to say yes. | 14:42 |
| dwidmann | @KubuntuJack | 14:42 |
| BluesKaj | ksal, not nessarily ...torrent clients use torrent sites as their hubs ... most p2p suse the gnutella or other nets | 14:43 |
| BluesKaj | suse=use | 14:43 |
| nyko | genii: héhé at work again ? | 14:43 |
| ksal | ;) | 14:43 |
| KubuntuJack | i should read before i ask ;) the wikipedia says that ahci is supported from kernel 2.6.19... | 14:43 |

| dwidmann | ksal: probably | 14:43 |
| BluesKaj | which client philipp_ ? | 14:43 |
| KubuntuJack | thanks dwidmann and genii | 14:44 |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: so you say it should be faster, how much so? | 14:44 |
| dwidmann | Last I checked it was the drive read-write speed that was the bottleneck anyway | 14:44 |
| philipp_ | blueskaj nc IP PORT | 14:45 |
| genii | nyko: Yes, at work | 14:45 |
| KubuntuJack | the reason i ask is because i've had some problems with my intel 875p motherboard, where AGP would not work. just trying to do my homework before payin g ,) | 14:45 |

| nyko | genii: this is french XD | 14:46 |
| KubuntuJack | dwidmann: ahci should support native command queing, (allows it to que up reads and writes to combine them to minimize head movement), should also support highr throughput, but don't know how much | 14:47 |
| KubuntuJack | dwidmann: what board and chipset did you get? | 14:49 |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: Intel DX38BT, North=x38, South=ICH9R | 14:49 |
| BluesKaj | philipp_, which peer to peer application are you trying to set up , they all use different tcp/udp ports , some can be changed to avoid blocking by ISPs ..that is why I ask | 14:50 |

| nyko | genii: lol XD :) | 14:51 |
| genii | nyko: Anyhow, if this is your mouse, these are good instructions | 14:51 |
| KubuntuJack | dwidmann: ok, that won't help me getting a p35 board. am i right to assume that you have to use ddr3 ram too? happy to hear that the ICH9R is working in any case | 14:51 |

| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: with this board yes, with many of the other x38 boards no, a lot of them are dual (ie: have both ddr2 and ddr3 slots), seeing as I was upgrading from a Socket 939 board with DDR1 mem though, I wanted to go straight DDR3 with support for up to 8GiB of RAM, so this is the board I ended up with | 14:52 |
| genii | nyko: http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.asp?m=277812&mpage=1&key=& | 14:53 |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: the price for DDR3 mem really has gone down a lot though, I got 2x1GiB sticks for $150 | 14:53 |
| Jucato | Jessica: how are you trying to open it? what command are you using? | 14:53 |

| Jessica | sudo kate /boot/grub/menu.list | 14:55 |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: If I were building and I were you I would consider going with a board with the x38 or x48 chipset, support for both the 45nm and 65nm procs | 14:55 |

| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: it does? Hmmmm, and here I was wondering about that | 14:58 |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: I reconsidered and went for the x38 when i wasn't sure | 14:58 |
| dwidmann | faster fsb didn't hurt either | 14:59 |

| === JanMalte_ is now known as JanMalte | ||
| nyko | KubuntuJack: yes | 15:00 |
| nyko | brb | 15:00 |
| KubuntuJack | dwidman: apparently the p5k board supports 1333 FSB, and ddr2 at 1066. | 15:00 |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: I know, but it was just the particular board I was looking at | 15:00 |
| KubuntuJack | i think the 1066 is an asus feature, otherwise the chipset support ddr2 up to 860 | 15:01 |
| dwidmann | *nod* I'm using ddr3 1333 | 15:02 |
| genii | KubuntuJack: During alternate cd install it stalled out trying to load some intl pcmcia driver, was required to go to busybox in another console and rename it, but oterwise install went fine | 15:02 |
| KubuntuJack | yeah, i would prefer that too :) | 15:02 |
| genii | KubuntuJack: I'm using OCZ ddr 800, overclocked without problems on that board (8Gb) | 15:03 |

| KubuntuJack | genii: i'll see what ram they have once I order. might be possible that i get ocz. probably 4 GB of dd2 1066 | 15:04 |
| KubuntuJack | another question is what gfx to get. am i right in assuming that nvidia have the best linux support? | 15:06 |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: looks like the main differences between x38 and p35 is that the x38 has pci-e gen 2 slots and a hardware memory prefetcher | 15:07 |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: unless you can find something with intel integrated ... and then it wouldn't perform as well as the nvidia anyway, stay away from the GeForce 9s for now | 15:07 |
| nyko | genii: now i have put gaming mouse g5 when she turn off my ps2 mouse not working | 15:07 |
| nyko | :( | 15:08 |
| KubuntuJack | dwidmann: i mean nvidia graphics cards not motherboards | 15:10 |
| genii | nyko: If I remember correctly from your old dmesg output, your G5 /dev/input was not event3 but possibly event5 | 15:10 |
| nyko | genii: ok then :P | 15:10 |
| genii | nyko: (as the link I gave you for xorg.conf G5 modification used event3) | 15:10 |
| nyko | genii: im confusing now | 15:10 |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: yeah, I know, but intel integrated graphics are supported OOTB with 3d is why I gave them a mention. | 15:10 |
| nyko | genii: o i see where i setevent 5 | 15:11 |
| nyko | o i see | 15:11 |
| genii | nyko: Perhaps check the contents of: dmesg for the exact event# to use | 15:11 |

| genii | KubuntuJack: On that same box I have a 7600GT which works great | 15:20 |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: you'll get much more bang for your buck probably if you don't go with the 7600, depending on how you plan to use it | 15:20 |
| KubuntuJack | dwidmann: GT or GTS ? | 15:20 |
| dwidmann | I've got the GT, but I hear the GTS performs significantly better | 15:21 |
| dwidmann | But for $100 the 8600GT wasn't a bad buy at all. | 15:21 |
| genii | dwidmann: Yes, that was a nice buy :) | 15:22 |
| KubuntuJack | the thing is that i rarely play games. i might wanna use 2:nd life so i suppose performance would be nic. am a musician, so most of what i do is related to music. am planning to run my win sequenser under wine. | 15:22 |
| dwidmann | genii: yup, outperforms my old 7900gtx most likely, and it uses no more power than the 7900gs (well, a little, very little) | 15:22 |
| KubuntuJack | i suppose to me good performance in wine, and 2:ndlife, and then low power consumption in order to make my new PC as quiet as possible... | 15:23 |
| dwidmann | I can hardly believe how much less power my new build uses than my old one ..... 100watts instead of 300watts on idle | 15:23 |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: I just found out about the noise end of things, my old case was a lot quieter, but I like this new one better (Lian Li ftw) ... need to replace its noisy case fans though, so I just ordered some | 15:24 |

| KubuntuJack | ok, thanks a lot for the help. Now i just got to decide which one out of a bwildering amouunt of p5k baords i am gonna get. Which is the right channel for discussing gfx cards and X/wine performance ? | 15:42 |
| genii | KubuntuJack: Wine -> #winehq | 15:42 |
| KubuntuJack | and xfree ? | 15:43 |
| genii | KubuntuJack: PErhaps #xorg for that, but I don't know for sure since don't normally hang out there | 15:45 |
| KubuntuJack | dwiddman: did you have gfx problems with the 8600GT booting the live CD ? | 15:46 |
| KubuntuJack | genii: thanks, yeah #xorg sound right. | 15:46 |
| Azzco | I've only noticed issues with 8800 GTS.. | 15:47 |
| KubuntuJack | Azzco: so the 8600GT might be a better choice than 7600GS or 8600GTS ? | 15:49 |
| lovre | hi all | 15:50 |
| Azzco | KubuntuJack: I haven't got my hands over a 8600 at all so I'm not sure about that, I can only sya that one should stay away from 8800 for a while | 15:50 |
| lovre | is is possible in dolphin, when i press F4, instead of opening Konsole, to open some other terminal emulator software (lkike yakuake)? | 15:50 |
| === darkwizzard_ is now known as DarkWizzard | ||
| MrUnagi | is it better to dist upgrade now and then dist upgrade again when it comes time for hardy............or is it best to fight the massively slow connections on the 25th | 15:53 |
| genii | MrUnagi: Since they usually freeze the release I imagine a dist upgrade sometime shortly before official release date would be sufficient | 15:55 |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: 8600gt worked fine after I installed the nvidia driver | 15:56 |
| genii | lovre: Perhaps set yakuake as default Terminal Emulator in System Settings ... Default Applications | 15:57 |
| KubuntuJack | Azzco: sorry didn't see the 8800GTS, thought you typed 8600 GTS ;) | 15:57 |
| dwidmann | also .... | 15:58 |
| KubuntuJack | gonna go and ask in xorg ;) thanks for the help guys | 15:58 |
| dwidmann | !tab | 15:58 |
| ubotu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 15:58 |
| MikeyLDS | hey guys ... whats a good linux distro for running a server ... I wanna host my own website :P | 15:59 |
| KubuntuJack | dwidmann: cool didn't know about the tab. will save me lot's of typing ;) | 15:59 |
| MikeyLDS | !fusion | 16:00 |
| 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 | 16:00 |
| genii | MikeyLDS: We're mostly biased towards ubuntu server of course :) | 16:00 |
| dwidmann | indeed | 16:01 |
| KubuntuJack | acutally one question appropriate for here. how bg and what are the problems of booting and installing with a nvidea gfx card. should be able to get through it, since it's normally just once in a while that I have to do that. does it not support vga/svga ? | 16:03 |
| Troofy | what is the most used ftp client ? | 16:03 |
| * dwidmann uses ftp for ftp | 16:03 | |
| genii | Troofy: dwidmann is right. But I imagine you want something graphical. Konqueror is often used | 16:04 |
| * KubuntuJack loves konqueror | 16:05 | |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: which nvidia gfx card in particular, it varies depending on whether vesa/nv support it or not | 16:05 |
| KubuntuJack | t | 16:05 |
| dwidmann | filezilla isn't bad | 16:05 |
| Troofy | ok | 16:05 |
| Troofy | genii i doesnt saves pwd and sites and usernames | 16:05 |
| KubuntuJack | aha, the ones i had in mind were 7600GS 8600GT/GTS | 16:06 |
| Troofy | genii konquieror | 16:06 |
| MikeyLDS | genii, i tried to install a ubuntu server both x86 and x64 but it said my cpu was too old ... but it's an E6400! lol | 16:06 |
| MikeyLDS | it's only a year old | 16:06 |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: 7600gt is vesa/nv safe, the other two aren't. the other two you'd have to install with alternate (ie: no live), boot into recovery and install nvidia, run nvidia-xconfig and from there on you're golden, worth it though. | 16:07 |
| dwidmann | MikeyLDS: and I presume it would call my Q9300 a dinosaur then o.O | 16:07 |
| KubuntuJack | dwidmann: aha, so it's a question of if the x vesa driver supports the chipset or not. so if i get a new card, and have problems, chances are that next year it will be supported by a live CD too..? | 16:07 |
| MikeyLDS | lol dwidmann | 16:07 |
| MikeyLDS | i don't even know what the Q9300 is | 16:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | MikeyLDS, quad core | 16:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | or something | 16:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | or not :D | 16:08 |
| * Daisuke_Ido pulls things out of thin air | 16:08 | |
| MikeyLDS | OMG! :( it cost the same as I paid a year ago and is MUCH more powerful :'''''''''''''''''( | 16:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | oh hey, i did guess right, it actually is a quad core | 16:09 |
| dwidmann | KubuntuJack: maybe, I don't know though | 16:09 |
| MikeyLDS | i have 2x 2.13ghz | 16:09 |
| MikeyLDS | he has 4x 2.5ghz :( <<< same price as I paid | 16:09 |
| dwidmann | MikeyLDS: :) | 16:09 |
| MikeyLDS | :( | 16:09 |
| genii | Troofy: The filezilla as dwidmann suggests, other popular are fireftp extension of firefox, kasablanca, kftpgrabber | 16:10 |
| * MikeyLDS plans to steal it :P | 16:10 | |
| MikeyLDS | could i run a server off regular desktop kubuntu? | 16:11 |
| * dwidmann didn't like kasablanca, kftpgrabbertoo well due to various stability/usability issues | 16:11 | |
| dwidmann | MikeyLDS: you probably can | 16:12 |
| KubuntuJack | ok, thanks again everyone. off to bother the xorg guys ;) | 16:12 |

| MikeyLDS | probably dwidmann? I kinda need to know for sure! lol | 16:12 |
| dwidmann | MikeyLDS: to know for *sure* you'd have to try it :P | 16:12 |
| MikeyLDS | whats the major advantage of the actual server distro? | 16:13 |
| genii | Troofy: I like fireftp myself, and it's platform independent | 16:13 |
| genii | MikeyLDS: No gui | 16:13 |
| dwidmann | genii: filezilla, and ftp are relatively platform independent too, and I figure konqueror within a year probably will be too ehehehe | 16:14 |
| Troofy | genii thanks | 16:15 |
| MikeyLDS | well I'd prefer I gui so I'll stick with a desktop version and use terminal for the server coding | 16:16 |
| genii | MikeyLDS: The default server install also installs a preconfigured Apache2-MySQL-PHP, and the kernel can see > 4Gb of ram as well being optimised for multithreading as opposed to normal performance optimisations of generic kernel | 16:17 |
| dwidmann | genii: which reminds me, I really do need to get around to compiling myself a new kernel with some things set straight ... | 16:18 |
| MikeyLDS | hmmm, thanks genii | 16:19 |
| MikeyLDS | bbl ... time to switch from vista to kubuntu again :P | 16:20 |

| jussi01 | jimmy51vinsky: correct | 18:12 |
| lovre | does any1 use yakuake? | 18:12 |
| jimmy51vinsky | ok, thanks. the AMD threw me off | 18:12 |
| jussi01 | lovre: yes, I do | 18:13 |
| nyko | genii: 2 | 18:13 |
| genii | nyko: Ok. then to disable it for now, : cat -1 | sudo tee -a /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend | 18:14 |
| lovre | jussi01: maybe you could help me with something. I am trying to make dolphin bump yakuake instead of Konsole when F4 pressed. Do you know if there is a way to bump yakuake from KRun dialog? | 18:14 |
| Bredren | genii: thank for you help :) | 18:14 |
| lovre | jussi01: if there is, than i can use it to alter dolphin source code. | 18:14 |
| genii | Bredren: You're welcome | 18:14 |
| jussi01 | lovre: its really actually simple | 18:14 |
| lovre | jussi01: do you care to elaborat | 18:15 |
| lovre | e | 18:15 |
| jussi01 | lovre: just go to system settings -> default apps -Terminal emulator | 18:15 |
| genii | nyko: I think we need to add a line to /etc/rc.local so that it happens every boot in this case | 18:15 |
| lovre | jussi01: that did not seem to work for me... does it work for you? have you tried it? | 18:15 |
| lovre | jussi01: do i need to restart X or something? | 18:15 |
| jussi01 | lovre: likely | 18:16 |
| lovre | jussi01: the problem is, konsole is being ran every time, but yakuake is allways running in background. Setting it as default terminal emulator will make the system try to run it every time it was supposed to, but yakuake does not respond to that since its allready running. I need a command to bump it, like the F12 button does. do you understand what i mean? | 18:17 |
| nyko | genii: ok where i had that ? | 18:18 |
| nyko | genii: like 10 min i play now and nothing sleep for now | 18:18 |
| genii | nyko: so then, alt-f2 and: kdesu kate /etc/rc.local add just above the line exit 0 te same line we just did now: echo -1 | sudo tee -a /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend | 18:18 |
| genii | Although I can't recall if sudo is actually required there | 18:19 |
| nyko | genii: that work anyway | 18:20 |
| lovre | i need a shell command for bumping yakuake | 18:20 |
| nyko | genii: | 18:21 |
| nyko | exit 0 | 18:21 |
| nyko | echo -1 | sudo tee -a /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend | 18:21 |
| nyko | like that ? | 18:21 |
| nyko | on 3 line ? | 18:21 |
| jussi01 | lovre: I just looked into it, it doesnt seem to have one (at least the man pages are quite bare) | 18:21 |
| jussi01 | !paste | nyko | 18:21 |
| ubotu | nyko: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 18:21 |

| lovre | need help installing dolphin. I finished "make", how do i install it now? | 18:50 |
| jimmy51vinsky | make install? | 18:50 |
| lovre | i have dolphin installed allready, and i would like to install modified version over it | 18:50 |
| jussio1 | lovre: what does the readme say? ;) | 18:50 |
| lovre | maybe it doesnt want to be installed because i allready have it installed' | 18:51 |
| lovre | make install should do. but doesnt.. | 18:51 |
| jussio1 | lovre: that sounds right. | 18:52 |
| p_quarles | lovre: if make install doesn't work, something went wrong with the earlier steps -- check the logs | 18:52 |
| jussio1 | lovre: once its made you should be able to run it from that locatiion anyway | 18:52 |
| lovre | jussio1: by running what file? | 18:53 |
| jussio1 | lovre: Im guessing the dolphin executable, it will be somewhere in the directory where you did make | 18:54 |
| lovre | jussio1: this is the ls output of the directory : http://pastebin.com/m7f30ba1b | 18:54 |
| jussi01 | lovre: hrmm... did it create its own dir one level down perhaps? | 18:55 |
| jimmy51vinsky | ok, sda1 is not mounted, and i still can't resize it | 18:55 |
| jimmy51vinsky | is it because it's active? | 18:55 |
| p_quarles | lovre: if make install didn't work (again!) that means that make didn't work, and you don't actually have a binary executable -- you need to find out what went wrong | 18:55 |
| lovre | p_quarles: here is the make output. http://pastebin.com/m157cea8e can you please take a look and see, i think it went ok | 18:57 |
| p_quarles | lovre: okay, I see no errors there -- what happened when you ran make install? | 18:57 |
| nyko | genii: i have to reboot after ? | 19:00 |
| lovre | p_quarles: just a second. | 19:00 |
| lovre | p_quarles: im trying again | 19:00 |
| lovre | p_quarles: im worried cuz i have dolphin installed allready. Should it just overwrite? | 19:00 |
| jimmy51vinsky | should i just give up on the kubuntu CD and try to make a partedmagic USB key? | 19:00 |
| p_quarles | jimmy51vinsky: the live CD shouldn't normally mount any drives anyway, so I'm not sure what to tell you; trying somethign other than qtparted couldn't hurt -- it's an old-ish program | 19:02 |
| genii | nyko: No, since we manually made the change for this time. Unless the mouse was dead when you made the command, in that case to reboot. | 19:02 |
| jimmy51vinsky | does the live cd have another partition resizing method? | 19:02 |
| lovre | p_quarles: this is the output of "make install": http://pastebin.com/m352f52e5 | 19:02 |
| lovre | p_quarles: maybe i should sudo it... | 19:03 |
| p_quarles | lovre: yes, you have to sudo it | 19:03 |
| p_quarles | if you didn't, that's the entire problem ;) | 19:03 |
| lovre | p_quarles: omg, im like, stupid or something | 19:03 |
| p_quarles | lovre: no worries; after you run it, run "which dolphin" -- you should see executables in /usr/bin and in /usr/local/bin -- if so, everything went good | 19:04 |
| lovre | p_quarles: i just see /usr/bin/dolphin | 19:05 |
| p_quarles | oops -- make that "which -a dolphin" | 19:05 |
| lovre | same result | 19:05 |
| p_quarles | hmm -- so what was the result of make install when run as root? | 19:06 |
| lovre | p_quarles: it installed dolphin. Now i have it running, seems so. But i dont see the bookmarks nor the info bar anymore | 19:07 |
| lovre | p_quarles: donno... | 19:07 |
| lovre | p_quarles: ok, thank you for your help, i will try to build it once more. Thank you | 19:07 |
| lovre | p_quarles: cya | 19:07 |
| p_quarles | lovre: maybe the make file was setup to overwrite the already installed dolphin ... weird | 19:07 |
| lovre | p_quarles: it was, it overwrited it. | 19:08 |
| lovre | p_quarles: where do i set the default file manager? | 19:09 |
| lovre | p_quarles: it reseted it to konquerror | 19:09 |
| p_quarles | lovre: off the top of my head, it's kcontrol > components > file associations > inode | 19:09 |
| jussio1 | !dolphin | lovre | 19:09 |
| ubotu | lovre: Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. | 19:09 |
| p_quarles | ubotu raises a good point there -- try "which -a d3lphin" | 19:10 |
| fdoving | i think the dolphin in kubuntu is de3lphin, it's patched to be named dolphin | 19:11 |
| lovre | fdoving: same result, /usr/bin/d3lphin | 19:12 |
| p_quarles | fdoving: my thought was that the "dolphin" executable is perhaps a symlink | 19:12 |
| lovre | p_quarles: how do i show bookmarks and info folders? | 19:12 |
| p_quarles | lovre: I use konqueror, so I can't help with that one | 19:13 |

| stefan-f | Hello all :) | 19:25 |
| Odd-rationale | hello | 19:25 |
| stefan-f | what is the best way to do an image from a production system that can not be disabled? | 19:26 |
| fdoving | rsync maybe? | 19:26 |
| stefan-f | I found partimage but that there is necassary to shut down the server. | 19:26 |
| genii | I agree with fdoving on the rsync for live machine backup | 19:28 |
| stefan-f | can I get the hole OS with all applications with rsync? | 19:28 |
| stefan-f | fdoving? | 19:28 |
| fdoving | yes, leave out /proc, /sys, and /dev - or something like that. | 19:28 |
| fdoving | then test and make adjustments :) | 19:29 |
| stefan-f | hmm | 19:31 |
| fdoving | stefan-f: there is of course drdb (raid 1 over tcp/ip) - which is nice if you want to mirror say / on a server to live on two boxes. | 19:31 |
| fdoving | I use it with vservers | 19:31 |
| stefan-f | yes, of course, it seems my next project is a mailcluster and I will use drbd there... | 19:32 |
| stefan-f | drbd is in that sitation with that machine no option | 19:33 |

| lovre | another problem. When i try to run Dolphin with Katapult, it says error, cannot find executable. | 19:46 |
| === JoshOvki is now known as Josh0vki | ||
| lovre | but when i run "dolphin" from konsole, it works ok | 19:46 |
| Seren | did you try d3lphin ? | 19:47 |
| === Josh0vki is now known as JoshOvki | ||
| lovre | Seren: yes, not working | 19:47 |
| lovre | Seren: seems its catalog is not sorted properly | 19:47 |
| === JoshOvki is now known as Josh0vki | ||
| Seren | you could try to erase the catalogs | 19:48 |
| === Josh0vki is now known as JoshOvki | ||
| Seren | or uninstall/reinstall katapult | 19:49 |
| lovre | Seren: any idea how to erase the catalogs? | 19:49 |
| lovre | Seren: maybe it will update catalogs in time | 19:49 |
| Seren | if you try "locate katapult" you'll find a list of catalogs | 19:49 |
| Seren | but I have no idea if it is safe to move them around | 19:49 |
| lovre | Seren: it shows the right icon whe i write DOLPHIN in it, just wont start | 19:50 |
| Seren | that's pretty weird | 19:50 |
| lovre | Seren: hmm, i dont see catalog candidate file in locate output | 19:50 |
| lovre | Seren: .so files are compiled, am i right? | 19:51 |
| Seren | try file *.so | 19:52 |
| Seren | it will tell you something about the type | 19:52 |
| Seren | you might be right I dunno :) | 19:52 |

| lovre | command not found | 19:52 |

| lovre | Seren: ... so i dont know where it stores its catalogues | 19:53 |
| Seren | I am trying to guess | 19:53 |
| lovre | Seren: it cant store it in a binary file... | 19:53 |
| Seren | the only files I opened where not applications catalogs | 19:53 |
| lovre | locate katapult | grep catalog | 19:54 |
| Seren | it returns about 20 entry on my installation | 19:55 |
| lovre | none of those seem to be what i need. :( | 19:55 |
| Seren | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62061/ | 19:55 |
| Seren | yeah I agree | 19:55 |
| Seren | I don't know where the information is stored | 19:56 |
| Seren | in the katapult options | 19:56 |
| Seren | did you try "catalog application by executable names" ? | 19:56 |
| Seren | it might add "dolphin" to your list | 19:57 |
| lovre | hmm | 19:57 |
| Seren | it is in Catalogs\Program catalog | 19:57 |
| lovre | i see | 19:57 |

| lovre | dolphin %i %m -caption %c | 19:58 |
| lovre | that is the string used to run dolphin when folder is clicked i suppose | 19:58 |
| lovre | :S | 19:58 |
| Seren | from kdemenuedit | 19:59 |
| Seren | I see that I am running : d3lphin %i -caption "%c" "%u" | 19:59 |
| Seren | when I click on the link | 19:59 |
| Seren | dolphin is a symbolic link to d3lphin | 20:00 |
| lovre | Seren: you are right. I solved it | 20:01 |
| Seren | I don't know if it has any consequence on the way katapult work | 20:01 |
| lovre | Seren: the problem was, there was dolphin and d3lphin. dolphin was pointing to nothing since there is no dolphin. I deleted it and now running "d3lphin" from katapult works | 20:02 |
| lovre | im used to writing "dolphin" but i will get used to it | 20:02 |
| lovre | i just have to write d3 :D | 20:02 |
| Troofy | how to chant apt to use a proxy instead , to download apps? | 20:02 |

| Nyad | Hi. I was just wondering about this. KDE4.1 is scheduled for either July or August Im not too sure when. and Hardy is out in 21days. so then we won't be getting 4.1 and will have to upgrade ourselves right? | 20:14 |
| Seren | Nyad: you are right | 20:14 |
| adz21c | Nyad: i would think thats the case | 20:14 |
| Nyad | :( | 20:14 |
| adz21c | Nyad: however u would think the same for 4.0 on gutsy so maybe someone will ppa it | 20:15 |
| Seren | kde 4.1 will probably be the default for intrepid ibex | 20:15 |
| Nyad | ppa? | 20:15 |

| === tburdick is now known as bfrog | ||
| Troofy | how to know what distro or os iam using? | 20:17 |
| Nyad | yeah I have 4.03 but a number of things don't work | 20:17 |
| Seren | troofy : cat /etc/apt/sources.list should tell you in which repositories you are taking your packets | 20:18 |
| Seren | and uname -a which kernel you are running | 20:19 |
| stefan-f | Troffy: lsb_release -a | 20:20 |
| Seren | if those commands does not work you are not on a Unix based system :p | 20:20 |
| pteague | how do i get kde to realize that i'm not a part of the mshome workgroup? my /etc/samba/smb.conf doesn't even have a reference to mshome | 20:20 |
| Seren | pteague : "launch "kcontrol" there is a samba section | 20:20 |

| venik | I am struggling with PERMISSIONS for a USB hard drive. The fstab entry for it reads: | 20:21 |
| venik | /dev/sdd1 /media/LACIE auto users,atime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0 | 20:22 |
| pteague | Seren> ok, looking in there without clicking the administrator mode button the workgroup is the correct workgroup that is in my /etc/samba/smb.conf file... which is *not* mshome | 20:22 |
| venik | but when I try to write to it, it denies me access | 20:22 |
| venik | I tried: any user can read or write, etc., but nothing changes | 20:22 |
| Seren | pteague : I think that kubuntu (kde ?) use another file next to smb.conf to configure samba ( but no idea where it is, in .kde maybe ) | 20:23 |
| pteague | Seren> in network settings -> domain name system tab maybe? that's set to be exactly the same as my smb workgroup :( | 20:24 |
| Seren | pteague : FYI I didn't manage to install a printer which is on the windows machine next to me, so I am probably not the best person to help you. | 20:25 |
| Seren | ( It works once and now I can't even "see" the printer ) | 20:25 |
| pteague | sad thing is this was much easier to do under gnome... | 20:25 |
| pteague | unfortunately if i put in the correct workgroup name & the correct server name apparently there is no way in hell that it can scan those or give me a list of options... i automatically have to know exactly the name of the printer... i can't even connect via smb protocol in konqueror (why the hell does dolphin keep wanting this privilege?) to give me a list of printers... it'll only give me a list of shared folders | 20:28 |
| venik | any help available for writing/erasing permission on a USB external hard drive? It refuses to allow me writing privileges | 20:28 |
| Seren | venik : your external drive is formated in ntfs probably | 20:28 |

| venik | Vfat | 20:28 |
| Seren | can you natively write to vfat with ubuntu ? | 20:29 |
| venik | it USED to work just fine, and I have not reformatted it. But I did have to modify the fstab file, since the system started ignoring this drive | 20:29 |

| Ch1ppy | hey, I'm having a trouble with my video; when I try to play it (in any video player) the video will not play; I can hear sound, but I only get a screen with random colours on it for an image. Can anyone help me out? | 22:26 |
| cracko | hmm maybe problem with codecs ?? | 22:27 |
| Ch1ppy | no; I've had this problem before, and it goes away if I restart | 22:27 |
| Ch1ppy | however, restarting seems like overkill as a solution ;) | 22:27 |
| jack_spratt | not enough vram? | 22:28 |
| Ch1ppy | I've got more than enough | 22:28 |
| Ch1ppy | oh hey; video works in mplayer, but not in kaffeine, vlc, Movie Player or gxine | 22:29 |
| Ch1ppy | still, I'd like to get it working in those others; I strongly dislike mplayer | 22:29 |
