| basy | hi what can i use to capture avi from my webcamera in kubuntu... | 00:00 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | which is the default in hardy | 00:00 |
| _myrtille_ | pteague: just understood what you really meant (probably): It's hidden somewhere in the gamesfolder | 00:00 |
| linux3r | AmyRose: you do tatos? | 00:02 |
| ames | Hello everyone, I just installed Kubuntu 7.10 (via alt.) on an ond eMac G4. Now before the login screen appears, the screen goes black. X crash? I lookes at logs but dodn't know what to look for, so... Is there a know problem with eMacs? | 00:07 |
| pteague | the volume wheel on my media keyboard doesn't seem to be working correctly... any ideas? it pops up with the volume adjust window, but only changes it by about 10% in either direction | 00:08 |
| ames | I think you can change that in keyboard shortcuts | 00:09 |
| ames | at least in xubuntu you can | 00:09 |
| ames | if you tweak the command | 00:10 |
| pteague | k, i'll look through keyboard shortcuts... in gnome it just works... | 00:11 |
| axel | Hello! How to remove packets installed by using "apt-get build-dep ..." and "apt-get -b source ..."? | 00:13 |
| ipx | When I use KDE-apps on my gnome environment in my newly reinstalled ubuntu, my text gets VERY small and almost unreadable. I've googled a bit but didnt find anything? | 00:19 |
| ipx | Ive tested Amarok and Smplayer | 00:19 |
| axel | ipx: Perhaps the kde-control-center may help. | 00:19 |
| ipx | So you're suggesting me to install it too? | 00:20 |
| ipx | Im using gnome | 00:20 |
| axel | ipx: Yes. | 00:20 |
| axel | ipx: Should not matter. | 00:20 |
| ipx | Cant find it in the repos | 00:20 |
| ipx | kcontrol, found it | 00:21 |
| ipx | :-) | 00:21 |
| ipx | lol. the fonts in there is as small as smplayer and amarok. almost unreadable :/ | 00:22 |
| axel | ipx: I'd give it a try. I have read that this could help, but never tried it. | 00:22 |
| ipx | Great, it works! | 00:22 |
| ipx | :) | 00:22 |
| ipx | They were at 10 in fontsize :/ | 00:22 |
| axel | ipx: In case it is really to small: My father helped himself by using a magnifying glass - untill I showed him how to do that with the 3D-Desktop-Effects. | 00:24 |
| axel | ipx: just to tell the little anekdote. | 00:24 |
| ubuntu | hi | 00:25 |
| === ubuntu is now known as SinNiji | ||
| _myrtille_ | hi :) | 00:25 |
| SinNiji | ^_^ | 00:25 |
| ipx | axel: Haha ;-) | 00:25 |
| axel | ipx: at leas one feature of Ubuntu he likes to use. But that's an other, long story. | 00:26 |
| * arriesp gonna go | 00:28 | |
| SinNiji | hum.. Envy tool works on Kubuntu? well.. this is my 1st run on Kubuntu, infact I am still on LiveCD (Installing!53%) | 00:29 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | envy is neither recommended, nor supported. | 00:30 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | the recommended method of installing restricted drivers is the restricted driver manager, which is already built into ubuntu and kubuntu. | 00:30 |
| SinNiji | I know but the problem is that I got a 8800 gts 512mb | 00:31 |
| axel | SinNiji: Why use Envy when you can install the driver from the repository easily? | 00:31 |
| SinNiji | so to load up Kubuntu I got forced use Safe Graphic mode, and the Manager dont see my GPU | 00:31 |
| axel | SinNiji: And what's the problem with this card/ chipset? | 00:31 |
| SinNiji | The manager dont see the GPU, and I am forced to install them manually.. and I am a little noob with Linux :/ | 00:32 |
| axel | SinNiji: That's not a problem. "No Master fell from heaven" (German Proverb) | 00:34 |
| SinNiji | I am not scared :D I will fix in some way | 00:35 |
| axel | SinNiji: Some links that might help: | 00:35 |
| axel | http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd | 00:35 |
| SinNiji | Learn never is a problem (Italian Proverb) | 00:35 |
| SinNiji | Mh! I will check it right now! Thanks | 00:36 |

| axel | http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/X11R7.0/doc/html/radeon.4.html | 00:36 |
| SinNiji | (8800 gts 512 is an nVidia, not ATI) | 00:37 |
| axel | SinNiji: Sory. | 00:37 |
| kkathman | where is the best place to view the kubuntu settings for the firewall | 00:37 |
| SinNiji | Its ok, its ok! | 00:37 |
| axel | SinNiji: The command "lspci | grep VGA" shows what the system thinks what's your graphics card. | 00:39 |
| SinNiji | Its says.. "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 0600 (rev a2)" | 00:40 |
| axel | SinNiji: At least it recognizes that nVidia is the manufacturer. | 00:40 |
| SinNiji | Hahah.. Yeah. Thats something, at last:P | 00:40 |
| axel | SinNiji: If the drivers from the repository don't work: http://www.nvidia.it/object/linux_display_ia32_169.12_it.html | 00:41 |
| SinNiji | The Italian page too :) Very Kind | 00:42 |
| axel | SinNiji: I'd prefer to try the drivers from the repository. | 00:43 |
| SinNiji | I think I will try the repository one! | 00:43 |
| axel | SinNiji: "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new" should do it. | 00:43 |
| SinNiji | I will try them after this reboot. Thanks and forgive me:) | 00:44 |

| pteague | do i need timidity running if i'm using alsa? | 00:52 |
| tinin | pteague no, timidity is for midi emulation | 00:54 |
| pteague | hmm... i'm not sure how often i actually use midi emulation... i'm guessing that should be a daemon is should be able to shut down without worrying about it causing problems? | 00:55 |
| tinin | only if you need karaokes or guitar and drums software | 00:55 |
| tinin | i need it | 00:55 |
| pteague | nope... so it doesn't affect playing those old midi audio files does it? | 00:56 |
| pteague | ok, i'm forgetting something... how do i get the web shortcuts to work in konqueror? like gg for google | 01:09 |
| Jucato | pteague: they should be working by default. the default delimeter is a colon, so gg:something | 01:10 |
| pteague | ah, that's what i was doing wrong... i was trying to do `gg something` | 01:10 |
| Jucato | pteague: you can set it to use space instead | 01:11 |
| Jucato | Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Web Shortcuts | 01:11 |
| axel | SinNiji: Then configure the X-server by "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and restart the X-Server with [Strg] + [Alt] + [BackSpace] | 01:12 |

| mot_ | i have onboard sound plus an audigy card | 01:24 |
| mot_ | asoundconf list lists both cards | 01:24 |
| mot_ | i tried doing asoundconf set-default-card and setting my Audigy2 as default | 01:24 |
| mot_ | however the setting won't "stick" and everytime i reboot sound by default plays out of my internal speaker - any idea how to fix this? | 01:24 |
| Dr_willis | mot_, fast and dirty way. Put the command in your rc.local file | 01:28 |
| mot_ | Dr_willis, yea but doesn't rc.local get executed after device detection and boot? :P | 01:30 |

| patoe1 | ok i have a question.... if anyones here | 02:03 |
| mEck0 | Jucato: yeah thats right | 02:03 |
| patoe1 | im a nooobs and new to linux and i got Kubuntu and im not really sure how to install anything :( | 02:04 |
| Dr_willis | patoe1, use the 'add/remove programs...' iconitem :) for many things. | 02:05 |
| Dr_willis | which is a front end to the apt-get system, adept is a more complex front end to apt-get. | 02:06 |
| patoe1 | it wont let me open add/remove | 02:06 |
| Dr_willis | or use the terminal. 'sudo apt-get install WHATEVERpackage.' | 02:06 |
| Dr_willis | You are using your initial user? or did you make another one? | 02:06 |
| yotux | I just install gusty and I have not sound | 02:06 |
| patoe1 | "Another process is using the packaging system database (proboly some other adept application ort apt-get aptitude)." | 02:08 |
| Jucato | !aptfix | 02:08 |
| ubotu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 02:08 |
| patoe1 | i dont have a clue to do with that code | 02:08 |
| Dr_willis | try this in a !terminal | 02:08 |
| Dr_willis | !terminal | 02:08 |

| Dr_willis | :) | 02:15 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Fritzel | ||
| Dr_willis | Im usingit hardy now. | 02:16 |

| Jucato | Fritzel: you might get varying answers. you can try asking in #ubuntu+1 | 02:16 |
| Dr_willis | if its on a test system.. its ok. if its on the 'it must work for my company/school' i would refrain. | 02:16 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | it's stable enough to use. it's not google-stable beta, but it's also not microsoft-stable beta | 02:16 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | definitely not on a production system | 02:16 |

| patoe1 | how do i get the newer version....i DL'd it today?? | 02:35 |
| Dr_willis | patoe1, you downaded the 'lts' version wich is the 'stable' for businesses type version | 02:36 |
| patoe1 | err.. | 02:36 |
| Dr_willis | the next LTS release is due out in a few weeks/days | 02:36 |
| patoe1 | any ideas of waht i should DL and install | 02:36 |
| Dr_willis | depends on how brave you want to be. :) | 02:36 |
| genii | patoe1: Wait until after the 24th and then get the 8.04 release | 02:37 |
| patoe1 | well im a brave guy this isnt my good computer | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | Its not like its going to hurt the pc.. the worse thing that can happenis you have to reinstall. | 02:37 |
| patoe1 | the computers blank anyways | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | Hardy - is the next release 8.04 version - You are using a version that is 2 yrs old. ;) | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | there are beta cd's of it out now. | 02:38 |
| cuzntx | we use computors at work that their time runs backwards | 02:38 |
| patoe1 | im confuzed :p | 02:38 |
| Dr_willis | patoe1, every 6 months the next releae of ubuntu is released. | 02:38 |
| Dr_willis | http://www.kubuntu.org/download.php shows 2 versions.. you donloaded the older one it seems | 02:39 |
| patoe1 | i need kubuntu though kuz ubuntu didnt work on this computer | 02:39 |
| Dr_willis | if kubuntuworks,, ubuntu should work. | 02:39 |
| Dr_willis | they are identical at the core. | 02:39 |
| patoe1 | hmm | 02:39 |
| patoe1 | well it didnt | 02:39 |
| patoe1 | but this works | 02:39 |
| patoe1 | i like the blue better anyways ;) | 02:39 |
| patoe1 | so gutsy? | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis | so you get to decide.. try to get the old version going, try the newer 'gutsy' release. or try the SOON TO BE RELESED version hardy - at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/hardy/beta/ | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis | Gutsy is a safe bet. You can always reinstall/upgrade in 20 days or so | 02:40 |
| patoe1 | well what do you sugest? | 02:41 |
| * genii twitces | 02:41 | |
| genii | My H key seems recalcitrant today | 02:41 |
| Dr_willis | Im testing out hardy. If your machine is a total test box, and you dont do any real work with it.. You could try hardy. | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | if you NEED it to work.. stick to gutsy | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | if you are running a company and want to pay for comercial support - stick with the dapper LTS | 02:42 |
| patoe1 | well my good computer is getting work done on it and i wnat this one running i cant do a whole lot on it but i wnat to watch like youtube messenger and blah blah | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | youtubeis not 'work' :) | 02:43 |
| Dr_willis | hardy can do all that.. as can gutsy. | 02:43 |
| patoe1 | haha | 02:43 |
| patoe1 | yea | 02:43 |
| Dr_willis | but hardy is undergoing updates - it can 'break' at times. | 02:43 |
| patoe1 | so ill try gutsy so i dont have to worry?? | 02:43 |

| epimeth | kkathman: the smb client can see any workgroup... | 02:54 |
| epimeth | kkathman: do you want to share folders or see shared ones? | 02:54 |
| genii | kkathman: If you have a regular install it won't have one, since it will just use smbclient only | 02:54 |

| kkathman | epimeth: well ya I can access my windows box on the network, but cant see any other boxes on the network | 02:55 |
| mEck0 | Hi! is there a good dictionary app for KDE? I haven't found any in by default so thought I will install one. btw, is there even ones that you can use offline without network connection? that would be nice | 02:55 |
| genii | yotux: The short answer is yes | 02:55 |
| epimeth | kkathman: you should see all workgroups on the network | 02:55 |
| kkathman | its weird I can smb:/servername in konq - and its shows up everything, but can just type smbl:/ | 02:55 |
| kkathman | smb:/ | 02:55 |
| NickPresta | mEck0, there is kdict, which has the ability for offline usage. | 02:56 |
| yotux | genii: found a patch | 02:56 |
| kkathman | epimeth: I dont - it says it cant find any | 02:56 |
| yotux | but it states that i need kernel source | 02:56 |
| kkathman | well ok - now it seems to be working :) | 02:57 |
| kkathman | lol | 02:57 |
| mEck0 | NickPresta: yes, there exists one, thx a lot!! | 02:57 |

| bobleny | Does anyone know of a way to edit ISO images? | 03:01 |
| Dr_willis | bobleny, kiso - i think can do that | 03:02 |
| Dr_willis | depends on what you want to edit i guess | 03:02 |
| mEck0 | NickPresta: founded some info now.... | 03:03 |
| stdin | you can always do it the manual way: mount it, copy it's contents to another folder, modify the files, then recreate the ISO | 03:03 |
| NickPresta | mEck0, I believe you would install dictd and related dict-* packages. Have dictd running and then open up Kdict. In the settings, change the server to localhost (on the port dictd is running) and it should work. | 03:03 |
| epimeth | kkathman: mysterious? have you ever *tried* to access a workgroup using 9x / me ? | 03:03 |
| NickPresta | mEck0, check out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=145949 | 03:03 |
| kkathman | epimeth: sadly, yes :) | 03:04 |
| bobleny | mEck0: I tried that, but I wasn't able to copy the files...I can mount it ok, but even, sudo cp /path/to/mounted/iso /another/dir/ says it wont do it... | 03:05 |

| kamui | is there a way to remove the half configured locales package? | 03:17 |

| Slynderdale | MrJoey: I meant in the terminal. LIke run command | 03:23 |
| machinatoor | I'll take that as a yes, I ran a linux game (savage 2) and when it crashed the screen started flashing black every couple oof seconds and anything clickable loses all text and graphics. Rebooting does not fix. Any Ideas? | 03:24 |
| MrJoey | What does it do? What's the difference between "run kwrite" and "kwrite"? | 03:24 |
| MrJoey | machinatoor> Try a Live CD and see if the problem goes away. If not, you may have a damaged video card. | 03:25 |

| MrJoey | If you want to run a command in the background, you can type "command &", then disown | 03:36 |
| mogger | I just installed Kubuntu and the package manager says firefox is already installed but i dont see it in the internet menu in the K menu. Where is it and how do i launch it? | 03:36 |
| MrJoey | That will keep the detached process from quitting when the terminal session is ended | 03:36 |
| metbsd | i need kde4 plz | 03:36 |
| NickPresta | metbsd, Feisty doesn't have KDE4 packages, as far as I know. | 03:36 |
| metbsd | NickPresta: so what do i do | 03:37 |
| metbsd | isi 10G enough for kubuntu? | 03:37 |
| MrJoey | I guess uninstall KDE 3, upgrade to gutsy, and install KDE 4 | 03:37 |
| epimeth | metbsd: totally | 03:37 |
| NickPresta | metbsd, you have 2 choices, I guess. Install Gutsy/Hardy and grab KDE 4, or stick with Feisty. | 03:37 |
| MrJoey | By uninstalling KDE 3, you won't have to download that | 03:37 |
| NickPresta | metbsd, 10G is more than enough for Kubuntu and such. | 03:38 |
| metbsd | i have 7.04 dvd here, is it trash now? | 03:38 |
| MrJoey | metbsd> It is indeed wise to use CD/DVD RWs for Linux distributions. However, the 7.04 can be used to install and then upgrade. | 03:39 |
| mogger | How do I know where firefox is? | 03:41 |
| MrJoey | Type whereis firefox | 03:41 |
| NickPresta | Or, which firefox | 03:41 |
| mogger | how do i launch it? | 03:42 |
| MrJoey | Does typing firefox work? | 03:42 |
| NickPresta | mogger, Alt + F2, type in 'firefox' (sans quotes) | 03:42 |
| mogger | it says | 03:43 |
| mogger | Package firefox is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 03:44 |
| mogger | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 03:44 |
| mogger | is only available from another source | 03:44 |
| mogger | E: Package firefox has no installation candidate | 03:44 |
| firecrotch | mogger: what version of Kubuntu are running? | 03:44 |
| mogger | 7.10 | 03:44 |
| mogger | i just tried to do an apt-get install firefox and thats what happend | 03:45 |
| mogger | are my repositories messed up? I just got done with a fresh install | 03:45 |

| Piffer | question: right after Kubuntu install, the internal laptop fan is not spinning, which app would make it spin again? | 03:50 |
| Piffer | with just Ubuntu installed, the fan works fine.. | 03:51 |

| firecrotch | Piffer: Perhaps the computer is not getting hot enough that it needs to turn the fan on | 03:52 |
| Piffer | firecrotch: it's getting hella hot :-( As soon as I get Ubuntu booted from Live-CD, the fan is going full speed | 03:53 |

| epimeth | but when its plugged in I *want* it to be at 100% | 04:33 |
| firecrotch | jimmy51: both amarok and gtkpod can sync with the iPod Touch, there's a guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone | 04:33 |
| firecrotch | epimeth: I'll boot into Kubuntu and see what I can figure out :) I'll be back shortly :) | 04:34 |

| chipbuddy | if i'm having graphics problems in ubuntu (all white screen) is it possible switching to kubuntu will fix that? or is the lower level graphics stuff all the same? | 04:39 |
| firecrotch | chipbuddy: You'll likely have problems in Kubuntu as well | 04:39 |
| jimmy51 | firecrotch: that involves the jailbreak firmware stuff | 04:40 |

| firecrotch | well I figure since he's running linux, he's a geek. and most geeks have theirs jailbroken :) | 04:41 |
| epimeth | isn't ubuntu supposed to be the "linux for not geeks" I mean "linux for everyone" | 04:42 |

| firecrotch | epimeth: Have you right clicked the Power Manager icon in the tray and gone to "Restore" ? | 04:44 |
| jimmy51 | do you have a current link for jailbreaking? | 04:45 |
| epimeth | awesome. thanks firecrotch | 04:45 |

| firecrotch | epimeth: no problem :) | 04:46 |
| jimmy51 | iBrick? i saw one for the phone... | 04:46 |
| jimmy51 | actually... with no native way to do it, i guess this isn't a kubuntu question anymore... | 04:48 |
| jimmy51 | i'll quit wasting channel space | 04:48 |
| firecrotch | jimmy51: I thought that iBreak works on everything, I'd assume so since the iTouch is basically an iPhone with no phone | 04:50 |
| firecrotch | er... s/iBreak/iBrick/ | 04:51 |
| firecrotch | I could be wrong, I'm not really all that familiar with jailbreaking, just what I've read about it | 04:52 |

| fulat2k | hi folks, i've 2GB ram. is it normal for kernel to use ~1.4GB of RAM for caching? that's what's reported via free -m | 07:26 |
| * Jucato doesn't see why not | 07:27 | |
| Jucato | that's actually good | 07:27 |
| fulat2k | Jucato: i assume the kernel will magically limit how much ram to use as cache and never exceed the amount of physical ram? | 07:32 |
| Jucato | fulat2k: when the system needs more RAM for applications, it will reduce the cache to give room for applications | 07:33 |

| Jucato | pteague: maybe you set Ctrl+F in KDE's shortcuts to launch xterm? are you using something like compiz? | 08:14 |

| Nyad | isnt there a way to put in a CD with a bootloader that will allow you to boot from USB harddrive? | 08:49 |
| adz21c | Nyad: infact at one point Mandriva were doing this CD and USB combo, when you launch the live CD with an appropriate flash drive it mounts the flash as /home | 08:49 |
| Nyad | so one would have to use mandriva? | 08:49 |
| adz21c | Nyad: well, being Mandriva that was a payed for product i believe, and i don't think it did USB HDs, just the USB key provided | 08:50 |

| Nyad | If I put in my ubuntu live cd can I set it to boot from a boot partition on my external HD instead of MBR? that should work? | 08:53 |
| adz21c | Nyad: well what you could do is install ubuntu on ur external hdd, then you can write grub to floppies and CDs, so install grub referrencing your external hdd to the usb drive and stick it on a CD, although your externall hdd may get named differently from PC to PC no doubt, but, its an idea | 08:55 |
| adz21c | Nyad: then all you have to do it make sure the floppy/cd comes before hdd in boot order | 08:56 |
| Nyad | I have ubuntu installed on my external hdd. so I must Install a new grub onto my CD or floppy disk and it will automatically detect my external linux boot partition | 08:59 |
| adz21c | Nyad: dunno about automatically, i think grub works entirely from reading configs, which is why i am saying it might have an annoyance if your external hdd is referred with a different id/whatever grub uses on another computer, but i think you can edit that through grub on boot so it would be one of them minor annoyances | 09:01 |
| defrenne_ | je ne sais que faire ici mais j'ai besoin d'aide qui peut m'expliquer? | 09:01 |
| adz21c | Nyad: but this is all guess work i never tried this, just chucking the ideas i would be having if i wanted to do this at you :-) | 09:02 |
| Nyad | ok thanks, I'll be careful | 09:02 |
| defrenne_ | qui ecrit en francais sur ce canal? | 09:03 |
| adz21c | Nyad: mind you there is something for restoring your Grub on the live cd so maybe that would help for auto detection? | 09:03 |
| adz21c | Nyad: maybe it would let you go in, search for stuff grub can launch then pick your external hdd to boot from, dunno never used that function on the cd but i know its there :) | 09:04 |
| Nyad | hmm this could be useful to make grub re-autodetect all OS since I installed suse last night and cant figure out how to add it to grub/menu.lst | 09:06 |
| brutus | halo | 09:06 |
| Nyad | do you know where this feature is? or how I can use it? | 09:06 |
| === PhilRod_ is now known as PhilRod | ||
| adz21c | It's an option on the live cd, i think its on the menu ... i just know its there a friend has used it before now, and its not uncommon for people to need to restore grub after installing windows for dual boot | 09:07 |
| Nyad | ok I think I saw something on this so I'll look into it. but for the portable idea, would I put in the live cd and then when it asks with a menu it has something like this. boot: many args | 09:09 |
| Nyad | so maybe if I just figure out the right stuff to type there then it will boot from wherever | 09:09 |
| adz21c | Nyad: thats one way to do, what i was thinking is maybe if the autodetect pics up your externel hdd and lets you use grub without needing to put it in the MBR maybe you could use that instead of having to learn the arguments and figure out the values for each arg specific to each system | 09:11 |
| Nyad | but how would I make grub do an autodetect every time I move to a new system? is using a CD with grub on it or with the LiveCD? | 09:15 |
| cdpuk | Hello, anyone know how to copy kontact/kmail mail config to another PC? I can't boot the installation right now - just got access to the disk | 09:16 |
| cdpuk | Copying .kde/share/apps/kmail stuff doesn't seem to work | 09:17 |
| adz21c | Nyad: the livecd, when u restore grub after a windows install for example I think it scans the available devices for OSes then builds up a grub to install into your MBR. If this provides a "preview" and a scans USB hdds you could go through the motions of restoring grub but just use the preview to launch your external hdds os instead of installing grub to the mbr ... like i said guess work, this is an assumption of how the grub restore process works :-) | 09:18 |
| adz21c | Nyad: even if the preview doesn't let you launch an OS it would atleast give you the boot options to use, if you see what i am getting at | 09:19 |
| Nyad | ok so it will just give me the info I need to get it to boot from the arcane device names etc | 09:19 |
| adz21c | Nyad: thats what I am thinking | 09:20 |
| adz21c | Nyad: assuming it gives you previews etc | 09:20 |
| Nyad | ok thanks :) | 09:20 |
| adz21c | Nyad: and is a reasonably quick process of course I never done it so i dunno how long it takes lol | 09:20 |
| Nyad | the first time will take a while but once I know what I'm doing it will be faster | 09:21 |
| adz21c | Nyad: well i was more talking about how fast a grub restore takes, i assume its pretty quick but i don't know :-) lol | 09:21 |
| Nyad | oh right :P | 09:22 |

| jpatrick | arunkale: you could, but I really recommend rsync over all | 10:43 |
| arunkale | jpatrick: rsync is for getting the files onto my local computer? | 10:44 |

| pucko- | yes | 10:51 |
| pucko- | and you won't need -r | 10:52 |
| pucko- | arunkale, the filepath is preserved in the tar.gz archive though, so you might want to cd to the the dir above the one you want to compress and run tar zcvf file.tar.gz <dir to be compressed>/* | 10:54 |

| Jucato | how much RAM? | 11:52 |
| Jucato | btw, what do you mean by "what version"? | 11:52 |
| RogueJediX | mikemm: I have a 1.2 GHz CPU and have no problems running the latest Kubuntu | 11:55 |
| mikemm | RogueJediX: 8.04 beta? | 11:55 |
| Jucato | only if you're willing to put up with a bit of instability/probable changes | 11:56 |
| RogueJediX | mikemm: Latest stable. 7.10 | 11:56 |
| Jucato | you can install 7.10 and upgrade in 2 weeks to 8.04 | 11:56 |
| Jucato | around 2 weeks... | 11:56 |
| mikemm | i used kubu for like 2,5year on it without problems, from before dapper.. to dapper.. to edgy | 11:56 |
| mikemm | but then i was like.. hmmm this opensuse looks very promissing, lets give it a shot | 11:56 |
| mikemm | it went ok.. in the beginning.. but it became slower and slower - bit like windowz | 11:56 |
| mikemm | so i dont want that anymore, 7.10 is edgy right? | 11:57 |
| lumm_ | gutsy | 11:57 |
| mikemm | OK | 11:58 |
| Jucato | edgy is 6.10 | 11:58 |
| RogueJediX | Is it possible to install KMPlayer without it becoming the default media player (I already have Kaffeine and Amarok for that)? | 12:04 |
| emilsedgh | RogueJediX: sure | 12:06 |
| Jucato | you'll have to modify the File Associations | 12:06 |
| emilsedgh | RogueJediX: go to Konqueror->Settings->File Associations.you could set which file types use which applications | 12:06 |
| RogueJediX | emilsedgh, Jucato: Cool, thanks | 12:07 |

| Pendeta | I'm getting SQUASHFS errors when trying to install Kubuntu. Is this a problem with my CD Drive or my HD? | 12:17 |
| === kde-devel is now known as TheFuzzball | ||
| SinNiji | "ashFS is used by the LiveCD versions of Finnix, Ubuntu, DD-WRT and probably many more Linux distributions." guess is your cd | 12:19 |
| cuzntx | i need to defrag? | 12:36 |
| Pendeta | SinNiji, thanks. I'll try a different cd. | 12:36 |
| cuzntx | !defrag | 12:36 |
| ubotu | The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. | 12:36 |
| cuzntx | w0w | 12:37 |
| Dr_willis | ive never needed to defrag a linux box yet. | 12:39 |
| Dr_willis | had to fsck a few times on some. :) | 12:39 |
| cuzntx | fsck? | 12:40 |
| Dr_willis | 'filw system check' | 12:40 |
| Dr_willis | man fsck :) | 12:40 |
| Hamra | fsck is like chkdsk or scandisk on windows | 12:40 |
| Dr_willis | only it works. :) | 12:40 |
| cuzntx | is that a command funtion | 12:41 |

| Dr_willis | it is a command. | 12:41 |
| Dr_willis | fsck fsck.ext2 fsck.minix fsck.nfs fsck.vfat fsck.cramfs fsck.ext3 fsck.msdos fsck.reiserfs | 12:41 |

| Dr_willis | there ya go. :) | 12:47 |
| * Hamra is going somewhere | 12:50 | |
| cuznt | it says i can not fsck on amounted file system | 13:08 |
| Pici | Because you can;t. | 13:08 |
| Dr_willis | Yep.. correct.. You cant.. | 13:09 |
| cuznt | i gathered that | 13:09 |
| Dr_willis | i tend to boot live cd and fsck from them. | 13:09 |
| Pici | sudo touch /forcefsck will force it to fsck on the next reboot. | 13:09 |
| cuznt | i will try that pici thank you | 13:09 |
| Dr_willis | another good fix.. IF you need the disk fscked | 13:09 |
| Dr_willis | of course normally they get checked to see if they need checked anyway. :) | 13:10 |
| cuznt | i dont know if i do or not | 13:10 |

| JuJuBee | Is there a way to make it so if someone drops a file into a folder (drop box), the ownership of the file changes to who owns the folder? | 14:06 |
| blindfish | JuJuBee: i don't think this is possible "out of the box", but would be easy with a little perl-script / Cron-job | 14:10 |
| JuJuBee | I was thinking of a cron that runs every 30 min or 60 min to change perms, but was hoping to avoid it if possible. | 14:10 |
| llutz | JuJuBee: why don't you use group-permissions? | 14:11 |
| JuJuBee | llutz : I use the group do define who can drop in and set everybody to --- while I am owner. | 14:19 |
| llutz | JuJuBee: and why do you want to change ownership? | 14:20 |
| JuJuBee | When a student drops a file in, he/she is the owner and the group and world are --- | 14:20 |
| JuJuBee | When I mount the drop box remotely, I want to be able to copy the files to my HD so I can grade them. | 14:24 |
| shadowbox | can someone help me with my sound? its driving me nuts | 14:27 |
| llutz | JuJuBee: set sgid to directory and files will have group-ownership of directory | 14:27 |
| llutz | JuJuBee: then you can (if your are member of that group) work with them | 14:27 |

| ^u^ | dc2447: | 14:59 |
| dc2447 | well it's in the repos | 15:00 |
| llutz | JuJuBee: when a user drops a file into a directory with sgid, the file should get group-ownership of the directory | 15:06 |
| JuJuBee | OK, that did seem to happen, however the group perms are --- | 15:07 |
| JuJuBee | So, it does me not good unless the group gets at least read. | 15:07 |
| llutz | JuJuBee: set umask or file-creation mask | 15:07 |
| JuJuBee | how do I do that? | 15:08 |
| JuJuBee | can I do it just for that directory? | 15:08 |

| nyko | genii: hey how are you today ^^ | 16:00 |
| Czessi | LjL: konversation but i don't know what's the matter. | 16:01 |
| LjL | Czessi: i think i do | 16:01 |
| LjL | Czessi: you're in many channels. Konversation, by default, gathers /who(is) information about all the people in your channels. it tries to be smart and not do it for large channels, but it goes nuts when you're in several small channels | 16:02 |
| genii | nyko: Wet from rain and still fighting flu but otherwise all right :) | 16:02 |
| LjL | Czessi: i suggest Settings / Configure Konversation / Chat Window / Enable Automatic User Information Look Up <-- disable this completely, or at least make the update interval much much longer | 16:02 |
| Czessi | LjL: thanks, done | 16:03 |
| nyko | genii: that bad umm yet me i fighting to find why my logout bug my linux and after that all work well i buy a usb/ps/2 | 16:04 |

| genii | nyko: I could search google etc but this is likely what you would be needing to do anyways | 16:13 |
| LjL | Czessi: make sure when you logout from kde you close konversation first, as it sometimes forgets to save its settings if you just close the session | 16:13 |
| Czessi | LjL: i do this every time because i don't will that koversation starts, when i login into kde | 16:15 |
| genii | nyko: If you feel brave you can try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LogitechG15 but since on kubuntu and not ubuntu replace where they put "gksudo gedit" with "kdesu kate" | 16:16 |
| LjL | Czessi: well you can make it stop doing that. System Settings / Advanced / Session Settings / On Login / (select) Restore manually saved session. this will affect every other application, too, although if you only want *konversation* to not be restored, you can put it in the "excluded from session" list | 16:16 |

| LjL | Czessi, the bug for konversation had already been filed on lp at https://bugs.launchpad.net/konversation/+bug/67200 and is marked as "fix released"... i think the only way they could fix it without involving upstream would be to change the defaults (i.e. disable the lookup feature by default). yet you had it enabled, so is yours a fresh installation of gutsy, or did you move over your home and ~/.kde from another version? | 16:55 |

| pteague | open up /etc/apt/sources.list as root & temporarily comment out the line for the cd, run `apt-get update` or `aptitude update` & try it again | 17:40 |
| genii | Troofy: Since you're in both #kubuntu and #ubuntu you should ask in the channel which fits the window manager you are in at the moment. | 17:42 |
| venik | How do I get fancy screen savers? In my Configure Desktop there is only Blank and Random | 17:42 |

| ibou | hi. How to open a *.cue file? Is it possible to mount it as an *.iso ? | 17:47 |
| genii | nyko: Yes, I am around when work allows | 17:47 |
| nyko | genii: ok how to install the 2 g15 tips :p | 17:48 |
| nyko | genii: he not have any ./configure | 17:48 |
| genii | Troofy: when you get that message it's usually because you have more than 1 program running which is using the update/upgrade subsystem. Make sure only the one you are trying to use is open. | 17:49 |
| nyko | genii: i think make only should work ? | 17:49 |
| Troofy | genii i know but how do i solve it | 17:49 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | lol | 17:49 |
| genii | nyko: Normally source code comes with a file README or something similar, recommend to look at this if it exists. | 17:50 |
| genii | Troofy: To solve it close anything open which has Adept/Synaptic/apt running :) | 17:50 |
| nyko | genii: ok | 17:50 |
| Troofy | genii i dont have any thing opend like that | 17:50 |
| Troofy | i see 'apache2' as a proces in ksysgaurd. anything wrong? | 17:50 |
| nyko | genii: libg15daemon_client not found. please install it ummm ? | 17:51 |
| genii | nyko: Since I don't have a g15 and have not attempted installing one, I will be of little assistance | 17:51 |
| genii | Troofy: Likely your update manager is running, if in kubuntu check bottom right corner for it | 17:51 |
| nyko | genii: ok lol i will try alone then :) | 17:52 |
| Troofy | genii ic. thx. in linux can i make my pc a server for ircd + webserver + email server + some others. + desktop use too and keep it stable and up for months? | 17:52 |
| genii | Troofy: If you plan to have some dedicated server, don't also use it for a regular desktop machine with kde or gnome on it. Instead install the ubuntu-server cd on another box and then use something like ssh into it to control it | 17:54 |
| Troofy | genii sounds good. but what advantage is there of doing it and what disadvantage put a faster dualcore to do all jobs? | 17:58 |
| Troofy | i have a p4 1.8g 1g ram atm. if i have to buy a p3 1g as a server. why not upgrade my p4 to dualcore and use one pc for all??? | 17:58 |

| Minnozz | Hi, I have a problem. My network connection (internet and LAN) becomes extremely laggy at random times, and I'm sure it's a problem with my PC. Anyone any idea why? | 18:17 |
| dek | how do I make the Vim editor remember settings?, such as when I input ":syntax on" i want it to remember it for the next time I start it. | 18:17 |
| Minnozz | The only solution I currently know is a reboot | 18:17 |
| ^u^ | dek: there is a vimrc in /etc/vim that might help | 18:21 |
| dek | ^u^: so I dont have to create my own file in /home ?¡ | 18:22 |
| coreymon77 | Minnozz: wired lan or wireless? | 18:22 |
| Minnozz | coreymon77: wired | 18:23 |
| ^u^ | dek: you can if you want - I am not sure if that will override vimrc from /etc/vim - never tried | 18:23 |
| ^u^ | worth a shot :) | 18:23 |
| coreymon77 | Minnozz: and it slows down bif time randomly | 18:23 |
| coreymon77 | big* | 18:23 |
| Minnozz | coreymon77: correct, and it happens in a single moment | 18:25 |
| Minnozz | coreymon77: for instance, the ping to my switch: 1 10.0.0.200 (10.0.0.200) 1329.580 ms 1329.592 ms 1329.587 ms | 18:25 |
| AndreSTC | is there a way to run ie 7 in linux? From a pen drive maybe? | 18:26 |
| nyko | genii: i got a problem whit logout turn off when i do someing whit that he just close all turn black and my arrow freeze :s | 18:26 |
| coreymon77 | sorry about that Minnozz | 18:26 |
| coreymon77 | AndreSTC: and why would you want that exactly? | 18:27 |
| Minnozz | coreymon77: did you read my reply or shall I repeat it? :) | 18:27 |
| AndreSTC | [coreymon77]: my home broker only run in ie 7... i would like to be able to acces it on my notebook(kubuntu) | 18:27 |
| coreymon77 | Minnozz: if you dont mind repeating | 18:28 |
| Minnozz | [quote] coreymon77: correct, and it happens in a single moment | 18:28 |
| Azzco | Does anyone know a voip program that supports OSS? | 18:28 |
| Minnozz | coreymon77: for instance, the ping to my switch: 1 10.0.0.200 (10.0.0.200) 1329.580 ms 1329.592 ms 1329.587 ms[/quote] | 18:28 |
| coreymon77 | AndreSTC: and you sure the user agent switcher addon for firefox wouldnt do the trick? | 18:28 |
| coreymon77 | Minnozz: okay | 18:29 |
| coreymon77 | Minnozz: you sure its your computer and not the connection itself? | 18:29 |
| genii | nyko: Does it still shut off by itself after a minute or 2 ? | 18:29 |
| nyko | genii: no stay black | 18:29 |
| Minnozz | coreymon77: I have an SSH connection open to my homeserver, and that box has no problems at all | 18:29 |
| nyko | genii: i not go to 2 min tough lollll | 18:29 |
| genii | nyko: Perhaps to try the kernel option of: acpi=force | 18:30 |
| Minnozz | coreymon77: (but the connection from my pc to the server does) | 18:30 |
| AndreSTC | [coreymon77]: didnt try that yet... ill give it a try. i thought i would need to have ie 7 in order to the plugin to work | 18:30 |
| Troofy | genii can a hardare failure occure if any one attacks pc by internet. e.g ddos? | 18:30 |
| nyko | genii: what it does? | 18:30 |
| genii | nyko: Forces the computer to use power features | 18:31 |
| coreymon77 | AndreSTC: what plugin | 18:31 |
| AndreSTC | [coreymon77]: agent switcher | 18:31 |
| nyko | genii: ok | 18:31 |
| coreymon77 | Minnozz: im really not sure | 18:31 |
| coreymon77 | AndreSTC: what plugin do you need to work? | 18:31 |
| genii | Troofy: Since ddos attacks or similar pute heavier strain on things like disk accesss, it's conceivable. | 18:32 |
| Troofy | k | 18:32 |
| coreymon77 | *sigh* still no kde4 konversation | 18:34 |
| genii | Minnozz: If you're using some torrent client perhaps check to see if you're still seeding a bunch of torrents. This causes a slowdown which seems to just creep slowly up and up. If you are having slow ping to your router, it may be a route issue. | 18:35 |
| genii | Other things which cause creeping slowdown is memory leaks (notoriously in firefox). | 18:36 |
| nyko | genii: and last one do you know how to repair nsplugingviewer error ? | 18:37 |
| Minnozz | genii: I am not using a torrent client, and traceroute shows a single hop | 18:37 |
| Minnozz | (to my server) | 18:37 |
| Minnozz | genii: I don't have a FF session open at the moment | 18:38 |
| genii | nyko: No, you asked yesterday about the nspluginviewer, I could offer no help with it then either :) | 18:41 |
| BobSapp | hey there | 18:44 |
| genii | Minnozz: When the slowdown happens, what does top show as the most resource-hogging thing which is running? | 18:44 |
| BobSapp | I just got SIGSEGV in kcrash when i try to login to my only account | 18:44 |
| BobSapp | does kdecore.so.4 mean kde4 has been installed? | 18:45 |
| nyko | genii: | 18:45 |
| nyko | ok thanks :P | 18:45 |
| Minnozz | genii: Amarok has the highest processor load, but i'll paste the full output | 18:46 |
| BobSapp | the crash occurs in KSaveFile::KSaveFile() if that helps | 18:46 |

| BobSapp | no point asking for help on 8.04 | 18:49 |
| mhollisjr | other than Autostart, is there any place that KDE launches applications from? | 18:49 |
| Minnozz | genii: Any other things I can check, maybe? | 18:49 |
| JoshOvki | BobSapp: for all 8.04 questions try #ubuntu+1 | 18:50 |
| BobSapp | kthanks | 18:50 |
| genii | Minnozz: You said you don't have ff running but firefox-bin is the second-most resource hog. | 18:50 |
| genii | (on that paste) | 18:50 |
| Minnozz | genii: Yeah, I just fired it up to be able to paste :P | 18:51 |
| genii | Ah, OK | 18:51 |
| genii | Minnozz: Is Amarok streaming in what it's playing from somewhere? That may explain some congestion as well | 18:52 |
| Minnozz | genii: No, just playing from the harddisk, it only submits tracks to Last.fm every x minutes | 18:52 |
| pteague | anybody have any opinions on strigidaemon vs trackerd vs beagle? | 18:53 |
| Minnozz | genii: But when this happened before, I tried shutting down Amarok and it didn't make any difference | 18:53 |
| genii | Minnozz: OK | 18:53 |
| coreymon77 | pteague: never heard of any of them | 18:53 |
| coreymon77 | pteague: except that a beagle is a dog | 18:53 |
| coreymon77 | :P | 18:53 |
| BobSapp | 1/topic | 18:55 |
| pteague | coreymon77> well, you should know what's running on your computer... kubuntu uses strigidaemon by default & i think ubuntu uses trackerd by default... they're basically desktop searching engines that parse through all your files | 18:55 |
| JoshOvki | Minnozz: Shut down amorak then press Ctrl + Esc and make sure it is acctualy terminated | 18:56 |
| coreymon77 | oh ya, those | 18:56 |
| Minnozz | JoshOvki: Okay, bye music :( | 18:56 |

| Minnozz | JoshOvki: Yes, irssi runs in a screen on my server and I ssh to it and attach from my PC | 19:04 |
| coreymon77 | that would do it | 19:05 |

| SpeS | I can't find it!! | 19:06 |
| JoshOvki | hmmm | 19:06 |
| coreymon77 | so you are running irssi through ssh on another computer? wouldnt that maybe cause the slowdown? | 19:06 |
| coreymon77 | rabindra: what drivers? | 19:06 |
| genii | Minnozz: When you ping your default gateway is it slow also? Or just for machines on the internet (past the gateway) | 19:07 |

| rabindra | i have just installed gutsy gibbon and need to install drivers for nvidia chipset | 19:07 |
| coreymon77 | Minnozz: it was just a suggestion | 19:08 |
| Minnozz | genii: Everything I ping is slow, from my switch (first step) to $randomServer (google.com or so) | 19:08 |

| rabindra | i have the cd, my motherboard is ASUS M2NPV-VM and NVIDIA GeForce | 19:08 |
| Minnozz | coreymon77: Yeah, thanks :) I'm only explaining why I think that can't be the problem | 19:08 |
| Minnozz | iftop shows almost no traffic, too... | 19:09 |
| Minnozz | maybe 2KB/s average | 19:09 |
| rabindra | i already have some proprietry driver running, i enabled it as soon as i installed kubuntu and that took care of the resolution but the refresh rate is still bad | 19:11 |
| Minnozz | I don't know how network connections work low-level; But maybe there is some kind of buffer that's overloaded? | 19:11 |
| coreymon77 | rabindra: the driver from the cd that came with your computer will be of no use to you, those are for windows only | 19:12 |
| c0rle0n3 | please I really need help of you guys, I had to install php5.2.5 instead of the package of kubuntu | 19:12 |
| c0rle0n3 | now I need to config php with gd and jpeg support | 19:12 |
| coreymon77 | Minnozz: sorry, im much better with wireless | 19:12 |
| c0rle0n3 | but this is my problem | 19:12 |
| c0rle0n3 | for something I don't know, gd is not working | 19:13 |
| c0rle0n3 | maybe I'm using wrong patch | 19:13 |
| c0rle0n3 | ./configure --enable-force-cgi-redirect --with-pgsql --with-mysql --with-pdo-mysql --with-pdo-pgsql --without-pdo-sqlite --with-zlib --with-sqlite --with-zlib --with-gd --with-ttf --with-gettext --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/freetype2 --with-png-dir=/usr/include/libpng12 --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/include --enable-mbstring | 19:13 |
| rabindra | i know but what to do? the cd can run in windows only but it has a folder containing linux drivers also | 19:13 |
| Minnozz | coreymon77: Okay, thanks anyway :) | 19:14 |
| kkathman | c0rle0n3: why not just install xampp - installs in 2 minutes and is a full php/mysql/phpmyadmin and the whole thing? | 19:14 |
| c0rle0n3 | it's install php5.2.5? | 19:14 |
| kkathman | php 5 yes | 19:14 |
| c0rle0n3 | I must 5.2.5 | 19:15 |
| kkathman | why? | 19:15 |
| kkathman | you shouldnt be programming to a specific minor release anyway | 19:15 |
| c0rle0n3 | 5.2.1 has a bug, I don't know if it is in apache or kubuntu, but it crash in a script I have | 19:15 |
| ubuntu | ;] | 19:16 |
| genii | Minnozz: Perhaps stop the interface (sudo iconfig <ethname> down) then remove/reinsert the driver it uses (sudo modprobe -r <modulename>;sudo modprobe <modulename> ) then restart the interface and see if ping times change | 19:16 |
| Minnozz | genii: Okay, any idea what the name of the module could be? | 19:16 |
| Jckl | anyone know how i can connect to my phone running windows mobile so i can transfer files? | 19:16 |
| c0rle0n3 | the /usr/include is the correct patch? | 19:16 |

| kkathman | Jckl: have you just tried connecting it to a usb or something - it should look like an attached drive | 19:17 |
| Minnozz | genii: Okay, wait a sec :) | 19:17 |
| Jckl | yea i connected it to my usb cable | 19:18 |
| c0rle0n3 | I think RH is the solution :( | 19:18 |
| rabindra | the refresh rate is still 50 hz worse than what was before enabling the restricted drivers; it was 60 before | 19:18 |

| kkathman | my phone connected, Jckl , and I could access just like an external drive - via dolphin or konq | 19:18 |
| JoshOvki | Minnozz: just out of curiosity what switch are you using? | 19:19 |
| Minnozz | JoshOvki: A US Robotics wireless access point (of which the wireless feature is inactive), and my router is a SpeedTouch/Alcatel thing | 19:20 |
| Minnozz | * router/modem | 19:20 |
| JoshOvki | ah... US Robotics. My ex girlfriend had one of them, and every so often everything would just slow right down untill i restarted it. i then did a firmware update and it got worse | 19:21 |
| Jckl | kkathman: using dmesg i see PocketPC PDA converter now attached to ttyUSB0 but i cant see it as a drive and it does not show up under fdisk -l | 19:21 |
| JoshOvki | (thats not the reason she is my ex girlfriend tho) | 19:21 |
| Minnozz | JoshOvki: But the thing is, when I restart my PC, everyting is just fine again (ie no switch reboot needed) | 19:21 |
| JoshOvki | hmmm :S maby there is a build up of failed packages that clear | 19:22 |
| JoshOvki | are both your server and the pc slow? | 19:22 |
| Minnozz | No, only the PC | 19:22 |
| kkathman | Jckl: hmmm I have a Motorola Q9h running windows mobile 6 and seems to be ok | 19:22 |
| JoshOvki | ok scrap my idea then | 19:22 |
| genii | Minnozz: Apologies for lag, work required me. Reading the paste now | 19:23 |
| mot | has anybody gotten any of the phones running windows mobile to run linux yet? :) | 19:23 |
| rabindra | i just installed rpm, where do i use it from | 19:23 |
| Minnozz | genii: No problem, I'm glad you're helping me :) | 19:23 |
| Jckl | hmm i have mobile 5.. i have the upgrade for 6 but have not done it yet.. maybe that is the problem.. i am gonna try to mount it manually | 19:23 |
| JoshOvki | Minnozz: what OS is ur server running? and is the ping slow between you and the router or you and the rest of the world (sorry if its been asked already) | 19:24 |
| === rofl_ is now known as sh4rm4 | ||
| Minnozz | JoshOvki: My server runs Debian, my PC runs Kubuntu. Everything from/to my PC is slow, but for instance a ping from my server to google.com is just fine | 19:25 |
| genii | Minnozz: sky2 is the driver | 19:25 |
| Minnozz | genii: Okay, I'm gonna try reloading it | 19:26 |
| JoshOvki | wats the ping like from ur pc to ur switch/router? | 19:27 |
| genii | JoshOvki: He has same lag issue if just from pc to router or if from pc to some arbitrary IP | 19:27 |
| JoshOvki | ah ok | 19:28 |
| Minnozz | genii: Hmm, this is weird | 19:29 |
| mhollisjr | Okay this is really getting annoying, Nothing is in autostart, the session is not being restored, where is Compiz loading from? | 19:29 |
| Minnozz | genii: Now there is no connection at all | 19:29 |
| * JoshOvki points at genii and says He did it | 19:29 | |
| Minnozz | genii: eth1 is up, but ping $ip gives 'Destination Host Unreachable' | 19:29 |
| JoshOvki | Minnozz: what does ifconfig throw back? | 19:30 |
| genii | Minnozz: You did: sudo ifconfig eth1 down; sudo modprobe -r sky2;sudo modprobe sky2; sudo ifconfig eth1 up ? or equivelent | 19:30 |
| mhollisjr | I'll settle for any guesses -sigh- | 19:30 |
| Minnozz | genii: Yes, exactly that (but eth1 was already up after the last modprobe) | 19:31 |
| Minnozz | JoshOvki: eth1 and lo | 19:31 |
| Minnozz | JoshOvki: Can't paste it for you without a connection | 19:31 |
| JoshOvki | Minnozz: anthing like inet addr:192.168.1.101 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 in there? (replacing the numbers for your own) | 19:32 |
| genii | Minnozz: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 19:32 |
| Minnozz | JoshOvki: Yes (10.0.0.152, 10.0.0.255 and 255.255.255.0 for me) | 19:32 |
| JoshOvki | hmmm, try what genii suggested | 19:33 |
| rabindra | please guide me on installing synaptic package manager from adept manager | 19:33 |
| Minnozz | genii: Done that, still not working | 19:33 |
| JoshOvki | Minnozz: im guessing the IP range is correct btw | 19:33 |
| genii | Minnozz: sudo dhclient -r eth1;sudo dhclient eth1 | 19:34 |

| Piero_Scaruffi | aaro__ | 19:36 |
| Minnozz | genii: Done that, it says something about 'No DHCPDISCOVERS on eth1 ...' but I'm using a static ip (so that's not important, right?) | 19:36 |
| genii | Minnozz: Ah static, OK. | 19:37 |
| Minnozz | genii: My interface has no IP now, ifdown && ifup? | 19:37 |
| aaro__ | What is SU ? | 19:38 |
| genii | Minnozz: Yes, then try to ping 10.0.0.1 (I assume is the router) | 19:38 |
| rabindra | darkriftX:thanks | 19:38 |
| genii | aaro__: Substitute User | 19:38 |
| aaro__ | thank you | 19:38 |
| genii | aaro__: np | 19:39 |
| genii | aaro__: man su for extended info on syntax | 19:39 |
| JoshOvki | Minnozz: or ping 10.0.0.255 as its the default gateway | 19:39 |
| Minnozz | genii, JoshOvki: 10.0.0.138 is the IP of my router (and 10.0.0.200 of my switch) | 19:40 |
| genii | JoshOvki: I think that would be his broadcast IP :) | 19:40 |
| JoshOvki | ah yeh *hits head* | 19:40 |
| JoshOvki | ping10.0.0.138 then ;) | 19:41 |
| genii | Minnozz: Work requires me | 19:42 |
| Minnozz | genii: Had a little trouble bringing it up again (ifconfig / ifup conflict) but still doesn't work :( | 19:42 |
| Minnozz | genii: Ah, okay. Thanks a lot for your help :) | 19:42 |
| JoshOvki | Minnozz: still got an IP in ifconfig? | 19:43 |
| Minnozz | JoshOvki: Yes (I edited /etc/network/interfaces once), but I can't find my gateway IP there. Is it supposed to be there? | 19:43 |
| srinaraj | any one from India | 19:44 |
| srinaraj | ? | 19:44 |
| JoshOvki | Minnozz: it might not be needed, was thinking windows | 19:45 |
| Minnozz | Hmm, I could just reboot my PC and it is fixed. But I think that's a bad solution | 19:46 |
| Minnozz | It's just not supposed to happen | 19:47 |
| mhollisjr | When I login to an x session, what launches plasma on hardy? I asked #ubuntu+1, they sent me to you :D | 19:48 |
| JoshOvki | Minnozz: try add.ing gateway *.*.*.* where the * are the correct numbers | 19:48 |
| mhollisjr | or wait let me rephrase the question | 19:48 |
| mhollisjr | what are all the startup locations and config files from the point of leaving the login screen to a fully up and running desktop? | 19:49 |
| Minnozz | JoshOvki: How is that done again; ifconfig eth1 gateway 10.0.0.138 ? | 19:49 |
| rabindra | darkriftX: this is the error i am getting | 19:49 |
| JoshOvki | Minnozz: all to the same effect :) | 19:49 |
| rabindra | Package synaptic is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 19:49 |
| rabindra | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 19:49 |
| rabindra | is only available from another source | 19:49 |
| rabindra | E: Package synaptic has no installation candidate | 19:49 |
| JoshOvki | Minnozz: yeh sorry, didnt read correctly | 19:51 |
| mhollisjr | Autorun, and /etc/X11/Xsession.d are the only ones I've found what else am I missing? | 19:52 |
| Minnozz | JoshOvki: are you sure it's possible to add a gateway with ifconfig ? | 19:52 |
| Minnozz | there's nothing about it in the manpage | 19:52 |
| JoshOvki | i wasnt 100% sure so i googled: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ | 19:53 |
| JoshOvki | oh sorry miss read again | 19:53 |
| JoshOvki | im not sure about that, you could always add it and ifconfig down && ifconfig up should re-read it | 19:54 |
| Minnozz | JoshOvki: done that (and the gateway declaration was already in the config file) | 19:55 |
| JoshOvki | ah ok | 19:55 |
| JoshOvki | Minnozz: still no connection im guessing then | 19:56 |
| Minnozz | JoshOvki: nope :( | 19:56 |
| * JoshOvki is stummped | 19:56 | |
| rabindra | srinaraj: ya, currently | 19:57 |
| genii | Minnozz: If you are using the x.x.x.138 as gateway to internet you should specify in the /etc/network/interfaces entry for eth1 that ip for gateway. Also seems odd your switch has any ip of it's own at all. | 19:57 |
| Minnozz | genii: The gateway entry in /etc/network/interfaces was already there (made the file a long time ago) | 19:58 |
| Minnozz | genii: And my switch is not really a switch, it is a wireless access point that I use as a switch | 19:58 |
| Minnozz | (it's a wireless access point with built-in switch) | 19:58 |
| Minnozz | genii: I don't think the config is the problem, because it works just fine 99% of the time | 20:00 |

| genii | Minnozz: I had a motherboard with same chipset/driver (Marvell Yukon) and had endless probs with the nic since it's chipset is also invoved in the sata controller and audio | 20:04 |
| coreymon77 | rabindra: if you installed a client, it should be somewhere in the kmenu | 20:04 |
| JoshOvki | genii: where is mine?:P i havnt had a re-fill in over 40 mins :P | 20:05 |

| Minnozz | genii: So you think it's a problem with the NIC? | 20:22 |
| dhq__ | genii: so what do i have to do to make it ok | 20:22 |
| Minnozz | My motherboard happens to have two ethernet ports, maybe I should try the other one? | 20:24 |
| JoshOvki | that usualy works off the same chipset | 20:26 |
| genii | dhq__: No idea, however it gives an example of a line which you could try adding to the start .c file it's trying to run or the freetype header file it's trying to pull in | 20:26 |
| genii | Minnozz: I had to put i2c,sata_mv, and sky2 driver names into my /etc/modules in that load order and because my sound was intelhda to recompile alsa with support for it | 20:28 |
| Minnozz | genii: Hmm... you think a newer kernel will fix it? | 20:29 |
| Minnozz | I'm using the repository version now (2.6.22-14) | 20:30 |
| genii | Minnozz: I just heard earlier today that the newest Hardy kernel update has the intelhda fix built in. Which may help, but I myself would not move to 8.04 just to get my nic working | 20:31 |
| Minnozz | genii: And what about upgrading only the kernel? (ie compiling it myself) | 20:31 |
| genii | Minnozz: It's possible if you feel brave :) | 20:32 |
| Minnozz | genii: I'll try that, but I haven't done that before. Are there any special options I need? | 20:33 |
| genii | Minnozz: There is already a kernel make-list usually which you use as a template. One minute I'll try to find you some good tutorial | 20:34 |
| Minnozz | genii: Okay, thanks. I'm rebooting my PC, so I'll have internet again | 20:35 |
| genii | Minnozz: There is an older (for 6.10) but very comprehensive and still relevent tutorial here: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu | 20:38 |
| Minnozz | genii: Going to try that one :) | 20:40 |
| genii | Minnozz: Compiling your own kernel is not a small task for a beginner and I would recommend against it normally except for cases where there is some feature which can only be enabled by doing it. | 20:41 |
| Minnozz | genii: Yeah I know, but I'm not a complete beginner; I think I'll try it | 20:43 |
| genii | Minnozz: Latest kernel tree is 2.6.24-4 | 20:44 |

| dwidmann | Nyad: the site said that the mimetype is x-director (aka: Adobe Shockwave) | 21:53 |
| _Redondos_ | maybe some trick with wine? | 21:53 |
| Nyad | run ie6 :) | 21:53 |
| dwidmann | _Redondos_: you might be able to install a browser in wine, and shockwave along with it, YMMV | 21:53 |
| _Redondos_ | yes.. I'll try | 21:54 |
| Nyad | whats YMMV? | 21:54 |
| _Redondos_ | the problem is that the last time I tried to execute an iexplore in wine it gave me errors.. | 21:54 |
| _Redondos_ | Nyad: you say ie6 could work? | 21:54 |
| stdin | _Redondos_: you can install firefox in wine, that's easier than IE | 21:54 |
| _Redondos_ | ahh.. | 21:55 |
| Nyad | thats a better plan | 21:55 |
| _Redondos_ | mmm | 21:55 |
| _Redondos_ | stdin: but it comes with shockwave installed? | 21:55 |
| _Redondos_ | stdin: I think it doesn't... | 21:55 |
| Nyad | no | 21:55 |
| _Redondos_ | well | 21:55 |
| stdin | _Redondos_: no, but it will install in the firefox in wine | 21:55 |
| Nyad | you have to install it yourself but its easy | 21:55 |
| _Redondos_ | well, I'll sop talking and go to download firefox and ie6 | 21:56 |
| stdin | _Redondos_: just go to a page with shockwave content and click the "install plugin" button | 21:56 |
| _Redondos_ | aha | 21:56 |
| _Redondos_ | perfect | 21:56 |
| _Redondos_ | I'll try | 21:56 |

| jessica | i am wanting to make it apper as though i live in the US i live in england but a website is only avalable to people in the US is there any software that can do that | 23:11 |
| pidus | i am using kubuntu 7.10 and during an update the adept manager hung and with nothing left to do i restarted but the grub now shows Error 15: File not found | 23:23 |
| dwidmann | jessica: probably can be done, I wouldn't know how though, ip spoofing or something? | 23:24 |
| pidus | when i try to use command line means to fix it | 23:24 |
| jessica | ok ill try something | 23:24 |
| jessica | ill post back if i do it | 23:25 |
| pidus | the boot sessions runs till it stops while detecting the cdrom | 23:25 |
| dwidmann | pidus: you'll need to fire up a live cd and reinstall grub | 23:25 |
| dwidmann | pidus: I think, anyway | 23:25 |
| pidus | and how do i resintall grub using the live cd? | 23:25 |
| paco_ | ciao a tutti | 23:26 |
| dwidmann | pidus: , in a shell, "sudo grub-install /path/to/partition/with/grub" | 23:26 |
| dwidmann | I think | 23:26 |
| pidus | can't it be done in a way similar to http://www.blogmanno.com/?q=node/69 | 23:27 |
| dwidmann | pidus: you may also need to fix some things, in that same terminal "sudo mkdir /media/kubuntu && sudo mount /dev/path/to/kubuntu /media/kubuntu" | 23:28 |
| spiroo | Is there someway you directly could convert a tarball (sourcefile) directly to a debian package? | 23:28 |
| dwidmann | One sec, am looking. | 23:28 |
| dwidmann | spiroo: not really, no. | 23:28 |
| dwidmann | spiroo: you could use something like checkinstall to make a half-baked debian package (good enough for personal use, IMO) | 23:29 |
| spiroo | dwidmann: I am tired of installing sources, I want it to be simple. You always have to extract, build and a lot of things. | 23:29 |
| dwidmann | spiroo: though that still requires all the dev stuff to be installed and and for you to build it .... | 23:29 |
| pidus | i have the initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic.bak file in /boot/ | 23:30 |
| spiroo | dwidmann: If its easier than extract and all the things, I could do it. I just want it to be easier. | 23:30 |
| dwidmann | spiroo: c'est la vi | 23:30 |
| Jucato | spiroo: of course. you're not just *installing* source code... you need to compile them first. that's why they take more steps than installing a precompiled package | 23:30 |
| dwidmann | pidus: give it a try and see if it works | 23:31 |
| spiroo | Jucato: Yes, I know ;) Just wondering if there is a way to autocompile and then just install. Theres kind oh handy with .deb-fifiles :P You just doubleclick and isntall :D | 23:31 |
| Jucato | (if you only knew the amount of work that gets done to have a properly made "handy" .deb file...) | 23:32 |
| dwidmann | spiroo: deb packages spoil us really good :) | 23:32 |
| * dwidmann has a fair idea, and shudders to think about it | 23:33 | |
| pidus | dwidmann: it doesn't :( certainly not as simply as that page says. It stops with uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 | 23:33 |
| jordan_ | hey can anyone help me mount a hd plz | 23:33 |
| dwidmann | pidus: , I've never seen that error before | 23:33 |
| Jucato | spiroo: oh. and to make a .deb package.. you still need to extract and compile the sources :) | 23:33 |
| dwidmann | !mount | 23:33 |
| ubotu | Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Kubuntu, go to System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Disks & Filesystem. See also !fstab and !DiskMounter | 23:33 |
| pidus | dwidmann: ok | 23:34 |
| spiroo | Yeah, but I like it easy, especially if it is applications. I have become quite greedy of the transition from Windows to GNU/Linux. Sometimes I just install applications for test. But I would like it more easy. I can do manually things of course and do some simple things in terminal. Not to advanced though :P | 23:34 |
| jordan_ | ty but i have edited my fstab and i get error mesage | 23:34 |
| spiroo | Jucato: hehe, would be nice if there was an application that could do it for you xD lol | 23:34 |
| SlimeyPete | jordan_: let us know what the error is and if anyone recognises it, they'll help | 23:35 |
| dwidmann | Jucato: IMO the tools used for building the packages are more complicated to learn that it would be to write my own script for it (assuming I woudln't be doing too many ...) | 23:35 |
| Jucato | spiroo: .deb packaging is definitely not that :) | 23:35 |
| jordan_ | well when i add this line to it i get | 23:35 |
| jordan_ | :/dev/hdb /media/hdb1 vfat user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0 | 23:35 |
| Jucato | spiroo: packaging benefits the end user more than the packager (you, in this case) | 23:36 |
| jordan_ | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb, | 23:36 |
| jordan_ | missing codepage or helper program, or other error | 23:36 |
| jordan_ | In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try | 23:36 |
| jordan_ | dmesg | tail or so | 23:36 |
| Jucato | !paste | jordan_ | 23:36 |
| ubotu | jordan_: 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) | 23:36 |
| jordan_ | kk | 23:36 |
| jordan_ | sry | 23:36 |
| SlimeyPete | you sure it's vfat? try "auto" instead of "vfat" | 23:37 |
| jordan_ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62180/ | 23:37 |
| jordan_ | kk | 23:37 |
| spiroo | Jucato: I guess I am just to selfish :D | 23:37 |
| Jucato | spiroo: not really. just too ideal :P | 23:37 |
| jordan_ | you must specify the filesystem type | 23:38 |
| Jucato | spiroo: as for checkinstall, you still need to 1. extract the sources and 2. run configure and make (depending on the build system used) | 23:38 |
| jordan_ | after running sudo mount -a | 23:38 |
| jordan_ | it was from a previous kubuntu install if that helps | 23:38 |
| Jucato | spiroo: you might even be better off writing your own script to automate it than relying on packaging, as dwidmann mentioned | 23:38 |
| spiroo | Jucato: Woho, I guess I stick with the tarballs then ... :D | 23:38 |
| jordan_ | just a data storage drive though | 23:38 |
| spiroo | Jucato: I trust you guys. What could possibly go wrong with linux, right? :P | 23:39 |
| Jucato | spiroo: tbh, I find it plain compiling from source easier and more manageable than using checkinstall or packaging it... specially if it's just for myself :D | 23:40 |
| spiroo | Jucato: it is not very often a package has been broken for me or anything really. Or well, KDE4 is quite buggy, but is completely understandable. | 23:40 |
| spiroo | Jucato: tbh? | 23:40 |
| Jucato | "to be honest" | 23:41 |
| SlimeyPete | jordan_: I'm not sure I can help any further but it might be a good idea to run "sudo fdisk /dev/hdb" and see what partition type fdisk thinks it is. | 23:41 |
| SlimeyPete | unfortunately I haven't got access to fdisk at the moment but I think you type "p" to print the partition table (type "help" first to confirm!) | 23:41 |
| Torple | I've done a fresh install of kubuntu 7.10 Is there a hardware management, device list, or detection gui tool? | 23:41 |
| hyperactivecrond | fdisk -l shows all of your partitions | 23:42 |
| spiroo | btw I found debian-builder .P | 23:42 |

| Torple | hyperactivecrond: I can't get my sound to work | 23:42 |
| SlimeyPete | 83? That's ext3 | 23:42 |
| SlimeyPete | not vfat | 23:42 |
| SlimeyPete | unless it's a vfat filesystem inside a linux partition, which would be messed-up | 23:43 |
| jordan_ | ok i have tried ext3 and did think this first but it stil lhas same error | 23:43 |
| jordan_ | ill do again and get back to you | 23:43 |
| SlimeyPete | try ext2? | 23:43 |
| dwidmann | spiroo: if you think that's going to make things nice and easy for you your dreams are going to be shattered. | 23:44 |
| hyperactivecrond | torple: do you know what kind of sound card you have? | 23:44 |
| jordan_ | no same thing for ext3 | 23:44 |
| spiroo | dwidmann: Yes, I just figured that out now :d | 23:44 |
| hyperactivecrond | ext* is lame. use reiserfs. a murderer wrote it, so why not use it? | 23:44 |
| dwidmann | spiroo: by simple in the package description, it meant complicated and convoluted. | 23:45 |
| jordan_ | ext2 no work aswell | 23:45 |
| spiroo | dwidmann: :D | 23:45 |
| Torple | My audio is not working. I've done a fresh install and everything seems to be working except sound. What should I start to check? | 23:45 |
| jordan_ | and @ hyperactivecrond im a new linux user but with some idea of what bash is | 23:45 |
| spiroo | Speaking of ext3 and ext2. Is it possible to create labels for them. In both KDE 3.5 and KDE 4 | 23:45 |
| spiroo | I hade sdax, sdbz, etc etc. | 23:46 |

| hyperactivecrond | dwidmann: writing random crap to dsp should be the lowest-level way there | 23:54 |
| hyperactivecrond | spiroo: cat shows the file, | pipes the output to grep, which searches for a string | 23:54 |
| hyperactivecrond | in this case, hdb | 23:54 |
| Torple | hyperactivecrond it says bash: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy when i do that command | 23:54 |
| genii | spiroo: It feeds the contents of the file /etc/fstab into the command grep which looks for hdb someplace in it | 23:55 |
| hyperactivecrond | torple: mhm | 23:55 |
| genii | hyperactivecrond: heh | 23:55 |
| spiroo | hmm, well northing happened when I typed it into my temrinal | 23:55 |
| hyperactivecrond | spiroo: ok then there's no sdb anything in /etc/fstab | 23:56 |
| genii | hyperactivecrond: hdb I think was the search and not sdb | 23:56 |
| hyperactivecrond | genii: fdisk shows hdb though | 23:56 |
| dwidmann | That's really weird .... mouse lags like crazy in Q4 at 1680x1050, but not at 1600x1000, oh well, 1600x1000 is close enough | 23:57 |
| jordan_ | @ hyperactivecrond plz look http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62186/ | 23:57 |
| spiroo | Hmm, kind of confused here. I guess I try with sdb instead | 23:57 |
| hyperactivecrond | i hate uuids.. | 23:58 |
| hyperactivecrond | spiroo: uname -a | 23:58 |
| spiroo | Linux spiroo-desktop 2.6.24-15-generic #1 SMP Fri Apr 4 03:48:31 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux | 23:58 |
| jordan_ | is that a no then hyper | 23:59 |
| Kr|ptiX | can someone help me update my Intel 945GM Mobile driver | 23:59 |
| genii | spiroo: In previous versions of ubuntu the drives were like hda hdb hdc and so on, now they are usually sda sdb sdc and so on. Sometimes after an upgrade the fstab file does not reflect the change. But if fdisk reported hdX (Xmeans some letter a-z) then thats what it should be | 23:59 |
