| MachinTrucChose | Firefox 3 is out?! How come there's no major announcement (Admittedly I only checked Slashdot) | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| HollowPoint | it's TC MachinTrucChose | 00:01 |
| HollowPoint | RC* | 00:01 |
| HollowPoint | not the actual release | 00:01 |
| MachinTrucChose | why doesn't it say RC in the version then? | 00:01 |
| HollowPoint | it does, lol, I updated to it this morning and it's RC2 if I remember correctly | 00:02 |
| MachinTrucChose | you'd expect a RC to be marked as such | 00:02 |
| MachinTrucChose | mine just says "3.0" | 00:02 |
| HollowPoint | where does it just say 3.0? | 00:02 |
| MachinTrucChose | Help > About Mozilla Firefox | 00:02 |
| coucouf | yes, you can't see it in the browser, but the package version is RCx | 00:03 |
| MachinTrucChose | I see | 00:03 |
| MachinTrucChose | well, it's very uncool. | 00:03 |
| coucouf | lol | 00:03 |
| HollowPoint | firefox is? Or the way they haven't stuck RC all over it? | 00:03 |
| MachinTrucChose | the latter | 00:03 |
| HollowPoint | ah, well I updated mine last night to the latest RC and when I booted up this morning I was greated by a web page announcing the release of RC2, were you not given the same page? | 00:04 |
| sixpence | Hey, what command can I run to see what flavor of ubuntu is currently on my box? | 00:05 |
| MachinTrucChose | the person previously using the computer must have gotten that | 00:05 |
| genii | sixpence: lsb_release -a | 00:06 |
| coucouf | adept will tell you the truth about firefox | 00:06 |
| sixpence | genii: Danke =] | 00:06 |
| genii | sixpence: Bitte | 00:07 |
| coucouf | cool, I didn't know this command ! | 00:07 |
| coucouf | is it ubuntu-specific ? | 00:07 |
| genii | coucouf: I think all debian based dists work with it | 00:07 |
| coucouf | ok thanks | 00:07 |
| greatgib | lsb c'est censé etre un referentiel du materiel pour toutes les distrib | 00:07 |
| MachinTrucChose | anyway, anyone know what I should do to install a dual-boot Windows? First, can I just create a 20gb partition on an existing drive, or do I have to worry about it not being among the first 1gb or whatever of the drive (ie, bootloader issues). Also, what happens to GRUB then? | 00:07 |
| genii | !fr | greatgib | 00:08 |
| ubottu | greatgib: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr | 00:08 |
| greatgib | coucouf:c'est dans le meme style que freedesktop pour le matos | 00:08 |
| greatgib | Lol sorry, juste a coucouf specific response :) | 00:08 |
| coucouf | the position of the windows partition doesn't matter you will use GRUB as a bootloader anyway | 00:10 |
| coucouf | be carefull though, windows will replace GRUB so you'll have to reinstall it. Check the litterature on the subject before doing so. | 00:10 |
| MachinTrucChose | coucouf: how can Windows replace GRUB if it is installed on an ext3 partition? | 00:13 |
| genii | MachinTrucChose: The core part is not on some subpartition but rather the master boot record of the drive | 00:16 |
| MachinTrucChose | quick question, how can I delete a folder without moving to Trash? It's a 5gb file and it's trying to move it to a TRash folder on a different partition | 00:16 |
| Odd-rationale | MachinTrucChose: shift+del usually works | 00:17 |
| MachinTrucChose | genii: I see, OK. I thought the MBR was written on the first x megabytes of the drive. I'll read up on how to recover GRUB after installing Windows. Thanks. | 00:17 |
| MachinTrucChose | Odd: I tried that in Konqueror, it didn't work...but with Dolphin it does. Cool beans. | 00:18 |
| georgewp | what program would I need to run a perl script? | 00:19 |
| georgewp | !perl script | 00:19 |
| ubottu | Factoid perl script not found | 00:19 |
| georgewp | !perl | 00:19 |
| ubottu | Factoid perl not found | 00:19 |
| ek | Haha. | 00:19 |
| georgewp | well my system selected wine to run them | 00:19 |
| georgewp | funny or not im a newb | 00:20 |
| ek | georgewp: I wasn't laughing at you. Sorry if it seemed that way. | 00:20 |
| ek | georgewp: You would just use perl to run it. | 00:20 |
| georgewp | k | 00:20 |
| ek | perl /path/to/script or just execute the script itself using /path/to/script | 00:20 |
| ek | As perl's path in the executable SHOULD be correct. | 00:21 |
| genii | !info perl | 00:21 |

| georgewp | BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at curse-install line 3. | 00:22 |
| georgewp | Thats the error I got from the script | 00:22 |
| ek | georgewp: You're going to have to add the extra perl modules that the script calls for. | 00:23 |
| ek | georgewp: You can either do this inside perl itself, or use apt-get to install them. | 00:23 |
| MachinTrucChose | one more question, and I'm sorry for piling them on...does resizing a partition delete its contents? ie, I have a 160gb partition with 100gb of free space. I want to create a 20gb partition, hopefully from that 100gb free space without affecting the existing60gb. | 00:23 |
| ek | georgewp: Check out: apt-cache search perl versions | 00:23 |
| ek | MachinTrucChose: Not if you do it correctly, no. | 00:24 |
| georgewp | what would you suggest | 00:24 |
| MachinTrucChose | ek: I'm using gparted for that purpose. | 00:24 |
| ek | MachinTrucChose: Not very familiar with it. But, my guess is your data should remain. | 00:24 |
| MachinTrucChose | OK | 00:24 |
| ek | ... as long as it isn't in the delete/relocated area anyway. | 00:24 |
| ek | georgewp: I would suggest using apt-get. That way updates to the modules will be noticed. | 00:25 |
| georgewp | and i cant decipher form that error which packages to get | 00:26 |
| ek | georgewp: You need Sort::Versions | 00:26 |
| ek | georgewp: It's at the beginning of the error. | 00:26 |
| ek | So, the package will maybe be called something like perl5-Sort-Versions...? | 00:27 |
| ek | Not sure. | 00:27 |
| ubu | hi | 00:28 |
| georgewp | how would i do a search for that to find the apt-get line | 00:29 |
| georgewp | trying kubuntu perl5 sort versions gives me a bunch of garbage | 00:29 |
| georgewp | in google | 00:29 |
| ek | georgewp: I see "libsort-versions-perl" | 00:31 |
| ek | In fact, I'm almost positive that's the correct package. | 00:32 |
| jtisme | cant get streaming internet sound to play 8.04 any ideas | 00:32 |

| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | hello, I just installed kubuntu from ubuntu, and I noticed the adept-updater when I first came into the OS but I cant seem to find a way to turn it on manually now that it has rebooted. adept manager doesnt seem to be helping me either. Can anyone point me in the right direction? | 00:34 |
| jtisme | ek streaming from www.wgst.com live radio | 00:34 |
| georgewp | No addons dir at curse-install line 8. damn its one thing after another with this, i supose i need to edit the file | 00:34 |
| jtisme | Boohbah, yes according to about:plugins | 00:34 |
| ek | _0tt0v0nc4t_: Open a terminal (Konsole) and type: adept_updater | 00:35 |
| georgewp | $ADDONS_DIR=$ENV{'ADDONS_DIR'}; <--- thats what the script is looking for and returns die "No addons dir" if !defined $ADDONS_DIR; that sucks. | 00:35 |
| ek | _0tt0v0nc4t_: You can also use the Adept Manager by selecting to show only updatable/upgradable packages the same way. | 00:35 |
| _0tt0v0nc4t_ | ek: thank you | 00:35 |
| ek | Welcome. | 00:35 |

| jtisme | ek thanks | 00:36 |
| jhutchins | ek: Some good stuff out there, lotsa garbage. | 00:38 |
| ek | jtisme: Make sure your volume isn't muted. :P | 00:38 |
| ek | jhutchins: Indeed. | 00:38 |
| ek | I don't have the mplayer plugin here at work. So, it's hard to test. | 00:39 |
| ek | And I'm leaving like, now-ish. | 00:39 |
| jtisme | ek it isnt muted i get good sound out of cat /bin/ls >/dev/dsp | 00:39 |
| ek | Otherwise, I'd just install it. | 00:39 |
| ek | jtisme: Hrm. Okay. I wonder if mplayer isn't opening the correct audio device maybe? | 00:39 |
| ek | jtisme: Can you watch videos okay using mplayer? | 00:39 |
| jhutchins | jtisme: You might try playing it with amarok if you have that configured, or xine (which is what amarok uses). | 00:40 |
| ek | Yeah. That might work. | 00:41 |
| jtisme | ek yes I can watch videos and with sound | 00:41 |
| ek | Although, I'm unsure whether wgst.com tosses out .pls files. | 00:41 |

| ek | jtisme: Hrm. I'm all out of ideas. I don't mess around with much media stuffs. Especially internet media stuff. =/ Sorry I couldn't be of more help. | 00:42 |
| jtisme | ek I am not new to linux but very new to sound .pls ?? | 00:42 |
| ek | jtisme: The little streaming playlist files you can download. | 00:42 |
| jtisme | ek oh ok | 00:42 |
| ek | Tells your client what server:port to connect to for the stream. | 00:42 |
| ek | Check around on their site. They might have them. | 00:43 |

| keaton | Every time I download a kernel upgrade, it keeps the old one on my grub boot menu. Is there any way to prevent this and/or remove the old ones? | 01:06 |

| maduser | to remove them from grub edit the menu.lst | 01:09 |
| lsemple2 | how do I install kubuntu to my hd ??????? | 01:09 |
| lsemple2 | live-cd ??? | 01:09 |
| keaton | Thanks, maduser. | 01:09 |
| maduser | you may want to keep the old ones in grub, but just move the new ones to the top | 01:10 |
| maduser | the top one will boot automaticaly | 01:10 |
| keaton | It does that on it's own, but it gets irritating. I'm kind of a neat freak about my computer. | 01:10 |
| maduser | move the old ones below that to have backups incase of error | 01:11 |
| lsemple2 | how do I install kubuntu to my hd ? | 01:11 |
| lsemple2 | live cd ? | 01:11 |
| keaton | lsemple2: You can download the live CD, burn it onto a disc, then run it and you'll boot into what's called a live installation of Kubuntu, it runs right off the CD without even touching your HD. | 01:11 |
| keaton | Once you're in there, you can run the "Install" shortcut on the desktop to install it to the hard drive. | 01:12 |
| Olgem | Remember to set your BIOS to boot from the installation media | 01:12 |
| keaton | What he said. | 01:12 |
| lsemple2 | keaton: I tried the alternate installer cd and I can't boot from my kubuntu installation | 01:12 |
| lsemple2 | grub is not set up properly | 01:12 |
| maduser | or the boot flag is not set to that partition | 01:13 |
| keaton | Huh, that's weird. I'm not sure why it wouldn't insert itself into the grub list. | 01:13 |
| maduser | lsemple2: multiple partions? | 01:13 |
| lsemple2 | well its installed to sdc1 | 01:13 |
| lsemple2 | sda, sdb are storage | 01:14 |
| lsemple2 | sdc is my primary | 01:14 |
| maduser | windows on the computer as well as kubunu? | 01:14 |
| lsemple2 | I am thinking of just downloading the live cd and installing it from there | 01:14 |
| lsemple2 | no | 01:14 |
| maduser | on live cd click install and then install to the hd | 01:15 |
| lsemple2 | yeah thats probably the easiest | 01:15 |
| lsemple2 | that alternate installer cd screwed over my xubuntu too | 01:16 |
| maduser | thats best for upgrades | 01:16 |
| lsemple2 | useless cd | 01:16 |
| lsemple2 | (well to me anyway) | 01:16 |
| maduser | you download it so that you can upgrade a current instalation | 01:16 |

| rvk | hi, are there any new releases of kubuntu 8.04? | 01:16 |
| lsemple2 | I am on a live cd right now (kanotix), I wonder if it is possible to download and burn the kubuntu live cd ?? | 01:17 |
| maduser | its possible | 01:17 |
| lsemple2 | while running on a live cd | 01:17 |
| maduser | but you have to download the cd to a mounted media | 01:17 |
| Odd-rationale | lsemple2: do you have 2 cd burners? | 01:18 |
| lsemple2 | yeah | 01:18 |
| Odd-rationale | lsemple2: yes it possible then... | 01:18 |
| jals | any of you tried peachy dock? | 01:18 |
| lsemple2 | can someone confirm that this is the correct download for kubuntu live cd ? http://www.kubuntu.org/download.php#latest | 01:19 |
| Odd-rationale | lsemple2: YES | 01:19 |
| lsemple2 | top link (8.04 hardy heron) | 01:19 |
| Odd-rationale | lsemple2: yes. i would not reccomend the kde4 remix atm... | 01:20 |
| rvk | why not kde4 remix? | 01:20 |
| Odd-rationale | rvk: lsemple2 is rather new... | 01:20 |
| lsemple2 | ok | 01:21 |
| lsemple2 | I was told to stick with kde3 as well | 01:21 |
| lsemple2 | kde4 has tons of bugs | 01:21 |
| lsemple2 | I need something that wont crash on me every day | 01:21 |
| Odd-rationale | the kde4 remix is still incomplete in some areas. imo. although it is quite stable | 01:21 |
| lsemple2 | well should I get kde4 or kde3 ?? | 01:22 |
| jaime | kd3 | 01:22 |
| Odd-rationale | kde3 for now... | 01:22 |
| jaime | kde4 is very incomplete, is in process of testing | 01:22 |
| jaime | try kde3 and then when a stable version goes up you can change | 01:23 |
| lsemple2 | k good cause I already started downloading kde3 :) | 01:23 |

| dthacker | JuJuBee: I have no preference | 01:46 |
| mr---t | what | 01:46 |
| JuJuBee | So reading/writing NTFS from linux is same as reading/writing ext3 from windows? | 01:46 |
| JuJuBee | Equally reliable? | 01:47 |
| RiotingPacifist | JuJuBee: which are you going to use more? support both ways is fairly good but still 'experimental' | 01:47 |
| HollowPoint | JuJuBee I presonally have 3 other drives than my main OS drive and I have all three set to NTFS even though I don't have a Windows dual boot anymore, lol, it's purely by force of habit | 01:47 |

| RiotingPacifist | _CrashMaster_: with composting off it should be about par with 3, ofc once you start using kde3 & 4 apps together then your ram goes bye bye | 01:56 |
| RiotingPacifist | JuJuBee: yeah in kde4 you can add a menu that lists all the apps (including kde3 ones) so you can use them side by side | 01:56 |

| [Relic] | Hello :) | 02:18 |
| _2 | does anyone think they might know what is "doing it" to my connection ? | 02:18 |
| [Relic] | Anyone know of anyway , that will actually work w/o problems, to get the nvidia proprietory drivers reinstalled? | 02:18 |
| _2 | [Relic] | 02:18 |
| PhoenixGI | Relic whats going on. | 02:19 |
| PhoenixGI | _2 User error???? j/k :) | 02:20 |
| [Relic] | everytime I try the nvidia one it won't start x | 02:20 |
| [Relic] | locks up in trying it | 02:20 |
| PhoenixGI | Which nVidia one, which nvidia card | 02:20 |
| [Relic] | the nvidia new the nv apparently works but no glx | 02:21 |
| [Relic] | just DL from nvidia and install? I can't seem to find the restricted version in the hardware thing anymore | 02:21 |
| PhoenixGI | What nVidia Card do you have? | 02:21 |
| _2 | PhoenixGI maybe it's that pebcak thing i keep hearing about ? | 02:21 |

| _CrashMaster_ | X won't start. Fatal Server Error: Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for all framebuffer devices. This occurs after I have deleted xorg.conf* | 02:23 |
| Boohbah | _CrashMaster_: so what is your question? isn't it obvious that X won't work if you delete the conf?! | 02:24 |
| NickPresta | _CrashMaster_, don't run with framebuffer support | 02:24 |
| PhoenixGI | [Relic] hmmm yeah the "New" driver should work. I used the one in Apt, not the one direct from nvidia... course they should be the same thing, as they are perpriotory | 02:24 |
| _2 | _CrashMaster_ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -plow | 02:24 |
| _CrashMaster_ | Boohbah, I suppose my question is "how can I make a new xorg.conf ? | 02:24 |
| Boohbah | _CrashMaster_: run 'X -configure' | 02:25 |
| _2 | Boohbah ? | 02:25 |
| Boohbah | _2: ? | 02:25 |
| _2 | 'X -configure' < ??? | 02:26 |
| Boohbah | _2: runs an interactive X configuration script | 02:26 |
| Boohbah | that will spit out an xorg.conf | 02:26 |
| _2 | really, find a new tweek every day | 02:27 |
| _CrashMaster_ | 2: 10 points. Many thanks. | 02:27 |
| _2 | welcome. | 02:27 |
| Boohbah | _2: your suggestion to use dpkg is probably best | 02:27 |
| _2 | Boohbah i didn't even know that -configure was a switch for X but it does spit out a config file "in the $PWD thought." | 02:29 |
| _2 | and on my system fails for normal users of course. | 02:29 |

| ubottu | this is not what you want either PhoenixGI: mail is another medium to communicate. Ubuntu mailinglists can be found at http://lists.ubuntu.com | 02:36 |
| _2 | derekS no. | 02:36 |
| PhoenixGI | _2 Thanks :P hehe, derek Kubuntu without the GUI? | 02:36 |
| derekS | _2: how would i do it thien... | 02:36 |
| PhoenixGI | isn't that just Ubuntu server? | 02:36 |
| derekS | PhoenixGI: yeah, but i wanted kubuntu when i first installed it, now i don't :) | 02:37 |
| derekS | i normally didn't care, but upgrading from edgy to hardy is taking forever | 02:37 |
| _2 | derekS ummm maybe something like sudo apt-get remove xserver* but i'm not sure that will get everything. | 02:37 |
| derekS | well, i am not afraid of getting too little, i just don't want too much... | 02:38 |
| _2 | there are packages that run in X that don't depend on X and libs that x depends on that don't depend on X so.... | 02:38 |
| derekS | i can aplways dpkg -l to see whats left... | 02:38 |
| derekS | so xserver* is a better way? | 02:38 |
| derekS | i'll try that once edgy -> feisty is done | 02:38 |
| angasule | gah, just installed 8.04 with KDE4 (AMD64), even the panel is buggy as heck :/ | 02:40 |
| derekS | _2: hmm, neither of those do that much | 02:40 |
| _2 | not afraid of "too little" hmmm i can fix that.... as root; for q in `dpkg -l | grep ^ii | cut -d' ' -f3` ;do apt-get remove -y $q ;apt-get install -f ;done ;apt-get install ssh ubuntu-base ubuntu-minimal <<< and it will take some time to step through all the packages to see what can be removed and what cant | 02:41 |
| eross | if i update to bzip2 manually (1.05), then all of a sudden the repo pops up with v1.05 in there, will it mess up my repository or break a package if it let me install it? | 02:41 |
| _2 | derekS that will clean out your system like a large dose of salts | 02:41 |

| ad_ | HELLO Everyone | 02:44 |
| PhoenixGI | ello ad_ | 02:44 |
| _2 | derekS complicated ? nothing really complicated about that string. a for loop that calls three commands each time it acts acting upon the list of installed packages parsed from dpkg and filtered with grep and cut nothing complicated about it. | 02:46 |
| ad_ | ？ | 02:46 |
| _2 | to see what it would do; for q in `dpkg -l | grep ^ii | cut -d' ' -f3` ;do echo "apt-get remove -y $q " ;done | 02:47 |

| _CrashMaster_ | Yeah, Im looking at it now. | 02:56 |
| _CrashMaster_ | I would have been more than mildly irritated. | 02:56 |

| _2 | only way i have found is to do that clean up thingy but you might be satisfied with a few stray packages lying around. i was only building on your statement of "not afraid of getting too little" :) | 03:02 |
| derekS | _2: yeah, my biggest concern is that i want the upgrades to go quick | 03:03 |
| _2 | and your question about hal was either in ignorance or not worth answering. it may remove hal but it will put it back, and no you dont need it on a headless box. | 03:03 |
| derekS | so no kde, no xorg, etc | 03:03 |
| derekS | hmm, what is hal then? | 03:03 |
| derekS | i thought it was a hardware layer | 03:04 |
| _2 | hardware abstraction layer | 03:04 |
| derekS | yea | 03:04 |
| derekS | so why isn't it needed? | 03:04 |
| derekS | is it only for gui's? | 03:04 |

| derekS | well, i think i am going to start by getting clear of kde, then go through dpkg -l to see what else can be removed | 03:05 |
| _2 | the -y switch on the apt-get remove will prevent removing of essential packages. | 03:06 |

| jhutchins | jals: More cpu, more ram. | 03:31 |

| _2 | k | 04:14 |
| haryono | ok thanks | 04:15 |

| [Relic] | not having any luck getting any nvidia restricted driver installed :( | 04:19 |
| _2 | ): | 04:20 |
| [Relic] | anything short of installing a different distribution that will let me have my coretemps and nvidia restricted drivers? | 04:20 |
| [Relic] | even tried downloading directly from nvidia site | 04:21 |
| _2 | lmsensors package ? the restricted manager from the gnome/ubuntu install ? tried those ideas ? | 04:21 |
| PhoenixGI | [Relic] wish I could help more... When I enabled the Nvida drivers, it all just worked for me. | 04:21 |
| haryono | cant run audio/video player and kubuntu webcam pls | 04:22 |
| [Relic] | PhoenixGI, built a new kernel for the coretemps, but haven't succeeded in getting nvidia drivers back :( | 04:23 |
| DaSkreech | haryono: Which player? | 04:23 |
| _2 | [Relic] ah you haven't compiled the nvidia modules for the new kernel yet ? | 04:23 |
| haryono | amarok /kafeine | 04:24 |
| [Relic] | thought that was done by the nvidia download | 04:24 |
| _2 | [Relic] i think <keyword) that you have to compile the module if you have a non-stock kernel. | 04:24 |
| DaSkreech | haryono: They won't open? | 04:24 |
| [Relic] | it said it had to do that and did it | 04:25 |
| haryono | cant open | 04:25 |
| [Relic] | supposedly | 04:25 |
| _2 | [Relic] hmmm (blind leading the blind) find /lib/modules/ -iname *nvidia* | 04:25 |
| _2 | [Relic] see if they show up in the running kernel version `uname -r` ^ | 04:26 |
| [Relic] | yes they do | 04:27 |
| haryono | when i insert cd in cdrom driver its only appear dolphin.? | 04:28 |
| _2 | [Relic] ummm sudo modprobe nvidia<what ever was in the find list> ? | 04:28 |
| _2 | do they error out ? | 04:28 |
| _2 | haryono that's kde4 there is dedicated channel for that also /join #kubuntu-kde4 | 04:30 |
| _2 | !kde4 | 04:30 |
| ubottu | KDE 4.0.4 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.4.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 | 04:30 |
| [Relic] | one loaded | 04:30 |

| _2 | [Relic] which one ? | 04:31 |
| haryono | mine is kde 3.how to get kde4? | 04:31 |
| dwidmann_laptop | haryono: dolphin or d3lphin? | 04:31 |
| dwidmann_laptop | haryono: sudo apt-get install dolphin-kde4 | 04:31 |
| _2 | dolphin is a kde4 app | 04:31 |
| DaSkreech | haryono: are you in KDE3? | 04:31 |
| dwidmann_laptop | I can't guarentee that will work any better for you, however, haryono | 04:31 |
| _2 | d3lphin would be it's kde3 backport | 04:31 |
| DaSkreech | _2: why are you assuming that cause he has Dolphin he has KDE4? | 04:31 |
| dwidmann_laptop | The action menus have been lacking thus far in dolphin. | 04:32 |
| _2 | DaSkreech the name ? | 04:32 |
| dwidmann_laptop | DaSkreech: maybe b ecause the person said dolphin instead of d3lphin? | 04:32 |
| haryono | dolphin only read maybe | 04:32 |
| [Relic] | _2, nvidiafb | 04:32 |
| haryono | im in kde3 | 04:32 |
| _2 | [Relic] ummm that's not good. that's the one you don't want. | 04:33 |
| haryono | ok dwidman i try | 04:33 |
| DaSkreech | _2: It says Dolphin on the App | 04:33 |
| _2 | DaSkreech so help him. | 04:33 |

| [Relic] | _2, xorg.conf is blank so I am not sure what is being loaded to allow things to run | 04:33 |
| _2 | [Relic] yeah i'm not familear with what they are using in place of xorg.conf in hardy.+ | 04:34 |
| haryono | when o klik amarok appear amarok playlist in the box | 04:35 |
| [Relic] | older versions (backups) are full of stuff | 04:35 |
| _2 | [Relic] used to be as simple as; sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -plow # but they tell me that that command doesn't help in the newest release | 04:35 |
| DaSkreech | haryono: Which box? | 04:35 |
| haryono | amarok is open up but the playlist is not the one in my unserted cd | 04:35 |
| josh | Im trying to change my userid using: sudo usermod -u 1001 <my username> .. when I restart X and login it gives me a lot of problems .. what do i do? | 04:35 |
| haryono | the box when i klik amarok from multi media | 04:36 |
| DaSkreech | josh: your files are still owned by 1000 | 04:36 |
| haryono | multi media in KDE Menu | 04:36 |
| _2 | josh in a console "own your home" sudo chown -R $USER $HOME | 04:36 |
| josh | ok | 04:37 |
| DaSkreech | haryono: Ah umm | 04:37 |

| DaSkreech | haryono: On amarok there is a menu on the top left that says Amarok | 04:37 |

| dana | hello | 04:44 |
| DaSkreech | !hi | 04:44 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 04:44 |
| dana | anyone there? | 04:44 |
| smAs | haryono: amakok opens and it starts in playlist ??? than change to whatever you want ... context, collection, file ... | 04:44 |
| _2 | dana nope. | 04:44 |
| dana | thanka haha | 04:44 |
| dana | thanks* | 04:44 |
| dana | i know this really isn't the place, but is there a place to find like RP Taverns and schtuff? | 04:45 |
| DaSkreech | What's an RP tavern? | 04:45 |
| PhoenixGI | RolePlay Tavern? | 04:45 |
| * Guest599 fax me a beer | 04:46 | |
| * DaSkreech tries to imagine how he would roleplay a Tavern | 04:46 | |
| * _2 thinks all the world is RPG | 04:46 | |
| haryono | Amarok box open and the title on the top is Amarok Playlist | 04:46 |
| DaSkreech | Hary awww what now? | 04:46 |
| * [Relic] thinks _2 is silly, you are all just a figment of my demented imagination :) | 04:46 | |
| smAs | haryono: amakok opens and it starts in playlist ??? than change to whatever you want ... context, collection, file ... | 04:46 |
| dana | lmao | 04:47 |
| dana | i just realized what i said | 04:47 |
| DaSkreech | Oh good | 04:47 |
| DaSkreech | cause I still have no clue | 04:47 |
| * PhoenixGI bangs head on desk.... | 04:50 | |
| _2 | headdesk! | 04:50 |
| PhoenixGI | With everything else so easy here, why is using a DVD drive so diffacult | 04:50 |
| DaSkreech | haryono: on Amarok Playlist there is an Amarok menu | 04:50 |
| DaSkreech | it should say Play Audio CD | 04:50 |
| DaSkreech | haryono: Do you have a preffered language? | 04:50 |
| DaSkreech | PhoenixGI: you press the one button on the front and it comes out | 04:51 |
| haryono | indonesia | 04:51 |
| DaSkreech | you apply a disc or take one out and press it again | 04:51 |
| smAs | hati hati :) | 04:51 |
| DaSkreech | !indonesia | 04:51 |
| ubottu | join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia | 04:51 |
| PhoenixGI | DaSkreech hehe yeah that part works, just writing it is were I seem to be having issues. | 04:52 |
| DaSkreech | PhoenixGI: k3b failed? | 04:52 |
| haryono | but in ubuntu no one know kubuntu | 04:52 |
| PhoenixGI | DaSkreech: errr k3b? | 04:53 |
| DaSkreech | PhoenixGI: You are burning a DVd? | 04:53 |
| DaSkreech | :-( | 04:53 |
| PhoenixGI | Wanted to use it for backup.... so yeah burning to dvd | 04:53 |
| PhoenixGI | if k3b is the answer, it's only a Apt-get away | 04:54 |
| PhoenixGI | err a sudo apt-get away... dang sudo command | 04:55 |
| _2 | k3b is pretty decent i like xcdroast for cd's still | 04:56 |
| DaSkreech | haryono: http://img383.imageshack.us/img383/9320/amaroksnapshot1vr0.png | 04:56 |
| DaSkreech | haryono: Thats where the play CD is | 04:56 |
| DaSkreech | PhoenixGI: are you in Kubuntu? | 04:57 |
| === william is now known as Nub | ||
| === Nub is now known as nuBB | ||
| PhoenixGI | DaSkreech yes I'm using Kubuntu | 04:57 |
| DaSkreech | PhoenixGI: alt+space -> k3b | 04:58 |
| DaSkreech | PhoenixGI: in fact alt+space -> k ;-) | 04:58 |
| PhoenixGI | Does nothing for me... kde4.0 | 04:58 |
| DaSkreech | PhoenixGI: Oooo | 04:59 |
| DaSkreech | 4.0 or 4.1 ? | 04:59 |
| PhoenixGI | 4.0 | 04:59 |
| DaSkreech | oh :-( | 04:59 |
| PhoenixGI | 4.1 had the word beta attached to it.... 4.0 should have also | 04:59 |
| DaSkreech | It had Eat children attached to it | 05:00 |
| PhoenixGI | See, that would have made me install it for sure if I saw that | 05:00 |
| DaSkreech | well .. yeah it was said and you did install it so I guess that worked out well | 05:01 |
| PhoenixGI | hehe true | 05:01 |
| _2 | so the alt+space (katapult) is just some eyecandy cpu eating alt+f2 thingy ? this is the first time i have seen katapult just got curious about it i guess. | 05:01 |
| PhoenixGI | Since I've been fighting noobness and 4.0 at the same time been tempted to just make the jump to the 4.1 beta | 05:02 |
| angasule | _2: with katapult you don't have to type in full, so you don't depend on the recent commands of alt+f2 | 05:02 |
| DaSkreech | _2: and it takes paths and things | 05:02 |
| _2 | angasule katapult is no shorter for k3b than alt+f2 is | 05:03 |
| DaSkreech | and it's a nice visual calculator | 05:03 |
| DaSkreech | _2: It is for a file 6 dirs deep in your home directory | 05:03 |
| angasule | _2: uh? k3 doesn't show 'k3b'? anyway, for konquest, it makes a difference :P | 05:03 |
| PhoenixGI | hehe thats been added to the K menu in 4 | 05:03 |
| _2 | DaSkreech heh and how would it find that ? | 05:03 |
| DaSkreech | PhoenixGI: Wait till the next beta | 05:03 |
| PhoenixGI | DaSkreech Will do | 05:04 |
| DaSkreech | _2: for me it's Doc/W/MI/t/p | 05:04 |
| DaSkreech | instead of Documents/Work/MIB/trunk/pythoninit | 05:05 |
| DaSkreech | A good deal faster | 05:05 |
| PhoenixGI | Men In Black???? Agent Dee or Agent Ess | 05:05 |
| _2 | DaSkreech heh i have symlinks for things like that, and use the cli anyway. | 05:05 |
| DaSkreech | _2: I can pull up a random Wallpaper I'm talking about to someone like that | 05:06 |
| DaSkreech | or I can pull up an album and have Amarok play it | 05:06 |
| _2 | i'll look at it again, and then turn it off ;) | 05:06 |
| epimeth | umm... what happens if you have both backports and the kde4 repository installed and you install kubuntu-kde4-desktop? | 05:07 |
| DaSkreech | _2: What would make it useful? | 05:07 |
| epimeth | does 4.0.5 take precedence or does 4.1beta? | 05:07 |
| kiltro | chile?? | 05:07 |
| DaSkreech | epimeth: newest one wins | 05:08 |
| DaSkreech | !chile | 05:08 |
| ubottu | Factoid chile not found | 05:08 |
| DaSkreech | What lang does chile speak? | 05:08 |
| DaSkreech | portugese? | 05:08 |
| kiltro | spanish | 05:08 |
| DaSkreech | !es | 05:08 |
| ubottu | En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 05:08 |
| _2 | DaSkreech nothing that i can think of. | 05:08 |
| _2 | DaSkreech i'm not a gui guy | 05:08 |
| DaSkreech | _2: Why aren't you? | 05:08 |
| _2 | why would i be ? | 05:09 |
| Ashex | has anyone else had issues with Kopete? | 05:09 |
| DaSkreech | _2: This is kinda trying to bridge that gap :) | 05:09 |
| _2 | question is dubble edged | 05:09 |
| Ashex | particularly with msn not connecting, and aim not setting status messages? | 05:09 |
| PhoenixGI | Ok, have to ask this noob question... I just accidently closed terminal while in the middle of apt-get install... what happens to my install | 05:09 |
| _2 | DaSkreech i thought konsole was supposed to do that | 05:09 |
| DaSkreech | Ashex: Near as I know MSN changed some server stuff last week (I think) so it's a bit broken right now | 05:09 |
| Ashex | DaSkreech, It's been broken for me since release | 05:09 |
| DaSkreech | _2: ahmm not quite. Konsole isn't database driven | 05:10 |
| DaSkreech | Ashex: #kopete They would have far more information than we would | 05:10 |
| Ashex | DaSkreech, kopete crashes as soon as I try to connect with an msn account | 05:10 |
| _2 | oh that's why i don't like katapult. if you hadn't mentioned database i would never have known. | 05:10 |
| Ashex | DaSkreech, alright. I suspect it's the ubuntu build | 05:10 |
| DaSkreech | ?>_< | 05:10 |
| Ashex | I'm about ready to uninstall kopete and just compile the latest version | 05:10 |
| _2 | same reason i don't like slocate | 05:11 |
| DaSkreech | laggy? | 05:11 |
| epimeth | so 4.0.5 then? | 05:11 |
| DaSkreech | 4.1 > 4.0.5 | 05:12 |
| DaSkreech | For most numbering systems | 05:12 |
| epimeth | PhoenixGI: you clicked on the x? | 05:12 |
| epimeth | DaSkreech: yea, but you said "newest" | 05:12 |
| PhoenixGI | epimeth: Yes | 05:13 |
| epimeth | and 4.0.5 was the most recently released one | 05:13 |
| DaSkreech | epimeth: Ah right :) | 05:13 |
| _2 | shouldn't katapult do something if you type in bash ? | 05:13 |
| DaSkreech | Sorry I meant highest number wins | 05:13 |
| DaSkreech | _2: ahmm ? | 05:13 |
| PhoenixGI | _2 Launch a club at your forhead maybe? | 05:13 |
| DaSkreech | Like drop a floating bash prompt? | 05:13 |
| epimeth | _2: no, it runs applications from the application db | 05:13 |
| _2 | like open a konsole or something DaSkreech | 05:14 |
| epimeth | _2: so what you want is "konsole" | 05:14 |
| _2 | epimeth and this database is where? os was generated how ? | 05:14 |
| stdin | _2: no, remember the commands are ran via kdeinit, which just launches a new process, bash to be precise ;) | 05:14 |
| epimeth | _2: the command "updatedb" | 05:15 |
| DaSkreech | _2: It's the database of what's in the kmenu by default | 05:15 |
| DaSkreech | epimeth: No it isn't :-P | 05:15 |
| epimeth | really? | 05:15 |
| epimeth | I could have sworn it did.... | 05:15 |
| DaSkreech | _2: alt+space -> ^c -> c | 05:15 |
| _2 | epimeth that's the slocate database updater | 05:15 |
| _2 | bash is in my kmenu | 05:16 |
| kgx | !mic | 05:16 |
| ubottu | Factoid mic not found | 05:16 |
| _2 | so is dash | 05:16 |
| kgx | !microphone | 05:16 |
| ubottu | Factoid microphone not found | 05:16 |
| epimeth | hrm... thats not the "Execution Catalog" ? | 05:16 |
| _2 | kgx i'm with you. it should be there. | 05:16 |
| ubuntu_ | I am in the middle of installing kubuntu | 05:17 |
| ubuntu_ | and I thought I would ask here before continuing | 05:17 |
| ubuntu_ | when I click advanced during the installation process to bring up the grub boot loader options | 05:17 |
| _2 | and when i click bash in the kmenu it opens a konsole with bash in it. and does dash the same way. | 05:17 |
| ubuntu_ | should I change anything | 05:17 |
| kgx | _2: im getting annoying of my mic not working on laptop. can't use skype because ofi t :( | 05:17 |
| ubuntu_ | or leave it at (hd0) | 05:18 |
| ubuntu_ | even though the install is going to be sdc1 | 05:18 |
| epimeth | PhoenixGI: you can check if you killed the process by running $ps -fuxa | grep apt | 05:18 |
| epimeth | PhoenixGI: you can check if you killed the process by running $ps -fuxa | grep 'apt' | 05:18 |
| _2 | kgx last time i messed with a builtin mic it was just muted and the record was not set to the mic but to the main. you can check/change both in the alsamixer | 05:18 |
| DaSkreech | _2: I thought dash was none interactive | 05:18 |
| _2 | DaSkreech heh. not hardly. | 05:19 |
| epimeth | PhoenixGI: if nothing appears then the process is dead | 05:19 |
| _2 | DaSkreech it's a posix compliant shell | 05:19 |
| PhoenixGI | epimeth well I brought up System Monitor, Apt-get was on the proceess table, it's gone now.. soooo I guess it's done | 05:20 |
| _2 | pidof apt-get | 05:20 |
| epimeth | PhoenixGI: either its done or its dead. the only way to find out is by running update and / or upgrade | 05:21 |
| * _2 likes pidof or pgrep which some sware by | 05:21 | |
| DaSkreech | haryono: how are you doing? | 05:21 |
| * epimeth has never heard of pidof but will now start using it | 05:21 | |
| _2 | epimeth it's been a main stay of linux for ever. in /bin/ almost all *nix's have it. | 05:22 |
| PhoenixGI | brb | 05:23 |
| epimeth | _2: well I never heard of it :-) I always used ps fuxa | grep | 05:23 |
| _2 | epimeth heh ok. | 05:23 |
| _2 | pidof X | 05:24 |
| _2 | pgrep, pkill - look up or signal processes based on name and other | 05:24 |
| _2 | attributes | 05:24 |
| epimeth | pidof X | kill -9 :-p | 05:24 |
| _2 | pgrep -k X | 05:25 |
| _2 | sorry -k is wrong os -s is what linux uses | 05:25 |
| _2 | epimeth and for something like that i like killall X | 05:27 |
| _2 | kills named process and it's children. | 05:28 |
| * _2 favours genicide in such cases | 05:28 | |
| epimeth | too many ways to do the same thing | 05:29 |
| _2 | you can't pipe into kill tho | 05:30 |
| _2 | " pidof X | kill -9 " == error "kill -9 `pidof X`" == xorg go down like curd in churn | 05:30 |
| epimeth | you can't pipe into kill? | 05:31 |
| epimeth | hrm | 05:31 |
| epimeth | didn't know that... | 05:31 |
| epimeth | makes sence, tho | 05:31 |
| Artimus | What's the maximum amount of command line arguments to ls? I just ran | 05:31 |
| Artimus | ls on a quarantine directory, it said too many command line arguments. | 05:31 |
| _2 | killall /usr/bin/X == gui go down like curd in churn too | 05:31 |
| DaSkreech | kill doesn't take stdin | 05:32 |
| _2 | nope | 05:32 |
| epimeth | works for me :-) | 05:32 |
| DaSkreech | _2: What do you use to listen to music? | 05:32 |
| epimeth | Artimus: ls should work on any directory | 05:32 |
| _2 | DaSkreech ? app you mean ? | 05:32 |
| epimeth | Artimus: what was the exact command you ran? | 05:32 |
| DaSkreech | Si | 05:32 |
| _2 | DaSkreech sox | 05:32 |
| DaSkreech | never heard of it :) | 05:32 |
| epimeth | _2: I use amarok | 05:33 |
| _2 | !info sox | 05:33 |

| DaSkreech | I don't get the x | 05:33 |
| DaSkreech | but *shrugs* | 05:33 |
| Artimus | epimeth: (I ran this on a Windows box... There are a ton of files in this folder... 1.9GB of quarantined files. I'm going to have a bad night) | 05:33 |
| PhoenixGI | Artimus Ouch | 05:33 |
| ubuntu_ | Hi | 05:34 |
| _2 | Artimus don't use * for ls use -R for recursive listings. | 05:34 |
| ubuntu_ | I am trying to install kubuntu of the latest live cd | 05:34 |
| ubuntu_ | need help here | 05:34 |
| Artimus | _2: I used find, but thanks | 05:34 |
| epimeth | Artimus: what do you need to know about it? | 05:34 |
| Artimus | epimeth: I'm curious how many arguments ls can take | 05:34 |
| epimeth | !ask | ubuntu_ | 05:34 |
| ubottu | ubuntu_: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 05:34 |
| Artimus | I ran "ls *" meaning it was using every file in the list as an argument. | 05:35 |
| _2 | Artimus that works too but many apps like mv rm ls ln and so forth will error if there are too many files list by * | 05:35 |
| epimeth | Artimus: however many it takes... | 05:35 |
| Artimus | epimeth: No, how many before it spits out an error | 05:35 |
| Artimus | Like it did | 05:35 |
| DaSkreech | Artimus: Apps don't have a limit for most cases | 05:35 |
| Artimus | Then why did ls die? | 05:35 |
| DaSkreech | Artimus: The shell does though | 05:35 |
| Artimus | oh... | 05:35 |
| epimeth | ls [OPTION]... [FILE]... | 05:35 |
| Artimus | DaSkreech: Oh, duh, it's bash... | 05:35 |
| _2 | Artimus i think it's a bit count and not an actual arg count i.e. number of chars | 05:36 |
| ubuntu_ | epimeth: when I click the install button, I follow the instructions, get to a stage to select the hd to install to, I select sdc1 (my primary 80gb), then I am not sure if I need to change the grub boot device because by default it is set to (hd0) | 05:36 |
| ubuntu_ | but I left it at hd0, and when I reboot I get : File not found | 05:36 |
| _2 | DaSkreech backwards. the shell can pass far more arguments than ls or rm can handle | 05:36 |
| ubuntu_ | do I need to change (hd0) to (hd2) ??? | 05:36 |
| DaSkreech | _2: really what's the limits on each? | 05:37 |
| ubuntu_ | because the drive I am installing to is sdc1 | 05:37 |
| Artimus | _2: Thanks | 05:37 |
| epimeth | ubuntu_ your primary is sdc? that seems odd to me | 05:37 |
| ubuntu_ | well sda is 500gb storage, sdb is 200gb storage | 05:37 |
| DaSkreech | ubuntu_: which one is bootable? | 05:37 |
| Artimus | It's more of a curiosity anyway. find . -iname "*.dat" -exec rm {} \; worked very well for me to clear out the ton of files... | 05:37 |
| ubuntu_ | sdc | 05:37 |
| DaSkreech | Then you need to install grub to hd2 | 05:38 |
| _2 | DaSkreech i'm not sure of the char count but i have had to use things like find /path -exec rm '{}' \; for things that rm /path/* wouldn't work on, and many such things. | 05:38 |
| DaSkreech | _2: k I'll ask greycat | 05:38 |
| Artimus | _2: We think alike | 05:38 |
| ubuntu_ | ok I will just reinstall again, didnt take too long | 05:38 |
| _2 | DaSkreech and for bash the cli arg limit is 64k | 05:38 |
| DaSkreech | That I know | 05:38 |
| epimeth | yea, I'm with _2 on the find thing | 05:38 |
| ubuntu_ | DaSkreech: Unless I can quickly repair this instead of reinstalling | 05:38 |
| DaSkreech | !grub | 05:39 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 05:39 |
| ubuntu_ | I will just reinstall I never have good luck half the instructions dont work half the time | 05:39 |
| ubuntu_ | thanks | 05:39 |
| DaSkreech | Ha ha :) | 05:39 |
| DaSkreech | ok | 05:39 |
| epimeth | Artimus: also, have you tried redirecting to less? | 05:39 |
| DaSkreech | Yeah probably faster | 05:39 |
| _2 | DaSkreech also one can use a for loop and leave find out of it. for q in /path/* ;do rm $q ;done "all sh all the time" | 05:39 |
| Artimus | epimeth: That might be fun. Haven't tried it yet. | 05:40 |
| _2 | :) | 05:40 |
| DaSkreech | Yeah that's what I normally do | 05:40 |
| _2 | the for loop proves that the shell can handle the full list | 05:40 |
| _2 | for being a shell builtin | 05:41 |
| epimeth | _2, Artimus: and instead of "rm" I would try "echo" first :-p | 05:41 |
| _2 | yep | 05:41 |
| epimeth | I haven't done any bash programming in a loooong time.... | 05:42 |
| _2 | heh or rm -i | 05:42 |
| _2 | but that's slow when the list is longer than rm can handle. | 05:42 |
| Artimus | epimeth: I ran the command with just find first. It outputs the text too. | 05:42 |
| epimeth | Artimus: I wasn talking about _2's loop suggestion | 05:43 |
| epimeth | Artimus: but, yea, find defaults to --print | 05:43 |
| Artimus | epimeth: Oh, nevermind then | 05:43 |
| _2 | one dash -print :) | 05:43 |
| Artimus | Say, has anyone tried Terabyte Image For Linux? I'm using their Windows product (I get a free copy of the Linux version with it). Kind of nifty. Curious if anyone else has used it. | 05:44 |

| frybye | hi have installed KRec and it dosent work - any tips? | 05:44 |
| _2 | i see | 05:44 |
| _2 | !doesntwork | 05:45 |
| ubottu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 05:45 |
| Artimus | _2: It's kind of like Ghost or Acronis... I feel bad about using a closed source program, but it works. | 05:45 |
| frybye | dosent seem to see the microphone - and records in a strange format anyhow apparently.. | 05:45 |
| _2 | Artimus ok. i've never used any of those either ;/ | 05:46 |
| clifford | Hi - does anyone know how to get the sound working after using rhythmbox? (I was told not to use it but forgot!!) Please help | 05:47 |
| Artimus | _2: In Linux partitions, it's basically DD with a frontend & validation. I use it to image Windows partitions before I work on them | 05:47 |
| _2 | frybye does it record the vidio portion correctly ? | 05:48 |
| * Guest599 thank you and good night | 05:50 | |
| frybye | have no video input on this pc - just trying to rec from microphone.. | 05:50 |
| frybye | i says "very much data"..? and produces a file in a format I have never seen before..# | 05:51 |
| frybye | I had this installed in a prev. installaton and it rec. in ogg - but this time not apparently..? | 05:52 |
| _2 | Artimus then sox or anything that wasn't made for vidio recording would be a better choice even audacity would be usable for you | 05:52 |
| _2 | sorry not Artimus | 05:52 |
| frybye | have I got the wrong appl...? | 05:52 |
| _2 | frybye ^ | 05:52 |
| richard_ | if i have 5 lamps of 5v, how many v i need to have a good performance¿? | 05:52 |
| frybye | ah ha... | 05:52 |
| frybye | which of them would you suggest...? | 05:52 |
| PhoenixGI | Installing K3B did let me write to the DVD, but Keep Still doesn't want to use it for backups | 05:53 |
| richard_ | 25v? | 05:53 |
| frybye | something simple to use - need for audio-mails... | 05:53 |
| _2 | richard_ if you parallel them 5v if you seriese them 25v | 05:53 |
| richard_ | thanks _2 | 05:53 |
| _2 | richard_ but running lamps in seriese is not normally desirable | 05:53 |
| richard_ | i have in seriese | 05:55 |
| _2 | lamp1===lamp2===lamp3===lamp4===lamp5===source better than source+---l1---l2---l3---l4---l5---source- | 05:55 |
| richard_ | if i have 5v,5v,2v,2v,2v, how many voltage i need | 05:55 |
| _2 | reason being the highest resistance lamp will be the brightest and the others will starve. | 05:56 |
| richard_ | 16v? | 05:56 |
| _2 | nope that will only blow bulbs | 05:56 |
| richard_ | and then.... | 05:58 |
| _2 | and then none work because one is open circute | 05:58 |
| _2 | use parallel circutry for lamps or keep your lamps very closely matched, and even then they wont all preform correctly | 05:59 |
| lsemple_ | prior to installing kubuntu I backed up my old /home folders, to restore them should I just copy them back ? | 05:59 |
| richard_ | but teorically... | 06:00 |
| _2 | a teory that is known to be flawed is not one to discuss | 06:00 |
| _2 | lsemple_ yes and then own your home | 06:01 |
| richard_ | ok thanks _2 thanks | 06:01 |
| richard_ | i no disturbe more | 06:02 |
| _2 | richard_ welcome. | 06:02 |
| lsemple_ | ok, on the old system I had two users (/home/lsemple and /home/csemple), if I where to just copy them back would that automatically create the second user for me (csemple) ? | 06:02 |
| lsemple_ | or do I need to use a program like kuser to add a new user, then copy the folder back ? | 06:03 |
| richard_ | ;) | 06:03 |
| _2 | lsemple_ no. sudo adduser (and to own your home login as the user in question and) sudo chown -R $USER $HOME | 06:04 |
| _2 | lsemple_ sorry, i type slow. yes kuser will work no it wont add for you. | 06:04 |
| _2 | shoot. you are cutting into my lunch break. i'll be back in 2.5 hours when lunch is over ;) | 06:06 |
| richard_ | yeah i think so, i must take the lamps of menor voltage as the high voltage and add | 06:06 |
| richard_ | yeah i think so, i must take the lamps of menor voltage as the high voltage and add | 06:08 |
| lsemple_ | _2: for some reason the permissions for the second user (csemple) got changed to lsemple in the backup process, does the command chown -R $csemple $csemple change the permissions ? | 06:09 |
| PhoenixGI | Isemple_ I think _2 went to grab some lunch | 06:09 |
| lsemple_ | ok | 06:10 |
| lsemple_ | is there any important files in a newly created /home/csemple folder that I need to keep before I replace the entire folder ?? | 06:11 |
| PhoenixGI | Isemple_ wish I could help, but I'm still very new to linux | 06:12 |
| lsemple_ | thats ok | 06:12 |

| enos | Help. I can't seem to understand what's *causing* ubuntu to appear so bright. I looked at xorg.conf and it doesnt look like its neither recognizing my video card's drivers (as its using vesa) nor my monitor (as its using a generic one). Help. | 06:41 |
| Brian88 | HollowPoint: thanks | 06:42 |

| HollowPoint | have you tried the external monitor on another machine to see if the monitor is just stuck as exceptionally bright | 06:52 |
| enos | HollowPoint: I didn't. it xorg just generated the xorg.conf automagically? ...so didnt manually do anything. | 06:53 |

| Guest63667 | anom01y: try chmod -R dir_name | 06:54 |
| Brian88 | HollowPoint: howto update | 06:55 |
| HollowPoint | ok, in that case I would try running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" this will return your xorg.conf to it's normal state, then try booting it up again | 06:55 |

| Exilant | maybe that is the same language, no clue :) | 08:36 |
| zEr0-x | I said I wannted to install beryl 'cause is the onlyone program I saw, but now you tell me that exist another program... I'll try it (Sorry about my english, I'm not a native english speaker, and amateur too :) ) | 08:37 |
| Exilant | regarding compiz-fusion, is there a way to play videos without flickering? (and without using awfully slow video outputs)? | 08:37 |
| HollowPoint | compiz-fusion IS beryll | 08:37 |
| HollowPoint | Exilant use VLC | 08:38 |
| Exilant | that flickers a lot | 08:38 |
| HollowPoint | sudo apt-get install vlc | 08:38 |
| HollowPoint | I get no flickering, what graphics card do you have? | 08:38 |
| Exilant | ati :( | 08:38 |
| HollowPoint | zEr0-x Beryll and Compiz projects merged last year I believe to create compiz-fusion | 08:39 |
| HollowPoint | Exilant yes but which model? | 08:39 |
| HollowPoint | ATi are fine, the drivers for Linux are much better now | 08:39 |
| HollowPoint | just depends on the model | 08:39 |
| Exilant | maybe | 08:40 |
| Exilant | i like compiz, it looks really wonderful, but no fast video, no googleearth, and the crashes, that is annoying | 08:41 |
| zEr0-x | mmm I'm having a little trouble | 08:41 |
| HollowPoint | I've got google earth, perfect video and no crashes, sounds to me like your graphics card is not good enough to handle compiz in a stable manner | 08:41 |
| HollowPoint | zEr0-x whats the trouble? | 08:42 |
| zEr0-x | I'm having trouble with the video driver | 08:42 |
| HollowPoint | what is your video card? | 08:42 |
| Exilant | Are you using an ati card, HollowPoint? | 08:42 |
| zEr0-x | I've installed Kubuntu as guest using Vbox | 08:42 |
| zEr0-x | and Kubuntu doesn't allows me to change the res to an upper than 800*600 | 08:43 |
| zEr0-x | :( | 08:43 |
| HollowPoint | nope, I use an NVidia one on my Desktop machine and an Intel one on my laptop, I try to avoid ATi where possible, just purely because I prefer Nvidia | 08:43 |
| zEr0-x | I have tryed differents drivers | 08:43 |
| HollowPoint | you'll need to install the vbox linux additions zEr0-x | 08:44 |
| zEr0-x | I did! | 08:44 |
| HollowPoint | and they installed properly? | 08:44 |
| zEr0-x | sure | 08:44 |
| HollowPoint | they didn't error out? | 08:44 |
| zEr0-x | no | 08:44 |
| HollowPoint | how did you install them? | 08:44 |
| zEr0-x | using Vbox, I selected Install guest additions | 08:45 |
| zEr0-x | then | 08:45 |
| zEr0-x | appeared a window | 08:45 |
| Exilant | ok, seems to be a common problem on ati, the flickering | 08:45 |
| zEr0-x | with the installer | 08:45 |
| Exilant | at least judging from forum posts | 08:45 |
| zEr0-x | LinuxInstall or something like that | 08:45 |
| HollowPoint | all that did was download them zEr0-x there isn't an installer for Kubuntu as a guest to install the Linux Additions | 08:45 |
| HollowPoint | you have to do it from the command line | 08:45 |
| HollowPoint | doesn't surprise me Exilant, as I said ATi are fine now, just depends on the model and you have to be very specific with the drivers, with Nvidia there are 3 drivers I think, Legacy, recent and current, that's it and those drivers cover all models lol, with ATi you have to use a more specific driver for your chipset I beleive | 08:46 |
| zEr0-x | sure ?, but it seems to work perfect, cause I could mount the shared folder, And as I have understood (hasta donde tengo entendido) you cannot moount this shared folder without the linux guest addition | 08:46 |
| zEr0-x | the file is a .run file | 08:48 |
| Exilant | well, there is one proprietary and a lot of os drivers | 08:48 |
| HollowPoint | can you move your mouse in and out of the vm window without pressing the right hand ctrl key? | 08:48 |
| === Haza-away is now known as Haza | ||
| zEr0-x | I can move my mouse in and out of the vm window! without pressing the right hand ctrl key! | 08:49 |
| zEr0-x | so... | 08:51 |
| zEr0-x | what should I do HollowPoint... The last driver I installed messed my system up | 08:53 |
| HollowPoint | sorry was just setting up my kdm theme | 08:53 |
| zEr0-x | ok | 08:54 |
| HollowPoint | well by default installing the linux additions installs the appropriate driver for the vm graphics card, I would suggest simply running the following command in the vm after running the linux additions and without changing anything, including drivers : | 08:54 |
| HollowPoint | "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, this should configure a basic default xorg.conf which should provided the right driver is installed set the appropriate resolutions available | 08:55 |
| zEr0-x | ok | 08:56 |
| zEr0-x | I'll try, and b right back in 5' :) | 08:56 |
| zEr0-x | oh another thing that nobody answered me | 08:56 |
| zEr0-x | can i install Ubuntu Studio in Kubuntu ? | 08:57 |
| HollowPoint | no idea zWe0-x not sure what Ubuntu Studio is, never used it | 09:04 |
| zEr0-x | ok | 09:06 |
| === zEr0-x is now known as [zEr0-x] | ||
| [zEr0-x] | for downloading compiz fuzion, what distro of linux source must I download? (ubuntu) ? | 09:09 |
| HollowPoint | you're not planning on using compiz-fusion in the vm are you? | 09:12 |
| * ActionParsnip hopes they arent using it full stop | 09:12 | |
| [zEr0-x] | for sure! | 09:14 |
| [zEr0-x] | :) | 09:14 |
| [zEr0-x] | why not ? | 09:14 |
| HollowPoint | lol I'm doubting heavily that will work | 09:14 |
| HollowPoint | compiz requires a fair bit of juice | 09:15 |
| [zEr0-x] | do you speak spanish ? | 09:15 |
| HollowPoint | lol @ ActionParsnip Compiz is ok in small doses | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | i think its a waste of time. it appears to pull eyecandyenthusiasts over but I ended up never using its "features" and the anims grew old | 09:15 |
| HollowPoint | not enough to have a proper conversation zEr0-x | 09:16 |
| [zEr0-x] | ok, I'll try to tell you a good phrase in english | 09:16 |
| * ActionParsnip watches | 09:16 | |
| HollowPoint | ActionParsnip, I use the minimize, close and open effect of vaccuum and genie and then I use the desktop cube for functionallity, oh and I like the truglass theme of emerald lol | 09:17 |
| HollowPoint | other than that it's fine | 09:17 |
| [zEr0-x] | There aren't impossible things, "else" unable mans | 09:17 |
| HollowPoint | huh/ | 09:18 |
| HollowPoint | ? | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | HollowPoint: i just like a no nonesense desktop, hence fluxbox. I tried compiz and it just grated, kinda slowed me down | 09:18 |
| HollowPoint | lol fair enoguh | 09:19 |
| HollowPoint | I just fell in love with the desktop cube, allows me to do so much when I'm in full flow at work | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | HollowPoint: I just right click decorator, move to desktop x | 09:21 |
| HollowPoint | I have a production machine that runs Kubuntu 8.04 with Compiz running, Virtualbox NON-FREE and a Windows XP installation, the desktop cube allows me to run the VM in full screen mode, while also being able to flip the cube around and use a dual screen Linux environment and then flick back to windows and if needed I can have Linux and Windows on a screen each | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | then shortcut keys to flip to that desktop, instant change over | 09:21 |
| HollowPoint | yeah but I never liked the multiple desktops feature, I run one desktop on multiple faces, just works better for me, personal preference lol | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | HollowPoint: yeah ive seen some devs with that, this mac guy thought he was awesome, so i pulled out my lappy and did the same | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | HollowPoint: indeed :) | 09:22 |

| nowhere | konqueror asks for the password twice, and if I create a desktop url icon for the user, dolphin will open it, not konqueror | 10:27 |
| nowhere | dolphin throws funny errors if you move the mouse over html files | 10:28 |
| nowhere | I'd settle for a tool with an ftp-like interface | 10:28 |
| nowhere | the user is used to winscp | 10:29 |
| Pennycook | nowhere: You could set up Konqueror as the default handler for all directories (to get around the fish:// on shortcuts thing), and if you used a public and private key pair you wouldn't need to authenticate at all. | 10:32 |
| nowhere | Pennycook: that's not an option offered for the server the user needs to connect to | 10:32 |
| nowhere | Pennycook: pubkey auth, that is | 10:32 |
| Pennycook | nowhere: Definitely? I thought it was enabled most places. | 10:33 |
| nowhere | Pennycook: our university web server doesn't seem to use it | 10:33 |
| nowhere | but I can check | 10:34 |
| Pennycook | If you're connecting over SSH I would have thought they'd let you. Just pop your public key in ~.ssh/authorized_keys. | 10:34 |
| nowhere | Pennycook: I think it's disabled in the sshd_config | 10:35 |
| Pennycook | Ah, that sucks. I can't think of anything else. Sorry. | 10:37 |
| nowhere | Pennycook: ah, never mind, it's the braindead local setup | 10:38 |
| nowhere | Pennycook: I don't see any good reason to not allow pubkey auth either | 10:38 |
| Pennycook | If I were you I'd ask your university about it. | 10:38 |
| genus-8 | hi | 10:38 |
| genus-8 | help me | 10:38 |
| nowhere | Pennycook: how'd I get konqueror to handle directories instead of dolphin? | 10:39 |
| [zEr0-x] | ok dudes, I'm leaving, thanks for your help and interest! | 10:39 |
| Pennycook | nowhere: If you run kcontrol there's a "File Associations" section. Under "inode", there's options for directory and mount-point; just increase the priority for Konqueror. | 10:40 |
| nowhere | genus-8: I think the mind readers are on vacation | 10:40 |
| genus-8 | what console (terminal) commands i need to install mp3 support in my kubuntu 8.04 | 10:42 |
| genus-8 | ? | 10:42 |
| nowhere | genus-8: er, depends on the app | 10:45 |
| nowhere | genus-8: but usually you just need to install libmad | 10:45 |
| genus-8 | give me terminal command for it | 10:46 |
| genus-8 | please | 10:46 |
| genus-8 | how an i install it? | 10:46 |
| genus-8 | can* | 10:46 |

| Pennycook | ubuntu_: Please stop pressing enter at the end of your sentences. | 11:20 |
| jussi01 | dolf: go and read freenodes web page for the irc channel creation, as for bots, have a look into supybot | 11:20 |
| dolf | thx | 11:20 |

| dolf | @ ubuntu normal should work that | 11:21 |
| renato__ | hi if I connect to a website like ftp://seiteurl.com what port will I need to enable? at the moment I can access ftp://mysite.com from within the network, but not outside the NAT which leads me to believe I will need to do port redirection | 11:21 |
| ubuntu_ | wats normal? | 11:21 |
| renato__ | I ment I can access ftp://mysite.com from within the network | 11:21 |
| renato__ | I ment I can access ftp://siteurl.com from within the network | 11:21 |
| dolf | @renato is it for ftp then you have to open youre port 22 i think :) | 11:21 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as wthoang | ||
| wthoang | changed my name. | 11:22 |
| dolf | for you're website port 80 | 11:22 |
| djtm_ | does someone know an acpi irc channel? | 11:22 |
| renato__ | I can access www.mysite.com, but not ftp://mysite.com | 11:22 |
| renato__ | from the internet, I can from the local network | 11:22 |
| renato__ | I can from the local network but not from the internet | 11:23 |
| dolf | i don't know how you set you''re ftp-port it is port 21 or 22 default | 11:23 |
| maggo79 | ssh: 22; ftp: 21; http: 80 | 11:23 |
| wthoang | is there a way to fix my windows mbr through command on this live disc??? grub error 17???? | 11:23 |
| renato__ | I can access ftp.mysite.com, what I cannot access is ftp://www.mysite.com | 11:24 |
| dolf | renato you connect with an ftp-client or not? | 11:25 |
| dolf | and did you already open the port? | 11:25 |
| renato__ | yes I can | 11:26 |
| jcfp | wthoang: that arsgeek site solution seems quite reasonable (except that package ms-sys doesn't exist anymore on hardy) | 11:28 |
| wthoang | omg... | 11:29 |
| wthoang | so i guess i'll ask again...is there a way to fix my windows mbr through command on this live disc??? grub error 17???? | 11:30 |
| Pennycook | !patience | wthoang | 11:30 |
| ubottu | wthoang: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 11:30 |
| jcfp | wthoang: on gutsy or earlier you should be fine | 11:30 |
| wthoang | sorry...sorry...just stressed...i need this laptop for my exam studies | 11:30 |
| Pennycook | wthoang: If you do follow those instructions, though, I recommend reading the comments first. Some people have said to use /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda1 since the latter would actually wipe your drive. Heed his warning, too; it might screw things up. | 11:31 |
| wthoang | k.. | 11:32 |
| tekgeeklt | man I would never let anyone touch my computer ... having the school format my computer ... i would have been pissed and taken to whom ever is in charge | 11:33 |
| Pennycook | Yeah. wthoang: If it's not a laptop you're borrowing from them (ie, it is your own and purchased with your own money) I'd recommend doing something about it. They shouldn't be allowed to do that. | 11:33 |
| wthoang | yeh i dunno...i have bought it is mine. but its school policy to have one, its not like im the only one who has it | 11:34 |
| wthoang | they sed because they dont like their proxy pak being used on anything other than internet explorer | 11:34 |
| wthoang | and theres this whole school lockdown for the network and stuff, its all getting snappy at out school, the it guys are real tight about it | 11:35 |
| wthoang | is there a way for me to reset the admin password for windows other than herins? | 11:36 |
| tekgeeklt | haha thats funny .... you could just let them know that is the worst program ever to use to get on the internet ... and I would be supprised if they dont have a million virii | 11:36 |
| wthoang | wat herins? | 11:36 |
| jcfp | wthoang: another option to fix your problem would be to reinstall kubuntu ;) | 11:36 |
| wthoang | if i did this, then grub will find the partition again. cos wat they have done is mounted the partition into an empty folder in the c drive | 11:37 |
| wthoang | cos if i did, i still have teh problem of having kubuntu on my comp | 11:38 |
| tekgeeklt | well it looks like he doesn't have the option to use kubuntu | 11:38 |
| tekgeeklt | I did find a page that someone else was having that error but you may have already looked at it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 | 11:39 |
| wthoang | well w8, if i do reinstall kubuntu, will grub find it and i can pick to go into windows again? and then from there, can i remove kubuntu without this problem again? | 11:39 |
| _Angelus_ | re-installing kubuntu to remove kubuntu is not a sane choice | 11:40 |
| RiotingPacifist | should i use envy or the defeault fglrx for an ati card? | 11:40 |
| _Angelus_ | format you're pc with windows and grub and kubuntu will desapear | 11:40 |
| wthoang | well...i need to bakup my stuff, and i have exams so i really cant afford to do that | 11:40 |
| tekgeeklt | what version of windows are you using? cause I have found that if you are using windows vista you can not use linux to resize the partions or it will wack the windows partions .. | 11:40 |
| wthoang | xp | 11:41 |
| tekgeeklt | k | 11:41 |
| wthoang | _Angelus_: but is it possible | 11:41 |
| _Angelus_ | possible... like droping a nuclear bomb you're computer | 11:42 |
| _Angelus_ | ;p | 11:42 |
| jcfp | entirely possible - just a bit overkill | 11:42 |
| RiotingPacifist | tekgeeklt: mine left vista there just i cant boot to it :( | 11:42 |
| wthoang | but do i have another choice? i need to get rid of this error at any cost | 11:42 |
| RiotingPacifist | wthoang: whats the error? | 11:43 |
| wthoang | i formatted my kubuntu partition through windows disc manager, now i receive the grub 17 error | 11:43 |
| wthoang | windows is there... | 11:43 |
| _Angelus_ | wthoang: do you want to keep kubuntu or not? if you don't want to keep it, just format with windows , if you want to keep it, i duno | 11:44 |
| wthoang | want to keep windows | 11:44 |
| wthoang | not kubuntu, not allowed kubuntu | 11:44 |
| _Angelus_ | then | 11:45 |
| _Angelus_ | just format with windows | 11:45 |
| tekgeeklt | I just got kubuntu installed here and one thing I found that I can not do is resize any window ... it shows the little arrows to allow me to resize but it does not do anything ...is there something i have to do to set that up ? | 11:45 |
| _Angelus_ | kubuntu and grub will both be wiped out | 11:45 |
| _Angelus_ | xD | 11:45 |
| RiotingPacifist | ahh well in that case the safest way to do things is to stick a widnows disk in and get it to repair the MBR then format what was kubuntu to a new partition | 11:45 |
| wthoang | well thats the problem...i have...grub doesnt get wiped | 11:45 |
| wthoang | well i dont noe the admin password, i have already tried this | 11:45 |
| tekgeeklt | wthoang: you may be able to pop the windows cd in the drive and do a repair option that may fix the issue | 11:45 |
| _Angelus_ | wthoang: booth into the windows xp disc, press R for recovery console, then type in these 2 commands, fixmbr and fixboot | 11:46 |
| _Angelus_ | that will get rid of grub | 11:46 |
| wthoang | yeh...as sed above..i dont noe the admin password..i coulda sworn that this was my account but the school image cleary doesnt allow this | 11:46 |
| tekgeeklt | actually yes that will work using the fixmbr option ... grub basically just replaces the windows boot manager | 11:46 |
| wthoang | i cant do anything until i noe the admin password | 11:46 |
| _Angelus_ | well | 11:47 |
| tekgeeklt | if you have the cd you don't need a password | 11:47 |
| _Angelus_ | you said it, you CAN't , do anything ,, | 11:47 |
| _Angelus_ | tekgeeklt: no, recovery console asks for the windows password | 11:47 |
| tekgeeklt | hrmm | 11:47 |
| wthoang | ya | 11:47 |
| wthoang | how can i reset it | 11:47 |
| wthoang | i noe hirens can... | 11:48 |
| wthoang | but 100mb doesnt suit my bandwidth | 11:48 |
| _Angelus_ | you need to be secret mad scientists member and hack XP with bizare cracking equipment | 11:48 |
| _Angelus_ | xD | 11:48 |
| wthoang | so theres no commands that can do this with kubuntu?...oh man.. | 11:49 |
| flaccid_ | was i spamming this channel just before at all? had a connection issue.. | 11:50 |
| tekgeeklt | can you hit f8 and get into the safe mode for the computer? | 11:50 |
| jcfp | flaccid_: nope | 11:51 |
| wthoang | havent tried... | 11:51 |
| flaccid_ | jcfp, thanks ! | 11:51 |
| wthoang | but if i do try then i have to leave this live disc and start it up if it doesnt | 11:51 |
| wthoang | but will that work | 11:51 |
| tekgeeklt | this page says he forgets the password he just goes into safe mode and logs in and changes the pass | 11:51 |
| tekgeeklt | http://www.softwaretipsandtricks.com/forum/other-operating-systems/21512-crack-administrator-password.html | 11:51 |
| * flaccid_ laughs | 11:51 | |
| wthoang | is this the same page that goes into bios and boot modes? | 11:52 |
| tekgeeklt | right after the bios screen you hit f8 but then you may not even get that far cause of the error | 11:52 |
| flaccid_ | i just got here, can i ask the problem or should i not ask :) | 11:52 |
| wthoang | lol..that page just tells u how to find my password...but inorder to that u have to log into the admin account?? | 11:53 |
| tekgeeklt | you may just have to talk to someone there and tell them .. you screwed up my computer and you have to give me the admin pass so I can fix it | 11:53 |
| tekgeeklt | log into the admin account via the safe mode | 11:53 |
| flaccid_ | oh physical limitation | 11:53 |
| flaccid_ | windows? | 11:53 |
| tekgeeklt | which you sometimes can do with no password .. I would try all different things | 11:54 |
| flaccid_ | yeah that got taken out SP1+ | 11:54 |
| tekgeeklt | all anyone here is going to tell you is what you can find on any search engine unless someone here has actually gone through the exact issue | 11:54 |
| wthoang | but i noe the admin password isnt nothing | 11:54 |
| wthoang | theres some letter | 11:54 |
| wthoang | i dunno.. | 11:54 |
| tekgeeklt | just try everything you can before you say you can't do anything | 11:54 |
| * flaccid_ didn't know this was a windows cracking chan | 11:54 | |
| flaccid_ | even ##windows probably won't help there :p | 11:55 |
| tekgeeklt | no its not a windows cracking channel the guy's school deleted ubuntu and screwed up his boot loader and he can't get back into his computer | 11:55 |
| flaccid_ | !fixboot | 11:56 |
| ubottu | Factoid fixboot not found | 11:56 |
| flaccid_ | !grubfix | 11:56 |
| ubottu | Factoid grubfix not found | 11:56 |
| flaccid_ | !fixgrub | 11:56 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 11:56 |
| wthoang | its the mbr...i need to load the fixmbr through an alternate route to windows recovery mode from the disc | 11:56 |
| flaccid_ | there it is. there can only be one MBR on the disk. so usually thats either windows MBR or Grub or Lilo etc. so as a rule of thumb, you install Linux last to get the bootloader and not Windows MBR. so follow the guide to restore grub.. | 11:56 |
| sonoftheclayr | I had this problem a while ago...there is a program in the repos that will fix it | 11:57 |
| flaccid_ | wthoang, fixmbr will restore the windows mbr and thus no dual boot | 11:57 |
| wthoang | yes..i dont want dual boot, i just want xp | 11:57 |
| makdaknife | if you need to reset a windows admin password... use a boot disk like: http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html | 11:57 |
| flaccid_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows is what fixes it. | 11:57 |
| makdaknife | I've used it and it works great | 11:57 |
| sonoftheclayr | Wait. Are you trying to install the windows mbr or dual boot with grub? | 11:57 |
| flaccid_ | wthoang, goto ##windows for that (ie. fixboot and fixmbr from recovery console) or install grub | 11:57 |
| makdaknife | you won't crack the password... just reset | 11:57 |
| tekgeeklt | you know there is one other thing you can try but it takes some work... look up windows live cd in google you will find a live cd with options to fix windows | 11:58 |
| sigma_12 | whats a good text to speech program? | 11:58 |
| sonoftheclayr | wthoang: Are you trying to reinstall the windows mbr? | 11:58 |
| makdaknife | sigma_12: festival works | 11:58 |
| wthoang | sonoftheclayr: yess | 11:58 |
| flaccid_ | wthoang, i just gave the info for that :) | 11:59 |
| sonoftheclayr | wthoang: Do you have an ubuntu live cd? | 11:59 |
| flaccid_ | ubuntu livecd cannot restore a windows MBR | 11:59 |
| sonoftheclayr | flaccid_: Yes it can. You just have to install something from the repos. I did it last week. | 12:00 |
| flaccid_ | sonoftheclayr, no worries, what do you install? | 12:00 |
| flaccid_ | still this question is for ##windows , not here.. | 12:00 |
| flaccid_ | !info mbr | 12:01 |

| flaccid_ | sonoftheclayr, that ? | 12:01 |
| flaccid_ | its optional :) | 12:01 |
| wthoang | that'll work?? | 12:01 |
| sonoftheclayr | flaccid_: I don't think it was that. It was on Arsgeek if that helps. My e key isn't going to work so I can't google it | 12:01 |
| wthoang | i'll give it a go | 12:01 |
| flaccid_ | what is Arsgeek ? | 12:02 |
| wthoang | yes..i had the ars geek page but the thing is that i dont wanna touch it...im not that good with linux | 12:02 |
| flaccid_ | wthoang, dude just goto recovery console and run fixmbr and fixboot , done | 12:02 |
| flaccid_ | you do have a legit copy of windows? | 12:02 |
| wthoang | yes of course | 12:02 |
| flaccid_ | then do that | 12:02 |
| flaccid_ | end of story :) | 12:02 |
| wthoang | the problem is that i dont noe the admin password | 12:02 |
| flaccid_ | not our problem.. | 12:02 |
| wthoang | i cant get past that point if i did, then itd be simple | 12:03 |
| wthoang | well now im looking for an alternate way | 12:03 |
| flaccid_ | can't help you, goto ##windows | 12:03 |
| sonoftheclayr | wthoang: You can crack that as well. There are boot disks on the internet that will reset the admin password. | 12:03 |
| flaccid_ | we don't help cracking here | 12:03 |
| wthoang | i dont want cracking...there must be someway without cracking to do this | 12:03 |
| flaccid_ | maybe there is | 12:03 |
| Pennycook | wthoang: Why don't you know the admin password? | 12:04 |
| wthoang | !info mbr | 12:04 |

| sonoftheclayr | wthoang: I don't see a problem. It's your computer and it's your password. All it does is remove it | 12:04 |
| BlueDevil | how can i apply my user styles (theme, fonts, etc) to programs running as root (synaptic for example) ? | 12:04 |
| wthoang | cos its a school image put onto the laptop | 12:04 |
| Pennycook | wthoang: Then ask them. | 12:04 |
| wthoang | with all this software and stuff | 12:04 |
| wthoang | i have exams tomoz and im at home | 12:04 |
| === mm_ is now known as Atlan | ||
| flaccid_ | BlueDevil, it would have to be under root's profile, so although its not good to login as root, if you really need it then login as root and change appearance | 12:04 |
| flaccid_ | wthoang, not our problem sorry | 12:04 |
| wthoang | relating to that !info mbr is that the normal windows mbr or the grub one? | 12:05 |
| BlueDevil | flaccid_: thanks | 12:05 |

| Nyad | Hi. I have a program (fasm) that I would like to make directly accessible from the command-line without having to go to fasm's directory. How do I do this?> | 12:05 |
| flaccid_ | wthoang, not sure, its just what i found with a search | 12:05 |
| Pennycook | BlueDevil: Alternatively, running systemsettings as root might have the same effect. | 12:05 |
| RiotingPacifist | should i use envy or the default fglrx for an ati card? | 12:05 |

| RiotingPacifist | flaccid_: ive been using that but its unstable and its just a frontend to install default anyway | 12:08 |
| flaccid_ | RiotingPacifist, not correct. it installs the exact drivers you get from ATI's website. so your problem is probably something more specific.. | 12:08 |
| flaccid_ | can you explain the actual problem? | 12:09 |
| RiotingPacifist | fullscreen rendering of flash either with/without compiz is choppy, and my system randomly crashes badly, X freezes and all VTTs are messed up | 12:09 |
| flaccid_ | and you just assume its the driver? | 12:10 |
| flaccid_ | well how you install the driver is irrelevent... | 12:11 |
| wthoang | ive been told to do the following check your grub.conf from a live cd environment. mount your partitions and modify your grub.conf so it works | 12:11 |
| flaccid_ | configuration is a different story. RiotingPacifist which version of Kubuntu and please pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:11 |
| jtisme | sound/video all work cannot play streaming radio over internet searched all over for answers anyone have any ideas | 12:11 |
| flaccid_ | wthoang, grub can't even access your windows partition. so no. | 12:11 |
| wthoang | k | 12:12 |
| jtisme | tried everything using amarok | 12:12 |
| RiotingPacifist | wthoang: its called /boot/grub/menu.lst in ubuntu | 12:12 |
| flaccid_ | wthoang, we have already advised what is needed :) | 12:12 |
| RiotingPacifist | oh right nvm | 12:12 |
| BlueDevil | Pennycook: i tried that, didn't work | 12:12 |
| wthoang | yeh ok.. | 12:12 |
| flaccid_ | RiotingPacifist, i run ATI so it concerns me that you have unknown problems... | 12:12 |
| kg4rxs | how do i remove a reposatory but unable to acssis the list | 12:13 |
| flaccid_ | kg4rxs, adept manager | 12:13 |
| RiotingPacifist | well im going to reboot to envy, even though it shouldnt make a difference, but i insrtalled it last nite, then ill hopefully be back, appologies for ignoring advice but its early and im too lazy to revert the change, either way its the same driver right | 12:14 |
| flaccid_ | i usually like to find the problem and fix it, but a lot of people like to play around and reboot 10 times :) | 12:15 |
| flaccid_ | i mean driver != configuration | 12:15 |

| flaccid_ | is w32codecs installed from medibuntu.. | 12:18 |

| sharpe_uk | under maintainer does it say "Medibuntu Package Team"? | 12:23 |
| jtisme | sharpe_uk, where is 'maintainer' you ask about | 12:24 |
| sharpe_uk | simplest way, open Adept Manager, type in amarok under search then click the blue arrow on the amarok-xine package | 12:24 |
| sharpe_uk | itll give you all the details for that package.. | 12:25 |
| flaccid_ | kg4rxs, you have an invalid sources.list | 12:25 |

| sharpe_uk | >jtisme, ok, point me to the stream you are trying to play, Ill see if it plays here (rule out the stream is at fault) | 12:28 |
| flaccid_ | i deal with it every day jtisme | 12:28 |
| flaccid_ | click on the stream jtisme until it works | 12:28 |
| sharpe_uk | >flaccid, so do I but sometimes the stream really is broken and sometimes you just have to try a few times.. | 12:28 |
| flaccid_ | sharpe_uk, its a but in shoutcast server, not xine apparently.... | 12:28 |

| DeepThought | something very wrong with my kde3: every app I start, every action I do in an app, the app in question goes grey and takes about a minute before it happens, and/or another minute to allow input to the window. drives me craaazy ! what could be wrong ? the trouble started after installing kde4.1 beta, but I removed it and the problem persists, maybe there´ s no cennection to that anyway... Other apps (non-kde) are fine (like firefox), | 12:45 |
| DeepThought | so it has to be kde-related | 12:45 |

| jtisme | flaccid, dont remember link it was a comment by someone at a show with conical | 14:19 |
| flaccid- | there is the well known mesa problem however | 14:19 |
| flaccid- | jtisme, what is it exactly? | 14:19 |
| jtisme | zorglu_, what does p2p stand for i am very new to sound/video stuff | 14:20 |
| flaccid- | p2p has nothing to do with video or sound. peer to peer = p2p | 14:20 |
| zorglu_ | jtisme: ah ok :) p2p is just a network architecture. in the case of audio/video streaming this allow to reduce the bandwidth used by the servers | 14:20 |

| zorglu_ | flaccid-: it is not required to download the whole file before starting playing. in fact in the case of the http://player.web4web.tv/e334e91c/live/france24_fr.flv this is a live streaming. aka there is no 'file' | 14:23 |
| zorglu_ | just a stream | 14:23 |
| zorglu_ | but all that is quite offtopic :) | 14:23 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, you can't fix. unless the quality of the videos are increased and adobe does something about the poor performance, particularly on linux. case closed :( | 14:23 |
| Rioting_pacifist | flaccid-: but the video are of perfectly good quality and it worked fine on gutsy (well flash9 did) | 14:24 |
| flaccid- | zorglu_, it depends on what type of file. and this is commercial not open so.... | 14:24 |
| angasule | flaccid-: well, specs are out, so hopefully we'll get a good flash player sometime | 14:24 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, is this with desktop effects/compiz on? | 14:25 |
| flaccid- | angasule, we will be lucky if flash 10 fixes the problems. i will be happy if it does | 14:25 |
| Rioting_pacifist | in gutsy it was with compiz off, but in hardy it seams to make no difference if compiz is on/off | 14:25 |
| angasule | flaccid-: I'm more interested in open source flash :) | 14:25 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, keep in mind probably a dif version of flash in gutsy - they like to change flash a lot | 14:26 |
| Rioting_pacifist | flash 10 is slightly better on cpu usage but thats about it | 14:26 |
| flaccid- | angasule, open source flash development exists. but decent flash players don't because its closed. | 14:26 |

| flaccid- | this is the problem with closed sourced/proprietery software~!! accept it.. | 14:26 |
| angasule | flaccid-: the specs were released recently | 14:26 |
| Rioting_pacifist | no it was the same flash 9 from adobe site they dont change it that often, apart from patches, but my flash9 was fairly new | 14:26 |
| flaccid- | SVG is what should be used instead. | 14:26 |
| flaccid- | angasule, that doesn't help useability : | 14:26 |
| Rioting_pacifist | zorglu_: its in beta, crashes gutsy but seams ok in hardy | 14:27 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, complain to Adobe :) | 14:27 |
| zorglu_ | people should give way to pay rent/food with opensource, it would bring many people to opensource | 14:27 |
| zorglu_ | Rioting_pacifist: ok thanks | 14:27 |
| flaccid- | its a 3rd party plugin that simply gets embedded. what the plugin does has nothing to do with the program embedding it... | 14:27 |
| Rioting_pacifist | flaccid-: its not a problem with adobe that it worked in 7.10 but is jumpy in 8.04 the change was made to ubuntu to change this, flashs sucking has nothing to do with this | 14:27 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, proove it to me. because it worked on one version and didn't on the other, concludes nothing. | 14:28 |
| drurew | do you know if its possible to use the "skype" servicies without having to use this "bad" application ??? can i port it to kopete or something ? | 14:28 |
| zorglu_ | flash suck but it is 98% :) | 14:28 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, some real evidence please? | 14:28 |
| drurew | lol | 14:28 |
| === Jucato_ is now known as Jucato | ||
| flaccid- | its flash, get over it.. | 14:28 |
| Rioting_pacifist | wtf how can i give evidence that something used to work fine but didnt, stop being a zelot this is a support channel leave your flash sucks at the door | 14:29 |
| drurew | flash is for uzers | 14:29 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, this is the nature of closed sourced software. it makes people like you make bad assumptions. i love flash, but its support is what sux, not flash itself. | 14:30 |
| zorglu_ | flaccid-: how do you pay rent/food ? | 14:30 |
| flaccid- | you are merely guessing | 14:30 |
| pim | Could anyone tell me what the advantage of ubuntu is over Debian? | 14:30 |
| flaccid- | zorglu_, with a job | 14:30 |
| flaccid- | pim, there is none | 14:30 |
| angasule | flaccid-: right, it's like communism, sounds good in principle, but implementations suck :) | 14:30 |
| Rioting_pacifist | if something used to work in ubuntu its perfectly reasonable to belive that some setting has changed and that that setting can be reverted to get it working fine, i mean the suse guys didnt turn round to linus and say its adobes fault move along now, they tracked down the problem at thier end and fixed it, maybe thats why hes on opensuse not ubuntu tho | 14:30 |
| angasule | pim: ubuntu is better polished | 14:31 |
| drurew | FLAME WAR :D | 14:31 |
| zorglu_ | flaccid-: doing opensource dev? | 14:31 |
| flaccid- | angasule, they never put decent resources into supporint *niz | 14:31 |
| flaccid- | nix | 14:31 |
| drurew | boom | 14:31 |
| angasule | pim: I use both, btw, and love both :) | 14:31 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, ignorance. | 14:31 |
| pim | Ubuntu is more userfriendly you mean? | 14:31 |
| Rioting_pacifist | pim: ubuntu do time based release cycles, debain dont | 14:31 |
| angasule | flaccid-: I'd say it sucks on windows as well | 14:31 |
| Rioting_pacifist | thats it | 14:31 |
| angasule | pim: yes, but there is more to it than that | 14:31 |
| pim | So why has someone decided to fork debian? | 14:31 |
| drurew | :D | 14:32 |
| drurew | just take the custard instead | 14:32 |
| drurew | ;P | 14:32 |
| Rioting_pacifist | flash runs on linux as a firefox plugin, if it ran fine in 7.10 then it doesnt run fine in 8.04 a change was made somewhere in the linux side as flash 9 has not changed | 14:32 |
| flaccid- | closed sourced software rarely works inline with OS standards... | 14:32 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, thats what you think. quite different from reality. | 14:32 |
| flaccid- | have a look at the flash versions | 14:33 |
| flaccid- | then come back | 14:33 |
| zorglu_ | and opensource got significant marketing power :) | 14:33 |
| pim | angasule why do you use both? | 14:33 |
| Rioting_pacifist | no it has significantly less, hence apple is bigger | 14:33 |
| drurew | Rioting_pacifist: why dont you check what your running ...versions of new software may conflict old settings | 14:33 |
| flaccid- | omg the ignorance | 14:33 |
| drurew | yeah guys this is way off toppic | 14:34 |
| zorglu_ | yep clearly :) | 14:34 |
| drurew | you know where to tak eit ??? | 14:34 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, now please look at this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=flashplugin-nonfree&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all it shows the change in versions between releases. flash changed, the distro didn't...... | 14:34 |
| angasule | pim: I have different uses for different computers, I use kubuntu hardy on my main desktop, kubuntu dapper on the family desktop (they don't like change), debian etch on server and laptop (it's an old laptop with a low speed net connection) | 14:34 |
| flaccid- | well not really. Rioting_pacifist is claiming problem is kubuntu which it is not | 14:34 |
| zorglu_ | well this is a war opensource vs closesource, pro and con | 14:35 |
| drurew | Rioting_pacifist: the problem is your software ...please RTFM | 14:35 |
| zorglu_ | nah the problem are the others. they are the ones to blame | 14:35 |
| angasule | Rioting_pacifist: flash for linux is particularly badly programmed, I used to follow the blog of the guy in charge of it, and frankly he was so clueless it was frightening | 14:35 |
| zorglu_ | all of them | 14:35 |
| Rioting_pacifist | flaccid- no package in the repos ever contained flash they are just wrappers to the installer which doesnt neciserily change when the wrapper changes | 14:35 |
| flaccid- | so in gutsy it was 9.0.48.0.2 and in hardy it was 9.0.124. this is adobe's change, not ubuntu. so get over it... | 14:36 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, oh please. yes, but they get different versions. | 14:36 |
| flaccid- | get your facts straight | 14:36 |
| drurew | exit | 14:36 |
| Rioting_pacifist | drurew: which manual? | 14:36 |
| zorglu_ | ok i do agree | 14:36 |
| drurew | hahahahahahahahaha | 14:36 |
| zorglu_ | take your war on -offtopic | 14:36 |
| flaccid- | i agree. | 14:36 |
| flaccid- | this has nothing to do with ubuntu. | 14:36 |
| Rioting_pacifist | thats all i wanted to know which manuals do i need to read to sort out the flash problem | 14:36 |
| flaccid- | take it somewhere else. | 14:36 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, reading a manual is not going to help. | 14:37 |

| drurew | Rioting_pacifist: you wll have to start somewhere ...esp if you dont know what your loking for | 14:38 |
| Rioting_pacifist | i though you know a support channel might of been of some use | 14:38 |
| Rioting_pacifist | flaccid-: flash9 was last updated december 2007, my gutsy install was done in feb so it is the same version of flash | 14:39 |
| zorglu_ | Rioting_pacifist: the issue is that you talked about something unpopular here. so you are blacklisted for a while ... like in 2h or tomorrow they will forget. but for now you wont get the best out of this channel | 14:39 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, dude. that doesnt actually compare versions at all. you are disregarding many things and im over talking with you on this take it somwhere else like #idontunderstandclosedsourcesoftware | 14:40 |
| drurew | http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/index.cfm?forumid=15 | 14:40 |
| zorglu_ | flaccid-: if .124 is bugged, and .48 work, you can easily install the .48 by only overwriting the .so | 14:40 |
| flaccid- | zorglu_, i know this. | 14:40 |
| zorglu_ | flaccid-: my bad it was for Rioting_pacifist | 14:41 |
| zorglu_ | Rioting_pacifist: see above | 14:41 |
| flaccid- | flash is the worst for konqueror users. have a look at this. because of the change in api/binary this is what opera users have to do: http://my.opera.com/remcolanting/blog/2008/04/14/opera-and-flash-on-linux | 14:41 |
| flaccid- | so some flash versions work, some don't and most have issues in terms of video. nothing to do with ubuntu or linux or kde. | 14:42 |
| flaccid- | can i shutup now or what? | 14:42 |
| Rioting_pacifist | please do | 14:42 |
| zorglu_ | flaccid-: please do :) | 14:42 |

| Rioting_pacifist | im using Kubuntu this channel is for kubuntu user support, as much as you hate flash im working though the links provided by the usefull members here, if i have a problem following those guides ill ask for more help | 14:45 |
| flaccid- | i don't get worked up by users | 14:45 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, but the support you are seeking is out of kubuntu's control, do you get that? | 14:45 |
| shane__ | KDE 4.1 has anyone tryed it yet and how is it | 14:45 |
| flaccid- | shane__ pretty good for me, but still some bugs that i don't like | 14:46 |
| shane__ | like what | 14:46 |
| haryono | tell me how to kubuntu jakarta indonesia pls | 14:46 |
| Rioting_pacifist | only if the problem is with the flash.so version and not with a part of my system other than the .so | 14:46 |
| flaccid- | um mainly still problems with plasma, thats probably the main one for me. configs saving, glitches and dying | 14:46 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, correct. Kubuntu did not make the plugin, Adobe did | 14:47 |
| shane__ | flaccid-: oh ok so im best to wait a few weeks and see if it gets better over some updates | 14:47 |
| flaccid- | shane__, you are welcome to give it a go now if you would like. kde3 and 4 can co-operate fine on the same system | 14:47 |
| Rioting_pacifist | yes i fully understand that the .so is made by adobe the same way the my restricted drivers are made by ati but it is possible that the problem isnt caused by those two | 14:48 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, provide a POC please and then the dev team can look into it. | 14:48 |
| Rioting_pacifist | a POC? | 14:48 |

| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, lol so you never reverted back to the version Adobe made for gutsy... heh | 14:52 |

| Rioting_pacifist | flaccid-: there was no version of flash for gutsy, you had to install it manually from thier website, ive tried that version but as you pointed out i dont know if thats the same version i had on gutsy | 14:53 |
| zorglu_ | Rioting_pacifist: find out the version | 14:54 |

| dergringo | Hi. How do I sync Kontact (KDE3) with a funambol syncml server? | 16:04 |
| frybye | i used the destop effects menupoint in system on kde3 and have a window showing standard effect - extra effect and so on - but when i click on extra effect and APPLY - nothing happens.. | 16:05 |
| adz21c | dergringo: kitchensync | 16:05 |
| frybye | not sure if compiz engine is installed correctly.. how can I check please.. folks at compiz fusion channel not so hot on kubuntu - specific stuff.. | 16:05 |
| frybye | does sbdy have a console command to install compiz-fusion for kde3??? | 16:07 |
| frybye | including the stuff like the cube if possible..? | 16:08 |
| jussi01 | frybye: are you running 8.04? | 16:08 |
| jussi01 | it should be installed... | 16:08 |
| frybye | yes jussi01 | 16:09 |
| * DOOM_NX mpainw windows | 16:09 | |
| jussi01 | frybye: system - desktop effects | 16:09 |
| genii | frybye: For the cube and so on you need the compizconfig-settings-manager where you go and tell it what sort of interface to use in compiz, etc etc | 16:09 |
| frybye | how do I start that c-set-man? | 16:10 |
| genii | frybye: The packagename is as I have it above. To call it alt-f2 then: ccsm | 16:11 |
| Rioting_pacifist | my flash problem was infact related to ATI proprietory drivers, and i cite the fact that radon drivers allow me to watch fullscreen video without any probelms as POC | 16:11 |
| frybye | it says command canoot be executed... | 16:11 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, i still don't understand what you mean. where is your POC ? | 16:11 |
| frybye | hang on i uninstalled some stuff .. wait a min... | 16:12 |
| Rioting_pacifist | well it proves that the problem isnt to do with flash | 16:12 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, hangon you get better performance with "radeon" and not "fglrx" ? | 16:12 |
| Rioting_pacifist | well compiz doesnt work so i fell back to fluxbox but the flash issue is fixed | 16:12 |
| Rioting_pacifist | frambufferd TTYS seam to be offering me less problems than under ATI too | 16:13 |
| frybye | the ccsm command will not execute??? | 16:13 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, i would never expect compiz to work with flash. fluxbox and compiz have nothing to do with flash or drivers, so i don';t know what you are saying? | 16:13 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, X drivers do not work under other TTYs only the X session | 16:14 |
| Rioting_pacifist | flaccid-: radeon doesnt support compiz or atleast my xorg.conf with raedon doesnt, so i fell back to fluxbox that doesnt require composting | 16:14 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, like i said earlier, composite does not work with flash. | 16:15 |
| flaccid- | window manager has nothing to do with it. | 16:15 |
| frybye | ccsm was not installed... getting it now.. | 16:15 |
| dergringo | adz21c: It looks like kitchensync (opensync) is not able to sync to a remote syncml host (funambol) using http. it just offers a syncml SERVER for mobile devices. | 16:15 |
| Rioting_pacifist | yes but it wasnt just composting, which does work with flash BTW, that wasnt working it was ATI drivers causing the problem | 16:16 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, prove it... and it doesn't matter both fglrx and flash are restricted so my claim still is correct -nothing to do with ubuntu. still i'd like to read your POC. | 16:16 |
| Rioting_pacifist | well im not sure how the X drivers interact with TTYs but raedon and ' "UseFBDev" "true"' is giving me less glitches, previously the entire third botom of the screen wasnt working | 16:17 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, and yes it depends what window manager using composite and what composite functions you are using. i know its easy to guess but there is much you don't know about | 16:17 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, yeah, just stop making assumptions and its all good. innocent until proven guilty.. | 16:17 |
| adz21c | dergringo: i personally using opensync direct cos kitchensync screws for me | 16:18 |
| frybye | ok ... have got the cube working but it only has 2 sides.. how to get 4??? | 16:18 |
| Rioting_pacifist | i never made an assumtions you just went off on one over flash my only assumtion was that it was probably my ATI and flash not playing nice, which is what it was | 16:18 |
| Rioting_pacifist | frybye: change the number of desktops under compiz settings | 16:18 |
| genii | frybye: What Rioting_pacifist said | 16:18 |
| Rioting_pacifist | btw what does useFBDev change because the TTYS work alot better now, can i add that to xorg.conf when fglrx is in use? | 16:19 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, you are still incorrect | 16:19 |
| frybye | I have the ccsm running but dont seem to be able to find the place to change number of desktops.. | 16:19 |
| dergringo | adz21c: you are able to sync kontact with a remote syncml server? | 16:20 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, you do realise that you are still making assumptions... | 16:20 |
| adz21c | i use opensync with kdepim to my mobile phone which is syncml over bluetooth | 16:21 |
| genii | frybye: They'll know in #compiz-fusion | 16:21 |
| Rioting_pacifist | frybye: its at the top general options | 16:21 |
| Rioting_pacifist | flaccid-: im making working assumtions otherwise you never get anywhere, id just stare at my computer and go "umm something wrong", better to try and fix it one way than just go back to windows | 16:22 |
| adz21c | dergringo: i use opensync with kdepim to my mobile phone which is syncml over bluetooth | 16:22 |

| makdaknife | hi | 16:23 |
| makdaknife | two of my hardy systems have suddenly stopped being able to play DVDs.... I have libdvdcss and libdvdread stuff all installed... any tips? | 16:24 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, you need technical knowledge to make something other than an assumption... | 16:24 |
| frybye | Rioting_pacifist: In general options there is - general - commands - desktopsize - display settings - focus and raise behavoiur - key bindings - opacity settinghs.. find not place for set number of sides to cube or similar..? | 16:24 |
| flaccid- | assumptions can be detrimental | 16:25 |
| hacker | 是不是中国的频道 | 16:25 |
| Rioting_pacifist | desktopsize | 16:25 |
| frybye | ah i see.. called size.. sorry... | 16:25 |
| dergringo | adz21c: yes that is possible... | 16:25 |
| Rioting_pacifist | flaccid-: aslong as you drop your assumtion when faced with contradictory evidence they're not | 16:25 |
| Rioting_pacifist | like say assuming flash is the cause of all problems and cant be fix, | 16:25 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, i am yet to see any evidence from you , just guesses | 16:26 |
| flaccid- | um no | 16:26 |
| flaccid- | !ops | 16:26 |
| ubottu | Help! Riddell, Tm_T, fdoving, Mez, stdin, jpatrick, seth_k, apokryphos, nalioth, Hobbsee, robotgeek, imbrandon, gnomefreak, Hawkwind, trappist, LjL, Jucato, haggai, fooishbar, crimsun, seth, apokryphos, DBO, nixternal, PriceChild or jussi01! | 16:26 |
| frybye | nw i have 4 sides to the cube but only two windows at bottom right of screen..? | 16:26 |
| Mez | why the ops call ? | 16:27 |
| genii | flaccid-: What was that about? | 16:27 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist is starting this flash roundabout again | 16:27 |
| Rioting_pacifist | click on it, the desktop pagers doesnt work well, there is something called compiz-desktop pager that works *a bit* better | 16:27 |
| flaccid- | i guess i should ignore | 16:27 |
| genii | Bah thats not op-worthy | 16:27 |
| flaccid- | i havnt been told what is op worth and what is not :) | 16:27 |
| makdaknife | hmm nobody wanna help me out with my DVD issues? | 16:27 |
| Mez | flaccid, just because you disagree with someone - doesnt need an ops call | 16:28 |
| Rioting_pacifist | flaccid-: talking about flash isnt a crime round here | 16:28 |
| flaccid- | Mez, link me so i can understand :) | 16:28 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, there is no crime around here | 16:28 |
| Mez | flaccid, link you to WHAT? | 16:28 |
| Mez | makdaknife, anything which disrupts the channel in a manner which needs to be dealt with immediately (flooding, trolling, spammers, etc etc) | 16:29 |
| flaccid- | Mez, well Rioting_pacifist has been going on about this for hours. i thought that a user repeating for hours would worthy an op call. id like to know what does worthy an op call ? | 16:29 |
| Mez | or action against the CoC | 16:29 |
| frybye | I clicked on the virt. workspaces thing at bottom right and selected 4 workspaces but it did not change..? | 16:29 |
| Rioting_pacifist | frybye: when you install the compiz-pager you need to add it to the desktop bar as it wont replace the kwin one (btw it wont play nice with kwin) | 16:29 |
| frybye | compiz-pager???? | 16:29 |
| flaccid- | Mez, ok i'll ignore in the future, thanks. | 16:30 |
| makdaknife | Mez: sorry? I was just looking for some help | 16:30 |
| Rioting_pacifist | flaccid-: just like your mummy said if youve got nothing usefull to say STFU | 16:30 |
| Jucato | Rioting_pacifist: please watch the language | 16:30 |
| frybye | Rioting - please explain - what is the compiz-pager - how to use/add it to the desktop bar...? | 16:30 |
| flaccid- | Mez, how about that ^ should i just accept it? | 16:31 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, how about you stfu | 16:31 |
| Mez | !language | 16:31 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 16:31 |
| Jucato | flaccid-: you shouldn't fight back | 16:31 |
| Rioting_pacifist | frybye the kde pager doesnt working with compiz, you need to search the repos i forget the name of the program but its something like compiz-pager | 16:31 |
| flaccid- | Jucato, what should i do ? | 16:31 |
| Mez | Rioting_pacifist, flaccid- I dont want any language in here. | 16:31 |
| frybye | so do I have to hold the coats for two of you guys to step outside or what.. heheh | 16:31 |
| flaccid- | i didn't know an acronym was bad language :) | 16:32 |
| Jucato | flaccid-: I thought you already put him on ignore... | 16:32 |
| genii | frybye: Alternately what I tend to do is just remove the pager after compiz starts, then re-add it, after that it works fine | 16:32 |
| flaccid- | Jucato, hard to ignore when it fills my screen :( | 16:32 |
| Rioting_pacifist | yeah even fsck can get you warned if you use it in an offensive manner | 16:32 |
| Mez | Rioting_pacifist, you are welcome to file a bug if you believe there is an issue with flash, however, at the moment, it dont seems that there is anyone here able to help you | 16:32 |
| Mez | Rioting_pacifist, indeed. | 16:32 |
| Mez | flaccid-, "stfu" - work out what the "f" in it means | 16:33 |
| Mez | anyway, I'd like people to calm down. | 16:33 |
| flaccid- | Mez, no worries | 16:33 |
| Mez | flaccid-, look up the /silence command | 16:33 |
| Mez | Rioting_pacifist, please, feel free to go report a bug | 16:33 |
| flaccid- | its just not mentioned explicitly in the CoC thats all | 16:33 |
| Rioting_pacifist | Mez: i already found a work around i dont think ubuntu devs can do anything about it, but if somebody complains about flash full screen the workaround is to use the free drivers | 16:33 |
| flaccid- | lol | 16:34 |
| flaccid- | what about users that need 3D ? | 16:34 |
| Mez | Rioting_pacifist, as I've said - feel free to report a bug. Or there's a howto section on the forums | 16:34 |
| Rioting_pacifist | flaccid-: well then they cant use flash full screen | 16:34 |
| Mez | flaccid-, by responding, you're only creating more chance for this to get ugly. So - a factoid that I havent used in a while | 16:34 |
| Mez | !stop | Rioting_pacifist flaccid- | 16:35 |
| ubottu | Rioting_pacifist flaccid-: NOTICE - Please stop this discussion NOW. See !offtopic for things that are inappropriate to discuss in this channel. Continuing will result in action being taken. | 16:35 |
| chakie | has anyone noticed that their ipods aren't automatically mounted anymore on hardy? | 16:35 |
| chakie | mine worked fine for a year or so and recently after som update it just won't get mounted anymore (also, amarok nuked the database on it so i had to factory reset it) | 16:36 |
| haryono | Why my hardiisk sound noisy when I start and the computer hang during the operation? | 16:36 |
| Rioting_pacifist | compiz launches itself as soon as kde starts, how do i stop this? i looked in /usr/share/autostart and ~./kde/autostart but didnt see anything | 16:37 |
| genii | haryono: PErhaps the computer is hanging because the sound of the hard drive is it's indication of physical failure | 16:37 |
| Mez | haryono, I'd guess an issue with the HDD | 16:37 |
| haryono | how to fix the problem or identifying its failure? | 16:38 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, are your sessions turned on? | 16:38 |
| frybye | hmmm have it all working nice - thanx to all who helped.. free beer waiting in berlin... | 16:39 |
| Rioting_pacifist | thier turned on but with compiz and kde-window-deco excluded, i cant get into kde to properly turn them off tho | 16:39 |
| Rioting_pacifist | will deleteing everything in sessions mean the next session is blank? | 16:40 |
| Mez | Rioting_pacifist, can you get to a console when it's running? | 16:40 |
| Mez | if so - just do kwin --replace & | 16:40 |
| Mez | and then you can get in to turn them off | 16:40 |
| genii | haryono: If you have some working computer with a cd burner I would suggest to download and make the Ultimate Boot CD which can do many diagnostics | 16:40 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, i think you need to turn off compiz with kwin as above then logout then on login it will be off | 16:41 |
| Rioting_pacifist | i get a white screen of death so i cant do anything in kwin, actually nvm i can always change to fglrx to do it, if i keep two xorg.confs lying around i should be ok | 16:42 |
| haryono | i have no other computer at home this is the only computer i use now | 16:43 |
| Mez | Rioting_pacifist, oh the fun of proprietary hardware eh? | 16:43 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, there are bugs on launchpad with that behaviour across a few different drivers | 16:43 |
| Rioting_pacifist | what the white screen of death or the f***** thing | 16:44 |
| genii | haryono: From the livecd you could try to fsck the drive in question | 16:45 |
| haryono | what kind of live cd i must use? | 16:45 |
| flaccid- | Rioting_pacifist, you could search launchpad. its mainly with the restricted drivers | 16:46 |
| genii | haryono: Some linux one | 16:46 |
| genii | haryono: Since fsck is common to all linux | 16:46 |
| haryono | can i use ubuntu cd for fixing? | 16:47 |
| genii | haryono: For booting to cd and trying to determine the problem, yes. For fixing, perhaps if it is at all possible | 16:48 |

| genii | frybye: When nothing happens it's usually a good thing. | 17:18 |

| frybye | yeah but you know "should..." heheh | 17:19 |

| === FoxI2 is now known as FoxII | ||
| frybye | ok then - what do you sugest doing when smthing just sits there and does not react.. it is visible in the gui but inactive.. and has just been installed.. a re-boot seems the only logical process now or..? | 17:20 |
| genii | frybye: Make sure the directory you are sharing exists. What you mean by "visible but inactive" | 17:20 |
| frybye | when i click on the entry in the gui-menu for samba nothing apparently happens - no window opens - nothing too be seen.. | 17:21 |
| frybye | I was hoping for this gui- samba-config-thing... | 17:21 |
| frybye | as a newbie I dont know enough to do it -on my own- with the consule.. | 17:22 |
| genii | frybye: When you run it from the System...Samba it should prompt for password. After that you use it to declare shares and so on. It's not some browser for sambe, just a configuration tool. | 17:22 |
| frybye | so i gave to use the consule - despite the fact that in adept it spec said that it was a gui to use for samba dir settings etc..?? | 17:23 |
| frybye | hang on... | 17:24 |
| genii | frybye: The directories to share there are on the box you are using. It will write the samba configuration file to reflect this, and so than after this you go on a wondows machine on the network and are able to gain access to those shares. | 17:25 |
| genii | Bah typos | 17:25 |
| frybye | genii: in the adept if says - system-config-samba - installier - keine änderung GUI for managing samba shares and users..? but where is it now...? | 17:26 |
| frybye | e e installiert - ie is installed.. I am on a German kubuntu... | 17:26 |

| genii | frybye: What more exactly are you trying to achieve as some end-goal in this exercise? It may be easier to approach it from this way. | 17:33 |
| Odd-rationale | grendal_prime: try koncontrol --> regional and acc. --> keybaord | 17:34 |
| frybye | yeah - trying to set up lan access between my comp2 here and comp1 which is 1 m to the left of this one via a router/home network,,, | 17:35 |
| genii | frybye: And this other computer is some Windows based thing? | 17:35 |
| frybye | there is a set of folders on the other box (64x home vista..) which I need access too.. yes vista.. | 17:35 |
| frybye | i need it for work... | 17:36 |
| frybye | financed by an patient care association that I do some stuff for.. | 17:36 |
| frybye | partly at least... | 17:36 |
| frybye | the os was paid for by them - put it that way.. | 17:36 |
| genii | frybye: For just getting files from a Windows box, you don't even need samba. Because the samba client is already on your linux machine by default. All you need to do is just install smb4k and then use that to browse to your Vista box | 17:37 |
| Pennycook | frybye: Typing "smb:" into Konqueror should bring up the accessible samba shares. | 17:37 |
| frybye | and I am a bit nervous cos until i ahve the net access I cant creat an image of this box - should anyhting happen.. | 17:37 |
| genii | Pennycook: No, it is broken. | 17:37 |
| frybye | I use firefox - can I do that.. | 17:37 |
| genii | frybye: Not in firefox. | 17:37 |
| frybye | hang on - what first - smb4k install and then command smb in konq.. right?? | 17:38 |
| genii | frybe: You *should* normally be able to do it from in Konqueror or in Dolphin with the smb:// prefix, but it does not work currently without installing additionally the smbfs package | 17:38 |
| * genii sighs | 17:39 | |
| genii | frybye: smb4k is it's own network browser | 17:40 |
| frybye | ok have installed smb4k - where do I find it...? | 17:41 |

| miglo | Rioting_pacifist yes, very well | 18:47 |
| miglo | I've today removed all the other kernel versions but have still no sound | 18:47 |
| Rioting_pacifist | check its not muted (i know it sounds stupid but its always worth a shot) by turning EVERY channel to max in amixer | 18:47 |

| mefisto__ | ActionParsnip: you can switch off making backups in kwrite's options, probably similar in gedit | 19:46 |
| zippah | my ubuntu install is now stalled on a screen that has the desktop background and a "install" popup window and a curser. this is the worst install of linux i've ever seen, wtf | 19:46 |
| ActionParsnip | mefisto__: yeah found it bro | 19:46 |

| DaSkreech | ActionParsnip: gnome apps are unlikely to be installed by most folks in this chan and Gnome stuff is also notorious amongst KDE fanatics for not having any options so they wouldn't even hazard a guess :) | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | DaSkreech: usually they have a similar api, I find #Kubuntu to house the smarter peeps | 19:48 |
| ActionParsnip | DaSkreech: personal experience talking here | 19:48 |
| DaSkreech | ActionParsnip: Yes I understand But you are talking about an option :) KDE guys wil not step into the world of Gnome Options. It's one of the big diffrentiators | 19:49 |

| DJG9282 | because i changed it | 20:18 |
| DaSkreech | you changed root mode? | 20:19 |
| DJG9282 | what i did | 20:19 |
| DJG9282 | is i went into the main root account | 20:19 |
| DJG9282 | because what i wanted to do | 20:19 |
| DJG9282 | was make a separate "internet" account for myself | 20:19 |

| DJG9282 | so i went in there | 20:20 |
| DaSkreech | right | 20:20 |
| DJG9282 | and i switched it all up | 20:20 |
| DaSkreech | why? | 20:20 |
| DJG9282 | i changed the directories | 20:20 |
| DJG9282 | well the reason why i changed the directories was so i could still use the same folders under a new account name | 20:21 |
| DJG9282 | unfortunately...when i tried to get into the first user account | 20:21 |
| DJG9282 | it said "no way" | 20:21 |

| DaSkreech | DJG9282: I'm running out but once you get the live CD up ask someone here how to mount your drive and chroot into it | 20:25 |

| JuJuBee | How do I automount an ntfs partition when kubuntu boots? I keep my music library on the ntfs drive and want it available for Amarok. | 21:34 |
| JuJuBee | Should I just put an entry in /etc/fstab ? or another way? | 21:35 |
| llutz | fstab is the place | 21:35 |
| JuJuBee | K | 21:35 |
| JuJuBee | What is the easiest way to figure out what /def/??? the ntfs partition is? | 21:37 |
| llutz | sudo fdisk -l|grep ntfs | 21:37 |
| mefisto__ | make that grep -i or grep NTFS | 21:41 |
| JuJuBee | got it, thanks | 21:41 |
| JuJuBee | does hardy use ntfs-3g? | 21:42 |
| tzd | if a bug is reported and there's a solution then that should be stated in the header right? I mean, where can i see if the issue has been resolved please? | 21:42 |
| JuJuBee | trying to figure out what to put into fstab /dev/sdb1 /mnt/winxp ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 ? | 21:42 |
| tekgeeklt | I have a few little issues right now but one that is very annoying is that I can not resize any windows ... I get the little arrow on the corner of any window but I can not click and drag them .. but I can hit maximize and that works | 21:43 |
| mefisto__ | JuJuBee: yes it uses ntfs-3g. look in kmenu > system for NTFS configuration tool. It set up my fstab automatically | 21:43 |
| tzd | JuJuBee: I'm pretty sure ntfs-3g should be just ntfs in fstab... the other options i can't remember though :/ | 21:44 |
| mefisto__ | JuJuBee: also, it's better to make the mountpoint in /media instead of /mnt | 21:44 |
| JuJuBee | no ntfs tool using kde4 and ok will use media | 21:45 |
| JuJuBee | weird, when I mount it I can ls using cli and see everything, but when I use Dolphin, I cannot even see /media/WINXP | 21:48 |
| JuJuBee | Konqueror works though | 21:49 |
| mefisto__ | JuJuBee: what about media:/ in dolphin? does that work? | 21:50 |
| jhutchins_wk | JuJuBee: How are you mounting it? | 21:50 |
| jhutchins_wk | JuJuBee: I think you may be mounting it with root access only. | 21:50 |

| jessica_ | i beleve it needs the gcpca driver | 22:09 |
| engineer | tried loading that driver? | 22:10 |
| jessica_ | yes i dont think kubuntu has it (im using gutsy) | 22:11 |
| Haza | Evening folks. just a quick question. Does kubuntu has the same sort of software that allows me to see what processes are eating cpu and ram (like windows task manager) | 22:12 |
| engineer | ksysguard | 22:12 |
| tzd | Haza: try ctrl + esc | 22:12 |
| Haza | Ahhhh | 22:12 |
| Haza | Thats it! :D | 22:12 |
| Haza | Cheers! | 22:12 |
| tzd | np ;) | 22:13 |
| * Haza has finally made the final move to all linux recently ;) | 22:13 | |
| Haza | I stared by moving over the server then decided to move over for my daily use lappy | 22:13 |
| Haza | Amazing...! | 22:13 |
| jessica_ | dose anyone know how to get the gcpca installed | 22:13 |
| Haza | *started | 22:13 |
| engineer | modprobe gcpca | 22:13 |
| jessica_ | thanks | 22:14 |
| tzd | hehe yeah i've recently went all linux too... formatted my old ntfs drives ;P | 22:14 |
| jessica_ | FATAL: Module gcpca not found. | 22:14 |
| Haza | My only problem is im starting to think that Kubuntu will auto complete everything for me. Even IRC conversation :) | 22:14 |
| engineer | jessica_ http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html | 22:15 |
| caryjebus | werid | 22:15 |
| * adz21c wishes he could go all linux but enjoys gaming too much ... thinks maybe he should mail bomb game devs till they start using opengl etc | 22:15 | |
| jessica_ | oo i spelt it wrong god i feel so noobish | 22:15 |
| engineer | ... | 22:15 |
| engineer | sudo modprobe by the way | 22:15 |
| jessica_ | i spelt it gcpca its gspca | 22:16 |
| pteague_work | could somebody please tell me how to get the taskbar to put some sort of border around each of the window tabs? | 22:16 |
| jessica_ | ok thanks | 22:16 |
| coucouf | no problem, noobs are affectionate animals ^^ | 22:17 |
| tzd | pteague_work: righ click panel - > adjust panel ... -> activity field - > Look: classic | 22:18 |
| tzd | pteague_work: that's freely translated by the way so don't take the "titles" too seriously ;) | 22:18 |
| caryjebus | adz | 22:19 |
| caryjebus | heard of somethg called | 22:19 |
| caryjebus | WINE, Cedega!!! | 22:19 |
| caryjebus | >_< | 22:19 |
| adz21c | yea they are ok, but they dont do all games | 22:19 |
| adz21c | cedege i stopped using, i was getting no where with it, so i cancelled subscription etc | 22:19 |
| adz21c | wine is ok, particularly with my old games | 22:20 |
| adz21c | but some of them (splinter cell for example) it fails | 22:20 |
| caryjebus | then use virtualization or emulation] | 22:20 |
| adz21c | for splinter cell? how ..... | 22:20 |
| pteague_work | tzd: k, i found it in configure panel -> taskbar -> appearance -> classic ... thanks for info though, i scanned past that earlier & didn't notice it | 22:20 |
| caryjebus | and who gets cedega that way? ;) | 22:21 |
| tzd | pteague_work: thank for the proper translation :) | 22:21 |
| caryjebus | IDK... can somehere explan how to virtalize windows? | 22:21 |
| adz21c | it wont work | 22:21 |
| adz21c | i got windows virtualised | 22:22 |
| adz21c | for the odd desktop app i need | 22:22 |
| === snake_ is now known as albuntu | ||
| adz21c | it cant even run star trek armada (4mb graphics card and 32mb of ram) | 22:22 |
| engineer | omg | 22:22 |
| engineer | i could run that here | 22:23 |
| adz21c | well i play that via wine, but virtualised windows can;t play it | 22:23 |
| adz21c | so if virtualised windows can't play star trek armada its got no hope with games such as splinter cell | 22:24 |
| caryjebus | :\ | 22:24 |
| adz21c | thus, for the odd game i still need a windows install, but wine is getting better | 22:24 |
| adz21c | star trek legacy worked straight out, no messing | 22:25 |
| adz21c | hl2 seems fine as well | 22:25 |
| tzd | I've got a problem with Fuppes autostart after a fresh install. For some reason it won't start at boot. Before reinstalling kubuntu hardy it worked perfectly? | 22:25 |
| caryjebus | only one game of mine dosnt work with cedega or wine | 22:25 |
| caryjebus | :\ | 22:25 |
| massimo | join #ubuntu | 22:26 |
| adz21c | well i have a couple, but tbh i don't game that much and ones i tend to play do work with wine, but for example the new splinter cell is out later this year so i will need a windows install for that, but once i completed it i doubt i will log into windows for a while | 22:26 |
| kyle__ | hello? | 22:29 |
| kyle__ | I have a question about wine, original half life, kubuntu | 22:30 |
| adz21c | kyle__: just ask and someone will answer if they know | 22:31 |
| rickest | ask so we can find out if someone can help or not | 22:31 |
| kyle__ | when I try to play in full screen it goes to the loading screen. I can hear all the sound from the game but it never gets past the loading screen. | 22:32 |
| kyle__ | when I run it windowed, it shuts down when i click new game. | 22:32 |
| rickest | kyle__: really the original original game or are you playing it through steam now? | 22:33 |
| kyle__ | original | 22:33 |
| rickest | kyle__: Google might be able to help with that but most guides nowadays are for steam | 22:34 |
| adz21c | kyle__: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=8 this may hold some answers, it seems to get good ratings so i would imagine it should would great, but that might have bug reports etc that might help u | 22:34 |
| kyle__ | thats the problem i have been running into | 22:34 |
| rickest | kyle__: have you tried the winedb database. may be some old entries left in there | 22:35 |
| kyle__ | checking it out now, thank you for all your help | 22:35 |
| rickest | good luck, kinda tough to solve | 22:36 |

| Haza | This might be a daft question but.... ive used scp to upload files to a remote machine before... how might i use scp to download files from a remote machine? | 22:48 |
| rickest | Haza: change the order of the args; scp remote_host:path/to/files/* . | 22:48 |
| Haza | rickest: Ahhh, Cheers i will give it a try. :) | 22:49 |
| Haza | rickest: Perfect. Thank you | 22:49 |

| ign0ramus | Hey all. Still looking for a Parental Controls app (web filtering, mainly) that doesn't require using a server. Any thoughts? | 22:51 |
| rickest | Haza: you can even mix & match multiple srcs, local and remote, to one dest; i.e., scp host1:somefile somefile2 host2:path/to/foo host3: # puts somefile, somefiles2, and foo on host3 | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | hey all, can someone suggest a web based jukebox app that wil play music on the server and not stream it to the client system? | 22:55 |
| hollemolle | Hi, anyone knows how to set the vpnc.conf so that it doesnt use the vpn tunnel for my private network? | 22:57 |
| hollemolle | and for one more network, all the others should go through vpn | 22:58 |
| Fingertip | Should I have any problems with a plug and play monitor? | 22:59 |

| Neuer | Hello. I have a probleme with my Sound. I'm useing Hardy Kubuntu and the soundchip is SI7012. The probleme is, no sound works, but if I start amarok it does for that, though I cann't let 2 programms run at the same time | 23:41 |
| engineer | man apt-get | 23:41 |
| engineer | ffs | 23:41 |
| engineer | Neuer you need arts | 23:42 |
| sima | kooo | 23:42 |
| BluesKaj | Neuer, k-menu/system settings/sound system/enable sound system,then choose hardware tab/select the audio device/Advanced Linux Sound Architecture, click apply | 23:43 |
| Neuer | It is activated. | 23:44 |
| BluesKaj | Neuer, then in the terminal type ' alsamixer ', make sure the Master, PCM, Line & CD are all unmuted ,by using the "M" key' | 23:44 |
| Neuer | Is | 23:45 |
| BluesKaj | ok try , sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart in the terminal | 23:45 |
| Neuer | I guess the probs is with my TV-Card. I had a similar prob with feisty but got that fixed. Under Hardy somehow the steps have no effect. | 23:46 |
| BluesKaj | sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart | 23:46 |
| BluesKaj | Neuer, I have to ask the obvious , do you have the ctrls in alsamixer up to 71% or so ? | 23:46 |
| sm7xab | Hi! I've been trying to get an NVidia card working with NVidia binary drivers on Kubuntu 8.04. This seems to be an impossible task on this distribution. Does anyone have a link or so with good documentation? | 23:47 |
| BluesKaj | !nVidia | 23:47 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 23:47 |
| Neuer | if you meen the volume settings, nop up to 100 | 23:48 |
| BluesKaj | Neuer,don't go over 71% ...you'll just overdrive the amp inputs | 23:49 |
| BluesKaj | Neuer, open kmix and enable Master & PCM on the output tab , then CD & IEC playback (if listed) in the Input tab , next make sure Mix & IEC958 are enabled in the Switches tab , then click on Settings/Configure Kmix and apply | 23:49 |
| vom | hi all, does anyone know anything about windows moving to different workspaces on their own accord in hardy (i.e. firefox when link is clicked in akregator) | 23:49 |
| vom | ive looked at launchpad and kubuntu/ubuntu forums and only found one message (without an answer) | 23:50 |
| BluesKaj | vom, could you explain more clearly ....what "exactly' is happening ? | 23:51 |
| vom | BluesKaj: yes, lets say firefox is open in workspace 2, and akregator in workspace 3 (i have 6 in the pager) | 23:52 |
| vom | when i click on a link in akregator, it opens in firefox | 23:52 |
| Neuer | doesn't work | 23:52 |
| vom | BUT firefox moves from ws 2 to 3 (follows akregator) | 23:53 |
| vom | this happens with kopete too | 23:53 |
| BluesKaj | that's cuz you have FF as the default browser globally | 23:53 |
| vom | BluesKaj: indeed i do | 23:54 |
| vom | but still why is it changing desktops and not staying put ? | 23:54 |
| vom | this didnt happen in < hardy | 23:54 |
| vom | should i change the default browser back to default and hardcode it in akregator ? | 23:55 |
| BluesKaj | beyond me vom , sorry ...don't use several desktops | 23:55 |
| vom | BluesKaj: thanks anyway | 23:55 |
| shane__ | Odd-rationale: ok how about this i used it as new data dvd will this play in the dvd player now | 23:56 |
| vom | hmm hardcoding it makes it not move anymore | 23:56 |
| vom | now to beat on kopete | 23:56 |
| gokorn | how to upgrade from 3.5 to 4.1 kde? | 23:57 |
| BluesKaj | Neuer, you could try installing libk3b2-mp3 and libxine1-ffmpeg | 23:57 |
| caryjebus | is there a progam for mounting ISOS in linux | 23:58 |
| sm7xab | Is there a way to disable the start X in safe mode thingy? I prefer to get a nice black console if X doesn't start. Easier to handle. | 23:58 |
