| genii | Kr|ptiX: Intel driver for what devices? | 00:02 |
| stdin | RDC: I tend to just hit "Y" on those, to get the latest version | 00:02 |
| genii | Kr|ptiX: nvm I see now 945GM | 00:02 |
| spiroo | How does labelling in NTFS partitions work then? Is there nothing like it in ext partiions? Would be nice to see in future if not ;) Not a request though :P | 00:02 |

| jordan_ | that was cool thread | 00:12 |
| Jucato | spiroo: it will be | 00:12 |

| rui | thx again stdin... in honour of your assistance... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4654099#post4654099 | 00:24 |
| stdin | Nyad: echo $PATH | 00:24 |
| Nyad | tnx | 00:25 |
| stdin | or "env" to print them all | 00:25 |
| Nyad | echo env just prints env | 00:25 |
| stdin | rui: glad go it working | 00:25 |
| stdin | Nyad: no, just "env", no "echo" | 00:26 |
| stdin | I'd pipe that through less generally, like "env | less" | 00:26 |
| Nyad | how do I exit that thing? | 00:27 |
| stdin | press "q" | 00:27 |
| nosrednaekim | or control+c | 00:27 |
| Nyad | cntrl+z seems to do the same thing | 00:27 |

| Nyad | ok. what's a good ssh client? | 00:28 |
| stdin | I just use ssh | 00:29 |
| Nyad | sudo apt-get install ssh? | 00:29 |
| stdin | no, that'd install the ssh server, the client is already installed | 00:29 |
| Nyad | woops | 00:29 |
| stdin | use "ssh username@hostname" to use it | 00:29 |
| Nyad | should I remove the server or is it not serious? | 00:30 |
| stdin | remove it unless you want to be able to login remotely over the network | 00:30 |
| Nyad | ok | 00:31 |
| Nyad | if I do want to log into my pc from somewhere else how would I do that? | 00:32 |
| stdin | you just need to know it's IP address or DNS name. then you do "ssh (your user name)@(your IP/hostname)" | 00:32 |
| stdin | you can set host aliases locally by editing /etc/hosts or using the GUI (System Settings -> Network Settings ->(Administrator Mode) -> Domain Name System ) | 00:34 |

| jay | Howdy. Downloaded the latest beta of Kubuntu, trying to figure out where on the alt boot CD the RAID options are. I see LVM just fine, but I want the whole thing to exist on a RAID1. | 00:48 |
| DarkJustice | Hi, I've got a fresh install of kubuntu on a machine I'd like to network with my XP box, samba sees the shared folders on the kubuntu but doesn't see my XP box and I"ve also tried to add a user in smbusers but when I try to make the password it tells me Failed to modify password entry for user | 00:51 |
| jay | I know the Fedora installer has RAID options built into the partition manager, but I don't see somewhere to set that in Kubuntu. | 00:51 |
| jay | Unfortunately I don't really have the option to use the latest stable, as some of my hardware (SATA controller, for starters) is unsupported. | 00:53 |
| hummesse | hey everybody. The name of my desktop folder is named after the translation of "desktop" into danish, but i want it named "Desktop". How do i do that? | 01:02 |
| jay | hummesse: Start up a terminal, and type "mv $DANISH_NAME Desktop" | 01:05 |
| hummesse | ok and thats it? nice.. thanks | 01:05 |

| dek | is there a KDE GUI for Vim? | 01:30 |
| Nyad | kmenu-->system settings advance tab -->restricted drivers | 01:36 |
| tin | dek: not kde specific, but there is a gtk gui for vim | 01:40 |
| jereme | does anyone have a problem with the system hanging when logging out of X... 7.10, ATI card | 01:41 |
| tin | but unless you LOVE vim, kate is a great KDE editor | 01:41 |
| tin | jereme: what ati drivers? i've had some problems, i actually don't use kdm anymore, just console logins and startx | 01:41 |
| jereme | the pkg ati drivers I think, let me look again | 01:42 |
| tin | i've got an x1050 (rv360 according to Xorg), and i'm using the oldish 8.43 drivers i think, they're from november i think | 01:42 |
| jereme | yeah the ones ubuntu provides | 01:42 |
| tin | newer ones gave me weird problems getting the screen dimensions i wanted | 01:42 |
| jereme | 0.0.1+git20070918-1ubuntu1 | 01:43 |
| tin | 1152x864 isn't THAT weird, is it? | 01:43 |
| jereme | no | 01:43 |
| jereme | 2x1 is weird | 01:43 |
| tin | jereme: try new ones from ati, i actually kind of recall a fix for logout hangs in a recent version | 01:43 |
| tin | ati's installer can even make packages for you, so apt knows about all the stuff they install | 01:44 |
| jereme | from what the internets at googles are telling me, it might be related to framebuffer support | 01:44 |
| jereme | yeah the ATI drivers do it too | 01:44 |
| jereme | tried that awhile back | 01:44 |
| jereme | now I'm trying to get office 2k3 working in crossover and I'm finally tired of the lockups when I go to reboot | 01:45 |
| tin | what card? because kernel framebuffer support for most cards is shite | 01:45 |
| jereme | 9700 I think | 01:45 |
| tin | hmm, that's r300 series | 01:45 |
| tin | i think framebuffer support for them is crap, try taking that out of the kernel | 01:46 |
| tin | and/or try turning off kdm and starting X manually | 01:46 |
| tin | if you don't need kdm's multiple simultaneous session handling, you won't even notice the diff | 01:47 |
| jereme | ha there's a whole list of folks who have solved it by switching from DVI to D-SUB | 01:47 |
| tin | now that's weird, and sucky | 01:47 |
| Dr_willis | d-sub? Huh.. that the new replacement for dvi? | 01:47 |
| jereme | no kidding | 01:47 |
| Dr_willis | I aint even seen one of those yet. heh | 01:47 |
| jereme | Dr_willis: it's the newest thing... now we don't have to bother with that digital signal anymore | 01:47 |
| jereme | we can enjoy the wonderment of amazing analog signal! | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis | We need USB monitor conectors! | 01:48 |
| jereme | tired of crisp images and perfect fonts? | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis | but your movies now have auto-anti-aliasing! | 01:48 |
| jereme | I'm more into pro-aliasing.. | 01:49 |
| jereme | chunk that text up for me a bit | 01:49 |
| jereme | it's too readable | 01:49 |
| Dr_willis | C64 emulation | 01:49 |
| tin | well, raw pixels of 1024x768x32bpp@60Hz is 180 MB per second | 01:50 |
| jereme | there you go tin... check out 320x200 | 01:50 |
| tin | that's more than full speed usb2 | 01:50 |
| jereme | commodore had it right | 01:50 |
| tin | or hi speed, whatever the fastest one is, 400 Mbit per s | 01:50 |
| jereme | one of the owners of the co. I work for had a usb monitor | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis | tin, i did see some mention of a usb monitor - in a pc mag. | 01:50 |
| jereme | but returned it right away | 01:50 |
| jereme | I guess it was horrid | 01:50 |
| jereme | oh yeah they definitely exist, we briefly had them | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis | tin, aparentlyu the video card was in the moniitor not the pc. | 01:51 |
| jereme | yup, and it's a crappy card | 01:51 |
| tin | now, a graphics processor on usb would be feasible | 01:51 |
| jereme | it looks like dsub on a 50' unshielded cable | 01:51 |
| SlimeyPete | tin: it exists... someone released one a while ago now | 01:51 |
| SlimeyPete | apparently it was pretty naff | 01:51 |
| jereme | wrapped around a power substation | 01:51 |
| tin | could be even more feasible with a vector drawing system | 01:52 |
| tin | because then nly commands get sent over usb, not image data | 01:52 |
| tin | 640x480x32bpp@30Hz is only 55MBps | 01:53 |
| === william__ is now known as nonewmsgs | ||

| patoe1 | whats the diffrence? | 02:02 |
| nonewmsgs | patoe1: to get xubuntu too as see for yourself all you have to do is type sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 02:02 |
| Jucato | Kubuntu uses KDE. Xubuntu uses Xfce. | 02:02 |
| Jucato | !xfce | patoe1 | 02:03 |

| SlimeyPete | kubuntu uses KDE for its desktop environment, Xubuntu uses XFCE. Basically, they look different and have different apps installed by default. | 02:03 |
| SlimeyPete | It's all a matter of taste - they're the same system underneath. | 02:03 |
| patoe1 | ok | 02:03 |

| jereme | which stand for (s)ync disk, (u)nmount and re(b)oot | 02:05 |
| jereme | and even though I was seemingly frozen solid, I rebooted | 02:05 |

| jereme | and I noodle on guitar, so it's not much harder than some chords I've played | 02:07 |

| patoe1 | ? | 02:08 |
| jereme | nope | 02:08 |
| jereme | it's the other half of the print screen key | 02:08 |

| iceman1521 | with geexbox will i be able to play mp3s from a networked windows pc? | 03:54 |
| Dr_willis | iceman1521, i can with my geexbox :) | 03:54 |
| Dr_willis | Geexbox is .. a nifty thing. I have my laptop setup with it as grub boot option. | 03:55 |
| Dr_willis | I even watch videos and shoutcast streams | 03:55 |
| iceman1521 | ok well I'm just wanting to turn this POS windows 95 computer into a music player to connect to a stereo | 03:56 |
| iceman1521 | thats really all it needs to do | 03:56 |
| Dr_willis | geexbox can do that. You can even isntall it to hard drive if wanted. | 03:56 |
| iceman1521 | ok great | 03:56 |
| Odd-rationale | Dr_willis: were you looking for the "helpersnack" factiod? | 03:56 |
| iceman1521 | I'm totally new to linux, I've been wanting to mess with it for years but never have and this seemed like the perfect time to do so | 03:57 |
| Dr_willis | Odd-rationale, :) a lot of the old factoids are gone it seems. | 03:57 |
| Dr_willis | geexbox is rather hands off linux. :) | 03:57 |
| iceman1521 | well hands off seems like a good place to start | 03:57 |
| Dr_willis | You can run the geexbox customizer tool onwindows and make a customized geexbox live cd, you can then install. | 03:57 |
| iceman1521 | yeah, thats what I'm doing right now | 03:58 |
| Dr_willis | Then you can install geexbox to hard drive if you want to, or not. | 03:58 |
| Dr_willis | it boots very fast anyway from cd. | 03:58 |
| Dr_willis | ive had a lot of issues with the 'next' testing release/version/beta of geexbox however. :( | 03:58 |
| iceman1521 | yeah I'll probably install it to the hard drive, this computer has 6 gigs and its gonna have nothing else on except maybe some music | 03:58 |
| iceman1521 | I'll definitely be sticking with a stable version | 03:59 |
| Dr_willis | I have geexbox on a 50mb partition, then ubuntu installed after that. | 04:00 |
| Dr_willis | i have grub set where i can boot geexbox if i want to. | 04:00 |
| iceman1521 | I was also curious about this: is there a way to run linux while running windows, like run linux as a program of windows? | 04:00 |
| Dr_willis | iceman1521, vmware, virtialbox, qemu let you run linux inside windows | 04:01 |
| Dr_willis | or ya can use them to run windows inside linux | 04:01 |
| iceman1521 | ok cool, I'll check that out after I finish with this first project | 04:01 |
| patoe1 | lol anyone heard of the linux box thingy? | 04:02 |
| patoe1 | were your desktops are in a box and you can spin them and stuff | 04:02 |

| Dr_willis | yes we do. | 04:30 |

| iceman1521 | Once I burn a Geexbox image, how do I install it to my hard drive? | 04:33 |
| Dr_willis | havent read their docs yet? :) | 04:34 |
| Dr_willis | type 'install' at the grub: prompt | 04:34 |
| iceman1521 | lol no i gues not | 04:34 |
| Dr_willis | or was it grub: geexbox install | 04:34 |
| Dr_willis | One of those | 04:34 |
| Dr_willis | You can even keep video/audio files on the hd for geexbox to find. | 04:35 |
| iceman1521 | well I plan on wiping the hard drive clean when I install it | 04:35 |
| iceman1521 | I just got this computer for free from somebody who didn't want it so I don't need anything it has | 04:35 |

| saizai|work | I installed 32bit on this laptop (dell precision m4300) not realizing that it's a 64 bit cpu (intel t7500) | 06:10 |
| KevinAlaska | good question | 06:10 |
| TeslaTony | saizai|work: I'm pretty sure you have to back everything up and reinstall from scratch. Programs need to be reinstalled from scratch, too | 06:10 |
| Dr_willis | saizai|work, not that i have ever seen. and you proberly wont gain much by going 64bit anyway | 06:10 |
| saizai|work | well, this affects eg vmware | 06:10 |
| saizai|work | I wanted to install other OSes under it :-P | 06:10 |
| Dr_willis | On a laptop - i hear the 64bit stuff can have less/worse power saving features. which mean less battery life also. | 06:11 |
| TeslaTony | I switched to 32 bit after some trouble with the 64 bit and flash | 06:11 |
| Dr_willis | saizai|work, how much ram you got? | 06:11 |
| saizai|work | 2gb | 06:11 |
| saizai|work | 2.2ghz | 06:11 |
| Dr_willis | saizai|work, I dont think you will gain anything at all from going 64bit. | 06:11 |
| Dr_willis | dont know if you can run a 64bit OS on vmware/32bit or not. never tried. But i do thinki saw that as an option | 06:12 |
| saizai|work | hm. | 06:12 |
| TeslaTony | Meh...probably a slight performance increase, but not enough to notice for most applications you should run on a linux laptop | 06:12 |
| saizai|work | eg I'd like to run Vista & OSX in parallel | 06:12 |
| saizai|work | take advantage of the nice hardware virtualization | 06:13 |
| saizai|work | and possibly run games in vista under vmware | 06:13 |
| Dr_willis | games and vmware = proerly not goint to work very well. | 06:13 |
| Dr_willis | I run vista and OSX unver vmware on my 32bit disrto. :) | 06:14 |
| saizai|work | hm. | 06:15 |
| saizai|work | could I boot directly into it *and* use it w/ vmware? | 06:16 |
| Dr_willis | Huh? | 06:16 |
| Dr_willis | i boot to linux, run vmware, and run xp and osx in vmware. | 06:17 |
| hydrogen | there is some wonky method of booting into an installed partition using vmware | 06:17 |
| Dr_willis | or ya could piut vmware on windows, and run linux and osx under vmware then | 06:17 |
| hydrogen | but its dangerous and fairly undocumented | 06:17 |
| saizai|work | as in, have the vista run either in vmware or just straight as a boot | 06:17 |
| Dr_willis | hydrogen, yep. and it causes big issues at atime. | 06:17 |
| Dr_willis | saizai|work, thats NOT a good idea | 06:17 |
| neville_ | OS X in vmware? | 06:17 |
| saizai|work | mph | 06:17 |
| Dr_willis | neville_, yes. its doable..but not legal. :) | 06:17 |
| neville_ | Is that a hackintosh image, or a proper copy? | 06:17 |
| saizai|work | then what about my games? :( :-P | 06:17 |
| TeslaTony | saizai|work: I think the Mac version of VMWare will let you do it | 06:17 |
| Dr_willis | saizai|work, depends on the game. | 06:18 |
| * saizai|work gestures randomly | 06:18 | |
| Dr_willis | vmware does not emulate a real 3d card.. so thats the end of many games | 06:18 |
| saizai|work | well, I'd like to be able to run 'em somehow | 06:18 |
| Dr_willis | many popcap games work | 06:18 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 06:18 |
| neville_ | Have you tried Wine? | 06:18 |
| Dr_willis | but most of them work wine also. | 06:18 |
| saizai|work | neville_, I don't think that'd work for high-end graphics | 06:18 |
| neville_ | How high end is high end? | 06:19 |
| Dr_willis | it all depends on the game... | 06:19 |
| saizai|work | iunno. bioshock? | 06:19 |
| Dr_willis | wine = possibiallity, vmware = not going to happen | 06:19 |
| neville_ | Oh, yeah, problems there -_-v | 06:19 |
| Dr_willis | !appdb | 06:19 |
| ubotu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 06:19 |
| TeslaTony | For gaming, I'd recommend either running them through Wine (does NOT always work), or running Vista as your main OS, and virtualize OSX and Linux on top | 06:19 |
| neville_ | Er | 06:19 |
| neville_ | Anything but vista | 06:19 |
| neville_ | :P | 06:19 |
| neville_ | At least until they iron it out | 06:19 |
| Dr_willis | THEN theres the whole copyprotection issue. | 06:19 |
| saizai|work | which? | 06:19 |
| Dr_willis | I need to finish bioshock some day... im about 3/4 the way through | 06:20 |
| saizai|work | http://www.linux.com/feature/123800 seems to suggest that an upgrade would work | 06:20 |
| saizai|work | on fedora at least | 06:20 |
| saizai|work | to convert 32b -> 64b | 06:20 |
| nonewmsgs | why aren't we suggesting a dualboot? | 06:20 |
| neville_ | Haha yeah :P | 06:20 |
| saizai|work | if I could dualboot and still vmware into my other OSs, that'd be awesome | 06:21 |
| neville_ | Hold up, when I get my Hardy disk, how would I go about upgrading my installation from it? | 06:21 |
| nonewmsgs | no you boot windows and do your crysis and oblivion, etc | 06:21 |
| neville_ | Is it an option in the alternative installer? | 06:21 |
| nonewmsgs | and then you restart and you do emails in linux | 06:21 |
| Dr_willis | saizai|work, games are not going to work.. and if you boot to windows from the real hard drive.. it will see that its been installed on a new machine.. and set up all sorts of new devicews and so forth.. THEN if you boot back normally.. it will do it again | 06:21 |
| saizai|work | yeah but what if I suddenly need to SSH into my server inbetween games? zomg reboot would take soooooo loooooong :'( :-P | 06:22 |
| Dr_willis | Plus theres the XP/Vista hardware activation checks.. that will get all confused. | 06:22 |
| Dr_willis | what server? You can get ssh clients for windows... | 06:22 |
| saizai|work | (kidding a bit. but there are things I'd rather run under kubuntu) | 06:23 |
| Dr_willis | using a game machine as a 'spare server' ? must not be too imporntant a server.. heh | 06:23 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| saizai|work | hm. | 06:23 |
| saizai|work | could I vmware into my dualboot kubuntu64 install from a vista install w/out issues? | 06:24 |
| nonewmsgs | that is not how it works | 06:24 |
| KevinAlaska_ | microsoft requires a separate licence for windows even if is dual boot and running inVM | 06:24 |
| saizai|work | pfah. | 06:25 |
| Dr_willis | and if it gets reactivated too many times.. it will shut you down. :) | 06:25 |
| KevinAlaska_ | that I heard from microsoft them selves | 06:25 |
| Dr_willis | they changed the EULA for vista just because of vmare and other virtual-things :) | 06:26 |
| saizai|work | hmph. | 06:26 |
| saizai|work | could always just crack that | 06:27 |
| Dr_willis | if you have vista that came with your dell/compaq/whatever.. it may not even work on a vmware machine | 06:27 |
| KevinAlaska_ | its because windows sees the hardware setup as a standalone I'd and running in VM as different hardware setups as it looks like from the windows persective. | 06:27 |
| Dr_willis | You would be better off doing a clean install of a spare copy of XP into vmware | 06:27 |
| saizai|work | it came w/ xp but I wiped that partition when installing kubuntu | 06:27 |
| Dr_willis | but none of this is going to help your window games | 06:28 |
| saizai|work | all I left was the dell partition | 06:28 |
| KevinAlaska_ | the licence key will work on an OEM install cd of windows though | 06:28 |
| KevinAlaska_ | well. ethic wise. you can argue to download a torrent of the image if you have a key already | 06:29 |
| Dr_willis | if you can find a torrent thats not all full of.. stuff.. :) | 06:29 |
| nonewmsgs | KevinAlaska_: i usually do the opposite because i often still have the "real cd" but lose keys | 06:30 |
| * saizai|work just wants to get it to *work* | 06:30 | |
| Dr_willis | if it was the version that came with the DELL then technically hes not allowed to put that on another machine. BUt the definition of 'machine' is the issue. | 06:30 |
| Dr_willis | 'work' is not games. :) | 06:30 |
| KevinAlaska_ | ask a friend. some mom and pop computer places will give you a burned cd if you show them the licence key sticker | 06:30 |
| KevinAlaska_ | for a fee | 06:31 |
| nonewmsgs | OEM license keys and regular license keys aren' the same | 06:31 |
| Dr_willis | nonewmsgs, i was thinking that also. | 06:31 |
| saizai|work | basically I want a) 64bit if it's not too much a hassle, b) osx, vista, kubuntu gutsy/hardy, maybe xp, c) a shared area for as much as possible of the data / cross-compatible stuff; d) vmware or other parllels/xen-y virtualization between 'em if possible; and e) everything to work (eg game :-P) | 06:31 |
| saizai|work | and iunno what the best way to do that would be | 06:31 |
| KevinAlaska_ | I now... but a dell licence is an OEM type | 06:31 |
| nonewmsgs | multiple computers | 06:32 |
| saizai|work | nonewmsgs, ... and on just this laptop :-P | 06:32 |
| Dr_willis | saizai|work, 64bit will gain you nothing, you can eaially make a fat32 partition to share data but ntfs is read/writeable now a days. - vmware works fine. For games dual boot back to windows. | 06:32 |
| KevinAlaska_ | ebay I bet you can find some licence stickers from broke laptops etc | 06:32 |
| saizai|work | I thought you were saying vmware wouldn't work w/ an os (at least vista) that was installed as a primary boot | 06:33 |
| Dr_willis | KevinAlaska_, :) i recall some web site had 360 panarama of laptops/desktop machines..and you could read the stickers from those. :) | 06:33 |
| KevinAlaska_ | yes dual boot | 06:33 |
| Dr_willis | saizai|work, you do NOT want to run the currently installed windows/xp os on your hard drve inside vmware.. | 06:33 |
| Dr_willis | vmware can install /run xp/vista/whatever - but you do NOT want to run it from the 'installed system' | 06:34 |
| asobi | what's an easy gui zip/rar/tar program | 06:34 |
| Dr_willis | asobi, ark perhaps. or mc. :) | 06:34 |
| nonewmsgs | asobi: i like 7zip it handles everything | 06:34 |
| Dr_willis | depends on your needs. | 06:34 |
| Dr_willis | !info unp | 06:34 |
| ubotu | unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.12 (gutsy), package size 9 kB, installed size 72 kB | 06:34 |
| asobi | thanks | 06:35 |
| nonewmsgs | yeah the good dr_willis knows his stuffs | 06:35 |
| saizai|work | I like ark. | 06:35 |
| asobi | how do you put password in for ark? | 06:35 |
| nonewmsgs | although lately i use the default and it works so well 99% i am not even aware what it is ....beautifully seemless | 06:35 |
| saizai|work | Dr_willis, is OSX sensitive like that also? | 06:35 |
| Dr_willis | saizai|work, os-x under non apple hardware is not legal. :) ive never ran it on other hardware. just inside vmware. | 06:36 |
| Dr_willis | wich is also .. not really legal. | 06:37 |
| saizai|work | m | 06:37 |
| * saizai|work whistles | 06:37 | |
| nonewmsgs | doesn't osx require some goofy propritary chip to even install? | 06:37 |
| Dr_willis | I do own an apple machine however. :) | 06:37 |
| Dr_willis | nonewmsgs, thers hacked versions for vmware. | 06:37 |
| nonewmsgs | Dr oooo | 06:37 |
| Dr_willis | OSX uses that new type of bios/firmware thing.. in ther machines.. if thats what you mean. | 06:38 |
| saizai|work | I'm guessing partition management would also be a PITA | 06:38 |
| Dr_willis | EFI? EMI? vista was supposed to have support for it also.. but it dident. | 06:38 |
| Dr_willis | one of the main featrues of vmware was the use of virtual hard drives for the OS's so you can easially move/backup the whole OS | 06:39 |
| nonewmsgs | this sounds more like a proof-of-concept than an actual need | 06:41 |
| KevinAlaska | not to mention the ability to simply access programs you don't to loose or simply can't loose because you still need them. | 06:41 |
| saizai|work | 'cept I can't do that 'cause of the vmware-breaks-games thing | 06:41 |
| saizai|work | so I guess my choice is to just go with a straight multiboot, no vm | 06:41 |
| KevinAlaska | the directS factor | 06:42 |
| KevinAlaska | err. directX | 06:42 |
| saizai|work | well, maybe w/ xen? | 06:42 |
| KevinAlaska | if games or high multimedia stuff on windows... then might need the multiboot | 06:43 |
| KevinAlaska | but | 06:43 |
| Dr_willis | xen and vista/xp - not doable | 06:43 |
| Dr_willis | i think. | 06:43 |
| saizai|work | :/ | 06:43 |
| Dr_willis | unless they have done some serious changes in the last few months.. | 06:44 |
| saizai|work | unlikely | 06:44 |
| nonewmsgs | i'd have mentioned reactOS but then he'd want to have that too | 06:44 |
| Dr_willis | so we are back where we started.. if you want games = dual boot | 06:44 |
| Dr_willis | BeOS | 06:44 |
| saizai|work | yeah. | 06:44 |
| Dr_willis | Hiku | 06:44 |
| saizai|work | meh. | 06:44 |
| saizai|work | ohwell, dualboot is acceptable | 06:44 |
| KevinAlaska | depending on how bad you need windows on some other OS the you COULD reinstall the do I'd | 06:44 |
| jords | I've just upgraded from gutsy to hardy, and now sudo does'nt work : sudo: unable to resolve host jords-laptop. I think the problem is that jords-laptop isn't specified in my /etc/hosts file, but I can't sudo to edit it | 06:44 |
| jords | this seems like a big bug | 06:45 |
| nonewmsgs | jords: that isnt'a bug that's DNS | 06:45 |
| KevinAlaska | reinstall winXP image or crack it | 06:45 |
| Dr_willis | jords, boot to rescue mode and edit it. or boot live cd and edit it. | 06:45 |
| KevinAlaska | or reinstall!!!! XD. heh | 06:46 |
| jords | nonewmsgs: I know. But the hardy upgrade was what broke it | 06:46 |
| jords | Dr_willisL How do you do rescue mode? | 06:46 |
| === jerknextdoor is now known as bonerz | ||
| === bonerz is now known as jerknextdoor__ | ||

| KevinAlaska | isn't rescue mode via the kernel you select at start? | 06:48 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 06:51 |
| Dr_willis | all rescue mode does is tack on the 'single' option the the kernel= lines :) | 06:52 |
| Dr_willis | i think | 06:52 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. Vista service pack one adds support for new UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) industry standard PC firmware for 64-bit systems with functional parity with legacy BIOS firmware/ Thats what we were talking about with the SPECIAL chips for apple hardware i think | 06:55 |
| KevinAlaska | no idea about that | 06:57 |

| KevinAlaska | impatient are we!? :P I am | 07:01 |
| kkathman | the repositories say "click here" but nothing happens? | 07:01 |
| Dr_willis | compiz themes or Emerald themes? | 07:03 |
| Dr_willis | for emerald one Must do some commands/install some tools - to let the emerald theme manager get the latest themes | 07:04 |
| Dr_willis | !compiz | 07:04 |
| 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 | 07:04 |

| iceman15 | dr willis - i installed puppy and it worked | 07:34 |
| Dr_willis | iceman15, thats weird. | 07:34 |
| saizai|work | Dr_willis, what's your hardware? | 07:34 |
| * saizai|work is curious how hard it'd be to get osx on this thing | 07:35 | |
| Dr_willis | iceman15, try DSL next. :) | 07:35 |
| Dr_willis | saizai|work, as ive said befor.. I ran OS-X inside vmware. I got the vmware osx image.. and ran it :) took 10 sec. | 07:35 |
| Dr_willis | and it was not 100% legal to do so. | 07:35 |
| iceman15 | dr willis, do you know anything about puppy linux? since i have it working i figure i could just keep it and use it if i can figure out how to stream over the network | 07:37 |
| Dr_willis | Puppy is a full yet small disrto. You can easially install extra things on it. | 07:38 |
| Dr_willis | or mount samba shares, or whatever if you want. | 07:38 |
| iceman15 | ok cool, i do some browsing and hopefully figure it out | 07:38 |
| jerknextdoor | can anyone tell me how to add and remove apps from the kmenu? | 07:39 |
| Dr_willis | Yep theres 'puplets' that are thepuppy packages.. easy way would to be use fusesmb, if it has support for that. | 07:41 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. thers a menu editor i thought for kde. or you could mess with the various .destop files | 07:41 |
| Dr_willis | # apt-cache search kde | grep menu | 07:42 |
| Dr_willis | kmenuedit - menu editor for KDE | 07:42 |
| saizai|work | Dr_willis, you've not tried getting it to run straight then | 07:42 |
| jerknextdoor | sweet thanks. | 07:42 |
| Dr_willis | saizai|work, getting OS-X to install on non-apple-non-efi hardware.. will be a task | 07:43 |
| saizai|work | lol | 07:45 |
| saizai|work | I'll pass then | 07:45 |
| saizai|work | it runs well under vmware? | 07:46 |
| Dr_willis | it runs... | 07:46 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 07:46 |
| saizai|work | ha | 07:48 |
| saizai|work | any issues eg upgrading 10.4.10 to 10.5? | 07:48 |
| Dr_willis | you dont upgrade. :) | 07:48 |
| saizai|work | why? | 07:49 |
| Dr_willis | it will see its not a legit copy. | 07:49 |
| Dr_willis | go find it and try it out.. I ran it for all of 10 min just to see if it worked.. it did.. i dont reccomend using it. | 07:49 |
| saizai|work | there's not a 10.5x vmware image out? | 07:49 |
| saizai|work | m | 07:50 |
| Dr_willis | go look for it i guess.. Ive no idea. | 07:50 |
| saizai|work | m | 07:50 |
| saizai|work | I see an image of 10.5.1, tho not specifically for vmware | 07:51 |
| saizai|work | http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/gutsy/ is confusing re whether the amd64 version is appropriate for an 64-bit intel chip | 07:55 |
| TeslaTony | saizai|work: The amd64 version is for ALL 64 bit chips | 07:58 |
| SilentDis | will i be shot out of a cannon if i ask if there's a release date for 8.04 final? *braces for impact* | 07:58 |
| saizai|work | TeslaTony, so I've figured now that I read the wikipedia article | 07:58 |
| saizai|work | but that really wasn't clear from the release doc | 07:58 |
| TeslaTony | SilentDis: It's either the 27th or the 29th | 07:58 |

| rumbaroy | well, hello! | 10:45 |
| dsut | hello, world? | 10:46 |
| DexterF | how's the roadmap for hardy comming? release on 24th as planned? | 10:46 |
| DexterF | and what's it's status right now? beta as the bot says? no RC yet? | 10:46 |
| Dr_willis | Breakage every other day it seems . :) | 10:48 |
| rlount | DexterF, I have heard support for my Intel 3945 is broken so I have not checked much into it. | 10:48 |
| neville_ | Rushing right into the full release is seen as silly, right? | 10:48 |
| neville_ | How long in terms of support will Gutsy have left? | 10:49 |
| rlount | Sometime into 2009... | 10:49 |
| neville_ | I might not bother in that case, everything is currently in a utopia-like state of being :P | 10:50 |

| _noname | I have erased all my data with DRAN by accident. The process just started when i realised that it is in progress so i rebooted the machine quickly. Can i recover my data somehow? | 11:00 |
| DexterF | what's DRAN? | 11:00 |
| rlount | that sounds like it sucks. | 11:01 |
| _noname | DexterF: it's a livecd to safely remove data | 11:01 |
| DexterF | _noname: live linux? what does it use to erase the disk, dd or shred? | 11:01 |
| rlount | _noname, boot a live cd and mount the disk if you can... copy whats left off to another disk. (?) | 11:02 |
| rlount | _noname, DRAN or DBAN? | 11:02 |
| DexterF | _noname: a good analysis before rushing to action is prefered in disk recovery. first, gather as much info about the target as possible. can you rememeber the partition layout? | 11:02 |
| rlount | I have used deriks boot & nuke and thats what it does. use with the most extreme caution you know. | 11:03 |
| JoshOvki | the whole point of DBAN is so you CANT get data back | 11:03 |
| rlount | totally. | 11:03 |
| _noname | DexterF: i used this | 11:03 |
| rlount | works really well. | 11:03 |
| JoshOvki | yeh | 11:04 |
| _noname | DexterF: http://dban.sourceforge.net/ | 11:04 |
| JoshOvki | _noname: your buggered, like i said above its designed to stop you getting the databack | 11:04 |
| JoshOvki | you might be able to rescue all the stuff it didnt delete by booting from a live CD and copying everything to a new drive | 11:04 |
| _noname | DexterF: yes i had one winxp part on sda1 and sda3 - ext3 and swap at sda4 | 11:05 |
| DexterF | _noname: well, it depends on how the tools that come it work. let's assume they work from sector zero to end and you pulled the power realy quick chances are only your windows partition is gone | 11:05 |
| _noname | JoshOvki: so it's impossible to recover the data? | 11:05 |
| DexterF | _noname: if DBAN for some reasons start by randomly writing across the disk, you're probably screwed but that would be the first time I heard of such a tool acting like this. | 11:06 |
| JoshOvki | _noname: any data that it removed it is yes. Its made to you cant use any recovery software to get it back "DBAN prevents or thoroughly hinders all known techniques of hard disk forensic analysis." | 11:06 |
| JoshOvki | hard disk forensic analysis, is the techniques used to recover data | 11:07 |
| DexterF | JoshOvki: which usually means it uses "shred" which means it works sector 0 -> end. good chances only the first partition is hosed | 11:07 |
| DexterF | _noname: you say windows on sda1 *and* sda3 - so sda1 is win only, the OS, and sda3 is apps and data? | 11:07 |
| _noname | DexterF: too bad... i had lot of important data out ther (i mean the first partition) | 11:08 |
| _noname | DexterF: yes | 11:08 |
| DexterF | _noname: my suggestion: take the disk to a windows xp computer. install the following software: 1. Partition Magic 8.0 2. Stellar Pheonix for FAT/NTFS 3. Steallr Phoenix for Linux. | 11:09 |
| DexterF | _noname: use PM 8.0 to recover the partition table. use SP to recover data from the partitions (you'll need a fresh target disk) | 11:09 |
| JoshOvki | and prey alot | 11:10 |
| DexterF | for sda1: if you can recover the start, you pretty much have the start and end of sda1: sda1 starts at sector 64 and end right before sda3 (I guess, unless there's sda2, too) | 11:10 |
| DexterF | you can dd sector 64-(sda3-1) to a file and either run Stellar on this, or if Stellar happens not to support drive images (not sure) try GetDataBack. | 11:11 |
| _noname | i think i had swap@sda4 but i can't remember for sure DexterF | 11:12 |
| JoshOvki | _noname: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1885756&forum_id=208932 | 11:12 |
| DexterF | Stellar and GDB once got me back 70% of a crashed 120gig drive, so results are quite good. It's highly likely the first sectors on sd1 were the win inst, not data so I'd give it a shot. | 11:12 |
| DexterF | JoshOvki. _noname : there's no way to recover data that actuallay *has* been wiped. but _noname says he pulled the plug when dban was starting to work, so all we have here likely is a few lost sectors at the start of the disk. | 11:14 |
| DexterF | _noname: how big is sda1? | 11:15 |
| DexterF | ok, couple of kubuntu questions for a change: 1. in Gutsy, how do I get rid of Dolphin and have konqueror handle all file business again? | 11:16 |
| DexterF | and: why do konw mouse gestures not work anymore in gutsy? | 11:16 |
| llutz | !dophin | 11:17 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dophin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 11:17 |
| llutz | !dolphin | 11:17 |
| ubotu | 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. | 11:17 |
| llutz | DexterF: ^^ | 11:17 |
| DexterF | :) thanks | 11:17 |
| _noname | DexterF: about 80 gigs, the same is the linux part but honestly i can recover most of data stored on linux part. since i have it backed up | 11:17 |
| jordan_ | hey guys my xserver keeps randomly restarting? | 11:17 |
| DexterF | _noname: you'll get most of sda1/3 with PM and SP if really needed | 11:18 |
| DexterF | jordan_: but works in between? what card/driver? | 11:18 |
| jordan_ | dont laugh | 11:19 |
| jordan_ | geforce mx42o | 11:19 |
| jordan_ | i know an upgrade is needed | 11:19 |
| jordan_ | it could be hours or minutes | 11:20 |
| DexterF | jordan_: I use a radeon 7200 in my video machine... | 11:20 |
| jordan_ | nice | 11:20 |
| JoshOvki | better than my last card | 11:20 |
| DexterF | hmm, does it only occur on specific apps? | 11:20 |
| jordan_ | firefox is the main culpret | 11:20 |
| DexterF | like runnign 3d? do you use the closed src nv driver? | 11:20 |
| DexterF | firefox. fancy extensions? | 11:20 |
| jordan_ | i have the nvidia legend binary and restriced driver from nvidia and no ff ext | 11:21 |
| _noname | DexterF: is there a possibility to boot some kind of recovery cd and put all sda1 contents to ex-sda3 partition since i havent got any other disk to store the data on | 11:21 |
| JoshOvki | _noname: you could try backtrack2 | 11:21 |
| * rlount looks at backtrack2 | 11:22 | |
| DexterF | _noname: almost any live cd comes with dd or dd_rescue, that copied byte by byte. but the target partition needs to be the same size. | 11:22 |
| _noname | JoshOvki: any url? | 11:22 |
| JoshOvki | http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack.html | 11:22 |
| DexterF | you could then install win in sda1 again, put SP and PM on top and see what you can harvest from sd3 | 11:22 |
| JoshOvki | has some recovery software too | 11:23 |
| rlount | heh, I was thinking the ubuntu live cd. | 11:23 |
| JoshOvki | not sure how well it works tho | 11:23 |
| rlount | right. | 11:23 |
| _noname | DexterF: the same size as what? | 11:24 |
| rlount | DexterF, is right in that remembering the orig partition size(s) will be essential. | 11:24 |
| JoshOvki | is it possible to install madwifi and get it working without restarting? | 11:25 |
| rlount | maybe by restarting just networking. | 11:25 |
| _noname | rlount: you mean the exact size? in megabytes, bytes? | 11:25 |
| DexterF | _noname: same size as the original sda1. unless you have dd put the data in a file | 11:25 |
| DexterF | sectors | 11:25 |
| DexterF | cylinders will probably do, too | 11:26 |
| _noname | DexterF: i don't know if kubuntu comes with dd | 11:26 |
| rlount | _noname, DexterF is talking what you need. | 11:26 |
| jordan_ | just read it could be to over heating?? but t cant be that surely i can play cs:S for absolute hours with no problems | 11:26 |
| _noname | rlount: yes i see | 11:26 |
| jordan_ | at highest allowed settings with wine | 11:26 |
| rlount | anyone have an kubuntu cd to run apt-package --list against? | 11:27 |
| DexterF | jordan_: doesn't look like. more as if FF pulls some weird X function call which it chokes on and dies. unlikely for FF but not impossible. | 11:27 |
| jordan_ | yer but it is others | 11:27 |
| _noname | there's also a tool called active partition recovery, I wonder if it could help | 11:27 |
| jordan_ | i could be on konquerer | 11:27 |
| jordan_ | even konversation | 11:27 |
| jordan_ | amarok | 11:27 |
| DexterF | jordan_: low on RAM/swap? | 11:28 |
| jordan_ | 512 ram 1gig swap | 11:29 |
| DexterF | hmm. | 11:29 |
| DexterF | gutsy, you said? | 11:29 |
| rlount | _noname, there is a chance that if it was built w/ lvm (which I think is default), you could boot an ubuntu/kubuntu live cd, install the lvm-tools and see whats up with the drive. the lvm data might be intact... i wonder if that would be possible. | 11:29 |
| jordan_ | yup | 11:29 |
| DexterF | jordan_: compiz? | 11:29 |
| jordan_ | no | 11:29 |
| jordan_ | no special 3ds | 11:29 |
| jordan_ | 1 desktop | 11:29 |
| DexterF | odd. paste the Xorg.0.log somewhere. | 11:30 |
| jordan_ | whers that located | 11:30 |
| * rlount goes back to pkcs12 | 11:31 | |
| DexterF | jordan_: /var/log | 11:34 |
| _noname | rlount: lvm-tools? is that the exact package name? | 11:34 |
| jordan_ | xorg.0.log @ http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62222/ | 11:34 |
| DexterF | jordan_: looks fine, no critical errors or such. which should mean that X doesn't die because of an erro in X itself but someone else kills it or it runs out of memory. I suggest you open a terminal and run watch -n1 free and start usign your computer like you usually would. if RAM usage goes up drastically, some app has a mem leak. which would fit the symptom. try and figure which on eit is. | 11:37 |
| jordan_ | kk | 11:37 |
| jordan_ | but how will i see it if the mem leak spikes and x dies | 11:37 |
| rlount | _noname, one sec | 11:37 |
| jordan_ | 507712 497404 10308 | 11:38 |
| jordan_ | total used free | 11:38 |
| jordan_ | that norm? | 11:38 |
| DexterF | jordan_: you need to monitor it. look at the terminal every now and then. when mem usage goes up, run top and have it sort by mem usage. that will tell. oh, even better indicator: resources applet in kicker | 11:38 |
| DexterF | in german its KDE-Systemüberwachung, dunno what it is in engl or nl | 11:39 |
| jordan_ | ksysguard?? | 11:39 |
| rlount | _noname, no, not the pkg name. one sec. | 11:40 |
| * rlount digs through tomboy | 11:40 | |
| jordan_ | but whys there so much ram being cached in the first place | 11:40 |
| DexterF | jordan_: linux always uses as much ram as possible: "ram unused is ram wasted" so all ram that isn't needed for apps is used for buffers. the interesting line is one below, the entry "- buffers", that shows how much ram the apps are using. oh, and use free -m, that shows megabytes | 11:40 |
| jordan_ | oh ok | 11:41 |
| jordan_ | makes sense | 11:41 |
| DexterF | yup | 11:41 |
| jordan_ | 158344 used 34938 free | 11:42 |
| jordan_ | oops 349400 free | 11:42 |
| DexterF | in kde...? | 11:42 |
| jordan_ | yup | 11:43 |
| DexterF | darn low mem usage for kde... | 11:43 |
| _noname | DexterF: the stellar seems to be good but it's commercial so what i can do is to download a demo | 11:43 |
| DexterF | _noname: well you'll have to buy it. or.. ahem... well. | 11:43 |
| _noname | lol | 11:44 |
| _noname | i can't even dl it since i am on livecd... unless i can boot it from usb stick? | 11:45 |
| rlount | _noname, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/rescue-an-encrypted-luks-lvm-volume.html The instructions are for crypto/lvm, just ignore the crypto. it does work btw, I made it past the passwd part and was able to salvage some data before the drive totally gave up. | 11:46 |
| _noname | i mean i can't burn the iso image since i have livecd in my cd drive | 11:46 |
| rlount | _noname, how much memory in your machine? | 11:46 |
| DexterF | _noname: nah, you need a running windows. I think I saw a BartPE with Stellar preinstalled, but I really can't remember where. but seriously, for data recovery I'd use a fresh machine with plety of backup space. ask a freind or so. | 11:46 |
| _noname | rlount: 1 gig of ram | 11:48 |
| jordan_ | no pikes with flash | 11:48 |
| jordan_ | spikes* | 11:48 |
| rlount | _noname, heh, you might load the live cd 'toram' and get away with burning another. | 11:49 |
| DexterF | jordan_: chances are it first occurs after a while. mem leaks can be tricky. | 11:49 |
| * rlount shrugs and thinks millage may vary | 11:49 | |
| _noname | rl i don't even know how can i load it into ram? | 11:49 |
| jordan_ | although the flash is laggy | 11:49 |
| jordan_ | its actually got the freed ram upto 40meg from 10meg | 11:50 |
| jordan_ | buffers doubled | 11:50 |
| rlount | _noname, then have a friend burn one for you? | 11:50 |
| jordan_ | and cache halved | 11:50 |
| jordan_ | ut whats the laggy effect of flash about? | 11:50 |
| rlount | _noname, google livecd toram? ;) | 11:51 |
| * rlount looks and thinks maybe w/ out the question mark. | 11:51 | |
| SpeS | hi, can anyone help me with the configuration of a Maudio Delta66 please?? I know it works on win and I can see the modules in the kernel, and can see the signal in envy24control, but can't hear a sound from it in my Kubuntu... | 11:52 |
| rlount | _noname, seriously, you need to have some disk to put the data on, then some form of live media w/ tools on it to perform recovery, and a way to read instructions while you do it. | 11:53 |
| rlount | map that out and proceed. | 11:53 |

| _ZeuZ_ | Hmm... | 12:49 |
| _ZeuZ_ | LegolasV: Better try networkmanager instead directly, or try both, and tell me about the output | 12:50 |

| Nyad | how do I tell the packagers for kubuntu to add the new Pygame 1.8 to their repositories? | 13:00 |
| LegolasV | _ZeuZ_: btw, ubuntu doesn't need root for iwconfig / ifconfig | 13:00 |
| SlimeyPete | Nyad: if it's not in the hardy repositories, you can raise a bug on launchpad but I think the hardy repos are more or less frozen now | 13:01 |
| Nyad | frozen? meaning.... | 13:01 |
| SlimeyPete | meaning they won't add stuff. I could be wrong though. | 13:01 |
| Nyad | if a friend has given me ssh access to his pc, ie he gave me his username and password etc. How does he stop me from being able to get in? | 13:15 |
| CheGuevara | change his password | 13:15 |

| KalEl | does ktorrent show the availability anywhere? | 13:27 |
| Jucato | availability of? | 13:27 |
| KalEl | meaning if a torrent has only 90% of the chunks available from the peers i've connected, 90% is the availability | 13:27 |

| Jucato | !netsplit | KalEl | 14:07 |
| ubotu | KalEl: netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 14:07 |

| eagles0513875 | BluesKaj: unless u can really help me get those problems resolved im stickign with open suse which is the only one that works on here not even centos works on here only reason im guessing is that my hardware is too new | 15:14 |

| SpeS | hi, anyone knows where is alsaconf in kubuntu or the equivalent???? I can't make a Maudio delta66 to emit any sound... | 15:23 |
| BluesKaj | eagles0513875, sometimes if there is another OS , linux will see the drivers and setup the HAL accordingly , otherwise with brand new HW there's no way it can tell what it is. | 15:23 |
| eagles0513875 | BluesKaj: so i have to duel boot | 15:24 |
| BluesKaj | some ppl dispute this claim , but I read about it somewhere | 15:24 |
| eagles0513875 | BluesKaj: or what ur saying is deal with winblows vista | 15:24 |
| BluesKaj | not necessarily , maybe launchpad has a workaround for your HW | 15:25 |
| eagles0513875 | i posted 2 bugs on there bout it locking up during boot as well as when reading partitions on normal cd | 15:25 |
| BluesKaj | eagles0513875, have you tried a regular kubuntu cd , no special alternate installs etc , just the generic one | 15:27 |
| eagles0513875 | yes | 15:27 |
| eagles0513875 | not duel boot | 15:27 |
| eagles0513875 | it would be nice if i could honestly get rid of vista | 15:27 |
| eagles0513875 | the way things r looking its highly unlikley | 15:28 |

| eagles0513875 | ya im on open suse atm cuz its the onlyone that seems to work | 15:28 |

| PeterFA | Got KDE4 installed too. | 17:09 |
| Odd-rationale | PeterFA: I liked the kiss principle of arch and the control I had. But kubuntu is great too. Just can't decide which I want... | 17:10 |
| PeterFA | Kubuntu is less work and less guesswork. It makes sense and doesn't have you have to know stuff. | 17:11 |
| Odd-rationale | PeterFA: One thing that is keeping me from switching back to arch is that kubuntu and arch booted at about the same time. which is rather strange since arch is "supposed" to fast | 17:11 |
| PeterFA | Odd-rationale, one thing I found odd is that it ran faster than Gentoo, both Arch and Kubuntu. I guess I just didn't configure my Gentoo system correctly. | 17:12 |
| KalEl | i want to install kubuntu. can i / shall i install kde4 or kde3? | 17:13 |
| Odd-rationale | Also I like that I can use kubuntu *and* reccomend it to anyone. Couldn't do that with Arch. | 17:13 |
| Odd-rationale | KalEl: Your choice. I would choose kde3 though | 17:13 |
| toyo|desk | sparr_, it may end up being that you have to use hdmi to achieve the res that you want | 17:13 |
| toyo|desk | eg it wont happen over vga | 17:13 |
| KalEl | ok thanks | 17:13 |
| PeterFA | KalEl, you can install both. | 17:14 |
| KalEl | both will eat up space isn't it? or how much incremental space do i need to install kde4 over kde3? | 17:14 |
| PeterFA | KalEl, no idea. | 17:14 |
| KalEl | oh ok | 17:15 |
| PeterFA | KalEl, are you thinking about installing when you have a limited space? | 17:15 |
| PeterFA | KalEl, My download was 800 megs. | 17:15 |
| PeterFA | KalEl, that's what I remember seeing. | 17:15 |
| KalEl | i am currently using ubuntu with an 8gb partition - i think about 4gb is free, i'll install kde3 over it | 17:15 |
| PeterFA | KalEl, you can add KDE4 for install and see what it takes. | 17:15 |
| KalEl | ok | 17:16 |
| PeterFA | KalEl, add another hardrive and mount it as / and move all the files over there. | 17:16 |
| KalEl | ok thanks | 17:16 |

| richard | a\ny one able to help with a wine problem? | 17:20 |
| toyo|desk | yes | 17:21 |
| toyo|desk | let me get a glass | 17:21 |
| toyo|desk | :) | 17:21 |
| richard | toyo|desk: basicall i installed wine then tried to install steam steam installs ok but crashes when it loads i traced this back to gecko | 17:22 |
| richard | when i run gecko i get this error Unhandled exception: page fault on write access to 0x00000024 in 32-bit code (0x01056cde). | 17:22 |
| Ashex | how does one manually remove a saved session? | 17:22 |
| toyo|desk | hmm richard I have never attempted to install steam on wine | 17:24 |
| Ashex | steam will run in wine just fine | 17:25 |
| Ashex | just make sure you've setup dx9 in wine beforehand | 17:25 |
| Ashex | otherwise it's useless | 17:25 |
| === rt is now known as Red_Tear | ||
| toyo|desk | To be able to use steam with wine you need to Install the tahoma.ttf font. Additionally, you must download and Install the Mozilla ActiveX control | 17:25 |
| toyo|desk | thats off the fedora howto | 17:25 |
| Ashex | yup | 17:26 |
| toyo|desk | that may be your gecko issue | 17:26 |
| Ashex | you don't really need gecko for it | 17:26 |
| Ashex | if all you're doing is playing games, it isn't really needed | 17:26 |
| cached | last time i had ubuntu installed, all i had to do to get vpn working was type "sudo vpnc" | 17:26 |
| Ashex | just won't see anything on the main screen | 17:26 |

| PhilRod_ | gean: depends more on what you want to do than on your hardware. Just grab the latest stable version (gutsy, I think) | 17:41 |
| gean | for a dual core processor i need the 64-install version? | 17:41 |
| llutz | gean: no you don't | 17:41 |
| gean | philrod_ , llutz : ok, thanks, the i386 kubuntu desktop 7.10 is ok... i already have it, it works perfectly on the 4GB asus eee already! | 17:43 |

| PeterFA | Odd-rationale, yes. | 17:55 |
| BluesKaj | PeterFA, how did you set up your sound in arch? I'm quite sure it'll be very similar in kubuntu. | 17:56 |
| Odd-rationale | PeterFA: did you check your alsa-mixer already? | 17:56 |
| PeterFA | Odd-rationale, yeah. | 17:57 |
| PeterFA | Ah, wrong device. | 17:57 |
| Odd-rationale | PeterFA: ok :) | 17:57 |
| PeterFA | i have like 3 devices that can be registered as cards. | 17:57 |
| PeterFA | Is there an interface that let's me select which card to use by default? | 17:59 |
| PeterFA | Well, some easy way to make it use the right card perminately? | 17:59 |
| spawn57 | hi, anyone having trouble with hal at times? | 18:00 |
| spawn57 | it crashes for me whenever I plugin my sony ericsson phone to read the memory stick | 18:01 |

| toyo|desk | PeterFA, you have 3 sound cards | 18:02 |
| toyo|desk | ? | 18:02 |
| PeterFA | Yeah. | 18:02 |
| PeterFA | toyo|desk, on on my video capture, one on my onboard, one on my added. | 18:03 |
| toyo|desk | PeterFA, I used /etc/asound.conf to force it to use my audigy | 18:03 |
| PeterFA | toyo|desk, thanks. | 18:04 |
| toyo|desk | pcm.!default { | 18:04 |

| toyo|desk | forces EVERYTHING through that card | 18:04 |
| toyo|desk | including flash | 18:04 |
| toyo|desk | makes it quite nice | 18:05 |
| PeterFA | What's esound.conf? | 18:05 |
| toyo|desk | its for the enlightened sound daemon | 18:05 |
| toyo|desk | esound generally uses alsa | 18:06 |
| toyo|desk | PeterFA, cat /proc/asound/cards | 18:06 |
| toyo|desk | that will give you the names of your cards | 18:06 |
| PeterFA | toyo|desk, where do I stick my asound.conf? | 18:06 |
| toyo|desk | like how I put Audigy in my config | 18:06 |
| PeterFA | toyo|desk, I have an asound.conf already. | 18:06 |
| toyo|desk | yours may be different | 18:06 |
| toyo|desk | PeterFA, is there stuff in your asound.conf | 18:07 |

| ubuntu | how to mount ntfs read and right | 21:38 |
| Odd-rationale | ubuntu: try "sudo rm /mnt/hda5/pagefile.exe" | 21:38 |
| ubuntu | rm: cannot remove `/mnt/hda5/pagefile.exe': Read-only file system | 21:39 |
| Odd-rationale | ibilic: idk. | 21:39 |
| ibilic | also, what if one of them is a sudo command? | 21:39 |
| ubuntu | ntfs! | 21:39 |
| Odd-rationale | ibilic: then you will need to type your passwd | 21:39 |
| Odd-rationale | ubuntu: I guess you can try installing ntfs-g3. you can install stuff temporority on livecd sessions | 21:40 |
| ibilic | yeah... but will I have to type it only at the beginning, even though only the last one requires sudo? | 21:40 |
| Odd-rationale | ibilic: if the first one does not require sudo and the second one does, then you will only neeed the passwd when #1 is finished | 21:40 |

| patoe1 | do i want RPM or not? | 21:45 |
| Odd-rationale | patoe1: you want .deb | 21:45 |
| patoe1 | my choises are | 21:45 |
| patoe1 | Linux RPM (self-extracting file) filesize: 18.32 MB | 21:45 |
| Odd-rationale | patoe1: but first check the repos! | 21:45 |
| patoe1 | Linux (self-extracting file) filesize: 18.83 MB | 21:46 |
| patoe1 | and that | 21:46 |
| patoe1 | ?? | 21:46 |
| patoe1 | im lost lol | 21:46 |
| Odd-rationale | patoe1: rpm is for redhat linux distros. .deb is for debian linux based distros. Ubuntu is debian based. | 21:46 |
| patoe1 | well there is no .deb the one is rpm and the other looks like a .bin | 21:47 |

| Jucato | eljefe: #ubuntu+1 | 21:54 |
| eljefe | ok thanks | 21:55 |
| sourcemaker | Jucato: the installation was fine... it's complaining starting the service | 21:55 |
| Jucato | sourcemaker: if it complains when you're trying to run it, you might need to load some kernel module first | 21:55 |
| Jucato | I'm not sure, I think "sudo modprobe vboxdrv" | 21:55 |
| sourcemaker | Jucato: I have already tried this... module not found | 21:56 |
| Jucato | I think there's a #virtualbox or #vbox channel for help | 21:56 |
| Jucato | hm.. | 21:56 |
| sourcemaker | Jucato: I have not restarted the system after installation... is this the problem? | 21:56 |
| Jucato | no | 21:56 |
| Jucato | sourcemaker: I'm presuming you installed virtualbox-ose from the repositories right? | 21:56 |
| sourcemaker | Jucato: yes... I have | 21:57 |
| Jucato | sourcemaker: have you installed virtualbox-ose-modules too? | 21:57 |
| Jucato | virtualbox-ose-modules-generic I mean | 21:58 |
| sourcemaker | Jucato: yes... I have installed both modules... generic and rt | 21:58 |

| x357 | what about installing software, the .rpm what do i use? | 22:37 |
