[00:00] 2.6.24 [00:00] hi what can i use to capture avi from my webcamera in kubuntu... [00:00] which is the default in hardy [00:00] <_myrtille_> pteague: just understood what you really meant (probably): It's hidden somewhere in the gamesfolder [00:02] AmyRose: you do tatos? [00:07] 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? [00:08] 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 [00:09] I think you can change that in keyboard shortcuts [00:09] at least in xubuntu you can [00:10] if you tweak the command [00:11] k, i'll look through keyboard shortcuts... in gnome it just works... [00:13] Hello! How to remove packets installed by using "apt-get build-dep ..." and "apt-get -b source ..."? [00:19] 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] Ive tested Amarok and Smplayer [00:19] ipx: Perhaps the kde-control-center may help. [00:20] So you're suggesting me to install it too? [00:20] Im using gnome [00:20] ipx: Yes. [00:20] ipx: Should not matter. [00:20] Cant find it in the repos [00:21] kcontrol, found it [00:21] :-) [00:22] lol. the fonts in there is as small as smplayer and amarok. almost unreadable :/ [00:22] ipx: I'd give it a try. I have read that this could help, but never tried it. [00:22] Great, it works! [00:22] :) [00:22] They were at 10 in fontsize :/ [00:24] 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] ipx: just to tell the little anekdote. [00:25] hi === ubuntu is now known as SinNiji [00:25] <_myrtille_> hi :) [00:25] ^_^ [00:25] axel: Haha ;-) [00:26] ipx: at leas one feature of Ubuntu he likes to use. But that's an other, long story. [00:28] * arriesp gonna go [00:29] hum.. Envy tool works on Kubuntu? well.. this is my 1st run on Kubuntu, infact I am still on LiveCD (Installing!53%) [00:30] envy is neither recommended, nor supported. [00:30] the recommended method of installing restricted drivers is the restricted driver manager, which is already built into ubuntu and kubuntu. [00:31] I know but the problem is that I got a 8800 gts 512mb [00:31] SinNiji: Why use Envy when you can install the driver from the repository easily? [00:31] so to load up Kubuntu I got forced use Safe Graphic mode, and the Manager dont see my GPU [00:31] SinNiji: And what's the problem with this card/ chipset? [00:32] The manager dont see the GPU, and I am forced to install them manually.. and I am a little noob with Linux :/ [00:34] SinNiji: That's not a problem. "No Master fell from heaven" (German Proverb) [00:35] I am not scared :D I will fix in some way [00:35] SinNiji: Some links that might help: [00:35] http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd [00:35] Learn never is a problem (Italian Proverb) [00:36] Mh! I will check it right now! Thanks [00:36] http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide [00:36] http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/X11R7.0/doc/html/radeon.4.html [00:37] (8800 gts 512 is an nVidia, not ATI) [00:37] SinNiji: Sory. [00:37] where is the best place to view the kubuntu settings for the firewall [00:37] Its ok, its ok! [00:39] SinNiji: The command "lspci | grep VGA" shows what the system thinks what's your graphics card. [00:40] Its says.. "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 0600 (rev a2)" [00:40] SinNiji: At least it recognizes that nVidia is the manufacturer. [00:40] Hahah.. Yeah. Thats something, at last:P [00:41] SinNiji: If the drivers from the repository don't work: http://www.nvidia.it/object/linux_display_ia32_169.12_it.html [00:42] The Italian page too :) Very Kind [00:43] SinNiji: I'd prefer to try the drivers from the repository. [00:43] I think I will try the repository one! [00:43] SinNiji: "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new" should do it. [00:44] I will try them after this reboot. Thanks and forgive me:) [00:44] */leave [00:52] do i need timidity running if i'm using alsa? [00:54] pteague no, timidity is for midi emulation [00:55] 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] only if you need karaokes or guitar and drums software [00:55] i need it [00:56] nope... so it doesn't affect playing those old midi audio files does it? [01:09] ok, i'm forgetting something... how do i get the web shortcuts to work in konqueror? like gg for google [01:10] pteague: they should be working by default. the default delimeter is a colon, so gg:something [01:10] ah, that's what i was doing wrong... i was trying to do `gg something` [01:11] pteague: you can set it to use space instead [01:11] Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Web Shortcuts [01:12] SinNiji: Then configure the X-server by "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and restart the X-Server with [Strg] + [Alt] + [BackSpace] [01:13] tengo una duda con la memoria swap alguien me ayuda?

[01:28] mot_, fast and dirty way. Put the command in your rc.local file [01:30] Dr_willis, yea but doesn't rc.local get executed after device detection and boot? :P [01:33] its the last thing of the normal boot process === Jucato_ is now known as Jucato === Hoondie is now known as AndreerdnA [01:51] Hi! when I doubleclick on a folder in Dolphin, it twinkles one time before the folder is opened. This makes Dolphin kind of slow. I have searched for the setting in Dolphin and System Settings, but haven't found it. what can it be? [01:55] mEck0: Kubuntu is set to use single-click to open files and folders by default. did you change it to double click? === keith_ is now known as compilerwriter [01:57] what is strigidaemon? is that like trackerd & beagle?

[02:06] which is a front end to the apt-get system, adept is a more complex front end to apt-get. [02:06] it wont let me open add/remove [02:06] or use the terminal. 'sudo apt-get install WHATEVERpackage.' [02:06] You are using your initial user? or did you make another one? [02:06] I just install gusty and I have not sound [02:08] "Another process is using the packaging system database (proboly some other adept application ort apt-get aptitude)." [02:08] !aptfix [02:08] 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] i dont have a clue to do with that code [02:08] try this in a !terminal [02:08] !terminal [02:08] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[02:15] hey guys question, I'm doing a complete reinstall at this point and I'm about to download an image, my question is, even though the webpage says it's not released yet, is Hardy stable enough to use at this point? [02:15] :) === ubuntu is now known as Fritzel [02:16] Im usingit hardy now. [02:16] ? [02:16] Fritzel: you might get varying answers. you can try asking in #ubuntu+1 [02:16] if its on a test system.. its ok. if its on the 'it must work for my company/school' i would refrain. [02:16] it's stable enough to use. it's not google-stable beta, but it's also not microsoft-stable beta [02:16] definitely not on a production system [02:16] Jucato: er right ty, does that channel apply for kubuntu as well [02:16] yep [02:16] thank you /j #ubuntu+1 [02:17] oops [02:18] wow its setting up alot of stuff...

If your machine is a total test box, and you dont do any real work with it.. You could try hardy. [02:42] if you NEED it to work.. stick to gutsy [02:42] if you are running a company and want to pay for comercial support - stick with the dapper LTS [02:42] 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 [02:43] youtubeis not 'work' :) [02:43] hardy can do all that.. as can gutsy. [02:43] haha [02:43] yea [02:43] but hardy is undergoing updates - it can 'break' at times. [02:43] so ill try gutsy so i dont have to worry?? [02:43] genii> Try mashing down on the keyboard; I think the problem is that the H key is too high up to reach the inside button.

[02:44] It's smack dab in the middle, thus prone to being lifted too high, possibly moreso than M [02:44] so gutsy is better so i dont have to worry about it crashing?

[02:54] kkathman: do you want to share folders or see shared ones? [02:54] kkathman: If you have a regular install it won't have one, since it will just use smbclient only [02:54] if I want udf 2.5 support do i need to make my own kernel? [02:55] epimeth: well ya I can access my windows box on the network, but cant see any other boxes on the network [02:55] 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] yotux: The short answer is yes [02:55] kkathman: you should see all workgroups on the network [02:55] its weird I can smb:/servername in konq - and its shows up everything, but can just type smbl:/ [02:55] smb:/ [02:56] mEck0, there is kdict, which has the ability for offline usage. [02:56] genii: found a patch [02:56] epimeth: I dont - it says it cant find any [02:56] but it states that i need kernel source [02:57] well ok - now it seems to be working :) [02:57] lol [02:57] NickPresta: yes, there exists one, thx a lot!! [02:57] hmm musta held my mouth just right [02:57] kkathman: heh. nice one brova [02:57] * kkathman hates it when things are mysterious like this [02:57] yotux: I know, I've investigated trying to get udf 2.5 support myself, since Vista uses it to make backups on dvd [02:59] genii: have you gotten it to work? [02:59] yotux: Not yet [02:59] ok [02:59] genni: on my other box running beta I was able to get it to work [03:00] NickPresta: are you sure you can use it offline? because it doesn't seem so by default at least [03:01] Does anyone know of a way to edit ISO images? [03:02] bobleny, kiso - i think can do that [03:02] depends on what you want to edit i guess [03:03] NickPresta: founded some info now.... [03:03] 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] 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] kkathman: mysterious? have you ever *tried* to access a workgroup using 9x / me ? [03:03] mEck0, check out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=145949 [03:04] epimeth: sadly, yes :) [03:05] 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] NickPresta: thx a lot :) [03:05] bobleny: okay :S [03:05] Opps wrong person... Sorry last message was for stdin...

[03:11] stdin: Sorry about the wait... it says this: cp: omitting directory `/media/iso/boot' [03:11] bobleny: for copying directories use "cp -r" [03:13] Wow... [03:13] God, I'm stupid... [03:14] stdin: is there a utility for creating iso images? [03:14] I use k3b [03:15] K3B can create ISOs??? [03:15] just check the "Only create image" box when you choose "burn" === kamui__ is now known as kamui [03:17] Hi all, I'm wondering where the KDE3 version of Kubuntu Hardy Beta stores its session files? I want to create a new session type that uses KDE with xmonad [03:17] stdin: I don't see that option... [03:17] I screwed up setting up my locale [03:17] now its generating all locales [03:17] if I stop it, I cant apt anything until dpkg --configure -a has basically redone it [03:17] is there a way to remove the half configured locales package? [03:18] bobleny: just create a normal data cd, then when you choose "burn" there should be several check boxes, one of them is "only create image" [03:20] stdin: Oh, that's cool... Thanks! [03:21] this is a support channel for kubuntu? [03:22] Does linux have an equivelent to a start/run command as in windows? [03:22] In KDE, you can go to K menu, Run Command [03:23] Alt+F2, KMenu -> Run Command, right-click on desktop -> Run command [03:23] MrJoey: I meant in the terminal. LIke run command [03:24] 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] What does it do? What's the difference between "run kwrite" and "kwrite"? [03:25] machinatoor> Try a Live CD and see if the problem goes away. If not, you may have a damaged video card. [03:27] MrJoey: Trying to find a way to run a command without halting the current shell process. Basicly running the command as another process. [03:28] i need help with moblock :/ [03:28] Slynderdale: " &" [03:30] Slynderdale, just bear in mind that you need to "exit" the terminal rather than just closing it, if you want the launched process to continue [03:31] can someone help me with fixing my graphic problem http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii118/kript1x/wowss1.png [03:33] * Kr|ptiX is Away, Reason: ( at my friends crib ) | Since: ( Thursday, April 3, 2008. 17:51:00 ) Xlack v2.1 [03:34] !away > Kr|ptiX === michael is now known as migs === migs is now known as mogger [03:36] does 7.04 cd have kde4?

[03:37] NickPresta: so what do i do [03:37] isi 10G enough for kubuntu? [03:37] I guess uninstall KDE 3, upgrade to gutsy, and install KDE 4 [03:37] metbsd: totally [03:37] metbsd, you have 2 choices, I guess. Install Gutsy/Hardy and grab KDE 4, or stick with Feisty. [03:37] By uninstalling KDE 3, you won't have to download that [03:38] metbsd, 10G is more than enough for Kubuntu and such. [03:38] i have 7.04 dvd here, is it trash now? [03:39] 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. [03:41] How do I know where firefox is?
