[00:08] what is the command to mount a HDD? [00:08] sdc [00:09] codster: sudo mkdir /mnt/drive [00:09] Hi folks. I've recently upgraded my Thinkpad T61 from Gutsy to Hardy. Although audio was working previously and ThinkWiki claims it should "work out of the box", I am getting no audio output. [00:09] codster: sudo mount /dev/sdc /mnt/drive [00:09] There are no errors from the application; just no sound is emitted. [00:09] Any idea what I should check next? [00:10] Crell: updates can cause issues, clean install is much better [00:10] Crell: google for ubuntu T61 and you might get a walkthrough [00:10] So I've heard. I don't think a full reinstall is fesible at the moment, though. [00:10] mount poiint does not exsist [00:10] Crell: you may just have to remodprobe some module [00:10] Hm. [00:11] codster: yeah you gotta make it, read the first command i wrote [00:11] okay [00:11] there we go [00:11] codster: read EVERYTHING when someone helps [00:12] I can't change the resolution in zsnes.. doesn't seem to give me any reason for the error. Any ideas? [00:12] codster: you can mount anyplace you want really [00:13] yurimxpxman: do you have 3d accelleration [00:13] ActionParsnip: yes [00:13] ActionParsnip: Nothing useful from Google yet, save for links to the article I'm already reading on thinkwiki. [00:13] yurimxpxman: run it from command line without &, you'll get some outputs [00:14] who do you automatically sudo a whole kde session? [00:14] how* [00:14] greenfishx3: You don't want to do that. [00:14] Crell: ive seen too many folks get issues with upgrades so I always clean install [00:14] Great. [00:14] Crell, yeah but I just like to know hte answer sir :) [00:14] greenfishx3: do you mean install all of kde [00:15] yeah [00:15] greenfishx3: sudo apt-get install kde-desktop [00:15] tx [00:15] greenfishx3: use tab autocomplete for the package, i dont know exactly what it is [00:16] greenfishx3: Oh, I thought you wanted to run KDE itself as root, not install KDE. [00:16] I do that as well [00:16] Crell: ive talked to some idiots that do, so annoying [00:16] sorry english isnt my native language [00:17] ActionParsnip: Yeah, as I said, you don't want to do that. :-) [00:17] a friend is asking how to sudo an entire kde session [00:17] yeah but its his call [00:18] greenfishx3: id advise against, it doesnt actually achieve anything at all [00:18] greenfishx3- the package you want is kubuntu-desktop [00:18] ActionParsnip: it just says -> Could not set 1440x900-GL video mode. [00:18] Dragnslcr: cheers bro [00:18] hello i'm into trouble [00:18] yurimxpxman: can you do 1024 x 768> [00:18] i need some help [00:18] sup elseba?

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [00:20] ActionParsnip: I dunno... I don't know how to check, either. There's nothing about it in the man page. [00:20] ok, gracias [00:20] ActionParsnip: Any idea what I would need to modprobe, if that is the solution? [00:21] * Crell hasn't had to dick around with audio drivers in years. [00:21] Crell: i wouldnt know. you'll have to search round. Its usually something small like that [00:21] ActionParsnip: when system starts, video configuration is 640*480 and i can't change that. Moreover, i "loose" near 3 cm of screen [00:21] so youre not gonna tell me is that it? then please say so sir, otherwise im just taking up space [00:21] Joy. [00:22] yurimxpxman: check the settings, try using opengl [00:22] okay then [00:25] greenfishx3: log in at command line then run it as sudo [00:25] or have him log in as root [00:26] ActionParsnip: hes running it on vmware, so theres no danger [00:26] tell him hes an absolute idiot from me too [00:26] he tells me, the password isnt saved, so he has to do it everytime [00:26] sure lol [00:26] still doesnt warrant it, it achieves nothing and leaves your system vulnerable to nastys [00:27] its one of thereasons linux is more secure than linux [00:27] ActionParsnip: but this is on vmware.... [00:28] then itll get compromised as if it was running natively [00:28] is there a command to automatically configure your xorg.conf file for an nvidia driver? [00:28] if he keeps a backup of the image then its not so bad but its effort that can be avoided [00:28] ActionParsnip: my apologies for asking then [00:29] !nvidia | yurimxpxman [00:29] yurimxpxman: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:29] what is a good program to burn avi files to dvd..to play in a dvd player?

[03:49] I installed libdvdcss2 so I could play dvd's, and it worked for a couple, but now I've got one that doesn't work [03:50] kaffeine is saying to install libdvdcss again [03:50] is there anything else I need?

[03:59] help it error ? i can do that... >:] [03:59] I don't know but now KDM always run in not 4:3. [04:00] The jumping icon after clicking an item in the menu now just the colour not the icon. [04:01] ok there is one problem i can solve [04:01] *color [04:01] in my toolbar [04:01] the digital clock [04:01] vecciora sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm4 i think. unless you mean it's starting the wrong session. then logout and select session /login/ make default [04:01] i cant find my current time [04:01] kde's clock is a joke. [04:01] and a bad one at that. [04:02] The desktop running fine in 4:3. [04:02] lol [04:02] i have installed ff3 [04:02] where can I download libdvdread3? [04:02] I don't have synaptic installed [04:02] But it wasn't 4:3 in KDM. [04:02] it is in the adept manager [04:02] in a deb that is [04:02] the tar isn't ./configuring for me [04:03] I've never encounter the screen resolution problem in Ubuntu.

[04:03] yep [04:04] * intelikey [04:04] The most annoying thing in Ubuntu is screen resolution problem. [04:04] Hi everyone. I have a small doubt. I'm running Kubuntu, and I need to set it up so that I can lock the screen so that my colleagues can see the information on the desktop without being able to log in. [04:04] vecciora: Do you have an nVidia graphics card by any chance? [04:04] is libdvdread included within libdvdcss? Because I don't see libdvdread on medibuntu [04:05] Anyone know how I can set up a transparent screen lock? [04:05] stoffer err umm i dont think so. but. it may be in another repo...

[04:06] they have declassified it to universe now [04:06] But I have a problem with it. [04:07] It's about screen resolution. [04:07] vecciora: Do you have an nVidia graphics card? [04:07] shoklowitz: I've ATi [04:07] Has your card been detected? [04:07] shoklowitz have you tried setting the screensaver to a blank picture and adjusting it to transparent ? [04:07] shoklowitz: Dunno. [04:07] hi all.. i have this strange issue. some of the kde apps cant use internett,, like ktorrent | konqueror. etc etc.anyone got a clue why? [04:08] Alright [04:08] Go to [04:08] Menu>System>Hardware Drivers Manager [04:08] Often my Ubuntu be error. [04:08] I'm use KDE. [04:08] nuxil_: which apps are able to access? [04:09] Often my Ubuntu run in 4:3 and often no. [04:09] shoklowitz konversion is about it, [04:09] This make me confused. [04:09] Um Vecciora check in system>hardware drivers manager [04:09] i think. kde is confused about my nic devises. because. all other apps works fine "gtk" [04:10] shoklowitz: There is no such menu like that. [04:10] You mean Konversation? [04:10] yeah [04:10] nuxil konsole command " ping -c 1 64.233.167.99 " [04:10] i block ping [04:10] intelikey, its not a fw issue [04:11] that's not testing fw it's testing dns [04:11] Am I need to install fglrx? [04:11] my inet is eth2 and i think. kde thinks its eth0 somehow [04:11] i downloaded a .bz2 for ff3, what do i do with it? [04:11] vecciora: Open up your terminal window [04:11] but i'll stay out of it... suits me just fine. [04:11] And type sudo kde-jockey [04:12] !kdesu [04:12] In KDE, use « kdesudo » (Gutsy) or « kdesu » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [04:12] Intelikey, could you tell me the technical difference between kdm and kdm-kde4? [04:12] My real problem is often Ubuntu run in 4:3 and often not in 4:3 like 1280:960. [04:12] *1280x960 [04:13] shoklowitz sorry. no. [04:13] It must 1280x1024. [04:13] intelikey, its related to kde. bc all other types of apps works "gtk" ones. [04:13] I understand that Vecciora, but you might need to check if you have the drivers for your card installed [04:13] nuxil check the bug reports [04:14] !forums [04:14] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [04:14] !bugs [04:14] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [04:14] shoklowitz: So I must install fglrx? [04:14] it's there nuxil ^ [04:15] shoklowitz: My monitor can't run finely. Always be blank with a "HV Frequency Over Range" message after fglrx installed and used. [04:16] First you'd probably want to check if your card has been detected, it might running with generic drivers. For example, my laptop would run at low resolution on generic drivers, once I installed the nVidia drivers it worked at higher resolutions. [04:16] shoklowitz: Yeah it was detected. [04:16] The quickest way to find out if your graphics card has been detected, I think, would be to start kde-jockey [04:16] So it shows up on Kde-jockey? [04:16] shoklowitz: Command not found. [04:17] sudo kde-jockey [04:17] he's using Ubuntu I think [04:17] Oh [04:17] shoklowtiz: There is no command like that. [04:17] intelikey, where? what keywords you search on [04:17] mr-t: What's the equivalent on Ubuntu? [04:18] I don't know what you are trying to do [04:18] Does it function? sudo apt-get install fglrx-driver [04:18] nuxil craineal ram, i've see that same symptom described a houndred times in here. and the answer is on the forums also there was a bug report on it. [04:19] huu craineal ram? [04:19] But he should ask in #ubuntu [04:20] Vecciora, I believe you might find this useful: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide [04:20] shoklowitz: Thanks [04:20] It covers the installation of Ati Graphics [04:20] I'm use Kubuntu 7.10. [04:21] hmm 7.10 and kde4 [04:21] kde or gnome [04:21] Kubuntu 7.10 is the best OS for me until I've encountered this problem. :P [04:21] 7.10 Guide is here: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide [04:21] the ati drivers do seem tohave improved for my machines in the Latest release. [04:22] The wiki itself is devoted to ATi drivers for Linux machines, so I think you'll be fine if you follow the steps. [04:22] Dr_willis_ what chip ? [04:22] nVidia cards have always been a breeze to get working on most distros [04:23] Which is better? ATi or nVidia? [04:23] shoklowitz i wish my nv card was supported. [04:23] Sorry for asking that. [04:23] S3 :) [04:23] They're both great as graphics cards in themselves, but it seems Nvidia cards or better supported on Linux. [04:23] Which one do you have intelikey? [04:23] a non-supported one. [04:24] an old one [04:24] Ah, well, old hardware *is* sometimes hard to get working. Have you tried legacy driver packages? [04:24] There is no X1050 in the list. [04:24] But there is 9600. [04:24] !boot [04:24] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [04:25] yep it's not supported in legacy [04:25] Crap. [04:25] what's the chan for kubuntu dev? [04:25] !dev [04:25] Interested in becoming an Ubuntu Developer? Get started here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment [04:26] Would anyone know how to set up a transparent screen lock? [04:26] !kubuntu-dev [04:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about kubuntu-dev [04:26] You could just try #kubuntu-dev [04:26] i did [04:26] or #kubuntudev or some variation [04:26] Hmmm. [04:26] Google it? [04:27] /list *ubuntu* [04:27] How can I make my driver provide FireGL X11 extensions? [04:27] #kubuntu-devel [04:27] Here you go:#kubuntu-devel [04:28] Sorry, didn't see it [04:28] There's a list of channels here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [04:29] Does anyone know the technical difference between kdm and kdm-kde4? [04:30] technical? [04:30] I'm trying to set up a transparent screensaver so that I can use it as a screenlock, so that colleagues can view my desktop and information on it without being logged in. However, when I install a package of kde screensavers, it asks which display manager I'd like to use, kdm or kdm-kde4. I don't want to choose until I know the difference. [04:31] kde4 has its own login manager using the kde4 libs and stuff.. it looks different [04:31] stick with kde3 if you want. [04:31] And I think on my last kubuntu install I had picked kdm-kde4 and my log in manager changed. [04:31] if you want to change later 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm' will let you select the others. [04:31] Dr.Willis: I'm using Kubuntu Hardy, what display manager is on by default? [04:32] shoklowitz, if you are not using the remix version with kde4. then you are using the kde3 kdm [04:32] kd3 isn't listed as an option, I have kdm, and kdm-kde4 [04:32] K d m = 'kde display manager' [04:32] kdm is the kde3 one. [04:32] Oh. [04:33] You are making way too big a deal out of this. :) [04:33] So most probably I'm using Kde3 eh? [04:33] that would be my guess. [04:33] Well, I *am* a bit of a n00b. Bear with me :P [04:34] all kdm does is ask you for your name/password, and lets you pick what session. It may have a few other extra fetures you may use. But kdm3 or kdm4 wont matter much i imagine. they do the same basic job. just the looks may differ [04:35] does anyone use adesklets? [04:35] Ok. So in the list, kdm most probably means kde3 right? [04:36] shoklowitz he said that four times. [04:36] Ok now I'm confused. Kdm is the login manager, while kde is the display manager. [04:36] Sorry Intelikey. [04:36] kde is the "K desktop environment" [04:37] when i start kde i do it from gdm [04:37] So you're using the Gnome Login manager to login [04:37] when i use a gui yes [04:38] Ok. [04:38] i normally don't use any gui though [04:38] blasphmy! :) [04:39] truth. call it what you will [04:39] :) [04:39] I've fix it! [04:39] That's awesome. I bet using only text must five you a much better understanding of how things working. [04:39] intelikey, you use that 'dos thing?' :) [04:39] *of how things work. [04:39] and those haxor tools like screen. and bash! :P [04:40] lol denial of service or disk operating system or some other expansion of dos ? [04:40] DrDos :) [04:40] Help me! [04:40] I've a new problem. [04:40] Haha. teh l33tness it blindz meeh! [04:40] anyone use adesklets? [04:41] Jumping icon below the pointer now just look like a plain colour. [04:41] shoklowitz the good doctor is playing. he also spends a lot of time in a shell [04:41] Like when I execute Kopete it was just a plain blue color icon jumping. [04:41] Not the Kopete icon. [04:42] I used terminal a lot when I was using Gentoo. But never exclusively. [04:42] vecciora: I think this calls for a Visit to Dr.House. [04:43] You blue-myoscopialinfarctionitis. [04:43] How can I fresh reinstall KDE? [04:43] It seems my KDE broken or something. [04:43] I think it's best that you install kubuntu instead of installing ubuntu and then kde ontop of it. [04:43] vecciora, its a 'windows mentality' that when somthing messes up you 'remove/reinstall' that rarely works under linux. [04:43] might first rm -r ~/.kde* [04:43] That way you'll have easier access to things like the drivers manager on kde. [04:44] Dr_willis: Okay [04:44] Dr_willis_ don't forget the old 'reboot will fix anything' ism. [04:44] shoklowitz, it shouldent matter. ive isntalled ubuntu-desktop on kubuntu, and kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu. [04:45] intelikey: I've rebooted twice. [04:45] Dr.Willis: actually sometimes when I install kubuntu, my soundcard won't work. I pop in the DVD again, and it works fine the next time. I've done fresh installs on Hardy about 6 times, and it happens without fail every second time. So I guess sometimes reinstalling does work :P [04:45] see ^ [04:46] I know you can do that, but it gets awfully cluttered, and you have to work the small bugs that occur because you've got both. [04:46] shoklowitz, the only differance sound wise from ubuntu to kubuntu is that ubuntu now uses that Pulse audio stuff. [04:46] shoklowitz the fix would be to list the module in /etc/modules and it would work "all the time" [04:47] shoklowitz, if you are installing with the same dvd on same machine.. you really should be getting identical installs.. if somthing is not, i would wonder if the dvd dosent have a issue. or some odd hardware issue/bug [04:47] * intelikey votes for "bug" [04:47] I am. Which is odd. And the DVD is pretty fresh, I verified the md5 and the burn check. [04:49] * intelikey never got an identical install using ubuntu media. only after i made my own install disk... [04:49] It is my own install disk. [04:49] but when you install to /dev/hda rather than a partition you have to really tinker with upbiquity [04:50] you are sooo leet... [04:50] :P [04:50] i learned it from you... [04:50] :) [04:50] Im the Dr of Love.. not Leetness [04:50] omg lrn 2 spl itz teh l33tnezz [04:51] L9v3 [04:51] oops [04:51] L0v3 [04:51] :) [04:51] lol [04:51] haxX0r n00bz [04:51] hehhe [04:51] Hahah. [04:52] but really, why is "teh" such a common pissmelling ? [04:52] I know this dude. I installed blackbox on his window machine and set it up for him. So now he's got his transparent DOS console, and pretends he's a haxX0r whenever someone's around by typing in something like ping 192.168.0.1 [04:53] I think it's just one of those typographical errors that occurs a lot. [04:53] That or 4chan made it popular. [04:53] my irc clint auto fix;s that spelling mistake [04:53] the [04:54] I think 4chan is behind half the internet fads right now. [04:54] ^5 [04:54] i cant even type t e h without it getting fixed. [04:54] I think you give 4 chan too much credit. :) [04:54] Anonymous, LOLcats, Soviet Reversal. [04:54] 4chan the next 'all your base, and starwars kid' :) [04:54] Which reminds me of the Soviet double reversal :)) [04:54] * mr---t- scratches his head [04:55] Didn't 4chan spread the all your base video? [04:55] Can't remember. [04:55] At least Weezer won't have trouble looking for material for a new video [04:55] mendred [04:55] I rember ftp sites with collections of funny videos way befor i ever heard of 4chan, or youtube [04:55] what's youtube ? [04:56] now all those sites have been mirrored and converted to worse looking flash video... [04:56] I've never ftp-d much [04:56] Except to edit my webpages === pierre-luc is now known as Pigeon` [04:56] ftp was d'bom back in the day [04:57] I wish I had been born earlier, so I wouldn't have to be the GUI dependant idiot that I am now. [04:57] is ext3 unstable? [04:57] * shoklowitz t [04:57] i feel files are corrupted [04:57] lol [04:57] asobi, why would you think that? [04:57] i never have problems in ntfs [04:57] ext3, i do :/ [04:57] files can get corrupted. on both.. [04:57] is it a funny tingly feeling? [04:57] it's more of a file won't extract under ext3 feeling [04:58] asobi ext3 is ext2 + journal so short answer is no. but in reality i have had a few issues with ext3 that i never had with ext2 [04:58] says it's corrupt or crc doesn't match [04:58] corrupt diwnload [04:58] except, i would rewrite with the same file and it would work [04:59] maybe fragmentation? [04:59] * shoklowitz is away. [04:59] how big is this file ? [04:59] 100mb [04:59] probably not then [04:59] hence my conclusion of ext3 being a bad fs ~_~ [04:59] if you had mesured in g rather than m maybe. [05:00] asobi so mount it ext2 and see if it helps. [05:00] Help... I accidentally shift+deleted a bunch of folders from my desktop, the mouse jerked and selected more folders than I needed to delete - I cancelled as soon as the dialogue appeared but they're gone [05:00] you can tell the kernel to handle that at boot time. [05:00] wouldn't that wipe my hdd? [05:01] any way to recover? [05:01] no [05:01] asobi as i said ext3 == ext2 + journal [05:01] oh, so i can just edit fstab? [05:01] asobi you can. [05:02] don't suppose i can mount it as ntfs? [05:02] baudthief first umount the fs or at least remount it ro then check on recovering files on [05:02] asobi no. [05:03] asobi ntfs doesn't support the permissions needed for a *nix system [05:03] intelikey: Thanks! [05:03] mounting a ext3 as ntfs? Huh? [05:04] i use ntfs and ext3, so far ntfs works better @_@ [05:04] Dr_willis_ and "reboot fixes everthing" [05:04] i just installed kubuntu, so different of ubuntu :O [05:04] Except that ntfs dosent have the permission features that ext3 does.. and ntfs under linux was considered risky untill recently. :) and ntfs is not very well documented.. [05:05] Pigeon` not under the hood. down there it's all linux === root is now known as Guest49671 [05:05] heh yeah graphicly [05:05] i'll have to adjust [05:06] Pigeon` rule one in kde "right click everything" [05:06] :) [05:06] when in doubt right click [05:06] oh ok [05:06] oh and be sure to right click [05:06] i was wondering how to change my nickname in kopete :P [05:06] maybe right click ? [05:06] lol [05:07] lol [05:07] or /nick new-nick [05:07] heh [05:08] i don't think i have ever seen kopete and only konversation one time. [05:09] in kopete you have to change it in configure [05:09] is there a gaim of pidgin in kde lol [05:09] i used xchat back before it was 2.0 [05:09] !pidgin [05:09] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto) supports MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC.

[05:10] same as ubuntu? sudo apt-get install pidgin ? [05:10] yep [05:10] cool [05:10] you have ubuntu [05:10] well i had [05:10] just maybe not ubuntu-desktop [05:10] have [05:11] oh ok [05:11] h a v e have ubuntu [05:11] i understand lol [05:12] dpkg -l | grep "ii ubuntu" :) [05:12] i've changed to kubuntu because my gnome f*cked up [05:13] There's 4 engineers in a car. An electrical, a mechanical, a chemical and microsoft certified professional. [05:13] So the car breaks down and shuts off. [05:13] The electrical engg says there might be a problem with the electrical system and the cam or the spark plugs might be out, [05:13] the mechanical engg says there may be a broken engine or transmission part, the chemical engg suspects something emulsified somewhere. [05:14] The microsoft engg looks at everyone and says, why don't we roll the windows up, shut the car off, get out, get back in, and restart the car? [05:14] yep [05:14] Bad joke :| [05:15] I continue to surprise myself with my poor sense of humor. [05:15] "Dr_willis_ don't forget the old 'reboot will fix anything' ism." <<< way up there ^ [05:16] i think i'll love kubuntu! :) [05:16] shoklowitz i like this one. Q; what is the differance between a duck? A; one leg is both the same. [05:16] Hunh? [05:17] Between a duck and what? [05:17] but you have to use that after about forty bad jokes for it to hove full impact [05:17] shoklowitz just wait. you'll get it after while. [05:17] How does a blonde kill a fish? [05:17] cpr ?

[05:42] why would installing a package care if it was sudo or kdesu that called apt ??? [05:42] intelikey, they are refering to 'gui' apps mainly [05:43] Dr_willis_ then i missed something... again. [05:43] Im old skool and tend to still use 'sux' [05:43] damn lol 231 update [05:43] intelikey, :) of course kdesudo may print out a nicer ask for passwqord dialog also. :) [05:44] Dr_willis_ yeah but will it facilatate a gui ask for eula acceptance ? [05:44] if not. then sudo is as good as kdesudo on apt-get ... ff [05:45] if ff3 has an eula [05:45] [05:49] hello all [05:50] anyone knows were I can find a free antivirus for ubuntu [05:50] intelikey, thats a feature of the apt-get system.. i think it will. [05:51] intelikey, it some how sees display being set. and uses the gui dialog. instead of the curses one. [05:51] really. nice. i'll start sujesting kdesudo on anything that "might" have an eula [05:51] of course if this is about the JAVA EULA 'i cant hit ok' problem. the fix is to hit 'tab' to move to OK then enter. :) [05:52] yeah i remember that. even thought i have never seen it myself [05:52] but again kdesudo might help with that. [05:53] java is about the only thing i rember having that idiotic eula issue. [06:01] well looks like the excitement has died down in here... [06:01] think i'll vanish for a few.

Do I need to update them the same way? or they are searchable (from the net) [07:48] drivers are mostly built into the kernel... unless its specific and manufatures will have unless its something in the restricted drivers [07:49] update/upgrade - will get any new updates in the repositories.

[07:51] dr_Willis, I've installed the nvidia repository drivers, ran the nvidia config and it put "driver nvidia" but it won't do 3d rendering [07:51] dr_Willis, any suggestions [07:52] you could look at the x logs. I tend to stop the kdm service, and use 'startx' to see what exactly X is saying on startup. [07:52] double check the xorg.conf file also.

[07:55] its a littel different from the laptop [07:56] dr_Willis, because when I do grep command it says no rendering [07:56] brb [07:56] you mean 'dri' - thats not the same as no 3d rendering.

I'am using the kde4 beta-2 packages [08:31] Jurgentje, install/run the ntfs-config tool. and i think theres some check boxs that should enable that.

[11:02] ActionParsnip: and my knowledge of the cl is limited to tail, grep, chmod, etc : [11:02] Jahromeo: you dont need cli to edit conf files [11:03] Jahromeo: jsut use sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup [11:03] then kdesudo /etc/fstab [11:03] I installed samba, and selected share for a folder, but I can't seem to find my computer on a windows computer. I can find windows networks on my computer so I think it's working. What should I do? [11:03] you can now edit away knowing your original is safely copied to fstab.backup [11:03] ActionParsnip: how do you then restore it? [11:04] Jahromeo: if you just go running in without and screw it you have nothing to recover with [11:04] Jahromeo: sudo cp /etc/fstab.backup /etc/fstab [11:04] Jahromeo: that will copy the backup over the top of the malfunctioning file [11:05] Jahromeo: if you look at the command its fairly self explanatory dont you think? [11:05] you must set a domain name for microsoft networks [11:05] yeah [11:05] im making a note of it, ta ActionParsnip [11:05] Jahromeo: if you look at it its not decieving [11:05] can anyone tell me what is the difference between kubuntu generic and kubuntu server in grub ? [11:06] also ummm what is that new multi purpose im proggy that has like skype/msn/yahoo/etc all in 1, forgot its name , its kind of like pidgin but has skype in its beta [11:06] server kernels have some different tweaks - not sure what.. but theres some differances [11:06] so i must look into tech docs ? [11:10] hi [11:10] i want to add a new linux OS to the grub menu i just installed [11:10] i have kubuntu running how do i do it? [11:11] the new os is installed to /dev/hdd5 [11:11] thanks [11:13] u must edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add new os starting options [11:14] options depends on the new system that you've installed, check docs === trym74 is now known as Tyrian [11:17] daw: I set a random domain name. What do I do now? [11:19] salve [11:20] Moin [11:21] lotat [11:21] check that: http://kubuntu101.blogspot.com/2005/11/how-to-share-files-using-samba.html [11:22] i found that generic kernel uses CFQ I/O scheduling but server kernel uses Deadline scheduling... [11:22] daw, You say that as if i have the slightest CLUE what those words mean..... :) [11:22] differnt scheduling.. :) i understand.. ehh [11:23] as for the specifics. :) well... [11:23] so generic is better for desktop and laptop i think [11:24] I would imagine so. [11:24] :) [11:25] i asked becouse vbox machine changed my grub menu and prefers server kernel .... [11:25] i wonder how you installed the server kernel. [11:26] its default in Kubuntu dvd i think [11:27] I cant imagine why the Kubuntu DVD would default to the server kernel. [11:28] i cant too [11:28] strange [11:28] daw: I had already followed that guide, and I still can't access [11:28] but i have two kernels installed [11:29] maybe vbox has install it ... :| [11:31] vbox dosent install stuff at all as far as ive seen [11:31] theres the vbox client extras you can get.. but thats about it [11:32] hah i know now, i have installed virtualbox-ose modules for linux-image-2.6.22-14-server [11:33] and it depends on linux-image-2.6.22-14-server [11:33] :] [11:34] but why it changed my grub menu ;/ [11:34] thosr are for running vbox ON the server. [11:34] Ok, i am at a bit of a loss here. How do you sync your contacts between Kopete and Kontact? [11:46] ? [11:52] Ktorrent doesn't seem to have uPnP working properly. Do I need a uPnP daemon installed? If so, what's the package name? [11:53] Im not even sure wha tthe uPNP plugin does in ktorrent [11:53] I thought it found the upnp routers and set up port forwarding. [11:54] Yes. [11:54] It does seem to be working here. [11:54] at least its showing it saw my router and set up forwarding [11:56] Dr_Willis: would you be so kind as to check and see if you have libupnp2 installed? Perhaps it's missing a library. [11:57] it is NOT installed [11:57] i was thinking it it required specifc features of the router [11:58] My router is uPNP enabled. [11:58] upnp = security nightmare :( [11:59] whats really weird - i set up static port forwarding on the router to this OTHER machine. :) [11:59] and this one took them back. [11:59] actually wait.. its using different ports it seems [11:59] Llutz: how is it a nightmare? [12:00] any ap could in gtheory set itself up as a server I guess. [12:00] Tonehog: you allow an application to configure your router... from security-view a nightmare. upnp will show some nice effects in future, hackers like it :) [12:01] Llutz: I've never configured my router using uPNP, other than port forwarding. I can see it's "potential," though. [12:02] i uninstalled compiz but i still have to run "kwin --replace [12:02] kwin --replace & [12:02] killall compiz compiz.real [12:03] forget those three lines i messed up in writing it [12:03] ncfi1013_, removeing compiz goofes somthing else up.. ive seen this asked in here like 4 times this week. :) [12:03] theres some link, or default/alternative that dosent get set right i belive. [12:03] let me start over [12:04] and no - i dont know the exact fix. :) [12:04] Tonehog: portforwarding is what malware needs to reach your computer through your router. so make sure only those ports are forwarded, you really need. [12:06] Llutz: no different than NAT spoofing, no? [12:06] Tonehog: easier [12:07] Llutz: I kinda figureed. [12:08] Well, it appears that I'm getting tracker stats, although no DHT. I assume I'd need port forwarding for DHT to work properly. [12:11] Tonehog: I had to forward ports and configure the IP tables in linux to get DHT working correctly [12:13] Hmm showing 'DHT 204 addational nodes' here in ktorrent. [12:13] that means its working right? [12:13] Yes. [12:14] hey guys, im looking for some help with my sound. New install of kubuntu 8.04 [12:15] Patrick: using alsa sound drivers? [12:15] possibly. How do I check? [12:16] Open terminal. [12:16] Lsmod | grep snd. [12:16] Sound was working on the initial install, however when i updated some packages using adept and upon reboot I had no sound [12:16] i uninstalled compiz but i still have to run "kwin --replace & killall compiz compiz real" every time i log in or else my window borders are messed up and i have no system tray. i have deleted all compiz and emerald settings files that i could find and have set the session to load a clean session on startup but nothing seems to help [12:17] @ Tonehog: what am I looking for from the lsmod output? [12:18] Patrick: soundcore is alsa, I think. [12:20] hi [12:21] @ Tonehog: soundcore 8800 1 snd [12:22] Patrick: try 'lsmod | grep snd' [12:23] same output [12:24] on another note, how do I get amarok to eject my ipod properly? [12:26] Patrick: your alsa configuration is blank, it appears, or is trying to load the wrong modules. [12:26] Patrick: regarding amarok, I haven't tried working with my iPod yet. [12:26] Hmmmm how do i force it to load the correct module? [12:27] Patrick: gimmie a second, I'll look it up. [12:28] Thanks Tonehog [12:28] Patrick: 'asoundconf' [12:30] <_dennister> well channel, my best advice for would-be hardy-users: install gutsy first, then use dist-upgrade to hardy....which is totally against the conventional wisdom that a clean install is always the best & safest [12:31] Whats best for you - may not be best for me. I will stick with my Clean Installs. [12:32] <_dennister> besides my hardware & crashing issues with this pc (which was also present with gutsy from the get go) at least this way my xorg isn't giving me hassles and my cds/dvd drives are both usable [12:32] <_dennister> dr_Willis: so a clean install worked well for you? [12:33] Ive done clean installs on about 6 machines so far in the last month with no hassles. [12:33] 3 of them were laptops [12:33] well one laptop was a hassle.. but it was a Pent 1, with 64mb of ram.. :) put puppylinux on that one... [12:33] but that would of been #7 [12:34] Dr_Willis: would have put slackware on a little laptop like that. [12:34] <_dennister> when i did my server install right after the release, I couldn't (and still can't) get multimedia working because the installation mixed up the two optical drives [12:35] Tonehog, in some ways puppy is a cut down slackware. :) it can use the slack 12 packages. simetimes.. [12:36] <_dennister> dr_Willis: do you know of a testing app to really put a newly-built pc through its paces...testing for temp, hd functionality, etc? I'm looking for something similar to the windows testing apps [12:36] Dr_Willis: oh, OK. I had really good luck with Slackware and i386 setups. [12:36] _dennister, i saw some Benchmark tools in the repos.. and there was some 'burn in' tools i think. [12:37] <_dennister> "burn in" tools? what do they do? [12:37] _dennister, and there was some new benchmarking suite just released recently [12:37] they run the pc at high load for a long time [12:38] <_dennister> so why aren't they called benchmarking too? why a different name/description? [12:38] how do i configure it? [12:38] _dennister, its not 'recording' anything.. its just making the machine work. [12:38] run memtest from grub for a few hours as a good test also. [12:39] Patrick: I'm looking it up now. [12:39] <_dennister> ah, ok, and benchmarking records stats & stuff [12:39] Patrick: http://ubuntu.sun.ac.za/wiki/index.php/ALSA [12:39] <_dennister> dr_Willis: i ran memtest all night on this pc...ram sticks are not the issue apparently...got to be hdd or mobo now [12:40] replace the hdd I guess.. :) and hope its that.. replaceing the MB is a pain. [12:40] <_dennister> still getting mouse & keyboard unresponsiveness right at startup, sometimes before kubuntu even loads...kernel panics, too [12:41] sounds MBish to me.... [12:41] if you are sure the ram is good. [12:41] unplug the HD. use a live cd for a bit. see it still happens [12:41] <_dennister> also crashing during livecd use [12:41] Dr_Willis: couldn't it be the nvidia module? [12:42] That sounds very bad then. [12:42] Live cd is proberly not using the nvidia driver. [12:42] <_dennister> nor is it using the hdd [12:42] What about ACPI? [12:42] rip it apart. :) give it a good cleaning/dusting... check all cables. [12:42] Look for cut wires.. found an ide cable once that was cut just a little bit. by a sharp edge on the case. [12:43] <_dennister> i just rebuilt it...spotless...even optical drives were given good hour-long wet cleans [12:43] dead moths across pins is a bad thing also. :) [12:43] I would say its time to get a new MB then.. and start moving stuff over. [12:43] How old is this MB? [12:44] <_dennister> yeah...not much point in reinstalling all software on another hdd if mobo is problem [12:44] Is there any benefit to using the pulseaudio drivers as opposed to using ALSA? [12:44] <_dennister> i bought it in 2004...built my son's pc then [12:45] <_dennister> luckily, because it's my son's, I'm not on a deadline [12:45] Well a few years back there was a bit of a 'issue' with some not up to spec. made capaciaters. [12:45] they could die/act weird after some time. [12:46] <_dennister> yes, i heard about that...think it was the elite/ecs group that was making these bad capacitors [12:47] @ dr_willis: oh yeah my Dell Optiplex fell foul to that issuer [12:47] *issue [12:47] <_dennister> the board itself was only used for maybe 6-8 months, then swapped for a better one, but then swapped back in after my son fried the better one, the cpu, and video card with champagne inside the box [12:48] I think i got a pc with the issue also.. it crashes on first power up.. i gotta reset.. then it boots ok. [12:48] but every power up.. it fails to see the hd.. or crashes.. or somthing odd.. [12:48] hit reset.. it takes off. [12:48] <_dennister> the frying and first rebuild with linux happened last september...i got it back a few weeks ago and cpu had to be replaceed right off the bat [12:50] The most valueable part of that machine - is proberly the case/ps :) [12:52] <_dennister> not in this "case", heheheh ...case is a chemming entry level server case...snazzy and cool to look at, but soooooooo many vents and stuff it collects so much dust and other dirt in 3-6 months it's not even funny [12:52] Vents for coolness.. vs.. dust... [12:53] I got a P900 case that has a 200mm fan. and so many other fans/holes.. it may as well be totally open with a desk fan blowing onit. === patrick is now known as patrick_ [12:53] <_dennister> well, the vents may be designed for coolness, but unfortunately the 4 fans also suck in the dirt along with the cool air === patrick_ is now known as osotogari [12:54] anyone have any idea how to use asoundconf to configure alsa?? [12:54] <_dennister> i tried to talk my son into a better case, but he's still enamoured with this one [12:55] how do i uninstall something i installed with make install [12:55] I rember these Penguin Cases from a few years back.. :) never did get one. [12:55] Rioting_pacifist, go to the source dir and hope that 'make uninstall' works [12:55] or hopefully it installed to /opt/ or /usr/local and you can manually remove things [12:56] when will be the next lts of kubuntu [12:56] when will be the next lts of kubuntu? [12:56] Hmm.. thats like every 3 years? [12:56] try the internet [12:56] !lts [12:56] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [12:56] latest is 6.06 [12:57] Crud, I have to format my PC [12:57] so +3 years would make it 9.06 [12:57] Latest LTS was Ubuntu Hardy. 8.04 [12:57] so June 2009 [12:57] yes but not for Kubuntu... [12:57] because of KDE 4... [12:57] kubuntu makes its own rules. :) [12:57] it wasent really specific. :) [12:57] some nasty bug got on it and my HDD space was dissapearing every time i restarted [12:57] supposed to be the Kubuntu hardy is LTS just like the ubunut version...what I can't understand is why kubuntu hardy is not LTS... [12:57] jasonago, kde4 for one big reason [12:58] !khardy | jasonago [12:58] jasonago: Kubuntu Hardy Heron expects to ship with both KDE 3 and KDE 4 as 2 separate disks. KDE 3 should be offered by shipit. The KDE 3 CD will be commercially supported for 18 months and KDE 4 will be community supported [12:58] dr_Willis: in this case, no. it's completely Canonical's [12:58] Kubuntu had not choice in the matter at all [12:58] is it very crucial for us to move from kde3 to kde4? [12:59] not yet [12:59] But it will be [12:59] "crucial"? not for a long time [12:59] jasonago- Kubuntu 8.04 isn't LTS because KDE4 isn't ready for general use yet, and the KDE developers won't be supporting KDE3 for the 3 years that Kubuntu would need [12:59] is kde 4 default in kubuntu 8.04? [12:59] I think the kde3 people should first solve some caveats of kde3 before jumping to kde4...not unless the only solution is to debunk kde3 and adopt kde4 [13:00] thx dr_Willis, uninstall didnt work but all the files were listed and in /usr/local [13:00] osotogari- there are separate installers for KDE3 and KDE4 [13:00] jasonago: there are no "kde3 people" [13:00] <_dennister> cases...ahhhhhhhh...i've got a lovely indwin server tower here I'm loathe to use as a server because the removable chassis is sooooo useful in my testing bench [13:01] <_dennister> *inwin...and then someone gave me two totally rad server towers that don't seem to have a name/model...but 2-3 feet high, on casters, both sides swing out... [13:01] jasonago: KDE 3 will continue to exist as long as someone uses it. and even then it will still be available for download always (KDE has, as far back as KDE 1.1). updates and bugfixes may or may not come in the future. no promises there [13:01] Jucato: ah ok thanks for that... [13:02] Uhm, one more thing, will kubuntu run successfully to Asus eee??? Or its better with the ubunut netbook spinoff? [13:02] Clear. [13:02] Oops :) [13:03] anyone have any idea how to use asoundconf to configure alsa?? [13:03] Osotogari: http://ubuntu.sun.ac.za/wiki/index.php/ALSA [13:05] hi its me again :D [13:05] hi, I'm running kubuntu, the kde 4 remix, how do I configure my wireless connection? kwifimanager claims to find no networks, but there surely are a bunch of networks in reach (amongst which my, wep key secured, network to which I want to connect) [13:05] oh not again [13:05] :p [13:05] ronr_laptop don't use wep [13:05] how can i change the icon for my mp3 player on the desktop? [13:06] because it has always the ipod icon i painted my own one and now i want to change it [13:06] engineer: then use what? and why not? [13:06] is there a way? [13:06] wpa2, wep is easily crackable [13:06] no, there's not [13:06] neone know the solution to error 17 in grub? [13:07] engineer: ok, that's a good reason [13:07] jon_ http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml [13:07] hi [13:07] engineer: and once I change the AP settings, how do I connect with kubuntu? [13:07] !hi | bardack_ [13:07] bardack_: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! [13:08] hi.... italian channel of ubuntu? [13:08] !it [13:08] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [13:08] ronr_laptop the same way you did before [13:08] ok [13:08] grazie mille [13:08] engineer: my question was how to connect in the first place :D BTW, which wpa2, wpa2 or wpa2-psk? [13:09] wpa2-psk [13:09] does grub not recognise reizer fs? [13:09] of course not [13:09] must be ext3 [13:10] that's why you keep /boot in a separate partition [13:10] and the / in another one if you want to use reiser fs [13:10] then /boot should be ext3 that is [13:10] but musix(a distro) allows / on reiser [13:12] well i don't know then [13:12] <_dennister> ok, installing "stress" package from repository [13:12] any ways i will try ext3 [13:12] thanks [13:12] install reiserfs-progs [13:12] but i don't think it will help [13:12] how do i manually edit bash startup [13:13] <_dennister> unfortunattely searching for 'burn' or any combination of that gives me optical disk burning stuff...not burn-in tools [13:13] I'm using wpa2-psk now, but kwifimanager still won't find the network, is kwifimanager the right app the connect with? [13:13] ncfi1013_: I guess you want to edit ~/.bashrc [13:13] _dennister: cpuburn [13:14] <_dennister> yes, that one i did see...and the warning :) [13:16] <_dennister> this mobo probably isn't worth saving, but i don't have that many k6 boards here...if he was willing to plump for a pentiumd chip and new ram i have a lovely board for him [13:19] walmart.com proberly has a $200 machine thats 4x that old thing. :) [13:20] <_dennister> dr_Willis: i agree, but he's just bought a lovely $500 used laptop...he wants to use this as a multimedia server [13:20] $500 used? gesh. [13:21] <_dennister> i know...but it was one of his best friends who wanted to sell it...not that old, pretty powerful [13:21] Its amazing the power in laptops these days [13:21] Got a $800 one the other day with 4gb ram. 250gb hd.. [13:21] <_dennister> that friend saved his hide during one of the worst moves from hell i've ever seen...and put him up for two weeks until the new apartment was ready [13:22] Heh heh [13:22] i cant get this sound problem fixed [13:22] i might just reinstall and see if that fixes it] [13:22] <_dennister> and I've experienced some baaaaaaaaad moves in my time, lol [13:23] <_dennister> ok, downloaded 'stress' and now how to use it? lol...why can't newly-installed programs show up in the menu? [13:23] _dennister, because most likely its a cli command [13:23] !info stress [13:23] stress (source: stress): A tool to impose load on and stress test a computer system. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.18.9-1 (hardy), package size 19 kB, installed size 92 kB [13:24] <_dennister> yep...i actually tried that first...the results were just not apparent right away... === Gaaston is now known as Gaasthon [13:28] <_dennister> 'man stress' says 'info stress' gives you a full manual, but its in tex...so what i see is the shortest table of contents ever...lol...why can't they make manuals in good old pdf format? [13:29] I just upgraded to 8.04 and found out that smplayer has the "wrong" (non-KDE) fileopen dialog. Can I change it myself, or is smplayer not compiled with kde-support? [13:30] <_dennister> tex seems even more cryptic and hard to navigate than the man pages...i don't understand why you have to learn a whole new program just to learn how to use another one [13:31] * timri wonders if there's a KIO slave for info (like there is for man) [13:31] TeX is impressive. :) [13:31] the man page is in TeX weird? [13:31] KInfoCenter says: yep, there is a info slave. Cool [13:32] Texinfo is not the same as 'Tex' :) [13:33] timri: yes there is [13:33] <_dennister> what's so good about it? [13:33] Hmm the stress info page.. is one of the better Info pages ive seen. [13:33] !tex [13:33] tex is a language for describing a document, commonly used especially for scientific publishing. Information and instructions for installing TeX and other related packages can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LaTeX [13:33] Jucato: I know, I just saw it in KInfoCenter->protocols :) [13:33] TeX is NOt the same thing as the texinfo page format :) [13:33] Many books are done with TeX [13:34] and/or LaTeX [13:34] <_dennister> ok, well i typed 'info stress' into terminal, and got virtually nothing in terms of info...googling got me more [13:36] i changed to ext3 now error 15 [13:36] _dennister, huh? i got a rather verbose info page. [13:36] _dennister, perhaps you dont relize that some of those text items are 'links' to other pages [13:37] _dennister, info stress, then use the tab key to go to the links. [13:37] <_dennister> i guessed that they were links, but there's no info as to how to access the links...ok: tab [13:37] info info [13:37] :) [13:38] can anyone tell me a solution for grub error 15 im trying to run a just installed musix distro [13:38] thanks [13:38] Is there a video catalogue type application? I have a lot of videos in different folders and I want a nice way of looking at thumbnails of them all for me to find the video I want to watch. [13:38] Moin. [13:39] <_dennister> dr_Willis: tabbing is just hopping me around the same menu [13:39] _dennister, its going to the 4 different links here. [13:40] _dennister, in konqueror do a ---> info:stress [13:40] :) [13:40] TimS: Digikam does that [13:41] timri: For videos? [13:41] <_dennister> dr_Willis: thanks...info info in terminal just gave me another man page...lol...one manual to understand another manual to understand another manual, to make a tool work [13:41] an info page. :) not a man page. [13:41] info predated the web stuff I recall... [13:42] by a good # of years [13:42] TimS: Sure. Even Konqueror (or any app using the thumbnail kio) can show thumbnails of videos [13:42] <_dennister> ok, so never try tex info tools in terminal...in a web browser [13:42] they work fine in my xterm window :) [13:42] Yes, but the videos are all in different folders, I want to view the all without changing videos. [13:43] TimS: "want to view the all without changing videos" does not compute [13:43] Sorry, I want to view the tumbnails for all my videos without changing folders. [13:44] TimS: Anyway both Digikam and Konqueror (Ctrl+F) can show all files from a hierarchy in one window. [13:45] <_dennister> ok, cpu test came back fine, now "dispatching hogs" for hdd test :) [13:45] Using search, I see what you mean, i would never have thought to do that! Brilliant. [13:45] <_dennister> i love that line..."dispatching hogs" [13:46] TimS: It gets even better: In Konquerors icon view (which is what you want) you can filter on name VERY fast (little edit box in the toolbar) [13:46] Yeah, I like the filter box. [13:47] <_dennister> need to make a pot of coffee and have a cancer stick...bbs [13:47] what's the best way to have a dual head on an ati radeon 9600pro if you know on vga is a CRT which should run on 1280x1024@85Hz, on dvi is 20" tft 1680x1050@60Hz the problem is i've clone mode...and i want as in windows extended desktop [13:47] timri: The only slight problem is the huge search pane across the top of Konqueror. [13:48] All I need is to search my home dir for *.avi. [13:48] TimS: use the locate IOslave like: locate:/*.avi [13:49] TimS: It has the benefit of not using the big search pane [13:49] Anyway to limit it just to one folder? [13:49] Well, one folder includeing sub-directories [13:49] anyone run into problems with getting nvagp to load instead of the regular gart module on 8.04? [13:50] TimS: Hmmm... good point. Don't know though [13:50] howdy [13:51] konqueror locate:file ? [13:52] 'list [13:53] TimS find ~TimS -name "filename" -print [13:53] Needs to be inside a GUI :( [13:53] helo [13:54] Anyway, need some lunch. [13:57] lol...hdd stress crashed pc...will try to replace hdd first [13:58] BluesKaj: don't you ever want to move to ireland or someting from canada? [13:58] Hi dennister , hmm ...why do you ask ? [13:59] all of our isp's are doing the comcast fraud now...crtc will probably let them do it, too, and now with bill c-61... [13:59] handing over our tech rights to any corporation who wants to put a drm lock on... [14:00] we pay more for everything, the us dumps all the bad hardware on us... [14:01] there's absolutely no competition in canada...they're all colluding to rip us off [14:01] yeah, sympatico admits to bit shaping , so I called them about it and threatened to go cable. They said , oh we just do it in the cities. :P [14:01] i'm lucky not living in America, i see... [14:02] lol...and you can't even go to a competitor now because bell is throttling all its wholesalers' cutomers, too [14:02] I'm out in the boonies here, 5K souls with Hispeed dsl , which hasn't slowed down at all. [14:03] err 5k ppl in my town that is [14:03] negativ: yes, and canada is worse in some respects, especially with harper's conservatives handing over our laws to american corps...they only thing we have over americans is good public health care [14:04] hey [14:04] lol..._dennister has only now left...i shut down that crashing pc 5 minutes ago [14:04] ok reinstalled Kubuntu and sound is now working [14:05] we will see if it still works when i update my packages [14:05] dennister: you have big connection timeouts... [14:06] ok Im stumped, I blacklisted agpgart and amd64_agp I set Option "NvAGP" "1" in xorg.conf, dmesg doesnt show any errors and shows the nvidia module been loaded and lsmod after a clean boot shows agpgart 1 nvidia [14:06] yet cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status still shows disabled :| [14:06] anyone have any idea's what I('ve inevitably) missed? [14:06] any irish shamrocks in the channel? any chance a disabled pensioner frp, canada can move over to your country and live off your equivalent of the dole? ? heheheh [14:06] dennister, if BCE gets sold to the Ontario Teachers Pension Fund and their american partner then it's vulnerable to a took over, then split up and assets sold off like that Icahn predator is trying with Yahoo. === user__ is now known as Mario [14:07] you mean there's hope for bell being dismantled? it deserves it, u know [14:07] err takeover [14:07] bye-bye guys... [14:07] yup agreed , dennister [14:08] of course, their biggest asset is their monopoly over all phone lines in the country...and anyone buying that asset will have the same power as bell [14:09] and will use the same underhanded, fraudulent practices...just like rogers and every other isp does [14:11] anyway...i guess i'm tired of that topic...it's in the hands of these blasted conservatives and their hired henchmen...and the liberals will not bring them down because stephan dion is a total wimp and doesn't want an eletion, either [14:11] thing is , there will be a lot of yelling about monopolies by the crtc, if BCE is taken over.Right now Bell has the CRTC in it's grasp cuz their both to blame for this situation. [14:12] yep...there's a bit of hope because crtc's head is now speaking up for net neutrality...but i'm not going to hold my breath [14:12] <------------going back to rebuilding that pc [14:13] swap hdd first, then install gutsy, then dist-upgrade to hardy [14:13] if that doesn't solve the probs, then its swapping the mobo [14:14] both are a lot of work, but i don't think there's any way around it...not going to make an unstable system stable with software [14:15] ttyl pps [14:15] sharpe_uk: I dont know what you're trying to achieve, but iirc some of these things are case sensitive ("NVAgp") [14:15] How can I downgrade my Ubuntu?

[14:18] timri, Ive formatted it case wise exactly as it is in the docs [14:18] is there anyone who knows how to get dual head working on an ati card with the restriceted drivers? i've clone mode now and i want extended desktop, is it needed to change xorg.conf? [14:18] >timri, it looks like I need to modify grub to force it not to load the agpgart module by default [14:19] sharpe_uk: ah, ok. In any case, the very fact that you have the /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/ directory is a good sign [14:19] never had these problems on slackware (and grub is something I dont know much about (always preferred lilo)) [14:19] I think it's the time to backup my /home. [14:19] vecciora: Try to google for "apt pinning" [14:19] timri: Okay. [14:21] !pin [14:21] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others.

[14:27] apt pinning [14:28] BluesKaj: ah, ok. " archlix: Because I want to use 7.10 repository." lead me to suggest that [14:29] Anyone here using smplayer on Hardy ?

[19:18] uwe__: usually, just run ./configure [19:18] uwe__: read the readme in the source [19:18] uwe__: then make [19:18] uwe__: then make install [19:18] uwe__: you'll need build-essentials [19:18] it says all the time gtk+ 2.4 not found [19:18] by running configure [19:19] uwe__: thats because its a gnome app [19:19] uwe__: run synaptic and install gtk+ 2.4 -dev [19:19] ActionParsnip, how do I do that? I don't see any option to give permission to users [19:19] ActionParsnip where do I set that? [19:20] aborym: what system is the share on? [19:20] aborym: winslow or linux? [19:20] fedora [19:20] I'm using kubuntu, synaptic will still work? [19:21] uwe__: yes. [19:22] aborym: you using samba? [19:22] yeah, samba works fine [19:22] gtk+ 2.4 doesn't exist T_T [19:22] uwe__: use cli and use autocomplete [19:22] !samba | aborym [19:22] aborym: 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. [19:23] I know what samba is. I'm asking about NFS [19:23] !ubottu [19:23] 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 [19:23] aborym: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html [19:26] aborym: looking good? [19:27] I tried that. It doesn't say anything about user/password [19:27] sorry somebody needed my help! [19:27] aborym: i always use samba as a standard interface [19:27] aborym: id google round bro [19:27] so I have to install cli-common? [19:28] uwe__: what for? [19:28] uwe__: use cli and use autocomplete [19:28] Yeah but I have a linux based media player which supports both samba and NFS, but streaming over samba performs like crap so I wanna test NFS [19:28] It says in the manual that NFS will work much better [19:29] uwe__: yeah use sudo apt-get install lib and press tab to autocomplete, then narrow it down [19:30] aborym: maybe you could tweak your client to cache more video, if its over wireless at any point then it sucks anyway, wifi is shit sloqw [19:30] slow* [19:30] No, it is over wired ethernet. It's slightly sluggish when streaming 1080p videos over samba [19:31] aborym: try telling your apps to cahce more before playing [19:31] So I thought I'll transfer files over samba and NFS between my fedora and ubuntu laptops, and see if there's any difference in speed [19:31] T_T [19:31] how do I do a quick & dirty creation of a .deb? [19:31] I'm totally lost... where I have to type those lines in synaptic [19:32] uwe__: you dont, open konsole and type in there [19:32] szakulec using pbuild is the faster [19:32] I tried there too but nothing happened [19:33] uwe__: sudo apt-get install [19:34] some package? [19:34] uwe__: well replace that with what you need [19:34] uwe__: let me get it for you === pim is now known as pim_ [19:35] sudo apt-get install gnome-libs [19:35] there are over hundert packages which starts with gtk, I have no idea which is the right one [19:35] oh [19:35] uwe__: use tab to autocomplete so you know its right [19:35] hi [19:35] !hi | slow-motion [19:35] slow-motion: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! [19:36] if I press tab it says there are over 32000 different packages... [19:36] hello there. Can anyone tell me how to figure out what's the name of cdrom ? [19:36] WildChild7: try mount in konsole [19:37] uwe__: try gnome-libs [19:37] uwe__: id try finding a kde equivelant [19:37] ActionParsnip: /dev/sr0 on /media/ATONEMENT type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000) [19:37] ActionParsnip: so the devuce bane us /dev/sr0 ? [19:38] uwe_: you may find it easier just to search for the package using synaptic. ActionParsnip, quit confusing him with the command line. [19:38] uwe___: it might be libgtk2.0-common [19:39] Actually, it probably ends in -dev if he wants to compile. [19:39] ShadowKnight: yeah, im not too versed with gnome libs, they are silly [19:40] that's already install but I need a gtk with the version 2.4 [19:40] not lower [19:40] anyway thanks for helping me, I think there's no possibility to install it... [19:41] uwe_: search for gtk 2.4 in synaptic. If you have the hardy repositories activated, it should come up. [19:45] even with the search tool I'm just getting weird package names [19:45] anyway thanks again, I'll stop to try for now [19:45] Okay. Compiling is a bit hard. What were you trying to compile? [19:46] gens [19:46] gens? [19:46] !gens [19:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about gens [19:47] ah. I see. [19:47] it's an emulating program for the sega mega drive, I wanted to listen some backgroundmusic from a old game [19:48] I see. The website has only dos versions though? [19:48] What were you compiling? [19:48] a linux version of gens [19:48] there is no dos version, just for windows and linux [19:49] I mean hole-in-the-wall when I say dos. [19:50] it seems there is a package for it. Dgen , it's called. [19:50] I tried dgen currently [19:50] And? [19:51] same thing, failed by compiling [19:51] checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E [19:51] checking for c++... no [19:51] checking for g++... no [19:51] checking for gcc... gcc [19:51] checking whether the C++ compiler (gcc ) works... no [19:51] configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables. [19:51] uwe@uwe-desktop:~/Desktop/dgen-sdl-1.23$ [19:51] Well, this is a package, so you don't need to compile it. [19:52] oh [19:52] type this into Konsole : sudo apt-get install dgen [19:52] hoe did you know that I don't have to install it? [19:53] how* [19:53] Packages install themselves. No compliling is needed. [19:54] now, I just installed it myself. If you type dgen into Konsole after you install it, it'll give you commands that you can run roms with. [19:54] !info dgen [19:54] dgen (source: dgen): Sega Genesis/MegaDrive emulator. In component multiverse, is optional.

[19:57] can anyone suggest how to config mod_evasive + mod_security to prevent bruteforce .htacesss password hacking??? [19:58] uwe__: just know that it's a lot less hassle to look for packages in the repositories than to compile from source. Try it yourself next time! [20:02] Hi everybody. Does anyone have any tip to speed up internet connection? I have disabled ipv6 module and the connection is really very slow considering I'm on a 1Mbps Adsl. [20:02] Hmm...

[21:36] anyway, so I went all the way and registered this one. [21:36] Red_Wraith: try /nick ShadowKnight anyway, unless you already have [21:37] if you know the password, switch to the Ubuntu IRC tab, and type /msg NickServ identify password [21:37] No, apparently changing your name here pisses certain people off. [21:37] I don't know the password, someone ELSE registered it. [21:38] unless someone got your password, the only other way to get the account is to have it lapse after 2 months, and someone asks for it [21:38] I didn't have a password. ShadowKnight was unregistered. [21:39] perhaps someone saw it, decided they liked it, and decided to use it?? [21:39] I guess so. [21:39] Hmm. Nice victory for Spain... Who else saw the final? [21:40] Red_Wraith: #kubuntu-offtopic please [21:41] Mmm. Vigilant ops today. [21:41] So, is it worth it to get the KDE4 beta? [21:41] ooh, seems Blizzard has announced Diablo 3 [21:42] Red_Wraith: jussio1 is vigilant every day. [21:42] Please! [21:42] i tried installing kde4, but i got wierd results [21:42] Red_Wraith: and yes, it's worth grabbing the KDE4 beta [21:42] mostly graphics related [21:42] Is the only improvement the eye-candy? [21:43] Red_Wraith: improvement over which version of KDE? 3.x? Well, the interface is definitely a bit nicer .... some of the apps are more functional, some less so. Most of it seems to be stabilizing with the 4.1 beta2. [21:44] i think it should be left to improve for know, or the applications at least. quite a few of my favorite programs are trying to port. i think it's best left until they finish and stabilize. [21:44] Mmm... I guess I'll hold off a bit. I had enough trouble getting my graphics card to work in my current setup. [21:44] snova: Intrepid will be KDE4 only I think .... however, apps that don't have a KDE4 port will have the KDE3 version included. [21:45] When does intrepid come out? [21:45] In about 4 months. [21:45] oh good. [21:45] here's how to decide if you'd like KDE 4.1: if you like being ahead of the curve, and know that IT'S NOT A clone of KDE 3.5x, and are willing to accept more features for *slightly* less stability, then do it [21:45] All glory to the TestDisk :) [21:46] ubuntu: glad to hear that it worked for you ... it has saved my butt a few times in the past too :) [21:46] Damn. I just installed 8.04 from 6.04 with about 14 hours of pain, and now another distro comes out? ergh... [21:46] Red_Wraith: every 6 months. [21:46] LOL [21:46] I hope it's more stable than Hardy. [21:46] i'm still using 7.08 for now. [21:46] It was the week of hell till I got it to work right. [21:46] me to [21:47] Guess I can't comment, I've found Hardy pretty stable ... [21:47] dwidmann: its entirely likely someone would have a port, if they liked it [21:47] Oh well, I gained a lot of valuable linux experience. [21:47] #amaro [21:47] #amarok [21:47] what about amarok? [21:47] geek: well, it's a lot of work to port the apps ... some of the devs for some of the apps are waiting, others are in progress and just won't be ready in time. [21:48] amarok is still porting [21:48] dwidmann: true but someone would do it anyway [21:48] geek: a lot of them are just being re-written from scratch [21:48] Ehhh... I can't live without amarok... I'm sticking to 3. [21:48] dwidmann: i mean, someone would probably maintain a 3.5.x family for ibex as a community project [21:48] Red_Wraith: you can run amarok 1.4.x in KDE4 [21:49] geek: ah, I see what you're saying now [21:49] dwidmann: I still think it' [21:49] s not worth the trouble. [21:50] Red_Wraith: how can it be considered trouble when pretty much everything is automated ... you just install "kubuntu-kde4-desktop" and everything is taken care of, how is that trouble? [21:50] dwidmann: in my opinion 3.5.x and 4.x are totally different beasts [21:50] geek: kind of ... though 4.x will have a definitive upper hand before long [21:51] geek: and wich is beter ? [21:51] geek: maybe after 4.3 or so [21:51] i had some problems with it. for one, Kicker kept showing up on top of Plasma :-) [21:51] snova: killall kicker? [21:51] ubuntu: right now... 4.x needs a LOT of work [21:51] eventually, it will be a matter of what you want, and what you run [21:51] hehe [21:52] dwidmann: that's pretty much what i did [21:52] My main roadblock at the moment is the lack of dualhead support .... [21:52] isn't that an X thing? [21:53] snova: partially. [21:53] snova: but the DE needs to support it properly also. [21:53] * geek wishes that running KDE 3 and 4 together would keep KDE 4 apps seperate on 3 and vice versa [21:53] dwidmann: that's trouble when OpenGL dissappears for no apparent reason and apt-get says interesting stuff like "deleting 432 files". I barely control c-d in time when that happened... still lost some important stuff. [21:53] This was the hardy install. [21:53] geek: at least it gives you a (KDE3) or (KDE4) respectivelly in the menu [21:54] Red_Wraith: weird ...
