| beata|desktop | I'm having a bit of video mode trouble. Where'd be the best place to ask? | 01:16 |
| ibou_ | what is the process NetworkManagerD for ? | 01:20 |
| beata|desktop | Mmm anyway, trying to define a video mode for my widescreen monitor. Put the mode into the (hopefully) correct location in xorg.conf, but the X server log doesn't mention seeing it. | 01:26 |
| navetz__ | where can I find help with some flash development (actionscript 3) | 01:35 |
| Ikawe | beata|desktop: by the (hopefully) correct location, do you mean under a 'Section "screen"' on a line begining with "mode" ? | 01:35 |
| Ikawe | oops, on a line begining with "modes", rather | 01:36 |
| beata|desktop | Oooh.. I had a typo. | 01:36 |
| Ikawe | beata|desktop: type in your xorg.conf? or in your irc message? | 01:37 |
| beata|desktop | In my conf. I had the modeline defined in the "monitor" section, and typo'd the name in the "screen" section. | 01:38 |
| zabbadapp | sebastian: in the openoffice menu, select File->Wizards->Install new dictionaries ... then follow instructions and select Swedish ... when done, select in the menu Tools->Language->For all text->more...->Default languages for document ... and you should find Swedish (may appear already in language menu) | 01:39 |
| beata|desktop | Now it should work. But before I restart, how might I go about forbidding a predefined mode? As in, I don't list it in xorg.conf but it shows in the RandR applet and it isn't compatible with my display. | 01:40 |
| beata|desktop | It's that damn "1280x1024" mode, BTW. | 01:43 |

| Dr_willis | ive not seen a way to 'convert' ntfs to ext3.. :) one can deleta a partition and remake it as ext3 | 02:34 |
| Dr_willis | but thats not really converting. | 02:34 |
| Kevin___ | Hi, I'm looking to download Kubuntu, and I noticed that on the download page, there's Kubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) and Kubuntu 8.04 (KDE 4 Remix). Could somebody explain the difference please? | 02:36 |
| DarthFrog | Dr_willis_: You don't have to delete the partition, you can just mkfs on the existing NTFS partition. | 02:37 |
| jals | Dr_willis: yeah guess that's what i mean | 02:37 |
| jals | will it make any difference? | 02:37 |
| DarthFrog | Kevin___: The remix has KDE4, the other has KDE 3.5.9 | 02:37 |
| Kevin___ | Oh, Ok. Thank you so much! | 02:37 |
| Ikawe | CostaRicanQuaker: I mean, when you try to start firefox, and it doesn't start, are you getting any error message? Or does nothing happen at all? | 02:40 |
| Ikawe | jals: well, ext3 has been around a lot longer in Linux than has ntfs, so I would put more faith in it in that regard. | 02:42 |
| Ikawe | jals: if you google "ntfs vs ext3" you'll find a lot of information | 02:44 |
| Dr_willis | DarthFrog, Hmm.. something seems wrong about formating somthing fdisk says is a ntfs, as a ext3... :) | 02:45 |
| jals | Ikawe: actually the reason i thought to mention it is cos i just found this: http://www.ubergeek.org.uk/cpu_usage.png | 02:45 |
| flaccid | lol | 02:46 |
| flaccid | i doubt that is accurate | 02:47 |
| Ikawe | Dr_willis: you would certainly lose all the information on it. But there's nothing wrong with that | 02:47 |
| Dr_willis | Ikawe, then why have partition types at all? | 02:47 |
| Ikawe | no, I've misunderstood. He would change the partition type to ext3. It's just that he wouldnt delete the partition, just change the type of it. | 02:48 |
| Dr_willis | Ok.. that makes more sence then. I forgot that you can just 'change the type' :) | 02:48 |
| Dr_willis | I just am so used to doing 'd' to delete, n, t , in fdisk.. i never even though about just changing the type. | 02:49 |
| Dr_willis | Of course in most cases the whold drive is 1 ntfs, and i need to delete to make 2 partitions for linux. swap and / | 02:49 |
| Dr_willis | old habbits i guess. | 02:49 |
| Ikawe | Dr_willis: actually, I guess I don't understand. What is the relationship between a partition type and the filesystem type that goes on that partition | 02:53 |
| Ikawe | or are they the same thing? | 02:53 |
| cyberponix | I need some help making the changes I made in konsole, stay... i know I need to be root but, I am unsure how | 02:55 |
| flaccid | cyberponix: changes? | 02:55 |
| cyberponix | yes my wifi set up | 02:55 |
| flaccid | cyberponix: wi fi is controlled by knetworkmanager | 02:56 |
| cyberponix | ie sudo -i -H (then, as root) echo ath_pci>>/etc/modules | 02:56 |
| flaccid | cyberponix: oh. that command only needs to be run once unless something is removing ath_pci from /etc/modules after | 02:57 |
| flaccid | it already does 'stay' | 02:57 |
| cyberponix | well I had to restart my comp, when I did my wifi no longer worked so I went through and re did everyeverytimething I do,t want to have to do that | 02:58 |
| flaccid | you probably have not configured it correctly and something is overriding | 02:59 |
| Ikawe | the command: echo ath_pci>>/etc/modules, is writing "ath_pci" to the end of the file /etc/modules, so unless something is changing the file, which seems unlikely, it should still be in there. | 02:59 |
| Ikawe | you could read the /etc/modules file and see if "ath_pci" is in there to be sure. | 02:59 |
| cyberponix | I get a "Permission denied" | 02:59 |
| Ikawe | when writing to the file, or attempting to read it? | 03:00 |
| cyberponix | sudo -i -H (then, as root) echo ath_pci>>/etc/modules, when I type that | 03:00 |
| flaccid | cyberponix: you only need cat /etc/modules to read it. the perms should be -rw-r--r-- owned by root | 03:01 |
| cyberponix | right so how do I go root in konsole | 03:01 |
| flaccid | cyberponix: you don't need to in this case. its readable by all users. | 03:02 |
| flaccid | we still don't know the actual series of commands etc. you run for your networking. probably good idea to show us what guide you are using | 03:02 |
| cyberponix | k hold on | 03:02 |
| Ikawe | cyberponix: "sudo su" would change you to the root user. | 03:03 |
| Ikawe | go wild | 03:03 |
| cyberponix | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=792158 | 03:03 |
| flaccid | sudo su is bad practice. su or sudo -i is what should be used for root shell | 03:03 |
| flaccid | cyberponix: what is the card's entry in lscpi ? | 03:05 |
| cyberponix | so then it should be 'sudo -i -H sudo -i echo ath_pci>>/etc/modules' | 03:05 |
| cyberponix | wow wtf command not found now.... | 03:05 |
| Ikawe | sudo -i (enter) | 03:06 |
| Ikawe | then | 03:06 |
| Ikawe | echo ath_pci>>/etc/modules | 03:06 |
| cyberponix | k | 03:06 |
| flaccid | !root | cyberponix probably best to find out what you are actually do first | 03:06 |
| ubottu | cyberponix probably best to find out what you are actually do first: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:06 |
| flaccid | not that the command you mentioned is on the link you showed me but anyway. | 03:07 |
| * Ikawe agrees with flaccid | 03:07 | |
| cyberponix | I do know the password, I'm just new to command line | 03:07 |
| cyberponix | like I said before i used the code for the link I posted, it did not stay so i figured the other code would make it all stay, am I wrong? | 03:09 |
| flaccid | if you add it to /etc/modules and it is still there on boot but doesn't load the module, best to check the log | 03:09 |
| flaccid | cyberponix: bad assumption | 03:09 |
| cyberponix | glad i came here first | 03:09 |
| cyberponix | like I said I am new to command line | 03:10 |
| cyberponix | I do thank you guys for helpping me out here | 03:11 |
| flaccid | [12:05] <flaccid> cyberponix: what is the card's entry in lscpi ? | 03:11 |
| cyberponix | command not found... looks like I need to redo | 03:11 |

| cyberponix | sorry | 03:13 |
| cyberponix | is that what you wanted | 03:14 |
| flaccid | yeah | 03:14 |
| flaccid | cyberponix: well if ath_pci is in /etc/modules then it should work then you can use knetworkmanager. if you boot up and its in there but not loaded then check logs/ come back here for troubleshoot. | 03:17 |

| cyberponix | Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter | 05:58 |
| cyberponix | sudo modprobe -r ath_pci; sudo modprobe ath_pci | 05:59 |

| flaccid | ok np | 06:07 |

| cyberponix | I may have found something on the other comp to help hold on a sec | 06:13 |
| flaccid | Hydryad: This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB. | 06:14 |
| Hydryad | so.. I partition some free space at the end of a drive that also has a ntfs partition... would that be why? | 06:16 |
| Hydryad | partitioned* | 06:16 |
| flaccid | Hydryad: menu.lst has a wrong root entry | 06:18 |
| Hydryad | how do I rectify something like that? | 06:18 |
| flaccid | Hydryad: goto konsole and run sudo grub then in the grub prompt run find /boot/grub/stage1 | 06:19 |
| sigma_12 | whats the .ICEauthority file for? sometimes i fail to boot into kde4.1 because of it | 06:19 |
| Hydryad | this is a non-booting machine period, I installed and it never has booted | 06:20 |
| Hydryad | and the graphical os doesn't work for livecd | 06:20 |
| Hydryad | it gives out-of-range errors on my monitor | 06:20 |
| flaccid | Hydryad: you can do it from grub itself | 06:20 |
| Hydryad | when the grub error 17 message pops up? | 06:20 |
| flaccid | Hydryad: does that message pop up straight away or after you select a grub entry? | 06:21 |
| Hydryad | straight away | 06:21 |
| flaccid | reinstall grub then | 06:21 |
| Hydryad | well I am right now... but what should I do differently | 06:21 |
| flaccid | !grubfix | Hydryad | 06:21 |

| cyberponix | I am still getting the same results as I just posted | 07:33 |
| cyberponix | no suchfile or directory | 07:33 |
| flaccid | not possible, i have tested the script! | 07:33 |

| mlody | how i can add to autostart emerald --replace?? | 07:34 |
| flaccid | !autostart | mlody | 07:34 |
| ubottu | mlody: To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. For a complete guide, see http://jucato.org/kde/kde-autostart.html | 07:34 |

| cyberponix | could i be missing something a depackage or something? | 07:35 |
| flaccid | cyberponix: just cd into the madwifi directotry in /tmp ... | 07:36 |
| cyberponix | I know that a .tar.gz file is compressed maybe I am missing a decompessor | 07:36 |
| Jucato | cyberponix: try tar xzvf <filename.tar.gz> | 07:36 |
| Jucato | you can press Tab to autocomplete the filename | 07:36 |
| Jucato | take note where it decompresses to | 07:37 |
| cyberponix | that worked | 07:38 |
| Jucato | afaik, the f in xzf should always be last, and followed by the filename... not really sure, but that's how I do it anyway :) | 07:39 |
| cyberponix | or not still no file or directory | 07:39 |

| binskipy2u | reason i'm asking, i installed kubuntu 8.04.1 amd64 | 10:25 |
| binskipy2u | and i installed kde4 | 10:25 |
| tuxwulf | Jucato > Yes, that's what I am doing.. | 10:25 |

| ubottu | tuxwulf: 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 | 10:28 |
| tuxwulf | Jucato > Thanks. I will take another look. | 10:29 |
| binskipy2u | i seem to have everything enabled in the repos. | 10:29 |
| Jucato | tuxwulf: and I'm figuring that most of what's keeping you away from KDE 4 will be gone by 4.1 (Kubuntu 8.10) or 4.2 (Kubuntu 9.04) | 10:30 |

| binskipy2u | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25646/ | 10:39 |
| tuxwulf | So at least my idea of what is the default in 8.04 is different | 10:40 |
| Jucato | tuxwulf: well, I'm not really sure. as far as 8.04 is concerned there are 2 separate versions | 10:40 |
| flaccid | binskipy2u: you don't have proposed enabled, but its in updates now and looks like the same package. so yeah not much we can both do. im using the same driver | 10:41 |
| binskipy2u | oh well | 10:41 |
| binskipy2u | just sucks that id have to hard re-boot if x crashes instead of just ctl/alt/bksp and bringing it right back up | 10:41 |
| tuxwulf | I am glad to find out KDE 3 is still available on this latest kubuntu version, though it seems to be chosen to become obsolete as it is... | 10:41 |

| flaccid | binskipy2u: indeed. i hard crash over 5 times a day. the weird thing is that i generally don't crash on logout, the fix they put in the proposed update fixed it for me but obviously not you | 10:42 |

| binskipy2u | and do it from there, see if that works | 10:45 |

| flaccid | binskipy2u: unfortunate. | 11:02 |

| flaccid | binskipy2u: no. i don't think you get it. its a bug. | 11:03 |
| flaccid | binskipy2u: you could try the normal driver instead of the restricted. ie. run kdesudo jockey-kde and disable the restricted | 11:03 |
| binskipy2u | is atis linux driver from it's website "better" then the restricted one? from synaptic? | 11:04 |

| flaccid | lakis1982: the game should of came with uninstall instructions. | 11:44 |
| lakis1982 | there are not any | 11:45 |
| flaccid | sigma_12: you also may need to convert with http://he.fi/bchunk/ which is probably in the repos | 11:45 |
| flaccid | lakis1982: not a good 3rd party vendor then | 11:46 |
| lakis1982 | listen listen | 11:46 |
| lakis1982 | i went into the game folder | 11:46 |
| lakis1982 | its in /usr/local/games/racer ...... in there there exists a file saying uninstall .... its a shell script ... can i do something with it in order to uninstall the game? | 11:47 |
| flaccid | lakis1982: probably, thats probably what it is for | 11:47 |
| lakis1982 | what can i do wiht it ? | 11:47 |
| mefisto__ | lakis1982: what did you need to do to install the game? | 11:48 |
| flaccid | run it with sudo | 11:48 |

| flaccid | [20:43] <lakis1982> hiii.. i have downloaded a racing game for linux called racer .... tha file was in .run format and i installed it .... now how can i uninstall the game ???? | 11:48 |
| lakis1982 | you mean to type .... sudo /usr/local/games/racer/uninstall ??? | 11:49 |
| Andy_D_1975 | Hi there, when downloading kubuntu-8.04.1-dvd-i386, I repeatedly get a specific MD5 which differs from the one given on the site. The DVD won't start (neither live nor installation nor memory test), and when trying to run the umenu.exe in Windows, I get "invalid cd detected". Any suggestion? Thanks a lot! | 11:49 |
| flaccid | lakis1982: yeah if thats the location of the uninstall script | 11:51 |
| lakis1982 | ok i went to the games dir with the cd command | 11:51 |
| lakis1982 | now i should type what ??? sudo uninstall ? | 11:51 |
| flaccid | lakis1982: sudo ./uninstall if you are in the pwd | 11:52 |
| lakis1982 | what is pwd? | 11:52 |
| flaccid | present working directory | 11:52 |
| lakis1982 | it says could not find a usable uninstall programm | 11:53 |
| flaccid | ah well. this is the problem with 3rd party providers that don't have doco. where do you d/l this thing from? | 11:54 |
| lakis1982 | www.racer.nl | 11:55 |
| flaccid | lakis1982: and you didn't bother reading the documentation on their site? | 11:56 |
| lakis1982 | no | 11:57 |
| Dr_willis | Its using the loki installer according to their site. | 11:58 |
| Dr_willis | neat looking little game.. i may try it later. | 11:59 |
| Dr_willis | Looks like one can just delete the racer directory. and its uninstalled. :) how old-skool | 11:59 |
| flaccid | yes but the question is about files outside of that directory it could of installed | 12:00 |
| Dr_willis | Yep. the 'alternatve' install docs are basicially 'unzip here, run ./racer' im not on a linux box to test at this time however. | 12:01 |
| flaccid | someone should complain to them about lack of instructions to uninstall | 12:02 |
| Dr_willis | the windows versions just unzips to a single dir. - yea... i am driving a car... :) heh heh.. | 12:06 |
| Dr_willis | back to work | 12:06 |
| RurouniJones | possibly an unanswerable question but what is the general consensus as to which is better? Qemu or Virtualbox> | 12:09 |
| Dr_willis | I thought virtualbox was based on qemu. | 12:11 |
| Dr_willis | Virtualbox has a nice gui, and contrll tools. and so forth. I tend to use it a lot when testing livecds | 12:12 |

| binskipy2u | flaccid thanks for all your help, i found this awesome 'buntu speed tweak site.. i posted the site on the ubuntu forums,many said they used it, and it worked..so i did them all, and noticed a 10sec boot time difference.. | 12:28 |
| binskipy2u | http://www.salatti.net/tweak-ubuntu-for-speed/ | 12:28 |
| flaccid | cool, well sort of cool | 12:30 |
| flaccid | you would get faster boot time by cutting out unused services, but boot time is nearly irrelevant as performance is judged once you are booted | 12:31 |
| Dr_willis | 10 sec boot time gain. when one has several month+ Uptimes :) | 12:31 |
| binskipy2u | yeah but what the heck, just cant find an innitab file.. wher it says it should be in /etc | 12:31 |
| binskipy2u | i know ive seen that file in other distros in the etc folder | 12:31 |
| Pici | binskipy2u: Ubuntu doesn't use inittab, see /etc/rc.local and update-rc.d | 12:33 |
| Pici | !upstart | 12:33 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 12:33 |
| Dr_willis | ive never heard of that 'profile' tip that site mentions. | 12:34 |
| flaccid | people are never happy with out of box, they have to try to 'tweak' it | 12:35 |
| binskipy2u | its that what's linux all about.. tweaking and doing things under the hood | 12:35 |
| binskipy2u | so to speak.. configuring every lil thing... almost like braggin gentoo users | 12:36 |
| Pici | binskipy2u: That article is over a year old. | 12:36 |
| binskipy2u | still works | 12:36 |
| flaccid | no thats not what linux is about at all :) | 12:37 |
| Dr_willis | Pici, i noticed that also... | 12:37 |
| Dr_willis | the Concurrent booting - seems to have potential :) at least i now that i have new dualcore machines | 12:38 |
| binskipy2u | i just got my first 64bit and new computer in 6 years | 12:38 |
| flaccid | i don't get that part as SMP is supported in the generic kernel.. | 12:38 |
| binskipy2u | triple core 8450 amd.. i'm still impressed | 12:39 |
| Dr_willis | i was thinking that specific services could spawn to the background was what concurrent booting does.. but i will have to test it out later. | 12:39 |

| flaccid | JuJuBee: how did you go in disks & filesystems? | 13:36 |
| JuJuBee | System settings crashes when I try to run it. | 13:36 |
| flaccid | JuJuBee: is this kde3? | 13:37 |
| JuJuBee | Yes, but I have kde4 installed also | 13:37 |
| JuJuBee | I am using 3 for now | 13:37 |
| flaccid | JuJuBee: run it like this kdesudo /usr/bin/systemsettings and then see if it crashes when you click on it | 13:37 |
| JuJuBee | Crashes after I enter sudo password | 13:38 |

| ronr | btw, r1e is the asus r1e laptop | 13:48 |
| flaccid | JuJuBee: what is your mount | grep /media/disk ? | 13:49 |
| psycholic | did something change in kde 4 or the new kernel i'm having problems mounting one of my drives | 13:50 |
| JuJuBee | flaccid : blank, I manually mounted the volume on /media/400G | 13:50 |
| psycholic | it says i need to specify a os | 13:50 |
| psycholic | or filesystem | 13:50 |
| psycholic | that is in refence to say fat32/16 | 13:51 |
| JuJuBee | flaccid : however mount | grep /dev/sdb1 says /dev/sdb1 on /media/400G type ext3 (rw) | 13:52 |
| flaccid | thanks JuJuBee | 13:53 |
| JuJuBee | welcome | 13:53 |
| JuJuBee | It used to be FAT32 and I named the drive under windows as 400G and it used to mount that way. However, since I never use the drive with windows now I reformatted it ext3. | 13:54 |
| flaccid | JuJuBee: add the extra line to fstab then sudo umount /media/400G; sudo mount -a | 13:55 |

| ronr | how can I increase the volume in kubuntu? I got kmix set to the top and my application as well | 13:56 |

| engineer | oh | 14:55 |
| engineer | no i don't | 14:55 |
| thewhitepelican | there isa a procedure to follow prior to using wine, but I don't know what iti s | 14:56 |
| Dr_willis_ | there is? | 14:56 |
| Dr_willis_ | Ive never noticed a procedure.. other then installing wine. | 14:56 |
| thewhitepelican | as far as I remember from using another distro, yes | 14:56 |
| Dr_willis_ | the old winesetup tool isent really needed these days | 14:57 |
| thewhitepelican | I think you need to run a procedure to set up a /windows/* folder system | 14:57 |
| Daisuke_Ido | thewhitepelican: you haven't had to do that in a very long time | 14:57 |
| thewhitepelican | I just recall that in Gentoo, you had to do something | 14:57 |
| Dr_willis_ | in gentoo you have to do a lot of things.. | 14:58 |
| Dr_willis_ | the .wine directory is made for you when you furst run wine in ubuntu | 14:58 |
| engineer | touche | 14:59 |
| thewhitepelican | Daisuke_Ido, I had no idea | 15:00 |
| flaccid | !wine | thewhitepelican | 15:00 |
| ubottu | thewhitepelican: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 15:00 |
| thewhitepelican | so essentially, just install whatever programs you want? | 15:00 |
| flaccid | ie. run winecfg after installing wine | 15:00 |
| thewhitepelican | oh ok | 15:00 |
| flaccid | !appdb | thewhitepelican needs to compat first | 15:00 |

| flaccid | !subversion | Chrysalis | 15:23 |
| ubottu | Chrysalis: subversion is an open source application used for revision control. It is sometimes abbreviated to svn in reference to the name of its command line interface. Look here for a Subversion How To on Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion | 15:23 |

| kwtm | If we want to use Compiz in Kubuntu, do we install the package "compiz" (which is not installed by default)? Or do we only need to install "compiz-kde" (which *is* installed by default)? I can't seem to get any Compiz effects with the default config. | 15:24 |
| flaccid | Jabop: i recall more than once, perhaps it was in other channels too | 15:25 |
| flaccid | anyway this isn't going to find you someone to help you with your problem | 15:25 |
| Jabop | Right. I asked in Kubuntu and KDE, both logical areas of interest for this sort of question. | 15:25 |
| flaccid | !compiz | kwtm | 15:26 |
| ubottu | kwtm: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness from KMenu -> System -> Desktop Effects - further help in #compiz-fusion | 15:26 |
| Chrysalis | flaccid: i actually had the same problem as user1 and the problem was the the user dir was owned by root, not sure how it happened but remaking with adduser (i think) fixed it | 15:26 |
| Jabop | But thanks for your non help. | 15:26 |
| kkathman | how would I restart arts?? | 15:26 |
| flaccid | Chrysalis: thats a different scenario, but similar. you don't need to re adduser either, but rather just change ownership on ~/ | 15:27 |
| kkathman | for some reason, sound just quit. | 15:27 |
| flaccid | Jabop: my pleasure :) | 15:27 |
| flaccid | free support is free support. there are many times when somebody cannot help you. | 15:28 |
| Jabop | So next time I ask, I don't want you to chime in. | 15:28 |
| Chrysalis | flaccid: yea, tried that first but didnt work, apparently something went wrong the first time i made the user so i just remade | 15:28 |
| flaccid | Jabop: stop repeating and maybe i will stop 'chiming' | 15:28 |
| kwtm | flaccid: Thanks for the help. On a somewhat related note: I copied over several of my config files from my old Kubuntu installation (7.04), and now I no loinger have "Desktop Effects" on my system settings. Is there a particular config file (like .kde/share/config/ksystemsettingsrc or something) that I would modify (or restore) to bring back the Desktop Effects icon? | 15:28 |
| flaccid | Chrysalis: you probably didn't add the user correctly so it had a homedir or something | 15:28 |
| Jabop | I know that you don't know how to solve it, so I don't need to hear from you. | 15:28 |
| flaccid | Jabop: too bad. | 15:29 |
| flaccid | kwtm: not sure what you mean. where was this icon ? | 15:29 |

| bazhang | Jabop, what is the issue | 15:30 |
| Chrysalis | flaccid: home dir was there, it just couldnt read .Xauthority even though it had full permissions to do so, anyway, it works now :) | 15:30 |
| Jabop | bazhang: The issue is, I don't think there should be any carrying on about me asking a question in a help channel. | 15:30 |
| DrSilent | so drop it already | 15:30 |
| DrSilent | jeezus | 15:30 |
| kwtm | flaccid: You said "System Settings -> Desktop Effects" (which I saw before). But under System Settings, I no longer have the Desktop Effects, just ... you know, Printers, Accessibility, Network, etc. | 15:30 |
| flaccid | Chrysalis: oh thats a different situation. that file would have a lock on it from current session etc. anyway doesn't amtter | 15:30 |
| bazhang | Jabop, what was the kubuntu/ubuntu issue | 15:30 |
| Jabop | kvpnc failing auth after an X restart. | 15:31 |
| flaccid | kwtm: thats kde4 only | 15:31 |
| Chrysalis | flaccid: yes, 'couldnt get a lock' or something like that was the actual error i think | 15:31 |
| flaccid | Chrysalis: yep | 15:31 |
| bazhang | Jabop, how did you get it going? can you do so again? might this be a bug-->ie have you looked on launchpad | 15:31 |
| Jabop | bazhang: I can successfully connect to my vpn after a restart. It will work flawlessly up until X is restarted - then once logged back in, the auth fails. There are no other instances of kvpnc running. | 15:32 |
| flaccid | kde3 does not have desktop effects but you can try the experimental desktop-effects-kde pkg/binary | 15:33 |
| kwtm | flaccid: Oh. And, sorry, I said that "you said" but actually that was ubotu. Thanks anyway. | 15:33 |
| flaccid | np | 15:33 |
| bazhang | Jabop, right; what about the questions I just asked | 15:33 |
| Jabop | bazhang: I got it going by configuring the options properly. I ran the program. It works. If I need to connect again I have to completely restart. Yes. | 15:34 |
| flaccid | Jabop: also did you check the log on the vpn server. that should verify if its a wrong key etc. | 15:34 |
| Jabop | It is easily resolvable with a restart but I just dont think that is the best option. | 15:34 |
| bazhang | Jabop, it is a bug on launchpad then? if not you might wish to file one to make it better app | 15:34 |
| flaccid | !bugs | Jabop | 15:34 |
| ubottu | Jabop: 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 | 15:34 |
| Jabop | I suppose I could do so bazhang. flaccid - ms-chap fails auth, there isn't much info on the web about it, so I figured I'd ask here | 15:35 |
| bazhang | Jabop, when you say restart you mean restart the service or the computer | 15:35 |
| Jabop | The whole system | 15:35 |
| bazhang | oh | 15:35 |
| flaccid | i would start by submitting a bug with as much detail log the log entry as possible. if it keeps the config for the vpn connection and fails on a re-connect then that sounds like a bug to me | 15:36 |
| bazhang | Jabop, in future you may also consider asking in #ubuntu as there are a ton of helpers there as well. | 15:36 |
| Jabop | I figured I would get directed here as it is a KDE app | 15:37 |
| flaccid | doubt #ubuntu will won't to help with a k app | 15:37 |
| flaccid | and they never help me in there anyway heh | 15:37 |
| bazhang | Jabop, the underlying system is the same | 15:37 |
| bazhang | flaccid, because we know you :) | 15:37 |
| flaccid | yes bazhang but its a k application | 15:38 |
| bazhang | vpn is vpn though | 15:38 |
| flaccid | well every single time i've gone to #ubuntu and asked a question i never get a response and if i do its a waste of time | 15:38 |
| flaccid | yes but its being called from a k frontend | 15:38 |
| bazhang | the power of positive thinking :) | 15:38 |
| Jabop | What could be a bug in kubuntu may not be a bug in ubuntu :o | 15:39 |
| bazhang | never can tell :) | 15:39 |
| bazhang | plenty of kde users in there as well | 15:39 |
| flaccid | anyway point is submitting a bug report is going to help more than randomly asking here. i know this because not many people use kvpnc etc. | 15:40 |
| flaccid | bazhang: yeah but its not the right place to ask, here is | 15:40 |

| BluesKaj | flaccid, cuz it was working fine until I installed hardy, then it was intermittent , now it doesn't see the windows shares at all | 16:08 |
| flaccid | that doesn't mean anything. samba browsing/election is not simple. its dependant on all the clients and servers on the broadcast.. | 16:09 |

| azinheira | fuck all americans | 16:13 |
| flaccid | BluesKaj: yeah i heard you first time. you need to understand smb/nmb browsing/election ie. workgroup and local masters, os level etc.. | 16:14 |
| flaccid | you most likely have an incorrect config or another client is causing a problem in election/browsing | 16:15 |

| bazhang | Bonner, yes it will work, though some fiddling will be necessary | 16:39 |
| Bonner | Ahh good, I tried Ubuntu with this and was never able to get the wireless card to work, s i'm looking around at other Distros | 16:40 |

| Doryian | Something went wrong with FrostWire. | 17:38 |
| Doryian | Maybe you're using the wrong version of Java? | 17:38 |
| Doryian | (FrostWire is tested against and works best with with Sun's JRE, Java 1.4+) | 17:38 |
| Doryian | The version of Java in your PATH is: | 17:38 |
| Doryian | java version "1.6.0" | 17:38 |
| Doryian | OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b09) | 17:38 |
| Doryian | OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0-b09, mixed mode) | 17:38 |
| Doryian | now i must install 1.4 java if i want it to work | 17:39 |
| Doryian | cool | 17:39 |
| Doryian | and i have 1.6 | 17:39 |
| el-gokulo | Java 1.4+ means java 1.4 and greater. so also 1.6 | 17:40 |

| flaccid | np | 17:40 |
| gute | elgokulo | 17:40 |
| flaccid | Pepcok: google does wonders | 17:40 |
| Doryian | and what's wrong with frostwire on my machine? | 17:41 |
| Doryian | if it's not java, then ? | 17:41 |
| flaccid | Doryian: you havnt told us the actualy problem | 17:41 |
| Jucato | flaccid: he did | 17:42 |
| Jucato | scroll up a bit. I don't wanna multiline paste and get scolded :P | 17:42 |
| el-gokulo | did you tried the latest version from http://www.frostwire.com/?id=downloads | 17:42 |
| flaccid | i can read Jucato, did you know that? | 17:42 |
| gute | el-gokulo | 17:42 |
| flaccid | Jucato: is it frostwire that says 'Something went wrong with FrostWire" ? | 17:42 |
| gute | el-gokulo sos español ? | 17:43 |
| Doryian | yes 4give me , the problem is : i open the terminal(because i don't have a shortcut) and type frostwire and enter and the message ... | 17:43 |
| el-gokulo | nopes. german :) | 17:43 |
| gute | pero hablas no ? | 17:43 |
| el-gokulo | nu mui :) | 17:43 |
| el-gokulo | ;) | 17:43 |
| el-gokulo | no | 17:43 |
| Jucato | flaccid: maybe, or maybe not. but the 4 lines that follow are definitely from frostwire | 17:43 |
| Doryian | yes | 17:43 |
| Jucato | anyway, all yours. bed time | 17:44 |
| Doryian | Loading FrostWire: | 17:44 |
| Doryian | java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/motif21/libmawt.so | 17:44 |
| Doryian | so i reinstall java? | 17:44 |
| flaccid | Jucato: yeah well i didn't know that, which is why describing behaviour initially is important. | 17:45 |
| el-gokulo | Doryian, try sun java instead of openjava | 17:45 |
| el-gokulo | but version 1.6 should be ok | 17:46 |
| flaccid | Doryian: yeah sun java is probably what you need/want for frostwire. see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire also | 17:46 |
| Doryian | thanks | 17:47 |
| flaccid | Doryian: the above page has your problem and solution which is sun java | 17:47 |
| Doryian | ok i will find it in adept | 17:48 |
| slow-motion | hi | 17:48 |
| Doryian | hi | 17:48 |
| Doryian | i didnt have java installed... | 17:50 |

| BluesKaj | flaccid, strange when uninstalling samba-common, wine goes too | 18:12 |
| flaccid | BluesKaj: samba-common is the client etc. not the server thats why. you don't uninstall that | 18:13 |
| kkathman | BluesKaj: hmm that is rather odd. Perhaps a common library between the two? | 18:13 |
| BluesKaj | well, I was trying to generate a new smb.conf file | 18:14 |
| kkathman | flaccid: what is the smbclient then? Just curious? | 18:14 |
| flaccid | kkathman: smbclient ? | 18:15 |
| flaccid | BluesKaj: sudo apt-get purge samba && sudo apt-get install samba | 18:15 |
| kkathman | flaccid: samba-common has files used by both the client and server I believe, smbclient is the client aspect IIRC. | 18:16 |
| flaccid | kkathman: yes that is why it is called samba-common | 18:16 |
| BluesKaj | wow, lots of failed to fetch messages | 18:17 |
| kkathman | flaccid: there is also smbfs - it used to be mandatory back in the early days of *buntu, but not sure thats the case anymore unless you want to mount a samba volume? | 18:17 |
| flaccid | kkathman: yeah. cifs is better and used now, but smbfs can be used if you want | 18:20 |
| BluesKaj | ok flaccid , I have a new smb.conf | 18:20 |
| kkathman | flaccid: I always get confused on what shows up in smbtree also. It should show all workgroups and shares but there is something that triggers that | 18:20 |
| flaccid | depends on the lan's config of each smb server | 18:21 |
| flaccid | [01:54] <flaccid> BluesKaj: pastebin findsmb and smbtree please | 18:22 |
| BluesKaj | http://www.pastebin.ca/1064806 | 18:26 |
| lnx | how i can remove the pop icon near the cursor when i start some application ? | 18:27 |

| flaccid | which computer is den? | 18:30 |
| mil_ | hi how do you transfer your home directory to another partition? | 18:30 |
| BluesKaj | the linuxbox | 18:30 |
| DarthFrog | mil_: Carefully. | 18:31 |
| flaccid | BluesKaj: what else do you have the network that aint showing? which OS are they and which workgroup and subnet? | 18:31 |
| Jabop | DarthFrog: lol. | 18:31 |
| Jabop | Darth Chauncey? | 18:31 |
| mil_ | really dart? why? | 18:31 |
| Jabop | mil_: so you don't mess anything up. | 18:31 |
| DarthFrog | mil_: Cuz if you screw it up, your data is toast. | 18:31 |
| mil_ | yeah I can see that. hmmm might not want to take the risk then | 18:32 |
| DarthFrog | mil_: First make the new home directory, call it home_new. | 18:32 |
| mil_ | thanks for the warning | 18:32 |
| DarthFrog | Then "rsync -avv --progress /home/mil_/ /home_new/ | 18:32 |
| Jabop | why two v options DarthFrog | 18:33 |
| DarthFrog | mv /home/mil_ /home/mil_.saved | 18:33 |
| DarthFrog | Jabop: habit | 18:33 |
| DarthFrog | mv /home_new /home/mil_ | 18:33 |
| DarthFrog | if it's on a new partition, you'll have to also update /etc/fstab. | 18:33 |
| DarthFrog | Once you're sure things are working, you can delete /home/mil_saved. | 18:34 |
| BluesKaj | flaccid, dunno what the subnet is on the windows pc , the hostname is livingroom and computer name is margaret | 18:34 |
| mil_ | wow that looks tricky! Thanks so much Darth! | 18:35 |
| Jabop | mil_ it's a pretty simple concept, don't overanalyze it :P | 18:35 |
| mil_ | thanks both of you jabop and Darth | 18:37 |
| === administrator_ is now known as kazol | ||
| flaccid | BluesKaj: is the computer name pingable/resolvable? | 18:38 |
| DarthFrog | mil_: Actuall, I made a mistake. Instead of /home_new, use /home/new. :-) | 18:40 |
| === tburdick is now known as bfrog | ||
| mil_ | Got you Darth am noting it down. Thanks | 18:42 |
| BluesKaj | err hostname flaccid wife's pc : Workgroup = WORKGROUP, Full Computer Name = maragaret, PC Description = Livingroom. and no the pc isn't pingable cuz i can't see it in smb:/ | 18:43 |
| BluesKaj | oops = margaret , gawd she hates that :) | 18:44 |
| flaccid | BluesKaj: whether you can see it in smb:/ or not is irrelevant. can you ping it ? regardless you need to try an smbclient -NL //margaret and smbclient -NL //ipaddressOfMargaret | 18:45 |
| === TataYoyo is now known as ibou_ | ||
| flaccid | BluesKaj: you should make sure windows is configured to repond to icmp echo | 18:45 |

| BluesKaj | flaccid, smbclient -NL //margaret, Connection to margaret failed (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME) | 18:47 |
| flaccid | now do it with the IP | 18:47 |
| BluesKaj | flaccid, smbclient -NL //192.168.#.# Error connecting to 192.168.#.# (Connection refused), Connection to 192.168.#.#failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED) | 18:49 |
| flaccid | hehe, just like i said initially. check firewalls on the clients... | 18:49 |
| BluesKaj | of course that's not the IP that I used | 18:50 |
| flaccid | yeah but the port seems closed. you can verify this with a port scan | 18:50 |
| BluesKaj | WXP FW is not being used, the router has one | 18:50 |
| flaccid | your problem is with the windows machine and its smb server or the firewall | 18:51 |
| flaccid | BluesKaj: well the box is refusing smb connections atm | 18:51 |
| BluesKaj | could be the NOD32 at work then | 18:51 |
| flaccid | nod32? | 18:51 |
| BluesKaj | anti virus,I'll disable it for a few moments | 18:52 |
| flaccid | ok | 18:52 |
| flaccid | BluesKaj: and as a sidenote, you don't need samba server installed to browse smb :) | 18:56 |
| BluesKaj | flaccid, same message with antivirus and FW disabled | 18:56 |
| BluesKaj | flaccid,kkath and the another thing is, my router doesn't see the windows pc in the WORKGROUP Domain | 18:57 |
| flaccid | BluesKaj: well the problem is with this windows machine. you might also like to check if sharing is enabled on it. in windows its disabled by default | 18:58 |
| flaccid | BluesKaj: i wouldn't expect it to because of the problem! | 18:58 |
| BluesKaj | Sharing is turned on | 18:58 |
| njal | heei | 18:58 |
| flaccid | maybe you got infected, who knows. anyway off to ##windows it is for you :p | 18:59 |

| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 18:59 |
| njal | kubuntu is ze nice | 18:59 |
| flaccid | BluesKaj: run an nmap -v -A //ipaddressofMargaret and see which ports are open and closed | 18:59 |
| BluesKaj | Invalid character in host specification. Note in particular that square brackets [] are no longer allowed. They were redundant and can simply be removed. | 19:02 |
| flaccid | BluesKaj: oops i accidently put in the // .... | 19:03 |
| flaccid | nmap -v -A 1.2.3.4 | 19:03 |
| Agent_bob | heh i was just testing that command to see if the // worked :) | 19:04 |
| flaccid | hehe | 19:05 |
| flaccid | kkathman: see samba is not broken at all :) | 19:05 |
| BluesKaj | flaccid, seems to see the pc , post output on pastebin ? , but it doesn't show any open ports , just the tcp 135 and "1713 closed ports" | 19:07 |
| tim_ | hey does anyone know anything about sound cards? I have a Sound Blaster Live 5.1, ideally I'd like to make it output on both the front and reer jacks, so I can plug a microphone into it... | 19:08 |
| flaccid | yeah i'd like to see please. that confirms your problem but, only RPC open which is actually one that should be closed by a firewall. | 19:09 |
| flaccid | tim_: did you try playing with kmix ? | 19:09 |
| tim_ | yes, I have turned up all the 'channels', but hear nothing. idealy, I'd like normal sterio to both jacks... | 19:10 |
| tim_ | *hear nothing on rear, front is fine | 19:10 |
| flaccid | im not sure what you have to do to fade it to the rear as well sorry | 19:10 |
| Agent_bob | alsamixer mith have options | 19:11 |
| tim_ | I'll take a look | 19:11 |
| BluesKaj | flaccid, http://www.pastebin.ca/1064847 | 19:13 |
| flaccid | BluesKaj: yeah i'd be suspicious on that computer for sure, particularly because it didn't even respond to rpc correctly. i'd be doing a process analysis with security task manager or equivalent. at least you know the problem and its mr gates :o | 19:14 |
| BluesKaj | interesting , the scan doesn't see the TiVo either | 19:15 |
| Agent_bob | iptables -L ? | 19:15 |
| flaccid | tivo listens on a port? | 19:16 |
| flaccid | Agent_bob: windows box | 19:16 |
| BluesKaj | yup, it's on my network | 19:16 |
| flaccid | the -A scan may not include the tivo ports. BluesKaj install nmapfe for the frontend and use that to do further scanning | 19:17 |
| BluesKaj | ahh, now it does | 19:17 |
| flaccid | now it does? | 19:17 |
| Pici | nmapfe doesnt have any options that nmap doesnt have. | 19:17 |
| Agent_bob | flaccid yeah i just looked at the nmap out should have looked first. but still the same idea presists check the firewall | 19:17 |
| BluesKaj | yup it sees the 2 tivo ports | 19:17 |
| flaccid | BluesKaj: how, what did you change/do? | 19:18 |
| BluesKaj | just waited , the TiVo was prolly busy ...I DL stuff off the net with it | 19:19 |
| === keith is now known as compilerwriter | ||
| flaccid | fair enough. anyway you know what to do now, good luck. | 19:20 |

| jorgia | thank you jajabinker | 19:41 |
| === pam__ is now known as MilaDark | ||
| jorgia | i have installed 8.04 as a way to (hopefully) get away from Windows entirely...but as this is entirely new to me, there are a number of issues i need to resolve | 19:42 |
| jorgia | the first one i think being that i cannot access the NTFS external hard drive (USB) that i was using as backup | 19:43 |
| dwidmann | !ntfs | 19:43 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For NTFS write access, see /msg ubottu NTFS-3g or /msg ubottu FUSE | 19:43 |
| jajabinker | you have to mount that manually | 19:44 |
| jorgia | Kubuntu sees it, but when trying to access it, it says that it was not shut down properly from windows (i removed it instead of uninstalling it) | 19:44 |
| jorgia | i think there's some kind of read/write protection in place | 19:45 |
| dwidmann | You can fix that with ntfsfix (part of the ntfsprogs package) | 19:45 |
| dwidmann | Or so I've heard | 19:45 |
| jajabinker | do you know the name of the hard drive? | 19:46 |
| jajabinker | jorgia | 19:46 |
| nzk | What a weird problem. I rebooted and it seems that something happened with my home folder or something. Firefox's extensions aren't working even though they show up, my irssi config didn't run (luckily I had a backup but that doesn't work either) | 19:46 |
| jorgia | just a moment jajabinker | 19:47 |
| jorgia | it's a Western Digital MyBook | 19:48 |
| jajabinker | jorgia okay lol do you know the name as kubuntu sees it eg./dev/sda1 | 19:49 |
| jorgia | Dolphin calls it an "sdc1 | 19:50 |
| jorgia | sdc1 | 19:50 |
| jajabinker | did you try mounting it through commandline? | 19:51 |
| jorgia | haven't tried anything yet...was just now trying to copy the error message to post here but it doesn't copy | 19:51 |
| jorgia | says "mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use" becuase of an "unclean shutdown" | 19:52 |
| jajabinker | open your konsole and try "sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt" | 19:53 |
| dwidmann | "sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs" "sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdc1" | 19:53 |
| Agent_bob | nzk is it mounted ro ? and own your home | 19:53 |
| jorgia | hmmm...command window closed when i ran that | 19:55 |
| jajabinker | hmmmmmm | 19:56 |
| jajabinker | try what dwidmann is telling | 19:56 |
| jorgia | same thing happened with dwidmann's suggestion | 19:57 |
| jorgia | dolphin suggested (as choice 2) to type: | 19:58 |
| jorgia | "mount -t ntfs3g /dev/sdc1 /media/External -o force" | 19:59 |
| jorgia | sound okay? | 19:59 |
| jajabinker | ya try it | 19:59 |
| jajabinker | jorgia do you have partition editor or qtpqrted? | 20:00 |
| jorgia | i don't know really...i used a "how to" guide to get started and installed the packages that were suggested to "emulate" Windows (sorry) so i could migrate more quickly | 20:01 |
| semistud2354 | quick question...im trying to connect to my router via wpa...but it wont go past 28% | 20:01 |

| nzk | Hmm | 20:07 |
| Agent_bob | nzk you would be well advised to leave the "reboot will fix anything" M$ mentality with M$ to see if it's mounted readonly. open a terminal and issue the command "mount" to own your home. >>> sudo chown -R $USER:`groups | tr ' ' ':' | cut -d':' -f4` $HOME <<< | 20:07 |
| nzk | I can't do an upgrade because it says that the "user's Xauthorization file was unable to be copied" | 20:08 |

| Yidskki | oh wow, i really need some help here | 20:46 |
| Yidskki | i just fucked up mah kubuntu screen | 20:46 |
| Dr_willis | Agent_bob, i had windows once adjust my clock for DST every time i rebooted. :) ended up like 12 hrs off in 1 day. | 20:46 |
| Yidskki | its stuck at 800x600 | 20:46 |
| Yidskki | halp | 20:47 |
| el-gokulo | Agent_bob, bit annoying with windows on same pc | 20:47 |
| el-gokulo | ntp helps :) | 20:47 |
| Yidskki | c'mon, how do i change my screen size back? | 20:47 |
| Agent_bob | dr_willis no. i mean if linux runs the hardware clock doesn't keep acurate time. if nothing runs (computer off) or if M$ runs (dos or windows) the clock keeps accurate time. | 20:48 |
| ybit | Agent_bob: that confuses me :P | 20:48 |
| Agent_bob | el-gokulo doesn't help | 20:48 |
| Dr_willis | Agent_bob, so after an hr or 2 of running.. you mean to say the clock will be 1 hr 45 min.. ahead or so...? | 20:49 |

| liveoutloud2day | Yidskki: System Settings | Monitor & Display should do it unless you hosed the xorg settings completely. If so someone else will have to help you... | 20:49 |
| Dr_willis | Agent_bob, or more likely a few min, off for every hour of uptime? | 20:49 |
| Agent_bob | dr_willis exagerated but yes. | 20:49 |
| Agent_bob | <-- lagging right now. | 20:50 |
| Yidskki | yeah, i cant change the settings from there | 20:50 |
| sparr | ybit: unfortunately no :( | 20:50 |
| Yidskki | the bar wont move | 20:50 |
| Yidskki | stuck at 800x600 | 20:50 |
| Dr_willis | Agent_bob, my laptop had a similer issue.. it got fixed by some bios update. My clock would run at like 3x normal speed.. every sec.. 3 sec would tick by.. set screen saver to go off in 10 min.. it would go off in 3 | 20:50 |

| Agent_bob | few seconds/hour dr_willis | 20:50 |
| ybit | Agent_bob: i pasted the contents of the command, but i'm still kind of loss, not able to pinpoint what's using what (causing me to have no audio) | 20:50 |
| Dr_willis | a few secs.. Hmm.. thats interesting. Not severe. Ya could set ntp to update the clock every hr I guess.. | 20:51 |
| Agent_bob | dr_willis it's hard to believe that it's a bios issue on several boxen and that it only affects linux ... | 20:52 |
| Agent_bob | more like a linux bug | 20:52 |
| Dr_willis | Agent_bob, kernel timing can be tricky. I wonder if the RT kernels would have similer effect. | 20:52 |
| Dr_willis | Time to test out all the kernels! :) | 20:52 |
| Agent_bob | !sound | ybit check the troubleshooting page here | 20:52 |
| ubottu | ybit check the troubleshooting page here: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked.

| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_Bob: how do i a)check for which /dev/hda* is the ntsf partition on, b) how do i mount it c)mount it meaning that everytime i reboot it will be there and i will be able to open it regardless of which desktop environment i log in, gnome, kde, or xubuntu | 20:52 |
| Agent_bob | dr_willis but why does linux mess with rtc ? | 20:53 |
| Agent_bob | there is no reason for it to affect rtc at all | 20:54 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker a)fdisk -l b)edit /etc/fstab | 20:54 |
| ybit | thanks Agent_bob, hopefully i can figure it out. i don't want to restart my system | 20:54 |

| ybit | hmm... so the problem has been that the sound is only coming through my earphones | 21:02 |
| ybit | i can't seem to get it to come through the speakers (laptop) | 21:02 |
| ybit | i could restart and i know it would work | 21:02 |
| ybit | but i'm not wanting to do that since i have a temp java app running that needs to run until finished | 21:02 |

| ybit | got it | 21:03 |
| ybit | it was a combination of muting while my headset was plugged in and then unmuting when i unplug them | 21:03 |
| ybit | that sounds like a bug to me | 21:04 |
| ybit | thanks for the link Agent_bob, it has good info | 21:04 |
| Agent_bob | ybit sounds more like a hardware switch in the box to me | 21:04 |
| ybit | perhaps so | 21:05 |
| ybit | it's never had that problem before though | 21:05 |
| * Agent_bob was just remembering the 4mm sterio plugs that have the switch built on... | 21:06 | |
| Agent_bob | i guess CostaRicanQuaker couldn't wait whill i had a full pipe... | 21:09 |
| Agent_bob | oh well | 21:09 |
| Agent_bob | i have all of xubuntu-desktop installed execpt for mozilla-thunderbird and i have no desire to dl 10m package that i will never even look at... | 21:13 |

| pete-r | hi people! i've just installed kubuntu and i want to try skype | 21:42 |
| pete-r | i've downloaded the .deb package but how do i install it? | 21:42 |
| FoxIII | pete-r, To install .deb files, in CLI type: sudo dpkg -i <packagename> | 21:42 |
| rickest | pete-r: you shouldn't do it that. Run 'Adept Manager' and install the skype that's specifically built for your distro & version | 21:43 |
| pete-r | and how do i do the adept manager thing? | 21:43 |
| FoxIII | hmm. That's not being in kubuntu that is :( Thanks rickest :) | 21:43 |
| Dr_willis | i was thinking skype was on the medibuntu repos. | 21:44 |
| FoxIII | pete-r, system, adept manager | 21:44 |
| a_ | question: when i try to boot from the latest livecd, fairly late in the booting stage i get a kubuntu logo, an empty blue bar below it, and nothing else after that. why? | 21:44 |
| rickest | pete-r: I don't know the name in the menus, but... ah thanks FoxIII | 21:44 |
| FoxIII | a_, Did you wait a while? It can take a little time for it to get going. Other than that, have you checked the chksum to see if it burned okay? | 21:45 |
| a_ | i checked the chkksum. no, i didn't wait :p how long should i wait, do you think? it seemed like a while, but i get paranoid when something doesn't seem to be working, so it may have been a short while | 21:46 |
| pete-r | richest: shouldn't I add some repos or somthing? | 21:46 |
| FoxIII | hmm. Well I know when I installed a few days ago (yes I messed my system up! :P ) I think it took like 30 secs. | 21:47 |
| FoxIII | pete-r, Have you enabled the multiverse repositories? | 21:47 |
| a_ | thanks, FoxIII. i'll try to wait | 21:47 |
| pete-r | how do i do that? | 21:48 |
| FoxIII | In CLI, type: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 21:48 |
| FoxIII | Then use the arrow keys to scroll down and you will see two lines with 'multiverse' in them and a # in front of them. Remove these # and then press CTRL+X, press Y and press enter. | 21:49 |
| rickest | (it can also be done from Adept->Manage Repositories if you'd prefer not to have to use the cmdline and editor) | 21:51 |
| pete-r | i have checked the line with multiverse | 21:51 |
| pete-r | still i can't get skype | 21:51 |
| FoxIII | Have you updated pete-r ? You need to do that for kubuntu to get the new packages available. | 21:52 |
| FoxIII | in CLI: sudo apt-get update | 21:52 |
| Githzerai | pete-r: skype is is not in oficial ubuntu repo ;) | 21:52 |
| pete-r | and how do i find it's repo? | 21:52 |
| pete-r | i didn't get anything on www.skype.com | 21:52 |
| Githzerai | pete-r: google for medibuntu ;) | 21:53 |
| FoxIII | I can't see any major problems on pete-r using the deb he has. Am I wrong here? | 21:53 |
| Githzerai | pete-r: how exactly did u try to install that deb ? | 21:54 |
| pete-r | wel i didn't | 21:54 |
| pete-r | i don't know how | 21:54 |
| FoxIII | pete-r, you can use: sudo dpkg -i <nameofpackage> | 21:54 |
| Githzerai | pete-r: double slick on it or open with gdebi | 21:54 |
| Githzerai | *click | 21:54 |
| Githzerai | pete-r: gdebi i better way, as it resolves deps ;) | 21:55 |

| CostaRicanQuaker | bunch of...you know, so my problem is, i am not seeing the new files in the my stuff folder which is on my ntsf partition, why is this? it's still there and it still opens the files so it must mean that the partition is stillmounted however i dont see the new files | 22:01 |
| FoxIII | CostaRicanQuaker, What version have you upgraded from? | 22:01 |
| tester_ | Githzerai, what if its not listed? do i have to recompile stuff? | 22:02 |

| FoxIII | a_, You definitely have a 64bit machine? | 22:02 |
| FoxIII | CostaRicanQuaker, Have you done the normal apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade to see if it will resolve your issues? | 22:03 |
| a_ | FoxIII: i think so. it's an athlon 64 x2 | 22:03 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | nope? i wanted to upgrade from the terminal but someone told me to do it from the software manager or whatever you call it so i did that so it did everythign it said it had to do but it didn-t work apparently | 22:04 |
| FoxIII | Definitely 64bit then. Just checking. You'll be surprised... Anyhoo. hmm. Not sure then. | 22:04 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so what do i do? open terminal and type in those commands you just mentioned? | 22:04 |
| a_ | FoxIII: with the marketing these days, i wouldn't be surprised if it's called 64 but not actually 64 bit | 22:04 |

| FoxIII | CostaRicanQuaker, yes: sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade | 22:04 |
| Dr_willis | CostaRicanQuaker, if this is a new install, you may be much better off getting a Newer version/release cd then messing with upgrading all the way up. | 22:05 |

| ahmos | how i can fix my problem plz! | 22:08 |

| FoxIII | ahmos, yes I did. sorry. | 22:22 |
| patrick | thanks will do fox | 22:22 |
| ahmos | should i paste it again | 22:22 |
| FoxIII | tim_, well, there is a linux thing on the website, but I tried using it and ended up in a right mess with errors appearing left, right and centre! | 22:22 |
| Ange|us | Myrtti: this thing is new right? i never saw it happen with other kubuntu versions | 22:22 |
| Ange|us | :/ | 22:22 |
| FoxIII | ahmos, yeah, okay :) | 22:22 |
| tester_ | Can anyone tell me how to tell where apache2.2-common is installed on Ubuntu? is it /usr/share/apache2? | 22:23 |
| Myrtti | Ange|us: well, Dapper Drake had it since it was LTS like Hardy Heron is | 22:23 |
| Myrtti | LTS's usually get .1 too | 22:23 |
| ahmos | i have 2 sound devices marked as gray color and telling me that they r not available | 22:23 |
| ahmos | hda intel (alc883 analog) | 22:23 |
| FoxIII | ahmos, hmm. I'm not good with sound devices at all! Let me see what I can find out though. | 22:24 |
| ahmos | ok :) | 22:24 |
| tester_ | Would someone tell me how to tell where apache2.2-common is installed on Ubuntu? is it /usr/share/apache2? | 22:24 |
| coon | can anyone help me out getting my mic to work i got sound to work but not my mic i have a creative soundblaster audigy se | 22:25 |
| FoxIII | tester_, heard you the first time. I would say it sounds correct. | 22:25 |
| tim_ | FoxIII: I read a bit, looks like ndis is the way. just to check, "ndiswrapper -l" says its installed, and then you did "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" | 22:25 |
| coon | im a noob lol | 22:26 |
| Ange|us | Myrtti: but i heard hardy is not LTS ? :/ | 22:26 |
| coon | to linux anyway lol | 22:26 |
| Myrtti | Ange|us: it is? | 22:26 |
| tester_ | Foxlll, I also saw a /usr/lib/apache2 folder. i'm guessing thats not considered the installed folder though | 22:26 |
| Myrtti | tester_: "which apache2# | 22:27 |
| tester_ | Myrtti: apache2.2-common | 22:27 |
| FoxIII | tim_, yep. It said installed fine. Did the sudo modprobe ndiswrapper. It can see the wireless network and I can see it's a good signal, but I need to enter a password, but when I do, it either doesn't connect and asks me to check my settings or freezes my sys. | 22:27 |
| Myrtti | tester_: type "which apache2" in terminal | 22:27 |
| tester_ | Myrtti: /usr/sbin/apache2 | 22:28 |
| Myrtti | tester_: the result is the path to the executable | 22:28 |
| coon | can anyone see me on here? | 22:28 |
| tim_ | ok, well to simplify, if possible try turning off the encryption for a bit, just till we know the card is working | 22:28 |
| tester_ | Myrtti, i'm trying to do a ./configure with a --profile, and I'm not sure the correct path. so I'm trying to figure out what to tell it | 22:28 |
| FoxIII | coon, yes. Someone will help you in a bit :) | 22:28 |
| coon | ight thx | 22:29 |
| tester_ | Myrtti, er, with a --prefix | 22:29 |
| FoxIII | ahmos, in CLI type: sudo cat /proc/asound/pcm and pastebin the results. | 22:29 |
| === kaminix is now known as kaminix_ | ||
| tester_ | Myrtti, such as ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 | 22:29 |
| Myrtti | tester_: mmm, why are you trying to compile apache2 on your own? | 22:29 |
| FoxIII | tim_, I have no access to changing the encryption for the network as it's shared. | 22:29 |
| tim_ | is it wep or wpa? | 22:29 |
| tester_ | Myrtti, because aprutil does not have all the modules installed by default that I need in it | 22:30 |
| ikonia | tester_: which modules are missing | 22:30 |
| === kaminix_ is now known as kaminix | ||
| tester_ | ikonia: apr_dbd_mysql.so | 22:30 |
| ikonia | tester_: that should be there I believe | 22:30 |
| tester_ | ikonia, it is not : ( | 22:30 |
| FoxIII | tim_, it's wpa (I also have wpa_supplicant installeD) | 22:30 |
| Myrtti | myrtti@kani:~$ apt-file search apr_dbd_mysql.so | 22:31 |
| Myrtti | myrtti@kani:~$ | 22:31 |
| tester_ | ikonia, i'm following the instructions at http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=757353&highlight=apr_dbd_mysql.so to fix the problem | 22:31 |
| tim_ | Foxlll: I'v sometimes found that kde networking fights the command line networking tools | 22:31 |
| ikonia | tester_: that thread is the wrong way to go about this | 22:31 |
| tim_ | FoxIII: without a pc with wireless I'm afraid I cant be much help | 22:31 |
| ikonia | tester_: having 2 installs on your system in different locations is not wise | 22:32 |
| tester_ | ikonia, *phew* whats the right way? | 22:32 |
| ahmos | foxlll: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25799/ | 22:32 |
| FoxIII | tim_, really? hmm. I don't know about using the command line wireless tools. I'm learning the networking bit as I go along. lol | 22:32 |
| ikonia | tester_: well as each apache apr setup is in a seperate package it should be a reasonably straight forward process to either a.) make a bug request to have it updated/included b.) download the deb source yourself, update the one line --with-apr-util and submit it for a rebuild, in which case your package manager is %100 correct then | 22:33 |
| ahmos | Foxlll: did u see the link? http://paste.ubuntu.com/25799/ | 22:33 |
| FoxIII | ahmos, yes. Just seeing if it will help me. lol | 22:33 |
| tester_ | ikonia, I'm going to need to follow option b it sounds like. However, I didnt' quite follow your instructions there. you said update the one line. What did you mean by that? | 22:34 |
| ikonia | tester_: in the ubuntu source packages there are build options, which are in essense configure option, so you need to add that line to the build / configure options, then rebuild the package | 22:34 |
| tester_ | ikonia, where am I able to download that source at? | 22:35 |
| ikonia | tester_: if you join #motu you may find the apache package maintainer team members and they may help you/do it for you/etc | 22:35 |
| ikonia | tester_: ubuntu-motu sorry | 22:35 |
| ikonia | tester_: but they will require a bug/update request | 22:35 |
| tester_ | ikonia, thank you. i'll see if i can find it | 22:35 |
| FoxIII | ahmos, Have a look here and see if any of this is useful to you: http://uk.blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-kLgobDE_cqVv1JH8Yrs5u0AOygiyr1iiv0erhcaU_BKG?p=5 | 22:36 |
| ahmos | ok and thank's alot | 22:36 |
| ahmos | ;) | 22:36 |
| ikonia | tester_: your approach will pretty much break your package managers ability to control/update/manage any of your web based applications, that approach is prety flawed | 22:36 |
| FoxIII | ahmos, It may not help much, but it's the best I can come up with. | 22:37 |
| tester_ | ikonia, forgive me, your saying that if I do the option b (which you just listed), that I'll be causing myself problems? | 22:37 |
| ikonia | no | 22:37 |
| FoxIII | coon, you still here? | 22:37 |
| ikonia | I'm saying if you follow that forum post you'll cause yourself a lot of problems | 22:37 |
| tester_ | ikonia, ah the two different apache installs heh, yeah i didn't realzie that would do that, thank you for telling me | 22:38 |
| coon | yeah | 22:38 |
| ikonia | tester_: that forum post is a badly written post, and quite ill advised | 22:38 |
| tester_ | ikonia, lol. thanks for straightening me out. | 22:39 |
| FoxIII | coon, kewl :) Thanks for the patience. You are using a sound blaster, yes? | 22:39 |
| ikonia | tester_: not a problem, a word for the future don't look to fix things "now" look to fix things properly | 22:40 |
| coon | yeah audigy se | 22:40 |
| ikonia | tester_: I promise you it will save you time and effort in the medium/long term | 22:40 |
| tester_ | ikonia, It wasn't a matter of fixing it now vs properly to me, I'd been searching for hours trying to find the right solution | 22:40 |

| KNam | Hi, I'm new to Kubuntu (and KDE in general), and I was wondering if I could get some help? | 22:56 |
| Myrtti | ask and you shall receive | 22:57 |
| KNam | Thanks. First, how can I connect to wireless Internet? | 22:57 |
| KNam | I installed Kubuntu on my laptop, and it can't detect any wireless networks. | 22:57 |
| Dr_willis | got the wireless card working first? is the top question. | 22:59 |
| Dr_willis | !wireless | 22:59 |
| KNam | ? | 22:59 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 22:59 |
| Pici | !lag | 22:59 |
| ubottu | You have lag, I don't have lag | 22:59 |
| KNam | Wireless works on my Windows partition and worked on Ubuntu, but doesn't work on Kubuntu for some reason. | 23:01 |
| Dr_willis | well that it worked on Ubuntu is a VERY VERY good sign. | 23:02 |
| Dr_willis | Ya just got to figure out the wireless network tool interface... (and i dont use wireless much, so cant help much) | 23:02 |

| tester_ | ikonia, the folks in ubuntu-motu aren't responding. I downloaded the aprutil1 source package, and I found the file your refering to, but I'm not sure what changes to make, would you mind helping me? | 23:16 |
| ikonia | tester_: oooh, errr I guess I can take a look, I'm not far from bed though | 23:17 |
| tester_ | tester, wow its like 4 pm here, what time is it there? | 23:17 |
| tester_ | ikonia, lol, i wrote tester... i meant you heh | 23:18 |
| tester_ | You said to edit the --with-apr-util line. I was unable to find one of those. but i did find a --with-apr line. | 23:18 |
| tester_ | ikonia, and I'm not quite sure what i'm supposed to do to edit it. | 23:19 |
| tester_ | ikonia, ie what I'm supposed to add to the line | 23:19 |
| ikonia | tester_: I've not got a source deb at hand to view the files, but can you find the line that does the configure ? | 23:19 |
| tester_ | ikonia, yes i can | 23:19 |
| tester_ | ikonia, its two lines. similiar to wha tyou said | 23:20 |
| ikonia | tester_: ahh good, (again memory isn't great) add the configure line you need | 23:20 |
| ikonia | tester_: ahhh I knew I had info somewhere | 23:21 |

| tester_ | http://pastebin.com/m7e6f8551 | 23:21 |
| tester_ | ikonia, awesome i'm gonna look at it. i just posted the lines in that pastebin | 23:22 |
| ikonia | tester_: ahh | 23:22 |
| ikonia | tester_: that link should guide you through it, I've used it as a refresher many times | 23:22 |
| ikonia | it's good | 23:22 |
| tester_ | ikonia, i cna't thank you enough. i was getting frustrated with ubuntu on this one. | 23:22 |
| tester_ | ikonia, first i tried mod-auth-mysql, then i was told it was obsolete, so I tried authn_dbd... and then these problems, i've been at it for days | 23:23 |
| ikonia | tester_: keep with it | 23:24 |
| ikonia | tester_: first time you do things is always a pain/hard | 23:24 |
| tester_ | ikonia, i hear yah. our system admin is gone for good, and its fallen to me, a really junior programmer to figure out upgrading the server from apache 1.13 to 2.2+ | 23:24 |
| ikonia | tester_: thats not fun, I assure you. I can give you some notes on that if you want, I've done it a few times, just finished one with custom apache modules | 23:25 |
| tester_ | ikonia, I'm trying hard to just get it working in a dev status for testing everything, but trying to get the password protected stuff to work now that mod-auth-mysql is now no longer handled is killing me | 23:26 |
| tester_ | ikonia, its prompting for a username now though, so that was a huge improvement heh | 23:26 |
| ikonia | tester_: follow the guide, get help from motu, there are some motu guys in here too, and you'll be fine | 23:26 |
| tester_ | ikonia, thank you. | 23:27 |
| mkargar | I reinstall nvidia driver,but,since of restart system,kdm logen manager not runned and it return to commond line and showing this error:http://paste.ubuntu.com/25804/ | 23:31 |
| ImLiz | hello all, I'm having what I think is a major problem w/kubuntu on my desktop... when it started loading, the black screen showed up with "/var/log/message has multiple claimed blocks" | 23:32 |
| ImLiz | told me to run "fsck" in maintanance mode, which I think I did and at the end of it all this msg showed up "Segmentation violation at Oxb7f51060 Sleeping for 30 seconds" | 23:33 |
| Myrtti | nini everyone | 23:34 |
| ImLiz | do I have to reinstall kubuntu???? or is there a way to fix this???? | 23:34 |
| Dr_willis | I would boot a live cd and fsck the drive/partitions first ImLiz | 23:37 |
| Dr_willis | and take some sedatives.. :) | 23:37 |
| zabbadapp | what is the best vnc client? something must be better than krdc (kubuntu 8.04 kde3)? it crashes about once every 10 times i reconnect and it dies efter suspend or if the server is rebooted ... it should reconnect imho .. or atleast remember the last connection-ip so I don't have to hunt for it in the drop down every time | 23:37 |
| Dr_willis | it is sounding like some sort of possible memory issue. Not sure what else segmentation violation would mean. | 23:38 |
| ImLiz | Dr_willis: How would I run fsck on the drive/partitions??? | 23:38 |
| Dr_willis | zabbadapp, i tend to just use the 'vnc4server' and client. | 23:38 |
| Dr_willis | !fsck | 23:38 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 23:38 |
| Dr_willis | ImLiz, boot live cd. get to a root shell, fsck /dev/DEVICENAME | 23:38 |
| Dr_willis | i would also google for that last error message ya got to see what else may be wrong. | 23:39 |
| ImLiz | thx Dr_willis, sounds like it's going to be a long search lol | 23:40 |
| zabbadapp | Dr_willis: can it reconnect after suspend to ram? | 23:40 |
| claus | hallo, bin zum ersten mal im irc, kann mir wer mal kurz antworten....vielen dank! | 23:42 |
| Dr_willis | zabbadapp, i doubt if any vnc clients can do that. of course ya can just rerun the client and reconnect. | 23:45 |
