| Datalanche | Hey guys, I just installed Kubuntu Hardy and it went great, but after I installed all the updates, I have no sound. My audio controller is coming up in lspci as 'Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller'. Any ideas? | 00:01 |

| genii | !intelhda | 00:01 |
| ubottu | For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 00:01 |
| * genii sips his coffee | 00:02 | |
| genii | Datalanche: Use the latest alsa sources though | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | nice one genii | 00:02 |
| genii | ActionParsnip: I happen to have one of those cards :) | 00:02 |
| Ertain | My drives are not recognizing my audio CDs. I try to mount them but they won't mount. Any ideas? The drives, nor the discs, are bad. btw. | 00:02 |
| Datalanche | Latest alsa sources? | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | genii: do you have to mount audio cds? | 00:04 |
| crash_ | Whats the console command to reconfigure KDE? I managed to break it again. (Not even sure how, this time.) | 00:04 |
| genii | Datalanche: If you read the link it used to give 1.0.14 or so as the version to download and use. But it's up to 1.0.17 or such, you can look http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Download to see which | 00:05 |
| genii | ActionParsnip: Yes | 00:05 |
| genii | Wait | 00:05 |
| genii | ActionParsnip: Actually I'm not sure on that | 00:05 |
| Datalanche | uhhh, heh, this looks kinda.. not fun =/ | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | genii: see :) | 00:05 |
| genii | Datalanche: No pain no gain | 00:06 |
| Datalanche | True dat | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Ertain: try sudo apt-get install kscd | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | !kscd | 00:06 |
| ubottu | Factoid kscd not found | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Ertain: its basically a nice small cd playing app | 00:06 |

| AwesomeGuy_ | I don't see what's so funny about my code | 00:11 |
| AwesomeGuy_ | it's just a program that deletes everything | 00:11 |
| AwesomeGuy_ | it only works if you run it as root though | 00:11 |
| codster | http://paste.ubuntu.com/21268/ | 00:11 |
| codster | please do you find that funny? the kid is 11 mind you wait or 13? | 00:11 |

| codster | yeah but will only effect his machine...woopie | 00:13 |
| timboy | anyone know what's the new latest greatest that ubuntu/kubuntu is working on for 8.10? | 00:13 |
| codster | lol magent to HDD will have a better effect, better chances of going to everyones door and running this befor its "spreads" | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | codster: tell him to use void main (void) too :0 | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ;) | 00:13 |
| genii | crash_: I'd suggest doing some diagnostic to make sure your hd is not going bad . Maybe ultimate boot cd utilities or such | 00:13 |
| AwesomeGuy_ | http://pastebin.org/44593 this ruins your commands, like ls | 00:13 |

| DarkriftX | anyone here really good with regex? | 00:31 |
| chull | DarkriftX, try in #regex | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | chull: like the apps when you minimise them? | 00:31 |
| DarkriftX | ahh, ty | 00:31 |
| chull | ActionParsnip, um no like in the icons for say Xchat and Open office and firefox.. just poofed gone. | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | chull: the k menu? | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | chull: or on desktop?? | 00:32 |
| chull | ActionParsnip, when you open an application it appears in the bar on the bottom .. only atm not there at all | 00:32 |

| ActionParsnip | and add taskbar | 00:34 |

| chull | ActionParsnip, you said what our son said (i phoned him) apparently something else is broken | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | chull: is that the right thing? like when you minimise an app it "vanishes" | 00:36 |
| chull | Craig's icons that indicate that open office is open, and xchat is open.. vanished. | 00:36 |
| chull | he's got launch icons on the top bar.. but no indicators on the bottom bar now | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip | chull: same place, try adding "windows list menu" | 00:38 |
| chull | ActionParsnip, yes you *could* minimize those things to there.. but now he doesn't have the icons to minimize to | 00:38 |
| chull | oh ok | 00:38 |
| darkdelusions | chull: its sound like the taskbar is missing you can right click on the pannel and choose add to panel and readd it | 00:39 |

| dthacker | window_: describe your problem, please | 03:41 |
| window_ | well, when i start up the network works fine, then 10 minutes later it all reverts my network settings to something I can't explain, an IP like 45.61.0.72, it's not related to anything i can find, and so i have to set it back the correct way, then 5 minutes later it reverts, then 2, then 1, then soon i have to reconfigure every second | 03:42 |
| window_ | so...what's after hardy heron? | 03:51 |
| dthacker | intrepid ibex. | 03:51 |
| window_ | ooooooh, classy | 03:51 |
| dthacker | window_: do you have a static address or is it set by DHCP | 03:52 |
| dthacker | window_: wired or wireless | 03:52 |
| window_ | i am supposed to have dhcp as it says in Windows XP, but it seems my network only works when set to manual in Kubuntu | 03:53 |
| window_ | wired | 03:53 |
| myk_robinson | hey. I have APache running on my system, and i use it for Sql-ledger. If i want to play with Joomla locally, where is do i place the files? | 03:53 |
| myk_robinson | i guess the real question is, where is the root folder for localhost? | 03:53 |
| dthacker | myk_robinson: /etc/apache2/sites-available. | 03:54 |
| dthacker | myk_robinson: sorry, that's the config file | 03:54 |
| dthacker | myk_robinson: /var/www/apache2-default/ | 03:55 |
| myk_robinson | if i wanted to try Joomla locally, would i just untar the stuff to /var/www? | 03:55 |
| dthacker | myk_robinson: better ask in #joomla :) or perhaps theirs a joomla package | 03:56 |
| dthacker | window_: are you booted up in kubuntu now? | 03:56 |
| window_ | si si | 03:56 |
| myk_robinson | okay | 03:56 |

| dthacker | window_: is that manually set? | 03:58 |
| window_ | i'm not sure, i'm afraid to open Network Manager for it might start acting up, it hasn't done anything for 30 minutes 0.o | 03:59 |
| doorknob60 | window-: so network manager is mesing up? | 03:59 |
| window_ | ok, when i look at the manager it doesn't say dhcp OR manual in the info pane | 03:59 |
| window_ | it's supposed to say 192.168.1.2 dhcp eth0 enabled device but where I put dhcp it's blank | 04:00 |
| dthacker | window_: what range of addresses does your dhcp server hand out. For example, mine will assign an address between 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.119 | 04:02 |
| window_ | 0.o darn, iwould have to call to find out but i believe somewhere around 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.18, as that is the highest IP ever appinned to a device | 04:03 |
| dthacker | afk 5 mins.... | 04:04 |
| flaccid | window_: its possible that your dhcp server is not working with the kubuntu client. you can kill all the dhclient processes then run one manual like sudo dhclient eth0 so you can see what happens when it tries to get dhcp renew | 04:04 |
| window_ | No DHCP offers recieve | 04:05 |
| window_ | recieved* | 04:05 |
| flaccid | contact the administrator of your dhcp server | 04:06 |
| window_ | oh u better believe i will | 04:06 |
| flaccid | i've seen this quite a few times | 04:06 |
| flaccid | its like ms dhcp discriminates heh | 04:06 |
| genii | or sudo dhclient -r etho;sudo dhclient -r eth0 | 04:06 |

| enterusername | Sorry, does anyone have any ideas about mjy problem? | 04:24 |
| flaccid | titanix88: go for it :) | 04:26 |
| titanix88 | i live in a versity resident and the ISP made a volunteer group to maintain their network. But i don't think they are going to understand my point on it. | 04:26 |
| flaccid | interesting | 04:26 |
| flaccid | enterusername: ubuntu version? | 04:26 |
| EightiesK | i read !audio and i still have no sound. | 04:26 |
| enterusername | 8.04 | 04:27 |
| flaccid | enterusername: why are you using wlassistant | 04:27 |
| genii | enterusername: rm ~/.kde/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc then logout of kde and back in again | 04:28 |
| enterusername | because im using kde 3.5 dont know any other good utility. flaccid what would suggest? | 04:28 |
| flaccid | genii: remind me the history of wlassistant? did that become knetworkmanager? | 04:28 |
| genii | flaccid: Heh, no. I wrote the instructions earlier before I realised he wasn't using knetworkmanager | 04:29 |
| enterusername | lol | 04:29 |
| enterusername | umm ok.. well again what should i be using knetworkmanager doesnt have wpa | 04:30 |
| flaccid | np | 04:30 |
| flaccid | use knetworkmanager enterusername :) | 04:30 |
| flaccid | it does support wpa yes | 04:30 |
| flaccid | im using it atm :) | 04:30 |
| enterusername | really? ok ill see if it installs.. how do i get to the settings? | 04:30 |
| flaccid | enterusername: should be installed, just run knetworkmanager and goto the system tray icon | 04:31 |
| flaccid | right click it and select your network | 04:31 |
| genii | enterusername: You need package wpasupplicant installed but it will work with wpa | 04:31 |
| enterusername | ok but is there anyway to reset wlassistant | 04:31 |
| flaccid | enterusername: there would be, but i can't find doco on what config file it uses which is probably in your ~/ somewhere | 04:32 |
| genii | enterusername: If some file exists in the directory of ~/.kde/share/config with the name wlassistant someplace in there, delete it. | 04:34 |
| enterusername | thans | 04:35 |
| enterusername | ya it was under /root | 04:36 |
| flaccid | ouch, that means you ran it under root which is not what you do.. | 04:36 |
| enterusername | thats why I was missing it.. I checked everywhere forgot it sudoed!!! So it placed it /root | 04:36 |
| enterusername | Well.. It runs ksudo automatically :) | 04:36 |
| flaccid | you don't sudo wlassistant or knetworkmanager :) | 04:36 |
| flaccid | oh | 04:36 |
| enterusername | i cant get knetworkmanager to work though... i tried..that will be for antoher time | 04:36 |
| flaccid | thats not great design on their behalf | 04:37 |
| flaccid | can explain what happens ? | 04:37 |
| enterusername | Well i'll come back and explain at the moment, but what happens is I run it and all that gets back is a command prompt | 04:37 |
| flaccid | thats because its a system tray icon? | 04:38 |
| enterusername | What am i looking for what pic? | 04:38 |
| flaccid | pic? | 04:38 |
| enterusername | Oh i see it. IT shows all the tabs as greyed out | 04:38 |
| flaccid | tabs? | 04:39 |
| * flaccid is more confused than the pope | 04:39 | |
| genii | enterusername: For knetworkmanager to work with wpa, as I said earlier you need also with it the package called wpasupplicant | 04:39 |
| darkdelusions | isnt WPA sup installed automagically now | 04:40 |
| flaccid | !info wpasupplicant | 04:40 |
| ubottu | wpasupplicant (source: wpasupplicant): Client support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i). In component main, is important. Version 0.6.0+0.5.8-0ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 239 kB, installed size 628 kB | 04:40 |

All went well with the exception of KDE4 foob'ing my desktop (i don't care right now), and the big one, damn near all text boxes in Firefox being white text on white background. I've tried changing all sorts of colors in KDE as well as in Firefox to no avail. It's really, really difficult having to highlight everything just to see | 06:21 |

| eagles0513875 | This backtrace appears to be of no use. | 08:41 |
| eagles0513875 | This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash. | 08:41 |
| eagles0513875 | what is that supposed to mean | 08:41 |
| Jucato | eagles0513875: it means that there are no debugging symbols installed | 08:42 |
| Jucato | look for a related/associated -dbg package for what you need | 08:42 |
| eagles0513875 | ok | 08:42 |
| eagles0513875 | darn gmail and java script | 08:43 |
| eagles0513875 | question in regards to linux not having any file fragmenttation how is that possible. is it because of the inodes. | 08:46 |
| Jucato | !defrag | eagles0513875 | 08:46 |
| ubottu | eagles0513875: defrag is <Reply> The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 08:46 |
| Jucato | it's not Linux per se, but the filesystem used | 08:47 |
| eagles0513875 | Jucato: gotcha thanks | 08:47 |
| harmental | hey guys..after a dist-upgrade my kernel was upgraded to 2.6.24-19...howver it doesnt appear on the menu.lst after booting....any ideas??? | 08:48 |
| eagles0513875 | ActionParsnip: did the java work for ya | 08:52 |
| ActionParsnip | no, it crashed my browser when an applet was loaded | 08:52 |
| ActionParsnip | but i thought i needed it for youtube etc | 08:52 |
| ActionParsnip | but it needs javascript which was different and already supported, so I sacked it off | 08:52 |
| eagles0513875 | interesting cuz it never did that for me also install the flashplugin-nonfree and no issues there | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | im using the adobe one through nspluginwrapper | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | works fine | 08:53 |
| eagles0513875 | u mean the flashplugin-nonfree | 08:53 |
| eagles0513875 | *you | 08:54 |
| eagles0513875 | when i installed it it also installed the nspluginwrapper | 08:54 |
| ActionParsnip | yeah it needs that as its a 32bit plugin | 08:54 |
| harmental | anyone? please?? | 08:54 |
| ActionParsnip | i thought i could use it with java to, no dice | 08:54 |
| ActionParsnip | just waiting for skins for FF3 now :) | 08:55 |
| frogonwheels | harmental: did you try update-grub | 08:55 |
| eagles0513875 | !patience | harmental | 08:55 |
| ubottu | harmental: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 08:55 |
| harmental | frogonwheels: ill try that..thx! | 08:55 |
| frogonwheels | harmental: having said that, we all get frustrated at times. | 08:56 |
| ActionParsnip | eagles0513875: do you know where superkaramba stores its skins etc. I have on and I wanna modify it a bit. All the walkthroughs say |/.superkaramba but there is so little in there and doesnt look intelligent to whats on screen | 08:56 |
| eagles0513875 | ActionParsnip: no i dont havent messed around with it in kde3 im curious to find out where it is in kde4 and if the location would be the same | 08:56 |
| eagles0513875 | !superkaramba | 08:57 |
| ubottu | superkaramba is an application that gives you interactive eye-candy on your desktop. To get themes for it, head over to http://kde-look.org | 08:57 |
| harmental | frogonwheels: no change at all...2.6.24-16 remains the newest kernel.... | 08:57 |
| harmental | i dont get it... | 08:57 |
| eagles0513875 | i love the way they call the widgets/gadets eye candy lol | 08:57 |
| ActionParsnip | i just want a sys monitor really | 08:58 |
| eagles0513875 | same here | 08:58 |
| eagles0513875 | come to think bout it | 08:58 |
| frogonwheels | harmental: erm force reinstall it? (Shift L in aptitude I think ) | 08:58 |
| eagles0513875 | ActionParsnip: they call it eye candy then when you go to lad superkaramba they call them widgets | 09:00 |
| eagles0513875 | brb need to restart my x since kicker crashed on me earlier | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | well Ive noticed that some of the superkaramba things monitor stuff I dont have, like file systems etc | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip | so I need to tweak it a little | 09:02 |
| frogonwheels | eagles0513875: you know you can just restart it... | 09:02 |
| eagles0513875 | frogonwheels: ctrl + alt + backspace | 09:02 |
| flaccid | hard killing x is bad :p | 09:02 |
| eagles0513875 | frogonwheels: i need to do a hard reset of x cuz when kicker crashed seems like it also somehow messed up my audio in firefox | 09:03 |
| eagles0513875 | flaccid: whats so bad about it | 09:03 |
| * ActionParsnip listens too | 09:03 | |
| flaccid | it sends the kill signal and not sighup | 09:03 |
| frogonwheels | I had a great situation where the kde thing that logs you out wouldn't accept dbus commands. | 09:03 |
| ActionParsnip | ahh leaky ram | 09:03 |
| flaccid | doesn't give programs a chance to save their configs | 09:03 |
| eagles0513875 | ActionParsnip: me leaky ram | 09:03 |
| frogonwheels | I was using c-a-backspace for a month or so as my only way out ;) | 09:03 |
| flaccid | thus why they say 'loose unsaved'.. | 09:03 |
| eagles0513875 | flaccid: whats the best way to do restart x then | 09:04 |
| eagles0513875 | is it /etc/init.d/xorg restart | 09:04 |
| flaccid | logout to kdm and then select restart X from the drop down | 09:04 |
| eagles0513875 | ok | 09:04 |
| eagles0513875 | brb | 09:04 |
| flaccid | or after logging out to kdm ie. no sessions, sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart from another tty | 09:04 |
| frogonwheels | eagles0513875: does c-a-delete work? | 09:04 |
| flaccid | frogonwheels: why was it your only way out? | 09:05 |
| eagles0513875 | frogonwheels: lol i dont need to reboot my whole system tyvm | 09:05 |
| frogonwheels | flaccid: ermm.. in kdm .. options restart xserver | 09:05 |
| flaccid | frogonwheels: thats the one | 09:05 |
| eagles0513875 | flaccid: couldnt i just do that command while logged in and restart through cli here | 09:05 |
| frogonwheels | flaccid: how else do you get out if the.. ah that's right.. ksmserver won't respond to events? | 09:05 |
| flaccid | eagles0513875: you could, but its not the same | 09:05 |
| flaccid | they made logout for a reason | 09:06 |
| frogonwheels | flaccid: the logout buttons in kdm all send a dbus message to ksmserver - (session management server) that does the actual action. | 09:06 |
| frogonwheels | which is rather neat - but not very useful if ksmserver isn't responding. ;) | 09:07 |
| flaccid | frogonwheels: yes, which is far different to sending the kill 9 signal to all processes | 09:07 |
| flaccid | frogonwheels: well there is a lot of issues with ksmserver atm and it dies on the sighup for me but it still finishes logging out | 09:07 |
| * frogonwheels wishes windoze had a c-a-backspace sometimes... or even xkill. | 09:07 | |
| flaccid | this is kde4 however for me, not kde3 | 09:08 |
| frogonwheels | flaccid: yeah - it was kde4 | 09:08 |
| flaccid | frogonwheels: if you have problems with kde session manager in kde3, you should report a bug | 09:08 |
| flaccid | ah this kde3 support channel.. | 09:08 |
| flaccid | np | 09:08 |
| frogonwheels | flaccid: consider that as an anecdote rather than a problem i need fixed ;) | 09:09 |
| eagles0513875 | that didnt work for me | 09:09 |
| flaccid | all problems need fixing | 09:09 |
| flaccid | bbs | 09:09 |
| eagles0513875 | kdm never restarted i had to reboot my entire system | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | i find kde4 a bit twitchy | 09:09 |
| eagles0513875 | same here | 09:10 |
| frogonwheels | ActionParsnip: ack. exciting, promising - but still a bit twitchy | 09:10 |
| eagles0513875 | i 2nd that | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | i'll install it when my updater does it while I sleep :) | 09:10 |
| eagles0513875 | lol | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip | auto updates run at 6am GMT | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip | just as I wake up for work | 09:12 |

| noaXess | can someone of you, that have also firefox-3 installed check the following.. i have a problem if i click on a checkbox or radiobutton in a website, that the checkbox or the radiobutton won't be chekced correctly, see movie on http://www.wmx.ch/win-soft/download/firefox-3_radiobutton.avi | 09:13 |
| ubuntu | hello world | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | noaXess: I wouldnt sweat it dude | 09:15 |
| noaXess | ActionParsnip: ?? | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | noaXess: its just a display glitch really, report it to mozilla inc as a bug | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | noaXess: its a small glitch with the display as far as I can see, no massive issue | 09:16 |
| noaXess | ActionParsnip: thats why i as her first.. i it is only a problem of my installation, then i won't report it to mozilla | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | noaXess: cant you go on the website and do it manually? | 09:17 |
| noaXess | ActionParsnip: then you have the same problem? | 09:17 |
| noaXess | ' | 09:17 |
| noaXess | ? | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | noaXess: mines ok, except the skin doesnt fit my environment but i can wait | 09:17 |
| harmental | frogonwheels: reinstalling the kernel didnt solve the problem....whats weird is the there is no vmlinuz-2.6.24-19 in the boot folder.... | 09:18 |
| noaXess | ActionParsnip: then you have enabled the standard theme? | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | yes, Its all I can find | 09:18 |
| * flaccid uses the new Opera 9.50 which kills fx3 | 09:19 | |
| noaXess | ActionParsnip: i have also https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7379 | 09:19 |
| noaXess | the look and feel is much better then in standard theme | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | noaXess: i'll give it a go | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | noaXess: do you use it? | 09:20 |
| === pascalFR is now known as PascalFR | ||
| noaXess | ActionParsnip: jep | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | noaXess: does you error happen in the normal theme? | 09:21 |
| noaXess | yes too ;) | 09:21 |
| flaccid | this is the best fx theme imo, which needs porting to fx3: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/72 | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | they need to section out ff3 themes from the rest | 09:22 |
| flaccid | and make it as fast as opera :p | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | opera is tasty :) | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | firefox needs speeddial | 09:23 |
| flaccid | hehe | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | makes life sooo much easier | 09:24 |
| flaccid | well 'Firefox has security,...' quote on firefox website and after fx3 was launched they found a major vuln lol | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: yeah I saw that too | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | nice how its picked up within a day | 09:24 |
| flaccid | also nice how you can gain control of someones computer | 09:26 |
| flaccid | one advantage of opera is that its Qt and the download manager works, where is it doesn't in firefox | 09:26 |
| flaccid | ActionParsnip: problem is : "In addition to Firefox 3.0, the security flaw also affects previous versions of Firefox 2.0x." which means its been there for a long time | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | oh dear | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | :( | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: sudo apt-get install opera (?) | 09:28 |
| flaccid | i already use opera, including for 14 mail accounts :) | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | is opera in the repos | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !opera | 09:28 |
| ubottu | opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 09:28 |
| flaccid | yeah only 9.27 but i think | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | cool | 09:29 |
| flaccid | actually this vuln with fx3 looks more like hype | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | i'll get it on tonight, im not up for ff3 security hole | 09:29 |
| flaccid | the POC is unreleased | 09:30 |
| flaccid | this article has a couple of flaws really: http://www.crn.com/security/208700510 | 09:30 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: I thought it was official release? | 09:30 |
| connor | help installing ubuntu? | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | connor: in what way? | 09:32 |
| flaccid | ActionParsnip: official release of what and from who sorry? | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | connor: please be as specific as you can | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: FF3 | 09:32 |
| connor | I have linux mint installed, but i want ubuntu installed also | 09:32 |
| connor | is a tri boot of xp, mint, and ubuntu possible? | 09:32 |
| flaccid | ActionParsnip: i dont' understand. the proof of concept for the vuln is not released | 09:33 |
| connor | And if so, do i resize my ext3 partition? | 09:33 |
| flaccid | !installation | connor | 09:33 |
| ubottu | connor: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 09:33 |
| flaccid | yeah connor just use grub | 09:33 |
| connor | so uh, for mint AND ubuntu, what would i make for a good size | 09:33 |
| connor | 30 gigs for ubuntu? | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | connor: you can have 400 OSes if you want, all will take space | 09:33 |
| connor | 20-25? | 09:33 |
| connor | but wait, if i already have mint installed, will i have to make ubuntu a bit bigger | 09:34 |
| connor | cuz linux is ext3 | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip | connor: depends on your needs, for a gaming ubuntu, you'll need more, for a simple web browser / chatting you need less | 09:34 |
| flaccid | you can also read the requirements in the doco above | 09:34 |
| connor | wouldnt mint and ubuntu both share the ext3 partition? | 09:34 |
| flaccid | !requirements | 09:34 |
| ubottu | Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip | connor: there is no umbrella size for the partition size as needs define the space | 09:34 |
| connor | wouldnt mint and ubuntu both share the ext3 partition? | 09:34 |
| flaccid | connor: no. separate parts | 09:35 |
| connor | oh | 09:35 |
| connor | thanks | 09:35 |
| flaccid | thats what you should do | 09:35 |
| connor | An error occurred while writing the changes to the storage devices. The resize operation has been aborted | 09:36 |
| flaccid | thats unfortunate | 09:36 |
| connor | what do i do? | 09:36 |
| connor | manual install? | 09:36 |
| flaccid | what said that? | 09:36 |
| connor | the partitioner | 09:36 |
| connor | gave me that error | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | connor: did you run the resizer as kdesudo ? | 09:37 |
| connor | i just ran the install icon that was on the desktop | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ok | 09:37 |
| connor | how would i run it as kdesudo? | 09:37 |
| flaccid | connor: try kdesudo qtparted and do it from there | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | i gotta do some stuff dude, servers kicking off :( | 09:37 |
| connor | what? | 09:37 |
| flaccid | you might get the same response | 09:37 |
| connor | i just want to install | 09:38 |
| connor | could you help with a manual install? | 09:38 |
| flaccid | i just want world pearce :) | 09:38 |
| flaccid | peace even | 09:38 |
| flaccid | what is a manual install? | 09:38 |
| connor | could you help with a manual install real quick | 09:38 |
| connor | i did it on mint earlier for a friend | 09:38 |
| connor | but someone helped me | 09:38 |
| connor | =/ | 09:38 |
| flaccid | this is not mint | 09:38 |
| connor | i know | 09:38 |
| flaccid | and how is it going to resize the partitions? | 09:38 |
| connor | i already have it sized on manual | 09:39 |
| flaccid | i gave you the command to do that manually in a GUI.. | 09:39 |
| flaccid | sized on manual? | 09:39 |
| connor | im in normal ubuntu | 09:39 |
| flaccid | normal ubuntu? | 09:39 |
| connor | would it be sudo qtparted | 09:39 |
| flaccid | [18:37] <flaccid> connor: try kdesudo qtparted and do it from there | 09:39 |
| flaccid | you do not use sudo with gui applications | 09:40 |
| connor | sudo apt-get install qtparted did nothing | 09:41 |

| === milian_ is now known as milian | ||
| connor | i just put universe? | 09:45 |
| flaccid | nope | 09:45 |
| connor | k | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | connor: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ | 09:46 |
| curuxz | anyone got any ideas to help me please? | 09:46 |
| connor | all i need is the repository name seriously | 09:46 |
| flaccid | connor: read for once: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#head-5bbef89639d9a7d93fe38f6356dc17847d373096 | 09:46 |
| flaccid | connor: and because you wanna do it from command line: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine#head-e1a24b1b2037f68b5a95f54388582b58ea4c9bd0 | 09:47 |
| connor | that didn't help | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | curuxz: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/add-a-user-on-ubuntu-server/ | 09:47 |
| flaccid | connor: it tells you exactly the commands you want. you failed to read | 09:47 |
| connor | the one for universe | 09:48 |
| connor | i dont see it | 09:48 |
| curuxz | thanks parsnip, butting adding is not the problem, its the new accounts are screwed up before i have done anything to em | 09:48 |
| curuxz | i dont know if there is a bug or something in kde atm? | 09:48 |
| curuxz | (3.5 that is) | 09:48 |
| flaccid | [18:47] <flaccid> connor: and because you wanna do it from command line: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine#head-e1a24b1b2037f68b5a95f54388582b58ea4c9bd0 | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | connor: that is by far the simplest walkthrough Ive EVER seen, screenshots and everything | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | curuxz: what happens if you log in as a newly created user? | 09:49 |
| flaccid | and the command line equivalent | 09:49 |
| flaccid | curuxz: i've seent that kind of behaviour before, i guess it could be a bug | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: that was painful | 09:49 |
| mefisto__ | is there a way to get kpdf to scale a pdf down to actual page size when printing? I have a pdf that is way bigger than a normal page | 09:50 |
| curuxz | loging as a new user works fine, but their home folder is blank, and the desktop is full of the root directories, like var, etc, home, | 09:50 |
| curuxz | so its as if it reads the / folder as being the desktop folder | 09:50 |
| flaccid | curuxz: also in ubuntu adduser by default in shell won't add home folder or anything which is why the gui is recommended unless you know the switches for newuser to use or do post-setup of the home folder etc. | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | curuxz: when you run addusr are you setting the home directory? | 09:50 |
| frogonwheels | curuxz: what's the home diretory in the /etc/passwd ? | 09:50 |
| flaccid | ActionParsnip: what was sorry? | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: connor was painful | 09:51 |
| flaccid | oh yeah lol | 09:51 |
| curuxz | yeah im setting the home folder as /home/USERNAME | 09:51 |
| flaccid | and so were the not so short URIs :) | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | curuxz: do you set it when its initially made? check the commands in the link | 09:51 |
| frogonwheels | curuxz: you mean editing /etc/passwd? | 09:51 |
| curuxz | but...it makes the folder fine, it just does not have the normal subfolders like Desktop | 09:51 |
| flaccid | curuxz: i would submit a bug | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | frogonwheels: the desktop has all the folders in / for new users | 09:52 |
| frogonwheels | yeah get that. | 09:52 |
| flaccid | curuxz: how are you setting the home folder, how are you doing this? | 09:52 |
| frogonwheels | obviously there's a bug with the wizard somewhere | 09:52 |
| frogonwheels | curuxz: tryy using adduser ? | 09:52 |
| flaccid | adduser doesn't even create the home folder by default | 09:52 |
| curuxz | yeah tried add user, tried using kusers and tried through the sytem control center | 09:52 |
| curuxz | all resulted in the same way | 09:53 |
| flaccid | submit a bug | 09:53 |
| curuxz | kk :( | 09:53 |
| curuxz | thanks anyway guys | 09:53 |
| frogonwheels | curuxz: when you do cd ~username/ does it go tho the correct directory? | 09:53 |
| curuxz | yeah | 09:53 |
| flaccid | np. i've seen kuser and control center create new users fine with home folder and desktop but the showing / contents on desktop could be a bug or intentional if ~/Desktop doesn't exist. no real idea but | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | curuxz: and how about cd ~/; clear; pwd | 09:54 |
| frogonwheels | ok. have nfi where to change the 'Desktop' folder - possibly you could troll the .kde/ files | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | curuxz: does it say /home/username | 09:54 |
| curuxz | yeah | 09:54 |
| flaccid | wouldn't cd ~username/ do cd /home/usernameusername/ | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | curuxz: and from there whats the output of file ./Desktop | 09:55 |
| frogonwheels | flaccid: no - it's for a specified username... | 09:55 |
| frogonwheels | flaccid: ~/ is shortcut for the current user. | 09:55 |
| flaccid | i didn't know you could do that | 09:55 |
| flaccid | thats cool | 09:55 |
| curuxz | one sec ill get it | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | yeah flaccid, it makes life easier | 09:55 |
| flaccid | good for root shells | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | ive aliased cd ~/;clear; ls as 'home' | 09:56 |
| mefisto__ | is there a way to get kpdf to scale a pdf down to actual page size when printing? I have a pdf that is way bigger than a normal page | 09:57 |
| curuxz | ok says no such folder when i put in ./Desktop | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | curuxz: thats why then | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | curuxz: mkdir ~/Desktop | 09:59 |
| curuxz | so why did the account not get generated correctly? | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | curuxz: no idea bro | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | curuxz: just dont delte stuff off your desktop | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | ;) | 09:59 |
| flaccid | wouldnt be perms to be able to | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: just making sure its not even attempted | 10:01 |
| flaccid | ah i assumed you already created the ~/Desktop folder | 10:01 |
| flaccid | hehe | 10:01 |
| curuxz | sorry just testing it | 10:02 |
| curuxz | :) | 10:02 |
| flaccid | curuxz: if after creating the desktop folder and then logging out and back in, you still get the / contents then please file a bug. the user i saw had ~/Desktop | 10:02 |
| curuxz | okies, im just logging into my new user (using a nx shell to do it while im still logged in) | 10:02 |
| curuxz | yep :( still got the root on the desktop | 10:04 |
| flaccid | interesting because the user i saw it with was using NX and i saw it through that. um that wasn't you was it? | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: how can you find out where the desktop is mapped to for the user?? | 10:04 |
| flaccid | mapped? | 10:04 |
| flaccid | i think desktop is always $HOME/Desktop afaik | 10:04 |
| curuxz | nope this is the first time i have mentioned this! :) | 10:05 |
| flaccid | np curuxz and have you viewed with display 0 and not NX ? | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: yeah, the folder containing the desktop items must be referenced in some way to say "use this folder to store desktop gumf: <folder>" | 10:05 |
| curuxz | not yet....worth a shot | 10:05 |
| flaccid | ActionParsnip: not sure what you mean | 10:05 |
| curuxz | ok ill brb i have to close all this to look dont i :) | 10:05 |
| flaccid | ok | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: the standard is ~/Desktop but im fairly sure its movable, so you could modify a file some place so the folder is elsewhere (and not a symlink) | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | like a config file for the user stating where all its stuff is | 10:06 |
| flaccid | hmm i'd be curious to know if thats the case. i guess that would have to be in freedesktop standard somewhere.. | 10:06 |
| Olgem | How do I get knode for KDE PIM? It seems to be existent in the repositories but I'm unable to download it through apt. | 10:07 |
| flaccid | mind you in kde4 its all configurable via FolderView | 10:07 |
| curuxz | ok back :) | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | good? | 10:08 |
| curuxz | the account was 100% fine in normal login | 10:08 |
| curuxz | must be an NX issue :( | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | curuxz: well its narrowed it down | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | :D | 10:08 |
| curuxz | thanks :d | 10:08 |
| curuxz | still does not solve the issue for me tho since i wanted to use nx! it was so someone else could use my linux machine in my office | 10:08 |
| flaccid | lol that was coincidence.. | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | whats NX anyhoo? | 10:09 |
| curuxz | yeah guess it explains why that other guy you met had the same problem! ;) | 10:09 |
| flaccid | well it doesn't affect the use of NX its just unaesthetic | 10:09 |
| curuxz | NX is like VNC, but much much faster and better | 10:09 |
| flaccid | yeah that dude didn't mind so much heh | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | ah ok | 10:09 |
| curuxz | well unfortunately it does, since its giving them root access | 10:10 |
| rockyrock | hi guys | 10:10 |
| rockyrock | I want a help | 10:10 |
| curuxz | and i really really dont want them having that kinda view of the system | 10:10 |
| flaccid | curuxz: how so? | 10:10 |
| rockyrock | Does any USB external Dialup modem work on Ubuntu? | 10:10 |
| curuxz | well it allows them to enter my home folder without passwords | 10:10 |
| flaccid | thats normal | 10:10 |
| curuxz | so, not that i think they would, they can stomp around the whole system | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | curuxz: is NX secure (VNC is not) | 10:10 |
| curuxz | they can get on the windows drive, which is set only to be allowed by my user | 10:11 |
| flaccid | curuxz: its normal to be able to do that | 10:11 |
| rockyrock | hello!!! anybody? | 10:11 |
| curuxz | oh i know NX is secure :D, but that still means the person who i only want to allow to use my computer not my files has full access | 10:11 |
| flaccid | you have to chmod 770 as its 775 by default... | 10:11 |
| curuxz | when i have run it in the past they have been separated (tho admitadly that was freeNX not nxserver) | 10:11 |
| flaccid | curuxz: and i doubt that NX has changed perms or given root at all to users. you can also hide the desktop icons for the aesthetics | 10:11 |
| flaccid | curuxz: like i said just change the perms on the /home/user folders... | 10:12 |
| curuxz | wont a chmod 770 /home/myname -R screw things up? | 10:12 |
| curuxz | like with all the session files | 10:12 |
| flaccid | you don't need to do -R .. | 10:12 |
| eagles0513875 | ActionParsnip: any ideas as how to get flash to work cuz i ened a flash plugin to get into this game chat room and it wont work and i have it installed | 10:12 |
| curuxz | oh just the master | 10:12 |
| flaccid | curuxz: and it wouldn't anyway | 10:13 |
| curuxz | hmm ok ill give it a shot thanks :) | 10:13 |
| flaccid | np | 10:13 |
| curuxz | ah perfect! :D that will keep em out :d | 10:14 |
| curuxz | i like to keep my machine secure | 10:14 |
| curuxz | thanks for the help guys! :D....still duno why nx has this new bug oh well | 10:14 |
| flaccid | hehe np | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | eagles0513875: I used this bro: http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000258.cfm | 10:15 |
| eagles0513875 | ActionParsnip: i have flash installed and it keepss wanting to download a bin file | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | eagles0513875: id uninstall what you got | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | eagles0513875: i just followed that and it was the shizzle | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | :D | 10:17 |
| eagles0513875 | ActionParsnip: ok lol | 10:17 |
| flaccid | thats interesting ActionParsnip | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: sup? | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | god dsview is slloooooow | 10:20 |
| flaccid | oh just the flash article. i did some recent research and the success rate and miriad of problems with flash is amazing | 10:20 |
| flaccid | dsview? | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: its a remote viewer for IBM servers, like drac for dell but crap | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: i think ffox should come with flash already bundled | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: makes it easier for all | 10:21 |
| flaccid | well the problems are actually more to do with flash itself and there is the 64bit debarcle... | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | indeed | 10:22 |
| flaccid | java is worse atm with firefox | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | oh absolutely | 10:22 |
| flaccid | oh it just frustrates me to no end sir | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: hows java with opera under Linux? | 10:22 |
| flaccid | perfect | 10:22 |
| flaccid | lol | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: more than compiz ;) | 10:22 |
| flaccid | in this case the loser appears to be firefox and not sun.. | 10:22 |
| frybye | hi - anybody know how to get thunderbird to direct html- links in email correctly to the firfox?? | 10:23 |
| flaccid | java is good in opera, but flash is unreliable and bad performance and then overflows to eat up all your cpu.. | 10:23 |
| flaccid | frybye: maybe try other channels that are related like #mozilla and #ubuntu | 10:24 |
| acemoo | flaccid: flash is being pretty reliable and good performance here with opera 9.5 | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | frybye: set your browser up in thunderbird | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: flash is a major plugin for me due to hammering youtube when im bored | 10:25 |
| frybye | action - easily said...? | 10:26 |
| flaccid | acemoo: which opera and flash versions? i mean it loads reliably but then you compare the performance, however this may be my fglrx driver possibly | 10:26 |
| flaccid | yep same | 10:26 |
| acemoo | flaccid: opera 9.5, not sure bout the flash version cant check atm not at home, before i had like when u open flahs in multiple tabs it crashes and was just slower as on firefox, but now with opera 9.5 it seems to be working pretty good | 10:28 |
| flaccid | i've been using 9.5 since it was in snapshot and have always had these problems | 10:29 |
| frybye | ActionParsnip: I am asking in #firefox - perhaps somebody there has an answer... | 10:29 |
| dbglt | opera (on linux) doesn't play too nicely with flash | 10:29 |
| flaccid | yep and the more tabs with flash the more it overflows until you have to kill it! | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | frybye: its a config for thunderbird dude, let me websearch | 10:29 |
| flaccid | somebody opening lots of redtube tabs | 10:30 |
| dbglt | redtube? | 10:30 |
| frybye | need to change a config file you mean? In the menus I find nothing...? | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | frybye: http://www.zulustips.com/2007/03/28/forcing-thunderbird-to-open-links-in-firefox.html | 10:30 |
| frybye | thanks action - you are a star.. heheh | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | frybye: your google skills suck | 10:31 |
| flaccid | dbglt: its a site that does videos in flash as well | 10:31 |
| dbglt | flaccid: ah | 10:31 |
| dbglt | opera is best when you confine it to one instance of flash | 10:31 |
| dbglt | I think it's the way the new flash player works... the old one used to be fine with opera :D | 10:31 |
| flaccid | it was decent at one point yes i agree | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | its weird how 64bit plugind havent been developed despite 64bit architecture being so widespread now | 10:33 |
| flaccid | yeah i think that if the hardware is available and in the mainstream market the users shouldn't have to then find out the support is half-baked | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | well how long has 64bitness being available to the average joe | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | like 8 years or so now | 10:35 |
| flaccid | yep it was hype and still continues to just be hype jumping up here and there | 10:36 |
| flaccid | because its not just flash thats the issue | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | true | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | but you can see my point | 10:36 |
| flaccid | damn straight | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | plus Ubuntu is supposed to "just work" haha | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | should be "just works..if you use i386" | 10:42 |
| engineer | 64bit ftw | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | well yeah but browser plugins are a beeatch | 10:43 |
| engineer | reckon so | 10:43 |
| engineer | not ubuntu's fault though | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | indeed | 10:44 |
| engineer | anyways | 10:44 |
| engineer | if firefox had a windows 64bit official build | 10:44 |
| engineer | it would put pressure on adobe to make a flash 64bit build | 10:44 |
| noaXess | my printer status trayicon still there, after succsesfully printing.. i need to manualy refresh the job queue, then the tray icon will be closed | 10:45 |
| voicu | hi, I'm using Kubuntu 8.04 and it works fine but when I log out I get a blank screen and the keyboard doesn't work. I tried CTRL+ALT+F1 and stuff but nothing. The power button on the case works though and the computer shuts down cleanly when i press it | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | noaXess: just websearching | 10:49 |
| flaccid | voicu: driver? | 10:50 |
| engineer | voicu check your graphics driver in you xorg.conf | 10:50 |
| flaccid | there are a lot of bugs exactly like this atm. i suffer from it nearly every day still :( | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | noaXess: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=382746 | 10:51 |
| voicu | flaccid: fglrx on a radeon 9600SE. The acceleration works fine, I even played wow and others | 10:51 |
| flaccid | im on the same thing | 10:51 |
| flaccid | you can find the bugs on launchpad | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | noaXess: looks like a bug | 10:52 |
| voicu | flaccid: is there some kind of override that kde does when the computers starts? Something that doesn't happen when logging out? | 10:53 |
| flaccid | voicu: the latter is one of the bugs and is partially fixed at least in proposed | 10:53 |
| zarlino | hi all | 10:53 |

| flaccid | voicu: what is your dpkg -l | grep xorg-driver-fglrx ? | 10:54 |
| zarlino | i can login only by using the "autologin" feature of kdm | 10:54 |
| zarlino | when i type user and pw kdm or X crashes | 10:54 |

| voicu | I know it is installed because 3D acceleration works | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | zarlino: no idea man, crazy sounding | 10:55 |
| zarlino | ActionParsnip: yes indeed | 10:55 |
| flaccid | voicu: thats the one im using. i can logout and it doesn't crash like that, but it crashes like that for others. i mean what can we do, not much. there is still at least 1 bug report open on these bugs in launchpad | 10:57 |
| voicu | flaccid: is it a problem that the xorg.conf file doesn't have any resolutions listed? just default screen, default monitor, fglrx driver and glx module | 10:58 |
| flaccid | nothing to do with xorg config | 10:58 |
| flaccid | although its possible they may find directives for a quickfix | 10:58 |
| noaXess | ActionParsnip: thanks.. sorry was bussy.. | 10:59 |
| voicu | resolution are in the Screen section right? | 10:59 |

| voicu | Does anyone know what component handles the man pages in konqueror? I need to file a bug report | 11:01 |
| flaccid | voicu: you can trust me when i say, we aint going to be able to find the problem. the problem is possibly in the driver blob itself which is why the devs are having a hard time fixing it entirely.. | 11:01 |
| voicu | flaccid: OK, thanks. At least it's not my fault :D | 11:02 |
| flaccid | voicu: yeah i mean because im a tester, i crash many times a day with this bug(s) | 11:02 |
| flaccid | very bad and it was worse.. | 11:02 |

| ActionParsnip | try kubuntu stop monitor standby | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | your system is standbying your monitor, the system is still running at full power | 11:21 |
| lakis1982 | but i dont want the system running | 11:22 |
| lakis1982 | i want it going into sleep mode | 11:22 |
| lakis1982 | so it is like is turned off | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | i thought you just wanted your monitor to stop sleeping | 11:22 |
| lakis1982 | no | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | ok | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | hmm | 11:22 |
| lakis1982 | i cant find anything two days now | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | lakis1982: http://spidertools.com/ub_power.php | 11:23 |
| lakis1982 | let me see it | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | try using suspend instead of sleep | 11:24 |
| lakis1982 | i have seen this site | 11:24 |
| lakis1982 | but how do i start an application | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | lakis1982: from konsole / yakuake. or right click and click run app | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | then type what you want to run | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !hibernate | 11:25 |
| ubottu | Factoid hibernate not found | 11:25 |

| ActionParsnip | !standby | 11:25 |
| ubottu | Factoid standby not found | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | bah | 11:25 |
| lakis1982 | i type / yakuake ? | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | lakis1982: no, yakuake is a konsole replacement | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | lakis1982: you need to type whatever the powermanagement thing is called | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | or try system settings | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | maybe theres some power options there | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | im at work on my xp lappy so cant really find out | 11:27 |
| lakis1982 | ther arent . i searched everywhere | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | lakis1982: is it not in screensaver any place | 11:30 |
| lakis1982 | the link u gave e says about ubuntu and gnome enviroments | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | lakis1982: http://www.kde-forum.org/artikel/17283/sleep-mode.html | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | have you got kpowersave installed? | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=29295 | 11:31 |
| lakis1982 | no | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | lakis1982: or pm-utils | 11:32 |
| lakis1982 | i have tried it yesterday | 11:32 |
| lakis1982 | pm-utils i havent tried | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | the kde-apps link looks promising. Id try pm-utils first | 11:32 |
| lakis1982 | pm-utils i will install them now and see | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | lakis1982: its just some stuff ive happened upon so i have no idea how good they are | 11:33 |
| lakis1982 | pm-tooles appears to be installed like adept manager says | 11:34 |
| lakis1982 | but how do i run pm-utils | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | guess | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | its more obvious than you think | 11:34 |
| lakis1982 | what u mean ? | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | the program is called pm-utils | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | so type | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | pm-utils & in a konsole | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | or even easier, type pm then press tab | 11:35 |
| lakis1982 | i type pm-utils and it says command not found | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | lakis1982: try tab auto complete | 11:36 |
| lakis1982 | pmap pmi pm-powersave pm-suspend-hybrid | 11:37 |
| lakis1982 | pm-hibernate pm-is-supported pm-suspend | 11:37 |
| lakis1982 | lakis1982@lakis-desktop:~$ pm-powersave | 11:37 |

| ndf | anyone here use k3b? #k3b is pretty much empty atm | 12:52 |
| ndf | just need to know why i have to convert mp3s to wav to burn them? | 12:52 |
| ndf | do i need LAME or something? | 12:53 |
| makdaknife | ndf: I use k3b | 12:53 |
| makdaknife | ndf: it depends on what sort of cd you're burning | 12:53 |
| ndf | makdaknife: do i need LAME to put mp3s directly into an audio disc burn list? | 12:53 |
| makdaknife | if you burn a data cd then you can leave them as mp3 | 12:54 |
| ndf | an audio disc | 12:54 |
| makdaknife | yup... you'll need lame then | 12:54 |
| ndf | ok | 12:54 |
| Jabop | That's weird, I'm burning a cd as we speak | 12:54 |
| Jabop | mp3 audio cd. | 12:54 |
| ndf | =/ | 12:54 |
| ndf | maybe you allready have LAME? | 12:55 |
| makdaknife | ndf: once you have lame installed, k3b will convert on the fly | 12:55 |
| Jabop | Of course I have lame | 12:55 |
| ndf | there you go then :P | 12:55 |
| Jabop | Who doesn't have lame? :P | 12:55 |
| ndf | k thx makdaknife | 12:55 |
| ndf | makdaknife: is LAME in synaptic? | 12:55 |

| makdaknife | up... try install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 12:55 |
| ndf | found lame | 12:56 |
| ndf | will i need lame-extras too? | 12:56 |
| makdaknife | ndf: I'm not sure... you will also need transcode | 12:57 |
| Jabop | makdaknife: why will he need that? | 12:57 |
| Jabop | I have lame libs and lame installed, and k3b is burning mp3s as audio cd for me | 12:57 |
| makdaknife | ndf: just install the restricted-extras package... it will probably deal with the majority of problems you'll run into | 12:58 |
| ndf | makdaknife: i'm not actually on kubuntu | 12:59 |
| makdaknife | Jabop: If you look in the K3B configuration... you wil see that under programs it searches for transcode, and then uses lame etc through that | 12:59 |
| ndf | i just came here because i needed help with k3b | 12:59 |
| makdaknife | ndf: ha ha... fair enough | 12:59 |
| ndf | :P | 12:59 |
| makdaknife | ndf: you could prolly also get this sort of help on ##linux | 12:59 |
| makdaknife | ndf: what distro are you using? | 12:59 |
| ndf | ubuntu hardy 8.04 | 12:59 |
| ndf | i asked in #ubuntu-uk | 13:00 |
| makdaknife | ndf: then you install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 13:00 |
| ndf | lame and transcode dont appear to be in that package, is that because i've allready selected them elsewhere to install (i haven't applied the install yet) | 13:01 |
| ndf | ? | 13:01 |
| ndf | i seem to have most things from that package anyway now | 13:02 |
| ndf | lol | 13:02 |
| makdaknife | ndf: ha... I might be wrong about what is in that package... but there is a load of help for you here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 13:03 |
| makdaknife | there is a section on burning/ripping CDs etc | 13:03 |
| ndf | lame is in the package | 13:03 |
| ndf | transcode is not | 13:03 |
| flaccid | im a bit confused. is there a problem still ndf? | 13:04 |
| ndf | no i'm just saying transcode isn't in that package | 13:06 |
| flaccid | should it be? | 13:07 |
| makdaknife | ndf: thanks for clarifying... transcode should be available though | 13:08 |
| makdaknife | flaccid: I was probably misleading in my solution to the original problem... I suggested installing ubuntu-restricted-extras | 13:08 |
| flaccid | ah ok my bad | 13:09 |
| === alert_ is now known as al3rt | ||
| === al3rt is now known as dega | ||
| ndf | it's ok i am installing both restricted-extras and transcode | 13:09 |

| ndf | thanks for the help =) | 13:09 |
| ndf | now it is time to make a cigarette | 13:10 |
| makdaknife | ndf: no problem... smoking will kill ya... apparently | 13:10 |

| ndf | flaccid: it didn't actually ask for a specific package, it jsut told me to manually convert my mp3s to wave before trying | 13:12 |
| ndf | then these guys told me i needed lame and transcode | 13:12 |
| flaccid | ndf: ok, i might just test this out of interest because its not on this box yet | 13:12 |

| eagles0513875 | kool | 13:15 |

| eagles0513875 | ndf: downloading mixxx as we speak | 13:15 |
| eagles0513875 | ahhhhhhhhh got it wouldnt k3b do that | 13:15 |
| ndf | no k3b needs transcode to do it | 13:15 |
| flaccid | ok i got that message, now i will add transcode | 13:15 |
| ndf | which is why i'm downloading it instead of 'soundkonverter' | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Its all about front ends calling other commands. :) | 13:16 |
| ndf | yea | 13:16 |
| flaccid | i just want to know for sure for future reference. i rarely burn on this notebook because the optical drive is dead | 13:20 |
| flaccid | ok transcode installed, same message in k3b, i shall now restart k3b | 13:21 |
| flaccid | it certainly aint that pkg which is what i suspected | 13:22 |

| ndf | eagles0513875: nah not yet | 13:28 |
| ndf | flaccid: so i dont need transcode? | 13:28 |
| flaccid | oops i mean mixxx lol | 13:28 |

| jhutchins | massi_: could be .0.254 | 13:34 |

| eagles0513875 | massi_: do you have a machine currently using the wireless | 13:35 |
| massi_ | i've kubuntu and I'have wireless but I'm not able to use it. I just use lan | 13:36 |
| eagles0513875 | massi_: if u have another machine connected to what ever you are having issues with if it connected to the wireless router by wire use that to take a look at the ip of the router aka default gateway | 13:36 |
| eagles0513875 | massi_: are u on lan through the router that generates the wireless for ya | 13:36 |
| jhutchins | Seriously, the easiest way is to find a manual for it and look it up. | 13:36 |
| eagles0513875 | jhutchins: that as well or he can check what his current default gateway is if he is wired to it in regards to the ip | 13:37 |
| massi_ | eagles0513875: yes, but wlan settings are separate from router and unfortunatelly i' ve gon no manuals | 13:37 |
| eagles0513875 | massi_: if u can log into the webinterface they will be there | 13:37 |

| eagles0513875 | as well as for the wired settings | 13:38 |
| massi_ | eagles0513875: I can take a loook at router's log | 13:38 |
| eagles0513875 | massi_: O_o doesnt that involve logging into the webinterface of the router to do that | 13:39 |
| bak1an | hi all | 13:39 |
| eagles0513875 | ummmmmmmmm we got a problem the bot has left the channel | 13:41 |
| massi_ | eagles0513875: in log'system there is no mention about access point shh.. | 13:41 |
| flaccid | massi_: i won't show you how to scan, but its possible the ip is in your arp cache if connected to the ap. ie. arp -a | 13:41 |
| eagles0513875 | lol | 13:41 |
| eagles0513875 | flaccid: u gave it away lol at least how to display all ips in the arp cache | 13:41 |
| massi_ | flaccid: what's about arp cache? | 13:42 |
| flaccid | Kijutsu: try installing qtparted after enabling universe repos from the livecd and running it under kdesudo or even easier just re-size it in Vista! | 13:42 |
| Kijutsu | How the crap do you resize a partition in use? | 13:42 |
| flaccid | massi_: huh | 13:42 |
| eagles0513875 | !language | Kijutsu | 13:42 |
| flaccid | Kijutsu: you cannot , it must be unmounted | 13:42 |
| eagles0513875 | massi_: he was saying if u check your arp cache the ip of the ap might be in there | 13:43 |
| Pici | Kijutsu: You cant do any operations on partitions in use | 13:43 |
| Kijutsu | Exactly my point. | 13:43 |
| ds187__ | eagles0513875: no bot, no advice :-( | 13:43 |

| eagles0513875 | ubottu really grows on ya lol | 13:43 |
| massi_ | i'll reset anything | 13:44 |

| eagles0513875 | Kijutsu: i read somewhere u ahve to install kubuntu first then vista | 13:45 |
| Kijutsu | Oy.. I so don't want to nuke the entire drive.. | 13:45 |
| eagles0513875 | ended up having to do that for a friend of mine cuz i did it vista first then kubuntu and he ran into problems on vista | 13:45 |
| Kijutsu | I gotta see if Dell provided Vista media first... | 13:45 |
| lenea | can anyone please tell me how to see the windows drives in /media? | 13:46 |
| flaccid | Kijutsu: yes common. try qtparted as advised. many people have had success this way.. | 13:46 |
| flaccid | lenea: disks and filesystems in system settings | 13:46 |
| eagles0513875 | flaccid: he should be weary and back up his data just in case it doesnt work | 13:46 |
| Kijutsu | What's it do? drop it on a ramdisk until reboot? | 13:46 |
| Kijutsu | eagles0513875, brand new laptop.. no data on it really. :P | 13:46 |
| flaccid | eagles0513875: now linux last or windows will overwrite grub mbr | 13:46 |
| eagles0513875 | Kijutsu: just being careful dude | 13:46 |
| Kijutsu | I appreciate it tho. | 13:47 |
| eagles0513875 | flaccid: that isnt right though at least not right with vista | 13:47 |

| flaccid | lol | 13:48 |
| flaccid | hopefully he just resizes in qtparted or vista | 13:48 |
| eagles0513875 | damn it i have a feeling his dell has a recovery partition he needs to make the vista recovery discs with | 13:48 |
| lenea | flaccid : it says the disks cannot be mounted. should i try and mount them by force? | 13:49 |
| flaccid | hangon im confused, he has to resize but nothing is installed wtf? | 13:49 |
| flaccid | lenea: is it in admin mode or did you run under kdesudo? | 13:49 |
| lenea | flaccid : admin mode | 13:49 |
| flaccid | is it asking you to force? | 13:49 |
| lenea | flaccid : it tells me i can force it on my own risk :) | 13:49 |
| flaccid | what type is the filesystem? | 13:50 |
| lenea | no idea :| | 13:50 |
| flaccid | well it might need disk checking but you can force mount on your own risk | 13:50 |
| lenea | flaccid : nvm, i disabled writing access and now i can mount it | 13:51 |
| eagles0513875 | lenea: to check what types of file systems ur partitioins have run an fdisk -l | 13:52 |
| eagles0513875 | lenea: lists all partitions and filesystems | 13:52 |
| flaccid | ok coolio | 13:52 |
| lenea | they are NTFS | 13:53 |
| flaccid | yep thats why.. | 13:53 |
| flaccid | and yeah it will say the type in system settings as well which gets the same kind of data fdisk -l gets | 13:54 |
| lenea | doesn't matter anymore. i mounted them so it's ok :) | 13:54 |

I couldn't switch to terminals, or restart the X server. The caps lock light was flashing like once per second. I had to shutdown the | 14:07 |

| Kijutsu | but i gotta get wireless networking to pay attentino | 14:11 |
| flaccid | so it is on there... | 14:11 |
| Kijutsu | flaccid, I'm using it as we speak. | 14:12 |
| flaccid | just go into vista and resize in computer management is easiest | 14:12 |

| drmarwat | Ash-Fox: yes i did | 14:36 |
| Ash-Fox | Oh wait, nevermind. I'm confusing it with beryl | 14:36 |

| Ash-Fox | Dragnslcr, tried compiz-kde? | 14:37 |
| Ash-Fox | err drmarwat | 14:37 |

| PvtRyan | It was a friend told me as I use ubuntu. | 14:49 |
| PvtRyan | but I spent an hour arguing that 8.04 KB wasn't LTS.. | 14:50 |
| flaccid | LTS is for commercial support anyway | 14:50 |
| PvtRyan | I figured as much.. | 14:50 |
| Pici | flaccid: Partially, but it also guarantees security updates and access to repositories. | 14:50 |
| flaccid | well security updates should be guaranteed anyway with any decent distro. access to repos? | 14:51 |

| thewhitepelican | Faust-C, also, it doesn't work in ubuntu either. I installed that first | 16:08 |
| StFS | s/tima/time/ | 16:08 |
| Faust-C | thewhitepelican: maybe its a issue w/ gentoo ? i primarly virtualize MS, havent had much use for linux vm unless its on ESX | 16:09 |
| thewhitepelican | oh ok | 16:09 |
| thewhitepelican | possible | 16:09 |
| thewhitepelican | ty | 16:09 |
| flaccid | StFS: need to do the failsafe session and see the problem , but pastebin ~/.xsession-errors first | 16:10 |
| StFS | flaccid: http://pastebin.com/dbfda730 | 16:13 |
| StFS | flaccid: gonna reboot into safe mode... although I don't think there's any error going on... I just think that this Desktop Effect stuff somehow replaced some line somewhere from starting kwin to starting compiz... and when I removed the Desktop Effect thingy, it didn't properly revert that config change... | 16:14 |
| Faust-C | error i get when trying to use xvidcap http://pastebin.ca/1051099 | 16:14 |
| StFS | anyways... going into failsafe | 16:15 |
| flaccid | StFS: what kde version are you running and which desktop effects? | 16:16 |
| StFS | flaccid: ok... I'm in failsafe mode now and I got a single terminal up that way but the window doesn't have any titlebar (so I'm assuming that kwin wasn't started) | 16:17 |
| flaccid | ^^ | 16:17 |
| StFS | flaccid: I'm on kubuntu 8.04, and I have installed KDE4 as well but I'm not using that at all | 16:17 |
| flaccid | which effects were you using? | 16:18 |
| StFS | flaccid: so, just the KDE packages from the official kubuntu repositories | 16:18 |
| flaccid | in kde3 | 16:18 |
| zorglu_ | ultra naive question, i installed vmware server, all went well... but now how do i launch virtual machine on it ? | 16:18 |
| flaccid | also are your sessions turned on and is there anything in Autostart? | 16:18 |
| StFS | flaccid: umm... just the ones that were in the menu... (I don't have the K menu in failsafe mode) but it's just called "Desktop Effects" and there's an install button there | 16:18 |
| StFS | flaccid: hmm my sessions turned on? | 16:19 |
| rav | StFS: sounds like compiz was uninstalled while enabled. Happened to me, i reinstalled compiz, and choose 'No Effects' to enable Kwin | 16:19 |
| flaccid | StFS: right, so i would assume compiz is running on startup and that needs to be turned off | 16:19 |
| StFS | rav: hmm... interesting... I'll try that maybe | 16:19 |
| StFS | flaccid: yup... gonna try what rav suggested | 16:19 |
| StFS | be back in a bit | 16:19 |
| flaccid | desktop-effects-kde4 is experimental and doesn't work very good with compiz fusion | 16:19 |
| flaccid | yah turn off effects | 16:20 |
| StFS | bahh... how the hell do I log out of failsafe mode? | 16:20 |
| flaccid | um | 16:20 |
| flaccid | exit out of all windows/consoles | 16:20 |
| === root is now known as Guest50427 | ||
| StFS | flaccid: yup... figured that one out :) | 16:22 |
| flaccid | hey my config window has nothing in it | 16:22 |
| flaccid | oops wrong window | 16:22 |
| flaccid | desktop-effects-kde4 was crashin hectic on me i couldn't realy use it | 16:23 |
| StFS | woohoo... it worked | 16:25 |
| StFS | rav: thanks | 16:25 |
| StFS | flaccid: thanks so much for all your help! | 16:26 |
| rav | StFS: you're welcome | 16:26 |
| flaccid | hey StFS so is your compiz fusion working now or you using kwin ? | 16:26 |
| StFS | flaccid: using kwin | 16:28 |
| StFS | flaccid: never got that compiz desktop effect thingy to work properly | 16:28 |
| StFS | flaccid: or at least, I never noticed any difference | 16:28 |
| flaccid | StFS: yeah it didn't even start lol | 16:29 |
| flaccid | you have to do compiz --replace | 16:29 |
| flaccid | but it looks like it was running for you on the startup but no window decorations etc. | 16:29 |
| StFS | flaccid: well no... the problem I had was when I switched back to kwin... so when I was (or at least thought I was) running compiz, everything looked ok (not particularly flashy, but it worked)... but when I removed the desktop effects and went back to kwin everything got borked | 16:30 |
| flaccid | right understood | 16:31 |
| StFS | flaccid: so I think compiz was running for me... but as I said, I just didn't notice anything flashy ;) | 16:31 |
| flaccid | you have to configure it | 16:31 |
| flaccid | the window decorations if working would of looked different to kwin/kde | 16:32 |
| StFS | flaccid: yeah, I'm sure I just have to do something "undocumented" to get it working properly... but since this is my work laptop I'm just gonna give up on flashy stuff for now ;) | 16:32 |
| StFS | I have KDE4 and I can play around with that if I want... that's more than enough for me ;) | 16:32 |
| rav | i've only used compiz on kde 3.5.9. I didn't like that it only has 2 desktops, and can't use my Kwin sounds that I'm very fond of. | 16:33 |
| genii | rav: The number of desktops can be changed in the ccsm. The underlying kwin themes can be used in compiz with the kde-window-decorator --replace | 16:37 |
| rav | genii: the sound themes? | 16:38 |
| genii | rav: Seems to work onmine. | 16:38 |

| SlimG | Anyone know of a good audiotagging application for KDE? I'm used to Kid3 | 18:26 |

| emilsedgh | there are some plans to make it awesome on Amarok2 i guess. | 18:30 |
| contrast83 | Anyone using the Neon repo for Amarok 2? I'm wondering if it's worth checking out. | 18:30 |
| SlimG | contrast83: Well, if theyr'e good it doesn't really matter if they're GTK, so I'll try them out (thanks) | 18:31 |
| === root is now known as Guest35578 | ||
| contrast83 | SlimG: No prob, it's been a while since I used either, so I don't remember which one I liked more. Amarok usually does the job for me. | 18:31 |
| contrast83 | SlimG: On a similar note, if you need a killer batch-renamer, KRename is great - it can name files based on meta info (id3 tags for example). | 18:32 |

| contrast83 | SlimG: Ahh, nice... So why not use that? -_~ | 18:33 |
| SlimG | contrast83: It has some minor limits, and I'd hate do use the same application forever if theres a better alternative out there, therefore I ask you guys :) | 18:35 |

| dwidmann | kanniball: I'm not sure any filesystems have a particularly convenient way to undelete. | 19:53 |
| dwidmann | kanniball: your best bet is to rely on the "trash" folder really ... that way you get a second chance to think hard before deleting | 19:54 |
| kanniball | but in a network shared disk, is not that easy | 19:55 |

| __Adam___ | hello, Is KDE 4 released and stable? | 19:59 |
| emilsedgh | __Adam___: KDE 4.0 is relased.KDE 4.1 will be released in 29 July | 20:00 |
| SSJ_GZ | __Adam___: KDE4 was released on Jan 11th. "Stability" seems to vary from person to person. | 20:00 |
| __Adam___ | okay | 20:00 |
| emilsedgh | hey SSJ_GZ | 20:00 |
| SSJ_GZ | __Adam___: Feature regressions from KDE3 seem to cause more problems than instability, though. | 20:00 |
| __Adam___ | is it easy to upgrade from 3 to 4? | 20:00 |
| SSJ_GZ | emilsedgh: Hey dude :) | 20:01 |
| SSJ_GZ | __Adam___: Depends on your distro. I don't think there's any tool to convert your KDE3 settings to KDE4 ones, though :/ | 20:01 |
| emilsedgh | SSJ_GZ: iirc there arent changed.apps should work with older settings | 20:02 |
| * __Adam___ is running Kubuntu :) | 20:02 | |
| SSJ_GZ | emilsedgh: Cool - have you tried this yourself? | 20:02 |
| dwidmann | kanniball: an interesting, custom solution if multiple linux computers are involves, would be to use konqueror and create a service menu for moving the file to a trash folder you specify instead of actually deleting the file | 20:03 |
| __Adam___ | i have been running Kubuntu for 3 weeks.... was opensuse 10.3 | 20:03 |
| emilsedgh | SSJ_GZ: no | 20:03 |

| ubunturos | !wifi | miquel_puig | 20:42 |
| ubottu | miquel_puig: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 20:42 |
| miquel_puig | I've always used GNOME, but decided to try KDE, so I installed it, but the wireless connection doesn't work, when in GNOME it did. Moreover, if I enter to GNOME and then close session and go to KDE it works | 20:43 |
| miquel_puig | you can check my syslog, iwconfig and ifconfig here: http://pastebin.php-es.info/1234 | 20:44 |

| _CrashMaster_ | miquel_puig: hang on, Im looking at it | 20:48 |
| miquel_puig | sure, thanks | 20:48 |
| _CrashMaster_ | hm. looks like everything is ok.. what exactly are your symptoms? | 20:49 |
| miquel_puig | well... | 20:49 |
| miquel_puig | in KDE internet just doesn't work, any ping gets a "network unreachable" message | 20:50 |
| miquel_puig | even to the router | 20:50 |
| _CrashMaster_ | And you're sure you've succesfully associated to your WAP? | 20:50 |
| miquel_puig | it's WEP, and yes, because in GNOME works fine | 20:51 |
| _CrashMaster_ | So.. you start KDE and can't connect to the network. But if you start Gnome and then switch to KDE you can connect? | 20:52 |
| miquel_puig | right | 20:52 |
| _CrashMaster_ | What application are you using in KDE to manage your network connections? | 20:52 |
| miquel_puig | hmm I think it's Kmenu/preferences/internet/wireless manager or sth alike | 20:53 |
| _CrashMaster_ | try Knetworkmanager. Kmenu / Internet / Knetworkmanager | 20:54 |
| miquel_puig | ok, I'll try | 20:54 |
| mrksbrd | anyone know how to extract an .exe file to get the contents?? | 21:09 |
| Agent_bob | unzip file.exe | 21:10 |
| mrksbrd | asking me for a program to do it though | 21:10 |
| Agent_bob | are you sure it's an execitable zip file then ? | 21:11 |
| Agent_bob | maybe some wierd warper around a cab file or something | 21:11 |
| mrksbrd | it is a windows driver package exe file for my wifi card | 21:13 |
| _CrashMaster_ | and extractable .exe sounds like a win32 binary. | 21:13 |
| mrksbrd | ark will not do it since it is a windows file | 21:13 |
| _CrashMaster_ | Extract it via Wine | 21:14 |
| mrksbrd | all i need is the inf file for my wificard...the one I have gotten thru here doesn't want to work even though i had it running in the past | 21:15 |
| _CrashMaster_ | mrksbrd: Sounds like you're using ndiswrapper, which means you'll need the .inf and the .sys drivers. | 21:15 |
| _CrashMaster_ | mrksbrd: do you have a running Windows box anywhere? | 21:15 |
| mrksbrd | this is a dual boot machine | 21:16 |
| mrksbrd | guess i'll have to boot up windows....just wasn't sure if linux had the capabilities to do the same | 21:17 |
| Agent_bob | err umm is the .inf not in C:\windows\inf\ ? | 21:17 |
| mrksbrd | should be | 21:17 |
| mrksbrd | not sure if i can access it from linux side though | 21:18 |
| _CrashMaster_ | Agent_bob: Not if he hasn't extracted the drivers | 21:18 |
| _CrashMaster_ | mrksbrd: You have a flash drive, or a CD burner? | 21:18 |
| mrksbrd | flash | 21:19 |
| _CrashMaster_ | boot to windows, extract your files to the flash drive, then boot back in linux. | 21:19 |
| rav | hello. I installed hplip 2.8.5 from a binary, and now I want to go back to the official kubuntu version 2.8.2. I've tried removing /usr/share/hplip, but when I install 2.8.2 I can't use it | 21:19 |
| _CrashMaster_ | Linux will see the flash drive and you can copy / use your files as needed. | 21:19 |
| mrksbrd | yea was as simple as it sounds i now like to use windows as little as possible.....but if i must | 21:20 |
| === santiago-php is now known as santiago-ve | ||

| Agent_bob | _CrashMaster_ :) | 21:22 |

| Agent_bob | rav maybe something like sudo apt-get -P remove cupsys hplip ;sudo apt-get install cupsys hplip | 21:24 |
| Agent_bob | s/-P/--purge/ | 21:24 |

| elbasan | hey I am new on this linux but when I go to add or remove programs- internet- firefox is green I can't clik on to install | 21:34 |
| Agent_bob | if you use konq it will probably trash it rather than deleting it anyway. and if you have root owned crap in your home dir there is something wrong with what you've been doing anyway | 21:34 |
| milos | Agent_bob: some people like GUI apps. Do not ram command line down their throats :-) | 21:34 |

| elbasan | hahhaha | 21:40 |
| Agent_bob | rev ok home is the more important var there | 21:40 |
| rav | Agent_bob: and home is /usr/share/hplip | 21:41 |
| milos | elbasan: when you click the Start button there is a menu item called "Add/Remove programs'. | 21:41 |
| Agent_bob | rav try changing it's home see if it helps. you'll have to restart it too sudo /etc/init.d/hplip* restart | 21:41 |

| Agent_bob | bestpvp what exactly have you got ? | 21:55 |
| elbasan | ok thanks man for your help | 21:55 |
| milos | elbasan: I do not recommend updating. You would need to go through all versions between 6.10 and 8.04. You would spend at least two whole days doing it | 21:55 |

| Agent_bob | or is it force-yes in apt ??? | 22:06 |

| Agent_bob | sudo mv /usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/amarok_addaspodcast.desktop / | 22:35 |
| jmichaelx | yes, you are indeed repeating yourself. | 22:35 |
| Agent_bob | yep. you noticed. | 22:35 |
| Agent_bob | you are too.... | 22:36 |
| Lam_ | I'm looking for a program that can cut up a batch of video files, preferably without quality loss and with a GUI. Anyone have suggestions? | 22:36 |
| Agent_bob | !bug | jmichaelx incase you didn't know where you could/should report bugs | 22:37 |
| ubottu | jmichaelx incase you didn't know where you could/should report bugs: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 22:37 |
| jmichaelx | Agent_bob: i was not intending to report a bug, i was wondering if this was a commonly known issue to someone present in this channel. apparently it is. | 22:38 |
| * Agent_bob is again remorseful ;'( | 22:39 | |
| * jmichaelx is also remorseful | 22:39 | |
| ActionParsnip | jmichaelx: .desktop files are powerful but can be quirky and cause weird stuff | 22:39 |
| jmichaelx | ActionParsnip: obviously so | 22:39 |
| * ActionParsnip has heineken | 22:39 | |
| Agent_bob | that's good beer | 22:40 |
| Agent_bob | as beer goes. | 22:40 |
| ActionParsnip | damn right | 22:40 |
| jmichaelx | i simply would not have considered a file that was never in the /Desktop dir to be a .desktop. | 22:40 |
| jmichaelx | or be asscoiated with amarok podcasts | 22:40 |
| jmichaelx | associated* | 22:40 |
| ActionParsnip | jmichaelx: the .desktop is not related to amarok | 22:40 |
| Agent_bob | jmichaelx most of your "desktop" files are not in your ~/Desktop | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | jmichaelx: the behaviour the file gives just happens to be related to amarok | 22:41 |
| jmichaelx | ActionParsnip: no, it isn't related to amarok, but amarok is mentioned in the error i was getting... but anyways, i appreciate the solution | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | jmichaelx: you could have one that makes the file be renamed to the data | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | date* | 22:41 |
| Agent_bob | or asks ubottu out on a date .... ;/ | 22:42 |
| Agent_bob | i mean why couldn't a .desktop file ask an irc bot out ? | 22:43 |
| jmichaelx | that bot is an overused hussy... i would never recommend anyone ask it out | 22:43 |
| Agent_bob | !botsnack | ubottu | 22:43 |
| ubottu | ubottu: Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | the bot is hilarious | 22:44 |
| jmichaelx | ...or anything | 22:44 |
| ActionParsnip | !coffee | jmichaelx | 22:44 |
| ubottu | jmichaelx: coffee is a caffeinated beverage made by filtering water through ground up roasted beans of the coffee plant. Flavouring to taste such as milk or cream, sugar or sweetener are often added afterwards. Not to be confused with !java | 22:44 |
| jmichaelx | the bot is a fluzy | 22:44 |
| ActionParsnip | !anything | jmichaelx | 22:44 |
| ubottu | jmichaelx: So, you wanted to lure me into saying I don't know anything about anything? Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone. | 22:44 |
| ActionParsnip | the bot is just really handy for redirecting none english speakers | 22:45 |
| jmichaelx | when i grow up, i would like to be a mod, and somehow ban ubottu | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | jmichaelx: you'll have stdin to answer to for that | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | jmichaelx: its his pride and joy | 22:45 |
| Agent_bob | he may go postal and become stderr on you | 22:46 |
| jmichaelx | if i recall, the bot's name did not always include two T's | 22:46 |
| Agent_bob | was ubotu | 22:46 |
| jmichaelx | well, i would enver want to offend stdin | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | ask it :) | 22:46 |
| jmichaelx | !ubotu | 22:47 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #kubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | !ubotu | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ehhe | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | jmichaelx: no, hes a smart guy and helps lots | 22:47 |
| jmichaelx | stdin is one of the most helpful #kubuntu folks in history | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | i try and help too, but i hate compiz issues | 22:48 |

| ActionParsnip | i also use a vista theme for irony | 22:49 |
| Canageek | Um, if dpkg is screwed up and I can't figure out whats wrong is this the palace to get help? I've tried googleing the error message and thats didn't get anything useful..... | 22:49 |

| ubottu | Factoid icewm not found | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | !xmms | 22:51 |
| ubottu | For the reason why xmms is no longer in the hardy repositories see: http://bugs.debian.org/461309 . Consider using audacious instead. | 22:51 |
| jmichaelx | audacious sucks | 22:51 |
| _2 | was pretty light weight and could fool some people into thinking you were running win95 but in reality it was too advanced to have been win95 | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | jmichaelx: xmms come in fluxbuntu, gimme a sec | 22:52 |
| Canageek | hey, never mind I think I fixed it | 22:52 |
| jmichaelx | ActionParsnip: i have it, but had to compile it on two machines | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | jmichaelx: best way :) | 22:52 |
| _2 | is audacious anything like audicity ? | 22:53 |
| jmichaelx | the compiling went well, although the volume control slide does not work | 22:53 |
| BluesKaj | jmichaelx, xmms2 is available ...is there a negative difference ? | 22:53 |
| _2 | !info audacious | 22:54 |

| _2 | !info audicity | 22:54 |

| BluesKaj | jmichaelx, so not an amarok fan then | 22:55 |
| WaY | hello | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | jmichaelx: i use mplayer or aplay | 22:55 |
| _2 | sox here | 22:56 |
| jmichaelx | BluesKaj: i love amarok, but nothing replaces xmms for an app that comes on instantly when playing streaming audio, or a simgle audio file | 22:56 |
| _2 | and vlc | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | jmichaelx: and amarok for XUL script :D | 22:56 |
| WaY | I've installed kde4 and kde-artworkkde4 and no new decoration themes appeared on mi menu. What happened? | 22:56 |
| _2 | can i !kde4 that ? | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | !kde4 | 22:57 |

| jmichaelx | audacious chokes on streaming audio fairly frequently for me, which doen't happen with xmms | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | _2: yep | 22:57 |
| _2 | no. you beet me to it. | 22:57 |
| WaY | thanks a lot | 22:57 |
| WaY | and excuse me | 22:57 |
| jmichaelx | actually, kde4.0.5 is out, isn't it? | 22:57 |
| _2 | 4.1 is being used by many but "official" may be a key word | 22:58 |

| ActionParsnip | lakis1982: you got suspend working. cool | 23:05 |
| lakis1982 | yes but its not function well | 23:06 |
| lakis1982 | i cant resume after suspend... screen remains black | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | lakis1982: looks well documented | 23:07 |
| _2 | in a shell what means !` ? | 23:08 |
| _2 | it seems to expand to " `cat testing.sh` " | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | lakis1982: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-80169.html | 23:09 |
| jmichaelx | ActionParsnip: perhaps you good point him to that documentation? | 23:09 |
| jmichaelx | good | 23:09 |
| lakis1982 | let me see | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | jmichaelx: im in here a fair bit bro | 23:10 |
| lakis1982 | it doesnt say anything | 23:10 |
| _2 | it expands to something in the .bash_history file ? | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | _2: wassup | 23:11 |
| jmichaelx | ActionParsnip: i am sure you are. i wrongly guessed you were going to mention his issue being well documented, and leave it at that. my assumption was false, although that is common irc behavior by some | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | lakis1982: search for blank screen after hibernate | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | jmichaelx: yeah, usually none helpful folks | 23:11 |
| _2 | ActionParsnip what does !` expand to ? i just found that i can't put an ! near the end of an `command ` | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | _2: it just means 'end@ afaik | 23:13 |
| _2 | i knew that #! would fall on it's face but i didn't know that !` would | 23:13 |
| _2 | ActionParsnip nope. test this. echo "`echo boo !`" | 23:14 |
| ActionParsnip | _2: usually you put it at the start of bash scripts | 23:14 |
| === sdfgasfgsdf is now known as engineer | ||
| _2 | it should say "boo !" right ? | 23:14 |
| ActionParsnip | werd engineer | 23:14 |

| ActionParsnip | engineer: just saying howdy | 23:15 |
| _2 | exactly, but why ? | 23:15 |

| engineer | i've cried sometimes when i lost an importan volleyball match | 23:16 |
| engineer | sometimes feelings takeover the control of the situation | 23:16 |
| _2 | ActionParsnip test these two. echo "`echo boo !`" ;echo "`echo boo ! `" # the second works, the first errors out. the char combo !` means something to bash, but what? | 23:17 |
| ActionParsnip | _2: bash: !`": event not found | 23:18 |
| NickPresta | _2, using "!" the way you have, invokes the history mechanism. Do this: `ls` Then do: `!l` | 23:22 |

| _2 | i use the shell way too much for that to get in my way. but it's odd that i haven't found it until now. probably overlooked the cause of syntax errors in the past... | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | _2: alias it to do nothing in .bashrc | 23:34 |
| _2 | ActionParsnip doesn't help, | 23:35 |
| _2 | the shell is expanding it, it's not being called as a command. an alias of function would work there but it's just a shell "special" char | 23:36 |
