| sumant | sumant-laptop is my machine name...so type it ther/ | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Fujisan | how do i add a user in Konsole "and specify a password"? (sorry but i cant scroll up and my logging is disable , this text here scrolls too fast) "new addition" | 00:00 |
| sumant | flipstar: i mean during setup it said you will be identified on a network as sumant-laptop | 00:01 |
| flipstar | Fujisan: the adduser will ask for an password | 00:01 |
| Fujisan | doesnt work | 00:01 |
| sumant | flipstar: what in the right side | 00:01 |
| Fujisan | and isnt it useradd flipstar? | 00:02 |
| Fujisan | instead of adduser | 00:02 |
| macisp2000 | Ok, I got Kubuntu installed and then found KDE4 and installed it. Is there a easy way to also install Gnome? | 00:02 |
| Fujisan | i need an example | 00:02 |
| flipstar | Fujisan: useradd might also work but isn't for deban at all | 00:02 |
| jussio1 | macisp2000: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 00:02 |
| spiroo | Is it allright to ask for a computer related thingy? :P | 00:02 |
| flipstar | sumant: the right side as it is there | 00:02 |
| Fujisan | because i am not prompted to give a password when i use: useradd "username" | 00:02 |
| spiroo | I have a question about my CPU. | 00:03 |
| macisp2000 | thanks. Is there a way to use the add/remove programs like I did with KDE4? | 00:03 |
| jussio1 | spiroo: try in #kubuntu-offtopic | 00:03 |
| sumant | flipstar;yeah i pasted it as it is | 00:03 |
| spiroo | okay thanks | 00:03 |
| flipstar | sumant: good then save and run <sudo visudo -c> in a shell | 00:03 |
| sumant | flipstar :now? | 00:03 |
| jussio1 | macisp2000: yeah, install ubuntu-desktop from the adept installer | 00:03 |
| macisp2000 | ok, I was looking for gnome. | 00:03 |
| jussio1 | macisp2000: that installs gnome... | 00:04 |
| Fujisan | whats password when no password is specified in the commandline? | 00:04 |
| Fujisan | the* | 00:04 |
| flipstar | Fujisan: maybe you'll be asked at first login | 00:04 |
| sumant | flipstar: i enterd the passwrd, it says /etc/sudoers file parsed OK | 00:04 |
| SlimeyPete | Fujisan: adduser is better than useradd btw | 00:04 |
| macisp2000 | Last two things, I have emerald installed but have no themes, how to I add them, also, I can't get the hang of KDE themes from the website, is there some sort of one click install? | 00:04 |
| flipstar | sumant: great..then the next step | 00:05 |
| SlimeyPete | and it should ask you for the password when you create the user | 00:05 |
| Fujisan | it doesnt do that | 00:05 |
| Fujisan | SlimeyPete | 00:05 |
| Fujisan | it should yes | 00:05 |
| Fujisan | but it aint happening | 00:05 |
| SlimeyPete | useradd might not...it's less automatic than adduser | 00:05 |
| Fujisan | so a -p followed by "password" ? | 00:05 |
| Fujisan | i am just guessing here | 00:06 |
| flipstar | Fujisan: see man adduser :) | 00:06 |
| sumant | flipstar: kmenu>run command>wvdial | 00:06 |
| sumant | ?? | 00:06 |
| Fujisan | why cant i get an example | 00:06 |
| Fujisan | the man doesnt give me an example | 00:06 |
| flipstar | sumant: at command prompt means at a shell | 00:06 |
| Fujisan | just a bunch of explainations | 00:07 |
| flipstar | sumant: to see if there problems | 00:07 |
| Fujisan | not i am messing it up here adding a zillion users | 00:07 |
| Fujisan | please give me a password | 00:07 |
| sumant | i did open a new shell n typed wvdial | 00:07 |
| Fujisan | i mean gimme me an example | 00:07 |
| sumant | flilpstar : it says --- | 00:07 |
| Fujisan | is that hard to give someone an example | 00:07 |
| sumant | WvDial<*1>: WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56 | 00:07 |
| sumant | WvDial<Err>: Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory | 00:07 |

| sumant | sumant@sumant-laptop:~$ | 00:07 |
| SlimeyPete | Fujisan: "sudo adduser pete" would add the user pete and should ask you for your sudo password, then ask you a bunch of questions about the user, including their password. | 00:07 |
| flipstar | sumant: the modem is plugged in ? | 00:08 |
| Fujisan | i tried that already but i dont get to specify a password afterwards but the user is created and when i try to login i dont know which password to use | 00:08 |
| sumant | flipstar :the phone is displyaed in K info center --- | 00:08 |

| sumant | flipstar:its displyed under host controller @ | 00:09 |
| sumant | flipstar:2 | 00:09 |
| Fujisan | ok its working now thanks | 00:10 |
| sumant | flipstar:should i plug it in the other port? | 00:10 |
| SlimeyPete | Fujisan: :) | 00:10 |
| flipstar | sumant: run <ls /dev/ttyUSB0> in a shell .. | 00:11 |
| flipstar | Fujisan: what was the error ? | 00:11 |
| sumant | flipstar: i got this message--- ls: /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory | 00:12 |
| * NightBird ponders | 00:14 | |
| wesley | freq_table 5536 2 cpufreq_stats,cpufreq_ondemand does this mean these power saving are in use ? | 00:14 |
| flipstar | sumant: you probably need to replace "Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0" in "/etc/wvdial.conf" with something else | 00:14 |
| sumant | flipstar:i did install this .exe file thru wine....what does that do? | 00:14 |
| mefisto__ | flipstar, sumant: I think k/ubuntu lists usb devices differently, not as ttyUSB0 | 00:14 |
| Fujisan | can i get filelight through the repos? | 00:15 |
| flipstar | Fujisan: sure | 00:15 |
| mefisto__ | ls -i /dev/*usb* might give a clue | 00:15 |
| Fujisan | ok | 00:15 |
| Fujisan | ty | 00:15 |
| sumant | mefisto: thanks mate...so shold i run that in a shel to find out? | 00:15 |

| frapell | for some reason the bar in the bottom (where i have the K menu, applications, clock, etc) is not longer appearing... does anybody knows what should i execute to have it back ? | 00:19 |
| flipstar | sumant: i don't know could be any of them | 00:19 |
| Fujisan | any good alarmclocks for kde besides the kalarm one? | 00:19 |

| ProGzZz | hi | 00:19 |
| ProGzZz | I'm a new linux user | 00:19 |
| ProGzZz | :) | 00:19 |
| ProGzZz | I liked ubuntu | 00:20 |
| flipstar | frapell: plasma probably but ask in #kubuntu-kde4 | 00:20 |
| sumant | flipstar: tell me about wine | 00:20 |
| ProGzZz | it is nice | 00:20 |
| JoshOvki | ProGzZz: welcome | 00:20 |
| flipstar | sumant: whats with wine ? | 00:20 |
| thompa | i created a dvd project in k3b and save it, but its too large to burn, can i split it somehow? | 00:20 |
| ProGzZz | JoshOvki: thanks:) | 00:20 |
| sumant | flipstar: it helps running windows progs. right | 00:20 |
| frapell | flipstar: thanks | 00:20 |
| sumant | flipstar:or it helps with drivers too | 00:20 |
| flipstar | sumant: right | 00:20 |
| sumant | ? | 00:20 |
| flipstar | sumant: no..it given a faked win environment | 00:21 |
| Fujisan | does kerry beagle need to index files and if so do i have to specify this in the settings? | 00:21 |
| vmplanet | whats the command to upgrade kde 3.5 into 4.0 on kubuntu 8.04 | 00:21 |
| JoshOvki | ProGzZz: this is the support channel, #kubuntu-offtopic is the general chat | 00:21 |
| sumant | flipstar:so u cant run the drivers which i got on a cd, i mean the usb modem drivers | 00:21 |
| sumant | ? | 00:21 |
| ProGzZz | one question please! is there any way to play Generals on ubuntu ? | 00:21 |
| sumant | mefisto_: u there | 00:21 |
| ProGzZz | JoshOvki: I need help | 00:21 |
| minaqua | any way to play DVD movies? | 00:21 |
| TheGentleman | Why can't I upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 using the alternate CD? sudo /cdrom/cdromupgrade returns "command not found" though i can see that cdromupgrade is there on the CD | 00:21 |
| thompa | any k3b person here, its annoying that it allows you to put duel layer | 00:22 |
| Dragnslcr | TheGentleman- I had the same problem with the DVD | 00:22 |
| TheGentleman | and you could solve it Dragnslcr ? | 00:22 |
| ProGzZz | is there any way to play C&C Generals on ubuntu ? | 00:22 |
| Fujisan | is it possible to implement a ticketing support system for the chat i am feeling overwhelmed by the chaotic nature of this support infrastructure | 00:23 |
| sumant | flipstar:which os u use? | 00:23 |
| Dragnslcr | TheGentleman- only by doing a normal upgrade through Adept | 00:23 |
| Dragnslcr | I hated to suck up the servers' bandwidth when I didn't really need to | 00:23 |
| terrestre | !medibuntu > minaqua | 00:23 |
| sumant | flipstar:was thinking of downloading the new hardy heron, ubuntu this time... | 00:23 |
| thompa | i got 8G data to burn in k3b but only have single layer | 00:23 |
| sumant | flipstar: is ubuntu better than Kubuntu? | 00:23 |
| sumant | flipstar: i believe its more widely used than K... | 00:24 |
| TheGentleman | I agree Dragnslcr I just downloaded the alternate iso (in 30 mins via torrent) for that reason! | 00:24 |
| mefisto__ | thompa: are you trying to backup a dvd movie? | 00:24 |
| terrestre | !medibuntu > terrestre | 00:24 |
| JoshOvki | ProGzZz: i think its possible with wine | 00:24 |
| JoshOvki | !wine > ProGzZz | 00:25 |
| Dragnslcr | TheGentleman- yeah, I know. I downloaded the DVD anyway, just in case the upgrade went badly | 00:25 |
| minaqua | thX | 00:25 |
| Fujisan | amagawd | 00:25 |
| thompa | mefisto__: no i created a dvd project without realizing that it defaults to duel layer | 00:25 |
| Fujisan | anarchy is rampant here | 00:25 |
| ProGzZz | JoshOvki: thanks I'll try it | 00:25 |
| thompa | mefisto__:starting over will take forever | 00:25 |
| Fujisan | slipstream support into categories | 00:25 |
| Dragnslcr | Fujisan- welcome to IRC | 00:25 |
| |Toad | i have a simple question that hopefully has a simple answer. how do i do the 3d desktop switch? | 00:25 |
| thompa | mefisto__: file is saved as k3b project, | 00:26 |
| Fujisan | thanks | 00:26 |
| mefisto__ | thompa: it doesn't default to dual layer, it will adapt to whatever size the project is | 00:26 |
| Dragnslcr | Fujisan- if you think #kubuntu is bad, take a peek in #ubuntu sometime | 00:26 |
| vmplanet | what can i do to upgrade kde 3.5.9 to KDE 4? | 00:26 |
| Dragnslcr | vmplanet- what version of Kubuntu? | 00:26 |
| terrestre | minaqua, you can go to add/remove and install ubuntu-restricted-extras, medibuntu its for encripted dvd | 00:26 |
| thompa | mefisto__: well it allows up to 8G and if you dont watch it then you cant burn | 00:26 |
| vmplanet | Dragnslcr: its 8.04 | 00:27 |
| Fujisan | lol | 00:27 |
| thompa | mefisto__: before when i put dvd in i think k3b had the limit of my single layer dvd | 00:27 |
| Dragnslcr | vmplanet- I believe the package is kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 00:27 |
| thompa | mefisto__: is there a way to split the projecy in half | 00:27 |
| thompa | *project | 00:27 |
| Dragnslcr | vmplanet- should be pretty easy to find in Adept | 00:27 |
| TheGentleman | anyone knows how to upgrade 7.10 to 8.04 using the alternate CD ? it doesn't work following instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades/Kubuntu. | 00:28 |
| Fujisan | i just see all my questions being scrolled away i mean if a bot would assign a ticket to it so i didnt have to repaste it and someone could just pick it up at some random time and message it back to me that would be better than this chaotic randomness | 00:28 |
| thompa | mefisto__: it might as well be a bug, because you wont know how much space is left | 00:28 |
| Fujisan | a little structure can't be that bad plus you could built a nice archive for future references | 00:29 |
| thompa | guess i got to buy dual layer dvds, ive used k3b for years so this suks | 00:29 |
| vmplanet | thank you Dragnslcr! | 00:29 |
| Dragnslcr | Fujisan- I'm sure there are channel logs on someone's web site | 00:29 |
| mefisto__ | thompa: just create a new project (it will appear as a new tab) and move half the items into the new project. drag and drop files on the tab of the new project | 00:30 |
| Fujisan | lol | 00:30 |
| thompa | mefisto__: thanks, obvious , | 00:30 |
| Dragnslcr | Fujisan- if nobody answers your question after 10-15 minutes (or longer, if the channel is quiet), you can repeat it | 00:30 |
| Fujisan | ok | 00:30 |
| thompa | thompa: just slipped my mind i guess | 00:30 |
| Dragnslcr | Fujisan- you can also try asking in the forums | 00:30 |
| Fujisan | i found an app on kde-apps.org which is a kde version of ding named kding but it isnt in the repos so how do i download and install it? | 00:31 |
| thompa | thompa: :) | 00:31 |
| thompa | mefisto__: thanks | 00:31 |
| Dragnslcr | Fujisan- do they have a .deb that you can download? | 00:32 |
| flipstar | Fujisan: if it's a .deb download and click it | 00:32 |
| Fujisan | there is an .rpm | 00:32 |
| f00f | Fujisan: check if they have a deb package for it, if they do then just download that, if they don't you'll have to install dev packages and compile it. | 00:32 |
| Fujisan | on this site; | 00:32 |
| Fujisan | http://packman.links2linux.de/package/kding | 00:32 |
| flipstar | Fujisan: then convert it into .deb using alien | 00:32 |
| f00f | install alien, run alien on that rpm, and try that | 00:32 |
| Fujisan | alien is in the repos? | 00:32 |
| Fujisan | ok thanks | 00:32 |

| sumant | flipstar: am trying that then | 00:39 |
| flipstar | richard: sure..it should you installed via googleearth-package ? | 00:40 |
| sumant | flipstar: what do u think of ubuntu, is it the same or a bit tougher than Kubuntu, for a new linux user? | 00:40 |
| flipstar | its just a question of personal preferences | 00:41 |
| Fujisan | alien -d file [...] < --- is that the proper command to convert .rpm to .deb ? | 00:41 |
| richard | I just got it running must not have had all the software loaded that I needed. Tried it earlier and it would work. It does now. Thanks for the responses. . . . | 00:41 |

| sumant | flipstar: cool, i too want to use only linux, but just bcos of some programs that i need at work, n the slow modem | 00:47 |
| Walzmyn | Good Lord - I've not been following this conversation - but this laptop came with Vista. Lets just say that Kubuntu was a BIG upgrade | 00:47 |
| sumant | flipstar: have to stick to ms win, linux is way safer than windows i believe | 00:47 |
| chris32882 | yah vista is memory hog | 00:48 |
| Walzmyn | not just memory - nothing worked. I couldn't do anything. | 00:48 |

| spaz | anyway | 00:53 |
| flipstar | sumant: no, irc and instant messaging are two different things | 00:53 |
| spaz | the problem is that it hangs on boot | 00:53 |
| trident523 | !ask | spaz | 00:53 |
| ubotu | spaz: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 00:53 |
| spaz | -_- | 00:53 |
| trident523 | Am I a bot? | 00:53 |
| spaz | !stop-using-the-bot-:P | 00:53 |
| flipstar | eatatjoes2: vmware is not in the repo's you got to grab it from the website | 00:53 |
| spaz | anyway | 00:53 |
| wesley | how do i get cpufreq_powersave on | 00:53 |
| eatatjoes2 | i was wondering if anyone knew how to install vmware? | 00:54 |
| spaz | it hangs on boot, right after saying "Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20" | 00:54 |
| trident523 | !virturalbox | eatatjoes2 | 00:54 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about virturalbox - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:54 |
| trident523 | ... whoops. | 00:54 |
| spaz | haha | 00:54 |
| mefisto__ | isn't the package vmware-server ?? | 00:54 |
| trident523 | !VirtualBox | eatatjoes2 | 00:54 |
| ubotu | eatatjoes2: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available in !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 00:54 |
| eatatjoes2 | i tried that | 00:54 |
| chris32882 | trident523: is there something else I can use to to find the other computer? | 00:54 |
| trident523 | Oh. | 00:54 |
| flipstar | !find vmware-server | 00:55 |
| ubotu | No packages matching 'vmware-server' could be found | 00:55 |
| trident523 | eatatjoes2: Well, you can install vmware, but I tried it once, and I nothing that exciting happned. | 00:55 |
| eatatjoes2 | is virtualbox better than vmware for running xp? | 00:55 |
| macisp2000 | anyone know why my compiz manager is not showing the icons next to each checkmark box settings? | 00:55 |
| trident523 | eatatjoes2: I think so, but I haven't tried it yet. | 00:55 |
| spaz | oh yay. i got stuck in busybox. | 00:56 |
| nosrednaekim | eatatjoes2: its simpler to set up, yes | 00:56 |
| wesley | how set i cpufreq_powersave on ? | 00:56 |
| chris32882 | hmm | 00:56 |
| trident523 | spaz: something didn't boot correctly aparrently. | 00:56 |
| eatatjoes2 | Couldn't find package vmware-server | 00:56 |
| eatatjoes2 | is the error i get | 00:56 |
| spaz | trident523, apparently :\ | 00:56 |
| flipstar | eatatjoes2: use kvm if you need to run vmware images | 00:57 |
| xenol | can anyone tell me how can i make xorg to start up at boot? i started with minimal cd :> | 00:58 |
| wesley | !talking against stones | 00:58 |
| minaqua | the only prob I have had is that when I try to use the proprietary video driver my system gets sOoOoOoOoO slow | 00:58 |
| TheGentleman | anyone knows how to upgrade 7.10 to 8.04 using the alternate CD ? it doesn't work following instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades/Kubuntu. | 00:58 |
| trident523 | minaqua: What kind of graphics hard do you have? | 00:58 |
| minaqua | anyone know how 2 fiX? | 00:58 |
| nosrednaekim | TheGentleman: what you do is boot up 7.10, then pop in the alternate | 00:58 |
| minaqua | nVidia | 00:59 |
| trident523 | TheGentleman: Where does it hang? | 00:59 |
| spaz | ugh | 00:59 |
| spaz | >< | 00:59 |
| TheGentleman | nosrednaekim, and trident523 : it simply says cdromupgrade: command not found | 00:59 |
| teddy_ | hello. I have a question about compiling a custom kernel. dont know if this is really the place to ask though | 01:00 |
| flipstar | wesley: running powernowd .. ? | 01:00 |
| spaz | ugh | 01:00 |
| spaz | :( | 01:00 |
| Dragnslcr | I had the same problem using the DVD | 01:00 |
| * spaz headdesks | 01:00 | |
| crimsun | teddy_: see man make-kpkg, which means you need the 'kernel-package' package installed. | 01:00 |
| teddy_ | does anyone know what "proccessor family" an amd sempron 3000+ is? | 01:00 |
| teddy_ | i know that i just meant an option in the menuconfig | 01:00 |
| wesley | flipstar how ? | 01:01 |
| trident523 | TheGentleman: So, you've burned the alt-cd, correct? Well, if you add it as a repository (if I remembered how to do that in adept) you can force an upgrade from that, I think. | 01:01 |
| flipstar | teddy_: why not using xconfgi .. ? | 01:01 |
| flipstar | *xconfig | 01:01 |
| trident523 | spaz: my desk would break if I headesked it. | 01:01 |
| teddy_ | well i actually found the menuconfig easier | 01:01 |
| flipstar | teddy_: okay but there it is described | 01:01 |
| TheGentleman | that's an idea trident523 Still, there is poor quality information on the website | 01:02 |
| flipstar | wesley: go to services and start..? | 01:02 |
| trident523 | TheGentleman: Let me boot into KDE to try to follow the directions through-ish... and to see where the add CD as repo thing is. | 01:02 |
| thompa | k3b is a little tricky at first for 2 single layer dvds | 01:02 |
| thompa | for new user ie | 01:02 |
| TheGentleman | thanks trident no need to do that: | 01:03 |
| spaz | yay i fixed it | 01:03 |
| TheGentleman | i think i can manage it myself. thanks for thinking a simle solution | 01:03 |
| spaz | lol | 01:03 |
| spaz | i have no room to actually headdesk | 01:03 |
| thompa | mefisto__: it worked in k3b but you have to complete the first half of 8g first | 01:04 |
| ahmos | hi. i noticed in kubuntu gusty that when i click an icon it animates (zoom in).which programme responsible of that animation? | 01:04 |
| spaz | not a program ahmos, it's part of the desktop | 01:04 |
| nosrednaekim | spaz: haha | 01:04 |
| spaz | brb | 01:04 |
| TheGentleman | thanks trident523 i apreciate your help, but i think i can manage it by myself now ;-) | 01:04 |
| thompa | mefisto__: its not obvious if you have a large file size more than dvd capacity | 01:04 |
| trident523 | TheGentleman: Kay... do this. open Adept.. really? m'kay. | 01:04 |
| nosrednaekim | ahmos: go into kcontrol->appearance->launch feedback I think | 01:04 |
| thompa | this is the best kde setup yet | 01:05 |
| teddy_ | found it out.. x config didnt work. i just had a suspicion to google k7 family :) | 01:05 |
| trident523 | thompa: Your computer? Kubuntu? Me? *please be me* | 01:05 |
| TheGentleman | yes trident523 and anyway i guess the problem is in some way related to how the cd is mounted | 01:05 |
| trident523 | TheGentleman: My CD pops up in Software sources as checkable... then follow the directions from there. | 01:05 |
| TheGentleman | ok thanks again trident523 ! :) | 01:06 |
| ahmos | ok thank u all..but does it something related to kwin or kicker? | 01:06 |
| trident523 | Oh, #kubuntu... does anyone know of a mac comp... eh plan B. | 01:06 |
| thompa | trident523: only problem is the walkman bug | 01:06 |

| GS3User | hi, i'm having some network troubles. i recently switched to using openDNS on my router, and now my kubuntu 7.10 box is not seen on my local network. it cannot successfully ping either the router, or my xp box, but it does have access to the internet. how do i fix this? | 01:28 |
| nosrednaekim | GS3User: you can't ping local IP's? | 01:28 |
| artint | troll alert troll alert troll alert | 01:29 |
| Makuseru | is there a simple way to remove KDE4 and install KDE3? | 01:29 |
| Dragnslcr | Makuseru- install kubuntu-desktop | 01:29 |
| GS3User | nosrednaekim: no, pinging 192.168.0.1 (my router) fails, as does 192.168.0.20 (my XP box). Also, my XP box cannot ping Kubuntu either | 01:29 |
| nosrednaekim | GS3User: wow... thats odd... what does your /etc/resolv.conf look like? | 01:30 |
| GS3User | nosrednaekim: kicks out a list of DNS servers | 01:30 |
| Makuseru | Dragnslcr: and how do i remove KDE4? | 01:30 |
| Dragnslcr | Makuseru- you don't have to, unless you really need the disk space | 01:31 |
| nosrednaekim | can you pastebin it? | 01:31 |
| eatatjoes2 | does anyone have a tutorial or something for install vmware on hardy? | 01:32 |
| nosrednaekim | !vmware | 01:32 |
| ubotu | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 01:32 |
| GS3User | nosrednaekim: http://pastebin.com/mb88b6cd | 01:32 |
| eatatjoes2 | what about vmware server | 01:33 |
| NDPTAL85 | Does Kubuntu have issues with HDs say 6GB large? | 01:33 |
| nosrednaekim | GS3User: my resolv.conf actuallyhas its first line as "search lan" | 01:34 |
| artint | t r o l l a l e r t ! | 01:34 |
| nosrednaekim | GS3User: maybe thats significant? | 01:34 |
| nosrednaekim | NDPTAL85: for installation? | 01:34 |
| GS3User | nosrednaekim: should i edit it? | 01:34 |
| NDPTAL85 | nosrednaekim: I'm able to install but it won't boot | 01:34 |
| Dragnslcr | NDPTAL85- that should be enough space if you just need a web browser and Kopete | 01:34 |
| NDPTAL85 | Then I don't know whats going on. | 01:35 |
| NDPTAL85 | This is so strange | 01:35 |
| NDPTAL85 | I've put the drive in another computer and am re-installing Kubuntu to see if it'll work there | 01:35 |
| artint | t R o L l A l E r T | 01:36 |
| NDPTAL85 | artint: Why do you keep doing that? Who is the troll? | 01:36 |
| nosrednaekim | GS3User: yeah... why not :) | 01:36 |
| MilitantPotato | Hey all, has anyone had a problem shutting down/restarting? Xserver seems to lockup after closing applications | 01:36 |
| nosrednaekim | NDPTAL85: he is.. duh :P | 01:36 |
| MilitantPotato | using sudo shutdown -r now works fine though. | 01:36 |
| nosrednaekim | MilitantPotato: do you have an ATI | 01:37 |
| GS3User | nosrednaekim: without the quotes, right? | 01:37 |
| MilitantPotato | yes, with the 8.4 fglrx | 01:37 |
| nosrednaekim | GS3User: yes | 01:37 |
| nosrednaekim | MilitantPotato: yep.. annoying isn't it? | 01:37 |
| MilitantPotato | nosrednaekim: is this a hardy problem? | 01:37 |
| nosrednaekim | MilitantPotato: its a fglrx problem | 01:37 |
| MilitantPotato | Odd, worked in feisty. Bummer | 01:37 |
| GS3User | nosrednaekim: still getting the same error when I ping my router | 01:38 |
| nosrednaekim | GS3User: you have to restart networking | 01:38 |
| nosrednaekim | after editing that file | 01:38 |
| artint | thank god that troll is gone | 01:38 |
| artint | he was flooding me | 01:38 |
| GS3User | nosrednaekim: is there an easy way to do that? | 01:38 |
| MilitantPotato | sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart GS3User | 01:38 |
| nosrednaekim | MilitantPotato: yeah.... some other guy and I spent a long time trying to figure out how to circumvent it....nothing | 01:39 |
| navetz | can someone here help me set up postfix? | 01:39 |
| MilitantPotato | nosrednaekim: could I make some sort of shortcut on the desktop to run sudo shutdown -r now? | 01:39 |
| GS3User | nosrednaekim: restarting networking didn't help either | 01:39 |
| nosrednaekim | without the GS3User of course :) | 01:39 |
| GS3User | nosrednaekim: of course | 01:39 |
| nosrednaekim | MilitantPotato: make it "kdesudo" so that you get a nice password dialog | 01:40 |
| MilitantPotato | nosrednaekim: will do, easier then ctrl+alt+f1 | 01:40 |
| MilitantPotato | nosrednaekim: do I need " of some sort? | 01:40 |
| nosrednaekim | no | 01:40 |
| nosrednaekim | oh... yeah | 01:40 |
| nosrednaekim | kdesudo "command" | 01:41 |
| GS3User | nosrednaekim: any other ideas? | 01:41 |
| nosrednaekim | GS3User: no <_< | 01:41 |
| MilitantPotato | kdesudo "blah -r now" | 01:41 |
| MilitantPotato | ? | 01:41 |
| nosrednaekim | yeah | 01:42 |
| MilitantPotato | hmm, where are Icon themes stored? | 01:43 |
| nosrednaekim | the ocns should be in /usr/share/pixmaps | 01:44 |
| GS3User | anyone else familiar with troubleshooting kubuntu's networking? | 01:46 |

| chris32882 | havingt a problem with it too | 01:47 |
| chris32882 | using samba trying to find my xp computer | 01:47 |
| GS3User | chris32822: kubuntu can't even ping my router (but xp can). neither computer sees the other, but both have access to the 'net | 01:47 |
| nosrednaekim | GS3User: hmmmm try something. add your router as a nameserver | 01:48 |
| === santiago_ is now known as santiago-ve | ||
| GS3User | nosrednaekim: nope, still says "Destination port unreachable" when I try and ping | 01:49 |
| nosrednaekim | woah... never seent hat error before | 01:49 |
| santiago-ve | which error? | 01:50 |
| GS3User | "destination port unreachable" when trying to ping my router | 01:50 |
| nosrednaekim | GS3User: might want to google that error | 01:50 |
| chris32882 | hmm | 01:51 |
| santiago-ve | GS3User: did you disabled pings from inside the lan? | 01:52 |
| santiago-ve | my router has that sexy option | 01:52 |
| GS3User | santiago-ve: my XP box can ping the router without issue | 01:52 |
| santiago-ve | ok, that's weird then | 01:53 |

| GS3User | santiago-ve: yeah | 01:53 |

| chris32882 | I am unable to view webcam in kopete, where can I get jasper image converter..says I need it | 01:57 |
| Taladan | chris32882: try sudo apt-get install libjasper-runtime | 01:59 |
| chris32882 | ty Taladan | 02:00 |
| * Taladan nods | 02:00 | |
| chris32882 | I was trying jasper that didn't work | 02:00 |
| santiago-ve | GS3User: and that0s the machine youre connected from? | 02:00 |
| Taladan | chris32882: something that will help you in the future: apt-cache search <string> | 02:00 |
| Taladan | too late... | 02:01 |
| GS3User | santiago-ve: i am currently on the machine that's having problems, yes | 02:01 |
| shree_ | anyone in there who knows how to perform voice chat in kubuntu using gmail id | 02:03 |
| nosrednaekim | shree_: you can't currently | 02:04 |
| nosrednaekim | shree_: yell at google for that :) | 02:04 |
| MilitantPotato | google is probably working on it | 02:04 |
| shree_ | nosrednaekim: is it possible to install the gnome apps in kde like ladnell, ereseva | 02:04 |
| nosrednaekim | oh eys | 02:04 |
| nosrednaekim | *yes | 02:04 |
| sponix | ... kde4 ... say I want to install "kubuntu-desktop" from my normal ubuntu-desktop install, but with kde4, is there an easy way to go about that ? | 02:05 |
| MilitantPotato | kde4-base IIRC | 02:05 |
| nosrednaekim | yeah... kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 02:05 |
| MilitantPotato | ah, nvm | 02:06 |
| MilitantPotato | I'm holding out for 4.1 | 02:06 |
| Taladan | hm, I though tit was kde4-core | 02:06 |
| shree_ | nosrednaekim: do you know any reason why the apps are gnome based but not kde based | 02:06 |
| nosrednaekim | shree_: some pogrammers prefer different toolkits | 02:06 |
| nosrednaekim | "gnome based" are written in gtk, KDE based are written in Qt | 02:07 |
| shree_ | nosrednaekim: has there been any positive resposne from people who have tried to install ladnell, ereseva etc on kde | 02:07 |
| nosrednaekim | if its in the repositories, it will work in ANY desktop manager | 02:07 |
| MilitantPotato | the memory leak I had in gutsy seems to be gone, thankfully | 02:08 |
| shree_ | nosrednaekim: as in when i try sudo apt-get, it doesnt recognize those app names | 02:08 |
| GS3User | how do i edit my kernel ip routing table? | 02:08 |
| nosrednaekim | shree_: where are you looking at getting them from then? | 02:09 |
| Taladan | shree_: try apt-cache search <package> | 02:09 |
| nosrednaekim | GS3User: "man route" | 02:09 |
| MilitantPotato | shree_: open synaptic? | 02:09 |
| Taladan | shree_: it'll get the correct package name for you | 02:09 |
| Taladan | shree_: but you probably want to enable all your repos in /etc/apt/sources.lst | 02:09 |
| Taladan | shree_: Except for the cdrom repo, at least. | 02:09 |
| shree_ | how do i do that | 02:09 |
| GS3User | nosrednaekim: let me rephrase... how do i edit the source of the output from the command "netstat -rn" | 02:09 |
| shree_ | Taladan: how do i enable the repos | 02:10 |
| Taladan | shree_: which cli text editor do you use? | 02:10 |
| nosrednaekim | GS3User: yeah.. with route | 02:10 |
| shree_ | Taladan: vi editor | 02:10 |
| === bmk789_ is now known as bmk789 | ||
| Taladan | shree - sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak then sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list | 02:11 |
| Taladan | Then remove the # from each line that starts with deb<foo> | 02:12 |
| Taladan | then :wq, then sudo apt-get update | 02:12 |
| shree_ | nosrednaekim: i was thinking of downloading it from their svn repos | 02:12 |
| shree_ | nosrednaekim: but as you say it is possible that i have not enavbled a ll the repos on my system | 02:13 |
| nosrednaekim | shree_: well, you'll have to compile manually. BUt I assure you, anything that will rum in GNOME will run in KDE, you just need the proper libraries | 02:13 |
| shree_ | nosrednaekim: so i will need to install the gnome libraries rite | 02:13 |
| nosrednaekim | yeah | 02:14 |
| Taladan | shree_: generally if you use apt-get install <package> it will fulfill the dependencies with the correct libraries - assuming the package is indeed in the reop | 02:15 |
| Taladan | shree_: what are you trying to install? | 02:15 |
| rydan | Just installed 8.04 with KDE4. I saw screenshots where someone had comic strips on a widget. it's not on the list here. anyone know how i can add it? | 02:15 |
| shree_ | Taladan: i want to install either landell or ereseva but it doesnt show up on my apt-cache result | 02:15 |
| nosrednaekim | rydan: grab the package "plasma-extragear" or extragear-plasma... nto sure which | 02:16 |
| rydan | thank you! | 02:16 |
| shree_ | Taladan: nosrednaekim: is it possible that i download from their svn and then use sudo spt-get.....kinda idea | 02:17 |
| nosrednaekim | shree_: no... | 02:17 |
| Taladan | shree_: no | 02:17 |
| shree_ | nosrednaekim: Taladan: :) | 02:17 |
| === jo_ is now known as jo__ | ||
| Taladan | shree_: Though...iirc there is a way to use make and dpkg together to fulfill prereqs for a package....been a year since I've done that though | 02:18 |
| shree_ | Taladan: iirc??? | 02:18 |
| === jo__ is now known as Noob | ||
| shree_ | Taladan: nosrednaekim: I am not upto that level | 02:18 |
| nosrednaekim | if I remember correctly | 02:18 |
| Taladan | (if I remember correctly) | 02:18 |
| Taladan | or you could check their sites and see if they have a .deb available and just install that with dpkg | 02:19 |
| shree_ | Taladan: crap... they have a i386 deb not a amd64 | 02:20 |
| wizard_ | can someone give me a more up-to-date guide on compiz fusion for hardy? | 02:21 |
| Taladan | shree_: good luck with that one then...I was never able to get i386 stuff working in a 64 environment, though I know there's others who have | 02:21 |
| shree_ | Taladan: nosrednaekim: you wouldnt recommend using the source code to create the package?? | 02:22 |
| nosrednaekim | shree_: its not exactly easy | 02:23 |
| Taladan | shree_: I would research it first and see if there's anyone else running it in a 64 bit environment and if so what steps they took to get it to work | 02:23 |
| nosrednaekim | but you can't really ruin anything either, so give it a shot :) | 02:23 |
| Taladan | point | 02:23 |
| Taladan | the most you'll do is compile it, futz with it for 6 hours until you're angry at yourself, the machine, and the entire world then just rm -rf the directory you installed it into. | 02:24 |
| shree_ | Taladan: : :) | 02:24 |
| Taladan | though... | 02:25 |
| Taladan | you do know that skype will run on kubuntu/ubuntu, right? | 02:25 |
| nosrednaekim | yea | 02:25 |
| shree_ | Taladan: nosrednaekim: ok | 02:25 |
| lelle | i got 4gigs and installed kubuntu 64-bit, but still only see 3gigs. what's up with that? | 02:25 |
| Taladan | The one thing that i've found about most of the voip stuff I use is that I can (usually) get it working fairly well on my machine, but when I want to talk to most windows users it's like pulling teeth to get them to install anything else on their machines, and most of them know of skype at least tangentially | 02:26 |
| shree_ | Taladan: nosrednaekim: can i contact gmail users from skype | 02:26 |
| shree_ | Taladan: nosrednaekim: ?? | 02:26 |
| Taladan | hmm...I dunno | 02:26 |
| Taladan | I think it's just skype-centric | 02:27 |
| nosrednaekim | shree_: don't think so | 02:27 |
| Taladan | but... | 02:27 |
| Taladan | hm...not that I know of | 02:27 |
| shree_ | Taladan: nosrednaekim: I guess I should yell at Google, for leaving the last piece of this puzzle hidden | 02:29 |
| shree_ | Taladan: nosrednaekim: ?? | 02:31 |
| nosrednaekim | yep :) | 02:31 |
| Taladan | sure....though I wouldn't hold my breath for a solution. Best bet is to try and figure out how to get the other stuff you've found to work in your environment. A few hours research may turn up something wholly useful | 02:32 |
| shree_ | Taladan: nosrednaekim: hmm. let me see what I can do. there is another arvind who is also helping me | 02:33 |
| arvind_khadri | Taladan, everything needs to be complied from SVN ,its a real pain | 02:37 |
| === jason is now known as thefuzz4 | ||
| nosrednaekim | lelle: whats "uname -a" say? | 02:38 |
| Taladan | hm...sounds like it's something that's extremely bleeding edge yet and will, at best, work only partially | 02:39 |
| arvind_khadri | yeah ... its time we had a .deb for a nice complete messenger | 02:39 |
| * Taladan nods | 02:40 | |
| Taladan | hence why I tend to use pidgin for all IM needs and skype for all voip needs | 02:40 |
| haettulegur | im having a 'fsck failed' problem -- can anyone please help? | 02:40 |
| lelle | nosrednaekim: Linux soda 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 12:47:45 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 02:40 |
| * arvind_khadri smiles | 02:40 | |
| nosrednaekim | lelle: and the output of "free -m" first line will do | 02:40 |
| Taladan | it's not that much of a hassle, though it would be nice to have a good dependable client that handled both | 02:41 |
| === santiago_ is now known as santiago-pgsql | ||
| thefuzz4 | does anyone have any suggestions about when I log out the computer just goes to a blank screen and I have to ctrl alt del a lot to get it to reboot? | 02:41 |
| nosrednaekim | thefuzz4: you have an ATI card, right? | 02:41 |
| thefuzz4 | yep | 02:41 |
| nosrednaekim | thefuzz4: UHHH! I hate that bug :) | 02:41 |
| lelle | nosrednaekim: Mem: 3019 767 2251 0 54 400 (note: integrated nforce GF7100 got 256megs) | 02:41 |
| arvind_khadri | actually everything even cams..kopete does but is kinda sluggish doesnt read from the other end if its windows | 02:41 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: what'd you do /before/ you go the fsck failed msg? | 02:41 |
| nosrednaekim | lelle: thats most interesting.... sure you don't have some bad ram there? | 02:42 |
| Taladan | arvind_khadri: exactly....hence why I use each seperately | 02:42 |
| haettulegur | Taladan: i restarted the system (everything was running sort of slowly) | 02:42 |
| totocool | Hi all i`ve installed the extra widgets package for kde 4 but there are no extra widgets, when i tried to install a single widget from kde-look.org , but when i try to view the new widgets - there are no new widgets | 02:42 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: how did you restart it? | 02:42 |
| totocool | any idea how to install them | 02:42 |
| haettulegur | Taladan: start -> log off -> restart | 02:43 |
| Taladan | and what fs are you using? | 02:43 |
| arvind_khadri | Taladan, i am using Windows only for the cam reason :) | 02:43 |
| totocool | I`m using the .deb packages for kubuntu | 02:43 |
| osiris | hello. just updated to hardy, and have sudoers issues. | 02:43 |
| haettulegur | Taladan: ? (im a newb, not sure what you're asking) | 02:43 |
| osiris | sudo apt-get install gkrellm | 02:43 |

| lelle | nosrednaekim: 2 x 2gig memory-sticks ... even memtest says 3gig ... and the Gigabyte motherboard says it supports up to 4gigs. Can't find any bios option either. | 02:43 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: when you installed it did you format your partitions standard or did you change them to something like vfat or reiserfs or ext2? | 02:44 |
| === santiago-pgsql is now known as santiago-ve | ||
| thefuzz4 | lelle: are you running 32 or 64bit? | 02:44 |
| nosrednaekim | lelle: I'm thinkin the MB doesn't support it | 02:44 |
| shree_ | Taladan: a quick question, when a source code is written, is it meant for a particular architecture or does it depend on where you compile it | 02:44 |
| lelle | thefuzz4: 64 bit | 02:44 |
| haettulegur | Taladan: sorry, i got disconnected. last thing you asked was what fs i was using. im not sure | 02:44 |
| nosrednaekim | shree_: most Open source programs can be compiled on either | 02:44 |
| nosrednaekim | Taladan: though sometimes they do write specific code for either | 02:45 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: when you installed it did you format your partitions standard or did you change them to something like vfat or reiserfs or ext2? | 02:45 |
| * Taladan nods to nosrednaekim | 02:45 | |
| nosrednaekim | *shree_: ^^ | 02:45 |
| haettulegur | Taladan: i just followed the standard installation | 02:45 |
| nosrednaekim | Taladan: sorry, wrong nicl :P | 02:45 |
| shree_ | nosrednaekim: i didnt understand that | 02:45 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: that means you're using the ext3 filesystem | 02:45 |
| olrrai | hello | 02:45 |
| shree_ | nosrednaekim: :0 | 02:45 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, sometimes the package comes arch dependent | 02:46 |
| Taladan | are you logged into a maintenance cli there? | 02:46 |
| shree_ | nosrednaekim: :) | 02:46 |
| haettulegur | Taladan: btw, im fine with just finding a way to backup all my data (i was in the middle of a backup when my hd crashed!!), and then reformatting everything if that's easier | 02:46 |
| Taladan | cli - command line interface | 02:46 |
| olrrai | do u know a good video editor and video format converter? | 02:46 |
| haettulegur | Taladan: yes | 02:46 |
| nosrednaekim | olrrai: try avidemux | 02:46 |
| olrrai | ok | 02:46 |
| Taladan | Okay, give me a minute to dig...been a bit | 02:46 |
| shree_ | arvind_khadri: hmmm. then it is a problem | 02:47 |
| haettulegur | Taladan: im at the state where...it said to run fsck manually, so i typed 'fsck. and now it says "error reading block *some numbers* whel getting next inode from scan. Ignore error?" | 02:47 |
| Taladan | can you private me with the output of the command -> mount | 02:47 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, about wat?? | 02:47 |
| Taladan | hm | 02:47 |
| === santiago_ is now known as santiago-ve | ||
| shree_ | arvind_khadri: if it is arch dpeendent | 02:47 |
| Taladan | try CTRL+C | 02:47 |

| Taladan | haettulegur: sorry, try CTRL+C then type: fsck.ext3 /dev/hda1 | 02:48 |
| matt__ | after trying out the compiz desktop settings crap, i decided to uninstall compiz*, but now what do i need to do to get back to the normalcy? | 02:48 |
| haettulegur | Taladan: "no such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda1. The superblock could not be read..." | 02:48 |
| shree_ | arvind_khadri: i mean if either landell or ereseva is arch dependent, then we will not land up wih a working isntallation | 02:48 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: then try /dev/sda1 | 02:49 |
| Dragnslcr | matt__- if compiz is still running, you can run kwin --replace | 02:49 |
| haettulegur | Taladan: "you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device>" | 02:49 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, they arent arch dependent ... as they are scripts checking your environment and setting theselves properly | 02:49 |
| Taladan | oy....you've got a corrupted superblock and I can't remember how to figure out where the next valid sb is | 02:49 |
| haettulegur | Taladan: ah, ok, it's running a check again now | 02:49 |
| matt__ | Dragnslcr: i'll give it a try | 02:49 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, i cant compress a whole big concept in some few lines :) that was confusing | 02:50 |
| shree_ | arvind_khadri: what you mean is that, if they detect a different arch, they will report a error | 02:50 |
| haettulegur | Taladan: (the /dev/sda1 thing is running) | 02:50 |
| shree_ | arvind_khadri: in case they are arch dependent | 02:50 |
| haettulegur | Taladan: is there a way of using a livecd and backing up all my data from that? (it's just what i've seen from some random googling, so just curious) | 02:51 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, in case they are arch dependent they wont install spitting errors .... but AFAIK sources from SVN arent arch dependent or even if they are the tool using to get them resolves it and gets the one you need to have | 02:51 |
| chris32882 | I need help networking with my xp computer with kubuntu, I'm using samba but I can't see my xp system | 02:52 |
| shree_ | kk | 02:52 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: *nods* You might also check out a -> "cat /etc/fstab" when that's done and look for a line that looks like UUID=<some big alphanumeric> ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 and make sure that's the only line in there that has a '1' in the last column. | 02:52 |
| ubuntu | hey | 02:52 |
| nosrednaekim | hello ubuntu | 02:52 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: sure, you can use a livecd and mount up your harddrive and pull all of your data either to another machine or to a partition you create onto the drive with something like qpart or gparted. | 02:53 |
| shree_ | arvind_khadri: do you think we will give a try compiling it. I have not much of an idea :). I will need guidance | 02:53 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: but first let the fsck go through - it's pretty adaptive and can generally fix any fs errors it comes across | 02:53 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, that would be on a bleeding edge ... actually would need to read the source first ... | 02:53 |
| haettulegur_ | ack, sorry, poor wireless (but i'm wired now :)) | 02:53 |
| ubuntu | i am new to kubuntu, just now came , any body give the ebook to kubuntu | 02:54 |

| arvind_khadri | shree_, i can help am not saying no,but may take up the whole day | 02:54 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: ah, im getting the same error as beffore: 'error reading block...while getting next inode from scan. ignore error?' | 02:54 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: but first let the fsck go through - it's pretty adaptive and can generally fix any fs errors it comes across<resay> | 02:54 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: does it give you the superblock number? | 02:54 |
| shree_ | arvind_khadri: isnt it that it is about running the configure script, make and then install | 02:54 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: error reading block 21233684 | 02:54 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, :) not always you need to check if it requires something else | 02:55 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, make sometimes takes hours to run | 02:56 |
| shree_ | you mean some other packages? | 02:56 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, yeah | 02:56 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: okay...this is going to be a little...um...weird | 02:56 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, libs | 02:56 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: type: dumpe2fs /dev/sda1 > fsinfo.txt | 02:56 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: so I should ctrl-c out of this to get to a command line first? | 02:56 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: yeah | 02:57 |
| shree_ | arvind_khadri: do you think that info should be in the readme file of the tar ball | 02:57 |
| ubuntu | Taladan: is there any link of the kubuntu? | 02:57 |
| ubuntu | ebook | 02:57 |
| shree_ | arvind_khadri: brb | 02:57 |
| ubuntu | ? | 02:57 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, yeah there would be a requirements file ... you can find wat it needs | 02:57 |
| Taladan | ubuntu: hm? | 02:57 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: ctrl-c-ing doesn't work (it just brought me to a new 'error-reading-block') | 02:58 |

| Taladan | haettulegur: ALT+F1 then | 02:59 |
| Taladan | kubKid: I don't understand your question | 02:59 |
| arvind_khadri | Taladan, that ctrl+alt+f1 | 02:59 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: 'starting up...*some stuff*...no resume image, doing normal boot' | 03:00 |
| Taladan | arvind_khadri: if he's at CLI the ctrl shouldn't matter, but it can't hurt, might help just in case | 03:00 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: hit CTRL+D | 03:00 |
| * arvind_khadri smiles | 03:00 | |
| minaqua | anyone happen to know to fix the video driver issue that is slowing my computer? | 03:00 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: ctrl-D and ctrl-alt-f1 do nothing | 03:00 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: hate to say this then, it sounds like you may be frozen...I would first try rebooting the machine and let it try to fsck itself on initial boot...it may be able to recover the bad superblock, but I'm doubtful at this point | 03:01 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: ok. ill get a livecd in the meantime :) | 03:02 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: yeah, do that, because even if you don't end up reinstalling your system, you can still repair it with the livecd | 03:02 |
| chris32882 | I need help networking with my xp computer with kubuntu, I'm using samba but I can't see my xp system | 03:03 |
| chris32882 | and my xp system is sharing | 03:03 |
| Taladan | chris32882: are you using simple file sharing on XP? | 03:03 |
| chris32882 | was able to share with this pc, with vista before install of kubuntu | 03:03 |
| chris32882 | I'm not sure, its just set up to share | 03:04 |
| Taladan | Then you're using simple file sharing | 03:04 |
| chris32882 | ok than I am :) | 03:04 |
| TeslaTony | How do I go about locking my home directory out so other users can't view my files? | 03:04 |
| Taladan | When you open up network folders->samba shares on kubuntu what does it say? | 03:05 |
| Taladan | TeslaTony: chmod -R 700 /home/<user> | 03:05 |
| chris32882 | it shows my home folder | 03:05 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: how exactly do i boot into a livecd? | 03:05 |
| chris32882 | on this machine | 03:05 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: drop it into the tray and let it boot from it. If your bios isn't configured to boot from a CD before the hdd though you'll have to reconfig the boot order in the bios | 03:06 |
| shree_ | arvind_khadri: hey, iam looking through this tar ball. it has some files and scripts like like NEWS, README,mkinstalldirs, configure, makefile etc. install etc. | 03:06 |
| Taladan | chris32882: and you're sure samba is running? | 03:06 |
| TeslaTony | Taladan: Thanks. | 03:06 |
| Taladan | TeslaTony: welcome | 03:07 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, which one?? | 03:07 |
| chris32882 | no I am not sure, how do I check to see if its running? I figured it was since the sama shares folder was there | 03:07 |
| Taladan | chris32882: open a terminal and type ps -ef|grep smb | 03:07 |
| shree_ | arvind_khadri: oh, landell | 03:07 |
| chris32882 | k | 03:07 |
| ronnie | any know if kubunu reads prefetch , bios, interrupt channels,??, they were set when I bought this old computer, but I have the option to put them on auto which lets the operating system choose config, wow I almost sound like a teckie geek lol | 03:07 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, from where did you get the source?? | 03:08 |
| shree_ | arvind_khadri: i am looking at the tar ball from sourceforge | 03:08 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, ok | 03:08 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, so you want to get it working? | 03:08 |
| chris32882 | arlight, done | 03:08 |

| shree_ | arvind_khadri: BTW, where r u? | 03:08 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, am in Bangalore....you | 03:09 |
| chris32882 | want me to paste what it says in here? | 03:09 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: hmm...so while trying to reboot into the livecd (i guess it's not configured to boot into a cd before the hd) i managed to get into what i think is a working command line (it asked me to login, and now ls and such works) | 03:09 |
| shree_ | arvind_khadri: I am in Virginia | 03:09 |
| shree_ | arvind_khadri: are you working | 03:09 |
| Taladan | chris32882: if it's got something besides 'grep smb' in there, then it's probably running. Try a sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 03:09 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: should i just try plugging an external hd in, and cp-ing everything over? | 03:09 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, am a student and got a test tomorrow :) | 03:10 |
| shree_ | arvind_khadri: which college | 03:10 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: well, which livecd are you using? | 03:10 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: or actually booting into the livecd? | 03:10 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, AMC Bannerghata road | 03:10 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: livecd is kubuntu 7.10 | 03:10 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, pm me | 03:10 |
| shree_ | arvind_khadri: good. i am a PESITian | 03:10 |
| Taladan | hm...it shouldn't boot directly into a commandline. But it didn't say anything about fsck errors when you booted? | 03:11 |
| arvind_khadri | shree_, dont want to be scolded here :) | 03:11 |
| chris32882 | says command not found | 03:11 |
| shree_ | arvind_khadri: i guess you can study now | 03:11 |
| Taladan | chris32882: try changing samba to smb | 03:11 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: err...yeah, nevermind...it now spontaneously is giving me errors. ill try going into the livecd again | 03:11 |
| chris32882 | still the same | 03:11 |
| shree_ | arvind_khadri: i know the pressure of internals. lol | 03:11 |
| * Taladan can't remember which one it's put there under | 03:11 | |
| Taladan | haettulegur_: what errors is it giving you? | 03:11 |
| lelle | nosrednaekim: SUCCESS! there was a new bios which fixed detecting wrong mem sizes ... now I have all my memory, wonder if I can go back to 32bit and still have all? 64bit seems to have slight issues still | 03:12 |
| nosrednaekim | lelle: no.. you can't | 03:13 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: the same errors it gave me when i tried to fsck, i think. (not sure--i rebooted.) should i select 'start or install kubuntu' or 'start kubuntu in safe graphics mode' now? | 03:13 |
| nosrednaekim | but thats awesome :) | 03:13 |
| Taladan | start or install k | 03:13 |
| chris32882 | hmm | 03:14 |
| ronnie | is anyone else finding kubuntu (hearty) takes longer to boot up than (gutsy)?, maybe I have some tweaking to work out = ) | 03:15 |
| Taladan | chris32882: still the same what...is it not restarting samba? | 03:15 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: ok, im now in. how do i copy my old folders over? | 03:16 |
| ronnie | or guess it could be the almost 25,000 package choices making it slower = ) | 03:16 |
| Taladan | haettulegur_: what you're going to want to do is open a terminal, then type sudo mkdir /mnt/hdd | 03:17 |
| Taladan | haettulegur_: then sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/hdd | 03:17 |
| chris32882 | Taladan: its saying "command not found" | 03:17 |
| Taladan | chris32882: what exactly are you typing? | 03:17 |
| chris32882 | sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart and that didn't work, so I did udo /etc/init.d/smb restart | 03:18 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: ok | 03:19 |
| Taladan | haettulegur_: then you're going to want to make sure that your external hdd is mounted up (k should show it mounted on the desktop as a usb dev), open that up in a window and then open up another file browser window and navigate over to /mnt/hdd/home/<user> and then copy everything from one window to the other | 03:19 |
| Taladan | chris32882: udo or sudo? | 03:19 |
| Taladan | chris32882: where was the typo initially? | 03:20 |
| chris32882 | sudo | 03:20 |
| chris32882 | I miss typed it here | 03:20 |
| Taladan | chris32882: then I'd try typing sudo apt-get install samba | 03:21 |
| Taladan | chris32882: because it sounds like samba's not installed on that machine | 03:21 |
| chris32882 | ok | 03:21 |
| chris32882 | I'll try that now | 03:21 |
| earlh | has anyone here noticed that hardy is slow to shutdown / logout, as well as locking up during these operations using ati fglrx | 03:21 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: hmm, any idea why it says 'access denied' to certain files? (files that shouldn't have any special permissions...eg, pdf files that i made at the same time as others that don't get an access denied) | 03:22 |
| chris32882 | installing now | 03:22 |
| Taladan | haettulegur_: could be set read only. What I'd do is open up a terminal and type: sudo chmod -R 777 /mnt/hdd/home/ | 03:22 |
| === spaz is now known as Kittens | ||
| chris32882 | installed, and started..checking seeing if its sharing | 03:23 |
| chris32882 | Taladan: its a no go, still the same | 03:25 |
| chris32882 | wont show other computer | 03:26 |
| * Taladan tries to remember how samba works...been a little bit | 03:26 | |
| chris32882 | heh makes 2 of us | 03:26 |
| Taladan | iirc, the last time I futzed around with samba, it just automagically picked up the windows shares. Are you sure that the folders are still shared on the windows machines? Also have you tried to smbmount the folders? | 03:27 |
| daemon3 | Even though Hardy is cool, it wasn't as cool as I was expecting it to be. | 03:27 |
| daemon3 | :) | 03:27 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: ok, great!! thank you so (do while true loop) much! | 03:27 |
| daemon3 | I just wanted to say..."Good job developers!" | 03:28 |
| haettulegur_ | if i could bake you cookies or something (virtual cookies?), i definitely would :) | 03:28 |
| Taladan | haettulegur_: *chuckles* Well, we can still try and repair your os before you nuke it if you want | 03:28 |
| Taladan | haettulegur_: but you're welcome | 03:28 |
| ScarEye | Hey guys. I got unbuntu 8.04 installed on this laptop and I got compiz installed also. I need to know where the config is to have the cube effect. I am only getting a 2D effect right now. | 03:29 |
| Taladan | haettulegur_: in fact..just for my ego, do you mind if I help you troubleshoot it on out for a few more minutes/ | 03:29 |
| Taladan | ? | 03:29 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: haha, anything you'd like :) | 03:30 |
| Taladan | haettulegur_: have a terminal open? | 03:30 |
| haettulegur_ | yeah | 03:31 |
| chris32882 | Taladan: everything is shared yes, how do you smbmount the folders? | 03:31 |
| TeslaTony | ScarEye: There's a package called "compizconfig-settings-manager." Install that through adept or apt, and it should show up. You'll also need compiz-kde (unless you're on KDE4 or gnome) | 03:32 |
| ScarEye | TeslaTony: I got that already installed | 03:32 |
| ScarEye | I got the advanced version installed | 03:32 |
| Taladan | chris32882: you may have to get something like pyneighborhood | 03:32 |
| Taladan | chris32882: don't remember if it comes native in samba | 03:33 |
| chris32882 | alright | 03:33 |
| TeslaTony | ScarEye: Then go to Settings->Advanced Desktop Effects Settings, and check the box for the cube. | 03:33 |
| Taladan | haettulegur_: okay, type: sudo dumpe2fs /dev/sda1 >> ~/fsinfo.txt | 03:34 |
| Taladan | haettulegur_: how comfortable are you with the vim text editor? | 03:35 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: oh, goddamn, im an emacs guy. i hate vim :) (i always forget how to exit and such) | 03:36 |
| ScarEye | TeslaTony: Did that brotha | 03:36 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: also, im still in the process of copying some stuff over (almost finished), so should i wait to type dump the output to the txt, or is it okay to do it now? | 03:36 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: but i can handle vim for now :) | 03:37 |
| Taladan | That's okay, emacs should be on there, I think. Open up fsinfo.txt in your fav editor and look for the range that superblock 21233684 falls inbetween | 03:37 |
| Taladan | haettulegur_: nah, dumpe2fs simply gathers info about your filesystem | 03:37 |
| ScarEye | How can I make sure I am opengl running? | 03:37 |
| ScarEye | I have * | 03:37 |
| ScarEye | opengl running | 03:37 |
| Taladan | haettulegur_: lemme know when you find that | 03:38 |
| TeslaTony | ScarEye: And you're still not getting a cube when you switch desktops? | 03:38 |
| Taladan | chris32882: if you're still here, the command may actually be mount.smb...I think smbmount may be deprecated | 03:38 |
| chris32882 | alright let me try it | 03:39 |
| ScarEye | nope.. I hold down the mouse and alt key. I don't see a "cube" just a flat destop that has 2 siddes | 03:39 |
| TeslaTony | ScarEye: Ack. I forgot. KDE has some issues with compiz. Go into the settings for the cube and set the desktop size to 4, then go to the pager and set the size to 1 | 03:40 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: ok, found it | 03:41 |
| poseidon | Is there a way to sync my thunderbird on windows and linux so they have the same contacts, acounts, folders, etc? | 03:42 |
| Taladan | chris32882: but you can try something like mount -t smbfs \\server\share username=<UN> password=<PW> workgroup=<WG> /mnt | 03:42 |
| Taladan | haettulegur_: okay, what does it say there for 'backup superblock' | 03:42 |
| ScarEye | TeslaTony: I click on the "Desktop Cube" button. And I have 4 tabs. General, Appearance, Behaviour, Transparent Cude | 03:42 |
| ScarEye | Which tab has that option ? | 03:43 |
| chris32882 | alright | 03:43 |
| william__ | now i installed ubuntu and then in cli did a sudo apt-get instal kubuntu-desktop will i have k3.5 or kde4 | 03:43 |
| Taladan | william__: 3 | 03:43 |
| haettulegur_ | Taladan: hmm...it doesn't have a 'backup superblock' thing under that group | 03:44 |
| Taladan | haettulegur_: what's the next backup superblock? | 03:44 |
| TeslaTony | ScarEye: I believe it's under appearance...unfortunately I don't currently have access to that window | 03:44 |
| haettulegur | Taladan: err...somehow being disconnected even though im wired...last thing i said was that it doesn't have a backup superblock under that group | 03:46 |
| Taladan | haettulegur_: what's the next backup superblock? | 03:46 |
| ScarEye | TeslaTony: Yea I don't see that option in there. You know what I am going to install this version of KUbuntu on a real desktop computer and see what happens. Maybe this laptop is being funky. Thank you for you time and help. I really appreciate it. | 03:46 |
| haettulegur | Taladan: 23887872 | 03:47 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: okay, go to the cli again. type sudo e2fsck -b 23887872 /dev/sda1 but make sure your file copy is finished. | 03:47 |
| Taladan | s/finished/finished first/ | 03:48 |
| TeslaTony | ScarEye: Sorry I couldn't be more help. The guys over at #compiz-fusion are probably going to be more help | 03:48 |
| ScarEye | TeslaTony: Okay I will check out compiz-fusion. Still thanks for your time. =) | 03:50 |

| * Taladan yawns | 03:53 | |
| Leucas | have anybody upgraded kubuntu from ubuntu? | 03:53 |
| Leucas | on hardy | 03:53 |
| TeslaTony | Leucas: I have, with KDE4, though | 03:53 |
| Leucas | well but I dont want to install kde4... is it possible to do it with kde 3 | 03:54 |
| Leucas | ? | 03:54 |
| Leucas | Im asking it because I've already done it on gutsy... | 03:55 |
| Leucas | but in this newer release I don't know if it is the same | 03:55 |
| TeslaTony | Leucas: Absolutely. Just type in the command line "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" That gives you kde3 and a bunch of other packages | 03:55 |
| Leucas | very good | 03:56 |
| TeslaTony | Leucas: If you wanted KDE4, it'd be kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 03:56 |
| Leucas | I was pretty happy with my kubuntu gutsy... but it has an issue with sound of my laptop | 03:56 |
| Leucas | and I've tried the liveCD of ubuntu and they've corrected | 03:57 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: you still with me bud? | 03:58 |
| Leucas | TeslaTony: thank you so much | 03:58 |
| haettulegur | Taladan: yeah, sorry. last folder :) | 03:58 |
| Taladan | S'alright. I was afraid you'd wandered off into the dark and been eaten by a grue | 03:59 |
| haettulegur | Taladan: grues dont eat me, i eat them | 03:59 |
| chris32882 | alright I downloaded the samba browser I seee the workgroup and just my computer | 04:00 |
| Taladan | chris32882: good deal. Click on the workgroup | 04:00 |
| chris32882 | yeah I have, just shows my pc | 04:02 |

| coreymon77 | lumpy lolcat! | 04:07 |
| Taladan | I'm waiting for wicked weasel | 04:07 |
| NIghtFire | is that 8.04 release worth the upgrade ? | 04:07 |
| coreymon77 | since they didnt do hungry hippo this time, they have to do something lolcat for L | 04:08 |
| dwidmann | NIghtFire: yes. | 04:08 |
| NIghtFire | is the version thats out now still a beta version ? | 04:08 |
| coreymon77 | nope | 04:09 |
| coreymon77 | full stable | 04:09 |
| NIghtFire | k thanks | 04:09 |
| NIghtFire | one other question did they get the issue with broadcom wireless cards resolved ? | 04:10 |
| coreymon77 | NIghtFire: what issue are we talking | 04:10 |
| coreymon77 | NIghtFire: and which cards? | 04:10 |
| NIghtFire | I read something on the Ubuntu page under known issues that said that if your machine had a broadcom wireless card you would get a driver manager crash on install. | 04:11 |
| Taladan | um....haven't heard about that one...heard about the need for the ndis-wrappers for broadcom chipsets though | 04:11 |
| NIghtFire | They said that it could be resolved buy downloading a new driver but how are you supposed to do that if the wireless is down? | 04:12 |
| jih2d | hey, anyone ever have a problem with amarok not seeing all audio files? | 04:12 |
| NIghtFire | I ask because I have a hp lappy that has an onboard broadcom chip set and I have had a $%#@%#$ of a time getting it to work with each upgrade | 04:14 |
| jih2d | i need my tunes | 04:14 |
| Kiry | jih2d, YES | 04:14 |
| Kiry | I have NO sound after the update | 04:14 |

| jih2d | using alsa? | 04:14 |
| Kiry | <-- thinkpad Z60A | 04:15 |
| Kiry | alsa? | 04:15 |
| Kiry | I know I launched amarok and heard NOTHING | 04:15 |
| jih2d | alsamixer might have stuff muted | 04:15 |
| Kiry | and my DVDs don't have sound either | 04:15 |
| shree_ | Taladan:see you later. i am going to try out gnome | 04:15 |

| NIghtFire | k thanks | 04:19 |

| haettulegur | you can also try vlc: sudo apt-get install vlc (kaffeine never seems to work well for me) | 04:21 |
| chris32882 | vlc is pretty cool basicly works with anything | 04:21 |
| haettulegur | Taladan: done copying at last :) | 04:21 |
| watthasongkhro_w | is there any way to check my basic pc spec in kubuntu? | 04:21 |

| NIghtFire | yes on another machine | 04:42 |
| coreymon77 | NIghtFire: i mean on that machine | 04:42 |
| coreymon77 | NIghtFire: aka, do you have an ethernet cable that you could use to plug directly into the router | 04:42 |
| NIghtFire | yes | 04:42 |
| NIghtFire | I could do that I guess. | 04:42 |
| coreymon77 | well, then, use the ethernet cable to connect that box to the internet | 04:42 |
| coreymon77 | and then i could help you get it working | 04:43 |
| coreymon77 | NIghtFire: you see, there is a solution for everything | 04:44 |

| NIghtFire | yes that is chipset that is in my lappy I got it to work by fooling the os into thinking it was a wire connection. | 04:50 |
| NIghtFire | at least with gutsy | 04:50 |
| coreymon77 | NIghtFire: no need | 04:50 |
| coreymon77 | NIghtFire: bcn43xx cards are easy to get working, providing you have an alternate way to access the intarwebs | 04:51 |
| coreymon77 | such as an ethernet cable | 04:51 |
| Taladan | haettulegur: at this point, lemme just suggest to proceed with the reinstall unless someone else knows more about repairing bad superblocks....I'm fading fast over here and need to sleep soon | 04:52 |

| chris32882 | yes I know this, shree_, I was trying to join #ubuntu, but when i did was a empty channel | 05:11 |
| KhaoticMind | MrGnu: i do believe the best way to do this is installing the kubuntu-desktop package... apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 05:11 |
| erlanfernando | ola | 05:12 |
| shree_ | People, please help me uninstall Kubuntu-desktop i nits entirety | 05:13 |
| shree_ | Taladan: can you help me uninstall Kubuntu desktop that I have got Ubuntu desktop installed | 05:13 |
| MrGnu | when I did that in Gutsy, it left me with a working splash screen, but the KDE was not recognized. If I do this, in Hardy, could I run into the same problem? | 05:13 |
| italy | i booted up remix but for some reason it goes to some crazy resolution and xorg.conf doesn't have anything to change it | 05:14 |
| phil_ | when I did that Mr Gnu I got a kubuntu login that logged into ubuntu, untill I selected kubuntu in the drop down list at the login screen | 05:14 |
| KhaoticMind | MrGnu: which splash screen are we talking about? Boot splash or the splash after login? | 05:15 |
| MrGnu | boot splash | 05:16 |
| italy | any suggestions? | 05:16 |
| italy | I can't change the resolution : < | 05:16 |
| phil_ | is there a way to copy files in dolphin where it can let my use the root password to do it? | 05:16 |
| phil_ | sorry I found it | 05:17 |
| KhaoticMind | thats weird MrGnu, for what i know the boot process should be the same for both gnome and kde... | 05:18 |
| MrGnu | Well this was in Gutsy, I have not tried to install KUBUNTU again | 05:19 |
| MrGnu | but I guess the best way to do it is by sudo apt get-install kubuntu-desktop | 05:19 |
| KhaoticMind | if you just want kubuntu (and dump gnome) you can also try to install the kubuntu CD instead of ubuntu... | 05:19 |
| MrGnu | Ive been podering that, and I might go kubuntu 64 bit, if they have a version like that? | 05:20 |
| KhaoticMind | aye they have :) | 05:20 |
| KhaoticMind | thou, you might find some problems with the 64bit version (both ubuntu and kubuntu) | 05:21 |
| KhaoticMind | like drivers and even java... | 05:21 |
| Makuseru | when ever i middle click on a link in firefox it opens up that link a new tab, i like that. but, if i miss the link and click on just the background not the link it pastes what ever link i have copied into the bar and takes me there, how can i stop this from happening | 05:24 |

| harolddong | like, I still can't import bookmarks at all and flash seems to make it freak out | 05:34 |
| Frederick | damm I lost con can you please na any good emulator again? | 05:35 |
| MrGnu | cool Khaotic, I ll give it a shot, and set up a dual boot or something | 05:35 |
| KhaoticMind | MrGnu: head to www.kubuntu.org to plenty of info about kubuntu, and some download links as well ;) | 05:39 |

| gothicd3vil | thanks is that i have classes by internet and i have to send homeworks | 05:45 |

| cahuez | yeap.. | 06:11 |
| macampos | no my wireless | 06:11 |
| Dragonath | I'd bet on wlan | 06:11 |
| macampos | is a wlan0 | 06:11 |

| macampos | and dhcp server | 06:13 |
| macampos | but no show my network in my laptop | 06:13 |
| Dragonath | what command do you use to scan? | 06:14 |
| Dragonath | I have an old laptop that doesn't show any networks unless you do a sudo iwlist scan | 06:15 |
| cahuez | humm.. | 06:15 |
| cahuez | try a ping to <the eth1 ip address> .. | 06:16 |
| Dragonath | however there's only 1 network to which it has actually managed to connect, so something else might be broken too | 06:16 |
| macampos | dont have eth1 | 06:16 |
| macampos | i have eth0 | 06:16 |
| macampos | and | 06:17 |
| macampos | wlan0 | 06:17 |
| cahuez | eth0 is working.. | 06:17 |
| macampos | yes | 06:17 |
| cahuez | ok, ping to wlan0 ip address.. | 06:17 |
| macampos | no ping | 06:17 |
| cahuez | checking... | 06:17 |

| cahuez | and you are near a wlan lan..? | 06:18 |
| macampos | yes | 06:19 |
| macampos | wlan0 | 06:19 |
| Dragonath | no, that's an interface | 06:19 |
| Dragonath | what you need is a network to connect to | 06:19 |
| macampos | ok | 06:20 |
| macampos | i have a network | 06:20 |
| Dragonath | try "iwlist scan" | 06:20 |
| macampos | iwlist wlan0 scan | 06:21 |
| macampos | no returne results | 06:21 |
| Dragonath | then try "sudo iwlist scan" | 06:21 |
| macampos | in kubuntu 7.10 | 06:21 |
| macampos | my network is ok | 06:22 |
| macampos | i install a 8.04 version | 06:22 |
| macampos | no more wireless | 06:22 |
| Dragonath | ok | 06:22 |
| macampos | you know any problem with 8.04 version | 06:23 |
| macampos | ?? | 06:23 |
| Dragonath | I don't really know what could be causing it | 06:23 |
| Dragonath | because I'm still running 7.10 | 06:23 |
| macampos | ok | 06:23 |
| Dragonath | what you probably want to do, is downgrade to a previous version of ifconfig or iwlist | 06:23 |
| macampos | downgrade | 06:24 |
| macampos | humm | 06:24 |
| macampos | iwlist probe | 06:25 |
| macampos | ok | 06:25 |
| macampos | tks | 06:25 |
| Dragonath | you might also want to try to search for known problems with your network card | 06:25 |
| Dragonath | on google or something | 06:25 |
| macampos | i search | 06:25 |
| macampos | but 8.04 is a new version | 06:25 |
| Dragonath | I think if you google for "kubuntu 8.04 <card name>" | 06:25 |
| Dragonath | indeed | 06:25 |
| macampos | i dont have more informations about is | 06:26 |
| macampos | ok | 06:26 |
| macampos | tks | 06:26 |
| Dragonath | no worries | 06:26 |
| Dragonath | hope you get the problem sorted | 06:26 |

| ISS_Student | maduser he needs to do that as sudo | 07:05 |
| zeth_ | thanks!!! | 07:05 |
| maduser | I take typing firefox in the terminal brings up nothing? | 07:06 |
| maduser | for him? | 07:06 |
| stdin | I would check to make sure the repositories are enabled in adept | 07:06 |
| hydrogen | well, we don't know whats happened since I told him to install mozilla-firefox | 07:06 |
| hydrogen | because the next thing that happened was you told him he had to update to hardy | 07:07 |
| stdin | firefox is in main, so it would be enabled unless there was no net-connection at install | 07:07 |
| ISS_Student | ok here is my question what happened to nmap-fe? | 07:07 |
| stdin | ISS_Student: I don't know, what happened to it? | 07:07 |
| ISS_Student | stdin there is zenmap but I can't find it on the menu | 07:08 |
| stdin | ISS_Student: try running "kbuildsycoca" to update the menu | 07:09 |
| stdin | though knmap is a KDE gui for nmap iirc | 07:10 |
| maduser | so is that firefox probelm fixed | 07:16 |
| * Dr_willis looks under the couch | 07:16 | |
| Dr_willis | knmap - nmap graphical interface for KDE | 07:17 |
| harris | okay for example i have ben.exe = how can i run it? | 07:18 |
| Dr_willis | you proberly want to run zenmap with 'kdesu zenmap' or kdesudo zenmap | 07:18 |
| stdin | !wine | harris | 07:18 |
| ubotu | harris: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 07:18 |
| maduser | but no all programs work with wine | 07:18 |
| maduser | but not all programs work with wine | 07:18 |
| maduser | some do and some don't | 07:19 |
| harris | so do i need wine in running firefox.exe | 07:21 |
| harris | hehehhehe | 07:21 |
| stdin | did you do what was asked? | 07:21 |
| stdin | did you check your sources? | 07:21 |
| harris | wow HOW? | 07:22 |
| stdin | open adept goto Adept -> Manage Repositories | 07:22 |
| stdin | make sure they are checked | 07:23 |
| stdin | then click "fetch updates" | 07:23 |
| dinart | how do I log as the root? | 07:24 |
| === imut is now known as CEWek_imut | ||
| stdin | !root | dinart | 07:24 |
| ubotu | dinart: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 07:24 |
| The_ManU_212 | hi | 07:25 |
| harris | wheezzzz | 07:25 |
| dinart | stdin, yeah, but i want to use the graphic interface as the root | 07:25 |
| dinart | not the console | 07:26 |
| stdin | that's not supported | 07:26 |
| stdin | or recommended | 07:26 |
| stdin | or needed | 07:26 |
| stdin | settings for that would be in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc | 07:26 |
| draik | stdin: general rule of thumb, "If you're not allowed, there's most likely a very good reason" | 07:27 |
| stdin | draik: tell that to dinart ;) | 07:27 |
| dinart | i just wanted to edit the file menu.lst at boot/grub | 07:27 |
| draik | stdin: I know, but I wanted your approval for the verbiage | 07:27 |
| dinart | to change the boot order | 07:27 |
| stdin | dinart: do use 'kdesu kate /boot/grub/menu.lst' | 07:28 |
| draik | dinart: Use CLI or the command line. | 07:28 |
| stdin | "CLI or the command line" ? | 07:28 |
| draik | Whoops | 07:28 |
| stdin | ;) | 07:28 |
| draik | CLI or the Run command | 07:28 |
| dinart | i'm not used with the linux console syntax | 07:29 |
| stdin | you can also use the "Edit file as root" open from konqueror | 07:29 |
| stdin | *option | 07:29 |
| draik | dinart: I've preferred CLI editing lately. Go figure. I've been so used to KATE for a while and now I'm getting the urge to use CLI. | 07:30 |
| greeg | the latest kubuntu sucks. im rolling back to a previous version | 07:30 |
| greeg | nothing werks. | 07:30 |

| harris | CAN i use visual studio here? or program visual basic.net? | 07:37 |
| bwp | So, ever since I upgraded to 8.04, Kaffeine is unable to play videos off a samba share | 07:37 |
| bwp | says: 16:37:32: xine: cannot find input plugin for MRL | 07:37 |
| harris | im installing NET beans right now hope its okay | 07:37 |
| bwp | was working before the upgrade | 07:38 |
| osiris | has anyone else had problems with flash not having sound in hardy ? | 07:38 |
| bwp | any ideas anyone? | 07:38 |
| bef | hi. i just installed kub 8.04 from ub 7.10, fresh install... my pci wireless graphics was autofound and works, except | 07:38 |
| bef | my speeds are absolutely shit | 07:38 |
| Dr_willis | bwp, How are you accessing the share? you might want to mount the share to a directory, then anything should be able to play them | 07:38 |
| bef | and my connection is really unstable | 07:38 |
| stdin | bef: watch the language in here please | 07:38 |
| bef | it was never like this with ubuntu, im wondering why this is happening? | 07:38 |
| bwp | Dr_willis: yeah, it works if I do that (of course). I was just wondering if there's a reason why it stopped working | 07:39 |
| bwp | i'm opening the file direction from a smb:// url in Dolphin | 07:39 |
| bwp | directly * | 07:39 |
| stdin | bef: the only difference between ubuntu and kubuntu is the GUI and set of default applications, the core is the same so the speed can't be anything to do with KDE but the core | 07:40 |
| bef | do you have any advice on how i can fix it? | 07:40 |
| The_ManU_212 | i installed yesterday nvidia-glx-new - NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'new' driver and use a6600gt but i have no 3d acceleration:/ | 07:40 |
| stdin | bef: wifi isn't really my area, but what network card/driver are you using? | 07:40 |
| bef | im using a belkin wireless (Ralink) | 07:41 |
| Dr_willis | bwp, ive gotten where i use gmplayer as my main player. and fusesmb to access samba shares. ;) i rarely play things over the smb:// stuff | 07:41 |
| bef | and im using the default native linux driver | 07:42 |
| bef | i'm not using ndiswrapper (and havent had to with this card for over a year) | 07:42 |
| draik | bef: You have a PCI Wireless video card??? | 07:42 |
| bef | what? | 07:42 |
| stdin | draik: huh? | 07:42 |
| bef | did i ever say video card? | 07:42 |
| Ertain | Hello everyone. When I upgraded to Heady Hebron my system stopped booting properly. It will load the necessary stuff, but it won't go into KDE. | 07:43 |
| bef | oh maybe i did | 07:43 |
| bef | (if so i'm just retarded) | 07:43 |
| bef | but not what i meant to say :P | 07:43 |
| draik | stdin: bef: ..." my pci wireless graphics was autofound and works, except" | 07:43 |
| bef | lol | 07:43 |
| bef | yeah, my bad | 07:43 |
| stdin | yeah, but you need to discard words that don't fit | 07:43 |
| draik | I wasn't sure which one | 07:43 |
| stdin | I guess I do it unconsciously now :p | 07:43 |
| Ertain | I tried looking into the logs but they have stopped right before I upgraded my system. | 07:43 |
| Ertain | Could the logs be in a different place? | 07:44 |
| draik | PCI wireless or PCI VC | 07:44 |
| bef | pci wireless | 07:44 |
| bwp | Ertain: it isn't trying to load KDE4 is it? The compositing in KDE4 caused some weird problems for me for a while | 07:44 |
| hydrogen | wireless video... mmm :) | 07:44 |
| bef | (i did say belkin wireless ralink) which would be fairly obvious :P | 07:44 |
| chrisrogers | hey dwidmann | 07:45 |
| Ertain | bwp: I don't know if it is trying to start KDE4. | 07:45 |
| Ertain | bwp: But I'll try uninstalling my KDE4 stuff. | 07:45 |
| bwp | Ertain: do you get to a login prompt? Can you choose the "session type" from the list? | 07:45 |
| bef | draik, can you help? | 07:46 |
| bef | wlan0 | 07:46 |
| Ertain | bwp: I don't even get into the login prompt. | 07:46 |
| bwp | not KDE4's fault then :) | 07:46 |
| draik | bef: Sorry, I'm still in Gutsy | 07:47 |
| bef | for some reason its running at like 5Kbs, and i'm on a 1500kbs connection | 07:47 |
| bef | which is utterly rediculous | 07:47 |
| Ertain | Figures. :-/ | 07:47 |
| Ertain | bwp: okay, could it be the login thingy? | 07:48 |
| bwp | does X start? | 07:49 |
| Ertain | bwp: I don't know. I do have xinit installed, along with startx (and Kubuntu-desktop), but apparently it doesn't start. | 07:50 |
| Ertain | I do have all of the right Xserver and X11 stuff, afaik. | 07:52 |
| bwp | so what happens when you try to start KDE? | 07:52 |
| iqon | i can't get amarok to retrieve ipod play counts in 8.04 | 07:53 |
| Ertain | Here's what happens: my regular bootsplash is loading, and then it tries to go start X and... It doesn't start. | 07:54 |
| ForgeAus | is anything linux an industry standard? I mean Windows doesn't recognise EXT3 partitions by default, wouldn't it make sense to make EXT3 an industry standard of some kind? | 07:55 |
| Dr_willis | ForgeAus, MS dosent want to.. so they dont., | 07:56 |
| ForgeAus | I mean windows' diskpart is ok for a basic ntfs partitioner but thats about all it can do | 07:56 |
| fdoving | ForgeAus: microsoft and windows does not want to cooperate with anything linux. that's the only reason it doesn't read it by default, it's not that it's hard to read it in any way. | 07:56 |
| Dr_willis | Why not ask why Windows dosent have NFS by default. :) or other more common things also. | 07:56 |
| bwp | Ertain: looks like the upgrade to the new version of X broke your install somehow | 07:56 |
| bef | somebody please help me fix my connection please | 07:56 |
| bwp | X is pretty nasty when it doesn't work | 07:56 |
| ForgeAus | NFS is easy enough with SFU/SUA if you have a windows with those extras | 07:57 |
| Ertain | In my /var/log/dmesg file it gets up to ip_tables and then it stops. Btw, I'm on a wireless connection. | 07:57 |
| Dr_willis | ForgeAus, ext2 support in windows works 'ok' :) with a few tools as well.. but not 100% | 07:57 |
| ForgeAus | yeah I have an ext2ifs driver | 07:58 |
| bwp | ext2ifs is pretty flaky in my experience | 07:58 |
| ForgeAus | but thats not what I meant... it doesn't give diskpart or ntldr the ability to recognise ext2/3 partitions does it? | 07:58 |
| Ertain | bwp: Just in case what would you suggest I do to fix "X"? | 07:58 |
| ForgeAus | really I've had no problem with it at all bwp... | 07:58 |
| ForgeAus | (sofar anyhow) | 07:59 |
| ForgeAus | maybe its one of them "works for me" thingies | 07:59 |
| bwp | Ertain: if you know your way around the commandline, make a backup of your existing xorg.conf file and try running the autoprobe thingy | 07:59 |
| Ertain | Okay. | 07:59 |
| bwp | Xorg -configure | 07:59 |
| bwp | see what it comes up with | 07:59 |
| fdoving | !xconf | 08:00 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xconf - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:00 |
| fdoving | !xconfig | 08:00 |

| SilentDis | i just replaced a CD burner with a CD/DVD+-RW burner. Bios sees it fine (even allows to boot off a CD), but as soon as I'm up and running in 8.04, it fails to work. I assume there's gonna be an error somewhere in a log, where would i start looking? | 08:08 |

| SilentDis | is there a way to kill all use of that device? | 08:14 |
| SilentDis | hm. on the off chance i didn't set the jumper right, gonna shut down and check that just to be extra sure. be back in a bit | 08:16 |

| INIT_6 | Hello, MrBogus | 08:30 |
| MrBogus | just wanted to ask if were can I get an installer for kubuntu | 08:31 |
| Dr_willis | the instgall cd's instgall ubuntu/kubuntu normally. | 08:32 |
| Dr_willis | Unless you want to use the 'wubi' installer. | 08:32 |
| The_ManU_212 | INIT_6: 8.04 kde 3, installed nvidia-glx-new, but didnt helped and xorg.conf has only generic entries and no "nvidia" mentioned somewhere | 08:32 |
| MrBogus | my problem is I have no cd for kubuntu | 08:32 |
| MrBogus | =) | 08:32 |
| Dr_willis | Hmmm go download one? | 08:33 |
| MrBogus | can i? | 08:33 |
| the-erm | Any upgrade issues? | 08:33 |
| the-erm | I guess I should ask has anyone had any issues upgrading? | 08:34 |
| INIT_6 | I did but that was a user error | 08:34 |
| Dr_willis | MrBogus, err.. of course... kubuntu is not some app you install under windows.. (normally) :) You download the iso. burn it to cd..reboot, install from cd | 08:34 |
| JoshOvki | the-erm: i had a problem upgrading, but thats because my system froze | 08:34 |
| JoshOvki | Dr_willis: if he installed using wubi then it could be simular to his point of view | 08:35 |
| the-erm | JoshOvki: don't scare me like that... | 08:36 |
| Dr_willis | JoshOvki, i aint even TOUCHING or suggesting Wubi.. ever.. :) | 08:36 |
| JoshOvki | lol | 08:36 |
| the-erm | I'm adept_upgrade is running now. | 08:36 |
| MrBogus | could someone provide a download link for kubuntu? | 08:36 |
| MrBogus | thanks for the answers | 08:36 |
| MrBogus | :) | 08:36 |
| Dr_willis | MrBogus, try kubuntu.org ? check the topic of the channel? | 08:36 |
| JoshOvki | the-erm: i think it was just my system, loads of people have upgraded with no issues | 08:37 |
| Dr_willis | There are torrents for the new release out now also. that may be the fastet way to get a .iso image. | 08:37 |
| Dr_willis | .04 Released! http://kubuntu.org/news/8.04-release | 08:37 |
| MrBogus | okay. i'll try to download. | 08:37 |
| INIT_6 | *bumb* where is the best place to get help for wine and the new 8.04 here or a different channel? | 08:38 |
| the-erm | Last time I think I had some bad repositories, and ended up re-installing, instead of upgrading. | 08:38 |
| arunkale | hello | 08:38 |
| MrBogus | is it also possible for me to have a dual boot? | 08:39 |
| MrBogus | e.g ubuntu / windows? | 08:39 |
| Dr_willis | MrBogus, of course. | 08:39 |
| arunkale | how do i copy a directory to another directory? i tried cp, but it says 'Name' is a directory (not copied) | 08:39 |
| MrBogus | thanks | 08:39 |
| Dr_willis | arunkale, you proverly want to use the -r for recursive option to cp. | 08:39 |
| the-erm | MrBogus: backup everything. | 08:39 |
| Dr_willis | or was it -R... i forget. :) | 08:39 |
| MrBogus | yeah | 08:39 |
| the-erm | Well ... the important data then :) | 08:39 |
| INIT_6 | -R | 08:40 |
| Dr_willis | I tend to use 'mc' way too much :) | 08:40 |
| arunkale | Thanks, Dr_willis, cp -R seems to be doing the trick | 08:40 |
| arunkale | Dr_willis: what does mc do | 08:40 |
| Dr_willis | !info mc | 08:40 |
| ubotu | mc (source: mc): midnight commander - a powerful file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:4.6.1-8ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 2059 kB, installed size 5944 kB | 08:40 |

| Dr_willis | :) | 08:40 |
| Dr_willis | a MUST get. :0 | 08:41 |
| arunkale | cool | 08:41 |
| arunkale | is it possible to get some sort of progress bar or something in the terminal while copying large directories? | 08:41 |
| Dr_willis | arunkale, ive seen various 'progress bar' copy scripts here and there.. | 08:42 |
| Dr_willis | mc gives you a nice progress bar. :) | 08:42 |
| svu | is it true that kubuntu requires manual editing of /etc/network/interfaces - for wireless interfaces? KNetworkManager cannot enable wifi :( | 08:42 |
| Dr_willis | svu, for my laptop i did not have to edit anything manually | 08:42 |
| MrBogus | is there any forums for kubuntu? | 08:43 |
| Dr_willis | MrBogus, the kubuntu homepage has links to them.. and other documention | 08:43 |
| Dr_willis | !forums | 08:43 |
| svu | Dr_willis: in KNM I tried "enable wireless" - but it did not change anything. What did you do on your laptop? | 08:43 |
| ubotu | The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. | 08:43 |
| MrBogus | thanks | 08:43 |
| Lynoure | svu: I originally needed to comment out my wlan card for /etc/network/interfaces, aften that haven't needed to edit a thing related to it | 08:43 |
| the-erm | Everything in my house is wired but the wii. | 08:44 |
| Dr_willis | For my laptop - i installed the broadcom package. and clicked on some gizmo and entered my ssid and password.. and that was about it.. I was amazed that it worked. :) | 08:44 |
| Dr_willis | the-erm, :) the one gizmo with built in wireless is wired. :) same as my wii! | 08:44 |
| svu | Dr_willis: I expected the same. And it did not even add it to /etc/network/interfaces | 08:45 |
| INIT_6 | mc | 08:45 |
| svu | I seen eth1 in ifconfig output | 08:45 |
| INIT_6 | srry wrong window | 08:45 |
| MrBogus | i chose 8.04 | 08:46 |
| MrBogus | should i download everything? | 08:46 |
| Lynoure | MrBogus: everything is a bit too much. Are you doing a fresh install, upgrade or what? | 08:47 |
| the-erm | I think he's doing a fresh install. | 08:47 |
| Dr_willis | MrBogus, you download the .iso image file for the specific disrto/variant you want | 08:47 |
| Dr_willis | You then properly burn the iso file (as an IMAGE) to a blank cd. :) | 08:48 |
| MrBogus | Lynoure: I'm doing a fresh install | 08:48 |
| Lynoure | MrBogus: Dr_willis's advice is all good, then :) | 08:48 |
| MrBogus | Thanks to you both | 08:49 |
| MrBogus | :) | 08:49 |
| MrBogus | i have started to download now. | 08:49 |
| the-erm | < I repeat make sure you back up > | 08:49 |
| MrBogus | yeah. thanks for the warn. | 08:49 |
| Dr_willis | most likely you want the file http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/hardy/kubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso | 08:50 |
| the-erm | If you want to dual boot you should make sure you have a copy of the xp disk. Windows will freak when it notices the partition is a different size. | 08:50 |
| Dr_willis | depending on which mirror you selected | 08:50 |
| Dr_willis | the-erm, ive never noticed it freaking. :) | 08:50 |
| The_ManU_212 | INIT_6: cant you help me? | 08:50 |
| the-erm | I hate windows for that. Put in a new drive ... and it won't boot without a disk. | 08:51 |
| MrBogus | then i will make a bootable disk? or just make a datadisk? | 08:51 |
| the-erm | It happened to me. | 08:51 |
| INIT_6 | Sorry, I don't know that mush about it. | 08:51 |
| INIT_6 | You don't have any weired setup do you. like going through a KVM switch. I know that mess me up. | 08:52 |
| Lynoure | MrBogus: if you burn the .iso, it will be bootable. | 08:52 |
| MrBogus | ok. then i will just choose data cd for burning | 08:52 |
| INIT_6 | The_ManU_212: I know I like to install the nvida x server settings to help me tweak with the configuration not sure how other people feel about that software but I likeit. | 08:53 |
| Lynoure | MrBogus: don't worry too much about which to choose (kde3 or kde4), as you can install the other to be on the side when you are done, if you wish | 08:53 |
| MrBogus | okay, I have already windows on my system (drive c:), my drive d: is empty. can I install ubuntu without distorbing windows on drive c: | 08:54 |
| MrBogus | ? | 08:54 |
| Dr_willis | MrBogus, you do NOT make a 'data' disk - you use a tool that burns the .iso as an image.. such as burnatonce, or nero, or other tools. | 08:55 |
| Dr_willis | MrBogus, You can delete the D: parittion and instgall linux in the unallocated space. Is one way | 08:55 |
| MrBogus | but windows will not be altered if i do so? | 08:55 |
| Dr_willis | If you have nothing on D: then it should ent be. | 08:55 |
| MrBogus | thanks | 08:56 |
| Dr_willis | You can play with the LiveCD and toy withlinux all you want without installing also. | 08:56 |
| MrBogus | what file is it? | 08:56 |
| MrBogus | what file is it for LiveCD? | 08:56 |
| Dr_willis | what file is what? | 08:56 |
| Dr_willis | The desktop cd is a live cd. | 08:57 |
| Dr_willis | You boot it. get a nice linux desktop, with an Install icon you can use if you want. | 08:57 |
| MrBogus | can I also download a Desktop cd? | 08:59 |
| MrBogus | i'm in 10% of my download now. lol | 09:00 |
| Lynoure | MrBogus: live cd is the cd you install the desktop from, too | 09:00 |
| MrBogus | okay. that clears me. | 09:01 |

| harris_ | i cant watch video from youtube | 09:33 |
| warren_ | and as it is installed by default | 09:34 |
| warren_ | that's flash | 09:34 |
| warren_ | install flashplugin-nonfree | 09:34 |
| harris_ | okay i can't even install flash | 09:34 |
| warren_ | or to install everything to read multimedia: install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 09:34 |
| warren_ | harris_ : with adept! | 09:34 |
| obadiah_ | I'm trying to install the Oxford English Dictionary under wine. This is a two CD install. When it gets to the second CD it is unable to recognize the file. Is there any way around this? | 09:34 |
| MrBogus | any good tutorial for installing kubuntu? | 09:35 |
| warren_ | euhm, maybe your cd has some problem | 09:35 |
| harris_ | im really having NOSEBLEED with this linux....... HARD TIME but FUN | 09:35 |
| warren_ | harris_ : don't you understand?, it's quite simple | 09:35 |
| Dr_willis | whats so hard? :) | 09:35 |
| warren_ | harris_ : open adept and install kubuntu-restricted-eextras | 09:36 |
| Dr_willis | compared to the song and dance ive had to do with windows this week... I will take linux | 09:36 |
| harris_ | hardddddd....... running application.... | 09:36 |
| warren_ | well can't you use a mouse? :) | 09:36 |
| warren_ | harris_: open "adept" (in system) and install this: "kubuntu-restricted-extras" | 09:37 |
| Dr_willis | sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 09:37 |
| warren_ | restart your desktop and everything should work | 09:37 |
| harris_ | okayyyyy mr warren | 09:37 |
| harris_ | i can't open an .exe file | 09:37 |
| warren_ | no problem | 09:37 |
| harris_ | thats the problem I have installer | 09:37 |
| Dr_willis | harris_, where did you even GET a .exe from? | 09:37 |
| warren_ | that's a windows program then | 09:37 |
| Dr_willis | harris_, linux is not windows. :) is the core of the issue... | 09:38 |
| harris_ | most of my cd have .exe file | 09:38 |
| harris_ | OKAY | 09:38 |
| warren_ | well this is for windows users to test | 09:38 |
| Dr_willis | what exe is this anyway? | 09:38 |
| warren_ | firefox? ;) | 09:38 |
| harris_ | an exe file a flashplayer installer | 09:38 |
| warren_ | there are some windows programs on the cd to test on windows | 09:38 |
| harris_ | firefox | 09:38 |
| warren_ | ah ok | 09:38 |
| warren_ | no | 09:38 |
| Dr_willis | harris_, thats 100% the wrong way to install flash under ubuntu. | 09:38 |
| warren_ | install like i said above | 09:38 |
| harris_ | HOW | 09:39 |
| warren_ | with adept | 09:39 |
| warren_ | System -> Ademt | 09:39 |
| warren_ | Adept* | 09:39 |
| harris_ | okay | 09:39 |
| Dr_willis | to install flash i normally use the command -----------> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 09:39 |
| warren_ | and install flashplugin-nonfree | 09:39 |
| warren_ | well commands aren't recommended for new users | 09:39 |
| Dr_willis | or use the gui tool like warren_ is suggesting. It does basicially the same thing. | 09:39 |
| warren_ | yes | 09:39 |
| harris_ | in konsole mr willis | 09:39 |
| warren_ | use adept it's easier | 09:40 |
| harris_ | okay ill go to console | 09:40 |
| Dr_willis | its much faster to just cut/paste a command .. then to handhold/walk through a GUI series of menus. :) | 09:40 |
| warren_ | why making it difficult? | 09:40 |
| Dr_willis | assuming he has the repos set up.. this is.. heh. | 09:40 |
| === thumper-office is now known as thumper | ||
| warren_ | well normally they are set up during install, hope they are ;) | 09:40 |
| thumper | !scim-bridge | 09:40 |

| Dr_willis | the 'multiverse' repository may not be enabled by default. - some where in the 'adept' tool one can click a box to enable it. - you will then need to 'reload' the reposiutory listings, and then isntall the packages. | 09:43 |
| Dr_willis | I was thinkign the 'add/remove programs' icon opened a simpiler program that also allowed you to easially enable the extra repos and install things. | 09:44 |
| harris_ | WHHHHHEEWW I GET IT | 09:50 |
| Dr_willis | Now type in words.. the actions you took... :) | 09:50 |

| Dr_willis | theres many front ends to the apt system. | 09:50 |
| harris_ | so what is it | 09:50 |
| harris_ | what's its purpose? | 09:51 |
| Dr_willis | it lets you install things? | 09:51 |

| Dr_willis | :) | 09:53 |
| MrBogus | harris_: you learn c/c++ | 09:53 |

| harris_ | i want some windows application programming | 09:54 |
| ubuntu__ | #kubuntu-de | 09:54 |

| MrBogus | Perl | 09:54 |
| harris_ | hehehehehhehehehe Phyton can i program windows app with Phyton | 09:54 |
| Dr_willis | Perl is good also. :) | 09:54 |
| Dr_willis | harris_, same with perl, ruby, and many other languages also. | 09:55 |
| Dr_willis | Most all the languages have gui extensions/features. | 09:55 |
| Dr_willis | harris_, or you write a 'frontend' to the app if its command line only :) thers that word again! | 09:55 |
| MrBogus | harris_: it depends on your interest and what are you wanted to do. | 09:56 |
| harris_ | windows application | 09:56 |
| Dr_willis | harris_, how... vague | 09:56 |
| Dr_willis | You mean apps with 'gui's' ? | 09:56 |

| Dr_willis | Theres several 'widget' systems out. karamba, desklets, kde4 has its own system. | 09:58 |
| harris_ | okayyyyyyyyyy windows application - GUI - simple programs lyk games | 09:59 |
| Dr_willis | and proberly a dozen more i cant rember. | 09:59 |
| Dr_willis | harris_, i would say start learning some python, it can do games. | 09:59 |
| rydan | I need to be more specific. The built in widget function in kde4. can these be docked? | 09:59 |
| harris_ | really! | 09:59 |
| Dr_willis | rydan, heh.. I dont know that much about kde4 - its a work in progress. | 09:59 |

| Dr_willis | Helloo. | 11:44 |
| ElVirolo | i have a strange problem with kde 3.5.9 (kubuntu hardy) : the icons on my destkop are actually the directories from / (/usr, /bin, /var, etc.) while my ~/Desktop directory contains completely different files (obviously) ... why is that ? | 11:44 |
| Dr_willis | ElVirolo, are /usr and /var on their own filesystem? | 11:44 |
| ElVirolo | Dr_willis: nope | 11:45 |
| ElVirolo | they're on / | 11:45 |
| Dr_willis | ElVirolo, and if you look in ~/Desktop they are not showing up in there? | 11:45 |
| ElVirolo | Dr_willis: no | 11:45 |
| Dr_willis | That is weird. | 11:46 |
| Dr_willis | but you can click in the /usr icon on the desktop and it goes to /usr? | 11:46 |
| ElVirolo | I've been told on #kde that this is a kown kubuntu problem | 11:46 |
| Dr_willis | First ive ever heard of the problem | 11:46 |
| ElVirolo | Dr_willis: yes, it does. isn't that strange ? | 11:46 |

| ElVirolo | Dr_willis: good idea, i'll try that a bit later | 11:48 |
| ElVirolo | thanks anyway :) | 11:48 |

| codeRat | hi, I'm trying to install a file trough konsole. I get this error "/bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory". I checked the file with vim and there does not seem to be any strange finishing of the line | 11:49 |
| Dr_willis | codeRat, you need to use an editor like fte, or others tht can show those control characters. | 11:49 |
| Dr_willis | codeRat, ive had similer issues with gettting files from windows/notepad.exe. you could track down a dos2unix converter script. or some other cr/lf converter tool. | 11:50 |
| Dr_willis | codeRat, i would imagine that EVERY line in the file has that issue. | 11:50 |
| codeRat | Dr_willis: does those converters work wtih binarfiles too? | 11:51 |
| Dr_willis | binary files? err.. No.. that wouldent make sence. | 11:51 |
| Dr_willis | and most likely break the binary file badly | 11:52 |

| Dr_willis | codeRat, where did this file come from? | 12:00 |
| Dr_willis | kate may be saying its binary because of the extra characters in it | 12:00 |
| Dr_willis | if its truely a binary file. I dont think it would begin eith #!/bin/sh | 12:01 |
| kaizer | hi | 12:01 |
| codeRat | even if I open it vim I see a lot of strange characters. There are some lines at the beginning of the file like #!/bin/sh.. | 12:02 |
| Dr_willis | codeRat, sounds to me like the file is totally messed up then. | 12:02 |
| codeRat | it's a file to install f-secure antivirus :S | 12:03 |
| jussio1 | codeRat: definately binary... | 12:03 |

| veyron | atle: there is a output for eth0? | 14:25 |
| BluesKaj | xanax`, yeah i've trying to get an answer to that question for a week now , since google earth went beta and now requires permissin to launch from the /opt/google-earth file | 14:25 |
| atle | Veryon: only when using -a | 14:25 |
| harris | heyyyyy python is easyyyyyyy | 14:26 |
| harris | for basic | 14:26 |
| flipstar | BluesKaj: why dont you install as user / give the file user permissions ? | 14:26 |
| atle | had a problem with sudo not working, could that influence the netwiormanager in any way? | 14:27 |
| veyron | there are a lot of configurable things when setting up eth0 in cmd;-) | 14:27 |
| atle | well, up untill now it has just worked, only thing i did was upgrade to 8.04 | 14:27 |
| BluesKaj | flipstar, it won't install as user , has to be sudo'd | 14:27 |
| flipstar | BluesKaj: are you using the binary from earth.google.com or the ubuntu installer ? | 14:28 |
| BluesKaj | flipstar, the binary | 14:30 |

| flipstar | hm i always had trouble with it..i'm using the 'googleearth-package' | 14:31 |
| jussio1 | good afternoon wolfger | 14:31 |
| BluesKaj | flipstar, I would have used the ubuntu installer if there was one . | 14:31 |
| wolfger | Am I the only one having severe CPU usage problem with Amarok in Hardy? | 14:31 |
| jussio1 | BluesKaj: isnt google earth in medibuntu? | 14:31 |
| flipstar | BluesKaj: just install googleearth-package and type make-googleearth-package | 14:31 |
| flipstar | it will create a .deb | 14:32 |
| BluesKaj | flipstar, really eh ? | 14:32 |
| HARRIZ | hello | 14:32 |
| snikker | my nvidia settings (config with nvidia-settings) are not applyed at reboot. how can i fix this? | 14:32 |

| flipstar | BluesKaj: it's basicly the same since it uses also the binary..but runs somehow better here | 14:33 |
| Romnous | :D | 14:33 |
| xanax` | when I add new repositories to the "adept repositories configuration window", it doesn't display new added entries. Has anyone noticed the same behaviour ? | 14:33 |
| Romnous | will 8.10 be KDE4 only ? | 14:33 |
| flipstar | snikker: run nvidia-settings as root and click on save to xorg.conf | 14:33 |
| ari_ | anyway to edit the panel kicker? change the background etc? | 14:34 |
| romanstefan | yes xanax i had the same | 14:34 |
| snikker | flipstar: i've do it as root and saved (it's write correctly in xorg.conf), but this settings are not loaded after reboot | 14:35 |
| flipstar | snikker: make also sure you don't melt it with the existent | 14:35 |
| ari_ | I was talking about in KDE4 | 14:36 |
| snikker | flipstar: i've set 1024x768 85Mhz (values from monitor user's guide) but at reboot set me at 75mhz | 14:36 |
| snikker | flipstar: mhz --> hz | 14:37 |
| flipstar | snikker: so the values in xorg.conf are correct ? | 14:37 |
| snikker | flipstar: yes i think that are correct | 14:38 |
| Romnous | will 8.10 be KDE4 only ? | 14:38 |
| flipstar | snikker: it should be HorizSync 30.0 - 98.0 and VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0 | 14:38 |
| xanax` | there is two versions of kubuntu, Romnous | 14:38 |
| Romnous | xanax`, i know | 14:38 |
| Romnous | but most of the applications aren't ported to kde4 afaik | 14:38 |
| Romnous | so i'm wondering, if the next release will be kde4 only | 14:39 |
| === sean_ is now known as psyco | ||

| xanax` | when will be the next official version of ubuntu ? next year ? then maybe most of applications will have been updated to kde 4 at this time. | 14:40 |
| Romnous | flipstar, oh i will :) | 14:40 |

| flipstar | that's cool :) if it's a very small problem i also could help you i think | 15:22 |
| okv | flipstar: I found a solution now. I had to remove xgl | 15:26 |
| okv | flipstar: I removed package called xserver-xgl or something like that and restarted the system, now it runs smoothly and refreshes screen normally | 15:27 |
| BluesKaj | okv, what card ? | 15:28 |
| okv | BluesKaj: Intel's integrated, 965 or something like that | 15:31 |

| === ubuntu is now known as STREENG | ||
| flipstar | okv: maybe use the beta of opera | 15:34 |
| flipstar | you can grab it from www.opera.com | 15:34 |

| BluesKaj | I just installed opera with apt..gonna check | 15:34 |
| okv | I prefer to use the versions that come from repo if at all possible | 15:34 |
| flipstar | somehow probably yes | 15:34 |
| flipstar | okv: first, is the flashplugin listed in opera ? | 15:35 |
| okv | yes | 15:35 |
| okv | I checked opera:plugins and it's there, | 15:35 |
| okv | /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so <-- this is listed in opera:plugins | 15:36 |

| snikker | how i can change the resolution of kdm (post login screen)? | 15:37 |

| spiroo | Does somebody in here has experience with apache2 configuration? I do not get any answer in apache or ubuntu-server channel :( | 15:41 |
| okv | Weird thing is, thoug, that it used to work with older Opera before I upgraded to 8.04 | 15:41 |
| flipstar | okv: it works great with the beta..and they even provide .deb's | 15:41 |
| flipstar | spiroo: whats the problem ? | 15:41 |
| okv | Shouuld Opera's plugin path include /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins? | 15:42 |
| spiroo | flipstar: I cannot access root when I am going to http://localhost, then It seems it does not read my .htaccess file. | 15:42 |
| okv | I just noticed that those paths are included in Opera's plugin path | 15:43 |
| Dfizzle | Lo. I've just installed 8.04. However, this is not in the languange I chose, and whenever I try apt-get install, it gives me "packet not found". I tried reinstalling but did the same. Any suggestions? | 15:43 |

| flipstar | spiroo: you have the file mentioned under AccessFileName ? | 15:44 |

| spiroo | flipstar: I have all files. Not sure what you mean with AccessFileName though. | 15:45 |
| flipstar | spiroo: you have to give the path of the htaccess files in the config if it's a none standart path | 15:45 |
| flipstar | spiroo: that's an entry in the apache2.config file | 15:45 |
| Dfizzle | flipstar: theres no languange and adept :| | 15:46 |
| spiroo | flipstar: Yes it says: "AccessFileName .htaccess" | 15:46 |
| flipstar | Dfizzle: you definitive can choose the language from systemsettings>language | 15:47 |
| Dfizzle | theres only one languange | 15:47 |
| Dfizzle | US english | 15:47 |
| flipstar | Dfizzle: than add another | 15:47 |
| spiroo | flipstar: But it should work without editting in there. I have getting this problem before. I do not remeber though how to solve it :( If i remember right, I should edit something in sites-enabled for apache2. | 15:47 |

| flipstar | spiroo: of corse you can change the default directory .. | 16:09 |
| kicco | okv+flipstar: it happened to me also and i added the vga parameter | 16:10 |
| okv | BluesKaj: I tried other sites as well, like liveleak.com and even Adobe's plugin-test-site. It seems the flashplugin just doesn't work with the latest version of Opera that comes up with 8.04 | 16:10 |
| flipstar | kicco: i had to remove it :p | 16:10 |

| flipstar | kicco: yes..a huge one but it's solved already | 16:11 |
| spiroo | flipstar: How do you mean? | 16:11 |
| flipstar | spiroo: you can change the default dir in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default | 16:11 |
| BluesKaj | Xerxes, yes but the point is does it work in hardy ? | 16:12 |
| flipstar | spiroo: it will search in the place you enter after DocumentRoot for an index file then | 16:12 |
| Xerxes | BluesKaj...Uhh...Sorry I am still on Gutsy.So can't check it out.:( | 16:13 |
| spiroo | flipstar: it shall not search for an index file at all. | 16:13 |

| ralph | How does one debug knetworkmanager issues? What log file does it write to for example? It sees the WAP but supplying WEP and ESSID doesn't work. It doesn't connect. | 16:35 |
| MilitantPotato | Hey all, did a fresh install of Hardy, but my /dev/hda (location of /)has become /dev/sdc It's a PATA drive, not a SATA aswell. Any idea how I can get the drives in order? I have 1 PATA (Pri master) and two SATA (channel 2 and 4.) | 16:36 |
| BluesKaj | TheGentleman, try upgrading with adept , click on "Version Upgrade" | 16:37 |
| ralph | MilitantPotato: don't think you can unless your motherboard supports EDD. Try `dmesg | grep -i edd'. | 16:37 |
| Jucato | MilitantPotato: I think the kernel (or something) have all migrated to using sda, no matter what type of drive | 16:38 |
| gothicd3vil | hi, how can i upgrade from ubuntu to kubuntu? | 16:38 |
| MilitantPotato | Jucato: how does that effect the performance of ATA? | 16:38 |

| TheGentleman | BluesKaj, I know i can do it that way, but it would take hours.... I have a freshly burnt alternate cd at hand and i find stupid to use precious bandwith in this case | 16:39 |
| MilitantPotato | gothicd3vil: if you want to keep Ubuntu, just install kubuntu-desktop | 16:39 |
| Jucato | MilitantPotato: not really afaik | 16:39 |
| gothicd3vil | and if i want to delete ubuntu? | 16:40 |
| MilitantPotato | It all seems to be working well, guess I'll adjust :) | 16:40 |

| TheGentleman | It's not the CD itself BluesKaj . It was md5sum checked and verified after K3B burning and it is ok. Only it does not appear as mounted like said in official instructions | 16:41 |
| TheGentleman | MilitantPotato, yes! | 16:41 |

| MilitantPotato | then run upgrade command without the path | 16:43 |
| TheGentleman | it is not MilitantPotato: it gets mounted as /media/Kubuntu 8.04 i386 (with spaces) | 16:43 |
| kicco | spiroo: with php plugin... don't remeber the name | 16:43 |
| kicco | spiroo: most of time i use vim | 16:44 |
| spiroo | kicco: Hmm okay, I try it out. Do you know aboyt Zend Studio? | 16:44 |
| MilitantPotato | TheGentleman: Ok, head to that directory in terminal | 16:44 |
| ralph | MilitantPotato: was there a "EDD information not available." line too? | 16:44 |
| kicco | spiroo: i knew i cotst too much for what it does, but i never used it | 16:45 |
| MilitantPotato | Yes Ralph | 16:45 |
| TheGentleman | you can't use spaces in terminal command MilitantPotato | 16:45 |
| MilitantPotato | TheGentleman: Enter it w/ quotes? | 16:45 |
| MilitantPotato | TheGentleman: or type cd /media/Ku (then hit tab) | 16:45 |
| MilitantPotato | that may work. | 16:46 |
| TheGentleman | ok, will try that, thanks MilitantPotato | 16:46 |
| spiroo | kicco: Well, thats a hell of a editor :D Wondering if there is something like that? | 16:46 |
| ralph | MilitantPotato: ok, that means your BIOS, like the huge majority, doesn't support EDD and that's the only way the BIOS and Linux can agree on the order of block devices. | 16:46 |
| ralph | MilitantPotato: it causes all sorts of grub install problems. | 16:46 |
| TheGentleman | Anyway, instructions given at Kubuntu website are misleading and incorrect! | 16:46 |
| MilitantPotato | TheGentleman: or, open the CD rom drive with dolphin, and click the "open a terminal" here | 16:47 |
| MilitantPotato | ralph: would that be why I got a busy box trying to do an upgrade during boot? | 16:47 |
| warren_ | hi | 16:48 |
| TheGentleman | MilitantPotato, I already tryed issuieng the command cdromupgrade command from dolphin using "Run as Root" | 16:48 |

| nosrednaekim | wolfear: ah.... it freezes when you logout? | 16:53 |
| alpaco | robotgeek: my bookmarks file is around 10 years old and I have categorized bookmarks in different areas | 16:54 |

| TheGentleman | MilitantPotato, can you please have a look at http://paste-it.net/public/oaf9b1d/ about my "command not found" problem? | 16:55 |
| wolfear | nosrednaekim: the freeze is unrelated to the pager problem. But they occur randomly. They have been discussed on the Ubuntu forums a lot already. | 16:55 |
| nosrednaekim | wolfear: ok... what you have to do is setthe pager how you like, then log out | 16:56 |
| BluesKaj | wolfear, is hardy freezing at logout ? | 16:56 |
| wolfear | nosrednaekim: that all..wow. cool | 16:56 |
| wolfear | Blues: not at logout. they just occur randomly. | 16:57 |
| nosrednaekim | wolfear: and that should save the settings despite freezes | 16:57 |
| robotgeek | TheGentleman: try sudo ./cdromupgrade instead | 16:57 |
| MilitantPotato | TheGentleman: use sudo ./cdromupgrade | 16:57 |
| robotgeek | TheGentleman: however, I think you should be doing this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades/Kubuntu | 16:58 |
| MilitantPotato | cdromupgrade is a script file, it needs ./ to run | 16:58 |
| wolfear | nosrednaekim: thanks | 16:58 |

| BluesKaj | robotgeek, not sure that it works everytime | 17:07 |
| flipstar | okv: i already had it with gutsy..but hardy solved it..seems very individual | 17:07 |

| alpaco | what virtualizers are available for hardy? | 17:09 |
| robotgeek | TheGentleman: :) | 17:09 |
| Dragnslcr | robotgeek- I had the same problem trying to run the upgrade off the DVD. I'd get "Command not found" even though I could see that /cdrom/cdromupgrade existed | 17:09 |
| nosrednaekim | alpaco: virtualbox, kvm, qemu | 17:10 |
| Dragnslcr | Eventually I managed to get "Permission denied" errors instead, even when trying to run it with kdesu | 17:10 |
| robotgeek | Dragnslcr: how did you solve? | 17:10 |
| flipstar | Dragnslcr: that might coused becorse the file isn't executeable..? | 17:11 |
| alpaco | nosrednaekim: i don't see any of them in the repos | 17:11 |
| alpaco | nosrednaekim: my universe repo is enabled | 17:11 |

| okv | flipstar: Yep. That's ok, though, as I now tested this yakuake which someone recommended me few days ago. It'll replace the tty's nicely for me | 17:15 |
| flipstar | okv: did you had this trouble before installing yakuake ? | 17:16 |
| okv | flipstar: I installed yakuake a minute ago | 17:16 |
| robotgeek | i've begin to like konsole. i am moving from rxvt-unicode | 17:16 |
| Dragnslcr | flipstar- no, it was definitely executable | 17:16 |
| Dragnslcr | robotgeek- I eventually gave up and ran the upgrade through Adept instead | 17:17 |
| okv | flipstar: Today earlier I upgraded to 8.04 and the "no signal" problem started immediately after | 17:17 |
| robotgeek | Dragnslcr: ah okay. | 17:17 |
| okv | flipstar: But now as I don't seem to find any way to fix it, although I've tried some solutions that I found here and online, I just decided to install this "yakuake" which I have heard about before, which is handy for those who use console alot | 17:17 |
| TheGentleman | robotgeek, Dragnslcr MilitantPotato I can't understand if my problem is a bug in the upgrade or an incorrect mount of the CD in some way | 17:18 |
| Dragnslcr | robotgeek- I was just trying to be nice and save the servers a little bandwidth, since I had already gotten the DVD through the torrent anyway | 17:18 |
| MilitantPotato | TheGentleman: unmount the cdrom, then mount it to a folder w/o spaces | 17:18 |
| flipstar | okv: it's still bad to have no tty's ..maybe try some of the tips in the launchpad thread | 17:18 |
| Dragnslcr | TheGentleman- you may try asking in the forums. I had the same problem you did, and I don't know of anyone that's used the disc to upgrade | 17:19 |
| flipstar | Dragnslcr: you probably could app the dvd to the sources | 17:19 |

| contrast83 | kubuntu: KMenu -> System -> Konsole -> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 17:49 |
| arrrghhh | kubuntu, get kubuntu-restricted-extras | 17:49 |

| contrast83 | kubuntu: ^ | 17:50 |
| will00 | robotgeek: so far i cant, so i dont know how to get that working | 17:50 |
| robotgeek | BluesKaj: i am guessing that libdvdcss2 is only available in medibuntu, (see also kubuntu ) | 17:50 |
| BluesKaj | contrast83, not aware of that , I thought it was still required | 17:51 |
| robotgeek | will00: how do you access it now, say from linux? | 17:51 |
| contrast83 | Leeuw: Not that I'm aware of, without a clean reinstall at least. I'd recommend making a seperate partition for /home if that's the route you decide to take, so next time all your personal files and settings will still be in place. | 17:51 |
| will00 | oh i go /media/Movies | 17:51 |
| arrrghhh | hey so i got x11vnc running at startup on my kubuntu install but i can't remember how i did it... it's not in ~/.kde/Autostart, /etc/init.d, /etc/rc.local, any of the /etc/rc.*d files... i don't remember how i added it to the startup now! | 17:51 |

| will00 | no | 17:51 |
| BluesKaj | kubuntu, Open adept package manager, On the menu of that screen you will want to click on Adept -> Manage Repositories, click the kubuntu software tab, check all the boxes "X",same goes for the third party software tab. Close,and then in the terminal "sudo apt-get update".Now you have more sources for applications other than the defaults that came with Kubuntu. | 17:51 |

| === vale is now known as vale_ | ||
| contrast83 | arrrghhh: And you are closing it before you log out, right? | 17:52 |
| Jucato | !autostart | 17:52 |
| ubotu | To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. For a complete guide, see http://jucato.org/kde/kde-autostart.html | 17:52 |
| contrast83 | arrrghhh: And just FYI, /etc/init.d/ only contains scripts for when your computer's booting up and shutting down, not for when you log in. ;-) | 17:52 |
| arrrghhh | ah good to know | 17:52 |
| arrrghhh | i was just checking places i thought it could be started.. | 17:53 |
| Leeuw | contrast83: I have a seperate home, also a separate usr; will that effect in also having all my extra programs still there ? And do I have to do anything special except for mounting the partition as home again (and usr if it' s possible) and not format it ? | 17:53 |
| arrrghhh | and it's not in /usr/share/autostart... | 17:53 |
| robotgeek | gotta go now, later. (/away 's) | 17:53 |
| Jucato | arrrghhh: if you left it open when you logged out, it will be restarted when you login | 17:53 |
| contrast83 | Leeuw: Well, I'd recommend formatting /usr when you reinstall, just to make sure you clean out whatever's causing you problems. | 17:54 |
| arrrghhh | i have it create a fresh desktop every time tho | 17:54 |
| paran | contrast83: you can use the package "gpart" to search your devices for filesystems and guess what the partition table should be | 17:54 |
| arrrghhh | i don't have it restore programs by default | 17:54 |
| contrast83 | paran: Awesome, thanks a lot... I was wondering if gparted would do it. | 17:54 |
| arrrghhh | "start with empty session" is what i have it set to | 17:55 |
| paran | contrast83: not gparted, this is another program | 17:55 |
| Leeuw | contrast83: that makes sense, but would make for a lot of hassle... but I could live with that.. Another question: if I give same user and same password at install, will the original home-folder still beaccessible by that user, or will it be a 'user1' added to original 'user' (like windoze) ? | 17:55 |
| contrast83 | paran: Ahh, ok... Installable from the live CD? | 17:55 |
| contrast83 | Leeuw: Still accessible... Are you familiar with apt-get dselect-upgrade? | 17:56 |
| paran | contrast83: it is probably not on there, but as long as you have network you can just apt-get install it | 17:56 |
| Leeuw | contrast83: also, if all settings from home are still there, couldn' t the problem be in there ? | 17:56 |
| contrast83 | paran: Right... Sweet, thanks. | 17:56 |
| arrrghhh | hrm seems i can't continue troubleshooting now... thanks tho i'll use that webpage for reference | 17:56 |
| Leeuw | contrast83: not familiar | 17:56 |
| Leeuw | contrast83: I installed a fresh hardy | 17:57 |
| contrast83 | Leeuw: Possibly. What exactly is the problem? | 17:57 |
| Leeuw | let me copy the specified question that describes it, just a minut | 17:57 |
| Leeuw | contrast83: this is it: I ticked to 'off' some setting in KDE that said something like 'scan KDE at boot' , it had a warning that after changing the system it could break things; I forogot about it, did a lot of tweaking, and then the troubles began; missing start-menu (xcuse win-terminology), and trouble with IRC on Kopete, among other stufff; sys seeems right now again, but kopete keeps crashing X on initiating an IRC-channel;... I can' t find tha | 17:57 |
| Leeuw | contrast83: I don' tknow if it IS related to that particular setting, could be something else, just my strongest hunch | 17:58 |
| contrast83 | Leeuw: Try moving ~/.kde to ~/kde, log out and in, and see if the problems persist. That'll reset the settings for KDE (and *all* KDE programs) to the defaults. | 17:59 |
| Leeuw | contrast83: I googled for it aand asked several times here, no solution, that's why I thought reset and get it over with | 17:59 |
| contrast83 | Leeuw: I'm pretty sure that would fix it. | 17:59 |
| BluesKaj | Leeuw, you can start with , sudo dpkg --configure -a to see what pops up if anything | 18:00 |
| contrast83 | Leeuw: If there are any KDE programs whose configs you're confident are okay, you can just copy them back into ~/.kde/share/config (rc files) and ~/.kde/share/apps (program folders) | 18:00 |
| Leeuw | contrast83: That is a GREAT suggestion, I will try that; eh, sudo dpkg --conf etc does what ? | 18:00 |
| contrast83 | BluesKaj: How would a setting he changed in KDE affect package management? -_~ | 18:01 |
| Leeuw | BluesKaj: h, sudo dpkg --conf etc does what ? | 18:01 |
| BluesKaj | cleans up hanging dependencies | 18:01 |
| contrast83 | Leeuw: That's just a lower-level form of apt-get install -f for when that fails. It basically tries to resolve any issues with broken packages and dependencies, but I don't know what that would have to do with your problem. | 18:02 |
| Leeuw | BluesKaj: that should fix stuff too.. will try both | 18:02 |
| BluesKaj | well, if he was installing updated pkgs with the cd or the net install | 18:03 |
| contrast83 | Dselect Magic Trick for when you have to reinstall (requires a seperate home partition): 1) before reinstall: /home/leeuwdpkg --get-selections > ~/installed-packages 2) after reinstall: dpkg --set-selections < /home/leeuw/installed-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade | 18:03 |
| contrast83 | Run the ones in (2) as root (sudo su) - sudo alone doesn't work with redirects (<, >) | 18:03 |
| contrast83 | apt-get dselect-upgrade is quite a gem. Seems not many people know about it, sadly. | 18:04 |
| contrast83 | Synaptic actually provides somewhat of a frontend for it - it can save the package states to a file (as in step 1), then read the markings from the file and you can apply them from there (as in step 2) | 18:05 |
| contrast83 | Well I'm off to fix my friend's computer before she kills me. Thanks again, paran | 18:07 |
| contrast83 | Peace, y'all. | 18:07 |
| Leeuw | contrast83: BluesKaj will try first the 'reset, if that doesn' t do it the dpkg thing (might do that anyway, couldn' t hurt right ?), and see what gives... Thanx for advice, have to go in a minute, will try in a couple of hours and let you know if still there, thanx ! | 18:08 |
| BluesKaj | ok Leeuw, good luck ! | 18:09 |

| xenol | hello, plz how can i stop the init script from starting at machine boot up? | 18:58 |
| jmichaelx | i may be mistaken, but it seems to me that the amarok i have installed came down from medibuntu, which i found odd | 18:59 |
| p_quarles | xenol, that is a very strange question -- why do you want to do that? | 19:00 |
| flipstar | (how) can i change the kmenu background ? | 19:00 |

| xenol | p_quarles: cause i want to have them under control | 19:02 |
| p_quarles | was meant for jmichaelx | 19:02 |
| SlimeyPete | Berzerker: why beryl? Beryl's been dead for months | 19:02 |
| Berzerker | I remember it worked better than compiz | 19:02 |
| Berzerker | and compiz is shotty on 8.04 now. | 19:02 |
| SlimeyPete | Berzerker: compiz is also dead. Compiz-fusion is default on hardy and it is the offspring of beryl and compiz. | 19:03 |
| ejupin | When I start kde4 i get a black screen, however I can hear sound so it is starting. I must a wrong setting? | 19:03 |
| jmichaelx | yes, it appears that amarok came from medibuntu... i wonder if downgrading to the actual canonical package would fix things | 19:03 |
| jhutchins | SlimeyPete: actually, according to the web site, Compiz is not dead. | 19:03 |
| Berzerker | SlimeyPete: what's what I meant. | 19:03 |
| Berzerker | that's* | 19:03 |
| jmichaelx | sometimes medibuntu screws things up | 19:03 |
| Berzerker | I just called it compiz for short. | 19:03 |

| dwidmann | Jack111: are you installing from a repository?? Looks like a packaging messup ... Might be *easier* to install using the *.deb from the Skype website. | 19:40 |
| martijn81 | dwidmann: he is on an ibook, an laptop.... | 19:40 |
| Jack111 | dwidmann: yes, i added one to the sources.list.. | 19:41 |
| Ketrel | dwidmann: trying that now | 19:41 |
| dwidmann | Jack111: that or there are two different versions, Is skype-common and skype the same version? | 19:41 |
| dwidmann | martijn81: I presume that would make it non-compatible with other laptop hard drives? Or would it? | 19:41 |
| Jack111 | dwidmann: apt-get shows me them as different ones, but only skype common doesnt work for me..so i installed the other one which triggered the complaint, i now did autoremove | 19:42 |
| dwidmann | martijn81: If it's IDE or SATA could get a decent one off of newegg for cheap | 19:42 |
| dwidmann | Jack111: I'd try removing both of them and then trying to install skype | 19:42 |
| Jack111 | dwidmann: it says now same version is available in a software channel you are recommended to use that version | 19:44 |
| Ketrel | Do I need to reboot or restart X for that to take effect dwidmann, or does it happen instantly? | 19:44 |

| DarkShinigami | With Virtual Box, how do I use one of the OSs as my "foundation"? | 19:47 |
| DarkShinigami | Foundation - the basis for which is ground zero of a new OS install | 19:48 |
| Ketrel | Unrelated question, is there any way to get to a pure console? | 19:48 |
| Ketrel | I tried choosing Console Login from the login screen, but X just seems to restart. | 19:49 |
| DarkShinigami | CTRL+ALT+[F1-F6] | 19:49 |
| Jack111 | dwidmann: still setting up | 19:49 |
| fdoving | DarkShinigami: copy the virtual disk-file? | 19:49 |
| DarkShinigami | fdoving: I have an OS just the way I want it for fresh installs. I want to keep duplicating this install if necessary. | 19:50 |
| Ketrel | DarkShinigami was that at me? | 19:50 |
| DarkShinigami | Ketrel: Yes | 19:51 |
| Ketrel | Because pressing that just gives me a blank screen | 19:51 |
| Ketrel | And I can't get back to KDM | 19:51 |
| DarkShinigami | Ketrel: You should be asked for login. If you want to return to a GUI, use [F7-F12] | 19:51 |
| dwidmann | Ketrel: and if it doesn't seem to want to go back to kdm, you could try "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart" | 19:52 |
| Ketrel | ctrl+alt+f9 brings me back to KDM, and I couldn't use the sudo command because I'm NOT getting a console, just a blank screen | 19:52 |
| DarkShinigami | dwidmann: That won't work if it's just a blank screen. He's not getting a logon screen. | 19:52 |
| dwidmann | DarkShinigami: not even on vt1-6? Ouch, well that just sucks to be Ketrel :( | 19:53 |
| flipstar | Ketrel: maybe removing the vga=xxx line in menu.lst will get you the tty's back | 19:53 |
| DarkShinigami | Well, yeah, but what can you do? Something seems to be off with video settings. | 19:53 |
| DarkShinigami | I recall when CLI was huge, block text. It was like being zoomed into CLI's top left corner. | 19:55 |
| Ketrel | flipstar, I have not vga line | 19:55 |
| DarkShinigami | Correction, recall when MY CLI ... | 19:55 |
| Ketrel | So there's no way I can get to a console then? | 19:56 |
| DarkShinigami | If you are in GUI, why not use Konsole? | 19:56 |
| === fabi is now known as aceta | ||
| DarkShinigami | I use Yakuake, but it's still CLI | 19:56 |

| flipstar | Ketrel: here are more tips: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/129910 | 19:58 |
| okv | Ketrel: I have the same problem | 19:59 |
| okv | Ketrel: The problem started when I upgraded to 8.04.. I've tried everything but haven't managed to fix it yet | 20:00 |
| okv | Ketrel: The problem seems to be somehow related to X, since I don't boot directly to X and the consoles work nicely after I boot. However, when I start x with "startx" command, all consoles stop working and I get blank screen and "no signal" on screen whenever I switch to CTRL+ALT+F1 or any other | 20:01 |
| Ketrel | okv, I'm going to assume it's a bug then, is it reported already? | 20:02 |
| flipstar | okv: i guess you didn't edited /etc/initramfs-tools/modules or /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer ? | 20:02 |
| okv | Ketrel: It's old bug that has been in older versions but has been reported to be "fixed" now, but it seems it's not fixed in many machines | 20:02 |
| Ketrel | so they're ignoring it then, or it just has to be reopened? | 20:03 |
| okv | Ketrel: Some people reported that they have got it fixed when new version came out, for me it was opposite. It worked perfectly always before, but since I upgraded to 8.04 it stopped working | 20:03 |
| flipstar | it worked some time with this workaround https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/129910/comments/277 but then it was fixed for me | 20:03 |
| okv | flipstar: I didn't edit those, was that also in that page? | 20:04 |
| okv | flipstar: I think the problem is different though, because they work perfectly after I boot, only after I start x they stop working | 20:04 |
| flipstar | i had the same once | 20:05 |
| Ketrel | okv if that's the case, how could I get X not to start automatically? | 20:06 |
| dwidmann | okv: Ketrel what video cards & associated drivers do you use (I'm curious) | 20:06 |
| Ketrel | nvidia geforce go 6600 (or 6800, I forget) and whatever the most recent nvidia driver in Hardy is | 20:07 |
| rooger | ok am back :) | 20:08 |
| dwidmann | Ketrel: I've heard the mobile nvidia cards are a bit flakey when compared to their desktop brethren | 20:09 |
| dwidmann | Ketrel: though, maybe using nvidia-glx instead of nvidia-glx-new would help? | 20:09 |
| okv | Ketrel: I can't remember. I googled for it before, it was by simlpy editing some file to prevent it from loading x automatically on boot. | 20:10 |
| dwidmann | Ketrel: (nvidia-glx is a somewhat old snapshot comparitively speaking, but if it works better it could be worthwhile) | 20:10 |
| okv | Ketrel: Maybe some other here remembers/knows how to make the system to boot without loading x automatically | 20:10 |
| okv | dwidmann: I have Intel 865VG or something like that, integrated graphics | 20:11 |
| dwidmann | okv: Ketrel: I'd probably stop kdm from starting, that'll stop x from starting, easiest way to do that would be to use sysv-rc-conf | 20:11 |
| okv | dwidmann: I don't know what drivers I use | 20:11 |
| dwidmann | okv: probably the "intel" driver | 20:11 |
| dwidmann | okv: you can kick yourself now :P | 20:11 |
| okv | dwidmann: Intel has commonly problems? | 20:12 |
| dwidmann | okv: I dunno | 20:12 |
| okv | dwidmann: Why the kick then? :) | 20:12 |
| dwidmann | okv: because it was soooo obvious | 20:12 |
| flipstar | btw where can i edit single icon's ? | 20:12 |
| okv | Yes I remember now, I stopped kdm from starting, can't remember how I did it though | 20:12 |
| okv | dwidmann: Which is obvious? | 20:12 |
| dwidmann | okv: that you would be using the "intel" driver wit the Intel 865VG card. | 20:13 |
| okv | dwidmann: Well, I don't know how many different drivers there are and how they are named.. I didn't know there is one single "intel" drivers for all intels, if that's the case | 20:13 |
| okv | dwidmann: But now I know :) | 20:13 |
| dwidmann | okv: well, there used to be an "i810" driver, I don't know if it's completely deprecated or not, or if it's still used for those really old ones ... | 20:14 |
| okv | dwidmann: I don't remember ever selecting a driver, except once for the X.. | 20:14 |
| okv | dwidmann: I guess it does it automatically | 20:15 |
| dwidmann | flipstar: icons? /usr/share/icons??? | 20:15 |
| Ketrel | well I'm going to be shopping for food soon, I'll ask again when I get back about stopping x from starting automatically | 20:15 |
| okv | Anyways, I just did some changes from the page flipstar gave, so I'll test if console started working, rebooting -> | 20:15 |
| === spiroo is now known as apache-n00b | ||

| shadowbox | is libdvdcss2 still the file to have to view dvd's? | 20:20 |
| dwidmann | flipstar: well, that's where it puts the icons, you can edit them with whatever you want, and you could get to /usr/share/icons with dolphin/konqueror/etc of course | 20:20 |

| flipstar | okv: wired with the no signal one else i would mentioned you could run setupcon in a tty | 20:22 |

| MilitantPotato | Someone posted a link that fixed it | 20:25 |
| flipstar | dwidmann: there are not the icons i installed and in the .tar.gz package are only wired .svgz files | 20:25 |
| dwidmann | shadowbox: some of them do, many of them are still applicable | 20:25 |
| apache-n00b | flipstar: I cannot fix this. It is impossible it seems. I want to override the apache thinking to proceed even if it does not find a index file or Indexing. | 20:25 |
| ScorpKing | apache-n00b: a few people here use apache so explain your problem. maybe someone can help | 20:25 |
| apache-n00b | ScorpKing: Yes, I am tryng to ;) | 20:26 |

| MilitantPotato | Fixed my fglrx shutdown hang | 20:26 |
| apache-n00b | Would be glad if you do not ban me if I got annoying. | 20:26 |
| dwidmann | flipstar: ah, then that's wherever you put them ..... so, you'd probably want to edit them with something like inkscape then | 20:26 |
| shadowbox | I'm copy & pasting the commands they tell me to put into konsole and konsole tells me command not found | 20:26 |
| shadowbox | sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh | 20:27 |
| victorvall | are you freaks? | 20:27 |
| ScorpKing | apache-n00b: follow the COC and you won't be banned | 20:27 |
| dwidmann | MilitantPotato: good to hear that there's a fix, I'll pass that along when I see him again | 20:27 |
| apache-n00b | When I am going to /var/www (http://localhost) I got 403, Forbidden. Because it cannot find any index file, and indexing is turned off. I want the request to go forward to my .htaccess file which handle the request to /var/www/www/default.php | 20:27 |
| JoshOvki | victorvall: yes thank you | 20:27 |
| shadowbox | yeah, baby | 20:27 |
| apache-n00b | ScorpKing: COC? | 20:27 |

| DexterF | hi | 20:28 |
| JoshOvki | i have never acctualy read the CoC | 20:28 |
| apache-n00b | Here is what happening when I am going to root folder: http://pastebin.org/32379 | 20:29 |
| ScorpKing | apache-n00b: /etc/apache2/sites-available/default is where the default site config is. | 20:29 |
| DexterF | can someone tell me why copying a file to an NFS server draws almost all cpu power on a 2.2GHz chip? | 20:29 |
| apache-n00b | ScorpKing: Yes I know ;) Thanks anyway :) | 20:29 |
| apache-n00b | ScorpKing: I want to config so it could handle my request correct. I have Override All | 20:29 |
| ScorpKing | apache-n00b: you can change /var/www/ to /var/www/www/ | 20:29 |
| apache-n00b | ScorpKing: That would break my structure. My framework would not work. | 20:30 |
| serguma | hello | 20:30 |
| dwidmann | !investigate | 20:30 |
| ubotu | Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 20:30 |
| serguma | anybody there is willing to help me with a little problem? | 20:30 |
| apache-n00b | ScorpKing: I want the request always to proceed. This problem only happens if rewrite uri goes / only | 20:30 |
| JoshOvki | serguma: ask the problem and people will help | 20:31 |
| serguma | ok :), just trying to be polite | 20:31 |
| serguma | heheh | 20:31 |
| JoshOvki | serguma: fair enough, no one else is tho ;) | 20:31 |
| ScorpKing | apache-n00b: i would just put a link or index file in /var/www/ that points to /var/www/www/. also make sure all files in /var/www/ belongs to www-data | 20:31 |
| flipstar | apache-n00b: maybe make a link to /www/default.php ? | 20:31 |
| flipstar | dang too slow | 20:31 |
| apache-n00b | ScorpKing: Would not work at all. I shall explain why, just a sec | 20:32 |
| apache-n00b | flipstar: Same there. | 20:32 |
| serguma | well, my problem is that since I reinstalled kubuntu 8.04 kde 4 mix i can no longer execute some programs as superuser | 20:32 |
| serguma | for example, if I write sudo dolphin on the console | 20:32 |
| serguma | serguma@serguma-desktop:~$ sudo dolphin | 20:33 |
| serguma | sudo: dolphin: command not found | 20:33 |
| serguma | if I only write dolphin everything is OK | 20:33 |
| serguma | the same thing happens with kate, konqueror, etc... | 20:33 |
| JoshOvki | whats the graphical sudo command? | 20:33 |
| dwidmann | serguma: try kdesudo | 20:33 |
| serguma | and I wanted to make some file managing with a graphic interface, but I can't | 20:33 |
| apache-n00b | Well, this is what happens if the request goes to /var/www/default.php directly: My framework would think the request is /www which means it is first searching for www module which does not exists. Then it looks for www controller which not exist either. Last step is to get index file in default module. | 20:33 |
| DexterF | Kohlrabi: kdesu | 20:33 |
| serguma | dwidmann: same problem :( | 20:33 |
| ScorpKing | JoshOvki: or kdesudo | 20:33 |
| serguma | i've already tried | 20:33 |
| Kohlrabi | DexterF: huh? | 20:34 |
| ScorpKing | heh | 20:34 |
| dwidmann | serguma: try adding /usr/lib/kde4/bin to your path | 20:34 |
| DexterF | Kohlrabi: whoops. wrong nick | 20:34 |
| === Berzerke1 is now known as Berzerker | ||
| apache-n00b | ScorpKing, flipstar: So the ground model is like this: localhost/:module/:controller/:command/:params | 20:34 |
| ScorpKing | apache-n00b: why do you put everything in /var/www/www/ and not in /var/www/ ? | 20:34 |
| apache-n00b | The framework is build upon the request. I must get the / uri to get startpage. | 20:35 |
| dwidmann | serguma: probably at the beginning of the path .... something like PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/bin/:$PATH in your ~/.bashrc | 20:35 |
| DexterF | serguma: kdesu. but I guess sudo expects the full path then. try sudo /usr/bin/dolphin. if that does it, file a bug. | 20:35 |
| Berzerker | ok | 20:35 |
| Berzerker | well | 20:35 |
| Berzerker | apparently my sound doesn't work anymore | 20:35 |
| serguma | dwidmann: im a bit new at that :$ | 20:35 |
| DexterF | Berzerker: the device numbering for sound cards changed, I think. | 20:35 |
| dwidmann | serguma: should be copy+pastable | 20:35 |
| ScorpKing | apache-n00b: hmm.. sorry but that's beyond me | 20:36 |
| serguma | serguma@serguma-desktop:/usr/lib/kde4/bin$ kdesu /usr/bin/dolphin | 20:36 |
| serguma | sudo: /usr/bin/dolphin: command not found | 20:36 |
| apache-n00b | ScorpKing: I do not put everything in /var/www/www. Structure is that everything in www folder under /var/www has default.php, images, css and so on. libs contains my framework Smash, and app contains my website, which means all controllers, modules, templates and so on. | 20:36 |
| Berzerker | DexterF: ?? | 20:36 |
| sepeck | does kubuntu have a built in firewall and if so where do I look for the configurations settings? v8.,0.4 | 20:36 |
| flipstar | serguma: type which dolphin and then kdesu that path you gathered before | 20:36 |
| DexterF | Berzerker: used to start with 0, now its 1. you are talking about after an upgrade? | 20:37 |
| Berzerker | no | 20:37 |
| Berzerker | I just restarted before | 20:37 |
| Berzerker | and now my sound doesn't work | 20:37 |
| Berzerker | I'm on hardy | 20:37 |
| DexterF | Berzerker: more than one sound device? like onboard and card? | 20:37 |
| Berzerker | well I have onboard and line out | 20:37 |
| serguma | serguma@serguma-desktop:~$ which dolphin | 20:37 |
| serguma | /usr/lib/kde4/bin//dolphin | 20:37 |
| serguma | serguma@serguma-desktop:~$ kdesu /usr/lib/kde/bin//dolphin | 20:37 |
| serguma | sudo: /usr/lib/kde/bin//dolphin: command not found | 20:37 |
| Berzerker | both don't work | 20:37 |
| dwidmann | flipstar: seeing as it's dolphin we're talking about, and ?he's using kde4, it should definitely be /usr/lib/kde4/bin/dolphin | 20:37 |
| Berzerker | line out never worked | 20:37 |
| martijn81 | sepeck: kubuntu comes with iptables, there are numerous GUI's to configure it | 20:37 |
| Berzerker | (I'm on a laptop) | 20:38 |
| apache-n00b | ScorpKing: The funny thing is that I got this working before, but I do not remember how to. It is simple, that is for sure. It took ages to figure out whcih line I should edit before. But it was so long time ago I setup an apache server. | 20:38 |
| BluesKaj | strange i keep getting this error but the file is in the same dir as the app that I'm using to decode just as the tutorial instructs | 20:38 |
| sepeck | martijn81,k, thanks.... googling away | 20:38 |
| BluesKaj | config.status:625: error: cannot find input file: Makefile.in | 20:38 |
| serguma | dwidmann: where should I copy paste those commands you told me before? | 20:38 |
| martijn81 | sepeck: kmyfirewall is a well known | 20:38 |
| serguma | not luck this far :( | 20:38 |
| apache-n00b | ScorpKing: I thought it was AllowOverride All, but that only make .htaccess file possible, not the rest. | 20:38 |
| sepeck | martijn81, first hit on google too | 20:38 |
| dwidmann | serguma: add it as a new line in your ~/.bashrc file | 20:38 |
| martijn81 | but you have to have some knowledge of firewalles for that | 20:38 |
| DexterF | Berzerker: clueless. if there's an .asoundrc in home, rename it and see if you have sound then. if not, rename it back. | 20:38 |
| serguma | dwidmann: and where is it? | 20:39 |
| sepeck | martijn81, geting my ssh server setup again to avoid that silly websebce proxy at work :) | 20:39 |
| serguma | in home? | 20:39 |
| Berzerker | don't see .asoundrc | 20:39 |
| dwidmann | serguma: ~ = home | 20:39 |
| serguma | yeah, but using ls i don't see it | 20:39 |
| dwidmann | serguma: erm, ~ = $HOME | 20:39 |
| dwidmann | serguma: it's hidden | 20:39 |
| serguma | oops :$ | 20:39 |
| serguma | sorry, i'm quite new | 20:39 |
| serguma | is it owned by system? | 20:39 |
| apache-n00b | ScorpKing: Except this little issue, my framework is "perfect". Works like Zend Framework mostly. | 20:39 |
| dwidmann | serguma: files starting with a "." are hidden files | 20:39 |
| dwidmann | serguma: this one is owned by you. | 20:40 |
| ScorpKing | apache-n00b: all config is in /etc/apache2/. i also think you need to put www/ in front of anything you run in /var/www/www/. i'd start looking at the pages in /var/www/www/. they might try to access the files in /var/www/ wich does not exist | 20:40 |
| Berzerker | DexterF: How would I go about reinstalling the sound drivers? | 20:40 |
| serguma | ok, thx :) | 20:40 |
| ScorpKing | i have to go. cheers guys and have fun | 20:40 |
| dwidmann | will try scor | 20:41 |
| DexterF | Berzerker: not at all. either the kernel loaded the module or it didn't. lspci, see if it's there, then go hunting down which device a sound app tries to open with strace (see man page) | 20:41 |
| apache-n00b | ScorpKing: I am using the moodule Rewrite inside my .htaccess file. Which process every single request to /var/www/www/default.php. Then inside default.php my framework decide what to do from the uri. | 20:41 |
| Berzerker | audio device is there | 20:41 |
| serguma | dwidmann: so I copy the lines at the beginning? | 20:41 |
| dwidmann | serguma: the end would probably be most appropriate | 20:42 |
| serguma | dwidmann: yeah, you're right | 20:42 |
| serguma | done | 20:42 |
| serguma | what next? | 20:42 |
| dwidmann | serguma: log out, log back in | 20:42 |
| rohan | how do i get cdrom's to mount at a specific location? whenever i insert a cdrom, it creates a new directory in /media, called "Transcend", or whatever the label of the CD is | 20:43 |
| marc0s | hi | 20:43 |
| serguma | ok, brb :) | 20:43 |
| rohan | could someone please check their default fstab and tell me whether an entry for cdrom exists? | 20:43 |
| marc0s | rohan: yes i have one for the cdrom | 20:43 |
| DexterF | I wonder if there will be an Ubuntu release ever that doesn't mess up somebody's sound | 20:43 |
| DexterF | I doubt it. | 20:43 |
| rohan | marc0s: can you please paste that line | 20:43 |
| rohan | DexterF: which card do you have? | 20:44 |
| marc0s | rohan: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 20:44 |
| DexterF | rohan: mine is fine, I didn't upgrade yet. Berzerker has issues with his laptop sound | 20:44 |
| === _myrtille_ is now known as ubuntu | ||
| rohan | DexterF: sound, especially on laptops, is a very touch thing, agreed | 20:45 |
| rohan | marc0s: thanks | 20:45 |

| DexterF | friend of mine had to reconf his after upgrading, too. and on 7.10. and 7.04. and 6.10. and 6.06 had issues right away. | 20:45 |
| DexterF | rohan: no other distro I use has so many device naming/numbering issues as Ubuntu | 20:45 |
| dwidmann | DexterF: That would be too nice | 20:45 |
| JoshOvki | mine sound worked fine after upgrading | 20:45 |

| dwidmann | wb serguma | 20:46 |
| JoshOvki | there is a bug that means my speaker control is controled by surround but thats nothing major | 20:46 |
| serguma | :( still doesn't work | 20:46 |
| DexterF | dwidmann: like: today we start counting at 0, tomorrow at 1. today we load module x first, tomorrow module y | 20:46 |
| rohan | can someone please confirm that "Safely Remove"ing pen drives on kubuntu 8.04 works? every time i try, i get "Safely unmounted, but could not eject", or some such | 20:46 |
| flipstar | serguma: /usr/lib/kde4/bin/dolphin doesn work but kdesu /usr/lib/kde4/bin/dolphin not ? | 20:46 |
| Nyad | Hi. I am downloading the ISO for Hardy, but I don't have any CD's is there away I can mount that ISO and install HARDY from it without using a CD? | 20:46 |
| rohan | !usb > Nyad | 20:47 |
| DexterF | rohan: possibly this means it cant eject because its no cd/dvd..? | 20:47 |
| flipstar | !install > Nyad | 20:47 |
| rohan | Nyad: you can install using pen drive, which is exactly what i did :) | 20:47 |
| Berzerker | DexterF: I got it | 20:47 |
| DexterF | Berzerker: what was it? | 20:47 |
| rohan | DexterF: then it shouldn't show that error | 20:48 |
| Berzerker | DexterF: My Line channel was muted. :P | 20:48 |
| DexterF | Berzerker: dude. :) | 20:48 |
| serguma | flipstar: the second one works now :S, perhaps I mistyped | 20:48 |
| Nyad | would it work from a USB harddrive and not a flash? | 20:48 |
| rohan | DexterF: or, clicking on "Safely Remove" shouldn't try to eject | 20:48 |
| DexterF | rohan: sure right. bug? | 20:49 |
| rohan | Nyad: it should, provided your computer is capable of booting from it | 20:49 |
| marc0s | i'm having some "troubles" mounting via dolphin one volume, it asks me for the sudo password (it raises a kdesu window), how can i configure it to not ask for it, as is working now with usb drives? | 20:49 |
| rohan | DexterF: going to file one in a few minutes | 20:49 |
| marc0s | i'm using hardy with kde4 | 20:49 |
| flipstar | could someone please program an icon manager :/ | 20:49 |
| serguma | well, it looks like typing the full path without double bars at the end makes it work | 20:49 |
| serguma | should I fill a bug report? | 20:49 |
| serguma | (and how do I do that?) | 20:50 |
| Berzerker | oh wow | 20:50 |

| Berzerker | amazing. | 20:51 |
| JoshOvki | Berzerker: its improved your sound output has it? | 20:51 |
| Berzerker | what has | 20:51 |
| JoshOvki | the upgrade | 20:51 |
| Berzerker | oh no | 20:51 |
| JoshOvki | just hasnt broke it | 20:51 |

| Berzerker | under Wine | 20:53 |
| Berzerker | is possible? | 20:53 |
| dwidmann | serguma: how'd ya do it? | 20:53 |
| apache-n00b | Would Dolphin handles tabs in the future? LIke in firefox? | 20:53 |

| rohan | apache-n00b: file a feature request? | 20:54 |
| serguma | dwidmann: i'm a bit of a dummy and I mistyped the direct route, so if i write kdesu /usr/bin/kde4/dolphin it works as intended | 20:54 |
| serguma | but can't execute it like before, without typing the whole route | 20:54 |
| apache-n00b | rohan: No I just wondered, I am too lazy. I heard or read it from somewhere. Just wondered if anyone could confirm. | 20:55 |
| serguma | may I delete the line in .bashcr? | 20:55 |
| Berzerker | anyone get their iphone working in linux | 20:55 |
| flipstar | rohan: where again ? | 20:55 |
| dwidmann | serguma: you may ... I still find it pecuiliar that it won't let you do it without the whole path though | 20:55 |
| serguma | yeah, I think the same :S | 20:55 |
| dwidmann | serguma: kdesu `which dolphin` would probably be less typing | 20:55 |
| rohan | flipstar: err what? | 20:55 |
| godigy | hello, i just installed kubuntu, but whenever my comptuer sleeps and i wake it up the screen goes wierd | 20:55 |
| flipstar | serguma: or just make an alias ;) | 20:56 |
| flipstar | rohan: where can we fill feature request again..? | 20:56 |
| serguma | the thing is that it happens with all the system installed programs :S | 20:56 |
| godigy | like the whole screen gets squished and i have to restart x to set it right, does anyone know the solution to this or how to keep my computer from sleeping | 20:56 |
| serguma | not with any that I installed | 20:56 |
| serguma | but with the ones that came | 20:56 |
| Deepthought | BluesKaj: the suggestion made by contrast83 (rename .kde) to reset all settings worked; the bugs are gone ! | 20:56 |
| rohan | godigy: have a look here -- http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/ | 20:56 |
| serguma | is there a way to solve it globally? | 20:57 |
| rohan | flipstar: on the kde bug tracker - http://bugs.kde.org/ | 20:57 |
| serguma | (how do I fill a bug report?) | 20:57 |
| flipstar | serguma: it's probably becorse wrappers for kde4 are still missing | 20:57 |
| dwidmann | serguma: go to www.launchpad.net and type in everything it asks you, and all you know about the problem. | 20:57 |
| Deepthought | BluesKaj: to remove the confusion: I took the chance to change my nick from Leeuw to Deepthought, cause Leeuw appeared to be taken according to nickserv | 20:57 |
| dwidmann | serguma: you'll have to create an account first. | 20:57 |
| serguma | well, no problem, I'll create one | 20:58 |
| serguma | by the way, can I ask you how to solve a unrelated problem? | 20:58 |
| dwidmann | sure | 20:58 |
| Berzerker | sigh | 20:59 |
| Berzerker | Looks like I'll have to jailbreak my iphone | 20:59 |
| serguma | do you know why whenever I log out and log in again all the system tray icons are messed? | 20:59 |
| dwidmann | serguma: not a clue, what variety of messed up do they look like? | 20:59 |
| serguma | they aren't show in the system tray, but in the desktop in the top left corner with a little box and all of them atop the other | 20:59 |
| serguma | shown* | 21:00 |
| serguma | i can log out and make a screenshot | 21:00 |
| obvio | updating to hardy broke my vpn access. has anybody had the same problem? | 21:00 |
| serguma | if log out and log in again all comes back to normal | 21:00 |
| obvio | starting kvpnc now just makes my whole wlan connection go dead | 21:00 |
| BluesKaj | cool, Deepthought , glad to hear the settings worked ! :) | 21:00 |
| dwidmann | serguma: screenshot, that's worth a bug report too | 21:00 |
| dwidmann | serguma: kde4 is still full of a lot of problems .... nowhere near as mature as KDE3 | 21:01 |
| serguma | ok, i'll brb, first I want to show it to you to see if it's a known problem or not :S | 21:01 |
| serguma | dwidmann: yeah, I know, but if we don't test it it'll never be as good as KDE3 :P | 21:02 |
| Deepthought | BluesKaj: yep, and it gives me the joy of tuning my rig all over again; plus the stress-relieving feeling that I can ' reset' it if stuff gets weird... | 21:02 |
| serguma | brb | 21:02 |
| dwidmann | serguma: that's true .... which is why I'm running KDE4 too (with a few KDE3 apps mixed in where I need them (ie: gwenview, knetworkmanager, konversation,amarok, kmix ....) | 21:03 |
| marc0s | can somebody point me out how to configure dolphin/kde/whatever not to ask for sudo password for mounting a disk partition (not an external disk but a sata drive)... with USB disks i have no problem... | 21:03 |
| rohan | kde4 is meant to be "usable" from kde 4.1 onwards, but many people are already using it | 21:03 |
| Deepthought | BluesKaj: do you think it would be a good idea to check those broken dependencies still ? Or is that best left to crisis-management situations (if it ain' t broke, don't fix it maybe) | 21:03 |
| rohan | marc0s: use "visudo" and add the word NOPASSWD in the last line | 21:03 |
| Deepthought | /identify Deepthought moi | 21:03 |
| marc0s | i can type in the password but afterwards i have to open dolphin with sudo... | 21:04 |
| Deepthought | join #nickserv | 21:04 |
| rohan | so, the last line will read - %admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL | 21:04 |
| marc0s | rohan: not a solution ... :) | 21:04 |
| dwidmann | rohan: without loads of bug reports though it might not quite get there by 4.1 though ... | 21:04 |
| rohan | marc0s: why? | 21:04 |
| Deepthought | /nickserv | 21:04 |
| marc0s | rohan: i don't want to run dolphin with sudo and not ask me a password for that | 21:04 |
| dwidmann | marc0s: you'd have to edit your fstab, probably | 21:04 |
| marc0s | what i want is to get the partition mounted as if it was an usb drive | 21:04 |
| rohan | marc0s: ah ok.. | 21:05 |
| BluesKaj | Deepthought, there is a way in synaptic to fix broken packages , which from what i've been told is the same and safer than the command i gave you. | 21:05 |
| Sevenhill | Hi There | 21:05 |
| rohan | dwidmann: it's a chicken-and-egg situation, sadly | 21:05 |
| dwidmann | marc0s: add "user" to the options part of that line of your fstab( the one corresponding to that partition) | 21:05 |
| marc0s | dwidmann: so i understand that are not handled equally external and disk drives, right? | 21:05 |
| Sevenhill | is that console color bug fixed ? | 21:05 |
| Deepthought | BluesKaj: ehm, search for 'broken' , right ? | 21:05 |
| === ses59 is now known as ses59_ | ||
| BluesKaj | Deepthought, in synaptic under edit/fix broken packages | 21:06 |
| dwidmann | rohan: kind of, and even at 4.1 there will still be a lot of problems, I say 4.2 will be the more usable one (a lot of apps haven't made it in yet, but will be in at 4.1 .... they'll be needing lots of bug reporting love and will probably be straightened out by 4.2) | 21:06 |
| Bauldrick | im trying to mount a mac drive, but it only mounts read only? i want to write to it | 21:06 |
| rohan | dwidmann: well, let's hope for the best :) | 21:07 |
| Deepthought | BluesKaj: ok, I' ll check it out. | 21:07 |
| _sourcemaker | are there newsgroups for kubuntu? | 21:07 |
| dwidmann | marc0s: they're handle just the same for the most part | 21:07 |
| serguma | backk | 21:07 |
| dwidmann | marc0s: in fact, I can't think of any situations where they aren't | 21:07 |
| rohan | https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/223246 ---> i'd be thankful if someone can confirm this bug | 21:07 |
| Sevenhill | is there any devel channel for kubuntu ? | 21:07 |
| flipstar | _sourcemaker: there are severel mailing lists | 21:08 |
| serguma | dwidmann: bugs are really picky, happened everytime before, and now I'm not able to repro it :( | 21:08 |
| serguma | perhaps next time I reboot | 21:08 |
| coreymon77 | Sevenhill: yes, #kubuntu-devel | 21:08 |
| Deepthought | BluesKaj: Found it, clicked it, nothing happened; that means everything is in order, right ? | 21:08 |
| Sevenhill | coreymon77: thx | 21:08 |
| marc0s | dwidmann: uhm... but my usb drives are mounted without typing in any sudo password... maybe it's an udev thing?? | 21:08 |
| coreymon77 | marc0s: usb keys are different than external hard drives | 21:09 |
| kaminix | Strange error when trying to mount an usb harddrive automaticall (by just plugging it in): 'A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")' | 21:09 |

| coreymon77 | !paste | kaminix | 21:09 |
| ubotu | kaminix: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 21:09 |
| kaminix | Uhm... isn't that for multiple lines only coreymon77? | 21:10 |
| dwidmann | serguma: funny how that works sometimes, but you can still make the bug without the screenshot and atttach the next time you're able to reproduce it | 21:10 |
| BluesKaj | Deepthought, usually yes :) | 21:11 |
| serguma | dwidmann: I report it as a ubuntu bug? because I can't find the kubuntu option :( | 21:12 |
| dwidmann | serguma: right | 21:13 |
| serguma | dwidmann: do I mention any package? | 21:13 |
| dwidmann | serguma: I think the package would probably be kdebase-workspace-bin | 21:13 |
| serguma | no mention of kde4? | 21:14 |
| Deepthought | BluesKaj: gooood. Still, very convenient stuff, synaptic and all that other ubuntu automagics; makes it much easier to handle. But it' s really a pity it makes it harder to understand wht's going on behind all that, I wish now I had stuck around a little longer in one of those frustrating stone-age linuxes trhat I tried over the years, because I'm not that good at the terminal | 21:14 |
| dwidmann | serguma: that's the package that plasma (kde4 desktop & panel) is included in | 21:14 |
| serguma | dwidmann: ah, it's not the same for kde3? | 21:15 |
| serguma | sorry, still learning :$ | 21:15 |
| dwidmann | serguma: most of the kde4 packages are marked with a -kde4 at the end, but not this one apparently. | 21:15 |
| serguma | dwidmann: ok, thanks :) | 21:16 |
| Freddy2 | hi | 21:16 |

| serguma | i'm spanish and my English isn't quite as good as most of you, so I don't know if everything I write sounds right | 21:17 |
| dwidmann | serguma: that should work, be sure to get more specific in the actual message though | 21:17 |
| dwidmann | serguma: your English seems pretty good to me | 21:17 |
| serguma | dwidmann: thx :) | 21:18 |

| serguma | Freddy2: nada, aqui escribiendo un bug report, a ver si me apaño :S | 21:18 |
| Freddy2 | anyway, can you add kde4 into a kde 3.5.x based version? (i mean, 8.04) | 21:18 |
| dwidmann | Freddy2: you can have both installed side by side | 21:18 |
| Freddy2 | the goal is being able to select the one you prefer at.. kdm | 21:19 |
| dwidmann | yes to that too | 21:19 |
| BluesKaj | Deepthought, the terminal is a an ongoing learning experience IMO and i don't think it will ever end for me either. | 21:19 |
| eMaX | hi all | 21:19 |
| eMaX | since going to hardy, whenever i start an x program from konsole, it comes with no window decorations. starting from xterm works. any ideas anyone? | 21:20 |
| Deepthought | BluesKaj: you do have a point there... I know I' m getting somewhere with it from time to time, at least I CAN use it, wich is a lot more than most users that migrated from windoze | 21:20 |
| acer4920 | selam turk varmı | 21:20 |
| acer4920 | selam arkadaslar | 21:21 |
| rohan | eMaX: for example? | 21:21 |
| pteague_laptop | anybody know how to disable the touchpad tap is a click? apparently mine is overly sensitive | 21:21 |
| dwidmann | pteague_laptop: I know how, one sec | 21:22 |
| rohan | pteague_laptop: using kubuntu, i think you'd need to edit xorg.conf | 21:22 |
| pteague_laptop | i'll be typing along & suddenly it decides to click on something... not fun ;) | 21:22 |
| eMaX | like I start "xterm" out of "konsole". Now window border, no integration with display manager at all. I start xterm out of xterm, everything works. | 21:22 |
| BluesKaj | Deepthought, yeah I think most of us did migrate from windows ...there some unix guys around but they're the old pros :) | 21:22 |
| kaminix | How can I remove that really loud system BEEEEP which comes a little now and then whenever I get an e-mail and stuff like that. | 21:23 |
| rohan | eMaX: hmm no it's working fine here | 21:23 |
| pteague_laptop | yeah, i know i'll have to modify the InputDevice section for the synaptic touchpad, but not sure what i need to set it to | 21:23 |
| JoshOvki | i started on a BBC :) | 21:23 |
| dwidmann | pteague_laptop: add three lines to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the Synaptics section, the first line is ----- Option "TapButton1" "0" | 21:23 |
| BluesKaj | kaminix, system settings/notifications/turn off all sounds | 21:24 |
| dwidmann | pteague_laptop: the other two lines will be the same, except use TapButton2 and TapButton3 | 21:24 |
| serguma | dwidmann: you told me to write sudo 'which dolphin' for example before, no? | 21:24 |
| eMaX | it seems to have to do with konsole. starting things from "start..." also works. | 21:24 |
| rohan | BluesKaj: no need to really turn off *all* sounds | 21:24 |

| pteague_laptop | dwidmann> awesome, thanks :) | 21:24 |
| dwidmann | serguma: starting graphical apps with sudo is a bad idea, it can make it so you can't log in in bad case scenarios | 21:25 |
| serguma | dwidmann: you know the irony? | 21:25 |
| dwidmann | serguma: not yet | 21:25 |

| serguma | the bug report is the following, is it OK? | 21:28 |
| serguma | Using Kubuntu 8.04 with KDE4 | 21:28 |
| serguma | The bug I encountered prevents me from executing any system preinstalled program as superuser from the console. | 21:28 |
| serguma | For example, if I want to open kate to edit a system file, and I type sudo kate I get a "command not found" message (kdesudo kate or kdesu kate do the same thing). | 21:28 |
| serguma | If I write kate without the sudo part it works as intended, but without superuser privileges (obviously). | 21:28 |
| serguma | The same thing happens with dolphin, konqueror, etc. | 21:28 |
| serguma | If I type the direct route (found with the "which" command) everything works as intended, for example "kdesu /usr/lib/kde4/bin//kate" opens the program without a problem. | 21:28 |
| Freddy2 | serguma: you should have used any paste website instead, such as http://www.rafb.net/paste | 21:29 |
| serguma | sorry, not used to irc :S | 21:29 |
| dwidmann | serguma: it's giving me a similar error, now that I look into it closer | 21:29 |
| dwidmann | serguma: kdesudo is telling me "command not found" | 21:29 |
| serguma | dwidmann: do you think the bug report is OK? | 21:30 |
| dwidmann | serguma: it should be, link me to it when you're done with it, I'd like to comment on it just to help seed the confirmation of it :) | 21:30 |
| kaminix | BluesKaj: But I want the normal sounds, just not the really loud system beep | 21:30 |
| david567 | anyone knows how to help me? | 21:30 |
| serguma | dwidmann: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-workspace/+bug/223264 | 21:31 |
| david567 | or tell me where to find the basic config file for conky | 21:31 |
| BluesKaj | sorry kaminix , dunno | 21:31 |
| BluesKaj | kaminix, rohan , i don't like any of those sounds , so I just turn 'em all off :) | 21:31 |
| kaminix | BluesKaj: Me neither really, but I like to hear when getting mail and stuff... | 21:32 |
| kaminix | Guess no sound is better than that though :p | 21:32 |
| dwidmann | serguma: I wonder where kdesudo is getting its path from. | 21:32 |
| Freddy2 | then try kdesu echo $PATH, or something like that | 21:32 |
| Odd-rationale | kaminix: you want to turn off the beep for kmail only? | 21:33 |
| melkart | https://bugs.launchpad.net/rosetta/+bug/196106 <-- could somebody explain to me why the reportedly uploaded packages are not yet available? | 21:33 |
| Freddy2 | and check which user is being invoked every time you use kdesu, and where to redefine its path (assuming that's the problem) | 21:33 |
| serguma | dwidmann: to be honest i've been using windows my whole life, so I don't get the inner workings or linux yet :( | 21:33 |
| dwidmann | Freddy2: because it's not looking at /usr/lib/kde4/bin, which *is* in the $PATH | 21:33 |
| serguma | of* | 21:33 |
| kaminix | Odd-rationale: No, I have a nice pling set for KMail, but it's played at the same time as a super loud system beep which just won't go away. | 21:33 |
| Freddy2 | is in the PATH for the current user, but kdesu will be executed by the superuser | 21:34 |
| Freddy2 | it looks like that | 21:34 |
| dwidmann | Freddy2: kdesudo echo $PATH behaves as expected ... nothing abnormal, but it's not looking in /usr/lib/kde4/bin | 21:34 |
| dwidmann | Freddy2: you may have a point there, perhaps I need to add /usr/lib/kde4/bin to /etc/environment, though that will mess with my KDE3 | 21:34 |
| Freddy2 | you may check it | 21:35 |
| Odd-rationale | kaminix: have you tried going to in kmail Settings --> Configure Kmail --> Accounts --> Receiveing --> Newmail notification and uncheck the "beep" check box? | 21:35 |

| serguma | dwidmann: wb again xD | 21:43 |
| Odd-rationale | kaminix: konsole doesn't use the system beep (at least not by default) so you will have to experiment with another term suchas xterm, yakuake, or the built in terminal in konq... | 21:43 |
| Odd-rationale | kaminix: got one of those? | 21:43 |
| dwidmann | umm, nope, didn't work, not at all | 21:43 |
| jony | does compiz fusion adjust that aswell? | 21:43 |
| b3lt3r | can anyone suggest why I cannot open a remote X session displaying back to my Hardy desktop - I have commented out the -nolisten tcp line in kdmrc? | 21:43 |
| dwidmann | I added /usr/lib/kde4/bin to /etc/environment and kdesudo still won't exec any kde4 apps without the full path :( | 21:44 |
| kaminix | Odd-rationale: I use yakuake, it doesn't make any sounds at all I think. Only problem left doing it now is probably konqueror | 21:44 |

| Odd-rationale | kaminix: even if you do bksp? on prompt? | 21:44 |

| crash_ | coreymon77: that IS the chipset | 21:51 |

| coreymon77 | crash_: whoops, wrong person | 21:53 |
| coreymon77 | cweagans: that was for you | 21:53 |
| coreymon77 | cweagans: meaning, that since there arent kde4 versions for everything, you would have to remove each of the apps you wanted to remove one by one with apt | 21:54 |

| spiroo | Oh please someone help me. I have searched on google for several hours, being kicked from apache channel because I was taking to much place and time from them, And in channel ubuntu-server nobody answer me at all anymore. What have I done to deserve this cruelness. I have not breaking any rule in whatsoever. Please, you are my last hope of glory. I really need my server to work correct :) | 22:05 |
| spiroo | *webserver | 22:06 |
| coreymon77 | crash_: youre card is a mrv8k | 22:06 |
| coreymon77 | crash_: you need to blacklist the including, non-working driver, and use ndis | 22:07 |
| astera | hello. has anybody experiences on ubuntu on ASUS A7S? | 22:07 |
| Bauldrick | trying to turn .m4p files to mp3's - any tips?? I can do .m4a but not m4p | 22:07 |
| bmk789 | how do i fix my audio input? | 22:08 |
| coreymon77 | crash_: i hate having to tell people to use ndis as much as you hate using it, but unfortunately, thats the way it is | 22:09 |
| spiroo | I appreciate the help, thank you guys | 22:09 |
| coreymon77 | i really dont know spiroo | 22:10 |
| coreymon77 | what is your problem, if i know what to do, i will try to help, but, im not sure if i can | 22:11 |
| spiroo | coreymon77: Do you have time and experience with apache2? If not, you could probably not help me. | 22:11 |
| coreymon77 | spiroo: nope, sorry | 22:11 |
| astera | there are several probs. the first is i want to use my vmware files in ubuntu. do you know how?? | 22:12 |
| coreymon77 | astera: umm, vmware for linux? | 22:12 |
| spiroo | coreymon77: Its allright. Those who can apache2 cannot help me either. They do not understand what I am trying to do. So I am stucked with myself. I have been trying almost everything. | 22:12 |
| malte_ | my gidness | 22:13 |
| astera | do i need a licenens for vmware in linux? | 22:13 |
| JoshOvki | astera: yes | 22:13 |
| astera | :-)) | 22:14 |
| astera | are there any other options ;-) | 22:14 |
| spiroo | Honestly, it REALLY sucks to be me. This always happening to me. I do not doing anything wrong, cannot find any solution at all and nobody understand me. Sorry if I feel sorry for myself at the moment. But really, this just stinks so hard. | 22:14 |
| astera | whats about virtualbox? | 22:15 |
| spiroo | I feel like a lost morron which nobody can handle at all. | 22:15 |
| coreymon77 | spiroo: this isnt helping | 22:15 |
| coreymon77 | astera: why not use vmware? | 22:15 |
| algyz | astera: use vmware server, it's free | 22:15 |
| JoshOvki | astera: virtualbox is free, although if you do install windows you need to have a licence | 22:16 |
| astera | because i have no license for linux | 22:16 |
| JoshOvki | (for the windows bit) | 22:16 |
| spiroo | coreymon77: I know, but it feels a little better. | 22:16 |
| coreymon77 | astera: vmware player astera | 22:16 |
| algyz | server :) | 22:16 |
| algyz | server has more options ;) | 22:16 |
| coreymon77 | either one works | 22:16 |
| crash_ | coreymon77: Ok, HOW do I install and use ndis again? | 22:16 |
| algyz | And I think it's not very hard to register in their site to get free numbers | 22:16 |
| astera | vmware player for linux?? | 22:16 |
| Ratshell | Hello anyone here use Kde4 with Compiz-Fusion? | 22:17 |
| algyz | astera: vmware server ;) | 22:17 |

| algyz | yea | 22:17 |
| coreymon77 | astera: yup, player is free, open source, and its on apt! | 22:17 |
| astera | thx | 22:17 |
| spiroo | coreymon77: The most funny of all time, is that I have been trying to fix this all day long. I should fix my webserver so I could work with my website. And the website need to be done really soon. | 22:17 |
| algyz | server also | 22:17 |
| coreymon77 | algyz: okay then, i dont do much virtualization on my linux box anyways, i do almost all of it on my dual core macbook | 22:18 |
| astera | another questions. on my notebook (Asus A7S) i have a TV Tuner, but in ubuntu i can find it. whre can i get driver for that? | 22:18 |
| algyz | astera: lshw, maybe you'll see it | 22:19 |
| astera | ?? | 22:19 |
| bmk789 | how do i fix my audio input? | 22:19 |
| astera | what do you mean? | 22:19 |
| algyz | astera: I mean terminal ;) | 22:19 |
| coreymon77 | bmk789: first you have to tell us whats wrong with it | 22:19 |
| bmk789 | im getting no audio input | 22:20 |
| algyz | !sound | bmk789 | 22:20 |
| ubotu | bmk789: If 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 !MP3 | 22:20 |

| _sourcemaker | on gusty... the wlan was working fine | 22:22 |
| coreymon77 | _sourcemaker: you mean the wifi card? | 22:23 |
| kaminix | algyz: No other FTP server with a Qt interface perhaps? ^^ Suppose not. :p | 22:23 |
| _sourcemaker | coreymon77:yes | 22:23 |
| algyz | kaminix: this one is good and easy to use ;) | 22:23 |
| coreymon77 | _sourcemaker: which card? | 22:23 |
| _sourcemaker | coreymon77: i do not know... | 22:23 |
| _sourcemaker | coreymon77: nothing special | 22:23 |
| kaminix | algyz: Yeah, I've used proftpd before, never tried the gui though. :) | 22:24 |
| algyz | kaminix: apt-cache search ftp, also you can try with synaptic | 22:24 |
| _sourcemaker | coreymon77: integrated ide... | 22:24 |

| crash_ | I... what? | 22:25 |
| Berzerker | no one has an answer to my question? | 22:25 |

| _sourcemaker | Berzerker: is's a realteak semiconstructor | 22:25 |
| _sourcemaker | Berzerker: why are there always so many problems with wifi... | 22:26 |
| Berzerker | because linux was never meant to support wifi | 22:26 |
| coreymon77 | Berzerker: it works great with me | 22:27 |
| kaminix | algyz: Never mind, running it inetd ^^ | 22:27 |
| Berzerker | coreymon77: I know it works, but it's not officially supported. | 22:27 |
| coreymon77 | _sourcemaker: any idea what the card model is | 22:27 |
| coreymon77 | Berzerker: yes it is, by now | 22:27 |
| _sourcemaker | coreymon77: it's a realtek | 22:27 |
| Berzerker | My drivers are still restricted. | 22:27 |
| coreymon77 | Berzerker: or else we wouldnt be talking about it here | 22:27 |
| coreymon77 | Berzerker: thats because most companies are arseholes and wont release open source drivers | 22:28 |
| coreymon77 | _sourcemaker: realtek what? | 22:28 |
| kicco | Berzerker: with wich facts do you say this? | 22:28 |

| ubotu | kmorrissey: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 22:34 |
| coreymon77 | kicco: no need, there is a free driver | 22:34 |

| Berzerker | madwifi worked for me | 22:37 |
| Berzerker | is anyone using compiz-fusion on hardy? | 22:37 |
| coreymon77 | Berzerker: madwifi is primarily for intel or atheros cards | 22:37 |
| kicco | yeees! | 22:37 |
| kicco | coreymon77: was about to say it.. | 22:37 |
| Berzerker | kicco: it's so shotty for me | 22:37 |
| coreymon77 | kmorrissey: i understand, im just a little busy at the moment | 22:37 |
| kicco | Berzerker: which card? | 22:37 |
| Berzerker | nvidia 8600M GT | 22:37 |
| kmorrissey | please take your time I can wait. Im happy to wait | 22:38 |
| coreymon77 | my opinion is never use ndis unless it is absolutely necessary | 22:38 |
| kicco | Berzerker: drivers? nvidia-glx-new or sthing like that? | 22:38 |
| Berzerker | yeah | 22:38 |
| kicco | Berzerker: xorg.conf? driver is nvidia? | 22:38 |
| Berzerker | driver is nvidia | 22:38 |
| Berzerker | yes | 22:38 |
| coreymon77 | crash_: heres what you want | 22:39 |

| crash_ | coreymon77: complete | 22:39 |
| kicco | glxinfo i mean | 22:39 |
| Berzerker | kicco: how do I tell | 22:39 |
| coreymon77 | crash_: go to the wifidocs, and look at the Driver/mrv8k page | 22:39 |
| coreymon77 | crash_: that should help you with your card | 22:39 |

| raymears | hy, everyone. i have a problem. it is not really kubuntu related. it is rather a general linux issue: when i try to login, the authentication succeeds but then i get an "unable to cd to 'home/my_user'" | 22:40 |
| kicco | shit. xserver-xgl installed? | 22:40 |
| raymears | and i get the prompt again | 22:40 |
| Berzerker | kicco: dunno lol | 22:40 |
| cweagans | kmorrissey: what do you need help with? | 22:41 |
| coreymon77 | raymears: apparently your home directory either doesnt exist or is corrupted | 22:41 |
| raymears | does anyone have any suggestions? | 22:41 |
| kicco | apt-get install xserver-xgl | 22:41 |
| Berzerker | apparently not then | 22:41 |
| kmorrissey | I just want to no if anyone can help with running media center on kubuntu | 22:41 |
| raymears | coreymon77: well i can reach it as root, i can see everything in it | 22:41 |
| kicco | is the processor running high when you use effects? | 22:41 |
| kmorrissey | LinuxMCE | 22:41 |
| Berzerker | kicco: I don't know, I switched back to kwin, let me switch again hold on | 22:42 |
| kmorrissey | The instructions are confusing me with reference to the networking | 22:42 |
| kmorrissey | Basicaly I understand that I should have a deadicated machine for running LinuxMCE and then network boot my other machines | 22:42 |
| raymears | coreymon77: the thing is i installed gentoo on another partition and i played around with the permissions of the kubuntu partition from within gentoo. but i don't believe this to be the issue | 22:42 |
| coreymon77 | kmorrissey: let me guess, you have wifi problems to right? | 22:43 |
| Berzerker | kicco: no, I changed it to performance mode, but it's still not good | 22:43 |
| max_ | Hello, is anybody know russian channel kubuntu on this channel? | 22:43 |
| Berzerker | kicco: the title bars on non-focused windows disappear, and I can't drag windows around | 22:43 |
| _sourcemaker | coreymon77: no extension found is the result of iwconfig | 22:43 |
| max_ | on this server* | 22:43 |
| cweagans | kmorrissey: check your private messages. | 22:43 |
| kmorrissey | no wifi is fine I figured that out | 22:43 |
| coreymon77 | raymears: your home directory is either non-existent, corrupted, or unable to be accessed by your user due to permissions | 22:43 |
| coreymon77 | _sourcemaker: what interfaces were given? | 22:44 |
| kicco | you should restart X if you installed xgl. how's the cube while rotating i.e.? | 22:44 |
| kmorrissey | I cant send prv messages its blocked coz Im not registered | 22:44 |
| cweagans | kmorrissey: ah | 22:44 |
| Berzerker | kicco: I don't use it | 22:44 |
| Berzerker | but I'll check | 22:44 |
| kmorrissey | My question is, if I have a deadicated box for LinuxMCE and network boot the other machines, which one needs the nvidia graphics card in | 22:45 |
| Berzerker | kicco: looks smooth | 22:45 |
| cweagans | kmorrissey: probably the one that will connect to your tv (or whatever you are using for a monitor) | 22:45 |
| raymears | coreymon77: i even did a chgrp -R myusername /home/myusername | 22:45 |
| kmorrissey | I am using a 32" LCD | 22:45 |
| ElVirolo | hi all | 22:45 |
| _sourcemaker | back to gusty... everthink was working fine | 22:46 |
| cweagans | kmorrissey: are you only using the media center features on one machine? | 22:46 |
| kmorrissey | and also, does the TV tunner need to be in the CORE machine, or the one at the TV | 22:46 |
| coreymon77 | _sourcemaker: the interfaces that were listed, was wlan0, wifi0 or anything like that in the list | 22:46 |
| ElVirolo | sound on youtube doesn't work, which is strange since pulseaudio isn't installed under kubuntu | 22:46 |
| kmorrissey | No I want to network around my whole house | 22:46 |
| kicco | only title bars... which decorator have u installed? | 22:46 |
| _sourcemaker | coreymon77: now... only LO | 22:46 |
| _sourcemaker | coreymon77: there is no wifi interface | 22:46 |
| cweagans | kmorrissey: I would try installing mythtv on the machines and find some kind of streaming media server | 22:47 |
| _sourcemaker | coreymon77: is there any missing kernel module... maybe a bug in the new hardy distribution? | 22:47 |
| kmorrissey | mythtv is a complete nightmere to install | 22:47 |
| cweagans | kmorrissey: the media center features are cool, but you should start small and work up to a REALLY nice system | 22:47 |
| cweagans | kmorrissey: ?? | 22:47 |
| kicco | btw: how' linuxmce? | 22:47 |
| kmorrissey | I agree, but Myth is not for the beginer in Linux | 22:48 |
| kicco | how's | 22:48 |
| ElVirolo | ideas anyone? | 22:48 |
| kmorrissey | The instructions are very tech, and way beyond my skills of linus | 22:48 |
| kmorrissey | linux* | 22:48 |
| cweagans | kmorrissey: dude....it's easy: sudo apt-get install mythtv mythtv-themes | 22:48 |
| kmorrissey | I wish there website said that! | 22:49 |
| kicco | kmorrissey: i've been told it was easy... | 22:49 |
| cweagans | kmorrissey: google is your friend: http://www.google.com/search?q=mythtv+on+ubuntu&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a | 22:49 |
| cweagans | aka: google "mythtv on ubuntu" | 22:49 |
| cweagans | first link | 22:49 |
| coreymon77 | _sourcemaker: can you type lspci into konsole and put the output on pastebin? | 22:49 |
| raymears | coreymon77: i just added my user to the root group.... and kde starts up quite nicely. except that i've just blown the whole ubuntu security concept | 22:49 |
| raymears | to pieces | 22:50 |
| kmorrissey | really when you get a minute check out there website very complex instructions | 22:50 |
| kmorrissey | Thank you I will try that | 22:50 |

| coreymon77 | raymears: apparently the permissions was messed up | 22:50 |
| raymears | i know. | 22:50 |
| coreymon77 | raymears: fix them and youre fine | 22:50 |
| raymears | any suggestions on how to fix them | 22:50 |
| raymears | as i said, i chgrp -R ed my whole home folder | 22:50 |
| coreymon77 | do the opposite of what you did on gentoo | 22:50 |
| cweagans | kmorrissey: btw, if you are having problems with things like mythtv, I would reccommend spending a little time familiarizing yourself with linux and how EVERYTHING works before you start on a huge networking project like the one you want to do with LinuxMCE | 22:50 |
| kubuntu | hello dudes | 22:51 |
| kmorrissey | Thanks for your help, its much appricated. | 22:51 |
| cweagans | kmorrissey: no problem. | 22:51 |
| raymears | coreymon77: HAHA! i have been messing about with gentoo for about... 12 hours.:D | 22:51 |
| coreymon77 | raymears: you asked for a suggestion :P | 22:51 |
| kmorrissey | Unfortunatly, I need the media center to work inorder to leave windblows behind, we use MS media center very much and if I cant figure it out I will have to revert to MS for a happy household!!! | 22:52 |
| raymears | well.. yeah. i asked: "can you help me fix my problem?" to which your answer was something like: "fix it!":D | 22:52 |
| coreymon77 | raymears: in other words, i dont know what to do :P | 22:53 |
| coreymon77 | kmorrissey: what do you mean by networking | 22:53 |
| coreymon77 | kmorrissey: what kind of networking are you trying to do | 22:53 |
| raymears | coreymon77: not really. i mean, i've got it working for now... but this is an extremly ugly solution. do you know of any reason why my user partition wouldn't get mountet inspite belonging to my group? | 22:54 |
| raymears | coreymon77: hmm.. i've just had an idea. check the permissions:D | 22:54 |
| kmorrissey | Ok, I am trying to setup a core system running somesort of media center (maybe LinuxMCE) with 2 further systems, network booting to the media center, and then 2 laptops that authenticate and gain desktop and settings etc from the server | 22:54 |
| coreymon77 | raymears: that would help | 22:54 |
| coreymon77 | kmorrissey: you mean, you want to have 2 computers able to screen share from the first system | 22:55 |
| Bob190 | I'm installing Kubuntu and I need wireless drivers for Hardy | 22:56 |
| kmorrissey | not screen share, the LinuxMCE website claims you can network boot the system what they call medai directors | 22:56 |
| kmorrissey | basically making them settop boxes | 22:56 |
| coreymon77 | Bob190: what card? | 22:57 |
| spiroo | coreymon77: Woho, I solved the problem :D | 22:57 |
| kmorrissey | but I dont no where to put the high end graphics cards, in the core sever or in the set tops! | 22:57 |
| coreymon77 | spiroo: nice | 22:58 |
| Bob190 | coreymon77, i dunno. | 22:58 |
| Berzerke1 | kicco: xserver-xgl screwed my computer up | 22:58 |
| kmorrissey | I think some better instruction manuals for Linux apps, would get many more people using it, Im just stubborn thats why I spent two months without any fully working computer | 22:58 |
| Bob190 | i have a dell inpison 1525 laptop. | 22:58 |
| Berzerke1 | kicco: nothing had title bars | 22:58 |
| Berzerke1 | kicco: and I couldn't click to get a textbox focus | 22:58 |
| Bob190 | *inspiron | 22:58 |

| Deepthought | oh, 4 this is kde 3.9 Maybe I should try the kde4 kopete then ? I have the kde4 runtime, so it should work, right ? | 23:42 |
| gnomefreak | Deepthought: iirc kde4 is kde3.9 since its not final | 23:42 |
| nosrednaekim | Deepthought: yeah.. should. | 23:42 |

| gnomefreak | ah | 23:43 |
| Deepthought | gnomefreak: indeed I do, correction | 23:43 |
| gnomefreak | if you have kde libs it should work | 23:43 |
| gnomefreak | for 4 it should work | 23:43 |

| chris32882 | is there anyway to move the pop-up window when a user sings on for kopete? | 23:45 |

| cpk1 | davf: so using the pull down menu for event source select the kde window manager and then look in there for "new dialog" which is I think the the noise you want to turn off | 23:46 |
| cpk1 | !lvm | 23:46 |

| chris32882 | alright thanks, just in an odd place kinda would like it above the task bar when it pops up | 23:46 |
| nosrednaekim | crash_: does "ndiswrapper -l" (thats a small L) list anything | 23:46 |
| Deepthought | gnomefreak: one little thing: if it doesn' t work in IRC, then how can it 'not show chatlist' then / That doesn' t make sense... | 23:46 |
| Deepthought | coreymon77: beware of mice | 23:47 |
| xago | Hey people...I need to get a channel in spanish for kubuntu....who can tell me? | 23:47 |
| nosrednaekim | !es | 23:47 |
| ubotu | Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 23:47 |
| coreymon77 | Deepthought: lol | 23:47 |
| xago | ubotu: thanks!!! | 23:47 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about thanks!!! - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:47 |
| davf | cpk1 ok, the sound is made when the box disappears. | 23:47 |
| edward_ | I keep getting these messages popping up all over the place from KopeteKDE4 and I disabled bubbles but it failed toget rid of these | 23:47 |
| gnomefreak | Deepthought: i would have to look at it before i can say why. maybe mixed up libs not running the 4.0 libs that are needed with 4.0 kopete? | 23:47 |
| crash_ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64776/ | 23:47 |
| edward_ | they're little boxes that keep popping up every time i get sent a message | 23:48 |
| davf | cp1k but this is definately the area though. | 23:48 |
| edward_ | ooh here we go, sorry to bother you | 23:48 |
| Deepthought | gnomefreak: are you talking about myg bug now ? or the chatlist thing ? | 23:48 |
| cpk1 | davf: then maybe "delete dialog" either way, I would look around in the kde window manager area, since the sound is probably coming from that | 23:48 |
| nosrednaekim | crash_: and "iwconfig" isn't showing a wireless device? | 23:48 |
| gnomefreak | Deepthought: can be both i assume ive never had your chatlist bug | 23:48 |
| crash_ | nosrednaekim: It is not listing any wireless device. | 23:49 |
| davf | cpk1 I think I found it "Window Unmaximize" thanks for the help. | 23:49 |
| nosrednaekim | crash_: uhhg , thats nasty. never seen that before | 23:49 |
| Deepthought | gnomefreak: no wait, we' re getting mixed up here, there' s no bug wih the chatlist, I just want it out of the way, but it always reappear if I start kopete anew | 23:49 |
| gnomefreak | Deepthought: ah im not sure i dont use kopete anymore :( | 23:50 |
| crash_ | hence my frustration :P | 23:50 |
| edward_ | Okay, I still failed. How do I get rid of annoying messages popping up from KopeteKDE4 whenever somebody sends me a message?I | 23:50 |
| nosrednaekim | edward_: kopete->settings->configure notifications | 23:50 |
| * gnomefreak sorry im all over 20 channels and noone but this channel is letting me go cook | 23:51 | |
| Deepthought | gnomefreak: the bug was x resetting at opening an IRC-channel, and since you said kopete for kde4 doesn' t work with irc I made the connection | 23:51 |
| Deepthought | gnomefreak: what do you use then ? | 23:51 |
| gnomefreak | Deepthought: for irc i use irssi | 23:51 |
| crash_ | nosrednaekim: is it possible that lspci misidentified the chipset? | 23:51 |
| gnomefreak | for aim i use pdgin but im on aim for 5 minutes a year | 23:51 |
| |neon| | e-sata hard drive it get reconginze but i have to go into settings/advance/disk&filesystem to mounted enable it everytime i reboot how can i make mount auto once i connect it? thx | 23:51 |
| === pauljw_ is now known as pauljw | ||
| Deepthought | gnomefreak: does that have other protocols too ? or just IRC ? | 23:51 |
| nosrednaekim | crash_: I very much doubt it | 23:51 |
| gnomefreak | Deepthought: just irc | 23:52 |
| edward_ | nosrenaekim: thanks | 23:52 |
| Deepthought | hm, would not be for me, I like to keep track of all IM-stuff at once. | 23:52 |
| crash_ | nosrednaekim: faulty cardbus drivers? | 23:52 |
| nosrednaekim | crash_: thats definately possible | 23:53 |
| crash_ | this doesnt make any sense | 23:54 |
| crash_ | !disable | 23:58 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about disable - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:58 |
| |neon| | e-sata hard drive it get reconginze but i have to go into settings/advance/disk&filesystem to mounted enable it everytime i reboot how can i make mount auto once i connect it? thx | 23:58 |
