[00:00] He said easy [00:00] * Dragnslcr ducks [00:00] thanks [00:00] Dragnslcr: such lack of humour =) [00:00] word- for simple stuff, you'll probably find nano best [00:00] how can i tell what userlevel i'm in? [00:00] lema [00:01] Dragnslcr: i meant it goes through and replaces all references to eg, gutsy with hardy [00:01] without ever having to open a text editor [00:01] messes up 3rd party sources most of the time, but it's easier for regular folk ;p [00:02] so instead of dapper, I should put hardy? [00:02] yes [00:06] how can i tell what runlevel i'm in? [00:06] can someone tell me what option to use to mount a drive when it says Extended for type? === ubuntu is now known as Anyday [00:07] just type "runlevel" [00:07] mountain-linux: runlevel ? lol [00:09] Thank you, [00:09] how can i change from N 2 to level 3 [00:11] sudo telinit 3 [00:12] Thank you, [00:12] how can i start or restart the virtual terminals? [00:17] how can i start or restart the text consoles [00:17] screen? [00:21] <_job_> maybe just logout and log back in? [00:21] * genii puts on another pot of coffee [00:21] mountain-linux: not sure if that can be done, but if it's a framebuffer issue, you could look here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer [00:22] mountain-linux: do you see the kubuntu startup screens now? [00:22] ie, the progress bar etc [00:22] if not, it's a FB issue and you could just disable it as that page explains or configure it [00:23] i get the startup screen, login on tty7, but no status on tty8 or no text consoles on tty1 - tty6 [00:25] this happened after the 7.10 update. [00:25] uhmpf [00:25] so i want knotes to run on startup. i achieved that, but for some reason it pops up every time i boot in. on my desktop, it chooses the last note i created. my laptop doesn't have any notes on it, and it generates a new one every time. how can i prevent this from occuring? [00:25] that's... where was taht [00:29] mountain-linux: can you check /etc/inittab? [00:29] at the end of the file, do you have some getty lines for tty2 tty3 tty4...? [00:29] like this: [00:29] 2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 [00:29] 3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3 [00:31] mountain-linux: that means the getty will be run at runlevels 2 and 3 [00:31] for tty2 and tty3 [00:31] the first digit must correspond to the tty? number [00:31] there is no inittab file or folder [00:31] uh? a second [00:32] just init.d [00:32] that may explain, dpkg -S claims it doesn't belong to anybody [00:32] mountain-linux: a second. I'll upload a copy for you [00:36] uga: I have no inittab yet have all consoles available. I doubt this is the issue [00:36] genii: that's what's meant to init the gettys though, they removed it? [00:36] I'm pretty sure this box was installed in 7.x from ubuntu [00:36] uga: Like I said. Doesn't exist here yet they all work here [00:36] and later upgraded to version 8 [00:37] genii: so what does startup the getty now, then ;) [00:37] !upstart [00:37] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [00:37] There ya go [00:37] ^^^^^ [00:37] uga, is compatible w/7.10 [00:37] genii: ubuntu still depends on system v heavily [00:38] Thanks Jucato [00:38] mountain-linux: that's what I have in 8.x [00:38] Jucato: genii: bootlog fails working unless you install system v init system still [00:38] whoever did the migration didn't do a too correct one [00:39] so I wouldn't be surprised to see more of this [00:39] upstart isn't completely finished yet so I think the init stuff is still there to help transition [00:39] I see what now [00:39] mountain-linux: how about /etc/event.d/tty2 and tty3 etc? [00:39] but *buntu practically uses upstart with a bit of sys v init [00:39] bit? =) [00:39] it still does runlevels =) [00:40] gentoo had named levels around 4 years ago or more [00:41] yes, and rc1 -6 [00:41] Jucato: would you be surprised that even now, it read inittab when booting up? [00:41] hi [00:42] anyone home? [00:42] mountain-linux: each of them should have a list of runlevels to start [00:42] mountain-linux: like "start on runlevel 2" [00:42] later, respawn [00:42] and the instruction on how to run getty: [00:42] exec /sbin/getty 38400 tty2 [00:43] ok, i'll look at them [00:43] you should have tty2 3 etc, starting on runlevels 2 and 3 [00:43] ie, the files should contain: [00:43] start on runlevel 2 [00:43] start on runlevel 3 [00:44] i'm not sure where to start i am having a little trouble installing Kubuntu 8 [00:44] .04 === roberto is now known as rmribeiro [00:44] genii: Jucato: and upstart seems completely undocumented [00:44] real bad [00:45] in their website? *shrugs* [00:45] * Jucato stays away from init stuff as much as he can [00:45] this is what I found http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html [00:45] yes, its in the file [00:45] I had missed that link first [00:46] mountain-linux: not sure, but maybe you could try running getty manually? [00:46] anybody know if compiz work good with ati 9250 [00:46] how is that done ? [00:46] anyone recommend an app to print photo's on 4x6 photo paper? The print wizard in gwenview doesn't handle the paper size, and editing each one with gimp to print what I want on the right size gets tedious. [00:46] sudo start tty1 ? [00:46] mountain-linux: running what those files say, at the end, with exec getty... [00:47] getty is a command [00:47] similar to 'konsole' but runs on your tty [00:47] ok, getty tty1 ? [00:47] mountain-linux: what part of "what those files say" didn't you understand =) [00:48] follow the command you saw on the /etc/event.d [00:48] it's got more params [00:48] looks like the files are correct [00:48] mountain-linux: and those files read getty tty1? [00:49] or they even specify baud rate etc [00:49] you guys never learn copying in exams while kids? =) [00:50] exec /sbin/getty 38400 tty1 [00:50] mountain-linux: so run just that (without exec) =) [00:50] if you see errors, it may explain why it doesn't start correctly [00:51] that should open a login menu in tty1 [00:51] Sorry for lag. Exploring my system for some other place where ttys may be defined or organisd but not much luck [00:52] why is adept installer the default package manager? :o [00:52] it just downloaded all the packages I wanted, nearly 900 mb, to tell me that one single package(!) couldn't be installed and cancelled EVERYTHING [00:52] genii: it's configured under /etc/event.d [00:52] and everytime I click on a checkbox it freezes 5 seconds [00:52] genii: each of the tty files contains instructions on how to run them [00:52] and what runlevels to start them on [00:52] the only thing they do is running getty [00:52] which requests to login [00:53] so why is this program the default package manager? :o I used a lot of them on different distributions, but never used such a bad one [00:53] no error [00:53] mountain-linux: and do you see the getty menu there? [00:53] in the tty1 [00:53] the login request [00:53] uga: Was just looking at /usr/lib/upstart/migrate-inittab.pl actually [00:53] did not start. bummer [00:54] Yarcanox: to be honest your not really gonna get anywhere just complaining in irc channels, your better off putting in a request for a descent alternative (point out it will no doubt need to be qt based since kubuntus kde/qt version of ubuntu) [00:54] There also seems to be some issue if running proprietary nvidia driver which interferes with consoles [00:54] # /dev/sda1 [00:54] UUID=93dc288f-0439-45fb-b505-160dc1bc7645 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [00:54] genii: mountain-linux: I'm thinking it's a graphics problem rather than a tty problem [00:54] anything look wrong in that line that might keep a partition from mounting at boot? [00:54] adz21c why does it need to be qt based? :/ [00:54] genii: mountain-linux: maybe starting up the kernel in plain vga mode would help [00:54] ThreeFinity: I'm not sure "relatime" is a valid option [00:55] mountain-linux: your monitor... is it an LCD? [00:55] This worked, from install from dvd. [00:55] ie, a tft [00:55] anyone know why knotes insists on opening my last note or even creating a new one on startup? [00:55] genii: wow how did that get there? lol i didn't modify that file at all [00:55] was like taht after I installed lol and now it won't mount [00:55] Yarcanox: I think the idea is to try keep the systems clean and simple by having as few libraries installed, also by having it as Qt its easier to get it to theme with the rest of your desktop (gtk-qt-engine never quite gets it right) [00:55] hi genii i was here a couple of days ago with a dvd burner prob i sorted it out and now can burn with dvd [00:55] ThreeFinity: examination of manpage for mount shows it is valid [00:55] when i updated 7.10 about 160 meg of files. the text consoles are gone. [00:56] when I pick my kernel from grub is says unable to mount partition [00:56] adz21c but better have a working program than a nice looking one o.O [00:56] labud: Hello, yes I recall. Was it the bios settings after all? [00:56] no [00:56] but it only just started saying that, the last 5 times I've isntalled since yesterday it worked fine [00:56] i had the wrong path in the burning program [00:57] Yarcanox: it works fine for me, and lots (probably most) other people, i never heard anyone ... till yourself ... complain about its abilities and stability, just usability [00:57] labud: Ah. Good to see you sorted it out then [00:57] << ThreeFinity: Is it saying about the partition or is it possibly having something like VFS in the error? [00:57] i wonder if u r too busy to help with another prob>\? [00:57] huh now command line apt-get fixes everything [00:57] says it cant mount the partition [00:57] * Yarcanox hugs apt-get [00:58] It's a clean install, remade and formatted partitions.. [00:58] the partitions mount fine from inside the livecd, just not at boot from grub [00:58] Yarcanox: yea i usually just stick to apt-get anyway, only time i need a gui is when i dunno what the package or app is called [00:58] ThreeFinity: I ask about VFS in the error since it indicates the driver for understanding your hd controller may not be loading in the initrd [00:58] Yarcanox: even with a usable one like synaptic its still faster to launch terminal and apt-get [00:59] labud: I'm mildly busy but if you atate your problem myself or someone else may assist :) [00:59] *state' [00:59] if it was a driver thing it wouldn't mount under the livecd though would it ? [00:59] i set knotes to startup in my .kde/Autostart folder with the .desktop file. is there a better way to do it that won't cause knotes to insist on opening a note or creating a new one on startup? [01:00] adz21c yes, but synaptic or adept are just better if you don't know exactly what you want [01:00] I'm mostly wondering why it worked fine for the first 5 installs but now it won't go [01:00] arrrghhh- I have a symlink to knotes in .kde/Autostart, and it doesn't do that [01:00] title Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic [01:00] root (hd0,0) [01:00] kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=UUID=93dc288f-0439-45fb-b505-160dc1bc7645 ro quiet splash [01:00] initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic [01:00] Yarcanox: yea, like i said, i only use a gui when i dunno the package name or app name, otherwise i use apt-get [01:00] ThreeFinity: The livecd has drivers which may not be installed into the ramdisk of the installed system [01:00] Does that look proper for a fresh installed grub menu ? [01:01] ThreeFinity: depending on your disk numbering [01:01] but sounds like sane [01:01] Dragnslcr, just a symlink to the location in /usr/bin? [01:01] sda1 = ext3 / partition and sda5 = swap [01:01] arrrghhh, yeah. [01:01] sdb1 = ntfs [01:02] hrm i'll try that thanks [01:02] lcd monitor [01:02] I set the ext3 partition to Primary and the Swap as logical during partition creation, would that cause a problem ? [01:03] ThreeFinity: All looks proper there. But say it begins to load the initrd. Then that doesn't have info on some driver it needs to have in order to understand your hard drive. Fails miserably [01:03] ok i can see that u r i will come back l8r but the prob is i am trying to install K 8.04 on a new machine using the live cd i used GParted to partition the drive and the live cd went thru its normal install stuff and it formatted the drive and said install was good but when it reboots it just hangs [black screen flshing cursor] [01:03] ThreeFinity: I think that's safe [01:03] it is a sata II drive [01:03] lcd monitor [01:04] is there any reason it would stop intalling that driver? it installed it fine the last 5 or so times since yesterday. no it suddenly stops installing ? [01:04] theres not exactly any options for packages while installing :/ [01:04] just region and timezone, then partitions, and it goes on it's own [01:05] anyway thats the prob but i will pop in l8r to see if i can get some advice ty [01:05] uhm... firefox guys are very good at unusability techniques [01:05] the download manager used to be okay [01:05] now the clear list thing is shown only on RMB [01:05] and what's worse, you need to select one of the elements for it to show up first [01:05] ok, will start in recovery mode [01:05] brilliant minds [01:07] !br [01:07] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [01:12] compiz not work, my video is a ati 9250 [01:12] Anyone know where I can find a Blackberry channel? === fignew` is now known as fignew === userkubuntu is now known as userkubuntu_ === userkubuntu_ is now known as userkubuntu__ === userkubuntu__ is now known as userkubuntu [01:33] hi [01:34] <_CrashMaster_> srajput: Hello [01:41] k just rebooted and the problem still exists with knotes [01:41] i rm'd the knotes from .kde/Autostart, and put "sudo ln -s /usr/bin/knotes ~/.kde/Autostart" - is that correct? [01:42] I want to modify some option of USB memory stick auto mounting, how I can? [01:45] funcrush, /etc/fstab [01:46] arrrghhh: hm.. I'll try [01:46] funcrush, that's where all the stuff that mounts on boot lies [01:47] Dragnslcr, is that the command you used to put knotes in your autostart? [01:48] does anyone know how to use pulseaudio [01:48] #pulseaudio is a fucking dead channel [01:49] been in there for a week and no one answers questions [01:50] hey guys [01:50] NickPresta, is that the correct command? cuz it didn't work. knotes still starts, but it creates a new note on startup. [01:51] Is there a general release version by which you Kubuntu devels expect YOUTUBE to work in Konqueror for x86-64 systems? [01:51] Roey: use the 3s bit firefox with getlibs [01:51] which is how I did it [01:51] *32bit [01:51] getlibs? [01:51] hey mike [01:51] nosrednaekim: how do you do that? [01:51] yeah.... its grabs required 32 bit libraries [01:52] ok [01:52] em [01:52] ok [01:52] go get a statically compiled binary of firefox (the tar.gz) unzip it.... then get getlibs (google it) and run getlibs on the executable [01:52] Roey, the problem is not with konqueror, but there's no 64-bit flash. [01:52] How do I make an app load automatically at start up? [01:52] Mike, do you know though when it's going to be supported without us users having to do voodoo magic? [01:53] Walzmyn, add a symlink to .kde/Autostart [01:53] arrrghhh: the gnash folks say it works for them, so I don't know why gnash doens't work for me [01:53] gnash folkls meaning #gnash devs [01:53] google is your friend btw Walzmyn [01:53] arrrghhh, if there's no 64-bit flash, how is youtube working with firefox on my computer? [01:53] theres that nspluginwrapper that solves that isnt there? I am using flash in my konqueror [01:53] thunking [01:53] Walzmyn, you're probably using 32-bit ff [01:53] arrrghhh, .... that makes sence [01:54] arrrghhh, thanks [01:54] Roey, gnash is an open-source attempt to run flash [01:54] i shouldn't say attempt... it just didn't work as well as the proprietary flash. [01:54] for me [01:54] well they opened the format now [01:54] so hopefully should get better [01:55] arrrghhh, i appreciate that, i didn't know what to google for [01:56] Walzmyn, kubuntu, startup or something like that. KISS is what i always say. [01:56] right, for some reason, the word autostart didn't come to me until I asked here - that was the magic word that return all the results I needed [01:58] arrrghhh, sudo ln -s /usr/bin/knotes /home/YOURUSERNAME/.kde/Autostart/knotes [01:59] Walzmyn, what about startup? that's usually what i googled for. there's a handy app that handles all the autostart stuff for you - but for some reason it's not included with kubuntu. [01:59] NickPresta, uh... that's the command i put in. [01:59] and knotes starts up, but it creates a new note every time [02:01] arrrghhh, hmm. I don't use knotes specifically so I don't know if that is normal behavior or not. Let me install it quickly and see what's going on [02:02] NickPresta, k... it opens the previously created note on my desktop, and on my laptop there aren't any notes. it always creates a new note on boot. it's very annoying. Dragnslcr said he has a symlink to it and it doesn't exhibit that behavior... [02:04] arrrghhh, hmm. I just intalled knotes. I created a few notes and then closed knotes. I then reopened it and no new notes were created. I don't know why it would have different behavior on boot. [02:05] NickPresta, i figured it was the way i was invoking it... i have no idea. [02:08] arrrghhh, I don't know. I would ask Dragnslcr when he returns [02:08] k. it's not such a big deal on my desktop cuz it never restarts, but for my laptop it's quite annoying. and i love knotes - it's real handy to create quick "sticky" notes with. [02:09] I have no idea [02:09] I checked knotes' settings, and I didn't see anything about starting with a new note [02:09] hrm... even happens when i restart the x server [02:10] i'm gonna test a theory brb [02:12] well that's awesome. i had some "window-specific" settings for knotes. i deleted that entry entirely to see if it affected it at all... and no. no change. still creates a new note. [02:12] I was trying to setup two monitors, now I'm stuck in 640x320 or w/e, how can I fix this? [02:12] it says 640x480 is highest resolution (its not) so what can I do? [02:13] rascal999, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" [02:13] arrrghhh- you aren't the only one having this issue [02:13] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+bug/116563 [02:13] Launchpad bug 116563 in kdepim "Knotes creates note on startup" [Undecided,Invalid] [02:13] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=446743 might have a solution for you [02:13] arrrghhh- do you have KDE set to remember your session? [02:14] Dragnslcr, nope, it creates a fresh session every time [02:14] Hm [02:14] and it literally creates a new note - like i don't have any notes on the laptop, and when it starts it generates a new note. [02:14] arrrghhh: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: xserver-xor is not installed. [02:14] Try saving the empty note [02:14] rascal999, that's not the command i gave you [02:15] arrrghhh: thanks [02:15] I need to reboot now? [02:15] rascal999, you can just restart your x session [02:15] arrrghhh: ok thankx [02:15] rascal999, ctrl-alt-backspace [02:15] arrrghhh- the person that reported the bug to Launchpad said that it only happened if you don't have any saved notes [02:16] Dragnslcr, well i have 4 or 5 on my desktop at home and it still occurs. [02:16] Don't use ctrl-alt-backspace [02:16] it doesn't create a new note at my desktop, it opens the last note [02:16] Dragnslcr, why not use ctrl alt backspace? [02:17] Only use ctrl-alt-backspace if your X session isn't responding. Otherwise, logout and restart the X server from kdm [02:17] Dragnslcr, ctrl-alt-backspace restarts the x-server in a hurry tho... i don't see why it's bad. [02:17] Using ctrl-alt-backspace kills all processes running under the X server [02:18] You may lose data from programs that killed without being given a chance to terminate cleanly [02:18] Dragnslcr, well of course... [02:18] It's the same as pressing the reset button on your computer instead of doing a normal restart [02:18] Dragnslcr, i wouldn't go that far. [02:19] it can't potentially damage your hdd. [02:19] which is what you're insinuating. [02:19] No, I'm not implying that at all [02:19] arrrghhh: that worked :D but now my computer has gone usa on me, how do I change settings? [02:19] But you can lose data from programs that aren't allowed to exit cleanly [02:19] rascal999, system settings under the k menu [02:19] ^keyboard [02:20] Dragnslcr, of course. i' [02:20] m sure you can lose data with your method also. [02:20] Um, no, you can't [02:21] Because all of your programs are given the chance to exit cleanly when you logout [02:21] eh. i guess so [02:22] And you should pretty much never SIGKILL programs that can be terminated cleanly [02:22] i think you're making a mountain out of a mole hill. i was just telling the guy how to restart his x-server quickly without restarting his computer. [02:22] You're telling him something that could cause him to lose data [02:23] And the safe method isn't all that difficult [02:23] KMenu -> Logout, then Menu -> Restart X Server [02:23] or logout then ctrl+alt+bksp... [02:23] lol [02:23] y'know he left a long time ago [02:25] Hm [02:25] I may be incorrect. One site that Google comes up with says that ctrl-alt-backspace sends TERM before KILL [02:26] NickPresta, so how did you run knotes? cuz when i close knotes and start it back up (from the prompt) it still exhibits the same behavior [02:26] arrrghhh, I just ran knotes with no arguments and it restored my previous notes (and no additional notes) [02:26] NickPresta, from a command prompt? [02:27] yeah [02:27] I'm using the 3.5.9-2 package from Debian Testing though. I don't know which version Hardy uses (or if it even matters) [02:27] hrm... i dun get it. did you have any notes saved or none? [02:27] arrrghhh, it didn't matter either way. saved or not, no additional notes were created [02:27] 8.04 has knotes 3.6 [02:28] yea when i have a note saved, it brings up the most recently saved note on startup. if no notes are saved, it creates a brand new one on the spot [02:28] arrrghhh, that is the expected behavior, is it not? If you don't have any notes and you run knotes, wouldn't it mean you want to write a new note? [02:30] NickPresta, no... not on startup. if i want to create a new note, i'll tell it i want one. so is the expected behavior to open my most recent note on startup too? i guess you would say yes huh... ugh. i dunno. [02:30] arrrghhh, I would wager this is probably an issue of expected/general behavior versus your desired behavior. You could ask in #kde I guess and see if they can tell you what is supposed to happen. [02:31] k thanks [02:31] anyone help with a screen issue? I have had to tweak the grub settings to get a visible display, but it's only running at 1280 - my laptop is 1400, however changing the system settings just breaks the display.

[02:38] I spend about 60 hours a week on the #drupal channels, in case you want to check out how much patience THAT requires...! :p [02:38] NikLP, I can imagine :P [02:38] I am looking for a good alarmclock for kubuntu an alternative to kalarm i have looked on kde-apps.org and googled extensively but i havent been able to found one so i';; just use kalarm... but recently i still was a ubuntu+gnome user i just switched to kde and i am using the kde panel and i was looking if there is a dictionary applet for the kicker similar to the gnome dictionary applet, or would it even be possible to use the gnome [02:38] dictionary applet some help/advise would be highly appreciated? [02:38] I just want to get learning, but this damn screen issue... grrr :( [02:39] brb smoke [02:39] so my question is: Is there a dictionary applet for kde panel? (sorry for the rambling earlier) [02:40] Jucato: :< [02:40] traore: I know there is one for kde4, but I don't remember for kde3.5 [02:41] oh i am still using kde3.5 kde4 isnt finanlized yet i thought [02:41] traore, I know of kdict, but it isn't an applet. Let me check google really quick [02:41] ok ty [02:41] traore: no program that is being worked on is ever finalized [02:41] seems like such a little small thing but i used that dictionary applet so often it' so useful to me [02:42] traore, oh wait. Installing kdict gives you a dictionary applet, apparently. Try that [02:42] will it remember and store all my previous queries also NickPresta? [02:42] alexander_, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" - make sure to check the desired resolutions. [02:42] thanks NickPresta [02:42] traore, I'm not sure. I just found it in my applet menu. It appears to remember your previous queries. [02:43] arrrghhh: it doesnt give me any options... just some text that says it backed up the file, etc [02:43] where is the default user kept in kde, and where do I change it? [02:43] john-charles, which default user, for what? [02:43] alexander_, hrm... try it w/o the -phigh. it'll take u thru a lotta stuff tho. [02:44] wow. #kde is DEAD lol [02:44] what does kpager do btw? [02:45] when a new user is created, a bunch of folders such as a Desktop Documents etc.. along with a .kde with the dafault setting is automatically created. where dose that come from and can I change the defaults? [02:45] http://perso.wanadoo.es/antlarr/kpager.html [02:45] traore, that link is for you [02:45] !google | traore [02:45] traore: google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux [02:46] john-charles, user files are in their home directory. /home/USERNAME/ where USERNAME is the user in question [02:46] thanks arrrghhh [02:46] np [02:46] whats wrong with yahoo ? [02:46] arrrghhh: just gave me some keyboard options , etc... nothing about displays :/ [02:46] why the google endorsements? [02:46] alexander_, uh... what? [02:46] D: [02:47] traore, it is a generic search engine. You can use what ever you like to search [02:47] traore, encouraging you to search for yourself. i just googled kpager and that's the first page that popped up. [02:47] !yahoo | arrrghhh [02:47] Factoid yahoo not found [02:47] lol [02:47] traore, no thank you [02:47] discrimination [02:47] dats right. [02:47] cuz look at yahoo's homepage. and look at googles. [02:47] I know that. what I mean is if I go to system settings and make a new user and then log in as the new user there is obviously a default somewhere that gets copied to the new user's home, where is that default and can i change it? [02:48] john-charles, a default for what? NickPresta answered your question it seems... [02:48] john-charles- I think it's called the skeleton, but I can't remember offhand where to change it [02:49] http://search.yahoo.com/ <--- and they had this page before google!! [02:49] thanks Dragnslcr! [02:50] hi === user1 is now known as Machin [02:51] traore, so? google is still the best for many reasons. in fact, isn't yahoo's search "powered" by google? [02:51] can anyone tell me how I can have a different language option at the login screen, like Ubuntu? I seem to remember a package called "something-support-fr" [02:51] fr being the language [02:52] still stuck with screen issue, if anyone knows... [02:54] arrrghhh? [02:54] NikLP, the problem is hardly anyone is doing what you are doing... [02:54] hola [02:54] traore, yes? [02:54] well maybe [02:54] elvin, #kubuntu-es [02:55] :) [02:55] there's some way to invoke the bot and tell him in spanish lol [02:55] it seems there is mention of a 915resolution tool - anyone know about that? [02:55] I am using kubuntu via andLinux :D [02:55] NikLP, it's for intel integrated cards with resolution issues. [02:55] that's what I'm having - can't autodetect a 1400 screen I *think* [02:56] thats why i need to use kde panel D: [02:56] NikLP, just curious, do you have ANY of these issues booting from livecd? [02:56] haven't tried, I don't have a livecd - just the alt version [02:56] NikLP, hrm... why did you start with the alt version? [02:57] where does the livecd live? [02:57] because I'm running in VirtualPC for XP [02:57] NikLP, that still doesn't make sense. [02:57] not sure if that's a valid answer [02:57] :) [02:57] john-charles- I thought it would be in /etc/skel, but apparently not [02:58] not really. at any rate, where did you get the alt cd? [02:58] arrrghhh: not sure, some mirror [02:58] it's KDE 4 on 8.04 afaik [02:58] NikLP, ... [02:58] kubuntu.org > download > mirror [02:59] NikLP: the live cd lives in ram when it's started up [02:59] NikLP, yea usually it gives you the desktop (live) cd and you have to seek out the alt cd. [02:59] or, it gets streamed from the cd [02:59] yeah I was presented with a list of stuff, I was advised to pick out the alt one for some reason [03:00] and why was this advised? [03:00] I'd rather not have to go seek the "normal"/live cd at this point if at all possible (3am) [03:00] i never advise the alt cd UNLESS the livecd doesn't work [03:00] not sure, tbh :) [03:00] NikLP, well i can't really help you then, cuz the livecd lets you check everything out without actually installing anything. [03:01] hi guys, after upgrading to hardy, i'm experiencing something really odd [03:01] arrrghhh: right, but how does that affect the situation I'm in - if the live cd works, and I install from there, I'm going to be in the same place, surely? [03:02] this is all new to me, I'm doing my best :/ [03:02] my battery performance have dropped a llloooottt [03:02] NikLP, probably not... [03:02] oh how so? :/ [03:02] uh... cuz of what i just said... [03:02] "the livecd lets you check everything out without actually installing anything." [03:03] yeah but what's "check out" [03:03] it runs the complete OS from cd. [03:03] if I know I want to install it, I don't understand the advantage [03:03] lets you test hardware, see if there's any issues, etc. the alternate cd is for crappy computers that don't have the ram, or the livecd doesn't work with. [03:03] it might sound simple to you, but I don't know how this stuff works [03:03] ah right [03:04] so I have the shit version then :) [03:04] I suppose I have little RAM/disk space, maybe that's why I got that advice ? [03:04] well there's 2 installer versions. the debian text installer, and ubequity (sp?) [03:04] ubiquity, probably? [03:05] to be honest the main website does a really crappy job at warning users when downloading. First thing I got was Kubuntu LiveCD and my PC couldn't handle it, it kept crashing. I had no idea until I looked up the system requirements myself. [03:05] NikLP, how much ram do you have? i've never used VPC2007, but can you choose the ram alloted. that looks correct actually lol [03:05] the system requirements for the LiveCD are higher than the main installation, so it was very confusing [03:05] yeah I only bumped up to 1GB in my laptop this week - I have 512 allotted to the VM [03:05] Machin, you're right... ubuntu is much better at that than kubuntu. i always feel kubuntu is 'behind' ubuntu, but i don't like gnome. [03:05] that's about the max I can afford [03:06] also very little disk space atm [03:06] hrm [03:06] only a 40GB drive in my lappy [03:06] most of which is full, no external storage atm [03:06] i dunno. i've never had problems with grub like display. i'd say try it outside of VM [03:06] have you tried wubi? i'm not sure why you're running kubuntu in vm in the first place... [03:06] I know what you mean, but I really have to run in the VM... [03:07] ? [03:07] I suspect that the livecd will work, but obviously then I'll go back to the VM, then same issue [03:07] I need it to run inside windows [03:07] why? [03:07] so I can use windows...? [03:07] lmao why don't you do it the other way around? that's what i do. run windows inside linux. [03:08] well that's not an option at the moment [03:08] ... [03:08] I run a business, I don't have a week to learn all this stuff that way round [03:08] I just want to fix this (stupid) screen issue so I can see what I'm doing in the VM window [03:08] well virtualbox is awesome. it runs windows perfectly [03:08] so why do you "need" kubuntu then? [03:09] that's as may be. [03:09] Need is a strong word. I am looking to learn [03:09] NikLP, i'd say check out wubi. you can learn when you want to then, at your own pace. [03:10] I'm surprised I'm meeting so much resistance, it's just a monitor resolution... (meant in good faith, of course) [03:10] and it's installed just like any other windows software. removed just as easily (in fact easier than most windows programs lol) [03:10] * NikLP googles wubi [03:10] virtual machine is a commercial product you can get support from them if you -really- need it [03:11] NikLP, well i've never done what you're doing. so i have no idea how to fix your specific problem. it just seems like you're going about it wrong. especially since microsoft probably doesn't want you running linux in their vm software. [03:11] screw those guys :) [03:11] don't have the space to run wubi :( [03:11] NikLP, which is why i run linux :D [03:11] NikLP, but you have the space for vm? [03:11] well there's lots of posts concerning what I'm doing, but nothing seems to give me the answer ... [03:12] the VM is only 3GB atm [03:12] * NikLP sighs [03:13] so you have space for vm... but not for wubi... that makes no sense. [03:13] i *think* you can get away with 5gb... i dunno. i wouldn't recommend it, cuz you probably won't be able to install anything. get rid of all that porn and music? [03:14] I'm not getting the KDE 4 artwork, such as the "Poet's Dream", "Leaf Curls", and "Colorado Farm" wallpaper. What package should I install for it? [03:14] theunixgeek, i think it's kde4-artwork lol [03:15] nvm [03:15] arrrghhh: nope [03:15] theunixgeek, kde4artwork and kde4artwork-data [03:16] E: Package kde4artwork-data has no installation candidate [03:16] what about kde4artwork? [03:16] theunixgeek: you might want to ask in #kubuntu-kde4 [03:16] E: Package kde4artwork has no installation candidate [03:16] theunixgeek, i have no idea. Jucato has a good suggestion tho :P [03:17] what the heck is happening with the inability to download anything? another buggy update? my ports are forwarded, no matter what client I use, I can't get any incoming connections thru dht or any other method [03:17] dennister, probably your isp... cuz i don't have any issue. [03:18] k, will check with them [03:18] !info kde4artwork hardy [03:18] thanks :) [03:18] Package kde4artwork does not exist in hardy [03:18] oh must be in backports [03:18] Jucato: ooh, nice idea [03:18] thanks [03:18] just been having other issues lately, too, programs working one day and not the next [03:19] !info kdeartwork-kde4 | arrrghhh [03:19] arrrghhh: kdeartwork-kde4 (source: kdeartwork-kde4): themes, styles and more from the official KDE release.

Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [11:06] try man alien for a start? [11:06] alrite [11:06] snmateen: the packshe should appear on synaptic... [11:07] oh alrite [11:07] you can remove it from there [11:07] ok so all the .deb packages installed using alien will appear in synaptic package manager [11:07] right ? [11:07] snmateen: yep [11:07] Thanks Angeltronix [11:08] snmateen: no prob ☺ [11:10] mmm, can anyone help me with the problem I have with Xine? [11:13] Angeltronix : where can we get applets like battery applet and whether etc... ? [11:13] I thought that depending on the program/player - many of them had extra mp3 related packages. theres not just a big codec pack for them [11:13] snmateen: for gnome or kde? [11:13] gnome [11:14] Dr_willis: the problems are only for the players that use Xine as engine [11:14] libxine1-ffmpeg installed? [11:14] Dr_willis: eg. Amarok, Kaffeine, etc... [11:14] I cant imagine why one would want to use xine for mp3 :) but... if you like it.. heh [11:15] Dr_willis: because it is was most KDE 3 apps use by default [11:15] I thought for amarok there was a specific mp3 related package. [11:15] Jucato: I have all the codecs available for Ubuntu [11:15] Angeltronix: Ubuntu and Kubuntu have different sets of codecs [11:15] what did you install? [11:15] Jucato: yes I know... [11:16] does 'kubuntu-restricted-extras' grab the mp3 stuff? Hmm.. i dont rember ever needing to installing anything else. [11:16] I also have the Gstreamer codecs and they are working well [11:16] Dr_willis: it does. or else, it should :) [11:16] Dr_willis: yes, I have installed Ubuntu and Kubuntu restricted extras [11:17] using the meta-packages [11:17] Angeltronix : Gstreamer Codecs are more than sufficient [11:17] and some extra packages from the medibuntu repository [11:17] snmateen: no they are not for Kubuntu [11:17] nothing in Kubuntu/KDE uses gstreamer [11:17] yep ☺ [11:18] then you must be trying xine [11:18] actually, the problem is with Xine [11:18] snmateen: he is having problems with xine [11:18] It's not recognizing the installed codecs [11:18] well, I faced the same problem when I was KDE [11:19] Angeltronix : what you can possibly do is that [11:19] for example, if I try to play a Mp3 file on Amarok, It says that is an Unsupported format [11:19] get in to preference of the player which you are using and change the engine [11:20] Angeltronix : you just have to change the engine in the amarok [11:20] and Kaffeine cannot play Avi's using codecs like Xvid or Divx [11:20] snmateen: there are no other engines supported in Amarok 1.x except Xine [11:21] yes, Amarok currently only works with xine [11:22] well I had just changed the engine when I had the same problem [11:22] it started working [11:22] I dont exactly understand why its not working for you [11:22] this problem appeared suddenly a few days ago... [11:23] everything was working fine [11:23] then there must be some package conflict in the dependencies [11:23] in your recent install of the packages [11:24] you can try removing the xine engine and installing it again. [11:24] but i think it was after an update that xine starts to fail [11:25] I've tried reinstalling the xine-related packages [11:25] and the problem persist [11:26] I've never had problems with codecs conflicts and the xine engine [11:26] hmmm [11:28] hello [11:28] Hello. [11:28] what's the dock applcation pannel [11:28] this ubuntu installation have almost 2.5 years of being running on this machine [11:28] without problems [11:29] now I'm running Hardy 8.04 upgraded from 7.10 [11:29] Sysinfo for 'Linux': Linux 2.6.24-17-generic running KDE 3.5.9, CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz at 3194 MHz (6387 bogomips), HD: 157/188GB, RAM: 990/1010MB, 127 proc's, 1.2d up [11:29] dock application pannel? [11:29] Dock application bar is, when you have it on a place where your running programs go instead of at the kbar [11:29] I htink [11:29] I've never used it [11:30] And I've had kubuntu for 2+ years [11:30] haha [11:30] XD [11:30] I think you can put shortcuts there [11:30] well i added this pannel [11:30] at it's just a grey coulmn on the right of the screen [11:31] Try right clicking it and adding a program [11:31] rophy: oh that's a useless thing for WindowMaker compatibility only [11:31] Or click and drag a program to it [11:31] and what's a windowmaker comatibilty? [11:31] WindowMaker is a (old) window manager (something like kwin, compiz, metacity, fluxbox, etc) [11:32] it had something called a dock I think, like a taskbar [11:32] yes [11:32] has [11:32] so that panel is for running windowmaker apps [11:32] WindowMaker <3 [11:32] oh sorry. s/had/has/ [11:32] haha [11:32] rophy: yes, that panel is useless ☺ [11:32] it's not dead yet [11:33] okai the point is i want a dock and i thought this couuld be a goo choice but not workin ..annd that kooldock not very nice [11:33] I'm just coming over from debian I tried it out and it was a little confusing to me. But, it ran faster [11:34] not abt the speed abt the way it looks [11:34] the way it stucks downthere [11:34] and enlarge icons [11:34] <_2> anyone know about qemu ? how to get vidio higher than 640x480x4 ? [11:34] I'm really minimalistic. KDE is almost to pretty for me [11:34] annoying [11:34] well, so nobody have a clue on what's happening with xine on my pc... [11:35] _2 sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [11:35] <_2> uhriventis o.O ??? [11:35] Add it when you get to the moniter part [11:35] In your terminal [11:35] or Konsole [11:35] brb need to restart [11:35] <_2> uhriventis oh you mean if i'm running linux in the qemu ? [11:36] It seems that in launchpad aren't a bug report similar to this issue [11:36] <_2> actually i wasn't. but that might work. [11:36] and the dock thimg? [11:36] then I'll report it, maybe it can be solved ☺ [11:37] <_2> well time to take the gun for a walk again. i'll prolly see you fellows tomarrrow [11:38] I wonder if he figured it out [11:39] I have to type firefox-2 to start firefox [11:39] is there a way to create a new bash command firefox? [11:40] you can symlink firefox to firefox-2 I guess [11:40] ah [11:41] what's the command I use? [11:42] standard is ls I read [11:42] Hi all [11:42] but that's for listing directories [11:42] ln -s from to create symlink [11:42] oh? [11:42] Can't I remove the default packages from ubuntu using apt-get remove ....? [11:43] I think you can [11:43] you can remove everything [11:43] I am using feisty 7.04 kubuntu [11:43] sudo apt-get purge package [11:43] even to destroy your system ;) [11:43] and it removes all kde packages after that [11:43] I just want to remove one package [11:43] say openoffice [11:44] yes you can destroy everything, as long as you have the rootpassword [11:44] Howw can I [11:44] man lns [11:44] woops [11:45] Is there a command line search tool in Linux? [11:45] pim: to search what? [11:45] Tm_T to search for an executable called: firefox [11:45] I don't want to destroy everything, just remove open office2.2 [11:45] Last time I try to remove kate [11:45] pim: "locate firefox" or better in this case, "which firefox" [11:46] ah [11:46] osc: you can remove, no problems [11:46] and it removed all packages [11:46] osc: it might take also "kubuntu-desktop" metapackage but it doesn't hurt really [11:47] hm Tm_T locate firefox just churns out a long list of data and which firefox gives me nothing [11:47] ok i have to trust [11:47] I'll try [11:47] pim: yup, or better in this case, "which firefox" [11:47] thanks [11:47] pim: ^ [11:48] which firefox doesn't give me anything [11:48] ~$ which firefox [11:48] /usr/bin/firefox [11:48] interesting, so you don't have the executable then? [11:48] first do updatedb [11:49] ah, true [11:49] then, locate firefox [11:49] it'll give all file paths [11:49] locate firefox | grep bin [11:49] ;( [11:49] if there are any? [11:50] locate firefox|grep bin gives me something [11:50] what ? [11:50] (locate db might not have been updated yet though) [11:50] true [11:51] /usr/bin/firefox-2 [11:51] /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-2-bin [11:51] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5031126#post5031126 - any ideas? [11:51] these are the upper two [11:51] oh [11:51] so which one is the executable? [11:52] firefox-2 I guess? [11:52] both, but /usr/bin/firefox-2 is preferable [11:52] there is a problem with hardy [11:52] what is the difference between the two? [11:52] It can't see samba drives [11:53] pim: prolly /usr/bin/firefox-2 is symlink to /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-2-bin [11:53] of other servers like feisty [11:53] pim: easy to check, ls -alFh /usr/bin/firefox-2 [11:53] Does anybody tried? [11:53] sorry, I don't use sambe [11:53] samba even === desti_T2 is now known as desti [11:54] hm I get: firefox is not installed, use apt-get install firefox-3.0 to install [11:54] yes [11:55] I don't really want the beta [11:55] but thanks for your help [11:55] fire + tab works as well :D [11:55] yup [11:55] well cu later then [11:55] does anybody tried remastering of kubuntu? [11:56] pim: you can symlink firefox-2 to firefox [11:56] "sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firefox-2 /usr/bin/firefox " === kubuntu_ is now known as ms89 [12:00] sabà alkir === nikos is now known as patsikas [12:06] hello [12:06] can i ask something for superkaramba? [12:07] Tm_T Thanks, it works now! [12:07] pim: good :) [12:08] how does superkaramba work? [12:08] hey guys; i was wondering what might happen when i install Gentoo on a separate partition; how do i edit the Grub menu? [12:10] gedit boot/grub/menu.lst [12:10] mattycoze or you can use kate ;-) [12:11] kate ftw. [12:13] Notepad!!! [12:17] pim; can i show you my grubby list :p? [12:17] i need to know what to edit specifically for when i install Gentoo tonight [12:18] like i haven't made a partition just yet [12:20] I don't know much about it, but I think you might just want to have a look at what's already there. [12:20] ok [12:21] You need a name and the root at least [12:21] so the mounting point on your harddrive of the partition [12:26] mattycoze, i pick one OS that handles grub. and let it be the only os to do the grub stuff. :) [12:27] often after installing 2 disrtos. i have to look at one disrtos grub config and cut/paste the proper stanzas to the Other disrtos grub config - so i have the proper entries. [12:29] Is apt-get upgrade enought to update system to newest possible version? Like from previous release to 8.04. [12:29] !update [12:29] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [12:29] I was thinking the gui/update tool handled a few sprcial cases that just apt-get updating dident get. [12:30] !PROVIDER [12:30] Factoid provider not found [12:30] !provider [12:33] Dr_willis: Thanks chap. [12:35] Dr_willis uhh well ubuntu handles grub (i was gunna use ubuntu as a default anyway). and whenver i feld like booting into another distro just switch throught he grub menu on startup === edulix_ is now known as Edulix [12:35] Yep - i let Ubuntu Handle the grub stuff.. [12:35] Dr_willis i'm assuming you switch between kernels sometimes? [12:36] I got 3 'disrtos' on the laptop. geexbox, puppylinux, and Ubuntu :) [12:36] ahh i see; and it's never auto-configured? [12:36] puppylinux is very fast :o [12:37] Hello dear. I had to buy some web space but I'd like to know what is the best and the cheap... some tips??

[12:38] hi guys [12:39] ok thanks [12:39] i am not able to install applets in the taskbar === emilsedgh_ is now known as emilsedgh [12:42] which applets? [12:42] whether applet [12:42] weather applet [12:43] some applets appear in the 'add applet' menu. some are ran and just add an icon. [12:43] !find applet [12:43] Found: contact-lookup-applet, deskbar-applet, deskbar-applet-dbg, eyesapplet, fast-user-switch-applet (and 52 others) [12:44] I dont recall using the weather applet in the panel. I always just had my browsers homepage set to be the weather channel. :) [12:44] well i am using gnome [12:44] you must not have seen weather applet in KDE [12:44] Is there a way to: "hard-unmount" [12:44] * Dr_willis notes that this is the #kubuntu channel. :) [12:44] Ive seen it - i havent used it in ages. [12:45] pim, theres a force option to umount i think [12:46] alrite [12:47] is there any way I can get to code of these applets ? [12:47] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5031126#post5031126 - any ideas what to do? [12:48] the source code is out there somewhere. [12:48] theres some apt commands to retrive it also. but ive never tweaked the code [12:48] apt-get build-deps (or somthing like that?) [12:49] sudo umount -f /media/cdrom0/ is supposed to do it but it doesn't work [12:50] you may want to try 'lsof' to see whats accessing the cdrom also. [12:50] I know what is [12:50] I'm installing a game [12:50] and I need to swap DVD's [12:50] let me guess.. wine and a 2+ disk game..... [12:50] Orange Box [12:51] Well the #wine guys may have some ideas on the proper way to do it. i wonder if it might be best to disable the auto-mounting features of kde while the game installs. [12:51] cedega had some tweaks in this area. but i havent messed with wine in ages with big games [12:51] Hm I'll ask in #wine [12:52] * Dr_willis runs kweather and looks at the weather.. weee... [12:52] no grub scientists here? :) [12:52] grub is the kind of tool. it pays to read its very well done homepage/docs/manual :) and then start haxoring! heh [12:53] you got a specific issue? [12:54] yes [12:54] I pasted it a few minutes back [12:54] the url [12:54] if I started writing it here it would just become unreadable [12:54] basically I want the grub on my usb stick to boot the hardy on my sata drive [12:55] it can almost achieve that [12:55] but then something goes wrong [12:55] when booting from a external usb device. the 'drive order can change' [12:55] the internal hd that was sda. may now become sdb. [12:56] yes, but the boot commands that detail where the kernel is found don't use markings like hda or sdb [12:56] they have hd0, hd1 ,etc [12:56] a trick is to copy/clone the grub menu entries with incremental (hd#.#) entries to try them out and see - hd0 becomes hd1 and so forth. [12:56] grub does NOT use hda hdb. it uses hd0 hd1 and so forth.. correct. those #'s can change. [12:56] I just said that [12:57] I'm pretty sure that grub manages to start booting the kernel [12:57] however at some point it can't find the rest of the stuff it wants [12:57] the initrrd or root= entries may be confused. when the drives get reorderd. [12:59] how can I kill wine? [12:59] hey people, is there a way to reinstall xorg.conf without reinstalling my system i have /home on a seperate partition....even if i were to reinstall the system i think that xorg.conf woud be located in the /home dir....so i dont think it would get written over...any ideas? [13:00] pim: the hard way: "ps -ax | grep wine" and then "kill -9 pid_of_wine" [13:00] hmm so what do I do with the root and initrrd entries to make them comply to how I want the system to work? [13:03] "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/4a4d367a-cf21-4ca4-87 does not exist" [13:03] Dragonath, that can be tricky. I recall the 'ubuntu hacks' book - detailing some issues with booting from a usb hard drive. But ive never messed with it. and im not sure what problems stll exist under hardy with doing it. [13:04] hmm ok [13:04] well the howtos I have found about booting off an USB drive usually have the distro on the USB drive as well [13:05] however I would just use the USB drive to point the bios to the right way so it can boot the hardy on my sata drive [13:05] I really don't want to buy a new motherboard just because this one can't boot a sata drive :) [13:06] hmmm thing about that though is the usb drive will have to remain in [13:06] and if your mobo can't boot from sata, you got a problem that goes past linux mate [13:08] you mean it's not possible to use grub to boot a linux installation that's on another drive than the grub installation? [13:10] i imaghien its possible.. its just that the reordering of the drives is confusing a few things. === RuyalarPrensi__ is now known as RuyalarPrensi [13:11] well once I know the drive and the partition the distro is on, then there shouldn't be any huge problems anymore [13:11] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB [13:12] but thats not exctly what you are wanting to do.. [13:12] no [13:13] but it seems there is helpful information there [13:13] thanks for the link [13:19] hmm this seems to be simple [13:19] all I need from the USB grub is that it starts the bootup sequence on the SATA drive [13:21] hi [13:23] hi [13:23] someone is here [13:23] ?

[14:02] purge removes configuration files, 'remove' doesn't [14:02] prince_jammys: Ok, thanks :) [14:02] simply put: purge purges everything, remove just removes the package [14:03] pim: that's called a circular definition :) [14:04] ;-) [14:04] hehe, ok :-) [14:04] mine is only semi-circular [14:04] hi I've got the latest 8.04 and I'm trying to run it in MS VPC, but the video is not working - I have got it to work under 1280x1024 using vga=791 noreplace-paravirt in the kernel boot up line, but I need to get it working up to 1400x1050 (dell D505) - any thoughts? [14:05] pim: Thanks, but that is not saying me anything. English isnt my primary language and those words have simmilar meanings in my lang. That is why I am so confused. :) [14:07] he's saying purge removes everything, while remove only gets rid of the application files - similar to uninstalling a windows app but leaving the app's registry entries intact, I suppose(?) [14:07] crs What's your primary language? [14:07] pim: Polish. But i do understand now. No worries. ;-) [14:09] NikLP: Windows leaves more than just registry entries :) [14:09] crs: just to beat the dead horse (or it's equivalent in polish): if you 'remove' a package, and then reinstall it, your old settings will remain. if you 'purge' it, settings are gone [14:09] Jucato: loose analogy :p [14:09] *its [14:10] Thanks guys. :) [14:10] prince_jammys: not quite. your user settings for that app remains whether your purge or not :) [14:10] i wasn't aware of that [14:10] By the way, while I am here. If there is any (k)ubuntu devs in here... i'd to say thank you for a good piece of work. :) [14:10] prince_jammys: apt will never touch anything in $HOME. that's a policy [14:11] how about 'aptitude'? [14:11] when I say apt, that goes for the APT library which both apt-get and aptitude :) [14:11] use* [14:11] yeah makes sense [14:11] prince_jammys: aptitude uses apt as a backeng === rignes_ is now known as rignes [14:12] so the settings just get removed from /etc ? [14:12] yep [14:12] gotcha [14:12] system-wide settings in /etc (or other places the package installs to) get uninstalled when using purge [14:12] makes sense. i always have to remove the dotfiles manually [14:13] with my own bare hands [14:13] O, i have got a quistion. :) I made a big list of changes in adept, then pressed apply changes and get error window and I lost my list of changes ;/ === rafal is now known as total [14:14] sometimes beating the dead horse brings it back to life [14:14] Can i restore it somehow?

[17:50] thanks million [17:51] When running adept_updater, upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10, I get "dist-upgrade.py: cannot connect to X server :0.0" [17:51] has anyone seen this before? when ONLY windows apps can connect to peers? all linux apps can't connect to any peers, and all trackers timeout [17:51] run via sudo: "sudo adept_updater" [17:52] !security [17:52] If you feel the need to adopt security measures for your system, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security - See also !root, !firewall and !server [17:53] methinks its a pretty sad state of affairs when a person has to resort to winblows apps to download :( [17:54] dennister: thats odd [17:55] milos: use "kdesudo adept_updater" [17:55] !kdesu [17:55] In KDE, use « kdesudo » (Gutsy) or « kdesu » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [17:56] tell me about it; been working on the modem/router since 7 am, trying absolutely everything, cause I simply can't afford a lousy $ for a new modem until Friday...and finally winblows works [17:56] Hallo, I'm trying to use freevo to record tv. But it does'nt work. Can anyone help me? [17:57] ubottu: YES it works now! OK, I will remember to use kdesu... [17:57] milos: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:57] at least its something...also sad that I'd like to get rid of winblows completely, but it's cases like this that stop me [17:58] i installed x-sensors [17:58] and it wont work [17:58] how to find out what is the problam?

I now know that there is something wrong with my Xorg conf which prevents me from getting HW acceleration. Running Thinkpad R52 with intel 1915 chipset. Xorg.conf here: http://www.pastebin.ca/1028047. Can someone please have a look? [18:06] leifdk1978 er du der ? [18:07] hak5fan: your /var/log/Xorg.0.log wouldalso be useful [18:07] nosrednaekim: ok I'l paste it [18:07] hak5fan: and the whole section "Device" should be indented [18:07] and the Driver should be "intel" [18:08] nosrednaekim: ok i'll try that [18:09] Nutubuntu: exactly...so it's not the modem; it's linux [18:09] or more accurately: ubuntu === recski is now known as r_gabor [18:12] nosrednaekim: I'll restart X and see if it worked [18:12] ok [18:13] ok guys I on 8.04 Hardy 64 bit and using 6600 gt nvidia card and drivers.... [18:14] when I change the resolution using "sudo nvidia-settings" it doesn't save the changes for the user [18:14] dontbugme: might want to run that with "kdesudo nvidia-settings" but i'm not sure of thats going to make any difference [18:14] dennister: which p2p app are you trying to use? I only know a little bit but maybe it's the right little bit [18:15] is there a separate xorg.conf for the user? [18:15] no.... but possibly different res settings [18:15] ok I'll give that a whirl, cannot hurt [18:17] Nutubuntu: my main client was torrentflux (which uses BitTornado) on one server, I often used ktorrent on other machines as a backup if the server with torrentflux was being worked on/unavailable; since yesterday I've been trying transmission, too [18:17] but torrentflux and ktorrent give me more information as to what's going on...none could connect to any peers and the trackers were always timing out [18:19] where can i find the temporary files for firefox? [18:19] dennister: what ports does the winapp use, the one that works? and what ports are configured for torrentflux - are they the same? [18:19] nosrednaekim: still no luck with opengl [18:19] nosrednaekim. What i've done is to run nvidia-setting and save it as the current user. Before save, i changed /etc/X11/xorg.conf with 777. [18:20] nosrednaekim: shouldn't there also be a module section where som modules like dri are loaded? [18:21] Nutubuntu: no, they're not the same...all are different, as I do know that much, and I do know how to forward ports, too. what's working with utorrent is the randomly chosen ports [18:22] hola a todos [18:24] alguna chica de venezuela [18:24] !es | edicksson [18:24] edicksson: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [18:24] hak5fan: are you using hardy? [18:25] yes, I'm on kubuntu hardy kde4 remix. It's really awsome [18:25] apart from the opengl issue [18:25] que paso yo hablo español [18:25] Hi, I just upgraded to 7.10 and I'm having a problem with kde. I get to the login, I enter my password and hit enter. After that, I only get the desktop without kicker or any menus, just the plaine blue striped background. Any ideas? [18:25] hak5fan: are you using kwin compositing features? [18:26] dennister: maybe I misunderstand but I think it would be helpful to configure for the linapp that isn't working, the ports that are known to work in the app that *is* working, testing whether maybe some ports are blocked [18:26] what is the best program for torrents inlinux? [18:26] gokorn, I really like KTorrent [18:26] I was able to start with session safe mode and that does the same, but with a konsole window. [18:26] not unless they are enabled by default but I can check.... I think theres something wrong because the grapthic card section was empty [18:27] is it similar to the utorrent? [18:27] Nutubuntu: yes, that's a good idea, but even with the winapp I'm being told I'm not connectable, even though there are 80 DHT nodes connected and I'm getting speeds of hundreds of kbs/s [18:27] nosrednaekim: effects are disabled [18:28] hak5fan: ok [18:28] Are there any kde logs I can look at that might show what could be taking place. Why all the kde components aren't starting? [18:28] hak5fan: in hardy.... you shouldn't need an xorg.conf [18:29] Nutubuntu: this is a temporary solution as far as I'm concerned; I now want very much to get another modem for which I can disable firewalls completely (can't with the 2wire) and put into bridge mode with PPOE [18:29] nosrednaekim: This is because of the new Xorg version right?. Well anyway extreme tux racer is not working lagging and horrible [18:29] yes [18:29] hak5fan: i'm not real good with intels unfortunately... have you tried googlin> [18:29] nosrednaekim: in theory yes, in real life however ... [18:29] ^_^ [18:30] i actually had a spare, a nice, simple speedstream, but now can't find the power adapter, so this will have to wait for next weekend when I have some $ [18:30] nosrednaekim: yes most of the info seems outdated [18:30] and I gave away another very beatuiful, well-cared for speedstream just a few days ago :( [18:33] dennister: I see - makes sense to me. Isnt it always the way, when you give it away or recycle it, the next day you need it? but never before? [18:34] Nutubuntu: yes...drives me nuts...but anyway, thx for your attempts to help...i came into the channel mainly to see if someone else had ever experienced this, and if there was a simpler fix [18:34] Hmm, kicker doesn't start. Bug if I start with safe mode, I do get a konsole. I typed kicker in there and it loaded. Do you guys know of a log I can check to see why things are startin correctly? [18:34] in var/log nothing looks kde specific... [18:34] go knows there have been a few buggy updates recently, too [18:34] *god [18:36] firefox could not install this item becouse "install-v20..rdf" (provided by the item) is not well formed or does not exist. please notact the author about this problem [18:36] i try to install adobe flash player [18:42] Hi, anyone who got the time to help me with Kubuntu?

[18:53] nith3: use kdesudo [18:53] nith3: It's part of the command line [18:54] as in "kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [18:54] nith3: you'll need to run the command with either run command or in a shell (ie: konsole) [18:54] åhh, okay thx [18:54] I got the konsole open [18:55] nosrednaekim: blackwaltz@terra:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/kdesu [18:55] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2008-05-21 03:08 /usr/bin/kdesu -> kdesudo [18:55] dwidmann: yep :) [18:56] nosrednaekim: probably better to use for now ... as hard as I find it to believe some people are still using feisty and earlier ... [18:56] !nvidia [18:56] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [18:56] dwidmann: this is what it says: [18:56] "kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [18:56] bash: kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory [18:56] nith3@Nillerspc:~$ [18:57] nith3: try typing "which kdesudo" [18:57] Need to reboot. I'll be back. [18:58] dwidmann: bash: which kdesudo: command not found [18:58] nith3: if it outputs nothing then you don't have kdesudo (in which case you'll probably want to use kdesu) [18:59] nith3: that's odd [18:59] ah, that's why, nith3, remove the quotes. [19:00] dwidmann: okay how do i do that? [19:00] sudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:01] gah [19:01] don't use sudo with kate [19:01] wojtbar: here I cant type my pass [19:01] :S [19:02] where can i find the temporary files for firefox? [19:02] nith3: does kdesu work? [19:02] xterm [19:02] * dwidmann smites wojtbar [19:02] nith3: if you copied + paste , which it seems you did, you can't have the """ in the command or it won't work. [19:02] Ah, the joys of the nVidia driver [19:02] :) [19:03] draik: in the good way or the bad way? [19:03] dwidmann: i got that the "" in my copy ;) [19:03] None, in the great way. [19:03] ah. in the 'I got it to work and now everything looks pretty' way then [19:04] speaking of which... I saw the ati driver got updated.. [19:04] This has been an ongoing issue: Links in Konversation opens a new Firefox window with 2 tabs to the same link. Clicking on a link within Thunderbird does nothing. No open windows or tabs in an opened firefox. What do I have to do to get this issue resolved/ [19:04] ? [19:04] ati drives!! [19:04] * dwidmann runs away and hides [19:04] *r [19:04] dwidmann: but it seems that the rootpass won't work in my kubuntu. [19:04] dwidmann: Wow. ATi is making drives now ;) [19:04] nith3: There isn't a password [19:05] ahh thats right [19:05] draik: probably an issue with kde's default browser, .. systemsettings -> default applications -> web browser and fix it :) [19:05] draik: I knew that ;) [19:05] !rootsudo | nith3 [19:05] nith3: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [19:05] dwidmann: firefox %u for the Web Browser [19:06] It's been the same since 6.06 or 6.10, can't recall [19:06] nith3: also, in other news, when using sudo in the CLI it won't show the password as you type it. It assumes you have mad typing skillz. [19:07] dwidmann: sry, im not so good at this OS [19:07] sudo passwd root [19:07] dwidmann: haha [19:07] dwidmann: Okay i will try again [19:08] is it possible to install a system not in / but in /dirname ? [19:08] kreib: what would be a chroot, yes [19:08] *that [19:08] but what goes into menu.lst [19:08] ? [19:09] (hd0,3)/dirname ? [19:09] kreib: no, you'll change it on the kernel and initrd lines [19:09] anyone gotten synergy to work with kubuntu? [19:09] kreib: instead of /vmlinuz.... it'd be /dirname/vmlinuz..... [19:09] i see. thx. and in the fstab. / becomes /dirname ? [19:10] not sure how that would work in the fstab really ....... I've never tried it :s [19:10] cannot open primary screen: unable to open screen [19:10] dwidmann: Am I missing something? This issue arose from 7.10 to 8.04 distupgrade === ubuntu is now known as pardus [19:10] draik: maybe something in the firefox settings? [19:11] kreib: not sure how and/or if booting into a chroot is possible ...... [19:12] dwidmann: sry i misunderstood your question with the "" [19:12] dwidmann: sry [19:13] nith3: that's okay ... I'm assuming that's what it was then? [19:13] nith3: basically, what you're going to add is going to look something like this: http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d83dd472 [19:14] ok, thing is I did a network install and everything went one level below / . dont know if I could just mv everything one level up [19:14] nith3: however, you'll need to change the device id part, and maybe the identifier. [19:15] kreib: moving everything up one level could probably be done. Worth a shot, and if that doesn't help, you could always move it back. [19:15] dwidmann: but this is what it says now in the konsole [19:15] dwidmann: cd '/etc/X11' [19:15] dwidmann: /etc/X11$ [19:15] nith3: kdesudo kate xorg.conf [19:15] dwidmann: and a lot more kode in the Kate [19:16] dwidmann: YES [19:16] nith3: yess, good it's open, you're going to add a bit of something to that file [19:16] nith3: but first, look at your mouse section (just search for one, it's there) [19:17] dwidmann: Nope. Everything seems in order. [19:17] hello [19:17] nith3: once you find it, tell me its Identifier (this configuration file is really very straightforward .. it's split into sections. In the sections, it goes something like Option "optionname" "optionvalue". [19:17] please help me, how export any all of kontact [19:18] janrof: it can export to several formats whence last I checked. [19:18] dwidmann: now it says: Driver "mouse" [19:18] janrof: it's probably under somewhere like file -> export ... but it has been a very long time since I've done it last [19:18] hi, how can i terminate a fish session in konqueror? [19:18] nith3: I know, but it should have an "Identifier" line. [19:19] Is anyone else having issues with Firefox? [19:19] dwidmann: okay i'm looking after it now [19:19] draik: that's minor compared to what Konqueror 4.0.4 is acting like :( [19:20] hi [19:20] What is happening with Konqueror? [19:20] draik: "text area"s are going nuts. [19:21] only quit konqueror doesnt help, if i restart konqueror i can still connect to server wihtout asking for passwort [19:21] Is there an option to changing the password fields back to asterisks rather than large dots? [19:22] dwidmann: i found the section with device? [19:22] when trying to install manually the latest version of fglrx driver something was going wrong (it freezes at xserver startup) and i can't even remove the package [19:22] i'm getting this output http://rafb.net/p/vcCyTX77.html [19:22] how can i force this? [19:22] draik: nith3, there should be a line like this: identfier "mouse0" or similar, what I want to know is that line. [19:23] dwidmann: Huh? [19:23] oops, I was shooting off two tangents in my head at once [19:24] sorry draik ... I've got no idea .... have you tried threatening the developers yet? (just kidding, of course) [19:24] dwidmann: is that the right one, [19:24] Section "InputDevice" [19:24] Identifier "Configured Mouse" [19:24] Driver "mouse" [19:24] Option "CorePointer" [19:24] Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" [19:24] Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" [19:24] Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" [19:24] Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" [19:24] EndSection [19:24] nith3: there we go, much better :) [19:24] nith3: that's exactly what I needed to know. [19:25] dwidmann: Never. These minor issues are nothing compared to the constant issues with $Mainstream_OS [19:25] dwidmann: nice one hehe ;) [19:25] Ipastebin | nith3 [19:25] can anyone tell me how to install synCE because i want to sync my pocket pc with kubuntu [19:25] Ipastebin > nith3 [19:25] Whoops [19:25] !pastebin | nith3 [19:25] nith3: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [19:26] * draik has ZERO clue how an "ell" was used instead of the exclamation mark [19:26] nith3: first things first, at the very beginning of each of those lines, ranging from "Section "InputDevice"" to "EndSection", put a # at the very beginning of the line. [19:26] draik: which syntax do i have to choose? [19:26] !botsnack [19:26] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [19:27] nith3: I go with Text [19:27] or TextOnly, whichever is there [19:27] draik: okay thx [19:27] draik: you were trying to break out of the norm. Congrats man, you're the best :P [19:27] dwidmann: Okay i will try that [19:27] dwidmann: Huh? I'm lost now :( [19:28] draik: well, that simply *Must* be how that l appeared instead of a ! [19:28] Ah. Gotch [19:28] Ugh [19:28] Gotcha [19:29] nith3: let me know when you've got that [19:29] dwidmann: all of them? [19:29] dwidmann: done [19:29] nith3: yes, that entire section, including the Setion and EndSection lines. [19:29] *Section === in_flames_666 is now known as olie [19:30] dwidmann: yes im with you ;) [19:30] nith3: okay, now, in konsole, type "cd /dev/input/by-id/; ls" without the quotes. [19:31] how do you sync a pocket pc on kubuntu 7.04 [19:32] nith3: better yet, after that, do a "ls -l" [19:32] dwidmann: now it says: usb-B16_b_02_USB-PS.2_Optical_Mouse-event-mouse usb-B16_b_02_USB-PS.2_Optical_Mouse-mouse [19:34] nith3: okay, copy + paste this into the xorg.conf.

[19:35] I don't know what I did, but the link opened once. Firefox only opened one tab this time. Half the issue resolved. Now, if Thunderbird can open it's own tab...... [19:36] draik: thunderbirds clicking of link handling makes me want to cry. [19:36] You too? [19:37] Yes, for now I'm using klipper actions to do it ... I copy link location, then alt+ctrl+r, and click open in konqueror in the klipper popup [19:41] dwidmann: sry i'm lost right now :S how do i get the usb-b16 line in the xorg.conf? [19:41] which is most stable kde distro??? [19:41] kubuntu is buggy as hell:( [19:42] nith3: http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=m1de4b708 -copy and paste that into your xorg.conf ;... should be all you need. [19:42] shadowman: are you using KDE3 or KDE4? [19:42] 3 [19:42] shadowman: which apps are crashing? Have you filed bugs? [19:43] kwin crashes, i cannot see my window decorations, I am using crystal default kubuntu hardy theme [19:43] dwidmann: okay thx dwidmann... Thank you very much for your time. :) [19:43] i cannot file the crash, there ius no bug report. trace says: no somethingorother... [19:43] nith3: well, we're not through yet, you need to save and test it :) [19:44] ant it is not a crash, it just doesnt load, untill I restart kde [19:44] dwidmann: yeah :D [19:44] shadowman: might be zombied or something in the background, what app? what happens if you try to run it in konsolee? [19:45] run what in console? KDE? all windows, no matter what app I use does not have a window decoration:( [19:45] dwidmann: oohh ohh The document could not be saved, as it was not possible to write to file:///etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:45] nith3: you did use kdesudo, right? [19:46] I am running on GNOME>:| untill I sort it out somehow... [19:46] shadowman: no window decorations?? That's certainly very strange ... I've never seen that before, could be related to something else, like compiz or the likes? [19:47] yes, I like to use compiz. maybe that is the problem??? howcome it works perfectly fine in gnome (which i hate because of the apps and because of the FOOT) [19:48] I installed compiz from a main repo, everything i need, all packages, and still it crashes. [19:48] dwidmann: i think i did, where should i copy kdesudo? [19:48] I'm not sure, maybe someone in #compiz-fusion would have an idea on that part shadowman? [19:49] nith3: it's basically saying you didn't, I think, it's saying you don't have permissions to save the file because you didn't manage to obtain root privileges [19:49] thank you very much. I wiill try them. Goodbye [19:50] dwidmann: what! okay [19:51] what shall i do then? [19:52] dwidmann: [19:55] Hi all.

[21:41] I heard that it has built-in desktop effects similar to compiz-fusion? [21:42] !kde4 | legolas [21:42] legolas: KDE 4.0.4 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.4.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 [21:42] legolas: so does kde3 [21:42] you have to install something like kdesktop4 or something [21:43] /join #kubuntu-kde4 [21:43] epimeth: kde3 doesnt have composting it just has some menu effects and fake transparency [21:44] Rioting_pacifist: what is composting? [21:44] Rioting_pacifist: I have all of the compiz stuff.... [21:44] epimeth: compositing uses OpenGl as aopposed to Xrender [21:45] I'm pretty sure I'm using openGl... how do I find out? [21:45] if you are using compiz... yes, you are [21:45] its not built into kde tho, so there are some problems when using compiz instead of kwin, nothing major but little bugs that wont/cant be fixed === laurent_ is now known as laurent__ [21:45] yea, I definitely know about those :-) [21:45] why won't they get fixed? === laurent__ is now known as Ljz [21:46] I'm trying to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04. I use adept updater. I get "No module named GnuPGInterface" error. Package python-gnupginterface is installed. [21:46] hey everybody [21:47] I'm having problems with kdebindings [21:47] is it the right place for such issus? [21:47] in kubuntu of course [21:48] shadyzay: you probably want to go to #kde, but there might be some people who can help you here as well [21:48] I have got "/usr/share/python-support/python-gnupginterface/GnuPGInterface.py", why python will not see it? [21:49] I run the right python 2.5.1... [21:49] I don't think thats the way python support should work [21:49] Ok here's my issue guys, hopefully some one is familiar with this, [21:49] I'm developing an application with qtruby [21:50] everything was ok on gutsy, but when I upgraded to hardy my application stopped working [21:50] It's segfaulting [21:50] I tried running of the the examples provided in libqt4-ruby-examples, it's also segfaulting [21:51] oh sorry it's not segfaulting it's throwing a ruby exception [21:52] hi guys ! i have installed libdvdcss2 ,but i can't see any dvd movie. i mean i can't play any dvd with kaffeine , MPlayer ,Smplayer ,xine . any help ? please [21:52] it works with vlc only [21:52] nosrednaekim: I do not understand your post. [21:54] milos: I believe all python support modules have an __init__.py file.. [21:55] you are probably right [21:55] kaffeine is showing me : the dvd is encrypted ,please install libdvdcss... [21:55] hi peeps i wanted to know how can i configure kubuntu so that when i start it up that it autostarts some programms [21:56] tux: add a shortcut to ~/.kde/Autostart [21:56] ok [21:56] nosrednaekim: Unfortunately the python-gnupgiinterface has no __init__.py ... [21:56] milos: hey.... uhh... you are supposed to have a python version number before the final file.. [21:57] i.e. .... python2.5/GnuPGInterface [21:58] also... python is case sensitive [21:59] It is weird that python-gnupgiinterface is installed in usr/share/pythonsupport, because that folder is not in sys.path... [22:00] ping me plz [22:00] !pinf [22:00] Factoid pinf not found [22:00] !ping [22:00] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [22:00] !ping [22:01] nosrednaekim: the main problem is that no __init__.py is in the python-gnupginterface package. [22:01] actually, not neccesarily... alot of these do not have __init__'s [22:01] I was wrong :P [22:04] How do I add icons to a command, like starting a program from alt+f2 pops up an icon.. [22:07] newbie question: How big should I make my swap partition for a new kubuntu installation? [22:08] ross: twice your RAM. [22:08] milos: Thanks! [22:10] newbie question: How big should I make my swap partition on a new partition? [22:10] newbie question: How big should I make my swap partition on a new installation--I mean [22:11] ? [22:12] ross_: twice your RAM. [22:12] unless you have 2GB RAM or more. [22:12] milos: Thank you again--I thought this was a different channel :( [22:12] I 4GB, what then? [22:13] And why ask the same question again on a different channel? [22:13] HOLA MMAGUEVOS [22:13] Its a lot of work setting this thing up, I was looking for more than one opinion [22:13] ross_: With 4GB of RAM, you need no swap at all. [22:14] FOKIUN [22:15] DO YOU SPEAKING SPANI? [22:15] milos: I'm struggling with whether or not I should put one in as a safety net, or is that complete nonsense? [22:15] !es [22:15] Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. === roberto is now known as rmribeiro [22:16] if you plan to use suspend-to-disk, you must have some disk space set aside. [22:16] ross_: It is hard to imagine a software that would eat more than 4GB of RAM on Linux. On Windows its different perhaps. [22:16] whether that disk space is a swap partition or a swap file, ... [22:17] folks is there any tool in ubuntu which can edit my mounting points for me so I don't need to write fstab by hand? [22:17] milos: I think my system only sees 3GB though, I'm running ubuntu, and that's what the system tools report. [22:17] milos: 4 GB for most desktop users is likely adequate. I know for a fact that 4 GB is utterly inadequate for my workloads. [22:17] I have 1.5 GB, run lots of hungry GUI programs for two users, my swap is never used. [22:18] I'm seeing that too, but I'm just trying to error in the right direction, so I don't have to rebuild for a long time (I hope) [22:18] ross: Then make a 8GB swap [22:18] !br [22:18] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [22:19] right now, my KDE System Guard reports: Swap: 39,016 KB used, 3,190,008 KB free [22:19] so it seems like I'm using the swap space a little [22:19] I've got a really big synch process going right now thoug [22:19] trying to backup everything before I wipe it all out [22:19] ross: there is always this kind of small usage. It means nothing. [22:20] My motherboard has a "Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE controller" and I need to install an older IDE hard drive. But hooking up the hard drive to that PIDE port still doesn't make BIOS recognize the hard drive. Any ideas? [22:20] ross_: Sometimes there's some overspill where a little swap is used even though there's massive amounts of RAM unused. [22:21] So what you're saying is, "if I had no swap space allocated, it would probably just keep it in ram"? [22:21] ross_: Very likely. [22:22] I'm just a little gun-shy yet--I wish I had a really rock-solid plan to follow before I pull the trigger and reformat [22:22] maybe it doesn't exist [22:22] lol [22:22] it does [22:22] its called "pull the trigger and reformat" :-) [22:23] epimeth: LOL [22:23] ross_: you are over-planning. Over-engineering. [22:23] milos: I'm sure you are right, I could probably do everything I need to do on my HP calculator : [22:24] HOLA [22:24] HABLAN ESAÑOL [22:24] HOLA [22:24] ross_: You can always make a swap file later on (without re-partitioning) if it turns out you haven't allocated enough swap. [22:24] HI [22:24] [22:25] HI YOU TIENE MSN [22:25] Well, while I'm at it, I'm kind of thinking of using ext3 file format for almost everything else, would you agree with that? [22:25] !es > JOSEITO [22:25] ross_: I always use ext3, personally. [22:26] I'm not trying to over-engineer, its just that although I'm really impressed with Linux, I just don't know much about Linux [22:26] I NOT SPEAKING INGLES . [22:26] NO HABLA ESANOL [22:26] POQITO [22:27] SSJ_GZ: hey.... when can I get my hands on that 4.1 VM image? :P [22:27] nosrednaekim: Hopefully within the next couple of days - it's a long weekend here :) [22:27] yes... it is :) [22:27] Y ROSS TIENES MSN [22:27] ross.ylitalo@gmail.com [22:28] MSN account [22:28] nosrednaekim: The base image is now complete (760MB compressed, though! :O)) but needs update-testing and backtrace-generation-testing. [22:28] But I really don't know Spanish [22:28] SSJ_GZ: any way at all that it could be converted into a native installation? [22:28] I'm trying to install 8.10 from a live cd I just burned and it's just stuck there at the startup menu. Any ideas how I can debug this? [22:28] I picked up a little when I worked in Chicago, back in the late 70's [22:28] ross_: don't feed the troll... [22:29] nosrednaekim: Yep - someone actually did this with the original KDE4Daily. I'll see if I can find the link ... [22:29] nosrednaekim: what do you mean? [22:29] nosrednaekim: has the guy been a pain? [22:29] Test memory, check cd, all these things just do nothing except make the hd work hard... [22:29] ross_: joseito is a troll, someone who just comes on to annoy others (at least thats the way it looks) [22:30] ROSS NOT TIENES HOMAIL.

[22:30] Darlok_Williams: probably [22:31] if the cable fits... it is :P [22:31] I believe I have an older IDE drive on a PIDE bus [22:31] nosrednaekim: Well, it fits just fine, but BIOS doesn't recognize it. [22:31] The thing I'm not sure about, is how old the drive is [22:32] maybe you need a BIOS upgrade [22:33] ross_: Well, it isn't an ancient drive, but the new computer has 4 SATA slots (New HD connected to SATA 1, a DVD drive on SATA 2, and another HD on SATA 3). [22:33] I have no experience with SATA, really. [22:33] I'm trying to reinstall Kubuntu 8.1 from live cd, but whever I try "Try Kubuntu" or "Install Kubuntu", it just freezes there with high hd activity. Any ideas what I can try? [22:33] HOLA I AM CALLED JOSE WHO OF YOU HAS HOTMAIL'S MAIL [22:33] Darlok_Williams: I'm guessing we've got some things in common: I'm running an 80 gb ide, an 80 gb sata, and a 750 gb sata [22:34] JOSEITO Please lose the caps [22:34] Darlok_Williams: and I'm sure my ide is on the pide bus [22:34] I'm no wiz with hardware by any means, but I think the drive is an eide [22:34] ross_: Hmm... that is strange then. My BIOS also claims that the hard drive plugged into SATA 1 is "drive 3" and the one on SATA 3 is "drive 1" ... no idea why the IDE drive doesn't show up. [22:35] Not sure either [22:35] Darlok_Williams: is the IDE drive in master mode? [22:35] ross_: Yeah, mine is an EIDE. It was my old /home/ drive and I need to get stuff off of it (my other mobo fried) [22:35] is your dvd drive on the pide? [22:35] nosrednaekim: No idea. [22:35] ? [22:35] my ide and dvd are on the same cable [22:35] terminated on the dvd [22:35] ross_: If I remember right when I opened the case, I thought my DVD drive was plugged into SATA 2. [22:36] Darlok_Williams: if its not in master, and there is no other disk on the bus, it won't show up [22:36] !ops [22:36] Help!

[22:36] ya... thats the problem then [22:37] nosrednaekim: You wouldn't happen to know what jumper position I need to put it in, do you? Or should the drive have that written on it? [22:37] Darlok_Williams: I'm really not a good resource for these kind of problems, although I wish I could help [22:37] O? [22:37] ?
