| dru | pushax ....are you trying to do a network boot ? | 00:49 |
| prince_jammys | !info kdirstat | dru: maybe this: | 00:50 |

| pushax | dru: already got os installed. just no cdrom. | 00:51 |
| `jAguAr | pushax, then just edit ur /etc/fstab file ;) | 00:51 |
| pushax | dru: for some reason in /dev I have no /dev/scd1 | 00:51 |
| pushax | `jAguAr: how do I had the /dev points. I already know about fstab | 00:52 |
| theFATMAN | pushax: corrupt install maybe? | 00:52 |
| dru | pushax see that wasnt clear....where did your /dev points go more specificly what did you do to cause the system faliure...most wanted information....has your cd rom ever worked with the current set up | 00:52 |
| dru | prince_jammys thanks man | 00:52 |
| dru | thats just waht i needed | 00:52 |
| dru | pushax ....sdc1 dosnt mean cdrom usualy | 00:52 |
| dru | it may very well be in your case but it could be hiding under a new /name | 00:53 |
| `jAguAr | how do i configure kde4 to start up properly... right now, all it shows is a blue splash screen, not even a kmenu or any icons :( | 00:53 |

| dru | hmmm | 00:55 |
| dru | waht about media .... or mnt | 00:55 |
| pushax | ubuntu formums are down so I cna't search for solutions | 00:56 |
| pushax | the cdrom works in dos mode | 00:56 |
| dru | if theres nothing in the cdrom it probly leaves it out as a *dead device | 00:56 |
| prince_jammys | pushax: google shows some forum threads that might be relevant, but ubuntuforums.org is down for maintenance at the moment | 00:56 |
| pushax | dru: it wont mount as there is no device to attch it to | 00:56 |
| dru | have you tryed the auto mounter? | 00:56 |
| pushax | prince_jammys: and dru. I might try later when the forums are up. thanks for the advice | 00:57 |
| bascule | tuxwulf: how did you unpartition it? Use the same tool to repartition it :) | 00:57 |
| prince_jammys | pushax: look at the google 'cached' version | 00:57 |
| bascule | or if it is brand new, well I like cfdisk | 00:57 |
| tuxwulf | bascule: It's a new disk | 00:57 |
| dru | pushax : sudo bash diskmounter | 00:58 |
| bascule | OK, well try sudo cfdisk /dev/<name> | 00:58 |
| bascule | tuxwulf: ^ | 00:58 |
| bascule | ok, that will maybe do to | 00:58 |
| dru | just give him gparted | 00:58 |
| dru | :D | 00:58 |
| bascule | yeah, I can't think of a KDE disc tool you know | 00:58 |
| bascule | but I just love cfdisk | 00:58 |
| pushax | dru: didn't work for some reason. I may not have diskmounter installed | 00:58 |
| dru | youll need to wget it | 00:59 |
| dru | lemme see | 00:59 |
| dru | wget http://media.ubuntu-nl.org/scripts/diskmounter | 00:59 |
| dru | sudo bash diskmounter | 00:59 |
| dru | then :rm diskmounter | 01:00 |
| bascule | tuxwulf: try gparted, it is nice enough as a GUI tool | 01:00 |
| tuxwulf | bascule: Thanks | 01:00 |
| * bascule has never used gparted | 01:01 | |

| rick_ | hello, i used to be able to do reset an ide device using 'hdparm -w device'. after a recent upgrade, the drives become /dev/sd* and hdparm does not handle those. sdparm does not seem to have a similar function. does anyone know how I can send a lowlevel reset command in the hardy? thanks | 01:40 |

| theFATMAN | my system tray has ....disappeared(not visible in the panel), how in the world do I get it back? | 01:41 |
| bascule | remove and re-add, right-click configure panel remove from panel - system tray -- ad it back | 01:41 |
| theFATMAN | its not in the menu | 01:42 |
| bascule | rick_: hdparm -w no go on SATA, hmmm .. well hdparm -y spins my spare down, but why are you -w'ing it anyway? | 01:42 |
| bascule | r-click icon - panel menu -remove from panel - system try, if not there goto add to panel, and do that ..... OR killall kicker -> alt+f2 kicker | 01:43 |

| ordodk | seems my linuxmce installation of lirc doesn't have mceusb2 built in (lircd --driver=help doesn't list it) - is there a way to "re-apt-get" it to do it? | 01:44 |
| rick_ | bascule: its a cf card reader and it does not support hotplugging. the machine is for creating cf images. so after making one image, i would like to eject and put another card in. before i could umount, -w it and mount the device again straight away. otherwise i'd have to reboot | 01:45 |
| theFATMAN | fixed the panel | 01:45 |
| rick_ | bascule, btw it's a cf card reader connected via ide | 01:45 |
| bascule | rick_: arrgh, can you rmmod and modprobe the driver? | 01:45 |
| bascule | could also go for the DANGEROUS! /etc/init.d/udev restart | 01:47 |
| jparishy_ | anyone here use a macbook with kubuntu/ubuntu? | 01:47 |
| bascule | or force-reload, well ther are a few to try anyway | 01:47 |
| rick_ | bascule: i'm not actually sure which driver except the libata and others, i have other ide drives connected also | 01:48 |
| theFATMAN | anyone know how to configure the system tray manually? | 01:48 |
| bascule | yeah, that is it, I ould not go for that | 01:49 |
| bascule | rmmod sata driver is almost certainly fatal | 01:49 |
| simula | i know fstab mounts partitions during startup... is there a config file that can mount a partition on an sd card when it is plugged into a running kubuntu system? | 01:49 |
| simula | besides just a manual sudo mount? | 01:49 |
| bascule | hald *should* do that | 01:50 |
| rick_ | bascule: reloading udev is a bit drastic i think. I just tried and it seems to work, except it hangs for a while (a minute or two) | 01:50 |
| simula | thanks bascule, i'm looking into hal | 01:51 |
| bascule | ah, well it is a pretty extreme problem, actually swithching cards should be easy, but then again if it is IDE and not USB, things are odd | 01:51 |
| bascule | simula: sure | 01:51 |
| simula | bascule... the thing is that i want the sd card's partition's UUID to auto-mount it to a specified mount directory (here's hoping hal will do it :) | 01:52 |
| rick_ | bascule, yeh i wouldve used usb ones but this is for our robots and those were already bought... | 01:52 |
| bascule | it should, I know little about hal actually | 01:52 |
| rick_ | i shouldn't have upgraded :( | 01:53 |
| bascule | rick_: OK, it is an unusual problem | 01:53 |
| bascule | try a custom kernel, get a straight tarball form kernel.org nd go from there | 01:53 |
| rick_ | bascule: the device is still the same ide, how come all of a sudden they all changed to scsi? | 01:54 |
| bascule | I don't know why :) | 01:55 |
| bascule | bye! bed time | 01:56 |
| rick_ | bascule: okay, i was hoping i didn't have to do that though. anyway it's not super crucial, i can wait a few minutes in between images. thanks for your help! | 01:56 |
| bascule | welcome, maybe think of some other way later, but I am tired :) | 01:57 |
| bascule | o/ | 01:57 |

| avihayb | I second that | 02:05 |
| theFATMAN | USMarine: whats up, my local is in new york, but its still metric | 02:06 |
| BluesKaj | even the US gallon is wrong | 02:06 |
| theFATMAN | ok guys, i just am not familiar with metric | 02:06 |
| USMarine | locale not local | 02:06 |
| USMarine | !locale | 02:06 |
| ubottu | To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 02:06 |
| BluesKaj | original gallon is 4.54L (Imperial) ..US = 3.78L | 02:07 |
| theFATMAN | you know what i mean | 02:07 |
| theFATMAN | !off topic | 02:07 |
| ubottu | Factoid off topic not found | 02:07 |
| theFATMAN | lol | 02:07 |
| USMarine | owned | 02:07 |
| BluesKaj | why change ...the rest of the earth is metric | 02:07 |
| USMarine | uk should also change from driving on the right | 02:08 |
| USMarine | so americans are not behind on everything | 02:08 |
| domux_ | im not french finnally a lil bit | 02:08 |
| theFATMAN | ok, this is the kubuntu SUPPORT channel, not the express your opinion channel | 02:08 |

| theFATMAN | counter-productive | 02:14 |

| theFATMAN | not relevant to the question | 02:15 |
| Walzmyn | I support the metric system every inch of the way. | 02:15 |
| USMarine | i mean the metric usage is related to the country choice | 02:15 |
| Walzmyn | why are we discussing the metric system? | 02:16 |
| theFATMAN | i am not against the metric system, my question is: how do I switch on my system? i dont want to use metric, lol | 02:16 |

I found out i did and it was the wireless network not working...it couldn't find my card...is there anyway to get this working through the Live CD or must i install the whole package. | 03:03 |
| mneptok | DJG9282: what wireless chipset? | 03:04 |
| DJG9282 | Its an IntelĀ® PRO/Wireless 3945 | 03:05 |
| mr--t | http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ linux driver here | 03:08 |

| Unknown | ok when i say newbie i mean newbie...where is the hardware switch located | 03:23 |

| larry | ok, thanks...can someone tell me how to set up different backgounds on different "deskktops" in kubuntu? | 03:30 |
| Agent_bob | although we do often answer some very generic linux questions and even a winderz Q or two | 03:30 |
| Agent_bob | right click the desktop configure | 03:30 |
| Unknown | ok so what i really wanted to do is play with the live CD for a while before i installed it...that way i don't look like an idiot in front of my wife...does it matter when i turn this hardware switch on when i am logged into the Live CD? or it doesn't matter? and with the website you gave me...i can also just burn it to a CD and install it through there i am assuming? | 03:31 |
| Agent_bob | lol @ Unknown | 03:31 |
| mr--t | I thought whoo hoo ment success | 03:32 |
| Unknown | yeah my wife isn't too thrilled that i just got a new computer and completly want to wipe of VISTA | 03:32 |
| Unknown | of-off | 03:32 |
| Agent_bob | i liked the "idiot in front of..." part | 03:32 |
| mr--t | you dont have to wipe it you can dual boot | 03:33 |
| bdog | how do you make compiz the default? | 03:33 |
| Agent_bob | Unknown so buy her one and.... sorry i'm not supposed to give advice here. | 03:33 |
| nosrednaekim | bdog: use the desktop effects application | 03:33 |
| * Agent_bob retracts statement | 03:33 | |
| larry | Agent bob...when I do that, and select a background, it applies that background to both (I'm only using 2 desktops) desktops. I would like to have diferent background for each, it that is possible. | 03:34 |
| bdog | it isn't starting? | 03:34 |
| Unknown | i read up on the dual boot thing and i was reading that Vista has some type of recovery thing at the end of the partition that could cause problems | 03:34 |
| Agent_bob | larry kde3 or kde4 ? | 03:34 |
| Unknown | unless you ahve a more realiable source i can read up on? | 03:34 |
| Unknown | ahve=have | 03:34 |
| nosrednaekim | Unknown: Linux has figured that out (used to be a problem) | 03:34 |
| Unknown | so 8.04 should figure it out automatically? | 03:35 |
| mr--t | unknown it doesn't take long for the free community to fix problems | 03:36 |
| larry | Agen bob...hmmm.....let me see if I can figure out which I am using.... | 03:36 |
| Unknown | that maybe true...but whos going to fix my problem if i couldn't even get to the free community :) | 03:36 |
| Agent_bob | kmenu help about kde | 03:36 |
| mr--t | good point lol | 03:37 |
| fatherTheresa1 | dick! | 03:37 |

| Unknown | any of you know of a walk thru i can read up on to do a dual boot to VISTA and kubuntu... | 03:38 |
| Jucato | that's why I hate to show that I'm here :) | 03:38 |
| Jucato | Agent_bob: how may I be of service? | 03:39 |
| Agent_bob | Jucato would you tell larry where the setting is for background for vertual desktop two ? | 03:39 |
| Jucato | larry: right-click on the desktop -> Configure Desktop. there should be a drop down list at the top where you get to choose "All Desktops" or Desktop 1, Desktop 2, etc | 03:39 |
| Agent_bob | Jucato thank you. | 03:40 |
| Agent_bob | i knew it was in there somewhere but i don't even have kde on this system so couldn't pin point it. | 03:40 |
| larry | jucato: when I do that, it only gives me "All Desktops" or nothing.....doesn't show Desktop 1 or Desktop 2, etc. | 03:41 |
| === conan_ is now known as generick | ||
| Jucato | larry: when you click on the arrow beside "All Desktops", doesn't a list appear? | 03:41 |
| Agent_bob | <larry> Agen bob.....kde 3.5.9.... <<< Jucato fyi | 03:41 |
| Jucato | Agent_bob: yeah. because KDE 4 doesn't allow you to do that yet :) | 03:42 |
| Agent_bob | yes that's why i had him confirm what version. | 03:43 |
| === Unknown is now known as DJG9282 | ||
| Agent_bob | heh the "<Jucato> turtle... <nixternal> rabbit" thing just soked in :))) | 03:44 |
| larry | jucato: when I click on the arrow, it only shows "All Desktops" and a "blank" space in the drop-down....no Desktop 1 or Desktop 2 selections.. | 03:44 |
| mr--t | hey guys how do you do the little "asides" like mr--t face is red or mr--t kicks himself? | 03:44 |
| Jucato | larry: are you using compiz? | 03:45 |
| Jucato | mr--t: /me <action> | 03:45 |
| * Jucato like this | 03:45 | |
| mr--t | yes | 03:45 |
| Jucato | right, you type /me <then the message you want to appear> | 03:45 |
| Agent_bob | /me something... | 03:45 |
| * Agent_bob something | 03:46 | |
| mr--t | me/ didn't realize it was that easy | 03:46 |
| * Jucato is guessing larry might be using compiz, and KDE is set to have only 1 virtual deskto so as not to conflict with compiz's viewports | 03:46 | |
| Agent_bob | /me != me/ | 03:46 |
| Jucato | mr--t: you have to put the / before the "me" | 03:46 |
| * mr--t yeah im red faced | 03:46 | |
| DJG9282 | Don't know if you saw my question before...do any of you know of a walk thru for dual booting hardy heron and windows VISTA so that i don't mess anything up...especially since this would be my first time installing linux ever! | 03:47 |
| Jucato | !vista | 03:47 |
| ubottu | vista is a recent version of Microsoft Windows. Discussion on Windows related topics is available in ##windows. General issues on moving from Windows to Ubuntu is convered in the wiki guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows | 03:47 |
| Jucato | hm... not that one | 03:47 |
| Agent_bob | DJG9282 do you have the recovery dvd for vesta ? | 03:48 |
| Jucato | !dualboot | DJG9282 | 03:48 |
| ubottu | DJG9282: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 03:48 |
| DJG9282 | nope | 03:48 |
| DJG9282 | isn't that great? | 03:48 |
| Jucato | I think there's Vista instructions somewhere there | 03:48 |
| genii | Interesting. No more directing ppl to their local psychiatrist in the factoid | 03:48 |
| Agent_bob | DJG9282 yeah. ;/ | 03:48 |
| Agent_bob | genii blame stdin... | 03:48 |
| DJG9282 | can you see why i am a little bit nervous | 03:48 |
| larry | jucato: can i find out if I am using compiz by looking in the "Add/Remove Programs" list? | 03:48 |
| * generick is scratching head and wondering why java plugins will not work in his browser. | 03:49 | |
| genii | Agent_bob: I'll remember to mention it to him :) | 03:49 |
| Jucato | larry: did you enable Desktop effects? | 03:49 |
| generick | hello all, seems to be busy in here | 03:49 |
| Agent_bob | DJG9282 i'm not the guy you want to ask that Q. but seeing that you did. "no. why not just do a cat /dev/zero > /dev/hdd and install linux the right way..." would be my answer | 03:50 |
| * Agent_bob is a windows hater from way back | 03:50 | |
| Jucato | generick: what package did you install to get java plugins? what browser? and 32 or 64-bit system? | 03:50 |
| mr--t | djg9282 a little fear is healthy | 03:50 |
| DJG9282 | yeah especially when you have absolutly no clue what you are doing | 03:50 |
| mr--t | thats how you learn | 03:51 |
| generick | juncato: java 6.0 and 32. | 03:51 |
| Jucato | generick: that's "jucato" :P | 03:51 |
| Jucato | generick: you installed sun-java6-plugin? | 03:51 |
| Agent_bob | DJG9282 yeah that's why i said don't get me started on that one... you'll have no windows... if i have my way! | 03:51 |
| DJG9282 | well the reason why i don't want to do a fresh install is because i'm afraid i wouldn't get all my hardware to work properly...thats the one thing holding me back because the Live CD wouldnt recognize hardware | 03:51 |
| Jucato | if the Live CD is showing some hardware problems, there's a very good chance that an installed system would have problesm too | 03:52 |
| generick | jucato: yes, i used adept, instead of command line | 03:52 |
| Jucato | of course it can probably be fixed later on | 03:52 |
| DJG9282 | Agent_bob: i actually want it that way...but want to be smart before i do something | 03:52 |
| mr--t | don't wait that long | 03:52 |
| mr--t | lol | 03:53 |
| Jucato | generick: hm.. strange that it doesn't work.... | 03:53 |
| Agent_bob | DJG9282 also see Jucato's two posts above ^ | 03:53 |
| DJG9282 | Jucato: yeah looking at those right now | 03:53 |
| larry | jucato: I go to System > Desktop Effects and it opens a screen titled "Compiz Desktop Effects". There is a bullet beside "Extra Effects". Should the bullet be beside one of the other selections? | 03:53 |
| DJG9282 | opps | 03:53 |
| DJG9282 | sorry | 03:53 |
| DJG9282 | that was meant for agent bob | 03:53 |
| Jucato | larry: no no. I was asking if you enabled Desktop Effects | 03:53 |
| larry | jucato: probably not, since I don't know where I should do that. | 03:54 |
| Jucato | larry: if yes, then that is why you don't have Desktop 1, 2 , etc. in the background configuration window | 03:54 |
| Jucato | hm.. ok.. | 03:54 |
| Jucato | larry: how many virtual desktops do you have? | 03:55 |
| larry | where would I check to see if Desktop Effects is enabled? | 03:55 |
| Jucato | <larry> jucato: I go to System > Desktop Effects and it opens a screen titled "Compiz Desktop Effects". | 03:55 |
| Jucato | you already said it | 03:55 |
| larry | There are 2 virtual desktops showing | 03:55 |
| generick | jucato: sorry, works in konqueror, but not in firefox.. i am happy in konqueror.. | 03:56 |
| Jucato | generick: hehe that's even weirder. but you're sure you installed the suan-java6-plugin package? | 03:56 |
| mr--t | not the one from the java site i hope | 03:57 |
| generick | Jucato: yes, i will do a apt-get on it just to be sure though | 03:57 |

| Jucato | mr--t: !chinese might also work :) | 03:59 |
| Agent_bob | larry /join #compiz-fusion and ask them they might be avle to tell you how to tell if compiz is running or not. that will at the very least help us help you. some times it's hard to help someone that can't answer a question. | 03:59 |
| mr--t | (Y) | 03:59 |
| Agent_bob | larry that's not a slander against you, we all had to learn, it's just a statement of fact. | 03:59 |
| generick | apt say 'sun-java6-plugin is already the newest version' | 04:00 |
| mr--t | if its not installed system wide it might not work in ff | 04:01 |
| larry | Agent bob: I believe I stated earlier that "compiz" is installed. No "slander" taken. I understand what you are saying. Thanks for your suggestions. | 04:01 |
| DJG9282 | Ok i think i'll probably look into dual booting. If i run into problems with the the wireless...think any one of you could walk me through the installation process...i just read the intel instructions for it...man am i confused! | 04:02 |
| Agent_bob | ok. but installed != running | 04:02 |
| Agent_bob | DJG9282 i'm sure someone can. it happens here all the time | 04:03 |
| DJG9282 | :) thanks guys have a good night or morning...whichever it is where you are | 04:03 |
| generick | sorry for the off topic... is there a good channel for talking about apps, I am new to the linux world and want some pointers on perfered apps for email and what-not... | 04:03 |
| Jabop | Hey all. I've installed lsh-server on my local box. When I try to scp from a remote box INTO my local with root, it's saying password is incorrect. I know for CERTAIN that the password is correct. What gives? | 04:03 |
| mr--t | DJG9282 the good news is there are linux drivers on intels website | 04:03 |
| DJG9282 | oh thanks Mr--T i'll have to look at that...then you can direct me on how to install those :P | 04:04 |
| Jabop | with root=as root, forgive | 04:04 |
| Agent_bob | generick ##linux ##linuxhelp and #kubuntu-offtopic are all willing to facilitate discussions about linux apps | 04:04 |
| * Agent_bob note to self, that would look better if spelled correctly | 04:05 | |
| Agent_bob | !root | Jabop | 04:06 |
| ubottu | Jabop: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 04:06 |
| Agent_bob | Jabop did you set a root password ? | 04:06 |
| DJG9282 | Mr--T: just one thought came to my mind though...if intel supports linux drivers why would it not be supported ona live CD i would think they would include that during the install? | 04:06 |
| Jabop | Agent_bob: yes | 04:06 |
| Agent_bob | Jabop is the server set to deny root login ? | 04:07 |
| Jabop | The problem still exists, however, I found a way around it. I just chowned the folders that I need to write to, scp'd and chowned again. | 04:07 |
| mr--t | I don't know but I googled your chip set and it took me to the drivers | 04:07 |
| Jabop | Agent_bob: That is what I am unsure about. the lsh-server is on my local box and I just installed it cause I'm not too familiar with Kubuntu, please forgive | 04:08 |
| mr--t | they may be new or on your system already undetected | 04:08 |
| Agent_bob | Jabop i'm not familear with lsh-server openssh-server would be my choice there. | 04:08 |
| Jabop | Agent_bob: Fair enough. Once I get these files transfered I may give that a shot. | 04:09 |
| DJG9282 | ok thanks :) | 04:10 |
| Agent_bob | Jabop beware though there may be a bug in the hardy version of sshd check the launchpad | 04:10 |
| mr--t | np | 04:10 |
| Agent_bob | !bug | larry | 04:10 |

| Agent_bob | larry i have been seeing people complaining about hardy (typically upgraded to) having problems with scp and the issue seems to be either in sshd or the kernel. i'm not a developer so i can't say for sure. there should be bug reports and hopefully a patch by now. | 04:12 |
| * mr--t mr--t wonders what an in/wish is | 04:12 | |
| Agent_bob | exact complaint "scp only creates empty files" | 04:12 |
| Agent_bob | final thought on that, if it's kernel side it could affect scp over any protocal i guess | 04:16 |

| frybye | hi - can somebody please remind me of some common key-combinations - like to kill an active window or call up the process manager etc..? | 05:01 |
| Odd-rationale | frybye: try ctrl+esc | 05:02 |
| genii | Or even ctrl-alt-esc | 05:02 |
| frybye | thanx.. | 05:03 |
| frybye | is there one for shutting a window (without using the process manager..?) | 05:03 |
| frybye | something with F4 or..? | 05:04 |
| genii | frybye: ctrl-alt-esc then place X on offensive window and click | 05:04 |
| frybye | and when the whole pc freezes over.. how to interrupt/shut down fairly safely..? | 05:05 |
| frybye | ctrl-alt-delete or?? | 05:05 |
| frybye | but only once or...? | 05:06 |
| genii | frybye: First see if a console can be attained, by ctrl-alt-f1 .... if so then you can kill some processes in CLI | 05:06 |
| genii | If you get all 3 lights on keyboard blinking together thats a kernel panic, no option then but to hard power-off | 05:06 |
| frybye | explain a bit pse.. (not a lota background linux knowl. here-) if I get the console open then what do i need to do to see/kill processes.. | 05:07 |
| frybye | - put differently - what is cli - and how to use..? | 05:07 |
| genii | frybye: The usual thing is to use top or ps to see whats running or using most resources. ps reports a pid (number assigned to process). You kill it by sudo kill pid# | 05:07 |
| === eljefe_ is now known as jthomas | ||
| genii | frybye: CLI= command line interface | 05:08 |
| frybye | so in the cli - just enter ps ? or?? | 05:08 |
| genii | frybye: ps ax or so will give you a list of all processes for instance. You may want to pipe output to more. eg: ps ax|more | 05:09 |
| genii | Since the list is long, usually | 05:09 |
| * mr--t wonders what happened to top | 05:10 | |
| frybye | right.. my wireless mouse is acting up - i think I need to re-boot - (was just running flight gear - and it seems to have screwed the memory-management or simiklar... hang on a bit .. i will be back (in less than 2000 years!) | 05:10 |
| genii | mr--t: It's still around and working :) | 05:10 |

| * mr--t thinks she missed that last reply during reboot | 05:14 | |
| frybye | so - sorry - tell me that ps something - more command again ..? | 05:14 |

| frybye | ah ha - I see it is up above in shaded text - super.. | 05:16 |
| frybye | heavens! whata lota processes... | 05:18 |
| frybye | this pc is on amphetimines.. heheh | 05:18 |
| mr--t | did you pipe the output? | 05:18 |
| frybye | mr--t: yeah - it worked fine.. i just meant it seemed to be a lot in total after scrolling.. | 05:20 |

| rm-r_C | !dual boot | 06:14 |

| console_jockey | I'm sure this is a silly question, but what software can I use to view the input from my webcam? I've just found and installed a M318B which I can see with lsusb but I haven't a clue how to verify it's working... | 06:16 |
| ubunturos | sportman: always install Windows first, since only Linux distros know that 'Windows' exists. MS-Windows often ignores the fact that Linux exists | 06:17 |
| acetoline | sportman: I have dual-booted two machines succesfully and in both of them I installed windows first | 06:17 |
| ubunturos | s / Linux / Linux distros | 06:17 |
| sportman | acetoline: i have done it a million times | 06:17 |
| sportman | i just dont want to install windows first | 06:17 |
| sportman | cause im lazy | 06:17 |
| acetoline | I think it should be possible to do it both ways, if you can work the hardware succesfully. | 06:17 |
| sportman | just never done it without windows first | 06:17 |
| sportman | wanted to know if it was possible, but i just read up some on it | 06:17 |
| sportman | and i think i can do it | 06:18 |
| ubunturos | sportman: if you do so, afaik, you'll just have to re-install grub. | 06:18 |
| rm-r_C | acetoline: it has nothing to do with the hardware ... but with grub ... the boot leader will get deleted if you install xp after linux, that is no problem you can install it again ... it is easyer to install first xp then linux but both ways work | 06:20 |

| jon_ | oh | 06:28 |

| sportman | acetoline: for work im working with only windows computers and they have me test stuff out | 06:33 |
| sportman | like i need to research some windows project management software | 06:33 |
| sportman | so i need to use windows some | 06:33 |

| sportman | yea | 06:34 |
| sportman | i suppose so | 06:34 |
| noaXess | sportman: pms for windows .. use http://ganttproject.biz/ | 06:34 |
| arayami | does anyone have any problems with virtualbox where when you change from the virtual machine to the desktop it crashes X? | 06:35 |
| noaXess | arayami: no prob.. i use it on diffrent machines | 06:35 |
| acetoline | don't be too sad, sportman. All of us have to deal with windows a bit in our lives, whether we like it or not :p | 06:35 |
| Sakui | goosh.org is pretty cool unix-like shell for your web browser | 06:35 |
| arayami | =/ it's probably cause I'm using fglrx drivers then | 06:36 |
| mjponce | gnuutils and cygwin helps if you use xp | 06:36 |
| acetoline | rm-r_C: bah, slow internet connection, I only just managed to open that link. | 06:36 |

| Sakui | is there a reason why the Xorg server isn't restarting when I logout? | 06:52 |
| rm-r_C | to restart your x server ctrl+backspace Sakui | 06:53 |
| flaccid | rm-r_C, thats not how you restart the X server | 06:55 |
| flaccid | Sakui, most likely a bug | 06:55 |
| navetz_ | how do you recursively remove? | 06:56 |
| navetz_ | does rm -R work? | 06:56 |
| navetz_ | if so, its not workign for me lol | 06:56 |
| Sakui | rm -rf [whatever] | 06:57 |
| Sakui | but not rm-rf / or you'll regret it :P | 06:57 |
| flaccid | yes -R or -r and not -f which is force | 06:58 |
| navetz_ | haha | 06:58 |
| flaccid | navetz_, use the -v switch as well and advise the error | 06:58 |
| rm-r_C | flaccid: it's not? i thought that is the shortcut for /etc/init.d/kdm restart | 06:59 |
| mjponce | rm -rf / its a hallowen theme | 07:00 |
| Sakui | ^^ | 07:00 |
| flaccid | not at all. ctrl+alt+backspc (you left out the alt) hard kills X. | 07:00 |
| Sakui | flaccid: i hate doing ctrl+alt+backspace. | 07:00 |
| flaccid | yeah its last resort if X hangs | 07:01 |
| Sakui | when I logout, it just hangs. | 07:01 |
| Sakui | every time. | 07:01 |
| flaccid | Sakui, yeah like i said its most likely a bug | 07:02 |
| flaccid | !bugs | Sakui | 07:02 |
| ubottu | Sakui: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 07:02 |
| flaccid | which driver Sakui ? | 07:02 |
| rm-r_C | ups yes no alt :( what's the different flaccid between kill x and /etc/init.d/kdm restart flaccid | 07:02 |
| Sakui | nvidia not nv | 07:02 |
| flaccid | rm-r_C, the shortcut does kill signal. and /etc/init.d/kdm sends a graceful signal and restarts kdm | 07:03 |
| flaccid | Sakui, i believe there is a bug most likely still outstanding. i had a similar one with fglrx | 07:03 |
| rm-r_C | ok thanks flaccid i guess soft is better | 07:04 |
| Sakui | with xorg or nvidia drivers? | 07:04 |
| flaccid | rm-r_C, well neither if you want to logout. for that you select logout :) | 07:04 |
| flaccid | Sakui, this is with restricted drivers nvidia and fglrx | 07:04 |
| Sakui | k | 07:04 |
| flaccid | can also relate to the order of which it calls things to die | 07:04 |
| flaccid | Sakui, you should be able to find the bug(s) by searching launchpad | 07:05 |
| Sakui | ok | 07:05 |
| Sakui | i just hope kde-window-decorator is more stable. | 07:05 |
| flaccid | well it should be in normal operation. i have nvidia here as well | 07:06 |
| Sakui | I love kubuntu except the xorg and kde-window-decorator bug. | 07:07 |
| flaccid | Sakui, can i have a link to that bug? | 07:07 |
| Sakui | umm, i think it's compiz-effects or something....someone said that they didn't give a rats butt about k | 07:09 |
| Sakui | de | 07:09 |
| noaXess | i have a notebook with kubuntun 8.04 for children and want a tool to block some function, internet activities and so on.. any idea? or is kfirewall a choice? | 07:09 |
| flaccid | Sakui, there are fixes for that. its on the wiki and other sources. its not a bug. | 07:09 |
| flaccid | Sakui, which release are you on? | 07:10 |
| Sakui | 8.04 | 07:11 |
| flaccid | !effects | saku | 07:11 |
| ubottu | saku: Desktop Effects are supported on graphics cards that use the default Intel and ATI drivers and the restricted !NVIDIA drivers, except for the following, which are blacklisted due to stability/compatibility issues: Intel 965, ATI Rs480 and Rv350, ATI Mobility x300, x600 and x700 - Join #compiz-fusion for anything not officially supported by Ubuntu | 07:11 |
| flaccid | ooops wrong person but yeah | 07:11 |
| flaccid | hmm where is the factoid im after | 07:12 |
| flaccid | Sakui, kmenu --> System --> Desktop Effects or.. | 07:13 |
| flaccid | !compiz-fusion | Sakui | 07:13 |
| ubottu | Sakui: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion | 07:13 |
| flaccid | the above link details the requirements for the window decorations to work properly on kubuntu/kde/compiz-fusion/nvidia etc. | 07:14 |
| Sakui | okie | 07:15 |
| Sakui | I have windows cause no 64-bit flash | 07:15 |
| Sakui | :/ | 07:15 |
| flaccid | yep thats one of the annoying ones | 07:16 |
| Sakui | does kubuntu 8.04 support dual core? | 07:17 |
| flaccid | yep | 07:17 |

| Sakui | bascule: I guess make the icons smaller | 07:41 |
| Sakui | and 2 rows | 07:42 |
| bascule | 2 rows, no, smaller is done by adjusting the size of the panel | 07:42 |
| bascule | right-click -> panel menu -> configure panel | 07:43 |
| Sakui | bascule: that's for the taskbar not system tray | 07:44 |
| bascule | you can have multiple panels as well though, you could have an auto-hiding one on the sideof th screen for example, I used to have my application icons there, but I find alt+F2 works so well I rarely find the need for icons at all now | 07:44 |
| bascule | oh the system tray specifically, well that should auto adjust to 2 rows (mine does) | 07:45 |
| bascule | I assumed you meant panel in general,sorry :) | 07:45 |
| Sakui | s'ok :) | 07:45 |
| * sportman_ cries | 07:46 | |
| sportman_ | fucken wireless | 07:46 |
| bascule | I am pretty sure it just needs th epanel to be a certain height for it to go to 2 rows | 07:47 |
| bascule | sportman_: language please :) | 07:47 |
| Sakui | I just hate that big arrow that it hides the icons. | 07:47 |
| sportman_ | sorry bascule | 07:47 |
| bascule | Sakui: turn that off | 07:47 |
| sportman_ | bascule: i ot the wireless light to turn on, but kwifi does nothing and i cant connect | 07:47 |

| frybye | for instance when one is on a job-experiance scheme - 20% doing it support in a govt. school and 80% killing time .. then... ;) | 09:49 |

| frybye | wthf in consol ps ad|more - and then kill with the pid number or..? <did I get that right??> | 09:51 |
| frybye | squid - looks like you are putting the pc into hibernation or similar... | 09:52 |
| squid0 | frybye: sounds right, but I don't think that's happening.... | 09:52 |
| wthf | frybye: ps aux | grep <for what ever program> yes or use top and press k to kill | 09:53 |
| frybye | wthf - i am lost.. dont have the background knowedlge to deal with a lota stuff... | 09:54 |
| frybye | what is top and how to use and so on??? | 09:54 |
| wthf | frybye: all of us didn't ... use google, man and <application> --help, and irc to learn more | 09:55 |
| frybye | to list the processes the ps ad or ?? | 09:55 |
| wthf | frybye: konsole --> top | 09:55 |
| frybye | oh that is cool - I gues I start slowly remembering unix stuff from way back too - like man <app> to get the docs... | 09:56 |
| wthf | all the application have a man page and a --help file | 09:56 |
| frybye | cant try anything right now - cos I am on a windows pc at work.. (work in the broadest of definitions-) | 09:56 |
| frybye | what do the letters - top - standfor in this cast - terminal something something?? | 09:57 |
| frybye | and when you say konsole - this is the = as control panel or terminal window or ..? | 09:58 |

| Rioting_pacifist | apparle yes it uses the debian installer instead of a GUI installer | 11:07 |
| apparle_ | But is there any diffrence in the partitioning | 11:09 |
| Rioting_pacifist | im not sure ive only used the debain version, does the liveCD allow LVM & encryption, if so then they are the same afaik | 11:09 |
| apparle_ | I mean to say, is there any difrence in the installation wizard | 11:10 |
| Rioting_pacifist | yes they use completly different tools | 11:11 |
| apparle_ | Is there any howto for installation using alternate CD, I have only used Live Cd | 11:13 |
| Rioting_pacifist | not sure its all pretty much self explanitory, depends what you want to do | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | apparle_: yeah its all pretty much there | 11:15 |
| Rioting_pacifist | a default install is fairly simple, the installer just walks you through everything, only if your wanting to use encryption would you need a guide and even then its fairly easy to follow | 11:16 |
| apparle_ | I am able to ghost a registerd username without any password | 11:16 |
| apparle_ | Rioting_pacifist: I want to partition the drives manually | 11:17 |
| Rioting_pacifist | yeah thats fine, you can do it on liveCD too | 11:17 |

| apparle_ | Rioting_pacifist: I know how to do that with a live CD, but is there any diffrence in the method for alternate Cd | 11:20 |
| Rioting_pacifist | the interface is different but not really | 11:20 |
| apparle_ | anyone can send a screen shot | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | apparle_: with alternative i believe you can install a minimal system then apt-get what you need | 11:21 |
| Rioting_pacifist | by default you install the same system | 11:22 |
| Rioting_pacifist | apple_ no the debian installer doesnt run in X so i dont know how to get a screenshot | 11:22 |

| jonathan_ | since i am using compiz with my kubuntu 8.04 the system crashs often... sometimes directly after booting, sometimes after i opened some programs and other times just while doing nothing ^^... I don't think a acten i made is the reason for this crashes. What happens: The keybord and mouse is dead (no shortcuts work) and the desctop freezes: Only the last shown image befor the crash (including the unmovable mouse) is shown. the only | 12:38 |
| jonathan_ | oportunity i have is to restart the system with the reset-button on my pc. | 12:38 |
| goliate | kkk | 12:38 |
| jonathan_ | does anyone know what causes the problem? | 12:38 |
| jonathan_ | oh and all the other time compiz works VERY nice without problems :) | 12:39 |
| Dr_willis_ | so if compiz is disabled - it never locks up? | 12:40 |
| jonathan_ | no | 12:40 |
| Dr_willis_ | no it never locks up? or No it does lockup. :) | 12:41 |
| sterna | my compiz is very stable, but my bzflag client segfaults regularly when running under compiz :) | 12:42 |
| jonathan_ | it never locks up ;) | 12:42 |
| jonathan_ | bzflag? | 12:42 |
| sterna | alt-f2 gg:bzflag | 12:42 |
| Dr_willis_ | I would have to say that points to either a compiz issue, or a video card driver+compiz issue. or perhaps a video card overheating issue.. | 12:43 |
| Rioting_pacifist | is it better to install generic or linux-amd64-k8 on an AMD64 turion ? | 12:43 |

| jonathan_ | i gonna eat somethin ^^ | 12:44 |
| goliate | hahah | 12:44 |
| Dr_willis_ | ATI. :) its only just now under hardy - i was able to get compiz working with my ati x200m | 12:45 |
| sterna | ATI's at least getting better | 12:45 |
| sterna | they're slowly releasing specs to their chipsets | 12:45 |
| Dr_willis_ | well - thats debateable... :) ive not seen where their new specs have helped much yet. | 12:46 |
| Rioting_pacifist | jonathan_: im on ati to so it might just be ati but generally compiz has problems with DRI so 3d games dont run too well, try togelling DR for the game | 12:46 |
| sterna | the free driver is getting much better | 12:46 |
| Dr_willis_ | I think nvidia and ati both need slapped untill they allow the disrto makers to include the drivers with no legal hassles.. :() | 12:46 |
| sterna | not fglrx though | 12:46 |
| sterna | but they're not really committed, everything is going forward much slower than we'd like | 12:47 |
| Rioting_pacifist | Stalmanists will kill me for this but ATI releasing there spec means little compaired to Nvidia providing useable drivers | 12:47 |
| sterna | not really | 12:47 |
| sterna | nvidia doesn't even work with xorg 1.5 | 12:47 |

| ubottu | When a program or configure script asks for "X includes", you should probably install the following package: xorg-dev | 12:57 |
| Dr_willis_ | !find xorg-dev | 12:57 |
| ubottu | Found: libglu1-xorg-dev, xorg-dev, xserver-xorg-dev | 12:57 |
| Pici | xorg-dev is a metapackage | 12:57 |

| reese | another issue: I've installed restricted-manager-kde through jockey-common. but in 8.04 I can't find it anymore in System Settings/Advanced. how do I run it? | 13:00 |
| Dr_willis_ | I just run jockey-gtk or jockey-kde | 13:04 |

| erythrocyte | frybye: well, normally when you scan an image it lists out a host of options png, postscript, etc....everything except pdf | 13:59 |
| frybye | pdf is one of the last options one can find mostly.. they have to liscence some code from adobe or...? | 13:59 |
| erythrocyte | frybye: yes i did...and the only pdf related stuff i came across was that apparently kde progs use a pdf printer... | 13:59 |
| frybye | a converter will be the way I guess... | 13:59 |
| erythrocyte | the thing is to output a pdf, you need to goto File>Print and then select the pdf printer | 14:00 |
| erythrocyte | but i don't know what to do for it to combine all my scanned images | 14:00 |

| sredna | is it known that 32bit firefox with 32bit java is broken on 64bit systems? | 14:00 |
| Rioting_pacifist | sredna: its not, well it wasnt when i was on gutsy | 14:01 |
| sredna | Rioting_pacifist: since today i can not use my web bank, which is my sole reason for having ff at all :-( | 14:01 |
| Rioting_pacifist | does it completly not work? | 14:03 |
| frybye | sredna - there are ways of installing ff3 on 64x system - a sys-eng did it here for me... | 14:03 |
| sredna | frybye: so what? | 14:03 |
| frybye | not sure if the java is 32bit .. (i am a relative newbie..) | 14:03 |
| sredna | Rioting_pacifist: something else does, not my bank | 14:03 |
| frybye | so what - you were saying that it dosent work or..? | 14:03 |
| * sredna would prefer konqueror having secure java support | 14:04 | |
| sredna | frybye: why would i want ff3? | 14:04 |
| frybye | the same reason as a few million other users I guess.. | 14:04 |
| frybye | <--- is not looking for an argument this afternoon - at 32Ā°C it is just too hot for that... | 14:05 |
| Rioting_pacifist | how do you no its java and not your bank | 14:05 |
| Rioting_pacifist | *know | 14:05 |
| sredna | ff generally sucks at rendering webpages, compared to khtml or webkit :-) | 14:06 |
| sredna | even to ie8 | 14:06 |
| frybye | had very little trouble with ff3 b5 but as you wish... | 14:06 |
| sredna | my bank simply makes the sucker freeze :( | 14:07 |
| erythrocyte | sredna: doesn't konq have a security manager for java? | 14:07 |
| frybye | I am going to fly around a bit to relax - bye folks - run flight gear... whooosh.... | 14:07 |

| genii | rav: Is the kubuntu box network settings manually configured or is it on dhcp or so? | 15:25 |

| rav | genii: I just used smb:// on Konqueror and it worked. It might be a problem of the Smb4k user interface | 15:32 |

| BiteyBite | errpast: when i turn off numlock i can type numerics from number pad n if i turn it on it doesnt type anything from there.any idea what might be cusing it? | 15:41 |
| rav | genii: i don't know much about iptables, so I use Kmyfirewall with the default config. From what I can gather, the problem is that I can't see the workgroup. I can go into the machines if I type their address directly | 15:43 |
| BiteyBite | how do i deactivate all sticky keys? | 15:45 |
| nosrednaekim | system settings somewhere :P | 15:45 |
| genii | rav: I'm thinking this is likely the issue then. Perhaps read up on the iptables and make a rule allowing internal LAN ips trusted access to each other | 15:46 |

| Haza1 | Yeah, i think the problem is something else.. I can even run this app unless i do it though a terminal | 16:04 |
| Haza1 | permissions maybe? | 16:04 |
| Agent_bob | genii yeah that was the first thing that came to my mind too, but he was specific in his Q so i was somewhat specific in what i addressed. | 16:04 |
| Agent_bob | Haza1 chmod can change permissions and chown can change ownership | 16:05 |
| Haza1 | yeah, my user owns the file(s) | 16:05 |
| Haza1 | and to test | 16:05 |
| Haza1 | i dod chmod 777 -R /folder | 16:05 |
| Agent_bob | ls -l can list it's owner and perms | 16:05 |
| Haza1 | *did | 16:05 |
| Agent_bob | well 777 is world read/write/exec so it's not a perms/owner issue. | 16:06 |
| Agent_bob | i would sujest not leaving it 777 tho. that's a security hole. | 16:06 |
| Haza1 | Hehehe, damn right Agent_bob :) | 16:06 |
| Agent_bob | 755 maybe | 16:06 |

| haryono | ubunturos when i type that in the dialog box..or u meant in the terminal? | 16:56 |

| ubunturos | haryono: if you have clicked the check box of kontact, do you see a button "Apply Changes" on right hand side (below) | 17:15 |
| haryono | no said like it | 17:16 |
| steve555 | For Hardy heron I would say yes,but if you want to be extra careful,I would suggest opening konsole,and running: sudo aptitude safe-upgrade. | 17:16 |
| helpy | ahh | 17:16 |

| ubunturos | haryono: what? you couldn't see? | 17:16 |

| haryono | ubunturos ..in the info box said kontact is opart of KDE pim application..so..? | 17:17 |
| rav | hello. I'm trying to configure iptables to allow SMB traffic, but I can't get it to work. I created a rule to accept udp connections on the SMB port, but when I run the firewall, I lose the SMB connection | 17:17 |

| genii | rav: A lot of firewalls have a rule to drop traffic if it seems to be coming from in the network (to prevent spoofing) Maybe look for some rule of this nature | 17:37 |
| genii | rav: I'm not that fluent with iptables or I'd assist more | 17:38 |
| helpy | how do you install firefox from tar.gz ? | 17:38 |
| SlimeyPete | why do you want to do that, helpy | 17:38 |
| SlimeyPete | ? | 17:38 |

| SlimeyPete | it's always best to use Add/Remove Programs or Adept to install stuff if possible. | 17:39 |
| rav | genii: there is one rule for that, i'll try it | 17:39 |
| steve555 | Helpy,you can install the latest firefox using adept,look for firefox 3 | 17:40 |
| genii | Also enable hardy-proposed repository if you want RC1 | 17:40 |

| tim____ | hi, I'm having a strange issue, thought I'd try here. | 19:27 |
| tim____ | Applications dont seem to be able to open listening sockets | 19:28 |
| tim____ | does ubuntu ship with a firewall that would block that? | 19:28 |
| bascule | permissions on /tmp ? Is it only K apps or all apps? | 19:28 |
| tim____ | bascule: me? | 19:29 |
| bascule | those sre unix domain sockets, firewall should not touch them, assuming 127.0.01 is allowed | 19:29 |
| bascule | tim____: yes | 19:29 |
| tim____ | bascule: internal sockets seem to be setting up fine | 19:30 |
| tim____ | but not external ones on eth0 | 19:30 |
| bascule | often need to be root | 19:31 |
| bascule | but then again, it depends on the socket type | 19:31 |
| tim____ | I'll try as route, see if it works | 19:31 |
| tim____ | route? | 19:31 |
| tim____ | root | 19:31 |
| bascule | I am not sure actually, network sockets are not something I am good with | 19:31 |
| bascule | yes, root | 19:32 |
| bascule | as in sudo | 19:32 |
| tim____ | *no I just wondered why I'd spelled it like that | 19:32 |
| bascule | phoetic typos are quite common :) | 19:32 |

| genii | minhaaj: You are saying you got firefox in tar.gz or that tht firefox that came with kubuntu opens tar.gz in a text editor? | 21:05 |
| rexnubulr | I want to try KDE because there are a few apps I want to try etc. | 21:05 |
| minhaaj | kubuntu and ubuntu are same. its just the gnome and kde thats diff | 21:05 |

| rexnubulr | say I decide one day to work in gnome and update some documents etc | 21:08 |
| minhaaj | how do i do that genii ? | 21:08 |
| rexnubulr | are they stored in the same home folder and locations that kde would store? | 21:08 |

| rexnubulr | ActionParsnip: not sure but you could try a different sound system. | 21:15 |
| rexnubulr | ActionParsnip: I believe people have resolved the nforce MCP issues with Ubuntu, I was just too lazy to resolve them myself. | 21:16 |
| ActionParsnip | rexnubulr: i'm gonna uninstall a shedload of alsa stuff then reinstall it | 21:16 |

| ActionParsnip | rexnubulr: no sudo apt-get removing :) | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | then installing | 21:17 |
| rexnubulr | ActionParsnip: no for example, /etc/init.d/Networking restart would restart your network. | 21:18 |

| Daisuke_Ido | i can't bear to see anyone stick /home on the same partition as / | 23:01 |
| helpy | prodigy are you using compiz ? | 23:01 |
| prodigy | helpy: no if it on that partition | 23:02 |
| uwe | aw it's still english, after uninstall, fresh downloading and installation | 23:02 |
| prodigy | helpy: no | 23:02 |
| continentaltest | ļ»æNEED HELP W/ KFTPGRABBER --- tried to enter "zeroconf://local/_http._tcp/MyLocalNetworkedComputerName" and it fails by responding "The file or folder zeroconf://local/_http._tcp/HP-8655c does not exist." ----> have setup avahi, zeronconf, KFTPGrabber and kicker-based kpf serving a directory. I noticed that KFTPGrabber only enables the various FTP protocols in the setup/config screen. cannot enter any other protocols ,,, | 23:02 |
| helpy | hhehe then why do you say you can back up data ? | 23:02 |
| helpy | what does it it back if that doesnt back up and configuration both ? | 23:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you can back up your data, YOUR data. it backs up YOUR configs from YOUR home directory, yes. | 23:02 |
| anethum_a | after hibernating my laptop, i have to type 'sudo modprobe -r -v ohci_hcd && sudo modprobe -v ohci_hcd' to get USB devices working again ; is there any way i can automate this? | 23:03 |
| prodigy | nothing else. clean install formats partition helpy | 23:03 |
| helpy | Daisuke_Ido: how ? | 23:03 |
| prodigy | helpy: keep is one of the programs | 23:03 |
| helpy | huh ? | 23:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | yes, you'll have to reinstall your software, but if you've backed up your home directory (that's where the configs are), the software will use that configuration/ | 23:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | google it | 23:03 |
| prodigy | helpy: or you can manually burn your /home | 23:03 |
| helpy | great | 23:04 |
| helpy | how do i back up home directory ? | 23:04 |
| prodigy | helpy: Daisuke_Ido but if config files are bad, you will do nothing by reinstalling | 23:04 |
| USMarine | if you mount /home in another partition, 99% of the problems are gone with an OS crash | 23:04 |
| helpy | yea so i am backing up configs file when i think my config is ok | 23:04 |
| helpy | seems ok. | 23:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | then if you don't want to back up your config files, don't complain because they aren't magically there when you reinstall | 23:04 |
| * Daisuke_Ido headdesks | 23:05 | |
| helpy | you can also create multiple configs right ? or you have to upgrade the older config if youwant to make new ? | 23:05 |
| USMarine | helpy cd /home/helpy && tar backup.tar . | 23:05 |
| USMarine | helpy cd /home/helpy && tar cvf backup.tar . | 23:05 |
| helpy | its a command for konsole US ? | 23:05 |
| prodigy | helpy: than simply create another partition, and move your /home to it. i am not sure about multiple configs. | 23:05 |
| prodigy | USMarine: your kung fu is good... | 23:05 |
| prodigy | helpy: yes. prefferably as root. | 23:06 |
| USMarine | prodigy O_o | 23:06 |
| helpy | i still dont understand | 23:06 |
| helpy | :s | 23:06 |
| prodigy | USMarine: o.0 | 23:06 |
| prodigy | helpy: :) type that command in console as root | 23:07 |
| USMarine | not as root ffs | 23:07 |
| helpy | as root ? | 23:07 |
| helpy | i have to logoff ? | 23:07 |
| prodigy | helpy: it wil make a tar.gz file with all | 23:07 |
| USMarine | no! | 23:07 |
| prodigy | helpy: no, sudo it | 23:07 |
| helpy | umm sudo it ? | 23:07 |
| * helpy confused | 23:07 | |
| nosrednaekim | GUYS! STOP! | 23:07 |
| prodigy | ok? | 23:07 |
| nosrednaekim | you are getting too complicated | 23:08 |
| prodigy | sudo cd /home/helpy && tar backup.tar etc | 23:08 |
| prodigy | nosrednaekim: you know better way, let us learn it, please | 23:08 |
| nosrednaekim | helpy: all of your personal data is stored under "/home" | 23:08 |
| helpy | ok | 23:08 |
| nosrednaekim | helpy: except the programs you have installed | 23:08 |
| nosrednaekim | its rather like "docuements and settings" is separated from "programs" in windows | 23:09 |
| helpy | ok so ? | 23:09 |
| USMarine | i have programs in my home.... | 23:09 |
| nosrednaekim | if you want to keep this personal information separate from from your installation, you put /home on a separate partitions | 23:10 |
| prodigy | USMarine: what kind? | 23:10 |
| nosrednaekim | helpy: you can still do that if you want. | 23:10 |
| doswel | bonsoir french ? | 23:10 |
| nosrednaekim | !fr | 23:10 |
| ubottu | Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr | 23:10 |
| doswel | ok | 23:11 |
| USMarine | helpy http://www.freeos.com/articles/3102/ | 23:11 |
| USMarine | prodigy games | 23:11 |
| nosrednaekim | helpy: you can also do like USMarine and prodigy are saying and zip up your home directory and put it somewhere | 23:11 |
| prodigy | you can back em up also | 23:11 |
| helpy | ok | 23:12 |
| prodigy | helpy: if you can burn a disc in k3b or nero, burn all in /home | 23:12 |
| USMarine | helpy have a read on that article when you can | 23:12 |
| helpy | so i zip up all contents of home directory and burn it on some storage device, install new kub and extract zip in home ? | 23:12 |
| USMarine | kub? | 23:12 |
| helpy | kubuntu | 23:12 |
| nosrednaekim | helpy: correct! | 23:13 |
| * helpy bows | 23:13 | |
| USMarine | why do you need a new kubuntu? | 23:13 |
| helpy | thanks to all | 23:13 |
| helpy | if my kubuntu crashes ? | 23:13 |
| helpy | or i mess up while trying new things ? | 23:13 |
| nosrednaekim | right... that will save your data | 23:13 |
| USMarine | in that case yes | 23:13 |
| USMarine | but when that hapens, place /home in adifferent partition than / | 23:14 |
| nosrednaekim | and if it ever crashes... you canalways grab the info off of it from a liveCD... Linux rarely corrupts the whole disc to the point that you can't get your data | 23:14 |
| helpy | i'll burn all /home | 23:15 |
| helpy | btw what player do you guys use ? | 23:15 |
| helpy | i can't get a universal player for my kubuntu | 23:15 |
| USMarine | amarok | 23:15 |
| helpy | in windows i used vlc and mp classic and it would player everything | 23:15 |
| USMarine | and kaffeine | 23:15 |
| helpy | amarok sucks bigtime | 23:15 |
| helpy | and kaffeine too | 23:15 |
| helpy | it won't play rm, video, ogg | 23:15 |
| nosrednaekim | amarok and dragonplayer | 23:15 |
| helpy | amarok needs codecs | 23:16 |
| prodigy | helpy: kaffeine and vlc | 23:16 |
| USMarine | amarok is not a video player | 23:16 |
| nosrednaekim | you can use VLC in linux | 23:16 |
| helpy | i never had to download anything for vlc | 23:16 |
| helpy | i can't download vlc | 23:16 |
| prodigy | vlc kicks ass | 23:16 |
| helpy | :( | 23:16 |
| nosrednaekim | helpy: its in the repositories | 23:16 |
| prodigy | helpy: Y? | 23:16 |
| helpy | dunno | 23:17 |
| helpy | it won't work | 23:17 |
| helpy | i downloaded tar.gz from website | 23:17 |
| helpy | and it won't work | 23:17 |
| nosrednaekim | helpy: heh....look for vlc in adept :) | 23:17 |
| prodigy | helpy: you'll need many other thing to make your own from tar.gz, dl it from repo | 23:17 |
| helpy | ok found it | 23:17 |
| helpy | downloading | 23:17 |
| nosrednaekim | always always look there first :) | 23:17 |
| helpy | yea just read a tutorial :) | 23:18 |
| prodigy | anyone knows how can i speed up my kde? | 23:24 |
| helpy | prodigy: are you using compiz ? | 23:24 |
| prodigy | no i am not helpy | 23:25 |
| Odd-rationale | prodigy: kde is not famous for its speed... | 23:25 |
| prodigy | Odd-rationale: sidux and arch have speed in kde... | 23:25 |
| helpy | my kde is ok | 23:25 |
| helpy | sometimes it gets stuck | 23:26 |
| Odd-rationale | prodigy: that is an arch thing not kde ;) | 23:26 |
| Odd-rationale | arch+kdemod is quite fast! | 23:26 |
| helpy | is there a process manager to kill processes in kde ? | 23:26 |
| USMarine | kguard | 23:26 |
| prodigy | helpy: ksysguard | 23:26 |
| helpy | oh ok great | 23:26 |
| nosrednaekim | helpy: ctrl+esc | 23:26 |
| helpy | like puppy linux i have to set up fire fall in kub too ? | 23:27 |
| nosrednaekim | firewall? | 23:27 |
| nosrednaekim | !firewall | 23:27 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 23:27 |
| helpy | awesome | 23:29 |
| helpy | vlc is working great | 23:29 |
| PIRAT | do you know who have free bnc or free shell for me ? | 23:29 |
| redd0t | does anybody know of a way to get kopete to organize all contacts alphabetically regardless of status. | 23:30 |
| MetaMorfoziS | is that the same if i install ubuntu server and kubuntu-desktop on it? | 23:31 |
| MetaMorfoziS | as a kubuntu install? | 23:31 |
| nosrednaekim | MetaMorfoziS: pretty close | 23:32 |
| MetaMorfoziS | but in hardware support? | 23:32 |
| nosrednaekim | yeah... same | 23:32 |
| MetaMorfoziS | what is the difference? | 23:32 |
| Odd-rationale | MetaMorfoziS: i think the server iso has the server kernel | 23:33 |
| nosrednaekim | oh... thats true... it might | 23:33 |
| Odd-rationale | you can get a cli from the alternative cd. just press f4 to get options in the boot screen | 23:34 |
| Odd-rationale | if you wanted the generic kernel... | 23:34 |
| MetaMorfoziS | so i can make a kubuntu from that... | 23:34 |
| Odd-rationale | you can install kubuntu-desktop on either the server or generic kernel | 23:35 |
| MetaMorfoziS | i just asks because the kubuntu's alternate install's encrypted lvm setup isn't makes a bootable medium | 23:35 |
| redd0t | i want to switch to kopete, but im still so used to pidgin | 23:35 |
| MetaMorfoziS | so i thought i try that with a server install | 23:35 |
| MetaMorfoziS | and build up... | 23:35 |
| MetaMorfoziS | what's the best, install ubuntu(!) and remove all gnome **** or install ubuntu server? | 23:36 |
| Odd-rationale | probably the latter | 23:36 |
| helpy | what did you say, if i copy all my /home and paste it in a new kub installation, i would have all my installations and configs right ? | 23:37 |
| MetaMorfoziS | helpy > no | 23:37 |
| Odd-rationale | helpy: pretty much... | 23:37 |
| MetaMorfoziS | /etc is also needed | 23:37 |
| MetaMorfoziS | for xorg, apache etc that you has | 23:37 |
| MetaMorfoziS | so back up /etc too. | 23:37 |
| Odd-rationale | oh yeah, that is true... | 23:37 |
| MetaMorfoziS | but don't copy back it without thinking | 23:38 |
| MetaMorfoziS | just what you need | 23:38 |
| helpy | wheres etc ? | 23:38 |
| Odd-rationale | helpy: in / | 23:38 |
| MetaMorfoziS | /etc | 23:38 |
| MetaMorfoziS | the same where /home found:) | 23:38 |
| helpy | ok its in root | 23:38 |
| helpy | ok one more prob | 23:40 |
| helpy | its not detecting my super drive | 23:40 |
| MetaMorfoziS | what is super drive? | 23:41 |
| MetaMorfoziS | helpy > and in other hands, i recommend you to backup your /etc like this: sudo tar -cvvf etc080604.tar /etc | 23:42 |
| MetaMorfoziS | sudo because not every file available for normal users, tar to save the file's permissions too | 23:42 |
| helpy | cd/dvd reader+writer | 23:42 |
| MetaMorfoziS | plug it off | 23:43 |
| MetaMorfoziS | sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog | 23:43 |
| MetaMorfoziS | press some enter | 23:43 |
| MetaMorfoziS | plug it in | 23:43 |
| MetaMorfoziS | and check what it dumps | 23:43 |
| MetaMorfoziS | and google:/ | 23:43 |
| helpy | not working meta | 23:43 |
| helpy | tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive | 23:43 |
| helpy | Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information. | 23:43 |
| MetaMorfoziS | it works | 23:44 |
| MetaMorfoziS | i think you has a typo | 23:44 |
| MetaMorfoziS | or copyed wrong piece:) | 23:44 |
| helpy | lets copy paste :) | 23:44 |
| MetaMorfoziS | "sudo tar -cvvf etc080604.tar /etc" | 23:44 |
| MetaMorfoziS | wothout ":D | 23:44 |
| helpy | ok done | 23:45 |
| helpy | now what ? | 23:45 |
| helpy | i want to burn whole back up to dvd | 23:45 |
| MetaMorfoziS | GOTO 00:42(+-your gmt) | 23:45 |

| MetaMorfoziS | weird:/ | 23:46 |
| prodigy | anyone know how to fix subtitle problem in kaffeine? it freezes the video for half a second every time subtitle appears.. | 23:46 |
| MetaMorfoziS | helpy > sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog | 23:47 |
| helpy | whats that ? | 23:47 |
| MetaMorfoziS | this dumps your systems messages | 23:47 |
| MetaMorfoziS | near everything | 23:47 |
| helpy | done | 23:48 |
| MetaMorfoziS | plug offf your writer, press some enter to get some space | 23:48 |
| MetaMorfoziS | and pug in | 23:48 |
| helpy | shall i reinsert dvd ? | 23:48 |
| MetaMorfoziS | grr | 23:48 |
| prodigy | i use kaffeine with xine engine, intel graphic 915GM, everything but this works fine. | 23:48 |
| MetaMorfoziS | if isn't dvd in the rom, where you know that it isn't works? | 23:48 |
| MetaMorfoziS | check k3b | 23:48 |
| weswh- | does anyone know if there are early builds of EnvyNG that contain the newest drivers - before waiting for that to make its way into the stable repository? | 23:48 |
| MetaMorfoziS | is that prints your rom's type? | 23:48 |
| helpy | it won't detect dvd | 23:49 |
| helpy | because when i insert usb, i get a msg that storage device has been plugged | 23:49 |

| prodigy | anyone know how to fix subtitle problem in kaffeine? it freezes the video for half a second every time subtitle appears.. | 23:52 |
| helpy | no it has found dvd | 23:52 |
| helpy | what should i use instead of dolphin ? | 23:52 |
| MetaMorfoziS | not should | 23:52 |
| MetaMorfoziS | but you can use a lot of other programs | 23:52 |
| MetaMorfoziS | such as krusader | 23:53 |
| MetaMorfoziS | that's like totalcommander | 23:53 |
| helpy | wow it has detected | 23:53 |
| helpy | hmm what do you use ? | 23:53 |

| ecker | how do i update my menu.lst file to show my new kernel image its still show my old one? | 23:58 |
| MetaMorfoziS | The firefox google thing is easy, about:config filter for "keyword.URL", and set it to a well parameterized google search link. (100 results on a page, your languages etc)... And then just press ctrl-l and you can type your query. If it isn't looks like an url, then ff forwards that to google. For example, if you want to find inside of a site, you can by: "site:example.com foobar" you need "foobar site:example.com" because ff thinks that you | 23:59 |
| MetaMorfoziS | want something with "site" protocol... | 23:59 |
