[00:09] never tried it, sorry [00:13] before upgrading to 8.04 it worked under 7.10 [00:16] is it for making screen videos? [00:16] i can't even find it on my machien [00:17] hey guys im having trouble booting a usb stick containing backtrack (the usb version)....how come it dosnt appear on my grub [00:17] leftbas: yes.. record your screen [00:18] krecordmydesktop ist the package for kde [00:18] can anyone tell me how to upgrade my java in kubuntu 7.04 [00:18] or gtk-recordmydesktop os another guo for recordmydesktop [00:19] dru: the grub on your hard drive doesn't enter into it. is your BIOS set to boot from a usb device? [00:19] i dont have bios , its a mac intel without refit (works thru grub) [00:20] dru: yeah, but the machine's firmware needs to know to boot from the usb device. the grub settings on your hard drive won't come into play at all [00:20] yeah [00:20] so i thought [00:21] dru: try booting to a live-cd, then mount the usb flash drive [00:21] i got refit apt-gotten , and it installed but .... i dont think it even did anything to the /hda0 [00:21] yeah thats a good idea [00:21] thanks [00:21] no prob [00:22] hey BluesKaj [00:22] hi leftbas [00:28] my gnome fonts are all huge in kubuntu, i'd like to run gnome-settings-daemon, but i dont see it anywhere to install. Any ideas? [00:29] yeoj_: If you're running gnome, you're running ubuntu. Ask there. [00:29] yeoj_: kubuntu vs gnome is the only difference between the two. [00:29] try running the appearance module of system settings [00:30] make sure the gtk fonts option uses the kde font settings [00:30] jhutchins, i'm running kde, but i like gtk apps too [00:30] jhutchins, not to mention firefox looks doofy [00:30] doofy == huge wierd fonts [00:30] lol [00:32] leftbas, hmm... i dont see any gtk fonts option.... its system-settings->appearance->fonts ? [00:32] leftbas, oh, guess i should point out its kde4 too [00:32] ohhhhhhh, that's different [00:32] lol [00:32] can't help you there, i'm afraid... [00:32] details... [00:32] no worries, i'll figure it out [00:33] except to say that you could try deleting the ~/.gnome2/share/fonts/fonts.dir file [00:33] let it create a fresh copy === nick_ is now known as Cueball [00:43] !refit [00:43] Factoid refit not found [00:43] !efi [00:43] Factoid efi not found [00:44] !lilo [00:44] lilo is an alternative [Li]nux Boot[Lo]ader.

[00:58] hi [00:58] I have Ubuntu Hardy...is moving to Kubuntu as simple as doing "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" and "apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop" ? [00:59] MachinTrucChose: you can have both installed [00:59] I don't want to [00:59] its not that simple , you will need to manually remove the packages contained on ubuntu [00:59] Nautilus kind of ruins Ubuntu for me [00:59] !purekde [00:59] purekde is If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [00:59] thanks for the link [00:59] an optional idea would be to just install kde and "change" your de in the login screen [00:59] I wasn't expecting to change until KDE 4.1 was out, but I draw the line at a lack of drag-and-drop between the archiver and the file manager [01:00] Jucato: Have you got any idea about my problems with flash by any chances? ;/ [01:00] dru: I'm a minimalist...I'll leave the aptitude cache intact if I ever change my mind, but for now, I'm getting rid [01:00] crs: Flash and Konqueror is an unstable combo really... I keep Firefox around just for that :/ [01:01] Jucato: but opera acts exactly the same ;/ [01:01] Jucato: that link doesn't have instructions for Hardy. The latest is for Gutsy. [01:01] crs: yeah, because they're both Qt-based [01:01] MachinTrucChose: I think it's mostly the same [01:02] ok [01:02] I don't know why, but my sound doesn't work. [01:03] run : alsamixer [01:03] so all of my other stuff remains, right? For example, if I had replaced Network-Manager with Wicd, and I install KDE, the KDE network manager leaves me alone? And what about Compiz, since both use it, it will leave my existing settings/shortcuts alone, right? [01:03] there should be a few notches muted [01:03] is there anywone i can ask a few questions to [01:04] dru, was that for me [01:04] !ask [01:04] 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. :-) [01:04] yes nathan [01:04] im new to ubuntu and am trying to modify /etc/webmin/miniserv.users what do i use to open it? [01:04] any editor [01:04] nano [01:04] gedit for example [01:05] thnx [01:05] um.. unless you're on Kubuntu where gedit won't exist. you'll have to use kate [01:05] its not in the program options to chose? how do i add it there [01:05] or kedit [01:05] Jonathan_R: not even kedit [01:06] no? [01:06] sean_: use Kate [01:06] Jonathan_R: not installed by default [01:06] (and gone by KDE 4 anyway) [01:06] oooook [01:06] i liked kedit [01:06] sean_ open a terminal and : nano /etc/webmin/miniserv.users [01:06] thx dru [01:06] i hate gnome, but like the gnome tools [01:06] *cough* sudo *cough* [01:07] DUH [01:07] Jonathan_R: kedit wasn't able to adapt and keep up. for example, I don't think it has support for unicode or RTL or both [01:07] i see [01:07] which is why kwrite eventually replaced it as the default text editor by KDE 3 [01:07] oh well [01:07] s/by/in/ [01:07] (btw, yes, KWrite is the default KDE 3 text editor, not Kate) [01:07] I hate kwrite :) [01:07] so do i [01:07] to heavy [01:08] kwrite? heavy? O.o [01:08] might as well use openoffice [01:08] sure you're not confusing kwrite and kate? [01:08] i'm sure [01:08] * Jucato hasn't heard that one yet :) [01:08] alguien que hable español? [01:08] now ya have [01:09] I'm not too heavy - it just isn't Kate, but it almost is. I almost want to hit it and scream "JUST BE KATE ALREADY!"

[01:09] ok thanks [01:09] It's** hehe. Although I'm not heavy either ;) [01:09] lol [01:09] heh [01:09] heavy is relative [01:09] to each his own... kwrite is pretty light. at least in KDE 4 (though there isn't much diff from KDE 3 in terms of features) [01:09] not my relative, but relative [01:10] and I heard they're going to make it like notepad too :) [01:10] oh well [01:10] nano is asking me to ^x to exit how do i do that and do i ahve to save first thanks [01:10] exit [01:10] sean_: Ctrl+O to save [01:10] Have any of you used gddccontrol before? [01:10] dru: save first :) [01:10] sean_ have you read the man page?

[01:11] porta, what sort of help, specifically? [01:12] well,I installed compiz from the adept installer [01:12] but I can't see any effects [01:12] I restarted,but... [01:12] nada [01:12] start compiz [01:13] Jucato, i'll be new to the buntu family in a few days. Currently I am a suser and have been for several years. [01:13] porta, do you actually mean Compiz, or Compiz Fusion? [01:13] porta, did you follow the instructions here, specifically 'Run Compiz'? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion [01:13] My dell will be coming with Ubuntu 7.10 and I want kde, not gnome, so I have Kubuntu 8.04 [01:14] That fixed it dru, thanks [01:15] Jonathan_R: welcome to kubuntu :) [01:15] My question Jucato is this, will kubuntu format the ubuntu 7.10, or will it just be adding kde to ubuntu 7.10 [01:15] ty Jucato [01:15] i've never worked with a distro like this before [01:16] Jonathan_R: you can just add it. install the "kubuntu-desktop" package and you'll have both installed [01:16] If you install from a disc, it'll probably want a clean partition to install to [01:16] NickPresta, Jonathan_R: 3 Generations of KDE Text Editors: http://jucato.org/stuff/3g_textedit.png [01:16] As a reward for this channel's help, I leave you with some news that should warm everyone's heart. http://kotaku.com/5010087/judge-says-jack-thompson-guilty-of-misconduct-during-gta-bully-trials [01:16] Upgrading to 8.04 and install kubuntu-desktop will probably work better [01:16] Well, it'll be easier [01:17] thanks [01:17] i did get the ubuntu 8.04 dvd as well [01:17] * dru thinks 7.10 is outdated [01:17] i think so to [01:17] Jucato, I would assume KWrite <2> is the KDE 4 version? [01:17] NickPresta: yep [01:17] you can see by the theme :) [01:18] I don't think I've ever used KWrite [01:18] I always use Kate [01:18] NickPresta, you could rename it. instead of <2> call it KDE 4 [01:18] apgrading and doing a correct home partition while your at it (to save time on your next upgrade) would fix alot of "problems" [01:18] Jonathan_R, I know :) [01:18] ;) [01:18] lol [01:18] I always use Kate as well. KWrite feels like Wordpad on Windows - fine, but not what I would want to use if I had a choice :) [01:18] no, the <2> means it's the 2nd KWrite window that I have open [01:19] except KWrite doesn't have RTF like Wordpad... [01:19] (which is something I wanted in Kate... but...) [01:19] autosave [01:19] rich text format? [01:19] gotta have autosave [01:19] Need to get 30.0MB/160MB of archives. [01:19] <--- Does this mean I'm getting 30mb, or that I could be getting anything from 30 to 160 mb of archives? [01:19] Is Kwrite at the same level as Notepad? [01:19] MachinTrucChose, you already have 160M of the archives. You need 30M more [01:19] Dragnslcr: not even :) [01:19] thank you [01:20] I kept thinking it was part of KOffice [01:20] MachinTrucChose, sorry, you already have 130M / 160M [01:20] NickPresta: yep. rich text format... kinda annoying that I would have to use kword for simple rtf files :) [01:21] is there a way to have gnome kde and educational stuff with out having to do like 3 distros? [01:21] aaanyway... gotta blast [01:21] Jonathan_R- sure, you can have Gnome and KDE installed at the same time [01:21] Jonathan_R: what do you mean by "3 distros"? [01:21] You just select one of them when you login [01:21] just install the edu packages you want [01:22] ubuntu, kubuntu edubuntu [01:22] O.o [01:22] gar [01:22] Jonathan_R: we all use the same repositories [01:22] Jonathan_R, you can install the various *buntu-desktop packages, I believe. In the case of edubuntu, you can just install the educational packages. [01:22] Edubuntu just has certain packages installed by default [01:22] ok [01:23] Jonathan_R: the repository setup is just like openSUSE's... if you installed KDE by default, later on you can install GNOME too [01:23] lemme show ya what i'm used to [01:23] http://downloads.thecompletecomputerresource.com/smart/opensuse_103.repo [01:23] You could try installing edubuntu-desktop, not sure how well that would work [01:23] Compiz...bu [01:23] sudo apt-get install subversion [01:23] svn ls https://svn.generation.no/emerald-themes [01:23] All of the Edubuntu packages are in the repository as education-* [01:23] actually, i can install gnome durring install [01:24] i can select kde and gnome and xfce [01:24] Jonathan_R, you can do the same in *buntu [01:24] Jonathan_R: yeah I know. I said *if* [01:24] NickPresta: not during first installation [01:24] lol ok [01:24] no? [01:24] in opensuse i can [01:25] yeah yeah.. they're different :) [01:25] down in the left hand corner click details [01:25] OpenSuSE... [01:25] i know they are [01:25] *buntu only installs one desktop environment at install time [01:25] * NickPresta shudders [01:25] Ubuntu has a different marketing drive than openSUSE. so...

[02:28] is this the place to ask questions about kubuntu? [02:28] yes [02:29] well i have been looking at a lot of different versions of linux and i think im gonna go with some form of ubuntu [02:29] what is the difference between gnome and kde? [02:30] its a desktop environment [02:30] ok, i have sorted out flash issue. [02:30] wasnt easy at all! ;/ [02:30] kinda like the differeance between windows and osx (at least in looks) [02:31] so there's a big difference? [02:31] kde is probably better left for advanced (enhanced) computer users [02:31] styfle: the desktop environment is the way in which you interact with the system [02:32] i c [02:32] so its really just appearance [02:32] also functionality [02:32] styfle: I'd suggest you try both (you can have both gnome and kde installed) and see which you like best. it comes down to personal preference [02:33] hmm ok but the only version of linux i have tried using is knoppix off a live cd [02:33] you can run gnome apps in kde and vice versa, so it's just a matter of what fits best [02:33] im really reallly new to this [02:33] in fact, this is my first time successfully using irc lmao [02:33] knoppix uses KDE too [02:34] oh ok [02:34] so does back track [02:34] so my real question: what version should i use for my laptop that has a celeron at 2.0GHz and about 700MB of RAM [02:35] do you know if its x86 or 64 [02:35] it only has a 16gig HDD too [02:35] um how would i find out? [02:35] sorry [02:35] 32 bit or 64 [02:36] are you running windows? [02:36] yes xp [02:37] start -- controllpanel---systemsettings-- hardwareinformation....something in that direction [02:37] yeah im in system [02:37] try right clicking on your computer [02:37] i just dont see at 32 or 64 [02:38] Could someone please look here and try to help me with this problem? :( http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=331 [02:38] Start > Control Panel > System > The first tab should have that information. [02:38] [02:39] austin, you need to link us directly to the topic, not just the forum [02:39] Oops, sorry I thought I was on the topic. [02:39] this is what it says: intel celeron cpu 2GHz 704MB of RAM [02:39] does say the bit [02:39] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=804121 [02:39] styfle, I would imagine you are not running 64 bit [02:40] Ok. i have couple packages which I dont want to be upgraded, never. How can I hold them at currently installed version? [02:40] !pinning | crs [02:40] crs: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [02:40] crs lock that in synaptic [02:40] im gonna agree that this is 32 bit because the laptop is 5 years old [02:40] hey folks, for whatever reason whenever i login, no matter the window manager, X resizes to 640x480 [02:41] styfle: you might want the x86 version then [02:41] stdin, drurew: thanks guys. ;-) [02:41] crs, I believe there is information here too: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html (under 3.10) [02:41] what is the x86 version? [02:42] styfle: x86 is the generic name for a 32bit CPU [02:42] oooooh [02:42] ie: 686 [02:42] 386 [02:42] that explains a lot [02:42] 486 [02:42] 586 [02:42] how well does smartpm do in kubuntu? [02:43] ok so this laptop sucks at running windows, so what version of ubuntu would suit it best (2.0GHz x86) [02:43] give xubuntu a try [02:44] (minimal desktop)(really small) [02:44] you don't need xubuntu with that spec [02:44] what do i need? [02:44] true [02:44] any will run [02:45] ok thanks [02:45] this laptop has a 1.73 CPU, runs great [02:45] and it's my dev laptop, so I push it a lot :) [02:45] I used to run Kubuntu on a 733, with 256MB of RAM. It ran fine [02:46] what about the way the hdd is formated? [02:46] i run on a c2 at 4000 [02:46] cause doesnt windows use ntfs and linux uses fat? [02:46] the default will be ext3 [02:46] and there's a windows driver available to read that too [02:47] you should be able to read/write the ntfs partition if you want from linux as well [02:47] Good morning [02:47] ok so all i gotta do is burn the iso to a cd and install (which will wipe this hdd) [02:47] resize [02:48] that would also be an option youll find [02:48] you can either wipe it all, or resize and install in that [02:48] Hey all! Quick question. Have an nvidia card. Do I need to get hold of envy? apt-get says it has envyng-qt, envyng-gtk & envyng-core. So not sure now. [02:48] ok thanks [02:48] later guys [02:49] FoxII: you'll want the -qt one in kde, but the -gtk one will work too. the -core bit is the common parts that both GUIs use [02:49] ah, k. I'll use the -qt one if it's for kde. Thanks stdin :) [02:49] :) [02:56] Hey, i need some help over here: i cant increase the number of desktops more than 2, and when i try to increase it, it just get back to default number. [02:59] anarki: are you using compiz? [03:00] yes [03:00] better ask in #compiz-fusion then. their setup messes with KDE's virtual desktops (they have their own way) [03:00] hi guys, does anyone how to "ask for" o recommend a package for the next (or whatever) version of ubuntu? [03:01] thanks jucato [03:02] hmm, i had use build-dep to install all packages required to build something. How can I now uninstall all of them? That was really long list. ;/ [03:03] is there any recommended way to do it? or just wait ;-)? [03:05] antonio_: I'm not sure. you can try asking in #ubuntu-motu and ask if there's a procedure for filing package/update requests [03:05] antonio_: you file a "Needs packaging" bug, create a bug with the title "[Needs Packaging] ....." and say what needs packaging and why you want it [03:05] oh there [03:05] * Jucato shuts up now [03:06] heh [03:06] great! [03:06] thanks [03:06] the motu team will help too, if you ask :) [03:07] if you ask *nicely* :) [03:07] yep [03:07] ;-) === luis is now known as tigremx [03:16] my friend is trying to get his wireless card installed... it's showing up in the network interfaces listing & when he selects it & clicks the 'enable interface' button it goes to a green check for a couple of seconds & then goes back to a red x [03:20] pteague: you aren't using knetworkmanager? [03:24] nosrednaekim: isn't that what gets launched from the tray when you select 'manual configuration'? [03:24] no [03:24] thats different [03:24] htats kcm_netowkrconf [03:24] or something like that [03:25] running knetworkmanager on my box i get nothing [03:26] the thing in your tray is knetworkmanager [03:29] nosrednaekim: ok, use it how? [03:31] nosrednaekim: what i'm saying is that i had him right click on that & go to "manual configuration"... he's having problems setting up his wireless pcmcia card [03:33] pteague: does it detect wireless AP's from within knetorkmanager? [03:34] no because the wireless card is not enabled [03:36] oh.... then you have other problems [03:36] !wireless [03:36] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:36] & going into the manual configuration lists the wireless card, but says it's disabled [03:37] well, unfortunately I have to go [03:37] or i'd hepl you <_< === clifford is now known as yrjokin [03:45] hey pteague, did u find a solution ? [03:48] not yet... we're trying to get to get his win box to do network sharing so he can try to download some packages via a wired connection... & his win box is connected to internet via wireless [03:50] what is your wireless card ? [03:52] what is your wireless card model ? [03:52] he's using a linksys wpc54g something or other... i don't remember if it's the gs or gx [03:53] ok try that : go to /etc/modprobe.d/ [03:53] as root [03:54] heh, now that we got a wired connection i think it was able to install the needed packages cause he said it's now activated his wireless card [03:56] and create file named wpc54g and add these lines to it : alias wlan0 wpc54g options wpc54g disable_hw_scan=1 [03:57] now restart and every thing will be fine [03:57] all he needed was to download the driver package that wasn't on the cd [03:57] ah ok sry :P [03:58] hi [03:58] which is annoying when your internet connection doesn't work ;) [03:59] yes i got this prob b4 and it was very annoying [04:00] but the solution is not to download some packages it was much deeper [04:01] hello all [04:02] I'm looking to dual-boot my intel imac with Kubuntu and WinXP [04:02] don't really know where to start [04:03] anyone have any suggestions? [04:03] thanks. [04:03] ^) [04:03] anarki: yeah, i had some problems with mine as well... looks like 8.04 has changed some things :) [04:03] start with XP [04:04] harumi: bootcamp [04:04] because XP wont let you boot with linux [04:04] mac uses bootcamp for multiboot [04:04] you mean I can't install kubuntu first, wiping all of my current partitions? [04:04] then install XP after? [04:04] I've got boot camp now [04:05] running mac os x 10.5 leopard [04:05] and dual booting XP [04:05] xp destroys the boot portion so your computer doesn't know there's other things to boot [04:05] yes [04:05] ok [04:06] so does this mean that what I'm saying is impossible? [04:06] no but install xp first [04:06] <[Relic]> where's the best place to ask a dev a question? :) [04:06] ok [04:06] but what about all of the boot camp drivers? [04:06] you could install linux to destroy partitions & install win, but you'll have to install linux again [04:07] won't they be useless unless I'm running OSX? [04:07] pteague: can you elaborate a bit please? [04:08] hi i just tried to installkubuntu 8.04 on my machine [04:08] it went thru the installation and then asked me to remove cd [04:09] and machine rebooted and all i got was a blank screen [04:09] harumi, just simply install xp and leave some space (partations) for kubuntu [04:09] also, I don't really know how to install only XP on my machine [04:09] then install kubuntu [04:09] since os x is around [04:10] anarki: should I partition first, before installing XP? [04:10] do u want to remove is os x ? === Igorot is now known as Knightlust === bpeg is now known as Bpeg [04:12] yes [04:12] I don't care for OS X anymore so I'm trashing it [04:12] only interested in kubuntu and xp [04:14] but os x cd and remove its partation [04:14] "but"? [04:15] oh [04:15] boot [04:15] sry [04:15] ok [04:15] np [04:15] xp wont let u to see the mac partation [04:15] that sounds good [04:15] but [04:15] what about those pesky boot camp drivers [04:16] that are installed on my XP installation? [04:17] i dont know really. [04:18] ok [04:18] thanks for the help [04:18] btw leave the mac partation unlocated [04:18] ok [04:20] anyone know a good ide for c/c++. [04:21] does the kubuntu kernel not have lvm built in? [04:22] blistov_, is a linux kernel and yes it supports lvm [04:22] !lvm [04:22] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO [04:24] any idea why my volumes aren't enabled automatically at boot? [04:25] blistov_, ubuntu does not use lvm out of box. [04:25] oic. it automatically does get enabled after i manually enable it once. [04:25] woop. [04:26] I'm so torn between gentoo and kubuntu. [04:26] what do you mean by enable? [04:26] How can I change network settings for Kubuntu 8.04? There doesn't seem to be any application to allow that. [04:26] ie, status enabled [04:26] or started. [04:26] RobotGuy, knetworkmanager or manually or via system settings [04:26] blistov_, status enabled? [04:27] flaccid_: sorry, available. [04:27] flaccid_: System settings doesn't allow changing DNS. [04:27] RobotGuy, yes it does [04:27] blistov_, not sure what you mean in this context but cool [04:27] RobotGuy: use network manager. [04:28] knetworkmanager is all you need really [04:28] flaccid_: I hate sounding like a stoopid noob, I've just become accustomed to the Gentoo way of thinking about stuff. [04:29] flaccid_: is there any manner of utility in Ubuntu, for managing source packages? [04:29] apt [04:29] !adept | blistov_ [04:29] blistov_: adept is the Kubuntu package manager. Howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptHowto [04:29] ie, i need to build a lot of packages with my own options. [04:29] manage them in what way? [04:29] like portage/ebuild tree's. [04:30] nah this is not a source tree based OS [04:30] source is easy, dependancies between binary and source package managers, is not. [04:30] bah. [04:30] may i suggest freebsd if thats what you like or gentoo/gentoobsd obviously :) [04:30] So what does one generally do when you need packages compiled with additional support? [04:30] (don't say use gentoo :) ) [04:31] nothing stopping you from compiling source... [04:31] !build [04:31] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [04:31] yea, but manually building without a dependancy resolution defeats the purpose of using a binary distrobution :p [04:31] I'd just end up installing portage. [04:32] well isnt that my point blistov_ [04:32] i still have no idea what you are trying to achieve but anyway [04:32] I'm impressed with the new kubuntu beta build. This is the first time in my experience with Kubuntu, that it was usable without major modification. [04:33] blistov_, what did you usually have to modify? [04:33] kernel right off the bat. [04:33] ubuntu stock kernels never support any new hardware. [04:33] new being what? [04:33] 1,2,6 months old? [04:33] blistov_, well kernel != userland.. [04:34] 6 months ish. [04:34] and the kernel is linux itself, not ubuntu :) [04:34] ... [04:34] its not the kernel sources that are broken. [04:35] My kernels always support my hardware. [04:36] what hardware did the kernel not support before, that is supported now then? i don't really know the point of this convo heh [04:36] 4 of my nics. [04:36] sas controller. [04:36] er... ahci. [04:36] i have a very very off-topic question. [04:36] how's ubuntu support for additional monitors (a 2nd one) connected to a laptop? [04:36] i'm turning 21 in like 20 minutes. [04:36] if i walk to the liquor store, will the sell to me at like 12:05 on my birthday? [04:36] (may 23rd) [04:36] or will they make me come back the next business day? [04:37] mot_: midnight. [04:37] if you have ID legally you can buy booze i suppose [04:37] yep, i got my over-21 id today. [04:37] Armagguedes, depends on vid driver used [04:37] blistov_, fair enough then. [04:37] flaccid_: I do notice however, that the new nvidia drivers (supporting 9xxx cards) are not available in the repo. [04:38] mot_, what country are you in? [04:38] michigan, US [04:38] flaccid, i'm currently using nvidia's binaries so i can play games at more than 1FPS [04:38] blistov_, yes thats normal. its called release cycle. [04:38] what other country would i have to be 21 in besides...india or ..singapore :P [04:38] flaccid_: I understand that. [04:38] mot_, more than you think [04:38] however the supporting driver has been available for.... 6 months? [04:38] it's it's actually only a few [04:38] i can think of 4-5 [04:39] there are countries where it's illegal (re: saudi arabia) [04:39] but very few countries have a drinking age of 21. [04:39] blistov_, the ubuntu project focuses less on restricted packages. i don't know its that long however, couldn't tell ya [04:39] in a lot of asian countries it's 19, though. [04:39] meh, either way, i'm much more impressed with this release. [04:40] like i said, first time its ever supported my hardware. the only issue i've had is the 6 minute initial boot off the dvd. keeps probing for floppy drives (which seems .... depricated...) [04:40] blistov_, i bought a new 9600GT. i had to use the beta drivers from nvidia.com.. [04:40] flaccid_: you can use the tesla drivers which are stable. [04:40] yeah i do believe they need to fix some stuff with boot processes on the live media [04:41] tesla ppu's are just rebranded 9xxx gpu's. [04:41] blistov_, i don't know what telsa is sorry, link me please. this is a gainward card. the beta driver works fine however. running wow in wine on full res etc. [04:42] tesla is nvidia's physics processor/scientific processor. [04:42] well [04:42] bbl [04:42] but... its just a 9xxx [04:43] nvidia, for some reason, kept the driver compatibility a secret for some reason. [04:43] blistov_, link to the drivers please. how are they dif from nvidia beta and who makes these drivers? [04:43] nvidia. [04:43] oh sorry, its the quadro driver that i was using, which used to be the tesla drvier [04:44] http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us [04:44] I did not find anything that lets me set my network settings for eth0, DNS, gateway, etc. [04:44] RobotGuy, its in manual configuration [04:44] RobotGuy: kicker, right click network manager, manual config. [04:45] How not intuitive could that be? [04:45] intuition is subject to the end user [04:45] There ought to be a settings applet in system settings for network. [04:46] I guess there could be a button labeled "automatic nic config (manual settings)" [04:46] :) [04:46] wait.... "automatic nic configuration (but not actually automatic)" [04:47] that doesn't make sense. you either click on your network or click wired or goto manual... [04:47] RobotGuy, and as i said before there is an applet in system settings for network [04:47] flaccid_: It belongs in System Settings like it was in 7.10 [04:48] I was wondering if anyone here uses kubuntu and the microsoft wireless media keyboard? [04:48] flaccid_: There is NOT. There is nothing in that network applet that allows changing network settings (IP, gateway, DNS, etc) [04:48] I have an interesting problem related to kubuntu and the M$ wireless media keyboard [04:49] Linux doesn't support DRM :) [04:49] RobotGuy, ubuntu version please and kde version [04:49] your M$ encryptorz is incompatible. [04:50] when I hit one of the media buttons, all keyboard input stops. I CAN however switch to a virtual terminal (ctrl - alt - f1) and restart X (crtl - alt -backspace) [04:50] flaccid_: Kubuntu 8.04, KDE 4.x [04:50] once in the VT, the keyboard works perfectly, but when I switch back to my KDE session, none of the standard keys work [04:51] get a new keyboard? [04:51] try logitech [04:51] RobotGuy, wrong channel. #kubuntu-kde4. knetworkmanager from kde3 is what you use however. manual configuration from right click [04:51] Armagguedes: its brand new [04:52] flaccid_: I did not see any knetworkmanager at all. [04:52] Right click what? [04:52] RobotGuy, run it from alt+f2 first. [04:52] its a tray icon [04:53] I am guessing that X is having some problem with the keys and not recovering from it [04:54] or maybe I am way off [04:54] i have no idea [04:54] my keyboard works (most media keys don't i think) [04:54] btw, who actually makes MS keyboards? [04:55] Armagguedes: but it never stops taking input when you hit a media key right? [04:55] are they actually MS or are they re-branded? [04:55] I think logitech does [04:55] no it just ignores the keystroke [04:56] so this is the first you have heard of this problem [05:00] Could someone please read this and try to help? :( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=804121 [05:01] So.. I accidentally made all the menus (file, edit, etc) go away in kopete, and the user that uses it is lost without it... anyone know how to make it come back? [05:03] vellakd: this is the wrong answer, but delete the kopeterc [05:03] or edit it to put the menu back. [05:03] Hmm... [05:03] alright... [05:03] there's a shortcut key to show the key again, but i don't remember it. [05:03] ctrl+m [05:03] :) [05:03] yay [05:04] I had hoped there was something like that, but I'm not afraid of editing the file. [05:04] great success for me. [05:04] Oh? >,> [05:04] yea yea. [05:04] Yes! [05:04] Thank you so much! [05:04] as i have a working menu, i thought to myself "self, you can use the menu to navigate to the shortcuts option" [05:04] also, you can always view your keyboard shortcuts from kcontrol. [05:05] its under accessability. [05:06] Ah. [05:06] Well, thanks anyway. [05:07] knetworkmanager will not launch. [05:07] Well, with that done, I can finally get to bed. Now all I have to do is finish testing that vpn client for him, and I'll be done with his silly request for probably another month or so... ;) [05:07] RobotGuy, run it from konsole, what is the output? [05:08] flaccid_: I tried running it from konsole. Nothing, no error, not a single peep. [05:08] RobotGuy, it probably loaded into systray. check by looking and also ps aux | grep knetworkmanager [05:09] flaccid_: It was already in the sys tray. I tried right clicking it and selecting manual configuration. It asks for my password, I enter it, and then nothing. [05:10] RobotGuy, goto the kmenu and in search type in system settings, do you get kde3 system settings as well? [05:10] This is a fresh install [05:10] flaccid_: I do not see kde3 system settings [05:10] np one sec [05:11] RobotGuy, dpkg -l | grep network-manager-kde please [05:12] hello, is there a way to specify files/folders that are created by me under a particular folder to be a certain group? [05:13] flaccid_: I have to reboot to get back into Kubuntu. I won't remember that command by the time I get into Linux. :( :( [05:13] Writing it down [05:13] RobotGuy, basically you probably need to install kde-systemsettings and use that [05:14] or manual config in /etc/network/interfaces for system instead of user network config [05:14] No network access [05:14] edit /etc/network/interfaces manually === teste is now known as Bugs_Bunnybr [05:15] I'll just dl a new CD image of regular 8.04 and see if that works. No KDE4. [05:15] hello there..how I can go to the kubuntu-br ?? [05:15] RobotGuy, these examples at the top here are pretty basic: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [05:16] RobotGuy, a lot of effort for something simple to fix [05:16] /j #kuntuntu-br ... Bugs_Bunnybr [05:16] thanks [05:17] flaccid_: I know about /etc/network/interfaces [05:18] RobotGuy, rightio. it also be good to see what command is launched when it goes to manual configuration, run that in konsole manually and see what the actual problem is why it can't go to the gui for manual config === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [05:25] hey..someone here know`s some thing about the permissons in the ubuntu?? I created one user who dont belongs to any group..and he can do to many things..like acess internet and acess pen drivers.. [05:26] the right is..if you belong to the group plugdev..you can acess tem remontable media..if you arent in this group..you dont have the permissons to acess the pen drivers.. [05:26] someone can give me a ligth?? [05:26] Bugs_Bunnybr, kubuntu version? [05:27] yes [05:27] 8.04 [05:28] $ id [05:28] uid=1001(teste) gid=1001(teste) groups=1001(teste) [05:28] $ [05:28] so whats the specific problem with this user? [05:29] add secondary group plugdev and dialout? [05:29] he has to many power...by the rules of linux..he cant handle pen drivers.. [05:29] not [05:30] he just belongs to the owner group [05:30] a just type useradd -m teste [05:30] exactly. you need to add teste to plugdev and dialout groups. [05:30] !gropus [05:30] Factoid gropus not found [05:30] !groups [05:30] Factoid groups not found [05:30] dang [05:30] and edited the /etc/group to keep sure if he belongs to other group [05:31] yayyy... after the latest update and reboot, my question marks have become icons in the K-menu =) [05:31] thank you developers [05:32] Bugs_Bunnybr, you don't edit /etc/group directly. and its based off the login shell as well. [05:32] sorry I can`t understand.. [05:33] Bugs_Bunnybr, if you edited it correctly, you may need to logout and log back in again. otherwise go into system settings and make sure the user is in those groups. verify by going to konsole and typing the command groups [05:33] I will logout and comeback here right now! [05:33] one secund please [05:34] ok === teste is now known as Bugs_Bunnybr [05:38] well..I rebooted my machine [05:38] and I am with the user ..and I can acess the pen drive [05:39] what is wrong with this user? [05:39] uid=1001(teste) gid=1001(teste) groups=1001(teste) [05:40] he don`t belongs to any group of users..is not in the plugdev and still can acess the pen drive [05:40] kubuntu don`t respect the group rules? [05:41] Bugs_Bunnybr, like i said goto system settings and make sure the user is in those groups. [05:42] !paste [05:42] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:44] sorry but I am not a irc user.. [05:44] someone here has msn? [05:45] Bugs_Bunnybr: if you want to paste multiple lines use the pastbin service ... [05:45] we don't use msn support. we have irc. [05:45] how I can use the pastbin > [05:45] ? [05:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com [05:46] paste here and send us the http [05:46] you don't need it Bugs_Bunnybr . goto system settings | users and groups and fix it up there [05:47] look the /etc/group [05:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14005/ [05:47] is in this way ? [05:47] yes [05:47] thinks all [05:47] thanks all* [05:49] Bugs_Bunnybr, its incorrect. please use the gui in system settings [05:50] see ..teh user teste ..isn`t in the audio group..but I am listen music [05:50] not [05:50] what is wrong [05:50] ? [05:50] i've said it 3 times. goto system settings [05:50] ok [05:51] waht do you wannt i see in the system settings ? [05:52] I cliked in user manager and see the teste user [05:52] add it to secondary groups plugdev and dialout === eagle_ is now known as eagle__ [05:52] in secundary groups..is clear [05:52] atm yes [05:52] what is atm? [05:53] has a way to show a print screen? [05:53] at the moment [05:53] hum [05:53] you need to add groups plugdev and dialout to this user [05:55] I am not here to know what is needed to acess the pen drive...I am here to say..my kubuntu is acessim the pen drive ..but the user is not in the plugdev group..so some thing is wrong [05:56] Bugs_Bunnybr, nothing is wrong. you added the user by cli which by default doesn't set secondary groups. [05:56] I am listen to music ..without to be in the audio group [05:56] i dont' know why that is possible [05:57] I added the user by useradd-m teste [05:57] not by the gui [05:57] i know. [05:58] so where I can see this config where talk to the system "you can acess the remontable media" [05:58] uhauhauha [05:59] if isnt in the /etc/group..I dont know [05:59] i dont understand you. [05:59] sorry..english is not my first lang [06:01] in others distros...I just remove the login name of the user from the line of the group in the /etc/group and the user losts the permissions [06:01] but i am lsot here [06:01] can anyone point me where kubuntu stores its icon themes? i installed the kde-icons-oxygen package, but nothing shows up in 'system settings>Appearance>icons' ...maybe the path to which the deb installed is wrong? [06:01] thats not the correct way to modify groups for a user Bugs_Bunnybr [06:01] but i am lost here [06:01] so tell how [06:02] Bugs_Bunnybr, usermod generally: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-add-user-to-group/ [06:03] look man..dont matter the gui or program you use to add or remove a user of a group..the program just add the name of the user or remove the name from the /etc/group [06:03] hi [06:04] to do the test by yourself [06:04] I just checked Adept Updater and it said there are 45 packages that need to be updated. Are they for KDE 3.5 still, or is it trying to upgrade me to KDE 4.0 ? [06:04] Bugs_Bunnybr, you didn't edit /etc/group correctly. [06:04] where is worng?

[15:06] tortoisehead: you can set Domino to either use its your colors for tooltips or not [15:06] genii: ooooor do you use kde3 more because of the stability factor? [15:06] shane_2_peru: Yes. [15:06] genii: stability then, I assume was the yes. [15:07] genii: thanks for the info, I guess since I can run them both, I will have to give kde4 a try. :) Thanks for the input everyone. [15:07] KDE 4.1 is actually pretty stable now and a lot of features have been added to Plasma that *almost* makes it useable. It's really only Plasma (and kdepim... and kopete...) that are "not there yet" [15:07] shane_2_peru: Stability mostly at this point, yes. Also functionality as the plasma/widget system is not quite what it could be yet [15:07] genii: plasma, wooow, I thought that was a TV lol [15:08] !plasma [15:08] Factoid plasma not found [15:08] hmm [15:08] I don't even think I used widgets in Gnome, just conky [15:08] kde4 support in #kubuntu-kde4 [15:08] ok, thanks all, I will have to check out this kde4 stuff. [15:09] shane_2_peru: Plasma is more than just "widgets" (although the theme is "everything is a widget"). It completely replaces KDesktop and Kicker (the panel) [15:09] so Plasma *is* the desktop and the panel. [15:09] how I can search for channels about ubuntu? [15:09] (but flaccid's right... #kubuntu-kde4) [15:09] Jucato: is plasma in kde4 or kde3? I may have to google that. [15:10] shane_2_peru: KDE 4. it replaces KDE 3's KDesktop (desktop) and Kicker (panel) [15:10] Jucato: ahh, ok, now that makes a little more sense [15:11] what is the channel in portuguese Brasil of kubuntu ? [15:12] !br [15:12] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.

Also see http://tinyurl.com/2x7qsh [15:49] what is the cd (data) burning utility called? [15:49] !k3b | jabba [15:49] jabba: k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto [15:50] flaccid: gracias [15:50] np [15:50] Why doesn't Kubuntu come with Synaptic Package Manager? Is that considered only a Gnome app? And is the Adept Manager just as good? [15:50] how about ripping video-cd's? [15:50] Synaptic is Gnome's package manager. [15:50] Steve-cal: mine has it...? [15:51] Steve-cal: yeah adept is fine as well [15:51] we have a big collection of karaoke vcd's and rest of the family would like to have those in the harddisk [15:51] jabba: Am I being dumb and totally missing it? I just clean installed Kubuntu 8.04 and I don't see it in the menus. Where do I find it? [15:52] oilinki: um not sure, but you might be able to just copy the files over for those [15:52] Steve-cal: mine lives under the System menu. [15:52] but i'm on kde4/adm64 [15:52] amd, too [15:52] flaccid: as ISO image? that would be the best but at least K9copy could not do it. [15:53] k9copy is great as it's so easy to use (my wife like to rip her own stuff as well) [15:53] oilinki: isn't vcd just mpeg and so forth. can't you just copy the files and play with kaffeine or vlc? [15:53] depends if it has copy protection i guess [15:53] !vcd [15:53] Factoid vcd not found [15:53] hmm [15:53] flaccid: I could try to do so. [15:54] there's a little more to it, but not much [15:54] the iso image format is still the best as it's easy to open and use with kaffeine and vlc [15:54] however, if it's a typical karaoke, it's cd+g rather than vcd, which gets a little trickier [15:54] Daisuke-Laptop: what is cd+g? [15:55] ah. wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD%2BG [15:55] Just to clarify--does Kubuntu just come with Konqueror? I thought it would also come with Firefox like Ubuntu, but no? [15:56] Steve-cal: just konqueror, but you can always sudo apt-get install firefox :) [15:59] Daisuke-Laptop: Thanks. :) [16:00] In my System menu, if I run "Adept Manager" nothing happens. It's entry under Menu Editor shows it is only being run as "apept_manager" and not as root (with kdesu)--what's with this? === jorhumcc is now known as kuadrosx [16:04] Is there anyone else here who has freshly installed kubuntu 8.04? I checked in Adept Manager and Synaptic is not installed. Doesn't Synaptic come with Kubuntu? [16:05] Steve-cal: No, Synaptic comes with Gnome. [16:06] Pici: OK, so Adept is Synaptic's equivalent? And if so, any chance you can answer my question of why it is not run as root from my System menu? [16:07] Steve-cal: Yes, they are equivalent, but I'm not much of a KDE person, I'm not sure why that would be happening. [16:09] Steve-cal: you can run it with "kdesudo adept_manager" [16:09] if its not working... [16:10] nosrednaekim: Yes, thanks I know that, but that's why I don't understand why it isn't run as root from my K menu--must be a mistake. [16:10] Hi! I installed sun-java5-plugin, but it does not show up in firefox 2 (about:plugins) [16:10] Mac40DO: forget it... it won't work [16:11] even if you install from Sun page [16:11] I'm here for over a month trying to see anyone that got it working, without success...

[16:11] Mac40DO: it seems ff3 works [16:11] but I'm not sure [16:11] I haven't installed it [16:12] guilhermeblanco: possible, but I need the firebug addon for firefox for development reasons. [16:12] me 2 [16:12] And firegub is not ff3 ready [16:12] firebug [16:12] that's why I haven't installed it too [16:13] but kubuntu works ok with both versions installed [16:13] one is called firefox-2 and the other is only firefox [16:13] guilhermeblanco: ok, thanx === emonkey-t is now known as emonkey [16:16] you're welcome....

[17:27] Hmm, can't remember... haven't been following it much, tbh [17:27] How can I completely remove openoffice? [17:27] no idea :< [17:28] oh well I'd like to reinstall it [17:28] apt-get purge openoffice? [17:28] i've only use apt-get remove [17:28] and then apt-get autoremove [17:28] i dunno how effective that actually is [17:28] the package doesn exist :p [17:29] it's called "openoffice.org" [17:29] OH, and best IM client for Kubuntu? Virtualising windows just for miranda probably isn't very good <_< [17:29] pim: sudo apt-get remove --purge openoffice.org [17:30] Pey: i use pidgin [17:30] Gotcha [17:30] qualcuno parla italiano?? [17:30] !it | biagio [17:30] biagio: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [17:31] come si fa ad andarci? [17:31] grazie [17:31] genii it says that openoffice.org isn installed [17:31] whats a good app to set up compiz? [17:32] pim: Then just do the install as you were wanting then, eg: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org === jeff_ is now known as Steve-cal [17:32] genii , but OpenOffice is installed on my system [17:32] plut0nash: compizconfig-settings-manager is package, run it by name ccsm [17:33] but Iḿ installing now [17:34] thanks [17:34] I fresh installed Kubuntu 8.04, and some things don't seem to be right: I can't run either Adept Manager or Add/Removes Programs from the K menu because neither of them is set up to run as root, according to their menu entries (no kdesu in front). Is this a mistake/bug? [17:34] pim: even --purge won't remove files in your home directory, thats likely what you are seeing there [17:36] hello all, is it possible to move a svn local copy to another user? [17:36] well Iḿ afraid that the spellcheck still isn't working [17:36] does anyone have an idea how to make it work? [17:36] :> it's done [17:36] now, to erase, and burn === blubb is now known as Phlogi [17:37] pim: What dictionary did you tell it to use?

[17:41] yes [17:41] and you broke it? [17:41] sometimes it frezzed [17:41] at the start [17:41] haha [17:41] my title bars just disappeared [17:41] the same as in Windows [17:41] genii Thanks, you're the best! [17:42] * genii sips his coffee [17:42] i think i test a new CPU tomorrow [17:42] or i bring it to a support center === jorhumcc is now known as kuadrosx [17:43] so... i am away... i'am going to Disco ^^ [17:43] Rock4Life [17:43] bye [17:43] cucu [17:44] and thx 4 support [17:44] I was wondering if anyone could point me to very specific instructions on how to set up a web server and nameserver for kubuntu .. such as Nameserver for Dummies or something. I'm brand new to linux. Also is there any program like cPanel for kubuntu that is free? Thanks [17:44] no problem ;-) [17:44] cu [17:45] hi, am running kde 4 but when I ran some updated, my taskbar is gone, how do I get it back? [17:47] DarkJustice: They will likely be better able to assist with that in #ubuntu-server [17:47] Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me troubleshoot a sound problem I am having. Lastnight I installed kubuntu 8.04, clicked the sound test button and i heard it playback, but this morning no sound! :( [17:47] ahh thank you genii [17:47] DarkJustice: np [17:47] michael_ didn you pull out a plug or something? [17:47] laptop, no plugs :) [17:48] Sorry, I had to ask :P [17:48] pim: no prob :) frustrating when things just change! [17:49] Hi all, i'm afraid my situation is ~ the same as michael_ ; Kubuntu 8.04 and no sound here. pulseaudio is able to start, I can play some music with mplayer or anything, and I get no error message, but my soundcard remains silent... [17:49] yeah, amarok seems to play, but no sound [17:49] ngirard: i'd appreciate some thoughts, too ;-) [17:50] ack, now i have two screensavers fighting [17:51] I fresh installed Kubuntu 8.04, and some things don't seem to be right: I can't run either Adept Manager or Add/Removes Programs from the K menu because neither of them is set up to run as root, according to their menu entries (no kdesu in front). Is this a mistake/bug? === brandon__ is now known as twiztr [17:54] Steve-cal: is this a new problem or the same problem? [17:54] Steve-cal: Possibly this one if you had something running as sudo in terminal/konsole https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/72545 [17:54] Launchpad bug 72545 in kdebase "kdesu fails when invoked immediately after sudo from terminal (dup-of: 50971)" [Undecided,Invalid] [17:54] Launchpad bug 50971 in kdebase "kdesu will not start apps" [High,Confirmed] [17:55] or the second one mentioned [17:56] jabba, genii: Same problem, I just don't understand why under a *fresh install* the Adept and Add/Remove programs won't even load from the menu since they aren't run as root. Did I forget to set something in the installation or something? [17:57] Steve-cal: Perhaps investigate the bug 50971, it seems most likely to be the problem [17:57] Launchpad bug 50971 in kdebase "kdesu will not start apps" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/50971 [17:58] genii: But that's not really the problem--if I open the Menu Editor, it shows that Adept Manager is run simply with the command "adept_manager" and not "kdesu adept_manager"--do you see what I mean? It's not even set up correctly to begin with, so of course it doesn't work. [18:00] what plugin is required to make the myspace music work in konqueror? [18:02] when i start my computer my grub screen gives me like 2 options of which kubuntu i wana run how do i remove one? [18:02] it says 2.6.24-16 generic and 2.6.22-14 generic [18:02] i wana remove 2.6.22-14 generic [18:03] mani213: You can edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst--it's all in there. [18:03] how do i do that? [18:03] type that in the start upo screen? [18:03] mani213: Are you logged into Kubuntu right now? [18:03] yep [18:03] Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me troubleshoot a sound problem I am having. Lastnight I installed kubuntu 8.04, clicked the sound test button and i heard it playback, but this morning no sound! :( [18:04] do i go consol? [18:04] konsol [18:04] mani213: Yes, open a Konsole first. [18:04] okay now [18:05] type in /boot/grub/menu.lst? [18:05] sudo /boot/grub/menu.lst? [18:05] mani213: Then type "sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.5-23-08" [18:06] mani213: That makes a backup of your menu.lst.. [18:06] mani213: Did that work so far? [18:06] i typed it in [18:06] sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.5-23-08 [18:06] mani213@mani213-desktop:~$ [18:06] mani213@mani213-desktop:~$ [18:06] thats all it says [18:07] mani213: OK, that's good... hang on... [18:07] okay [18:07] mani213: type "sudo kate /boot/grub/menu.lst" [18:08] does anyone here use openvpn? [18:08] sudo kate /boot/grub/menu.lst [18:08] mani213: Did it pull up the file? [18:08] Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-mani213" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. [18:08] Error: "/tmp/kde-mani213" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. [18:08] Error: "/tmp/ksocket-mani213" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. [18:08] thats what i get [18:08] and a new window opens [18:08] called menu.list kate [18:09] mani213: you mean menu.lst? Does it show the contents or is it blank? [18:09] it shows the content [18:09] so would i delet the title root info for the ones i dont need? [18:10] mani213: No, just comment them out--put a # in front of them. [18:10] title Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic [18:10] root (hd0,5) [18:10] kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=e0007257-36e0-476c-95dd-58c12be80145 ro quiet splash [18:10] initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic [18:10] quiet [18:10] how would i do that one [18:10] just put # sign? [18:11] mani213: Yes, but a # sign in front of all of those lines. [18:11] oh okay [18:11] If you insert a # in fromnt of a line you comment it out [18:11] !paste | mani213 [18:11] mani213: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [18:11] what would happen if i delet the line wouldnt it work out to be the same? [18:12] probably, but then you wouldn be able to reset the option [18:12] so it's better to comment it out [18:12] mani213: Yes, but it's safer just to comment them out so you can easily add it later if you need to. [18:12] pim: Thanks. ;) [18:13] mani213: Did you do that? [18:13] ye [18:13] do i just close the menu list [18:13] ? [18:13] or do i save then [18:13] exit? [18:13] * jabba pets compiz [18:13] mani213: Be sure to save it and then exit. [18:14] okay [18:14] i guess let me try to restart it now [18:14] ill brb thanks for the help [18:14] mani213: You're good to go, just reboot and you won't see it there anymore. [18:14] thanks alot [18:14] mani213: No problem. :) [18:18] What's the difference between kate and gedit? [18:18] kate for KDE and gedit for Gnome? [18:18] kate is really good i love it [18:19] What's better about it over gedit? [18:22] pim: just personal preference, im sure they have a lot of the same features [18:23] what command lists all processes running? [18:24] pstree pim [18:24] and kill kils a proces? [18:24] pim: kill pid or killall processname [18:25] thanks! === roberto_ is now known as rmribeiro [18:28] OK, I have a process that's running in the background that I need to kill. How would I do this? === sarath is now known as sarath_ [18:29] database: killall , or if you already know the pid, kill [18:29] Ah, thank you. [18:29] there's also pkill but that's not as portable [18:29] Hmm... [18:29] How do you get a list of processes? [18:30] pstree [18:31] Thanks. [18:32] God afternoon. I have a laptop with kubuntu 7.10 installed. The wireless connection used to work, until I had to mess it up with manual settings in knetworkmanager. No I doesn't work any more. No wireless networks show up. I thought it might be a userproblem, but its not. It affected all users. Do anyone have any suggestons? [18:34] Dinithion: I can help with that :-) [18:34] Dinithion maybe you should try #networking [18:34] oh well tekteen can do it apparantly :) [18:35] Dinithion: do you know how to open a text editer with root? [18:35] That would be great. I've been scratching my head for some days now :P [18:35] tekteen Oh yes. Im a slacker, my girlfriend use kubuntu ;P [18:35] ok [18:36] I need to know :-) [18:36] anyway, please pastebin /etc/network/interfaces === andrzej is now known as andrzej__ [18:37] Dinithion: do you know what pastebin is? (have to ask) [18:38] tekteen Yeah. Give me to more seconds :) [18:38] ok [18:38] http://pastebin.com/d1b97439 [18:39] there we go. Whats comented out is what it was yesterday, and the uncomented lines are the ones I tried adding to get it working [18:39] Hi, i have a problem with installing a tar.gz archive. ists unpacked correctly, but neither with kpackage, nor in the terminal, i can install it.... in the terminal, the command ./configure doesnt work, [18:40] Dinithion: is eth1 the wifi? [18:40] thats from my terminal http://www.pastebin.org/38016 [18:41] tekteen Yes, it is [18:41] ok [18:41] take out the last line [18:41] "iface eth1 inet dhcp" is the problem === derdui_ is now known as derdui [18:42] is dd what is used to make an initramdisk from a root tree?

Thanks a lot, mate :D [18:42] Dinithion: I am going to see if I can make up a factoid for this and submit it for the bot :-). It seems like a common mistake. [18:42] i have a problem installing kubuntu kde4.. when its trying to start the X, my monitor says that the resolution is invalid and after that the screen goes blank.. im using nvidia 6600gt [18:43] Dinithion: np [18:44] tekteen All the time I've wasted for one stupid line :P [18:44] yep [18:44] happens to me all the time [18:44] I had the problme for a while ago aswell, but that time I got it working by googling. This time I couldn't find back to that page. [18:45] lol [18:45] there should be an easy way to fix it [18:45] should I submit it as a bug? [18:45] Perhaps. I don't know if the bug stil exists in 8.04 thoe. [18:46] Dinithion: I am sure it does :-( [18:46] I will test it then submit a report [18:47] Yes, I think you should do that. I searched around on ubuntus pages, but I couldn't find nothing. [18:47] aplay -l shows my sound card is installed, alsamixer shows volume is 100% and not muted, i cant hear sound though, does anyone know what could be wrong? [18:47] Hi all, i'm on Kubuntu 8.04 and cannot get pulseaudio to produce any sound. oss works though, but not pulseaudio. [18:47] pulseaudio is able to start, I can play some music with mplayer or anything, and I get no error message, but my soundcard remains silent... [18:48] ngirard: if you run the command pulseaudio is there an error? [18:48] do you know if there is known problems with kubuntu kde4 + nvidia ? [18:49] tekteen: seems not. I can pastebin the output if you want [18:49] no thanks [18:49] i suggest that ubuntu set firefox's default sans, serif and mono fonts as bitstream vera ones [18:49] I can not fix my own pulseaudio which gives a tun of errors [18:50] tekteen Well, thanks again. Now I can spin of to Indiana Jones and actually concentrate on the movie :) [18:50] tekteen: perhaps you would know this: is this mandatory to start pulseaudio by hand ? What is the mandate way of having pulseaudio started with a kde4 session ? [18:50] Dinithion: lol [18:51] ngirard: it should start on boot [18:51] there is an init script [18:52] or if it is like kde3 you can put a script to run it in the background in .kde4/Autostart [18:52] tekteen: well, mine didn't start on boot, but i'll add the init script to the active ones, thanks for your feedback [18:53] np [18:54] tekteen: Well, where would you advice me to ask about my problem ? in pulseaudio mailing-lists ? in ubuntu forums ? [18:55] ngirard: you can also go to #pulseaudio [18:55] both of the others also work === pascalFR is now known as PascalFR [18:55] tekteen: oh, thanks again, i hadn't thought about this possibility.

[19:29] maybe you have still got firefox2 on your system: sudo apt-get remove firefox2 [19:29] I mean [19:29] could someone tell me the channel to get help with k3b [19:29] reboot [19:29] no I've accidentally downloaded the beta [19:29] ah [19:30] I used: apt-get install firefox [19:30] and I got the beta [19:30] firefox-2 is the package name BTW [19:30] yarr [19:30] well then I'll have to install that [19:31] how did yo ufind out? [19:31] is anyone here using kubuntu 8.04 with kde4? [19:31] hi [19:31] kalib: yes, but there is a kubuntu-kde4 channel [19:31] kalib: what's the question? [19:31] prior to installing gusty firefox played youtube quite smoothly. what am i missing / [19:31] greeg: flash? [19:32] not exactly question.. just wanna discuss about it... bugs, etc... but i guess this is not the better place to do it... like u said... we hav a specific channel... [19:32] i didn't know about it...sorry ;] [19:32] kalib: bugs, yes. [19:32] which package ? [19:32] kalib: i use it all day on three machines, and i don't have any real issues with it, but then i can usually fix stuff if it gets broke. [19:32] kalib: is there anything in specific you're looking for? [19:33] could someone tell me the channel to get help with k3b [19:33] jabba, i did install it today... i was using.. but i didn't like... it has some problems... [19:33] kalib: the biggest problem i had with it was getting glx set up and compiz, but that's hardly fatal. [19:33] for example... [19:33] does rsync show the directory size?? [19:33] hi [19:34] in my kde 3.5... i'm using gkrellm...with a transparent theme... [19:34] in kde 4 it's not working... the transparent isn't transparent... [19:35] whats gkrellm? [19:35] and i do like to use yakuake, as my default terminal... i do use it transparent to in my kde 3.5... but in kde4, the transparence is not working on it too [19:35] nosrednaekim: gnome app [19:35] nosrednaekim, app with some issues... like system monitor, clock, mail..etc.. [19:36] kalib: yeah..... I've noticed that too.... [19:36] kalib: i use yakuake just fine on mine. [19:36] kalib: is compiz set up correctly? [19:36] glx? [19:36] except with PSI [19:37] jabba, well... in my kde3.5 is working fine... in kde4 was supposed to be the same, right!? [19:37] i'm not using compiz...i don't like the effects.. [19:37] in my kde3.5 it's disabled [19:37] kalib: i started with hardy/kde3 and upgraded to kde4 with apt-get install kde4 [19:37] i did the same... aptitude install kde4 [19:37] kubuntu-kde4-desktop [19:37] kalib: well, i use compiz and the closed nvidia drivers [19:38] i got it...but... [19:38] if it's working on kde 3.5, it was supposed to work on kde4, right!? [19:38] cause the system is the same.. [19:38] kalib: never a safe assumption :) [19:38] at this momment i'm using 3.5, cause i had these kind of problems with kde4 [19:39] kalib: They are not anywhere near the same now [19:39] nope didnt werk. i installed libflash-mozplugin and swfdec-mozilla and youtube still plays choppy as hell [19:39] im gonna try mozilla-plugin-gnash [19:41] wait a minute... i'll restart my session... to kde4...

[19:46] pim: Steam works under wine, yes [19:46] it seems kubuntu by default does not provide a k menu item for kcontrol, isn't it? [19:46] greeg: If it's the same file you keep trying to play there perhaps it's the codec they used to encode it [19:47] yao_ziyuan: right click on the panel and add it [19:49] there was a visual effect: when i click the K menu or the System Menu, [19:49] the K icon or the System icon would enlarge and fade out [19:49] now i lost this effect [19:49] how do i get it back? [19:50] someone just tell me the goddamn package to install to have youtube play NOT choppy.

[20:21] Yeah, someone told me how but it didn't do anything so I'm not sure if it was right.. How exactly do I go along doing htat? [20:21] ThreeFinity: yeah, there's a bug that makes compiling modules on 64-bit a pain in the ass [20:22] the first problem i had with it was building the nvidia driver. [20:22] really? see i have no problems [20:22] the problem is the `arch` command doesn't return what they expect. [20:22] austin: from commandline should be something like: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install --reinstall ddccontrol-db [20:22] adz21c: are you compiling your own kernel modulse?

I'm new to Linux so.. I'm really stupid with that type of stuff. [20:29] austin: Search google for the make and model of your monitor and try to discover it's settings.
