| robeph | i tend to keep my keys on a well usb stick on my keyring :p | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| robeph | privvies anyhow | 00:00 |
| astan | robeph: what do you mean? it's a key pair, on public and one private. | 00:00 |
| astan | *one. | 00:00 |
| robeph | astan: well in my case, I have public keys generated on gentoo all over the place... | 00:00 |
| robeph | they're fine, | 00:00 |
| robeph | now if my privvy key was all over the place, or on a comp'd box I'd worry | 00:01 |
| robeph | but the chances of someone actually having comp'd yer box and having your key is pretty slim unless you have a higher profile network, or you're paranoid, like I said, it depends really, I'm regen'ing my key and pairs since my private key has touched machines that are suspectrf | 00:02 |
| astan | i don't know if my desktop has been compromised. but i do know that it had a bad server key for almost a year. | 00:02 |
| robeph | astan: yep, | 00:02 |
| robeph | astan: but the public knowledge of it hasn't been so widespread | 00:02 |
| robeph | astan: its the skiddies I'd worry with | 00:02 |
| yojhandry | #kubuntu-es | 00:02 |
| robeph | astan: the people who found it aren't very dangerous in that regard, | 00:02 |
| astan | yes exactly. hm ok. | 00:02 |
| robeph | as i said, depends...paranoia is often good, doesn't hurt | 00:03 |
| astan | i'm torn now, i don't know if i should regenerate or not. | 00:03 |
| robeph | how difficult is it to regenerate and dissimenate? | 00:03 |
| astan | yea. i use that user key to authenticate against KDE SVN, so i'd need to send them my new public key. | 00:03 |
| robeph | eg how many pubs ya gotta spread? | 00:03 |
| phoenixz | Where can I store static routes in a file so that they automatically will be applied with each reboot? | 00:03 |
| robeph | astan: also, be wary of the patch | 00:03 |
| astan | actually i think it's only one.. to KDE SVN sysadmins. | 00:03 |
| robeph | astan: its not up to par I don't believe, more entropy, but not standard yet | 00:04 |
| astan | robeph: not standard? as in not upstream? | 00:04 |
| robeph | no no | 00:04 |
| robeph | it's like not the greatest patchwork | 00:04 |
| robeph | they hopped some buffer reads around yada yada, still not enough entropy/randomization | 00:05 |
| robeph | although much more secure than current | 00:05 |
| astan | okay. | 00:05 |
| robeph | I'm not gonna trust it | 00:05 |
| robeph | but astan your server key, wouldn't gain access to intruders would it? | 00:05 |
| robeph | if you use bsd gen'd key pair | 00:06 |
| robeph | and no debian based openssl key pairs, you needn't worry at all I'd not assume | 00:06 |
| robeph | cos access via the pair is the only worry imho | 00:06 |
| astan | that's what i'm asking. | 00:06 |
| pteague | adept_notifier is the package updater in kubuntu right? what's the 1 in ubuntu? | 00:06 |
| astan | okay, but then why does the wiki page at debian advice you to regenerate your server key? | 00:07 |
| robeph | hell if I know | 00:07 |
| robeph | oh | 00:07 |
| robeph | cos , | 00:07 |
| robeph | MIM | 00:07 |
| robeph | you could concievably falsify your server and be fooled into thinking someone else is you thus dropping passwords | 00:07 |
| robeph | man in the middle? | 00:08 |
| mistopher | hello does anybody can help me with the current projectM-libviasual and kubuntu feisty? | 00:08 |
| robeph | and sniff out yer traffic | 00:08 |
| mistopher | i got an compilation error when running cmake | 00:08 |
| astan | robeph: ah right. | 00:08 |

| Daisuke_Ido | !ot |robeph, astan - this is a kubuntu support channel, not a security channel | 00:09 |
| ubottu | robeph, astan - this is a kubuntu support channel, not a security channel: #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! | 00:09 |
| Daisuke_Ido | there we are | 00:09 |
| robeph | Daisuke_Ido: I know, but this is support for current issue related to kubuntu since we're obviously both using it | 00:09 |
| Daisuke_Ido | perfectly good talk about security, but this just isn't the place for it :) | 00:09 |
| robeph | well this is relevent to his valid question | 00:09 |
| robeph | should he regen his bsd gen'd key pair due to server key being weak | 00:09 |
| astan | this is the biggest issue i've had with kubuntu so far. a boot failure would have been a better issue. | 00:09 |
| robeph | since his key pair resides on weak key'd kubuntu box | 00:10 |
| astan | well, i have to crash now. let's hope i'm not rooted :) | 00:11 |
| robeph | doubt it ;p | 00:12 |
| robeph | how about this, adept froze and died during update | 00:12 |
| robeph | now I can't update | 00:12 |
| robeph | cos its still got a lock | 00:13 |
| billyd | Why not apt? | 00:13 |
| robeph | billyd: cos adept popped up when I booted when i just got home and said I needed to update openssl so I said go fer it? | 00:13 |
| robeph | why ask silly questions | 00:13 |
| robeph | why not emerge? | 00:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | !adeptfix | robeph | 00:14 |
| ubottu | robeph: 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 » | 00:14 |
| lars_ | me no irc too good. How do I get to #xubuntu? | 00:14 |
| robeph | lars_: /join #xubuntu | 00:15 |
| lars_ | never mind | 00:15 |
| robeph | though I'm wondering how the heck you got in here. | 00:15 |
| robeph | although most newer irc clients you can click the channel name when linked in channel | 00:15 |

| Daisuke_Ido | "why not emerge?"? | 00:16 |
| Dragnslcr | Is there any reason that I can't burn the 8.04 desktop CD image to a blank DVD? | 00:16 |
| robeph | Daisuke_Ido: he asked a dumb question =\ | 00:16 |
| robeph | I gave a dumb answer | 00:16 |
| lars_ | robeph: thanks. thats what I did | 00:16 |
| robeph | no prob | 00:17 |
| Daisuke_Ido | well, not really. apt is the backend to all the package management, emerge isn't even in the picture. | 00:17 |
| robeph | in the future though /join #channel_name works | 00:17 |
| rower | kubuntu is great | 00:17 |
| rower | only been on it for like less then an hour.. | 00:17 |
| robeph | rower: it's pretty | 00:17 |
| robeph | rower: with kde4 | 00:17 |
| Daisuke_Ido | emerge is awesome, if you have that kind of time :) | 00:17 |
| lars_ | wtf?!?!11 *** Channel modes: secret, no messages from outside | 00:18 |
| rower | and did things that took me to figure out how to do in win much longer ^ | 00:18 |
| rower | maby i will stick to this :D | 00:18 |
| rower | its so logical.. | 00:18 |
| robeph | lars_: ? | 00:18 |
| Daisuke_Ido | rower: the barriers to entry have fallen a lot, even since i started in 06 | 00:18 |
| rower | everyone that put something into this should get some real good creds | 00:18 |
| lars_ | robeh: ???? *** kubrick.freenode.net sets the channel mode to 'no messages from outside'. | 00:19 |
| robeph | lars_: secret I think is opt for not allowing who's to see who resides inside, and no msg from outside means people can't spam without being in channel | 00:19 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it used to be that the three reasons not to go to linux were: office suite, drivers, and games | 00:19 |
| Daisuke_Ido | then OOo came along, and then it was just drivers and games... | 00:19 |
| rower | well now u can do everything :D | 00:19 |
| robeph | because with IRC you can say /msg #channelname <message here> to send things to channels without entering,, makes for lotsa porn site links | 00:19 |
| rower | well.. drivers is better in this than vista.. | 00:19 |
| rower | i promise.. | 00:19 |
| rower | :P | 00:19 |
| Daisuke_Ido | now linux's hardware support is on par with windows' - for the most part - the only thing is games | 00:19 |
| rower | and yeah.. cedega right? | 00:19 |
| Daisuke_Ido | no | 00:19 |
| Daisuke_Ido | never ever ever | 00:20 |
| Daisuke_Ido | wine | 00:20 |
| rower | haha.. ehm | 00:20 |
| robeph | only gimpy thing i've come across video wise is that my unlock dialogue doesn't show through the screensaver | 00:20 |
| rower | cant play counter-strike on steam :S | 00:20 |
| Daisuke_Ido | wine's actually blown way past cedega's compatibility :D | 00:20 |
| robeph | and only like 4 screensavers seem to work =\ | 00:20 |
| rower | ooh.. | 00:20 |
| rower | so now steam works with wine ? | 00:20 |
| Daisuke_Ido | for certain values of "works" | 00:20 |
| robeph | rower: they had a vid on some site I saw playign COD4 | 00:20 |
| rower | hahaha | 00:20 |
| rower | NICE | 00:20 |
| rower | :D | 00:20 |
| robeph | although it looked a bit clunky | 00:20 |
| rower | my only intension in playing is counter-strike 1.6 | 00:21 |
| robeph | but it wasn't a screen full of .dll is missing 08xeej332#@d dieplz | 00:21 |
| robeph | so that's good for me | 00:21 |
| rower | then i have everything i want, mirc, xmms, pidgin and cs :D | 00:21 |
| robeph | does wine handle tcp handling ok? | 00:21 |
| Daisuke_Ido | robeph: seems to | 00:21 |
| rower | this irc client is poor though ^ | 00:21 |
| Daisuke_Ido | http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=1554 <- steam reports from winehq | 00:21 |
| rower | ooooh it works like gold :D | 00:22 |
| rower | haha this is really cool | 00:22 |
| Daisuke_Ido | rower: a couple things - mirc under wine may work, but there are better clients. and xmms is not available in 8.04, try audacious instead (spiritual successor to xmms) | 00:23 |
| rower | its a pitty that i have an ati graphic card though | 00:23 |
| rower | i have 6.04 | 00:23 |
| rower | or 6.06 :S | 00:23 |
| robeph | i got ati also | 00:23 |
| robeph | rower: do yer screensavers work ok? | 00:23 |
| rower | dono | 00:23 |
| rower | ait sucks :S | 00:23 |
| rower | i baught my card for a premium card of wow ^ | 00:23 |
| Daisuke_Ido | rower: i might have to recommend upgrading, there's a new LTS out (8.04) and the version of wine in 6.06 is NOT going to work with steam | 00:24 |
| rower | i was acculy kinda blown away how easy it was finding every setting i needed | 00:24 |
| robeph | rower: no it doesn't | 00:24 |
| rower | yeah i know | 00:24 |
| robeph | rower: I have two ATI 3870's crossfire | 00:24 |
| robeph | they work sexily =) just not with linux drivers :'( | 00:24 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you're looking at two years of improvement since dapper was released | 00:24 |
| rower | woa | 00:24 |
| rower | i have like the x700 card | 00:24 |
| rower | hmm... so is there alot of things beeing imrpoved? | 00:25 |
| robeph | Daisuke_ after that fix, adept now segs every time I run it >< | 00:25 |
| robeph | rower: indeed | 00:25 |
| rower | is there anything outstanding from the previous | 00:25 |
| Daisuke_Ido | robeph: welcome to adept | 00:26 |
| rower | and the other thing that Xubuntu is better at is not flaming ppl asking really stupid questions ^ | 00:26 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you're better off with synaptic | 00:26 |
| allen__ | hello | 00:26 |
| rower | oh i have to get to sleep | 00:26 |
| rower | my works begins at like 5:45 tomorrow.. | 00:26 |
| rower | so i have a good 3h sleep infront of me :D | 00:27 |
| allen__ | does kubutno get all the same updaets as ubuntu? | 00:27 |
| Daisuke_Ido | rower: massive improvements in xorg, kde or gnome, depending on your preference, both have improved... driver and hardware management is better | 00:27 |
| Daisuke_Ido | allen__: yep | 00:27 |
| rower | thats why i acculy installed linux today.. | 00:27 |
| rower | my power supply burnt on my other computer | 00:27 |
| allen__ | i like the desktop a lot better | 00:27 |
| Daisuke_Ido | allen__: they use the same base system | 00:27 |
| rower | nice | 00:27 |
| Daisuke_Ido | allen__: that's cool, it's entirely up to individual choice what desktop environment you use :) | 00:27 |
| allen__ | i installed kubuntu because vista SP 1 lost my sound card... | 00:27 |
| rower | in dapper drake the xord config chose the wrong drivers for my graphical card :S | 00:27 |
| robeph | Daisuke_ you may know... I have the beta version of kubuntu, would this be pretty much same as an uptodate new install from release? | 00:27 |
| rower | haha i couldnt even install sp1 cause i had to little harddrivespace | 00:28 |
| Daisuke_Ido | robeph: if you've got all the updates that have been released up til now, it's exactly the same | 00:28 |
| robeph | Daisuke_ hrmm, thought so | 00:28 |
| rower | and also.. the system uses like 1,6gb of memory | 00:28 |
| Dragnslcr | Anybody interested in wasting a blank DVD to verify a possible k3b bug? | 00:28 |
| robeph | Daisuke_ prolly this kde4 being oddball | 00:28 |
| allen__ | i spent weeks trying to install it but it wouldn't show in windows update cause of a dell driver...un real! | 00:28 |
| rower | and then i took a memorystick out of my comp and now it caches like 600mb ... | 00:28 |
| rower | allen__: i just love windows.. noot | 00:29 |
| allen__ | ha | 00:29 |
| billyd | Is there an 8.04 AND an 8.04LTS?? | 00:29 |
| allen__ | unfortunatly, i know nothing about linux | 00:29 |
| rower | ehm | 00:29 |
| rower | no | 00:29 |
| allen__ | but here goes | 00:29 |
| Daisuke_Ido | billyd: yes. | 00:29 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ubuntu 8.04 is LTS | 00:29 |
| Daisuke_Ido | kubuntu 8.04 is not | 00:29 |
| allen__ | what does lts mean? | 00:29 |
| rower | aah.. :S | 00:29 |
| Jucato | !lts | allen__ | 00:29 |
| ubottu | allen__: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 00:29 |
| rower | Long time support | 00:29 |
| rower | :D | 00:29 |
| Daisuke_Ido | allen__: long term support | 00:29 |
| rower | Term.. | 00:30 |
| rower | :S | 00:30 |
| allen__ | oh | 00:30 |
| rower | almost got it right.. | 00:30 |
| allen__ | kubuntu doesn't ave that? | 00:30 |
| === rower is now known as Rower | ||
| Rower | ls | 00:30 |
| STSX | How can I add a sound icon to my system tray? I would like one similar to Gnome where I can pull up the sound configuration/volume levels. | 00:30 |
| Dragnslcr | STSX- run kmix | 00:30 |
| Daisuke_Ido | not with this release, for several reasons mostly corresponding to the kde3 and 4 development (or lack thereof) | 00:30 |
| Jucato | allen__: not for this release. it's not something that Kubuntu decides on. it's given by Canonical | 00:30 |
| allen__ | ah ok | 00:30 |
| Jucato | Daisuke_Ido: that's debatable though :D | 00:31 |
| Rower | have to reboot.. | 00:31 |
| allen__ | would it be better then to go with ubuntu? | 00:31 |
| Rower | see you tomorrow at five | 00:31 |
| Rower | ^ | 00:31 |
| billyd | When I tried a distro-upgarde to 8.04, it was ID's as 8.04 LTS in distro-upgrade tool window - must have been a mistake | 00:31 |
| Dragnslcr | Basically, KDE3 won't be supported by the KDE devs for 3 years, and KDE4 isn't ready for general use yet | 00:31 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Jucato: it is, but it's a fairly solid explanation | 00:31 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Dragnslcr did a better job :) | 00:31 |
| * Jucato will not try to repeat the whole debate so early in the morning... | 00:31 | |
| Dragnslcr | Will they try to make Kubuntu 8.10 LTS, or just wait until 10.04? | 00:32 |
| Rower | hehe | 00:32 |
| STSX | Dragnslcr: Thanks, and what do I have to do to get it to load on startup? Can I configure the program directly or do I have to add it to my ~/.kde/Autostart? | 00:32 |
| Daisuke_Ido | no idea - it would make more sense to wait til 10.04 | 00:32 |
| Jucato | Dragnslcr: that will all depend on Canonical's "fairly solid" decusuib | 00:32 |
| Jucato | 'decision* | 00:32 |
| Dragnslcr | STSX- I think you'd have to add it to Autostart | 00:32 |
| allen__ | when will 10.4 come out? | 00:32 |
| Dragnslcr | April 2010 | 00:33 |
| Daisuke_Ido | allen__: april of 2010 | 00:33 |
| Dragnslcr | Versions are always year.month | 00:33 |
| allen__ | oh ok | 00:33 |
| allen__ | ha, that's neat | 00:33 |
| STSX | Dragnslcr: OK, no problem. Thanks. :) | 00:33 |
| Jucato | STSX: if you've read the autostart guide, by default KDE saves and restores the previous session, so you just need to keep it running when you logout | 00:33 |
| Jucato | unless you switched that off, then you'll have to put it into ~/.kde/Autostart/ (or /usr/share/autostart/) | 00:34 |
| Dragnslcr | I'm still waiting for an Autostart manager in System Settings | 00:34 |
| allen__ | ok, million dollar question, can I et Cisco VPN working with WINE? | 00:34 |
| STSX | Jucato: Yes, I did read it, but I deliberately set my KDE up so it doesn't restore the previous session--I start fresh each time. Thanks for the reminder tho. | 00:34 |
| Jucato | Dragnslcr: KDE 4.1 has one (not sure if 4.0 already has) | 00:34 |
| Dragnslcr | Ah, nice | 00:35 |
| Dragnslcr | allen__- I think there's a Linux version of their VPN client | 00:35 |
| allen__ | oh sweet | 00:35 |
| allen__ | that's the last thing i need. I've been testing ubuntu for awhile, but like this interface better | 00:35 |
| Dragnslcr | allen__- vpnc supposedly supports Cisco | 00:36 |
| allen__ | though tehre seems to be less programs that are available with kubuntu, or is it just me? | 00:36 |
| allen__ | i don't know what vpnc is | 00:37 |
| Jucato | Kubuntu and Ubuntu have the same number of packages available | 00:37 |
| Dragnslcr | Less than what, Ubuntu? | 00:37 |
| allen__ | ah ok | 00:37 |
| Dragnslcr | More specifically, the same packages | 00:37 |
| Dragnslcr | They use the same repository | 00:37 |
| allen__ | cool | 00:37 |
| Dragnslcr | You can try installing the vpnc and kvpnc packages, see if that works for you | 00:38 |
| Dragnslcr | I tried it with a Fortigate VPN that we have at our office, but I could never get it to work right | 00:38 |
| allen__ | i may try WINE or the linux version of cisco | 00:39 |
| allen__ | if I can get that to work I can install this for real. I have it ona sun virtualbox now | 00:39 |
| Dragnslcr | I don't know if running a VPN client under Wine will work | 00:39 |
| allen__ | oh | 00:39 |
| allen__ | could be a problem | 00:39 |
| Zefir | Hm, what's the best program for recording your desktop for compiz-fusion show-offs? | 00:39 |
| Dragnslcr | I think Cisco generally does a good job supporting Linux though | 00:40 |
| Jucato | "could be a problem" if you don't try the suggestions first | 00:40 |
| Jucato | before concluding that you have to absolutely use Wine for it :) | 00:40 |
| allen__ | true | 00:40 |
| Dragnslcr | It's been nice for me at home. I don't run anything in Wine anymore, don't need to boot into Windows at all | 00:41 |
| allen__ | there's a few things i would miss, like poker stars.net | 00:41 |
| allen__ | and eve online | 00:41 |
| allen__ | i need Wine for that right? | 00:41 |

| allen__ | i know websites will be fine | 00:42 |

| Dragnslcr | Oh, I thought pokerstars.net just used a web-based client | 00:42 |

| tinin | orangepeelbeef system config - advanced - | 00:57 |
| orangepeelbeef | tinin: thanks | 00:57 |
| Daisuke_Ido | rower: there is a package, i'm thinking libxine-extracodecs | 00:57 |
| tinin | np | 00:57 |
| Daisuke_Ido | had to think what it was for dapper | 00:57 |
| rower | how to copy something into term | 00:58 |
| rower | what was the command :S | 00:58 |
| tinin | rower clicking the mousewheel you can paste what you have just selected | 01:00 |
| robeph | Daisuke_Ido: when I installed the updates using adept, it had like 5 or so openssl pkgs , updating via CL apt-get however only shows one, how can I get it to install all these as they appeared critical | 01:00 |

| ubottu | #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! | 01:00 |
| robeph | Jucato: lol my keyboard at work...has no insert, just a big delete key...took months to get used to that | 01:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | robeph: apparently those, at least, already installed | 01:01 |
| Jucato | <Jucato> robeph: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 01:01 |
| rower | didnt find any codecs | 01:01 |
| rower | gah | 01:01 |
| Jucato | robeph: ouch :/ | 01:01 |
| rower | i have to get to sleep so i can get to work :S | 01:01 |
| robeph | Daisuke_Ido: lemme rephrase this is on production boxes, not this one | 01:01 |
| Jucato | rower: what version of Kubuntu? | 01:01 |
| rower | Daisuke_: didnt find the package | 01:01 |
| rower | 6.06 | 01:01 |
| Daisuke_Ido | robeph: apt-cache policy <packagename> will tell if it's installed | 01:01 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Jucato: was it libxine-extracodecs in dapper? | 01:02 |
| Jucato | rower: "sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs" | 01:02 |
| Jucato | I believe so | 01:02 |
| robeph | Jucato: I cannot | 01:02 |
| rower | yeah know.. didnt work | 01:02 |
| Jucato | BUT you have to enable multiverse | 01:02 |
| Jucato | !repos | 01:02 |
| 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 | 01:02 |
| robeph | Jucato: I need to remain at the current versioning for everything except openssl related stuff | 01:02 |
| rower | package is not availible | 01:02 |
| rower | multiverse? | 01:02 |
| Jucato | rower: <Jucato> BUT you have to enable multiverse | 01:02 |
| Jucato | see the link above | 01:02 |
| rower | i have gotten # out of sources.list | 01:03 |
| rower | and also apt-get update | 01:03 |
| rower | and updatedb | 01:03 |
| robeph | Daisuke_Ido does upgrading a single pkg pull deps? if no how can I say pull an empty dep tree for it | 01:04 |
| robeph | oh, I bet this is my problem | 01:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | if the dependencies aren't there, it will install required dependencies (it wouldn't have installed if it couldn't install deps) | 01:04 |
| robeph | this is gutsy | 01:05 |
| robeph | is there no openssl fix for it? | 01:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | not sure | 01:05 |
| robeph | thats bad news | 01:05 |
| robeph | =\ | 01:05 |
| phoenixz | I just had my disc full and KDE4 went nuts.. Now even after reboot and with enough space available, I keep getting DCOP related errors for kontact, konversation, amarok, katapult, etc.. | 01:06 |
| phoenixz | /usr/bin/iceauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/sven/.ICEauthority ICE Connection rejected! | 01:06 |
| phoenixz | DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed | 01:06 |
| phoenixz | ICE Connection rejected! | 01:07 |
| mot_ | here's a question | 01:07 |
| phoenixz | DCOPServer self-test failed | 01:07 |
| mot_ | let's say i have a folder on my desktop | 01:07 |
| phoenixz | How can I fix this? | 01:07 |
| phoenixz | I already started dcopserver but that one fails too | 01:07 |
| mot_ | ehh nevermind | 01:07 |
| CrashMaster_ | Well | 01:07 |
| CrashMaster_ | He didnt seem happy | 01:07 |
| phoenixz | Could this somehow be related to the openssh update I just had 1 hour ago? Since its some sort of authentication error? | 01:08 |
| rower | hmm didnt got it to work | 01:09 |
| rower | :S | 01:09 |
| rower | gah | 01:09 |
| rower | trying to install vlc | 01:09 |
| rower | lets see how that works | 01:09 |
| Jucato | phoenixz: dcop doesn't use ssh afaik. so it wouldn't be related | 01:09 |
| Jucato | more like X-related errors (since it mentions .ICEauthority) | 01:10 |
| Zefir | Could someone help me? I wonder what is it that the guy is using in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPecBxM2f6c&feature=related It's on the top of the screen, he's doing some pretty neat things with it at the end. | 01:10 |
| ign0ramus | hi all. easy one for you: what is the package name the latest Hardy qt package? Right now, I only have 3.3.8 installed... | 01:10 |
| Jucato | !info libqt4 | 01:10 |
| ubottu | Package libqt4 does not exist in hardy | 01:10 |
| Jucato | er.. | 01:10 |
| ign0ramus | that's the problem i ran into ;) | 01:11 |
| phoenixz | Jucato, okay.. but still, seems like DCOP does no longer want to start.. and without DCOP, no KDE it seemns\ | 01:11 |
| mot_ | why is it that if i add myself to group 'vboxusers' it removes me from group 'admin'? | 01:11 |
| Jucato | mot_: how are you adding yourself to the group? | 01:12 |
| mot_ | usermod -G vboxusers | 01:12 |
| mot_ | (to use virtualbox) | 01:12 |
| mot_ | and whenever i do that, it automatically removes me from 'admin' | 01:12 |
| Jucato | oh, I think you're supposed to put -a there | 01:12 |
| Jucato | -a -G | 01:12 |
| mot_ | -aG ? | 01:13 |
| mot_ | what does a do? | 01:13 |
| Jucato | "append" | 01:13 |
| Jucato | a plain -G will just replace all your secondary groups with the group(s) you specify. -a will make sure that it adds them instead of replacing them | 01:13 |
| Jucato | you can also just use the GUI in System Settings | 01:13 |
| mot_ | thanks | 01:14 |
| mot_ | got it | 01:14 |
| rower | haha now i got it working :D | 01:14 |
| rower | thanx mates | 01:14 |
| Jucato | ign0ramus: what are you trying to do with Qt4? | 01:17 |
| ign0ramus | jucato: install vidalia | 01:18 |
| Jucato | ign0ramus: compiling? | 01:18 |
| rower | it works :D | 01:18 |
| rower | now im going to bed | 01:18 |
| Jucato | rower: great! good night | 01:18 |
| ign0ramus | jucato: yes. older versions are qt-dependent | 01:18 |
| Jucato | ign0ramus: that makes it simpler. install libqt4-dev :D | 01:19 |
| ign0ramus | jucato: are you kidding me? | 01:19 |
| Jucato | er wait | 01:19 |
| ign0ramus | *doh* | 01:19 |
| Jucato | does it need qt3 or qt4? | 01:19 |
| ign0ramus | 4 or greater | 01:19 |
| Jucato | if qt3: libqt3-mt-dev | 01:19 |
| Jucato | ah ok. libqt4-dev indeed | 01:19 |
| ign0ramus | jucato: apt is telling me i have qt4, but many apps (not just vidalia) are reporting qt 3.3.8 | 01:20 |
| Jucato | hint: if what you are compiling complains about missing headers, look for the -dev packages for those packages | 01:20 |
| Jucato | hm.. I think you need to set it to use qt4 (qt3 is being used by default) | 01:21 |
| nohelphere | now I need qemu to have a different IP | 01:21 |
| ign0ramus | jucato: where do i point the compiler (where is qt4 stored)? | 01:21 |
| Jucato | hm.. hold on... | 01:21 |
| nohelphere | i need to make qemu have a different IP than the host | 01:24 |
| ign0ramus | jucato: restarting x brb | 01:25 |
| === nohelphere is now known as nohelphere{away} | ||
| Jucato | ign0ramus: I have your answer now | 01:27 |
| Jucato | "sudo update-alternatives --config qmake" | 01:27 |
| Jucato | to switch between which Qt to use as default | 01:27 |
| ign0ramus | jucato: interesting. i shall try now. thx | 01:28 |
| ign0ramus | jucato: done. should i restart x now? | 01:29 |
| Jucato | why? | 01:29 |
| ign0ramus | because compiler still complains | 01:29 |
| ign0ramus | oh wait... | 01:29 |
| ign0ramus | i need to "make clean" yeh? | 01:30 |
| Jucato | perhaps | 01:30 |
| Jucato | you suse you chose the Qt 4 qmake? | 01:30 |
| ign0ramus | jucato: yes, but I'll run once more ;) | 01:30 |
| CrashMaster_ | Jucato: You seem like a pretty smart person. Gotta question for you, if you find a free moment. | 01:30 |
| ign0ramus | jucato: "Using '/usr/bin/qmake-qt4' to provide 'qmake'." | 01:31 |
| Jucato | CrashMaster_: if I can answer | 01:31 |
| CrashMaster_ | Jucato: You're familiar with the ctrl-alt-bkspc making the Xserver restart, yes? | 01:32 |
| Jucato | um yes | 01:32 |
| ign0ramus | jucato: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11955/ | 01:35 |
| Jucato | ign0ramus: what is the result of "qmake -v" | 01:36 |
| ign0ramus | Jucato: "Using Qt version 4.4.0 in /usr/lib" | 01:37 |
| CrashMaster_ | Jucato: Um. Nevermind. I just realized im high and don't remember what I wanted. Thanks anyway though. | 01:37 |
| ign0ramus | wtf? | 01:37 |
| Jucato | heh :) | 01:37 |
| Jucato | ign0ramus: strange... | 01:38 |
| ign0ramus | jucato: also, i have a sysmon running that is also reporting qt 3.3.8 | 01:38 |
| Jucato | what do you mean by "reporting"? | 01:38 |
| Jucato | well it's pointing to the correct intended Qt 4 version... not sure why vidalia is still complaining | 01:38 |
| ign0ramus | Jucato: the system monitor shows what version of kde and qt i'm running, and it says "kde 3.5.9/qt 3.3.8" | 01:38 |
| Jucato | well of course. KDE 3 uses Qt 3 | 01:39 |
| Jucato | no problem there :) | 01:39 |
| ign0ramus | Jucato: " ... Qt development packages, or you can specify an explicit path using --with-qt-dir"... what about this option? | 01:40 |
| Jucato | Qt dev packages = libqt4-dev. not sure how to use --with-qt-dir... | 01:40 |
| ign0ramus | me neither :/ | 01:40 |
| Jucato | could it be that it's incompatible with 4.4 :) | 01:40 |
| Jucato | best to ask in vidalia's forums or channel if they have one | 01:41 |
| Jucato | (you could probably try asking in #qt as well) | 01:41 |
| Jucato | but that's usually for programmers | 01:41 |
| ign0ramus | Jucato: that's a good point... i'll try the SVN version that uses cmake and see if i have better luck | 01:41 |
| ign0ramus | thanks | 01:41 |
| Jucato | (shouldn't really change a thing... cmake doesn't replace qt...) | 01:42 |
| ign0ramus | Jucato: there's also a hardy .deb package... maybe i'll try that | 01:42 |
| Jucato | :) | 01:42 |
| pottytheshitter | is wubi safe? | 01:42 |
| Jucato | so why are you trying to compile again? :) | 01:42 |
| Jucato | pottytheshitter: can you please change your nick | 01:42 |
| pottytheshitter | yeah 1 sec | 01:43 |
| === pottytheshitter is now known as potty | ||
| ign0ramus | Jucato: because for some reason, the .deb package installs, but the gui keeps freezing | 01:43 |
| ign0ramus | Jucato: believe me, i don't compile as a first resort ;) | 01:44 |
| Jucato | bug? :) | 01:44 |
| ign0ramus | Jucato: prolly. only since updating to either hardy or kernel 2.6.24-17 does it not work any more. but nothing about it on their docs page... | 01:45 |
| ign0ramus | Jucato: i think it was the kernel upgrade-- could that cause problems? | 01:45 |
| * ign0ramus is a nub | 01:45 | |
| Jucato | no idea... I don't even know what vidalia is :) | 01:46 |
| ign0ramus | Jucato: a frontend for tor/privoxy - anonymous web-browsing | 01:46 |
| o0Chris0o | hey guys | 01:52 |
| o0Chris0o | how do I slow the speed of my scroll? | 01:52 |
| o0Chris0o | I got it down to one line | 01:52 |
| o0Chris0o | but its still scrolling fast | 01:52 |
| robeph | uh | 01:53 |
| robeph | if its scrolling one line per click / press | 01:53 |
| robeph | how is it too fast | 01:53 |
| o0Chris0o | Id like to know why too | 01:53 |
| o0Chris0o | thats what I am trying to figure out | 01:53 |
| robeph | whatre you using to scroll? | 01:53 |
| o0Chris0o | mouse wheel | 01:53 |
| robeph | o | 01:54 |
| robeph | is it fast? or is it like | 01:54 |
| robeph | you hit it and it goes down 50 lines | 01:54 |
| robeph | it's Zaxis that'll be set somewhere for mouse settings | 01:54 |
| robeph | xorg.conf used to have some settings | 01:54 |
| robeph | haven't touched in ages | 01:54 |
| robeph | look for zaxis / Zaxis , forget how its cased | 01:54 |
| robeph | it'll have something like minspeed /maxspeed | 01:55 |
| o0Chris0o | look for it where? | 01:55 |
| robeph | xorg.conf? | 01:56 |
| robeph | the ocnfig file for xorg | 01:56 |
| o0Chris0o | I see | 01:56 |
| robeph | ...dur... ubuntu does some oddballs with the configging, I dunno where it stores it if it's just working™ | 01:56 |
| o0Chris0o | I see | 01:56 |
| robeph | in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:57 |
| o0Chris0o | brb | 01:57 |
| robeph | although wait | 01:57 |
| robeph | minspeed is pad speed on touchpads | 01:58 |
| robeph | like my lappy | 01:58 |
| robeph | hrm | 01:58 |
| robeph | scroll wheel is just a "button" | 01:58 |
| robeph | it's like clicking any other button, just has a vertical roll | 01:58 |
| robeph | thing is you may be sending multiple events per "click" | 01:59 |
| robeph | does the scroll wheel click when ya roll it? | 02:00 |
| robeph | oh he left | 02:00 |
| robeph | der | 02:00 |
| robeph | and I missed the ice cream truck | 02:01 |

| alucardromero | Could somebody slap me with the correct way to compile purple-plugin-pack for finch? | 02:25 |
| robeph | uhm | 02:25 |
| alucardromero | I do ./configure and it displays "build for finch... NO" | 02:25 |
| alucardromero | I'd like that to say yes. | 02:26 |
| robeph | does it not come in binary? | 02:26 |
| robeph | lol | 02:26 |
| robeph | then edit it =) | 02:26 |
| alucardromero | lol | 02:26 |
| robeph | and put "yes" in there | 02:26 |
| alucardromero | Imagine? | 02:26 |
| robeph | although it won't do much I don't think | 02:26 |
| alucardromero | LoL | 02:26 |
| alucardromero | I did download the binary, but nothing showed up in finch. | 02:26 |

| o0Chris0o | robeph: I have...I know I know don't say it! Microsoft wireless mouse | 02:27 |
| robeph | no no | 02:27 |
| robeph | it's sorta that problem though | 02:28 |
| robeph | ;) | 02:28 |
| o0Chris0o | figures | 02:28 |
| robeph | they cache some sorta weird crap if you can call it caching | 02:28 |
| robeph | try this cutesly little fix | 02:28 |
| robeph | you dual boot windows yeh? | 02:28 |
| o0Chris0o | no | 02:28 |
| robeph | o | 02:28 |
| o0Chris0o | no winders for me | 02:28 |
| robeph | well crap | 02:28 |
| o0Chris0o | lol | 02:28 |
| robeph | that was the prbolem most had | 02:28 |
| robeph | but try this anyhow | 02:28 |
| alucardromero | robeph: The system has no monitor, and it's server edition... so, no. | 02:28 |
| o0Chris0o | I got wine | 02:28 |
| robeph | unplug it and stick it back in =s | 02:28 |
| o0Chris0o | ahh ok | 02:28 |
| alucardromero | I did use apt-get though but that was pidgin-plugin-pack | 02:29 |
| robeph | o0Chris0o: some weird thing about the base station caching commands on the scroll wheel yada yada wtf and why, but it seemed to fix most peoples problem that I read on various forums | 02:29 |
| robeph | like it would send 6 events for each scrolly | 02:29 |
| robeph | alucardromero: hrmm, let's see.. | 02:30 |
| o0Chris0o | robeph: I see | 02:30 |
| robeph | o0Chris0o: did that helop by chance? heh | 02:30 |
| Ttech | Hai | 02:30 |
| robeph | I dunno why it would to be frankfully honest, but like 6 diff posts (and multiples within each) said that helped theirs | 02:31 |
| robeph | alucardromero: I'm not sure why it won't build | 02:31 |
| alucardromero | I'm not sure either. | 02:31 |
| alucardromero | I don't know if there's a flag that's there I'm not aware of... or if compiling some metamorphic case of diarrhea... I'm just not sure. | 02:32 |
| robeph | well it's not even getting that far | 02:32 |
| robeph | it's just choking o ./configure right? | 02:32 |

| o0Chris0o | they are KDE system sounds | 02:35 |
| alucardromero | Yeah. | 02:35 |
| robeph | o0Chris0o: what are ya playing? | 02:35 |

| robeph | o | 02:36 |
| o0Chris0o | not sure exactly what I am using | 02:36 |
| o0Chris0o | I think Alsa | 02:36 |
| robeph | hmm | 02:36 |
| o0Chris0o | yeah | 02:36 |
| o0Chris0o | !alsa | 02:36 |
| 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 | 02:36 |
| robeph | I mean at root you use alsa | 02:36 |
| robeph | but I'm not sure if it has some mixer that may be joshing things up | 02:37 |
| o0Chris0o | brb gonan check these sites out | 02:37 |
| robeph | arts thats it | 02:37 |
| robeph | wait | 02:37 |
| robeph | is there sounds when you do stuff like close windowS? | 02:37 |
| robeph | i hear the startup racket, but never anything else =\ | 02:38 |
| robeph | and should arts be running two processes? | 02:38 |
| robeph | oh nm had system noise down ^^ | 02:38 |

| jmichaelx | 3.5 | 02:47 |
| jmichaelx | well, i have kde4 installed, too, but have not been using it much | 02:48 |
| maduser | I am having no problems with 4 | 02:48 |
| CrashMaster_ | desktop or lappy? | 02:48 |
| jmichaelx | CrashMaster_: desktop | 02:48 |
| CrashMaster_ | then yes | 02:48 |
| CrashMaster_ | prior to upping the drivers, lose the old ones | 02:48 |
| jmichaelx | CrashMaster_: ty | 02:48 |
| jmichaelx | i am only assuming that the drivers i get from envy will be newer... | 02:49 |
| jmichaelx | i was also wondering what the difference was between 'envy' and 'envyng-common' | 02:50 |
| CrashMaster_ | based on the package names, i'd say that envy-ng-common is the core app, and that envy is a front end of some kind | 02:50 |
| jmichaelx | could be, except that i have envy installed, but not envyng-common... would the ng possibly mean 'no gui'? | 02:51 |
| CrashMaster_ | I believe so | 02:51 |
| jmichaelx | ah ok, that makes sense | 02:52 |
| jmichaelx | ok, i am going to try to change nvidia drivers and see what i have | 02:52 |
| jmichaelx | thanks for the help | 02:52 |
| o0Chris0o | anyone familiar with the kubuntu sound system and troubleshooting? I need some help plz | 02:54 |
| o0Chris0o | I am playing a few sounds clips and it sounds like it is scratchy and it over lapse..any way to fix that? | 02:55 |
| pyarra | hi folks, I'm happy to report that my screen-switching issue from Monday now has a workaround | 02:57 |
| CrashMaster_ | pyarra: I dont remember you or your issue, but I'll happily take credit for the fix! | 02:58 |
| pyarra | seems the default kernel is the culprit - an older kernel allows the screen switch to work | 02:58 |
| fildo | that nvidia issue is with the driver | 02:58 |
| yao_ziyuan | i just saved a session profile in konsole. | 02:58 |
| fildo | u have to download it from nvidia and install it that way | 02:58 |
| yao_ziyuan | now how do i load it? | 02:58 |
| pyarra | CrashMaster: I owe it all to you :-) | 02:58 |
| o0Chris0o | !sound | 02:58 |
| 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 | 02:58 |
| pyarra | actually, I don't, I found the workaround myself | 02:59 |
| yao_ziyuan | !session | 02:59 |
| ubottu | To make programs start up automatically when you log into your KDE session, run all programs that you want to be started and close all other programs, then select 'Save Session' in the K menu. Alternatively, create a !symlink to the wanted program in ~/.kde/Autostart - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 02:59 |
| CrashMaster_ | awwwww | 02:59 |
| yao_ziyuan | !sessionprofile | 02:59 |
| ubottu | Factoid sessionprofile not found | 02:59 |
| pyarra | but hey, you seem like a nice IRC entity, you can have some credit too | 02:59 |

| shane_ | i checked i have the driver but no devise yet | 03:21 |
| CrashMaster_ | shane_: think you have to reboot now | 03:21 |
| shane_ | i do have to run modprobe first though right | 03:21 |
| CrashMaster_ | no, | 03:22 |
| CrashMaster_ | the ndiswrapper -m takes care of that | 03:22 |

| ubottu | KDE 4.0.4 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0.3 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.4.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 | 03:29 |
| ihcus | hi ppl ..can anyone ..tell me which one is better , like kubuntu or ubuntu ......i am a newbie and i am trying ubuntu and am interested in trying kubuntu | 03:30 |
| Jucato | !better | ihcus | 03:30 |
| ubottu | ihcus: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 03:30 |
| flaccid | but we like the K | 03:30 |
| Jucato | ihcus: of course, you are asking in #kubuntu, what answer do you expect to get? ;) | 03:30 |
| shane_ | ok crashmaster i restarted an still no device | 03:30 |
| CrashMaster_ | I.. what?1 | 03:31 |
| ihcus | jucato : hahahha nice one .....but still can u tell me where kubuntu excels over ubuntu | 03:31 |
| CrashMaster_ | grr | 03:31 |
| shane_ | it says driver install and device present | 03:31 |
| CrashMaster_ | sudo ndiswrapper -l | 03:31 |
| Jucato | ihcus: Kubuntu uses KDE. that alone is enough reason (for me) :P | 03:31 |
| o0Chris0o | !fuse | 03:31 |
| ubottu | FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 03:31 |
| CrashMaster_ | sudo lsmod | grep ndiswrapper | 03:31 |
| Jucato | ihcus: an old article, might still be relevant: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/kdegnome | 03:32 |
| shane_ | nothin showed up just new line | 03:32 |
| Jucato | ihcus: although I'd have to painfully admit that Ubuntu does have some development advantages by virtue of the fact that it gets more attention (it is the poster child after all). but that's just Ubuntu-specific. doesn't apply to KDE vs. GNOME situations in general... | 03:33 |
| CrashMaster_ | hm | 03:33 |
| CrashMaster_ | run modprobe then | 03:33 |
| shane_ | kk | 03:34 |
| shane_ | ok now im trully stumped | 03:44 |

| bruce_ | is a server hard to set using kubuntu? | 05:29 |
| bruce_ | set up | 05:30 |
| bruce_ | anyone here? | 05:30 |
| genii | Yup | 05:31 |
| genii | bruce_: I haven't had much issues with server install. | 05:31 |
| bruce_ | wasn't sure if it was working | 05:32 |
| genii | Remember no graphical interface however | 05:32 |
| genii | eg: no gnome or KDE etc | 05:32 |
| level1 | hi genii | 05:33 |
| bruce_ | is there a setup program | 05:33 |
| bruce_ | ? | 05:33 |
| genii | bruce_: Yes, the server install cd runs a text based installer | 05:33 |
| level1 | bruce_: have you every installed kubuntu using the "alternate install cd"? | 05:33 |
| genii | level1: Hi, btw :) | 05:34 |
| bruce_ | I just did but I do not know what to do with it now that it is installed | 05:34 |
| bruce_ | I just have a command prompt | 05:34 |
| genii | bruce_: Traditionally no desktop is on server. You would normally be ssh in from something with a gui to administer it, or to use web control panels for whatever app to administer like phpmyadmin for mysql or so on | 05:35 |
| genii | bruce_: Normally you would have some idea of what use you want for it like serving webpages or so, and then develop a roadmap from there | 05:36 |
| bruce_ | so after you install it you just log on from another computer? | 05:36 |
| bruce_ | I just want to use it as a home file server. | 05:36 |
| genii | bruce_: You will just get the same command prompt of course. | 05:36 |
| dwidmann_laptop | ssh ftw | 05:37 |
| level1 | bruce_: yeah, you find out the ip address of the server, then, from another computer, do "ssh <username>@<ipaddress>" and you'll be able to run commands | 05:37 |
| level1 | thats ssh | 05:37 |
| dwidmann_laptop | level1: you can use the hostname too y'know | 05:37 |
| genii | bruce_: So then look into the web app of SWAT and install it along with samba using commandline tool of apt-get or synaptic or so. Then you can go by web browser to the SWAT page of the server from another box | 05:37 |
| genii | bruce_: You might get some server-specific help also in #ubuntu-server channel | 05:38 |
| level1 | dwidmann_laptop: yeah, that requires extra setup with editing host files and such | 05:38 |
| level1 | I was thinking about getting a server but what would I do with it? | 05:39 |
| genii | Serve things? ;) | 05:39 |
| dwidmann_laptop | level1: has worked out of the box with all 4 of my kubuntu setups | 05:39 |
| bruce_ | thanks | 05:39 |
| level1 | dwidmann_laptop: no, no, no, you have to add the hostname to /etc/hosts... otherwise, how would your computer know what the ip address of your server could possibly be? | 05:40 |
| level1 | what is it supposed to guess? | 05:40 |
| dwidmann_laptop | level1: avahi | 05:41 |
| calcmandan | How does one get k3b to support double layer dvd writing? It worked in 6.06 and I can't find anything related that helps me out. Thanks. | 05:43 |
| dwidmann_laptop | calcmandan: I should assume that if it were going to work it would be working ootb ... | 05:44 |
| calcmandan | dwidmann_laptop: me too. | 05:45 |
| calcmandan | they don't usually take away critical features like dvd burning from dvd burning software, but meh. | 05:46 |
| dwidmann_laptop | calcmandan: what sort of messages does it give you about it? | 05:46 |
| genii | Mine burns dual-layer no issues, clean 8.04 install | 05:46 |
| calcmandan | genii: me too. | 05:46 |
| calcmandan | K3b does not support copying multi-session DVDs. | 05:47 |
| calcmandan | it did before, that's what's pissing me off. | 05:47 |
| dwidmann_laptop | if k3b doesn't calcmandan, perhaps dd does :) | 05:47 |
| calcmandan | dwidmann_laptop: oh i have other software that works. but my other half is used to and comfortable with k3b. I'm not always around to burn dvd's. | 05:48 |
| dwidmann_laptop | calcmandan: will it copy okay if you tell it to create ISO image only, then burn with the ISO image? | 05:49 |
| ubuntu__ | gygy | 05:49 |
| calcmandan | dwidmann_laptop: no, i tried every combination. i'm sure it's a library i'm missing or something. | 05:50 |
| calcmandan | installed libk3b-dev.. going to reboot and see if it works then. | 05:54 |
| harolddong | all of my non-linux partitions seem to be really fickle about automouting. Usually if they dont want to mount booting into windows and then back into kubuntu seems to fix it for some reason but now that's not even helping | 05:58 |
| harolddong | does hardy handle driving in a new way? Because I never had this problem in gutsy | 05:58 |
| Xbehave | driving? | 05:59 |
| harolddong | *does hardy handle drive mounting | 06:00 |
| harolddong | sory | 06:00 |
| harolddong | I can see the partitions in the file manager but they just won't mount | 06:01 |
| Xbehave | oh right, i wouldnt think so itll just pass the paramerters to mount | 06:01 |
| Xbehave | are they in your fstab? | 06:01 |
| harolddong | yes they are in fstab. I used the diskmounter utility when I first started having this problem to add them because I figured that kubuntu itself must have been doing it wrong... but the problem persists | 06:03 |
| Xbehave | if they are ther then try mount -a as should show if they can be mounted | 06:04 |
| Xbehave | i suspect that theyre being picked up with errors, so adding a line to the end of fstab that says to mount read only on errors should get around it, but i dont know what the command is atm | 06:06 |
| harolddong | "sudo mount -a" made everything mount but why arent they doing it automatically? | 06:06 |
| harolddong | hmm | 06:06 |

| uhriventis | Uhg, Kubuntu runs to slow I'm going to have to switch back to XP | 07:57 |
| uhriventis | (which isn't a bad OS no matter what anyone says | 07:57 |
| uhriventis | :^( | 07:58 |
| === tmske__ is now known as tmske | ||
| uhriventis | I wish I didn't have to | 07:58 |
| Daisuke_Ido | what are your system specs | 07:59 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it's always better to try to pinpoint the problem rather than give up | 07:59 |
| uhriventis | Well, my specs are older. But, they ran FAST on XP encluding newer games. | 07:59 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and there are a whole lot of people who would argue the concept of anything Windows being good. | 07:59 |
| uhriventis | I run a 2.3 celeron 80 gig HD 64 meg vid card on Linux only because my 256 ATI won't work on linux | 08:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | are you running the 3.5 or 4.0 release of kubuntu? | 08:00 |
| uhriventis | 3.5 | 08:00 |
| uhriventis | And I understand Windows isn't the best | 08:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and what's the newer ati model? | 08:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | because most should work | 08:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | now, anyway | 08:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | a year ago, no way | 08:00 |
| uhriventis | But you got to think they produce millions of disc and they all work on all systems. But, linux only works on select few in my experience | 08:00 |
| uhriventis | Ubuntu base linux os's is the only one that I could get to work | 08:01 |
| uhriventis | It's an older ATI | 08:01 |
| uhriventis | 9250 | 08:01 |
| Daisuke_Ido | windows works on so many things because hardware companies are at their beck and call. | 08:01 |
| uhriventis | Which if you look on google. ALOT of people have problems with | 08:01 |
| uhriventis | Which is good | 08:01 |
| uhriventis | And bad | 08:01 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and yeah, that's not the happiest card in linux | 08:01 |
| mateusz | true | 08:01 |
| uhriventis | Windows is an addiction | 08:01 |
| uhriventis | But, it works | 08:02 |
| uhriventis | You know? | 08:02 |
| mateusz | xp is the best OS from microsoft | 08:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | uhriventis: i've got my chip, i've been clean for two years now | 08:02 |
| uhriventis | yes | 08:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | mateusz: that's like saying aids is the best virus from a hooker. | 08:02 |
| uhriventis | Do you run the Radeon 9250? | 08:02 |
| gloria | ciao | 08:02 |
| uhriventis | Daisuke, I'm not bashing linux. I LOVE the idea of it | 08:02 |
| uhriventis | But, it's just not working for me. | 08:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | but yeah, i have to concede that 2k and xp are the closest MS has gotten to getting it right | 08:03 |
| mateusz | what do u think of Windows Vista? | 08:03 |
| uhriventis | And I'm getting a little tired of editing everything to make it work | 08:03 |
| uhriventis | Hate vista | 08:03 |
| mateusz | same | 08:03 |
| uhriventis | 20gig os?!? | 08:03 |
| uhriventis | Ugg | 08:03 |
| mateusz | fucking hell | 08:03 |
| mateusz | yeah | 08:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | mateusz: vista? i can't use the words i would like in this channel. | 08:03 |
| uhriventis | XP is 2 gigs | 08:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | though you did. please watch your language in here | 08:03 |
| flaccid_ | they tried desktop effects and ended up with effects+bloat | 08:03 |
| mateusz | ok | 08:04 |
| flaccid_ | :p | 08:04 |
| mateusz | im sorry it's just that it is a bad OS i mean real bad | 08:04 |
| mateusz | had so many issues with running Crysis | 08:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i find that vista is in the same category as ME | 08:04 |
| uhriventis | No but, seriously Linux is a awesome idea and if I could it would be my main OS. But, I guess since my hardware is so outdated and not supported by ANY linux os then I just got to 'downgrade' | 08:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | they aren't bad OSes... they're bad excuses for OSes :) | 08:05 |
| mateusz | shame | 08:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | uhriventis: that does suck, it's an enlightening experience | 08:05 |
| mateusz | linux should be easy to run | 08:05 |
| uhriventis | I tired Fedora it wouldn't even install with my VID card. Debian the same, dream linux the same, ubuntu would work just be slow as hell | 08:05 |
| mateusz | easier than xp | 08:05 |
| uhriventis | "should" | 08:06 |
| mateusz | dang | 08:06 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it doesn't seem like there's any obvious reason your hardware would be causing that many problems... | 08:06 |
| uhriventis | tried | 08:06 |
| uhriventis | Radeon 9250 just seems to have a lot of problems | 08:06 |
| mateusz | mayby you should upgrade | 08:06 |
| uhriventis | If I could fix it I wouldn't go back to windows. | 08:06 |
| uhriventis | Upgrading takes money. :^( | 08:06 |
| mateusz | hmmm | 08:06 |
| mateusz | is only the Video card the main issue? | 08:07 |
| uhriventis | Seriously goto google and type in Radeon 9250 Pro Linux | 08:07 |
| uhriventis | See all the problems | 08:07 |
| uhriventis | yes | 08:07 |
| uhriventis | Just the vid card | 08:07 |
| mateusz | hmmm | 08:07 |
| mateusz | and u running on a desktop? | 08:07 |
| uhriventis | Yes | 08:07 |
| flaccid_ | ati * cough | 08:07 |
| uhriventis | not a laptop if thats what you mean | 08:08 |
| uhriventis | Yes ATI | 08:08 |
| uhriventis | ! | 08:08 |
| flaccid_ | the problem is ati, not linux. | 08:08 |
| mateusz | does your motherboard have VGA support or DVI? | 08:08 |
| uhriventis | but even though it's ATI linux should give it more support seeing as it's the biggest gfx make4r | 08:08 |
| uhriventis | you know?\ | 08:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | uhriventis: it isn't, though. | 08:08 |
| uhriventis | Vidia is under it | 08:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | nvidia's a whole lot bigger. | 08:08 |
| flaccid_ | uhriventis: yes i've known since ATI has existed .. :) | 08:08 |
| uhriventis | ATI sells more | 08:09 |
| Daisuke_Ido | wrong again, but i'll overlook that | 08:09 |
| flaccid_ | who cares about how much is sold.. | 08:09 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it's not linux that isn't supporting ati | 08:09 |
| uhriventis | I have VGA support I don't know about dvi | 08:09 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it's ati that isn't supporting linux. | 08:09 |
| flaccid_ | if you suppot an OS do it properly and preferably no BLOB | 08:09 |
| mateusz | im running a 8800GT on my desktop and 8400 GM on my HP Pavillion DV9000 | 08:09 |
| Daisuke_Ido | exactly | 08:09 |
| mateusz | works great | 08:09 |
| flaccid_ | im on 9600GT 512mb w/ beta driver | 08:10 |
| uhriventis | 8800 is nividia though. Linux should give the same amount of respect. | 08:10 |
| mateusz | lucky | 08:10 |
| uhriventis | I think | 08:10 |
| flaccid_ | linux, respect, huh? | 08:10 |
| mateusz | I agree | 08:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it. is. not. linux. | 08:10 |
| uhriventis | Also ATI has left it's drivers open | 08:10 |
| flaccid_ | ATI is the problem here, nobody else. | 08:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | uhriventis: WRONG | 08:10 |
| mateusz | try contacing nvidia and they can FTP the driver to you | 08:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | they have opened the *specs* which is a whole lot different than opening the drivers | 08:11 |
| flaccid_ | yeah only recent has ati announced new driver support | 08:11 |
| uhriventis | ATI has open drivers man | 08:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | no they most certainly do not. | 08:11 |
| flaccid_ | uhriventis: URL please | 08:11 |
| uhriventis | Yes they do | 08:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | URL. | 08:11 |
| uhriventis | Go to ati | 08:11 |
| uhriventis | . com | 08:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | they don't. they opened the specs | 08:11 |
| uhriventis | They offer linux drivers | 08:11 |
| flaccid_ | uhriventis: where abouts | 08:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | not the driver code | 08:11 |
| flaccid_ | uhriventis: thats binary not source. | 08:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | they offer a binary linux driver, that's not source, and therefore not open | 08:11 |
| mateusz | ill be right back | 08:11 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Hello everyone! | 08:11 |
| uhriventis | I know ATI has opened drivers | 08:12 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you know wrong | 08:12 |
| uhriventis | I've heard it a million places | 08:12 |
| flaccid_ | uhriventis: prove t please | 08:12 |
| uhriventis | Though I can't conferm | 08:12 |
| flaccid_ | don't believe everything you hear | 08:12 |
| Daisuke_Ido | uhriventis: as i've said a few times, they opened the specs, that doesn't mean their drivers are open. | 08:12 |
| MilhousePunkRock | What's the complete approach to overcome the SSH vulnerability? Update, remove old keys, create new keys, trash known_hosts, anything else? | 08:12 |
| uhriventis | But either way Linux programmers make bootleg copies of all the games I play that are just as good. Why not drivers? | 08:12 |
| flaccid_ | MilhousePunkRock: just a secure password | 08:12 |
| flaccid_ | uhriventis: heard of reverse engineering? | 08:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | MilhousePunkRock: or just ignore it because it's been an issue for two years now and they're just now realizing this. | 08:13 |
| uhriventis | Yeah | 08:13 |
| flaccid_ | closed = closed. | 08:13 |
| uhriventis | Soviets did it on our B-29 :^) | 08:13 |
| flaccid_ | our ? | 08:13 |
| uhriventis | and 52 | 08:13 |
| uhriventis | Yes | 08:13 |
| flaccid_ | who is our ? | 08:13 |
| uhriventis | US | 08:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | uhriventis: it's not as simple as you would seem to think | 08:13 |
| flaccid_ | lol | 08:14 |
| flaccid_ | im not one of you uhriventis | 08:14 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Daisuke_Ido: I can't preach how secure Linux is compared to other inferior OSes and be the weakest part of the chain myself... | 08:14 |
| flaccid_ | so don't say our. more than the US in this world. | 08:14 |
| uhriventis | One of me? | 08:14 |
| uhriventis | You mean american? | 08:14 |
| flaccid_ | US is an american country | 08:14 |
| uhriventis | Hahah flaccid you think all americans think the US is the world huh? | 08:14 |
| flaccid_ | uhriventis: no i don't. i know a lot that don''t | 08:14 |
| MilhousePunkRock | flaccid_: All my passwords are usually combinations of two words which are probably not found connected in a dictionary, and in leet speak (only place leet speak is appropriate for, ever) | 08:15 |
| uhriventis | Well I don't either. So don't go confusing. I just forget this is a world wide project | 08:15 |
| flaccid_ | sounds good MPR | 08:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | if you would like to give it a shot, go grab the open source radeon driver (not ati's) and implement full 3d functionality. i've got $20 taht says you choke. | 08:15 |
| flaccid_ | uhriventis: as do a lof you americans | 08:15 |
| uhriventis | Which driver? | 08:15 |
| flaccid_ | !ot | 08:15 |
| ubottu | #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! | 08:15 |
| flaccid_ | if you have a specific question on supporting ati feel free to ask | 08:16 |
| uhriventis | You get stuck in a country so wide that isn't surrounded by 5 other countries that speak different languages and you would end up the same | 08:16 |
| uhriventis | See that's the difference. Europe is so tightly wound | 08:16 |
| Daisuke_Ido | nationalist | 08:16 |
| uhriventis | Me? | 08:17 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Back to my original question, flaccid_ and Daisuke_Ido, are the steps I outlined sufficient? | 08:17 |
| flaccid_ | what does europe have to do with it. don't generalise. | 08:17 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i see why you fear fixing your issues with linux, now... | 08:17 |
| Daisuke_Ido | MilhousePunkRock: should be. | 08:17 |
| uhriventis | ... | 08:17 |
| uhriventis | HAHAH | 08:17 |
| flaccid_ | MilhousePunkRock: unless you goto vpn as a requirement | 08:17 |
| uhriventis | I'm a capitlist right? | 08:17 |
| uhriventis | Haha | 08:17 |
| flaccid_ | who knows | 08:17 |
| flaccid_ | you are annoying mostly | 08:18 |
| uhriventis | Haha | 08:18 |
| Daisuke_Ido | uhriventis: i'm an american, and even i can't stand your type. | 08:18 |
| flaccid_ | hehe | 08:18 |
| MilhousePunkRock | flaccid_: No inbound vpn here, and I wonder if I can still use my university's vpn any longer now that I am not a student anymore... | 08:18 |
| uhriventis | And why? | 08:18 |
| uhriventis | Because linux isn't working for me? | 08:18 |
| flaccid_ | cool | 08:18 |
| flaccid_ | you mean ATI isnt working for you | 08:18 |
| uhriventis | You just hate to hear windows works for me and not linux? | 08:18 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Someone just said !ot already, right? | 08:18 |
| uhriventis | Well lopok | 08:18 |
| uhriventis | look | 08:18 |
| uhriventis | Windows worked with ati linux does not. | 08:18 |
| uhriventis | Where;s the prolem I can fix? | 08:19 |
| flaccid_ | and you are so ignorant that you blame the OS. | 08:19 |
| flaccid_ | should i laugh? | 08:19 |
| uhriventis | I can't change ati | 08:19 |
| MilhousePunkRock | uhriventis: That's ATI's fault, not linux's though... | 08:19 |
| uhriventis | But I can change the OS | 08:19 |
| flaccid_ | who can change ati? probably only ati... this is the point so get over it | 08:19 |
| Daisuke_Ido | because you've been talking out of your ass for the past half hour, spouting half-truths and lies. i rarely if ever say this, but go on back to windows, you deserve it. | 08:19 |
| uhriventis | Thats what I'm saying! | 08:19 |
| uhriventis | I can't change ATI | 08:19 |
| flaccid_ | its not the OS responsibility. changing the OS will not change the driver at all. | 08:19 |
| uhriventis | So I must result going back given my hardware! | 08:19 |
| flaccid_ | uhriventis: you are welcome to do whatever you would like | 08:20 |
| uhriventis | I'm just sad | 08:20 |
| uhriventis | That I have to | 08:20 |
| uhriventis | it's not what I like once again I want to stick with linux. It's I HAVE to | 08:20 |
| flaccid_ | been there, done that. | 08:20 |
| MilhousePunkRock | uhriventis: Unless it's a laptop, just get a 20 € NVidia card ;) | 08:20 |
| uhriventis | I can't get ATI to work simple as that | 08:20 |
| flaccid_ | haha | 08:20 |
| uhriventis | It's pc | 08:20 |
| flaccid_ | uhriventis: if you have a specific problem im happy to help. | 08:21 |
| uhriventis | Radeon 9250 runs slow | 08:21 |
| uhriventis | No 3d support | 08:21 |
| === flaccid is now known as flaccid- | ||
| === flaccid_ is now known as flaccid | ||
| MilhousePunkRock | fair enough, hop on ebay and get a used geforce 6200, passive cooling might even make your pc more silent | 08:21 |
| uhriventis | Look, flaccid everyone you got the wrong image. | 08:21 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: did you check support for the card? | 08:21 |
| uhriventis | I want to stick with Linux, I just don't know what to do | 08:21 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: if you shutup, i might do some research for you | 08:22 |
| uhriventis | Whatever | 08:22 |
| uhriventis | You're rude | 08:22 |
| flaccid | do you want it working or not? | 08:22 |
| Daisuke_Ido | HAH | 08:22 |
| uhriventis | I've been respectful to all of you | 08:22 |
| Daisuke_Ido | haha | 08:22 |
| Daisuke_Ido | oh, i think i just peed myself a little | 08:22 |
| * flaccid messages friend with 3d/accel going on 9250 | 08:22 | |
| uhriventis | See | 08:22 |
| flaccid | he says its going quite well | 08:22 |
| uhriventis | What do you mean? | 08:23 |
| flaccid | hes playing et atm | 08:23 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it's time to go to bed, i tend to forget the CoC this late. | 08:23 |
| uhriventis | 2:30 here | 08:24 |
| Daisuke_Ido | uhriventis: when you installed ubuntu, did you bother installing the restricted driver it asked you about? | 08:24 |
| uhriventis | I installed Kubuntu Live | 08:24 |
| uhriventis | And it never asked me that | 08:24 |
| Daisuke_Ido | wait... you're on the livecd? | 08:24 |
| flaccid | my friend is using the restricted driver | 08:24 |
| uhriventis | I'm not on the live CD I installed from it though | 08:25 |
| petgrill | hi i am new in kubuntu and i need some help | 08:25 |
| uhriventis | Flaccid does he use 9250? | 08:25 |
| flaccid | !ask | petgrill | 08:25 |
| ubottu | petgrill: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 08:25 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: yes | 08:25 |
| Daisuke_Ido | flaccid: i'm not sure where the restricted driver manager is in kde anymore | 08:25 |
| flaccid | depends on release | 08:25 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: what release are you on | 08:25 |
| uhriventis | I'm asking now | 08:25 |
| Daisuke_Ido | uhriventis: what's the output of uname -a | 08:26 |
| uhriventis | 8.04 | 08:26 |
| Daisuke_Ido | alrighty | 08:26 |
| uhriventis | I have no idea what uname -a is | 08:26 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: goto Hardware Drivers and let us know what it says | 08:26 |
| uhriventis | Alright | 08:26 |
| uhriventis | so system settings | 08:26 |
| flaccid | yeah | 08:26 |
| uhriventis | Moniter and display | 08:26 |
| uhriventis | ... Loading | 08:27 |
| flaccid | nope. are you on kde3 or kde4? | 08:27 |
| uhriventis | 3 | 08:27 |
| uhriventis | I just uninstalled 4 didn't like it | 08:27 |
| petgrill | i selected to instal gimp to my pc and something happend and i stopped instal and now i can't instal or uninstal gimp | 08:27 |
| uhriventis | Tell me where to go | 08:28 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: it should be under restricted drivers in system settings. | 08:28 |
| uhriventis | There is nothing that says restricted drivers | 08:28 |
| MilhousePunkRock | petgrill: apt-get on a shell or adept? | 08:28 |
| petgrill | adept | 08:28 |
| petgrill | i think | 08:29 |
| MilhousePunkRock | petgrill: Can you try "sudo apt-get install gimp" on a shell and paste the output to a pastebin? | 08:29 |
| MilhousePunkRock | !paste | petgrill | 08:29 |
| ubottu | petgrill: 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) | 08:29 |
| uhriventis | Any idea why Flaccid? | 08:29 |
| flaccid | yes | 08:30 |
| uhriventis | Where do I need to be? | 08:30 |
| flaccid | you'll have to excuse me, im on kde4 atm | 08:30 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Should it not be "Hardware Drivers"? | 08:30 |
| uhriventis | Okay | 08:30 |
| cirrus_ | Hello everyone | 08:30 |
| uhriventis | I understand | 08:30 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: try kdesudo /usr/bin/jockey-kde | 08:30 |
| cirrus_ | do you have a hint howto mount a SUSE-Encrypted home in Kubuntu?? | 08:30 |
| flaccid | let me know result | 08:30 |
| uhriventis | I type in kdeosudo or just sudo? | 08:30 |
| MilhousePunkRock | uhriventis: kdesudo | 08:31 |
| MilhousePunkRock | cirrus_: Does it differ from an encrypted kubuntu home? | 08:31 |
| petgrill | http://paste.ubuntu.com/11993/ | 08:31 |
| uhriventis | uhriventis@uhriventis-desktop:~$ kdesudo /usr/bin/jockey-kde | 08:31 |
| uhriventis | QImage::smoothScale: Image is a null image | 08:31 |
| uhriventis | That's what came up | 08:32 |
| uhriventis | By the way Flaccid thanks for helping even though the fight earlier | 08:32 |
| MilhousePunkRock | petgrill: Is adept still open? | 08:32 |
| petgrill | yes | 08:32 |
| cirrus_ | MilhousePunkRock: yes, it does | 08:32 |
| uhriventis | wait something just poped up | 08:32 |
| MilhousePunkRock | petgrill: You need to close it before trying apt-get on a shell | 08:32 |
| flaccid | all good | 08:32 |
| cirrus_ | when I try to mount it, there ist always an error saying my pwd must be at least 20 chars | 08:32 |
| uhriventis | Asked me to type my pass to see the hardware manager | 08:33 |
| uhriventis | But I did and nothing else came up | 08:33 |
| flaccid | did it take you there uhriventis? | 08:33 |
| uhriventis | No | 08:33 |
| uhriventis | Just went away | 08:33 |
| MilhousePunkRock | cirrus_: Not a bad idea... So your SUSE pw for the vault is shorter? | 08:33 |
| flaccid | let me open kde3 i so can't remember jockey is kde4. kde restricted is optional, one sec | 08:33 |
| petgrill | http://paste.ubuntu.com/11995/ | 08:33 |
| uhriventis | Alright | 08:33 |
| MilhousePunkRock | cirrus_: In that case, my guess would be to change the PW in SUSE and see if that helps already | 08:33 |
| cirrus_ | MilhousePunkRock: yes it is shorter | 08:34 |
| uhriventis | Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key | 08:34 |
| uhriventis | jockey-kde: cannot connect to X server :0.0 | 08:34 |
| uhriventis | That came up too | 08:34 |
| cirrus_ | hmm, but I have to use it on every boot - I don't want a longer one | 08:34 |
| MilhousePunkRock | petgrill: The archive is corrupted... Try removing it with "sudo rm /var/cvar/cache/apt/archives/gimp_2.4.5-1ubuntu2_i386.deb" and try againache/apt/archives/gimp_2.4.5-1ubuntu2_i386.deb | 08:35 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: need the kde4 libs i think as no restrictd-manager-kde in 8.04 | 08:35 |
| flaccid | one sec | 08:35 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: lets take the manual approach | 08:35 |
| flaccid | because you are on kde3 | 08:36 |
| petgrill | cannot remove :/ | 08:36 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: pastebin these following commands please so i can see | 08:36 |
| uhriventis | I wish I had KDE4 now. | 08:36 |
| MilhousePunkRock | flaccid: What about using Envy? | 08:36 |
| uhriventis | What's pastebin? | 08:36 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: not needed | 08:36 |
| flaccid | !pastebin | MilhousePunkRock | 08:36 |
| ubottu | MilhousePunkRock: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 08:36 |
| flaccid | i thought envy was nvidia and its bad anyway imo | 08:36 |
| flaccid | oops | 08:36 |
| MilhousePunkRock | flaccid: Thanks, I know what pastebin is ;) | 08:36 |
| flaccid | that was for you uhriventis | 08:36 |
| flaccid | MilhousePunkRock: my bad.. | 08:37 |
| uhriventis | Envy had ATI too | 08:37 |
| flaccid | no no envy! | 08:37 |
| MilhousePunkRock | flaccid: It's for ATI too, I think | 08:37 |
| flaccid | !envy | 08:37 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 08:37 |
| flaccid | thats why | 08:37 |

| uhriventis | I'm at that website where do I go | 08:39 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: you create a new paste, paste the output and then let us know the URL | 08:39 |

| MilhousePunkRock | flaccid: I do have it, but I used to have KDE4 installed before I upgraded to Hardy, maybe it's some kind of leftover that got upgraded | 08:45 |
| eth01 | hi | 08:45 |
| uhriventis | I think I like KDE3.5 better then 4 | 08:45 |
| flaccid | MilhousePunkRock: possible, was that gutsy? | 08:46 |
| Jucato | flaccid: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 08:46 |
| MilhousePunkRock | flaccid: Yes... I had a hard time uninstalling KDE4 too, I am pretty sure there is some stuff left... | 08:46 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: ok. sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx first please | 08:46 |
| flaccid | thanks jucy | 08:46 |
| uhriventis | Kubuntu comes with the fglrx ddrivers | 08:47 |

| uhriventis | Is hardy 8.04? | 08:48 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: ok Jucato has advised. do you have hardware drivers manager in kmenu -> system ? | 08:48 |
| flaccid | !hardy | 08:48 |
| 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 | 08:48 |
| uhriventis | I should just give you a screen shot of what I have in system huh? | 08:48 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: no need. is it there? | 08:49 |

| flaccid | uhriventis: no worries. install the package xorg-drivers-fglrx please | 08:49 |

| uhriventis | What do I type in | 09:43 |
| flaccid | kdesudo /etc/x11.xorg.conf | 09:43 |
| Jucato | you forgot "kate" | 09:44 |
| flaccid | omg yes i did | 09:44 |
| flaccid | my bad | 09:44 |
| uhriventis | so kdesudo kate blah blah balh? | 09:44 |
| o0Chris0o | weird, just had ccsm freeze up on me..can't close the window | 09:44 |
| flaccid | kdesudo kdate /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:44 |
| uhriventis | You have no idea how much I want to come in contact with yoru SFW | 09:44 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: guess how many times i have? | 09:44 |
| uhriventis | uhriventis@uhriventis-desktop:~$ kdesudo kdate /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:45 |
| uhriventis | No protocol specified | 09:45 |
| uhriventis | kdesudo: cannot connect to X server :0.0 | 09:45 |
| uhriventis | I don't know man | 09:45 |
| uhriventis | But I know I want to | 09:45 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: ffrom alt+f2 | 09:45 |
| uhriventis | Ohhh hOkay | 09:45 |
| flaccid | Jucato: weird how uhriventis can't do it from a console emulator | 09:45 |
| uhriventis | Clicked run and it dissapeard | 09:45 |
| uhriventis | Well, when I start my computer I have to use the startx command to get to desktop am I broken? | 09:46 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: goto konsole and do sudo passwd root and set a passord | 09:46 |
| job_ | uhriventis: maybe try export DISPLAY=:0 | 09:46 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: you have seemed broken from the start | 09:46 |
| flaccid | but you claim otherwise.. | 09:46 |
| uhriventis | It never used to do this | 09:47 |
| uhriventis | It started today | 09:47 |
| flaccid | ok | 09:47 |
| uhriventis | with the startx thing | 09:47 |
| flaccid | you never mentioned that until now. | 09:47 |
| uhriventis | After I uninstalled kde4 I think | 09:47 |
| flaccid | yet you complain a lot | 09:47 |
| flaccid | which could be your fault | 09:47 |
| uhriventis | I did in the heat of battle I suppose | 09:47 |
| flaccid | haha | 09:47 |
| flaccid | somehow thats linux' fault :) | 09:48 |
| uhriventis | I think we were to caught up in crap to see | 09:48 |
| uhriventis | Well | 09:48 |
| uhriventis | I uninstalled a program and it did this? | 09:48 |
| flaccid | what is a program | 09:48 |
| uhriventis | I don't know how that could be my fault | 09:48 |
| flaccid | kde4 is more than 1 program | 09:48 |
| uhriventis | KDE4 | 09:48 |
| uhriventis | Well | 09:48 |
| uhriventis | Desktop enviroment | 09:48 |
| uhriventis | I followed instructions given by google | 09:49 |
| flaccid | well if you don't know about, how would you know if it was your fault or not? | 09:49 |
| flaccid | google doesn't support kubuntu uhriventis | 09:49 |
| flaccid | so how did you go on the xorg.conf | 09:49 |
| uhriventis | Well, I didn't know that. But, I don't think It's my fault. I followed ubuntu directions which (so I'm told) is the same as kubuntu but with kde | 09:49 |
| uhriventis | Your commands is the first time I went on xorg | 09:50 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: please provide a URL for these 'directions' | 09:50 |
| Pennycook | uhriventis: Is it possible you uninstalled KDE4 and didn't install KDE3 or GNOME? If you can't get a Desktop, maybe you don't have one... | 09:50 |
| uhriventis | I uninstalled kubuntu with sudo apt-get remove kde5 | 09:50 |
| uhriventis | 4 | 09:50 |
| uhriventis | Okay | 09:50 |
| uhriventis | Let me find em | 09:50 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: the driver is installe, you just need to replace xorg.conf with what i pasted... | 09:50 |
| flaccid | !info kde4 | 09:50 |
| ubottu | kde4 (source: meta-kde4): the K Desktop Environment version 4 official modules. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.3 (hardy), package size 2 kB, installed size 36 kB | 09:50 |
| flaccid | thats not the whole of kde4 | 09:51 |
| uhriventis | When it unistalled it said 300 mb. About! Not exactly 300 mb. Like 360 or something | 09:51 |
| flaccid | if you can get your /etc/X11/xorg.conf replaced with http://paste.ubuntu.com/12006/ then a reboot then it should work. | 09:52 |
| uhriventis | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=666568&highlight=remove+kde4 | 09:52 |
| flaccid | 300mb about what. that can be about quite a few diff things | 09:52 |
| uhriventis | That is what I followed | 09:52 |
| uhriventis | How do I replace | 09:52 |
| uhriventis | KDE4 | 09:52 |
| flaccid | huh | 09:52 |
| uhriventis | Is what it said it would free | 09:52 |
| uhriventis | When I removed it | 09:52 |
| uhriventis | How do I replace my xorg | 09:52 |
| flaccid | that forum post is wrong. | 09:52 |
| uhriventis | Witht that | 09:53 |
| job_ | sudo dexconf should also work, and is easier | 09:53 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: kdesudo /etc/X11/xorg conf | 09:53 |
| uhriventis | Well, I'm a little ignorant on linux | 09:53 |
| job_ | to replace xorg.conf with original | 09:53 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: or sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:53 |
| uhriventis | uhriventis@uhriventis-desktop:~$ kdesudo /etc/x11.xorg.conf | 09:53 |
| uhriventis | No protocol specified | 09:53 |
| uhriventis | kdesudo: cannot connect to X server :0.0 | 09:53 |
| flaccid | job_: this is not from deb conf data! | 09:53 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: you broke your install it seems | 09:54 |
| job_ | ok sorry about that:) | 09:54 |
| flaccid | try pico | 09:54 |
| uhriventis | Waot | 09:54 |
| flaccid | [18:53] <flaccid> uhriventis: or sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:54 |
| uhriventis | With the pico I got i weird thing up | 09:54 |
| uhriventis | Let me paste it | 09:54 |
| uhriventis | Walk me through it | 09:54 |
| Pennycook | uhriventis: Forgive me if I'm being ignorant, but what were you running before you removed KDE4? Did you install KDE4, or was it installed on your Kubuntu by default? | 09:54 |
| flaccid | at this point uhriventis seeems like you broke it. but feel free to continue. | 09:55 |
| uhriventis | No I installed it | 09:55 |
| uhriventis | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/12010/ | 09:55 |
| uhriventis | Should I reinstall? | 09:55 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: thats correct. you just need to know how to use pico... | 09:56 |
| uhriventis | First time I've seen the command | 09:56 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: can you save the pastebin in your home folder and let me know the path to it? | 09:56 |
| === wirechief__ is now known as wirechief-sony | ||
| flaccid | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12006/ | 09:56 |
| uhriventis | Loading up my home folder | 09:56 |
| flaccid | save that to ~/something.txt or something | 09:56 |
| uhriventis | Errrrr dolphin keeps closing | 09:57 |
| uhriventis | Same with firefox | 09:57 |
| flaccid | sounds like a borked install to me which is what i suspected from beginning, but continue.. | 09:57 |
| uhriventis | How do I continue when nothing will open? | 09:57 |
| flaccid | [18:57] <flaccid> save that to ~/something.txt or something | 09:58 |
| uhriventis | I have the kubuntu 7.10 cd here shoudl I reinstall then log back on | 09:58 |
| flaccid | you run kate normally then you save it | 09:58 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: no | 09:58 |
| uhriventis | Okay opening kate now | 09:58 |
| uhriventis | Kate won't open | 09:58 |
| flaccid | better hurry because i need to buy another 6pack of beer :) | 09:59 |
| flaccid | why? | 09:59 |
| uhriventis | Gives me the loading sign then nothing happens | 09:59 |
| uhriventis | I don't know | 09:59 |
| flaccid | goto konsole | 09:59 |
| flaccid | and type kate | 09:59 |
| uhriventis | Thats what all my programs have been doi g | 09:59 |
| flaccid | what does it say | 09:59 |
| uhriventis | Get you a 6 pack foo | 09:59 |
| uhriventis | It's more important | 09:59 |
| flaccid | um | 09:59 |
| flaccid | you stuffed your install. | 09:59 |
| uhriventis | uhriventis@uhriventis-desktop:~$ kate | 09:59 |
| uhriventis | No protocol specified | 09:59 |
| uhriventis | kate: cannot connect to X server :0.0 | 09:59 |
| flaccid | probably no point me wasting time on it | 10:00 |
| uhriventis | So reinstall? | 10:00 |
| flaccid | wait! | 10:00 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: goto the menu and run kate from there! | 10:00 |
| flaccid | i ddidn't ask for cli | 10:00 |
| uhriventis | Nothing happens. I shows that it's loading then dissapears from the task bar | 10:00 |
| uhriventis | I under one sec | 10:01 |
| uhriventis | in | 10:01 |
| job_ | isn't X normally running on :0? so try export DISPLAY=:0 please | 10:01 |
| uhriventis | How do I do that job | 10:01 |
| job_ | just type export DISPLAY=:0 | 10:01 |
| uhriventis | uhriventis@uhriventis-desktop:~$ export DISPLAY=:0 | 10:02 |
| uhriventis | uhriventis@uhriventis-desktop:~$ | 10:02 |
| uhriventis | All I get | 10:02 |
| job_ | jep and run kate again | 10:02 |
| uhriventis | What do you mean? I'm new... What's the exact command | 10:02 |
| job_ | kate | 10:02 |
| uhriventis | So just type kate? | 10:02 |
| job_ | yep | 10:02 |
| flaccid | yep | 10:02 |
| uhriventis | uhriventis@uhriventis-desktop:~$ kate | 10:03 |
| uhriventis | No protocol specified | 10:03 |
| uhriventis | kate: cannot connect to X server :0 | 10:03 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: and when you run it from the kmenu, same thing? | 10:03 |
| flaccid | or nothing basically.. ? | 10:03 |
| uhriventis | Basically, it will act like it's starting and under a second it closes | 10:03 |
| uhriventis | Nothing | 10:03 |
| flaccid | reinstall. | 10:03 |
| flaccid | who knows what you did.. | 10:04 |
| uhriventis | All I did was | 10:04 |
| job_ | you are not logged in as root right? | 10:04 |
| uhriventis | sudo apt-get remove kde4 really | 10:04 |
| uhriventis | I'm logged as uhriventis so no | 10:04 |
| uhriventis | I can tell you any command that I did before this happened | 10:05 |
| uhriventis | ANd that is the major on | 10:05 |
| uhriventis | e | 10:05 |
| flaccid | thats not the right way to remove kde4 but anwyay | 10:05 |
| flaccid | you report problems with all your apps... | 10:05 |
| uhriventis | Well, I didn't know that | 10:05 |
| uhriventis | Pretty much | 10:05 |
| uhriventis | Games will load | 10:05 |
| flaccid | a forum is just a forum | 10:05 |
| flaccid | but we still don't actually know what broke it | 10:05 |
| uhriventis | I figured it would be right... Being ubuntu official forum... SOrry | 10:05 |
| flaccid | depending on which games they are use the UI differently | 10:06 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: official forum is just normal users, its just hosted officialy | 10:06 |
| uhriventis | Like all the chess games IBREAKOUT2 and super tux | 10:06 |
| flaccid | the advise is from any person | 10:06 |
| uhriventis | I didn't know | 10:06 |
| uhriventis | Their bad not mine. I'm just a newbie | 10:07 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: so when you goto alt+f2 and type kate, what happens,nothing? | 10:07 |
| uhriventis | I figured I got just info | 10:07 |
| flaccid | uhriventis: i agree. this is a free os for you.. | 10:07 |
| flaccid | well what a creditable source is, is a neverending debate in this world | 10:07 |
| uhriventis | I'd rather have this then xp | 10:07 |
| uhriventis | Now | 10:07 |
| uhriventis | About kate | 10:07 |
| uhriventis | I get an error I can't open | 10:08 |
| flaccid | well your system is not working, so i;d rather a c64 | 10:08 |
| uhriventis | I just see in my task bar X Sorry - KDestop | 10:08 |
| uhriventis | And it ends | 10:08 |
| flaccid | reinstall | 10:08 |
| job_ | could it be you are running the kde4 version of kate (don't think so as that should be named kate-kde4) | 10:08 |
| uhriventis | I will do that and be back | 10:08 |
| flaccid | or google and check !bugs but i doubt that will help you in the short term | 10:08 |
| uhriventis | It's not named that | 10:08 |
| job_ | what is the output of kate --version? | 10:08 |
| uhriventis | Let me reiinstall and I'll be back. it only takes like ten mins on m system | 10:09 |

| job_ | i checked kmilo already and it isn't the problem since my multimedia buttons are working, it's just the osd | 10:39 |
| flaccid | i never knew one existed for kmix | 10:40 |
| flaccid | never seen it but it would be nice | 10:40 |
| job_ | in gutsy it showed a bar when in/decreasing the volume and a speaker with a red line when muting | 10:41 |
| flaccid | ok | 10:41 |
| Jucato | the osd is done by kmilo | 10:41 |

| chalcedony | yes | 11:50 |
| chalcedony | was pretty sure | 11:50 |
| chalcedony | this used to be my son's computer | 11:50 |
| weaseal | What is the correct method for switching from kde3 to kde4 on kubuntu 8.04? | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | it could be cased by the fact you have 2 sound cards | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | id go into the bios and disable the onboard | 11:51 |
| chalcedony | yesterday it worked, today it does not | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | you may find the onboard works but the sb live will be better | 11:51 |
| chalcedony | surely | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | id disable the onboard sound in bios then see what you get | 11:52 |
| chalcedony | i don't know how to do it | 11:52 |
| chalcedony | "I am new to Ubuntu [currently using 7.10] .... i wanted to second what aled said. disabling the onboard sound in BIOS will affect windows but not Ubuntu. ..." | 11:53 |
| weaseal | Nobody knows the proper way to upgrade to kde4? | 11:54 |
| chalcedony | weaseal: not sure who is here that is actively helping | 11:55 |
| chalcedony | we can try google | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | weaseal: http://www.kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php | 11:55 |
| chalcedony | ActionParsnip: found what you said to do .. and agrees with you.. but does not say how | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | chalcedony: disabling it in bios will affect both as it is not enabled when yu pc turns on, regardless of OS | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | chalcedony: reboot your pc, when it says press <whatever key> to enter setup. hit it | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | BIOS are massively different so you'll have to snoop round til you see onboard sound or onboard ac'97 and disable it | 11:57 |
| weaseal | ActionParsnip, the link you sent is for running kde3 and kde4 simultaneously | 11:57 |
| weaseal | I only want kde4 | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | weaseal: be warned, not all kde apps are kde4 compliant yet so you wil have kde3.5 as well as kde4 | 11:57 |
| Pennycook | weaseal: If you only want KDE4, install from the KDE4 Remix CD | 11:57 |
| weaseal | So I have to download the CD to install it? | 11:58 |
| chalcedony | ActionParsnip: rebooting 1x every month or two i can stand | 11:58 |
| chalcedony | are there any fixes that don't involve rebooting? | 11:58 |
| Pennycook | No, you can do as ActionParsnip said and install KDE4 alongside KDE3 (then remove KDE3) I suppose, but I'm not sure how well removing KDE3 would go. | 11:59 |
| weaseal | Ok | 11:59 |
| norman_x | hi there. | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | weaseal: if you uninstall kde3 you will lose a lot of apps as they dont use kde4 yet | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | you will need to run both | 12:03 |

| Dr_willis | kdesu | 12:31 |
| Dr_willis | !sudo | 12:31 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 12:31 |
| Dr_willis | !kdesu | 12:31 |
| ubottu | In KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 12:31 |
| Dr_willis | or use 'sux' :) | 12:31 |
| Pici | sux? | 12:31 |
| Dr_willis | !info sux | 12:33 |
| ubottu | sux (source: sux): wrapper around su which will transfer your X credentials. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.1-3.2 (hardy), package size 8 kB, installed size 64 kB | 12:33 |

| ibnpaul | hi, I had a question about device creation for sd cards | 13:53 |
| ibnpaul | I have a pcmcia card reader | 13:53 |
| ibnpaul | does anyone have any experience with this? | 13:53 |
| ibnpaul | the card is recognized by the system, but no device is created for it | 13:53 |
| Dr_willis | ibnpaul, built into a laptop? Or is it removeable? | 13:53 |
| ibnpaul | it is removeable, it's a pcmcia reader | 13:54 |
| ibnpaul | i believe that the necessary modules are loaded for the reader | 13:54 |
| Dr_willis | I know that with some Internal Laptop card readers. Not all of them have linux support for all the cards. I ended up using a USB reader. No idea on pcmcia. I would guess you need to manually load some modules perhaps. | 13:54 |
| Dr_willis | If its supported at all. | 13:54 |
| ct529 | anyone who has experience of mounting novell netware disk / directories? I am completely stuck. | 13:55 |
| ibnpaul | dmesg does show that the system recognizes the card when it is inserted | 13:55 |
| ibnpaul | though | 13:55 |
| ibnpaul | so I think that the pcmcia reader is not the problem | 13:55 |
| ibnpaul | look: | 13:55 |
| Dr_willis | ibnpaul, but you put in a card - and dmesg dont say anything about the media eh? | 13:55 |
| ibnpaul | dmesg does say something | 13:55 |
| ibnpaul | let me show you: | 13:56 |
| ibnpaul | [ 1324.093601] pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0 | 13:56 |
| ibnpaul | [ 1324.094957] pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0 | 13:56 |

| ibnpaul | [ 1324.136225] ata6: PATA max PIO0 cmd 0x100 ctl 0x10e irq 19 | 13:56 |
| ibnpaul | that's where it ends. tho | 13:56 |
| ibnpaul | no device creation | 13:56 |
| Dr_willis | You have a SD card in the reader? or some other kind of card? | 13:56 |
| ibnpaul | mini sd in an adapter, so yes | 13:57 |
| ibnpaul | i tried an mmc card which did not work at all | 13:57 |
| ibnpaul | but the sd generates that output | 13:57 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm. normally sd cards would work. some of the other fancy cards dont from what ive seen. | 13:57 |
| ibnpaul | right | 13:57 |
| Dr_willis | I would have to suggest doing some googling for that exact pcmcia card and linux. It may be something trivial you need to do. | 13:58 |
| ibnpaul | yah | 13:58 |
| ibnpaul | i've been searching for days :) | 13:58 |
| ibnpaul | i didn't want to go USB as this sits flush with the laptop's side | 13:58 |
| ibnpaul | i have plently of USB sticks I can use | 13:59 |
| ibnpaul | :) | 13:59 |
| ibnpaul | any specific sites that you can suggest? | 13:59 |
| Dr_willis | Yep. I got a little box of usb-thumb drives and a $5 15 in one media reader. | 13:59 |
| ibnpaul | :) exactly | 13:59 |
| ibnpaul | I was just trying to be a bit mroe streamlined | 13:59 |
| Dr_willis | Not really. theres the ubuntu forums. But It may be its just not supported under any linux. | 13:59 |
| ibnpaul | well, I'm skeptical that it's the reader | 14:00 |
| ibnpaul | because the device is recognized by the system | 14:00 |
| Dr_willis | I got a Logitch Nano wireless mouse. with Uber-micro reader. | 14:00 |
| ibnpaul | interesting | 14:00 |
| Dr_willis | ibnpaul, so is my INTERNAL laptop card reader.. but it can only read SD cards..it cant read MMC or anything else. | 14:00 |
| ibnpaul | hmm | 14:00 |
| Dr_willis | so the current state of these card readers (othe then usb) is a bit of a gamble under linux | 14:00 |
| ibnpaul | maybe.. | 14:00 |
| ibnpaul | right | 14:00 |
| ibnpaul | well | 14:00 |
| Dr_willis | My internal reder can only be read by a few distros also. :( | 14:01 |
| ibnpaul | the closest thing that I found was that recompiling the kernel in some way can help | 14:01 |
| ibnpaul | right | 14:01 |
| ibnpaul | but I'm not sure if I feel that adventurous right now, this is my only working computer atm :P | 14:01 |
| ibnpaul | I'll keep searching in my free time, hopefully support for these devices will get more robust... | 14:02 |

| david_ | but i trying to install a lamp config but how do i give access to /var/www/html folder keeps comming up access denied | 14:41 |
| david_ | i install php it usually puts a folder into var/www/html does it not or does it work diff for unbuntu | 14:41 |
| david_ | can someone help me out please | 14:44 |
| hexidigital | david_: /var/www/ should be your web root. you have to 'sudo' to write to the directory. | 14:44 |
| david_ | i used sudo to install phpmyadmin but the folder not their its in my shared folder | 14:44 |
| david_ | surely it needs to be in wwww | 14:44 |
| hexidigital | for instance, 'sudo echo "<?php echo \"hello world\"; ?>" >> /var/www/index.php' | 14:45 |
| david_ | i used app-get install to install phpmyadmin but its put it into /usr/share | 14:46 |
| hexidigital | it won't be | 14:46 |
| hexidigital | phpmyadmin is a directory, as far as apache is concerned | 14:46 |
| david_ | yes but i goto localhost\phpmyadmin its not their | 14:46 |
| hexidigital | you mean localhost/phpmyadmin ? | 14:47 |
| david_ | it should install into /var/www/phpmyadmin should it not | 14:47 |
| david_ | yes sorry that the correct syntax i used | 14:47 |
| hexidigital | david_: no. apache uses mod_rewrite to link to it's actual location, iirc | 14:47 |
| hexidigital | s/link/direct | 14:47 |

| Daisuke_Ido | that should be adjusted, 1.4.9.1 is the latest | 16:00 |
| spiroo | I wondering how much they are going ot polish Amarok2. Still they havent solved the bug when you want to import a whole directory with music or partition. | 16:00 |

When I dropped down to console the fonts were very large (2 or 3 times what I'd normally see on Fedora or Debian). Is this common with Ubuntu + KDE? I've run KDE under Fedora before and it wasn't like that. | 16:28 |

| genii | mum: The iwl driver may work if you replace the current one which should be something like /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/ubuntu/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi/compatible/iwl3945.ko by sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-hardy-generic and then if you do modprobe -l| grep 3945 the new module path should be /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/updates/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi/compatible/iwl3945.ko | 16:31 |

| Adrian_dlcspm | I've been using Fedora at work. I used Debian for years at home. I'm quite partial to apt-get. Does apt-get have any particular advantages over yum? I can't put my finger on why I like apt-get more. | 16:36 |
| Xbehave | apt-get has supper cow powers | 16:37 |
| matsdb | me personally thinks searching in apt is faster than yum | 16:37 |
| Dr_willis | theres also that apt-file tool that can cache the database for faster searching. | 16:37 |
| Adrian_dlcspm | I don't think yum has a reinstall target, as does apt-get. I don't know how commonly its used (I do remember using it under Debian though). | 16:38 |
| ct529 | what the heck .... they updated the kernel and forgot to update the virtualbox-ose-modules, so the virtual machine(s) do not work anymore .... $%$%&&&!!!! .... :) | 16:38 |
| Dr_willis | under kde - check out the 'apt:///' (or was it apt:// or apt:\\ ) kioslave for apt searching | 16:38 |
| Adrian_dlcspm | Dr_willis - Oh, that's what I liked better. I can do an apt-get update, and later do an install. With yum, each install request seems to auto do an update. | 16:38 |
| Xbehave | ct529: stuff takes time just boot to the old kernel until they update | 16:38 |

| Adrian_dlcspm | Dr_willis - I also recall something called aptitude, for managing dependencies and software as one unit. As opposed to later uninstalling, and having all the dependencies left behind and unused. deborphan too. | 16:41 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Xbehave: sudo apt-get clean | 16:41 |
| ct529 | Xbehave: I do not think we should update the software when mission critical tools depend on it .... particularly on an LTS version .... it is just plain wrong | 16:41 |

| Xbehave | manually? | 16:41 |
| jhutchins | eyemon: apt-get install <software> | 16:41 |
| ct529 | eyemon: apt-get install "package" | 16:41 |
| BluesKaj | YUM and YAST are repositories programs that are burdened by poorly written search utilities to find the right dependencies, IMO | 16:41 |
| Daisuke_Ido | if it's a package file you've downloaded on your own, sudo dpkg -i <package filename> | 16:42 |

| Dr_willis | I noticed that the Freecol game and the openjdk had ugly fonts. | 17:11 |
| eyemon | how can i open a terminal like that | 17:12 |
| Pennycook | eyemon: Press Alt + F2, then type "konsole" | 17:12 |

| Dr_willis | so i installed the other javas :) | 17:12 |
| kreib | it said remotehost being added to cotrol list | 17:12 |

| Dr_willis | Pennycook, file some bugs! :) I cant keep up with java stuff.. I just use it to play Freecol. :) | 17:13 |
| Pennycook | eyemon: Use the "cd" command to change directory to wherever you've downloaded it. Like "cd /home/eyemon/downloads" or something | 17:13 |
| eyemon | then what?? | 17:13 |
| eyemon | i opened the console | 17:13 |
| stefanos_ | anyone? | 17:13 |
| kreib | rickest: you are right, it starts on local, very ncie | 17:13 |
| eyemon | ok | 17:14 |
| eyemon | next step?? | 17:14 |
| Pennycook | eyemon: Okay, type "tar -xvvzf install-flash..." or whatever the filename is. | 17:14 |

| Xbehave | Dr_willis: would falling back to an old kernel work | 17:18 |
| Pennycook | eyemon: Not the directory, you want tar -xvvzf install-flash" the /filename/ | 17:18 |
| BaudXP | Dr_willis: it complained about DBUS and refused to shutdown, so I did the magical SysRq combo instead of a hard reset - now it wont boot. Is my install fried? | 17:18 |
| Dr_willis | Xbehave, i THINK it should.. if it kept its old initrd. | 17:18 |
| Pici | eyemon: AircrackNG is in the Ubuntu repositories. | 17:19 |
| kreib | that works fine? | 17:19 |
| Dr_willis | BaudXP, sounds like hard drive curruption perhaps. | 17:19 |
| Xbehave | BaudXP: try booting to an old kernel | 17:19 |
| eyemon | so that means its not for kubuntu right | 17:19 |
| BaudXP | Xbehave: same with all kernels in the menu | 17:19 |
| Jucato | eyemon: Kubuntu and Ubuntu have the same repositories | 17:19 |
| eyemon | so | 17:19 |
| Pici | !info aircrack-ng | eyemon | 17:19 |
| ubottu | eyemon: aircrack-ng (source: aircrack-ng): wireless WEP/WPA cracking utilities. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.0~beta1-1 (hardy), package size 923 kB, installed size 1684 kB | 17:19 |
| kreib | rickest: what protocol or setup is best suited dyou think? | 17:20 |
| sparr | does anyone maintain debs of newer egoboo versions than the official packages? | 17:20 |
| Xbehave | BaudXP: if you want to fix it it shouldnt be too hard, but will require abit of work | 17:20 |
| eyemon | hey | 17:20 |
| Jucato | <eyemon> so that means its not for kubuntu right <--- which means you can install and use it on Kubuntu as well | 17:20 |
| CrashMaster_ | eyemon: You'll want to get the latest SVN of aircrack. The repo version is behind the curve | 17:20 |
| Pici | eyemon: The only difference between Ubuntu and Kubuntu are the packages installed by default. | 17:20 |
| eyemon | where can i get some softwares for kubuntu | 17:21 |
| eyemon | i want to install it manually | 17:21 |
| BaudXP | Xbehave: I've backed up everything important about a week ago - instead of trying to repair this install, I was hoping to perform a clean one of Hardy | 17:21 |
| eyemon | i'm just learning | 17:21 |
| Pici | !software | eyemon | 17:21 |
| ubottu | eyemon: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 17:21 |
| Dr_willis | eyemon, downloading various .deb files manually is NOT reccomended.. Use the package maanger tools | 17:21 |
| BaudXP | Xbehave: Is there any command I can use to copy one directory to another, but only copy changed or newer files? | 17:21 |
| Xbehave | CrashMaster_: since the PTW crack theres not really much difference unless your trying something clever, not worth the hastle of SVNs and compiling | 17:22 |
| Xbehave | BaudXP: cp, erm ill have a look at the man but by default i think cp will prompt for override | 17:22 |
| eyemon | where can i get some softwares for kubuntu | 17:22 |
| rickest | kreib: sorry, MM is not my area | 17:22 |
| Dr_willis | rsync i think can do that BaudXP some how... :) | 17:23 |
| Dr_willis | eyemon, fire up the packatge manager, or add/remove programs icon. and start clicking away | 17:23 |
| rickest | kreib: anything from sshfs, http, etc. google 'streaming video server' or something similar | 17:23 |
| dwidmann_laptop | eyemon: there are over 20,000 packages in the ubuntu repositories, that would be ag ood start | 17:23 |
| eyemon | hey i want to learn how to installing manually | 17:24 |
| eyemon | its more interesting | 17:24 |
| dwidmann_laptop | !compile | eyemon | 17:24 |
| ubottu | eyemon: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 17:24 |
| Walzmyn | eyemon apt-get is safer | 17:24 |
| Dr_willis | eyemon, define 'manually' - if you want to learn.. start by reading the apt-get guides | 17:24 |
| Dr_willis | !apt | eyemon | 17:24 |
| Xbehave | BaudXP: cp -urv [source] [dest] or cp -urvp to keep permisions on the files | 17:24 |
| ubottu | eyemon: 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) | 17:24 |
| Walzmyn | If you have logged in via a console, what is the proper way to start KDE? | 17:25 |
| Dr_willis | Walzmyn, 'startx' if its yoru default window manager | 17:25 |
| matsdb | even a reboot didnt help :\ | 17:25 |
| BaudXP | Xbehave: Thanks! | 17:26 |
| eyemon | hey | 17:26 |
| eyemon | you guys ROCK | 17:26 |
| eyemon | i'm going to check on the tutorials | 17:26 |
| dwidmann_laptop | Walzmyn: you could use "xinit -- :0 vt7" Then "startkde" in the bare x session it'll start. | 17:27 |
| Xbehave | matsdb: erm is this a clean kde install, was it the same version of ubuntu that sound working fine | 17:27 |
| eyemon | will catchya later | 17:27 |
| matsdb | just installed it | 17:27 |
| Walzmyn | Dr_willis, it should ahve been but when i used startx it opened XFCE and startkde returned an error | 17:27 |
| matsdb | kde 8.04 | 17:27 |
| matsdb | kubuntu 8.04 i mean | 17:27 |
| matsdb | sound worked perfectly on both fedora 8 and 9 | 17:27 |
| Xbehave | was it ubuntu 8.04 that had sound working or an older version | 17:27 |
| matsdb | opensuse, and ubuntu 8.04 | 17:27 |
| ibnpaul | anyone have experience with SD card readers (not usb)? | 17:28 |
| Xbehave | ahhh have you cheked sound at cli level? | 17:28 |
| ibnpaul | or usb as well I guess | 17:28 |
| ibnpaul | (I have both) | 17:28 |
| matsdb | maybe i've disabled sound somehow, not so familiar with kde | 17:28 |
| dwidmann_laptop | Walzmyn: look up at what I sad a few minutes ago, it is how to (properly) use the startkde script | 17:28 |
| Walzmyn | dwidmann_laptop, thanks, what does the " --:0 vt7 " do? | 17:29 |
| matsdb | maybe i should do an reinstall of kubuntu | 17:29 |
| Xbehave | matsdb: best way to find the problem is to start with cli tools, i just have to rember how to test sound at cli | 17:29 |
| Xbehave | if sound never worked on kubuntu its likely that a reinstall will leave sounds not working | 17:29 |
| matsdb | it worked before i installed some updates | 17:30 |
| matsdb | thats the strange thing | 17:30 |
| dwidmann_laptop | Walzmyn: "--" signifies an end to other switches related to the command, ":0" is the display number, if you already have an x session running you'll want to change it to :1, :2,:3 etc, vt7 is the vt number, ie: you hit ctrl + alt + f7 to get to it, you can use a number between 7 and 12, with maybe the exception of maybe #8, and 7 also if there's already an X running. | 17:31 |
| dwidmann_laptop | Walzmyn: 7 is the default, and I think something like maybe usplash or something hogs 8 ... I n ever have much luck in using 8 anyway | 17:31 |
| matsdb | tried speaker-test in konsole, no sound :\ | 17:31 |
| Xbehave | ahh well it might be driver problems, id recomend start checking alsa before reinstalling | 17:31 |
| Xbehave | make sure nothing is muted in alsamixer | 17:32 |
| matsdb | alsamixer is command line? | 17:32 |
| niteye | how can i convert kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 remix to regular kubuntu 8.04 (who has KDE3.5) | 17:32 |
| niteye | without much hassle | 17:32 |
| Xbehave | yeah well its similar to kmix but gaurantees your working straight with alsa | 17:33 |
| matsdb | nothings muted in alsa either | 17:33 |
| matsdb | strange thing | 17:33 |
| niteye | matsdb: i had something similar and i dont remember what i did to fix my sound | 17:33 |
| matsdb | hmm, ok, tell me if you rememeber :) | 17:34 |
| niteye | i put everything up in alsamixer, then did the same in kmix, and then i found yet another sound applet somewhere in the installed applications | 17:34 |
| matsdb | allright ;) | 17:34 |
| Xbehave | try checking aplay --vv somefile.wav if you have a wev use that otherwise a large text file will make it sound horrible | 17:34 |
| matsdb | i'll try that | 17:34 |
| matsdb | thanks | 17:35 |
| ibnpaul | @matsdb: have you checked to make sure the proper modules are loaded? | 17:35 |
| dwidmann_laptop | Walzmyn: come to think of it, you may need to specify which command to use because it defaults to xterm for the terminal emulator it will start .... so "xinit /usr/bin/konsole -- :0 vt7" | 17:35 |
| matsdb | ibnpaul, where do i check that? | 17:35 |
| niteye | without much hassle | 17:35 |
| ibnpaul | do this command: lsmod | grep ^snd | 17:35 |
| dwidmann_laptop | Walzmyn: oh, forgot to mention why I mentioned that ... xterm is probably not installed, so it would have a little trouble running it. | 17:35 |
| hannes_ | hey. is there any way to turn my fan on manually cause I think it's not working. | 17:35 |
| ibnpaul | what do you see? | 17:36 |
| hannes_ | $ acpi -t | 17:36 |
| hannes_ | Battery 1: charged, 100% | 17:36 |
| hannes_ | Thermal 1: active[0], 81.0 degrees C | 17:36 |
| matsdb | loads of stuff | 17:36 |
| ibnpaul | :) | 17:36 |
| niteye | i have kubuntu KDE4 remix, who else has it? | 17:36 |
| matsdb | is kde4 remix stable? | 17:36 |
| niteye | not at all | 17:37 |
| Xbehave | hannes normally fan is done by hardware | 17:37 |
| matsdb | lol, ok.. :\ | 17:37 |
| azzco | Does anyone know if there's some sort of wiki you can install for personal use? (Would be great rewritting some notes and link them together and stuff like that) | 17:37 |
| niteye | i want the regular kubuntu, but i dont know how to do so without installing it all over again | 17:37 |
| hannes_ | it worked fine with the previous kubuntu version | 17:37 |
| hannes_ | and it works under XP | 17:37 |
| Xbehave | azzco yes there are a few | 17:37 |
| matsdb | ah, well.. i'll reinstall again, and check the sound before doing any upgrades | 17:37 |
| matsdb | bbl ;) | 17:37 |
| azzco | niteye: got kde4 now? Try the package kubuntu-desktop | 17:37 |
| niteye | okay | 17:38 |
| Xbehave | unfortunatly ive never been that interested in them but check the repos or forums for a recomendation | 17:38 |
| azzco | Xbehave: No Problem it's no rush, just thought it'd be a great way to sort my notes | 17:39 |
| Pennycook | azzco: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki | 17:39 |
| Xbehave | yeah i heard a few good reviews popup over, i find knotes is enough for my needs | 17:39 |
| dwidmann_laptop | Walzmyn: hope that wasn't too much information ....... I like to be thorough :) | 17:39 |
| Xbehave | Pennycook: isnt mediawiki complete overkill | 17:40 |
| Pennycook | If you install that, you'll be able to run a Wiki on apache. | 17:40 |
| Pennycook | Xbehave: He asked for a Wiki, that's a Wiki. | 17:40 |
| Pennycook | As for recommendations for alternatives, BasKet is KNotes on acid, and is what I use. http://basket.kde.org/ | 17:40 |
| azzco | hehe true true =p | 17:40 |
| Xbehave | yeah hes talking about using it locally for writing notes, installing azureus and media wiki is complet overkill, neither are particularly light | 17:41 |
| azzco | knotes is a bit to leight for me.. lots of physic drawings and I really need to add those formulas and pictures | 17:41 |
| niteye | in windows when u log in with RDP it automatically locks the local session if it's not locked yet and displays everything that was on the session remotely, can u have something similar on linux? (so far with VNC the screen stays unlocked locally) | 17:42 |
| Jucato | azzco: basket? | 17:42 |
| Pennycook | azzco: Check out Basket. At the moment you'll have to draw the diagrams elsewhere and paste them in, but they're going to put a simple form of paint in the next release. You can also screengrab directly, for formulae in LaTeX etc. | 17:42 |
| azzco | Jucato, Pennycook, Yeah I was browsing the screenshots and it seems very promising, great thanks for the tip! | 17:43 |
| Xbehave | Pennycook: is it in repos or does it need compiling, because im tempted to go for that too | 17:43 |
| Pennycook | Xbehave: Repos. | 17:43 |
| Pennycook | You can even import your KNotes. :) | 17:43 |
| azzco | basket is in the repos | 17:43 |
| jonah | hey guys does anyone use kde4, no one in the kde4 rooms seems to be answering? | 17:43 |
| dwidmann_laptop | basket is nice, overkill, but nice :) | 17:43 |
| Jucato | !patience | jonah | 17:44 |
| ubottu | jonah: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 17:44 |
| Jucato | dwidmann_laptop: yeah... overkill.... | 17:44 |
| * dwidmann_laptop heads over to the kde4 room to take a look | 17:44 | |
| azzco | jonah: yeah I know the feeling I was waiting for some help an hour or so yesterday... gave up and reloged to kde3 | 17:45 |

| Xbehave | thx Pennycook. basket seams great i wonderd about a nice note taking app that was more advnaced than knotes :D | 17:51 |
| guilhermeblanco | jonah: I'm waiting for a hint how to fx my knotify for 3 days without success | 17:51 |
| niteye | does anyone here have experience with openvpn? | 17:51 |
| guilhermeblanco | today I gave up and reinstalled kubuntu... still configuring the os | 17:51 |
| Jucato | STSX: Settings -> Save View Profile | 17:52 |
| CrashMaster_ | ok | 17:54 |
| CrashMaster_ | here we go | 17:54 |
| CrashMaster_ | procedure question | 17:55 |
| STSX | Jucato: Thanks, that works great--I was confused because I chose "Configure View Profiles" and it would only let me "save", not configure the profile. What's the deal with that? | 17:55 |
| clemons | niteye I use the command line "vpnc" | 17:55 |
| Jucato | STSX: um.. dunno really :) | 17:57 |
| BluesKaj | STSX, actually setup konq then "load View profile" , once you have it loaded then save view profile , if you're happy with it. | 17:59 |

| eigenvalue | Hi: I have a problem with GRUB: I want it to dual-boot kubuntu / WinXP, but it won't work. I installed Win on a new HD on its first Partition (sda1) while having a running kubuntu system on sdb. I made an entry ("title winxp, root hd(1,0), makeactive, chainloader +1") in /boot/grub/menu.lst , but that daoesn't seems to be enough.. | 18:02 |
| eigenvalue | can someone help me? | 18:02 |
| === kewark is now known as krawek | ||
| CrashMaster_ | eigenvalue: is it throwing any errors at you? | 18:06 |
| TFrog | eigenvalue if you're Windows XP partition is the first partition it should read hd(0,0) | 18:07 |
| TFrog | plus you have to have the windows partition in fstab | 18:07 |
| BaudXP | ugh.. I'm trying to (re)install Hardy, but after booting from the CD and selecting an option, I just get a blinking cursor in the top left of the screen | 18:07 |
| BaudXP | any ideas? | 18:07 |
| CrashMaster_ | verified the media? | 18:08 |
| genii | eigenvalue: If windows is on the primary master then hd(0,0) is the right value | 18:08 |
| eigenvalue | CrashMaster_: no. it just resets, and the BIOS starts again. TFrog: hd(0,1) works for /boot/, which is the second partition of sdb (the HD without WinXP), so sda1 should be hd(1,0), or am I wrong? | 18:09 |
| BaudXP | CrashMaster_: It wants to boot to do that, wont boot :p | 18:09 |
| STSX | In my menu.lst file the syntax is (hd0,0) not hd(0,0)--is this an issue for eigenvalue too? | 18:09 |
| eigenvalue | TFrog: why do i need it in fstab? | 18:09 |
| TFrog | eigenvalue, if there is no value in fstab it's likely you won't boot XP at all even with the entry in grub | 18:10 |
| eigenvalue | STSX: no, i just mistyped that one | 18:10 |
| CrashMaster_ | BaudXP: Still have the original ISO? | 18:10 |
| BaudXP | CrashMaster_: yes | 18:10 |
| CrashMaster_ | burn another disc. | 18:10 |
| * BaudXP cries | 18:11 | |
| STSX | TFrog: I don't believe that's true--he doesn't need an entry in fstab to boot to XP. fstab only controls what is mounted when he boots into Kubuntu. | 18:11 |
| CrashMaster_ | *strikes | 18:11 |
| BaudXP | trying, back later | 18:11 |
| TFrog | STSX, i'm not certain of that. just offering info. of course if he wants to read the XP partition from linux he'll need the entry in fstab | 18:11 |
| CrashMaster_ | You dont need the entry in fstab unless you want to mount the partition at linux start... | 18:12 |
| STSX | TFrog: Agreed, but booting into XP has nothing to do with fstab. :) | 18:12 |
| eigenvalue | TFrog: I think STSX is right, grub uses its own filesystem. but i think i'm gonna try it. I need access to that partition anyway. | 18:12 |
| TFrog | well, i'm not having but one issue with hardy at the moment. it involves compiz and the folks over at the compiz fusion room don't have any clues | 18:13 |
| deever | hello | 18:13 |
| eagles0513875 | that has to do with grub btw | 18:13 |
| Coder2 | Hello | 18:13 |
| eigenvalue | TFrog: but GRUB doesn't start the kernel, when booting XP.. (and the fstab is only useful for the linux system) | 18:13 |
| eagles0513875 | STSX: btw to ur earlier comment he doesnt need fstab entry to boot xp | 18:13 |
| TFrog | true eigenvalue | 18:14 |
| deever | anyone here with 8.04-kde4 running in vbox? | 18:14 |
| eagles0513875 | STSX: fstab allows one to have access to the partition from linux grub deals wiht boot loading | 18:14 |
| eagles0513875 | deever: i am | 18:14 |
| TFrog | anyone a compiz wizard around here? | 18:14 |
| eigenvalue | TFrog: whats your compiz-problem? | 18:14 |
| STSX | eagles0513875: Absolutely, that's what I was pointing out to TFrog. :) | 18:14 |
| Coder2 | Could anyone help with MythTV? | 18:14 |
| azzco | TFrog: tried #compiz-fusion ? | 18:14 |
| TFrog | eigenvalue, i can't get the cube to work properly | 18:15 |
| eagles0513875 | STSX: ok sry im way out of it need to head out for a nap | 18:15 |
| deever | eagles0513875: have you got the screen resolution set to more than 800x600? | 18:15 |
| TFrog | azzco, i've been to that room and they don't have a clue | 18:15 |
| eagles0513875 | deever: on vbox | 18:15 |
| deever | eagles0513875: yes | 18:15 |
| eagles0513875 | deever: never really bothered to try | 18:15 |
| TFrog | and i've already talked to the head developer for ubuntu about it | 18:15 |
| azzco | TFrog: Did you check general options, make sure it's 4 or something. rotate cube, cube desktop activated? | 18:15 |
| eagles0513875 | TFrog: u gotta be patient there seem to be aot of bugs out with hardy right now | 18:15 |
| deever | eagles0513875: so you are working with 800x600? | 18:16 |
| Coder2 | Does anybody use MythTV ? | 18:16 |
| TFrog | yeah azzco. problem is it gives me the wall even though it's not selected in ccsm. however if i click with the center button on my mouse the cube comes up but won't stay on the screen. | 18:16 |
| TFrog | eagles0513875, i'm realizing that already | 18:17 |
| TFrog | glad it's a LTS version | 18:17 |
| eigenvalue | TFrog: Sorry that was the only thing i had no problems with.. don't have a clue how it works | 18:17 |
| eagles0513875 | TFrog: i am having some issues but they rnt life threathening that i cant deal with em | 18:17 |
| TFrog | nor are mine at the moment | 18:17 |
| azzco | TFrog: That sounds really weird... try recording/take pictures of that and post in the forums | 18:18 |
| deever | anyone here with 8.04-kde4 on virtualbox and a screen resolution >800x600 ? | 18:18 |
| eagles0513875 | deever: i dunno im using what ever the default res is when you install teh guest | 18:18 |
| TFrog | i just re-installed hardy. it seems that you have to have the kde-destop loaded as a dependency. before i cut it out as i don't need many of it's dependencies and had even worse troubles | 18:18 |
| TFrog | azzco, that would be very difficult with the symptoms i'm having with it. i think what is going on is how ccsm is writting to the config file | 18:19 |
| TFrog | or something of that nature | 18:19 |
| TFrog | funny thing is all the other effects seem to work | 18:20 |
| azzco | TFrog: have you tried with a default config file? (Erasing the existing once or just renaming for the moment) | 18:20 |
| obelich | hola | 18:20 |
| TFrog | if i knew where that file was i'd try it for sure | 18:20 |
| waite | Anyone know how to get zeroconf:/ ioslave working on Kubuntu 8.04 remix (Kde4) | 18:20 |
| deever | eagles0513875: lol, ok! ;) | 18:20 |
| azzco | TFrog: Maybe we should move to #compiz-fusion | 18:21 |
| eagles0513875 | deever: sry could be much more help | 18:21 |
| waite | I have kdnssd pakagea and avahi running. | 18:21 |
| TFrog | meet you there | 18:21 |
| eagles0513875 | *srry | 18:21 |
| deever | eagles0513875: np! ;) | 18:21 |
| waite | And I can see ssh services via avahi-discover so I know some are out there, | 18:21 |
| CrashMaster_ | ok. Computer turns on, POSTS, scans the MBR, finds grub, and then grub loads linux, yes? | 18:24 |
| dwidmann_laptop | CrashMaster_: sure, something like that | 18:25 |
| CrashMaster_ | Well, is the "somethign like that" that Im interested in,. | 18:25 |
| CrashMaster_ | Does grub just straight out load the kernel? Or is there a step in between? | 18:26 |
| matsdb | finally i got sound :) | 18:28 |
| dwidmann_laptop | CrashMaster_: from the source of all things true and false: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_GRUB | 18:28 |
| genii | CrashMaster_: Grub loads it's own menu, then starts loading a kernel and the kernel's initial ramdisk. After ramdisk is loaded it goes on to load other drivers and mount drives, etc | 18:30 |
| genii | (the kernel does) | 18:30 |
| CrashMaster_ | so it goes straight from grub to the kernel? | 18:30 |
| genii | Yup | 18:30 |
| CrashMaster_ | hm | 18:30 |
| CrashMaster_ | ok then, new line of inquiry. | 18:31 |
| azzco | I never understood the whole splashscreen thingy though.. | 18:31 |
| CrashMaster_ | What in the kernel determines the boot screen? | 18:31 |
| CrashMaster_ | For instance. | 18:31 |
| CrashMaster_ | XP has that stupid little bar going side to side | 18:31 |
| CrashMaster_ | and linux has a buttload of text that flys by | 18:31 |
| CrashMaster_ | sometimes the text it pretty and neat, sometimes its a jumbled mess of stuff. | 18:31 |
| CrashMaster_ | What is it that deterimines how that stuff is displayed (pre-KDE im pretty sure) | 18:32 |
| azzco | CrashMaster_: I think that's usplash.. google it | 18:33 |
| Pici | !usplash | CrashMaster_ | 18:33 |
| ubottu | CrashMaster_: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 18:33 |
| SlimeyPete | no, if you want neat text you need to make the kernel use the framebuffer | 18:33 |
| SlimeyPete | which is done with a kernel option iirc | 18:33 |
| SlimeyPete | if you want graphics, you need usplash. | 18:33 |
| dwidmann_laptop | SlimeyPete: definte "neat text" | 18:34 |
| CrashMaster_ | !usplash | 18:35 |
| ubottu | To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 18:35 |
| SlimeyPete | dwidmann_laptop: small, crisp font. | 18:35 |
| SlimeyPete | as opposied to the 80-line display | 18:35 |
| SlimeyPete | erm, 80-column | 18:35 |
| genii | CrashMaster_: Normally resolution will default to something safe and sane during this part of boot, like 640x480 or such. But it can be overridden by kernel swithc line of vga=xxx where xxx is some value specifying default console type resolution to use | 18:35 |
| CrashMaster_ | ok Its REALLY hard to cut/paste when you people keep giving me anwers!! :) | 18:35 |
| genii | hehe | 18:35 |
| CrashMaster_ | got it! | 18:36 |

| timboy | eyemon, just ask and if someone can answere they will | 19:00 |

| Pici | eyemon: We can't if we dont know the question | 19:00 |
| timboy | eyemon, you are you aren't in the ubuntu channel | 19:00 |
| jhutchins_wk | eyemon: Dude, we don't know what's wrong, so just tell us, forget the melodramatics. | 19:00 |
| eyemon | but its no where to be seen | 19:00 |
| Kite_DH | Would somebody help ME? i already asked the question but somehow everybody seems to ignore me | 19:00 |
| dwidmann_laptop | but I liike drama ... darn :( ..................... just kidding | 19:01 |
| timboy | eyemon, wow that warrants a cry for help... | 19:01 |
| Pici | eyemon: aircrack is a cli program I believe. | 19:01 |
| jhutchins_wk | Kite_DH: What sort of a headset is it? WIred? Bluetooth? | 19:01 |
| Kite_DH | USB, from logitech | 19:01 |
| eyemon | what shud i do?? | 19:01 |
| Kite_DH | Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:0a01 Logitech, Inc. | 19:01 |
| Pici | eyemon: run it from a terminal | 19:01 |
| mum | Hi genii | 19:01 |
| eyemon | how?? | 19:01 |
| jhutchins_wk | eyemon: start with the documentation. | 19:02 |
| Pici | eyemon: type aircrack perhaps | 19:02 |
| dwidmann_laptop | !konsole | 19:02 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 19:02 |
| jhutchins_wk | Kite_DH: Find anything about it on the web? | 19:02 |
| mum | genii: I've tryed all things... The only way for let the device works is with ipw3945... So I reverted to 2.6.22 kernel... It's only way... :.-( | 19:02 |
| Kite_DH | jhutchins_wk: i wouldnt know where to start | 19:02 |
| jhutchins_wk | Kite_DH: gg: logitech usb headset (model) linux | 19:03 |
| timboy | eyemon, if you've never used the konsole maybe you should start with a linux 101 tutorial... | 19:03 |
| jhutchins_wk | Kite_DH: Have you tried restarting the system with the headset connected? | 19:04 |
| genii | mum: I am sad to hear. Hopefully soon there will be some solution | 19:04 |
| Kite_DH | jhutchins_wk: yes. i can choose it as option in skype, but not in the sound-system configuration itelf | 19:04 |
| Kite_DH | itself* | 19:04 |
| mum | genii: I hope so! Thanks a lot for Your help! | 19:04 |
| timboy | Kite_DH, have you checked alsamixer? | 19:04 |
| eyemon | when i type aircrack-ng in the terminal nothing happens | 19:05 |
| jhutchins_wk | Kite_DH: It will be a sound device, not an output option. It's the whole sound hardware system. | 19:05 |
| timboy | eyemon, read the aircrack manual then come back | 19:05 |
| mum | See Yaa! :) | 19:05 |
| jhutchins_wk | Kite_DH: Multiple audio devices are a frequent question here, but I don't know that we've developed a consistent proces for solving them. | 19:05 |
| Kite_DH | timboy: the option in skype i called "Logitech USB Headset (hw:Headset,0)" | 19:05 |
| timboy | hmm not too great at troubleshooting usb. sry | 19:06 |
| Kite_DH | well it works with skype, why doesnt that option exist in the sound-preferences too =( | 19:06 |
| zonycs | is the moment to say... mini-plug rulzzzzzzzzz (???) | 19:07 |

| Antareja_ | please | 19:20 |
| Pici | Ask a question | 19:20 |
| Antareja_ | ok | 19:20 |
| Antareja_ | I'v install my kubuntu after a XP os | 19:21 |
| Antareja_ | so i already have an XP and i instal kubuntu from XP | 19:21 |
| Antareja_ | and I have dedicated a space of 6 GB for the kubuntu | 19:21 |
| Antareja_ | Can I change the size of the virtual diskdrive for kubuntu? | 19:21 |
| Antareja_ | I'd like to make it to 10 GB, is it possible? | 19:22 |
| Xbehave_ | Antareja_: that depends on wubi but i think so but you have to do it from windows | 19:23 |
| o0Chris0o | I'm thinking about installing kde4 but would it conflict with kde3? | 19:23 |
| mueslix | no | 19:23 |
| Antareja_ | so I have to configure it from windows? | 19:23 |
| mueslix | you can install it parallely | 19:23 |
| azzco | Here comes the wubi questions *lol* | 19:24 |
| matsdb | any way to get firefox 3 beta 5 to intergrate better with KDE? | 19:24 |
| Xbehave_ | yeah in windows you run wubi and resize it i think | 19:24 |
| Antareja_ | well I didn't istall it paralelly, but on a virtual drive... boot.disk | 19:24 |
| matsdb | right now it looks like shit | 19:24 |
| Xbehave_ | matsdb in what way? | 19:24 |
| matsdb | icons etc | 19:24 |
| Xbehave_ | you can download a kde theme | 19:25 |
| Antareja_ | so I should use wubi from windows? | 19:25 |
| matsdb | tried to, but wasnt compatible with the beta-version | 19:25 |
| matsdb | guess i have to wait :p | 19:25 |
| Xbehave_ | matsdb: alot of themse work anyway | 19:25 |
| Antareja_ | ok...so I will try | 19:26 |
| Antareja_ | thanks a lot | 19:26 |
| Antareja_ | bye | 19:26 |
| Xbehave_ | np gl | 19:26 |
| Antareja_ | thanks | 19:26 |
| matsdb | hmm, ok.. i'll try, thanks Xbehave_ | 19:26 |
| Xbehave_ | matsdb: extensions.checkCompatibility;false in about:config will let you install what you want, and you can get around the mozilla website stoping you by clicking install old version then selecting the newest | 19:27 |

| waite | sorry zeroconf | 19:37 |
| p_quarles | matsdb, there is, but it's not configured -- something in particular you're trying to block? | 19:38 |
| matsdb | no, nothing in particular, just for general security | 19:39 |
| shane__ | ok now its all working and i never touched it its been dead for 4 hrs | 19:39 |
| matsdb | maybe theres no need for it, but i've always used fedoras firewall just in case | 19:39 |
| p_quarles | matsdb, there's no need unless you're running services | 19:39 |
| p_quarles | there are no services listening to external ports in the defualt K/Ubuntu installation | 19:40 |

| shane__ | and in gedit how do i edit with permisions this is ubuntu and im ussing ndiswrapper | 19:43 |
| Xbehave_ | id recomend just starting knetworkmanager on logon, that seams to sort out most of my wireless troubles | 19:43 |
| Xbehave_ | you need to run it with !sudo | 19:44 |
| shane__ | i tryed that last night i added knet and got rid of kwifi | 19:44 |

| greyfox | Hello | 21:38 |
| greyfox | does anyone know how to set a proxy on only one connection ? for example I have eth0 & eth1, I want to use a proxy only on eth1 | 21:38 |
| marcus_ | no idea | 21:39 |
| Aranel | After Hardy upgrade, my KControl tree is empty :/ How can I fix it ? | 21:39 |
| o0Chris0o | jhutchins not for kopete | 21:42 |
| dwidmann | Aranel: try running "sudo apt-get -f install" to make sure the install finished | 21:42 |
| clau30 | hi. how do I restart the sound server? | 21:42 |
| Aranel | dwidmann: ok, i'm updating my programs now, i'll try that after it :) | 21:43 |
| dwidmann | Aranel: if it's letting you do that, then it must have finished the install okay, I think. | 21:43 |
| o0Chris0o | claus30: Kmenu >> System Settings >> Sound | 21:44 |
| o0Chris0o | under "enable the sound system" | 21:44 |
| o0Chris0o | thats how I turn it off and on | 21:44 |
| clau30 | o0Chris0o: doesn't work | 21:45 |
| o0Chris0o | what doesn't work? | 21:45 |
| o0Chris0o | be more specific | 21:45 |
| clau30 | I suddenly have no sound | 21:45 |
| o0Chris0o | is that enabled? | 21:45 |
| clau30 | I know X restart would resolve it but maybe there is a command to do it :) | 21:45 |
| clau30 | oo | 21:45 |
| clau30 | o0Chris0o: well it worked a few minutes ago | 21:45 |
| o0Chris0o | why do you ahve to restart it? did you install something? | 21:46 |
| o0Chris0o | or is this a clean install | 21:46 |
| clau30 | no, think it's because of amarok, happened before | 21:46 |
| o0Chris0o | hmm | 21:46 |
| clau30 | it's an old install | 21:46 |
| clau30 | alsa-utils restart also doesn't do the trick | 21:46 |
| o0Chris0o | ok | 21:46 |
| o0Chris0o | go to kmenu >> System >> Sound system then make sure your sound system is selected, instead of auto detect | 21:47 |
| o0Chris0o | try that and see it it works | 21:47 |
| clau30 | nope | 21:48 |
| o0Chris0o | !sound | 21:48 |
| 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 | 21:48 |
| clau30 | great :) | 21:49 |
| o0Chris0o | clau30 try entering "alsamixer" in terminal | 21:49 |
| o0Chris0o | and make sure volumes are up | 21:50 |
| ubuntu | :) | 21:50 |
| clau30 | o0Chris0o: it's not that | 21:50 |
| clau30 | come on :P | 21:50 |
| clau30 | it's a backend kde uses I guess | 21:51 |
| o0Chris0o | I'm not sure, what else to tell you. I'm sure if you stick around, someone could help you with your problem | 21:52 |
| dwidmann_laptop | clau30: artsd | 21:52 |
| clau30 | yea artsd seems to get restarted but still doesn't work | 21:52 |
| clau30 | interesting is that, like I said, if I restart X, it's working agian | 21:53 |
| clau30 | what else could I restart in etc/init.d? :) | 21:53 |
| clau30 | ah, I'll just restart x | 21:54 |
| clau30 | thanks anyway | 21:54 |
| o0Chris0o | clau30 try looking at your system logs and see it it outputs anything | 21:55 |
| o0Chris0o | oo too late | 21:55 |
| peer_ | I'm getting a whole bunch of updates for KDE right now, what is this? | 21:56 |
| o0Chris0o | updates | 21:56 |
| o0Chris0o | :) | 21:56 |
| o0Chris0o | kde3 or 4 | 21:56 |
| peer_ | well ... I'm wondering why. I expected the SSL updates, but not a complete new computer :-) | 21:57 |
| o0Chris0o | heh I got 2 new updates | 21:57 |
| peer_ | And I don't even know which KDE (3 or 4) I'm running. How can I tell? When I upgraded to Hardy, there was no question asked. | 21:58 |
| o0Chris0o | and it is ssl updates | 21:58 |
| o0Chris0o | lol | 21:58 |
| secleinteer | hi, does anyone know why i have to edit xorg.conf to fix the dpi after installing the nvidia driver? that seems like a really basic issue that should have been fixed... | 21:59 |
| Pennycook_ | peer_: You'll be running KDE3 if you upgraded from Gutsy. 4 looks considerably different. | 21:59 |
| secleinteer | yes, it looks considerably bad right now | 22:00 |
| peer_ | So then, I'd like to know how I could get KDE 4 -- and if I should do that. What are the considerations to take into account? | 22:01 |
| dave11 | kde 4=yuk | 22:01 |
| psyco | Hey, does anyone have any suggestions regarding stop motion programs?? | 22:01 |
| secleinteer | peer_: don't use kde4 right now, it looks nothing like kde3 and has none of the customizability | 22:02 |
| Pennycook_ | peer_: You should be able to install KDE4 by running sudo apt-get install kde4-core. | 22:02 |
| Pennycook_ | And don't listen to them, I've been running KDE4 since release and I think it's much nicer. | 22:02 |
| peer_ | ok ... I guess we will all be pushed at KDE4 at some time anyway, but later when it's readyer ;-), right? | 22:03 |
| dave11 | peer_: the program menu is a nightmare with scrolling back and forth to start programs | 22:03 |
| psyco | I personally think kde4 sucks. But most people think 4.1 will be awesome, | 22:03 |
| psyco | I hope it will be. | 22:03 |
| Pennycook_ | Well, I think 4.1 is released in July(ish) and I'm sure it'll be tehe default. | 22:03 |
| Pennycook_ | dave11: If you don't like Kicker, you can set it to use the default KMenu. | 22:03 |
| psyco | Yeah. 4.1 should pwn. I actually love the menu | 22:03 |
| psyco | just a quick search :D | 22:03 |
| dave11 | Pennycook_: didnt know that..thanks | 22:04 |
| Pennycook_ | Right /now/ it's less customisable than KDE3, sure, but the whole widgets thing (yes, I know about SuperKaramba :)) will make it awesome. | 22:04 |
| jimmy51vinsky | what's "Can't open file ./Bonnie.6234.000" indicate when trying to run bonnie to test an hdd? | 22:04 |
| Pennycook_ | peer_: If you're not sure KDE4 is for you, it might be worth downloading the KDE4 Remix Live CD. When I had KDE3 and KDE4 installed on Gutsy, the menu looked a little bit cluttered. | 22:05 |
| peer_ | Ok, I'll take a look at it. And July(ish) is not far away anyway. | 22:05 |
| psyco | Yes. Can't wait for 4.1 | 22:05 |
| psyco | KDE4 made me so pumped. | 22:06 |
| psyco | ANd it was quite the letdown. | 22:06 |
| secleinteer | Pennycook_: considering the amount of customizing i've done in kde3, i doubt it would be possible to replicate that in kde4 for quite a whle | 22:08 |
| secleinteer | possibly not until 4.2 or even 4.3 | 22:09 |
| o0Chris0o | err | 22:10 |
| o0Chris0o | now i hav eno sound | 22:10 |
| o0Chris0o | lol | 22:10 |
| Pennycook_ | secleinteer: Oh, I'm not denying that. Right now KDE4's customisability extends about as far as changing the window decorations and desktop background. XD | 22:10 |
| secleinteer | yeah, it's like gnome right now | 22:11 |
| secleinteer | *shudder* | 22:11 |
| jimmy51vinsky | how do i give write access to a mounted fat16 partition? | 22:11 |
| theunixgeek | Does the live CD come with KDE 4? | 22:11 |
| secleinteer | i was really excited about it, but didn't realize it would be released in such a state of incompletion until a few weeks before the release when all the dev's started warning about that | 22:12 |
| secleinteer | theunixgeek: you get a separate live cd with 4 | 22:12 |
| secleinteer | there are two versions, the 3 version and the 4 | 22:12 |
| theunixgeek | secleinteer: what about the one ordered from Canonical? | 22:12 |
| secleinteer | theunixgeek: that's probably 3 | 22:12 |
| theunixgeek | :( | 22:12 |
| theunixgeek | oh well, thanks anyway | 22:12 |
| jabba | secleinteer: incompletion? i have no problem with it at all | 22:12 |
| jabba | using it now, in fact. | 22:12 |
| secleinteer | jabba: well some people do ;) | 22:12 |
| jabba | what are the problems? | 22:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | well, it was a necessary release | 22:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | jabba: it would be easier to list what does work in kde4 | 22:13 |
| secleinteer | jabba: no customizability | 22:13 |
| secleinteer | LOL | 22:13 |
| secleinteer | true | 22:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i still have high hopes for 4.1 | 22:13 |
| jabba | wow. i wonder what i'm not doing, then | 22:13 |
| jabba | although, i guess i used the regular kubuntu install and then installed kde4 on top of it. | 22:14 |
| secleinteer | jabba: well i guess some people don't customize so much | 22:14 |
| jimmy51vinsky | sigh. it looks like bonnie won't run in 8.04 | 22:14 |
| secleinteer | i have a very unusual setup | 22:14 |
| jabba | secleinteer: i come from a mac and solaris background. i don't customize at all. :) | 22:14 |
| secleinteer | jabba: i come from a windows background, but that didn't stop me ;) | 22:14 |

| shane_ | what is the dif between kubuntu and ubuntu | 23:01 |
| Odd-rationale | shane_: what does the error message sya? | 23:01 |
| Odd-rationale | shane_: kubuntu uses kde. ubuntu uses gnome | 23:01 |
| Odd-rationale | different desktop environmetn | 23:02 |
| shane_ | there was an error starting GNOME settings daemon | 23:02 |
| shane_ | witch is better | 23:02 |
| shane_ | and easier | 23:02 |
| Odd-rationale | shane_: neither is better... | 23:02 |
| Odd-rationale | shane_: try ctrl+alt+f2. do you see a login prompt? see if you can log in there... | 23:03 |
| shane_ | is kubuntu harder to run | 23:03 |
| florian | I could use parts of my old X11-config, but i want to do something more 'official' | 23:03 |
| shane_ | ok it gave me a screen for login | 23:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | shane_: if the gnome settings daemon failed to run, log out and back in, you should be alright. | 23:03 |
| Odd-rationale | shane_: no kubuntu is not harder to run. it is just comestic differences and personal pref | 23:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | oh. | 23:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that. | 23:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | nevermind | 23:04 |

| el1te | hi al | 23:51 |
| el1te | im at the kubuntu site and i think im gonna get the 8.04 remix but isnt there a dvd 4.7gigs instead of the 70meg iso | 23:52 |
| el1te | 700meg iso* | 23:52 |
| billyd | elite - watch out for A Beta Firefox - - think it is on update -. Don't think it was on my DVD | 23:53 |
| el1te | so i should probably just get the 700meg iso? | 23:53 |
| el1te | for the remix | 23:54 |
| el1te | why is it a remix after all....i mean there is a kubuntu 8.04 why didnt they just put kde 4.0 in taht | 23:55 |
| el1te | anyone here? | 23:55 |
| billyd | I got the DVD in hope KDE $ was on it, but it wasn't. Not sure if the data on the DVD is any more than the data on the CD | 23:55 |
| el1te | billyd are you using the remix | 23:57 |
| el1te | how do you like kde 4.0 | 23:58 |
| billyd | No - I got the regular Live/Install DVD from DiscountLinux | 23:58 |
| billyd | It didn't conatian KDE 4 | 23:58 |
| el1te | ah | 23:58 |
| el1te | did you install it though | 23:59 |
| billyd | One reason I want KDE 4 is PalmPilot sychronization | 23:59 |
| florian | How can i add a user in kde4? | 23:59 |
| billyd | Kubuntu is more difficulat than SUSE in that regard | 23:59 |
| el1te | dont kde 4.0 supposed to have a taskbar like vista? i mean it looks better then it did in kde 3.5 didnt it? | 23:59 |
| billyd | NO - did not install | 23:59 |
