psycoIs it poissible to defragment my hd in linux?02:55
Agent_bobwhat fs ?02:56
Agent_boband why do you think it needs it ?02:57
* mr---t- though that was not needed inlinux02:57
Agent_bobmr---t- generally it's not.02:57
Agent_bobi have seen ext# fs with as high as 5% noncontiguous   but that is very rare02:58
psycoOh, well I have a diablo 2 error in wine and one of the solutions is to defragment02:59
crimsunI don't think it's terribly rare02:59
=== root is now known as DamienG
crimsunI have about 6% fragmentation on /, but that's in part due to carrying this over from Debian Potato02:59
DamienGHi02:59
Agent_bobcrimsun what i usually see is .3 to .5 %02:59
DamienGI was wondering if it's okay to delete boson_crash reports from my home folder03:00
cinexpsyco: you dont need to03:00
psycoAlright then.03:00
cinexwindows is very sloppy when it saves files. it 'spits them' at the drive. its designed to speed things up03:00
crimsunAgent_bob: I'd say somewhere between 2-3% is not unusual for installs having seen at least three Ubuntu dist-upgrades03:00
cinexbut int he end slows it down. thats why you need to defragment03:00
* mr---t- thats what i thought03:00
Agent_bobcrimsun yeah but 5 is double that ...03:01
cinexlinux stores them properly03:01

filo1234wich is the name of power manager on kubuntu hardy kde 3.5??03:14
Agent_bobtony_ not trying to distract your attention, nor discurage you in any way.   but, the best way to learn linux, is to forget every thing you think you know about computers and start from zero.   it saves time and things make much more sense if you don't aproach them from an M$ mentality.03:15
Agent_bobjust a word to the wise.03:16
filo1234wich is the name of power manager battery_status on kubuntu hardy kde 3.5??03:16

tony_agent_bob i will try my best03:17
martijn81filo1234: kpowersave?03:18
martijn81i am on sidux so i do not know03:19
filo1234martijn81:  nope i want use kpowersave, but at reboot start default power manager too03:19
* mr---t- doesn't use power management, on a desktop03:19
Agent_bobmr---t- yes and no.  why ?03:19
mitsdid anyone install intrepid and get very small default fonts?03:19
esterichia_colih03:20
filo1234mr---t-:  i have a lap_top03:20
Agent_bobmr---t- i was looking for a kde app with apm or power in it's name but dont see one...03:20
mr---t-I'm desktop only so I don't know about power saving03:20
Agent_bobmits i installed dapper and got very small fonts   default = 803:20
martijn81Agent_bob: why dapper when we have an 8.04 LTS?03:21
Agent_bobmartijn81 cause it was two years ago03:21
mr---t-he he03:21
mitsi just installed intrepid and the default general font is dejavu sans 9... but i think on hardy 9 is the default too...03:22
mitschanged it to 12 on intrepid to get the same size03:22
Agent_bobmits hmm at least they up'd one.   but that's still to small for a default.  imo default fonts should be at least 1103:23
Agent_bobi generally set my fonts to 14  i can zome out if needed03:24
mitsAgent_bob: so maybe on my other installs the fonts look too large for their size number :D03:24
Agent_bobmits that's entirely possable   and would also explain why the defaults get set so low.   perhaps the guy setting them had the same problem with font rendering.   (displaying too large)03:25
di48lowhy is my kde missing menus in kubuntu?03:25
Agent_bobdi48lo kde3 or kde4 ?03:26
mitsprobably... weird though... didn't notice something like that in any previous install (even intrepid alpha 1 i check out some days ago)03:27
Agent_bobdi48lo in kde3 a lot of stuff is hidden in the default kmenu    you can run "kmenuedit" and dehide them.03:27
Agent_bobmits heh i have literally held up a magnifying glass in fernt of the monitor to see how to initially configure things, because the deafult fonts were too small to read.   no joke.03:29
Agent_bobfront03:29
mitshehe same thing on that install :D03:30
* mr---t- uses kmag03:30
Agent_bobmr---t- but how do you find it ?03:30

cinexyep03:53
cinexin the kde enviroment or server type programs ?03:54
smartykde403:54
cinexthere is a directory: ~/.kde/Autostart03:54

cinex~/.kde4/Autostart03:54
cinexyou can put shortcuts and scripts in there to run when you log in03:54
cinexit should be documented in the khelp03:55
smartyok, let me check it out03:55
smartyone sec03:55
smartythanks by the way03:55
Agent_bob!autostart03:56
ubottuTo 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.html03:56
tony_Agent_bob I still can not get it working :(03:56
Agent_bobtony_ ok  you'll probably need to pastebin the output of "lspci -nn "   and ask for help with your specific wifi card,   unfortunately i'm no good with wifi / or network in general.  i'm just the cli / disk and file systems guy.03:57
Agent_bobcan someone help tony_ with wifi please.03:58
cinexwhats wrong with the wifi ?03:58
cinexi can set up wifi03:58
mr---t-!pastebin03:58
ubottupastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic)03:58
Agent_bobcinex he said that "<tony_> it can find the wifi but can not connect <tony_> i put in my wep key but it just dont want to connect "03:59
smartycinex: when I try to go through Konsole (cd .kde -> sudo gedit Autostart) I get the following mesasge03:59
smartyPlease check that you typed the location correctly and try again03:59
cinex~/.kde4/A <tab>04:00
Agent_bobsmarty don't use sudo for that, use kdesu and you probably don't have gedit  use kedit or kate04:00
cinexkde 4 has .kde4 not .kde04:00
Agent_bobsmarty also you can't edit a dirrectory04:00
smartythat would make sense :)04:00
cinextony_: must you use wep ????04:00
smartysorry, im a noob04:00
cinexI have never got wep to work04:00
cinexbut it might be possible to set it up with the iwconfig command04:01
Agent_bob!kdesu | smarty there are good reasons not to use sudo for gui apps04:01
ubottusmarty there are good reasons not to use sudo for gui apps: In KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)04:01
cinexwpa2 works well easy.04:01
tony_in knetwork manager it shows my wifi then it asks for my wep passphrase if i type it in here nothing happens04:01
smartyIt says command not found : kdesudo Autostart04:02
White_PelicanI'm interested in installing skype. It's not in the repositories as you know. I am running Hary Heron. There is a deb on the skype web site for version 7.04. Can I still use it?04:02

smartyOk04:04
cinexyeah but tony_ can u change the format to wpa2 ?04:04
cinexor is it wep only04:04
mr---t-wep is not very secure any way04:05
smartytony_ -- what kind of router do you have -- i had the same issue but resolved it04:05
Agent_bobit's like most "locks" it will only keep an honest person honest04:05
White_Pelicanis anyone going to answer my question?04:05
smartyYou may have to change the type of key (in the kmanager) to WEP with 128 Hex or ASCII04:05
mr---t-yes but omly 64 bit04:05
cinexWhite_Pelican: sorry. go to the website04:06
cinexthey have a linux version04:06
tony_no the other option is web 40/104-bit hex.......and if i try to type any thing in there it does not give me the option to connect04:06
tony_smarty its a belkin n104:07
Agent_bobQ if anyone thinks they know...    is it better for the battery in a lappy to keep it fully charged as much as possable,  or to completely discharge / recharge it often ?04:08
tony_smarty is that in the knetwork manager?04:08
mr---t-depends on the type of battery04:08
mr---t-ni-cads ,nimh, li-ion04:09
smartytry both04:10
smartyWEP 40/104-bit hex and ASCII04:10
smartyI see,04:10
mr---t-Agent_bob: what type of battery04:10
tony_smarty i have tryed them both and both dont give me the option to connect04:11
Agent_bobmr---t-   <sheepishly>   " a laptop battery "  </sheepishly>04:11
mr---t-it will say on the battery and sometimes on the charger, ni-cad , nimh, lith-ion ect04:12
mr---t-they behave differently04:12
Agent_bobwithout pulling the battery it says nothing.  i looked before you asked.04:12
Agent_boband i was trying to find something in the manual..   but it would obviously be faster to use linux to identify the batterey04:13
mr---t-well then if it's ni-cad they develope a "memory" so it's best to kill them dead between charges...04:13
mr---t-if it's nimh not so much but they do still tend to develope a shoter life cycle if charged when not needed...04:15
Agent_bobmr---t- lshw says           description: Lithium Ion Battery04:15
tmbglithium ions battery don't develop much of a memory04:16
tmbgso you can keep it topped off if you like.04:16
Agent_bobso do they last longer one way or the other ?04:16
mr---t-ah the best (imo) option , has nearly no memory characteristics but I would still not worry about keeping it charged as they have charging circiuts to prevent over charging04:16
* Agent_bob is more interested in total years than charge cycle timming04:16
mr---t-thats my point if they develope shorter cycles every charge they have a shorter life04:17
mr---t-all batteries have some (even a little) memory problem where as if you charge them before they are dead that becomes the new dead point04:19
* Agent_bob doubts the integrety of that statement. think lead acid04:20
mr---t-batteries are made to be cycled , max life (imo) is to run dead or nearly so between charges04:20
=== pteague_work is now known as pteague_laptop
Agent_bobif you tried to apply that theory to a lead acid battery you would drasticly shorten it's total life04:21
mr---t-Agent_bob: it's not real computer type memory , it's a term used in batteries as in a new remembered dead point at a shorter cycle04:21
Daisuke_LaptopAgent_bob: what did you use with lshw to find out the battery type?  i grep'd for description and got nothing about a battery at all04:22
Agent_bobDaisuke_Laptop use with ?   nothing,  just  lshw as root04:22
mr---t-yes but I don't think lead acid  have been used in lappys04:22

flaccidhmm what is a .udeb07:40
Agent_boba debian package specally designed for ubiquity.  generally trimmed and tweeked to allow the setup of the base system so that one can then chroot the dpkg commands   if i understand them correctly07:42
Agent_bobi.e. to install libc6 where there is no system you have to use a udeb  cause the deb will fail.07:42
Agent_bobbut i'm not very educated on udeb's either07:43
flaccidso there are .udebs on the livecd and not .debs ?07:43
* Agent_bob reminds flaccid about research.07:43
Agent_bobboth me thinks.07:43
flaccidi am researching, but i aint finding anything sir..07:44
Agent_bobboth .udeb's and .deb's could be found on the dapper live07:44
Agent_bobhave a live CD handy ?07:44
flaccidubiquity has changed a bit since then i'd say07:44
Agent_bobdrop it in and mount + search it07:45
flaccidi don't actually07:45
Agent_boboh07:45
flaccidim at my g/f's place07:45
Agent_bobi don't have anything newer than dapper07:45
Agent_bobi hope ubiquity has changed some.  it was very limited in dapper07:45
flaccidin my research i do have people calling ubuntu's install, image-based..07:45
Agent_bobflaccid they are probably refering to the squashfs image on the cd07:46
Agent_bobor at least should be.07:47
flaccidyeah im not sure, but you are right i do need t learn how this install works07:47
flaccidi still can't find a workflow for ubiquity installs07:48
* Agent_bob installs ubiquity to look into07:48
flaccidmad07:50
flaccidi think people got mixed up about this (including me) when m$ announced vista image-based install07:50
Agent_bobyeah...   that type "image-based" install is an fs image file that's copied to the hdd07:51
Agent_bobaffectively formating the and installing the system in one data transit07:51
flaccidand so the only requirement is to have hard disk space thats at least the size of the install image?07:52
flaccidwell you know what i mean..07:52
Agent_bobbasicly.  i think that they only image the fs and not the partition table   but basicly yes.07:53
flaccidcool07:54
Agent_bobkinda like   dd if=/dev/hda1 of=image.file     but with their fs size is not then important as it is with a real fs07:55
Agent_bobthat would not work with ext# for obvious reasons.07:56
flaccidand obviously problems would exist with vista there and hardware drivers because its not like a linux kernel heh07:56
Agent_bobyep   but they get around that with their ole trusty "scan all hardware and update" at each boot07:57
Agent_bobwhich i hate to see linux (ubuntu especally) moving more and more toward.   bloated slower and often buggy systems, simply for the sake of "just works", which often don't work.07:59
Agent_boband then the software buys just say "well you'll have to update your hardware to run it i guess"07:59
Agent_bobwhich really tic's me off.08:00
flaccidbut i didn't think ubuntu does any userland scanning of hardware on boot?08:00
flaccidits all kernel based08:01
Agent_bobthink xorg08:02
Agent_boband knetwork...08:03
flaccidthats different. i think the approach taken there is appropriate08:03
flaccidknetwork?08:03
Agent_bobit's just one step in "that" dirrection though.   if it flys everything that can will follow.08:04
flaccidand kdm/X takes hardly anything to detect and get going compared to the boot process with kernel..08:04
flaccidi disagree as 'plug n play' style X is important08:04
Agent_bob"boot process with kernel" ?08:05
Agent_bobthis system will boot from bios to login in less time than it takes xorg to start.   well to start anything usable that is.08:06
flaccidyep. everything including and after init08:06
Agent_bobi can get an x cursor in about the same time08:06
flaccidwtf. i don't think so. my system takes nearly a minute to boot and when kdm is called it takes max 2secs to start08:06
Agent_bobthis system is from bios post to login in about 3 seconds.08:07
flaccidsay you kill kdm/X and then run startx from a tty. X starts up in very little time08:07
flaccid3 seconds wtf08:07
Agent_bobbut you already have everything loaded that way.  test it from scratch and see how long it takes.08:08
Agent_bobboot to cli   and then run startx08:08
flaccidive already tested all of this08:08
Agent_bobi have too. i'll turn my lappy on and you can time it08:09
flaccidits better to be portable which is part of the point of the linux kernel then to have configs and drivers for hardware explicitly defined in userland so that when it boots with different hardware, it cannot. detection rules..08:09
Agent_boblilo prompt now.08:09
Agent_boblogin now08:09
Agent_bobhow long ?08:10
Agent_bobit's better to be free :)08:10
flaccidi don't think time is an important factore here, we are debating what should do what and ubuntu only uses the kernel for hardware detection besides what Xorg does..08:10
Agent_bobthe kernel is the only thing that can be used for hardware detection...     what am i missing ?08:11
chachook i have a problem with an old linux install i did a while back.....08:12
flaccidxorg does some direct probing as well08:12
chachoit was when I first started with this stuff08:13
Agent_bobchacho describe08:13
chachoi installed red hat linux 6.2 and I dont remeber the pass word or the user name08:13
flaccidi dunno you were saying that ubuntu is moving more towards  "scan all hardware and update" at each boot which is userland08:13
flaccidchacho: try single user mode08:13
chachoit boots in lilo08:14
Agent_bobchacho tab key to add options08:14
chachook guys i gonna need a walk thru on this08:14
chachosorry08:14
Agent_bobchacho actually you don't have to tab.   you can just press "1" and "enter" and it should boot to single user mode.08:15
flaccidchacho: goto #fedora for fedora help or google single user mode fedora. its just a kernel boot option..08:15
Agent_bobbut, iirc that will still ask for the root password.08:15
flaccidsome older linux may not require password for single user mode08:15
chachook let me see if they can help08:15
flaccidchacho: just do what Agent_bob said above..08:16
Agent_bobchacho so.  you may need to boot to init=/bin/sh08:16

flaccidchacho: why did you come to #kubuntu for Fedora support?08:17
chachoi didnt know about fedora08:18
Agent_bobat the lilo prompt select the kernel image you want to boot and hit the tab key,  add the keyword "init=/bin/sh"  and boot it.     mount the root fs in rw mode  "mount -no remount,rw /" and set the password, "passwd root"     mount in ro  "mount -no remount,ro /"  and ctrl+alt+del08:19

helpthisnoobieok rebooting now08:52
flaccidhelpthisnoobie: actually hehe the manually says to do shutdown -r now which is probably the same thing heh08:53
flaccidthey say this because: "Although the reboot and halt commands are now "smart" enough to invoke shutdown if run while the system is in runlevels 1-5, it is a bad habit to get into, as not all Linux-like operating systems have this feature."08:53

fredthemonkeyokay thanks - but i guess i am better off when i compile it myself because the gnunet repo is buggy09:52
flaccidum i don't think so. its not in a 'gnunet repo' and im not sure how the repos is buggy and how you would be better off compiling especially because you could have the same problem with that compiled version etc.09:58
fredthemonkeyfirst the official repo didnt work - so you have to add the gnunet repo which has that bug09:58
flaccidi installed gnunet from the universe repos without problem, and we are here to help with specific errors etc.09:59

ActionParsnipbazhang: im using wifi11:42
ActionParsnipbazhang: but is it just a config tool as i have manually populated /etc/network/interfaces11:43
=== yacc__ is now known as yacc
bazhangActionParsnip, well to use wicd you need to remove it, so guessing wifi will still function without it11:43
yaccActionParsnip, in my personal experience, KNetworkManager stops working properly if you have something configured in interfaces, but you mileage may vary.11:44
bazhangActionParsnip, ie using ifconfig etc will still function11:44
yaccActionParsnip, but if you are prepared to manage the interfaces manually, you can drop it.11:44
ActionParsnipyacc: awesome, just trying to skim down my system11:44
yaccActionParsnip, And naturally the backend that does the evil config stuff like network-manager11:44
yaccActionParsnip, Well, there is a simple way to skim it down. Drop KDE, Drop Gnome, use something like ion3, and only the apps you need :-P11:45
ActionParsnipyacc: way ahead of you. Im using fluxbox11:45
yaccActionParsnip, checkout ion3, it's clearly even more bare, OTOH, it's useful, it's optimized for non-mouse users :-P11:47
ActionParsnipyacc: Im checking it now11:47

MinnozzHi, I was changing the mount points of several drives in/attached to my pc, so I edited fstab. But now I'm wondering what controls what is displayed in "media:/", because it contains drives I don't want to be able to mount at all12:08
Boinchi all, im thinking of switching to kubuntu but need to be sure it supports my hardware first. Does it support really high spec systems?12:11
bazhangBoinc, what specs12:12
BoincAsus P5 mobo, Intel Quad q6850 extreme processor, Nvidia 8800GTX 768MB , Nvidia 8600GT 512MB, 4gig 1066 RAM, Triple Monitor, 3x Sata2 Drives (2 running raid 1)12:14
Boincbazhang ^^12:16
bazhang!hcl | Boinc check this first12:18
ubottuBoinc check this first: 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/DebuggingHardwareDetection12:18
Boincbazhang - in the case of my mobo they dont have the exact same P5 as mine but they have others P5 boards by Asus. Is that a good indication it will work?12:20
jussi01Boinc: why dont you just grab a live cd and see?12:21
Boincbecause i run a business and i cannot spare the time to be formatting, testing, and if it doenst work re-formatting and putting everything back12:21
Boincif it works and makes my system more stable i can spare the time to mess around getting it working12:22

ubottuThe /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions12:22

BoincMinnozz - was that directed at me?12:23
jussi01Boinc: a live cd meand you boot from the cd - the os runs from the cd, so you check it out without installing12:23
MinnozzBoinc: No sorry, I needed the info myself12:23
BoincMinnozz - :)12:23
jussi01Minnozz: please use #ubuntu-bots for that in future12:24
Boincjussi01 - but surely it wont have the drivers for my hardware on there?12:24
jussi01Boinc: except the nividia card drivers, of course it will12:24
jussi01Boinc: most of the drivers are built into the kernel12:24
Boincohhh excellent12:25
Boinceven for my network printer?12:25
jussi01Boinc: you can install stuff onto the "live" area and it installs them in your ram - so you can check out how things work without affecting your normal system at all12:25

bazhangBoinc, ie no guarantees etc12:31
Boincfantastic, which just leaves my nvidia gfx cards12:32
jussi01Boinc: you can install the drivers for them on the live cd to test also12:32

jussi01yes, of course :)12:34
bazhangBoinc, of course the livecd will be slower12:34
bazhang:)12:34
Boincohh i have 1 more question if you dont mind.....12:35
jussi01go ahead!12:35
Boinci run a website with a live help system called phplive. This requires something to be installed on my persoanl system to interact with the website for the support requests. This requires MS framework 1.1 to be installed on my system. Is there anyway around getting this to work on linux?12:36
jussi01hrm... /me doesnt know the answer to that one...12:36
Boincis the only way to install an .exe file to install wine?12:37
jussi01Boinc: is it something I can login to to test from here?12:38

aakashNo problem22:28
Mikeb4dwidmann_laptop: So would you say I'd need to worry about this?22:29
dwidmann_laptopMikeb4: swap is usually a seperate partition, if you come from the windows world they call it "virtual memory" there, it's where things go when you run out of room in real memory.22:29

=== ubuntu is now known as undead_m0nkey
dwidmann_laptopMikeb4: if you click on the partition in question in filelight, it will give you a folder-by-folder breakdown of where the files that take up a lot of space are located, where is it being used up at?22:31
dwidmann_laptopMikeb4: if you're unfortunate such that it's /usr, you'd only be able to fix by enlarging the partition (unlikely doable), or removing programs you don't use.22:32

Nyadhi. Is there anything wrong with installing all my apps from source and removing them with make uninstall etc. can it result in one program removing vital files for another program?23:02

dave11sry for offtopic question23:03
aakashwhen using wine -- how can you make it root access? (im getting this message: Please check that your disk is not full and that you have access to the destination directory."23:04
dwidmann_laptopNyad: well, smart thing to do would be to have it put its files in /usr/local or /opt instead, so that there shouldn't be any overlap, (even though there shouldn't be overlap to begin with, but you can never be too careful)23:05

dave11http://wubi.sourceforge.net/23:13
Mikeb4ok i see23:13
dave11it puts ubuntu on windows like a program23:13
dave11or other ubuntu distros23:13
NyadMikeb4: basically it allows you to install ubuntu while your in windows, well it does the basic setup and then you restart and it continues. it makes a folder called ubuntu somewhere on your ntfs filesystem which is the size you tell it to be. so you don't even need to partition your drive23:14
Mikeb4yeah i think that's how i installed ubuntu23:14
