[00:02] there may be, but I never bother === pascalFR is now known as PascalFR [00:03] would anyone know why my glide wrappes just shows up as black?> [00:03] I am an old Debian user, the GUI varients just annoy me :) [00:03] hey i got kubuntu how i ccan update itto ubuntu whats the shortest way? And easiest [00:03] just install ubuntu-desktop [00:03] ok [00:04] there is really no difference under the hood between Kubuntu/Ubuntu/Xubuntu [00:04] you can in fact have them all installed at once [00:04] ubuntu is cooler [00:04] :D [00:04] Gustin, not really. [00:04] not IMO [00:04] the differances are just what part X uses for the desktop [00:04] well the boot manager will change to the last one [00:05] The LOGIN manager can be changed. [00:05] vipex, start, system, adept manager [00:05] grub is the boot manager. thats the same. The logo/screens can be changed also. [00:05] I have XFCE, GNOME, KDE, and KDE4 all installed here [00:05] I stand corrected, login manager [00:05] usually one of kdm, gdm xdm [00:05] i have adpt manager opened now [00:06] vipex fetch updates [00:06] I do find it best to use GDM if using gnome mainly, and kdm if using kde. [00:07] kdm works just fine for me, for all of the desktop managers I have installed [00:07] candive: what then? [00:07] help getting copmiz features working [00:07] it did tht in 1minute [00:07] is apply changes lit up?

I cannot see it in /media [00:10] ls -la /dev/disk/by-id [00:10] Gustin: is this a solution for me? [00:10] candive: U mean version update? [00:10] Maximilian212: it should tell you if the drive is detected [00:11] please can anyone help me get the effects working right [00:11] bobo: I turn them off, so no I can't help :) [00:12] vipex, yes it will update to the newest version if thats what you want or you can just update the existing distro [00:12] Maximilian212: in kde an umounted drive also shows up in konqueror with media:/ [00:13] Maximilian212: what file system does this drive have? [00:13] <_ricardo> it seems that work thanks [00:13] Gustin: ntfs [00:13] candive: öhh sofull upgrade or version upgrade [00:14] is there another channel that might be able to help me [00:14] Maximilian212: that probably explains why it is not auto mounted [00:14] vipexn in answer to the update question. "complete Upgrade" [00:14] Maximilian212: I added the following line to my /etc/fstab [00:15] Maximilian212: UUID=F4F44487F4444E54 /opt/windows ntfs-3g uid=gbjohnso,rw,user 0 0 [00:15] here isnt any button whats called complete upgrade:D [00:15] Maximilian212: of course you will have to get the UUID from /dev/disk/by-uuid and pick your own mount point [00:16] vipex, full upgrade [00:16] ok it was /dev/sdb1 [00:17] now I only need to add it to /etc/fstab [00:18] Maximilian212: I would use the uuid, this won't change, whereas if you add another drive, it might be sda [00:18] vipex, ? where are you, Country??

[00:37] faster [00:37] more reliable? [00:37] It was a joke that does not translate well [00:38] Ohh.. [00:38] I am only half joking :) [00:38] :D [00:39] I'm not, I have the linux penguin drinking windows sucks more. [00:39] yh i know linux is faster but windows vista is cooler [00:39] so when my laptop come's i should install linux? [00:40] vipex, your choice [00:40] what he said [00:40] and cooler? Not in my opinion [00:40] unless a 4GB windows folder is "cool" [00:41] and a 30% IO penalty [00:41] O_o im not understanding what u are speaking about Gustin:D [00:42] vipex, you can make linux distros act like and look like vista if that's what you want . it called Freedom of choice key word being Freedom [00:44] vipex, a lot of people find vista a big headache because it takes a LOT of memory to run = slow [00:44] hey i was running ufo 2.3 (latest trunk) in gdb and it crashed but now my x doesnt respond to my mouse === rewardmoney is now known as rewardmoneyA === rewardmoneyA is now known as UPYERKILT [00:47] candive, update ?

[01:05] candive , almost done 99% [01:05] :D [01:05] Agent_bob, I don't know [01:05] vipex, good [01:05] thx for u [01:06] vipex, its done? [01:06] candive thanks for the reply, [01:06] yh [01:06] preparing... [01:06] When I am trying to install something on Ubuntu, and it suggests the /usr/local/whatever folder. What path should i be using? [01:06] np [01:08] Is it wanting /usr/share/something? [01:08] tester_, from source.. /usr/local/whatever is a good idea [01:08] or /opt/ [01:09] vipex, occasionally you will notice a red ! top right monitor this is a tab you will need to click mouse on to install updates. [01:09] vipex, it will notify you of updates [01:09] tester_: It is necessary to be somewhere in your $PATH if u wan't to actually start it... [01:09] Dr_willis, thank you. I'm having trouble w/this install from source. are you at all familiar with aprutil1? [01:09] wtf? [01:10] *want [01:10] vipex, ? [01:10] !apache [01:10] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [01:10] tester_, never heard of it.. [01:10] tester_: code link ? [01:10] tester_, often you can give ./configure some optiuons as to where to install. Other then that.. it depends on the app you are compiling [01:11] Dr_willis, ah. thanks anyways : ) I'm trying to run .../apr-util-1.3.2$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apr-util --with-apr=/usr/local/apr/ --with-dbm=db43 --with-berkeley-db and its saying something is wrong with my --with-apr parameter [01:11] i push cANCEL? [01:12] vipex, no [01:12] tester_, i would think prefix would be /usr/local it will most likely use some subdir in /usr/local [01:12] tester_: --with= [01:13] tester_: libaprutil1 is in the repositories (don't know what aprutil is, but thought I'd point that out) [01:13] yuiry, thanks, i'm having to compile it with a module that got left out. [01:13] vipex, 1 minute [01:14] vipex, fetch updates [01:14] Dr_willis, i'm trying to follow the instructions at: http://www.techsww.com/tutorials/libraries/apr-util/installation/installing_apache_portable_runtime_utility_library_on_ubuntu_linux.php [01:15] is the proper stuff in /usr/local/apr/ allready? try compiling with out the --with-apr perhaps... and see where it wants it [01:15] Dr_willis, i downloaded the most current version as well, instead of the version suggested [01:15] vipex, back in 2 minutes [01:15] ITS PREPARING KDM [01:15] ETC [01:15] OK [01:15] Dr_willis, here is what it says: checking for APR... configure: error: the --with-apr parameter is incorrect. It must specify an install prefix, a build directory, or an apr-config file. [01:16] tester_, i would think prefix would be /usr/local [01:17] try ./configgure without all the extra options.. see if it likes that. perhaps. [01:17] Dr_willis, it is not having a problem with my prefix. it is having a problem with the --with-apr=/usr/local/apr [01:17] Dr_willis, and I need the --with-apr= to fix my problem [01:17] I got no idea then. No idea what apr even is in this case. [01:18] i wrote a tutorial on how to maintain an ubuntu system that mixes packages between distributions. hope it helps someone http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/96509133/m/301004223931 [01:18] aib_, that a scary thing to be writing about. :) [01:18] dr_willis, its for use with apache, with authentication of password protected pages. DBDriver mysql will select the MySQL driver in apr_dbd_mysql.so. [01:18] true that, but it works well :) [01:19] Dr_willis, apr_dbd_mysql.so is not in the aprutil1 package as it should be. [01:19] aib_ you probably don't want to try to get canonical to post that on the forums, [01:21] Agent_bob, i'm sure they don't want to provide support for it === alucardr1mero is now known as alucardromero [01:21] i guess its possible to mess up your system, but if you are just getting updated packages like firefox, subversion, bash etc... its no big deal [01:22] in fact, i don't think its very dangerous [01:22] aib_ no danger really not unless data loss is a big deal to you. [01:23] Dr_willis, I do it all the time, maybe I should'nt [01:23] mix distros that is [01:24] yeah we have actually been doing this for a couple of years, except we would just manually download the .deb from the newer distribution [01:24] this just removes a bunch of headaches [01:25] Agent_bob, if you have legitimate worries about data loss please post them in the thread, otherwise, don't scare people off:) [01:26] aib_ scare whom ? [01:27] candive , how i use now ubuntu? [01:27] i rebooted and it come again to kubuntu [01:28] vipex, explain more what you want. I am NOT mocking you I am attempting to make translations easier [01:28] öhh [01:28] i installed ubuntu-desktop [01:28] ok [01:29] and then restarted [01:29] good [01:29] but how i can choose ubuntu [01:29] vipex, who restarted tyhe computer or you? [01:29] me [01:30] vipex, you do not need to restart unless you are instructed by your computer [01:30] ohh [01:30] so i install again? [01:30] vipex, it should be selected by default [01:30] hi every1, I've booted to a live cd and run fsck on my windowsxp drive and it states that "There are differences etween boot sector and its backup. Differences: (offset:original/backup)? Is that normal??? [01:31] But it didnt? [01:31] It gives me options 1)copy original to backup 2)copy backup to original 3)no action [01:31] vipex, I believe you have updated, it will show "kubuntu" by default [01:32] yeah [01:32] but i want ubuntu desktop to use its cooler than kubntu [01:33] here, I posted it in the Ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=331 cya [01:33] vipex, when you start your computer next time hit top left key "Esc" it will show all. choose the top one. eventually it will start faster by default. [01:34] ok [01:34] reboot now--> [01:34] vipex, try to update again. start, system, Adept Manager [01:35] vipex, then "Fetch Updates" [01:35] Blink [01:39] candive don't you hate it when that happens [01:40] :) [01:40] Agent_bob, it was not that long ago that was me === root is now known as Guest7908 [01:41] root root [01:46] pfft the ubuntu forums get so abused. new thread " sudo echo >> /etc/modules " is a good example of bad advice [01:46] besides the fact that that question would have been better fielded in irc [01:47] Agent_bob, what is wrong with aib idea?? [01:47] aib ? [01:48] candive sorry i didn't follow you there? can you be more explicit [01:48] Agent_bob, aib was talking about mixing distros. What are the drawbacks, instability?? [01:48] oh that aib_ idea [01:48] yup [01:49] yeah well you will find packages compiled against different libc6 and even glibc versions [01:50] Agent_bob, would it cause os instability [01:50] most of the time that would just error out and refuse to run. but worst case senario one is poorly coded and actually runs. then makes a libc6 call that is misinterpreted .... [01:50] candive , not working [01:50] im on kubuntu [01:50] crap [01:50] oh thats ok [01:50] candive it most common issue caused is just broken package management. [01:51] I logged into kubuntu on my desktop using console login.... how do I get out of it??? [01:51] vipex, you are using kubuntu updated to the latest Ubuntu [01:51] candive ? oh thats ok <<< at whom ? [01:51] Agent_bob, ok [01:51] ?????? [01:51] huh [01:52] im using kubuntu updated to ubuntu? [01:52] Agent_bob, sorry baby crying. "oh thats ok" directed to vipex [01:52] ImLiz sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart [01:52] candive ah. [01:53] vipex, yes [01:54] Agent_bob: Thank you [01:54] cosmo: Did you get my pm? [01:54] candive , but i just installed ubuntu but why the pc run kubntu always when i reboot [01:54] how i run the ubntu? [01:54] >>> im using kubuntu updated to ubuntu?<<< the word "updated" seems so out of place there, even though i understand what he is trying to say. *ubuntu is ubuntu ;/ [01:55] vipex logout and log back in with the gnome session select it at login time. [01:55] fuck [01:55] Agent_bob, what am I missing with vipex? please [01:55] ------- [01:55] im loosing my mind! [01:55] cant [01:56] I CANT agent_bob [01:56] candive i'm hoping just a pebcak ? [01:56] vipex, Breathe [01:56] vipex cant what ? [01:56] can't log out ? [01:56] can't choose session ? [01:56] yeah [01:56] can't what ? [01:56] One question, how do I run fsck in maintenance mode??? [01:56] choose session [01:57] vipex at the login screen ? [01:57] y [01:57] or rather how do I get to maintenace mode so that I can run fsck?? [01:58] ImLiz if you need to fsck the root fs you have to remount it ro and when you are done with the fsck, reboot. anyother fs just umount it and add -f to the fsck command [01:58] ImLiz "maintenace mode" runlevel one ? [01:59] candive i'm expecting vipex to come back all happy he's in gnome now..... [01:59] Agent_bob, was that my fault did I give bad instructions?? [01:59] ok [02:00] candive no. [02:00] Agent_bob, good [02:00] like i said just a "pebcak" [02:00] pebcak?????????? [02:00] some say pebkac same thing [02:00] Agent_bob: I'm not sure if runlevel one... I was told to run fsck in maintenance mode after kubuntu PANIC [02:01] Agent_bob, what did I miss? [02:01] well runlevel one would be safest for that. but you do have to mount -o remount,ro / first. [02:02] candive nothing. are you paranoid ? [02:02] candive but he should be back about now.... [02:02] Agent_bob: sounds complicated I don't want to mess it up further lol [02:02] unless he rebooted in place of logging out... [02:03] Agent_bob, no I'm not imagining it :D [02:03] ImLiz three commands. [02:03] candive lol [02:05] "# mount -n -o remount, rw/" I was given that.... that's all one command then? === oscar_ is now known as chapi [02:06] ImLiz i'll spell them out. 1. sudo init 1 # this one takes you to runlevel one. root console. 2. mount -o remount,ro / # this one makes the root file system readonly so you don't break something. 3. fsck -f /dev/hda1 # you will have to substitute the exact inode where i put hda1, could be sda5 or what ever. then just three fingure salute it when it's done. [02:08] candive he must have rebooted... poor guy. [02:08] Oh Ohh [02:09] its a windows thing [02:09] yeah [02:09] "reboot will fix anything" M$ DOS 1o1 [02:09] even linux??? [02:10] lol [02:10] hehhe [02:10] how in the devil do you make a symlink? [02:10] Walzmyn ln -s /path/to/file linkname [02:10] thats for you Agent_bob [02:10] that ^ ? [02:11] Walzmyn man ln has more details [02:11] never mind darn dry humor [02:11] anyone know why the ubuntu hardy repositories haven't updated to the latest wine? [02:12] AxMstrL1 repos don't update to new versions. only backports will get new versions [02:12] !latest [02:12] A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. [02:12] I knew it!! [02:13] !worksforme [02:13] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ === chuckeff is now known as JonasLander [02:13] indeed. I'm not sure that wine 1.10 is better than 0.9x but I know there's been a lot of flux there. Just assuming it is.

[02:20] AxMstrL1: if you track the beta verions, the errors go away and new ones appear, just when you least expect it / havent saved. its way more fun [02:21] well, if we avoid it they'll never stabilize it, right? Gotta give back... [02:21] ... at least for a few days [02:22] if enough people use emacs will that make it an os ? [02:22] some would argue yes [02:22] heh some would, no doubt [02:23] but they'd clearly be barking up the wrong tree because vi is the one true editor.

In other words, is there a "Delete, and NOT move to Trash" option? [02:27] Hello i am using Xubuntu Gutsy and i just downloaded Kwrite. There is no spellchecking functionality for english. I even downloaded aspell but i have no idea how to integrate it? [02:27] minhaaj, one is probably for your wireless [02:27] how do i get any spellchecking to work? [02:28] hi guys [02:28] vipex, youre back [02:28] minhaaj: I think the consensus is "do you mean twice on the big login screen, or is it a popup when you can see the desktop" [02:28] i want to add a shortcut key for find in kubuntu [02:28] kwtm not that i know of. for that i would use web browser. assuming they support web mail [02:29] login screen [02:29] in 7.04 it was possible to find in regional & accessibility keyboard shortcuts [02:29] hasan khotkeys ? [02:29] but now i cant find it [02:29] hasan you can figure hotkeyes in keyboard shortcuts in system settings [02:29] or is that kde4 hasan ? [02:29] minhaaj: did you do anything that may have triggered this behaviur? [02:29] probably [02:30] it's kde4 [02:30] im a novice kubuntu user [02:30] i try to set a win like environment [02:30] !kde4 | because only the bot knows hasan [02:30] because only the bot knows hasan: KDE 4.0.5 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.5.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 [02:30] Agent_bob: Thanks for confirmation. Will try web interface. [02:30] ok [02:30] kwtm welcome [02:30] How do i spellcheck with kwrite? [02:30] but i cant find "Find" entry in command shortcuts tab [02:31] nope rhubarbe [02:31] candive, candive thx for u ubuntu works but kubuntu is nicer:) [02:32] minhaaj: there were some minor updates of Xorg about a week ago, could it have been that? [02:32] vipex, I know its cool [02:32] candive, it is?:D [02:32] Agent_bob: when I typed "sudo init 1" kubuntu froze when stopping all processes [02:32] minhaaj: also is there anything weird in your startx, init, or anything scripts that you have to do other stuff? [02:32] minhaaj: like that you might have added [02:33] vipex, I use kubuntu because I like it best [02:33] well it might be etc/pam.d/common-auth error [02:33] i am reading a forum post about it [02:33] candive , yh u r right:D And it much easier to use:P === donsdw is now known as donsdl [02:34] vipex, sorry my Canadian slang is causing misunderstandings [02:35] candive , thats okay i understand very well:) [02:35] fixed rhubarbe thanks for trying :) [02:35] had to add a couple of lines to pam/common-auth [02:35] vipex, I had the same response the first time I tried Ubuntu [02:35] candive , :D [02:36] now i have another problem. my ubuntu won't start with a clean session. it loads programs and firefox at start [02:36] maybe i have saved the last session settings [02:36] how do i get a clean session each time ? [02:36] candive, i think im going till to bed , time is here 4:36 am:D [02:36] C ya later [02:36] and thank you [02:37] vipex, It will take some time to get use to all Ubuntu distros. It took me approx 6 months using dual boot to switch completely [02:37] nite [02:37] nite [02:38] Hello everyone. When I change the desktop icon for Gimp and then restart my computer it changes the icon back to what it once was. Any ideas? [02:40] kde4? [02:40] Ertain? [02:40] No, it's in 3.5 [02:41] try again? [02:41] :( [02:43] night all [02:43] !all [02:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about all [02:43] funny [02:43] Figures. [02:43] !seen all [02:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about seen all [02:44] Ertain, is there a save option === Agent_bob is now known as all [02:44] is there a kubuntu live cd...and if so ca i get a link? [02:44] What do you mean, candive? [02:44] funnier [02:45] all is not on line but i can hijack his nick [02:45] Sure, here you go ds_null --> http://www.kubuntu.org/download.php [02:46] For some odd reason I change the desktop file to some other icon and when I reboot it uses the previous image. [02:46] Ertain, when you change the icon is there an apply or save [02:46] Yeah, I save it. [02:47] thanks eratain, i missed that part [02:47] Agent_bob, is foolin around again mom [02:48] * all will notice [02:48] Ertain, ask Agent_bob. I dont know [02:49] * all knows not [02:49] really? [02:49] really. i might venture a guess or two though [02:50] one. don't own the file cause you ran knoq with sudo and hosed perms .... solution "own your home" two some sort of vesta like bug has invaded kde.... O.o [02:51] ignore the second one... [02:51] !ownyourhome [02:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about ownyourhome [02:52] ssorel pinging all can be dangerous [02:52] I was just saying hi [02:52] Geez. [02:52] Jason MMS is that you? [02:54] Ertain you "could" open a konsole and run "konqueror " in it then use that konq window to change the icon and watch the konsole to see if anything errors at you. [02:54] all, you blinked [02:55] no i was typing... [02:55] his nick tab completed when i started but he left before i hit enter [02:55] * all types slow [02:55] all is good [02:56] all is well [02:56] all is out [02:57] the names in the right column are they all on irc now?

I've tried stopping my shorewall firewall and whatnot, forwarding the port on my router on top of DMZ, with no luck :/ can anyone assist me? [03:03] time for me to go, goodnight [03:03] I've never encoutered an issue such as this [03:03] ubuntulog say hello [03:03] thats not it.. [03:03] :P [03:04] poon i have used irc for several years but never setup a server sorry [03:05] well the server's setup, its just a port issue [03:05] iptables -L | grep 6667 === root is now known as Guest10715 [03:05] * poon tries [03:06] !irc server [03:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about irc server [03:06] but that will not reviel if it's accept or drop or log.... it will only show if it's specified [03:06] !freenode [03:06] freenode is the IRC network that you're on! See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml [03:07] there's a thought. asking an ircop to help you sort it out... [03:08] oh and one other thing. that will not be kde specific so you could ask in #ubuntu as swell [03:08] i'm looking for mod_write apache2 module. it does not appear to be in the repositiores. am i missing it? [03:08] chow [03:08] yeah i imagined that, but in #Ubuntu theres just so many people asking questions i was ignored [03:09] hrm, intelikey, its not returning anything [03:09] poon yeah patience is hard to keep in there. [03:10] lol how true [03:10] poon you could check with ##linux some network admins hang there a lot. [03:10] intelikey, how would I add a port with iptables?

That's the message I'm getting at the prompt after trying to restartX after installing some new ati graphics drivers ...already tried reconfiguring xserver-xorg [03:40] mr---t- basicly it does INFO="`apt-cache -n search "$@"`" then parses the var if it's empty it drops the -n and retries if there are matches it formats the output and dumps it in less for me [03:41] kaj: sudo rm /tmp/.X0-lock [03:41] kaj so rm the file [03:41] as per epimeth [03:42] aha rm, forgot about that ...must be getting late ..been a long and frustrating day === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] [03:48] One more question, Fryguy, in C/C++, one can make block comments like this, */ comment */, Can/How does one do the same in BASh?

[03:49] thankyou* [03:50] you could use the null command tho [03:50] command 1 ; : some comment ; command2 [03:50] hes gone [03:50] yeah. [03:50] that's now what he wanted anyway. [03:51] and it's not the safest thing to do. [03:51] you can change the null command [03:51] :(){ echo ; } [03:51] for example. === marcie is now known as athena18 [03:53] hi I back with another question. I have used KDE for close to two years, but only with synaptic package manager. I hate adept (i [03:54] I am sorry to say, I know the command is close to apt-get synaptic, but i dont have it quite right. [03:54] and it wont get through. Can anyone tell the the correct command please [03:55] my problem is when i use adept I tend to crash the machine due to conflicts within a few weeks [03:55] Is there an easy way to e-mail all the users on a system? [03:56] im looking for the apt-get command i need to add synaptic to my system [03:56] help please [03:56] sudo aptitude install synaptic [03:56] thank you [03:56] or apt-get if you prefer [03:57] "same differance" [03:57] i will try the apt get...i know it better but thanks. It does explain a lot [03:57] will it tell me when i need updates the same as if i used adept (in its own way of course) [03:57] looneytr good question. Mail may have a function for that idk. [03:58] athena18 the update notifier will tell you, and you can use synaptic to fetch/install them of course [03:58] Yeah a perl script will do but I figured someone has run into this before. Thanks anyway. I will check into mail [03:59] not mail Mail it's a command [03:59] sorry for the lack of punctuation---canadian billingual keyboard---a friend installed this particular system for me...but i dont know it---although i should learn it [03:59] using is learning in linux :) [04:00] Q. what do linux users do ? [04:00] A. why, they install software, of course! [04:00] intelikey: while it's slow what's it mean when you see someone log on to irc as root? [04:01] mr---t- in most/some cases means they are running the irc client as root [04:01] Not a good idea in the world of IRC [04:01] but in some cases (like mine) it means they have set the irc_user to root to hide their username [04:02] thank you.Synaptic is now loading. and (besides an older computer) this was the main problem I ran into [04:02] security by obscurity is only affective to a certain degree tho. [04:02] welcome [04:03] further question. I would like a firewall similar to how zone alarmn worked [04:03] (older computer) how old ? [04:03] in windows. [04:03] I know this is usually not needed but I deal with some sensitive information. [04:03] it was a top of the line in 2001 or 2002 [04:04] * intelikey doesn't do windows. so doesn't know zone alarm [04:04] athena18 oh that's not old. i thought you meant old [04:04] athena18 when we talk old computers we talk C64 genera [04:05] or 8086 [04:05] timex sinclair [04:05] I havent in years either. It told you whenever something went in or out on the net and you approved or didnt approve it. Not calling home and it kept track of how many things it had booted. It also had an immediate lock if you got concerned about something funny going on...which saved my bacon once [04:05] PDP-8 [04:05] mr---t- that too [04:05] those are firewalls [04:05] unfortunately guide dog just doesnt do it [04:06] well it was old enough that it was slow on Kubuntu [04:06] !firewall [04:06] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [04:06] and ran much better on simplyMepis [04:06] now i no longer need to worry about it [04:06] guarddog and firestarter are the only two I have seen [04:06] * intelikey ran a p1 with kubuntu on it... [04:07] i do not know enough to configure the IP tables myself and guarddog is not sufficient---if i want to be able to download any of my mail [04:07] got rid of it last year [04:07] i would never have had the patience---although i was running a p2 until it broke last year [04:07] * mr---t- a little slow on the keys [04:07] (i had gone through a succession of p2s) they became very hard to find on the market [04:08] there's a script quick-tables i think it is. might be maintained. [04:08] yeah but he doesn't use a gui [04:08] no gui---you are on command line only === rolf is now known as rolf_ === rolf_ is now known as rolf__ [04:09] that how he rolls [04:09] me ? yeah no GUI here most of the time.... although i do have kubuntu-desktop ubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop icewm fvwm blackbox fluxbox all installed [04:09] well no wonder you can run things on a pentium one! I can do some command line interface but i dont want to use it day by day [04:09] i used non gui when i was in university [04:10] athena18 i didn't say that' i said i ran kubuntu on the p1. [04:10] that implies kde too [04:11] ok i didnt learn IRC (it was something i missed) . OK i thought you were using KDE. How do i direct a comment at one person Q [04:11] it took a little tweeking from default of course it only had 64m ram and 610m hdd [04:11] well i tweeked windows 98 quite effectively for a while years ago. [04:11] tweeking windows 3.1 was easier [04:12] prepend their name and it will highlight them or /msg them but that's not welcome by all. [04:12] athena18 this highlights you. [04:12] this doesn't [04:13] Q prepend [04:13] put first [04:13] "I can do some command line interface but i dont want to use it day by day" <<< i'm that way with the pointy clicky thingy [04:13] ah ok intelikey i get it [04:14] although we may be on opposite sides in terms of day to day usage...or maybe not. Ive forgotten quite a lot of command line stuff i knew. I still have a book on UNIX that would work find that is based on command line [04:15] (intelikey) hello am i talking to you Q [04:15] yep [04:16] athena18: No, just the nick, no parentheses or brackets. [04:17] Fer instance, type "Darth" and hit tab. :-) [04:17] with out the quotes [04:17] Once the name is filled in, type your brilliancy. :-) [04:18] or type d and hit tab until darthfrog comes up and so on... [04:18] Oh yeah, as intelikey points out, no quotes either. [04:18] Hi!:) I'm new to Linux and Kubuntu. I would like to know how I can make a progrma autostart at system startup? [04:19] K350: This isn't really going to help you, but put it in the file /etc/rc.local. [04:19] rc.local is the Unix equivalent of autoexec.bat. [04:20] Aha, thank you very much for that information!:) [04:21] K350: Is this program a system-wide one or a personal one that you want executed as you login to KDE? the answers are different. [04:24] uh...it's Conky [04:24] Do you mean Konqueror? [04:24] No, Conky conky.sourceforge.net [04:25] If so, then put it in /home/K350/.kde/Autostart [04:25] it's a progrma that shows system information [04:25] Sorry, don't know conky. [04:25] Ah. Autostart, then. [04:26] aha..okay..I'll try... [04:27] good ol conky :o [04:28] I guess I've to make a shortcut then.... [04:28] Nope. [04:28] no? [04:29] Put a script that launches it in the Autostart directory. [04:29] err..should I move it form´/usr/bin to autostart? [04:29] i.e a "bat" file. :-) [04:29] NO!!!! [04:29] aaaah [04:29] okay a small bash scritp or something... [04:29] Exactly. [04:29] or uh..bash script right? [04:29] Correctomundo. [04:30] ooookay! [04:30] I'll try... [04:30] !autostart [04:30] 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 [04:30] Yeah, that works too. Much the same as a shortcut. :-) [04:31] Probably simpler, too. :-) [04:31] * DarthFrog rarely goes for the simple solution. Things should be challenging! [04:31] :-) [04:31] * DarthFrog is challenged everyday. [04:33] in kde4 there is an Autostart frontend in system settings which is nice. [04:34] There is? W00t! [04:34] yeah its in Advanced tab [04:34] Ok ... how does it fit together: KDE3, KDE4, plasma. What is which? [04:34] Does it automatically make the symlinks via drag 'n drop? [04:34] kde3 is kde3, kde4 is kde4 and plasma is part of kde4 [04:35] DarthFrog: Thanks a lot. it works great now!:) [04:35] Plasma is a re-think of the desktop idiom. [04:35] flaccid > So, is it possible to run KDE4 with something other than plasma? [04:35] K350: Yer welcom, bud. [04:35] DarthFrog: ... what does 'desktop idiom' mean? [04:35] tuxwulf: Probably not yet. [04:35] my Xserver is not good, the screen looks like the horizontal ctrl is out of range..like on the old analog tvs fro the 60-70s [04:36] tuxwulf: did you ask this yesterday? the answer is no, but you don't have to run plasma. you could kill it and just run kicker or something so in theory its kind of a yes [04:36] tuxwulf: As OS/2, Win95 _ad nauseum_, Mac OS and KDE3 do it. [04:36] DarthFrog: no drag/drop but 'add program' button [04:37] flaccid > no, I did not ask this yesterday, but yesterday I did discuss something else, raising these questions [04:37] That works. Drag 'n drop might be more elegant|intuitive|familiar. :-) [04:37] tuxwulf: yeah sounded familiar... you ask it a little bit different but yeah thats the situation. its flexible enough [04:37] DarthFrog: you could raise a feature request [04:38] flaccid: AFAIK, there is no kicker in KDE4. He'd have to run the KDE3 kicker. [04:38] guess the ati proprietary driver was a mistake but I couldn't remember which driver was being used as the 'default restricted' [04:38] DarthFrog: correct [04:38] flaccid: I don't care enough. :-) It was just an idle thought. [04:38] flaccid > Please allow the simpleton that is me to check the following against your expertise: Plasma runs on KDE, KDE runs on X, X runs on linux. Would that be a correct statement? [04:38] kaj all "restricted" are proprietary [04:38] DarthFrog: No kicker, but plasma-panel is there ;) [04:39] tuxwulf: Corrrect. [04:39] tuxwulf: pretty much. in essence plasma is just another application [04:39] there is a few more layers there but you got the ordering correct [04:39] Whooopeee! Thanks! [04:39] Githzerai: I'm not yet in love with plasma-panel yet. It isn't as configurable as I liked in kicker. :-) [04:40] DarthFrog that "might" come with time... [04:41] well intelikey the latest and greatest upgrade did in my happy little setup ...now i have no screen, samba or google earth ...the kubuntu dev guys ought to be more careful before trey this crap out on us trusting souls [04:41] tuxwulf: Linux runs the hardware. X is the graphical presentation system. KDE is the operating environment (or desktop, if you prefer) that make X usable. Plasma is a way of interacting with KDE. [04:41] can you use things like [ some test ] in case loops as identifiers ) ? [04:41] KDE4, that is. [04:41] kaj: welcome to free software :) perhaps we can help to fix [04:41] intelikey: Well, it has to let me re-order the icons, resize the panel, at a start. :-) [04:42] i.e. let me get it back to the way I had kicker. [04:42] and Plasmids are those weird powerups in BioShock. :) [04:42] Dr_willis: :) [04:42] DarthFrog heh. maybe that feature will come in time. [04:42] One can only hope. [04:42] ANd aparently - the KDe guys coudent come up with a better name. :) [04:42] and rant [04:42] one can do that too [04:43] <-- proficient [04:43] Ranting is a RIGHT! :) [04:43] Plasmoids. :-) [04:43] flaccid: I'm on irssi cuz i have no working X , the ati driver that I installed is the wrong one (altho it was recomended on the site for my card) [04:43] Hey, if you've got nothing to complain about, you can't be happy. [04:43] * Dr_willis pumps some ADAM into his Desktop for enhanced Plasmids. [04:44] Plasmids are the DNA fragments that bacteria interchange as a substitute for sex. :-) [04:44] Oh to be a Bacteria! [04:44] DarthFrog says who ? i'll streighten that guy out. just who is he? i'll show him.... [04:45] Hello Everybody [04:45] DarthFrog: Understood -- about the plasma to linux explanation, that is, not the sex thing you mentioned just now... [04:45] Which is the lenguage do you speak? [04:45] Ah ok.... English [04:45] intelikey: :-) [04:45] !english [04:45] The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [04:45] * kaj wonders why canonical decided to forgo the the vesa driver oprion in the xserver-xorg config [04:45] err option [04:45] in hardy [04:46] Hardy? [04:46] wow... are u talking about sex? [04:46] kaj idk install xserver-xorg-driver-vesa and try it [04:46] markos_, plasma/plasmids/plasmoids. :) [04:46] markos_: Hardly [04:46] :-) [04:46] just bacterial sex [04:47] So now we have to install anti-bacteria programs? [04:47] how can i just go into #kubuntu-es [04:47] please [04:47] Bacteria don't have sex. Which is why I kinda doubt Dr_willis's comment. [04:47] conjagation ? [04:47] Like anti-virus on Win, we have bacteria in linux..? [04:47] * mr---t- has a rubber coated keyboard [04:47] i repeat, How can i go into #kubuntu-es? [04:47] i don't know to use that program yet [04:47] !es [04:47] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [04:47] markos_ /join blah [04:47] markos: type "/join #kubuntu-es" [04:47] ah ok [04:47] thank u [04:47] kaj: that was debian [04:48] thank u so much, i am in, already [04:48] Said the bishop to the actress. [04:48] kaj: do you need help fixing something? [04:49] knight to queens rook four [04:49] Ewwe, descriptive! Algebraic, please. [04:50] If anyone cares, according to Slashdot, Hans Reiser has led authorities to the grave. [04:50] so anyone know if tests can be done in case identifiers ? [some test]) [04:51] who what? [04:51] mr---t-: If that made no sense to you, you don't care. :-) [04:52] must be in a different part of the world than here [04:52] guess not. i'll test to see (pun intentional) ;/ [04:53] Where is here? Hans Reiser was a Linux file system developer. [04:53] intelikey: looking for oprenad destination file [04:53] mr---t- think rieserfs to catch up with DarthFrog [04:54] not exactly but close enough. [04:54] research? [04:54] it looks like i'll have to double loop it anyway [04:54] anyway, tired now ..sacktime [04:55] goodnight, sweet prince. [04:58] maybe an extended if statement would be better in this case than case [05:03] !ot [05:03] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [05:03] heh [05:03] Is it somehow possible to skip the login prompt/window so that I cna login directly witotu enterign username and password? [05:03] DarthFrog: that happened on the left coast and I don't follow any thing but local news [05:04] K350: Yes. [05:04] why the Krap is dirs is a shell builtin ? [05:05] K350: Explore "System Settings" [05:05] K350: login manager in system settings [05:05] this channel is kubuntu support, idle discussion in #kubuntu-offtopic [05:05] login mng in sys settings okay I got it ..thaNKS A LOT!:) [05:06] np [05:06] left coast heh. [05:07] K350 did you find the "gui" way to get there ? [05:07] intelikey: I'm in British Columbia. Here we call it the Wet Coast. :-) [05:08] gold coast :) [05:08] i may like the left coast as a discriptor better though [05:09] does kde still write in /root ? [05:10] or have they fixed that yet ? === kasuyi is now known as kasuyi_ [05:11] ive never noticed it doing writing in /root [05:13] rm /root -r and restart it :) [05:13] Why would that be a problem? [05:14] I keep my porn in /root :) where it belongs.. [05:14] cause /root is root's default home. user space apps should not be accessing it. [05:14] but beyond that, even if you move root out of /root it still uses /root "and if" [05:14] but does it write in it, other than recreate it after you've removed it? [05:15] though no one would dare... you login to kde as root then it stores all roots settings in /root reguardless of where root lives. [05:15] imo that's wac [05:15] I may be confused but you seem to be battling your way upstream against the Unix way stream. [05:15] apps will access /root when apps run under root mode [05:16] DarthFrog gdm doesn't do that why does kdm ? [05:16] flaccid they shouldn't if root doesn't live there. [05:16] only kde is hard coded to use /root gnome isn't [05:16] blackbox isn't [05:17] fluxbox isn't [05:17] need i go on.... ? [05:17] But, but ... /root is the Unix way. :-) [05:17] DarthFrog linux is not unix [05:17] Just as /home is the user data directory. [05:17] hey channel, anyone ever see black smoke coming out of a cpu/heatsink combo before? [05:17] DarthFrog not my users [05:18] dennister, only when i spilt the soda in the case [05:18] heheh...i knew about cpus overheating, but i'd never seen it before [05:18] intelikey: um, example krusader root mode... [05:18] intelikey: Linux is a pretty damn good Unix. [05:18] thus why the style looks different as it uses root's profile [05:18] flaccid you missed the point. [05:18] dennister: That's the magic smoke. If you let it out, the hardware doesn't work any more. [05:19] move root. let root live in say /new_dir and it still uses /root not /new_dir [05:19] intelikey: So what? [05:19] DarthFrog so that is M$ mentality. [05:20] intelikey: what is your point? [05:20] If you're that fussed, "sudo chmod 700 /root. [05:20] DarthFrog just do it the way we say. you don't need to control your computer let the programers do it for you... it "just works" [05:20] /me thinks this ranting is getting dull. [05:21] yeah well user homes are readable by other users by default so a 700 can be handy [05:21] DarthFrog perms make no diff and besides i keep root's home chmod'd 0000 [05:21] now i'm trying to find out why...background: ms-6309 mobo, p3-733 MHz cpu, when turned the power would shut off almost immediately, so I cleaned heatsink/fan, put some more thermal grease on cpu, and it would still shut down [05:22] dennister, a few years back - there was a bunch of counterfit capaciters being sold and put on motherboards. Or it could just be old age. :) [05:22] so i thought: power supply, replaced it with my very good Enermax EG301P (more pwoer than needed, but tested working beautifully on more demanding systems), turned it on, and it stayed on all right, with black smoke [05:23] dr_willis dull indeed. i only asked if they had fixed/changed it in the hardy release [05:23] intelikey: Have you filed a bug report? It may be a "feature". [05:23] yep - dull. [05:23] Dr_willis: yes, I heard of that, but the more powerful ps wouldn't have caused it to overheat, would it? [05:24] dennister: No. [05:24] dennister, Hmm... No idea.. could be it was the final straw. [05:24] didn't think so...k, that's been eliminated as cause [05:24] could be all the twiddling around with it made somthing else finally die. [05:24] flaccid my point. that kde and kdm in particular are hard coded to write in /root reguardless of where root actually lives. or who logs in. [05:24] DarthFrog the kde crew don't consider it a bug, they did it on purpose. [05:24] dennister: A more powerful ps would be _capable_ of delivering more power, if the circuitry needed it. If you have a short circuit, well all bets are off. [05:25] DarthFrog: ok, short circuit from what? [05:25] on the mobo? [05:25] intelikey: Then it's unlikely that behaviour will be changed. [05:25] dennister cable ribon upside down on a drive [05:26] given how complex these mb's are these days.. im amazed that any of them work. :) [05:26] * DarthFrog is with Dr_willis on that! [05:26] I think ive seen some that are 6+ layers.. proberly more then that now a days. [05:26] What with capacitive coupling and quantum tunnelling and all that. :-) [05:26] DarthFrog one can only hope that they at least make it dynamic rather than hard coded [05:27] intelikey: well that's not the case...unless i've forgotten how to do a floppy drive, lol [05:27] intelikey: File a feature request and make your arument. [05:27] argument. [05:27] dennister floppy cable is the first place i'd look [05:27] unplug it and test [05:28] When was the last time any of us used a floppy? I've not done so in years. [05:28] today [05:28] CD-R has replaced floppies. [05:28] Floppy disks make great coasters. [05:28] and Cheap Ninja Throwing stars! :) [05:28] cdr can't replace floppy, you can't rewrite a cdr [05:28] intelikey: Really? No wonder you're fussed about /root. (grinning, ducking and running) [05:29] DarthFrog yes really. [05:29] whats going on peoples [05:29] all my boxen have fd0 and some fd1 5.25's [05:29] bobo d'nada [05:29] Oh my. 5.25" floppies. Now that's ancient. [05:30] intelikey: floppy cable check...it's fine & properly attached [05:30] dennister ok you looked at cd/dvd hd cables too ? [05:30] so that leaves the mobo or the cpu/heatsink connection [05:30] i use an old tape drive but no floppies [05:30] * DarthFrog had a single-sided 5.25" 180K floppy disk back in the day. It held my Ph.D. thesis. I thought I'd never be able to fill a 180K disk. :-) [05:30] intelikey: just hd cable so far...already checked those...ok [05:31] * Dr_willis thinks DarthFrog is older then dirt. [05:31] dennister: Disconnect everything and try again. === benjamin_ is now known as gwaar [05:31] Dr_willis: well, I never rode a dinosaur. But my father did. :-) [05:32] Is your Social Security # in Roman Numerals? [05:32] :) [05:32] dennister a dead card plugged into a board will cause short circute condition too we used to get all kinds of dead boxen that lightning had killed, pull the modem out and power it up .... [05:33] anyone know a picture viewer that has the controls of vista's viewer? scroll zooms and out, click to move the picture when zoomed, and views files in a directory? [05:33] DarthFrog: doesn't it have to be the cpu/heatsink connection or mobo? [05:33] intelikey: no modem or pci cards at all yet...just an ati vc [05:33] Dr_willis: I remember giving dictation to a scribe, who was chiselling heirogplypics into a clay tablet. He asked me, "Is virile spelled with one testicle or two?" [05:33] heiroglypHics [05:33] :-) [05:33] DarthFrog, now thats old.. :) [05:34] Dr_willis: they don't have ss numbers in canada do they? [05:34] That was some hard clay also... Better if they used cut reeds and wet clay. [05:34] dennister: Well, if you disconnect everything, you isolate it down to those components, no? [05:34] mr---t-, thy proberly got RFID tags embeded in everyones backsides. :) [05:34] lol [05:34] mr---t-: Yes, we do. [05:34] which [05:34] tony403 those features sound common enough. not sure what all can do that tho [05:35] well bye all... [05:35] rfid or numbers [05:35] gview ? [05:35] lets see kfax ? [05:35] DarthFrog: yes, i know, and everything was disconnected a few minuts ago for cleaning...i just didn't want to fire it up again (even without drives, etc. in case i got more smoke [05:35] intelikey, i've tried a few, one does one but not the other, kind of aggravating [05:36] dennister: I rather expect you'll be buying a new CPU/mobo/RAM in the next day or so. [05:36] tony403 hmmm if i was a gui user i might know... but alas. [05:36] Im out too nite all.....zzzz [05:37] DarthFrog: i've got tons of all those things at the moment already...i have about 15-20 systems here that have been donated and I refurbish [05:37] how do i share files with another kubuntu machine [05:37] bobo: Open Konqueror and enter "smb:/" as the URL. Do you see the other machine? [05:38] so i'm not panickiing or anything, i just like finding out why things happen so it doesn't happen again [05:38] bobo: easiest way would be to set up an ssh server and use the fish:// protocol [05:38] fish:// rocks! [05:38] ok [05:38] got it [05:39] and yes, isolating stuff is a big part of the "why"...you guys in here have seen so much I like to get other ideas/opinions [05:39] fish is legacy protocol now really, its a pseudo protocol anyway [05:40] flaccid: yeah but it works wonderfully. [05:40] bobo: so you can either do samba or ssh [05:40] DarthFrog: so does sftp :) [05:40] i got samba [05:40] flaccid: What is the replacement for fish:// [05:40] ? [05:40] it works [05:40] why use samba to share between linix machines... :) [05:40] sftp is seen to be preferred [05:40] Odd-rationale: Cuz it works better than NFS. [05:40] Odd-rationale: in case a windows machine comes a long i guess and yeah its better than nfs [05:41] i c, i don't think about having window machines come along... :P [05:41] flaccid: Is sftp a KIO? === nick_ is now known as mudge [05:42] nah its a real protocol for ssh. where is fish is implemented by kde only (plus about 2 other implementations).. its not on much besides kde [05:43] So the deprecation is because fish is KDE only? [05:44] well its not technically deprecated but ssh/sftp is more standard. only kde can do fish client (plus 2 other implementations) [05:44] i don't think ubunt users can fish with gnome [05:45] AFAIK, if the remote machine is running SSH, fish works. [05:45] Why should an ssh protocol care about anything graphical? === ben__ is now known as benklop [05:46] I *think* I've used fish to upload to a server in the past. use webdav now. === Githzerai is now known as |Githzerai| [05:46] im talking client side DarthFrog === |Githzerai| is now known as Githzerai [05:46] flaccid: Ah. So when in Gnome, do as Gnome does. :-) [05:47] or just sftp on every OS. you can use fish still of course, im sure it will continue to be supported and the kio slave is probably pretty damn stable. its a simple protocol anyway which is good [05:48] Not too mention the convenience. [05:48] why is it more convenient than sftp? [05:48] Which is the point. [05:48] Cuz it's a KIO-slave. Drag 'n drop in Konq. [05:49] what would you be dragging and dropping sorry? [05:50] Umm, open a split window in Konq. One is your home directory, the other is fish://, drag 'n drop between the two panes. [05:51] <[The_Oracle]> is there a utility I can use to set my NTFS hard drives to automount upon bootup ? Thanks [05:52] DarthFrog: thats the same as using sftp:/ in konq.. [05:52] [The_Oracle]: disks and filesystems in system settings [05:52] flaccid: So it is a KIO_slave? [05:52] [The_Oracle]: /etc/fstab [05:52] DarthFrog: probably is in kde's case yeah [05:52] before i was talking in general, not kde only [05:52] [The_Oracle]: Not a utility, but it's where automounting is done. === jabop2 is now known as Jabop [05:53] <[The_Oracle]> ok, so I can have a GUI if I log into gnome? Cool!! [05:53] yes gnome is a gui? [05:54] hmmm...fired it all up , with no connectors or cards...seemed fine...started connecting one by one (different vc this time; only change), still all fine...no smoke...took heatsink combo apart...zero signs of scorching or damage [05:55] flaccid: OK. A general solution does have its uses, agreed. But when a localised solution, such as KIO_slaves, work wonderfully when one is in that local environment, I'd rather use the superior local solution. Unless the general solution works equally as well in the local situation. [05:55] [The_Oracle]: This is the wrong place to ask about GNOME. Go to #ubuntu for that. [05:55] DarthFrog: give sftp a try in konq, its much the same behaviour [05:55] but it's not booting into bios [05:55] <[The_Oracle]> I was in KDE [05:57] flaccid: i finally did get samba to work with the xp home floppy, btw :-) and it does need the wins server enabled on the samba server [05:57] oops...not floppy, laptop [05:57] dennister: Not booting into BIOS? You have an ... unusual definition of fine. [05:57] dennister: nah you do not require wins but ok [05:58] flaccid: well I listened to you, and didn't enable it, but when I finally did enable wins server, it worked [05:59] dennister: Really? Well, we all know Windows networking is bizarre. [05:59] dennister: thats because you have no local dns server and normal nmb resolution was probably not working but could of been fixed [05:59] I prefer to keep my bizarre explanation. :-) [05:59] nmbd out of box does nmb broadcast for resolution without the need for a wins or dns server [06:00] DarthFrog: ordinarily I would suspect mobo is dead when i can't get into bios...and i still think this mobo might be, but I'm still cheerful [06:00] i run 1 local dns server and no wins server. so resolution here is done primarily with dns only [06:00] Is there a way to merge the contents of two folders with the same name in Kubuntu 8.04? [06:00] <[The_Oracle]> can we run Compiz under a VM? it never offers me nvidia drivers [06:00] dennister: i can't even remember your problem etc. heh [06:00] Dolphin pretty perpetually wants to overwrite. [06:00] dennister: Would you not get the same result from a fried CPU? [06:01] flaccid: nmbd? i usually use the dns servers in the routers, with the ISP's dns servers also mentioned [06:01] dunas: Rename one of the folders first. [06:01] dennister: yes. this is for resolution of LAN clients, not hosts on the internet... [06:01] LAN != WAN [06:02] DarthFrog: of course...u must think i'm totally stupid, lol...that's what i'll be determining next: cpu dead or mobo dead? [06:02] and that's a question i can determine with some normal swapping [06:02] ever since i got ff3 beta 4, my dictionary extension no longer works [06:02] dennister: No, I don't think you're stupid. I've had blinkers on myself. :-) [06:03] should it reside in the extensions folder? [06:03] hello every one i want to know how to change KDE to GNOME [06:03] !puregnome [06:03] If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> [06:03] as I said, i'm lucky i have so many other mobos and cpus here for this kind of testing...and that's a big part of what I do...test to see if the stuff works [06:03] dennister: I'd be careful about swapping. Putting a good CPU into a fried mobo is a good way to fry the CPU. [06:03] also, klipper no longer works either :/ [06:04] DarthFrog: that's why i'll be using possibly-dead cpus first :-) i have 3 here that didn't work with another mobo (but then I eneded up junking the mobo itself) [06:05] dennister: I'll leave things in your obviously capable hands. :-) [06:05] oh shoot...they're amd cpus...will risk 1 p3 then [06:06] i've got 6 [06:06] dennister: Well, if it were me, I'd put your CPU into a known good mobo, rather than the converse. [06:06] DarthFrog: That's not really helping, sadly. Sorry. The problem is, I'm trying to move a Materials folder from a downloaded file to my Counter-Strike Source file, so that the new files enter the Materials Folder but the new folder doesn't completely overwrite the old, and there's a lot of files to move. [06:07] Is there a list anywhere of super-compatible hardware? I want to build a new computer. [06:07] DarthFrog: good idea...will take ur advice [06:07] dunas: You're wanting to merge the contents of the files? [06:08] dunas: Or add the files to a directory? [06:08] !hardware [06:08] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [06:09] ubottu: Why thankyou, ubottu, you are so helpful! :D [06:09] purpleposeidon: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:09] DarthFrog: Merge the contents, yes. [06:09] scratch that...can't because it looks like all my p3 mobos are slot 1 style...don't have any other p3 mobos with the socket 370 [06:09] More intelligent then anybody else in here. >_> <_< o_o :P [06:09] dunas: Good luck. i know of no other way to do that than file by file manually. [06:09] Tho' I'm sure there are other solutions. [06:10] at least the slot 1 mobos were probably from before the bad-capacitor era, heheheh [06:10] dennister: I would suspect that slot 1 caps would be drying out by now. :-) [06:11] caps? they dry out? [06:11] dunas: "cat file1 file2 > file3" would work. [06:11] dennister: Yep. Takes a while, fortunately. [06:12] And depends upon the cap technology employed, of course. Paper caps don't dry out. [06:12] DarthFrog: Through the terminal, you mean? [06:12] i've got an asus p2 board here, with original cpu...still going strong [06:13] dunas: That's where the power is. Hehehehehe, (evil grin). [06:13] can you guys talk about hardware somewhere else im getting headache :o [06:13] so up until KDE4 kicker was started instead of plasma? [06:13] tuxwulf: pretty much [06:13] does this work http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d375a9abd ? [06:13] well thats how it is with kde3 [06:13] hehehe@flaccid [06:13] dennister: So do I. A testbed machine. Asus P2B-DS with dual slot-1 P3-700's. [06:14] DarthFrog: Still plenty of work for something Windows can do automatically, mind you. ;) I'll keep looking for a solution that's a little faster, just because it's a lot of files and even then that'd take a lot of time. [06:14] flaccid: But, but,... it's fun! :-) [06:14] i reacently was given an intel dual slot1 p3 server board :-) [06:15] i haven't tested it yet...but the donor knows her hardware...i think she must be a sys admin [06:15] guys this is chan is kubuntu support [06:15] dunas: Don't take my word as the be-all and end-all. I don't know of a solution but that doesn't mean there isn't a solution. [06:15] flaccid: ok, ok...L-) [06:16] Anyone have any idea how to fix this: [06:16] * DarthFrog tucks his tail between his legs and says, "I shut up now". [06:16] xvoutput: No XVIDEO port found which supports YUY2 images.

[06:33] I did the upgrade from 7.10 and SO much crap is broken now :-(. [06:33] K`zan > Perhaps in #tvtime ...? [06:33] K`zan: Don't use YUY2 images? [06:33] purpleposeidon: big macs and mcdonald's is almost as bad as proprietary computing [06:34] I think someone with a mac and a big mac in mcdonald's needs...... help [06:34] K`zan: u trying to get a tuner going? what kind? [06:34] Damnifiknow, worked just fine for well over a year and after the upgrade when I rebooted that along with usb filesystem and my camera quit working. [06:34] SAA7134? IIRC. [06:35] oh...camera...instead of tuner? [06:35] Leadtech 2000xp Expert [06:35] K`zan: google is good as well [06:35] dennister: No, TV CArd. [06:35] flaccid: google was quite flaccid on the matter, I always check that first :-). [06:35] ok...been awhile since i was fidding with my tuners and tvsoftware [06:36] K`zan: i think i got this card in my desktop let me test and also check google cool [06:36] K`zan: a lot of results here: http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=No+XVIDEO+port+found+which+supports+YUY2+images+tvtime&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 [06:36] certainly tvtime would not work with my hauppauge card...only thing that did was mythtv [06:36] Might be something in spanish or french, but I don't read those :-/. [06:37] because the hauppauge cards need ivtv drivers...not sure about your leadtech card [06:37] flaccid: Anything other than lots of people asking the same question with no answers? [06:37] dennister: I guess I am going to have to wipe/reinstall 7.10 - everything pretty much worked OK there. Sigh. [06:37] K`zan: i'll go through them. are you on gutsy or something? [06:38] K`zan: Back up your home directory first. [06:38] K`zan: b4 u do the wipe...are u sure you have right hardware drivers for the tuner? [06:38] As noted, before the upgrade it was doing wonderfully :-/. [06:38] this card doesn't need a driver for tvtime [06:39] lemme lsmod and see if perhaps the upgrade hosed that too. [06:39] K`zan: sorry [06:39] K`zan: are you on gutsy or hardy now? also can you show me the entries for the card in lscpi and also the dpkg -l | grep tvtime [06:39] i'll go back to my hardware rebuilding...later folks [06:40] flaccid: {/var/log} $ cat /etc/issue.net [06:40] Ubuntu 8.04.1 [06:41] 2:09.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 05) [06:41] {/var/log} $ dpkg -l | grep tvtime [06:41] ii tvtime 1.0.2-0.3ubuntu2 A high quality television application [06:41] K`zan: ok so need to look at lscpi entries, the package version from dpkg -l also if you can pastebin the whole output from running tvtime from konsole ..

Thanks for the help! [06:57] cool, looking now [06:58] K`zan: driver in use is only vesa, you want to go hardware drivers manager (kdesudo jockey-kde) and enable the restricted driver so you get overlay [06:58] just ensure the lscpi entry for the video card is not unknown first [07:03] flaccid: Ok, did it but have to restart - not sure what this portends but we'll try: [07:03] Not loading nvidia_new module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:03] WARNING: /sys/module/nvidia_new/drivers does not exist, cannot rebind nvidia_new driver [07:03] flaccid: Thanks VERY(!) much Sir!

[07:21] yeah K`zan i just got another coffee [07:21] K`zan: pretty simple in this case. reinstall the nvidia-glx-* and nvidia-kernel-common packages so they match your current kernel [07:22] then you should be rockin [07:35] flaccid: glx-new is installed, requested a reinstall, ditto with kernel-common.

[08:22] sbucatino: Thats my lspci|grep Audio I have a Gateway MT6711 and the volume issue was also there until I did the recompile of the driver. It needs doing after every kernel update, unfortunately [08:22] have you tried 1.0,17rc3? [08:23] sbucatino: 1 sec I'll see which I last compiled [08:24] sbucatino: 1.0.16 is what I currently am using, without problems [08:24] mm [08:24] i have 1.016 [08:24] but from installation [08:25] have you gutsy? [08:25] or hardy? [08:25] because you know my card works [08:25] is only a issue with recordmydeskopt [08:25] sbucatino: The issue is that the default settings compiled into the driver are to accomodate the widest range of hardware, but the intel cards need special flags upon comilation. [08:26] genii: ok [08:26] i am sorry but this issue is very important for me [08:26] so i have break your balls xD with my questions [08:26] sbucatino: Hardy is what I'm currently running.

[12:06] Hi [12:06] !ask | vipex [12:06] vipex: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [12:06] vipex: Also hello [12:07] ?? [12:08] Do u know Finnish irc channel link:D? [12:08] !fi [12:08] Suomenkielinen keskustelu (K)Ubuntusta kanavilla #ubuntu-fi ja #kubuntu-fi [12:08] Thx [12:08] vipex: you're welcome [12:11] what do I have to do to get mysql working with apache/php? [12:11] vipex: btw, sometimes regional channels are empty or full of away people, if you have a problem ad you know english, ask here your question [12:11] Walzmyn: maybe a LAMP server ? [12:12] !LAMP [12:12] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [12:12] Walzmyn: you can install [12:12] LAMP on a existing ubuntu or kubuntu too [12:12] goshawk, i've got apache and mysql installed on kubuntu 8.04 - but mysql is not playing nice [12:13] goshawk, the webpage says i need to tell php where mysql.so is, but I can't find that file on the harddrive [12:13] Walzmyn: there is a library to link php and mysql [12:13] wait [12:14] I just wanted to do a quick setup to test some thing s before it went live - didn't know it was going to be this big a PITA [12:14] install php5-mysql [12:14] * Walzmyn looks [12:14] sudo a2enmod php [12:15] now, why in the devil did that not install on it's own? I installed the whole thing by calling php and letting it pull apache in [12:16] Walzmyn: btw, if you will continue to have troubles you can remove all the things that you've installed and install the lamp-server package [12:16] it's a virtual package that sets a lamp server out of the box [12:16] Walzmyn: You need to swithc php module on : sudo a2enmod php5 [12:17] And restart apache [12:17] Githzerai, well, that woulda been nice to have found when I started this. [12:17] ALL-RIGHT, we are good to go, thank you much guys [12:17] Walzmyn: Had the same problem and frustration when I installed hardy ;) [12:18] :) i've ever installed lamp-server and it worked out of teh box [12:18] Githzerai, I'm thinking adept needs a filter to just show big meta packages, so you can check there first [12:19] Walzmyn: sudo taskselect [12:19] sudo tasksel , sorry [12:20] or better.. use aptitude instead of adept [12:20] :D [12:21] it has a easy meny for tasks [12:21] menu [12:22] Githzerai, what is tasksel? [12:22] Walzmyn: try it ;) [12:22] bleh, it's now saying it can't connect to mysql [12:23] Walzmyn: sudo a2enmod , it should give u list of availabe modules [12:23] Githzerai, oh, man, that tasksel is nice. how do you exit it? [12:24] Walzmyn: ctrl+x or ctrl+z or something.... :) [12:37] ok, I'm trying to instlal joomla - it's got a check page to begin with that now says mysql is availiable - but when you try to access the database it says it cannot connect iwth mysql [12:37] Walzmyn: goto #mysql and joomla support [12:38] hi all ^^. been having some issues with kubuntu 8.04 kde4 remix install. it doesnt copy initrd. would it be wise to just copy it from the cd? [12:39] flaccid thanks [12:40] jamfade: probably not as its an image based install [12:41] jamfade: have you checked the cd for errors? [12:42] yes, i have checked the cd for errors [12:42] Walzmyn: U need to create database first. Just checking ;) [12:42] ho-humm. odd. [12:42] any thoughts on what may be causing this or soemthing else i should check? [12:43] jamfade: are you able to check this on another machine? [12:43] jamfade: i.e. install kubuntu 8.04 kde4 remix from this cd on some other machine and check if it goes AOK [12:44] so far so good [12:44] could use a virtual machine [12:44] jamfade: yeah, that would do the trick [12:44] k, on it [12:45] jamfade: best you could do is: try to do it on a VM from the cd; then, try to do it from the ISO file [12:45] will do both [12:46] ok [12:46] hi [12:47] im a from finnish [12:48] im a installed ubuntu on today morning === donsdw_ is now known as donsdl [12:49] is there a search option for kghostview?

I've installed w32codecs via medibuntu but it still won't work in FF3. What do i need to install please? [12:52] tzd: can i have a test url please? [12:52] flaccid: http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/transsiberian/trailer1/ [12:53] thanks [12:53] no problem :) [12:53] tzd: you probably need mplayer-plugin [12:54] flaccid: ah thanks, will try with that... do i need to have mplayer installed? I mainly use kaffeine for most of my media files [12:54] !info mozilla-mplayer | tzd [12:54] tzd: mozilla-mplayer (source: mplayerplug-in): MPlayer-Plugin for Mozilla.

Will try that one first [12:57] i will try that too but its likely the codec [12:58] If quicktime, than small chance of succes... :( [12:58] kaffeine-mozilla! whoo-hoo! didn't know about that one! thanks, Githzerai [12:58] there's another thing I've been wondering about... I use the adept manager sometimes and for some packets there's a kubuntu symbol next to them... what does that mean please? [12:59] tzd: You would be the first one I know of that got them apple movies going on non win or mac [12:59] tzd: it means that they are KDE/Qt GUI apps [12:59] Just let me know when you work it out ;) [12:59] rysiek: i see, cheers! [12:59] That movie plays flawlessly on my 8.04 box here. [12:59] tictric: haha yeah i will if ever ;P [13:00] tzd: oh, wait, you mean the Kubuntu, not KDE logo? [13:00] genii: heck, how [13:00] ? [13:00] rysiek: yeah the blue round thingie to the left [13:00] nope the kaffeine-mozilla didn't do the apple trailer [13:01] tzd: the trailer works AOK here (kubuntu 8.04, FF3.0) [13:01] tzd: try installing kubuntu-restricted-extras [13:01] Interesting. snapshot preview shows still the movie playing in the box but the png file has a black field. [13:01] tzd: I think that icon means those packages are officially supported by Kubuntu team, but not 100% sure [13:02] tictric: Beats me. Maybe all the stuff I already installed to play my encrypted dvds [13:04] rysiek: the restricted packet didn't do it either... hmm this is strange [13:04] tzd: did you restart Ff? [13:04] rysiek: ah yeah that's what i've been thinking until now... the kubuntu symbol that is [13:04] rysiek: i did [13:05] hmm i can try in konqueror see if that might help [13:05] For whoever's interested here's a dump of all the installed packages on my box http://paste.ubuntu.com/25915/ [13:05] Hi, I've a problem with my iPod Classic, I use Amarok, and sometimes it detects the iPod, but the other times no :S [13:05] tzd: do that [13:07] * rysiek gtg [13:07] cu all [13:07] hi [13:07] oh.... hmm it did work with konqueror [13:07] i might just install mplayer and see if that might help in FF [13:07] i had a crash [13:08] Ow you discovered Linux... [13:09] haha i discovered it years ago :p [13:09] installing mplayer mozilla plugin did the trick. Cheers guys! :) [13:10] tzd: serious? i still get no video [13:11] flaccid: hmm yeah it worked fine... the thign I've installed was mplayer-mozilla plugin, kubuntu-restricted-extras and added the medibuntu rep. and then downloaded w32codecs [13:12] things* [13:12] i got all that [13:12] flaccid: and you've restarted FF as well?

It is available in !Universe on !Gutsy, !Backports on !Feisty, and from « deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tonyyarusso/ubuntu edgy universe » for Edgy.

[17:52] what's the command to fix this? :( [17:55] hmm... rc.local wont do the trick. i want my script to start when user logs in KDE [17:55] (to all users globally) [17:56] i tryed /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession, but that didn't help.... [17:57] that not what rc.local is for. [17:57] use the users Autostart directory [17:57] !autostart [17:57] 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 [17:58] dr_willis? so i have to put my script to every users AUTOSTART? i want to put it to one place where it will do same..... === Pici` is now known as Pici [17:59] mika__: read the doc :) [18:00] mika__, you could make a link.. what if a user decides to not use kde? [18:00] you could also edit the kde.desktop file that gets ran by kdm., and have it run some other script. then launch kde. [18:01] depends on exactly what you are trying to run. [18:01] * Jucato points to $KDEDIR/share/autostart though... [18:01] Never noticed that one Jucato [18:02] its not /share/Autostart? :) [18:02] Dr_willis_: mika__: read the doc :) so that goes for you as well :P [18:02] nope. there's a difference (other than just locations) [18:02] Phhhhhhhht. :) [18:02] Im not even using kde. :P [18:03] touché :) [18:03] (but then again, since you're in #kubuntu, knowing about KDE stuff would help a lot :P [18:03] ) [18:03] (seem to have dropped that closing parenthesis) [18:04] well actually it would be better if my script starts same time when people are logging in :) [18:04] because everybody aren't using kde :D haha... [18:05] isn't... [18:05] my english so perfect :D hahah [18:05] well then you'd have to find a more general (lower level) way to do that [18:05] rc.local is too low...ipcheck won't start there.... [18:06] hm.. logging in... not logging in graphically or even in a login shell? [18:07] this is the only clue I can see: http://docs.kde.org/kde3/en/kdebase/faq/configure.html#id2559604 [18:07] (which mentions Xsession, which you already tried..)

I imagine [19:24] only security holes ;-) [19:24] although KDE doesn't really have many security updates, does it? [19:25] Ubuntu tends to have only afew updates after release.. they just released the 8.4.1 images. that rolled all updates into the cd image I belive [19:25] The kubuntu 8.4.1 i imagine is out somewhere also. [19:25] I havent looked. :) [19:25] it is [19:26] link to kubuntu 8.04.1 is http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/hardy/ [19:27] the best thing is these images have tons of updates already applied, so no need to download heavy kernels or openoffices [19:28] yep [19:29] Ive been using that Mint Linux mainly on my machines the last few months..

[20:15] Dr_willis_: ISNT EXT3 GOOD FOR BIG THINGS? [20:15] ubuntu___, theres big files, vs lots of little files, vs lots of file access/creation. some fs's are a little better at some of these tasks then others. [20:15] When in doubt stick with ext3 [20:16] OK [20:17] -THANKS ALL. [20:17] ubuntu___ ext3 is the standard. Reiserfs is also good but i wouldn't rely on it...

[21:54] with diferent name [21:54] ok [21:54] does using lvm have any overhead? is it a CPU overhead or a disk access time over head or something else? [21:55] Rioting_pacifist not a lot [21:55] but yes [21:55] so if you see SPhcT thets me [21:55] bye [21:56] cpu which equates to disk access time too but not a lot. negledgable in most cases [21:57] are there any circumstances where it would be noticable to have a partition in lvm, compiling lots? filesevers running on it? i have no reason to use LVM tbh but figured if in the future i wish to add a hdd id have to setup LVM now right? === PascalFR is now known as pascalFR [21:59] why would you need to setup lvm at all to add another hdd ? [22:00] if i have a /home partition and it fills up, i thought id need lvm to be able to plug a 2nd harddrive in and have that drives space added to /home, is there a better way to do it? [22:01] install/partition/format/mount the new drive. and mount it as /home, or make a 'ExtraStorage' directory on it. and move some of the users over to it.. [22:02] depends on whats using all your space. :) [22:02] Its not too hard to move home over to a new partition. [22:02] how can i change the background color of the menubar to transparent? === root is now known as Guest45686 [22:03] i ment the menubar's clock applet [22:04] hello [22:05] what wifi client is more confortabily with grafical interface? (like wlassistant) [22:05] evan__: if i set my pannel to be transparent all applets backgrounds go transparent perhaps set it to default color? [22:05] Rioting_pacifist also as Dr_willis started, if it's just a matter of storage space it doesn't have to be in /home to be usable by all users. one can mkdir /storage ;mount /dev/hdx# /storage ;chmod 777 /storage and every one on the system could then use it. or if privacy is an issue you could give everyone subdirs as in /home so in /storage and even symlink /home/$USER/storage /storage/$USER for convienance. also yes [22:07] at any rate Rioting_pacifist learning lvm is probably a worth wile adventure. :/ [22:08] Does anyone here know why my glide wrapper shows up black? [22:08] evan__ right click the clock and configure it [22:09] Agent_bob: its fixed thank [22:09] thx i think ill setup my roots on it but leave my /home on a single partition on a seperate driver so its easily recoverable, thx for help Agent_bob & dr_Willis.

[22:32] hi, can i install kde3 with kde4 on kubuntu 8.04 together [22:32] i have seen people try to overhaul an engine with wire pliers, but they usually do better at bending/cutting wire with them. [22:32] ahmos, yes you can. [22:32] thank's [22:32] !kde4 [22:32] KDE 4.0.5 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.5.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 [22:32] You may end up with a lot of redundant icons in the menus for kde4 and kde3 apps.. Ive not messed with kde4 lately. [22:33] Ive heard kde4 has been making good progress lately - you may not want to mess with kde3 [22:33] or you may want to just insgtall specific kde3 apps [22:33] or you may want to use twm [22:33] :) [22:34] I like 'jwm + rox [22:34] thank u for the tips...and can i ask another question? [22:34] You just did.. care to ask a 3rd? [22:34] :) [22:34] jwm - Very small lightweight pure X11 window manager with tray and menus [22:35] wow. i had it already, just never got around to looking at it. [22:36] the jwm package. for some reason does not create a jwm.desktop file. so it dont make a entry in the kdm/gdm sessions.. [22:36] my sound device is marked in gray color and it iand os telling me it is not available,and there is no sound [22:36] at least it dident used to.. it may been fixed by now. [22:38] Hi all, this seems nasty on HH. 1.Boot into recovery mode; 2.lounch KDE3 and do nothing; 3.then normally reboot into 8.04 2.6.24-19-generic. Result is network down (must restart dbus to get it back) and if I connect a USB device it will be no more automounted (lsusb lists them correctly). Any clue where to look in the boot process to fix this? [22:39] i'll have to down the rez i can't read a thing in jwm [22:39] doesn't look like the fontsel is working. [22:40] so any help dr_willis [22:41] TrAndy i wouldn't look in the boot process, i'd look in /tmp and $HOME for bad ownership [22:42] I know very little about troubleshooting sound problems. [22:43] TrAndy you can try this, exit kde, press ctrl+alt+f1 login issue this command " sudo rm -r /root /tmp ;sudo mkdir -p /root /tmp ;sudo chmod 1777 /tmp ;init 6 " [22:43] Agent_bob: Do you think starting KDE3 from the recovery-mode's cli will change ownerships? [22:44] i may be on my way to doing my 1st install [22:44] ok thank u alot [22:44] TrAndy yep. [22:45] Agent_bob: OK, I'll get it a try. [22:45] TrAndy if that's not sufficient to fix all issues at any time/point issue this command "sudo chown $USER -R $HOME " [22:45] TrAndy you should learn what each of those do, before you use them. [22:46] NEVER blindly input commands you recieve on irc or any other source. [22:47] man man ;man rm ;man mkdir ;man chmod ;man chown [22:47] Agent_bob: No problem, I'm aware of. Thanks.

[22:51] Agent_bob: you know memory usage depends entirely on your usage pattern and how much swapping you can endure [22:53] PhilRod http://www.linuxemporium.co.uk/products/ubuntu/ <<< says 256m required for "other installation methoods" [22:54] i'm hopeing they are intentionaly exagerating it. === pascalFR is now known as PascalFR [22:55] PhilRod also as per your statement, i don't use swap.

[22:59] three is no reason that the installer should take more ram each release. [22:59] there === luis is now known as tigremx [23:01] this is the 1st time i try a linux install of any kind === perso is now known as ayayaie [23:01] hi all\ [23:01] does KMail/Kontact keep e-mails that are being written in some temporary file? After writing a veery long and thought-through e-mail to my boss, after hitting "send", Kontact crashed. I would really love to be able to get it back... [23:01] and just because some have brand new computers to install it on. is no reason to assume that all do, some would like to use ubuntu linux simply because their hardware is "too old" for M$ crap now. but i suppose that another distro is for those people. [23:02] bonjour [23:02] Agent_bob: I agree thoroghly, I don't get it why there are rising RAM requirements... [23:02] rysiek|pl i think so. does opening kontact not give you the option to recover it ? [23:03] Agent_bob: I'd rather have the filed copied somewhere, just in case kontact "clears up the trash" after crashed sessions... [23:03] *file [23:03] I have a filesystem problem. Trying to open my vm, i get an error telling me /tmp is full. I cleared it and still same error. df shows /tmp is only 1024 ... Seems like this is a separate partition / slice? df does not show that unless /tmp is in swap? [23:03] quelqu'un parle français ou bien c'est english mandatory? [23:04] Ooo... Myyy... Gooood... [23:04] Agent_bob: yup, it worked! GOD I love FLOSS! :) [23:04] rysiek|pl ok. i'm not sure exactly where but some place in ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/autosave maybe ?

[23:07] JuJuBee hmmm try sudo umount /tmp and see what it says\ [23:08] jab : not entry in fstab [23:08] Agent_bob: just so you get the pun of the whole situation, this e-mail is about asking by boss to let me take one of our desktops (I work in a software R&D lab at Warsaw University of Technology) to the "Woodstock Stop" - a *huge* music festival organised by those guys - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Orchestra_of_Christmas_Charity [23:08] jab it would more likely be in /etc/init.d/mountvirtfs [23:08] device busy [23:09] actually /etc/init.d/mountoverflowfs [23:09] there is not mountvirtfs [23:09] Agent_bob: the festival is very much along the lines of original Woodstock; there is, however, a special place there for NGOs, and one of the NGOs goes there to put a FLOSS/Linux stand up. So, basically, FLOSS saved a mail about spreading the FLOSS good word ;) [23:09] That kind of makes sense. My / got full. I should reboot [23:10] Is ther anything I can use as Hamachi for KDE?
