| Y_Less` | Hi, I have a very odd problem. I'm running 8.04 beta on an HP Pavilion dv6000. I've installed a few libraries to get things like wireless support installed and working, as well as quite a few bits for games but for some reason my hard disk seems to periodically just flood itself. I'll get a message saying that the HD is less than 4% free, but I know there is a aroung 38gb free. I tracked the data down to a folder in | 00:21 |
| Y_Less` | home->.strigi. Deleting it doesn't seem to adversely affect the system but after a while the messages start coming back and just now my entire hard disk was full for no apparent reason. | 00:21 |
| NickPresta | Support for Hardy in #ubuntu+1 | 00:21 |
| Y_Less` | Does anyone know what's going on? | 00:21 |
| Y_Less` | ahh, cheers | 00:21 |

| boa__ | .. | 01:35 |
| boa__ | hello | 01:35 |
| Odd-rationale | hi, boa__ | 01:35 |
| boa__ | what's up Odd¿ | 01:36 |
| Odd-rationale | boa__: not much... | 01:36 |
| Odd-rationale | you? | 01:36 |
| boa__ | me too man | 01:37 |
| boa__ | yow Odd you speak french¿ | 01:38 |
| Odd-rationale | boa__: no I don't. but you can go to #ubuntu-fr | 01:39 |
| Odd-rationale | !fr | 01:39 |
| ubotu | Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 01:39 |
| boa__ | ;P i know it's just a question | 01:39 |
| Odd-rationale | boa__: oh, ok. I was just trying to help out. :| | 01:40 |
| boa__ | thanks man :) | 01:40 |
| sloth | how can i save cmds for easy reference in konsole? | 01:41 |
| Odd-rationale | sloth: what do you mean? | 01:41 |
| sloth | i type a cmd in konsole | 01:42 |
| sloth | is there a way to save if for future use? | 01:42 |
| sloth | save it | 01:42 |
| sloth | like a bookmark | 01:42 |
| boa__ | yow Odd if i have a problem with the synaptic update ,can i update my gusty to the 8? | 01:43 |
| Odd-rationale | sloth: well it is saved in you bash history. so you can use the up arrow key to scroll through recently used cmds | 01:43 |
| Dr_willis | sloth, make an script/bin directory and save your common commands to little scripts. if needed | 01:43 |
| Dr_willis | or setup alias's in your .bashrc or other files. | 01:43 |
| Odd-rationale | boa__: synaptic? are you using kubuntu or ubuntu? | 01:43 |
| sloth | um, over my head? | 01:43 |
| boa__ | kubuntu | 01:43 |
| Dr_willis | sloth, then its time to read some bash begeinner guides | 01:43 |
| Odd-rationale | sloth: what command would you like to save? | 01:44 |
| sloth | link? | 01:44 |
| Dr_willis | !bash | 01:44 |
| ubotu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 01:44 |
| Dr_willis | !cli | 01:44 |
| Dr_willis | thers also 10000's of bash guides out on the web. | 01:44 |
| Odd-rationale | sloth: Also, i reccomend www.linuxcommand.org | 01:44 |
| sloth | trying to save this: find / -type f -size +20000k -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $8 ": " $5 }' | 01:44 |
| Odd-rationale | sloth: ok. then open your ~/.bashrc file and we'll just put an alias for that. | 01:45 |
| Dr_willis | echo ' find / -type f -size +20000k -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $8 ": " $5 }' ' > bigcommand :) then chmod +x bigcommand | 01:45 |
| Dr_willis | is another way | 01:45 |
| sloth | .bashrc file? | 01:46 |
| Odd-rationale | boa__: shouldn't you be using adept instead of synaptic? | 01:46 |
| Odd-rationale | sloth: do "kate ~/.bashrc" | 01:46 |
| Dr_willis | sloth, the .bashrc file gets ran at the start of every new shell. it has settings and aliass in it. YOu can set an alias for that command in there easially. | 01:46 |
| sloth | ah | 01:46 |
| Dr_willis | OR you could make a little shellscript for that command. (which is what my example did) | 01:46 |
| sloth | shellscript? | 01:47 |
| Dr_willis | yes a shell script.. Bash Basics.. | 01:47 |
| sloth | maybe i should read on it first | 01:47 |
| sloth | then bother you two | 01:47 |
| sloth | ^^ | 01:47 |
| Dr_willis | my command made a file called 'bigcommand' - You can then chmod +x bigcommand, then run that command with ./bigcommand | 01:48 |
| Odd-rationale | Dr_willis: would you have to prepend that with #!/bin/bash ? or no? | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis | sloth, yep. this is all rather straight forward | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis | Odd-rationale, not really :) but its better practice | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis | sloth, if you are going to have a lot of custom commands and scripts make a 'bin' dir and keep them in there | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis | Thats common practice to keep them there. | 01:48 |
| Odd-rationale | I think an alias would be a better idea... | 01:48 |
| Odd-rationale | for one 1 loc | 01:49 |
| Dr_willis | I perfer the bin/scripe method. because its easier for me to backup/move my bin dir to other machines/disrtos/users :) | 01:49 |
| sloth | on a seperate topic...why is that when i do a virus scan, a lot of the files show up as access denied (using klamav) | 01:49 |
| Dr_willis | plus i have 200+ scripts in bin anyway | 01:49 |
| boa__ | by the way odd how can i solve a problem with the repositories ,i have to save my source.list or add anothers repositories | 01:49 |
| Dr_willis | sloth, because as a USER you cant acc4ess them., | 01:49 |
| sloth | oh | 01:50 |
| Odd-rationale | I create a .bash_aliases file which I can back up :) | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis | sloth, klamv is scanning for WINDOWS viruses anyway :) most of the time. | 01:50 |
| sloth | and what does empty files mean? | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis | empty files? | 01:50 |
| sloth | yea | 01:50 |
| Odd-rationale | boa__: what are you trying to do? | 01:50 |
| sloth | klamav says empty file | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis | i guess it depends on what ifle it says is empty. :) | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis | I rarely use klamv, no real need for it. | 01:51 |
| sloth | a LOT were empty | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis | files with zero size i guess.. | 01:51 |
| sloth | /usr/share/java/xalan2.jar | 01:51 |
| sloth | for example | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis | No idea why that would be a security issue. | 01:51 |
| sloth | what about zip.exceededfileslimit | 01:52 |
| Dr_willis | !virus | 01:52 |
| ubotu | A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 01:52 |
| Odd-rationale | boa__: are you trying to add a repo? | 01:52 |
| boa__ | update but i can't because it can't access to some repositories | 01:52 |
| Dr_willis | !info clamav-docs | 01:52 |
| ubotu | clamav-docs (source: clamav): documentation package for clamav, an anti-virus utility for Unix. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.91.2-3ubuntu2.3 (gutsy), package size 992 kB, installed size 1420 kB | 01:52 |
| Odd-rationale | boa__: you're trying to do "sudo apt-get update" but some repos are timing out? | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis | install/read the docs for clamav i guess. :) | 01:53 |
| boa__ | yes | 01:53 |
| sloth | thanks | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis | unless you want to scan your windows system. You proberly dont need to worry about klamav | 01:53 |
| Odd-rationale | boa__: i guess the only thing you can do is try changing you mirror. | 01:53 |
| sloth | windows system? | 01:54 |
| sloth | just using gutsy here | 01:54 |
| boa__ | link? | 01:54 |
| Fritzel | ok this is probably something simple but does anyone know why I would get this message when attempting to compile a plasmoid in KDE4? http://pastebin.com/d1595a17b (question already posed in #ubuntu+1) | 01:55 |
| Odd-rationale | boa__: open adept and go to adept --> manage repositories. then select a different mirror from the drop down menu | 01:56 |
| boa__ | well i can't install adept odd because it can access to his url | 01:58 |
| boa__ | sorry odd i want to say the manager propreties option is unvailable i cant access | 02:03 |

| kissofavampire | anybody out there who can tell me where i can turn off these crappy tooltips? | 02:16 |
| kissofavampire | sry 4 my bad english ;) | 02:16 |
| Dr_willis | what tooltips | 02:17 |
| === [1]Netham45 is now known as Netham45 | ||
| genii | Dr_willis: I imagine he means the context popups when you hover on something | 02:17 |
| kissofavampire | when my mouse cursor touches the "k" menu there is an animated tooltip | 02:17 |
| Dr_willis | thats disabeable somewhere. :) i forget where.. | 02:18 |
| kissofavampire | Dr_willis: same here but i installed kubuntu new a few minutes ago... | 02:18 |
| genii | kissofavampire: System Settings...Appearance...Style... uncheck "Enable Tooltips" | 02:20 |
| kissofavampire | this doesn't work 4 me...do i have to restart x system? | 02:21 |
| genii | no | 02:21 |
| genii | kissofavampire: After changing it there make sure to hit Apply button in bottom right corner | 02:22 |
| kissofavampire | i've clicked the aply button... | 02:22 |
| kissofavampire | +p | 02:22 |
| kissofavampire | i also thought it was there but these tooltips are still present | 02:23 |
| genii | kissofavampire: Should take effect immediately. If not then perhaps a restart of X is needed. I leave them on normally so do not know offhand | 02:23 |
| kissofavampire | thx a lot i'll try to restart | 02:24 |

| EnsGabe | Has anyone had trouble using Gnash with konqueror? | 02:33 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | omit "with konqueror" and the answer is "yes, yes we have" | 02:34 |
| genii | Daisuke-Laptop: Heh smartass | 02:34 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | gnash isn't going to cut it if you need to do anything that requires a version of flash released even remotely recently | 02:35 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | genii: thank you :) | 02:35 |
| EnsGabe | Thanks, Daisuke-Laptop, but 90% of what I use it for is covered by the mozilla-plugin-gnash package. So keep it to yourself | 02:36 |
| EnsGabe | Specifically, the plugin doesn't even show up in the plugin dialog box after I scan for new plugins | 02:36 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | EnsGabe: a bit bitter, are we? | 02:37 |
| EnsGabe | Daisuke-Laptop: best example of projection all day | 02:38 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | and mozilla-plugin-gnash probably won't help with konqueror | 02:38 |
| EnsGabe | rather, the konq-plug-gnash plugin doesn't show up-- the mozilla-plugin-gnash plugin shows up and every page with flash elements SIGSEGV's | 02:38 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | ah | 02:38 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | i'm not bitter, i'm disappointed | 02:38 |
| EnsGabe | Daisuke-Laptop: fair enough. It's one of the few things these days that's labelled and shows it | 02:39 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | i haven't run into the problem, and i'm seeing nothing anywhere i'm looking, except for some relaly old bugs that were fixed before feisty came out... | 02:43 |
| EnsGabe | '/usr/lib/kde3/libklashpart.so' is the actually plugin, right? | 02:44 |

| _ZeuZ_ | how can I install a Winmodem into Kubuntu? | 02:54 |
| _ZeuZ_ | More specifically | 02:54 |
| _ZeuZ_ | HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP >>> That | 02:55 |
| _ZeuZ_ | Besides buying the HSF driver, of course | 02:55 |
| genii | _ZeuZ_: What does lspci spefically report for the modem device? | 02:55 |
| Jucato | !winmodem | 02:55 |
| ubotu | You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto | 02:55 |
| genii | *specifically | 02:55 |
| genii | Jucato: I've compiled the Conexant HSF drivers by hand, I may be able to assist (possibly) | 02:56 |
| _ZeuZ_ | genii: dunno, I have to use Windows to browse... | 02:57 |
| Jucato | kool | 02:57 |
| snake_ | дайте irc русской тех.поддержки | 02:57 |
| Jucato | genii: may you be possible to give me some coffee? :P | 02:57 |
| _ZeuZ_ | hsf by hand? how did you manage to get the source if it's paid? | 02:57 |
| Jucato | !ru | snake_ | 02:57 |
| ubotu | snake_: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 02:57 |
| genii | _ZeuZ_: Before the linmodem people got ahold of it, the earlier source code was available. | 02:57 |
| _ZeuZ_ | genii, is it still avaible somewhere? | 02:58 |
| genii | _ZeuZ_: First we need to discover if it is a modem which has vendor codes that would make trying to compile the full-speed driver worthwhile | 02:58 |
| * genii makes Jucato an extra-large Kubuntu mug of coffee | 02:59 | |
| _ZeuZ_ | It does for me... | 02:59 |
| _ZeuZ_ | but, let me check... by the way, I need a link to a hardy package for scanmodem so I can dowload it from Windows, then mount the partition, copy the package and dependencies, and dpkg -i them | 03:00 |
| genii | _ZeuZ_: Even when manually compiled, it doesn't work for all of them, especially a lot of the newer ones. And it was originaly specifically for the Conexant line | 03:00 |
| _ZeuZ_ | (hardy 64bits) | 03:00 |
| _ZeuZ_ | !repositories hardy | 03:00 |
| genii | _ZeuZ_: I'll see if I can rediscover the web sites i worked from originally. | 03:01 |
| _ZeuZ_ | Cool, either way, first I would need a link to a hardy version of scanmodem for a 64bits plataform, any idea where can I get that? packages.kubuntu.org is something I guess doesnt exist... | 03:02 |
| genii | _ZeuZ_: Hangon, is this a Dell box? Because they actually supply a deb file | 03:02 |
| genii | (you will be in luck if it is) | 03:03 |
| _ZeuZ_ | Just found that also, it's HP here, but perhaps it could work... | 03:03 |
| genii | _ZeuZ_: The HSF dell driver is supposed to be for 7.04 but i know for fact it works on 7.10, I've done it. 8.04 tho dunno | 03:04 |
| _ZeuZ_ | Installing wont get me to a Kernel Panic so I dunno if it will be that disastrous | 03:05 |
| genii | But also is 32 bit which cold be an issue | 03:05 |
| genii | *could | 03:05 |
| _ZeuZ_ | Hmmm... I'll get it pirated... (HSF full driver) | 03:06 |
| _ZeuZ_ | but first, I need to get scanmodem (taking in count I'm in Windows Right now, and I've got to download it here and then copy it and dpkg -i it) | 03:07 |
| _ZeuZ_ | any idea the URL of the repos_ | 03:07 |
| genii | _ZeuZ_: Well, you could always just pay the $20 to linuxant and be done with it also | 03:07 |
| _ZeuZ_ | 20 dollars equals 90 pesos with what you eat 2 weaks... | 03:07 |
| genii | _ZeuZ_: scanmodem is not a program which is in the repos. I't specific to the linmodem website | 03:08 |
| genii | *It's | 03:08 |
| Elazar | Anyone have any experience getting vga-out working on integrated Intel 965 chipset VGA controllers? | 03:09 |
| Elazar | All solutions I've tried thus far just end up with X failing to boot because it stops being able to adjust the resolution on the primary display. | 03:10 |
| Elazar | xrandr can see a connection on the vga-out port when I plug an adapter in, so I know that's working. Just not sure how to proceed trying to get a clone display running. | 03:11 |
| genii | _ZeuZ_: At any rate, http://132.68.73.235/linmodems/index.html#scanModem | 03:13 |
| _ZeuZ_ | downloading it allready | 03:13 |
| _ZeuZ_ | aint if easier to do lspci -vvv | grep Modem ? | 03:13 |
| _ZeuZ_ | !hardy traceroute | 03:14 |
| genii | _ZeuZ_: The scanmodem tool will give *detailed* information specifically about the winmodem | 03:14 |
| _ZeuZ_ | once again, wouldn't lspci do that? or does this also test the commands sent to the modem? | 03:15 |
| genii | _ZeuZ_: When looking for a package for a specific dist, the syntax of the bot factoid is: !info packagename distname eg: !info traceroute hardy although not sure if it's databbase yet incldes 8.04 | 03:15 |
| genii | _ZeuZ_: It intensively interrogates all the commands the thing accepts plus many other things | 03:16 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i would just like to say: dell's site has the full driver you need. | 03:16 |
| _ZeuZ_ | !info traceroute hardy | 03:16 |
| ubotu | traceroute (source: traceroute): Traces the route taken by packets over an IPv4/IPv6 network. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.9-3 (hardy), package size 46 kB, installed size 172 kB | 03:16 |
| _ZeuZ_ | Daisuke-IDO: For i386 | 03:17 |
| genii | Daisuke_Ido: It's 32 bit only there. | 03:17 |
| _ZeuZ_ | not for 64bits kernel | 03:17 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ooh, x64? | 03:17 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ouch | 03:17 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i have to say, i am extremely upset that anyone would charge money for a driver | 03:17 |
| genii | Hopefully they'll get enough pressure to release a 64 bit soon | 03:17 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you already paid for the hardware in some way or another... | 03:17 |
| _ZeuZ_ | genii: I would like the bot to handle me a URL to download the package, as I cant use the modem yet in linux | 03:17 |
| Elazar | No one? :( | 03:18 |
| genii | Elazar: Perhaps ask in #xorg | 03:18 |
| genii | _ZeuZ_: It will only tell you which repository. Use some web browser for instance to go to somewhere like http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/traceroute/ and select the deb for your system | 03:22 |

| linuxlover | hi room.........i am anindya from india.... problem : simple LAN with my 2 desktop pcs.... please help | 03:26 |
| linuxlover | i have two machines one with two network interfaces and the another with a sole network interface. i am trying to connect these two machines with a simple LAN for sharing internet. the machine which has two network interfaces, presently installed with kubuntu and directly connected with internet. These interfaces are eth0 and eth1. eth1 is connected with the internet. As soon as I am changing the IP address of this eth0, it is always changing to | 03:34 |
| linuxlover | 169.254.3.224 as soon as I restart the machine. Why this is going so? How do I configure my interface cards? | 03:34 |
| genii | linuxlover: Some questions to clarify: Is there a router or such that assigns IP to the computers there? What OS are both boxes running. If no switch/hub/router do you have a crossover cable? | 03:34 |
| genii | 169.254.X.X is an ip which the computer auto assigns itself when no number is being given to it from outside | 03:35 |
| linuxlover | genil: I am connected with a crossover cable. The machine which is connected with two network cards in installed with Kubuntu and the other machine is installed with Windows | 03:39 |
| genii | linuxlover: There is a simple howto here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html but the user there is running commands like apt-get as root. Instead put sudo before what they have there. | 03:39 |
| genii | linuxlover: Also where they have echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward put instead echo 1 > sudo tee -a /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward | 03:41 |
| genii | And for gedit <whatever> do alt-f2 then: kdesu kate <whatever> | 03:42 |
| linuxlover | i am listening to you genil | 03:42 |
| genii | linuxlover: The name is genii and not genil :) You will be fine if you do the commands listed there on the linux machine with two interfaces. The client machine operating system does not matter in this case. But of course alter the instructions there as I have just outlined above. | 03:44 |
| yao_ziyuan | by which way can i enjoy current releases of packages (e.g. pidgin 2.4.1 instead of 2.2.1) in ubuntu? | 03:45 |
| linuxlover | I am very sorry genii....... it is my eyes which made the problem.... anyway it is my mistake, i am really sorry, please don't mind friend | 03:47 |
| Daisuke_Ido | oi. love how he sticks around for an answer. | 03:48 |
| genii | linuxlover: No worries :) | 03:48 |
| genii | Daisuke_Ido: Especially as I actually went to trouble of answering him in #ubuntu | 03:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that guy... *makes a strangling motion* | 03:49 |
| genii | eg: yao_ziyuan: To make ubuntu use the lates deb versions available in it's repositories, create a file called apt.conf in directory /etc/apt and have it contain the line of: APT::Default-Release "experimental"; For more recent versions see if getdeb website contains them, or else compile from source. | 03:49 |
| linuxlover | Thank you genii | 03:49 |
| Boohbah | strangling users is not good policy | 03:49 |

| neville_ | This is going to sound a bit strange, but how can I mount a PSX disk? | 03:51 |
| jtisme | neville_, what is a PSX disk | 03:52 |
| NickPresta | jtisme, Play Station 1, maybe? | 03:52 |
| neville_ | Yes | 03:52 |
| NickPresta | neville_, what happens when you put the disc in? | 03:53 |
| neville_ | The drive churns, then stops, and KDE does nothing | 03:53 |
| neville_ | sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom tells me to specify a filesystem, however | 03:53 |
| neville_ | And I've got no idea what it could be | 03:55 |
| dthacker | Hi. I'm trying to start a game that wants a SDL library. I seem to remember a separate LIBPATH variable that needs to be set. Is that right | 03:55 |
| dthacker | ? | 03:56 |
| * genii reads http://www.megagames.com/psx/psx_cd_info.shtml to try and understand how to overcome the purposeful bad-block design on PSX cdroms which are actually just standard iso9660 filesystems | 03:56 | |
| neville_ | It's a queer problem genii, the disks would work perfectly in Windows when I used to have it :/ | 03:57 |
| jtisme | neville_, specify filesystem or filesystem type | 03:57 |
| genii | neville_: Try -t iso9660 for filesystem | 03:57 |
| neville_ | Okay | 03:58 |
| genii | neville_: eg: sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom or so | 03:58 |
| genii | (assuming /media/cdrom dir exists) | 03:59 |
| neville_ | Worked like a charm =] | 03:59 |
| === nivek_ is now known as nivek | ||
| genii | neville_: Good :) Be warned of the purposeful bad-block issue if trying to make a copy of it or an iso file. | 04:00 |
| * dthacker has no LIBPATH set at present | 04:00 | |
| genii | dthacker: Living dangerously? | 04:00 |
| neville_ | Sure, thanks for the warning =] | 04:00 |
| dthacker | genii: how so? | 04:00 |
| genii | dthacker: Just trying to be funny, don't mind me | 04:01 |
| dthacker | I'm just trying to remember the name of this shell variable. All I can think of is PERL5LIB, because I work with perl all day long. but there's a another one you can set that's something like LD5LIBPATH or similar | 04:02 |
| neville_ | Made that command into its own little executable, just to avoid all that typing in future :P | 04:03 |
| jtisme | dthacker, LD_LIBRARY_PATH | 04:03 |

| genii | neville_: You coud just make a fstab entry with types of udf and iso9660 | 04:05 |
| neville_ | Nah, I'm not game enough to muck with fstab just yet, to be honest | 04:05 |
| genii | neville_: A line as: /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 user,auto,exec 0 0 Would suffice | 04:06 |
| neville_ | Oh man, looks like I owe you one, eh genii? =] | 04:08 |
| neville_ | Next time you need elevator repairmen, I'll do it minus the lecturing :P | 04:09 |
| genii | neville_: Thanks :) | 04:09 |
| genii | neville_: To add the line there, simplest is: alt-f2 then: kdesu kate /etc/fstab and then add it, save | 04:10 |
| neville_ | Yeah, beat you to that bit by a few minutes :P | 04:11 |

| rootlinuxusr | Anybody have problems with laptop's and sound cards holding onto the sound source after the program is closed? | 05:20 |
| BlackAura | okay.....so I've got Gutsy AMD64 working great on my system.....except unfortunately my sound card isn't working properly. It's an Audigy, and is detected, and shows up find in aplay -l. I've already checked the Switches tab in KMix and the Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack setting is off | 05:58 |
| BlackAura | which is apparently the common problem....at least from what I've been reading | 05:59 |
| rootlinuxusr | what system do you have, or is it a custom? | 05:59 |
| rootlinuxusr | had the same issue with my dell inspiron | 05:59 |
| BlackAura | custom build.....ASUS-A8N Sli mobo, onboard sound turned off. | 05:59 |
| rootlinuxusr | nice setup. umm | 06:00 |
| rootlinuxusr | what's the sound card make/model? | 06:00 |
| BlackAura | cat /proc/asound/cards is showing two though oddly enough....the Audigy as card 0, and a UART MPU-401 as the second card, which I'm guessing is a MIDI controller? | 06:00 |
| BlackAura | Audigy 1 [SB0090] (rev.3, serial:0x531102) | 06:00 |
| rootlinuxusr | or perhaps the onboard | 06:01 |
| BlackAura | It's an OEM Creative Soundblaster Audigy....which I know I've gotten working in the past in LFS and Gentoo | 06:01 |
| BlackAura | I belive I just used the emu10k ALSA drivers | 06:01 |
| BlackAura | if I open up VLC, and view the preferences, and check the output devices....the Audigy is listed after I refresh the devices | 06:02 |
| BlackAura | oh, apparenlty the onboard sound is another Realtek AC '97 chipset, the usual onboard one from what I've seen :s | 06:04 |

| yao_ziyuan | . | 16:18 |
| jussi01 | yao_ziyuan: please dont do that again. use pastebin | 16:19 |
| yao_ziyuan | somehow i think when the channel has low traffic, a casual multi-line paste is fine... | 16:19 |
| BluesKaj | yao_ziyuan , jussio1, yes I agree but it may do more like 3D and DRI with the restricted driver , that's been my experience with the Radeons | 16:19 |
| jussi01 | yao_ziyuan: I dont agree. please use pastebin. | 16:19 |
| yao_ziyuan | ok | 16:19 |
| jussi01 | BluesKaj: no, the restricted driver does not cover older radeons. | 16:20 |
| BluesKaj | perhaps the ATI 8.28.8 driver will help then, http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon-prer200.html | 16:21 |
| yao_ziyuan | sometimes i see a white-dashed line in the highlight of the K menu | 16:22 |
| jussi01 | BluesKaj: ati dont provide drivers for the older cards, they are covered with full 3d by the radeon open source driver | 16:22 |
| BluesKaj | jussi01, define "old" :) | 16:23 |
| jussi01 | BluesKaj: mine works perfectly fine with compiz. | 16:23 |

| Stomper | luisj: just type "sudo kcontrol" and hit enter.... type in your USER Password | 16:56 |
| cannon | then how else can I read from it or write to it? | 16:56 |
| dwidmann | luisj: that should set the time, you may need to restart kicker for it to take effect but I don't think so | 16:57 |
| cannon | brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 4 2008-04-10 16:25 /dev/sda4 | 16:57 |

| luisj | expose your problem instead of crying cannon maybe someone will be able to help you | 17:00 |

| dwidmann | Nyad: oops, ah, you want to add something to the panel | 17:07 |
| Nyad | ya :) | 17:07 |
| dwidmann | Nyad: use "add application to panel" in the panel menu | 17:08 |
| dennister | it's not the end of the world, as i have lots of donated, older pc's now, but the older mobos for all the older cpu's (P3's) i've got are hard to find, so losing a working mobo is still a loss | 17:08 |
| dwidmann | Nyad: then use something like "kfmclient exec /home/blah" for the command I suppose | 17:08 |
| dennister | eagles0513875: i'm sure the wire you spoke of is ok...i hadn't touched those (the led panel i spoke of earlier) | 17:09 |

| genii | cannon: man chown and man chmod for syntax on these commands. Depending on the location they are in you may require sudo | 17:14 |

| drif | cannon :D | 17:14 |
| eagles0513875 | cannon: right click on it | 17:14 |

| cannon | so how do I had a group to ownership of a folder? | 17:16 |
| dennister | gonna try putting another battery in...have some spares | 17:16 |
| dwidmann | cannon: you don't, it can only be owned by one group | 17:16 |
| genii | dennister: There are convoluted ways t bring one back to life since it's only the cmos chip itself messed up. But this is like: buy a new cmos chip from somewhere for exact mb model, or: reprogram the chip by removing it from the mb and using a hardware based standalone chip programmer or so.Assuming it's in a socket on that boad and not soldered in | 17:17 |
| cannon | so how can I write to it wouthout needing root access then? | 17:17 |
| dwidmann | cannon: you can change that group with the chrgrp command | 17:17 |
| === jurgen is now known as Jurgentje | ||
| cannon | an example of syntax? | 17:17 |
| dwidmann | cannon: same as chown, ie: chgrp groupname list of files | 17:18 |
| cannon | chrgrp isn't recognised in terminal | 17:18 |
| GS3User | cannon: chgrp | 17:18 |
| dwidmann | cannon: maybe I spelled it wrong then, I'm good at doing that | 17:18 |
| eagles0513875 | i wanna host my own media stream what pkgs r there that i can use | 17:18 |
| dennister | genii: yes, that is convoluted...don't think it's worth it, considering these are donated boards | 17:18 |
| cannon | i still need an example of syntax as I jabe mever used chown before | 17:19 |
| dwidmann | cannon: I already gave you the syntax | 17:19 |
| dwidmann | cannon: look up ..... probably highlighted in red | 17:19 |
| cannon | lol, you didn't | 17:19 |
| GS3User | cannon: chgrp <group> <directory or files> | 17:19 |

| Jurgentje | Hi... I installed Eclipse Europa cently (not via apt but just a plain install) ... suddenly, Firefox asked me to install a JAVA-client and I took the one that was proposed (don't remember exactly which one it was, but I already removed that one using APT) ... Still, I get the error when trying to launch Eclipse that the Java JRE or JDK is not found in my current PATH. (How) should I set a path in Kubuntu? | 17:20 |
| genii | dennister: If when you power on, the 3 keyboard lights flicker a moment, then the board is passing it's most basic self-test and can be rescued by floppy boot to a disk which just auto-runs the firmware update (although this happens without output to monitor) Some MSI boards in particular can be worked this way | 17:20 |
| dwidmann | Jurgentje: I think the environment variable JAVA_HOME covers that | 17:21 |
| === matthew__ is now known as MaDeX | ||

| MaDeX | Guys, anyone know any application that can unpack rar files? | 17:21 |
| cannon | root@cannon-desktop:/media# chgrp cannon sda4 | 17:21 |
| cannon | chgrp: changing group of `sda4': Operation not permitted | 17:21 |
| cannon | any ideas? | 17:22 |
| GS3User | cannon: put sudo in front of the command | 17:22 |
| dwidmann | cannon: I think you set it in the file /etc/environment | 17:22 |
| Jurgentje | thanks, looking into it right away! | 17:22 |
| dwidmann | Jurgentje: you should be able to find your jre in /usr/lib/jvm, btw | 17:23 |
| genii | GS3User: If ou noticed he's running as root and sudo would be redundant and unneccesary. | 17:23 |
| cannon | i already tried sudo ... that was in a root shell | 17:23 |
| genii | cannon: You cannot change ownership on such things as raw devices in /dev like an sda4 for instance | 17:23 |
| GS3User | cannon: i occasionaly have issues with permissions on things I torrent, the chgrp command I use goes like this: sudo chgrp <loginname> -R /media/sdq1 | 17:23 |
| Jurgentje | yeah, it is there, but for some strange reason, Eclipse is looking for it in /home/myself/opt/eclipse/jre/bin/java :S | 17:24 |
| dwidmann | Jurgentje: ie: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin or similar would probably be what you want to set it to | 17:24 |
| GS3User | cannon: the -R tells it to be recursive | 17:24 |
| GS3User | cannon: you might try being more specific that sda4 | 17:24 |
| cannon | ta | 17:24 |

| genii | cannon: The mountpoint of something like /media/sda4 retains the ownership and group etc of the original device like /dev/sda4 which in turn is decided by udev each boot. Instead make a subfolder in /media/sda4 and chown that to whatever user is supposed to be writing there. | 17:30 |

| Nyad | is that nvidia's fault? | 19:05 |
| genii | Nyad: They have not yet upgraded the linux drivers to support that series. So yes. | 19:06 |

| calcmandan | hi guys. Day two after a fresh install of 7.10. Last night I had this problem, and now it happened again. Just booted up cold and I can't get sound. Says that the device is busy, but I haven't done anything to spur this. What can I do, outside of rebooting, to free up the sound? | 19:29 |

| jussio1 | calcmandan: do you have any sond aps running at startup? | 19:34 |
| Coggz | http://pastebin.com/m46919429 what is wrong with this? X wont start with it | 19:34 |
| jussio1 | ie. amarok, skype etc? | 19:34 |
| calcmandan | jussio1: no, if anything ever loads its klipper, korganizer. | 19:35 |
| calcmandan | jussio1: it's just strange. this never happened while i had 6.06. heck if i had any sound apps running, it played whatever on top of what was running. | 19:36 |
| jussio1 | Coggz: have you modified your xorg at all? | 19:36 |

| Seren___ | unless you want it for all users on the machine | 20:23 |
| _Coggz_ | hmm, could, but i need to pass arguments | 20:23 |
| _Coggz_ | ill ask in ubuntu | 20:24 |
| Seren___ | create a file like "wavecom.sh" | 20:24 |

| Seren___ | and then your two commands on the next two lines | 20:24 |

| pteague | going into system settings -> keyboard & mouse -> keyboard shortcuts -> global shortcuts & scrolling down the list... "Desktop Screenshot" has shortcut "Print" | 20:41 |
| Seren___ | coggz : it is probably related to the wacom command, there must be other option to keep the keyboard working | 20:42 |

| kaminix | genii: Well, yes, but I don't have my USB memory here now so I can't try it out. Would love to know for future reference though. | 20:54 |
| cannon | there are plenty of apps that don't have an installer though | 20:55 |
| cannon | like if I dl em from the web | 20:55 |
| Seren___ | if it is not a .deb, you probably have a readme somewhere telling you to "make install" or something | 20:56 |
| genii | cannon: Thats because sinc so many distributions if a standalone installer for each there would be hundreds of the same program but just for different flavours. Thats why there's source code. | 20:56 |
| jussio1 | cannon: its because noone has packaged them yet, there is a great packaging guide if you care to get involved... | 20:57 |

| SlimeyPete | kmix is the little speaker icon in the system tray | 22:38 |
| kubuntero | joaobarreiras78: the sound volume icon in the system tray | 22:38 |
| joaobarreiras78 | ahh ok | 22:38 |
| joaobarreiras78 | but isnt there a way that i use "alsa mixer" or oss mixer ? | 22:39 |
| joaobarreiras78 | that is in the console | 22:39 |

| DarkestHour | joaobarreiras78: the konsole also has auto completion that you may find usefull, try typing alsa and pressing tab once or twice it'll let you list applications in the path. | 22:41 |

| jhise | You will see things like Main and PCM. Those should not be muted and turned up. | 22:53 |
| jhise | It's a matter of you getting to this interface though. Depending on your distribution, it's a little different. | 22:54 |

| _Coggz_ | no dice? | 23:01 |
| mkquist | will00: hmm same error? | 23:03 |
| mkquist | will00: uknow i just assumed that the 80 gig is where u installed kubuntu is that correct? | 23:05 |
| will00 | yea it is | 23:05 |
| mkquist | will00: hmm, then id try reinstalling grub, easy enough to do... | 23:05 |
| will00 | i do know that if i manually configure the drives, i get to a grub menu | 23:06 |
| === nonewmsgs55552 is now known as nonewmsgs | ||
| mkquist | will00: what do u mean manually configure drives? | 23:17 |
| will00 | in the kubuntu installation program, u have the option of either using a default, a guided setup, or you can manually partition them | 23:18 |
| mkquist | oh ic | 23:19 |
| will00 | well lemme reboot and see if that worked | 23:19 |
| mkquist | kk | 23:19 |
| Datz | Hello, I am try to install on a kubuntu powerpc on a mac | 23:23 |
| Datz | I don't have enough ram to load the live portion | 23:24 |
| Datz | so tried "live-nosplash" | 23:24 |
| SlimeyPete | is there a powerpc alternate CD? | 23:25 |
| SlimeyPete | the x86 alternate CD includes a text-based installer. | 23:25 |
| cyka | yo | 23:27 |
| cyka | who's alive | 23:27 |
| Datz | after I load "live-nosplash" that gets me to (initramfs) command like "build-in Shell" | 23:27 |
| Datz | how can I install from there? | 23:27 |
| cyka | anyone know how to make the desktop animated under kde 3..5? | 23:28 |
| cyka | done it once before but only by mistake | 23:28 |
| cyka | and also why it forgets what my desktop is | 23:28 |
| === JasonWard is now known as Nyad | ||
| Datz | I need help to install Kununtu on my old imac with 64MB of ram | 23:30 |
| Datz | I have the powerpc distro cd loaded | 23:30 |
| nonewmsgs | datz are you sure? | 23:30 |
| Datz | yes | 23:31 |
| Datz | I was informed that I don't have enough ram to run the live portion | 23:31 |
| Datz | so, I just want to install | 23:31 |
| nonewmsgs | Datz: you dont have enough ram to run kubuntu very well | 23:31 |
| Datz | I see | 23:32 |
| nonewmsgs | datz i would advise sometihng more like damn small linux | 23:32 |
| Datz | well, is there any other distro you can think of that will work better? | 23:32 |
| Datz | ah | 23:32 |
| Datz | lol, ok thx I will look into it | 23:32 |
| nonewmsgs | i mean if you insisit we will certainly help you | 23:32 |
| nonewmsgs | and if you need help with that ill help with that too | 23:32 |
| Datz | cool thx | 23:33 |
| Datz | well, I don't see a power pc port for DSL | 23:33 |
| Datz | or Damn Small Linux* | 23:34 |
| Datz | so I would like to install Kubuntu | 23:34 |
| Datz | nonewmsgs, restarting going to boot to Kubuntu cd | 23:34 |
| nonewmsgs | ok | 23:35 |
| znoG_ | hey, anyone know if there is a way to find out how a particular package in the gutsy repository was built? i want to upgrade a package from source and i want to use the same configure line and do the post-steps manually on it. | 23:35 |
| nonewmsgs | i know you can download source in synaptic | 23:36 |
| Datz | nonewmsgsok, ok I get text indicating this is Kubuntu live CDROM, default option is live... | 23:36 |
| Datz | how do I install without booting to live portion? | 23:36 |
| dwidmann | Datz: unless its the dvd, you don't | 23:36 |
| Datz | dwidmann, humm, so I can't install it on this pc if it dosn't have a DVD ROM | 23:37 |
| Datz | if I can | 23:37 |
| Datz | can't boot to live? | 23:37 |
| dwidmann | Datz: well, you could use the alternate cd also | 23:37 |
| Datz | alternate cd...? | 23:38 |
| dwidmann | I slightly misread the question | 23:38 |
| dwidmann | the alternate cd uses a text-only installer | 23:38 |
| Datz | humm, ok | 23:38 |
| nonewmsgs | but is there an alt cd for ppc? | 23:38 |
| dwidmann | nonewmsgs: should be .... | 23:38 |
| * nonewmsgs isn't very familiar with power pcs | 23:39 | |
| Datz | maybe I should look into DSL | 23:39 |
| nonewmsgs | everyone here will be glad to help you the best they can | 23:39 |
| dwidmann | Datz: why's that? | 23:39 |
| Datz | either that or Small Dog Linux | 23:39 |
| nonewmsgs | dwidmann: he has 64mb. i don't even know if k would run with that | 23:40 |
| dwidmann | nonewmsgs: wow, I doubt that's even enough memory to run the alternate install cd very well. Go for DSL. | 23:40 |
| Datz | ok, there is a powerpc version of DSL? | 23:40 |
| nonewmsgs | there is also a #damnsmalllinux one | 23:40 |
| Datz | nice | 23:41 |
| dwidmann | livecd requires like 192MiB of RAM minimum .... forget how much the alternate requires but it's more like 96 MiB or something | 23:41 |
| dwidmann | it'll do it with less it'll just take a really long time | 23:41 |
| Datz | humm , so still won't work for me I guess | 23:42 |
| Datz | plus I would rather have something that runs decently fast | 23:42 |
| nonewmsgs | how much differnet are power pcs? i mean aren't they supposed to be able to run windows? | 23:42 |
| dwidmann | nonewmsgs: no, the new macs use intel procs | 23:42 |
| nonewmsgs | i remember using windows95 (maybe 98) on one of those big blue macs and i thuoht they were power pcs | 23:43 |
| cyka | so would any one like to vaulenteer some help? | 23:43 |
| cyka | the G3? | 23:43 |
| cyka | aall the G series of CPU were essnetia;lly powerpc's | 23:44 |
| SlimeyPete | nonewmsgs: neither win95 nor 98 ever ran on mac | 23:44 |
| SlimeyPete | though I imagine there were/are x86 daughterboards available | 23:44 |
| nonewmsgs | SlimeyPete: it might have been some kind of virtual machine | 23:45 |
| nonewmsgs | SlimeyPete: but it definitely ran it | 23:45 |
| SlimeyPete | probably via a daughterboard then | 23:45 |
| nonewmsgs | SlimeyPete: virtualpc i think was it | 23:45 |
| SlimeyPete | ah, virtualpc | 23:45 |
| SlimeyPete | yeah that's been around a while. | 23:46 |
| cyka | anyone? | 23:46 |
| nonewmsgs | htf do you disable usb device not recognized nags from windows | 23:46 |
| cyka | jesus... i ask for help and no one offers it.... | 23:46 |
| rickest | I went one better and disabled windows, period | 23:46 |
| nonewmsgs | cyka what was your question | 23:47 |
| cyka | how do u make the desktop aanimated under KDE 3.5 | 23:47 |
| cyka | i've done it once before by mistake | 23:47 |
| IIGGOORR | hi, i have folowing line in grub "kernel /boot/vmlinuz vga=normal ramdisk_size=14972 root=/dev/rd/0 rw –", but on boot i have an error "unable to mount" | 23:47 |
| cyka | and also how do i make it remember my desktop settingfs since evry reboot i have to change the settings back to what i want | 23:48 |
| nonewmsgs | cyka for the 2nd one i think it has to do with write permissions chmod your /home to 777 | 23:48 |
| * chalcedony smiles | 23:48 | |
| cyka | howe do u chmod? | 23:49 |
| nonewmsgs | cyka: to animate or deanimate K- systemsettings - look and feel (appearance) | 23:49 |
| cyka | been tehre | 23:50 |
| cyka | doesn't say much on animation tho | 23:50 |
| szakulec | I was trying to use isobuster, which has worked in the past, and the AppDB on winehq says it works, but when I installed it now, it can't find the CD drive | 23:50 |
| nonewmsgs | szakulec: you dont need isobuster | 23:51 |
| Boohbah | szakulec: burning CDs with windows apps on wine? | 23:52 |
| Boohbah | why? | 23:52 |
| chalcedony | my husband has KDE gutsy, i have ubuntu feisty, we are trying to share | 23:52 |
| chalcedony | a printer. I had it working for my computer, but whatever he did | 23:52 |
| chalcedony | disabled it. he wants me to get the kde control module, instead of | 23:52 |
| chalcedony | what i have on gnome. will that work, also can i download that with command line, apt-get? | 23:52 |
| nonewmsgs | szakulec: the command dd makes an iso and you can mount it like a drive | 23:52 |
| chalcedony | sigh | 23:52 |

| algyz | !printing | chalcedony | 23:54 |
| ubotu | chalcedony: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 23:54 |
| IIGGOORR | can anybody explain what is /dev/rd (i suppose ram disk?)? and why may proplems with mounting appear? | 23:54 |
| chalcedony | algyz: ty, i have System Administration Printing Printers Properties open.. it prints the test page but won't print anything else. | 23:56 |
| cannon | hey guys ... i keep getting errors when trying to extract an archive ... any ideas? | 23:56 |
| algyz | cannon: what kind of errors? | 23:56 |
| swatto | Anyone got experience with setting up world of warcraft? | 23:56 |
| cannon | "extraction operation failed" | 23:57 |
| nonewmsgs | chalcedony: interesting. even something like a kate document (i forgot what the gnome version is) | 23:57 |
| algyz | nonewmsgs: in gnome it's gedit :) | 23:58 |
| nonewmsgs | algyz: yes that's it | 23:58 |
| cannon | whats an alternative to Ark? | 23:58 |
| algyz | cannon: try tar | 23:58 |
| nonewmsgs | chalcedony: try to print something in gedit like a sentence or two | 23:58 |
| chalcedony | hmm | 23:58 |
| chalcedony | i'll try a2ps | 23:59 |
| algyz | cannon: also look into output of "apt-cache search archiver" | 23:59 |
| cannon | tar is already installed | 23:59 |
| cannon | huh? | 23:59 |
