[02:58] if anyone else ever has this problem, log in using a failsafe session, and run desktop-effects-kde4 [02:58] then you can turn it off. [02:58] never did find what file to edit though [02:58] 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 / ?

[03:50] p.s. also tried reinstalling evolution mail [03:51] hmmm no idea. check top when its going slow to see if a process is using a lot of cpu [03:51] hang on i'll do it now [03:52] might take a while cos the wireless is enabled! lol [03:53] Hello, could somebody help me to install a vid driver I just downloaded? [03:53] just ask attila [03:54] more likely to get a response [03:54] ** still waiting for evolution to load :( ** [03:55] F-u-z-z-Y: what is happening in top in konsole while it does? [03:55] please explain, im quiet new to linux [03:55] The tar.gz folder has instructions but cant seem to make it work [03:56] F-u-z-z-Y: goto konsole, run the command top and see if it reports cpu useage overflow [03:56] !doestnwork | attila [03:56] Factoid doestnwork not found [03:56] attila: explain why it doesn't work..

[04:04] heringbone scrambe [04:04] 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] VIA Chrome9 [04:04] ok thank you [04:05] clergyman: there is none, but you can use kcontrol/kde3. help for kde4 is in #kubuntu-kde4 [04:05] attila: best to tell us the command you are running and the error otherwise we can't hep [04:05] help [04:06] ok, I'll try it again and let you know what it says [04:06] ta flaccid [04:06] np [04:07] Just so I understood you correctly, I can change KDE4 settings with kcontrol from KDE3? [04:07] Konsole is where I should do this kind of stuff, right? [04:07] clergyman: yes, but this question is meant to be asked in the other channel.. [04:07] attila: yeah [04:08] attila: are you reading the doco that came with it as well? [04:08] yep [04:11] I type "sudo ./vinstall", it ask for password, I type it in, it says "command not found" [04:11] attila: you would have to be in the directory where that file is which is usually where you extracted the archive.. [04:13] the folder is downloaded to the desktop and opened with Kate. Do I have to run it in Kate? [04:14] no. [04:14] attila: you have to cd to the right directory where the file vinstall is first in konsole [04:15] 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] best to learn the cli first before doing this stuff which is why you are having trouble [04:15] dr_Willis: i think the user needs to get to the directory first [04:15] or give the proper path. :) but it would be BEST if he would spend an hr reading some shell basics sites. [04:15] yep agreed [04:16] brb [04:18] I did not open the the installer onle the readme file [04:19] only [04:19] do you know how to find the desktop directory [04:20] 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. [04:21] through system menu? [04:21] 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] through konsole [04:22] no, i don't [04:22] attila: go and learn the shell. the commmand is cd ~/Desktop [04:22] !bash | attila [04:22] attila: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[05:32] nvidia network drivers are open source [05:33] the problem you will run into however [05:33] <_strog> holycow: got a link?

[05:33] i don't know where the repo is the nvidia network drivers tho ... google should reveal that for you [05:34] :S, well, i can install a new theme for my kubuntu [05:34] but i dont know how to do [05:34] hi.. anybody has tried using skim with pinyin? appreciate some advice on it.. [05:34] kde-look.org fenix_ [05:34] themes are made from 'parts' so it depends on the parts you are isntalling. :) [05:35] mmm yes, but i newbi in kubuntu [05:35] and i dont understand mucho about this things [05:35] ahhh, ok dr_willis [05:35] 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] fenix_, theres a great many themes in the repositories not isntalled by default [05:36] ok [05:37] this is the theme I am using right now [05:37] http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Azenis?content=77150&PHPSESSID=87ab591fafeab4e61633afdb7a9ef854 [05:37] then, the themes is formed for much parts?

I belive ive seen some to restore the mbr. but not sure how well they work with vista. [09:06] The problem is, I not have any of Winsdows cd or dvd. [09:07] Looks like you ask in #windows for a different way to restore the MBR, or track down a cd/dvd/ [09:08] Can you give me a complete address of that #windows? [09:08] the #windows channel here on freenode. [09:09] /j #windows [09:09] # --> shows its a irc channel. :) [09:09] by the way, are you using a dual boot computer?

[09:20] should i use MBRWiz or MBRFix from http://www.ubcd4win.com/contents.htm [09:20] we can cook for you but you have to eat yourself yogi_ [09:20] You should read the docs to both. and see which one works for your OS.

[10:16] I wanna use the power without wine. [10:17] winamp=failure [10:17] lol [10:17] ahh, thats a problem it must run on linux [10:17] just install foobar and play the same mp3 with it to compare then u will realize winamp sounds like shit:p [10:17] Use wine then. I've gotten winamp to run on wine. [10:17] Im not sure if the orb feature thing will work with wine. [10:17] I would'nt know. [10:18] Never used it. [10:18] trying to avoid wine where possiable [10:18] https://winamp.orb.com/orb/html/login.html [10:18] Its a really neat setup. I used it to watch videos from the basement pc. on the wii in the living room [10:19] dosent seem to support the PSP however.. then again . i dont know of anything that does [10:20] i think the psp with suppport h.254 video, does vlc accept command line instructions?

[12:26] TuniX12: adept updater upgraded it automatically, and I am using hardy [12:27] applegate:I installed flashplugin-nonfree and nspluginwrapper from repos, and it should work (it worked with ff2, wwhich was also the 64-bit build) [12:27] !flash64 [12:27] You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [12:28] ubottu right [12:28] Factoid right not found [12:30] another question please [12:30] FF3 comes out in a couple of days.

[12:31] firefox3 [12:31] i have 2 flash plugin [12:32] You have to get the one off the site and install it via terminal, you do that? [12:32] bhc: type about:plugins in firefix [12:32] applegate: I did all of what's said in the howtos on ubuntuforums etc but the flash plugin still refuses to show up in about:plugins === moderator is now known as applegate [12:33] Shockwave Flash 8.0 r99. Gnash 0.8.2, the GNU Flash Player. [12:33] bhc, wat's your problem? [12:33] Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124 [12:33] Which one do you have selected at your player?

[12:41] just wanna know [12:41] i use flashblock and ABP too [12:42] is it cause the error ? [12:42] what that's funtion? [12:45] block the flash, then iff you click it, the flash will play [12:45] a 'must have' :) extension [12:45] http://ecek2.blogspot.com/2008/02/video-noshell.html <== i can't use flash plugin too [12:45] too many stupid - 'spank the monkey and win $$$' ads... [12:45] but it can play when i use gnash [12:46] i think there's something wrong with my flash plugin [12:46] :( [12:46] what's wrong bhc? [12:46] don't know [12:46] its working here bhc. [12:46] Im using flash 10 beta. :) heh heh [12:46] got you [12:47] ahahahah.. it just crashed firefox. :) [12:47] the video dident actually play. I had to slide the slider to see the movie. [12:47] Hi all, how can I alter the splash screen resolution [12:50] What's a good movie that just came out? [12:51] Is it possible to set a file manager to be root all the time? [12:52] lat, just run it as root.. of course you can easially trash your system that way [12:52] you could set up where you only have root if you wanted.. (not a good idea either) [12:54] 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? [12:55] I tend to use 'mc' as my root user file manager. [12:55] that way i KNOW its root doing stuff. [12:55] if you have several konqueror windows open. It can be hard to re,bner which one is root and which one is not. [12:56] You could set up some icons/launchers/menus to run 'kdesudo WhatevrFileManagerYouwant' easially enouhg [12:57] (you could actually set a different widget style and color scheme for root (or any other user) apps, so you will know) [12:57] Jucato, yea. I suggested that the other day :) make roots default theme Bright Red [12:57] suse-style :) [12:57] of course ya often get people asking how to make root's theme the same as the users. [12:57] make it super ugly so that you can't stand doing/using root stuff for long :) [12:58] You cant change the window -decoration. but you can change the colors and widgets. :) [12:58] dr_Willis and Jucato, ok many thanks. I'll try some of those ideas. [12:59] I got an icon that runs 'xterm -e sudo mc' :) [13:00] 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 [13:04] Hmmm. [13:04] For these tasks, you need to learn the perl [13:06] hello, what are ya tlking about? [13:07] Hello. [13:07] marius' problem. [13:08] oh that's uniquely [13:08] Saint___0: in that case I do not quite get what perl has to do with it? [13:08] marius: Automating tasks is easy with perl. [13:10] 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 :) [13:11] for (1..1000000) { print "Running the task\n"; system("TERMINAL TASK HERE"); sleep 300; }; [13:11] Simple one liner man. [13:12] a deamondeamon? [13:13] I have no idea what the guy is talking about lol. I just saw his need to automate a task. [13:13] And since.. I believe perl is the answer to all creation.. [13:14] I came up with a simple perl solution. [13:14] rewrite the kernel in perl! :) [13:15] I...want... to make a perl OS. [13:15] hehe, Saint perl is not the answer here, sorry :) [13:15] I recall some perl window manager [13:15] I got the perl shell. [13:15] psh [13:15] Neat little thing.

[14:19] Saint___0: sounds like you need to open a port or 2 [14:19] jussi [14:19] jussi01: whats the default firewall in linux [14:19] in kubuntu at least [14:19] iptables [14:19] !firewall [14:19] 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). [14:20] * eagles0513875 slaps self i knew that [14:20] I use firestarter. [14:21] How kubuntu works? If, lets say for instance, new digikam will be released... when i goes into repos? After couple days (when deb will be ready) or with next kubuntu release? [14:21] Can anyone help me with fixing kmilo for a Logitech keyboard on Hardy? The media keys don't work. I had the same problem with Gutsy, and using 1 or 2 Feisty files worked... But I can't remember which ones... [14:21] crs: next release most likely [14:21] !release [14:21] 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 [14:22] The intrepid Ibex I think it's called. [14:22] If they have'nt changed it on me. [14:22] so if new software comes out you have to wait till a new ubuntu version comes out? [14:22] pim yes [14:22] that sucks [14:23] Or you could go with windows and wait 2 or 3 years for full support for new software. [14:23] pim: unless there was a serious security flaw in the previous version [14:23] pim: use a different distro with rolling release then [14:23] llutz which one would you reccomend? [14:23] A major release every 6 months is amazing. [14:23] pim: none [14:23] Those people must be on their toes. [14:23] Or fingertips. [14:24] jussi01: do you have any idea if its possible for me to use amarok in conjunction with jack [14:24] pim: but if you want to try, use arch or sidux [14:25] eagles0513875: no idea [14:25] !logitech [14:25] Factoid logitech not found [14:25] !kmilo [14:25] Factoid kmilo not found [14:26] jussi01: reason i ask is that i would like to starting using jack in conjunction with amarok to start djing [14:26] eagles0513875: pop into #ubuntustudio === emmanuel is now known as metal_boy [14:32] How can I create new icons on my KED4 desktop?

So, how are new icons placed on the desktop?

You might try one of those to see if they have a driver. Otherwise, I am out of solutions. I have an ati 1950 card with 2 monitors. ATI had the driver for that. [14:52] !ati [14:52] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [14:58] hi, i just installed a gnome app, but changed my mind and removed it, how to i remove anything gnome related that got installed?

Solution? [15:00] says hi [15:02] jals- apt-get autoremove should do it.

[15:40] R2LM: you can do that by changing the panel size, don't think you can change the icon size [15:41] Can someone help me with themes? [15:41] if they are not to busy? [15:41] I have Emerald installed, and i can see a list of themes, but there is no option to apply theme? [15:41] do i need something else? [15:42] Reason i ask is because i would really like a Mac OSX theme, ive heard of one called Bahgri? or something similar [15:42] 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?

[22:59] thank you jussi01, considering that no one was talking and JoshOvki and I had branched off from an on topic discussion [22:59] Does anyone know how to duel boot ubuntu and vista, with ubuntu at the first partition? [23:00] bobleny, vista is best as the first partition [23:00] Why is that? [23:00] doesnt matter whats on what partition, just you will have to reinstall *ubuntu OR grub at the end === alucardeptx is now known as alucardromero [23:01] bobleny, the main thing is Winders has to think it's the only OS- so usually best to install it first [23:02] Umm, you can just edit grub to comform to the OS's you have installed. [23:03] You have either OS load automatically. [23:09] how do i go about formating an SD card? [23:10] Walzmyn, why / [23:10] ? [23:11] BluesKaj, well, cause my camera is old and the "up" button won't work, so i can't format it from there [23:11] BluesKaj, and if you don't format it everyonce and a while (as opposed ot deleteing) the camera has issues [23:11] no s sd card slot on your pc ? [23:11] I just fired up qtparted, but it does not list the SD card [23:12] BluesKaj, yes, got it pluged in now [23:12] not showing up in storage media? [23:12] BluesKaj, it shows up in storage media via dolphin, but not in qtparted [23:14] never used qparted, dunno if it would on GParted Live cd [23:14] you dont need to use gparted [23:15] ok nuxil , tell us how [23:16] would you mind google. "linux format sd card" [23:17] if we told everyone to use google , then this room would serve no purpose [23:17] I am running Kubuntu 8.04 with the new KDE. Why is it that I can't edit any setting!? [23:18] bobleny, kde4 ? [23:18] Yeah. [23:18] BluesKaj, i thought it was like.. First you google.. if you cant find anything then you come and aske here.. not otherway around [23:19] bobleny, support in #kubuntu-kde4 [23:19] so far google has been lots of missinformation [23:19] OK... [23:19] bobleny, kde 4 is still new and lots of featueres have not been implimented === narg_ is now known as narg [23:20] Walzmyn: Oh, is that what the deal is....? [23:20] not necessarily cuz googling sometime confuses ppl, due to the fact that google and google-linux don't have all the answers [23:21] 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. [23:22] Any thoughts of next steps to try and figure out the problem? [23:25] PeEll, might be a driver issue [23:25] Mouse drive or display driver? [23:26] installing kubuntu on my new computer :) [23:26] bye bye microsoft, now my workstation is linux :) [23:27] PeEll, I was thinking display [23:27] KingOfDos|lap, good for you ;) [23:27] after 14 linux servers, 2 laptops and my workstation at the office. now my home workstation is going to kubuntu :) [23:27] PeEll, i've had similar issues with winders that were driver related [23:28] 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] PeEll, was just a guess [23:28] 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] Does anyone know how to view the currentlly installed version of KDE? [23:28] I hate having files/applications/drivers outside of my package system. [23:29] bobleny: open any kde app and go to help: about KDE [23:29] bobleny, kwin -v [23:29] it should show you QT kde and kwin version [23:29] Ok, thanks. [23:30] PeEll, the ubuntu driver should be the same thing you'd get form nvidia [23:30] Thanks! [23:30] Do you also know how to update the KDE? [23:30] np [23:31] you man you want kde4 ? [23:31] bobleny, you'll get updates automaticly thought adept [23:31] bobleny, if you mean install kde4 you'll hvae to select the kde4 meta package in adept [23:32] I want to update from KDE 4.0.3 to KDE 4.0.5 [23:33] 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? [23:34] is there a way to change the font size of the left menu in dolphin [23:34] PeEll, I'm not an expert on this, I was just saying that I had a similar issue one time in windows [23:34] Oh, okay, thanks, :) [23:34] PeEll, as far as i know, if you want the driver from invidia you'll have to download it and use their installer [23:35] PeEll, peronally, i've had both of them installed and the ubutnu supplied one works just fine [23:36] Okay, how about this: in general, should composite x server extension work with xinerama? [23:36] bobleny, the package maintainers will update the kde4 packages on the repos, then you can update from there. [23:36] I understand that you may not know Walzmyn, you have already been very helpful. [23:37] PeEll, glad i could help some [23:37] Walzmyn: So all I have to do is update, and it will install the latest version? [23:38] bobleny, it will install the latest version in the repo [23:39] Walzmyn: Oh, how do I determin what the latest packeges are in the repositories? [23:39] 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] bobleny, look at them. === jr_ is now known as Riddelll === cRASHmASTER is now known as _CrashMaster_ [23:54] <_CrashMaster_> Does Kubuntu Hardy have the ability to access shared drives on a Vista box?
