| stequbu | Hi! my updated fresh install of Hardy Heron started screwing with me | 01:25 |
| stequbu | At boot it fails to do the Routine drive check at 4% | 01:25 |
| BluesKaj | navetz, also install libk3b2-mp3 and libxine1-ffmpeg, for burning mp3 and other audio and video codecs with K3B | 01:26 |
| stequbu | and unless i hit ESC before it gets there it halts and then it needs a reboot | 01:26 |
| stequbu | If I hit ESC the system boots normally | 01:26 |
| stequbu | how would you go about with such an Issue? | 01:27 |
| BluesKaj | stequbu, what routine drive check ? | 01:27 |
| Daisuke_Ido | stequbu: that's probably not a good thing - it sounds like the drive has an issue | 01:27 |
| stequbu | before login screen I when the name of the system appears | 01:27 |
| Daisuke_Ido | BlueDevil: fsck | 01:27 |
| stequbu | Daisuke_Ido : what tool would you use to try to repair it? | 01:28 |
| stequbu | it is in Ext2 format | 01:28 |
| Daisuke_Ido | BluesKaj: fsck (whoops, wrong person originally) | 01:29 |
| BluesKaj | if it's checking the drive after a large number off boots (usually about every 30-35 startups or so then let it run thru the check without interuption , it takes about 5 mins but then it won't do it again for another 30 . | 01:29 |
| Daisuke_Ido | BluesKaj: but if it completely hangs at 4% every time, that could indicate the drive has some issues | 01:29 |
| stequbu | Daisuke_Ido: , exactly | 01:30 |
| BluesKaj | he didn't say it hangs | 01:30 |
| stequbu | [02:27] stequbu: and unless i hit ESC before it gets there it halts and then it needs a reboot | 01:30 |
| stequbu | :) | 01:31 |
| stequbu | so after the check ceases operation would you launch fsck ? | 01:31 |
| Daisuke_Ido | if it's the root filesystem you may have to boot from a livecd and run fsck, i don't know if you can once you're logged in (or at least fix errors) | 01:32 |
| BluesKaj | dual boot , stequbu ? | 01:32 |
| stequbu | nope | 01:33 |
| tzd_ | i can't write to an external usb hdd that's connected to a router. I can see it and browse the drive via samba but not write files to it, creating folders works. he permissions are wrong but how do i add a user or make it writeable please? It's in ext3 format | 01:33 |
| stequbu | Daisuke_Ido : I'll try doing it from LiveCD | 01:33 |
| stequbu | Daisuke_Ido : what would such a command look like? | 01:34 |
| BluesKaj | tzd_, can yousee it if you launch konq and type smb:/ , in the addressbar ? | 01:34 |
| tzd_ | eeh let me rephrase one bit ;P Please leave out the whole sentence stating the permissions are wrong | 01:34 |
| tzd_ | BluesKaj: no. I had major issues with that before but i was told to use smb4k or something similar and that worked | 01:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | stequbu: most likely fsck /dev/sda1 | 01:36 |
| stequbu | ok I ran the fsck and there'a whole bunch of DRDY ERR whatever it is | 01:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | stequbu: sudo fdisk -l | 01:37 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that's a lowercase L | 01:37 |
| stequbu | Daisuke_Ido: , also errors reading blocks and had to do Forced rewrites | 01:37 |
| BluesKaj | ok tzd_ , try this in the terminal (as long as youre behind a firewalled router or gateway) and arent too worried about LAN security , sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/smbmnt , and then , sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/smbumount | 01:37 |
| stequbu | Daisuke_Ido: , what could be the reason for this fuck-up ? | 01:38 |
| Daisuke_Ido | please watch your langueage, and it could be a failing drive | 01:39 |
| Daisuke_Ido | but i'm not sure about that, don't quote me | 01:39 |
| BluesKaj | !language | stequbu | 01:39 |
| ubottu | stequbu: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 01:39 |
| stequbu | Sorry bout that, the drive is completely new | 01:40 |
| tzd_ | BluesKaj: hmm when trying the first cmd it says it can't access /usr/bin/smbmnt - the file or folder does not exist | 01:40 |
| Daisuke_Ido | stequbu: try sudo fdisk -l | 01:40 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and pastebin the output | 01:40 |
| stequbu | it is currently doing a fsck without -l how should I break the process? | 01:41 |
| Daisuke_Ido | let it run through | 01:42 |
| BluesKaj | tzd_, do you have both samba and smb4k installed ? | 01:42 |
| tzd_ | BluesKaj: yes | 01:43 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 01:43 |
| stequbu | Daisuke_Ido : what does fdisk -l do? | 01:43 |
| Daisuke_Ido | it lists all of your partitions and the filesystem used by each | 01:44 |
| tzd_ | BluesKaj: I've got swat installed too... can i uninstall that since I don't use it? | 01:44 |
| BluesKaj | tzd_, dunno , haven't used smb4k for a couple of versions since samba seems to work better with konq | 01:45 |
| stequbu | Daisuke_Ido : how can one check or test a drive if it is ok before doing any important stuff on it? | 01:46 |
| BluesKaj | tzd_, since 7.04 | 01:46 |
| Daisuke_Ido | fsck helps, but other than that, i'm not entirely sure | 01:46 |
| tzd_ | BluesKaj: I'd much rather use konq or Krusader but i just can't get it to work with samba... perhaps i should reinstall all samba related packages? | 01:47 |
| Qster | any idea why konqueror would crash when using myspace? i had it working on another computer | 01:47 |
| tzd_ | just tried with a virtual windows xp machine and that one can write. I suppose my samba is wrong/defect... will I be alright reinstalling it from scratch or will i face severe errors etc? | 01:55 |
| tzd_ | hmm nevermind, I'll give it a go and come back if i mess it up completely :) | 01:56 |

| Kloplop321 | I use 8.04 upgrade.. but I would think the menus would still stay in their own environment | 02:36 |

| kuroryuu | chipbuddy: did it give you an error? what happens exactly? | 04:37 |
| chipbuddy | when it gets to the end of the install process it says grub could not be installed. i don't remember an error message, but i'm able to install lilo jsut fine | 04:38 |

| kuroryuu | Frederick: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616353 | 04:40 |
| chipbuddy | 4 partitions, ntfs primary for windows first, then ext3 for 7.1, swap, and the rest i left open so i could set it up for my home directory | 04:40 |
| chipbuddy | now that i have it all working, can i magically install 8.04 in place of 7.1 and not touch the boot loader? | 04:41 |
| kuroryuu | you can upgrade to hardy without the cd, yes | 04:41 |
| dbglt_ | Hi everyone, I'm trying to set up a printer with kprinter, but for some reason the "Local printer (parallel, serial, USB)" option is greyed out. How do I enable this? | 04:41 |
| kuroryuu | use update-manager | 04:41 |
| chipbuddy | but if i use the cd it's going to try to mess with grub? | 04:41 |
| kuroryuu | chipbuddy: sudo apt-get install update-manager && sudo update-manager | 04:43 |
| kuroryuu | it should give you an option to upgrade to hardy | 04:43 |
| chipbuddy | but i like the idea of a fresh install with the cd. using the update manager won't give me the exact same results, right? | 04:43 |
| kuroryuu | it may have a few files left over from gutsy that aren't needed, but otherwise the upgrade process is very much the same, not to mention easier | 04:45 |
| chipbuddy | ok... i think i'll do that then. but just to satisfy my curiosity, where does grub live? is it on the main o.s. partition? or is there some secret hidden partition? | 04:47 |
| mr | dbglt you need to run as root | 04:47 |
| chipbuddy | !grub | 04:48 |

| flaccid_ | navetz, did you google that error yet? | 07:11 |

| navetz | flaccid_: ok I am trying a blank dvd (I use to burn on these all the time before the cdrom stoped working) | 07:12 |
| flaccid_ | ok | 07:13 |
| navetz | flaccid_: Is scd0 suppose to be accessable by root? | 07:14 |
| BiteyBite | i installed kde3 after kde4 and now i have tried all diff commandes but i cant seem to get rid of kde4.......what shall i do? | 07:14 |
| navetz | sorry I meant to ask if the premissions were suppose to be set as root:cdrom | 07:15 |
| flaccid_ | navetz, yes it should be something like brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 2008-05-28 01:47 /dev/scd0 | 07:15 |
| BiteyBite | kde4 doesnt seeeem to go away | 07:15 |
| flaccid_ | BiteyBite, pastebin dpkg -l | grep kde4 please | 07:15 |
| navetz | flaccid_: ok thats what mine looks like: also here is my dmesg with the blank dvd- [118479.767077] cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize! | 07:15 |
| flaccid_ | navetz, anything else? | 07:15 |
| fale | lucian: the problem is that your pc doesn't see biggest resolution | 07:15 |
| fale | lucian: it can be that the nvidia drivers can not go higher | 07:16 |
| navetz | flaccid_: nope | 07:16 |
| lucian | fale, ... crap.. but i can use the higher res's on the small monitor | 07:16 |
| flaccid_ | fale, pastebin xrandr -q please | 07:16 |
| lucian | fale, and they are both utilizing the same g-card | 07:16 |
| fale | flaccid_: ? | 07:16 |
| navetz | flaccid_: I put a cd in thats not blank, when I try to open with konqueror I get permission denied error. | 07:17 |
| flaccid_ | fale, i would like to look at the resolutions | 07:17 |

| home_ | MRoy, yes ,,is it better than the previous? | 07:20 |
| flaccid_ | BiteyBite, go into adept manager and search for kde4 and remove all of those.. | 07:21 |
| flaccid_ | navetz, should be by default, if its not in the command groups add the user to it | 07:21 |
| frybye_ | hmmm hours ago I logged in here with my usual nick frybye (which I can identify for of course..) but here on a different machine/location it says my nick is being used by somebody else.. (yes ME a few hours ago I assume!!) what can one do ...? | 07:21 |
| lucian | flaccid_,http://pastebin.ca/1033832 | 07:21 |

| ubottu | frybye_: On IRC, if you own a nick that is currently being used, you can make it quit by typing: /msg nickserv GHOST <username> <password> | 07:21 |
| frybye_ | this may not look like a kubuntu problem but it is hindering the propper use of the #kubuntu channel imho... | 07:22 |
| navetz | flaccid_: ok I am going to try changing my fstab then ill be back, thanks. | 07:22 |
| frybye_ | excellent!!! | 07:22 |
| flaccid_ | navetz, not sure what this has to do with fstab but ok.. | 07:22 |
| aleboco | hi guys, since i upgraded from kubuntu gutsy to hardy, my battery life is really short... any idea or similar experience? | 07:22 |
| === frybye_ is now known as frybye | ||
| frybye | thanks a lot flaccid - you are a star... hehe | 07:23 |
| flaccid_ | lucian, hmm thats a pretty complex xorg.conf . if you are running 1 big desktop, your virtual size is too small: # | 07:24 |
| flaccid_ | Virtual 1280 1024 | 07:24 |
| flaccid_ | frybye, np | 07:24 |
| lucian | how do i change it | 07:24 |
| frybye | so who has managed to install firefox rc1 in kub. 3.04??? | 07:24 |
| frybye | e e 8.04 | 07:24 |
| flaccid_ | lucian, just edit xorg.conf manually | 07:25 |
| lucian | flaccid_, thnkx :) | 07:25 |
| flaccid_ | np | 07:25 |
| flaccid_ | lucian, also look through /var/log/Xorg.0.log and look for errors and warnings mainly about the resolutions it ends up choosing and virtual size | 07:26 |
| lucian | k, i will | 07:26 |
| lucian | thnk u | 07:26 |
| flaccid_ | np | 07:27 |
| navetz | flaccid_ I am getting new errors now | 07:29 |
| navetz | Features only avaliable with HAL. | 07:30 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as jejeje | ||
| navetz | Also I just noticed that my drive seems to not be mounted or something. | 07:30 |
| flaccid_ | navetz, it will only mount if it can | 07:31 |
| navetz | flaccid_: ok ill try | 07:31 |
| flaccid_ | navetz, but you could try mounting it manually with sudo mount /media/cdrom0 | 07:31 |
| flaccid_ | navetz, you might wanna make sure fstab supports iso9660 and udf on that device: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0 | 07:32 |
| navetz | flaccid_: I mounted here is my message: mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only | 07:32 |
| flaccid_ | sweet | 07:32 |
| flaccid_ | now check mount and ls /media/cdrom0 | 07:32 |
| navetz | flaccid_: ahh I see stuff | 07:33 |
| flaccid_ | navetz, see you mounted under root atm. you might need more than just cdrom group. here is the default admin groups, you might need plugdev: adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner lpadmin admin netdev powerdev sambashare | 07:33 |
| BiteyBite | where do all the files go when we download em n then again dpkg-reconfigure em | 07:34 |
| flaccid_ | BiteyBite, /var/cache/apt ? | 07:34 |
| navetz | flaccid_: I don't know how to check if I am mounted under root | 07:34 |
| === emilsedgh_ is now known as emilsedgh | ||
| flaccid_ | navetz, check mount command and groups to see your groups | 07:35 |
| flaccid_ | navetz, and ls -l /media/cdrom0 to see current own when its mounted.. | 07:35 |
| navetz | flaccid_: when I type mount, this is what I get for the cdrom: /dev/scd0 on /media/cdrom0 type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev) | 07:35 |
| navetz | flaccid_: everything is owned by root. | 07:36 |
| flaccid_ | navetz, now check ls -l /media/cdrom0 to see owner | 07:36 |
| navetz | flaccid_: root is owner. | 07:36 |
| flaccid_ | navetz, yeah, i mean in this case its read only so it doesn't matter obviously as long as user can read. but you might wanna add user to plugdev which could be what is missing for hal user mounts.. | 07:36 |
| navetz | flaccid_: do I do this through the a GUI somewhere? | 07:37 |
| flaccid_ | and when you change your groups, you have to logout then back in after | 07:37 |
| flaccid_ | yeah system settings is easiest | 07:37 |
| flaccid_ | kuser is nice too | 07:37 |
| Sup3rw0p | Hello,, I'm having a problem with my second hard drive. It asks for a password when I want to mount it. | 07:37 |
| Sup3rw0p | I just want it to be mounted when I start the computer. | 07:38 |
| flaccid_ | Sup3rw0p, what asks for the password? | 07:38 |
| Sup3rw0p | kubuntu | 07:38 |
| Sup3rw0p | dolphin? | 07:38 |
| flaccid_ | what kind of password is this ? kwallet? | 07:38 |
| flaccid_ | is it a normal ide disk? | 07:38 |
| Sup3rw0p | No, the same window that pops up when I use adept installer | 07:38 |
| Sup3rw0p | sata | 07:38 |
| BiteyBite | http://pastebin.ca/1033839 how do i get rid of these files? | 07:39 |
| Sup3rw0p | I know theres some fstab command | 07:39 |
| Sup3rw0p | But I can't find it on the net again. | 07:39 |
| flaccid_ | the question is, what password could it be. disks don't have passwords. pastebin your /etc/fstab | 07:39 |
| Sup3rw0p | Its the same password I use to log in | 07:39 |
| flaccid_ | Sup3rw0p, what exactly does the dialog say? | 07:39 |
| navetz | flaccid_: ok I am not sure how this is suppose to work, do I add cdrom to my default account? | 07:40 |
| flaccid_ | navetz, select the user and goto additional groups and put in cdrom and plugdev | 07:40 |
| Sup3rw0p | Cant recall offhand, like password needed to access disk. I type in the password and I can see the contents, I just want it to mount it on startup. | 07:41 |
| navetz | flaccid_: ok, I put that in secondary groups right? | 07:41 |
| flaccid_ | yep sorry secondary | 07:41 |
| flaccid_ | Sup3rw0p, i need to know what it says to find out what is asking it. also pastebin /etc/fstab | 07:41 |
| flaccid_ | Sup3rw0p, not enough information yet :( | 07:41 |
| navetz | flaccid_: plugdev and cdrom are not options, however it does say that I am suppsoe to be able to use the cdrom | 07:42 |
| BiteyBite | flaccid_: http://pastebin.ca/1033839 how do i get rid of these files? | 07:42 |
| flaccid_ | navetz, they should be options. this needs to be under admin mode or root to change. use kuser otherwise. check that the groups exists with grep -i cdrom /etc/group | 07:43 |
| navetz | flaccid_: weird, also now pressing the button to eject the cdrom doesn't work. | 07:44 |
| navetz | flaccid_: ok ill look | 07:44 |
| Sup3rw0p | http://pastebin.com/d515c807e | 07:44 |
| flaccid_ | BiteyBite, dpkg --purge packagename | 07:44 |
| Sup3rw0p | I would have to reboot to see the password dialog again. | 07:44 |
| flaccid_ | Sup3rw0p, which is the device in question? | 07:44 |
| navetz | flaccid_: here is the result of that: cdrom:x:24:haldaemon,navetz | 07:45 |
| flaccid_ | navetz, see the group does obviously exist | 07:45 |
| navetz | flaccid_: ok ill try kuser | 07:45 |
| Sup3rw0p | It would be /dev/sdb1 I guess? | 07:45 |
| flaccid_ | Sup3rw0p, check in sudo fdisk -l and let me know | 07:45 |
| flaccid_ | Sup3rw0p, and let me know the mountpoint | 07:46 |
| navetz | flaccid_: cdrom and plugdev are set | 07:47 |
| navetz | flaccid_: ill do soem googling, thanks for all the help. | 07:47 |
| Sup3rw0p | Sorry, I'm not too sure what the mountpoint is. | 07:48 |
| Sup3rw0p | Just kinda installed kubuntu like a week ago. | 07:48 |
| canthares | anyone know how to remap the keyboard.. my question mark and at sign come up with different returns | 07:48 |
| flaccid_ | Sup3rw0p, thats cool just the device will be fine | 07:48 |
| Sup3rw0p | Disk /dev/sdb: 320.0 GB, 320072933376 bytes | 07:49 |
| flaccid_ | thats not in fstab which is why its asking | 07:49 |
| flaccid_ | i'll brb! | 07:49 |
| frybye | A somewhat general question - even when one has optimized the fonts/f-sizes etc.. can Kubuntu equal/surpass the quality of presentation of text etc that one expects comming from windows...? | 07:51 |

| frybye | <- I hope folks agree that such questions are legitimate and no way meant as an attack/flame against Kubuntu...> | 07:53 |
| pidus | how can i force adept not to update a certain package? | 07:54 |
| ubunturos | pidus: if there's some form of dependency for an app, it'll update relevant packages | 07:56 |
| ubunturos | pidus: alternatively, you could right click and cancel changes, for any inadvertant updates, you may haave selected | 07:56 |
| BiteyBite | how do i change splash screen, when kde is logging me in, i dont like the default screen there? | 07:57 |
| pidus | ubunturos: but can't i disable update of a certain package. I mean, whenever I update using apt-get can't i tell it not to update a certain package. | 07:57 |
| ubunturos | BiteyBite: use Control Centre to change it | 07:57 |
| pidus | I remember there was some means to do it in ubuntu. We added a # or something before the package name in the package list file. I don't remember the exact means. | 07:58 |
| ubunturos | pidus: well, that's what i said. If there's some form of dependency, you can't stop update of a 'single' / 'particluar' package (if that's what you wanted to do) | 07:58 |
| BiteyBite | ubunturos: which option in control centre? | 07:58 |
| ubunturos | BiteyBite: Appreance and Themes (forgive typos) | 07:58 |
| pidus | ubunturos: am not talking about conflict situations. What if i want to keep an older version of say....make...even when a newer version is available (assuming that some other package doesn't need the newer version of make) | 08:00 |
| ubunturos | pidus: if I'm not wrong, when you click "Fetch Updates" adept will point out if a package needs update. If you choose not to update it, it won't | 08:00 |
| pidus | ubunturos: for example in ubuntu using synaptic you can lock a package and then it won't try to update it. | 08:01 |
| pidus | ubunturos: in that case you'll have to check the list of updates, every time you do an update of packages. | 08:01 |
| ubunturos | pidus: may be I'm not able to understand your problem well. Perhaps, someone who's reading this conversation, can help. | 08:02 |
| pidus | ubunturos: :) i'm googling for it. will write back if i find the means. | 08:02 |
| pidus | ubunturos: do you know where is the list of packages stored? just as list of repos is stored in sources.list | 08:03 |
| pidus | *list of installed packages | 08:03 |
| ubunturos | pidus: ah, I don't know. the actual packages is stored at /var/cache/apt/archives | 08:04 |
| pidus | ubunturos: ok. That I knew :) | 08:05 |
| ubunturos | pidus: man dpkg-query, should probably indicate that | 08:05 |
| pidus | ok | 08:06 |
| navetz | does anyone here know how HAL works. I amm getting Feature only available with HAL error messages and mounting issues. | 08:06 |
| pidus | ubunturos: cool, its in /var/lib/dpkg/status | 08:07 |
| ubunturos | pidus: hmm, ok. | 08:07 |

| BiteyBite | how do i change splash screen, when kde is logging me in, i dont like the default screen there? | 08:44 |
| BiteyBite | i want that finger prints style loggin me in | 08:44 |
| se7en | BiteyBite: alt+f2 ... kcontrol splash screen ... | 08:49 |
| BiteyBite | se7en: that didnt do anything | 08:52 |
| se7en | BiteyBite: you went to appearance and themes ---> splash sceen and choose fingerprint as a splash screen right | 08:54 |
| se7en | you can test it there but to see it you have to restart X = ctrl+backspace | 08:55 |
| BiteyBite | se7en: it doesnt show me splash screen option in there, i have all other but splash screen in kcontrol=>appearance & themes=> ***************** but no splash screen | 08:58 |

| aleboco | i mean, when i enable it in the k menu, it is always empty | 09:03 |
| flaccid_ | i was away for a while. is there outstanding questions? | 09:08 |
| [mad]Berry|Lappy | does anybody know what "ath0: failed to register sysctls!" this was in /var/log/messages | 09:11 |
| [mad]Berry|Lappy | means* | 09:11 |
| flaccid_ | [mad]Berry|Lappy, what did google say? | 09:11 |
| [mad]Berry|Lappy | nothing much | 09:11 |
| flaccid_ | sysctl is like a bsd/unix thing so not sure why in linux hmm | 09:12 |
| flaccid_ | are you using madwifi? | 09:12 |
| [mad]Berry|Lappy | huh yeah because this "sudo wpa_supplicant -iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dmadwifi -wd" gave the right output | 09:14 |
| jaakkome | Is there a way to empty Amarok's playlist with a shell command? | 09:14 |
| jd_ | jaakkome: i would say no | 09:16 |
| jd_ | jaakkome: you might be able to delete the playlist file if you knew where it was but one command... no | 09:17 |
| jaakkome | right, I didn't find one from man amarok, but was thinking if there's a easyish workaround | 09:18 |
| jd_ | jaakkome: why do you need it? | 09:18 |
| jaakkome | well, it's not a critical function as such :} | 09:18 |
| jd_ | ok | 09:19 |
| flaccid_ | [mad]Berry|Lappy, google returns known bugs etc. which is more than nothing much... | 09:23 |
| flaccid_ | jaakkome, should be able to with dcop | 09:23 |
| flaccid_ | jaakkome, http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/DCOP_Functions_Needed_For_Bemused_Support | 09:25 |
| jd_ | well aren't i just always wrong about things.... but i learned something too | 09:26 |
| flaccid_ | dbus/dcop is heaps cool for inter-process communication :) but i never remember its capabilities | 09:27 |
| Giskard_Reventlo | Hi. I had an adept question. Does adept updater have an ignore list. I don't wanna update my mythtv pkgs in my kubuntu frontend | 09:28 |
| jaakkome | thanks, dcop looks very useful for lot of stuff | 09:28 |
| jaakkome | *lots | 09:28 |
| [mad]Berry|Lappy | flaccid_ yeah i see sorry about that have been hacking at this for a couple of hours.... | 09:29 |
| jaakkome | the command was just "dcop amarok playlist clearPlaylist" | 09:30 |
| jd_ | well i'm sorry i was wrong... i never heard of it before either... i need to learn how to put that in my programs | 09:31 |
| flaccid_ | jaakkome, yep pretty cool eh :) | 09:31 |
| jaakkome | yeah... I've been using linux for a total of one week now and am really excited about the ability to actually use the command line as an interface | 09:32 |
| flaccid_ | yeah its totally useful for all users or at least alt+f2 and run something useful without an interactive shell | 09:33 |
| jaakkome | okay, I've got another one: I'm having some slight problems with window transparency | 09:35 |
| jaakkome | active windows don't always lose their transparency | 09:35 |
| flaccid_ | is that with desktop effects of some kind or just normal? | 09:36 |
| jaakkome | just the kde 3.5.9. normal transparency thing | 09:36 |
| flaccid_ | hmm, i guess you could ask in #kde see if they can help or search google | 09:37 |
| Tm_T | jaakkome: hmmm, KDE3 transparency thing could be bit buggy | 09:37 |
| jaakkome | well, it's a very minor problem so I guess I'll just ignore it and wait if it goes away at some point when stuff upgrades | 09:39 |
| jaakkome | happens maybe one time out of 40 when I shift focus and is corrected by shifting focus off and back again | 09:39 |

| flaccid_ | tzd, what OS is the samba server and share on? | 09:40 |
| tzd | flaccid: hmm it's an ipkg os i think... it's on my router and it's included from Asus. | 09:41 |
| flaccid_ | well the writing/perms is the responsibility of the samba server so the problem is with the router | 09:42 |
| flaccid_ | all the acls etc. are with that server | 09:42 |
| flaccid_ | try it in smb4k then show me the entry in mount and an ls -l on the mountpoint | 09:43 |
| tzd | flaccid_: when trying with win xp via vmware I'm able to write perfectly to the hdd? | 09:46 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, yeah that doesn't concluded anything. | 09:47 |
| tzd | and I've set the default access for my shares via my routers web gui to : read/write access | 09:47 |
| tzd | flaccid_: ok | 09:47 |
| flaccid_ | it may indicate that the samba server doesn't like the requests of some smb/samba clients... | 09:47 |
| tzd | flaccid_: ah i see | 09:48 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, this is why you should 1. do what i suggested above and 2. see what the error is with smbclient | 09:48 |
| tzd | flaccid_: about to... tried reinstalling all my samba related packages yesterday thinking that might be the cause. Will start smb4k asap | 09:49 |
| flaccid_ | coolio. samba is a beast, but i've conquered it many times. closed firmware on devs like routers doesn't help us :) | 09:50 |
| samret | неподскажите почему SIM может не запускаться? | 09:52 |
| samret | на 8,04 кубунту | 09:52 |
| tzd | flaccid_: ah nice :) I've actually got an open fw on my router. OLEG it's called. It's just that i was suppose to be able to use the standard asus web gui for samba according to the guide i've followed. | 09:52 |

| tzd | flaccid_: the mount points on my router are: /dev/discs/disc0/part1 -> /tmp/mnt/disc0_1 and /dev/discs/disc0/part2 -> /tmp/mnt/disc0_2 I also have a part 3 & 4 where part 3 is the swap and part 4 is mounted on /opt | 09:54 |
| === se7en is now known as ne7es | ||
| tzd | flaccid_: ls -l on /tmp/mnt = drwsrwsrwt 6 admin root 4096 May 30 02:53 disc0_1 and drwxrw-rw- 12 1000 root 4096 May 30 06:26 disc0_2 | 09:59 |
| nico__ | hola? | 10:01 |
| * flaccid_ reads messages | 10:01 | |
| flaccid_ | tzd, im talking about mounted from the client side | 10:02 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, open smb4k, double click on share to mount then check mount in konsole | 10:03 |
| flaccid_ | also what model asus and link to oleg? | 10:03 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, i have an asus wl-520gc sitting next to me as well | 10:03 |
| tzd | flaccid_: ah ok, thanks for the tip! model is asus wl-500gP. http://oleg.wl500g.info/ | 10:04 |
| flaccid_ | well i would be checking the smb.conf or equiv on that firmware for a start as well + the unix perms on the fs itself | 10:05 |
| tzd | flaccid_: //ASUSNET/disc0_1 on /home/johan/smb4k/ASUSNET/disc0_1 type cifs (rw,mand,nosuid,nodev,user=johan) and //ASUSNET/disc0_2 on /home/johan/smb4k/ASUSNET/disc0_2 type cifs (rw,mand,nosuid,nodev,user=johan) | 10:05 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, which one can't write to? both? | 10:06 |
| tzd | flaccid_: yes both | 10:06 |
| flaccid_ | ls -l /home/johan/smb4k/ASUSNET/disc0_1 please | 10:06 |
| tzd | flaccid_: in case i forgot to mention it: i can write folders, but no files | 10:06 |
| flaccid_ | and is that new or existing files or both? | 10:07 |
| tzd | flaccid_: s -l /home/johan/smb4k/ASUSNET/disc0_1 = drwxr-xr-x 1 johan adm 0 2008-05-26 23:40 Bilder and a few other folders with the same permissions | 10:08 |
| tzd | flaccid_: both, not able to create new files and not able to copy or move existing files | 10:08 |
| flaccid_ | and you are current user johan? | 10:10 |
| tzd | flaccid_: yes | 10:10 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, output of touch /home/johan/smb4k/ASUSNET/disc0_1 TEST.txt | 10:10 |
| flaccid_ | please | 10:10 |
| tzd | flaccid_: hmm no output | 10:11 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, now file /home/johan/smb4k/ASUSNET/disc0_1 TEST.txt please | 10:12 |
| flaccid_ | i mean file /home/johan/smb4k/ASUSNET/disc0_1/TEST.txt | 10:12 |
| flaccid_ | if that returns ascii run ls -l on that file location | 10:13 |
| tzd | flaccid_: hmm the first cmd you gave me seems to work , the second one says no such file or directory | 10:14 |
| tzd | flaccid_: the first one: | 10:15 |
| tzd | johan@Penguin:~$ file /home/johan/smb4k/ASUSNET/disc0_1 TEST.txt | 10:15 |
| tzd | /home/johan/smb4k/ASUSNET/disc0_1: directory | 10:15 |
| tzd | TEST.txt: empty | 10:15 |
| flaccid_ | try echo "test" >> /home/johan/smb4k/ASUSNET/disc0_1/TEST.txt | 10:15 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, i gave incorrect command first. | 10:15 |
| flaccid_ | was missing slash | 10:15 |
| tzd | flaccid_: i see, the output of the second cmd was: | 10:16 |
| tzd | file /home/johan/smb4k/ASUSNET/disc0_1/TEST.txt | 10:16 |
| tzd | /home/johan/smb4k/ASUSNET/disc0_1/TEST.txt: ERROR: cannot open `/home/johan/smb4k/ASUSNET/disc0_1/TEST.txt' (No such file or directory) | 10:16 |

| flaccid_ | also ls -l /home/johan/smb4k/ASUSNET | 10:18 |
| flaccid_ | pastebin please | 10:18 |
| flaccid_ | and whoami is johan? | 10:19 |
| tzd | flaccid_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15755/ | 10:19 |
| tzd | flaccid_: yes whoami returns johan | 10:19 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, and on /home/johan/smb4k/ASUSNET | 10:19 |
| tzd | flaccid_: whoami in the ASUSNET folder returns johan | 10:21 |
| flaccid_ | nah ls -l /home/johan/smb4k/ASUSNET | 10:21 |
| tzd | flaccid_: oh, ok :) Sorry bout that | 10:21 |

| VIRIIMIND | where to find gadgets for kubuntu 8.04? | 10:23 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, all local perms are fine. problem is router. either the config on it or a mismatch in uids. you should see the config of samba and the logs on the router. | 10:23 |
| flaccid_ | VIRIIMIND, what is a gadget? | 10:23 |
| VIRIIMIND | lol... leave it... | 10:24 |
| flaccid_ | leave what sorry? | 10:24 |
| tzd | flaccid_: ok thanks! According to the guide I've been following i can install samba on the router manually as well.... i'll do that and hopefully this will be solved | 10:25 |
| VIRIIMIND | flaccid_ i want to show ma processor, memory, disk, temp statues on ma desktop | 10:25 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, well samba is installed already objviously so why reinstall when you can configure? also you never checked smbclient... | 10:26 |
| Pennycook | You mean widget? | 10:26 |
| VIRIIMIND | oh ya | 10:26 |
| VIRIIMIND | ma mistake | 10:26 |
| VIRIIMIND | :D | 10:26 |
| flaccid_ | !superkaramba | VIRIIMIND | 10:26 |
| ubottu | VIRIIMIND: superkaramba is an application that gives you interactive eye-candy on your desktop. To get themes for it, head over to http://kde-look.org | 10:26 |
| tzd | flaccid_: it's just that i don't know where to find the samba config on the router | 10:26 |
| VIRIIMIND | ok | 10:26 |
| VIRIIMIND | thanks | 10:26 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, see documentation or search for it | 10:26 |
| flaccid_ | i woudln't be using a firmware that has just a dodgy forum.. | 10:27 |
| flaccid_ | which is why dd-wrt is more suitable for your router | 10:27 |
| tzd | hmm i'll have a look on that then too | 10:27 |
| tzd | flaccid_: thanks for all your help! | 10:28 |
| flaccid_ | np | 10:28 |
| [mad]Berry|Lappy | finally wireless thanks everyone for the help...... | 10:30 |
| flaccid_ | [mad]Berry|Lappy, what you end up doing? | 10:31 |
| [mad]Berry|Lappy | figured out that an instance of networkmanager was still running after closing that wireless worked fine | 10:33 |
| flaccid_ | um rightio then | 10:33 |
| flaccid_ | i hope it continues to do so.. | 10:33 |
| [mad]Berry|Lappy | i hope so too lol | 10:35 |
| tzd | flaccid_: found the samba config on the router. According to what I've seen on google it looks pretty ok.... not sure what might be wrong in it? | 10:37 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, not sure how you woul assume its ok. pastebin it. | 10:37 |
| flaccid_ | unless you are a samba expert, never assume its 'ok'.. | 10:38 |
| josa | i can do "konsole --workdir /directory/ -e /directory/program.exe"... is there any way to start a program in Yakuake :/? | 10:38 |
| flaccid_ | start a program? externally via script? | 10:40 |
| josa | yes.. in yakuake, that thing does it in konsole | 10:40 |
| flaccid_ | josa, did you check man yakuake or google? answers are there | 10:41 |
| josa | man yakuake is like 5 lines.. and nothing on google | 10:41 |
| flaccid_ | hmm | 10:41 |
| flaccid_ | my bad | 10:41 |
| flaccid_ | i will find then | 10:41 |
| cartman | Did anyone try installing KUbuntu on a MacBook Pro ? | 10:42 |
| flaccid_ | josa, did you try yakuake /what/i/want/to/run | 10:42 |
| josa | yes, i think ive tried that one | 10:42 |
| tzd | flaccid_: http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/2078/printmn5.png //can't copy/paste in my version of putty :/ | 10:42 |
| josa | but ill check | 10:42 |
| flaccid_ | josa, check the yakuake dcop commands as well | 10:44 |
| tzd | josa: have you tried changing the default terminal application to yakuake? | 10:44 |
| * flaccid_ looking tzd | 10:44 | |
| josa | yes it is set to yakuake.. havent restarted though | 10:44 |
| tzd | ok | 10:45 |
| tzd | not sure if it would help restarting but maybe? | 10:45 |
| tzd | flaccid_: just realised that the above lines "vi smb.conf" are not used. Realised i could change the share name there so just wanted to try it out and then you wanted to have a look so i changed back to default :) | 10:47 |
| flaccid_ | huh | 10:47 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, first problem i see is user = share | 10:48 |
| flaccid_ | oops. i mean security = share | 10:48 |
| flaccid_ | also guest only = yes in global ! | 10:48 |
| needhelp | hi i logging in a machine where all commands it sayss Input/output error.. even i want to restart the machine using shutdown -r now, its saying the same thing.. anyone knows the command to restart using init ? | 10:48 |
| flaccid_ | the force user could be a problem too. basically this samba server configuration sux! from this firmware provider. | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | hey all | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | if i use virtualbox and mount a usb stick as hda and the ubuntu cd to boot, can I install to usb stick that way. Ive seen walkthroughs but then it came to me. Is this a viable solution? | 10:49 |
| tzd | flaccid_: ok, well the samba cfg is from asus. Should i just remove those lines you've just mentioned? | 10:50 |
| flaccid_ | might be able to find more info on using yakuake stuff at http://yakuake.uv.ro/ | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | yakuake is AWESOME | 10:50 |
| tzd | yeah | 10:50 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, yeah obviously they suck. you want to change it to security = user and take off the guest. keep in mind they could be there because of lack of user implementation in the firmware. so yeah... | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | tzd: is it possible to do an install to usb with virtualbox to setup the drive? | 10:51 |
| flaccid_ | needhelp, did you search google? | 10:52 |
| tzd | just out of curiosity.... ActionParsnip, who do you get help from when you have a problem? To me your'e the one that helps everyone with difficult issues. hehe and now you're asking me, the newbie dude :D | 10:52 |
| tzd | flaccid_: ok but that will only set the security higher right? | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | i dont have all the answers, i just start at basic stuff the noobs dont see first. Ive noticed that people in forums really go for the jugular when it comes to troubleshooting | 10:53 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, no. wtf would you assume that :) | 10:53 |
| flaccid_ | like i said if they havnt mapped smb users to shell user then yeah... | 10:53 |
| flaccid_ | thus the force user. doesn't sound like they know much about security let alone smb | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | E.g. User: I cant print to my <fancy printer name>. HelperPerson: Oh you need to compile this module and put it in your kernel configure, make, make install etc | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | without getting any info about the situation. its hilarious | 10:54 |
| tzd | flaccid_: well you're the only one that can guide me through this mess so whatever you say is my command :) | 10:54 |
| flaccid_ | yeah | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid_: can virtualbox be used to complete a usbstick install of *Ubuntu ?? | 10:55 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, the users/perms etc. on this firmware i don't know so i can't say if user mode will even work. you may need to smbpasswd or creat user map. | 10:56 |
| tzd | flaccid_: let's see. Guest ok and Guest only = remove? | 10:56 |
| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, sorry never used | 10:56 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, you don't need either | 10:56 |
| josa | ActionParsnip: since youre here, you know anything similar in Yakuake to "konsole --workdir /dir/ -e /dir/prog.exe" :) | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid_: hmm, might give it a whirl. I'll let you know :) | 10:56 |
| flaccid_ | k | 10:56 |
| flaccid_ | josa, i guess you were too lazy to look at the resources i mentioned | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | josa: what's it do? | 10:57 |
| josa | it opens a program using that work directory | 10:57 |
| flaccid_ | needhelp, init 6 iirc | 10:57 |
| tzd | flaccid_: should i remove the forceuser as well? | 10:57 |
| flaccid_ | tzd, maybe. i mean have a think about why its there... | 10:58 |
| tzd | flaccid_: ok | 10:58 |
| flaccid_ | its bad security at the best | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | josa: you could make a bash script to cd to the folder then execute it, this would make the working dir work. Not had to do anything fancy like that myself | 10:59 |
| josa | hmm | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | josa: or put it on a single line with a ';' separating the commands | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | you could even alias it | 11:00 |
| josa | well.. it seems ill try that then | 11:00 |
| flaccid_ | it won't be able to do what josa wants | 11:00 |
| flaccid_ | and the yakuake site is poorly documented | 11:00 |
| josa | more like not documented at all :/ | 11:00 |
| needhelp | flaccid thanks | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | josa: id do that stuff in konsole and run every day stuff in yakuake | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | damn why wont commands autocomplete in irc :( | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | that be sweet | 11:01 |
| needhelp | flaccid is it just init 6 -t 0 ? | 11:01 |
| josa | yeah, it seems thats the way ill have to do too | 11:01 |
| flaccid_ | josa, contact yakuake and complain | 11:01 |
| josa | lol.. i think ill just wait for a new version | 11:02 |
| needhelp | no effect.. i can't use shutdown it says -bash: /sbin/shutdown: Input/output error .. urgh.. and i'm not on that site now :( | 11:02 |
| flaccid_ | needhelp, i dont know. couldn't quickly find info on ubuntu's runlevels | 11:02 |
| flaccid_ | needhelp, i/o error is usually hardware damage. | 11:02 |
| flaccid_ | josa, no idea how thats going to help :) | 11:02 |
| needhelp | dart..guess i'll have to make a trip down | 11:02 |
| flaccid_ | needhelp, or use google | 11:03 |
| josa | well it doesnt.. ill just use bot konsole and yakuake :/ | 11:03 |
| flaccid_ | you can be more active than that | 11:04 |
| flaccid_ | you can try #kde and #yakuake and mail them and also find out how to use dcop to list what yakuake can provide.. | 11:04 |
| josa | im googling those dcop commands now | 11:05 |
| josa | as youve probably noticed, im a noob | 11:05 |
| jaakkome | is adding a .desktop file to ~/.kde/Autostart the proper way to start autostart applications or should I do it some other way? | 11:05 |
| flaccid_ | josa, im not having much luck either. could be replaced by dbus in this case | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | im going to run a fluxbuntu file server with sound so I can play MP3s remotely. I have an AMD64. Will 64bitness help me any? | 11:06 |
| flaccid_ | jaakkome, usually a symlink to the binary is fine or make a custom script in autostart | 11:07 |
| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, yes if its all native down the line | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | how? | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | its going to be a samba share with sshd so i can play stuff via mplayer | 11:08 |
| flaccid_ | 65bit processing | 11:08 |
| flaccid_ | 64 even | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | all cli based but using fluxbox to setup initially | 11:08 |
| flaccid_ | your question is not about software itself | 11:09 |
| flaccid_ | ie. they didn't make 64bit if there was not going to be a benefit | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid_: i guessed that but what will the noticable difference be? | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | 64 bit is good for computations in mathematical stuff and 3d rendering gains massively | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | as well as gaming engines being more precise | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | but for a crappy server? | 11:10 |
| flaccid_ | josa, the commands dcop and open dcop i believe. im not at home atm, i can't test | 11:10 |
| flaccid_ | wtf | 11:10 |
| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, i guess you don't know about how processing works. | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid i know about fetch - execute etc | 11:11 |
| flaccid_ | 64bit = 2x the bandwidth of processing of 32bit. so when it performs the same speed it processes twice as many bits | 11:11 |
| flaccid_ | thats in theory of course.. | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid_: makes sense | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | oh indeed, everythingin theory works perfectly | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | ok well i'll hold out. ive got a 32bit xp dell lappy here i could do a usb install with but its destined for a semp 3000 AM2 | 11:12 |
| flaccid_ | well in your case you might have more luck running it as a server than desktop depending on what userland programs you run. 64bit support on desktop is woeful. | 11:12 |
| jaakkome | flaccid: so I can just make a text file, write all the commands I want to run at startup, save it at .kde/Autostart and chmod u+x it, right? | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | so i'll do it properly | 11:12 |
| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, no point in buying a 64bit chip if you don't use it. | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | jaakkome: you'll need the hash bang bin bash at the top too :) | 11:13 |
| flaccid_ | jaakkome, yeah it will just run whatever it can exec in the autostart folder | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid_: its all thats available but i see your point | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid_: well..for cheap anyhoo | 11:13 |
| flaccid_ | all you do is check support. if you can run all you need in 64bit then do it. | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | oh i can. its not gonna be a desktop rig so its fine :) | 11:14 |
| jaakkome | woo, I made a script. Can I add programming skills into my cv now? | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | jaakkome: nearly ;) | 11:14 |
| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, totally | 11:15 |
| josa | can you do "hello world"? | 11:15 |
| flaccid_ | jaakkome, totally | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid_: won't he need #!/bin/bash at the top of his script? | 11:15 |
| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, depends on the script | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | jaakkome: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-10.html try the top program :) | 11:16 |
| flaccid_ | but i assumed that given the user was talking about scripting like they knew it | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid_: I always put it in (old skool) | 11:16 |
| flaccid_ | #!/bin/sh is fine unless you need bash for something | 11:16 |
| flaccid_ | nah its not old school, its mandatory | 11:16 |
| flaccid_ | otherwise head will fai. | 11:16 |
| flaccid_ | fail | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | oh then i covered my ass | 11:17 |
| flaccid_ | totally | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | ok well i gots my weekend planned | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | burn fluxbuntu, install to 5gb partition, install to USB stick, verify, wipe entire 80Gb drive, configure samba / wifi / sshd, put pc in cupboard. forget about it :) | 11:19 |
| flaccid_ | only check cooling | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | oh will do | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | its an asus pundit p1-ah2 POS, 1gb ddr2 40W PSU | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | onboard everything | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | wifi | 11:23 |
| flaccid_ | cool | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | everything works out of the box | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | :D | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | www.efficientpc.co.uk is where I got it | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | uk seller of Linux based preinstalled systems | 11:25 |
| flaccid_ | im confused. why did you need help? why did you have to use virtualisation? | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | hmm actually | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | can i tell the installer to instal to usb from the live environment? | 11:27 |
| flaccid_ | you said your provider was a provider of preinstalled systems | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | yeah | 11:27 |
| flaccid_ | !install | ActionParsnip | 11:28 |

| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, yeah that provider is pretty crap... | 11:32 |
| feeble | Could someone tell me why there's no info of the changes that were made for a gcc update? The requested URL /changelogs/pool/main/g/gcc-defaults/gcc-defaults_4.2.3-1ubuntu5/changelog was not found on this server. This seems a little bit fishy. | 11:33 |
| starenka | hullo | 11:33 |

| starenka | can sbdy help me with my dcop / kwallet / shell problem? | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid_: system is fine for me. runs fine :) | 11:34 |
| feeble | stdin: Okay, but I get this message since more than 3 hours. | 11:34 |
| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, my comment was not about the system.. | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | well thats what I see, whats up with them? | 11:35 |
| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, is there anything they can provide besides the hardware? it just looks like a commericial load of crap to me | 11:36 |
| feeble | stdin: Do you have a url handy where there's more info about the intend change? | 11:36 |
| feeble | intended | 11:36 |
| stdin | feeble: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-defaults will have the changes before changelogs.u.c | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | they give loads of email support and phone support. they recognise people want to upgradetheir systems sodont mind users opening their systems to add hardware | 11:36 |
| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, thats quite redundant. | 11:37 |

| ActionParsnip | just fancied a linux preinstalled system to see if theyd add a load of gumf like dell etc do, seemed fine | 11:37 |
| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, there is more to being a linux hardware provider than selecting some hardware that works and then responding to emails.. | 11:37 |
| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, yeah unfortunately you didn't get any benefit.. | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | true enough, but the systems solid soim happy enough | 11:38 |
| stdin | feeble: looks like aptitude is looking in the wrong place though, odd | 11:38 |
| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, you can spend far less and get better support :) | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | i use the linux community. i have all the support i need | 11:39 |
| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, exactly. no need to go to them :) i mean if they provided some more details on their support scope and some actual support on their website, im sure i'd be more pro-activ about them. but all they offer is selling.. | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip | it was more to see what linux preinstalled was going to deliver with the actual system itself, and if it was going to be badged etc, apps already installed etc etc | 11:41 |
| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, so what happend? and whats the go with going to virtualbox and installation? i mean wtf? | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | i can throw pcs together no problem, just wanted to sample linux preinstalled | 11:42 |
| flaccid_ | interesting.. and what was the result? | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid_: i have my mork lappy here and was going to install fluxbuntu to it so I could jam it in at home | 11:42 |
| flaccid_ | oh jam it in as in run from .iso or something? | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid_: very little. I just got a pc that i didnt build with beryl on it which was removed after a matter of hours | 11:43 |
| flaccid_ | not sure what you mean. what was the result out of box? | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | was an ok rig (if thats what you mean) | 11:44 |
| flaccid_ | what didn't work? | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | nothing. it all works | 11:44 |
| flaccid_ | cool | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | even if i do a vanilla install it all works with whats on the cd | 11:45 |
| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, did multiple displays work out of box? | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | i dont use it so i wouldnt know | 11:45 |
| flaccid_ | also was samba configured? | 11:45 |
| flaccid_ | anyway. i would only expect that of a provider that does more than installing the OS. | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | samba was not configured but when you order you can ask for things to be configured | 11:46 |
| flaccid_ | ok cool | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | but i guess for the less informed this is fairly redundant | 11:46 |
| flaccid_ | a provider should show a strategy, they dont. | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | indeed | 11:47 |
| flaccid_ | it looks more a case of trying to use a foss to make money with not much back to the community if anything let alone decent support to the end users. but hey thats my opinion. i have high standards - at least thats what people think. i don't have high standards, i just have standards. | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | i just fancied giving it a go. i chose them randomly and had the cash spare | 11:49 |
| flaccid_ | yaaa sweet in that respect | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | id suggest just buying parts that are very linux compatible and throwing it together yourself. same deal | 11:50 |
| flaccid_ | yep, agreed upon there. but i do believe there should be good linux hardware/software in one providers. | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | indeed | 11:51 |
| flaccid_ | so that end/normal users can jsut choose like your experiment | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | mind you dell are jumping over to OSS | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | even releasing an "eeepc killer" the mini inspiron | 11:52 |
| flaccid_ | for example, they would have to know to request samba config whereis a normal user would complain that network doesn't work after they get home.... but one could argue thats the responsibilty of the OS. but then again this is post-installation.. | 11:52 |
| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, yes but dell linux support is not as great as what they claim and what people say | 11:52 |
| flaccid_ | only about 80%+ of the dells i have had work out of box without problem | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | dell suck anyway, the only thing dell shaped i like is DRAC | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid, most of our servers are Dell based | 11:53 |
| flaccid_ | dell is fine. my US server is dell | 11:53 |
| flaccid_ | some component choices are not actually linux supported very well at all thats all | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | we have citrix farms and sql servers on dell | 11:54 |
| jhoc2x2 | how to change to freenode? | 11:54 |

| ActionParsnip | oh | 12:20 |

| ActionParsnip | mine was a guess | 12:20 |
| Pennycook_ | Thanks stdin. :) | 12:20 |
| stdin | :) | 12:20 |
| flaccid_ | hehe | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | blank passwords are silly | 12:22 |
| flaccid_ | yeah sillier than my nick thats for sure | 12:23 |

| ActionParsnip | couldnt you just change it to blank then verify as blank or is that disabled | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | or captured | 12:25 |
| flaccid_ | yeah see man passwd | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | i'll check it | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | The encrypted password field may be blank, in which case no password is required to authenticate as the specified login name. However, some applications which read the /etc/passwd file may decide not to permit any access at all if the password field is blank. | 12:27 |

| ActionParsnip | mefisto__: try ps -A see if apt-get is runningin the background | 12:33 |
| flaccid_ | the problem is with dpkg sub process not apt | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | just pulled it off a forum | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221115 | 12:34 |
| flaccid_ | mefisto__, it doesn't show the script errors, try installing the packages from the apt-cache with dpkg and see if you get the actual errors | 12:35 |
| flaccid_ | anyone can post to ubuntu forums :) | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | isnt there a weird apt-get command like apt-get install -f or something that may help | 12:36 |
| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, oh that forum is based on a totally different error as well | 12:36 |
| mefisto__ | ActionParsnip: I tried that, same errors | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid_: bah | 12:36 |
| flaccid_ | ActionParsnip, thats a fuzzy logic script | 12:36 |
| flaccid_ | so if we install manually with dpkg it should not supress the error like apt seems to have | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | mefisto__: tried apt-get remove --purge <package name> | 12:38 |
| mefisto__ | ActionParsnip: same error trying to remove or reinstall | 12:38 |
| * flaccid_ waits for dpkg output | 12:38 | |

| ActionParsnip | mefisto__: seems fine to me | 12:39 |
| flaccid_ | mefisto__, yeah but its in /var/cache/apt i believe | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | if thats where the deb file is | 12:40 |

| ActionParsnip | not sure | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ive done it a few times before and it fixed stuff | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | try both (?) | 12:51 |
| mefisto__ | the one I typed configures unconfigured things (eg, not fully installed packages) but I think dpkg-reconfigure reconfigures everything installed. and it | 12:53 |

| icqnumber | what size have kubuntu packges (kubuntu-desktop) ? | 12:56 |
| ForgeAus | icq kubuntu-desktop is more a wrapper package, it itself is likely only a matter of k... as for the packages it depends on, I wouldn't know personally | 12:57 |
| tzd-- | my network is really messed up on my kubuntu hardy i think. Which dirs do i need to backup to keep my applications and their settings if i reinstall kubuntu please? | 12:58 |
| ForgeAus | tzd, applications can be anywhere, although for the most part they're somewhere in the /usr part of the directory structure | 12:59 |
| icqnumber | oooh i see 641 mb | 12:59 |
| ForgeAus | as for settings, they TEND to be under /etc/ | 12:59 |
| ForgeAus | thats just in general | 12:59 |
| mefisto__ | tzd--: your home directory has all the app settings. as for the applications, you have to reinstall them. but there is a way to write the list of installed packages to a text file, then use that text file to kind of automate reinstalling what you have now | 13:00 |
| tzd-- | ForgeAus, ok... I've copied the folders (etc, usr, home) manually to a backup drive so if i then paste them back it should be ok? | 13:00 |
| ForgeAus | um most likely tzd, you might have trouble copying links however | 13:01 |
| ForgeAus | its better to use a backup program than copy files if links are involved, I can't promise you where they are linked to will be maintained correctly via copying | 13:01 |
| tzd-- | mefisto__ hmm that sounds quite nice... although i probably haev a lot of rubbish on there as well so... For instance kontact and Kmail. The settings i've specified for accounts, colours and so on, will they all be saved in my home folder? | 13:02 |
| apparle | ALSA doesnot work in my computer. But OSS does work. Is there any way I can configure all the packages like KDE etc to use OSS directly (with alternate CD) | 13:02 |
| tzd-- | ForgeAus ah ok... well I'll jus write down the most important apps and then I'll reinstall them again | 13:02 |
| ForgeAus | apparle that probably depends on the applications themselves... | 13:02 |
| ForgeAus | tzd, as long as adept/dpkg works you can always reinstall ones from the repositories... | 13:03 |
| mefisto__ | tzd--: I think you should use apt to reinstall apps, not simply copy files back to /etc or /usr. and yes, all the settings will be in your home dir, so when you reinstall a program, you'll still have things set up the way they are now | 13:03 |
| tzd-- | mefisto__ ah ok, no worries for a reinstall then :) Will a reinstall solve potential network problems? seems like it's really messed up and a few services might be missing | 13:04 |

| e_x_treme | sera | 13:05 |
| tzd-- | mefisto__mmm, so when i reinstall should i specify immediately (during partition) where my home partition is? I already have it on a separate partition | 13:06 |
| mefisto__ | tzd--: if you already have a separate home partition, you don't need a backup, just linux to the partition where it is now, and then make sure after install the home partition is mounted correctly and it is being used as /home/tzd-username/ (or whatever) | 13:09 |
| mefisto__ | I'm not sure what the k/ubuntu installer does. maybe someone else remembers? | 13:09 |
| tzd-- | mefisto__ah ok... well I'm downloading kubuntu now so in a few hours I'm back on my kubuntu machine hopefully :) Thanks for your help! | 13:11 |
| mefisto__ | tzd--: but your network problems might be settings in your home dir | 13:11 |
| * flaccid_ is back | 13:11 | |

| tzd-- | mefisto__could be but it could also be something else and well I've done a few things a few months back that I'm not too proud of... about a month into the whole Linux experience i was fiddling a bit and most likely messed things up | 13:12 |

| belzebub | i get Cannot find mozilla runtime directory. Exiting. | 14:10 |
| flaccid_ | its the extras plus medibuntu plus at least one more thing to get most of them | 14:11 |

| The_ManU_212 | hi | 14:11 |
| The_ManU_212 | i wanted to know if all my devices are ok or if there went something wrong with fsck | 14:11 |
| The_ManU_212 | http://pastebin.com/m1de93f68 | 14:11 |
| belzebub | flaccid_: yeah, and i read what u sent me, it diesn't work | 14:11 |
| The_ManU_212 | perhaps FAT32 partition and /dev/sdb3? | 14:12 |
| flaccid_ | !doesntwork | belzebub | 14:12 |
| ubottu | belzebub: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 14:12 |
| belzebub | doesnt | 14:12 |
| The_ManU_212 | and waht is wrong? | 14:12 |
| flaccid_ | The_ManU_212, most likely all is well. i've had that behaviour before myself | 14:12 |
| belzebub | i moved firefox to /usr/local firefox and created a symbolic link to firefox in /usr/local/bin | 14:13 |
| The_ManU_212 | flaccid_ so you get also this error 1? | 14:13 |
| belzebub | but still gives me same error when i start it | 14:13 |
| flaccid_ | The_ManU_212, have in the past | 14:13 |
| flaccid_ | belzebub, i don't remember let alone what the error is.. | 14:13 |
| flaccid_ | sorry what is minefield? | 14:14 |
| The_ManU_212 | flaccid_ and why did it stop? | 14:14 |
| leon | hey leute | 14:14 |
| flaccid_ | The_ManU_212, i couldn't work it out. there was nothing wrong but did liek what yours did. no reason for an exit but it did | 14:14 |
| belzebub | minefeield is firefox3 | 14:14 |
| flaccid_ | belzebub, i don't recall telling you to do that. | 14:14 |
| flaccid_ | belzebub, are you using packages or from source? | 14:15 |
| The_ManU_212 | flaccid_ but /dev/sdb3 should be a reason for exit isnt it and is 3.3% non-contigous not too much? | 14:15 |
| belzebub | u gave me a link to a webpage that talked about the error and that what it sais to do | 14:15 |
| poison | flaccid_, seems i dont have xinetd.d at all | 14:15 |
| flaccid_ | poison, need to install it as per the wiki page | 14:15 |
| flaccid_ | belzebub, dpkg -l | grep firefox please | 14:16 |
| flaccid_ | The_ManU_212, why should sdb3 be a reason sorry? 3.3 is fine | 14:16 |
| flaccid_ | oh because its fat? yeah you are right that could be the reason and likely the same reason for me in the past | 14:16 |
| belzebub | flaccid_: this is the downloaded package, not from repos, | 14:17 |
| flaccid_ | belzebub, we don't really support that here. you could try #firefox | 14:17 |
| flaccid_ | belzebub, downloaded from where sorry? | 14:17 |
| belzebub | flaccid_: i'm there already | 14:17 |
| The_ManU_212 | flaccid_: what for a figure of non-contigous could be worring? | 14:18 |
| shane2peru | quick question, how do I get things to start on login like conky? | 14:18 |
| shane2peru | I'm sure there is a simple way, I just don't know what it is :) | 14:18 |
| flaccid_ | The_ManU_212, i couldn't really say. but i'd be worried myself it it went over 10 | 14:18 |
| nosrednaekim | !autostart | 14:18 |
| ubottu | To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. For a complete guide, see http://jucato.org/kde/kde-autostart.html | 14:18 |
| flaccid_ | !autostart | shane2peru | 14:18 |
| ubottu | shane2peru: please see above | 14:18 |
| shane2peru | flaccid nosrednaekim thanks :) | 14:19 |
| The_ManU_212 | flaccid_ ok thx, but /dev/sdb3 is ext3 | 14:19 |
| flaccid_ | belzebub, which package is it, i wouldn't mind trying... any reason not to use repos? because its old? | 14:19 |
| navetz | what is a good way to benchmark your system? | 14:19 |
| nosrednaekim | !benchmark | 14:19 |
| ubottu | Factoid benchmark not found | 14:19 |
| flaccid_ | The_ManU_212, yeah ext3 doesn't need defrag | 14:19 |
| flaccid_ | !defrag > The_ManU_212 | 14:20 |
| poison | flaccid_, worked!! thanks alot | 14:21 |
| === valerio is now known as Valerio | ||
| belzebub | flaccid_: well, i don't use the one from repos because i update everyday to the daily build and the update is disabled | 14:21 |
| The_ManU_212 | flaccid_ so you thing this exit status one could be reason of FAT32 and has no relation to /dev/sdb3, even ts below of /dev/sdb3 | 14:21 |
| === Valerio is now known as Alen | ||
| === Alen is now known as AlenDulus | ||
| The_ManU_212 | and what could be the reason of wrong clusters, with auto-correcting, allw ent fine i think? | 14:22 |
| flaccid_ | The_ManU_212, i have no idea why sorry.. | 14:22 |
| flaccid_ | belzebub, are you on 32 or 64 bit? | 14:23 |
| belzebub | flaccid_: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ ...second link from the top, is what im using | 14:23 |
| shane2peru | ok, one more, I started with a gnome install and then installed Kubuntu-desktop, now everytime I boot into kde the Gnome desktop search program (I forget it's name) starts up and is in the icon tray, how do I get rid of that? | 14:23 |
| belzebub | flaccid_: 32bit | 14:23 |
| flaccid_ | shane2peru, either close the program then logout then in or disable sessions | 14:24 |
| belzebub | flaccid_: i mean second file, third link | 14:24 |
| flaccid_ | shane2peru, (unless autostart or something is calling it explicitly) | 14:24 |
| shane2peru | flaccid_ I'm not sure where to find it, it automatically starts up, and I didn't set it to do that. :) So somewhere something is calling it. | 14:25 |
| shane2peru | flaccid_: I'm not sure where to find it in KDE, in Gnome I know exactly where to disable it. :) | 14:26 |
| flaccid_ | belzebub, only problem is im not at home atm on ubuntu im on windows eek. i can test then but yeah google aint helping much you are right.. | 14:26 |
| flaccid_ | shane2peru, i gave you the required instructions.. | 14:27 |
| shane2peru | flaccid_ Ahh, Tracker is the name of that prog, | 14:27 |
| shane2peru | flaccid_ I don't understand this "either close the program then logout then in or disable sessions" | 14:27 |
| belzebub | flaccid_: alright, don't worry about it, thank you | 14:27 |
| shane2peru | flaccid_: the close the program is fine, logout ok, disable sessions? | 14:28 |
| flaccid_ | shane2peru, kde uses sessions so it opens programs you had open from last login so if you kill the program then logout and it STILL re-appears, something else is calling it and not sessions.. | 14:28 |
| shane2peru | flaccid_ ok something is calling it then, because I never opened it. :) | 14:29 |
| shane2peru | flaccid_ I'll figure it out, I thought there was a simple answer. thanks | 14:30 |
| flaccid_ | shane2peru, look in ~/.kde/Autostart | 14:30 |
| flaccid_ | shane2peru, and ask gnome/ubuntu people what could be doing it | 14:31 |
| flaccid_ | shane2peru, i also did give a simple answer :) we are working with something that is not simple anyway | 14:31 |
| shane2peru | flaccid_ yeah I looked there, just found several places it starts with mlocate trackerd :) | 14:31 |
| shane2peru | flaccid_ ha ha, yeah, I like to know the inner workings :) | 14:31 |
| shane2peru | flaccid_ it is in /etc/xdg/autostart /usr/share/autostart/ | 14:32 |
| shane2peru | flaccid_ thanks for the help, I think that should fix it, course I probably won't log out or reboot for a few days | 14:33 |
| shane2peru | so I won't know for a while | 14:33 |
| flaccid_ | shane2peru, oh yeah. the freedesktop global standard. how did i forget. thanks for reminding me! | 14:33 |
| shane2peru | flaccid_ ha ha, I don't know nothing about that, lol. ok, be back later | 14:33 |
| flaccid_ | but how it got to global share is something that shouldn't have happend | 14:34 |
| flaccid_ | cool catchya | 14:34 |

| flaccid_ | community manager i said hi! | 14:51 |
| shane2peru | flaccid_: ok, back, which is the global share? | 14:52 |
| shane2peru | flaccid_ oh, wait, probably the /usr/share/autostart lol | 14:53 |
| flaccid_ | yeah i always forget about them /usr/share .desktop entires because DEs take over the desktop.. | 14:53 |

| frybye | have booted from the acronis recovery cd... | 15:37 |

| frybye | it only has us english and does not let me change or install any other languages... | 15:40 |

| nosrednaekim | is the monitor plugged in correctly? | 16:02 |
| jeremy__ | it should be. it was working fine a few minutes ago. i'll try booting into windows and see how that looks | 16:02 |

| Pici | genii: apology accepted | 16:06 |
| BluesKaj | Georgij, makes no difference if you burned it on solaris or any other OS , you should ask in ##windows | 16:06 |
| Georgij | why | 16:07 |
| Georgij | I dont thrust those bastards because I burned an image | 16:07 |
| frybye | Georgij: cos this is a # specifically for kubuntu stuff and you are asking basically windows stuff.. that is the argument... | 16:07 |

| roodog | Greendingbat, what browser do you have? | 17:28 |
| Greendingbat | i am trying to install Flock | 17:28 |
| jhutchins_wk | Greendingbat: Generally it's better to use the package managers to install software rather than manually downloading and installing things. | 17:28 |
| jhutchins_wk | !find flock | 17:29 |
| ubottu | Found: libfile-flock-perl | 17:29 |
| Greendingbat | oh | 17:29 |
| Greendingbat | there it si | 17:29 |
| Greendingbat | is* | 17:29 |
| Greendingbat | sweet | 17:29 |
| Greendingbat | so, sudo apt-get install libfile-flock? | 17:29 |
| Greendingbat | or something of that nature? | 17:29 |
| Xbehave | !identify | 17:29 |
| ubottu | You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, or a typo may give away your password. If that happened, type « /msg NickServ set password <new-password> » in the server tab as soon as possible. | 17:29 |
| Xbehave | how do i get an identity? | 17:30 |
| llutz | !register | 17:30 |
| ubottu | Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. | 17:30 |
| Xbehave | Greendingbat: i dont think that is flock | 17:30 |
| jhutchins_wk | Greendingbat: That's not the web browser, that's something else. | 17:31 |
| Greendingbat | what? | 17:31 |
| Greendingbat | http://flock.com/ | 17:31 |
| Greendingbat | it's a webbrowser | 17:31 |
| Xbehave | flock is the firefox based browser right? | 17:31 |
| Greendingbat | yeah | 17:31 |
| jhutchins_wk | Greendingbat: Given that we don't appear to have a flock package available, you're probably best off finding their install instructions. | 17:31 |
| Greendingbat | k, i'll try that | 17:31 |
| Greendingbat | hey, how do i get java? | 17:32 |
| mefisto__ | Greendingbat: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Flock | 17:32 |
| Greendingbat | i tried sudo apt-get install java | 17:32 |
| Greendingbat | it didn't work | 17:32 |
| Xbehave | install firefox3 gnome support, then get their package and if its a deb just install it, if its a tar you can unpack it to opt, then link stuff manually | 17:32 |
| Xbehave | disrigard my that just install the deb above | 17:33 |
| Greendingbat | nm, i think it'd just be easier to get firefox | 17:33 |
| Greendingbat | wait | 17:33 |
| Greendingbat | i have the deb | 17:33 |
| Greendingbat | i think | 17:33 |
| mefisto__ | Greendingbat: for java, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 17:33 |
| Greendingbat | ah | 17:33 |
| Greendingbat | thanks | 17:33 |
| Greendingbat | should i open or save this deb file? | 17:34 |
| Xbehave | save | 17:34 |
| mefisto__ | Greendingbat: save it, then open it | 17:34 |
| Greendingbat | k | 17:34 |
| Greendingbat | im getting used to linux still | 17:35 |
| Greendingbat | it's pretty cool | 17:35 |
| Greendingbat | im running kubuntu 8.04 in a VM | 17:35 |
| === Xbehave is now known as Rioting_Pacifist | ||
| mefisto__ | Greendingbat: apt-cache search "search term" will list packages that match your search term | 17:35 |
| mefisto__ | Greendingbat: then you can "sudo apt-get install package-name" whatever it is you want | 17:36 |
| jhutchins_wk | !java | 17:37 |
| ubottu | To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre or sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu !Dapper | 17:37 |
| tyler_ | hey does kubuntu cd include a live cd.....and if it does how do i access that from the cd? | 17:38 |
| jhutchins_wk | tyler_: The standard CD should be a bootable live CD. | 17:39 |
| tyler_ | i think it was the one a few days before the final release | 17:39 |
| tyler_ | it was like the final beta | 17:39 |
| jhutchins_wk | tyler_: Put it in drive, reboot, enable boot-to-cd in BIOS, continue boot. | 17:39 |
| Muzer | hi | 17:40 |
| Greendingbat | sorry, just came back, what's this about java? | 17:40 |
| Muzer | In the latest kubuntu I have a problem with rejoystick | 17:40 |
| Muzer | The error I get: | 17:40 |
| Muzer | (!) DirectFB/FBDev: Use 'fbdev' option or set FRAMEBUFFER environment variable. | 17:40 |
| Muzer | (!) DirectFB/FBDev: Use 'fbdev' option or set FRAMEBUFFER environment variable. | 17:40 |
| Muzer | whoops | 17:40 |
| ubu84 | ciao | 17:40 |
| Muzer | (!) DirectFB/FBDev: Error opening framebuffer device! | 17:40 |
| tyler_ | from the live cd how do i access my hard drive | 17:41 |
| Muzer | Also, I can't even get qjoypad to install | 17:41 |
| tyler_ | i need to edit my fstab | 17:41 |
| Fyl0n | anyone for audacious support? | 17:43 |
| mefisto__ | tyler_: you need to mount the partition. eg, "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" will mount sda1 partition to the /mnt directory | 17:44 |
| Fyl0n | nm | 17:45 |
| jhutchins_wk | DO NOT MOUNT TO /MNT on a live CD. | 17:45 |
| tyler_ | to late | 17:45 |
| tyler_ | how do i change to the drive after i mount it | 17:45 |
| tyler_ | like cd so i can access ect/fstab | 17:45 |
| jhutchins_wk | It might not kill kubuntu, but it's generally a bad idea, there are things already mounted within /mnt on most lvie CDs. | 17:46 |
| jhutchins_wk | tyler_: cd | 17:46 |
| emilsedgh | DONT SHOUT jhutchins_wk! | 17:46 |
| tyler_ | cd what | 17:46 |
| tyler_ | cd /dev/sda1? | 17:46 |
| _Shade_ | i have linksys wusb56gc wifi adapter. I have some problems on getting it work in adhoc mode | 17:46 |
| mefisto__ | tyler_: cd /mnt/etc/ | 17:46 |
| jhutchins_wk | tyler_: cd /path/you/specified/to/mount | 17:47 |
| Greendingbat | emilsedgh: he was trying to stress a point | 17:47 |
| _Shade_ | what should i do to get it working? | 17:47 |
| Greendingbat | he wasn't mad at anyone | 17:47 |
| georgelot | hello everyone!!! | 17:47 |

| pim | what would be a good calculator program to install? | 17:50 |
| llutz | pim speedcrunch | 17:50 |
| mefisto__ | speedcrunch is installed by default, isn't it? | 17:51 |
| Greendingbat | yeah | 17:51 |
| Greendingbat | it is | 17:51 |
| pim | ok | 17:51 |
| llutz | pim or kcalc | 17:51 |
| Greendingbat | which is kinda funny that they include two | 17:51 |
| llutz | one more ubuntu'ism | 17:52 |
| mefisto__ | they are two different styles of calculator, though | 17:52 |
| Greendingbat | yeah | 17:52 |
| pim | ok thanks | 17:53 |
| Greendingbat | speedcrunch is faster, but not as good | 17:53 |
| Greendingbat | as in, it doesn't have as many features | 17:53 |
| Greendingbat | hey, how do i get a .deb file to install | 17:53 |
| mefisto__ | Greendingbat: really? I haven't noticed | 17:53 |
| llutz | mefisto__: so you mean they should inlcude kwriter, abiword and some more wordprocessors, because the are "different styles"? ;) | 17:54 |
| mefisto__ | Greendingbat: double-click should open gdebi, which installs the .deb | 17:54 |
| Greendingbat | llutz: no, i don't think he means that | 17:54 |
| Greendingbat | he was just stating something | 17:54 |
| mefisto__ | llutz: if wordprocessors were as trivial (size-wise) as calculator programs, they probably would | 17:55 |
| mefisto__ | dunno how different those word processors are though | 17:55 |
| Greendingbat | yeah, dclicking opens up the package installer, but when i click install package, it starts working, but then nothing happens | 17:55 |
| Greendingbat | in fact, it opens up the package installer again | 17:56 |
| Greendingbat | which then dissapears | 17:56 |
| mefisto__ | Greendingbat: I think "sudo dpkg -i package.deb" will install it too | 17:59 |
| Greendingbat | it didn't work | 18:01 |

| Greendingbat | wrong paste | 18:01 |
| Greendingbat | sudo: dpkg-i: command not found | 18:01 |
| Greendingbat | that's the error i get | 18:02 |
| llutz | dpkg -i with space | 18:02 |
| Greendingbat | ah thanks | 18:02 |
| Greendingbat | great | 18:02 |
| Greendingbat | now there's an error with the package itself | 18:02 |

| ubottu | shane2peru: keyboard shortcuts can be set in K -> System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse. Try also "Input Actions" in KControl. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KDEMultimediaKeys - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 18:27 |

| shane2peru | mefisto__: the apt-get -f install (without package name) tries to fix whatever the problem is. | 18:54 |

| bleaked | so last night one of my hard drives became full. i decided to move (as in mv) a larger directory to a second hard drive. during the move, we had a thunderstorm (i know, bad time to move) and the power went out. today, all of the data seems fine, so far, but the results of the move are a bit confusing. the source location is 29 gb, and the destination directory is 18 gb. both have the same folders and a lot of the same files. i'm | 18:56 |
| bleaked | a bit confused as to how the mv program actually works. looking at the man page, i see there is the update option, which i tried, but when i do it, it wants to overwrite one of the main sub directories -- should i allow this, or am i risking it overwriting from a partially moved source directory? or does the mv program copy first, then delete afterward? | 18:56 |
| shane2peru | mefisto__: hmm, that really doesn't look good! I have never seen that one before. :) | 18:56 |
| Xiana_ | hello, i need the name of de channel about coruña | 18:57 |

| mefisto_ | nazgjunk: you could try restarting timidity with "sudo /etc/init.d/timidity restart" then try again. that's worked for me in the past | 19:22 |

| mefisto_ | jill_: why? probably because there is something wrong :P | 19:34 |

| frybye | Hi I have had to restore from an image 3 times now - untill it has occured to me what it is that is screwing the installation up - adept offers some updates and when they are installed and a re-boot is done then the system is screwed... | 20:10 |
| frybye | how can I get rid of the adept icon and just ignore this stuff that is screwing up the system...? | 20:11 |
| nosrednaekim | frybye: don't accept updates | 20:11 |
| nosrednaekim | and you can uninstall adept | 20:11 |
| mefisto_ | frybye: I think if you right-click the icon you can exit, and it will ask if you want it to start when kde starts | 20:12 |
| Ayabara | can someone recommend a nice dark theme for kde 3.5? | 20:12 |
| frybye | nosred | 20:13 |
| frybye | nosrednaekim: generally I suppose one usually does do updates or.. these are bad for sure... | 20:13 |
| frybye | is it a good idea to unistall adept...? | 20:13 |
| nosrednaekim | ussually they do not harm you.... but its probably a kernel bug/change which doesn't like your hardware | 20:14 |
| nosrednaekim | frybye: well, just uninstall adept_updater | 20:14 |
| frybye | i c... so I can just use that command in the terminal - uninstall adept_updater right? | 20:15 |
| frybye | with sudo I guess? | 20:15 |
| nosrednaekim | no... its "sudo apt-get remove adept-updater" | 20:15 |

| jhutchins_wk | jill_: Scanners are mostly handled by the sane package/project. You can find their webpage (probably through sourceforge) to see if they support your printer. | 20:46 |
| jill_ | nosrednaekim, there are only four links.. i have 2448 and kubuntu 710, i think it is impossilbe | 20:47 |
| sigma_1234 | asked because mustek is a south african brand | 20:47 |
| jhutchins_wk | sigma_1234: The thing about gentoo is it doesn't have binary packages, it has special source packages, and the package manager compiles each program with a template you can customise for your particular hardware and use. | 20:47 |
| frybye | I dont beleive this - it has happened again the region changed to us-english and no way to change etc... | 20:47 |
| jhutchins_wk | sigma_1234: Still, you could take a look at the kernel compile instructions and give it a try - you won't hurt anything - just to see how much of a chore it is. | 20:48 |
| frybye | anybody heard of a prob with the nvidia 8400 chip and proprietary driver... | 20:48 |
| frybye | ___ | 20:48 |
| jhutchins_wk | sigma_1234: For a big package like the kernel, it can take quite a while to compile. | 20:48 |
| reese | after adding new repos, the command is apt-get update? | 20:48 |
| nosrednaekim | reese: yep | 20:48 |
| jhutchins_wk | sigma_1234: For smaller, simpler packages, a few minutes. | 20:48 |
| navetz | is there a way to do cp ./* ~/* and not replace files that already exist but rather give it a new filename? | 20:48 |

| nosrednaekim | malik_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15859/ replace your xorg.conf with that | 21:11 |
| Taza | nosrednaekim: Would the annoyances bother a home user who knows nothing about Linux? | 21:12 |
| sigma_1234 | Taza: wait for 4.1 | 21:12 |
| Taza | Or are they like "when I recompile X KDE4's weather widget refuses to start"? | 21:12 |
| nosrednaekim | Taza: maybe, maybe not.... but kde3 does have a nice easy wine manager | 21:12 |
| Taza | sigma_1234: Not if you are unwilling to explain why. | 21:12 |
| nosrednaekim | :P | 21:12 |
| Taza | nosrednaekim: That might be a major selling point. :P | 21:12 |
| malik_ | yes i do it now | 21:14 |
| Taza | "When I try to run YAEWS after changing to an Xfree86 from 2004 and compiling it with optimizations in the desktop replacement transparent terminal, Amarok causes the weather widget to flicker whenever I refresh it" | 21:14 |
| sigma_1234 | Taza: plasma in 4.0 has a few annoying bugs. tends to freeze the desktop for periods | 21:14 |
| Taza | sigma_1234: Thanks, that's useful to know. | 21:14 |
| sigma_1234 | nosrednaekim: have you posted that screenshot for me yet? | 21:15 |
| nosrednaekim | ah! sorry :) | 21:15 |
| Taza | (What "annoyances" usually mean when it comes to stable KDE stuff.) | 21:15 |
| Taza | How's the "Nifty widget status" for KDE4? | 21:15 |
| jhutchins_wk | Taza: There are a lot of components and programs that haven't been ported to 4 yet. You get a slightly different look, some different features, and nowhere near as much software. | 21:15 |
| jhutchins_wk | Taza: As it stands now, KDE4 is mostly just a demo. | 21:16 |
| Taza | jhutchins_wk: k. | 21:16 |
| Taza | I mostly use Xfce4 myself, so I wouldn't know | 21:16 |
| === A-L[X] is now known as alexanro | ||
| Taza | I just know my bro will love Amarok and he won't have the patience I had with Xfce4 and Amarok | 21:16 |
| jhutchins_wk | 3.5.x is still the pick for "I have work to do with this computer". | 21:16 |
| tempest | Is there a way to check that the onboard video card is disabled ? | 21:16 |
| Taza | tempest: lspci? | 21:16 |
| jhutchins_wk | Taza: re: the brother: you might consider ltsp or keeping a restore image. | 21:16 |
| malik_ | nosrednaekim: should i restart the X server now ? | 21:17 |
| nosrednaekim | yes | 21:17 |
| Taza | jhutchins_wk: Actually, I'm first installing linux and then running Windows in VMware with dd'd backup images. | 21:17 |
| malik_ | ok, please wait i will be back | 21:17 |
| tempest | taza i'll try ive somewhat made myself confused trying to get it right | 21:17 |
| nosrednaekim | sigma_1234: lol...the VM died... | 21:17 |
| Taza | tempest: If it normally shows up in lspci and it doesn't after you've disabled it - congrats, it has been disabled. | 21:17 |
| Taza | If it shows up, it hasn't been disabled. | 21:18 |
| sigma_1234 | lol | 21:18 |
| === alexanro is now known as r|a|s | ||
| Taza | (Of course, if you only want to disable the output...) | 21:18 |
| tempest | taza it is still there | 21:18 |
| tempest | ive only been using kubuntu for a month | 21:19 |
| Taza | tempest: And you were trying to disable it fully? You didn't succeed. | 21:19 |
| === r|a|s is now known as A-L[X] | ||
| tim__ | taza: currently using kde4. It is usable as a window manager, but its deeply unfinished. You cant move widgets around the kicker bar without removing them all first, it freezes and crashes about once a day, and apart from the theming, which you can have in 3 if you configure it, the features arnt really there yet. On the plus, there is some nice compiz type stuff integrated, and some of the widgets have a different feel. | 21:19 |
| tim__ | Personaly I'm continuing to use it because its not inconvenient enough to bother rolling back. | 21:19 |
| tempest | lol taza i can see that | 21:19 |
| sigma_1234 | nosrednaekim: np i found one at ars technica. it looks cool just the print icon is ancient compared to kde 3. suppose that came from reinventing the wheel:( | 21:20 |
| Taza | tim__: Thanks, that's all I need. | 21:20 |
| Taza | tim__: I might like 4 but my brother wants 3 based on that. | 21:20 |
| nosrednaekim | :) | 21:20 |
| Taza | Of course I don't touch KDE myself. | 21:20 |
| tempest | so now what do i do so that it will use the nvidia and not the onboard ? | 21:21 |
| Taza | If the screen is small, Xfce4, if the screen is large... wmii. <3 <3 <3 | 21:21 |
| Taza | (So fine, I'm a HARDCORE user. I might install Kubuntu and then wmii on it though.) | 21:21 |
| tim__ | xfce, why did I ever stop... | 21:22 |
| Taza | As it is, I'm forced to use Xubuntu. ;_; | 21:22 |
| Taza | Because I'm on an Eee. | 21:22 |
| tim__ | but xfce is da win | 21:22 |
| titan_ | forced to use? | 21:22 |
| Taza | And I don't want a designed-for-5-year-olds interface. I want to get work done. | 21:22 |
| Taza | titan_: No space for Kubuntu / Ubuntu. | 21:23 |
| sigma_1234 | nosrednaekim: whats that mobile phone section in kontact for? any hope of built in win mobile syncing this time round?:-) | 21:23 |
| Taza | In fact, not even space for Xubuntu + KDE | 21:23 |
| titan_ | k is just the KDE envio | 21:23 |
| nosrednaekim | sigma_1234: maybe some integration with kpilot there... | 21:23 |
| titan_ | LOL wasnt reading the post.. lmao | 21:24 |
| titan_ | xubuntu is the smallest fo the three right? | 21:24 |
| mefisto_ | Taza: what about advanced desktop mode on the eee? I mean with the default xandros install | 21:24 |
| === al3xanr0 is now known as A-L[X] | ||
| Taza | mefisto_: Xandros? Eww. | 21:24 |
| Taza | I want compatibility and that's something Xandros doesn't offer. | 21:25 |
| Taza | I have Xubuntu + Amarok + Wine for most of the sw I want. | 21:25 |
| titan_ | in the movie hackers | 21:26 |
| mefisto_ | just that the eee has all that, just not the kde desktop (until it's enabled) | 21:26 |
| sigma_1234 | thank g*d theres a way to disable that widget adder in the corner. its so irritating when it pops out everytime you close a fullscreen window | 21:26 |
| titan_ | what was Dade Murphys computer? that he used to hack into the tv station | 21:26 |
| nosrednaekim | !ot | 21:26 |

| sigma_1234 | yeah. 4.1 | 21:33 |
| ctionParsnip | hey all | 21:34 |
| nosrednaekim | sigma_1234: dunno if you are one for eyecandy... but some of the kwin stuff is looking nice | 21:34 |
| nosrednaekim | ctionParsnip: hey! where did the A go? | 21:35 |
| ctionParsnip | dunno man :( | 21:35 |
| ctionParsnip | im just seting up fluxubuntu :) | 21:35 |
| ctionParsnip | its sweet | 21:35 |
| ctionParsnip | i'm just modifying /etc/samba/smbusers | 21:36 |
| ctionParsnip | but im confused by the syntax | 21:36 |
| malik_ | nosrednaekim: i m back the Xserver dint start | 21:36 |
| nosrednaekim | malik_: any errors? | 21:36 |
| malik_ | i had only one cursor blinking there | 21:36 |
| ctionParsnip | I have a website saying it needs <username> = "<username>" | 21:36 |
| nosrednaekim | how did you restart it? | 21:36 |
| ctionParsnip | so do i need to have: andy = "andy" in it? | 21:37 |
| malik_ | then i rebooted in recovery mode and did xfix to get this gui again | 21:37 |
| ctionParsnip | can anyone advise | 21:37 |
| sigma_1234 | nosrednaekim: id love to see it but it doesnt ever work for me even though i have the nvidia drivers installed | 21:37 |
| ctionParsnip | ive ran sudo smbpasswd -a <username> | 21:37 |
| ctionParsnip | and created an andy account | 21:38 |
| nosrednaekim | malik_: and stoll on 640x480? | 21:38 |
| malik_ | yes :( | 21:38 |
| jhutchins_wk | ctionParsnip: Read the samba docs. You set up smb passwords with the smbpasswd program I believe. | 21:38 |
| malik_ | what should i do now ? | 21:39 |
| ctionParsnip | jhutchins_wk: done, but i need to create the file accoriding to http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-samba-server-on-ubuntu/ | 21:39 |
| nosrednaekim | malik_: apparently this card needs a proprietary driver... some of those inbuilt ones do | 21:40 |
| malik_ | there is none provided on the mainboard manufacturer's site. on the nvidia website there is generic driver for nivida gefore 7 series | 21:41 |
| frybye | re: what is the probable reason for the region switching from germany to us-english and there being no way to change it to any other language.. if I try to change or add locations it says "command not found"?? | 21:41 |
| nosrednaekim | but apparently you also have problems with the proprietary driver.... sounds like a problem | 21:41 |
| malik_ | where can i get the properietry driver ? | 21:41 |
| nosrednaekim | malik_: the one from repositories... | 21:41 |
| nosrednaekim | sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 21:42 |
| nosrednaekim | or use the restricted drivers manager | 21:42 |
| sigma_1234 | nosrednaekim: have you tried compiling amarok 2 in kde4.1? | 21:42 |
| malik_ | i tried this with add remove programs and triedm nvidia-newm and nvidia-old both , but none worked | 21:42 |
| frybye | if the system-configuration device is broken - how can it be re-installed or similar...? | 21:42 |
| nosrednaekim | sigma_1234: nope.... but I have Neon | 21:42 |
| tempest | nvidia is just a pain | 21:43 |
| malik_ | :p | 21:43 |
| nosrednaekim | malik_: uhhg.... | 21:43 |
| nosrednaekim | ok... lets see if we can squeeze some higher resolutions out of this vesa driver | 21:43 |
| frybye | tempest: I would tend to agree.. my system seems screwed since I upgraded today from onboard nvidia 6100 to a pci-e 8400 grafic card... | 21:43 |
| sigma_1234 | i dont like neon. its like running kde4 in kde4. the fonts are all stuffed up | 21:44 |
| malik_ | yes that would be great at this time.. | 21:44 |
| mefisto_ | tempest: I thought ati was a pain | 21:44 |
| maduser | where are the boot scripts? | 21:44 |
| maduser | I mean the place to make sure apps exec at boot | 21:44 |
| nosrednaekim | /etc/rc.local I think | 21:45 |
| frybye | anybody have an idea how to repair/re-install the system-config device.. not able to change the region now...? | 21:45 |
| maduser | thanks | 21:45 |
| nosrednaekim | sigma_1234: copy over your kde4 globals | 21:45 |
| nosrednaekim | malik_: go into system settings->monitor and enter admin mode | 21:46 |
| frybye | as far as I know there is a config script or similar someplace with loads of settings in it - what is it called please and where do I find it.. | 21:46 |
| tempest | mefisto_ I've only used kubuntu for about a month and the biggest problem i've had is with my nvidia card... at least the legacy drivers work better for it. I can't get any resolutions in the system settings only place ive ever been able to change them is in the nvidia settings thing. | 21:46 |
| frybye | btw despite me being in germany with a german regional setup I am a british disab. air force veteran... | 21:47 |
| malik_ | yes i did | 21:47 |
| frybye | once in a while folks on engl. language sites not to keen to help a "German..." | 21:47 |
| nosrednaekim | malik_: does the slider bar go any more to the right? | 21:47 |
| jhutchins_wk | maduser: The scripts that start system components and services are in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ (usually symlinked to /etc/init.d). They are started by symlinks from /etc/rc.d/rc#.d, where # is the runlevel. | 21:47 |
| malik_ | yes it does | 21:48 |
| jhutchins_wk | maduser: You can run other things at boot from rc.local or you can set it up in the init system. | 21:48 |
| malik_ | upto 2048x1536 | 21:48 |
| maduser | I just need kwin to run so could I just type kwin into rc.local? | 21:48 |
| malik_ | should i change and then restart x ? | 21:49 |
| malik_ | or some further changes to be made ? | 21:49 |
| nosrednaekim | malik_: yeah... change it to the max res that your monitor supports and hit apply | 21:50 |
| nosrednaekim | you shouldn't have to reboot | 21:50 |
| malik_ | ok | 21:50 |
| frybye | is there a way to set the region using a command in the terminal??? | 21:50 |
| frybye | some kind soul gonna pick up on this problem??? | 21:51 |
| malik_ | it says you need to restart x | 21:51 |
| malik_ | /etc/init.d/restart kdm ?? | 21:52 |
| frybye | nosrednaekim: do you have a tip how to change the region setting when the gui dosent let me do it...? | 21:52 |
| nosrednaekim | malik_: log out and restart it there | 21:53 |
| nosrednaekim | frybye: nope... I don't | 21:53 |
| mefisto_ | frybye: what's wrong with the gui? you mean system settings? | 21:53 |
| frybye | ok nosrednaekim thanx anyhows... | 21:53 |
| MetaMorfoziS | Hey guys! | 21:53 |
| MetaMorfoziS | IS there any webadmin of kubuntu.org? | 21:53 |
| MetaMorfoziS | http://kubuntu.org/download.php#latest | 21:53 |
| frybye | yes the system settings are s t u c k on us-english | 21:53 |
| MetaMorfoziS | The site bugs here | 21:53 |
| nosrednaekim | MetaMorfoziS: Riddel and ryanakca I think | 21:54 |
| frybye | no other regions even though when I look for language packages the de-de seems to be installed for Germany... | 21:54 |
| mefisto_ | frybye: so nothing else in the list, just US English? | 21:54 |
| frybye | mefisto_: right... | 21:54 |
| frybye | only us-english and it says "command not found" when trying to install other languages.. | 21:55 |
| frybye | or other regions if one wants to be exact... | 21:55 |
| frybye | there is code missing - but what...? | 21:55 |
| frybye | it looks a bit as if the system config device itself is only partly available - or broken...? | 21:56 |
| nosrednaekim | frybye: run system settings from a konsole and see the exact output | 21:57 |
| frybye | nosrednaekim: how do I do that...? | 21:57 |
| frybye | sorry - but you know i think that I am very new... | 21:57 |
| nosrednaekim | open a konsole and type "systemsettings" | 21:57 |
| mefisto_ | frybye: what do you get when you type "locale" in terminal? us-english? | 21:58 |
| frybye | it started the gui with the system settings just like when I go for it via the menus.. eh hang on pse.. | 21:59 |
| frybye | no in the terminal it says de_DE for locale... | 21:59 |

| d_mitry | i am wondering how to listen to wav files in kubuntu 6.06. could someone help me? | 22:03 |
| nosrednaekim | d_mitry: amarok will do it | 22:03 |
| mefisto_ | frybye: so it's just the keyboard set to us english, everything else is as it was before and the way you want it? | 22:03 |
| frybye | d_mitry: just out of interest - why are u using 6.06?? | 22:03 |
| frybye | and not 8.04 for instance...? | 22:04 |
| d_mitry | 256 mb of ram, fryby. :P | 22:04 |
| d_mitry | 7.10 requires more. | 22:04 |
| d_mitry | at least ubuntu. i only had ubuntu 8.04, 7.10 and kubuntu 6.06 CDs. | 22:04 |
| frybye | i c - soon you can pic it up with the thrown away cans and bottles in the street - so cheap... | 22:04 |
| d_mitry | nosrednaekim: amarok opens it and then says playlist finished. no error returned. | 22:04 |
| frybye | or the whole pc is a wee bit out of date and you cant get the right ram - or??? | 22:05 |
| d_mitry | it's a laptop. old laptop at that. | 22:05 |
| d_mitry | i've never taken a laptop apart before. i guess there's a first time for everything, but that's not priority yet. | 22:05 |
| nosrednaekim | don't think thats the problem :P | 22:06 |
| d_mitry | nosrednaekim: then what could be the problem? i installed 6.06 and this is the first time i'm connecting it to the internet. i expect that it doesn't have support for restricted formats. | 22:08 |
| ahmed | hello all | 22:08 |
| ahmed | any arabic kubuntu user in her | 22:08 |
| nosrednaekim | dmbkiwi: yeah... but wav isn't restricted | 22:08 |
| d_mitry | i thought that it is. | 22:08 |
| nosrednaekim | dmbkiwi: you should use xubuntu 8.04 | 22:09 |
| d_mitry | well, let's suppose that it isn't. do you know why amarok could be behaving like this? | 22:09 |
| d_mitry | one day. | 22:09 |
| d_mitry | i sense auto-completion problems. ;) | 22:09 |
| nosrednaekim | actually, the newer kubuntu's use the same amount of ram, you just have to run the alternate installer | 22:10 |
| d_mitry | well, i'd rather fix this problem now. i'll upgrade eventually. | 22:10 |
| mefisto_ | I run kubuntu on an old laptop with 192 mb ram | 22:11 |
| nosrednaekim | ok... but problems are far easier to fix in 8.04 | 22:11 |
| nosrednaekim | specially since we are all familiar with it | 22:11 |
| d_mitry | heh, ok. what would happen if i tried upgrading now? would i be told that my system requirements don't meet the latest version's? | 22:12 |
| d_mitry | mefisto_: which version? | 22:12 |
| mefisto_ | d_mitry: 8.04 | 22:13 |
| nosrednaekim | no.... I guess you could upgrade directly too | 22:13 |
| d_mitry | i'll attempt upgrading now. we'll see what happens. | 22:13 |
| d_mitry | but firstly, nosrednaekim, would you advise that i upgrade? | 22:14 |
| shane2peru | how do I install java plugins on 64bit? I thought I had it but some sites don't work | 22:14 |
| mefisto_ | d_mitry: I don't think it's any slower than 7.10 or 7.04 before that. bootup time is faster | 22:14 |
| nosrednaekim | dmbkiwi: no.... I prefer fresh installs especially for huge jumps like that | 22:14 |
| nosrednaekim | but definately get something newer | 22:14 |
| d_mitry | well, would i get any unexpected surprises? | 22:14 |
| mefisto_ | who is dmbkiwi? is dmbkiwi d_mitry ? | 22:15 |
| d_mitry | unsuccessful auto-completion, mefisto_ :P | 22:15 |
| nosrednaekim | d_mitry: don't think so | 22:15 |
| frybye | mefisto_: well the keyboard is wrong and I assume the fact that only us-english is shown in system config region settings indicates that other stuff will be wrong?? | 22:16 |
| d_mitry | well, i'll do it. on a side-note, i doubt a surprise can be expected. | 22:16 |
| nosrednaekim | haha... true :) | 22:16 |
| d_mitry | btw, why wouldn't you advise upgrading from 6.06 to 8.04, nosrednaekim? | 22:16 |
| frybye | someone in kub-de is talking about needing a langpack but dosent know the name in kde?? any clue...? | 22:17 |
| nosrednaekim | d_mitry: fixed bugs, fixed multimedia issues, newer versions of software, more support | 22:17 |
| frybye | d_mitry: he hasnt got enough ram himself - jus that I think... | 22:17 |
| d_mitry | ok. let me look around adept. | 22:18 |
| d_mitry | nosrednaekim: now i have another question. why is it that `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' says 0 upgraded, etc? :P | 22:23 |
| nosrednaekim | dmbkiwi: because you have to update your repositories | 22:23 |
| nosrednaekim | !upgrade | 22:24 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 22:24 |
| d_mitry | thanks. :) | 22:24 |
| d_mitry | nosrednaekim: is it not possible to go from 6.06 to 8.04 in one go if downloading the upgrade? | 22:25 |
| nosrednaekim | yes... it is possible | 22:25 |
| nosrednaekim | but probably quite buggy | 22:25 |
| nosrednaekim | not many people do that | 22:25 |
| d_mitry | i'll take the long route then. | 22:26 |

| nosrednaekim | yes | 22:28 |
| nosrednaekim | d_mitry: don't upgrade step by step... | 22:29 |
| nosrednaekim | do a fresh install | 22:29 |

| Taza | (I f6'd it and added "noapic" as livecd option) | 22:34 |
| nosrednaekim | if you are doing wine... use the 32 bit version as well | 22:34 |

| MetaMorfoziS | yes | 22:41 |

| MetaMorfoziS | What is my problem is that i want to get auto hw detection | 22:41 |
| Taza | mefisto_: You could just have asked me "what mirror do you want". :P | 22:41 |
| MetaMorfoziS | because if i install it on my pendrive, that's not the same as a livecd that loads it's modules at every boot | 22:41 |
| MetaMorfoziS | or iam wrong? | 22:41 |
| mefisto_ | MetaMorfoziS: I think you are wrong | 22:42 |
| Taza | MetaMorfoziS: There is a way to get that pendrive. | 22:42 |
| Taza | MetaMorfoziS: Most "Ubuntu on Eee" guides link to that. | 22:42 |
| Taza | It requires either a windows box or intense familiarity with some commands though | 22:42 |
| Taza | Yes, it's easier on windows | 22:43 |
| C0D3N9N3 | what have i missed | 22:43 |
| nosrednaekim | the open sourcing of Windows | 22:43 |

| theFATMAN | hello everyone. i am running ubuntu 8.04, but i want to switch to kubuntu. how can i do this without a fresh install? | 22:56 |
| C0D3N9N3 | besides... isnt it my deal to see if we could start a new topic? | 22:56 |
| Odd-rationale | theFATMAN: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 22:56 |
| C0D3N9N3 | mmmm sudo | 22:56 |
| theFATMAN | Odd-rationale, will that also install, kde, kdm? | 22:57 |
| Odd-rationale | theFATMAN: then you can choose kde in your login sessions menu. | 22:57 |
| Odd-rationale | theFATMAN: not kdm, i don't think... but you can install that yourself if you want and change gdm to kdm... | 22:57 |
| theFATMAN | Odd-rationale, will kubuntu run on gdm? | 22:58 |
| Odd-rationale | theFATMAN: of course | 22:58 |
| Odd-rationale | theFATMAN: just choose kde in the gdm sessions menu | 22:58 |
| theFATMAN | Odd-rationale, will that replace ubuntu? | 22:58 |
| C0D3N9N3 | so ODD-Rationale are you a level 12 paladin | 22:58 |
| Odd-rationale | theFATMAN: no, you can choose gnome from the gdm sessions menu and login back to gnome... | 22:59 |
| Odd-rationale | C0D3N9N3: what's that:? | 22:59 |
| mefisto_ | theFATMAN: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm (or kdm) will let you choose whether you want gdm or kdm | 22:59 |
| C0D3N9N3 | some one of extreme power | 22:59 |
| Odd-rationale | C0D3N9N3: hmm, i haven't found that out yet... | 23:00 |
| theFATMAN | Odd-rationale, thank you, does it matter that i have an AMD 64bit system? | 23:00 |
| Odd-rationale | theFATMAN: no, i don't think so | 23:00 |
| theFATMAN | mefisto_, thank you as well | 23:00 |
| Odd-rationale | theFATMAN: also, if you would like to complete remove gnome, i can give you a link on that... | 23:00 |
| theFATMAN | Odd-rationale, please, cuz i keep having display issues | 23:01 |
| mefisto_ | Odd-rationale: can I have that link? | 23:01 |
| C0D3N9N3 | so is this just QA or is there an actually exchange of ideaS? cause i am not sure i want to help everyone get up to speed | 23:01 |
| Odd-rationale | one moment... | 23:01 |
| theFATMAN | Odd-rationale, no p | 23:01 |
| Odd-rationale | theFATMAN, mefisto_: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde | 23:02 |

| Taza | C0D3N9N3: I'm very close to just going "[censored] it", installing Windows and just warezing the necessary software to make it work the way I want | 23:06 |

| Taza | C0D3N9N3: M2N4. The installer goes "KERNEL PANIC" every time I try to boot | 23:08 |
| Taza | Asus M2N4, "try with noapic", KERNEL PANIC. | 23:08 |
| Odd-rationale | Taza: did you check the cd for errors? | 23:09 |
| Taza | Yes. | 23:09 |
| Taza | Every NORMAL problem is out of the way. | 23:09 |
| Taza | There is no pebkac at work here. | 23:09 |
| Taza | This is a problem in Ubuntu. | 23:09 |
| Taza | Or possibly the motherboard | 23:09 |
| C0D3N9N3 | mmmm... hope it isnt a remote machine HEHEHEHE | 23:09 |
| Odd-rationale | Taza: have you tried booting the cd on another machine? maybe it is a hardware issue... | 23:10 |
| C0D3N9N3 | well, i would look at your logs, find out when it started happening and then remove software around that time | 23:10 |
| Taza | Odd-rationale: Are you a bot? | 23:10 |
| C0D3N9N3 | no, i am sure you installed some bad stuff | 23:10 |
| Taza | Odd-rationale: Asus M2N4 + noapic | 23:10 |
| Taza | C0D3N9N3: Fresh empty machine | 23:10 |
| Taza | The LiveCD throws a KERNEL PANIC | 23:11 |
| Odd-rationale | Taza: i'm becmoing one... | 23:11 |
| Taza | Odd-rationale: I can see, but this isn't a pebkac. Or a normal issue. | 23:11 |
| Taza | This is an ubuntu bug. | 23:11 |
| Taza | Apparently around since 7.04 | 23:11 |
| Taza | Also, booting with noapic results in no x | 23:11 |

| MetaMorfoziS | So anybody here tried kubuntu on a pendrive? | 23:13 |
| MetaMorfoziS | if i did what !usb said above | 23:13 |

| MetaMorfoziS | Because i think if i just install the livecd to the usbstick, then it will configured for that hw where i installed that | 23:14 |
| MetaMorfoziS | Taza > read again, what i said. | 23:14 |
| MetaMorfoziS | Or just roll back the channel's log with 5 minute | 23:14 |
| Taza | MetaMorfoziS: I checked it to see if it was the guide I used | 23:14 |
| Taza | Yes, the FromUSBStick manual approach is what I did and it worked | 23:14 |
| Taza | Okay | 23:15 |
| Taza | X is still booting | 23:15 |

| MetaMorfoziS | I think you need to tweak that crappy config a bit, to get it faster;] | 23:16 |
| Taza | It's the livecd | 23:16 |
| Taza | Something is DEEPLY wrong. | 23:16 |

| Taza | I'm trying to install Kubuntu | 23:17 |
| Taza | It. Just. Isn't. Working. | 23:17 |
| C0D3N9N3 | so.. let me get this str8? youre having issues with a live cd? | 23:17 |
| Taza | MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC. | 23:17 |
| Taza | Kernel Panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn´t work!. | 23:17 |
| Taza | C0D3N9N3: Yes.- | 23:17 |
| MetaMorfoziS | Taza > have you tried the alternate install? | 23:17 |
| MetaMorfoziS | That's the same, just not qt... | 23:17 |
| Taza | MetaMorfoziS: Well, lemme see all the problems with that. | 23:17 |
| C0D3N9N3 | as in when you runt he OS or trying to do the install? | 23:17 |
| Taza | C0D3N9N3: As in, install kubuntu on the live cd is giving me a KERNEL PANIC | 23:18 |
| Taza | I have to constantly edit out swearing. | 23:18 |
| C0D3N9N3 | install on your HARD DRIVE? | 23:18 |
| C0D3N9N3 | cause if youre gettting issues with the install, first try a new disk. if that doesnt work, check your system for hard ware issues | 23:19 |

| C0D3N9N3 | have you tried a new CD? | 23:23 |
| Taza | They have this same problem all over | 23:23 |
| Taza | No resolution | 23:23 |

| C0D3N9N3 | f[-}ck | 23:23 |

| Taza | I can query that to you in several colours every minute for the next hour if that doesn't work. | 23:24 |
| C0D3N9N3 | well. TAZA panics are either software or hardware. | 23:25 |
| Taza | It was the quiet option | 23:25 |
| Taza | How that can do that is beyond me | 23:25 |
| C0D3N9N3 | if your FRICKING cd is the issue burn a new CD. if if your hardware list out the hardware and check the forums | 23:26 |
| Taza | You, my friend, are terminally stupid. | 23:26 |
| Taza | You are stupid, obstinate and inconsiderate beyond any belief. | 23:26 |
| C0D3N9N3 | well, i am sure i will take that. | 23:26 |
| C0D3N9N3 | ;) | 23:27 |
| Taza | And believe me, it took considerable effort not to just randomly sling insults. | 23:27 |
| Odd-rationale | please don't be name calling. thanks! | 23:27 |
| C0D3N9N3 | yeah. i am sure. | 23:27 |
| Taza | I'm not name calling, just stating a fact. | 23:27 |
| C0D3N9N3 | .. interesting. | 23:27 |
| Taza | It was a mobo compatibility issue with the timer. | 23:27 |
| Taza | Which eventually some helpful soul posted the solution to on a page 2 of a 7.04 thread. | 23:27 |
| C0D3N9N3 | if what was said doesnt help.. YOU know just ignore and move on. | 23:28 |
| deadsouls | how can i force adept not to upgrade a certain package? | 23:28 |
| C0D3N9N3 | Taza..IGNORED and has moved on | 23:28 |
| Taza | Pray the lord that he giveth me the ability to punch people in the face over standard TCP/IP. | 23:29 |
| C0D3N9N3 | i dont pray | 23:29 |
| C0D3N9N3 | so you go ahead with yours | 23:29 |
| deadsouls | how can i force adept not to upgrade wine? | 23:29 |
| Taza | C0D3N9N3: It was a standard coder IRC prayer. | 23:29 |
| Taza | deadsouls: IIRC there was an +ignore aptitude flag | 23:29 |
| Taza | It's called "apt pinning", that might help in a google search | 23:30 |
| C0D3N9N3 | ..Taza, figure it out. I really dont care for your soul or pray or what ever you say LMAO.. youre a joke in my mind | 23:30 |
| deadsouls | Taza, thanks | 23:30 |
| C0D3N9N3 | peopke who insult in an IRC really have no clue | 23:30 |
| Taza | C0D3N9N3: I'd explain you the technical specifications beyond this issue, but I don't think you speak linux. | 23:31 |
| Taza | I also HATE black magic so could someone try to make some sense of this? | 23:31 |
| Taza | C0D3N9N3: Harass me with ctcp's and I'll just take it up with the network staff. | 23:32 |
| Taza | M2N4 + Ubuntu means that it spouts a kernel panic with something about apic if quiet is enabled - or quiet and noapic work too. | 23:32 |
| Taza | If this works, however, kubuntu takes forevarrr to boot livecd desktop | 23:33 |
| Taza | As in, ten times longer than it does on my cheap MSI mobo with a system with a third of the CPU and RAM | 23:33 |
| Taza | This problem is making it impossible to use. :/ | 23:35 |
