[03:45] I am not doing to well on search terms [03:47] duh: KDE 3: Alt+F2, "kcontrol" - Appearance & Themes -> Theme Manager [03:47] unless you meant the *KDM* theme manager, in which case the package name is kdmtheme [03:48] junkeR: it's quite simple: because Canonical said so. it's their "tag" to give or take [03:48] I wonder why they would choose xubuntu over kubuntu... oh well. I guess you explained it well. I was wondering if there was an internal struggle or something. [03:49] nope. none at all [03:49] It AINT there [03:50] So something got biffed up a little [03:50] duh: which "theme manager" are you looking for? [03:50] (there are 2 kinds) [03:51] also, it really won't be in System Settings. it's only in KControl. [03:51] Like I knew that [03:51] Annoying that is [03:52] <_2> dapper recent updates have broken gdm/xorg anyone here want to trouble shoot this ?/ [03:53] <_2> error "your session only lasted less than 10 seconds..."

[03:54] press F8 [03:54] Like I knew that <--- I did say earlier "Alt+F2, "control"" [03:54] Another this I am just supposed to know... [03:54] UGH! [03:55] junkeR- the explanation that I heard is that KDE 3.5 won't be supported by the KDE team for the years that Kubuntu would need, and KDE4 isn't ready for general usage yet [03:55] You are pissing me off, so I'll leave before I get banned [03:55] bye [03:55] is that why the support is 2009 instead of 2011 (for desktops)? [03:56] junkeR- that's why Kubuntu 8.04 isn't LTS, yeah [03:56] At least that's what I remember being told [03:56] <_2> 6.6 is LTS so support me ! [03:56] <_2> :) [03:57] sheesh! [03:58] is kde4 recommended over kde3.x? I only briefly used kde4 when it came out. [03:59] err [03:59] so far i prefer 3 [03:59] why is that? [03:59] hmm [03:59] more tweakable [03:59] Basically I hate the widget system and no rightclicking so kde3 for me [04:00] I liked the upgraded konqueror though [04:00] at least the little I used of it [04:00] KDE 4.1 is supposed to be the first general-use release [04:01] Have both and use one or the other as you like. Then you don't have to make some this OR that choice [04:02] I tried beta1, and there were a couple annoying things that came right out for me. Customizing the taskbar was horrible [04:02] You can't move items around, you can only remove everything and re-add it in the order you want [04:03] <_2> never mind. i found it. did you know that /etc/profile can cause xorg to fail ?

[04:57] (it should be set to 1 sec idle) [04:57] crimsun_: how do I check that? [04:58] Mo0oSaH: look in system settings under audio [04:58] How do I enable opengl? [04:58] connor: should already be enabled unless you have hardware that requires non-Free drivers. [04:59] i enabled nvidia restricted drivers [04:59] connor: and glxinfo reports what?

[05:06] crimsun_: isn't it unsafe to install all those pre-release updates? [05:07] Mo0oSaH: no, it's not. Those updates are well vetted and simply need wider testing. They end up in hardy-updates. [05:08] alright it's downloading updates [05:08] crimsun_: Do I need to do anything after updates or would that fix it? [05:09] Mo0oSaH: you need to do additional things. I'll walk you through it; just ask me after those updates finish installing. [05:12] * genii sips [05:13] crimsun_: I need to restart... see you in a min.

[05:27] the latest [05:28] Mo0oSaH: ok, I need something more precise than that answer. Try: dpkg -l libasound2-plugins flashplugin-nonfree|grep ^ii [05:28] !worksforme [05:28] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others).

[05:40] lemme try [05:41] crimsun_: It works! thanks [05:41] crimsun_: one question though, should I remove that repository now? [05:41] Mo0oSaH: if you wish, sure. [05:42] it's quite safe to use it, however. [05:42] my xorg hurts [05:42] crimsun_: alright. thank you so much for taking the time to help me [05:42] stop banging it against a brick wall [05:42] Mo0oSaH: yw [05:43] tree stump [05:43] crimsun_ i did the stupidest thing, i ran apt-get upgrade [05:44] why do patches always break something else ? [05:44] ...they don't. What precisely are the symptoms? [05:44] it never seems to fix the problem, only shifts it some where else. [05:45] crimsun_ some apps wont run now. fail with "unable to init. fonts" [05:46] Agent_bob: which apps? [05:47] some games vlc idk wesnoth for example doesn't even try to start now, and i was in the midle of a campaign before i upgraded... [05:47] things like that put a burr under your sadle [05:48] Agent_bob: please pastebin the console spew from vlc when you invoke it from a konsole. [05:48] let me start a gui again. [05:49] gui is hosed somewhat too. [05:50] after i get in only way out is three fingures of SaLute! [05:51] vlc opened that time. maybe copying the ~/.fonts.cache-1 file over did help. [05:53] wesnoth is still hosed though. http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=ddfdb91b theres what it does now. [05:56] crimsun_ vlc puked on itself tho, http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d16565fa5 [05:57] that's not related though, maybe. [06:01] Agent_bob: and this occurred after an xserver-xorg-core update? [06:01] yeah another disk and it's working. so the fonts issue is partially cleard up by adding a ~/.fonts.cache-1 [06:01] crimsun_ yessir actualy full apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade still dapper LTS. [06:02] and xserver-xorg-core was one of the packages updated. [06:02] however i downgraded that package and it didn't seem to help. [06:02] Agent_bob: err... it's still 6.06? [06:02] yes. [06:03] Agent_bob: can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf, please? [06:03] sure. give me a sec. [06:03] pasting file /var/log/Xorg.0.log [06:03] http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d3951303c [06:04] there is nothing changed in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf but i'll post it if you want.

[06:06] yeah my card is not supported any other way [06:06] well that and vesa of course. [06:06] Agent_bob: ok, so does `sudo fc-cache -f -v' affect anything? [06:06] hi, can I check my disk to make sure kubuntu doesn't check it next time I boot? [06:07] crimsun_ umm does that have to be sudo ? no can sudo. [06:07] Agent_bob: yes [06:07] i can run it as root [06:07] I have a conference to go to and don't want any surprises there :) [06:07] but can't sudo it. [06:07] sure, that would work, too. [06:07] k [06:08] fc-cache: succeeded [06:08] want the full three page output ? [06:08] no affect in the gui [06:09] Agent_bob: ok, so restarting vlc still fails? [06:09] yup [06:10] tem alguem canal que seja usado apenas para bate papo? o IRC deixou de ser usado para esse fim ? [06:11] and what is $LANG? [06:11] C [06:11] ...instead of .._UTF-8? hmm.

[06:14] did it regenerate the .._UTF-8 locales? [06:14] en_HK.UTF-8... up-to-date <<< several of those. [06:15] is that the intended locale? [06:15] e.g., I have en_US.UTF-8 [06:15] no just saying it did several locals all with the same ".. up-to-date" ending [06:15] i.e., why are LANG, LANGUAGE, and LC_ALL being (re)set to C? [06:16] I presume you set them thusly? [06:16] ummm yeah in /etc/environment [06:16] why specifically? [06:17] that's not changed tho [06:17] so that's a non-issus [06:17] it is for those vlc errors [06:17] because lc_all=c "just works" :) [06:18] and vlc worked fine before i upgraded. same settings so that's not it. [06:18] but if you switched locales after you upgraded, that could be an issue. === luis__ is now known as tigremx [06:18] i didn't though. [06:18] anyhow, sure, if you're confident that locales have nothing to do with it, then I need some fontconfig debug spew. Hopefully from ~/.xsession-errors.

[06:23] bingo. [06:26] vlc is fixed. [06:27] wesnoth is still borked so there is a second problem.

[07:11] um you can compile stuff whereever you want to [07:11] emilsedgh: i think Apples was meaning which work folder [07:11] ah [07:12] I know, but isn't there a prefered folder for compiling applications in ? [07:12] Yep, sorry, I might not have been that clear about what I was asking [07:12] Linux Filesystem Heirarchy Standard... [07:13] for personal programs, it doesn't matter much. /usr/local, /opt, or $HOME [07:16] Oh ok, thanks I didn't think of looking at the Linux Filesystem Heirachy Standard. I realized that you could compile it anywhere, but I wanted it to be neat, clean and organized haha^^ [07:16] where in heir does it say ? [07:16] hier i mean [07:17] i cannot see [07:17] 4.8.2 [07:18] ? [07:20] Hm, what were you asking for again ? [07:20] i am looking an man hier and it says nothing about where to compile programs [07:20] an=in [07:21] Oh, I just grabbed a pdf of it off the interbews [07:21] I'll get the link if you want ? [07:21] sure thanks. still in man hier it doesn't specify.. [07:21] flaccid_: the FHS doesn't care where you *compile* the programs. only where you *install* them to [07:21] http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ [07:21] Jucato: yes i know, thats my point. the original question was the former.. [07:22] * Jucato doesn't think that's what Apples meant [07:22] is it Apples? [07:23] Well I'm just trying compile blender from source, and install it (I know they are different, but I thought runing make install did both) [07:23] but was your question about where to compile or where to install? [07:24] Well I wasn't compiling my own code, and it was so I could install it [07:25] um that doesn't really answer the question. is it where to install or where to compile? [07:25] where to install, it shouldn't matter where I compile it [07:25] yeah. and the make script should already set that according to hier [07:25] * Jucato twiddles thumbs [07:25] sorry if i take people's questions literally, i work to a science [07:26] goodbye [07:26] Thanks for your help, flaccid : ) [07:27] And yours too Jucato : ) [07:27] ^_^ [07:28] ^-^ almost thought I forgot about you [07:31] hello :) [07:31] hi silent death === alain is now known as Guest92154 [07:33] just curious... is there any way to 'patch' a Kubuntu 8.04 CD/DVD with updated debs? i want to help a friend install, and don't wanna make them go through the pain of trying to install all the updates (they're on dialup). would it just be better to hand them an original Kubuntu 8.04 and burn off my local apt repo? [07:33] or do an apt-on-cd cd or the like? [07:33] Install Kubuntu on a flash drive. [07:33] Boot from USB [07:34] If your motherboard supports booting from USB. [07:34] In a more broken down sense... [07:34] that's an idea... but i'd rather hand them CDs they can keep [07:35] just go the apt-cd route then I guess? [07:35] So extract the file to folder x, run .configure, then make, then make install and then I can deleate the folder and files and the program will be fine ? [07:36] Install Kubuntu yourself on said flash drive (given the flash drive is big enough). [07:36] Download/install updates. [07:36] Take flash drive to computer [07:36] Configure BIOS to boot from USB. [07:36] Kubuntu should load from flash drive. [07:36] Make take a while longer because Linux has to re-configure itself for the computer you are running. [07:36] !usb [07:36] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [07:41] I <3 netsplits :P [07:42] yes.. they are the "Silent Deaths" [07:42] I am the city in hell... just... quieter, without the screaming and such :D [07:43] i guess it's kinda scary that i've named my various boxen after the demons that control some of the levels lol [07:45] !aptoncd [07:45] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [07:46] sue me, i'm lazy lol [08:29] crimsun_: Are you there? Every now and then my firefox crashes when I click on youtube videos [08:34] hi guys [08:34] anyone awake [08:47] I feel like such an idiot [08:47] I'm pretty sure fsck has deleted my user data === oilinki3 is now known as oilinki [09:05] anyone got any idea why my sound would be very quiet? [09:07] question: I am a windows user, I have always been a windows user, I want to install kubuntu [09:08] how do i go about doing this. first, can i burn the iso file [09:08] onto a cdrw [09:08] yes you can. I did that not an hour ago [09:09] you'll need a program such as Nero, PowerISO, or something else that can actually handle burning of ISO images, since windows can't do that itself [09:09] once it's burned though, you can boot to the disc, and try it out some before making any changes to your computer [09:11] i've nero [09:11] but can i make a boot disk with a CDRW? [09:11] I want to install it [09:11] that's the other thing [09:11] I want to make three partitions [09:11] one for kubuntu [09:11] one for windows [09:11] and another one [09:12] and have access to the files within each regardless of the OS i'm using [09:12] i don't know how to make a partition [09:12] and i don't want ot lose my windows files [09:13] do you only have one physical hard drive to work with? [09:14] nuvan: yes [09:15] right. in nero, IIRC, if you open the burning rom app, go to the recorder menu, and choose the "burn image" menu item. that should allow you to select the ISO image and burn it directly to the disc. no special prep needed for making it bootable, that's done automatically. [09:16] when you boot to the ubuntu live CD environment, there will be a shortcut on the desktop to install it. you can go through that to install, but BE CAREFUL. if you make the wrong choice, you can nuke your windows data. [09:16] nero, IIRC? what's that...i mean i have the program nero an old version [09:17] IIRC = If I Recall Correctly [09:17] ok i open nero [09:17] basically, open the main nero window. in the menus up at the top, look for one titled "Recorder". in there, there should be an entry called "burn image" [09:18] a)download image file [09:18] i've got several categories, first is data>data disc>bootable disc then copy enitre disc and disc image or saved project [09:19] cancel that window. [09:20] how do you mean? tht's nero...which should i pick? [09:20] what's the disc image entry? [09:21] record a disc from an image previously saved to the hardrive [09:21] that's the one you'll be wanting then [09:23] will a a rewritable cdr work? [09:23] yep, that's what I used [09:24] should i learn to use freebsd? someone told me i should learn that first to "get it" as it's the hardest tolearn of all the distros === desti_T2 is now known as desti [09:27] !dutch [09:27] Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [09:31] nuvan? [09:33] so i download the image and then copy that unto the cd [09:37] yes [09:38] othe image you better usean good programme for that [09:38] Under windows theres some very good programs specifically designed to burn .iso images to disk. [09:38] i like 'burn at once' theres others :) [09:38] i'm using nero [09:38] Nero can do it. YOu need to use the menu items to burn image to disk.. I think its called. [09:38] I like The other tools. because they just do that one job. :) so its a little easier to do. [09:39] !iso [09:39] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [09:39] Hmm theres a factoid with a list of iso tools. [09:39] !burn [09:39] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [09:39] what about the freebsd issue? [09:39] should i try to learn that? [09:39] Not heard of any freebsd 'issue' [09:39] to really "get it" kubuntu that is [09:39] i mean [09:39] a friend toldme [09:39] i should learn that first [09:39] to really get it [09:40] before i switch to kubuntu [09:40] that freebsd is the hardest tolearn [09:40] distro [09:40] I dont see how it would help. Learning the Unix/command line fundamentals - would help in both cases. [09:40] freebsd is not even linux [09:40] It pays to learn the fundamentals. and learn how to learn/research/troubleshoot. [09:41] what is freebsd then? [09:41] it's a BSD [09:41] !bsd [09:41] Factoid bsd not found [09:41] !linux [09:41] Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux [09:42] Linux and BSD are both Unix-like operating systems [09:42] BSD is not using the linux kernel. Its similer in ways and uses a lot of the same tools. but its not linux. :) [09:42] Yea 'Unix-like' :) then ya got to ask 'whats unix' :) and now its time to get to the 'learn how to learn/research' fundamental. [09:43] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix :) [09:43] so kde and kubuntu are based on linux [09:43] not on unix [09:43] and linux is also not based on unix...RIGHT!? [09:43] kubuntu is kde based [09:43] linux IS based on unix [09:44] Personally I use ubuntu because I like gnome [09:44] and you can run KDE on BSD too [09:44] The thing to rember about linux/(and unix in general) it that it tends to be 'layers' of 'software' on layers, :) [09:44] Kde on top of X, on top of the core of the of, with the linux kernel at the bottom. [09:44] Bsd can have X and KDE, and so on also. [09:45] so wait, if kubuntu is based on kde and ubuntu and hteyre based on linux and linux is based on unix [09:45] then how would it hurt learning unix? [09:45] CostaRicanQuaker, kde is a desktop. [09:45] or is it a big waste of time and energy for a beginer? [09:45] and it does NOT hurt to learn unix. if you use/learn linux. in many ways you ARE learning UNIX. [09:45] at least parts of UNIX. [09:45] BSD has a different tool set to most Linux variants [09:46] I have a great many UNIX referance books in my Linux Library. [09:46] so i can start by kubuntu [09:46] or should i? [09:46] CostaRicanQuaker: doyou prefer gnome or kde? [09:47] CostaRicanQuaker, you have to start somewhere dont you. :) [09:47] i am switching to kubuntu because i met riddell ocne and it seemed like a good idea [09:47] i tried it years ago [09:47] CostaRicanQuaker, you plan on hitting the Hard-core slopes, or the bunny slopes first when you start skiing? :) [09:47] but then ended up not using it [09:47] now, i want ot switch from windows xp [09:47] to an open source [09:47] distro [09:47] but i want ot learn [09:47] The state of Linux over the last 3+ years has grown up expotentially. :) [09:48] Kubuntu wont stop you from learning. [09:48] i will start by learning kubuntu then i guess [09:48] My bash, and vi, and sed/awk/perl/ books/knowledge will still apply to a unix system, or bse [09:48] it seems the simplest [09:48] learning the Kde desktop will take just a day or 2. :) then some time to get used to it. [09:49] its the layers below the desktop that often are the most fun/profitable to learn about. [09:49] are these the "commands"? [09:49] i mean i want my girlfriend and i [09:49] to start using kubuntu together [09:49] thats the goal of ubuntu/kubuntu - make a linux disrto that an 'average' person can use. === michel is now known as mushu [09:50] but i've never understood all these commands that i remember were necessary [09:50] in kubuntu [09:50] If you want to dig deeper under the hood you can. === mushu is now known as mushuu [09:50] i want ot dig deeper [09:50] so that if eventually [09:50] she uses it [09:50] start with installing kubuntu, then read a few guides on bash, for a start. [09:50] i can take care of it [09:50] bash? [09:50] !bash [09:50] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [09:50] rember the golden rule.. google, and wiki pages are our friend. :) [09:50] rm -fr /* lùl [09:51] is it possible to run a system [09:51] without a desktop enviornment [09:51] mushuu: why did you post that? [09:51] CostaRicanQuaker, of course. [09:51] CostaRicanQuaker, rember the layers upon layers analogy. :) [09:51] i'd like to know why some people want me to type that [09:52] mushuu, they are trying to mess up your system. dont use that command. [09:52] how do you keep something in the background like a msn type program and open a folder and browse the internet without...windows or minimizing [09:52] ouch [09:52] thx :) [09:52] CostaRicanQuaker, the bash shell has full multitasking abilities. [09:52] so i could be doing all of these things and it would look like what? MSDOS-like' [09:53] CostaRicanQuaker, this has been around for years. :) since 1986 and probery earlier. [09:53] CostaRicanQuaker, all command line interfaces. is pretty much similer - they are just text. :) [09:53] type a command.. get output.. next command.. then you can get creative [09:53] except DOS is dumb [09:54] I recall freedos (or was it drdos) had multitasking DOS features. :) [09:54] can one run kubuntu in such way? [09:54] One can run all *nix systems that way CostaRicanQuaker [09:54] CostaRicanQuaker, Kubuntu = linux kernel + ubuntu + the kde desktop.. YOu just dotn run the desktop.. = you got just the shell. [09:54] cool [09:55] so if there's a problem [09:55] You could set up a minimal system with just the kernel, and a shell. [09:55] i can go directly to the core of things and fix it without colours or girly things on the screen? [09:55] YOu can always fall back to the lower layers. Ie the shell, to do work/trouble shooting. [09:55] great [09:55] if You know how to fix somthing. :) [09:55] do i download the .iso file like any regular file? [09:55] vs. winbdows.. where you just try weirs stuff.. and try to fix things in random/odd ways and lots of prayer. [09:56] the iso file is a normal file. its how you BURN it to cd that matters [09:56] well, i look at this like the straight edge/vegan thing, a lifelong commitment [09:56] so eventually i'll learn all of this unless i give up [09:56] Linux is a tool. YOu dont master every tool in 10 min. [09:56] Even the best carpenter, still hits his thumb every so often. :) [09:57] i mean [09:57] a lifetime [09:57] that's what imean...by thetime i'm dead [09:57] * ausage smiles (been there, done that... ouch) [09:57] or my girlfriend dies [09:57] i should be able to fix both our computers [09:57] right? [09:57] Given the # of OS's ive used over my lifetime... [09:57] depends on whats broke. :) [09:58] is there anything better than kubuntu? [09:58] how many distros have you used before kubuntu? [09:58] the Top issue ive had with Linux right now, is with 'very new' hardware. not being well supported. If you research your machines/hardware. Then its not much of an issue. [09:58] what Disrto to use - depends on your needs. Each tend tobe a little different focused. [09:59] Kubuntu/Ubuntu so far have been the 'best' for my needs on my Laptop. [09:59] Depends on what you want to do with it CostaRicanQuaker... I have used many distros, but have settled on Kubuntu as my preference. [09:59] I also use PuppyLinux for specific needs. [09:59] wait, so if she gets a new laptop, kubuntu won't install' [09:59] ?* [09:59] I just installed Kubuntu on my New laptop :) [09:59] took a little work to get the wireless going.. but its all working now. i think. [09:59] then i shouldn't worry about hardware being incompatible? [09:59] I need to check about the webcam. [10:00] CostaRicanQuaker, it can be an issue. Theres no getting around that. It all depends on the specifi hardware [10:00] ok, how do i make mirc log onto this server and chatroom by default [10:00] I dont use mIRC. i use other irc clients. [10:00] but most hardware will run with kubuntu [10:00] You need to take care... An easy way to find out is to boot the live CD... If that works, then Kubuntu will install [10:00] I have very few hardware issues . but theres lots of hardware out there. [10:01] !hardware [10:01] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [10:01] Major hardware problems I have encountered are with "made for Windows" devices... [10:01] right now the top hardware 'issues' in the chat rooms, are Wireless cards, video, and sound. [10:01] if my girl's computer is sort of old [10:01] ages ago 'winmodems' where the big issue. and cd burners. [10:01] it's likely that kubuntu will work on it right [10:01] old - is often good for linux. :) [10:02] define old. I have some 20+ yr old machines in the garrage. heh [10:02] great [10:02] i like that ideology [10:02] my girl for example [10:02] she's 23 years older than i am [10:02] Ive ran Ubuntu on a Pent 1 - 100mhxz laptop. [10:02] 0_o [10:02] what are the advantages of kubuntu? despite my probably not understanding it at this stage [10:03] Kubuntu is Ubuntu , with KDE installed by default, instead of gnome. [10:04] i assume gnome is another type of desktop? [10:04] 'ubuntu' is a Linux disrto designed to be useable by the common user, check ubuntu homepage for more specific 'design goals' [10:04] !gnome [10:04] gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop. [10:04] Advantages vs other Linux distros or Windows CostaRicanQuaker [10:04] And its TRIVIAL to have GNome and kde both on the same machine. :) you just pick what one to use at login. [10:04] so the gnome vs kde - argument is pointless.. YOu can try them both and use what you like. She may like gnome, you may like kde. [10:05] ausage: windows vs kubuntu and kubuntu vs distros [10:06] On any of my linux machines . I always have gnome and kde. Theres too many good apps from one or the other - that i like. for me to not have both. [10:07] on this page http://ftp.ucr.ac.cr/ubuntu-cd/kubuntu/hardy/ which link do i click on to download the alternate install pc? [10:07] Theres dozens of web sites with Linux vs windows type 'arguments' :) [10:07] so basiclaly the only thing that changes from kde to gnome is the look? [10:07] vs windows... Total cost of software on my systems = $0... Limitation... I can't play the latest and greatest win games... then again I have never tried... [10:07] http://ftp.ucr.ac.cr/ubuntu-cd/kubuntu/hardy/kubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso [10:07] CostaRicanQuaker, not just the look, but the feel. [10:08] thats weird. :) i was able to drag/drop the URL link from firefox to xchat... nevre done that befor.. heh [10:08] vs windows... average time between system crashes = 6 months or longer... [10:08] do i just save the file onto any random folder or create a folder for where i'm downloading hte iso to? [10:08] Hi ^^ [10:08] CostaRicanQuaker, err..you are going to burn it to iso anyway.. so it dosent matter where you save it to, [10:09] just rember where. :) [10:09] vs other distros: Stable... Regular updates... Large base of apps available... [10:09] kubuntu will be there in 50years right? [10:09] vs other distros: Simple install procedure [10:10] Ubuntu vs windows - > http://www.informationweek.com/news/software/linux/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=199201179 seems detailed [10:10] CostaRicanQuaker, no idea.. LINUX will most likely be here in 50 years... [10:10] in 50 years i will be 90 yrs old. :) [10:10] but it's better i learn kubuntu first and hten linux right? [10:10] you're five years younger than my girl [10:11] CostaRicanQuaker, there really is no learning one OR the other.. the core underlaying fundamentals , like the shell and so forth..knowledge is applicable to both os's [10:11] it says it'll be downloading for one hour and 40 min [10:11] If you learn bash, you will know bash on all os's that have bash. :) [10:11] Who knows CostaRicanQuaker.... Unix has been around about 50 years, Windows just under 20, Linux the same.. [10:12] bash was like the type of console where you type commands right? like if i was tank in the matrix [10:12] !bash [10:12] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [10:13] Bash is thestandard 'shell' on most linux distros [10:13] bash is the most popular command line shell CostaRicanQuaker... Every *nix runs it [10:13] Bash is the default shell on most GNU/Linux systems as well as on Mac OS X and it can be run on most Unix-like operating systems. [10:13] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash [10:13] !*nix [10:13] Factoid nix not found [10:14] ? [10:14] what's *nix [10:14] *nix = Unix like [10:14] * = a wildcard. :) [10:14] so all of these depend on unix? [10:14] Covers all the varieties if unix and similar systems. [10:14] like windows on msdos? [10:14] They are all similerto/ideas taken from Unix [10:15] Windows has not been depending on DOS since XP, i belive.. [10:15] * Dr_willis_ dosent want to start that old argument again. :) [10:15] dr willis: what country are you in? it's 3:17 am where i'm at [10:15] its 5 am here. [10:15] where? [10:15] I am in Indiana. USA [10:15] i'm in costa rica [10:15] great [10:15] so i can ask your guidance if i come here with doubts [10:17] Im in here all the time..but at THIS specific time i am normally at work. [10:17] Its the weekend. :) [10:17] will ibe able to do everything i can do in windows [10:17] with kubuntu? [10:17] i'm concerned mostly about p2p file sharing [10:17] and i remmeber that somehow with some emulator or something years ago [10:18] i was able to open my mp3s in the windows partition from kubuntu [10:18] I can play most anything ive ever been able to track down/download - under Linux just fine. [10:18] p2p is easy [10:19] I can play more videos under linux then i can under windows actually. :) [10:19] what's sh? [10:19] sh = bourne shell [10:19] sh is the default 'system' shell, a less feature full shell. [10:19] bash = borne again shell [10:19] under kubuntu/ubuntu 'dash' is the specific sh variant used. [10:20] ksh = korn shell [10:20] many other disrtos use 'bash' as their system shell. [10:21] ausage: where are you locateD? [10:21] Toronto [10:22] I maintain a bunch of Linux servers for small business here... [10:23] cool [10:23] my former girl was from peterborough ontario [10:23] It's an easy job and I can work from home... [10:24] "Shell scripts written with Bash-specific features (bashisms) will not function on a system using the Bourne shell or one of its replacements" [10:24] i don't get that [10:24] BASH has features not in the normal bourne shell [10:25] It called evolution... the bourne shell was the first shell... then came the csh shell... then ksh... then bash... [10:25] is kubuntu better than ubuntu or they're both the same? what's the dif? [10:25] thus if you use bash specific features.. [10:25] CostaRicanQuaker, kubuntu = ubuntu + kde instead of gnome. [10:25] so its just the desktop 'layer' thats different [10:25] what do you mean by feel dr willis? [10:25] Go get a gnome live cd, and a kde live cd. and try them both out.. or just install gnome and kde both on your system. and try each one. [10:26] The only diff is the windowing system... and as Dr_willis said its easy to run both [10:26] Its allthe little differances in a desktop. :) [10:26] I perfer kde. but some of the gnome configuration tools are better designed. [10:26] * ausage agrees with Dr_willis [10:26] CostaRicanQuaker, also there ARE alternatives to gnome and kde. :) Ive been running 'jwm' and the 'rox desktop' lately [10:27] Linux does not tie you down - like windows does. [10:27] One of the advantages of Linux is choice... [10:27] so theyre all ubuntu at the core [10:27] and have a different look [10:27] Moin [10:27] CostaRicanQuaker, there are a dozen+ ubuntu variants [10:27] and "feel" whatever that means [10:27] they have different 'desktops' [10:27] That's about it CostaRicanQuaker [10:27] which is hte simplest? [10:27] and you could install any of those desktops on the same machine [10:28] gnome claims its simpiler.. others claim gnome is so simple its crippled. [10:28] KDE functions and looks very similar to Windows... [10:28] So i always install both gnome and kde. [10:28] is there a place where i can look at screenshots of both? [10:28] windowslike is good for my girl [10:28] ya got windows, ya got a panel, ya got a button with list of apps... :) [10:28] she's used windows allher life [10:28] gnome-look.org kde-look.org [10:30] Another advantage of Linux = source code is available so if you want to tweak it or change it or fix it .,.. you can [10:30] what do youmean by crippled ? === pascalFR is now known as PascalFR [10:31] lacking in features [10:32] very often simple = made simple by removing options [10:32] such as? [10:34] Go get both and see for yourself. [10:34] will i need a huge screen for this? [10:34] for what exactly? [10:34] i'm just concerned about which ismore windowslike friendly for my girl [10:34] well the pictures look like on a huge screen [10:35] insead of start, its got a different looking button, and so forth.. the whole 'windows like' argument is rather pointless. Its not hard to learn gnome, or kde, or windows. [10:35] Screen shots are often made to look 'nice' :) [10:35] then KDE seems like the way to go [10:36] Screen size is just a convience CostaRicanQuaker... Some of the remote systems I maintain have just an old 640x480 screen... some don't have a display attached.. [10:38] CostaRicanQuaker, it takes me all of 10 min to get gnome going on my newly installed Kubuntu system. :) or 10 min to get Kde installed on my Newly Installed Ubuntu system. So its not worth worrying about. [10:38] KDE i say [10:39] install both, try them out.. see what one you tend to use most. [10:39] I use kde, but i often run gnome-specific apps/tools. [10:40] if she has a flashdrive [10:40] will she be able to save things on her [10:40] thingy and thenopen them from a windows computer [10:41] SHould be able to. [10:42] is it easier burning cds/dvdrs? [10:43] I have puppylinux, it can install to and boot from a USB thumbdrive [10:43] Hard to get much easier then flash drives. [10:43] i do that with hardy [10:43] flaccid_, never had much luck with Ubuntu/other disrtos and booting from USB gizmos.

Plugins..... Scan for new plugins [10:45] and it doesn't work [10:45] but i have flash plugin in firefox [10:45] !enter | Kitu [10:45] Kitu: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:46] i copy/paste some commands :( [10:46] Flash and Konqueror have been having issues for ages it seems. I never use konq as my main browser. So cant help much [10:46] that !flash url may have some info [10:46] DR willis what is GNU? [10:46] !flash [10:46] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [10:47] GNU stands for 'GNUs Not Unix' [10:47] ok [10:47] !gnu | CostaRicanQuaker [10:47] CostaRicanQuaker: G(NU's) N(ot) U(nix). A project that aimed to develop a complete operating system of Free Software, which Ubuntu is based on. See http://gnu.org [10:47] google for 'gnu wiki' :) [10:47] Kitu: in plugins in konqueror configuration, add folder /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree and then select scan [10:47] is it different than linux kernel? does kubuntu have to do with it? [10:48] GNU Is a whole nother area. :) linux uses a lot of the GNU tools [10:49] flaccid_, that does'nt work [10:49] ANd no we wont have an argument here if it should really be called "GNU/Linux, vs just Linux" :) [10:49] Kitu: works for me. explain why please [10:49] !doesntwork | Kitu [10:49] Kitu: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [10:50] lol [10:50] flaccid_, flash animations don't display if you prefer [10:51] according to the !dosentwork factoid...my wife !dosentwork [10:51] :) [10:51] after you select scan, does it detect the plugin and put it in the netscape plugin list, Kitu ? [10:51] Ubuntu and Kubuntu are distributions of the GNU/Linux system. Linux is the kernel that run the operating systems on the computer. The Free Software Foundations (aka GNU) developed all the language compilers, libraries and utilities that make a complete operating system. Then other people, apache foundation, Larry Wall (perl), mysql and thousands of other add more and more layers on top of that [10:52] yes ... libflashplay.so with 2 plugins when i deploy [10:52] so gnu is an OS that uses the linux kernel [10:52] libflashplayer.so* [10:52] CostaRicanQuaker, good joke [10:52] :) [10:53] Mark Shuttleworth started Unbuntu to take the Debian distribution and provide a stable system with frequent updates and easy installation and commercial support [10:53] the GNU tools a large part of what makes up an OS. they are working on their own kernel. [10:53] Kitu: what are the locations of all the libflashplayer.s plugins listed in that list of netscape plugins? === root is now known as Guest89227 [10:54] flaccid_, /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/ ..

[10:56] Kitu: also paste this command here please: /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so [10:56] flaccid_, sorry, yes only [10:57] kiki@kiki-desktop:~$ /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so [10:57] bash: /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so: Permission non accordée [10:57] don't have permission :( [10:57] Kitu: i mean what is the output of command: ls -l /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so [10:57] Kitu: sorry i left part of the command out [10:57] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8115888 2008-05-31 12:15 /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so [10:58] it's good ? [10:58] Kitu: close konqueror, open a konsole and then run konqueror from it then when loaded goto http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ and ignore the shockwave dialog. if the flash player applet fails to load pastebin the whole output from konsole [10:58] Kitu: looks fine [10:59] i lauch konqueror from console ? [10:59] i must* [11:00] ah ok [11:00] yes so we can get the errors if there are any [11:02] flaccid_, http://rafb.net/p/zJV7Ec44.html [11:02] but flash display on adobe url ... [11:02] it works? [11:03] but not on deezer.com for example [11:03] can i please have the exact URI for the page in question, Kitu? [11:03] !work flaccid_ [11:03] Factoid work flaccid_ not found [11:03] :) [11:03] flaccid_, www.deezer.com [11:04] on the welcome [11:04] (index) [11:04] !enter | Kitu [11:04] Kitu: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [11:04] oh sorry [11:04] looking now.. [11:05] looking now what ? [11:06] at the url. its working for me, mind you their flash seems a bit heavy to load [11:06] yes i think that i have a bad version [11:06] bad version of what? [11:06] another url say that : You need to upgrade your Flash Player and/or turn on javascript. You can bypass this detection if you wish. [11:07] is it easy to migrate from a windows server 2003 active directory to ldap [11:07] of flash player [11:07] no you have the latest and it appears to be fine [11:07] but wtf ? [11:07] you can't do much if a site cannot code to standards or their flash applet has issues [11:08] flaccid_, but konqueror version of ubuntu is not the lastest [11:08] i have ubuntu not kubuntu [11:08] what version of konqueror are you using? and that usually won't matter [11:08] that doesn't matter either. why do you think it does, specifically? [11:08] 3.5.9 [11:09] im also using that version. [11:09] can you show me an actual example URL where flash doesnt work? [11:09] because to do worked some kde application i have installed kde4, not basic version of ubuntu [11:10] im not sure what you mean. but it makes no difference. flash is an embedded object. [11:10] if you need javascript and its off, turn it on and if it is on then the problem is with the developer of the site in question [11:11] flaccid_, youtube don't work [11:11] !doesntwork [11:11] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.

[13:11] Bauldrick, i have no issues with printing. sorry no idea on that. [13:12] system366, for gui apps you do NOT NOT NOT use 'sudo' [13:12] you use kdesudo, [13:12] ohhhhhhh [13:12] !sudo [13:12] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [13:12] still doesnt work [13:12] kdesu = kdesudo I think also now a days. :) [13:12] you are using your initial user? [13:12] it says cannot connect to startx server [13:13] im using my main uername but i put su in the console n log as root [13:13] you enabled the root password then? [13:13] yes [13:13] after you 'su' you dont kdesudo , or others stuff like that ... [13:13] you need to kdesudo as your initial/logged in user [13:13] if i try to login as root at the login screen its say Root login not allowed [13:14] root logins are not allowed in the kdmrc configs.. correct. [13:14] well as root i cant even just type dolphin [13:14] it says cannot connect to startx server [13:14] login as user, open shell, kdesudo dolphin [13:14] dont use su, or other stuff first [13:15] nope [13:15] it say [13:15] Unable to Resolve host DaveNet [13:15] i get the same from sudo [13:15] no matter where i use it [13:16] How can i enable root login please? or is not possible in Kubuntu? it worked fine when i had Ubuntu installed [13:16] did you change your hostname recently? [13:16] You edit the kdm config to allow X logins [13:17] nope i only formatted day b4 yesterday and set hostname to DaveNet havnt changed it... it wont even let me change it XD [13:17] setting the hostname improperly after instal can break the sudo command. [13:17] can u tell me what to do change the conf plz? [13:17] I dont have kdm installed right now. so cant. [13:17] well it hasnt been changed, i cant even if i wnat to =/ [13:17] I perfer to sudo -s, to root, and use 'mc' as my root file manager [13:18] can you 'sudo -s' to get a root shell? [13:18] in certain things it has a button for administration mode [13:18] if i click that it just reopens the windows still in normal user mode [13:18] ill try [13:18] nope [13:19] same thing [13:19] sudo: unable to resolve host DaveNet [13:19] sounds like you somehow goofed up the hostname/hosts file [13:19] !hostname [13:19] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly.

[13:25] ah crap... ummm... how can i change my hostname in a rooted console? i cnat do it in the gui as it wont give me root access to anything [13:25] hostname command changes the hostname [13:25] go to the console and login as root. [13:25] Dragnslcr: i mean, will the final of kde4.1 be in the kubuntu hardy repos? [13:26] gnumm- same repository as the betas and release candidates [13:26] Yes! ty! sudo works now :) [13:27] Dragnslcr: so not int he official kubuntu repos? [13:27] Not in the standard repositories, no [13:27] but still in root i cannot start gui apps from the console [13:27] Only in the ppa repository [13:27] ah [13:27] system366- make sure you're using kdesu instead of sudo [13:27] brb, loggin in new user [13:27] root@system366-desktop:/home/system366# dolphin& [13:27] [1] 9255 [13:27] root@system366-desktop:/home/system366# No protocol specified [13:27] dolphin: cannot connect to X server :0.0 [13:28] oh [13:29] still wont work [13:29] root@system366-desktop:/home/system366# kdesu dolphin& [13:29] [1] 9281 [13:29] root@system366-desktop:/home/system366# No protocol specified [13:29] kdesu: cannot connect to X server :0.0 [13:30] something si blocking to from loading x server??/ :S [13:30] is* --- it* [13:30] Dragnslcr: this is something i can't understand [13:30] system366: because you're root [13:30] system366: use kdesu to start GUI apps as root, no a root shell [13:31] *not [13:31] Dragnslcr: they let the unstable 4.0 kde in kubuntu instead of upgraden to a stable desktop envirement [13:31] ohhhhhhhhhh [13:31] yay! ty it worked :) [13:32] gnumm: 4.0 is not unstable, it's a stable release, even if _you_ don't think so [13:33] system366, kdesu dolphin& <---------- You DO need a space befor the & also. [13:34] I think. [13:34] :) [13:34] it just looks wrong without the space. heh [13:34] gnumm- well, KDE 4.0 was available when 8.04 was released. KDE 4.1 wasn't [13:34] Dr_willis: bash interprets the &, kdesu never even sees it :) [13:34] s/bash/the shell/ [13:34] nah doesnt work with the space still [13:34] gnumm- I don't think Ubuntu ever adds new versions (i.e. not patches for bug fixes) in the middle of a release [13:34] but it works fine when not in root shell [13:35] and all my other apps are working fine now [13:35] system366: kde4 dolphin? [13:35] Thhanks guys! [13:35] kde4 dolphin wa? :S [13:35] Dr_willis, the new user doesn't have the problem, and i remembered i use konqueror as file explorer as i didn't like dolphin, but also after i set the new user to open folders in konqueror i didn't get message boxes, but still on my old user. i just realised, when i rightclick a folder, select properties, and click the wrench button for how-to-open-config, i get the same messagebox under my old user, but not under the new one [13:35] Dragnslcr: which version of kde4 is actually in the kubuntu repos? does it work well? [13:36] system366: there is a KDE3 dolphin and a KDE4 dolphin [13:36] how do i check which im using? :S [13:36] gnumm- I believe 4.0.4 is the current version in the standard repository [13:37] Dr_willis_, i also get a bunch of those message boxes after starting a session in the old user, any idea what to look for ? [13:37] gnumm: 4.0.3 (4.0.5 in backports) [13:37] system366: are you in a kde3 session or a kde4 session?

Ive had issues befor with old homes and old settings. [13:38] system366: did you install kde4 manually? if not then you'd be in kde3 [13:38] !ldap [13:38] LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. For more information and installation instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer [13:38] system366: and make sure you run kdesu from your account, not a root shell [13:38] ummmm... i just installed hardy herron off the disc... [13:38] then it's kde3 [13:38] is kde4 better? [13:39] it's newer [13:39] Dr_willis_, oh well, at least thanks to you i now know it's a config issue, anyone else got an idea how to fix this maybe ? [13:39] does it look better or worse? or is the update more for compatibility than for looks? [13:39] does anyone know if its easy to migrate from a windows based active directory server to a linux based ldap does the stuff migrate over easily from windows to linux [13:39] system366: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/54/KDE_4.png <- KDE 4 [13:41] looks ugly to me or is that just coz of the configuration the person has put on? :P [13:42] kwin-kde4 fails to upgrade in adept - does anyone have any ideas why? [13:42] system366: that's the basic default, it's extremely configurable/theme-able [13:42] !kwin-#kubuntu-kde4 | llp78 [13:42] llp78: In KDE4 Beta1 the kwin-kde4 package has been replaced with the kde-window-manager package. It is fine if the package manager wants to remove kwin-kde4 and install kde-window-manager [13:42] so... sorry aber gerade war dann meine netzwerkkarte auch noch abgekackt ^; [13:43] !de | h0d3n_ [13:43] h0d3n_: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [13:43] ooo... how do i install kde4? also any1 knnow how i can install my GFX card? :P i here its tricky XD [13:43] sorry, wrong window ;) [13:44] how can I put compiz and emerald to start together with my kubuntu, without having to install "fusion icon"? [13:45] stdin: do you know much about ldap [13:45] system366: to install kde4 see http://kubuntu.org/ (first 2 announcements). as for graphics drivers, the hardware drivers manager should be able to install it. go to KMenu -> System -> Hardware Drivers Manager [13:45] eagles0513875: next to nothing except that it exists [13:45] I've got pidgin set to play a sound when i get a message - but it don't. Is anybody else having this issue? [13:46] eagles0513875: ubottu tells me https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer when I ask it about ldap [13:46] stdin: reason i ask is i am trying to find out how easy it is and if there are any compatibility issues if i take data off a windows 2k3 active directory can i import it onto an ldap server [13:47] eagles0513875: I've never had to deal with ldap/active directory (thankfully), so I don't know [13:47] eagles0513875: I guess there's always ##linux for a general question like that [13:48] stdin: reason im asking i might get the go ahead to setup an ldap based server at my school so i was just wondering [13:48] stdin: thanks [13:48] oh wow its all working! u people are like god :P [13:48] is it ok that im installing my card with loadsa windows n stuff open? [13:49] this is not windows, we don't need you to "close any open windows" just to install some software ;) [13:49] it says i need to restart my computer... do i need full restart or can i just crtl+alt+bkSpace and log back in? [13:50] system366, you'll probably need to do a full reboot. it usually needs to rebuild kernel modules if it asks for a reboot [13:50] you can logout, and choose to "Restart the X server" from the menu, or just reboot. but reboot is recommended to make sure the kernel sees the new driver [13:50] ctrl-alt-backspace is not a good way to restart the X server [13:50] or what he said, i'm coming in late here [13:50] it's dirty and people should stop recommending it [13:51] ooo ok. one more question about this kde4 [13:51] is kde4.1 more stable than 4.0.4? [13:51] hmmm [13:51] 4.0.5 even [13:52] im confused... which one is the latest? 4.1 beta or 4.0.5? :S [13:52] 4.1 hasn't been released yet, it's Beta 1 right now, so the answer is "no" [13:52] so i shud install 4.0.5? [13:52] 4.0.5 is more stable that 4.1 beta 1, so yeah [13:53] does it have the same look tho? ;) [13:53] or same basic look more of [13:53] it's default look is like what you saw in the screen shot, but you can change that [13:54] Woots great! [13:54] I've got pidgin set to play a sound when i get a message - but it don't. Is anybody else having this issue? [13:55] Woots great!GNU or Linux :) [13:56] ok that messege got messed up [13:57] i just saw something on a webpage thaat says GNU or Linux... so heres the super noob questions... What is GnU and what is Linux? :D [13:58] system366, grab wikipdeia - they can answer that better than we can [13:58] ooo good idea :P [13:58] system366, simple answer gnu is a group and linux is a product [13:58] Linux is the kernel, the very core on which everything else runs, the GNU part is the basic tools. the whole thing (generally called just Linux) is GNU/Linux [13:58] ohhhhhhhh ok now i get it :p [13:59] i should dye my hair blond and get a sex change XD [14:00] After i reboot and the graphics card finishes the install... will i then be able to use beryl an compiz n avant window manager kind of things? [14:01] not beryl, beryl and compiz were merged to make "compiz-fusion". but yeah [14:01] so i can use compiz-fusion? :S [14:01] if you want, sure [14:02] Woot! [14:02] i tried all this in ubuntu 7.04 about 2 years ago and lost a hard drive to it XD [14:02] so much easyer in hardy :O [14:02] alot more support [14:03] that was a whole year ago, where have you been? :p [14:03] things move fast in the world of linux [14:03] if install the gnome gui along side kde will my graphics card still be installed if i loogin on Gnome or will i have to install it there seperatly? [14:03] hi! how do you add a new application "multimedia" and how do you change the icon of tha file? [14:03] hi, i get message boxes after sessionstart and when opening folders : "could not find mime type application/octet-stream" on kde3 under kubuntu hardy (8.04) since the last update, seems to be a config problem, it doesn't happen with a newly created user, anyone got an idea ? [14:04] i been in windows coz i got a wireless card which wouldnt work in gutsy... now in hardy it worked str8 away :D no install or anything :P [14:04] system366: it's independent of what desktop environment you choose to use, you only need to install it once [14:04] system366: both kde/gnome are just toolkits on top of X11 - which is the graphics protocol, and XFree86/Xorg which is the implemenation of the protocol === kubuntu is now known as Kizedek [14:05] system366: it's a vastly different system to windoze. The graphics card support is done by the Xorg 'X-server' [14:05] woots thanks! yall rule! [14:05] oh yes [14:05] system366: wow lucky you [14:05] 1 more problem but ill wait for these updates n then install kde4 and reboot b4 i start another thing [14:05] .. which implements the X11 protocol - and allows x 'clients' aka 'the programs' to connect to it. [14:05] to many windows up atm XD [14:05] system366: it took me at leat 12 hours to get kubuntu to function with my 80 USD dollar dlink wireless pci [14:06] and its not even working 100% [14:06] am i right that if i try to install something and it lists dependancies that i have to install those dependancies via apt-geet install? [14:06] the BIG problem with linux is you gotta pick and choose hardware a bit. [14:06] lols [14:06] system366: if you apt-get install a program, it automagically installs dependencies [14:07] my half bro hates dlink and hes a super linnux nerd but hes busy atm with his computer bussiness so i decided to come here [14:07] how do you add a new application to "multimedia" and how do you change the icon of tha file? [14:07] system366: why on earth does he "hate" dlink? [14:07] they suck apparently :D [14:07] golb23 [14:07] i think if u right click kmenu then edit menu u can find it there sumwer [14:08] ghoulsblade: from Konqueror, go to Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> File Associations and click the "Add" button. for Group, select "application" and for the type name put "octet-stream" (no quotes) [14:08] ghoulsblade: that should fix it then [14:08] system366: hmm lets se [14:08] see* [14:09] stdin, thanks, i'll try [14:09] Does anyone have a broadcom wireless card which is working with kubuntu? [14:09] yay it works, thanks stdin =D [14:10] :) [14:11] system366: no joy :/ [14:14] sapete dirmi se esiste un programma simile a nokia pc siute per linux?'

[19:17] run the terminal, then su [19:17] ok [19:17] thanks [19:17] no, sudo -s [19:17] su is disabled [19:17] or Alt+F2, "kdesudo konsole" [19:17] you may have to sudo passwd tho to set a password to enable you to su [19:18] conscience: don't do that [19:18] what ?? [19:18] conscience: just use sudo -s [19:18] conscience: what solid_liq is saying... you don't have to enable the root user, so you shouldn't enable it [19:18] epimeth: he wanted to know how to run the whole terminal as root, which means using su [19:18] conscience: just use sudo -s if you need a root shell [19:19] solid_liq: or using sudo -s [19:19] either way [19:19] ok thanks [19:20] conscience: and if you want to just run konqueror, then alt+f2 kdesu konqueror [19:21] ok [19:21] thanks [19:22] * solid_liq started using linux with redhat 4.0 back in the '90s, and so is used to just using su [19:22] epimeth: whats the difference between sudo -s and sudo -i? [19:23] The -s (shell) option runs the shell specified by the SHELL environment variable if it is set or the shell as specified in passwd(5). [19:23] The -i (simulate initial login) option runs the shell specified in the passwd(5) entry of the user that the command is being run as. The command name argument given to the shell begins with a `-' to tell the shell to run as a login shell. sudo attempts to change to that user's home directory before running the shell. It also initializes the environment, leaving TERM unchanged, setting HOME, SHELL, USER, LOGNAME, and PATH, and [19:23] unsetting all other environment variables. Note that because the shell to use is determined before the sudoers file is parsed, a runas_default setting in sudoers will specify the user to run the shell as but will not affect which shell is actually run. [19:23] Rioting_pacifist: sudo -i is like su - [19:23] or in other words.... [19:23] Rioting_pacifist: sudo -i is like su - [19:23] Rioting_pacifist: rtfm, amigo....

[19:23] but sudo -s is like su without the - [19:24] Rioting_pacifist: bottom line, -i means "execute the bashrc scripts", -s means "don't" [19:24] I've managed to set to 1440x900 by inserting that in the subsection display, but I don't know how to the frequency to 60 [19:25] hi, i'm tryng to connect with telephone bluetooth, i'm using wvdial but i recive this error --> Cannot open /dev/rfcomm0: Function not implemented [19:25] Schuenemann: hi what refresh rate are u using now? [19:25] !bluetooth [19:25] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [19:25] Rioting_pacifist: or more accurately, -i means setup your shell environment to be the same as if you'd directly logged in as the user you're switching to, but -s means keep your environment from the current user when switching to the new user [19:25] epimeth: and that means i should be using -i for the same reasons i use kdesudo or -s because i dont need to wory about kdesudo stuf as im not using a GUI?

[21:24] wpa doesn't work for me, but open networks do :( [21:24] but luckily, I connect to an open network [21:24] system settings -> size, orientation, and positioning [21:25] thanks [21:25] system settings -> monitor & display [21:25] hola gente [21:25] me leen [21:26] necesito ayudaa :) [21:26] lars, oops, doesn't look like I have that installed, maybe I should install kubuntu instead of running ubuntu with kde :/ [21:26] hrm... [21:26] I think... there is a way to apt in kubuntu's stuff [21:27] !spanish [21:27] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [21:27] RabidWeezle: sorry i told you kinda wrong it is system settings -> monitor & display -> orientation, and positioning [21:27] yeah, ubuntu with kde installed don't show that at all, must be a kubuntu only thing [21:28] not your fault lars [21:28] my menu is like way different, but lemme see if I can install kubuntu's stuff over ubuntu's stuff [21:29] woo [21:29] RabidWeezle: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [21:29] * RabidWeezle does the kubuntu dance [21:32] can anyone help me with partitions ? [21:32] I have installed kubuntu through wubi === spyke is now known as spyketomato [21:33] i have three drives. i want to merge em all into one and keep dual boot dual with vista and kubuntu [21:33] any ideas how i can do that ? [21:33] can anyone help me troubleshoot my sound? Working on a fresh install of hardy (kde 3.5.9) and sound WAS working when i first rebooted, now it's not, but a lot can happen in the three hours I've been configuring ;) [21:34] what did you configure spyketomato ? [21:34] helpy: i've never used it. but the kubuntu installer allows for dual boots. don't know if it'll work on multiple drives though [21:34] no no i already have dual boot [21:34] helpy: i didn't think i configured anything that had to do with sound... the only thing I can think of is when I installed a couple more media players (mplayer, totem...) [21:35] i have three drives. i just want to keep one drive. 120 gb in one [21:35] umm so now you play songs and it doesnt work ? [21:35] spyketomato: please google things before you come to us. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 it is ubuntu but it is done in a console [21:35] i wonder how do you do that in gparted rav [21:35] thanks lars [21:36] helpy: sorry, never used gparted [21:36] hmm ok [21:36] How about i format whole hard disk and then install windows and kubuntu through wubi ? [21:36] but i dont want to lose my configurations [21:38] helpy: i've only done one dual boot, and I used the partition editor from the installer. i first defragmented the hdd many many times to pack all the windows stuff on the front, then resized the partition during installation [21:40] can you combine all partitions to one at the time of installation ? [21:40] or can i use vista partition manager to format all drives into one ? [21:41] all partition to one u can [21:41] actually the drive that i have installed kubuntu is only 20 gb and i am out of space now [21:41] i need to install microsoft office in WINE [21:41] helpy: yes, but the contents will be erased. to preserve contents you'll have to edit the partition table [21:41] OOo not good? [21:41] i dont mind about contents. they're all backed up [21:41] OOo sucks [21:41] i lose all formatting [21:41] tables never display right. [21:42] and no advance tools like references and APA [21:42] helpy: then you should be fine, using the manual option in the partitioning part of the installer. but i'm talking of the regular kubuntu installer. I've never used wubi [21:42] i dont have kubuntu cd [21:42] i downloaded iso and ran wubi [21:43] can't burn it on dvd, something with my lousy dvd writer [21:44] I have a digital camera ChameleonMega and I am trying to connect to my kubuntu [21:44] help [21:44] I have a CD but is for XP [21:45] i think there is some package called cheese something elbasan. google it [21:45] elbasan: have you tried digikam? [21:45] yes [21:45] elbasan: plug it in and turn the cam on. In most cases it will detect it as a camera, or a flash drive [21:45] but I dont see my camera name on the list [21:46] I have my camera connect to my computer but nothing [21:47] on digiKam their is a Auto-Detect I clik on that but I get fail to detect the camera [21:48] any Idea === root is now known as Guest55176 [21:56] has anyone every managed to use the b43 module for wireless? [21:58] rav: Not successfully so far. [21:59] I use b43 just fine on 8.04* [21:59] It gives me a wlan0 that shows various settings but won't configure. [21:59] jhutchins: are you using 2.6.24-19-generic? [21:59] i see a wlan0, that doesn't even scan. [22:00] 2.6.24.4-laptop [22:00] Mandriva [22:01] Yeah, that's the problem I have, it won't scan. [22:02] Also, the Inspiron hotkeys won't turn it on and off. [22:02] which revision of what bcm? [22:04] hi, i installed kubuntu in a partition, in the other partition is ubuntu, but i cant manage to mount that partition what do i have to do so i can acces ubuntu from the grub??? [22:05] modinfo says 2.6.24.4 - oh, hardware.CM4318 [AirForce One 54g] rev 02 [22:06] i have the same card, on the kernel from Kubuntu CD, i think it is 2.6.24-16. I'm updating everything, see if that fixes it [22:07] does any1 use MicroSim package? PScpice? [22:08] rav: It's a real pain, there are three drivers, bcm43xx, ndiswrapper, and b43. [22:08] and why cant i join electronics channel-... [22:09] jhutchings: i've used ndiswrapper succesfuly on that card, on a relative old kernel. once b43 and ssb modules came out, it broke. but i just found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=738216 [22:11] hola [22:12] if using the latest kernel doesn't fix it, it'll try that [22:15] Greets, everyone... [22:21] I think one of the problems is that none of the various ways of dealing with it put the firmware in the same place. === FoxI2 is now known as FoxIII [22:43] How do I restart mysql via command line?
