[00:41] a61_: They still make pc2100 ddr up to a gig. So if your motherboard supports it, likely [00:42] okay thank you [00:42] np [00:48] is there anyway to get both Kubuntu and Kmail to stop asking for a password the very first time they connect? With Kopete there is no clear cut way or intuitive way to do this :( [01:08] hi is possible to lock upgrade some packages, linux-image for example from adept or command line? [01:08] !pinning [01:08] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others.

They do have a channel here, perhaps some answer is there in #eeepc [01:14] ok [01:14] genii: thanks and good night :) bye [01:15] filo1234: Good luck and good night [01:15] :) === invitado is now known as kuadrosx [01:30] anyone mind helping me with sound issues [01:30] sound isnt working, there is no other way to describe it [01:30] nothing is coming out [01:32] lspci shows that my card is detected, but no sound is coming out, and yes, my speakers are on, plugged in and sound system is turned on [01:32] anyone?

[01:34] its an sb live [01:34] i know that already [01:35] but that command gives no output [01:36] I've just installed Firefox 3 and whenever I fill a checkbox it doesn't show as checked until I change focus to a different part of the page. Is anyone else having this problem?

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [01:38] genii: any ideas [01:39] okay ubottu [01:39] i relax [01:39] coreymon77: Apologies on lag, roommate looking for some papers here he needs [01:39] coreymon77: Reading [01:40] ubottu: the channel is often dead here [01:41] diceman: and ubottu is a bot [01:41] coreymon77: Does lsmod | grep emu10k produce a result?

[01:42] i'm not under gnome but under kde [01:42] genii: http://coreymon77.pastebin.ca/1049704 [01:42] coreymon77: Reading [01:42] the new version [01:43] !splash [01:43] To change your KDE splash screen go to KMenu -> System Settings -> Splash Screen [01:43] diceman: ^ [01:44] genii: and yes, i use pastebin so much that i got my own :P [01:44] coreymon77: And you are using OSS as the sound engine and not ALSA? [01:44] KMenu ? [01:44] i don't have it [01:44] i have no clue what im using [01:44] this is a fresh install [01:44] * genii hands stdin some more aspirins [01:45] i was forced to reinstall because xorg and kde borked [01:45] diceman: you're on KDE? [01:45] yes [01:45] diceman: see the button with the 'K' on the panel [01:45] yes [01:45] KMenu [01:45] genii: so, i have absolutely no clue what the settings are right now [01:46] no there is not Kmenu [01:47] coreymon77: Kbutton...System Settings... Sound System... Hardware tab... "Select the Audio Device" can be autodetect, ALSA, OSS and others. The drivers loaded are for OSS, so see perhaps what it's using in there [01:47] diceman: it IS the KMenu [01:47] the menu with the K [01:47] oh yes [01:47] excuse me [01:47] ;) [01:48] i know now what you called the kmenu [01:48] i think that was a part [01:48] genii: its on autodetect [01:48] should i change that [01:48] ? [01:49] coreymon77: Not usually. [01:49] there is no splash screen [01:49] i'm sure [01:49] genii: so, its still not working :P [01:51] genii: i wonder why the oss drivers are installed, wouldnt it normally be alsa? [01:51] diceman: sudo apt-get install ksplash [01:52] coreymon77: Normally thats what happens for me. There are also some alsa-oss bridge modules loaded sometimes too though that can be confusing. [01:52] genii: so, what do i do? [01:53] diceman: on kde3 or kde4? [01:53] coreymon77: What does lspci -nn | grep audio say is the vendor:device code? [01:55] genii: 02:07.0 Multimedia audio controller [0401]: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 [1102:0002] (rev 07) [01:55] coreymon77: OK. Give me a minute to look on Google === yalhua is now known as mjponce [01:59] coreymon77: Not much enlightenment :( [01:59] genii: maybe i should fiddle around with the hardware settings [02:00] as in, take it off autodetect [02:00] stdin: i have kde 3.5.9 [02:00] and does it matter what is selected for midi device [02:00] ? [02:00] coreymon77: Unfortunately I don't know much about these cards [02:01] diceman: you have to install ksplash [02:01] coreymon77: I did see an ancient bug reported in debian (circa 2005) regarding some load order of the drivers but not certain if this problem still exists. [02:02] ksplah ? [02:02] genii: so im SOL? === diego is now known as tucu [02:03] does it heavy ? [02:03] ksplash [02:03] diceman: ksplash is the package that will add the KDE splash screen to System Settings [02:04] genii: its wierd [02:04] coreymon77: There's always a way to get something woking... it's just a matter of being persistent and finding the right resources. I'm not primarily a sound-system expert however [02:04] i have login manager in the system setting already [02:04] genii: looking in midi device, they all say ALSA device [02:04] or ksplash do a different thing ?* [02:05] genii: every single one in that list says ALSA device at the end [02:05] hi ... i had windwos vista and i made a second partition and i installed kubuntu .. when i press the power button the pc starts and gives me a list so that to select which OS i want to start ... at first ita has kubuntu and then windows vista .. how can i change this to show first windows vista and then kubuntu ??? [02:05] yet your saying i have the oss drivers in this [02:05] diceman: are you trying to change the login screen or the splash screen? [02:05] coreymon77: Perhaps change the Sound System to ALSA and restart the sound server, see if anything develops [02:05] lakis1982: you wont want to soon enough, trust us :P [02:05] diceman: then it should be there http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/4019/splashrh2.jpg [02:06] the login screen [02:06] hooo [02:06] splash screen and login screen are two differents thing [02:06] excuse me for my "noobeeing" [02:06] i just want to changgge it for my parents that use the ppc because they dont know .. anything ..they just push the button and wait the pc to start [02:07] so can i change it ? [02:07] lakis1982: the order of OS's are stored in /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:07] diceman: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu#head-4b3b5593ae454ea8991ad90ceb81f453a0e6ab82 [02:07] genii: nope, still nothing, i press test sound and nothing comes out [02:07] <`jason> hey [02:07] <`jason> i was wondering [02:07] \hold on please [02:08] `jason: so was i :P [02:08] lakis1982: don't make any changes unless you know what your doing. The easiest thing is to just change the default # [02:08] <`jason> in ubuntu you can set your desktop effects to high medium or low [02:08] so kinney what should i do ? [02:08] <`jason> so how do i do that [02:08] <`jason> with kubuntu [02:08] how do i change hte default? [02:09] lakis1982: about 13 lines in you'll see default 0, change that to the number in the list that windows is [02:09] lakis1982: than as long as they don't press anything it will automatically boot windows [02:10] im on root /boot/grub folder [02:10] genii: any other ideas? [02:10] and i see the menu.lst file [02:10] coreymon77: Perhaps try from konsole: sudo modprobe -r snd-emu10k1; sudo modprobe snd-emu10k1x [02:10] and another file named default [02:10] coreymon77: There seems to be 2 drivers, one with the "x" at the end [02:10] <`jason> guys [02:10] <`jason> in ubuntu you can set your desktop effects to high medium or low [02:10] FATAL: Module snd_emu10k1 is in use [02:10] <`jason> so how do i do that [02:10] <`jason> with kubuntu [02:11] lakis1982: don't worry about the default file. You just want to change the default option in menu.lst [02:11] coreymon77: Close the mixer, then try again [02:11] <[Relic]> how can you add something permanently to $PATH and where is that $PATH info actually stored? [02:11] so i open now the menu.lst ok ? [02:11] coreymon77: You can run it again by alt-f2 kmix [02:11] genii: all i have open is kmix [02:11] genii: still gives me the same error [02:11] <`jason> ? [02:12] coreymon77: After kmix is closed? [02:12] lakis1982: yea you need to edit the file with sudo [02:12] what should i type? [02:12] hi, i have a question. i'm currently running gentoo, and got another hard drive that i have mounted and blah blah blah. anyways, i wanted to run the kubuntu install cd (mount -o loop) from gentoo (i can't seem to find any blank CDs), and thought i should be able to do this...but i'm not sure how to go about it. the slave hdd i installed today is where i want kubuntu to go...anyway of doing this? [02:12] genii: yup [02:12] <[Relic]> time to check ksysguard and see if there is a process of kmix already running? [02:13] lakis1982: it probably already says 0 you need to change it to the number it shows up in the list [02:13] stdin: okay man i understand a lot of things [02:13] thanks [02:13] coreymon77: And the Sound System page is also closed? [02:13] genii: just closed it, and same error [02:13] i talk english and change my login screen [02:13] FATAL: Module snd_emu10k1 is in use [02:13] Hmm [02:15] coreymon77: Without systematically removing modules until it can unload the emu10k1 module I'm out of immedate ideas [02:15] coreymon77: As I said earlier I'm not primarily a sound system debugger [02:15] someone told me about grubeditor [02:15] maybe disable the sound system in prefs [02:15] ? [02:16] coreymon77: I'm thinking if anyone can help they are probably in #alsa channel [02:18] lakis1982: there are a couple grub editors in the repositories if you want to go that route [02:19] genii: arent i not using alsa though? [02:20] thanks i fixed it [02:20] coreymon77: When I search for the emu10k1 drivers it shows them under the alsa-driver tree, eg: /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.ko on my particular box [02:20] lakis1982: manually or through a GUI editor? [02:20] for this in `lsmod | cut -d' ' -f1 | grep snd` ;do modprobe -r $this ;done [02:21] genii: so, what does that mean for me [02:21] something else please ... can i play games of windows in linux .. i mean games like fifa , assassins creed , grand theft auto etc ... ??? [02:21] coreymon77: Basically that my limited knowledge of the sound system means someone else would be better equipped to assist :) [02:21] through gui editor i fixed it [02:22] coreymon77: If no one in this channel then likely #alsa === v6lur_ is now known as v6lur [02:22] lakis1982: for windows applications theres Wine, Crossover Office and Cedega, Cedega is the best for gaming but it's commercial and costs money [02:24] what do u use? [02:24] lakis1982: I used to use Cedega but I don't really game on the comp anymore [02:25] lakis1982: If you're already dual-booting just keep Windows around for gaming. Many things don't run as expected under wine or cedega or so on [02:25] I currently use wine but do have cedega installed [02:26] but I am only currently playing wow which is supported under wine [02:26] ok [02:28] i thought there was a linux port of wow ? [02:28] blizzard would never do that [02:28] lakis1982: You best bet is go to http://appdb.winehq.org/ and search for the game and see if its supported [02:28] how do you remove the ubuntu/gnome portion? i installed kubuntu-desktop and now i don't want gnome.. [02:29] or gdm [02:29] !purekde | ybit [02:29] ybit: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [02:30] genii: awesom [02:30] ybit: np [02:30] !stablevideo [02:30] Factoid stablevideo not found [02:30] i knew it didnt exist yet [02:30] !puregnome [02:30] If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> [02:30] !pureserver [02:30] Factoid pureserver not found [02:30] Agent_bob: Yes, it's equal opportunity ;) [02:31] pfft [02:31] !purexfce [02:31] Factoid purexfce not found [02:31] hardly [02:31] Hmm [02:31] You may be right === Agent_bob is now known as intelikey [02:33] pureserver http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d367eb6eb [02:35] Hmm [02:35] and for pure xfce you could just use both of the puregnome + purekde to remove them or which ever you had [02:35] genii :)) [02:35] intelikey: Yes, true [02:35] intelikey: Weird. It's like you and stdin are on shiftwork or something [02:36] hey intelikey shift aint finished yet stdin :p [02:36] PErhaps i spoke too soon [02:39] ti entoli pataw gia na sindethw ws root ?

[02:41] lakis1982: You don't [02:41] !root | lakis1982 [02:41] lakis1982: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:42] i ahve some folders in a local disk [02:42] how do i plaec shortcuts on desktop? [02:42] how do i place their shortcuts on desktop? [02:43] right click desktop and i think its shortcut to application [02:44] flaccid how ? [02:44] i dont find anything [02:47] is there a apt-get for pureftpc? [02:47] lakis1982: this is kde3 ? [02:47] lakis1982: The folders in the local disk need to be readable (at least) by your user. And it's the right-click on desktop then Create New...Link to Location. Then you put in the path to the file there or browse to it if you can [02:48] yep thats it. sorry on kde4 atm.. [02:49] coreymon77: I see they are running you ragged in #alsa ;) [02:49] genii: yup [02:50] w0a, there is response in #alsa, coool... [02:50] can anybody tell me how to change the icon on the Application Launcher plasmoid? [02:50] :-/ [02:50] it changed itself... somehow... and i just want to change it back [02:50] gasparin: Perhaps they may know in #kubuntu-kde4 [02:50] ah.. thanks genii [02:50] !kde4 [02:50] 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 [02:52] i think that kde4 not having a right click menu for "everything" is a mistake [02:52] Context is good [02:52] that was the one thing that i really liked about kde3 [02:53] but who am i to say such things i don't even use kde# anymore [02:53] isn't that because devs just aint got there yet with context menus ? [02:53] flaccid we can only hope [02:54] I have one that has context ... it's a cpu load monitor. But it has other weirdness [02:54] they are adding new things all the time, but its still the stability that concerns me and alot is not the plasma devs fault, its the vendors :( [02:54] flaccid: How do you figure that? [02:54] Like it wants to stay on top flashing over the screensaver for instance [02:55] jhutchins: watching mailing lists with bugs/issues in plasma etc. eg. video drivers like restricted [02:55] so many variables in it [02:55] so have they started calling it "k4" yet ? cause in a few years they'll make a real dog "k9" :) [02:55] roflmao [02:55] that's nothing to do with kde4's stability though. I guess it affects the 3D stuff, but it's not KDE. [02:56] jhutchins: um thats what i said.... and also it does effectively make it unstable [02:56] I can see that, ok. [02:56] and its not just the 3D stuff [02:56] full kudos to the devs, its a lot of things to deal with that i didn't think about it until i looked in a bit closer [02:56] * jhutchins thinks crap bloated programming might have something to do with instability, but maybe it's just the drivers. [02:57] lol [02:57] I mean, 3.5 is stable. [02:57] its the drivers plus lots of other things that are over the top of my head heh [02:57] I'm awaiting the bright brain that makes a kde4 plasmoid wrapper for all the old kde3 applets. that will be some accomplishment [02:58] I think it's a lot of fuss over "Oooooh, round corners!". [02:58] yep thats hectic [02:58] not really, the underlying concepts are really good UI design/theory imho [02:58] eg. ZUI etc. [03:00] who's going to invent the push down to zome mouse ? i mean three dee desktop needs a three dee rodent, right ? [03:00] zome mouse? [03:00] you know if you mash down on the mouse, the cursor goes deeper into the desktop [03:00] zoome away from you [03:01] zooms [03:01] im confused, you talking about the ZUI ? [03:01] zoom zoom zoom [03:01] sorry wrong comercial [03:01] haha [03:01] ZUI i have not seen so i don't know. [03:02] Hello [03:02] zooming user interface? zoom out/in [03:02] hi what kde program do i have available to view disk usage on kubuntu [03:02] hi [03:02] i'm talking about being able to move the mouse in three dirrections not just two [03:02] Could I get some help with nvidia drivers and kubuntu? [03:02] i thought it was something like kdisk? [03:02] I'm seeing a lot of talk on the forums about Firefox 3 having hit the repos.

[03:06] that is 8.4 so what's this? " missing some files i have remains of 8.04" never mind i caught up with what you were trying to say.

[03:07] and do the command intelikey says if it suggests [03:07] okay [03:07] genii: bad question to ask me - I lose track every time, and have no idea how to check.

[03:09] well thats what konsole said to do. [03:10] you mean i have to go threw that again? [03:10] :( [03:10] its still brinning up the DPKG when running thoes update commands [03:10] um its a corrupt file because its wasnt finished downloading or whatever when you did the upgrade before [03:10] codster: pastebin the whole output [03:10] okay [03:10] flaccid can't say for sure but probably the file being downloaded when the power went off, that's my first guess on it anyway [03:11] intelikey: ok coolio thanks for info [03:11] genii: fine and well, didn't realize I wasn't on the latest release.... not sure why I'm not, though, but I do see the Full Upgrade button in Adept is enabled. Explains much. [03:11] hi [03:11] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYmADPVEqU4 [03:11] ops greeg has been spamming channels all day, ban please [03:11] Search4Lancer: np [03:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/21027/ [03:12] codster: and now run sudo dpkg --configure -a and let us know the output in pastebin [03:13] okay [03:13] also a good idea to do just straight paste including copying the command you ran and the prompt. (it can't copy the password) [03:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/21028/ [03:13] i know [03:13] lol [03:14] its just the last one i had thoes list of updates [03:14] didnt wanna take up space and time. [03:14] !enter | codster [03:14] codster: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:14] sorry [03:14] sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0198 [03:14] codster: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0199 && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [03:15] okay and that will pickup to where i left off? [03:15] lets see.. [03:15] he'll have to sudo dpkg --configure -a first, before apt will run correctly [03:15] hello, i installe my kubuntu and now i cant open windows where i have very important files what can i do>??? [03:15] when i do that it does not ask me for a pass [03:15] it just sets in a new line [03:15] sudo keeps pass for a period of time so you don't have to re-enter [03:15] okay lol, [03:16] ivan_: whats the error [03:16] sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0199 && sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [03:16] intelikey: is it ok to remove /var/lib/dpkg/updates/* ? [03:16] flaccid, i dont know it sends me to a sytem recovery thing and i cant fix it anyway [03:17] ivan_ "cant open windows" ??? you mean windows won't boot ? [03:17] ivan_: need more information [03:17] wow, its giving me one file after the other "099/0200" etc.etc now im @ 0201 [03:17] i have to correct all of them i guess? === luis is now known as tigremx [03:18] um codster sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/updates/* [03:18] i assume so [03:18] intelikey, yes it wont boot it srend me to a system recovery thing where i try to recover my windows and simply i cant recover it, all the options they gicve me wont work [03:18] cannot remove its a directory [03:18] is there a apt-get for pureftpc? [03:18] pureftpd [03:18] codster you left off the * at the end [03:19] ohh [03:19] lol [03:19] bestpvp: its in the repos [03:19] okay that is done, [03:19] i think my command was ok :o [03:19] now from the top? [03:19] sudo dpkg [03:19] ivan_: microsoft windows? [03:19] flaccid, yes [03:19] ivan_: windows support in ##windows not here [03:19] hehehe thanks flaccid [03:19] and intelikey [03:19] np. intelikey is the man here.. [03:20] ivan_ first boot linux and try to mount the ntfs file system so you can save your "important files" to the linux system then work on trying to get windows working. [03:20] i known him befor, i was @ Kubuntu channel as Elite101 [03:20] intelikey, i dont care about windows i just want to have my curriculum, how do i mount the ntfs system to my linux?? [03:21] ivan_ is linux running now ? [03:21] lol its just funny i have a Half and Half OS right now, of 2 diffrent versions. althou i was running into some problems with Adept [03:21] intelikey, yes [03:21] ivan_: disks and filesystems in system settings and click enable on the windows fs [03:21] ivan_ do you know how to use a "pastebin" ? [03:22] intelikey, yes [03:22] flaccid it's unlikely it will be clean so probably wont mount without force [03:22] intelikey: ah in those cases you need to get windows to scan it? is there a scan yet in linux ? [03:22] ivan_ you can try what flaccid said. if it fails pastebin the output of cat /proc/partitions for me please. [03:23] flaccid he can't get windows to do anything. that's the problem. [03:23] doesn't sound like hes tried to mount it yet in linux but [03:24] correct. [03:24] intelitek, http://paste.ubuntu.com/21029/ [03:24] flaccid, http://paste.ubuntu.com/21029/ [03:24] but he has tried to recover it from the windows repair console... [03:24] yeah but didn't really know the problem there [03:25] how do you force mount anyway in these conditions? [03:25] When my windows went bad, i just poped in the CD and i hit R for repair, it looks as if it was re-installing, but all it did was clean the Files and replaced them [03:25] ivan_ type in a konsole df -h and pastebin the output [03:25] it ran perfectly after that! [03:26] depends what the *actual* problem is [03:26] all my Files/Docuements program etc,etc where all in tacked, as if nothing had happend [03:26] codster: yeah user doesn't want windows anymore anyway [03:26] ohh [03:26] okay i see, [03:27] flaccid, howintelitek, http://paste.ubuntu.com/21030/ [03:27] flaccid, sorry how do you suggets i mount them?? [03:27] intelitek, http://paste.ubuntu.com/21030/ [03:27] ivan_: is it this one? /dev/sda1 108G 103G 4.5G 96% /media/disk [03:28] flaccid, yes [03:28] ivan_ ls /media/disk and see what is there ? [03:28] ivan_: its mounted and files are in /media/disk .. [03:28] once i update to 8.4, then i can finnally get my Mac OSX theme. all spiffy and nice :D [03:28] ivan_ that is lower case L ls /media/disk [03:28] codster: what kind of theme? [03:29] um [03:29] not sure yet [03:29] Ive seen some on Youtube that look pretty promising, [03:29] intelitek, http://paste.ubuntu.com/21032/ [03:29] fair enough [03:29] ivan_: so you can copy your files out of there if you like... [03:29] intelitek, how do i acces that?? [03:29] Ill just try some out, if not i will get a Windows Vista, Aero without the bloatware :D [03:30] ivan_ ok. use konqueror and go get your files from /media/disk/ [03:30] ivan_: /media/disk in address bar in konqueror or dolphin for example [03:30] wait i messed it up [03:31] flaccid he's not got any place to put them. [03:31] revisit the df output [03:31] intelitek, omg i did the most stupid thing on earth im doing this on my stable comp all the codes i gave are not the correct ones, let me pabstein the real ones [03:32] or then again.... [03:32] intelitek, im ivan [03:32] * intelikey headdesk [03:32] is it difficult to have kde 3 and 4 on the machine at the same time [03:32] depends what he needs and if he ivan_ had somewhere to put them like a dvd burner for eg. [03:32] any docs on this? [03:32] looks like i need a backport [03:32] brian_: they are separate [03:33] !kde4 | brian_ [03:33] brian_: 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 [03:34] javier ok. pastebin the output of# df -h ;cat /proc/partitions ;sudo fdisk -l [03:35] intelitek, http://paste.ubuntu.com/21034/ [03:36] no fdisk -l in that [03:36] intelitek, http://paste.ubuntu.com/21035/ [03:37] 2x ntfs hmm [03:37] javier: You should probably add a letter or two more of his name before hitting the Tab key [03:37] javier ok. were your files on c: or d: ? [03:38] intelitek, c: [03:38] genii, what u mean?? [03:39] javier ok. try this. sudo mount -sr /dev/sda1 /mnt [03:39] javier: intelitek <> intelikey [03:40] thank youuu!!! its almost doneee!! lol [03:40] i will be running ful 8.4 [03:40] :D [03:40] javier what did it say ? [03:40] intelitek, nothing [03:41] need a command help [03:41] javier good. use konqueror and browse /mnt [03:41] nice [03:41] flaccid shalom [03:41] wow firefox 3.0? [03:41] it already has it included [03:41] nice [03:41] oh thought that was nite [03:41] i can't even remember what shalom means :o [03:41] peace [03:41] ah yeah [03:42] is that jewish or something? [03:42] yeah [03:42] i need to edit the fstab lines on a live cd, to add in a 160 gb drive, so i can delete a worm. i don't remeber the correct command though. sudo ??? "./fstab" [03:42] coolio [03:42] shalom is arabic for peace [03:42] codster: still download it from mozillas site though, because apt downloads dont count towards the record count [03:42] ah arabic [03:42] ubuntu: kdesudo /etc/fstab or use disks & filesystems in system settings [03:42] actually salem is arabic but no mattere [03:43] yeah thats what i thought [03:43] ubuntu: shalom is hebrew [03:43] ah well im aussie, i'll just say 'peace mate' :o [03:43] ohh yeah! [03:43] thats true corey thats tomarrow! 1pm! :D [03:43] speaking of brews i;ll just grab another coffee [03:43] intelitek, ok i browsed it now?? [03:43] codster: no, it ends tomorrow at one [03:43] ubuntu you dont need to edit fstab on the live CD you can specify mount options on the command line. [03:43] codster: its on now [03:44] javier are your files there ? [03:44] codster: download day is now, it ends tomorrow at 1 [03:44] codster: so download now [03:44] i cant find document and settings [03:44] coreymon: you sure? [03:44] ohh i did already [03:44] javier: possibly on the other ntfs fs ? [03:44] ill download 3 more? [03:44] wait you guys want some? ill download for you guys too [03:45] intelikey: ok, it's been along time sense i last used linux. baby steps please and thanks [03:45] flaccid, sda2?? [03:45] codster: dont [03:45] javier ok we may have the wrong partition. back out of /mnt in konqueror. and run this command in the konsole# sudo umount /mnt ;sudo mount -sr /dev/sda2 /mnt [03:45] codster: it wont count [03:45] do *we* want some? we get ours from the repositories (most of us i would say) [03:46] Daisuke_Laptop: that doesnt count towards the download day record count [03:46] Daisuke_Laptop: install from the repos, but atleast download from the site once [03:46] ubuntu ok. man mount look at the file system specific options and then use the -o switch to add the ones you want. [03:47] intelitek, there is a folder called lost+found , but it says i cant acces it [03:47] I'm running 4.1 beta on Ubuntu Hardy. Works OK. I have a question about using compiz. [03:47] javier you have formated the partition to ext2/3 [03:47] pauljohn: #kubuntu-kde4 please [03:48] javier or possably rieserfs. either way it's no longer ntfs on sda2 [03:48] OK,bye! [03:48] intelitek, and all the files are lost?? [03:48] javier yep. [03:48] intelitek, nothing i can possibly do?? [03:49] you could employ a data recovery specialist or buy some data recovery software [03:49] javier if there not on the other partition, as an amiture. only one thing. pay a professional and hope. [03:49] and either way its expensive as [03:49] javier, its intelikey, this is so he can see your red text [03:50] intelikey, no recovery software in linux, i need that curriculum for tomorrow morning [03:50] javier lets look one more time on the other fs. back konqueror out of there. sudo umount /mnt ;sudo mount -sr /dev/sda1 /mnt and look again. [03:51] javier: i think you are out of options. [03:51] yeah double check thats its not on those filesystems first /me does a backup ; excuse the pun [03:51] javier there is recovery software but the thing is that you have "over writen" things already. the ext2fs makes superblocks ever so often from one end of the fs to the other. [03:54] intelikey: ok, i read the -t options, and i am lost. its a nfs(that ntfs, or windows vis-ugh-ta, right?) so i just use the line(w/o quotes) "mount -t nfs"? [03:54] * Daisuke_Laptop pokes intelitek [03:54] intelikey, i can give it a try [03:54] it can probably do it with no switches ubuntu [03:54] now ubuntu i'll post you an example or two. sudo mount -o umask=0,rw /dev/hdd3 /mnt -t vfat or sudo mount -o uid=1001,gid=0 -t affs /dev/hdb1 /mnt [03:55] i find it easier to add to fstab and then just mount -a or mount /media/mountpoint .. [03:55] still i think ntfs can just do sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 for example [03:56] intelikey how can i send you an image of how sda1 works, and wen i start windows vista the loader in the bottom do work but then it goes to that recovery thing [03:56] intelikey flaccid: all i'm looking for is a one time mount, on sda1. i try to automount it, and it doesn't cyting an error in fstab. [03:56] ubuntu usdo mount -t ntfs -o fmask=111,dmask=000 /dev/sda1 /mnt [03:57] intelikey: thnks(the first parts spelled wrong i'm assuming [03:57] ubuntu: thats what we advised :) [03:58] !ntfs | ubuntu if you want some docs on it as well [03:58] ubuntu if you want some docs on it as well: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubottu NTFS-3g or /msg ubottu FUSE [03:58] javier it does that because the boot fs (C:) is there but the data fs (D:) is now gone and it can't find your user documents settings [03:58] ubuntu yes typo [03:58] intelikey what recovery program i need?? [03:59] intelikey: uh-oh. heres where the fun begins. mount returned wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1... [03:59] javier you can try "testdisk" in your linux system but i'm doubtful that you will have much luck with an fs that is over writen. i never did. [04:00] javier: easy recovery professional is one of the best, is commercial and expensive [04:00] ubuntu pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l [04:00] ubuntu: this is why disks & filesystems is easier with one click :) [04:02] intelikey, how do i get testdisk [04:02] javier the lesson that comes from all this is simple. "there is no substitute for keeping backups" [04:02] javier sudo apt-get install testdisk === ubuntu is now known as xiaden [04:02] intelikey yup [04:02] http://pastebin.com/m81b9e98 intelikey [04:02] intelikey, couldnt find the package [04:03] flaccid: whatcha mean? [04:03] xiaden: about what [04:03] -:- SignOff root: #kubuntu (Nick collision from services.) [04:04] ubuntu: this is why disks & filesystems is easier with one click :) [04:04] timed that just right... [04:04] javier hmmm.

[04:04] javier it's in the universe repo [04:05] yeah my first reponse to your question xiaden [12:42] ubuntu: kdesudo /etc/fstab or use disks & filesystems in system settings === adam is now known as Guest49063 [04:06] should just be able to click on enable on the filesystem in there [04:06] oh. looking that up right now =:P [04:06] i see compiz-KDE but not fusion? [04:06] is taht the window manager i should get for KDE? [04:06] codster: what are you trying to achieve? [04:07] Mac OSX theme :P [04:07] not sure what this has to do with themes [04:07] xiaden file /dev/sda1 [04:07] thats what you need is Compiz for themes? [04:08] i also have emerald too, [04:08] codster: you don't need anything for themes. still depends what kind of theme [04:08] intelikey: /dev/sda1: block special (8/1) [04:08] ohh [04:08] i see, [04:08] flaccid: the dis and filesystem doesn't give me an enable option when i clikc on the HD partition. [04:08] xiaden file -s /dev/sda1 sorry. [04:08] nomatter what i do i can't get kaffiene to notice that libdvdcss2 is installed on my system [04:08] xiaden: go into administrator mode or run it under kdesudo systemsettings [04:09] mike-kubuntu: ubuntu release? [04:09] flaccid: i am [04:09] intelikey: /dev/sda1: writable, no read permission [04:09] xiaden: sounds like a bug :( [04:09] faccid: 8.04 [04:09] =P vistas a b* [04:09] flaccid no it sounds like the fs is hosed. look at his output of file [04:09] xiaden: its a button below that says enable. i wouldn't mind having a look at a screenshot if you can provide [04:10] oh yeah [04:10] xiaden one more time just to make sure. sudo file -s /dev/sda1 [04:10] umm. can't save it =P [04:10] intelikey: actually, why do you say that? [04:10] wait. [04:10] looks fine?

[04:11] ok that's better. [04:11] no place to save... i'll try [04:11] what command was that from? [04:11] =P nvm [04:11] ah i see, need sudo for the extra info [04:11] flaccid it's just wierd permissions user can write but not read to the device that's bad but not the issue. [04:12] i think i have the same perms on these things on my system [04:12] xiaden: pastebin output of sudo mkdir /media/sda1; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 [04:12] grr, this has happened before as well [04:12] i can't imagine it. any user could wipe out the entire fs without root clearance.... yuch [04:12] before i solved it with a simple dpkg-reconfigue kaffeine [04:12] but that doesn't seem to do the trick this time [04:12] mike-kubuntu: need a dif package [04:13] !info libdvdread3 | mike-kubuntu [04:13] mike-kubuntu: libdvdread3 (source: libdvdread): library for reading DVDs.

[04:15] xiaden: it mounted then goto /media/sda1 [04:16] ie. xiaden check mount | grep sda1 [04:17] flaccid "brw-rw----" that permission would not be "writable, no read permission" that would either be "can read can write" or "no access" depending on the user/group [04:17] intelikey, now that im partially safe i can yo help me with some other problems [04:17] javier i'll try. [04:18] alright guys, question [04:18] there a good archive manager for ubuntu? [04:18] my ipod is a mac formatted hfs+ file system ipod [04:18] =P mk [04:18] intelikey: well it just must be a basic summary with file -s /dev/sda1 which returns on mine: /dev/sda1: writable, no read permission [04:18] until my mac comes back from repairs, i want to be able to add stuff to my ipod in kubuntu [04:19] now i just need to change the permissions... i know my vista info... is it doable? (intelikey flaccid) [04:19] flaccid: i see it mentioned but no solutions, only see it outright mentioned in a bug report under bug 103173 thats actually about totem-xine not kaffeine [04:19] Launchpad bug 103173 in totem "[totem-xine] DVD will not play" [Low,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/103173 [04:19] all the ipod managers ive tried give me the error that my ipod is mounted as a read only file system [04:19] flaccid hmmm odd. [04:19] bestpvp: ark [04:19] linux has gotta be able to write to hfs+ somehow [04:19] how can i do this? [04:19] xiaden: thats why you put it in fstab as per the link before from !ntfs [04:20] my user gets /dev/hda: x86 boot sector, LInux i386 boot LOader but i dont use partitions [04:20] can i apt-get it? [04:20] mike-kubuntu: could be related, but i would encourage submitting another one and see what they do about it. a lot of people have reported this one [04:20] intelikey, my screen is reduces, i dont know how to explain but my bottom pannel is shorter than the screen and is lifte from the bottom of the screen [04:21] flaccid: k [04:21] coreymon77: lots on google [04:21] xiaden you can change permissions on the fly yes. sorry i was sidetracked. sudo mount -o remount,umask=000 /mountpoint <<< translate mountpoint [04:21] Hi I have a Gateway C140XL with ATI mobility radeon 2300 HD and I was trying to install Kubuntu KDE4 remix and the CD loads and everything... it even shows me the text right before it tries to start X but then nothing happens.. what could be wrong and how do I fix it? [04:21] flaccid: i get bashed trying kdesudo command [04:22] err sorry [04:22] bashed? [04:22] flaccid [04:22] javier is that a laptop ? [04:22] flaccid: i get a bash error doing that kdesudo "/etc/fstab" my box got moved up a little =P [04:23] moosah: most likely video driver problem with that card. you can try the safe graphics mode, alternate cd or even changing xorg.conf on the fly [04:23] just remount it xiaden [04:23] I have a Mac OSX theme with multiple folders it says GTk2.0 [04:23] xiaden: if there is an error, don't tell us you have an error, just tell the error [04:23] xiaden you can change permissions on the fly yes. sorry i was sidetracked. sudo mount -o remount,umask=000 /mountpoint <<< translate mountpoint {repost} [04:23] how to i add them into the theme manager so i can have all the neat things? [04:23] flaccid, where can I readup on those options? [04:23] codster: gtk is gnome not kde [04:23] well on KDE [04:23] it has a GTK thing. [04:24] !alternate | moosah [04:24] moosah: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Kubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/8.04/kubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [04:24] GtK stills and fonts [04:24] styles [04:24] javier ? [04:24] moosah: safe graphics mode is from the menu on boot and the last one is quite manual... [04:24] codster: yes but not 'GTK themes' [04:24] but its for KDE thou [04:24] which are usually metatcity or some other thing [04:25] um, link? [04:25] intelikey: translate? to dev/sda1 ight? that doesn't change the permissions at all. [04:25] ohh metacity [04:25] i dont have a link but it has that too [04:25] in another folder, [04:25] intelikey: wait, acutally, it made them forbidden to all but owner, and owner can read only =P [04:25] I have just setup a webserer on 8.04 that hosts Clutch. I can access it perfectly on my LAN, but I cannot access it using my external IP Address. I have set up apache serers before and accessed them externally, just not with this new 2wire router I have. The port forwarding seems to be set up right, but its not working. Is it possible the default settings on apache are bloking the connections from the external ip address [04:25] xiaden no to the place where you have /dev/sda1 mounted already [04:25] i don't know what you are trying to install. still its best to read the doco it comes with codster [04:25] flaccid, thanks! I'll go try that === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale [04:26] intelikey: so /media/sda1 =P [04:26] xiaden like /mnt or /media/disk or something like that where the fs is mounted the mountpoint [04:26] apollo2011: you need check out the Allow directive in your apache configuration (at least) [04:26] xiaden yes [04:26] i dont understand ther eis nothing to read [04:26] its just a folder with files [04:26] codster: where did you get this folder with files, and there should be doco in at least 1 of the files otherwise the devs suck.. [04:27] intelikey: i still don't have access permissions. [04:27] kde-loog [04:27] eg. README or INSTALL [04:27] look [04:27] nothing [04:27] codster: if its on kde-look then there is a link [04:27] xiaden do: mount | grep sda1 [04:27] and show me. [04:27] it [04:27] one second [04:28] to me. [04:28] intelikey: /dev/sda1 on /media/sda1 type ntfs (rw,umask=000) [04:28] and you don't have permission to that ? non-sense [04:28] xiaden how are you trying to access it ? [04:28] xiaden: can you pastebin ls -l /media/sda1 ? [04:29] flaccid you want the file in /media/sda1 ? if not add -d [04:29] http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/mac+theme?content=80135 [04:29] right there [04:29] intelikey: not sure what you mean [04:29] which one outta these could i use? http://www.kde-look.org/content/search.php [04:30] ls -ld /media/sda1 [04:30] these terms are confusing, Compiz Fusion/GTk im a little lost [04:30] http://pastebin.com/d430741ff [04:30] can post that in here it will return one line [04:30] intelikey: oh i wanted to look inside of the mountpoint [04:31] we didn't get too though... [04:31] first one was perm. denied, this one's dr-x------ 1 root root 24576 2008-06-17 07:51 /media/sda1 [04:31] codster: ok so its a compiz theme. goto #compiz-fusion and ask how to install [04:31] flaccid intelikey: first one was perm. denied, this one's dr-x------ 1 root root 24576 2008-06-17 07:51 /media/sda1 [04:31] i forget intelikey, whats umask 000 do ? [04:31] well i have another theme thats in emerald [04:32] i imported it but it wont let me install it? there is multiple themes there and i cant install them i tried clicking everything [04:32] codster: i guess you add it via emerald, but im not sure [04:32] codster: #compiz-fusion [04:32] flaccid: it won't let me upload screenshots to photobucket =P [04:32] xiaden o.O what about ntfs have they ******up ? mount says it's umask=000 and that's not at all umask=000 [04:33] xiaden: all good. in this case i recommend adding it to fstab and using the users option for user mount [04:33] xiaden chmod 777 /media/sda1 [04:33] sudo that ^ [04:33] you might need to unmount first ? [04:33] flaccid: would that be set in a way that could block external traffic by default? I haven't done anything to the config... [04:34] intelikey: chmod: changing permissions of `/media/sda1': Read-only file system [04:34] Yay! Launchpad is back up! [04:34] still no diff permissions =P [04:34] apollo2011: its authorisation and i can't remember what the configuration is by default. its always best to check apache logs to find out why. if this is public URI, give me the link [04:35] can't change perms on ntfs [04:35] xiaden ok. i don't know anything at all about the new "mount" command. everything i'm used to says that your system is acting extreemly wierd. [04:35] no help @ compiz-fusion this kinda sucks [04:35] so i'm out. [04:35] flaccid: you can try it, my DynDNS is apollo2011.homelinux.org [04:35] if it works, it would give the normal apache index.htm saying "It Works!" [04:36] codster: google how to install a compiz theme... [04:36] i tried everything like that [04:36] so far I just get it sitting there until it times out [04:36] but it only brings me to forums that are empty [04:36] maybe its not for compiz fusion [04:36] or just random themse [04:36] its not [04:36] its for emerald [04:36] mk [04:36] well, back to the drawing boards =P [04:36] i was making some changes and now all inactive windows fade transparent which i don't want. I can't where to correct this. Does anyone know how? Is there maybe a way that i can reset everything? [04:37] xiaden intelikey, this is the options you need rw,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 [04:37] flaccid what the hell is going on with his mount of /dev/sda1 ? mount reports >>> intelikey: /dev/sda1 on /media/sda1 type ntfs (rw,umask=000) <<< and ls reports that mount is lying the perms are really umask=177 and it's mounted ro ? [04:37] intelikey: as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . i think the problem is ntfs takes different masks to normal.. [04:37] everytime i search its always Ubuntu and not Kubuntu [04:37] flaccid umask should set both f and d the same no ? [04:38] intelikey: not sure, not my forte.. [04:39] flaccid, intelikey [04:39] xiaden lets try one more command going on what flaccid said. sudo mount -o remount,fmask=0111,dmask=0000,rw /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 -t ntfs [04:39] mk =P [04:39] maybe i'll learn something.... [04:39] codster: http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=how+to+install+emerald+themes+compiz&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 [04:40] intelikey, yes im using a laptop [04:40] intelikey, flaccid: still a no go =[ [04:40] javier did you by any chance, in the bios settings tell it to "not streach" the display ? [04:41] xiaden: did it put anything in /var/log/messages about it? [04:41] intelikey, nope, should i restart and modify that?? [04:41] has anyone figured out if you can turn off the kickoff bar iwth kde4? [04:41] javier i had that happen one time and that was the answer. i reset it to "streach display" and all was well again. [04:41] I'd like to just lose it to be honest nad put some widgets on my desktop [04:41] it doesn't size well when it's on the side of the screen anywya [04:41] intelikey, ok be back in a sec im gonna try it [04:41] xiaden: my laste suggestion is put it in fstab and then add users option then change the mountpoint to be owned by you and chmod 777 it then mount it (with the options i added just then as well) [04:42] kalorin_: #kubuntu-kde4 [04:42] k tahnks [04:42] they are having the same problem i am having when u import it it wont install the theme [04:42] flaccid: no message. [04:42] no message? [04:43] flaccid: last messages out of messages are: [04:43] codster: sounds like a bug then [04:43] historicly you can do anything with mount on the command line that you can do in the fstab and a few things more... but xiaden's system is not following historic behaviour [04:43] http://pastebin.com/d77ea9dc6 [04:43] gotya [04:43] this doesnt happen to do with the fact i upgraded? [04:44] i have compiz but icant see it [04:44] codster: i don't see how. i mean compiz-fusion/emerald are not part of kubuntu anyway. you have to take this up with them.. [04:44] flaccid, Alright so the safe mode worked and I got into the KDM [04:44] !compiz-fusion | codster [04:44] codster: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion [04:44] xcess: cool [04:44] xiaden however. you can use "kdesu konqueror " and access it anyway (i hope) [04:44] but my wireless card or any other hardware doesnt work... [04:44] i installed it [04:45] intelikey: interesting side note =P http://pastebin.com/d5b271a6 [04:45] flaccid, If I choose to install it, will the wireless card work? [04:45] !wireless | xcess [04:45] xcess: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:45] thats outof the syslog [04:45] xcess: you need to check if its supported first [04:45] intelikey: and delete one file off the root of the drive? [04:46] xiaden: looks like intelikey could be right on the problem with the fs theory [04:46] flaccid , intelikey, on kdesu konqueror i get: [04:47] http://pastebin.com/dd2b55d5 [04:48] xiaden those are non-errors it opened a konqueror window didn't it ? [04:48] intelikey, i didnt find that option, but i dont think is that, if i move windows to the section where it is supposed to be outside the screen i can see them, and it all has a lue background [04:48] intelikey: yhea, i just got into my C: *dance dance dance* [04:49] now to remeber what the hell that file was called... dang. [04:49] in write mode? [04:49] javier hmmm ok. well i'm not much on fixing xorg xrandr errors. so i'll defer you to someone else on that. flaccid maybe. [04:50] ok thanks [04:50] flaccid: idk.. one second. [04:50] intelikey: hang on what happen with xiaden? [04:50] flaccid, can you help me with a resolution problem im having?? [04:50] xiaden: you mounted it ro long time ago here.. [04:50] javier: sure [04:50] zflaccid: no [04:51] huh [04:51] flaccid intelikey: i can't delete [04:51] flaccid ? happened ? i had him start konq as root so he would have permission. [04:51] xiaden: correct. we had it mounted read-only early on here... [04:51] flaccid, its better if i show you a screen photo i took [04:51] flaccid remounted rw tho [04:51] intelikey: what made it remount rw ? [04:52] it should. but obviously things are not "kosher" [04:52] flaccid the mount command. [04:52] i'll repost it. [04:52] xiaden lets try one more command going on what flaccid said. sudo mount -o remount,fmask=0111,dmask=0000,rw /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 -t ntfs [04:52] ^ that [04:52] sorry wouldn't mind seeing ls -ld /media/sda1 now... [04:53] intelikey: i'm assuming i need to close the root conqueror? [04:53] where in the kubuntu window manager can i set the transparency of inactive windows [04:53] xiaden no. that was a repost for flaccid to look at. [04:53] intelikey: ahh [04:53] it obviously isn't accepting things i'm telling it to do. [04:54] where is the kubuntu window manager config [04:54] and the "why" is probably in your pastebin [04:54] flaccid intelikey: wow... i'm looking at my stuff but... ls: /media/sda: No such file or directory [04:54] http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=d5b271a6 [04:54] oh wait [04:54] schmitty: um im not sure if you can in kde3, the people in #kde might be able to advise [04:55] xiaden: sda1 not sda [04:55] sda1 [04:55] flaccid, where can i show an image, where can i send it or where can i upload ig [04:55] flaccid: dr-x------ 1 root root 24576 2008-06-17 07:51 /media/sda1 [04:55] schmitty kcontrol ? [04:55] flaccid: there is a way becaise i have inadvertantly made all inactive windows transparent and i need to change the darn thing back to normal but i can't find the gui anymore [04:56] xiaden and mount | grep sda1 ? [04:56] javier: dcc me if you have to http://tinypic.com maybe http://photobin.com [04:56] hmm no write on it [04:56] intelikey: thankyou i think this is where it is [04:56] iintelikey flaccid: /dev/sda1 on /media/sda1 type ntfs (rw,fmask=0111,dmask=0000) [04:56] schmitty: i'll have another look [04:57] schmitty: ctr alt? [04:57] xiaden: mounted rw with those masks but not translating across in the posix perms [04:57] flaccid see that ? mount is reporting it as accessable but the system says 'not' [04:58] i have literally never see linux do that before. [04:58] seen [04:59] that's like something windows would do "tell windows to do blah, windows says ok i did blah. but blah never got done..." [04:59] schmitty: i think its in kcontrol - appearance and themes - window decorations, then background and overlay tabs. not sure if this is it but.. [04:59] intelikey: yep! [04:59] k flaccid thanx [04:59] intelikey: i think i've seen it before but can't remember anything [04:59] if that's what ubuntu is headed to i'm finished with it. [04:59] flaccid, http://img239.imageshack.us/my.php?image=instantnea2pc2.jpg [04:59] intelikey: something maybe impoertant. that partition has vista which wouldn't boot on it. would the no boot flag make linux regulate it to protect the kernal? [05:00] or whatever you call the flag that gets set when windows dun boot? [05:00] i reckon we gotta work out why first, maybe its that invalid boot sector/messages there. i mean it could the ntfs driver, the partition or the fs hmm [05:00] initial hosed fs theory of intelikey could be best candidate atm imo [05:01] xiaden if so. mount should report it. it's not. in my openion something on your system is broken/buggy either mount or .... ummm mount. [05:01] flaccid: that did it. Cool. that transparency crap was using all my system resources. Thank you [05:01] schmitty: cool, thanks i learnt something too :) [05:02] flaccid: why what? why windows dun boot? thats a virus. win32/bagz sets an invalid driver in your driver bin, and then sets a mass email to people with itself in it, before the driver file ruins windows. [05:02] if i were running hardy i would be in #ubuntu raising hell about that. if it happened where i could see what it was doing i would anyway. [05:02] well, not ruins windows, just kills the boot =P [05:03] xiaden: i wouldn't go that far, but rather find out what the problem is with the fs. viruses are in userland , not the fs and part containers [05:03] they can be. [05:03] well the boot sector damaged or not imo shouldn't affect the mount [05:03] for some reason my display won't go to a higher resolution than 640x480 [05:03] intelikey: well boot sector virus, but the win32/bagz is userland iirc [05:03] there have been several virii that have been made for the MBR in fact [05:04] as in win32/virus.. [05:04] k [05:04] flaccid, what did you think?? [05:04] javier: what was your problem? [05:04] javier: its a very small pic [05:04] how do i make it big? [05:04] flaccid let me see if i can take another pic bigger [05:06] intelikey: i guess still could be mbr virus in there or at least something that affects this mounting hmm. we should contact ntfs authors [05:06] I think the nvidia driver is active, but it still won't apply a higher resolution than 640x480 [05:06] Morslok: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log please [05:07] xiaden check in #ubuntu see if any of the "team" are around at this hour, show them the output of mount | grep sda1 ; ls -ld /media/sda1 ; sudo touch /media/sda1/boo [05:07] and ask why the hell your mount command is lying to you [05:07] hehe! [05:07] flaccid, http://img204.imageshack.us/my.php?image=instantnea3tm8.jpg here is a bigger [05:08] javier: can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log as well please [05:08] i'm serious. i don't get p.*d over things like this very often but this one did it for me... [05:09] * flaccid is sick of video issues on linux. i think it may never be decent because of vendors [05:09] intelikey: i agree. i mean i don't see how it could be 'us' at all [05:10] yeah, i don't like a machine lying to me. tic's me off. [05:10] just got here, what u talkin about? [05:10] flaccid, http://paste.ubuntu.com/21072/ [05:11] bothers me far less when it just reports that it can't do what i want it to... no big deal there. but tell me you did what i said and then let me find that it's not done..... ! [05:11] * flaccid pats his konversation using kfmclient newTab '%u' for web browser [05:11] intelikey, how do i change my keyboard layout?? [05:11] yes, weird for linux not giving further info/error. you think something is supressing it intelikey? [05:11] * intelikey is too mad to do anything productive. [05:11] doorknob60: just ntfs mount problem [05:11] understood [05:11] ok [05:11] javier kcontrol [05:12] javier if you mean in kde it's in kcontrol unless you are in kde4 then it's a system settings module [05:12] flaccid: how do you make konversation open links in new tab?? [05:12] flaccid: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21073/ [05:12] always annoyed me [05:12] javier or did you mean in the console ? [05:13] doorknob60: just like it said: kfmclient newTab '%u' [05:13] * flaccid checks log [05:13] where do you put that though [05:13] brb [05:13] intelikey, but from there i cant modify te layout, for instance i can put ñ (im mexican) but i cant put the arroba [05:13] doorknob60: configure konversation | general [05:13] oh duh i missed that option LO [05:13] :P [05:13] flaccid, so what is wrong with my xorg?? [05:13] just noticed it after i asked [05:13] give me a sec i have to go to little boys room [05:14] javier idk [05:15] banos [05:16] javier: pastebin your xorg.conf please [05:16] and just paste in chan output of lscpi|grep VGA [05:16] -su: lscpi: command not found [05:16] :) [05:17] * intelikey gouges flaccid typo [05:17] * flaccid slaps himself [05:17] ta [05:18] flaccid, http://paste.ubuntu.com/21075/ [05:18] javier he meant paste the output of lspci | grep VGA into this channel "expecting one line" [05:19] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [05:19] there ya go :) [05:19] hey intelikey, you are intel video user? [05:19] nvidia [05:19] ah its stdin that is an intel guy [05:20] !fixresolution | javier [05:20] Factoid fixresolution not found [05:20] yep [05:20] !fixres [05:20] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[05:22] i have one intel i810 never had an issue with it tho [05:22] intelikey; can you make sense of this? xiaden: The filesystem was not mounted ro but the filesystem driver is a read-only drive. [05:22] My 945 works great [05:22] intelikey: xiaden: Use the ntfs-3g driver. [05:23] xiaden show me lsb_release -r [05:23] i've had issues with every intel setup i've touched [05:23] Release: 6.06 [05:23] oh my [05:24] omg [05:24] dapper. [05:24] * flaccid slaps himself [05:24] dapper must not have the ntfs like other releases has. it could still have read only? [05:24] xiaden sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g [05:24] but its LTS, so surely they would of upgraded that [05:25] any ideas what my problem could be? [05:25] yep so you need ntfs-3g because dapper must not have native ntfs write support yet via its kernel or whatever [05:25] flaccid not a chance. they put out tons of security updates and bug fixes but nothing gets added [05:25] intelikey: idoes that sound right? [05:25] flaccid, ca you send me again the url i restarted [05:25] flaccid yes [05:25] intelikey: oh. so its a good old snapshot in time. definately the problem then. no write ntfs in dapper [05:25] initelikey: no such package =P [05:26] javier: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto . im trying to work out which problem it could be.. [05:26] !fuse [05:26] FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems.

[05:27] xiaden sudo apt-get install fuse [05:27] no such package there either =[ [05:28] flaccid, ok ok thanks [05:29] * flaccid feels like an idiot now xiaden; intelikey [05:29] fuse-source is there but you'd have to build that [05:30] flaccid i'm still pissed. mount should not lie about it. [05:30] true, i agree on that as well [05:30] xiaden sudo apt-get install fuse-utils [05:31] see if that helps. [05:31] Package fuse-utils is not available, but is referred to by another package. [05:31] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [05:31] is only available from another source [05:31] E: Package fuse-utils has no installation candidate [05:31] sorry for flood [05:31] are you on the live CD ? [05:31] intelikey: actually thinking back now, this is what i came across a couple of years ago, then i looked it up and found out no ntfs write yet lol [05:32] i was a bit of a newbie but took your point of view.. [05:33] yeah tell me you can't do that, call me stupid for wanting to, but do not lie to me and say you did something you didn't do...

[05:33] intelikey: erpo, xiaden, ntfs-config is the config option you'll need to use to enable write support, if that's the question (this is on hardy, previous versions are a little different) [05:34] yup, i dont have horizsync neither vertrefresh [05:34] lol [05:34] xiaden: i don't think you'll get write support for ntfs in dapper [05:34] flaccid, yup, i dont have horizsync neither vertrefresh [05:35] idk if i'm running hardy =P [05:35] javier: what do you mean? [05:35] xiaden but are you using the dapper live CD ? or is this an installed system ? [05:35] xiaden: sorry, not in the kernel/native.. [05:35] intelikey: how do i find that. [05:35] eject the cd ? [05:36] flaccid, im missing those lines which determine my monitor value in xorg.conf [05:36] xiaden: something like this should help to get what you need http://techpark6.com/ntfs-3g-read-write-ntfs-drives-on-your-linux-box.html [05:36] javier: it shouldnt need it and this shouldnt relate to sync [05:36] intelikey: it's burnt cd from about a week or two ago. [05:36] flaccid: how do you make yourself say...hard to explain, but when you said this: * flaccid feels like an idiot now xiaden; intelikey how did you do that? [05:36] flaccid if he's running the live cd he should just grab another iso [05:37] flaccid, ok, then whats wrong?? [05:37] doorknob60: ? [05:37] javier: im still looking [05:37] doornob60: / me [05:37] xiaden you burned a 2 year old live CD rather than the latest one...... [05:37] xiaden any chance you can use a later modle cd ? [05:38] ... or i threw the wrong freaking cd in the drive X_X [05:38] xiaden: did you do that because it said LTS ? [05:38] xiaden: meh i though i tried that :P [05:38] * doorknob60 is testing the command [05:38] yay [05:39] i wat testing out on the Freenode tab of konversation so noone would see if i did something retarted, i guess it doesnt work on there lolz [05:39] /exec echo $USER [05:40] flaccid: you sure this is an old cd? [05:40] xiaden are you going to reboot the "right freaking cd" ? [05:41] javier: install pkg, 915resolution [05:41] xiaden yes 6.6 that's year month [05:41] it's not the wrong cd. i have the mailed 7.07 over here. [05:41] xiaden: dapper is woeful and old [05:41] umm. [05:41] wow. [05:41] ntfs support was immature at that stage [05:41] 7.04 [05:42] would 7 have ntfs support? [05:42] flaccid, ok... sudo apt-get install pkg and sudo apt-get 915resolution ?? [05:42] that's a year later and "might" have ntfs-3g in it's repos. [05:42] 7.04 does have ntfs-3g in repos, i remember using it [05:42] javier: just sudo apt-get install 915resolution . just follow this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto#head-8b0ad82432ba5f582395ffe40cfa454adaba2068 and make sure to try i810 driver as well [05:42] i'll brb then =P [05:42] !info ntfs-3g edgy [05:42] 'edgy' is not a valid distribution [05:43] dumb bot.

[05:44] rightio [05:44] a buck two ninty five [05:44] javier: read the doc ie. To install 915resolution on Ubuntu make sure that you have included the "universe" repository and type (replacing "915resolution" with "855resolution" on Breezy): [05:45] what do you mean what's the differance ? ubotu had a function for searching all relases ubottu knows almost nothing. [05:45] intelikey: considering intel does have a lot of issues. is there actually a video chip/driver/vendor that is good?

[11:39] its still beta? [11:47] nope [11:48] v3 final is out now [11:52] hi to all [11:52] i need help [11:52] !ask [11:52] 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. :-) [11:53] i want to install kubuntu804 but i have 1 hdd and ntfs on it [11:53] can i convert my nrfs to ext without data lost [11:56] guys.. i need help please.. i load my liveCD and i dont know what can o do now.. my data on ntfs drive is important [11:56] ubuntu_: resize the ntfs [11:57] but only after defragmenting several times [11:57] how.. what tools for it i need [11:57] ubuntu_: you can do it via the partition editor in the install [11:57] i cant defrag because i dont have any windows systems on it [11:58] can you tell me step by step [11:59] only new partition option enabled in installer program [12:00] but i have important data and i can view it now [12:00] I feel i should point out the imporntance of good backups. :) [12:00] * dr_Willis just got here. [12:01] oh my goth... any linux users here? [12:01] no? [12:02] i think i waist my time with this system... it is not for a girls.. [12:03] Hey guys. I'm having trouble with nvidia driver. Anyone who feel they can be of any assistance can visit this thread in kubuntuforums: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3095411.0 [12:04] I use linux all the time. [12:04] :) but i missed your original problem. [12:04] can i convert ntfs partition to ext3 without data lost? how? [12:04] Hmm... Convert.. Not that i know of. [12:04] In theory you could resize, create an ext3, move data over, resize again. [12:04] but that would take a lot of time. [12:05] i have much time [12:05] what can i do this? [12:06] Is it possible to get nvidia-settings from the repositories, it shows up but is unavailable. It seems to be the only way for me to configure both my monitors correctly, as the system settings applet to do it doesn't detect the secondary monitor. [12:06] fuck [12:07] It pays to think first, make a plan then act. Why are you converting ntfs to ext3 anyhway? [12:07] does remastersys work with kubuntu? [12:07] and it always pays to have backups of your imporntant data [12:09] and aparently a dose of patience would help. :) [12:16] anyone using firefox 3 now? spot the ugly tabs? [12:19] Not noticed really. [12:19] Square tabs with an Icon, text, and an X... so? [12:31] Dr_willis: are you using the default firefox theme? [12:32] Dr_willis: and are you applying the current kde theme to gtk apps like firefox? [12:32] No idea. really. Im testing out Mint Linux at the moment. and im under gnome.

[12:53] * sajid is [12:56] helpy, you uncompress the source and compile it. [12:56] its best to find packages for the stuff. [12:57] http://www.monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ [12:57] compile it ? [12:58] if its source code.. yes it needs to be compiled. [12:58] its not source code [12:58] and you will need to install the proper files to get a working compiler and other related packages [12:58] then what IS it? [12:59] freemind [12:59] .tar.gz2 file [12:59] the fact its a tar.gz2 means nothing. [12:59] its whats in the archive that matters. [12:59] I would say check the freemind homepage.

I thought the new Firefox Official Release would be available in the repos. [13:58] engineer: It's not my problem. :) I personally use the terminal all the time. [13:58] i use the terminal too [13:59] but synaptic can be useful for more complex stuff [13:59] i keep adept out of my system [14:01] there's nothing wrong with adept if the repos are setup ok [14:02] synaptic does a bit more with correcting broken dependencies but it's too literal in it's searches , misses a lot of apps that adept finds with no probs [14:05] hi all [14:05] can you help me with Gnome?

[14:32] hello [14:32] i enabled intrepid to get a program update that wasnt in hardy, and did apt-get upgrade without thinking enough [14:32] i mean, there are only a few packages i guess [14:33] Oo [14:34] it's not "full upgrade" now isnt it, i recall there were just some driver libraries or something like that [14:35] or i could find the logs and see if i did "upgrade" afterall, maybe the packages were just recommended with the program [14:38] ok, for example my Perl is 5.10.0-10 which seems to be intrepid according to packages.ubuntu [14:39] so has anyone gotten wow 2 install on ubuntu?

[15:31] I always use the routers ip as my nameserver linuxlover [15:32] linuxlover, either way works here. - if your isp gives you 2 dns servers, you may want to try reversing the order so you might get one with less load. :) if you set the dns manually.

[16:45] adept [16:45] rickest, how do i modify the partition i am in, it is blocked?? [16:45] i get this little terminal when klicking on "show details" [16:47] ivan_: you can never modify a partition that's mounted for writing. most people use a LiveCD [16:47] Escaflowne: then i have no idea, i always upgrade via terminal === luca is now known as Libra [16:49] but it seems like i have no access to it, it just shows me my options and i cant choose anything by clicking or by using the arrow keys [16:49] hmm... [16:49] rickest, how do i do that?? i burn gparted in someway??? [16:49] ivan_: you need to download a LiveCD, burn it to a CD, and boot off that. gparted has a LiveCD just for that purpose but you can use any LiveCD that includes parted [16:50] ivan_: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [16:50] can i savely close adept while its stuck at this point of the installation? [16:52] also i would like to know how to to delete the old kernel files [16:52] rickest, ok another question that may solve my problem, ive got ubuntu installed but when i installed kubuntu i cant acces ubuntu even thoguh i can acces to all its files, in the grub i can only fin kubuntu [16:54] ivan_: grub is the wrong place to look. Do you know if you have xdm/gdm installed? [16:54] rickest no idea [16:55] ivan_: when you first boot up and you finally get a graphics screen do you have to login or does your whole desktop appear automatically? [16:56] rickest, i have windows in also so before kubuntu boots i need to chose between several options [16:57] ivan_: right, I understand. After you select Kubuntu does everything load or does it stop and make you log in at some point? [16:59] ok i canceled adept and killed dpkg and then run dpkg --configure -a and now the installation finished successfully^^ [17:00] rickest, yes i have to put my passw to enter to the desktop [17:01] ivan_: somewhere on that screen is where you should be able to select whether you want Gnome (ubuntu) or KDE (kubuntu) [17:01] ivan_: ubuntu and kubuntu are exactly the same thing except which window manager they start by default, gnome or kde [17:01] even if they are in different partitions?? [17:01] rickest, even if they are in different partitions?? [17:02] ivan_: oh, no [17:03] ivan_: in that case, grub was the right place to look. you'll need to add an entry to /boot/grub/menu.lst pointing to your Ubuntu install [17:03] rickes, i out that code into konsole?? [17:03] ivan_: presumably, yes [17:04] hey room [17:06] how do i change the resolution that the login screen defaults to? for some the login screen is 640x480 [17:07] rickest, do you want me to pastebin my results forom that so u can help me fix it?? [17:07] what do i need to focus for the kernel source [17:08] ivan_: I think that will be difficult w/o being there. You can try, need to paste /boot/grub/menu.lst and the output of 'fdisk -l' (as root) [17:09] !kernel [17:09] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [17:10] ok, how do i get dolphin to stop handling protocols & get konqueror to handle them? i'm using the network folders panel applet & i don't like dolphin [17:11] !d3lphin | pteague_work (presuming this is KDE 3) [17:11] pteague_work (presuming this is KDE 3): Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. [17:12] rickest, this is gonna be harder my kubuntu is in spanish [17:12] rickest, the boot menu is in english though [17:12] How do I get rid of dolphin and use konqueror as my file browser?

[17:13] Jucato: thanks, i knew it was a setting in konqueror, but couldn't remember which file assoc to change [17:13] ivan_: I don't think I'll be able to help. basically, what you're looking to do is add a section to menu.lst that looks just like an existing section, except "root=" should point somewhere else [17:14] rickest ok, ill fix it later thanks for your help [17:14] ivan_: the "root (hd0,0)" will be different for that section also. [17:15] Can I delete d3lphin completely now without screwing stuff up?

I really just needa new machine. :-/ [19:23] mitsarionas: some sw team [19:23] Thanks again. Peace.... [19:23] likemindead: if it does what you need at a reasonable speed its fine [19:24] likemindead: peace out bro [19:24] likemindead: i say peace loads [19:24] :D [19:24] really? though only the euro matches were on [19:24] Yeah, speed is okay, but there are constant and minor, but annoying flickers accross the screen. [19:25] anyways... could anyone tell me what's the proper/best way to install latest xorg, video drivers and so on on hardy? [19:26] ActionParsnip: YouTube = Flash =/= Java [19:27] Pennycook: why does it moan about java plugins then sometimes [19:28] I've never heard of that before. Are you sure it isn't talking about JavaScript? [19:28] Pennycook: java != javascript? [19:28] No, common mistake though. [19:29] so whats java script? [19:29] I know what java is [19:29] It's a scripting language that is used in lots of web pages. [19:31] so wheres the java bit come in [19:31] surely the name is intelligent in some way === sam_ is now known as boyam [19:32] Something to do with Sun, I think. They changed the name to JavaScript at some point even though it's nothing to do with Java. [19:32] confusing a little [19:33] Mm. But anyway, we're a little off-topic. I'd recommend Wikipedia if you want to learn more about it. [19:34] Pennycook: ok, i removed the link to the plugin and youtube works fine [19:34] Pennycook: im not that bothered, my rig does what its supposed to [19:34] got firefox3 too, not really noticed a difference [19:35] ActionParsnip: javascript is a convention Netscape used to have that became commonly adapted [19:37] well netscape became mozilla [19:37] ActionParsnip: Netscape Navigator was absorbed by AOL. But we become off-topic again. [19:37] were always off topic it seems :) [19:38] are there any FF3 skins except the default? [19:39] hi, can somebody plz help me out with KDE [19:39] ?

[19:40] i cannot enable advanced desktop effects [19:40] how do i do it? [19:41] K menu -> system settings -> desktop [19:41] You'll need to have installed accelerated graphics drivers first though [19:41] i think this is done already [19:41] Then you should be good :) [19:42] how do i check it? because when i last tried to to it... the whole system crashed and i had to reinstal [19:42] :( [19:43] how do i check if i am ready to enable it?

[19:50] ok! i go for it now [19:51] mitsarionas: well, I think you have to force K3b to use the udf file system if you want huge file support [19:52] mitsarionas: no idea man, you got the latest updates? [19:52] i'm almost sure it didn't have that problem some days ago [19:52] yeah [19:52] ok i did it... now what? [19:52] what's my next step [19:52] ? [19:53] Assurbanipal: let me search [19:54] Assurbanipal: sudo 915resolution -l (ell, not eye) [19:55] ok, and now? [19:55] should i restart x?

[20:09] i went to system-desktop effects and then pressed the install buton [20:09] and the previous time you chose standard effects or higher your system crashed?

Link here > http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=6585 [20:52] okay [20:52] Stevenab: hope ithelps :) [20:52] so do i :) dont like to harras here, been trawling the forums to no avail tho [20:52] i'll let you know how it goes :) [20:52] this is the link i gave? i dont know which one to download [20:52] on a mission to get rid of dirteh windows :) [20:52] there is 2 download links, and their both diffrent [20:53] That's what everyone is here for Stevenab :) [20:53] hehe [20:53] ya, but i prefer to find the answer myself on forums, kinda gave in tho :) [20:53] codster, sec. I'll have a look for you. [20:53] Sourccode 1.9automake and .Deb (6.06kubuntu) [20:53] oh, you mean to get rid of winblows [20:53] lol [20:53] its confusing me on which one to get, [20:53] too tru [20:54] windoze vist-duh, [20:54] hehe, had that installed for a whole week before i formatted [20:54] bloated poo that it is [20:54] nothing against windows, i use it often. hasnt been a pain for me like what some say. === draconex is now known as Draconex-Richard [20:55] XP that ism [20:55] codster, As it has an automake link there, I would check adept to see what version is in there. If the same version, get from there otherwise you will need to download the 1.9 version. You will need the 6.06 one for definite though. [20:55] so i need both? [20:55] I generally get on well with xp, but i havnt actually done anything that would require me to use windows, so thought i'd make good use of the resourses of my pc, rather than windows hogging them :) might learn something too ;p [20:55] I'm so excited [20:55] I would guess so. I haven't tried installing this yet. [20:56] ok, bbiab :) [20:56] /pitches tent [20:56] well windows doesnt always hog you can configure it not too. and plus if you get SP3 it really speeds up your machine, i can run windows with just 256Megs of ram, and its still fast with CS2. but this is offtopic :( [20:56] hehe [20:57] FoxIII, how do search for it? i already tried Ksmooth and nothing comes up.. [20:58] codster, I wouldn't think ksmoothdock will be in the repositories. You can search for the automake though. Go into adept and type automake in the search field. [20:58] okay, [21:00] !wireless [21:00] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:01] Has anyone ever see a monitor go Pink befor? just outta the blue? Mine is starting to do this, and i know of 2 people this happend to already.. [21:01] codster, Do you have any speakers close to the monitor? Have you tried a deguazz? [21:01] Just goes straight pink, ruins all the colours in windows not soo much kubuntu, i find if you punch the monitor that it generally fixes this, but i can only take so much punching it is CRT btw. [21:01] yes [21:02] and no [21:02] i dont have speakers/did degauss [21:02] hmm. Anything near that would be causing a magnetic field? Perhaps a mobile? Anything electric? [21:02] lol my knuckles hurt. but there must be a reason why CRT's do this? [21:02] nope [21:02] wait my PC [21:03] thats the way my uncle and friend had theirs, PC tower beside the monitor, maybe its the HDD? [21:03] I thought maybe it was the heat? [21:03] codster, if it's right next to the monitor, then it could be the problem. Move it away from the monitor. I wouldn't say it was the heat. They should be able to deal with that. [21:03] okay [21:03] well i just moved it now, it was bothering me. [21:04] it hasnt happend yet but over long periods of time, (usually when i have my tower on but PC off) it fixes when i run a full screen program thats white background'd [21:04] pc=monitor sorry <--thought would be an oxymoron that i wrote. [21:05] np. Let us know how you get on with that. [21:05] lol, well i have installed automake 1.9 [21:07] Once i install Automake1.9 i can just download the Automake download? in the KDE-look.org link for Ksmoothdock. [21:08] hmm. All: I have internet connection on windoze (obviously. I'm here), but not in kubuntu Hardy. How can I set up my wireless network without being able to download packages? [21:08] codster, I assume you mean that now you have installed automake, you can install ksmoothdock. If that's the case, then yes. [21:08] okay [21:08] just the automake 1.9 link? [21:08] or the debian? [21:09] codster, no. You'll want the kubuntu 6.06 link. [21:09] ohh okay === santiago-php is now known as santiago-ve [21:11] hey all [21:11] any vista skins for FF3? [21:11] hi, how can i fix the volume keys on my laptop (HP Pavillion)? they were originally working when i did a install but i changed my keymaps & they lost their functionality... thanks [21:11] ActionParsnip, have you searched the firefox website? [21:12] FoxIII: indeed, only comes up with FF2 skins which dont work [21:12] Then apart from a google search for the same, I would say not at the current time. [21:12] FoxIII: Ive seen loads of screenshots but no download [21:12] FoxIII: fair point, just wondered if anyone had one [21:12] dimitri: remap your keys dude [21:13] ah, k. That's cool. [21:13] ActionParsnip: how? [21:14] Actionparsnip, i was looking for some Mac themes, but unfortantently they dont have any FF3 add-ons or themes yet :( i almost wanted to go back to FF2 lol, just have to wait... [21:14] dimitri: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=172010 [21:14] codster: yeah, its just a gloss, no biggy [21:14] why is /usr/lib/firefox-3.0/firefox reporting v2.0 in Help -> About? [21:15] codster: I havent noticed any difference tbh but i dont really hammer my browser i guess [21:15] yeah same, [21:15] thanks ActionParsnip [21:15] i hear it only uses 66% less resources then the current browser's like IE/Opera, not sure if that includes FF2? [21:16] codster: check top while running it [21:16] http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=T&ct=uk/1-0&fd=IG&url=http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/18/mozilla_firefox_3_record/&cid=1222777888&ei=TGxZSN_GO4-2xAG_5fW-Dw&usg=AFQjCNFRep1sSOcK4DwNqj9q9nMqIeHUJA [21:17] ^ Firefox 3 downloads hit 7m despite server FAIL - Register [21:17] lol [21:17] WOW [21:18] hai [21:18] is there a KDE equiv to conky? [21:18] any ideas if i should get chucked an error if my monitor does not support xresprobe? [21:20] ActionParsnip, you can use conky in kde [21:20] FoxIII: superkaramba is looking good :) [21:21] FoxIII, it brings me to sourceforge with Kubuntu.deb or Source.tar.gz ? [21:21] i dont think i can run debians in 8.04 it always opens with Ark [21:22] codster, the deb is the package. You only need the source code if you want to compile it yourself. [21:22] uhh, i cant complie [21:22] lol, [21:22] codster, I'm not on kubuntu at the min so I can't check about the deb. Don't worry. Compiling can be tricky. [21:22] so what do i do with the debian? befor with them i could just right click and install it, this one has no option [21:23] anyone know how to find out what program is listening on a port? like port 80? [21:25] how come kubuntu is still so second-rate? I thought mark shuttleworth said he was going to make it a priority [21:25] i'm having trouble installing realtime kernel [21:26] codster, I'll have a look for you, just need to prepare a few things first. [21:26] !kernel [21:26] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [21:26] graft, Not sure on that one, but everything takes time. [21:26] second rate, how? [21:27] it's basically just unmodified KDE [21:27] whereas ubuntu has all sorts of neat hooks built into it [21:27] plus the artwork is terrible [21:27] maybe slightly modified [21:28] yeah graft [21:28] i know what you mean [21:28] for example, in ubuntu i can apparently maintain hardy-proposed repositories just by ticking a box in 'software sources' in preferences [21:28] in kubuntu i must vi /etc/apt/sources.list [21:29] why not use synaptic, graft? [21:29] well look @ the people who use Ubuntu there is thousands [21:29] leftbas: well, i AM using KDE... plus that's not synaptic, that's the GNOME system prefs [21:29] leftbas, In kubuntu there is adept package manager [21:29] graft, you have the same "software sources" with adept [21:29] graft: sorry, meant adept [21:30] Pliskin: have you used adept? it sucks. even the KDE devs say adept sucks [21:30] no, it's just different [21:30] i agree, i rather like it [21:30] Adept? [21:30] i love adept lol [21:30] :D [21:30] if you use to it, you'll love it [21:30] doubtful [21:30] i've tried plenty [21:30] codster +1 [21:30] lol i never knew there was an atlernative [21:30] :D [21:30] i love the filtering capability [21:30] anyway, even if i used adept, it wouldn't have a hook for hardy-proposed, since they never made one for it [21:31] there's used to be...kynaptic, but it's not very mature or well designed [21:31] man i couldnt imagine haveing the user named " [21:31] the" [21:31] shehs, there would be red text everywhere [21:31] graft, of course there is the option "proposed" [21:33] is the rt kernel part of the unsupported repository? [21:34] leftbas, rt? [21:34] FoxIII: real-time [21:34] having trouble installing it, adept complains it's going to break something [21:34] the unsopported is the Back-ports [21:37] Pliskin: but it shows up without unsupported being checked, it just won't install [21:37] hiii .. how do i adjust power settings in kubuntu ??? for example i want to set the computer going to sleep mode after 20 minutes ...... [21:37] is AMD CPU 900Mhz 32bit still i386? [21:38] it is a AMD Duron :spitfire: p4 [21:38] not sure if its i386? [21:38] lakis1982: [21:38] lakis1982, You can get to the power settings in the same place where you change the screensaver. [21:39] lakis1982: system settings [21:39] amsn [21:39] where do i adjust screensaver? [21:39] right-click on the desktop, and select configure desktop [21:40] i am on screensaver but it does not have any power settings [21:40] lakis1982, try leftbas' suggestion. Go to system settings. What version of kde you running? [21:40] he's right, i can't find it either now [21:40] kde 3.5.9 [21:40] leftbas : install what ? [21:41] im in system settings [21:41] Pliskin: the realtime kernel [21:41] lakis1982: it's in the monitor and display settings [21:41] ah, I have no idea, I was thinking you want use the "Proposed" Repo [21:41] i cant find out if my CPU supports or is i386? [21:41] Pliskin: thanks anyway [21:42] i read its an i686 [21:42] im on monitor and siplay settings and then i go to power saving ? [21:42] that would be i386 compatible [21:42] lakis1982: yes [21:42] someone be so kind as to link me that page again, just lost it [21:42] lakis1982, yes. You will be able to control monitor and hard drive power savings. [21:43] in power saving there is only one setting . to switch monitor off after some minutes [21:43] nothing else [21:43] Stevenab, which page? [21:43] having gfx issues [21:43] !nvidia [21:43] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [21:43] resolution and refresh rate etc [21:43] ooh, diff page but ty :) [21:43] Try ubottu's link Stevenab [21:43] sounds like a hibernation setting. if your machine doesn't support it, it might not be an option [21:43] is there anywhere i can get LInux help on the phone? [21:44] okay, how do i enable proposed in adept? [21:44] so should i install something to be able change power settings? [21:44] I need to know if there is anyone that I could call for Linux help [21:44] now theres only about monitor [21:44] Mr_Cheeto: try this link... [21:44] http://webapps.ubuntu.com/marketplace/ [21:44] FoxIII,how do i install that Debian package? [21:45] codster, I'm still trying to install kubuntu atm. I'll be there asap. :/ [21:45] lol [21:45] okay [21:45] threw VM? [21:45] lakis1982: you might try installing kpowersave from adept [21:46] yeah. Haven't had a spare minute to look at setting up wireless on my kubuntu partition. [21:47] hold on [21:47] i love firefox, how does it know what i look for? [21:47] i type in a local band, its already giving me their songs and covers [21:47] :D [21:48] graft: i don't see that option. i didn't know it even existed, but it might be called something else in adept. not sure [21:48] codster, It bases it on database selection and popularity of words. [21:48] leftbas, you should be able to do a search for power saving in adept. [21:49] FoxIII: oh i found the power saving applet, i was referring to enabling 'propsed' in adept. i don't know how to do that [21:49] ok it has many settings but can i put kpowersave settings to exist into system settings ? [21:49] lakis1982: i'm not sure [21:50] looks like it just runs in the system tray [21:50] This is very frustrating. Once I get into kde, I can hopefully help you all! [21:50] lakis1982: but it has all the options you want, just access them by right-clicking the system tray icon, and selecting configure [21:51] lol foxIII, i just want a Macosx theme :D [21:51] leftbas: i'm telling you, it ain't there... kubuntu is just second-rate [21:51] graft: that's a bit of a stretch, just cuz one thing is missing [21:52] if you wanna start a flame war, graft, you've come to the wrong place [21:52] !etiquette [21:52] Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See (in a private message with the bot, /msg ubottu ): !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam, !PM, !English - And most importantly, use common sense... [21:52] leftbas: yeah, i don't want to start a flame war... [21:52] ooh, much better ty :) [21:52] graft: glad to hear it [21:53] no one else have any tips on installing the realtime kernel? [21:54] !customkernel [21:54] last time i started a flamewar, we had to get a new sofa, mum wasnt that impressed [21:54] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [21:54] lol @ codster [21:54] is there a apt-get for pureftpd? [21:55] is that an FTP client? [21:55] bestpvp, have you tried? [21:55] because i need one for my Xbox [21:55] hi [21:55] so i can FTP to my Xbox, from PC [21:55] it's a server [21:55] I know of Filezille, CuteFTP [21:55] ohh then thats not good for me.. [21:55] thanks ubottu, but the realtime kernel is already compiled...i have a problem with a dependancy that i can't figure out [21:55] lol your talking to a bot.. [21:56] What's the dependency problem leftbas ? [21:56] anyone knows how to se gamma for xv output in mplayer/vlc it's too much brighter if compared to x11 output [21:56] sorry, meant that for FoxIII [21:56] ? [21:56] !ftp [21:56] what happened to ubotu? [21:56] FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd [21:57] FoxIII: there seems to be a discrepancy between versions...i want to install 2.6.24-18, but it tries to look for 2.6.24-17, so it gives up [21:57] dotbl0t, perhaps try the vlc website. [21:57] dotbl0t: did you try the advanced interface in vlc? [21:58] leftbas, what kernel version are you running now? [21:58] FoxIII: 2.6.24-19 [21:58] dotbl0t: there is a slider for gamma [21:59] leftbas, So you are downgrading? Are you able to boot into a previous kernel setup? [21:59] yes i tried it [21:59] dotbl0t: you can access it by Ctrl+G [21:59] FoxIII: i was till i deleted them. 2.6.24-19 was working fine, so i deleted 24.12 and 24.16 [21:59] dotbl0t: and it has no effect or what? [22:00] anyway i cannot understand why xv output is too much bright by default both in vlc and mplayer [22:00] compared to x11 output [22:00] that seems to display correct color [22:00] thats strange, indeed [22:01] very very strange [22:01] leftbas, I bet you won't do that again will you? :) I'm afraid that I've reached the extent of my knowledge on kernels. I'm sure someone will be here soon though [22:01] FoxIII: i think i might have figured it out, but the instructions i was following on an ubuntu page didn't work [22:01] that's fine, thanks...but it's not necessary to keep multiple kernel versions laying around, is it? [22:01] FoxIII: isn't it just a waste of space? [22:02] When I upgrade the kernel, I always keep the previous version there. It doesn't take up that much space. [22:02] i was for a while, but like i said, since 19 was working fine, i got rid of 12 and 16 [22:02] yeh... housekeeping [22:02] dotbl0t: are you playing two videos at the same time? [22:02] i keep one previous working kernel until i'm sure the current one is fine [22:02] no no [22:03] but thanks anyway...i think i might have gotten 24.18 installed, so i'm gonna give 'er a reboot to see if i can select it from the grub menu [22:03] ciao for now [22:03] laters [22:03] dotbl0t: you know you can adjust brightness via mplayer, right? [22:04] FoxIII, dont leave [22:04] how do i open a Debian [22:04] yes i know graft [22:04] Not going anywhere codster. Nearly in kubuntu now [22:04] but my question is not about that [22:04] dotbl0t: try playing two videos and see if its the same with the second one [22:04] okay [22:04] lol [22:04] :D [22:04] ok i'll try frauhansen [22:05] I was waiting for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scons/+bug/226783 to be resolved - it now is, but though it says fix committed, http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/scons still lists 0.97? [22:05] Launchpad bug 226783 in scons "Merge scons 0.98.5-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)" [High,Fix released] [22:05] well if i recall, when x11 adjusts video it does it for the entire display, whereas xv does it only for the video window [22:05] err, adjusts brightness [22:06] codster, Do you want to go ahead and try your kernel bit. Just remembered I'm gonna have to update this thing first! [22:07] yeah [22:07] what is a kernel bit? [22:07] codster, sorry. Got a bit confused between you and someone else. [22:07] oh okay, [22:11] ooops the connection was closed [22:12] however if i try to play 2 videos at the same time [22:12] mplayer says that's not able to open the video output [22:12] so i can play only 1 video at time [22:16] OMG kde 4 is like vista :O [22:16] yeah its slow and buggy [22:16] :D [22:17] how do I bring up the k-menu? Meta doesn't work? [22:17] and they might release 7 versions of it.. [22:17] notsure [22:17] codster: it's OK, hasn't crashed yet, and it's fast on my admittedly overpowerd comp. [22:18] lol [22:18] specs? [22:18] but it looks and acts like vista, it's kind of grose. [22:18] vista ain't buggy [22:18] dotbl0t: have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-209986.html [22:19] seem like the same problem dotbl0t [22:19] codster: It's actually a normal comp 2 gigs of ram, 3 gz cpu, and a fast sata hard drive. The graphics are generic nvidia 5200fx, but when put next to my OLPC xo... [22:19] ohh i see. [22:19] not bad. [22:20] but how do I bring up the k-menu with keyboard? [22:20] You could try setting the keymap to use the windoze key perhaps? [22:21] FoxIII: That turned out to be problematic, there is no k-menu shortcut in the keyboard shortcuts window under settings. [22:21] ah. hmm [22:22] They should build a PC sectrictly for Kubuntu or Ubuntu [22:23] Screw the windows K replace it with an Ubuntu Symbol [22:23] key* [22:23] wow i cant spell? [22:23] I'm trying to use this computer to catalogue and back up all my computer data. I was hopping there was already software for making year based scrapbooks that get automatically backed up too. But I might have to write my own... I thought KDE would be a place to start because there are KDE programs like basket... [22:24] codster: not on a windoz keyboard you can't ;) [22:25] thank you frauhansen [22:25] let's take a look [22:25] damn...

[22:28] dotbl0t: i have the page still open, but i don#t see how you can profit from that [22:28] i noticed that very often [22:28] (k)ubuntu seems to freeze for about 30 seconds [22:29] i can still move the mouse pointer [22:29] than it will resume to work normally [22:29] LiveCD? [22:29] lol [22:29] no [22:29] :D [22:30] just before resuming to work [22:30] the hd flashes [22:30] dotbl0t: here is the html -file of the forum =) : http://uploaded.to/?id=leyvci [22:30] thanks frauhansen [22:30] very kind [22:31] i hope it helps [22:31] me too [22:31] (however sorry if my english is bad, i'm italian) [22:31] !it [22:31] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es.

[23:17] FoxIII, its on my Desktop [23:17] how would it know it is there? [23:19] codster, when you are in konsole, type: cd Desktop and then: ls This will bring up a list of what you have on your desktop. Then you can type: dpkg -i whatever.deb [23:19] it says no such file or directory [23:19] okay [23:19] cd ~ [23:19] !konsole [23:19] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.
