| rulr | anyone | 00:24 |
| rulr | http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/1813/screenshotkh0.png | 00:24 |
| mkz | can anyone recommend an audio equalizer gui that will let me treak bass/trebel/echo ect. for playback (not recording)? | 00:24 |
| engineer | mitchelhajime normalmente é -> ./configure && make && make install | 00:24 |
| mitchelhajime | 00:24 | |
| mitchelhajime | someone could teach me how to compile a driver of sound? | 00:24 |
| engineer | rulr Instead of asking whether anyone works with something you need help with, please save time by asking your actual question. If someone knows and wants/has time to help, perhaps he/she will. | 00:24 |
| rulr | that is acutal question | 00:25 |
| engineer | this is kubuntu | 00:25 |
| engineer | you should ask in ubuntu channel | 00:25 |
| rulr | can you just take a look for screenshot | 00:25 |
| mitchelhajime | 00:26 | |
| mitchelhajime | I can not compile the driver | 00:26 |
| rulr | ok i will write it here | 00:26 |
| mkz | rulr: clearly he did, that's how he knew it was an ubuntu question | 00:26 |
| engineer | rulr precisely because you're running gnome in the snapshot | 00:26 |
| engineer | i told you to go to the ubuntu channel | 00:26 |
| mitchelhajime | ok | 00:26 |
| rulr | engineer: i loged on kde desktop | 00:26 |
| engineer | that looks like gnome to me | 00:27 |
| rulr | i restarted pc and it was blue kubuntu enviroment, desktop started and i got that error | 00:27 |
| mkz | it's clearly metacity | 00:27 |
| mkz | did you install a gnome app that may have installed metacity? | 00:27 |
| mkz | I've run into that with kubuntu, where gnome and metacity were installed and the default was changed to metacity | 00:28 |
| mkz | restart your desktop (ctrl-alt-backspace) and besure you are set to kde | 00:28 |
| rulr | i am really really new on linux generaly, but i am sure i have loged on kubuntu | 00:28 |
| rulr | i will restart again | 00:28 |
| engineer | rulr log off | 00:28 |
| mkz | rulr: you needn't restart | 00:28 |
| rulr | ok | 00:29 |
| engineer | right click in the login screen | 00:29 |
| engineer | select session | 00:29 |
| engineer | kde or kde4 | 00:29 |
| engineer | then login | 00:29 |
| mkz | rulr: follow engineer's suggestion. If you reload the wm with ctrl-alt-backspace you will be returned to the login screen where you can select the wm... be sure to select kde or kde4 as appropriate | 00:30 |
| RULR | gosh, i didnt expect so big difference between gnome and kde | 00:34 |
| RULR | this one is more windows like | 00:34 |
| engineer | ... | 00:35 |
| engineer | i told ya you didn't login into kde | 00:35 |

| jesus_ | qe pensais al respectp?? | 00:43 |
| engineer | use kde3 | 00:46 |
| engineer | kde4 ain't "stable enough" | 00:46 |
| jesus_ | si yo pienso lo mismo kde esta myuy bien a ver si en el proximo kubuntu se integra mejro el 4 | 00:47 |
| engineer | wait for the official kde release | 00:47 |

| jals | this isnt' so much a kubuntu question, but someone here's bound to know, do i want to set resampling on when i rip cds? | 02:43 |
| myk_robinson | anyone? what is the text file that holds the settings for desktop effects? | 02:45 |
| draik | How do I run two commands at once? | 02:50 |
| _CrashMaster_ | draik: use the | character to seperate commands | 02:51 |
| draik | The root of my question is really, Who has gone through the Basic Missions from HackThisSite.Org? I can't get past level 7 and I'm getting stuck with my commands. | 02:51 |
| draik | _CrashMaster_: I hope that works. Thanks | 02:51 |
| draik | Nope. That didn't do it. | 02:52 |
| draik | I'm trying to get it to open up in a new window, I think. I'm using "screen | cd / | ls" | 02:52 |
| myk_robinson | ummm. nevermind... | 02:57 |
| myk_robinson | if anyone else ever has this problem, log in using a failsafe session, and run desktop-effects-kde4 | 02:58 |
| myk_robinson | then you can turn it off. | 02:58 |
| myk_robinson | never did find what file to edit though | 02:58 |
| draik | The command "cal" is already there. You input the rest. How would I go about opening a new terminal/prompt and view the contents of / ? | 02:58 |

| F-u-z-z-Y | Hi there, I am having problems with evolution mail (/driver?? issues) I can start and run evolution normally when i have my wireless network card switched off (using the switch on the front of the laptop) But when i have the Wireless enable (and connected) Evolution mail runs extremely slow. eg, takes 5 mins after click file for the menu to appear, etc. What can i do to fix it? upgrade wireless drivers perhaps? how? please help...... | 03:50 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | p.s. also tried reinstalling evolution mail | 03:50 |
| flaccid | hmmm no idea. check top when its going slow to see if a process is using a lot of cpu | 03:51 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | hang on i'll do it now | 03:51 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | might take a while cos the wireless is enabled! lol | 03:52 |
| attila | Hello, could somebody help me to install a vid driver I just downloaded? | 03:53 |
| flaccid | just ask attila | 03:53 |
| flaccid | more likely to get a response | 03:54 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | ** still waiting for evolution to load :( ** | 03:54 |
| flaccid | F-u-z-z-Y: what is happening in top in konsole while it does? | 03:55 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | please explain, im quiet new to linux | 03:55 |
| attila | The tar.gz folder has instructions but cant seem to make it work | 03:55 |
| flaccid | F-u-z-z-Y: goto konsole, run the command top and see if it reports cpu useage overflow | 03:56 |
| flaccid | !doestnwork | attila | 03:56 |
| ubottu | Factoid doestnwork not found | 03:56 |
| flaccid | attila: explain why it doesn't work.. | 03:56 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | flaccid: cpu is around 10%. this what your looking for? | 03:57 |
| flaccid | F-u-z-z-Y: yep seems ok there. run evolution from konsole and see if it gives error output while its taking its time.. | 03:58 |
| attila | "install the driver using root account sudo ./vinstall | 03:59 |
| attila | I used konsole but it can't find the file | 04:00 |
| frogonwheels | ANybody got any ideas why my ati dual- screen would work for kdm - but then switch to one monitor once the session stars!? | 04:01 |

| attila | the default driver made a mess after I changed the motherboard | 04:03 |
| flaccid | F-u-z-z-Y: not sure really. you could maybe get help in #mozilla or consider using a better mail client | 04:03 |
| flaccid | attila: for which card? | 04:04 |
| attila | heringbone scrambe | 04:04 |
| clergyman | Hi, I've just installed kubuntu, the KDE4 version.. what's the new name for kcontrol ? Can't find the/a control center anywhere ? | 04:04 |
| attila | VIA Chrome9 | 04:04 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | ok thank you | 04:04 |
| flaccid | clergyman: there is none, but you can use kcontrol/kde3. help for kde4 is in #kubuntu-kde4 | 04:05 |
| flaccid | attila: best to tell us the command you are running and the error otherwise we can't hep | 04:05 |
| flaccid | help | 04:05 |
| attila | ok, I'll try it again and let you know what it says | 04:06 |
| clergyman | ta flaccid | 04:06 |
| flaccid | np | 04:06 |
| clergyman | Just so I understood you correctly, I can change KDE4 settings with kcontrol from KDE3? | 04:07 |
| attila | Konsole is where I should do this kind of stuff, right? | 04:07 |
| flaccid | clergyman: yes, but this question is meant to be asked in the other channel.. | 04:07 |
| flaccid | attila: yeah | 04:07 |
| flaccid | attila: are you reading the doco that came with it as well? | 04:08 |
| attila | yep | 04:08 |
| attila | I type "sudo ./vinstall", it ask for password, I type it in, it says "command not found" | 04:11 |
| flaccid | attila: you would have to be in the directory where that file is which is usually where you extracted the archive.. | 04:11 |
| attila | the folder is downloaded to the desktop and opened with Kate. Do I have to run it in Kate? | 04:13 |
| flaccid | no. | 04:14 |
| flaccid | attila: you have to cd to the right directory where the file vinstall is first in konsole | 04:14 |
| dr_Willis | opened? you dont need to open it with an editor. if its a installer you may need tomake it executable, or use 'sudo sh ./whatever' | 04:15 |
| flaccid | best to learn the cli first before doing this stuff which is why you are having trouble | 04:15 |
| flaccid | dr_Willis: i think the user needs to get to the directory first | 04:15 |
| dr_Willis | or give the proper path. :) but it would be BEST if he would spend an hr reading some shell basics sites. | 04:15 |
| flaccid | yep agreed | 04:15 |
| dr_Willis | brb | 04:16 |
| attila | I did not open the the installer onle the readme file | 04:18 |
| attila | only | 04:19 |
| mr---t- | do you know how to find the desktop directory | 04:19 |
| dr_Willis | couldent fifgure out why my mouse wasent gettting seen when i pluged it into the usb port.. so i rebooted.. then as i was watching it boot... i reaized i pluged it into the WRONG pc.. :) I got one on each side of the monitor. | 04:20 |
| attila | through system menu? | 04:21 |
| dr_Willis | Its amazing how much better mice these days are. compared to some of the old laser mice i have from just a few years back. | 04:21 |
| mr---t- | through konsole | 04:21 |
| attila | no, i don't | 04:22 |
| flaccid | attila: go and learn the shell. the commmand is cd ~/Desktop | 04:22 |
| flaccid | !bash | attila | 04:22 |

| Saint__0 | Hello. | 05:26 |
| dr_Willis | !hi | 05:26 |

| yoanis | thanks everyone | 05:27 |
| yoanis | i runnin hardy heron | 05:27 |
| Saint__0 | Hellz yeah. | 05:27 |
| yoanis | and weirdest thing it's happening with kmail | 05:27 |
| yoanis | whenever i hit the 'Check mail' | 05:27 |
| yoanis | it saids there are no news messages | 05:28 |
| yoanis | i run tshark | 05:28 |
| yoanis | and there a no connection attempts | 05:28 |
| yoanis | it's really weird | 05:28 |
| _strog | wanted to know how i can mount my ntfs drive into kubuntu so that when i start up kubuntu, it is already mounted | 05:28 |
| yoanis | and i can telnet | 05:28 |
| larifariraff | !enter | 05:28 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 05:28 |
| flaccid | yoanis: mail protocol ? | 05:28 |
| yoanis | _strog: you need to add the entry to /etc/fstab | 05:29 |
| flaccid | _strog: enable it in system settings | disks and filesystems | 05:29 |
| holycow | !fstab | 05:29 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 05:29 |
| holycow | like that | 05:29 |
| flaccid | disk and filesystems does that for you | 05:29 |
| flaccid | yoanis: if its imap the tcp connection is usually already up | 05:29 |
| yoanis | flaccid: mail protocol it's pop3 | 05:29 |
| flaccid | yoanis: i guess it could be a bug/submit a bug for it | 05:30 |
| yoanis | flaccid: yes, but still some packets had to got onto the wire ;) | 05:30 |
| flaccid | this is true | 05:30 |

| holycow | dude | 05:31 |
| holycow | that is a dead project | 05:31 |

| holycow | DONT EVER USE AUTOMATIX even if you do find it | 05:31 |
| holycow | EVER | 05:31 |
| larifariraff | !automatix | 05:31 |
| fenix_ | i dont nkow | 05:31 |
| dr_Willis | may it rest in peices.. | 05:31 |
| ubottu | Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 05:31 |

| === claire_ is now known as claire2 | ||
| _strog | and does someone know where i can find the nvidia network driver, i searched nvidia.com but they give me only grafikcard drivers | 05:32 |
| _strog | does someone knows a link? | 05:32 |
| holycow | nvidia network drivers are open source | 05:32 |
| holycow | the problem you will run into however | 05:33 |
| _strog | holycow: got a link? | 05:33 |
| holycow | is that they release new chipsets faster than drivers for the kernel become available or new kernels are available | 05:33 |
| holycow | kernel.org | 05:33 |
| holycow | lol | 05:33 |
| _strog | u sure? | 05:33 |
| holycow | i don't know where the repo is the nvidia network drivers tho ... google should reveal that for you | 05:33 |
| fenix_ | :S, well, i can install a new theme for my kubuntu | 05:34 |
| fenix_ | but i dont know how to do | 05:34 |
| claire2 | hi.. anybody has tried using skim with pinyin? appreciate some advice on it.. | 05:34 |
| larifariraff | kde-look.org fenix_ | 05:34 |
| dr_Willis | themes are made from 'parts' so it depends on the parts you are isntalling. :) | 05:34 |
| fenix_ | mmm yes, but i newbi in kubuntu | 05:35 |
| fenix_ | and i dont understand mucho about this things | 05:35 |
| fenix_ | ahhh, ok dr_willis | 05:35 |
| tekgeeklt | I just download a theme and then open up system settings then go to appearance then to colors and import what you downloaded | 05:35 |
| dr_Willis | fenix_, theres a great many themes in the repositories not isntalled by default | 05:35 |
| fenix_ | ok | 05:36 |
| tekgeeklt | this is the theme I am using right now | 05:37 |
| tekgeeklt | http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Azenis?content=77150&PHPSESSID=87ab591fafeab4e61633afdb7a9ef854 | 05:37 |
| fenix_ | then, the themes is formed for much parts? | 05:37 |
| tekgeeklt | if you go and download a theme most of it is setup for you | 05:38 |
| fenix_ | i guees that is most easy in gnome | 05:38 |
| dr_Willis | technically a 'theme' file just defines what parts to use. | 05:39 |
| dr_Willis | you can mixx and match the parts as you want. | 05:39 |
| fenix_ | ok, i try | 05:40 |
| dr_Willis | check the repos. theres dozens of themes in there allready . | 05:40 |

| _strog | hi | 05:45 |
| dr_Willis | !hi | 05:48 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 05:48 |
| grendal_prime | ok guys this is makeing me absolutly nuts | 05:49 |
| hotpocket | what is grendal_prime? | 05:50 |
| grendal_prime | around the time rebuilt this machine and then installed kubuntu (dell inspiron 1420 with ubuntu preinstall) the alt-tab nolonger works the way it usually does, and the Fn keys have stoped working as well | 05:50 |
| hotpocket | wow | 05:50 |
| hotpocket | reinstall | 05:51 |
| grendal_prime | ? | 05:51 |
| hotpocket | try reinstallintg | 05:51 |
| grendal_prime | I got a tone of shit on here..virtualbox images.. | 05:52 |
| hotpocket | oh | 05:52 |
| hotpocket | uh | 05:52 |
| hotpocket | backup? | 05:52 |
| grendal_prime | its backed up of course..but ..grrrr | 05:52 |
| hotpocket | oh ok | 05:52 |
| hotpocket | hmm | 05:52 |
| hotpocket | try a live cd | 05:52 |
| hotpocket | and see if the problem persists | 05:52 |
| grendal_prime | thing is...i have a feeling that the exact same thing is going to happen | 05:52 |
| hotpocket | try ubuntu | 05:53 |
| hotpocket | its basically the same thing as kubuntu | 05:54 |
| dr_Willis | f keys not working? thats odd. | 05:54 |
| dr_Willis | I would try a different window manager, see if they work in it. | 05:54 |
| grendal_prime | like? | 05:54 |
| grendal_prime | gnome? | 05:54 |
| dr_Willis | pick one. :) you might want to try a small one | 05:55 |
| dr_Willis | jwm, icewm, fluxbox, | 05:55 |
| dr_Willis | gnome is a desktop. :) | 05:55 |
| hotpocket | try fluxbox | 05:55 |
| hotpocket | wait, was jwm and icewm? | 05:55 |
| hotpocket | i dont like fluxbox, makes everything harder for me to access >_< | 05:55 |
| dr_Willis | fire up the packagte manager, search for 'window manager' and pick one then | 05:57 |
| dr_Willis | icewm is fairly straight forward | 05:58 |
| grendal_prime | k done | 05:58 |
| RoughriderUT | grendal: I'm just having a look in the keyboard shortcuts area, through the system settings app, have you tried resetting anything there? | 05:58 |
| grendal_prime | ya | 05:58 |
| dr_Willis | log out, at kdm login, use the session menu to pick a different desktop/session | 05:58 |
| grendal_prime | several things. | 05:58 |
| RoughriderUT | K, just a thought | 05:59 |
| grendal_prime | ya thanks. | 05:59 |
| grendal_prime | ok brb | 05:59 |
| dr_Willis | THis isent one of those keyboards that has the Fkeys bound to MS word shortcuts by default. Unless you hit some soecial shift key on the keyboard is it? | 05:59 |
| grendal_prime | i dont know..what i do know is that they were working | 06:00 |
| grendal_prime | with gnome | 06:00 |
| jupiter_ | hi | 06:00 |
| grendal_prime | brb | 06:00 |
| jupiter_ | say | 06:00 |
| dr_Willis | this is kde3 or kde4 you are using? | 06:00 |
| jupiter_ | kde3 | 06:00 |
| grendal_prime | 3.5.8 | 06:00 |
| jupiter_ | who is using kde4.1? | 06:00 |
| jupiter_ | i can't control my audio volume | 06:00 |
| grendal_prime | ya that didnt do anything | 06:03 |
| grendal_prime | well the icewm still the same issue. The crappy part is that the fn modifyer key is the only way i know of setting the crt output for the video display..and im going to need to do that soon. | 06:04 |
| dr_Willis | do the F keys work in the console? | 06:06 |

| dr_Willis | so 'sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom' dosent work? | 08:54 |
| Saint__0 | It just won't mount man. | 08:55 |
| Saint__0 | I'm thinking, maybe the cd is messed up. | 08:55 |
| dr_Willis | Saint__0, Hmm.. ok..lets be sure... :) when you made the disk under windows.. did you just 'drag/drop' files to the disk? or did you use a program like nero? | 08:56 |
| Saint__0 | The big NERO | 08:56 |
| === yogi_ is now known as yogi__ | ||
| === yogi__ is now known as yogi_ | ||
| dr_Willis | Ok. :) after ya did that mount command . check the output of 'dmesg' for any errors. | 08:56 |
| yogi_ | can some one help me with removing Kkubuntu partition safely? | 08:57 |
| yogi_ | Hello, I asking you. | 08:58 |
| Saint__0 | [18211.304897] ISOFS: Unable to identify CD-ROM format. | 08:59 |
| dr_Willis | yogi_, a little more detail may be needed... you can delete a partition in many ways. whats 'safely' means.. is somthing im vague on | 09:00 |
| dr_Willis | Saint__0, Interesting. you cold try the -t udf filesystem option. Is this a cd or dvd? | 09:00 |
| Saint__0 | dr_Willis: hmm, lemme try that. | 09:00 |
| yogi_ | dr_willis, safely mean without getting error massage like ERROR 22. Now i'm dual booting with winVista ultimate. | 09:01 |
| dr_Willis | yogi_, if you remove linux, and the grub files, you will need to reinstall the windows boot loader to remove grub. | 09:02 |
| yogi_ | Hello, I asking you. | 09:03 |
| larifari1aff | ask someone else ... | 09:03 |
| Saint__0 | How about a hug.. | 09:03 |
| Saint__0 | That's the best type of help | 09:03 |
| Saint__0 | ~.^ | 09:03 |
| Saint__0 | lol. | 09:03 |
| yogi_ | How I reinstall windows boot loader? Do I need fixmbr? I can't use it. | 09:04 |
| * Saint__0 afk, perl'n | 09:04 | |
| === cameron_ is now known as chex1234 | ||
| dr_Willis | boot a actual windows cd and use either 'fdisk /mbr' or 'fixmbr/fixboot' command from its rescue mode. | 09:04 |
| yogi_ | I'm using branded computer. It's impossible to retain anew WinVista dvd. | 09:05 |
| dr_Willis | Not impossible. :) just may be hard to do. or they may want to charge you $$.. | 09:05 |
| larifari1aff | ask in #windows #vista #whatever | 09:06 |
| dr_Willis | I wonder if a XP cd will work for vista. | 09:06 |
| dr_Willis | or if theres some other tools out to do it. I belive ive seen some to restore the mbr. but not sure how well they work with vista. | 09:06 |
| yogi_ | The problem is, I not have any of Winsdows cd or dvd. | 09:06 |
| dr_Willis | Looks like you ask in #windows for a different way to restore the MBR, or track down a cd/dvd/ | 09:07 |
| yogi_ | Can you give me a complete address of that #windows? | 09:08 |
| dr_Willis | the #windows channel here on freenode. | 09:08 |
| dr_Willis | /j #windows | 09:09 |
| dr_Willis | # --> shows its a irc channel. :) | 09:09 |
| yogi_ | by the way, are you using a dual boot computer? | 09:09 |
| dr_Willis | I have some machines that tripple or quadrupple boot. :) | 09:09 |
| dr_Willis | and some with just linux | 09:09 |
| yogi_ | that amazing. what OS do you use? | 09:10 |
| dr_Willis | Ubuntu, PuppyLinux, Geexbox, windows. | 09:11 |
| yogi_ | are all of them except windows is free? | 09:11 |
| dr_Willis | They are linux variants - so yes they are free | 09:14 |
| Saint__0 | Ubuntu is the best lol. | 09:14 |
| dr_Willis | the boot cd at http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ - seems to have a tool to restore the windows mbr. | 09:15 |
| dr_Willis | http://www.ubcd4win.com/ seems more windows focused similer tool/idea | 09:16 |
| yogi_ | what should i choose? | 09:17 |
| Saint__0 | != windows | 09:18 |
| ubottu | For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents | 09:18 |
| larifari1aff | a live? | 09:18 |
| Saint__0 | opps lol. | 09:18 |
| Saint__0 | oops^ | 09:18 |
| Saint__0 | Why would anyone choose windows.. when you can get Ubuntu and the 10000+ -free- programs that are provided at your leisure. | 09:20 |
| yogi_ | should i use MBRWiz or MBRFix from http://www.ubcd4win.com/contents.htm | 09:20 |
| larifari1aff | we can cook for you but you have to eat yourself yogi_ | 09:20 |
| dr_Willis | You should read the docs to both. and see which one works for your OS. Ive never used either. | 09:20 |
| stealthcore | hello | 09:22 |
| yogi_ | neither of them is useful for me. do you have another? | 09:24 |
| jazman | hey wine dont work on kubuntu but i had it working on mandriva and ubuntu | 09:25 |
| jazman | and i seem not able to get alien or discover working | 09:25 |
| yogi_ | so jazman, use it wisely, okay? | 09:26 |
| dr_Willis | I use the latest winehq qwine on my ubuntu box's | 09:26 |
| Saint__0 | What wine are you using? | 09:27 |
| jazman | well im not to worried about alien i can d/l of debian repos or hardy repos | 09:27 |
| Saint__0 | i can't ever get that crap to work. | 09:27 |
| jazman | one with the rpose | 09:28 |
| jazman | or discover | 09:28 |
| Saint__0 | I have Crossover/ Transgaming Cedega/ and regular wine. | 09:28 |
| jazman | but wine it will start to load then stop not even boot up | 09:28 |
| yogi_ | dr_Willis, what about another way that can I use? neither of the software is useful for me. | 09:29 |
| jazman | i d/l cross over cant get it to work wil try deb site | 09:29 |
| jazman | i didnt like mandriva | 09:29 |
| Saint__0 | Mandriva was too plain. | 09:30 |
| jazman | maybecause i had power pack and coulnt add to it | 09:30 |
| dr_Willis | yogi_, i listed 2 cd's that had tools. The ultimatebootcd had MBRWork which states ti can restore a normal mbr. | 09:30 |
| jazman | and ubuntu i dont like gnome | 09:30 |
| Saint__0 | Don't diss the FOOT | 09:30 |
| Saint__0 | lol. | 09:30 |
| yogi_ | what jazman? mandriva is so unique, you know? | 09:30 |
| dr_Willis | yogi_, mbrfix seems to be doing exactly what you asked to do. | 09:31 |
| jazman | well i gatherd that | 09:31 |
| yogi_ | but, the websit language is confiusing. | 09:31 |
| jazman | but also with mandriva i dint know any command at lets with this i know sudo apt | 09:32 |
| jazman | this is still a learning curve for me but at the mo still have to dual boot | 09:32 |
| jazman | wish linux liked my cannon printer | 09:33 |
| dr_Willis | yogi_, MBRwizard is rather clear also. as to what it can do 'Create a new MBR' | 09:33 |
| === christian_ is now known as christian_1990 | ||

| yogi_ | jazman, hp is more linux friendly. it's doesn't need any drivers. | 09:37 |
| jazman | cool | 09:37 |
| dr_Willis | It pays to do your research | 09:37 |
| larifari1aff | christian_1990: what ??? | 09:37 |

| pag | strarray, are you sure you have it installed? | 10:36 |
| strarray | pag: no i'm not sure, because i installed kubuntu with kde4, and then didn't like it and installed kde (3) and logged to kde instead of kde4. but in my menus, all applications appear repeated, one says kde4 on the side, and the other not. | 10:37 |
| pag | strarray, try installing kde-systemsettings package | 10:37 |

| TuniX12 | you have to install windows codecs | 12:02 |
| linux_master | the problem is, where i can find that | 12:03 |

| applegate | ActionParsip: select configure dekstop | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | applegate: there is no resolution selection there | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | hmm, stupid thing is using the nv driver | 12:18 |

| lat | Is it possible to set a file manager to be root all the time? | 12:51 |
| dr_Willis | lat, just run it as root.. of course you can easially trash your system that way | 12:52 |
| dr_Willis | you could set up where you only have root if you wanted.. (not a good idea either) | 12:52 |
| lat | dr_Willis, most of the time I can't copy files I need to copy. It is extremely frustrating. Is there a way to use sudo with a file manager without having to go to the console? | 12:54 |
| dr_Willis | I tend to use 'mc' as my root user file manager. | 12:55 |
| dr_Willis | that way i KNOW its root doing stuff. | 12:55 |
| dr_Willis | if you have several konqueror windows open. It can be hard to re,bner which one is root and which one is not. | 12:55 |
| dr_Willis | You could set up some icons/launchers/menus to run 'kdesudo WhatevrFileManagerYouwant' easially enouhg | 12:56 |
| Jucato | (you could actually set a different widget style and color scheme for root (or any other user) apps, so you will know) | 12:57 |
| dr_Willis | Jucato, yea. I suggested that the other day :) make roots default theme Bright Red | 12:57 |
| llutz | suse-style :) | 12:57 |
| dr_Willis | of course ya often get people asking how to make root's theme the same as the users. | 12:57 |
| Jucato | make it super ugly so that you can't stand doing/using root stuff for long :) | 12:57 |
| dr_Willis | You cant change the window -decoration. but you can change the colors and widgets. :) | 12:58 |
| lat | dr_Willis and Jucato, ok many thanks. I'll try some of those ideas. | 12:58 |
| dr_Willis | I got an icon that runs 'xterm -e sudo mc' :) | 12:59 |
| marius | Hi I'm using upstart to monitor a service. It would really be cool if I could somehow tell upstart to endlessly loop {try respawn 2 times; wait for 30 seconds;} Does anyone know if this is possible? Currently upstart stops retrying after a few failed respawns. I need it to stop trying for a litle while and try again later | 13:00 |
| Saint___0 | Hmmm. | 13:04 |
| Saint___0 | For these tasks, you need to learn the perl | 13:04 |
| applegate | hello, what are ya tlking about? | 13:06 |
| Saint___0 | Hello. | 13:07 |
| Saint___0 | marius' problem. | 13:07 |
| applegate | oh that's uniquely | 13:08 |
| marius | Saint___0: in that case I do not quite get what perl has to do with it? | 13:08 |
| Saint___0 | marius: Automating tasks is easy with perl. | 13:08 |
| marius | Saint___0: Why write an extra deamon in perl to monitor my own deamon and who is going to monitor the perl deamon ;) Upstart has been created specifically for this task. Upstart in this case does what the inittab used to do :) | 13:10 |
| Saint___0 | for (1..1000000) { print "Running the task\n"; system("TERMINAL TASK HERE"); sleep 300; }; | 13:11 |
| Saint___0 | Simple one liner man. | 13:11 |
| dr_Willis | a deamondeamon? | 13:12 |
| Saint___0 | I have no idea what the guy is talking about lol. I just saw his need to automate a task. | 13:13 |
| Saint___0 | And since.. I believe perl is the answer to all creation.. | 13:13 |
| Saint___0 | I came up with a simple perl solution. | 13:14 |
| dr_Willis | rewrite the kernel in perl! :) | 13:14 |
| Saint___0 | I...want... to make a perl OS. | 13:15 |
| marius | hehe, Saint perl is not the answer here, sorry :) | 13:15 |
| dr_Willis | I recall some perl window manager | 13:15 |
| Saint___0 | I got the perl shell. | 13:15 |
| Saint___0 | psh | 13:15 |
| Saint___0 | Neat little thing. | 13:15 |

| Saint___0 | Maybe Synaptic. | 14:12 |
| christoz | !repositories | 14:13 |
| ubottu | The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 14:13 |
| Saint___0 | !wine | 14:13 |

| jussi01 | iptables | 14:19 |
| jussi01 | !firewall | 14:19 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 14:19 |

| nosrednaekim | crs: next release most likely | 14:21 |
| nosrednaekim | !release | 14:21 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 14:21 |

| Saint___0 | If they have'nt changed it on me. | 14:22 |
| pim | so if new software comes out you have to wait till a new ubuntu version comes out? | 14:22 |
| llutz | pim yes | 14:22 |
| pim | that sucks | 14:22 |
| Saint___0 | Or you could go with windows and wait 2 or 3 years for full support for new software. | 14:23 |
| nosrednaekim | pim: unless there was a serious security flaw in the previous version | 14:23 |
| llutz | pim: use a different distro with rolling release then | 14:23 |
| pim | llutz which one would you reccomend? | 14:23 |
| Saint___0 | A major release every 6 months is amazing. | 14:23 |
| llutz | pim: none | 14:23 |

| R2LM | NickNak: My panel size is set to "normal", so there should be room for two rows of icons. Is it a problem with one particular icon maybe? If one of the system tray icons doesn't have a small size do they all then default to larger size and one row? | 15:42 |

| BluesKaj | timucin, wep is more secure than wpa | 22:44 |
| nuxil | BluesKaj, nop, | 22:44 |
| nuxil | wep sucks | 22:45 |
| jdnewmil | timucin: WEP isn't very good at handling keys... make sure you specify the hexadecimal form of the WEP password | 22:45 |
| timucin | I do not have the hex form of WEP password. All I have is a password which is "1234567890". | 22:46 |
| nuxil | timucin, try something like this in a console. iwconfig eth2 essid NAMEOFNETWORK key FF:FF:FF:FF:FF | 22:46 |
| BluesKaj | oops sorry , the reverse is what I meant ...just finished setting up a wpa2 AAMOF | 22:47 |
| timucin | so, how can I find the hex form of my password? | 22:47 |
| nuxil | timucin, try something like this in a console. iwconfig eth2 essid NAMEOFNETWORK key s:1234567890 | 22:47 |
| nuxil | eth2 might be wlan0 in your case | 22:48 |
| jussi01 | timucin: before you do all that make sure you select the correct type of password in the netwoprk managere dialogue | 22:48 |
| timucin | ok. I'll try but I can not try now because I'm not at the office... | 22:48 |
| timucin | Yes, I've selected correct password and correct type (which is WEP) and no connection. knetworkmanager is to stubborn. And I can connect from another computer which is a macbook and WEB works fine on it. | 22:49 |
| Walzmyn | wonderful, the world tries to get along with itself, saving one IT issue at a time and some dumbass jerk has to put on a black hat | 22:49 |
| nuxil | thouse damn script kiddies ! | 22:49 |
| JoshOvki | tell you whats more secure than WPA | 22:50 |
| Walzmyn | a wire? | 22:50 |
| JoshOvki | fiber optic | 22:50 |
| * Walzmyn snaps his finger, he was so close | 22:51 | |
| nuxil | JoshOvki, no nic at all ;P | 22:51 |
| jdnewmil | timucin: you can usually obtain the hex form of the password from the wireless admin interface... translation from password to hex doesn't always seem to be implemented the same way on all platforms | 22:51 |
| JoshOvki | Walzmyn: pretty close, but if you are really carefull you can acctualy attatched wires to the copper cable and simply steal the data in the same way | 22:51 |
| JoshOvki | nuxil: yes, thats the optimal solution | 22:52 |
| Walzmyn | JoshOvki, except that would mean you'd have to come into my house, and I am a firm believer in the 2ond amendment :) | 22:52 |
| * jussi01 coughs | 22:53 | |
| JoshOvki | Walzmyn: i was thinking more of a business thing. if i had access to your house i would have access to your computer ;) wouldnt need to wiretap then | 22:53 |
| JoshOvki | hey jussi01 | 22:53 |
| timucin | jdnewmil: I can not access the wireless admin interface because I do not have any permission on that device. | 22:53 |
| Walzmyn | JoshOvki, good call, but i make a point of staying away from computers in a business sense | 22:54 |

| Fendaril | how do you get you netgear to work on ubuntu | 22:54 |
| Fendaril | i dont know how | 22:54 |
| Fendaril | it wont pickup the hardware | 22:55 |
| JoshOvki | like i said tho, fiber optic, you cant tap that without anyone noticing | 22:55 |
| Walzmyn | JoshOvki, a while back the idiots what run our edu. system decided to connect the 3 county schools with fiber - when a line was cut right in front of our house it cost $150K just to get the guy out there to fix it, then he got paid by the hour | 22:56 |

| bobleny | Does anyone know how to duel boot ubuntu and vista, with ubuntu at the first partition? | 22:59 |
| BluesKaj | bobleny, vista is best as the first partition | 23:00 |
| bobleny | Why is that? | 23:00 |
| JoshOvki | doesnt matter whats on what partition, just you will have to reinstall *ubuntu OR grub at the end | 23:00 |
| === alucardeptx is now known as alucardromero | ||
| Walzmyn | bobleny, the main thing is Winders has to think it's the only OS- so usually best to install it first | 23:01 |

| BluesKaj | Walzmyn, why / | 23:10 |
| BluesKaj | ? | 23:10 |
| Walzmyn | BluesKaj, well, cause my camera is old and the "up" button won't work, so i can't format it from there | 23:11 |
| Walzmyn | BluesKaj, and if you don't format it everyonce and a while (as opposed ot deleteing) the camera has issues | 23:11 |
| BluesKaj | no s sd card slot on your pc ? | 23:11 |
| Walzmyn | I just fired up qtparted, but it does not list the SD card | 23:11 |
| Walzmyn | BluesKaj, yes, got it pluged in now | 23:12 |
| BluesKaj | not showing up in storage media? | 23:12 |
| Walzmyn | BluesKaj, it shows up in storage media via dolphin, but not in qtparted | 23:12 |
| BluesKaj | never used qparted, dunno if it would on GParted Live cd | 23:14 |
| nuxil | you dont need to use gparted | 23:14 |
| BluesKaj | ok nuxil , tell us how | 23:15 |
| nuxil | would you mind google. "linux format sd card" | 23:16 |
| BluesKaj | if we told everyone to use google , then this room would serve no purpose | 23:17 |

| bobleny | Yeah. | 23:18 |
| nuxil | BluesKaj, i thought it was like.. First you google.. if you cant find anything then you come and aske here.. not otherway around | 23:18 |
| BluesKaj | bobleny, support in #kubuntu-kde4 | 23:19 |
| Walzmyn | so far google has been lots of missinformation | 23:19 |

| PeEll | I will try and make this quick, but I am having trouble with my mouse in OpenGL games. Whenever I move the mouse any amount, the whole screen shakes, as if I had spun ~720 degrees or something. I think this is related to Xinerama+OpenGL+Kubuntu. I have googled this problem extensively and haven't found anything. | 23:21 |
| PeEll | Any thoughts of next steps to try and figure out the problem? | 23:22 |
| Walzmyn | PeEll, might be a driver issue | 23:25 |
| PeEll | Mouse drive or display driver? | 23:25 |
| KingOfDos|lap | installing kubuntu on my new computer :) | 23:26 |
| KingOfDos|lap | bye bye microsoft, now my workstation is linux :) | 23:26 |
| Walzmyn | PeEll, I was thinking display | 23:27 |
| nuxil | KingOfDos|lap, good for you ;) | 23:27 |
| KingOfDos|lap | after 14 linux servers, 2 laptops and my workstation at the office. now my home workstation is going to kubuntu :) | 23:27 |
| Walzmyn | PeEll, i've had similar issues with winders that were driver related | 23:27 |
| PeEll | Hrm, I suppose that could be it. I only experience it when using 2 monitors, but that could still be the display driver. | 23:28 |
| Walzmyn | PeEll, was just a guess | 23:28 |
| PeEll | In the past I have always just used the nvidia-ubuntu packaged driver, would it be worth it to try the direct-from-nvidia driver? | 23:28 |
| bobleny | Does anyone know how to view the currentlly installed version of KDE? | 23:28 |
| PeEll | I hate having files/applications/drivers outside of my package system. | 23:28 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | bobleny: open any kde app and go to help: about KDE | 23:29 |
| nuxil | bobleny, kwin -v | 23:29 |
| nuxil | it should show you QT kde and kwin version | 23:29 |
| bobleny | Ok, thanks. | 23:29 |
| Walzmyn | PeEll, the ubuntu driver should be the same thing you'd get form nvidia | 23:30 |
| bobleny | Thanks! | 23:30 |
| bobleny | Do you also know how to update the KDE? | 23:30 |
| nuxil | np | 23:30 |
| nuxil | you man you want kde4 ? | 23:31 |
| Walzmyn | bobleny, you'll get updates automaticly thought adept | 23:31 |
| Walzmyn | bobleny, if you mean install kde4 you'll hvae to select the kde4 meta package in adept | 23:31 |
| bobleny | I want to update from KDE 4.0.3 to KDE 4.0.5 | 23:32 |
| PeEll | Walzmyn: The nvidia driver version is 173.14.05, and the ubuntu version is 169.12. Do I need to change my sources to something else? | 23:33 |
| jals | is there a way to change the font size of the left menu in dolphin | 23:34 |
| Walzmyn | PeEll, I'm not an expert on this, I was just saying that I had a similar issue one time in windows | 23:34 |
| PeEll | Oh, okay, thanks, :) | 23:34 |
| Walzmyn | PeEll, as far as i know, if you want the driver from invidia you'll have to download it and use their installer | 23:34 |
| Walzmyn | PeEll, peronally, i've had both of them installed and the ubutnu supplied one works just fine | 23:35 |
| PeEll | Okay, how about this: in general, should composite x server extension work with xinerama? | 23:36 |
| Walzmyn | bobleny, the package maintainers will update the kde4 packages on the repos, then you can update from there. | 23:36 |
| PeEll | I understand that you may not know Walzmyn, you have already been very helpful. | 23:36 |
| Walzmyn | PeEll, glad i could help some | 23:37 |
| bobleny | Walzmyn: So all I have to do is update, and it will install the latest version? | 23:37 |
| Walzmyn | bobleny, it will install the latest version in the repo | 23:38 |
| bobleny | Walzmyn: Oh, how do I determin what the latest packeges are in the repositories? | 23:39 |
| Walzmyn | bobleny, the repos will lag behind the official kde releases, becaues the maintainers make sure the packages work with the rest of ubuntu | 23:39 |
| Walzmyn | bobleny, look at them. | 23:39 |
