| taghastien41 | wht dose it meen i have banned from the channel | 00:07 |
| dwidmann | taghastien41: banned means that an channel operator banned you and you can't re-enter the channel for a set period of time | 00:09 |
| taghastien41 | but why | 00:09 |
| taghastien41 | thanks | 00:09 |
| dwidmann | taghastien41: I usually it means you did something wrong | 00:10 |

| nosrednaekim | wilsonfrisk: yeah... but don't be stupid :P | 00:11 |
| nosrednaekim | wilsonfrisk: and never enter your sudo password if the brower asks for it | 00:11 |

| wilsonfrisk | nosrednaekim: k. sounds good. I think unless they get sudo i cannot get raeped. | 00:14 |
| MilitantPotato | Perso: also, if you own the folders in /media it helps (or did for me in gutsy) | 00:15 |
| nosrednaekim | wilsonfrisk: correct | 00:15 |
| Perso | MilitantPotato: in the past I hadn't such problem. What's new? :S | 00:15 |

| Perso | the thing is I hadn't write access in the past so I think I hadn't fuse either MilitantPotato | 00:16 |
| nosrednaekim | MilitantPotato: yes! it did | 00:17 |
| Perso | and I don't want to have write access I want ro access | 00:17 |
| MilitantPotato | nosrednaekim: did for me aswell. | 00:17 |
| MilitantPotato | Perso: edit the fstab so they mount with ro | 00:18 |
| Perso | yep, done. But it says again and again that MilitantPotato | 00:18 |

| MilitantPotato | It says to do it in the error message. | 00:19 |
| MilitantPotato | you probably should :) | 00:19 |
| Perso | no I didn't because until today I hadn't that problem MilitantPotato. | 00:20 |
| Perso | I was happy in the past :S... :) | 00:20 |

| _SharXx_- | S.a | 00:41 |
| Choreboy | I need some general support, anyone feeling particularly helpful? | 00:43 |
| Jucato | try asking the actual question, then we'll find out | 00:43 |
| Choreboy | fair enough | 00:43 |
| will00 | is there a special procedure that must be followed to install kubuntu on a cf card? | 00:43 |
| Choreboy | I have the latest version of Kubuntu, connecting to a windows network with Samba. I can open my various file types over the network, but I can't open any sort of video file. | 00:44 |
| Choreboy | I can copy the file locally then open, but it won't open over the network. | 00:44 |
| Jucato | oh samba... sorry I can't help there... | 00:45 |
| * Jucato has no samba :/ | 00:45 | |
| Choreboy | Hmm. It's the strangest thing. And I don't know ANYTHING about Linux... I'm trying to switch but when I run into problems it makes it hard to STAY switched :-( | 00:45 |
| crash_ | Pray with me now, as I try the upgrade process to Kubuntu 8 | 00:45 |
| robotgeek | Choreboy: hmm, lemme google | 00:46 |
| Choreboy | OK well how's this... I can't install java runtime environment, it errored out. Now I have 2 "updates" for Java, but they error as well. | 00:46 |
| Choreboy | Been using Adept package manager | 00:47 |
| Choreboy | or Adept installer or whatever it's called | 00:47 |
| crash_ | Adept Package Manager | 00:47 |
| Choreboy | it seems like I have to agree to Sun's terms to use Java but I don't know how to agree to it. | 00:47 |
| crash_ | but just Adept will do | 00:48 |
| Choreboy | I wish I knew more about Linux. I love the idea of everyone working together and making a great product by the people for the people | 00:48 |
| Choreboy | but it makes me feel like such an artard. | 00:48 |
| Choreboy | I have to re-learn everything :-\ | 00:49 |
| crash_ | No worries man | 00:49 |
| taghastien41 | thank u robot for ur anser i need a solution for my hdd locked and password forgotten and gtran 6210 modem driver | 00:49 |
| crash_ | Ive been a pc tech for 15 years | 00:49 |
| crash_ | Im just still learning linux | 00:49 |
| robotgeek | crash_: give me a second, i think i can find a link for you | 00:49 |
| crash_ | a link? | 00:49 |
| crash_ | for what? | 00:49 |
| crash_ | I havent asked a question :P | 00:49 |
| Choreboy | Yeah I'm fairly familiar with various workings of Windows, I always help friend with minor tech support, but I would love to switch to Linux full time and play around with different distributions. | 00:50 |
| robotgeek | sorry, i think i meant Choreboy | 00:50 |
| Choreboy | oh ok thanks. I googled it but I couldn't find much on the subject | 00:50 |
| mneptok | Choreboy: <tab><enter> | 00:51 |
| robotgeek | Choreboy: hit f12, or more details and accept it | 00:51 |
| crash_ | lol mneptok thats kinda cheating, isnt it? | 00:51 |
| mneptok | Choreboy: there is an <OK> field at the bottom of the Sun EULA | 00:51 |
| Choreboy | what does tab enter do? | 00:51 |
| Ketrel | I'm having trouble compiling something, I want to compile kanjipad 2.0, but I keep getting errors | 00:51 |
| Choreboy | Yeah I couldn't figure out how to get there | 00:51 |
| Choreboy | hmmm | 00:51 |
| mneptok | Choreboy: selects the <OK> button and then presses it | 00:51 |
| Choreboy | let me give it a shot, hold your breath | 00:51 |
| crash_ | Ketrel: pastebin your errors. I cant help fix it, but I can tell you thats the first thing they want you to do., | 00:52 |
| Choreboy | should I uninstall what I have and reinstall, or just install the "updates" | 00:52 |
| Ketrel | ok | 00:52 |
| Ketrel | one moment | 00:52 |
| Choreboy | ok it shows me the EULA but I have no way to get to the <ok> | 00:53 |
| Choreboy | tab enter doesn't work, mouse is a no go... | 00:54 |
| crash_ | hm | 00:54 |
| Choreboy | it's just a bunch of pretty text on my screen that I can't access | 00:54 |
| crash_ | if it were windows, I would give you the kb shortcuts to arrow the window around until you could see | 00:54 |
| crash_ | tried just hitting enter? | 00:55 |
| Ketrel_ | crash_: Here's the pastebin http://pastebin.ca/1001104 | 00:55 |
| Choreboy | I can see the <ok> but I have no way to get a cursor in there to click on type or anything | 00:55 |
| mneptok | Choreboy: the mouse does not work in a terminal, sir | 00:55 |
| Choreboy | I figured that but anything is worth a shot | 00:55 |
| mneptok | Choreboy: press <tab>. then press <enter>. it's not a key combo. | 00:56 |
| Choreboy | I played around with it for a half hour before I went seeking help | 00:56 |
| Choreboy | tried that too. Tried them separate, tried them together. | 00:56 |
| mneptok | Choreboy: and make sure the window is selected. | 00:56 |
| crash_ | Ketrel_: Im sorry if I wasn't clear. *I* dont know squat about compiler errors. But the folks who CAN help you will want that pastebin | 00:56 |
| Choreboy | yes it's the active window | 00:56 |
| Choreboy | I don't know what a pastebin is | 00:56 |
| crash_ | !pastebin | 00:56 |
| ubot5 | 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) | 00:56 |
| Jucato | Ketrel_: looks like you'll have to ask in a kanjipad channel or help forums. it looks like an error in their source code | 00:57 |
| Jucato | Ketrel_: is there a reason you don't want to use the kanjipad package in our repositories? | 00:57 |
| crash_ | I thought the same. But I was nowhere near confident enough to say it | 00:57 |
| Ketrel_ | Jucato: I'm trying to compile it first and then ask my second question "Can I use Linux to compile a windows binary of it" | 00:58 |
| mneptok | Ketrel_: no. | 00:58 |
| Jucato | no | 00:59 |
| Choreboy | I think my Kubuntu is broken. I guess Geek Squad will have to save me. | 00:59 |
| Choreboy | Lol I kid, I kid. | 00:59 |
| Ketrel_ | Damn, that sucks :( | 00:59 |
| nixbox | i installed windows and it wiped the ubuntu bootloader, i do not have the live CD anymore, is there a way to restore ubuntu bootloader or boot into ubuntu other than using the live CD? | 01:00 |
| Ketrel_ | I can't figure out how to get a workable enviornment to compile it on windows :\ | 01:00 |
| Ketrel_ | I've been looking forever for a program that did exactly that | 01:00 |
| mneptok | Ketrel_: does it claim to work with Windows? | 01:00 |
| Jucato | !grub | nixbox | 01:00 |
| ubot5 | nixbox: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 01:00 |
| Jucato | nixbox: see the first link ^^^^ | 01:01 |
| Choreboy | You know guys, I have only been running Kubuntu since 8.04 was officially released and I don't have much on here... maybe I should just format and reinstall? | 01:01 |
| Choreboy | because I am just not having luck with Samba, Java, etc. | 01:01 |
| robotgeek | Choreboy: no, you don't do that in Linux! | 01:01 |
| Choreboy | oh my. | 01:01 |
| robotgeek | heh | 01:01 |
| Choreboy | well what DO I do? | 01:01 |
| Choreboy | Samba won't let me open any video files over my network, Adept is giving me fits installing Java.. | 01:02 |
| robotgeek | Choreboy: your samba thing, we will deal with later. first, you java thing | 01:02 |
| Choreboy | ok Java it is. | 01:02 |
| luis | buenas | 01:03 |
| nosrednaekim | psyco: hey... could you help Choreboy with his java? probably has the same problem as you | 01:03 |
| Choreboy | Do you guys type my name like "Choreboy:" or do you have a shortcut that throws my name down for ya? | 01:03 |
| luis | hello | 01:03 |
| Choreboy | I don't know jack about IRC either I just installed this so I could get some Linux help | 01:03 |
| robotgeek | Choreboy: i type <c <press tab key> and it completes it for me | 01:03 |
| Choreboy | ah that's handy | 01:03 |
| luis | hi need some help | 01:04 |
| nosrednaekim | luis: whats the problem? | 01:04 |
| luis | :) I'm a newbie | 01:04 |
| robotgeek | Choreboy: also leads to typing wrong names, if you dont watch it | 01:04 |
| nosrednaekim | luis: thats not a problem per se ;P | 01:04 |
| luis | I have just installed the new kubuntu 8.04 with the kde4 | 01:04 |
| nosrednaekim | Choreboy: ok, did yu install the sun java packages from the repositories? | 01:05 |
| luis | now to get connected to internet, I need to install the package br2684ctl | 01:05 |
| Choreboy | I tried to with Adept but it did not finish installing | 01:05 |
| Choreboy | it had an error, it seems to be PARTIALLY installed | 01:05 |
| ahmos | hi. what is the patch name that makes icons zoom in when i click them | 01:05 |
| Choreboy | I never agreed to the EULA | 01:05 |
| luis | my problem is that without internet, I don't know how to download and install a package :) | 01:06 |
| yoyoma | hello, i'm running kubuntu 8.04 but i don't get the flashy compiz stuff (cube effect and all). how do i get that going? | 01:06 |
| nosrednaekim | yoyoma: system->desktop effects | 01:06 |
| Choreboy | wait I thought Compiz was not on Kubuntu, just on Ubuntu | 01:06 |
| nosrednaekim | Choreboy: it works on kubuntu too | 01:06 |
| Choreboy | shows what I know | 01:07 |
| luis | now, I'm using the old kubuntu right now at the same computer, I'd like to know how to download the package br2684ctl so I can reboot in kubuntu 8.04 and then install it | 01:07 |
| Choreboy | which is very little unfortunately | 01:07 |
| yoyoma | ok, i've done that.... installed and told it extra effects | 01:07 |
| nosrednaekim | luis: ok... one second | 01:07 |
| yoyoma | i still don't get the cube or anything spectacular looking | 01:07 |
| yoyoma | my minimize and maximize looks cool though | 01:07 |
| nosrednaekim | yoyoma: ok... did you try Ctrl+alt+arrow? | 01:07 |
| yoyoma | yeah. i get a little rectangle in the middle with arrows on it | 01:07 |
| yoyoma | not a 3d cube that looks cool | 01:07 |
| nosrednaekim | yoyoma: or you can just set it to custom and install compizconfig-settings-manager | 01:08 |
| nosrednaekim | yoyoma: ah ok... its got the wrong plugin set up | 01:08 |
| nosrednaekim | ccsm should fix that | 01:08 |
| lwizardl | hi | 01:08 |
| lwizardl | anyone here have a Digiwave or Twinhan 103G DVB card? | 01:08 |
| yoyoma | apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 01:08 |
| nosrednaekim | Choreboy: ok, try installing java again, and agree to the EULA | 01:08 |
| nosrednaekim | yoyoma: with a sudo, yes | 01:08 |
| Choreboy | so uninstall (if possible) then reinstall? | 01:08 |
| Choreboy | hopefully I can un-do whatever it has done | 01:09 |
| dwidmann | These random reboots are driving me *crazy* | 01:09 |
| Jucato | Choreboy: uninstall isn't always the answer. where are you now? I mean what problem? | 01:09 |
| mneptok | Choreboy: use a terminal | 01:09 |
| Choreboy | I don't know how to use terminal :-( | 01:09 |
| mneptok | Choreboy: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin | 01:09 |
| Choreboy | I am Linux retarded. | 01:09 |
| Jucato | Choreboy: we'll guide you | 01:09 |
| mneptok | Choreboy: good thing i just told you | 01:09 |
| o0Chris0o | whats the off topic channel? also..whats kde4 channel? | 01:10 |
| Choreboy | ok sudo apt-get here I come | 01:10 |
| Jucato | you just have to type in or copy-paste the commands | 01:10 |
| Jucato | o0Chris0o: #kubuntu-offtopic and #kubuntu-kde4 respectively | 01:10 |
| Choreboy | i've done a sudo apt-get install before | 01:10 |
| yoyoma | nosrednaekim: sweet. i see a zillion options now. thanks! | 01:10 |
| nosrednaekim | luis: I'm not seeing a package by that name in hardy... | 01:10 |
| Jucato | Choreboy: so you're not as retarded as you think you are :) | 01:11 |
| lwizardl | I'm trying to install my Digiwave 103G DVB-S card and I don't know what I need to do to install this card. I'm a DVB newbie | 01:11 |
| o0Chris0o | Jucato: ty | 01:11 |
| Choreboy | well only because I've been stumbling along blindly, I don't exactly know what I'm doing I just try random things :-) | 01:11 |
| luis | no? | 01:11 |
| Choreboy | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 01:12 |
| nosrednaekim | lwizardl: check out th hardware support page.,.unfortunately the bot is not with us right now so you'll have to google it up | 01:12 |
| luis | well, I'had that package with the old kubuntu 7.10 | 01:12 |
| nosrednaekim | Choreboy: close any package managers... | 01:12 |
| nosrednaekim | !aptfix | 01:12 |
| ubot5 | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 01:12 |
| mneptok | Choreboy: close Synaptic or any other package management apps | 01:12 |
| Choreboy | I had Adept open. My bad. | 01:12 |
| Jucato | Choreboy: close Adept if it is running | 01:12 |
| * Jucato nods | 01:12 | |
| * mneptok notices what channel this is | 01:13 | |
| yoyoma | holy cow this is cool | 01:13 |
| * Jucato notices mneptok is in here :) | 01:13 | |
| yoyoma | thanks a bunch. time for dinner | 01:13 |
| mneptok | yoyoma: what video card? | 01:13 |
| yoyoma | eh... nothing good right now | 01:13 |
| yoyoma | my radeon died the other day | 01:13 |
| mneptok | that's not an answer | 01:13 |
| yoyoma | this is an older gforce | 01:13 |
| mneptok | sudo spt-get install nvidia-settings | 01:14 |
| mneptok | *apt | 01:14 |
| mneptok | kinda like compizconfig-settings-manager for your vidcard | 01:14 |
| yoyoma | sweet | 01:14 |
| Jucato | mneptok: nvidia-settings conflicts with nvidia-glx stuff | 01:14 |
| Choreboy | I'm still locked | 01:14 |
| Jucato | iirc | 01:14 |
| nosrednaekim | !aptfix | 01:14 |
| ubot5 | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 01:14 |
| Jucato | !aptfix | Choreboy | 01:14 |
| mneptok | Jucato: oh? working here. | 01:14 |
| ubot5 | Choreboy: please see above | 01:14 |
| Choreboy | and I've closed Adept | 01:14 |
| yoyoma | ok, one thing's gotta go. now whatever window the mouse is over gets focus without clicking. | 01:15 |
| Jucato | nosrednaekim: it helps if you pipe the factoids to people during busy hours :) | 01:15 |
| nosrednaekim | yoyoma: general->focus IIRC | 01:15 |
| mneptok | yoyoma: FFM | 01:15 |
| Jucato | mneptok: oh I thought... it was before.. aaanyway :) | 01:15 |
| mneptok | Jucato: maybe nvidia-glx-legacy? i can see the config panel choking on a Riva TNT. ;) | 01:15 |
| Jucato | oh yeah.. maybe legacy :) | 01:16 |
| yoyoma | nosrednaekim: that was it. thanks. | 01:16 |
| yoyoma | mneptok: what's FFM? | 01:16 |
| mneptok | "You want me to do WHAT?! Dude! I'm *so* 1998!" | 01:16 |
| mneptok | yoyoma: focus follows mouse | 01:16 |
| Choreboy | Package sun-java6-plugin is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 01:17 |
| Choreboy | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 01:17 |
| Choreboy | is only available from another source | 01:17 |
| yoyoma | mneptok: ok. got that disabled... that was annoying. | 01:17 |
| rrr3 | hmmm | 01:17 |
| mneptok | Choreboy: you'll need to enable the Multiverse repo and update | 01:17 |
| luis | give me a hint, how can I download a package so I can reboot later and install it | 01:17 |
| luis | ? | 01:18 |
| yoyoma | i got a crash. i better restart X | 01:18 |
| rrr3 | what is GLX exactly | 01:18 |
| Choreboy | say one were to enable a Multiverse repository, how would one go about doing that | 01:18 |
| Jaso | !mp3 | 01:18 |
| ubot5 | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 01:18 |
| Jucato | mneptok: shouldn't uni and multi be enabled by default since feisty? | 01:18 |
| Jucato | Choreboy: are you an a 64-bit system? | 01:18 |
| Choreboy | yes | 01:18 |
| Choreboy | 64 bit dualcore AMD | 01:19 |
| robotgeek | ah :) | 01:19 |
| Jucato | no wonder :) | 01:19 |
| nosrednaekim | ^_^ | 01:19 |
| alexandra | Hi all | 01:19 |
| Choreboy | ah now it all makes so much sense! | 01:19 |
| Choreboy | wait no it doesnt.... | 01:19 |
| Choreboy | Java doesn't work on 64 bit? | 01:19 |
| yoyoma | how come you can't have more than one desktop in kde? | 01:20 |
| Jucato | the sun-java6-plugin doesn't | 01:20 |
| Choreboy | ahhh | 01:20 |
| Choreboy | well I guess that's my bad for not mentioning it, I didn't realize it would be a problem | 01:20 |
| Choreboy | but hey everyone I gotta say I really appreciate all the effort helping me out on this stuff. | 01:20 |
| yoyoma | Choreboy: these people are great | 01:20 |
| Jucato | Choreboy: Flash and Java have problems on 64-bit. as well as win32codecs stuff | 01:20 |
| yoyoma | i pop in every now and then with some stupid problem, and they save me hours of googling | 01:21 |
| Choreboy | yeah hopefully when I learn Linux better I can help out some other no0b | 01:21 |
| Jucato | Choreboy: I think there are some docs that point out how to make Java work on 64-bit | 01:21 |

| Jucato | see that link Choreboy ^^^ it might help | 01:21 |
| Choreboy | can do, thanks | 01:21 |
| robotgeek | Choreboy: if you are new to Linux, I would recommend going 32 bit first | 01:21 |
| luis | hi | 01:21 |
| Choreboy | I didn't know I would crop up with problems I just wanted to get the best performance possible | 01:22 |
| nosrednaekim | luis: hi... sorry, couldn't find that package | 01:22 |
| nosrednaekim | !info br2684ctl | 01:22 |
| ubot5 | br2684ctl: Utility for configuring RFC 2684 ATM/Ethernet bridging. In component universe, is extra. Version 20040226-1 (gutsy), package size 7 kB, installed size 64 kB | 01:22 |
| Choreboy | as a matter of fact I think i remember something about using a different kernel for dual core... would that have installed automatically with the AMD64 Kubuntu? | 01:22 |
| nosrednaekim | Choreboy: if you have less that 4Gigs of ram, you won't nitice a performance difference | 01:22 |
| nosrednaekim | luis: oh.. there is it... | 01:23 |
| luis | how can I download it, so I can reboot later in the new kubuntu and install it? | 01:23 |
| nosrednaekim | !packages | luis | 01:23 |
| ubot5 | luis: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 01:23 |
| Choreboy | Well I will have 4gb in the future but at the moment, notsomuch. | 01:23 |
| nosrednaekim | luis: go to that website a search for it | 01:23 |
| nosrednaekim | Choreboy: then go 32 bit | 01:24 |
| yoyoma | What's a "meta mode" in NVIDIA-X Server Settings? | 01:24 |
| nosrednaekim | Later guys... dinner time | 01:24 |
| luis | my problem is that my modem doesn't work yet | 01:24 |
| yoyoma | bye, thanks for the help | 01:24 |

| Choreboy | I thought I read something that flash would work even on the 64 bit system? | 01:25 |
| mneptok | well, you get Gnash. Gnash is to Flash what RuPaul is to Natalie Portman. | 01:25 |
| rrr3 | openaI use flash on amd64 | 01:25 |

| Choreboy | Sorry gang, but was my final answer that there will be no Java for me using 64bit? | 01:34 |
| Fa | ok what is java? | 01:34 |
| Jaso | coreymon77: hey | 01:34 |
| Fa | is that coffee for your computer? | 01:34 |
| robotgeek | !java > Fa | 01:34 |
| rrr3 | Fa: a language and SDK, that becomed GPL 5 years too late | 01:34 |
| Fa | i'm kidding | 01:34 |
| Fa | hehe | 01:34 |
| dwidmann | Choreboy: use ia32-sun-java6* and a 32-bit browser | 01:34 |
| Jucato | Choreboy: didn't you read the URL I gave earlier? | 01:35 |
| dwidmann | Choreboy: assuming what you want is the plugin | 01:35 |
| mneptok | Choreboy: for 64-bit you're going to use IcedTea | 01:35 |
| Choreboy | yes the plugin will do fine | 01:35 |
| Fa | i only need flash | 01:35 |
| Choreboy | IcedTea instead. I'll give that a shot | 01:35 |
| mneptok | Choreboy: sudo apt-get install icedtea-java7-plugin | 01:35 |
| robotgeek | icedtea, wow i have been away too long | 01:35 |

| harris | oKAY what's Is K in KDE? | 01:36 |
| dwidmann | rrr3: depending on how you look at it, even later, seein as there still hasn't been a gpl'd release | 01:37 |
| Jucato | harris: it was previously "Kool", but that name only lasted a few days. now it's just "K" | 01:37 |
| yoyoma | ok, i got the desktop effects working, but X crashed and i had to restart X. now, the effects aren't working, even though they're installed and "i believe" enabled | 01:37 |
| Fa | K for kamakazi | 01:37 |
| Jucato | harris: read stuff in www.kde.org if you want to know more | 01:37 |
| harris | which is better KDE or GNOME? | 01:37 |
| robotgeek | harris: originally Kool, but now stands for KDE | 01:38 |
| Jucato | !better | harris | 01:38 |

| genii | harris: Neither window manager is really better or worse than the other. It just depends on how you like to interact with your computer. | 01:39 |
| Fa | i have to agree | 01:39 |
| Fa | i prefer kde obviously | 01:39 |
| Choreboy | While I brew myself some IcedTea, can someone please tell me again where to go for desktop effects? | 01:40 |
| yoyoma | System -> Desktop Effects | 01:40 |
| robotgeek | Choreboy: K-Menu -> system -> Desktop effects | 01:40 |
| robotgeek | :) | 01:40 |
| yoyoma | robotgeek: do you know why they would not be working, even if enabled? they worked a few minutes ago until X server crashed. i rebooted to xfix and now they're not working | 01:41 |
| Choreboy | I went to SYSTEM, there is no Desktop Effects in there. | 01:41 |
| yoyoma | Are you on 8.04? | 01:41 |
| Choreboy | yep | 01:41 |
| yoyoma | hmm | 01:41 |
| yoyoma | what ver of KDE? | 01:41 |
| Choreboy | K>System>nada | 01:41 |
| Choreboy | KDE4 | 01:41 |
| yoyoma | oh... hmm | 01:41 |
| yoyoma | try lost and found or something like that | 01:42 |
| Choreboy | maybe somewhere in system settings? | 01:42 |
| robotgeek | kde4 might have it in a different place | 01:42 |
| Jucato | Choreboy: I don't think it's available for KDE 4 though | 01:42 |
| yoyoma | KDE4 hasn't won me over at all... since the fonts are like .000004mm tall in it | 01:42 |
| Jucato | try asking in #kubuntu-kde4 | 01:42 |
| Fa | it's not Jucato | 01:42 |
| Choreboy | alright let me see what they have to say about it | 01:42 |
| dwidmann | Does anybody, anybody at all, have any idea why my keyboard is getting random keypresses that shouldn't be happening? It's *very* annoying | 01:43 |
| Choreboy | spilled soda. | 01:43 |
| yoyoma | robotgeek: i think i figured it out. i think the xfix removed the 3d proprietary nvida driver | 01:43 |
| robotgeek | yoyoma: ah okay. | 01:43 |
| Choreboy | alright here's a fun question.. how do I get into a different IRC channel? | 01:44 |
| robotgeek | Choreboy: /j #kubuntu-offtopic | 01:44 |
| mneptok | /join #channelname | 01:44 |
| genii | Choreboy: /j #channelname | 01:44 |
| Jucato | oh for goodness' sake! just click on the channel name :P | 01:44 |
| robotgeek | dwidmann: is this a laptop? which os are you running? erc etc | 01:44 |
| dwidmann | robotgeek: no, kubuntu hardy | 01:44 |
| robotgeek | dwidmann: is it random in the sense that different keys appear, or type when nothing is hit? | 01:45 |
| Fa | hardy boys | 01:45 |
| dwidmann | robotgeek: specifically it is the left and right control keys, it's random in the sense that I didn't push the keys,k I found out because konqueror access keys nuts, so I ran xev and let it sit a few minutes | 01:46 |
| yoyoma | this is ironic. kde3+compiz is running much, much more smoothly on this old geforce 5200 than it did on my year old radeon | 01:47 |
| aaroncampbell | My printer quit working after the upgrade to 8.04. Here is some dmesg output: http://paste2.org/p/23921 | 01:48 |
| dwidmann | wow, I'm typing rather unintelligbly today | 01:49 |
| reagleBRKLN | hi, just installed 8.04 on my system. alsamixer and kplayer works fine as root, but as a user I get alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device | 01:50 |
| robotgeek | dwidmann: i am trying to lookup bugs on launchpad | 01:50 |
| rrr3 | reagleBRKLN: try adding self to audio group and re-loggingin | 01:50 |
| reagleBRKLN | is there someway to specify the device | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis | aaroncampbell, mine stops working, till i unplug/plug it back in.. its getting on my nerves | 01:50 |
| reagleBRKLN | rrr3: yes, did that | 01:50 |
| robotgeek | dwidmann: while you wait, paste the output of the command "xprop -root | grep XKB" | 01:51 |
| aaroncampbell | Dr_willis: it's a network printer | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis | aaroncampbell, im thinking theres some deeper cups issue going on. the printer-icon-status thing says it cant 'write to directory' | 01:51 |
| aaroncampbell | Dr_willis: Actually, my bluetooth kb/mouse doesn't work until I unplug the dongle and plug it back in... | 01:51 |
| dwidmann | robotgeek: _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "", "" | 01:51 |
| robotgeek | dwidmann: i have the same thing. are you sure your keyboard works okay? | 01:52 |
| reagleBRKLN | as user: alsamixer /dev/snd/controlC0 -> alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device | 01:52 |
| reagleBRKLN | but it does exist | 01:52 |
| reagleBRKLN | crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 0 Apr 28 20:36 /dev/snd/controlC0 | 01:52 |
| Choreboy | OK FYI everyone I got my answer, there is no Compiz on KDE4 by default | 01:53 |

| reagleBRKLN | i am in audio, and have relogged in | 01:53 |
| robotgeek | dwidmann: i mean physically, say on a different OS | 01:53 |
| dwidmann | robotgeek: I don't use other OSs. | 01:53 |
| rrr3 | Choreboy: so how to get compiz in kde | 01:53 |
| rrr3 | how to get compiz in kde on ubuntu 8.04 amd64 | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis | !compiz | 01:54 |
| ubot5 | Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion | 01:54 |
| robotgeek | dwidmann: okay, what about from a live cd? | 01:54 |
| dwidmann | this keyboard has _always_ worked in the past, ie, pre-hardy | 01:55 |
| Dr_willis | KDE4 has its own alternative to compiz, thus kde4 dosent need compiz | 01:55 |

| mrmonkeyman | is there no disks and file systems in 8.04? | 02:03 |
| genii | dd? | 02:03 |
| rignes | Speaking of clonezilla...I should make an image of this laptop..just incase. | 02:04 |
| comboman | what is dd? | 02:04 |
| Fa | lol rignes | 02:04 |
| robotgeek | Choreboy: is you hit ctrl + alt + f1, you should get a terminal | 02:04 |
| Braeloch | I have a problem, between Kubuntu and my widescreen monitor. I could use some help. | 02:05 |
| robotgeek | Braeloch: is it a 1680x1050 ? | 02:05 |
| Braeloch | robotgeek: 1440x900 | 02:05 |
| crash_ | is there a command I need to run after inserting a cardbus device in order to make kubuntu "see" it? | 02:05 |
| mrmonkeyman | what is the problem Braeloch I have the same screen | 02:06 |
| Choreboy | robotgeek: cntrl+alt+F1 just locked it up | 02:06 |
| Choreboy | at the login screen | 02:06 |
| robotgeek | Choreboy: eeks | 02:06 |
| Choreboy | eeks is right. Hard reset. | 02:07 |
| Braeloch | mrmonkeyman: When I boot into Kubuntu, everything is piled up on the right-hand side of my screen. It will not take advantage of the full widescreen 8:5 aspect ratio. (For the record, my video card is nVidia 8500 GT and the drivers are up to date.) | 02:07 |
| mrmonkeyman | Is there anything like kio-sysinfo that is working on 8.04? | 02:07 |
| DarkShinigami | How do I update GRUB? | 02:09 |
| mrmonkeyman | what version of kubuntu are you using? | 02:09 |
| reagleBRKLN | so, i can play an mp3 as a user with xine and here it, but not with mplayer or in kde apps... what could that be? | 02:09 |
| Braeloch | mrmonkeyman: 8-point-something. | 02:10 |
| bazhang | !grub | DarkShinigami | 02:10 |
| ubot5 | DarkShinigami: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 02:10 |
| robotgeek | reagleBRKLN: kde apps, as in kaffeine? | 02:10 |
| mrmonkeyman | K give me a sec | 02:11 |
| dwidmann | robotgeek: Well, I think I'll give the evdev driver a try before I go reporting bugs, if I remember right I have had this problem before and that's what I did ..... which would make it a kbd driver problem | 02:11 |
| Braeloch | mrmonkeyman: k | 02:11 |
| robotgeek | dwidmann: ah okay. cool | 02:12 |
| reagleBRKLN | aha, working now, will try a reboot and see if it hold | 02:12 |
| DarkShinigami | I didn't lose GRUB. I didn't update the kernel in menu.lst | 02:13 |
| mrmonkeyman | What does is say on System Settings/ Display? | 02:14 |
| Choreboy | is there a way to undo what I did to get the computer in the login loop? | 02:14 |
| Choreboy | because ctrl+alt+F1 is still locking it up at the login screen | 02:14 |
| Braeloch | mrmonkeyman: I am not logged into Kubuntu at the moment, because I don't know how to access IRC from it yet. (I am brand new to Kubuntu, having installed it on the recommendation of a friend who thought I'd enjoy a new experience.) | 02:15 |
| dwidmann | robotgeek: though ... I really should still report that bug, shoudl have done it two months ago and then I woudln't be dealing with it right now | 02:15 |
| robotgeek | dwidmann: yes you should :) | 02:16 |
| robotgeek | later | 02:16 |
| mrmonkeyman | oh, well in that case | 02:16 |
| mrmonkeyman | check there and make sure the resolution is correct | 02:16 |
| affan | hi all.... i am using Broadcom 4306 card for wireless. Do I have to use ndiswrapper? I remember last time i installed Kubuntu it worked without it | 02:16 |
| Braeloch | mrmonkeyman: How do I access System Settings? | 02:17 |
| mrmonkeyman | Also, I noticed on mine when I installed it that the whole screen was to the right as well and I changed the settings on the monitor itself | 02:17 |
| mrmonkeyman | I have it on my favorites | 02:18 |
| Braeloch | mrmonkeyman: When I tried to change the monitor itself, the menu display showed the screen was moving according to the changes I was making but Kubuntu itself didn't move at all. | 02:19 |
| crash__ | holy wootness! My wifi card decided to work!! | 02:20 |
| mrmonkeyman | then check the settings on a terminal type systemsettings | 02:21 |
| mrmonkeyman | to open it | 02:21 |
| Dr_willis | affan, if it dident need it befor.. I doubt if it needs it now. | 02:22 |
| Dr_willis | affan, there have been a lot of changes to the broadcom drivers however. | 02:22 |
| Choreboy | Can anyone help? My system is a giant toaster now :-( | 02:23 |
| crash__ | I have some pop-tarts.. | 02:23 |
| affan | Dr_willis: are there drivers for linux available from broadcom, do you know? | 02:23 |
| Choreboy | my cdrom refuses to toast. | 02:23 |
| Prem | Need help with wireless setup in Kubuntu 8.04 KDE 4 | 02:23 |
| Dr_willis | affan, I just had to in stall the bw fw cutter tools and my card worked. | 02:23 |
| Prem | I have Broadcom Wireless cards | 02:24 |
| Dr_willis | theres DOZENS of types of broadcom cards. :) | 02:25 |
| Prem | Can you walk through the setup? | 02:25 |
| Dr_willis | its the chipset of the card thats imporntant | 02:25 |
| Choreboy | huzzah I have logged into console! Now can someone tell me where to go from there to undo the damage I did by enabling desktop effects? | 02:25 |
| Prem | Broadcom BCM4312 | 02:25 |
| Prem | I got the "bcm43xx-fwcutter_20060108-6build1_amd64.deb" | 02:26 |
| Braeloch | mrmonkeyman: I'm going to log into Kubuntu. This is retarded, trying to jump back and forth. I'm hoping kvirc proves to be a capable IRC client. If so, I'll be back here in a few moments. | 02:26 |
| Prem | installing this will solve my problem? | 02:26 |
| Dr_willis | Prem, depends on your wireless cards specific chipset. | 02:27 |
| Prem | how do I find that? | 02:27 |
| mrmonkeyman | ok I'm using konversation | 02:27 |
| Dr_willis | Prem, i dont download specific debs. i grabbed the b43-fwcutter - Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware | 02:27 |
| Dr_willis | for my card | 02:27 |
| Dr_willis | !wireless | 02:27 |
| ubot5 | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 02:27 |
| Prem | there are so many docs there | 02:29 |
| Prem | which to look into? | 02:29 |
| mrmonkeyman | Is there an application for 8.04 that works like disks and filesystems did on 7.10? | 02:30 |
| Choreboy | my poor shiny new system is fubar. | 02:30 |
| rrr3 | Choreboy: hehe | 02:31 |
| rrr3 | Choreboy: have same problem | 02:32 |
| rrr3 | I installed the desktop effects and ubuntu FAILED | 02:32 |
| rrr3 | massivly | 02:32 |
| rrr3 | Choreboy: report bug to lunchpad, eventually someone will fix then | 02:32 |
| Choreboy | is there a way to undo the latest system changes? A system restore, if you will.. | 02:32 |
| Choreboy | I can't report a bug to anyone anywhere, I can't get on my syste | 02:32 |
| rrr3 | Choreboy: I guess you want to disable Xgl, googld how to do that. afair, like /etc/Xgl/disabled or something | 02:32 |
| rrr3 | Choreboy: report once you can, or get a laptop / livecd / etc | 02:33 |
| Choreboy | i have a live CD, can that help me repair my booboo? | 02:33 |
| affan_ | Dr_willis: i just installed fwcutter and it worked!! | 02:33 |
| rrr3 | Choreboy: first, report the bug, so that developers will know they failed. then they may fix it even :) | 02:34 |
| mrmonkeyman | Choreboy, rrr3 go there http://monkeyland.samutz.com/?page_id=25 | 02:34 |
| rrr3 | Choreboy: if you can't even go to console, then livecd would be helpfull | 02:34 |
| mrmonkeyman | it's not a bug | 02:34 |
| Dr_willis | affan_, magical eh? :) | 02:34 |
| mrmonkeyman | your xorg.conf file is just messed up | 02:34 |
| Choreboy | I a in console now | 02:34 |
| Choreboy | but I don't know what to do | 02:34 |
| affan_ | Dr_willis: let me restart and see if the magic holds ;) | 02:34 |
| mrmonkeyman | Choreboy, rrr3 go there http://monkeyland.samutz.com/?page_id=25 | 02:35 |
| rrr3 | mrmonkeyman: yeah | 02:35 |
| Dr_willis | Well so far under hardy.. I got Samba share browsing constantly breaking.. and my printer keeps gettting lost... :( | 02:35 |
| Choreboy | mrmonkeyman: thanks, but I fail to see what that has to do with my login loop problem? | 02:35 |
| rrr3 | Dr_willis: I found a number of failures in ubuntu 8.04, using it only today | 02:36 |
| rrr3 | Dr_willis: report them all | 02:36 |
| Dr_willis | rrr3, i had reported them.. ages ago. | 02:36 |
| aaroncampbell | genii: Thanks for that link to the appArmour printing bug, it WAS the problem, and I can print again. You don't have any magic solutions for sound that stopped working do you? | 02:36 |
| rrr3 | Dr_willis: then bug developers | 02:36 |
| Daisuke-Ido | Dr_willis: thank you, you just reminded me i have to re-set up my printer :) | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | rrr3, i cant seem to figure out the cause. cant find any rhyme or reason for why its doing it. | 02:37 |
| mrmonkeyman | your login loop problem is because when you log in it tries to load the desktop effects but fails and takes you back to login screen | 02:37 |
| genii | aaroncampbell: Hehe if Intel HDA possibly | 02:37 |
| rrr3 | Dr_willis: bug cannonical to get moving, or stop lying that the system is mature and stable | 02:37 |
| Choreboy | KDE4 desktop effects, nothing to do with Compiz | 02:37 |
| mrmonkeyman | so you need to disable the desktop effects through console which only way to do that is by fixking the xorg.conf file | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | rrr3, should i demand a refund also! | 02:37 |
| genii | aaroncampbell: There is an !intelhda factoid here for solving that one | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 02:37 |
| rrr3 | Dr_willis: well, it is 250 usd for the support | 02:37 |
| Prem | Dr_willis I'm lost in Doc list | 02:37 |
| Prem | for Wifi | 02:38 |
| Choreboy | fix the xorg.conf file, check. I have no idea what that means but it sounds like the right thing to do. | 02:38 |
| aaroncampbell | genii: I'm pretty sure that's what I did with gutsy, but it didn't seem to work with Hardy :| | 02:38 |
| Dr_willis | Prem, you know about as much about wifi as I do now.. You are on your own from there. :) | 02:38 |
| Prem | :) | 02:38 |
| aaroncampbell | !intelhda | 02:38 |
| ubot5 | For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 02:38 |
| robotgeek | Prem: what card do you have? | 02:38 |
| mrmonkeyman | kde4 desktop effects is compiz | 02:38 |
| genii | aaroncampbell: Yeah thats the one. Sound issues are not my strong area normally however. | 02:39 |
| aaroncampbell | Thanks | 02:39 |
| Choreboy | you sure? #Kubuntu-KDE4 told me there is no Compiz | 02:39 |
| mrmonkeyman | go to /etc/X11/ | 02:39 |
| klobster | I got issues with dpkg, it kicks out an error with exit status 139. Any ideas? | 02:39 |
| klobster | and hi | 02:39 |
| mrmonkeyman | its' the same thing, does the same thing | 02:40 |
| mrmonkeyman | ubuntu did the same thing since i don't know what version where they put nice | 02:40 |
| mrmonkeyman | button that said enable desktop effects | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis | KDE4 has its own alternative to compiz. | 02:40 |
| mrmonkeyman | which would install compiz | 02:40 |
| mrmonkeyman | yes but it does the same thing | 02:40 |
| Dr_willis | Its not 'compiz' however. | 02:40 |
| mrmonkeyman | its' still 3d desktop effects | 02:41 |
| Dr_willis | actually it has less features then compiz | 02:41 |
| Dr_willis | its not the compiz program, or code. its a similer feature. - if you want kde and compiz, use kde3 and install the compiz stuff. | 02:41 |
| mrmonkeyman | but if it messes up just like compiz does do you not fix it the same way as u do compiz | 02:42 |
| klobster | what is the command for the running process gui? | 02:42 |
| mrmonkeyman | by taking out all the extra stuff on xorg.conf | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | My xorg.conf is about as minimal as they get. | 02:43 |
| rrr3 | lol they really failed | 02:43 |
| Dr_willis | I dont know what you would do in xorg.conf go 'fix' compiz really. Ive never had to do so. | 02:43 |
| rrr3 | everyone seems to have this "uh I will try this cool 3d stuff... AYEEEEEE my desktop is borked!!!!" problem. | 02:43 |
| klobster | also, now when I run a nonexistant command in kstart -> run, it opens a firefox window searching for it?!? | 02:43 |
| Dr_willis | Compiz is still very much a work in progress | 02:44 |
| toyo|desk | is there a way that I can remove KDE3 and only have KDE 4 | 02:44 |
| Dr_willis | toyo|desk, given the lack of features of kde4, you proberly dont want to just use kde4 | 02:44 |
| klobster | also i borked webmin | 02:44 |
| toyo|desk | oh I see | 02:44 |
| toyo|desk | Dr_willis, but it is technically possible? | 02:44 |
| klobster | and i am still on gutsy | 02:45 |
| mrmonkeyman | then how would one disable the desktop effects? | 02:45 |
| === XaO is now known as Anim | ||
| Dr_willis | toyo|desk, of course.. theres even a kubuntu isntall cd that has kde4 instead of kde3 | 02:46 |
| toyo|desk | oh ok | 02:46 |
| toyo|desk | hmm well then | 02:46 |
| Dr_willis | mrmonkeyman, kde4 has some setting tools/check box's to disable all that stuff. | 02:46 |
| toyo|desk | I will look into that later I think | 02:46 |
| toyo|desk | :D | 02:46 |
| mrmonkeyman | yeah but u need to be in gui to check that | 02:46 |
| toyo|desk | anyway bbl | 02:47 |
| Choreboy | I have to go, gang. Thanks for the help. I have not fixed this problem though, so you may see me in the near future | 02:47 |
| Dr_willis | mrmonkeyman, err.. so? Ive totally lost the point of this discussion now... was there an original problem? | 02:47 |
| Choreboy | but at the moment this Linux user needs to go get some luvins. Yes, rare... but it does happen. | 02:48 |
| mrmonkeyman | yes, desktop effects are not working to the point where you can't log into the gui | 02:48 |
| Dr_willis | mrmonkeyman, compiz has a speficic file/setting in the users home dir - that can disable compiz, thats not having anything to do with exiting the xorg.conf file. as for kde4's settings. No idea there. I dont mess with kde4 . ask in the kde4 channel if they have a similer feature. | 02:49 |
| michael__ | Why is the KDE web browser so slow? | 02:50 |
| mrmonkeyman | k, I was trying to help choreboy he was the one with the problem | 02:50 |
| Fa | is it? | 02:50 |
| michael__ | It's slow compared to Firefox | 02:50 |
| Dr_willis | ive totally missed the original problem then. :) | 02:50 |
| mrmonkeyman | Now if you want to know my problem though, its that I cannot find disks and file systems on 8.04 with kde4 | 02:51 |
| mrmonkeyman | in the system settings | 02:52 |
| michael__ | I'm upgrading to 8.04 now | 02:52 |
| Fa | have fun michael | 02:52 |
| michael__ | It's almost done with the download | 02:52 |
| michael__ | I had regular Ubuntu Hardy but I decided to go with the KDE version | 02:53 |
| Dr_willis | I went back to gnome... and realized WHY i gave up on gnome now. | 02:53 |
| Dr_willis | The gnome file manager just dosent 'work' the way I work... :) with managing files. | 02:53 |
| michael__ | I usually use the best from both desktops | 02:54 |
| michael__ | works best that way | 02:54 |
| michael__ | I don't really like the Dolphin file manager | 02:55 |
| Dr_willis | yea. but its the default gnome file manager i have issues with. :) | 02:55 |
| michael__ | See I like the default Gnome file manager | 02:55 |
| mrmonkeyman | what is the best way of managing hard drives and partions with kde? | 02:55 |
| michael__ | Dolphin is a pain because if you go to the root you have to login as root | 02:55 |
| Dr_willis | and how it does this 'shift click to move/select a range' stuff..is constantly messing up on me.. I go back to using mc in a terminal window. | 02:55 |
| Dr_willis | mrmonkeyman, manage how? Ive used the parted tools to resize, and alter them and so forth. | 02:56 |
| michael__ | See when I have Dolphin I use the Xterminal | 02:56 |
| michael__ | It's easier to command line | 02:56 |
| Dr_willis | I normally remove Dolphin. :) | 02:57 |
| mrmonkeyman | in that way | 02:57 |
| michael__ | My Kubuntu is on it's own drive as is my XP | 02:57 |
| michael__ | If I could play my games with Wine I would get rid of windows completely | 02:58 |
| dwidmann | How exactly does KDE's CPU load sensor work with regards to SMP systems? Does it measure the collective load where 100% = all logical CPUs maxed out? | 02:58 |
| mrmonkeyman | just wanting something more graphical | 02:59 |
| dwidmann | Dr_willis: d3lphin or dolphin? | 02:59 |
| genii | dwidmann: On my box it seems to go more like: 1st cpu hits 80-85% other 3 are ~7% each and the load sensor says 25% etc | 02:59 |
| michael__ | We're trying to convince our boss to get rid of Vista on our Machines at work and put Linux on them. Since most of what we do is browser and remote desktop based | 03:00 |

| rignes | Fa: I'm not as impressed by KDE4 as I thought I would be. | 03:00 |
| dwidmann | genii: I'm going to assume that's a yes | 03:00 |
| Fa | give it time rignes | 03:01 |
| genii | dwidmann: Basically yes. Although it doesn't do something like work all cpus equally, it maxes #1 then works on #2, and so on | 03:01 |
| dwidmann | rignes: a) it may grow on you - b) it's not going to be "complete" until august | 03:01 |

| lord | hola | 03:01 |
| dwidmann | genii: which is why I'm using taskset to force things like kcryptd onto #4 | 03:02 |
| genii | dwidmann: Ah, OK :) | 03:02 |
| rignes | dwidmann: It may. We'll see. ;) | 03:02 |
| lord | hola a todosss | 03:02 |
| rignes | It has a nice smooth look. | 03:02 |
| lord | alguien que porfa me pueda ayudar muchas gracias | 03:02 |
| genii | !es | lord | 03:03 |
| ubot5 | lord: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 03:03 |
| dwidmann | genii: it's really annoying the way it does that like you said ... results in the system slowing down, a lot. | 03:03 |
| lord | gracias muchas gracias | 03:03 |
| dwidmann | genii: IMO I shouldn't have to taskset for my system to be usable under load :( | 03:04 |
| genii | dwidmann: I'd definitely like to see each cpu being used equally instead. Because it puts more load on the first few a lot | 03:04 |
| genii | (the way it currently is) | 03:04 |
| Dr_willis | dwidmann, Both. :) | 03:05 |
| Dr_willis | work time for me. | 03:05 |
| dwidmann | genii: I wonder if there are any kernel options to alter how it loads the CPUs | 03:07 |
| dwidmann | genii: compile time ... that is | 03:07 |
| genii | dwidmann: No idea | 03:07 |
| o0Chris0o | kubuntu is pretty cool and all..but some of the settings arent there like on kde3...like screensavers...the configure taskbar..etc | 03:07 |
| o0Chris0o | weird | 03:07 |
| mrmonkeyman | it seems more gnome like now like if they don't want you to configure anything | 03:08 |
| klobster | hello! | 03:09 |
| o0Chris0o | yeah | 03:09 |
| o0Chris0o | damn it | 03:09 |
| o0Chris0o | oops | 03:09 |
| o0Chris0o | sorry | 03:09 |
| klobster | adept is giving me issues, any help? | 03:09 |
| dwidmann | o0Chris0o: KDE4 isn't finished yet, things you're missing now will likely be present in August | 03:09 |
| Ahmuck | . | 03:09 |
| dwidmann | mrmonkeyman: sad I know :( | 03:10 |
| o0Chris0o | I see | 03:10 |
| o0Chris0o | so I switched to kde4 for nothing :( | 03:10 |
| o0Chris0o | lol | 03:10 |
| Braeloch | mrmonkeyman: Well, no luck. | 03:10 |
| o0Chris0o | how do I install kde3 and get rid of kde4? | 03:10 |
| o0Chris0o | lol | 03:10 |
| dwidmann | o0Chris0o: you can still use it some, find some bugs for devs to squash | 03:11 |
| Braeloch | mrmonkeyman: And I didn't realize you had to teach Kubuntu how to run an install program. I clicked the setup icon for KVIRC and it asked me what program I wanted to associate *.exe files with. So I was left baffled. | 03:11 |
| Ahmuck | follow the white rabbit | 03:11 |
| o0Chris0o | dwidmann: yeah I could, but I am not really good bug finding person | 03:12 |
| mrmonkeyman | if it was a *.exe then you need wine to install it | 03:12 |
| Braeloch | mrmonkeyman: I'm beginning to suspect you have to be a total geek to enjoy Kubuntu. | 03:12 |
| aaroncampbell | genii: Found my sound issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/213206 | 03:13 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 213206 in linux "SoundMAX AD1988B- no digital audio" [Undecided,New] | 03:13 |
| mrmonkeyman | you know, try 7.10 with kde3 and you will enjoy yourself a lot more | 03:13 |
| RurouniJones | Or it sounded like you downloaded the wrong kvirc binary | 03:13 |
| genii | aaroncampbell: Looks like you're two for two on solutions so far :) | 03:13 |
| aaroncampbell | no solution for that one yet :| | 03:13 |
| mrmonkeyman | I'm finding I'm having to many headaches with this new 8.04 version that I hve not had since 6.06 | 03:13 |
| genii | aaroncampbell: Ah, too bad :( | 03:13 |
| aaroncampbell | yeah | 03:14 |
| Braeloch | mrmonkeyman: Anyhow, I found System Settings and checked out the Monitor/Display settings. Everything looked as it should. Resolution was set to 1440x900, refresh rate was correct, it recognized my monitor and video card, etc, etc. And yet this problem. | 03:14 |
| mrmonkeyman | That's weird, because it sounds like everything is correct to where it should work, I can't think of anything else...Sorry :( | 03:15 |
| o0Chris0o | whats the difference bentween ubuntu and kubuntu besides the GUI? is gnome pretty good? | 03:15 |
| mrmonkeyman | gnome is i look pretty but wont let you configure much | 03:15 |
| mrmonkeyman | its more mac like | 03:15 |
| o0Chris0o | I see | 03:16 |
| o0Chris0o | I like the weather feature you can put in the toolbar | 03:16 |
| Braeloch | mrmonkeyman: I'm baffling anyone I talk to. No worries. | 03:16 |
| o0Chris0o | and the window sfx | 03:16 |
| o0Chris0o | when you move em | 03:16 |
| mrmonkeyman | this new 8.04 with kde4 is feeling like gnome though so right now I could not tell you the real differences | 03:16 |
| o0Chris0o | so, how do I successfully and completely remove kde4 and downgrade to kde3? | 03:17 |
| Braeloch | I'd like to know, too | 03:18 |
| o0Chris0o | I should of just checked it out on Live CD before installing it lol | 03:18 |

| Braeloch | Thanks RurouniJones. | 03:19 |
| o0Chris0o | ty RurouniJones | 03:19 |
| o0Chris0o | :) | 03:19 |
| RurouniJones | There are a few suggestions in that forum. | 03:19 |
| RurouniJones | sudo aptitude purge kde4 kde4-core seems to be the most straightforward, note I havent tried these | 03:19 |
| RurouniJones | There is also a longer set of instructions that has one person saying it worked for them | 03:20 |
| o0Chris0o | alright, I will give it a try :) | 03:20 |
| will00 | how well does kubuntu cooperate with touchscreens? | 03:21 |
| klobster | hello, any chance on tech support? | 03:21 |
| RurouniJones | klobster: Just ask the question, if anyone can help they will | 03:21 |

| klobster | I have questions about adept. exit error status 139. any help? | 03:22 |
| o0Chris0o | and they are touchscreens | 03:22 |
| will00 | o0Chris0o iv heard about that | 03:23 |
| will00 | im tryin to set up a new register for my boss, and he wants me to build a cheaper version than the prebuilts | 03:23 |
| xieo | ive got this odd problem.. the install cd gives me this "buffer i/o error on device fd0." i know it has to do with the floppy, but later on in the install kubuntu doesn't recognize either of my sata drives | 03:23 |
| xieo | im not sure if the problems are related, but if this problem occurs often, id like to know if theres a work around or something :) | 03:24 |
| RurouniJones | xieo, what motherboard do you have | 03:24 |
| RurouniJones | google for your motherboard make and ubuntu + install | 03:24 |
| xieo | alright, ill give that a go | 03:24 |
| xieo | thanks | 03:25 |
| RurouniJones | Sounds like it probably has one of those cheapo SATA RAID chips which aren great | 03:25 |
| RurouniJones | may be causing an issue | 03:25 |
| xieo | :/ | 03:25 |
| xieo | i was afraid of htat | 03:25 |
| o0Chris0o | will00: yeah I wouldn't of ever known they were linux till I had to turn one on and watch it boot up | 03:26 |

| o0Chris0o | well bbl | 03:35 |

| coreymon77 | hi guys, im back | 03:44 |
| yoyoma | sigh | 03:46 |
| yoyoma | it looks like the 8.04 version of knetworkmanager still doesn't support PPTP VPN connections | 03:46 |
| yoyoma | this was a big in 7.10 that was supposed to be fixed, i believe | 03:46 |
| coreymon77 | knetworkmanager is a piece of arse | 03:47 |
| coreymon77 | really bad program | 03:47 |
| coreymon77 | always has been | 03:47 |
| yoyoma | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/knetworkmanager/+bug/151867 | 03:49 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 151867 in knetworkmanager "vpn pptp on Kubuntu is not available" [Undecided,Fix released] | 03:49 |
| yoyoma | that is just frustrating. pptp (windows vpn server) is probably the most common corporate vpn server type out there... and it's not supported by kubuntu | 03:50 |
| yoyoma | that's the last piece of the puzzle that keeps me on dual boot kubuntu + xp | 03:51 |
| sparr__ | yoyoma: im connected to a pptp vpn right now, using knetworkmanager in kubuntu | 03:53 |
| sparr__ | yoyoma: however, i had to configure it in nm-applet (the gnome network manager) | 03:53 |
| sparr__ | have you tried using nm-applet instead of knetworkmanager? | 03:54 |
| yoyoma | i did on 7.04 | 03:55 |
| sparr__ | it worked for me in 7.04, 7.10, and now in 8.04 | 03:55 |
| yoyoma | sorry, i meant 7.10 | 03:55 |
| yoyoma | gutsy gibbon | 03:55 |
| sparr__ | it takes a lot of trial and error, because different pptp implementations ignore different parts of the spec, or use different names for things | 03:56 |
| sparr__ | and i think i had to add some route entries manually | 03:56 |
| sparr__ | so that local networking still worked alongside the vpn | 03:56 |
| sparr__ | which is a bonus... | 03:56 |
| yoyoma | yeah | 03:56 |
| sparr__ | windows xp can't do that, afaik | 03:56 |
| yoyoma | i'm just surprised something so useful still doesn't work.... | 03:56 |
| sparr__ | every other user of our work vpn has no internet access when using the vpn | 03:56 |
| sparr__ | i do :) | 03:56 |
| yoyoma | but it's hard to complain when it's free and i'm not a developer | 03:56 |
| yoyoma | there's an option in XP to specify whether to always use the remote gateway or not | 03:57 |
| crash__ | sparr: they missed a checkbox | 03:57 |
| sparr__ | ugh | 03:57 |
| crash__ | happens all the time | 03:57 |
| sparr__ | i thought i was using 8.04 | 03:57 |
| crash__ | internet + vpn is possible on XP | 03:57 |
| sparr__ | apparently my dist-upgrade STILL isnt finished | 03:57 |
| |dthacker| | Hi, I just had to do a hard boot because open office froze up and now I freeze when the display manager starts up. | 03:57 |
| * sparr__ downloads another 175MB of packages, to finish installing 2GB of packages | 03:57 | |
| yoyoma | hehe | 03:58 |
| sparr__ | |dthacker|: ctrl alt f1 | 03:58 |
| |dthacker| | rebooting | 03:58 |
| sparr__ | for the record, do not reboot during a dist-upgrade | 03:58 |
| sparr__ | how can i switch from mythbuntu to kubuntu startup/shutdown screens? | 03:58 |
| RurouniJones | sparr__: They do tell you that in the instructions :) | 03:59 |
| sparr__ | RurouniJones: yes, but one might THINK the dist-upgrade is done when its not | 03:59 |
| yoyoma | bah. well, seeya guys. i've gotta boot to XP to get work done :( | 04:00 |
| sparr__ | when dpkg exits complaining of a single error, it makes me happy. unfortunately i didnt notice 2000 lines earlier in the output that that error blocked over half the dist-upgrade from completing | 04:00 |
| |dthacker| | wow, it's back. | 04:00 |
| sparr__ | i would file a bug report on dpkg, but im lazy, and no one would fix it | 04:00 |

| mrmonkeyman | exactly | 04:58 |
| Odd-rationale | mrmonkeyman: should be the same. might want to unmount the other if you want to use the same mount point. or create a new one | 04:58 |
| FaceOfBoe | should I go with advanced or simple? | 04:58 |
| Odd-rationale | FaceOfBoe: custom | 04:59 |

| maduser | ah they need to update the bot | 05:22 |
| Odd-rationale | ubot5 is out of date.... | 05:22 |
| zPliskin | quick question, i use winamp on windows. whats the equivalent on linux ? amarok ? | 05:22 |
| ubot5 | Odd-rationale: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:22 |
| o0Chris0o | update the bot! | 05:22 |
| o0Chris0o | :-p | 05:22 |
| dthacker | Makuseru: why don't you ask #amarok? | 05:22 |
| Odd-rationale | lol | 05:22 |
| ubunturos | heh | 05:22 |
| dwidmann | Odd-rationale: doesn't that install an older version of libdvdcss2 though? (ie: 1.2.5 instead of 1.2.9) | 05:22 |
| Makuseru | dthacker: because everyone is dead in there | 05:23 |
| dwidmann | Makuseru: I take no responsibility for their deaths | 05:23 |
| Makuseru | ha | 05:23 |
| Odd-rationale | dwidmann: dunno. I think that is the reccomended method. the wiki team was discussing whether or not they should advise adding 3rd party repos... | 05:23 |
| dthacker | Makuseru: they're not dead, they're just hibernating | 05:24 |
| zPliskin | winter was heavy | 05:24 |
| Makuseru | hibernating for life | 05:24 |
| dwidmann | Odd-rationale: well, last time I checked, that was the case | 05:24 |
| zPliskin | ya back at 150KBS ! | 05:24 |
| dthacker | zPliskin: I like amarok for playing music, there are other players available too | 05:24 |
| Makuseru | does anyone know how to edit .m4a metadata? | 05:25 |
| Odd-rationale | dwidmann: which was? adding medibuntu? | 05:25 |
| o0Chris0o | Odd-rationale: oh yeah, the desktop effects are already installed | 05:25 |
| o0Chris0o | I mean compiz engine | 05:25 |
| dwidmann | Odd-rationale: no, the script from libdvdread installing an older version ... of course, I haven't tried it in a while | 05:25 |
| Odd-rationale | o0Chris0o: ok. now install compizconfig-settings-manager | 05:25 |
| o0Chris0o | k | 05:26 |
| flank | I love my kubuntu 8.04 but it freezes alot | 05:26 |

| TeslaTony | I've been getting randomly logged out of my system. Anyone know what might be going on? | 05:27 |
| Deepthought | I installed kde4 on my ubuntu/kubuntu rig (hardy), and now the whole graphic login is gone, there's p[roblems with x-auth and so changing sessions is impossible, only a mamaed gnome. Worse, becuese of the x-auth I can' t start synaptic to fix broken packages or reinstall kde-desktop gnome-desktop. anyone had that problem ? KDE4 messing up the whole sys ? | 05:27 |
| keeper | Hi, I'm having some problems getting my keyboard to work, I can use it at the login screen, but as soon as I log in it stops responding | 05:28 |
| dwidmann | Odd-rationale: also, with any arch other than i386 you have to have all the tools installed for building packages - and it isn't even kind enough to install them for you | 05:28 |
| keeper | Also the on screen keyboard doesn't work | 05:28 |
| flank | everyone has problems | 05:28 |
| dwidmann | Odd-rationale: given that tidbit, I certainly can't recommend the script | 05:28 |
| o0Chris0o | Odd-rationale: installed | 05:29 |
| dwidmann | Odd-rationale: and here's where it has the version set for the script --- uversion=1.2.5 --- so it looks like I was right | 05:29 |
| o0Chris0o | wb Odd-rationale | 05:30 |
| Odd-rationale | sorry i got disconneted... | 05:30 |
| Odd-rationale | thanks! | 05:30 |
| o0Chris0o | :) | 05:30 |
| Odd-rationale | FaceOfBoe: does dvd plays for you? | 05:30 |
| dwidmann | Odd-rationale: did you get any of what I said in the last three minutes or so? | 05:31 |
| o0Chris0o | I got compizconfig-settings-manager installed | 05:31 |
| Odd-rationale | dwidmann: what was it? | 05:31 |
| Odd-rationale | o0Chris0o: ok then scroll up and read what i wrote to FaceOfBoe ;) | 05:32 |
| o0Chris0o | :) | 05:32 |
| dwidmann | dd-rationale: also, with any arch other than i386 you have to have all the tools installed for building packages - and it isn't even kind enough to install them for you ------- Odd-rationale: given that tidbit, I certainly can't recommend the script ------ Odd-rationale: and here's where it has the version set for the script --- uversion=1.2.5 --- so it looks like I was right | 05:32 |
| keeper | Could it be that my keyboard has something strange in xorg.conf ? | 05:33 |
| Odd-rationale | dwidmann: the scripts just downloads a .deb and installs it. correct? | 05:33 |
| dwidmann | Odd-rationale: only for i386, otherwise it has to download the source and build it | 05:33 |
| Odd-rationale | sorry, I thought you meant arch as in arch linux... | 05:34 |
| cube_ | hey very new to kde what do i use as a synaptic equivelant? | 05:34 |
| dwidmann | Odd-rationale: just look at the script, it's pretty short and self explanitory | 05:34 |
| dwidmann | cube_: adept | 05:34 |
| keeper | I'm really not sure how it could be working at login screen, but not after logging in ( even numlock won't change its status) | 05:34 |
| Odd-rationale | dwidmann: i see. does medibuntu have other architectures then? | 05:35 |
| K4k-laptop | ok, so I just updated my kubuntu 8.04 install to kde4, but I seem to have lost my little widget to control my volume...how do I get it back? | 05:35 |
| dwidmann | Odd-rationale: yes, and it's also a more recent version of it | 05:35 |
| dwidmann | Odd-rationale: I think medibuntu does i386, amd64, and ppc | 05:36 |
| Odd-rationale | dwidmann: ok. then. seems like some should update the script to have it download from mdeibuntu and for your architecure. | 05:37 |
| dwidmann | Odd-rationale: I agree | 05:37 |
| keeper | I might try startx from recovery mode, any other ideas ? | 05:37 |
| Odd-rationale | dwidmann: if using i368 it seems ok. otherwise, i don't really like what it does.... | 05:38 |
| dwidmann | Odd-rationale: I could do it easily enough, dunno how to get the changes in though | 05:38 |
| Odd-rationale | dwidmann: file a bug. | 05:38 |
| dwidmann | Odd-rationale: I suppose so, I'll just attach the modified script to the bug report and see how things go | 05:38 |
| K4k-laptop | anyone know what the volume applet for kde4 is? or if there is a way to use the one from kde3.5 on 4? | 05:40 |
| Odd-rationale | K4k-laptop: kmix? | 05:40 |
| K4k-laptop | yea, thats it, thank you | 05:40 |
| K4k-laptop | I couldn't remember what it was called | 05:40 |
| K4k-laptop | where do I put that to make it autostart when I login? | 05:41 |
| K4k-laptop | is there a special kde startup file? | 05:41 |
| Odd-rationale | !autostart | K4k-laptop | 05:41 |
| ubot5 | K4k-laptop: 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. | 05:41 |
| cube_ | what do i type in terminal to list all my hardware like cpu,memory,hd | 05:42 |
| FaceOfBoe | <--Still fighting to get a DVD to play | 05:42 |
| K4k-laptop | cube_, it's lspci for anything but mem and proc I think | 05:42 |
| K4k-laptop | for mem it's "free" | 05:42 |
| Odd-rationale | FaceOfBoe: what happned? | 05:42 |
| K4k-laptop | for disk space it's "df -h" | 05:42 |
| FaceOfBoe | Odd-rationale: I got this "Install debhelper and fakeroot, then run this script again" | 05:42 |
| K4k-laptop | and proc, you have to cat the /proc file, but I don't remember where it is | 05:42 |
| Odd-rationale | FaceOfBoe: ok. forget that | 05:43 |
| Odd-rationale | FaceOfBoe: add the medibuntu repo and install libdvdcss2 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 05:43 |
| FaceOfBoe | I wish I could remember how I did it last time *argh* | 05:43 |

| cube_ | is there a way for me to make crash handler not report that crash | 06:47 |
| cube_ | cause it stays working but keeps reporting it | 06:47 |
| caveman26 | whats a good benchmarking program to use for figuring out the megaflops of a processor in linux? | 06:49 |
| cube_ | how would i add things to kooldock? | 06:49 |
| cube_ | ok sorry nevermind | 06:49 |
| cube_ | how would i make crash handler stop reporting the bug? | 06:51 |
| Agent_bob | hung program "[dvd-slideshow] waiting for mpeg2enc to finish..." but mpeg2enc is not using any cpu time, so it's not doing anything. thoughts ? | 07:06 |

| Agent_bob | 23335 pts/0 Sl+ 31:21 mpeg2enc -v 0 -q 4 -4 2 -2 1 -a 2 -M 3 -f 8 -o /usr/slideshow <<< is that syntax even correct ? | 07:08 |
| theveryend | ANYONE? | 07:09 |
| cube_ | i am on kubuntu amd64 8.04 and kooldock keeps sending signal 11 sigsevg as a crash is there anything i can do? | 07:09 |
| Jucato | !caps | theveryend | 07:09 |
| ubot5 | theveryend: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 07:09 |
| Agent_bob | theveryend what happened? did we join an empty channel ? | 07:09 |
| Jucato | !anyone | theveryend | 07:10 |
| ubot5 | theveryend: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 07:10 |
| theveryend | sorry | 07:10 |
| theveryend | this is my first time here | 07:10 |
| cube_ | mine 2 | 07:10 |
| theveryend | ima a bit confused | 07:11 |
| cube_ | is there anyway i can stop crash handler from report the crash as kooldock stays open and working | 07:11 |
| theveryend | oh yeah. i got that one too | 07:12 |
| theveryend | it always happens | 07:12 |
| cube_ | u know how to fix it? | 07:12 |
| theveryend | no i dont know | 07:13 |
| theveryend | anyone know? | 07:13 |
| Agent_bob | na'me | 07:13 |
| Odd-rationale | cube_: try killing kooldock and try alt+f2 and type "kooldock --nocrashhandler" | 07:14 |
| cube_ | u know how i can setup that way for boot? | 07:14 |
| Odd-rationale | cube_: do you have it set for kde to automatically save session? | 07:15 |
| cube_ | i don't think i do | 07:15 |
| theveryend | its complicated | 07:15 |
| cube_ | lol it worked but then now it doesn't stay open when it crashes | 07:15 |
| theveryend | lol | 07:16 |
| Odd-rationale | cube_: go to system settings --> advance --> session manager. and select on login --> restore previous session | 07:16 |
| Odd-rationale | cube_: you cant have you cake and eat it too ;) | 07:16 |
| Jucato | !autostart | 07:16 |
| ubot5 | 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. | 07:16 |
| Jucato | oh, that factoid isn't updated... http://jucato.org/kde/kde-autostart.html | 07:17 |

| Agent_bob | i know i can kill mpeg2enc but the program will error out. is there a better way to build a slideshow-dvd ? | 07:34 |

| Agent_bob | i wouldn't wait more than two or three hours for that thing to do something..... | 07:37 |
| nicolas | hie everyone | 07:39 |
| Agent_bob | hmmm could not start GNOME Web Browser \n\n Startup failed because of the following error: \n unable to determine the address of the message bus. | 07:39 |
| theveryend | argh | 07:39 |
| nicolas | i'm having trouble with lirc in hardy, am i alone? | 07:40 |
| theveryend | its driving me crazy | 07:40 |
| Agent_bob | i think i have determined that i like posting error messages, better than trying to solve other peoples issues. or maybe not. | 07:41 |
| theveryend | ouch | 07:43 |
| Lynoure | Agent_bob: :) | 07:43 |
| nicolas | lirc daemon won't load, only the userspace works :s | 07:44 |
| Agent_bob | Lynoure here's another one. :) i just clicked the switch window managers. (from blackbox to metacity) heh all it acomplished is, now i have no menus bars buttons * ! | 07:45 |
| Lynoure | Agent_bob: Gnome web browser == epiphany? | 07:46 |
| Agent_bob | yeah i think. | 07:46 |
| Lynoure | Agent_bob: but you are in kde, still? (just trying to figure out the situation) | 07:46 |
| Agent_bob | oh but i just found that i can now alt+tab and get a task manager/switcher | 07:46 |
| Agent_bob | Lynoure i haven't been in kde per'se in years. | 07:47 |
| Agent_bob | nor gnome... | 07:47 |
| Lynoure | Agent_bob: ok, then I don't even try to help you. | 07:47 |
| Agent_bob | :) | 07:47 |
| Lynoure | Agent_bob: too much work trying to guess what you have and what you don't :) | 07:47 |
| Agent_bob | yeah. i fully understand that. i have all the gnome and kde installed but almost nothing running. | 07:48 |
| Agent_bob | Lynoure but: if you could spare a moment. | 07:48 |
| Agent_bob | have you ever built any dvd slideshows ? | 07:49 |
| Lynoure | Agent_bob: Actually, I don't even know what they would be as dvd tends to be moving video and slides unmoving | 07:50 |
| Agent_bob | hung program "[dvd-slideshow] waiting for mpeg2enc to finish..." but mpeg2enc is not using any cpu time, so it's not doing anything. thoughts ? | 07:50 |
| === tommy is now known as tomitzel | ||
| Agent_bob | sorry. i mean mpeg2enc seems to be all that is blocking my progress at this time. | 07:51 |
| Lynoure | Agent_bob: How did you determine it is not doing anything? strace? | 07:51 |
| * Lynoure loves strace | 07:51 | |
| Agent_bob | top | 07:51 |
| Agent_bob | it doesn't even show up on "top" and sp says it's been sleeping for 30 minutes | 07:52 |
| Agent_bob | s/sp/ps/ | 07:52 |
| Lynoure | Agent_bob: try strace -f -p pid-of-your process for fun anyway | 07:52 |
| Lynoure | Agent_bob: it's probably waiting for something that is not there | 07:53 |
| Agent_bob | strace -f -p `pidof mpeg2enc` ? | 07:53 |
| Lynoure | yes | 07:53 |
| Agent_bob | Process 23363 attached with 5 threads - interrupt to quit | 07:53 |
| Agent_bob | <unfinished ...> | 07:53 |
| Agent_bob | <unfinished ...> | 07:53 |
| Lynoure | Agent_bob: hmm, not very informative. | 07:54 |
| Agent_bob | that's all it said. | 07:54 |
| * Agent_bob shrugs | 07:54 | |
| Lynoure | If that always happens, I'd restart and strace it into a file from earlier on | 07:55 |
| Lynoure | or go digging in /proc (but that's much less fun) | 07:55 |
| * Agent_bob wishes there was a slightly more polished app even a cli app. | 07:56 | |
| Agent_bob | for building dvd's | 07:56 |
| Agent_bob | if i do that i need to test run it on a small file. not this 2 hour project. | 07:57 |
| === soniczny is now known as CoCaInE | ||
| Lynoure | Agent_bob: pity if you'll lose 2h of work :/ | 07:58 |
| Agent_bob | i guess i just as well kill the thing. loose all that data... | 07:58 |
| Agent_bob | yeah | 07:58 |
| Agent_bob | well easy go. | 07:59 |
| Agent_bob | reguardless how it came. | 07:59 |
| Lynoure | Agent_bob: Manslide might be a "slightly more polished app", never tried it | 07:59 |
| Agent_bob | now that i have metacity running i think i'll start kicker so i'll have a menu. | 08:00 |
| Agent_bob | i'll look at it. | 08:00 |
| Agent_bob | hmmm maybe if i just nuke xorg it will leave the "completely finished" but not released dvd (the progress is at 100% and the only message is the "waiting for mpeg2enc to finish") and when i start the app it will see it's temp file and finish it ??? | 08:04 |
| Agent_bob | oh well, wish me good noogies! | 08:05 |

| cicero123 | hello.iam trying to use the kde4 ubgrade disk. the insturtions read to run "kdesu "/cdrom/cdromupgrade" in the command line, but i get the error, "command not found. | 08:10 |
| Lynoure | cicero123: is your cd mounted? | 08:12 |
| cicero123 | Lynoure: yes. | 08:13 |
| vlt | Hello. Which of the install CDs/DVDs allows shrinking an existing NTFS partition before installing Kubuntu? | 08:14 |
| cicero123 | Lynoure: it is mounted as /media/cdrom0 | 08:15 |
| Lynoure | cicero123: try kdesu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" | 08:15 |
| cicero123 | Lynoure: k | 08:16 |
| Lynoure | cicero123: well, that explain it :) /media/cdrom0 instead of plain /cdrom for you then | 08:16 |
| cicero123 | Lynoure: sorry. i know enough to be dangerous but not enough to make money. :( | 08:17 |
| monkeybritches | vlt: There's an option to resize partitions during installation | 08:17 |
| monkeybritches | Choose 'manual' and resize at will | 08:17 |
| vlt | monkeybritches: On desktop AND alternate CD? I remember it coming only with one of the install CDs in earlier versions ... | 08:18 |
| cicero123 | Lynoure: i am still getting command not found. | 08:19 |
| monkeybritches | I don't know about alternate, but I have the other one and it's on it. | 08:19 |
| Lynoure | cicero123: what does ls -la /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade show? (I haven't upgraded that way ever myself, I always switch in the late alpha stage :) ) | 08:20 |
| Lynoure | (or then upgrade over network later on) | 08:20 |
| Lynoure | cicero123: is is the alternate cd you are using? | 08:21 |
| MasterStone | hi everyone | 08:21 |
| cicero123 | Lynoure: no such file or directory. :( but in properties is gives the mount as /media/cdrom0 | 08:22 |
| MasterStone | i have a problem with my graphic installation after an upgrade to hardy | 08:22 |
| cicero123 | i dont know. there are two exec files in it. a umenu.exe, and a wubi.exe | 08:22 |
| Lynoure | cicero123: does not sound like the right cd, but I'm yet to check | 08:23 |
| stdin | that would be the desktop cd | 08:24 |
| stdin | (there are no .exe's on the alternate cd) | 08:24 |
| Agent_bob | no such noogie ! oh swell | 08:24 |
| cicero123 | Lynoure: if it is the wrong cd it would explain a lot. :/ | 08:25 |
| Lynoure | cicero123: checked, it's the wrong cd | 08:25 |
| Agent_bob | vidio dvd's are just data dvd's with some specially named/formated files on them aren't they? | 08:25 |
| cicero123 | Lynoure: which one do i need? | 08:25 |
| cicero123 | kde on 386. | 08:25 |
| Lynoure | cicero123: the one called Alternate | 08:25 |
| Agent_bob | .vob's and such | 08:25 |
| cicero123 | Lynoure: k. thank you. i will dl it now. | 08:26 |
| Lynoure | cicero123: good luck. | 08:26 |
| cicero123 | Lynoure: thanx. :) | 08:27 |

| walter_eco | hi - - I'm having a screen size problem | 08:28 |
| Agent_bob | me too. mines too small | 08:28 |
| walter_eco | can't seem to go above 600 x 800 | 08:28 |
| ubuntu_ | let me take a stab and say you have nvidia drivers | 08:28 |
| walter_eco | also is there a way to see what version of kubuntu I'm running | 08:29 |
| ubuntu_ | lsb_release -a | 08:29 |
| Agent_bob | lsb_release -r | 08:29 |
| stdin | Agent_bob: yeah, .VOBs are mpeg 2 sequences, but it's the .IFO and .BUP files that tell the DVD player the information about it, like titles, chapters, audio channels etc | 08:29 |
| walter_eco | matrox | 08:30 |
| ubuntu_ | let me take a stab and say you have nvidia drivers? | 08:30 |
| walter_eco | could be | 08:30 |
| Agent_bob | stdin umm yes. that's what i'm saying, it's other wise just a data dvd, correct ? | 08:30 |
| walter_eco | is there a way to see what drivers I have | 08:30 |
| walter_eco | (please) | 08:30 |
| ubuntu_ | what i mean is what card do you have | 08:31 |
| stdin | Agent_bob: yep, it's just files on a disk | 08:31 |
| Agent_bob | stdin not at all like the old audio cd format | 08:31 |
| Agent_bob | right... k | 08:31 |
| walter_eco | I have a matrox g450/500 video card | 08:31 |
| walter_eco | it says | 08:31 |
| stdin | Agent_bob: yeah, single session, not like VCDS/AudioCDs | 08:31 |
| walter_eco | which I believe | 08:31 |
| o0Chris0o | I have a question for kde3 desktop effects....whats the effect that when you hoover over a window the title bar shows up then when you move your mouse to another window..it disappears? trying to get rid of that, I don't care for it :( | 08:32 |
| * Agent_bob went to test | 08:32 | |
| walter_eco | it was working just fine at 1000x1200 then I switched to 600x800 now it wont let me switchback | 08:32 |
| MasterStone | hi everyone. i have a problem with my screen resolution too. | 08:33 |
| MasterStone | after the boot, the kde-login screen displays huge fonts and only a tiny part of the whole screen | 08:33 |
| ubuntu_ | kdesu displayconfig and under hardware choose the right drivers and more importantly choose corect device and the aproppriate resolution, it will write new values in xorg and restart x | 08:33 |
| MasterStone | the problem is that i cannot use any programs under kde because i cannot read a single thing | 08:34 |
| ubuntu_ | at the login screen, the xorg will choose the highest resolution and use and then change to what you selected for kde, | 08:36 |
| walter_eco | its set to the right card supposedly | 08:36 |
| ubuntu_ | compared to ubuntu channel this place is calm, am testing out kubuntu | 08:36 |
| walter_eco | it was working until i changed the setting | 08:36 |
| ubuntu_ | chances are it will be, but is the monitor section correct walter_eco | 08:37 |
| noaXess | what to use on kubuntu to creating cd labesl.. also round cd labes to put on the cd itself? | 08:37 |
| MasterStone | after i have logged in, i cannot read a single thing, the mousepointer is about 3 cm large. the font is huge and only parts of the screen are visible at all | 08:38 |
| MasterStone | i have tried to change the xorg-parameters already with dpkg-reconfigure xorg-sxerver but that stops after setting keyboard and mouse setup | 08:39 |
| MasterStone | how can i say kde (or the sxerver) to start in a different screen resolution? | 08:40 |
| o0Chris0o | MasterStone: was there a pop-up for hardware drivers manager to enable the video card? | 08:40 |
| MasterStone | o0Chris0o: during dpkg-reconfigure? no | 08:40 |
| o0Chris0o | oic, I dunno. Thats what I did when I first installed kubuntu 8.04 | 08:42 |
| o0Chris0o | I thought maybe it was similar to your problem | 08:42 |
| MasterStone | well, i did not install it from scratch but upgraded from 7.10 | 08:42 |
| o0Chris0o | I see | 08:43 |
| o0Chris0o | is there like a computer chip icon by your clock on the right that you can see? | 08:43 |
| jaffarkelshac | did you fix the resolution problem (i switched to ubuntu) | 08:44 |
| MasterStone | the screenresolution is so bad that i can see the clock only partly, i can see the icon for the enter-button and the little menu-like icon a little underneath | 08:45 |
| o0Chris0o | hmm | 08:46 |
| jaffarkelshac | MasterStone, what card do you have | 08:46 |
| MasterStone | jaffarkelshac: it is a ati x300 i believe | 08:47 |
| jaffarkelshac | i have nvidia, and can only really help with that, but you need to edit your xorg.conf | 08:47 |
| MasterStone | i have tried to change that but with dpkg-reconfigure it doesnt work because i only get to change the keyboard and mouse settings | 08:48 |
| MasterStone | and with manually editing xorg.conf i can change the resolution but then my monitor says it cannot display the frequenzy although it should be with the given range | 08:49 |
| jaffarkelshac | did you try envy-ng | 08:50 |
| jaffarkelshac | i have been searching online for x300 xorg | 08:50 |

| jaffarkelshac | when you have minized it? | 08:53 |
| jaffarkelshac | is the when the window is minimized? o0Chris0o | 08:54 |
| o0Chris0o | no when it is maximized | 08:54 |
| o0Chris0o | whethe title bar is there when it is active | 08:54 |
| o0Chris0o | when I move the mouse away from it...itit goes away | 08:54 |
| jaffarkelshac | i thought it was preview. but then i dont use kde | 08:54 |
| o0Chris0o | only happends when I enable the effects, but trying to figure out which effect it is exactly to disable it lol | 08:55 |

| o0Chris0o | thats not under ccsm | 08:57 |

| Jucato | anyway, just because the channel has been quiet when you were around doesn't mean that there are not many people using Kubuntu nor does it mean that it is always quiet | 09:06 |
| Jucato | Tom_Smith_orygin: none. DVD only has KDE 3 by default, but KDE 4 packages installable I think | 09:07 |
| * Jucato double checks | 09:07 | |
| Tom_Smith_orygin | ok, is KDE4 friendly install from package (some like 'apt-get install kde4') ? | 09:08 |
| Jucato | Tom_Smith_orygin: yeah. sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 09:09 |
| Jucato | #kubuntu-kde4 for more information | 09:09 |
| Tom_Smith_orygin | thanks man | 09:09 |

| Jucato | at this time of day, sometimes | 09:27 |
| Jucato | day or night | 09:27 |
| SlimeyPete | it can get quite busy | 09:28 |
| SlimeyPete | but never so much as #ubuntu | 09:29 |
| Jucato | (thank goodness!) | 09:29 |
| ken_fallon | So was is bussier after the release ? | 09:29 |
| Jucato | definitely | 09:30 |
| Agent_bob | only when i'm not here. | 09:33 |

| kwiji | hi! | 09:41 |
| kwiji | I just tried to install kubuntu 8.04, but it doesnt show me a correct partition table | 09:42 |
| kwiji | theres only one hd shown, although i have 2 partitions, 2 ntfs and some free space for kubuntu | 09:42 |
| ken_fallon | Have you two hard disks then ? | 09:43 |
| kwiji | no, 1 sata | 09:43 |
| Agent_bob | then why shouldn't it "only one hd shown" ? | 09:43 |
| ken_fallon | Do you see the 2 partitions ? | 09:44 |
| Agent_bob | if you only have one hd then one hd is how many it should show | 09:44 |
| kwiji | ähm, i mean it doesnt show the 2 partitions | 09:44 |
| ken_fallon | ok what does it show ? | 09:44 |
| kwiji | the only possibility i have is to create a new partition table and delete everything | 09:45 |
| kwiji | it only shows my hd and no partitions, although i have 2 ntfs partitions | 09:45 |
| ken_fallon | Do the sizes match the hard disk ? | 09:45 |
| kwiji | hm, as far as i remember it just didn't show the size | 09:46 |

| jo4___ | rohan, ok, ty | 10:25 |

| Agent_bob | tuanpham reinstalling the same bugged version is not likely to help. file a bug report. go to the web page packages.ubuntu.com and find a version that works. download it and install it. | 10:27 |
| Jucato | gdm and xfwm are 2 different things :) | 10:27 |
| Agent_bob | jo4 left. but xubuntu defaults to xdm + xfwm iirc | 10:28 |
| Jucato | I though gdm + xfwm... oh well | 10:29 |
| Agent_bob | it may be. i know i had xdm for a while and i thought it was installed by the xubuntu-desktop package... | 10:30 |
| Jucato | let's see :) | 10:30 |
| Agent_bob | but thinking something doesn't force it to be so. | 10:30 |

| krypto__ | so i.e. when I start adept which runs with root rights has the same fonts as in my user account? | 10:41 |

| === ubuntu is now known as taghastien41 | ||
| taghastien41 | HDD locked in the bios is there any solution | 10:42 |

| snikker | Jucato: for example if i run synaptic (or another gtk app) with sudo or kdesu i don't have kde style. it work as normal user | 10:42 |
| Agent_bob | krypto__ you could do kdesudo kcontrol and set the fonts as root | 10:43 |

| kaminix | Is Adobe's flash player made for GTK? Is that why it keeps crashing in Konqueror but works in Firefox? | 12:39 |
| === __Czessi is now known as Czessi | ||
| moope1 | compiz or beryl? | 12:40 |
| emilsedgh | kaminix: Flash Player 9 uses something that just exists in Firefox iirc | 12:41 |
| kaminix | emilsedgh: Any words about if that's going to be fixed in future versions? | 12:43 |
| emilsedgh | kaminix: i dont know. | 12:43 |
| kaminix | Hmm... but it does work in Konqueror... only it's quite unstable. | 12:43 |

| flaccid_ | yeah | 12:51 |
| dustrial | lovre: yeah on my laptop from beta till now | 12:51 |
| lovre | dustrial: does it have many bugs? I will install 8.04 but dont know between kde3 and kde4 | 12:52 |

| Dr_willis | kde4 is not all that useable. Too many missing features | 12:54 |
| SlimeyPete | ScorpKing: I've not noticed any | 12:55 |

| krypto__ | is there a way to import a pcf file in network-manager to config a vpn connection? | 12:58 |
| krypto__ | it works when I connect with kvpnc but with network manager it doenst work | 12:59 |
| flaccid_ | krypto__, i believe thats what kvpnc is for, not network manager | 13:00 |
| flaccid_ | i could be wrong but. maybe network manager will get vpn support soon | 13:00 |
| tamme | how can I easily upload files over the internet to my PC? | 13:00 |
| krypto__ | network manager can handle vpn connections as well when you install the network-manager-vpnc package | 13:01 |
| flaccid_ | krypto__, google it. it looks like it might | 13:01 |
| flaccid_ | well there you go | 13:01 |
| krypto__ | yeah but it doesnt work | 13:01 |
| flaccid_ | !doesntwork | 13:01 |
| ubot5 | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 13:01 |
| Dr_willis | tamme, dozens of ways.. ssh/scp is one fairly easy/secure way | 13:01 |
| cpk1 | or wget, you didnt say where you were uploading from tamme | 13:01 |
| flaccid_ | krypto__, what type of vpn | 13:02 |
| krypto__ | the error message of network manager is not really helpful: "could no start vpn connection" | 13:02 |
| tamme | my friend is on a windows computer... and I only want some files | 13:02 |
| === soniczny is now known as CoCaInE | ||
| krypto__ | flaccid: cisco vpn with vpnc | 13:03 |
| tamme | and he is not so god on PC things | 13:03 |
| krypto__ | i think I made exactly the same config options on both tools, kvpnc and network manager... kvpnc works, network-manager doesnt | 13:04 |
| tamme | I tried it with vsftp but every time I want to upload something FireFTP says 553 Could not create file. : /a short story.odt | 13:04 |
| boaz_ | Why does msiexec /i thebat_pro_4_0_24.msi fail to install The Bat! email client under Wine? | 13:05 |
| Dr_willis | tamme, this is over the internet? or a lan? | 13:05 |
| tamme | internet | 13:06 |
| Dr_willis | tamme, depending on the size of the files. It may be just easier to use one of those file-share/rapidshare sites. | 13:06 |
| cpk1 | or even email | 13:06 |
| flaccid_ | krypto__, ok then sorry mate. did you check logs? | 13:06 |
| cpk1 | or ssh but I dont know what steps you need to do to get it to work with windows | 13:07 |
| Dr_willis | and it mayt be a hassle to mess with any router/firewall/port forwarding stuff | 13:08 |
| krypto__ | nothing helpful in the log files, alot of "waiting and scheduled" till I get a could not connect | 13:11 |
| Dr_willis | ssh + winscp is handy. | 13:12 |
| moope1 | Best way of getting flash working on hardy is? | 13:14 |

| Fa | search flash | 13:22 |
| moope1 | cpk1: ta | 13:23 |
| Dr_willis | You might want to install 'kubuntu-restricted-extras' also - it grabs a lot of other things you proberly will want as well | 13:23 |
| moope1 | mp3 support and the suchlike? | 13:24 |

| crazy_bus | flaccid_: is there anything to do after installing jackd? | 13:46 |
| flaccid_ | crazy_bus, comes down to the program. but usually not | 13:48 |
| crazy_bus | flaccid Any idea on qsynth. It's still not recognising jack | 13:49 |
| flaccid_ | is jack running? | 13:50 |

| crazy_bus | flaccid_: qjackctl got it working | 13:58 |
| JuJuBee | I like the hints / auto complete that dreamweaver gives... | 13:58 |
| flaccid_ | fair enough | 13:58 |
| JuJuBee | Wish they would release for linux... | 13:58 |
| flaccid_ | only problem is DW is not really web standards. best to learn html/css properly | 13:58 |
| JuJuBee | I agree, but still nice to have the hints. Saves typing and also lets me know *what* is available. | 13:59 |
| JuJuBee | I'm just learning css | 14:00 |
| JuJuBee | So,, why is DW not web standars? | 14:00 |
| JuJuBee | I thought it was | 14:00 |
| flaccid_ | JuJuBee, better to use a real IDE then like Eclipse | 14:02 |
| JuJuBee | Hmm, will check it out. | 14:02 |
| JuJuBee | Linux? | 14:02 |
| flaccid_ | its not valid, to get it right with webstandards you need to tweak. they are improving it but as there is a DW task force with webstandards.org | 14:02 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | JuJuBee: That's because DW's generated code doesn't always validate to W3C standards | 14:02 |
| flaccid_ | yes linux and windows and whatever else | 14:02 |
| JuJuBee | Ah, java based... | 14:03 |
| JuJuBee | Cool. | 14:03 |
| JuJuBee | Installing now. | 14:03 |

| Pensacola | is there a way to do actions when the mouse touches a screen corner in kde4? | 14:12 |
| flaccid_ | i've tried all those and they seemed alright, but yeah i have no idea what is good i think it comes down to the user and their needs. i only need kate. | 14:12 |
| JuJuBee | I use kate 99.9% of the time, but I would like to learn CSS and think an editor is helpful | 14:14 |
| Jucato | then you'd be happy to know that Quanta uses katepart as its text editor component | 14:15 |
| Jucato | so you get the features of Kate with the features of a Web IDE... | 14:15 |
| flaccid_ | yeah i noticed that,then i noticed that i don't need it :) | 14:16 |

| crazy_bus | is rosegarden the best program to try with qsynth. Or is there a lighter program I could use? | 14:21 |
| === you_idiot is now known as matt__ | ||
| nosrednaekim | crazy_bus: you might get a better answer in #ubuntu-studio | 14:21 |
| === matt__ is now known as Baulders | ||
| crazy_bus | nosrednaekim: I did a few minutes ago, but have got no answer yet | 14:21 |
| Baulders | knetworkworkmanager still not support WPA and static IP's ? | 14:22 |
| flaccid_ | crazy_bus, probably. qsynth is midi vst instrument? perhaps lmms .. ? | 14:24 |
| flaccid_ | Baulders, it does support it yes | 14:24 |
| flaccid_ | as long as the hardware on each end does | 14:25 |
| Baulders | wheres the file that holds what wifi device you've plugged in (eth1,2,3 etc...) I want to delete them and start again | 14:25 |
| CYREX | hello all | 14:25 |
| flaccid_ | Baulders, delete all entries in /etc/network/interfaces besides localhost and then sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart and then restart knetworkmanager | 14:25 |
| moope1 | I had all my virtual machines on a disk which was under LVM (there was only one disk but just in case you know). I have installed ubuntuy and would like to run it from there but how do I mount the disk? | 14:25 |
| CYREX | if i compile the .25 kernel on kubuntu will the nvidia drivers from the nvidia-new-glx still work afterwards? | 14:25 |
| nosrednaekim | CYREX: no | 14:26 |
| flaccid_ | moope1, you can mount lvm directly iirc | 14:26 |
| nosrednaekim | CYREX: learned a bit too much in that session yesterday... eh? :P | 14:26 |
| moope1 | flaccid_: yea, I have seen someone do lvm foo like this | 14:26 |
| moope1 | but ...........I have no idea where to start! | 14:26 |
| sami | How i can change my linux partition size after install? | 14:26 |
| moope1 | sami: LVM :) | 14:26 |
| nosrednaekim | sami: boot the liveCD again | 14:26 |
| flaccid_ | moope1, mount /dev/sda1 for example | 14:26 |
| flaccid_ | oops | 14:27 |
| flaccid_ | sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 | 14:27 |
| CYREX | hehe | 14:27 |
| CYREX | oki thanks | 14:27 |
| nosrednaekim | CYREX: yeah, you'll have to get the driver from nvidia | 14:28 |
| nosrednaekim | which, after compiling a whole kernel, should be nothing to you :P | 14:28 |
| Baulders | I only see WEP when configuring wifi though , no WPA (I'm running WPA but want static IP) | 14:28 |
| CYREX | only wanted to know if it will work for the .25 version or is it limited only for the .24 | 14:28 |
| moope1 | flaccid_: mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member' | 14:28 |
| flaccid_ | Baulders, configuring the wifi where? | 14:28 |
| flaccid_ | moope1, we may need a package or mount differently one sec | 14:29 |
| flaccid_ | moope1, is that the actual dev for the logical part in sudo fdisk -l ? | 14:29 |
| Baulders | flaccid_: knetworkmanager or through system settings | 14:29 |
| flaccid_ | Baulders, it will definately be in knetworkmanager if the AP supports it | 14:29 |
| moope1 | flaccid yes | 14:30 |
| Baulders | so you saying I put my WPA key into where it says WEP? | 14:30 |
| flaccid_ | moope1, gotta do it like this iirc mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/VolGroup00/LogVol00 | 14:30 |
| flaccid_ | something like | 14:30 |
| flaccid_ | Baulders, no it looks like it thinks there is no wpa on that access point | 14:31 |
| flaccid_ | Baulders, check iwlist eth1 scanning <-- eth1 being the wireless logical device name | 14:31 |
| flaccid_ | moope1, or that might be on fedora. one sec sorry | 14:31 |
| nosrednaekim | Baulders: flaccid_: iwlist eth1 scan ........ not scanning | 14:32 |
| flaccid_ | moope1, google helps: http://www.linux-sxs.org/storage/fedora2ubuntu.html | 14:32 |
| crazy_bus | flaccid_: thanks. Still quite big, but I think I'll try it | 14:32 |
| flaccid_ | nosrednaekim, either is fine | 14:33 |
| nosrednaekim | ah... so it is...my bad | 14:33 |
| Baulders | flaccid_: http://img247.imageshack.us/my.php?image=snapshot1rm9.png thats what I see | 14:34 |
| moope1 | flaccid_ are you moving from fedora 2? | 14:35 |
| flaccid_ | Baulders, you do not configure in system settings which is a static system thing. you configure in knetworkmanager which is user based | 14:35 |
| flaccid_ | moope1, no thats just the example | 14:35 |
| flaccid_ | Baulders, if you configure anything 'concrete' in system settings for the interface, you won't be able to configure it in knetworkmanager | 14:36 |
| nosrednaekim | flaccid_: manual setup is done via systemsettings | 14:36 |
| flaccid_ | nosrednaekim, this is not manual setup, its user wpa | 14:36 |
| flaccid_ | system settings does not support wpa | 14:36 |
| nosrednaekim | yeah.... but for static IP, you need manual setup | 14:36 |
| flaccid_ | um not necessarily. still system settings doesn't support wpa. | 14:37 |
| nosrednaekim | thats true, yes | 14:38 |
| nosrednaekim | Baulders: why do you need static IP? does your router not have dhcp? | 14:38 |
| Baulders | yes, but have many things and need to now the IP's etc | 14:39 |
| nosrednaekim | Baulders: most wireless (and otherwise) routers have Mac address to IP configuration tables | 14:39 |
| nosrednaekim | so that you always get the same IP | 14:39 |
| flaccid_ | yeah static dhcp | 14:39 |
| nosrednaekim | that would be far simpler | 14:40 |
| flaccid_ | but from memory i believe if you put only the static ip in system settings you should still be able to associate with knetworkmanager | 14:40 |
| Baulders | my router is pants and I keep needing to reset it and thus all dhcp addresses change again :( | 14:40 |
| Nakkel | Why do I have to install libarts1-xine-package by hand to get Konqueror to generate thumbnail icons from video files? :( Couldnt it be installed by default? | 14:40 |
| flaccid_ | actually no im wrong there. thats a real caveat i think... | 14:40 |
| nosrednaekim | flaccid_: yes, it is | 14:40 |
| flaccid_ | Baulders, router model? | 14:40 |
| flaccid_ | nosrednaekim, its a real caveat? | 14:40 |
| Baulders | flaccid_: Belkin rubbish | 14:41 |
| flaccid_ | oh | 14:41 |
| flaccid_ | jump over the fence then | 14:41 |
| nosrednaekim | flaccid_: well, if you use system settings to configure it once, you won't be able to configure it with knetworkmanager until you comment out certain lines in /etc/network/interfaces | 14:41 |
| flaccid_ | nosrednaekim, yeah thats the caveat i was talking about. this is where windows wins! | 14:42 |
| === magical is now known as shay_lo_croma | ||
| nosrednaekim | :) | 14:42 |
| flaccid_ | its not good. and also if you want to install system wpa, thats a bit more manual and not really documented | 14:43 |
| flaccid_ | but it is possible in /etc/network/interfaces | 14:43 |
| === shay_lo_croma is now known as magical | ||
| okv | Has anyone else got this bug after upgrading to 8.04: In Adept when you click "manage repositories" it just fetches updates (same as the "fetch updates" button), so there is no way to manage repositories through Adept anymore? | 14:44 |
| flaccid_ | wow that sounds like a big bug.. | 14:44 |
| nosrednaekim | okv: haven't heard of, or seen that, no. | 14:44 |
| okv | I'll check if other items in the Adept menu also just fetch updates | 14:45 |
| okv | Other items in the Adept-menu seem to work as they should, safe-upgrade and full-upgrade, but the first two items in the menu are doing exactly same thing "fetch updates" | 14:45 |
| === magical is now known as shay_lo_croma | ||
| okv | Although the second item says "Manage repositories" and should take me into another window where I can manage repositories | 14:46 |

| flaccid_ | if thats not enough, you may need the headers as well amerigo | 15:14 |
| amerigo | But this is an upgrading ????? | 15:15 |
| amerigo | I thought that I already have kernel installed.... | 15:15 |
| flaccid_ | no this is install the source code that you need for what you are doing | 15:15 |
| flaccid_ | linux-source = kernel source != kernel itself | 15:16 |

| amerigo | only change this string | 15:17 |
| flaccid_ | like i said kernel != kernel sources | 15:17 |

| ubuntu-dron | Hello there. Some help needed. When upgading from 7.10 to 8.04, upgraded NetworkManager does not work. It seems to ignore /etc/network/interfaces, and to blank it once per... 15 minutes or so i guess . Tried clean install, but that wasn't of any effect. The trouble stays the same. Googled a lot, but didn't find anything interesting. Can anyone help me here? | 15:17 |
| nosrednaekim | ubuntu-dron: do you have wireless? | 15:18 |
| ubuntu-dron | nosrednaekim: yes | 15:19 |
| nosrednaekim | ubuntu-dron: ah.. ok... otherwise I was going to say to scrap network manager :) | 15:19 |
| ubuntu-dron | nosrednaekim: but wired net also seems broken :( | 15:19 |
| nosrednaekim | I've never seen that though. could you file a bug please? | 15:19 |
| flaccid_ | did you check logs dron? | 15:19 |
| nosrednaekim | ah.. true... dmesg might be helpful | 15:20 |
| flaccid_ | cat /var/log/messages | 15:20 |
| ubuntu-dron | NOthing helpful | 15:21 |
| flaccid_ | dron does your connection require security like wep or wpa? | 15:21 |
| ubuntu-dron | Yet, will file a bug, and then we'll se the results... Maybe it is the bug of a NM itself? | 15:21 |
| ubuntu-dron | flaccid_ | 15:21 |
| ubuntu-dron | requires wep hex | 15:22 |
| flaccid_ | dron then remove any entries for that device from /etc/network/interfaces and use knetworkmanager | 15:22 |
| flaccid_ | i don't see a bug yet | 15:22 |
| okv | I think the problem was that my upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 was not complete, and lots of the packages were "kept back" by apt-get | 15:23 |
| flaccid_ | okv, yeah | 15:23 |
| === soniczny is now known as CoCaInE | ||

| mefisto__ | Need advice building ati video driver. Before upgrade to hardy I was using a patched ati driver, following instructions at http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout and was working well. Just wondering will this driver work in hardy? Do I have to build the patched driver again, or can I just skip to the install stage? | 15:24 |
| flaccid_ | ubuntu-dron, at that point was anything in your /etc/network/interfaces besides localhost? | 15:24 |
| ubuntu-dron | flaccid_: no | 15:24 |
| flaccid_ | perhaps it is a bug | 15:25 |
| flaccid_ | what does knetworkmanager get up to then? | 15:25 |
| ubuntu-dron | flaccid_: even when tried to define the interfaces there, it was blanked in 15-20 minutes or so | 15:25 |
| flaccid_ | i don't know what blanked means | 15:26 |

| flaccid_ | ah ok | 15:27 |

| ubuntu-dron | steelsnake: NM stopped, then the file edited | 15:28 |
| steelsnake | ah oke. no idea what causes that then, sorry | 15:29 |

| steelsnake | sounds like timezones might be off, icewaterman | 15:33 |
| flaccid_ | icewaterman, if its not different timezone then it could be UTC, turn it off in linux | 15:33 |
| flaccid_ | actually sorry turn off utc in bios for clock | 15:34 |
| steelsnake | ...or that... i'd have suggested to tell windows to use UTC :) | 15:34 |
| flaccid_ | yeah sorry my memory is bad its something like that | 15:34 |

| trappist | and by existing do you mean running? | 16:33 |
| noobuntu | Anyone familiar with installing oracle 11g on kubuntu? | 16:33 |
| wesley | uh no wanna add a patch | 16:33 |
| trappist | wesley: you need the kernel source then, so you can compile it.... | 16:34 |
| trappist | I don't have the link handy, and the bot is MIA, but there's a kernel compile howto on the wiki | 16:35 |
| wesley | i can not add a line ? | 16:35 |
| wesley | where that how to? i have a other but maby the one you name is better | 16:35 |
| trappist | wesley: if you have a patch, you have to patch the kernel *source code*. Then compile the kernel and install. | 16:35 |
| trappist | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 16:36 |
| wesley | thats ( i did on mandriva kernel compiling and after i was trying to mess things up i had cpufreq | 16:36 |
| trappist | wesley: this is not for beginners. if you've never compiled software before, you could have a hard time | 16:36 |
| wesley | trappist i not a beginnere anymore i am learning i piece by piece if it goes wring i start afain | 16:37 |
| trappist | wesley: good deal :) building your own kernel isn't usually recommended with ubuntu, but it's a good learning experience | 16:38 |

| rjune_ | trappist: don't think so | 16:41 |
| rjune_ | nope | 16:42 |
| wesley | trappist its enable cpufreq for celerons | 16:42 |

| trappist | oh there's the bot | 16:53 |
| wesley | stdin he says it does not lower the powe usage ? | 16:54 |
| stdin | wesley: it only throttles it rather than scales it, so it's a heat control measure rather than a power control one | 16:55 |
| stdin | CPU still runs at full power, just runs slower | 16:56 |
| wesley | so it does not save realy much energy more that what he says? | 16:56 |
| stdin | the only way it saves energy is by the fan not turning on as much I guess | 16:56 |
| wesley | i gues it doest hurt to try it but indeed i dont believe it saves much energy | 16:57 |
| wesley | but the intel celeron 540 should have power saving options | 16:58 |
| stdin | celerons are cheep for a reason ;) | 16:58 |

| Devourer | dwidmann, would you recommend I go back to KDE 3.5 if I don't want to deal with strange bugs? | 17:41 |
| genii | wesley: 2.5-4 hours is normal, depending on different factors like screen brightness, external devices being powered by the laptop, etc | 17:41 |
| dwidmann | wesley: might be normal, but it's not great ... I get about 6 or so with my laptop | 17:41 |

| spykedtomato | whoa | 18:09 |
| leshiy | is anybody here? | 18:09 |
| * spykedtomato begins to rethink... | 18:10 | |
| jhutchins_wk | leshiy: 370 lurkers | 18:10 |
| stdin | jhutchins_lt: source? | 18:10 |
| jhutchins_wk | stdin: For what? | 18:10 |
| stdin | for "Generally agreed that it's one of the worst releases ever, upgrade breaks things for many users." | 18:11 |
| dwidmann | jhutchins_wk: 360 idlers, 10 lurkers | 18:11 |
| jhutchins_wk | stdin: Observations here and in other channels. | 18:11 |
| jhutchins_wk | stdin: You been asleep or something? | 18:11 |
| genii | back | 18:11 |
| stdin | most people seem to have a smooth upgrade actually | 18:11 |
| genii | XyQrTw: Apologies for lag, work required me | 18:11 |
| jhutchins_wk | stdin: Perhaps most do, but there are plenty of problems, and I've seen it said that the rc was a lot more stable (probably meaning workable) than the actual release. | 18:12 |
| TuxOtaku | hey guys, I'm looking for a bandwidth monitoring application that has a similar feature set to NetMeter on Windows | 18:12 |
| spykedtomato | what's breaking for the people that are complaining? | 18:12 |
| TuxOtaku | any suggestions? | 18:12 |
| spykedtomato | and is it hardy or remix they're talking about? | 18:12 |
| o0Chris0o | what is the name in adebt for the extra screensavers for kde? | 18:12 |
| jhutchins_wk | spykedtomato: Printing, wireless, desktop issues. | 18:12 |
| stdin | jhutchins_lt: then "many" should be changed to "a few" | 18:13 |
| jhutchins_wk | stdin: Not from what I've seen. | 18:13 |
| stdin | from what I've seen, it is | 18:13 |
| stdin | I've upgraded several boxes on my network, all went well | 18:14 |
| jhutchins_wk | stdin: Don't be silly. Not seeing errors only means you weren't looking in the right place. | 18:14 |
| spykedtomato | is kde4 good enough to use or should i stick with 3? | 18:14 |
| stdin | I've upgraded several friends, all went well | 18:14 |
| _eMaX_ | hi all | 18:14 |
| _eMaX_ | anyone here using eclipse on hardy? | 18:14 |
| dwidmann | spykedtomato: I recommend mixing them together | 18:14 |
| jhutchins_wk | stdin: All three of the *buntu users in our local LUG who've upgraded have had significant problems. | 18:14 |
| spykedtomato | dwidmann: mixing them? how's that? | 18:14 |
| jhutchins_wk | A lot of stuff doesn't run in 4 yet. | 18:15 |
| dwidmann | spykedtomato: have both kde3 and kde4 installed, log into one or the other, and use apps from both | 18:15 |
| dwidmann | spykedtomato: for example I'm using KDE3, but I'm also using konqueror4, Dolphin(not d3lphin), etc | 18:15 |
| x-X-x | whats the difference between cvs and git ? | 18:16 |
| spykedtomato | ok - did you install konqueror4 etc beside or on top of the older versions? | 18:16 |
| spykedtomato | or does that just happen automatically when you install kde4 over a kde3? | 18:16 |
| dwidmann | genii: the printer setup for KDE (ie: kcmshell printers) has been screwed around with for Ubuntu 8.04, and it doesn't seem to work any more .... | 18:17 |

| fable | how can i set the start-up application on kubuntu?! | 19:04 |
| kubuntutero | !autostart | 19:04 |
| ubot5 | 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 | 19:04 |

| kubuntutero | dwidmann: forgot something | 19:05 |
| all | noo how can i do that? | 19:05 |
| kubuntutero | !kubuntu | 19:05 |
| ubot5 | Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 19:05 |
| dwidmann | kubuntutero: you did or I did? | 19:05 |
| kubuntutero | !kde | 19:05 |
| ubot5 | KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. | 19:05 |
| kubuntutero | dwidmann: you did | 19:05 |
| kubuntutero | all ^^^ | 19:05 |
| all | i like the interface of KDE, but i like more of the Ubuntu cuiz look more compatibel with my PC | 19:05 |
| kubuntutero | You have a brown PC? | 19:05 |
| dwidmann | kubuntutero: and what might that be? | 19:06 |
| kubuntutero | dwidmann: > before /dev/null | 19:06 |
| dwidmann | kubuntutero: another one? okay | 19:06 |
| all | so if the kubuntu is = to ubuntu, only change the Gnome to KDE, so the fact that my grafic dont work well here as work in ubuntu its because the KDE?! | 19:07 |
| dwidmann | kubuntutero: /etc/init.d/mount-nfs.sh: 10: Syntax Error: redirection unexpected | 19:07 |

| khaleel5000 | hello, i have kubuntu 8.04 , I cant move my PS2 mouse, how do i configure that? | 19:08 |
| dwidmann | kubuntutero: umount /var/cache/apt/archives 2>&1> /dev/null | 19:08 |
| khaleel5000 | the arrow is just there not moving. (my mouse works fine, tested in pclinuxos 2007 which I dual boot with kubuntu | 19:09 |
| kubuntutero | dwidmann: nope space between the 1 and > | 19:09 |
| inteliwasp | to install from source i need to use "sudo" on ./configure make and make install? | 19:09 |
| kubuntutero | that does something else | 19:09 |
| dwidmann | kubuntutero: curse sh for being so picky | 19:09 |
| SlimeyPete | inteliwasp: you only need sudo for "make install" | 19:09 |
| kubuntutero | inteliwasp: the package should have a README or an INSTALL file. Follow those instructions | 19:09 |
| kubuntutero | dwidmann: Well you are telling it to do that :) | 19:09 |
| all | so if i install ubuntu and then install the KDE under the ubuntu dont will be a probleam? | 19:10 |
| SlimeyPete | all: no problem. Just install "kubuntu-desktop". | 19:10 |
| inteliwasp | would i mess up anything if i did use sudo on all 3? | 19:10 |
| kubuntutero | inteliwasp: permissions maybe but unlikely | 19:10 |
| dwidmann | kubuntutero: problem: script isn't bombing with a syntax error now, but umount is still printing out the blahblahblah is not mounted messages that I want it to ignore in the event it's already unmounted | 19:10 |
| kubuntutero | .. | 19:10 |
| kubuntutero | it's not supposed to print anything after that | 19:11 |
| all | that way i can have the best of the two :D, lets take a try then | 19:11 |

| Ahmuck | for kubuntu | 19:14 |
| SlimeyPete | alsa | 19:14 |
| Ahmuck | so what is pulseaudio on kubuntu | 19:15 |
| SlimeyPete | pulseaudio is used in kde4 but it does not replace alsa | 19:15 |
| SlimeyPete | it runs on top of alsa | 19:15 |
| SlimeyPete | it's like artsd in kde3 | 19:15 |
| kubuntutero | dwidmann: fine try 2> /dev/null | 19:15 |
| SlimeyPete | at least I think it's used in kde4 | 19:16 |
| SlimeyPete | or.... is it phonon | 19:16 |
| cinex | hi | 19:16 |
| kubuntutero | Phonon | 19:16 |
| SlimeyPete | yeah, it's phonon I think | 19:16 |
| SlimeyPete | again, it runs on top of ALSA | 19:16 |
| SlimeyPete | alsa is a lower-level thing | 19:16 |
| * kubuntutero tapes up SlimeyPete's fingers | 19:17 | |

| ALLpt | i went to the synaptic and then select the KDE | 20:22 |
| ALLpt | and now is downlaoding, hope i select the right one | 20:22 |
| cinex | kubuntu-desktop installs everything you need | 20:22 |
| ALLpt | in the instalation say 317 files so i hope that is this one :) | 20:23 |
| TeslaTony | ALLpt: That'll give you the desktop environment. Not a bad option, but if you want all the programs, too, just install kubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-kde4-desktop when you're done | 20:23 |
| ALLpt | i dont want the kde programs, in fact i like more the gnome programs | 20:23 |
| ALLpt | i only want the blue, the icons and all that | 20:24 |
| ALLpt | in that point i think that gnome is not very good :S | 20:24 |
| jonfhancock | visual appeal you mean? | 20:24 |
| ALLpt | yap, thats right | 20:24 |
| DASkreech | ALLpt: just change the Gnome theme to a blue one then | 20:25 |
| TeslaTony | Gotta love linux...don't like something? Choose something else. | 20:25 |

| H_Gonzo | hi everyone, I have a pcmcia-soundcard question | 20:26 |
| kreib | possible to set konversation to autoconncet on start? | 20:26 |
| ALLpt | its why Linux rocks, we have so lot of options, the probleam some times is select one | 20:26 |
| kreib | on computer boot I mean | 20:27 |
| cinex | kreib: ~/.kde/Autostart | 20:27 |
| cinex | you could put a link to it in there | 20:27 |
| H_Gonzo | basically, an audigy pcmcia is detected during hardy's bootable cd start, but once it's installed to the hard drive, the soundcard isn't running anymore | 20:28 |
| kreib | ok, so then konversation starts up, but can I make it automatically connect to channels? | 20:28 |
| cinex | oh I dunno | 20:28 |
| === nicolas_ is now known as pousspouss | ||
| H_Gonzo | has someone had a similar issue? | 20:30 |
| jhutchins_wk | kreib: Check the "Connect on application startup" box for each server you want to connect to. | 20:30 |
| jonfhancock | kreib: you set that up from within konversations | 20:30 |
| kreib | ncie, tha | 20:30 |
| kreib | thx | 20:30 |
| ALLpt | after install, how i can run KDE? | 20:30 |
| ALLpt | i already see all the programs and all that, but my desktop keep in Gnome | 20:31 |
| jonfhancock | kreib: and add the channels you want to the auto join channels section | 20:31 |
| jonfhancock | ALLpt: logout, then select KDE from session types | 20:31 |
| jonfhancock | then log back in | 20:31 |
| ALLpt | ok i will try | 20:31 |

| H_Gonzo | no audigy then :( I'll check the forums | 20:34 |
| SJrX | How can I fix this, as it's REALLY annoying. | 20:34 |
| jonfhancock | SJrX: check your settings in xorg.conf | 20:35 |

| sait8so | KDE question: How to set defaults in KFind? I'd like the default search to start in "/" instead of "file:///home/myname" Any help appreciated. | 20:39 |
| genii | SJrX: Basically, 2 options. 1) Enable session to be saved so that whatever resolution its set when you logoff reappears or 2) make top resolution the (non rediculous) one you want in the xorg.conf | 20:39 |
| SJrX | How do I enable the session to be saved | 20:40 |
| jonfhancock | SJrX: system settings | 20:40 |
| jonfhancock | -> KDE Components | 20:41 |
| jonfhancock | -> Session Manager | 20:41 |
| jonfhancock | check "Restor previous session" | 20:41 |
| jonfhancock | Apply | 20:41 |
| SJrX | That is already checked jonfhancock | 20:44 |
| SJrX | the obsured resolution is 1280x1024 fyi | 20:44 |
| jonfhancock | hmm.. try checking "Restore manually saves session" | 20:44 |
| SJrX | I even changed it in Size & Orientation, and set "Apply settings on KDE Startup" and it didn't do it | 20:44 |
| jonfhancock | then restart x and see what happens | 20:44 |
| jonfhancock | SJrX: what is your video card? and any special monitor setup? | 20:45 |
| SJrX | vmware | 20:45 |
| jonfhancock | ah | 20:45 |
| jessica_ | what dose error 21 mean and how can i fix it | 20:46 |
| jonfhancock | hmm.. I haven't run kubuntu in vmware. or kde at all... | 20:46 |
| jessica_ | in grub | 20:46 |
| cinex | jessica_: google it | 20:46 |
| jessica_ | ok | 20:46 |
| SJrX | It's profile specific | 20:47 |
| SJrX | it only affects my user, the other user doesn't have this switch. | 20:47 |
| SJrX | It also affects KDE 3.5 and KDE 4 | 20:47 |
| jonfhancock | very strange | 20:47 |

| DASkreech | well 4.0 and 4.1 | 21:06 |
| DASkreech | Koffice is still a ways off | 21:06 |
| crimsun | you can confirm with, say, http://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/hardy/kubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.manifest | 21:06 |
| uga | yeah, but I don't want him to be using linux for first time with 4.0 | 21:06 |

| yoyoma | what's the point of the cuve effect then? | 21:19 |
| Jucato | you can, but I think it's a bit screwy | 21:19 |
| Jucato | you'll have to ask in #compiz-fusion | 21:19 |

| uga | it is, just the difference is 0$ | 21:26 |
| uga | (legally) | 21:26 |
| uga | and supports usb2 properly, which, I believe vmware barely manages yet =) | 21:26 |
| __-osh-__ | uga: The guide is for vmware-player to virtualbox. Does it work with vmware-server too? | 21:27 |
| uga | __-osh-__: notice though, iirc ubuntu includes the non-usb version. download the full one from the site | 21:27 |

| K4k-laptop | I downloaded the ktheme .gz file but I can't seem to find where to install it | 21:45 |
| _phoenix_ | the source | 21:45 |
| Jucato | _phoenix_, uga: or "apt-get source kopete" :) | 21:45 |
| Jucato | (if you want the Kubuntu version) | 21:45 |
| _phoenix_ | where i can find the code after downloading | 21:45 |
| uga | Jucato: if he wants to code, I'd rather have him do so in the real source ;) | 21:45 |
| taghasien007 | i need help i have HDD locked in the bios is there any solution please | 21:46 |
| Jucato | uga: well it is the real source too :P | 21:46 |
| uga | _phoenix_: it doesn't install the source by default | 21:46 |
| kalle__ | Cheers | 21:46 |
| Jucato | _phoenix_: in the directory where you ran apt-get source | 21:46 |
| uga | Jucato: yes, of course, if kubuntu devs remember feedign the stuff back upstram | 21:46 |

| K4k-laptop | Jucato, then I guess it was mis-labeled in kde-look.org | 21:47 |
| Jucato | K4k-laptop: what does it say? | 21:48 |
| chosig | taghasien007: try removing the battery from the mobo, it might help - but it might also destroy it too... | 21:48 |
| K4k-laptop | Jucato, what does what say? | 21:48 |
| uga | Jucato: it's possibly a plasma theme | 21:48 |
| Jucato | <K4k-laptop> Jucato, then I guess it was mis-labeled in kde-look.org <--- | 21:48 |
| _phoenix_ | what must i type in in apt-get to make my gcc able to compile it? | 21:48 |
| Jucato | uga: he said ktheme | 21:48 |
| uga | Jucato: bet a pizza? =) | 21:48 |
| K4k-laptop | Jucato, it's listed under the kde4 themes | 21:48 |
| uga | K4k-laptop: which one is it | 21:49 |
| K4k-laptop | when I unzipped it it's a .ktm extension | 21:49 |
| Jucato | uga: how should I know? I don't have the link | 21:49 |
| K4k-laptop | erm...kollide | 21:49 |
| Jucato | I'm only basing it on what he said | 21:49 |
| _phoenix_ | what must i type in in apt-get to make my gcc able to compile it? | 21:50 |
| uga | oh | 21:50 |
| uga | Jucato: it seems to be a style | 21:50 |

| taghasien007 | THANKS CHOSIG the password is in stcked in the hdd i trayd an usb external case but it is impossible to acces or format the hdd | 21:51 |
| uga | Jucato: it's under "theme-manager theme" | 21:51 |

| Jucato | kthememanager doesn't exist in kde4 afaik | 21:52 |
| uga | Jucato: who said that I said that it was for kde4 | 21:52 |
| uga | I only said where kollide was =)) | 21:52 |
| Jucato | <K4k-laptop> how do I install a new theme in kde4? | 21:53 |
| george | dont mess with uga !:)) | 21:53 |
| uga | lol | 21:53 |
| Jucato | right... be he's allowed to mess with me? | 21:53 |
| uga | Jucato: okay, he did, I didn't. Blame him for incorrect information ;P | 21:54 |
| uga | Jucato: K4k-laptop != uga | 21:54 |
| chosig | taghasien007: then i don't have a clue, try googling | 21:54 |
| K4k-laptop | yea, I'm mainly just wondering how to do it, I found most of them are .deb packages, but I remember with kthememanager it had an "install new theme" button which I don't see in the new theme manager | 21:54 |
| uga | Jucato: I didn't mess with you. I just told you what it was | 21:54 |
| Jucato | uga: where was I blaming you? | 21:54 |
| Jucato | K4k-laptop: yeah, in KDE 3 | 21:54 |
| K4k-laptop | right... | 21:55 |
| K4k-laptop | so, does anyone know if you can even install new 3rd party themes in kde4? | 21:55 |
| K4k-laptop | or have they locked you out of that ability | 21:55 |
| uga | K4k-laptop: you can install plasma themes | 21:55 |
| K4k-laptop | ah, ok, thank you | 21:56 |
| Jucato | K4k-laptop: there's just no kthememanager... doesn't mean it's impossible to change themes | 21:56 |
| K4k-laptop | alright | 21:56 |
| banane | i installed the codecs now in hardy, but sound in vlc and mplayer is extremely faint ... | 21:56 |
| Jucato | but, since KDE 4 is based on Qt 4, KDE 3 widget styles would not work in KDE 4 | 21:56 |
| Jucato | so there might be a lack of widget styles for KDE 4 for a while. same with window decorations (I think) | 21:57 |

| yoyoma | can i use the xfce login screen as the default login screen, even though it's not my default GUI (KDE3 is)? | 22:18 |
| chosig | yoyoma: yes, just choose kde as yoru default session (although, i think xfce uses gdm (gnome's display manager), or am i wrong?9 | 22:19 |
| Jucato | yoyoma: yeah. Xfce (or rather Xubuntu) uses GDM, same as GNOME | 22:19 |
| yoyoma | hmm... i'm wanting to retain KDE3 as my default environment when I login, but I like the look and feel of the xfce login prompt better. where do i choose my login prompt? | 22:20 |

| yoyoma | Jucato: I currently have the KDE4 prompt, and would like the xfce one instead | 22:22 |
| Jucato | do you have gdm installed too? | 22:22 |
| yoyoma | i have xfce installed | 22:22 |

| chosig | yoyoma: apt-cache policy gdm | 22:23 |
| yoyoma | i have it installed | 22:23 |
| Jucato | if it's installed. "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xdm" should ask you if you want to use kdm or gdm | 22:23 |
