| hi | #kubuntu-es for clickability | 00:00 |
| fitoria | i in there :P | 00:00 |
| bleaked | I just want to share with everyone that after the last week of updates from the hardy-proposed and hardy-backports repos, my installation of kubuntu 8.04 works with no visible flaws, bugs, or problems. (and this is an older custom-built pc, with a troublesome ATI card, and running full desktop effects) -- So I just want to sincerely thank everyone for all of their efforts, be it large or small, on this project. | 00:01 |
| v6lur | bleaked: then pray that following updates don't break anything ;) | 00:03 |
| bleaked | indeed :D | 00:03 |
| v6lur | as happened on my old (and crappy) laptop | 00:03 |
| hi | bleaked: expect regressions :P no seriously, that's very gracious of you and i'm sure it's appreciated by anyone reading that who's helped out. | 00:04 |
| bdizzle | how often do updates come out? | 00:05 |
| jussi01 | does anyone know where I could get an equivalent of obsidian coast kde4 colour scheme, but for kde3 ? | 00:05 |
| bleaked | bdizzle: depends.. i have the above mentioned repositories enabled, which both tend to have daily updates.. | 00:06 |
| bdizzle | Robeson08 | 00:06 |
| bdizzle | gah, wrong thing | 00:06 |
| bdizzle | at least the good thing is that Ubuntu doesn't nag and force you to update your computer | 00:07 |
| bdizzle | its just a nice little icon in the corner | 00:07 |
| wesley | !adeptfix | 00:07 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 00:07 |
| grout | how do i enable wobbly windows and stuff in kubuntu kde4? | 00:08 |
| bdizzle | don't know how in KDE4, but wouldn't it be the same in KDE3? | 00:09 |
| bdizzle | of selecting advance desktop effects and go from there? | 00:09 |
| grout | is it in system settings? | 00:09 |
| bdizzle | if you have the advanced desktop effects in, it would be under K-Menu -> Settings | 00:10 |
| bdizzle | and then make sure that under desktop effects - K-menu -> System, that it is set to custom | 00:10 |
| bdizzle | oh, and does anyone know an equivalent program to Dev C++ and Origin? | 00:13 |
| hi | grout: install desktop-effects-kde | 00:20 |
| hi | it has one-click setup options that rock my world | 00:20 |
| hi | advanced desktop effects is pretty buggy imho still | 00:21 |
| bdizzle | true | 00:21 |
| bdizzle | I still can't figure out how to get the cube to work | 00:21 |
| hi | though needed for settings, it's just a tad overwhelming for new folks | 00:21 |
| hi | bdizzle: install the above, but also simple-ccsm | 00:22 |

| * hi is a compiz fiend | 00:22 | |
| redshadowhero | Okay, I'm having trouble installing a program.. can someone help me? | 00:23 |
| hi | redshadowhero: maybe, details? | 00:23 |
| redshadowhero | Its a cisco VPN client for the user of this computer. | 00:23 |
| hi | ah | 00:23 |
| redshadowhero | Yeah.. | 00:23 |
| redshadowhero | It has a shell script that comes with it called "vpn_install", but it gives errors when I execute it. | 00:24 |
| bdizzle | so to get the cube, I want 4 desktop columns and 1 row, or 4 rows and 1 column? | 00:25 |
| hi | 1 row, 4 columns | 00:25 |
| hi | good question | 00:25 |
| hi | for the panel mode, i had to set 2row, 2 columns before it would work which through me for a loop at first. i hope that bug is fixed soon... deters folks | 00:26 |
| redshadowhero | Oh, and here is the errors that come with the installation: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11034/ | 00:26 |
| bdizzle | what is error SIGSERV? | 00:27 |
| bdizzle | sorry, SIGSEGV | 00:28 |
| hi | ah, SIGSEGV is a segmentation fault. | 00:28 |
| bdizzle | i get those frequently | 00:28 |
| hi | that shouldn't ever happen | 00:28 |
| hi | that said, it does :) | 00:28 |
| redshadowhero | So... nobody has any ideas here? | 00:30 |
| hi | it's not really a kubuntu issue, and i personally dislike cisco's vpn so i'm not inclined to google those errors for you since i have no clue. maybe someone else will see that, but you'd have better luck approaching cisco support | 00:34 |
| hi | they'd (hopefullly) know why their product is segfaulting on you | 00:34 |
| bdizzle | usually I get SIGSEGV on Kicker somehow | 00:35 |
| hi | dbizzle: ditto | 00:35 |
| redshadowhero | I know it isn't a kubuntu issue, but I was hoping that someone could help me. | 00:36 |
| stdin | redshadowhero: tell them to update their software? it's out of date | 00:36 |
| bdizzle | which is frustrating, since it won't reload my icons next to the clock, which is kinda needed for laptop battery and such | 00:36 |
| redshadowhero | Like it or not, its what NASA gives us for the linux VPN client | 00:36 |
| hi | redshadowhero: yeah, i know you know that, i'm just sorry i can't help and was advising other avenues | 00:36 |
| hi | lol, seriously!? | 00:36 |
| redshadowhero | Yup. Its the nasa client. As to the version.. we rarely pick up the client updates for linux. | 00:37 |
| hi | what's with every large organization using this thing!? an uname insurance company i did work for a few weeks ago has this on everyone's computers... it's always been buggy | 00:37 |
| redshadowhero | I suppose I could ask my boss to check on that. | 00:37 |
| hi | *unnamed | 00:37 |
| redshadowhero | Eh.. I don't care as long as it works for me. | 00:37 |
| bdizzle | does anyone else know of a program to replace and or be compatible with Origin? I've tried LabPlot, but the files for the newest version aren't in the repositories at all, which surprises me | 00:38 |
| stdin | redshadowhero: try "sudo touch /use/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include/linux/config.h" and edit /home/vellakd/Desktop/VPN/vpnclient/GenDefs.h to remove the struct uintptr_t | 00:38 |

| redshadowhero | :P | 00:42 |
| redshadowhero | I saw that. | 00:42 |
| redshadowhero | But I'll get the headers just in case. | 00:42 |
| stdin | it's 00:42, I'm aloud a typo :) | 00:42 |
| redshadowhero | I have the latest headers already, and changing it to usr fixed that. | 00:43 |

| * hi finds the GUI in kwrite more intuitive | 00:46 | |
| bdizzle | vi? | 00:46 |
| mike-kubuntu | hey, during boot up it keeps taking me to tty1 after the initial section of a bouncing back and forth blue bar instead of a bootup bar, then it takes me into kdm and there are no warnings printed, only tips i've found in the forums is that someone else claimed it started when they installed kde4, but removing kde4 didn't make it go away | 00:46 |
| bdizzle | I just use Kate instead to edit files as root | 00:46 |
| redshadowhero | Eh.. nevermind then. I'll just search for the struct in question. | 00:47 |
| stdin | redshadowhero: may also be a typedef | 00:47 |

| stdin | Jes___Wy__: public channel, click where ever you like :) | 00:57 |
| Jes___Wy__ | ehnahe ha | 00:57 |
| stdin | redshadowhero: that's just down to it being out of date, unless you know C and are willing to rewrite the app, you're stuck | 00:57 |
| redshadowhero | stdin: I kinda figured as much when it started popping out errors. I'll just request to my boss that we get the latest version, because he has access to the cisco site for this sort of thing, not me. | 00:58 |
| redshadowhero | stdin: but, thank you anyway for your time. | 00:59 |

| hi | is there a set of larger cursor icons available for kubuntu? | 01:02 |
| hi | i have a 1920x1200x17" laptop and the defaults are microscopic | 01:02 |
| redshadowhero | Oh, and another question (more for me than anything else) | 01:03 |
| redshadowhero | How hard is it to make an active directory server that allows windows xp, kubuntu 8.04 and macs to join it? | 01:03 |
| redshadowhero | Oh, and the AD server would be running ubuntu server. | 01:03 |
| stdin | hi: check the repos, or try kde-look.org | 01:05 |
| stdin | redshadowhero: honestly, no clue. I've managed to steer clear of active directory so far and I plan on keeping it that way ;) | 01:06 |
| hi | ah, so i'd just download larger images then basically it sounds like. just wanted to make sure i wasn't re-inventing the wheel if there was a setting i missed. | 01:06 |
| * hi checks repos | 01:06 | |
| redshadowhero | Oh.. well, I want to put a server in the house here that would allow those types of computers (each person prefers a different OS in this house) to be connected to it, and have the printer managed by that server... what do your reccommend? | 01:07 |
| hi | not sure i follow, but all the operatings systems support IP printing | 01:09 |
| hi | and if by server, you mean ftp, smb or ssh / fish then... i don't see an AD need | 01:09 |
| DFlame | spam guide! http://two.xthost.info/DFUGTIRC/DFSUGTIRC.pdf | 01:10 |
| hi | i'm in the same boat as stdin on AD experience | 01:10 |
| stdin | I use cups to share my printer will the systems in my house | 01:10 |
| hi | ditto here | 01:10 |
| hi | os-x uses that fine | 01:10 |
| redshadowhero | I wanted to do AD because it would give me more in-depth experience with AD to demonstrate that they can trust me more with the AD server at work. | 01:10 |
| hi | windows is banned in my house though :) | 01:10 |
| stdin | DFlame: what? | 01:10 |
| redshadowhero | hi: I would have it that way, but people are stubborn :/ | 01:11 |
| stdin | windows works with cups too, just uses http instead of ipp | 01:11 |

| frederick | anyone had anyluck setting up elisa with samba files sharing?? | 01:13 |
| hi | stdin: about cursors, the kde cursors aren't scalable ala gnome. the repos show things like "This package contains the DMZ cursor themes, which are derived from the Industrial theme developed for the Ximian GNOME desktop. Black and white cursors are provided, in scalable formats." | 01:13 |
| hi | is this right, or am i missing something? | 01:13 |
| redshadowhero | Oh, well.. darn. I have to go take someone to the hospital now.. >,> | 01:13 |
| frederick | tried the config files like smb://mybookworld/medias/ but elisa keeps getting stalled | 01:13 |
| stdin | hi: I've never tried to scale the cursor, so not sure. but there are specific "large" themes available so maybe, maybe not :p | 01:15 |
| hi | yeah, at 14mb i had to pause. then i realised, for instance, the oxygen-cursor-theme-extra is actually just different colors. amazingly they aren't svg or something | 01:16 |

| o0Chris0o | or su | 01:27 |
| stdin | sudo chown user: /where/it's/mounted | 01:28 |

| Mimi | ok, and then say my brother logs in and he needs to use the drive, can he write to it too? | 01:28 |
| stdin | nope, not unless you "sudo chmod 777" too, then anyone can write | 01:29 |
| Mimi | Is that ok to do ? | 01:29 |
| Mimi | Thanks btw | 01:30 |
| stdin | depends what you mean by "ok" | 01:30 |
| Mimi | security risk, etc | 01:30 |
| stdin | what security risk are you thinking of? | 01:30 |
| stdin | it's not like you're chmod'ing the root partition, it's just external storage | 01:31 |
| Mimi | Alright :) | 01:31 |
| Mimi | Thank you :-) | 01:32 |
| stdin | the only alternative would be to create a new group and add all the users you want to be able to write to that group and then set the group of the device to that group | 01:32 |
| * Mimi reboots | 01:32 | |
| stdin | but that can be overkill for most people | 01:32 |

| Haemogoblin2 | i'm trying to follow the guides, but a human voice of input/guidance would sure help a great deal :) | 02:05 |
| Mimi | Mmm I don't | 02:07 |
| * Dr_willis totally missed the problem | 02:08 | |
| Haemogoblin2 | kubuntu seems to have found my wifi card and says it's enabled..however in setting i've noticed there are no options for WEP/WEP2 ect | 02:08 |
| Mimi | Ooh | 02:08 |
| Haemogoblin2 | i've been unable to successfully connect to the router.. | 02:08 |
| Haemogoblin2 | soo i'm using the very hap hazard internal ethernet port..which the cable keeps slipping out of :S | 02:09 |
| Dr_willis | break that little tab off the end eh? | 02:09 |
| Haemogoblin2 | hehe how did you guess | 02:09 |
| Haemogoblin2 | :P | 02:09 |
| Dr_willis | Rubberbands and one of those stick on hooks. does wonders. :) | 02:10 |
| Haemogoblin2 | Stop looking through my window | 02:10 |
| * Mimi does it all the time >.< I R BE CLUMSY | 02:10 | |
| Haemogoblin2 | hehe | 02:10 |
| Dr_willis | I alwyas have some of those plastick sticky hook/cable holders on the back of all my pc's to help route the cables. | 02:11 |
| Haemogoblin2 | i was hoping i could trouble someone to just give me a quick run through the process of setting wifi up and kubuntu.. | 02:11 |
| Haemogoblin2 | i'm pretty good under XP and osx | 02:11 |
| Dr_willis | All i did was install the proper driver for my wireless ard. clicked on the icon in the system tray and entered my ssid and password. | 02:11 |
| Dr_willis | Some drivers/cards may not have all the different encryption types availiable perhaps? | 02:12 |
| Haemogoblin2 | but there's no WEP security feature in the setup window | 02:12 |
| Haemogoblin2 | right | 02:12 |
| Dr_willis | wep? isent that like the MOST insecure one? | 02:12 |
| Haemogoblin2 | we use WEP2 | 02:12 |
| Dr_willis | perthaps the wireless guide will have some info | 02:13 |
| Dr_willis | !wireless | 02:13 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 02:13 |
| Haemogoblin2 | right | 02:13 |
| Haemogoblin2 | well | 02:13 |
| Haemogoblin2 | the reason i came on here..was i researched my card | 02:13 |
| Haemogoblin2 | it took me to linuxquestions.org | 02:13 |
| Haemogoblin2 | http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/3com-office-connect-3crwe154g72-387024/ | 02:13 |
| Haemogoblin2 | i found the above info on the site.. | 02:14 |
| Dr_willis | a lot of those guides may be out of date. Now that Hardy is released. Its using some newer drivers/features for wireless. | 02:14 |
| Haemogoblin2 | but...they are talking about having trouble with drivers and using commands i have no clue about | 02:14 |
| Dr_willis | It would be best to stick with the ubuntu/kubuntu specific guides. | 02:14 |
| Haemogoblin2 | i should point out i've no linux knowledge...but i'm really wanting to give it a try.. | 02:15 |
| Haemogoblin2 | it looks really good | 02:15 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had any experience using Super Flasher under wine. | 02:15 |
| Haemogoblin2 | :D | 02:15 |
| Mimi | yeah he's only been using linux for ONE hour... :D give him some tips (unfortunately i dont use kde, i use gnome so... ) | 02:15 |
| Haemogoblin2 | hey any tips would be very much appreciated | 02:15 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Haemogoblin2, what issues are you facing? | 02:16 |
| [B5C]wallabee | anyone using a acer travelmate 4000 ? | 02:16 |
| OmnipotentEntity | None thus far? | 02:16 |
| Haemogoblin2 | just the wireless | 02:16 |
| Haemogoblin2 | thats it | 02:16 |
| Mimi | <Haemogoblin2> but there's no WEP security feature in the setup window | 02:16 |
| Haemogoblin2 | soo i'm doing pretty good | 02:16 |
| OmnipotentEntity | x86 or x64? | 02:16 |
| Haemogoblin2 | 86 | 02:16 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Do you have kwifimanager installed? | 02:16 |
| Haemogoblin2 | erm | 02:16 |
| OmnipotentEntity | I'll take that as an iunno. | 02:17 |
| Mimi | Just run that in a terminal window to find out ^_^ | 02:17 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Alt+F2 will bring up your run box. | 02:17 |
| OmnipotentEntity | You can try there as well. | 02:17 |
| Haemogoblin2 | nope it's not installed | 02:18 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Try knetworkmanager | 02:18 |
| v6lur | knetworkmanager should be installed & running by default | 02:18 |
| OmnipotentEntity | I know. | 02:18 |
| OmnipotentEntity | :) | 02:18 |
| jmichaelx | is anyone else having firefox/swiftfox continually jamming up or locking up on them in hardy? | 02:18 |
| Haemogoblin2 | erm | 02:18 |
| Haemogoblin2 | well | 02:19 |
| v6lur | but that linuxquestions thingy mentions ndiswrapper | 02:19 |
| Haemogoblin2 | it did something | 02:19 |
| Haemogoblin2 | but nothings popped up | 02:19 |
| v6lur | which is not installed by default, agaik | 02:19 |
| Haemogoblin2 | but it definately loaded something | 02:19 |
| OmnipotentEntity | check by your clock in your systemtray | 02:19 |
| OmnipotentEntity | There should be an icon that you can right-click on. | 02:19 |
| Haemogoblin2 | hep | 02:19 |
| v6lur | jmichaelx, no (Fx beta 5) | 02:19 |
| Haemogoblin2 | i mean yep | 02:19 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Looks like a white popsicle kinda. | 02:19 |
| Haemogoblin2 | a little usbpen icon | 02:19 |
| Haemogoblin2 | it's there | 02:20 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Right click and see what you can do in there. ;) | 02:20 |
| Haemogoblin2 | presently showing my internal ethernet connection | 02:20 |
| jmichaelx | v6lur: i am using the most recent firefox3, and it is locking up on 2 different PCs | 02:20 |
| OmnipotentEntity | ok, so chances are it just didn't detect and use your wireless card. | 02:21 |
| Haemogoblin2 | before i look silly i'll point out the wifi card isn't in..i took it out just incase you guys might have needed model number info ect | 02:21 |
| OmnipotentEntity | hahaha | 02:21 |
| Haemogoblin2 | its going in now | 02:21 |
| OmnipotentEntity | ok, I figured you had one built in. | 02:21 |
| Haemogoblin2 | no | 02:21 |
| Haemogoblin2 | lol | 02:21 |
| OmnipotentEntity | :) No worries. | 02:21 |
| Haemogoblin2 | i'll install it now | 02:21 |
| Haemogoblin2 | ok we're plugged in | 02:21 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Give it a second and then check in knetworkmanager again. | 02:22 |
| billyd | ?part | 02:22 |
| v6lur | now give networkmanager some 30 seconds to "find" it | 02:22 |
| billyd | ?\/part | 02:22 |
| Haemogoblin2 | wooooh | 02:23 |
| Haemogoblin2 | ok | 02:23 |
| Haemogoblin2 | somethings working | 02:23 |
| Haemogoblin2 | :D | 02:23 |
| Haemogoblin2 | i just right clicked the icon | 02:23 |
| mneptok | !enter > Haemogoblin2 | 02:23 |
| Mimi | yaaay :D | 02:23 |
| Haemogoblin2 | and i'm finding our network | 02:23 |
| Haemogoblin2 | and next doors | 02:23 |
| v6lur | cool | 02:23 |
| Haemogoblin2 | ok give me a second and i shall have a go at getting it connected using it..if i vanish you'll know where i've gone | 02:24 |
| Haemogoblin2 | and also...thanks muchly! | 02:24 |
| v6lur | jmichaelx: fx isn't my primary browser, so i don't use it very often, but i haven't noticed any crashes... | 02:25 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Anyway, my problem was I have an obscure program that I'm trying to run under wine, it's a ROM dumping/flashing program called superflasher. It's just acting buggy. | 02:25 |
| OmnipotentEntity | I had been trying to get VirtualBox working, but none of my drivers work under the VirtualBox kernel. | 02:25 |
| OmnipotentEntity | :/ | 02:25 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Or at least, none of the ones I care about, like video driver and wifi. | 02:25 |
| jmichaelx | v6lur: i doesn't exactly crash... it just stops working for several seconds off an on.... over and over | 02:26 |
| jmichaelx | it* | 02:26 |
| OmnipotentEntity | jmichaelx are you going to flash heavy sites? | 02:26 |
| OmnipotentEntity | And do you have the free version of flash installed? | 02:26 |
| jmichaelx | OmnipotentEntity: it behaves this way whether or not flash is being used | 02:27 |
| OmnipotentEntity | s/flash/java/g ? | 02:27 |
| jmichaelx | OmnipotentEntity: i am using adobe's flash | 02:27 |
| [B5C]wallabee | i really really hate ati ;) | 02:27 |
| OmnipotentEntity | What about Java? Are you using Sun's version of Java. | 02:27 |
| OmnipotentEntity | ? | 02:27 |
| jmichaelx | OmnipotentEntity: yes, i am... but this is happening with FF without (obvious) connection to flash or java | 02:28 |
| jmichaelx | ...i think | 02:28 |
| OmnipotentEntity | AddOns? | 02:28 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Does it appear in top? | 02:28 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Is it dragging the rest of the system or is it isolated of FF? | 02:29 |
| jmichaelx | OmnipotentEntity: i have no addons on this FF.... on my laptop i have only stumbleupon... i don't think that is the issue | 02:29 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Is it's CPU usage spiking? | 02:29 |
| Haemogoblin3 | Well thank you very much :D i'm online using the wireless card..that was amazingly painless | 02:29 |
| OmnipotentEntity | its rather. | 02:29 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Haemogoblin3, congrats! | 02:30 |
| jmichaelx | OmnipotentEntity: that is a good question... i am also trying to narrow this down... it may be more system-wide than i thought | 02:30 |
| * jmichaelx wonders what ever happened to intellikey | 02:30 | |
| OmnipotentEntity | jmichaelx, I meant is Firefox's CPU usage spiking, but if you think something else may be the issue you can monitor your CPU usage using top or ksysguard | 02:30 |
| Haemogoblin3 | can you guys recommend a good place to big up noobie tips/hints for kubuntu? i dont want to be annoying you chaps to much with questions | 02:30 |
| NickPresta | jmichaelx, does this happen on websites like Facebook and such? JavaScript intensive site, especially ones that like to send HTTP requests, can lock up your browser temporarily. | 02:31 |
| Mimi | Yeah I get that a lot on icanhazcheeseburger... they have soooo many widgets on their page! | 02:31 |
| jmichaelx | NickPresta: it has been happening to me even doing google searches | 02:31 |
| NickPresta | Haemogoblin3, the docs http://help.ubuntu.com | 02:31 |
| NickPresta | jmichaelx, processor specs? | 02:31 |
| jmichaelx | nick, on this machine i have a 2.5Ghz celeron w/ 11GB RAM | 02:32 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Haemogoblin3, the great thing about kubuntu and ubuntu is everyone uses it, so if you run across a problem someone has probably already stumbled on the same problem. ;) | 02:32 |
| jmichaelx | oops | 02:32 |
| jmichaelx | 11GB* | 02:32 |
| jmichaelx | grr | 02:32 |
| Haemogoblin3 | whats the difference between kubuntu and ubuntu? | 02:32 |
| jmichaelx | 1GB* | 02:32 |
| jmichaelx | very touchy number keys | 02:32 |
| OmnipotentEntity | The kubuntu uses KDE, and ubuntu uses gnome. | 02:32 |
| Mimi | Oh yeah Haemogoblin2 ubuntuforums.com very very busy... make sure you search when you have a trouble, but it seems you are good about that :) | 02:32 |
| Haemogoblin3 | cheers dude..i'll check that out | 02:33 |
| Mimi | kde and gnome are just two different... desktop environments | 02:33 |
| heath | anyone know where I can reverse lookup a cell number? | 02:33 |
| NickPresta | jmichaelx, I don't know what the problem would be. I would probably open up a terminal with top/htop running and watch for firefox spikes and see what is going on. | 02:33 |
| Mimi | This is #kubuntu not #csi :P | 02:33 |
| Haemogoblin3 | what is kde? i've seen that on several sites | 02:33 |
| Mimi | kde is your desktop | 02:34 |
| NickPresta | !kde > Haemogoblin3 | 02:34 |
| OmnipotentEntity | I constantly have npviewer.bin running at 100% whenever I run youtube. | 02:34 |
| jmichaelx | nick, thanks. i'll keep investigating. | 02:34 |
| OmnipotentEntity | It's just my machine is a beast so I don't notice it. >_> | 02:34 |
| jmichaelx | most of my hardware is old junk, i like it that way | 02:34 |
| Haemogoblin3 | right..see i'm slowly wrapping my head around it..i might make my main pc dual boot xp and kubuntu | 02:35 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Haemogoblin3, a desktop environment is just your UI. Have you ever hacked Windows XP with a different explorer.exe? | 02:35 |
| Haemogoblin3 | i've used stardock | 02:36 |
| Mimi | You might like Avant Window Manager then :D | 02:36 |
| OmnipotentEntity | That's kinda the difference between gnome and KDE. It's just a different version of "explorer.exe"... sorta. | 02:36 |
| OmnipotentEntity | kinda. | 02:36 |
| Haemogoblin3 | cool, thus far it looks really really good and on a P3 750 its nippy | 02:37 |
| OmnipotentEntity | There's more to it than that, but it's an easy to understand way of describing it | 02:37 |
| jmichaelx | do people use avant in KDE? | 02:37 |
| NickPresta | jmichaelx, some do | 02:37 |
| nosrednaekim | jmichaelx: yeah..but it generally sucks | 02:37 |
| jmichaelx | hmm, | 02:37 |
| jmichaelx | lol ok, i sort of figured it was cut out more for gnome | 02:37 |
| Haemogoblin3 | i've not got around to costomizing the system...i just got it installed and go into getting my hardware working | 02:37 |
| Mimi | Sucks? Really? It runs with 0 problems under gnome, for me | 02:37 |
| jmichaelx | Mimi: we were talking about avant being used in KDE... | 02:38 |
| wirechief-intel | nosrednaekim: got that shutdown bug fixed now..had to patch that script | 02:38 |
| Haemogoblin3 | i have a belkin bluetooth adaptor which i'm hoping i'll get workign at some point | 02:38 |
| nosrednaekim | wirechief-intel: yeah me too.... | 02:38 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Mimi: a lot of avant's applets are dependent on gnome and gtk, it's not a good kde solution, yet | 02:38 |
| Mimi | Yes I know, but that comment struck me as odd that it doesnt run ok in kde... i was surprised, since its flawless in gnome, thats all... sheesh relax xF | 02:38 |
| nosrednaekim | !hardware | Haemogoblin this is invaluable for hardware problems | 02:39 |
| ubottu | Haemogoblin this is invaluable for hardware problems: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 02:39 |
| jmichaelx | the thing that really has me worked up is that weather.com changed their page layout, and no liquid weather is not working | 02:39 |
| jmichaelx | now* | 02:39 |
| jmichaelx | i think i'll write them a nasty email | 02:39 |
| NickPresta | jmichaelx, you could write a new python script :) | 02:39 |
| jmichaelx | NickPresta: i was hoping to avoid that | 02:40 |
| NickPresta | jmichaelx, it shouldn't be too tough. a little BS and you're good to go | 02:40 |
| jmichaelx | lol, probably so | 02:40 |
| Mimi | Daisuke_Ido, thanks i had no idea | 02:40 |
| jmichaelx | writing the scathing email would be fun, too... but probably less productive | 02:40 |
| Haemogoblin3 | right i've bookmarked that page thanks :D | 02:41 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Mimi: no worries | 02:41 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i've been following awn pretty closely lately, the devs are trying to degnomify the applets | 02:41 |
| Haemogoblin3 | so far this looks like a pretty sweet OS | 02:41 |
| wirechief-intel | nosrednaekim: cool thanks for the links | 02:42 |
| jmichaelx | i hope that by KDE4.1 we will be able to make the panel transparent again.... | 02:42 |
| rignes | Hello all, where is the default run level in Hardy set? In other distros I would just edit inittab but that file doesn't appear to exist in Kubuntu. | 02:42 |
| nosrednaekim | jmichaelx: you can do that now... install the slim-glow plasma theme | 02:42 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had any experience using Super Flasher under wine. It a bit of an obscure program, used for dumping and flashing ROMs to an SNES cart/programmable SNES cart. | 02:43 |
| nosrednaekim | !upstart | rignes | 02:43 |
| ubottu | rignes: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 02:43 |
| wirechief-intel | nosrednaekim: i had to get rid of firefox3 it was just too buggy, would not save bookmarks or homepage | 02:43 |
| rignes | Thanks | 02:43 |
| jmichaelx | nosrednaekim: ty, i didn't know there was such a thing. i am going to do that right now | 02:43 |
| jmichaelx | wirechief-intel: i have been having FF3 issues , too... all was well with FF3 until the most recent updates came down the line a few weeks ago | 02:44 |
| wirechief-intel | jmichaelx: hmm well till they sortem out im using ff2 | 02:44 |
| Haemogoblin3 | what is compiz? | 02:45 |
| Mimi | !compiz | 02:45 |
| ubottu | Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion | 02:45 |
| Mimi | Oops :) | 02:45 |
| jmichaelx | compiz will eat your CPU | 02:45 |
| Haemogoblin3 | i just tried to enable it and it wont | 02:45 |
| Mimi | Well Haemogoblin3 search youtube for compiz :) :) :) | 02:45 |
| hi5 | *compiz will eat your GPU | 02:45 |
| jmichaelx | lol | 02:45 |
| Haemogoblin3 | right.. | 02:45 |
| jmichaelx | that, too | 02:45 |
| OmnipotentEntity | I haven't had terrible amounts of CPU usage w/compiz. | 02:45 |
| Haemogoblin3 | i just wondered how i alter...background colour ect ect | 02:46 |
| v6lur | Haemogoblin3, you need to logoff and logon again to use compiz-fusion | 02:46 |
| hi5 | my cpu is currently at 3% at 798Mhz, and little use of my GPU even so? | 02:46 |
| jmichaelx | no, i was kidding. it isn't that bad | 02:46 |
| hi5 | compiz pwnz all | 02:46 |
| * hi5 is compiz fiend | 02:46 | |
| Mimi | compiz helps with my ADD ;p | 02:46 |
| jmichaelx | i don't use compiz much | 02:46 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Haemogoblin3, right click the desktop, Configure Desktop. | 02:46 |
| jmichaelx | LOL @ Mimi | 02:46 |
| Mimi | ctrl + p and all the windows im not using become semi transparent :D | 02:46 |
| Haemogoblin3 | well i just clicked on install desktop effect and it failed | 02:46 |
| v6lur | compiz-fusion is really cool, but kopete keeps crashing the system with emerald as window manager :/ | 02:47 |
| OmnipotentEntity | compiz is useful. But I don't like running with while running WoW. | 02:47 |
| Mimi | Haemogoblin3, probably havent installed resttricted drivers yet | 02:47 |
| hi5 | lol, seriously compiz helps with mine too! | 02:47 |
| jmichaelx | sweet, my slackware 12.1 CDs have finished downloading | 02:47 |
| Mimi | !restricted | 02:47 |

| hi5 | the window darkening rocks! | 02:47 |
| Mimi | oops | 02:47 |
| Haemogoblin3 | so how do i install it | 02:47 |
| Mimi | hi5, i just make the windows look almost like they arent there (so that they blend in with the wallpaper ;) ) | 02:47 |
| hi5 | compiz (when it's not busy crashing) is like os-x on speed | 02:47 |
| Mimi | !compiz | Haemogoblin3 | 02:47 |
| ubottu | Haemogoblin3: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion | 02:47 |
| hi5 | Mimi: ditto :) | 02:48 |
| Haemogoblin3 | lol | 02:48 |
| v6lur | hi5, well said | 02:48 |
| tuanpham | morning every ! | 02:48 |
| [B5C]wallabee | how can i find out which video driver kde4 is using (without starting kde4) | 02:48 |
| Haemogoblin3 | is it worth having installed? | 02:48 |
| Mimi | Hi tua :) | 02:48 |
| Mimi | Haemogoblin3, depends on your needs and how good your computer is. still, its worth a try me thinks | 02:48 |
| tuanpham | hi Mimi | 02:48 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Haemogoblin3, do you like eyecandy? Is your computer's GPU fast? | 02:48 |
| OmnipotentEntity | If you answered yes to both, compiz is right for you. | 02:49 |
| Haemogoblin3 | thanks i thought i'd just ask..you guys have been using this os alot longer then me | 02:49 |
| Haemogoblin3 | it's a 16mb ATI 128 | 02:49 |
| OmnipotentEntity | :/ | 02:49 |
| Mimi | You dont want compiz then | 02:49 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Don't install compiz. You won't like it. | 02:49 |
| Haemogoblin3 | 750 P3 | 02:49 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Yeah. | 02:49 |
| Haemogoblin3 | a basic compaq laptop | 02:49 |
| Mimi | Should probably be using xubuntu uh? | 02:50 |
| OmnipotentEntity | (from 2002. :) | 02:50 |
| Haemogoblin3 | xubuntu? | 02:50 |
| OmnipotentEntity | I agree, you'll like xubuntu better. | 02:50 |
| v6lur | if kde runs fine, why change it? | 02:50 |
| jmichaelx | geesh, konqueror is not working correctly either | 02:50 |
| Mimi | True | 02:50 |
| Haemogoblin3 | it's running very sweet right now | 02:50 |
| OmnipotentEntity | :) Good, don't fix what's not broken. | 02:51 |
| jmichaelx | i may have to do a fresh install... initially i thought my upgrade to hardy had gone smoothely | 02:51 |
| jmichaelx | An error occurred while loading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion: | 02:51 |
| * Dr_willis waits for ServicePack1 for hardy. | 02:51 | |
| Dr_willis | :) | 02:51 |
| Mimi | lol | 02:51 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Ouch Dr_willis, harsh. | 02:51 |
| Haemogoblin3 | :D | 02:52 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Haemogoblin3, open up a terminal and run glxgears | 02:52 |
| Haemogoblin3 | i'm just getting firefox..good and faithful | 02:52 |
| Haemogoblin3 | what is that? | 02:52 |
| v6lur | it's a program to benchmark your graphics card | 02:52 |
| Haemogoblin3 | can't run specified command | 02:52 |
| OmnipotentEntity | It's not really a benchmark, I just wanted to see if he had glx extensions installed. | 02:53 |
| Haemogoblin3 | apparently i dont | 02:53 |
| OmnipotentEntity | But then again, ati open source drivers have 3d acceleration already. | 02:53 |
| OmnipotentEntity | I forgot that. | 02:53 |
| OmnipotentEntity | >_> | 02:53 |
| v6lur | well, that's how people round here ar using it :) | 02:53 |
| OmnipotentEntity | You mean like this: | 02:54 |
| OmnipotentEntity | (1)omnipotententity@oberus% glxgears ~ | 02:54 |
| OmnipotentEntity | 82994 frames in 5.0 seconds = 16594.297 FPS | 02:54 |
| OmnipotentEntity | 104067 frames in 5.0 seconds = 20813.357 FPS | 02:54 |
| OmnipotentEntity | 105443 frames in 5.0 seconds = 21088.562 FPS | 02:54 |
| OmnipotentEntity | :D | 02:54 |
| v6lur | yea | 02:54 |
| jmichaelx | sick the ops on OmnipotentEntity! | 02:54 |
| jmichaelx | oh well, nevermind | 02:54 |
| OmnipotentEntity | Yeah, not a benchmark, I preferred it when you had to pass the option --iunderstandthatthisisnotabenchmark | 02:54 |
| v6lur | lol | 02:55 |
| Dr_willis | I think who ever came up with that --iunderstand. bs should be shot. | 02:55 |
| Haemogoblin3 | i take it kubuntu comes bundled with those ati drivers | 02:55 |
| Dr_willis | its as close to a bench mark as anything else ive seen. :) | 02:55 |
| OmnipotentEntity | He was. The option isn't there anymore and it prints the FPS by default now. | 02:56 |
| nosrednaekim | Haemogoblin3: no... not really | 02:56 |
| nosrednaekim | Haemogoblin3: you can get them from the hardware deveices manager | 02:56 |
| Haemogoblin3 | i might need a little, guidance :P | 02:56 |
| Haemogoblin3 | DOH!! | 02:56 |
| jmichaelx | this shooting devs for stupid config flags could catch on | 02:57 |
| nosrednaekim | Haemogoblin3: system->hardware devicemanager | 02:57 |
| Haemogoblin3 | okies loaded it up | 02:57 |
| OmnipotentEntity | be back later. :) | 02:58 |
| OmnipotentEntity | tootles. | 02:58 |
| nosrednaekim | Haemogoblin3: anything about the ati driver there? | 02:58 |
| Haemogoblin3 | no proprietary drivers are in use on this system | 02:58 |
| jmichaelx | for some of the older ati video adaptors, the OS drivers are fairly awesome | 02:59 |
| Haemogoblin3 | right | 03:00 |
| jmichaelx | i have a machine with compiz enabled, and working well.. using a radeon 9000, and OS drivers | 03:00 |
| Haemogoblin3 | i dont think this little laptops GFX card would compare to even a 9000 | 03:00 |
| jmichaelx | ahh, yeah, probably not | 03:00 |
| Haemogoblin3 | i've just noticed a problem | 03:01 |
| Haemogoblin3 | i followed a link off the wiki for compiz to a youtube video..it's not playing the vid | 03:02 |
| nosrednaekim | Haemogoblin3: run "sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree" | 03:02 |
| v6lur | rather: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 03:03 |
| Haemogoblin3 | should something pop up when i put that in the run command window | 03:04 |
| Mimi | Haemogoblin3, oops, you want to run that from terminal window, not from alt + f2 ^^ | 03:04 |
| Haemogoblin3 | ok how does one do that | 03:05 |
| nosrednaekim | Haemogoblin3: run it from a terminal.. a konsole | 03:05 |
| nosrednaekim | v6lur: that has the flash player?ok | 03:05 |
| nosrednaekim | Haemogoblin3: system->konsole | 03:05 |
| Haemogoblin3 | could not find kubuntu- ect ect ect | 03:06 |
| Haemogoblin3 | do i need the CD in | 03:06 |
| Mimi | Shouldn't | 03:06 |

| Mimi | AH | 03:07 |
| nosrednaekim | Haemogoblin3: ok, run " sudo apt-get update" to update your package lists | 03:07 |
| Mimi | not only that, doesnt he have to enable the extra repos, since restricted is non free? | 03:08 |
| Mimi | Where do you Kubuntians go to change the software sources? (In gnome I have Administration>Software Sources | 03:08 |
| Haemogoblin3 | Ohh now something IS happening :D | 03:08 |
| nosrednaekim | probably already enabled | 03:08 |
| Mimi | It comes enabled by default? non free? | 03:08 |
| Haemogoblin3 | ok done | 03:09 |
| nosrednaekim | Haemogoblin3: try the previous command | 03:09 |

| [B5C]wallabee | hm my panel disappeared how can i get it back? already tried a restart | 03:10 |
| Haemogoblin3 | just to confirm | 03:10 |
| nosrednaekim | yes | 03:10 |
| nosrednaekim | [B5C]wallabee: kde4? | 03:10 |
| [B5C]wallabee | yes | 03:10 |

| sledge | anybody know how i can install an older (<2.6.24-16) kernel image without rolling my own? | 03:14 |
| nosrednaekim | sledge: you don't want to :P | 03:14 |
| nosrednaekim | !kernel | 03:14 |
| ubottu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubottu stages | 03:14 |
| Haemogoblin3 | so anything beginning with CD is a no no | 03:14 |
| nosrednaekim | Haemogoblin3: right... it would require you to have your CD all the time, which is a pain when you have a net connection | 03:14 |
| Mimi | Haemogoblin3, don;'t want to use CD packages unless you have bad bad bad internet connection | 03:14 |
| Haemogoblin3 | right | 03:15 |
| Haemogoblin3 | ok ticking them off now | 03:15 |
| Haemogoblin3 | erm | 03:15 |
| Haemogoblin3 | there are alot of them.. | 03:15 |
| nosrednaekim | like 6 right? | 03:16 |
| Haemogoblin3 | no | 03:16 |
| Mimi | Haemogoblin3, | 03:16 |
| Mimi | <Mimi> Haemogoblin3, | 03:16 |
| Mimi | gaaah!!!! | 03:16 |
| sledge | nosrednaekim: I want to. Everything above -11 breaks my broadcom wireless adapter. | 03:16 |

| nosrednaekim | Haemogoblin3: just in the "kubuntu software tab: | 03:17 |
| Haemogoblin3 | 904 installed , 15 upgradable, 24798 availible | 03:17 |
| nosrednaekim | Haemogoblin3: oh... don't check all those packages! go into the adept menu->manage repositories | 03:18 |
| Haemogoblin3 | ok | 03:18 |
| Haemogoblin3 | going there now | 03:18 |
| nosrednaekim | make sure "restricted" is checked off | 03:19 |
| Mimi | Why have it checked off? | 03:19 |
| Haemogoblin3 | i dont even see it :S | 03:20 |
| nosrednaekim | well... checked :) | 03:20 |
| Haemogoblin3 | ooh i do now | 03:20 |
| nosrednaekim | multiverse and restricted | 03:21 |
| Haemogoblin3 | drivers for devices ( restricted) | 03:21 |
| Haemogoblin3 | and then the one below it? yes | 03:21 |
| nosrednaekim | ok... were they both checked before? | 03:21 |
| Haemogoblin3 | yes | 03:21 |
| nosrednaekim | oh.... what version of kubuntu do you have? | 03:22 |
| Haemogoblin3 | the latest | 03:22 |

| nosrednaekim | ah! the package name is now "flashplugin-nonfree" | 03:23 |
| nosrednaekim | sorry about that | 03:23 |
| Haemogoblin3 | its dwnloading stuff | 03:23 |
| Haemogoblin3 | i dont see it on the list | 03:25 |
| Haemogoblin3 | but there's alot of flash related findings in the search | 03:25 |
| nosrednaekim | not that though? | 03:25 |
| Haemogoblin3 | no | 03:25 |
| Haemogoblin3 | libflash | 03:26 |
| [B5C]wallabee | :( kde4 is too buggy | 03:26 |
| nosrednaekim | thats very odd... do you have the "kubuntu-restricted-extras" package? | 03:26 |
| Mimi | *sigh* isn't it called... yes that, ^ | 03:27 |
| Haemogoblin3 | how would i determine if i had? | 03:27 |
| Mimi | theres a search bar there | 03:27 |
| Mimi | search for: restricted | 03:27 |
| Haemogoblin3 | no | 03:28 |
| Haemogoblin3 | one sex | 03:28 |
| Haemogoblin3 | sec even | 03:28 |
| Haemogoblin3 | nothing by that name | 03:29 |

| Haemogoblin3 | yes | 03:33 |
| Mimi | are they all checked? | 03:33 |
| Haemogoblin3 | yes | 03:33 |
| Mimi | why do kubuntunians use adept manager >.> its so difficult to use, while gnome's add/remove is so simple >.> | 03:33 |
| Mimi | mmmm thats odd xD | 03:33 |
| Mimi | match package name and description? | 03:33 |
| twoshadetod | is there a graph program? something that just gives you a graph and you can click a box and have it selected, preferably with other features but doesn'thave to | 03:34 |
| Mimi | Haemogoblin3, you've already tried i think, sincce you've updates the repositories now, can you try this? open a konsole from the system menu, then run sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 03:35 |
| nosrednaekim | twoshadetod: maybe kmplot | 03:35 |
| twoshadetod | hmmm | 03:35 |
| twoshadetod | thanks ill check that out | 03:35 |
| Haemogoblin3 | ok doing it now | 03:36 |

| Mimi | OhMy Ubuntu even comes with Flickr Updates on it's repos!! Neat! | 03:37 |
| Mimi | the package blah blah was not found? | 03:37 |
| Haemogoblin3 | yep | 03:38 |
| Haemogoblin3 | it seems to be a running theme | 03:38 |
| Haemogoblin3 | would firefox be flash enabled out of the box? | 03:38 |
| Mimi | xD You must have not selected all the repositories / sources... :/ | 03:38 |
| Mimi | Haemogoblin3, I could swear mine was, but you know, I installed ubuntu soooo long ago i dont remmebr | 03:38 |
| Mimi | Would anyone be against him installing gnome-app-install..> ? lol its so easy to use compared to adept... | 03:39 |
| nosrednaekim | nah | 03:39 |
| nosrednaekim | thats fine :) | 03:39 |
| Haemogoblin3 | under third party software..those need ticking right? | 03:40 |
| Mimi | Yes | 03:40 |
| Haemogoblin3 | right | 03:40 |
| Haemogoblin3 | ok! | 03:40 |
| Haemogoblin3 | now i know where i went wrong...human error | 03:40 |
| Mimi | Like the repository list in adept... what the bunny is that mess! | 03:40 |
| Haemogoblin3 | ook its once more updating | 03:41 |
| Mimi | Yeah it has to download the list of available applications and updates :) | 03:41 |
| Mimi | Has anyone told him to do update & upgrade yet? | 03:41 |
| andresj | hello. i am currently using gutsy. I wanna upgrade to hardy but I don't know if I'll need to reinstall the O.S. like I had to do last distro upgrade... any comments? | 03:42 |
| Mimi | andresj, no, you dont have to do a fresh install | 03:42 |
| andresj | but does it work correctly? I mean, I also thought I didn't have to do a fresh install from feisty->gutsy | 03:43 |
| Haemogoblin3 | ok | 03:43 |
| Mimi | I personally prefer to do a fresh install since it doesnt take too long. If you have a separate ./home partition I recomend you do a fresh install | 03:43 |
| Haemogoblin3 | thus far what i did, i checked the two files under the CD part of the third party packages | 03:43 |
| Haemogoblin3 | i searched for flash but i didn't see the plugin, so i've run sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras in the terminal and still nothing | 03:44 |
| Haemogoblin3 | :S | 03:44 |
| andresj | mmm... I dont have a separate /home partition :( | 03:44 |
| andresj | I used to, but I got lazy the last two installs :D | 03:45 |
| Mimi | We told you not to enable Restricted, didn't we? .... *shakes head* ..... Who did that?! :P hae, you need Restrict repositories too >.> Im sorry for the mess | 03:45 |
| heinkel_111 | hello..is it possible to upgrade 7.10 --> 8.04 using the DVD? | 03:45 |
| Mimi | andresj, maybe this time you could make up for your lazyness? *wink* *lets you borrow her usb drive for backup ^^ | 03:45 |
| Mimi | Yeah it is heinkel_111 | 03:45 |
| andresj | :D | 03:45 |

| Haemogoblin3 | Restrict repositories ?? | 03:46 |
| Mimi | Yes, enable those, hae | 03:46 |
| Haemogoblin3 | i ran a search again | 03:47 |
| Haemogoblin3 | for restricted and it didn't find it still | 03:48 |
| nosrednaekim | Haemogoblin3: :( | 03:48 |
| Haemogoblin3 | :S | 03:48 |
| nosrednaekim | sorry, I'm outa ideas... something is messed up there | 03:48 |

| Mimi | You're right lol | 03:48 |
| matiii | any body can help me, i cant install nvidia drivers | 03:48 |
| * Mimi googles for a clean sources file | 03:49 | |
| Haemogoblin3 | i'll install firefox and get back to you | 03:49 |
| Haemogoblin3 | it might solve it | 03:49 |
| * Mimi loves having firefox launch in 1 sec when I have 20 tabs and just booted ;p | 03:50 | |
| Haemogoblin3 | ooook, how do i install firefox lol... | 03:50 |

| Haemogoblin3 | what about when i need to install stuff manuall | 03:53 |
| Mimi | You will rarely have to | 03:53 |
| Mimi | very very rarely | 03:53 |
| nosrednaekim | you PROBABLY won't ever have to | 03:53 |
| Mimi | Yeah. | 03:53 |
| Haemogoblin3 | right.. | 03:53 |
| Haemogoblin3 | ok | 03:53 |
| Haemogoblin3 | then can some explain to me this sudo apt thingy | 03:54 |
| Mimi | Yeah, one sec | 03:54 |
| Haemogoblin3 | :P | 03:54 |
| Mimi | guys what text editor does kubuntu use, is it kate? | 03:54 |
| Haemogoblin3 | hehe...my OS is doing things for me that simply is not meant to happen | 03:54 |
| andresj | Mimi, I think kwrite is the default | 03:55 |
| Mimi | thanks | 03:55 |
| Haemogoblin3 | simple laws of microsoft state that your os is supposed to STOP you from doing things..not help you! | 03:55 |
| andresj | (at least it is for KDE4--been disconnected from the kde3 world for over 5 months now :D) | 03:55 |
| Mimi | hae, can you do me a big favor? could you type in that konsole: sudo kwrite /etc/fstab (DONT make any changes, just copy, paste it here: http://paste.ubuntu.com ) | 03:55 |
| andresj | Haemogoblin3: and they are very good at it :D | 03:55 |
| Mimi | Yea.... | 03:56 |
| nosrednaekim | !apt | 03:56 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 03:56 |
| Mimi | I <3 not needing a firewall and antivirus :D | 03:56 |
| andresj | yeah I can't remember the last time i did anything even related to an antivirus | 03:57 |
| Haemogoblin3 | eeeep | 03:57 |
| Mimi | omg hae, ignore waht i said. LOL | 03:57 |
| heinkel_111 | where di I find the MD5 checksum for the AMD64 DVD version of kubuntu 8.04? | 03:58 |

| wirechief-intel | heinkel_1 fc43f665ba51c4be0d95c011aefef45d *ubuntu-8.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 03:59 |
| Mimi | instead do sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list please copy everything and paste it at http://paste.ubuntu.com and give us the link when you're done ^^ (What Im trying to do is set up the lists correctly for you ^^;;; | 04:00 |
| Mimi | If you don't mind :) | 04:00 |
| Haemogoblin3 | it's fine i'm a PC user i'm used to my os doing random things without my knowledge | 04:00 |
| heinkel_111 | wirechief-intel: you sure that is for the DVD? | 04:00 |
| Mimi | lol | 04:00 |
| heinkel_111 | wirechief-intel: that is the cd file | 04:01 |
| wirechief-intel | heinkel_111: its what i got from www.distrowatch.com but for dvd ?? dont know | 04:01 |
| heinkel_111 | the dvd is named kubuntu-8.04-dvd-amd64.iso | 04:01 |
| Haemogoblin3 | haemogoblin@Compaq:~$ sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.listsudo: kwrite: command not foundhaemogoblin@Compaq:~$ | 04:01 |
| nosrednaekim | uhh kate :) | 04:01 |
| wirechief-intel | heinkel_111: i just checked my list it is not given oh well | 04:01 |
| Mimi | gah you guys hate me or what :D | 04:02 |
| nosrednaekim | oh.. and make that kdesudo | 04:02 |
| Mimi | replace kwrite with kate .... you guys hate me !! lol i love this channel | 04:02 |
| andresj | oh that made me remember: now that I'm doing a fresh install, should I use amd64 or i386? I currently use i386 because of all the compatibility problems (flash, blender3d--which is fixed now, etc), but I used to have amd64 before. | 04:02 |
| Haemogoblin3 | lol | 04:02 |
| andresj | so that's ``kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list`` :D | 04:02 |
| Mimi | This would never happen at #ubuntu... they're so stern | 04:03 |
| Mimi | Yes that will do * as andresj said | 04:03 |
| nosrednaekim | Mimi: way more traffic, yes :) | 04:03 |
| heinkel_111 | wirechief-intel & others, I solved the checksum problem, have some coffee! | 04:04 |
| Haemogoblin3 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/11052/ | 04:04 |
| Haemogoblin3 | there you go | 04:04 |

| nosrednaekim | yeah... thats cause you ran it with sudo | 04:05 |

| Haemogoblin3 | i'm not savvy on what the heck i'm doing just yet | 04:05 |
| Mimi | Its my fault ;) | 04:05 |
| Haemogoblin3 | lol | 04:05 |

| ubottu | The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 04:05 |

| Mimi | ok Haemogoblin3 http://paste.ubuntu.com/11054/plain/ all i did is enable multiverse | 04:07 |
| Mimi | multiverse: non free (usually non open source) software. | 04:07 |
| Mimi | like flash me thinks | 04:07 |
| andresj | Mimi: wouldn't it have been simpler to use Adept Manager for that? | 04:07 |
| Haemogoblin3 | now..i think you will know my next question....what do i do with this nice..very lovely look stream of text | 04:08 |
| Mimi | andresj, yea but but but... we were having trouble picking the right ones. I dont blame it, the interface is rusty and he's new to it so | 04:08 |
| Mimi | :) | 04:08 |
| Mimi | kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list replace everything by that new link | 04:09 |
| Haemogoblin3 | ok so i type that into the terminal | 04:09 |
| Mimi | Yes | 04:09 |
| Mimi | and no, you dont have to do stuff on the konsole all the time in case youre wondering! i just want to set you up with that real quick so you can get going and learning more / quicker ;) | 04:10 |
| Haemogoblin3 | ok.....*sigh* i really dont know what the heck i'm doing | 04:10 |
| Haemogoblin3 | lol | 04:10 |
| Mimi | Ask if you have a doubt | 04:10 |
| Haemogoblin3 | i fear at the moment my brains might melt | 04:10 |
| Mimi | lol | 04:10 |
| * Mimi wonders why her cat is sitting on the stove staring at the wall. i think HER brain has melted. | 04:11 | |
| Haemogoblin3 | erm it says command not found | 04:11 |
| Haemogoblin3 | haemogoblin@Compaq:~$ kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.listsudo: Â: command not found | 04:11 |
| twoshadetod | where is a good linux games website? | 04:11 |
| Mimi | did you copy and paste? it seems it copied a unicode (?) character ^^ try typing it manually | 04:12 |
| andresj | Haemogoblin3: APT is like a database of programs: it includes links to the installers, description and what other programs should be downloaded with it (like you have to install the .NET Framework before using some programs in Windows). This database is constantly updated from repositories. What you just did was a repository, thus enabling you to install more programs using APT. | 04:13 |
| Haemogoblin3 | kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:13 |
| Haemogoblin3 | thats the right command yes? | 04:13 |
| Mimi | Yeah except when you install something that requires .net, you have to do download it and install it yourself. in Ubuntu, if an app needs something, APT does it itself ;) | 04:13 |
| Mimi | Yes that's right Haemogoblin3 | 04:13 |
| Haemogoblin3 | haemogoblin@Compaq:~$ kdesudo kate/etc/apt/sources.listsudo: kate/etc/apt/sources.list: command not found | 04:14 |
| Haemogoblin3 | thats with me typing it out | 04:14 |

| andresj | I forgot this is not the command line, that you can comment out a line by adding # :D | 04:15 |
| Mimi | andresj, its kdesudo? or kdesu ? | 04:15 |
| andresj | kdesudo I think | 04:15 |
| andresj | but try kdesu | 04:16 |
| andresj | because that also exists here | 04:16 |
| Mimi | lol I feel bad for this mess :) | 04:16 |

| wirechief-intel | just apt-get install curl | 04:19 |

| Daisuke_Ido | Mimi: perfectly understandable | 04:29 |

| Mimi | does konsole have the TAB auto completion thingie? | 04:29 |
| andresj | yes | 04:29 |

| Haemogoblin3 | right.. | 04:35 |
| andresj | but write two letters or more | 04:35 |

| * Mimi promptly searches for Apple styles | 05:10 | |
| andresj | Apply styles? | 05:10 |
| andresj | Apple*? | 05:10 |
| Mimi | aqua, leopard, etc etc | 05:10 |
| andresj | ah.. ohhh! | 05:10 |
| andresj | got it | 05:10 |
| Mimi | I heard kde styles are very difficult to install compared to gnome's (drag file to Appearance box) | 05:11 |
| andresj | mmmm... make; sudo make install | 05:11 |
| andresj | although some come with ubuntu debs already | 05:11 |
| Mimi | eek :O :O *hair raises in terror* | 05:11 |
| andresj | lol | 05:11 |
| andresj | I wonder how that works | 05:12 |
| andresj | the gnome drag file thing | 05:12 |
| andresj | are gnome styles just images or sth? | 05:12 |
| Mimi | Well you can open Appearance properties, you can drag the tar file to it, or click the Install button (where you locate the tar file) and it takes a sec, then it asks if you want to keep your current setup or if you want to apply the new theme. | 05:13 |
| Mimi | I hate when windows people use kde at first... its so complicated. | 05:13 |
| andresj | well yeah it is complicated in many aspects | 05:13 |
| Mimi | Like, how can you except a new user to do the whole make, make install deal?! | 05:13 |
| andresj | the hardest part of that is installing the -dev packages manually | 05:14 |
| Mimi | oh yeah | 05:14 |
| Mimi | That's a lot to ask from a newbie | 05:14 |
| andresj | true, true | 05:15 |
| Mimi | Like, right now, I downloaded the kde Daurora style... no instructions.. so I think "ok it must be easy then"..... so I open the tar, and it has 2 pictures and 2 kcsrc files..... so I think "... mmmk..." .... then .... | 05:16 |
| [B5C]wallabee | my battery status stays at 11% is there anything i can do? | 05:16 |
| Mimi | then i go to Configure > Apearance > Style .... THere's nothing there regarding installing a new style | 05:16 |
| Mimi | And I'm not even new to kde, ive used it on and off since ....1997? | 05:17 |
| andresj | yeah I really think stuff like that should be automated | 05:17 |
| Mimi | seriously... im looking aorund in the control center and I still dont see the option to install a style lol | 05:18 |
| andresj | i just asked in ##gnome how do their system work | 05:18 |
| andresj | to see if it is viable to use it in kde, too | 05:18 |
| Mimi | definately not | 05:19 |
| andresj | definetly not what? | 05:19 |
| Mimi | it applies styles to gnome apps only. | 05:19 |
| andresj | I know. | 05:19 |
| andresj | I mean a similar system | 05:19 |
| Mimi | oh ok | 05:19 |
| andresj | :P | 05:19 |
| joseph | !wm-manager | 05:20 |
| ubottu | Factoid wm-manager not found | 05:20 |
| joseph | !virtualbox | 05:20 |
| ubottu | virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available in !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 05:20 |
| andresj | Mimi: ok so GNOME styles are a group of images and conf files. KDE styles are libraries. | 05:23 |
| Mimi | *shrug* I don't care what it is, I just want it to work without me having to spend a whole afternoon making it work *wink* ^^ | 05:24 |
| andresj | lol | 05:24 |
| andresj | well yeah I mean it should compile it automatically, or the people should provide compiled packages already | 05:24 |
| Mimi | well see this Daurora, it doesnt even look complicated, its just 2 files ;p | 05:25 |
| andresj | I think it will be easier now that cmake is being used | 05:26 |
| Mimi | lol... i dbl click the file and its just a text file... what in the name of god do i do with it? i bet god himself doenst even know ^^ | 05:27 |
| leo_rockw | greetings #kubuntu | 05:27 |

| leo_rockw | aloh speme | 05:28 |
| leo_rockw | aloha* | 05:28 |
| Mimi | Does anyone know how to install a theme... lol seriously.... so I got .. ummm i managed to get to Theme manager... but when I pick Install it doesnt list the thing i downloaded xD | 05:29 |
| leo_rockw | i'm bored... nobody with broken grubs or amarok-don't-play-mp3s? | 05:29 |
| [B5C]wallabee | :) | 05:29 |
| [B5C]wallabee | my batterystatus is wrong | 05:29 |
| leo_rockw | [B5C]wallabee: what does it say? | 05:30 |
| leo_rockw | setuid_w00t: hello | 05:30 |
| andresj | Mimi: what files are in the tar? | 05:30 |
| [B5C]wallabee | it says 2 batterys and 11% | 05:30 |
| [B5C]wallabee | i have 1 battery and 100% | 05:31 |
| Mimi | andresj, 2 screenshots 1 daurora-look.kcsrc 1 domino_daurora-lookrc | 05:31 |
| [B5C]wallabee | acer travelmate 4000 with kde3 | 05:31 |
| andresj | oohhh... THAT kind of style... lol | 05:31 |
| Mimi | .. that kinda style? lol | 05:31 |
| leo_rockw | [B5C]wallabee: where do you get the readings from? | 05:31 |
| andresj | it would be called a theme I think | 05:32 |
| [B5C]wallabee | ?battery 2. what do u mean? | 05:32 |
| Mimi | mmm i could swear I clicked /styles/ in kde-look ;p | 05:32 |
| leo_rockw | [B5C]wallabee: what app | 05:32 |
| [B5C]wallabee | the small battery icon in the panel | 05:32 |
| dennister | hey channel, any recommendations for an accounting/inventory program to install on my kubuntu database server? | 05:32 |
| andresj | Mimi, what is the page in kde-look? | 05:33 |
| Mimi | http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Daurora?content=65297 | 05:33 |
| leo_rockw | [B5C]wallabee: the green one w/ the yellow thingy? | 05:33 |
| [B5C]wallabee | jep | 05:33 |
| leo_rockw | [B5C]wallabee: there's another monitor, that's why i'm asking | 05:33 |
| andresj | Mimi, that's a Domino style | 05:33 |
| andresj | so you have to install Domino first | 05:33 |
| dennister | no way will i ever trust sql-ledger again, tinyerp and egroupware seem way too huge for just me, i'm looking at postbooks now...any other ideas/recommendations? | 05:34 |
| Mimi | O_O | 05:34 |
| leo_rockw | [B5C]wallabee: i believe it's called klaptopdaemon... idk if it will give you the same readings, tho. idk how that other app gets its readings. | 05:34 |
| setuid_w00t | Are there any serious issues that I should be aware of before I try to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy? | 05:34 |
| andresj | Mimi: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=42804 | 05:35 |
| leo_rockw | setuid_w00t: do you have a broadcom wireless card? | 05:35 |
| setuid_w00t | leo_rockw: Nope, this is a desktop | 05:35 |
| andresj | just untar this one, ./configure; make; sudo make install | 05:35 |
| [B5C]wallabee | kloptopdaemon shows the real status ;) | 05:36 |
| leo_rockw | [B5C]wallabee: yay! | 05:36 |
| Mimi | theres a wiki page with a list of issues... cant find it.. | 05:36 |
| andresj | and then select it as your style in system settings, go into configure and put "import" | 05:36 |
| leo_rockw | setuid_w00t: that was about the only "problem" i had w/ hardy | 05:36 |
| leo_rockw | setuid_w00t: and it was easy to solve, just get the proper drivers | 05:36 |
| setuid_w00t | cool, thanks | 05:38 |
| leo_rockw | setuid_w00t: and the media key didn't bind to amarok... easy to solve, just do it manually | 05:38 |
| leo_rockw | setuid_w00t: there's nothing else i recall having problems with. but different things might happen w/ different hardware | 05:39 |
| Mimi | Aaaaah Gnome... :) *sits back and enjoys the show* | 05:41 |
| andresj | lol | 05:41 |
| leo_rockw | Mimi: gnome > /dev/null | 05:41 |
| Mimi | pffftt kde>/dev/null | 05:41 |
| Mimi | I just can't make myself use kde... i've tried. I've tried lots. | 05:42 |
| * leo_rockw shakes his arm: you shall pay for this Mimi, you hear me? you shall pay! | 05:42 | |
| leo_rockw | lol | 05:42 |
| Mimi | ;p | 05:42 |
| leo_rockw | to each his own, i don't like gnome. | 05:42 |
| andresj | Mimi: I can say the same thing about gnome | 05:43 |
| Mimi | If I wanted to spend a whole week trying to make my desktop look half decent, I would go back to Windoz ^^;; | 05:43 |
| andresj | its not that it is not good, but I just cant get used to it | 05:43 |
| leo_rockw | Mimi: you can change absolutely everything in kde | 05:43 |
| raket | hey people, why there are extensions for firefox in the add/remove programs? | 05:43 |
| andresj | raket: why not? | 05:43 |
| Mimi | leo_rockw, yeah i know but theres soooooo many options with no details of what thye do that its just too overwhelming | 05:43 |
| raket | are they somehow modified to work under linux? | 05:44 |
| leo_rockw | Mimi: exactly :-) | 05:44 |
| leo_rockw | Mimi: i likey... | 05:44 |
| leo_rockw | Mimi: just stay with the DE that you feel comfortable with | 05:44 |
| raket | andresj? | 05:44 |
| Mimi | leo_rockw, it shoudlnt take me a week to make my desktop look good... it took me a few minutes in gnome.... | 05:44 |
| andresj | raket: a couple of them are specific to ubuntu | 05:45 |
| leo_rockw | Mimi: i really don't care about looks | 05:45 |
| andresj | the rest are just there for convenience | 05:45 |
| raket | I was only wondering where should I install them from | 05:45 |
| leo_rockw | Mimi: my wallpapers were randomly chosen from kde-look | 05:45 |
| Mimi | I see your point, but for me, leo_rockw , the gnome looks i have make me work better. much much better... i dont know | 05:46 |
| andresj | Intrepid is the name for the next release :D | 05:46 |
| Mimi | leo_rockw, I only have 1 wallpaper at a time, something soft, not distracting *cough* its actually the mac/aqua wallpaper but in a soft gray-blue | 05:46 |
| leo_rockw | Mimi: yeah, you would have 1 wallpaper in gnome. i have 10 lol | 05:47 |
| raket | alright. So I installed 7zip in Kubuntu (ofcourse) but I don't see the program's shortcut anywhere. what's the deal, does anyone know? | 05:47 |
| Mimi | leo_rockw, theres a lil app in the repos that makes it so you can do that too, i just choose not to. having a internet connection is distraction enough | 05:47 |
| leo_rockw | raket: 7zip is for console | 05:48 |
| Mimi | MOAR isnt always better | 05:48 |
| raket | leo_rockw: what? there's no GUI?! | 05:48 |
| andresj | raket: you can use ark | 05:48 |
| leo_rockw | raket: you might be able to make ark and 7zip play along... i never did it but it's probably possible | 05:48 |
| raket | andresj: I know, I just prefer 7zip | 05:48 |
| andresj | Ark uses the 7zip console program | 05:48 |
| andresj | *I think | 05:48 |
| andresj | the 7zip gui program for linux just doesnt exist | 05:49 |
| raket | hmm | 05:49 |
| * Mimi is tired... goes see some lolcats | 05:49 | |
| leo_rockw | wikipedia uses 7zip... just letting you know :-P | 05:50 |
| * andresj impatiently waits for Kubuntu Hardy KDE 4 Remix to download and being able to install KDE 4.0.4 and the "Toogle Composite" plasmoid | 05:50 | |
| leo_rockw | 404 is out? | 05:50 |
| leo_rockw | not found... | 05:50 |
| andresj | yes | 05:50 |
| leo_rockw | (pfft, bad joke) | 05:51 |
| andresj | didn't get it lol :D | 05:51 |
| leo_rockw | 404 not found | 05:51 |
| leo_rockw | you never got that from your browser? | 05:51 |
| andresj | yes I have | 05:51 |
| andresj | I thought you were asking for help lol | 05:51 |
| leo_rockw | haha, nah. | 05:51 |
| leo_rockw | when's 4.1 coming out? july? | 05:52 |
| andresj | yes | 05:52 |
| leo_rockw | sweet... i might install it again then | 05:52 |
| andresj | the alpha is already out, though but there is no package | 05:52 |
| leo_rockw | andresj: did you try the neon packages of amarok? | 05:52 |
| Dad_ | My CD drive isn't working. In KDE control panel it is set as Type: devfs Mount Point: /media/cdrom0 Device (by name): /dev/scd0 Options: utf8. Is that right? | 05:52 |
| andresj | leo_rockw: that's what I was about to talk about lol | 05:52 |
| andresj | I have, in gutsy | 05:53 |
| andresj | but they don't work | 05:53 |
| raket | is there a way to change the three left-right, and up-down arrows, in each window, to only two? | 05:53 |
| andresj | it says that it can't find the deb files | 05:53 |
| leo_rockw | i installed the alpha. it was ok, but way too buggy | 05:53 |
| andresj | leo_rockw: the alpha of amarok or kde? | 05:53 |
| leo_rockw | andresj: amarok | 05:53 |
| andresj | raket: yes. go to system settings, window decoration | 05:53 |
| leo_rockw | raket: you're talking about the buttons on top? | 05:54 |
| andresj | system settings->appearence->windows->buttons | 05:54 |
| leo_rockw | raket: what andresj said, haha | 05:54 |
| fildo | andresj: that polish | 05:54 |
| fildo | ? | 05:54 |
| Mimi | Heya, what can I use to record audio that is playing on my computer? (not streams, just all sounds that are being played) | 05:54 |
| fildo | or russian ? | 05:54 |
| leo_rockw | Dad_: what happens when you put a cd in? | 05:54 |
| andresj | fildo: no, that's short for Andres J. | 05:54 |
| fildo | ok | 05:54 |

| fildo | sorry for language | 05:56 |
| fildo | im kinda blind from the pub | 05:56 |
| andresj | lol no problem by me | 05:57 |
| raket | andresj: that wasn't it. I am talking about the buttons that appear between the sliders | 05:57 |
| andresj | raket: what sliders? | 05:57 |
| Dad_ | leo-rockw, Typo. That should be Dolphin does NOT see it. | 05:57 |
| raket | the ones you use to go up and down on a certain page | 05:57 |
| raket | or left right | 05:57 |
| andresj | ooohhh! | 05:57 |
| raket | so between them, there's three buttons instead of two | 05:58 |
| tuanpham | have lunch now :D | 05:58 |
| andresj | that should be in systemsettings->appearence->style->configure... | 05:58 |
| andresj | but only some styles have the option to change it | 05:58 |
| === pascalFR is now known as PascalFR | ||
| raket | and sometimes the lower one doesn't work | 05:58 |
| tuanpham | bye all | 05:58 |
| raket | andresj: lemme see | 05:58 |
| raket | thanks | 05:58 |
| * andresj notices that his download goes 1% per minute | 05:59 | |
| leo_rockw | Dad_: put a cd on the drive and see if dmesg tail says anything | 06:00 |
| raket | andresj: hell yeah! that was it! I guess now I'll have to restart the programs | 06:01 |
| andresj | it shouldn't be necessary | 06:01 |
| raket | or kde? | 06:01 |
| andresj | put apply | 06:01 |
| andresj | i mean, click apply :D | 06:01 |
| raket | I saw the change happen in the preview, but not anywhere else | 06:01 |
| raket | ahaha | 06:02 |
| raket | lemme restart kde, and I'll brb.. | 06:02 |
| leo_rockw | he didn't have to restart kde... lol | 06:03 |
| andresj | yeah he didnt | 06:03 |
| andresj | 83% at 10:03 | 06:03 |
| andresj | and 80% at 10:00 | 06:03 |
| leo_rockw | andresj: did you try kde4 before? | 06:03 |
| andresj | I am using it right now | 06:03 |
| leo_rockw | ooo | 06:03 |
| andresj | I have since christmas :D | 06:03 |
| andresj | well actually since new year | 06:04 |
| leo_rockw | i couldn't let go of my 3.5.9 | 06:04 |
| andresj | why? | 06:04 |
| leo_rockw | i couldn't do all the modifications i wanted. all those lil things i was telling Mimi about... | 06:04 |
| andresj | oh yeah yeah | 06:05 |
| leo_rockw | i couldn't change the "kicker" size, or hide it, or put it on top... | 06:05 |
| Dad_ | leo_rockw, What is dmesg tail? | 06:05 |
| andresj | many things were disabled by 4.0.0 | 06:05 |
| leo_rockw | i see a lot of potential, but i'll stay with 3.5.9 for now | 06:05 |
| andresj | leo_rockw: although that specific thing was fixed on 4.0.3 | 06:05 |
| raket | andresj: I reloaded the programs, and that was it | 06:05 |
| leo_rockw | andresj: yeah, i had kde 4 until the .0.3, then did a fresh install of hardy and didn't install it again | 06:05 |

| hi5 | Is anyone here familiar with incremental updating for apt etc? | 06:07 |
| leo_rockw | raket: i think it will be the best DE out there (and i'm including vi$ta's and os x's) but it is still buggy | 06:07 |
| andresj | yeah it will | 06:07 |
| andresj | lol | 06:07 |
| andresj | i cant wait for amarok and koffice 2 | 06:07 |
| andresj | they will be the killer apps | 06:07 |
| leo_rockw | andresj: there are like 40 SoC projects for KDE | 06:07 |
| raket | SoC ? | 06:08 |

| andresj | leo_rockw: what did you tihnk of it? | 06:08 |
| raket | (01:07:20 AM) leo_rockw: raket: i think it will be the best DE out there (and i'm including vi$ta's and os x's) but it is still buggy | 06:09 |
| raket | :) | 06:09 |
| leo_rockw | andresj: looks really good. way different than OO.o | 06:09 |
| andresj | yeah i don't like OO.o cuz it doesn't use styles | 06:09 |
| raket | is it any better? | 06:09 |
| leo_rockw | i installed OO.o 3beta yesterday too | 06:09 |
| andresj | nor gtk nor kde's | 06:10 |
| andresj | leo_rockw: how is it? i haven't seen that one | 06:10 |
| leo_rockw | andresj: yeah, that's what i don't like about it | 06:10 |
| leo_rockw | andresj: well, i can't really compare it with 2.4, since i barely use it. it looks pretty much the same, maybe a lil faster. | 06:10 |
| K`zan | Hi all, got a qx5 webcam (microscope) and linux knows what it is and loads a module and seems to be well. Tried xawtv to watch it but it keeps barfing out. Anyone know a good app to look at a webcam? | 06:11 |
| andresj | :D | 06:11 |
| andresj | camorama? | 06:11 |
| K`zan | never heard of it, but will check it out - THANKS! | 06:12 |
| andresj | it came automatically with my isntallation :D | 06:12 |
| hi5 | isn't that gnome? | 06:12 |
| mortici | why aren't my packages upgrading, it keeps stating 102 held back, why? | 06:12 |
| K`zan | Gnome isn't *all* bad :-) | 06:12 |
| hi5 | well.. no, i rather like it myself for it's high usability | 06:13 |
| andresj | mortici: maybe upgrade them manually, using aptitude? | 06:13 |
| hi5 | still, i could have sworn there was a kde webcam app | 06:13 |
| hi5 | i can't find it in repos tho | 06:13 |
| hi5 | gqcam maybe? | 06:13 |
| mortici | dependencie issues | 06:13 |
| mortici | i just upgraded from feisty to hardy | 06:13 |
| mortici | i just changed my sources to hardy is there anything else i might need to do? | 06:14 |
| leo_rockw | mortici: you can't upgrade from feisty to hardy | 06:14 |
| mortici | wow i fail | 06:14 |
| mortici | then do i have to upgrade to gutsy | 06:14 |
| mortici | then hardy | 06:14 |
| mortici | or do a fresh install? | 06:15 |
| leo_rockw | mortici: yeah | 06:15 |
| mortici | leo_rockw: yeah? | 06:15 |
| leo_rockw | mortici: you can only upgrade to hardy from gutsy or from the previous lts (was it dapper?) | 06:15 |
| leo_rockw | mortici: either upgrade to gutsy and then hardy or do a fresh install | 06:15 |
| mortici | ok cool ill try to upgrade to gutsy first | 06:15 |
| andresj | what is the last lst using? | 06:15 |
| andresj | what kde i mean | 06:15 |
| leo_rockw | andresj: idk, i started w/ feisty | 06:16 |
| andresj | i did too :D | 06:16 |
| Dad_ | leo_rockw, no, dmesg tail is not giving any information. To make sure, I inserted a bluetooth receiver. Ran dmesg tail. Then inserted a CD. Then ran dmesg tail again. | 06:16 |

| leo_rockw | hi5: ctrl + shift + r | 06:17 |
| leo_rockw | hi5: you're hitting ctrl+shift+t that's why it splits | 06:18 |

| hi5 | thanks! | 06:19 |
| leo_rockw | hi5: np | 06:19 |
| leo_rockw | mortici: was your feisty fully upgraded? | 06:19 |
| andresj | FINALLY! | 06:19 |
| andresj | hardy is downloaded! :D | 06:19 |
| leo_rockw | andresj: are you going to do a fresh install? | 06:20 |
| hi5 | i think my keyboard has issues... it must be thinking i'm hitting T. good to know how to undo it since i'm not replacing my laptop kb anytime soon | 06:20 |
| andresj | leo_rockw: yes | 06:20 |
| leo_rockw | hi5: switch to colemak :-P | 06:20 |
| Dad_ | leo_rockw, says Super multi LG SecurDisc on the front of the drive. | 06:21 |
| hi5 | colemak? | 06:21 |
| raket | is the Kubuntu search tool (ksearch) any good? I've been testing it and sometimes it doesn't return results that I know are there | 06:21 |
| mortici | leo_rockw: should have been i can set the sources back to fiesty try to upgrade it | 06:21 |
| mortici | and then try gutsy again | 06:21 |
| leo_rockw | hi5: different keyboard layout | 06:21 |
| raket | is there anything better? | 06:21 |
| leo_rockw | raket: locate | 06:21 |
| hi5 | lol, i just found colemak.com | 06:21 |
| hi5 | yeah, may as well switch do dvorak | 06:21 |
| leo_rockw | hi5: colemak is easier when switching from qwerty | 06:22 |
| raket | leo_rockw: I found 2 programs. one is "Tracker search tool" and the other "Search for files" | 06:23 |
| leo_rockw | raket: locate is from console | 06:23 |
| leo_rockw | raket: then there's strigi | 06:23 |
| raket | I'm not a console guy, yet | 06:23 |
| hi5 | why would switching to http://colemak.com/wiki/images/8/80/Colemak_layout_2.png alleviate a problem with the shift, ctrl, alt circuits being screwy!? lol | 06:23 |
| hi5 | oh well, your esoteric joke has at least versed me in yet another new keyboard layout :P | 06:24 |
| mortici | feisty is fully upgraded | 06:24 |
| mortici | trying gutsy upgrade again | 06:24 |
| leo_rockw | raket: locate is superb | 06:25 |
| mortici | ok gutsy is going | 06:25 |
| leo_rockw | raket: locate file | 06:25 |
| leo_rockw | hi5: you can use capslock as control in kde | 06:25 |
| leo_rockw | hi5: you don't need capslock anyway | 06:26 |
| raket | somebody just reminded me about beagle, so I'll try that before strigi. maybe I'll use locate soon, but right now I don't wanna waste too much time on the console. I wanna move to it gradually | 06:27 |
| leo_rockw | raket: locate is the simplest command there is, lol. strigi is for kde | 06:27 |
| grupohalis | . | 06:28 |
| leo_rockw | raket: those are indexers, they make your comp goes slower too... | 06:28 |
| leo_rockw | grupohalis: . indeed | 06:28 |
| leo_rockw | raket: with locate you update the database when you feel like it | 06:29 |
| leo_rockw | raket: ooo, there's kerry for beagle | 06:29 |
| raket | leo_rockw: well I know that windows has an index option that is easily disable-able :) so isn't there an option like that in beagle/strigi ? | 06:30 |
| leo_rockw | raket: mmhhh... there might be. i haven't used them. | 06:30 |
| mortici | holy chit, i shoud of upgraded to gutsy a while ago 1038 files need to be upgrade :( | 06:30 |
| raket | that would be a service anyway, so I should be able to turn it off | 06:30 |
| leo_rockw | raket: true | 06:30 |
| raket | what's kerry though? | 06:30 |
| leo_rockw | raket: kde frontend to beagle | 06:31 |
| raket | beagle that's integrated to kde? | 06:31 |
| raket | i don't get what's you're saying | 06:31 |
| leo_rockw | raket: beagle is only the service, you need smth to make it work. kerri is the app you use in kde to make beagle work | 06:32 |

| eagles0513875 | how do i get flash to work in firefox3 beta 5 | 07:18 |
| dennister | hi everyone...have some questions regarding hardy's users and groups... | 07:18 |
| noaXess | are ther some variables that i can use in shel programming.. lik eg. ${internal_ip} or like this? | 07:18 |
| raket | hey people, how can I mount my flash drive? I am in recovery mode (in xubuntu) and the thing won't mount itself automatically | 07:18 |
| raket | for some reason | 07:18 |
| raket | sorry for asking here, but nobody is responding in #xubuntu | 07:18 |
| noaXess | raket: sudo mount device | 07:19 |
| eagles0513875 | !flash | 07:19 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 07:19 |
| eagles0513875 | !gnash | 07:19 |
| ubottu | An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ | 07:19 |
| noaXess | just unplug it.. the do a tail -f /var/log/messages | 07:19 |
| dennister | for instance, there's a group1001 that is new to hardy, and sambashare, a new system group...what is their relationship? | 07:19 |
| noaXess | then plugin the flash to see what /dev it is | 07:20 |
| raket | noaXess: It says "can't find device in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" | 07:20 |
| raket | after sudo mount device | 07:20 |
| raket | shall I try the other one? | 07:20 |
| noaXess | raket: my exampla was only to show how.. normaly you need the device part like /dev/sdb | 07:20 |
| noaXess | first.. unplug the flash.. | 07:21 |
| noaXess | ok? | 07:21 |
| raket | ok | 07:21 |
| raket | and plug it back? | 07:21 |
| noaXess | then do: tail -f /var/log/messages | 07:21 |
| raket | oh | 07:21 |
| noaXess | ok? | 07:21 |
| raket | lemme see here | 07:22 |
| dennister | anyone know the relationship of group1001 to the system group sambashare? (only in hardy) | 07:22 |
| noaXess | raket: if the aboce tail command runs.. plugin the flash | 07:22 |
| noaXess | above.. | 07:22 |
| noaXess | then you will see, what devices it will have.. eg. /dev/sdb.. or something like tis | 07:22 |
| raket | noaXess: I did that, but it only show some activity that the pc was doing on some dates | 07:23 |
| raket | *shows | 07:23 |
| noaXess | no plugin the flash | 07:23 |
| raket | ok | 07:23 |
| noaXess | raket: now you should see what device it becomes | 07:23 |
| noaXess | .. /dev/xxx | 07:23 |
| raket | I don't see any changes | 07:24 |
| noaXess | hm.. | 07:24 |
| noaXess | stop the tail command | 07:24 |
| raket | is the file system important? | 07:24 |
| raket | I think it's fat or fat32 | 07:24 |
| raket | and how do I stop ctrl+c ? | 07:25 |
| noaXess | no.. run dmesg and check the latest entries | 07:25 |
| eagles0513875 | the fs would be important cuz now in vista u can format flash devices as ntfs | 07:25 |
| noaXess | yes | 07:25 |
| raket | I see | 07:25 |
| raket | ok | 07:25 |
| raket | now what!? | 07:25 |
| noaXess | pastbin the last dmesg lines.. www.pastebin.com | 07:25 |
| noaXess | or the last /var/log/messages lines | 07:26 |
| raket | oh jeez, I can't I am not using that machine, since it's messed up | 07:26 |
| raket | but the last activity that it shows is dated Mar 29 | 07:26 |
| noaXess | ?? | 07:26 |
| raket | what? | 07:27 |
| noaXess | .. now.. your problem.. why you are in recovery mode and try to access to a flash drive? | 07:27 |
| raket | Xubuntu freezes on the loading screen | 07:27 |
| raket | I think the motherboard is screwed up | 07:27 |
| raket | I only speculate though | 07:27 |
| raket | :) | 07:27 |
| eagles0513875 | something is uberly wrong | 07:28 |
| eagles0513875 | raket: u might have a bad install | 07:28 |
| eagles0513875 | raket: i would try a clean install from scratch | 07:28 |
| raket | nah, I tried other distros, they all froze | 07:29 |
| eagles0513875 | see if u encounter the same problem and also | 07:29 |
| eagles0513875 | raket: how olds the hard drive | 07:29 |
| noaXess | raket: what about running a live-cd? | 07:29 |
| raket | I just wanna back up some stuff | 07:29 |
| noaXess | then run a live-cd and backit up there | 07:29 |
| raket | the CD-ROM isn't recognized, even though BIOS finds it | 07:29 |
| raket | it's weird | 07:29 |
| leo_away | raket: do you get internets on the xubuntu recovery mode? | 07:30 |
| raket | no | 07:30 |
| raket | :( | 07:30 |
| leo_away | raket: did you try getting internets manually? | 07:30 |
| noaXess | boot from a live-cd and backup there | 07:30 |

| raket | let me try that, noaXess | 07:30 |
| noaXess | raket: in the live-cd you should see your local drive | 07:30 |
| raket | you mean, after I restart? | 07:31 |
| leo_away | o0Chris0o: edit the file? | 07:31 |
| raket | since, the thing won't boot | 07:31 |
| noaXess | raket: .. hm.. bad cd/dvd drive.. | 07:31 |
| raket | and it's not a problematic CD, since I just finished using it on this laptop | 07:31 |
| raket | I am not so sure about that, I still think it's the motherboard | 07:32 |
| noaXess | raket: but the drive.. replace it.. or.. | 07:32 |
| noaXess | the.. | 07:32 |
| noaXess | n | 07:32 |
| leo_away | raket: try dhclient on the terminal. that might give you internets. then you can pastebin your dmesg and we can make your flash drive work | 07:32 |
| raket | lemme try | 07:32 |
| raket | i think I got it | 07:33 |
| raket | yes! I got internet! | 07:33 |
| raket | leo_away I love you! | 07:33 |
| leo_away | ok, do dmesg tail > file | 07:33 |
| leo_away | and then sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 07:33 |
| leo_away | and... you know the rest | 07:33 |
| raket | file? like file.txt ? | 07:34 |
| raket | I haven't used that before, sorry | 07:34 |
| leo_away | raket: extensions are useless in gnu/linux, but that works | 07:34 |
| leo_away | raket: the > means that it sends the output to a file | 07:34 |
| raket | ah | 07:34 |
| raket | but is it a normal txt file? | 07:35 |
| leo_away | raket: yup | 07:35 |
| raket | ok | 07:35 |
| leo_away | raket: then install pastebinit so you can pastebin the file (since you can't copy paste) | 07:35 |
| raket | I can't ? why not? I can just go on the website | 07:36 |
| leo_away | raket: aren't you in terminal? | 07:36 |
| raket | oh, i started x | 07:36 |
| leo_away | raket: ooo, ok | 07:36 |
| leo_away | raket: yeah, then go to the website | 07:36 |
| raket | should I pick a syntax ? | 07:37 |
| leo_away | raket: nah | 07:37 |
| raket | ok | 07:37 |
| raket | pastebin.com/d7f92104 | 07:38 |
| leo_away | raket: do this in console | 07:39 |
| leo_away | raket: cd /media && mkdir flash && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/flash -o loop | 07:39 |
| raket | YES! that worked, AWESOME! | 07:42 |
| leo_away | raket: :-) | 07:42 |
| raket | whooooooooo! | 07:42 |
| leo_away | me! :-P | 07:43 |
| leo_away | raket: did you understand what i did? do you want me to explain it? | 07:43 |
| raket | haha, you! let me see | 07:44 |
| level1 | Hi, I created a new user and now whenever I run a command as root it doesnt do anything | 07:44 |
| raket | ok, so how did you know what to mount leo_away? | 07:45 |
| raket | you saw that in the pastebin text? | 07:45 |
| leo_away | raket: [ 1532.937655] sdb: sdb1 | 07:45 |
| leo_away | raket: the pastebin text shows that when you plugged in the drive. the command i gave you created a mount point, and then mounted /dev/sdb1 in the mount point created ( /media/flash) | 07:46 |
| raket | what is that anyway, sdb? | 07:46 |
| raket | yes yes | 07:46 |
| leo_away | raket: sdb is the second drive. sda is the first one. | 07:46 |
| leo_away | raket: sdb1 is the second drive, first partition | 07:47 |
| raket | oh! | 07:47 |
| raket | I see | 07:47 |
| raket | and what is that -o loop? | 07:47 |
| leo_away | raket: it could also have been hda, or hdb | 07:47 |
| raket | oh, so that's how they're organized | 07:48 |
| raket | very nice | 07:48 |
| leo_away | raket: i actually don't really know what the -o loop does. when i tried mounting my external drive it told me that it couldn't mount and suggested those flags | 07:48 |
| raket | yes, I guess it's one of *those* things | 07:49 |
| raket | :) | 07:49 |
| leo_away | raket: ooo, i found and explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_device | 07:50 |

| E_mE | okay.. i attempted to write alt+f2 and kwin --replace | 08:54 |
| E_mE | but the windows won't gain focus | 08:54 |
| E_mE | and so i cant type into the edit fields :/ | 08:54 |
| squee | Someone save me from insanity: How do I stop kde4 from making a noise every time i change workspaces? | 08:54 |
| === pramod is now known as PmDematagoda | ||
| Xbehave | E_mE, im not sure ive not got 8.04, try login in out perhaps it should just be kwin instead of kwin replace, perhaps move your /.kde/kwinrc to /.kde/kiwnrc~ and loose all your WM settings | 08:59 |
| o0Chris0o | alright this is getting really annoying, each time I try to open up an text document I get an error saying "The Desktop Entry File /usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/amarok_addaspodcast.desktop has an invalid menu entry addAsPodcast" any ideas how to stop this I have no idea why this error is happening | 09:00 |
| Xbehave | squee: last time i played with kde4 i think it was under the composting effects to trigger sounds | 09:00 |

| Xbehave | dolphin isnt really ment for kde3 IMO so probably something thats come from copying Konq stuff for it, if you have the time file a bug report see if theyll fix it | 09:21 |
| o0Chris0o | thanks Xbehave it worked much abliged! | 09:22 |
| o0Chris0o | :) | 09:22 |
| o0Chris0o | yeah not a problem | 09:22 |

| kos_tom | hi | 09:24 |
| kos_tom | I just installed Kubuntu, but I have troubles configuring the sound. I play to play on device hw:0,1 as recognized by ALSA. | 09:24 |
| ct529 | hi there | 09:24 |
| ct529 | anyone using rosegarden on kubuntu 804? | 09:25 |
| kos_tom | if I configure this in the KDE control center, all KDE notification sounds work properly. But not Kaffeine or Amarok. | 09:25 |
| kos_tom | it seems that Kaffeine and Amarok are using the Xine engine, trying to use ALSA directly instead of Arts. | 09:25 |
| kos_tom | why is the default configuration so broken ? | 09:25 |
| gh | i've tried to use rosegarden, even compiled it myself, a host of errors prevent me however, ct529 | 09:25 |
| gh | same box different distro works fine | 09:25 |
| ct529 | gh: :( | 09:26 |
| gh | not sure why and haven't given it much time | 09:26 |
| ct529 | gh: the only problem I have is the jack server | 09:26 |
| gh | yeah | 09:26 |
| kos_tom | (and same goes for amarok) | 09:26 |
| gh | same host of problems for me, reinstall jack a million times and rosegarden can never seem to link | 09:26 |
| gh | however, have you tried ubuntustudio? | 09:27 |
| ct529 | gh: nope, I need kubuntu for work | 09:27 |
| gh | seems to run on that | 09:27 |
| gh | ah | 09:27 |
| gh | also had problems with the proc sync rate. had to keep it above 1000 or rose just sorted froze | 09:28 |

| leo_away | sebbar: that's a good question... now you make me wonder too | 09:30 |

| ct529 | thanks gh | 09:32 |
| ct529 | it seems very complicated will have to postpone it .... | 09:32 |

| wirechief | kde4 is experimental at best | 10:09 |
| nixninja | yeah but I love the look and feel of it | 10:11 |
| ct529 | wirechief: but the menu is 20 times better than the old .... on mandriva they have adopted it for the 3.5.9 as well .... very successfull .... | 10:11 |
| nixninja | I think suse was first | 10:11 |
| xsacha | which menu? | 10:11 |
| xsacha | http://raptor-menu.org ? | 10:11 |
| xsacha | you guys talkin about kickoff right? | 10:11 |

| wirechief | like ff3 man that is a work in progress too | 10:12 |
| xsacha | ff3 is pretty much finished | 10:13 |
| wirechief | well got all my updates finished now back to sleep lol | 10:13 |
| ct529 | xsacha: I think so .... it works really well on the company laptop where we use mandriva | 10:13 |
| xsacha | its almost finished in its release schedule too | 10:13 |
| xsacha | they finished all the beta a while ago | 10:14 |
| ct529 | xsacha: wirechief: unfortunately on kubuntu we are a bit "back" .... :( | 10:14 |

| ct529 | xsacha: wirechief: we have been using it on mandriva for around 6 months very stable | 10:14 |
| wirechief | xsacha: well there are still lots of updates going on so it really wont be that long | 10:15 |

| haemogoblin | hi there | 10:52 |
| hellow | I have a quick question only someone that has could answer. | 10:52 |
| hellow | haemogoblin, you have? | 10:52 |
| haemogoblin | erm sorry no | 10:53 |
| hellow | oh, nm :O) | 10:53 |
| haemogoblin | :( | 10:53 |
| haemogoblin | i've been using kubuntu for all of 5 hours...sadly i dont think i could help you :S | 10:53 |
| hellow | well, if you want to vnc to one some day, lmk :) | 10:53 |
| haemogoblin | hehe | 10:53 |
| hellow | seriously, it's weird but nobody has evr replicated the zoom window function in os-x | 10:54 |
| K| | is there a way to disable that annoying kwallet password? | 10:54 |
| v6lur | K|: in kcontrol, tick off "enable kwallet subsystem" | 10:54 |
| haemogoblin | how do you increase the desktop res? | 10:54 |
| v6lur | don't remember exact location though | 10:54 |
| hellow | the maximize window philosophy of auld still plauges the non os-x world. | 10:54 |
| K| | v6lur: thanks, but i guess then all passwords are stored decentrally | 10:59 |
| v6lur | guess so, yes... | 10:59 |
| K| | still probably better, as long as all te apps can do so | 10:59 |
| leo_away | hellow: both compiz-fusion and kwin-kde4 have zooming | 11:02 |
| hellow | leo_away, have you used osx before? | 11:03 |
| leo_away | hellow: yup, it didn't have zooming when i used it | 11:03 |
| leo_away | hellow: i used cheetah | 11:03 |
| hellow | it did then | 11:04 |
| hellow | So, there's 3 buttons prominently featured in most every os x window. | 11:04 |
| leo_away | hellow: i hated every second of my os X esperience | 11:04 |
| K| | ah, meanwhile it's possible to have no password ("") in kwallet | 11:04 |
| leo_away | experience* | 11:04 |
| hellow | it's hard to explain, but do you know the functions of the red, yellow and green buttons? | 11:04 |
| K| | gotta try | 11:04 |
| hellow | leo_away: then you can't help me and have no idea what i'm on about :) | 11:04 |
| hellow | thanks tho | 11:04 |
| leo_away | hellow: i thought they were like maximize, minimize and close | 11:04 |
| leo_away | hellow: it wasn't my comp, so i really didn't use it much. | 11:05 |
| hellow | ah, you'd assume that but that third (zoom) button is way different | 11:05 |
| hellow | there is no maximize in osx | 11:05 |
| hellow | it seems odd for someone that's never used it i know | 11:05 |
| leo_away | hellow: oh, it's like one of those "right mouse button" things then... | 11:05 |
| hellow | as i say, hard to explain. maybe i should open up a mac i have lying around on vnc to you folks to know what i'm on about... :) | 11:05 |
| hellow | leo, no... | 11:06 |
| leo_away | hellow: :-P | 11:06 |
| hellow | it dynamically resizes the window based on it's contents | 11:06 |
| leo_away | hellow: ooo | 11:06 |
| hellow | anyway, hard to explain | 11:06 |
| hellow | but if you have a 342x128 image | 11:06 |
| leo_away | hellow: maybe w/ a youtube video? | 11:06 |
| hellow | maximizing to 1920x1200 sucks | 11:06 |
| hellow | yeah, i might do that | 11:06 |
| hellow | trust me, it kicks ass.. and, oddly even most mac heads don't notice it's different than maximize lol | 11:07 |
| leo_away | hellow: i'm going to sleep now, but i'm interested in that. if you find an example pm it and i'll see it when i wake up | 11:07 |
| hellow | it "justworks" (god i'm tired of that phrase) lol | 11:07 |
| leo_away | hellow: it's "just works (TM)" lol | 11:07 |
| hellow | leo_away: yeah, i'll post something if i find helpful info | 11:07 |
| hellow | it'd help us all if we had it :) | 11:07 |
| leo_away | hellow: yeah, i really didn't notice it wasn't like maximize | 11:07 |
| leo_away | hellow: but basically all i did was chat on that comp. i didn't buy it, didn't set it up, didn't own it... | 11:08 |
| leo_away | well... gnite (it's actually 7am... but gnite anyways) | 11:09 |
| K| | good night then | 11:09 |
| hellow | gnight (ten past three here) :O) | 11:09 |
| haemogoblin | how does one...increase his screen resolution in kubuntu | 11:12 |
| haemogoblin | :P | 11:12 |
| v6lur | haemogoblin, look for "system settings" in k-menu, open it, go to "monitor & display" | 11:13 |
| haemogoblin | thanks mate | 11:13 |
| v6lur | if you can't change the resolution there, then there are, well, other ways... | 11:16 |

| uhriventis | I got Kubuntu 7.10 right now I'm moving to Kubuntu 8.04 with the new kde 4 | 11:34 |
| eagles0513875 | turned out drivers were causing the bsod | 11:34 |
| uhriventis | What happens when you try to install? | 11:34 |
| IppatsuMan | sigma_, kwin is still called kwin in KDE4. You can check which kwin you are using by executing: ls -l /proc/$(ps aux | grep kwin | grep session | awk '{print $2}')/exe | 11:35 |
| emilsedgh | sigma_: man! its not similiar to vista! | 11:35 |
| imut | hiiiiiiiiiii | 11:35 |
| uhriventis | It's similiar to the new look that all three Window, Linux, and Mac put it | 11:35 |

| eagles0513875 | DexterF: thing is im not sure if its a bug relating to my hardware or just the video card | 11:39 |
| eagles0513875 | uhriventis: my video card and chipset is an nvidia chipset a go 6150 | 11:39 |
| DexterF | eagles0513875: uh, nono, *I* need to report one. but since you're about video card, too, what is your problem? | 11:40 |

| uhriventis | I have two vid cards. I had to switch to my onboard one. I used a old ati radeon 9250 256k. I read about a hundred forums with people having the same problem but no resolution. I once got it to boot fine but things were extremely slow. No 3d at all | 11:41 |

| DexterF | eagles0513875: odd, but different issue | 11:41 |
| uhriventis | I think your problem is Vid card | 11:41 |

| eagles0513875 | DexterF: its funny since i have an amd and amd seems to be supporting open suse it installs and x works | 11:43 |
| eagles0513875 | thing is i have weird issues with my audio and getting open gl working | 11:43 |
| uhriventis | You might have it looking for the wrong port too. I could get past the boot screen then I did dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and I noticed that it was looking for my PCI card in the wrong slot 1:0:0 when it should have been 2:9:0 | 11:43 |
| DexterF | eagles0513875: that's nothing to do with suse. probably they have X patched up someplace where kub doesn't | 11:43 |
| uhriventis | By the way I'm extremely new at this so my advice might now be as good as the others. | 11:44 |
| eagles0513875 | DexterF: im not worried bout this | 11:44 |
| uhriventis | But, it just seems by how you describe you problem I've had the same crap happen to me | 11:45 |

| beme | haemogoblin, i don't think we consider dreamweaver a good wedeveloping tool.. you might want to check what asalt.Com says | 11:53 |
| uhriventis | Alright it's registered | 11:54 |
| beme | http://www.osalt.com/dreamweaver | 11:54 |

| v6lur | beme, i'm not sure, but i think you have to upgrade to 6.10 first, then 7.04, 7.10, and then 8.04 | 12:03 |
| v6lur | not sure though, maybe you can skim some step(s) | 12:03 |
| beme | yeah no offence but i'm not that crazy it might work | 12:03 |
| beme | but i'm not going to waste the download on that, i'd sooner just build gentoo from source then | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | beme: id do a clean install. much more graceful | 12:04 |
| beme | i am reluctant to do that | 12:05 |

| v6lur | kubuntu 8.04 isn't lts, is it? | 12:12 |
| v6lur | ubuntu is, but not kubuntu | 12:12 |
| eagles0513875 | ? | 12:12 |
| v6lur | because of the inclusion of kde4 | 12:12 |
| beme | 8.04 has kde4? is it the only option? or can i use kde3.5 too? | 12:13 |
| nohelphere | what is the name of the mysql php package? | 12:13 |
| v6lur | yes you can | 12:13 |
| nohelphere | 8.04 comes with 3.5 or 4 | 12:13 |
| v6lur | kde3.5 is the default | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | v6lur: no if you download the kde4 iso | 12:14 |
| eagles0513875 | v6lur: there is a kde4 remix | 12:14 |
| eagles0513875 | ActionParsnip: whats the functionality like has it been getting better cuz last time i used kde4 wasnt able to right click and delete stuff off the desktop | 12:14 |
| v6lur | ah, yes, forgot to mention that :) | 12:14 |
| beme | yeah i'm not going kde4 for a long while it already crashed on me enough in testing | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | eagles0513875: no idea, i use kde3.5 | 12:15 |
| eagles0513875 | i only have kde4 to try amarok 2 | 12:15 |
| eagles0513875 | which i still have no sound | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | eagles0513875: the apps I use run fine in it so I'm not changing just yet | 12:15 |
| eagles0513875 | ok | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | eagles0513875: kde4 will auto install in its own sweet time. im in no rush | 12:15 |
| eagles0513875 | lol | 12:16 |
| nohelphere | doe sanyone know the name of the php mysql package?>? | 12:16 |

| n0th | hi guys. | 12:26 |
| uhriventis | Hey | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | !hi | BluesKaj | 12:26 |
| ubottu | BluesKaj: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 12:26 |
| n0th | i did not quite get till when the new kubuntu LTS supports kde3... | 12:27 |
| n0th | hi uhriventis | 12:27 |
| Dragnslcr | Kubuntu 8.04 isn't LTS | 12:27 |
| n0th | do they supportehm | 12:27 |
| n0th | huch\ | 12:27 |
| Dragnslcr | Exactly because of what you're saying | 12:27 |
| Dragnslcr | The KDE team won't be supporting KDE3 for 3 years, and KDE4 isn't ready yet | 12:27 |
| eagles0513875 | i read an article that hardy is lts | 12:28 |
| NickPresta | !hardy | 12:28 |
| ubottu | Hardy Heron is the codename for the current release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) You can get it now from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu but please use !torrents | 12:28 |
| n0th | ehym so 8.04 is not LTS? | 12:28 |
| uhriventis | I'm going giong to try the new KDE | 12:28 |
| Dr_willis | Ubuntu is.. Kubuntu is not. | 12:28 |
| n0th | -y | 12:28 |
| BluesKaj | hiya NickPresta. eagles0513875, ActionParsnip ...was reading the news | 12:28 |
| n0th | ach ok so now i get it... so no long-term support for kde3 in ubuntu? | 12:28 |
| neville_ | Okay I was able to connect to my router, and ping it successfully, but I can't connect to the internet. What could be the problem there? | 12:29 |
| eagles0513875 | BluesKaj: is it lts or not | 12:29 |
| beme | router | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | neville_: can you connect to the www from other pcs | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | neville_: can you ping websites from the box that will not browse the www? | 12:30 |
| neville_ | Yes, this one for instance (it's using wired though) | 12:30 |
| neville_ | Nope, just ping the router and other computers | 12:30 |
| BluesKaj | eagles0513875, Dragnslcr is correct from whay i"ve heard about LTS, ubuntu is LTS , kubuntu isn't | 12:31 |
| uhriventis | What the hell is LTS? | 12:31 |
| BluesKaj | Long term Support | 12:31 |
| uhriventis | Oh | 12:31 |
| wirechief-intel | good morning BluesKaj | 12:32 |
| uhriventis | Well, the small kubuntu group supports themselves by what I've experienced. really nice peeps. | 12:32 |
| BluesKaj | if you want LTS on 8.04 , then it's ubuntu | 12:32 |
| BluesKaj | morning wirechief | 12:32 |
| nanothief | when running kubuntu hardy kde3, from ProcessTable, Xorg is reported as having a VmSize of 957,752. Is this normal? (it seems very high to me) | 12:32 |
| beme | uhriventis, yeah who else is going to do it | 12:32 |
| uhriventis | Dunno | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | neville_: can you tracert to www.google.com | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | neville_: if you get the ip of google, try pinging that instead of the name | 12:34 |
| uhriventis | I just pinged them their ip address is 72.14.253.104 if that was needed | 12:35 |
| neville_ | thanks, will check in a second | 12:35 |
| neville_ | Okay, it just says "connect: network is unreachable" but pinging the gateway works | 12:38 |
| fizzer | !sound | 12:38 |
| ubottu | 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 | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | neville_: can we have a pastebin of your ifconfig please | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | !paste | neville_ | 12:38 |
| ubottu | neville_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 12:38 |
| neville_ | Knetworkmanager isn't registering any active devices, either, but the hardware shows up in restricted drivers manager and kwifi detects the network just fine | 12:39 |
| neville_ | Sure | 12:39 |
| neville_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/11095/ | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | neville_: cool, ok how is it supposed to connect. Wired or wireless? | 12:41 |
| neville_ | wireless | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | neville_:ok, can we have a pastebin of /etc/network/interfaces | 12:42 |
| neville_ | Sure, just give me a second, have to take the garbage out -_-v | 12:43 |
| Dr_willis | ack! its garbage day here also! | 12:43 |
| Dr_willis | BRB@! | 12:43 |
| uhriventis | Thurdays here | 12:44 |
| * beme double checks, ah friday no stress for garbage then | 12:44 | |
| * ActionParsnip has his bin on the street 24/7 so doesnt worry | 12:44 | |
| neville_ | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11097/ | 12:47 |
| Dr_willis | we have new 'robotic' trash trucks - we have to use the special city trash cans now. | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | neville_: you dont have the essid specified in interfaces but network manager should let you scan, i'd move the auto ath0 to above iface ath0 inet static | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | neville_: this may help too http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=684495 | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | neville_: you could also rename interfaces to something like interfaces.old and reboot. you will get a skeleton file which you can configure using network manager | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | neville_: if the file still isnt cool, rename the file back after removing the new one | 12:51 |
| neville_ | Okay, i'll give that guide a quick run through for starters, then if push comes to shove I'll try it the latter way you mentioned | 12:54 |
| neville_ | Thanks for the help | 12:54 |
| * ScorpKing forgot to place the carbage outside today.. | 12:56 | |

| prateek | can i do it for those NTFS partitions? | 13:25 |
| ScorpKing | prateek: you can mount it with your uuid | 13:26 |
| prateek | how how? | 13:26 |
| ScorpKing | prateek: for egsample - sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/hdb1 /media/windows | 13:26 |
| ScorpKing | exsample* | 13:27 |
| Dr_willis | Hmmm.. Who do i smack for the idea of a device showing up as ' system:/media/sdf1 ' when in fact its actually been mounted to /media/disk :) | 13:27 |
| prateek | english is funny languae | 13:27 |

| haemogoblin | Are they still around? | 13:28 |
| prateek | Hey it unmounted it :( | 13:29 |
| Dr_willis | ScorpKing, it shouldent matter.. It would make MUCh more sence for it to be using system:/media/disk in both cases.. or /media/sdf1 in both cases. | 13:29 |
| ScorpKing | Dr_willis: i'd look in /etc/udev/rules.d/<something> for other options | 13:29 |
| ScorpKing | Dr_willis: i agree | 13:29 |
| eagles0513875 | haemogoblin: install tips for what | 13:29 |

| tinin | prateekjainbit should work if you ticked | 15:13 |
| prateekjain | no no | 15:14 |
| prateekjain | i wish to know how can i change ownership | 15:14 |
| tinin | prateekjain so then use the wonderful configuration tools avaliable in kde | 15:14 |
| tinin | control ccenter | 15:14 |
| tinin | advanced | 15:14 |
| tinin | hard drives | 15:15 |
| tinin | and then you should check if that partition is marked as writeable | 15:15 |
| genii | The ownership of partitions is assigned to root every boot by the udev subsystem. You can't easily (permanantly) change the ownership of them without messing with udev. Better to make a folder on it and assign that to whichever user is supposed to write there | 15:15 |
| seeilin | hi | 15:16 |
| tinin | prateekjain genii is right | 15:16 |
| prateekjain | genii: but whatif i allraedy have a folder | 15:16 |
| tinin | make a folder there and do what you want with it | 15:16 |
| tinin | change the permissions to the folder | 15:16 |
| genii | prateekjain: Then use chown there to make it owned by who is supposed to write there | 15:17 |
| tinin | not to the harddrive | 15:17 |
| prateekjain | genii: i didnt get it | 15:18 |
| tinin | prateekjain first try the system configuration pannel | 15:19 |
| tinin | and check if that partition is marked as writeable | 15:19 |
| tinin | then you could just open konqueror as root (do: sudo konqueror) and modify the permissions of the folder (right click) to your user | 15:20 |
| tinin | is should be easy | 15:21 |
| prateekjain | ok | 15:21 |
| prateekjain | lemme give it a try | 15:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Its 'best' to learn to do some things from the shell. :) | 15:22 |

| prateekjain | see there are two boxes in bottom...Owner And group | 15:22 |
| prateekjain | i should set both prateek...right? | 15:22 |
| tinin | it should work well if you do that | 15:23 |
| prateekjain | tinin: its not! | 15:23 |
| tinin | sorry, I don't know more | 15:24 |
| prateekjain | when i click OK and then see props again...the values are chaged to root | 15:24 |
| tinin | try to rebbot maybe | 15:24 |
| prateekjain | hydrogen: | 15:24 |
| tinin | or use ext3 if you can, so you won't have headaches or need to defragment | 15:25 |
| prateekjain | tinin: thats wrong..a problem is to be "solved" not "changed" | 15:25 |
| prateekjain | ok..thank u guyz | 15:25 |

| wesley | yeah kubuntu screwed kde 4.0.4 | 15:37 |
| tinin | It would be great to have test packages for kde4.1 svn the same way amarok2 svn (neon) has | 15:38 |
| wesley | tinin i know but kde 4.1 is not useable for produvity right now its still in heavy deb | 15:39 |
| wesley | dev | 15:39 |
| wesley | about 2 month and a half kde 4.1 will be there | 15:41 |
| tinin | opensuse has kde 4.1 svn packages avaliable | 15:42 |
| tinin | they are nice | 15:42 |
| BizMan2008 | hey i just installed a fresh kubuntu 8.04 w/ kde4 ... now a few things are missing that i had before, volume keys dont work.... and no battery meter :( | 15:42 |
| BizMan2008 | any ideas? | 15:42 |
| tinin | yeah | 15:43 |
| tinin | use kde 3 | 15:43 |
| tinin | for ther moment | 15:43 |
| BizMan2008 | lol | 15:43 |
| BizMan2008 | the volume keys is not a distro issue | 15:43 |
| Pramod | it's just a driver issue... | 15:44 |
| wesley | http://dot.kde.org/1210150521/ they recommend to upgrade to 4.0.4 so kubuntu did mess up with wanting to update Qt 4.3 | 15:44 |
| BizMan2008 | it worked in 7.10 w/ kde3 | 15:44 |
| BizMan2008 | even when i had kde4 side by side it worked | 15:44 |
| BizMan2008 | same thing with the battery daemon | 15:44 |
| wesley | KDE 4.0.4 is still based on Qt 4.3 as is the case with the whole KDE 4.0 series. So put on your update shoes and install 4.0.4 today. | 15:45 |
| BizMan2008 | i have 4.0.4 already | 15:45 |
| BizMan2008 | no difference | 15:45 |
| obvio171 | i ran a full-upgrade on kubuntu-kde4-amd64 and now kwin won't start on its own. does anybody know what could be wrong? | 15:45 |
| wesley | wich distro | 15:45 |
| wesley | bizman | 15:45 |
| BizMan2008 | kubuntu 8.04 | 15:46 |
| BizMan2008 | i dont mind it not being as usable as kde 3.5, but these other things i dont see why they dont work, and again it worked when i had kde 4 side by side with kde 3 | 15:48 |
| wesley | BizMan did you upgrade Qt 4.3 | 15:49 |
| jabba | is there a reason resize2fs was broken out of e2fsadm? | 15:49 |
| BizMan2008 | didnt it do it automatically with the 4.0.4 update? | 15:49 |
| godlyserver | hmm my mouse keeps frezzing every 5 minutes and cant figure out what causes it ... | 15:49 |
| Tw|sT | hey, how do you disable the Kubuntu (& Ubuntu) load screens? I'd like to see all my services, devices and so on as they load. | 15:49 |
| wesley | yeah and that causing qiut some problems BizMan | 15:50 |
| BizMan2008 | hmm | 15:50 |
| BizMan2008 | so what do i do | 15:50 |
| * Tw|sT hits google in search of the answer | 15:53 | |
| godlyserver | colour test one | 15:53 |
| stdin | Tw|sT: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove all the instances of "splash" | 15:54 |
| wesley | stdin when are they going to fix kde 4.0.4 i am sure of i Qt 4.4 is causing those problems | 15:55 |
| stdin | wesley: maybe if you assigned the bug to the right package then the relevant people would see it, and file a bug upstream | 15:56 |
| === obvio171_ is now known as obvio171 | ||
| wesley | stdin where should i assigned it to ? | 15:56 |
| stdin | if you think Qt is the problem, to qt4-x11 | 15:56 |
| stdin | if you think kdelibs is the problem, kde4libs | 15:57 |
| wesley | its related to kde 4.0.4 | 15:57 |
| wesley | so kde4base or what ? | 15:57 |
| stdin | I told you the options | 15:58 |
| stdin | <stdin> if you think Qt is the problem, to qt4-x11 | 15:58 |
| stdin | <stdin> if you think kdelibs is the problem, kde4libs | 15:58 |
| wesley | stdin okay | 15:58 |
| wesley | so do i need to fil that by project or psckage ? | 15:59 |
| stdin | they are the packages | 15:59 |

| eidolon | was requested to move this quesiton over to here, i'll re-paste: | 16:04 |
| eidolon | so, i ahve a problem / question about adept updater. I frequently see updates come over - which is just fine. I click on one of hte packages, select 'details' and click on 'developer changelog' - and most of the time it's empty. So how do i find out why this update is being installed? example is today i have an update to foomatic-filters - i don't know what this update is, why i'm installing it, or what changed. | 16:04 |
| wesley | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/228710 stdin here you have the bug report | 16:04 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 228710 in qt4-x11 "kde 4.0.4 got conflicts with Qt 4.4" [Undecided,New] | 16:04 |
| stdin | you don't have to post it twice | 16:04 |
| wesley | thats what you said stdin post it in right | 16:05 |
| wesley | part of lauchpad | 16:05 |
| eidolon | well, different channel. it's always tricky to figure out if a repost is necessary. i dont know how much crossover ther eis between channels (and, honestly, it' snot my problem if someone is monitoring both channels, and they get 2 copies) | 16:05 |
| stdin | you created another report, you could have just changed the source package from the original | 16:05 |
| stdin | but I've marked the other as a dup now | 16:06 |
| eidolon | anyway - the 'changelog' issue is a Known Issue [tm]? | 16:06 |
| wesley | i dint know i just could change it | 16:06 |
| stdin | weedar: see the little arrow by the source package name, you can click that | 16:06 |
| stdin | wesley: ^ | 16:07 |
| wesley | but i believe thats the problem and it realy needs to fix doesnt look good on kde4 a update with is not as good as 4.0.3 | 16:08 |
| bleaked | how does one configure firefox to associate mimetypes with kde applications? i don't mind doing it by hand, i just want to be able to open files from the download dialog. (i really wish gnome and kde could standardize things like this and file pickers..but oh well..) | 16:10 |
| Tw|sT | stdin: Thanks! | 16:11 |
| Tw|sT | :) | 16:11 |
| eagles0513875 | any java programmers in here | 16:12 |
| Tw|sT | yeah, that's mucho better | 16:12 |

| navetz | is there a remount command to remount my cdrom drive? | 16:21 |
| jabba | !mount | navetz | 16:22 |
| ubottu | navetz: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Kubuntu, go to System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Disks & Filesystem. See also !fstab and !DiskMounter | 16:22 |
| jabba | navetz: see also mount(8) | 16:22 |
| BluesKaj | I have to state the obvious, navetz , it shows the cdrom as unmounted when there's no media in it | 16:23 |
| jabba | well then. | 16:23 |
| BluesKaj | no patience | 16:24 |
| jabba | BluesKaj: it took longer to start konversation, join, and ask than it did to do "man 8 mount" and then "/remount" | 16:24 |
| BluesKaj | sometimes jabba , one has to assume that some visitors are newbs , hence telling them to use man pages means nothing to them | 16:26 |
| jabba | BluesKaj: which is why i pulled the factoid. | 16:26 |
| BluesKaj | factoids are bit too technical sometimes | 16:27 |
| jabba | BluesKaj: googling for remount+cdrom+kubuntu also provides meaninful data. | 16:27 |
| jabba | i do understand benefit-of-the-doubt, but at some point users do have to help themselves, too. | 16:28 |
| BluesKaj | meaningful data is what to a newb :) | 16:28 |
| TheFuzzball | Hi, I am looking for Qt 4.4 packages for Kubuntu, does anyone know a source? | 16:30 |
| ASUS-tek | nope | 16:31 |
| Jucato | TheFuzzball: enable hardy-backports | 16:32 |
| m0nkfish | hi | 16:33 |
| TheFuzzball | Jucato, I have hardy backports | 16:33 |
| Jucato | just update then? it should be there according to http://www.kdedevelopers.org/blog/57 | 16:34 |
| TheFuzzball | Jucato, that says Neon has them, but that is of no use to me | 16:35 |
| Jucato | TheFuzzball: see first sentence | 16:35 |
| TheFuzzball | Jucato, "entering" they are not there | 16:35 |
| TheFuzzball | and I need to compile KDE 4.1 trunk | 16:36 |
| Jucato | maybe wait for a bit? (or you can always compile) | 16:36 |
| TheFuzzball | I am using an old computer and It takes ages to compile Qt | 16:38 |
| Jucato | according to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-backports/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz it should already be in hardy-backports. did you apt-get update first before checking? | 16:39 |
| TheFuzzball | yea | 16:39 |
| TheFuzzball | I'll doublecheck | 16:39 |
| TheFuzzball | I think I know what my problem is... | 16:40 |
| Jucato | if you're using a mirror, maybe it hasn't hit yet | 16:40 |
| Jucato | what? | 16:40 |
| TheFuzzball | ...I installed Qt 4.4 RC and that is stopping me from getting 4.4 from backports | 16:41 |
| TheFuzzball | I would have thought it would detect a newer version though | 16:41 |
| Jucato | maybe... | 16:41 |
| heirrook | when I start kde I get an error "KDEinit could not launch x" x = any application. it seems to be when switching between plugged in power and battery power is when this occurs. any help appreciated | 16:43 |
| heirrook | this error is when I try to start any application by the way | 16:43 |
| m0nkfish | i have a pretty simple question i think | 16:44 |
| m0nkfish | how do i change the type of indentation in kate? | 16:44 |
| m0nkfish | cause it uses tabs at the moment (afaik) and i would prefer just a doublespace | 16:45 |
| fkeaz | how do i tell firefox to use kmail rather than 'evolution' ? | 16:45 |
| heirrook | fkeaz: Do you mean when you start a new email or open one that it opens with evolution? | 16:46 |
| fkeaz | heirrook: for mailto: links | 16:46 |
| Jucato | m0nkfish: Settings -> Configure Kate -> Editing and Indentation options | 16:47 |
| heirrook | fkeaz: I believe that is going to be to just set your default email client in kde | 16:48 |
| Wise-Guy | can i ask for help enabling my DVD drive, resetting my screen resolution, and changing my keyboard configuration setupÉ | 16:48 |
| m0nkfish | awesome thanks jucato | 16:48 |
| berkes | I am evaluating kdevelop as an IDE; Always used Kate and/or quanta for my ruby on rails and PHP work, but.... | 16:48 |
| Wise-Guy | É is a question mark | 16:49 |
| berkes | ..somehow kdevelop get extremely slow, eating 100% CPU at times. I have a feeling that it is trying to update the structure-view or so. Is this a known issue? | 16:49 |
| Jucato | berkes: the good news is that kdevelop uses katepart, so you still have almost everything you love about kate in it | 16:49 |
| Jucato | there's a #kdevelop channel too | 16:50 |
| guilhermeblanco | zubin: you there? | 16:50 |
| berkes | and if so, how can i fix this? Should I disable some plugin? | 16:50 |
| heirrook | wise-guy: either edit xorg.conf or go to control settings from kmenu | 16:50 |
| Wise-Guy | heirrook, i dont know how to edit or what xorg.conf is | 16:50 |
| berkes | Jucato: thans, will look there. And yea, I know it uses katepart. Its what I luuuuve about KDE: anything you use feels familiar :) | 16:50 |
| Wise-Guy | when i go to the control settings and see the DVD drive, it says disabled | 16:50 |
| Wise-Guy | one of the settings is wrong, i don know what to change it to | 16:51 |
| heirrook | for the keyboard conf and display you should probably use control center from kmenu | 16:51 |
| guilhermeblanco | For the interested of video mantainers... The current pre-release video packages update fixed the DVD playback in my environment. | 16:51 |
| Wise-Guy | i dont see a control center, i see system settings tho | 16:52 |
| heirrook | oh, sorry I believe it is their then for the keyboard and resolution. what is the problem with your dvd drive? | 16:53 |
| Wise-Guy | heirrook, it says in the system settings that it disabled | 16:54 |
| heirrook | do you have the right driver for it? | 16:54 |
| Wise-Guy | i dont know how to enable it | 16:54 |
| Wise-Guy | heirrook, i used it to install the burned DVD of Hardy Heron | 16:54 |
| Wise-Guy | but now it wont read anything | 16:54 |
| Wise-Guy | i suspect i screwed something up in the settings | 16:54 |

| The_ManU_212 | hi | 17:06 |
| The_ManU_212 | bug in audacity hardy heron 8.04 | 17:06 |
| Wise-Guy | ok, that made it say a whole lot of things, none of which i understand | 17:07 |
| The_ManU_212 | disabled selection of input devices, this is becasue of a wrong compilation with portaudio v19 i read | 17:07 |
| The_ManU_212 | some one has experience | 17:07 |
| The_ManU_212 | i use a perfectly recognized realtek ac 97 soundchip older audacity versions work | 17:07 |
| The_ManU_212 | and why uses ubuntu beta versions? | 17:07 |

| wirechief-intel | BluesKaj: it mess's up on all three computers of different brands. | 17:32 |
| wirechief-intel | BluesKaj: but with the imgburn you have to make a setting in devices otherwise your writer is not recognized. | 17:33 |
| wirechief-intel | yurimxpmxman have you ever tried imgburn ? it runs in windows and with wine in linux | 17:34 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, I wonder if it has to do with libk3b2..there were some bugs | 17:35 |
| wirechief-intel | BluesKaj: well i would have to check but i think the oldversion of k3b worked fine | 17:36 |
| BluesKaj | strange tho wirechief-intel , i haven't heard of many probs with k3b , usually it's due to missing codecs etc | 17:38 |
| wirechief-intel | BluesKaj: may have to try that, put a old version of sidux or even knoppix on the desktop and see if i can burn kbuntu 8.04 on it. | 17:38 |

| Neo_The_User | Will there be Kubuntu 8.10? if so, will it have LTS? | 17:50 |
| Jucato | BluesKaj: updates from the pre-release (ubuntu+1) base | 17:50 |
| guilhermeblanco | BluesKaj: yeah... but I do not care... as long as it works... =P | 17:50 |

| talavis | i am unable to compile qt4 applications since i updated to the 4.4 packages, any ideas what to do? | 17:51 |
| Neo_The_User | I am thinking about witching from Ubuntu 8.04 (gnome) to Kubuntu only if there will be a Kubuntu version 9 | 17:51 |
| Jucato | talavis: what errors are you receiving? check if you're using the correct version of Qt (qmake -v) | 17:51 |
| Jucato | Neo_The_User: why wouldn't there be? | 17:52 |
| Neo_The_User | Until Kubuntu 9.04 I am staying with Ubuntu 8.04 | 17:52 |
| Jucato | that's still next year though | 17:52 |
| Jucato | 8.10 comes first | 17:52 |
| Neo_The_User | Jucato, is kubuntu popular? | 17:52 |
| Jucato | One of the most popular KDE-centric distros, I'd say | 17:52 |
| talavis | jucato:thanks, gotta change that symlink | 17:52 |
| Neo_The_User | is Kubuntu made up of highly eperianced developors? | 17:53 |
| Jucato | talavis: I think /etc/alternatives would take care of that | 17:53 |
| Tw|sT | I second that. Locally, it's the most popular distro (Little Rock, AR) | 17:53 |

| BonesolTeraDyne | Neo_The_User: 8.10 is next, then 9.04, 9.10, and so on | 17:54 |
| Neo_The_User | are you sure? | 17:54 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | yes. why? | 17:54 |
| Tw|sT | yeah... based on their history so far, that would make sense | 17:54 |
| Neo_The_User | oh thank god! KUBUNTU 9.04! | 17:54 |
| Jucato | ... | 17:54 |
| Neo_The_User | I want KDE 4 remix fully stable. thats why | 17:55 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | ... | 17:55 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | ah | 17:55 |
| talavis | jucato: thanks again, works fine now | 17:55 |
| Neo_The_User | otherwise i am staying with ubuntu 8.04 because it is stable | 17:55 |
| Jucato | talavis: no problem. it's a common error :) | 17:55 |
| guilhermeblanco | Neo_The_User: afaik, 8.10 will have KDE4 by defult | 17:55 |
| Tw|sT | I see. Yeah, by next year KDE4 should be stable | 17:55 |
| Neo_The_User | I want stable yet highly attractive graphics | 17:55 |
| guilhermeblanco | *default | 17:55 |
| Jucato | Neo_The_User: that doesn't depend on Kubuntu at all, but on KDE | 17:55 |
| Tw|sT | yeah, totally | 17:55 |
| Neo_The_User | I just want Kubuntu to be highly attractive while very stable | 17:56 |
| Neo_The_User | thats why I am waiting | 17:56 |
| Jucato | what Kubuntu will be able to ship totally depends on what KDE releases. but by 9.04, KDE 4.2 would have been out anyway | 17:56 |
| Neo_The_User | Jucato, do you use Kubuntu 8.04? | 17:56 |
| fgh | I'm booted into a Kubuntu LiveCD right now, and I'm trying to use amarok to play music on the network and it's not working. "No suitable input plugin. This often means that the url's protocol is not supported." Is something setup wrong by default or is http, ftp actually not supported? | 17:56 |
| Jucato | on my laptop | 17:56 |
| Tw|sT | I think I see where your going with this... so that the whole distro is simply solid... solid enough to start pushing it onto formerly Windows only users. | 17:56 |
| Neo_The_User | Do the majority of people in this channel use the remix or hardy or dapper???????????????????? | 17:57 |
| Pennycook | Neo_The_User: If attractiveness is all you're looking for, couldn't you install Kubuntu 8.04 (with KDE 3.5.9), install Compiz (for desktop effects) and then skin it? | 17:57 |
| * Tw|sT uses 8.04 on 1 system, and 7.10-x64 on another | 17:57 | |
| Jucato | Neo_The_User: Kubuntu 8.04 comes with both KDE 3.5.9 and KDE 4.0.3. if you need stability, you can use KDE 3.5.9 | 17:57 |
| Neo_The_User | Pennycook, doesn't KDE 4.0 have more graphics than 3.5? | 17:57 |
| CrunchyFerrett | whats the command to release a locked package database? | 17:57 |
| Pennycook | What do you mean by "more graphics"? o_O | 17:57 |
| Neo_The_User | I know Jucato. | 17:58 |
| Neo_The_User | PennyCook, i mean more desktop effects. | 17:58 |
| Jucato | !aptfix | CrunchyFerrett | 17:58 |
| ubottu | CrunchyFerrett: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 17:58 |
| Neo_The_User | like colors and shit | 17:58 |
| Pennycook | Actually, no. Compiz has far more. | 17:58 |
| Neo_The_User | does Ubuntu 8.04 have compiz? | 17:58 |
| fgh | Neo, with all due respect, are you just lonely? | 17:58 |
| Tw|sT | yes | 17:58 |
| Pennycook | Afaik you can install it on whatever. | 17:58 |
| Neo_The_User | can i install it via synaptic? | 17:58 |
| Tw|sT | yes | 17:58 |
| Neo_The_User | cool. i'll go download it | 17:59 |
| Tw|sT | do a synaptic search for compiz | 17:59 |
| Neo_The_User | thats guys | 17:59 |
| Tw|sT | :) | 17:59 |
| * Tw|sT bows, humbly | 17:59 | |
| Neo_The_User | *thanks | 17:59 |
| Neo_The_User | installing now | 18:00 |
| Neo_The_User | hey guys, is KDE 4.0 stable at all? | 18:00 |
| Jucato | stable? yes. complete? no. finished? absolutely not. | 18:01 |
| Neo_The_User | when is the next LTS Kubuntu version? | 18:01 |
| Jucato | no one except Canonical knows | 18:01 |
| Pennycook | The only criticism I have of KDE4 is that some things aren't as simple as they should be (yet). The sudo path is a bit funny, for example. | 18:01 |
| Neo_The_User | Can i speak with him? | 18:01 |
| CrunchyFerrett | well lets find him and beat the answer out of him | 18:01 |
| Tw|sT | I'd have to agree with Jucato there. It's stable, but it needs a lot of work to really make it seem complete. | 18:01 |
| Jucato | Neo_The_User: Canonical is a company | 18:01 |
| Neo_The_User | ohhhhhhhhhhhh. | 18:02 |
| Tw|sT | I've used it here, and personally, I still prefer KDE 3.5 | 18:02 |
| Jucato | !canonical | Neo_The_User | 18:02 |
| ubottu | Neo_The_User: Canonical Ltd. is committed to the development, distribution and promotion of open source software products, and to providing tools and support to the open source community. It is the driving force behind the Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Edubuntu Operating Systems. Canonical's website is at http://www.canonical.com/ | 18:02 |
| Neo_The_User | how can i contact them? | 18:02 |
| Tw|sT | but then again, I prefer stability over flashy | 18:02 |
| Neo_The_User | i love flashy and stability. what should i do? | 18:02 |
| jdavies | Neo_The_User: see the website | 18:02 |
| Tw|sT | yup | 18:02 |
| Jucato | what do you need to contact them for? | 18:03 |
| Neo_The_User | I need to ask when the next LTS IS | 18:03 |
| Neo_The_User | is | 18:03 |
| Tw|sT | It'll probably be like last around, and be a 10.x build. The last LTS before 8.04 was dapper. | 18:04 |
| fildo | n while ur there ask them to hurry up cause u need it personally to be stable | 18:04 |
| Pennycook | Neo_The_User: Kubuntu 8.04 is supported until October 2009, which is exactly when Dapper is supported until. So I'd imagine... then? | 18:04 |
| fildo | n see what reply u get | 18:04 |
| Neo_The_User | 9.04 i hope will be LTS | 18:04 |
| Jucato | no | 18:04 |
| Neo_The_User | there is no contact us | 18:04 |
| Tw|sT | I doubt it will be since 7.04 wasn't | 18:04 |
| fgh | I'm booted into a Kubuntu LiveCD right now, and I'm trying to use amarok to play music on the network and it's not working. "No suitable input plugin. This often means that the url's protocol is not supported." Is something setup wrong by default or is http, ftp actually not supported? I've asked in #amarok and it appears nobody's active there. | 18:05 |
| fgh | I'm having difficulty getting information online except "might be bugs in xine" which, c'mon... kubuntu ships with this? Seems it would be something a work-around exists for but I guess anything's possible. | 18:05 |
| Jucato | they will announce it when they've decided. | 18:05 |
| Neo_The_User | 9.10 be LTS? | 18:05 |
| Jucato | !lts | Neo_The_User | 18:05 |
| ubottu | Neo_The_User: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 18:05 |
| Neo_The_User | i know ubottu! STFU | 18:05 |
| stdin | !stfu | Neo_The_User | 18:05 |
| ubottu | Neo_The_User: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. | 18:05 |
| Jucato | !language | Neo_The_User | 18:05 |
| ubottu | Neo_The_User: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 18:05 |
| Neo_The_User | ubottu shut up | 18:05 |
| ubottu | Factoid shut up not found | 18:05 |
| fildo | i find that fiesty is the most reliable and stable version in kubuntu for me | 18:05 |
| * fgh sets ignore Neo_The_User a while ago | 18:06 | |
| stdin | as I like to say, if you can't say anything nice, get muted :) | 18:06 |
| Tw|sT | what a jerk! What was with those questions? Is he just retarded? | 18:06 |
| fildo | lol | 18:06 |
| fgh | As I said earlier, "Neo, with all due respect, are you just lonely?" | 18:07 |
| Tw|sT | I mean, I like to be helpful... by man! | 18:07 |
| Tw|sT | lol | 18:07 |
| fildo | hehe | 18:07 |
| fildo | some people ask the mod ridiclous questions | 18:07 |
| fildo | mod = most | 18:07 |
| stdin | so, back on topic.... | 18:08 |
| Tw|sT | yeah | 18:08 |
| Tw|sT | for real | 18:08 |
| fgh | seriously, does amarok work for others? | 18:08 |
| fildo | fgh: yes | 18:08 |
| Tw|sT | that d00d just needs to go hit google for a while, and ask his questions to it | 18:08 |
| fgh | (consider glancing at my above posts) | 18:08 |
| fgh | lol, twist, tw|st, that visual gives new meaning to "google is your friend" | 18:08 |
| Tw|sT | I've never used it, personally. I guess I'm kinda ole' skool about that though... I still prefer xmms | 18:09 |
| Tw|sT | yup | 18:09 |
| Tw|sT | heh | 18:09 |
| fgh | well, it's prominently featured on the kubuntu livecd all over | 18:09 |
| fgh | and, it seems highly unstable or misconfigured.. i don't know which | 18:09 |
| fgh | so i'm partially looking for a sanity check that others have issues, and partially (mostly) looking if solutions exist | 18:10 |
| fildo | fgh what media u trying to play ? . also dose sound work in gerneal ? | 18:10 |
| fgh | I'm booted into a Kubuntu LiveCD right now, and I'm trying to use amarok to play music on the network and it's not working. "No suitable input plugin. This often means that the url's protocol is not supported." Is something setup wrong by default or is http, ftp actually not supported? I've asked in #amarok and it appears nobody's active there. | 18:10 |
| fgh | I'm having difficulty getting information online except "might be bugs in xine" which, c'mon... kubuntu ships with this? Seems it would be something a work-around exists for but I guess anything's possible. | 18:10 |
| fgh | also, audio has crashed and started soundy odd a few times, but rebooting the livecd gets it to work (listening to Kohina [Computer Music] atm) | 18:11 |
| fgh | but that's probably another issue.. just seems things are really ultra half baked so i'm a tad worried about kubuntu's state | 18:11 |
| fgh | so looking if solutions exist prior to install etc | 18:12 |
| fildo | yeah there would be | 18:13 |
| fildo | i have no issues with amarok | 18:13 |
| tzanger | I'm fighting with the session manager... Every time I log in to kdm, kmail starts. I don't have anything in .kde/Autostart, and apparently my session is empty.. where else may this be hinding? | 18:13 |
| Jucato | tzanger: how are you checking that your session is empty? | 18:14 |
| tzanger | in kcontrol, login is set to "start with an empty session" | 18:14 |
| Jucato | this is KDE 3? | 18:14 |
| tzanger | Jucato: yes 3.5.9 I think | 18:14 |
| Jucato | some places for you to double check if there are any kmail related files: /usr/share/autostart/, ~/.kde/share/config/session/, ~/.config/autostart/ | 18:15 |
| tzanger | nothing in ~/.kde/share/config/session, ~/.config/autostart does not exist, and nothing kontact/kmail related in /usr/share/autostart (but there are things in there) | 18:17 |
| Jucato | hmm... | 18:19 |
| tzanger | Jucato: my thoughts exactly :-) | 18:19 |
| * Jucato is unfortunately out of ideas | 18:20 | |
| Jucato | hm.. how about ~/.kde/env/ ? | 18:20 |
| Jucato | and when did this start happening? | 18:20 |
| tzanger | Jucato: you don't happen to know where KDE "resets" the display parameters (gamma, multiscreen placement, etc.) do you? | 18:20 |
| tzanger | Jucato: this has been going on forever, I just am finally determined enough to stop it :-) | 18:20 |
| Jucato | weird... really weird... | 18:20 |
| tzanger | nothing in .kde/env either | 18:21 |
| Jucato | re: display, not sure. Kubuntu uses kde-guidance so I don't know what it does | 18:21 |
| tzanger | Jucato: I'm grepping for kontact right now | 18:21 |
| peter_ | for those who are intrested here's a kubuntu avatar I made, http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x235/PETER_BZFlag/145389961448238f1c9b4a4.png | 18:21 |
| tzanger | ahh okay kde-guidance I'll look for then. I am trying to get my montiros to be one above the other (I can do it with xrandr easily) but kdm and my kde login keep putting it back to clone mode | 18:22 |
| axel | Hello! I got a question about HDD-usage. The /home-directories are on a separate partition with about 55GB. Analyzing the disk usage with the graphical disk map it sais that 22 GB are in use. but wehn consulting Konqueror it sais that there are about 3 gb free. How to explain this? | 18:23 |

| wirechief-intel | BluesKaj: well i just tried the imgburn and it doesnt detect a aspi.dll the setting is in under tools>settings>io but none seemed to work, darn, it worked before. | 18:26 |
| Jucato | araizen: in the directory where you ran apt-get source | 18:26 |
| araizen | Jucato: thanks | 18:28 |
| BluesKaj | wirechief-intel, try k3B , see what happens | 18:29 |
| tzanger | Jucato: hmm, I don't see anything with kdeguidance in the name on my system. there is a guidance-power-manager but that's it | 18:29 |
| Jucato | how about displayconfig? | 18:29 |
| Jucato | well maybe it edits some other file that's not named after the program. sorry I don't know what :) | 18:30 |
| tzanger | ooh there are a few of those :-) | 18:30 |
| tzanger | yes, I think that's it | 18:30 |

| ronan | the gnome 1 | 18:43 |
| axel | DarkShinigami: Or open it with OO.o Draw, adjust the page size and export it to PDF. | 18:44 |
| axel | DarkShinigami: I Know, it's not the best way but a way that works. | 18:44 |
| DarkShinigami | Thanks axel. I will try now | 18:45 |

| scrubb2000 | Anybody out there who wouldn't mind helping me with networking in hardy? | 19:08 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: wat appears to be the problem? | 19:09 |
| scrubb2000 | joshovki: I upgraded to hardy and networking somehow got broken. I'm in XP ATM because I can't access the network in linux. | 19:09 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: wireless or wired? | 19:09 |
| scrubb2000 | wired | 19:09 |
| scrubb2000 | netgear router, DHCP | 19:10 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: ok, you using knetworkmanager to connect? | 19:10 |
| scrubb2000 | It's running when KDE comes up. | 19:11 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: or was it more of a case you plugged it in and it just worked? | 19:11 |
| scrubb2000 | I haven't tried unplugging the cable yet. | 19:11 |
| BizMan2008 | hey guys i just installed kubuntu 8.04 w kde4 clean.... i have a few issues, one being i do not have a battery monitor/indicator in the panel... i know there is a widget, but i dont like it? any ideas why its missing | 19:11 |
| BizMan2008 | came standard in 3.5, and when i had 4.0 running along side it, it was there as well | 19:11 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: ok, the first thing i would do is identify the name of the interface will be something like eth0 and run sudo ifconfig eth0 up if that doesnt work, i would run ifconfig and see what details are shown | 19:12 |
| scrubb2000 | joshovki: is there anything else I should do while I'm at it? I have to reboot in order to try anything... | 19:12 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: write down what the output of ifconfig is. Ummm otherthing to try is to empty out /etc/network/interfaces | 19:13 |
| scrubb2000 | joshovki: any log files or whatnot I should save so I can pastebin them here if I don't understand the output? | 19:14 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: and when you have a wired connection, you can right click on the knetworkmanager and select it | 19:14 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: just the output on ifconfig and possibly the content of /etc/network/interfaces if you are unsure what to delete | 19:14 |
| scrubb2000 | joshovki: are you going to be around for a little while so I can try this and come back if necessary? | 19:15 |
| BizMan2008 | also, my internal and external wireless cards, work (once restricted drivers came into play), but they do not have devices names, they say Unknown wlan1, Unknown wlan2? it used to detect them? Any ideas? | 19:15 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: yeh i should be here for a bit | 19:15 |
| JoshOvki | no plans on going out tonight | 19:16 |
| scrubb2000 | joshovki: k thanks. I'll be back soon. | 19:16 |
| JoshOvki | BizMan2008: the power guidance manager hasnt been ported to kde4 yet | 19:17 |
| CrunchyFerrett | I get to tell this woman that her kid dumped 2oz of maple syrup directly onto her the power block of the mainboard. | 19:17 |
| CrunchyFerrett | She will be most displeases | 19:17 |
| BizMan2008 | JoshOvki: so the one that showed before when i had both kde's, was most liekly the one from kde 3, in kde4? | 19:18 |
| JoshOvki | yeh | 19:18 |
| BizMan2008 | JoshOvki: when it does get ported, will it automatically install if i have kde4-utilities installed? | 19:18 |
| alaskan | Greets, everyone... | 19:18 |
| JoshOvki | BizMan2008: im not sure what the time scale is for it, when asking stdin (the guy with all the kde4 answers) it sounded like it was going to be a while | 19:19 |
| JoshOvki | BizMan2008: you can install it manualy but will have problems getting it to start automagicaly | 19:19 |
| CrunchyFerrett | stdin is the greatest | 19:19 |
| alaskan | Anyone know how to open a GUI app on a remote host's display so it will stay open after the ssh session's been closed? | 19:20 |
| JoshOvki | CrunchyFerrett: i had a teacher once saw off the corner of there motherboard to fit inside there computer case | 19:20 |
| BizMan2008 | can i instlal the kde3 one?, if so what is it kalled, batterydaemon or something to that effect? | 19:20 |
| neville_ | kpowersave? | 19:21 |
| CrunchyFerrett | JoshOvki: I.. um... he did WHAT? | 19:21 |
| alaskan | Doesn't look like kpowersave's been ported yet. | 19:21 |
| JoshOvki | BizMan2008: kde-guidance-powermanager | 19:22 |
| alaskan | Oh, the kde3 one. Yeah, kpowersave... Just waking up | 19:22 |
| alaskan | guidance sucks :-\ | 19:22 |
| CrunchyFerrett | is ubuntu ever planning to get a pipe upgrade? This 76k/s stuff is killing me | 19:22 |
| JoshOvki | CrunchyFerrett: hack sawed off the corner of there MOBO, kinda stupid of them, needless to say it didnt work | 19:22 |
| alaskan | CrunchyFerrett: ++1 | 19:22 |
| JoshOvki | alaskan: works great here | 19:22 |
| BizMan2008 | JoshOvki: ok great, now how will the package upgrading work when kde4 instances are released? will the old kde3 ones be automatically uninstalled? | 19:22 |
| alaskan | JoshOvki: not enough options for me. :-) | 19:23 |
| CrunchyFerrett | alaskan: I dont understand. | 19:23 |
| CrunchyFerrett | JoshOvki: I assume you immediately thwacked him on the head. | 19:23 |
| alaskan | CrunchyFerrett: about the 76k/s stuff | 19:23 |
| JoshOvki | BizMan2008: yeh it will be upgraded. you can try alaskan idea of kpowersave also if you like | 19:23 |
| CrunchyFerrett | alaskan: I dont think I understand the ++1 reference | 19:23 |
| JoshOvki | CrunchyFerrett: it was very very tempting | 19:23 |
| alaskan | CrunchyFerrett: nevermind | 19:23 |
| CrunchyFerrett | :( | 19:24 |
| BizMan2008 | will do thanks | 19:24 |
| BizMan2008 | JoshOvki: any idea about my other question about my wifi cards | 19:24 |
| BizMan2008 | and the device names not being picked up by knetwork manager, not a big deal, just a little annoying | 19:24 |
| CrunchyFerrett | what card is it? | 19:24 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as gastam | ||
| BizMan2008 | ones a external linksys card, the most common one | 19:25 |
| BizMan2008 | broadcom | 19:25 |
| BizMan2008 | and one is either a dell or intell wireless internal card | 19:25 |
| BizMan2008 | but both are working after the restricted drivers kicked in, and it seemed to use the broadcom firmware/driver for both? | 19:26 |
| BizMan2008 | both are workign t hough | 19:26 |
| CrunchyFerrett | If they are both working, what is the question? | 19:26 |
| JoshOvki | CrunchyFerrett: naming issues | 19:27 |
| BizMan2008 | i knetworkmanager, the device names are both UNKNOWN | 19:27 |
| CrunchyFerrett | oh. | 19:27 |
| CrunchyFerrett | oh! I had that problem for a while. | 19:27 |
| BizMan2008 | i remeber with kde3 and kubuntu 7.10, they both showed the seperatenames | 19:27 |
| CrunchyFerrett | do an lsmod and pastebin it | 19:27 |
| BizMan2008 | so i dont know if its a distro issue or kde issue | 19:28 |
| BizMan2008 | and whats really funny is that my internal card, had a crappy connection with 7.10, so i had to use the external card, now its the opposite! | 19:28 |
| JoshOvki | if scrubb2000 can you tell them im just going 2 grab a bite to eat and will b back in 5ish mins | 19:30 |
| JoshOvki | *comes back | 19:30 |
| CrunchyFerrett | k | 19:31 |
| BizMan2008 | my last issue guys, is that my volume keys do nothing, had no problem previously with older kde and kubuntu | 19:31 |
| CrunchyFerrett | in return, I demand a peanut | 19:31 |
| CrunchyFerrett | BizMan2008: Are you going to pastebin the results of your lsmod? | 19:32 |
| * JoshOvki hands CrunchyFerrett a pack of peanuts. Future payment too ;) | 19:32 | |
| JoshOvki | brb all | 19:32 |
| BizMan2008 | well when i get home i guess :) | 19:32 |
| alaskan | BizMan2008: Konsole -> xev -> Press the keys in question and see if they're registering properly | 19:32 |
| * CrunchyFerrett begins flinging peanuts at random passerby | 19:32 | |
| BizMan2008 | alaskan: i did that yesterday, did not look like they were | 19:32 |
| L0stadm1n | hey sup everyone. im trying to install a driver for my ati radeon 9200 video card. but its only availible through rpm so i coudnt have apt download dependenciese for me. | 19:32 |
| BizMan2008 | alaskan: but what do i know, im decent with linux, but not good enough to decipher outputs too much | 19:33 |
| CrunchyFerrett | L0stadm1n: tried adept? | 19:33 |
| BizMan2008 | L0stadm1n: use envyng | 19:33 |
| BizMan2008 | download from adept | 19:33 |
| BizMan2008 | will detect, download, install and confiugre ur xorg for you | 19:34 |
| nosrednaekim | L0stadm1n: where are you downloading from? | 19:34 |
| L0stadm1n | nosrednaekim i downloaded package from ati website | 19:34 |
| nosrednaekim | L0stadm1n: I see, thats not neccesary in Kubuntu :) | 19:34 |
| nosrednaekim | !ati | 19:34 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 19:34 |
| alaskan | BizMan2008: They should be saying something like XF86AudioRaiseVolume | 19:34 |
| BizMan2008 | alaskan: hmm im pretty sure i did not see that | 19:35 |
| alaskan | BizMan2008: If they're just registering a random event, you could use xmodmap. | 19:36 |
| scarygary | Evening.. | 19:36 |
| BizMan2008 | that a command, or something i download from adept? | 19:36 |
| nosrednaekim | BizMan2008: try using xev to se what the keycode is | 19:36 |
| nosrednaekim | hello scarygary | 19:36 |
| alaskan | It's installed with X... man xmodmap ;-) | 19:37 |
| BizMan2008 | ok great i will look into, also, if and when i get this working will it show the volume indicator on screen? | 19:37 |
| scarygary | They really screwed kde 4.0.4 up didn't they? | 19:38 |
| JoshOvki | scarygary: why do you say that? | 19:38 |
| * fgh sees no regressions | 19:38 | |
| alaskan | BizMan2008: It didn't when I was using it, but I imagine that was distro-specific (wasn't on Kubuntu). | 19:38 |
| scarygary | The login background for instance? | 19:38 |
| fgh | nothing for me changed | 19:38 |
| * JoshOvki hasnt noticed any difference | 19:39 | |
| BizMan2008 | alaskan: just wondering because again, i never had a problem with this ever in kubuntu, up until yesterday :) | 19:39 |
| nosrednaekim | scarygary: just use kdm kde3 | 19:39 |
| scarygary | Weird.. I've seen a lot of stuff on difference forums. | 19:39 |
| scarygary | nosrednaekim: I'm thinking of going back to 4.0.1 | 19:39 |
| alaskan | BizMan2008: After upgrading to Hardy? | 19:39 |
| nosrednaekim | scarygary: you can't. | 19:39 |
| BizMan2008 | yeah, but not an upgrade, more like a clean install | 19:39 |
| scarygary | nosrednaekim: Sure i can.. With a lot of work. | 19:40 |
| alaskan | hmm | 19:40 |
| fgh | naw, for my use it was a waste of 60mb in downloads.. no changes. Though there was one konqueror segfault bug fixed i think since i don't notice it anymore (khtml.so i think) | 19:40 |
| nosrednaekim | scarygary: :) | 19:40 |
| alaskan | BizMan2008: With xmodmap though, in short, you'll just want to add the commands you want to execute to ~/.xmodmaprc then add "xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmaprc" to the beginning of /usr/bin/startkde, or if you want to be extra sure not to screw up the startkde script... | 19:42 |
| BizMan2008 | alaskan: oh..... any easier way? | 19:43 |
| BizMan2008 | i dont want to screw things up | 19:43 |
| alaskan | BizMan2008: Just make a script (something like /usr/bin/xmodstartkde) with these lines: #!/bin/bash | xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmap | startkde | 19:43 |
| scrubb2000 | Joshovki: I'm back... | 19:44 |
| CrunchyFerrett | he went for food | 19:44 |
| CrunchyFerrett | expected back in 5 min or so | 19:44 |
| alaskan | BizMan2008: then you just need to point the xsession file to that script (so change startkde to xmodstartkde in Exec= and TryExec= in /usr/share/xsessions/kde.desktop) | 19:45 |
| alaskan | BizMan2008: Sorry, gotta go. good luck | 19:45 |
| alaskan | peace y'all | 19:45 |
| scrubb2000 | crunchyferret: ok, thanks. | 19:45 |
| BizMan2008 | thanks for your help | 19:46 |

| * CrunchyFerrett flicks a peanut at JoshOvki's head | 19:46 | |
| nosrednaekim | Mimi: yeah.... try a cable coming from the out port, into the line-in port :) | 19:47 |
| CrunchyFerrett | Mimi: plug a cable into from your speaker jack into your line in | 19:47 |
| * JoshOvki catches peanut in mouth | 19:48 | |
| JoshOvki | ok, miss me? | 19:48 |
| scrubb2000 | joshovki: yup | 19:48 |
| JoshOvki | hey scrubb2000, what happened? | 19:48 |
| scrubb2000 | eth0 goes up and down upon command, but still doesn't work. | 19:48 |
| Mimi | nosrednaekim, i have a laptop, i dont have linein lineout just mic and headphones | 19:49 |
| scrubb2000 | see this pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11157/ | 19:49 |
| CrunchyFerrett | mimi: use the headphone jack then | 19:49 |
| CrunchyFerrett | feed the head phone jack into your microphone jack? | 19:49 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: you have two network cards? | 19:49 |

| mocamoca | how to switch from KDE 3.5 to KDE 4.0 running Kubuntu | 19:51 |
| scrubb2000 | mimi: you can get the cable at radio shack for about $3. | 19:51 |
| Mimi | CrunchyFerrett, ive used Skype Recorder before, and I didnt have to do all that, why do I have to do all that ? ;/ | 19:51 |

| cuco | hi all, i want to know how much packages there are in ubuntu. can anyone type "apt-get install" and press twise "tab", it will show the number of available packages in ubuntu | 19:52 |
| Mimi | Uuuummm shaffy ... its on *whispers* the website. | 19:52 |
| shaffy | 1983 | 19:52 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: dynamic IP correct? | 19:52 |
| shaffy | cuco: 1983 | 19:52 |
| cuco | mocamoca: "apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop" or similar | 19:52 |
| scrubb2000 | joshovki: yes. The router is configured as a DHCP server. | 19:52 |
| cuco | shaffy: that low? something is wrong. universe? multiverse etc? | 19:52 |
| mocamoca | cuco: I already have the packages | 19:52 |
| shaffy | Mimi: can you *whisper* be a little more specific. i've already tried my best looking on the website | 19:53 |
| Mimi | or similar? /me does apt-get install kubuntu-kde.4.desktop | 19:53 |
| cuco | mocamoca: so? whats the question? | 19:53 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: ok, only the 1 computer on the network? | 19:53 |

| === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde | ||
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: running ifconfig up worked without any errors? | 19:54 |

| Exilant | hm, anyone experienced with cpu freq scaling here? i used to use some centrino module some years ago, with gutsy or so that stopped to load. now i just tried modprobe p4-clockmod, and it reports frequencies as low as 75 MHz | 19:54 |
| mocamoca | cuco: you're right | 19:54 |
| mocamoca | cuco: I didn't have the package ywt | 19:54 |
| cuco | mocamoca: i totally kick ass, i know | 19:55 |
| Mimi | apologies shaffy i meant to speak with cuco: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+allpackages | 19:55 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: did you try plugging the cable into the other port? | 19:55 |
| mocamoca | cuco: Do you think that it solves the problem? | 19:55 |
| cuco | Mimi: that's sad! in theory mandriva2008.1 has more packages :( | 19:56 |
| Mimi | Good for mandriva? | 19:56 |
| cuco | mocamoca: no, you need to install "kde4" and even run it from "kdm" | 19:56 |
| Mimi | Mandriva's epeen is bigger, we should all be sad now *sad* | 19:56 |
| cuco | Mimi: well, I was expecting ubuntu to win, as it has "debian" + "many goodies not in debian" | 19:56 |
| scrubb2000 | joshovki: yes, but it still didn't work. | 19:57 |
| Mimi | cuco more isnt better, but if you really feel that way feel free to move to mandriva | 19:57 |
| shaffy | can someone tell me how (or refer me to a tutorial) to install python modules? | 19:57 |
| mocamoca | cuco: how do i do that? | 19:57 |
| Mimi | shaffy, i imagine you've seen this page http://docs.python.org/inst/inst.html | 19:57 |
| scrubb2000 | joshovki: No. | 19:57 |
| mocamoca | cuco what do you mean with 'kdm' (is the first time i'm running kde... :( ) | 19:57 |
| cuco | well, # of packages is not really a way to measure, since in mandriva every package is splitted into 17 sub-packages... even more then debian IMHO | 19:57 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: no to trying to plug it into the other port? | 19:57 |
| scrubb2000 | correct | 19:57 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: might sound silly, but can you try plug into that for me see if it makes any difference | 19:58 |
| cuco | mocamoca: the thingie which asks for password. instead of just pressing enter, look for a place which says "session" and choose "kde4" instead of "last" | 19:58 |
| * CrunchyFerrett goes afk for a bit to deal with a customer. | 19:58 | |
| JoshOvki | i understand its a pain because you have to restart to give it a go | 19:58 |
| cuco | mocamoca: or something very similar, as you may guess :) | 19:58 |
| mocamoca | ok :) | 19:58 |
| scrubb2000 | joshovki: I'm certain that eth0 was the one I used before, though. It was working fine in Gutsy. | 19:59 |
| scrubb2000 | joshovki: would un- and re-plugging the cable force linux to re-establish the connection? | 20:00 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: the problem is it might have changed names in the last build. Also did you try to use knetworkmanager to take a look? | 20:00 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: unlikaly really | 20:00 |
| mocamoca | cuco: thanks ;) | 20:01 |
| cuco | mocamoca: is it working? | 20:01 |
| scrubb2000 | joshovki: what would I be looking for in knetworkmanager? Doesn't it display the same info as ifconfig? | 20:01 |
| JoshOvki | no, if you right click it from the taskbar you will see a heading called Wired Connections | 20:02 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: make sure the correct one of them is selected | 20:03 |
| fgh | is there a way to actually sort by various fields in adept ala synaptic? | 20:03 |
| fgh | also, a way to show file /download size field ala synaptic? | 20:03 |
| Mimi | shaffy, was that link helpful? | 20:04 |
| scrubb2000 | joshovki: alright, I'll be back in a few... | 20:04 |
| JoshOvki | ok:) | 20:04 |
| fgh | so, i click update and it says 91M download. I have to just click details anywhere from 1-53x here (53 updates) and hope I find it shortly. why can't adept just display a Size field? | 20:06 |
| fgh | the usability here seems very poorly thought out | 20:06 |
| shaffy | Mimi: i've made a mistake. i meant Perl modules :( | 20:06 |
| fgh | carpal tunnel sucks! | 20:06 |

| luigi_B | ciao a tutti.. | 20:11 |
| fgh | anyone use adept here? | 20:11 |
| shaffy | Mimi: thank you for the link. however, that method only works with particular perl modules (found in the repositories), not all perl modules. i need the basic installation method for any perl module. | 20:12 |

| spiral | hello | 20:13 |
| spiral | just installed KDE 4.0.4 on 8.04 kde 4 edition & rebooted, but it still says 4.0.3 in all about boxes | 20:14 |
| Exilant | fgh: dunno, there's synaptic, and of course good old apt-get and aptitude | 20:14 |
| spiral | does anyone here know what I could have done wrong ? | 20:14 |
| Mimi | there's gnome-app-install which works beautifully and it's easy | 20:14 |
| Mimi | ;p | 20:14 |
| Mactaylor | spiral: kde 4.0.3 is kde4 | 20:14 |
| Mactaylor | o nm | 20:14 |
| spiral | Mactaylor: yeayh, but not 4.0.4 | 20:14 |
| Exilant | fgh: yes, i know, they all have problems, maybe kde4 will have something | 20:15 |
| ghita | it easy kde 4? | 20:15 |
| fgh | hmm, seems a shame kde doesn't have it's own package manager that's not so rough around the edges. i like certain things about it... it requires gnome libs, but i guess i'll just use synaptic / aptitude again | 20:15 |
| Mactaylor | spiral: did you enable backports? | 20:15 |
| luigi_B | un aiuto per compilare.. mi dà un errore | 20:15 |
| spiral | Mactaylor: yes, & through apt I got a lot of updates saying 4.0.4... | 20:15 |
| spiral | Mactaylor: when I query aptitude for versions of konqueror for example, it tells me 4.0.4 | 20:16 |
| Mactaylor | did you update them? | 20:16 |
| spiral | Mactaylor: but when I look at the about box of konqueror, it says 4.0.3 | 20:16 |
| spiral | Mactaylor: yes, everything updated | 20:16 |
| Mactaylor | my konqueror says 4.0.3 too | 20:16 |
| spiral | Mactaylor: ahah ;-) | 20:17 |
| spiral | Mactaylor: & have you upgraded to 4.0.4 as well ? | 20:17 |
| Mactaylor | yes | 20:17 |
| Mactaylor | i have kde4 installed but i am on 3.5.9 right now | 20:17 |
| spiral | Mactaylor: everything is still reported as 4.0.3 in the about boxes, this is quite strange | 20:17 |
| Mactaylor | that is wierd my kde4 says that too | 20:18 |

| Mactaylor | are there any seeders? | 20:20 |
| fitoria | yes | 20:20 |
| fitoria | a lot | 20:20 |
| fitoria | y even tried with the ubuntu's torrents | 20:20 |
| fitoria | and nothing | 20:20 |
| Mactaylor | are you behind a firewall or something? | 20:20 |
| fitoria | ktorrent doesnt find the seeders | 20:20 |

| scrubb2000 | joshovki: nope. I did notice something though. | 20:33 |
| JoshOvki | ? | 20:33 |
| scrubb2000 | The network settings manager doesn't save my settings. | 20:34 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: wat u try changinh? | 20:34 |
| goshawk | hi | 20:35 |
| scrubb2000 | joshovki: I set eth0 to DHCP, set the gateway to my router's gateway address, and applied the settings. | 20:35 |
| goshawk | is there an official desktop kernel pachage with PAE support? | 20:35 |
| scrubb2000 | joshovki: If I close the settings manager and reopen it, my changes are gone. | 20:35 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: ive never managed to get that to work | 20:36 |
| CrunchyFerrett | why is he specifying a gateway if he's config'd for dhcp | 20:36 |
| neville_ | goshawk I think you would need to rebuild your kernel. I'vee heard of people using the server kernel though | 20:36 |
| scrubb2000 | crunchyferret: doesn't the computer need to know where to look for the dhcp server? | 20:36 |
| goshawk | neville_: yep, i'm using the server image right now | 20:37 |
| goshawk | neville_: but it's very different | 20:37 |
| scrubb2000 | you know, now that I think about it, I had problems getting DHCP to work in gutsy too. | 20:37 |
| goshawk | neville_: from the desktop one | 20:37 |
| neville_ | Okay so just rebuild the desktop one with PAE enabled? | 20:37 |
| goshawk | i'm thinking of doing it and share with others... | 20:37 |
| goshawk | if there is not an official one | 20:38 |
| scrubb2000 | It wasn't that networking was broken, it was that linux wasn't finding the DHCP server or something like that... | 20:38 |
| scrubb2000 | I wonder if this is the same problem, but I don't remember what I did to fix it back then. | 20:38 |

| BluesKaj | JackWinter_, there is the OSS , but I wasn't successful with getting it to install properly ..there are some who have done so because it was discussed here previously (a few weeks ago) , seems to need some tricks to make it work. | 20:44 |
| JackWinter_ | BluesKaj: OSS is that a mixer ? i thought it was a sound backend ? | 20:45 |
| BluesKaj | I thought it came with a GUI and that it replaced kmix and alsa | 20:45 |
| BluesKaj | I think Daisuke_Ido knows more about it | 20:46 |
| Daisuke_Ido | yeah, it's not a mixer, it's a newer version of the OSS backend | 20:47 |
| Daisuke_Ido | http://kalsamix.sourceforge.net/shots.php | 20:48 |
| BluesKaj | does it replace alsa , Daisuke_Ido ? | 20:48 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that's the only other mixer i've seen | 20:48 |
| Daisuke_Ido | BluesKaj: nope | 20:48 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 20:48 |
| JackWinter_ | BluesKaj: afaik oss is the oldest sound support for linux, mostly replaced by alsa now, even though there are some older apps that only outputs to oss, thus there is an oss to alsa layer. i think some people still run oss for soundcards that have oss support and no alsa support. don't think i wanna go there because i have alsa and jack working great for different applications on different hardware. just want a better mixer ;) | 20:49 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, that looks like the gnome GUI | 20:49 |
| BluesKaj | ok JackWinter_ , understood ... I learn something new every day :) | 20:49 |
| JackWinter_ | BluesKaj: then you are a fortunate fella, i try to do the same ;) | 20:50 |
| BluesKaj | but Daisuke_Ido claims that OSS has better sound quality than alsa | 20:50 |
| Daisuke_Ido | no, just the newer version | 20:51 |
| BluesKaj | oh | 20:51 |
| Daisuke_Ido | OSS 4.whatever it is | 20:51 |
| Daisuke_Ido | prior to that, OSS was at the bottom for me. the new version did improve output in amarok for me, but it's not a spectacular change | 20:51 |
| BluesKaj | ok, so that explains the lack of support on my setup ...I obviously need a driver | 20:51 |
| scrubb2000 | joshovki: I'll try playing around with dhclient later. That name rings bells. But for now I need lunch. | 20:52 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i have yet to install it in a new hardy install, and i'm content enough with alsa that i completely forget i wanted to in the first place :) | 20:52 |
| scrubb2000 | joshovki: I just wish that installing/upgrading linux didn't always break something critical. | 20:52 |
| BluesKaj | hehe, ok duly noted , Daisuke_Ido :) | 20:52 |
| JoshOvki | scrubb2000: you and the rest of the world ;) catch ya after lunch | 20:53 |
| scrubb2000 | joshovki: Well, after I fix the network, I still have to fix compiz and timidity. *sigh* | 20:53 |

| heroicwisdom | Hi can anybody help me with a problem im having with kdesu? | 21:01 |
| Jurgentje | ask ahead | 21:02 |
| hoens`rZ | I managed to bork my nvidia driver install | 21:02 |
| hoens`rZ | can someone help me :E | 21:02 |
| heroicwisdom | ok i have Kubuntu 8.04 installed on my laptop. when veiwing the system guard, i see that kdesu is using around 80% of my cpu time | 21:03 |
| heroicwisdom | is thier a way to get this number down | 21:03 |
| nosrednaekim | heroicwisdom: are you running any programs as root? | 21:04 |
| heroicwisdom | no | 21:04 |
| heroicwisdom | or at least i dont think so | 21:04 |
| nosrednaekim | heroicwisdom: run "ps ax | grep kdesu" and see what the exact command for the command which is running is | 21:05 |
| heroicwisdom | ok hang on | 21:05 |
| hoens`rZ | anyone? :E | 21:05 |
| heroicwisdom | 7628 ? R 114:45 kdesu -session 1012113c12d140000121020801600000065220039_1210217314_728208 | 21:05 |
| heroicwisdom | that is my result | 21:06 |
| nosrednaekim | heroicwisdom: run "sudo kill -9 7628" (and see if anything you were doing disappears) | 21:06 |
| heroicwisdom | ok | 21:06 |
| heroicwisdom | ok i just ran it and it seems nothing changed | 21:07 |
| heroicwisdom | kdesu is not in the process list anymore | 21:08 |
| heroicwisdom | if i run somthing as root do you think is will happen again? | 21:09 |
| heroicwisdom | wait nevermind, i jsut ran a apps as root and the cpu is not being taxed | 21:11 |
| nosrednaekim | just a hung process | 21:11 |
| heroicwisdom | thank you for the help | 21:11 |
| CrunchyFerrett | wireless cards should be shown in both ifconfig AND iwconfig, yes? | 21:11 |
| nosrednaekim | CrunchyFerrett: not in ifconfig if they are not "up" | 21:11 |
| CrunchyFerrett | nosrednaekim: they wont even list themselves? | 21:12 |
| heroicwisdom | one last question, where/how can i veiw/add/remove process that start on boot up? | 21:12 |
| rickest | heroicwisdom: my preference is sysv-rc-conf | 21:12 |
| nosrednaekim | CrunchyFerrett: I don't think so | 21:12 |
| heroicwisdom | ok is that a command or a app with a GUI? | 21:13 |
| rickest | heroicwisdom: curses gui | 21:13 |
| CrunchyFerrett | so... sudo ifconfig eth1 up ? | 21:13 |
| heroicwisdom | ok let me take a look | 21:13 |
| hoens`rZ | does anyone have any idea as to why kubuntu now doesn't show anything onscreen anymore/how i can make it now show things to the monitor :/ | 21:13 |
| CrunchyFerrett | hoens`rZ: is the monitor black (as in, NO display) or is it just a blank kubuntu desktop | 21:14 |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: boot into recovery mode | 21:15 |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: or go to ctrl+alt+f2 | 21:15 |
| heroicwisdom | im installing that app u recomended rickest. thanks for the help. is their anything in particular that i should know before running it? | 21:15 |
| hoens`rZ | CrunchyFerrett: black as in no display | 21:15 |
| hoens`rZ | it posts on boot, and i see kubuntu starting up | 21:16 |
| rickest | heroicwisdom: no, it's pretty straight-forward. the only problem might be that there's no 'undo'. if tha'ts a real problem take screenshots of the current config before you change anything | 21:16 |
| hoens`rZ | but (i think) when kdm starts up it goes blackd | 21:16 |
| hoens`rZ | black | 21:16 |
| CrunchyFerrett | hoens`rZ: ok. do what nos said, then. | 21:16 |
| rickest | heroicwisdom: apparently 'r' can restore | 21:16 |
| heroicwisdom | rickest: ok how do i run it? i dont see a shortcut in the k menu. do i just type sysv-rc-conf in a treminal | 21:17 |
| hoens`rZ | hoens | 21:17 |
| hoens`rZ | + | 21:17 |
| hoens`rZ | nosrednaekim: how to boot into recovery mode? | 21:18 |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: its on the boot loader where you select windows or linux... | 21:19 |
| rickest | heroicwisdom: yes, from a terminal 'sudo sysv-rc-conf'. you might want to 'sysv-rc-conf > sysv-rc.conf.config' to save the original config | 21:19 |
| hoens`rZ | oh i have to go into grub to do it? | 21:19 |
| hoens`rZ | k | 21:19 |
| heroicwisdom | rickest: ok i see it know, the numbers at the top, is that the init level? | 21:19 |
| rickest | heroicwisdom: yes | 21:20 |
| rickest | heroicwisdom: seriously, be sure to 'sysv-rc-conf --list > some_backup_file.txt' first so you can know what the settings were originally and in case you goof it up | 21:21 |
| ubuntu | salut à tous ! | 21:21 |

| JoshOvki | hoens`rZ: usb keyboard? | 21:23 |
| hoens`rZ | nosrednaekim: no, it jsut keeps booting into kubuntu | 21:24 |
| hoens`rZ | JoshOvki: let me check :E | 21:24 |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: do you have a USB keyboard? | 21:24 |
| hoens`rZ | i can never remember if the mouse is usb or the keyboard is | 21:24 |
| hoens`rZ | yes | 21:25 |
| hoens`rZ | it is | 21:25 |
| JoshOvki | nosrednaekim: i just asked that ;) | 21:25 |
| hoens`rZ | stupid wireless stuff using 2 different plugs | 21:25 |
| JoshOvki | hoens`rZ: in your bios turn on USB keyboard support | 21:25 |
| hoens`rZ | as opposed to just using one usb connection :/ | 21:25 |
| hoens`rZ | k | 21:25 |
| heroicwisdom | ok thanks for the help everybody! | 21:26 |
| kaminix | Is there no way at all to view .sub-files with xine? | 21:26 |
| nosrednaekim | JoshOvki: but he didn't answer you :) | 21:27 |
| hoens`rZ | ok i'm in recovery mode | 21:28 |
| hoens`rZ | now what :E | 21:28 |
| JoshOvki | nosrednaekim: true | 21:28 |
| Nescore | hello all .. quick question ... does anyone know is the 8.04 remix a live cd | 21:29 |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: run "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 21:29 |
| nosrednaekim | Nescore: yes, it is | 21:29 |
| Nescore | very cool ... thanks | 21:29 |
| hoens`rZ | nosrednaekim: ok | 21:30 |
| hoens`rZ | why couldn't i jsut do this through ssh? :E | 21:30 |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: oh.. you could have :) | 21:30 |
| hoens`rZ | well | 21:31 |
| hoens`rZ | now i can't cause i'm in recovery mode lol | 21:31 |
| hoens`rZ | that's annoying | 21:31 |
| hoens`rZ | ok nosrednaekim what next ?:E | 21:31 |
| nosrednaekim | right right... anyway, find where that file says "Driver" nvidia" and change it to "nv" | 21:31 |
| nosrednaekim | as in " Driver "nv" " | 21:31 |
| hoens`rZ | done | 21:31 |
| nosrednaekim | save, exit, and reboot. | 21:32 |
| hoens`rZ | so nosrednaekim, it tried really hard to open kdm or something | 21:35 |
| hoens`rZ | but now it's just sitting there at a (non-graphical) prompt | 21:35 |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: ok, login and run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 21:36 |
| nosrednaekim | and then "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart" | 21:36 |
| hoens`rZ | nv as driver? | 21:36 |
| hoens`rZ | or nvidia | 21:36 |
| hoens`rZ | i assum env | 21:36 |
| fgh | are the kubuntu repos as slow for everyone else as for me or do i have something setup wrong? | 21:36 |
| fgh | I'm on an 8mbps line, and i'm downloading at 18.3kB/s atm | 21:37 |
| fgh | that's 40mins for updates | 21:37 |
| Exilant | hm, try a different mirror | 21:37 |
| Exilant | had no problems today so far | 21:37 |
| Exilant | (.ch mirror) | 21:37 |
| fgh | hmm, i'm just using the default mirror / in the US | 21:37 |
| fgh | how might i choose / find another mirror? | 21:38 |
| fgh | Seems something of a guess as to which ones are overloaded from my POV. | 21:38 |
| hoens`rZ | nosrednaekim: improvement, but now i just get a blinking cursor in the upper left hand corner | 21:38 |
| Exilant | sth like sed -i -e 's/http:\/\/us./http:\/\/ca./' /etc/apt/sources.list | 21:39 |
| Exilant | or just select it in adept | 21:39 |
| fgh | hmm, i have no idea what the first line told me, but the second line tells me theres a list i can find in adept :) | 21:40 |
| * fgh starts poking around again | 21:40 | |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: try vesa... | 21:40 |
| hoens`rZ | i'm fairly certain it worked with nv before | 21:40 |
| hoens`rZ | but ok | 21:40 |
| Exilant | the first replaces the us mirror with the canadian mirror in the sources.list directly | 21:41 |
| fgh | aah, i see what you mean now. that's clever :) | 21:41 |
| Exilant | haven't tested it now, did something like that before, though | 21:41 |
| Daisuke_Ido | amarok seems a little slow to respond when you choose to edit 600+ tags at a time | 21:42 |
| fgh | i'm not too quick on the draw with CLI stuff like that (yet, naturally) so nice to have both at my disposal for sure | 21:42 |
| ubuntu | hello, i want to ask in which package can i find libxine1-ffmpeg ? | 21:42 |
| Exilant | ubuntu: huh? | 21:43 |
| Exilant | in package libxine1-ffmpeg? | 21:43 |
| nosrednaekim | Daisuke_Ido: lol :) | 21:43 |
| JoshOvki | libxine1-ffmpeg is a package | 21:43 |
| Daisuke_Ido | nosrednaekim: the other day i accidentally went to edit the tags for my entire collection rather than get properties for it... | 21:44 |
| hoens`rZ | nosrednaekim: that worked, but is really suboptimal | 21:44 |
| hoens`rZ | is there anyway to get an nvidia driver working? | 21:44 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it locked amarok up pretty quick. | 21:44 |
| JoshOvki | ubuntu: your question is not very clear. libxine1-ffmpeg is a package | 21:44 |
| ubuntu | JoshOvki: | 21:45 |
| ubuntu | Package libxine1-ffmpeg is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 21:45 |
| ubuntu | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 21:45 |
| ubuntu | is only available from another source | 21:45 |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: do you have a video card on your motherboard? is it an nvidia? | 21:45 |
| ubuntu | i get this from terminal | 21:45 |
| ubuntu | do i need to enable some repos? | 21:45 |
| hoens`rZ | nosrednaekim: yes and yes | 21:45 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ubuntu: make sure you have the universe and multiverse repos enabled | 21:45 |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: and are you currently trying to use a pci-e nvidia card? | 21:45 |
| hoens`rZ | nForce 630a | 21:45 |
| hoens`rZ | no | 21:45 |
| hoens`rZ | uh well i dunno? lol | 21:45 |
| Exilant | ubuntu: Section: universe/libs | 21:45 |
| hoens`rZ | how do i check :E | 21:45 |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: do you have a video card other than the one on your motherboard. | 21:46 |
| hoens`rZ | nosrednaekim: no | 21:46 |
| nosrednaekim | oh.. ok | 21:46 |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: which nvidia driver did you install? nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new? | 21:46 |
| hoens`rZ | nosrednaekim: the point of the box is to be mainly a file server, so while i don't NEED a head, sometimes it's helpful as x through ssh is down right aweful | 21:46 |
| hoens`rZ | nosrednaekim: nvidia-glx | 21:46 |
| hoens`rZ | how do i determine my video card's bus identifier? | 21:47 |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: lspci | 21:47 |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: yeah.. thats exactly what I was thinking :) | 21:47 |
| hoens`rZ | hmmm | 21:47 |
| hoens`rZ | i'm looking and i don't see anything about a bus identifier | 21:48 |
| ubuntu | Exilant: Daisuke_Ido JoshOvki thx | 21:48 |
| fgh | wholly crap.. thanks to the sudo sed -i -e 's/http:\/\/us./http:\/\/ca./' /etc/apt/sources.list my speed bounces around 75-83k and spikes at 140k on new, small files at first. Many thanks, Exilant! | 21:48 |
| hoens`rZ | or | 21:48 |
| hoens`rZ | it could be this | 21:48 |
| hoens`rZ | 00:12.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 7025 (rev a2) | 21:48 |
| hoens`rZ | ? | 21:48 |
| hoens`rZ | so 00:12.0? | 21:48 |
| fgh | I guess US servers are overloaded then | 21:48 |
| Exilant | fgh, you're welcome | 21:49 |
| nosrednaekim | yeah.... 0.12 | 21:49 |
| hoens`rZ | still noghting | 21:49 |
| hoens`rZ | is it 12.0 | 21:49 |
| hoens`rZ | or 12:0 | 21:49 |
| hoens`rZ | or does it not matter | 21:49 |
| nosrednaekim | where are you putting that?in the xorg.conf? | 21:49 |
| hoens`rZ | when i run dpkg-reconfigure xorg-config | 21:50 |
| nosrednaekim | ah... well, it should be the one which is automatically deteted | 21:50 |
| hoens`rZ | it asks for video card's bus identifier: | 21:50 |
| hoens`rZ | well that was different | 21:50 |
| hoens`rZ | that was 18:0 | 21:50 |
| hoens`rZ | which lspci says is the amd hyper transport technology configuartion | 21:50 |
| amrush | is there anyway possible to retreive stuff that is deleted from the trash can ? | 21:51 |
| sredna2 | hi | 21:51 |
| nosrednaekim | ah... thats interesting. | 21:51 |
| nosrednaekim | hello mr anders... | 21:51 |
| hoens`rZ | but in any event, neither work :E | 21:51 |
| sredna2 | what is the package i have to install to get c++ development tools? | 21:51 |
| nosrednaekim | like the compiler? | 21:51 |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: with the nv driver? | 21:52 |
| hoens`rZ | nosrednaekim: aye | 21:52 |
| sredna2 | nosrednaekim: i appear to have gcc, but not c++ for example | 21:52 |
| NickPresta | sredna2, 'g++', 'build-essential'? | 21:52 |
| sredna2 | NickPresta: thanks :-) | 21:52 |
| sredna2 | build-essential is it | 21:52 |
| hoens`rZ | nosrednaekim: should i install nvidia-glx-legacy or nvidia-glx-new? | 21:53 |
| ubuntu | any way i can speed up .wmv movies on 64bit ubuntu? =/ | 21:53 |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: give -new a shot | 21:53 |
| amrush | anyone can help me in retreiving what has been deleted from my trash can ? | 21:53 |
| NickPresta | amrush, what filesystem are you using? | 21:53 |
| amrush | nickpresta .. ext2 | 21:55 |
| hoens`rZ | nosrednaekim: still nothing :E | 21:55 |
| NickPresta | amrush, first google result is this: http://www.stud.tu-ilmenau.de/~mojo/undelete.html | 21:55 |
| NickPresta | amrush, check out the 'e2undel' package too. It allows you to interactively undelete files | 21:56 |
| NickPresta | although none of this is promised to work, AFAIK | 21:56 |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: if its a server.... just use Vesa.... | 21:56 |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: you can probably get vesa up to 1025x768 | 21:56 |
| nosrednaekim | *4 | 21:56 |
| fgh | amrush: use photorec | 21:56 |
| fgh | amrush: it's part of testdisk suite | 21:57 |
| amrush | nickpresta, fgh .. thanks .. but one by one .. | 21:57 |
| Exilant | ubuntu, well, what player are you using? | 21:57 |
| ubuntu | Exilant: kaffeine | 21:58 |
| fgh | ahh, yeah.. photorec is annoying like that.. no limitation on files it picks up (like only X file size, or X name). | 21:58 |
| Exilant | hm, never found out the options with kaffeine. you could try another player, mplayer or the like, but i guess kaffeine should be alright | 21:59 |
| hoens`rZ | lol nosrednaekim, now vesa doesn't work o_O | 22:00 |
| ubuntu | Exilant: any ideas? | 22:00 |
| Exilant | don't have any wmv files, so i never had problems | 22:01 |
| jesse | HELLO | 22:03 |
| SlimeyPete | hi. | 22:04 |
| nosrednaekim | hoens`rZ: heh.,..... set it to vesa and try rebooting | 22:04 |
| nosrednaekim | you probably got it all confused | 22:04 |
| ubuntu | how can i install restricted driver for my GPU? it aint automatically detected, i supposed it will be =/ | 22:05 |
| nosrednaekim | ubuntu: what graphics card? | 22:05 |
| Exilant | ubuntu: i really don't know, i once learned a bit of mplayer tuning, but that was on a 233MHz machine, an x64 shouldn't have any problems even with full hd | 22:05 |
| Exilant | maybe xoverlay doesn't work for you? or is it just wmv, and avi works or so? | 22:06 |
| ubuntu | nosrednaekim: gf 8600 gt | 22:06 |
| ubuntu | Exilant: avi plays even better that on windows | 22:06 |
| ubuntu | than* | 22:06 |
| ubuntu | but only wmv is crap, i guess it will be codec-related stuff | 22:07 |
| Exilant | probably | 22:07 |
| Exilant | restricted-manager doesn't offer you sth. for your gpu? | 22:07 |
| nosrednaekim | ubuntu: install the "nvidia-glx-new" package as well as "nvidia-settings" | 22:07 |
| fgh | You know, looking at apt-list now, is enabling the deb and deb-src redundant for multiverse, universe, main, main restricted et al. ? | 22:08 |
| nosrednaekim | fgh: no | 22:08 |
| ubuntu | i got em enabled | 22:08 |
| ubuntu | dling stuff now, restrcted manager doesnt offer me | 22:08 |
| ubuntu | but mayb cause i am live cd :> | 22:08 |
| fgh | I can't figure why i'd need them though nosrednaekim, since it doesn't seem those install as anything? | 22:09 |
| fgh | i realise if i was a developer but... for my avg use i mean, is it redundant / needed? | 22:09 |
| fgh | will bad nanny boo bo happen to me if i disable them? :) | 22:10 |
| nosrednaekim | you don't need deb-src | 22:10 |
| nosrednaekim | thats only for course debs, and generally only developers need them | 22:10 |
| nosrednaekim | *source | 22:10 |
| fgh | gotcha, saves ubuntu some bw / me a lot of time probably to disable those so thanks. | 22:11 |
| nosrednaekim | yeah | 22:11 |
| amrush | fgh, recovering stuff .. thanks .. | 22:12 |

| ubuntu | crap, i need to reboot machine =/ so i guess i will install kubuntu and try compiz there | 22:15 |
| Exilant | ubuntu: well, i guess in theory you just need to restart X | 22:16 |
| ubuntu | Exilant: i did, it didnt appeared | 22:17 |
| Exilant | but i don't know how feasible it's with the livecd | 22:17 |
| ubuntu | yeah that is the prob i guess | 22:17 |
| Exilant | you also changed xorg.conf? | 22:17 |
| ubuntu | sudo nvidia-xconfig did | 22:17 |
| Exilant | ah, ok | 22:17 |
| Exilant | yeah, probably all that auto-stuff prevents it | 22:18 |
| ubuntu | Exilant: r u using compiz personally? | 22:18 |
| Exilant | no, i have it installed | 22:19 |
| Exilant | but it doesn't work well with google earth or other opengl apps | 22:19 |
| ubuntu | ah, u using 32 or 64bit ? | 22:22 |
| dwidmann_laptop | 64-bit ftw | 22:23 |
| viperserv2 | how do i setup proftp to fxp on ubunto? | 22:28 |
| ubuntu | Exilant: one more thing plz, do u know how to make apt downloads faster? | 22:29 |
| dwidmann_laptop | viperserv2: if you're looking for something quick and don't want to mess around with setup, you might also want to consider sftp (openssh-server package) or pure-ftpd | 22:29 |
| dwidmann_laptop | ubuntu: pick a faster mirror :P | 22:29 |
| ubuntu | dwidmann_laptop: uh | 22:30 |
| Exilant | ubuntu: dunno, i think they are lightning fast | 22:30 |
| ubuntu | dwidmann_laptop: any how to on that plz? :> | 22:30 |
| Exilant | look into /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:31 |
| Exilant | dunno what mirrors the livecd uses | 22:31 |
| Exilant | maybe you can replace them with sk mirrors | 22:32 |
| dwidmann_laptop | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors would be a good place to start ubuntu | 22:32 |
| ubuntu | dwidmann_laptop: thx | 22:32 |
| ubuntu | Exilant: just did that | 22:32 |
| ubuntu | Exilant: working :P | 22:32 |
| ubuntu | thx | 22:32 |
| Exilant | :) | 22:32 |
| dwidmann_laptop | ubuntu: basically it involves editing your /etc/apt/sources.list (frontends like adept and synaptic work too) and changing the site | 22:32 |
| ubuntu | i did it | 22:33 |
| ubuntu | i prefer shell that some gui | 22:33 |
| xomp | hey folks, does the standard Ubuntu Hardy CD come with KDE4? Or will I have to download all the packages for KDE4 once I install Hardy? | 22:33 |
| ubuntu | xomp: there r 2 versions of kubuntu | 22:34 |
| BluesKaj | i tmakes no difference apt and adept DL the pkges fromn the same sources | 22:34 |
| ubuntu | one with kde4 and one with kde3 | 22:34 |
| xomp | ubuntu, well I already have a Hardy Ubuntu CD and I'm all out of blank CD's, just curious if the standard version came with KDE4 or not. | 22:34 |
| BluesKaj | xiomp there's a mix DL that has hardy+kede4 | 22:35 |
| ubuntu | xomp: nop standard version of kubuntu is using kde 3.5.9 | 22:35 |
| xomp | I thought I saw an option for kde4 when I installed this | 22:35 |
| ubuntu | kde4 is another cd | 22:36 |
| xomp | ok | 22:38 |
| BluesKaj | ubuntu hardy+kde4 is here http://www.kubuntu.org/ | 22:39 |
| dwidmann_laptop | xomp: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 22:40 |
| xomp | so if I want a copy of ubuntu with kde4 as the wm then I'll need to download kubuntu, I'd prefer not to have gnome loaded as I find the menu to be a bit busy with two wm's. | 22:40 |
| dwidmann_laptop | xomp: be sure to have updates and backports *universe* turned on. | 22:40 |
| xomp | dwidmann_laptop, I have it installed now, just don't want gnome anymore. Wasn't sure if there was a way to remove gnome or not. | 22:41 |
| dwidmann_laptop | xomp: google for "purekde" and you'll surely find what you're looking for | 22:42 |
| BluesKaj | sudo apt-get remove gnome desktop | 22:42 |
| xomp | dwidmann_laptop, so I'm more apt to just redoing everything again as not to bother anybody with "How do I do this? I'm a linux noob" | 22:42 |
| BluesKaj | err gnome-desktop | 22:42 |
| xomp | BluesKaj, ah, cool :) Thanks! | 22:42 |
| dwidmann_laptop | xomp: that will only remove the gnome-desktop metapackage ... it won't get rid of the gnome packages ... | 22:43 |
| xomp | dwidmann_laptop, ok, so look for purekde? Is that a ubuntu version perchance? | 22:43 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | !purekde | 22:43 |
| ubottu | purekde is If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 22:43 |
| BluesKaj | xomp, then , sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop , (for kde3.5.9) | 22:43 |
| dwidmann_laptop | it's the number one hit on google, it also happens to be the link the bot just gave you. | 22:44 |

| dwidmann_laptop | BonesolTeraDyne: seamonkey isn't a gnome app so you can cross that one out ... GTK != Gnome | 22:48 |
| MilitantPotato | introubleee: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg use ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a terminal, and "sudo shutdown -r now" to restart | 22:49 |
| dwidmann_laptop | Unless those apps started picking up heavy gnome dependencies o.O .... I haven't paid much attention to Mozilla in a long time. | 22:49 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | I was listing non-KDE\QT apps, not just GNOME ones. | 22:50 |
| dwidmann_laptop | BonesolTeraDyne: there are plenty of good GTK apps, they don't have to conform to the GNOME interface guidelines afterall. | 22:50 |

| matt___ | anyone know anything about a qt toolkit package? | 22:58 |
| dwidmann_laptop | uhriventis: the easiest way would be to move your ~/.kde4 folder ... of course that would lose your app settings ... then log back in | 22:59 |
| dwidmann_laptop | matt___: probably something like qt3-dev-tools perhaps? | 22:59 |
| uhriventis | How would I move it | 23:00 |
| dwidmann_laptop | uhriventis: the mv command works well if you're familiar with the shell, otherwise, you could do it in konqueror or dolphin if you tell it to show hidden files | 23:01 |
| matt___ | dwidmann_laptop: checking for Qt4 version of qmake... configure: error: ophcrack requires Qt toolkit version 4.3 or later. Please disable the GUI via '--disable-gui', or see http://www.trolltech.com/ to obtain it. | 23:01 |
| matt___ | dwidmann_laptop: any the package you suggested didn't work | 23:01 |

| uhriventis | I don't see kde in there | 23:04 |
| dwidmann_laptop | uhriventis: it's a folder called ".kde4" | 23:04 |

| dwidmann_laptop | BluesKaj: After my experience with my radeon 9700 in linux I haven't touched an ATI card since ... and years later that problem still isn't 100% fixed :( jeeze | 23:58 |
| jereme | I think the bug that Blues posted is the proper fix | 23:58 |
| BluesKaj | this fix works for the lower end fglrx desfault restricted driver suggested by kubuntu upon reboot immediately after Hardy was installed | 23:58 |
| jereme | it worked for me on the binary install too | 23:59 |
| jereme | I can't find any other fixes in my browser history | 23:59 |
| BluesKaj | jereme, my card is the very common X200 used in a lotta laptops and MOR HP pcs | 23:59 |
