fracnyfd0 is your cd room00:59

rootlinuxusrSounds like it's something wrong on the disc, it can't read a certain part, or mebbe the CD drive isn't fully plugged in?01:00

DarkestHourand you'll get those through adept_manager01:24
DarkestHourNo problem.01:25
xenthral_man I hope the 7.10 -> 8.04 transition is less rocky then the 7.04 -> 7.10 one01:25
xenthral_cause I don't feel like reinstalling the whole system again01:25
DarkestHourlol, i messed with my 7.10 install so much that i had some wierd problems. i just said screw it and did a complete reinstall with the 8.04 rc01:26
xenthral_everything is Just Working right now01:26
xenthral_don't want to have to reconfigure stuff01:26
DarkestHourhopefully you should be fine. especially since there is no major kde version change for you to have to deal with.01:27
DarkestHouri switched to kde4 during 7.10 so i decided to just start off with the kubuntu remix this time.01:27
DarkestHourhmm, anyone know the command for the restricted driver manager?01:31

carlomagnoHi01:52
dorkfaceHi all.  I'm having a problem with kubuntu crashing where if the laptop lid is closed for a while, and when it opens to a screen saver password prompt, it freezes hard.  I've tried looking in /var/log/messages, but I couldn't find anything referencing anything happening before the crash.  Are there any other logs that I could check?01:54
carlomagnoAfter upgrading to 7.10 I can't load gdm anymore (it won't recognise SVG files). I tried reinstalling the relevant libraries but to no avail, so I figured I'd try out kdm. Can anybody tell me how to set kdm as my default window manager from the command line? (I'm in recovery mode.) Is tehre some setting in /etc/X11/?01:54
xoqasupposedly there's a restore feature for konqueror's tabs after it crashes.. for kde 3, it's in kdeaddons and for kde 4, it's in extra gear... but i'm not seeing them... anyone know what to search for01:56
=== nivek_ is now known as nivek
xoqacarlomagno: i think you can set it as the default in your xorg.conf file01:57
carlomagnoxoqa, thanks. Somebody on #ubuntu suggested sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm.01:57

xoqacarlomagno: ah, nice01:58
carlomagnoI'll try that. Cheers.01:58
martin_hallo dorkface, I noticed that the stand by modus doesnt works. so after going into the stand by modus, the computer doesn't wake up any more. Probably you have set you powermanager so, that he pushes the laptop into stand by (suspend) when you close the laptop lid... Try to change this01:59
crunchybumbleI'm new to KDE. Where in the GUI can I see whether the automatic install picked up my wireless card?02:02
dorkfacemartin_: I don't believe it is in sleep mode, it should just turn to a screen saver02:03
dorkfacebut, does it go to sleep after a while?02:03
xoqacrunchybumble: you should be able to right click on the kde network manager icon02:03
xoqait should tell you what connections you have02:04
xoqayou could just use dmesg though02:04
dorkfacemartin_: yeah, I checked power manager, and I have "Do Nothing" on "when Laptop Lid Is Closed"02:04
martin_dorkface: so its strange02:05
canen_hello02:05
dorkfacemartin_: but I do have "Lock screen on resume" checked02:05
canen_is there a specific channel for people wanting to try the rc?02:05

crunchybumbleso, from googling around, it appears that I need to use the ndiswrapper to get my wireless card (Netgear WG311 v2) working02:08
canen_yeah, a lot02:08
crunchybumbleI've had no experience using this02:08
crunchybumblecan I just apt-get it, and it'll magically work?02:08
crunchybumbleiwconfig lists lo eth0 and eth1 as no wireless connections, the kubuntu network manager doesn't list lo02:11
bragoo08crunchybumble: you need to have "universe" enabled in adept manager to "apt-get" ndiswrapper!02:12
bragoo08cruncybumble: try http://www.mattweber.org/2005/22/using_dwl-g510_in_linux/ i now it's not the same wifi card, but it explains how to use ndiswrapper.02:19

dennisterhey channel; anyone have any idea why a pc would simply refuse to boot from either of 2 installed cdroms?  always get a failure, no matter what livecd or alternatecd I insert into either drive02:39
stdincorrupted RAM maybe02:40
DarkestHourare you getting an error of any sort? or it just wont boot from the cd?02:40
crunchybumblesilly question, but you did make sure to burn them as images, not as data files, right?02:41
dennisterthe only error i get is "Failure"...this is at the bios level....nothing on the hdd yet02:41
DarkestHourDo you have your bios set to boot from CD drives?02:41
dennisterDarkestHour: yes, set to boot from cd drives,02:42
dennistercrunchybumble: these same cd's have installed OS onto previous machines02:42
DarkestHourit is possible those drives might have problems readings the disc's. I've had to use a seperate dvd-rom with my desktop pc for some reason. but after the install it worked fine.02:43
bragoo08dennister: how many cd drives do you have?02:43
crunchybumblemaybe burning media as well02:43
crunchybumbleare they older drives?02:43
dennisterstdin: ram gets counted properly, can't do memtest unless it will boot from livecd02:43
dennisterDarkestHour: i've already changed one drive for another that I know works well02:44
bragoo08dennister: it maybe only reading the master drive02:44
stdindennister: can't you remove the ram and put in some from another box, just to see if it is the ram?02:44
xoqaoi.. so... not seeing the 'svn' command in konsole...02:44
dennisterbragoo08: i have 2, one is plain cdrom; other is dvdrom02:44
xoqajust wondering what package it's in02:45
stdinxoqa: svn"02:45
stdinor subversion02:45
stdinadept/apt-cache would know02:45
dennisterstdin: yes, I can do that, as I do have toehr boxes here in earlier state of refurbishing,...i had just *never* seen this before...total refusal to boot from either of two optical drives02:45
stdinalso if you types "svn" and have command-not-found installed it would say02:46
bragoo08dennister: do you get "failure" twice or just once?02:46
DarkestHourdennister: you may want to try and do a bios update on the mother for that machine.02:46
stdindennister: does it even boot from hdd?02:46
DarkestHourdennister: err, motherboard02:46
xoqastdin: ah, i just ran a wrong command :| sorries02:46
dennisterbragoo08: i only get it once...make sure i put cd into master drive, and made sure I knew which one that was :)02:46
dennisterDarkestHour: yes, i was thinking of flashing bios :(02:47
bragoo08dennister: i'm guessing this is a p2 or p3 machine!02:47
dennisterstdin: can't boot from hdd...hdd is still blank...02:48
dennisteryes, this is a soyo mobo with P3 cpu02:48
stdindennister: test with another hdd ;)02:48
DarkestHourdennister: have you tried unplugging the hdd and seeing if it would then boot from the cd?02:48
dennisterok, haven't tried unplugging the hdd yet...was hoping to avoid flashing bios, so that's worth a shot02:49
xoqasomeone mind telling me what i'm doing wrong? http://dpaste.com/45881/ i was geting the 301 moved error with kdesvn as well02:49
bragoo08dennister: if your dvd is master then try swapping master to the cd drive!02:49
DarkestHouryeah, atleast try to elimate some points of potential failure.02:49
dennisterand yes, I have another smaller hdd for testing...sometimes when you get a wierd error it's good to simply ask if someone else has seen this before02:50
xoqasvn list gives an 301 moved error as well02:50
dennisterthis is a new one on me, lol02:50
dennisterbragoo08: both optical are on secondary ide, with cd as master, dvd as slave; on primary ide the 80g hdd is master, zip drive is slave02:51
DarkestHourwhat did you set the boot order to in bios?02:51
stdinI find it sometimes helps to just take it apart and put it back together again02:52
bragoo08dennister: unplug one drive at a time and try each one solo!02:52
dennisterDarkestHour: cdrom, A, C02:52

dennisteranyone have an idea of a distro that I could get loaded/installed onto this tecra?03:34
StargazerUnrar ? just open the .rar file with Firefox and when it says "download this file.." use fileroller to open it03:34
steiniJust press the K->System->Adept Manager and search for unrar.. install unrarchiver for .rar files (non-free version)03:35
steinijust uninstall all the other rar things ;)03:35

ragsagaris kubuntu 8.04 is coming with kde 4??04:57
ragsagaranyone?? all are sleeping online??04:57
PhilRoddevin_: yeah, I suspect that would happen to me too - the advantage of focus-follows-mouse is that you can focus a window without raising it04:58
PhilRodbut the help on that page says it breaks Alt+Tab, which is too high a price to pay, for me at least04:58

micha__does someone know where kubuntu's shutdown config file lives /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc is the normal path but all the changes in here get ignored ...05:32
Dr_willisYou did restart the kdm service?05:32
micha__Dr_willis: yes but i can change whatever and it will not use the file05:33
Dr_willismicha__,  interesting.. ive never had that issue.05:33
Dr_williswhat are you changeing exactly?05:33
micha__Dr_willis: you could also use the system settings login manager and change log in wallpaper and so on but it doesnt use that05:35
Dr_willisHmm.. It does for me.. but all my machines are now hardy based. So i cant confirm/deny your issue. sorry.05:35
micha__Dr_willis: i have the problem that my box does not fully shut down if i use the gui ... sudo shutdown -PH now does work ...05:36
Dr_willismicha__,  i tend to use the halt, command from a terminal. :) as a 'cheat' you could make a 'shutdown' user, and make their shell be the proper shutdown command.   I did that ages ago. if i loged in as that user from kdm/shell/whever. shstem would shutdown.05:37
Dr_willisYou are saying that in the kdmrc configs the 2 lines....05:37
Dr_willisHaltCmd=/sbin/poweroff05:37
Dr_willisRebootCmd=/sbin/reboot05:37
Dr_willisDo not propelry shutdown your machine eh?05:37
micha__exactly ... so i was hoping to find the config file and change /sbin/shutdown with /sbin/shutdown -Ph now ,,, since that is working in the terminal05:39
Dr_willisi dont even see 'shutdown' in there.. let me see05:39
Dr_willisi got poweroff and reboot. :) no shutdown05:39
Dr_willisI wonder how shutdown and poweroff, differ.05:40
micha__it's using poweroff ... poweroff doesnt work here shutdown does05:41
devin_can you run emerald without compiz?05:41
Dr_willisInteresting.05:41
Dr_willisdevin_,  not really.05:41
Dr_willisemerald is one of the 3 window decorators that compiz can use.05:42
olllbut kubuntu is not reading that file ... GreetString=Welcome to Kubuntu at %n for example can be chaned but it does not get used on log in05:43
Dr_willisso micha__  youa re using      HaltCmd=/sbin/shutdown -PH05:43
olllolll = micha05:43
Dr_willisolll,  thers also 2 seperate kdm login screens, the fancy graphical one, and the simpiler one.05:44
olllsorry Dr_willis05:44
Dr_willisif using    HaltCmd=/sbin/shutdown -PH    --- Im wondering if it shouldent be    HaltCmd='/sbin/shutdown -PH'05:44
ollldo you know where the fancy one is05:44
Dr_willisfancy one is the default for a local X login, the simpiler oneis the default for xdmcp logins i recall05:45
olllfor some reasons the poweroff command does not fully shut down ... shutdown does05:45
yyyyyyyyyi made a desktop shortcut shutdown -Ph now that works as well but that is not the same f*cking internet here05:51
=== yyyyyyyyy is now known as micha1
=== micha1 is now known as micha11
Dr_willissounds like some apci quirk/issue going on , as the the reason the 2 commands differ.05:53
Dr_willisacpi  I think is  the proper term. :)05:53
micha11hmm that i don't like about *bunut ... they use strange config files sometimes05:54
Dr_willisadvanced power controll interface.  -  what happens if you hit alt-ctrl-delete from the kdm screen? :) that kicks my pc into shutdown mode.05:54
Dr_willisheck - i can just hit the power button and it will start shutting down.. the 2 yr old discovered THAT feature for me today05:54
Dr_willis'push the big button, and papa yells!'05:54
micha11Dr_willis: that works ... in fact i have to do so ... if i klick the gui button it will start to shut down and than i have to help with ctrl alt del05:55
Dr_willisheh. So if you make changes to the kdm settings with the GUI tool (as root/admin of course) the config file does change? or does it not even change?05:56
micha11Dr_willis: if i change the /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc file or system settings > login manager it does not change anything ... but the gui login manager writes to the file /etc/kde3/...05:58
Dr_willisHmm.. ok.. You are NOT using kdm4 are you? You never installed kde4 did you?05:59
* Dr_willis is just guessing at whats going no now. Im out of ideas05:59
micha11now Dr_willis i need to use this box kde4 is not for working ... not at the moment ... thanks anyway for your help ... ill keep searching06:01

Troggymd5sums check out ok06:30
eagles0513875what kernel is going to be included in the release is it 2.6.2506:31

TroggyI've burned the CD 4 times now, checked it, even tried to install plain ubuntu which worked fine...06:32
gnub_daemon8.04 as well...and shouldn't it be an official release by now...it is 04/08 already06:33
TroggyWell. of course it's an RC, that's why I'm trying to work out the cause so I can file a bug06:34
eagles0513875gnub_daemon it will be official on the 24th06:34
gnub_daemonah...thanks for the info06:35
eagles0513875gnub_daemon no prob if its reporting a read error there must be somethign wrong with ur burn06:35
gnub_daemonis that what buffer I/O error means?  It says unable to read fragment cache block/ page 83e1c and unable to execute /bin/sh for rc-default06:37

Daisuke_Idoeither the cd has errors or it doesn't06:49

Dr_willisThat sounds.. bad06:50
Daisuke_IdoTroggy, you should probably consider memtest as well, this is not normal operation06:50

Daisuke_IdoDr_willis, different errors reading the livecd, and the md5 checked out06:53
Daisuke_Idois what i was understanding06:53
gnub_daemonno...I'm trying to install mythbuntu...I just get the same errors that Troggy was getting...It won't let me install06:53

Daisuke_IdoTroggy, i would let it run for a while06:54
Daisuke_Idoif it were fingerprints or a scratch, you would expect the errors to come up at the same place each time06:55
Daisuke_Idoin this case, they aren't06:55
Daisuke_Idothat says to me, ide or ram issue06:55
TroggyI doubt it's the RAM though.06:55
Daisuke_Idoram's more likely, so check that first06:55
Daisuke_Idonapoleon doubted he'd lose, too.06:56

Daisuke_Idoever think that something may have gotten damaged?06:58
Daisuke_Idoit's entirely possible06:58

ubotuIf you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP307:21
TroggyKernel and drivers should be the same for ubuntu and kubuntu though, right?07:21
Daisuke_Idoyes07:22
Daisuke_Idothe only difference is desktop environment and the included apps07:22
gnub_daemonandrew...there is a way...I can't recall how...but I think it was a package that I installed...you might check your favorite search engine or the ubuntu forums07:23
TroggyBecause as I said, Ubuntu installed just fine. Only difference was the availability of a DVD for ubuntu which I suppose doesn't need to compress using squashfs07:23
Daisuke_Idosee if it works well in another pc07:24
Daisuke_Idoif it doesn't, it's a disc issue07:25
Daisuke_Idoif it does, you do have a hardware issue07:25
tylerwhat is the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu?07:26

nabilanother question: i'd like 2 use my kubuntu directly from an usb stick but my BIOS does not permit this !!09:45
eagles0513875nabil: cannot help u there how big is ur usb stick09:46
eagles0513875nabil: 2ndly its not dependent on bios r u on a laptop or desktop09:46
nabili've 2: 1GB and 4GB09:46
kaminixnabil: If your BIOS won't allow it, then there's no helping it. You need a better BIOS if you're to use it.09:46
nabildesktop09:46
eagles0513875try install it on the 4gb one09:46
kaminixeagles0513875: I think he means he can't boot from the stick because of his BIOS.09:47
nabilby bios does not have the option: boot from usb!09:47
eagles0513875nabil: on boot up there should be a button u press to choose what u want to boot off of does ur stick show up on that list09:47
oldmanemunabil: then it can't be done!09:47
eagles0513875oldmanemu: he could flash his bios09:48

kaminixWhy won't KNetworkManager recognize my Wireless interface?09:52
payamI had all of my files and images in the same mapp and now when i tried to open a HTm file i  cant see my images and the word are so straing.09:53
oldmanemupayam: have you tried re-installing the program u use for those files?09:54
gnub_daemoneh09:54
gnub_daemonthat works too09:54
payamI just the quanta Plus . yes i have reinstall may times09:55
gnub_daemonwow...the new mythtv gui is kickin09:55
gnub_daemonfor lack of a more appropriate word09:56

harmentalhey guys....does anybody know a tool for creating video captures (besides wink and recordmydesktop)??09:57
payamI run Kubuntu . can i install a Fedora 3 tarball(KDE) software on my KDE?09:57
kaminixKWiFiManager recognices it.09:57
llutzkaminix: is that net-device already configured in /etc/network/interfaces?09:58
llutzharmental: wink09:58
gnub_daemonshould be able to09:58
payamI ve download a .Deb file on my desktop. what should i do to instal it?09:58
Dr_willispayam,  what is this .deb?09:59
Dr_willisone normally installs packages with the package manager. NOT by downloading specific .deb files09:59
Dr_willis'sudo dpkg -i whatever.deb'  should install it - IF it has no extra dependencies.. Double clicking on it MIGHT also install it09:59
gnub_daemonor install the debian package installer10:01
DOOM_NXanyone knows what this means? http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/5290/screenshotvncdoomsxdeskyk0.png10:01
gnub_daemonmeans you need to install that package?10:02
oldmanemuDOOM_NX: it's a url link to a picure!10:02
gnub_daemonnot a clue really10:02
gnub_daemonI'm assuming it's a screenshot10:03
sacha_i think its a screenshot of doom in vnc on someones desktop10:03
oldmanemupossibly10:03
gnub_daemonboosh10:03
DOOM_NXoldmanemu, :/10:03
sacha_am i right doom?10:03
DOOM_NXit's a "vncviewer localhost:1"10:03
DOOM_NXscreen..10:03
sacha_i was right!10:03
eagles0513875it looks like a borked x install10:04
gnub_daemonI sez it first10:04
DOOM_NXshouldn't be able to view my desktop?10:04
DOOM_NXor something10:04
sacha_you need assistive packages installed to do this though10:04
payamccI run Kubuntu. I would to install a file which is called'111.deb' what should i write in teminal to instal it?10:04
cocoailhi10:04
sacha_dpkg -i 111.deb ?10:05
DOOM_NXsacha_, if someone connects through tightvnc on windows will he see that message too?10:05
cocoaili got a question for the pro's10:05
DOOM_NXwhat are assistive packages anyway?10:05
Dr_willis'sudo dpkg -i whatever.deb'  should install it - IF it has no extra dependencies.10:05
cocoailshould i use 8.04 better10:05
cocoailor the 7 version10:05
cocoail8/04 beta10:05
Dr_williscocoail,   8.04 is due to be released in a few days10:05
sacha_8.04 beta is workin fine here10:05
sacha_it's actually RC, not beta10:05
gnub_daemon8.04 isn't quite done yet...but works well for me too10:05

sacha_pretty much10:07
cocoailshould i just bloody wait for the final release10:07
gnub_daemonclose enough as to make no nevermind10:07
sacha_RC is pretty much same as release. may be a few bugs fixed10:07
cocoailall these options10:07
Dr_willisLinux is all about flexibility and options10:07
sacha_and when the release comes out, you can upgrade to it10:07
gnub_daemonI'd go with rc over beta if I were you10:07
sacha_no sweat from your RC install10:08
cocoailso it will upgrade easily10:08
sacha_yeah10:08

cocoailis it worth going to vista ?10:10
gnub_daemonah...I didn't much care for vista really10:10
sacha_its worth stickin with linux IMHO10:10
gnub_daemonit's what got me started on linux in the first place10:10
sacha_but server 2008 > vista if you are wondering10:10
sacha_if you were going to install windows at all, go with 200810:10

gnub_daemonHA...no doubt10:12
cocoailshould i downlaod the alternative10:13
cocoailor desktop10:13
cocoailalternative is probably quicker10:13
gnub_daemonprolly desktop if you're a first time user10:13
Dr_willisdepends on your needs. :)10:13
cocoailim not10:13
sacha_cocoail: desktop is nice. you can run ubuntu off the cd to see what you're getting in to before you install10:13
cocoailbut i know little10:13
gnub_daemonI always have probs with alt10:13
payamWhen do you use 'apt-get install '???10:14
sacha_that way you know beforehand if things wont work out10:14
cocoailok ill use desktop10:14
sacha_payam: to install packages that are in your repositories10:14

sacha_yeah but you can install it from kubuntu too10:16
Dr_willisWUBI can do that cocoail  - but i dont advise using wubi.10:17
payamhow can you install a tar.biz file?10:17
cocoailim doing beta from my internets ftp server (which gives me free downloads)10:17
sacha_you install it from windows, it defeats the purpose of using live cd to preview it before you install though10:17
payamtar.gz10:17
cocoailif i update it after i install the beta10:17
cocoailwill it be less of a download to update to RC10:17
cocoailif u get me10:18
sacha_payam: tar xvf filename.tar.gz && cd filename && ./configure && make && make install10:18
Dr_williscocoail,  depends on the # of updates in the next few days..10:18
cocoaili think ill just install the beta and update it once its installed10:18
sacha_cocoail: you can just install the rc right now10:18

payamor Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla):10:31
payamwhat do it mean?10:32
sacha_is this installing a plugin?10:32
payamyes10:32
payamAdobe flash player10:32
sacha_you use konqueror browser?10:32
payamno mozilla10:32
payamfirefox10:32
sacha_oh, well wherever your mozilla plugins are stored10:32
sacha_there's actually a few places that it looks10:33
payamwhat should i wrote there now?10:33
sacha_does /usr/lib/mozilla exist for you?10:33
payamARNING: /usr/lib/mozilla exist for you? is not a directory.10:36
sacha_lol10:39
sacha_without the existing part10:39
payamnever mind! i knew how i do now i just opend a new websied and  clicked on "installa the misse d plugin "in firefox10:41
sacha_lol10:41
payamsacha_: I know it was really Lol10:42
kaminixI have a problem. By adding commandline stuff in /etc/rc.local I've made my OS start my network interface automatically; however, KNetworkManager (a OpenSUSE app, I know) won't recognize the interface, Konqueror won't connect to the Internet and Kopete won't connect to the Internet. On a sidenot, Firefox also starts in offline mode.10:52
jussio1kaminix: please dont ask the same question simultaneously in 2 channels.10:53
dkZhi10:56
dkZkubuntu 8.04 is stable?10:56
jussi01no. not yet. it is eleased next week10:56
dkZok, thx10:56
kaminixjussio1: Then which one should I ask it in?10:56
jussio1kaminix: whichever you feel is more appropriate, however, its considered quite rude to ask in both simultaneously.10:57
Dr_willisfrom the termnal  can you jsut PING some ip's?10:58
sacha_yeah ive had this happen before. if knetworkmanager things you arent connected, everything will be in offline mode10:58
sacha_this was a problem when knetworkmanager was bugged and didnt work. there was a workaround to force online mode10:59
ScorpKingi have a multimedia keyboard and the <F1-12> keys don't work. dmesg shows "Use 'setkeycodes e059 <keycode>' to make it known." how do i get it working?10:59
Dr_willisits not one of those odd keyboards that defalt to the F keys being multi-media functions  is it?11:02
Dr_willisI got a logitech that F1 for example defaults to launch browser,  UNLESS you first hit this mode button.11:02
ScorpKingDr_willis: it has special keys on them as well which doesn't work either. i just want the Fx keys to work11:04
Dr_williscould be theres some 'mode/change/toggle' to select F keys or Special keys thats got it confused11:05
Dr_willisi wonder what keycode F1is normally11:05
ScorpKingDr_willis: not that i can see. if i can get the keycode for F1 i can just - setkeycodes e059 <keycode> and it should work11:07
Dr_willissounds like a plan. You might want to check that keyboard out under other  linux live cd/disrtos see if they also have issues.11:08
ScorpKingi'm compiling hdaintel drivers but get "checking for libasound headers version >= 1.0.15... not present." and have libasound2-dev installed. what am i missing?11:09
ScorpKingDr_willis: i'll have a look online later. thanks :)11:09
wesleyis there a way to deframent you ntfs externalharddrive in kubuntu11:13
Dr_willisthere are some ntfs tools for linux. But i would suggest letting windows defrag the thing11:13
wesleyi want trow windows off it its sucks11:14
wesleybought a notebook with vista basic lol and i already removed it got now a other version11:14
sacha_that sucks.. cause you just paid $60 for vista basic11:15
zeke$60's cheap for vista11:16
zekea steal as it were11:16
sacha_it's vista basic and that's a rip off11:17
zekeas far as OS capabilities go...yes11:17
zekebut for what you would pay for it retail...it's a steal11:18
sacha_i got 3 vista ultimate keys for free for beta testing it.. they are giving it away11:18
zekeI paid for two of them and upgraded immediately to XP11:20
wesleyuh let i say it so haved me 3 times blue screen and @ the end didnt booted anymore11:20
zekeholy mackerel...television has really gone downhill in the past 10 year11:22
kaminixIs there any equivalence to Gentoo's net-setup in Kubuntu? Some tool to configure all network things easily?11:23
dthackerkaminix: System Settings?11:24
sacha_knetworkmanager?11:24
dthackerThen Network and Connectivity11:24
kaminixdthacker: It doesn't work when I try it. sacha_: Knetworkmanager won't even notice my network interface wlan0 since I switched the driver.11:24
sacha_iwconfig ?11:25
dthackerkaminix: What are you trying to accomplish?11:25
sacha_are you sure it's right driver?11:26
rdwhi, how to recreate /etc/fstab? i added a hard drive and now i want it to automatically recognize all partitions like the installer does11:27
=== rendy is now known as rendy__
kaminixdthacker: sacha_: Yes, the driver is right since I'm on here and that's working. ^^ As I said earlier though, some applications won't acknowledge my network interface working... ehm... like KNetworkManager won't even display it, Kopete's MSN services refuse to go online (simmilar to if you disconnect the net, try to go online on MSN and then reconnect again it won't work), Konqueror won't let me surf, and Firefox starts in offline11:27
kaminixmode.11:27
ScorpKinghow do i upgrade alsactl version 1.0.14 to alsactl version 1.0.15?11:27
kaminixIt's very difficult to summarize everything on IRC :p11:28
dthackerkaminix: what I understand is that you have switched drivers and now the OS does not see your network card? Correct?11:29
dthackerScorpKing: use adept and see if the package has been updated in the repositories11:30
kaminixdthacker: Sort of, some applications use it just fine, but the OS itself doesn't seem to want anything to do with it. Yes.11:30
ScorpKingdthacker: nope nothing11:31
ScorpKingdthacker: i found this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=579548&page=2 but still waiting for the page to load. will get back if i have problems11:32
kaminixdthacker: I somehow need to tell the system which network interface to use by default. If I don't forcibly ifconfig wlan0 up my wlan0 interface, it won't come up at all.11:33
dthackerScorpKing: ok, good luck11:35
dthackerkaminix: If you want the wireless interface to start by default, and KDE/KDE utilities are not working for you, perhaps you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces11:36
kaminixdthacker: Any ideas?11:36
kaminixHmm...11:36
kaminixI tried that, but I didn't understand the syntax. Also, eth0 is not in there but start automatically anyway?11:37

ScorpKingin what package is the kernel source?11:45
kaminixdthacker: Yes, just a second.11:45
kaminixdthacker: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63814/11:46
dthackerkaminix: no hardwired connection on this machine?11:47
kaminixdthacker: Actually, it used to list eth0, though it's not in use. Don't know why it's not listed now.11:48
jimhey guys i gotta *.avi i wanna put on a blank cd ! whats the best program to use to do this11:48
dthackerjim: K3B11:48
Dr_willisjim,  you mean archive it as a data file? or convert to a video cd/dvd?11:48
jimits a avi file and i just wanna burn it so i can watch it on my dvd player11:49
Dr_willisjim,  thats a bit more complex.11:49
jimi was hoping it would be easy11:49
Dr_willisThe tool 'devede' can do that rather easially11:49
jimdrag and drop kind of easy !11:49
dthackerkaminix: my wireless does not show up as wlan0 in ifconfig.11:49
dthackerI have eth0 and eth111:49
Dr_willisdvd video format and the menus are a bit complex. and can take a bit of time/cpu to do so.11:49
jimso search for devede11:49
ScorpKingdthacker: try iwconfig11:50
Dr_willis!info devede11:50
ubotudevede (source: devede): program to create video DVDs. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 2.13-0.0 (gutsy), package size 741 kB, installed size 1700 kB11:50
jimnah its not a dvd11:50
Dr_willisTheres other tools that can do it. Thye are all basicially front end to the various conversion tools.11:50
dthackerScorpKing: eth1 as well11:50
jimi just wanna put a *.avi movie on a blank cdr11:50
Dr_willisMaking it onto a CD..not sure if thats even possivle.11:50
kaminixdthacker: Do you use your wireless?11:50
dthackeryes, but the AP is down ATM11:51
Dr_willisjim,  you are sort of missing a point here.. :) either the dvd player can play avi files.. or it cant..   if it can only play dvd video. Youmust convert it to dvd vidoe11:51
=== _Czessi is now known as Czessi
Dr_willisIF you have a newer player that can play avi/divx that makes things MUCH easier11:51
kaminixdthacker: So it's normal eth doesn't show up?11:51
jimmy dvd player can play avi11:51
Dr_willisjim,  then fire up k3b and make a data cd..11:52
Dr_willisthat just saves you about an hr+ of time11:52
jimahh data disc will work will it11:52
jim:/11:52
dthackerkaminix: I don't know.  I think part of your issue is that you have now eth0 and eth111:52
Dr_willisjim,  its YOUR player. :) i dont know.11:53
kaminixdthacker: I don't have eth0 or eth1? :s I usually have an eth0 listed, but right now it's only lo and wlan011:53
jimall dvd players can play avi11:53
Dr_willisjim,  ive seen newer players that even have usb/sd slots.11:53
Dr_willisjim,  Huh? that is not true.. not ALL dvd players can play avi.11:54
jimyeh i got 1 of those11:54
jimbut the dvd player broke11:54
jimit was a cheap 1 from aldis11:54
Dr_willisIn fact i imagine i can find some avi files that those cant play. Its all about the 'codec' of the video file.11:54
* dthacker ponders.....11:54
ScorpKingdthacker: it will be eth1 then.11:54
jimthis is burning fast11:54
* ScorpKing has bad lag..11:54
Dr_willismany of the playes now can play the divx codec videos.11:54
dthackerScorpKing: what will be eth1?11:55
ScorpKingdthacker: wireless11:55
dthackerkaminix: let's try this:  in /etc/network interfaces add these two lines.11:56
dthackerkaminix: at the bottom of the file11:56
dthackerfirst line: auth eth111:56
ScorpKingdthacker: you can change it to wlan0 in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules11:56
kaminixdthacker: But I don't have eth1? :s11:56
dthackerScorpKing: what is the advantage to changing it?11:57
kaminixDon't you mean wlan0 dthacker?11:57
ScorpKingah kaminix :) run iwconfig to see what card is the wireless11:57
ScorpKingdthacker: none ;)11:57
kaminixScorpKing: wlan0 :)11:57
dthackerScorpKing: then should he use auto wlan011:57
dthacker?11:57
* ScorpKing goes back to compiling intelhda drivers..11:57
ScorpKingdthacker: the one that is wireless. it doesn't matter11:58
ScorpKinglook at man interfaces for details ;)11:58
* dthacker reads11:59
kaminixdthacker: The /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules say:12:00
kaminix# PCI device 0x1814:0x0201 (rt2500pci)12:00
kaminixSUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:0d:f0:1d:31:b1", ATTRS{type}=="1", NAME="wlan0"12:00
dthackerScorpKing: are ethx and ethy considered physical interfaces?  Are wlanx and wlany considered physical or virtual interfaces12:00
kaminixrt2500pci is the old driver, should I somehow alter that or something?12:01
dthackerkaminix: we're getting pretty deep in the goo here.  My goal right now is to get the proper autostart into /etc/network/interfaces.12:02
kaminixSounds like a good start, though it wasn't neccesery with the old driver, why should it be with the new one?12:03
dthackerkaminix: I could be wrong, but I think no entry in interfaces=no start.  Can someone confirm or deny my statement?12:04
* dthacker looks around the room12:05
kaminixThat sounds reasonably, but shouldn't I have some kind of entry of my old one left if that was the case? Isn't this some hotplug issue?12:06
jimerrrrrrrrr your right its taking aaaaaaaaages to burn a cd12:06
kaminixThough it can't hurt to have I suppose, might solve it.12:08
dthackerkaminix: hotplug?  Is it a USB wireless device?12:09
kaminixdthacker: Don't know, but well, udev then. Some of the services which activates devices.12:09
dthackerkaminix: is the wireless device built in, or plugged and unplugged?12:10
kaminixBuilt-in12:10
dthackerok.  let me read a few more mins and other people are welcome to help....12:11
* dthacker pokes ScorpKing12:14
dthackerScorpKing: I don't see any examples in the interfaces example file that start devices this way "auto wlan0"  Is it necessary to map "wlan0" to "eth1" and how do I accomplish that?12:16
kaminixWhy would you want to map wlan0 to eth1? :s12:17
dthackerkaminix: I want to autostart the wireless device.  It's currenly only showing as wlan0, but I don't see any examples in the docs that say "auto wlan0" so I'm wondering if it needs to get mapped.12:19

dthackerScorpKing: np.:)12:26
dthackerharmental:  jpgs = still photos?12:26
ScorpKingdthacker: no entry in interfaces=no start is correct. set wlan0 up the same as eth0. it's still a network device. looks like you have the rest right12:28

kaminix^dthacker: Sorry... second line? :p12:32
harmentalthese are really low-res images...not photos or anything like that...12:32
* ScorpKing is back..12:33
kaminix^dthacker: For reference: I first saved after the first line, and everything went down. The wlan0 disappeared from ifconfig and eth0 jumped up.12:33
kaminix^Also, I couldn't get wlan0 online (as in on the net, not just ifconfig up) again.12:33
ScorpKingdthacker: will you manage? i still have nvidia drivers to install and it's giving problems. i'll be in and out of X all the time12:34

dthackerScorpKing: nah,  if he can start a device with "auto wlan(x)" then I think we're ok.12:36
ScorpKingdthacker: it should be unless there is encryption on the link. have fun. :)12:37

GeekFarmAnyone know if it is possible to set all files to read-write or if this is okay to do?13:48
gnoobGeekFarm, that would be something root could do.13:49
GeekFarmI'm trying to use apt-get to reinstall xserver and it's telling me dpkg is read only13:49
gnoobI am not sure why you would want a user to do that.13:49
GeekFarmI had a complete failure while updating kubuntu13:49
GeekFarmit's down to command line and I'm a newbine ;)13:49
gnoobGeekFarm, does your terminal line end it a $ or a #?13:50
GeekFarm#13:50
GeekFarmwhats the significance of that?13:50
gnoob$ is a normal user # is the root account.13:50
gnoobI have not really use Ubuntu but don't you have to use the sudo command? Did you try that?13:51

matt_even after a complete reinstall, after sudo bashing the nvidia drivers from the nvidia site, they install correctly, i'll startup kdm again, it works fine. Problem=I have to sudo bash them every boot. The last part of the installer changes your xorg.conf, so that is ok. What could be causing this? Everytime i boot up, it goes to a cli.14:42
yskyes14:43
PriceChildmatt_: you haven't installed the drivers properly... we reccomend using the drivers included in ubuntu, in the nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-legacy or nvidia-glx-new packages14:43
matt_PriceChild: hey...i've done this many times on this and other systems...i'm just wondering what is happening this time. used to work 100%. the drivers work much better than your nvidia=glx14:44
Stroganoffmatt_ alternatively you could use the "Envy" (latest) graphics driver installer14:44
crazy_busam I allowed to ask a wget question here since it's used in kubuntu.  Or should I go elsewhere?14:45
matt_Stroganoff: i didn't think of that, why didn't i think of that, i've talked a few times with the guy that wrote it, why didn't i think of that.14:45

ubotuStroganoff: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver »14:45

eagles0513875sourcemaker_: there was a bug filed as to a dependency not being installed let me get the bug and link it for ya that way ull have the pkg15:27
jonathan__i now found the reason through typing "mtp-detect" once as user root and once as I'm just logged in with my standard user-name.15:27
jonathan__when i'm logged in as a root it works nice, but if I'm trying the same as a normal user the console says that no mtp-device was found...15:27
jonathan__how can i solve that problem ?? :)15:28

julieflash, java, codec etc16:36
Jucatojulie: "non-free" here doesn't mean you have to pay for them16:37
Jucatothey mean that they are restricted in some sense, like not having their source code available, or not being able to redistribute them freely, or have patents involved16:37

neville_You only have to do it once though julie, and that's it...16:45
jhutchinsjulie: Only the branded version is "legal" to distribute in the U.S.16:45
juliehow do mandriva mange to do it then16:46
jhutchinsjulie: In order to legally distribute some of it, a company has to have a license agreement allowing them to provide the software - and some software companies won't let other companies do that, even for a fee.16:46
jhutchinsjulie: Some of the software is just linked to the original distributor.16:47
lovreDaisuke_Ido: i think i have found a way. Try this: "unrar x -r . "16:47
jhutchinsjulie: So while the commercial versions of other distros may have some of the software, they don't have everything.16:47
lovreDaisuke_Ido: position yourself in parent folder first16:47
DreadKnightjulie: fire the damn konsole and paste in it: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras16:47
jhutchinsjulie: As people have told you here though, it's not that hard to get around if you know the right way to handle it.16:47

eagles0513875julie: the cd upgrade is used in conjunction with the internet its to check pkg dependencies and whats been removed from previous installation17:19
madobut i don't have debian installed and i heard it wasn't wise to install e.g. an etch-deb-package17:19

DreadKnightjulie: you need to add the hardy repository...17:21
madoi installed it ... but it is an old one17:21
eagles0513875julie: i just did a clean install since i was already on hardy beta17:21
madoisn't there a newer version in another repository?17:21

madoScummVM 0.11.1 is the latest one17:22
eagles0513875julie: do u have the gutsy cd17:22
DreadKnightjulie: it's an old methor of doing things... ok..17:22
DreadKnightmethod*17:22
ryanakcamado: ah, sorry. Hmm... Well, hardy has 0.11.1-1 , gutsy doesn't. Well, you could try, but your mileage may vary and it isn't a supported method17:22
madoryanakca, ... pardon?17:22
ryanakcamado: (aka, some dependencies might not be at the right version in the gutsy repository)17:23
ryanakcamado: you can try, but it will most likely break, and it isn't a supported method17:23
eagles0513875ryanakca: julie would like to upgrade to hardy the old fashioned way changing the source list could you walk her through the new method of upgrading17:23

madomaybe you can explain later to me ... why it is bad to install a debian-package17:24
eagles0513875mado: its not all the pkgs in the repos r .deb17:25
madobut please explain it in a simple way ... so that i can tell my parents too if they want to know it17:25
eagles0513875mado: older versions possibly depend on older dependencies which have probably been improved or phased out so if you install something new u might now have the proper dependencies and can create numerous problems17:26
eagles0513875kaminix: i need to start doing that and taking notes of what i removed for my os17:26
eagles0513875julie: do u have a gutsy cd17:26
kaminixeagles0513875: Why take notes?17:26
eagles0513875kaminix: so if i break anything and have to reinstall i can and remember what i did dont forget this is for my cluster os development17:26
kaminixWhat exactly is a Cluster OS?17:27

the-ermerrpast: I've never had problems with keyboards ... I usually plug them in and go.  You might need to use xev to figure out the codes for the keys, and then edit the name of a file that escapes me at this time :)17:39

the-ermI'm wondering if I should install the RC for 8.04.17:43
the-ermLast time I upgraded it wasn't fun.17:43
the-ermIf I did it now, I wonder if it would be easier when the official 8.04 came out.17:44
the-ermWell less downloads anyways ...17:44
BluesKajthe-erm, the "official release " is only 4 days away17:45
the-ermLast time they released it took forever to download ...17:45
the-ermI wanted apt-torrent to exist very badly.  Then again I had quite a few weird repositories in the list.17:46
BluesKajI have a bunch of broken pkges so I'm doing a clean install in a week or so , once the DL activity dies down somewhat17:46
the-ermIt's always the same ... an impatient itch comes over me when its about time for the new one to come out.17:47
jacalopehow do you downgrade a package (like kmail) to an earlier version?17:49
DarkShinigamiHello all.17:50
BluesKajmy problem is I don't know what broke my networking apps like samba and cupsys, so a clean install may not fix what is broken ...could be something on the windows network side17:50
DarkShinigamiI am using a Dell SmartStep 250N. How can I get the FN function and top "Easy Launch Keys" to work?17:51
the-ermBluesKaj: are you running inside a vm?17:52

BluesKajthinking17:54
the-ermOf course if you're in here, I think your network is fine.17:55
the-ermYou probably need to restart your cups.sys files.17:55
the-ermer daemon.17:55
ryanakcamado: OK, packages have dependencies, that's to say, it depends on other packages to run. However, when you install a package from say Debian, that hasn't been backported or prepared for your current system,17:55
the-ermI recall not too long ago that cups had an update.17:55
the-ermMaybe something in /etc/cups got overwritten.17:56

ryanakcamado: the versions of the dependencies of the package you wish to install might not be correct. ex: A-1.0 depends on B-3.2.2, but on your system, you can only install B-3.2.0.17:57

DarkShinigami!es | jor17:57
madook ... i see ... thanks ryanakca ... is this the "only" problem?17:58
ryanakcamado: because the dependencies aren't at the right version, the program will often break and crash at wierd times. If other programs depend on that program, then those programs also break. Thus it creates a big chain of breakage that wouldn't exist if you had stayed with the original Ubuntu package. Installing 3rd party packages might also cause issues when upgrading.17:59

nosrednaekimkostas2505: they are automatically updated18:08
nosrednaekimang3lo5: ok, what driver are you using? fglrx or the Open source ati18:08
the-ermkostas2505: Usually adept_notifier will pop up in your taskbar when updates are available.  I recommend against running apt-get update; apt-get upgrade automatically, because if something breaks, you don't know what packages were installed last.18:09
the-ermIf you know what's being installed, you might have an idea of where to look if something stops working.18:10
ang3lo5it was automatically downloaded....:( cant say....i dont know how i can see my devices also so i can check drivers ver.18:10

EarthwingsHi, a question on upgrading: Can I use a command line upgrade like this? Update all packages, change things in sources.list to read hoary, update again? Or does the graphical version do more?20:20
DarkestHour!upgrade20:20
ubotuFor upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes20:20
DarkestHouryou should be able to apply those to hardy20:20
Earthwingsubotu: it doesn't cover it20:20
DarkestHourhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades/Kubuntu20:21
DarkestHourthat does.20:21
JoshOvkiEarthwings: when i last upgraded i killed my install cause it hang, might be worth making a data backup first20:21
narothepharohi am using kubuntu 7.10 cant get my screensaver to work any ideas?20:21
EarthwingsDarkestHour: i'm looking for a command line version20:21
DarkestHourrun sudo apt-get dist-upgrade20:22

DarkestHourback20:31
Earthwingsicewaterman: imagemagick (convert,mogrify,...)20:31
icewatermanEarthwings: imagemagick is for manipulating images20:33
junkieOkay, so i downloaded and burned the ultimate boot cd and ran it on the computer, but I'm not sure what i need to do to fix the problem. Anyone know?20:33
=== junkie is now known as jparishy
icewatermanEarthwings: the images are already fine, just wanna print them all into a single pdf file20:33
Earthwingsicewaterman: one page each?20:34
icewatermanEarthwings: yes20:35
icewatermanEarthwings: but only 1 will fit onto one page anyway, so the program doesnt even need to know that i want 1 page each, they will simply just fit20:36
asifHello there...20:36
lz1gjdcould anyone tell me how to connect to a vpn in hardy rc , pls ?20:36
icewatermanlz1gjd: -> #ubuntu+120:36
Odd-rationale!hardy | lz1gjd20:36
ubotulz1gjd: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu20:36
Earthwingsicewaterman: personally i'd write a script to generate a .tex file and have latex do the rest20:36
asifA quick question: "timestamp too far in the future: Apr 20 23:25:34 2008", I get this error chaning password...any ideas whats wrong20:36
Earthwingsasif: is that time in the future in your timezone?20:37
asifhello earthwings... 20.4 is today, how could it be future?20:38
asifi want to change password to login as root in order to do many things..but i cant do it. any help... it is 8.04 kubuntu beta20:39
icewatermanEarthwings: i am gonna use gtklp20:40
skabetasif: can't you use sudo?20:41
biopodHi all, a quick question, how can i remove dolphin from KDE4 7.10 ?20:42
KetrelI may have found a bug, but before I go to file it, could anyone else comment, none of the keyboard shortcuts under Miscellaneous (in the system settings), have any effect (Gutsy using KDE3)20:42
Odd-rationalebiopod: try in #kubuntu-kde420:42
biopodok, thanks20:43
asifskabet: i can. but i want to use root account to login once and do everything once. but chpasswd fails saying "timestamp too far in the future: Apr 20 23:25:34 2008"20:43
asifthis is so strange20:43
skabetasif: what about adding yourself to root group for a while being20:44
kde-develHi, I discovered a huge bug in KDE :D20:44
skabetasif: is chpasswd the same as passwd ?20:44
asifah...just a sec...lemme check20:44
PhilRodkde-devel: report it on bugs.kde.org20:45
skabetasif: sudo passwd root20:45
skabetasif: try that20:45
icewatermanEarthwings: ok, that was a really bad idea20:45
kde-develFor a moment ago my disk space for / went totally out, which mean 0 b free. That should not even be possible. anyway, when I restartaed computer and should login as usual. Guess what, KDE did not start because there was no space left. i hade to manually in temrinal mode delete files with rm, which I hope I never have to do again.20:46
asifsudo passwd root20:46
asifsudo: timestamp too far in the future: Apr 20 23:25:34 200820:46
asifthis is what happens20:46
asif???20:46
skabetno idea then :)20:46
Earthwingsasif: just use sudo su20:46
Earthwingsafterwards you're root20:46
kde-develPhilRod: I do not know how to do that. They always require so damn many details and everything.20:46
asifearthwings:20:47
Earthwingsasif: the root account is disabled in /etc/passwd, you have to edit it first to use it20:47
asifsudo passwd root20:47
asifsudo: timestamp too far in the future: Apr 20 23:25:34 200820:47
asifsame result20:47
asifis it a bug?20:47
Earthwingsicewaterman: maybe you can use gwenview or some other image viewer20:47
Earthwingsicewaterman: open the directory with the images, print and choose pdf a sprinter20:47
JoshOvkiasif: whats your BIOS time and date at?20:47
Earthwingsicewaterman: didn't try that though20:47
asifhow do i check it joshovki?20:47
PhilTrunkkde-devel: well, them's the breaks. If you want to report bugs, you have to provide details20:48
Earthwingsasif: 'sudo su' does give that warning?20:48
JoshOvkirestart, hit F1, Esc or Del   (what ever your bios require) and take a look in there. not sure if you can do it from command20:48
icewatermanEarthwings: but i did - doesnt work20:48
kde-develEarthwings, asif: Do you possibly know how to change from kdesu to kdesudo in kde trunk? Because when I am logged in to trunk I cannot enter for instance adept because kdesu does not accept kdesudo passwords for root.20:48
Earthwingsicewaterman: it only prints one image?20:48
PhilTrunkkde-devel: anyway, it's not that hard - go to bugs.kde.org, sign up for an account, then fill in the bug wizard20:48
asifyes earthwings..it gives exactly the same message as i quoted above20:48
icewatermanEarthwings: one works, multiple dont20:49
kde-develPhilTrunk: Okay, I guess20:49
Earthwingsasif: what does 'date' tell you?20:49

Earthwingsdylan_: hm, let me check myself20:53

Stepa1I need help installing Monkey Audio plugin to K3b and used instruction on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=380394 but it didnt work20:54
Earthwingsdylan_: wow, you're right. probably this bulletproof thing interfering20:54
Earthwingsicewaterman: the one in kde 3.5 has an option in the menu "create image gallery" or something20:54
dylan_Earthwings: Well, the new Xorg server is supposed to auto-configure everything for you, but it's doing a very poor job on my hardware.20:55
mweIIRC there used to be a "Look and feel->Splash screen" entry but it seems to be gone now?20:55
dylan_And while I love auto-configuration, I need to be able to fix things when the automagic doesn't work properly.20:55
icewatermanEarthwings: ok, i also can rule that out20:56
icewatermanlinux probably has no such tool or just one i need to read 100 pages manual in order to get a 50 line-size command to do what i want20:58
Earthwingsdylan_: you're right. and i'd like the old reconfigure feature back, too20:59
Earthwingsdylan_: but i guess the old entries should still be valid, no?21:00
dylan_Earthwings: Actually, they are not. I had saved my old xorg.conf file and it just ignores it.21:00
dylan_And the one that kubuntu created during installation is pretty bare bones. It's almost empty.21:00
LaruftI've installed the ubuntu. now considering switching to kubuntu - should I do a complete format/re-install ?  also considering updating to the heron ver.  Unfortunately i've not kept track of changes to my current ubuntu install :-(21:02
LaruftI suppose i could run a diff and see the changes.21:03
icewatermanLaruft: you can have kde on ubuntu, no need to install kubuntu again21:03
EarthwingsLaruft: i'd say that installing 'kubuntu-desktop' should give a pretty kubuntuish system21:03
Laruftand can I update to heron when it comes out without reinstalling?21:03
Laruftre-formatting even21:03
EarthwingsLaruft: yes21:04
icewatermanLaruft: of course21:04
dylan_Laruft: I concur with the advise given, but if you have little of value in your existing installation, starting from a clean kubuntu install will mean that you need to upgrade fewer packages.21:05
dylan_If I were you, i would wait until the final release of Hardy and install that.21:05
Larufti've set up a few things.  I am running ubuntu server+gnome desktop  have got webmin/squid/pureftpd/dnsmasq installed etc21:06
dylan_Laruft: Then, don't heed my advice21:06
Laruftwell I am a n00b at linux, trying to switch from winxp completely21:07
Laruftstill need to set up mail server/fetcmail?21:07

macojulie: it says it cant find encryption keys21:36
macojulie: but i know the key is in my gpg key list21:36
latitu_wh21:36
juliemaco: sorry I don't know how to use pgp..21:37
juliesomeone else might be able to help hang around21:37
macoevolution could find the key, but claimed it didnt match the person i'm sending to....i guess it's time to try thunderbird againb21:37
latitu_when i boot, kde is not auto started, i get a black screen. i login  in and type startx. why?21:37
Earthwingsmaco: gpg -K is fine?21:38
p_quarleslatitu_, do you have kdm installed?21:39
latitu_p_quarles yes.21:40
Earthwingsmaco: where are you trying to configure it? you need to setup each identiy (email adress)21:40
macoEarthwings: gpg -K? whats that do?21:40
p_quarleslatitu_, and it's set to start automatically? (ls /etc/rc2.d | grep kdm )21:41
Earthwingsmaco: that lists the gpg keys you configured, just to ensure that gpg itself works fine21:41
macoEarthwings: it just lists my keys. i want to encrypt a message for somebody else21:41
p_quarlesmaco, and you've signed their key already?21:42
maconormaly id use gedit and copy and paste, but i need to get the attachment to be encrypted too21:42
macop_quarles: no21:42
p_quarlesI'm no gpg expert, but don't you have to sign their key before you can make them a recipient?21:42
Earthwingsp_quarles: you need his public key, yes21:43
macop_quarles: that seems like it'd be silly...if every person that sent you anything signed your key, your key would be MASSIVE21:43
macoi have the public key21:43
macoso somewhere in kmail i have to link together his email address and his key, even though his email address is in his key?21:44
Earthwingsmaco: no21:44
Earthwingsmaco: you need to setup your own email adress for gpg, that's all21:44
macoi set it up for signing21:45
Earthwingsmaco: kmail -> configure -> identities -> choose your email adresss -> change -> cryptography -> open pgp key -> Change -> Choose21:45
macoit wont let me for encrypting21:45
macoencrypting an email for someone else shouldn't require my key though21:45
macojust theirs21:45

juliemy kde resolution is too hight.. kdm actually how do I fix this?21:49

p_quarlesmaco, gpg -r "recipient_identifier" --encrypt /path/to/file22:03
macop_quarles: what's recipient identifier? their key id?22:03
p_quarlesmaco, add the --armor argument if you want it in ascii instead of binary22:03
p_quarlesmaco, anything that's associated with their public key and is unique, so the key id would work22:03

p_quarlesubuntu, depends on what you mean by "work with"22:04
Pliskinyou can read and write but for the / partition, you have to use the EXT3 system22:04

p_quarlesmaco, well, the tutorial I read indicates you have to sign the recipients key before you can encrypt it for them22:06
Pliskinubuntu : why not ext3 (or reiserfs) ?22:06
ubuntuext3 for both will work?22:07

jparishyOkay, so my computer dualboots both kubuntu and osx, and recently i resized my harddrive and now i can't get kubuntu to boot (it doesn't show up in the menu when i hold option on startup). Now, i am currently in a kubuntu livecd. any suggestions on what to do to fix this?22:24
ManuPjparishy, pastebin /boot/grub/menu.list and the output of sudo fdisk -l22:25
EarthwingsXenThraL: depends on how you use the fonts in your software22:25
XenThraLopengl app22:25
ManuPjparishy, the bootloader is grup, or is it from osx??22:25
ManuPs/grup/grub22:25
XenThraLwill make textures out of the font, then use the textures22:26
jparishyi usually use the osx loader, and then when i select linux, it starts up grub and boots linux22:26
INIT_6Installed the new 8.04 kubuntu. I have a nvidia 7600gs video card. I installed the drivers using the "Hardware Drivers Manager" under system. Told it to use the driver. Still couldn't change the rez past 640x.  So I tried the nvidia-settings tool. Still no luck. I turned it off in hardware drivers manager. Installed the driver by hand using the driver from nvidia's website. still no luck. any suggestions?22:26
EarthwingsXenThraL: if you ship the gpl font as part of the program and the font does not have such an exception (see link), i'd say you cannot do that22:26
EarthwingsXenThraL: otherwise i don't know :)22:26
jparishyThis isn't the same computer, so give me a second to paste the above thins.22:26
jparishythings*22:26
XenThraLreally shady part of the GPL22:27
ManuPjparishy, and the osx-loader doesnt show grub or does grub show up but without the entry for kubuntu?22:27
XenThraLno one can tell me anything for sure22:27
jparishyIt doesn't show grub22:27
EarthwingsXenThraL: i'm afraid you have to pay a lawyer for that22:27
XenThraLI can't afford a font :p22:27
jparishyHm, something is wrong with the output of sudo fdisk -l22:27
coggz can i get a copy of xp tablet pc edition? an iso? i have a licence key22:28
Earthwingshehe22:28
ManuPjparishy, so it has to do sth. with the osx-bootloader. sorry. i can not help you with this.22:28
EarthwingsXenThraL: i'm sure there are some in the public domain or similar?22:28
XenThraLits hard to tell for sure when they are22:28
ManuPjparishy, what's wrong with the output?22:28
jparishyI'm thinking a fresh install of grub may help things, but I don't know how to do it. How would I reinstall it?22:29
jparishyWell22:29
ManuPjparishy, i can tell you that22:29
Earthwingsjparishy: what does fdisk -l say?22:29
