[01:43] 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] how do i change the system from metric? [01:44] my local is new york, but still metric [01:44] 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? [01:45] 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] fixed the panel [01:45] bascule, btw it's a cf card reader connected via ide [01:45] rick_: arrgh, can you rmmod and modprobe the driver? [01:47] could also go for the DANGEROUS! /etc/init.d/udev restart [01:47] anyone here use a macbook with kubuntu/ubuntu? [01:47] or force-reload, well ther are a few to try anyway [01:48] bascule: i'm not actually sure which driver except the libata and others, i have other ide drives connected also [01:48] anyone know how to configure the system tray manually? [01:49] yeah, that is it, I ould not go for that [01:49] rmmod sata driver is almost certainly fatal [01:49] 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] besides just a manual sudo mount? [01:50] hald *should* do that [01:50] 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) [01:51] thanks bascule, i'm looking into hal [01:51] 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] simula: sure [01:52] 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] bascule, yeh i wouldve used usb ones but this is for our robots and those were already bought... [01:52] it should, I know little about hal actually [01:53] i shouldn't have upgraded :( [01:53] rick_: OK, it is an unusual problem [01:53] try a custom kernel, get a straight tarball form kernel.org nd go from there [01:54] bascule: the device is still the same ide, how come all of a sudden they all changed to scsi? [01:55] I don't know why :) [01:56] bye! bed time [01:56] 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! [01:57] welcome, maybe think of some other way later, but I am tired :) [01:57] o/ [01:58] bascule, thanks i'll try other wzays. good night [02:01] hi everyone [02:04] hi french [02:05] how do i change the system from metric? [02:05] metric rocks [02:05] you gotta change your locale i believe [02:05] I second that [02:06] USMarine: whats up, my local is in new york, but its still metric [02:06] even the US gallon is wrong [02:06] ok guys, i just am not familiar with metric [02:06] locale not local [02:06] !locale [02:06] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [02:07] original gallon is 4.54L (Imperial) ..US = 3.78L [02:07] you know what i mean [02:07] !off topic [02:07] Factoid off topic not found [02:07] lol [02:07] owned [02:07] why change ...the rest of the earth is metric [02:08] uk should also change from driving on the right [02:08] so americans are not behind on everything [02:08] im not french finnally a lil bit [02:08] ok, this is the kubuntu SUPPORT channel, not the express your opinion channel [02:08] is your locale correct? [02:08] yep [02:09] where is metric system used? [02:09] yep [02:09] ................. [02:10] uk drives on the right ?...err , better not drive there USMarine [02:10] could be app specifi [02:10] Why if I mouse over an .xml file do I get a warning that something [02:10] 's gone wrong with Armork?

[02:13] nice post i've just read [02:14] [quote] [02:14] I'm anti-imperial and would normally say get rid of all imperial support but since this is Linux we are talking about I realize I have to let it stay in the spirit of freedom to customize your system. [02:14] Note: I live in USA and I want my computer to use the metric system so please no US Americans saying this is a conspiracy against USA. [02:14] [/quote] [02:14] counter-productive [02:14] but this is related to coutry choice [02:14] country* [02:15] not relevant to the question [02:15] I support the metric system every inch of the way. [02:15] i mean the metric usage is related to the country choice [02:16] why are we discussing the metric system? [02:16] i am not against the metric system, my question is: how do I switch on my system? i dont want to use metric, lol [02:17] where are we talking about theFATMAN ? dates and such?

[03:21] STSX thanks [03:21] ok i am guessing that there is no way to get the chipset to work on a live CD that i must install it first [03:22] DJG9282: ensure the any hardware switch is turned on [03:23] ok when i say newbie i mean newbie...where is the hardware switch located [03:25] uasually on laptops you use the funtion key in combo with a key that has a little antenna symbol on it [03:26] the functions a typically a different color blue matbe [03:26] [03:26] hmm have to look at that...i just got a newer computer today....so i'm still learning the thing...i just upgraded from a pentium 366 so i was really in the dark ages [03:26] and it say [fn] [03:26] thanks bob [03:26] Unknown: lol [03:27] Unknown i'd like to upgrade to your old hardware....

[03:28] yes [03:29] whoo hoo there i go... [03:29] larry probably. but it does depend if it's kubuntu related or not. [03:30] ok, thanks...can someone tell me how to set up different backgounds on different "deskktops" in kubuntu? [03:30] although we do often answer some very generic linux questions and even a winderz Q or two [03:30] right click the desktop configure [03:31] 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] lol @ Unknown [03:32] I thought whoo hoo ment success [03:32] yeah my wife isn't too thrilled that i just got a new computer and completly want to wipe of VISTA [03:32] of-off [03:32] i liked the "idiot in front of..." part [03:33] you dont have to wipe it you can dual boot [03:33] how do you make compiz the default?

[03:33] bdog: use the desktop effects application [03:33] * Agent_bob retracts statement [03:34] 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] it isn't starting? [03:34] 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] larry kde3 or kde4 ? [03:34] unless you ahve a more realiable source i can read up on? [03:34] ahve=have [03:34] Unknown: Linux has figured that out (used to be a problem) [03:35] so 8.04 should figure it out automatically? [03:36] unknown it doesn't take long for the free community to fix problems [03:36] Agen bob...hmmm.....let me see if I can figure out which I am using.... [03:36] that maybe true...but whos going to fix my problem if i couldn't even get to the free community :) [03:36] kmenu help about kde [03:37] good point lol [03:37] dick!

[03:49] hello all, seems to be busy in here [03:50] 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] generick: what package did you install to get java plugins? what browser? and 32 or 64-bit system? [03:50] djg9282 a little fear is healthy [03:50] yeah especially when you have absolutly no clue what you are doing [03:51] thats how you learn [03:51] juncato: java 6.0 and 32. [03:51] generick: that's "jucato" :P [03:51] generick: you installed sun-java6-plugin? [03:51] 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] 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 [03:52] 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] jucato: yes, i used adept, instead of command line [03:52] of course it can probably be fixed later on [03:52] Agent_bob: i actually want it that way...but want to be smart before i do something [03:52] don't wait that long [03:53] lol [03:53] generick: hm.. strange that it doesn't work.... [03:53] DJG9282 also see Jucato's two posts above ^ [03:53] Jucato: yeah looking at those right now [03:53] 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] opps [03:53] sorry [03:53] that was meant for agent bob [03:53] larry: no no. I was asking if you enabled Desktop Effects [03:54] jucato: probably not, since I don't know where I should do that. [03:54] larry: if yes, then that is why you don't have Desktop 1, 2 , etc. in the background configuration window [03:54] hm.. ok.. [03:55] larry: how many virtual desktops do you have? [03:55] where would I check to see if Desktop Effects is enabled? [03:55] jucato: I go to System > Desktop Effects and it opens a screen titled "Compiz Desktop Effects". [03:55] you already said it [03:55] There are 2 virtual desktops showing [03:56] jucato: sorry, works in konqueror, but not in firefox.. i am happy in konqueror.. [03:56] generick: hehe that's even weirder. but you're sure you installed the suan-java6-plugin package? [03:57] not the one from the java site i hope [03:57] Jucato: yes, i will do a apt-get on it just to be sure though [03:57] 有人在吗 [03:57] !ch [03:57] Factoid ch not found [03:58] !compiz | larry you might ask in the channel listed here.

[03:59] (Y) [03:59] larry that's not a slander against you, we all had to learn, it's just a statement of fact. [04:00] apt say 'sun-java6-plugin is already the newest version' [04:01] if its not installed system wide it might not work in ff [04:01] Agent bob: I believe I stated earlier that "compiz" is installed. No "slander" taken. I understand what you are saying. Thanks for your suggestions. [04:02] 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] ok. but installed != running [04:03] DJG9282 i'm sure someone can. it happens here all the time [04:03] :) thanks guys have a good night or morning...whichever it is where you are [04:03] 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] 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] DJG9282 the good news is there are linux drivers on intels website [04:04] oh thanks Mr--T i'll have to look at that...then you can direct me on how to install those :P [04:04] with root=as root, forgive [04:04] generick ##linux ##linuxhelp and #kubuntu-offtopic are all willing to facilitate discussions about linux apps [04:05] * Agent_bob note to self, that would look better if spelled correctly [04:06] !root | Jabop [04:06] 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] Jabop did you set a root password ? [04:06] 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] Agent_bob: yes [04:07] Jabop is the server set to deny root login ? [04:07] 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] I don't know but I googled your chip set and it took me to the drivers [04:08] 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] they may be new or on your system already undetected [04:08] Jabop i'm not familear with lsh-server openssh-server would be my choice there. [04:09] Agent_bob: Fair enough. Once I get these files transfered I may give that a shot. [04:10] ok thanks :) [04:10] Jabop beware though there may be a bug in the hardy version of sshd check the launchpad [04:10] np [04:10] !bug | larry [04:10] larry: 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 [04:12] 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] exact complaint "scp only creates empty files" [04:16] final thought on that, if it's kernel side it could affect scp over any protocal i guess [04:18] !bug scp [04:19] bots asleep!! === bruno is now known as Eukzeta [04:20] ??

[05:02] frybye: try ctrl+esc [05:02] Or even ctrl-alt-esc [05:03] thanx.. [05:03] is there one for shutting a window (without using the process manager..?) [05:04] something with F4 or..? [05:04] frybye: ctrl-alt-esc then place X on offensive window and click [05:05] and when the whole pc freezes over.. how to interrupt/shut down fairly safely..? [05:05] ctrl-alt-delete or?? [05:06] but only once or...? [05:06] 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] If you get all 3 lights on keyboard blinking together thats a kernel panic, no option then but to hard power-off [05:07] 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] - put differently - what is cli - and how to use..? [05:07] 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# === eljefe_ is now known as jthomas [05:08] frybye: CLI= command line interface [05:08] so in the cli - just enter ps ? or?? [05:09] 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] Since the list is long, usually [05:10] * mr--t wonders what happened to top [05:10] 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!)

[07:41] Sakui: sorry!? [07:41] bascule: I guess make the icons smaller [07:42] and 2 rows [07:42] 2 rows, no, smaller is done by adjusting the size of the panel [07:43] right-click -> panel menu -> configure panel [07:44] bascule: that's for the taskbar not system tray [07:44] 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 [07:45] oh the system tray specifically, well that should auto adjust to 2 rows (mine does) [07:45] I assumed you meant panel in general,sorry :) [07:45] s'ok :) [07:46] * sportman_ cries [07:46] fucken wireless [07:47] I am pretty sure it just needs th epanel to be a certain height for it to go to 2 rows [07:47] sportman_: language please :) [07:47] I just hate that big arrow that it hides the icons. [07:47] sorry bascule [07:47] Sakui: turn that off [07:47] bascule: i ot the wireless light to turn on, but kwifi does nothing and i cant connect [07:48] Sakui: in appearance -> hiding uncheck the boxes [07:48] bas: how do I hide it?

[09:46] man kill theFATMAN [09:48] so being at work keeps one out of irc.. hmmm thats new.. heheh [09:48] ok ok it depends a bit I gues... [09:49] for instance when one is on a job-experiance scheme - 20% doing it support in a govt. school and 80% killing time .. then... ;) [09:50] not sure what it is called in English - basically a way of making it "look as if" they have less unemployed... [09:50] anyhow - this is all a bit OT [09:50] hi. I'm having issues with knetworkmanager :( It stays connected to my home wifi LAN while I'm logged in, but when I lock the screen for more than a few minutes, when I come back it's been disconnected, and is asking for my kwallet password. What's the story?? [09:51] wthf in consol ps ad|more - and then kill with the pid number or..? [09:52] squid - looks like you are putting the pc into hibernation or similar... [09:52] frybye: sounds right, but I don't think that's happening.... [09:53] frybye: ps aux | grep yes or use top and press k to kill [09:54] wthf - i am lost.. dont have the background knowedlge to deal with a lota stuff... [09:54] what is top and how to use and so on??? [09:55] frybye: all of us didn't ... use google, man and --help, and irc to learn more [09:55] to list the processes the ps ad or ?? [09:55] frybye: konsole --> top [09:56] oh that is cool - I gues I start slowly remembering unix stuff from way back too - like man to get the docs... [09:56] all the application have a man page and a --help file [09:56] cant try anything right now - cos I am on a windows pc at work.. (work in the broadest of definitions-) [09:57] what do the letters - top - standfor in this cast - terminal something something??

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] oportunity i have is to restart the system with the reset-button on my pc. [12:38] kkk [12:38] does anyone know what causes the problem? [12:39] oh and all the other time compiz works VERY nice without problems :) [12:40] so if compiz is disabled - it never locks up? [12:40] no [12:41] no it never locks up? or No it does lockup. :) [12:42] my compiz is very stable, but my bzflag client segfaults regularly when running under compiz :) [12:42] it never locks up ;) [12:42] bzflag? [12:42] alt-f2 gg:bzflag [12:43] 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..

[12:46] 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] the free driver is getting much better [12:46] I think nvidia and ati both need slapped untill they allow the disrto makers to include the drivers with no legal hassles.. :() [12:46] not fglrx though [12:47] but they're not really committed, everything is going forward much slower than we'd like [12:47] Stalmanists will kill me for this but ATI releasing there spec means little compaired to Nvidia providing useable drivers [12:47] not really [12:47] nvidia doesn't even work with xorg 1.5 [12:48] which is a real problem for fedora 9 [12:49] really, well i only used ubuntu at home but nvidia never gave any problems [12:50] hello everyone!

[12:52] i needed a replacement to my intel laptop fast and just took this one, its not great the CD drive can fall out i think thats crashes X for me a couple of times without me having a clue whats happend [12:53] to change a new one. [12:53] it's the best way. [12:56] when I try to build apps, it can't find the X inclued. so which packages do I have to install? [12:57] X includes* [12:57] reese: xorg-dev iirc [12:57] !xincludes [12:57] When a program or configure script asks for "X includes", you should probably install the following package: xorg-dev [12:57] !find xorg-dev [12:57] Found: libglu1-xorg-dev, xorg-dev, xserver-xorg-dev [12:57] xorg-dev is a metapackage [12:58] thanks. what's this "iirc"? [12:58] reese: if I recall correctly [12:59] if I recall correctly ... iirc is.... if I recall correctly [12:59] oh, ok :) [13:00] 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? [13:04] I just run jockey-gtk or jockey-kde [13:04] :) [13:04] They changed the name of it in the menus i think. [13:06] thank you again [13:09] riddell: http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/tmp/upgrade2.png referenced from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades/Kubuntu is dead [13:10] and how can i toggle dr for 3d-games? [13:10] or dri [13:11] felix_e: hrm [13:11] I don't think I have a copy of that [13:12] probably not the best idea to link to an image from a "tmp" folder from the official docs :) === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh [13:22] !acerhk [13:22] Factoid acerhk not found [13:29] Hey there again folks. How might i go about create (windows like) shortcuts to .sh files for execution? [13:29] I want to create two shortcuts for apache tomcat, startup and shutdown :) [13:30] on KDE, just take and drag the sh file to somewhere else like your desktop [13:30] when yuo let go, slect Link here from the option list [13:30] Oh really [13:30] I believe that should work [13:32] anyone here ever tried adobe's flash 10 plugin on opera? was wondering if it works [13:36] given how flakey flash can be... I aint even going to LOOK at flash 10 for a long time [13:36] Dr_willis: i hear ya :) [13:38] hey can kooka do multipage pdfs? was wondering if there's a howto anywhere to do it [13:42] morning. [13:42] install linux [13:42] im having an issue with my kubuntu installation, i updated to kde4 and now i can't find any of my programs that im installing (I.E. firefox) not in the applications menu anywhere [13:43] i want to install linux from hdd,but it get into emergency shell.who can tell me how to get init to the normal modle! [13:43] hi === sredna2 is now known as sredna [13:46] broken ¤%#¤&%/%& === ubuntu__ is now known as irishguy [13:50] hello? is there a way to create a multipage pdf on kooka anyone? [13:54] after reading a man document in the terminal window - how do I exit it and return to a prompt? [13:54] erythrocyte: I was reading man kooka .. did you try kooka --help-all ?? [13:54] frybye: q [13:55] control q or..? [13:55] Just q. [13:55] tks penny.. [13:56] Howdy [13:56] frybe: lemme try that and get back [13:58] erythrocyte: what format does it normally produce..?? [13:58] frybye: unfortunately neither the manual nor the man page has anything [13:58] that command didn't provide any relevant info [13:58] I had never heard of the programme - am a newbie in some respects... [13:58] !acer [13:58] Factoid acer not found [13:58] perhaps someone else .. did you ask google??? [13:59] frybye: well, normally when you scan an image it lists out a host of options png, postscript, etc....everything except pdf [13:59] pdf is one of the last options one can find mostly.. they have to liscence some code from adobe or...? [13:59] frybye: yes i did...and the only pdf related stuff i came across was that apparently kde progs use a pdf printer... [13:59] a converter will be the way I guess... [14:00] the thing is to output a pdf, you need to goto File>Print and then select the pdf printer [14:00] but i don't know what to do for it to combine all my scanned images [14:00] i just switched to xsane out of the frustration [14:00] is it known that 32bit firefox with 32bit java is broken on 64bit systems? [14:01] sredna: its not, well it wasnt when i was on gutsy [14:01] Rioting_pacifist: since today i can not use my web bank, which is my sole reason for having ff at all :-( [14:03] does it completly not work? [14:03] sredna - there are ways of installing ff3 on 64x system - a sys-eng did it here for me... [14:03] frybye: so what? [14:03] not sure if the java is 32bit .. (i am a relative newbie..) [14:03] Rioting_pacifist: something else does, not my bank [14:03] so what - you were saying that it dosent work or..? [14:04] * sredna would prefer konqueror having secure java support [14:04] frybye: why would i want ff3? [14:04] the same reason as a few million other users I guess.. [14:05] <--- is not looking for an argument this afternoon - at 32°C it is just too hot for that... [14:05] how do you no its java and not your bank [14:05] *know [14:06] ff generally sucks at rendering webpages, compared to khtml or webkit :-) [14:06] even to ie8 [14:06] had very little trouble with ff3 b5 but as you wish... [14:07] my bank simply makes the sucker freeze :( [14:07] sredna: doesn't konq have a security manager for java? [14:07] I am going to fly around a bit to relax - bye folks - run flight gear... whooosh.... [14:08] cba with this but generally that's not true ff renders more pages fine, sure it doesnt have the same fonts as webkit ect but each to thier own [14:10] how do you make the windows translucent? the actual windows, not just the border [14:10] theFATMAN_ is this with compiz or just kde [14:11] kde+compiz-fusion+emerald [14:11] alt + scroll [14:12] lol, its always somethin simple.....is there a way to keep the borders the same? [14:14] i dont think so, maybe emerald has an option somewhere but i doubt it compiz isnt as option friendly as beryl was [14:14] i'll look, recreating the theme from the kid in die hard 4 [14:14] his desktop [14:15] !compiz | theFATMAN [14:15] theFATMAN: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default.

[15:07] genii : I have tried to go back, still not working. [15:07] I have dual up to login screen, but soon as I login, goes to clone [15:09] genii : do I need the ATI drivers from ATI or with the ubuntu ones do?

I have installed the AIT ones already [15:11] I made a copy of my xorg.conf right after the last fresh install of 7.04 [15:11] JuJuBee: sudo apt-get install --reinstall xorg-driver-fglrx [15:12] Will put ati === JanMalte is now known as hans === hans is now known as JanMalte [15:14] Hello.

[15:24] are there compatibility issues between different versions of Smb4k? Another box with v.0.8.6 can connect, but I can't with v.0.9.3 [15:24] the damn thing won't let me mount some disks, while others, it would mount but only partialy read them [15:25] some files (few) read fine, while others produce IO errors... [15:25] rav: Is the kubuntu box network settings manually configured or is it on dhcp or so? [15:26] genii: the kubuntu is on a wireless network, using dhcp. the other is on a cable [15:27] !sticky keys [15:27] Factoid sticky keys not found [15:27] entering some folders on them causes some programs to lock, the drive to lock, and the only way to shutdown the system that seems to work is via the shutdown command, only the shutdown process won't end because it's always buisy with trying to read logical block 176.... [15:27] rav: And they are on compatible range? [15:29] genii: yes. I can get into each of the machines apache pages from the other. but the Kubuntu smb network browser shows nothing [15:29] my numlock button is behaving opposite to what it shud..any idea how to fix it [15:29] ?

[15:31] it wshould save what you have downloaded so far [15:31] my numlock button is behaving opposite to what it shud..any idea how to fix it? [15:31] or can some one tell me from where i get access to sticky keys option? [15:32] genii: I just used smb:// on Konqueror and it worked. It might be a problem of the Smb4k user interface [15:35] rav: Google is spitting back lots of results indicating Knetworkmanager and smb4k don't play nice together [15:35] BiteyBite, xen and xmodmap will help you know what your keys are mapped to [15:36] rav: Also old but perhaps relevent http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=220912 maybe check properties of these files [15:39] genii: I tried to browse through Dolphin, and I got a message saying that it can't find any workgroups, maybe because an active firewall [15:39] How come when i move to another desktop i can still see my open windows in other desktops in the taskbar? [15:40] Is there a setting i can change? [15:41] rav: Did you install some firewal like Firestarter or Watchdog? [15:41] 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? [15:43] 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 [15:45] how do i deactivate all sticky keys? [15:45] system settings somewhere :P [15:46] rav: I'm thinking this is likely the issue then.

[16:03] Agent_bob: I'm wondering why he doesn't just specify the path of the .sh file when running it [16:04] Yeah, i think the problem is something else.. I can even run this app unless i do it though a terminal [16:04] permissions maybe? [16:04] 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. [16:05] Haza1 chmod can change permissions and chown can change ownership [16:05] yeah, my user owns the file(s) [16:05] and to test [16:05] i dod chmod 777 -R /folder [16:05] ls -l can list it's owner and perms [16:05] *did [16:06] well 777 is world read/write/exec so it's not a perms/owner issue. [16:06] i would sujest not leaving it 777 tho. that's a security hole. [16:06] Hehehe, damn right Agent_bob :) [16:06] 755 maybe [16:09] Haza1 this is a shell script ? does the first line look something like #!/bin/sh ? [16:10] any one can help me a new kubuntu user? [16:10] * Agent_bob points out that linux has traditionally not used file name (extentions) to determine what to do with them. [16:11] but that some gui junk does use filenames and mime types [16:11] as [16:11] haryono: whats the problem?

[23:17] dunno [23:17] it won't work [23:17] i downloaded tar.gz from website [23:17] and it won't work [23:17] helpy: heh....look for vlc in adept :) [23:17] helpy: you'll need many other thing to make your own from tar.gz, dl it from repo [23:17] ok found it [23:17] downloading [23:17] always always look there first :) [23:18] yea just read a tutorial :) [23:24] anyone knows how can i speed up my kde? [23:24] prodigy: are you using compiz ? [23:25] no i am not helpy [23:25] prodigy: kde is not famous for its speed... [23:25] Odd-rationale: sidux and arch have speed in kde... [23:25] my kde is ok [23:26] sometimes it gets stuck [23:26] prodigy: that is an arch thing not kde ;) [23:26] arch+kdemod is quite fast! [23:26] is there a process manager to kill processes in kde ? [23:26] kguard [23:26] helpy: ksysguard [23:26] oh ok great [23:26] helpy: ctrl+esc [23:27] like puppy linux i have to set up fire fall in kub too ? [23:27] firewall? [23:27] !firewall [23:27] 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). [23:29] awesome [23:29] vlc is working great [23:29] do you know who have free bnc or free shell for me ? [23:30] does anybody know of a way to get kopete to organize all contacts alphabetically regardless of status. [23:31] is that the same if i install ubuntu server and kubuntu-desktop on it? [23:31] as a kubuntu install? [23:32] MetaMorfoziS: pretty close [23:32] but in hardware support? [23:32] yeah... same [23:32] what is the difference? [23:33] MetaMorfoziS: i think the server iso has the server kernel [23:33] oh... thats true... it might [23:34] you can get a cli from the alternative cd. just press f4 to get options in the boot screen [23:34] if you wanted the generic kernel... [23:34] so i can make a kubuntu from that... [23:35] you can install kubuntu-desktop on either the server or generic kernel [23:35] i just asks because the kubuntu's alternate install's encrypted lvm setup isn't makes a bootable medium [23:35] i want to switch to kopete, but im still so used to pidgin [23:35] so i thought i try that with a server install [23:35] and build up... [23:36] what's the best, install ubuntu(!) and remove all gnome **** or install ubuntu server? [23:36] probably the latter [23:37] 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] helpy > no [23:37] helpy: pretty much... [23:37] /etc is also needed [23:37] for xorg, apache etc that you has [23:37] so back up /etc too. [23:37] oh yeah, that is true... [23:38] but don't copy back it without thinking [23:38] just what you need [23:38] wheres etc ? [23:38] helpy: in / [23:38] /etc [23:38] the same where /home found:) [23:38] ok its in root [23:40] ok one more prob [23:40] its not detecting my super drive [23:41] what is super drive? [23:42] helpy > and in other hands, i recommend you to backup your /etc like this: sudo tar -cvvf etc080604.tar /etc [23:42] sudo because not every file available for normal users, tar to save the file's permissions too [23:42] cd/dvd reader+writer [23:43] plug it off [23:43] sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog [23:43] press some enter [23:43] plug it in [23:43] and check what it dumps [23:43] and google:/ [23:43] not working meta [23:43] tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive [23:43] Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information. [23:44] it works [23:44] i think you has a typo [23:44] or copyed wrong piece:) [23:44] lets copy paste :) [23:44] "sudo tar -cvvf etc080604.tar /etc" [23:44] wothout ":D [23:45] ok done [23:45] now what ? [23:45] i want to burn whole back up to dvd [23:45] GOTO 00:42(+-your gmt) [23:45] huh ?

[23:46] yep [23:46] and it isn't detects? [23:46] weird:/ [23:46] anyone know how to fix subtitle problem in kaffeine? it freezes the video for half a second every time subtitle appears.. [23:47] helpy > sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog [23:47] whats that ? [23:47] this dumps your systems messages [23:47] near everything [23:48] done [23:48] plug offf your writer, press some enter to get some space [23:48] and pug in [23:48] shall i reinsert dvd ? [23:48] grr [23:48] i use kaffeine with xine engine, intel graphic 915GM, everything but this works fine. [23:48] if isn't dvd in the rom, where you know that it isn't works? [23:48] check k3b [23:48] 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] is that prints your rom's type? [23:49] it won't detect dvd [23:49] because when i insert usb, i get a msg that storage device has been plugged [23:49] but it doesnt alert me when i insert dvd [23:50] so the problem is not with the writer:/ [23:50] so ? [23:50] http://webjegyzet.hu/p/k3b.png [23:50] check this area of k3b [23:50] the bold text is your rom, the text under it is the type of medium [23:51] what you have here, with inserted in dvd? [23:51] an image of puppy linux i guess [23:51] Did you see your rom's type? Did you see anything else than "no medium present"? [23:51] where do i find my rom on dolphin ? [23:52] type media:/ [23:52] to somewhere:D [23:52] * MetaMorfoziS hates dolphin but psst:) [23:52] anyone know how to fix subtitle problem in kaffeine? it freezes the video for half a second every time subtitle appears.. [23:52] no it has found dvd [23:52] what should i use instead of dolphin ? [23:52] not should [23:52] but you can use a lot of other programs [23:53] such as krusader [23:53] that's like totalcommander [23:53] wow it has detected [23:53] hmm what do you use ? [23:53] or konqueror for image browsing, if you asks me. [23:53] http://krusader.org/ [23:53] seems like its working [23:53] hardy has the latest in the repos [23:53] hey are you using, google toolbar in ff ?

[23:55] i'm not using compiz [23:55] ok [23:55] and i'm from Hugnary:) [23:55] great. [23:55] helpy: does it move from let to right?

[23:57] k thanks [23:57] but with smplayer i think it's the coolest ever:) (it's just mine opinion) [23:57] check it, it will uncheck that other effect [23:57] no its checked [23:57] and no its not unchecking all others [23:57] helpy: can you find it?

[23:58] ok [23:58] ? [23:58] k [23:58] how do i update my menu.lst file to show my new kernel image its still show my old one? [23:59] 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] want something with "site" protocol...
