| ign0ramus | szakulec: i usually put a terminal icon on the desktop, but that works too ;) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| axel | ign0ramus: I thought so, too: E-Mails, Surfing, a very little bit of writing texts. | 00:00 |
| szakulec | maybe set-up Amarok? | 00:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | definitely install openssh and ddclient (and set them up with a dyndns account) if you want to easily do tech support from home | 00:00 |
| ign0ramus | szakulec: they don't even use it to listen to music, but i think i'll do that, for my own purposes ;) | 00:00 |
| axel | ign0ramus: Now I get to hear that the system is sooo complcated. (as some Dialogues are a little bit different from the ones in Windows. | 00:01 |
| ign0ramus | daisuke_ido: i've never ssh'd before... | 00:01 |
| === sport|timeout is now known as sportman | ||
| Daisuke_Ido | ign0ramus: a lot easier than you'd think | 00:01 |
| ign0ramus | Daisuke_Ido: i'll check for a tutorial. good idea! | 00:01 |
| szakulec | it's very easy, although you need to know a few things up front about it | 00:02 |
| ign0ramus | fyi, i am keeping a 40gb windows partition (that will be first in grub boot order) | 00:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | my in-laws are using ubuntu now and would completely lose it if they had to go back to windows | 00:02 |
| ign0ramus | Daisuke_Ido: i was about to lose it, too: always with the A/V, Spyware and Firewall issues... ugh | 00:03 |
| Blake_Tst | i just got ubuntu and was wondering can anyone help me with installing programs and waht not | 00:03 |
| szakulec | ign0ramus: it's usually a text-console login only, there's no sound, and you've got one terminal to work with. Also, don't run anything with & | 00:03 |
| ign0ramus | now that they finally got a broadband connection (finally!), i won't mind working on their computer | 00:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that's actually why they agreed to switch. they had a complete crash, and compaq never gave them restore media, and the restore partition wouldn't boot. | 00:03 |
| nosrednaekim | Blake_Tst: what would you like to install? | 00:03 |
| Blake_Tst | Teamspeak | 00:03 |
| axel | Blake_Tst: What do you want to install? | 00:03 |
| nosrednaekim | !info teamspeak | 00:04 |
| ubottu | Package teamspeak does not exist in hardy | 00:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | teamspeak is a windows app | 00:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | this isn't windows | 00:04 |
| nosrednaekim | thats what I thought <_< | 00:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | you could try wine, but no promises and no guarantees | 00:04 |
| Blake_Tst | thought there was a dl linx | 00:04 |
| genii | There is a teamspeak addon for pidgin | 00:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | genii: really... nice | 00:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | there ya go :) | 00:04 |
| Blake_Tst | genii how would i get that | 00:05 |
| Blake_Tst | i know nothing about computers | 00:05 |
| Blake_Tst | but anything is better thne vista imo | 00:05 |
| ign0ramus | there's a teamspeak tutorial here (YMMV): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TeamSpeak | 00:05 |
| Blake_Tst | ok thanks | 00:05 |
| axel | Blake_Tst: I found some packages in the Ubuntu-repositories: teamspeak-client and teamspeak-server. | 00:05 |
| szakulec | if you're not strictly dependent on TeamSpeak itself, and just need that style of chat client, I'm hearing good things about Mumble | 00:05 |
| Blake_Tst | well i need teampseak its self to connect to there servers i belive | 00:06 |
| eldowan | I've just started to use the current hardy kde4 build, and was am having a slight problem. When I set the panel to the tiny setting, the digital clock applet is too large to see correctly. Is there a way to change this? | 00:06 |
| engineer | firefox 3 rc2 released | 00:06 |
| Blake_Tst | gonna try the guide thing | 00:07 |
| Blake_Tst | this is so much diffrent then windows o.o | 00:08 |
| nosrednaekim | yeah.... this is certainly the hard way to install things too | 00:08 |
| Blake_Tst | its worht it i think | 00:09 |
| ign0ramus | blake_tst: why not keep a windows partition for using windows apps, instead of forcing them to work in Linux? | 00:09 |
| Blake_Tst | well i first went from vista | 00:09 |
| Blake_Tst | to xp | 00:09 |
| ign0ramus | good choice ;) | 00:09 |
| Blake_Tst | adn laptop wouldnt run it | 00:09 |
| Blake_Tst | so had to use ubuntu as last resort | 00:10 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: what model? | 00:10 |
| Blake_Tst | and it turned out to be alot better | 00:10 |
| Blake_Tst | acer aspire 5520-5334 | 00:10 |
| nosrednaekim | usually its far easier to install things in ubuntu :) | 00:10 |
| ign0ramus | ubuntu is great, but i still need windows for certain things | 00:10 |
| Blake_Tst | not the best but ya | 00:10 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: i have almost the same model... xp probably didn't work because of the SATA drive | 00:10 |
| Blake_Tst | ya i have no clue what that is but my computer would shut off randomly | 00:11 |
| Blake_Tst | like i had no control | 00:11 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: you can change the settings in BIOS to emulate IDE, or you can install the SATA driver | 00:11 |
| Blake_Tst | not going to bother messing with the BIOS was told if you mess somthing up things turn out bad and i know nothing about computers | 00:11 |
| Blake_Tst | suprised i could get ubuntu myself | 00:11 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: im not trying to disuade you from ubuntu, its great, but you can also run xp if you wish to run windows apps | 00:11 |
| === hagabaka` is now known as hagabaka | ||
| Blake_Tst | i know i know just saying for me to do all that im better off just using ubuntu | 00:12 |
| Blake_Tst | don't want to mess with stuff i don't know how to fix if i break it lol | 00:12 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: for the most part, you are, but you will learn to live without certain things (at least for now, anyway) ;) | 00:12 |
| Blake_Tst | lol oh boy :x | 00:14 |
| ign0ramus | for example, your webcam won't work on any flash-based sites (stickam, live.yahoo), etc | 00:14 |
| ign0ramus | not yet, anyway | 00:14 |
| Blake_Tst | i have another question i see all these things on youtube its like a 3d cube that you zoom out and cna move it around to go from your desktop to like firefox or to bittorrent | 00:15 |
| ign0ramus | compiz fusion | 00:15 |
| ign0ramus | google it | 00:15 |
| Pici | !compiz | Blake_Tst | 00:15 |
| ubottu | Blake_Tst: 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 | 00:15 |
| Blake_Tst | alright thanks | 00:15 |
| Blake_Tst | this is oging to get alot of getting use to o.o | 00:16 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: | 00:16 |
| Blake_Tst | yes? | 00:16 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: in a few months, you'll be a pro (or at least intermediate) | 00:16 |
| Blake_Tst | ya i know | 00:16 |
| ign0ramus | its just like learning anything else | 00:16 |
| Blake_Tst | its like if i went from windows to mac its just the switch is hte hard part | 00:16 |
| Blake_Tst | i plan on getting a macpro depending on how muhc i make this summer | 00:17 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: once you learn, it's painful to go back! | 00:17 |
| Blake_Tst | want to partion it with ubuntu | 00:17 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: why do you want to overpay for hardware? ;) | 00:17 |
| Blake_Tst | i heard macs were better what else could i get | 00:17 |
| Blake_Tst | i also don't liek vista at all | 00:18 |

| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: Macs are cool-looking and trendy, but not really any better than any other configuration you could get for cheaper | 00:20 |
| ign0ramus | ? huh | 00:20 |
| Blake_Tst | my computer speakers r just like beating for no reason | 00:21 |

| taafis | is there any way to get an "Interactive PHP-shell" in the terminal sessions menu? | 00:24 |
| taafis | actually just a terminal that starts with php -a | 00:25 |
| ign0ramus | taafis: you just want to run php scripts from terminal? what are you trying to do? | 00:26 |
| taafis | to test some stuff, debug etc | 00:27 |
| ign0ramus | taafis: so you just want to run php scripts, yes? | 00:27 |
| taafis | no, not php-scripts | 00:27 |
| taafis | i've got lamp installed | 00:28 |
| taafis | but running the php-cli stuff | 00:28 |
| ign0ramus | you have php4-cli installed? | 00:28 |
| taafis | after you've installed php5-cli you can type "php -a" to get an interactive php shell | 00:28 |
| genii | just php -a should work | 00:28 |
| taafis | i know | 00:28 |
| taafis | but would be cool to have an option like the Python Interpreter shell | 00:29 |
| ign0ramus | oh... that, i have no idea | 00:29 |
| genii | taafis: You could make a new user with the default shell of php | 00:29 |
| taafis | what do you mean? | 00:30 |
| Tstantonfsu | alright i'm back | 00:30 |
| === Tstantonfsu is now known as Blake_Tst | ||

| Jucato | turtle again... | 00:35 |

| Brian88 | my problem is, | 00:36 |
| Brian88 | my hdd is 80 gb | 00:36 |
| stdin | :) | 00:36 |
| Blake_Tst | it says cd to the directory where you saved the install file whats that mean o.o | 00:36 |
| ign0ramus | Brian88: and... | 00:36 |
| Brian88 | 25GB for XP (sorry, I wrong, mine is XP not Vista) | 00:36 |
| Brian88 | and the rest of the disk for data | 00:36 |
| ign0ramus | Brian88: ok, no problems | 00:36 |
| Brian88 | how to resize the data partition | 00:37 |
| Brian88 | so I can put this on the resized partition | 00:37 |
| Brian88 | Data 55GB > 40GB and 10GB for Kubuntu | 00:37 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: cd means "change directory" in a terminal, if you type: " cd /home " you will be in your home directory | 00:37 |
| Brian88 | If I work with datas I will put it in the data partition. | 00:38 |
| Brian88 | so how to resize | 00:38 |
| ign0ramus | Brian88: do "data" and "xp" already have partitions? | 00:38 |
| Brian88 | yes | 00:38 |
| Brian88 | | <-- XP 25GB --> | <-------------- DATA 55GB -----------------> | | 00:38 |
| Brian88 | already filled with data | 00:38 |
| Brian88 | and I want to change it : | 00:39 |
| genii | ign0ramus: No, you'll be one level above your home directory | 00:39 |
| ign0ramus | genii: yeah, you caught me ;) | 00:39 |
| genii | heh | 00:39 |
| Brian88 | | <-- XP 25GB --> | <-------------- DATA 45GB ---------------> | <-Kubuntu 10GB -> | | 00:39 |
| ign0ramus | Brian88: just use the installer to "shrin" the Data portion | 00:40 |
| ign0ramus | *shrink | 00:40 |
| ign0ramus | if xp and data are NTFS, i would recommend running a defrag first | 00:40 |
| genii | Blake_Tst: In a konsole if you do: cd ~/ that puts you in /home/yourname if from there you: cd Desktop then you are in the folder where the things you see on your desktop are | 00:40 |
| Blake_Tst | ok | 00:41 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: windows actually does the same thing if you open up cmd (command shell) | 00:41 |
| ign0ramus | its just a command-line way of navigating through your files | 00:41 |
| Blake_Tst | and i get to that i put in the code im suppose to to install teamspeak | 00:42 |
| tinin | If I use a theme with wine, it runs much more slow. Is this a common problem? | 00:42 |
| Blake_Tst | comes up with somthing saying i have to put my password in | 00:42 |
| Blake_Tst | i do | 00:42 |
| Blake_Tst | and says incorrect -.- | 00:42 |
| Blake_Tst | 3 times >.> | 00:42 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: i'm guessing you're putting in the wrong password (obvious?) | 00:43 |
| Blake_Tst | one second i will try again lol | 00:43 |
| flaccid_ | check this out: http://www.quickcamteam.net/ <-- logitech trying to look like they support *nix | 00:43 |
| ign0ramus | oooh! there's a kernel upgrade? | 00:43 |

| ign0ramus | Brian88: in your case, "manual" | 00:43 |
| mneptok | Brian88: run the Partition Editor from the System>Admin menu | 00:44 |
| Blake_Tst | ign0ramus | 00:44 |
| ign0ramus | mneptok: i think he's using the install disc | 00:44 |
| Blake_Tst | is it ok if i copy and paste what its saying to u though a privtie message | 00:44 |
| mneptok | ign0ramus: gparted should be included on the live cd | 00:44 |

| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: you are not in the right directory. where did you download your tar.bz2 package to? (home folder, desktop, etc) | 00:47 |
| Blake_Tst | desktop | 00:48 |
| Brian88 | @ignoramus : the wubi one? If I install Kubuntu via Wubi, can I uninstall it later? | 00:48 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: you can just click it and Ark will open it | 00:48 |
| ign0ramus | Brian88: | 00:48 |
| ign0ramus | Brian88: yes | 00:48 |
| Blake_Tst | ok thanks | 00:48 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: extract to desktop then | 00:48 |
| Blake_Tst | the folders on the desktop now | 00:49 |

| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: what are you installing again? | 00:49 |
| Blake_Tst | teamspeak | 00:49 |

| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: ok, so open that folder- is there a file called "README" or "INSTALL"? | 00:50 |
| Brian88 | okay, thanks all... great answer. I'll go to my XP and install Kubuntu from there. Bye... | 00:50 |
| Blake_Tst | readme setup.data setup.sh | 00:50 |
| ign0ramus | Brian88: take care! | 00:50 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: usually the readme or install file will give you instructions on how to compile (install) the program | 00:50 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: make sure you have " build-essential " installed | 00:51 |
| Blake_Tst | oh boy how do i know if thats installed | 00:51 |
| Blake_Tst | applications>add remove programs? | 00:51 |
| ign0ramus | in terminal, type: " sudo apt-get install build-essential " | 00:51 |
| Blake_Tst | k thnks | 00:51 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: most apps can be found in Add/Remove or in Adept, but if you already know the package name, "apt-get" install is quicker ;) | 00:52 |
| Blake_Tst | alright | 00:52 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: ok, now, what are the compiling instructions in the teamspeak folder? | 00:53 |
| Blake_Tst | one last question do you know if i changed my OS on my laptop if it would kill my waranty | 00:53 |
| Blake_Tst | cuz i went from vista to xp to ubuntu | 00:53 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: it shouldn't... you can always change back if it's a problem ;) | 00:53 |

| Blake_Tst | lol | 00:57 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: good. you understand. i say no more ;) | 00:58 |
| luis__ | When I boot up, I see GRUB displaying more than one kubuntu | 00:58 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: that's because you have more than one kernel installed | 00:58 |
| ign0ramus | its not harmful or bad in any way | 00:59 |
| ign0ramus | you can uninstall one if you don't need or want it | 00:59 |
| luis__ | very well, but my real question is why I have more than one kernel, perhaps I should mention that this started to happen since I added a hard disk | 00:59 |
| Blake_Tst | ign0ramus | 01:00 |
| Blake_Tst | i installed teamspeak client | 01:00 |
| Blake_Tst | is there a way to get a icon on my bar so i cna just click it | 01:00 |
| luis__ | I can't figure out what happens, from time to time another kernel apears | 01:00 |
| Blake_Tst | to start it up | 01:00 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: open " /boot/grub/grub.conf " and use pastebin and post contents | 01:00 |
| === irvin is now known as irvinhi | ||

| ign0ramus | luis__: open up /boot/grub and look for a file called "grub.conf" | 01:03 |
| Blake_Tst | and how do i open konqueror or dolphin lmao | 01:03 |
| Blake_Tst | i just got ubuntu not even a hour ago | 01:03 |
| Blake_Tst | sorry for being a little slow | 01:03 |
| ign0ramus | konqueror: kmenu (start menu) > internet > konqueror | 01:03 |
| Blake_Tst | all i have is applications places and system on my bar | 01:05 |
| luis__ | I'm at that directory | 01:05 |
| luis__ | but I can't see that file | 01:05 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: ok, type "konqueror" in a terminal | 01:05 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: wait... are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu??? | 01:06 |
| Blake_Tst | ubuntu o.o | 01:06 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: you are in the Kubuntu channel, which is Ubuntu, but with the KDE Desktop | 01:06 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: it's a little different... you don't have konqueror | 01:06 |
| ign0ramus | open Nautilus instead | 01:07 |
| Blake_Tst | blah | 01:07 |
| Blake_Tst | is there a ubuntu channel lol | 01:07 |
| ign0ramus | yep. same thing, just "join #ubuntu" | 01:07 |
| ign0ramus | i can still help | 01:07 |
| Blake_Tst | can you help me make the icon lol | 01:07 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: yeah, no problem. | 01:08 |
| Blake_Tst | alright :) | 01:08 |
| luis__ | perhaps I could paste the list of files in /boot/grub | 01:08 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: yes, that would be good | 01:08 |

| luis__ | sorry, I'm too much a newbie | 01:09 |
| Blake_Tst | alright ign now what do i do now o.o | 01:09 |
| j0hnny_ | hello | 01:09 |
| ign0ramus | ixnay: make sure you have "scan folders recursively" checked in amarok | 01:09 |
| IxnayOnTheHombre | i do | 01:10 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: did you go to /usr/bin? | 01:10 |
| j0hnny_ | i need some basic help if possible | 01:10 |
| j0hnny_ | anyone | 01:10 |
| ign0ramus | ixnay: try copying your music to a different folder, and see if amarok will scan it then | 01:10 |
| Blake_Tst | i put that in the terminal right? /usr/bin | 01:10 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: no, you want to go there in Nautilus (like Windows Explorer) | 01:11 |
| j0hnny_ | trying to get a driver for my wireless card in my laptop | 01:11 |
| ign0ramus | j0hnny_: what wireless card? | 01:11 |
| Blake_Tst | how do i get to nautilus | 01:11 |
| j0hnny_ | not sure brand new on this kubuntu | 01:12 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: i think its under "Applications" | 01:12 |
| nosrednaekim | !wireless | j0hnny_ | 01:12 |
| ubottu | j0hnny_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 01:12 |
| Blake_Tst | nothing o.o | 01:12 |
| ign0ramus | does anyone know where Nautilus is located in Ubuntu??? | 01:13 |
| j0hnny_ | thank you | 01:13 |
| nosrednaekim | nope.... try #ubuntu for that :P | 01:13 |
| Blake_Tst | ign im geussing its better off if i go to #ubuntu instead? | 01:13 |
| ign0ramus | i know, mike, but i'm trying to help Blake_Tst put an icon on his desktop | 01:13 |
| nosrednaekim | well, its alot different in GNOME | 01:14 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: you can, but you'll have to explain all over again ;) | 01:14 |
| Blake_Tst | great -.- | 01:14 |
| Blake_Tst | ign save me :x | 01:14 |
| Blake_Tst | <3 | 01:14 |
| ign0ramus | Blake_Tst: I'm not real familiar with gnome. sorry dude. | 01:14 |
| Blake_Tst | blah its fine thanks for all the help | 01:14 |
| ign0ramus | np. once you get used to ubuntu, install kde, and come back to hang out ;) | 01:15 |
| Blake_Tst | alright bye thanks again | 01:15 |
| luis__ | perhaps someone could tell me why every once in a while another kernel apears in my GRUB | 01:16 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: please post grub.conf in pastebin | 01:16 |
| ign0ramus | i have tried to help you twice now | 01:16 |
| luis__ | sorry, I could't see that file | 01:16 |
| ign0ramus | !pastebin | 01:16 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 01:16 |
| luis__ | that file does not show up in that directory | 01:17 |
| luis__ | I have pasted the result of ls | 01:17 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: what files are in /boot/grub??? | 01:17 |
| luis__ | I pasted that in pastebin | 01:17 |
| luis__ | how do I do to show that to you? | 01:18 |
| ign0ramus | you have to post the url of that pastebin so i know what to look at | 01:18 |
| j0hnny_ | how can i tell if the wireless card is even reading it is built into the latop | 01:18 |
| ign0ramus | j0hnny_: use the livecd to test. | 01:18 |
| j0hnny_ | so go back into windows | 01:19 |
| luis__ | ok ok | 01:19 |
| luis__ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/17033/ | 01:19 |
| j0hnny_ | i have the system dual boot | 01:19 |
| ign0ramus | j0hnny_: you're in kubuntu right now? | 01:19 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: ok, pastebin contents of " menu.lst " | 01:20 |
| flaccid_ | anyone who wants to help improve Logitech webcam support please make a comment and 'yes' to poll: see http://forums.quickcamteam.net/showthread.php?tid=324 | 01:21 |
| luis__ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/17040/ | 01:22 |
| desmond | flaccid | 01:22 |
| desmond | i use kopete | 01:22 |
| desmond | kde4 | 01:22 |
| desmond | and my logitech webcam | 01:23 |
| desmond | works perfect | 01:23 |
| ign0ramus | logitech cams for the most part, work very well in kubuntu | 01:23 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: ok, this is very simple | 01:23 |
| Daisuke_Ido | desmond: just because they tend to work well doesn't mean that they can't benefit from improvement | 01:23 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: you have three kernels installed. do you want to get rid of any of them? | 01:23 |
| desmond | ok | 01:23 |
| desmond | but what improvement could there be? | 01:24 |
| luis__ | yes, but also I'd like to know why they have apeared? | 01:24 |
| ign0ramus | Daisuke_Ido: you're right- who doesn't want improvement? :) | 01:24 |
| desmond | haha | 01:24 |
| Daisuke_Ido | desmond: well, not all logitech cams work | 01:24 |
| Daisuke_Ido | so there's an area that can be improved! | 01:24 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: anytime you upgrade, the newest kernel will be installed | 01:24 |
| desmond | ok | 01:24 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: there was just a new kernel update today | 01:24 |
| luis__ | oh, so when I runned adept to perform some upgrade... that made apear the new kernel | 01:25 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: that's probably why 2.6.24-18-generic just appeared in your GRUB | 01:25 |
| Daisuke_Ido | well, i should probably boot into the new kernel and hope that it didn't break nvidia as a couple people have said | 01:25 |
| luis__ | :) should I erase the older kernels? | 01:25 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: that's up to you... does everything work properly using the newest version? | 01:26 |
| luis__ | as far as I can tell... yes | 01:26 |
| ign0ramus | see Daisuke_Ido's comment ^ | 01:26 |
| luis__ | :) I did, but my nvidia seems to be working fine | 01:26 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i would always make sure to keep one kernel back just in case | 01:26 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: removing the old ones is as simple as opening Adept, searching for " linux-image " , and removing the older versions | 01:26 |
| ign0ramus | Daisuke_Ido: that | 01:26 |
| ign0ramus | 's always a good plan | 01:27 |
| luis__ | well then , I understand that that will not use too much space from my hadr drive | 01:27 |
| ign0ramus | (damn apostrophe key) | 01:27 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: space is not an issue with kernels. they are small | 01:27 |
| Daisuke_Ido | yep... they're not big, they aren't going to eat up all of your hard drive space, there's no harm in keeping one or even a couple back | 01:27 |
| luis__ | :) yes, that's what I meant to say, above all I was curious why those kernels apeared | 01:27 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: you can keep the kernel, but remove them from the start up screen so you don't see them, all while still havng them just in case | 01:28 |
| luis__ | ok how do I do that? | 01:28 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: just remove the entry from your menu.lst file | 01:28 |
| luis__ | alrigh, just that simple? | 01:28 |
| luis__ | very well | 01:28 |
| ign0ramus | make sure that line 15 says "default 0" | 01:29 |
| luis__ | thank you very much :) | 01:29 |
| ign0ramus | which yours already does | 01:29 |
| luis__ | why? | 01:29 |
| ign0ramus | so that GRUB will load the first entry in your menu.lst | 01:29 |
| luis__ | ahhh I see | 01:30 |
| ign0ramus | if you have a higher number (like 8), but you only have 2 entries, that's a problem | 01:30 |
| flaccid_ | or you can just put savedefault on the one you want as default | 01:30 |
| ign0ramus | flaccid_: also true. you can also use a chainloader, but just keeping the first one set as default is simple enough for this task ;) | 01:31 |
| luis__ | that's to chose the default booting option right? | 01:31 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: yup. you can change it to whatever you want. just remember that 0 is first, then 1, 2, so on | 01:31 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: i used to have Windows boot by default, until i was comfortable with kubuntu | 01:32 |
| luis__ | I see | 01:32 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: now its last on my list ;) | 01:32 |
| flaccid_ | ign0ramus, yes sir! | 01:33 |
| * ign0ramus raises a drink to flaccid_ | 01:33 | |
| luis__ | hehe, so , I can just coment using a " # " the extra kernels in the file menu.lst and they won't be displayed among the options any more right? | 01:33 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: | 01:33 |
| ign0ramus | yes | 01:33 |
| flaccid_ | ty.. too much coffee already | 01:33 |
| ign0ramus | not enough scotch here ;) | 01:34 |
| luis__ | thank you very much | 01:34 |
| luis__ | nor enough fernet here hehehe | 01:34 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: no problem. how do you think i learned? | 01:34 |
| flaccid_ | mmmm scotch | 01:34 |
| ign0ramus | on the rocks. little water. and a lemon twist. perfect for a warm night :) | 01:34 |
| luis__ | :) thanks I'll go ang get a lager now | 01:35 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: you from PA? | 01:35 |
| flaccid_ | just on the rocks thanks:) | 01:35 |
| ign0ramus | we're getting off-topic, but we just accomplished something, so we can celebrate, right? | 01:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that's twice that's happened now | 01:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | update, reboot, no dns | 01:36 |
| ign0ramus | Daisuke_Ido: wireless? | 01:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | nope | 01:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | wired, static ip | 01:36 |
| ign0ramus | Daisuke_Ido: because of the new kernel? | 01:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | most likely | 01:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that's about the only time i reboot | 01:36 |
| ign0ramus | Daisuke_Ido: :) | 01:36 |
| ign0ramus | ifconfig? | 01:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | oh, and xfce's panel decided not to show up, but that was easy enough to fix | 01:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ign0ramus: got it working :P | 01:37 |
| ign0ramus | haha | 01:37 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i'm here, aren't i? | 01:37 |
| ign0ramus | Daisuke_Ido: you use Xubuntu? | 01:37 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i do | 01:37 |
| Daisuke_Ido | (and kubuntu, and ubuntu) | 01:37 |
| ign0ramus | Daisuke_Ido: could be on another computer... (i've had to do that many times) :) | 01:37 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i'm desktop agnostic :) | 01:37 |
| ign0ramus | Daisuke_Ido: a wealth of knowledge, you are. | 01:37 |
| ign0ramus | haha | 01:37 |
| ign0ramus | Daisuke_Ido: so no preference? | 01:38 |
| BluesKaj | howdy | 01:38 |
| j0hnny | ok man now that i am not on kubuntu maybe i can figure this out | 01:38 |
| nosrednaekim | hey BluesKaj | 01:38 |
| j0hnny | u said before something about livecd | 01:38 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ign0ramus: i've grown to prefer xfce because it's lightweight | 01:38 |
| BluesKaj | hi nosrednaekim, Daisuke_Ido | 01:38 |
| Daisuke_Ido | greetings BluesKaj | 01:39 |
| ign0ramus | j0hnny: yeah... boot with livecd, run linux (dont install), and see if you're wireless works. | 01:39 |
| ign0ramus | *your wireless (that drives me nuts) | 01:39 |
| ign0ramus | Daisuke_Ido: i'm going to give it a try on an old eMachines that was donated to me | 01:39 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ign0ramus: depending on the specs, it should be a good fit | 01:40 |
| ign0ramus | Daisuke_Ido: it will provide all the music in my basement (party area) | 01:40 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i have a 633 that it just screamed on | 01:40 |
| j0hnny | is that on the i86 and the 64bit one | 01:40 |
| ign0ramus | Daisuke_Ido: pentium 4, 512mb, 80gb ide HDD | 01:40 |
| Daisuke_Ido | oh yeah, xubuntu would be fine there :) | 01:40 |
| ign0ramus | Daisuke_Ido: whoa, my old stuff isn't *that* old! ;) | 01:40 |
| Daisuke_Ido | plus it's a P4, so your basement will stay warm | 01:40 |
| ign0ramus | Daisuke_Ido: funny cause its true | 01:41 |
| BluesKaj | got a deal on a fax/printer , so I'm trying to network it. I should have known that it would be buggy ...Lexmark | 01:41 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ooh | 01:41 |
| ign0ramus | j0hnny: i86 (unless you have a 64bit) | 01:41 |
| j0hnny | i have the 64 bit its a turion64 | 01:41 |
| ign0ramus | blueskaj: that's why they're always a "deal" | 01:42 |
| BluesKaj | hehe, no kidding | 01:42 |
| ign0ramus | j0hnny: you can use 64bit then, but i think there's better support for i86... am i right guys? | 01:42 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj: i say that because i also have one. that i use for windows. | 01:42 |
| j0hnny | ok ill try that and be back | 01:43 |
| j0hnny | hopefully | 01:43 |
| Daisuke_Ido | x86 is more supported, and the better option unless you have 4+gb ram | 01:43 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj: really never felt like tweaking with it... plus i just use my work's printers and paper ;) | 01:43 |
| ign0ramus | j0hnny: there you go... use 32bit | 01:43 |
| j0hnny | k thanx | 01:43 |
| nosrednaekim | j0hnny: use i386 | 01:43 |
| BluesKaj | ign0ramus, i'm gonna set up wifeys old HP printer on this box so it's no biggie | 01:44 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj: I think you'll have better luck with the HP | 01:44 |
| BluesKaj | she needs the fax facility on her windows pc | 01:44 |
| luis__ | PA? I'm from Rosario Argentina | 01:45 |
| ign0ramus | luis__: well, drink one for me, Luis! | 01:45 |
| luis__ | :D thank you, sure I will | 01:45 |
| luis__ | where's PA anyway? | 01:46 |
| BluesKaj | ign0ramus, we were using the HP as a network printer without probs before ...I just thought I'd try to network the Lexmark for the fun of it . | 01:46 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj: fun? you like install Slax too, don't you? ;0 | 01:47 |
| BluesKaj | after hearing all the horror stories about the the incompatibility with linux | 01:47 |
| BluesKaj | I ran slackware for a while , is that the same | 01:48 |
| BluesKaj | ? | 01:48 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj: yeah. so you are a sadist! | 01:49 |
| BluesKaj | nooo | 01:49 |
| ign0ramus | you ran Slackware. You tinker with Lexmark on linux for fun. That is a sadist, my friend! | 01:50 |
| billyd | Or masochist | 01:50 |
| ign0ramus | billyd: i think you're correct. i always get them mixed up. but you get the idea. | 01:51 |
| ign0ramus | ok friends, i'm off to get more scotch. have a great night | 01:52 |

| elec | what realistic benefits am i gaining by moving from kde to gnome or even something like fluxbox? are there significant performance differences? | 02:01 |
| nosrednaekim | elec: none from moving to gnome | 02:01 |
| nosrednaekim | but to fluxbox, yes, very noticable depending on your hardware | 02:01 |
| engineer | elec yes | 02:01 |
| engineer | loss in productivity | 02:01 |
| elec | hehe | 02:01 |
| elec | i ask because im running kde on an hp2133, which runs very hot during periods of high cpu utilization and if changing my wm will clearly limit the heat i'll do it.. | 02:02 |
| engineer | try cleaning the fans with a hoover | 02:02 |
| engineer | still, kde4 is nicer on cpu | 02:03 |
| the-erm | Ya opening the case ... blowing it out. | 02:03 |
| elec | kde4 really failed for me, nothing seemed stable and everything that i wanted to customize was a pain | 02:03 |
| the-erm | I tried kde4, and ... somethings just didn't work quite right. | 02:03 |
| engineer | kde3 then | 02:03 |
| nosrednaekim | elec: oh..how is that little computer? | 02:03 |
| nosrednaekim | elec: yeah. I definately try xubuntu on it | 02:04 |
| elec | ya, the hp2133 is known to run hot, its probably cause they stuffed the shitty via c7m into it | 02:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | elec: welcome to kde4 | 02:04 |
| Daisuke_Ido | elec: things should improve greatly with the release of 4.1 | 02:04 |
| elec | i guess i could try xubuntu, just wish there was a site that compared performance between different window managers | 02:06 |
| flaccid_ | elec: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_Window_System_desktop_environments | 02:07 |
| Daisuke_Ido | elec: kde and gnome are about even as far as resources used. xfce is lightweight and quick, and from there you're getting into the niche WMs | 02:07 |

| brian88 | I installed Kubuntu from Windows, can I uninstall it if I don't like it? | 02:07 |
| nosrednaekim | brian88: using WUBI? yes | 02:07 |
| elec | fuck, flaccid_ awesome link! thanks | 02:07 |
| flaccid_ | np | 02:08 |
| flaccid_ | !language | elec | 02:08 |
| ubottu | elec: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 02:08 |
| brian88 | @nosrednaekim : Yes, Wubi, that one which appears when I put the Cd into my DVD drive. | 02:08 |
| brian88 | btw, I cannot install anything with Adept, Adept says that the database is locked, I don't have any running Adept or APT... | 02:09 |
| Tw|sT | I'm not sure if it's available on their site, but LNX magazine recently did a review and comparison of several light weight WMs | 02:10 |
| BluesKaj | brian88, do you have synaptic installed? | 02:11 |
| Tw|sT | unfortunately, LNX is a UK magazine, and while I can get it here in the USA, it's like $17 per issue, or $249 for 2 years | 02:11 |
| compilerwriter | Ladies and gents I need some clues as to where to begin. I, after the latest round of updates, now have my windows session getting stuck in the screensaver mode somehow. Where does one begin to troubleshoot? | 02:11 |
| brian88 | how to fix? | 02:11 |
| nosrednaekim | !aptfix | brian88 | 02:11 |
| ubottu | brian88: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 02:11 |
| Tw|sT | Now, I would say that that's totally outrageous, but it comes with a double sided DVD with all the current major distros in each issue, so it's kinda worthy. | 02:11 |
| flaccid_ | can anyone here ask someone in ##mac who i see to get unbanned. im banned for some reason | 02:11 |
| compilerwriter | nosrednaekim Where does one begin to debug an apparent screensaver freeze? | 02:12 |
| brian88 | @ubottu : thanks.. adept is working for me now, thanks | 02:12 |
| BluesKaj | flaccid , you need lawyers guns & money :) | 02:13 |
| nosrednaekim | compilerwriter: try just putting in the password even though you see no box | 02:13 |
| compilerwriter | flaccid they may find your handle objectionable. | 02:13 |
| Tw|sT | I was gonna say that | 02:14 |
| Tw|sT | ;) | 02:14 |
| compilerwriter | I will try that the next time nosrednaekim | 02:14 |
| flaccid_ | BluesKaj, i do heh | 02:14 |
| flaccid_ | my handle is soft.. | 02:14 |
| compilerwriter | nosrednaekim my mouse was still working but I could not bring up a menu or kicker or anything. Does that still fit in with your password theory? | 02:15 |
| mr--t | maybe too soft for a mac site | 02:15 |
| flaccid_ | well i make flaccidware.. | 02:16 |
| compilerwriter | flaccid_ you make limpware? | 02:16 |
| flaccid_ | limp != flaccid | 02:16 |
| Tw|sT | lol | 02:16 |
| flaccid_ | i think i got banned there because i was too intelligient for them | 02:17 |

| Tw|sT | what'd you say to them? | 02:17 |
| flaccid_ | dunno. it was a long long time ago. in that channel is so rarely people that know past the mac and its desktop.. | 02:18 |
| * Tw|sT has several Mac users at work that love to get Irate with tech support. | 02:18 | |
| Tw|sT | oh, that would explain it | 02:18 |
| Tw|sT | :) | 02:18 |
| Tw|sT | and I imagine most of them still use the default 'TCSH' shell | 02:19 |
| flaccid_ | well their OS is on unix now and they don't get a lot of stuff. it can be worse than windows because they are so used to the GUI and doing nothing else yet the OS does have a lot of caveats | 02:19 |
| flaccid_ | most of them don't use any shell | 02:19 |
| Tw|sT | first time I touched a newer Mac, I switched the default shell to bash | 02:19 |
| flaccid_ | you go in there for something requiring shell you never get help | 02:19 |
| * Tw|sT hated TCSH | 02:19 | |
| flaccid_ | the shell is not important its the userland that is | 02:19 |
| Tw|sT | ah | 02:20 |
| billyd | When I was just out the School of Allied Health Sciences, I knew a fellow who got involved with a company training Mac users. Said they were deceptively complex | 02:20 |
| Tw|sT | sounds to me like eventually, they'll wish they'd l;earned it | 02:20 |
| Tw|sT | The Macs? or the users? | 02:21 |
| theFATMAN | kubuntu needs to make a commercial like the mac and pc ones, but it would be complete ownage | 02:21 |
| Tw|sT | cause really, your right, either way | 02:21 |
| Tw|sT | search Youtube for Linux | 02:22 |
| Tw|sT | there are a series of Linux commercials, and they take from the Mac commercials, but they're put out by SuSE/Novell | 02:22 |
| Tw|sT | the chic in the commercials is kinda nice lookin' too | 02:22 |
| theFATMAN | lol, but have they been shown on national television | 02:23 |
| Tw|sT | Not sure... | 02:23 |
| billyd | I haven't seen them yet | 02:23 |
| Tw|sT | I know that IBM put out several Linux commercials that aired here in the US | 02:23 |
| theFATMAN | i missed em somehow | 02:24 |
| Tw|sT | I think all of those are on youtube | 02:24 |
| Tw|sT | including the IBM commercials for Linux | 02:25 |
| Tw|sT | also | 02:25 |
| theFATMAN | coolio | 02:25 |
| Tw|sT | they have a few really sweet vids of the compiz 3d desktop combined with a touch screen | 02:25 |
| Tw|sT | it's killer watchin' the person in the vid using their fingertips to rotate the 3D cube desktop | 02:26 |
| theFATMAN | yeah, those and the dual screen are what converted me to linux | 02:26 |
| Tw|sT | right | 02:26 |
| Tw|sT | :) | 02:26 |
| theFATMAN | 8) | 02:26 |
| Tw|sT | I'd used linux since 1997, but since compiz, I've been moving it more to the desktop | 02:26 |
| charlie5 | hi folks | 02:27 |
| theFATMAN | right on | 02:27 |
| charlie5 | any advice on a good linux package to do a complete system backup/restore easily ? | 02:27 |
| Tw|sT | mostly, I'd used linux servers in combination with Win32 AD & Exchange | 02:27 |
| charlie5 | or a way to make an install cd from an existing kubu OS (so the install duplicates the existing OS) ? | 02:27 |
| theFATMAN | i know a guy who used linux to run his firewall, no monitor | 02:27 |
| Tw|sT | speaking of backup software, does anyone know of an OSS alternative to Acronis? | 02:28 |
| theFATMAN | charlie5, you mean a backup or full on installation? | 02:28 |
| Tw|sT | we use Acronis at my work to back up our Linux systems ( as well as Backup Exec ), but they're both commercialware | 02:28 |
| theFATMAN | char, | 02:28 |
| charlie5 | theFATMAN: i have to install from feisty, and then upgrade to gustsy, then to hardy (since my cd won;t seem to handle the newer iso ?!) | 02:29 |
| Tw|sT | sounds like it's time for a new $80 DVDRW | 02:29 |
| Tw|sT | ;) | 02:29 |
| theFATMAN | charlie5, that doesnt make sense, bro | 02:29 |
| charlie5 | so i wonder if i can 'save' the nice fresh hardy upgrade, so if i have to re-install again, i won;t have to the the f0g0h upgrade cycle | 02:29 |
| Tw|sT | I had a similar issue on a recent install of Hardy, and once I replaced the drive, it was all good | 02:30 |
| JDStone | is there a how to on enabling and customizing compiz? | 02:30 |
| theFATMAN | charlie5, just back up your home folder and do a frsh install, m8 | 02:30 |
| charlie5 | theFATMAN: i know, but every cd i've burnt with gutsy or hardy, give some sort of squashfs error :/ | 02:30 |
| theFATMAN | !compiz | 02:30 |
| ubottu | 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 | 02:30 |
| thompa | i want koffice4 , how do i install the koffice workspace for 4 | 02:31 |
| theFATMAN | charlie5, do a usb flash install | 02:31 |
| theFATMAN | then check yo stuff for errors, lol | 02:31 |
| charlie5 | heh, thanks ... but, no flash here ;) | 02:31 |
| theFATMAN | charlie5, hmmm | 02:32 |
| Tw|sT | speaking of which, does anyone know of a good very-small-formfactor motherboard that works good with a Compact Flash drives? I've been wanting to play around with DD-WRT on an x86 | 02:32 |
| theFATMAN | !squashfs | 02:32 |
| ubottu | Factoid squashfs not found | 02:32 |
| theFATMAN | doh | 02:32 |
| thompa | is there same koffice work space for kde4? | 02:32 |
| Tw|sT | I did manage to find a CF-to-SATA adapter, so I might go with that, but I need a really good motherboard that will not generate a lot of heat, but will run as an embedded platform indefinitely | 02:33 |
| theFATMAN | check newegg | 02:33 |
| Tw|sT | I'd like to find one thats about the size of a Thin-Client PC too, so I could start building Kubuntu based Mini PCs that will hook to HDTVs | 02:34 |
| Tw|sT | right on, good suggestion | 02:34 |
| Tw|sT | I'll check em out. | 02:34 |
| theFATMAN | 8.) | 02:34 |
| theFATMAN | 8o) | 02:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Tw|sT: pick up a dozen Eeeboxes or so | 02:35 |
| theFATMAN | yeah | 02:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | have you seen them? they're beautiful | 02:35 |
| Tw|sT | not yet, but I'll run a search on that now | 02:35 |
| charlie5 | hok, it seems i can copy the system files to a spare partition, and restore by copying them back ... not pretty, but if it works, it'll do me :) ... cheers theFATMAN, thanks for the assist | 02:35 |
| Tw|sT | oh wow! I like that! | 02:35 |
| Tw|sT | that's perfect, infact | 02:36 |
| Tw|sT | hery | 02:36 |
| Tw|sT | err | 02:36 |
| Tw|sT | charlie5: | 02:36 |
| Tw|sT | make sure to Tarboall the directories, so that it doesn't kill the permissions | 02:36 |
| Tw|sT | that's the one sure-fire way to preserve them all | 02:36 |
| Daisuke_Ido | http://www.p2pnet.net/story/16047 | 02:37 |
| Daisuke_Ido | that model right there, the black one, is exactly what i need - and they're retailing at $299 for the highest-spec'd machine | 02:37 |
| charlie5 | thanks Tw|sT ... i was going to cp -fpr does that not work in all cases ? | 02:37 |
| theFATMAN | peace...i'll check you guys l8ter | 02:41 |
| === Jean-Philippe is now known as Jean-Philippe_ | ||
| === jeff_ is now known as jeff_123 | ||
| Tw|sT | charlie5 : cp -fpr? do you have a URL with info on that? | 02:52 |
| Tw|sT | btw, I really like the looks of that Asus Ebox. Very nice! :) | 02:52 |
| Tw|sT | looks like it releases this fall. For only $300 a pop, I may very well pick up several of those. Once customized a bit, I bet they'd make for a really nice cluster platform... just might have to add a 2nd NIC. | 02:53 |
| charlie5 | Tw|sT: you can get docs with man cp | 02:53 |
| Tw|sT | ah | 02:53 |
| Tw|sT | ok | 02:53 |
| Tw|sT | you meant the unix command... | 02:54 |
| charlie5 | (it's a built-in bash copmmand, i think) | 02:54 |
| Tw|sT | sorry | 02:54 |
| Tw|sT | umm... | 02:54 |
| charlie5 | heh, np | 02:54 |
| Tw|sT | well... | 02:54 |
| Tw|sT | I imagine it would work | 02:54 |
| charlie5 | as i said, not pretty :) | 02:54 |
| charlie5 | but simple enuff for me | 02:54 |
| Tw|sT | though, I can't remember where I read it... it's been years ago now, but they basically recommended using tar instead so that this way it would preserve all permissions as well as store the backup in a compacted state. | 02:55 |
| Tw|sT | I use that to backup my websites & databases | 02:56 |
| flaccid_ | rsync and tar are shiz :) | 02:56 |
| Tw|sT | and, it's pretty simple to do that way | 02:56 |
| Tw|sT | yup | 02:56 |
| Tw|sT | :) | 02:56 |
| flaccid_ | i mean they are the shiz! | 02:56 |
| Tw|sT | yeah, they really are! | 02:56 |
| Tw|sT | now, personally, I use Samba to connect my linux boxes over to my win2K3 based file server, so I forego the steps of working with rsync, but that's easily just as effective if not more so, if you have an all *nix network. | 02:58 |
| flaccid_ | thats not quite the intention of rsync and yeah you don't rsync with non unix | 02:59 |
| Tw|sT | Now, if I had a tape backup system, I'd probably go a totally different way | 02:59 |
| Tw|sT | right | 02:59 |
| andyho623 | ok this might sound totally retarded, but can someone point me in the direction of moving junk from my home folder to a usb drive through the terminal? | 02:59 |
| Tw|sT | it's available out there now, but the implementation of rsync for Win32 that I saw, looked very flaky | 02:59 |
| flaccid_ | well actually you can, so i'll correct myself. the author of rsync is also an author of samba :) | 02:59 |
| flaccid_ | Tw|sT, yeah tar is tape archive :) rsync for syncing fs/files between systems (and on high latency) | 03:00 |
| Tw|sT | right. you can combine that with Amanda Tape Backup | 03:00 |
| Tw|sT | I think | 03:01 |
| Tw|sT | or is that what Amanda uses natively? | 03:01 |
| Tw|sT | I've never used Amanda myself, since at my work where we have production linux systems, we use Backup Exec for unix to back up those servers to a 80TB HP EVA-SAN. | 03:02 |
| flaccid_ | not sure about amanda | 03:02 |
| Tw|sT | based on the age of Amanda, it probably does use tar | 03:02 |
| Tw|sT | it was around back when I first started using Linux in the late 90s | 03:02 |
| Tw|sT | I think it used to be packaged with RH6 and up | 03:03 |
| Tw|sT | it's funny how things work out though... I started with Debian, went to RH, then Mandrake, then back to RH, then Fedora, then back to Debian, and now I use Kubuntu mostly (which is a Debian variant). To me, Kubuntu/Ubuntu are a testimony to how developed Linux has become. | 03:05 |
| Tw|sT | especially the 64bit build | 03:06 |
| Tw|sT | I use Gutzy x64 on my chat server, and it's rock solid. | 03:06 |
| Tw|sT | and fast too! | 03:06 |

| willluongo | Hello I am having problems installing Codeblocks 8.02 on Kubuntu hardy. I can't get the deb to install the packages. Any suggestions? | 03:19 |
| NickPresta | willluongo, what problems do you encounter when installing the deb file? | 03:20 |
| === micheal is now known as PhoenixGI | ||
| willluongo | Well, it brings up the package installer, but then when I click install package, it just restarts the package installer | 03:22 |
| NickPresta | willluongo, open up a Konsole (Alt + F2, type in konsole) | 03:22 |
| willluongo | ok | 03:22 |
| NickPresta | and install the package like this: "sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb" without the quotes. Obviously replace /path/to/file.deb with the actual file | 03:23 |
| willluongo | Ok I'll try it | 03:23 |
| NickPresta | If there is an error, it should produce output and we need to see it. You can pastebin it. | 03:23 |
| NickPresta | !pastebin | willluongo | 03:23 |
| ubottu | willluongo: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 03:23 |
| PhoenixGI | Hello | 03:24 |
| willluongo | NickPresto: That got it, thank you so much! | 03:25 |
| flaccid- | logitech just removed my post on their forum to write drivers for their webcams that don't have drivers | 03:25 |
| NickPresta | willluongo, congratulations! :) | 03:25 |
| NickPresta | hi, PhoenixGI | 03:25 |
| NickPresta | flaccid-, they sound like Creative almost. | 03:26 |
| flaccid- | they are full of it like most companies. going open source for these companies means looking like you support it with no investment of dev or support | 03:28 |
| NickPresta | its a shame too. in the future, these companies either need to put out or find new customers | 03:29 |
| flaccid- | well its a shame because the company the webcam company that supports linux properly and promotes it will get a lot of sales | 03:31 |
| moshe | have you tried philips webcams? or logitech? I get good resulte in kopete with both | 03:32 |
| flaccid- | the thing is NickPresta this dude from logitech claimed that the uvc driver works perfectly! | 03:33 |
| flaccid- | moshe, yes i have. and a lot of the cams in logitech, creative etc. are philips. but the range of different cam devices is much larger.. | 03:33 |
| moshe | that is true. I use a logitech quikcam and a generic phillips with excellent results. other cams work to lesser degrees but you are correct. The company that releases their code to open source first will stand to make a killing | 03:35 |
| flaccid- | well have a look at http://www.quickcamteam.net/hcl/linux/logitech-webcams | 03:36 |
| flaccid- | he claims the uvc driver works perfectly on these models, it doesnt and google can verify that | 03:36 |
| === boxer_ is now known as boxer- | ||
| moshe | I still think it is hit and miss between models for now.logitech still has a ways to go | 03:37 |
| flaccid- | he also says that non-uvc models are irrelevant now. yet that is heaps of models. forcing people to buy a new webcam.. | 03:37 |
| NickPresta | flaccid-, sounds like Vista syndrome | 03:37 |
| flaccid- | moshe, i was just speaking to head of engineering team at logitech.. | 03:37 |
| moshe | again, correct but remember the webcam issue is alot like the video board issue for now | 03:38 |
| Jucato | ---> #kubuntu-offtopic | 03:38 |
| flaccid- | its many things and very frustrating. the raising popularity of linux means most companies getting into it are doing it wrong and still dont' care about it or put in resources | 03:38 |
| flaccid- | fair enough Jucato . its quite ontopic because a lot of people use logitech webcams on kubuntu or at least try to :) | 03:39 |
| moshe | hopefully, that will change soon. With dell and several others throwing their hats in the ring for linux, it's only a matter of time | 03:39 |
| Jucato | flaccid-: close. but you're already talking about the company rather than how to get it work in Kubuntu | 03:39 |
| flaccid- | im talking about the problems why it doesn't work on kubuntu | 03:40 |
| moshe | Jucato, I am not a very good programmer at the present but I am willing to help in any way I can. I want to see seamless functionality with linux and the hardware vendors but until that time comes, I am happy to have this OS to work with | 03:41 |
| shadowbox | hey folks | 03:45 |
| NickPresta | hi shadowbox | 03:46 |
| shadowbox | I need your ideas | 03:46 |
| PhoenixGI | Hello Shadowbox | 03:46 |
| PhoenixGI | Go with the greenish one | 03:46 |
| shadowbox | and suggestions maybe both | 03:46 |
| shadowbox | ok will do | 03:46 |
| shadowbox | :o) | 03:46 |
| PhoenixGI | hehe | 03:46 |
| PhoenixGI | Course I have no idea what your talking about, soooooo... might not be the best idea or suggestion | 03:47 |
| shadowbox | I am starting a web site that advertizes kubuntu as the Windows alternative | 03:47 |
| desmond | put links to DRM and badvista | 03:48 |
| desmond | example | 03:48 |
| desmond | blog.nixternal.com | 03:48 |
| shadowbox | I 'have' to sell windoze as well, BUT I want to push Kubuntu louder than I am | 03:48 |
| desmond | ? | 03:48 |
| desmond | what do you mean | 03:48 |
| desmond | i "have: | 03:49 |
| desmond | no you dont | 03:49 |
| shadowbox | www.bytemecomputers.net | 03:49 |
| desmond | that your site? | 03:50 |
| shadowbox | I have a store front as well, but my display PC's have Kubuntu | 03:50 |
| shadowbox | yeah | 03:50 |
| shadowbox | it just went up | 03:50 |
| desmond | that clear acrylic blue illiminated keybored | 03:50 |
| desmond | is pimp | 03:50 |
| shadowbox | and I am putting new stuff on it as fast as I can | 03:50 |
| shadowbox | lol aint it though? | 03:50 |
| desmond | it is | 03:50 |
| desmond | how many you have? | 03:51 |
| desmond | like 1? | 03:51 |
| shadowbox | I am typing on the clear one now (but not the illuminated one) | 03:51 |
| PhoenixGI | Hmmm speaking of windows, and Kubuntu play .wmv files... what would I need to install (yes showing my new to linux self here) | 03:51 |
| desmond | ok | 03:51 |
| coreymon77 | !wmv | 03:51 |

| coreymon77 | look there | 03:52 |
| PhoenixGI | Thanks coreymon77 | 03:52 |
| shadowbox | I am putting a kubuntu media PC on display as well | 03:53 |
| desmond | if your selling kubuntu | 03:53 |
| shadowbox | with a 32" visio HD TV | 03:53 |
| desmond | or pushing it or waht ever | 03:53 |
| desmond | for the blue keybored | 03:53 |
| PhoenixGI | Ouch... that's all that I have to do... *sigh* should have googled first | 03:53 |
| shadowbox | with Myth TV | 03:53 |
| desmond | you dont have linux as compatable with it | 03:53 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: yup, linux isnt as hard as people make it out to be | 03:53 |
| shadowbox | desmond: what do you mean? | 03:54 |
| Daisuke_Ido | desmond: sure he does | 03:54 |
| desmond | look at the details | 03:55 |
| Daisuke_Ido | "or above" | 03:55 |
| Daisuke_Ido | :D | 03:55 |
| desmond | haha | 03:55 |
| desmond | true | 03:55 |
| desmond | but non linux people arent going to notice that | 03:55 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: tip to find something out for linux | 03:55 |
| PhoenixGI | hehe coreymon77 takes some getting used to though... was fighting with nVidia Drivers most of the day. | 03:55 |
| desmond | put a ! infront of what you want | 03:55 |
| desmond | !help | 03:55 |
| ubottu | I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) | 03:55 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: 1. apt-cache search it 2. google/wikipedia are your friends | 03:55 |
| shadowbox | desmond: check out the clear speakers in the sound section | 03:58 |
| PhoenixGI | looking up Apt-cache now | 03:58 |
| shadowbox | see it? | 04:01 |
| desmond | hold on | 04:01 |
| shadowbox | k | 04:02 |
| coreymon77 | !apt | PhoenixGI | 04:02 |
| ubottu | PhoenixGI: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 04:02 |
| Giskard_Reventlo | Hi. Do the kubuntu kernels have inotify enabled/Installed by default? | 04:03 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: apt-cache search [keyword] in terminal searches for apt packages for that keyword | 04:03 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: sudo apt-get install [package name] installs them | 04:04 |
| PhoenixGI | Sorry, was busy reading, and taking notes | 04:04 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: you can also use adept if you rather it graphical | 04:04 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: although personally, i like command line apt much better | 04:04 |
| coreymon77 | adept can crash, and then things mess up | 04:04 |
| PhoenixGI | coreymon77 yeah, ran accross that one today also | 04:05 |
| desmond | haha | 04:05 |
| coreymon77 | that why i prefer cli apt | 04:05 |
| coreymon77 | less to crash | 04:06 |
| PhoenixGI | Have also come to realize, that remix should come with a warning "Not for the new" but then again, I do have it up and running and seems pretty stable | 04:06 |
| === fale_ is now known as fale | ||
| PhoenixGI | Coreymon77 some dpkg command, that I forgot to jot down so I better go look for it again, saved me when Adept died half way though the updates it grabed today | 04:08 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a you talking this command? | 04:09 |
| PhoenixGI | ahh, here it is dpkg--configure -a | 04:09 |
| PhoenixGI | yeah | 04:10 |
| coreymon77 | learn your way around command line apt | 04:10 |
| coreymon77 | you'll be much better off | 04:11 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: and if remix did have a warning, its wouldnt be "not for the new" | 04:11 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: it would be more like "noobs stay away!" | 04:11 |
| coreymon77 | :P | 04:12 |
| PhoenixGI | Coreymon77 hehe yeah that was my origianal statment, but I got yelled at on some other IRC channel one day for calling myself a noob in such a derogitory way | 04:12 |
| boaz | My KDE4 8.04 AMD64 system locked up, and I had to reboot. Now when I start the system I get an error message: "Malformed URL system:/" Is there any way to fix this? | 04:13 |
| PhoenixGI | coreymon77 since I didn't know if it was a "banned" word here I re-worded it | 04:13 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: those are the politically correct channels | 04:13 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: you can call yourself a noob as much as you want | 04:13 |
| PhoenixGI | coreymon77 cool, truth may hurt sometimes... but its still the truth :) | 04:14 |
| coreymon77 | yup | 04:14 |
| coreymon77 | and the truth is | 04:14 |
| coreymon77 | everyone, including me, once started out as a noob | 04:14 |
| coreymon77 | as a little scared noobert affraid to ask for help | 04:15 |
| coreymon77 | and now look at me, im the one giving the help | 04:15 |
| coreymon77 | youll learn | 04:15 |
| coreymon77 | just dont be affraid to ask for help | 04:15 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: okay? | 04:18 |
| PhoenixGI | coreymon77 I do try to look things up first usally, just so you know. Just the whole wmv thing was me being tired of google after the whole Adept lockup - wouldn't let me install anything new incident. Good practice though | 04:18 |

| coreymon77 | thats all | 04:18 |
| coreymon77 | but check out apt and google first | 04:18 |
| PhoenixGI | coreymon77 cool thing... sorry if I'm a little slow responding, reading up on Keep. A good backup program is probably a good idea for me | 04:19 |

| navetz | does scp work over ftp? | 04:24 |
| navetz | how can I do something like scp over ftp, is it possible? | 04:24 |
| PhoenixGI | SFTP | 04:25 |
| PhoenixGI | Technical something different then SCP but it's Secure FTP | 04:26 |
| navetz | PhoenixGI: my remote server only has ftp | 04:28 |
| PhoenixGI | navetz Not much you can do then | 04:29 |
| navetz | PhoenixGI: :( | 04:29 |
| syazdani | Hi! I'm trying to install a parallel printer, and I'm very confused. | 04:29 |
| flaccid- | upgrade the server | 04:29 |
| flaccid- | or replace it :) | 04:30 |
| PhoenixGI | hehe yeah there's always that choice :) | 04:30 |
| syazdani | Hi! I'm trying to install a parallel printer, and I'm very confused. In the print wizard, the local printers are grayed out. | 04:32 |
| navetz | haha, I don't wanna pay more for hosting. | 04:32 |
| flaccid- | my nas supports only ftp and samba + the http web gui: no secure protocol, quite pathetic - linksys nas200 | 04:32 |
| flaccid- | navetz, oh you shouldn't have to pay more. a good host provides sftp | 04:32 |
| flaccid- | navetz_, oh you shouldn't have to pay more. a good host provides sftp | 04:33 |
| navetz_ | godaddy doesn't provide sftp, but they are pretty good for the price. | 04:34 |
| syazdani | Hi! I'm trying to install a parallel printer, and I'm very confused. In the print wizard, the local printers are grayed out. (appologies if you are getting this twice) | 04:35 |
| flaccid- | godaddy is not a good host and for the same price you should be able to find sftp | 04:35 |
| flaccid- | syazdani, don't repeat | 04:35 |
| syazdani | flaccid, alright, so the previous one made it through. :) sorry, I got a message about registering, and I wasn't sure if my first (and second) msges made it through. | 04:36 |
| syazdani | sorry about that though. | 04:36 |

| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: hp printer? | 04:41 |
| PhoenixGI | coreymon77 ?? | 04:41 |
| coreymon77 | oh, whoops, wrog person | 04:41 |
| coreymon77 | syazdani: hp printer? | 04:42 |
| syazdani | coreymon77: no, it's a canon. | 04:42 |
| coreymon77 | oh | 04:42 |
| coreymon77 | that makes it harder | 04:42 |
| coreymon77 | !canon | 04:42 |
| ubottu | Factoid canon not found | 04:42 |
| coreymon77 | !printer | 04:42 |
| ubottu | Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 04:42 |
| PhoenixGI | Ahh, ok, no problem... lol funny thing is, that is next on my list to get set up. I was looking for the mind reading interface with KDE | 04:42 |
| syazdani | coreymon77: I can't install any printers using kubuntu's printer wizard | 04:42 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: do you have an hp printer | 04:43 |
| coreymon77 | ? | 04:43 |
| flaccid- | syazdani, how did you go checking those links? | 04:43 |
| PhoenixGI | Coreymon77 actually yes, was about to click on system -> hp printer toolbox | 04:44 |
| syazdani | flaccid: I'm installing gnome's printer wizard now, becuase the instructions there are from gnome system. | 04:44 |
| flaccid- | syazdani, you might also want to try running it under kdesudo | 04:44 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: yuppers | 04:44 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: thats the best way | 04:44 |
| flaccid- | syazdani, no need | 04:44 |
| syazdani | hmm, wait, I don't understand. | 04:44 |
| syazdani | if you go to kde's printer wizard, do you actually have the option of adding a local printer? | 04:45 |
| syazdani | because I don't. | 04:45 |
| syazdani | That seems independant of the type of the printer. | 04:45 |
| flaccid- | syazdani, sorry which kde version and what model canon printer? | 04:45 |
| shaffy | can anyone point me in the right direction for setting up a dual-monitor system on my kde3 8.04 kubuntu box? | 04:45 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: hp printers are a piece of cake | 04:46 |
| syazdani | I guess it is kde 3.5.8 | 04:46 |
| syazdani | again, even if I had a nice hp printer, the kde printer wizard doesn't even give me a chance to add a local printer. | 04:46 |
| flaccid- | syazdani, one sec, looks like this could be any issue | 04:47 |
| flaccid- | any=a | 04:47 |
| coreymon77 | syazdani: hp printers have their own setup utility | 04:47 |
| flaccid- | problem is kde here | 04:47 |
| coreymon77 | syazdani: what canon printer are we talking here? | 04:47 |
| coreymon77 | syazdani: model? | 04:47 |
| syazdani | It is an lbp-465. The support should be non-existent to be honest. | 04:48 |
| syazdani | but I was trying to give it a try. | 04:48 |
| flaccid- | syazdani, ok run kdesudo system-config-printer-kde | 04:48 |
| flaccid- | syazdani, does seem to a known problem. Riddell suggested that as per https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2008-March/026220.html | 04:48 |
| coreymon77 | syazdani: yup, nonexistant, sorry | 04:49 |
| syazdani | right, I just installed that program. | 04:49 |
| flaccid- | syazdani, give it a shot? | 04:49 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: everything working fine for you? | 04:50 |
| PhoenixGI | coreymon77 printing test page now | 04:50 |
| syazdani | hmm, although the program system-config-printer-gnome is not in the repository, | 04:50 |
| syazdani | I installed system-config-printer instead, | 04:51 |
| coreymon77 | PhoenixGI: told you hp was easy | 04:51 |
| flaccid- | syazdani, you should use system-config-printer-kde . but hey any of this is fine :) | 04:51 |
| PhoenixGI | Coreymon77 ROFL, It even tells me what the part number for the ink cartridge is.. | 04:51 |
| syazdani | flaccid: that doesn't exist in my repository either. | 04:51 |
| shaffy | can anyone point me in the right direction for setting up a dual-monitor system on my kde3 8.04 kubuntu box? | 04:51 |

| flaccid- | shaffy, dual is not easy yet because of vendors, most people can't help or willing to spend time. try google | 04:53 |

| flaccid- | syazdani, i never asked you to install it. run it. its there already... | 04:55 |

| flaccid- | well randr - http://www.x.org/wiki/Projects/XRandR | 04:55 |
| syazdani | flaccid: you want me to run system-config-printer-kde? | 04:55 |
| flaccid- | thats what i said initially yes | 04:56 |
| syazdani | I get command not found. :( | 04:56 |
| flaccid- | <flaccid-> syazdani, ok run kdesudo system-config-printer-kde | 04:56 |

| syazdani | output of sudo.... : sudo: system-config-printer-kde: command not found | 04:57 |
| syazdani | I tried with kdesudo, and I got a dialog saying command not found. | 04:58 |
| syazdani | I am running gutsy. | 04:58 |
| syazdani | for the record. | 04:58 |
| shaffy | flaccid-: thanks :) too bad it's so difficult to get it working. | 04:58 |
| flaccid- | syazdani, ok its not in gutsy so use one of the other ones | 04:58 |
| flaccid- | shaffy, not much difficulty here. wouldn't be difficult if there was a manual for kubuntu :) | 04:59 |
| syazdani | alright. I'll upgrade to the new version. I will try it again tomorrow. | 04:59 |
| syazdani | thanks flaccid, and coreymon77 | 04:59 |
| coreymon77 | no problemo | 04:59 |
| flaccid- | syazdani, you aint got any of those? should i check? | 04:59 |
| syazdani | flaccid: what do you mean? | 04:59 |
| flaccid- | you have no system-config-printer* programs at all? | 05:00 |
| syazdani | those commands? No. I only have system-config-printer, which I installed just now. | 05:00 |

| flaccid- | yep you are right. the gnome and kde didn't come till after gutsy. see how you go with it and/or do the upgrade. fyi: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=system-config-printer | 05:01 |
| coreymon77 | anyways | 05:02 |
| coreymon77 | time to go to bed now | 05:02 |
| flaccid- | shaffy, it can be but usually not. it also depends on the driver you are using. if you use vesa or intel its pretty good but the restricted stuff is not straight forward, however in theory it should be. | 05:02 |
| coreymon77 | exam tomorrow | 05:02 |
| PhoenixGI | Night Coreymon77, thanks for the help | 05:02 |
| flaccid- | ok time for lunch | 05:02 |
| flaccid- | i gtg | 05:02 |
| syazdani | good luck coreymon. Thanks again. | 05:02 |
| coreymon77 | no problemo | 05:02 |
| syazdani | have fun. | 05:02 |

| * mr--t though it would be in setting too | 06:03 | |

| mr--t | did that | 06:04 |

| * Jucato is not sure what IRC client does that though | 06:05 | |
| ubunturos | hey Jucato | 06:05 |
| greendingbat | mr--t: like mIRC | 06:05 |
| mr--t | yes i'm using kopete now but more fits on the screen with konvi | 06:06 |
| Jucato | there is no IRC in kopete for kde4 btw | 06:06 |
| greendingbat | mr--t: kopete is a messenger, konvi is an IRC client | 06:06 |
| maitredesloups | Hello everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 06:06 |
| mr--t | sorry but this is kopete | 06:06 |
| greendingbat | mr--t: really? | 06:07 |
| Jucato | greendingbat: in KDE 3, Kopete has IRC support | 06:07 |
| greendingbat | how does that work? | 06:07 |
| Jucato | but not in KDE 4 (yet) | 06:07 |
| mr--t | yes | 06:07 |
| Jucato | greendingbat: very wierdly :) | 06:07 |
| Jucato | weirdly* | 06:07 |
| greendingbat | ah, i must be using KDE 4 | 06:07 |
| greendingbat | yeah, that is wierd | 06:07 |
| greendingbat | it's like a regression | 06:07 |
| mr--t | i'm using a hybid of 3 and 4 | 06:07 |
| Jucato | no. I meant that their IRC support is sub-optimal imho | 06:07 |
| moshe | there is much wierdness here! | 06:08 |
| Jucato | as for IRC in Kopete KDE 4, it's probably still being ported | 06:08 |
| Jucato | (Kopete 0.50.80 is the one for KDE 4) | 06:08 |
| mr--t | i gues because this is the first i saw it's why i like it | 06:08 |
| mr--t | i was told that konversation was better | 06:08 |
| Jucato | for IRC? yes | 06:09 |
| mr--t | but noone could tell me why | 06:09 |
| Jucato | it's a dedicated, no nonsense (no fancy stuff) IRC client | 06:09 |
| mr--t | i think i like the fancy stuff | 06:09 |
| Jucato | it's purpose is to be an IRC client. Kopete is a multi-protocol messenger app. IRC is just an afterthought | 06:10 |
| Jucato | mr--t: you like broken themes then :) | 06:10 |
| greendingbat | mr--t: the fancy stuff of kopete or konvi? | 06:10 |
| mr--t | kopete | 06:10 |
| Jucato | (kopete's theming is horribly broken) | 06:10 |
| * greendingbat agrees | 06:10 | |
| mr--t | what do you mean by broken | 06:11 |
| greendingbat | but, if IRC was an afterthought, then it must not work as well | 06:11 |
| Jucato | mr--t: Kopete themes don't work well. Kopete doesn't work well with the global KDE themes | 06:11 |
| mr--t | i like how it prints out on like bar paper and everyone gets thier own header | 06:12 |
| mr--t | so far so good for me | 06:12 |
| Jucato | fancy theming is the one thing Konversation won't have (design decision, technical considerations, etc.). of course you can still have different colors and all. but... | 06:13 |
| mr--t | but after using this it seems all smushed together | 06:14 |
| * mr--t wonders if they realize hes still a chat noob | 06:15 | |
| Jucatwo | it was quite obvious. :) | 06:15 |
| Jucatwo | this is me on Kopete :P | 06:15 |
| Odd-rationale | konversation is a really good irc client. | 06:16 |
| mr--t | friends don't let friends use kopete | 06:16 |
| Odd-rationale | but i wanted somthing to use with screen, so i found weechat | 06:16 |
| Jucatwo | konversation + miau = <3 | 06:17 |
| mr--t | Jucatwo: what | 06:17 |
| Odd-rationale | brb, gotta reboot | 06:17 |
| Jucatwo | miau is an IRC proxy/bouncer | 06:17 |
| Jucatwo | ew... Kopete doesn't even have an auto-join list :P | 06:18 |
| mr--t | a what | 06:19 |
| Jucatwo | mr--t: auto-join. for example, when you connect to a server (like irc.ubuntu.com), you will automatically enter into some channels you specify | 06:20 |
| mr--t | you can do that in kopete | 06:20 |
| Jucatwo | where? | 06:20 |
| mr--t | iv'e seen it in the settings somwhere | 06:21 |
| Jucatwo | mr--t: you can run commands once you're connected, so you can put there /join #kubuntu,#kde,etc etc. | 06:22 |
| Jucatwo | but that's hardly a real auto-join feature :) | 06:22 |
| Votaguz | How i can turn on AutoComplete on Konsole ? I'm in KDE4 | 06:22 |
| Jucatwo | Votaguz: press Tab? | 06:23 |

| EIPhiGam | Hello everyone, I've got a question if anyone would like to answer! :D | 06:24 |
| Votaguz | yes Jucato | 06:25 |
| Jucato | !anyone | Electric1etchup | 06:25 |
| ubottu | Electric1etchup: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 06:25 |
| Votaguz | Jucato: i try autocomplete files names on mi system but it's not work, | 06:25 |
| Jucato | Votaguz: how are you trying to do it? | 06:26 |
| EIPhiGam | Well, I booted up from the Kubuntu install CD, and I saw the Kubuntu logo, etc, everything loaded, then it goes blank adn my monitor gives me an "Out of Range" error. I'm guessing the default Resolution doesn't fit my monitor, but I'm not sure how to fix this. | 06:26 |
| Jucato | er. sorry Electric1etchup. misdirected factoid | 06:26 |
| Jucato | EIPhiGam: have you tried booting into "Safe graphics mode"? | 06:26 |
| EIPhiGam | Jucato: I'm not sure how to do that from the CD's boot menu. | 06:26 |
| Votaguz | ok look, i want to uncompress a tar file, i type: " tar xzvf e [TAB] " But it's not work | 06:27 |
| Jucato | EIPhiGam: there should be a menu entry there in the boot menu | 06:27 |
| Jucato | Votaguz: what's the "e" for? and is it a .tar.gz or .tgz file? | 06:27 |
| Votaguz | I expect that it show me emailnotify.tar.gz | 06:27 |
| Jucato | aaah | 06:27 |
| EIPhiGam | Jucato: I see it, F4 for safe graphics mode. I'll see if that helps and let you know, I'm booting on my other PC, so shouldn't take long. | 06:28 |
| Jucato | Votaguz: did you put a space after 'e' before pressing tab? | 06:28 |
| Votaguz | And i have activated in my bash_bashrc autocompletion | 06:28 |
| Votaguz | no Jucato | 06:28 |
| Jucato | Votaguz: double check that you are in the correct directory where the tarball is and that it's named exactly emailnotify.tar.gz (or at least starts with an e) | 06:29 |
| Votaguz | just after 'e" | 06:29 |
| Votaguz | Ok Jucato Thanks | 06:30 |

| * mr--t xd | 06:30 | |

| EIPhiGam | Oh. xD | 06:35 |
| fulat2k | EIPhiGam: what do u mean by | 06:36 |
| fulat2k | EIPhiGam: compatible? i'm using it everyday with kubuntu | 06:36 |
| EIPhiGam | fulat2k: Well, Kubuntu isn't recognizing my wireless device. | 06:36 |
| mr--t | what chipset | 06:36 |
| micahcowan | EIPhiGam, anything that runs on Ubuntu can run on Kubuntu, no problem. The difference is in the default selection of packages installed, and really nothing more. | 06:36 |
| EIPhiGam | Ah, I see. | 06:37 |
| EIPhiGam | I've previously dabbled with Kubuntu, I'm pretty new to Linux, but I want to learn. | 06:37 |
| EIPhiGam | ubuntu* | 06:37 |
| micahcowan | Installing firefox, pidgin, will involve pulling in the GTK+ framework as well... but there are so many useful KDE and Gnome apps, you'd end up with both GUI frameworks anyway, I think. | 06:37 |
| flaccid__ | !wireless | EIPhiGam | 06:37 |
| ubottu | EIPhiGam: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:37 |
| moshe | hope it's not broadcom!!!!! | 06:38 |
| EIPhiGam | What is Broadcom? | 06:38 |
| micahcowan | EIPhiGam, a manufacturer of wireless cards/chipsets. | 06:38 |
| moshe | the wireless chipset. most work ok but broadcom chipsets are problematic | 06:39 |
| EIPhiGam | Oh, no, it's a Netgear USB device, is that even worse? | 06:39 |
| EIPhiGam | Haha | 06:39 |
| micahcowan | They tend not to have good support, and you wind up needing to use ndiswrapper (an interface between the Linux kernel, and Windows drivers). | 06:39 |
| micahcowan | That's probably better... but I'm guessing. | 06:39 |
| flaccid__ | netgear can be ok. check the link above | 06:39 |
| moshe | yep.netgear,d-link and linksys seem to work ok for me | 06:40 |
| EIPhiGam | Oh no, my device isnt supported. :( | 06:40 |
| flaccid__ | model? | 06:40 |
| EIPhiGam | WPN111 | 06:41 |
| flaccid__ | did you google for ubuntu/linux support of that model? | 06:41 |
| EIPhiGam | It wasn't on the support page, but I s'pose not everything is, just a sec. | 06:41 |
| flaccid__ | yeah after checking wiki/forums then go on to google | 06:42 |
| flaccid__ | solution is here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/getting-netgear-wireless-usb-dongle-wpn111-atheros-chipset-to-work-on-ubuntu-6.06-515914/ looks like an atheros chip and there is info on atheros on the ubuntu wiki as well | 06:42 |
| EIPhiGam | Hmm, alright, seems you can get it supported | 06:42 |
| EIPhiGam | Does Kubuntu come with the latesnt ndiswrapper? | 06:43 |
| flaccid__ | yep | 06:43 |
| flaccid__ | !info ndiswrapper | EIPhiGam | 06:43 |
| ubottu | eiphigam: Package ndiswrapper does not exist in hardy | 06:43 |
| flaccid__ | hmm | 06:43 |
| EIPhiGam | I can simply download it right? | 06:44 |
| flaccid__ | !info ndiswrapper-common | 06:44 |
| ubottu | ndiswrapper-common (source: ndiswrapper): Common scripts required to use the utilities for ndiswrapper. In component main, is optional. Version 1.50-1ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 11 kB, installed size 92 kB | 06:44 |
| flaccid__ | !ndiswrapper | 06:44 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:44 |
| flaccid__ | yeah its in the repos as per above | 06:44 |
| flaccid__ | info at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ndiswrapper | 06:44 |
| EIPhiGam | I'm still new to all this, I'm gonig to go ahead and install kubuntu first. | 06:44 |
| flaccid__ | hmm page not there | 06:45 |
| flaccid__ | EIPhiGam: the doc is at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper . its straightforward, just install ndiswrapper-common then go on to the howto on that linuxquestions page | 06:46 |
| EIPhiGam | Thanks much, installing Kubuntu now | 06:46 |
| flaccid__ | np | 06:47 |
| EIPhiGam | Good grief. | 06:47 |
| EIPhiGam | Partman crashed. -sigh- | 06:49 |
| EIPhiGam | I can't get a break. | 06:49 |
| flaccid__ | hmm, is the disk ok? | 06:50 |
| flaccid__ | as in both disks | 06:50 |
| EIPhiGam | Yep, ran XP just fine. | 06:50 |
| EIPhiGam | Okay, no error this time, but nothing is happening. | 06:50 |
| flaccid__ | hmmm. goto ctrl+alt+f1 and see if it has error messages | 06:50 |
| EIPhiGam | nope. | 06:51 |
| flaccid__ | you could try the alternate cd i guess | 06:51 |
| EIPhiGam | How do I exit the prompt? | 06:51 |
| flaccid__ | ctrl+alt+f6 iirc | 06:52 |
| flaccid__ | actually ctrl+alt+f7 | 06:52 |
| EIPhiGam | Ah ha here we go! | 06:52 |
| EIPhiGam | :D | 06:52 |
| EIPhiGam | Let's see, I'm gonig to wipe XP off this disk | 06:53 |
| flaccid__ | sounds good to me | 06:53 |
| EIPhiGam | lol | 06:53 |
| flaccid__ | could be an issue reading that part or something | 06:53 |
| EIPhiGam | All my important files are on my other HD anyhow :D | 06:53 |
| flaccid__ | cool | 06:54 |
| EIPhiGam | I love these PC/Mac commercials | 06:54 |
| EIPhiGam | Has anyone seen the comic mocking the commercials? There is a linux character that comes and Mac and PC both beat on him. | 06:55 |
| flaccid__ | EIPhiGam: you can share in #kubuntu-offtopic :) | 06:55 |
| EIPhiGam | Sorry, excuse me. | 06:56 |
| flaccid__ | np | 06:56 |
| EIPhiGam | Question: In comparison with say, XP, are Linux-OSes better at maximizing your hardware than Windows | 06:59 |
| micahcowan | EIPhiGam, sometimes yes, sometimes no. | 06:59 |
| micahcowan | In particular, the situation is made difficult by hardware manufacturers who keep details as closely-guarded secrets, making it difficult to write FOSS that takes full advantage of it. | 07:00 |
| EIPhiGam | I see. This computer I'm installing it on is a bit older, Pentium 4, etc, still nice though. I bought my new PC when I thought this other computer was failing, but I was able to save it somehow. | 07:01 |
| EIPhiGam | I'm hoping Linux will run better on it than XP was running. | 07:01 |
| EIPhiGam | Now hopefully, Kubuntu will run in normal graphics mode without giving me lip! | 07:11 |
| EIPhiGam | It will not let me choose a screen resoluution higher than 800x600. | 07:15 |
| EIPhiGam | It must have rebooted me into safe graphics mode again... | 07:15 |
| EIPhiGam | -sigh- | 07:15 |
| EIPhiGam | Now by default, do I have to isntall new drivers for my specific graphics card? | 07:18 |
| EIPhiGam | In order to get higher resolutions? | 07:18 |
| martinjh99 | Morning - Following nixternals blog entry to install kde4.1 beta and when doing apt-get dist-upgrade its not pulling in the KDE4 stuff. | 07:30 |
| martinjh99 | What do I need to install to pull in KDE4? | 07:30 |
| theseinfeld | martinjh99 what version do you have? | 07:33 |
| theseinfeld | 8.04? | 07:33 |
| theseinfeld | if hardy, just add backports :) | 07:33 |
| martinjh99 | yup | 07:33 |
| martinjh99 | Kubuntu obviously ;) | 07:33 |
| theseinfeld | :D | 07:33 |
| theseinfeld | just add the backports to the sources.list | 07:34 |
| martinjh99 | I'm wanting the new 4.1.0 Beta packages... | 07:34 |
| theseinfeld | 4.1.0 | 07:34 |
| theseinfeld | hmm | 07:34 |
| theseinfeld | i think it is 4.0.4 in the backports | 07:34 |
| martinjh99 | http://blog.nixternal.com/2008.06.05/hardy-kde-41-beta-1-completed/ | 07:35 |
| theseinfeld | then, just add that deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main to your sources list | 07:35 |
| theseinfeld | and you are set | 07:35 |
| martinjh99 | I did - Actually apt-get install kde4 seems to be working not the instructions on the blog post! | 07:36 |
| theseinfeld | https://edge.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-members-kde4/+archive | 07:36 |

| EIPhiGam | Hazah! WPN111 Success! | 07:58 |
| flaccid__ | nice one | 07:59 |
| EIPhiGam | Anyone know how to get Kubuntu to recognize my Monitor can support higher resolutions than 800x600? | 08:03 |
| flaccid__ | EIPhiGam: you can't increase it in system settings? | 08:03 |
| EIPhiGam | Nope. | 08:04 |
| EIPhiGam | It has 800x600 as the highest setting | 08:04 |
| flaccid__ | what video card | 08:04 |
| EIPhiGam | Hmm, good question, its and nVidia | 08:04 |
| EIPhiGam | I think 6200 | 08:04 |
| flaccid__ | EIPhiGam: goto hardware drivers in system settings and see if you can enable the restricted driver | 08:04 |
| EIPhiGam | Okay. | 08:04 |
| EIPhiGam | I don't see hardware drivers anywhere | 08:05 |
| === Deviance is now known as TimS | ||
| EIPhiGam | Any idea why I am unable to view hardware sdrivers? | 08:09 |
| flaccid__ | EIPhiGam: did you find it in system settings? maybe its under restricted drivers depending what version | 08:09 |
| flaccid__ | is this kde3? | 08:09 |
| EIPhiGam | I'm using 8.04, and it was not an option in System Settings | 08:09 |
| EIPhiGam | umm, It is whatever came with 8.04 | 08:10 |
| flaccid__ | which iso did you use | 08:10 |
| EIPhiGam | iso says KDE4 | 08:10 |
| EIPhiGam | :) | 08:10 |
| flaccid__ | rigght. goto alt+f2 and do a kdesudo jockey-kde | 08:11 |
| EIPhiGam | I see | 08:12 |
| EIPhiGam | nvidia_new enabled but not in use | 08:12 |
| flaccid__ | um re-enable it and see what happens | 08:13 |
| EIPhiGam | so disable the enable again? | 08:13 |
| flaccid__ | yep if you can | 08:13 |
| EIPhiGam | alright | 08:13 |
| EIPhiGam | Still says Not in use | 08:13 |
| flaccid__ | it should do somethig hopefully to set it up | 08:14 |
| flaccid__ | after that is should say restart required | 08:16 |
| flaccid__ | it it doesn't, pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:17 |
| EIPhiGam | is pastebin a command? | 08:17 |
| flaccid__ | !pastebin | 08:17 |

| EIPhiGam | Sure | 08:20 |
| EIPhiGam | Its not very long.. | 08:21 |
| EIPhiGam | It just added 2 lines in the prompt | 08:21 |
| flaccid__ | you can paste up to 3 lines here no worries | 08:22 |

| sensae | Hello | 08:25 |
| flaccid__ | EIPhiGam: can you install these two packages now: nvidia-glx-new and linux-restricted-modules | 08:26 |
| EIPhiGam | How do I do that? Can I download them now that I am on the net on that PC? | 08:26 |

| EIPhiGam | flaccid__: I appreciate the help by the way. :) | 08:29 |
| EIPhiGam | Okay, downloading, I think I did it right. | 08:32 |
| flaccid__ | np | 08:32 |
| flaccid__ | after its downloaded you should be able to do a sudo nvidia-xconfig or go back to hardware drivers to enable | 08:32 |
| EIPhiGam | its taking awhile to download the stuff. | 08:33 |
| EIPhiGam | About 60% now | 08:33 |
| flaccid__ | yeah it would be a bit because its nvidia blob | 08:33 |

| EIPhiGam | Okay, reboot required. Lets reboot the system | 08:36 |
| flaccid__ | oky | 08:36 |
| EIPhiGam | I think I'll also install WINE before I reboot. | 08:38 |
| EIPhiGam | That's the Windows simulator right? | 08:38 |
| flaccid__ | EIPhiGam: yeah sudo apt-get install wine && winecfg | 08:39 |

| Rozza | and wireless | 08:58 |
| EIPhiGam | flaccid__: Did you see anything wrong in my nvidia settings? | 08:58 |
| flaccid__ | its using vesa driver and the restricted driver was not installed | 08:59 |
| flaccid__ | sorry looking at paste now | 08:59 |
| Rozza | now to see if i can run mirc... | 08:59 |
| flaccid__ | Rozza: ouch :) | 09:00 |
| flaccid__ | EIPhiGam: driver is installed now it seems did you run sudo nvidia-xconfig after you installed it or try selecting from hardware drivers manager? | 09:01 |
| EIPhiGam | I see, how do I change it to use the restricted driver then? | 09:01 |
| EIPhiGam | i didnt run the sudo | 09:01 |
| EIPhiGam | Should I do that now? | 09:01 |
| flaccid__ | do that now and then check /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see if "vesa" is changed to "nvidia" , if not we can do manual.. | 09:02 |
| EIPhiGam | i hate this single click crap! | 09:02 |
| EIPhiGam | >_< | 09:02 |
| flaccid__ | we could of added the monitor resolution to xorg.conf or changed in krandrtray but you dont' get 3d or performance on vesa using nvidia card.. | 09:02 |
| flaccid__ | EIPhiGam: yeah you can disable that | 09:03 |
| EIPhiGam | Okay, it ow says using nvidia | 09:03 |
| EIPhiGam | And how do I disable that? | 09:03 |
| flaccid__ | EIPhiGam: disable what and what says using nvidia | 09:03 |
| flaccid__ | ? | 09:03 |
| EIPhiGam | flaccid__: Disable single click opening everything to make it use double click like windows, and the xorg config file now says using nvidia as the driver | 09:04 |
| flaccid__ | EIPhiGam: um its in system settings somewhere i think trying to remember. #kde should be able to say | 09:04 |
| flaccid__ | EIPhiGam: well in theory you can now logout to the login screen, from the dopdown select restart X server and it should then restart with nvidia driver | 09:05 |
| EIPhiGam | ok, restarting | 09:06 |
| EIPhiGam | or rather logging out | 09:06 |
| EIPhiGam | AHH! | 09:07 |
| EIPhiGam | YES! | 09:07 |
| EIPhiGam | nvidia! | 09:07 |

| Sakui | how do I change the port for sshd? | 09:50 |
| itay | Just installed kubuntu 8.04. I need root password and how to start ssh server | 09:52 |
| PhilRod | !root | 09:53 |
| eagles0513875 | !ssh | 09:53 |
| PhilRod | hrm, no bot? | 09:53 |
| Sakui | root has no password and locked down | 09:53 |
| ubottu | 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 | 09:53 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 09:53 |
| Sakui | itay: try sudo passwd -u root | 09:54 |
| Sakui | i think | 09:54 |
| Sakui | then sudo passwd root | 09:54 |
| Pennycook | itay: You won't need the root password. | 09:59 |
| itay | Yep, Funny thing. No root password. | 09:59 |
| itay | However can not su - | 10:00 |
| itay | since not in wheel group. | 10:00 |
| itay | Thanks. | 10:00 |
| Pennycook | itay: Having a root password is a security risk, I'd recommend sticking with sudo. | 10:00 |
| Sakui | how do you restart the openssh daemon? | 10:01 |
| PhilRod | sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart ? | 10:02 |
| Sakui | oh | 10:02 |
| needhelp | hi anyone can help me with enabling tls/ssl in proftpd? | 10:02 |
| PhilRod | Sakui: not sure, but that would be my first guess | 10:04 |

| Pennycook | xmanwe: systemsettings -> Appearance -> Icons -> Advanced. You can set the size of all your icons there. | 10:12 |
| xmanwe | hell.. blindness. | 10:13 |
| eagles0513875 | lol | 10:14 |

| eagles0513875 | itay: look under system settings | 10:15 |
| eagles0513875 | there is an add users option | 10:15 |
| eagles0513875 | there u can specify permissions and what not | 10:16 |

| * EIPhiGam sighs. | 10:19 | |
| EIPhiGam | So, to whoever is around, I just updated Kubuntu with a lot of updates, and suddenly the internet connection config utility has disapeared from my taskbar. | 10:20 |
| Pennycook | EIPhiGam: Have you tried running it again? "knetworkmanager" | 10:20 |
| EIPhiGam | Just typed it in, nothing is coming up. | 10:21 |
| Pennycook | ps ax | grep knetworkmanager - is there one running? | 10:22 |
| EIPhiGam | It says could not find usr/bin/networkmanager | 10:22 |
| Pennycook | Does it have a k there? | 10:22 |
| EIPhiGam | Where? | 10:23 |
| EIPhiGam | When I do the terminal input | 10:23 |
| Pennycook | Well you said "usr/bin/networkmanager", but I said to run "knetworkmanager" | 10:23 |
| EIPhiGam | I didi/ | 10:23 |
| EIPhiGam | Sorry, I forgot the k | 10:23 |
| Pennycook | Okay, was just checking. I suppose you could try sudo apt-get install knetworkmanager, then | 10:24 |
| EIPhiGam | funny, I see knetworkmanager there though | 10:24 |
| EIPhiGam | And in the terminal it lists it | 10:24 |
| Pennycook | So it's there in ps ax, but you can't run it? Try "sudo killall knetworkmanager", followed by "/usr/bin/knetworkmanager" | 10:26 |
| EIPhiGam | Ahh there we go | 10:26 |
| EIPhiGam | Odd that it wasnt showing up on startup anymore | 10:26 |
| Pennycook | EIPhiGam: I think if you right click it in the system tray and tell it to quit, you'll be asked if you want it to run on startup. | 10:27 |
| EIPhiGam | Yes, thank you, now I have to wait for ndiswrapper to kick in. | 10:31 |

| kamel | my kubuuntu machine has no interne card so I'm looking for a hassle-free offline solution | 11:37 |
| flaccid__ | kamel: do you have a kubuntu dvd? | 11:37 |
| kamel | no it's a cd | 11:38 |
| flaccid__ | thats why i asked. i don't believe the cd comes with the codec, can someone correct me? | 11:38 |
| kamel | what should i do? | 11:38 |
| flaccid__ | you need the package libxine-extracodecs and/or mpeg321 . so you need the internet to get them.. | 11:41 |
| flaccid__ | unless you have a dvd | 11:41 |
| flaccid__ | kamel: i will check a livecd. is that what you have a dapper desktop cd? | 11:42 |
| kamel | what about other media players? | 11:42 |
| kamel | yes | 11:43 |
| flaccid__ | they all share the one codec which is non free thus not shipped with ubuntu.. | 11:43 |
| kamel | so i'm out of luck? | 11:44 |
| Rozza | Whats the name for c complier | 11:44 |
| flaccid__ | you on the internet atm, so i don't see the problem unless you don't have any media to copy it onto.. | 11:44 |

| acetoline | also g++ | 11:48 |
| flaccid__ | Rozza: you probably won't build-essential at the end of the day to cover other things but yeah otherwise depends which c compiler you are talkign about | 11:49 |
| Pennycook | kamel: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/allpackages You can download packages from there. | 11:49 |
| kamel | can I get the files and somehow transfer them to the kubuntu machine? how? | 11:49 |
| flaccid__ | Pennycook: the computer does not have networking | 11:49 |
| flaccid__ | and i don't know why it can't just copy. and now he advises he has windows lol | 11:49 |
| flaccid__ | oh my apologies. yes download directly and copy to the box in question. sorry | 11:50 |
| kamel | oh I get it now | 11:50 |

| florian_ | I can change to "restore manually saved session" (or what it's named in english) and then press "Apply", but the session is not stored at anytime. I'm missing the button from kde3 (i think it was in the kde-menu: store session) | 12:08 |

| Dr_willis | macpaulos, with the proper use of the 'sudo' command to allow root access to system files. | 12:51 |
| eagles0513875 | Dr_willis: any ideas as to my issue with configure: error: Audacity requires libsndfile to be enabled | 12:51 |

| macpaulos | aha, thanks Dr_willis, i'll try that | 12:52 |
| Dr_willis | eagles0513875, and proberly a dozen+ other dev packages. | 12:52 |
| eagles0513875 | for the love of god u serious | 12:52 |
| eagles0513875 | just to install audacity from source | 12:52 |
| theFATMAN | if i install the linux server image for my system to optimize quadcore performance, that won't affect the xserver or kde, will it? | 12:53 |
| Dr_willis | eagles0513875, theres a REASON people dont like to use source. | 12:53 |
| flaccid__ | jaakkome: its set up. you use your username to log in ie. system users | 12:53 |
| Dr_willis | eagles0513875, depending on the app. There can be quiet a few dev packages needed | 12:53 |
| eagles0513875 | Dr_willis: i need practice for my certification exam | 12:54 |
| flaccid__ | eagles0513875: why you need source version out of interest? | 12:54 |
| Dr_willis | eagles0513875, ./configure - read error.. install next dev package... repeate.. :) | 12:54 |
| flaccid__ | oh | 12:54 |
| eagles0513875 | flaccid__: practice compiling from source i need to know how for my linux certification exam | 12:54 |
| Dr_willis | eagles0513875, or theres some apt command that can grab the dev-src for the package and all nddede dev-dependencies. | 12:54 |
| flaccid__ | eagles0513875: compile kde then :) | 12:54 |
| eagles0513875 | maybe i will when im not working my behind off | 12:55 |
| Dr_willis | practice doing './configure, make, sudo make install' -) :) | 12:55 |
| flaccid__ | eagles0513875: yeah but what specifically do you need to know. there is no standard in build in unix | 12:55 |
| flaccid__ | Dr_willis: hehe yeah | 12:55 |
| eagles0513875 | just the steps | 12:55 |
| eagles0513875 | this first exam they say is the hardest out of all of them | 12:55 |
| flaccid__ | yeah well the closest to a standard is those two steps, don't need to practice them :) | 12:56 |

| ubottu | Found: plplot9-driver-wxwidgets | 12:59 |
| flaccid__ | eagles0513875: try the pakages.ubuntu.com search :) | 12:59 |
| da | Oh and can you adjust the theme for like kate as the root users?, so I can tell I am root by the qt theme? | 12:59 |
| Dr_willis | eagles0513875, try apt-cache search ITEMNAME | grep dev | 12:59 |
| flaccid__ | file search is on the website | 12:59 |
| eagles0513875 | lol i need to practice using grep lol | 13:00 |
| eagles0513875 | keep forgetting bout grep | 13:00 |
| Dr_willis | eagles0513875, grep pattern :) | 13:00 |
| Dr_willis | da run the kde theme manager tool as root. with kdesu, or similer, and change the theme.. i THINK works.. | 13:00 |
| eagles0513875 | u all thought it was pointless to compile from source | 13:00 |
| eagles0513875 | givning me gd practice from various aspects of linux | 13:01 |
| flaccid__ | eagles0513875: im a freebsd person. i would never say that.. | 13:01 |
| Dr_willis | eagles0513875, i never said it was pointless.. theres a reason people dont do it. | 13:01 |
| meta | Hi all | 13:01 |
| da | Dr_willis: nah cause it changes my normal users theme as well | 13:01 |
| meta | what is the name of that script/program that automatically mounts the local harddrives | 13:01 |
| meta | in the livecd? | 13:01 |
| eagles0513875 | you guys saying if i wanted to compile from source that i might as well be using dpkg | 13:01 |
| Dr_willis | da Hmm.. ive not tried it in ages.. I used to have a different theme/colors for root. vs ones for the users.. It may bee one can only change colors. | 13:02 |
| eagles0513875 | and have that headache of having to pull lots of dependencies | 13:02 |
| Dr_willis | eagles0513875, if you want to compile somthing.. you will need all its dependencies.. no matter how you go about it. | 13:02 |
| Dr_willis | So do what you want. :) | 13:02 |
| eagles0513875 | Dr_willis: i need practice not to mention it will give me practice using grep lol | 13:03 |
| macpaulos | paul@HP-UBUNTU:~$ sudo cp firmware_v2.tgz /lib/firmware | 13:03 |
| macpaulos | cp: cannot stat `firmware_v2.tgz': No such file or directory ....sorry to keep banging on about this minor thing | 13:03 |
| Dr_willis | I think more 'reading' of a grep book.. will help with the grep stuff... | 13:04 |
| da | I just need something to remind me when I am running something as root | 13:04 |
| Dr_willis | macpaulos, use the proper path to the file.. and it proberly has to be uncompressed also. | 13:04 |
| eagles0513875 | da: u will need to sudo quite alot so it will eventually stick | 13:04 |
| da | macpaulos: cp can't find the file you are trying to cp... You need the correct path | 13:04 |
| Dr_willis | macpaulos, cp /path/to/whatever/file /lib/firmware | 13:04 |

| macpaulos | nice one | 13:06 |
| meta | i'm sure that it has no gui, and it's not problem | 13:06 |
| eagles0513875 | meta: i wish i knew how to script i would write one for ya but im a total noob in regards to scripting | 13:06 |
| da | eagles0513875: I 2 windows for kate one that is sudoed and the other that is not... | 13:06 |
| Dr_willis | script to mount internal hard drives? or external usb ones? | 13:06 |
| Dr_willis | why not just edit the fstab file? | 13:06 |
| meta | eagles0513875: sure, but why if it already written? | 13:06 |
| meta | Dr_willis: no | 13:06 |
| da | I forget which is which and end up editing in the wrong one | 13:07 |
| meta | i have installed ubuntu on my pendrive | 13:07 |

| eagles0513875 | da: you can use vim but its quite advanced and rather powerful tool | 13:07 |
| meta | and i want it to auto mount up every drive that it founds | 13:07 |
| eagles0513875 | meta: didnt know that it was already written | 13:07 |
| flaccid__ | meta: /etc/fstab ? | 13:07 |
| Dr_willis | vim is worth learning. :) | 13:07 |
| da | eagles0513875: yeah VIM is annoying I know | 13:07 |
| meta | independent from the hardware | 13:07 |
| da | eagles0513875: I have played with it | 13:07 |
| eagles0513875 | da: im doing my linux cert and i have had to use it lol | 13:07 |
| eagles0513875 | has a whole chapter dedicated to vim | 13:07 |
| flaccid__ | !fstab | meta | 13:07 |
| meta | no fstab is the solution. please forget that:) | 13:07 |

| da | puke | 13:08 |
| eagles0513875 | da: if u need any commands i am reading my linux exam book and i hav esome commands that i can help ya with if u need | 13:08 |

| eagles0513875 | for all ur linux comp needs | 13:09 |
| eagles0513875 | da: u know u have multiple desktops u can click on on the right side | 13:09 |
| meta | fstab is also for auto okay. But it depends on a hardware | 13:09 |
| meta | but i'm not always on the same. I need that prog that mounts automatically the harddrives in the livecd... | 13:09 |
| === Az1mov is now known as Azimov | ||
| meta | i just don't know it's name:) | 13:09 |
| flaccid__ | meta: don't shout. fstab is for auto. | 13:09 |
| da | I know I have multiple desktops, btu the fact remains I use the title bar at the bottom | 13:09 |
| eagles0513875 | da: u want a pop up in the middle of the screen when u change to tell you which desktop you are on | 13:10 |
| da | So... I was trying to make it idiot proof for the days I get in a hurry | 13:10 |
| eagles0513875 | *you | 13:10 |
| flaccid__ | meta: so what you do is 1. listen 2. add the pendrive to fstab and done. | 13:10 |
| eagles0513875 | da: i hear what your saying | 13:10 |
| meta | flaccid__: so what you do is 1. read 2. help if you can. | 13:10 |
| da | Especially the days I am tired | 13:11 |
| flaccid__ | meta: i just helped you. what do you want me to do exactly? | 13:11 |
| meta | read again what i need:) | 13:11 |
| meta | and where iam. | 13:11 |
| flaccid__ | you want a pendrive to automount on boot? | 13:11 |
| eagles0513875 | meta: u want to auto mount right | 13:11 |
| meta | flaccid__: no. | 13:11 |
| flaccid__ | auto mount every drive found? | 13:11 |
| eagles0513875 | he wants to automount is hd's | 13:11 |
| meta | i have written down a lot of times my problems before. Please read me back | 13:11 |
| flaccid__ | meta: a script that searches for drives connected and mounts them? | 13:12 |
| meta | yeah! | 13:12 |
| flaccid__ | horray | 13:12 |
| da | I just open a shell in kate and cp the file to the correct spot with sudo | 13:12 |
| Dr_willis | cant just write a script that has 'mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1' and so on? | 13:12 |
| flaccid__ | meta: what was the google search result? kubuntu doesn't have anything like that | 13:12 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 13:12 |
| meta | flaccid__: one thing is i'm on console now, another (for Dr_willis ) it's already written. | 13:13 |
| meta | ubuntu livecd does this if you boot it up | 13:13 |
| eagles0513875 | meta: google.com/linux searches all linux related pgs | 13:13 |
| Dr_willis | meta you want one that 'searches for ' and mounts all Internal disks. - to be exact? | 13:13 |
| meta | i just thought that soembody knwos it's name (i hoped it's an init script) | 13:13 |
| da | I wonder if compiz-fushion will work with a intel 965 card? | 13:13 |
| flaccid__ | meta: you sure you don't mean it mounts available parts on the local hard disks? | 13:14 |
| eagles0513875 | flaccid__: | 13:14 |
| Dr_willis | I have seen various tools that let the user click to mount drive entries in the fstab. I thought kde and gnome allready had such a feature once you clicked on a drive in the Places/Computer: areas. | 13:14 |
| eagles0513875 | doesnt a normal boot mount all drives automatically | 13:14 |
| flaccid__ | something that searches for things like pendrives attached is different i think | 13:14 |
| flaccid__ | um i think the livecd will mount your local parts iirc | 13:14 |
| meta | iirc on kublivecd i had /media/hdxy-s | 13:15 |
| meta | and in thats my dirves contents | 13:15 |
| da | Hmm come to think about it my cdrom drive won't automount like it used to | 13:15 |
| meta | hmm, can be easier if i ask it in the devel channel? | 13:15 |
| meta | they should know:) | 13:15 |
| flaccid__ | meta: well i thought you meant other drives like usb etc. | 13:15 |
| flaccid__ | meta: already asked there | 13:16 |
| da | permission denied and in the cdrom group... | 13:16 |
| meta | and? Does anybody know the ansver? | 13:16 |
| flaccid__ | meta: someone there has said that the livecd does not do that | 13:16 |
| meta | but i remembers other:( | 13:16 |
| flaccid__ | meta: you must be referring to hald wich will automount the local media it can | 13:17 |
| Dr_willis | live cd does NOT mount the internal drives automatically | 13:17 |
| flaccid__ | yeah, meta is talkinga about hald | 13:17 |
| Dr_willis | at least not the ubuntu live cd's :) | 13:17 |
| Dr_willis | but i thought they did mount them when you clicked on their icons | 13:17 |
| flaccid__ | yeah i've heard of some distros doing it but i've always mounted manual to circumvent a system | 13:18 |
| flaccid__ | yeah the click etc. would hook up to hald i assume and thats not a script that does it auto on boot as meta wants. meta must think its on boot or something but its user based as per hald on login | 13:18 |
| meta | No. | 13:19 |
| flaccid__ | meta: well there is no script on the livecd that does what you claim. | 13:20 |
| flaccid__ | i remember myself i have always had to mount manually | 13:20 |
| eagles0513875 | im becoming grep happy | 13:21 |
| meta | flaccid__: have you tried the hardy livecd? | 13:21 |
| flaccid__ | try awk now eagles0513875 :) | 13:21 |
| flaccid__ | meta: yeah | 13:21 |
| eagles0513875 | !info awk | 13:21 |
| ubottu | Package awk does not exist in hardy | 13:21 |
| meta | I exactly remember that i don't needed it:( | 13:21 |
| eagles0513875 | flaccid__: i have no idea what the awk programming language is | 13:22 |
| meta | hmm i need to boot back to my kubuntu for some googling:( | 13:22 |
| flaccid__ | meta will if you goto #kubuntu-devel and talk to ScottK he will advise it doesn't do it | 13:22 |
| meta | Okay | 13:22 |
| flaccid__ | eagles0513875: google :) awk rocks | 13:22 |
| meta | and maybe he can know another way | 13:22 |
| meta | Or does anybody knows another way to do this? | 13:22 |
| flaccid__ | fstab. the first thing we all said. sure you have to put the /dev/* in there but thats the best practice.. | 13:23 |
| flaccid__ | otherwise you user mount in your kde session with hal | 13:23 |
| eagles0513875 | flaccid__: one thing at a time im still dicking round with dev dependencies and audacity | 13:23 |
| meta | fstab isn't good solution | 13:24 |
| flaccid__ | meta: and why not? | 13:24 |
| meta | because i don't know what i has on different machines | 13:24 |
| flaccid__ | meta: what do you mean? | 13:24 |
| meta | as i said, i'm on a pendrive | 13:24 |
| meta | that can be booted up anywhere | 13:24 |
| meta | somewhere just one partition on one disk | 13:24 |
| eagles0513875 | meta: is it quite easy to setup a pen drive with linux | 13:24 |
| meta | somewhere 3 disks with 20 partition | 13:25 |
| meta | eagles0513875: not that is the question:D | 13:25 |
| flaccid__ | in that case, there is disks and filesystems in system settings, use hal to automount/mount on click or finally, write a shell script. what else could you need? | 13:25 |
| flaccid__ | nah the pendrive is his linux desktop | 13:25 |
| eagles0513875 | meta: im impressed how they got xandros derivative to work on the asus eee pc | 13:25 |
| flaccid__ | i carry one on my keyring like you meta.. | 13:25 |
| eagles0513875 | on a ssd memory card | 13:25 |
| meta | anyways, flaccid__ and Dr_willis you are won:) | 13:26 |
| eagles0513875 | im buying one 4gb one for bout 15 euros if not less then that | 13:26 |
| flaccid__ | eagles0513875: kubuntu runs on that | 13:26 |
| meta | i remembered wrong as Scottk said:( | 13:26 |
| flaccid__ | meta: i am won? is that good? | 13:26 |
| eagles0513875 | flaccid__: i would rather try it on this machine then spend bout 500 euros for an eee pc | 13:26 |
| eagles0513875 | 2 laptops is enough for me | 13:26 |

| eagles0513875 | man this is a headache | 13:39 |
| Pennycook | da: KDE 4.0.3 (the version offered by the KDE 4 remix) is fine and I didn't have any problems with it. There are a few problems in upgrading to the 4.1 beta, but that's what #kubuntu-kde4 is for. | 13:39 |

| Dr_willis | eagles0513875, you could try ' sudo apt-get build-dep audacity ' | 14:21 |
| brian88 | flaccid: hmm, okay. btw, thanks to the eagles* for the red-text trick :)) | 14:21 |
| eagles0513875 | ok will try that Dr_willis | 14:21 |
| Dr_willis | eagles0513875, we suggested that some time ago. :) | 14:22 |
| flaccid | red text trick? | 14:22 |
| eagles0513875 | Dr_willis: u did probably so many people suggestion stuff lol i over looked it | 14:22 |
| eagles0513875 | my bad guys | 14:22 |
| eagles0513875 | me puts build-dep in head | 14:22 |
| brian88 | flaccid: yes, that one which makes the text red : [20:19] <eagles0513875> to get someones attention just type their name plus tab to complete it and it will make it red for that person | 14:23 |
| Dr_willis | <eagles0513875> !source | 14:23 |
| Dr_willis | <ubottu> You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 14:23 |
| eagles0513875 | brian88: you got it | 14:23 |
| eagles0513875 | Dr_willis: i know how to fetch sources just the dependency issues were my problem | 14:23 |
| eagles0513875 | if i wanted to deal with all dependencies i would have used dpkg | 14:23 |
| Dr_willis | eagles0513875, that url gave the trick to getting all the dependencies FOR a source compile. | 14:24 |
| eagles0513875 | Dr_willis: oh | 14:24 |
| * eagles0513875 doh | 14:24 | |
| brian88 | flaccid: how come? kget is 70MB... which one should I choose? aria or d4x? which one is better | 14:24 |
| Dr_willis | it scans the src.deb packages.. and grabs the needed packages to compile the thing. :) which is exactly what you are wanting to do.. only you are using the tar.gz source i giuess | 14:24 |
| eagles0513875 | well the extracted tar | 14:25 |
| flaccid | oh brian88 yeah if its done client side so its konversation that does it if your* nick is messaged in teh chan | 14:25 |
| flaccid | brian88: kget is 441 kB you must be talking its deps or something. i have only used kget out of the ones you menntioned | 14:26 |
| flaccid | i use opera for http get.. | 14:26 |
| flaccid | or wget in shell | 14:26 |
| brian88 | flaccid: I use opera now... do opera has the acceleration feature? | 14:27 |
| flaccid | brian88: please explain to me what acceleration here is? | 14:27 |
| flaccid | splitting it up and creating more tcp connections on a low bandwidth connection can decrease performance | 14:27 |
| flaccid | different if you are on something like isdn which is multiplexed | 14:28 |
| eagles0513875 | isdn is still around | 14:28 |

| Pici | eagles0513875: I dont know. | 14:36 |
| eagles0513875 | Pici: i needed to sudo when i ran make install | 14:37 |
| Pici | eagles0513875: You usually do. | 14:38 |
| Dr_willis | eagles0513875, yes. :) thats true. unless you want it installed for a single user. | 14:38 |
| eagles0513875 | for the ./configure and the make i didnt have to | 14:38 |
| Dr_willis | eagles0513875, thats also correct. :) theres no need to for that. | 14:38 |
| eagles0513875 | ok | 14:38 |
| Dr_willis | in fact it couldbe considered a security risk to do so | 14:39 |
| eagles0513875 | just for the make install you need to run it as rot | 14:39 |
| eagles0513875 | Dr_willis: to run all 3 steps as root would be security risk | 14:39 |

| Pici | Did you extract that? or did root? | 14:54 |
| eagles0513875 | seems root did | 14:55 |
| genii | BluesKaj: The configure is for when it's possible to install on multiple platforms. So it needs to decide where things go, what the compiler is etc. But if you d/l a specific set of sources there is no configure since the makefile is already for that | 14:55 |
| eagles0513875 | goign to fix | 14:55 |

| helpy | you have a limit on downloads | 16:20 |
| helpy | i can have free downloads all month | 16:20 |
| pim | thanks | 16:20 |
| prodigy | helpy: it does. your bandwidth is 100k, and if you upload at maximum, your download will take longer, because your connection is floe=aded by searching and resolving packets traffic. | 16:21 |
| prodigy | *floaded | 16:21 |
| helpy | oh then i guess i should limit my upload | 16:21 |
| prodigy | so, if you limit upload, you will get more download speed. | 16:21 |
| helpy | oh gawd i am uploading at 36 kbps | 16:22 |
| eagles0513875 | lol | 16:22 |
| prodigy | yes, and when you finish downloading, unlimit it, so the others can take from you what you took from the others. :) | 16:22 |
| cyberbird | prodigy: I thought that more upload means more download... | 16:22 |
| prodigy | cyberbird: unfortunately, no. | 16:22 |
| helpy | yea naturally :) | 16:23 |
| theFATMAN | prodigy is right on the money | 16:23 |
| helpy | good download speed has picked up a lil | 16:23 |
| prodigy | your bandwidth is floaded bt traffic of the packets informations, and even when you download at say, 20k and upload at 5k, you consume ALL your bandwidth | 16:23 |
| cyberbird | the program itself limits download when you limit upload... | 16:23 |
| prodigy | BUT, after you download at 100%, unlimit your upload for a few hours, so the others can download from you. that is p2p | 16:24 |
| prodigy | it is good to sometimes manually announce to trackers. | 16:24 |
| helpy | do i have to restart for changes to take effect? | 16:25 |
| prodigy | cyberbird: that is not correct, i always limit upload, and download at full speed. | 16:25 |
| prodigy | ity is up to you to unlimit and share when you download, if you like. | 16:25 |

| helpy | yea but my concern is speed | 16:28 |
| zorglu_ | if mem and cpu are no issue, you may try azureus | 16:29 |
| prodigy | helpy: did you notice that when you downlad with torrents, even if you are not at full speed, you cannot surf the web... that is because all of your bandwidth is consumed by p2p programs. no matter which you use. | 16:29 |

| da | jo4: why do you need to trick it? | 16:53 |
| da | It won't install for a reason | 16:53 |
| cyberbird | eagles0513875: what version of wine you use? | 16:53 |
| nosrednaekim | Tex-Twil: you have to put in the full path to the .so such as /usr/lib/mylib.so | 16:53 |
| jo4 | da, it refuses to install a package because it doesn't think the deps are installed | 16:53 |
| eagles0513875 | what ever was in repos | 16:53 |
| eagles0513875 | cyberbird: how do i check | 16:53 |
| da | do a apt-get -f install first | 16:53 |
| eagles0513875 | cyberbird: think i got something in winehq chan | 16:53 |
| cyberbird | go menu -> wine -> wine configuration -> about | 16:54 |
| jo4 | will that disable dependancies? how to enable it again if so? ;D | 16:54 |

| flaccid | it should in kde3/konq | 17:21 |
| flaccid | helpy: you can read about it on google | 17:21 |
| flaccid | and the wiki | 17:22 |

| flaccid | helpy: please read the documentation | 17:23 |
| helpy | mostly i back up on dvds | 17:23 |
| helpy | umm let me re-read | 17:23 |
| Char | flaccid ive looked for it in konqeror but entering "remote:" doesnt see to do anything. neither is there a directory called "remote". do you mean "/media"? | 17:24 |
| flaccid | Char: when you start konqueror from alt+f2 does it have a network folders link on the landing page? | 17:28 |
| eagles0513875 | brb | 17:30 |
| helpy | is it a good idea to keep logarthmic back up ? | 17:30 |
| helpy | in simple back up app ? | 17:30 |
| flaccid | sure its a good idea | 17:31 |
| helpy | how much space it takes ? | 17:31 |
| helpy | alot of back ups might run me out of space | 17:31 |
| flaccid | you would have to calculate it | 17:32 |
| flaccid | i couldn't say | 17:32 |
| helpy | from ? | 17:32 |
| flaccid | a calculator if you are not compressing | 17:32 |

| flaccid | yeah thats what im talking Char. have you changed your keyboard shortcuts for "Run Command". alt+f2 is default for running a command thats all.. | 17:34 |
| Char | flaccid: ok. i never changed any keyboard shortcuts (wouldn't have known how to). ok. so. i was actually (like helpy) trying to set up a backup and wanted to try sbackup to a smb share but got an error message that the selected destination is not writtable | 17:36 |
| Char | and that reminded me that i never ever managed to get a smb share mounted properly either | 17:36 |

| cyberbird | eagles0513875: depends which opertaing system use the disk | 17:42 |
| cyberbird | but there is a driver to read - write ext3 partitions from linux | 17:42 |
| eagles0513875 | ? | 17:43 |
| grendal_prime | ok i created a shortcut to an executable..put it on my desktop Why cant i change the Icon associated with it? | 17:43 |
| cyberbird | for windows I mean | 17:43 |
| flaccid | Char: yep mount there | 17:43 |
| BluesKaj | Dragonath, in oder to use the default restricted ati drivers the open source ones have to be uninstalled | 17:43 |
| grendal_prime | it lets me pick a new one but...it never displays it? | 17:43 |
| BluesKaj | Dragonath, you should be able to find an uninstall script in the driver folder | 17:44 |
| Dragonath | BluesKaj: but I was using the default restricted drivers already and didn't really uninstall anything | 17:44 |
| BluesKaj | ok , sorry , misunderstood | 17:44 |
| eagles0513875 | cyberbird: if i creat my pendrive as ext3 it wont work on a winblows machine | 17:45 |

| ubottu | google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux | 17:45 |
| Dragonath | all I want to know is whether I need to remove the unsupported restricted drivers somehow or I should just enable restricted drivers from the module again | 17:45 |
| eagles0513875 | man this is too confusing | 17:45 |

| cyberbird | wait a second | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | yes, remove the unsupported drivers ..I hope you didn't install them before trying the default restricted ones | 17:47 |

| eagles0513875 | u talking to me steve555 | 17:49 |
| eagles0513875 | *you | 17:49 |
| BluesKaj | Dragonath, I'd clear the decks of any uneeded drivers and reboot , then run the restricted defaults if that's what you are aiming for. | 17:50 |

| Char | flaccid - i tried "mount //mybox/shared /media/Linux" where /media/Linux has drwxdr-xdr-x and is owned by me (not root). mount asked me for a password, even though the share is accessible without? | 17:50 |
| Dragonath | BluesKaj: is there a magic bullet command to do that, or I just need to figure out what I need to delete? | 17:51 |
| Char | flaccid - i take that back. | 17:51 |
| cyberbird | you can also access ntfs partitions from linux using ntfs-3g | 17:51 |
| flaccid | Char: thats not what i suggested. if you have sufficient perms on the client side then the problem is the server. make sure its not authenticating as guest | 17:51 |

| intelikey | !sudo | pim | 19:06 |
| pim | Well I don't think I really have used sudo. | 19:06 |
| pim | Only to acces my ntfs drives | 19:06 |
| intelikey | nosrednaekim | 19:06 |
| ubottu | In KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 19:06 |
| ubottu | pim: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 19:06 |

| helpy | hmm. i am also trying to set PGP encryption | 21:55 |
| naderman | the install disks fail | 21:55 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | that's the most sensible thing i've heard all day. the coffee will help relax you :) | 21:55 |
| helpy | if i encrypt my email, recipients have to have thunderbird to decrypt ? | 21:55 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | naderman: the alt cd fails too? | 21:55 |
| naderman | had too much coffee already today ;-) | 21:55 |
| naderman | yes | 21:55 |
| helpy | eheh thanks Daisuke-Laptop | 21:55 |
| sensae | Daisuke-Laptop: Thanks | 21:56 |
| naderman | the alt cd gets stuck on a blue screen | 21:56 |
| ejupin | i have an old dell inspiron 5000, should i use xubuntu or kubuntu? | 21:56 |
| helpy | both should work fine | 21:56 |
| naderman | the last thing before that is something about detecting HDs, an then a little later it's just stuck on a blue screen | 21:56 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | helpy: as long as you sign it with your key and use the recipients' public key to encrypt, they can decrypt it with their key regardless of email client | 21:56 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | naderman: are you using raid by any chance? | 21:56 |
| naderman | no | 21:56 |
| naderman | definately not | 21:56 |
| slow-motion | hi | 21:57 |
| naderman | I doubt it's related to the harddrives | 21:57 |
| naderman | appears to be the next step after that | 21:57 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | ejupin: personally, xubuntu | 21:57 |
| ejupin | daisuke-laptop: thats what i was thinking, wouldnt be as heavy i think | 21:57 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | ejupin: i use it even on modern machines, and they scream :D plus xubuntu can do window compositing (drop shadows, transparency) without the overhead of compiz. | 21:58 |
| naderman | hmm ok looking at what the alternate installer does, it really appears to break before partitioning | 21:58 |
| ejupin | daisuke-laptop: thanks, i think im gonna load it up | 21:58 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | those are about the only two things i can think of that actually improve productivity when it comes to eye candy | 21:58 |
| buckethead | Heya. How can I reboot Hardy and not have it restart everything that was running before the shutdown? | 21:59 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | buckethead: make sure they're closed before shutting down | 21:59 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | kde restarts everything that was running before by default. | 21:59 |
| buckethead | Haha. I think I have something sneaky going on. That was my simple man troubleshooting. | 22:00 |

| deamon3 | i want install vista Theme in ubuntu ?¿ | 22:04 |
| HollowPoint | why? | 22:05 |
| deamon3 | lol | 22:05 |
| TameLion | deamon3: I've seen some nice vista-style themes in emerald | 22:06 |
| pucko- | why don't firefox recognize common mimetypes? is there some automatic way to make it use the default kde mimetypes? | 22:06 |
| buckethead | This is new.. Why does dbus-send want administrative privledges? | 22:06 |
| HollowPoint | is it gnome or KDE? | 22:06 |
| TameLion | deamon3: Are you using kde or gnome? | 22:06 |
| TameLion | hehe | 22:06 |
| deamon3 | KDE | 22:06 |
| HollowPoint | go have a look at kde-look.org | 22:06 |
| HollowPoint | www.kde-look.org | 22:06 |
| HollowPoint | plenty of themes there | 22:06 |
| deamon3 | how can i install ?¿ | 22:07 |
| cyberbird | vista are ugly | 22:07 |
| HollowPoint | once you've got the theme it's relatively easy these days | 22:07 |
| buckethead | Daisuke-Laptop: I figured out my problem.. 'Thunderbird can't start because it is already running' apparently can also happen when the profile is on an unmounted volume. I'm sure I could've figured it out without bothering you, If I had some idea of what I was doing LOL! | 22:07 |
| matija | I need some help with kubuntu. I installed it fresh today and I cant use tab completion in console. Is there anything that I need to install/fix for this ??? | 22:11 |
| HollowPoint | you can't use tab completion in a bash shell? | 22:11 |
| matija | yeah | 22:12 |
| === mike_ is now known as ZZZ-Man | ||
| buckethead | matija: It works for me, But I always get annoyed at it when I get the caps wrong. | 22:12 |
| sensae | I didn't find it in the manpages - how do I make cp recursively copy hidden directories? | 22:12 |
| buckethead | Which is 96% of the time. | 22:12 |
| HollowPoint | cp -R /the/directory | 22:12 |
| sensae | HollowPoint: It ignored them | 22:12 |
| HollowPoint | :S | 22:12 |
| matija | well I'm really annoyed with this problem coz I use terminal a lot. For example I just wanted to install something with sudo apt-get install and except for sudo it cant autocomplete anything else | 22:13 |
| helpy2 | matija did you try tab ? | 22:13 |
| matija | especially when you dont know the package name and pressing TAB only gets that annoying error sound. | 22:13 |
| matija | lol | 22:13 |
| helpy2 | heh | 22:13 |
| helpy2 | atleast you should know package name dude | 22:13 |
| helpy2 | konsole is not YOUR mind. | 22:14 |
| matija | yeah but if you dont know the COMPLETE name tab completion comes in handy | 22:14 |
| matija | if I cant fix this its back to gnome for good | 22:14 |
| matija | and yeah | 22:14 |
| helpy2 | it completes for me matija | 22:14 |
| matija | konsole IS my mind | 22:14 |
| helpy2 | i am using hardy | 22:14 |
| helpy2 | lol ofcourse it isnt | 22:14 |
| matija | me too | 22:14 |
| matija | 8.04 | 22:14 |
| HollowPoint | well I just tried it in my own bash shell, it seems it doesn't auto complete until you're quite far through the word, for example sudo only autocompletes after getting to sud | 22:14 |
| helpy2 | you just can't write c and expect matija to convert it into compiz | 22:15 |
| helpy2 | because alot of packages start with c | 22:15 |
| HollowPoint | and apt-get only auto-completes after apt-g | 22:15 |
| jabba | any idea how i can get the virtualbox-ose-modules upgraded for the -18 kernel? | 22:15 |
| matija | helpy2, your everything except what your nick says | 22:15 |
| HollowPoint | open the package manager jabba, the search virtualboxose | 22:15 |
| helpy2 | lol | 22:15 |
| buckethead | So you're saying I should be able to type 'sudo apt' <tab> and it will give me the '-get'? That seems a bit much to handle. | 22:15 |
| helpy2 | matija: i accept. i am new | 22:15 |
| jabba | HollowPoint: yeah, -16 and -17 are there, but not -18 | 22:15 |
| helpy2 | but it works for me. | 22:15 |
| helpy2 | i was trying to make this point :) | 22:15 |
| === helpy2 is now known as helpy | ||
| HollowPoint | are you sure you're using the -18 kernel? | 22:15 |
| matija | HollowPoint, its normal to auto complete after apt-g because there are other commands | 22:16 |
| jabba | HollowPoint: you can set the order of your completions | 22:16 |
| Mojo_risin | hi. is it possible to install 4.1 right away, in a hardy fresh installation? | 22:16 |
| Pennycook_ | matija: Have you got any tab completion at all, or is it only affecting sudo? | 22:16 |
| naderman | so anyone have any ideas why the alternate install cd could fail to load the partitioning tool? | 22:16 |
| matija | Pennycook_, well it completes apt-g when I type just that. When I just sudo apt-g it doesnt. It seems that it completes only first command | 22:16 |
| HollowPoint | naderman bad CD or the CD doesn't like your sata/ide hardware | 22:17 |
| buckethead | I'm not qualified to speak in this channel. You guys have a good one. | 22:17 |
| naderman | the CD is fine | 22:17 |
| helpy | ok i have google earth binary downloaded | 22:17 |
| matija | Pennycook_, any idea ?? | 22:17 |
| helpy | how do i install that ? | 22:17 |
| HollowPoint | how can you guarantee that? | 22:17 |
| naderman | well at least the integrity check succeeded | 22:18 |
| matija | or should I go with reinstall | 22:18 |
| naderman | and the possibility of it being broken when that succeeds is rather low | 22:18 |
| HollowPoint | right, doesn't neccessarily mean it's a good cd, you may have downloaded a cd where the installer has been edited by the devs and they've made a slip up, happened to me once before | 22:18 |
| naderman | hmm | 22:18 |
| HollowPoint | bad cd doesn't neccessarily mean it's damaged or the data is unsound, could be a buggy release | 22:18 |
| * jabba <3 yakuake | 22:19 | |
| HollowPoint | especially on the alt cd because as I understand it thats permanently experimental because it fixes bugs on the main cd | 22:19 |
| * HollowPoint agrees with jabba | 22:19 | |
| HollowPoint | naderman are you on sata or pata drives? | 22:19 |
| Pennycook_ | matija: vim .bashrc | 22:19 |
| naderman | it's a laptop | 22:19 |
| naderman | no idea whatit uses | 22:20 |
| HollowPoint | do you know if the drive is sata or pata? | 22:20 |
| HollowPoint | ah ok | 22:20 |
| naderman | I neither have it here, nor is it mine :D | 22:20 |
| matija | Pennycook_, meaning ? | 22:20 |
| HollowPoint | ah | 22:20 |
| naderman | I'm trying to install ubuntu on it via phone :/ | 22:20 |
| HollowPoint | well what kind of laptop is it? | 22:20 |
| naderman | fujitsu siemens | 22:20 |
| HollowPoint | how old? | 22:20 |
| matija | fsc is garbage new. imagine when its old | 22:20 |
| Pennycook_ | matija: Sorry. Run "vim ~/.bashrc" in the terminal. If the last three lines are commented, uncomment them (remove the # from the beginning of each line), log out and then log back in. | 22:20 |
| === mike_ is now known as mike_ekoka | ||
| naderman | relatively new, some opteron cpu and a radeon x1200 graphics card | 22:21 |
| naderman | guess I could check for more detailed info on it | 22:21 |
| HollowPoint | ok, any idea of the model? | 22:21 |
| naderman | I'll ask | 22:21 |
| HollowPoint | ok | 22:21 |
| matija | Pennycook_, theres nothing in ~/.bashrc | 22:21 |
| HollowPoint | did you run it as root matija? | 22:22 |
| matija | yeah | 22:22 |
| helpy | http://earth.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=44713 | 22:22 |
| matija | and no | 22:22 |
| helpy | its not working | 22:22 |
| matija | tried both | 22:22 |
| helpy | i can't install binary | 22:22 |
| HollowPoint | k | 22:22 |
| Pennycook_ | matija: Ah, that might explain it then. Try editing /etc/bash.bashrc instead (that's the global configuration file). | 22:22 |
| matija | and as much as I remember there is file bash.bashrc in /etc | 22:22 |
| Pennycook_ | matija: Yeah, that's right. ~/.bashrc is supposed to be your own personal one. | 22:23 |
| matija | there are bash.bashrc , bash_completion and bash_completion.d | 22:23 |
| matija | should I uncomment enable bash completion in interactive shells ? | 22:24 |
| naderman | Daisuke-Laptop: However, this can also be accomplished by using LVPM, the Loopmounted Virtual Partition Manager, to transfer the Wubi-generated Ubuntu installation to a dedicated real partition, including a bootable USB keydrive.[1] The advantage of this setup is that users can test the operating system and install the drivers before they install it to a dedicated partition (and avoid booting and functioning risks). | 22:25 |
| === Az1mov is now known as Azimov | ||
| Pennycook_ | matija: Yeah, those three lines. | 22:27 |
| matija | tried and not working | 22:27 |
| matija | maybe I should kill X and login again ? | 22:27 |
| Pennycook_ | matija: You may need to log out and log back in. Yeah. | 22:27 |
| matija | lemme just try taht | 22:27 |
| naderman | HollowPoint: Amilo X is as far as I can get :/ | 22:28 |
| naderman | well I guess I wasn't right when I thought ubuntu was so easy to install by now that it'd just work :( | 22:29 |
| pucko- | what's the app called where I change my desktop resolution in kde? (need to run it from command line) | 22:29 |
| matija | Pennycook_, heh dude. works. now lets hope I dont get anymore kde crashes and everything will be fine | 22:29 |
| naderman | HollowPoint: ah she did find it: AMILO Pa 2510 | 22:30 |
| Pennycook_ | matija: You might want to see about getting a copy of somebody's ~/.bashrc for the future. The global one might be overwritten by updates. | 22:30 |
| sensae | Okay, what happens to files if they get mounted on top of? | 22:30 |
| _Angelus_ | anyone tried kde4.1 beta 1? | 22:30 |
| matija | is this normal for kubuntu ?? I didnt have those problems with ubuntu | 22:30 |
| sensae | I'm trying to move my home folder to an NFS share - I copied all files, including hidden ones to the NFS share, then I mounted it over my home expecting an error - it crashed my entire system. | 22:31 |
| HollowPoint | naderman I can't find any specific bug reports on that model but have seen plenty for other fujitsu laptops | 22:33 |
| sensae | Somehow it interferes with DCOP and brings the whole system down | 22:33 |
| HollowPoint | quite a few reporting pairtitioner not working | 22:33 |
| andrea | hello someone can help me whit dial up?? | 22:35 |
| naderman | HollowPoint: I'm trying wubi now, maybe that'll work | 22:37 |
