[00:12] this is so random [00:12] its like kubuntu is trying to fight everything that customises it [00:13] its being a fashion facist [00:14] syntaxblack: kde4 is stil weird [00:15] Can I get help plaease? [00:16] wont KBFX work with you either? [00:16] is it necessary to remove the old version of a program before compiling the new version of it? [00:16] syntaxblack: http://www.kbfx.org/article.php?story=20070712043221481 [00:16] extragear? [00:17] i guess thats in the add/remove programs [00:17] syntaxblack: install kde-extras [00:18] syntaxblack: http://packages.debian.org/stable/kde/kde-extras [00:19] vscarenico: what's the problem? [00:19] woah [00:20] big package [00:20] syntaxblack: you want it [00:20] installing now [00:20] .... [00:20] syntaxblack: i installed it but cant find how to get the menu thingy [00:20] that installed dang quick [00:21] yeah its a pickly pickle [00:21] hmmm.... [00:21] well [00:21] i tried shouting at it [00:21] that didnt work [00:22] im a bit new to linux, what's the type of file that is a ".bat" file in windows? [00:22] or am i searching in the wrong direction.. [00:22] ive been using linux.... for 1 hour [00:23] first and most important thing [00:23] make it pretty [00:23] :D [00:23] syntaxblack: i use it a bit longer, though i would like to use the more advanced funtions to setup a gameserver. [00:23] i want to as well [00:23] i used copmiz, but my ati card doesnt like it ^^ [00:23] but.... [00:24] *compiz. [00:24] my router came straight out of satans bottom [00:24] lol [00:24] lemme guess, speedtouch? [00:24] sitecom? [00:24] syntaxblack: id suggest installing yakuake and run stuff there, much faster [00:24] it wont portforward no matter how much you try and bribe it with cake [00:24] try pie. [00:24] ^^ [00:24] hmmm [00:25] you could be onto something there [00:25] syntaxblack: cli is the way and the power [00:25] anyway, is there some kind of file in linux that is like ".bat" in windows? [00:25] um.... [00:25] sh? [00:25] hm. [00:25] oh wait no.... hmmm [00:26] a bit difficult: i want to install a SRCDS gmod server on linux, it needs wine. [00:26] and thus i thought if i did the same thing on linux, it would work. [00:26] i bet im going to break my install on linux about 5 times [00:26] you have a ati card in your pc? [00:26] better make a live cd of my settings once every 30 mins [00:26] you have a ati card in your pc? [00:27] syntaxblack: id try and get an efficient sytem with what you need then worry about gloss later [00:27] nvidia [00:27] k [00:27] .... [00:27] i got fat ass pc [00:27] syntaxblack: thats OK then, ati doesnt like linux ^.^ [00:27] it has cup holders [00:27] at least, for me it didnt [00:27] woot lol [00:27] and a warp drive [00:28] start trerk o.o [00:28] syntaxblack: its only as fast as its configuration [00:28] doh. [00:28] syntaxblack: i bet i could run a pc faster with proper config [00:28] its 1.28AM here, excuse me for my grammar XD [00:28] well its running fairly fast [00:28] kubuntu loads up faster than ubuntu did for some reason [00:29] oh well [00:29] actionparsnip, i bet you know how to make a bat file work in wine :-3 [00:29] syntaxblack: it can be faster, but as a linux newb you accept defaults. if you dig further you can get extra horse power and save space but you seem tie to gloss [00:29] all in good time [00:29] ced_: it would only run on the scope of wine, it depends what its intention is [00:29] the thing is [00:30] i want to install a SRCDS server. its windows based, so it needs wine [00:30] im a vj and dj soo.... it better have some vj software [00:30] !audacity | syntaxblack [00:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about audacity [00:30] the thing is, it needs dos-based code lines to operate [00:30] i think lives does vjing [00:30] no... [00:30] vjing [00:30] syntaxblack: id get audigy for music creatrion [00:30] not djing [00:31] and audacity [00:31] video mixing :D [00:31] :D [00:31] oh, so not really creating [00:31] you dont know how, actionparsnip? [00:31] i do video projection mayo 3d nonsense [00:31] ive not looked into that myslef [00:31] its fun [00:31] but your better off with pioneer DVJ's [00:32] if you crap gold bars though [00:32] sorry if im pushy, its a bit too late for me to be still up lol. [00:32] which i dont unfortunatly [00:32] how can i have like a little popup and the bottom of my screen when someone write me in pidgin? [00:32] you can do video mixing with a midrange pc [00:32] indeed [00:32] if your clevah [00:33] pigeon``: http://gaim-libnotify.sourceforge.net/ [00:33] and right now im just poking around lives [00:33] looks like it will do the job [00:33] syntaxblack: you just need a payer and a library of videos, then queue them in a playlist [00:33] doh, im being ignored. [00:33] ced_: sup? [00:33] oh i need a plugin ok ok thx [00:33] well you really need a way to trigger them with a mpc [00:33] pigeon``: pretty much [00:34] syntaxblack: trigger them? [00:34] yeah [00:34] i need to know how to feed a .exe with dos-based code lines in linux, through wine . [00:34] with midi controller [00:34] syntaxblack: like a remote control? [00:34] well... [00:34] akai drum pad [00:34] or midi piano [00:34] ced_: so you want to run an exe with extra switches? [00:34] yeah! [00:34] syntaxblack: yeah you can do that with a mid range pc [00:35] ced_: ok no problem [00:35] well im a cgi student so... [00:35] i need beef [00:35] man beef [00:35] syntaxblack: you can do everything on a basic PC with linux, as long as it doesnt require intesive calculations. [00:35] maya = intensive calculations [00:36] for that you need a better pc, i guess. it would still run, but just slower. [00:36] well i custom built mine [00:36] anyway, actionparsnip, do you know how? [00:36] so its all good [00:36] k [00:36] syntaxblack: yes forcgi you need power, for the video thing you simply need storage and enough power to decode the video [00:36] ced_: just searching [00:36] doh. [00:37] and a good piece of software to trigger it [00:37] thats what im doing right now ^^ [00:37] but.... the best vj tool for linux is on dynebolic [00:37] which is shite [00:37] or opensuse [00:37] which got a bad review on the latest version [00:37] yug suse, so uberdeutsch lol. [00:38] i dont get the point in suse [00:38] its big, and has a cameleon lol. [00:38] its a company that is the ass slave of microsoft apparently [00:38] well... [00:38] you can rip the suse theme and whack it into kubuntu [00:38] there you go [00:38] suse [00:38] its owned by novell ^^ [00:38] without the suck [00:38] actually [00:39] i might do that [00:39] i founda nice suse black theme [00:39] no! [00:39] use COMPIZ! [00:39] MUCH better. [00:39] compiz is worthless [00:39] NO! [00:39] gets old VERY quiickly [00:39] plus i like the word suse appearing on my screen when i boot up my pc in black and orange [00:39] unless you have a shitty videocard [00:39] ced_: I can run it fine, I just choose not to [00:39] thats your call ^^ [00:40] suse.... sounds like a fruity choclate bare [00:40] i love it. [00:40] but not for servers. [00:40] mmm.... [00:40] choclate [00:40] sytaxblack: how do i get that black suse theme [00:40] llol. [00:40] hang on [00:40] ced_: why not servers? [00:40] ill try and find it [00:40] i've also tried suse, but found it bulky [00:41] actionparsnip: because, would you do that to a server? would you want a reliabilty machine with blingbling? lol [00:41] a server needs performance, and stability. [00:41] http://www.kde-look.org go there and go nuts [00:41] and a good management. [00:41] search for suse [00:41] you get all kinds of dark orangy yummy things [00:42] Evening folks. can someone recommend a good IRC client for Kubuntu? [00:42] . [00:42] konversation! [00:42] lol [00:42] :D [00:42] ced_: i just wouldnt bother. Ive got it on my torrent server / amarock player, accessed via XUL [00:42] im using that, never had problems with it. [00:42] ced_: Its better than kopete? [00:42] Haza1: xchat, pidgin [00:42] !irc | Haza1 [00:42] Haza1: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [00:42] its standard installed in kUbuntu. [00:42] i cant be bothered to install firefox because kompete seems fine [00:42] I can't even talk to the server with this client! :) [00:43] lol. [00:43] oh wait [00:43] not kompete [00:43] im talking arse [00:43] syntaxblack: konqueror [00:43] thats the one [00:43] as you can see [00:43] i am a very advanced user [00:43] ... [00:43] on windows [00:43] :D [00:43] right. [00:43] me too ^^ [00:44] but.... [00:44] thats why im learning linux [00:44] me 3.0 [00:44] i set fire to my windows xp [00:44] i outright refuse to install it ever again [00:44] ive learned enough for my needs and love helping others [00:44] even though half my school is pro-microsft. [00:44] opera seems better, [00:44] nitin: flash is weird with linux and linux from what ive seen [00:45] i use it on my work lappy [00:45] a guy brought a dell xps laptop in running linux with a fancy neon blue/black theme with kubuntu [00:45] into my uni [00:45] firefox seems hapily cooperating with flash under linux ^^ [00:45] no one in the class heard of linux [00:45] Yeah.. Konversation looks a little better [00:45] syntaxblack: you can make it look however you want [00:45] no one at all [00:45] doh, im getting slow. [00:45] he showed us it on a projector [00:45] syntaxblack: my uni dual booted Win2000 and redhat 7 [00:45] brb. [00:46] my entire uni is on mac osx [00:46] which i hate [00:46] cause it hurts my eyes [00:46] ow [00:46] Haza1: I run pidgin due to me chatting on sametime, msn, googletalk and irc [00:46] to much white [00:46] syntaxblack: Some kind of design uni or something? [00:46] white everywhere [00:46] art uni [00:46] syntaxblack: change it [00:46] Acion: since i'm on a slow dialup, i don't bother about flash or watching videos, so opera seems fast on my pc [00:46] ActionParsnip: Thats the same reson i liked Kopete [00:46] syntaxblack: you can change you r own environment surely [00:46] syntaxblack: I guessed as much [00:46] yeah well [00:46] thats why im a a/v performance artist [00:47] syntaxblack: you cant hate an OS due to the frontend, thats just childish [00:47] the os is fine [00:47] the front end burns my eyeballs [00:47] ActionParsnip: excatly!! you have to hate it for the lack of left click / right click ;) [00:47] though [00:47] bk. [00:47] you can right click [00:47] Haza1: theres mac key + click [00:47] i found out by accident [00:48] Not on the nachines i used a couple of years back [00:48] or whatever [00:48] silly little round mice with one button [00:48] no the mouse does right click [00:48] when it feels like it [00:48] you got a trick it [00:48] Then again i think it was MacOs 7 i was using at the time [00:48] any1 knows how to get extra switches working in windows software (.exe) through wine? [00:48] Haza1: its basically an OS for retards as far as I can see [00:48] well.... [00:48] ActionParsnip: lol!! [00:48] its got good stable software [00:48] ActionParsnip: And designers ;) [00:48] Haza1: with overpriced hardware.....But it looks nice [00:49] i have a macbook pro with a black frontend theme [00:49] syntaxblack: if you like it, install freeBDS or OpenBSD, same deal [00:49] i found a way to hack the theme [00:49] actionparsnip: no wonder one of the macbooks is the best windows laptop somehow >.< [00:49] ActionParsnip: Tats what its all about eh?

[00:51] i wonder if gpx are still going [00:51] now that thing looked fun [00:51] not even when i accedentaly dropped it in front of a bus. [00:52] coach.

However, Kaffeine will not play dvds - says it's encrypted. Evidently, it doesn't recognize libdvdcss. Solution?

[02:19] #ubuntu+1 for intrepid questions [02:28] Hi [02:29] !hello [02:29] Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! [02:29] hi all [02:29] I clicked the wrong thing during the last Adept Updater run, basically I told it not to replace grub's menu.lst, and I want to undo that. Menu.lst is not being updated to include the latest kernel image. I tried manually editing menu.lst but it's not a simple case of creating a new entry where I replace 2.6.24.17 with 2.6.24.19 [02:30] guys, I need to run startx as a certain user from an init.d script [02:30] su -c startx username works from the commandline as root [02:30] but not from the init.d script during bootup [02:31] "user not authorized to run X" [02:31] any ideas? [02:31] .Xauthority and .ICEauthority are all there by the time I try to run the script [02:34] amarok channel is #amarok?

[03:11] <_2> what's the best way to find a bottle neck on a net ? [03:11] or intelikey, those 2 guys were aces. [03:11] <_2> lol [03:12] <_2> Jucato be heave [03:12] man, I remember when i first started using kubuntu, those guys could answer any question I had. [03:12] *ahem* [03:12] Walzmyn: that happens in D3lphin when it's opened as root (using kdesu/kdesudo) === fouad is now known as ffarah === _2 is now known as noob === noob is now known as intelikey === root is now known as root_ [03:31] !ircasroot [03:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about ircasroot === ubuntu is now known as _j_j_ === root is now known as Guest11008 [03:37] !isntasbadaspeoplemakeitouttobe [03:37] hydrogen: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:38] !rootirc [03:38] It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [03:38] :) [03:40] hydrogen the risk is not large. but there is risk involved, and as i have been informed it adds trouble/frustration to the ircops also. (if you get hacked that is) [03:40] their is risk involved as soon as you plug your computer into the world wide interblog [03:41] but far less if you don't do stupid stuff like irc'ing as root... :) [03:41] no [03:41] the same amount [03:41] no [03:41] wlel [03:41] maybe a tiny bit more [03:42] I'm pretty sure none of the major irc clients in use have had a security vulerability that allows remote command execution in... ages [03:42] wouldn't bet on it. [03:43] but remote command execution is not the only thing involved. === ses59 is now known as ses59_ === killerfox_ is now known as Killerfox512 === intelikey is now known as this_name_is_too === this_name_is_too is now known as intelikey [03:49] hydrogen, What your not understanding is just because your running IRC doesn't mean they don't have your IP Address if you aren't using a vhost or shell [03:49] and uhh [03:49] if I have your IP address you bet your butt I can get into your box if I'm remotely skilled, so don't be stupid and leave root logged in [03:49] what in the world does that matter? [03:49] the root account in ubuntu is locked [03:49] -> they can try all they want to brute force the password [03:50] if your logged in and I remote into your PC I got root, if your sudo'ed into root you ahve root terminal up [03:50] don't need to brute force nothing [03:50] its better for them to know the root account name (it's standard) then to know your account name (it can be brute forced) [03:50] hydrogen, if you can't understand the risks of running IRC as root then you need to learn [03:51] hydrogen, and don't be so defensive when people give you a nice suggestion and tell you to be carefull [03:52] err [03:52] you are pretty not that smart [03:52] in one point i tend to agree with hydrogen there. irc'ing as a ubuntu root.jr is an equally bad idea. [03:53] you can't get into my box by just having my ip address [03:53] without guessing a password [03:53] hydrogen, your the guy that builds a kernel as root even though it says in the instructions not to huh? [03:53] and without me having a ssh daemon running [03:53] hydrogen, you do what your told not to because you think your good [03:53] or some other login daemon [03:54] no, the point is that running irc as a user is _at least as unsafe_ as running it as root ( possibly more unsafe on *buntu ) if the irc client is not vulnerable [03:54] the big if there says it all though [03:55] program as root = do anything, program as user = restrictions [03:55] how is root = user? [03:55] and if it is, then you can have your irc client hujacked while your back is turned. [03:55] I already said "if the irc client is not vulernable" [03:55] intelikey: and with everyones favorite root junior, then you just quietly wait around for a shell, and try to sudo once in a while and hope you catch it in the fifteen minute period it doesn't ask for ones password [03:55] go to a website that has a java script, your web browser is user, it won't hijack the pc, browse as root and well your hijacked [03:56] Invisible_Slack ubuntu's root jr. account is just one john away from full root access [03:56] but i'll hush, this is an old argument. [03:56] Invisible_Slack: right, you are missing the point [03:56] intelikey, yes I know it is.. haven't been around for a while but I'm not noob [03:57] The point is, if the program is not vulernerable, ircing as root is just as safe as ircing as a user, if not more safe [03:57] hydrogen, not going to argue with you, just got off a 12 hour shift and i'm tired.. I was pointing out root = bad 99.9% of the time. thats why this network will kick you if your connected as root [03:57] dangers imo are thus root => root jr. >> all other accounts [03:58] no program is 100% safe.. they all have vul's [03:58] some just haven't been found, HENCE shouldn't be as root ;) [03:58] my 2 cents are done [03:58] so, what you are saying, is that my statement is correct [03:58] No your statement isn't correct [03:58] hax [03:58] :p [03:58] "this network will kick you..."? no.

[05:04] ah, duh [05:04] righto [05:06] with a default ubuntu system, if one adjusted only fstab and menu.lst to affect "nosuid,nogid" they would still get the graphical login which would work, they would have a normal user gui with no way to admin (do as root) anything [05:08] so there is no way i could reccomend that to anyone in here. but it also affectively busts many exploits/cracks/attacks simply because what an attacker expects to happen wont happen. (i didn't say it closed all doors, nor imply that it didn't unlock others) [05:10] but in general, anything that deviates from normal, is a deturant of sorts.

[05:31] freedom == antislavory or should i say anti-enslavement [05:32] freedom is not free, it's purchesed with the lives of those that are willing to die for it, that others might enjoy what they themselves could not attain. [05:32] now let me see if [05:32] there's a logical error which i don't like in argumentation that is something like this [05:32] sky= blue but blue doesn't neceassarily equals sky [05:32] ubuntu=open source [05:32] open source= ubuntu [05:33] ubuntu=freedom [05:33] no [05:33] ubuntu != opensourse [05:33] so opensource != ubuntu != freedom [05:34] ubuntu is "as free as we can make it" to quote the owners [05:35] the insertion of propritary "restricted" packages makes it an non-opensource or, partially open source distro. and thus partially free [05:35] btw sky != blue either. [05:36] the sky is blue in the sense that the colour of the sky is primarily blue but the sky == air [05:37] * mr---t- wonders if inteliley will get drawn into this guys argument, same one as a few nights ago [05:38] mr---t- not likely. i'm leaving very soon. [05:38] 5 min [05:38] just letting you know [05:38] k ty. [05:38] under other circumstances i might. [05:38] * intelikey is not above that. [05:39] but i was really enjoying the chanops night off :) [05:39] haven't been this far off topic in a while... :))) [05:40] they are off? [05:40] * intelikey thinks "** no wonder i one time held the #1 speaker of #kubuntu title**" [05:41] mr---t- heh. no. but they don't pay much attention to this channel on the weekends [05:41] we could call them [05:42] lol [05:42] :) [05:42] no thanks [05:42] !opsnack | everyone. [05:42] everyone.: Chocolate! And Raisins! [05:43] even the snacks have changed! [05:43] * sub[t]rnl cries [05:43] !helpersnack | sub[t]rnl have some ! [05:43] sub[t]rnl have some !: Wow!

TIA [06:23] try installing libarts1-xine Angela_Smith [06:24] thank you dwidmann :) [06:24] Let me know if it works, I know it works for regular video files, but not sure about flash [06:25] it really surprised me in ubuntu. it is a wonderful feature :) [06:26] Hmmm, sounds interesting indeed .... that package I just mentioned should be able to make a thumbnail out of anything xine can play [06:27] awesome dwidmann, thank you very much :) [06:27] you're welcome :) === luis_ is now known as tigremx === Killerfox512 is now known as Killerfox|Away [07:05] hi all [07:06] !hi [07:06] Hi!

[08:21] hi ... I am pretty new to linux, is there a way i can set up different package versions for different users? like having qt 4.2 installed for all users except one which should have qt 4.4? [08:21] I'm sending mail from a machine and I've figured out how to rewrite the email, but how do I rewrite the "name"? As it is now the emails are sent from "Wrong name right.email@right.domain" [08:23] vorad: Possible but not easy afaik. [08:23] vorad: If that's a developer or similar perhaps s/he should install a clean qt-copy in his devel-account to build from. [08:23] jussi01: That seems to be the way to do it.. thanks! [08:24] :) [08:24] vorad: or use some sort of virtualization. [08:25] thanks osh_ - the thing is that I am using kde < 4.0 and want to compile kde >= 4.0 for a development account on the same machine and it needs qt 4.4 but I don't want to break anything on the actual account [08:25] vorad: see the instructions in techbase.kde.org [08:26] it tells you how to do all of that [08:27] vorad: I use vmware for that. With regular snapshots I can always go back to a working copy. But Jucato is probably more on track. S/He usually knows better than me. =) [08:27] osh_: He :) [08:27] (the name betrays that fact) [08:27] yeah, I have been there ... need just to set up qt 4.4 for a devel account. Thanks Jucato [08:27] Jucato: Right. HE, usually knows better. [08:28] Jucato: Not for me. Jucato could be either for me. What language is it? [08:28] osh_: not the nick. the name. as in /whois Jucato :) [08:29] Ah. Juan Carlos. Right. That would have been a clue. [08:29] * osh_ knows squat about irc. [08:30] :D [08:33] well that sucked. upgrade broke all kinds of stuff. [08:33] * osh_ is still on Gutsy. Upgrade to hardy breaks far too much. [09:10] hi. how can I restart the sound server (not arts)? amarok sais device is busy.. [09:10] or how can I see what application uses the sound device? [09:31] any ideas^^? [09:33] clau30: fuser /dev/audio used to work I think. Or whatever your audio device is called. That should show which pid's are using the audio device. [09:33] hi, my kubuntu kde 4 remix laptop always starts with minimal screen brightness and also returns with minimal screen brightness if the screen goes blank (after being unused for a while), how do I change the default brightness?

[09:37] yes I've [09:37] tha's the problem your ati silly graphic card [09:37] disable compiz [09:38] but if I watch a youtube video using firefox I can see it nicely [09:38] well flahs videos are flash videos [09:38] let's go to try disabling compiz [09:38] maybe mplayer or vlc can bypass the problem.. [09:39] you have to check the problem [09:39] hi [09:39] disable compiz \ or try another player [09:39] su [09:39] suze: I'll try first another player [09:39] the most of time the problem is your ati [09:39] MementoMori: well it's just to run a command line ... kwin --replace [09:40] then if you want compiz again [09:40] and old atis are the most worse [09:40] MementoMori: compiz --replace === sinan_ is now known as nyuu [09:47] suze: the problem is with compiz [09:48] also mplayer cant show videos while compiz is running [09:48] .. i have said that... [09:49] any workaround? [09:49] , or you find out a driver [09:49] or you have to disable and enable compiz when [09:49] you play a video [09:49] I used envyng to install the ati driver [09:50] omg [09:50] !ati [09:50] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:51] MementoMori: the safiest way you could use is enable\disabling compiz [09:52] MementoMori: kwin --replace to disable , compiz --replace to enable [09:52] suze: the newest info are for 7.04 but I'm with 8.04. is envyng use discouraged? [09:53] below there are hardy instructions also [09:54] MementoMori: i have a nice intel card and i should reccomend an nvidia card the next time .... a lots of guys has really problem with those silly card [09:54] suze: i have seen a lots with problema and envyns stuff [09:55] s/problema/problems [09:56] MementoMori: the next generations maybe of ati card will be better but if you could use nvidia, cheaper and better supported intel === dan_ is now known as dan__ [10:04] suze: I've a notebook so I cant change/choose the video card ;) [10:05] MementoMori: i figured out .. [10:05] MementoMori: i have too a silly hp notebook with ati xpress 200 [10:06] MementoMori: but in that i use windows , only for some stuff ... on this toshiba only linux :) and internet of course [10:06] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M24 [Radeon Mobility X600] [10:07] well nice crap xD [10:08] what's the opensource ati state? is it stable and does it perform a good 3d? [10:08] I mean the driver [10:09] i don't know i have just said i don't use linux on my hp notebook [10:09] i use linux on toshiba laptop [10:15] suze: I found a way to watch video with compiz enabled [10:15] MementoMori: good [10:15] now kaffeine (and other xine based player) works [10:16] do you want to add this workaround to the wiki? [10:16] how did u manage? [10:18] remfarkas: using xshm as video rendering driver [10:18] remfarkas: in kaffeine you'll find this option in xine parameters -> video [10:19] thx, if i remember correct, mplayer has no such option [10:19] remfarkas: in kaffeine you'll find this option in settings -> xine engine -> video [10:19] remfarkas: gimme a min [10:19] i cannot use kaffeine atm, my pc is offline, i had to figure out how to get the packages with dependencies trough a win machine.. [10:20] I havent installed anything particular for xshm [10:21] but it will work, i will only need sources.list and the packages list for it which is downloaded after apt-get update :) [10:23] remfarkas: also mplayer works using x11 driver (it should be the same of xshm) [10:24] can anyone write these infos in the wiki? [10:24] thx, i'll try, altough my ati is not compatible with any linux drivers [10:24] remfarkas: is a very new card? [10:25] very old, radeon 8500 [10:25] ati + compiz -> video with xshm/x11 [10:25] but if things are goin well, i'll get an old nvidia :D [10:27] remfarkas: http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon-prer200.html your card is supported by this driver [10:29] thx, i'll try, but if i remember well, i'll need some packages to do it, coz it will try to compile the driver for my ubuntu [10:30] is there a wiki how to compile mplayer in kubuntu? [10:30] why dont u install from repo? [10:31] help [10:31] remfarkas: you'll surely need build essential and maybe the xorg headers [10:32] remfarkas: i want to try my hands at compiling [10:32] yes, it'll need few times of using synaptic script and to get the packages home.. if it can be made this way [10:32] oh.. i think, if u download the source, there is a readme inside [10:32] nitin: you should start with something simpler [10:34] can someone tell me what's goign on, i tried installing kubuntu a couple days ago, divdied the partition for the 80gb harddrive into half windows ntsf and created a new ext3 prtition but never installed kubuntu so then i downloaded gparted to try and edit the partitions into 15 gb for linux and 65 for windows, so gparted won't work for some reason, so i try to install xubuntu instead (my copy of kubuntu is very old) and it only reads the ntsf pa [10:35] i suggest u to make the partitions with a partitioner under windows [10:35] if u are better with that [10:35] any free partitioners? [10:35] i'm on xp [10:36] i am currently downloading the sources and codecs. i've a slow dialup connection. [10:36] i used pqmagic, but not fully legal :P [10:36] and dont forget to make a swap partition for ur ubuntu also, which should be twice as ur physical memory [10:37] and another thing: xfce is nice, but kubuntu is more easy to use for ppl who switch from windows [10:37] http://partitionlogic.org.uk [10:37] how about that? in your opinion [10:37] it has much more gui for options [10:38] sounds good [10:38] good luck with it, i need to go home -.- [10:38] bye all [10:38] and have a nice day [10:38] yes but the only kubuntu iso i have is an old 5.10 version i ordered 15 cds from canonical so it might take up to 16weeks for me to get them and my isos alwys show corrupted wen i download them [10:39] CostaRicanQuaker: use the torrents [10:39] download a new one [10:39] jussi01: how do you mean? [10:40] !torrent [10:40] Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [10:40] i think i havea torrent program [10:40] but what do you mean by that [10:40] CostaRicanQuaker: there are kubuntu torrents - look at the official download page [10:40] download an iso image of kubuntu [10:41] to avoid the errors when i check the disk for errors beforeinstalling it? [10:42] CostaRicanQuaker: each "part" of a torrent is checked individually. it s therefore much more likely you have a non corrupted image at the end.. [10:42] remfarkas: do i need to download some other packages in kubuntu to be able to compile mplayer? [10:43] !compile [10:43] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [10:52] hi there [10:52] my gf has her screen turning black randomly (intel GC), anybody ever heard that? [10:55] asraniel__, it gets reported a lot === ubuntu_ is now known as waspius [10:58] flaccid: and is there a sollution? because right now she is convinced that linux is a buggy oparating system (she has at least 1 other bug that makes that she has to hard reset the computer, which makes 2 bugs doing that, equals 2-3 hard resets per day) [10:59] asraniel__, can't say. you have to search bugs on launchpad and for most of these black out problems there is no solution yet. they thought it was restricted drivers but then it started happening with any video driver like intel.. [11:00] linux is a kernel. ubuntu is the buggy operating system/distro [11:01] flaccid: tell that my gf ;-) i'm a computer scientist, but she does not realy make the difference [11:01] and a lot of these reports are on other linux distros as well. is it a hard crash ie. ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing? [11:01] asraniel__, your girlfriend is probably not suited for linux. mac os x or windows is probably more appropriate [11:03] flaccid: well, under windows i have to format all the time because of viruses, so i prefer linux. she realy has no problem with using it, the only problem are the hard lockups (her tv card driver has a bug too that makes a kernel panic) and os x is not a option because she does not have mac. but thanks for you help anyway, at least i know i'm not alone [11:05] asraniel__, yes. i have to reboot up to 5 times per day... [11:06] flaccid: wow, that sound buggy [11:06] flaccid: i reboot once a week with my thinkpad, and not because i'm forced to do so [11:06] yep. many people are waiting for solutions [11:07] it will be even worse if they do not find the problems and fix them. if thats the case this will go on for years [11:07] Have eiher of you reported a bug? [11:08] many [11:08] flaccid: let us be civil [11:08] nalioth, pardon? [11:08] i was stopping you from being civil? excuse me? [11:08] flaccid: one of your prior comments was very uncalled for [11:08] nalioth, well im free to comment within the rules i though [11:09] * flaccid yawns [11:09] flaccid: calling people "dumb" is not one of them [11:09] nalioth, i never used that word at all. it is disrespectful to put words into my mouth and being respectful is part of the CoC [11:10] * flaccid waits for a quotation or citation [11:10] asraniel__, your girlfriend is probably not suited for linux. mac os x or windows is probably more appropriate <<< you called his girlfriend 'dumb' in a very long winded manner. this is NOT appropriate for #kubuntu === ubuntu_ is now known as waspiuw === waspiuw is now known as waspius [11:11] nalioth, incorrect. your opinion maybe. [11:11] dumb is an insult, and i never used that word! so back off! [11:14] hi, does anyone know something about this problem: "cannot allocate resource region 7,8,9 of bridge" wich is shown during start-up? [11:14] Ok, ive just figured out that so far in two of my games, the models in the game are not appearing, could someone please tell me what i can do about this? [11:20] Hi, what is the name of that application that sits in the tray and informs about new updates available? [11:22] hi [11:22] hooray im unbanned === ubuntu_ is now known as ubuntu__ === ubuntu__ is now known as ubuntu_ [11:27] hi flaccid [11:30] !hi | Tm_T [11:30] Tm_T: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu!

[11:44] sry [11:56] I got a asus r1e laptop running kubuntu, every time kubuntu boots (kde and console) are set to the lowest possible brightness. I already had to install some workaround to get the brightness keys to work, how do I fix this (I want kubuntu to start with max brightness) [11:59] ronr_laptop, left click the battery icon [11:59] hi everybody .... [12:00] KRF: I don't have a battery icon, what package should I install? [12:20] Now tell me one thing... HOW exactly can you do such a setup to grub on your HD that kubuntu desktop cd cannot boot itself anymore but always starts to boot the installation on HD no matter what you choose from CD menu. :S [12:21] hi for some reason my system crashed and i cannot login..i am running a live cd in order to backup my files but it is going really really slow.something happened to the hard drive clusters or something..how can i fix it? [12:21] i have a Sun Type 7 USB keyboard. what is the correct keyboard layout? (US doesn't work so well; all the special keys map to NoSymbol and don't work) [12:21] Warod: Youd need to remove the CD drive from the list of bootable devices in your BIOS. [12:21] This's something I cannot quite explain to myself even with around 5 years of linux usage. :| [12:21] Pici: And how exactly does that help me boot the live environment? [12:22] Warod: It doesnt, I thought you asked how to make it not boot from the CD no matter what. [12:22] Pici: I'm trying to get into the live, but it boots me from HD to broken installation no matter what. [12:22] oi [12:23] Pici: I don't understand how I managed to do such a setup that won't boot the live environment from the CD menu. :S [12:23] it boots the HD instead. [12:23] Warod: You shouldnt be seeing your computers Grub menu at all if you boot from the CD. You'd need to go into your BIOS and make sure that the CD drive is listed before your harddrive in the boot options [12:24] Pici: I don't see Grub [12:24] Pici: Gives me the CD boot menu, in which I choose the live or the install option. And the thing starts booting my HD environment anyways! [12:24] If I grab the power off the HD, then it boots from CD [12:25] i cant get real rhapsody web version to work with ff3. was wondering if anyone else uses rhapsody and how did you get it to work [12:25] anyone? [12:26] Warod: Thats pretty odd [12:26] hello everyone. Where can I tell kmail to use SMTP-Account A for idendity A, smtp-account B for idendity B, and so on? I dont find where to fix this.. [12:26] Pici: exactly [12:26] * Pici hmms [12:27] I don't see how that's even theoretically possible [12:27] hi for some reason my system crashed and i cannot login..i am running a live cd in order to backup my files but it is going really really slow.something happened to the hard drive clusters or something..how can i fix it? [12:30] is there any other command instead of fsck [12:46] please, is there someone who want help with partition resize using Ubuntu LIVE CD ? [12:50] hello. is it possible that adept does not show all packages? Like openoffice.org2-l10-XY and so on? [12:52] elirips, see if 'apt-cache search' shows them>? [12:52] Dr_willis: yes, with aptitude i find them and can install them. I was just wondering why adept does not show all, or if adept can be "forced" to show everything.. [12:53] i never use adept. I perfer synaptic for the gui. [12:53] okay, guess i'll just stick with aptitude. It has the best UI ever :D [12:54] thats debateable also. :P [12:54] ive had aptitude do.. weird things befor. [12:54] I got used to it, its quite handy.. as soon as you got used to it.. what can take soooome time :D [12:55] It decided to remove some 200 packages one day.. and idmnetly reinstalled them.. Not sure what the deal was with that. [12:55] may of been some odd bug in one package. [12:55] I couldent get it to repeate the bug. [12:55] mh, i had that too when I switched from apt to aptitude.. but its a long time ago === root is now known as Guest34370 [13:15] how can discover wich modules are in use for my keyboard and mouse ? [13:16] lsmod command elsinore will show loaded modules [13:17] but i have a lot of modules [13:18] and i can't distinguish which is the right one used for usb mouse and keyboard [13:18] I have a ubuntu that works well but the slackware can't handle this device [13:19] i'd like to use the same modules or kernel conguration to make slackware works too [13:24] get a list of loaded modules form both and 'diff' the 2 lists. [13:28] hi [13:28] i have a problem [13:29] 'please state the nature of the linux emergancy' :) [13:30] i am using ubuntu 7.10 and i want to upgrade ubuntu 7.10 to kubuntu 8.04 how can i do it? [13:35] !dist-upgrade | tty [13:35] tty: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [13:35] ...ah well [13:37] Moin [13:38] is there a program to make a live cd of my entire desktop as it is now? [13:41] Theres some remastering script tools out. but not used them, and they are not in the repos. [13:42] If you want a flexiable live cd system. Slax, or puppylinux may be a better idea [13:43] so i gotta do it allllllllllll over again when i go set up laptops [13:44] dang it [13:44] I belive the alternative install cd - has some 'system' for seting up default installs (OEM installs?) [13:44] but thats not making the users 'desktop' onto a live cd. :) [13:45] i cant belive there isnt a a program for backing up your linux install into a iso or group of iso's [13:46] it doesnt have to be a live cd really if i can back everything up some how [13:46] theres dozens of backup/restore utilities in the package manager [13:47] Mondo/mindi can make a bootable 'clone' cd/dvd set. [13:47] or archive to a network server, and allow restoring from a single boot/restore cd. [13:48] so i just install Mondo/mindi on a fresh install of kubuntu on my other laptops and load up the back up iso [13:48] ? [13:48] and hey prestomato? [13:48] No.. you install mondo/mindi.. backup that system.. and put those disks in a new machine.. and get a clone. [13:48] sweet [13:48] No need to 'install' the os' then restore. :) [13:48] thats how i had to do stuff years ago with windows. :) [13:49] oh..... well thats easy [13:49] then i can just set up a clone and give everyone in my uni copies [13:49] problem will be they will all have identical hostnames/password/other things also.. [13:50] and if the hardware is very different you will have issues. [13:50] yeah but the hardware issues can always be fixed [13:51] just switch a few drivers and it will work [13:51] perhaps.. perhaps it will take more time to fix. then doing a normal install. [13:51] try it and see i guess [13:51] how can find what module is handling mouse and keyboard ? [13:52] unless.... you can just back up the themes/programs/icons/settings and such and pack them all into some file [13:52] just backing up the HOME directory is even easier. [13:52] but you dident ask about that. :) [13:53] and that wont get any customized /etc/ or other configs [13:53] the home directory has all the apps and themes then? [13:53] No - it dosent have any 'apps' that are isntalled system wide.. or system wide themes. [13:53] it has the users settings/files, and user installed things [13:54] ah [13:54] You are thinking in windows 'program files' directory terms. :) [13:54] :( [13:55] i only been using linux for a day [13:56] ah..... dear so much to learn [13:56] time to read some books on linux. :) and tutorials and guides. [13:57] !training [13:57] A desktop course manual for Ubuntu 7.10 can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training [13:57] I think thats getting updated to 8,4 as we speak.. but its a bit ubuntu specific [13:57] aww.... reading dang it [13:58] i have to say i got the coputer 70% set up [13:58] computer* [13:58] Darn it all for having to learn how to use tools! :) [13:58] all the apps are set up that i need [13:58] got the wine programs i needed running [13:59] got maya installed [13:59] cubase [13:59] everything all hunky dory [13:59] hey how do i access kd4 system settings via console, "systemsettings" seems to bring up the kde3 menu [14:00] kcontrol?

[14:01] adityag, why not have windows format it? gparted may be able to do it. If its on the live cd. (or install it first) [14:02] i am not uable to format it by bootable windows cd, but i dont want to install kubuntu now, i just want to format a ntfs drive,from live kubuntu [14:04] Hmm.. I have a 'mkfs.ntfs' on my installed system.. not sure if thats on the live cd or not [14:06] oh crap i just upgraded to kde 4..... i hope its not bug riddled and full of fail [14:09] so yeah my login manager is for some reason not showing a theme [14:09] just a blue window with a login popup [14:10] I thought the kdm4 screen was rather simple looking.. [14:11] But i dont use kde4. :) [14:11] i'm wondering if maybe i shouldn't either [14:11] kdm4 dosent use the kdm3 themes. not sure if there are any themes for it. [14:11] You canuse kdm3 if you perfer [14:11] how [14:12] i'd like to do that [14:12] sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm [14:12] should ask what one to use [14:12] super [14:13] i do remember setting then when i installed kde4, i thought it was asking for the default window manager ...

[14:56] rysiek: yes [14:56] jussi01: or "Working week", etc, right? [14:57] yep [14:57] jussi01: yeah, well, get the day, but as a whole, without a possibility to select single hour(s) [14:57] jussi01: and - which hurts most - without non-full-day events shown [14:57] rysiek: bleh [14:59] jussi01: yeah, getting on my nerves, really [14:59] jussi01: I really don't want to have to debug the bugger by moving the korganizer conf dir, and then moving it back in, file by file, to see just what causes it [15:00] thought there should be some obvious option I am missing [15:00] meh. [15:01] rysiek: what does your time configuration in configure calender look like? [15:02] jussi01: want a screenshot? or some specific setting?

I'm at first in IRC and at first out of the Windows OS's [16:11] I've only a question for package conversion .. if I take a rpm and try to convert to .deb .. [16:12] I use "alien" command .. Problem is that often I'd like to convert 32 bit package, and it won't allow me because of "architecture differences!" [16:12] comune needs a package called 'alien' [16:12] Is not there an option like "--force-architecture" for dpkg also for alien ? [16:13] ilya .. I know. The question is another one [16:13] comune: no, you cant change the arch, you need to find the rpm with the correct architecture [16:14] comune: alien is horrible - I wouldnt use it unles you _must_ [16:15] Until know I acted in this way: open I virtual machine (w/ Virtualbox or Vmware) where I have a VM running Ubuntu 32bit. I move the package .rpm there, converted with alien. [16:15] Hello guys... [16:15] Then put back in AMD64 machine and installed with "dpkg -i --force-arch" ... [16:15] Always with success .. but is not there a simpler way ? [16:15] I just compiled KDE4.1 from trunk, Do you know how to make kdm the default login manager on kubuntu? [16:16] what if the differences are all about the 32- and 64- bits? then you need a proper version of package I tseems there is a rpm.pbone.net or somethin like this where you can find the one [16:16] The kdm I just compiled... [16:16] comune: you are going the right way to break things. what are you converting? [16:16] augusto. Run dpkg-reconfigure kde [16:16] and choose the new display manager u want [16:16] kdm even ;) [16:16] yes sorry .. sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm [16:16] But it will work with a kdm that I compiled?

Thanks a lot. Do you know what it was that I actually did? [20:02] mmo|: ok you are new to linux so i'll explain a little [20:02] mmo|: in windows the kernel is monolithic, it does what it does and thats all [20:02] mmo|: in linux the kernel is modular and you can add and remove modules as required to add stuff you need [20:03] ok [20:03] linux is a monolithic kernel, too [20:03] mmo|: the module for your network card is loaded at boot but for that particular card it is not right [20:03] video? [20:03] rickest: then howcome you can modprobe modules into it [20:03] ActionParsnip: those are drivers [20:03] rickest: its a kernel module [20:04] that's exactly what the great debate between Tanenbaum and Torvalds was about [20:04] mmo|: so we removed the module then shoved it back in with different settings [20:04] why cant i 'do-release-upgrade' from hardy to intrepid? [20:04] rickest: i sit on the side of its called modprobe not driprobe [20:04] ActionParsnip: ok! Thanks for the info! Normally the settings would not stay when reboot or? [20:05] ActionParsnip: that's a binary distinction, not kernel architecture [20:05] mmo|: get updated man, if the update doesnt fix it you may have to add that set of instructions to your bootup to make it permanent but hopefully the update will fix it [20:05] rickest: thats how i see it [20:06] ActionParsnip: then you see it wrong, sorry. linux is a monolithic kernel [20:06] rickest: and it kinda makes sense how you plug in a module to the kernel to make it work [20:06] ActionParsnip: yes, I also figure that the update fixes it. I was just curious if the modprobe thing stays after a reboot? [20:06] rickest: fine [20:06] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel#Architecture [20:06] mmo|: no, they are loaded in when you boot [20:06] rickest: im busy and i really dont care [20:06] ActionParsnip: yes, ok. [20:07] ActionParsnip: you don't care that you're wrong? interesting [20:08] rickest: no i dont care [20:08] works for me [20:09] what is comand line to see what video card is hooked up?

[20:33] there a better server for this? [20:33] eagles0513875: it could just replace the old ones, thereby not using any more extra space [20:33] coreymon77: gotcha [20:34] <_CrashMaster_> Can I use a kubuntu install to run chkdsk on a windows drive? [20:34] _CrashMaster_: there is no such thing as chkdsk on kubuntu [20:34] let me try that [20:35] lol, i remember scan disk [20:35] lol same here i still use it [20:35] vista's has become much slower then xps [20:35] ...

Need to fix the boot volume, but the box in question refuses to boot from optical media. [20:36] coil oops no i dont have to go [20:36] _CrashMaster_: not possible, the boot sequence is probably just turned about [20:36] oh crap wtf is this [20:36] silly me ;( [20:36] "pci parity error!

[20:37] <_CrashMaster_> coreymon77: No, I mean the box in question will NOT boot from optical media (bad dvd drive) [20:37] coil: lol, i love it when stuff like that happens [20:37] coil: funiest error ive ever seen, "keyboard error, press any key to continue" [20:38] starting up [20:38] coreymon77: lol [20:38] coil this time have to go [20:38] lol === sinan_ is now known as nyuu === Nookie^ is now known as Noq^ [20:50] drawing program brlcad.org needs some libraries... Last time it was something for W-ies right nowwindow system. Xlib.h - what is it? xlib.h - I cannot scratch the repositor [20:50] ..the repositories right now. [20:52] hi [20:55] ilya, are you asking which package you need for them files? === touil_ is now known as touil [20:55] yes, [20:56] Im not 100%, but sounds like the xorg-dev pacakge [20:58] but it must be something "essential", and last time, I couldn't '"make" program because of 'mistakes' in .... ok xorg-dev "sounds" possible, but I' llhave checked it not soon [20:59] wait around if needed, im sure someone with more experince will confirm for you [21:02] I really do not understand why didn't they put some essentially-needed libraries into the installation... I had to compile program while I had bad internet, and there were needed gcc, glib, etc... I know they wanted to offer fresh versions, but I miss for 'old' distributions on few cds [21:02] ilya, what do you need? [21:03] you can install the package build-essential, which will install most the things needed to compile software [21:03] what do you mean how? no internet access? [21:03] cheap internet since I have 2 download about 40 mb of libraries in addition to 22 mb of brlcad's tarball. But, seriously, I need a cup of cocoa.

[21:12] frnds [21:13] my sister installed ubuntu on my lap,she erased the entire hard disk,is there anyway to recover those files [21:14] There is a freeware as OnTrack Easy Data Recovery - under Windows OS, I used it... [21:15] but the only partition i have is linux [21:16] appu did it used to be windows? [21:16] yes [21:16] it was ntfs [21:17] There is surely a versions and just another programs 4 linux. Also, such programs can treat the hard disk as raw and can arrange files into "Folder.ext/file01.ext", etc [21:17] there might be some bootdisk software, but im unsure of any software that will recreate things from a ntfs partion to a linux one. [21:18] oh god [21:18] u probably will not want to observe such arranged files and folders and folder "Folder.odt" with about 600 items as 01.odt, 02.odt, etc [21:19] yes,tats righ [21:19] t [21:19] But it makes a sence to find pictures and music files [21:21] treat your computer as a thing you "have to" work on, in a heaven, you will not want to even see a PC.

Anyone know how to fix this? === ssj is now known as SSJ_GZ [21:35] n8 [21:36] hat if u only need 2 switch it on somewhere in the 'tools' in the firefox [21:37] and green puzzle can mean something about flash [21:40] ilya: you can find out what it wants to install when you click on it, i know it needs java [21:41] ok, but I always thinked that java is some kind of pre-installed, and in the latest version [21:42] i always thought so [21:42] hi. since 8.04 my 4th mousebutton got reordered. (from emulating button3 to emulating button1). how may i set it back? [21:43] maltedik: edit xorg.conf [21:43] leftbas: in which way? [21:43] it looks almost like the old one [21:44] hang on... [21:45] maltedik: darn, i can't find it. there used to be a section describing mouse behavior, including button emulation [21:45] still looking... [21:45] wait. maybe, i found, whats doing thestuff [21:46] Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" might be it [21:46] that sounds right [21:47] now, i'd needed quassel.... brb ;) [21:52] seems to be the protocol [21:52] Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" [21:53] i haven't had to mess with the xorg.conf file much, so i'm a little rusty [21:56] i've a problem: i finaly got dual head to work on ati radeon 9600pro, but: i can't play video (system reboots) i can't adjust screensaver (keeps telling loading while it's doing nothing it seems) [21:57] glxgears and fglrxinfo doesn't work either, proprietary drivers in use [21:58] i got dual head to work with xinerama, so two sections monitor, screen etc === sinan is now known as nyuu [22:11] Eclipse in the repos is 3.2 ... but 3.4 has been released.

[22:17] hey ActionParsnip [22:18] i meant it is in the repos [22:18] oh [22:18] ActionParsnip, I'm not sure on the 'safe' way to do this but changing kmenu.png will change the image. [22:19] hmm makes sense [22:19] Hi everyone [22:20] hi [22:20] Hi jhusep [22:20] I am running a dual monitor setup using xrandr, how can I check/increase the refresh rate on one of my monitors? [22:21] navetz__: backup then edit xorg.conf [22:21] navetz,can I ask which graphics card are you using? [22:22] steve555: intel 810 [22:22] ActionParsnip: I am using xrandr and not editing xorg.conf other then my virtual size. [22:23] navetz__: you set refresh rate there bro [22:24] I see,you try k-menu,system-settings,then monitor&display,click on administrator mode,enter password,then you might be able to change the refresh rate. [22:25] steve555: I found out how to do it with xrandr, do you know what a good refresh rate for a 22" lcd?

[22:45] hi all [22:45] hi [22:45] do you see the loading screen, or not even that? [22:46] i saw the part where it says Ubuntu and the loading bar then when its almost finished loading it starts to blink [22:46] when I press ++ to restart my X-server it makes reboot of my system instead [22:47] ubuntu: can you enter recovery mode [22:47] no i cant [22:47] when i try recovery mode it also blinks as well [22:47] none of the kernels seem to work [22:48] if I try '/etc/init.d/gdm restart' than system suspend [22:48] any help? [22:48] ubuntu do you even get the option to enter consol in rescue? [22:48] im not sure what you mean [22:48] will ubuntu become as big as debian? [22:49] which is more "free" and does ubuntu aim to become as free with gobuntu? [22:49] CostaRicanQuaker: It will be bigger and freer. [22:50] TimS: you say it as though you knew it to be a fact [22:50] ubuntu: if you get no options, i will assume no. Have you tryed pressing ctrl + alt + f1 or f2? [22:50] CostaRicanQuaker: Why are you here? [22:50] yes [22:50] i have [22:50] and i get the terminal [22:50] so i can login from there [22:50] CostaRicanQuaker: well, at the end of the day you're free to chose the distro that you like the best [22:51] but after that i dont know what else i can do [22:51] yes, the thing is, i am too used to dumb down windows and too partial to ubuntu [22:51] Ok everybody,I've just sorted my problem out. [22:51] ubuntu: So, after you have logged in at the console does "startkde" work? [22:51] meaning i want to stay with ubuntu but from reading it looks like debian is more "free" [22:51] ubuntu, login from there and run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [22:51] ive not tried [22:51] however it also looks as though ubuntu wants to become freer [22:52] if i were try type startkde willthat give me my graphics back? [22:52] so can anyone help me? [22:52] Hi, I just installed 8.04 fresh, but Kubuntu was not able to recognize my wireless dongle. Could someone help me configure it? [22:52] CostaRicanQuaker: well what's your main prority? usability or idiological purity? [22:52] witepa: what wireless dongle? [22:52] Ubuntu is fairly free as it is, it doesn't supply propritary drivers on the CD. [22:52] * geek has used etch, its very light, but not updated regularly. some things don't seem to work tho (like apt-get autoclean) [22:53] well, as long as i can learn to use a distro to eventually lern everything i can from it and all its programmes are free to use [22:53] i'm happy [22:53] ubuntu is a better learning distro IMO [22:53] But if you want freedom, use gobuntu. It is very similar to ubuntu, just without the propritary side. You should be able to get ubuntu support as normal. [22:53] geek: a Linksys Compact-G USB Adaptor, Model No. WUSB54GC [22:53] I have hear mixed experiences with etch [22:54] witepa: You'll need to use ndiswrapper [22:54] http://jefim.wordpress.com/2007/07/24/how-to-linksys-wusb54gc-wireless-and-ubuntu-linux-704-feisty/ [22:54] yes, but i am just switching from windows xp and i have no linux previous experience i mean sure i used kubuntu like two years ago but just used it, didn't know anything about it or had any interest [22:54] should i try startkde? [22:54] but gobuntu seems new enough for me not to be good at learning it sa it specified it's probably best for experieneced linux users at this stage [22:54] witepa: seems to be something on it on the forums... i'm poking at it [22:54] i want to try either kubuntu or xubuntu [22:55] ubuntu: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [22:55] CostaRicanQuaker: stick to one of the official ubuntu versions (kubuntu, ubuntu and xubuntu) then experiment from there... [22:55] CostaRicanQuaker: You use windows at the moment? [22:55] Costa: you can really question all distro's, and depending who you ask you will get a diffrent responce. Personsoally i think ubuntu/kubuntu are both great distros for learning on and expanding from [22:56] If so, try Wubi, you can use the flavours of ubuntu risk free, when you have learnt enough to get going, switch to gobuntu [22:56] what will that do? [22:56] TimS: yes [22:56] witepa: it uses a ralink chipset, they have open source drivers, but you might need to compile it [22:56] ubuntu: That will reconfigure the Graphical User Interface, so it should be useable again [22:56] HighHo: so i will probably stick to kubuntu, now for my girlfriend's laptop, in a couple of years if i want to help her and she has xubuntu and i have kubuntu [22:57] ubuntu: it will reconfigure your graphics server to how it was set up initially [22:57] geek: alright, I will probably need some help as how to do that, I have no internet access on the Kubuntu computer, as it has no ethernet port [22:57] geek: I have a ralink card, I couldn't get the compiled driver to work, ndiswrapper was the only way [22:57] iwll i be able to help her? as in its pretty similar? and is it easier for wifi and an old laptop to use xubuntu in terms of convenience as opposed to kubuntu? [22:58] witepa, TimS: personally i have never gotten it working, i usuallly let a bored friend to do it [22:58] TimS: I was told by a friend that he was able to use this dongle "out of the box" though [22:58] witepa: If you use the CD as a repository, you can install ndiswrapper, then download a driver on another computer and move it over and load it in. [22:58] http://jefim.wordpress.com/2007/07/24/how-to-linksys-wusb54gc-wireless-and-ubuntu-linux-704-feisty/ [22:58] Thats the easiest way I think [22:59] CostaRicanQuaker: xubuntu, kubuntu, ubuntu have much in common, the main diffrence being the desktop enviroments [22:59] Xubuntu is slightly lighter than ubuntu and kubuntu, as it uses the lighter xfce, apart from that, its just user preference/ [23:00] TimS: how do I use the CD as a repository? [23:00] If you open adept, then go "File" > "Manage Repositories" [23:01] Switch to the third party software tab, and there should be a CD entry at the top, starting with cdrom: [23:01] If not, click the add cd-rom button below. [23:02] Either way, tick the box next to the entry [23:02] Close that, then just look for the package called ndiswrapper. [23:03] what advatanges or how is ubuntu better than mandriva? [23:03] You will have to find the driver(.exe) from a cd or from the internet and then move it onto linux, and unpack it. After that, follow the guide. [23:03] i just called my grilfriend to dissuade this guy from doing anything other than backing up her laptop [23:03] CostaRicanQuaker: The main one for me is support. [23:03] as i want to install xubuntu on her laptop [23:03] TimS: alright, I'll try that and be back soon [23:03] I have found ubuntu support very reliable. [23:03] witepa: Good luck :p [23:04] CostaRicanQuaker: I dont think anyone can argue distos, personally i think expertiement if possible and see what suits you. [23:05] CostaRicanQuaker: The best way to try distros out is using live disks, and seeing what you like and what works for you, [23:05] kubuntu for me and xubuntu for my girl then [23:05] What about exiting the realm of Linux? What about things like OpenSolaris? [23:06] Go to the shops and look for a linux magazine, they often have disks with live cds of distros on, try them out, see what you like. [23:06] witepa: Anything but AIX. [23:06] Good old CDE> [23:07] i'm not that muchinto unix like [23:07] but eventually i'd like to learn how to use freebsd [23:07] i've heard cool stuff ffrom my friend chance he's scottish he works maintaining and creating webpages [23:08] BSD is quite nice, but its more complicated to get into than linux is, IMO. [23:08] yes thats wht he said [23:08] so since i had already used kubuntu in the past [23:08] i might as well learn about the linux kernel and a little bit of unix on the side [23:08] and maybe in five to 7 years [23:08] i'll try it out [23:09] 5 to 7 years? [23:09] well, i want to learn it well you know, i'm a windows user so... [23:10] i'm no computer genius, i'm a sensitive guy, i play guitar, write poetry, bicycle...not a math person [23:10] and i'm old [23:10] i'm 22 [23:10] oh god, dont run bsd then [23:10] so that's the aproximate ihave in my mind [23:11] till i can dare try it [23:11] 22 is not old [23:11] HighHo: no no i want to learn [23:12] CostaRicanQuaker: im only joking, you should learn what you can, have a safe partion and get your hands dirty trying new distos and building software [23:15] TimS, geek: hmm, according to this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=772077 it should work right out of the box... unfortunately, I don't know KDE 4 as well as I do gnome [23:15] although people seem to be having mixed results [23:18] i will be back later [23:18] cheers and thanks for your advice [23:19] does the kubuntu 8.04 DVD image install kde 3 or kde 4 ? 'cause i know for the CDs there were two seperate .iso's, one for each... [23:19] cya CostaRicanQuaker. [23:19] soopurman: kde remix cd's contain kde4 [23:20] so if what i'm downloading doesn't say "remix" then it should have kde3 ? [23:21] yes soopurman [23:21] soopurman- the DVD should be KDE3, yes [23:21] cool, thanks guys [23:21] here goes! [23:27] hello [23:28] i have user of Debian and Kubuntu since 3 years [23:28] my computer sometimes freeze since some months ago [23:29] G'day from New Zealand evry1 [23:31] G'day New Zeland! [23:31] Have LTS 6.06 & the timeserver doesn't werk...any suggestions? [23:32] G'day HiHo [23:32] where u from? [23:32] it actually happens in Debian testing and Kubuntu hardy [23:33] beagleburt: oceana.pool.ntp.org pings ok for me, but have you tryed a diffrent time server? [23:34] i am trying to get my Date/time automatically adjusted with the pool.ntp but i can't find it???? [23:39] what does everyone use for backing up their kubuntu systems ? [23:40] beagleburt: Dont use ntp, hopefully someone else can assist [23:40] EagleScreen: there is more than one possibility why this may happen (if youre searching for answers and not just some empathy) [23:41] just the computer freeze [23:41] and i have to push reset [23:41] i just need to backup my configuration and programs [23:41] no personal data [23:41] i think Linux Kernel freeze too [23:41] i have read ubuntu documentation and i am confused which program works best [23:42] and backs up and restores fairly quickly [23:42] because i cannot reboor with Alt Impr B [23:42] helpy: im using plain old tar [23:42] how do you do that maltedik ? [23:42] (and pipe it through gpg for more security) [23:42] wait... [23:44] i also remember that it freeze using KDE 3.5, i cannot remember a freeze using Gnome or KDE4 [23:45] i can remeber that two freezes were just opening a file with kate, one of them it was /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:45] EagleScreen- a complete freeze is usually a hardware issue [23:45] EagleScreen- my experience is that it's usually the GPU overheating, sometimes it could be bad memory [23:47] i have not error in memory check [23:49] it never has freeze under Windows XP, and i think it never frozen using Gnome or KDE4, i start to think that KDE 3.5 could have any problem [23:52] EagleScreen: popped elcos are a common reason for unreasonable freezes [23:53] maltedik, popped elcos???? what is that [23:53] a recent update to the kernel, broke virtualbox.. and uninstalling/reinstall doesn't fix it.. [23:54] The kernel module won't load.. [23:54] and... the virtualbox package with kubuntu is pretty out of date, too.. [23:55] EagleScreen: damaged electrlyte condensators on your motherboard [23:56] i have the VCORE +12V in 11.84V [23:56] what's the easiest way for me to share files from my kubuntu box to a windows box so that the windows machine can view them in explorer instead of IE? [23:58] hello. anyone had "dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)" ? [23:58] the message right before is "Packar upp ersättande linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic ..."
