| dwidmann | awn-manager depends on avant-window navigator depends on awn-manager ...... ....... ...... what??? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| firecrotch | dwidmann: wait what?! | 00:01 |
| firecrotch | Tell me you're kidding | 00:01 |
| dwidmann | firecrotch: I was just playing around, and decided to see what they depended on, then I saw this lovely looking circular dependency | 00:01 |
| mefisto__ | k3b question: when burning, you can set it to verify data after burning. can I get k3b to do that data verification again, or only when burning? | 00:02 |
| dwidmann | firecrotch: ie: "apt-cache rdepends avant-window-navigator && apt-cache rdepends awn-manager" | 00:02 |
| martijn81 | mefisto__: i think that can only be done when you burn the disk | 00:03 |
| firecrotch | mefisto__: methinks only when burning, but if it's an ISO, you could check by making an ISO from the CD and comparing the MD5 hashes | 00:03 |
| mefisto__ | they are interdependent :) | 00:03 |
| mefisto__ | firecrotch: excellent idea! | 00:03 |

| nosrednaekim | Choreboy: nope | 00:24 |
| Choreboy | well that's a handy thing to know. Thanks! | 00:24 |
| nosrednaekim | firefox 2 is firefox-2 | 00:24 |

| Simonft | firecrotch: ubuntu, then kde, then kbuntu | 00:30 |

| Simonft | firecrotch: what will that do? | 00:32 |
| user5 | some ides? | 00:32 |
| firecrotch | Simonft: That will get rid of kdm-kde4 | 00:32 |
| firecrotch | Simonft: Then you want to run sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm | 00:32 |
| Simonft | done | 00:32 |
| mefisto__ | user5: you probably have to refresh the menu. you can start the menu editor (right-click Kmenu) and then just save, wait a few seconds, then check if wine is there | 00:33 |
| Simonft | done, which should I choose, kdm or gdm? | 00:34 |
| firecrotch | Simonft: kdm | 00:34 |
| Simonft | ok | 00:34 |
| firecrotch | Simonft: Then you'll have to kill X or reboot | 00:34 |

| firecrotch | aaroncampbell: Do you have another machine you can put the drive into ? | 01:13 |
| aaroncampbell | firecrotch: not at the moment, it's actually a hardware RAID, 5 drives | 01:13 |
| mike-kubuntu | how do i make kdm-kde4 my default display manager? | 01:14 |
| aaroncampbell | but as far as kubuntu it concerned, it's a single physical drive | 01:14 |
| firecrotch | Creationist: How old is the computer? | 01:14 |
| firecrotch | aaroncampbell: Is the drive full or close to full? | 01:14 |
| aaroncampbell | firecrotch: only 26% full | 01:15 |
| Creationist | firecrotch: The computer itself is probably about 3-5 years old. The drive is only about a year. | 01:15 |
| genii | mike-kubuntu: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm choose kdm-kde4 as login manager | 01:15 |
| mike-kubuntu | genii: thanks! | 01:16 |
| firecrotch | Creationist: I don't see any signs of anyone else having problems with that specific model of drive, so I'm thinking it may be that the drive is failing, or the IDE controller on the motherboard is | 01:16 |
| Creationist | firecrotch: Hmm... doesn't happen in Windows, though. By the way, I just put in a different blank disc (same brand, from same package) and it's burning just fine. | 01:17 |
| firecrotch | aaroncampbell: You *may* be able to recover the files with debugfs | 01:17 |
| firecrotch | Creationist: What brand? | 01:18 |
| Creationist | firecrotch: They're HP discs. | 01:18 |
| firecrotch | aaroncampbell: It's installed be default, I believe. debugfs [device] | 01:18 |
| firecrotch | aaroncampbell: then "lsdel" (which will take some time) will show ALL deleted files that have not had their inodes overwritten | 01:19 |
| firecrotch | Creationist: Ah, there's the problem. HP discs are crap | 01:19 |
| firecrotch | I've had similar problems | 01:20 |
| aaroncampbell | firecrotch: I can't umount...it says it's in use. When I run debugfs on /dev/sda1, I get /dev/sda1: Permission denied while opening filesystem | 01:20 |
| genii | I agree, always had problems burning with HP discs on non-HP drives | 01:20 |
| firecrotch | aaroncampbell: sudo perhaps? | 01:20 |
| Creationist | Hmm... they've served me well so far. But what brand would you suggest? Most of my burning is of software and distros | 01:20 |
| Creationist | genii: These are HP discs with an HP drive ;) | 01:21 |

| Creationist | Well, I got Kubuntu KDE4 burned... gotta go install this puppy :) | 01:22 |
| dave11 | how do we play .pls files without xmms? | 01:22 |
| firecrotch | aaroncampbell: This RAID array only has /home, correct? | 01:22 |
| aaroncampbell | firecrotch: right | 01:22 |
| Creationist | I don't suppose there's an easy way to completely delete my .kde/ directory but save the Amarok, Ktorrent directories, is there? Other than copying them elsewhere? | 01:22 |
| firecrotch | aaroncampbell: If you reboot into recovery mode, you'll be root, and thus /home will not need to be mounted at all | 01:23 |
| aaroncampbell | firecrotch: how do you boot to recovery mode? | 01:24 |
| firecrotch | aaroncampbell: In the GRUB menu, there should be an option for it. Before you go though, I want to give you the directions for doing this | 01:25 |
| aaroncampbell | ok | 01:26 |
| firecrotch | aaroncampbell: Once you're in the recovery mode, which is a pure command line, you'll want to run this: reiserfsck --rebuild-tree -S -l /root/recovery.log /dev/hda3 | 01:26 |
| firecrotch | where hda3 is whatever the device is | 01:26 |
| nosrednaekim | WHY is X using 100MB of Ram here? | 01:27 |
| firecrotch | This will create a lost+found directory with all of the files that could be recovered | 01:27 |
| nosrednaekim | 128 to be exact | 01:27 |
| aaroncampbell | firecrotch: ok | 01:27 |
| firecrotch | aaroncampbell: the filenames may be gone though, so you'll have to go through all the files, except ones in subdirectories, which should still have the filenames | 01:27 |
| * genii sips his coffee and thinks about filesystems designed by madmen | 01:28 | |
| aaroncampbell | firecrotch: got it. Thanks | 01:28 |

| nosrednaekim | potty: probably not | 01:30 |
| dwidmann | When I used Reiserfs I actually took a performance hit... | 01:32 |
| nosrednaekim | it takes more CPU | 01:32 |
| === joey is now known as CyD | ||

| hellhound | thehizz: f4l can edit flash and is the only program i have found | 02:47 |
| Agent_bob | Daisuke_Ido where is the source code posted ? | 02:48 |
| Daisuke_Ido | the format | 02:48 |
| Daisuke_Ido | the swf and flv *formats* have had specs published in the past week by adobe | 02:48 |
| === MrJoey is now known as joeyadams | ||
| Agent_bob | ok. it's "news" to me. i have been busy lately. | 02:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | which paves the way for open source implementations | 02:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | no worries | 02:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | :) | 02:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i call it good news though | 02:49 |
| Agent_bob | yes. umm if you like flash ;/ | 02:49 |
| Agent_bob | but good news anyway | 02:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | anything that that many people use being opened is a good thing overall | 02:50 |
| === yoyoma is now known as yoy0ma | ||
| Daisuke_Ido | love it or hate it, it's here to stay :) | 02:50 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ...until something better comes along (sit down Silverlight, I'm not talking about you.) | 02:50 |
| Agent_bob | Daisuke_Ido yes... i suppose. but it's "why, so mant people use flash" that has troubled me. | 02:51 |
| Agent_bob | anyway that OT. i'll quit | 02:52 |
| dwidmann | wow, the specs have been published? I wonder how long a solid OSS implementation will take to develop and stabilize :) | 02:54 |
| RurouniJones | gnash is working on it | 02:54 |
| dwidmann | gnash has been working on it for eternity already ... | 02:56 |
| dwidmann | I suppose the specs will help a lot though? | 02:57 |
| yoy0ma | i bet it will. it's easier to cook when you know the recipe... | 02:57 |
| yoy0ma | what's a quick way to toggle compiz on and off in 8.04? | 02:57 |
| Agent_bob | or in that case the actual dish. | 02:57 |
| yoy0ma | compiz --replace .... | 03:00 |
| yoy0ma | compiz --disable for now | 03:00 |
| Agent_bob | kwin --replace | 03:00 |
| Agent_bob | but i think he was asking about a hotkey way | 03:00 |
| yoy0ma | ok, so... compiz on = compiz --replace, compiz off = kwin --replace. will that effect future sessions? | 03:01 |
| yoy0ma | (i can write a script and assign a key combo to it, i guess) | 03:01 |
| Agent_bob | will the change of DE affect the hotkeys ? | 03:01 |
| Agent_bob | mostlikely it will. but i know 0.01 about compiz | 03:02 |
| Agent_bob | ntn | 03:02 |
| yoy0ma | national trivia network? | 03:03 |

| thehizz | hey what's a good filesharing program like pando for linux??? is there such a thing?? | 03:07 |
| joseph | ktorrent | 03:07 |
| thehizz | where you can send a big file to someone without having to use ftp | 03:07 |
| joseph | !p2p | 03:07 |
| ubottu | Peer-to-peer filesharing clients are available for several networks/protocols, including !BitTorrent, !Gnutella, !eDonkey, !DirectConnect, !SoulSeek - Multi-protocol engines include !MLDonkey and !giFT - See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information | 03:07 |
| joseph | there you go, thehizz, good luck. | 03:07 |
| thehizz | joseph: is there an easy way to create an ftp server for one folder shared on ubuntu, that i can let the person just dl from my computer?? | 03:09 |
| thehizz | joseph: is there an easy program that acn do that? | 03:09 |
| joseph | thehizz: you could use scp | 03:09 |
| thehizz | scp? | 03:10 |
| joseph | or you could just set up an ftp server | 03:10 |
| joseph | !scp | 03:10 |
| ubottu | SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 03:10 |
| Agent_bob | ssh putty scp | 03:10 |
| joseph | there's a good free windows client for it, too | 03:10 |
| thehizz | joseph: is it easy to setup an ftp server? | 03:10 |
| joseph | winscp | 03:10 |
| Agent_bob | but for one dir maybe vsftp | 03:10 |
| joseph | thehizz: you should read a howto. one sec. | 03:10 |
| joseph | !ftpd | 03:10 |
| ubottu | FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP | 03:10 |
| joseph | thehizz: one sec. | 03:11 |
| thehizz | joseph: which do you recommend, though?? | 03:11 |
| joseph | thehizz: FTP mini-HOWTO: http://tinyurl.com/34p323 | 03:11 |
| joseph | thehizz: i guess it depends. i like to use torrents, but for your needs, i'd use scp. | 03:11 |
| joseph | thehizz: you should read some documentation first, however. | 03:12 |
| Agent_bob | fish://their.ip/ and put it there yourself it you have an ssh account on their box | 03:12 |
| thehizz | joseph: i understand all that there. i know what they are and how they work. but i dont know which one is best to use.. | 03:12 |
| joseph | thehizz: "best" is a subjective word. it all depends on the user. i told you my preferences (see above). | 03:13 |
| joseph | thehizz: unless you're trying to start a file transfer flame, which is not a good thing. | 03:13 |
| thehizz | joseph: you said scp.. but which of the ftp choices.. there were a lot.. | 03:13 |
| thehizz | no, i just want to get this big file to my friend | 03:13 |
| thehizz | joseph: will you pm me? | 03:13 |
| joseph | thehizz: here is a guide to scp: http://tinyurl.com/5gunnf | 03:14 |
| Agent_bob | s s h ! S S H ! S S H ! 'we will hack you, hack you.' | 03:14 |
| joseph | thehizz: i'm sorry, i decline all dcc requests. | 03:14 |
| Agent_bob | sorry wrong tune. | 03:14 |
| thehizz | joseph: how do i pm you? | 03:14 |
| joseph | thehizz: i told you all i'm going to tell you about scp. | 03:15 |
| joseph | see the links i pasted. | 03:15 |
| Agent_bob | !info ssh | 03:16 |
| ubottu | ssh: secure shell client and server (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 1 kB, installed size 32 kB | 03:16 |
| thehizz | joseph: this doesnt make sense, though. i read the tinyurl. i cant use the scp. the tinyurl only said generally about what ftp servers and ftp transfers are.. i know all that.. the ftp! thing you showed me didnt have a link.. | 03:17 |
| thehizz | joseph: can you help me set an ftp server up? | 03:17 |
| joseph | thehizz: the link tells you how to set up ssh | 03:17 |
| joseph | thehizz: i've helped you already. | 03:17 |
| thehizz | joseph: i have ssh | 03:17 |
| Agent_bob | thehizz why can't you use scp ? | 03:17 |
| thehizz | but that isnt an ftp | 03:17 |
| thehizz | the other person isnt on windows.. they're on ubuntu also | 03:18 |
| joseph | sshd facilitates encrypted file transfers | 03:18 |
| joseph | then it should be easy. | 03:18 |
| joseph | scp user@friendscomputer file | 03:18 |
| thehizz | but i dont know how to set it up so they can log in.. and limit them to the one file.. | 03:18 |
| joseph | thehizz: see the ssh documentation. | 03:18 |
| joseph | also type 'man sshd' in a terminal for help | 03:19 |
| joseph | and 'man sshd_config' | 03:19 |
| Agent_bob | scp / root@friends.box:/windows :))) | 03:19 |
| joseph | heh | 03:19 |
| Agent_bob | oops forgot the -r | 03:19 |
| joseph | thehizz: disregard Agent_bob. | 03:19 |
| Agent_bob | why ? | 03:20 |
| * Agent_bob looks around innocently ... | 03:20 | |
| thehizz | ? im pretty confused.. | 03:20 |
| * joseph slaps his forehead | 03:20 | |
| joseph | thehizz: you have to read the documentation - no one is going to walk you through it. | 03:20 |
| Agent_bob | joseph umm i might. | 03:22 |
| * joseph sighs | 03:22 | |
| Agent_bob | thehizz open a terminal. run; sudo apt-get install ssh ;sudo adduser guest set the password for guest as it prompts you. put the files you want them to have access to in /home/guest run: sudo chown guest -R /home/guest so that they have full access to those files. tell them to use ssh(in linux) or putty(in windows) and the guest account with the password you supplied. the scp command comes wi | 03:26 |
| Agent_bob | thehizz alternately you can run; sudo apt-get install proftpd (tweek to your liking) and tell them to login to your ip as ftp://your.ip with the name guest and the password you set up. | 03:28 |
| Agent_bob | or vsftp ^ that too. | 03:29 |
| Agent_bob | and if we tell you more you will be more confused than you already aren't thehizz | 03:29 |
| Agent_bob | cause you know all that. | 03:29 |
| thehizz | Agent_bob: awessomee | 03:30 |
| thehizz | that looks like it should work | 03:30 |
| erpo | I've installed plain vanilla ubuntu and I want KDE 4. Which metapackage should I install to get it? | 03:30 |
| Agent_bob | !kde4 | 03:30 |
| ubottu | KDE 4.0.3 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0.3 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.3.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 | 03:30 |
| Agent_bob | joseph i only walked him through it to confound you, you know :/ | 03:31 |
| Agent_bob | joking | 03:31 |
| erpo | So KDE 4 is not in the main ubuntu repos like KDE 3 is? | 03:32 |

| vanhack | Plummet: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:52 |
| Plummet | what exactly am i supposed to do with that? when i enter it into terminal nothing happens | 03:53 |
| Agent_bob | Plummet you asked the location. you did not ask for a command. | 03:53 |
| vanhack | Plummet: please provide more details on what "moved around" means and someone may be able to tell you what needs editing | 03:54 |
| Plummet | i know xorg.conf needs editing, i dont know how to edit it :( | 03:54 |
| vanhack | Plummet: have you tried "System Settings" -> "Monitor & Display"? | 03:55 |
| Agent_bob | /etc/X11/xorg.con is the "x.conf" you asked about. it's in /etc/X11 you can edit it as root if needed (and you have a clue what your doing) or, you can reconfigure the xserver with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg @plummet | 03:55 |

| cathy_ | hey channel, looks like the freezer trick helped my failing hdd for much longer than 20 min. (in fact, 30 hours and counting) but I've now got to make sure this pc will boot in case that hdd fails again | 03:57 |
| cathy_ | so I have some grub questions... | 03:58 |
| Agent_bob | launch | 03:58 |
| wirechief | !grub | 03:58 |
| ubottu | 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 | 03:58 |
| vanhack | cathy_: any drive that's been freezer'd is pretty much guaranteed to fail again on the next boot... | 03:59 |
| cathy_ | i know what it is...i need some specific help pertaining to my setup...there have been a number of boots over last 30 hours | 03:59 |
| Agent_bob | vanhack ? only if it failed before it was frozen | 04:00 |
| vanhack | Agent_bob: ah, context :) | 04:00 |
| Agent_bob | all i was saying is that freezing doesn't see to hurt an hdd | 04:01 |
| vanhack | Agent_bob: I've never heard of anyone intentionally freezing a drive except as a last-ditch effort on a failed/failing drive | 04:02 |
| Agent_bob | now you have :) | 04:02 |
| cathy_ | anyway...finished doing the spring cleaning of my pc insides, forgot to attach power to second hdd (iffy one), grub came up, but said the drive was missing...yet i'm pretty sure grub, mbr, and actual installation was all on the other drive...could someone please look at my grub file via pastebin? | 04:02 |
| o0Chris0o | sorry for off topic..but I must say......"I am Iron Man" | 04:02 |
| * Agent_bob deep freezed entire boxen for testing. | 04:02 | |
| vanhack | cathy_: menu.lst? | 04:03 |
| cathy_ | yes | 04:03 |
| wirechief | put a pasted of fdisk -l in the paste | 04:03 |
| cathy_ | and i did freezer it to get data off, as last ditch effort for failing hard drive (3 pc's couldn't detect it in bios all of a sudden) | 04:03 |
| Agent_bob | cathy_ sure. paste menu.lst and device.map | 04:03 |
| cathy_ | thx | 04:04 |
| cathy_ | !pastebin | 04:04 |
| ubottu | 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) | 04:04 |
| ArticWolf | during fsck -c ... what does DRDY ERR mean and is it bad?? | 04:05 |
| ASUS-tek | yoo to all | 04:05 |
| * Agent_bob notes that what may have actually helped, could have been messing with the cables rather than the cold storrage... | 04:05 | |
| cathy_ | Agent_bob: it was NOT missing cables....lol | 04:06 |
| Agent_bob | "messing" | 04:06 |
| cathy_ | ack...the pastebin link is in another language! | 04:06 |
| Agent_bob | try http://pastebin.ca | 04:07 |
| vanhack | cathy_: try this one? http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 04:07 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | ArticWolf: Are you using a Dell inspiron 530? | 04:07 |
| cathy_ | Agent_bob: ty :) | 04:07 |
| cathy_ | i was just typing up a request for this one :) | 04:07 |
| ArticWolf | BonesolTeraDyne ... its a asus MB wth athalon 1.3gig cpu 512 ram | 04:07 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | ArticWolf: SATA hard drive(s)? | 04:08 |
| ArticWolf | no older IDE 40 gig ... thiink WD brand but might be Seagate | 04:08 |
| ArticWolf | BonesolTeraDyne .... no older IDE 40 gig ... thiink WD brand but might be Seagate | 04:09 |
| cathy_ | k...pertinent portion of menu.lst is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/10386/ | 04:09 |
| cathy_ | now i'll do the system map | 04:09 |
| Agent_bob | device.map | 04:09 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | ArticWolf: Huh. That message has only popped up on me when using SATAs on my dell. I was going to suggest changing the BIOS settings for the SATAs to RAID, but that won't work. | 04:09 |
| Agent_bob | never mind cathy i've seen enough. | 04:10 |
| cathy_ | Agent_bob: sorry, again, was just gonna ask if it wasn't that one you actually wanted | 04:10 |
| cathy_ | it's so simple we don't need pastebin: one one line it says "(hd0)/dev/hda" | 04:11 |
| ArticWolf | BonesolTeraDyne ... so you dont know what the message means/??? should i worry | 04:11 |
| cathy_ | second & last line of device.map is: "(hd1)/dev/sda" | 04:11 |
| Agent_bob | cathy_ only way to make that work both with and without the other disk is if you put a seperate bootloader on both disks and bounce to that disk with something like lines 34,35,36 | 04:11 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | ArticWolf: Not in this case, I don't. Sorry. | 04:11 |
| ArticWolf | BonesolTeraDyne ... thanks for trying :) | 04:12 |
| cathy_ | Agent_bob: are you telling me grub or mbr was installed on wrong drive? the iffy one instead of where both OS's are? | 04:12 |
| Agent_bob | cathy_ let me elaborate a little. grub uses bios addressing to find it's disks/partitions/files the address for hd0 is always 0x80 if the first disk fails to detect, then the second becomes 0x80 and BOOMB! grub can't find it's disk cause it's looking for 0x81 and that disk is not there anymore. | 04:14 |
| Agent_bob | cathy_ yes the MBR is on the "iffy" disk. and the rest of the grub bootloader is on the second one. | 04:14 |
| cathy_ | because before this hdd seemed to fail, i just had winblows on good sata drive, with ubuntu and gentoo on second ide drive...now i just have winblows and kubuntu on sata | 04:15 |
| mike-kubuntu | hey, my usplash on bootup doesn't seem to start, or starts and then stops abruptly and moves to a text login, nothing is going wrong on bootup from teh messeges i see, or from what i can see in demsg, any tips on how to get a full graphical boot? | 04:15 |
| Ashex | I've currently got the konquerer and adept icon having a seizure next to my cursor | 04:16 |
| Ashex | it's kinda distracting | 04:16 |
| cathy_ | Agent_bob: so now what i need to do is use BluesKag's supergrub.iso cd to copy the mbr to the good sata drive, right? | 04:16 |
| Ashex | well, they're either having a seizure | 04:17 |
| cathy_ | oh no, that won't work, will it? | 04:17 |
| Ashex | or performing coitus and really enjoying | 04:17 |
| Ashex | enjoying it* | 04:17 |
| Agent_bob | cathy_ if you can change your bios to boot the "good" drive bios will address it as 0x80 and grub will see it as (hd0) "note; that alone wont make it boot!" but you can then install grub afresh onto the good disk and that should get you booting from the good disk permanantly | 04:17 |
| monkeybritches_ | mike-kubuntu: Did you install kde4? | 04:17 |
| Agent_bob | cathy_ and as to your Q ^ up there. no. that wont help | 04:18 |
| mike-kubuntu | monkeybritches_: yes | 04:18 |
| cathy_ | because I want to make sure that if the iffy drive fails again, everythig that's needed will be on good sata drive...so there won't be a hd0 AND an hd1 | 04:18 |
| cathy_ | Agent_bob: i can change my bios to boot from the sata drive no problem...used to do it all the time | 04:18 |
| Agent_bob | cathy_ yes, i'm telling you the only known way to do that. you must migrate the good drive to a permanant bios address of 0x80 | 04:19 |
| monkeybritches_ | I think that may be why. I had the same problem and nothing I did could fix it. Uinstalling KDE4 didn't help either. | 04:19 |
| Agent_bob | cathy_ that's one post behind. ^ | 04:19 |
| * Agent_bob is slow typing. | 04:19 | |
| Agent_bob | 112 words a minute. and three [backspace] edits per word == 20 words/minute | 04:20 |
| mike-kubuntu | monkeybritches_: Oh, that just gave me an idea!, nomatter what happens it seems like kdm_kde4 attempts to start, i wonder if i can get it to come back by disableing kdm_kde4 | 04:21 |
| Agent_bob | cathy_ did you follow all of that ? | 04:21 |
| cathy_ | Agent_bob: so let me get this straight: Step 1: reboot to get into bios and make sure it always boots from sata (unfortunately is the third primary master) | 04:21 |
| cathy_ | Step 2: use the supergrub iso to reinstall a new grub on mbr of sata drive | 04:21 |
| cathy_ | it will make a new device map and everything? | 04:22 |
| monkeybritches_ | mike-kubuntu: Try sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm | 04:22 |
| Agent_bob | cathy_ step one and two ok. yes should. | 04:22 |
| Agent_bob | cathy_ note. you "may" experance a third glitch in some BIO'II (is that plural for bios ?) some of them ignore your special disk ordering you setup in the bios setup when you boot from cd/dvd and thus the install of grub might need tweeked still. but best to try it first. | 04:24 |
| cathy_ | ok, cause when i originally took failing ide drive (primary master) out of box, sata drive (third master) took over and botted me into winblows, automatically | 04:24 |
| mike-kubuntu | monkeybritches: cool, ima try now | 04:24 |
| Agent_bob | cathy_ yes but windows looks for it's own first fs and ignores other disks/partitions/fs's when starting. so as soon as you get it's loader kick started it will usualy run with the ball | 04:26 |
| cathy_ | perhaps I should temporarily remove the iffy ide drive then for the reinstall-new-mbr-on-sata-with-supergrub.iso operation? | 04:26 |
| cathy_ | ie step 2? | 04:26 |
| Agent_bob | good idea | 04:27 |
| cathy_ | Agent_bob: thx heaps...I do think I understand all of that :) | 04:27 |
| Agent_bob | to clearify about the differance in windows it calls the first windows partition it finds c: even if it's on 0x83 or higher | 04:28 |
| Agent_bob | cathy_ k. welcome. | 04:28 |
| cathy_ | yeah...i know all that, as when I first started using linux I wasted weeks trying to "fool windows" with the dual boot howtwo's...then found out I didn't need to do all that by accident...k...gonna reboot for this...will come | 04:29 |
| Phantal | My K -> Logoff menu is missing 'hibernate' and 'suspend', options that were there yesterday | 04:31 |
| Phantal | Anyone know why? | 04:31 |
| monkeybritches_ | Phantal: Does it still have Shutdown? | 04:33 |
| Phantal | monkeybritches_: actually no, it just has logoff | 04:33 |
| monkeybritches_ | Phantal: And did it not boot into the GUI, but instead make you log on at the command line? | 04:34 |
| Phantal | no | 04:34 |

| monkeybritches_ | Phantal: Under System Settings > System Services is acpid running/set to start at boot? | 04:46 |
| Phantal | monkeybritches_: it's a very watered-down interface ... just has a checkmark, no information about the service itself other than its name | 04:47 |
| Phantal | but, it is checked | 04:47 |
| Phantal | i see two processes running with 'acpi' in their name, usr/bin/acpid, and hald-addon-acpi | 04:48 |
| monkeybritches_ | Has anything changed since the last time you were able to do it successfully? | 04:51 |
| Phantal | yes, but i wouldn't have expected this to be significant. one sec while i look through this and remember what it was i changed | 04:52 |
| tata | sound prob in kubuntu | 04:53 |
| tata | using usb sound | 04:53 |
| Phantal | I was trying to figure out why the battery monitor in the tray said 'charging' and 99% | 04:53 |
| tata | hello | 04:53 |
| Phantal | So i went into the power control -> laptop battery, and set 'show battery level percentage' because it was unchecked ... and i think that's it | 04:54 |
| Phantal | today when i looked at it, though, the ACPI config page tab had all checkmarks greyed out | 04:55 |
| monkeybritches_ | Have you tried unsetting show battery level percentage to see if it reverses it? | 04:55 |
| Phantal | nope, it didn't | 04:56 |
| monkeybritches_ | I can't think of any other resolutions at the moment. I have problems of my own. Perhaps someone else here knows something? | 05:01 |

| RurouniJones | er | 05:25 |
| RurouniJones | You mean window manager? | 05:25 |
| nimrod | no | 05:25 |
| RurouniJones | distribution? | 05:26 |
| nimrod | yes | 05:26 |
| RurouniJones | the distributions don't differ that much under the hod if you are after "windows look-a-like" | 05:27 |
| RurouniJones | find a window manager that emulates Windows and stick it on top of the distribution of your chocie | 05:27 |
| Mr_Pan | nimrod, | 05:27 |
| nimrod | ok | 05:27 |
| nimrod | i see | 05:27 |
| Mr_Pan | i use kubuntu 8.04 | 05:27 |
| Mr_Pan | the fastest is puppy linux | 05:27 |
| nimrod | puppy linux? | 05:28 |
| nimrod | never heard about it :) | 05:28 |
| RurouniJones | It isn't one of the big major Distributions | 05:28 |
| RurouniJones | but it is small and fast | 05:28 |
| RurouniJones | hence the name | 05:28 |
| inavat | puppies aren't fast | 05:29 |
| nimrod | hehe | 05:29 |
| Mr_Pan | arxh linux is fast too | 05:29 |
| Mr_Pan | arch linux | 05:29 |
| RurouniJones | inavat, chase one with a blowtorch and then say that again. | 05:30 |

| inavat | learn to build programs? | 05:32 |
| nimrod | write programs, i meant | 05:32 |
| o0Chris0o | you don't write them | 05:33 |

| dennister | 'cause while it took some doing...i am now in my new installation, on the sata drive, without the iffy ide drive even attached | 05:39 |
| nimrod | i dont know | 05:40 |
| dennister | lol...used BluesKaj's supergrub.iso, got the mbr on the right drive, then fsck was giving me a rash...had to manually edit men.lst, device.map (and fstab for good measure), etc....but it worked! :) | 05:41 |
| nimrod | cool | 05:41 |
| dennister | even had to find the iso disk, couldn't, had to burn a new one...what a saga, but like i said, if I can boot everything now even if the ide drive fails again... | 05:42 |
| nimrod | new disk? | 05:43 |
| dennister | oh dear, i haven't checked my winblows installation...that pro bably won't work with my menu.lst the way it is | 05:43 |
| Emo_Geek | Okay! Can anyone help me? | 05:43 |

| Emo_Geek | I need some help. I just installed Kubuntu back onto my computer, and now that I have since before i had the unfinished hardy on it, I cannot download programs like fire fox and pidgin and others I need. Is there something wrong in my sources.list? paste.ubuntu.com/10409 | 05:45 |
| nimrod | that sounds ok | 05:45 |

| Emo_Geek | I wanna be able to get my computer back up to speed. I have internet connection and I have a live CD. | 05:46 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: everything is commented out. goto adept manager -> manage repositories and re-enable at least the main repos | 05:47 |
| Emo_Geek | flaccid: brb then, | 05:47 |
| flaccid | np | 05:47 |
| nimrod | i wonder how i can start to learn python-codes | 05:48 |
| flaccid | nimrod: google | 05:48 |
| dennister | anyway, now i should go back to edit menu.lst again for winblows' sake, and try booting it...i just wanted to thank Agent_bob, but he's gone now | 05:48 |

| Emo_Geek | flaccid: wasn't it kdesudo adept_manager? | 05:52 |
| flaccid | calling your username administrator is not great but i doubt that would affect it, but i guess its possible | 05:52 |
| flaccid | yes it was | 05:52 |
| Emo_Geek | flaccid: yeah thats what I typed of what you told me to do. | 05:52 |
| Emo_Geek | flaccid: and thats what I came up with. | 05:52 |
| Emo_Geek | flaccid: *shrugs* so I am not sure what I need to do now. | 05:53 |
| Emo_Geek | I have internet access and everything. | 05:53 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: is your system date correct? | 05:54 |
| Emo_Geek | i.. think so. let me check... | 05:54 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: have you set a root password? can we test this direct under root? | 05:56 |
| o0Chris0o | blah! its still doing it! How do I stop Quanta from opening websites I click on here on IRC? I want firefox to do it, Quanta is a web authoring program | 05:56 |
| Emo_Geek | i cannot get through because I need root access. it wont let me adjust the date and time which has it set to the 5th. | 05:56 |
| needhelp | any ways to combine a few vcds into one single dvd in kubuntu? | 05:57 |
| Emo_Geek | i dont know how to let it allow me to have root access. | 05:57 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: to set a root password do sudo passwd root | 05:57 |
| Emo_Geek | ok | 05:57 |
| Emo_Geek | brb then | 05:57 |
| o0Chris0o | anyone? | 05:59 |
| flaccid | o0Chris0o: what client | 06:00 |
| o0Chris0o | flaccid: ubuntu, but it should be the same for either kubuntu or ubuntu, | 06:00 |
| flaccid | o0Chris0o: irc client i mean | 06:00 |
| o0Chris0o | not sure why firefox isn't picking it up | 06:00 |
| o0Chris0o | oh | 06:00 |
| o0Chris0o | konversation | 06:00 |
| flaccid | ok konversation | 06:00 |
| pirate_chef | Hhmmm...I had that problem, o0Chris0o | 06:01 |
| o0Chris0o | how did ya fix it pirate_chef | 06:01 |
| flaccid | o0Chris0o: change the file association in konqueror or system settings for html files | 06:02 |
| o0Chris0o | prolly system settings, I don't have konq | 06:02 |
| pirate_chef | Yah, I think that's it | 06:02 |
| pirate_chef | hhmmm...maybe | 06:02 |
| pirate_chef | System Settings > Default Applications? | 06:02 |
| Emo_Geek | flaccid: it was having difficulty for me putting in the code. restarting comp and will try again. | 06:03 |
| o0Chris0o | pirate_chef: yeah, it was already selected as firefox | 06:03 |
| pirate_chef | did you have the path? | 06:04 |
| pirate_chef | /usr/bin/firefox | 06:04 |
| pirate_chef | Open http and https URLs in the following browser: | 06:04 |
| pirate_chef | or /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox | 06:04 |
| flaccid | im not aware of konversatin having a config setting for browser, so if html mime is set to firefox it should work | 06:04 |
| flaccid | if it doesn't, submit a bug | 06:05 |
| flaccid | or ask in #kde or #konversation | 06:05 |
| flaccid | is this kde3 or kde4? | 06:06 |
| o0Chris0o | neither | 06:06 |
| o0Chris0o | I am running gnome | 06:06 |
| pirate_chef | hhmmm---- | 06:06 |
| o0Chris0o | but it is a kde app | 06:06 |
| pirate_chef | don't know much about gnome | 06:06 |
| pirate_chef | You would have to change the settings in GNOME, though, right? | 06:07 |
| Emo_Geek | flaccid: password updates successfully. date and time adjusted to correct time. | 06:08 |
| flaccid | o0Chris0o: you probably need to run it under kde for it to work. its how its designed unfortunately unless gnome has an answer hmm | 06:08 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: goto konsole and do su then try adept_manager | 06:08 |
| needhelp | how to mount a cd? i put in my vcd but nothing happen | 06:09 |

| Emo_Geek | flaccid: it said it was set too far in the future again. | 06:10 |
| o0Chris0o | flaccid: actually gnome can run kde apps | 06:10 |

| flaccid | Emo_Geek: ah are you telling me that adept manager does actually run? | 06:27 |
| zeeon | did you try "sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0" in konsole? | 06:27 |

| flaccid | zeeon: no repos is enabled yet.. | 06:27 |
| zeeon | edit sources? | 06:28 |
| flaccid | yes | 06:28 |

| flaccid | !info firefox-3.0 | 06:28 |
| ubottu | firefox-3.0: safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 1001 kB, installed size 3436 kB | 06:28 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: edit the sources manually and then run sudo apt-get update . it should be in the link above | 06:28 |
| flaccid | probably just need: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main universe restricted multiverse if its hardy for example | 06:29 |
| Emo_Geek | nah its gutsy. it said the main universe is restricted. | 06:30 |
| Emo_Geek | how do I edit the sources manually? | 06:30 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: with kdesud /etc/apt/sources.list | 06:30 |
| flaccid | kdesudo /etc/apt/sources.list | 06:30 |
| flaccid | uncomment out main then update list | 06:31 |
| flaccid | i still dont' get what you mean by its grayed out if adept can't even run... | 06:31 |
| fizzer | morning | 06:31 |
| Emo_Geek | so remove the 'uncomment' part? | 06:32 |
| Emo_Geek | or remove the comment in main? | 06:32 |
| flaccid | yeah the '#' | 06:32 |
| Emo_Geek | oh okay brb then | 06:32 |
| flaccid | just remove the hash at front | 06:32 |
| flaccid | then sudo apt-get update | 06:32 |
| Emo_Geek | well when I had the live cd in, it showed me the adept manager | 06:33 |
| flaccid | when you run the live cd, everything is to do with the install on the live cd, nothing to do with what is on the hard disk.. | 06:33 |
| Emo_Geek | now my cources list is completely empty | 06:35 |
| Emo_Geek | **sources | 06:35 |
| flaccid | how did you do that Emo_Geek? | 06:35 |
| Emo_Geek | i dont know.... | 06:36 |
| flaccid | ok change to root with su | 06:36 |
| fizzer | btw how i can get my amorak play mp3 | 06:36 |
| Emo_Geek | the kdesud says that its already running, so I tried the nano sudo /etc/apt/sources.list and there is nothing there. | 06:36 |
| Emo_Geek | how do I do that? | 06:36 |
| hydrogen | it should be sudo nano .. | 06:37 |
| hydrogen | not nano sudo | 06:37 |
| hydrogen | your editing a file called "sudo" | 06:37 |
| flaccid | then do this: echo deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main universe restricted multiverse >> /etc/apt/sources.list; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 | 06:37 |
| hydrogen | which is obviously empty | 06:37 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | fizzer: "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras" | 06:37 |
| flaccid | firefox 3 is backported to gutsy i hope | 06:37 |
| fizzer | BonesolTeraDyne: tu | 06:38 |
| fizzer | ty* | 06:38 |
| fizzer | E: Couldn't find package kubutnu-resriced-extras | 06:38 |
| fizzer | says that | 06:38 |
| hydrogen | ... | 06:39 |
| Emo_Geek | so I do this first: echo deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main universe restricted multiverse, then I do /etc/apt/sources.list? then I do sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 at the end? | 06:39 |
| flaccid | um no, just like i said: echo deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main universe restricted multiverse >> /etc/apt/sources.list; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 | 06:40 |
| hydrogen | I'd suggest just opening adept | 06:40 |
| hydrogen | and going to manage repostiories | 06:40 |
| flaccid | hydrogen: it doesn't open. | 06:40 |
| hydrogen | and enabling multiverse/universe | 06:40 |
| hydrogen | ah | 06:40 |
| Emo_Geek | with the >> in it? | 06:40 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: yes | 06:40 |
| hydrogen | flaccid: that won't work as he's not root | 06:40 |
| Emo_Geek | brb then | 06:40 |
| Emo_Geek | okay so those first, then the update and the install? | 06:40 |
| flaccid | hydrogen: i told him to do it under root | 06:40 |
| hydrogen | echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main universe restircted multiverse" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list | 06:40 |
| flaccid | because google says that the problem could be related to sudo.. | 06:41 |
| flaccid | hydrogen: sources is currently blank. | 06:41 |
| hydrogen | oh man, that was a long read in the scrollback | 06:42 |
| flaccid | hehe | 06:42 |
| fizzer | now i have downloaded kdm theme manager can some one help to isntal it? | 06:42 |
| noaXess | good morning (here it's 0742 am) | 06:42 |
| fizzer | hey what was that command that i can unback ziped files | 06:45 |
| fizzer | tar ... | 06:45 |
| fizzer | or what was it | 06:45 |
| noaXess | uis it stable to upgrad fomr 7.10 to 8.04, or are there some things to know? | 06:45 |
| hydrogen | heh, that pastebin of the sources.list is pretty cool :> | 06:45 |
| flaccid | google fizzer | 06:45 |
| flaccid | fizzer: unzip if its zip | 06:45 |
| noaXess | fizzer: unzip | 06:45 |
| fizzer | what about .tar.bz2 files | 06:45 |
| noaXess | fizzer: google | 06:46 |
| clayd | how do i set up dual monitors on 8.04. I have both running but the desktops are mirrored and i want to span them. | 06:46 |
| noaXess | fizzer: or bunzip2 | 06:46 |
| hydrogen | well | 06:46 |
| hydrogen | tar.bz2 | 06:46 |
| noaXess | clayd: over system setting, display/monitor | 06:46 |
| hydrogen | you should use tar -xjf | 06:46 |
| hydrogen | so you don't need to run two commands | 06:47 |
| noaXess | hydrogen: other way :) | 06:47 |
| Emo_Geek | flaccid: permission denied. | 06:47 |
| hydrogen | no | 06:47 |
| hydrogen | not other way | 06:47 |
| noaXess | i mean other solution than run two commands ;) | 06:47 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: did you run under root. we want to avoid sudo incase its a bug | 06:47 |
| hydrogen | what? | 06:47 |
| Emo_Geek | ok. how do I run it under root? xP | 06:48 |
| hydrogen | (the what being to noaxess) | 06:48 |
| Emo_Geek | ** :P | 06:48 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: just su first | 06:48 |
| Emo_Geek | just type su? | 06:48 |
| noaXess | hydrogen: your solution to extract a tar.bz2 is another solution instead of running two commands.. bunzip2.. tar... | 06:48 |
| flaccid | yeah then put in the root pass you set before | 06:48 |
| hydrogen | yes | 06:48 |
| noaXess | :) | 06:48 |
| Emo_Geek | oh okay! | 06:48 |
| Emo_Geek | -brb | 06:48 |
| flaccid | i always like tar xjvf | 06:48 |
| hydrogen | verbose gets annoying when you unpack really big archives :) | 06:49 |
| clayd | noaXess: when ever i run that the desktop goes goes blank and i only have use of my mouse | 06:49 |
| fizzer | guys please help this wan, in console how i can go other flower :D | 06:49 |
| flaccid | hydrogen: i enjoy it :p | 06:49 |
| noaXess | clayd: then.. it's better to manipulate directly the xorg.conf file.. just googling about dual monitor under linux.. | 06:50 |
| flaccid | fizzer: huh? | 06:50 |
| clayd | thanks | 06:50 |
| fizzer | was it cd /home/fizzer etc... | 06:50 |
| fizzer | or what was it | 06:50 |
| Emo_Geek | flaccid: malformed line 74 in sources list. | 06:50 |
| flaccid | clayd: if you are using open drivers its easy, if you use the restricted its manual generally | 06:50 |
| Emo_Geek | wouldn't let me do that command you told me to do. got in as root tho | 06:50 |
| fizzer | i now have unback kdmtheme and then i need to get that flower where i unback it | 06:50 |
| fizzer | in console | 06:50 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: what does the sources.list look like atm? | 06:51 |
| noaXess | clayd: if you can.. then enable the openssh server on your machin.. and connect with an other machin over ssh to the first machine.. an manipulate the xorg.con file.. then you can restart kdm remotly and see whats happend. | 06:51 |
| clayd | i am using the restricted ones. is it better to use the open ones | 06:51 |
| Emo_Geek | lemme check. will pasteback(?) on paste.ubuntu.com for you | 06:51 |
| flaccid | clayd: only easier for dual display as you can use xrandr but otherwise no | 06:51 |
| noaXess | clayd: what graficcard? | 06:51 |
| flaccid | thanks emo | 06:51 |
| clayd | ati x700 | 06:52 |
| flaccid | clayd: you could try the open driver "radeon" and use xrandr to set the dual display but the graphics performance won't be as good | 06:53 |
| flaccid | in terms of using the restricted driver, google because its not straight forward. | 06:54 |
| navetz__ | where is fstab | 06:54 |
| clayd | dang looks like i have some time to spend wth google and the restricted drivers | 06:54 |
| flaccid | !fstab | navetz__ | 06:54 |
| ubottu | navetz__: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 06:54 |
| flaccid | its in /etc/fstab | 06:54 |
| flaccid | clayd: im on ati too and i know what its like :( | 06:54 |
| Emo_Geek | flaccid: it wont let me paste to paste.ubuntu.com. it looks the same as paste.ubuntu.com/10409/ tho | 06:54 |
| flaccid | but its the same with nvidia. if they supported xrandr then it would all be sweet | 06:54 |
| clayd | why is it that it is so hard to work with ATI under linux? | 06:55 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: run this under root: echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main universe restircted multiverse" > /etc/apt/sources.list | 06:55 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: then try again | 06:55 |
| Emo_Geek | ok | 06:55 |
| flaccid | clayd: because ati doesn't support open/x11 hardware standards | 06:56 |
| flaccid | not all of them | 06:56 |
| clayd | how nice | 06:56 |
| flaccid | ie. im happy to put up with a closed BLOB driver as long as its compatible with the display manager | 06:56 |
| flaccid | but this is not the case | 06:56 |
| Emo_Geek | flaccid: permission denied. | 06:57 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: are you sure this is done under root? | 06:59 |
| Emo_Geek | yes. I have it under root right now. | 06:59 |
| Emo_Geek | I put su, entered the password and it has me under root | 06:59 |
| flaccid | what does file /etc/apt/sources.list return? | 06:59 |
| Emo_Geek | Permission Denied. | 07:01 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: how about ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list | 07:02 |
| fizzer | hmm | 07:04 |
| noaXess | Emo_Geek: why not using sudo? | 07:04 |
| fizzer | where i can get working kdm theme manager | 07:04 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: if i get that i might be able to see the problem with the file | 07:04 |
| Emo_Geek | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4275 2008-05-05 22:49 /etc/apt/sources.listr | 07:04 |
| flaccid | noaXess: because there might be a bug with sudo | 07:04 |
| Emo_Geek | ok | 07:04 |
| Emo_Geek | **sources.list | 07:04 |
| noaXess | what's exactly the problem Emo_Geek? | 07:04 |
| flaccid | he can't change sources.list apparently, even under root, nor does adept manager run | 07:05 |
| Emo_Geek | I just got kubuntu installed back onto myc omputer after the hardy unfinished messed it up, and now I can't install programs I had lost because of it, and now adept manager doesn't run even through the command window and the programs I want to install are gray and unclickable. And its a she. | 07:05 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: so you telling me you can't sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list and save a change? | 07:05 |
| === areels__ is now known as areels | ||
| Emo_Geek | i havent tried it yet. | 07:06 |
| Emo_Geek | new to this whole ubuntu thing. | 07:06 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: you keep saying grayed out, yet you say adept manager won't run. what is grayed out and where? | 07:06 |
| fizzer | hmm in kde-apps kdm theme manager dowloading wont work :/ | 07:06 |
| noaXess | Emo_Geek: start adept_manager over consle.. with: sudo adept_manager | 07:07 |
| Emo_Geek | At first when I ran the live cd, it had the firefox stuff grayed out. sorry. Now that I am not running the cd, i cant get adept manager or add remove programs to run. sorry getting info mixed up. been on this for almost 4 hours now. noaXess: tried it. doesnt work | 07:07 |
| flaccid | noaXess: already tried that. apparently it doesn't run at all. | 07:07 |
| Emo_Geek | so what do I edit in sources.list? writing it all down so I dont miss a beat | 07:08 |
| noaXess | hm.. flaccid: already tested to install any package over console? | 07:08 |
| noaXess | sudo apt-get.... | 07:08 |
| Emo_Geek | yes | 07:08 |
| Emo_Geek | done that on my comp | 07:08 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: put it this way. the only thing you need in sources.list is: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted | 07:08 |
| Emo_Geek | nuthin. | 07:08 |
| flaccid | noaXess: repos need to be enabled to do that. the only thing enabled atm is the cdrom according to http://paste.ubuntu.com/10409/ | 07:09 |
| Emo_Geek | yeah I have that | 07:09 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: without a # ? | 07:09 |
| Emo_Geek | I.. think so yes. | 07:09 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: then sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install firefox | 07:09 |
| flaccid | what happens there.. | 07:09 |
| Emo_Geek | ok lemme try. | 07:09 |
| flaccid | i mean if you do kdesudo /etc/apt/sources.list and can't save then there is something crazy wrong.. | 07:10 |
| flaccid | the file exists and with correct perms so yeah. | 07:10 |
| Emo_Geek | malformed line 74 | 07:10 |
| Emo_Geek | yeah i have tried to edit like the people in #ubuntu for three hours or more told me to do, and it wouldn't sav | 07:11 |
| Emo_Geek | e | 07:11 |
| flaccid | pastebin the current sources.list so i can see line 74 | 07:11 |
| flaccid | i mean if you can't save it wtf. i don't see how the perms can prevent saving. if you are root or under sudo then it should save. | 07:12 |
| Emo_Geek | this is the first line in the sources.list in paste.ubuntu.com/10409 and it hasnt changed since i posted it there. | 07:12 |

| Emo_Geek | I am under root. lemme copy down what it says i am under. brb | 07:12 |
| flaccid | well yes we need to get rid of that and use the repos | 07:12 |
| Emo_Geek | administrator@administrator-desktop | 07:13 |
| Emo_Geek | thats what its under. | 07:13 |
| Emo_Geek | i just put it at administrator to just get the install over with. | 07:13 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: that is not root. | 07:14 |
| flaccid | like i said su for root after setting the password | 07:14 |
| flaccid | the prompt should be root@administrator | 07:14 |
| Emo_Geek | okay. so I have to go through su again. -_- and I had put it at su.... lemme do it again | 07:14 |
| flaccid | you can also do sudo -i to use your user password | 07:14 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: thats what i said 3 times :) | 07:14 |
| Emo_Geek | ok now its at root. sorry. this is the 4th hour i have been doing this nonstop | 07:15 |
| flaccid | you should of put your OWN username in the install | 07:15 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: yeah i knew it would have to be user error. | 07:15 |
| Emo_Geek | i did. I just put it as administrator. | 07:15 |
| Emo_Geek | okay so try the codes again then?] | 07:15 |
| Emo_Geek | **commands | 07:15 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: bad practice. use your OWN username. | 07:15 |
| Emo_Geek | okay okay *slaps hand* | 07:16 |
| flaccid | one sec | 07:16 |
| flaccid | echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main universe restircted multiverse" > /etc/apt/sources.list; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install firefox | 07:16 |
| flaccid | run that under root, let me know the result. | 07:16 |
| Emo_Geek | ok brb then | 07:16 |
| Emo_Geek | OMFG. it all worked. | 07:18 |

| Deepthought | is there a way to adjust sync between image and sound in kaffeine ? The sound lags about a quarter of a sec.. | 07:26 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: its in there. | 07:27 |
| tuanpham | hi | 07:27 |

| tuanpham | but it can't make achiver | 07:27 |
| tuanpham | help help :) | 07:28 |
| ere4si | try tar | 07:28 |
| flaccid | check the boxes for everything but sources. that should do it. | 07:28 |
| tuanpham | how cai i do that ? | 07:28 |
| Emo_Geek | ok breb | 07:28 |
| stefan-f | hmm, okay, Ilost ma network config | 07:28 |
| stefan-f | dont know why | 07:28 |
| ere4si | tar -cf file.tar folder | 07:28 |
| Emo_Geek | flaccid: everything is checked but source code | 07:28 |
| flaccid | ok cool | 07:29 |
| tuanpham | ere4si: i want to make .zip file | 07:29 |
| Emo_Geek | so what next then? | 07:29 |
| tuanpham | not .tar file | 07:29 |
| ere4si | tuanpham: err there's 7zip I think | 07:29 |
| tuanpham | because i send it to other, who use window | 07:29 |
| flaccid | if you have them enabled and you fetch updates, you should be able to install them. what is the name of the package you want install | 07:29 |
| Emo_Geek | i just want to be able to install fire fox from that window. And perhaps Pidgin too since kopete keeps shutting down on me evertime I try to log into it | 07:30 |
| flaccid | well you should be able to | 07:30 |
| tuanpham | do we have any kind of zip | 07:31 |
| Emo_Geek | ok so I fetch and install updates first then right? | 07:31 |
| flaccid | verify by installing with cli. sudo apt-get install firefox or sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 | 07:31 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: yes. | 07:31 |
| tuanpham | wich use in UI ? | 07:31 |
| tuanpham | or contextual menu | 07:31 |
| tuanpham | i tried ark | 07:31 |
| Emo_Geek | iu already sudo apt-get intalled firefox-3.0 | 07:31 |
| tuanpham | but it does not work :( in kubuntu 8 | 07:31 |
| Emo_Geek | theres no updates for it to fetch | 07:32 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: well its already installed. so what is there left to do? | 07:33 |
| ere4si | tuanpham: there is a package called zip - have you installed it? | 07:33 |
| Emo_Geek | wel... Shrugs* I could look through the adept add/remove programs. I just want my system back to where it was when all the programs I was able to install were not gray and unclickable. *shrugs* | 07:34 |
| Emo_Geek | and programs that I used to be capable of installing before hardy messed up my computer are now no longer able to be installed on it. | 07:34 |
| flaccid | Emo_Geek: you have to be specific. you have to find what repos the package is in. | 07:35 |
| flaccid | !info firefox-3.0 | 07:35 |
| ubottu | firefox-3.0: safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 1001 kB, installed size 3436 kB | 07:35 |
| flaccid | that is in main for example | 07:35 |
| mandy | flaccid: it booted me | 07:37 |
| flaccid | ok | 07:38 |
| mandy | but .. oy anyway. before hardy messed up my computer, I was able to install any program from the adept add remove programs list. now only selected programs are available that I can download. | 07:38 |
| mandy | the ones i cant download i used to be able to before are gray and unclickable. that is something i would like to get rid of if i can | 07:38 |
| mandy | if it can't, then I guess run it as is? the other issue I am having is that kopete closes every time i try to log into my accounts on it, and i want to down load pidgin instead, but it wond let me download it. do I just do the code sudo apt-get install pidgin? | 07:41 |
| flaccid | so what happens mandy when you sudo apt-get install pidgin ? | 07:42 |
| mandy | -goes to try- | 07:42 |
| Choreboy | I can't use Compiz effects! Halp! I don't seem to be able to start Compiz. I've followed the directions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion | 07:43 |

| flaccid | mandy: is main enabled in manage repositories and did you fetch updates? | 07:45 |
| Choreboy | yes | 07:45 |
| Choreboy | it just sits there | 07:45 |
| Choreboy | I've done it in Konsole also | 07:45 |
| mandy | yes. it didnt have any updates to fetch or something... no updates showed up that it fetched | 07:45 |
| firecrotch | Choreboy: Can you pastebin the output from Konsole? | 07:45 |
| flaccid | mandy: pastebin current sources.list please | 07:46 |
| mandy | ok. one sec. | 07:46 |
| Choreboy | Would if I could, Konsole doesn't give me anything except a blank line. | 07:46 |
| Choreboy | not even a prompt. | 07:46 |
| Choreboy | I tried it with the Alt+F2 and everything flashes but it doesn't have any effects. | 07:47 |
| firecrotch | Choreboy: Have you installed compizconfig-settings-manager? Also, what version of Kubuntu are you running? | 07:47 |
| Choreboy | yes, 8.04 | 07:48 |
| Choreboy | I've configured various settings like the cube rotation, etc... just can't get 'er up and running | 07:48 |
| mandy | flaccid: it won't let me paste to paste.ubuntu.com. here is what my sources.list says: | 07:48 |
| firecrotch | Choreboy: K Menu -> System -> Desktop Effects | 07:49 |
| flaccid | mandy: why won't it paste to the website? | 07:49 |
| firecrotch | Needs to be set to Custom | 07:49 |
| Choreboy | I've done that too | 07:50 |
| Choreboy | and it is | 07:50 |
| Choreboy | still no effects. | 07:50 |

| flaccid | wtf | 07:51 |
| wirechief_intel | curl -F file=@/etc/X11/xorg.conf nopaste.com/a | 07:51 |
| Choreboy | onboard ATI on laptop | 07:51 |
| flaccid | whats with the wwws? | 07:51 |
| wirechief_intel | you can use that coding to paste files | 07:51 |
| mandy | thats what it says on my sources list. | 07:51 |
| wirechief_intel | install curl | 07:51 |
| wirechief_intel | mandy ^^ | 07:51 |
| mandy | sudo apt-get instal curl? | 07:52 |
| flaccid | how is curl going to help wirechief_intel? | 07:52 |
| wirechief_intel | yes | 07:52 |
| firecrotch | Choreboy: Likely something with your graphics card | 07:52 |
| mandy | brb then/ | 07:52 |
| firecrotch | Choreboy: Unfortunately I know nothing about ATI cards | 07:52 |
| wirechief_intel | change xorg.conf to whatever file name you want to upload | 07:52 |
| flaccid | mandy: goto manage repos in adept, uncheck all, update then exit. then go back into adept manage repos and enable all but the source repos then fetch updates. | 07:52 |
| Choreboy | firecrotch: you know more than I do :-\ | 07:52 |
| wirechief_intel | flaccid that will upload /etc/X11/xorg.conf to paste | 07:52 |
| wirechief_intel | flaccid but you can basicallly set it for any file | 07:53 |
| flaccid | ok wirechief, you look after mandy | 07:53 |
| wirechief_intel | flaccid no i just saw he could not paste, that will help ive got others im working on nwo | 07:53 |
| testsubject | would kubuntu run best on an XBOX360 or a PS3? would wine stuff run well on that? | 07:54 |
| flaccid | wirechief_intel: if you advise something then you must follow through with them. | 07:54 |
| firecrotch | Choreboy: What's the exact model of the graphics card? | 07:54 |
| wirechief_intel | flaccid no, its just code you can use it or not who cares. | 07:54 |
| flaccid | wirechief_intel: im sure mandy cares. | 07:55 |
| mandy | uh yes i do. and also, it still didnt fetch updates. | 07:55 |
| Choreboy | Well I could tell you that if I could log back into windows, which is another problem I have. LILO doesn't give me the option. | 07:55 |
| flaccid | mandy: please explain why. | 07:55 |
| toker | Hi all.. I am not getting much love from the pre-packaged version of wine with guildwars it's really hit-n-miss weather it will start this time or not.. sometimes does and sometimes doesn't.. I have consistantly had good luck when I compile wine by hand.. I remember there being alot of dependent packages that need to be pre installed for a compile of wine to work on *buntu.. I also remember there being a script(?) of some sort | 07:56 |
| toker | that will get the required deps for a hand compile.. but I don't remember where that info is located can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks :) | 07:56 |
| mandy | why I care? oh xP nm then | 07:56 |
| mandy | or it not fetching updates? | 07:56 |
| mandy | i am not sure why | 07:56 |
| flaccid | what happens? | 07:56 |
| flaccid | mandy: what is the output of sudo apt-get udpate; | 07:56 |
| flaccid | sudo apt-get update | 07:56 |
| mandy | lemme check | 07:56 |
| flaccid | !doesntwork | mandy | 07:56 |
| ubottu | mandy: 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. | 07:56 |
| firecrotch | Choreboy: lspci | grep ATI | 07:56 |
| flaccid | i'll brb | 07:57 |

| firecrotch | Choreboy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixLaptopATIcard has a fix, I can't personally vouch for the validity of it though | 07:59 |
| Choreboy | firecrotch: so it really IS my card? Wowza. | 07:59 |
| firecrotch | Choreboy: Could be. I'm by no means an expert on Compiz or ATI problems | 08:00 |
| Choreboy | firecrotch: well I appreciate the googling. I wouldn't have even thought to search for a fix. | 08:01 |
| firecrotch | Google: it's what I do best lol | 08:01 |
| Choreboy | firecrotch: I usually don't ask for help with things i can find out there on the googles, I try to keep IRC as a last resort. | 08:02 |
| firecrotch | Choreboy: well, I seem to have a knack for finding stuff on Google that other people can't find, anyways | 08:02 |

| Piero_Scaruffi | gzipped tar | 08:06 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | i am clueless | 08:06 |
| Choreboy | firecrotch: I think it was Yahoo. My dad has used it. Someone asks a question and says how much the answer is worth to them. If you find the answer, you get that money | 08:06 |
| Choreboy | firecrotch: or something to that effect | 08:06 |
| mandy | flaccid: it says that there were no updates available to install | 08:07 |

| firecrotch | djdarkman: Definitely over my head there.... sorry | 08:16 |
| flaccid | those kind of errors usually depict incorrect lang version | 08:16 |
| flaccid | incorrect version somewhere thus the undefinitions | 08:17 |

| Piero_Scaruffi | i was wondering how i can install this app, which isn't in the repos yet: http://dp0154.debowypark.waw.pl/ac/downloads/alarm-clock-0.9.3.tar.gz ? | 08:23 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | i am clueless | 08:23 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | gzipped tar | 08:23 |
| flaccid | Piero_Scaruffi: did you read the INSTALL and/or README files? | 08:23 |
| ere4si | Piero_Scaruffi: I was going to say that...there nearly always is a readme | 08:24 |
| Choreboy | If anyone sees firecrotch in here again, tell him (her?) I said thanks! | 08:24 |
| ere4si | Piero_Scaruffi: double click the file and it should unpack | 08:24 |
| flaccid | follow the INSTALL please which will specifiy how to build | 08:25 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | yes flaccid | 08:27 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | i did i extracted it | 08:27 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | but i cant find the folder it has been extracted too | 08:27 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | i am not so good with kubuntu | 08:27 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | and i couldnt find where the location is | 08:28 |
| flaccid | maybe this is out of your league | 08:28 |
| flaccid | you should learn shell basics first | 08:28 |
| flaccid | i don't know where you extracted it.. | 08:28 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | yes it is way out of my league hence why i am here to ask you kindly for help | 08:29 |
| flaccid | which i am giving | 08:29 |
| flaccid | it should be clear with ark in the gui where it goes and as for cli if you use tar for example it does in the pwd | 08:30 |
| ere4si | sudo updatedb && locate alarm-clock | 08:30 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | k i installed it | 08:34 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | now i cant launch it | 08:35 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | i dont have a start menu and i want to launch it from Konsole | 08:35 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | it says it should be in Applications> Accessories but i cant find this in Konquerer | 08:35 |
| flaccid | whats the output via cli - pastebin ? | 08:35 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | the application installed only i cant find a way to launch it | 08:38 |
| flaccid | Piero_Scaruffi: find out the name of the binary file | 08:38 |
| ere4si | Piero_Scaruffi: open a konsole and type which alarm-clock | 08:39 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | i found the install dir in usr/share only there is no shortcut there | 08:40 |
| ere4si | Piero_Scaruffi: look for it in /usr/bin | 08:40 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | k ty | 08:41 |
| flaccid | it should be in the doco - ie. default install locations | 08:41 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | nope not there it will try to launch when i type: alarm-clock in Konsole but i get an error | 08:44 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | error loading pynotify module! | 08:45 |
| flaccid | all you can do is google that error | 08:46 |
| flaccid | really | 08:46 |
| CruX| | hello | 08:48 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | yes i can and then i will have instruction which i wont understand and misinterpret and execute wrong because i will be reluctant to ask in here because i got the google treatment | 08:48 |
| CruX| | i have problem when i lock session using ctrl+alt+l i cant login | 08:48 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | like i said i am very very novice | 08:48 |
| CruX| | i always get login failed message | 08:48 |
| flaccid | Piero_Scaruffi: yeah its outside of scope/skillset/what people are prepared to help with | 08:48 |
| CruX| | where is the problem ? | 08:48 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | if i wasnt novice i would be using arch linux | 08:48 |
| flaccid | Piero_Scaruffi: its outside of your skillset. | 08:49 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | flaccid true thats why i am here asking for help | 08:49 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | and by reading instructions full with in depth tech savvy linux language i will just get confused and frustrated | 08:50 |
| flaccid | its kind of outside of the scope of kubuntu desktop support | 08:50 |
| ere4si | Piero_Scaruffi: in the readme it will tell you it needs certain python modules - you don't have them | 08:50 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | so i will just have to install pynotify ere4si? | 08:51 |
| ere4si | Piero_Scaruffi: you should read the readme - there might be more | 08:51 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | 5. What should I do before installing? | 08:51 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | Basically nothing. You need to have Python and PyGTK installed, though. For sound support you need to install GStreamer python bindings. If you want to play MP3 files, you need to download codecs for GStreamer first. | 08:51 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | i have all that | 08:52 |
| ere4si | Piero_Scaruffi: what sound file are you using? | 08:52 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | pulseaudio | 08:53 |
| ere4si | Piero_Scaruffi: it makes a sound for the alarm - that is a file - what is it called? | 08:53 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | maybe arts i dunno | 08:54 |
| ere4si | Piero_Scaruffi: it wil be a file.wav or file.mp3 - look in the readme | 08:54 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | ok | 08:55 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | thanks | 08:55 |

| CruX| | solved problem | 09:04 |
| CruX| | damn ubunti is a shit | 09:04 |
| Choreboy_Sean | anyone? LILO? | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip | wassup | 09:05 |
| flaccid | dhq_: there is no synaptics in there and is generated by the nvidia restricted driver. why is that? | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Choreboy_Sean: wassup with lilo? | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: you need to enable the restricted repos | 09:06 |
| Choreboy_Sean | ActionParsnip: I think it hates me. It doesn't give me a windows boot option, just says "Starting Linux..." | 09:06 |
| flaccid | ActionParsnip: i don't have the problem. | 09:06 |
| flaccid | ActionParsnip: more likely nvidia-config overrireded it. | 09:06 |
| dwidmann | Choreboy_Sean: more like it hates windows, not like it hates you :P | 09:07 |
| dhq_ | flaccid: well i dont know when i used the restricted driver provided by kubuntu i get a black screen and nothin else so i installed the driver directly from the site | 09:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Choreboy_Sean: have you been modifying your lilo config? | 09:07 |
| flaccid | dhq_: thats why | 09:07 |
| Choreboy_Sean | ActionParsnip: I had Xubuntu 7.10 with Grub and that worked just fine, then I formatted the Xubuntu partitions because I wanted XFS file system and installed Kubuntu 8.10 with LILO instead of Grub | 09:07 |
| flaccid | ubuntu doesn't support that | 09:08 |
| flaccid | which is why synaptics is gone | 09:08 |
| kblin | morning folks | 09:09 |
| flaccid | dhq_: you need something like this in there: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10442/ | 09:09 |
| Choreboy_Sean | ActionParsnip: I can view my windows partition and access the files from Kubuntu but I just do not get any option to boot to Windows | 09:09 |
| kblin | I just realized that while upgrading my laptop to hardy, my external monitor setup on my laptop broke | 09:09 |
| kblin | the external monitor will be recognized when X11 starts, but if I try and change the resolution of my desktop using xrandr, the external monitor won't get any signal anymore | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Choreboy_Sean: you'll need to add a few lines to your boot loader to make the windows boot an option | 09:12 |

| Damenheth | ActionParsnip: do I copy the files or the directory to that location? | 09:47 |
| XVampireX | ActionParsnip: What I meant is that if there's a way to install KDE4 and still have KDE3, but so that I don't see KDE3 apps inside KDE4 and vice versa... | 09:47 |
| ASUS-tek | ok hum.. | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Damenheth: yes indeed | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | XVampireX: not all apps are using KDE4 yet, they are being updated so KDE3 can be dropped, if you are running KDE4 and are running certain apps you will have KDE3 libs installed as well | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | XVampireX: if all the apps you run have moved over you will not need KDE3 at all but its highly unlikely | 09:49 |
| XVampireX | Well here's an example, There's amarok 1.4.7 right and there's amarok 2.0 if I install KDE4 I'll have only amarok 2 or will I have both versions? | 09:50 |
| Damenheth | I really didn't get that one :D which is it? Sorry my mother's tongue is finnish.. | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | XVampireX: you will have both KDE3 and 4 unlesyou uninstall KDE3 | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Damenheth: copy both to the location | 09:50 |
| Damenheth | Okay. | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Damenheth: if you google for the .so file's name then it tells you much :) | 09:50 |
| XVampireX | So it's not recommended installing KDE4 on top of KDE3 | 09:50 |
| Damenheth | how do I copy a whole directory? | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Damenheth: you just copy the files | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Damenheth: sudo cp * /etc/whatever/the/folder/is/i/forgot | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | DONT COPY THAT | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | hehe | 09:52 |
| Damenheth | :E | 09:53 |
| Damenheth | it said "Omitting directory.." | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | huh | 09:53 |
| ere4si | cp -rvcp -vr | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | make sure you are in the folder with the files | 09:53 |
| ere4si | oops cp -vr | 09:53 |
| Damenheth | yep | 09:54 |
| Damenheth | I'm there | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Damenheth: you want the 2 files you extracted in the folder I told you | 09:54 |
| Damenheth | sudo cp sis_drv.la /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers ? | 09:55 |
| Damenheth | and the same for the other? | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Damenheth: then backup your xorg.conf and add those lines that the website i pasted you said | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Damenheth: that'll do it | 09:55 |
| ere4si | hi styles_ | 09:58 |
| styles_ | hi | 09:58 |
| styles_ | haha | 09:58 |
| ere4si | hehe | 09:58 |

| Damenheth | When I copied that sis_drv_i386.so, my whole screen turned into rainbow. | 09:59 |
| Damenheth | Flickering stopped :D | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | styles_: kde4 is also customisable, KDE4 default is black but can be made to look much like how you want | 09:59 |
| Damenheth | But I can't adjust my resolutions now.. | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Damenheth: cool | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Damenheth: id reboot just to check | 10:00 |

| ackbahr | Hello! Problems setting up sound.... Could someone help me? Thanks! | 10:05 |
| flaccid | !sound | ackbahr | 10:05 |
| ubottu | ackbahr: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 10:05 |
| ASUS-tek | ubottu is nice who programed it | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | i use kde3 cos I know it works. I am very reluctant to run beta software and wait for the updates to happen automatically. I work on servers all day so want as few headches as possible, hence me not running windows and only buying hardware that will work out of the box garunteed | 10:06 |
| ackbahr | Ah, sorry, I'm on gnome.... Why does Konversation take me there by default? I'll go ask somewhere else, sorry about that.... | 10:06 |
| flaccid | ubottu is good if its updated. | 10:06 |
| flaccid | ActionParsnip: well kde 4 is not beta | 10:06 |
| flaccid | yet if feels like beta to me :( | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | ackbahr: if you are running gnome with konversation you have installed KDE as well | 10:07 |

| gp | is intel hda isuue is fixed in the ne2 8.04 release ? | 11:40 |
| flaccid | gp: not sure. but from keeping an eye on updates, i have not seen one but could be wrong | 11:41 |
| gp | intel sound issue | 11:41 |
| ronnie | just my bad luck! = ( I bought a new video card (geforce 5500-256MB) & it's not listed in the driver choices, so kubuntu reads it as geforce4 (generic) any help how to fix this? very much appreciate it! : ) | 11:41 |
| flaccid | ronnie: which driver are you using? | 11:42 |
| gp | i will give 1 million dollors to any one who fix sound on my laptop | 11:42 |
| ronnie | I just reinstalled kubuntu & it read it automatically as geforce4 | 11:42 |
| jussi01 | gp: it should be. but please, we dont want your money. | 11:42 |
| flaccid | gp: ok, i'll take that money then use it t buy a windows notebook | 11:42 |
| flaccid | actually a mac book | 11:43 |
| gp | mac sucks | 11:43 |
| FallenHi1okiri | gp: no it doesn't | 11:44 |
| jimmy51vinsky | are there any MS exchange server compatible mail clients for linux/kubuntu? | 11:44 |
| gp | it does , its most closed sourced OS in world | 11:44 |
| flaccid | gp: why is that | 11:44 |
| flaccid | jimmy51vinsky: yeah most of them. the exchange server needs to enable IMAP access. | 11:45 |
| FallenHi1okiri | gp: yeah, ubuntu users complaining about closed source,... lol.. *hint* lunchpad | 11:45 |
| FallenHi1okiri | jimmy51vinsky: take a look at evolution | 11:45 |
| flaccid | gp: care to give a real answere | 11:45 |
| ronnie | hmm maybe I can put the driver as a geforce 6 , kinda scared to fry it tho hehe | 11:45 |
| jimmy51vinsky | does imap support the exchange calendar and all? | 11:45 |
| jimmy51vinsky | and yes, mac does suck | 11:45 |
| gp | mac == reality distortion field | 11:46 |
| flaccid | jimmy51vinsky: no only the closed protocol, 'exchange' does that. | 11:46 |
| FallenHi1okiri | gp: it's nice that you produce a lot line noise, but do you mind bringing some real arguments in? or is that just bad trolling? | 11:46 |
| gp | kububtu + on one only supported hardware will be 10 times better than mac | 11:46 |
| flaccid | gp: prove it. | 11:47 |
| flaccid | such broad terms.. | 11:47 |
| gp | i will | 11:47 |
| jimmy51vinsky | crap. i'd like to switch my workstation over to kubuntu (we're an MS shop here) but exchange is the showstopper | 11:47 |
| flaccid | jimmy51vinsky: can't do anything. you are working backwards. server infrastructure needs to be changed to open source! | 11:47 |
| gp | jimmy51vinsky: use popand smtp | 11:48 |
| flaccid | gp: that won't help. | 11:48 |
| flaccid | and pop is legacy compared to imap | 11:48 |
| gp | it works | 11:48 |
| flaccid | gp: not for calendar which is the requirement | 11:48 |
| gp | evolution has exchange plugin use that | 11:48 |
| gp | use wine + outlook | 11:49 |
| jimmy51vinsky | hmm | 11:49 |
| flaccid | so which is it, evolution or wine + outlook ? | 11:49 |
| jimmy51vinsky | that sounds like it would work, if outlook is stable under wine. i've never had luck with wine | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | jimmy51vinsky: why not just use thunderbird / kmail? | 11:50 |
| flaccid | its not stable under wine at all | 11:50 |
| gp | try crossover office if got some $$ | 11:50 |
| flaccid | ActionParsnip: because he needs calendar | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | !sunbird | jimmy51vinsky | 11:50 |
| ubottu | jimmy51vinsky: Mozilla Sunbird™ is a cross-platform calendar application, built upon Mozilla Toolkit. Our goal is to bring Mozilla-style ease-of-use to your calendar, without tying you to a particular storage solution. | 11:50 |
| gp | install zimbra | 11:50 |
| flaccid | i have not heard of this working under evolution or similar | 11:50 |
| ronnie | oh well I have always found linux to be a trial N error system on some packages ; ) if only I could install all my cd drivers I'd be estatic! tho their all exe. ones for win-doohs! | 11:51 |
| flaccid | mozilla != microsoft | 11:51 |
| flaccid | ronnie: linux is not windows. | 11:51 |
| jimmy51vinsky | hehe, no money... IT would just refuse the order and say to use Windows :). | 11:51 |
| flaccid | jimmy51vinsky: not much is scientific when m$ is involved. | 11:51 |
| gp | visrtual box + outlook +xp | 11:51 |
| flaccid | gp: why not just boot info windows? the performance is much better. | 11:52 |
| FallenHi1okiri | ideas getting worser... | 11:52 |
| gp | or configure wine + outlook | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | why install propietary on linux when 9 times out of 10 theres anopen alternative | 11:52 |
| flaccid | ActionParsnip: not for the exchange protocols. | 11:52 |
| FallenHi1okiri | ActionParsnip: because sometimes it's the one thing you need for your business | 11:52 |
| gp | flaccid: he will protected from virus in linux | 11:52 |
| jimmy51vinsky | if there's an open alternative to Outlook that fully supports the mail and calendar features, i'd jump on it. it doesn't sound like there is though | 11:53 |
| flaccid | gp: that doesn't make sense at all | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: i thought thunderbird talked to exchange nicely | 11:53 |
| flaccid | there is no alternative here. | 11:53 |
| flaccid | ActionParsnip: maybe im wrong. it didn't when i tested it. | 11:53 |
| FallenHi1okiri | flaccid: it actually does if you have no clue and try to troll ;) | 11:53 |
| flaccid | FallenHi1okiri: as i said. i tested it. | 11:53 |
| flaccid | and it failed. | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/03/30/howto-thunderbird-and-ms-exchange-server/ | 11:54 |
| flaccid | so now its you who is trolling FallenHi1okiri | 11:54 |
| gp | reverse engineer exchange protocol | 11:54 |
| flaccid | i guess you are talking in theory. im talking in practive. | 11:54 |
| FallenHi1okiri | flaccid: i refered to "145518 < flaccid> gp: that doesn't make sense at all" | 11:54 |
| flaccid | FallenHi1okiri: yes. | 11:54 |
| jimmy51vinsky | that link doesn't mention calendar | 11:54 |
| flaccid | exactly lol. | 11:55 |
| FallenHi1okiri | ActionParsnip: looks like mail only? | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | http://kb.mozillazine.org/MAPI_Support | 11:55 |
| gp | its just says how to use IMAP and stuff | 11:55 |
| flaccid | i tried that it didn't work. FallenHi1okiri please explain | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | install sunbird for calendar | 11:55 |
| jimmy51vinsky | we use calendar for meetings (obviously) but also to book resources (meeting rooms, projectors, whatever) | 11:55 |
| jimmy51vinsky | is sunbird client compatible with exchange? | 11:55 |
| flaccid | i've never seen it working | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | sunbird / exchange integration is not planned | 11:56 |
| FallenHi1okiri | flaccid: i'm sorry but you seem to get me terrible wrong. mind if we query? | 11:56 |
| flaccid | i rest my case. | 11:56 |
| flaccid | FallenHi1okiri: nah im done. | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | jimmy51vinsky: if outlook does what you need, install it. its the tool for the job | 11:56 |
| jimmy51vinsky | ok, but it's gotta be under windows, from the comments above. | 11:57 |
| jimmy51vinsky | thanks for the help (and i didn't mean to start an argument) | 11:57 |
| gp | jimmy51vinsky: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-158553.html | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | jimmy51vinsky: then use windows | 11:58 |
| flaccid | i mean if anyone can show me a full working exchange solution for *nix, im happy to view it | 11:58 |
| tsb_ | Hi. For some reason metacity starts up as the wm in kde. If I kill it, start kwin and log out, it is still the same when I log in again, which is strange because of the session manager. Any ideas? | 11:58 |
| gp | jimmy51vinsky: stop using exchange or change ur company | 11:58 |
| flaccid | hehe | 11:59 |
| flaccid | finally it comes out | 11:59 |

| lovre | ActionParsnip: ok, thank you | 12:21 |
| jimmy51vinsky | (which would be apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop) | 12:21 |

| ActionParsnip | viperserv2: is there a sampe httpd.conf? | 12:39 |
| viperserv2 | no | 12:40 |
| Damenheth | It doesn't really "error" it just plainly crashes at sight, after I choose a different monitor from "Plug'n'play" | 12:40 |
| kalib | Damenheth after run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, you'll have to restart your X session | 12:40 |

| ActionParsnip | gp: well at least we are updated :) | 12:42 |

| ActionParsnip | gp: yeah try it | 12:42 |

| ActionParsnip | Damenheth: most is ok (like kboard and mouse etc). just look of for graphics related noise | 12:42 |

| Damenheth | Does my monitor just suck that bad? | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | thats a fine monitor | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | least you arent flickering though, you need to tellyour system you can do higher resolutions and you've cracked it | 12:47 |
| Damenheth | But in all of the guides they say I need "pairs" so it should be something like "31Khz-96khz" | 12:47 |

| ActionParsnip | alesan: are you wanting to use static or dhcp? | 14:20 |

| alesan | and for example, wireless is disabled, no way to turn it on | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | alesan: what i can suggest is if you rename /etc/network/interfaces something else (like interfaces.bak) (you'll need sudo) then reboot you will get a blank network setting and dhcp will be default, You will also need to setup the wireless again. Backing up enables you to roll back | 14:26 |

| jimmy51vinsky | how long should apt-file update take the first time it's run? | 16:29 |
| lovre | jimmy51vinsky: i would bet on not long | 16:29 |
| Pici | jimmy51vinsky: it takes a few minutes, but perhaps longer depending on whether the mirrors are having issues or not (which some of them are now) | 16:30 |
| geega | hi.. i remove the sound card icon from the task bar" .. | 16:32 |

| _Shade_ | any ideas about the wifi connection? i am in trouble | 16:32 |
| geega | how can i get back that | 16:32 |
| jimmy51vinsky | ok, i guess the mirrors are the problem | 16:33 |
| jimmy51vinsky | it ran for 15 minutes, so i aborted and started again. it's at 5 now | 16:33 |
| jimmy51vinsky | might be a good time for lunch, i guess | 16:33 |
| jimmy51vinsky | so what's up with the repositories today? | 16:42 |
| kkathman | jimmy51vinsky: new updates to Hardy, and everyone is updating | 16:43 |
| horux | alguno aqui que hable en español??? | 16:43 |
| kkathman | !es | 16:44 |
| ubottu | Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 16:44 |
| jimmy51vinsky | 4.6 MB of updates is enough to slow it all down? | 16:44 |
| horux | ok | 16:44 |
| kkathman | jimmy51vinsky: when hundreds or thousands are getting them, yes | 16:44 |
| kkathman | you can always reset your sources.lst and try another mirror | 16:44 |
| kkathman | hardly worth the effort tho, mine took less than 15 minutes | 16:45 |

| stdin | no rss feed, but there's a mailing list https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/hardy-changes/ | 17:37 |

| zubin | guilhermeblanco: do you have all the dvd libraries installed? | 17:37 |
| zubin | including the restricted ones? | 17:37 |
| stdin | jabba: just uploads, no "chat" | 17:37 |
| guilhermeblanco | After a dist-upgrade, my kaffeine stopped working. I tried both engines (kaffeine-xine and kaffeine-gstreamer). In kaffeine-xine, I reports me this error: Loading of player part 'XinePart' failed, and tells me one of the audio codecs could not be loaded. In kaffeine-gstreamer, it tells me it could not load alsasink. I removed and reinstalled libxine1 and gstreamer, with no success. If I start xine-ui, it loads the video, but with no audio. | 17:37 |
| jabba | thanks stdin | 17:38 |
| guilhermeblanco | better explanation of my situation zubin | 17:38 |
| guilhermeblanco | zubin: which ones do you mention as restricted? | 17:38 |

| guilhermeblanco | the only one I can remember is libk3b2-extracodecs... which I don't have installed | 17:39 |
| jimmy51vinsky | after about 15-20 minutes | 17:40 |
| guilhermeblanco | zubin: " | 17:40 |
| zubin | well this is the restricted on i have: libdvdcss2. and the others i've got are libdvdnav4,libdvdread3 | 17:40 |
| guilhermeblanco | libdvdread3 is only necessary if you use kmplayer, afaik | 17:40 |
| zubin | tried another backend such as Mplayer or VLC ? | 17:40 |
| zubin | so xine doesn't use libdvdread3? really? | 17:42 |
| zubin | do you have it installed? | 17:42 |
| guilhermeblanco | mplayer does not work... do not tried VLC... oglex starts, but crashes after 2 seconds | 17:42 |
| guilhermeblanco | zubin: I have libdvdread3 installed | 17:43 |
| zubin | have you tried starting them from the command line to see what messages show up? | 17:43 |
| guilhermeblanco | no... give me a second... Iḿ checking the other libs you told me... | 17:44 |
| tribaldata | guys : Anyone had this issue, once you initiated a reboot from console the server hang and ask for root password for maintenance or hit CTRL-D. | 17:44 |
| guilhermeblanco | it's cursious because kaffeine was working | 17:44 |
| zubin | libdvdcss2. is important for encrypted dvd's | 17:44 |
| guilhermeblanco | before the dist upgrade | 17:44 |

| contrast83 | jimulis: *Ubuntu gets a new version every six months, but you're never really required to upgrade from one to the next if you don't want to. | 19:02 |

| _strog | contrast83: y? | 19:06 |
| contrast83 | jimulis: Yeah, the Ubuntu servers have been slow as hell the past few days. I'd imagine it's because 8.04 is an LTS release so a lot more people are upgrading to it than usual. | 19:06 |
| contrast83 | _strog: The name. | 19:06 |

| contrast83 | epsilorn: Did you try running the restricted drivers manager and rebooting? | 19:09 |
| CrummyGummy | Hi all, any ideas why konqueror would not be able to resolve any dns names. dig works fine... | 19:09 |

| samba_kubuntu | ? | 19:15 |
| samba_kubuntu | what? | 19:15 |
| jussi01 | sorry, wrong language | 19:15 |
| epsilorn | contrast83: it's in italian, but it refers to file signature saying is present in another packet created by a script (i've downloaded last ati drivers from ati) | 19:15 |
| epsilorn | but it's not a driver problem, before this last update it was working | 19:16 |
| contrast83 | epsilorn: You need to reinstall your driver manually if that's how you did it before the X upgrade. | 19:16 |
| contrast83 | Using the restricted manager (or even just Ubuntu's packages) takes care of that for you, but I realize that's not always the best option. I'm in the same boat myself, actually. | 19:17 |
| epsilorn | iv laready done it just now, it didn't work | 19:17 |
| contrast83 | Reinstalled the driver then rebooted? | 19:18 |
| epsilorn | yep | 19:18 |
| epsilorn | probably i could use the old xorg.conf backup, do you know if X updating also writes the xorg.conf? | 19:19 |
| contrast83 | epsilorn: sometimes, but it always makes a backup | 19:20 |
| contrast83 | epsilorn: try reinstalling then *just* restarting X, *not* rebooting. oddly enough, with my current setup, i have to reinstall the driver eveery time i reboot. :-\ | 19:21 |
| epsilorn | contrast83: O_O | 19:21 |
| contrast83 | yeah, i know... thank god it's not windows :-P | 19:22 |
| epsilorn | contrast83: sadly i cannot restart x withiut restarting, if i try to logoff my pc freezes | 19:22 |
| contrast83 | epsilorn: have you tried Alt+SysRq+K? That's a *last resort* for restarting X, when properly restarting it and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace do nothing. | 19:23 |
| epsilorn | contrast83: by the way, do you know why ati catalyst control center has options grayed out? | 19:23 |
| freddy | hoola | 19:24 |
| contrast83 | epsilorn: Your card doesn't support them? I have no idea, tbh. I thankfully have pretty much no experience with ATI cards. | 19:24 |
| epsilorn | contrast83: what's SysRq (noobish question :D) | 19:24 |
| samba_kubuntu | alt+sysrq+b :) | 19:24 |
| samba_kubuntu | sysrq -> PrtSc | 19:24 |
| contrast83 | samba_kubuntu: That should never be run without a few other magic sysrq keys prior to it though. ;-) | 19:25 |
| contrast83 | Proper way to reboot a system when everything seems to be frozen: Alt+SysRq+(<R>aising <S>kinny <E>lephants <I>s <U>tterly <B>oring) | 19:26 |
| contrast83 | If that doesn't work, the kernel crashed, and if that's happening a lot, something's really wrong. | 19:27 |

| _strog | can someone tell me how to restore my taskbar in kde4? | 19:28 |

| contrast83 | A word of advice to anyone who hasn't yet upgraded to Hardy from Gutsy: Don't use the GUI for it. The command-line way is much, much more reliable. | 19:33 |

| jimmy51vinsky | contrast83: can it run an app like outlook and make it appear to be a window'd app within linux? | 19:35 |
| contrast83 | b3lt3r: Remove any packages you've installed from 3rd party repos first, comment out those repos in your sources.list, then from Konsole: sudo sed -e s/gutsy/hardy/ /etc/apt/souces.list --in-place && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 19:35 |
| contrast83 | jimmy51vinsky: Yeah. And it does a better job of it than VBox from the screenshot I've seen. One sec, I'll dig it up. | 19:35 |
| contrast83 | But from what I've heard, VMWare is a bit more hassle to set up than VBox | 19:36 |

| linuxwtf | Here's an even greater challenge: I've been playing with a dozen or so linux distros on a gateway laptop (600ygr). When I run them from the live disk or first install them, most of them only run the left channel of the sound card, an ess allegro 1988. Of the two that do run both channels, Mandriva Spring and Kubuntu 8.04, they resume to left-only as soon as I reboot. As a result, I've been reinstalling it every other day. | 19:39 |
| b3lt3r | has limitations compared to paid in that you can only have one snapshot as opposed to multiple, but hey for free :-) | 19:39 |
| Damenheth | The problem is, the drivers are installed (maybe) but I can't use bigger resolution than 800x600 | 19:39 |
| contrast83 | jimmy51vinsky: http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=8032 | 19:39 |

| contrast83 | jimmy51vinsky: Sorry :-\ | 19:41 |
| jimmy51vinsky | hehe | 19:41 |
| linuxwtf | yeah, I mostly get forums of people having similar, unsolved problems | 19:41 |
| b3lt3r | just read Wayne's vbox setup icluding bridged networking and trust me vmware's easy compared to that - it must be if I did it :-) | 19:42 |
| linuxwtf | when i restart in xp, both channels work fine | 19:42 |
| contrast83 | jimmy51vinsky: In short, Unity allows for full taskbar integration + composited effects, etc. for windows running from a VM. 99% seamless - they still have the titlebar their native OS draws for them. | 19:43 |
| jimmy51vinsky | ooooh, that sounds good. so i can alt-tab within xfce/kde and switch between windows apps and linux apps without a hitch? | 19:43 |
| contrast83 | jimmy51vinsky: Right | 19:43 |
| jimmy51vinsky | ok, point me at a link | 19:45 |
| jimmy51vinsky | i'll attack that like a rabid dog | 19:45 |
| contrast83 | linuxwtf: you might give a prior release a shot, compile your own kernel on the current release (not as hard as it's commonly made out to be), or just wait a few weeks for it to get fixed. i'd imagine someone's working on it, given 8.04 is a long-term support release (Canonical's bread and butter). | 19:45 |
| linuxwtf | Sadly, compile is my new word today. I live in XP Pro | 19:46 |
| Faust-C | uh whats the name of the pkg to install for flash and propriotary items | 19:46 |

| DexterF | had a most unusualy issue with 7.10 over the past few days: when I enter text in lets say OOo or Firefox, sometimes the entire graphics update locks. I can move the mouse pointer, but all apps stall. I can even ssh in from outside but no matter what I kill, the display stays stoned | 19:53 |
| b3lt3r | unity previwe in vnunet | 19:53 |
| b3lt3r | preview* | 19:53 |
| b3lt3r | stoopid keyboard :-) | 19:53 |
| contrast83 | DexterF: using compiz? | 19:54 |
| b3lt3r | as contrast83 said - it's workstation 6.5 - in beta now | 19:54 |
| linuxwtf | Dexterf, I'm convinced that the real purpose of this OS is to teach us how to deal with frustration while making us better internet researchers | 19:54 |
| DexterF | contrast83, did once but don't use it anymore | 19:54 |
| === wirechief is now known as wirechief1 | ||
| DexterF | linuxwtf: full ack. I'll get me a Mac as soon as I can afford it | 19:55 |
| jimmy51vinsky | DL'ing. thanks guys | 19:55 |
| contrast83 | pfft | 19:55 |
| linuxwtf | my uncle has a mac and i was amazed at how quickly it rebooted | 19:55 |
| contrast83 | DexterF: did top report anything useful when you ssh'd in? | 19:55 |
| contrast83 | if you don't mind being completely locked down ball and chain on a computer you paid a ridiculous price for, mac's are great. ;-) | 19:56 |
| DexterF | contrast83: actually it did: Xorg was hogging the cpu 99.6% | 19:56 |
| contrast83 | DexterF: which signal were you using with kill? | 19:56 |
| linuxwtf | yeah, my old pre-powermac was a crash a minute | 19:57 |
| DexterF | contrast83: tried both 15 and 9 | 19:57 |
| contrast83 | linuxwtf: i mean locked down in terms of what you're actually able to do on it. | 19:57 |
| linuxwtf | the Other DRM? | 19:58 |
| contrast83 | DexterF: strange indeed... sorry, i'm out of ideas :-\ | 19:58 |
| contrast83 | linuxwtf: drm, hardware upgrades, software configuration, etc. take your pick. :-) | 19:58 |
| DexterF | contrast83: even when I issied "shutdown" from ssh the screen stays like this until the machine fully rebooted and did an hardware init, hence I suspect an issue with the ati driver. the free one, before you ask. | 19:58 |
| DexterF | I guess I'll upgrade to 8.04 and see if it gets better | 19:59 |
| contrast83 | DexterF: worth a shot. just don't use the gui updater. ;-) | 19:59 |
| linuxwtf | Dex, I've tried both and i do like 8.04 better (and Mandriva spring) | 19:59 |
| DexterF | by the way: I have a copy of the 8.04 dvd, I guess mounting that and putting in in sources speeds thing up, eh? | 19:59 |
| contrast83 | linuxwtf: did your sound issue exist in gutsy? | 19:59 |
| DexterF | contrast83: har har gui updater har ;) | 19:59 |
| linuxwtf | yes | 19:59 |
| linuxwtf | and in Mint | 20:00 |
| contrast83 | mint's just ubuntu with non-free stuff added in ;-) | 20:00 |
| linuxwtf | yeah, i did like how the non-free stuff enabled me to view flash, java and pdf | 20:01 |
| linuxwtf | i'd have kept it except for the soundcard thing | 20:01 |
| contrast83 | sidux might be worth a look. you have to use the command line for updates and all package management though (of course, you can still use the gui for browsing packages) | 20:01 |
| contrast83 | linuxwtf: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 20:01 |
| Kiruwa2 | hmm... what pdf did you find that kpdf didn't work for? | 20:01 |
| contrast83 | that pulls in all the non-free stuff you need | 20:02 |
| linuxwtf | i forgot what it was in Mint - that was last week | 20:02 |
| contrast83 | but sidux's hardware detection is the best i've seen. picked everything up flawlessly across three systems with widely varying hardware | 20:02 |
| contrast83 | sidux also installs amazingly fast. < 10 minutes from boot to finish. ^_^ | 20:03 |

| wirechief1 | contrast83 i take it you really like sidux | 20:05 |
| === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak | ||
| contrast83 | jussi01: sorry, just tryin' to help linuxwtf - kubuntu's not really playing well with his hardware. | 20:05 |
| jussi01 | linuxwtf: whats the issue? | 20:05 |
| linuxwtf | would sudo apt...restricted extras enable its installer to find jre6? | 20:05 |
| contrast83 | wirechief1: it has its strengths, and given linuxwtf's circumstances, i think it'd be worth a look for him. | 20:05 |
| Seren__ | hi, I can't edit my kmenu even in root mode, this is an old issue | 20:05 |
| Seren__ | but is there any workaround ? | 20:05 |
| * contrast83 kindly shuts up about other distros | 20:06 | |
| wirechief1 | contrast83 so would kanotix, they are sisters ;) | 20:06 |
| contrast83 | wirechief1: i'd say distant cousins twice removed :-P | 20:06 |
| wirechief1 | contrast83 and more stable. does not require as much downloading to keep it fresh on and on | 20:07 |
| jussi01 | linuxwtf: if you do apt-cache show kubuntu-restricted-extras it will show you what is installing | 20:07 |
| contrast83 | wirechief1: one dist-upgrade a month is all that's really required with sidux | 20:07 |
| linuxwtf | coooool | 20:07 |
| jussi01 | Ok, Other distro talk -> #kubuntu-offtopic if you have a support query please ask. | 20:08 |
| Seren__ | is there a way to list the file which are going to be installed with a packet with an apt-foo command ? | 20:08 |
| contrast83 | wirechief1: you in there? | 20:08 |
| wirechief1 | contrast83 my only complaint with sidux is having to du all the time and keep all eyes open for bug reports. well now they have gone to 1.4gb downloads that too much for most | 20:08 |
| samba_kubuntu | bye | 20:08 |
| jussi01 | Seren__: files or dependencies? | 20:08 |
| llutz | Seren__: apt-file or dpkg -L package if package is installed | 20:08 |
| Seren__ | i want to know before hand if possible | 20:09 |
| Seren__ | ( files ) | 20:09 |
| contrast83 | Seren__: methinks apt-file | 20:09 |
| contrast83 | it's not installed by default, btw (sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update) | 20:09 |
| contrast83 | good chatting, y'all. life calls. peace out. | 20:10 |
| Seren__ | ok it keeps a cache of all the files | 20:10 |
| wirechief1 | contrast83 however i thnk you can buy the new .isos from them and a good way to support them ;) | 20:10 |
| Seren__ | thx | 20:10 |
| jco | hi, I just discovered that the -generic kernel of 8.04 is compiled without support for 4GB RAM, is there a desktop oriented image with that support in Ubuntu? | 20:10 |
| Edulix | hey please someone with kubuntu :P | 20:10 |
| Edulix | I'm trying to hunt a bug in konqueror | 20:11 |
| linuxwtf | speaking of konqueror bugs, is there a way to make it NOT the default browser in Kubuntu? | 20:11 |
| Edulix | someone with kubuntu installed can help me reproducing the bug in his computer? | 20:11 |
| Edulix | linuxwtf: kcontrol | 20:11 |
| jussi01 | linuxwtf: yes, system settings -> default programs | 20:11 |
| Edulix | ok, that too | 20:12 |
| linuxwtf | thaaaaaanks | 20:12 |
| linuxwtf | Firefox 2 just sat there when i told it to check if it were the default browser | 20:12 |
| wirechief1 | Edulix what bug | 20:12 |
| wirechief1 | !bugreport | 20:13 |
| ubottu | Factoid bugreport not found | 20:13 |
| Edulix | so what I need someone to do is: open konqueror, enter in ~, press ctrl+shift+l, enter in the second view to ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/Attic/2.2.2/src, and drag and drop some files to ~ | 20:13 |
| Edulix | and then answer: do you get multiple "copying" progress windows, or just one? | 20:13 |
| sigma | hey guys. i'm using gnome but amarok is awesome so i use that. problem is it uses its own fonts (presumably from KDE) and not the gnome ones i've set up. how can i fix that? | 20:14 |
| sigma | also i dont mean the stuff that's in appareance under "fconfigure amarok" i mean like the menu fonts | 20:15 |
| Edulix | wirechief1: ? | 20:15 |
| Edulix | wirechief1: did you try? note, I'm a konqueror developer xD | 20:15 |
| jussi01 | sigma: that would be a #ubuntu question -IIRC there is a thing in appearnce settings | 20:16 |
| jussi01 | Edulix: Im trying now | 20:16 |
| jussi01 | Edulix: curious, the ftp does not load for me... | 20:16 |
| sigma | jussi01: no one there seems to know either | 20:16 |
| Edulix | jussi01: enter to other place then :P | 20:17 |
| Seren__ | jco > the 64 bits version ? if you have a 64bits CPU of course | 20:17 |
| jussi01 | Edulix: does it need to be ftp? or will sftp do? | 20:17 |
| jco | Seren__: I don't like 64 bit versions, they're always less maintained than 32 bit ones :( | 20:17 |
| Edulix | jussi01: anything | 20:18 |
| Seren__ | jco > it is true but since more and more people got a 64 bits cpu | 20:18 |
| Seren__ | it will become more and more stable hopefully | 20:18 |
| jco | Seren__: it will... for sure, but now... | 20:18 |
| jussi01 | Edulix: got it working, just 1 | 20:18 |
| Edulix | jussi01: but do you do drag & drop twice? | 20:19 |
| jussi01 | Edulix: when dragging multiple files at once, I get 1. when dragging 2 sets of files then I get 2. | 20:20 |
| jussi01 | Edulix: this is konqueror 3.5.9 on kde 4 | 20:21 |
| jco | Seren__: anyway, do you know where ubuntu keeps the equivalent of /proc/config.gz? | 20:23 |
| Edulix | ok thanks it's all clear now =) | 20:23 |
| Seren__ | jco > sorry no idea | 20:23 |
| jussi01 | Edulix: ok :) Dont hesitate to ask/pm if you need more tests done. | 20:23 |
| Lupus-Angina | Good day my people | 20:24 |
| Lupus-Angina | Issue: Kubuntu Hardy won't close down, it's been happening for a while and I really want to go to bed! | 20:24 |
| Seren__ | Lupus-Angina: I think you can try CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart X | 20:26 |

| jussi01 | ctrl+alt+backspace ;) | 20:27 |
| billyd | Hello ;-) | 20:28 |
| billyd | Anyone know how to cope with a missing or changed su password in Konsole. It's in Kubuntu7.10 | 20:29 |
| trappist | billyd: su password? | 20:29 |
| billyd | yes | 20:29 |
| trappist | billyd: root doesn't have a password by default - you use sudo | 20:29 |
| billyd | super user | 20:29 |
| Seren__ | err.. right jussi01 sorry :) | 20:30 |
| tribaldata | xit | 20:30 |
| Lupus-Angina | Seren__: Yes, but I want it to be like it was back in the day... I used to go into K Menu and press log out, and then to shutdown... good days... | 20:30 |
| billyd | sudo works with dewfault password. su doesn'nt | 20:30 |
| jussi01 | !root | 20:30 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:30 |
| trappist | billyd: sudo works with the password for *your account*. su doesn't because that wants root's password, and root doesn't have a password. | 20:30 |
| Seren__ | Lupus-Angina: it used to work on my install, but since an update yesterday in hal I think it is broken too :/ | 20:30 |
| Lupus-Angina | No idea what HAL actually doe.s | 20:31 |
| Lupus-Angina | !hal | 20:31 |
| ubottu | For an informative description of the Hardware Abstraction Layer , go to this site : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer | 20:31 |
| Lupus-Angina | i r smrt | 20:31 |
| billyd | Everything worked 'til I upgraded to 7.10 on way to 8.04 | 20:31 |
| trappist | billyd: from your description, everything is behaving as designed | 20:31 |
| trappist | billyd: if you want to "become" root, say "sudo su -" | 20:32 |
| Lupus-Angina | sudo bash | 20:32 |
| jussi01 | sudo -i IMHO | 20:32 |
| Lupus-Angina | Also | 20:32 |
| trappist | or sudo -i... not sudo bash, though | 20:32 |
| Lupus-Angina | Yes it does. | 20:32 |
| billyd | OK | 20:32 |
| billyd | We were trying to go to a manula IP setting to avoind a crippled router where I was trying to upgrade to 8.04 | 20:33 |
| billyd | I've got the websites book marked | 20:34 |
| billyd | Tks trappist | 20:34 |
| jabba | trappist: no reason at all to say "sudo su -". just say "sudo -s" | 20:36 |
| jabba | and if you use zsh, it has a module (or a compile time option, I forget which) that allows you to retain sudo's logging | 20:37 |
| jabba | the whole reason we use sudo is to keep track of who did what so we can roll it back or find out when something broke. sudo su - completely defeats that purpose. | 20:37 |
| billyd | Gots to go. I'll go nuts if I stay inside any longer | 20:39 |
| will00 | whats the easiest way to block websites in linux? | 20:41 |
| tekteen | will00: for what purpose? | 20:44 |
| tekteen | will00: dansguardian is the best | 20:44 |
| jdavies | tekteen: I second that | 20:45 |
| will00 | iv built a kiosk and i need to lock down the computer | 20:45 |
| tekteen | will00: dansguardian | 20:45 |
| will00 | iv tried dansguardian, but when i enable it, it blocks everything | 20:45 |
| ccc4 | i want to download python on kubunto can sumbody help | 20:45 |
| ccc4 | me im ment to | 20:45 |
| tekteen | will00: I play pranks like editing /etc/hosts but it is not good for blocking | 20:45 |
| ccc4 | have it already | 20:46 |
| jdavies | ccc4: I comes installed by default, type: "python" at the terminal | 20:46 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| will00 | my idea is to block everything but the stores website, but i cant seem to whitelist it in dansguardian | 20:48 |
| ccc4 | terminl? | 20:48 |
| ccc4 | jdavies? terminal | 20:48 |
| jdavies | !konsole | ccc4 | 20:48 |
| ubottu | ccc4: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 20:48 |
| ccc4 | jdavies i goo on f2 then konsole comes up then i type console but it wont oppen | 20:50 |
| Seren__ | konsole is the name of the kde console | 20:50 |
| jdavies | ccc4: when konsole comes up type: "python" | 20:50 |
| ccc4 | i did but then it wont oppen | 20:51 |
| ccc4 | 4 some reason | 20:51 |
| PhilRod | will00: sounds like you might also be interested in kde's kiosk mode: http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase-runtime/userguide/locking-down-kde.html | 20:51 |
| will00 | i also tried that but it didnt lock down anything | 20:51 |
| jdavies | ccc4: click the K-Menu -> System and open it from there | 20:51 |
| tekteen | will00: you could setup squid | 20:51 |
| tekteen | will00: then send all data to your website | 20:51 |
| ccc4 | its not on there | 20:52 |
| ccc4 | thaths the point | 20:52 |
| PhilRod | will00: ok - it won't block websites, but might be useful more generally (since it sounds like you're trying to set up some kind of kiosk?) | 20:52 |
| will00 | thats exactly what im trying to do | 20:52 |
| jackault | Ok, I'm trying to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 with an alternate cd and got a strange error, I've taken a screenshot of it http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/1914/eror20uw3.png | 20:52 |
| tekteen | so google.com, kubuntu.org, ect points to your website | 20:52 |
| PhilRod | will00: I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the details, so I can't help further than pointing to docs, but IIRC that guide is fairly good | 20:52 |

| Neo_The_User | Is KDE the fastest GUI compared to xfce and gnome? | 21:02 |
| rambo3 | no | 21:02 |
| Neo_The_User | is KDE the most attractive GUI to your opinion? | 21:03 |

| tekteen | Neo_The_User: why would we use it? | 21:03 |
| Kiruwa2 | Neo_The_User: imnsho, KDE has a major advantage in a culture of "the user should be able to configure everything as they like it"... otherwise most of the differences come down to personal taste | 21:03 |

| Neo_The_User | should I use Kubuntu 8.04 remix? I am using Ubuntu. sorry if that is offensive. I never used Kubuntu. | 21:04 |

| tekteen | Neo_The_User: I do not suggest it | 21:05 |

| ubottu | Neo_The_User: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 21:05 |

| tekteen | jussi01: I will remember that trigger :-) | 21:05 |
| Pennycook | Neo_The_User: Your best bet, if you don't want to install the different operating systems, is to download their LiveCDs and give them a go. | 21:05 |
| SlimeyPete | Neo_The_User: I'd recommend using the non-remix edition first | 21:05 |
| Neo_The_User | why? | 21:05 |
| SlimeyPete | it is more stable and reliable | 21:05 |
| Neo_The_User | oh ok | 21:06 |
| Neo_The_User | but all I care about are graphics. | 21:06 |

| jackault | I'm trying to upgrade with the alternate cd | 21:09 |
| stdin | jackault: cancel it then click "fetch updates", that should fix it | 21:09 |

| _Angelus_ | did someone sudenly get 24updates today? or is it just me cause i added the winehq repo ? | 21:12 |
| stdin | foxhound31: you drag it from the applet window to where on the panel you want it | 21:12 |
| foxhound31 | ok why does it seem to appear by default on the right? | 21:13 |
| foxhound31 | curiosity | 21:13 |
| foxhound31 | question | 21:13 |
| Seren__ | Plummet: In system settings, keyboard and mouse, I think you have to uncheck "visual activation" or something | 21:13 |
| Seren__ | visual feedback on activation | 21:14 |
| stdin | foxhound31: because that would be the next available space on the panel, it's like a stack | 21:14 |
| Kiruwa2 | _Angelus_: I had about that... 20-something updates | 21:14 |
| _Angelus_ | oh ok | 21:14 |
| _Angelus_ | i tought it was the wine repo destroying things :p | 21:14 |
| foxhound31 | stdin thanks for that explanation tho it does make me worry that if its a stack it will always see something on the left and never allow me to place anything there | 21:16 |
| foxhound31 | hopefully not the case will experiment to see | 21:16 |

| Seren__ | #kubuntu-fr does not exist any more, it is redirected on ubuntu-fr | 21:22 |

| DavidTalbot | nabend | 21:26 |
| jackault | btw, shouldn't the upgrade know from the beginning that you won't have enough free space to do it? | 21:26 |
| DexterF | 1.5GB probably isn't enough free space to upgrade, I guess | 21:26 |
| jackault | It just went 20 minutes downloading things and making changes to realise it doesn't have enough space and quit | 21:26 |
| DavidTalbot | sry mean good evening | 21:26 |
| jackault | at the very least it should store what was downloaded somewhere so you wouldn't have to get it all over again | 21:26 |
| jackault | or how about just *waiting* and giving the user a chance to clear space? | 21:27 |

| jackault | Bandwidth limits. I got the alternate cd for a reason | 21:29 |
| DexterF | well, I hope not. that's why I asked above how to get the dvd into the sources.list. (apt-cdrom add it was) | 21:29 |

| jackault | ok, for the language but come on! I got this alt cd for a reason! Why does it need nearly an entire cd of downloads more now ? | 21:32 |
| Seren__ | the thing is that if only one line has changed in a package, you must redownload the whole package | 21:32 |
| Seren__ | the package system is not bandwidth friendly | 21:32 |
| jackault | argh | 21:33 |
| jackault | AND it forced me to do this because it can't recognize the signatures of kate and sudo and such | 21:33 |
| jackault | And shut the upgrade down because it thinks they're not vaild | 21:33 |
| jackault | This is inane. | 21:33 |
| DexterF | jackault: methinks you might be better off with a dvd | 21:34 |
| jackault | ok, to avoid downloading the cd twice I should get a dvd? | 21:34 |
| jackault | this is funny. one of the packages it needs to download is "friendly-recovery" | 21:35 |
| DexterF | jackault: well, don't have a friend with a fast connection where you can download a dvd image? | 21:35 |

| izzyb_ | I've managed to isolate my problem with getting xen's network-bridge script running in kubuntu hardy | 21:38 |
| DexterF | xtremejuice: ....something like that :P | 21:38 |
| jackaultbutnot | Oh this is NICE. It's using half my speed. | 21:39 |
| izzyb_ | turns out to be a conflict with the dhcdbd program | 21:39 |
| izzyb_ | seems it prevents the network bridge script from renaming the interface as needed because its busy | 21:39 |
| izzyb_ | I was able to get things working by using a static ip address instead, but even afterr that, having dhcdbd running caused problems | 21:40 |
| Plummet | how do i actually edit xorg.conf using terminal | 21:40 |
| izzyb_ | so, for others having issues with xen under kubuntu, disable dhcdbd and configure for static ip addrsses seems to do the trick | 21:40 |
| jackaultbutnot | nano xorg.conf ? | 21:40 |
| jackaultbutnot | or whatever terminal based editor you have | 21:41 |
| jackaultbutnot | oh wait | 21:41 |

| claydoh | sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 21:41 |

| izzyb_ | is dhcdbd unique to kubuntu?? | 21:41 |
| xtremejuice | i still have no idea how to do what you are saying | 21:41 |

| Plummet | nosrednaekim: what is it supposed to look like? | 22:08 |
| jimmy51athome | instead of a phone call, email, or written notice, they shut off the gas, charge $58 reconnect fee, $150 penalty, and won't turn it back on unless i'm home (between the hours of 10 am to 5 pm) on a weekday. now i've got to pay the extra 208 bucks, miss a day of work (and pay), and have no hot water or stove for two days. | 22:09 |

| Plummet | i have no freaking idea how to do linux :P | 22:14 |
| nosrednaekim | Plummet: when you tried to edit it... did you do "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf"? | 22:14 |
| DexterF | NikRoberts: well, quick and dirty but you could reconf the login manager from within kde to use smaller fonts. I got a similar issue here, wrong resolution, but hey, its only for the login... | 22:15 |
| Plummet | nosrednaekim: yes, and then i see a blank terminal and dont know how to proceed | 22:15 |
| DexterF | aaroncampbell: I'm stuck with ati. guess it's a config option in xorg.conf, but no clue which for nV | 22:15 |

| Plummet | nosrednaekim: my monitor display moves about 1/8" to the right moving to linux from windows | 22:16 |

| nosrednaekim | Plummet: yeah... actually, that does, but its gonna be a ton more work than its worth (trust me) | 22:21 |
| xtremejuice | ok | 22:21 |
| xtremejuice | where are the host files? | 22:21 |
| Plummet | nosrednaekim: im willing if you are :) | 22:22 |
| DexterF | NikRoberts: this might work... enter display size info in xorg.conf manually, so X will calc dpi from that. read man 5 xorg.conf on where and how. | 22:22 |
| nosrednaekim | Plummet: ok then, let me find something | 22:22 |
| xtremejuice | kiruwa2 where are the host files? | 22:22 |
| Kiruwa2 | xtremejuice: looking at the man page, I'm not sure it will do what you want... I was thinking you could specify a range of IP addresses in it (/etc/hosts) | 22:23 |
| Kiruwa2 | xtremejuice: take a look at "man hosts" | 22:23 |
| Kiruwa2 | xtremejuice: or "man:hosts" in konqueror | 22:23 |
| xtremejuice | and that would block anything that isnt that partiular ip? | 22:24 |

| Walzmyn | nosrednaekim, the other half of my problems is if i try to login with a user other than my primary here, i get an error where KDE fails to load in, and then my screen turns a bunch of colored bars and I have to hold the power button in for 10sec | 22:50 |
| Zoohouse | nosrednaekim, ok let me log in kde 4 now hold pls | 22:50 |

| Plummet | nosrednaekim: thanks very much for dealing with such a noob | 22:53 |
| Simonft | never mind | 22:53 |
| Zoohouse | nosrednaekim, What was the command? | 22:53 |
| Simonft | found it | 22:54 |

| kris_ | but it lags as hell | 23:00 |
| kris_ | firefox is loading like 2 min | 23:00 |

| DexterF | Fujisan: no it didn't. privoxy won't help xtreme_juice with his issue | 23:16 |
| DexterF | you asked about web site filtering and thats what it does | 23:16 |
| Fujisan | hahaha | 23:16 |
| Fujisan | well i tried | 23:17 |
| Fujisan | :( | 23:17 |
| Fujisan | sorry xtreme_juice in have failed u | 23:17 |
| xtreme_juice | thats actually pretty accurate, im trying to fiter everything BUT the company website | 23:17 |
| xtreme_juice | what i really need is something that i can whitelist | 23:18 |
| intelikey | xtreme_juice iptables | 23:18 |
| DexterF | xtreme_juice: have a local proxy fetch only that site somehow and only allow browsers to use that proxy...? | 23:18 |
| xtreme_juice | and how would i go about doing that | 23:19 |
| Fujisan | "somehow" DexterF? | 23:19 |
| DexterF | I don't have the slightest clue :) | 23:19 |
| Fujisan | is that some sort of magic chant for automagic DexterF? | 23:19 |
| xtreme_juice | iv tried dansguardian and that allowed everything EXCEPT the company site | 23:19 |
| DexterF | heck yes! stfw and rtfm! | 23:20 |
| xtreme_juice | ? i put the website in the whitelist not the blacklist | 23:20 |
| xtreme_juice | it was properly configured | 23:20 |
| DexterF | that was to fuji | 23:21 |
| xtreme_juice | ah | 23:21 |
| DexterF | well, outta ideas. seriously, I'd find me a proxy that can hanlde regular expressions | 23:21 |
| xtreme_juice | any recomendations? | 23:21 |
| DexterF | not really. | 23:21 |
| intelikey | xtreme_juice iptables make a few rules, drop all, accept established, accept ip_you_want all | 23:22 |
| DexterF | unless /etc/hosts can handle regexps... tho I doubt it. probably rather a question for someone who knows proxies | 23:22 |
| Signil | where can u find the kubuntu irc logs (online)? | 23:22 |

| xtreme_juice | intelikely, im not familiar with iptable | 23:23 |
| intelikey | why will he have external dns requests ? but you can include the dns server in the accept rule. | 23:23 |
| DexterF | xtreme_juice: get familiar with it. the idea is good. | 23:23 |
| Fujisan | DexterF not if you "somehow" make it not block dns | 23:23 |
| Fujisan | wow i am a natural at kubuntu support :P | 23:24 |
| Fujisan | i learned from the best magician DexterF | 23:24 |
| DexterF | Fujisan: dude, are you high..? | 23:24 |
| NickPresta | If you aren't up for learning the intricasies and such of IP tables, I suggest you get familiar with a frontend for it, perhaps KMyFirewall, and learn how to use that (and look at the resulting code to understand what you're doing) | 23:24 |
| Fujisan | I am "somehow" not high but just really clever :) | 23:24 |
| DexterF | Fujisan: right now you're a chattering j/a going to my ignore list :) | 23:25 |
| Fujisan | farewell live long and prosper DexterF | 23:25 |
| xtreme_juice | im using kmyfirewall now, and its soething i can understand | 23:25 |
| intelikey | xtreme_juice there are docs on the web the iptables man page is on your linux system and there is an #iptables channel iirc. they can tell a beginner what docs to look at, there are a few good network admins in ##linux most of the time. | 23:26 |
| NickPresta | xtreme_juice, then I wouldn't worry about it. You can slowly learn how to interface directly with iptables at your lesuire but KMyFirewall is fine if you want to use it | 23:26 |
| _ZeuZ_ | I have a problem in kubuntu, it's related to the power managment system, confirmed using KDE without it produced no problem, and when the system boots, it seems to recognize the system as if the lid was closed, and it hence, for the configuration I set, shut it down... how can I reconfigure it from the ttys? | 23:27 |
| xtreme_juice | ok i just have to have this done by tomm | 23:27 |
| * intelikey hopes that "kmyfirewall" is better than firestarter/guraddog ... | 23:27 | |
| * Fujisan is high on the love and communion in this channel | 23:27 | |
| NickPresta | intelikey, it is better, although not by much. It has an 'advanced' interface, which is what I use most of the time. :) | 23:28 |
| intelikey | NickPresta k. | 23:28 |
| * flaccid wishes iptables was better in the syntax | 23:28 | |
| Fujisan | we are all family here | 23:28 |
| Fujisan | let do a grouphug | 23:29 |
| intelikey | flaccid dito | 23:29 |
| Fujisan | i am up for it | 23:29 |
| raket | hey people, I was trying to upgrade my KDE v3.5.9 to 4.0.3 but after the restart it seems that I am still using the old one | 23:29 |
| nosrednaekim | hey intelikey haven't seen you in a while | 23:29 |
| NickPresta | iptables is fairly self explanitory for simple things, but for complex stuff, I can get confused at times. maybe it is just me | 23:29 |
| flaccid | intelikey: i use freebsd and ipfw is very nice syntax. iptables is just confusing heh | 23:29 |
| nosrednaekim | raket: in the login manager, there is an option to switch to kde4 | 23:29 |
| NickPresta | raket, did you select KDE 4.0.3 from the login manager | 23:29 |
| raket | I didn't see the option | 23:29 |
| intelikey | nosrednaekim i've been around but not much at this hour | 23:29 |
| nosrednaekim | ah | 23:30 |
| raket | I'll try to log off, and see what can I do | 23:30 |
| Fujisan | the confusion makes iptables secure its like the same reason osx is so secure also | 23:30 |
| flaccid | confusion = security. hmm weird | 23:30 |
| NickPresta | Fujisan, I fail to see how security through obscurity makes sense, but okay | 23:30 |
| _ZeuZ_ | I have a problem in kubuntu, it's related to the power managment system, confirmed using KDE without it produced no problem, and when the system boots, it seems to recognize the system as if the lid was closed, and it hence, for the configuration I set, shut it down... how can I reconfigure it from the ttys? or from recovery reconfig it? | 23:31 |
| Fujisan | NickPresta ask the IRS why tax judges dont even understand the taxlaws | 23:31 |
| intelikey | NickPresta it's like hidding from the police in a large croud... </shrugs> | 23:31 |
| flaccid | _ZeuZ_: nntr | 23:31 |
| _ZeuZ_ | nntr? | 23:32 |
| flaccid | no need to repeat | 23:32 |
| _ZeuZ_ | it's not the same message(not at the end) | 23:32 |
| Fujisan | _ZeuZ_ how is Hera doing? | 23:32 |
| raket | thanks for the hint everyone! :) | 23:32 |
| Fujisan | she hasnt returned my calls | 23:33 |
| _ZeuZ_ | Hera? | 23:33 |
| NickPresta | _ZeuZ_, have you tried to disable power management as a workaround so you can get to your Desktop and such? | 23:33 |
| intelikey | _ZeuZ_ it's a DE start. you'll have to change xinit or the DE specific startup scripts. don't know which. | 23:33 |
| Fujisan | Hera, the Greek goddess called the Queen of Heaven | 23:33 |
| _ZeuZ_ | Nickpresta, how-to? | 23:33 |
| raket | I have a question though, should I remove kde3? | 23:33 |
| intelikey | _ZeuZ_ that's the Q i was answering. | 23:33 |
| NickPresta | _ZeuZ_, as intelikey said, it is a startup script, most likely. | 23:33 |
| NickPresta | I would imagine if you can get to your desktop via recovery startup, you should be able to go into KControl or something similar and disable it. | 23:34 |
| _ZeuZ_ | intelikey, Also, its for sure not, or run kdm from root login in the rescue shell does not run it.. but it does not run network manager, nor knetwork manager, and I have software dependant on it | 23:34 |
| flaccid | raket: why? | 23:34 |
| Fujisan | raket get a mac | 23:34 |
| raket | flaccid: because I won't use it?! | 23:35 |
| raket | why do you ask? | 23:35 |
| flaccid | then why use kubuntu? | 23:35 |
| _ZeuZ_ | raket: you haven't... and keeping libraries there will help you run kde3 native apps | 23:35 |
| intelikey | "<_ZeuZ_> intelikey, Also, its for sure not," lost me. ? | 23:35 |
| NickPresta | raket, I would probably keep KDE 3.5.9 in the event 4.0.3 breaks on you or something like that. | 23:35 |
| nosrednaekim | raket: no... you shouldn't... unless you really need the disk space (about 1 GB) | 23:35 |
| _ZeuZ_ | intelikey, starting it from root at the recovery console, does not start it, so it's notin the x system scripts | 23:35 |
| intelikey | _ZeuZ_ heh. flawed logic. but ok. | 23:36 |
| raket | I see, so kde3 needs to be there because other apps might depend on it? | 23:36 |
| _ZeuZ_ | It uses the default files, and there;s nothing in .kde/Autostart so | 23:36 |
| _ZeuZ_ | raket, might, as you said... | 23:37 |
| _ZeuZ_ | there's no performance leak in leaving it there so, I don't see a reason why not to keep it | 23:37 |
| raket | alright, I'll test drive kde4 for awhile and then I'll decide what to do | 23:37 |
| flaccid | raket: just to let you know kde4 is missing a lot and has some nice bugs | 23:38 |
| _ZeuZ_ | flaccid, that's damn right | 23:38 |
| intelikey | _ZeuZ_ i think that's what i said. it is DE specific. the desktop environment starts it with an xinit call most likely. and you'll have to find the script that is starting it, if you want to disable it from the console. | 23:38 |
| raket | right-o! | 23:38 |
| _ZeuZ_ | xinit call? if so, it would also start from root tty and it doesnt | 23:39 |
| flaccid | _ZeuZ_: yeah im back on kde3 because of it | 23:39 |
| intelikey | _ZeuZ_ wrong. | 23:39 |
| * flaccid is waiting for kde 4.2 | 23:39 | |
| intelikey | _ZeuZ_ init != xinit | 23:39 |
| _ZeuZ_ | then dpkg-reconfigure xinit ? | 23:40 |
| vLdSS | anyone knowa good system-wide mouse gesture program for KDE? | 23:40 |
| intelikey | that's the first of the major misassumptions the second is that failsafe/root_tty_login will run everything that normal login would... | 23:40 |
| _ZeuZ_ | i know | 23:41 |
| _ZeuZ_ | it sets as what it is in /root/.kde and so | 23:41 |
| === kewark is now known as krawek | ||
| intelikey | _ZeuZ_ no. not reconfig xinit. that would change nothing. find the /etc/kde*/blah that is calling apm and alter it. | 23:42 |
| flaccid | is there a kmyfirewall tutorial or anything anywhere? | 23:42 |
| intelikey | could be in /etc/defaults/ too | 23:42 |
| _ZeuZ_ | APM is not the problem, the problem is the damned applet | 23:42 |
| intelikey | and could be in /usr/lib/kde*/something.... | 23:42 |
| _ZeuZ_ | APM is not the problem, the problem is the damned applet | 23:42 |
| _ZeuZ_ | xD | 23:42 |
| _ZeuZ_ | Repeating because the problem is not APM but how that crappy piece of code deals with the misconfiguration it has from the lid open/closed state | 23:43 |
| _ZeuZ_ | that's why I asked how to reconfigure that script | 23:43 |
| intelikey | and could be in /usr/lib/kde*/something.... | 23:43 |
| _ZeuZ_ | As far as I know, its python so it should be holding it in a .conf or so file.. | 23:44 |
| _ZeuZ_ | and it's not, I checked /usr/lib/kde* | 23:44 |
| _ZeuZ_ | I cant even start it from the recovery mode | 23:44 |
| nosrednaekim | _ZeuZ_: .kde/share/config/power-managerrc | 23:45 |
| _ZeuZ_ | is that the ubutus script or the default one that comes with KDE? Becauser the troublesome is the ubuntus one | 23:45 |
| intelikey | nosrednaekim ummm yeah he can probably turn it off there. | 23:46 |
| nosrednaekim | thats the one that comes with kubuntu | 23:46 |
| nosrednaekim | guidance-power-manager | 23:46 |
| _ZeuZ_ | guidance-power-manager, so there I can reconfigure it, right? | 23:46 |
| raket | one more question people, how can I hide duplicate applications in kde4 that run under kde3? uninstall them!? | 23:47 |
| intelikey | raket or kmenuedit ? | 23:47 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as Maska | ||
| nosrednaekim | _ZeuZ_: if you can actually get into KDE yes, other wise edit that file (or erase it) | 23:48 |
| _ZeuZ_ | ok, reconfigured it there, going back to a normal boot to check | 23:48 |
| _ZeuZ_ | gonna report back in a minute | 23:48 |
| * intelikey can't imagine eracing anything in ~./.kde helping with that.... but who know. | 23:49 | |
| * _ZeuZ_ Regrets having installed Hardy to his mom, he should have stayd with Lenny | 23:49 | |
| nosrednaekim | true..... that would be an after-login issue | 23:49 |
| raket | intelikey: kmenuedit?! | 23:50 |
| _ZeuZ_ | nosrednaekim, worked, lovely! Thanks! | 23:50 |
| nosrednaekim | heh | 23:50 |
| nosrednaekim | cool | 23:50 |
| _ZeuZ_ | just turned it back to nothing from the text editor... | 23:50 |
| * intelikey scrolls up to try to make sense of all that now. | 23:51 | |
| _ZeuZ_ | After all, he was the one who could directly tell mehow to reconfigure it... props for him | 23:51 |
| nosrednaekim | raket: yes | 23:52 |
| raket | what do you mean? | 23:52 |
| raket | found it! very nice :) | 23:54 |
| intelikey | communication skills are uncommon amongst those that know a little about linux. (/me should know, no one can understand him either) at least the new converts all call the root fs c: and we can translate that... \; | 23:57 |
| nosrednaekim | :) | 23:58 |
| _ZeuZ_ | Those are Windows users... | 23:59 |
| _ZeuZ_ | At least they should know what reiserFS is | 23:59 |
| DexterF | ah fsck it | 23:59 |
| flaccid | why should a normal user know abut reiserfs ? | 23:59 |
| intelikey | why should they ? | 23:59 |
