Also see !patience [00:26] i am having truble getting my mic working in kubuntu [00:26] i use alsamixer but I can not set the capture flag (no channels have the red CAPTURE under it [00:27] does kubuntu support logical partitions? [00:27] ubuntu_: yes [00:27] what about extended? [00:27] ubuntu_, the Linux kernel supports logical partitions [00:27] you can't have logical partitions without an extended partition [00:28] ubuntu_: yes that too [00:28] p_quarles: eh? I thought the first 4 were logical. [00:28] nosrednaekim, the what? [00:29] why is it in the prepare partition editor does not show up as extended or logical? [00:29] a logical partition reside inside of the "extended" physical partition of the drive [00:29] I know [00:29] the latest amarok-nightly build won't install in kubuntu. the amarok nightly package seems to conflict with the amarok-nightly tools package. Is anyone else having this problem? [00:29] what doesn't show up that way, ubuntu_? [00:30] You can have a maximum of 4 primary partitions (for the MBR). You can create an extended partition from a primary partition, which can contain multiple logical partitions. [00:30] in the prepare partition does not show up as extended [00:30] when I did that in parted magic [00:31] ubuntu_, again *what* doesn't show up as extended? [00:31] Hi, does anybody know how to go back to the default kdm theme in kubuntu hardy, I've been playing around with the settings and now i can't go back to default behaviour ?? [00:31] the partitions that I made that are extended on my hard drive [00:31] Therpandrus: reinstall kubuntu-default-settings [00:31] it shows up just not as extended [00:32] nosrednaekim: thanks, i'll try that [00:33] why is that? [00:33] ubuntu_, because the partition editor isn't displaying it [00:33] that's an effect of whatever editor you're using, and nothing to do with Kubuntu, the hard drive itself, or Linux [00:34] so if I just tell it to mount it on what I want it too and say do not format I should be good right [00:34] ubuntu_, yes [00:34] just making sure [00:34] thats what I did in debian and it worked [00:35] ubuntu_, at the filesystem level there's almost never any difference between distros [00:35] but it should up as logical in debian 4 [00:36] if someone here has the ISO of the alternate install CD of kubuntu with them could they tell me what the names of the files are called in the isolinux dir in the ISO [00:36] ubuntu_, keep in mind that these are more or less just arbitrary names given to represent hard drive usage in human readable form -- the terms are less important than the meanings behind them [00:37] I know I have to used an extended partition because I am using more than four partitions [00:37] hello room [00:37] an extended is not limited to that [00:38] Therpandrus: there is a reset option i found [00:38] it is limited to 24 partitions [00:38] but I am not going to use that many [00:38] thats too many partitions [00:39] Therpandrus: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [00:40] I want to set up a task using KCron.

[01:02] DreadKnight: not sure if KDE 4 has support for dual monitors already [01:02] manual xorg.conf editing ftw >_< [01:03] Jucato: don't see anything related in 4.0.4 [01:03] Hej: does it by default IIRC... I didn't install hardy, but if its like gutsy(probably is) there is a "adavnced" button on the last page of the installer [01:04] ok [01:04] Hej: there, you can configure what disc to put grub on [01:04] ok [01:04] I would have expected as much, but did not see any options when I installed [01:04] DreadKnight: i dont think you need an extra cable for such things...if you want the one desktop to be on you lappy and the other one via the output then you just haveto set the other desktop to view to the external monitor [01:05] is there any UI based setup on the live DVD I can use, rather than installing yet again?

[01:09] Randuni: this used to happen way back in the kde4 alpha... heh [01:10] I don't see any errors in the log files either, which is why this is hard to track down [01:10] heh [01:10] Randuni: your using kde3 right? [01:10] yes [01:10] kde 3.5.9 [01:10] no kde4 installed at all? [01:10] nope [01:11] and I dont't see a whole lot in kdm.log [01:11] or Xorg.0.log [01:11] are you sure it posts to the kdm log? [01:12] there is no other alternative log for it ? [01:12] no [01:12] but I would think it would post there, would it not? [01:12] have you managed to do a cli log in ? [01:12] yes [01:12] I can login via the cli no problem [01:12] wait..maybe I know [01:13] I did recently shrink that partition down to the smallest it could go [01:13] thanks for the help dru :-) [01:13] * DreadKnight back to movie / sleep [01:13] did it work ? [01:13] would that cause a prob?..maybe it's out of disk space or something? [01:13] yes it did [01:13] (time will tell) [01:13] heh [01:13] I now have Fedora Core 9 and Kubuntu 8.04 and Windows Xp installed [01:14] Randuni: yes! [01:14] now, I believe that Fedora Core 9 and Kubuntu are sharing the swap partition [01:14] Randuni: kde gets damn problematic if you're running out of space.. [01:14] right...hmm... [01:14] oh [01:14] thats umm i dont know [01:14] I may have to enlarge the partition again [01:14] Randuni: its not just about the swap, you need space for settings and such.. [01:14] right [01:14] I probablly made the partition too small [01:15] you can deal it to about 3 gb with some swap [01:15] it's just odd, cause I checked through all the log files and don't see any errors [01:15] *default install [01:15] i once downloaded too much stuff.. and ran out of space.. after a restart i couldn't even get kubuntu to boot... [01:15] okay..I should've thought of that..cause this problem cropped up only after I shrunk the partition [01:16] yeah do you have a live disk ? can you check your partitons with the df command?

[01:21] azzco: erm.. i recall it used the mic... so try redirecting or something xD [01:22] you could try it out if you have a mic at your dispossal [01:22] DreadKnight: You don't know how to configure pulseaudio do you?

[01:25] as good that is [01:25] pidgin is the gnome variancy of kopete [01:25] dru: latest pidgin i think supports receiving files over jahoo from most versions, pidgin is very nice looking; no webcam whatsoever at all.. [01:25] it's odd, I wonder why the developers are so stubborn?

[01:27] qt is proprietary? >_< [01:28] qt?..It's open source [01:28] hmm [01:28] I believe it used to be proprietary [01:28] DreadKnight: It is dual-licensed. [01:28] dual licensed for sure [01:29] they require $ for proprietary apps (or commercial ones) [01:29] something like that [01:29] yeh [01:29] I prefer KDE over GNOME [01:29] I stared with KDE....Mandrake 6.0 [01:29] They put an interesting twist to prevent you from freeloading, making your app with the open source version and buying the commercial one just before releasing. [01:29] me too; kde is too much on the open edge atm >_< [01:29] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwnlRATD3Jk LOL [01:29] started out with ubuntu (gnome) [01:30] Azmodan: im not sure i quite understand what you mean , would you just decrypt it with the key , import export? [01:30] Azmodan: lol [01:30] The QT commercial license says that if you ever worked on an app with the open source version, they refuse to sell you the commercial one. [01:30] That way you have to pay for the whole development time if you want your app to be commercial. [01:30] erm xD [01:30] nice Fujiscan [01:31] Chocolate Rain!

Some output here: http://pastebin.com/m481f446f [01:59] I don' t know if I have ntfs file system errors, the sound files are just bad, or what. === batllosera is now known as salinu [02:09] hi, im having a problem with playback in Ardour, when i record it shows the "waveform" (i think thats what it is) and everything, so i know its actually recoding it, but it looks weird, http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/9007/snapshot37cu7.png like that, and when i try to play it back i get no sound, even if i export it and try to play in something else. whats wrong here, and why does the "waveform" look like that? the grey and red [02:10] agent bob you here? [02:11] If I want to install kubuntu and windows XP (dual-boot), which should I install first? [02:12] windows [02:12] That's what I thought. It has been a while since I have tried this. [02:12] Would you use the full HDD or a partition for the first install? Would it matter? [02:13] I want to install both to the same HDD [02:13] Because for Kubuntu, I know that the swap file changes sizes depending on the size of the install, but what about Windows? [02:15] I thought kubuntu used a swap partition while windows uses a swap file [02:16] Windows does use a swap file, but they provide the same function, I believe. I'm just wondering if that swap file ever changes. [02:17] by default most distros use a swap *partition*, which doesn't change size dynamically. setting up a swap file is more of an "advanced" task [02:18] Actually, for my install, I saw that the swap partition actually changed sizes depending on the size of the free partition I was using. [02:20] ah you mean the "guided partitioning" part of the installer? [02:20] Yeah, but I'm just asking if windows does the same. [02:21] that actually varies from installer to installer. Windows doesn't even make you set a swap at all [02:28] this might be an odd question, but can I turn off Dolphin? [02:28] I think you might be able to uninstall it. [02:29] Not sure. [02:29] Its a visual desktop enhanchment right? [02:30] No, it's just an alternate file manager [02:30] Konqueror is the main file manager, similar to IE. [02:31] er depends on which KDE version [02:31] ElecNinja, you mean you want to make Konqueror the default file manager again? [02:31] D3lphin (KDE 3) is an alternate file manager. Dolphin (KDE 4) is *the* file manager [02:31] (Konqueror being the alternate) [02:32] Didn't know about changes in KDE 4. And this is to answer nflava. [02:32] maybe dolphin is not my problem [02:32] nflava: what KDE version? [02:32] newest [02:32] just installed saturday [02:32] my problem is... [02:32] um.. "newest" doesn't tell me anything [02:32] Hardy has both KDE 3.5.9 and KDE 4.0.3 [02:33] ah [02:33] let me try to look [02:33] yea users choice [02:34] what would be the best way to find that out [02:34] im looking but not sure where to go [02:35] I think I turned on grahpic enhancements for my desktop but my vid card cant run it smooth so my title bar is not working properly? [02:35] nflava: simple (but unreliable) way.. is your bottom panel black? [02:35] with big icons [02:35] no [02:35] white [02:35] KDE 3 then :) [02:35] if you right-click on it, can you select -> Help -> About KDE? [02:36] heh i should have thought of htat [02:36] 3.5.9 [02:36] yep. you can change D3lphin, but may not be related to your problem atall [02:37] ill leave it, and about my title bar, it has no min, max, exit buttons in the upper right and i cant click on a title bar to move the window, it just stays where it is [02:39] running Compiz right? (Desktop Effects) [02:41] maybe thats what it is, i guess i need to turn that off === jimmy__ is now known as jsolis [02:41] or you can try asking for help in #compiz-fusion [02:41] nah I just want whatever is simpilest for now [02:41] hm bad spelling on that one === bittin_ is now known as bittin [02:45] hello [02:45] Hi rogermorris [02:46] i am new to ubuntu [02:49] anyone know why my flash wouldn't be working ? [02:50] im using kubuntu hardy [02:50] <_CrashMaster_> define "not working" [02:50] <_CrashMaster_> errors? [02:50] flash videos are telling me to download the latest flash player [02:51] <_CrashMaster_> I had the same issue [02:51] <_CrashMaster_> I had to go to adobe.com and download. [02:51] <_CrashMaster_> using ff3? [02:51] yup [02:52] <_CrashMaster_> Yeah, the web based installer for flash doesnt work in ff3 [02:52] <_CrashMaster_> go to adobe.com and download / install from there [02:54] is any other ideas Jucato [02:55] hello [02:55] recently i've been having problems with my sound drivers; like if firefox is open,amarok wont work. now when i try to run amarok it says it coudlnt initialize the xine engine [02:59] are you using amd64 crashmaster ? [02:59] <_CrashMaster_> makaveli: Nope. [02:59] <_CrashMaster_> I think this thing is an older Pentium M [03:02] did you get a whole bunch of dependency requirements when you tried to install the adobe package ? [03:03] <_CrashMaster_> makaveli: I honestly don't recall [03:03] !flash64 [03:03] You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [03:04] Is it just that the sound won't work for both at once? [03:07] I was trying to install GNOME so I could mess with a few things, but when I try, I get this: Depends: gnome-keyring-manager (>=2.20.0) but it is not installable [03:09] well [03:09] I reinstalled yet again [03:09] I noticed that during the install, there was a blurb about grub [03:10] but I didn't get to choose any options [03:10] in the end, I swapped my drives so that the drive I installed to was sda instead of sdb [03:10] and it worked [03:11] now I'm just left configuring grub so that I can boot my Vista partition as well [03:11] but anyways, seems like maybe there is a slight bug when trying to install to something other than hda/sda [03:11] (if anybody cares) [03:15] btw, would I be advised not to try to mount my fat32 raid1 array that I have setup from Vista? [03:24] hej: a FAT32 raid1 array?!? [03:24] please tell me more about that === anonymous__ is now known as Rixon [03:31] szakulec: yes. I have a pair of drives mirrored, and formatted in fat32. [03:31] I'm not sure what you want me to elaborate on [03:33] I've just never heard of fat32 and raid together [03:33] I would think it's fairly common [03:34] i used to run fat32 raids [03:34] I guess you're using Raid 1 to get around the poor journaling capabilities of FAT32? [03:34] it's my main data store, and I wanted to insure that I could view the data from a non-MS os [03:34] I'm using raid 1 to avoid losing all of my data if a drive bites the dust [03:35] and my timing was pretty good [03:35] within a week or so of moving all my data to this array [03:35] the non-redundant drive I had it stored on died [03:35] I believe it should work as long as you have RAID set up (I don't have any experience in working with RAID) [03:35] although I should inform you that NTFS read/writing is very solid and reliable now [03:36] hmm [03:36] that is good to hear [03:36] though I'm not going to reformat those drives at this point === sjck_ is now known as sjck [03:36] obviously [03:36] but do check out NTFS-3G at some point so you can see if it's right for you [03:36] is anybody here fairly proficient with grub? [03:37] I need to add my Vista installation on sda2 to my list of boot choices [03:42] hej, is it on the first partition of sda2? [03:42] it is on the second partition of sda [03:42] kubuntu is on sda1 [03:43] hej: hej [03:43] I'm not swedish [03:43] the nick is coicidental [03:43] I also do not understand any swedish, aside from "hej" [03:43] haha ok iam a swede :D [03:43] bittin: hello [03:44] yes, I figured you were [03:44] haha ok [03:44] I always found it quite interesting how much friendly and more excited swedes are on irc [03:44] friendlier [03:45] haha to bad iam not master off grub then :( [03:45] me either [03:45] hej: do you have something that's not working or are you trying to add it fresh [03:45] ketrei: the kubuntu installation never gave me any options for configuring grub [03:46] and as it is, the default setup did not include anything but my kubuntu partition [03:46] If I understand your drive layout, try this [03:46] title Vista [03:46] rootnoverify (hd0,1) [03:46] makeactive [03:46] chainloader +1 [03:46] so I need to add an entry [03:46] ok [03:46] (there's a tab between Title and vista) [03:46] yes that is probably accurate [03:46] yeah, I just needed the general commands [03:46] thanks [03:46] I can do that from the grub command prompt, or just add that directly to a config file [03:48] it gets more complicated when the OSes are on different drives, but that hopefully will work since they're on the same drive [03:48] yeah I've tried in the past to boot secondary drives [03:48] I can't remember if I ever got it to work or not, that was ages ago [03:48] !grub [03:48] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:55] hello [03:55] what ups [03:56] is kde still going to support the older versions cause there are some things that I do not like about the new kde 4 version [03:56] like the layout for system settings [03:56] I like the old layout better [03:56] for kcontrol [03:57] is their a way to change it to the old look [03:57] like this http://www.tuxmachines.org/images/ultimalive/kcontrol.jpg [03:58] it is one of the only things that bothers me with the new version [04:06] ? [04:07] ubuntu_: kde4 is imho not usable ... use kde3 for now [04:08] is kde still supporting older version? [04:08] or are they just going to support kde 4 now [04:09] for updates and what not [04:09] kde4 is far away form being stabe ... so yes kde3 is still supported for a while ... [04:09] ubuntu_: there's talk of a 3.5.10 release soon. [04:10] se7en: actually that's not entirely true [04:10] cool [04:10] as far as KDE is concerned. KDE 4 is the stable release (but not complete, 2 different things), while KDE 3 is a sort of legacy release [04:10] kde4 is stable [04:10] there may or may not be future maintenance releases for KDE 3. nothing's definite [04:11] I like kde4 [04:11] their are just some things that I do not like about it [04:11] I like the widgets [04:12] like i said will be supported for a while ... [04:12] and the oxygen theme [04:13] like domino for theme too [04:13] last time i checked it was bearly usable but this is also a while ago ... might have changed ... but i need my box to work [04:13] ask the domino guy to port it to KDE 4 [04:13] (but oxygen is lovely :P) [04:13] se7en: you know you can have both KDE 3 and KDE 4 installed right? :) [04:14] Jucato: yes i know ... thanks [04:14] domino, crystal cursor, crystal icons project, kwin windows decorations = bad a@# machine [04:14] (ew.. crystal...) [04:15] crystal kicks but [04:15] butt [04:15] oh well.. art is the hardest thing to "standardize". to each his own [04:15] crystal cursor is cool I like the blue theme [04:16] thats what linux is all about being able to modifty it to ones own need or likeness [04:18] theses are the icons I am talking about so not to confuse with other icons http://www.everaldo.com/crystal/?action=downloads [04:18] domino has a port for kde4 [04:21] o wait no domino port must be confused with another project [04:22] it any ones interested I translated this login theme to english http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Cybertron-login?content=30553 [04:23] I haven't uploaded it yet thought [04:23] I think I should ask the author first [04:25] the preview will still be in portuguese [04:25] though [04:25] just the login screen with be in english [04:26] it is easy to do though I just edited the config files for the login theme [04:28] can anyone point me to a resource that tutorials an installation of a scanner (in 8.04 preferably)? i have a hp scanjet 3670, if it makes any difference. [04:29] ubuntu_: do it yourself all you have to do is edit the .xml file and change the italian words to english or whaterver ... [04:30] thats what I did [04:30] it was in portuguese [04:30] so ... [04:31] I brought it up to see if any one was interested in me uploading the translated version that I translated [04:31] oh ok [04:31] kde control center keyboard settings show repeat on, ive done "xset r on", and i still have no keyboard repeat. what can i try next? [04:31] scanner tutorial t any ones interested I translated this login theme to english http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Cybertron-login?content=30553 [04:32] whoops [04:32] http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialScanners.html === kewark is now known as krawek [04:36] shaffy: they might have some info on scanners at http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/Main_Page here is a tutorial for scanners with linux [04:36] http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialScanners.html [04:37] quick question, i just installed the hibernation script, and i want to make it so any user can run it w/o roots password, how can i allow this? [04:38] reinstall it with fakeroot makebe [04:38] maybe [04:38] that might do it [04:38] ubuntu_: you talkin 2 me? [04:38] yeah [04:39] I installed Kubuntu 7.04 and have upgraded to 8.04 now, in thte beginning the system ran like lightening now it is sloooooowwwwww, any reported problems [04:39] ubuntu_: i was kinda hoping for a way just to allow a single program to launch w/ root privlages w/o having to give it roots password [04:39] I messed up KDE4 because I changed settings for graphics that my card can't handle. How can i change this setting back fomr kde3? [04:39] or, I enabeld them rather [04:39] I have no idea [04:40] how do i add more than one time zone to system clock in kde4 kubuntu 8.04? [04:40] !clock [04:40] Factoid clock not found [04:40] chuckfu: Do you have top installed? [04:41] don't think so, if so I did not install it on purpose [04:41] top is a little command line program that will list all currently running processes and show you what is using resources [04:41] top should be installed [04:41] how would I start and use it [04:42] open Konsole [04:42] then just type the word top [04:42] just type in top and press enter [04:42] slooooooowwww going there [04:43] ok got it [04:43] there is a column that says PU and another that says %MEM, it should show you in there what is eating all your resources [04:43] PU [04:43] process id [04:43] heh, I was trying to say percent CPU [04:43] my IRC fu is weak [04:44] PID [04:44] got you [04:44] how do i add more than one time zone to system clock in kde4 kubuntu 8.04? [04:44] root pull 22% sometimes [04:45] what about MEM? [04:45] I don't think you can add more than one time zone [04:45] around 3.7 [04:45] you may have a problem where a process is eating all your RAM and you're swapping all the time [04:46] how do I fix that [04:46] kill [04:46] when I type here it goes to 59% [04:46] well, for root I wouldn't recommend killing it [04:46] root that is [04:46] kill processidhere [04:46] Oh, does anyone know if it'll be possible to use kmenu in KDE 4? [04:46] yes [04:47] right click add [04:47] ElecNinja: [04:47] on the panel [04:48] It's okay, I'm just wondering if it's possible.

[04:50] ChuckFu, what kind of video acceleration do you have? [04:51] where do I go to find that out [04:51] ElecNinja: yes it is possible [04:52] ElecNinja: you add the applet to the panel then remove the other applet so that you just have kmenu [04:52] ey i have a problem but i don't have a good english, so i hope that one kubuntuser can help me in spanish please [04:53] no conpreday [04:53] !es [04:53] Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [04:53] I messed up KDE4 because I enabled settings for graphics that my card can't handle. How can i change this setting back fomr kde3? [04:53] mi fari esperanto [04:54] ChuckFu, go to Hardware Drivers and see if you have a restricted video card [04:54] ok si planteo mi problema en ingles me podrán auxiliar supongo vd? [04:55] mi paroli Esperanto [04:55] ChuckFu, Hardware Drivers is under System [04:55] fari vi paroli Esperanto? [04:56] which is tje main difference betwen compiz engine and compiz KDE??? [04:56] ? [04:56] no cule [04:56] blues clues [04:57] Thakns ubuntu_ [04:57] you are welcome [04:57] compiz engine was written primarily for Gnome, whereas the compiz KDE is designed to work a little better for KDE [04:59] ChuckFu, you still there? [04:59] yes still looking [04:59] ElecNinja: you might want to drag the icon to where you want it because when I add the applet in kde4 it added it at the end and I was not able to move it like you can in kde 3 [05:00] ChuckFu, another way is to just type lcpci in Konsole and find your video hardware in there [05:00] lspci [05:00] sorry [05:00] it is just soooooo slow [05:00] no worries [05:01] thanks for the URLs ubuntu. [05:01] ubuntu>: Wow, that's pretty odd. Thanks for the tip. Though I'm not going to use KDE 4 for quite a while. [05:01] :) [05:01] ChuckFu: maybe someone hacked into your system and is using it as a pr0n node [05:01] that's not far fetched either [05:01] strong passwords are a must [05:01] hahahah not funny lol [05:02] ChuckFu: if they are, i have first dibs on any good stuff [05:02] ChuckFu: you can use tools like tiger, chkrookit, rkhunter, and systraq to check if someone has [05:02] says command not found [05:02] lspci? [05:02] lspci | grep -i vga [05:03] grep is a cool command [05:03] so is wget [05:03] yes they are [05:04] A compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] rev 01 [05:04] the command line is fun when you get to be close friends with it [05:04] Radeon..... [05:04] it was working find until I upgraded to 8.04 [05:04] do you know if you tried enable AIGLIX? [05:05] no I have not tried that [05:05] sorry, fglrx [05:05] that's the 3d drivers for ATI cards [05:05] hay wait I may have tried [05:05] you could try mesa3d [05:06] by the look of things something is making X dog slow for you [05:06] ubuntu_: enough about that - he wants *actual* 3d performance. [05:06] !ati [05:06] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:06] since your processor isn't being eaten and you had plenty for free RAM [05:07] I don't need 3d how do I disable it [05:08] you're using KDE3? [05:08] https://launchpad.net/~madman2k/+archive if you want you could use mesa3d from here [05:08] I use it and [05:08] I am able to play 3d games [05:08] but it is not as good fglrx [05:09] but it's open source so if you prefer open source use mesa with the oss ati drivers [05:09] hummm still lookingg around [05:10] if you want, just go to the start menu, then up to system settings [05:10] when you get there go to monitor and display [05:10] click administrator mode [05:10] then go to the hardware tab [05:11] go the the Graphics card and click the configure button [05:12] ok lets try this for size [05:12] select the standard driver [05:12] another option that you have is to type sudo apt-get remove fglrx [05:13] then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:13] answer the questions and then ctrl-alt-backspace to restart X [05:13] that's more risky though if you don't do it right [05:14] I've borked my system before doing that [05:14] how is matrox for 3d acceleration [05:14] fine if you don't want to play a lot of really 3d intensive games [05:15] about on par with intel graphics [05:16] I hope ChuckFu is ok, I would hate to sour him on linux if he's new to it [05:18] I will say that I had more trouble with my computer when I upgraded, so a clean install did the trick [05:19] oop, if he comes back I'm away for a few [05:26] shhh everyone the baby is sleeping [05:27] ok ... [05:27] joke, not too much going on right at the minute === caubekid is now known as caubekid_ [05:28] Okay , I have a question. Why is it that in Kubuntu, all of my ram is used all the time? [05:28] buffers and cache [05:28] kde caches apps that you use [05:28] it's freed up as it's needed [05:28] as well as accounts [05:28] I see. [05:29] for instance log in when you first start the computer and it'll be slower than if you log out and log back in [05:29] Yeah. [05:30] Okay, next question. Though this is probably due to the nature of the transfer. Whenever I trasfer a large size folder or a number of large sized folders, in the Gigabyte range, my comp slows down quite a bit. [05:30] Using dolphin [05:30] Not sure about konqueror. [05:30] what filesystems are you transferring to and from? [05:31] also, when you do that it increases the random access of the hdd which will slow it down [05:31] fuse also requires a good bit of resources sometimes [05:31] It's usually an ext3 partition on my comp to an external HDD of the same fs === pascalFR is now known as PascalFR [05:32] it's probably the system negotiating with USB and also as I said a minute ago your random reads increase [05:32] those make hdd access slower [05:34] I see, but it's the whole computer that gets affected. Not just the speed of transfer. It's that when switching to another program, it takes more than ten times as long as it usually would. === narg_ is now known as narg [05:34] well when you transfer via USB it has to go through the RAM instead of riding the system bus [05:35] hola [05:35] como estan [05:35] Ah [05:35] all that data goes into the RAM then into the drive [05:35] I see. [05:35] hola [05:35] que mas [05:36] keep shooting I'll be here till the baby is good and asleep [05:36] hola jose. [05:36] how to hide small icon beside the application names on kmenu?anyone knows? [05:36] all of them? [05:37] charles__ if you are asking me,the answer is yes [05:37] not something that I've done before, but if you right click on the Big K and go to Menu Editor it may be in there [05:37] :s [05:37] It isn't [05:38] nope, I just looked [05:38] another way is to delete the icons from their directory, but I can't remember where that is off hand [05:39] owh. [05:40] Hi [05:40] SOS......SOS [05:41] I need help [05:41] well spill it! [05:42] crashhandler: KDE does have a central directory where all the icons are stored [05:43] I could not find Kubuntu in my country..in sale..I have low speed connection-dial-up...however, I need Kubuntu..what to do))) [05:43] ic...and what is 'show side image' in kde panel configuration? [05:43] I think that they can send it to you via mail [05:43] Danger_XXX: bittorrent [05:43] he had dial up flaccid, it would take weeks [05:44] nothing change in my menu whether i tick 'show side image' or not [05:44] it is located inside kde panel>menu [05:44] charles__: what other options are there [05:44] crashhandler, dunno I'm new to KDE more of an old school motif, Gnome guy [05:45] bittorrent unfortunately doesnt have needed speed [05:45] Danger_XXX: buy it outside of your country [05:45] or wait for shipit [05:45] !shipit [05:45] shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org - Shipit will send Hardy (8.04) CDs [05:45] flaccid, you can order them via mail I believe. Another way is to go to distrowatch.org there is a link there somewhere to have them make and send you distros [05:46] ubottu big thanks...i'll try [05:46] Danger_XXX: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:46] yeah well lots of sources around the world to mail order it [05:47] by the way last year I said to my friend to buy Ubuntu in US but he could not find it in sale [05:48] Danger, heh they don't really sell it. You can sell it, but I've never seen it for sale [05:48] Danger if you have a friend that visits the states again and you want him to grab linux distros [05:49] just have him find the linux user group in that city and they'll be all to happy to help him out [05:49] :D [05:49] ok charles__ [05:49] but as the bot said ShipIt and http://distrowatch.org should be able to help [05:50] http://www.osdisc.com [05:50] you can buy them worldwide there [05:51] thanks [05:51] no problem [05:51] happy to help [05:51] Any questions about it before you install? [05:59] I have installed UBUNTU , problem was in creating unix type partitions [05:59] I had window preinstalled [06:00] ahhh, and you wanted to partition up the drive? [06:00] yeah [06:00] it's usually pretty painless Gparted handles it pretty well [06:00] what kind of trouble did you have? [06:02] for instance I have C and D local drives..how to convert C to unix partition? [06:02] the whole drive? [06:02] yes [06:02] in windows format the drive === brad_ is now known as some_dude [06:03] then when you boot into the live cd and you get to the partition editor [06:03] you go to manual and choose that disk to be formatted, then set its mount point to / [06:06] is there any third part aplication through which we can manage both Windows and Unix partitions? [06:07] there is a Gparted live cd that can do that [06:07] the live cd in ubuntu can do it as well in manual mode [06:08] is it free? I mean Gparted live cd [06:08] qtparted is fine, no? [06:08] yes it's free [06:08] qtparted is pretty much the same [06:08] yeah [06:08] Gparted is built on GTK and Qtpared is built on the QT libs [06:09] since we are in kubuntu here and not ubuntu.. [06:09] ah but he is on ubuntu heh [06:11] yep [06:11] not that it really matters though [06:11] they both work well with eachother these days [06:13] hey [06:13] sorry don't want to bug you [06:13] :) [06:13] heheh [06:13] * NightBird bugs dojonet__ [06:13] * NightBird retargets his bugging to target dontbugme [06:14] * NightBird also shakes his fist at tab autocomplete [06:14] * dontbugme was bugged once and switched to this handle [06:14] hehe [06:14] like someone filed a bug report? [06:14] hey everyone. i'm trying to resize (shrink) an ext3 partition using parted but it tells me that an incompatible feature is enabled. dumpe2fs list these features enabled: has_journal resize_inode dir_index filetype sparse_super large_file. anyone know how to go about this? [06:15] * NightBird sleeps [06:15] night.... [06:20] crap....brb :(* [06:52] hey, what package is /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc in? i seem to have deleted mine. [06:53] what up [06:54] how do i install hardy kde4 remix on my Ubuntu hardy install? [06:55] if you have enough disc space you could split the partition and install it [06:55] I recommend using parted magic for partitioning your hard drive [06:55] dark: that's the most pointless idea ever, i'm sorry. [06:55] wers: 'sudo aptitude install kubuntu-kde4-desktop' will get you the KDE4 desktop [06:56] wers: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop [06:56] wers: then choose kde4 at login [06:56] that wont install kdm for me, right? [06:57] wers: it will, but it will ask if you want to use gdm or kdm [06:57] okay :) [06:57] Hey, I am trying to connect to both the internet across a usb wireless card and my external hardrive across an ethernet cable but the network mananger won"t let me connect to both at the same time. does anyone have any ideas of how i can do this? [06:58] are you guys using kde4 or is it still too unstable for you? :) [06:58] that is what i have [06:58] wers: personally, a little unstable for me, but #kubuntu-kde4 is a good place to discuss it [06:59] is firefox beta 3 using konquerors khtml? [06:59] um i don't think so [07:00] uh [07:00] what? [07:00] firefox has never used khtml [07:00] dark: Firefox always uses the Gecko engine. [07:00] Gecko/2008050509 Firefox/3.0b5 [07:00] o [07:01] why is it that the search buttons look just like the ones when I use konqueror [07:01] before it was not like that [07:02] dark: sounds like a Theme thing. Maybe it's using the Crystal theme. [07:02] ah, that's a new feature in ff3 [07:02] * BonesolTeraDyne only uses SeaMonkey [07:02] instead of its own "widgets" like buttons and such, it now uses native styles [07:02] dark: its in system settings i believe - whether gtk uses style from kde or not [07:03] flaccid: that's firefox's thing, not kde's, but it can be turned off in firefox if he chooses [07:03] thats what im saying [07:03] but the feature is not firefox' thing [07:04] it says that my theme is IceWeasel [07:04] it is, it's new in FF3 [07:04] which is what debian names firefox [07:04] im talking about gtk styles and fonts in system settings? [07:04] that probably happened becuase I just had debian installed with the /home being on it's own partition [07:05] dose any one know how to properly use the ln command, I have the man page open, but I honestly cannot figure out how to link two directories togather with ln -s, I have tried ln -s /path/to/target /path/to/link and also the opposite of that, neither work. [07:05] but now I am using kubuntu [07:05] i'm talking about FF's recent move to using native system styles on webpages rather than plain old boring buttons and dropdowns [07:05] o I see [07:05] I have alsa installed, but I still can't play audio from multiple programs at once, and any time flash gets ahold of my audio hardware I can't play audio until I reboot. How do I make sure my sound servers are running properly? [07:05] it was a move implemented in FF3 to improve the integrated look [07:05] that was possible before ff3 [07:06] but it's default in FF3, which is why people are noticing it now [07:06] I see [07:06] and is different in kde3 and kde4 however [07:06] yeah I am using kde3 [07:07] yep [07:07] so how do you go to system to system without problems when having home on it's own partition [07:07] I had a link for it but I have lost it [07:08] you might want to fix up /home ? [07:08] that's it [07:08] I like it so far all my themes are the same and my bookmarks are in firefox [07:09] so I do not have to waste time and put them all back [07:09] well what is the actual problem [07:10] nothing so far [07:10] ok, so put /home in fstab.. ? [07:10] it is [07:10] then what is the problem [07:11] how do I use ln?

After installing and evaluating xawtv I've decided to remove it because there is no way to set up channels except by providing the channel numbers manually. By mistake I've checked xawtv-libs also. But it uninstalled the whole X11 without any warning, including KDE and all the GUI apps. Looks like it is time to give up. Thanks to all who helped me there. I will try the next kubuntu release. Good bye. [09:34] Anyway thanks I take it most of those listed will still have windows drivers too? Or do I need to buy two? [09:34] erm, ok [09:34] too even [09:35] plassa: yeah they should have win32 drivers [09:36] flaccid: should i return back with generic drivers? where there was no problem? [09:36] Thanks again seeya [09:36] [18:33] petgrill: were you using dual displays? [09:36] [11:34] flaccid: no only in xp long time ago [09:37] oh that was for that [09:37] :P [09:37] do you need it? [09:37] not at the moment but yes in the future [09:38] well we will try without first [09:38] what should i do? [09:39] I am trying to install kubuntu and windows XP in a dual-boot configuration. I installed windows and it worked. Then I installed kubuntu and that worked. Then I tried to go back to windows and I got a blue screen on boot and the error message "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME". What can I do? [09:40] petgrill: backup the xorg.conf and the overwrite it with this one: http://pastebin.com/m60e91d97 then restart X server from kdm after logging out to test [09:41] flaccid: how do i backup? [09:41] petgrill: sudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [09:42] cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old [09:42] sorry: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [09:45] flaccid and how do i add your pastebin? it doesnt let me save [09:45] !pastebin | petgrill [09:45] petgrill: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[09:51] now if it doesn't work. you have to goto ctrl+alt+f1 and login and then sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:51] logout now to kdm and select restart x server from dropdown [09:54] is there a ppa for the latest (beta) nvidia drivers? [09:55] serenity: i havnt not seen one but the ones from nvidia site work fine [09:55] flaccid: they have a repo? [09:56] nah download the binary [09:56] ah [09:56] sry [09:56] the new update seem to be broken, they have been broken since yesterday [09:56] which is probably just as many steps as using a repos.. [10:00] flaccid: do i need to have any extra package, or just run the script from nvidias site? [10:01] or remove other packages, than the old driver? [10:01] serenity: need linux source/headers for your kernel version [10:01] afaik [10:01] remove nvidia driver if installed first ie. nvidia-glx/new/legacy [10:01] flaccid: it didn't worked i had to cp so i can get to login screen [10:02] flaccid: did so, nvidia-common also? [10:02] petgrill: try it again, but when the login screen doesn't come up. run more /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see the problem [10:03] flaccid: it just stuck i couldn't do anything [10:03] petgrill: press ctrl+alt+f1 to go back to the tty [10:04] flaccid: i did that but nothing [10:05] great [10:05] lets try a more simple one [10:05] flaccid: i will bring back vesa drivers [10:06] flaccid where was no problem [10:07] flaccid: thanks for the help :) [10:07] except you diddn't get the desired resolution and couldnt change it [10:07] petgrill: probably wrong modelines for your monitor: http://pastebin.com/m4ae8a4c6 [10:09] flaccid: i dont know but i am thinking never to buy ATI again... my 1st card burned and now i can't even have the compiz cube effect...(i get white cube of death) [10:10] im on ati atm on kde4 with desktop effects heh [10:11] well if people give up so easy then don't expect much === arkygeek_ is now known as Jazon [10:16] Nero is not burning the Kubuntu iso right. :( [10:16] kenshin: try InfraRecorder [10:16] I get file corruption error in the middle of the install.

I can switch settings, but not apply/save them? [11:15] (KDE4) [11:31] Hi. I've been using kde 3.9.5, and I have troubles to delete archives from other partition disk (dolphin need around 10 minutes to send to the trash big archives); Is it normal ??. Thanks [11:34] hector: i've had that before myself [11:34] i think it copies them over to the local disk trash [11:35] Chrysalis: I think that too, so, kubuntu can't send it directly to trash without copy it first to linux partition ? [11:36] i guess not if thats what it does [11:37] hector: you have not been using kde 3.9.5 [11:37] Chrysalis: ok, and....May I configure it (dolphin or other), to go faster ? [11:38] Boohbah: sorry, 3.5.9, Im newbie at kubuntu [11:38] you can straigt up delete it without sending to trash [11:38] i am a nubie too :P [11:38] Chrysalis: how ? [11:38] shift+delete if its the same as windows [11:38] havent treid [11:39] Im going to try it now [11:39] shift+delete works fine here [11:39] ok then ;p [11:40] Ok, thanks :) [11:40] windows makes a hiden folder for trash on the drive you delete [11:40] well, like gnome do, isn't it? [11:40] i dont think so, gnome copes over to local trash too i think [11:40] i dont know ;/ [11:43] actually i think you are right, gnome makes a .trash folder so probably doesnt have to cp [11:44] well, now I have a new problem, how can I see hidden archives with dolphin ?? [11:45] under 'view' i guess? or was it first page somewhere in preferences? i am not on kde atm [11:47] Chrysalis: yep, but the archives I deleted doesn't appear now [11:48] Chrysalis: Are those archives directly deleted from the disk / partition ? [11:48] if you did shft+delete [11:49] ahm....Ok :) ; thank you very much :) [11:49] Bye all :) [11:53] hey guys, im trying to find a way to download from an ftp site, where there are a few ftp tutorials on uploading to the server. unfortunatly these are for windoze systems, so i wanted to know if there is a good kubuntu variant for ftp uploading that i can use also perhaps for downloading from the ftp site [11:53] . [11:56] tecinically i think i shouldnt be actually finding these things, however ftp seems easy enough to crack...any ideas on where i should start...the items that im trying to download are streamed froma radio site. so i basicly want to have that content on my server instead of having to listen to a stream [11:57] dru__: konqueror is perfectly good at handling ftp [11:57] oh okay ... i see [11:58] what is then : coffecup , composer , cuteftp, microsoft publisher, or ws_ftp [11:58] are these not specific ftp handlers? [11:59] ftp-clients and/or prograsmms with integrated ftp-clients [11:59] ^^ [11:59] does kubuntu have such an application? [11:59] if you are searching for a good old ftp-client for kde, give kasablanca a try. i like it [11:59] konqueror is perfect for kde [11:59] okay thanks ds187 [12:00] ill give it a google [12:00] you dont need one of those programs to download from ftp [12:00] what should i use then [12:01] i am assuming that the owner of the site would prefer listener to have acess only to the stream [12:01] also [12:01] the site seems to allow uploads [12:01] however downloading my be another issue [12:03] the whole point of my doing this is to find the location of the actual content instead of just the "maped" streams [12:04] downloading isnt such a problem, just actually finding it is...thats the reason why id follow their ...tutorials on the subject [12:04] !info krusader [12:04] krusader (source: krusader): twin-panel (commander-style) file manager for KDE (and other desktops).

[12:05] thanks flaccid [12:05] np [12:05] thomas_: what is the problem? [12:06] i just do not get it working [12:06] first i tried setting up through systemsettings [12:07] but it says always that xorg settings do not work [12:07] then i tried the ati drivers but i need a driver earlier then 8.30 [12:07] thomas_: what is not working? are you trying to get a specific resolution? [12:08] hi yall [12:08] no i do not even get anything displayed on the monitor [12:08] guys am using the compiz 3d effects [12:08] sometimes some programs turn into black & white [12:08] how can i return the color to these programs ? [12:10] it worked on edgy together with the ati driver, but on hardy the old drivers are not supported anymore [12:11] thomas_: I don't use ATI stuff, so I'm not sure about driver status or anything... but I guess you could build modules if ATI supplies the driver on their site [12:12] hm, i got some old driver from ati and tried to install it according to http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/ATI-Grafikkarten/fglrx/Manuelle_Treiberinstallation [12:13] but... on running the driver installer i just get: Requested package is not supported. [12:15] :-( [12:16] thomas_: you can do it with the xorg free driver easily [12:16] hm, ok what would i have to do? [12:16] check xrandr -q [12:16] tried that [12:16] with which driver [12:17] the extrenal monitor shows up at dvi-0 [12:17] i do not really know [12:17] so there are two in there? [12:17] fglrxinfo says mesa something as driver... [12:17] two monitors?

[14:36] frybye: no it keeps power on for me [14:36] ahmed: I would assume it just minimizes power usw... [14:36] !it [14:36] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [14:37] so whats the problem.. under vista the power lamp on my pc blinks when it is asleep... (and sometimes it even wakes up again properly! [14:37] frybye: i think minimise the power is standby when i use windose hipernate cut off the power and standby miimise the power [14:38] ahmed: - must admit you seem to know more than me... [14:38] frybye: ofcourse no maybe im wrong [14:39] I never was so shure what (if any the difference in the two was suppose to be...) I nearly always shut down the pc when leaving for more than 30 mins or so - because the standbuy/hibernate or whatever tends not to wake up properly.. [14:39] still with a bit of luck I can use hardy a lot when my new pc is here in a week... [14:40] ok nevermind thanks fr your trying to help [14:40] ahmed: I think a logical explanation would be - standby - writes open apps and so on to the ram - and hibernate to the hard disk.. still has to be a bit of power on the cpu etc to start the thing again on wake up or..? [14:41] ahmed: afwahn... [14:41] frybye: you can cut power completely when suspended to disk [14:42] frybye: thanks man r u arabic?? [14:42] llutz - but how does the pc know to not do a normal boot when restarting?? [14:42] llutz: how to suspend?? [14:42] ahmed: la - Inglizi.... [14:42] frybye: hahaaahaa i dont think so [14:42] frybye: the os has to look for a hibernation file/partition [14:43] as a 17yo then sent me to play "Crusader" - still - have to earn the mil. disability some how... [14:43] frybye: former you used a grub option like "resume=/dev/sdXY" to tell the kernel where to look for [14:43] llutz - and it does that normally when it boots - and on finding none does a regular start up or...? (one learns every day...heheh) [14:44] frybye: that's how it should work [14:44] i c [14:45] on the other hand if 150 dollar - vista dosent do it right - how the heck should linux hehehe [14:45] suspend with linux ... still crap in most cases [14:46] at least here in DE we can buy a legal system builder vista h.p. for about that price.. some sane-minded german high-court judge ruled that not letting everybody buy s-builder soft was "discrimination!" good eh? [14:46] I am just trying out KDE 3.5 having used Gnome for 6 months and I've found a WTF. I added the system menu to my panel and if I click on home folder, it launches filelight. WTF? I don't want filelight, I want a file browser. Where do I kick the system menu so that it launches a real file browser instead of that slow rubbish? [14:46] i'll make it shutdown and keep myself in safeside [14:47] ahmed: that is what I (and the rest of the universe I suspect..?) has been doing the last 25 years heheheh [14:47] hmm.. actually I'll fix it be uninstalling filelight. [14:47] filelight? Hmm.. [14:48] that would be a default application issue [14:48] frybye: when linux will be free of proplems?? [14:48] ahmed: you get a **perfect** version of linux the day you get your 27 virgins - right!? [14:49] thats better. now it opens nautilus [14:49] - but I admit this is a wee bit o.topic... heheh [14:49] frybye: say it again in arabic i didnt get what u want to say [14:50] mafisch - wa anna takalem schwei schwie arabie.. and this is an english tech channel... [14:50] hi all [14:50] its possible to use 2 network cards, with 2 links, balancing? [14:51] * Dr_willis wonders when computers will be free of problems. [14:51] ahmed: you asked when do we get a linux free of problems.. and I answered you get a -perfect- version of linux along with the 27 virgins in paradise.. ok?

[14:52] afeijo: no... have a look at http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/377 [14:52] afeijo: or google for routing multiple uplinks [14:53] afeijo: it can get messy, but it works... I've used it myself a number of times now [14:53] nice! I will search for it, thanks m8 [14:53] I have one other strange problem. I use an app called webuilder (kwebuilder) to rotate my wallpaper. On Gnome it works fine, but in kde it always sets my desktop background preferences to default settings. I want the wallpaper scaled, but it forgets that setting. I'm assuming its a problem in kwebuilder. [14:53] afeijo: no problem... hope it works out [14:54] makaveli: I have cable 8mb at home, my phone cia. offer me 500k thru adsl for free, so I accepted heheh [14:54] makaveli: sometimes the cable get instable, so I hope my kubuntu can manage to use the other link [14:54] frybye: im not reg [14:55] I spent the day away from Gnome to give KDE another chance. I'm suffering the DTs (Desktop Tension). [14:55] afeijo: if you have an adsl.modem complete with router function on the adsl should work out of the box I guess...

[15:01] yeah === rollo is now known as Rollo` [15:01] afeijo: routing through multiple uplinks works okay... its impossible to detect a failed link though without writing a customized script... coz your links to your router will always be up [15:01] afeijo: you see what I said.. with a 30 dollar router the whole thing is a lot easiert - especially if you wanna connect 2 - 3 pcs at some stage... [15:01] howdy all [15:02] afeijo: so if the connection on your router goes down, some addresses resolve while others don't [15:02] frybye: I have dlink 624, with wifi and router for 4 ports [15:02] I will try with that router, if not, I will search a good device for that [15:03] afeijo: so if you run the hardy to the adsl via that should be no prob at all or... [15:03] I asume the 524 has an adsl modem in it or...? [15:03] Can anyone tell me if it is possible to be connected to a wireless AP without being loged in first? [15:04] Rollo`: yeah.... you could run a script to connect in rc.local [15:04] 624 has no modem, just router and wifi [15:04] afeijo: the coolest adsl-modem+routers here on the German market are the fritz.box series.. not cheap though - most folks here get them free with the adsl contract.. [15:04] you can configure it in /etc/network/interfaces [15:05] nosrednaekim: ive been searching the internet but can't seem to find anything on it. im very new to linux and only been using it for a few days [15:05] go check www.avm.de [15:05] Rollo`: If the AP has no authentication like wep or wap. Also no login prompt will appear if the AP has auth but the network manager has saved the names/passwords in a file to use [15:05] frybye: I live in Brazil, the import fee is off the charts [15:05] importation tax [15:06] afeijo: but they will sell them locally I guess.. are you saying that dlink is manuf in Brazil??? [15:06] i have managed to get it so auto connect to the AP by using /etc/network/interfaces - however i must log in first for it to do so [15:06] Rollo`: and why don't yoiu want to have to log in? [15:07] frybye: I'm not sure, but dlink is easy to find here, not so expensive. that you mention I never heard before [15:08] nosrednaekim: i have it set up to share files with my housemate who is using a mac, i want it so she can just turn the computer on and have access to files [15:08] ah.. I see [15:08] she is even more n00b than I [15:08] Rollo`: you COULD have it autologin... [15:09] and then lock your screen. [15:09] nosrednaekim: that could work. [15:10] easy enough to do? [15:10] Rollo`: that would be in systemsettings->advanced->loginmanager [15:10] yeah... its simple [15:10] then... ->convenience [15:11] oh yeah [15:11] afeijo: see pm pse.. [15:11] thats simple [15:12] cheers :P [15:13] Rollo`: don't enable "persistent" though [15:14] what does the persistent option do? [15:14] every time you log out... it will log you right back in [15:14] making it impossible to switch users [15:14] oh [15:14] good thing i didnt do that, it would have kept me busy for hours trying to work out what was going on [15:17] thanks for your help, im going to go try it out [15:17] :D [15:18] ok === donnovan is now known as Donny === Donny is now known as DonnyD [15:31] what's the name of the batter monitor app that comes with kubuntu? [15:31] hello folks. the first thing i usually do when i have a new KDE is set my Desktop path to point to my home directory. [15:32] now i just installed hardy, and when i set my Desktop to point to /home/astan in kcontrol.. what i get is my root (/) shown on my desktop (!). [15:32] has this happened to anyone else? known bug? [15:34] http://dose.se/desktop-setting.png <-- this shows the problem. [15:36] can i hack around this in some config file? [15:37] <_juan> anyone here using kde4? [15:38] _juan: I'm certain many of the people in the #kubuntu-kde4 channel are :) [15:38] <_juan> thanx [15:39] hrm. i can't find the setting in ~/.kde, anyone know where the path to the desktop is set? === evalles_ is now known as effie_jayx [15:56] fddfdf [15:56] = =!

[15:58] estan: You're welcom [15:58] *welcome [16:02] so, no one knows the name of that kde battery app for laptops that comes with kubuntu? [16:02] estan: By the way you need to point it to /home/astan/Desktop [16:03] the default I mean [16:04] Power Manager [16:05] genii: but that's exactly what i don't want. i want my desktop to be my home directory. [16:05] it's usually the first thing i set whenever i've installed KDE. but this time it didn't work. [16:05] is there anyplace i should look for help with open office on hardy? i upgraded and oo won't open [16:06] for some reason if i set the path to /home/astan (my home directory), it shows my root (/) on the desktop instead. [16:06] Aw0L: guidance-power-manager [16:07] estan: Since kde (X) runs with admin privelege, it's home is / [16:07] jussi01, thanks - I thought it was a kde app? [16:07] genii: yes, but i'm not setting it to ~ or anything, i'm explicitly setting it to /home/astan, and it still thinks that it should use /, how come? [16:07] i've never had this problem until today when i installed hardy on my laptop. [16:09] anyway, i just realized, maybe i should get used to having my deskopt point to /home/astan/Skrivbord (Skrivbord == Desktop in swedish), like everyone else ;) [16:09] *desktop. [16:14] estan: Because kde tries to write things like the .kde directory in one level above the Desktop directory, if you tell it to make /home/name the base, it will try to write .kde in /home where it has no privelege. Not finding anything there it reverts to root behaviour and shows / [16:14] I have a Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 wifi... but it does not work... fwcutter is also installed [16:15] genii: why on earth would they introduce such behavior? i can't believe the location of ~/.kde would be determined using your desktop path?! [16:15] Even if it was made writable there for it, every user you set up in this way would overwrite the previous users settings [16:15] the interface is detected... but i can not establish a connection... (my wlan router is also detected) [16:16] estan: It's designed in this way to compartmentalize each instance that will be run. [16:16] estan: Since you are not supposed to recurse from your own directory normal operation of this results in specific settings for each user in their home directory, one directory level above the Desktop directory [16:17] genii: i believe you are mistaken. the location of e.g. ~/.kde has never been affected by the desktop path for me before. [16:17] Error loading BASIC of document file :///usr/lib/openoffice/share/basic/WebWizard/script.xlb/: General Error. General input//output error. [16:17] i have the desktop path set up to my home directory on my desktop machine and another laptop at home, and there's no problem, it uses ~/.kde none the less. [16:17] estan: When you are setting Desktop direstory in Kcontrol, it is automatically assumed the Desktop directory is a subdirectory of your home directoty [16:18] bah typos [16:19] well something happened in edgy->hardy, as i have desktop path == home directory working fine on two machines running edgy at home. it just wouldn't work when i installed hardy on this one. [16:20] if you are not allowed to set a desktop path to anything outside your home dir, or setting it _to_ you home dir.. then the dialog shouldn't allow it. since when i set it to /home/astan, what appeared on my desktop was my root dir, which was very confusing.

[16:21] and if it's by design that i can't set my desktop path to what i want (including setting it to my own home dir). then i must say i disagree with the design :/ [16:21] Hamra: eventually [16:22] thnx [16:22] anyway, thanks for clearing this up genii :) eventhough i'm still confused as setting my desktop path to my home dir has always been the first thing i've done when configuring my KDE, ever since 2.x i think.

But Konversation is the best one I know of.

[18:00] i try to stay away from it as much as i can [18:01] getting a nice kde 4 theme for gnome would look better then having qt 3 apps running in kde 4 [18:01] so I guess you dislike KDE 3 as well? [18:01] yes [18:01] weird... but anyway... [18:02] i think KDE 3 looks better than KDE 4 [18:02] there's a gtk-qt4-engine that themes gtk apps with qt4 styles (like Oxygen) [18:02] yeah i've been using that, but it's kinda buggy [18:03] well the overall layout in kde 3 and kde 3 apps was messy [18:04] cleaton: it seems you are right. I can't find irc anymore on the kde4 version of kopete [18:04] but they are going to make upgrades to kopete in kde 4.1 [18:04] and i guess they will upgrade konversation too [18:04] cleaton: It just occured to me that Pidgin has IRC support. I'm not sure how good it is at it, but since it is GTK you can skin it to look like KDE4. [18:05] Jucato: there's also something that does the opposite (for people using kde apps in gnome) [18:05] is there a way to enable multiverse and universe from the command line, but without editing the sources.list file?

XD [18:06] oh, and still no IRC for Kopete in 4.1 [18:06] I think if you're insistent on avoiding KDE3, XChat is probably the way to go until Konversation is ported to KDE4. [18:07] hello does anyone know a good site similar to limewire thatl runn with kubuntu [18:07] !frostwire [18:07] frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire [18:07] TY [18:07] xchat is certainly more powerful than pidgin's irc component, and definitely more powerful than konversation will ever be [18:07] oh sorry I see multiverse en universe are already enabled [18:08] quassel actually seem to be great [18:08] i'll give it a try [18:09] thanks for the help everyone [18:09] can i run sudo apt-get to get frostwire ? [18:09] shane_: sudo apt-cache search frostwire [18:09] shane_: to check foryourself [18:10] and if you find it, then just use sudo apt-get install [18:10] Daisuke-Laptop: what's the extra power in xchat?

RH4? 3? [18:14] uga: I think it depends on how people learn. I know that for me, following tutorials wasn't really that helpful. Breaking things and working out how to fix them has taught me a lot more about how Linux works. [18:15] dpkg -i and dpkg-reconfigure was one of the first things i had to learn :P [18:15] the command almost nobody learns is /quit though [18:15] once they get in, nobody ever goes out [18:15] then i had to compile a driver for my graphicscard, wich i don't even remember how to do anymore as it's not needed often anymore :P [18:16] while im on here my son wants to know if there is a way to run a microcrap style game in kubuntu as ive now removed all xp off our home systems [18:16] wine.... or if there aren't many graphics to it... virtualbox [18:16] shane_: wine will run quite a lot of things with varying success [18:17] nosrednaekim: wine will work for that style of games [18:17] shane_: you could also recomend him some free linux games [18:17] ok and i can find wine in the kubuntu files [18:17] sudo apt-get install wine [18:17] how can I setup a broadcom wifi?

Save it to /home/yourname Then open Konsole and do: cd ~/ then: sudo dpkg -i thefilename.deb [18:43] its opens automaticly in kate and states that if i save the file will be corrupt === ubuntu is now known as slimsim [18:43] hey there [18:44] someone there? [18:44] shane_: When you download it from the internet, it will not normally just open it automatically in some text editor or so.

For the moment just to get your frostwire going I'd suggest: sudo apt-get install wget; wget http://dl.frostwire.com/frostwire/4.13.5/frostwire-4.13.5.i586.deb; sudo dpkg -i frostwire-4.13.5.i586.deb [19:12] hmm, if you have alsa installed many channels should work [19:12] check if flash is somehow using oss [19:13] shane_: The firefox issue may have something to do with your default mimetype setup for firefox. If you pastebin the contents of file: ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/mimeTypes.rdf it might be possible to see if thats whats casing it [19:14] I always use wget for files more than a few megabytes.

[20:51] woa...mooper, jabba...something really weird happened...i booted into X anyway! [20:51] lol [20:52] you were right jabba [20:52] mooper, jabba: what's goin on? [20:52] erythrocyte: god knows [20:52] lol [20:52] its all borked [20:52] shit, I can't seem to play this DVD. I tried installing a bunch of dvdlibs, but they're not working [20:52] sacrafice more engineers [20:52] deejaypip: install vlc [20:52] should work [20:52] anybody know what scrollkeeper-update is? [20:52] thanks mooper; I'll try [20:53] mooper, jabba: anyway...so my boot still hung infinitely at 'reading files needed to boot' [20:53] then.........well thats pre X anyway [20:53] ooh, I know what it is [20:53] btw i noticed that before 'reading files needed to boot' it says running /scripts/innit bottom something [20:53] it is trying to find a resume image to boot from [20:53] erythrocyte: that doesn't sound like init [20:54] mooper: it might be complaining about inittab... [20:54] duh, no erythrocyte's original problem was that his boots were taking frikkin ages [20:55] mooper: yea that's right [20:55] the inittab makes no bones [20:55] mooper: a resume image sounds like hibernate to me. [20:55] erythrocyte: is it a laptop? [20:55] no it's a desktop [20:56] hm. [20:56] well, i'm at a loss. what if you boot into runlevel 2 or 1 [20:56] jabba, need to turn off quiet splash [20:56] 2 should get you networking, and 1 will just boot. [20:56] mooper: ding. whoops. [20:56] mooper: i'm a solaris guy normally. :) [20:56] what? splash? you mean open firmware?!! [20:56] I am a moron usually but today Im being a guru [20:57] jabba, mooper: could this possibly be related to a corrupt initramfs image or something? [20:57] no, quiet spalsh is a kernel opetion that you set in grup that turns aff all the lovely boot messages [20:57] s/grup/grub === KennethP_ is now known as KennethP [20:58] erythrocyte: it kinda sounds like it... but turning off splash will help [20:58] no, i'm sorry, i meant could my slow boot be due to that [20:58] erythrocyte: when grub comes up you need to press 'e' to edit your boot line [20:58] erythrocyte: do you see the message "Kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot..." [20:58] remove the word that says "quiet" [20:58] i did...turning off splash...turning it on...it's all just the same [20:58] I know, but you need to read the messages that you get when you turn off quiet boot [20:58] mooper: yea...but that mssg has always been there...ever since feisty === sparr_ is now known as sparr [20:59] aha, but you can turn off the looking for resume image cos that can take ages for the system to realise that its not there [20:59] jabba, mooper: i did, look at the messages i mean [20:59] like grandma looking for the keys that are allready in her hand [20:59] mooper: it's not actually slow at that stage [20:59] hola === RuyalarPrensi_ is now known as RuyalarPrensi [21:00] Hmm. VLC still isn't playing my DVD. The timer indicates that the video is running, but I don't see an image. [21:00] erythrocyte: oh, before that stage? [21:00] deejaypip: uhm [21:00] it's like after the kinit thingy...i get running /scripts/local something and then /scripts/init something and then....the 'reading files needed to boot'...here's where it hangs for minutes [21:01] erythrocyte: how old is the installation? [21:01] i installed hardy the week it came out...so i think about 15 days [21:01] reinstall it :) [21:02] mooper: lol..i was actually hoping that i might not need to [21:03] well, no bugger has any idea whats going on [21:03] so there is maybe some weird corruption [21:03] mooper: what puzzles me is that this slow down has only started after updates [21:03] exactly, reinstall and run the updates [21:04] I never do ubuntu updates usually, everything breaks [21:04] mooper: is it ok to generate a new initrd.img? you think that could have been corrupted somehow? [21:04] I have no idea whats going on [21:04] something has been borked [21:04] mooper: fine..i guess i'll have to reinstall [21:05] mooper, jabba: thanks anyway [21:05] np [21:07] Hallo, ich hab Probleme beim Drucken unter kubuntu 8.04. Kann mir da jemand weiter helfen? [21:08] Oh, sorry.Should I write it in english? [21:08] yes :) [21:09] KaTet: ALthough I think there's #kubuntu-de [21:09] yep [21:09] Ok. I have some problems with printing under kubuntu 8.04. Anyone here who can help? [21:10] sure... we can try [21:10] have you tried cups?

After upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 printing is no more possible [21:12] no space mooper :P [21:12] doh [21:12] KaTet: errors? [21:12] don't know whay I'm telling you that <_< [21:14] I deinstalled all printer and installed driver manually. Again no printing possible. Then I set the right for /dev/usb/lp0 additionally on read/write for others and now it works. === sparr_ is now known as sparr [21:15] After System restart the rights are set back to 'no access fpr other' [21:16] and printing is not possibe again [21:16] Any idea? [21:16] what kind of printer is it? [21:16] cannon,HP, etc [21:17] canon ip1600 [21:18] owner of /dev/usb/lp0 is root, group is lp [21:19] !canon [21:19] Factoid canon not found [21:19] !cannon [21:19] Factoid cannon not found [21:19] !printer [21:19] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [21:21] Yes, I know. Canon printer is allways special. But it worked under 7.10 perfectly. An it still does if the rights for /dev/usb/lp0 are changed. [21:22] KaTet: well, you can change them on boot.... [21:22] put the commands in /etc/rc.local === SSJ is now known as SSJ_GZ [21:23] ka-tet, huh? [21:24] woot [21:24] at the moment ka-tet with you [21:26] hi [21:26] Ok, /etc/rc.local would give a workarround. But I doesn't look like a solution, I mean a real one. [21:26] whats up guys [21:27] need some help withvirtual box [21:28] i cant use the alt key in the VM [21:28] whats the problem [21:28] i need it for photoshop [21:30] there are something like blurred kde images on konqueror...how to remove that [21:30] i mean the background thing [21:31] crashhandler: view->configure background [21:31] owh thanks :d [21:31] BBM-5: did you install guest additions? [21:31] yes [21:33] read something about disabling Mouse Integration but have no idea where to do that [21:34] What's a really good GUI program for searching for files? I'm looking for one that has the ability to exclude any directories I specify, and have other options like min/max file size, etc. Any ideas? [21:34] Steve-cal: I'm pretty sure kfind can do that kinda stuff [21:35] nosrednaekim: Some things, but I don't see any option to exclude certain directories from the search. === PascalFR is now known as pascalFR [21:39] hi all [21:39] guys, is there a repo or something along the lines to install KDE4 on Hardy from?

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [21:42] erythrocyte: thats incorrect for us, ad we dont use it. please use sudo -i instead [21:42] thank you very much... i am installing gimp for the first time [21:43] maria: erm [21:43] using apt-get? [21:43] yes [21:43] ah [21:43] that was the instruction on the gimp website [21:43] ok - it's just that sometimes people try to install from source because they don't know about apt-get [21:43] maria: you can find Gimp in Adept [21:44] apt-get is the way to do it :) Or use Adept from the k-menu (same thing, but with graphics) [21:44] jussi01: how is sudo su different from sudo -i ? just curious :) [21:44] maria: or in "Add/Remove Programs" [21:44] thank you all for your help [21:44] maria: a wee bit more "user friendly", although I do prefer the commandline ;) [21:44] i just installed an nvidia geforce card and would like to enable the 3d drivers for it. how do i do that?

I'd check in System Settings or in KMenu -> System for "Restricted Drivers" [21:46] jdlanteigne: in Gutsy it's in KMenu -> System Settings -> Advanced tab. In hardy it should be in the very same place; it should allow you to install the drivers automagically ;) === maria is now known as maria_o [21:47] hi out there [21:48] hi [21:48] hi [21:48] CAPS LOCK ARENT ON BUT IT KEEPS SPITTING OUT CAPS HOW DO I FIX IT?

[21:51] jussi01: got it ...thanks :) [21:51] norman_x: it might also be that Thunderbird does not honour the system web broser setting [21:51] erythrocyte: great :) [21:51] norman_x: in that case you probably have to find this setting in Tb itself === aztun is now known as zerg [21:57] how to customize desktop for all user?? === erich is now known as sourcemaker_ [21:57] join kubuntu-de [21:58] sourcemaker_: I won't [21:58] =) [21:58] byte71: copy the relevant files from ~/.kde to `kde-config --prefix` basically [21:58] see the user guide on docs.kde.org, section "kde for admins" [21:58] uga: :-) [22:02] thanks the restricted driver manager took care of it [22:02] how do i enable compiz? === crankcaller is now known as scober [22:04] !-compiz-fusion [22:04] compiz-fusion is compiz - added by jrib on 2007-09-15 01:44:26 - last edited by jrib on 2007-09-15 01:50:41 [22:05] So it looks like none of the DVD players like my hardware.

[22:09] ahhh, another issue with my DVDs is that I need subtitles. I'm deaf. [22:12] deejaypip, libdvdcss2 merely rids the dvd of the DRM tag , subtitles etc should be preserved if you copy the full dvds without compression [22:12] nosrednaekim: problem solved [22:12] cyall [22:14] what package do i need to get to manage compiz?

[22:17] ah [22:17] whi my shutdown menù don't have immage of kde????????? [22:17] Or you can use tab completion. XD [22:17] thanks! [22:17] but tab complete is your friend here - just do "cd Micr" [22:17] it doesn work since there is another sub-directory that also starts with Microsoft [22:18] so that's why ;-) [22:18] ah, ok. The trick is still worth knowing though :-) [22:18] MS Office run on wine ? [22:19] BluesKaj: I thin kit depends on the version.

[22:54] Hello. What program causes the popup dialog when I insert an Audio CD, for example? [22:54] Dragnslcr: Yes, if your BIOS supports it. [22:54] I have a fresh clean hardy install... but the wlan is not working... any help? http://pastebin.kubuntu-de.org/160 [22:55] vlt- it's a relatively new motherboard (bought last year) that has hardware RAID for the SATA controllers, so I'd guess that the BIOS shouldn't have a problem with it. Thanks [23:03] Hi, I use XSane, but recently, it tells me that the device was busy; I can't access it. [23:08] What are the negatives to 8.04 (KDE 4 remix)? You folks recomend this? [23:10] test it as a liveCD, or install it after installing the kde3... but don't just install the remix [23:11] install it afterwards with "apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop" [23:11] okay, good advice :) [23:11] sts_: sigh, your university stole my precious domain name ;) [23:17] can somebody please help me with my apache LAMP server, I can not go to localhost unless I am online, I can't do work without an internet connection. [23:18] Is there anything I have to run to get a newly-connected SATA drive detected? Just hoping to be able to format the drive and copy some stuff to it without rebooting [23:18] sometimes downloaded movie clips (usually in divX) allow viewing but not fast forwarding. what causes that and how to fix it [23:18] dragnslcr usually it does automatically? [23:18] hi, I can't seem to run qt designer... the package is install, but how do I run it? [23:19] Dragnslcr: you can't hotplug those things :P [23:19] nosrednaekim- heh [23:19] level1_: designer-qt4 [23:19] yes you can [23:19] sata are hotpluggable [23:19] In linux? really? [23:19] not sure about in linux but the specs allow for it [23:19] I've seen some forum posts where people couldn't get new drives detected [23:19] Yeah, I knew SATA is hot-swappable [23:20] Just wasn't sure if Ubuntu would detect the new disk [23:20] A /dev/sdc didn't show up [23:20] Good evening, I am new to kubuntu and am having difficulty with my wireless connection, here goes: I am running Kubutu 8.04 on my acer aspire 4315, I can connect via a wired network, and have installed the atheros network driver netathr.inf I was running the same distribution up until the weekend when I reinstalled as I loaded ubuntu studio and only half the applications worked - for some reason I can't find the list of [23:20] available wireless networks to connect to - apologies if this is long winded [23:21] I've never tried before, so I wasn't sure if there's a command that will scan the SATA controllers for new devices [23:21] maybe mount? [23:22] im noob i know but now the good dr_willis is here [23:22] Heh [23:22] i am out of here in 9 min. [23:22] I know mount requires an entry in /dev first, and there's no /dev/sdc [23:23] Dr_willis- I'm just trying to see if Ubuntu will recognize a new SATA drive or if I have to reboot [23:23] hot plugged? [23:24] Yeah [23:25] good luck with that. :) [23:25] I do recall some hotplug utilities [23:26] Heh, I can just reboot [23:26] Dr_willis: some of the videos i downloaded are in a weird form of divX that doesnt allow fast forwarding. what is that and how can i fix it? [23:26] Got a new 500 GB drive. Gonna copy everything from the 250 that had Windows on it and set that up as a RAID mirror [23:27] Then set up Keep to make backups to the 500 [23:27] william_, ive seen that issue with some badly done videos. some sort of index that ive seen avidmux rebuild/correct. [23:27] you rock doc [23:27] william_, i recall vlc or mplayer correcting them also.. I think [23:32] Dragnslcr: so Keep is a great tool for backups? Been looking for something to handle backups :) [23:32] hola [23:33] tzd, I like Keep. That, or an rsync bash script :) [23:34] tzd- I've never used it, but it looks pretty simple to set up [23:34] NickPresta: Will Keep copy all things I might need in case of a hdd failure? [23:34] Dragnslcr: ah ok. [23:34] I would think that Keep is just a frontend for rsync [23:35] are there a shortcut to go from a desktop to another one with kde ? [23:35] tzd, keep is configurable in almost every way you could want. :) [23:35] nat2610: try ctrl + Fkey [23:35] thanks [23:35] tzd: that was that [23:36] nat2610: good :) [23:36] NickPresta: ah sweet! I need to try it out then. I'm ab it of a newbie when it comes to backups for linux but the longer I wait the more scared I get ;P [23:37] tzd- correction, it uses rdiff [23:37] Dragnslcr: ok, a bit over my skills now ^^ [23:37] good tsd [23:40] I hope you guys are more helpful than the ubuntu channel... lot of chaff on there... [23:40] I'm running MS VirtualPC 2007 with a 1.5GB disk, install fails like "an installation step failed .. select and install software" should I make the virtual disk bigger? (VPC said it would auto-grow it, but I'm not sure) [23:40] 8.04 [23:41] HABLAN ESPAÑOL [23:42] LO NESECITO [23:42] NikLP- 1.5 GB probably won't be big enough for anything more than a minimal system [23:42] !es | root [23:42] root: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [23:43] Dragnslcr: sure - but it just fails - I get no options - should I just increase that anyway and hope for the best? Seems like an option, but I don't want to waste another 30 mins if someone here knows better :) [23:44] Automagically expanding the size of a virtual disk is entirely up the VM system [23:44] I would think the Kubuntu installer would check for free disk space before starting the installation, but the VM might not be reporting it correctly [23:45] right so grow that sucka, yeah? [23:45] wasn't sure how much linux had grown in the last xx years :/ [23:46] The base system would probably fit in 1.5 GB easily, but KDE adds quite a bit [23:46] ah well === pascalFR is now known as PascalFR [23:46] I have pretty limited space is all... I'll clear down and see what I can do from there, thanks :) [23:47] Eh, disk space is dirt cheap this days [23:47] 500 GB drive for under $100 [23:47] Good luck with it [23:48] yeah I'm on a laptop with 40GB total at the moment, so we'll see what we can do. I just upgraded to 1GB RAM this MORNING, so you can see where I'm at :) [23:49] Hehe, good point [23:49] 'Course that's why I like desktops. I just dropped in a new 500 GB drive [23:54] witajcie ludu !! [23:54] :D [23:55] jest ktos z Was kto by sie znal na konfiguracji wifi? :/ [23:55] !pl | lukasz [23:55] lukasz: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl [23:56] thx
