| genii | sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 00:07 |
| psyco | yup that | 00:07 |
| vloideh | how i can put more channels on konversations? | 00:07 |
| vipex | So i do it from konsole | 00:08 |
| vipex | ? | 00:08 |
| genii | vipex: Yes | 00:08 |
| vipex | sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre-java6-plugin ? | 00:09 |
| genii | psyco: Searching the kde site produces no satisfactory answer to resizing syste tray icons, unfortunately. | 00:10 |
| genii | *system | 00:10 |
| genii | vipex: No | 00:10 |
| genii | vipex: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 00:10 |
| vipex | ok | 00:10 |
| vloideh | i want more channels please | 00:10 |
| genii | vloideh: You join whatever other channels by: /j #channelname | 00:12 |
| vloideh | thanks but i dont know the list of channels | 00:13 |
| Ninjara | 8.04 - Changed ssh_config with "ForwardX11Trusted no" for security reasons, but now remote clients run a bunch slower, and resolution/depth on images and such is very low. How do I tweak the restrictions imposed on remote clients (using 'ssh -X user@host somecommand'') ? | 00:13 |
| Ninjara | Especially getting the clients back up to speed. | 00:14 |
| genii | vloideh: Usually you have an idea of what channel you want to go to :) Getting a channel list takes much resources and is discouraged. | 00:14 |
| genii | vloideh: That said F5 will give a list | 00:14 |
| vipex | thx genii now my firefox got java:) | 00:15 |
| genii | vipex: You're welcome | 00:15 |
| vloideh | thx, on my list of channels only i can see this channel | 00:16 |
| genii | Ninjara: Try -C switch of ssh | 00:17 |
| Ninjara | Tried, no difference. | 00:17 |
| Ninjara | It worked fine without compression when they ran as trusted, anyhow. | 00:17 |
| Ninjara | I'm just thinking there has to be a restriction forced on the untrusted clients that makes them run this slow. | 00:18 |
| genii | Ninjara: There's no other options which can be passed through ssh then regarding connection speed. | 00:18 |
| Ninjara | All I wanted was really to prevent remote clients from reading keyboard input and accessing other winddows, allowing them otherwise normal behaviour is fine. | 00:18 |
| Ninjara | hrm | 00:18 |
| Ninjara | I assumed it was an X-security specific thing.. vaguely hoping someone around is familiar enough with it to give me a friendly pointer ;o) | 00:19 |

| nyuu_ | my problem is | 00:45 |
| VipeX | I know tht but its not working? | 00:45 |
| nyuu_ | genii: I had installed mplayer with svc | 00:45 |
| nyuu_ | genii: but I couldn't do that correctly | 00:45 |
| genii | You mean svn? | 00:45 |
| nyuu_ | yea ^^ sorry | 00:46 |
| nyuu_ | I am newbie | 00:46 |
| genii | nyuu_: Just install from Add/Remove Programs | 00:46 |
| nyuu_ | I want to watch hd1080 movies, but now my mplayer has gone | 00:46 |
| nyuu_ | now, I want to make a clean install | 00:46 |
| nyuu_ | how can I do it | 00:46 |
| candive | did you not install os | 00:47 |
| nyuu_ | ok :S | 00:47 |
| genii | nyuu_: In Konsole: sudo dpkg -r mplayer; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install mplayer | 00:47 |

| === ubuntu__ is now known as bella96793 | ||
| candive | nyuu, start, system, konsole | 00:49 |
| nyuu_ | why didn't u use the ' &&' thing? | 00:49 |
| nyuu_ | and what is the dpkg -r thing? | 00:50 |
| bonbonthejon | are other people starting to get ata errors | 00:50 |
| candive | nyuu,follow instructions carefully please | 00:50 |
| genii | nyuu_: You could use && if you like. It doesn't really matter. And dpkg is the backend program which package manager like Adept or Synaptic or apt-get uses | 00:51 |
| nyuu_ | hmm | 00:51 |
| nyuu_ | but it didn't change anything | 00:51 |
| nyuu_ | ok I will try to find a way but at first I want to ask a question | 00:51 |
| nyuu_ | how can I make a script with bash codes | 00:52 |
| psyco | Does anyoen know how to fix the black menus in Baghira??? | 00:52 |
| VipeX | Genii:Nothing anymore its working..:) | 00:52 |
| nyuu_ | I want to make a 'bash' script to use it whenever I want | 00:52 |
| bonbonthejon | psyco: I don't know your particular problem, but sometimes it helps to restart kicker | 00:53 |
| bonbonthejon | psyco: hit Ctrl-F2, then run dcop kicker kicker restart | 00:53 |
| psyco | Thanks | 00:53 |
| psyco | Ill try | 00:54 |
| psyco | Didn't work. | 00:54 |
| psyco | It got rid of my systray though XD | 00:55 |
| bonbonthejon | psyco: it should come back | 00:55 |
| psyco | My problem is, certain apps like Synaptics, cairo-dock, and Azureus have black menus. Its because of a black window background on black font but I can't change it. | 00:56 |
| psyco | bonbonthejon: I have to restart X for systray to come back. | 00:56 |
| psyco | I'll do that later. | 00:56 |
| psyco | I also know that changing the style solves my menu problem. | 00:57 |
| bonbonthejon | in the past few day, I have started getting ATA errors. Has this happened for anyone else? | 00:57 |
| psyco | But all other styles look bad with baghira except for baghira style. | 00:57 |
| genii | VipeX: nothing anymore is working (eg: no messaging program seems to work), or nothing anymore, it's working (pidgin is running now) | 01:00 |

| alex__ | Thank you for at least trying to help, I appreciate it already. | 02:32 |
| alex__ | and no | 02:32 |
| alex__ | whats pastebin? | 02:32 |
| genii | !pastebin | alex__ | 02:32 |
| alex__ | sorry if I seem a little slow, I just installed ubuntu today. | 02:32 |
| ubottu | alex__: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 02:32 |
| genii | alex__: So often we ask people to copy something from their computer and put it to that website so we can look it over to diagnose problems or so on. | 02:33 |
| LetsGo67 | libdvdnav: Suspected RCE Region Protection!!! | 02:33 |
| LetsGo67 | [00000283] main playlist: nothing to play | 02:33 |
| alex__ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/22488/ | 02:34 |
| LetsGo67 | Doesn,t owkr! | 02:34 |
| genii | alex__: So in this case, we need to find out first: What drive device the thing gets. So unplug it from the usb port, then plug it back in. Then go to program Konsole and put in: dmesg|tail and then copy that to the pastebin for me. | 02:35 |
| LetsGo67 | moo rar meow woof | 02:35 |
| genii | LetsGo67: Add the medibuntu repository to your sources.list and install libdvdcss2 Thats about all there is to it. | 02:36 |
| LetsGo67 | genni benn there done that | 02:36 |
| alex__ | Genii, Where is program konsole? | 02:36 |
| genii | LetsGo67: When you do: apt-cache policy libdvdcss2 does it have some asterisks beside it indicating it's been installed? | 02:37 |
| genii | alex__: KButton...System...Konsole | 02:37 |
| bonbonthejon | alex__: `which konsole` | 02:38 |
| LetsGo67 | Installé : 1.2.9-2medibuntu4 | 02:38 |
| LetsGo67 | Candidat : 1.2.9-2medibuntu4 | 02:38 |
| LetsGo67 | Table de version : | 02:38 |

| LetsGo67 | 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status | 02:38 |
| genii | LetsGo67: What program are you using to try and play the DVD? | 02:39 |
| LetsGo67 | vlc genii | 02:39 |
| genii | LetsGo67: Try kaffeine instead | 02:39 |
| LetsGo67 | genii: but that takes a lot of kde dependecies, I'm on xfce (sorry, didn't tell you) | 02:40 |
| LetsGo67 | I spent almost two hours on this | 02:41 |
| genii | LetsGo67: Then you want to ask in a non-KDE channel. xfce still uses GTK so #ubuntu or else #xubuntu | 02:41 |
| alex__ | Wheres the "K" button? my computer just freaked out and made the "trash" window turn on like 20 times. | 02:41 |
| LetsGo67 | #ubuntu blocked me | 02:42 |
| genii | alex__: On kde3 boxes the K with the wheel is usually on far left bottom. On kde4 it's somewhere near bottom right side instead. | 02:42 |
| genii | LetsGo67: So try #xubuntu since you're on xfce anyhow | 02:42 |
| alex__ | I'm using Ubuntu | 02:43 |
| alex__ | are we talking about the same thing? | 02:43 |
| LetsGo67 | No help | 02:43 |
| LetsGo67 | at least they are trying | 02:43 |
| genii | alex__: No. So open the program Terminal instead. And it's better to ask questions about ubuntu in #ubuntu channel and not here, for future reference | 02:44 |
| alex__ | I'm sorry, this was the first thing that came up in the IRC client. | 02:44 |
| genii | alex__: Is your background brown or blue? | 02:45 |
| alex__ | Brown. | 02:45 |
| genii | Then ubuntu | 02:45 |
| alex__ | Yes. | 02:45 |
| alex__ | So I guess i'll be going to the ubuntu channel now. | 02:45 |
| genii | alex__: But same underlying principle is involved of using the terminal/konsole to execute commands etc | 02:46 |
| alex__ | oh. | 02:46 |
| alex__ | so you'lll still be able to help me? | 02:46 |
| genii | alex__: I'm in there so I'll assist if no one else does. | 02:46 |
| genii | LetsGo67: Do you have package w32codecs also installed? | 02:47 |
| alex__ | that room is packed. | 02:48 |
| LetsGo67 | getting there genii | 02:48 |
| LetsGo67 | amen alex__! | 02:48 |
| msi | hola | 02:49 |
| alex__ | would you mind just helping me in here, Genii? | 02:49 |
| LetsGo67 | genii thanks but w32codecs doesn't help | 02:50 |
| msi | algien en español | 02:50 |
| LetsGo67 | #kubuntu-es | 02:51 |
| msi | gracias | 02:51 |
| genii | LetsGo67: Have you done a reboot since you installed the libdvdcss2 and w32codecs ? Likely cached data | 02:52 |
| LetsGo67 | No... | 02:52 |
| LetsGo67 | ctrl+alt+escape or entire reboot? | 02:52 |
| alex__ | Wow, Everytime I try to open firefox in ubuntu it freaks out and opens like 20 tabs | 02:53 |
| alex__ | This is getting almost uncontrollable and bugging the hell out of me. | 02:53 |
| genii | alex__: Since I'm currently using kde I may not be able to direct you through the menus to the applications and so on. But I can try as well as I can | 02:53 |
| genii | LetsGo67: Complete | 02:53 |
| LetsGo67 | Genii: just installed new linux kernel, could that be why? | 02:53 |
| alex__ | That would be great genii, could we start where we left off? | 02:53 |
| genii | LetsGo67: Possibly. But i think suspect is cached data relevant to vlc or such | 02:53 |
| genii | alex__: So did you open Terminal and pastebin rsult of: dmesg|tail yet? (after unplugging USB plug and replugging it) | 02:54 |
| LetsGo67 | genii: maybe, but why won't it work on Vista? | 02:54 |
| efasser | hi 2all | 02:54 |
| bdizzle | hi, question | 02:54 |
| genii | LetsGo67: Maybe you have a bum DVD | 02:55 |
| efasser | what i may use instead of "CD" in terminal on kubuntu hardy? | 02:55 |
| bdizzle | how do I modify Kubuntu so that when it unlocks from screensaver, it runs sudo alsa force-reload? | 02:55 |
| genii | efasser: To change directories? | 02:56 |
| efasser | Genii: yep... im installing program and there goes a line "cd program_name" and in terminal i get "sudo: cd: command not found" =( | 02:57 |
| efasser | genii: Excuse | 02:57 |
| efasser | genii: I find out... i don't need to use "sudo" | 02:58 |
| ectospasm | I just installed kubuntu over an existing debian installation. I've tried moving/removing .kde, but I can't seem to get a default kde setup | 02:58 |
| Agent_bob | yissue with vlc, seems that anytime i have vlc playing vidio and switch tty's vlc is no longer able to display vidio until reboot. (dapper on a lappy with ati chips) | 02:58 |
| ectospasm | (I'm running Kubuntu Hardy) | 02:58 |
| Agent_bob | efasser why would you "sudo cd blah" ??? | 02:59 |
| ectospasm | Agent_bob: perhaps only root can read/execd directory 'blah'? | 03:00 |

| josh_ | Josh | 03:00 |
| josh_ | Josh | 03:00 |
| josh_ | Josh | 03:00 |
| Agent_bob | that would start a subprocess that was owned by root which would change directories to "blah" then exit leaving you exactly where you were. | 03:00 |
| Agent_bob | ectospasm ^ | 03:00 |
| josh_ | i like being josh | 03:00 |
| Agent_bob | we don't like you spamming the channel though | 03:01 |
| bdizzle | ...you're spamming in a help channel not cool | 03:01 |
| * ectospasm wonders why a bot/op didn't kickban it | 03:02 | |
| LetsGo67 | regionset what does it do? | 03:02 |
| efasser | Agent_bob: Gust memory =) "make all commands with SUDO" | 03:02 |
| efasser | Agent_bob: LMAAO | 03:02 |
| efasser | Agent_bob: Just | 03:02 |
| genii | LetsGo67: regionset will change the country of your dvd player. You can only run it a limited number of times. This is for when for instance you want to play a European DVD on a North American DVD player. Normally this is not allowed. | 03:03 |
| Agent_bob | efasser ? if you want a root shell "sudo -i" then you can cd, rm, cp, mv, ..., as root all you want, but sudo cd is not even a valid exrecise in futility | 03:04 |
| bdizzle | I'm surprised that even on linux, you can only run it a number of times | 03:04 |
| LetsGo67 | genii output http://pastebin.ca/1054856 read please I am scared | 03:04 |
| genii | alex__: You alive over there? | 03:04 |
| efasser | Agent_bob: Now i know =) | 03:04 |
| ectospasm | does anyone know how I can wipe my KDE profile and start fresh? Removing .kde didn't seem to do the trick... | 03:04 |
| efasser | Agent_bob: Thanks 4r "sudo -i" command | 03:04 |
| Agent_bob | !sudo | efasser you can learn more | 03:05 |
| ubottu | efasser you can learn more: 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) | 03:05 |
| bdizzle | question? | 03:05 |
| bdizzle | how do I modify Kubuntu so that when it unlocks from screensaver, it runs sudo alsa force-reload? For some reason, the sound always cuts out when screensaver goes into effect, and never comes back | 03:05 |
| genii | LetsGo67: You have already a region-free DVD player then (when it does not show a specific region), this is a good thing. | 03:05 |
| genii | LetsGo67: I would not change the region on it to anything. | 03:06 |
| efasser | Agent_bob: start reading | 03:06 |
| josh_ | sorry people that was my little bro spaming a bit ago | 03:06 |
| LetsGo67 | DVD WORKS! DVD WORKS! DVD WORKS! DVD WORKS! DVD WORKS! DVD WORKS! DVD WORKS! DVD WORKS! | 03:07 |
| bdizzle | oiy | 03:07 |
| bdizzle | [22:05] <bdizzle> how do I modify Kubuntu so that when it unlocks from screensaver, it runs sudo alsa force-reload? For some reason, the sound always cuts out when screensaver goes into effect, and never comes back | 03:07 |
| bdizzle | [22:05] <genii> LetsGo67: You have already a region-free DVD player then (when it does not show a specific region), this is a good thing. | 03:07 |
| bdizzle | [22:06] <genii> LetsGo67: I would not change the region on it to anything. | 03:07 |
| bdizzle | [22:06] <efasser> Agent_bob: start reading | 03:07 |
| bdizzle | gah, sorry | 03:07 |
| genii | LetsGo67: Good :) | 03:07 |
| LetsGo67 | genii: yeah, but without changing region, i can't play any dvd. | 03:08 |
| bdizzle | another question. | 03:08 |
| Agent_bob | is it a full moon ? or us this just the night of the dumb asses ? | 03:08 |
| genii | LetsGo67: Ah, this is the new thing, they are trying to make the regionfree ones too painful to buy now | 03:08 |
| LetsGo67 | genii: it onlu means that non-north american dvds won,t play. | 03:08 |
| LetsGo67 | genni: is that so? | 03:08 |
| genii | LetsGo67: Yes especially Sony/BMG | 03:09 |
| bdizzle | I'm using a laptop and somehow it manages to copy and paste stuff without me realizing it when my finger brushes against the mousepad by mistake. Is there a way to correct this? | 03:09 |
| genii | bdizzle: I have the same problem, I've just learnt to live with it | 03:09 |
| bdizzle | yeah, same here. I was just wondering if there was a way around it | 03:10 |
| LetsGo67 | genii: those guys are mean. | 03:10 |
| Agent_bob | bdizzle i have a card (pasteboard cutout) that i cover mine with until needed. not a cure but i get along with it. | 03:11 |
| LetsGo67 | genii: they do not release songs as iTunes plus because they want people to buy musicpass. | 03:11 |
| genii | LetsGo67: Yup. Almost evil, even. | 03:11 |
| bdizzle | gotcha | 03:11 |
| LetsGo67 | BOO SONY | 03:11 |
| genii | LetsGo67: Anyhow You can sometimes bypass the regionset limit by flashing your cd drive firmware. But it depends what models. | 03:12 |
| bdizzle | does anyone know about the screensaver bug though? | 03:12 |
| bdizzle | I know the quick fix, but I need to konw of a way to automate it | 03:12 |
| LetsGo67 | genii: what's that? | 03:14 |
| LetsGo67 | genii: what are the chances that I buy a dvd that is not in canada or usa? | 03:14 |
| Agent_bob | bdizzle you could have the screensaver run a script, line one locks the screen and line two restores the alsa ? | 03:15 |
| genii | LetsGo67: The firmware is the instructiions on chips inside your cd drive. Like BIOS on a computer. Some can be upgraded like a computer BIOS can be upgraded. | 03:15 |
| genii | LetsGo67: Usually the firmware is international. | 03:15 |
| * Agent_bob wonders why anyone still buys "DRM'd" crap. | 03:16 | |
| bdizzle | how do I go about that? I've got very little programming experience and even less with linux, but I'm not afraid to try | 03:16 |
| LetsGo67 | SOY JUDS 3D! | 03:17 |
| LetsGo67 | SPY KIDS 3D! | 03:17 |
| LetsGo67 | Pie all over my screen. | 03:18 |
| efasser | Agent_bob: when i use "root shell" i dont need to place "sudo" in each lin? | 03:19 |
| efasser | Agent_bob: Am i right? | 03:19 |
| Agent_bob | efasser correct | 03:19 |
| Agent_bob | efasser while it wont change anything, sudo is useless to root | 03:19 |
| LetsGo67 | 3D MOVIES ARE SICK! | 03:20 |
| Agent_bob | it's root telling the system to run the next process as root "like duh" | 03:20 |
| * Agent_bob wonders about setting up sudo to echo "you are already root, but not for long!" when called as root, and then have it call logout, or killall on the PPID or something. | 03:25 | |
| Agent_bob | killall5 maybe :))) | 03:25 |
| Agent_bob | i have it, kill -9 -1 >:] | 03:27 |
| * genii sips his coffee | 03:27 | |
| Agent_bob | if only it could do that and then laugh at the user.... | 03:28 |
| LetsGo67 | genii: thanks for your help ttyl | 03:29 |
| genii | Agent_bob: Maybe there needs to be some sudoers wizard | 03:30 |
| Agent_bob | o.O | 03:31 |
| * genii runs to avoid the baseball bat! | 03:31 | |
| psyco | Anyone know how to resize the icons in the system tray? | 03:32 |
| Agent_bob | i've been saying for years that default sudoers is a joke. so yes there does need to be some "sudoers wizard" imo. | 03:32 |
| Agent_bob | psyco that should be an FAQ and even may be one. | 03:33 |
| Agent_bob | i can't answer it though. | 03:33 |
| psyco | lol ok | 03:33 |
| genii | I'm pretty sure the icons just resize themselves according to the size of your bar. Some probs with pidgin and xchat icons | 03:34 |
| psyco | I'll make a screen | 03:34 |
| Agent_bob | genii not in dapper they don't. they are a fixed size. | 03:34 |
| * genii bets it's a Gnome icon oversized | 03:34 | |
| genii | psyco: You on 6.06 or some later version? | 03:34 |
| Agent_bob | i'm on dapper. | 03:35 |
| psyco | Hardy, KDE3 and it is all the icons. | 03:35 |
| psyco | I am using a "top-menu bar" | 03:35 |
| === yalhua is now known as mjponce | ||
| CostaRicanQuaker | genii: i got an old kubuntu 5.10 cd, after all my isos came out bad, so i started installing and made a partition so my discs are half and half, thing is, i stopped installing hwen it said that it was going to format both the created partition and the windows one with all its files, so i stopped as i didn't want it to erase all my stuff, i backed up some of the files i have on windows | 03:35 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | but i still don't know how to avoid erasing and still install | 03:35 |
| genii | CostaRicanQuaker: It should not have wanted to format the windows partition unless you told the installer to use it for some reason | 03:36 |
| genii | CostaRicanQuaker: I'd just recommend to have Canonical ship you some cds | 03:36 |
| psyco | Ok, here is the screen of my system tray http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/2384/systrayhf8.jpg | 03:36 |
| psyco | See all the icons are too big. | 03:36 |
| psyco | I am using a top menu bar instead of a taskbar. | 03:37 |
| psyco | I think using a taskbar will solve my problem, I'll try. | 03:37 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | it cvame to a point in which it says, "all information willbe deleted, including the partitions to be formatted", then it lists the swap and ext3 but it says "all information" as in referring to everything, then i read on the back of the package: "tthe default installation will erase all existing software and data from your computer, however and expert installation mode is available" | 03:37 |
| * Agent_bob thinks that "system tray" != "system tray" | 03:38 | |
| CostaRicanQuaker | genii: i already did that, it told me it might be 16 weeks | 03:38 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i ordered 15 cds | 03:39 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | to get my whole community to switch | 03:39 |
| genii | Agent_bob: Yah looks like the fast-start (or so) icons | 03:39 |
| Agent_bob | yeah | 03:39 |
| bipolar | has anyone seen a backport of virtualbox 1.6.2 to Hardy? | 03:40 |
| genii | psyco: Maybe make your bar a bit larger | 03:40 |
| psyco | I couldn't because it was a top menu bar option. But I got rid of that and made a taskbar. Icons auto resize for that XD | 03:41 |
| genii | psyco: Ah, good then. | 03:41 |
| psyco | Yes. Hooray. | 03:41 |
| Agent_bob | hoary ? | 03:42 |
| psyco | Well I am off. | 03:42 |

| Agent_bob | !language | droach | 03:54 |
| ubottu | droach: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 03:54 |
| droach | oh so that explains why when i said the work hack like two days ago everyone started acting like a bunch of three year olds | 03:55 |
| droach | language filters how brutal. | 03:55 |
| psyco | Genii: Turns out I already have gtk-qt-engines | 03:56 |
| Agent_bob | droach if you need more info check the freenode home page. there is a code of conduct and all that stuff | 03:56 |
| psyco | I found an app that may solve my problem though., | 03:56 |
| genii | psyco: Then offhand I dunno. | 03:56 |
| kronoman | any idea if CDs for installing linux are more prone to fail on read? I blame the squashfs system | 03:57 |
| kronoman | I mean, I have installed linux many times, on many machines, and sorta once in a while I get stuck with a CD install | 03:58 |
| kronoman | using different CDs, different recorders, different readers, across time | 03:58 |
| kronoman | with all live cds | 03:58 |
| droach | nah i install everthing from cd the onetime that one failed the cd rom drive was bad | 03:58 |
| kronoman | so I have bad luck... | 03:58 |
| droach | live cds are junk anyway | 03:58 |
| kronoman | has happened me for years, like a curse | 03:58 |
| kronoman | with mandrake, with kubuntu, with ubuntu, during years | 03:58 |
| droach | use network install cds or use alternate install cds | 03:59 |
| kronoman | happened me last night @ gf house, and I looked like a fool, and let her machine without OS | 03:59 |
| kronoman | she had ubuntu 7, downloaded kubuntu 8, did md5sum to iso, recorded, restarted, live cd booted | 03:59 |
| Agent_bob | kronoman if you are burning your own "and we assume you are" the record speed needs to be set as low as possable, else you may have issues and yes the squashfs does seems to have something to do with that. | 03:59 |
| kronoman | formated OS partition, started to install, and exploded at 49 % with read error | 03:59 |
| genii | kronoman: What make/model is your USB 3G modem? | 04:00 |
| Agent_bob | kronoman that exact error will happen if you run out of ram too | 04:00 |
| droach | great you probably have a 50x cd rom drive but your still stuck burning at 2x great | 04:00 |
| kronoman | the machine has 2 GB RAM | 04:01 |
| kronoman | should be able to install it | 04:01 |
| droach | have you tested the ram | 04:01 |
| kronoman | same thing happened to me last year installing kubuntu on my machine | 04:01 |
| genii | memtest86 | 04:01 |
| kronoman | and also on a P3 I had some years ago | 04:01 |
| kronoman | I suspect squashfs can't cope with read errors at all, should be tolerant to a couple of wrong bits | 04:02 |
| psyco | I still have a P3. | 04:02 |
| kronoman | or at least include a "ignore file" on the install thingy | 04:02 |
| Agent_bob | 256m should be enough. but! i was only saying that that error is also caused by running out of ram and thus if you have one machine that keeps doing such things. you may have "bad ram" | 04:02 |
| psyco | Its hooked up to my TV for StepMania ^^ | 04:02 |
| kronoman | I mean, when the installed fails, it says read error, and bails out | 04:02 |
| kronoman | a sensible option would be the cancel / ignore option | 04:03 |
| kronoman | so to skip the bad file and keep copying | 04:03 |
| kronoman | at least you have chances of getting a working system if is a single file | 04:03 |
| kronoman | maybe a single byte | 04:03 |
| Agent_bob | or not. maybe it's one byte but it's in /usr/sbin/dpkg ;/ | 04:04 |
| Agent_bob | s/s// | 04:05 |
| genii | Yes corrupt dpkg system is not fun | 04:05 |
| Agent_bob | just think what could happen if the executable "dpkg" had one byte wrong... | 04:06 |
| genii | kronoman: Maybe use debbootstrap method | 04:06 |
| psyco | XD | 04:06 |
| Agent_bob | every package becomes a linux virus | 04:06 |
| Agent_bob | or bug | 04:06 |
| genii | Agent_bob: Shush. I'll have nightmares | 04:06 |
| Agent_bob | :) | 04:06 |
| kronoman | I would take the chance, is just a family computer | 04:07 |
| kronoman | not like I'm going to launch it to space or something | 04:07 |
| psyco | I might. | 04:07 |
| Agent_bob | noaXess: more importantly than laynching it into space. you will set it in your house ~ | 04:07 |
| Agent_bob | no: that is ^ | 04:08 |
| kronoman | again, to browse the internet, download some emails, maybe read a newspaper, | 04:08 |
| kronoman | normal user can live with a small byte in some obscure file | 04:08 |
| kronoman | maybe was the thai language map, maybe just a icon file | 04:08 |
| Agent_bob | we can have corrupt junk in space. we have proved that. but who wants it in their home. | 04:08 |
| kronoman | mmm, don't come to visit me | 04:09 |
| psyco | wow, I screwed up my baghira.... | 04:09 |
| Agent_bob | kronoman heh. but my example /usr/bin/dpkg is not an obscure file. it would affect every file on your system. even worse. if it was /lib/libc6.so the kernel could print to /dev/sda rather than /dev/stdout ... | 04:10 |
| genii | kronoman: So I gather you don't know the make/model of your USB 3G modem, and don't care to know about using debbootstrap then? | 04:10 |
| kronoman | and again, all that would happen is lose some crappy emails and family photos, no big deal | 04:10 |
| genii | Try to help someone and they rant on ;) | 04:11 |
| kronoman | genii: I still don't buy the 3G modem, just checking out if I'm going to be able to use it *if* I buy it | 04:11 |
| Agent_bob | genii he was typing at the time.... i'll back out and let him alone now. | 04:11 |
| kronoman | I was checking the cell phone provider and if I sign up for their plan, they will give me a USB modem | 04:11 |
| kronoman | really, their page is just filled with non tech propaganda about their 3G plan | 04:12 |
| kronoman | so I guess must be some generic USB 3G modem | 04:12 |
| genii | Probably. | 04:13 |
| kronoman | would be cool if I could use it because is way cheaper than my cablemodem, and I could suspend the cablemodem at my other house, farm, etc | 04:13 |
| kronoman | would save a lot of money | 04:13 |
| kronoman | just moving around with the 3G modem to every place | 04:13 |
| Agent_bob | kronoman one thing to look for, do they offer "free software" with the modem. | 04:13 |
| kronoman | they just say "Modem Claro USB plug & play" | 04:15 |
| kronoman | the plug & play part scares me... sounds like the winmodem nightmare | 04:15 |
| kronoman | Claro is the company | 04:15 |
| Agent_bob | ah the ole "plug and get mad" hardware rears it's ugly head again.... | 04:16 |
| flaccid | plug n pray | 04:16 |
| kronoman | also, does 3G works as "real" internet? i.e lets you open ports or use any service besides html (ie bittorrent, irc, games) | 04:18 |
| genii | 3G is only a connection method. | 04:19 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ok | 04:19 |
| genii | Like ethernet cord or wifi | 04:19 |

| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto | 04:20 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | can someone point towards a windows chat or chanel whee i can figure out how to revert everythign to a single bigger ntsf partition wi thout losing any files | 04:20 |
| genii | CostaRicanQuaker: ##windows | 04:20 |
| dwidmann | growing partitions should be easy .... it's shrinking them that's dangerous | 04:21 |
| genii | Yup | 04:21 |
| Agent_bob | partitions bah. | 04:22 |
| kronoman | what I mean is, do you think the provider, that provides internet using 3G will resort to the crappy capping methods, block porting, etc | 04:22 |
| dwidmann | kronoman: yes, I think they'll resort to being dirty skanks, anything else would be but a veil over their true selves. | 04:23 |
| kronoman | specially offering this crappy plug and play modems | 04:24 |
| Agent_bob | dwidmann :) | 04:24 |
| kronoman | I have like a very huge fear of USB modems | 04:24 |
| kronoman | USB modems bring me nightmares | 04:24 |
| * flaccid yawns | 04:25 | |
| Agent_bob | yissue with vlc, seems that anytime i have vlc playing vidio and switch tty's vlc is no longer able to display vidio until reboot. (dapper on a lappy with ati chips) | 04:25 |
| dwidmann | kronoman: it doesn't matter what form it comes in, without vendor support they're ALL scary. | 04:25 |
| dwidmann | Agent_bob: my money's on it being the video driver | 04:25 |
| Agent_bob | dwidmann vesa ? | 04:26 |
| dwidmann | Hmm, possible. | 04:26 |
| flaccid | or the fact that its dapper and vlc version is probably oldish | 04:26 |
| dwidmann | I'll try it for myself before I say anything though | 04:26 |
| Agent_bob | well vesa is what i use there. | 04:26 |
| dwidmann | Then again, there is that dapper factor of it ........ dapper is just plain old | 04:26 |
| flaccid | unfortunately dapper only gets security updates.. | 04:26 |
| dwidmann | and has old bugs instead of shiny new ones | 04:26 |
| Agent_bob | flaccid yeah and i have know of three of them actually breaking things... | 04:27 |
| Agent_bob | anyway, i was just wondering what y'all thought about the vlc problem. | 04:28 |
| flaccid | dapper should only really be used if you use canonical commercial support | 04:28 |
| flaccid | Agent_bob: try other media players like kaffeine as well | 04:28 |
| genii | Agent_bob: What vlc issue is that? | 04:29 |
| dwidmann | well, if it's a lot of machines, it might just be too much of a big P.I.T.A. to upgrade ... flaccid | 04:29 |
| genii | nvm scrolled back | 04:29 |
| Agent_bob | flaccid i really don't think it's the player, i'm not an expert in this area mind you. but i can restart xorg (of course that requires restarting vlc too in this case) and it still only outputs "what looks like a brownish curtan" to vidio. the sound works fine. | 04:30 |
| flaccid | well we don't really know what it is, and im assuming you check the xorg log? | 04:31 |
| flaccid | dwidmann: thats how it goes and what employing sysadmins is for :) | 04:31 |
| kronoman | any way to unpack a squashfs ignoring all the errors? | 04:31 |
| kronoman | I mean, that it just skips the byte if cant read? | 04:32 |
| Agent_bob | yeah xorg is not reporting any error, nor showing any. but i will try to rule out vlc by testing other players. | 04:32 |
| flaccid | cool | 04:32 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | can one open files contained in the kubuntu partition from windows? | 04:33 |
| flaccid | CostaRicanQuaker: yes if you install an ext2/3 fs driver | 04:33 |
| Agent_bob | besides all that. as to the "you should upgrade" thingy. i only have one thing to say about that, "bite me!" ;| | 04:34 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and kubuntu can of course open files from the windows partition right? | 04:34 |
| flaccid | i never suggested upgrading :) | 04:34 |
| flaccid | CostaRicanQuaker: correct | 04:34 |
| dwidmann | that's right Agent_bob, flaccid only recommended not running dapper without commercial support | 04:34 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so i could have one big windows partition for storage and a minimal one for kubuntu? what's the minimum space recquired for kubuntu to run on? | 04:35 |
| flaccid | i just present the facts and let the user keep their free choice :o | 04:35 |
| flaccid | !requirements | CostaRicanQuaker yes | 04:35 |
| ubottu | CostaRicanQuaker yes: 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 | 04:35 |
| Agent_bob | dwidmann ah so i misread that. it really meant "pay me for help" :))) | 04:35 |
| flaccid | i accept money too haha | 04:35 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | xubuntu looks too simple and i'm a quaker | 04:36 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker lol | 04:36 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | would you recomend that though? having a minimal partition for kubuntu and a storage partitions on windows? | 04:36 |
| flaccid | whats a quaker sorry ? | 04:36 |
| flaccid | CostaRicanQuaker: a lot of people do it that way ie. fat partition for storage | 04:37 |

| minhaaj | what app do i need to open .deb packages ? | 04:38 |
| genii | dpkg | 04:38 |
| minhaaj | how do i run that ? | 04:38 |
| genii | eg: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb | 04:38 |
| flaccid | why do you want t open a .deb ? ; ark can do that | 04:38 |
| minhaaj | shouldnt it run automatically when it detects a .deb package ? | 04:39 |
| flaccid | minhaaj: what is 'it' and 'it' ? | 04:39 |
| minhaaj | skype | 04:40 |
| minhaaj | dkpg should detect .deb when i download it | 04:40 |
| flaccid | um the only thing skype has to do with debs is that you can install it from one? | 04:40 |
| minhaaj | and run it | 04:40 |
| Agent_bob | i hope not | 04:40 |
| minhaaj | i want to understand this concept | 04:40 |
| minhaaj | why not ? | 04:40 |
| flaccid | minhaaj: thats not how it works. if you manually d/l a deb, then you would have to manually install it. just like downloading any file | 04:40 |
| flaccid | !skype | minhaaj | 04:41 |
| ubottu | minhaaj: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto | 04:41 |
| minhaaj | i tried to find skype in repos | 04:41 |
| minhaaj | its not there | 04:41 |
| flaccid | skypes in the repos, you can simply install via Adept Manager | 04:41 |
| minhaaj | i googled for a sudo command from terminal to dl it but i couldnt | 04:41 |
| flaccid | minhaaj: try reading the above link :) | 04:41 |
| minhaaj | whats the name of package | 04:41 |
| minhaaj | i couldnt find it | 04:41 |
| flaccid | read!! | 04:41 |
| flaccid | !info skype | 04:41 |
| ubottu | Package skype does not exist in hardy | 04:41 |
| flaccid | its actually in Medibuntu repos | 04:42 |
| minhaaj | umm | 04:42 |
| flaccid | ie. skype | 2.0.0.72-0medibuntu1 | http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy/non-free Packages | 04:42 |
| minhaaj | can you use medibuntu packages in hardy ? | 04:42 |
| Agent_bob | does that need an answer ? | 04:43 |
| flaccid | minhaaj: yes. see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu to enable it. and this is where i got my skype from.. | 04:43 |
| flaccid | seems like some people need multiple answers :o | 04:43 |
| minhaaj | wow great | 04:43 |
| Agent_bob | minhaaj you don't seem to grasp the concept of package repositories, perhaps you should look into that first. | 04:43 |
| Agent_bob | !repos | 04:44 |
| ubottu | The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 04:44 |
| minhaaj | installed | 04:44 |
| flaccid | hooray | 04:44 |
| minhaaj | ok thanks Agent_bob | 04:45 |
| minhaaj | wow great resource Agent_bob | 04:47 |
| minhaaj | still can't find skype | 04:48 |
| minhaaj | even though medibuntu is installed | 04:48 |
| flaccid | !enter | minhaaj | 04:49 |
| ubottu | minhaaj: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 04:49 |
| flaccid | minhaaj: you need to fetch updates after successfully adding the repos to your sources.list | 04:49 |
| minhaaj | there are no updates availible | 04:50 |
| minhaaj | can't see adept notifier | 04:50 |
| flaccid | minhaaj: thats not watch fetch updates is. it updates the list of packages available to you. once that is done in Adept Manager , you can search for it in Adept and install it | 04:50 |
| minhaaj | great i ran sudo apt-get update | 04:51 |
| minhaaj | and nowi have notifier | 04:51 |
| flaccid | minhaaj: probably best if you actually read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype thats what its there for! | 04:51 |

| enterusername | hi im having problems reading and watching dvds its saying its encrypted | 04:52 |
| enterusername | does libdvdcss need libdvdread? | 04:52 |
| Agent_bob | !helpersnack | ubottu | 04:52 |
| ubottu | ubottu: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 04:52 |
| genii | Agent_bob: I've been looking into the vlc thing but with no enlightenment. | 04:52 |
| flaccid | enterusername: you may need libdvdread3 | 04:52 |
| enterusername | oh ok its crapping out on libdvdread3 | 04:53 |
| Agent_bob | genii i can't test other players until i get home. but i'll bring my lappy to work tomarrow... i have noticed that issue on several occasions | 04:53 |
| enterusername | its saying cant pass encryption | 04:53 |
| flaccid | enterusername: try googling the exact error it gives to find a solution | 04:53 |
| Agent_bob | genii i'm thinking it's a combonation of ati chip and .... well ati chip ;/ | 04:53 |
| * Agent_bob doesn't like ati... | 04:54 | |
| genii | Agent_bob: Maybe. | 04:54 |
| flaccid | likely ATI , agreed there.. | 04:54 |
| flaccid | well maybe not likely, but a large possibility | 04:54 |
| genii | Well, time for sleep :) | 04:55 |
| Agent_bob | anyway my thought is that somehow the ati chip is not being cleared of some buffer or something, i'm not a techy! anyway the only way to reset the error is a hard reset of the bios i.e. power off/on cycle so i'm thinking it's the vidio chip. | 04:56 |
| flaccid | Agent_bob: and you see this happens with vesa driver? have you tried other drivers? | 04:57 |
| Agent_bob | now. it may not affect other players, i'll have to do more testing. | 04:57 |
| Agent_bob | and no. only vesa | 04:57 |
| minhaaj | flaccid: how does the bug removal process work at canonical ? bug reports are generated and do they get fixed right away, or you have to wait for next release ? | 04:57 |
| Agent_bob | dapper doesn't have a generic ati driver that will work with that chip | 04:57 |
| flaccid | minhaaj: they get fixed when someone fixes them and it can be released in next release, via and update and usually in proposed updates first | 04:58 |
| flaccid | Agent_bob: there is no "ati" or "radeon" in dapper? | 04:59 |
| Agent_bob | minhaaj important bugs get a lot of attention while some bugs may not be fixed for a while... | 04:59 |
| minhaaj | actually i searched for a bug that has almost 52 variants | 04:59 |
| minhaaj | sun java6 plugin can't be removed | 04:59 |
| kronoman | any easy way to create a pendrive with kubuntu on it? | 04:59 |
| minhaaj | says package commiting failed | 04:59 |
| Agent_bob | flaccid there is an xserver-xorg-driver-ati but it doesn't work as well as the xserver-xorg-driver-vesa | 05:00 |
| minhaaj | bugged was confirmed by status | 05:00 |
| flaccid | !usb | kronoman | 05:00 |
| ubottu | kronoman: 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 | 05:00 |
| kronoman | guess it would be faster to install from pendrive than from CD | 05:00 |
| minhaaj | and i was wondering if it has been fixed or not | 05:00 |
| flaccid | Agent_bob: restricted perhaps can work with your gpu? http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/xorg-driver-fglrx | 05:00 |
| kronoman | thanks flaccid | 05:00 |
| minhaaj | wth!! still no skype in adept | 05:00 |
| flaccid | minhaaj: did you follow the instructions ? | 05:01 |
| Agent_bob | restricted yuch. i hate to taint my kernel/system. | 05:01 |
| minhaaj | yep | 05:01 |
| Agent_bob | but yeah | 05:01 |
| minhaaj | i just updated everything | 05:01 |
| minhaaj | it was updating medibuntu | 05:01 |
| flaccid | minhaaj: did you add the repos to sources.list as per the instructions? | 05:01 |
| minhaaj | i can see medibuntu in third party software list as checked in adept | 05:01 |
| minhaaj | i updated it after that | 05:02 |
| flaccid | minhaaj: so if you fetch updates, then skype should be searchable in adept. you can also install by sudo apt-get install skype | 05:02 |
| minhaaj | and you are telling this NOW ? | 05:02 |
| minhaaj | :) | 05:03 |
| minhaaj | !helpersnack | flaccid | 05:03 |
| ubottu | flaccid: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 05:03 |
| flaccid | minhaaj: errr, please read , i've shown you this several times already OK. | 05:03 |
| Agent_bob | flaccid what's the differance in "xserver-xorg-video-ati" and "xserver-xorg-driver-ati" ? | 05:04 |
| minhaaj | yea but it didnt work. the same command BEFORE i added medibuntu | 05:04 |
| flaccid | if it didnt work then you are most likely doing something yourself | 05:04 |
| minhaaj | heheh | 05:04 |
| * minhaaj hugs flaccid | 05:04 | |
| flaccid | still 'doesn't work' tells us nothing to be able to help you.. | 05:04 |
| minhaaj | dude i know windows refugees like me can be pest for helpers like you | 05:05 |
| minhaaj | its not yet 15 days since i've switched over. | 05:05 |
| flaccid | what i mean is the problem is likely you if it doesn't work.. | 05:05 |
| minhaaj | cut me some slack :) | 05:05 |
| Agent_bob | slack ? | 05:05 |
| flaccid | there is no problem minhaaj | 05:05 |
| minhaaj | thanks :) | 05:05 |
| minhaaj | You guys are the only thing that makes difference in linux | 05:06 |
| Agent_bob | /join #slakware slack ? | 05:06 |
| minhaaj | i wonder if someone ever thank you :) | 05:06 |
| flaccid | Agent_bob: its just slang for gimme a break heh | 05:06 |
| minhaaj | Agent_bob: figure of speech | 05:06 |

| * Agent_bob </shrugs> | 05:08 | |
| minhaaj | you got me there. | 05:08 |
| minhaaj | thought #slackware is ACTUALLY some help channel | 05:08 |
| minhaaj | heh | 05:08 |
| flaccid | slackware is a linux distro basically | 05:08 |
| minhaaj | ahh | 05:08 |
| Agent_bob | yes it's the official support for that distroubtion of linux | 05:08 |
| minhaaj | see you learn each day from flaccid the wiz | 05:08 |
| minhaaj | and Agent_bob ofcourse. | 05:09 |
| Agent_bob | you can /join #fedora or /join #debian | 05:09 |
| Agent_bob | but this is the place for ubuntu + kde support. | 05:09 |
| Agent_bob | or is it #fedora-core i haven't actually been there. | 05:10 |
| * flaccid takes some natural stuff for headache | 05:10 | |
| Agent_bob | water ? | 05:10 |
| Agent_bob | :) | 05:10 |
| flaccid | yeah water + an array of vitamins as im out of the real drugs heh. anyway i'll shoosh until i see another kubuntu prob | 05:11 |
| minhaaj | is that true that ubuntu guys are also thinking about incorporating kde in next release ? | 05:11 |
| minhaaj | vitamins ? are you sick or weak ? | 05:11 |
| Agent_bob | minhaaj there is also ##linux and ##linuxhelp which are unofficial linux support channels... | 05:11 |
| flaccid | probably all of the above lol | 05:11 |
| minhaaj | heh | 05:12 |
| minhaaj | ok skype done | 05:12 |
| minhaaj | thanks | 05:12 |
| flaccid | i drank about 2 litres of wine last night helping here. anyway lets keep on topic if talking at all. we can talk about my bad health in #kubuntu-offtopic if you like | 05:12 |
| flaccid | sweet minhaaj np | 05:12 |
| minhaaj | heh ok | 05:13 |
| Agent_bob | flaccid what's the differance in "xserver-xorg-video-ati" and "xserver-xorg-driver-ati" ? | 05:13 |
| flaccid | Agent_bob: lets have a look on the packages site i guess | 05:13 |
| flaccid | Agent_bob: only the second one exists in dapper. maybe they changed the pkg name in future releases | 05:14 |
| Agent_bob | apt doesn't see any xserver-xorg-video-ati but does see xserver-xorg-driver-ati | 05:14 |
| Agent_bob | maybe. | 05:15 |
| flaccid | yeah i checked the site. only http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/xserver-xorg-driver-ati is up there like your apt | 05:15 |
| dwidmann | curiosity question, if one were to download all of the ubuntu repository (main,restricted,universe,multiverse) for one architecture (say, for sake of example, 386), just how much space would it take? | 05:15 |
| minhaaj | dude its almost 30000 packages | 05:15 |
| Agent_bob | 20k | 05:16 |
| minhaaj | k ? | 05:16 |
| dwidmann | I didn't ask for # of packages, I already knew that, I asked how much space the packages would take up. | 05:16 |
| minhaaj | 20 mb ? | 05:16 |
| Agent_bob | ummm about 4.5 dvd's full | 05:16 |
| flaccid | that question is almost more like, how much space do i need on my server for a mirror. someone can probably answer that.. | 05:16 |
| Agent_bob | no 20k packages | 05:16 |

| numan | i have nvidia card but my display screen goes black after kubuntu screen finished loading. | 07:46 |
| flaccid | numan: ah ok, did you upgrade kernel recently at all? | 07:46 |
| numan | yes i upgraded to hardy heron from gutsy gibbon | 07:47 |

| numan | i cant get into login screen | 07:47 |
| helpy | hehe first crash | 07:47 |
| helpy | compiz is so buggy | 07:47 |
| flaccid | numan: yeah but you should be able to get to a terminal with the above keyboard shortcut | 07:48 |
| numan | because i never get through login screen | 07:48 |
| numan | yes i tried it but failed | 07:48 |
| flaccid | failed, what happens? | 07:48 |
| numan | but i am at the terminal through recovery mode | 07:48 |
| numan | failed means nothing comes up even i press the keys several times | 07:49 |
| flaccid | numan: ok then. do a sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf and find the section device and change driver to Driver "vesa" | 07:49 |
| numan | ok | 07:49 |
| flaccid | we basically want to get it to use the vesa driver to hopefully get back into kde then change it to restricted again via Hardware Drivers Manager . the nvidia kernel driver is kernel dependant so if you upgrade the kernel it needs to be rebuilt | 07:50 |
| numan | i think the problem is here with device configured wrongly | 07:53 |
| flaccid | ok i'll leave it to you then :) | 07:54 |
| numan | it says Setion "Device" identifier "configured video device" | 07:54 |

| ik_ | i just reinstalled (again>.<) | 08:20 |

| flaccid | which driver? | 08:23 |
| ik_ | in windows it's regocnised by default as a "HD2400 series" | 08:23 |
| flaccid | so now it has 3 names, dang | 08:24 |
| ik_ | lol | 08:24 |
| ik_ | yeah, i guess so ^^ | 08:24 |
| ik_ | in windows it works fine though | 08:24 |
| flaccid | this is pci-x or notebook? yeah this isn't windows :) | 08:24 |

| ik_ | (remember, i just reinstalled) | 08:30 |
| flaccid | well that should be accurate whenever ran.. | 08:30 |
| flaccid | ik_: problem seems to be ATI, there doesn't appear to be a linux driver as per http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html | 08:31 |
| ik_ | well, then we got a disagreement on windhoos. lol | 08:31 |

| ik_ | wut? lol | 08:39 |
| ik_ | its activated already 0.o | 08:39 |
| flaccid | ik_: i thought you said you were using vesa or something? | 08:39 |
| ik_ | thats what i thought >.< | 08:40 |
| ik_ | because it did the last 8 installs 0.o | 08:40 |

| ik_ | Identifier"Configured Video Device" | 08:41 |
| ik_ | Driver"vesa" | 08:41 |
| flaccid | ik_: this is the situation. disable it in jockey then enable it, then reboot, see if that works, if it doesn't then try the driver from the site again and if that doesn't work then the problem is obviously ATI.. | 08:41 |

| ik_ | ehm.. | 08:43 |
| flaccid | ocs: thats not what i asked. i want to know what driver is being used | 08:43 |
| ik_ | flaccid: the HW manager tells me that if i disable this driver there's no alternative driver available | 08:44 |
| ocs | flaccid: Driver"ati" | 08:44 |
| flaccid | ocs: because rage is legacy and not supported in linux, this is the best you can do. | 08:44 |
| ocs | flaccid: so i have to change the graphic card ? | 08:45 |
| flaccid | ocs: up to you | 08:46 |
| ocs | ? | 08:46 |
| flaccid | ocs: that is your choice if you want to buy a new video card. it will be a good choice however | 08:46 |
| ocs | flaccid: are you sure of what are you telling? | 08:47 |
| ik_ | ocs: dont try another ati though, lol | 08:47 |
| ocs | flaccid: there's a problem with acceleration | 08:47 |

| TeslaTony | Ive don two kernel updates since installing my system, and when grub comes up during boot, it still shows both of the old kernels on top of my XP and current system. How do I remove those entries? | 08:55 |
| flaccid | TeslaTony: kgrubeditor or editing /boot/grub/menu.list manually | 08:56 |
| milaks | Hi. Can I upgrade Ubuntu 7.04 to Kubuntu 8.04 directly, from CD (kubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386)? | 08:56 |
| flaccid | i mean /boot/grub/menu.lst | 08:57 |
| ocs | no, flaccid, you are wrong. I remember that with suse and the same graphic card i didn't have this problem | 08:57 |
| flaccid | milaks: don't think so as they are image-based | 08:57 |
| flaccid | ocs: that doesn't make me wrong at all. | 08:57 |
| ivan10232006 | hello | 08:58 |
| ocs | flaccid: i have to resolve this problem. and there's a better solution than replacing the graphic card | 08:59 |
| flaccid | maybe there should be an ##assumptions channel :) | 08:59 |
| flaccid | ocs: good luck | 08:59 |
| milaks | flaccid,no flac what I mean is, if I have working ubuntu-7.04 linux (installed), and image of kubuntu-8.04-alternate, can I mount that image on /media/cdrom for example and call for cdromupgrade to upgrade frmo 7.04 ubuntu to 8.04? | 08:59 |
| TeslaTony | flaccid: Thanks. Iḿ assuming I just delete the entries? | 08:59 |
| flaccid | milaks: not that i know of because the cd doesn't have packages. as i said iirc its an image-based install | 08:59 |
| flaccid | TeslaTony: yeah | 08:59 |
| milaks | flaccid, sorry I dont understand you, please see this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades/Kubuntu | 09:01 |
| flaccid | milaks: note how that page, says alternate CD. | 09:01 |
| milaks | flaccid, do you mean I must upgrade versions in order, that is first upgrade to 7.10 (or whatever is next to 7.04) and then try to upgrade to 8.04? | 09:01 |
| flaccid | oh my apologies you said | 09:01 |
| milaks | flaccid,yes I'm downloading kubuntu alternate CD | 09:02 |
| milaks | flaccid,image* | 09:02 |
| flaccid | milaks: in theory you can upgrade from anything | 09:02 |
| flaccid | i've done dapper to hardy even though we don't support it here | 09:02 |
| milaks | flaccid,it's ok, so can I upgrade it directly frmo 7.04 to 8.04 or must I first upgrade to 7.10? | 09:02 |
| flaccid | milaks: you can do directly | 09:03 |
| milaks | flaccid,ok and last question, sorry | 09:03 |
| flaccid | hey my bad i misread you milaks | 09:03 |
| milaks | flaccid,it doesnt matter that installed version is ubuntu (not kubuntu) and I'm tryaing to upgrade to kubuntu? | 09:03 |
| flaccid | milaks: correct | 09:03 |
| flaccid | they use the same repos | 09:04 |
| milaks | flaccid,thanks a lot, I will continue with download of kubuntu-alternate | 09:04 |
| flaccid | sorry for the confusion and good luck milaks | 09:04 |
| milaks | flaccid,my cd/dvd burner isnt working and I have 7.04 on CD from before, so I want to install it again, and then frmo downloaded 8.04 image upgrade it to it... | 09:05 |
| milaks | flaccid,no problem | 09:05 |

| ActionParsnip | or any torrent client | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip | to manage that | 09:40 |
| kumamoto | nope | 09:41 |

| kumamoto | unless you check their site for torrent plugins | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | bah | 09:41 |
| kumamoto | and see if that is in your repos | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | yeah thats what im after so I only need 1 port open rather than one for webmin and one for ktorrent web management | 09:42 |
| kumamoto | I would think webmin would require you to open the torrents port for it to work properly just like it does for http, dns or postfix | 09:43 |

| kumamoto | you just want to monitor torrent through webmin huh? | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | yeah and start new downloads etc, much like the web interface of ktorrent | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | could I add a lint to webmin to link to the local service then disaplay the result via webmin?? | 10:00 |
| ik_ | hey actionparsnip | 10:05 |
| ik_ | you could run uTorrent thruogh wine | 10:06 |

| ActionParsnip | but I would love to do it all through webmin | 10:06 |
| ik_ | ow, ok, in that case i didnt say anything ^^ | 10:06 |

| ik_ | it might be possible it's another app, but ill try it out now, im gonna do a full upgrade | 10:09 |
| flaccid | what works fine sorry? | 10:10 |
| kakoonia | whats the command for gui nvidia-settings? | 10:10 |
| ik_ | the old kernel | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | kakoonia: i believe its nvidia-settings | 10:10 |
| flaccid | meh | 10:11 |
| ik_ | kakoonia: try to typ nvidia and press tab. (i guess ^^) | 10:11 |
| kakoonia | it doesnt work.. it worked when i used ubuntu, but on kubuntu, it doesnt exist, and i installed the driver.. | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | you need to install it seperately now | 10:11 |
| ik_ | ok, weird. | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | it got split for some bizarre reason | 10:12 |
| kakoonia | tried it.. it gives only nvidia-, so i tried nvidia xconfig, but its not what i was looking for. | 10:12 |
| kakoonia | ohh | 10:12 |
| kakoonia | ActionParsnip: well thanks,i guess it was realy apart now.. wierd though. | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | indeed but its how it is, i guessits uninstallable once its setup and stuff | 10:15 |
| ocs | hi. i did something wrong with video drivers:). and I cannot start the server x anymore. how can i "repair" that using the kubuntu live cd ? | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: roll back your xorg.conf | 10:19 |
| ocs | ActionParsnip: in which way ? | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: use hte backup you create before you started playing | 10:20 |
| ocs | i didn't create a backup | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | why not? | 10:20 |
| ocs | i only tried to install kubuntu and few other things | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: head into /etc/X11 | 10:21 |
| ocs | ok, and then ? | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: there maybe some old xorg.confs in there you can rename to see if they work | 10:21 |
| ocs | ActionParsnip: already tried | 10:21 |
| flaccid | ocs: mount the filesystem from livecd and edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf . i guess you are still trying to do the impossible ah well | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: you have learned the hardest way that you should backup conf files before tweaking so you can easily roll back | 10:21 |
| ocs | flaccid: already tried | 10:22 |
| flaccid | ActionParsnip: ocs is try to use other drivers for a legacy Rage ati that is not supported | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: so there are no xorg.conf~ files | 10:22 |
| flaccid | one can only try. | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: oh, i didnt know | 10:22 |
| flaccid | yeah not much point in try to help this user | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: is this a new install? | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: i got a plan | 10:23 |
| ocs | ActionParsnip: i changed xorg.conf several times | 10:23 |
| ocs | ActionParsnip: ? | 10:23 |
| kumamoto | how about something like 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: how long has Kubuntu been on this system? | 10:23 |
| ocs | ok kumamoto let's try | 10:23 |
| ocs | ActionParsnip: two days | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: you could reinstall and stick to vesa drivers | 10:24 |
| ocs | ActionParsnip: i want to solve without reinstalling | 10:24 |
| flaccid | iirc user already did that ie. vesa | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | so it isnt even driven by vesa? | 10:24 |
| flaccid | it can be but user wants more | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: id edit your xorg.conf and put vesa as your driver | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid: i see, unlucky | 10:26 |
| flaccid | unfortunately we went throught that only a couple of hours ago and now user has come back to try again | 10:27 |
| ocs | well, solved all | 10:28 |
| ocs | but i had to change manually the permission of .ICEautorithy | 10:29 |
| flaccid | that is never necessary unless it was changed manually | 10:29 |
| ocs | flaccid, it didn't start and gave me error on .ICEautorithy permissions | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: as long as its good thats cool | 10:29 |
| ocs | so i made them 7777 | 10:29 |
| ocs | but now I want to restore them in their old value | 10:30 |

| dr_Willis | nyuu, then you need to enable the other repos | 13:14 |

| dr_Willis | nyuu, enable the universe reposuitory. and use the package manager tools | 13:23 |

| nyuu | dr_Willis: to enable it | 13:23 |
| flaccid | !repos > nyuu | 13:24 |

| dr_Willis | nyuu, look in your menus perhaps for the package manager icon? | 13:27 |
| dr_Willis | the command is not 'adept' i belive | 13:27 |

| unespkiosk | the kiosktool its almost like the gpolicies editor | 14:37 |
| ActionParsnip | unespkiosk: yeah the gui seems pretty inuitive | 14:37 |
| unespkiosk | since i need only two apps running, i think kiosktool its way more than i need | 14:37 |
| ubuntu | ok | 14:37 |
| unespkiosk | i need the user only to open an especific site | 14:37 |
| unespkiosk | any browser | 14:38 |
| unespkiosk | on fullscreen, with no options to see the startup and so on | 14:38 |
| genii | lascar: Troubleshooting the sound system is not my strong point. Is the arts daemon running? eg: pas ax| grep arts should show a result | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | unespkiosk: set the homepage in your chosen browser and lock it | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | lascar: can you play any sound at all | 14:38 |
| unespkiosk | and a screensaver, wich will do a random slideshow of the pictures on a remote server | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | lascar: aplay, amarok etc | 14:39 |
| lascar | genii: fair enough. "pas: command not found." | 14:39 |

| ActionParsnip | unespkiosk: well the screen saver you can set in configure desktop | 14:39 |

| ActionParsnip | unespkiosk: then screw it down with the kiosk | 14:42 |
| lascar | genii: which i'm guessing is a UID | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | unespkiosk: id create a new user who is not part of the sudo group and make it autologon | 14:42 |
| genii | lascar: Yes, thats fine. What model is your soundcard? The command: lspci -nn| grep Audio may tell us | 14:42 |

| unespkiosk | ahuehaue | 14:48 |
| unespkiosk | me too | 14:48 |
| unespkiosk | hard doing it | 14:48 |

| b4s3m | ActionParsnip: actually i tried to enable graphics acceleration .... then everything is screwed :S | 14:48 |
| unespkiosk | the kiosktool always crashes | 14:48 |

| * genii sips a coffee | 15:10 | |
| genii | lascar: Any result yet? | 15:11 |
| lascar | genii: i'll reboot in a bit | 15:12 |
| lascar | i compiled the alsa driver | 15:12 |
| genii | lascar: OK. I'll be around. | 15:13 |
| lascar | genii: cool, much obliged. | 15:15 |
| genii | lascar: NP | 15:16 |
| genii | bah capslock :) | 15:17 |
| incorrect | is kde4 usable yet? | 15:24 |
| genii | It's a matter of some debate. But the general consensus is no. | 15:25 |
| incorrect | genii, i tried it some time ago and no was my end conclusion | 15:29 |
| incorrect | but that was almost 6 months ago | 15:29 |
| loctar | 4.1 seems to be shaping up though | 15:32 |
| loctar | does anyone know when the beta2 packages for 4.1 will be out btw? | 15:35 |
| incorrect | i am bored of gnome | 15:35 |
| incorrect | kde3 is blah | 15:36 |
| nicola | hi | 15:37 |
| MrKennie | Is the panel much more configurable in kde4.1 yet? | 15:37 |
| nicola | yes | 15:37 |
| MrKennie | one of my dislikes of kde4.0, I like to do as a wish with the panel :) | 15:38 |
| nicola | ? | 15:38 |
| incorrect | that was good engrish | 15:39 |
| MrKennie | sorry, the fact that the panel in kde4.0 is not very configurable | 15:40 |
| nicola | 4.1 you can do a lot | 15:40 |
| genii | I think if they make some wrapper which lets you use all the old kde3 panel apps as kde4 widgets that will be the biggest breakthrough | 15:40 |
| nicola | 4.1 beta1 provides enough feature to be comparable to 3 | 15:41 |
| === unespkiosk is now known as unesp | ||
| nicola | 4.1 beta is also much more stable than 4.0.5 | 15:42 |
| nicola | hard to believe but true! | 15:43 |
| LinuxWorld | betas are for gamblas.. | 15:44 |
| MrKennie | 4.1 sounds excellent. | 15:44 |
| nicola | ? | 15:44 |
| nicola | that also what I was expecting | 15:44 |
| nicola | but 4.1 is much more stable than 4.0 | 15:44 |
| nicola | 4.0.5 looks more to be the pre-candidate of 4.1 | 15:45 |
| nicola | on a major release that is normal | 15:45 |
| nicola | anyway today they have just released 4.1 beta 2 | 15:47 |
| nicola | I think you should try it! | 15:47 |
| * genii waits for 4.2 RC1 | 15:47 | |
| nicola | 4.2??? | 15:47 |
| genii | hehe | 15:47 |
| loctar | yup, been running beta 1 for a week now. it's pretty stable, if you don't mess with plasma too much | 15:48 |
| genii | nicola: In other words I think it is still a generation behind where it should be | 15:48 |
| nicola | it depends.. | 15:48 |
| nicola | on the usage you do of the application itself | 15:48 |
| incorrect | genii, rc1? you are brave today! | 15:48 |
| incorrect | so 4.1 is going to be a bit faster? | 15:49 |
| genii | incorrect: Hah, smart*ss | 15:49 |
| nicola | this is how it looks like | 15:49 |
| incorrect | you know you have to worry when you Q6600 struggles to run the desktop | 15:49 |
| nicola | than run vista on it! | 15:50 |
| incorrect | i blame enlightenment, if that project had released e17 by now... | 15:50 |
| incorrect | i like vista is great | 15:50 |
| genii | incorrect: Yup. Thats what I have on my desktop. So this little laptop would really just chug. | 15:51 |
| genii | (q6600) | 15:51 |
| nicola | that's why yuu need Q6600 | 15:51 |
| genii | nicola: My desktop DOES have a q6600 . | 15:51 |
| genii | My laptop is core duo 1.7 | 15:53 |
| nicola | I run on a common laptop and no problem at all | 15:53 |
| nicola | IBM t43 | 15:53 |
| nicola | but why kubuntu.. and not ubuntu? | 15:54 |

| MurielGodoi | Daisuke_Laptop: exactely, menubar and menuitens text. | 18:03 |
| MurielGodoi | Daisuke_Laptop: I used have a dark desktop theme... so i use text color as white | 18:04 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | MurielGodoi: firefox isn't really a gtk or qt app, so it doesn't always play nice with dark themes | 18:04 |
| MurielGodoi | Daisuke_Laptop: All aplications works fine... but in Firefox all windowtext is black, not white | 18:04 |
| MurielGodoi | It turns white only if i set default text to white | 18:05 |

| helpy | heh | 18:29 |
| helpy | yep genii | 18:29 |

| engineer | i think synaptic does | 18:34 |
| helpy | thats what i am installing atm engineer | 18:34 |
| genii | Lynet: An error during file copy indicates some problem and you would not really want it to continue under those circumstances. eg: source file is corrupt, or location to copy to has physical hd problems, etc | 18:34 |
| numan | helpy: i think you should use dpkg-remove command to remove broken package first | 18:34 |

| SpeS | hi | 18:37 |
| engineer | hi spaniard | 18:37 |
| Lynet | genii: That is not always the case. In some cases it is much better to get a (non-blocking) notification of failures but having the rest of the copy job proceed as normal. | 18:38 |
| Danger_XXX | VLC -- there is no relevant version for my Kubuntu (hardy heron) | 18:38 |
| SpeS | engineer, how do you know that? :) | 18:39 |
| Lynet | genii: Take for example copying umpteen thousand mp3's to my cell phone, a few of which have file names not supported by the destination file system. | 18:39 |

| oblenob | I am considering running Kubuntu | 19:34 |
| ActionParsnip | oblenob: cool | 19:34 |
| oblenob | I cant stand Windows any longer | 19:34 |
| oblenob | :D | 19:34 |
| nogden | well, don't consider... do | 19:35 |
| oblenob | yup | 19:35 |
| helpy | you are making an awesome decision oblenob | 19:35 |
| oblenob | I know | 19:35 |
| oblenob | I know | 19:35 |
| helpy | you wont regret | 19:35 |
| oblenob | of course | 19:35 |
| oblenob | but | 19:35 |
| oblenob | I am thinking about one or two things | 19:36 |
| FSHero | Hello there: is anyone else having troubles with Kubuntu Hardy 2.6.24-19 kernel? When I boot into it, X tries to start (can see a mouse cursor briefly) but then it drops me to the console. | 19:36 |
| oblenob | I use flash | 19:36 |
| FSHero | (Note: I'm using nvidia drivers from the repository -- possible conflict?) | 19:36 |
| helpy | did you google it FSHero ? | 19:36 |
| nogden | FSHero:possibly, working fine here but that's on an ATI card with OSS drivers | 19:36 |
| oblenob | does Wine run on KDE? | 19:38 |
| oblenob | I dont really understand that | 19:38 |
| oblenob | and will I be able to use flash? | 19:38 |
| FSHero | helpy: okay I'll do that | 19:38 |
| pim | oblenob what do you mean by flash | 19:38 |
| pim | as in firefox when browsing the web: yes | 19:38 |
| oblenob | I mean | 19:38 |
| Pici | oblenob: KDE and Gnome are just desktop environments on top of Linux, nearly everything can be run in either | 19:38 |
| oblenob | the program to create flash stuff | 19:39 |
| oblenob | Flash CS3 | 19:39 |
| Drk_Guy | !wine | oblenob | 19:39 |
| ubottu | oblenob: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 19:39 |
| Drk_Guy | Wine integrates specially well with KDE | 19:39 |
| oblenob | brilliant | 19:39 |
| oblenob | :) | 19:39 |
| oblenob | are there any good music creation tools for linux? | 19:39 |
| oblenob | I am a lover of open source | 19:40 |
| oblenob | I allready use GIMp, Blender, OpenOffice | 19:40 |
| oblenob | etc | 19:40 |
| oblenob | but I know only of audacity for audio | 19:40 |
| oblenob | and that is editing | 19:40 |
| oblenob | rather than creation | 19:40 |
| nogden | by music creation what do you mean exactly? | 19:40 |
| nogden | recording? | 19:40 |
| nogden | or synthesis | 19:40 |
| oblenob | like | 19:41 |
| oblenob | synthesis | 19:41 |
| oblenob | I use FLStudio | 19:41 |
| oblenob | well | 19:41 |
| oblenob | a hack of it | 19:41 |
| oblenob | I cant afford the full version | 19:41 |
| nogden | don't really know to be honest... I use Hydrogen for drums but other then that I haven't explored | 19:42 |
| Pici | Check out the dependencies of ubuntstudio-audio, or just install the whole metapackage if you have the free harddrive space | 19:42 |
| oblenob | I got 35 Gigs | 19:42 |
| nogden | I think there's possibly a version of Reason for linux | 19:42 |
| oblenob | not much :( | 19:42 |
| Ayabara | the wireless network on my gf's computer have gone mad. what can I delete to get rid of all the stored network setting I have entered and get a fresh start? | 19:43 |
| === minera3 is now known as kuadrosx | ||
| === root is now known as Guest49564 | ||
| ActionParsnip | Ayabara: if you renmae the /etc/network/interfaces file and reboot, you'll get a fresh one | 19:46 |
| p_quarles | Ayabara, iirc, some settings are stored by knetworkmanager, and passkeys are stored by kwalletmanager -- to get rid of everything, you'd need to reset both of them | 19:46 |
| Ayabara | ActionParsnip: ok. I'll give it a try | 19:46 |
| Ayabara | p_quarles: actually I use kde and my gf use gnome, so maybe the tip from ActionParsnip will work for her | 19:47 |
| p_quarles | Ayabara, only if the problem is the name of the network device (doubtful) | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Ayabara: its all the same, just the front bit you see is different | 19:48 |
| p_quarles | the equivalents in Gnome would be networkmanager(-applet) and Gnome-Keyring | 19:48 |
| oblenob | hmm about my music thing | 19:50 |
| oblenob | I guess I could use the software that I am developing with some friends in python | 19:50 |
| ActionParsnip | oblenob: check audacity | 19:50 |
| oblenob | I use that allready | 19:51 |
| === nils_ is now known as Guest76093 | ||
| oblenob | I ean for music creation | 19:51 |
| FSHero | helpy: I did searches like 2.6.24-19 and cannot start X... but no dice :( | 19:51 |
| oblenob | liek an alternative to imagelines FlStudio | 19:51 |
| helpy | umm | 19:51 |
| helpy | what do you want to do ? | 19:51 |
| FSHero | helpy: are there some general tips I can use to get a display working after a kernel upgrade? | 19:51 |
| FSHero | helpy: I am booted into a 2.6.24-18 kernel right now... so maybe I shall stick with this for a while. | 19:52 |
| FSHero | helpy: should I remove, then install, the 2.6.24-19 kernel? | 19:52 |
| helpy | try that FSHero | 19:53 |
| helpy | why are you upgrading kernel anyways ? | 19:53 |
| FSHero | helpy: I'm upgrading because Adept updater offered it to me :) | 19:54 |
| FSHero | helpy: thx for helping! | 19:54 |
| ActionParsnip | hey all | 19:55 |
| ActionParsnip | whats the force command for dpkg -i please?? | 19:55 |
| helpy | no idea | 19:56 |
| === udi is now known as venik | ||
| BluesKaj | !dpkg | 19:58 |
| ubottu | dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. | 19:58 |
| BluesKaj | !force | 19:58 |
| ubottu | Factoid force not found | 19:58 |
| venik | Does anyone speak SAMBA here? I am trying to share a printer that is on a kubuntu 8.04 machine with a WINDOWS XP machine | 19:58 |
| venik | what should I put in the smb.conf file? | 19:58 |
| venik | the GUI tools do not seem to work | 19:59 |
| venik | !samba | 19:59 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 19:59 |
| BluesKaj | ActionParsnip, I think it could be sudo dpkg -i -f packagname | 19:59 |
| === kurumin is now known as andre | ||

| ActionParsnip | haha no backtalk sukka. errrrrrr!!! | 20:00 |
| * ActionParsnip flexes his pecks | 20:00 | |
| Agent_bob | the ati howto says i don't need the propritary driver. yet i can't watch vidios with the free ati driver nor the vesa driver. should i try the non-free one anyway ? | 20:01 |
| BluesKaj | venik , use the printer wizard for a network printer, if the printer is connected to the windows pc , set up on windows smb network then as guest . | 20:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Agent_bob: what card do you have?? | 20:02 |
| venik | THe printer is connected to the Kubuntu machine, and does not appear when I browse for it on the XP machine | 20:03 |
| venik | that is why I am asking here | 20:03 |
| ActionParsnip | venik: have you shared it with samba?? | 20:03 |
| venik | I am not sure how to do that | 20:03 |
| Agent_bob | R200 something | 20:03 |
| Agent_bob | ActionParsnip ^ | 20:03 |
| BluesKaj | venik, samba will use the cups system for network printing , and then you have to make sure to choose the driver for the printer | 20:03 |
| helpy | anyone knows about mic issues ? | 20:03 |
| helpy | i can't get my mic to work | 20:03 |
| helpy | audio is fine | 20:03 |
| helpy | i mean listening | 20:04 |
| venik | the printer works, so I guess the driver is correct | 20:04 |
| nogden | Agent_bob:should be able to get that working... I have an r300 chipset on the ati open source driver running fine | 20:04 |
| venik | (it is connected to the kubuntu machine with a palallel connection) | 20:04 |
| BluesKaj | venik have you set the printer up to share on the network ? | 20:04 |
| nogden | Agent_bob: what's in your xorg.conf | 20:04 |
| venik | How do I do that, Blues? SHould I put something about it in the smb.conf? | 20:05 |
| BluesKaj | from the windows pc | 20:05 |
| Agent_bob | nogden working ? what do you mean "working"? | 20:05 |
| BluesKaj | the windows pc has to see the printer first of all | 20:05 |
| nogden | Agent_bob: video | 20:05 |
| venik | Blue-- I chose Add a network printer | 20:05 |
| Agent_bob | nogden xorg is faltless it's just playing vidios that doesn't work correctly. | 20:05 |
| nogden | Agent_bob: do you have composite and aiglx enabled? | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Agent_bob: http://www.michaellarabel.com/?k=blog&i=109 | 20:06 |
| Agent_bob | nogden no. | 20:06 |
| BluesKaj | venik, you may have to add a driver on the windows pc | 20:06 |
| Agent_bob | ActionParsnip k. looking. | 20:07 |
| nogden | Agent_bob: and what happens when you try and play a video? Blank screen but you still gt audio? | 20:07 |
| * pim is away: Is voor nu afwezig. | 20:07 | |
| venik | Blues-- can you be a little more vague? What exactly do you mean? | 20:07 |
| venik | I thought if XP found the printer on the SAMBA list (in the workgroup) it should just use the printer | 20:08 |
| BluesKaj | venik in thew windows print wizard there's an option to install a printer driver ' | 20:08 |
| venik | yes-- ADD PRINTER | 20:09 |
| BluesKaj | driver | 20:09 |
| venik | CHOOSE NETWORK PRINTER | 20:09 |
| Agent_bob | nogden no. plays just fine until i switch tty's then the vidio portion of the movie is only a brown curtain looking screen only fix is a power off/on cycle. happens in all movie players. | 20:09 |
| venik | I see no such thing-- I am looking at the Wizard, and it goes: Add-->Network-->browse--> at which point the printer should show up, but it does not, probably because of the incorrect smb.conf file | 20:11 |
| Agent_bob | ActionParsnip something in particular on hat blog or did you miss that it's about ati+beryl ? | 20:11 |
| venik | (other printers do show up, btw) | 20:11 |
| Agent_bob | s/hat/that/ | 20:11 |
| === root is now known as Guest40569 | ||
| ActionParsnip | Agent_bob: its to do with your gfx card | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Agent_bob: ati + linux arent great mates | 20:12 |
| joker | hello rom | 20:13 |
| joker | room | 20:13 |
| Agent_bob | ActionParsnip "ati + linux arent great mates" heh ati and anything that i know of arent great mates mate. | 20:14 |
| venik | 8.04 | 20:14 |
| BluesKaj | venik , you have to do it from windows, not linux | 20:14 |
| joker | can enny 1 tell me how to get yahoo to run on linux | 20:14 |
| Agent_bob | ActionParsnip but it's a lappy, i can't exactly change the card without changing the mb | 20:15 |
| lovre | i have a file, with some lines, how do i sort the lines alphabetically inside a file? | 20:15 |
| venik | as I said above, there is no such place on my xp. Only the sequence: add printer>network printer>browse for a printer | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Agent_bob: looks like you need the open source driver | 20:15 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | joker: go to the address bar and type http://www.yahoo.com | 20:15 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | Agent_bob: haven't heard about the 4850 have you? | 20:15 |
| Agent_bob | and it's got other ati chips on the board too as if things werent bad enough | 20:15 |
| venik | I am almost certain that I have to add something to my smb.conf file for the printer to appear on the samba network | 20:16 |
| joker | i have it installed but itcant find serv?? | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Agent_bob: xserver-xorg-video-ati | 20:16 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | they're shipping linux drivers on-disc with those and going to a mostly platform-independent driver architecture (a la nvidia) | 20:16 |
| venik | the only question is: what do I add? | 20:16 |
| Agent_bob | ActionParsnip 4850 ummm no. | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Agent_bob: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 20:16 |
| venik | I uncommented most of the things that looked promising, but none did the trick | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Agent_bob: Full 3D support (r100 and r200 series) | 20:16 |
| Agent_bob | ActionParsnip not avalable in dapper only xserver-xorg-driver-ati | 20:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Agent_bob: search the page for R200 | 20:17 |
| joker | daisuk it dosnt let me log in says not coneted to the net but i am lol | 20:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Agent_bob: then add aiglx | 20:17 |
| BluesKaj | venik , I would connect the printer to the windows pc ...linux talks to windows beterr than vice versa...I used to have a HP printer connected to my wife's windows pc due the ease of the cups system | 20:18 |
| shoklowitz | hi, I just closed and restarted my kmix, and now my on screen displays for volume are gone and I can't mute using Fn+Mute anymore. | 20:18 |
| shoklowitz | Anyone have any ideas? | 20:18 |

| ActionParsnip | reboots always fix stuff | 20:21 |
| joker | ty | 20:22 |
| Agent_bob | ActionParsnip why am i not seeing anything useful on that page ? | 20:23 |
| Agent_bob | could it be because it's primarily for hardy and i'm on dapper or maybe the fact that i'm not interested in 3d ? | 20:24 |
| Agent_bob | and it only covers the driver i'm already using for dapper ? | 20:24 |
| ActionParsnip | what is the line in lspci for your gfx casrd please] | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Agent_bob: lspci -nn | grep VGA | 20:26 |
| shoklowitz | Hi again. That sort of worked. Now I have the OSD for Vol + And Vol - But no OSD for my Fn+Mute | 20:27 |

| Agent_bob | a100 i think. | 20:29 |
| shoklowitz | Ok so I just sudo restart again? | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Agent_bob: what model, theres a million tosh sattelites, can you check | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | shoklowitz: id check to make sure the stuff you didi to get OSD is stil standing | 20:29 |
| Agent_bob | ActionParsnip http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d25d8ac00 here is -vv | 20:30 |
| shoklowitz | I didn't do much at all. Someone here told me to do a sudo restart of some sort | 20:30 |
| Agent_bob | ActionParsnip where would i check ? no paper work on it | 20:30 |
| shoklowitz | I did and it worked. Only I can't mute now. | 20:30 |
| shoklowitz | I forgot what the command was. I had tried a normal restart before, but that hadn't worked. This did. | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | shoklowitz: ok | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Agent_bob: check on the bottom | 20:31 |
| shoklowitz | Any ideas about what I should do now? | 20:32 |

| kakoonia | is it worthy? whats your prefered? | 20:40 |

| shoklowitz | After the sudo restart -r now, the Fn+Vol is now working great as well the OSD. But Mute doesn't display an OSD, nor does it actually Mute anything. | 20:41 |
| Drk_Guy | It works fine with ALSA | 20:41 |
| Drk_Guy | But not with ARTS | 20:41 |

| da1l6 | solidus, cupswrapperhl2040 is not an kubuntu package. i suggest removing it and try the hl2060 driver: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Brother-HL-2040 | 21:06 |
| BluesKaj | solidus, as for the 50mb partition , unless it was an XP rescue application , the removing it will be fine, and you are correct about having to edit the grubmenu.list to add the windows bootloader | 21:07 |
| oblenob | looks like flash aint supported on linux :( | 21:08 |
| oblenob | flash development | 21:08 |
| solidus | ok all, I am going to reboot and see what I can get done, thanks for your help so far. Will report back soon | 21:08 |
| oblenob | how do I work out what I need to download? | 21:13 |
| oblenob | I have managed to get... | 21:13 |
| oblenob | http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/kubuntu/releases/8.04/release/ | 21:13 |
| oblenob | there | 21:13 |
| oblenob | but I have no idea what I should be downloading | 21:14 |
| oblenob | I know it is an ISO | 21:14 |
| DarthFrog | oblenob: What machine do you have (i.e. CPU)? | 21:14 |
| oblenob | uum | 21:14 |
| oblenob | *chechs | 21:15 |
| oblenob | Pentium 4 CPU 3.40GHz | 21:15 |
| DarthFrog | oblenob: As a default, get: | 21:15 |
| DarthFrog | http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/kubuntu/releases/8.04/release/kubuntu-8.04-dvd-i386.iso | 21:15 |
| oblenob | cool | 21:15 |
| oblenob | and when I come to setting up the internet connection | 21:16 |
| DarthFrog | Burn it to DVD, then boot from it. It'll load as a live CD system. | 21:16 |
| oblenob | is there anything I have to do? | 21:16 |
| oblenob | so I will be booted into Kubuntu? | 21:16 |
| DarthFrog | Try it and see. if you're using DHCP, it'll work. | 21:16 |
| SHAMO | hi ..how do i get nvidia gforce 8500 drivers to work ??? | 21:17 |
| DarthFrog | Yes. But as a live CD, which will not write to your hard drive by default. | 21:17 |
| oblenob | okay | 21:17 |
| oblenob | then | 21:17 |
| DarthFrog | You can install from the live CD boot, though, there'll be an icon on the desktop. | 21:17 |
| oblenob | will I be able from there | 21:17 |
| oblenob | to get all my files saved that I wanna kepp and then install Kubuntu and Get rid of flippin' Windaes | 21:17 |
| oblenob | ? | 21:18 |
| DarthFrog | back up your data in Windows first. | 21:18 |
| oblenob | okay | 21:18 |
| oblenob | I have no means of backup | 21:18 |
| oblenob | well | 21:18 |
| DarthFrog | Play it safe and backup first. | 21:18 |
| frothir | hi, is there any way to atomaticly switch off the touchpad when i plug in a usb mouse | 21:18 |
| oblenob | not really | 21:18 |
| SHAMO | http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_173.14.09.html <----used this one ..but it telling me coundt find it | 21:18 |
| DarthFrog | oblenob: You can burn a DVD. | 21:18 |
| oblenob | aah hangon a sec | 21:18 |
| oblenob | I am on a diferent computer here | 21:18 |
| oblenob | than the one I plan to run on | 21:18 |
| oblenob | that one does not have a DVD drive | 21:19 |
| DarthFrog | Then use Windows networking to grab the files you want to burn to DVD. | 21:19 |
| oblenob | the one I plan to run it on is not coping with windows | 21:19 |
| oblenob | I am having trouble running it easily for more than five minutes | 21:19 |
| BluesKaj | oblenob, have you considered dual booting windows and linux ? | 21:20 |
| oblenob | no | 21:20 |
| oblenob | I plan to get rid of windows | 21:20 |
| BluesKaj | it might be safer for your windows data | 21:20 |
| oblenob | hmm | 21:20 |
| oblenob | are there any free Hard Disk partitioning things aroiund? | 21:20 |
| BluesKaj | windows has it's faults but you may need it in the future , and you can still run linux to your hearts content :) | 21:21 |
| oblenob | that will work on fudgy slow windows | 21:21 |
| DarthFrog | oblenob: You can do it from the boot CD, I think. | 21:21 |
| oblenob | I have Windows on the machine I am on now | 21:21 |
| DarthFrog | The program will be qtparted. | 21:21 |
| oblenob | this one keeps windows | 21:21 |
| DarthFrog | Or gparted. | 21:22 |
| oblenob | the other one gets the luxury of linux | 21:22 |
| BluesKaj | GParted Live Cd is the best partition editor IMO | 21:22 |
| da1l6 | you can run gparted from a live cd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 21:22 |
| hagus | I have installed the Hardy Heron and am wanting to make my default web-server (used for local testing of php scripts mainly) a folder under my User Home Directory. Is this the right place to ask about that? | 21:22 |
| DarthFrog | oblenob: Or you can just buy a new hard drive. :-) | 21:22 |
| oblenob | yah | 21:22 |
| oblenob | I will do that | 21:22 |
| oblenob | I am hoping to get an external HD | 21:22 |
| oblenob | 1 TB | 21:22 |
| oblenob | I am an editor for an online TV show | 21:23 |
| oblenob | actually I run thw TV Show myself | 21:23 |
| oblenob | I am still getting it going | 21:23 |
| oblenob | and so I will have a LOT of video and audio files | 21:23 |
| hagus | Is it some Apache file that I need to edit to make my normal place for html/php documents a directory under my User home? | 21:23 |
| Musashi | Hi! I'd like to have cron run a job in case there are files in a certain directory. as far as I can tell I need to give a filename to use the file tests parameters, but that's not what I want. How can I do that thing? thx :D | 21:24 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: Yes, the DocumentRoot setting in http.conf. | 21:24 |
| SHAMO | someone here had trouble with NVIDIA DRIVERS ??? | 21:24 |
| hagus | ty DarthFrog :) | 21:24 |
| BluesKaj | !nVidia | 21:24 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 21:24 |
| oblenob | !help | 21:25 |
| 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 | 21:25 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: I think it's set to /var/www/ by default. | 21:25 |
| n00bs_r_ppl_too | is kubuntu faster than ubuntu? | 21:25 |
| hagus | ty darth | 21:26 |
| hagus | ty DarthFrog :) | 21:26 |
| DarthFrog | n00bs_r_ppl_too: It's not faster or slower. it is a different desktop environment. Ubuntu is GNOME, Kubuntu is KDE. Different strokes for different folks. | 21:26 |
| DarthFrog | n00bs_r_ppl_too: KDE is more configurable by the user than GNOME. | 21:26 |
| n00bs_r_ppl_too | hmm ok | 21:27 |
| oblenob | KDE is awsome | 21:27 |
| oblenob | I have friends who use it | 21:27 |
| pixel386 | is there a nice, centralized place for finding kubuntu repos? I'm primarily looking for some KDE appearance stuff atm (I want me some tango icons that work, window decorations). | 21:27 |
| oblenob | many friends | 21:27 |
| DarthFrog | pixel386: Try kde-look.org | 21:28 |
| NekosolTeraDyne | pixel386: http://www.kde-look.org/ | 21:28 |
| pixel386 | NekosolTeraDyne: that's not a repo ;) | 21:28 |
| pixel386 | thanks, though | 21:28 |
| BluesKaj | !repository | 21:28 |
| ubottu | The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 21:28 |
| pixel386 | *clicky clicky* | 21:29 |
| DarthFrog | Does anyone know of a migration guide for moving to KDE4 from KDE3? | 21:30 |
| pixel386 | not I, but the guys in #kde are very helpful (when not zombies) | 21:32 |
| DarthFrog | KDE 4.1 beta 2 has been released. I just upgraded from beta 1. | 21:32 |
| pixel386 | are you having any specific issues? | 21:33 |
| DarthFrog | pixel386: yeah, all the config files from KDE3. Can I just move them to ~/.kde4? | 21:33 |
| KRF | DarthFrog, try it ;) | 21:33 |
| pixel386 | DarthFrog: doubt it | 21:34 |
| DarthFrog | Actually, can I just rename ~/.kde to ~/.kde4? | 21:34 |
| pixel386 | DarthFrog: back them up just in case | 21:34 |
| oblenob | I am off :) | 21:34 |
| oblenob | downloading Kubuntu now | 21:34 |
| pixel386 | oblenob: good luck! :D | 21:34 |
| oblenob | I will leave it overnight | 21:34 |
| DarthFrog | I'd kinda like to keep the gigs of mail I have. All the accounts, passwords, etc. | 21:34 |
| pixel386 | oblenob: remember to burn at a low speed | 21:34 |
| oblenob | what differce does the burn speed make? | 21:35 |
| pixel386 | DarthFrog: all that stuff should be importable | 21:35 |
| oblenob | I will burn low yeah | 21:35 |
| oblenob | I have known to do that for a while | 21:35 |
| pixel386 | DarthFrog: from the KDE 4 apps themselves, that is | 21:35 |
| oblenob | but why? | 21:35 |
| DarthFrog | oblenob: It's safer. | 21:35 |
| pixel386 | oblenob: you have a better chance of getting a clean burn | 21:35 |
| oblenob | aah cool | 21:35 |
| oblenob | how many attempts did it take you? | 21:35 |
| pixel386 | oblenob: less fast = less wobbly, generally | 21:35 |
| pixel386 | oblenob: just one, I use k3b ;) | 21:35 |
| oblenob | k3b? | 21:36 |
| DarthFrog | pixel386: Good point. :-) Why didn't I think of that? | 21:36 |
| pixel386 | oblenob: the kde burner frontend | 21:36 |
| oblenob | aah | 21:36 |
| oblenob | I cant do that :( | 21:36 |
| DarthFrog | oblenob: K3B is *the* best CD/DVD burning app going. | 21:36 |
| oblenob | but... | 21:36 |
| pixel386 | oblenob: it automatically does whatever is a reasonably "safe" speed ;) | 21:36 |
| oblenob | cool | 21:36 |
| oblenob | what is a reccomended burn speed? | 21:36 |
| pixel386 | DarthFrog: it lets you rip DVDs, too :D. I just backed up a bunch of mine | 21:36 |
| DarthFrog | oblenob: And wait till you try Amarok. :-) | 21:36 |
| pixel386 | oblenob: 4x | 21:36 |
| DarthFrog | pixel386: Oh, I know what K3B can do. :-) | 21:37 |
| oblenob | the software I am using has something like 200X as the slowest | 21:37 |
| oblenob | no | 21:37 |
| oblenob | 20X | 21:37 |
| hagus | DarthFrog: I am at /var/www using Dolphin. What tool do I need to change the permissions for that directory? | 21:37 |
| pixel386 | oblenob: lame. Well, just make sure that if it's a laptop, it's on a level surface | 21:37 |
| oblenob | I am using a desktop | 21:37 |
| Odd-rationale | hagus: you may need to be root | 21:37 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: From the command line, use the chmod command. | 21:37 |
| hagus | ta :) | 21:37 |
| oblenob | I will do a hunt for burning stuffs :) | 21:37 |
| oblenob | anyways | 21:38 |
| DarthFrog | Odd-rationale: sudo works fine. | 21:38 |
| pixel386 | oblenob: good luck, then! | 21:38 |
| oblenob | I need to do some writing :) | 21:38 |
| Odd-rationale | DarthFrog: yes, that is what i meant... | 21:38 |
| === benjamin is now known as benjamin__ | ||
| === benjamin__ is now known as benjamin__es | ||
| DarthFrog | Odd-rationale: :-) | 21:38 |
| pixel386 | hagus: if you hate the CLI with a passion, you can always 'kdesu' random things | 21:38 |
| pixel386 | hmm, although I'm not sure if `kdesu dolphin` would necessarily be safe. Works great, though! | 21:39 |
| * oblenob is excited | 21:39 | |
| pixel386 | oblenob: it'll be even more awesome when kde 4.1 comes out :D | 21:40 |
| oblenob | should I wait? | 21:40 |
| hagus | pixel, if I knew what you were saying, I would know whether you were teasing me or helping me :) | 21:40 |
| oblenob | how easy is it to upgrade? | 21:40 |
| pixel386 | oblenob: nope | 21:40 |
| pixel386 | oblenob: pretty easy, I'd thjink | 21:40 |
| oblenob | cool | 21:40 |
| pixel386 | oblenob: personally, I'm going to set up a new user for testing stuff out first | 21:40 |
| hagus | <---- ignorantish fellow :) | 21:40 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: :-) Press Alt-F2 and type "kdesu dolphin" in the entry field. | 21:40 |
| pixel386 | oblenob: then I'd back up my kde settings dir, delete the kde3 one, and start fresh w/ KDE 4's settings. | 21:41 |
| hagus | ty DarthFrog :) | 21:41 |
| DarthFrog | Then browse to /var and right-click on www. Select "Properties" | 21:41 |
| pixel386 | oblenob: but that's just because you can do that kinda thing w/ linux ;). It's probably completely safe | 21:41 |
| oblenob | cool | 21:41 |
| oblenob | anyway | 21:41 |
| oblenob | I got a lot of writing to do | 21:41 |
| pixel386 | ok, go write then! | 21:42 |
| oblenob | I am trying to make a tutorial for blender | 21:42 |
| oblenob | bye :) | 21:42 |
| pixel386 | nice :D | 21:42 |
| oblenob | and thanks for your help | 21:42 |
| * pixel386 hugs the fish:// protocol thingie | 21:42 | |
| pixel386 | np | 21:42 |
| hagus | The permissions are greyed out and the ownership is given as root for group and user. | 21:44 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: You used kdesu? | 21:45 |
| pixel386 | `kdesu dolphin` worked like a charm for me | 21:45 |
| hagus | I had already used the konsole thing that I fetched from the menu of dolphin | 21:45 |
| pixel386 | didn't even ask for a password (a little creepy) | 21:45 |
| hagus | Does kdesu toggle me back and forth or is it towards sudo only? | 21:45 |
| pixel386 | hagus: do alt+f2, then kdesu dolphin | 21:45 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: Close that instance of dolphin and go the kdesu route. | 21:45 |
| hagus | ty both | 21:46 |
| pixel386 | hagus: kdesu gives root perms to a kde app | 21:46 |
| pixel386 | probably any app, really | 21:46 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: Be careful when running as root (including sudo and kdesu). You can really damage the system if you're not careful. | 21:46 |
| DarthFrog | <--- who uses "sudo su -" regularly. :-) | 21:47 |
| jussi01 | DarthFrog: you shouldnt use sudo su - sudo -i is a much better alternative | 21:47 |
| DarthFrog | jussio1: Actually, I just enabled the root account and was done with it. | 21:48 |
| * jussi01 wonders if kdesu is now aliased to kdesudo.. | 21:48 | |
| SHAMO | damnn cant enter kde anymore after installing nvidia-xconfig ...-_-!!) | 21:50 |
| DarthFrog | SHAMO: What happens? | 21:51 |
| pixel386 | SHAMO: oh noes | 21:51 |
| SHAMO | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia <---did this | 21:52 |
| SHAMO | but now i get black screen .. | 21:52 |
| pixel386 | jussi01: it is. No wonder there was no passwd request | 21:52 |
| hagus | sorry - I pressed ctrl -alt - f2 :) | 21:52 |
| pixel386 | SHAMO: time to check the xorg log - /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 21:53 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: That's also a very useful key combo. | 21:53 |
| pixel386 | SHAMO: you can upload it to a pastebin like pastebin.ca | 21:53 |
| hagus | It took me to some scary text prompter :) | 21:53 |
| pixel386 | heh | 21:53 |
| pixel386 | it took you to VT2 | 21:53 |
| hagus | That was it :) | 21:54 |
| pixel386 | it's very handy | 21:54 |
| pixel386 | if xorg dies on you in some way you can always switch to a VT and go to town... | 21:54 |
| hagus | However, even when I sudo to \var\ww, it tells me that I cannot change the permissions there. | 21:54 |
| pixel386 | like when firefox was triggering memory leaks for me | 21:54 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: CTL-ALT-F[1-6] takes you to 6 different virtual terminals. ALT-F7 brings you back. | 21:55 |
| * hagus makes a mental note to only remember alt-f7 :) | 21:55 | |
| DarthFrog | hagus: what permissions do you want? | 21:55 |
| hagus | Basically, I want to have a directory where I can test out html and php files, using a mysql database. | 21:55 |
| DarthFrog | Yah but what specific owner/group/world permissions do you want? | 21:56 |
| hagus | I want to try the logic of these out before I put them on a website. | 21:56 |
| DarthFrog | I'll give you the proper chmod command. | 21:56 |
| hagus | my username on the computer is calum | 21:56 |
| hagus | So I want calum to be able to have a kind of real or virtual webserver just to test things. | 21:57 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: Do you know how to configure Apache? | 21:58 |
| hagus | So only calum would need the permissions I think :) | 21:58 |
| hagus | I have edited httpd.cnf in the past | 21:58 |
| hagus | With guidance :) | 21:58 |
| DarthFrog | Then do it there for your home directory. | 21:58 |
| solidus | To BluesKaj and da1l6, thanks for your help. My Kubuntu install is working again and I am very happy! :D :D :D | 21:59 |
| * hagus goes off to have another go at this thing :) | 21:59 | |
| DarthFrog | hagus: Remember Rule 1. | 21:59 |
| xenol | when i am working in virtual console, sometimes my X restarts, /var/log/Xorg.log says erros about this http://pastebin.org/45956 | 22:00 |
| xenol | any ideas? | 22:00 |
| === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde | ||
| solidus | I have one more quick question, is it possible to use a proxy in Kopete or Konversation? I can not get an IRC connection through my dorms, unless I run it through a proxy | 22:00 |
| pixel386 | DarthFrog: don't drink and root? | 22:00 |
| hagus | Rule1? | 22:01 |
| DarthFrog | pixel386: Ooh, that'd be a good one! :-) | 22:01 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: Rule 1: Remember this is supposed to be fun. Have fun! | 22:01 |
| DarthFrog | :-) | 22:01 |
| * pixel386 has fun watching rsync copy over his files | 22:01 | |
| pixel386 | yay for rsync | 22:01 |
| DarthFrog | Rsync rocks! | 22:02 |
| hagus | lol | 22:02 |
| pixel386 | it truly is awesome. My laptop died but I was still able to ssh into it and run my rsync backup script... now on the other computer I can rsync the stuff over here :D | 22:02 |
| pixel386 | all while watching Arrested Development on hulu | 22:03 |
| pixel386 | woot | 22:03 |
| hagus | should httpd.conf be blank by default? | 22:05 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: Uh, no. | 22:06 |
| hagus | I installed webmin on my machine. I wonder if I have messed things up for apache2? | 22:06 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: Open up a konsole. Type "sudo updatedb". When that command finishes. type "locate httpd.conf". | 22:07 |
| edj | lost network-manager and trying to install it from dpkg. but it reports that a dependencyis missing - libnl1-pre6. there is no such package, it is replaced by libnl1, which i have. so, what next? | 22:07 |
| hagus | ty DarthFrog :) | 22:08 |
| genii | DarthFrog: Actually yes, for he most part. Since the config file is now between apache2.conf and 000-default | 22:08 |
| DarthFrog | genii: I just installed apache2 and found that out. :-) | 22:08 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: /etc/apache/apache2.conf is the file you want. | 22:09 |
| DarthFrog | genii: The servers I administer run Fedora. :-) | 22:09 |
| genii | DarthFrog: Different strokes fer different folks. The servers I mainly deal with are FreeBSD for instance | 22:10 |
| DarthFrog | genii: I like FreeBSD. It's an excellent system. | 22:11 |
| DarthFrog | I almost wish that FreeBSD had succeded over Linux. | 22:12 |
| engineer | it's awesome that we all don't think the same way | 22:12 |
| DarthFrog | If it had, I wonder what RMS would have wanted it to change its name to? :-) | 22:12 |

| Martin80 | Hi, haven't been at IRC for a long time, new to this channel.. just a small question: I am running 08.04, the KDE4.1 beta version, and I just updated my desktop machine using apt-get dist-upgrade. Now, after entering my password I get an error message in a pop-up window: Could not start kstartupconfig4. Check your installation. I have created a new user, with a clean home-dir, but same error occurs. Anyone? | 22:14 |
| genii | BGNU | 22:15 |
| DarthFrog | genii: Wouldn't that be the GPL version of BeOS? :-) | 22:15 |
| jussi01 | Martin80: try asking in #kubuntu-kde4 :) | 22:15 |
| Martin80 | hm, jussi01, didn't know about that channel. Thanks :-) | 22:18 |
| Martin80 | bye.. | 22:18 |
| hagus | When I try to use su - I get told that my password is wrong. I also get this message which I believe to be as a result of webmin installation : Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-calum" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0 | 22:22 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: the "uid 1000" error is wrong, methinks. | 22:22 |
| DarthFrog | UID 0 is root. | 22:22 |
| DarthFrog | UID 1000 should be calum and should own kdecache-calum. | 22:23 |
| hagus | When I installed webadmin it requires a https://myhost:10000 | 22:23 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: "su -" won't work unless there is a password set for the root account. | 22:24 |
| andersin | I just installed the KDE4 beta 2 packages from the ppa repositories and now the KDE4 session is gone, does anyone know how to fix that? | 22:24 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: Try "sudo su -" instead. | 22:24 |
| hagus | Sudo seems to work but it still keeps the permissions greyed out. | 22:24 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: strange. | 22:24 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: I don't have an answer for you. is this still with Dolphin? | 22:25 |
| hagus | Even with konsole | 22:25 |
| hagus | Have tried it several times now with dolphin | 22:25 |
| genii | sudo for non gui apps, kdesu/kdesudo for kde graphical apps, gksu/gksudo for gnome/xfce graphical apps | 22:25 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: I just tried it. It Works For Me (tm). :-) | 22:25 |
| hagus | hm | 22:26 |
| genii | sudo on a gui app can really really make your life frustrating | 22:26 |
| andersin | genii:just use kdesu for that | 22:27 |
| === root is now known as Guest37354 | ||
| hagus | When I press alt-f2, I type dolphin into the dialog or is it kdesudo dolphin? | 22:27 |
| genii | andersin: Yes, thats what I just said earlier. As well as gksu on gnome or xfce gui apps | 22:27 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: This is somewhat insecure, do not put anything you care about in the directory. From the command line, type "sudo chmod 666 /var/www". That'll change the permissions. | 22:28 |
| genii | hagus: To run it as your own user no admin rights just the name. To run it with admin rights use kdesu | 22:28 |
| DarthFrog | hagus: To change it back, "sudo chmod 644 /var/www". | 22:29 |
| hagus | Hey, permissions are no longer greyed out ! | 22:30 |
| hagus | I was just writing dolphin into the dialog - it seems | 22:30 |
| hagus | Once I wrote kdesu dolphin - black appeared instead of grey :) | 22:30 |
| DarthFrog | Umm, isn't that what we told you to do? :-) | 22:31 |
| genii | hagus: Yes as per what I just told you... "[17:28] <genii> hagus: To run it as your own user no admin rights just the name. To run it with admin rights use kdesu" | 22:31 |
| hagus | I think so - but then I pressed CTRL -alt-f2 and found myself in a strange land :) | 22:31 |
| * genii hands hagus a coffee | 22:31 | |
| DarthFrog | hagus: CTL-ALT-F2 will put you at the command line. the raw, real stuff. | 22:32 |
| * hagus must have panicked. | 22:32 | |
| DarthFrog | Where the power is! hehehe (evil grin). | 22:32 |
| * hagus is reduced to a quivering jelly | 22:32 | |
| DarthFrog | hagus: If you can work in a GUI console, you can work in a virtual terminal. | 22:33 |
| hagus | I guess so but I do not work terribly comfortably in the konsole :) | 22:34 |
| * hagus is old - he started off using DOS :) | 22:34 | |
| DarthFrog | hagus: That's merely a matter of familiarity and knowledge. The more you use it, the better you use it. | 22:34 |
| DarthFrog | Time to walk the dog. Catch y'all later. | 22:35 |
| hagus | Ty for your help DarthFrog :) | 22:35 |
| hagus | ty for your help genii :) | 22:36 |

| delilaz | hello everyone I was wondering if there's a way to update the linux kernel? My current one is 2.6.15 | 23:46 |
| BluesKaj | yeah delilaz , make sure your adept notifier is functioning | 23:47 |
| bassem | BluesKaj: no ... wt is it ? | 23:48 |
| delilaz | it is, I think... if I do sudo apt-get updates... could that work??? | 23:49 |
| BluesKaj | bassem, when you installed hardy and rebooted did you see an option to use a restricted driver pop up dialog box ? if not then you'll ahve to search for the linux driver for your graphics | 23:49 |
| BluesKaj | sudo apt-get update , yes | 23:50 |
| BluesKaj | adept is apt gui delilaz | 23:50 |
| delilaz | yes thx I knew that at least :) | 23:51 |
| Ian_Buell | guys - need a little help... trying to install kubuntu and get an error message "executing 'grub-install (hd0)' failed. This is a fatal error. | 23:54 |
| Ian_Buell | at 94% complete it quits installing | 23:55 |
| candive | Anyone know why the load of ubuntu freezes during install. I lost the link to the answer.thank you | 23:56 |
| Ian_Buell | anyone know why? | 23:57 |
| el1te | is there any older versions of kubuntu that have "BTAUDIO module enabled" | 23:58 |
| delilaz | Hey BluesKaj, nothing comes up, is there a way to fetch and install the latest kernel manually? | 23:58 |
| BluesKaj | lookin adept | 23:58 |
| nowshining | does anyone know the patch, etc..that kubuntu uses to patch pango with? ie: to integrate more closely with kubuntu or compile option? as somethnings aren't integrated well with the vanilla pango. :D | 23:59 |
| el1te | i have to have the BTAUDIO module | 23:59 |
| delilaz | BluesKaj: and search for "kernel" | 23:59 |
| candive | I was trying to load ubuntu to a p 4 it froze | 23:59 |
| el1te | im guessing its gonna be in a 2.4 kernel.....so was there any kubuntu live cd versions that used 2.4 kernel? | 23:59 |
