EDinNYhi00:40
EDinNYso, ask00:40
Lars_GI'm trying to compile an Amarok 2.0 svn pull, but cmake is arguing it can't find a lot of includes, like KDE4Defaults, I've installed all kde4 dev packages I could find on aptitude, and it still whines.00:40

ilyai have a trouble, i have a lan-card realtek RTL8139, and in kubuntu works only half duplex 10Mbit00:45

Lars_Gstond: The converter you're using (ffmpeg?) was not compiled with aac support, or the aac en/decoder is not installed (libfaad and libfaac)00:47

zapanexcuse me isnt there a french channel ? =_=00:49
damien__I need help - Linux wont allow me to open my CD drive.00:49
Lars_Gstond: then you'll probably need to compile your own version of the converter program you're using, with support for aac, or find some prepackaged by someone00:49
simuloushey ppl :)00:49

Illusion-hello00:56
Illusion-can somebody tell me what the basic/default password is?00:56
Lars_GIllusion-: the one you set during install00:56
Dr_willisYou use your initial users password, as the sudo password.00:57
Illusion-for all?00:57
Lars_GAll of what?00:57
Dr_willisfor all 'what'?00:57
damien__Thanks guys, it worked.00:57
Dr_willis:)00:57
Illusion-adept-updater?00:57
Lars_GIllusion-: that's a program, programs are not users.00:57
Dr_willisIllusion-,  yes. thats asking for the sudo password.00:57
Illusion-hmmz00:57
Lars_GIllusion-: if you mean the root password when you're doing sudo use your user's password00:58
Illusion-i didnt need to set to root pw tho00:58
Lars_GIllusion-: no, root has no password by default, you can't "su" to root. Ubuntu relies on sudo by default00:58
Illusion-kk00:58
Lars_GIf you're very set in using su you can assign a password for root, but normally it's not required00:59
will00ey im tryin to compile something and i get the error "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" any ideas?01:00
Lars_GDr_willis: I'm still looking for my KDE4Defaults.cmake :(01:00
Lars_Gwill00: did you install all the packages necesary to compile?01:00
Lars_Gthey're not installed by default01:00
will00i think so01:00
Dr_williswill00,  you did install the build-essential package?01:01
Dr_willis C compiler cannot create executables ----> normally because its not installed. :)01:01
ilyaLars_G: i did it, but still not working correctly01:01
damien__Uh01:02
damien__Linux won't read the files that I placed on my DVD01:02

damien__and linux cant find any files on it01:02
Lars_Gdamien__: did it actually burn the files? check it on another machine01:02
Illusion-is it possible to run the distro from a usb stick ppl?01:02
damien__I don't have another machine to check it on01:03
MarcChow do I start the little network tray icon that shows wireless networks?01:03
will00illusion: yes01:03
Illusion-would be slow isnt it?01:03
Lars_Gwill00: that requires the -dev files for xorg01:03
ilyaLars_G: i use dmesg, and it wrote that eth0: link up, 10Mbps, half-duplex, lpa 0x000001:03
will00illusion-: yes http://www.pendrivelinux.com/01:03
will00check it out though01:03
Lars_Gilya: yes because that's when the machine started. do an "ifconfig" now and see what it reports NOW01:04
Illusion-ive been installing it on a usb stick but it hangs after a while01:04
Illusion-*while booting01:04
ilyaLars_G: sorry, but how can i check this changes ?)01:08

will00it shouldnt be, its on my desktop01:32
Dr_willisI see no error messaegs in that paste. The next step would be a 'sudo make install'01:33
Dr_willisof course in the past when compiling kde themes and parts ive had to give configure the proper option as to where the kdebase dir is at.01:33
will00dr willis heres the output of thathttp://pastebin.com/m28eccb6601:34
will00yet i cant access dekorator01:34
Dr_willisyou mean after you did a 'sudo make install' and it installed.. it is not shown under the KDE theme settings?01:35
will00im in the system settings and it isnt there01:37
Dr_willisYou may need to redo the ./configure step to tell it the proper place to install to.01:37
Dr_williskde-config --prefix     shows  -------> /usr here... so to configure i would use......01:38

woppppi found this channel on a website describing how to dual boot kubuntu and windows, i already have windows installed and i have Slackware on a seperate partition, i want to wipe off slackware and install kubuntu in its place, i guess what i am really after is Kubuntu automatically recognizes a windows partition on boot up and asks if you want to goto kubuntu or windows??02:21
acmeDSsorry, im on ds irc csnt type lol02:21
Dr_willisacmeDS,   i would set it to dhcp and restart networking to see if it works.02:22
Kaevikthat would be the boot loader.02:22
Kaevikgrub, or lilo02:22
woppppcorrect what i mena is does the default kubuntu bootloaded automatically detect?02:22
Dr_williswopppp,  most all disrtos install, and use the GRUB boot loader to let you select what OS to boot to.02:22
acmeDStrying now02:22
Dr_williswopppp,  it makes a menu for you to use.02:22
woppppvery cool...02:22
acmeDSlol02:23
woppppi was researching it on the internet and all the sites say plainly, install windows first, install kubuntu... bam your done it dual boots02:23
acmeDSdidnt work02:23
acmeDSdhcp02:23
Dr_willisYep. thats about the basics of i wopppp02:23
woppppis eth0 active?02:23
acmeDSyes/02:24
Dr_willisacmeDS, check ifconfig output, check dmesg output, check the cables..  see if you can even ping things.. see if ifconfig shows an ip address...02:24
woppppthis computer your on is in the same network?02:24
Dr_williscould even try some live cd's see if they work with the network.02:24
acmeDSonly pc i have02:25
acmeDSim on a ds now02:25
Dr_willisalso find out exactly what network card you have by checking 'lspci' output02:25
acmeDSits intergrated02:25
Dr_willismost are. :) lspci still shows info on them02:26

mohamedmaduser: thank you02:26
acmeDSdmesg spewed a ton of junk02:27
Dr_willisacmeDS,  check 'lsmod' output - see if the module   forcedeth is loaded02:29
Dr_willislsmod | grep forcedeth02:29
acmeDSisee an ip in eth0:avahi02:29
Dr_willisthe mcp55 seems to have some 'issues' in many different disrtos02:29
acmeDSforcedeth 002:30
acmeDSforcedeth 51980 002:30
Dr_willisfrm what i am reading - the options -->  options forcedeth msi=0 msix=0 are needed for that module under some kernel/disrtos02:31
acmeDSi had ot working in 7.002:31
Dr_willisI just have no idea where to put those options02:31

acmeDSor hardy w/e02:32
Dr_willisthe ubuntu specific 'help' pages on that  card. mention upgrading the kernel to get it working..02:33
Dr_willisof course with the network not working.. thats an issue. :)02:33

Dr_williswhat kernelyou using  check with uname -a02:33
acmeDS2.6.24-1202:33
Dr_willisthats newer then what the guides i see even mention.02:34
Dr_willisThe guides seem to  imply that the networking/card seems to stop after working for a short amount of time02:34
Dr_willisYou could try restarting the networking, see if it works, :) then later stops I guess02:35
acmeDSvery short apparently02:35
Dr_willissudo /etc/init.d/network restart02:35
Dr_willis and check the ifconfig to see if the ip changes. also see if you can ping the router02:35
acmeDSno ping02:36
Dr_willisif it worked in hardy. Id just use hardy. :) but im using hardy now02:36
acmeDSaw crap make it stop02:36
acmeDSo ok02:36
acmeDSctrl+c lol02:36
acmeDSwhats 8 called?02:37
Dr_willis8 ?02:38
acmeDSgotta find hsrdy now02:39
SeligArkinI have been getting alot of dpkg errors lately, and there is no way I can install all the upgraded it wants me to, is there any way to re-generate /var/lib/dpkg/status?02:39
acmeDShardy02:39
Dr_willishardy is due to be released in like 2 weeks02:39
acmeDSoh02:39
acmeDSeait02:39
Cannonyou've got the same gpu as me then Dr_willis :)02:39
Dr_willisYou could test out the hardy live cd easially enough. Its in testing right now02:39
acmeDSim usin...8,0402:39
Cannonmine is the 320mb one02:39
acmeDS8800gts ftw02:39
Cannonthere are much more powerful gpu's out now but mine is still more than enough02:40
Dr_willislsb_release -a ----> Description:    Ubuntu hardy (development branch) Release:        8.0402:40
Cannonnot the mention the sli options02:40
Cannonquad sli :P02:40
acmeDSim on hardy02:40
Dr_willisthere are some newer kernels out acmeDS  --> i got   Linux cow 2.6.24-15-generic02:40
acmeDSic02:40
Dr_willisacmeDS, i would say check in #ubuntu+1 and the hardy forums. its very likely its a kernel bug. or issue02:41
Cannonlol @ linux cow02:41
SeligArkinoh screw it, I am just reinstalling. this is too much of a pain in the rump. going to debian streight up02:41
CannonmooooooooooooooooO!02:41
Dr_willisacmeDS,  hardy chat in #ubuntu+1 :) i found a hardy bug report on that card.02:42
Cannonlol, i prefer our kde to debian :)02:42
Dr_willisrmmod forcedeth  && modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0  && /etc/init.d/networking restart02:42
Dr_willisacmeDS,  those options are identical to what i saw mentioned in other disrtos threads/bug reports for that card/module02:42
acmeDSthat goes in konsole?02:43
Dr_willisacmeDS,  of course. :) where else ya going to type in commands>02:43
Dr_willisand they need to be ran as root. of course.02:43
acmeDSum02:43
acmeDS:D02:43
Dr_willisor make them in a little script. on 3 lines.02:43
Dr_willisI put them on one line so i wouldent flood the channel.02:44
acmeDSerror02:44
acmeDSinserting blah operation not permitted02:45
Dr_willisyou MUST do them as root.02:45
Dr_williseithter in a root shell. or tack on sudo at the front of each command  or make a script02:45
acmeDSidid sudo02:45
Dr_willisNOT a single sudo at the front02:45
Dr_willissudo -s02:46
acmeDSoh/02:46
Dr_willisTHEN use the command i did.. Or do 3 commands , each with a sudo02:46
Dr_willis:)02:46
Dr_willisor toss the 3 commands in rc.local and reboot.02:46
acmeDScannot exec binary file02:46
Dr_willisi would say use a 'sudo -s' shell and just put in the 3 commands   sudo rmmod forcedeth   , then sudo modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0 , then  /etc/init.d/networking restart02:47
acmeDSignt one sec02:47
Dr_willisactually ya dont need to use sudo in that case. heh.02:47
Dr_willisor paste those 3 commands in a file called 'fixthenet.sh' and chmod +x it, then sudo ./fisthenet.sh :)02:48
acmeDSur loosing me lol02:48
Dr_willisthe 'fix' is to be loading the module with the proper optins02:48
Dr_willisthat is ALL you are doing02:48
Dr_willisUnload the module,  load it with the right options, then restart networking02:49
acmeDSfirst command, forcedeth does not exist02:49
Dr_willisYou did it wrong..02:49
Dr_willisits sudo rmmod forcedeth02:49
acmeDSthats wha02:49
acmeDSi wrote02:50
Dr_willisrmmod = remove module - that Unloads the module02:50
acmeDSmudt be unloaded then?02:50
Dr_willissudo rmmod forcedeth02:50
Dr_willisyou MUST unload the modulem then load it properly  with the right options.02:50
Dr_willissudo modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=002:50
acmeDSit says it doesnt exist02:50
Dr_willisit says the command dosent exist or the module is allready unloaded?02:51
Dr_willisIt may be its unloaded from one of your earlier commands.02:51
acmeDSi guess02:51
Dr_willisThen try -->   sudo modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=002:51
Dr_willisthat Loads the module correctly02:51
acmeDSsecond cmd; commandnot found/02:51
acmeDSetf02:52
Dr_willisim betting on another typo02:52
acmeDSgot it02:52
Dr_willisnow restart the networking like i showd ye earlier.02:52
Dr_willissudo  /etc/init.d/networking restart02:52
Dr_willisnow it should work.. but your configuration tweaking earlier may have other bits goofed up. :)02:53
acmeDSYEY02:54
Dr_willisthe perment fix is to put those 3 commands in your rc.local - not the BEST fix..but a workable fix.02:54
Dr_willishttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/136836        is where i got this info from02:54
acme64ok, fuk the ds02:55
acme64lmao02:55

Dr_willisas i said......02:57
Dr_willisthe perment fix is to put those 3 commands in your rc.local - not the BEST fix..but a workable fix.02:57
Dr_willis:)02:57
Dr_willisso thats a yes.02:57
Dr_willisthere may be some modules option file somewhere that you could put the options in also. but i dont knwo where its at.02:57
Dr_willisthat would be a better fix.02:57
acme64i see on this forum dude editing a modprobe.d file02:58
acme64oh niftier03:00

sebbGreetings03:29
sebbI just install Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon and try to apply the updates. My adept encounter some problems with some packages. Does any body know how to end the adept process ?03:31
sebbBecause I can not manage my repository or even install spftweare from the adept.03:31
Ralesksebb: sudo killall adept-manager03:32
sebbthanks03:32
Jucato(would be adept_manager... but depends on which one is running actually)03:32
Raleskor whichever adept you're running -- bash-completion will help, just type adept and hit tab03:32
Raleskyeah, underscore... been a while :)03:32
sebbjucato : yup it the manage one03:34
Ralesksebb: also, once you can install again, I recommend htop, great for exploring the running processes, seeing which one is gnawing at your resources, and killing rogue processes :)03:34
JucatoCtrl+Esc not enough? :)03:35
Raleskpoint03:35
Jucato(oh KDE 4's ksysguard has a nice feature that asks you for the root/admin password when you're trying to kill another user's process03:35
RaleskI forgot about it, as that shortcut is the first I change -- and I never really liked the kde3 sysguard anyway03:36
Jucatowhat's not to like about it? :)03:36
Jucato(it has improved in KDE 4 a lot)03:36
Raleskseen the kde4 one, and yes it has improved :)03:36
Raleskthough at the moment the only thing from KDE4 I use is Konsole03:37
Jucatothere is one thing I miss in the KDE 4 one though... the tree view for processes03:37
RaleskKonsole-kde3 is disgracefully slow at drawing on the screen...03:37
sebbThis is odd ... I try the CTRL-ESC approched and the03:38
sebbAnother process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude).03:38
sebbWould you like to attempt to resolve this problem? No will enter read-only mode and Cancel to quit and resolve this issue yourself.03:38
neville_Konsole-kde3 seems fine Ralesk03:38
neville_Stop promoting the future :P03:38
sebbSorry.03:38
Raleskneville_: :P03:38
sebbI paste an error messah03:38
sebb*message03:38
Raleskneville_: well, on my computer it draws significantly slower than konsole-kde4 or gnome-terminal -- unfortunately I can't stand the latter :P03:40
neville_Hmm, it's a wonder how anybody can stand the latter :P03:40
neville_But each to their own, I guess =]03:40
RaleskI've been telling that my coworkers :P03:40
Ralesk(all gnome guys, heh)03:41
neville_So long as you don't make it look like KDE is the only alternative. It's all about choice remember?03:41
neville_:P03:41
Raleskoh, forgot, one of them uses e17 :)03:42
RaleskI mean, e16.999999999903:42
neville_Hehe03:42
neville_Enlightenment is good though for minimalisticness03:42
Raleske17 always reminds me of Duke Nukem Forever03:42
Raleskit's pretty and fast, but otherwise it got on my nerves pretty quick the last time I tried it03:43
neville_Oh, you must have a low threshold for the different :P03:43
Raleskoh, I worked on a gnome desktop for a few months and it was bearable03:44
neville_I remember my first time using Linux, I thought Gnome was all that there was, and that it was cool -_-v (that made KDE blow my mind)03:45
Ralesktheir panel is silly and you can't make use of a bigger panel height, because most things will just grow on it instead of breaking into multiple lines03:45
neville_In all honesty, I reckon KDE can be made to be a better Gnome than Gnome, without even changing any code :P03:46
RaleskI could make it a Mac too :P  (gotta love the menu position options, not that I'd use them...)03:47
Raleskdesktop menubar reminds me of DOS times... Need a good retro theme for it though, heh03:47
neville_haha03:47
sebblater need to reboot ...03:48

PurpleBluIn KDE 4.03 is there a way to change the menu?  You have two choices of Kickoff or Standard Kmenu, but is there any other options?   How can't at least change the size of the menu?04:37
Odd-rationalePurpleBlu: you should be able to resize the menu by clicking and holding on the top right corner...04:38
PurpleBluOdd-rationale, not the icon.  I main the actually size of the category's04:39
PurpleBlu*mean04:39
Odd-rationalePurpleBlu: oh ok04:39
PurpleBluOdd-rationale, But I would prefer different menu layout altogether though.  Can I have a gnome style layout?04:40
Odd-rationalePurpleBlu: applications, places, system ?04:40
PurpleBluOdd-rationale, yes :-D04:41
Odd-rationalePurpleBlu: not that I know of...04:41
Odd-rationaleexcept sudo apt-get install gnome :)04:41
PurpleBluOdd-rationale, that's stupid04:41
PurpleBluI thought linux was about customization?  Start menu layout should be able to be changed04:43
Odd-rationalePurpleBlu: that is custumization, i mean, you cant install a gnome menu in windows :P04:44
neville_Don't tell anyone to install Gnome04:44
PurpleBluHow come when I boot back into gnome, none of the kde4 icons show up?04:44
neville_It'll reduce their ability to do things for themselves04:44
PurpleBluI was trying to fiddle with the position of the kmenu item that is in the top panel, and I was unable to move its position04:46
PurpleBluIs there going to be any other choices besides the lame KickOFF menu?04:48
neville_How about you make your own?04:49
neville_Or check Google :P04:49
* PurpleBlu slaps neville_ for being a smart ass04:49
PurpleBluSomeone once showed me a OSX like menu that is in works but I forget the name, so I cant google it :(04:50

volitionwhat about this ktorrent thing05:04
JucatoRomina: torrent speeds are dependent on a lot of factors, peer availability and bandwidth being one of them05:04
bittinKTorrent isen't that good05:04

ubotuUsually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.05:05

Rominawell maybe its been me beeing stupid because I trusted the german ubuntuusers-wiki05:06

bittinah ok05:13
bittinthen i know05:13
JucatoRomina: with torrents, you actually have to first search for .torrent files for what you want to download. it's not like Limewire where there's a sort of centralized searching place05:13

serruchohi everyone05:17

serruchoi have a question how to connect remote to a windows computer?05:17
bittinwith Samba but dunno how :05:17
bittin:P05:17
Jucato!samba05:18
ubotuSamba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.05:18
serruchook05:18
serruchothanks05:18
MrJoeyserrucho> If you're talking about logging into the remote desktop, you'll need Window$ XP (or Vista, probably) Professional to serve it, and a program like rdesktop to connect to it.05:19
serruchook thanks for yo information guys05:20
serruchoi`ll tried samba05:21
serruchoand let you know guys05:21
tuxwulf_Hey there. Is there a way I can configure apt/adept to check for updates only once a month or something?05:21
serruchoif i have a Q. dont doubt that i will q.05:22

ubotuIt's the middle of the night in the US and Europe, and surrounds.  This means that a lot of people are likely asleep, therefore there are less potential people who can answer your question.  Please be patient, and consider asking at a time when more people will be awake.  This is particularly true in the quieter channels.08:56

fdovingAyabara: kmenu -> systemsettings -> keyboard & mouse -> keyboard shortcuts -> KDE component, select kwin in the dropdown -> then scroll down to Move window, and configure a shortcut of your liking.09:18
JucatoAyabara: you have to set a shortcut for it09:18
Jucatooh fdoving's here...09:18
fdovingAyabara: in kde it works like a 'toggle' option. you can't use only modifiers, you must have atleast one other button. and you just press they key-combo once, then move with the arrow keys and hit space to put the window there, or esc to revert your moving. Alt+f7 is the kubuntu-kde3 default.09:20

_ZeuZ_iliya_ seems like a problem with knetworkmanager, or with networkmanager/networkmanager-dispatcher...12:25
_ZeuZ_Try updating12:25
iliya_cry...12:25
stdinyou should try feisty, it has newer drivers12:25
stdinerm, no you said gutsy12:26
stdinnevermind12:26
_ZeuZ_lol12:26
iliya_same reason I quit 6.06 7.04 and now 7.10 cryin at loud ;-)12:26
stdinyou can download the hardy liveCD though, see if it will work when hardy ships12:26
_ZeuZ_stdin: do I need to reboot to make the change of the /etc/issue effective? because until now, it does not seem to be like /etc/motd.tail | /etc/motd12:27
Dr_willisi wonder if the kde4 wireless config stuff works better... heck ya could even try the gnome wireless config tools.12:28
stdin_ZeuZ_: it should just work12:28
iliya_ trie wirelesassistant but wont install, show some issue12:28
Dr_willisI thought a lot of those issue/motd files got generated at boot time12:28
stdinDr_willis: both the gnome and kde frontends use the network-manager backed, so if one fails it's likely both will12:29
Dr_willisstdin,  i just recall on my laptop. i never could figure out one of them. :) the other one worked.. heh12:29
Dr_willisbut i may be thinking of some OTHER alternative wireless config/icon/tools.12:29
stdin_ZeuZ_: there's also /etc/issue.net btw12:29
stdini think it's only since gutsy that both use network-manager12:30
iliya_stdin, but I think network-manager is working, becouse list all networks at comand prompt12:30
iliya_sudo iwlist wlan0 scan , shows all networks12:31
stdinnetwork-manager uses dbus and hal, it doesn't just "iwlist <device> scan"12:31
iliya_?12:32
stdinhal is a hardware abstraction layer, dbus is a inter-process message bus12:32
_ZeuZ_so same thingy (divert) woulg go  to both files... right?12:33
stdin_ZeuZ_: yeah12:34
_ZeuZ_could you repeat the syntaxis once again?12:34
stdinsomething like: dpkg-divert --divert /etc/issue --rename /etc/issue.distrib12:34
tobizazHi, im having some problems installing Nvidia drivers on my laptop. tried enabeling the driver from restricted drivers in kubuntu, but when restarting X it says et failed to initialize the nvidia graphics device.. im running kubuntu 7.10 with a nvidia 7000 card.12:34
_ZeuZ_stdin: that would cause new /etc/issue files, to be copied to /etc/issue.distrib instead of /etc/issue right?12:35
stdinyeah, whenever something tries to install /etc/issue dpkg will rename it to /etc/issue.distrib12:36
_ZeuZ_I would need to do the same to /etc/issue.net right?12:38
stdinyeah, just change all the "issue"'s to "issue.net"'s12:39
_ZeuZ_well, the output pretty much confuse me...12:39
_ZeuZ_it says Adding local version of /etc/issue.distrib to /etc/issue.net12:40
_ZeuZ_whouldn't it be the other way around?12:40
stdinno, because you're applying it to /etc/issue.net12:41
_ZeuZ_sorry sorry, I meant:12:41
_ZeuZ_it says Adding local version of /etc/issue.distrib to /etc/issue12:41
stdindon't worry, it's the right syntax anyway. you can probably test it by dong "sudo apt-get --reinstall install base-files" and seeing if /etc/issue.distrib shows up12:43
stdinshould do it when reinstalling, but i've never actually tried it like that12:43
_ZeuZ_cool, thanks... well, then I guess I'm going to wait for a couple of weeks until it gets stable to update anyways...12:44

user1how can i know the exact watts that my pc and my moniter takes? (need to calculate watts to buy a new ups) ?14:00
ubuntuSorry for my english, it depends from my weak mind :-)14:00
mcgubuser1: http://www.amazon.com/P3-International-P4400-Electricity-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU14:01
Hamraa look on the power supply should tell you how much watts the pc is taking14:02
user1Hamra mcgub powersupply just says AC 230v  and on moniter it says 1.2A14:02
mcgub230/1.2=191 watts14:03
Hamrayou need to look at the power supply from the inside of your PC case, usually, there is a sticker with all the voltages and powers it outputs14:03
llutzmcgub: power = current x voltage14:04
user1Hamra hmm inside.. where. powner supply box is cealed14:05
mcgubheh...right you are...need more coffee14:05
user1llutz mcgub so whats the watts. 130 x 1.2 or 130/ 1.2  ?14:06
ubuntubye bye guys14:06
llutzuser1: monitor 1.2A then 230 x 1.214:06
mcgub276 watts14:06
user1hm14:06
llutzuser1: very roughly14:07
mcgubindeed14:07
user1that wont be exact14:07
user1oops. 130v is for cpu14:07
Hamrasealed? weird, on all power supplies i've seen so far, the sticker is on the side, if i open the left side of the case, it should appear right infront of me!14:07
llutzuser1: if you want exact values, use a very expensive meter to measure power consumption14:07
user1but i think that it would be 130v for moniter too. coz local power supply is around it14:07
user1llutz hm.14:08
user1llutz there arent any predefined specs?14:08
mcgubkill-a-awatt monitor is 25 bucks...not so bad14:08

jussio1user1: all pc's are different14:08
user1i have dual coare 1.8   and syncmaster 15" monter14:08
Hamrawhy would you need to calculate? a 650 W ups is good enough, do you really think there is more power consumption than that?14:08
user1jussi01 ^14:08

user1jussi01 i was afraid you gonna say it. i hate touching electric thingies14:11
user1jussi01 k. let me then. i have to shutdown then. i gues14:11
jussio1user1: just go buy a cheap meter, or buy a ups with enought power that you are sure14:11
SlimeyPeteerm the power supply rating doesn't mean much anyway - chances are your PC doesn't use anywhere near the limit on the PSU14:11
jussio1user1: SlimeyPete is corrrect.14:11
user1jussi01 thats why i am looking for wats. to define 'enough'14:11

ds187is it 100hd then?14:14
f1rsds187: no, i can change mode to 100fd,  but the real speed is near 100kb/s, but when i change to 100hd, speed is near 5mb/s14:15
ds187f1rs: yes, you told allready, perhaps the port on the switch is set to 100hd and not autonegotiation, and so when the rtl is in 100fd mode and the switch in 100hd it gets collisions14:16

Odd-rationalesivaji: I've read that. when I do "sudo mount x.x.x.x:/folder /mnt" it seems to mount fine. But when I do "cd /mnt" i get Permission denied. Is this a problem at my end or the server?16:27
sivajiOdd-rationale i think you dont have permission to access the file @ server16:28
* sivaji havent tried nfs16:29
Odd-rationalesivaji: ok. any idea of what to do on the server end?16:29
sivajiOdd-rationale you get Permission denied right then you need to change the file permission isnt it ?16:30
Odd-rationalesivaji: sudo chmod -R 755 /mnt ?16:30
Odd-rationalesivaji: on my end or on the server?16:31

Odd-rationalesivaji: I tried in #ubuntu. no answer...16:33
sivajitry #linux , #linux-india16:34
fdovingOdd-rationale: you need to set the proper permissions on the server-side.16:36
fdovingOdd-rationale: you can test by making a directory inside the mount, then set it's permissions to 777, then inside it make a file from the client.16:36
Odd-rationalefdoving: do I also need to be part of a group?16:37
fdovingOdd-rationale: that way you'll see what username and group the user gets on the server, and then you'll know who to give access to write.16:37
fdovingOdd-rationale: all users are part of a group by default, don't think more about the groups, it's just there. :)16:37
Odd-rationalefdoving: ok. but what do you mean by "make a dir inside the mount"? I can't get into /mnt16:38
fdovingOdd-rationale: on the server. go to the shared location, then 'mkdir' there.16:38
Odd-rationalefdoving: so on the server, make a dir with 777 permision?16:40
fdovingOdd-rationale: yes. inside the directory you have shared.16:40
Odd-rationalefdoving: then on the client, create a file in the newly created dir with 777 permisions?16:41
Odd-rationale*create a file16:41

ubuntuLiveis there anything like Starburn for Windows that works for Linux?19:49
flipstarwhat actually is starburn ?19:49
ubuntuLivean intermedite burner19:49
ubuntuLiveburns CDs and DVDs19:49
ubuntuLiveno offence, but it looks better then K3B19:49
flipstaryou might try brasero19:49
ubuntuLiveright now I'm using the live CD of Kubuntu's last version, but I'll check it out19:50
flipstarin hardy brasero is default19:50
flipstarif you mean hardy with latest..19:50
dwidmannflipstar: only default if you're using gnome19:51
ubuntuLiveand I'm using KDE19:51
coreymon77ubuntuLive: there are many cd buring programs for linux, you just have to get them19:51
coreymon77ubuntuLive: and youre on the livecd, so, thigns are minimal19:51
ubuntuLivecoreymon77: Aware. It will be installed once the new Kubuntu comes out, for I'm sick of Windows XP crashing on me19:51
coreymon77ubuntuLive: btw, kde or gnome makes no diff, gnome apps can run on kde and vice versa19:52
ubuntuLiveThat I already knew as well.19:52
ubuntuLiveI just need some names to google so I can take a look19:52
flipstarhttp://www.gnome.org/projects/brasero/screenshots.html19:52
flipstarwould look similar on kde i guess19:53
coreymon77ubuntuLive: i would actually look on apt firtst19:53
coreymon77first*19:53
ubuntuLiveis there also something like Q10? It's a full screen text editor, and it's useful for my writing19:53
ubuntuLiveBrasero looks like it fits the bill :)19:54
flipstarubuntuLive: there are dozen of text/code editors19:54
ubuntuLiveflipstar: Any fullscreen ones though with not many distractions?19:55
coreymon77ubuntuLive: linux is a full os, jsut like windows, all you have to do is a little apt-cache search or google searching, and you should find what you need19:55
dwidmannubuntuLive: vim :)19:55
coreymon77ubuntuLive: anything that exists for windows will most likely have some sort of alternative for linux19:57
ubuntuLivecoreymon77: Fully aware. This is the third time I've tried Linux. And like I said, sick of Windows. The reason why I'm here and asking because I worry from Viruses and whatnot. I know it's next to impossible to get one on Linux... but as someone who has Windows Vista on a laptop that's crap, it makes me worry all the same19:57
ubuntuLivedwidmann: If I remember correctly, it wasn't going to do the job... I don't remember offhand19:58
coreymon77dont worry, linux is not some hackers os, its a regular os with programs that you need19:58
blekosis there a deamon tool for linux?19:58
coreymon77although sometimes you have to make concessions19:58
dwidmannblekos: daemon tool?19:59
ubuntuLivecoreymon77: Consitering most of my games are old, they will work with Wine if I remember correctly. And if not, I can cheat, run Windows in a vitural machine.19:59
coreymon77yup19:59
blekosto mount/ read an iso image19:59
dwidmannubuntuLive: games don't generally run well in virtual machines19:59
blekosvirtual cd/dvd19:59
coreymon77i would think so20:00
ubuntuLivedwidmann: Steam seemed to work fine when I ran it on the virtual machine in Vista20:00
flipstarblekos: you can use the command 'mount' for that20:00
coreymon77flipstar: isnt there some sort of graphical agent for that on apt20:00
flipstarcoreymon77: gisomount..yes20:00
coreymon77blekos: there you go20:01
flipstarubuntuLive: there is wine and cegega(non-free but better than wine) for win-games20:01
blekosso mount xx.iso /media/cd0?20:02
flipstar*cedega20:02
dwidmannBluesKaj: what VM were you using? I once tried playing Diablo 2 in a virtual machine (vmware-server) and the frame-rates were pretty bad, playable but bad, anything newer would probably be even worse20:02
ubuntuLiveflipstar: Aware. I've read a lot into Linux while my XP was crashing, thank god.20:02
dwidmannwait, not BluesKaj....... mixing up my tabs20:02
coreymon77ubuntuLive: there is also partitioning your drive and keeping doze on your computer purely for the reason of playing games20:02
flipstarblekos: sudo mount -o loop <iso> <mountpoint>20:02
blekosthnx20:02
coreymon77i never run in to those problems since im much more of a console gamer anyways20:03
dwidmannubuntuLive: see above .....20:03
coreymon77i like ut, but they have linux versions anyways20:03
ubuntuLivecoreymon77: Meh. If they don't work I can wait. For the time being, better things can be done. I can finish my book...Vim doesn't cut the cake for the test editor20:03
flipstarubuntuLive: linux is boring in that way..i run 'crashme' several hourse but it never crashes :(20:03
ubuntuLivedwidmann: Uh... not the M$ shat one, the opensource one... don't remember the number20:04
dwidmannubuntuLive: m$ shat one? vmware-server isn't a microsoft piece of crap either ...20:05
coreymon77vmware is by vmware20:05
ubuntuLivedwidmann: I meant, I wasn't using the MS one. MS Virtual PC 2007. I used a different one but I don't remember it's name20:05
coreymon77ubuntuLive: vmware?20:05
ubuntuLiveMaybe20:06
ubuntuLiveI'm waiting on Vista to load SP1 so I can't tell you yet20:06
dwidmannubuntuLive: at any rate, gaming in a windows vm with vmware doesn't work very well, seeing as it won't give the video card direct access20:06
ubuntuLivedwidmann: So Cedega and Wine would be best?20:07
coreymon77ubuntuLive: hate to say it, but thats what you get for buying vista20:07
bnex10going to do something, and have to reboot20:08
ubuntuLivecoreymon77: Hey, if gateway let me roll back to XP, I wouldn't be shitting bricks about coming to Linux20:08
dwidmannubuntuLive: yeah, pretty much, look them up on apps.db.org ... anything not rated "platinum" or "gold" is likely to have a bundle of issues20:08
coreymon77well, when i got my laptop, i got a mac20:09
ubuntuLivecoreymon77: Thanks to Gateway's poor handling of Windows Vista on me, I've trying to get away. Apple isn't a choice, too pricy.20:09
coreymon77so i have the mac lappy and the linux desktop20:09
dwidmannubuntuLive: Linux = cheap and good :)20:09
ubuntuLivedwidmann: I wish the music player I used on Windows worked on Linux but no dice. Close... but only by name.20:10
ubuntuLivedwidmann: Exactly.20:10
coreymon77ubuntuLive: kaffeine or amarok = good20:10
dwidmannubuntuLive: what sort of music player are you looking for, because there are tons, pretty much anything to suit anybody20:10
=== cmwolfseye is now known as c|M_Wolfseye
ubuntuLiveI read on Gizmodo that Mac was hacked in two days, Vista within a week... Ubuntu not within the month.20:10
coreymon77i somehow doubt that20:10
ubuntuLivedwidmann: Something that looks small but plays a lot20:11
coreymon77its easier to hack doze than a mac20:11
dwidmanncli musicplayers, fully loaded gui players, and everything inbetween ...20:11
ubuntuLiveThe KMPlayer20:11
SlimeyPeteubuntuLive: that's possibly a little misleading though, as the Windows and Mac boxes were naturally more enticing targets for the hackers involved20:11
ubuntuLiveSlimeyPete: I heard they had rewards for all though.20:11
SlimeyPetealso, the vulnerability was in the Flash player, and the same problem exists in the Ubuntu port20:11
dwidmannubuntuLive: kmplayer? mplayer? vlc? kaffeine? (those all double as movie players), xmms (very good, reminds me of winamp 3)20:11
ubuntuLiveGimme a minute, I can dig it up20:11
coreymon77w/e, im going to play wii20:12
SlimeyPeteubuntuLive: yes, but the rewards were not very high - they would have been mostly looking for kudos and publicity20:12
snikkeri've got a problem with KsCd. it tell me thst i've no permission to read cd... (same thing with sudo)20:12
p-fIs there a graphical file browser that would allow me to easily modify files' "last modification" attribute? touch's format isn't the most pleasant to use...20:12
ubuntuLivedwidmann: The KMPlayer is a lot like WinAmp so that works20:12
coreymon77ubuntuLive: just remember, linux is not windows, so dont expect it or its programs to be the same20:12
ubuntuLiveSlimeyPete: What better publicity would it be to break into Linux after breaking Windows and Mac? You're shooting all the hope down.20:13
ubuntuLivecoreymon77: I know. If it was, I wouldn't be here ;p20:13
wootenator!Ghost20:13
ubotuOn IRC, if you own a nick that is currently being used, you can make it quit by typing: /msg nickserv GHOST <username> <password>20:13
SlimeyPeteubuntuLive: it's academic anyway - as I say, the problem was with the flash player. None of the OSes were actually compromised, and the hacker who did it says that the same vulnerability exists in the Linux flash player20:13
SlimeyPetedon't get me wrong,Linux in general is more secure20:14
=== wootenator is now known as maduser
coreymon77and so is mac os20:14
coreymon77but be honest20:14
SlimeyPetebut I think the security benefits are being overhyped somewhat20:14
coreymon77if someone really wanted to hack your computer, it wouldnt matter what you were using20:14
ubuntuLiveTrue enough20:15
gonelquiero instalar el flash player pero nose como hacerlo  quien me ayuda20:15
dwidmannIf a (good) hacker has physical access to your computer while it's on you're completey screwed20:15
ubuntuLiveNo offence, but that's a given. Heck, password it as much as you want.. if I get near a PC with a password and my CDs near... I can crack the password thanks to one of my tools, or at least part of it.20:16
gonelcomo se instala el flash player para ver los videos de youtube???20:17
ubuntuLiveAll thanks to SlackLinux LiveCDs20:17
coreymon77!es | gonel20:17
ubotugonel: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda.20:17
gonelthanx20:18
dwidmannubuntuLive: that deends on how much time you have, strong passwords can take a long time to crack - even encryption can be compromised easily if the computer is still running and the keys are cached in memory ...20:18
* dwidmann decides that any more conversation should probably go into #kubuntu-offtopic though20:18
ubuntuLiveTrue enough20:18
dwidmannubuntuLive: if it's non-encrypted you don't even need a password though .... just a live cd20:19
ubuntuLivedwidmann: You need an Enter key you mean ;)20:20
dwidmannhm?20:20
ubuntuLiveJust hit enter and you get in20:20
dwidmannpractically (you'd still need the livecd), but any moron with half a brain could do it20:21
ubuntuLiveWell thanks for the help guys, I have to get off for now. Might pop back later once the beta becomes... nonbeta. But this has been a learning experince. Ciao20:21
ubuntuLivedwidmann: True true20:21
ubuntuLiveAnyway, bye for now20:21
=== luke__ is now known as Coggz
faliesonwhat is the apt repository line for kubuntu that I can add some kubuntu packages to my ubuntu gutsy install?20:24
Coggz artscat20:25

Coggzwhat does that mean?20:25
snikkeri've got a problem with KsCd. it tell me thst i've no permission to read cd... (same thing with sudo)20:27
faliesonkubuntu apt repository is ?20:28
flipstarfalieson: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources and maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine20:28
flipstarsnikker: can you access that cd without kscd ?20:28
faliesonflipstar: thanks20:28
faliesonflipstar: nope, that doesn't help - i need the deb http://archive.server.com/blah/ gutsy free non-free line20:29
flipstarits in the second link20:30
faliesonkubuntu does have a seperate repository than ubuntu right?20:30
SlimeyPetenope20:30
coreymon77falieson: not really20:30
coreymon77falieson: no20:30
faliesonoh.. I thought kubuntu had ktorrent 3.020:31
SlimeyPetesame repositories, different default package20:31
flipstarfalieson: ktorrent 3.0 is ktorrent-kde420:31
faliesonwell that'd be why I didn't find teh apt repository I was looking for :-)20:31
faliesonflipstar: yeah, I know - does that mean i can't get it through synaptic or ?20:31
SlimeyPeteheh20:31
coreymon77that would be it :P20:31
coreymon77falieson: yes you can, you just have to add the repo20:31
flipstarfalieson: sure you can..after adding kde4 sources20:31
faliesonright, which synaptic should get as dependencies anyways20:32
faliesoni did a search for ktorrent-kde4 before jumping in this channel and didn't get any hits20:32
falieson(in synaptic)20:32
flipstarfalieson: see http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.3.php20:33
coreymon77you have to add the repositories for kde4 first20:33
faliesonah20:34
martijn81ktorrent 3.0.1 is a little unstable in some eareas though20:35
martijn81you can better compile the lastest svn20:35
faliesonthanks for the warning20:36
faliesonktorrent 2.x is decent, but I hate that you can't select which files to download or see a file by file progress - 3.x is worth the risk :-)20:37
martijn81falieson: you actually can select which files to download in the 2.2.5 version20:37
faliesonyes, but you can't see their progress20:38
faliesonindividuallyu20:38
martijn81a file by process too20:38
martijn81you only need to load the info widget20:38
faliesonoh - cool20:38
faliesonwell, I guess if ktorrent 3.x kills a lot of things I'll go the 2.2.5 route20:39
martijn81well, current svn is quite stable actually, and has even webseeding20:39
faliesoni originally was just looking for a ktorrent add-in I figured there were others out there with the demand! but then I saw 3.x was out and figured I'd go ahead and try it - worse thing that happens is I have to uninstall some stuff and synaptic so far my system has been pretty well maintained20:40
faliesonI'll be sure to check it out as an alternative20:40
faliesonhmm... will ktorrent-kde4 take over all my current downloads I have with ktorrent automagically? prolly not - heh20:40
dwidmannfalieson: kde4 apps use a seperate conf directory (20:41
dwidmann~/.kder) (grr, stupid enter key)20:41
faliesonheh20:41
martijn81nope, as it will will use another temporarly directory20:41
dwidmannkde420:42
martijn81yup20:42
martijn81~/.kde vs. ~/.kde420:42
faliesonwell, the beauty of linux is there is always a way to fix it :-)20:42
faliesonand 95% of the time - someone has done it before you, and written a howto20:42
dwidmannI wouldn't say 95% .... but yeah, it has all been done before for sure20:43
faliesonwell yeah, 95% of the time for the first half, I was going to say 30% of the time for the howto but figured it was too BS to even utter20:44
faliesonI mention it because I've been downloading a torrent file "Family Guy Seasons 1-5" for about two weeks now20:45
faliesonI'd like to know which eps are done!20:45
dwidmannfalieson: possibly none .... bittorrent doesn't exactly go in order, at all.20:45
flipstarfalieson: just click on 'files' in ktorrent btw i hope this download is legal..20:45
flipstarit provides a status in percent of each file20:46
flipstaryou also can deal with priority's there20:47
flipstare.g prefer the first file20:47
snikkerflipstar: yes i can20:50
snikkerflipstar: yes i can acces to cd without kscd20:50

matissehi21:54
matissewhich Package do I have to install if "glib 2.0 environment" is missing ?21:54
user1flipstar you mean i got to check apache if irun a webhost?21:55
fdovingmatisse: libglib2.0-dev21:55
eagles0513875kkerwin: i dont have that and im on hardy beta21:55
matissefdoving: why not without "dev" ?21:56
kkerwineagles0513875: Ah. I see.21:56
flipstaruser1: i mean check if apache updates are released..via mailing list or so and check that it is prober configured21:56
kkerwineagles0513875: Perhaps I should simply run compiz?21:56
fdovingmatisse: i assume you're trying to compile something?21:56
eagles0513875go for it its addicting once u have it setup21:56
matissefdoving: right21:56
kkerwineagles0513875: In regards to running compiz, how do I set it up?21:56
eagles0513875sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion21:56
jussi01!compiz21:56
ubotuKubuntu 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-fusion21:56
fdovingmatisse: then you want the -dev package, as that's exactly what it's for.21:56
user1flipstar hmm. still peple get hacked on updates systems21:56
matissefdoving: than thanks for the fast answer21:57
flipstaruser1: becorse configuration is weak..right21:57
user1flipstar hmm..21:57

fernandowhich one is 7.x ?22:04
kkerwineagles0513875: I followed the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion22:05

user1flipstar snort22:05
eagles0513875i just instaled the compiz-fusion pkg and the ccsm pkg which allows u to mod the compiz settings and thats all i did22:05
kkerwineagles0513875: And where did you get these packages?22:06
flipstaruser1: yes..snort is one of them :)22:06
flipstaruse oinkmaster or so to control it22:06
eagles0513875kkerwin: in the repos22:06
user1> use oinkmaster or so to control it me?22:06
eagles0513875do apt-cache search for em22:07
kkerwinAre you using hardy or gutsy?22:07
fernandoeagles: I have kubuntu 7.1022:07
flipstaruser1: to control the rules for snort22:07
fernandoisn't that feisty?22:07
eagles0513875fernando: ok how olds the drive in question22:07
user1flipstar is it gui?22:07
flipstarnope22:07
eagles0513875fernando: gutsy22:07
user1flipstar k22:07
fernandoit's an HP 400i22:07
fernandoa few years old22:07
kkerwineagles0513875: Ok. Now I'm getting confused whom you are talking to.22:07
fernandoI noticed that drives are recognised as SCSI, even though theyare IDE22:08
fernandoI read somewhere that SATA is used now for everything22:08
fernandocould that be the problem?22:08
eagles0513875kkerwin: thats to fernando did u get the pkgs from the repos22:08
fernandoyes22:08
kkerwineagles0513875: No. I was asking you if that is the gutsy or hardy repos.22:08
fernandoah, ok22:08
eagles0513875fernando: did u do an upgrade rom feisty with no cd22:08
fernandojust a sec...22:08
eagles0513875kkerwin: can u run an apt-cache search for compiz-fusion cuz i honestly am not sure22:09
fernandoall my lines in sources.lst say "feisty"22:09
eagles0513875fernando: there might be ur problem22:09
fernandomy kernel is 2.6.20-16-generic22:10
kkerwineagles0513875: It only lists the package name, and not what repo it comes from.22:10
eagles0513875u did a cdless upgrade from feisty to gutsy and that is still quite buggy cuz dependecies sometimes dont work right22:10
eagles0513875kkerwin: then ull have to go into the pkg manager22:10
fernandoyes, I did my upgrade through the internet22:10
eagles0513875fernando: u need to do a clean install22:10
fernandooops!22:10
fernandono other way around?22:11
eagles0513875fernando: that way tends to break alot of stuff22:11
eagles0513875not really unless u can live with out the drive22:11
fernandowhat if I run a dist-upgrade?22:11
kkerwineagles0513875: Ok. I'm going to get rid of all of these extra packages that this installed first. I'll probably upgrade to hardy and see if compiz-fusion is in hardy's repos, because it is not in gutsy's repos.22:12
fernandohow do I know exactly which version I am running?22:12
eagles0513875kkerwin: it is cuz im on hardy beta22:12
eagles0513875!version22:12
ubotuTo find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell22:12
fernandook22:12
eagles0513875fernando: 7.10 is gutsy22:12
fernandook, it says 7,04 feisty22:12
fernandoI thought I had 7.1022:13
eagles0513875then thats different22:13
fernandook, so I am seemingly one version behind22:13
fernandohowever I'm sure I ran a dist-upgrade at some point22:13
eagles0513875lol fernando dont do cdless upgrade reinstall is best and safest way to not end up with dependency issues of pkgs that have been taken out of gutsy repos22:14
eagles0513875u understand what im saying22:14
fernandoyes22:14
fernandobut apt is supposed to take care of those things22:14
fernandodebian upgrades are normally quite safe22:15
eagles0513875fernando: ive done it in the past and ive encountered problems22:15
fernandois this an ubuntu issue?22:15
eagles0513875k/ubuntu ya22:15

fernandohmmm....not good....22:16

fernandothanks!22:16
mefisto__I upgraded from feisty to gutsy without problems22:16
eagles0513875mefisto__: lucky u22:17

fernandoyes22:17
mefisto__fernando: I had to run a dist-upgrade a few times22:18
fernandoso the problem was the dist-upgrade?22:18
eagles0513875give it a try is all i gotta say22:18
eagles0513875guys u know u have to edit ur source list with gutsy repo list22:18
eagles0513875!sourceomatic22:18
ubotusource-o-matic is not available anymore, please use Software Sources (in your Applications / K menu) to configure your repositories. Do NOT enable "Proposed updates" unless you're willing to test possibly seriously flawed packages.22:18
fernandoright, yes, I see. thanks for the advise22:18
eagles0513875fernando: but that site i wanted to link u is no more22:18
eagles0513875btw dist-upgrade downloads all pkgs even pkgs that have been held back22:19
fernandoI see22:19
* cracko is away: Gone away for now.22:19
fernandobut why is my sources.lst still saying feisty?22:19
mefisto__fernando: probably the upgrade is not complete. try to update and dist-upgrade again and see what happens22:21
fernandoright22:21
fernandook, I'll try that.22:22

v6lurhow can i get rid of kwrite? safe to just rename it into /usr/bin/kwrite-bak and then symlink kate to kwrite?23:33
v6luramarok script manager keeps calling kwrite, though kate is set as default text editor23:34
PhilRodshould be fine I think, although it might be tidier to find the places where kwrite gets opened (eg file associations) and chenge it there23:34
PhilRods/chenge/change/23:34
v6lurerm... which package contains kwrite?23:43
PhilRodkdelibs or kdebase23:44
PhilRodah, I think the katepart, which is the editor which both kwrite and kate use, is in kdelibs, while the kwrite and kate applications live in kdebase23:45
PhilRodICBW though23:45
Jucatokdebase in KDE 3 and kdebase/apps in KDE 423:46
Jucatov6lur:  ^^^^23:46
Jucatounless you are talking about distro packages, that can be a totally different thing23:46
Jucatoer wait lol sorry wrong channel... kwrite has a kwrite package :)23:47
* Jucato blames PhilRod for being confused23:47
PhilRodheh, and I need to remember that the answer to a question depends on what channel I'm in23:48
