[00:00] tsb_, i can assure you, you're not going to get a performance increase choosing generic or 386 [00:01] Jucato: http://pastebin.com/d6dfc344a [00:02] Daisuke_Ido: isn't it compiled with optimalizations for the platform? I realize they do very little usually, however if one is theoretically better suited than the other and it costs me nothing to use it why not.. [00:02] did you make any changes to your hardware snikker? like plugging the cd drives into the primary ide channel? [00:03] tsb_, when you install, it selects the kernel best suited for your hardware [00:03] DarkestHour: no, any changes was made [00:03] Daisuke_Ido: I've been upgrading this thing for several years, I don't think I had the same hardware "back then" [00:04] * Daisuke_Ido shrugs [00:04] Daisuke_Ido: anyway I'll just go with generic, thanks. [00:04] you got an answer, generic's going to be your best bet [00:05] snikker, if possible could you shut the machine down and plug the cd drives into the secondary ide channel? [00:07] DarkestHour: in the secondary ide channel i've got an ide hard disk... [00:09] i've updated my system (7.10) on the friday and now i see a lot of "APIC error on CPU0: 00(40)" in dmesg since then. the first one showed up in /var/log/debug:Apr 18 18:49:04 right after the upgrade. thunderbird also hangs a lot. any ideas/info? [00:09] snikker: can you atleast switch one of the drives then? [00:11] DarkestHour: yes, i can [00:12] ok, lets give it a shot. [00:12] ok now i try... [00:13] Riddell: Sr, if I may interrupt you and have a brief talk about a bug that's annoying me, [00:14] Riddell, You will not find that intrusive, whould you? [00:14] tomaz: go on [00:14] For i'm unable to boot my system, as it hangs just after being installed and upgraded, after the reboot, [00:14] (the 8.04 version), not being able to find /sbin/init [00:15] tomaz: you've done an install from an RC CD? [00:15] yes, I did. [00:15] tomaz: i have the same problem on one of my servers [00:16] Well, nice to know that i'm not the only one, this means that's not my fault, And it's a real problem. [00:16] So, let's start lookin' for something to fix o_o' [00:16] Riddell: I'm your hands and eyes from now on, please use me as you ca. [00:16] can* [00:18] Riddell, tomaz: from what i've gathered it looks like a problem with SATA disks and grub/initrd being unable to find the root filesystem sometimes. i haven't had time though to look into yet [00:18] I don't have a SATA disk [00:18] I have a old' fluffy IDE Disk. === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [00:18] but maybe, just MAYBE, my dad changed the disk's IDE's. [00:19] tomaz: what motherboard do you have? [00:20] tomaz: not my area I'm afraid, you'd need to ask some linux people [00:20] an Asus A7V-something. [00:20] Riddell: Np, thanks for your time =) [00:20] tomaz: just looking for the motherboard invoice. one sec [00:27] i'm come back [00:27] tomaz: sorry but the writing on the invoice is unreadable [00:28] ScorpKing:, well, I had linux working here for about 3 years [00:28] but this never happened, so, yeah, i'm a bit (completely) lost [00:29] DarkestHour: i've unplugged the ide cable (with hd) and i can see the cd-rom driives (but i don't have the hd...) [00:29] tomaz: i also have weird problems after upgrading to the latest kernel. maybe going back to the old one will solve it [00:29] DarkestHour: and another thing happen... [00:29] now my mouse stopped working :( [00:30] it still moves but clicking doesn't work. [00:30] snikker: what else happened? [00:30] how do i downgrade a package in apt? [00:31] and the mouse is back :) [00:31] DarkestHour: at boot, the system (at filesystems check..) say that hd3 is not present (shure is not connected). and sho me only the console mode [00:32] DarkestHour: if i type exit than start tha GUI [00:32] DarkestHour: what's happen? [00:32] snikker: i'm not sure, but did you switch everything back now? [00:33] DarkestHour: now i'm with cd-romdrives connected on primary channel and hd drives on secondary channel unconnected... [00:34] DarkestHour: in this way the cd-roms are detected [00:34] well connect everything back the way it was and see if they will all detect now. [00:35] ok i can try... [00:42] DarkestHour: now i lost the disks,,, [00:42] DarkestHour: same error at boot [00:44] I will wait for the ... [00:44] final release [00:44] =/ [00:54] sera [00:55] gandaldf, english, please =p [00:58] uhm ok [00:58] sorry [01:05] I'm on a machine that doesn't have the restricted drivers manager listed. It's updated...can I run it via command line? [01:07] jdbugman: its in systemsettings->advanced [01:07] and yes, you can with "kdesudo restricted-manager-kde" [01:07] It's supposed to be, yes. [01:07] it's also jockey-kde [01:08] Ah...jockey got it. Thanks :) [01:08] oh... hardy [01:08] Yeah, sorry. Should've specified... [01:10] quick: how do i set a file association in kubuntu? (trying to use VLC as default movie player... ) [01:11] jimmy51: Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> File Associations [01:11] Jucato: that was nice and fast [01:11] !default [01:11] To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations" [01:13] thanks! [01:15] if i download the latest kubuntu 8.04 rc [01:15] will i be able to apt-get my way to the final version or will i have to do a fresh install? [01:15] that did it guys, thanks for the tip [01:16] mot, you can apt-get to the final [01:17] in fact, by the time final's released, you'll already have it [01:17] when does final come out? [01:17] this week something yea? [01:18] yep [01:18] what day? [01:19] the 24th [01:20] so thursday IIRC [01:20] !timeline [01:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about timeline - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:20] !hardy [01:20] 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 #ubuntu [01:20] there we go [01:24] folks: if anyone is still looking for ideas of what will be possible with KDE 4 and Plasma, check out this SoC project:http://code.google.com/soc/2008/kde/appinfo.html?csaid=F16B9339F86C1ABA [01:27] szakulec: Thanks. Sounds neat :) [01:28] szakulec: pimp. [01:35] Ok, next project... OpenGL works in VLC and Mplayer, but not Kaffeine [01:35] It falls back to auto, which leaves me with a blue block where my video's supposed to be. [01:36] jdbugman: any particular codec? [01:36] or is this system wide [01:36] divx in this case, but it affects several... [01:36] All I've tried [01:36] Hey, Im running Gutsy 32-bit and trying to get the ati.com drivers to work but after installing and aticonfig --initial i reboot and fglrxinfo says mesa. has anyone else run into this problem? [01:39] have you tried ogg vorbis jdbugman [01:39] vorbis is an audio codec [01:39] Isn't vorbis an audio codec? [01:39] theora is the Ogg video codec [01:39] * jdbugman goes to fine a theora [01:40] is there a bash-like shell in which a script can modify its parent's environment? [01:40] check the linux.com weekly videos [01:41] opps, you're right szakulec. [01:41] Admiral_Chicago: don't worry about it [01:42] Same thing. Blue rectangle. [01:43] you've set Kaffeine to opengl and it doesn't work? [01:44] Nope. Throws an error. :/ [01:44] anything somewhat informative? [01:46] "Can't init Video Driver 'opengl' - trying 'auto'...Q [01:46] So, no... [01:46] what [01:46] No details listed [01:47] is it an HD resolution video? [01:48] Video size doesn't seem to matter. This one was only 512x384... [01:49] I'm not really sure why VLC would work and not Kaffeine- but you could try running Kaffeine from the commandline and see what messages are printed [01:50] Tried it.. heh Nothing prints... [01:50] Let me try running xine by hand... [01:50] Or...not.. [01:51] * jdbugman grabs xine-console [01:52] That's...not what I want. [01:53] I'm guessing you'd prefer to watch in Kaffeine over the other players right? [01:54] cacaxine works. lol [01:54] cacaxine is pretty cool [01:54] Only because it's the default and changing all the file associations by hand sounds....annoying, at best. [01:54] it's a lot better than aaxine === pquarles is now known as p_quarles [01:57] it's not as bad as you'd think- but it does take more than 1 click [01:58] Ok...xine works fine. [01:58] So why isn't kaffeine-xine happy? [01:58] I'd say it was a colorspace issue, but since VLC works, I'm not really sure why [01:58] Ah, --verbose... of course. === misael is now known as misael_ [02:00] if you are interested in changing the default app for a video type, go to Kcontrol, KDE components, File associations, video, and then click on an extension and promote your choice to the top [02:02] Yes, but I'd have to do that for every video format... There's quite a few. [02:02] But I suppose that's better than it just not working. Thanks for the help! [02:05] folks anyone here managed java and flash on amd64? My kde4 broke my mozilla plugins stuff so now im lost [02:13] ubuntu forums are down? this is criminal. [02:13] lol, yeah [02:13] i know [02:13] im trying to figure out this fglrx issue [02:13] theres a page i wanna look at and cant :'( [02:14] i just upgraded my laptop to hardy, and need forums to get my wireless straightened out [02:15] by the way, hardy+firefox beta+flash = crap [02:16] really? i havent had one problem with the firefox beta and flash. [02:17] it's pretty hit n' miss [02:17] some people have horrible experiences with libflashsupport+Flash [02:17] I had a pain getting flish working... [02:17] flash* [02:17] Took me probably like 3 or 4 hours to get it working [02:18] which isn't fun [02:18] DarkestHour: i had no problems with FF beta and flash in gutsy, but i do in hardy [02:18] crimsun: can libflashsupport just be removed? [02:18] maybe a silly question [02:18] jmichaelx: sure. That's part of 192888. [02:19] hmm [02:19] if i install RC and keep it up to date, will there be any difference between that an the final version? [02:19] maybe config files? [02:19] jtmoney: nope, you'll have final [02:20] okay, then might as well :) [02:20] thanks [02:26] folks im trying to install firefox but I get the following error http://pastey.net/86225 [02:35] W0WBagg3r, let me guess, an accident with an irrational particle accelerator, a pair of rubber bands and a liquid lunch?

To install: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org".

[02:50] FYI if anyone else is having problems with them install the ati .run file directly and install via their istaller [02:50] NickPresta: kept trying over and over and couldnt get it off mesa. installed the .run and poof [02:50] so you mean install the ones from ati.com [02:50] yeah without making them into packages [02:51] this is with gutsy BTW [02:51] im in hardy [02:51] i heard they were a newer version in hardy [02:51] yeah i just uninstalled the restricted and installed the ati binary directly === Wasserstoff is now known as Hydrogen [02:52] that fixed it. I might have missed something with the restricted drivers somewhere but the auto was easy and seems to work properly [02:52] i heard if the binary one usually only work with ati HD cards, what you think [02:53] im on a x1950XTX [02:53] x1650 pro [02:53] youll want the same [02:53] the whole x1000 series [02:54] that is if your drivers arent working properly already [02:54] the propritay one is working and so is compiz, but if i reboot the driver is disabled and a white screen, because of compiz, i can fix the white screen [02:55] wait your fglrx driver is disabled? [02:56] yeah if i enabe compiz and shutdown or reboot, then my driver is disabled [02:56] are you on that comp right now? [02:56] no [02:56] kk [02:57] load back into x with your backup xorg.conf [02:57] do i have a backup [02:57] if you made yours it should have also made a backup [02:58] ok, how do i do that cuz im a n00b [02:58] -boggle- [02:58] hmm [02:58] can you get to a command prompt? [02:58] yeah im in the system [02:59] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:59] that will build you a new xorg.conf [03:00] should it start out and ask me what driver to use, cuz it starts out at use kernel frambuffer interface [03:02] its gonna walk you through a buncha stuff [03:02] put yes for that (i did) [03:02] folks I need help with java in swiftweasel [03:02] i otta just rip this ati card out and use the onboard nvida [03:02] this simply does not work ive tried all I got it installed on the machine but the browser simple refuses ti recognize this stuff ive lost 4 hours doing this [03:03] bah thats just giving in to the ati haters [03:03] its really easy you just gotta do er right [03:04] i dont understand if the driver is enable and i want to reboot and press ctrl alt backspace, i just get a blackscreen [03:04] you were back in x? [03:05] i thought you were stuck in a command prompt because x had compiz issues [03:05] i dont know [03:05] are there pretty colors and a gui or a blinking white command prompt [03:05] right now im in here [03:07] i mean before when the driver was enabled i reboot or shutdown its a blackscreen, and end up having to turn the power off manully, then when i boot into kubuntu my driver is disabled [03:09] well heres what you need to do (this is what i did) sudo apt-get remove linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) , sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx , make sure /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common doesnt have fglrx disabled , Download the binary from ati.com , install driver using sudo sh ./.run , sudo depmod -a , sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, aticonfig --initial, reboot [03:09] tiberius1701: the driver is unable to run in X, can't provide the required parameters . That's the best way i can put it. [03:11] or use the restricted driver in /system settings/ advanced/...it might work [03:11] im showing him how to install the ati.com one [03:11] ive never been fond of restricted drivers [03:12] just the name restricted sounds bad [03:12] i think it has somthing to do with compiz, compiz is disabled now but it seems when i reboot it enabled again, ie white screen, then i have to alt f2 kwin --replace [03:12] that really shouldnt happen [03:12] !fr [03:12] Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [03:12] well, if he's running a radeon card ...the restricted driver will provide 3D and DRI, if that's what he wants [03:12] what is the adress for undernet [03:13] google: undernet irc [03:13] google it [03:13] what [03:13] hi ppl [03:13] .server google: undernet irc [03:14] is broken [03:14] tiberius1701 did you do it like i said? or were there different steps to your install [03:14] http://www.undernet.org/ [03:15] because if i were getting this issue id uninstall compiz and all instances of ati and fglrx and start from scratch (less confusing) [03:15] what the reconfige stuff, i think i should have have my ati driver enable before i did that === xmd_ is now known as espe\n_zzz [03:15] -shrug- its just making your xorg [03:16] your drivers have no bearing on what can be in xorg.conf [03:16] just dont load the wrong ones :) [03:16] ok should it have composite disabled in xorg [03:16] from what i read yes [03:17] comcrapic [03:17] tiberius1701: if you've installed a proprietary driver , it must be uninstalled in order for another , hopefully workable one to replace it [03:18] whats a workable one [03:18] the one on ati.com [03:18] folks how do I install firefox 32 bits in ubuntu 64? [03:18] ati-driver-installer-8-4-x86.x86_64.run [03:18] uhmm one that will run in X without crashing [03:18] frederick theres a good how to on that lemme look [03:18] ok so uninstall this one and renstall ati.com one [03:19] Frederick: install ia32-libs [03:19] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435 [03:20] ive done it I got it installed [03:20] still I miss th package it self!

I was unable to fix this issues [03:38] that's better, thanks [03:39] PhilRod: ive been using linux for 5 years this is trivial somethign is broken and I need it working [03:39] and the docs are not correspondent with the actual status of the distro [03:39] !64 [03:39] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information. [03:40] Frederick: ok, let me see if it's working here [03:41] ? [03:41] PhilRod: I had this working in my machibne but updating to kde4 broke it [03:41] well, if it's not working here, I'm unlikely to be able to help you [03:42] can you suggest a site with a java applet on it for testing? [03:42] www.javatester.org [03:44] ok, cool, so I have it working here [03:44] so, basics: what does `which java` say?

[03:47] no borwser is working the plugin is not properly installed [03:48] Frederick: did you try installing sun-java6-jre and the sun-java6-plugin ? [03:49] and by allmeans java-common as well [03:49] Package sun-java6-plugin has no installation candidate [03:49] java-jre is isntalled [03:50] Firefox needs the -plugin package to work... but not available for 64-bit afaik [03:50] I hads it working once I know it is possible [03:51] kde4 yousay , Frederick ? [03:51] no the plugins [03:51] are you running kde4 tho ? [03:52] Jucato: that is why i have to install the firefox32 which disappeared, [03:52] BluesKaj: kde4 is too broken I came back to the 3 I havent uninstalled [03:53] ok, that shouldn't matter in your browser [03:53] well, my brain is going into hibernate mode ...sacktime for me [03:53] nite folks [03:55] Frederick: you've tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#head-6524a0c56845e40dccd32676dad42830325e5707 ?

[03:58] because the shape of the mouse cursor is pretty much set in stone at this point - have you ever used an app or game that had its own custom pointers? personally, i find it a bit uncomfortable [03:59] hello [04:00] i need help... my adept manager has locked up after an upgrade [04:00] answer ^ yes. but i disagree with the "set in stone" statement... try sudo killall kdm and just run X you get the X cursor that way [04:01] Agent_bob, by that i meant that most things use a standard cursor, similar if not identical proportions, vertical on the left, etc, etc === natasliah is now known as richardspirit [04:02] can anyone help me? [04:02] claydoh: differance in use of phrase "set in stone" thought you meant unchangable. my bad. [04:03] !aptfix | richardspirit [04:03] richardspirit: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [04:03] i have got to stop using one word and the ; cause that's my nick completion char...

I want to install linux on a computer, and want a bunch of specific packages to go on after [04:08] TeslaTony: shell maybe [04:08] just type thecomamnd on a .sh file [04:09] That could do it, although I've had issues with .sh files and sudo [04:09] TeslaTony apt can handle a large list of packages at one time, so you can make a list in one file and apt-get install `cat listfile` [04:10] i don't know how large. but at least a couple houndred. [04:11] Agent_bob: That certainly sounds promising. [04:11] it worked thx bot [04:11] It's be about one or two dozen packages, plus kubuntu-desktop (i'm installing using the ubuntu CD) [04:12] TeslaTony note the back ticks "`" that's a shell specific char, it causes what's inclosed therein to be executed first. === ubuntu is now known as FelipeFloripa [04:14] example: echo "ls" only says "ls" back at you. but, echo `ls` outputs the same as the ls command alone.

[06:57] donald_: don't repeat [06:57] !patience | donald_ [06:57] donald_: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [06:57] donald_: also, #ubuntu+1 for hardy questions [06:57] donald_: im not sure that you can do it in gui, but you can edit default depth directive in /etc/X11/xorg.conf directly [06:57] (you're trying to "downgrade" your color depth?) [06:57] yes I am [06:58] trying to downgrade from 32bit to 16bit color [06:58] donald_: change Defaultdepth 32 to Defaultdepth 16 in section screen then restart X [06:59] in /etc/X11/xorg.conf there is no default depth directive [06:59] donald_: you can add one then [07:00] donald_: can go in that section anywhere, but nice to put it on top of SubSection "Display" [07:00] Okay I need to be running Kate in Admin mode to edit this file [07:00] donald_: goto run and do kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:01] Okay what should I put in exactly? [07:01] Add, I mean [07:02] donald_: Defaultdepth 16 [07:02] Section "Device" [07:02] Identifier "Configured Video Device" [07:02] Defaultdepth 16 [07:02] EndSection [07:02] so that? [07:03] !pastebin > donald_ [07:03] yes that [07:03] thanks flaccid, let me save it and restart kubuntu [07:03] donald_: remember to backup your xorg.conf [07:03] cool [07:03] or at least know how to revert :) [07:04] do I have to restart Kubuntu completely? [07:04] no [07:04] just X [07:04] I dunno how to restart just X [07:04] lol [07:04] its in the dropdown at the login screen [07:04] after you logout [07:04] kk [07:04] thanks :) [07:04] np [07:12] tried to settup a proxy.... Opened ktorrent and walla..... ¨could not find usable proxy configuration script¨ anyone have a clue? === ubuntu is now known as doanld_ === doanld_ is now known as donald_ [07:12] what kind of proxy, will_? [07:12] i know I enable socks support ¨dante¨ [07:13] flaccid, and jucato, doing that screwed my kubuntu up, and when it starts up the graphics go all wacky and it won't even continue starting up, how to replace to old file with a new file or edit it from teh live cd? [07:13] used kcontrol to set it up automatically [07:14] i'm running ubuntu/gnome 7.10 .. i have ktorrent 2.2.5 (Using KDE 3.5.8) how would i upgrade to ktorrent 3.0? add the KDE4 repo's? [07:14] donald_: goto ctrl+alt+f2 and login and then do a pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf or copy the backup back to it. no need to use live cd [07:14] flaccid, it doesn't even get to the login screen before it fails to start [07:15] will_: #kde might be able to help if nobody can here [07:15] donald_: yes. you can still use a tty [07:15] so while kubuntu is starting up, push ctrl+alt+f2? [07:15] ok [07:15] there's no ktorrent channel though [07:16] I didnt make a backup like I should've [07:16] join #kde [07:16] donald_: no. once its started up. you should be able to do it now. [07:16] thanks everyone [07:18] hello === ubuntu is now known as donald_ [07:28] Hey I did what you said, and the TTY thing did come up and I typed what you said and it brung up this other black screen which I had no idea on how to control it [07:29] guten morgen kann mir wer helfen [07:29] ?

[07:31] If that's the correct directory/file [07:33] should I just reinstall Kubuntu 8.04 to fix the problem? [07:33] donald_: um.. hold on [07:33] yes, correct file. no, don't reinstall [07:33] is "Defaultdepth" the only line you changed? [07:33] yes [07:35] I'm in the LiveCD right now looking at the xorg.conf file [07:35] Jucato: you could just edit it in pico and press ctrl+x to save it [07:35] ok, boot normally into Kubuntu. you would get thrown into a text login prompt [07:35] Do you want me to paste the file into a pastebin? [07:35] just remove the line donald_ [07:35] I can't it won't let me save it [07:35] donald_: unless you want to go through the hassle of mounting your hard disk partition and making changes there, you're better off doing it directly [07:36] Then please, can you explain to me how to do it? [07:37] I've opened up the xorg.conf file in the LiveCD but it says I dont have permission to save it [07:37] donald_: you could just edit it in pico and press ctrl+x to save it [07:37] donald_: thats the xorg.conf on the livecd not your hard disk [07:37] which is why its read only as its on a cd [07:37] No, I went through the Storage Media, clicked on the drive/partition and went to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:38] Says 26GB Media [07:38] I clicked on that and navigated to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:38] maybe the mount options are wrong not sure [07:39] Okay, so how can I edit the xorg.conf file then either from LiveCD or some other place? [07:40] donald_: can you start it up without the gui? [07:40] donald_: boot normally... then instead of getting the graphical login, you will either get dumped into a text login prompt or a black screen with the Kubuntu logo, in which case you press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a text login prompt [07:40] I don't have the slightest idea of how to do that [07:41] then, once you logged in,use the command "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" to edit your xorg.conf [07:41] Okay, i'll try that [07:41] donald_: which is exactly where we got you before [07:42] Thanks guys, let me try it again [07:42] wait!! === nnnn is now known as asdfxzcxc [07:42] okay.. [07:42] lol [07:42] once you're done editing.. Ctrl+O to save and Ctrl+X to exit [07:43] then "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart" to try to get into the graphical login screen again [07:44] the kdm restart has a space in between it? [07:44] yep [07:44] okay thanks, gonna go try it [07:44] good luck [07:44] thanks =) === jerknextdoor_ is now known as jerknextdoor [07:48] Woooooooot its fixed! [07:48] nice [07:49] anyone know why i'm getting an error while checking for system updates? it can't verify a public key for wine. [07:50] jerknextdoor, you get used to that [07:50] it's not going to hurt anything [07:50] Daisuke: thanks. i just put wine on here the other day so i guess i just hadnt noticed. [07:51] hello [07:52] my problem is that when my notebook wakes up my laptop display stays shut. (i use xinerama, my 19" lcd goes awake). my network also stays suspended. any hints? [07:56] anyone just get an update for firefox 3b5? [08:05] hello [08:06] Can somebody tell me where Firefox installs itself to when you install it from Adept? [08:06] should be /usr/bin/, you can find out by using "which firefox" === ubuntu is now known as freq_fraq [08:08] I'm trying to important my bookmarks.html file from my Windows partition to the new firefox here, on this Kubuntu partition [08:09] import* [08:09] so that I have all my bookmarks [08:09] you can probably ask in #mozilla (or #firefox if that's the channel) but I think Firefox has a way to export bookmarks then import them elsewhere [08:10] Hello. I'm trying to install kubuntu from a live cd. the live cd loads OK (I'm currently using Konversation) and error checking says the cd has no errors, but when I'm clicking "install" a window opens, and closes after a few seconds. anyone has an idea? [08:17] freq_fraq: you could try the alternate cd [08:19] flaccid: I could, but it would take a while...I don't have a burner on this computer, and my access to one is limited (it will take me a week or so burn the alternate CD). I was hoping for a more immediate solution. (BTW, if instead of burning one can use disk-on-key it will be very helpfull. is it possible?) [08:23] freq_fraq: unfortunately you can't edit a cd [08:23] Daisuke_Ido: wow crashes all the time [08:23] it sux. any WoW people here? [08:24] flaccid: edit a cd? maybe we misunderstood one another. I have a USB flash drive (disk-on-key) of 2GB. I want to install kubuntu (or ubuntu, for that matter) from this drive, instead of a CD. is it possible? [08:25] yes [08:25] you can install from cd or usb drive [08:27] flaccid: great. where can I find instructions on how to do that === skiquel||applehy is now known as skiquel === jerknextdoor_ is now known as jerknextdoor [08:36] freq_fraq: on the wiki [08:37] freq_fraq: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [08:38] flaccid: thanks a lot, I'll read it. [08:39] no worries, i have one its pretty good ey [08:39] hello :) [08:39] * SilentDis is installing Kubuntu 8.04 RC, and was bored lol [08:40] any way to check to see a list of system updates? i just updated something for firefox and didn't pay attention and now firefox wont start. [08:41] jerknextdoor: firefox core just updated, yes. You could hop into adept and revert 1 version without issue probably [08:42] silentdis: did you do the update? if so are you having any problems? [08:43] jerknextdoor: I just updated it myself, without issue... did you try renaming your firefox folder? maybe a goofy plugin is doing it [08:45] jerknextdoor: ~/.mozilla/firefox/.default/extensions/* is where they hide. try just moving that folder to a new name [08:46] jerknextdoor: alernately, open up a term window, and type `firefox &` (no quotes) and see what errors pop up [08:47] SilentDis: i'm thinking something else might be going on. all this stuff is rnning kind of slow. [08:47] jerknextdoor: then try that last option. at least you'll get an error message we can work with :) [08:47] 6035 [08:47] how can I downgrade to firefox 2.0? 3.0 is simply a not-working browser for me [08:50] jerknextdoor: from what i can scry from that error and google, it looks like it's having problems reading a text file type database, probably from an extension or a bookmark or some such. try moving out your extensions dir and launch again [08:51] jerknextdoor: only other thing i can think of is if multiple copies are running in the background (quick `killall firefox-bin` should solve that though) [08:53] silentdis: nope. neither of them worked. the killall killed no processes. [08:54] jerknextdoor: just to be sure... see if anything firefox related is running: ps -A | grep -i firefox [08:54] silentdis: it tries to start. a black box comes up. and then you can see the google search box in the corner. but then it stops there. the logo in the tastkmanage is also just an X. [08:55] silentdis: nothing running. === janmalte__ is now known as JanMalte [08:55] jerknextdoor: you know, i've seen that... I *think* i solved that on mine by a quick restart of the x windows system. Probably something stuck somewhere. try a --. You'll loose chat (obviously) but i'll be here. 2hrs for kubuntu update lol [08:56] silentdis: that was the first thing i tried actually. i also restarted kubuntu once since then too. [08:57] silentdis: it will only take a few minutes to reinstall completely so i guess i'll just do that. [08:57] jerknextdoor: huh. only other thing i can think of is a quick reinstall of firefox. make sure you backup your bookmarks if you do that, though. [09:06] silentdis: i just reinstalled it. it started fine but i got a couple of weird things that popped up in terminal. [09:06] jerknextdoor: does it function? [09:07] silentdis: seems to just fine. and all of the stuff that popped in the command line was all gnome related so i suppose i'll see if it works the next time i boot into gnome (which is rare) [09:08] jerknextdoor: I see weird errors for virtually any app i run from term. usually debugging and such [09:09] silentdis: yeah, that's probably all it is. i didnt think of that. i don't run apps from the term that much. [09:10] jerknextdoor: I run kopete on my crappy little laptop off of my main box. you should see the term window fill up lol [09:10] haha [09:12] jerknextdoor: the latest one is "Very strange! got a DCOPReplyFailed opcode, but we were not waiting for a reply!" over and over... yet it all seems to be working just fine lol [09:12] silentdis: oh that's good. [09:14] go figure i took out my ati x1650 pro card and started using the onboard gforce 6150 graphics, compiz run perfect and even movies and games have better quality [09:14] tiberius1701: I switched to nvidia a while ago myself. way better linux support. i hear intel chips are really nice too [09:15] well i still got my amd im going keep that [09:16] he means intel video chips [09:16] tiberius1701: yeah, sorry 'bout that. Intel vid chipsets. [09:16] * SilentDis is an AMD64 user as well :) [09:16] strange thing is i know that ati card should be better than my onboard, but i guess ati just has crappy drivers or somthing [09:17] yes, very crappy. [09:17] anyone wanna buy an ati card [09:17] tiberius1701: they have said they'll be working on their driver and support for linux... but it hasn't happened yet. nvidia is usually about 1 or 2 versions behind the windows versions, but they work great [09:18] yea i can tell, i had hell with the ati and compiz [09:18] * SilentDis spins the cube while watching futurama and distro updates and 3 web browsers are open :D [09:19] sweet [09:20] the GF just got a brand new laptop. she was using my machine for a while. the laptop came with vista, but she hated it, gonna throw 8.04 on it when it finally releases :) [09:20] she's struggling and complaining about IE quite a bit, it's cute. lmao [09:21] IE sucks [09:22] oh and so does vista [09:22] yeah. it runs really slow on the machine too. which really is quite sad for how decent the machine is [09:22] silentdis: i used adept to uninstall firefox, but now i have multiple firefox folders and my icons aren't associated with the right one. any idea why adept wouldn't have removed the original one? [09:23] 2gb ram and a 2.4ghz processor should NOT take 5 min to come up. [09:23] 5 MINS [09:24] vistas a hog [09:24] yeah. that's what i said. on a damn laptop. [09:24] wasting 1/20 of your battery life on booting up is really a letdown lol [09:25] i wouldnt get rid of vista though, just incase there a good direct x10 game you wanna play, if it will even run [09:26] aye, we've made the backup disks, just in case ;) [09:26] good idea [09:27] she plays WoW, reads e-mail, and browses the web. kubuntu is more than she needs lol [09:28] hey anyone im trying to get wma on amarok [09:28] anyone know what library or something would help me out [09:28] silentdis: if you replied to my last question, my virtualbox crashed so i'm givin up that stuff for the night i believe before i throw my comp out the window. [09:28] hi, i'm currently using the kubuntu/hardy (amd64)livecd and want to give kde4 a try, how can i start kde4? [09:28] jerknextdoor: I'm unsure why it didn't remove 'em. [09:29] i think the main reason with help a os boot up faster would also be the hdd, some even do raid, but you got a laptop, so hardy im sure will boot up pretty good [09:29] nicknack: if you're on livecd, you need the livecd with KDE4 on it. not sure if it's out yet or not. [09:29] SilentDis: okay, i gonne have a look, tnx [09:29] dubby: I installed kubuntu-restricted-extras and many of my WMAs started working. medibuntu also helped out with a few more. if they're encrypted though... you're up a creek, i'm afraid [09:30] looks like i missed that: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-kde4/releases/8.04/rc/ [09:32] nicknack: yep, that's the one you need :) [09:32] hi all, newby here [09:32] nicknack: otherwise, you can install what you've got, and install kde4-core afterwords to get 'er going :) [09:32] kmorrissey: welcome to the revolution! :D [09:33] is this the place to ask for technical help!? [09:33] Hi SilentDis [09:33] kmorrissey: depends. if we don't have the answer, we can at least direct you where to go to get them :) [09:34] thank you! Is there a way of getting my old windows start key to work the K menu, I tried in keyboard shortcuts but it wont allow me to assign the key without another key with it [09:35] I noticed KDE-4 can do this [09:35] kmorrissey: the windows key is usually the key in kubuntu. should be able to just select it outright if i'm not mistaken [09:35] but I found it very unstable so I installed kubuntu 7.10 with KDE 3 [09:36] kmorrissey: http://docs.kde.org/kde3/en/kdebase/faq/panel.html#id2552742 [09:36] I tried that but it wont accept just the super key, it only works with another key i.e +s [09:37] SilentDis, kmorrissey: by default, you can only use modifier keys in tandem with normal keys. no pure modifier keys combo [09:37] hey [09:37] i finally got it working [09:37] Jucato: thanks. at least you got an answer kmorrissey :) [09:37] stupid monitor [09:37] me: grats and junk and stuff :D [09:37] yes thank you Jucato I am reading it now [09:37] does anyone ever have problems when you boot up your linux and stops working [09:38] the monitor [09:38] says 1280x something is the optinual mode [09:38] i found a way to get around it though [09:38] me: define 'stops working'. as in a blank screen? can you hit and get to a term at least? [09:38] yeah [09:38] it boot right [09:38] with the txt [09:38] then when it gets to gfx the screen goes black [09:39] and says 1260 or something is optimal [09:39] im using a lcd monitor [09:39] me: if you can get to a prompt (on one of your other terms) try reconfiguring your vid card. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [09:39] me: that'll take you through setting up the proper vid card, and proper resolution for your monitor [09:39] but i found a way around it. by resetting the computer with the monitor unpluged and then plug it back up when it gets to the log in screen [09:40] a new disturbution upgrade is avaliabe aswell should i upgrade ? [09:40] it wont give me the beta version will it coz i just uninstalled that coz it was rubbish for me [09:40] me: sounds like it hits a bad refresh rate and freaks out. what about just turning the monitor off/on? I would reconfigure xserver though [09:41] that doesn work [09:41] u have to have it off b4 the gfx start [09:41] then back on once they load [09:41] but onces im at the login screen its all good [09:41] should i upgrade my disturbution [09:41] or not ? [09:42] its asking me if i want to [09:42] me: try doing the reconfigure. it might just need a proper setup. [09:42] me: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [09:44] how are you today SilentDis ? [09:44] me: bored while i install kubuntu 8.04 RC :) [09:44] i just installed the beta [09:44] uninstalled [09:44] i mean [09:45] me: beta or RC? [09:45] beta [09:45] me: the RC was just released [09:45] yeah [09:45] i was going to upgrade to it from beta [09:45] but everyone said its to much trouble :( [09:46] another question if you please [09:47] My folders all open on single click, I cant find a setting to enable double click to open. [09:48] kmorrissey: the setting is in KMenu > System Settings > Window Behavior [09:50] thank you [09:50] yeppers :) [09:50] how do i find out what version of linux i have [09:51] !version | me [09:51] me: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [09:51] Ubuntu 7.10 [09:51] Release: 7.10 [09:51] Codename: gutsy [09:51] is that the latest [09:51] other then the beta and rc [09:51] me: yes, that's the latest released version. 8.04 will be out fully by the end of the month. the RC just came out [09:52] what it going to be like [09:52] same lol ? [09:52] !upgrade | me [09:52] me: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [09:52] i must be stuppid coz I cznt see any setting to enable double click in windows behaviour [09:52] me: the notes also have an overview of what's changed [09:56] SilentDis: out in 2 days... [09:56] DreadKnight: rockin' thanks :) [09:56] xD [09:57] kmorrissey: I'm not seeing the option either, not sure where that option is anymore lol [09:58] Oh well, I will have to let go of windblows! [09:59] kmorrissey: in kde 3.5; kmenu/system settings/mouse&keyboard/mouse/general tab/icons category/double click chekc box [09:59] kde3* [09:59] has anyone tried KDE 4 and found it unstable, I install the Beta of kunbuntu with KDE 4 and found it very unstable [09:59] thanks DreadKnight, it's been a while since i've needed that :) [09:59] kmorrissey: #kubuntu-kde4 for KDE 4 inquiries [09:59] thankyou dreadknight [09:59] kmorrissey: unstable and slugish and incomplete xD [09:59] np guys [10:00] i c [10:00] wait for kde 4.1 at least (ETA is for july i think) [10:00] oh i c differrent channel for different queries, sorry still new [10:01] I'd like to see KDE4. I'm impatient and grabbing 8.04 now lol [10:01] i've been using hardy for weeks [10:02] not much will change until 24th, just some bugfixes.. [10:02] DreadKnight: i figured as much. was gonna hop on the last beta, but never got around to it lol [10:03] :-) [10:03] so long as I can still run WoW, I'll be happy lmao [10:03] hehe [10:03] at least blizzards games work on linux [10:04] WoW [10:04] yep. and so long as SC2 works in linux, I'll continue to be happy. the vid of that one looks AWESOME lol [10:04] will theme hospital work ? [10:04] hehe [10:04] as long as doom 1 works on linux ill be happy [10:04] me: do you know if it's DirectX, OpenGL? [10:05] me: maybe, it needs opengl for graphics [10:05] its a old game [10:05] me: lmao natively for that one :D [10:05] remember theme park ? [10:05] Wine-Doors will port Direct-X to linux ;) [10:05] wine [10:05] as far as i can tell [10:05] i hope its got better last time i had linux installed [10:05] me: theme hospital then should work just fine via wine, or at the most cedega/wine-doors/etc [10:05] wine-doors is a..... branch of wine [10:05] i am unable to activate my belkin usb bluetooth dongle in hardy, can someone please help? [10:06] linux makes me a lil horny [10:06] me: TMI! [10:06] TMI ? [10:06] tzd: unplug it, then plug it back in, and type dmesg | tail. !pastebin it so we can see what's going on :) [10:06] me: Too Much Information [10:06] haha [10:06] xD [10:07] there is no spoon [10:07] i keep double clicking lol [10:07] why double click when you can single click? [10:07] i know [10:07] there is no going back when you get used to it [10:07] just need to get used to it [10:07] :-) [10:07] !java [10:07] To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) or earlier. [10:08] DreadKnight: there is no spoon... at taco bell. damn spork-lovers. :P [10:08] where about do u guys live ? [10:08] SilentDis: i'll take your word for that :D [10:08] me: at home, in front of the pc [10:08] me: kidding, Europe/Romania [10:08] 24/7 lol [10:09] ce faci, DreadKnight? [10:09] bine ^^ [10:09] SilentDis: http://pastebin.com/d66d03433 [10:09] hey how do i go through my isp as the mirror to download updates and software [10:09] me: I exist in the same plane of reality and time as you, and generally close to your general location, galactically speaking :D [10:09] DreadKnight: do you mind coming to #linguistics for a sec? [10:09] * DreadKnight has a feeling that someone will cone and write !offtopic xD [10:09] * SilentDis hides [10:10] Roey: ok i've joined, you should probably support #ubuntu-ro too :D [10:10] tzd: the last 2 lines are what we're looking for. Linux sees it, but has no idea what to do with it. so it assigns it... nothing, basically lol [10:11] DreadKnight: heh [10:13] brb. gonna scavenge for food. [10:13] SilentDis: ok, how do i reassign it? [10:13] tzd: you'll need to do some research. you *might* be able to get it to work by giving the kernel a new driver or the like. is there a model number on this thing? [10:14] tzd: when i find stuff like that, I usually search for "model number" linux and see what turns up. usually someone else has tried it before and got it working [10:15] SilentDis: ok, I'll have a look... it worked with gutsy but since my upgrade yesterday to hardy nothing. [10:15] SilentDis: thanks for your help [10:15] tzd: I can think of a few very unelegant hacks to force it (square peg, round hole, large hammer) methods... but i'd rather try to find you something that really works and works well lol [10:16] thanks for your help. cu [10:16] tzd: ahhh... if it worked in gutsy but not in hardy, i'm gonna bet on some little driver that needs to be activated, nothing more :) [10:16] SilentDis: yeah that's what I'm thinking too :) [10:18] SilentDis: found the info now after googling with the model no. Thanks :) I'll be back if that solution doesnt work ;) [10:18] tzd: rockin! glad you found it :) [10:18] tzd: some little modprobe? [10:19] SilentDis: yep, have to blacklist pegasus kernel... (i have no idea what that means but there are detailed instructions so shouldn't be too difficult) [10:20] How can I install freetype with BYTECODE interpreter and improvements for LCD display? [10:20] ultrav1olet: hmm... that's a new one on me! let me poke ubotu :) [10:20] !lcd [10:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about lcd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:20] !freetype [10:20] I can compile freetype manually but I'd like to know if there's an official way of doing that [10:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about freetype - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:20] !info freetype [10:20] Package freetype does not exist in gutsy [10:21] LOL [10:21] hmm.... [10:21] any other ideas? [10:21] it's called libfreetype6 [10:21] ultrav1olet: I can't poke around in adept right now, it's a bit busy lol [10:21] !info libfreetype6 [10:21] libfreetype6 (source: freetype): FreeType 2 font engine, shared library files. In component main, is optional. Version 2.3.5-1ubuntu4 (gutsy), package size 340 kB, installed size 640 kB [10:22] OK, and where can I fetch an unrestrestricted freetype? [10:22] !libfreetype [10:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about libfreetype - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:25] aargh, i can't stay up any longer. I guess i'll complete my install tomorrow lol [10:25] g'night all :) [10:31] On Gutsy, does anyone use guidance-power-manager AND have the python-sexy package installed AND NOT have guidance lockup when they bring up the main window? [10:34] I have a problem where my sound card stoped working after i installed a new kernel(through apt-get). Anything i should run for the sound card to be loaded again? [10:34] do I need anything besides libxine-extracodecs to play m3u files with amarok? [10:36] ! games [10:36] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [10:39] ! games [10:39] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [10:42] im updating my distro [10:42] its downloaded it and is now installing the upgrades [10:42] but has been on 0 percent for ages [10:42] is there anything i can do [10:43] hello, anyone who knows how to turn off composite/aiglx for an ati card with the opensource drivers? [10:44] doesnt seem to be anyone here [10:44] :( [10:46] xD [10:47] are u guys running mirc ? [10:47] I am [10:47] but I'm on Windows right now [10:48] oh [10:48] do you need help with it? [10:48] how do i add my iinet isp to the mirror list [10:48] so it downloads updates etc through my isp [10:48] so it doesnt go towards my monthly download quota [10:49] Hmm, I can't say I'm familiar with that. I've never had that sort of situation [10:49] hi folks [10:52] I've got a cifs share set up in /etc/fstab, but that's not mounted on booting. I presume that's because when the mounting is done, the network isn't up yet [10:53] is there any problem with doing a mount -a at the end of /etc/rc.local? [10:54] brb [10:58] I just need to get it out there that Almonds are extremely awesome. [11:02] walnuts are ok too! [11:03] Yes, but Almonds have more crunch, unless you mess up and forget to take the shell off. [11:05] hehe [11:07] Ketrel: i believet that with shell they would still have more crunch... but maybe this conversation should be taken to #kubuntu-offtopic ? [11:07] makdaknife: what if I said it was a kalmond? [11:08] :-) [11:12] what the... [11:12] I just upgraded a box to hardy and the network interface is gone [11:13] lspci doesn't list it anymore === johnsen is now known as skabet === akodemanik is now known as kodemaniak [11:49] crap [11:49] this system is really driving me nuts [11:52] kblin: what's up? [11:52] makdaknife: I did a dist-upgrade on three identical pcs [11:53] kblin: and one of them isn't working like the others? [11:53] makdaknife: two are working fine, the boss' computer doesn't recognize it's network card anymore [11:53] hey [11:53] hiya are there torrents available for 8.04 or do i have to wait another couple of days, just finished building a new machine and am itching to install :) [11:53] even if I boot the bloody kernel that feisty was using [11:53] when i reboot i always have to put the power cord out and then when its gone to the login screen put the power cord to my monitor back [11:54] where I did a network upgrade, mind you [11:54] kblin: hmmm doesn't sound good... [11:54] kblin: you have the same problem booting off the old kernel? [11:55] yes [11:55] network card doesn't show up in lspci [11:55] and it's on-board [11:55] it's enabled in the bios, I checked that [11:55] doesnt kubuntu play avi's ? [11:56] just booting a feisty livecd and checking from there [11:56] kblin: anything in dmesg [11:56] nothing with eth0 in it [11:56] kblin: hmmm sounds like a good start [11:56] it's like the driver isn't loading at all [11:56] kblin: do you know what module it should be loading? [11:56] which surprises the heck out of me, because it was working with the old kernel before [11:57] can i play avi movies ? [11:57] kblin: presuming that you can check that on the other machines [11:57] me_: sure [11:57] me_: try kaffeine [11:57] me_: or VLC [11:58] makdaknife: r8169, it seems [11:58] kblin: maybe do a sudo modprobe [11:58] makdaknife: it's a RTL8168b/8111b chipset [11:58] kblin: as clau30 says... try a modprobe [11:59] clau30, makdaknife: load, but doesn't change a thing [11:59] *loads [12:00] apparently kdm doesn't work properly with nvidia drivers in kubuntu hardy? [12:00] where can i get vlc from ? [12:00] it's not recognized on the livecd either :/ [12:00] I'm sure it used to work there [12:00] kblin: what does ifconfig show? [12:00] !info vlc [12:00] kblin: odd... it really does sound like the onboard card may be faulty [12:00] vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.6.release.c-0ubuntu5.1 (gutsy), package size 1135 kB, installed size 3228 kB [12:01] !info vlc [12:01] clau30: only lo0 [12:01] kblin: especially if you have two other machines working fine with the same card [12:01] clau30: dmesg doen't show anything new when I load the driver either [12:02] kblin: agree with makdaknife, sounds very strange [12:02] #cardholder #card #kanjibig p { margin:0; padding:0; font:100pt 'Hiragino Mincho Pro','ヒラギノ明朝 Pro W3','ＭＳ 明朝','ＭＳ Ｐ明朝', serif; } <--- Out of these fonts I do have ＭＳ 明朝 (MS Mincho), yet it still won't render correctly. Why? [12:02] and lsmod | grep ? kblin [12:02] kblin: I did see somewhone use `modprobe r1000` in a forum for the 8111b chipset... [12:02] clau30: it's loaded [12:03] In KWord it lists as MS Mincho, can I somehow link it to list as both MS Mincho and MS 明朝 [12:03] s/somewhone/someone/ [12:03] clau30: funny thing is that the card doesn't show up in lspci [12:03] kblin: then something is wrong with the card... or cable (try to unplug) [12:03] and maybe do a restart (you have done that probably :) [12:04] kblin: definitely sounds like a dodgy card... you will prolly save a lot of time just replacing it... nics are cheap after all [12:04] clau30: the cable seems fine. the card itself is happily blinking it's LEDs [12:04] makdaknife: onboard? [12:04] makdaknife: not that I care, the system is about a month old [12:04] kblin: you should have a couple of PCI slots available if the mobo is reasonable [12:05] kblin: hm, dunno what to say.. [12:05] makdaknife: dunno. I'm not going to void my warranty by opening it [12:06] makdaknife does how fast do you set your mouse cursor ? [12:06] my (software engineer) opinion is that the hardware is faulty and decided to break in the same moment I did my upgrade my coincidence [12:06] kblin: hmmm it definitely seems to be hardware related... if new kernel/old kernel/live cd and a comparison with two other functional machines using the same os and hardware [12:07] I just know the shop's going to complain because I blasted the windows they painstakingly installed there :) [12:07] but that's their problem [12:07] me_: I'm not sure what you are asking, can you rephrase? [12:07] if they want to install a windows there and prove me wrong, I'm all for that [12:08] kblin: sure.... just make sure home is backed up etc [12:08] makdaknife, clau30: thanks for the ideas, in any case [12:08] kblin: sorry couldn't be of more assistance [12:08] makdaknife: the system was about to go into production, nothing on there yet [12:08] kblin: yea me too :/ [12:09] makdaknife, clau30: ha, no sweat. having the reassurance that I didn't overlook something obvious is nice as well [12:11] hi - does flash work with ff3? (ff3 comes with hardy, no?) [12:11] When I run rdesktop, it fails. http://paste.ubuntu.com/7758/ Suggestions on how to fix it? [12:12] Bauldrick: i just upgraded to 8.04 RC, let me check out youtube :) [12:12] ta [12:13] Bauldrick: seems fine for me [12:13] Bauldrick: Chad Vader - Day Shift Manager seems to work just fine :D [12:14] thanks, upgrade it is then :) [12:14] fear chad vader. or he'll chuck fruit at you from 40 feet away :D [12:14] why they set ff3beta as the default browser eludes me... using beta software in a distro release is not a good idea... for one thing, half my extensions stopped working [12:15] it doesn't give a great impression to new users [12:15] makdaknife: I agree, suppose you can go back though [12:15] * makdaknife thinks maybe he should head over to #ubuntu+1 if he is going to gripe about hardy [12:16] makdaknife: I'm a konqueror user. only thing i was firing up the fox for anymore was a little youtube (seemed to handle some of the pages better is all) [12:16] SilentDis: I keep telling myself to make the change... but I love some of my extensions :-( [12:17] makdaknife: that's totally understandable. :) [12:17] SilentDis: konqi does rock though... and its much nicer to have a browser that integrates with the rest of your DE so well... especially wrt file management etc [12:18] makdaknife: yep, and one that actually is standard compliant and works... unlike some other 'integraded' browsers provided by other US-West-Coast based companies... ;) [12:19] what the... [12:19] I just booted without the cable being plugged in, and voila, there's eth0 [12:19] kblin: miracle? [12:19] * kblin goes to replace the cable, just in case [12:20] may linus be with you :D [12:21] and how do i change that silhuotte head on login screen?! i'd like a pic from about me to be there [12:22] Bauldrick: iirc, k-menu->system settings->login settings [12:22] Bauldrick: might be in the "advanced" menu [12:22] in any case system settings is a good place to start looking [12:23] how could I throttle my eth-traffic? [12:23] anything else than cbq? [12:24] take care all, i'm off to beddie bye :) [12:24] kblin: any answers? [12:25] why does it say break install ? [12:25] how do i make it install god damn it [12:25] drif: just out of curiosity: why would one like to throttle the eth-traffic? [12:25] ds187: for development, simulating slow connections. [12:26] ah, i see [12:26] what is eman [12:26] break install [12:26] That's one reason anyway. [12:26] im in apdept manager [12:26] and it tried to install vlc [12:26] ds187: also technique which applies to 'internet' traffic is welcome [12:26] and it say break install ? [12:26] wtf [12:27] drif: for throttling internet traffic just startup your edonkey client and wait for a few minutes ;-) [12:28] can someone answer me [12:28] ds187: eh.. I was hoping to achieve it _without_ any additional traffic :D so I can provide it for 'higher' purposes [12:29] drif: google just told me something about trickle: http://monkey.org/~marius/pages/?page=trickle [12:29] !ohmy | me_ [12:29] me_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [12:30] drif: or do you search something completly different [12:30] ds187: so you looked for bandwidth shaper? I was after throttling, bandwidth etc. and didn't come up with that page [12:30] ds187: hard to say - on first glimpse this could suite my purposes [12:31] adept_manager is not showing me an "open-ssl-dev" package. should it? I w [12:32] drif: i googled for "throttling bandwidth" which brought me to a wikipedia article about bandwidht throttling and there where some external links to bandwidth shapers :-) [12:32] ds187: ah, found the cbq on repositories - but only with shaper searchword, not with plain cbq [12:32] !info openssl-dev | dcorbin_work [12:32] dcorbin_work: Package openssl-dev does not exist in gutsy [12:33] gah, sorry dcorbin_work [12:33] ubotu: I'm running a configure command and it complains it cannot find my openSSL directory. I don't see any includes for it. Should they be there? [12:34] ds187: so thanks for nodging me into the right direction :D shaping was the word [12:35] !info openssl | dcorbin_work [12:35] drif: i have to thank you. now i know there are people out there who would throttle their bandwidth just because they can :-) [12:36] ds187: and wondershaper seems to be the easiest method [12:37] ds187: although I'm not sure if one needs also shaper and/or shaperd packages - managed to install in shaper,shaperd,wondershaper order [12:40] makdaknife: well, seems to be working now. man, if I hadn't seen this myself I'd tell the user off for being unable to use his system ;) [12:40] kblin: heh... I must admit I would not have a load of confidence with that at the moment [12:40] kblin: check this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/121815 [12:41] ds187: ehm, better stick with cbq I guess - wondershaper somehow made my ssh laggy - so I need to give prioritites over certain services and wondershaper ain't the tool === Tonio__ is now known as Tonio_ [12:41] er, just a sec, need to switch to a box where I have a gui [12:41] launchpad is a pain in elinks [12:45] makdaknife: looks different to what I'm seeing [12:45] Heya!

[13:01] Dr_willis: yeah. seams to make a difference [13:01] thx! [13:01] should everything be disabled there? [13:02] thats the kind of things i see in windioes that gets triggered onceya start playing a game and hit shift/ctrl a few timnes fast.. :) [13:02] such an annoying feature [13:02] ive never had an issue with it being enabled under kde by default.. when in doubt disable them all [13:02] Dr_willis: well. [13:03] kubuntu also somehow 'automaticly' enables them.. [13:03] I've been trying to debug my keyboard the whole morning, not understanding why it suddenly is 'sticky' [13:04] cant say that ive ever seen it on by default. but if you keep your /home seperate - it might of been somting i turned off ages and ages ago [13:04] =) [13:15] is there a way to make a konqueror servicemenu "send file with skype" (like in windows)?

I can't select which bt device to use to send, where I have 2 possible ones [13:31] hello [13:31] i really really need some help [13:31] im going insane [13:31] stupid lcd monitor [13:31] samsung peice of crap ! [13:32] me: stop, wait one minute, then rephrase your issue ;) [13:34] when i turn on the computer everything loads grub etc. then when it comes to the gfx the lcd screen goes blank. But sometimes if i pull out the power cord to the lcd when i turn it on then put it back when it loads to the login screen it sometimes works ! [13:34] says sometimes to not optimal reso [13:35] and when the lcd went on standby it didnt come back just blank ! [13:36] can anyone help me ?> [13:36] if its being told to use a res it cant handle it will do that. [13:36] I like my samsung 226bw [13:39] i have a samsung syncmaster 913v [13:39] but how can i change it [13:39] i love this kubuntu feel but if i am unable to fix this i will have to go to vista [13:40] are you using dvi or vga conector? [13:40] dvi ? [13:40] vga i think [13:40] and whats your video card. [13:40] 6600GT nvidia [13:40] if using VGA.. ick.. if you can use DVI then use DVI. [13:41] hi, is there a key to activate code-folding in kdevelop for the whole file instead of folding each function ? [13:41] what is dvi ? [13:41] how can i tell the diff [13:41] with my system and some nvidia cards. I could not set the res properly on the monitors to some ranges. Untill i installed the nvidia drivers. [13:41] vga = the old fashined ones you have seen for years. [13:41] dvi - different look/conectors [13:42] vga [13:42] its all i know [13:42] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVI [13:42] i got the nvidia driver installed [13:42] given how much better dvi looks then vga.. I would throw away the vga cables and use dvi if you possibially can. [13:43] i got the monitor working now....... with a trick i did but its really annoying pulling out the cord everytime i boot up and waiting for the login screen and sometimes that doesnt even work [13:43] you dont gain anything by using vga on mondern hardware that supports dvi. [13:43] it doesnt have a dvi cord plug [13:43] throw the lcd away ? lol [13:43] throw it at the FUCKING WINDOW [13:43] hahah [13:43] sorry ubot [13:43] I have gotten rid of all my old lcd's that dident support dvi. [13:44] i got this lcd for giving a friend a bottle of spirits [13:44] it is well worth the $$ to upgrade to a newer monitor that can handle dvi. The picture will look MUCh nicer. [13:44] im poor [13:44] i read gas metres [13:44] lol [13:44] plus DVI can send the proper info back to the video card. so you rarely have mode issues. [13:45] ive told this to several gamers at work and they dident belive me.. Untill they Finally got a dvi monitor... [13:45] Then they were like.. "i wished i had changed ages ago! i can read the little fonts now!'

[14:28] <---may be forced into investing in a stand alone graphics card [14:29] BluesKaj, what's the problem ? [14:29] gribouille: no 3D or DRI [14:29] gribouille: The Release Candidate is fairly safe to upgrade to, but you still may want to wait til after official is out (2 days is not that long to wait) [14:29] genii, what can happen in 2 days ? === silince is now known as natural_mind [14:30] BluesKaj, is it worse than gutsy ?

[15:44] it just says that if failed to erase [15:45] does erasing work for you guys? [15:45] it doesn't erase dvdrws , it just writes over the existing data [15:45] then why does it try to erase in the first place? [15:45] I haven't explicitly asked it to. [15:46] I just went to the make video dvd option and dragged some vob files and stuff to the video_ts folder and hit burn [15:46] my optical media being dvd-rw, k3b tries to preformat and fails to erase [15:47] If i'm doing it wrong, what's the proper way to do it?

[15:48] restricted [15:49] BluesKaj: no its not installed [15:49] should i install that package? [15:50] ok, you could try by unchecking "automatically erase " in configure k3b/advanced settings [15:51] but then, how would i erase if needed later? [15:51] it helps with codecs that unlawful stateside [15:51] oh [15:51] so is k3b unable to erase rw media without the restricted package? [15:52] Hi/Salut :D [15:52] darx,you can manually erase from the 'tools' tab [15:52] cool [15:53] i'll see how far this goes :) [15:53] no darx, but it may not burn unrecognized codecs [15:53] hence the restricted-extras [15:53] Someone can help me ? :p [15:54] !ask [15:54] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[15:57] dyn-fo: have you configured your network settings in the system settings?

[15:58] BluesKaj: No go,, it tries to preformat and then prompts that the erase failed [15:58] it does not appear that way the speaker Icon says "Mixer cannot be found" [15:59] I am sorry I am very new at this [15:59] hi, just installed kubuntu 7.10 and am trying to do the adept updater, but i get an error "could not commit changes" ?

[16:12] hi everyone [16:12] hey kmorrissey [16:13] I just installed compiz on kubuntu 7.10 it was working fine but now, none of the effects are working its like the 3d is switched off anyone no how I can enable 3d graphics [16:14] i lost the title bar in all the the windows just before this happened [16:14] kmorrissey: what graphics card do you have [16:14] nvidia [16:15] i am already using the propiertory drivers [16:15] in other distros I no there is a control panel to enable 3d graphics, but I cant seem to find simular in kubuntu [16:16] kmorrissey: have you restarted X or kubuntu since compiz crashed? [16:16] yes, no luck [16:16] are you using gutsy? [16:16] what does "glxinfo | grep -i Direct" say? [16:16] it didnt exactly crash it just switch off!!! [16:16] my mounted fs doesn't work as they should. The mount dirs are always taken for some reason? Need help please! [16:16] 7.10 [16:17] direct rendering = yes [16:19] when i try to scan something with my scanner i run into the following problem: 1) i can scan as long as i like if i do it page after page without too much time in between. 2) if i wait for 5 minutes the scanning app wont respond when i try to scan again. when i restart the app i can scan again [16:19] isnt the scanners fault because works on windows xp just fine. [16:19] kmorrissey: then go to #compiz-fusion [16:19] but i hate to start the application from time to time again. [16:20] tzd: so you're mounting a partition, and after a while, it becomes unmounted and you cannot access your files? [16:21] icewaterman: are you using kooka? [16:22] Roihclem: sometimes, but happens also with xsane [16:22] Roihclem: or gimp using xsane [16:23] Roihclem: i am using an usb scanner so i suspect its something usb-related though i experience this problem on several boards with entirely different chipsets [16:23] Roihclem: no, i can't mount a drive that should be mounted automatically according to my fstab. It's suppose to mount to /media/sdc1 but it wont mount automatically anymore. Instead it assigns itself a new name. It used to be /dev/sdc1 but now it's all of a sudden /dev/sdd1 [16:23] Roihclem: i even had the same problem on debian [16:24] icewaterman: sounds more like its a problem with the driver kubuntu is using for the scanner. I have no idea what so all about that though, so sorry I can't help :( [16:25] tzd: is it a removable drive? (a USB drive) [16:25] Roihclem: yes. I also have the same issue with an ipod shuffle [16:26] tzd: is the entry in fstab using the drive's uuid, or just /dev/foo? [16:27] Roihclem: /dev/... [16:28] Roihclem: i have a link to my fstab in pastebin if that helps? [16:28] tzd: You can try mounting by uuid rather than /dev/. I've had the same thing using usb drives [16:28] tzd: might do... link away [16:28] Roihclem: http://pastebin.com/d5a7650f9 [16:28] Roihclem: the thing is that it worked before [16:31] tzd: I had trouble because I was mounting different drives in different orders (with card readers and things). I'm not sure how kubuntu is meant to mount them, so I don't know if its not working or just normal behaviour [16:31] Roihclem: When you have many external storage devices, best to use UUID for mounting, then the system cannot confuse them, as with /dev names [16:32] genii: i see. So by entering the devices UUID in my fstab then i won't have messed up mount points? [16:32] genii: yeah, I figured that might be the case. It hasn't really been a problem for me though. [16:34] tzd: It won't think /dev/sdd which is a certain device one day depending on order you plugged in your devices is /dev/sde the next day for instance. The UUID doesn't alter, as the /dev names do [16:34] tzd: To find the UUIDs on your system, usually the command: blkid will tell you them [16:35] genii: i see. Then that's my issue :) Thanks for your help and thanks to Roihclem as well for helping :) [16:35] tzd: no worries :) [16:35] genii: is the cmd really: blkid ? nothing happens when i try that [16:36] genii: or you could just use halrules to make the mountpoints static.. [16:36] greetings [16:36] hello ! [16:37] good morning! === admin_ is now known as bleh [16:37] so kubuntu 8 is out now its no longer beta ? [16:37] o.O [16:37] can we recieve helpful tips about using kubuntu here [16:37] yeah i think we can [16:37] i have before her [16:37] e [16:38] ok great [16:38] mkultras: Kubuntu 8.04 hasn't been officially released yet. [16:38] i am new to the OS but i like what i see so far [16:38] very user friendly [16:38] i just put gnome on my kubuntu i couldnt get kde working for me just yet i'm not used to it [16:39] ah i see [16:39] tzd: If blkid does not give you UUID of your disks, try instead: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid [16:39] its just a release candidate rc so that means its testing still i gues [16:39] hydrogen: I'm not overly familiar with halrules (at least not yet:) ) [16:40] genii: that worked, although now i have all UUIDs but i don't know which one is which :/ [16:40] i had a problem with kubuntu 7.10 right out of the box with adept locking up after half of the updates installed and killing the grub menu [16:40] tzd: you can look in /etc/fstab to see which uuid goes to which mount point i think [16:41] found resolution in BUGs.kde.org [16:41] mkultras: it only covers 2 out of 8 UUIDs im afraid [16:41] oh i see [16:41] tzd: You can remove the drive, do ls /dev/disk/by-uuid, reinsert it, issue again the command and then you will know which it is [16:41] try blkid.tab instead then [16:41] i backup some files with rsync to a synology NAS.. [16:41] (the one which does not appear when drive is not in) [16:41] genii: simple as it gets, nice one! Sorry for not thinking that one out ;P [16:42] rsync will preserve the user/group perms.. but the synology NAS doesn't support this.. [16:42] i can't found the option from rsync to disable preserving group and user perms.. [16:42] any idea? [16:42] tzd: just do an "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid" then it should show you the disk-names [16:42] tzd: btw you have to run blkid as root..then it will nicely list the drives [16:42] any good programs for sync ing my wm device with kubuntu [16:43] guess not [16:43] tzd: You can alternately do: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid [16:43] genii: that's what i said :-) [16:43] thanks ds187 and flipstar... worked like a charm now :D [16:43] smlsteve: whats a wm windows media ? [16:44] ds187: Ah, didn't see it :) [16:44] :-) [16:44] is it a bad idea to mount /home on a separate fs in order to share it between kubuntu, ubuntustudio and possibly 64bit ubuntu? [16:52] hi again!!! [16:52] ok the only way I can get compiz to run is to use the command $compiz --replace [16:53] anyone no how I can make compiz work on startup [16:53] genii: almost done with my fstab but i have a question regarding the top 2 "defaulted" mounting points in there. One looks like this: proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 Is that really correct? [16:53] tzd: Yes [16:54] genii: ok cool. The other one that looks a bit strange is: UUID=8be5e179-d8e3-450c-b750-6573e4162930 ext3 nouser,defaults,errors=remount-ro,atime,noauto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 1 [16:54] scuse me ? [16:54] -? [16:54] hi [16:54] i'm french [16:54] genii: that other one is right underneath. It doesn't seem to have a mount point specified? [16:54] !fr | ubuntu [16:54] ubuntu: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [16:54] ubuntu: you're welcome to speak english in here, or else: [16:55] ^^ that ;) [16:55] tzd: It's (/proc) a dynamic directory which has info that is always changing [16:55] tzd: No mountpoint doesn't look right.

[20:57] spanther: because KDE3 was developed and tested for years.but kde4 is just born [20:57] spanther: if you really want to know what do i mean, go to kde.org's screenshots gallerry and compare 3.0 with 3.5 [20:57] yeah, I'll be waiting until it's matured a bit :( [20:57] my KDe doesnt look standard i looks well more shiny [20:58] kde.org doesnt have this design i have here [20:58] they have the original standard KDE3 design [20:58] spanther: yeah.kde3's default look is ugly [20:59] how to check theme [20:59] spanther: check theme of what? [20:59] themes installed where i can switch them and look which one is activated now :) [21:00] spanther: System Settings->Appearance [21:01] its marked as "Current Scheme" lol [21:01] so i still cant see which one it is by name :/ [21:02] ah window decoration is Crystal [21:02] 1.0.5 built march 11 2008 [21:03] its so pretty *-* [21:04] widget style is QtCurve [21:04] qtCurve rocks...

[21:20] wietse: sudo find / -iname '*.jpg' [21:20] is there anything i should watch out with when sharing /home/user between kubuntu/ubuntustudio and maybe 64bit us ? [21:20] I have tested the "Now listening" plugin for kopete... but it does not work... are there known problems? [21:21] sourcemaker_: you need to be running amarok [21:21] JackWinter: nope [21:21] nosrednaekim: yes... I have and the messages is shown in kopete... but my friends do not see the messages of my current playing tracks [21:21] thanks trappist [21:22] sourcemaker_: so you see the results of /media, but your freinds don't? [21:22] nosrednaekim: so just the occasional backup of dot files etc..? [21:22] are we allowed to ask for help with... hack... problems?

[21:29] i dont know why [21:32] <_ZeuZ_> !rt73 [21:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about rt73 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:34] will they ship kubuntu 8.04 final release with torrent too? because http would be overloaded at the first few days hehe [21:35] I'd imagine so [21:35] It'd be logical at least [21:35] yep and faster :) [21:35] Which equates to pure win :D [21:36] or killing the internet xD [21:36] stressed network hehe :) [21:36] Stressed networks are never fun [21:37] well internet for real is just a big network :) [21:37] Well it's actually an amalgamation of small networks [21:37] That's why we say internetwork ;) [21:37] international network *g* internet [21:38] It's not an international network as such, it's like the world's biggest cluster :P [21:38] none of these SL clients will run there's a file missing well okay any other good game with 3D then? :/ [21:38] OpenArena? RTCW:ET? [21:39] someting what can use 8800gt maybe? :) [21:39] Pong? :p [21:39] is there a quake wars demo? [21:39] lol @ pong xD [21:39] That I don't know, not a big gamer [21:39] Wee brother has it on windows but I doubt that counts [21:40] i wanted to leave windows as soon i can so i switched to nvidia today my card arrived and yeah i think very soon i'll reformat my harddrive for 8.04 :D [21:40] when its final *g* [21:41] Heh [21:41] I used to run a VM [21:41] And then decided a smaller hdd for linux would be cool [21:41] And finally moved over here for my tech work. I only use windows for Counter Strike now [21:41] wine still doesnt support it? xD [21:41] Yeah it does but the frame rate isn't fantastic [21:42] So I go native [21:42] i dont know when but once my ATI card really worked at linux :D then i used wine and this worked too lol but after a wine update it didnt work anymore.. [21:42] Weird [21:42] I feel kinda guilty, I'm on gnome atm but am in #kubuntu [21:43] but i really wanna get rid of these annoying phone calls for activation and "lets see what's your hardware" spy shit x.x [21:43] linux is stable these days so yeah [21:43] how can i install flash on kubuntu ? [21:43] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [21:43] christophoros: flash-plugin-nonfree :) [21:43] Ah missed a hyphon :p [21:43] xD [21:43] sudo apt-get install flash-plugin-nonfree [21:43] christophoros: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras takes care of this and more. Definitely recommend that as a first thing to do with a fresh install. [21:43] Ruairidh: no you got it right [21:44] flashplugin-nonfree [21:44] Oh cool, go me :D [21:44] thought flash and plugin would be two different words sorry then :) [21:44] karthikp any other tips to do on fresh intall ?:p [21:44] * Ruairidh hits spanther with a fish [21:44] :D [21:44] lool [21:45] for ubuntu is it ubuntu-restricted-extras then ? [21:45] I used to have a long list of things to do, mostly to get different formats to play etc. But kubuntu-restricted-extras is one awesome package. [21:45] May well be yeah [21:45] spanther: yes [21:45] Anyone fancy putting forward some music recommendations? [21:45] Also, you need to do one more thing to get DVDs to play... [21:45] Building dependency tree [21:45] Reading state information... Done [21:45] E: Couldn't find package kubuntu-restricted-extras [21:45] christophoros@christophoros-laptop:~$ [21:45] any ideas?. [21:45] 202mb downloading oh my.. lol :D [21:45] libdvdcss? [21:45] On Gutsy, does anyone use guidance-power-manager AND have the python-sexy package installed AND NOT have guidance lockup when they bring up the main window? [21:45] karthikp: sudo /usr/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [21:45] I believe it runs along the lines of sudo /usr/lib/doc/libdvdread3/install.sh or something. [21:46] Odd-rationale: bingo! [21:46] karthikp: let me double check... [21:46] http://planetquakewars.net/Download/Overview?fileId=3822 <-- for all who wanna play Quakewars demo at linux :) [21:46] sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [21:47] pretty close... [21:47] christophoros: KDE3 or KDE4? [21:47] Thanks spanther [21:47] Ruairidh: np just found a nice server with good speed and without registration hassle :) [21:47] also, assuming you installed libdvdread3 which kubuntu-restricted-extras usually puuls in... [21:47] i love to share hehe [21:47] KDE3 [21:48] KDE3.5.8 actualy ;p [21:48] Odd-rationale: That was the first step... [21:48] Sharing is awersome [21:48] so am i able to play HD-DVD or Blu-Ray with 8.04 ? [21:48] This is why the Open Source community rocks :D [21:48] Ruairidh: yup [21:48] All we need now is hot chicks willing to share ;) [21:48] <-- *ugly chick* lol [21:49] haha [21:49] * karthikp rolls eyes. [21:49] kathrikp ? [21:49] * Ketrel sobs silently :( [21:50] Ok so for some interesting discussion [21:50] christophoros: yeah? [21:50] Why is KDE > Gnome? [21:50] its KDE3 [21:50] Ketrel: whats up? :( [21:50] I know it's a bit of a volatile question but I feel kinda agnostic [21:50] is kubuntu 8.04 going to be LTS or is it just Ubuntu ? [21:50] !worksforme [21:50] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [21:50] I was just asking because you could also go ahead and pull in some extragear stuff for plasma if you were using KDE4... [21:50] acidBURN: no kubuntu will not be lts [21:50] acidBURN: ust Ubuntu [21:51] spanther, certain python packages cause guidance to lock up when I try to view the main part [21:51] why the command isnt working ? [21:51] ah.. wrong factoid [21:51] nutz [21:51] Building dependency tree [21:51] Reading state information... Done [21:51] E: Couldn't find package kubuntu-restricted-extras [21:51] christophoros@christophoros-laptop:~$ [21:51] Reckon I should go KDE? [21:51] Ruairidh: mostly because its far more configurable [21:51] True [21:51] Ketrel: aww ._. [21:51] christophoros: You might need to enable the universe repositories. [21:51] christophoros: try this "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install kubuntu-restricted-extras" [21:51] !offtopic [21:51] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [21:51] I just don't like the windows feeling of it [21:51] It's almost *too* friendly [21:52] Odd-rationale: any reason why? , since they are based on the same linux [21:52] Bleh since I like you lot I'll keep on KDE [21:52] I'd scoot over to /etc/apt/ and edit sources.list (sudo, please). [21:52] 1 sec, I'll leave GNOME [21:52] acidBURN: because of kde4 [21:52] using kde3 [21:52] acidBURN: kde3 will probably not be maintianed for another 2 years... [21:52] ok [21:52] Then, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" (for good measure). [21:53] well x/k/ubuntu really needs a virus scanner with realtime background scanning and shield process sure there arent that much viruses out yet but it would give me a much better feeling when theres a automatically updating helper in background :) [21:53] 3.5.9 is the last frontier of kde 3 series [21:53] Then, try installing kubuntu-restricted extras again. [21:53] The graphical way involves clicking with mice... [21:53] dam, we are caught in between...the movement [21:54] And I'm on KDE :D [21:55] Bleh just feels way too much like windows [21:55] hello folks [21:55] illusion: hi [21:55] hi [21:55] Ruairidh: make it feel different.. tis not hard :) [21:55] hello illusion [21:55] Im trying to install linuxmce on kubunti live [21:55] hey i love its near to windows :P [21:55] Mind recommending some ways? I'm a wee bit of a noob to KDE [21:56] but ill get an mysql error when installing it [21:56] does anybody know how I can fix it? [21:56] spanther: I've been suckled upon hardcore IOS CLI that will eat you if it isn't pleased [21:56] Ruairidh: do "ctrl+alt+f1" and it will really feel like Linux... [21:56] Shoves me into console only? [21:57] i hate shell <.< terminal is okay for some things but shell well... [21:57] Hehe [21:57] Well if you SSH in to do some server admin it's pretty sexy [21:57] Otherwise a GUI is welcome [21:58] Ruairidh: hard core kde control center can be run using "kcontrol" you can do anything in there, just mess around :) [21:58] ooooh [21:58] * Ruairidh plays [21:58] :D [21:58] i live in 2008 so GUI is needed :P [21:58] DOS is over [21:58] lol [21:58] Haha [21:58] Unless you work in internetworking [21:58] Ruairidh: and if you mess things up and can't put it back, then just remove your ~/.kde folder [21:59] Then if you can do it all via CLI then you get paid more [21:59] Odd-rationale: duly noted [21:59] does anybody knows a answer to my question?

Does anyone have some experiences with Test::Class combined with Class::Std? I'm experiencing difficulties. If I write very simple test suite (without actual class functionality) Test::Class works as is expected, but whenever I add use Class::Std statement to the code, i get following error when I try to run tests: Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at /usr/share/perl5/Test/Class.pm line 58. [23:57] oh, sorry, bad channel
