[00:00] BluesKaj: nope its the neon deb file for the amarok2 alpha. im trying to avoid downloading the huge dependencies as im running kde4 already. is this possible? [00:05] sigma_, I'm sure you can run amarok 1.4.9 (kde3) on kde4 [00:05] ok it appears i need the qt package, odd i thought kde 4.0.3 had qt installed already [00:05] sigma_: no... its not since neon uses 4,1 deps [00:05] rats [00:06] including qt4.4 [00:06] neon is worth it though :) totally cool. [00:06] a bit unstable though [00:06] <_CrashMaster_> oy [00:06] <_CrashMaster_> ok [00:06] BluesKaj: yeah i was doing that but i want to test drive amarok2 [00:06] <_CrashMaster_> I cant quite figure this out. What exactly IS usplash? [00:07] nosrednaekim: what exactly do you term unstable? [00:07] _CrashMaster_: the boot splash [00:07] sigma_: if you try to use any plasma applets within it..... it will crash on changing songs :P [00:08] otherwise its perfectly stable [00:08] nosrednaekim: huh plasma applets in the actual amarok program? [00:08] oh eyah [00:08] *yeah [00:08] <_CrashMaster_> nosrednaekim: Im at kde-look.org trying to find a pretty boot screen. But I think Im having a problem defining "boot splash" [00:08] nosrednaekim: hey, what is the command to start the desktop effects thing you wrote? [00:09] <_CrashMaster_> becasue there are apparently several different "boot splash" apps [00:09] Odd-rationale: desktop-effects-kde4 [00:09] nosrednaekim: ok thanks! [00:09] nosrednaekim: wait, why kde4? [00:09] its written in qt4 [00:09] don't worry :P [00:09] ok [00:09] nosrednaekim: can you give me an example of one of them? are they crucial parts of the program or bits that are enabled by the users choice? [00:10] sigma_: bits that are enabled by choice.... anything that was in the old "context" side bar [00:11] oh that joint, yeah always was the first thing i hid away in the old amarok [00:12] nosrednaekim: do the neon deb files have any dependencies that are outside of the "neon" repo? [00:15] sigma_: shouldn't, no [00:15] didn't for me at least [00:16] Hi [00:21] oh yes i wanted to ask, konqueror kde4 is encrypting https pages hey? === hexuser is now known as hexuser_ [00:34] sigma_: That's a statement, not a question. [00:35] anyone know why my wireless card would not work in hardy with nidiswrapper and have bcm5 driver enabled when i restarted? but when i restart the card shows blue as in disabled and nothing shows in iwconfig [00:35] jhutchins: well the little lock doesnt appear in the address bar but it still says https. how do i know the connection is secure? [00:36] Lenaud01: There are three possible drivers for the broadcom bcm43xx series: ndiswrapper w/ firmware, bcm43xx driver w/ firmware, and b43 drive w/firmware. DOn't knwo that applies. [00:37] sigma_: If you are connecting to the https port (443) on the server then you have an encrypted connection. [00:37] how would i know which i have jhutchins? [00:37] lspci? [00:37] <_CrashMaster_> lspci [00:37] I have a pavilion dv6839cl [00:38] lspci will detect my broadcom? [00:38] some of the dells use a hot key to turn the wireless on, and I don't believe that works in Linux. [00:38] this is a hp [00:38] brb [00:39] <_CrashMaster_> Lenaud01: type "sudo lspci | grep broadcom" and then pastebin it [00:39] <_CrashMaster_> well nm [00:40] Are there any big issues with 64 bit 8.04? [00:41] I remember 7.10 had some issues with flash especially, but some others with not running a lot of 32 bit programs right [00:42] <_CrashMaster_> TeslaTony: From everything Ive seen / heard, the 64bit isnt really a good choice unless you have a specific need for it. [00:42] TeslaTony, I have a 64bit cpu but gave up on the 64 bit OSs and apps due to lack of support [00:43] hello everybody [00:43] <_CrashMaster_> ok, time for a quick reboot to test the splashiness! [00:44] * BluesKaj looks around for Zeus [00:44] <_ZeuZ_> BluesKaj, Here am I :) [00:44] <_ZeuZ_> TeslaTony, Flash is not built for 64 bits [00:45] <_ZeuZ_> But we can use it through emulating the 32bits arch [00:45] <_ZeuZ_> files [00:45] <_ZeuZ_> packages like like ia32-libs [00:45] Yeah, I ditched 7.10 64-bit because the emulator didn't work [00:46] I did lspci and it said broadcom BCM4310 i did ndiswrapper -l and it says bcmwl5 that right ??? [00:46] <_ZeuZ_> As for support, BluesKaj, software compiled for amd64 rarely have different problems than 32bits versions, unless they run in low level, wich handles it different [00:46] <_ZeuZ_> TeslaTony, if you install the flashplugin-nonfree it will, it's not an emulator itself, you need the compatibility files... I just said emulator because it was shorter to see it that way for ya [00:47] <_ZeuZ_> Lenaud01, YOu don't really need to use ndiswrapper [00:47] <_ZeuZ_> install b43-fwcutter [00:47] I cant get my wireless to work [00:47] <_ZeuZ_> and have NATIVE SUPPORT [00:47] aww sweet [00:47] so just apt-get that?? [00:47] <_ZeuZ_> yup [00:47] ty [00:47] _ZeuZ_, I had probs with google earth, flash and some others so i just went with 32bit OS and i don't feel deprived in the least :) [00:47] <_ZeuZ_> letme confirm the package name [00:47] <_ZeuZ_> Me neither I have to say... [00:48] <_ZeuZ_> I use Debian(64bits), and FreeBSD (32bits) and personally, system alike, iX86 is more developed an accepted until now [00:48] <_ZeuZ_> I'm actually here to colaborate with KDE users [00:48] so sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter right ? [00:49] <_ZeuZ_> and, because I'm working to get some of my scripts for networking (turning a linux router system into a ISP with a couple of single scripts) [00:49] <_ZeuZ_> Lenaud01, letme confirm the package name, one sec... [00:49] ok thanks _ZeuZ_ [00:50] <_ZeuZ_> zeuz@Deimos:~$ apt-cache search b43 [00:50] <_ZeuZ_> b43-fwcutter - Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware [00:50] <_ZeuZ_> >>>>>>>>>>>>> That's all you need to know ;) just answer yes to the "download and fetch firmware" and then, enjoy [00:51] looks like you were right :) [00:51] thanks [00:51] now I can uninstall ndiswrapper [00:51] restarting thanks again _ZeuZ_ [00:52] <_ZeuZ_> Gosh, people come to ubuntu with a Windowslike sense [00:52] <_ZeuZ_> He would have had enough by modprobing b43 xD [01:12] every time i boot into hardy with a custom 2.5.25 kernel i have to boot in safe mood and ask it to first fix X; this appeared to have happened with the hardy-update rev=13 [01:12] anyway to make the config permanent? [01:12] hello [01:12] bye windows welcome kubuntu :), my uncle is change to kubuntu, and the son to Xubuntu because he has a 866mhz pc [01:30] hello to all..! [01:33] <_ZeuZ_> Gosh... I have to take a nap ebfore I continue dealing with this... [01:34] <_ZeuZ_> too much to take in count for this package... xD [01:34] <_ZeuZ_> Though I love contributing... [01:38] Ark seems to extract properly, but when I browse to the directory that I extracted to, nothing's there. [01:39] <_ZeuZ_> Perhaps a broken tar file? [01:39] It's a ZIP and it's perfectly fine. [01:39] :S [01:39] <_ZeuZ_> try from the command line, what kind of file is it? tar.gz = tar -zxvf FILE [01:39] <_ZeuZ_> oh, hmmm... [01:39] <_ZeuZ_> well, use the unzip commandline tool [01:40] Ok, thanks. [01:40] Have any recommendations for other archiving tools? I'm not saying that Ark is bad, I'd just like to try something else out. [01:40] <_ZeuZ_> (example: unzip file ) (pd: no need to specify the format, though it won't harm) [01:41] <_ZeuZ_> hehe... I just don't use them... I've made Kde to link those files to a scrpt I made in SH, where I can specify as $1 the filename and it will extract it to the ~/uncompressed/$1 [01:42] if i run apt-get through konsole, it keeps trying to connect to 127.0.0.1 - any idea how i can fix that? [01:42] i have a deb that i downloaded. how can i install it and get kubuntu to automatically download dependencies for it? [01:43] <_ZeuZ_> sigma_, dpkg -i FILE.DEB [01:43] <_ZeuZ_> (as a priviledged user, or with sudo ) [01:43] <_ZeuZ_> xt828_, well, that seems to be a problem with resolv.conf [01:43] <_ZeuZ_> seems like he cannot resolve the direction through localhost [01:44] <_ZeuZ_> try: dig archive.ubuntu.org @ 127.0.0.1 [01:44] _ZeuZ_: tried that but its not installing the dependencies, just saying that they are not installed [01:44] <_ZeuZ_> sigma_ run apt-get -f install [01:45] I use gdebi for debs [01:45] _ZeuZ_: i get the error dig: couldn't get address for '': not found [01:45] <_ZeuZ_> pirate_chef, I assume he's not using any Desktop Enviroment [01:45] OK [01:46] ZeuZ, how do you make the words appear in red for me like that? [01:46] Haven't used IRC much in awhile [01:46] <_ZeuZ_> xt828_, sorry my bad: dig @127.0.0.1 Site [01:46] pirate chef: I think you just type the name in front with colons, eh? [01:47] sarah: Yes? Like this? [01:47] <_ZeuZ_> pirate_chef, just type the nicknmame as it's displayed. use tab to aid you [01:47] <_ZeuZ_> pirate_chef, Exactly like that [01:47] _ZeuZ_: OK...neat! [01:48] pirate_chef: ah, yes, so I do have it figured out [01:48] _ZeuZ_: it says 1 server found, global options printcmd, connection timed out no servers could be reached [01:49] <_ZeuZ_> try: dig @127.0.0.1 www.google.com.ar and if it says the same, just try dig www.google.com.ar and let me know [01:49] <_ZeuZ_> I'll explain later why I make you do this check [01:49] <_ZeuZ_> gosh, now I see that I'm noton ubuntu server xD [01:50] <_ZeuZ_> xt828_, sorry, just try one of the servers on resolv.conf [01:50] _ZeuZ_: thanks the command did the trick [01:51] <_ZeuZ_> sigma_ installed and working, I suppose? ;) [01:51] where is resolv.conf [01:51] <_ZeuZ_> /etc/resolv.conf [01:51] _ZeuZ_: na still downloading, it had a huge amount of deps [01:51] <_ZeuZ_> first of all" can you browse the network or you can't do that either? If so, I'm guessing you're not in the same PC that the one in wich you're having problems [01:52] <_ZeuZ_> sigma_ lol [01:52] <_ZeuZ_> what are you trying to install, anyways? [01:52] _ZeuZ_: resolv.conf only has one entry: nameserver 192.168.1.1 [01:53] _ZeuZ_: im trying to install neon (amarok2 alpha) but because im in south "crap internet speed" africa i have to send the package files through kget [01:53] <_ZeuZ_> Now I know you're passing through a router (a router host or a phisical one) [01:53] the big ones that is [01:53] <_ZeuZ_> xt828_, then try dig @192.168.1.1 www.google.com.ar [01:54] it found the server fine, looks like [01:54] <_ZeuZ_> Dont paste it [01:54] <_ZeuZ_> it's not needed.. [01:55] no, it's rather a large response :P [01:55] <_ZeuZ_> xt828_, try from konsole: sudo route add default gateway 192.168.1.1 [01:56] <_ZeuZ_> and after that, hit apt-get again [01:56] _ZeuZ_: the first command got the response SIOCADDRT: File exists [01:56] apt-get had the same thing as before [01:58] <_ZeuZ_> weird... [01:58] <_ZeuZ_> do: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [01:59] will that disconnect irc? [01:59] <_ZeuZ_> Yes, but you'll be back in a minute... [01:59] <_ZeuZ_> actually if your PC and connection is fast enough, you won't be disconnected from anything [02:00] okay, done [02:01] <_ZeuZ_> try with apt now [02:01] same response as before [02:03] <_ZeuZ_> I'm asking in Debian-kde... Never happen to me so cannot deal with it, but gimme a while and I'll try toget an answer [02:03] oh, okay thanks [02:06] <_ZeuZ_> They told me the answer is in the FAQ: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKDE [02:06] <_ZeuZ_> check ther.e.. [02:08] anywhere in particular or run a search? [02:08] <_ZeuZ_> Dunno, I've not browsed it yet.. I'm dealing with a tcng script === epimeth_ is now known as epimeth [02:18] how do I make firefox default browser to open webpages from konversation? [02:20] o0Chris0o: settings --> configure --> [02:20] o0Chris0o: behaviour --> general --> use custom web browser [02:21] thanks Odd-rationale [02:21] np [02:22] I don't really care for Konqueror for some reason o.0 [02:23] I never like Konqueror either - for web browser for sure and not overly fond of it as file manager [02:24] And I'm nothappy with FF3 beta 5 as a non choice upgrade [02:24] i <3 konqueror [02:26] hey guys, i can't play dvds, i've installed libdvdcss from the scrip that kaffeine points you too, and that didn't work, so i restarted and it didn't help, just added the medibuntu repositories and installed thier version of libdvdcss2 and it doesn't work either [02:27] it worked in gutsy, for some reason hardy doesn't see it? [02:29] billyd you can always get 2.0 [02:30] I'd have preferred to be given a choice or better handle all beta stuff like KDE 4 is handled [02:30] I see [02:30] I tried kde4 [02:30] I wont be switching till first stable release comes out [02:30] I'd like to have it. "Spose to hand PalmPilots better [02:31] 4.0 *is* the first stable release [02:31] stable but lacking in some features. :) [02:31] "stable" and "feature complete" are two different things [02:31] haha, 4.0 was NOT stable [02:31] (no one promised 4.0 would be complete anyway) [02:32] 4.0.4 isn't stable [02:32] unless your a very very lenient person [02:32] I screwed-up going from Gutsy to Hardy and had a half and half system for a short while. I found Apt is awfully forgiving [02:32] not going to argue, but as far as "official releases" are concerned, 4.0 is the first stable. whether you consider it really stable or not, is not my concern [02:33] <_ZeuZ_> billyd, better use aptitude for dist-upgrades [02:33] <_ZeuZ_> either way, there-s no supported rollback [02:33] I'm considering reinstalling with the Hardy alternate CD, and had a question about the disk encryption offered. For the keyfile that you can use, is that required to be present at all times, or only initially during boot? [02:34] anyone know why libdvdcss2 does not work in hardy? [02:34] I probably will next time. It wasn't available to me when I had my problems and I couldn't down;oad anything either [02:35] <_ZeuZ_> mike-kubuntu, yousure you installed it? it works fine here... [02:36] <_ZeuZ_> do: sudo updatedb && locate libdvdcss2 | grep -v archives and check if it's installed [02:37] _ZeuZ_: that commands taking a while [02:37] <_ZeuZ_> It's supposed to be that way... [02:38] <_ZeuZ_> It's updating your disks file index and then it will browse through it and check for the installed library... [02:38] <_ZeuZ_> if not, you could have also done: find / -name libdvdcss2 | grep -v .deb [02:39] <_ZeuZ_> or, tons of alternatives... feel free to explore the bash shell... [02:40] _ZeuZ_: it found the NEWS REadme etc [02:40] ZeuZ only things in /usr/share/doc though [02:40] <_ZeuZ_> then the library is not installed... [02:41] <_ZeuZ_> sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 And then tell me the output [02:41] but "it says libdvdcss2 is already the newest version [02:42] <_ZeuZ_> you should find files under /var/lib too... [02:42] oh, found it in /var/lib/dpkg/info/libdvdcss2.* [02:43] sorry, has .list .md5sums .postinst .postrm and .shlibs [02:43] how do i get to make SQL conenct from anywhere? whats the file?

[02:44] <_ZeuZ_> have you installed it reciently? [02:44] does anyone know how i get rid of kde wallet, I accidently entered a password that i thought it wanted but somhow i made a new one , since i don't know what i entered, i used adept and removed it, but its still here, adept shows its gone but it still pops up [02:45] _ZeuZ_: just installed before last restart [02:45] Anyone else have suspend break for them with the backports update to kernel 2.6.24.17? [02:45] ciao a tutti [02:46] !it [02:46] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [02:46] Or, 2.6.24-17. It still works when I use kernel 2.6.24-16 on this Nforce4 board, [02:47] <_ZeuZ_> rkroetch_, I have the same the same chipset for my mobo and 2.6.24.16 and having no problem... [02:47] <_ZeuZ_> did you install the kernel from a deb or compiled it? [02:47] lol, booting into windows for a dvd, this is just silly [02:48] so anyone familiar with disk encryption with a keyfile? [02:48] _ZeuZ_: 2.6.24-16 has no problems for me, but the backports repository 2.6.24-17 causes me to hang upon resume [02:51] When using the K menu editor, if I click on the icon for the menu/program, it shows a list of available icons (or I can browse), but how do I figure out the location of the icon the program/menu currently uses?

[03:11] cool hanks [03:11] thanks [03:14] hey [03:14] can someone here help me set up a static ip (from my router) [03:17] navetz, unless your router is running kubuntu, there are probably better places to ask [03:18] do you mean set your PC to a static IP like 192.168.1.102? or make your router take a static ip? [03:18] anyone ever setup the cisco client for linux on kubuntu? [03:20] AndyMan1: I meant set my pc to a static ip [03:20] I am trying to configure it with knetworkmanager [03:22] wireless or wired? [03:22] AndyMan1: wireless [03:24] you should just be able to right click on the knetwork manager icon, choose manual configuration, choose eth1 or whatever the right interface is for you in the interfaces tab, choose configure interface, then click manual and plug in an IP and a netmask [03:24] AndyMan1: what should my netmask be? [03:24] AndyMan1: also what should I put for gateway? [03:25] if you're using the usual 192.168.1.x, the netmask is 255.255.255.0, gateway is 192.168.1.1 [03:25] do I have to do anything with the routes? [03:26] shouldn't need to, IIRC [03:26] AndyMan1: is the gateway suppose to be the address of my router, because I think the address of my router is 192.168.123.254 [03:27] yes. 192.168.1.1 is just the usual vanilla setup [03:27] ah ok, I was unsure what gateway was [03:28] if you're using something different than that, you might want to double check your router settings to make sure the netmask is correct [03:28] *that = vanilla setup [03:29] anything not correct in my explanation should be attributed to alcohol consumption ;-) [03:31] am I back online? [03:31] i see you [03:31] humm ok, it didn't work, I went back to automatic [03:31] I have to check my router settings for my netmask? [03:31] =( [03:33] AndyMan1: hey here are some things my router says: [03:33] Default Gateway [03:33] 24.57.96.1 [03:33] here is my subnet mask: 255.255.240.0 [03:33] what kinda router?

Is this a coincidence, or common? [03:39] I have mplayer svn installed from source, and want to use mplayer-plugin in firefox but when I try to apt-get mozilla-mplayer apt wants to install mplayer too -any way to tell apt it's already installed (kinda like package-provided in gentoo) [03:41] ok, i just installed kubuntu 8.04 & i'm ending up at a grub prompt [03:44] i have set my custom font size and text encoding in konsole. how do i save it for future use? [03:45] settings -> save as default [03:45] pteague: but sometimes i also need the original encoding [03:45] pteague: i prefer to save it as a special profile that i can load [03:45] save sessions profile then? [03:46] pteague: i tried, but nothing happens [03:46] pteague: i don't see the new session profile anywhere nor can i load it [03:47] configure konsole & schema tab - should be able to set up schema there [03:53] pteague: doesn't work. it seems konsole is crappy [03:54] admirsf@hotmail.com [03:55] ubuntu for mac?

[04:27] initially after installing ubuntu-server on the first reboot i got "GRUB loading... \ Error 17" [04:28] hi [04:28] i've gone through several reinstalls trying with & without /boot specifically created, i even installed fedora 9 which worked, but i don't want fedora... i reinstalled ubuntu-server & no longer had the Error 17, but now i'm just getting dumped to a grub menu [04:29] i even installed kubuntu, rebooted & right back at grub> [04:29] i am looking for the best linux OS that uses the GNOME desktop, and where i can download a disk image for it [04:29] can anyone help me?

It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [04:29] does it use GNOME, though? [04:30] wait, i just asked a BOT a question [04:30] * matthew_ facepalms [04:30] ubuntu uses gnome, kubuntu uses kde [04:30] k, i have kubuntu right now [04:30] & xubuntu uses xfce [04:30] never heard of that one... [04:30] what is it good for? [04:31] i like the KDE, but the filebrowser leaves a lot to be desired [04:31] if you want gnome & you have kubuntu installed, just use the package manager to install ubuntu-desktop [04:31] you can do that? [04:31] im running Kubuntu in a VM [04:31] as you can see, im a little new to it [04:32] yeah, they all use the same packages [04:32] i think i'd rather just set up a diferent VM with Ubuntu [04:32] that way i can still have the Kubuntu on this one [04:32] pteague: what filesystem did you use ? - ext3? [04:32] hmmm? [04:33] im assuming the desktop version of ubuntu would be best... [04:34] favafro> 501mb swap on each... the 1st ide uses ext3, the other 3 drives i initially had ext3 on them, the last time i tried i switched them to lvm [04:34] & the 501mb swap is 2nd partition on each [04:34] what is edubuntu? [04:35] it's geared for education... schools & such [04:35] hmmmm [04:35] interesting [04:35] educational games & such [04:36] pteague: from here - http://osdir.com/ml/user-groups.linux.kolkata/2005-01/msg00021.html - you can boot from the grub prompt - look at grub.conf for info [04:36] can anyone help me with gutsy and video playback on an ati x1600?

[05:37] Hi, I've been unable to boot my recent install of the kubuntu desktop 7.10. Initially, instead of the grub menu, a repeating L 99 99 99 ... appeared. I learned this was likely the result of the installation of grub by grub-install utility. Apparently the utility might probe a wrong BIOS drive, I ran the dos fsdisk /mbr and reinstalled but the result after repeated installs now is "Operating System not found". I tried to [05:37] tweak grub using the grub cl but that has been unsuccessful under the live cd. Although I'm able to execute commands on the grub cl or other bash commands in an xterm nothing actually gets written to the drive. Is this is the nature of the live cd? Short of changing the hard drive and insalling again or installing from a new live cd of 8.04, can anyone suggest a different approach to get my install to boot? [05:37] navetz__: yep you can the same way as for an ethernet connection and you don't need to worry about routes [05:40] oh goodie... "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/826f414e-d8b8-4f9b-a405-92d866abfda5 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" & then i get dropped to busybox ash with (initramfs) as the shell prompt [05:43] btw I've been unable to obtain any helpful suggestions on the #grub channel. Has anyone here had this experience? [05:44] i hate comcast. [05:44] so hard. [05:44] tomorrow i'm going to call them and bitch about this ridiculous traceroute.

[06:00] hmm, isn't system tray a panel applet? === St is now known as Stale [06:02] I see I have to option to remove it from the panel, but don't see where I'd add it back in [06:02] i can remove and add [06:03] but it's near my KDE button [06:03] astron, but you have a panel control called system tray? [06:03] in bottom right corner [06:03] so the tray is there, but the icons are missing? [06:05] astron: can you click the little arrow next to your clock that only appears when you mouse over the clock? [06:05] astron: then click move clock, and drag it back to where it belongs [06:06] astron: if the little arrow doesn't appear, your panel is probably locked. in which case you can right click the panel and click unlock panels [06:06] thanks for your help [06:06] ;0 [06:07] i will try in [06:07] err... ;) [06:07] it [06:09] i disconnected my sata drives & i'm hoping that might get this to work [06:10] I'm still here if anyone has a suggestion re my intermittent freezing problem. -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/12373/ [06:10] I'm pulling the ATI card from the box to see if that's the cause [06:10] what cpu do you have? [06:11] pteague, was that for me? [06:11] yes [06:11] izzyb_> i guess another question is do you know whether your cpu fan is working or not? [06:11] crap, box just crashed. its at the link though [06:12] yeah, I added extra fans to the box also, so I don't think this is heat releated [06:13] "Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz" [06:19] root [06:22] izzyb_> have you used the box for something else before or is it a new box? [06:24] my sound wont work...... [06:24] i had no problems in kubuntu 7.10 [06:26] my sound works with vlc [06:26] pteague, I used it as a temporary server running a debian netinstall. Nothing too fancy [06:26] but not for firefox.... [06:27] can anyone help? [06:27] I broke Dolphin! I am trying to mount my windows partition, it asks for my PW which I enter, then it hangs at "loading directory" [06:27] pteague, and it didn't have much of a load on it. I used it to do some hard drive backups and such at one point where I mounted a slave ide drive in the box to copy its data [06:28] did the same with a usb drive [06:28] Choreboy: I hate dolphin.. I generally prefer konqueror [06:28] I've done this successfully before... what could be wrong? [06:28] pteague, only thing that is really new to the box is the ATI x300 card which I've just pulled out [06:28] jonfhancock: Will that let me mount my partition so I can copy a file to it? [06:29] Konqueror is a full-featured file browser as well as web browser. [06:29] If you're having trouble mounting, try mounting from the command line [06:29] well then what is Dolphin doing in the mix of Konqueror is a do-all? [06:29] interesting... I'm getting a kernel bug error on startup now [06:30] sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/windows [06:30] where /dev/sda1 is your windows partition and /media/windows is a folder that already exists [06:30] izzyb_> k, wasn't sure if there just might be some kind of problem with the hardware :) i've had the same issue with a mobo that i had used before, but i put it in a different case & certain things didn't line up completely correctly & screwing 1 of the expansion cards down tight must have caused a short after it got warm cause it'd suddenly freeze after about 5 mins of running [06:30] kernel BUG at /build/buildd/linux-2.6.24/debian/build/custom-source-xen/arch/x86/mm/fault_32-xen.c:357 [06:30] konqueror can't mount it and doesn't even ask me for a password [06:30] anyone? [06:31] also had friends working at a place where their server was doing the same thing... it'd get hot enough & it'd short, they couldn't get the company to replace it so they gave it a bath so the company they worked at would have to replace it [06:31] Does anyone know what kde uses to determine whether or not to put something mounted in /media in system:/media ? I mount an intranet ftp server via FUSE to /media/ftpservername and I'd like it to show up for system use (ie where save dialogs use system:/ etc). Anyone have any hints for someone that's about exhausted his research abilities on the net? [06:31] Choreboy: I have no idea, but in 2 years, I have never used dolphin. and my desktop has 7 partitions acros 3 hard drives. I keep them all mounted all the time though [06:32] jonfhancock: Konsole gave me some useful info I did not know. You can't mount a hibernated windows partition. [06:32] ah [06:32] there you go. I didn't know that either. Konsole never fails to reveal more info [06:32] this answers my question as to why it works sometimes and not other times. [06:33] alright then, thanks for the assist! [06:33] you bet [06:33] umm can someone help me diagnose a sound problem? [06:34] Choreboy: you can force ntfs-3g [06:34] I've done that. But, I'd only do that in read-only mode ;) [06:34] The hibernate things is annoying. :) [06:35] Stale: how do I do that? [06:35] Stale: I need writeability [06:35] unless someone knows how I can get XP to read an XFS partition? [06:35] it seams like i have everything I need to make my sound work, i just assume that one setting is off somewhere...... i had my sound working for vlc the other day, and now its not working for anything.... can soemone help? === Jabopz is now known as Jabop [06:36] Choreboy: I would play it safe and just boot to windows and shut it down fully [06:36] I am having trouble: fdisk -l shows /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc as recognized drives. df -h -a shows that root is running off of /dev/hda. I should have 5 drives total. what can I do to get my drives back? running gutsy. [06:36] jonfhancock: sage advice. [06:36] choreboy: man ntfs-3g [06:36] morphius, fdisk -l /dev/hda [06:36] it's like --force or something, but I forget [06:37] Stale: that's read-only, yes? [06:37] can be both [06:37] morphius, I'm not sure what causes some drives not to show, but specifying the drive usually displays it correctly [06:37] but writing to a hibernated ntfs window partition isn't something i'd personally do is all ;) [06:37] maybe try sudo fdisk -l [06:37] oh my. I'm very wary of doing that. I have no reason to tempt fate at the moment so I think I'll do it the long way [06:38] Ah hah. Running sudo fdisk -l will give me all my drives! [06:38] * morphius kicks self [06:38] Does anyone know of something that will enable XP to read XFS partition? [06:38] * morphius grins sheepishly [06:38] that would be mighty handy. [06:39] not xfs, but there's a driver to get windows to read ext2/ext3 drives [06:39] yeah I read about that, but in my endeavor to eek out every inch of performance I can, I chose XFS for the minor gain in throughput [06:40] i just wish microsoft would grow up & admit all their stuff is crap & start using real software [06:41] * Stale holds breath for that moment [06:41] * Stale dies [06:41] hehe [06:41] stale don't do it! It ain't gonna happen [06:41] breathe! [06:41] What is the fastest way to locate files on the hard drive? [06:41] hehe [06:41] they could start by actually allowing multiple real fs to be used [06:41] does PyQt4 come bundled with Kubuntu like PyGTK comes with Ubuntu? [06:42] hi all, is it normal that the kdm.log is 5gb big and the xorg.0.log 2gb? or should i be worried [06:42] pteague: even if they don't bundle it with windows, at least make it available in some form. [06:43] In Kate Configuration, what's the difference between Editing>General>Tabulators and Editing>Indentation>Indentation Properties?

[07:42] basically: yes ;) [07:42] I NEED HELP [07:42] otherwise try to diff the two status files from the two systems, that should give you a good starting point [07:42] PLEASE [07:42] dataflow: then dont use CAPS [07:43] ok sorry [07:43] me pueden ayudar [07:43] and that script would have totally emptied my database... glad i didn't run it... [07:44] i guess everyone in #alsa is on vacation [07:44] cq heh. there arent two systems anymore... like i said i merged them [07:45] you could just isntall everything and then deinstall all you don't need ... :) [07:45] #ubuntu [07:45] how do i change default soundcard... [07:45] yeah ummm let me count how many packages that would be [07:45] asoundconf isnt working for me. [07:46] Agent_bob: too many for your hard disks :) [07:46] nah only about 3400 [07:46] Agent_bob: but seriously, many of the other packages will have dependencies, so it will update them and catch most anyway after a while [07:47] i am serious. i can do that it's only 3467 packages and a great lot of them are already installed anyway [07:47] you'll bloat your system for no reason, but it's your system... [07:49] i can always do apt-get remove perl* python* and answer "Yes, do as I say!" when it asks that will debloat it [07:52] HOLA [07:52] looks like the "install them all..." way is going to fix it ok... [07:53] then don't update package lists before... [07:53] My desktop shows a link to media, which is the partition that I'm booted off of (Weird), and when I try to open it i get this error [07:53] Method "Mount" with signature "ssas" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" doesn't exist [07:53] otherwise you may get even more packages [07:54] ok well ill try again tommorow [07:54] thanks anyways guys [07:54] Hello, I'm using kde 3.5.9. and I can not configure kicker due to library issues, specifically: kcm_kicker.la not found in paths.

I'm thinking of using metacity in Kubuntu in order to use this theme I really like, but I don't know how to access metacity settings in Kubuntu. [10:32] I know to type in metacity --replace [10:32] But that's about all I know. [10:32] I have Metacity installed because I have GNOME, too. [10:33] Giant_Speck: does man metacity give anything? [10:33] <_2> why is /usr/bin/txt a symlink to host ? even the man page is a link ... ? [10:35] <_2> looks like /usr/bin/zone is also linked to host .... [10:35] I just bought a core2duo machine, which ISO file should I use to install kubuntu? [10:35] Giant_Speck: try logging off then changing you environment to metacity [10:35] amd64? [10:35] either will work [10:35] podecoet: 64bit if the cpu is 64 bit, otherwise i386 for 32 bit [10:35] 64 is less mature [10:35] ...with openSuse I could only see 3.2GB of my 4GB of ram lol [10:35] Metacity isn't an option when I do that. It's a window manager, not an environment. [10:36] apaprently that's due to isntalling a 32bit OS [10:36] Giant_Speck: thats what i meant [10:36] <_2> podecoet i saw a fellow earler that said with ubuntu he could only see 3g of his 4g of ram [10:36] yes, there are work arounds, but if you have 4GB that is as good a reason as an to go 64 [10:36] moin, who's using kde 4 here? [10:37] I know how to initiate metacity by typing "metacity --replace" into the console, but from there I do not know how to install that actual theme. [10:37] can one of you tell me the file name of the kde4 systemsettings .desktop file? [10:37] Wait a second. [10:37] is it kde4-systemsettings.desktop or systemsettings.desktop ?

[12:14] if it was working before, then there is no reason to think it's hardware problem, it's just a guess that the sound card has a problem [12:14] i just installed the system yesterdaay, no idea if it was working before [12:14] but try other drivers instead of auto detect [12:14] its a lenovo x61 laptop [12:14] force it to use something else [12:18] tried those, all don't work, open sound and threaded open sound report busy when I try the amarok welcome segment [12:20] by the way i hear nothing when i put ctrl+g in the terminal [12:20] but my sound works [12:22] it's better to close amarok completely and test the sound in system setting>sound system [12:24] http://www.kubuntu.org/faq.php should it really say "You must however supply the source code at cost"? shouldnt it be "at no cost"? =) [12:25] thnee: nope [12:26] "at cost" means "at a price no higher than that which covers transport/media costs" [12:27] you can charge for distribution of GPLed source code, but you aren't allowed to make a profit from that charge (i.e. you just charge for the cost of the disc / bandwidth if applicable).

I've tried to switch to KDE4. Keyboard layout switching works there. But the new Vista-like interface is awful in my opinion. Ok, don't care about interface yet, but where are programs, which I use here in KDE3.5: kopete, kdeTV. Especially KDETV! How to use TV-tuner in KDE4 ? Any ideas? [14:01] Coder2: you can run KDE3 apps in kde4 with the right libraries. they just arn't autoinstalled [14:02] llutz: "free cluster summary wrong" - it asks me to correct this [14:02] geek__: Sorry for my stupidity, but how to launch those programs ? [14:02] can data be lost? i can't afford to lose certain files... [14:02] Coder2: probably arn't installed tight now [14:02] romunov: always make sure to have a backup [14:02] try using apt to search for it, and installing it [14:02] kopete kmail etc are due in 4.1 kdetv may be coverd by the media player otherwise it depnds on the kdetv maintainer [14:03] geek__: please explain. They are still there whem I've logged into KDE3.5 again. [14:03] thats odd [14:04] when i used kde 4 i had both KDE3 and 4 apps turn up [14:04] llutz: thanks a bunch, file deleting now works, so does saving files! [14:04] geek__: Sure, very odd. KDE4 app menu is almost empty [14:04] Coder2: you could try starting it from command line >_> [14:04] or use katapult :P [14:05] But here in KDE3 app menu has grown with KDE4 apps.

[14:06] asin kicker or asin in each program? [14:07] _eMaX_, ask in #kubuntu-kde4 [14:08] Xbehave: which mediaplayer have your mentioned? Can it do TV channel setup? [14:09] i don't know i know in kde3 kaffeine would do tv channels so maybe kde4s media player does too ? [14:12] Xbehave: I don't know. I've tried tv-time - works, but too poor; MythTV - installed, but unusable GUI, I was not able to manage channels there, zapTV - crashed at start and KDETV - works fine, but not able to record. Thanks, I'll take a look at kaffeine. [14:13] BTW, where is a right place to ask questions about TV-tuners and kubuntu? [14:14] Mine produces too low audio-level under kubuntu. And it is loud under WinXP. I mean ComPro T300 [14:14] can anyone help me with a HAL problem [14:14] erm depends how technical, you can give it a shot but as were not very active perhaps #ubuntu or #mythtv will be better [14:15] mythTV is not what I want :( [14:15] no but theyll no about tv-tunners [14:16] !ask [14:16] 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. :-) [14:16] My main question is what program to use? I want convenient watching and recording. [14:16] shaneireland: give it a shot maybe we can maybe we cant [14:16] i dont have hal in my etc/init.d folder and im having usb automount problems [14:16] im wondering if the 2 are linked [14:16] im running 7.04 [14:17] Coder2: well im not sure ive used kaffine (kde3) and it was ok thiers also elisa that ive heard some buzz around [14:18] is there any program like aftereffects available? [14:18] Coder2: VLC can watch and record IIRC [14:19] shaneireland: wierd it could be the cause i can sent you my hal if you want [14:19] is there anyway i can reinstall it [14:20] so it should defo me there then in etc/init.d [14:20] Xbehave: VLC? Have you ever tried to tune in even on a single channel? It is real pain. There is no autoscan or something similar there. It is a very goor player though. [14:20] cd init.d [14:20] ive done sudo apt-get --reinstall install hal and its still not in etc/init.d [14:21] Xbehave could u dcc it to me and ill try saving it in the right folder [14:21] you could try reinstalling hal-device-manager but thats just a ui [14:22] ok ill try that [14:22] im not registerd dont think i can send files, ill stick it on pastbin tho [14:23] Hi all, I have a problem running Ubuntu on a Dell Vostro 1000 laptop, with an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150. Everything works fine until the X server be initialized. Well I can't saw the X running yet [14:24] cool thanks xbehave it is just one file then? [14:24] anyone have another solution or I really had to initialize the LiveCD with options to use the vesa driver instead? [14:25] installex the gui but still dont have /etc/init.d a hal directory [14:25] ops... running Kubuntu. I try both, with KDE 3 and 4 [14:25] My usb bluetooth dongle pairs with my bt headset but a second after it drops the connection again? It's almost like there is some kind of suspend or sleep mode that's activated? Any help would be great please! [14:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12460/ [14:26] cool thanks xbehave [14:26] shaneireland: im not sure init.d is just the startup script if hal is actually missing youve got other problems [14:26] do u know how i reinstall or install hal [14:27] !hal [14:27] For an informative description of the Hardware Abstraction Layer , go to this site : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer [14:27] hmm well that link is useless, i dunno try #ubuntu they might have somebody who knows about hal [14:28] is there a way to pipe output to your clipboard? [14:29] got that and it says it already running [14:32] Xbehave, you could copy and paste [14:35] shaneireland, are you at the TTY prompt/irssi ? [14:36] I have problems with Krusader. [14:37] ..concerning hidden files and permissions. [14:38] ...in context of syncronating folders (or making a backup) [14:38] Bozo[ec04], did you have the ati "restricted driver" option after installing the OS ? [14:41] BBL...chores to do [14:42] I can't install the OS because it can't login LiveCD [14:42] Is it possible to add a panel to the top of the screen (in addition to the one all ready at the bottom), sort of like Gnome? [14:43] When I boot with liveCD everything goes ok until the X server goes up. [14:43] Can anyone say how do you exclude directory ~/.wine from comparison in Krusader::Synchronize Directories? [14:44] at this time the screen start blink with some weird pixels on bottom of screen [14:44] looks like KDM loops between start and chashes [14:45] I think this occurs due errors with my graphics card (an Ati Xpress Radeon 1150 onboard) [14:46] After many times trying to use the terminal (with Ctrl + Alt + F1) and changing the xorg.conf Driver to vesa it works. [14:46] and this xorg.conf is really strange... It has no Driver option in Device section [14:47] and nothing else... [14:48] has some reason to xorg.conf be so clean? [14:48] Bozo[ec04]: Hardy's xorg.conf is a bit odd... I assume that the idea is to rely more on automatic configuration rather than the xorg.conf file [14:48] but I don't know for sure [14:49] hi folks, running ubuntu (recently upgraded to 8.04) that was preinstalled on my dell laptop i just bought... I'm a kde user though... should I install kubuntu-desktop deb, or should I install kubuntu from scratch?\ [14:53] I think this is up to you. I preffer kubuntu from scratch, because i don't use any gtk app (except firefox and openoffice). [14:53] up to you joshual, both ways work, one is easier and the other leaves you with a cleaner install [14:56] hey all [14:58] if i connect my cable tv (usually scart) and adapt it to svideo, Can I output the signal using tvtime?

[17:27] Lenaud01: yes you need the firmware thats just a tool to install it, the easiest way is to use resricted drivers manager [17:27] Lenaud01: fwcutter just cuts the firmware from the driver [17:27] Lenaud01: kubuntu has an automatic tool for installing broadcom drivers with Restricted Drivers Manager [17:28] what tool xsacha?? [17:28] Lenaud01: /usr/share/applications/kde/restricted-manager-kde.desktop should sort it out [17:28] put that in a console? [17:28] Can i install kde 4 apps under KDE3 [17:28] there you go [17:29] TimS: yes [17:29] Lenaud01: alt+f2 [17:29] Lenaud01: yeah or get to it through menus its somewhere in settings [17:30] thanks will give that a shot [17:30] settings->hardware drivers i think [17:30] yeah, Hardware Drivers Manager [17:30] in System [17:31] Lenaud01: Or type command "sudo kcmshell System/restricted-manager-kde" [17:33] Xbehave: OK, I looked through that keys.desktop file, and I'm not understanding how is that going to bind my key? Don't I have to use xmodmap or something similar? Maybe I didn't understand your comment. [17:33] is there a way to move the navigation buttons/address bar/search bar to the main menu too bar and basically save me from an extra toolbar like i can do in firefox? [17:34] Steve-cal: over here, by default, print screen takes a screenshot and opens KSnapshot [17:35] xsacha: Hmmm, nothing happens when I hit "prt Scrn". Any idea of why I may not have that functionality? [17:36] no idea [17:36] try running ksnapshot from a konsole [17:36] maybe the program is broken [17:36] Steve-cal: open xev and press PrtScrn to look if it gives the right symbol back [17:37] Xbehave, xsacha: Maybe I need to make it so pushing my print screen button launches ksnapshot? Any idea how to set this up? BTW, I can run ksnapshot fine from the console. [17:37] Steve-cal: under miscellaneous i have window screenshot and desktop screenshot, but no normal screenshot [17:37] llutz: Yes, xev sees my print screen key just fine. [17:38] hey folks unable to remove kio-umountwrapper getting error: E: kio-umountwrapper: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2 [17:38] Steve-cal: what number is the key (hex number) [17:38] help? [17:38] so i read a few articles on a forum and it says to add noapic to my boot loader, but it still crashes with the sound card [17:38] xsacha: keycode 111 (keysym 0xff61, Print) [17:38] Steve-cal: you could bind ksnapshot to printscreen by either of those or under aplication shortcuts > graphics, but this has left me confused as to how mine works [17:39] *command shortcuts [17:40] i wish someone would make kde4.1 packages for kubuntu . its so unfair that opensuse has them and we dont [17:40] Steve-cal: are you using compiz ? [17:41] Xbehave: No, my monitor is too old to support it. :) [17:41] i am personally sticking with 3.5 for as long as i can [17:41] nm got it [17:41] Steve-cal: keycode 111 (keysym 0xff61, Print) [17:42] i thought it would be really bad but 4.0.3 is surprisingly stable [17:42] only plasma has a few issues [17:42] the funny thing about 4.0.4 is that i get sound with the sb live but not on 3.5 [17:43] whoops i got disconnected? [17:43] well thats because kde4 has phonon [17:43] whats that [17:43] Gah, plasma [17:44] That netsplit was fairly painless :) [17:45] lol [17:45] Steve-cal: yeah in that case simply binding printscrn to ksnapshot through command shortcuts or kmenu editor should work [17:46] Xbehave: OK, using command shortcuts under "keyboard shortcuts" in the System Manager fixed the problem. Thanks for the help. :) [17:46] np [17:46] xsacha: Under your command shortcuts, does it show that kscreenshot is linked to the print screen key? [17:47] commands where? [17:49] Steve-cal: where is this? [17:49] xsacha: In your KDE System Settings program, under "keyboard shortcuts", click the tab for "command shortcuts" and see if ksnapshot is set to run with the print key. [17:50] oh found it [17:50] it's in KDED shortcuts [17:50] Print > Print [17:50] kwin has two print-screen related shortcuts too [17:50] ctrl+print and alt+print [17:50] Steve-cal: are you using kwin... or maybe compiz-fusion? [17:52] xsacha: No compiz-fusion, and I have no idea if I'm using kwin... how would I check? [17:52] kwin is default WM for kde [17:52] Ridell: whats the easiest way to install kde4.1 alpha on kubuntu? [17:52] xsacha: Then I assume I'm using it. :) [17:52] sigma_1234: install kubuntu 8.04 [17:53] Steve-cal: yeah, dunno what the problem is [17:53] !WINE [17:53] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [17:53] !AppDB [17:53] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [17:53] xsacha: And what is "KDED shortcuts"? You lost me on that. [17:53] I want know how to uninstalll WINE .. but full with configuration [17:53] any ideas ? [17:54] xsacha: theres only 4.0.4 packages. not 4.1 alpha ones [17:54] Steve-cal: oh im using KDE4.. i think it shows shortcuts differently.. it shows shortcuts by programs [17:54] Because i must reinstalling wine...sudo apt-get remove wine its not for me [17:54] sigma_1234: 4.0.4 came out after the 4.1 alpha, im pretty sure [17:54] and i want how to uninstall cedega [17:54] sigma_1234: there is a 4.0.x at the end of every month 'x' [17:54] sigma_1234: so at the end of this month, there will be a 4.0.5 [17:55] fr [17:55] yeah but i want to install kde4.1 alpha . opensuse has packages but not kubuntu [17:55] advanced: If nobody here steps in to help you, you might try #winehq [17:55] sigma_1234: i dont think you understand.. 4.0.4 > 4.1 alpha.. 4.04 came out after === jimmy_ is now known as jsolis [17:56] sigma_1234: 4.1 alpha had an unstable API because a lot of stuff was rewritten, it was actually skipped in kubuntu... 4.0.4 then came out [17:56] but doesnt 4.1 alpha have new features that 4.0.4 doesnt? [17:57] sigma_1234: considering 4.1 alpha came out BEFORE 4.04, no [17:57] 4.1 has a broken plasma which was later fixed in 4.0.4, but thats about it [17:57] alpha [17:57] i see [17:58] about 2 weeks until 4.0.5 is released [17:58] is there a major difference between 4.0.3 and 4.0.4? [17:59] yeah [17:59] could anyone recommend a good utility for testing out new hardware? i just built a machine...running fine, but would like to run some extensive memory/cpu tests etc. make sure it's stable under high loads and such [17:59] !mpg [17:59] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [17:59] xsacha: Escuse me for interjecting, but why is a subsequent release numbered less than the previous one? (4.0.4 < 4.1)? Just curious. [17:59] sigma_1234: 4.0.4 is build requiring Qt4.4.. and is noticably fasteer [17:59] Steve-cal: 4.1 ALPHA :P [17:59] Steve-cal: it's actually not 4.1 at all === Xerxes is now known as poisonblack === wirechief__ is now known as wirechief-sony === rysiek__ is now known as rysiek|pl [18:00] sigma_1234: Steve-cal: 4.0.x are monthly builds at the end of each month, 'x'. alphas and betas are scheduled releases depending to this Release Schedule: http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Schedules/KDE4/4.1_Release_Schedule [18:01] are you sure 4.0.4 is running qt4.4? [18:01] alpha 1 was released on april 22, for example. 4.0.4 was released at the end of april (30th or so) [18:01] sigma_1234: 4.0.4 required Qt4.4... it isnt possible to compile it without Qt4.4 [18:01] weswh: A really good RAM memory tester is memtest86. [18:01] sigma_1234: plasma and a lot of other kde stuff moved to Qt4.4-only around kde4.1 alpha time which is why a lot of stuff was broken then and then fixed in 4.0.4 [18:02] APIs rewritten and so on [18:02] * sigma_1234 how big is the download to update from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4? [18:02] actually KDE 4.1 Beta 1 is tagged in 3 days by the way [18:03] sigma_1234: unless you have a package manager like conary that updates files individually instead of packages, you'll probably need to install whole packages (over 300 megs?) [18:03] 3 whole days!!!!!!!11e^i pi() === wirechief_ is now known as wirechief-emachi [18:04] will there be beta 1 packages available? [18:04] join #ubuntu [18:04] srry [18:05] can someone tell me a compression program similar in capability to WinRar for Kubuntu? i find Ark to be horrible. [18:05] sigma_1234: they will probabyl wait for 4.0.5 [18:05] shaffy: you can run winrar in linux [18:06] i thought that the kde 4.1 alpha and beta releases were seperate from the kde 4.0.x releases [18:06] xsacha: you mean via wine? [18:06] sigma_1234: thats correct, they go by different timelines.. 4.0.x is like a monthly build [18:06] shaffy: no [18:06] shaffy: i mean go to their website http://rarlabs.com/download.htm download the RAR for linux version [18:07] !rar [18:07] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [18:07] shaffy: you could also use that.. unrar-free [18:07] xsacha: i believe both are command line interfaces only, correct? [18:07] yes [18:07] but its the same codebase being added to all the time right? [18:08] shaffy: winrar works in wine with a GUI if thats what you want === martina is now known as martillamike [18:09] xsacha: do you know of a kubuntu alternative? (with a GUI that is) [18:09] xsacha: are you running 4.0.4? [18:09] sigma_1234: yeah [18:09] shaffy: kubuntu will run all programs that other linux distros run [18:10] shaffy: whats wrong with running winrar through wine? [18:10] !emerald [18:10] Factoid emerald not found [18:10] !emerald-theme [18:10] Factoid emerald-theme not found [18:10] xsacha: does your dolphin hav tabbed browsing? [18:10] xsacha: i guess i just want to get away from windows programs... they make me feel disloyal. lol [18:10] sigma_1234: that was added after 4.0.4 [18:11] sigma_1234: about 10 days ago i think [18:11] shaffy: there are linux ones with a gui, but they really suck (eg. linuxrar) [18:11] xsacha: so it will be in 4.0.5 right? [18:11] sigma_1234: yes [18:12] shaffy: what was your problem with Ark? i think it has a problem with passworded rar files but that's about it -- works for every other .rar i know of [18:12] I want to use an up-to-date operating system without having beta software thrust upon me. How do I switch back to firefox 2? [18:12] xsacha: yeah, i just wanted to get away from it, period. [18:12] anyway, no worries. [18:12] i have one problem now...how to do ...emerald start when i start Linux ? [18:12] thanks xsacha. i'll figure something out. :D [18:12] shaffy: mm just googled and found aKu [18:13] xsacha: what terms did you google? [18:13] shaffy: try this: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Archiving/aKu-37782.shtml [18:14] its rar utility designed for KDE4 [18:14] shaffy: here, kapps link: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/aKu?content=78839 [18:15] looks good === uga|away is now known as uga [18:16] hi all [18:16] I'm trying to download kubuntu 64bits, it exists? [18:16] it sure does.. im talking to you on it :) [18:16] xsacha: thanks. i appreciate the help! [18:16] shaffy: no probs [18:17] !compix [18:17] Factoid compix not found [18:17] !compiz [18:17] Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness.

[18:18] hardy is the latest version.. it comes in 2 versions: kde3 and kde4 [18:18] kde4 is unstable and not feature complete. but it looks very pretty [18:18] the former is reason why kde3 version exists [18:18] its for a VM, so, could be kde4 [18:19] yeah kde4 should be fine for vm [18:19] ups, 64 bits for AMD? I have core 2 quad [18:19] sure [18:19] they should mention that [18:19] eh, they do hahaha [18:19] doh me [18:19] direct rendering would make your kde4 look much nicer though..

[19:52] el1te: can I suggest a temporary workaround? [19:52] el1te: you could install gnome's apt frontend [19:52] genii i have festival already [19:52] Paco_Paco: Tehre are, but festival is the main one used [19:53] where can i get the others [19:53] I set up my sound following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto and while it works now, I have to have all the sound controls at 100% (in alsamixer and amarok) just to hear my music [19:53] el1te: usually gnome management stuff works better than kde one.

[19:53] it did have problem closing [19:54] espeak isnt in the repos genii i tried to download and install it earlier [19:54] el1te: it must be the apt client that was left running [19:54] el1te: killall -9 apt [19:54] i tell it dont start when i reboot but it keeps starting too [19:54] el1te: that should fix it [19:54] no process killed? [19:54] weird [19:54] ok nvm got it thanks genii [19:54] then it might just be that the lock file wasn't removed... [19:54] el1te: do you see where the lock file is? [19:55] SSJ_GZ: thanks for the link. Only problem is that the fix refers to something under "System Settings->System Administration->Paths" - I can't find that. [19:55] ie, does apt tell you when it says it's locked?

Then just rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock [19:56] and try again [19:56] says another process is using it maybe [19:56] yes, that's possibly because adept didn't close properly [19:56] dmbkiwi: Ah - Personal -> Paths [19:56] dmbkiwi: Ah - Personal -> About Me -> Paths, rather [19:56] dpkg was interupted i must reconfigure [19:56] omfg [19:57] el1te: it'll be fine, don't worry [19:57] SSJ_GZ: Thanks - found it through the Konqueror services menu.

[19:58] el1te: ubuntu == kubuntu, just with a gnome gui [19:58] el1te: you can use ubuntu tools under kubuntu [19:58] you just need to install them through adept or whatever you want [19:58] it's the same distribution, just a different gui [19:59] sorry, I have to go now.

[21:31] 02:00.0 SATA controller: JMicron Technologies, Inc. JMicron 20360/20363 AHCI Controller (rev 02) [21:31] that's all i got (using the CD) [21:32] Maaatin: sabe O have home... I'm unable to install kubuntu there [21:32] if anyone has suggestions... this will apply for me too [21:32] i read several things on forums.. but nothing useful [21:33] you have a RAID controller onboard... Mine is JMicron 363 too... [21:33] Maaatin: Is your drive connected to the JMicron controller? (The SATA port on your motherboard) [21:33] yep [21:33] you have your hard drive connected in sataII [21:33] afaik... you can try to load sata_piix [21:33] and pray it finds your hard drive [21:33] it worked for me in SuSE [21:33] well.. how to modprobe when booting? [21:34] bonsoir [21:34] hello. where does amarok store podcast subscriptions, so that I can restore from a backup? [21:34] Maaatin: you should modprobe it with the CD and see if dmesg gives you anything good, it'll ussually tell you an error or that it found certain drives [21:34] (nobody answered in #amarok nor #kde) [21:34] oh, i see [21:34] french channel ??? [21:35] fafouille: non [21:35] the link is ??? [21:35] Maaatin: If you need it to load before system begins, put the module name into the initram conf file and regenerate the initramfs [21:35] #kubuntu-fr [21:35] FATAL: Module sata_piix not found. [21:35] thk [21:35] Odd-rationale: Thank you for the hint. There were no predefined shortcuts so I had to define them. [21:35] philsf: Have you tried ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/ [21:35] axel_: yes [21:35] Maaatin: try ata_piix [21:36] rkroetch_: yeah, I grepped some keys there, but no joy [21:36] I just remember it was something as piix [21:36] Odd-rationale: That solved my problem. Thanks again! [21:36] returns nothing - seems to be loaded [21:36] axel_: np [21:36] also ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc [21:36] ata_piix 19588 1 [21:36] says lsmod [21:37] philsf: Well, if it doesn't store it there... that's weird, sorry I can't help [21:37] that's this one I used to install SuSE @ home... [21:37] rkroetch_: k, thanks [21:37] it worked and I have JMicron 363 [21:37] btw... I couldn't find a way to install Kubuntu there... so if you find a solution [21:38] ould you please mail me with what have you done? [21:38] *could [21:38] guilhermeblanco: did you already check wether the "root"-thing is given right in the menu.lst [21:39] i read there are some people, where it only changed from /dev/sda6 to /dev/sdc6 or sth. [21:39] I'm a bit far from my pc to tell you... around 700km [21:39] I'm going home in 1h... 11h of bus [21:39] if you find a solution, please mail me... [21:39] guilhermeblanco gmail [21:39] I gtg now [21:39] thanks in advance [21:41] I set up my sound following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto and while it works now, I have to have all the sound controls at 100% (in alsamixer and amarok) just to hear my music [21:43] aaroncampbell: PErhaps try solution mentioned in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=389560 [21:43] hey guys i got a problem with hibernate [21:43] hm.. he didn't leave his addy :< [21:43] everything works but after hibernation it seems i lose my USB devices [21:44] Maaatin: I think he did but forgot the @ between name and gmail [21:45] ah, i see [21:45] ok [21:46] i tried a usb mouse and keyboard and neither are even getting power [21:46] anethum_a: powering doesn't depend on the operating system [21:47] as far as the machine is on, they should work as power sources [21:48] well when i plug in the keyboard and mouse, neither show any lights and its only after hibernation, [21:49] anethum_a: then it's a suspend recovery issue, ok [21:49] maybe the USB gets suspended and not restored? [21:49] ok, thanks a bunch [21:49] np for nothing =) [21:49] ok i'm gonna go to uboontu.com and search around [21:50] I am having problems installing Ubuntu on this machine, I am getting getting an xserver crash. I think its because of my Nvidia 6800. [21:50] well at least i know what to search for now ;) [21:50] i seem to be having some problems with sound, i'm getting a message that xine cannot initalise audio drivers from amarok. any ideas? ? [21:50] anethum_a: you can find loads of similar issues, possibly kernel related [21:50] The fail I get is 'Failed to start the X server. Would you like to view the log?' When viewing the log I get "Fatal server error: no screens found" [21:50] there were similar bugs even on the 2k4.... [21:50] gwp: the driver is missing [21:51] gwp: or it's not working. is it an nvidia or ati card? [21:51] How do I get the driver as part of the install?

[21:52] gwp: or well.... did you install nvidia drivers first? [21:53] maybe not [21:53] I get, Not loading nvidia module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:53] guys [21:53] kubunt kde4 is pure awesome [21:54] ya'll rock [21:54] gwp: heh okay, it's trying to use the nv driver and possibly it's not supporting your card, okay, just a second [21:54] gwp: 32bit or 64bit box? [21:55] No, I cant get Kubuntu to install, I download the 64 bit, kubuntu kde4 and burned it, the cd is not bootable but the bootable files are there, must of been the default windows burner, so i reverted to my live disk, and it doesnt work [21:55] well i can go either [21:55] ah, I see... [21:55] pref 64 bit though [21:55] if fdisk -l tells me a device is sda (when i run fdisk on the cd).. is it then that i can be sure that it also is sda for my usual system? (both, cd and installed OS are hardy) [21:56] ? [21:56] gwp: uhm... I'm lost here. too many sentences and ... =) [21:56] <_CrashMaster_> Maaatin: Any chance you could clarify the question? [21:56] gwp: so you are using what now [21:57] a kubuntu live CD? [21:57] not either really since I cant get them to install, the console i am on is from the ubuntu live cd, so its not even installed [21:57] 32 bit one? [21:57] yeah the 32 bit one [21:57] ugh, finally =) [21:57] I understawnd [21:57] sorry [21:58] gwp: in the terminal, run "wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.12/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run" [21:58] that's the official nvidia driver [21:58] _CrashMaster_: i use the live-cd to use the command 'fdisk -l' .... and from that i know which of my discs is sda. [21:59] gwp: it will build and install the driver, configure xorg for it, and load the module, so that X can start [21:59] is there any possibility that the result is another one than the one the installed OS would give me? [21:59] because i need to know what to write in my menu.lst [21:59] gwp: I hope (not sure) that the live CD got enough tools to build the nvidia binary driver, but not sure [22:00] i hope so too [22:00] gwp: if that doesn't work, maybe the only option would be to grab the alternate install CD, install in text mode, and after installing install the nvidia drivers this way [22:00] After I get linux up and runing is it possible to upgrade to 64 bit Kubuntu? [22:00] sometimes making live CDs work can be hard in new boxes. I had that on mine. it didn't support my motherboard's pci properly [22:00] gwp: no, you need to install 64bit one first =( [22:00] so its downloaded and saved, what next? [22:01] gwp: chmod a+x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run [22:01] and ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run [22:01] <_CrashMaster_> Maaatin: Not sure. fdisk lists sda for me, but grub is using (hd0,0) [22:01] that will make it executable and run the configuration tool [22:02] whats the default root password from installer [22:02] gwp: none, iirc [22:02] <_CrashMaster_> there isnt one [22:02] gwp: type sudo su [22:02] and no passwd will be asked [22:02] there's no root enabled [22:03] yeah no worky [22:03] no compiler? =( [22:03] so I'll go with the other option and redownload [22:03] yes [22:03] no kernal [22:03] i'm having problems with my sound.. when i start up the system it works fine, but a fre minutes later both amarok and kaffeine complain that "xine was unable to initialise any audio drivers" and "all audo drivers failed to initialise" respectively. restarting x fixed it for a little while, but not permanantly. any ideas? [22:03] gwp: try the kubuntu alternate CD [22:03] !alternate [22:03] The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Kubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/8.04/kubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [22:03] i'm running ubuntu gutsy [22:04] gwp: or the 64bit one too, if you prefer it [22:04] how can i do root? [22:04] <_CrashMaster_> ferhat: sudo [22:04] but in file browser. [22:05] hm.. my grub doesn't show any older kernels [22:05] ferhat: kdesu dolphin [22:05] can i still try to use an older kernel? [22:05] ok thanks. [22:05] <_CrashMaster_> ferhat: kdesudo [22:05] or are they deleted? [22:06] Maaatin: if they are installed, yes, you can press "e" and edit the entries [22:06] tab completion works in grub [22:06] ok [22:07] wish me luck. [22:08] lots of shit =) [22:08] as artists say ;) [22:08] sweet i'll have it in less than an hour [22:09] gwp: I downloaded the last version in under 10mins at work ;) [22:09] bad ass [22:09] heh [22:10] it's faster to go to workplace by car, download and come back, than downloading at home ;P [22:10] I wish I had a connection like that here, it 16meg FiOS [22:10] lol yeah [22:10] 23m now [22:10] ust warming up [22:11] just* [22:11] gwp: it was downloading at 1MiB/s steady [22:11] yeah this is anything but steady, did you torrent it or download from their site? [22:11] no, from a mirror [22:11] gwp: where are you located? [22:12] Dallas Texas [22:12] and which one is finally the one you are downloading? 64 or 32? [22:12] 64 [22:12] ok a sec [22:13] i may download 32 as well as I havnt yet tested 64 on my pc yet [22:13] If my windows were stable on my pc id get it a lot faster, these speeds are over wireless [22:14] gwp: http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/hardy/kubuntu-8.04-alternate-amd64.iso [22:14] sorry, I dont' know which university is closest to Texas.

[22:16] hey guys [22:16] how do i do an encrypted partition for kde4? [22:16] hello! [22:16] Nope none, ctrl+alt+esc, ctrl+Fx.. oh wait super+tab works.. [22:16] i've a big problem! [22:17] Azzco: I wonder if you switched keyboard shortcuts [22:17] wow I am at 12 min 40 secs with that link you gave me [22:17] to make the shaddows and transparency effects work i installed xgl. i don't want to use compiz, just xgl [22:17] on my main pc [22:17] uga: nope.. it's the default for 4 modifier keys [22:17] for all how don't know which effects i mean; you can find them in "System settings"->"Window behaviour"->"Transparency" [22:18] Azzco: does kcontrol->regional & accessibility->keyboard shortcuts show the shortcuts you expect? [22:18] uga: yeah, it's the default [22:18] ok, this works VERY nice, the first thing that worked without big problems as far as i changed my os to linux... on the first view [22:18] now i can't play 3D-Games or look videos [22:18] Azzco: uhm, I'd say file a bug then =( [22:18] thats BAD. [22:19] does anyone know how to fix that problem? or is there a workaround? === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [22:20] jonathan__: I hardly understand your problem. Did you enable desktop effects in systemsettings(/kcontrol) and got lower performance? [22:21] no sorry [22:21] i installed xgl in adept. [22:21] ugh, xgl??? [22:22] now i can't play 3d games or look videos [22:22] does anybody still use that? [22:22] ugh, yes... [22:22] jonathan__: What kind of graphics hardware do you have? [22:22] what should i use indeed? [22:22] ati [22:22] jonathan__: xorg [22:22] of course ati causes trouble :D [22:22] yes i'm using xorg [22:22] or used? [22:22] jonathan__: xgl is an alternative to xorg [22:22] xgl != xorg [22:22] i thought xgl sends the opengl-output to the xserver [22:23] something like an extension for xorg [22:23] jonathan__: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [22:23] i tried xgl because you cant use the shaddows and transparency effects in xorg [22:23] nonono [22:23] no binary drivers :D [22:24] Azzco: doesn't ati support aiglx? [22:24] jonathan__: then you're fucked up [22:24] uga: language please === madik is now known as malt0r [22:24] i tried already 2 weeks to install them and know i'm lucky i just got the free drivers working... [22:24] uga: don't know I think it should be stated in my link.. [22:24] stdin: screwed is okay or does it still sond harsh? [22:24] sorry not know - now [22:24] bad thing with ati [22:25] uga: that's ok, just not the 'f' word please [22:25] I set up my sound following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto and while it works now, I have to have all the sound controls at 100% (in alsamixer and amarok) just to hear my music . . . I added the line specified here as well: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=389560 [22:25] hm and what about the aiglx? [22:26] Specifically, I have to set Master, HeadPhon, PCM, and Front all to 100% in alsamixer [22:26] I'vew got all my stuff at nearly 100% also aaron [22:26] i already searched for the aiglx in adept but didn't find it... [22:26] jonathan__: afaik the new ati drivers do aiglx fine, but afaik later cards got no opensource working drivers for 3d [22:26] hm [22:27] I don't use ati though [22:27] so maybe I'm wrong [22:27] me niether, nvidia all the way [22:27] However, after going to 8.04, I now have 6 channel sound available. Probably lucky to have just stereo in 7.10 [22:27] billyd: maybe running pulseaudio? [22:28] Not that I know of - just ALSA stuff [22:28] nah sorry then it'd be visible in alsamixer.. [22:29] ok i've seen that aiglx is already integrated in the normal xorg [22:29] but why can't i use this discribed "real transparence"? [22:31] is there a noticeable pc speed increase going from 32 bit linux to 64? [22:31] I've got some UTF-8 characters that I use frequently. I just keep Kate open, and copy-paste them when I need to. I'd like to assign them to various keys on the keyboard, though, probably with the WIN key. For example, WIN+A would paste a special character into whatever I'm doing. Is there a way to do this? [22:32] gwp: I don't think you'll notice much [22:32] gwp: Agreed [22:32] not many apps will do good use of 64 bits yet [22:32] gwp: maybe highly especialised new apps [22:32] Databases maybe [22:32] gwp: one advantage is that a single app is able to use 4Gig RAM altogether [22:33] with 32bit you can't [22:33] nice as i have that much ram [22:33] it's divided between userspace and kernelspace [22:33] gwp: here too [22:34] What do I need for Phonon?

[23:31] gnomefreak: http://paste2.org/p/28682 [23:32] aaroncampbell: ok maybe it was pulled back due to a broken depend [23:32] <_CrashMaster_> Crusader370: Means that Windows left a flag on your HD saying it didn't properly close the filesystem [23:32] <_CrashMaster_> Crusader370: just force the mount, it should work. [23:32] Alternately, the key might be the [23:32] pair (IP-subnet-number, hostname), allowing the server to assign [23:32] parameters intelligently to a DHCP client that has been moved to a [23:32] different subnet or has changed hardware addresses [23:32] * gnomefreak wonders why i didnt hear about this yet [23:32] heh, I was wrong [23:32] aaroncampbell: give me a minute [23:32] it can be used as IP,host pairs =) [23:33] how did I miss that earlier [23:33] aaroncampbell: could you install anything else?

[23:52] jhutchins: However, I only needed libtotem-plparser10 for python-gnome2-desktop which allows meld to have line numbers... not worth it [23:52] <_CrashMaster_> Crusader370: But its important to have hardware that is functional. otherwise you end up going in circles [23:52] aaroncampbell: did it work? Hawkeye-X you too? [23:53] bfrog: the fn keys are hardware based, i do believe [23:53] bfrog: Not listed for hotkeys, but there may be a way. Time for Google!

Here are the System Log Lines: http://paste2.org/p/28662 [23:57] Hawkeye-X: when it pops up the blue screen choose kdm [23:57] jhutchins; fresh install, so no [23:57] i did. hmm [23:57] aaroncampbell: You can fix it, but it's probably just easier to figure out what device it's creating and mount it manually. [23:57] lemme reboot.. brb [23:58] jhutchins: My wife uses it all the time... I'd like it to offer her the options again [23:58] jhutchins_wk: Sorry, wrong username...you have a lot of accounts on right now :) [23:59] NP. My own fault, I know. [23:59] aaroncampbell: Make a script button that mounts it. [23:59] jhutchins_wk: is there a place that will tell me how to fix it right?
