| powertool08 | Does anyone know which config file has info on programs which autostart with kde because they were running in the last saved session? | 00:41 |
| powertool08 | anyone here? | 00:53 |
| zabbadapp | no idea, but via k-menu -> system settings -> advanced -> session manager you should be able to get rid of any saved session by turning it off | 00:58 |
| donsdl | I just installed StoreBackup by using Adept. Shouldn't it show up somewhere under the "K" menu? | 01:01 |
| powertool08 | zabbadapp: I need to disable compiz, when I log in it crashes and restarts X, so I can't go the gui route | 01:04 |
| F-u-z-z-Y_1 | I need to install a software for my printer, I'll download the .tar.bz2 file and extacted it to my desktop, now what? | 01:13 |
| powertool08 | F-u-z-z-Y_1: cd to where you extracted it and type "./configure" | 01:22 |
| powertool08 | F-u-z-z-Y_1: actually do ./configure && make | 01:23 |
| powertool08 | F-u-z-z-Y_1: the && means do not run command make unless command ./configure succeeded without errors | 01:23 |
| powertool08 | F-u-z-z-Y_1: then if both commands finish, sudo make install | 01:24 |
| F-u-z-z-Y_1 | i'm getting bash: ./configure: No such file or directory | 01:25 |
| powertool08 | F-u-z-z-Y_1: are you in the directory you extracted to? | 01:25 |
| F-u-z-z-Y_1 | yeh | 01:25 |
| powertool08 | F-u-z-z-Y_1: what is in that directory? | 01:25 |
| F-u-z-z-Y_1 | folder called cdroot and a file called autorun | 01:26 |
| F-u-z-z-Y_1 | no sorry | 01:27 |
| F-u-z-z-Y_1 | its just a folder called CDroot | 01:27 |
| powertool08 | F-u-z-z-Y_1: are they're any sh files? they might be hidden | 01:27 |
| F-u-z-z-Y_1 | in that folder there is a folder called Linux and autorun | 01:27 |
| F-u-z-z-Y_1 | inside the linux folder there is an install.sh | 01:27 |
| powertool08 | F-u-z-z-Y_1: ok make sure its executable, if not chmod +x install.sh, then sudo install.sh | 01:28 |
| F-u-z-z-Y_1 | if i run install.sh nothing happens | 01:29 |
| powertool08 | F-u-z-z-Y_1: and it was executable? | 01:29 |
| F-u-z-z-Y_1 | nothing happened. I just did sudo install.sh and got this... sudo: install.sh: command not found | 01:30 |

| BluesKaj | !dependency hell | 02:06 |

| BluesKaj | bummer | 02:06 |
| atari2600a | I mean I can fuffill the dependancies myself but something tells me something's wrong with the package itself or something | 02:07 |
| BluesKaj | atari2600a: you could use synaptic to fix broken packages ..it might work | 02:07 |
| dr_Willis | atari2600a, have you 'apt-get update' recently? try updating, upgrading, then try installing. | 02:07 |
| atari2600a | I already tried sudo apt-get check & sudo apt-get -f, both didn't do anything | 02:07 |

| Guest5391 | HI'! somebody can help me? | 02:12 |
| dr_Willis | !ask | 02:12 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 02:12 |
| Guest5391 | i need to install some codecs, but i don't know how :S | 02:13 |
| dr_Willis | !w32 | 02:13 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about w32 | 02:13 |
| Guest5391 | it's my first time in kubuntu | 02:13 |
| dr_Willis | !w32codecs | 02:13 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 02:13 |
| dr_Willis | Guest5391, for what task? the w32codecs pack from medibuntu is normally needed to play most videos. | 02:13 |
| dr_Willis | the kubuntu-restricted-extras package. installs some often-needed stuff as well. | 02:13 |
| Guest5391 | ok, i just have to download it? | 02:14 |
| dr_Willis | for w32codecs you will want to enable the medibuntu repository, and use the package manager to install it. | 02:15 |
| Guest5391 | !w32codecs -> where do i have to put it?, sorry, i don't know :S | 02:15 |
| ubottu | where, please see my private message | 02:15 |
| dr_Willis | you do not normally 'just download' things. :) you use the package manager to install the proper packages. In this case the package names are 'w32codecs' and 'kubuntu-restricted-extras' | 02:15 |

| dr_Willis | lampe, you can insatll both kde and gnome, and select what one to use from the gdm/kdm login screen sessions menu. | 02:42 |
| Schuenemann | lampe, install kubuntu-desktop | 02:43 |

| lampe | ^ | 02:47 |
| orvv_ | which command are u using? | 02:47 |
| lampe | no command | 02:47 |
| orvv_ | o.O | 02:47 |
| orvv_ | magically? | 02:47 |
| lampe | i got UBUNTU with GNOME | 02:47 |
| lampe | there is a programm called add/delet | 02:48 |
| lampe | and there i can search for KDE and press install and he do :P | 02:48 |
| lampe | so now must restart see yaa :D | 02:48 |
| TEA-TOO | restart in linux? | 02:49 |
| orvv_ | I am using apt-get, I got rid off all kde related packages and x11 as well as non-system packages | 02:50 |
| orvv_ | so now from a fresh cd install I only have 75 upgrades | 02:51 |
| orvv_ | many related to avahi, I wonder whether it is safe to remove avahi | 02:52 |
| orvv_ | can somenone tell me if I can remove avahi stuff? | 02:52 |
| orvv_ | I still got to cancel the upgrade | 02:53 |
| orvv_ | *time | 02:53 |
| dr_Willis | I would just let the system update and upgrade.... | 02:54 |
| lampe | did not work ... | 02:54 |
| lampe | it loaded the login screen | 02:54 |
| dr_Willis | lampe, it pays to be verbose and concise as to what your exact problem is. :) | 02:54 |
| lampe | but then it loaded gnome not kde | 02:54 |
| dr_Willis | lampe, and did you select kde from the sessions menu? | 02:54 |
| lampe | i want to install KDE on a Ubuntu | 02:55 |
| lampe | there where no selecttion | 02:55 |
| lampe | selection | 02:55 |
| dr_Willis | lampe, you normally install the 'kubuntu-desktop' package. and the gdm screen has a 'sessions' menu item you use to select what desktop to use when you login | 02:55 |
| lampe | wait | 02:55 |
| lampe | i will look | 02:56 |
| * dr_Willis waits and waits.. and thinks about changeing his nick to confuse lampe. | 02:57 | |

| orvv_ | is it possible to use a more specific kernel other than generic? for a p4 | 03:03 |
| dr_Willis | I doubt if there is one more optmized for it. | 03:04 |
| orvv_ | I think having seen i686 | 03:05 |
| dr_Willis | Install it and see if you can tell the differance then i guess. | 03:05 |
| orvv_ | would I have to change the profile or somthing? | 03:05 |
| dr_Willis | profile? Hmm.. it should just a new entry to the grub menus | 03:06 |

| bibstha | its a laptop i just iayyesterdnstalled kubuntu | 03:23 |
| zabbadapp | is it spinning down and up again? | 03:24 |
| bibstha | well its not the sound of spin | 03:24 |
| bibstha | imo | 03:24 |
| zabbadapp | what did it run before? did it make noise then? or is it a brand new laptop? | 03:25 |
| bibstha | its a brand new | 03:25 |
| bibstha | without any os, | 03:25 |
| bibstha | just installed kubuntu | 03:26 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, just replaced wife's hdd , was grinding so time for a new ..itwas 10 yrsold after all :) | 03:26 |
| bibstha | well i installed / in the end of the harddisk, does that make any difference? | 03:26 |
| bibstha | the end portion of hd is supposed to be fast? | 03:27 |
| BluesKaj | dunno | 03:27 |
| zabbadapp | i was once told by computer parts reseller that disks can make funny grinding sounds to begin with, because they are calibrating for temperature ... i.e. some feedback loop detects that the head needs adjustments ... | 03:28 |
| bibstha | humm, been running it for 2hrs now | 03:29 |
| bibstha | still weird noises | 03:29 |
| zabbadapp | is it several seconds apart or continous? | 03:30 |
| bibstha | zabbadapp: ya | 03:32 |
| zabbadapp | i don't think it's kubuntus fault anyway ... but i know little about laptops ... try asking again (i'm going to bed) | 03:34 |

| Agent_bob | ? | 07:03 |
| Agent_bob | i don't think so. | 07:03 |
| Agent_bob | you set size sith vga= in grub's menu.lst | 07:04 |
| Agent_bob | or if you mean the rez. for xorg, it has nothing to do with either. | 07:04 |
| Agent_bob | orvv_ but to answer your origenal Q, mkinitramfs is the command man it for the args | 07:06 |
| genii | You'd also need initramfs-tools | 07:06 |
| Agent_bob | installed by default ? | 07:06 |
| genii | Nope | 07:07 |
| orvv_ | Agent_bob: I don't know, neither the framebuffer nor X is showing up | 07:07 |
| Agent_bob | you have to be able to build an initramfs image, to be able to update the kernel genii | 07:07 |
| Agent_bob | orvv_ ati chip ? | 07:07 |
| orvv_ | intel | 07:07 |
| Agent_bob | really? hmmm | 07:08 |
| genii | Agent_bob: PErhaps it installs it as a dependency when a kernel update is required. But base install does not put it by default. | 07:08 |
| Agent_bob | well try this. set the kernel line in the menu.lst to "nosplash vga=normal" and try it. | 07:09 |
| Agent_bob | genii if it's not installed by default, then it's not needed to build an initramfs.img </shrugs> | 07:09 |
| orvv_ | why not defoptions=vga=791 | 07:10 |
| Agent_bob | cause you have a kernel installed and guess what it did when it unpacked it... it made an initramfs image for it.... | 07:10 |
| Agent_bob | orvv_ cause you want to be able to see something :) | 07:11 |
| orvv_ | oh I can by alt f1 | 07:11 |
| Agent_bob | pfft, then what did you mean by "<orvv_> Agent_bob: I don't know, neither the framebuffer nor X is showing up" <<< framebuffer is ? | 07:12 |
| Agent_bob | maybe the init scripts are resetting to textmode ... but anyway. if your only problem is xorg (for now) then fix it. | 07:13 |
| yao_ziyuan | there are some broken packages in my system. when i try to remove them, they require almost all packages on my systems be removed too (including those critical core packages). i've already let this removal go halfway. how can i restore my system? | 07:15 |

| orvv_ | brb | 07:17 |
| Agent_bob | of course xorg is still the same. it's not affected by anything in the kernel/initramfs boot sequence | 07:18 |
| Agent_bob | or at least "shouldn't be" affected by them. | 07:18 |
| Agent_bob | if you had ati chips i would have to correct that... | 07:19 |
| Agent_bob | genii hardy is not useing the old initrd-tools is it ? | 07:25 |
| Agent_bob | !info initrd-tools | 07:25 |
| ubottu | Package initrd-tools does not exist in hardy | 07:25 |
| Agent_bob | ok that answers that | 07:25 |
| genii | !info initramfs-tools | 07:25 |
| ubottu | initramfs-tools (source: initramfs-tools): tools for generating an initramfs. In component main, is important. Version 0.85eubuntu39.1 (hardy), package size 65 kB, installed size 372 kB | 07:25 |
| Agent_bob | is important ^ | 07:26 |
| Agent_bob | means installed by default. | 07:26 |
| genii | Interesting. I recall having to manually install it for some reason | 07:26 |
| Agent_bob | genii that was back on breezy maybe ? | 07:27 |
| genii | Well I have a dapper server could be it was on that | 07:27 |
| Agent_bob | i think the transition form initrd to initramfs wan in dapper... so if you upgraded to dapper then prolly | 07:27 |
| Agent_bob | was | 07:27 |
| genii | I needed a hardware raid driver to be loaded in kernel so had to do it that way | 07:28 |
| Agent_bob | right. but could have used the old initrd stuff. just probably didn't have a good doc for it... | 07:29 |
| Agent_bob | i think the two can both be installed at one time... i'll look | 07:30 |
| Agent_bob | yep you can have both. | 07:30 |
| Agent_bob | cause i now do.. | 07:31 |
| genii | heh | 07:31 |
| HPDV2000 | Does anyone help me with mounting iso file to linux? | 07:31 |
| genii | !iso | 07:31 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 07:31 |
| HPDV2000 | However, if the iso image is suppose to be run by windows os | 07:31 |
| HPDV2000 | would it work properly? | 07:32 |
| genii | HPDV2000: Linux won't "autorun" a cd for Windows. But you will be able to look at whatever files are on it by the loopmount way the bot describes | 07:32 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as Phelan | ||
| Agent_bob | also wine could prolly auto"run" it | 07:33 |
| HPDV2000 | genii, perfect | 07:33 |
| HPDV2000 | let me try agent bob | 07:33 |
| Agent_bob | HPDV2000 not that it would help you any. i was just saying. | 07:33 |
| HPDV2000 | don't need it to auto run | 07:35 |
| HPDV2000 | I have a game iso image | 07:35 |
| HPDV2000 | would like to try to run it on my laptop | 07:35 |
| jussi01 | !appdb | 07:36 |
| ubottu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 07:36 |
| HPDV2000 | now, do i need to download any some sort of package for the mounting process or it is embedded in my kubuntu | 07:36 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as Lectus | ||
| genii | HPDV2000: Both sudo and mount commands should be available to you. | 07:37 |
| HPDV2000 | so ... what should the mount point be? | 07:37 |
| HPDV2000 | sudo mount -o loop name.iso ( this part ) | 07:38 |
| Agent_bob | loop back device mounting is embeded in the kernel sort of. it's a module. | 07:38 |
| Agent_bob | HPDV2000 where ever you would like to access it. | 07:38 |
| HPDV2000 | give me an example... | 07:38 |
| HPDV2000 | can I put d: | 07:38 |
| genii | HPDV2000: You create a directory for it to attach to. The directory should be somewhere in your home directory if you want to find it easily in file browser | 07:39 |
| Agent_bob | but don't mount on something that you need to access already | 07:39 |
| HPDV2000 | give me an example please | 07:39 |
| Agent_bob | HPDV2000 sure you can. mkdir -p 'd:' | 07:39 |
| HPDV2000 | If the game requires the cd-rom to be in certain drive | 07:39 |
| HPDV2000 | never mind i'll try that right now :) | 07:39 |
| Agent_bob | you'll have to remember to quote it. cause : is a command in linux | 07:40 |
| HPDV2000 | yes i did quote it but | 07:40 |
| HPDV2000 | it didn't go through hold on | 07:40 |
| HPDV2000 | ok let me give you my command and please fix it if theres a problem | 07:41 |
| HPDV2000 | sudo mount -o loop sioas.iso mkdir -p 'd:' | 07:41 |
| genii | Hmm. Where to start | 07:41 |
| Agent_bob | mkdir -p 'd:' ;sudo mount -o loop blah.iso 'd:' | 07:41 |
| HPDV2000 | oh | 07:41 |
| HPDV2000 | I wish theres a gui version of this.. :S | 07:41 |
| Agent_bob | could have back tic'd it i guess genii ;/ | 07:42 |
| genii | Agent_bob: heh | 07:42 |
| === evilmachine is now known as Evilmachine_GER | ||
| Agent_bob | sudo mount -o loop sioas.iso `mkdir -p 'd:'` 'd:' :))) | 07:42 |
| HPDV2000 | :) ok let me try that one bob | 07:43 |
| Agent_bob | confusing as all get out though. | 07:43 |
| Agent_bob | HPDV2000 it does the same thing | 07:43 |
| HPDV2000 | I can't access the d: drive.. hrm... | 07:43 |
| HPDV2000 | linux is so hard to take a first step.. :S | 07:44 |
| HPDV2000 | ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh | 07:44 |
| HPDV2000 | i see how it works now! | 07:44 |
| HPDV2000 | it makes a directory itself and than mounts iso right there | 07:44 |
| * genii watches the light bulb go on | 07:44 | |
| genii | Yup | 07:44 |
| HPDV2000 | perfection!!! | 07:44 |
| sea4ever | lol,brilliant. | 07:45 |
| HPDV2000 | problem is... the iso is mounted into the folder (sorta like iso unzipping) | 07:45 |
| HPDV2000 | what if I want it to be mounted as a cd-rom like daemon tools\ | 07:45 |
| Agent_bob | HPDV2000 crash course in cli linux. the ; && || and & are all command seporators secondly the back tic's `` will execute anything within them before the rest of the line executes, inserting any output from the back tic'd command/s into the command string. | 07:46 |
| genii | HPDV2000: It didn't actually extract anything, just uses the iso file on the fly | 07:46 |
| Agent_bob | note that $() is prefered over `` because of "nesting" issues with `` | 07:46 |
| HPDV2000 | understood | 07:47 |
| Agent_bob | i tell you that in the hopes that you will be warry of running things with back tic'd or $() commands in them, specally if you don't understand them and don't know the people you get them from.... | 07:48 |
| HPDV2000 | now how would I be able to unmount? | 07:48 |
| genii | HPDV2000: See http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-guide/config-wine-main#AEN288 for configuring wine as to what drives it sees | 07:48 |
| genii | HPDV2000: sudo umount 'd:' | 07:49 |
| * Agent_bob could own HPDV2000's box right now. seeing he was wiling to drop anything in a cli | 07:49 | |
| genii | hehe | 07:49 |
| HPDV2000 | :( | 07:49 |
| Agent_bob | hey it's just common sense. if you don't know the person nor the command, don't run it. i'm trying to help you see the danger in doing that, not scare you into thinking i already did something stupid. | 07:50 |
| HPDV2000 | I would sense that | 07:51 |
| HPDV2000 | but since I got a help from you bob b4 with the wireless problem | 07:51 |
| HPDV2000 | rememberrrrr? :) | 07:52 |
| Agent_bob | i could have said echo "what means `sudo rm -r /`" <<< and if you had executed that, it would have deleted all files on your system... please don't try it. | 07:52 |
| HPDV2000 | i will try it right now sir | 07:53 |
| HPDV2000 | hehe | 07:53 |
| Agent_bob | HPDV2000 actually no. i see so many new names in here that i don't even try to keep up with whom i have talked to before. | 07:53 |
| HPDV2000 | lol | 07:53 |
| Agent_bob | for you it's one set of names that helped you. to us it's thousands of people we helped... | 07:53 |
| genii | !danger | 07:54 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 07:54 |
| genii | Just for anyone thinking of eperimenting needlessly | 07:54 |
| genii | *experimenting | 07:54 |
| Agent_bob | hehhe yeah. | 07:54 |
| HPDV2000 | lol | 07:54 |
| HPDV2000 | so there is no easier way to mount iso image to cd-rom (linux) | 07:55 |
| Tm_T | Agent_bob: you should NOT even mention that thing here | 07:55 |
| HPDV2000 | so that it shows up as CdRom | 07:55 |
| Agent_bob | genii you know even the fellow that has been using linux long enough to understand both sudo and rm well enough to see the danger in combining them can get fooled into thinking that within an echo quote it would be ok. and that was my point there really. | 07:56 |
| genii | HPDV2000: There's no cd/dvd emulator built in to linux like daemon tools if thats what you mean. Although there is something on sourceforge like that | 07:56 |
| HPDV2000 | perrrrrrrrrffecto | 07:57 |
| Agent_bob | HPDV2000 mkdir -p CdRom ;sudo mount -o loop,umask=000 sioas.iso CdRom | 07:57 |
| HPDV2000 | no thats making a dir named 'cdrom' | 07:57 |
| Agent_bob | oh wait. i misread you. | 07:57 |
| Agent_bob | yes you are correct. | 07:58 |
| HPDV2000 | :( i wish that code will do what I actually wanted | 07:58 |
| Agent_bob | but is what you want, to configure wine to look at the mountpoint as if it was the cdrom device ? | 07:58 |
| HPDV2000 | now what does umask=000 do? | 07:58 |
| HPDV2000 | correct bob | 07:59 |
| genii | HPDV2000: The wine documentation page I pointed you to... you can set for instance the mounted directory be something like drive_e to it that way | 07:59 |
| Agent_bob | HPDV2000 that makes it accessable to all users | 07:59 |
| HPDV2000 | yes genil i looked at the page you gave me | 07:59 |
| HPDV2000 | too many infos so must read few more times.. | 07:59 |
| * Agent_bob isn't much of a wine drinker | 07:59 | |
| Agent_bob | s/drinker/user | 08:00 |
| HPDV2000 | lol | 08:00 |
| Agent_bob | genii am i mistaken or can't that be done with a symlink in ~/.wine/ ??? | 08:01 |
| HPDV2000 | why didn't you guys tell me I can configure the cdrom at winecfg... :( ................ (GUI) | 08:01 |
| Agent_bob | HPDV2000 cause you didn't ask... ? | 08:01 |
| genii | HPDV2000: You didn't say you wanted wine to see something as a cd | 08:02 |
| genii | Agent_bob: Yes, thats the general idea, make symlink in there to the dir the iso is mounted to | 08:02 |
| HPDV2000 | HPDV2000: so there is no easier way to mount iso image to cd-rom (linux) | 08:02 |
| HPDV2000 | (02:41:50 AM) HPDV2000: oh | 08:02 |

| Agent_bob | genii but normally if it's client side i find my spook still here... | 09:16 |
| Agent_bob | you didn't see any Agent_bob nick collision stuff did you ? | 09:16 |
| genii | Yes | 09:16 |
| Agent_bob | oh ok. | 09:16 |
| genii | "[04:11] <-- Agent_bob has left this server (Nick collision from services.)." | 09:16 |
| Agent_bob | happened so fast i missed it. | 09:16 |
| Agent_bob | that's it. | 09:17 |
| Agent_bob | alls well | 09:17 |
| genii | OK | 09:17 |
| Agent_bob | i bet it was magical | 09:18 |
| Agent_bob | he prolly did it. | 09:18 |
| genii | If anyone the guy who arrived just before it happened | 09:19 |
| * genii eyes some users suspiciously | 09:19 | |
| Agent_bob | naw too obvious. anyone sharp enough to do that, will usually lurk for a little bit to dismiss suspicion | 09:20 |
| Agent_bob | genii you can hang out in efnet #blackhats for a little while and they'll check your irc client for security holes for free :))) | 09:22 |
| genii | I believe it. Probably in #whitehats too | 09:22 |
| genii | I don't think I'm going to venture there anytime soon however :) | 09:23 |
| Agent_bob | yeah. i was going to mention both but decieded that would be redundant, cause most of the nicks show up in both... | 09:23 |
| Agent_bob | ah come on, where's your sense of adventure ? | 09:24 |
| * Agent_bob is not there right now either. | 09:24 | |
| genii | Maybe from the company machine. But i wouldn't risk it on my laptop. Too much valuable pr0n on it | 09:24 |
| Agent_bob | lol | 09:24 |
| Agent_bob | arky ? | 09:25 |
| Agent_bob | an arky ? | 09:26 |
| genii | It's a puzzler | 09:28 |
| Agent_bob | don't ya hate it when all the interesting names wont talk back | 09:30 |
| genii | I sometimes think maybe most of the users here are just data-collection things | 09:33 |
| * genii thinks about Life, the Universe and Everything | 09:41 | |
| * Agent_bob thinks about thinking | 09:42 | |
| * Agent_bob gives up on it. "too late in life to start thinking now." | 09:43 | |
| genii | Agent_bob: I do my best thinking usually just before I'm dozing off | 09:43 |
| Agent_bob | hmmm ya know. i never stayed awake to see if i did or not. | 09:44 |
| Agent_bob | but yeah i know what you mean. you can kinda turn the world off and let your mind wonder | 09:45 |
| genii | Yeah | 09:45 |
| * luca_b is not "a data collection thing", just idling | 09:46 | |
| Agent_bob | luca_b is not a bot </gasp> | 09:47 |
| genii | Hi luca_b :) | 09:47 |
| Agent_bob | :)\ | 09:47 |
| luca_b | I did not go to work this morning (got sick) so I thought I'd just stay on IRC | 09:48 |
| Agent_bob | bashohII: well we're glad to have you. or we hate to here it, or what ever applies. | 09:49 |
| Agent_bob | that's oh; ^ | 09:49 |
| Agent_bob | stupid nick completion. | 09:50 |
| * genii smacks !tab around a bit | 09:50 | |

| Agent_bob | genii heh what's sleep ? | 09:56 |
| Agent_bob | :))) | 09:56 |
| genii | Agent_bob: At least right now I can afford to hang out late into the morning, still on vacation until 16th | 09:57 |
| genii | Wordays I usually try to sleep before 1am | 09:57 |
| Agent_bob | actually, i sleep rather well, and some times quite long. but my schedual is one of those revolving things... | 09:58 |
| luca_b | genii: Lucky, I have 2-3 weeks more before I can have some holidays | 09:58 |
| genii | luca_b: Remember to turn off your cellphone. I forgot to on mine and it was like i was still at work :/ | 09:59 |

| Agent_bob | and tripwire | 10:05 |
| luca_b | (should we go on further?) | 10:05 |
| genii | Theres just so many nice tools | 10:06 |
| Agent_bob | shorewall is only an FE iptables is already there | 10:06 |
| Agent_bob | "hunt" hint hint | 10:06 |
| luca_b | Agent_bob: a quite good front endactually | 10:06 |
| luca_b | last time I used bastille it hosed half of my systsem (admittedly it was at the time of Mandrake/Mandriva 8.1 if I recall) | 10:07 |
| Agent_bob | luca_b depends entirely on what you are trying to do... it couldn't do what i needed done when i tried it | 10:07 |
| Agent_bob | mdk8 yeah that's about the time bastille came out wasn't it | 10:08 |
| luca_b | Agent_bob: well I had a simple setup, net and lan, nothing fancy | 10:08 |
| Agent_bob | yes that's what shorewall/guarddog are for "nothing fancy" | 10:08 |
| Agent_bob | and work well for that. | 10:10 |
| luca_b | Agent_bob: still a huge leap than usping iptables manually (tried to in my early linux days) | 10:10 |
| Agent_bob | luca_b yeah it's not your common cli app | 10:10 |
| luca_b | Agent_bob: especially when migrating from ipchains to iptables I spent a while before I could figure out how to do port forwading | 10:11 |
| genii | AFK rain started pouring, closing windows doors rescuing cat etc | 10:11 |

| luca_b | Actually do you know who one needs to contact to add some stuff to the channel topic? the #kubuntu-kde4 one could use a link to my own (shameless plug) Plasma FAQ | 10:14 |

| === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ | ||
| Jucato | (stable? quite. features enough for your needs? you will have to decide yourself. and ask in #kubuntu-kde4) | 13:22 |

| Jucato | lintel: ubottu's a bot.. it won't have personal experience :) | 13:23 |
| lintel | :)) | 13:23 |
| Jucato | lintel: I find what will be KDE 4.1 quite usable. but I'm not your average user so... | 13:23 |
| lintel | Jucato, KDE4.1 is the reason why I consider to shift. Does Kubuntu also use NetworkManager? | 13:25 |
| Jucato | yep | 13:25 |
| mnoir | when I right click an icon on the desktop I get a menu that includes open cut copy renamr etc. Where in kde-land do I change this menu?. | 13:29 |
| mnoir | renamr=rename :) | 13:30 |
| Dr_willis | never noticed a simple way (or any way) to change it. What do you want to change? | 13:30 |
| mnoir | add a non-annoying delete, remove move to trash | 13:31 |
| mnoir | I thought previously I had this and I cannot find it :( | 13:31 |
| Dr_willis | I do recall a option to add a 'Delete' somewhere. | 13:31 |
| Dr_willis | or you hold down shift I think. | 13:31 |
| Dr_willis | or use shift-delete | 13:31 |
| Dr_willis | First tab in 'confgure konqueror' | 13:33 |
| Dr_willis | 'show delete context menu which bypass's the trashcan' | 13:33 |
| mnoir | Dr_willis: konq controls this? hmm - brb | 13:33 |
| Jucato | "the file manager controls this" | 13:34 |
| Jucato | (though you can set it in kcontrol too) | 13:34 |
| Dr_willis | Now if you are using Dolphin - Not sure. :) | 13:35 |
| mnoir | yep - the konq change worked - looks like what I used to have. I decided to do 8.04 clean since I have been upgrading since about 5.04 | 13:35 |
| Jucato | you shouldn't be using D3lphin :) | 13:35 |
| mnoir | and I wanted to wipe all the old unhealthy customized settings just to see how things work now | 13:35 |
| Jucato | but in KDE 4,it's the same. "the file manager controls this" :) | 13:36 |
| mnoir | Jucato: pray tell - why not (cite references)? | 13:36 |
| Jucato | mnoir: quite simple. D3lphin (the old KDE 3 version of the abandoned Dolphin) is incomplete, unmaintained, buggy, and just plain terrible. :) | 13:37 |
| Dr_willis | dolphin in kde3 - is one of the first things i disable. :) | 13:37 |
| mnoir | hmm - too bad - it's dual pane toggle is good | 13:37 |

| Dr_willis | hit F8 also to get a terminal at the boottom of the konqueror window. :) | 13:48 |
| mnoir | Dr_willis: yeah - I recall that but just getting an icon that opens the stock filemanager with one tweek will be enough for me - so I just save a new profile and invoke that | 13:49 |

| ngirard | Hi all, I'm looking for tips to enhance the package upgrading workflow between my 2 ubuntu boxes, let's call them a and b. For now, what I've been performing is | 14:26 |
| lfzcy | 大家好 | 14:27 |
| ngirard | 1) on machine a: | 14:27 |
| ngirard | cd /var/cache/apt/archives/ ; rename 's/%3a/:/' *.deb ; dpkg-scanpackages ./ /dev/null | gzip -9c > Packages.gz | 14:27 |
| ngirard | 2) on machine b: | 14:27 |
| ngirard | cp /etc/apt/{sources.list.machineA,sources.list} | 14:27 |
| FTB | Hmm? | 14:27 |
| ngirard | apt-get update | 14:27 |
| ngirard | apt-get dist-upgrade | 14:27 |
| lfzcy | 。。。 | 14:27 |
| ngirard | cp /etc/apt/{sources.list.internet,sources.list} | 14:27 |
| ngirard | While that method works, the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives/ keeps growing, which is quite problematic. | 14:28 |
| ngirard | Then I need a script that would, either delete the packages in machineA:/var/cache/apt/archives/ after they've been installed in machineB, or scans through the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives/ and delete all but the most recent packages. | 14:28 |
| ngirard | What do you think ? | 14:28 |

| coucouf | the latest version available through envy is 173.14.09 and it will avoid you all the harassment on installing the driver by hand | 14:55 |
| drmarwat | i looked for envy and i see many packages, should i just get the envy-core? | 14:56 |
| coucouf | envy core, and there must be a qt-envy, envy-qt or the like for KDE | 14:57 |
| drmarwat | yes these two are there too | 14:58 |
| coucouf | envyng-core and envyng-qt are what you need I guess | 14:59 |
| drmarwat | ok im downloading these, it will take few minutes | 14:59 |
| coucouf | take your time ;) | 14:59 |
| drmarwat | coucouf: thanks | 15:00 |
| drmarwat | does envy has a GUI or it works in shell only? | 15:00 |
| Schorfi | gui | 15:01 |
| drmarwat | Schorfi: thanks | 15:01 |
| drmarwat | i will wait till it is downloaded | 15:01 |
| coucouf | for what I remember, there is a console-only interface with envyng-core, and then either gnome or kde gui with the -gtk and -qt packages | 15:01 |
| Sophist | there is a command to debug programs but i dont remember it | 15:04 |
| Sophist | someone can advice me? | 15:05 |
| coucouf | gdb can do this but you'll have to read the manual :) | 15:06 |
| Sophist | i will do | 15:07 |

| coucouf | drmarwat: right click/unlock your panel, right click/add an applet, and find the virtual destkop applet, I don't know the english name sorry... | 16:02 |

| rickest | oobe: is it just one site or several? | 16:16 |
| rickest | those assertions usually aren't critical | 16:16 |
| oobe | just one site as far as i can tell but i use it all the time | 16:17 |
| rickest | oobe: try surfing other sites for awhile. it may be a bug with something that site is doing (and it still shouldn't crash) but at least then you'd know what it is | 16:17 |

| oobe | rickest, i figured it out it was the new flash update i rolled back to old one in apt/cache | 16:24 |
| rickest | oobe: ahh, that's disappointing but not surprising :) | 16:24 |
| oobe | its easy to fix probs if you can reproduce the errors | 16:25 |

| ngirard | coucouf: Hi, and thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately the output of lspci would be useless, but I'll try to plug the card on another motherbord and see wether it works. Cheers | 16:32 |
| rickest | oobe: yes, echo flashplugin hold | apt-get --set-selections # where 'flashplugin' is the correct name of the package | 16:32 |
| rickest | wait, not apt-get, dpkg | 16:32 |
| rickest | echo pkgname hold | dpkg --set-selections | 16:33 |
| oobe | ok will that stop future updates? | 16:33 |
| rickest | yes | 16:33 |
| oobe | i spose it doesnt matter | 16:33 |

| PHaLaNX11 | hi, kubuntu hardy tells me that i didn't make a clear shutdown with my ntfs partition (winxp), so the storage media folders become empty, what can i do about it? | 16:33 |
| rickest | echo pkgname deinstall | dpkg --set-selections | 16:33 |
| rickest | that doesn't really "uninstall" it, just releases the hold | 16:34 |
| rickest | you can do 'dpkg --get-selections | grep hold' to see what's held back | 16:34 |
| oobe | ok thanks i will save this to a txt file | 16:34 |
| rickest | oobe: don't forget to restore your ~/.mozilla dir if you don't want to have to set all your configs again | 16:35 |
| oobe | yeah i did already | 16:35 |
| oobe | thanks | 16:35 |
| PHaLaNX11 | i can't mount my ntfs partitions, my question is above thanks... | 16:36 |

| kilonux | ^^ OR i could | 17:05 |
| rickest | kilonux: if you install a metapkg, you get all the packages. or you can do them individually. It's not only NOT stupid, it's the only way it could be done | 17:06 |
| === geek_ is now known as geek_asleep | ||
| rickest | so 'apt-get install kubuntu-desktop', then (optionally) 'apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop'. They're not mutually exclusive, though. You can leave both installed if you want | 17:07 |
| kilonux | rickest: there wouldn't be a 'apt-get install kubuntu-desktop "except networkmanager" ´ | 17:08 |
| rickest | kilonux: no, unfortunately 'kubuntu-desktop' is a metapackage which keeps you from having to 'apt-get' 692 times. so install the meta-pkg, remove what you don't want/need | 17:10 |
| kilonux | rickest: thanks,, | 17:11 |
| kilonux | I do this to solve keyboard problem | 17:11 |
| kilonux | and suspend | 17:11 |
| rickest | kilonux: even then some stuff you don't want will have to stay (avahi for example). in those cases, you have to leave them installed but you can disable their use easily. | 17:12 |
| oobe | anyone here use ndiswrapper in *buntu | 17:12 |
| rickest | kilonux: just one of the disadvantages of 'heavy' desktops. the upside is you install one thing and it's all just there like it should be | 17:12 |
| rickest | it's a compromise | 17:12 |
| kilonux | rickest: I'll have to google avahi a bit...... | 17:13 |
| rickest | kilonux: hate it, I disabled mine :) | 17:14 |
| rickest | but then my network settings are very finite so 'dynamic networking config' is just not something I need | 17:14 |

| jussi01 | f3rr311: have you checked the appdb to see if it works in wine? | 19:42 |
| jussi01 | or is it native? | 19:42 |
| jussi01 | !appdb | 19:42 |
| ubottu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 19:42 |

| Tophat | is there a tool on the 8.04 LIVE cd that i can use to partition and setup my disks without installing? | 20:07 |
| rickest | parted, gparted, but I'd recommend the GParted LiveCD if you have time to grab/burn it | 20:08 |
| kaminix | How do I mount a cue/bin file in Linux? | 20:08 |
| rickest | kaminix: assuming you have the proper file system support, '-o loop' is probably the only other thing that's missing from your mount command | 20:09 |
| kaminix | How do I find out what fs it is? | 20:09 |
| rickest | kaminix: from wherever you got it? Is it Mac? maybe HPFS. honestly, it doesn't sound like a mountable thing but I could easily be wrong | 20:10 |
| kaminix | It's a PC CD-Rom I think. | 20:10 |
| rickest | kaminix: if that's correct (I'm still doubtful), mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/file.bin /path/to/mount/point | 20:11 |
| kaminix | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0 | 20:12 |
| rickest | kaminix: I'd have thought KDE would automount on insert if it was something your system knew about | 20:12 |
| rickest | er, bad comment, nm | 20:12 |
| kaminix | But it's a cue/bin, not a CD. | 20:12 |
| rickest | right | 20:12 |
| === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] | ||
| rickest | kaminix: google "linux mount cue bin file system". it appears to involve a little more work than normal | 20:14 |
| rickest | you need bchunk apparently to convert it to .ISO first | 20:14 |
| kaminix | okay, thanks | 20:14 |
| kaminix | Found a site :) | 20:15 |
| Tophat | rickest - thank you! | 20:15 |

| snirp | hi there, this one must be simple: how do I get the panel to sit at the bottom of my screen? | 20:22 |

| chemist109 | juan_: I use NX fairly frequently. It's much better than plain X or VNC. Hang on a second and I'll get the Hardy install instructions... | 20:59 |

| Vermux | how do I turn on colors in vim? | 21:19 |
| rickest | :syntax | 21:19 |
| rickest | and possibly :set filetype=perl (or whatever) | 21:20 |
| hola | hi guys i've have a problem with sudo | 21:20 |
| Vermux | rickest: pattern not found | 21:21 |
| rickest | Vermux: sounds like '/'? | 21:22 |
| Vermux | rickest: I typed /syntax on, or /syntax. it says pattern not found | 21:23 |
| rickest | Vermux: I said ":", not "/" | 21:24 |
| snirp | hey there, a bit of an issue [kde 4.1] | 21:24 |
| chemist109 | Vermux: To make it permanent, edit /etc/vim/vimrc and uncomment the line that says syntax: on | 21:24 |
| Vermux | rickest: I also tried ":" . it says :"the command is not available in this version" | 21:24 |
| snirp | whenever my system boots, i loose all the panels and plasmoids, leaving me with a blank desktop... | 21:24 |
| rickest | Vermux: sounds like vim-minimal or something maybe, I'm not sure | 21:25 |
| snirp | the panels and plasmoids can be added, only to be lost on reboot. No errors when booting | 21:25 |
| emilsedgh | snirp: haha, i remember it happenned in early plasma days.try updating and removing $KDEHOME | 21:25 |
| rickest | Vermux: er, vim-tiny maybe? | 21:25 |
| snirp | kdehome package? | 21:26 |
| snirp | sorry, newbe\ | 21:26 |
| snirp | path? | 21:26 |
| emilsedgh | snirp: no no, your kde's configs directory | 21:26 |
| emilsedgh | snirp: first make sure there is nothing important there | 21:26 |
| snirp | sounds scary.... | 21:26 |
| snirp | where is it at? | 21:26 |
| emilsedgh | and then remove it | 21:26 |
| emilsedgh | snirp: open a konsole and type echo $KDEHOME | 21:26 |
| snirp | where to find it? sudo ..... | 21:26 |
| snirp | ok | 21:26 |
| emilsedgh | snirp: how you instaled kde 4.1? | 21:27 |
| snirp | from a resource i added to the some file... sorry | 21:27 |
| emilsedgh | s/instaled/installed/ | 21:27 |
| snirp | worked fine initially | 21:27 |
| Vermux | chemist109: still gives an error | 21:27 |
| snirp | only after tempering with panel layout it started to fail | 21:28 |
| chemist109 | Vermex: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vim <- You're probably using vim-minimal | 21:28 |
| snirp | echo $KDEHOME comes up empty | 21:28 |
| emilsedgh | snirp: probably it was an old repository or something like that.4.1 will be released in 20 days, so i'd like to suggest you to be patient :) | 21:28 |
| sourcemaker | how can I disable the kernel martian source check... I can't use important applications within a vpn connection...??? | 21:29 |
| snirp | <emilsedgh>: bit tiresome to redo my GUI every boot | 21:29 |
| Vermux | rickest: sorry, I didnt know the minimal vim esists | 21:30 |
| emilsedgh | snirp: ..try updating or be patient for 4.1 release | 21:30 |
| hola | hi guys i've have a problem with sudo | 21:30 |
| rickest | Vermux: I didn't either until I got Kubuntu :-) | 21:31 |
| snirp | emilsedgh: the following repository: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main | 21:31 |
| Vermux | rickest: now it works | 21:31 |
| emilsedgh | snirp: better place to ask that it is #kubuntu-kde4 | 21:32 |
| Vermux | chemist109: it works now | 21:32 |
| snirp | ok, thx | 21:32 |
| Vermux | if I want to cancell temporary colors I syntax off doesnt work@! | 21:32 |
| rickest | Vermux: awesome, thanks for letting me know | 21:32 |
| Vermux | ok, it's good now | 21:32 |

| rickest | frojnd: if you can ping your gateway but not past it then it's probably your gateway. If you can't ping your gateway it's probably your 'gateway' setting or 'netmask' | 23:51 |
| rickest | frojnd: also, be sure you're pinging IPs instead of hostnames so you don't have to worry about DNS failing | 23:52 |
